- Delete very much an overly promotional article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:37, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, I am not convinced he is sufficiently notable. Even if he were, I think the article would need significantly trimming anyway to remove the fluff like "Ssenkaayi is a dynamic personality and highly-sought-after resource in both corporate and non-corporate initiatives". This is essentially an advert and not appropriate for an article. Bungle (talk • contribs) 14:23, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

WP:BEFORE yields no reliable sources and mainly irrelevant news articles when searched in news on Google. I have a feeling there might be some sources out there but I cannot find any. Maybe this should be merged with Thomas Lang. Waddles 🗩 🖉 23:36, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- This event has existed for 10 years and has been written about in every drumming magazine in the world multiple times. The sources which cover it (i.e. Drums & Percussion, Rhythem, Drumhead, Drum! magazine, etc.,) are global publications, and it is typical of these magazines to withhold print copy from online because it devalues content.
- This event has existed as a "redirect" to Thomas Lang's page for a decade because he was the host. He has no affiliation with the event other than as a host and a performer. The event deserves its own page. Unsure what you mean by "irrelevant" news articles. The news articles and announcements which exist online after most of the drumming publications folded in the past few years are the ones which remain accessible to cite.

- I can't found enough independent and reliable coverage of the show. WP:CORPDEPTH: the depth of coverage is not sufficient. In my opinion, any worthwhile show needs a significant amount of reviews and news. But this fact does not apply Big Drum Bonanza. --Mestrossino (talk) 09:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Non-notable game with only three refs, the first one is potentially reliable, but the editor is also a prominent contributor to BGG (https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/boardgamegeek-news), which according to the Wikiproject Board Games is an unreliable blog. The second ref is not independent, and the third one is too unreliable. Upon a search, I could not find any awards or reliable refs covering this, hence listing this at AfD as there are not multiple reliable independent sources. Thanks! VickKiang (talk) 23:10, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- There are certainly more references out there: https://www.dicetower.com/game/67285/armorica
- Is there clear criteria for which board games should get articles and which should not?
- I feel like having Amorica relevant to understanding Vogel's progress as a game designer working up to his more successful/award winning titles (dresden files and kitara)

- I disagree, BGG and The Dice Tower (the latter I also subscribe to) are self-published (please see Wikiproject) and unreliable. IMO an article needs more reliable sources with editorial control. Replying to the other comment, I do not think so, although in my opinion an article should be all right if it has two multiple, reliable, indepedent sources, or won (or is nominated) to a SdJ. While I could concur that this is "relevant to understanding Vogel's progress as a game designer", unless you provide more reliable refs, I am unconvinced that this is notable. Many thanks for your time and help! VickKiang (talk) 23:35, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Delete or merge&redrect to Eric B. Vogel. The article as written fails WP:GNG (we don't have a Wikipedia:Notablity (games), at best, Wikipedia:Notability (products) can offer some futher insight. Is The Dice Tower video review reliable? They are high profile, but not high enough to prevent the article about this show from being merged to the stubby biography of the podcasdter in 2018 (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Dice Tower (2nd nomination)). Unless we can find more high profile reviews or awards (BGG shows nothing), this is not a notable game. At best we can merge the one liner description of the game to the designer, who has a page (although whether he meets WP:NBIO, that's another discussion): Eric B. Vogel --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:50, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- I subscribe to loads of YouTube channels on games, namely SUSD (which I am more familiar with) and Watch it Played; I probably subscribed to Dice Tower sometime ago, or came across on BGG but think all of these are well known and review thousands of games in total! But all of these Youtube channels are probably unreliable, much less notable IMO, so I agree with your assessment. VickKiang (talk) 08:59, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

- A number of reviews are listed here: [1]. That said, I'm fine with a merge to the author. Hobit (talk) 10:52, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Also, while Dice Tower has mostly one face, it's a pretty big organiation at this point. [2]. It's also widely respected in the field. I'd say it is very reliable in its area (board games etc.). Hobit (talk) 10:58, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Your point is interesting, but below is a source table; at best, there's one source meeting GNG, and two unsures, so merging or deleting are both fine to me.
Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
https://www.rollthedice.nl/ | Indepedent. | The source is a board game association, but doesn't seem to have editorial policies. | The source covers the subject in detail. | ? Unknown |
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/keirat/txt/A/Armorica.html | It's indepedent (?) but sponsored ("Many thanks to Vainglorious Games for sending us a review copy!") | Self-published blog, dated design, not reliable. | The source covers the subject in detail. | ✘ No |
https://rivcoach.wordpress.com/2010/09/25/review-armorica-by-vainglorius-games/ | It's indepedent probably, but the site's deleted. | Deleted self-published site on Wordpress | The article could not be opened (as "rivcoach.wordpress.com is no longer available"). | ✘ No |
https://www.jedisjeux.net/jeux-de-societe/ | The subject is indepedent. | An association that seems reliable enough, but somehow Google translate doesn't work well, and as I can't read French, I am not sure whether there's an editorial policy. But it's all right and probably reliable. | The article discusses the subject in detail. | ✔ Yes |
http://detafelplakt.skynetblogs.be/archive/2010/07/20/kleine-dingen.html | The subject is indepedent presumably, though it can't be accessed on my laptop. | Blog, also couldn't be opened on my laptop. | Ref couldn't be accessed for me, but it's unreliable as it's a self-published blog. | ✘ No |
http://spotlightongames.com/list/nights/a.html#armorica | The subject is indepedent. | Self-published, no editorial policies. | Short, but in-depth enough. | ✘ No |
https://www.dicetower.com/game/67285/armorica | The subject is indepedent. | YouTube channel turned into webpage, marginally reliable for mundane coverage, including gameplay, release date, publisher..., generally unreliable for subjective reviews, and doesn't contribute to GNG as it's routine. | Long review. | ✘ No |
http://www.boardgamenews.com/index.php/boardgamenews/comments/bring_gauls_and_romans_together_in_armorica/ | The subject is indepedent. | It seems to have about section and an editor, but the author now posts on BGG, which isn't reliable. | Fairly long article. | ? Unknown |
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}. |
The other refs, including BGG link and the publisher's link, are clearly unreliable. VickKiang (talk) 22:28, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- I largely agree with you other than Dice Tower. That it started on YouTube as a one-person show doesn't really matter--it's a non-trivial company at this point, probably the leading English-language board game review site in the world. But it doesn't really matter in this case given we both want the same outcome. Hobit (talk) 10:20, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Non-notable subject that does not meet WP:BASIC. WP:BEFORE searches for independent, reliable sources have yielded virtually nothing except for one name check in a directory listing. The two primary sources in the article and found in searches do not serve to establish notability, and I am unable to access the almanac listing in the article. Even if the almanac listing provides significant coverage, it is still only one source, and nothing else appears to exist. North America1000 20:03, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. There's a Master's thesis here[12] that mentions him briefly, but which also refers us to a number of other sources regarding the early history of the LDS Church in Russia: "See Kahlile B. Mehr, “Johan and Alma Lindolf: Early Saints in Russia,” Ensign (July 1981): 23-24; Kahlile B. Mehr, “The 1903 Dedication of Russia for Missionary Work,” Journal of Mormon History 13 (1986-87): 110-123; Kahlile B. Mehr, Mormon Missionaries Enter Eastern Europe (Salt Lake City, Utah: Deseret Book, 2002); Gary Browning, Russia and the Restored Gospel (Salt Lake City, Utah: Deseret Book, 1997), and E. A. Eliason and Gary Browning, “Crypto-Mormons or Pseudo-Mormons? Latter-day Saints and Russia’s Indigenous New Religious Movements,” Western Folklore 61, no. 2 (2002): 173-207." There's also a Desert News article from 1991 here[13]. Also here in a book from Brigham Young University Press[14].Jahaza (talk) 20:37, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- That Journal of Mormon History article is here[15].Jahaza (talk) 20:42, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment – Below is a partial source review. If possible, Jahaza, could you provide links for the unlinked sources above? North America1000 20:57, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
References
- The thesis contains one very short footnote sentence about the subject, stating, "August J. Hoglund to Anthon H. Lund, 18 June 1895, Millennial Star 57 (27 June 1895): 414.". This is not significant coverage, and theses and dissertations are questionable as being usable on Wikipedia to qualify notability.
- That is incorrect. Page 49 of the thesis discusses August Hoglund and states that the topic of Hoglund's trip to St. Petersburg has been covered elsewhere and provides the footnote I reproduced above. The thesis was later published as an article in The Journal of Mormon History[16]Jahaza (talk) 00:21, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- The Deseret News article contains two short sentences about he subject, stating, "In 1895, Elder August Joel Hoglund, a native of Sweden, was sent to St. Petersburg, Russia, where he arrived June 9. He met with the Johan M. Lindelof family and baptized Johan and his wife, Alma, on June 11 in the river Neva." This is not significant coverage, and is essentially routine reporting.
- This isn't routine reporting per WP:ROUTINE, which is things like announcements, weddings, community meetings, store openings, etc. it's the opposite actually, it's an article written in 1991 about about a historical event that shows interest in the topic persisting long after its occurrence.--Jahaza (talk) 00:21, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Mormon Missionaries Enter Eastern Europe only provides snippet views, but it doesn't seem that there is significant coverage there. Snippet views will often highlight several name mentions when they are present, but there are only two there.
- Ensign (LDS magazine) is a primary source that is not usable to establish notability. It was an an official periodical of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
- I cannot access the Journal of Mormon History article. Does this contain significant coverage, or is this also only a passing mention?
- Browning, Russia and the Restored Gospel is available here[17] with a page on Hoglund's trip to Russia and his observations there.
- To be frank, this is time-wasting quibbling. There's verifiable history here and really no debate about that. Your original deletion argument rested largely on the fact that you couldn't access the source cited in the article and so it could be discounted, not a good argument and on the fact that you couldn't find any other sources beyond one name check in a directory, but it was very easy to turn up articles, papers, and books discussing the man. If you don't think he's notable enough, just redirect it to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Russia, where he's already mentioned. There's really no reason to not make it a redirect as he's consistently mentioned in LDS materials and materials about the LDS Church in Russia (see, e.g. this Vice interview[18]), making his name a plausible redirect to the article where he's mentioned.--Jahaza (talk) 00:21, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- It turns out if you google "2007 Deseret Morning News Church Almanac" the Internet Archive scan is high up in the results, with one sentence on Hoglund.[19]. Obviously that's not enough to make an article out of, but I think it's signifigant for his notability that he shows up in a source like that in the compressed history of the LDS Church in that country, like an early missionary or proto-martyr from the Catholic Church would.--Jahaza (talk) 00:32, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

- Thanks for the information. Coverage of the subject that is viewable is very scant; there is no significant coverage at all among viewable sources. I also seriously doubt that Mormon Missionaries Enter Eastern Europe contains more than just a couple of sentences or so. Just because a subject is verifiable does not mean that they are automatically notable per Wikipedia's standards. However, I am fine with a redirect to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Russia. North America1000 18:22, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect or delete as has been discussed. I took a look at the Journal of Mormon History reference, and similar to the other sources this individual doesn't get more than a one or two sentence mention. Could definitely be used in the main Russia article, but not notable enough for its own. Rollidan (talk) 21:31, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

- I approached this with every intention to dispute suggestions for deletion since AH was "the first" in something but after I went through the sources proffered above by Jahaza I saw they're mostly about, as Jahaza put it, "the early history of the LDS Church in Russia" and not about our subject. There is no defensible independent notability.

