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

This disambiguation page has only the primary term (a redirect to Diffeomorphism) plus one other link, to Diffeo (company). The only other possible link I can find is Diffeology, though that seems different enough to me that it is not really ambiguous. Cnilep (talk) 03:12, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I created this disambiguation page and concur that it should be deleted. Cnilep, perhaps this is sufficient to close this discussion and mark it for deletion? jrf (talk) 04:31, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Correction... I was thinking this should be a WP:G14, but I now think this should be *kept*. I've now read the article on diffeology, and found diffeomorphometry and more interestingly found the diffeomorphism anomaly page that redirects to the gravitational anomaly page, which is the context within which I first heard the truncation of diffeomorphism to just "diffeo." These are all quite different things, such that a person speaking in one of these contexts might naturally shorten to "diffeo" without fear of ambiguity in context. I think disambiguation pages are intended for exactly this purpose, so I reverse my opinion -- I think this should be kept. Also, I've updated this page to list these additional meanings. jrf (talk) 05:16, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If the things that Jrf added are called diffeo (as opposed to having that as part of their name), then the page should indeed be kept. I don't know enough about mathematics or physics to determine whether that is the case. In any case, thank you, Jrf, for your additions and your comments here. Cnilep (talk) 23:38, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
(Note that jrf is a co-founder of Diffeo the company, according to his user page, and while I thank him for making it clear there, I think it would have been proper under Wikipedia:Conflict of interest to disclose this explicitly when editing related pages and participating in deletion discussions. But anyway, I don't mean this as a personal attack or to take away from the discussion of the merits.) I agree with Cnilep that, unlike for "diffeomorphism", it's unclear whether sources actually refer to "diffeology" or any of the other items using the standalone term "diffeo". Are there sources to support that? Adumbrativus (talk) 03:59, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, cnilep, thank you for pointing that out. I should have made that more clear in this discussion instead of expecting people to open my user page. I'd like to note that while there is an apparent CoI in my editing pages related to the word "diffeo" (and an apparent CoI is often indistinguishable to an actual CoI), my primary interest here is about language. I think disambiguation pages are one of the coolest parts of Wikipedia, because they address the experience of learning by removing ambiguity---hence my further comment below. jrf (talk) 14:26, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Googling suggests that "diffeo" is an occasionally-used abbreviation for "diffeomorphism" (as here, though not mentioned in the target article), but that probably the company is the primary topic and should be moved to the base title (the hatnote already there on the company page does what's needed). No need for a dab page either way. PamD 14:40, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Noting the CoI discussion above, I'd like to suggest there is a pedagogical reason to consider having the title "Diffeo" point at the disambiguation page itself (bullet points below). I defer to more experienced Wikipedians on best approach. jrf (talk) 14:26, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • The etymology of the word "diffeomorphism" is a combination of three roots: "differentiable" (sufficiently smooth, etc), "homeo" (opposite of hetero), and "morphism" (a transformation), so it means, essentially "a smooth transformation that brings a thing back to itself." With that grounding in hand, it's clear that it is exceedingly general. The concept is useful in extremely diverse technical settings, i.e. research communities whose members might never interact. (While there are examples of diffeomorphisms that are not homeomorphisms, that's a technicality.)
    • It is very natural to clip diffeomorphism or diffeomorphic to just diffeo. From OED, an early, possibly the first use of the word diffeomorphic was also clipped to diffeo: 1953 W. Ambrose & I. M. Singer in Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 75 428 "We use the word ‘diffeo’ for a 1:1 differentiable mapping of one manifold onto another whose inverse is also differentiable and call the manifolds diffemorphic [sic]." Hilarious that they (accidentally) dropped the "o" in diffeomorphic in that sentence, but reinserted it later in that paper.
    • Clipping to diffeo is especially useful when speaking. A lecturer talking about smooth transformations that bring a thing back to itself can side-step the tongue-twister of saying diffeomorphism over and over by replacing it with the word diffeo.
    • This organically produces the need for disambiguation, because a discussion about gravity or sets or computational anatomy or dynamical systems might all use the word "diffeo" with large presumed context. When a novice joins such a conversation, and they encounter this unknown word "diffeo," we (as Wikipedians) hope that they can efficiently discover the full article about that specialized use of the word.
    • Here are examples of online discussions and lecture presentations that truncate to "diffeo." Most of these also spell out the word diffeomorphism, so these are just indicative of what might occur in a verbal discussion: diffeo in lecture about sets, diffeo in discussion about computational anatomy, diffeo in lecture about gravity. Easy to find more by googling for ["diffeo" "gravity"] or ["diffeo" "anatomy"] etc jrf (talk) 14:26, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting exercise in failed photointerpretation going on here, as the topos initially show a siding with a large tank and some other industrial buildings which gets replaced, on the maps at any rate, by a bunch of buildings, many of which are H-shaped. More recent, higher-resolution images reveal them to be stacks of pipe on the grounds of the Westar logistics facility which has taken over the area. I have to presume that "Dow" meant the chemical company, but at any rate the evidence is that this was always a rail/industrial site. Mangoe (talk) 23:59, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, it does not show a "community". First of all, the larger area is an industrial zone, not a town. Second, going back historically, Dow itself starts out as a small area right next to the tracks at the northeast corner of the present developed area; I do not have any clear indication that anyone ever thought of the larger area as "Dow".

