Delete a prototype helicopter crashes during testing, hardly noteworthy or that unusual and not notable for stand-alone article. Already covered sufficiently in Bell 525 Relentless. MilborneOne (talk) 21:15, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I specifically took the details of the crash out of Bell 525 Relentless; please review if the detail remaining is still adequate. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 21:17, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I also wanted to add the NTSB made a recommendation to require FDR/CVR for prototype aircraft arising from this crash, so it could be kept as a precedent-setting crash. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 21:32, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It does appear this accident resulted in changes to the way prototype flight tests are conducted, with FDR/CVR becoming mandatory. Regarding effects on Bell Helicopter and the aviation industry, Vertical Magazine called its story on the NTSB findings (in 2018, two years after the crash) one of its top 10 biggest stories of 2018. Also, a deep-dive 2018 story by Rotor & Wing International notes that this was a crash during development of the first commercial helicopter with a fly-by-wire FCS, and ties that to the NTSB's found causes (this may be worth adding into the article). If kept, it may be worth renaming to Bell 525 Relentless prototype crash since it is unlikely to be the only accident ever of this type, but appears (at least for now) to be the only fatal accident of a prototype. Shelbystripes (talk) 22:01, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - meets WP:GNG and has had a lasting effect on flight testing. I think that the assertion "it is only a prototype" is bogus, as most prototype crashes have some lasting effect, if only to "stop being stupid and never let that pile of P** fly ever again".--Petebutt (talk) 02:27, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Definitely meets WP:GNG, and has had a lasting effect on flight testing. The details are important, but section was overwhelming the type article, hence this was a valid reason to spilt the information off to its own article. - BilCat (talk) 20:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Concur that this is an important point. The crash and its repercussions were massively impactful on the type’s development, and if there was enough information to justify spinning off a separate article, obviously we shouldn’t then delete the separate article.

Fails WP:GNG, as I cannot find any coverage online outside of an obituary republished in a couple newspapers. Fails WP:NGRIDIRON, having never played professionally, and WP:NCOLLATH. Coached a now-Division III football program for four games in 1894, and later coached a professionally football team four a few seasons before the creation of the NFL 23 years later.

  • Delete: I'm finding nothing available online except for the ref that's already in the article. Even if there are some additional vintage text sources that could be scoured for this guy, he doesn't appear to have done anything in his career that would establish his notability. Skeletor3000 (talk) 21:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article was in poor shape but has now been expanded. Messler played at the tackle position on Walter Camp's 1891-1893 Yale teams that won three consecutive national championships. These are the Camp teams that went a long way to inventing the modern game of American football. Messler was also the head coach of the 1894 Centre football team. He also later served as player-coach of one of the earliest professional football teams. Passes per WP:GNG with new sources added. In addition, WP:CFBCOACH notes that the College Football Wikiproject "considers all head coaches (past and present) of notable college football programs to be notable." While Centre Colonels football is now a lower-tier program, it was one of the truly notable programs in the early days of Southern football. Indeed, Messler's 1894 team competed at a high level with games against major Southern teams of the day, including a victory over Kentucky State (i.e. the University of Kentucky) and a close loss to Vanderbilt. Cbl62 (talk) 00:40, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Cbl62. Jweiss11 (talk) 00:47, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Cb162. Note, that point also fits WP:NOTTEMPORARY, as Cbl62 (talk · contribs) mentioned, Centre was a major college program pre-NCAA DI-A era. He also coached a notable pre-NFL professional team. If Ohio State drops to DIII and "is now DIII", that doesn't change past notability. Bhockey10 (talk) 02:32, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment changed vote below Unfortunately, none of the refs in the article seem to show WP:GNG on their own with one exception. The first book is a family history written by someone with the same last name, so not independent. The Who's Who in American Sports sent everyone in that book a questionnaire, so even though it can help verify him, the information seems to have come from Messler himself. The Pittsburgh Dispatch is a clipping of a drawing of all of the players on the Yale squad. The next three are reference websites. The Encyclopedia of American Biography might be a good source, I can't tell how they verify the information. Finally, the last reference is an obituary. I'm no specifically voting !delete, but I did my own Newspapers.com search of "Eugene Messler Yale" and didn't find anything (he may have been on the rowing team which beat Harvard in 1893) but I'm hopeful another qualifying source or two can be found, especially since he was the president of an industrial company in Pittsburgh. But if that can't happen, I don't necessarily support keeping this. Furthermore, WP:CFBCOACH cannot overrule WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 03:37, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As reflected in WP:CFBCOACH, members of the College Football Wikiproject have endeavored over the past decade to create a full record of head coaches from notable college football programs. Given the coverage received, and significant role played by head coaches, this appears to be a reasonable judgment. Moreover, this judgment has been consistently respected in AfD discussions for the past decade as evidenced in the Head coach notability discussion library. Cbl62 (talk) 18:07, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying it's an unreasonable assumption, just that if an article fails WP:GNG it cannot be overruled by a local guideline. Messler, at the moment, does fail WP:GNG. He doesn't fail it miserably, considering the Pittsburgh obituary, but I've done several archival searches and this is the best thing I've found so far (apart from the fact he wrote a lot of letters to the Pittsburgh opinion section, which obviously don't count) and that's about rowing and only includes a drawing of him and his name in a list.. SportingFlyer T·C 22:42, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Coached at the major college (at the time) and pro levels of football. This article looks reasonably good considering the time period. I'm sure there are more sources in contemporary newspapers but it would be difficult to archive them. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 15:46, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • What makes Centre College a "major college" program in 1894? It was in its fifth year of existence (fourth since coming back from a 10-year hiatus), and played in 13 total games before Messler coached four games. You could argue it became a major program about 20 years later, but notability is not inherited. WP:LOOKSGOOD is a poor argument as well. Eagles 24/7 (C) 16:06, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The question under WP:CFBCOACH is whether Centre was a "notable college football program". The 1894 Centre football team passes this test. Although Southern football was in its infancy in the 1890s, Centre was competing at a high level, playing the other major Southern teams of that time period, crushing Kentucky State (i.e. the University of Kentucky) by a 67–0 score and losing a close game to Vanderbilt (probably the most dominant team in early Southern football). Besides that, he passes WP:GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 17:39, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:CFBCOACH concedes in its own text that many feel it is too lenient of a guideline, so while it may represent consensus within that project, it's certainly not a notability guideline that is backed by site-wide consensus. As Messler doesn't meet WP:NCOLLATH, I think WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO are the guidelines we're shooting for here, and the Who's Who source in the article is the solitary source I'm seeing that may meet either, if we consider it similar to the Dictionary of National Biography mentioned in WP:ANYBIO #3. Otherwise, it represents a solitary piece of independent, significant coverage about his football career. For me, the question revolves around the weight given to the Who's Who entry. Skeletor3000 (talk) 18:01, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Respectfully disagree. This, this, and this each represent significant coverage for purposes of GNG. These were pulled because they were particularly detailed with biographical detail, but other source are out there as well. Cbl62 (talk) 18:11, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to the detailed piece in the Pittsburgh paper, the AP and UP both generated obits which were published in newspapers across the country. E.g., this. Cbl62 (talk) 20:06, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree he wouldn't meet WP:NCOLLATH as a player but as a coach of a major college program at the time he does meet the GNG as Cbl62 (talk · contribs) and several others have pointed out. Also, the original argument for deletion is flawed because he does meet notability per point 1 of WP:NGRIDIRON. "American football/Canadian football players and head coaches are presumed notable if they 1) Have appeared in at least one regular season or post-season game in any one of the following professional leagues: the Arena Football League, the Canadian Football League, the National Football League, the fourth American Football League, the All-America Football Conference, the United States Football League, or any other top-level professional league." The team and league he played/coached at the professional level in the pre-NFL era was a (the) top-level pro league of the turn of the century era and along with the argument made earlier that Centre College was a major collegiate team of in the late 1800s, notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY. If the KC Cheifs fold and Ohio State drops to D3, the current players and coaches of those teams wouldn't lose notability in Wikipedia 2120.--Bhockey10 (talk) 20:24, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
College football is not a professional sport, there is no reason to consider it a "top-level professional league". You could argue that the Duquesne Country and Athletic Club meets this criteria, but it was a member of the Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit, and that was a regional league and not a national league. Being a coach of a major college program itself does not automatically pass GNG or even NCOLLATH. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:44, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think you misread my point, College football is outside of the WP:NGRIDIRON. Being a major college HC, he does seem to satisfy that GNG as Cbl62 and others pointed out, among other side qualifies on that alone. But even if his college time is debatable, he meets WP:NGRIDIRON alone. In the late 1800s early 1900s all the football leagues were "regional" (even the early NFL development was regional). Footprint of teams is not a part of WP:NGRIDIRON, it relies on GNG and competitive level and the Western PA League was the top pro league of the time period. Even in its decline, teams from the league played exhibitions against the early NFL teams. The Duquesne Country and Athletic Club was the league's top team during his time with the team as a player and coach and cited in the Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit article, "the league's winner of the circuit was usually able to lay claim to a national, but professional, football title from 1890-1903.[3]"--Bhockey10 (talk) 20:59, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit article also states "The football clubs of the 1880s and 1890s were amateur teams" and I'm having a hard time finding evidence that Duquesne was fully professional when Messler coached the club. I agree with SportingFlyer that the references added to this article are not convincing enough yet that Messler passes GNG. Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:17, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That paragraph essentially describes the associations transition from amateur to semi-pro to pro. "Originally amateur, professionalism was introduced to the circuit in 1892;" Eugene Messler played for Duquesne 1895–1897 during the period the league's winners "the winner of the circuit was usually able to lay claim to a national, but professional, football title from 1890-1903.[3] One of the many citations in the article, from the Pro Football Hall of Fame considers pro to have initiated in 1892 Here. Also the Duquesne joined several seasons after the professionalism began and cited in it's article began "after four games...they began hiring stars and soon became the most professional team in the city.[3]" By all accounts, as cited in it's articles, The team was a professional team and the Western PA league was the top pro league of that time. Both fully qualify per the WP:NGRIDIRON and per WP:NOTTEMPORARY. --Bhockey10 (talk) 22:06, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Professionalism may have initiated in 1892, but that only means at least one player on the team was being paid. In the Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit article, it says that the 1896 Allegheny Athletic Association team was the "first fully professional football team". There is also a claim in History of American football that "In 1897, the Latrobe Athletic Association paid all of its players for the whole season, becoming the first fully professional football team." When did Duquesne become fully professional? Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:25, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Whether or not a team’s roster is 100% paid is not a qualification per WP:NGRIDIRON. Only that the individual played and/or coached in the notable leagues listed and/or "top pro league" of an era. I think you’re looking at this from a 2020s perspective but in the 1890s and early 1900s, pro sports were brand new. If any major pro sports team (MLB, NFL, NHL) was organized today like they were in the 1800s/early 1900s, by today’s standards almost all would be considered semi-pro. Even into the mid-1900s, many of the major pro league's athletes had other off-season jobs- Today that would be equal to a semi-pro standard.Bhockey10 (talk) 23:55, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Arguing over SNG is irrelevant considering he does not yet meet WP:GNG (per the source analysis above.) As someone skeptical of obituaries as notability-qualifying sources, I still think we're probably two sources away at the moment. SportingFlyer T·C 02:28, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is absolutely no valid basis for discounting an editorially-independent obituary with in-depth coverage of a person's life. Death notices should be discounted but not this. Cbl62 (talk) 08:14, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Everyone dies; his death was reported at length in Pittsburgh (his hometown) and in Dayton, Ohio, and there was a one-sentence blurb in Tampa. Whether obits are okay for notability has been a matter of debate in the past, but what is clear is that people who get long-form obits probably are notable for reasons other than dying. That's why I haven't gone all-out delete, but I'm surprised there's not more on him, especially his coaching career (only a brief blurb in the Kentucky paper.) SportingFlyer T·C 09:13, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It appears we have been focusing too much on his football career when he is probably more notable as a steel company manager and soldier. I'm surprised that I can't find much on his coaching the Duquesne Athletic Club, but that's probably because it was more of a side hustle while he worked at Carnegie Steel. He appears to have had some prominence in the industry and became friends with the most famous general during WWI. I have added several sources so his notability should not be in doubt. There are probably several more news sources, but I can't access Newspapers.com. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 15:43, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. There is consensus that the subject does not meet NPOL's requirements by his current position(s), along with coverage being primarily local. While a more general consideration of the body's standing (more specifically, that of its members) per NPOL could be had, there is firm consensus that CoR doesn't meet the current requirements and so shouldn't be retained pending that time. While a redirect was mooted, that consideration was significantly outweighed by the straight deletes. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable local politician. Google search shows no notability and basically unknown outside of his own county. The subject does not meet the notability criteria for politicians (WP:NPOL), in that local councillors in Ireland do not meet the expectations of an international or national office. The subject also doesn't meet the general notability criteria for people (WP:NBIO). He is the only member of Waterford City and County Council (32 members) to have an article. He is a member of various boards/agencies/committees that being a member of a political party (Sinn Féin) and a member of a county council normally entail, but nothing of national importance. Contested Prod with argument: "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage". The only press coverage is from local (Waterford based) based and does not meet WP:SIGCOV.

