- Keep per WP:BASIC - she is cited in the news as an expert by multiple independent and reliable sources, including with in-depth coverage beyond her employment, e.g. UW Health says Midwest is in critical need of convalescent plasma (WKOW, January 2021, biographical information, expert opinion), 'I wasn’t sure there wasn’t any hope in sight': Milwaukee hospital workers reflect on one year since COVID-19 pandemic began (NBC4, March 2021, biographical information, expert opinion), Dane County leads state in COVID-19 vaccination, but racial disparities persist (Wisconsin State Journal, May 2021, also includes biographical, career information), Racial disparities heightened with COVID-19 crisis (Capital Times, May 2020, multiple paragraphs highlighting her experience and expert opinion), 'Black resilience' theme of this year's Juneteenth celebration (Wisconsin State Journal, June 2021, biographical and career information, parade marshal, expert opinion), Black women are five times as likely to die in childbirth. Here’s what that looks like in northeast Wisconsin. (Green Bay Gazette, July 15, 2021, several paragraphs), Wisconsin's New Epidemiologist Wants To Be A 'Listening Ear' For Statewide Community (NPR Wisconsin, May 2021, interview, "As Wisconsin's newly-named chief medical officer and state epidemiologist, Dr. Jasmine Zapata said she will use her experience as a physician [...]"), With Wisconsin Disparities in Mind, Researchers and Advocates Reimagine Health Care for Black Mothers (PBS Wisconsin, April, 2021, includes biographical and career information, e.g. "assistant professor and researcher at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health"), so there appears to be sufficient sourcing to support an article. Beccaynr (talk) 21:40, 23 September 2021 (UTC) There is also this academic work (co-authored) and a recent appearance on PBS News Hour (August 2021) as an expert, as well as this: Empty Cradles: Is stress to blame for preterm births? (Journal Sentinel, originally published August 2011, republished August 2021, biographical, education, significant coverage). Beccaynr (talk) 22:03, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- I agree with pburka. The onus is not on an AfD voter to add those sources to the article. Many if not all of those sources could have been identified in a WP:BEFORE by the nominator. TJMSmith (talk) 18:15, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- I also agree with pburka, but had interpreted the request as specifically directed at me, and maybe informed by my general history at AfD, and/or maybe what I have posted in the Selected Work section of my userpage, or my self-identification as one of the editors known for behaving like dogs spotting squirrels. I also sometimes accept requests to help expand articles at my Talk page, and with the above feedback in mind, that seems like a better forum for future requests. I do review AfD to find articles to improve, and I apologize for how my enthusiasm for a wide-open field of squirrel contravened the general process. Beccaynr (talk) 02:05, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment per WP:HEY, I have not yet added all of the sources I found above, but in the course of my expansion of the article, I found and added more sources that further support WP:BASIC notability, including e.g. Madison pediatrician Jasmine Zapata kicks off Midwest 'Girls Empowerment Tour' (The Capital Times, 2018), Madison pediatrician, Hip Hop architect, UW professor team up for Kenyan girls fleeing abuse (The Capital Times, 2018). And from my view, her honor as a parade marshal in a Juneteenth celebration is worthy of mention, particularly in the context of the rest of the article and the themes of her career.

- Comment. This list of cemeteries suggests that Murrays Crossroads was once a community. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:16, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Eastmain, I think we should be cautious about using Findagrave for this sort of thing. Aside from being unreliable as a user-generated source (see WP:RSP), three of the cemeteries in the list are some distance from the crossroads [1][2][3]; one does not show a specific location but appears to be a family burial plot [4]; and the only one at the crossroads is just a single grave [5]. I'm not sure how they came up with their location categorization but many similar sites use an algorithm to identify the closest named point on the map without any vetting to make sure it's actually a community. Even if we take Findagrave at face value, keep in mind that cemeteries are often found in areas with dispersed populations and don't necessarily indicate the presence of a community. –dlthewave ☎ 21:32, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Merge (or delete) with Schley County, Georgia#Communities. Take the relevant into and have a short write up there describing the cross roads. I don't think it's notable enough for its own article yet I think it deserves mention in the county. Masterhatch (talk) 19:21, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - Historical topos show an intersection with a few buildings. I'm not finding any coverage indicating that this was a community, so I'll chalk it up as a named intersection that GNIS mislabeled as a "populated place". I also Oppose Redirecting without substantial sourcing. –dlthewave ☎ 19:53, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. I was expecting to be in favor of deletion, but there are in fact sources referring to this as an inhabited place. One in 1893 refers to it as a "prosperous country settlement", and another in 1959 refers to it as a "town". It is also referred to as having been a settled area (with its own post office) in this NRHP document. I have incorporated this information into the article; I think this should address the concerns that have been brought up. * jp×g 18:12, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - GNIS describes it as a locale and there's no evidence that this was ever anything more than a country store. The article history is quite revealing and is an excellent example of how Wikipedia manufactures unincorporated communities out of whole cloth. The original version [6], though unsourced and written by an inexperienced editor, sounds plausible: "... not an actual town, but actually just a local landmark that citizens use for navigation purposes. Due to its navigation uses, it is often referred to in map and atlas listings." But then someone who'd been around long enough to know better inexplicably rewrote [7] the whole thing as an unincorporated community, still with no sourcing whatsoever! This type of behavior creates a huge workload at AfD and was never acceptable, even in the early days when expectations were much lower. –dlthewave ☎ 04:54, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- Redirect to Gilmer County, Georgia, since it seems fairly borderline; people are familiar with Jot 'em Down's Seed and Feed (formerly Chuck's, perhaps). Newspaper sources confirm this, with a 2014 story mentioning that there's one in Forsyth County, and that "a Jot Em Down Store was so popular in Pierce County that the unincorporated community was named "Jot Em Down", according to "Georgia Place-Names"." Doesn't seem like it warrants an article in its own right, but it could be useful as a navigational aid. jp×g 17:44, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

There is no coverage apart from that and because musicbio, cng are so degraded in terms of what is acceptable now, it is unlikey that the article would have been deleted. It is unfortunate we are becoming a listing service, a directory for crap. 10 year ago it would have needed some reviews of the work and some history of excellece over a sustained period. Now, because they are mentioned in a few place, they are not notable. She is not notable, but the article can't be deleted. Wikipedia is becoming a version of Everything 2. The founders knew this would happen and were aware of this effect over the long term. scope_creepTalk 20:58, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- The article when nominated for deletion presented Ponthier as if her only claim to notability was based on her work with Lord Huron, essentially a variation of the classic WP:NOTBYRELATION issue that from my view, could reasonably support an AfD discussion. I am working on expanding the article, and it appears she has a body of work that has been independently reported on, along with biographical information that supports a standalone article.

- Delete. Newspaper sources are badly confounded by the presence of a Goose Island in Chicago; even when restricting the search to sources from Georgia, this is still the vast bulk of results. There are 160 of them, from Fulton, Muscogee, Bibb and Troup County (none from Gilmer County, where the alleged island is located). There is a Goose Island near Kansas City, a Goose Island near the Atlantic coast in North Carolina, a Goose Island in Illinois, et cetera. Nothing referred to by that name in Georgia. So what about the island itself? Per USGS maps, from 1888 to 1911 there wasn't even a lake at those coordinates. In 1935 they don't seem to have finished drawing the quadrangle (this is quite bizarre and I've never seen it before). At any rate, in 1946 there is a "Goose Island" labelled on the map, but it sure as heck isn't an island (as, still, there is no lake indicated). By 1988, the lake has finally decided to show up; there are indeed a couple of very small islands on the northern end, but they are nowhere near the "Goose Island" label; they seem to be gone by 2011 regardless. What I'm taking away from all this is that Goose Island was the name of something or other (since the lake is named Goose Island Lake), but it wasn't a populated community, and it wasn't an island. jp×g 17:56, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - Older topos show a rail siding with several buildings and there are a few newspaper mentions of trains leaving from there, timetables, etc. I did find a couple mentions of people being from/of there, but this just means it was used as a landmark and doesn't necessarily indicate a community. This looks to be a former train station at best and in any case there's nowhere near enough significant coverage to meet WP:GEOLAND/WP:GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 23:41, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Macon County, Georgia. In 1885 it was the name of a train stop; in 1889 melons were being loaded onto trains there, and in 1893 some people lived in "the immediate vicinity of Barron's Lane". In 1924 there was another railroad track there; In 1942 people remembered the good old days packing peaches there. While it wasn't a populated place, it was certainly a thing that existed (unlike many of the "geostubs" that warp and weft through AfD). jp×g 17:24, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Carter exhibited in down an alligator which he killed while it was asleep on a log at Barrett's mill pond with a blow from a rail, on Tuesday. The gator was eight feet long, and had an ugly look about him". In 1886, "a negro at Binns & Barrett's mill had his finger cut off last Tuesday by the saw". In 1891, "the dam out at Barrett's mill, on Walnut branch, near Waynesboro, is gone". Later we find two mentions of a bridge over Barretts Mill creek. I do not see evidence of a populated place, only that unfortunate accidents were visited upon a man, an alligator, and a dam on three Tuesdays in the late 1800s. jp×g 17:17, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - There's a decent amount of coverage for Altamaha Park, which seems to consist of a mobile home park with a public boat launch and campground, but I couldn't find any results whatsoever for Altamaha Place. Nothing on the map, no archived news articles, not even the typical autogenerated stuff. –dlthewave ☎ 23:28, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- One more thing: Altamaha Park and Altamaha Place have the same GNIS ID, which would indicate either some sort of error or an alternate name for the same place. –dlthewave ☎ 23:30, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. As dlthewave mentions, the GNIS entry referenced by the article is for "Altamaha Park", not "Altamaha Place". There are no newspaper mentions of "Altamaha Place", ever; it seems like this was a typographic error in the creation of the article. When you search "Altamaha Park", there are several results, but they seem to be referring to a place in Toombs County (like this 1969 mention). It also mentions here that it's a recreation area on the Altamaha River, so I think it's possible that there are lots of different parks along the same river being referred to by this name. There does exist a website for the Altamaha Regional Park, which mentions 56 campsites; this park has five newspaper mentions. At any rate, however, that's for Altahama Regional Park; "Altamaha Place" seems to simply not exist. jp×g 17:09, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Not a real place. Google only produces Wikipedia mirrors and generic things that pulls from GNIS. Coordinates lead to a place near a highway with a few houses.

