The result was delete. I read Vaticidalprophet's contribution with interest, despite being in the minority on sheer numbers. However, despite the notability guideline backing, I find Missvain's contribution the most persuasive, even in context of VP's submission. No prejudice to recreation if GNG-appropriate sourcing is provided. Daniel (talk) 02:43, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

- WP:BANDMEMBER States that being in a notable band isn't enough to show individual notability. Sources must show that he also has notability outside of the bands he played in and the sources I found all talked about him in relation to the bands. Suonii180 (talk) 09:35, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep as a prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles per WP:MUSICBIO#6. WP:BANDMEMBER refers to non-notable members of individual notable groups. (AfD article quote of the day:
As a tribute, Nargaroth wrote the song "Erik, May You Rape the Angels" for him
.) Vaticidalprophet 05:09, 9 May 2021 (UTC) - Delete: per nom, fails WP:MUSICBIO, no sufficient sources to show notability, WP:BANDMEMBER is only if notable outside the band which he was clearly not CommanderWaterford (talk) 09:52, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete I'm going with CommanderWaterford on this one. I know the bands he was in - but, the sourcing sucks on all the other language Wikipedia's about the subject - even in Norwegian. While the bands he played in are notable, he clearly is not. I can't even find obituaries in Norwegian. And these small fry, metal zines, etc, that I found aren't enough to establish his notability. General notability guidelines override bandmember, music bio, etc. Missvain (talk) 01:24, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

- Delete or possibly Userfy. This is a student assignment, according to the creator's talk page, so I won't go too far into the problems, but in short this article has next to no independent sourcing, and the tone is not encyclopedic. The St. Andrew's United Church might be notable, but someone would have to find independent sourcing for it. Getwilson13 your teacher should grade you the same whether or not your article is in published article space. It's hard to get articles published here; even seasoned Wikipedia editors sometimes have trouble getting their articles published.--- Possibly (talk) 22:58, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

- Comment GNG-qualifying sources about the development exist. This is a National Post article, and this story was picked up nationally in Canada, and there's a Globe and Mail source in the article too. It's probably notable enough, but the article needs major cleanup. SportingFlyer T·C 20:50, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

- Draftify to allow chance for improvement. It's true that the sourcing here isn't adequate, but it's also true that better sources do exist as pointed out by SportingFlyer — and as a former resident of Sudbury, I can attest that there is more significance than the article is actually demonstrating as written: it was one of the first key projects in the city's 1960s urban renewal plan to deuglify its downtown core, designed and planned and built with the idea of rethinking the entire concept of what a church could be, as it incorporates mixed-use retail and housing and community space into a church. That's a model you still don't see a lot of, even today — even in the age of the megachurch, there are still very few other churches in North America offering and operating on-site rental housing, making St. Andrews Place relatively unique. The article could do a better job of communicating and sourcing that fact than it currently is, so creator should certainly be given a chance to improve it. Bearcat (talk) 14:45, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Phenomenon that has no claim to notability. Does not satisfy WP:GNG. — Goszei (talk) 22:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
Speedy deleteDelete per nom. Article has no references nor categories, and is a stub. GinawaSaHapon (talk) 23:57, 25 April 2021 (UTC)- That is not one of the Project:Criteria for speedy deletion. Uncle G (talk) 23:58, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, my bad. GinawaSaHapon (talk) 00:02, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- I did wonder whether I should have pointed out also that Project:deletion policy does not support deleting stubs simply because they are uncategorized. Please find a policy-based rationale that the closing administrator can hang xyr hat from. Uncle G (talk) 00:11, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- As a compromise solution, I can categorize the article and gradually expand it with more sources. Egyptian jew (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 06:27, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- More sources? It currently has none. If you can find sources to satisfy WP:GNG, that's precisely what's needed here, and what's lacking. Cats etc. are nice-to-haves, once (if) notability has been established. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:26, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

- Delete Made me chuckle, so thanks to the creator for that. Love the optimistic "The phrase has yet to appear in the OED" at the end; also the initial caps in the title: it's not just sink salad, but Sink Salad! :) On a more serious note, delete as non-notable neologism, possibly joke/hoax. (BTW, there is something called 'kitchen sink salad', which this might be a riff of, and which also makes finding any sources - assuming any exist, which I doubt - tricky.) --DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:52, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

