List of mayors of Burlington, Ontario

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

Unsourced list of almost entirely non-notable people.
Burlington is large enough of a city that its mayors would probably be eligible to keep good, properly sourced articles, but not large enough that its mayors would get an automatic presumption of notability on an inadequate article just because they existed -- so of the 28 people listed here, just six of them have articles to link to, but three of those are up for AFD as not really passing NPOL #2, one hasn't been put up for AFD but it's still debatable as to whether her article is really doing enough to put her on genuinely solid notability ground, and the two whose notability is secure are both notable for having gone on to hold higher offices at NPOL #1 levels rather than for having been mayors per se.
All of which adds up to a list that we shouldn't be keeping without solid sources for it. Bearcat (talk) 20:51, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Just a strange idea for a list even. Not formatted or sourced well and yes, simply being the mayor of a mid sized city at one point in time does not confer notability.

Rick Goldring

WP:BLP of a mayor, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL #2. As always, the notability test for a mayor is not passed just by verifying his existence, and requires significant reliable source coverage supporting a substantial article about his political impact: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his leadership had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But there's no such content here at all, and in fact the article is putting significantly more emphasis on an unsuccessful candidacy for higher office than it is on his mayoralty itself -- but that's also not a notability claim either, and the article is referenced to a primary source table of election results and a small smattering of local-interest coverage nowhere near sufficient to claim that he would pass NPOL #2 on that basis.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the article from having to have considerably more substance and better referencing for it than this. Bearcat (talk) 20:34, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. Lots of sources in the article but no reliable, significant coverage. Only candidate I found is a Softpedia review: [2] (listed as a "situational source" by WP:VG/S) but even if it would be counted, 1 review wouldn't be enough. Mika1h (talk) 20:30, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep since there is signifant coverage in multiple independent reviews (findable in a few seconds (albeit amid some chaff) [3][4]. More of these reviews need to be added to the article, and some iffy sourcing replaced, but that's a WP:IMPATIENT matter. At bare minimum, it should merge to Virtual Pool; there's not an actual deletion case here. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 22:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What's missing is coverage in the top gaming-review sites, since they seem to not be big into games in this genre (not enough gore and explosions?) Lee Vilenski, below, is probably correct that pool magazines (Inside Pool, Billiard Digest, etc.) would probably have covered this with reviews around when the came out, but I'm not subscribed to any of them any longer; someone able to do detailed periodical searches, probably through a university library system, might be able to find them. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:39, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Giantbomb source you listed is a wiki that fails WP:USERG. (The article literally has a "last edited by [username] on it" note on it.) Can't comment on any others - as much as I know most of WP:VG/S by heart, I've never heard of most of the rest of those sources... Sergecross73 msg me 22:53, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - so I don't really know about this one. I've done a search about this before, but I know it gets a mention in this book, which makes me think it's probably got some genre specific sources out there - it's the sort of thing that pool magazines probably covered to death when it came out, but I don't have anything from America at that time (I doubt Snooker Scene covered it). It's clear that we don't have any VG specific RS for reviews, or they would show up through metacritic. I would however, be confused if it didn't have enough in-depth coverage due to the series it is from. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:28, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
these two sources are just press releases] but this is the sort of thing I would be expecting. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:30, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Virtual Pool. The review sources provided above do not include accepted reliable secondary sources of the type identified in WP:VG/S. It's important to avoid collating indiscriminate collections of information from various blogs and enthusiast sites that aren't verifiable or haven't been subject to editorial review. Whilst these sort of sources can sometimes supplement others to help establish an article is notable, if there simply isn't coverage from reliable mainstream secondary sources, it shouldn't pass the threshold for notability. Unfortunately, some of the more mainstream websites linked, such as TouchArcade and GiantBomb are descriptions of the game and lack independent reviews. As it currently stands, I don't think the sources, either in the article or linked above, illustrate notability. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 02:53, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Virtual Pool as a proper alternative to deletion. I have searched a lot for this, but I haven't been able to find much beyond listings, unreliable blogs (Pro9's coverage might be the only thing close to reliable source) and store links. Doesn't meet WP:GNG. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 10:15, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rob MacIsaac

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

Résumé-like biography of a civil servant and former politician, not properly referenced as having a strong claim to passing WP:NPOL. Neither mayors nor CEOs of hospitals are "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to be shown to have sufficient reliable source coverage and analysis about their work to pass WP:GNG for it -- but the referencing here is not adequate, consisting of two primary sources that are not support for notability at all, alongside a tiny smattering of "former mayor announced as appointee to hospital job" in the local media, with absolutely no coverage analyzing his mayoralty itself, or his work in the hospital job, shown at all. The article further makes a considerable number of completely unsourced claims that were added by an editor with an apparent conflict of interest as their username is highly suggestive of being one of the subject's daughters.

Poorly sourced article about a mayor of a midsized city. As always, the notability test for a mayor is not passed just by minimally verifying that he existed, and instead requires significant coverage and analysis in reliable sources with which we can write a substantial article about his political impact: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his leadership had on the development of the city, and on and so forth.
But this just basically backgrounds a bit of biographical trivia before dispatching his entire political career with one sentence, and doesn't cite nearly enough sourcing to claim that he would pass WP:GNG or WP:NPOL -- and even his military background still isn't an instant inclusion freebie in the absence of sufficient sourcing to pass GNG.

Subject fails WP:BLP1E. The article lacks WP:SUSTAINED coverage, and is based on a flurry of coverage in the news cycle; almost all of it WP:TABLOID type sensational press. WP:NOTNEWS applies here. Additionally, the article has been heavily edited by either the subject or those connected to the subject and WP:COI editing to the article and the use of the page promote the subject is concerning.

Keep. (as article creator). Page does seem to be a magnet for both WP:IDONTLIKE and COI edits, but neither are a reason to delete (hints of WP:ATD). The significant coverage in reliable sources is clear and the subject passes WP:GNG and a WP:BEFORE search would indicate significant coverage in BBC News as recently as yesterday, so I disagree there is a "flurry" of coverage, coverage is very much ongoing. I watch the article carefully and have removed any tabloid stuff (there is plenty). Notability is establised by non tabloid press such as BBC News, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Spectator and more, that high quality sourcing is already in the article.

Considering WP:NOTNEWS, which is policy and has four reasons to delete. 1 - original reporting. Nope, this is all sourced. 2 Routine coverage, also nope, the subject making headlines, the coverage is not routine, as per our definition. 3 - Who's Who which excludes people for one event and such like, this guy is notable for lots of events, 4 - Gossip and diary stuff, there is high quality reporting and analysis about the subject. Any careful reading of the policy would not support deletion.

WP:BLP1E is absolutely not met. All three criteria would need to be met, and I doubt any are. Aside from the fact that the subject is notable for multiple (similar, but that doesn't matter) events, he is absolutely not a low profile individual, thus failing criterion 2 of WP:BLP1E. (See WP:NOTBLP1E for more)

None of this matters less than the key thing: WP:GNG - which is met. Thinking of WP:THREE here's three sources that should make that utterly clear:

Of course, none of these paint the guy in a good light, but that's besides the point. He is exceptionally notable. With BBC coverage as recent as yesterday, we should not WP:RUSHDELETE CT55555(talk) 18:38, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article is largely a negative portrayal of him, for doing "things" and getting in trouble with the law over these "things" he did.

Delete While Oaktree has mentioned that the page is largely a negative portrayal of him, edit history shows this page as being in a constant edit war, including from Mizzy himself along with several sockpuppet accounts of his friends, constantly trying to add pages for his friends and even add advertisements for Mizzy's spotify and t-shirt websites. Mizzy is clearly aware of the negative image he has online, but is using this wikipedia article solely as a purpose to gain further online presence. In reality, he is not notable. Tiktok users such as Pinkydoll are much more notable online, and even their pages are being discussed for deletion. Having random articles about your arrest don't make you notable. Matan Even, the "Bill Clinton" game awards crasher, has several articles written about him, including several from this week alone, and he doesn't have a wikipedia page either.