The first title from this imprint went on to become a notable series. There's no evidence the imprint is notable, and with neither the TV show nor their founders' articles mentioning it other than in passing as co-founders, there's no obvious redirect.

The nomination is clearly based on GNG also, not just SOLDIER. I do not understand your POINT argument, what are you trying to say? Mztourist (talk) 10:04, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
POINT is the converse of IAR – unproductive activity to prove or score a point. For example, Mztourist recently went through my contributions and twice nominated the Dog & Bull for deletion. They failed and the article recently adorned the main page too. It was read there by thousands of people who had no complaints. See also vexatious litigation.
As for GNG, the subject clearly passes it as it would not have gotten through AfC and DYK otherwise.

Andrew Davidson I am asking you what you are saying is POINT about this AFD? POINTy is you and your friends putting up AFD pages for DYK and then holding that up as a sign that the page shouldn't be deleted despite a lack of SIGCOV in multiple RS. Mztourist (talk) 12:20, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Really? No virtue in that argument.
The two of you have a repeated failure at WP:AFD, flouting WP:Before, and the articles are developed with sources you should have foundwith due diligence. These go on to successful DYK nominations and are on the front page. This state of facts only proves how misguided these AFDs are.
It's not about you. It is about the subject, the sources (including those that are out there, even if not cited) and the article as it develops.
The prosecution rests. 7&6=thirteen () 12:34, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What repeated failure are you referring to? Poorly sourced pages are put up for AFD, debated and a consensus reached or not. Andrew Davidson says that this is a POINTy AFD and I am asking him what is POINTy about it and am yet to receive a credible answer. As far as your "prosecution" goes you haven't proven anything other than that you will Keep any page no matter how weak and irrelevant the sourcing is. Mztourist (talk) 04:15, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
An essay is not even close to policy. It goes policy->guideline->consensus-by-common-usage->essay. Essay is the last/weakest type of consensus. The reason is anyone (or a few people) can create an essay that says whatever. Also, I would like to see that discussion you refer to, most of the time they are not so clearly resolved and/or tend to be dominated by a handful of people. -- GreenC 17:27, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The nom cited SOLDIER and GNG. If they didn't cite SOLDIER someone would doubtless raise it and as the nom notes below it still represents MilHist consensus at least until the discussion: [1] closes. Mztourist (talk) 04:15, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh this is rich. Noms are citing SOLDIER in dozens or hundreds of AfDs while at the same time there is a discussion to deprecate SOLDIER, with most !oting to kill it. -- GreenC 05:51, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So? Both the nom and I acknowledge the discussion regarding SOLDIER, which is why the nom also mentioned GNG. Mztourist (talk) 11:07, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Andrew Davidson and 7&6=thirteen are clearly engaged in a witch hunt to try and point out faults with my arguments on almost every single AFD I've filed in the past month or so. I remind them; WP:SOLDIER is a consensus that was established by the military history wikiproject. It may not be official policy, but it's the closest you can get to it. If it is deleted, I would understand their arguments, but it hasn't been deleted. :::::Lettlerhellocontribs 14:48, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Lettler This is not a "witch hunt." If you insist, then stop being a witch and doing silly AFDs.
You apparently are a slow learner, at least as to what AFD is about. It should not be about establishing your body count. If it hurts when you do this, don't do it anymore.
N.b., I was at this article FIRST. I built it up, and got a DYK. Many years ago. You did not have this account at the time; so as far as I know, you were not even a blip on my radar then.
Stop following me. WP:Stalking. WP:Pot. You caused the problem, and now want to blame me. Chutzpah.