- Delete: per nom, obvious fail of WP:GNG CommanderWaterford (talk) 12:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: I have added categories and am working on the references. Note that there is no Wikipedia page for gunt even though a Google images search pulls up 3.7 million results. I would point out that by contrast, the Sink Salad article is at least acceptable to a family audience. It is somewhat out of touch with the times to insist on absolutely zero articles that deal with informal subject matter that is too crude for Harvard academics and college-educated journalists to engage with. Some of these issues are very real concepts for billions of working people, many of whom may not necessarily come from the same demographic as your average editor who is working on the Wikipedia project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Egyptian jew (talk • contribs) 14:06, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- So you are saying that the decision from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gunt applies here, because this is an unsourced folk-written slang dictionary entry, too. Uncle G (talk) 06:40, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

- Delete per DoubleGrazing. EpicPupper 21:36, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - I've heard this term used abundantly. On a related note, "Kitchen Sink Salad" is used also as an actual recipe. A quick google shows a plethora of yummy recipes you can try out - albeit that the names derives from the expression "everything but the kitchen sink" in reference to the vast range of salad contents, rather than the horrible gunk you get in your sink drain!

- Delete Search results get swamped with all kinds of recipes for "kitchen sink salads" (i.e. All The Ingredients salads), but even after I went to some effort to exclude everything, one by one, that could throw up false positives (it's an interesting search term :p) there are only the faintest indications of use - a few photo captions, basically.

The only non-Drag Race content is: A) a cited self-description ("I’m a showgirl. I love to dance. I love to entertain. I have a little sex appeal...") which is hardly encyclopaedic.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. All I see in sources - including cited ones like the The Wonderful World of Disney Television: A Complete History - are mentions in passing, generally in plot summaries of more notable shorts and like; I couldn't even find a single sentence, not to mention a paragraph about him anywhere. Even the modern clickbait sites like CBR don't have much: press-release like [6] and tiny WP:INTERVIEW [7]. The best I found is this which compares him to Thanos, but I don't think that's enough. Let's discuss - maybe someone can dig up something else, but please, let's avoid plot summaries and illustrated children books this time.

- Argento Surfer, Right. I was a bit surprised we don't have an article on the Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot. That particular story/comic strip may be notable (I am not 100% sure but it does appear to have some coverage out there). If this article were to be created, it would make for an even better redirect. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:18, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect per Argento Surfer and nominator. I did find this io9 source that ranked him in a list of best genre villain roles in 2017 or something, but other only coverage is mentions in coverage primarily about series and shorts.