- Delete This appears to be a mill mislabeled as a populated place. The 1960 topo shows a building in/on the river as one would expect of a mill, and it also appears in two real estate listings from the 1980s [8][9]. None of this comes close to meeting the Significant Coverage requirements of WP:GEOLAND/WP:GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 23:04, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Haralson County, Georgia. Newspaper results show that an "Abernathy Mill" does exist historically, but even going back to
the dawn of recorded historythe 1800s, all I can find is stuff along the lines of "Abernathy's mill located on this river five miles north of Buchanan" (1931), "Graveside services for Mrs. Julius (Frances Kearney) Hughes of Abernathy Mill Road (1974), "The historic Abernathy Mill [...] built in 1830" (1982). Expanding the search to neighboring Alabama brings up "the property known as the Abernathy Mill" (1876), but it's not clear this is the same place, since in 1876 the Alabama papers said that "the building known as the Abernathy mill has been torn down". I don't see anything to support the existence of this as a populated area. It does, however, seem quite clear to me that there really is (was?) an Abernathy's Mill in Haralson County. jp×g 17:03, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:NEXIST, and because it appears that the nominator has not done a WP:BEFORE and was mostly preoccupied with the article's current contents. I found the following English language sources through a 5 minute search on Google Scholar:
- The Mutant Land: How the Island Krakoa Dictates the Mutant Society in House of X
- Radiant Beings: Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene
- Lifeglows Through the Anthropocene: Development of the Radical Imagination and Response-Ability Within Superhero Comics
- Representations of Israel, literal and allegorical, in X-Men comics, apparently has a significant section covering Krakoa's analogy to the state of Israel, along with Magneto's various bases.
- This is before we even start counting various pop culture and entertainment websites and outlets that discuss Krakoa in a less serious manner. I did not bother with a Google Books search because a lot of false positives came up, with lots of results for the X-Men source material itself. There is this book which provides some helpful insight into its concept and development. jc37 is spot on, this topic represents a major though recent milestone from Marvel's canon, and the sources I highlighted are very recently published.

- Delete - this AfD has not seen much activity, nobody else has found sources, and my own WP:BEFORE searches have come up empty, so we are left with what's in the article now. Surely,
phoenix-vixx-fire.tumblr.com
andyoutube.com
are not reliable sources that show notability. The other site, "enewsworld", has no author information and no editorial information, so is likely either user-generated or a blog. This leaves us with allkpop.com, which is a user-generated site (their main page has a "create post" button above a Reddit-esque layout with downvotes and upvotes displayed beside posts). There seems to be no indication on the site of an editorial team, or even an editorial process. The people who posted the posts referenced by the article are webe, starsung and Germaine Jay, who does seem to be a staff writer, but that leaves us with only one allkpop reference, a passing mention in a four-sentence long post primarily about something that isn't MyDOL. Soompi does mention that it's a news site, but the source from Soompi doesn't mention "MyDOL" once. jp×g 00:26, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

- Redirect to VIXX. My search for sources (even in Korean) did not yield significant coverage of this survival competition show. There were stories about actress Kim Yoo-jung being in a promotional video for the forthcoming program [10] and singer Sung Si-kyung (who was signed to Jellyfish Entertainment at the time, the agency behind the show, and therefore not independent of the subject) mentioning it [11]. There is the trivial tidbit of the show being available on Pandora TV [12]. There are sources that explain what the show is and how contestants would be selected [13], the elimination of four contenders [14], and the confirmation of the remaining six [15]. The individual episodes didn't get coverage, nor did there seem to be interest in general at the time. After the last episode was aired, there are drive-by mentions of "VIXX was formed through MyDol" or "X, who was on MyDol, is going to debut".

I highly doubt this is a real place, but instead a WP:GNIS error. A 2017 edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Maine,_Maine&diff=780561315&oldid=772063754) stated "The location designated as a "village" is actually the name of a siding in the township of Ft. Fairfield, ME. The GNIS ref: is likely due to a typo as the location is on the Main Siding Road". The coordinates listed in the article on Google Maps show a farm, a few buildings, and a trail. Unfortunately, it's a little hard to verify any other info as it's pretty hard to find information, considering that this 'village' has the same name as the state it's in, and since the GNIS website is down at the moment. wizzito | say hello! 21:07, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete I found a single newspaper reference to a resident of Main Siding, but between the almost certainly incorrect name, the lack of any other information on Main Siding, and the fact that Caribou, Maine has annexed the area, I don't think we need an article here. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:19, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment User:TheCatalyst31; I found a topo map from 1930 that referred to the area as "Maines Siding", but from 1933 onwards it seems to be referred to as just Maine. wizzito | say hello! 01:22, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- It doesn't look like either "Maines Siding" or "Maine Siding" turns up anything useful either; almost all of the results are either local siding businesses or OCR mistakes. (And of course Maine on its own is impossible to search.) Even if the name was correct, it may have been little more than a railroad siding that got a road named after it.

- Delete; it's sad to say, but the obvious barrier to finding any information about this place means it's very unlikely that sources will be uncovered. Since it's been annexed, we're looking at a historical entry anyway. The lack of sources means that it's difficult to verify its existence, and it's not like we can write much about it in a potential redirect target. jp×g 16:54, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Unsourced since it's inception in 2007, this Beijing dessert comes up in absolutely no English sources. I pursued the possibility of a merge with a similar dessert, Talk:Baobing, but there was no connection. I finally found a source on a page of the official Beijing tourism website, but the dates don't confirm who came first. Either this is a copy-vio (please see talk page for more info) or this fails WP:V. Sounds tasty though. Estheim (talk) 20:13, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete: unsourced, and I've never heard of anything called Bing Guo as a dessert, nor is there any evidence (not even unreliable sources) that points this "dessert" to Beijing.

- delete. I tried searching for 冰果 but it only turned up anime, primarily Hyouka which has an oddly similar name. Nothing on the desert. 2A00:23C8:4583:9F01:F8FC:3D1D:E982:7C1E (talk) 08:14, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete and comment Searching for variations of "冰果" online and masking references to the anime, it seems like the term is simply used for desserts using ice cream (or more generally a cold preparation) and fruit, i.e. popsicles, fruit salads, smoothies, slushies, etc. In other words, it's not one dish but an umbrella term. Furthermore, it doesn't seem to be limited to any region. However, the dish in the article does seem to exist. After a bit of auto-translation shenanigans, I was able to boil the term "河鲜儿冰果" down, roughly translating to "hexianer ice bowl", "hexianer" being the mix of ingredients described in the article. Multiple internet sources do say it's a Beijing/Shanghai specialty, but even then, they either are in the form of independent cooking blogs or social media (Weibo/Baidu) posts. While it exists, it's not at ALL notable even outside of the confusion of terms. Toyota Impreza (talk) 11:16, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, move to Bing wan Did some more searching and the dish does exist, but under a different name. There are enough Chinese sources to meet WP:GNG, but the article should be moved to the actual name.

WP:BLP of a writer, not making or reliably sourcing any strong claim to passing our inclusion standards for writers. The notability claim on offer here is that she and her work exist, with no indication of the distinctions (literary awards, significant reliable source coverage analyzing the significance of her work, etc.) that it takes to turn existence into notability -- the closest thing that was present, until I stripped it as a violation of WP:ELNO, was a handful of direct offsite links to online bookstores or web-published copies of her own work, and while there have been additional footnotes here in the past that were recently removed by an editor claiming to be the subject herself, they were still just of the "her own work cited as proof of its own existence" variety rather than notability-building third party media coverage about her or her work.

- Delete. As per the prior AFD, political parties are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because it's possible to use primary sourcing to verify that they exist — the notability test is the reception of reliable source coverage about the party in media to get it over WP:GNG and WP:ORGDEPTH. The Le Journal de Québec citation is the only one here that's starting to put a foot on the right path — but it doesn't get this to the finish line all by itself if it's the only solid major media source in play and you're otherwise relying on a mixture of primary sources and smalltown community hyperlocals. Bearcat (talk) 20:30, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- WP:AUD allows local sources to be utilized to demonstrate notability if at least one national or regional source is included. The sheer amount of local coverage puts this subject across the finish line. Mottezen (talk) 05:21, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- AUD most certainly does not say (or mean) that the moment you can find one decent quality source from major media you're allowed to rely entirely on smalltown community hyperlocals otherwise. Local coverage isn't entirely verboten in Wikipedia, and I never said it was, but local coverage isn't necessarily enough all by itself if it's virtually all that a topic actually has — we do require broad coverage from a variety of major media, not just smalltown pennysavers, and that coverage does have to be analytical in nature rather than just local reportage of election campaign events and results. One national source is merely the starting line, the bare minimum that has to be present just to make the article not speediable — it is not in and of itself the finish line, and does not represent enough coverage to automatically require keeping the article in a full AFD discussion.

- Keep. Article creator here. Didn't realise there was a previous AfD. In my opinion, it's just unencyclopedic to have a party that got 46000 votes (and counting, 1%-2% everywhere it ran) and federally seventh party in terms of support not to have a page. The Le Journal de Québec piece gives plenty of information; I'll look for more and better sources, but there's plenty of regional coverage of particular candidates (and I don't see anything in notability that would disqualify local coverage). In my opinion, someone looking at the 2021 election in 2050 will want to know that this was a "Free from Covid-restrictions" rather than a free trade or a free zoo animals or a correctional reform party. I assume everyone realises, but just for reference, coverage is pretty much all in French so English non-finds not so relevant. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 20:56, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