  • Delete - I was unable to find any sources that would help him pass WP:NPOL let alone GNG. Missvain (talk) 00:50, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Per nom and Missvain. In terms of WP:NPOL, the criteria is not met (seats on local councils in Ireland do not meet the expectations of an "international, national, or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office"). In terms of WP:GNG, the criteria is not met. (A search of the Irish "newspapers of record", namely the Irish Times and Irish Independent, returns only a scant few "passing mentions" of the type we might expect for any campaigning local politician. There are two trivial mentions for example in the Irish Times that I can find by tweaking search criteria. A Google News search returns slightly more local news coverage. But none of the coverage is about the subject directly, and there is not enough of it to meet WP:SIGCOV.) Doesn't meet any applicable criteria. Delete.

  • Weak delete - Waterford is not that large a city, but is regionally important. So an argument could be made for inclusion, but I can see both sides. Perhaps a redirect to an election page or the city's article may be appropriate. FWIW, my father's parents met there. Bearian (talk) 16:54, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep - the article cites several reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. I can find no mention in any guidelines that sources should not be local or regional press. The guidelines clearly state that coverage does not need to be about the subject directly, but needs to be more than a passing mention. That said several of the references refer directly to the subject. There are several extant articles on Irish City and County councillors.

  • Oppose - Per Spleodrach contention that subject does not meet notability criteria for politicians please note that the article has since been edited to include information regarding subject's membership of the European Committee of the Regions and Southern Regional Assembly. WP:NPOL presumes the following to be notable: 'Politicians [...] who have held international, national or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office or have been members of legislative bodies a those levels'.

WP:NPOL additionally presumes notability for 'Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage'.

It does not suggest that such press coverage cannot be local or regional. That said, there is significant press coverage both national, regional and local. Here is a non-exhaustive list of some non-Waterford national and regional, and Waterford local press coverage.

National RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta (National radio station) [1] Council Journal (National journal of the local government sector) [2] Tuairisc.ie (national Irish-language news site( [3][4][5] Irish Examiner (National daily newspaper)[6] Irish Times (National daily newspaper) [7] Irish Independent (National daily newspaper) [8] RTÉ (National broadcaster news website) [9]

Regional The Munster Express (regional newspaper covering the South East) [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15] and [16] Cork Beo (Cork-based online news outlet) [17] The subject is one of only a few Sinn Féin councillors to have their statements published on the party's national website. e.g. [18] and [19]

Local Waterford Today (Weekly newspaper and news website) [20] and [21] Waterford Live (News website) c. 45 articles [22] WLRfm (Local radio station and news website[23]), [24], [25], [26], [27], [28] and [29] Waterford Now [30], [31], [32] and [33] Waterford News and Star (Weekly newspaper) [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42]

Contrary to User:Guliolopez\Guiliolopez's contention above that 'none of the coverage is about the subject directly, there is a significant amount of local coverage directly about the subject to be found in multiple published, secondary sources that are reliable, independent of each other and independent of the subject as per WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. This list above is non-exhaustive and the result of simple google searches.

I disagree with User:John Pack Lambert's assertion that the coverage listed above is 'not enough coverage to show notability'. How much is enough? How many direct references to a subject's political activities in independent, reliable, secondary sources are required to determine notability?

Its worth noting that many Irish councillors are the subjects of Wikipedia articles. Here is a non-exhaustive list. I have not included councillors whose noteriety is paritally derived from other activities (eg. artists, former pop stars, former TDs, former sportspersons etc.) Ciaran Brogan, Cormac Devlin, Roderic O'Gorman, Cian O'Callaghan, Peter Kavanagh, Charlie O'Connor, Terry Shannon (politician), Holly Cairns, Pádraig O'Sullivan, Declan McDonnell, Michael Crowe (politician), Donal Lyons, Vincent Jackson (politician), Paul McAuliffe, Gary Gannon, Micheál MacDonncha, Mary Freehill, Nial Ring, Hazel Chu and Naoise Ó Muirí.

Notability is clearly established by the recent update which adds information relating to the subjects regional and European mandate as per WP:NPOL. The 'significant coverage' test through the many direct, reliable, independent references cited above as per WP:BASIC and WP:GNG.

Perhaps a wider discussion on the treatment of biographical articles for local political figures in Ireland is warranted, however to move to delete this article prior to such a discussion, given the prevalence of mixed-quality biographical articles for other Irish local political figures, would be an error, and inconsistent with the guidelines cited in this discussion.