- CBR is considered generally reliable for comic information (not that I would agree with assessment if we re-evaluated consensus today). Argento Surfer (talk) 20:50, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Argento Surfer, I brought CBR a while ago at RSN, and their lists, at the very least, are considered low quality, see here. As for their more general articles, I'd call them reliable, but many of them have very little non-plot summary - they do vary, however, I've seen some that are quite solid, and some that are pure clickbait that might as well be script generated. I did actually find and link that particular CBR article in my op, and I do think it is the best coverage we have - and it is just not enough, all it has outside plot summary is a few sentences about said comparison. That said, this source is a 'good start' - but if this is all, then we don't have enough to save this. As for the other source, even before looking at the publisher (blog?), it is about the Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot strip which as I mentioned above may be notable on its own - but we should not conflate the two entities (the character and the strip where said character debuted and which includes a mention of the character in the name). "Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot" =/= "Phantom Blot". Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:26, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- If we had a formal discussion on it, I think the case of CBR would be too nuanced to form a clear consensus. The quality since their sale has fallen dramatically, but some columns (like Brian Cronin's stuff) is still solid. Other stuff is accurate but sometimes it's borderline indiscriminate in their effort to hit their "5 times (and 5 times not)" quota. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:27, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. The article can either be expanded with further sources, or it can be reworked and renamed/moved into Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot as suggested by other editors. Either way, both outcomes are in the spirit of WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. There is no established consensus that CBR is unreliable (or reliable). There is however, consensus that its sister site, Screen Rant which operates in a very similar manner or format as CBR following its acquisition by the same parent company in 2016, is "marginally reliable" following a RfC which received substantial participation. In other words Screen Rant (which is more film/TV/video game focused) is reliable enough for entertainment-related topics such as fictional characters, but inappropriate for use in BLP articles, and I imagine a consensus for CBR (which is more comics focused) would be the same in the event that it is also subjected to a RfC. Haleth (talk) 12:34, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Haleth, The idea of rewriting this into Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot (under the assumption that comic is notable, which is possible but has not been proven yet here) would make some sense - if there was any usable content in the article. But it's 99.9% plot summary fancruft, and Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot is mentioned in a single sentence. There is nothing to rescue here, I am afraid. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:48, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect - Topic of the character lacks sources necessary to meet WP:GNG. If the comic itself is actually notable, the content in the article on the comic does not amount to much, so I don't think it'd be proper to simply rework the topic as it stands. It's basically a TNT case with maybe justification for a light merge of a paragraph should anyone find sufficient sourcing for the comic to meet GNG. TTN (talk) 18:42, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep Apart from what's said above, notice that there are articles about the character in 18 other language Wikipedias including major languages like French and Italian. These appear to be substantial and have sources in those languages too. As the character goes back over 70 years and Disney has been a big deal in many countries, there is clearly international notability. It would be absurd to delete the character in its mother tongue. Our policies such as WP:NOTPAPER and WP:PRESERVE apply. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:55, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
Weak keepUndecidedper Andrew Davidson. I've looked for sources and maybe found some, but Google won't let me see enough of it to determine how deep they are: Comics through Time: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas (2014), The Comic-book Book (1974), The Slings & Arrows Comic Guide (2003), Dizionoir del fumetto (2008), The TOON Treasury of Classic Children's Comics (2009) and Riverside Quarterly, Volume 5, Issue 2 - Volume 6, Issue 2 (1971). Also (minor I guess) mentions in reviews of Epic Mickey from Eurogamer Benelux and Inside Gamer. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 10:35, 30 April 2021 (UTC)- Alexis Jazz, If you cannot look inside, then we are dealing with nothing but WP:GOOGLEHITS I am afraid. In fact, I can see page 407 of your first source, and it is clearly a mention in passing, and crucually, not of the character, but of the comic strip they appear in "...the first substantive fulllength Mickey-themed comic book, 1941's Mickey Mouse vs. the Phantom Blot from George Delacorte's... ...". This also reminds us that GOOGLEHITS is particularly bad in cases where the subject's name is also a part of something else (in this case, the strip). Most if not all of your google-hits finds are likely relevant to the topic of the comic strip - which is not what we are discussing here.

- Alexis Jazz, I never said the books don't exist. What I said is that there is no evidence the sources cited contain WP:SIGCOV and we cannot assume this is the case. Per WP:BURDEN, you have to find clear evidence of such coverage. In either case I was able to access page 408 and it does not seem to discuss the character (or the comic strip) at all: [8]. I don't see what would make you think that the next page would do so, particularly given that while the comic strip may be notable, there is nothing here to suggest the source discussed the character. Please avoid confusing those two entities, and note that this AfD is not about the comic strip (which does not have the article yet but as I noted myself may be notable), but the fictional character (which does and is not).

- Redirect to Mickey Mouse (comic strip)#1930s. I can certainly see the potential of an article on the actual comic of Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot, but as mentioned above, there is really not much useful in this article currently that could be used in such a rework. While the current article looks like it has a number of references, most of them do not appear to be from reliable sources. Redirecting to the correct section of the article on the Mickey Mouse comics would currently be the most appropriate target, and if an article on the Mickey Mouse Outwits the Phantom Blot comic itself is developed, the redirect can be changed accordingly.

- Keep: the article needs to be improved with the addition of more sources, but the character has been discussed in many places, as he is Mickey's second most famous enemy beside Pete. Ever since he was introduced in 1939 the character has appeared in 845 stories, including famous ones, and new stories about him are produced every year. In some countries with a strong tradition of Disney comics he has long been part of popular culture: for example, in this scene from one of the highest-grossing movies in Italy, a character casually addresses another character who is a thief by saying "Senti, Macchia Nera" ("Listen, Phantom Blot"). Anyway, in case he is going to be redirected it would be better to redirect him to Mickey Mouse universe#The Phantom Blot rather than Mickey Mouse (comic strip), since only 4 stories out of 845 are part of said strip. --Newblackwhite (talk) 08:49, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- Lists of media appearances without reliable sources to provide necessary context are worthless in establishing notability. It doesn't matter if the character has appeared in ten thousand pieces of media. If for some reason nobody has critically talked about the character itself, it simply isn't notable by Wikipedia's standards. There are plenty of other places on the internet to catalogue such information. TTN (talk) 09:44, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- I know that, I only mentioned that number to give a little context, but the main reason I think the character deserves an article is that he has been discussed in many sources. When I have more free time I plan to locate these sources and improve the article, assuming it won't have been deleted by then. --Newblackwhite (talk) 19:31, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- Newblackwhite, "he has been discussed in many sources"? Which sources? Could you link them?