Keep No shortage of articles regarding this internet personality - from The Guardian to The Independent to the BBC to, yes, The Daily Mail. Current delete votes seem to be factoring in quality of the page (or the individual the article is on) rather than determining notability. As in, simply because a youtuber is famous for "doing things and getting arrested", that does not discount valid coverage of them. Essentially, we can not use personal judgements regarding if coverage is about 'important stuff' or not (certainly many academic fields lack in practical importance, but there's no shortage of articles regarding fairly minor mathematicians and philosophers). The page is undoubtedly a bit of a mess, but that is also not grounds for deletion in any way. Page should likely be trimmed and potentially protected in order to prevent further abuse by both fans and opponents of this youtuber. A MINOTAUR (talk) 03:43, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@A MINOTAUR You have not addressed the policy issues raised in the nomination which are WP:BLP1E, WP:NOTNEWS, and WP:SUSTAINED. It is not enough to show significant coverage of a BLP when that coverage falls within the same limited time frame and covers the same singular topic. Lasting notability is demonstrated by the subject being known for more than one notable event, and having coverage across time. Having many sources covering the same single topic in a one month time frame does not show sustained coverage and runs afoul of three policies named above. The sourcing is not sufficient to pass our notability policies in relation to WP:Biographies of Living People which are more stringent that GNG.4meter4 (talk) 13:05, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mentioned above the BBC News coverage yesterday. Please also note coverage in Ireland last week and in Wales, yesterday

I find the suggestion that coverage all happened in one month, and that it was all related to one event, odd. Coverage is ongoing, spans many months and several events. CT55555(talk) 13:14, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think either 1E applies here but primary and routine coverage are explicitly excluded from establishing notability, regardless of whether they're independent or reliable. All of the coverage you've linked to far is both.. Alpha3031 (t • c) 16:08, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please say more about how you think Jason Okundaye's analysis in The Guardian, the BBC News reporting and the piece in The Independent are primary sources and routine?

WP:ROUTINE is defined as such things as announcements...Planned coverage of scheduled events...Wedding announcements, sports scores, crime logs, and other items that tend to get an exemption from newsworthiness discussions...sports matches, film premieres, press conferences etc.

I ask, because I feel confident you are mistaken on both counts. CT55555(talk) 16:23, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is no analysis at all, so I can't say anything about the analysis. As for routineness, click the wikilink that says "Per Wikipedia policy". The relevant part is For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion.

Though reading that bit again, it does seem to cover crime logs as well, cf also WP:CRIME and the nearby section, WP:NCRIME. Alpha3031 (t • c) 17:33, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I don't know what the various acronyms you are using mean ("PST", "OS", "cf") so that is somewhat hindering my ability to understand you here.

I think most people understand crime logs to be daily reports from police stations or or police forces with basic details of crimes. I think they are list or database entries with brief details. This is significantly and materially different from in depth reporting about single examples of alleged criminality in reliable and independent sources.

WP:PRIMARYNEWS is an essay that argues that breaking news should be considered "primary" and notes "Primary" is not another way to spell "bad". Just because most newspaper articles are primary sources does not mean that these articles are not reliable and often highly desirable independent sources." I don't consider this essay to be aligned with common consensus at AFD discussions where independent sources like BBC News, The Guardian etc tend to be viewed as optimal sources. Nonetheless, it seems like a moot point when even the essay does't argue against using such sources. Even still, The Guardian piece is not a breaking news story, but a piece of analysis. If we were to discount most news sources on Wikipedia, the encyclopedia would be a radically different from how it actually is.

WP:CRIME directs us away from creating articles about people accused of crimes if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person.. There isn't. If anyone thinks any aspect of WP:CRIME is not met by the article, I think that they should improve the article, not argue to delete it, and I think that is supported by policy: WP:ATD. CT55555(talk) 19:28, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CT55555, sorry about the typo, it was late yesterday for me which is also why I did not do a full source review of my own. I have now corrected it. PST is a section of OR, and while primary sources can often in fact be the best sources for the facts, they are not appropriate for establishing notability. Both GNG and BASIC exclude primary sources for this purpose. Additionally, it seems fairly straightforward that news without analysis, that simply state what has happened, would be considered a primary source. While not explicitly defined so by OR, it is mentioned in many of its citations. However, if you want to dispute this interpretation I'm happy to take this to either a relevant noticeboard (probably RSN, as the RS guideline also touchs on the topic in NEWSORG, again, not explicitly stating it) or a RFC. Alpha3031 (t • c) 04:35, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4 I'm just kind of having a difficult time discerning how your argument fits into the policy links. This is not like local news or a tabloid, these are large articles from major websites discussing the individual, their backstory, and their cultural impact. To ask for verifiable articles suggesting notability, be confronted with three very solid articles from @CT55555, along with articles regarding the individual over the course of a year - and then say "Well, not those.".... I'm just not quite sure what would satisfy your criteria or why the bar would be set so high for this article in particular. These sources alone confer more verifiable notability than, I'm going to say conservatively, 90% of biographical pages on Wikipedia. I'm not even sure what the "singular topic" being covered here is, as there's a laundry list of items in this page. The break in? The Piers Morgan interview? "His content" as a whole?

I don't want to come off as harsh, but I'm having a hard time understanding the general 'pitch' of this AfD. A MINOTAUR (talk) 15:17, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@A MINOTAUR Please see Beccaynr's comment below this. She did a better job at highlighting the relevant BLP policies than my initial nomination, and it expresses the concerns more concretely than what I was able to achieve. There is a certain threshold for when BLPs involving criminal activity become encyclopedic, and this hasn't reached that point. The coverage is entirely sensational and essentially WP:TABLOID press; even if found in normally reputable sources. This is a routine news cycle for sensational stories of this kind as not enough time has passed to indicate notability. We would need to see SUSTAINED covered (i.e a year or longer) that is not superficial (and these are) with neutral reporting (which these are not) that isn't sensational and designed to be click bait. When normally reputable media start publishing and behaving like disreputable media that is exactly when we need to crack the whip and enforce our BLP policy language and use good editorial judgement. A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.4meter4 (talk) 01:39, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4 I'm sorry my friend, but saying that coverage from legitimate sources, with legitimate subject matters that explore the subject in depth like The Guardian's "The disturbing rise of Mizzy: this is what happens when culture values nothing but attention" - as well as a smattering of other sources, are not something I am willing to write off or even consider for a moment as "essentially Tabloid press... even if found in normally reputable sources". I'm not really sure how I would come to that. The shoe simply doesn't fit. This is not celebrity gossip, there is no gossip occurring here. Setting arbitrary boundaries that happen to be right outside what the individual of this article possesses come off asinine and just kind of like trying to do acrobatics in order to justify the AfD rather than it being abundantly clear deletion is warrented ("Oh well sure coverage lasts for about a year... but I'd like to see it last for a year or longer..." "Sure he has 3 or 4 good articles from reputable sources but... what if they were more reputable? I'm not actually going to count a few of them this time. Could we get 6 or 7?"). I'm poking some fun at you here which I hope you don't mind, but you can see my point. Beccanyr's main concerns seems to be that this article is some hit piece on the subject - but that doesn't come across to me and overwhelmingly the page and citations within it are just providing raw facts about the individual who in this case is primarily known for notoriety gaining acts. In summary, once we start to say "Oh the BBC is a source.. until I don't like it, in which case it's a sensationalist tabloid" we might as well bin the website. Again, I apologize for any harshness but I have yet to see what I consider a solid argument for deletion and remain rather immutable here. Cheers either way. A MINOTAUR (talk) 03:44, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My concerns are policy-based, including as broadly stated in the introduction section of the biographies of living persons policy: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives; the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment.

And this article, about an 18-year-old now banned from YouTube and TikTok, appears to have been built from a few WP:RSOPINION sources ("considered reliable for statements as to their author's opinion, but not for statements asserted as fact"), such as The Guardian opinion about culture, an LBC source describing the subject as "Mizzy, the TikTok tearaway who has scandalised many viewers" [5], various reports of allegations and court proceedings, and limited coverage of the subject appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored and getting 'screamed at' on a TalkTV show. And the coverage is not WP:SUSTAINED - sources in the article and this discussion date from May 2023, although I was able to find February 2023 coverage [6] of an arrest, with July follow up [7]; and brief January 2023 coverage [8] - so we appear to have less than a year's worth of coverage, a social media career (and related notoriety) now seemingly quite limited by various bans, and what appear to be low-level pending criminal charges that are not generating extensive or in-depth coverage.

Overall though, I am not saying "Sure he has 3 or 4 good articles from reputable sources but...", I am noting that in addition to the WP:BLP policy reasons for deletion, the notability guideline also outlines guidance for us to consider, even though a topic is the subject of news coverage and some commentary, and specifically when articles should be excluded as not encyclopedic. Beccaynr (talk) 04:50, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I said already, but with regards to if the coverage is sustained, there was BBC coverage six days ago. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-66607521.

I find the reference to opinion pieces difficult. In other discussions people argue to delete when there is purely news coverage, saying that if there was analysis they would !vote to keep. And here we have analysis. I see pieces like the guardian as a good indicator of notability.