Relisting comment: There is a merger tag down here at the bottom of the AFD but I don't see a wellspring of support for merging this article. But I'll give it another week to consider this option, knowing that this AFD can be closed earlier.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:48, 22 June 2022 (UTC)- The merger tag there is a record of the fact that there has been a suggestion of merging it, and therefore, as per WP:MERGE, it is proper that the putative target be notified, which has happened. If merger is not the likely outcome of the AfD discussion, that need not delay closure. But maybe when it is closed, the closer would remover the notification from that page.

While verifiable, I'm not sure if they meet WP:SALAT. Most of these "lists" have only one or two entries. I don't think there's enough verifiable content here for a list even if they were combined into, say, 2010s in Pakistani television. Furthermore, most of the sources are either WP:PRIMARY, 404, unreliable (TV.com), etc. And while not itself a reason to delete, maintenance is horribly deferred on these -- the 2013 list was vandalized in 2020 and no one caught it.

- Keep -- these topics are themselves notable, even if the articles themselves are incomplete (as Wikipedia always is). Information on these are typically verifiable by taking the sources from the relevant pages that are linked to (or could be linked to), and the information in the articles, where present, goes beyond the relevant categories by providing specific dates, etc. These aren't the same thing as the late 1920s American TV articles -- Pakistani TV is very well established in the 2000s, as opposed to it being a fairly new and speculative medium in the US at the time of that set of articles. matt91486 (talk) 00:19, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

- Merge w/o redirect; I agree that this is too short to be its own article (though I definitely think it could be one someday with a lot of work). However, this title is not suitable for a redirect, since it makes it seem that "security" is disambiguating the phrase "Human–computer interaction", which is wrong. (I'd support redirects from stuff like Human–computer interaction security or Security of human–computer interaction, though.) Also, quick FYI for the nominator: if an article has a list of references/further reading/external links but is otherwise unsourced/under-sourced, then the right tag to apply is not {{unreferenced}}, but rather {{no footnotes}}. Duckmather (talk) 23:03, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- That's a good point that it's an awkward article name. The talk page suggests that usable security would be a better approach to naming an article on this topic, and I agree — "usable security" is the term of art, and it'd be a great article topic if somebody wanted to work on it. But still, reviewing the list at WP:R#KEEP, I believe a redirect would still be helpful to prevent link rot for external sites linking to the article, and because it'd preserve the non-trivial edit history.

- Draftify as per WP:ATD. There is one reference that meets NCORP criteria for notability as it stands, the article in refinery29.com. The rest are either PRIMARY sources or mentions-in-passing. Searching for sources has not uncovered anything significant for me. Farr4h2004, the original author, has requested the article is draftified and this appears sensible.

My issue with this article is that to establish notability, it must contain in-depth information about the organization from an unaffiliated source (as per WP:SIRS). There really isn't anything in this article that meets the CORPDEPTH criteria. Firefangledfeathers, Farr4h2004 is there a particular part of that article you think meets the criteria?

- Draftify and require the article to be approved through an WP:AFC review per High King. I'm not convinced that the sourcing is strong enough to pass WP:NCORP, but time in development could reach that point eventually as more sources emerge.4meter4 (talk) 17:12, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - sourcing is poor, and has serious WP:NPOV issues. The entire program structure section is sourced with a primary source and a link from a non-profit that tries to prevent abuse in treatment centers. I'm not even sure there's enough here to consider adding some general info to Residential treatment center#Controversy. I Googled the school and don't see any reliable media coverage beyond the piece posted above that discusses the protest held by the neighbor. There are a lot of protests for lots of similar businesses, as well as sober living homes, but that doesn't make the business notable. Fails WP:GNG.

The verifiable fact of the existence of the show ought to be on the main article anyway, so I have just put it there. I haven't linked it, because if this is deleted that will result in a red link inviting re-creation, but if this survives the AfD, perhaps someone will throw square brackets around it. If not, there really doesn't seem to be anything else worth merging. Kevin McE (talk) 14:59, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- And was promptly deleted from that article without even the decency of an explanatory edit note, which I have raised at talk there. But that does raise the anomolous situation whereby a decision to merge cab be made at AfD with no reference to the target of the merger, which would not be possible under a normal merger process. Kevin McE (talk) 15:27, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Well, if even the fans don't care enough about it, I would say that counts against notability. That said, I would support KevinMcE's suggestion to merge to the main American Idol article as I think this show is mainly notable as part of the larger American Idol phenomenon rather than as its own thing. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 19:20, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- You don't have to wait until AfD is over to propose a merger: merger rather than deletion is a valid AfD ourcome, effectively proposed by both Coolabahapple and yourself before I got here.

- Merge to American Idol#Cultural impact. This will require discussion w/ the fanboys over there, as the first attempt was immediately reverted. However, as I stated above, the subject of this article is only notable in the context of the larger cultural phenomenon that is American Idol. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 23:46, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- I would agree with this solution. If it is properly referenced with a review and a ref that confirms the dates, it can be merged into the cultural impact section at American Idol and should survive there. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:17, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Kevin McE (talk) 15:42, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- No opinion on whether to keep or not, but oppose merging. The musical merits a single line mention in the American Idol article irrespective of what happens to this article, but merging some or all of the content (such as the suggested porting over of its introduction) is not acceptable, it would distort its significance to the TV show. Hzh (talk) 22:00, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- What about a line and a half? And we also need to define a "line." After all, a line next to an infobox or a photo is shorter than a full, unobstructed line. Are we counting cites? What if the cites cause a word or two to go over onto a second line? I'm starting to feel like John Adams in the musical 1776. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 01:10, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

- Not sure while I'm really not a fan of stats only articles or articles about routine events, I wonder about systemic bias about levels of government here. This council covers about twice the population of Montenegro, yet I can't imagine anyone arguing that Montenegrin national elections are routine events. (In the US at least) local governments have considerable powers and are actually competitive, whereas rigged elections in countries such as Azerbaijan or Rwanda could be argued to be more routine since the victor is determined ahead of time, yet we still have articles on these elections.

- Old and outdated? it can be updated, not a reason to delete. The essay WP:DELETIONISNOTCLEANUP
A common maxim is that "Articles for Deletion is not cleanup". Consider that Wikipedia is a work in progress and articles should not be deleted as punishment because no one has felt like cleaning them up yet.
- Duplicating? The guideline WP:NOTDUP says
It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template that all cover the same topic.

- Keep. Because:
- Delete: This is a clear case of WP:NOTDIRECTORY; no amount of cleanup can make this list useful. "Locomotives" is far, far too broad a category for a complete list to be of any use. A complete list would be absolutely massive: a back-of-the-envelope count suggests something like 2,000 current articles on locomotive classes, which would probably double when including all the non-notable small-batch classes of early steam locomotives. That would be nearly impossible to assemble or maintain to any degree of quality - and would be less useful than the existing category tree under Category:Locomotives.

- Keep. The relevant policy/guidance is wp:CLN, which explains how categories and lists and navigation templates are complementary. A list can include references and details and photos and can be organized sensibly according to the topics. It can and should include an introduction where most significant list-items are explained. Importantly, it can include redlinks and sources supporting those topics importance, which categories cannot do at all. Generalizing, pretty much if there exists a category then there can be a list-article. --Doncram (talk) 01:39, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- The comments from 2004 are not relevant, that was long before tables were available in wikimedia and before standards and examples of great list-articles were created. I agree the list seems dead; the last talk-page discussion was in 2008. Where are the railroad enthusiasts?
- The current list could/should be developed to include section on individual notable locomotives ( eg ones on historic registers ), perhaps organized by nation the province or state. And list locomotive models/classes organized by manufacturer. It should include sortable tables including photos. --Doncram (talk) 01:49, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

- Do you mean most classes of locomotives? Google suggests there are over 350,000 individual ones in the world, they are surely not all notable. That seems very unlikely. If every class of locomotive is notable, I don't see a big problem. We have lists of poets, writers, singers, and the world has many of them. If the lists gets overwhelming, it can be split up later by year/name/country etc. CT55555 (talk) 04:51, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

