From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Caphadouk (talk | contribs) at 04:18, 8 March 2022 (Listing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Melody MacDonald.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to People. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary, it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|People|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to People.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

utterly non-notable CEO - no idea if the company is notable but she is not on her own - most sources are just passing mentions, co-written by Stefanova or press releases/interviews. Also worth noting this was previously created as Katina Stefanova by an undisclosed paid editor and subsequently salted by @MER-C:. CUPIDICAE💕 20:58, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, non-notable per the sourcing as detailed above. Also, I don't see why it would need draftifying, when Draft:Katina Stefanova already exists. Bishonen | tålk 09:40, 8 March 2022 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete per all of the above. Way below the line for WP:GNG and I can't really fathom what she is supposed to be notable FOR? The question usually is "does notability stack up?" here it seems to be "What is the notability?"  Velella  Velella Talk   21:46, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — non notable individual who lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them. Furthermore, this is something very advanced anti spam editors like Praxidicae already know, but for those not familiar with the laughable antics of Spam/UPE, editors, this gimmick, & this one too, are intentional gaslighting maneuvers intended to put Praxi or any editor querying their dubious edits on the defensive but unfortunately for them this isn’t Praxi's first rodeo. Furthermore @Kathyspikes no! nobody is draftyfing a non notable paid job. Furthermore this edit is disingenuous and borders on outrightly being mendacious as you are the article creator. Celestina007 (talk) 23:02, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The subject's prior job at Bridgewater does was not inherently notable, nor does the subsequent coverage of Marto Capital's gyrations confer biographical notability of any individual there. (The previous SALTing of the obvious article title should really be considered as extending to any bracketed titles that might be appended in further instances such as this.)

Reviewed the sources provided and I don't see enough external coverage of this subject to meet WP:GNG at this time. One local news item turned up in a Google search (along with a press release just come out today announcing he's signed with a talent agency). The local recognition doesn't seem to reach the bar of notability at this time. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:30, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please review the guidelines. Subject meets all notability qualifications and subject passes all 1-14 reasons for deletion. Uninvolved moderators usually do their due diligence. Thank you for your considerations.
General notability guideline
Shortcuts
WP:GNG
WP:SIGCOV
A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
"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.
The book-length history of IBM by Robert Sobel is plainly non-trivial coverage of IBM.
Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton, that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band.
"Reliable" means that sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.
"Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
"Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent.
"Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.
If a topic does not meet these criteria but still has some verifiable facts, it might be useful to discuss it within another article.
1.Content that meets at least one of the criteria for speedy deletion
2.Copyright violations and other material violating Wikipedia's non-free content criteria
3.Vandalism, including inflammatory redirects, pages that exist only to disparage their subject, patent nonsense, or gibberish
4.Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content
5.Content forks (unless a merger or redirect is appropriate)
6.Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and hoaxes
7.Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed
8.Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth)
9.Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons
10.Redundant or otherwise useless templates
11.Categories representing overcategorization
12.Files that are unused, obsolete, or violate the non-free policy
13.Any other use of the article, template, project, or user namespace that is contrary to the established separate policy for that namespace
14.Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia 2601:5C5:201:CB80:ED94:17F:37D4:DB25 (talk) 19:03, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I've removed the worst of the sources (Tumblr and Blogspot, for example. See WP:RSP). Then I removed the sources that didn't even mention him, which were at least three of them. What's left is paltry. The Curb Consulting Ventures, ng-check.com, and nigeria24.me sources are all routine company listings, which are examples of trivial coverage (see WP:CORPDEPTH). That leaves the Africa: Journal source, but it's behind a paywall so I cannot access it; and an interview in The Burg, which is therefore not independent. Basically, what's left is a CV for LinkedIn, not WP. --Kbabej (talk) 19:32, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Has been the source of some dispute, but when you dig deeper there's not really any significant coverage that suggests notability. Subject does not meet WP:NBASIC. ––FormalDude talk 13:32, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not very familiar with notability guidelines, but do this and this satisfy WP:NBASIC? Generalissimo Store (talk) 05:13, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Generalissimo Store: The first one does easily–I'll add it to the article. The second one, however, is an interview, so it is not independent and therefore does not count towards notability. ––FormalDude talk 05:39, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I took a look at most of the sources listed by WP:RSP as reliable, and a lot of them seem to have articles about George. 1 2 3 4 are about George's Haida experiment. 5 6 7 are also about it, but they seem a bit opinionated, and 8 explicitly references The Guardian in an earlier article about the subject. 9 is about an event instigated by George which is unrelated to the iron experiment, and 10 is an investigative article which seems to cover a great deal of George's career but does not come from a listed perennial source. Are any of these worth adding? Generalissimo Store (talk) 03:39, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
On first glance it looks like some of those are worth adding. I'll take a deeper look as soon as I have some more time. ––FormalDude talk 20:14, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've added those sources as they are reliable, but I'm still not sure that this article passes WP:BLP1E. ––FormalDude talk 20:18, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Would an added section on the Vatican Climate Forest (another initiative created by George) allow the article to pass that test? Generalissimo Store (talk) 21:31, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That would certainly help. ––FormalDude talk 21:42, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:JOURNALIST and WP:GNG. The article improperly cites primary sources produced by the subject to support most of its content. Most of this journalist's work was local and did not receive national attention, and a search for secondary sources that are primarily about Mora as a journalist was not fruitful.