  • Comment - Personally I had no intention of responding to that level of WP:BLUDGEONing. However, given the re-listing, I would simply note that the author's inclusion of links to several dozen news articles (in which the subject is simply mentioned in passing, and for none of which is the subject the primary topic), does nothing to address the WP:GNG concern. And the author's inclusion of links to several dozen other articles (in which the subjects are either ex-TDs, or Mayors, or party chairpersons, or otherwise not "equivalent" to the subject here), does nothing to address the WP:NPOL concern. Rather, all it does is suggest that the author hasn't read WP:SIGCOV or WP:OSE. And is otherwise more invested in interests which are external to this project than to reading/understanding/upholding Wikipedia's goals. Guliolopez (talk) 22:11, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The sources listed by WestWaterfordBrigade are nearly all local, from Waterford or Cork. There is no evidence of national prominence, and as has been pointed out by Guliolopez, national newspaper searches only return passing mentions.
I had not heard of European Committee of the Regions before. It is a body of 350 members comprising local/regional politicians from all EU member states, 9 of which are from Ireland. Given the size of the body, and its a talking shop without any real powers, I'd argue that membership does not confer notability.
As for the list of other councillors who have articles, this is just WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Also, most of those listed are former Mayors/Lord Mayors of Cork/Galway/Dublin which on wikipedia gives them notability. Some like Hazel Chu (first Irish born chinese person elected), Cian O'Callaghan (first openly gay mayor), have other reason for notability. Admittedly some don't like Holly Cairns, who looks like a candidate for AFD. Roderic O'Gorman was nominated for deletion in 2010 by me! The article was deleted but then re-created a few years ago. I won't re-nominate just yet, as there is a good chance that Rodders will be a TD by Sunday evening!
Is there a WP:COI here? How does WestWaterfordBrigade know the full date of birth of Conor McGuinness? This information is not on the internet. Does WestWaterfordBrigade have a connection with the subject? As I already pointed out that WestWaterfordBrigade is a WP:SPA. Spleodrach (talk) 22:15, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Having reviewed the wall of sources above he's only really locally notable, using my test that he receives coverage above and beyond what would be expected of any local councillor, which he does not in my opinion. Since we tend to find politicians who only represent local areas in local elections and received only local coverage around their position not notable, I'm !voting to delete. SportingFlyer T·C 05:01, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • commentkeep with respect Spleodrach your not having heard of the CoR says more about your lack of knowledge of this area than about the notability of the subject of this article. Membership of the CoR in itself satisfies the criteria for notability laid down in black and white in WP:NPOL - "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels." This could not be clearer. Your (by your own admissions illinformed) opinion on the CoR is irrelevant here. The criteria here is met and deminstrated. His DOB is available on his public social media accounts. Given we're asking WP:COI questions here..

Do you betray a conflict of interest with your apparent familiarity with 'Rodders'? Does that explain the double standard at play WestWaterfordBrigade (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:25, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Hiya WestWaterfordBrigade. A couple of quick things. Procedurally first. Once you have made your initial "keep" or "delete" recommendation, please consider marking further contributions as simply "comment" or "reply". Marking each note in a thread as "keep" is not in keeping with procedure. Now, to the main point seemingly raised, that being a member of the CoR automatically meets NPOL and confers notability, I would note simply that:
  • The CoR is not an elected legislative body. It doesn't draft, make, pass, or enact legislation. It is not a legislative body. Nor do its members hold an "office" (elected or otherwise) as expected by NPOL generally. (It is, as per its own terms, a "forum for local leaders to discuss common obstacles" to legislation which has been drafted or proposed by the legislative arms of the EU/EC. Namely the European Commission, Council of the EU or European Parliament.
  • Even, frankly, if the CoR were an elected or legislative body (rather than a discussion forum), the subject here is not a (full) member of that forum. The subject is an alternate member. A person who, with every respect, attends the forum if the full members are unable to do so.
I am delighted that the subject has been chosen to contribute to the forum. More power to him and the 658 other local politicians (329 members and 329 alternates) who also do so. But it is a significant stretch to suggest that one or all automatically meet NPOL by virtue of being full (or alternate) members of a discussion forum. EU-wide or otherwise.
Anyway, I'm going to step away now. As I've already broken the "don't respond to bludgeoning" rule I set myself/personally a while ago.... Guliolopez (talk) 00:35, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Please refrain from personal attacks, my opinion is as valid as yours. Just stick to the fact, and the facts are as Guliolopez has said on the CoR, membership does meet notability guideline as it is not a legislative body. The criteria is not demonstrated and definitely not met. As my "Rodders" comment, it was a humorous aside, jokes are allowed on wikipedia but often do not travel well. I have never met the individual but I do note that my prediction that he would be elected as a TD was correct!

We don't have any similar article (list...?) for another country. Setting aside that more than half of the entries here are not referenced, I don't see how this topic passes GNG or LISTN. Some families are notable, but listing them by oldest recorded date seems trivial, just like Foo families by region or so on would be. Thoughts?