- A list of all the individual locomotives that have articles on Wikipedia would be massive. --Eldomtom2 (talk) 16:14, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- If it became too massive, it could be split. This is not a reason to delete. Wikipedia has lots of long lists and editors are quite capable of dealing with that. CT55555 (talk) 16:23, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- As CT55555 says, splitting lists that get too large is standard editorial practice and almost always entirely uncontroversial. In this case splitting off by country for those countries with large numbers of individually notable locomotives while retaining inline those countries with only a handful will match the way many other lists on Wikipedia are organised. If you think that is a reason for deletion then you've completely misunderstood both the purpose of deletion and the general concept of lists on Wikipedia. Thryduulf (talk) 08:36, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- A list of all the individual locomotives that have articles on Wikipedia would be massive. --Eldomtom2 (talk) 16:14, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: categories not matched by list-articles can be horribly incomplete even re what Wikipedia covers: They omit articles which could/should be in a category, but just aren't. They omit redlinks. They omit items covered in lists within articles, such as a tabulation of locomotives within an article about a railway or a museum. They omit other significant mentions in regular articles, such as a town article mentioning a preserved locomotive in its park.
- As an exercise just now, i did some analysis in Draft:List of preserved railroad locomotives in Colorado, identifying 49 items which should be in the system of categories. In fact i do see three in Category:Preserved steam locomotives of Colorado, yay. That's where i started my list from, actually. And there is one more that should be in that category but isn't, though it can be found by drilling down from Category:Locomotives in other ways. Categories omit one NRHP-listed one that is a redlink. But the categories completely miss 44 others that are individually tabulated within museum and railway articles. You cannot get to them.
- Could the category system be fixed? Yes, by creating 44 redirects to the table rows, and putting appropriate categories on those redirects. But you cannot fix the categories if you don't have corresponding lists to work from. I !vote above that List of locomotives be kept and developed, and then all the categories can be improved. But assertions that existing categories "duplicate" what sensible explicit lists would include, are naive or just wrong, IMHO. --Doncram (talk) 23:05, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Actually I'm not really inclined to create all 44 redirects and obsessively add categories to them; maybe i would for just the isolated ones in town articles or wherever so they will be noticeable, but not for the all those in groups at railway articles, say. But i would sorta "fix" the categories by adding mention, at the categories themselves, about the groups/lists that go towards "completing" them. It takes both to help each other get towards completeness of both. Having the explicit list out there attracts corrections, additions, too, as well as it advertises need to create missing articles. --Doncram (talk) 03:43, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- That's four more than the number listed on List of locomotives. And such a list would be impossibly long. It would need to instead be a list of lists. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 23:46, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Ah, i see what u mean: that the manufacturers and railways currently listed at List of locomotives don't include any of these Colorado preserved ones. I'm not sure if drilling through the Baldwin Locomotive Works diesel-only sublists could get to one or two Baldwins in Colorado (which might be steam), or not. But touché, your point is correct: the current categories are likely better than currently indexed lists.
- I still wanna see sublists of locomotives by location (for preserved ones that are relatively fixed), and other sublists, all to be indexed from the top. I don't personally like renames of lists to "List of lists of..." format, like i am sure categorizers would refuse to have categories renamed to be "Categories of categories of...". But yes, top-level world-wide lists often have only sublists as members; individual items tend to show up in second or third or fourth levels along with more sublists. --Doncram (talk) 03:24, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- The problem is that such lists would duplicate information from the pages on individual railways/museums/etc. , and unless obsessively maintained would quickly become outdated. --Eldomtom2 (talk) 08:45, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- No, not every preserved locomotive is individually notable, not every individually notable locomotive is preserved, not every preserved locomotive is preserved in its country of origin (e.g. LNER Class A4 4496 Dwight D Eisenhower) and not every preserved locomotive is preserved at a notable location by a notable organisation; most locomotives in a railway's fleet are not individually notable. This list would be a more comprehensive list of locomotives than that at any individual institution. Those lists, where they exist, would be referenced as sources of more detailed information.
- The claim that this will become quickly out of date is both (a) not a reason on its own to delete a list, and (b) also not true - once a locomotive is notable it is always notable, facts like it's type, manufacturer, and country of origin never change and locomotives becoming newly individually notable does not happen very often. Thryduulf (talk) 09:06, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- My point was that a list of locomotives by geographical location would quickly become outdated, as locomotives move around. If it was "list of preserved locomotives built for X company" it could work, but then it doesn't seem to make sense to have "list of locomotives" only include links to lists of preserved locomotives. --Eldomtom2 (talk) 10:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- No one plans to limit the world-wide list of locomotives to cover just the preserved ones, or other relatively fixed ones. It is not currently limited that way. But some historic locomotives can be organized by nation where they operated, and some preserved ones in museums or on short tourist runs can be organized by more specific locations. Like for other sometimes moveable "places" on the US NRHP (eg buildings and covered bridges and other structures which do get moved sometimes, or objects such as ships, steamboats, or statues), it is not too hard to update locations occasionally when The General (locomotive) moves from one museum to another, or whatever. And we already deal with some "fuzzy" locations for some NRHP-listed locomotives that move between two terminuses of a line like the Cumbres one. --Doncram (talk) 14:16, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Also there already do exist categories of locomotives organized by location, and I don't see any movement to ban those. Also IMO it is far more likely for Wikipedia to learn of a move, from the public, if they can see an explicit list of locomotives in a given state, say. Then the location-type category for the locomotive will also get updated, too, when the locomotive item is transferred from one state's list to another's. It is far easier to check a list than a category.
- Anyhow, this is getting into issues best handled by editors at relevant Talk pages.
- I may not respond to much further here. -Doncram (talk) 14:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- By present geographical location is not the most sensible grouping for a list like this, however by country of origin (how it's currently organised) is. Regardless, a list needing to be updated every so often is not a reason to delete it. Thryduulf (talk) 14:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- You'd have to split up a list of preserved locomotives in certain countries like the UK or US, though. --Eldomtom2 (talk) 15:20, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- If the length of the list dictated it then they would be split off per WP:LISTSPLIT. None of the lists of preserved British locomotives confine themselves to individually notable locomotives (e.g. there are only 3 on List of preserved British industrial steam locomotives), but the existence of categories like Category:Preserved Great Western Railway steam locomotives argues for the creation of an accompanying list and also for the retention of this high level summary list.

- How many lists are there that limit themselves to only stuff notable enough for a Wiki page while there are similar lists that list everything?--Eldomtom2 (talk) 17:30, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Lists limited to only stuff notable enough for a Wikipedia article are 10-a-penny. Many of them also have more detailed lists about narrower sub-topics that have broader inclusion criteria. List of people associated with rail transport is an example I found after about a minute searching, although not perfect as the inclusion criteria are not clear, there are many sublists of people associated with rail transport in specific ways, places and/or times. Thryduulf (talk) 18:39, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

- Week keep. I agree that this list is duplicated by (or even better addressed by) the category. I also observe that this article has not been seriously maintained at, well, any point in its history really. But in this case, we have an uncomplicated topic ("locomotives", not an "X of Y" type) that as far as I can tell does not present any problems if not kept up-to-the-minute - that is, any information (appropriately) added to it will never go out of date (it's "list of locomotives" not "list of locomotives currently in use"), and a lack of mention here isn't inherently misleading (eg, presumably no one will use this page to conclusively determine "what locomotives have ever existed" or "is x a locomotive"). I don't see the WP:LISTN fail here. There appears to be an editor willing to update and maintain this now, as well. Though I do think this would be more helpful to readers if it had a hatnote directing to Category:Locomotives - not sure what the best wording for that would be so I leave that to someone else. -- asilvering (talk) 22:24, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

- Comment. As some have noted, the subject list-article has been developed somewhat, now with some coverage of preserved locomotives by country. Update: I have converted what I was drafting as a list of preserved locomotives in Colorado, into a Draft:Preserved locomotives in the United States. This so far includes most locomotives which are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. I intend to continue developing this, and get it to mainspace; it will be a sublist linked from this main list-article. --Doncram (talk) 18:14, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. The list serves its purpose by bringing readers to either a locomotive page, or to a more detailed list where such a page could be found. I am aware of the category duplication issue, but it does not matter because it is not inherently problematic. As for WP:NOTDIRECTORY, the list is focussed so it is no more of a directory than other lists. Thanks, NotReallySoroka (talk) 14:02, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

- delete I really do not understand why people are so desperate to keep this incoherent, indiscriminate, ill-defined mess. It's not a list of locomotives, except for the parts at the end which are (and if we start listing all preserved locomotives, we're going to need several bigger articles). and the part that is lists of locomotive classes is mixed with a list of diesel locomotive models, and I lost track of whether electric locos are treated at all. And then we have locomotive types (e.g., mallets and Shays). I can see some point to some sort of list of lists article, but this is not it, and the only reason why this isn't one of the largest articles in the system is that nobody is putting a lot of effort into expanding it according to what it says it is. Mangoe (talk) 06:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, expanding the list of preserved locomotives towards covering a high percentage of those worldwide will indeed require splitting out several bigger articles. This is a good place to start from, IMHO. Yes, the mixture of locomotive "classes" within individual locomotives is confusing and can/should be addressed by editing (i.e. gradually move out the classes to a separate List of locomotive classes). Yes, electric locos are locos and are to be included. It is fine to mention all of these at talk page of list-article. I am making some effort to expand coverage to include all preserved individual locomotives. I personally have done all right, IMHO, with that kind of stuff, in developing many world-wide list-articles. Such as List of fire stations, say. --Doncram (talk) 16:33, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Another followup: Well the earlier sections do include links and other info regarding individual locomotives (e.g. the Great Western Railway section explicitly names 3440 City of Truro), and drilling down into some classes gets to mentions of individuals (e.g. NSB Class XXI mentions a preserved example depicted in File:Lok på Setesdalsbanen.