The result was delete. Most of the Keep rationales are simply "it's notable" and I have concerns about some of the SPA issues (two of the users commenting have not been active for some while, on one case three years). However the biggest issue is that the article is simply the version deleted at the previous AfD with a very small section added about discovering a bug - it would not in my opinion have been wrong to actually speedy delete this as G4. When these issues are taken together, this pushes me towards closing this as Delete. Black Kite (talk) 13:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. If there are many more independent sources confirming importance and providing sufficient information to support content in an encyclopedia article, then the article can exist.

  • Delete (ref nums from this version) Refs 1 & 2 have identical opening paragraphs. Refs 3 and 10, while seemingly different from a vocabulary aspect, use an identical structure - covid, biz loss, "we had a chance to meet AutoForSure", quotes from founders, all in that same order. Thus none of these are independent. Ref 4 is an interview as every line is a quote. Refs 8 and 9 in Hindi again share the same structure. Note also that these articles are mostly from Jan 2021. All these along with Ref 5 are actually about the company and mentions of the subject are limited to quotes. Taken together, there is a strong hint of a coordinated marketing campaign by the company. The two remaining articles on bug-bounty cover the subject only briefly, telling us about the schools he attended. Whatever else search engines surface is similarly interviews or brief mentions. Hemantha (talk) 07:54, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keepstruck duplicate vote Comment: NDTV and CNBC doesn’t seem “copy” to me as said by nominee. CNBC was posted before NDTV India, and by the format and details mentioned in NDTV article, they both are entirely different. CNBC clearly discuss interests, past experiences, career life of him, and ends with how Discord exploit was found. Same topic was picked up by author Bikram, but was primarily focused on Discord. Yet did mentions the details and information about the subject which makes both the independent references valid and notable. OneIndia, Navbharat Times, and Zee news are some of the journalist written articles which do talk about the subject and prove notability. Ref 5 (NewsX) seems to be a post for company, but do mention basic details about the subject. If someone is running a company, there will be some articles about promoting the business. If we talk about the subject, article seems neutral and doesn’t sound promotional to me. Someone mentioned about references being posted on same month. As far I can see references are of different months, January, March, July, August, October, January’22. UA3 (talk) 12:36, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    CNBC and NDTV are refs 6 and 7 which I did not say were copies. I said their coverage of the subject was minimal, restricted to his schooling details. The claim that others are journalist written articles doesn't explain why they share sentences or the exact ordering of events. 5, out of the remaining 8 articles, are indeed from Jan 2021 ([3], [4], [5], [6], [7]). Hemantha (talk) 12:57, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Please read my 'delete' comment closely once more. Your objections do not appear to be based on anything I've written. Hemantha (talk) 12:58, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was mentioning user Laptopinmyhands as he believes refs 6 and 7 had the “same source”. As per him, CNBC copied the NDTV article. However, CNBC was the first one to publish this article. I don’t think so user Laptopinmyhands has gone through any references. If you go through his contributions, you will find out user has requested deletion of many different articles in a short period.