  • Keep As mentioned in the article, most entries do not have a source because they all come from the same book, which itself is very well sourced. They are also published on the website of the Genealogical and Heraldic Office of Belgium. The ones not included in either of those places are all sourced independently. I believe that this list being included in a book of national importance as well as on the website of a renowned institution in Belgium is enough to pas the General notability guideline. I am not sure what LISTN is so cannot comment on that. I am all for creating such lists for other countries if reliable sources back them. --Brookford (talk) 13:56, 21 January 2020 (UTC) EDIT: I would understand that the format of this article would need to be re-organised, I simply took the same format as the French article, which may not be appropriate for the English Wikipedia. Also maybe the title needs to be changed to: "Chronological list of Belgian families"--Brookford (talk) 14:59, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, extremely incomplete and subjective list. First entry, "de belgique", leads to the article Monarchy of Belgium, with a family who only entered what is now Belgium in 1831, they come from Germany before this. Second entry; House of Limburg-Stirum, " which adopted its name in the 12th century from the sovereign county of Limburg an der Lenne in what is now Germany" They entered "Belgium" in 1068? No idea where that comes from, House of Limburg-Stirum doesn't mention that year. Third entry, House of Arenberg? "who took their name from Arenberg, a small territory of the Holy Roman Empire in the Eifel region", again Germany. On the other hand, there are 1000s of families who can trace their roots back to the 18th century, most genealogies which are created go back at least as far and show some members of the family to be in present-day Belgium in the 1700s. And that's even only taking into account the rather outdated idea of a "family" being father-to-son only, e.g. there are many descendants of Peter Paul Rubens alive today, but all through female lines, so no "real" Rubens is alive and they are missing from this list. Even when people and families are well-known and old, they are missing, e.g. Moretus has living direct male descendants. Of course, they are not nobility, unlike most or all of this list, which seems to be maintained by a rather snobbish group (not the editors here, the Genealogical and Heraldic Office of Belgium). Fram (talk) 14:19, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose it is incomplete and subjective in that it only lists entries that can be sourced... Regarding your point on some of these families not having Belgian origins, first of all Belgium didn't exist until 1830, and second of all, the article states that it includes families that were Belgian during the 20th century, I will admit that it should be extended to the 21st century too. Yes it is true that many families can trace their ancestry to the 18th century, but in this case, as in all Wikipedia, it needs to be properly sourced by secondary sources. Regarding the concept of a family, that is certainly a debate to be had but until then I believe that the notion that has been used in most of the world for most of recorded history should be used. --Brookford (talk) 14:28, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, are you saying that families can't be Belgian if they only entered Belgium a year after its creation? Which brings another question, are you saying immigrants and their descendants cannot be of the nationality of their host country?--Brookford (talk) 14:33, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the Moretus family whose ommition you claim to be because of snobbery from the Genealogical and Heraldic Office of Belgium, you will be happy to know that it is listed in the book and on the website under the date 1539... --Brookford (talk) 14:51, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm saying that "oldest Belgian families" is rather meaningless if you include any family which lives now in Belgium, but didn't live here at the time stated in the article. The absence of e.g. any of the oldest Antwerp Jewish families, which often have published genealogies going back many centuries, is remarkable as well. And thanks for adding Moretus, but the 1539 date is wrong, as that is the year the eldest child (brother of Jan Moretus) was born, but we have the marriage contract of his father, dated to 1537. This is easily findable, so if whoever wrote that book doesn't even know this, then the reliability of that source is dubious[10]. Fram (talk) 15:26, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That is your opinion but I do not think it is meaningless. You are more than welcome to contribute to this list with reliable sources. I do not know if the families you speak of are included in the book or website. You can check yourself here. The fact that "whoever wrote that book doesn't even know" that a specific family has another documented proof 2 years earlier does not make this source dubious. I am not familiar with this specific case but maybe there is no link between the marriage certificate and the rest of the family. Thus it may not be definitively proven that the family alive today is linked to that certificate. Even if it can this isn't making the case against the existence of this article. --Brookford (talk) 18:37, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the marriage certificate is for the father of Jan Moretus, and is kept at the Plantin-Moretus archives, so it seems well proven... But let's look at another example from the list. "1639: Goethals". What an utterly meaningless entry. There is also a "1550: Goethals de Mude de Nieuwland". Now, one can easily dispute the oldest entries in this book on that family[11], but the Biographical Index of the Benelux at least agrees with entries dating to 1217 for the Goethals Mude family[12]. Basically, the list is a minor subset of families, heavily slanted towards nobility, and is obviously incorrect. Fram (talk) 08:24, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I don't think Houtart suggests a relationship with the old Goethals de Mude family, on the contrary: the current Goethals family of which ancestors never were lords of Mude and Nieuwland and their addition to their family name in 1967 to Goethals de Mude de Nieuwland is based on the arms of the old family, not on a relationship, according to Houtart, so more an usurpation of arms and family name. Houtart dates the current family back not later than 1550, and so I am not sure that you are right in your assumptions. Paul Brussel (talk) 23:12, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My point is that entries like "1639 : Goethals" are utterly useless and meaningless. There are many "Goethals" families in Belgium, and one of them, according to one source, can be traced back to 1639, perhaps, if that source is right. For another family, "Goethals de Mude", this source claims 1550, other (also reliable) sources go back a lot further. The page up for deletion is presenting one source, which is contradicted by others, as if it is "the truth", and presents the information (by necessity) in a format which gives the readers no context, no background, to judge even what is being discussed here (Goethals? Is that the family of Christian Goethals, Henry Goethals (born ca. 1217!), Lucien Goethals, Raymond Goethals, ...? Presumably it is the "noble" family from Kortijk (because, let's face it, you can't be an old Belgian family without being nobility of course), which dates apparently to 1638, not 1639[13]? Looking at e.g; 1383: Della Faille, I can't find any sources confirming this date, and the very exhaustive published genealogy of the family finds no one before ca. 1400, and no definite dates before 1448 apparently[14] Entry 1587: van den Berg, is another example of a completely random name / date combination, not giving any useful information to readers. Fram (talk) 08:29, 4 March 2020 (UTC))[reply]
  • Comment -- We cannot retain the article under this name. Every family is in fact old. When the 14th Earl of Home renounced his peerage to become British Prime Minister the quip was made that his opponent was the 14th Mr Wilson, though nobody would have traced who the first was or how many generations had had the surname. What is involved here is families with the longest traceable genealogy. Basically this is families recorded in a certain genealogical dictionary, I am not sure that is an adequate basis for a WP article. I recall a discussion many years ago about a British book listing the greatest landowners in Britain in about 1870, a book which when published was a pioneering piece of research; we deleted it. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:57, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank your for the constructive comment. What would you suggest renaming it? I was thinking of “chronological list of Belgian families” or “chronological list of families of Belgium”. Any other ideas? Brookford (talk) 14:42, 22 January 2020 (UTC) EDIT:You said that "this is families recorded in a certain genealogical dictionary", but that was only the start of the article, but quite a few entries do not come from that book and all genealogical books and studies are welcomed additions to the list. --Brookford (talk) 18:40, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect, it is mainly based on a secondary source, which itself uses primary sources.Brookford (talk) 02:31, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Taking information and slapping it into a new format does not convert sourcing from primary to secondary. A secondary source is characterized by editorial and authorial activity such as transformation, commenting, evaluation, synthesis, analysis, or other such activities, none of which are evident in the source given here. In context, this is still a primary source. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 03:09, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware of what makes a source secondary. This book didn't just take information and "slap" it into a new format. It was an extensive research project with a lot of source analysis involved. As my discussion above showed, it is not just taking the earliest mention of a family, the links between all these records have been extensively researched, analysed and assessed. It is also very conservative in its process. What evidence do you have to say that it doesn't meet all the criteria you listed? --Brookford (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I'm usually a fan of such articles but I cannot see how the sources support it. A lot of the references are just explanations, but if you actually look at the others, they all come from the Genealogical and Heraldic Office of Belgium, which has a very specialized interest in this area. Other sources are self-published genealogy websites. Lists of political families or noble families make sense, a list of families with no social distinction doesn't make sense. This is essentially a list of people we have records of. МандичкаYO 😜 02:58, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Мандичка, I agree that neither this article/list nor its sources are perfect, but do you really think it should be deleted rather than improved?--Brookford (talk) 13:22, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It was my understanding that the subject of the article/list was what was required to pass a test of notability, not every thing - in this case families - mentioned in it?--Brookford (talk) 13:19, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The study of this topic is also the subject of Jean-François Houtart's book Anciennes Familles de Belgique. --Brookford (talk) 13:21, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I hope I won't be accused of bludgeoning for this, but maybe 4meter4 was referring to Félix-Victor Goethals's book: Miroir des notabilités nobiliaires de Belgique as well as publications by the scgd and the anrb which are all in the bibliography. (I know two of those are nobility-related which you won't like) Btw your comment on DGG's post is a challenge to a source not to the validity of the article itself. --Brookford (talk) 11:33, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DGGs comment was about the reliability of the book(s), so my reply was indeed a challenge to the source as well. Obviously, if your main source is not reliable, then the article may have issues as well (since the article is not about that source, but a summary of that source). I don't think using a mid-19th century book for a list like this is a good idea, the validity of such sources is by now very dubious (both wrt exaggerated claims, and with very incomplete research). And that book doesn't really concern itself with a chronological list of oldest Belgian families, it just gives an akphabetical list of noble families (with lots of information). Fram (talk) 12:20, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Houtart (2008) is in Belgium generally considered to be a notable and reliable source (but of course for some of the hundreds of families it may include mistakes). He is complemented by a series of articles by the notable genealogist Hervé Douxchamps, 'Les quarante famille belges les plus anciennes subsistantes', in: Le Parchemin, lastly in number 444 (Novembre-Décembre 2019). However, some family entries were not based on those but on outdated sources like Goethals and some of them I have corrected today. Also, Houtart doesn't list extinct families.

  • Comment: I have serious concerns about this nomination. WP:NPP is a failed proposal. nom. has removed sources and content from the article before nomination ... while there is nothing that prevents this, it means that what has been removed may not be subject to full scrutiny. The AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SQR Ilyas while in a minimal discussion suggested this seems to be a fringe party and the party's president claim to notability rested with the party; of which there were three sources in that article. The nom. has done a very much WP:VAGUEWAVE nomination and I perhaps would suggest WP:BEFORE is re-checked as the party does seem to have sustained over eight years or so. I confess to ignorance of India's governance so I cannot determine what elected seats this party holds or at what level and if it is reasonably sufficient for notability.

I have removed only non reliable sources and that all mentioned in the summery. Authordom (talk) 01:00, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well other people will need to waste their time checking that. Removing "reliable" sources and content rather than marking say Template:Better source needed is an issue. Adding notability tags and immediately sending to WP:AFD is an issue. The fact the nomination on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SQR Ilyas was for Non notable Islamist politician rather than simply Non notable politician leads to me concerns, probably unfounded, that you may be a biased nominator. All said however as far as I can make out this party did not and has never gained elected seats in the Rajya Sabha or Lok Sabha. There do however appear to be a number of references to the party in the news link in reliable sources: [15], [16] (Passing mentions but 2020) [17], [18], [19], [20], [21] ...Djm-leighpark (talk) 08:44, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Executive producer in Television is a key creative title. He is also listed as creator of many of these shows. He's been nominated for directing MTV VMAs, BET awards, Source Magazine awards, etc.

Also, the issue is that as a music video director, he went under the name “Vem”, and then added his last name when creating and producing TV shows. Thats the confusion. He’s directed over 100 music videos.

All the prior Wikipedia links mention him by first name to have directed videos.

He is listed as the creator of Car Lot Rescue:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Lot_Rescue

He is also listed here under director for DMX “Where the hood at”:

His IMDB shows him as the showrunner and director to multiple TV shows, music videos, and commercials:

In this article he is listed as a key “creative and development” producer with a production company:

Delete Looking through the list of sources provided by Mframe007 above, I'm seeing nothing independent that gives the subject significant coverage. Indeed, without wanting to pour scorn on Mframe, their act of adding a bunch of links to Wikipedia pages seems to suggest a lack of understanding of our notability criteria - WP:UGC explicitly states that user-generated content sites (such as Wikipedia or IMBD) cannot be considered as RS, and therefore they cannot be considered when weighing notability. They seem also to be unaware that notability is not inherited - being photographed with notable people does not make one notable. Florence Hansen's keep vote also misses the mark - the existence of links to reliable sources like the NYT does not mean the article should be kept. Neither source gives the subject significant coverage - therefore, they are irrelevant in this discussion.