But yeah "classes" and "models" may be mixed, and I myself don't yet understand the distinction, so I am not sure if it should be List of locomotive classes and models, or what, that should be split out from the "list of locomotives" if the latter is developed to cover individual locomotives only (Mangoe, perhaps you could comment on this at Talk?). --Doncram (talk) 14:58, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Article being in a poor state is not a good rationale for deletion per WP:Alternatives to deletion and WP:Deletion is not cleanup. I agree that a full list of all locomotives will obviously be unwieldly, but that is not a valid deletion rationale either. It just means, as several others have pointed out, that this will end up as a WP:List of lists if worked on. That it hasn't been worked on much, I also find surprising, but that too is not a valid deletion rationale per WP:Wikipedia is not finished. SpinningSpark 10:54, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per Mangoe and Pi.1415926535. I doubt someone can keep this list trimmed, yet comprehensive in a long run. Categories serve a better purpose here. - Darwinek (talk) 15:22, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Again no valid rationale for deletion is stated. Some readers like to navigate through categories. I and others much prefer explicit lists, which can provide some introduction, explain scope, show photos and sources, comment on comprehensiveness or lack thereof (which categories completely totally fail at), guide future development by including redlinks, etc. wp:CLNT is explicitly about how categories, lists, navigation templates are complementary, and the existence of one is not an argument for deletion of another. --Doncram (talk) 16:12, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Listing of locomotive classes is certainly within Wikipedia's remit, as essentially every locomotive class is notable. Trying to fit every single class (or is it every single notable locomotive? still unclear what the scope is here) into a single article just isn't really possible. This article should be about either notable individual locomotives, or locomotive classes. Doing both is absurd. The article has become a confused mess because of the unclear scope. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:25, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- Any list is about "notable" examples (whether meaning Wikipedia-notable which could have a valid separate article, or "list-item-notable"); the word does not need to be included in the title. What's possible or not, what should be done or not, are editing concerns, not an AFD concern. Of course all classes can be part of one list, and of course all individual locomotives can be part of another list, although yes both of those will have to be split for size reasons. Not my fault the contents included classes. I think i did edit the list-article slightly to clarify the current contents include both, but that does not mean I intend for the contents to stay that way. When you drill down into some of those items, sometimes you get to lists of classes, only, sometimes you get to individual locomotives, sometimes you get a mix. Sometimes an item is the sole locomotive built, like a prototype, of planned class, so they are the same. I have taken on developing "preserved locomotives" which are individual locomotives, and I will have to drill down into each of the ambiguous items to find individual locomotives to add. I personally am more interested in individual locomotives, akin to historic sites; could you perhaps be the one to develop a list of classes? Or, this list could be pared to drop the classes without moving them to a separate new list (although I agree that would be obviously notable); this is a matter for editors at the Talk page to decide. --Doncram (talk) 19:42, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

- Comment For what it's worth, I am finding that the categories in these areas are really poorly organized or maintained, and in the process of trying to develop Draft:Preserved locomotives in the United States I am having to spend a lot of time fixing them, adding suitable categories to articles, etc. And, frankly, it would always be impractical if not impossible to check the contents of the categories and maintain/improve them, if there are not corresponding list-articles or sections. Also, it has been pointed out to me that many very short stub articles on individual locomotives have been created, in Draft space or otherwise, and I am creating rows for each one of those locomotives and redirecting the short stubs to the rows, using "id=" row anchors. It is seeming to me hugely helpful for Wikipedia to have proper list-articles developed here, instead of hopelessly unmanageable, awful, inaccurate, and incomplete categories, and zillions of bad stubs. --Doncram (talk) 21:50, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep – Qualifies for an article per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Locomotives, and retain the current formatting of only including notable topics in the list. This article would benefit from expansion, rather than deletion. Concerns about the article size ballooning can easily be addressed by the performance of page WP:SPLITS if that occurs.

- Leaning towards keep (but I do not know) -- The fact that some one has written an article referring to his contribution suggests to me that he is notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:40, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
DeleteKeep (see reply comment): if anyone is inclined to do more digging, here are the LOC BIBFRAME entries for his two books: [25], [26]. I do not believe that the sources presently in the article establish notability. I have updated the titles to give the transliterated titles and the LOC's translation, and removed the other two entries, since I am not sure they actually exist; one duplicated a title of an earlier book, and the other the publication year, which makes me suspicious. (Additionally, it is extremely suspicious for someone to publish in the 1950s and 60s, and then... 2004.) I would normally assume that any historian with two or more books is notable and, like previous commenters, urge caution against quick delete !votes because of language barrier issues. But in this case I am much more concerned that the language barrier may well have led to an article simply being factually untrue for a decade. For example: can anyone find any information that this BLP is, in fact, a BLP? The most recent evidence we have of his life is the publication of that second book, which may have been as early as 1960. The DNB gives his biographical data as 1925/26-1959/60. (I wouldn't lean too heavily on that data, but it does not inspire confidence.) -- asilvering (talk) 04:25, 5 July 2022 (UTC)- Ah. The AFD version of your computer working as soon as you call someone over to look at it: a full, English-language source. And yes, he's quite dead.

- "No sourcing exists at the moment" is completely unambiguous, and is completely false, no twisting of words is required to determine that. Your signature states "What did I screw up now?", which invites other editors to tell you, which has been done. As for WP:NPA, your wikistalking accusation above would also qualify.

- Hi Loose Necktie
- Thank you for your concern on this page. I will attempt to answer your notes below.
- The second website you mention appears to be the subjects own website is not correct. This is the subjects own website, https://saxonlogan.com/, which has been avoided for obvious reasons.
- With regards to notability, he won an Emmy award and received an honorary mention from the Academy in USA. Notability must be viewed from both a local and worldwide context. USA and Europe don't have an exclusive hold over who is notable in film and television. In Africa this man is incredibly notable.
- His most active period was prior to the invention of the internet so the vast majority of publicity no longer exists, making finding online external links difficult to source. It should be flagged for lack of appropriate citations, not deleted for notability. Shelly Took (talk) 06:23, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Oppose Me and user Newyorkbrad are both against deletion of this article. This demand that a Wikipedia article must have English language sources is completely ridiculous — Wikipedia must have international editors and articles of interest to the whole world, and not just for American audiences. Just Another Cringy Username has a history of needlessly tagging decent articles for deletion. This user has been a Wikipedia editor for only 4 months and has an obsession with deleting articles rather than creating or improving them - he/she is possibly a vandal.

- It's very hard to fathom that a serious encyclopedia should restrict itself only to topics that are sourced in one language. That whole approach is against everything that Wikipedia stands for. Would you say that the Manx Wikipedia should only have articles that are sourced in Manx? Phil Bridger (talk) 20:48, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- Not necessarily. However, just because an article is notable enough for Manx WP, does that mean it's automatically notable for every other language? Even if the subject of that article is unknown in that language?
- I never said sources should be limited to one language; I said articles should be limited to the language of their sources. Manx WP need not limit itself to Manx sources, but if only Manx sources can be found, then that topic is probably not appropriate for, say, German WP.
- Here we have an article for which the only sources offered are in Russian. If you can find English sources to supplement the Russian ones, by all means edit them in. Otherwise, I would argue that the lack of RS in English makes this topic more appropriate for Russian WP than for English. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 22:19, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

The referencing in the BLP is entirely to the self-published websites of organizations directly associated with the claims being made, which are not support for notability, and the tour is almost entirely the same except for a couple of stray hits in suburban community hyperlocals not representing enough coverage to get it or him over WP:GNG -- and even on a ProQuest search for older sourcing that wouldn't Google properly, all I found was the exact same hyperlocals or accidental text matches for different David Pecks, with absolutely no strong coverage to repair this with. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt Peck or the tour from having to have much, much better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:58, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for political office. As always, candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates per se -- the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, and a candidate must demonstrate either that he already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article anyway (i.e. Cynthia Nixon), or a credible reason why his candidacy can be seen as much, much more nationally significant than other people's candidacies such that people would still be looking for information about it a decade from now even if he loses. But this demonstrates neither of those things, and is referenced to a mix of primary sources that are not support for notability at all and purely run of the mill local campaign coverage of the type that every candidate in every election always gets, thus not marking him out as more special than everybody else.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November if he wins, but nothing here is already enough to earn him a Wikipedia article today. Bearcat (talk) 17:19, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect to 2022 Georgia lieutenant gubernatorial election#Democratic primary. Per nom., not notable per WP:NPOL or WP:GNG, so not presently qualified for a standalone article. His prominent standing as his party's nominee in the upcoming statewide election does warrant a redirect, however. Also per nom., no prejudice against the article's re-creation should he win the general election in November. Sal2100 (talk) 20:07, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Bailey is twice the nominee of a major political party for statewide office. Only about 2% of the vote kept him from winning in 2018. Is it truly the case that he has not received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"? Such would establish general notability, and per the end of the WP:POLITICIAN guideline, make him notable as a politician. —ADavidB 04:45, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- Every candidate in every election everywhere can always show campaign coverage, and thus claim that WP:GNG exempts them from having to pass WP:NPOL — but if that were how it worked, then NPOL would be entirely unenforceable, because nobody would ever actually have to be measured against it at all anymore. So no, a non-winning candidate does not get an article just because run of the mill campaign coverage exists: as I noted in my nomination statement, candidates get articles only if they (a) had another claim of notability for some other reason that would already have gotten them an article anyway, or (b) can show a credible reason why their candidacy should be seen as much, much more important and special than most other people's candidacies. And no, running twice isn't more notable than running once, and coming close but still losing isn't more notable than losing by a wider margin, either. Bearcat (talk) 12:21, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- How was it established that this state-wide nominee's coverage is only 'run of the mill'? If this is so far an assumption based on the current article status, my comment serves as an invitation for editors to look for and include more significant coverage. The article is only a week old. —ADavidB 16:24, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- Being a candidate for statewide office isn't any more "inherently" notable than being a candidate for local office either — candidates for statewide office still always get campaign coverage by definition, and thus what I said before about how nobody would ever have to be measured against our inclusion standard for politicians if the existence of campaign coverage were all it took to exempt them from it still applies the same way. Simply put, a candidate only gets to claim notability on the basis of campaign coverage itself if that campaign coverage expands to a volume and geographic range far beyond what would merely be expected to exist, because the test for a non-winning candidate requires him to demonstrate that he's so much more notable than most other candidates that even if he loses he would still pass the people will still be looking for information about his campaign in the year 2032 test anyway.
If a person is running for statewide office, then campaign coverage within the state where he's running for office is merely expected to always exist, and is thus run of the mill — if a candidate in Georgia breaks out to such a degree that he starts getting covered in California and Iowa and Michigan, then he might be getting somewhere, but if he's only getting coverage in Georgia then that coverage is not demonstrating that he's more notable than other candidates. Bearcat (talk) 21:55, 28 June 2022 (UTC)- I disagree with treating major-party-elected statewide nominees as 'local', but acknowledge that is how things are being done. —ADavidB 02:13, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

- Moderate Keep. Due to him actually winning the Democratic run-off, he's garnered a lot of coverage from local stations and reputable papers, about how he will compete in the finals, plus an Axios article on his views on abortion. A redirect or merge is another alternative, although it does not make the most sense since he has ran for two elections, and a single page can't exactly redirect to two pages at a time, ya know. User:HumanxAnthro (Nina CortexxCoco Bandicoot) 04:03, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- It's true that a single page can't be redirected to more than one article. In this case, redirecting to 2022 Georgia lieutenant gubernatorial election#Democratic primary would be the most appropriate course of action (if redirect is the result of this discussion) because it is the higher office sought by the subject. That, I believe, is the standard procedure for redirecting politicians who have run for multiple offices. That's why it's the particular target being proposed. FYI and FWIW.