- keep: It’s very easy to find adequate french-language sources on this party on Google. Mottezen (talk) 05:10, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Nearly all of the sources you can find, including many currently used in the article, report the same info you'd find in a campaign flyer, and in the same promotional tone: here's some basic biographical info on the candidate and their vague, idealistic vision of what they'll do if they're elected, with no editorial or critical review whatsoever. Here are some examples:
- [17]: "le Parti libre souhaite bâtir une économie locale plus solide, soutenir les aînés pour qu’ils n’aient pas à payer des loyers exorbitants et améliorer l’accès aux services." (Roughly: "The Free Party wants to build a stronger local economy, support seniors so they don't pay exorbitant rents and improve access to services.")
- [18]: "Son implication en politique se résume à la maxime suivante : « Je ne changerais pas mes enfants pour rien au monde, mais je changerais le monde pour mes enfants ». ("Her political involvement is summarized by the maxim, 'I would never change my children for anything in the world, but I would change the world for my children.'")
- [19]: "La jeune mère de famille veut une démocratie qui laisse plus de place aux jeunes. Elle se définit comme une citoyenne tannée qui veut que ça change." ("The young mother wants a democracy that makes room for youth. She defines herself as a [bold? literally "tanned"] citizen who wants things to change."
- [20]: "Le Parti libre prône une démocratie directe et donne la priorités aux enfants, parce qu’au final, on fait ça pour eux. Je pense beaucoup à la prochaine génération." ("The Free Party preaches direct democracy and giving priority to children, because in the end, we do it for them. I think a lot about the next generation.")
- [21]: This strange "interview", in which the party's leader rants and raves about the "acidification" of Saint-Sauveur, and actions he would take to "alkalize" the community, which for one is clearly not an interview (the supposed interviewer doesn't ask any questions) and is also not about the Free Party, it's about Leclerc's run for mayor of Saint-Sauveur in 2016.
- These are all clearly press releases written by the Party, given to local papers for free publicity, which the local papers print with minimal review (see the second bullet under WP:NEWSORG, or churnalism more generally). Also notice how the candidate photos used in the article are the same ones that appear on the Party's website. They cannot be used to establish notability: they are not independent, and rather than evidence that the organization attracts any level of local or regional attention, they are evidence that the Party has a marketer on staff.
- That all being said, the remaining few sources suggest an organization that may be worthy of inclusion in a List of minor political parties in Canada if such a list existed (there is such a list for Israel and I'm sure others must exist). But there is just not enough reliably-sourceable information on this party to warrant an entire article. Ivanvector's squirrel (trees/nuts) 13:16, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Here are some examples:
- You highlighted the worst of these articles in the list above, but here are better local sources currently in the article. While they mostly rely on information given by the Free party or the candidates themselves, the majority of local sources in the article are not republished press releases, but firmly secondary sources. One of them was even republished by the Canadian Press. Mottezen (talk) 20:06, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment What User:PEIsquirrel says is true of a lot of the reporting, some of it outright, some of it thinly veiled, but not of Journal de Quebec or of the various non-churnalism pieces like this https://montemiscouata.com/le-parti-libre-du-canada/ or this https://ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premiere/emissions/bonjour-la-cote/segments/entrevue/370521/bianca-girard-candidate-parti-libre-canada-manicouagan-cote-nord or this 17-minute interview https://www.cfjufm.com/entrevue/elections-federales-2021-louis-berube or the Journal Acces pieces in Saint-Sauveur. Yes, the latter are about Leclerc's run for mayor for Parti libre Saint-Sauveur (also here https://www.journalacces.ca/michel-leclerc-presente-equipe/) Leclerc: "Mon ambition est de lancer le parti ici dans le village, puis de conquérir la province et enfin le fédéral, pour améliorer notre liberté." So it's the same party according to him. I wouldn't make the article because the party has such great coverage--it's pretty terrible--but I would have it because I don't think at that level of support it should be a red link, so we use what there is. There are ten parties with pages that got fewer votes in the 2021 election. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 19:05, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- User:PEIsquirrel tanné(e) means "fed up" in Qc French.
- Interviews, in which somebody directly associated with the party is answering questions in the first person, are not support for notability — a source has to be third party analysis, written in the third person, to be legitimate support for notability. This is because notability is not a measure of the things the article says, it's a measure of the extent to which sources without a vested interest in promoting their own activities have analyzed and assessed the significance of the things it says. So notability is not "the party did stuff", it's "the party garnered a certain specific type, depth, volume and range of media coverage about the stuff it did". Bearcat (talk) 21:35, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Bearcat It seems to me that Notability doesn't say it needs to be analytical. In reality the range of coverage that needs to be met is a judgment call around what constitutes 'significance.' The party gets voted for enough and covered in minor ways in third-party reliable sources (Radio-Canada, TVA, Journal du Quebec, small broadcasters and papers) enough for me to deem that it is significant, but not for you. Fair enough. But there isn't actually a specific type or depth or volume. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 23:20, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Exactly, when a political party runs in 60 ridings and gets tens of thousands of votes, I don’t care about whether it meets a SNG designed to exclude ad-like articles or not. Mottezen (talk) 06:21, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- The thing you have to keep in mind is that sometimes sources that look like news coverage are actually still just thinly-veiled rewrites of the party's own self-published press releases about itself rather than coverage that actually establishes notability. Sources don't just have to verify facts, they have to establish the significance of said facts — for example, the mayor of a town or city is not automatically notable just because you can find one news article verifying her winning vote totals in the mayoral election, and instead establishing the notability of a mayor requires substantive coverage of specific things she did in the role. So notability is not "the facts can be verified", it is "a reason can be shown why the preservation of said facts in an encyclopedia for posterity is important". Bearcat (talk) 16:25, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- The result this party got in the election is reason enough to keep this encyclopedic article. Users have to keep in mind that this party did not even have a website one month ago. WP:NORG's otherwise justified emphasis on the quality of sources used in articles is too burdensome in this case, and can be ignored. Mottezen (talk) 19:47, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. I was indifferent on the first AfD, but there seems to be enough sources now. Plus, I think they did surprisingly well in the election for a fringe party (they won more votes than the Greens in a number of ridings), so I believe there is an encyclopedic need for this article, as I think people will be curious about what they're all about and why the did so well.-- Earl Andrew - talk 14:25, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. From what I can determine, the party won a significant percentage of the vote in several ridings, and especially in Quebec. Even if the party does not see success in the next election, it will remain historically relevant for the results of this election. The National Citizens Alliance has an extensive article of 25000 bytes which is 50 bytes for every vote it received.
Gardez. D'après ce que je peux déterminer, le parti a remporté un pourcentage important du vote dans plusieurs circonscriptions, et surtout au Québec. Même si le parti ne connaît pas de succès lors de la prochaine élection, il restera historiquement pertinent pour les résultats de cette élection.

- Keep I did look at this initially and think of closing, but given strong opposition expressed by a few, I felt better to !vote. The publicly expressed political interests of sizable segments of a population are inherently notable. To be crude this is quantitative: if we have political parties receiving more votes than the populations of some nation states (eg Monaco, Faroe, Marshall Islands) whose politicians are accorded presumed notability under NPOL we should resolve this inconsistency in favour of inclusion and not deletion of the similarly small. Located in context (COVID-19/surge in populist right politics/fringe anti-science/well-being politics) this is a political phenomenon attracting electoral support worthy of note.

And Together We Served is based on user submissions as well.

Some of those works which may look reliable from a glance (5 to 11) are only used in that off-topic digression on footnote A, and don't really cover the subject in any meaningful detail. There are also sources which are self-published (Gatling), and others which are not reliable (CAF and TWS, if the as-of-yet unrebutted statements above are correct). Source 1 may be adequate (7&6 thinks so, Mztourist thinks not) despite its short length, but overall that's really not much to go on. Avilich (talk) 19:47, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

- That's quite a distortion of facts. The delete voters are the only ones to have done a competent and serious Before – the others have simply thrown around bland statements like 'there are reliable sources' without any elaboration.

- I'm assuming you're not including the Anime results in that search as part of those "dozens or hundreds of books"? Or the Barbie one? Or the hundreds of simple mentions in photo captions or class rosters (many of which are contemporary and thus possibly primary sources)? And let's not forget the Book of Irish Names. Someone's name in a photo caption does not automatically equal notability, and poor sourcing (like the cite I removed) doesn't add anything to the article. Intothatdarkness 21:44, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- To clarify, the dozens/hundreds of books about the Mac Ross, the topic of this AfD, which is pretty obvious. This comment was made in good faith to help readers find reliable sources. I've already found and added 2 more to the article taken from that list. Just as Mac Ross felt that he was on trial every time he flew, anyone voting keep or adding sources can expect resistance at every turn ("Or the Barbie one" sigh). -- GreenC 22:15, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comparing Keep voters to Ross strikes me as more than slightly dramatic and likely in bad taste. The basic sourcing of the article remains poor, and the additions don't really speak to his basic notability. As a group, the Tuskegee Airmen are notable. Individually, it varies greatly just like members of any famous or notable military unit. Ross didn't survive the war and go on to higher rank in the Air Force (like other Tuskegee pilots), his DFC isn't sourced anywhere other than Together We Served (and it doesn't appear on their current listing for him) and didn't achieve ace status (which seems to confer automatic notability in AfD). Intothatdarkness 22:56, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Tuskegee airmen are notable based on their wartime contribution and their historic integration of the U.S. Army Air Corps. Tuskegee airmen are also inherently notable based on their collective award The Congressional Gold Medal awarded in 2007. At the minimum we have a an easy pass of WP:ANYBIO. I think the gold medal should end any debate about notability and I have added it to the article with references showing the congressional act and an article which states that the Tuskegee Airmen were posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. Lightburst (talk) 21:53, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- The secondary source you added does not even mention the subject of the nomination. Avilich (talk) 22:01, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- The secondary source mentions the posthumous award. The Tuskegee Airmen are notable. Lightburst (talk) 22:04, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- An award granted to a group doesn't establish the notability of each individual of that group (especially if it's large), only to the group itself, which already has an article. Avilich (talk) 22:07, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- By that reasoning each of the up to 20,000 Chinese-American servicemen and 200,000 members of the Civil Air Patrol who served during WWII are also deserving of an article, as do each of the 20,000+ Montford Point Marines who similarly integrated the Marine Corps. Best, GPL93 (talk) 02:55, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Maybe not all 1000, but the first 5 to graduate is a significant stand out from peers. Others were dropped from that first class. It was an historic accomplishment. The article says what a close-run thing it was, how Ross feared being accused of crashing a plane during training and giving critics ammo to say blacks can't fly. They flew under extreme pressure to perform and not make a mistake. Without his leadership the whole program could have been canceled, there were people willing to do so. -- GreenC 03:11, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- You would have to provide RS about Ross to substantiate a claim that "the first 5 to graduate is a significant stand out from peers". I agree with Avilich and GPL93, the arguments by Lightburst and GreenC are essentially that just being a Tuskegee Airmen establishes notability but that is wrong per WP:NOTINHERITED. Mztourist (talk) 03:15, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- GPL93 were the 20,000 you mention awarded the Congressional Gold Medal? Lightburst (talk) 03:22, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Lightburst: If you are alive when awarded, any living member of the unit/group are eligible to receive one. For instance, when the Borinqueneers Congressional Gold Medal was issued, you were sent medal as long as you could prove that you served in the 65th Infantry Regiment during the Korean War. Best, GPL93 (talk) 03:26, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- So 20,000 was hyperbole? In the case of the Tuskegee Airmen they all awarded even posthumously. In addition they broke the color barrier in the US Army Air Force. Undoubtedly a more significant contribution based on the US History of black white relations. And perhps some of the mentioned deserve articles. We should not penalize one because the other is absent. Cheers Lightburst (talk) 03:44, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Lightburst: My apologies as I thought you were talking about receiving a physical copy of the medal. It is technically awarded to all members of the honored group, alive and deceased. So yes, all 20,000 people were honored. Congress is awarding a blanket recognition to the contributions of a group of people when they do this unless they are conferring the medal to specific individuals.

- @Lightburst: If you are alive when awarded, any living member of the unit/group are eligible to receive one. For instance, when the Borinqueneers Congressional Gold Medal was issued, you were sent medal as long as you could prove that you served in the 65th Infantry Regiment during the Korean War.