- Comment In response to the request for a further analysis of sources. The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations is WP:NCORP and applies a stricter interpretation of requirements than for other topics and GNG. In short, WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. My analysis of the available references (only 3 of the 4 are available):
- This from Young Journalist Club reports to say that Hojjaloleslam Seyed Ibrahim Raisi visited the bookstore in an unofficial visit on the eve of Book Week and spoke with the booksellers. It reports that the store manager explained and answered questions. The article provides no information on the company itself and fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- This from jjo.ir reports on the opening ceremony of an entirely different bookstore and contains quotes from the owner of this company. There is no in-depth information on this company, failing CORPDEPTH, and the small bits of information that have been provided are sourced to the CEO, failing WP:ORGIND
- This from Javanonline.ir is a news story about the bookstore where it had been announced the previous week that the store was to close but that the problems were resolved and it was not going to close. It contains a quote from the store manager. It contains almost no information about the company, failing WP:CORPDEPTH and whatever information is available is sourced from the manager, failing WP:ORGIND.
- I cannot locate any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. "Coverage" by media and "mentions" are not criteria for keeping. HighKing++ 17:30, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Weak delete. The coverage is week, but is there. I'd generally vote delete but maybe we should consider WP:SYSTEMICBIAS. That said, this is just a single bookstore that seems to have gotten a piece about being opened and maybe being closed in local media... rather on the wrong side of GNG I am afraid. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:37, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment The article says "It is known as one of the most successful models of bookselling in Iran" with 4 references all in Persian script. The analysis above says that 2 references were not independent and one was not possible to open. That leaves us with one reference left, which is not enough to convince me that this is "one of the most successful models of bookselling in Iran". The bookstore was only founded in 2012, and according to User:Piotrus it may even be closed? Dr. Universe (talk) 05:45, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
- Dr. Universe, One of the refs I translated talked about the store facing the possibility of being closed due to bad business, although it was not closed at that time. Anyway, amusing contradiction - model bookshop with being closed due to low sales... of course, bookstores all around the world are hardly in a Golden Age era, but yeah, this one doesn't seem particularly notable, SYSTEMICBIAS aside.

- Delete - not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH. Onel5969 TT me 03:11, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Not every business in the world needs an article, and there's no evidence of notability considering most of the references that exist are merely routine reporting. The "successful models of bookselling" thing isn't reliable, as according to the same article the bookshop is owned by the state-owned media monopoly, so of course the Young Journalists Club (which is also owned by the same state-owned media monopoly) would want to promote it and keep it profitable.

- Delete. So let's analyze... The first reference, which is Glamour Girl Blog (I'll talk about the source presently) says
FilFan.com is the leading entertainment website in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region and Egypt. Launched in 2004, the Arabic language entertainment news portal offers in-depth coverage of movie and television news along with more than 100 events a year including: music festivals, movie premieres, and exclusive interviews with the most popular superstars in the MENA region. The site is among the most creditable outlets in Egypt bringing in 1.5 million unique monthly visitors and 6-8 million page views a month. So who is behind the booming media outlet? 23-year-old Mohamed Omar, the youngest Editor-in-Chief in Egypt...
Which if true makes him look pretty notable. And then, it goes on to describe and interview him, which is a good start toward having a meaty article. But I don't think it's a OK source... It's a one-person blog by an Amber Dover, who doesn't have an article here or much internet presence. She says she has a Master's in Media Studies from the New School, but so what. On the other hand, it's a good blog with a professional look. She's not a rando PJ Girl I guess. But then she says there was an article about her published by NPR, but I can't find any evidence of that, so... There's no fact checking and I just can't trust her to not be taking the " 1.5 million unique monthly visitors and 6-8 million page views a month" from Mohamed Omar himself and not checking. So I'd reject that source.
- Perhaps the source changed, but I don't think she said anything about NPR. Hobit (talk) 13:01, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
So then we have HuffPost. Good meaty article. Howeverrrr.... It's by a "contributor". A contributor is any random person who sends an article to HuffPost that they like. They do get paid (high two figures is my guess), but they're not professional writers and I doubt their stuff gets fact-checked, at least with any rigor. So, at best "better source needed" if not rejected outright.
So, but I mean, that's two sources saying he is/was the managing editor of FilFan.com, and at least one other says so too, so that gives me growing confidence that that part, at least is true.
But does that mean much? FilFan looks to be a legit website... This web analysis site (whoever they are) says it is #1 website in Egypt for "Social Sciences" (I guess that includes entertainment news/gossip), which is good, but only #119 for Egyptian websites overall. Is that low? It sounds low to me. #21,784 worldwide. Do we want to have articles where the main notability was being Managing Editor at the world's #21,784 website? Since that's a lot more than one person over time, we're talking 100,000 articles... oof.
Source #3 is a press release, and I can't read #4 but it ref's a minor fact.
Let's see... he was a speaker at Applied Research Institute–Jerusalem seminar... that source says he was managing editor of FilFan, past tense. Anyway, that's nothing, and I'm not finding lots of good sources... the top refs are just bare listings, address and so on... His other jobs are not notable. It's just not enough. Delete.