I agree that wikipedia is not a tabloid. I see how LBC is borderline, but the article is written from reliable sources and I don't see this article as spreading "titillating claims about people's lives". (emphasis on claims mine) instead it is doing what wikipedia should do, relaying neutrally facts reported in BBC News etc. I don't think this is titillating, I don't think the sources are tabloid (1 source, LBC maybe), I don't think the content is about "claims". CT55555(talk) 12:13, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

From my view, available coverage does not establish a notable social media career for O'Garro before or independently of the pending allegations of criminal conduct and various related court proceedings, including some based on what appears to be a 2022 juvenile court proceeding, which is also publicized in this article. And now, due to various social media bans, to the extent there is coverage, it appears focused on e.g. brief round-ups of low-level criminal allegations such as the BBC report linked above.

O'Garro appears to have primarily had a brief burst of sensationalized attention from e.g. Piers Morgan; the article also includes what may be a WP:COATRACK about the BBC being criticized for what the article describes as "interviewing O'Garro to boost view numbers" [9] (aka sensationalism); O'Garro getting 'screamed at' on TalkTV in June [10]; the article also suggests an opinion piece from The Spectator [11] "praised" O'Garro [12], but it actually includes: "He does not deserve to become rich and famous off the back of his appalling conduct but his 15 minutes of fame should remind us that we are a long way as a society from harnessing the potential of all our citizens. He must do better but we can do better too."

So for this article, for this subject, notability does not appear supported by reports of allegations and criminal proceedings, two thinkpieces about culture and society, and three interviews, including one criticized for apparent sensationalism, another by Piers Morgan, and one where O'Garro is, according to the article, told by the interviewer, "You glared at her in a threatening fashion. You do that again, I'll drag you out by the hair." What appears to be missing are sources that permit the development of an encyclopedic article that is compliant with the letter and spirit (to borrow a phrase from Alexandermcnabb) of BLP policy; and whether according to NOTNEWS, NOTSCANDAL, or NOTPROMO, the short burst of attention, the basis for that attention, and the nature of the coverage further appears to support deletion at this time. Beccaynr (talk) 14:38, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - reasons for deletion according to deletion policy appear to include a breach of the biographies of living persons policy and WP:NOT policy. The notability guideline has two prongs, such that an article can be asserted to be presumptively notable according to GNG but still excluded according to the What Wikipedia is not policy. This article began [13] on 26 May 2023 with a collection of opinion sources and news reports about allegations, but making apparent factual assertions of what can be commonly understood as criminal activity. Based on a recent source cited in this discussion (BBC), this subject is 18 years old, and the brief BBC report outlines a series of allegations. The current article [14] continues to state the subject has engaged in "illegal activities such as trespassing", and appears to source at least some of this to a non-RS WP:FORBESCON source [15]. The recent Irish Times interview-based coverage reviews what I think can be understood in Wikipedia policy terms as 'sensationalism' surrounding the subject, which is separate from simply being published in tabloid press - the WP:SENSATIONAL section in the event guideline appears to recognize that even reputable press can sensationalize subjects, and as an encyclopedia, we can strive to do better. From my view, beyond the WP:BLPSTYLE and WP:BLPBALANCE concerns based on the available coverage that appears to irreparably slant this article to negative coverage of allegations of criminal conduct and sensationalism, this article also seems contrary to the WP:NOTSCANDAL section of WP:NOT - this policy section includes, "Articles and content about living people are required to meet an especially high standard, as they may otherwise be libellous or infringe the subjects' right to privacy. Articles must not be written purely to attack the reputation of another person," and it does not seem possible to develop a neutral and balanced article based on reliable sources at this time. Beccaynr (talk) 23:38, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to review the sources fully and thought there might have been some secondary coverage in the articles written about the interview, but it seems like they too merely restate what has happened.

Being antisocial and unpleasant (for no cause other than garnering online attention) is, last time I looked, not itself something that creates an enduring impact on the arts, society, communities, engineering, research, human development or in fact anything else that would confer notability on someone other than some passing, perhaps prurient, press.

Personally, I think Mizzy is a low profile individual and likely to remain so. Having a brief period of fame for low level crime stunts does not indicate lasting notability on wikipedia or longterm significance (ie "high profile" attention) in the real world.

WP:LOWPROFILE is only an essay, but it is widely used at AFD to help us decide if someone is high or low profile. People who take part in media interviews, self-publicity are never considered low-profile in my experience at AFD.

WP:NOTTEMPORARY is a part of a guideline and is clear: once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage. CT55555(talk) 16:52, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly you have not participated in many BLP1E discussions at AFD. Metaphorically, read the temperature of the room. I think you will find that at AFD we do require longterm coverage of BLPs when evaluating BLP1E particularly in relation to crime; see WP:CRIME where it clearly states under our policy for perpetrators: "Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role. It's a standard measuring stick and this is policy; not an essay.4meter4 (talk)

Delete. Per WP:CRIME and more generally, WP:BLP.

I see also that it was brought up (specifically re. the Guardian article) that opinion coverage also interprets the base facts as we would expect analytical reporting to do, so this is a belated response to A MINOTAUR (and, of course, the later comment from CT55555 as well). WP:RSOPINION and the footnote in WP:OR that defines as primary op-eds, columns, blogs, and other opinion pieces draw a distinction that is not immediately straightforward or obvious. It doesn't help either, that what scholarship on the topic (for example [16]) often take the distinction as a given without clearly explaining how to distinguish between the two. I'm sure I'm not the best person to explain this, but while opinions are actually in fact secondary to the facts, at the same time the are not reliable as an objective view of the facts. We cannot use statements of opinion as secondary statements, we can only use them as a source on the subjective views of whoever wrote or said that opinion. It's the same as Morgan's "an idiot" and "product of his upbringing". There are ways for analysis to produce statements with similar meaning, for example if a journalist goes and talks to some psychologists or reviews primary research on the topic, but opinion coverage and incidental statements of opinion are not held to such standards in news publishing. I'm not sure I can explain this any better, but there is quite a bit about this in the archives of WT:RS and WT:OR, as well as in RS themselves, most commonly news organisations. It won't provide a 100% clear line, because there is no such clear line, but I hope it'll help when thinking about the difference.

Keep Passes WP:SUSTAINED and is still notable today. Too early to consider deletion Nzs9 (talk) 05:33, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how you can state that...? The consensus above is that the subject does not pass SUSTAINED which is a policy that requires "longterm coverage" (ie coverage across time). That hasn't been demonstrated with this subject and the RS evidence which is all from a very short window of time.4meter4 (talk) 14:19, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He was in the news for a few weeks and yes he got a TV interview out of it, but when you move away the media coverage of that time, he will be considered just another attention seeking social media personality who just happened to use crime for "clout". I see a case for a deletion on WP:1E grounds but he certainly fails WP:CRIME criteria. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 15:06, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Sustained coverage for a period of months in practically all of the highest profile UK news publications is, in my experience, sufficient to get over WP:NSUSTAINED. This wasn't a single event; it's multiple events, so BLP1E doesn't apply. This is someone actively seeking public attention, so the "low-profile"/"private person" elements of BLP don't apply. Just seems like a straightforward WP:BIO pass. And who can resist a story of someone who harasses people for money and clout getting into trouble? Seems like there's the possibility of a merge target for a list of internet pranksters, list of internet pranksters who have gotten into trouble, or an article on the sublime schadenfreude of watching internet pranksters struggle. Ultimately commenting rather than a keep !vote because despite all this, the spirit of BLP gives me pause: should an obnoxious kid's obnoxiousness be fixed in the public record forever? I don't know. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:46, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I'm worried about. I mean he did silly stuff now, this could be used to debase him when he moves on and gets a career and family and stuff, later in life. Say he runs for office, then they trot out the negative wikipedia article showing how "unusual" he was in his youth. Notability for being stupid online isn't really notable here. Oaktree b (talk) 14:00, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He has received significant coverage from reliable sources, so meets the general notability deadlines. Some of the coverage is from events over a year apart. This isn't just a single event. Dream Focus 03:03, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These sources don't meet the standard at WP:CRIME as they are all contemporaneous new accounts, and are therefore not sufficient to pass WP:NOTSCANDAL and WP:BLPCRIME policies. GNG is not the only relevant (nor most significant) policy argument here as the policy standard for WP:BLPs in relation to crime is more stringent than GNG under other policy guidelines.4meter4 (talk) 19:12, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chin-Up Buttercup

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

Unsourced article about an album with no strong claim to passing WP:NALBUM. To be fair, this was created at a time when Wikipedia's approach to the notability of albums was to consider any album by a notable artist to be "inherently" notable regardless of sourcing, for the purposes of completionist directoryism -- but that's long since been kiboshed, and has been replaced with the album having to have its own standalone notability claim (e.g. charting, awards, substantive coverage and analysis about the album itself) and WP:GNG-worthy sourcing to support it.
But this has no notability claim beyond existing -- it was Holly's "comeback" album after several years away from music, but didn't see anything remotely like the same kind of chart or award success she was having a decade earlier -- and cites absolutely no sourcing to establish notability on the basis of media coverage either.