While I would say that the vast vast majority of ACW naval ships have accrued enough coverage to be notable, I don't think this one has or ever will. The DANFS entry is incredibly short, Gaines' Encylopedia of Civil War Shipwrecks provides a very small amount of information specifically about this ship in a short section lumping 12 different vessels together, the USS Pilgrim in Silverstone's Warships of the Civil War Navies is really USS Pilgrim (tugboat), etc. The best coverage I can find is this from the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies, but as the ORN is essentially just a reprinted collection of primary source naval records, I don't think we can hang an article solely on that. It should be noted that the subject of our Stone Fleet article is a specific attempt unrelated to this vessel, and that this one is just a knock-off. Hog Farm Talk 16:30, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. User:Horse Eye's Back cites the same business journal article twice, some profiles, and WP:TECHCRUNCH as reasons to speedy keep. I would not do that. I didn't turn up much, and what I see is dependent sources or otherwise not the significant independent reliable third-party coverage we'd like to see to establish notability per WP:ORGCRIT. This is also highly promotional. FalconK (talk) 09:03, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yes I do appear to have fat fingered the same source in there twice... But remember we only need 3 quality sources for WP:GNG. If GNG is met (it is) then WP:ORGCRIT is irrelevant. None of the articles I highlighted are dependent and neither is the content. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:21, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

FalconK's analysis is spot on, none of the references meet NCORP.

Article about a film, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFO. The only notability claim being made here is that it "received acclaim from audiences at film festivals", except that's not backed up with any sourcing, or any evidence of winning any audience-voted awards at any film festivals, so that isn't a notability freebie in and of itself. The only source here, further, is its IMDb entry, which is not a reliable or notability-supporting source -- and while it is listed in Gerald Pratley's A Century of Canadian Cinema, that's a book in which each film only has a very short blurb, so it isn't enough all by itself, and the only other source I can find anywhere at all is this (you need to scroll down about halfway, because it isn't the first topic on the page), which still doesn't really add up to enough. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the film from having to have more than just two fairly short blurbs worth of coverage. Bearcat (talk) 16:05, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- I am also a Fintech Professional(not based in Singapore or India or not a nationality of these countries) and given speeches in major cities of Asia. It's incorrect relating merely Fintech is an application of IT on the financial industry.
- Fintech is the technology and innovation that aims to compete with traditional financial methods in the delivery of financial services. Artificial intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud computing, and big Data are regarded as the "ABCD" (four key areas) of FinTech. The Fintech industry is an emerging industry that uses technology to improve activities in finance. The use of smartphones for mobile banking, investing, borrowing services, and cryptocurrency are examples of technologies aiming to make financial services more accessible to the general public......

- Went through BEFORE. plenty of low quality press releases, spokesperson, etc. little to none sigcov. – robertsky (talk) 02:36, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I currently have no particularly strong feelings either way, but I do not have enough WP:TROUTs to distribute for the current state of this AfD. Throwing aspersions of failure to do BEFORE, rushing off to ANI etc. really doesn't help. The main problem is that this sort of career generates large amounts of low-quality sourcing: deliberate press-releases, mirrors of press-releases, material from organisations who are employing him, and those advertising events at which he speaks, all of which cannot be used to write an article about him. Low quality sources don't mean he's not notable, but it's very hard to sift through this lot and find something where someone writes about him independently, and in depth. For those who would keep, the best strategy would be to point out three really good such sources; nothing more is needed, and the honest deleter will happily change their opinion when faced with good sourcing. Elemimele (talk) 18:52, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

- Comment: A few comments. (a) As an AfC reviewer we rate based on what we think community consensus is but it is not unusual for something that has been accepted to be sent to AfD which is perfectly acceptable and not an argument for the article to be kept. (b) With FinTech just like with crypto there can be a lot of hype which makes reference analysis important. (c) I note that the MAS Wikipedia page and the linked pages do not appear to mention the FITG or this individual which does not help the keep case. (i.e. if the position is important then it should be mentioned) (d) Perhaps a merge to one of those pages could be an alternative (e) I definitely agree about the need for some serious trouting. (f) Unless you are working off something in WP:BIO or one of the subject related guides then saying/agreeing there is no significant coverage appears to be incompatible with a vote of keep and may indicate that an article is WP:TOOSOON.

- Keep, with major reservations: Mohanty apparently conceptualised and organised the Singapore FinTech Festival - the world's largest FinTech festival and a global platform for the FinTech community[49]. That is a big deal, worth recognising. My major reservations are that of the 23 sources (mostly media releases of uncertain reliability), just two have anything interesting to say about him. User:Eesan1969, you refer to sources in books and scholar but cite none of these. There is an interview with the subject here, yet this is not cited. Sandbh (talk) 01:17, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Interviews are primary and don't prove notability and organising a festival or a conference is not a big deal. That is crux of it, there is no real secondary sourcing on this article. scope_creepTalk 08:32, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

- Delete: Specific examples of in-depth coverage of the actual person in independent (i.e. not interviews) reliable sources have not been provided by editors here, and I cannot find them either. Vague waves at GNG, pointing at interviews (e.g. the PGurus article), and pointing at articles that do not discuss the person substantially (e.g. the Straits Times article and (borderline) the Financial Times article) are insufficient. This does not meet WP:GNG/WP:BASIC nor any of the specialized guidelines. — MarkH21talk 05:31, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV. The only sources we have that address the subject "directly and in detail" are all interviews. As such, they lack independence. The non-interview coverage we have is all passing mentions and not in-depth. As such, we have zero evidence of coverage which is both independent and in-depth as required by our notability guidelines.4meter4 (talk) 17:07, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- Weak delete - sources 2, 5 and 19 appear to be the same content written by the same two authors and syndicated. #19 doesn't include the authors' names, but does mention Bloomberg as the source. So that reduces the coverage somewhat. I looked at the other sources, but as pointed out above, they are mostly about MAS activity that Mohanty is involved in. There's little biographical info otherwise that would suggest a keep. It's weak delete and not full delete because his position as Chief Fintech officer appears to be significant, as evidenced by his being an in-demand speaker at events, but without more than canned bio notes and info about MAS, but it's not quite enough to pass WP:GNG. No reason some of his significant accomplishments/info couldn't be added to Singapore FinTech Festival or to Monetary Authority of Singapore, as part of those organizations' histories. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:16, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Delete agree with the previous delete voters about reliable coverage being limited to quotes and lacking depth.

Article about a film, not properly sourced as passing WP:NFO. As always, every film is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists; we require some indication of significance, such as notable film awards and/or the reception of analytical reviews by professional film critics in media. But the only notability claim in evidence here is that it was "the second film in the history of Punjabi cinema to be made on such a lavish scale and with renowned Sync Sound technicians", which is both unverified and in no sense whatsoever a significant notability claim, and the only "source" is a deadlinked copy of the film's trailer on YouTube. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this film from having to have any actual coverage in real media, and the article has been tagged for referencing problems since 2015 without ever having any proper sources added since.

- Comment: The draft that used to be at Draft: Prince (2022 Tamil film) had citations added with tons of references ranging from project launch to the final stages of filming right before the other user moved the previous version of the page to this current article. What my thought is that we recover the older version which had all of these and then replace this article with those contents after the AfD. I would like user Ab207 to comment on this approach. SP013 (talk) 14:30, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- @SP013: I think you are referring to this version of the draft. Seems that it's more developed than this page, so I restored the draft before it was redirected to this page.
- My understanding is that Berntarnelol has created this duplicate page without any sources to circumvent draftification (done first by DaxServer, later by Praxidicae). To fix this issue, GeoffreyT2000 has redirected the original draft to this page, even though that was more developed.
- So I think keeping original draft and deleting this duplicate page would be a better option. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:18, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- That doesn't change the issue, which is that it has been repeatedly created in mainspace and there is no evidence that it currently meets WP:NFILM. So if that changes, then we can discuss but in the mean time, I think the AFD should continue on the basis that we can't predict the future and outside of "x is filming" and "x is in the film" there is no meaningful coverage of the film itself and there isn't guaranteed to be any.

- I believe my comment is well within the purview of this AfD to decide the fate of this page.

Based on Wikipedia's standards, this page more than meets the requirements and, in my opinion, I have not seen a reasonable, logical, policy-based argument put forth that is to the contrary. There are more than enough independent and reliable sources, in my opinion, many of which are mentioned above. As for notability, beyond the aforementioned independent and reliable sources (which I think clearly qualify the article based on Wikipedia's standards), I think endorsement from a figure such as Kevin O'Leary only further strengthens the notability argument. I respectfully disagree with the above users who are calling for this article to be deleted. CatDadoftheYear (talk) 19:31, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

My fear here is that the votes for deletion are largely being fueled by Pawthereum’s low market cap instead of its overarching contributions and burgeoning user growth despite a sustained bear market, which is rare for a small cryptocurrency and a testament to the unwavering commitment of the development team. Pawthereum has received a lot of legitimate (organic) press from sites such as Coin Telegraph, Nasdaq, and a bevy of traditional news outlets. Besides raising half a million dollars for animal welfare (and counting), I have not seen a charity coin as robust and forward-thinking as Pawthereum.