Response As per WP:GHITS, posting links to show that there are "lots of sources" is no indication of notability. HighKing++ 20:10, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Confused There is also Virgin Australia Regional Airlines which seems to be sharing some of the same history as Pearl Aviation. Indeed the link for Skywest Aviation via Skywest Airlines (Australia) in the first sentence of the Pearl Aviation#History redirects to Virgin Australia Regional Airlines. I cannot make head nor tail of these two articles and how they are related or not. There needs to be a thorough review and partial rewrite of both perhaps to properly sort out the relationship or not. Perhaps we should be looking at a merge of both articles? Aoziwe (talk) 10:13, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - it seems the company that originally ran Pearl Aviation split into two - one took the passenger services (and became Skywest, now Virgin Regional); the other took the other services (e.g. RDFS, navigation system checking services, etc.) and is what is now known as "Pearl Aviation". Having compared the Virgin article and the Pearl one, there seems very little overlap. A bit of a tidy up of the first few sentences in the history section should adequately do the trick. I wouldn't support merging as it would confuse the Virgin article given it is now the subset of a very different company! Bookscale (talk) 11:49, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge With the Paspaley Company article. Which doesn't even seem to mention it, because it doesn't seem to have notability on its own otherwise. Since all the citations seem to be to the Paspaley companies site or a government one. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Adamant1: - what about all the other sources I and Aoziwe have found? Have you read the other comments so far? Bookscale (talk) 10:35, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, With Aoziwe's nla.gov source it seems you need a library account or something somewhere to view any of the articles it lists. So I can't really speak to those. Except that most of the sources seem to be from either Australasian Business Intelligence or Australian Nursing Journal. Both of which seem to have questionable notability. A nursing journal probably isn't reliable because it isn't really related to the industry. Just nurses that happen to fly in planes. So its not authoritative in relation to the subject. Other listed sources seem to be regional, like the North Queensland Register. Regional news outlets aren't good sources from my understanding. With your articles, the first one wouldn't load. The second isn't about the company. There's only a quick mention of it and there isn't real details. The third link says "page not found." So that's a nope. The forth is about The Australian Nursing Federation and not the company. Which is only mentioned twice briefly in the first two sentences. A random death on a plane doesn't seem notable even if there is an article about it. It's borderline sensationalism anyone and doesn't meet neutrality because according to the article "the poor service may have contributed to the death", not clearly caused it. The downsizing articles don't seem important either. Especially not on their own. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:01, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • Here is the third source. I don't agree with your assessment that just because you can't find a source it is worthless. And to suggest a Nursing Journal is not a reliable source about a company that carries out medical aviation services is ridiculous. Bookscale (talk) 09:09, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • I'm not sure what exactly your referencing, but I'll assume its not being able to access the articles in the .gov list. if you can't find or access a source its worthless because you can't add the relevant content from it to the article. You can't just cite a source devoid of qouting it either. Even if the source is about the subject. Both those things are pretty obvious. As far as the nursing journal goes, it doesn't matter if they carry out medical aviation services, it matters if they discuss the company in a substantial way and in the article you cited they didn't. Sorry, but Wikipedia articles aren't bibliographies of every document that might have mentioned a subject in passing. So, I don't really care about nursing journal articles (or any other source) that I can't access, read, or use to add content to an article. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:02, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
            • But it's a demonstration that there are sources available - which is adequate for an AfD. Seriously, I really feel like giving up participating in these sometimes, you do all the research to demonstrate notability and yet come across editors who just can't be bothered and nothing is ever good enough. Bookscale (talk) 11:43, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Bookscale: Your making it all about you and missing an extremely important point here because of it. One of the options in an AfD is to merge an article if the topic has enough coverage make it a notable subject for Wikipedia but not enough to warrant its own article. Ultimately its about improving the quality of Wikipedia. Not just confirming your opinion about a topic or keep an article when its un-warranted because "I put work into it." So, its about making A determination of notability, not THE determination of notability that I want. If it is merged that doesn't mean your work isn't for nothing. As the citations would still be used. I can understand your frustration though. Its pretty frustrating to take the time to review the sources someone provides just to mongered as a sexist like Aoziwe did to me below. We just have different opinions and that's fine. Don't let it discourage you though. We are all on the same side here. Also, read my quote below from the notability guidelines on having sources and that meaning the topic automatically warrants its own article. Hint, it does't and I don't think the sources do in this case. Again though, that's just my opinion. Your free to disagree. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:43, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There are demonstrably sources available, and in reliable publications. Just because they are not on line does not mean that they are of no value. Discounting publications with Just nurses that happen to fly in planes I suggest is either blatant sexist bias or gender neutral profession snobbery. Sometimes one needs to actually physically go to a library and read stuff. The sources are sustained and broad. There is quite sufficient WP:NEXIST to support WP:GNG. The histories of the two subjects need a rewrite to properly explain such, but AfD is not about CLEANUP. Aoziwe (talk) 12:48, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Aoziwe: Per WP:NEXIST which you yourself cited "We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list." So its not just purely about the raw numbers of sources. I said multiple times my main issue was with the lack of enough coverage about the company in the nurses journal. It didn't have anything to do with the profession, let alone the sex of the people in it. If the article was about the topic of medical aviation fine. I would care less since that would mean there would be enough specific details about the actual topic of the article. Which is a company not a profession. As it is though, that's not the case. Your free to disagree, but I did take the time to read through your and Bookscales sources when I could have been doing other things to make an informed opinion. Discounting it as sexist when I was extremely clear about why I made the conclusion that the article should be merged for reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with gender, I didn't even mention it, is pretty disgusting. It's also actually sexist IMO to automatically equate nursing with gender. Let alone to use the sexism card if it comes up when sex had literally nothing to do with the topic. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:43, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, we are free to agree to disagree. Aoziwe (talk) 23:46, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah totally. Making baseless claims of sexism, not so much. So hopefully you don't do it again. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:05, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Besides these coordinates actually being in Kent County, Rhode Island (and within the incorporated East Greenwich, Rhode Island), I am unable to find anything establishing notability for this as a populated place.

Deletion opposed. Such kinds of articles exist for many other teams, even for at least one example of a reserve team. Examples below:

One alternative to deletion would be to do a merge. If you’ll notice in some of my examples, a list of seasons and records/statistics tend to be separate. This HFX article was written with those two topics merged into one to make it more substantial, especially in light of there only being one season of information displayed.

Another alternative is to re-title the article to be more in line with other functionally similar articles such as the ones provided as examples. However, this would make the title rather unwieldy, which is why “chronicle” was used as an alternative.Lucky Strike (talk) 16:53, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I Googled the film and can't find any coverage in reliable sources, including reviews, except movie database pages that confirm the film exists, and has a soundtrack. The lack of coverage fails WP:NFILM. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:42, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment: I could find one review. But given the fact movie was released in 1954, and Internet was not that much common in India at that time; finding the reviews, and coverage on internet is going to be very difficult. But everything can be verified in non-reliable sources. Given the non promotional tone of the article, and the historical angle; I think we should retain the article. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:22, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Just because the article is primarily sourced does not mean it has failed general notability guidelines. It just means it failed to prove so and that it is imperfect. The Mindless Ones are servants of Dormammu used just as much as he is if not more. I found pretty much a lot of sourcing to discuss the characters talking about Dormammu primarily. Hopefully I will find more. Jhenderson 777 20:46, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A brief search turned up a significant amount of coverage in reliable sources, enough to satisfy me that this article meets notability standards. I'd encourage Jhenderson777 to consider adding some to the article and expanding it as he searched for more sources, but I agree with his point that the subject matter is notable and the article as it stands now needs improvement, not deletion. — Hunter Kahn 21:13, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • If it's all the same to you, we tend to constantly go back-and-forth in these discussions and end up just going around in circles without coming to any kind of agreement and just clogging up the AFD. So I'd just as soon avoid that in this discussion, especially since the loaded wording of your request indicates you are prepared to disagree with me no matter what I share. You are free to conduct a search for sources yourself, though I would certainly hope you attempted to do so before bringing this to AFD... — Hunter Kahn 21:25, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Dormammu. I'm not finding much coverage at all in reliable sources regarding them. They are covered in plenty of non-reliable sources (wikis, fansites, etc), are mentioned briefly in some plot summaries, and are mentioned in relation to Dormamu (i.e. "Dormamu uses his servants, the Mindless ones" kind of sentences). Pretty much the only coverage I'm finding that don't fall into those categories are a couple reports from last year where an artist revealed some unused concept art for the Dr. Strange movie on his twitter, which is hardly enough to support an independent article. They are covered on Dormamu's page, so redirecting there would make sense. Rorshacma (talk) 21:31, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'm not seeing anything at all in my usual sources -- Google Books, Internet Archive, Amazon and my own bookshelf. :) There's a post about a possible Easter egg in the first Doctor Strange movie.