Comments - This character has been around since the 40s. And the character was Dr Fate herself. There's been coverage over the years, but of course, if it doesn't exist in google, it didn't happen, I guess.

Comment, while I do agree that it's likely there may be something out there, until sources turn up, I'd say a merge would be the way to go.

Unreferenced WP:BLP written by a user with no other contributions, plus the organization he founded, tagged as an advert for over 15 years and never fixed. A quick Google finds no non-affiliated sources, which may explain why it's unreferenced. The bio reads like a resume (and had a link farm to suit until I just removed it), the organization article is an advert. Guy (help! - typo?) 10:04, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The term "Leaving Certificate" is most commonly used to refer to the Irish secondary qualification (a quick Google will show this), so I would not think many readers would expect to see any other nation's educational qualitifcations referred to with this term. Nepal's school leaving examination is called the School Leaving Certificate, abbreviated as SLC, but as the word "School" is used in the name as well, this prevents any mix ups. pinktoebeans ^(talk) 14:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If we take away Messi we're left with nothing - she's done nothing that warrants an article except for being a notable persons wife. Had she not been married to Messi she wouldn't even have an article..... I still 110% maintain she is not a notable individual and I'm genuinely perplexed that such an article should be kept essentially on the basis of "she's married to a notable person"..... I'm astounded. –Davey2010^Talk 20:22, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen this time and time again throughout the last twenty odd years. They get coverage for the divorce, appear for about a year or so as a human-interest story and then after a year of so, they dissapear. That happens all the time. All the fame here is coming from him. She was completly unknown studying to become a dentist before she met him and she would been a dentist if she hadn't met him. It is completly reflected glory and nothing else as far as I can see from the coverage. scope_creep^Talk 21:31, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per sources in the article and here. Unfortunately, it's still common to view women as sidekicks of their husbands, especially if the husband is more famous than them. It shouldn't be that way.

Does not meet WP:GNG. Almost all sources are incidental coverage of him, primarily on his wife who is the outgoing Singapore President. The only two sources here that are of him are [43] and [44], which are virtually paraphrasing of one or the other. A search on Google indicates that coverage of him are mostly him accompanying his wife during her official duties and trips.

Comment - I see that the article has been significantly altered. In my opinion, the current article, while in need of expansion, no longer reads like an advertisement, and meets both notability and verifiability thresholds by linking to multiple secondary sources.

Alexandru Sabalin

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

Lower level cyclist, no evidence of notability, sources are databases or primary, or a press release about his major win (Tour of Romania, a race for national teams consisting of amateurs and pros from minor teams) with very little information about him. Actual articles about Sabalin seem to be missing or scarce. Fram (talk) 14:56, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Cycling, and Moldova. Fram (talk) 14:56, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Cycling/Notability, the cyclist should meet one of the mentioned criteria, and Sabalin meets two of them. The second criteria is perfectly matched as he raced at three senior UCI World Championships (confirmed by official sources). he also meets the first criteria as he raced for two fully professional teams for many seasons. Also, Tour of Romania, the race he won, is 2.1 UCI Category, which makes it notable according to the same page about Cycling Notability. Andrei Anghelov (talk) 06:29, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As it says at the top of that page, "This is an essay on notability.". Sports notability essays are not generally accepted, and RfCs over the past few years have made it clear that sportspeople have to show WP:GNG notability from direct, substantial attention from non-database sources, and that participation-only notability at any level (even world championships or Olympics) isn't sufficient.

Incest in film and television

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

Just two footnotes. A terrible failure of MOS:TRIVIA, WP:NLIST, WP:GNG and WP:INDISCRIMINATE, in the form of 'random films and television featuring topic foo'. WP:NOTTVTROPES. If someone tries to rewrite Incest in popular culture (which I feel needs a WP:TNT but theoretically could be a notable topic), I doubt anything from this list of trivia would be useful there anyway.

Redirect to Incest in literature - Basically, following up on my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Incest in literature, we should not have a massive example farm spread across three articles, and rather have a singular prose article on cultural depictions of incest. As Incest in literature is in the best shape of the three, the other two lists should be consolidated over there as the basis for a rewrite. Rorshacma (talk) 16:15, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE as a pure example farm without context. Notable as the topic may be, it requires deletion as unsuitable for Wikipedia, i.e. WP:DEL-REASON #14. Wikipedia is not meant to be a TVTropes-like list about every single appearance of the subject. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:59, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Incest in literature. I support Rorshacma's scenario. There are a number of secondary sources on the topic (or sub-topic film/television or parent topic in culture, respectively), so I don't think this fails WP:NLIST/WP:GNG. Those sources likely feature some of the examples here, so it makes sense to keep the content in the history and WP:REDIRECTSARECHEAP. Daranios (talk) 12:01, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Daranios @Rorshacma Per my comments at 'in popular culture', I'd think that that article (ipc) being the most broad would make for the best redirect/merge target. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:10, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as suggested above. I'm happy to write up a short stub at Incest in literature based on the sources that have been shown in that AfD. If anyone wants to stubify this one instead of redirecting, I'd be fine with that too. But I don't feel inclined to help on an "in pop culture" or "in film and TV" article, so I won't be proposing that myself. -- asilvering (talk) 22:40, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Query: I've added several examples from international film to the list. With sources for notability (professional reviews or something?), could I migrate them to whatever redirect ends up being the outcome of this AfD? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 12:14, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Mac Dreamstate See WP:NLIST. Just referencing that work x has the theme of incest is not enough to make a list - that's fine for the article about the work itself and inclusion in the related category. To make a list, we need to show similar lists exist. And this article is not even, techically, titled "a list of". Which is why the proposed rewrite by asilverwing and me will not look like a list, but will have a bit of a prose with few examples backing up the analysis present in soruces. I hope this helps? See also similar rewrites, ex. Venus in fiction (now at FAC) and how it looked a year ago and how it looks now. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:13, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Mambas Noirs have played at least three seasons in the Beninese top division from 2005-2011 and then again in 2017 before suffering a double relegation and disappearing, so it's frustrating this article wasn't sourced when it was created back in 2010 considering it's not the easiest to source these articles. Most importantly this search shows they were significantly covered when they were in the league in 2017 and this talks about a budding rivalry with Requins from 2010. I can't access [52] as it's about a player but may be of use. This doesn't look like GNG but at least tells us who their trainer was during their 2017 top flight season. I'm also finding sources frustratingly hard to search for because a site search of 24haubenin is difficult and brings up results that searching the site thru a web indexer does not, for instance this and this is not SIGCOV but demonstrate how they and several other clubs were kicked out after the season was abandoned in 2010. It's going to be a slog to source but I'm absolutely convinced a sourced stub is possible here. SportingFlyer T·C 11:36, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A Godzilla kaiju who has two major film roles. Despite in universe notability, the character is an all-plot article, and a search yields very little in terms of developmental info and reception.

The result was no consensus‎. As with the previous administrator who closed this, I'm just not seeing a consensus. There are some weak keep arguments; it is policy that this topic is required to meet NCORP, and not the somewhat lower bar of GNG: as such there are a couple of "keeps" that receive lower weight. However, when sources have been provided that ostensibly meet NCORP, there is the expectation that those arguing to delete rebut those sources. The OP has provided reasoned arguments against the provided sources, but multiple other "delete" arguments have not done so; and many predate some detailed source analysis. As such I cannot give those !votes full weight either. The remainder are evenly divided, and have a basis in policy. With NCORP, just as any other notability criterion, reasonable editors may disagree about borderline topics; specifically, how a source needs to show itself independent, and what volume of coverage is necessary to be significant. This topic clearly falls into that gray area, and I see no basis for further weighting that would tilt this toward consensus one way or the other.