- Comment. As usual, my objection is to overuse of prodding. WP:PROD lays out what prodding is for very clearly:
Proposed deletion (PROD) is a way to suggest an article or file for uncontroversial deletion... PROD must only be used if no opposition to the deletion is expected.
It is certainly not intended to circumvent AfD. Please only prod articles that no editor with any knowledge of procedure would consider to be notable. Anything else should go to AfD for full discussion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:31, 22 June 2022 (UTC)- I would assume that any editor with any knowledge of policy would consider a film with zero reviews to be non-notable and therefore that the deletion would be uncontroversial. If you have an opposition to proposed deletion, I suggest you go to WT:PROD and seek consensus to either deprecate the process or enshrine your skewed interpretation into policy. De-PRODing because you oppose the process in general is wasting other editors' time to make a point. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 13:49, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- I do not object in any way to prodding. I object to its misuse. And I was not making a WP:POINT; I deprodded an article that I believed needed to be taken to AfD. Most prodded articles are correctly prodded. But prodding is for completely non-notable topics. A prod can also be removed by any editor for any reason or none, as you should know. Anyone who gets arsey if a prod is removed or objects to taking an article to AfD is going against the spirit of Wikipedia and the letter of WP:PROD. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:33, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Article about a film, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFO. As always, films are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist; we require external validation and analysis of their significance to support an article -- but the only notability claim here is that it won an award at a minor film festival whose awards aren't notable enough to carry the notability of their winners, referenced only to that film festival's own self-published website about itself. But when it comes to "notable because awards", we're looking for major internationally prominent film festivals like Cannes, Berlin, Toronto or Sundance whose awards can be sourced to media coverage to establish that the award is a notable one, not just any small fry award at just any small fry film festival that exists. And the rest of the article is still referenced entirely to primary sources rather than media coverage, so there's no evidence that it would pass the "notable because media coverage" criterion either. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this film from having to be referenced considerably better than this. Bearcat (talk) 12:02, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Comment. As usual, my objection is to overuse of prodding. WP:PROD lays out what prodding is for very clearly:
Proposed deletion (PROD) is a way to suggest an article or file for uncontroversial deletion... PROD must only be used if no opposition to the deletion is expected.
It is certainly not for articles that until recently would have been considered to be notable. That is obviously not uncontroversial. It is also certainly not intended to circumvent AfD. Please only prod articles that no editor with any knowledge of procedure would consider to be notable. Anything else should go to AfD for full discussion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:59, 22 June 2022 (UTC) - Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Football-related deletion discussions.

- @Heshs Umpire: As a content creator myself, I know that the deletion process can be frustrating.

Fails WP:N. Has won many awards, none of them notable. Has written many books, none of them notable. Looking for sources gives me in GNews one press release, and one lengthy interview with "Total Prestige Magazine"[55], which is a shady publication which seems to have a habit of giving excessively praiseful attention to otherwise completely unknown people. E.g. the cover of the issue before the Sullivan issue was for "Trevor Perkin", CEO of "HDM Coatings". Complete lack of all notability or "prestige"[56], not the kind of CEO any actual, real luxury magazine would put on their cover or give a lengthy interview. This has all the hallmarks of a paid for publication to give people exposure and fake notability, not a genuine reliable source giving voluntary attention to a notable person.
The 79 Google hits for Ayn Cates Sullivan[57] are extremely low for a supposedly bestselling American fiction author with many books and awards. Looking for her original name doesn't help[58]. She is a self-published author who has won some very minor awards (niche awards from organisations which give out many dozens of similar awards), which have not gotten any attention in the press.

- List of fatwas (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Even for a list, this particular page is vague, arbitrary and synth-like. While propositioned as a dynamic list of 'fatwas', this is essentially (as noted on talk) just an entirely headline-hitting news-driven collection of such items that have stirred controversy. A page title of "List of the most salacious and controversial fatwas" might be more true to form. Fatwas are just legal opinions. Half of these 'notable fatwas' barely have a handful of news references, let alone their own page - this is notable? These legal opinions are from all and sundry. The lack of talk page discussion is testament to how little thought has been put into whether these are notable scholars from notable institutions, as opposed to ones that just got in the news. In law, the notability of legal opinions is derived from their impact on the body of law, which I suspect is established for few if any entries on this list. This page is not, in any way, a serious attempt to comprehensively catalogues legal opinions. There is not a single cited academic work devoted to cataloguing or even explaining the complexity of attempting to catalogue fatwas as a genre. Instead it is perhaps one of the clearest examples of content flying in the face of WP:NOTNEWS I have seen. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:30, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Law, Religion, and Islam. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:30, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment without going into a lengthy and detailed reply I don’t see this page as being as problematic as the nominator feels it is. It doesn’t need to be comprehensive and may well benefit from trimming. It’s not an exact equivalent but we also have List of papal bulls which includes a similar mix of content. Mccapra (talk) 11:46, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- I would go a little further than 'not an exact equivalent'. A papal bull is a significant landmark ruling by the head of a religious denomination: many of them launched wars or yielded other significant historical impacts. In this article, on the contrary, many of the fatwas listed are from extremely average Joe sheikhs of little standing or relevance. A list of historic fatwas from Islamic figures of high religious authority, limited perhaps to the likes of grand muftis and ayatollahs might somewhat approach a list of papal bulls in similarity, but that is not, on the whole, what this article is. Despite claiming to be about 'notable historical and contemporary fatwas', apart from two from the 1500s, the rest of the list is news-driven drivel from the late-20th century onwards. It is basically just another one-from-among-many lists of Islam-related controversies, in this particular case with 'fatwa' as the organizing theme. It began with the Salman Rushdie fatwa (actually notable) and proceeded from there, gaining fatwa-related controversies but precious little insight or nuance. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:20, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- The prospect of making this article better is also fairly unrealistic. I'm sure there are tomes of fatwas written in Arabic in Al-Azhar University, much as there are great tomes of Western legal opinions and precedents. Over 1,400 years of Islamic legal history, the actual number of fatwas presumably lists in the hundreds of thousands if not the millions, and a history of truly notable fatwas would begin with the 7th century based on scholarly works on the subject in English (if extant). As it stands, the sad collection of fatwas listed here, and strung together with news references could readily be folded back into the main article on fatwa, which is not even that long, and already discusses many of the entries here, such as the Salman Rushdie case. In fact, it is already better in terms of covering examples with real world significance, such as the 1891 tobacco protest fatwa. Though I don't see others, such as the Oran fatwa, so perhaps a judicious merge may ultimately be a better option. I would not mind alternatively resolving it that way.

- Delete with fire. This is a handy tool to demonstrate the backwardness of Islam by neatly cherry-picking the most fatuous fatwas you can find - but there are many, many thousands of fatwas issued in history by any number of 'authorities' who could - or, indeed could not, represent majority or authoritative views of Islamic jurisprudence. To nod to the arguments made above by Iskandar323, you might as well list laws made in Europe and focus on the EU bendy bananas stuff - and expecting consensus or editors to arrive and make this skewed list better or more balanced is simply expecting too much. It's this kind of thing that keeps Muslim editors away, IMHO. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:10, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Deleting a notable, referenced list because it because it is a potentially controversial or sensitive topic or might discourage a particular editor is not appropriate. I could certainly see improving or editing the article or pruning it to put it into context as appropriate, if references are found to back it up, but it is a referenced list with interesting and valuable data that ought to be kept. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 14:49, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I did not argue to delete it because it is "potentially controversial or sensitive" or that it might discourage an editor - to reinforce my main point, a list of fatwas would be like a list of changes to the laws of European countries prior to and post the EU. It's a huge, unmanageable, insane list and sourcing it properly almost impossible in enwiki. Stick to Fatwa and highlight some notable fatwas, by all means. But undertaking anything like a useful list of them is just nuts - and begging to be misused/skewed as I said. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 15:08, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, what we have here is already the result of leaving the possibility of such a list to the imagination of the community, and in place of an encyclopedic entry, we have a sad collection of fatwa-related news headlines from the past two decades. But realistically, given the unlimited scope of the task, and the limited energies of editors, this was perhaps the only possible outcome of the exercise. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:17, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Verifiability is the most basic criteria for inclusion, in principle, but that is it - this does not speak to the any of the bigger questions of due weight, notability or WP:SYNTH. Iskandar323 (talk) 05:25, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. There are fatwas notable enough to have whole Wikipedia articles, there no reason not to have a list of them all. Maybe cut down the text so that this list article is more list like, but other than that there's no cause for deletion. --StellarNerd (talk) 20:11, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- There are but handful of fatwas with their own articles, such that all of them could very readily be covered on the main fatwa article, which is not even that long at present. Iskandar323 (talk) 05:00, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Trim and merge Some of these topics are touched on in Fatwa already, and I think discussion there of the relevance of these is more appropriate than just a listing of what some random imams have proclaimed, often to mockery or disregard. Reywas92Talk 20:16, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- I agree with the trim, but there are 48 entries in Category:Fatwas, it would be crowded to keep them all in Fatwa if you include a short description of them. --StellarNerd (talk) 20:36, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Quite, the entries subject to short-lived 'mockery and disregard' in the news cycle (WP:SUSTAINED), in particular, might otherwise be termed the antithesis of 'notable'. Iskandar323 (talk) 04:58, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete – Total violation of WP:SYNTH. Think of the very rough Western equivalent: List of decisions by major national and international courts or—more accurately—List of controversial decisions by major national and international courts, and including decisions from the 1600s to boot. It's not like a list of decisions by the ICJ where there's a clear criterion for inclusion, and where the consequences of each decision are well-defined. Your average Muslim in the United States will not follow a fatwa from Indonesia that the MMR vaccine is haram. Ovinus (talk) 21:07, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, certainly in the 21st century, the influence of many sheikhs is limited to their country, so many of these are, in effect, highly localised legal opinions with little influence beyond that, so we have random local proclamations of little regard in Afghanistan vying with local proclamations in Indonesia. As such, the proper way of categorizing 21st-century fatwas, which are limited to a country, would be to produce lists or categories by country. For example, for English law you have List of early landmark court cases. Or, if you look in the wider category of Case law lists by court, everything is listed by country and court, e.g.: List of High Court of Australia cases. So, what ties all fatwas together? Just being fatwas? Think how stupid List of legal opinions would be. Where to even begin? The answer is definitely not 'pick up a newspaper'. Iskandar323 (talk) 05:21, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Page has many sources about important historic information. This is a notable article if there ever was one. Fad Ariff (talk) 09:55, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- To be clear, this article by its very nature cherrypicks controversial fatwas—whichever ones get traction in English-language sources—and that presents a huge neutrality and synthesis issue. There need to be keep arguments which rebut this argument that several editors are making, including the nom, who based on their user page seems to have more familiarity with Islamic law and its modern consequences than do the rest of us. In particular, what characteristics differentiate this article topic from something like List of legal opinions? Ovinus (talk) 22:30, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- And, as noted above, verifiability alone does not guarantee notability or prevent synth, least of all in a list. The question is does anything establish this particular selection as credible, except for the news cycle - the news cycle itself not being a reliable source. Again, we don't have any source (currently provided) cataloguing 'notable fatwa', and the list preface lays out no relevant criteria. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:21, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