- Delete as the subject of this article does not meet the criteria listed at WP:AUTHOR, which is the applicable notability guideline for editors, journalists, and other creative professionals, such as this person (a digital media personality). Furthermore, per Wikipedia:HuffPo on the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources page, "editors show consensus for treating HuffPost contributor articles as self-published sources." So, the HuffPost article cited in the WP article in question is not considered a reliable source. - tucoxn\talk 03:35, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

- Comment. Online sources are hard to find, since this school closed in 1991. However, a GNews search has a few non-trivial hits with the Charleston Gazette. A cursory Google Books search shows two obvious hits. There may be enough to satisfy GNG, as is the case for most established U.S. high schools. Failing notability for a stand-alone article, the school has two obvious merge possibilities, it successor South Charleston High School and its school district Kanawha County Schools. • Gene93k (talk) 08:55, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete From what I can tell from the article itself and a WP:BEFORE there just isn't the in-depth, independent sourcing available for the school to be notable. The two Charleston Gazette articles mentioned by the person above are obituaries of people who went to high school there. Which clearly aren't non-trivial as claimed. Same goes for the supposedly non-trivial book sources. Which are nothing but name drops and a brief mention of how many stories the school has and that the building is made out of bricks. I'd love to know how what building material the school is made out of isn't trivial. I don't think merging it to somewhere else is a good idea either, because there's no point in merging un(or badly)-referenced material. Otherwise, it just down grades the quality of the merge target. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:14, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep It's very difficult for a high school in the US not to garner sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:GNG and thus pass WP:NSCHOOL.

- It doesn’t matter whether the coverage is local or not, GNG makes no such stipulation.

- WP:AUD does and that's we use for the notability of organizations. Not to mention, WP:SNG says "articles which pass an SNG or the GNG may still be deleted or merged into another article." So it's not a hardline rule that something is automatically kept if it passes [WP:GNG]] in every single case anyway. Also, if you didn't find sufficient coverage yourself how do you know it exists then? You shouldn't make assertions about things that you haven't verified yourself to be accurate representations of the facts. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:56, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

ICarly and ICarly (2021 TV series) are not separate series, so we do not need an article for this. Bradford (Talk) 14:32, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Television-related deletion discussions. Bradford (Talk) 14:32, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - The show is suppose to be different from the original series. It was described in every sources, "it won't focus on the title character doing a webshow but her life in the 20s." kpgamingz (rant me) 15:25, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- A revival is like: The Mafia Dolls, and El man es Germán. The fact that now the plot focuses on something else, does not mean that they will be different series. Bradford (Talk) 15:49, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- A silly argument: it's absolutely a different series – it doesn't even have the same cast. Bottom line: Not every "revival" should be treated as a continuation of the original series (in fact, I'd argue that none of them should as they all have massive true "production breaks" in between). But, regardless, this is not a direct continuation of the original series, which is good because it side-steps the incredibly contentious issue as to whether this would be "season 6", "season 7" or "season 8" of the original – and, luckily, no WP:RS describe it as such anyway. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:10, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- A revival is like: The Mafia Dolls, and El man es Germán. The fact that now the plot focuses on something else, does not mean that they will be different series. Bradford (Talk) 15:49, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - The original series was completed 8 years ago. Other than the name and some of the cast this is a new and different series with different premise and different story to tell. It is cleaner to just keep the original article showing a completed original series and this one is a spin-off. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:25, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Cast changes, different premise and format, different transmission format, and it would undoubtedly bloat the original series article. It's appropriate to keep them both separate as-is for now; if they pretty much share stuff, then we can determine a merger down the line. Nate • (chatter) 17:00, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I can't really tell if this is a new season or a new series. The article for IGoodbye, the series finale for ICarly, claims that this is a new season. There seems to be conflicting messages from sources which seem to be referring to this as both, while others just use the term "revival". I think we oughtta get a consensus on this.--🌀Locomotive207-talk🌀 (Formerly Kieran207) 00:14, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment This isn't a pressing issue to determine today. We can easily wait to see a few episodes before it can be decided to be a reboot or a restart. The Wikipedia servers won't break down because we have two different iCarly articles in the meantime. Nate • (chatter) 04:57, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, and with no deletion rationale given, I considered prefixing 'speedy'. There is no indication for deletion here. At worst, there may be one for merging, which is conducted in a different forum -- and there doesn't even seem to be that. Vaticidalprophet 05:17, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - seems substantially different enough to warrant its own article from what we know, and most reboots I've seen of this nature are formatted similarly, with seperate pages (eg. Animaniacs) AxoIotI (talk) 07:01, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Keep The series is covered by many reliable sources, so it definitely doesn't belong at AfD, either keep or merge(with the older TV series under the same name). I would go with keep for now, and then go for consensus whether to merge or not. QuantumRealm (meow • pawtrack) 08:50, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