- You would have to provide RS about Ross to substantiate a claim that "the first 5 to graduate is a significant stand out from peers". I agree with Avilich and GPL93, the arguments by Lightburst and GreenC are essentially that just being a Tuskegee Airmen establishes notability but that is wrong per WP:NOTINHERITED. Mztourist (talk) 03:15, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Maybe not all 1000, but the first 5 to graduate is a significant stand out from peers. Others were dropped from that first class. It was an historic accomplishment. The article says what a close-run thing it was, how Ross feared being accused of crashing a plane during training and giving critics ammo to say blacks can't fly. They flew under extreme pressure to perform and not make a mistake. Without his leadership the whole program could have been canceled, there were people willing to do so. -- GreenC 03:11, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- By that reasoning each of the up to 20,000 Chinese-American servicemen and 200,000 members of the Civil Air Patrol who served during WWII are also deserving of an article, as do each of the 20,000+ Montford Point Marines who similarly integrated the Marine Corps. Best, GPL93 (talk) 02:55, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- An award granted to a group doesn't establish the notability of each individual of that group (especially if it's large), only to the group itself, which already has an article. Avilich (talk) 22:07, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- The secondary source mentions the posthumous award. The Tuskegee Airmen are notable. Lightburst (talk) 22:04, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:ANYBIO. Tuskegee Airmen, especially some of the first, are going to be of historical and social interest, notable by virtue of their contribution to civil rights, military treatment of African Americans, and actual military action. It's worth pointing out, I think, that until WWII (and even thereafter) military action involving African Americans (including the Civil War) was often about them, rather than by them. That is, fighting over their rights, enforcing oppression, or responding to civil rights action. The Tuskegee Airmen represent one of the first instances of African Americans in the military, and even then they faced significant barriers and objections. Does keeping this article mean we "risk" having to cover some other Tuskegee Airmen? God, I hope so. We cover a great many people less worthy of note (who have made a considerably less meaningful contribution to their field) and I'm fine with covering a few more of these guys. St★lwart111 05:29, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- Mztourist, sure, and I think he passes #2. But on #1, WP:ANYBIO simply says, "well-known and significant award or honor"; it does not say the award or honour needs to have been an individual one. I agree that an individual award would put it beyond doubt, but just like winning a gold medal as part of a relay team, or winning a significant industry award as part of a team... St★lwart111 01:04, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- #1 of ANYBIO says "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor" that means an individual award, not being part of a group that received an award, otherwise every member of every group that recieved a well-known and significant award or honor would qualify, which is not the intention. Mztourist (talk) 02:55, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

- Wrong. On that logic all 1074 Women Airforce Service Pilots, all Montford Point Marines, all 2996 9/11 victims, all 200,000+ Civil Air Patrol members etc. are individually notable. Mztourist (talk) 14:19, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

- Like many guidelines and policies it is worded intentionally open-ended to leave room for specific cases to go one way or another depending on consensus discussions. No closer will say Stalwart is absolutely wrong, they will note it is a minority opinion in the AfD. Debates over group awards and ANYBIO go back since the start. For example a physics team share a Nobel or 5 people share a major award - that's why ANYBIO doesn't specifically exclude group awards, there are cases people think are OK. Nor does it specify a cut-off number for group size, that's up to consensus. Stalwart's opinion is valid, but it is minority in this AfD. -- GreenC 04:14, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- All true, though I did say (at the start of this sub-thread) that is was "arguable" that he "also" met #1 of WP:ANYBIO, having already met #2. There is no specification in that guideline that the award should be individual, though I agree that's the sensible and common sense standard to apply in most cases. In this case, it's moot anyway.

Black History Month: Mac Ross, and Walk of Fame in Dayton Daily News, Dayton Negro First to Join Caterpillars in The Journal Herald (these articles span about 70 years).

- The Congressional Record keeps track of things read into the record in Congress. As such it's arguably a primary source, and subject to bias as well. It doesn't keep track of who was part of the "original five Tuskegee Airmen", it records that someone said he was. Intothatdarkness 23:08, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - I sincerely believe there is enough coverage in reliable, independent sources to warrant notability, though perhaps the coverage is less concentrated and more scattered across RS than other WP:GNG cases. I think things like the Dayton Daily News, The Journal Herald, and the university sites are what we should be leaning into. That said, the article is an absolute mess and all the memorial/blog websites out to be purged (Together We Served, etc.). The Francis 2008 citation that uses 9 different pages is absolutely garbage for WP:VERIFY purposes in that format and the actual pages that support the given information need to be narrowed down.

- You are right there's no question of notability. I've tried to address some of your points by removing some sources and making verification easier. The TWS source remains but now tagged [better source needed] and collapsed into a single cite in one isolated section. I think the most valuable thing of this Wikipedia article from a historical perspective is to get the facts of his death in one place - I doubt the PR agent from the US Post Office was aware of this story or wanted to advertise it when they honored him as a role model for children, though plausible deniability remains. Seems like Col. Davis was trying to cover it up to cover any blame, we'll never know the truth. -- GreenC 19:31, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Putting the effort in BEFORE these articles reach AfD seems a better use of time, even if it's not seen as glamorous or attention-getting.

I originally created the list because there wasn’t a list which referenced similar standards which can relate to one another, even though the categories of standards included is broad.

Not sure what makes amino acid codes any more "international" or a "standard" than any other scientific notation, or why the recycling symbol, which is not actually internationally standardized ("countless variants of it exist worldwide"), is a standard any more than countless other widely recognized symbols. Traffic lights are not international standards (List of variations in traffic light signalling and operation), nor is the broad topic of musical notation. Tally marks are done differently all over and are by no means a "standard"! The word "common" is not the only issue, and even without these examples this is absurdly vague and goes beyond just needing clean up and should not be kept in mainspace at the least.

DeleteJust the list of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards is broken down into at least 25 articles which just list the titles of the standards.

The result was no consensus. This discussion points to a real need for either a subject notability guideline for eSports teams, or an explicit statement that no SNG applies and it's the GNG or bust.

- Well, if you disagree with an AFD close, that's a matter for WP:DRV. Otherwise, the relevant guide is WP:RENOM. WP:1E relates to people (not groups), WP:NCORP relates to companies (not sports teams), WP:ROUTINE is about statutory announcements and the like (not announcements by a group that have received significant coverage in reliable sources), and the history of the article isn't really something that is relevant to the subject's notability (but is relevant to WP:BEFORE which includes a check of the talk page which features the COI declaration you were looking for). St★lwart111 00:28, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Stalwart111, There has been a discussion on ESPORTS-related notability and its inclusion as per WP:NSPORTS. Currently, there is a clear and established lack of consensus to consider "Esports" a sport - here is the link of that discussion. Since, it's not classified as a "SPORTS TEAM" (in Wikipedia)... so we have to gauge this page under WP:NCORP guidelines. And, according to that... the organization simply fails because WP:CORPDEPTH (and rest of the coverages are nothing more or less than WP:ROUTINE). If we scrutinize it further, then you will find the page creator himself/herself is banned (indefinitely) - though I was quite skeptical to add CSD notice under G5 provision so I added AfD tag (2nd nomination). As you have rightly said, I could have gone through WP:DRV... But it's no more relevant because this new nomination has been added after 6 months. Feel free to rectify my interpretation, if it's found to be incorrect. -Hatchens (talk) 05:25, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- You expressed disagreement with the result of a previous AFD; the correct forum for that disagreement is DRV, not another AFD. It might not be disruptive (as renominating it might have been inside 6 months) but its still the wrong venue. The genesis of the article (and the involvement of banned editors) is irrelevant to the subject's notability. As for notability, I'm not sure why - having decided WP:NSPORTS is the wrong guideline - we should default to WP:NCORP for this unincorporated affiliation of esports participants...?
"we have to gauge this page under WP:NCORP guidelines"
... why? There are some corporations that the community has decided shouldn't be subject to that guideline. I'm not sure why we're looking for reasons to subject non-corporations to it. Where nothing else fits, we have WP:N and WP:GNG in particular. St★lwart111 08:54, 16 September 2021 (UTC)- Stalwart111, I can't help with your interpretation on WP:DRV - you are good in twisting it based on your interest - like at ongoing AfD Discussion of Luca Soccer Club (& there... I extended my support for the same). Nevermind, you yourself know the best reason behind such duplicity. Now, if we look at this entity which has been listed with Crunchbase as "For profit" organization - by default we have to assume it under WP:NCORP. If not, then as per your likings if we consider it under the provision of WP:GNG - then also it fails. Btw, I don't know how that DRV got closed without much discussion. - Hatchens (talk) 11:46, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Stalwart111, also I didn't participate in earlier AfD discussion so there is no question of me having any prior disagreement. This nomination is a fresh call that too taken after 6 months gap. So, kindly treat it accordingly. - Hatchens (talk) 11:52, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- There's no "twisting" or "duplicity", it's a simple matter of WP:WRONGVENUE. But if all you have to offer this discussion is bludgeoning and personal attacks there's no point engaging with you. And raising an AFD where the nominator probably should have been referred to WP:ANI is an... interesting... tactic. St★lwart111 13:23, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Stalwart111, I am not responsible for your poor interpretation of wiki guidelines. However, before you go ahead with your WP:ANI threat tactic...

- No. Nothing about this has been good-faith. You didn't conduct proper WP:BEFORE checks, accused another editor of not declaring a COI when they clearly had, then accused someone else of undeclared paid editing and sock-puppetry, then accused me of duplicity and deliberately misinterpreting guidelines to make a WP:POINT. Why on Earth you think I would support any of that is beyond me. St★lwart111 14:16, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I would recommend to add this AfD to an appropriate AfD discussion thread such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/eSports/afd to generate much wider general consensus (under the assumption of good faith).

- There's no "twisting" or "duplicity", it's a simple matter of WP:WRONGVENUE. But if all you have to offer this discussion is bludgeoning and personal attacks there's no point engaging with you. And raising an AFD where the nominator probably should have been referred to WP:ANI is an... interesting... tactic. St★lwart111 13:23, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- You expressed disagreement with the result of a previous AFD; the correct forum for that disagreement is DRV, not another AFD. It might not be disruptive (as renominating it might have been inside 6 months) but its still the wrong venue. The genesis of the article (and the involvement of banned editors) is irrelevant to the subject's notability. As for notability, I'm not sure why - having decided WP:NSPORTS is the wrong guideline - we should default to WP:NCORP for this unincorporated affiliation of esports participants...?
- Stalwart111, There has been a discussion on ESPORTS-related notability and its inclusion as per WP:NSPORTS. Currently, there is a clear and established lack of consensus to consider "Esports" a sport - here is the link of that discussion. Since, it's not classified as a "SPORTS TEAM" (in Wikipedia)... so we have to gauge this page under WP:NCORP guidelines. And, according to that... the organization simply fails because WP:CORPDEPTH (and rest of the coverages are nothing more or less than WP:ROUTINE). If we scrutinize it further, then you will find the page creator himself/herself is banned (indefinitely) - though I was quite skeptical to add CSD notice under G5 provision so I added AfD tag (2nd nomination). As you have rightly said, I could have gone through WP:DRV... But it's no more relevant because this new nomination has been added after 6 months. Feel free to rectify my interpretation, if it's found to be incorrect. -Hatchens (talk) 05:25, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
- Well, if you disagree with an AFD close, that's a matter for WP:DRV. Otherwise, the relevant guide is WP:RENOM. WP:1E relates to people (not groups), WP:NCORP relates to companies (not sports teams), WP:ROUTINE is about statutory announcements and the like (not announcements by a group that have received significant coverage in reliable sources), and the history of the article isn't really something that is relevant to the subject's notability (but is relevant to WP:BEFORE which includes a check of the talk page which features the COI declaration you were looking for).