- The first one written by "Allison Barrett, second year medical student". Even ignoring that, these articles are mainly about JibJab media, and we don't create separate articles for every video mentioned, as per WP:NOTNEWS. (Though maybe there is a redirect target here.) Jontesta (talk) 15:39, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- The first source is published in The BMJ, which I would consider an excellent quality source. So the credentials of who wrote it seem far less important than it being published in an independent reliable source, which is the normal standard for establishing notability.
- The second source include the phrase "drugs I need" seven times and the phrase "Jib Jab" twice, so I don't agree with your analysis.
- The third one could be argued to cover the company or the video or both. But the key thing here is if it covers the subject of the article. I think it does.
- So I have considered your reply, but am not convinced by it, I remain keep. CT55555 (talk) 17:59, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Seems to pass WP:SIGCOV based on the sources provided CT5555. Further, it's the primary subject of the NYT article which doesn't even mention JibJab media, so the source analysis by Jontesta is false. Likewise, the other sources address the topic "directly and in detail".4meter4 (talk) 17:32, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Of course, I mainly agree, but the third one does indeed talk about Jib Jab (just without a space). So I thinks it's fair to say it covered both the company and the video, but still covers the video enough to justify me using it as a source. CT55555 (talk) 18:00, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

One of the NYT articles mentions it in 8 of the 16 paragraphs (with the article mainly about viral marketing, not on Drugs I Need); the other one does address the topic directly, but not in an in-depth manner. The BMJ piece is even more surface-level: a regurgitation of the video. And for the award, only one paragraph mentions it. Out of the four sources, they don't amount to much.

Page has been merged to Game of Thrones#Cultural influence, but redirect to their is objected against. I believe it makes more sense to discuss these names which are always discussed in the context of "they're popular because of GoT" either at the general Games of Thrones article, or at a (as yet not existant) spin-off article for the cultural influence of Games of Thrones (comparable to e.g. Cultural influence of Star Trek). The same applies to the nearly identical Khaleesi (given name). Fram (talk) 14:30, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Fictional elements, and Science fiction and fantasy. Fram (talk) 14:30, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. The name attracted significant media coverage, all listed in the references, and has been among the most used names from the series, which meets general notability. A stand alone article is justified for both Daenerys (given name) and Khaleesi (given name), which has been among the top 1,000 names for American girls over the past decades. Both meet notability requirements. This particular editor seems to be a “deletionist.” I am an “inclusionist” and believe articles that are properly referenced belong on Wikipedia.

- Merge and redirect to Game of Thrones#Cultural influence, or at minimum, merge the two into Given names inspired by Game of Thrones, per my comments above - I am concernd that each name, sparately, does not merit a stand-alone article, and even if merged, the topic is just part of the larger theme, i.e., GoT's in culture. This is why I strongly concur that we do need an article on the cultural influence of Game of Thrones/Game of Thrones in culture where this should probably end up one day. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:18, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- I don’t object to merging it to an article called Given names inspired by Game of Thrones but I do think Cultural influences of Game of Thrones would be too broad. The latter would be better as a category. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 13:34, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Merge into Game of Thrones#Names, a new subsection under Game of Thrones#Cultural influence. Personally, and I don't think this is part of style guides in use, I don't think standalone name pages are in order until and if there are notable people who have the name have been identified. There are no notable people so named today for this name. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 13:59, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- That is already an unwieldy monster of an article, far too long. Subheads don’t really help. I could see Cultural influences of Game of Thrones as a category with separate articles on names, fan conventions, fanfiction, whatever else, etc. I disagree regarding standalone articles on names. I judge notability by widespread usage, media coverage, a sudden increase in use prompted by something like Game of Thrones or a celebrity, etc., as in the case of these two articles.

- Redirect or Merge to a related target, either at the main article about the fiction, or about the character herself at Daenerys Targaryen. This substantially retreads the same material and we don't need a WP:CONTENTFORK to discuss the name separately from the character. They are one topic. Jontesta (talk) 23:51, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. I still prefer to keep both articles as they are but an article called Given names inspired by Game of Thrones would be better if it is redirected. If you take a look at the references cited, multiple names from the series were noted as rising in use. Redirecting it to an article on the character doesn’t mention those other names. There’s also been news coverage of late of people with these names, including a missing child/possible murder victim named Khaleesi [1] and a child model[2], just by doing a cursory Google search. Inevitably, some of these name bearers will be notable enough for their own articles and the name articles will qualify as lists/disqmbiguation pages as well as WP:GNG.

This topic is important enough to merit an article on its own as sources pass WP:SIGCOV per JClemens cogent argument. Therefore a merge/redirect discussion for purely editorial reasons (because SIGCOV is met) shouldn't happen at this venue per CONRED.

- Comment. I agree that a discussion about a redirect would have been far better at the talk pages of one or both of these articles instead of at AfD. I would likely start the article Given names inspired by Game of Thrones myself and ask for help in merging these articles to it as soon as this discussion is closed. The topic is broad enough to encompass over a dozen other names, all of which increased in use after the show. It should not be lumped in with other articles since the topic is distinct. I’m also not sure what good relisting it for a second week is likely to do. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 11:11, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- I followed the reference at the Khaleesi article that is used to justify the existence of the article beyond WP:ONEEVENT, https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/popularity_increase.html, and it doesn't show the absolute numbers, only relative ones, so it's hard to judge. The nearby entries in the same list are Adley which is a standalone article (a stub), Journey (given name) which is a standalone article (slightly larger stub), Elianna which is a redirect to a cognate and it's only mentioned in a list once, Ruth (given name) a standalone article for a comparably much older name, Shay which is a section in the disambiguation page list, and Ellis (given name) which actually says it's a masculine given name. So I don't think there's any particular reason not to proceed with the merge and redirect this there. If there's actual WP:POTENTIAL, it can easily be split back out later, when relevant encyclopedic information comes up. I'd say a single notable bearer would be a nice threshold (cf. WP:NNAME). --Joy [shallot] (talk) 11:31, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. Again, I think an article or list or whatever on Given names inspired by Game of Thrones would make more sense than merging it to the article on the character or the show. This is the reference with an explicit breakdown of the Game of Thrones names and numbers: [1] Arya and Khaleesi are the most used but some of the others that were noted were Lyanna, Daenerys, Yara, Tyrion, Brienne, Jory, Sansa, Nymeria, Theon, etc. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 12:03, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- This source doesn't necessarily attest to long-term significance of the concept as it appears to have been written at the height of the show's popularity in 2019. Did this trend have longevity? --Joy [shallot] (talk) 19:52, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- The name Khaleesi is said to have risen in use last year by the Social Security Administration, which was remarked upon by media sources. According to the U.S. statistics, which give numbers for each name used more than five times, most of these names are all still in use but some declined after the show ended. The books are still widely read and the series has yet to be completed, so who knows? Bookworm857158367 (talk) 20:22, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. I don't think we should conclude that this subject is not notable just because some other similar topics were found not notable. Let's judge each topic on it's individual merits please. A minority of similar lists were also kept because sources supported their notability. I think it is a notable topic, as per the independent, coverage as follows:
- Discussion about individuals on Nicaraguan postage stamps here: Child, Jack. “The Politics and Semiotics of the Smallest Icons of Popular Culture: Latin American Postage Stamps.” Latin American Research Review, vol. 40, no. 1, 2005, pp. 108–37. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/1555367. Accessed 22 Jun. 2022.
- Brief mention of three Nicaraguan stamp collectors appearing on stamps here: GRIFFENHAGEN, G. Stamp Collectors on Stamps: Mekeel’s & Stamps Magazine, [s. l.], v. 198, n. 26, p. 16–17, 2006.