Oaktree b, do you not think that the Bleacherreport fails ORGIND seeing as how it relies entirely on information provided by its founder and his twitter post? And the same with the UPI report - based entirely on the announcment and quotes from Butler? What am I missing here? Why do you think these meet GNG/NCORP criteria? HighKing⁺⁺ 12:42, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
UPI is a press agency and is generally considered RS. There's this from a Canadian sports network [55], this from CNBC [56], we have at least five RS discussing the event. That's GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 13:22, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oaktree b, I don't think you've addressed the question. You're simply commenting on the basic requirement that each must be a reliable source. I'm assuming all the sources meet RS. But as you know, this is a company and therefore we look to WP:NCORP to see how to implement GNG. Which includes the requirement for in-depth WP:CORPDEPTH "Independent Content" WP:ORGIND. Are you just deciding to ignore NCORP? If not, can you point to specific paragraphs in any of those sources which meet NCORP WP:SIRS? Thanks. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Oaktree b, you might note that WP:SIRS tells you how to apply the criteria. In particular, lets look at WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH (below). HighKing⁺⁺ 10:35, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Featured in Men's Health magazine [57]. Coverage in the sports press, the business press, the health press, the general entertainment press, in the USA and Canada. We're well past notability. Oaktree b (talk) 04:49, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, can you point out a specific paragraph in a specific reference which meets WP:SIRS/NCORP? We're agreed that because this topic is about a company, GNG/WP:NCORP applies. It says we require at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. So references cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company or their execs - for example, articles that rely entirely on interviews, quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, website information, etc - even if slightly modified - if it isn't *clearly* showing independent content then it fails ORGIND.
So looking at the Men's Health article, which paragraph meets NCORP? I mean the entire thing is recounting an "exclusive interview" with the founder and we need to see *in-depth* information about the company which *clearly* does not originate from Butler. All of the "detail" comes from Butler. For example, paragraph 4 starts with "BIgface has come a long was in a seemingly short amount of time" which is clearly an opinion of the author but might get your hopes up for the remainder of the paragraph. Next sentence talks about Butler. Next is about one of the company's first coffee releases winning a prize. But then the last sentence makes it obvious that the preceding sentence was a regurgitation of Butler recounting his version of the beginning of the "journey". So no, not only fails ORGIND but also fails CORPDEPTH. HighKing⁺⁺ 10:35, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I think this is a strange one - the company was founded by someone who is a 10 out of 10 notable athlete and hasn't really been covered outside of him, but also has been covered a lot. It clearly passes WP:GNG while appearing to fail WP:NCORP, but NCORP is designed to avoid coverage from press release situations and doesn't really cover companies like this. I'm neutral, defaulting to an IAR weak keep. SportingFlyer T·C 19:24, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
comment @SportingFlyer I agree. As you say the purpose of the guideline is to avoid "press release situations" which leverage lazy journalism into newspaper coverage, i.e., where news articles don't show journalistic labours like fact-checking, research, quotes from other sources, etc.

Articles like this appear to fail WP:NCORP only if one accepts the position advanced by @HighKing above ("we need to see *in-depth* information about the company which *clearly* does not originate from [the article subject]"). That collapses in-depth and independent into a single test, effectively requiring a source that could satisfy WP:SIRS without relying at all on facts provided by the article subject. That's not an obvious, or even fair, gloss on the wording of WP:CORPDEPTH. Even if it was, common sense should consider (as you suggest) if the volume of coverage argues against a finding of no-notability.

Keep notability has been shown based at least on:

the Bleacher Report article[[58]] (investigates the history of the business enterprise and includes content from others on twitter)
the Sun Sentinel Article [59] (not very long, but includes information not sourced from Butler), and
this Mirror article [60] which I've added to the article (analysis and commentary and relies on external sources to comment on his plans)

Oblivy (talk) 02:00, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:SIRS which effectively "collapses in-depth and independent into a single test". The "Independent Content" of WP:ORGIND requires in-depth analysis/opinion/etc on the topic company. Content that relies entirely on interviews with the owner/founder are not independent even if a related party produces a narrative that is then copied, regurgitated, and published in whole or in part by independent parties. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:24, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Let's look at the entire text, not just the part you snipped:

Independence of the content (or intellectual independence): the content must not be produced by interested parties. Often a related party produces a narrative that is then copied, regurgitated, and published in whole or in part by independent parties (as exemplified by churnalism). Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

That's 100% consistent with what I was saying above, echoing @SportingFlyer, that the rule is there to exclude coverage that results from shoveling mere PR content from a company into a news article.

The last sentence, which you omitted from your comment, says the content must include independent journalistic efforts. Perhaps you would prefer (and feel free to RFC the change, which I'll probably oppose) if WP:SIRS instead said:

Independent content, in order to count towards notability must include substantial content sourced from unaffiliated sources.

It doesn't.

Your gloss on the rule collapses "S" and "I" into a single standard, i.e., that there has to be substantial independent content in each article, counting only facts derived through gumshoe journalism rather than through relying on facts provided by persons with the best knowledge and then checking/investigating/analyzing using other journalistic tools. This reading is not dictated by the words of WP:SIRS or other relevant policy, is insulting to the by-lined journalists and the reputable publications for whom they write, and risks deleting (as has happened in the past) in-depth articles which are well supported by independent, good faith journalism. Oblivy (talk) 01:14, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I confess, your point isn't particularly clear to me, apologies. I may be wrong, but what I think you're saying is that you can meet the "I" (Independent Content or ORGIND) requirement if the article contains some content, even trivial content, and that is a separate test from the "S" (significant coverage or CORPDEPTH) requirement whereby content provided by a source connected to the company may be used to meet this requirement. Content (including interviews/quotes/attributed fact/etc) that has been produced/created by a source affiliated with the company is not evaluated for the purposes of establishing notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:03, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What I'm saying is, if an article is in-depth then it's S. And if the source is independent of the article subject it's I. Your reading of WP:ORGIND collapses the two creating a needlessly high bar inconsistent with the purpose of the policy which is patently to avoid press releases from transforming into reliable sources just because they got republished by a third party.

Note that WP:ORGIND refers to "independent source" 15 times, and only says "independent content" once, and it's talking about who "produced" the content (again, supporting the idea of not allowing regurgitated press releases). Oblivy (talk) 12:35, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification Oblivy, I think my understanding above was in-line with what you're saying above. I disagree with this interpretation for the following reasons.

You've quoted ORGIND in full above and then explained that the text is 100% consistent with what I was saying above, echoing @SportingFlyer, that the rule is there to exclude coverage that results from shoveling mere PR content from a company into a news article. The last sentence, which you omitted from your comment, says the content must include independent journalistic efforts. Let's break that down.
First, the rule is not solely to exclude mere PR content. Elsewhere you've also said that the purpose of the NCORP guidelines is to avoid press releases transforming into reliable sources. This interpretation is very limiting and incorrect (or only partially correct). The purpose of the NCORP guidelines is to avoid relying on *content* produced by the *company* (or entities associated with the company) from being used for the purposes of establishing notability.
Second, it doesn't say that the content must include what you describe as "independent journalistic efforts". It clearly states there is a requirement for the author to provide in-depth content in the form of original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Can you point to a specific paragraph in any of the sources where you believe this type of content (i.e. "Independent Content") is contained?
Finally, from my understanding of the method you are using in applying the tests outlined in WP:SIRS, in essence you are pushing for an interpretation whereby content produced by a Primary source (i.e. an interview with a founder) can fail ORGIND but be used to meet CORPDEPTH, and other content from the author and therefore from a source unaffiliated with the topic company can be used to meet ORGIND (notwithstanding the point above) even though it fails CORPDEPTH. This is an incorrect interpretation, if content fails one of the tests it cannot be used to effectively pass another of the tests. If that were so, one effect of this interpretation is that content from affiliated sources and Primary sources which contains in-depth details could be used to establish notability.

Perhaps if you don't accept what I'm saying above and maybe I'm not very good at explaining it, we could ask a question at the NCORP Talk page? HighKing⁺⁺ 15:01, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Taking your three bullet points in order:

certainly we agree a company shouldn't be able to get a press release (or equivalent) published and have it count toward notability. But you use the word "content produced by a primary source" to describe any article that relies mainly on facts provided by the article source, as if there's no role for the journalist or their editors. Look at the bulleted examples under "dependent coverage“ -- they don't describe journalists making use of information obtained from a company while otherwise performing the journalism task in good faith;
yes, independent journalistic efforts is an attempt to summarize the last sentence of the quoted language. Those words aren't in the policy but you understood what I was referring to. Your proposed reading would practically excise those words out of the text of SIRS. If you look at the Mirror article it clearly includes efforts to contextualize this business as part of his career (analysis), and the journalist sought information from people other than the article subject to help with that task (investigation, fact checking);
I'm not going to engage in any detail with point 3 because it's full of loaded language; this doesn't fail ORGIND (or any test), and I'm not advocating for "content from a primary source".

Not sure "asking a question" at the policy talk page is appropriate. The policy is in force and we should discuss here whether article meets the policy as it is written. Trying to divert this to elite interpretation risks reinforcing the divide between the language as written and how it is proposed to be applied by editors such as yourself. Paraphrasing a comment made elsewhere, the discussion is happening here, and let's keep it here.

But I would like to see an end to the kinds of comments above like "as you've been told in the past" and "you should realize". While you may be frustrated your reading of the policy is being put to question, I'd ask you to hesitate before suggesting other editors are acting improperly if they don't yield to your view. I certainly regret not pushing back more against such pressure in the past. By all appearances @Oaktree b had a similar view to mine but gave up. If you disagree with an argument, fine, but scolding people like that doesn't seem very AGF-y. Oblivy (talk) 06:58, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll start at the last point. When I was referring Oaktree to previous discussions at AfD, those points weren't being made by me but by other editors. I cannot recall having a similar discussion with Oaktree b on this topic in the past. I recognise Oaktree b from their participation at NCORP-related AfDs and consensus is that NCORP describes the application of GNG for certain topics so saying a topic "passes GNG but fails NCORP" makes no sense. I would have expected Oaktree b to be aware and to know that and in that context, their response knowingly ignores consensus.