- Comment: One of the editors Abhayesports tried to reach out and gave one of the highly vague lecture on "South Asia Esports Scenario" which can be accessed via this link - User_talk:Hatchens#About South Asian Esport Scenario. Also, the ID which has tried to reach out to me tried to create a page for the founder of this not-so-notable esports team. High Possibility: WP:COI/WP:UPE/WP:SOCK. -Hatchens (talk) 16:09, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Hatchens: It's already known that Abhayesports has a COI with Salwart Esports (see Talk:Stalwart Esports); hence why, I assume, they have not included themselves in this Afd discussion. Moreover, I believe they were just trying to inform you as to why there is no ESL participation (which isn't a necessity for notability -- I'm not sure why that was included in the deletion rationale). Let's AGF here. — Pbrks (talk) 16:27, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reply: Hatchens, I Could've commented it here but i'm under a COI with Stalwart Esports, My only reason to write it to you privately was to aware you of the esport scenario in south asia since you've mentioned that it doesn't have ESL Participation. it's clearly evident that you're not acting in a good faith, you're accusing me of Sockpuppetry just because i tried to enlighten you about the information you didn't have? Did it hurt your ego? I have no idea who you are but as far as the sources are considered, They clearly satisfy WP:GNG , WP:SIGCOV and WP:VG. Also that wasn't a vague lecture but something you didn't have idea of. The proof to this is your response to my message, you clearly don't have an idea of what Major events are and you don't know the difference in between South Asia and South East Asia, i've explained it to you there tho.

- Delete If we take WP:RS as a basic criteria, there are two sources that shine. First is Indian Express [24] and second one from Vice [25]. Both are about same event (which brings in the question of intellectual independence!) and unfortunately are very borderline to WP:CORPDEPTH. There are bits and pieces which could be considered but as a whole, sort of not getting there. This is very classic when reporters tell what is being told and there is no other efforts for fact check or to enrich the news by more in-depth research. That being said, good possibility that company can become notable in future and recreation should be allowed without prejudices, ideally via AFC. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 01:33, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Again, this isn't a company so why on Earth would we apply WP:CORPDEPTH and set an inexplicably higher bar than WP:GNG? Those two sources aren't written by the same people, or even published on the same continent, and they were published more than a month apart. Where is the question of intellectual independence? Multiple people writing about the same thing is exactly what we mean when we talk about significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources. St★lwart111 02:06, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

My conversation at Hatchens Talk Page. Also considering that this Article was once subjected to AfD and was stormed by a group who wanted to get it deleted, i'm not accusing anyone but there could be possibility of the same group acting again. I'd request Admins to look into their accounts as well because the information they're trying to push into this AfD is incorrect, i've given a brief information of why ESL isn't active in south asia at hatchen's talk page.

- Comment: I know there are few users who are in the hurry to close this discussion. So, I would request to those... please hold patience. Regarding Nomadicghumakkad, he/she is one of the AFC Reviewers whom I trust for withholding Wikipedia guidelines, and let me assure you he/she takes unbiased/uninfluenced call irrespective of what I say. So, it's not a WP:CANVAS - I assure everyone out here. Despite he/she voting for delete, I had a doubt on this entity's classification on Wikipedia - is it WP:GNG or WP:NCORP? To clear it, I religiously went to WP:TEA, raised my concern, and got this particular reply from Usedtobecool. There is still an ambiguity on how to classify an esports team but as per the lede (of this entity) - "it seems to meet the criteria given at NCORP". So, as of now, we will continue to treat it as an "ORGANIZATION" till we get a much better classification. So, my humble request is don't get excited. I'm quite thankful for Abhayesports for declaring WP:COI which I missed seeing in the first place because the tag was put on the entity's talk page rather than on the user page. Now, could you guys just excuse with your interpretations and wait for other's opinions so that a wider consensus can be derived. NOTE: We will use this AfD discussion as one of the case studies to initiate a discussion at Category_talk:Esports_organizations or Talk:Esports or Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Sports and suggest launching a Wikipedia Project Esports to discuss and frame proper guidelines for Esports organizations (Thanks to Gråbergs Gråa Sång for suggesting this). -Hatchens (talk) 12:47, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment It's a legit question if this is canvasing or not and unfortunately there is no straight answer to it. Hatchens asked to look at this AFD and figure if there was a COI problem. They never said go and participate. So, solely basis on past experiences, theoretically, this is not canvassing. But that's theory of course. In practical sense, if someone tags me to look at an AFD for whatsoever reasons, my likelihood of commenting increases. But I felt this discussion could use some more diverse opinions and hence came here. About Eports teams being a company or not - the way I would look at it, if they are making money in any format (even through cash prizes), they should be considered as a company. But that's my view. Feel free to strike my comment if you felt it didn't give a new perspective and came in here only to support the nominator by adding another invaluable keep.

- Delete NCORP applies to organizations of any type whatsoever. There are similar problems for profit making commercial companies as with volunteer organization --basically, they all live by publicity, and will use the press to get it. For all of them, material discussing only routine activities and funding is not enough to show notability. That's the reason for the NCORP restriction--not the desire to reduce coverage, but the need to reduce coi editing. DGG ( talk ) 04:10, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- It's not a corporation or an organisation. It has no constitution or membership guidelines or process for joining. It's not even a traditional sporting club (which, as a fan, you can become a member of). It's a sports team. The fact that their sport isn't considered a traditional sport does not mean that any kind of organised participation should be disingenuously conflated with the constitution of a formal organisation.

- NORG covers any
group of more than one person formed together for a purpose
, exceptsmall groups of closely related people such as families, entertainment groups, co-authors, and co-inventors covered by WP:Notability (people)
andnon-profit educational institutions, religions or sects, and sports teams
. If a group not covered by the exceptions has another specific notability guideline, it can be presumed notable based on that, without meeting NORG (not a direct quote, but also from NORG). When one concedes that esports team are not a traditional sports team and therefore not covered by NSPORTS, and that there is no specific guideline for esports teams, and that it is not among the exceptions listed, then it's simply logical that it is covered by NORG. Usedtobecool ☎️ 13:04, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- NORG covers any
- Yes, it's clearly a sports team. That the NSPORTS crowd doesn't want it, or doesn't know what to do with esports yet, does not make that untrue. There have been recent DRV discussions about whether NCORP should apply to corporations ahead of GNG, given the extent to which that guideline seems to have moved away from community sentiment. There's no justification for applying it here except as a tool for setting an artificially higher inclusion threshold, and the arguments above make that plainly clear. St★lwart111 13:51, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- WP:NSPORTS says there is no community consensus to consider esports a sport (sport is something to which the guideline NSPORTS applies; this is the only definition that's useful here). Even if this AFD did agree it's a sport, there is no corresponding list of criteria at NSPORTS. In absence of alternative specific guidelines for any group of more than one person doing something, NORG applies. The purpose of AFD is to apply existing guidelines and policies as they are, not as one thinks they ought to be. The debates are over interpretation, not merit. Regards!

- Usedtobecool, you know what's the irony - Stalwart111 forcing us to accept this eSports team as per WP:NSPORTS despite we clearly telling him/her... at this moment eSports are not considered to be part of NSPORTS. On the other hand, at an another AfD he/she doesn't want a football club - Luca Soccer Club to be assessed under WP:NFOOTY because he/she thinks WP:GNG is the appropriate guideline and keep the page.

- On the contrary, my argument there is that WP:GNG should apply because WP:GNG is our baseline notability criteria. My argument is the same here. It doesn't matter if that club doesn't pass WP:NFOOTY, because it already passes WP:GNG. And it doesn't matter if this sporting team isn't considered a sporting team or doesn't pass WP:NCORP, because it already passes WP:GNG. It's pretty simply, really.

But just to answer your question, Stalwart has played all the Pubg Mobile Pro League seasons till date which is a Major PUBG mobile tournament(PP- $200000+) , and has played multiple seasons of Free Fire Indian Championship. Again, even these things don't determine notability on wikipedia. Read WP:GNG. Just helping you out since you're a new esport editor on wikipedia. Warm Regards---Abhay EsportsTalk To Me 02:36, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Secondly, playing any 'major' local tournament, shouldn't be considered note worthy. There are dozens of teams who play various pubgm and free fire tournaments in a year, but I don't think that should make them notable.Aaditya.abh (talk) 02:46, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

But i believe COI can't stop me from defending false information considering that most of the admins might not be well versed with esports and would think that what you've written is correct when it's not. You've posted misleading information above classifying Pro League as a minor event and disregarding FFIC. So i believe it's my duty to raise awareness on the same because a $200k tourney can't be classified as minor. We don't take things personally here, this is a public encyclopaedia and we're all here to contribute. If i wasn't Assuming good faith i'd have dig up that you're doing this just because i commented on your S8UL AfD and disregarded those invalid sources as RS.

- Reply @Swordman97:, I don’t think participation in a certain tournament makes any team notable(as per my understanding of wikipedia’s guidelines), participation in major’s is a notability criteria for liquipedia but wikipedia follows certain guidelines and as per WP:GNG this subject has several WP:RS which meet the guidelines. Moreover, if all the teams who have participated in major’s are notable to have a page on Wikipedia then there are many esport teams out there who should be on WP, moreover can you kindly share the link to the specific guideline about having participation in a major to be notable for WP, Also, just to answer your query, Stalwart has participated in all the 4 seasons of Pubg Mobile Pro league South Asia, which is a major Pubg Mobile tournament, although I don’t believe it matters but still just answering your query.

- @Gyan.Know: This isn't how WP:AfD works. In general, if reliable, secondary, independent sources with significant coverage of the topic exist, then the article satisfies WP:GNG.

- Delete - It seems to me that the crux of this debate is whether NCORP applies to this esports team or not, and for this I feel we should ignore the letter of the policies, as clearly they are insufficient for this edge case and instead consider the intent, which is as a line of defence against the proliferation of corporate spam. Per this SPI, this article was created by a sockmaster pushing very hard for articles about the matter and other associated individuals which suggests a COI; as such, I feel it is appropriate to consider this under NCORP which means delete is the appropriate decision. I was actually expecting this line of argument to lead to a "Keep" !vote when I started down it, but I guess I was wrong BilledMammal (talk) 17:23, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
- BilledMammal, I'd like to understand your rationale here... are you saying that because the creator might have a COI (which you agree is suggested, but not confirmed) we should apply an irrelevant - but stricter - guideline to ensure it is deleted to protect the project from said suggested COI? St★lwart111 00:03, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
- In a way. It is unclear whether the WP:NCORP applies; there are arguments for and against. I probably lean towards the "for" argument, as these teams are for-profit entities that relying on popularity, at least in part, for their revenue.
- However, I decided that the situation was sufficiently nebulous that we would be better off considering the spirit of WP:NCORP, not the word, and to do this I thought we should look into the background of the article's creators; did they create it "under a cloud", is it reasonable to expect a COI or UPE to exist. To my surprise, it turned out that such a cloud existed, and thus it seems in line with the spirit of NCORP to apply it, and as there seems to be a consensus that the article should be deleted if NCORP applies, the only reasonable result, in my opinion, is delete. BilledMammal (talk) 00:15, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
- I mean, the author having a COI wouldn't be a reason for deletion in the first place, so applying an inapplicable guideline just to produce that result doesn't seem appropriate. The author's COI, or potential COI, isn't even something WP:NCORP considers, so it seems particularly bloody-minded to apply that guideline as some kind of strawman. The arguments in favour of deletion want to disingenuously apply WP:NCORP for the same reason; the subject doesn't pass that guideline so if they can argue that guideline should apply, they can have it deleted. "if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid". This fish should not be expected to climb that tree.