Jhenderson 777 19:22, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that these three sources, [29], [30], [31] go a fair way towards establishing notability, but I think that there still may be a case to make for WP:NOPAGE that this information is best merged to Dormammu. As I'm not terribly familiar with this corner of Marvel comics, my vote can be interpreted as on the fence between weak keep and weak merge to Dormammu. signed, Rosguill talk 19:48, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's ultimately much of nothing. 1. Basic in-universe summary. 2. What seems to be some little indie band, album itself has 10 results on Google including that article. 3. Trivial movie speculation relating directly to Dormammu. 4. More speculation, but even less attention. 5. Just a single plot name mention, not even a sentence. 6. Plot summary only. 7. More speculation. 8 & 9. Extremely narrow listicles in which they are guaranteed to appear because there's only so many major villains to even list. There is nothing from which to even write an article. TTN (talk) 20:56, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For those unaware, TTN's modus operandi is to go through as many fictional character articles as he can at once, scroll down to the References sections, and mindlessly nominate as many Start-Class articles as he can based only on that. As we have been over, this is highly disruptive and violates virtually every policy, essay, and guideline. Your behaviour has also been opposed by multiple users (at least as many that support you) and you have been warned repeatedly to cut it out and open a discussion at WP:DRN, per the processes outlined at WP:Dispute Resolution, WP:Consensus, and WP:BRD. Your philosophy seen here and here also borders on WP:NOTHERE, and you have been banned in the past for similar behaviours by the Arbitration Committee. You really are going to make us take this to ANI or ArbCom, aren't you?
You do not have a consensus and at least a few of your nominations (including Goblin (Marvel Comics)) are going to have to be completely re-discussed due to erroneous rationales. You and Eagles247 attempting to strawman everyone that has called out the (very demonstrable) problems with the way you handle nominations as "radical inclusionists", not to mention ranting about imaginary conspiracies, isn't doing you any favours either. DarkKnight2149 06:24, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • It’s called having different standards. This same AfD could easily be the reverse depending on who decided to take the time to participate. That’s the only particular deciding factor here. You and some others here think it passes GNG (and one literally doesn’t care whatsoever if it passes any policy or guideline) with these poor sources. Other people would not. If you are going to make a report, make it. Do not threaten it. Do not linger around for the next two weeks. Take whatever draft you have from last time, edit it, and post it. This will be my only response to you. TTN (talk) 09:30, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or merge with the Woman on top article. Then someone should cut pieces of the content for quality and source the material well. But I must state that "related to Woman on top" does not mean "is the same thing as Woman on top." Looking on Google Books (without the "wikipedia" addition given for the search field above), it appears that Störm did not do a WP:BEFORE job before nominating this article for deletion. There is enough material for the article to stand on its own or go the WP:No page route. But the topic should be covered on Wikipedia. For example, this "Discovering Your Couple Sexual Style: Sharing Desire, Pleasure, and Satisfaction" source, from Routledge, page 69, addresses history regarding the sex position. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 22:33, 4 February 2020 (UTC) Updated post. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 22:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC) [reply]
  • Keep. No. This is extensively covered in the print sex literature, not to mention online. I can provide an extensive and by no means exhaustive book list (if you're keen on having an online adventure, I encourage you to look elsewhere too!):
Again, there is plenty of coverage in relevant sexology books. Just because this is about sex shouldn't make you uncomfortable enough to nominate for deletion. Best, PK650 (talk) 04:35, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any evidence of meeting WP:Notability on my own. Only one of the sources listed in the article, this one, gives any independent coverage.

  • Delete. Civil servants at the "deputy minister" level can certainly qualify for Wikipedia articles if they're properly referenced to sufficient reliable source coverage about them in media to clear WP:GNG, but are not handed any automatic notability freebies just because it's technically verifiable that they exist. But this is written like a résumé, not like an encyclopedia article, and the references aren't getting him over GNG — out of six footnotes, four primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, like a press release from his own employer and a newspaper piece where he's the bylined author of the content and not its subject and two YouTube videos. And the only two sources that are to real media just glancingly mention his name in the process of not being substantively about him, which means they aren't getting him over the bar by themselves either if they're the only reliable sources in play.

Yeah they are, as shown in that AFD. Besides, WP:N says that [a] topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and [i]t is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy. WP:NPOL is a "subject-specific guideline" and covers [p]oliticians and judges who have held international, national [...] office and is vague on who to apply it to, so we have WP:POLOUTCOMES to determine that, and we have something addressing "sub-cabinet officials". ミラP 21:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This fails to establish notability. Deprodder cites "Hero-A-Go-Go," but that contains coverage on a single page (pg. 261) with no particular commentary other than a reference to a band parody trend at the time. The most you could do is use it in place of primary material to describe some of the plot info. They also cite "Can Rock & Roll Save the World?," but that is literally a single mention of their name (pg. 170) in reference to some other group. That is the literal definition of trivial mention. The threshold of inclusion would need to be greatly lowered for those to establish notability. The topic can simply be covered in Showcase (comics). TTN (talk) 12:03, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect/Selective Merge to Showcase (comics)- Minor group that appeared in a total of three comic book issues. The sources provided in the AFD are not valid sources to establish notability - the one book actually is a decent source, but the rest are all blog posts that are not considered to be reliable. The single source is not sufficient to pass the WP:GNG. A redirect to the main series article would be logical, though.

Changing to Weak delete. While I think that he barely scrapes over the bar of notability, two exhaustive searches for online sources give little detail, even from trivial mentions. There is so little information that we are probably close to repeating the "about the author" section of his own book. For me this is a case of an article that would be useful to Wikipedia, if we had the reliable sources to take us beyond a list of his works.

  • delete There's definitely a clump of houses and such in this area, but nothing except for words on topo maps gives it a name. Searching for it comes up with nothing but typical geoclickbait, and less of that than usual. Mangoe (talk) 02:27, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep. I found at least three Tunnel Inns in California, one in Lafayette, CA, which is the one Reywas92 mentioned as having good steaks and a bowling league. There seems to have been another in Sacramento. By searching for "Tunnel Inn Shasta", I did find these articles Bar fight at the Tunnel Inn, which supports the Tunnel Inn being only an inn, Timber blaze under control, says "prevent the fire from reaching the Tunnel Inn area, a heavily populated area," supports keeping the article, Obit that mentions that the wife and son were "both of the Tunnel Inn District," which supports keeping the article. Looking at WP:GEOLAND, this place is not obviously in the category of "Populated, legally recognized places", though it did have a FIPS code and it is listed in a California Roster of Federal, State, County and City Officials 1964, so it does have some legal recognition. As far as "Populated places without legal recognition," I've only found trivial coverage in newspapers, so it fails that test. On the basis of the FIPS code and being in the roster, I feel the article meets WP:GEOLAND. Cxbrx (talk) 18:20, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    All of the railroad spurs of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susie, Washington have the same five-digit census codes. They're automatically provided for everything in the GNIS and is not a statement of being a legally recognized populated place. The California Roster I assume uses the same data from USGS, but the same page that lists "Tunnel Inn, Shasta" has a "Union Creek, Trinity", which is only in the GNIS as a stream, as well as "Union Air Terminal, Los Angeles": Hollywood Burbank Airport is not a populated place! Reywas92Talk 19:38, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks! I'm not that up on FIPS. Good call on the Roster. Until I found those two sources, I would have moved for weak delete, so I'll change my position to Weak Delete now. Cxbrx (talk) 19:46, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kautilya3 your link below doesnt work, please fix the link. I think MRM should be merged to RSS or to Sangh Parivar if it survives the AfD--DBigXray 08:56, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Going by your comment, this organization breezes past the alternate criteria for non-commercial organizations. Moving on... Dee03 21:43, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, as pointed out elsewhere, WP:ROUTINE only applies to the notability of events, so it should not be used as an argument on notability of individuals and organizations. --Soman (talk) 00:28, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Dee03, MRM is a Muslim WP:BRANCH of RSS, so it still needs an independent notability pass if it has to exist as a seperate article, and I don't see how it breezes past the criteria. Soman, if you dont want WP:ROUTINE to be invoked, then please do not use routine coverage of events in the newspapers. --DBigXray 19:33, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Asking us to evaluate this using BRANCH has become slightly repetitive and redundant at this point, given that BRANCH is being cited incorrectly to begin with. As demonstrated by multiple editors, this organization is notable on its own, unlike recently deleted ones like BJYM Karnataka and BJYM Mumbai, which were indeed examples of BRANCH, i.e., individual chapters of national and international organizations. MRM passes the alternate criteria by satisfying two (NONPROFIT and GNG), if not all three, of the notability requirements outlined there. Dee03 08:09, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Leviv I have reviewed the links and I note that all of them are referring it as RSS body,
RSS is a notable organisation and these appear to be dependent coverage based on the popularity of RSS as it is a WP:BRANCH of RSS. Accordingly I have changed my vote from Delete to Merge with Sangh Parivar (also fine with a merge with RSS) as I think we should have the info about this wing of RSS somewhere. Sangh Parivar being the umbrella term for RSS organizations. seems to be the best alternative the other being Rashtriya Swayamsevak SanghDBigXray 08:57, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I’m not surprised that every source discussing MSM also discuss RSS since MSM is part of RSS, but although RSS is mentioned, the articles I linked to are in-depth coverage of MSM, not RSS, and that’s why I think it should be kept (although I see it as a WP:PAGEDECIDE/WP:PAGESIZE issue more than a notability issue, so I’m not terribly opposed to a merge). Levivich (lulz) 23:12, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Levivich, These links are actually introducing it as RSS wing and talking about MRM in context of RSS. All these articles make it clear that they consider the reader to be familiar with RSS and unfamiliar with MRM. Had MRM been notable to merit a separate article, the media would have jumped into discussing MRM exclusively. RSS page, I note that has "readable Prose size (text only) = 52 kB (8592 words) so clearly RSS article is not WP:TOOBIG per the WP:PAGESIZE. regarding WP:PAGEDECIDE, I would say that it actually suggests to merge since MRM so far has basically been a messenger for the RSS to communicate RSS' policies to the muslim masses. There is no major work that can be discussed in this exclusive article and the reader is better served by reading about MRM as a section in RSS. --DBigXray 09:58, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Had MRM been notable to merit a separate article, the media would have jumped into discussing MRM exclusively.[citation needed] As for whether it’s better for the reader for the articles to be merged or not, that’s an editorial decision that should be discussed on the talk page of RSS per our usual merge discussion procedure. This AFD nom is based on the argument that the subject fails GNG and NORG. I think the sources disprove that. So it’s a keep. The fact that it could be merged doesn’t make it not-a-keep. Literally every article that meets GNG could be merged. I don’t really like discussing mergers at AFDs, because watchers of the RSS article may not even be aware of this AFD. So you can argue merge until you’re blue in the face, it won’t change my mind that this article topic meets GNG. That opinion of mine is based on the sourcing, not on arguments about merger, because whether an article should be merged has little to do with whether an article meets GNG, as explained in PAGEDECIDE.