For the rest, I've read what you're saying several times. There is no equivalency between your substitution of your own words and meanings to the carefully curated words and phrases that are in the guidelines. Your claim that your interpretation is as the guidelines are written does not stand up to scrutiny and this was the purpose of my last post, and you have failed to engage with any of the substantive points. Fine, you will hopefully continue to engage with other editors also at AfD and perhaps some of the things I've said above make might make more sense to you in the future and with more experience at NCORP-related AfDs. I've posted a question at the NCORP Talk page here. Apologies if my writing style can appear abrupt or "scolding", it is not my mindset nor my intention to come across like that (it is a difficult thing to change and I'm working on it). Although we have disagreed and are each holding to our views, thank you for AGF and being nice about it. HighKing⁺⁺ 13:11, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Briefly,

1) Yes, I looked again at the exchange and agree that GNG not NCORP was worth correcting, sorry, although the 2nd one seems a bit more aggressive (we all have our moments, but still...);

2) The carefully curated words don't mean what you say they do, at least not in this situation. I have read them very carefully. But we're not going to agree on that. I'm not trying to change them by using other words, but quoting huge chunks of text doesn't work in this context. Oblivy (talk) 11:16, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Coverage does not meet NCORP's strict standards for what contributes to GNG. NCORP (and GNG for that matter) is very clear that content must be both independent and SIGCOV to count towards notability. It'd be utterly nonsensical if merely tacking on a trivial sentence of independent commentary magically transformed a non-independent Q&A interview into an ORGCRIT-meeting source. Just as a source with significant independent analysis of the topic doesn't get disqualified just because it also contains a quote--we simply exclude the quote when evaluating ORGCRIT for that source. This proposed system of intra-source unidirectionally-distributive SIRS components is not supported by any PAGs. JoelleJay (talk) 19:30, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (and comment; as well as disclaimer as article's creator) I'm saying keep as per the reasons given by previous editors in this discussion. I'm also puzzled by the second relisting. This was 4 keeps, 1 weak keep, and 3 deletes after two weeks of discussion. Both ample amounts of editors discussing as well as lengthy discussions based around policy/guideline were present. Honestly didn't really understand the initial relisting and obviously AfD isn't a vote, but the second relisting really does confuse me as, again, there were already a lot of opinions given and they were well thought out and based on policies or guidelines. I think this should've just been closed as no consensus. Another thing I'd like to address is "synth". I don't really get why that's getting said. I didn't "SYNTH" anything, just took what sourcing on Bigface has said and put it in chronological order in this article to give readers an easy-to-digest company/brand history format to read. I think this discussion got bogged down and ended up becoming an acronym dump and a reminder for me that sometimes discussions are hard to follow when they get put into a really esoteric place. I get that all the policies or guidelines brought up are important or have value or merit to them, but maybe that's maybe been at the detriment of a simple eye test. Obviously that's subjective and hard to put into words, but it's pretty clear that third-party reliable sources have covered Bigface as a company (and/or brand, not sure if there is a distinction that matters or is relevant here on Wikipedia) in a way that helps establish notability. With this being now the third week that this discussion is up (after 3+ weeks of the topic of this article's notability already being put into question, and therefore rattling around in my mind), my feelings on the matter are best said by the guideline page: "while having a deletion notice on a page is not harmful, its presence over several weeks can become disheartening for its editors." Soulbust (talk) 19:22, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
comment I've added some information and sourcing to the article. I found these two sources (1, and 2) that I believe fill that criteria of being sources that "contain independent content showing in-depth information on the company." The latter I still need to incorporate into the article. I also found this source [from Sports Illustrated (SI). I think deleting this article would be ridiculous and that redirecting/merging would be more sensible. The obvious target would be to Jimmy Butler, but including this information would cause undue weight as I mentioned on the talk page discussion about this. That SI article I think gives a good in-depth coverage on Butler's passion for coffee, as do a lot of the sources already present in the article. So, my take is definitely still to keep this article, but given the more than ample sourcing present on the topic, I think renaming this article to Jimmy Butler and coffee and restructuring it would be preferable to deleting or merging. There is also precedent for such a topic as one can see with Fidel Castro and dairy. That is just an alternative though, and again, I would still opt to keep this straight up at Bigface. Soulbust (talk) 20:22, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the delay was partly because some of the interpretation being applied was being discussed at the NCORP Talk page here which may assist a closing admin. Or not. But it isn't uncommon for AfDs to take this long and longer. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:43, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Response Looked at the sources you mentioned/added.

This Afrotech reference fails for a couple of reasons. First, Afrotech is a marketing platform owned by Blavity targetting "black and multicultural consumers on a deeper level" and delivering "digital campaigns by strategically distributing content" across multiple platforms. The article itself has no "Independent Content" as per WP:ORGIND, just regurgitating company news and repeating stuff published in Sports Illustrated. Fails RS/GNG/NCORP.
Sports Business Journal article is likewise totally void of any Independent Content whatsoever, relying on promotion by Butler's agent, Bernie Lee, who retells the folksy stories of the startup along with more folksy marketing bumpf from Britt Berg, the COO. Fails ORGIND/GNG/NCORP
Sports Illustrated article starts off in the first sentence acknowledging that the article is based on interviewing Butler. More folksey marketing without a single sentence of "Independent Content". Fails ORGIND/GNG/NCORP.

Those three sources are prime examples of the types of sources that NCORP was designed to specifically exclude for the purposes of establishing notability. They are thinly disguised marketing (and not even very thinly disguised at that). HighKing⁺⁺ 15:13, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I included the SI reference as one that would be good for inclusion if this article were to be retitled/restructured to Jimmy Butler and coffee, but forgot to be clear about that. My bad on that.

I just think once this conversation became ORGIND this and CORPDEPTH that, it began to lose any interest to me in terms of really wanting to participate. If I hadn't created this article, I wouldn't really have any desire to engage in that sort of conversation because to be honest, we're talking about a company/brand founded by an All-NBA player; and one covered by sources like AP News, ESPN, CNBC, Sports Illustrated; and one that's part of the Shopify Creator Program; and one that's collaborated with Van Leeuwen Ice Cream; as well as served as an official sponsor for ATP Tour Masters 1000. So if whatever guideline says this article fails its criteria, and we're talking about that sort of company, then maybe that criteria isn't bulletproof. And not saying that it has to be. But when enough people opine that this does, even if barely (i.e. weak keep) passes GNG, then maybe ignore all rules can be reasonably applied here. Soulbust (talk) 03:22, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm somewhat sympathetic to the IAR argument put forward by SportingFlyer and sorry to Soulbust for this dragging on so long, the standard for notablitity, as per our inclusion standards, rise beyond mere coverage. Newsworthiness is well established here, but notability is not that. There is perhaps some encyclopedic content that could be written about the subject, but that content would be much less than the extensive history of everything surrounding the subject, as told to and republished by the news (Wikipedia:Interviews is also somewhat applicable here). Perhaps this could be made clearer in the subject specific guideline but the coverage based criteria do not, and were not intended to, exclude only cases of "self promotion and indiscriminate publicity", or PR material like press releases. But the depth of secondary analysis is unfortunately not sufficent to support a standalone article at this time. I would recommend a redirect. Alpha3031 (t • c) 16:42, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've no objection to a Redirect to Jimmy Butler as per WP:ATD. HighKing⁺⁺ 17:35, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto. JFHJr (㊟) 17:38, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah except redirecting to Jimmy Butler would again create undue weight since there is a considerable amount of coverage on the issue. What does "our inclusion standards" even mean? Yes, I get that mere coverage isn't enough, but coverage on Bigface isn't at a bare minimum level or anything. Excluding sources that serve to cite background information (basically that first paragraph in the Origins section), there's about ~30 sources that go pretty in-depth into Bigface. Again, this would create undue weight if placed on the Jimmy Butler page. Also, because I think it may have been glossed over, I brought up two sources: (1, and 2) that again, meet the criteria of being significant sources containing independent content showing in-depth information on the company (in this case, as opposed to on Butler). I also agree with Oblivy's previous statements and the sources they listed as ones that also meet this criteria. I think they worded my feelings on the policy and guideline in a better way than I could. And once again, as an alternative to deletion and alternative to a redirect, I think retitling this article to Jimmy Butler and coffee and restructuring this article to be based around that in a way that is similar to Fidel Castro and dairy would be better than redirecting to Jimmy Butler. That redirect would probably result in ~a paragraph getting merged in and gutting a lot of encyclopedic-appropriate information in the process. I think the IAR sentiment brought up by SportingFlyer is somewhat similar to my eye test comment, as this is a case where the NCORP guideline is understandably strict to ensure there is some standard being upheld, but that (perhaps excessive) strictness can run counter to spirit of creating legitimate articles on legitimate topics. Soulbust (talk) 20:01, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Re redirecting to Jimmy Butler would again create undue weight: Spinning off a separate does not automatically alleviate issues with undue weight, as per WP:SPINOFF, with two examples. I do apologise for neglecting to comment on those two sources, but the first fails ORGDEPTH, and the second (though I'm willing to be convinced otherwise) is questionable re ORGIND. The sources (all of them, taken collectively) do not meet the criteria, whether subject specific (organisations and companies), or generally. Alpha3031 (t • c) 12:56, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. Comes close enough to fulfilling WP:HEY for me. Has some work to do, but notability has been established at the very least.