- Keep The sources look fine to me, and I don't think any higher standard above WP:GNG should be applied here.

- Who is going to tell Wikipedia:WikiProject India that most of their articles will need to be deleted? These contributions are getting insane, and insanely bad faith. St★lwart111 02:13, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete As I have argued above, WP:NCORP applies, and the topic fails it.Even WP:GNG is not met. WP:GNG is a criterion for a presumption that if these sources exist, it must be a topic worth knowing about (encyclopedic knowledge), and there must be more, enough to support a detailed and balanced article. The links that have been presented here for the purpose do not inspire confidence wrto. either. It was interesting and newsworthy when people from rival nations cooperated and it brought temporary media attention; that is not enough for notability which is more permanent. We could as well use the same references and write 2020 cooperation between Indian and Pakistani gamers to participate in the PUBG Mobile Pro League South Asia after PUBG was banned in India, except it's not a notable event under the same sources. How can the same sources make an event non-notable and a group of people notable? They don't. If this is not an organisation, it's a group of people involved in an event. That event is not notable and regardless, the group fails WP:BIO1E. The only escape is to make this group a sports team which is against community consensus. Even if it weren't, it fails any reasonable sporting guideline we might have come up with, as the coverage is about a single event, the filling of roster (not playing) for a competition that is not played at the highest level.Regards!

- Delete. Agree that WP:NCORP applies here. NCORP is broader than WP:NSPORT when it comes to sports teams, which are "organizations" -- NSPORT would be an "escape route" from NCORP application by way of specificity, but since esports are not categorized as sports for the purposes of NSPORT, this article can't escape NCORP. Subject fails NCORP. — Alalch Emis (talk) 21:24, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

- Keep I'm unsure about the specifics of WP:NCORP vs WP:NSPORT which seems like a wider discussion, but for me the article passes WP:GNG , and nothing has shown the original decision should be overriden. Vanteloop (talk) 13:49, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Vanteloop: It isn't complicated, but it has a certain logic that needs to be followed. It isn't about a wider discussion, just about logic:
- NSPORT deals only with things commonly held to be sport, and not with things only sometimes referred to as a sport or things that share some common elements with sport
- The community does not hold that esports are sport (there is a lack of consensus on the issue of whether they are or aren't, which has been noted down)
- Therefore: NSPORT doesn't apply to esports -- so what does?
- Regardless of differences between esports and sport, esports teams, like sports teams, are organizations
- NCORP applies to organizations in general (had NSPORT not existed, the applicable guideline for sports teams would have been NCORP)
- therefore: it is NCORP that applies to esport teams
- this esports team as a subject of encyclopedic coverage doesn't pass NCORP (for obvious reasons)
- when NCORP is the controlling norm and subject doesn't pass NCORP, said subject is non-notable, because there is no other way notability can be established or presumed for it (such as GNG, because NCORP, within it's area of application, is applied not in tandem with GNG, but instead of GNG)
- therefore: the subject is non-notable
- and ultimately: this article (being that it deals with a non-notable subject) should be deleted — Alalch Emis (talk) 23:29, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
- "Meets WP:GNG" has one step: "1. Subject meets WP:GNG." Besides which, the WP:NTEAM section of WP:NSPORTS makes it quite clear that NSPORTS doesn't have criteria for teams anyway, and says the fall-back for sports teams and clubs is WP:GNG, not WP:NCORP:
"This guideline does not provide any general criteria for the presumed notability of sports teams and clubs. Some sports have specific criteria. Otherwise, teams and clubs are expected to demonstrate notability by the general notability guideline."
. Your novel 10-step interpretation isn't supported by that guideline at all. St★lwart111 09:12, 20 October 2021 (UTC)- I do think it's a useful summary of the argument, but I think the situation is genuinely quite murky. WP:NCORP is quite clear that sports teams are not covered:
"The scope of this guideline covers all groups of people organized together for a purpose with the exception of non-profit educational institutions, religions or sects, and sports teams."
However, whether esports teams are "sports teams" is the question at issue here! If they aren't sports teams, then they are clearly a "group of people organized together for a purpose" and so are covered by WP:NCORP. If they are sports teams, then they are specifically exempted from WP:NCORP and covered by WP:NSPORTS (which as you point out just defers directly to WP:GNG for sports teams). So Alalch Emis's point (4) is incorrectly stated, and in fact the argument for which notability guideline to apply hinges on whether esports teams are sports teams. Suriname0 (talk) 03:32, 21 October 2021 (UTC)- Well then, we should probably just reflect what reliable sources say about esports I guess: [30], [31], [32]. St★lwart111 04:29, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

And, if Joe Biden's house, which is located down the street from it, was also considered part, there would be 100s of houses included in this development.

Sure, back in 1954 this ad thought that relevant to inform potential homebuyers, but that's not independent coverage for notability, due weight, or encyclopedic relevance.

- This is incorrect. When I lived in the area in the mid 1970s, the Morning News and Evening Journal were published as separate editions, in the same typeface and all, by the same publisher. Acto our own article, the "merger" into a single edition wasn't accomplished until it was bought up by Gannett in 1989, but even before that they were simply morning and evening editions from the same publisher.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
No significant coverage in reliable sources. Searching Google Scholar and Books, I find no reliable sources discussing "xenia epigrams" as a concept. The only reference in the article is to a book by a minor 19th century poet who used "xenia" as a heading in one of his poetry books; the fact that one author has grouped some poems under the heading "xenia" no more makes "xenia epigrams" a notable genre than the fact that the same author grouped some poems under the heading "triflings" makes "trifling poems" a notable genre. His using the term once does not significant coverage make. Even assuming that "xenia epigrams" is used in the sense given (which I can find little evidence for!), the fact that no sources discuss it means that this can be nothing more than a dictionary entry.

I'm not seeing how this gym fits the notability requirement. The only notable bit about this gym is that the Rua brothers founded it. There is no references or in depth information about the gym itself. I'm not able to find any in depth articles about it. Per sherdog, the gym hasn't really produced any notable fighters apart from the founders themselves. The official site link doesn't work anymore and their social media accounts haven't been active for years. Just a local gym at best so I don't think it warrants its own wiki page.

WP:NOTDIR & WP:NOTEVERYTHING - just because we have a single reference (the company's official handbook) doesn't mean that we have to replicate every single entry in the contents section. This list of obsolete 1970s and 1980s computer interface and memory cards adds zero value to Wikipedia and is already summarised to good effect in the parent article Q-Bus. If anything, the sentence there that states "A wide range of interface cards are available for the Q-Bus." could be expanded with a short list grouping the different types of interface. It could also be that this list, being lifted from the source, is copyvio if the descriptions in the function column are lifted word for word - as some seem to be. 10mmsocket (talk) 07:56, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

- I'd separated it from the parent page in question as IMHO the list was overly long and distracting; deleting this page would therefore be an overall removal of information that existed prior to the page's creation, which isn't to say it shouldn't be done but that some caution should be exercised if that wasn't the intended result. The alternative is to re-merge it back into the Q-Bus page but that would simply take us back to where we started (unless the list can be collapsed; I don't know enough about the finer points of Wiki code to know if that's possible nor how it would be accomplished).
- I also dunno if I'm supposed to write "disagree" or "oppose" or something like that in a fancy colour!
- --Vometia (talk) 08:02, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Further edit: I'd also remark that "zero value" is rather PoV. Old systems, their research and restoration are seeing a lot of popularity so the information is valuable to those people and its removal therefore unhelpful: what is Wikipedia's value if not to people who are searching for that information? --Vometia (talk) 08:04, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Looking at other legacy (or even current) bus systems, e.g. VME, ATA, SBUS, UNIBUS, I do not see any other lists of cards. There is a perfectly good and accessible list of Q-BUS cards in the single reference on the article Digital Microcomputer Products Handbook 1985. I don't see why that guide needs to be replicated as a Wikipedia article. Whether the list is here or back in the original article doesn't get around the fact it is way more detail than is necessary. 10mmsocket (talk) 09:32, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Depends on one's definition of "necessary"; trouble is, it's a rather subjective measure. tbh I don't have a lot invested either way and as mentioned previously, the article's creation was specifically to remove clutter from the parent. But I tend to fall on the side of being loath to nuke potentially useful information. I guess I disagree with the deletionist stance as the dividing line between useful/useless is an absolute judgement based on an arbitrary cut-off point of the particular deletionist's own devising. Anyway, that's probably a discussion for elsewhere (and another one I'm not all that invested in), my point is that I don't see what is gained by deleting it but I see potential problems with doing so. --Vometia (talk) 11:48, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep - there are two sources in Japanese, courtesy of CiNii (Japanese academic database), listed with "ダッカ日本人学校" in the title:
- 丸田 豊通 and 高橋 将人. "小さくてもキラリと光るダッカ日本人学校." 遡河 (17), 83–85, 2014. 遡河編集部. See profile at CiNii.

- I have not seen any evidence that the first has any connection to the school. The second is a report of a person from a school in Japan (豊橋市立福岡小学校) who worked in the Dhaka Japanese School.
- WhisperToMe (talk) 19:07, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. Neither source provides significant coverage of the school. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Not convinced that sources are likely to exist. The fact that the Japanese wiki is lacking an article is telling. Additionally, we need to uphold the RFC at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES that schools must show significant coverage in independent refs in order to be kept.4meter4 (talk) 20:27, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- @4meter4: Do you read Japanese? Have you read the sources? I can't see how neither source has Wikipedia:Significant coverage (""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.") since the name of the school is in the title of each source, that means the school is the main topic, which means by definition the source must provide significant coverage. Working in a Japanese school can be freely read online, and without a doubt gives SIGCOV. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:17, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

- Comment Kudos to WhisperToMe for finding the three sources in Japanese. The 1979 source says when it was established, who the first teacher was, the initial number of students, what the facilities and teaching supplies were like, when the second teacher arrived, etc. It is significant coverage. The 2005 source and the 2014 source are offline, so I don't believe any of us have read them. WhisperToMe's argument that from their titles and length they are likely to contain significant coverage is persuasive. However, 4meter4 makes the point that WP:GNG and WP:ORG call for independent sources to establish notability. The 1979 source is written by the school's first teacher. The 2005 source, according to WhisperToMe, is written by former employees. And one of the authors of the 2014 source, Toyomichi Maruta, is the principal of the school (or was as of 2013).[36][37] So none of the sources is truly arms length. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:16, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to Nihonjin gakkō as an alternative to deletion. There isn't much content to merge, but that article's list of schools is a good place to record its name in Japanese, year it was established, and what sources are available. Although the resulting redirect would lead to little information specific to this campus, it would give readers useful information about this specialized type of school that they otherwise might not find. I can't recommend keep because of the absence of independent sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:27, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

- Keep I've trimmed the unsourced content and added an independent source. Questions were asked in parliament about the school,[38] (before independence, when it was run by the Pakistan Air Force) but I can't see the answers in Google snippet view, and won't be able to consult the printed source before this AfD closes.