Anyways, ref 6 mentions more than just schooling details. You should give it a read again. I’ve gone through all the articles, and the events and details explained are not correlated. Every article talks something different about it. The founder quote seems to be similar in a few articles, a generic one. They look independent from each other to me. However, I’ll go through them once again and edit my comment. Coming to your doubt that the articles could be a coordinated marketing campaign, indeed 5 articles out of 10 seems to be posted in January, dates are different from each other. Usually, marketing campaign articles are posted altogether, on a similar date +/- a day. If so, websites do mention the article being a advertisement/marketing post. Zee News, Amar Ujala, Navbharat Times are posted by journalists, not sure why an author would take up part in a marketing campaign. To me, the article sounds neutral and there is nothing promotional in it. I’m not sure why someone would run a marketing campaign to publish articles with no promotional/advertising intentions. In my opinion, this is just another poor case of nomination. UA3 (talk) 13:58, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]


  • Comment. This is not a poor case of nomination. Your logic is flawed and your two times vote of keep is concerning. I read everything.

[8] No journalist credited. Very little information about Sarthak. Not independent. Not significant. [9] No journalist credited. Very little information about Sarthak. Not independent. Not significant. [10] Not about him. Not significant. [11] No journalist credited. Sarthak is mostly talking himself in quotes. Not independent. [12] No journalist credited. Very little information about Sarthak. Not independent. Not significant. [13] I agree that it is one source [14] Headline is about him but the text is not. [15] It might look like a good source. But read the last paragraph. It’s rubbish. Makes no sense. Looks like bad machine translation of some english content. No journalist who is native Hindi will write this. I fail to believe it is independent. [16] No journalist credited. Article doesn’t even make sense. Starts randomly with generic information about pandemic and then mentions some study. Again some cut copy paste from somewhere else

Even if there is a journalist credited, the way content is written, it is very clear that it was influenced. And that’s what is central to an ‘independent source’ from what I read in policy. Just because there is a journalist name, source doesn’t always become independent. This is also important here because there are so many sources with no journalist name, it means, even other sources should be read with caution. This is not a notable person because the sources are not independent. Laptopinmyhands (talk) 02:49, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Don’t worry, vote will be counted once. There is nothing to be concerned about. I still believe you did not read any references carefully. In your comment, Ref 8 (Zee news) you’ve said, Not about him. Not significant. What do you mean by “Not about him”? The article clearly mentions his name in the headline, I can see his picture in this article. The article content indeed reads information about him and the company. Ref 12 (Navbharat Times) Headline is about him but the text is not. A quick google translation of content can give you a brief idea that the complete article is based on him; text, as well as the headline, is about him. Please go through it again. Possibly you were reading Navbharat's article through phone, for me full content was not visible when visited through the phone. Try visiting this link from a Desktop. Ref 13 (Amar Ujala) It is indeed a good source, if some text appears to be rubbish, and makes no sense to you that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be useful to others. This is your opinion about the reference, and it doesn’t rule out the reliability of the reference. To me, it is a good independent piece of work. Ref 6 (OneIndia) is a journalist written article, there seems to be a glitch in their website where the name is not visible now. I took the Journalist's name from Wikipedia reference and checked his OneIndia’s profile. I did scroll back down to Aug 2021 and found the article under his author profile. I took a screenshot to save your time, do refer [17]. There is enough information mentioned and is independent.
Cut copy paste from where? You have vaguely stated “Not independent. Not significant.” to references without even discussing them and what is wrong. I remember your comment, NDTV article was a minor event and how CNBC was a copy of NDTV India. Once it was proved false, it seems a fair source to you. I still firmly believe this is a poor case of nomination. UA3 (talk) 08:05, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This was nominated for deletion in 2006 and the result was "no consensus". I do not think that this article demonstrates notability per WP:GNG or WP:BIO. He was a contestant on a dance show but did not win (he was in the top 12). He has appeared in some shows here and there, but not as a significant character. He also participated in a track meet and tied for 8th place. The sources are a couple of local newspapers, a blog that offers to interview people, and some other articles where he is not the main focus. There is one short article about him in the Calgary Sun, a recap of one of the dance show episodes. A Google search comes up with fewer than 100 results (which includes Wikipedia mirrors). ... discospinster talk 23:55, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article was created today in an apparent attempt to smear Archer and Hunter Biden, and the article creator included a new reference to Archer in the lead of Biden's BLP to insinuate guilt by association.