Problem: they're all hardcopy, and available in only one location. There's a real scarcity of info online, and what I did look at before was conflicting. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:29, 10 February 2020 (UTC) p.s. I found and added one old but fairly detailed and reliable online source which I found after writing the above, which gives a rough outline of the main elements of the story, adding that space does not allow for the many variants. This may be a good starting point to work from, if the article is to be kept (assuming someone has the time and will to improve it). Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:47, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that's true but I think it's important to remember that "Even though Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, there is no distinction between using online versus offline sources": WP:OFFLINE.

I don't know much about this topic and added a keep in good faith but if there's a better place to put this, I'm happy to be convinced - it would be helpful for you as someone much more knowledgeable about the topic to explain a bit more. For example, if the myth is valid but nothing worth merging here, why not a redirect? I also don't understand why any of the responses here may have warranted a rude reply if you were able to do that - they seem to have been made in good faith with limited information. Bookscale (talk) 10:20, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • reply - there is clear evidence another article exists, with better context and references, this afd seems a time waster - on the basis that as the article with context already exists, there is no need to have a separate article.

  • Comment I may have muddied the waters somewhat by finding a reliable source and adding a bit of info from this yesterday.

Glen Dettman is a promoter of the alternative medicine megavitamin therapy. The article is written very much like a résumé and appears to serve only to boost the prestige of a supporter of an alternative medicine adjacent to anti-vaccination. With regard to notability, the only references currently cited are an automatic WW2 Nominal Roll, a book written by Glen Dettman, and two obituaries in blogs. I could not find any reliable sources about Glen Dettman. He appears to fail WP:GNG/WP:BASIC and WP:NAUTHOR. userdude 06:47, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This was already AfDd once, and despite reaching a delete consensus was apparently never deleted. Granted, there's a couple of additional sources now, but they barely go further than saying the project exists. The vast majority of the sources are either primary, self-published, or both.

  • Delete: I can't find any other film or TV credits besides the one mentioned in the article, and that film doesn't seems all that notable anyway. The article claims that she has worked in theatre, but there is no source to confirm that, nor could I find any; but if others can, I will certainly take that on board. She seems to be more of a social media influencer than an actress, with 112,000 followers on Instagram. I don't think she meets the standards for an actress, but maybe others have different views regarding her notability as an influencer. Dflaw4 (talk) 07:45, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. Reasonable editors appear to differ on exactly whether this article passes the WP:NACTOR criterion or other more general ones. No strong consensus either way really develops; and given the general agreement that the overall notability of this actor potentially hinges significantly on an upcoming production, it seems like this disagreement can potentially be settled by a renomination in a few months time if this does not bring significant reliable-source coverage. ~ mazca talk 15:14, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep: Taking into account his upcoming role in Broke (2020 TV series), I think he might just scrape through with WP:NACTOR. In terms of WP:GNG, he is mentioned in a lot of articles, including Deadline Hollywood, and there are a couple of articles dedicated just to him, although they seem to be local news (in San Antonio). So while it may be WP:TOOSOON, and while NACTOR and GNG may be borderline, I'd be willing to let this article stand and give it a chance.Dflaw4 (talk) 10:51, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I don't understand the TOOSOON argument; he's got a main cast role in a CBS sitcom that premieres two months from now.

  • Weak Keep I'm a proponent that Wikipedia should remain as consistent as we can reasonably be. This means that if we're close enough that an article on the TV series is allowed, then it's logical to count it for an actor's notability determination. So that's half way there, then its his other performances and the determination of "substantial". Given that there is coverage on him in different roles, I'm going to fall the way of Keep on it.

Within an hour of the article being created false information was presented that included a "terrorist incident" and a comment "reported by eye witnesses to be of "a dark skin colour".

Whoever copy and pasted over the Streatham stabbing's current events template and forgot to remove the part stating "recent terrorist incident" is a bigoted racist and also a neo-nazi and also that perfectly valid comment "reported by eye witnesses to be of "a dark skin colour" [51] is a clear sign that this editor is a white supremacist and was definitely not just quoting news pages that were clearly pointing to islamic terrorism in their articles on the description of the attacker before they were identified!!

      • Yes, I am, Andreas Philopater. This user is trying to spread racist white-supremacist messages across Wikipedia and I WON'T PUT UP WITH IT. I am very concerned that the quote "reported by eye witnesses to be of "a dark skin colour"" [52] was included in the article and I believe that this has no right to be in the article, nor be the entire subject of it which it clearly is. This quote, also used by the racist Belgian media who are all nazis, was also the reason this racist editor believed this stabbing was worthy of an article when it first appeared in the news and not because it was a quadruple stabbing that happened just hours after the Streatham stabbing meaning it could have possibly been orchestrated by the same group, like the nazi propaganda media suggested, and it is clear that this quote wasn't added because racist neo-nazi news articles were suggesting that this was also another islamic extremest attack by adding the quote in the first place to their own articles (I mean god! The only reason they included it was because everybody cares a lot about what skin colour the attacker was!), and so this editor is an absolute bigot who should be jailed because they believed what was in the news article they read – that this attack could have possibly been another islamic extremest attack like the one that had happened hours before, and so without knowing this 100%, added the quote from the article to subtly usher this possibility before anything had been confirmed, before getting outright bored with the topic and leaving it to be deleted.

  • Keep According to a Breitbart article on the day of the attack which also (correctly) noticed that the woman is "dark-skinned", this "story is developing..." but the far-right publication stopped developing it when it didn't suit their taste anymore. Her lawyer now says, according to an update article, that the 26-year-old S.C. is from Haitian origin. An adopted child, she started to develop a dislike for her Belgian adoptive family, tried to commit suicide and landed in an institution. Planning to ask money for a project she wanted to start, she rang the doorbell of her former home in the Oranjeboomstraat, where her brother openend, smiling. From that point on, she is said to have lost all memory. She stabbed him with a knife. Then, she rang at other doors in the Korte Rijakkerstraat. When the neighbour of a friend opened the door, she was stabbed as well. Driving away, she noticed a police car and, irrationally thinking that her life was over, she decided that she wanted to die from a police bullet. She then stabbed passers-by in the Bevrijdingslaan, where the story was picked up by world media: i24News, The National, AFP via New Straits Times, DPA via the Weekend Australian, Times of Malta, Metro UK, ... Her arrest was confirmed by the council chamber on Friday. Is there a policy that says such an incident needs to be labeled as terrorism in order to acquire WP:Notability? Wakari07 (talk) 14:39, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Wakari07 If various newspapers each separately wrote their own articles about the topic, that would contribute to notability, but when it's the same story (usually by a news agency such as AFP in this case) simply being repeated by multiple publications, they all count as just one source. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:26, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Roger, I noted the agencies. There's the full Agence France-Presse article via New Straits Times, the full Deutsche Presse-Agentur article via the Weekend Australian (which cites Belga) and four other articles: i24 News cites no agencies, The National cites HLN and AFP, Metro cites HLN, and Times of Malta cites local media, AFP and HLN. Associated Press also cited the event in their article on the London stabbing as a side note: AP via Stars and Stripes, AP News. All Belgian media have their own reporting too, but that's generally behind a paywall for me and the public info has little which is not given in the publicly available articles of Het Laatste Nieuws.