Appears to fail the notability, reliable sources and verifiability tests. Nothing suggests it introduced any breakthrough technology or in any way contribute to the development of the gopher protocol or gopherspace, all that we can see is that it is another run-of-the-mill gopher server. The only secondary source mentions it in passing, merely confirming its existence. Good faith search failed to find any other references. The article merely repeats the information already present in gopher (protocol) § Server software. The article was nominated for proposed deletion but the nomination was contested.

I believe that this article should be deleted due to the nature of this article being sourced by nothing but unsourced genealogical entries on findagrave. In fact, if you search on Google for Hugh of Austrasia, all of the first page is nothing but unsourced genealogical sources, or the Wikipedia article.
I have actually heard of Hugh before, while doing genealogical research. I came across it on a very poorly sourced megatree and I have a feeling that either, this dude isn't real, or he is unverifiable.
Setting a Google search parameter for anytime before Dec 31 of 2015, shows no results for me on Hugh whatsoever, except for a WordPress, and a few other sources that don't provide any sources, and seem to be merely lists or previously stated genealogical sites. I think that someone needs to show me a scholarly article or source mentioning Hugh, or else this article should be deleted, perhaps along with some other Austrasian Kings.

I thought I found another name for it called "Nguyễn Du Gifted High School" but from what I found searching that up, they seem different. From the news search, I only found minor mentions such as this, I think same applies with the sources you gave.

The lede describes this fossil fish species as "a dubious species for the dubious genus [...] Muzaffarabadmachli". Single ref, link given goes to the wrong publication - the correct one (acc. to PBDB) appears to be something I cannot even link to due to blacklisting;[1] that publisher is Scientific Research Publishing, a house of ill repute. No other hits in the literature except for original description. - As recently discussed, this author has an uncertain reputation; taking that into account and considering the only source is a predatory journal, I don't believe we should keep this taxon article. Redirecting to the fish equivalent of List of informally named dinosaurs may be an option, but I don't think we have that. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 21:13, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

- Hindu Human Rights is the oldest standing Human Rights organisation for Hindus in the UK and one of the first outside India in the world. It is a notable organisation and it should not be deleted. It is also problematic in the context of a competing, far newer group from the USA who are aggressively using a very similar name and have gone so far as to claim the knowledge panel at google with their own account. This is a maliciously motivated attempt to silence Hindu Human Rights. Jnanashuddhi (talk) 11:41, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- It appears unwarranted to target this page for deletion. It doesn't seem to be violating any clauses and WP:NORG is certainly met as compared with other organisations on wiki since HHR is a distinct and unique organization with significant number of anti-Hinduphobia events held under their guidance and a significant social media presence. I would raise a point towards probable malicious targeting of the page here since equally or even lesser known organizations seem to have wiki pages without any deletion discussions on them. e.g. Labour Muslim Network, Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council, Council on Islamic Education, Muslim Student Union of the University of California, Irvine, etc. The last one, for example, is a university student organisation. It's very unnerving to see that there is no deletion discussion for a wiki page of a small college student organisation but is there for an international human rights organisation. I'd suggest the wiki community should do much more against such biased discussions which waste the time of contributors. Toshi2k2 (talk) 19:00, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Notwithstanding your inability to read WP:NORG (the criteria is

- Notwithstanding your inability to read my comment in its entirety, I mention ..as compared with other organisations on wiki... Additionally, WP:WHATABOUTX mentions - While these comparisons are not a conclusive test, they may form part of a cogent argument; an entire comment should not be dismissed because it includes a comparative statement like this.... The article appears to consist of independent, reliable citations (BBC News, Times of India, The Hindu) to news reports/articles which point to some of the HHR activities and demonstrations which should be apt (alongwith the comparative argument) for the article to exist. Despite this, even if you continue to argue using the notability clause, the article seems to be still covered under WP:FAILORG and WP:NONPROFIT. A better use of space and time would be improving the article and making it more comprehensive. e.g. adding details regarding founding, membership, structure, etc. Toshi2k2 (talk) 20:07, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

- The Hindu article is about Meghnad Desai's reaction to some campaign on M. F. Hussain that the organization had started.
- The TOI article has two paragraphs. In the second of them, it notes that our subject has planned a protest against Hussain.
- This is literally the reason for which a NYT source was deemed to not make the cut in the boilerplate source-analysis-table provided at NCORP.
- The BBC article on Tina Turner devotes two lines to the organization. (1) The organization has planned to protest her appearance in her film and (2) that they have circulated a petition.
- Once again, the coverage is not significant.
- The BBC article on Harrods quotes HHR executives on some controversy over a store selling objectionable clothing.

- Radio Kantipur National Music Award is an award given by an FM station. The source is primary. We don't have an article for the award. I don't want to say it's never enough because I am wary of the precedent. Music Awards are usually given out by FM stations; and at least some of them used to mean something; may still do. But there are far too many awards, none seem to be regular, and it's hard to say whether any of them has absolute integrity/independence. See, for example, this. So, the award, in my opinion, is not enough for WP:NMUSIC but I think it is enough for WP:ANYBIO especially with an RS saying, in a piece about Teej music, that this is one of the artists who produces popular Teej music annually. Not a slam dunk but as a way of extending significant AGF and erring on the side of inclusion. Such flexibility is, of course, not warranted when UPE and socking is involved, as it is here.

Primary school with no clear claim of notability. Proposing a redirect to Mount Gravatt, Queensland lovkal (talk) 09:19, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
I figured the school being listed on the Brisbane City Council Heritage register may make it notable? Otchiman (talk) 09:44, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
I have added a number of newspaper articles as references as well as a peer reviewed journal article which performed a study on the school. Otchiman (talk) 10:41, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. While Bloomington MN appears to be large enough that a substantive and well-sourced article about a mayor could potentially be kept, it is not large or important enough that its mayors would simply be presumed notable just because you write and primary source a short blurb that barely goes any further than "he was a mayor who existed". The notability test for mayors is not passed simply by writing a few stray tidbits of biographical trivia; it is passed by writing and reliably sourcing (meaning media coverage, not the city's own self-published website about itself and not user-generated family genealogy sites) a substantive article about his political impact: specific things he accomplished, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth.

- Delete. The page was created by User:Jimison5, which is a WP:SPA, see Special:Contributions/Jimison.5, my guess is that they were an experienced editor who was paid to create this article as they created a draft of article in a sandbox and then created the article. Searching Newspapers.com for '"Park Street District" Columbus' in Ohio yields 6 hits. Two are from 2010 about a Park Street Festival - as notability is not inherited, these two articles do not support notability for this article. (I'm not so sure a Park Street Festival article would be notable, see WP:PRODUCTREV). One article has a passing reference to a house, the other three are scan errors. Searching GBooks yields some 1899 school-related hits about the Park Street District and some 1908 public works. The other GBooks hits don't apply. I found no WP:RS sources that are solely about this area. WP:GNG is not met. There is no legal recognition of the subject, nor is there any non-trivial coverage, thus #1 and #2 of WP:GEOLAND are not met. 18:00, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

- The size-of-the-city test for mayors was deprecated years and years ago, and is no longer relevant to establishing the notability of a mayor at all. There's no longer any presumption of notability granted to mayors of any size of city in the absence of meaningful and reliably sourced substance about the significance of their mayoralty.

I am not satisfied with the sourcing either: the first is more about co-working in Hungary than Loffice itself (they have a mention in it of course, but still), the second is the homepage of the organization, and it doesn't even have a "sajtó" (press) link on it, the third is a blog, the fourth one is an invitation to some club, and the fifth one is a blog again, and it is about a conference. I did not find much reliable sources during a google search either, the results were mainly databases and trivial mentions. COI also applies, as this was the creator's only edit before he vanished into thin air. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 06:06, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

- I've been starting AfDs of audio engineers in my spare time because I found that many of them appeared promotional. Those that have been deleted thus far were poorly sourced, and appeared promotional for structural reasons. Because of the lack of reliable coverage about their lives, the articles focused on their production credits. Such articles are essentially advertisements: "This guy worked with a bunch of notable artists, you should hire him". Mottezen (talk) 03:40, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete What is an audio engineer? It's not a person with an engineering degree. It's someone who is hired to work in a studio "engineering" a recording. I have done some minor recording engineering, so I know what it is: sitting behind a mixing board and computer adjusting levels, equalization and mixing of the tracks. They might also add effects like reverb to tracks. they are essentially equipment operators who adjust the amplitude and frequency characteristics of the parts of a recording. It's a run of the mill job. Audio "engineering" not the kind of "engineering" we might look at for a engineering professor who is on the tenure-track at a university. Even those accredited engineers, of which there are hundreds of thousands, are not typically notable under WP:NPROF, as we have high standard there. For this non-accredited recording engineer, I would expect that they would need to have some large accomplishments to meet GNG. There would have to be good coverage, or significant awards, and there seems to be very little of those here. the fact that they worked on adjusting levels for a famous musician's recording just does not cut it, unless good pubs have written about that work. In short, this is just a guy doing his job, who has attracted a small amount of low-quality coverage. There is nothing particularly notable about his accomplishments, and this is attested to by the lack of coverage in reliable sources. --- Possibly ☎ 22:12, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
- I don't know why you have brought up NPROF, nobody in this discussion has suggested that audio engineers are a discipline of chartered engineers. I have worked in the industry too, so I know perfectly well that they are not. It is, however, recognised that the engineer can contribute significantly to the creative content of a recording and can become very notable for it. That's how come we have category:audio engineers and why PRODUCER is the relevant guideline here. For the avoidance of doubt, I am not making an argument either way for this particular engineer. SpinningSpark 13:33, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: There is no argument that can be made to !keep this article based of WP:PRODUCER. The list of artists that the article claims this person worked with is total bullshit. We can see here that he appears in the credits of a single song of a mixtape by DJ Esco that includes songs originally created by the artists listed in the lede of the article. That seems to be where this list comes from. None of the other credits can be verified, as this guy isn't even listed in the AllMusic database. Mottezen (talk) 05:31, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

The requirements to keep MMA gyms on wiki has gotten more stringent lately. In the page's current state it look towards failing WP:NORG. I can't seem to find anything substantial about the gym itself. All I can find are some brief mentions of it when talking about what gym a fighter trains at. Even the only reference this page makes is like that. Not to mention there don't seem to be many high level fighters affiliated with this gym except James Varner. In my opinion it seems more like a regional level gym rather than your typical "Super-gym" and so I'm not really convinced it should have its own wiki page. Also the article has been tagged as needing additional verification since 2010 and yet there has not been any real improvement to it. Imcdc (talk) 05:14, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

- keep I think; I have no particularly strong feelings on whether the list should exist, but I don't think current lack of references is an adequate reason for deletion. We should delete if references could not conceivably be found. Preserved railways tend to attract a bit of press interest, at least locally, and it should be possible to verify the existence of almost all of these locomotives, if anyone wishes to. In fact, for some, we don't even need to look very far. The first in the list, British_Rail_Class_D2/10 has a referenced statement in its own article that two are preserved (it's a book that I don't have, so I can't check it genuinely supports the statement). Unfortunately the onus is on the deleter to demonstrate that sources don't exist, not on anyone else to insert them, and I'm not sure I have the energy to track down such a huge number. Taking a completely random example (honestly, I just picked it) British_Rail_Class_25, this also has, in its own article, a table of preserved examples, with no less than 12 references!