I have not paid for article dear Ravensfire i just tried my best to put all reliable source but it seems that suspision is a big issue on article made through afd editors are not searching for the article sources on google i think just giving there feedback the actor did lead roles in the project and did prominent characters in tv & films and have relevant media source on main stream media and the article on pinkvilla and its content from the heading to the last is different that why i used that for reference and pinkvilla is a mainstream media of bollywood film industry they only publish article for notable actors not for everyone i have search google news about the aamir rafiq actor its quite decent and cover by good news channel of tv and film industry he have been part of big bollywood films and did good character — Preceding unsigned comment added by Odlwcsu (talkcontribs) 15:50, 4 March 2022 (UTC) Keep: i believe that article has enough news sources on reliable main stream media which easily qualify {wp:actor} category and notability [1][2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Odlwcsu (talkcontribs) 16:43, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I'm actually seeing a lot of coverage in 1956 on newspapers.com, but it's mostly AP wire stories (or modified AP wire stories). A bunch of newspapers reporting that he refused to testify in front of congress, pleading a bunch of amendments, is clear WP:BIO1E. WP:SUSTAINED notes that If reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual. The lack of any meaningful follow-up in the 66 years since his testimony from anyone other than his cousin shows that reliable sources only cover him in the context of a single event. Since he remained low-profile throughout his life, I see no compelling reason to consider him notable. — Mhawk10 (talk) 22:20, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This is difficult. In theory, the sources are reliable, in depth and plenty of them written by staff writers. My worry is with the reasons of coverage. Every year, UPSC will have top 1,2 and 3. I think he has got more coverage because there is a Kashmir angle. Further to that, I feel, a lot of these are announcements of his appointments. I am finding it difficult to spot coverage that discusses his work in a way that it would distinguish him from his peer IAS officers. Divorce related news has no merit. I don't even know why they are following and talking about his divorce. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 15:53, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree:
    • For UPSC rank, his preceding ranker (AIR 1) in the same year (Ms. Tina Dabi's) article has been deleted, as here.
    • For marriage, his wife and better UPSC rank holder, Ms. Tina Dabi's article has been deleted, as here.
    • For divorce, the other party to the divorce, also the party to the marraige, and better rank holder, Ms. Tina Dabi's article has been deleted, as here.
    As for references supplied, however reliable sources they might be, they appear each year in same volumes for each topper of almost all major national exams. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 20:01, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Sourcing here is impeccable and hasn't been questioned yet. Whatever the underlying reasons (a "marketing" angle isn't readily evident), the coverage is indeed significant enough. Tina Dabi's article was deleted in 2016/17 when a couple of these newer articles hadn't appeared. The articles that appear in same volumes in each year, are clearly about different persons with obviously different details - that's like arguing a film is reviewed in review section every day, so all of them should be ignored. Hemantha (talk) 03:28, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV. We have to be very careful using media sources from India because the standards of journalist integrity are not the same as in the West. The sources provided above by Hemantha are unreliable as these publications often take money from the subjects themselves to induce them to write the articles. They therefore lack independence even though they have bylined authors. Further, even if this was not the case its clear that these sources have quality issues per WP:TABLOID.4meter4 (talk) 18:16, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If you have anything more than your own claim that WP:THEHINDU and WP:INDIANEXP take money from subjects, I invite you to add it to Paid_news_in_India and raise it in WP:RSN so that their green "generally reliable" entries in WP:RSP may be downgraded. Hemantha (talk) 03:51, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I may do that. Even if they are independent though, the style of journalism is akin to tabloid style press in the United States which is not significant for establishing notability. We need better quality sources than these. WP:NOTNEWS/ WP:NOTGOSSIP applies.4meter4 (talk) 04:46, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
NOTNEWS focuses on events and about what kind of details are covered in an article. It has nothing to say about determining notability. In other words, it is a policy about what to include in an article once it is decided that an article should exist. The determination of whether an article should exist is being made here and for that WP:GNG (and other notability guidelines) apply.
My claim is not that the article should be written based only on the links above; my claim is that given the above references, the subject is notable per WP:GNG. WP:NOTNEWS doesn't in anyway refute that argument. The purpose of AfD is not to exhaustively list all possible references on which the article can be written; it's only to bring forth evidence of notability per GNG or other SNG. Hemantha (talk) 10:07, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are missing my point. Tabloid press like this is trivial coverage (as confirmed by NOTNEWS); thereby failing the "significant coverage" portion of WP:GNG.4meter4 (talk) 15:51, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The only source in the article is not independent. It's an obituary written by the brother and a friend of the subject.