- Keep - The subject of the article concerns a major fraud perpetrated against India's largest bank. The fraud perpetrated by Rajkissore Dutt is in the same order of magnitude as the Nagarwala case, both in terms of amount and impact on the bank. Secondly, if the Nagarwala case is notable enough to merit its own article, then the Rajkissore Dutt case also deserves its own article on Wikipedia, because both involve the same bank and both are frauds of huge amounts.
Thirdly, the references cited are obviously published, reliable and secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Both The Hindu and The Times of India are major Indian newspapers in the English language.[1][2]
Fourthly, the references are not just passing mentions. This reference cites a book published in 1904, which dedicates a separate chapter to the story of Rajkissore Dutt. The book is now archived on the Internet Archive.[3][4] This reference cites a book published in 1881, which dedicates a separate paragraph to the case of Rajkissore Dutt and is now archived on Project Gutenberg.[5]

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (websites) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. PRODed 10 years ago by User:Noq, for the same reason, deprodded by creator, little improvement since: [15], website died few years back and is not likely to become more notable. All it has going for it is that it was cited by a few media sources a few times during it's short lifespan. Far cry from what is required to be notable, I am afraid.

- Delete per nom. Of the refs provided, ref 3 is derived from ref 2 - Refs 1 and 2 are both from around launch and likely derived from a press release. ref 4 is the sites own about page. noq (talk) 10:34, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete It's tragic that so much apparent effort was put into the wiki, and then it died. Other than some brief mentions in some books that don't add significant coverage, I found no other sources than those already mentioned. Hence this fails notability thresholds. Without a good redirect target, delete seems the only alternative. --

- Comment, curious that, although some books in this series are well represented in libraries worldwide (over 1600 libraries, over 1000 libraries, and over 800 libraries), and two have been bestsellers (as referenced in the article) there is a dearth of reviews ie. only the one referenced in the article and a couple of miniscule Library Journal mentions here, and here, also found a Entertainment Weekly review of the 1st book here, but not enough.

This came to my attention as an IP from the Yukon added him to the List of Canadian Artists. As I looked at the edit history, it became clear this is a likely autobio.
I then looked at notability and found that he is in the permanent collection of the Yukon Arts Centre. So far so good. However, the next sources found were about a dispute he had with the Yukon Arts Centre, leading to him being convicted twice for making threats against the centre.
The only real claim to notability here stems from the permanent collection and the subsequent threats and court case. This makes it look like quite a negative page. Since we are not here to bring down the reputation of individuals we write about, I propose deletion. --- Possibly (talk) 02:05, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

- Keep I have read news about Muntazir Ahmad. I am busy in a my job for now. next weekend I will do more research and if I found more reliable resources, I will add in this article.
I have watched the show India's Citizen Squad on discovery channel and also on discovery app [18] . I loved the show and the performance of Muntazir, Pallavi and Sonu. I searched google for their names and got some news for Muntazir so I thought he should be included on Wikipedia as he is the first person for his state(Jammu and Kashmir, India) to be selected for a reality show on Discovery Channel.
I am new to Wikipedia so I request you to suggest me what to do next.
If you think this article should be deleted please proceed.
My personal opinion is to include him on Wikipedia rest is on the community. Ermunu (talk) 13:06, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