This article doesn't appear to meet Wikipedia's criteria for stand-alone lists, and I've nominated it for deletion.

- Delete I am sure this passes WP:NLIST to some degree (probably not through the most reputable sources) but I think it is a tricky cross-categorisation. My !vote is based on the inherent WP:BLP issues with this. Most sources will probably not have an exhaustive list of "black Primetime Emmy Award winners and nominees" so requires editors to do some compiling of their own. Editors will inevitably do some WP:SYNTH or WP:OR to determine who is "black". I know this might seem silly or like I am a pedant but this is actually a reasonably complex designation (especially for non-Americans). I don't think editors should be the ones to catalogue a living person's ethnicity. Two telling examples currently on the list:
- Rashida Jones - could equally appear on a white or Jewish list (see her WP for her own complex views on her identity).
- Nick Mohammed - His mother was Cyprus-born and his father an Indo-Trinidadian. As far as I can tell this wouldn't fit into the definition of "black" but it is not my place to make that judgement.
- There are many others on the list of ethnically mixed parentage (Nathalie Emmanuel, Giancarlo Esposito, Steven Canals, Ezra Edelman, Maya Rudolph etc). You could possibly move this to List of African-American Primetime Emmy Award winners and nominees (which is an easier designation to verify) but where would that leave Lupita Nyong'o? Ultimately we would need a source confirming a winner/nominee is "black" as well as that they were a winner/nominee and I do not think editors will do that. Then we just end up with WP:BLP and WP:V issues. Vladimir.copic (talk) 08:15, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Not to belabour this point too much but I just noticed Trevor Noah is listed who was designated as coloured in South Africa which is/was a different racial category to black and caused him issues as a child of a “black” mother. Shift this to a US context and he is labelled black. Another example of how this list does not make sense. Vladimir.copic (talk) 23:40, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment I would also suggest including List of Latin and Hispanic Primetime Emmy Award winners and nominees in this which hilariously includes Antonio Banderas and commits many of the same sins. Vladimir.copic (talk) 01:22, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Vladimir.copic: I agree, but for the record, Antonio Banderas is Spanish. "Hispanic" includes anyone from Spain or other Spanish-speaking countries. Him being on that list is not an error.
- The list claims to “includes performers born in Latin America and with Latin American descent or heritage.” As far as I can tell being Spanish doesn’t fit this. To be fair this is just funny compared to the more eyebrow-raising placing of the Mexican flag next to American citizens, born in America who happen to have Mexican-American parents. Imagine doing something similar to Americans of European ancestry. Vladimir.copic (talk) 07:51, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete this and similar lists. Whilst it is certainly true that "lifestyle" magazines produce lists of this kind, they also produce lists of "the stars' favorite barbecues" and "six mountain resorts you've never heard of": the publication of a list does not create notability per se. I'm particularly worried about how we specify who's on this list and who isn't. I'm pretty sure we can't go and ask every Primetime Emmy Award winner whether they identify as one group or another racially, and there isn't a standard criterion we can apply. I'm grateful to Vladimir.copic for his comments above, which put my somewhat inchoate concerns far more eloquently than I could manage myself! RomanSpa (talk) 12:53, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- It's far more than the publications you dismiss as "lifestyle" magazines. This topic has been covered by Hollywood Reporter, Variety, CNN, LA Times, and NY Times. There's no shortage of reliable sources which could be used to satisfy WP:V. pburka (talk) 16:35, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Most of those would appear to be about individual black winners or #emmyssowhite which is a wholly different topic than just “black Emmy winners”.

- I also think that a dedicated page about EmmysSoWhite or Racial bias in Emmy Awards would be more useful and would be able to provide more context than a simple list. But I'm also not convinced that this list fails WP:LISTN or WP:V. pburka (talk) 17:03, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- I definitely support one or both of the first two, but generally speaking I generally don’t think lists can be good articles if they aren’t about plain, objective information like “tallest buildings” or “people with dwarfism”. Dronebogus (talk) 17:14, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Clearly you've never been involved in discussions about whether the CN Tower is a building or whether One WTC's spire counts towards its height. The objective criteria for this list is simple: have reliable sources described the people as "Black Primetime Emmy Award winners (or nominees)"? pburka (talk) 17:35, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- there’s a world of difference between “+/- spire” (just list it off to the side in another column) and whether or not someone gets to be considered a “black person”, reliable sourcing or no. 3rd parties shouldn’t get to arbitrate people’s identities, and self-identification isn’t objective enough to use as the basis for this article. Dronebogus (talk) 17:43, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Simply untrue to say this is an objective criteria. Just read the intro to the Black People article for confirmation. This page even includes a weird WP:OR definition of what black means for the purposes of this list which is just wrong. Currently the list seems to follow some kind of Americanised one-drop rule for determining blackness. See my above comment about Trevor Noah and other for why this is absurd and has WP:GLOBAL issues. If we just use sources that actually describe someone specifically as a “Black Primetime Emmy Award winner or nominee” (Not African, African-American, Afro-Cuban etc) it will just be a weird hodgepodge of names happening to have been described in this very specific way.

- The article is fairly poor. It's going to meet WP:N as a topic, but I'm not at all sure that means we should have the article. As an editorial matter, this seems not hugely encyclopedic. I'm going to go with keep because AfD isn't the right place to discuss merging or redirecting a topic that meets WP:N, but I'd be open a discussion on the talk page involving merging or redirecting if someone can identify a good target. Hobit (talk) 02:11, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I also don't play Magic & only accidentally ended up on an article improvement kick for this game. Like User:Piotrus, most of what I found was about Commander which was useful for the Magic: The Gathering Commander#Commander sets which specifically lists the preconstructed products for that format. Part of why I went AfD over merge discussion was that I couldn't find much about the use/history of theme decks in the various formats. So while the concept of theme decks might be good to merge elsewhere, I'm not entirely sure how to make the list of charts readable for someone without deep knowledge of the game. Like User:Dream Focus, the list of charts mostly left me with questions. For example, why are the number of cards in a deck not standard across all decks; I assume that's because these decks are intended for different formats but I would love sources to explain that X theme decks are intended for A format while Y theme decks are intended for B format. Is "theme deck" suppose to mean "all preconstructed decks" as User:Qwaiiplayer says below? Did WoTC changes their marketing terms and if so, when? Etc.

- Keep per Piotrus. These products, often called "Preconstructed Decks" or "Precons" nowadays, usually receive significant coverage, especially the commander products (e.g. [92] [93]). The page needs a lot of cleanup but the topic meets WP:GNG and WP:NLIST. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment My understanding was that these theme decks were a type of preconstructed decks. Some of the formats list their preconstructed products (for example, the commander decks are listed here: Magic: The Gathering Commander#Commander sets). Sariel Xilo (talk) 16:46, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I think part of the confusion is that before preconstructed Commander decks were created in 2011, the term "theme deck" and "preconstructed deck" were mostly interchangeable. While theme decks generally refer to the 60 card preconstructed decks that are released with each new set, it seems that this article includes all types of official preconstructed decks in its scope (e.g. Starter decks and Commander Decks). As of now I'm unsure whether the article scope should be expanded to include all preconstructed decks (i.e. move the page to List of Magic: The Gathering preconstructed decks) or just eliminate all the decks that aren't strictly "theme decks" (e.g. List_of_Magic:_The_Gathering_theme_decks#Commander and List_of_Magic:_The_Gathering_theme_decks#Starter_Level). That can be discussed outside this AfD though. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 17:42, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Qwaiiplayer, IMHO we should have a single list for all of those theme/precon decks (note: I play MTG and collect those very decks).

- Comment. It seems that he participated in all the more extensive articles about him. Accessibility and friendliness towards the press does not help establish notability. gidonb (talk) 23:38, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep per GNG. I'm having difficulty assessing the Dutch language sourcing, but I'm inclined to keep based on the filmography and English sourcing such as Gay Times. Also, I fully acknowledge rumors should not be taken into account, but multiple sources have speculated that the subject is set to appear on the upcoming 'international all stars' season within the Drag Race franchise. I think we should work to expand and not delete this entry. Also, the nominator's one (hyphenated) word nomination is not really an assessment of sourcing or a well thought out analysis... ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:32, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. Standalone articles about the subject include Gay Times (which states "Janey has proven to be one of the most formidable contestants in Drag Race’s ever-expanding history") here; Elle (combined article with one other drag queen) here; Noordhollands Dagblad here; and Nieuw Volendam (from 2019) here. Then of course there's dozens of articles assessing her appearance on RPDR combined with coverage of other queens. I agree with Another Believer that this article should be expanded, not deleted. --Kbabej (talk) 18:42, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

This article is about a non-notable "influencer" that was apparently accepted from AfC and then marked as reviewed at NPP, when it clearly was not in a state to be accepted, by NagalimNE. I tried searching for sources, as the ones in the article are merely trivial coverage, run-of-the-mill or otherwise entirely unreliable, and all that I could find was more run-of-the-mill coverage on minor incidents that do not establish notability per WP:BASIC. Also fails WP:ENT. JavaHurricane 07:50, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

- Comment I just did a quick google news search where I saw a good number of reliable sources that's why I accepted it. NagalimNE (talk) 08:48, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- None of which are reliable sources or significant coverage; most are run-of-the-mill sources which do not qualify as significant coverage. JavaHurricane 08:58, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Article about a new association football club, founded by a former Chievo player and director, which aims to be an informal successor of A.C. ChievoVerona and is going to play Terza Categoria, the very bottom tier of Italian amateur football (organized at provincial level), and definitely not a fact that makes the club notable. The club has no legal or formal connection to Chievo Verona, and no past history to justify it having its own article. Angelo (talk) 00:06, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

- Draftify as WP:TOOSOON. If the team should gain promotion to Seconda Categoria, I think that would be enough for notability but it's far too early as things stand. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:13, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- @No Great Shaker: Seconda Categoria is the 8th tier of Italian football; only clubs in the top 3 (sometimes 4) tiers compete in the domestic cup. The more probable outcome is that the next season they could try to buy a licence for Serie D, as A.S.D. Città di Varese have done for example. Nehme1499 13:25, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, Nehme. The thing is that we have articles for English clubs as far down as the tenth tier. A phoenix club in Italy would surely gain significant coverage if its team were successful in reaching the eighth tier so I think I'd like this to be saved as a draft until we see how they progress. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:39, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- @No Great Shaker: The difference is that there are about 160 clubs playing in the English 8th tier, whereas there are almost 3,000 playing in the Seconda Categoria. Nehme1499 01:02, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