Comment/question Is my understanding of previously established consensus correct: that family submitted death notices in local papers are not considered reliable sources, but major write ups in national newspapers do have editorial oversight and therefore are considered reliable sources? (based on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard/Archive_1#Obituaries)? CT55555 (talk) 17:58, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Any kind of article published in a reliable source subject to editorial control may be valid as a source, but if it's authors are related to the subject (Brother and friend) it is not independent and therefore does not help establish notability and does not contribute towards meeting WP:GNG. The second source you added includes only a mere mention of the name in a list. It does not qualify as significant coverage. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:26, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'd advise the creator of this article to move it into draft, try to find some reliable, secondary sources that back up the museum founding or other work, and if you can find, move to main space. This is one of those scenarios where it seems like she should be notable, but we need at least more source or sources. I agree with Crystallizedcarbon above that my second citation isn't useful for notability, just fact verification. I respect the point that the obituary is not independent, but I do think that an obituary published in a national newspaper has some editorial oversight and should not be discounted as if it were a simple death notice.

  • Delete reluctantly. While I'm all for the Women In Red Project, I'm surprised by this article getting through. It was clearly at the draft stage and even with the one obituary source from the Scotsman (regardless of the author) it doesn't meet WP:N. A lack of sufficient coverage, a lack of sources, etc. Which is a shame because while this woman contributed to the cultural history of Scotland, it's not enough to keep the article on Wikipedia.

The result was no consensus. There is clearly no consensus here in this divided discussion. Liz Read! Talk! 22:51, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, half the editors say that WP:NFOOTY has been met while the other half say that WP:GNG is not met. Although there is a recent RFC challenging sports notability criteria, I'm not willing today to disregard arguments based on a long-standing notability guideline even if it is in the process of being reframed and rewritten. So, I came down as No Consensus, rather than leaning toward Keep (prioritizing WP:NFOOTY) or Delete (prioritizing WP:GNG). Of course this decision doesn't prevent future AFDs for this article which might result in a more decisive outcome. Liz Read! Talk! 00:30, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This topic fails WP:GNG. On its face this topic satisfies WP:NFOOT, but as WP:NSPORTS notes this is not a substitute for the GNG. My WP:BEFORE is only turning up sports database entries (so far the article is sourced to one such database entry) and a few sporadic mentions such as this, with no significant coverage. -Indy beetle (talk) 00:12, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Joseph2302: @GiantSnowman: I was hoping this would not be taken in bad faith. Half of what I write about is about African topics.... like look at my user page, I've written most of the GAs and the only FA under the Burundi topic area. While doing my BEFORE checking I looked at one of the other new female Burundian footballer articles, Asha Djafari, for reference, and she has much more mentions in sports coverage (much of it routine, granted) that could be used to improve that article. Not so with Bukuru. I don't see how creating bunches of permastubs fixes any systemic issues. It just drags down the average quality of articles on African women even further with, as my BEFORE for this article suggests, no room for improvement. Burundi has a small media footprint but most of their publications cover sports (Iwacu, Le Renouveau, Jimbere Magazine, for example), especially soccer. I've searched all three (Jimbere is expressly focused on women's issues and likes to follow what the women's national football team are up to) and found nothing. Maybe we should consider that the Burundian media didn't consider this person that important. In the intro to BIAS it reads Wikipedia tends to show a White American or White European perspective on issues due to the prominence of English-speaking editors from Anglophone countries. So how is it BIASed to delete this subject if the black African-run sources from Burundi don't consider this important? Too many European male players is not what's being debated here and is a separate issue. I hope the closer will note too that BIAS is not a policy-based reason for deletion. To the "Ongoing career" argument all I have to say is that is not a policy-based reason either and WP:TOOSOON. -Indy beetle (talk) 10:43, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