  • Keep per WP:NEXIST and WP:ARTN. I think it's pretty obvious that the main character of a hugely successful two-decade franchise that spans two TV series and several movies is notable. Here's some sources:
There's lots more, if you want them. -- Toughpigs (talk) 04:30, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to List of Rugrats characters. Take out all the plot summary, and you're left with a simple development fact (whom the character was named after) and a couple one sentence bits of reception. There is no significant coverage. The source dump on the article there and above is not providing any real in-depth source on the character- they mention the character in context of the show but not enough for notability. It is wrong to think "hugely popular show, thus should be a notable character" since notability is not inherited. --Masem (t) 05:57, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to List of Rugrats characters per Masem. Also, the LoC is tagged for so many problems, it's better to cleanup and develop the characters from there, instead of allowing crufty spinoff articles that make the problem even worse. – sgeureka tc 08:25, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It seems every day lately there are a multitude of articles about fictional content being PRODed or nominated for deletion, and I assume a good faith effort is made to search for significant coverage in reliable sources to establish whether a subject passed WP:GNG before such deletions are proposed. In this case, I believe this subject clearly passes this standard, with coverage going far beyond even the sources Toughpigs has idenrified above. Any comments about the quality of the article is a good argument for improving it, not deleting it. — Hunter Kahn 12:03, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Per Masem and others. Dumping sources does not prove WP:SIGCOV meriting its own article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:06, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - The character list should be built up before any consideration for individual articles is made. It's most probable that the character article can hold everything real world about the characters while providing enough fictional context that an article is not needed. TTN (talk) 12:09, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've expanded the article very slightly just to demonstrate that there is more to this character/article than mere plot summary. Please note this is only based on a very few of the sources that cover this character (I didn't even include all the sources Toughpig shared, let alone the multitude of others out there) but I think it already has enough that it warrants a standalone article rather than an disproportionately long list entry. I may try to expand it further in the future, if time permits... — Hunter Kahn 13:33, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • If we use Characters of Carnivàle as the standard of what character articles should aspire to become, then it seem unlikely that the character needs a separate article. That's especially true considering that not many characters will even have a depth of real world info. TTN (talk) 13:46, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Huh, interesting article, I'd actually never seen that one. Though, FA or not, it looks like Ben Hawkins and Brother Justin Crowe can and probably should be made into their own standalone articles, with their specific entries on the list reduced and a template added linking to their main articles. Maybe I'll look into that in the future, but regardless, what another article looks like or doesn't look like doesn't pertain to this discussion, per WP:OTHER. I still think there is signicant enough coverage of Tommy Pickles to pass WP:GNG, and enough content out there that has yet to be added to this article that goes beyond plot summary, and that it should be kept. — Hunter Kahn 14:09, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Hunter Kahn: Spinning out these characters would unfeature Wikipedia:Featured topics/Carnivàle, in which case I'll make sure myself that the spin-out editor either takes them through the WP:GA process or de-spinouts them to re-feature the topic. Featured topics is what all of en.wiki's coverage should strive towards, and should not be destroyed to justify poor articles like Tommy here. – sgeureka tc 14:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Sgeureka: Please don't misunderstand, I'm not going to go over and start hacking up that article, especially not just to make a WP:POINT. And even if I did want to change it, I'd certainly discuss it with the primary author of the FA and start a talk page discussion to establish a WP:CONSENSUS before attempting to make major changes to an FA. In any case, I have no intention of doing any of that right now. :) — Hunter Kahn 14:58, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've just done a fairly significant overhaul of this article (for comparison purposes, here's the article before the AFD, and here's the version after my edits). I've tried to add sourcing for everything that was in the article, while also restructuring it, rewriting it so it's no longer from an in-universe perspective, and scaling back some of the fancruft and excessive plot summary. (Please note there are still some sections that are unsourced, particularly related to All Grown Up!, so additional work can still be done in the future. I got tired and had to go to bed. lol) I'd like to point out that since I was focused primarily on adding reliable sources to information already in the article, not all of these sources speak about Tommy in significant lengths of time; some are more about Rugrats itself but are used to cite specific facts about Tommy. However, many of these articles do provide significant coverage to the character, and I think this expansion goes a long way toward demonstrating that Tommy Pickles clearly meets WP:GNG and the standalone article is warranted and shouldn't be deleted. I'll also hasten to add that the sources I've added are NOT the only sources about Tommy Pickles out there, and others could still be added to improve this article even further down the road... — Hunter Kahn 06:04, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Masem, sgeureka, Zxcvbnm and TTN, since you previously voted Merge/Redirect based on the article pre-expansion, or cited the poor quality of the article, I wanted to ping you to see if your opinion has changed given the state of the article now? — Hunter Kahn 06:06, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Over half the reception section is about the full cast, so that shows a clear lack of individual attention. I’m not sure if a free-floating, ever shifting ranking could ever be used as a reliable source. Other than those, the blurb about the film is a trivial momentary comparison that has no reason being in the article. That’s the most important section, but it’s not in good enough shape to show the character has potential. The rest of the information in the article can easily be split between a character list and the main series article when relevant to overall development. TTN (talk) 11:14, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • Thanks TTN. I know in the past I've said you never seem to change your opinion in deletion debates once you've made up your mind, so I genuinely appreciate you taking a second look. I do feel like you're giving a little undue weight to the Reception section alone, which is one I didn't even really bother expanding much because I figured it would be the easiest for someone else to do in the future. Anyone can dump a bunch of reviews into a Reception section, whereas other non-plot sections like Conception and Portrayal are often harder to do if a character is not notable, so sections like that always struck me as more important than Reception. But in any event, thanks for looking it over, and I would urge you to consider that many of the other sources outside of Reception provide much more significant coverage to the character. — Hunter Kahn 12:38, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think what ultimately really matters here is the reception section, since without WP:SIGCOV the article does not need to be standalone. The first sentence is a listicle, so I wouldn't hold that up as a good source since they can really just look desperately for anything to fill their writing quota. The second is a brief, one sentence mention that does not actually concern the character himself. And so on and so forth. None of them discuss the traits of the character in detail or give critical opinions, only stating basic facts about the character. My opinion definitely stands as merge/redirect.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:43, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • I will try to expand the Reception section in the next few days, since it seems I massively underestimated the importance of it and hadn't really put any work into it. But, even if we were to stipulate that the Reception section is currently lacking, and the Character History section should be ignored altogether when considering notability (which isn't something I agree with in any case), do the other non-Reception sections that discuss this character like Conception and Portrayal not indicate WP:SIGCOV in combination with the article's other elements? I know it's subjective, but just seems sort of surprising to me that you guys still don't think this article subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources. UPDATE: I've expanded the Reception section a bit in response to the commentary here, though I suspect further sources can be found for additional expansions down the road... — Hunter Kahn 19:37, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • According to WP:NEXIST and WP:ARTN as I understand them, notability is not dependent on the current state of the article, or frantic changes made with a ticking time-bomb deadline. WP:NEXIST says:

            Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article.

If there are enough sources in existence that show that Tommy Pickles is a notable subject, then the article should be improved, rather than deleted. Similarly, WP:ARTN says:

Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article... If the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability.

So, Hunter Kahn: I don't believe that you need to knock yourself out trying to rewrite the article to other people's individual specifications right now. There is no deadline. AfD is not an article improvement drive, and if people posting on this page are concerned about the quality of writing on this article, then they should channel that concern into making helpful improvements to the article. For this discussion, the relevant question is: do reliable sources exist that talk about this character directly and in detail? -- Toughpigs (talk) 01:20, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP As I mentioned in the last AFD for this, a major newspaper said at the time: "Tommy Pickles is a bigger star than George Clooney". I look at the reception section and wonder why this is even at AFD again? Reliable sources give significant coverage of him, just look at Tommy_Pickles#Reception and read through that! Dream Focus 19:14, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The nomination just cites an essay and so there's no case to answer. As the previous AfD was a "keep" and the nomination clearly states that this repeat nomination is being made simply in the hope of getting a different result, the nominator should be warned not to repeat this disruption per WP:DELAFD which states "It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hope of getting a different outcome." Andrew🐉(talk) 20:42, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep enough reliable sources are mentioned now. The article has changed a lot since its nomination. Now the Conception, Portrayal and Reception are mentioned. There are enough reliable sources and there is enough information that is not just plot. The article should be kept. --Dynara23 (talk) 06:23, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I think the article now shows that there is enough coverage in reliable, third-party sources to meet the WP:GNG criteria. Aoba47 (talk) 03:30, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect, MAYBE selectively merge The coatrack-y line The Detroit News writer [sic] positively reviewed all the Rugrats baby characters but gave particular praise to Tommy writing: "Ya gotta love 'em, especially leader Tommy Pickles"., sourced to a film review of Rugrats Go Wild, basically sums up everything wrong with this article. The reliably sourced information that relates to this specific topic appears to be almost exclusively in-universe plot content. One could make an OSE argument that Wikipedia has lots of fictional kids' show character articles that are even worse than this one but haven't been deleted/redirected yet, but that would be a weak argument even if any of the above keep !voters were making it.
Looking at the history I see that a lot of the problematic content has apparently been added by said keep !voters since this AFD was opened; their poor conduct and Wikipedia editing standards are not in themselves a reason to disregard their !votes, but they should be weighted accordingly (I don't know what was added by whom, nor do I care to find out, so I won't name names). Moreover, the last two keep !votes by Dynara23 and Aoba47 explicitly cite the addition of this problematic content as reasons to keep this article, so I would encourage any closure to take this fact into account when weighing their comments.
Hijiri 88 (やや) 06:32, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The above is an extremely misleading and inaccurate (not to mention at least mildly insulting statement.) This is the version of the page before the AFD began compared to this, the version at the time that you voted. As anyone could see, the vast majority of additions are not exclusively in-universe plot content. On the contrary, that's what the majority of the previous version of the article was; much of it has been scaled back, and sources have been added to most of what remains. Rather than plot, the majority of the new additions are rather detailed sections about such aspects of the character as its conception, portrayal, and reception, all of which are cited by reliable sources. (Your claim that you "don't care" to find what was added by whom indicates perhaps you haven't reviewed this article's edit history very thoroughly, so perhaps you misunderstood the nature of the additions?) And incidentally, your statement that one "could" make an OSE claim is a straw man argument, because nobody has made that argument. The argument is that this article is cited by reliable sources that indicate significant coverage of the topic, which indicates that it passes WP:GNG. — Hunter Kahn 13:23, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