- That the topic of people on postage stamps receives some coverage just means that a general discussion of it can be found in Postage stamps and postal history of Nicaragua (which is at present a shockinly insufficinet article, and really needs additions and expansion). To justify this article we would in my view need to have at least one if not multiple reliable sources that feel a need to include the whole of this list.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:24, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- WP:NLIST appears to be at odds with your view:
The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability
CT55555 (talk) 16:33, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- No, but the "general topic" needs to be documented, not some minor subset like stamp collectors. Fram (talk) 16:36, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- I consider that the "general topic" is people on Nicaraguan stamps. I've provided sources about royalty and their family, about Marx, G Washington and a pope and about people who collect stamps. They are people, they are on Nicaraguan postage stamps. I think that is exactly what the subject is.
- I think it's normal for subjects to be covered in part by multiple sources. The article on Spain is probably based on various books, some about history, some about culture, some about food, there might not be one book that covers everything about Spain. A list about big tornadoes in Mexico would be made from sources that cover different tornadoes, maybe a book about 1990s tornadoes, a news report about a recent one, there won't be one all encompassing source. I think I'm in normal territory for lists notability here. CT55555 (talk) 16:43, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NVG. Only one source, an ostensibly self-published blog, discusses it in depth; the other two are an ad made by the game's publisher, which is also self-published and only briefly mentions the game, and its entry in a database for Atari games that merely lists stats about the game. benǝʇᴉɯ 01:52, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

- Delete Being an old game, it's entirely possible we are missing old print sources. However, we can't assume they exist. Mobygames (itself unreliable, but a good source for finding reviews that may be reliable) has zero reviews listed, where many old games have several print magazines generally listed. There's unsurprisingly no hits in WP:VG/S's search engine. -- ferret (talk) 01:56, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
Merge and redirectto, presumably, Tutankham#Legacy, where it is mentioned. While I don't see enough coverage for an article in what is present now (I did not search myself for more), I think the commentary we have should be WP:PRESERVEd in the spirit of WP:AtD. Daranios (talk) 10:41, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Daranios: The comparisons of Abracadabra! to Tutankham seem to be original research. There are no sources for it on either page, and I can't seem to find any sources that compare the two either. I would be hesitant to merge based on that. benǝʇᴉɯ 21:56, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Changing my !vote, as below now two reviews have been found, fullfilling the minimum requirement of WP:GNG, which are supplemented by other sources. Also voids the problem of where to merge. Daranios (talk) 19:55, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

- Comment: Upon doing some further research, I found a couple old print mentions of the game, although both of them are passing. An article in Creative Computing merely says that it's a "two-player maze game", and an article in Analog Computing mentions that it's one of four arcade/action games released by TG Software. If there was an article on TG Software, we could merge it into that, but information on the company also seems to be scarce. benǝʇᴉɯ 22:04, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. Regarding [59], the Polish website, it's seem decent - as in, they do discuss their review process, they do interviews, they have a video YT channel. At the same time, they are not a traditional magazine, and are "new media". I'd classify them as fanzine, but shrug, potato, potato. Considering WP:VGRS, I think they are not worse from many other sources out there. All that said, WP:GNG requires two sources, so we are one short... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 16:01, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

- Keep? - seeing as I'm the author of the article, I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to vote, or if it's even a good practice - if not - please disregard my vote. We managed to find two contemporary sources - this game was really popular in my country back in the day, so I'm frankly somewhat surprised we couldn't find more.

- @Griggorio2: Your argument-based opinion/!vote is very welcome. The fact that you are the author does not hinder that in any way.

Rakhmatilla Akhmadjonov
Non-notable blogger. A biography of a living person should speak for itself and explain why the subject is biographically notable, which this article does not do, probably because the subject is a run-of-the-mill student and blogger. This article was already moved to draft space once and back to article space, so not moving to draft space again (except by consensus). This article says nothing about significant coverage by reliable sources. It reads like a social media profile, but Wikipedia is not a social medium. This article was written to praise its subject, but Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:54, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Delete intial plus last name is not really a good point to redirect from. Beyond this the 1904 Olympics were hardly an Olympics at all, basically just an auxiliary to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, and not really a top international competition, so assuming that there is any reason to redirect from all the names of the competitors is just plain not justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:09, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi. As this article relates to unique opportunity an individual has created being unemployed I feel this as a good motivation to the general public. He is the only case of person earning by standing in queue for someone. The article meets notability criteria for individuals. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 05:23, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ploni,DeVos Max,Oaktree b,Alexandermcnabb,John Pack Lambert and Lakun.patra. Thanks for sharing your inputs. However want to share that 1. It meets Wikipedia notability policy and 2.will be helpful to wider public 3.Given an opportunity can expand too when needed 4.No need to cover as newspaper but can highlight the efforts which can be possible by everyone. It really will help to motivate the unemployed. Kindly consider your opinion. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 03:44, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- I am 100% certain in my original conclusion. Absolutely does not meet criteria for notability, as he is famous for a single thing (violating WP:BLP1E), plus, I don't want to put too fine a point on this, the article is completely valueless. There's just not enough information on this random dude to justify making a page.
- Also, please don't try to imply that this tabloid-style article is somehow "inspiring for the unemployed", it's insulting to those suffering through economic hardship, and demonstrates that you don't know anything about the cycle of poverty.

- Delete. One advantage of this CV-like style, where all achievements no matter how minor are laid out in clear bulleted lists, is that it's easier to go through and make sure there's nothing significant that we're missing. In this case, I see nothing that could pass WP:PROF or any other notability criterion.
- Keep but improve and wikify. The discussion focuses not on notability, but on how the article has been written. The point we need for discussion is the significance of the popularizing of plant-based diets by Jeff Novick. Novick was, for a very long time, a popular traveling speaker on the importance of using good judgment in developing one's plant-based (vegan) diet - quick but witty and persuasive arguments; informative and entertaining PowerPoints; lots of practical how-to-do-it books; etc. The article could be tightened up, of course, and that would require some work. It should be included in the WikiProject Veganism and Vegetarianism. Surely something helpful could be done to make this article viable. MaynardClark (talk) 05:59, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Mathematics, and Greece. Ploni (talk) 04:53, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Does not appear to pass WP:PROF#C1, with only one publication having three-digit citation counts in a high-citation discipline [61]; pure mathematics is low-citation, but his publications appear to be on social networks, bioinformatics, and machine learning, all of which are high-citation. The long list of awards is remarkable only for the lack of significance of any of them. He appears to have published a lot, but that is not a notability criterion (nor should it be). Maybe something else will turn up to pass a different notability criterion, but I am not hopeful. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:48, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect to
List of South Western Districts cricketers (unless there's a better name?) in the long term. In the short term, while someone finds the time to create this, an alternative redirect would be simply South Western Districts (cricket team).List of South Western Districts representative cricketers - now created using a red link and the data from the category. It's incomplete but easier for other people to work on if we have something to go on (added UTC: 08:39).
- It's entirely possible that something can be found about chaps like this with enough access. That makes deletion inappropriate as we lose the page history, attribution etc... But it'll take a while for someone to create the list if you want a complete list. If you don't mind an incomplete one in the short term then that's easy to sort out.
- On the subject of WP:NSPORTS2022, the RfC which led to that specifically included the requirement to grandfather articles. This has been ignored, but the most relevant proposal which passed specifically included that and it was never removed from the proposal. If you want to delete the article based only on WP:NSPORTS2022 then that grandfathering needs to be respected. Blue Square Thing (talk) 22:11, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- There have been plenty of AfDs of sportspeople since that RfC with consensus to delete. I have never heard anyone at any of those discussions bring up a supposed grandfather clause that states that older articles cannot be deleted for failing to have sourcing. I just re-read Wugapodes' close and I don't see a requirement for grandfathering or even a reference to deletion processes. Could you quote the passage where they found consensus for that, please? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:27, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Sub-Proposal 3, which was the one that deals with single appearance criteria, has as its final line "There should also be some type of grandfathering so that if passed, there is not a sudden rush for AFD.". That received very little discussion and was never removed from the proposal. It's been ignored by everyone who's attempted to enforce the RfC. I suspect because it was never properly discussed. Blue Square Thing (talk) 04:49, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reading the actual discussion (under Sdkb's comment that starts "Object to grandfathering"), Masem clarified that he intended any such grandfathering to be temporary to prevent a mass rush to AfD older articles, not to prevent their deletion under the new sourcing requirements for all time:
I meant by grandfathering in that existing articles would be subject to this but after some sunsetting period to give editors fair time to try to improve. Not that old articles would be protected.
- Your interpretation is inconsistent with what Masem intended and how the community has been handling the deletion of sportspeople articles since the end of this RfC. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 05:27, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm sure it is. But that doesn't change what was actually passed at the RfC - and the sunsetting period has been ignored by anyone who has implemented it. What sort of sunsetting period would you suggest? Because there's an argument that runs that Masem's intentions have also been ignored by the community when it implemented the RfC close.
- You'll note that I have not suggested we keep the article. Although the chances are that with access to the right media sources we might be able to scrape something together on Barnard, the chances are that we'd be scraping a little too much. My objection is with using the new version of NSPORTS as a direct deletion rationale. If this article had come to AfD before that RfC I'd have suggested redirection then as well for the same reasons - check my AfD record if you've not convinced - but it concerns me that the rationale will end up being used for hundreds of articles where there are suitable sources that can be found. It can take days to pull them together appropriately and take hours of work - see, for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alfred Hollings. We can handle one or two of those at once. Not hundreds. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:00, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- I would argue that there is sufficient mention of opposition to a grandfathering clause in the comments to indicate that there was no consensus for one. Perhaps it was negligent of Wugs not to discount it explicitly in their close, but the time to raise that was six months ago when the RfC closed, not now at an individual AfD. In any case, even if there had been consensus for an undefined grandfathering period, six months is surely sufficient that it has now run out, so the argument about it is pointless either way. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:16, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect per Rugbyfan22. StickyWicket (talk) 10:02, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect per above. It would be one thing if those talking about a sunset clause felt that, given time, they could find sources. It would also be another thing if we were seeing repeated mass AfDs. In the event that Blue Square Thing's concerns about mass AfDs comes to pass, we can deal with it then and hopefully put a stop to it. But for now, I'm not seeing a convincing argument to keep. The fact that someone might abuse the new guideline at some unspecified point in the future and this might lead to articles being deleted that should be kept, is irrelevant to the present time. If Blue Square Thing feels that people are creating inappropriate mass AfDs now, that would be a different story and I'd reconsider my !vote. Smartyllama (talk) 18:00, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

This is a "private residential community" or subdivision/neighborhood. Although the name is recorded in GNIS, that was apparently taken from a book of Connecticut place names; it has no legal recognition as a community.

- Redirect to Danbury per nom. Redirecting to counties doesn't make sense because the division is too large, relatively speaking (nearly one million residents); also, counties in Connecticut and New England in general hold practically no relevant political power of responsibilities.