      • WP:NFOOTY: Association football (soccer) figures are presumed notable if they meet the following: 1. Players who have played in, and managers who have managed in, any Tier 1 International Match as defined by FIFA Which they have done. And we shouldn't be randomly picking off international footballers from less well represented countries- I've never seen an international male, European footballer nominated successfully for deletion. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:57, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • To quote the explanatory notes at the top of WP:NSPORTS, of which WP:NFOOTY is a part: The topic-specific notability guidelines described on this page do not replace the general notability guideline. They are intended only to stop an article from being quickly deleted when there is very strong reason to believe that significant, independent, non-routine, non-promotional secondary coverage from multiple reliable sources is available, given sufficient time to locate it. Wikipedia's standard for including an article about a given person is not based on whether or not they have attained certain achievements, but on whether or not the person has received appropriate coverage in reliable sources, in accordance with the general notability guideline. Also refer to Wikipedia's basic guidance on the notability of people for additional information on evaluating notability. The reasoning "Keep because international footballer" stands in direct opposition to this guidance. Complaints about international male European footballers is textbook WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If they bother you, go AfD them. I noticed this article because I work with Burundi topics. As I said above, this was not "random", this was because this player (unlike some other Burundian footballers) seems to have almost zero SIGCOV footprint in RS. Also it is factually incorrect that "not much of [Burundi's] newspaper coverage is online". Most of it actually is, because a lot of their market is Burundian expats in other countries (particularly for Iwacu, the only private newspaper). But I'm humoured to be accused of BIAS. Because the Western editors (according to userpages) voting keep here and so worried about BIAS seem to think that they know better about what Burundi should value than the Burundian media market! How progressive! My sarcasm aside, I will happily withdraw this AfD if sources are provided to demonstrate this person's notability. -Indy beetle (talk) 15:38, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Per Indy beetle's explanation of the lack of Burundian coverage and the hubris of assuming women's football is given the same degree of attention and importance there as it is in (some) Western nations. !Voting just "keep, meets NFOOTY" is only defensible if the deletion rationale does not address that point; since it does, and instead raises the lack of GNG, per NSPORT those wanting to keep should provide evidence for the implicit claim there is very strong reason to believe that significant, independent, non-routine, non-promotional secondary coverage from multiple reliable sources is available. JoelleJay (talk) 23:49, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Merge and redirect to a suitable list article (e.g. List of Burundi women's international footballers if such a list existed – Burundi women's national football team is not a suitable target because she will almost certainly not always be mentioned there). This stub is a prime example of WP:WHYN, and it fails comprehensively. In cases such as these, barely meeting the SNG is not enough; successive RFCs have also reaffirmed community consensus that GNG must be met in the case of NSPORT. Essentially, the presumption of notability offered by NFOOTBALL is no longer valid without significant coverage from independent secondary reliable sources. Ultimately, we need significant coverage in order to write an article; none has been found here, and that is most likely because none exists. As for BIAS, artificially boosting article count is not the solution – creating quality content is; having countless junk database-entry-type biographies containing nothing but statistics is not the way to counter systemic bias, and if anything it makes the situation worse. Bare statistical information (which is all we have) is better presented in lists. wjematherplease leave a message... 10:33, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    IMO the 'current squad' does indeed work as a possible target, for the very rationale offered above: she's a currently active international player, whose notability and coverage may consequently increase, rather than being limited to that stemming for her current appearances. If that doesn't happen, the 'disappearing target' is less of an issue. But it's not a hill I'm planning on dying on, and I'd be perfectly happy with the above list article too. I also agree that this is outside the strict focus of WP:BIAS -- which is a) an essay, and b) written in terms of counteracting Wikipedia's own internal biases, not the biases of the internet, sources, and indeed of the world generally. If only we could fix those with some web edits. If we intend to have some sort of CSB presumption-slack on those wider lines, we need to set that out in terms in a guideline somewhere, not by setting peephole precedents. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 01:31, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As soon as she is not selected, the current squad is no longer a suitable target, and a target with an expiration date is not a valid one when there are good alternatives (even if they don't currently exist). wjematherplease leave a message... 09:17, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is an interesting dilemma. Reading the article and looking through the references provided, there's definitely an interesting story here - the subject has quite a background, has faced some fascinating challenges, and totally deserves the attention he gets from local media in his region. Having said that, his music itself has very little external attention that I can find. I don't know that any level of work could lift this to a level at which it would meet notability guidelines for musicians, unfortunately. Regional notability in this case doesn't hit the mark.

I'd like to think that a newspaper, tabloid or not, with 200k circulation may be worth mentioning. In relation to specifically the West Ham stuff there is also this from the Evening Standard as well. Also, the WSJ is not a press release with the exact same wording some of these stories specifically say "the Wall Street Journal reported (ex)" and it was written by one of their journalists (profile here). Also how do you know if Sky Sports is a press release? It looks like a standard wire service writeup to me and I don't see any disclosure. As for Bloomberg, the fund was named "Atlantic Park", so I don't think that the article just says that there is a fund named after him and the article about him leaving was written by a senior reporter at that outlet and in what way does it being about the subject leaving his position make any less notability-lending?