  • Keep, per WP:GNG above, and also per WP:ANYBIO, Rees "received [...] well-known and significant award[s]" that received news coverage, including BBC News, when they were sold at auction. From BBC News: "Such a group of medals, although hard-earned, would normally be regarded as somewhat commonplace, but the facts behind these humble medals make them a very special item," says Welsh antiques dealer Robert Pugh." Beccaynr (talk) 20:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What "well-known and significant award[s]"? he received a set of very ordinary medals that only have any significance because of his WP:1E of being von Richthofen's first kill. Mztourist (talk) 04:19, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
They are "significant" because the BBC says they are ("very special item"). That you disagree with the BBC is a matter of your personal opinion, but objectively we report what sources say, in this case an assertion of notability. -- GreenC 05:51, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably you mean "Welsh antiques dealer Robert Pugh" says they are a "very special item" as reported by the BBC? See the difference? As I said earlier, the awards themselves are not significant, their only significance is the WP:1E association with von Richthofen. Mztourist (talk) 11:10, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I meant "reported by BBC News," which is also in-depth reporting about Rees in December 1999, in addition to helping make his medals "well known," per WP:ANYBIO. Beccaynr (talk) 04:27, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Beccaynr you and GreenC are completely perverting #1 of ANYBIO here. #1 states "a well-known and significant award or honor", i.e. a VC, MoH etc., Rees's awards are stated in the BBC report to be "somewhat commonplace" so they absolutely fail #1. The fact that the medals have acquired some value/collectability because of their association with von Richthofen does not somehow elevate them to satisfying #1. Mztourist (talk) 06:07, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
First off, you may disagree but don't call my position "perverted", are you perverted? Second, I never cited ANYBIO, I said GNG and this is "significant" coverage. Significant because it demonstrates notability asserted by the source in three words ("very special item"). -- GreenC 15:46, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Notability is temporally relative; this airman was always notable for his distinguished career, apart being the Red Baron's first victim and the historical significance of his medals; he is still notable now. Many "notables" of today's Wikipedia will not be remembered in ten years' time, let alone 100+. Tony Holkham (Talk) 17:37, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly right, Rees had no notability at the time of his death and only later became known for the retrospective WP:1E of being von Richthofen's first kill.Mztourist (talk) 06:07, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Missing the point. Does not fail WP:SOLDIER

It is important to note that a person who does not meet the criteria mentioned above is not necessarily non-notable (conversely, a person who meets these criteria is not necessarily notable, if no significant coverage can be found); ultimately, this determination must be made based on the availability of significant coverage in independent, secondary sources.

nor does it fail WP:GNG, so the two reasons for deletion fail.Tony Holkham (Talk) 11:08, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Kofi Amoah is notable in Ghana. Sources are reliable, and most are big news agencies in Ghana. Kofi Amoah was appointed in 2018 by FIFA to be president of the Ghana Football Association Normalization committee when the then President was suspended by FIFA. Selorm18 16:21, 1 March 2021
  • Delete per nom. If the subject is notable mainly due to Amoah being the head of the Normalization Committee of the Ghana Football Association, then this football body would have to be notable in the first place, but it is not apparent to me that it is notable (and it doesn't have it's own article) — Alalch Emis (talk) 19:55, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Per nom, the RS's only mention the subject incidentally (ChicTrib literally in a single sentence), and the Digiday piece (which I don't know whether it's RS or not) is on TikTok, not on the article subject. May be a case of too soon, but as it stands, fails notability. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:29, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion not a Yellow Pages. None of the references meet NCORP requirements for establishing notability. The FT piece mentions this company, in passing, in a much larger piece about employees becoming social media "influencers" for the company they work for. It is neither in-depth nor significant, fails WP:CORPDEPTH. The Chicago Tribune piece is a similar story to the FT piece and is also only a mention-in-passing for this company and fails WP:CORPDEPTH for the same reasons. Finally, yes, the Digiday article is covering the same topic - "employee influencers" - and the information on the company is provided by the marketing manager, fails WP:ORGIND. The article also provides no in-depth nor significant information/analysis/opinion on the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Most other articles I can find are announcements, topic fails NCORP.

  • As I said, I leave it to other people's judgment. Myself,I think notability in sports does or at least ought to require both the GNG and the SNG, and I also disagree that a nominal period of participation at the highest level is sufficient., especially if it's apparently a temporary position. I know others may disagree, as people tend to disagree on everything involving most of the SNGs. In this area, I make no judgments myself, but justpropose discussion. DGG ( talk ) 01:47, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • DGG, that appears to be a clear violation of WP:BEFORE, which instructs that "[p]rior to nominating article(s) for deletion," you should "[s]earch for additional sources, if the main concern is notability." And your view that sports-related notability "ought to require both the GNG and the SNG" is squarely at odds with policy, which states that "A topic is presumed to merit an article if ... It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) ..., or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG)." In any event, it seems clear that Beightol:
  1. Meets the general notability guidelines (significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject)
  2. Meets the subject-specific notability guidelines for college football coaches (served as a full-time head coach for a D-I program)
Equally, the notability guideline for professional football coaches simply "does not apply to assistant coaches or coaching assistants"; that hardly means that someone who has been an assistant professional football coach cannot demonstrate notability by other means, as Beightol clearly has. --02:08, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