@Liz: Hi, this would be the third time this discussion is being relisted. WP:RELIST states "in general, debates should not be relisted more than twice. Users relisting a debate for a third (or further) time, or relisting a debate with a substantial number of commenters, should write a short explanation either within the [relist] template, or in addition to it, on why they did not consider the debate sufficient."

You said you don't see a consensus here, which I agree with. I am not against it being relisted per se, but I am confused as to why this would be relisted a further time, as opposed to being closed as "no consensus"? Soulbust (talk) 03:27, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How would you summarise the argument for Keep based on the participation to date? As it stands, there are 5 Delete/Redirect !votes plus 4 Keeps that either admit sourcing fails NCORP (or agree with !votes that admit) or that sourcing needs a thorough review - against arguments presented by three editors who either presented novel arguments which were rejected at NCORP Talk or are left invoking IAR. For me, why can't the Keep !votes point to a single source that they can stand over as meeting the criteria for establishing notability? HighKing⁺⁺ 15:40, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't summarize the argument. I wouldn't theoretically want that admin responsibility, and also don't enjoy AfDs, especially when they turn into "agree to disagree" takes about policy (which is why I tried to avoid this one as long as I did). This one also had the added aspect of being fairly deep into acronym-dumping (don't intend that to have any sort of harsh connotation, just don't know a better way to phrase it rn). And for some that's not a problem, but I usually check out when the conversation ends up like this, and this one in particular has gone on longer and much more in-depth than any I've been a part of (or at least recall being a part of).

Also, I don't think sourcing fails NCORP, and I'll see if I can do that "thorough review" within the next 2-3 days (I am a little bit busy offline atm — — also, I am assuming based on previous discussion that the "how to apply the criteria" is the relevant checklist for that review).

Having created the article and going through the sourcing in the moment of creating + adding info to the article, I do firmly believe there are at least 2 sources that meet the criteria. And just in case my response a little bit above ("I included the SI reference...") from earlier was missed (I totally understand, this conversation is again very in-depth and branching), I just think the overall criteria isn't bulletproof and applying it to its strict letter can cause the spirit of what it is trying to do to be lost, and therefore cause legitimate articles on legitimate topics such as this to be deleted or redirected as well. And I think other editors who have said to keep this article (either keep or weak keep) would at least somewhat agree with that, given the IAR sentiments, and the sentiments that the sourcing indeed meets GNG. Soulbust (talk) 04:26, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I said above why NCORP/SIRS is met (barely) and don't want to reopen that discussion. But it's fair to say the NCORP talk page discussion did not "reject" the idea that WP:ORGIND doesn't mandate disregarding all information sourced from the organization. Most of the editors voicing that opinion on the talk page also voted here. That discussion IMHO should not be given any weight at this AfD. Oblivy (talk) 05:57, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Soulbust, I did make a short comment saying that I didn't see a consensus yet. But I never relist more than three times. At that point I'll close as "No consensus". I tend to rely more on relisting than closing discussions as No consensus until that seems like the only option because I find that No consensus closures usually are dissatisfying for editors on all sides of a discussion, neither those advocating Keep nor those arguing for Delete are satisfied with No consensus closures. And I will say that I have seen discussions completely change after 3 relistings, sometimes editors suddenly start showing up and making thoughtful arguments that weren't present until then.

But that is just my practice, we have hundreds of admins, probably about a dozen of them help out when they can at AFD and so just because I don't see a consensus doesn't mean that another admin won't and close this one early. I'm just one admin and while I do spend a lot of time assessing AFD discussions lately, my admin opinion isn't the only one here. By the way, we could use a few more admins, with their own approaches, helping out at AFD but it's August and it seems like a lot of editors and admins are spending time doing activities that don't involve being online and editing Wikipedia. I seem to be closing more discussions than usual but I would love more admins and NACs to share the workload, some of whom might agree with you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:24, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: Okay no problem at all. I was just confused as I don't think or at least don't recall being involved in AfD this in-depth before, as I try my best to avoid the situation. But what you said about "no consensus" closures being dissatisfying is definitely a sensible explanation. Thank you for the response and for all your hard work! It is much appreciated! Best wishes, Soulbust (talk) 04:11, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This shouldn't be closed as No Consensus. We have Keep !votes that admit it doesn't meet NCORP. We have two editors who are dragging their heels and trying to find loopholes in our guidelines. HighKing⁺⁺ 08:39, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I did an assessment of the 36 sources present in this article, as well as 5 additional sources not present. To not make this a huge chunk of text, the wikilink to that is at my user general draft page. The source #s align with the 1-36 present here. For 37-41, I externally linked them on that assessment. There are 6 sources I believe do pass the SIRS criteria (#s 4, 11, 12, 24, 36, and 38). There are 6 more I am unsure about (mainly due to me being unsure if the source itself has been cleared as a reliable source) and 7 more that I would say perhaps. I add notes for these 19 sources that explain why I categorize them as a "yes", "unsure", or "perhaps". Of the remaining 22 sources, I think 18 probably do straight up fail the SIRS criteria. The other 4 are just not applicable as they only source background information that provides the context around the bubble situation. Regardless again, 6 sources that I think do already and 5 more that do if they are considered reliable. Soulbust (talk) 05:58, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relist note while I closed this as N/C, HighKing and I subsequently discussed it, and while I don't see a consensus and they did not ask me to relist, I do think I may have assessed the !votes incorrectly so willing to reopen the conversation and have someone else assess it for closing. Star Mississippi 02:44, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is pretty odd to me that this got relisted four days after being closed as no consensus, and due to a discussion with an editor already on record pushing for deletion. Additionally, this is now the 4th relisting, which seems like unfair harsh scrutiny to just kick it down a further week; it's particularly unfair (imo) when opinion seems rather evenly divided - logically and literally speaking, no consensus seems to me a fair call. Even disregarding offline commitments, this discussion has made me rather burnt out. Soulbust (talk) 02:59, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There was no lack of discussion prior to the close, and aside from a single "delete per args above" there was no change in voting after @Liz said she saw no consensus. Burnt out doesn't even begin to capture this moment for me. Oblivy (talk) 03:33, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This article clears NCORP with flying colours. For WP:THREE, I’d pick Young (CNBC, 01 Oct 21), Fillari (Sprudge, 30 Mar 22) and McCarthy (Good Morning America, 20 Jun 22). Together, they meet WP:CORPDEPTH. The first focuses on origin and backstory; the second on the company’s place in the industry, plans and objectives; and the third concerns continuing notability and wider coverage. None are casual or passing mentions; the subject is the focus of each. All three meet WP:SIRS as reliable, independent, secondary sources. All three are impeccable sources for the subject matter. Like Soulbust (thank you for superb research), I have read the articles repeatedly and all three meet SIRS. This discussion has gone on far too long. The NCORP objection has been thoroughly and repeatedly refuted. It’s time to close this as Keep. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:07, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CNBC source is entirely based on an interview - says it in the 3rd paragraph. Fails ORGIND. Sprudge is entirely based on an interview - says it in the headline. Fails ORGIND. Good Morning America is based on the presenters visiting his pop-up and interviewing Butler. Just watch the video. Fails ORGIND. Fails SIRS. Fails NCORP.