  • Weak keep. After making full use of the cited sources and unraveling the article into a coherent account of his career, then searching for additional sources to fill out the biography and finding only a page at his school (the major part of which is audio, so I cannot hear it) and no extended articles about him in the financial press, I came here to say that in my estimation he just clears the notability threshhold (there is coverage of multiple points in his career: co-founding and continuing as a top-level executive at GSO as it grew; second of the 3 founders to leave; foundation of Iron Park and its participating in a major joint venture; buying into West Ham and rumors about take-over plans, and I was able to pick and choose among sources to cite at many points, but one of his co-founders has more press) but that there is almost no biographical information available: I had a rough date of birth and a high school, that was it. But then I saw the South Bend Tribune reference listed above. With that, I believe the article meets the bare minimum requirements: multiple reliable sources reporting on his career over several years, and just enough info about the person to make a useful biography.

This is not a sponcon piece. The paper's source for this story also seems to be the University itself, not a PR agency.

This is still a wild misrepresentation of referencing. Writing off references about him leaving his firm as if that is something that happens for everyone and calling an article where his name is literally in the title with multiple mentions as "passing mention" is absurd. Also, the same wording rationale is not even close. I guess staff write-ups and legitimate news wire services such as the Associated Press and Reuters (which are very commonly used in sports coverage) simply do not exist. His buying a stake in the club was clearly a newsworthy event. Call it all incidental news not leading to notability when he is the reason for multiple incidents across multiple years that are covered by reliable sources. Also, what is my or Yngvadottir's, Lkb335's "objective" here? What nefarious reasons are there for keeping an objective article where reliable sourcing has been presented?

Does anyone here have access to the full Wall Street Journal article? Even in the blurb available without signing in, it mentions Smith in the headline and twice in the article body and so "Passing mention" isn't an accurate summary of the source. NemesisAT (talk) 14:27, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have access through PROQUEST. I agree that it's significant coverage and is non-trivial. Additionally, there are other WSJ articles in which he is in the headline and with nontrivial coverage. See Miriam Gottfried (April 15, 2020). "Fund to Help Companies Facing Distress From the Pandemic; General Atlantic is forming a joint venture with Tripp Smith". The Wall Street Journal. p. B11.4meter4 (talk) 20:15, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The reference above about General Atlantic is forming a joint venture with Tripp Smith comes from a press-release. The whole thing is all driven from press-release and PR. scope_creepTalk 14:55, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's a bylined authored article in a major newspaper. Articles with named bylined journalists (in this case journalist Miriam Gottfried) are not "press releases" no matter how much you want to misconstrue them as such. This was not a pre-packaged story but one written by a WSJ staff journalist. 4meter4 (talk) 01:47, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with 4meter4 the press release argument has now been debunked by multiple editors at this point. It would appear that the nominator also believes that this article was created by a UPE, which I'm not seeing at all given they edit mostly on football-related topics and has given the incredibly plausible explanation that they created the article because Smith became an owner of West Ham United and likely reverted the redirect later on after Smith's alleged attempt to take the club over. Best, GPL93 (talk) 02:27, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing routine about someone becoming an owner of an EPL club (The Sky Sports staff report & the Financial Times report by journalists with bylines), attempting to take control of said club, or making a $15 million donation (SBT), that's just not stuff "local man" does. Generally speaking when people, even high-ranking executives, leave their position a news outlet like Bloomberg does not have senior reporters write about it or the Financial News have an editor (which was the title the FN article author, Fareed Sahloul, had at the time according to LinkedIn) report on it. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:30, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That is the most spurious argument and a complete lie. All billionares are followed by newspapers and any billionaire who runs a hedge fund are followed religiously particularly by the financial newspapers, as in this case. Most of the stuff that is reported is routine coverage that every billionare gets. So far on this there is.
  1. Secondary source written by Miriam on a partner deal.
  2. A source that is the $15million contribution. That is routine coverage.
  3. Routine coverage about leaving the job.

That is your argument. None of that constitutes the WP:THREE requirement for three secondary sources which is the usual standard at Afd, except the first one. Secondly don't speak about UPE. You have no experience of it and it makes like a fool when you say things like that. Lastly if it is the case of No Consensus then in 6 months time I will be nominating it again, until I see at least three secondary sources. scope_creepTalk 14:54, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do have experience dealing with UPEs and there are editors/admins that can attest to that. I am an editor with several years of history and in good standing so why would you make a personal attack like that? Your general lack of civility and assumption of good faith towards other editors has been unacceptable when it comes to this subject and you've now essentially admitted that you cannot remain impartial. GPL93 (talk) 15:19, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Let's calm things down a bit. Multiple editors are using language that is not necessarily appropriate for what should be a fairly routine discussion on an article--impugning someone's motive or character for suggesting deletion or keep is not acceptable in this context. Maybe it would be best if everyone just stepped away from the discussion for a day or two.
Best, Lkb335 (talk) 15:27, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Lkb335 I agree. At this point, I think it's best to just drop things for now as nothing new is being added to this AfD by either of us and neither of us are going to change our interpretations of the referencing. Thank you for stepping in to diffuse things and thank you everyone for participating in this AfD. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:41, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I just wanted to clarify that there are two secondary sources written by Miriam Gottfried in the WSJ, not one. One is from February 24, 2022 (cited in the article) and the other is the April 15, 2020 article given above. Both of these are independent significant secondary sources, and demonstrate WP:SUSTAINED coverage. Best.4meter4 (talk) 19:56, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Prong (band) not enough sourcing to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi. I don’t believe the pge should be deleted. What I do believe is taht the artists should be able to run their own pages. Because there are so many people that can access and write whatever they want. All I believe that there are people who are violent criminals on Wikipedia that shouldn’t have pages. Taht are still acting as violent criminals. I won’t put the name here. But I read about a drummer yesterday that has murdered multiple people. And I read it here. People are so desperate to be featured on a website. We should talk about the good people do for the world. Also like I said many of us have Covid with severe neurological symptoms. And we’re very confused. Plus there are fake webpages made just to slander. That people use to edit these pages as reference. I don’t think they should be taken down. But I definitely think you should stop sharing IP addresses. Anyone else that had a leapfrog can track an IPaddress. And some fans are so obsessed that if you don’t like their band they will hurt you or your family. It’s trying that society is like this. Feel taht at this point in Time there is so little to look forward to. A beacon of light and hope because wall they have. Many people look up to Jason because of his past struggles and his will to do better in life. Same as Courtney love. They aren’t bullies. They are underdogs with hard luck stories. That we want to see survive. Because it gives society hope. And someone to look up to. Thank you for your time in this matter.

Also I was hacked. So personal stuff has been sent out from my private accounts. As I’m sure many have. It’s been daunting on all of us. It’s unfortunate that people thought that during such a hard time on the citizens of the world that mental abuse would be funny or help them in some way. Keep your heads up guys. And cute babydolls. We can do this.

Also Sky quit being rude. We know it’s you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8801:1296:8A00:A946:9563:95CF:E897 (talk) 16:59, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the sources are "Lost in the Cloud", which appears to be a personal blog. The others are random listicles about "viral" sheet music that only mention Stump/Faerie's Aire in passing and point out how funny and impossible it is, along with YouTube videos of people "attempting" to play it and then meta-commentaries from said listicles on the same. Nothing in this article whatsoever constitutes a reliable source. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 18:52, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Sdkb: Obituaries are not significant coverage. Lots of people get obits, including my dad. That doesn't make them notable. Especially concerning is that I can't find the obit anywhere other than on the blog. Notability does not equal "everyone in high school music class has seen this". The "American Myths, Legends, and Tall Tales" coverage doesn't even amount to a full sentence and only name-drops Stump in reference to another composer. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 21:57, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Paid obituaries don't count; reported obituaries do. This one was written by the publisher of the Glendale Focus, with the only complication being that the publisher knew Stump (being unable to find a copy of the newspaper is immaterial unless you wish to dispute its veracity). If you'd prefer something completely independent, I just found and added this:
    Regarding An Encyclopedia of American Folklore, I think you must've just read the first sentence—there's significantly more coverage of him and Faerie's Aire farther down. Given the new sourcing, I'm dropping "weak" from my !vote. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 07:47, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The newspaper piece you added appears to be an editorial with a personally invested tone, which does not constitute WP:SIGCOV. It's just one random person, who may not even be a journalist, reminiscing on it. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 19:12, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No, industry fluff does not count towards notability at all, this has been well-established in dozens and dozens of pornography deletion discussions. Second, the Village Voice article no longer seems to exist. There's an XBiz article about the supposed VV profile, and this forum post is allegedly by the author saying it was coming out in VV soon, but it is curious that it cannot be found in any archive or reprint. It's only from 2006, not like we're trying to track down something from the 70s here. Even if located, it would only be a single, possible source. Still short of notability requirements.