Can any of the Keep !voters who claim that sources meet GNG/NCORP simply point to any particular paragraph in any particular source (e.g. Para 3 starting with "One day..." from XYZ source) so that we can quickly assess both the "Independent Content" (i.e. not relying on company/exec) and the significant in-depth info about the company? HighKing⁺⁺ 16:31, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your position is that no source that quotes an interview can be an RS? Wow. That's... novel. Please supply the policy that suggests that to be true. Even if it were policy, the Sprudge and CNBC articles were not entirely based on interviews with Butler. Fillari included an interview after a clear and independent summary of the company, and Young included quite a bit that he does not attribute to the Butler, including the Spotify entrepreneur info. Please provide your RS that shows the author [is] related to the company, organization, or product or that a related party produce[d] a narrative that [was] then copied, regurgitated, and published in whole or in part by Fillari and Young. As for GMA, you must have watched a different clip. The quoted one is about the collaboration between Van Leeuwen and Bigface with a heavy focus on the history and character of the latter. You keep saying that the sources fail SIRS and NCORP with no evidence at all other than WP:IDONTLIKEIT. To misquote Inigo Montoya, "You keep using those policies. I do not think they mean what you think they mean." SIRS is very specific, and all three sources I mentioned (and most of the others in the article) match its definition. Ditto for NCORP. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:48, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies. I forgot that you also asked for a quote. From Fillari: "What began as a 2020 NBA bubble pop-up is now the official coffee brand for the players and VIP lounges at the Masters and WTA 1000 events in Miami, some of the biggest tennis tournaments in the world outside the four Majors... Located in the North Sideline Club of Hard Rock Stadium, BIGFACE has carved-out an immersive coffee experience that appeals to all coffee drinkers." Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:53, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's not my position. Articles can of course include quotes/interviews but there must also be significant in-depth content *about the company* that is clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. This is just PR bumpf - he's pretty good at that. The Shopify (not spotify) info is about Butler, not the company, so irrelevant. The GMA clip is entirely based on an interview and they show a clip in the article which I mentioned. Looking just at the text of the article, it is attributable to people connected with the company (partners, etc). The section of NCORP which provides the basis is the WP:ORGIND section (which I pointed to above). It requires independent content - that is content that is *clearly* *attributable* to a source *unaffiliated* to the subject. The "quote" you've provided is a summary in the lead-in to the interview and likely provided as part of the interview or press pack. It is insufficient to meet CORPDEPTH, even taking them as CORPDEPTH they're only a couple of sentences. Here's much the same information provided ahead of another interview from Butler a couple of days later. Maybe try finding a source which doesn't rely on Butler and Bigface for all the information? HighKing⁺⁺ 20:24, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HighKing, I kindly ask that you step back. If you have replied to half the people who disagree with you it may be time to step back a little. As you have used the same argument to every single person who has disagreed with your specific reading of policy (one with which I and other editors disagree) I am asking that you do so. Please and thank you. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 21:10, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I can do that, it's trying to find a balance, especially in circumstances where I've been name-checked in the reopen by the previous closing admin. It would also be easy to disengage if editors didn't misrepresent guidelines and what I've said. For example, you say lots here have disagreed with my "specific reading" of NCORP - but nobody here has pointed to an alternative reading which has consensus. Oblivy posited an alternative earlier above but didn't find support at NCORP Talk where that novel interpretation was discussed. Your position appears to have been to challenge the existence of a section that supports the interpretation above (which is the community consensus position), and then when that section was specifically pointed out to you, your response is a request I step back because of BLUDGEON. OK. Having clarified those points I won't engage with you further if that is your wish. HighKing⁺⁺ 10:24, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Two modest points, as like HighKing I've already said a lot in this discussion:

there may be a vanishingly fine line between disagreeing with an editor about their position and "misrepresent[ing] guidelines and what I've said", particularly when what the editor said can be found in the same discussion thread; and
consensus can change is policy, and arguing for a reading of policy that hasn't necessarily reached consensus should be encouraged, particularly where that interpretation has been advanced by a large number of editors in other discussions.

Oblivy (talk) 03:02, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Individual AfDs are not really the appropriate place to advocate for wide ranging changes to PAG. For one, my understanding of how OUTCOMES has been applied more recently is that AfDs should typically be read narrowly. Alpha3031 (t • c) 06:42, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was responding to the suggestion it was not OK for editors to discuss a possible application of policy wording in the face of a claim there's some consensus the words should be interpreted in another way. Apologies if I gave the impression I was proposing a policy or guideline change. And I agree, if policy/guideline wording needs to be changed that discussion should take place elsewhere.

The result was keep‎. Per WP:SNOW, I am closing this discussion early because it is clear that it will have no other outcome.

This discussion was previously closed, also using the WP:SNOW rationale, but the closer reopened the discussion after some editors objected to the close on their user talk page. Respectfully, I disagree that SNOW is inappropriate. SNOW does not require unanimity—we employ SNOW as a pragmatic, time-saving measure in cases where it is evident that further discussion has negligible chance of changing the outcome. This is one of those cases.

A portion of the small minority of the editors who argue that the page should not be kept have pointed to WP:NOPAGE to argue that, while the article's subject may be notable, it makes more sense from an editorial standpoint to write about it in the context of the broader Georgia election racketeering prosecution article. Another portion points to WP:NOTNEWS to argue that, while it's clear the article's subject is newsworthy, it may be premature to determine if it is encyclopedia-worthy. The participants here have broadly rejected those arguments, describing the image as historically significant and pointing to the depth of coverage that exists about it as evidence.

Initially WP:BLAR'd by LilianaUwU, but contested. Per WP:NOPAGE, at times it is better to cover a notable topic as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context. This is one of those times; the subject is adequately covered in the article Georgia election racketeering prosecution and it would be better to cover this as one topic rather than making what amounts to a premature content fork. For these reasons, this should be blanked-and-redirected to the aforementioned article, where the subject would be better covered. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:20, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Widely described as a historic photograph, the most iconic photograph of a US president ever taken. Highly anticipated and subject of extensive media commentary even for months before it was taken, and extensive commentary and analysis after it was published. Clearly notable as a photograph. In my view its notability, its notoriety, and its iconic status extend far beyond the investigation and prosecution in Georgia; therefore, merging it with any of the Georgia articles is not appropriate. (I'm the creator of the article) --Tataral (talk) 02:24, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Come on, this is all over national media and is historic for any U.S. president and is notable in its own right. Even Nixon never had a mug shot taken of him at any point. Being relevant to the prosecution of Trump doesn't make it not notable in its own right. Master of Time (talk) 02:24, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not contesting this photo's notability. To the contrary, WP:NOPAGE is about where we cover notable topics and how that information is organized on Wikipedia. There are cases, such as this one, where several related topics, each of them similarly notable, can be collected into a single page, where the relationships between them can be better appreciated than if they were each a separate page. It makes sense to handle this as one page rather than prematurely forking this. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:26, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The topic is sufficiently notable to warrant a separate article, considering it is the only mugshot of a US president.

Merge to Georgia election racketeering prosecution. Ultimately there's not much to be said about the photo besides the fact that it exists and that it's historical.

Keep. The topic has incredible notability, sustained news coverage, and will likely keep its notability well into the future, to the point where it should be able to stand as an article of its own.

Pile on Keep Hardly any reason to contribute at this point, but yes this is a clearly major photo in it's own right, which already has many, many articles regarding it. Would recommend a speedy keep, as an AfD deletion while the page is no doubt being viewed a ton may come off as Wikipedia being a bit partisan (though I'm genuinely not sure in which direction, and do not feel at all this was the nominees intent).

Keep. I understand the arguments made for this page's deletion, as we don't know the influence this will have on political events and media going forward just yet, but I think this is definitely notable enough to be its own page. In particular, we've had several news sources and commentators claim that this is a uniquely significant and/or extraordinary image of a president.[61][62][63] Independent of its subject, this image is notable as it will remain the first mugshot taken of any American president. Outside of that, we've had similar types of topics related to Trump that one could argue should be merged with other pages, but have stayed up due to having enough notability on their own. Pac-Man PHD (talk) 03:37, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Georgia election racketeering prosecution. First of all, Wikipedia is not a news site, and every single thing that is in the news does not have the long-lived notability that warrants inclusion in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia:Not every single thing Donald Trump does deserves an article. We already have an article about Donald Trump. We already have an article -- many articles -- about his 2020 election nonsense. Indeed, we have an article about the single exact criminal trial that this relates to. How about a compromise. We close the AfD now, I nominate it again in a year, we ping all the people who called it the most iconic photograph in history, and see if any of them remember this. Sure, it is the FIRST EVAR mugshot of a former president, but a lot of things are the first thing of another thing, and this doesn't make them significant or notable. In fact, this is the world-historic first-ever Wikipedia comment with the word "ggjlfedjdfs" in it (go ahead, check and see). jp×g 04:35, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Historic event, and the length of the current article is enough to justify its existence. recentlyryan RecentlyRyan
Merge to Georgia election racketeering prosecution Much of the history section is only tangentially related to the mug shot itself and would be better covered in the main article per WP:NOPAGE. I also have doubts about the ~~WP:SUSTAINED~~ sustained coverage of this. Will the case have more coverage? Absolutely. Will the mug shot in particular continue to be referenced nontrivially, such that there is more to add than dramatic descriptions of the image? I would question that, and it seems a bit premature to tell. —⁠PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 04:40, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sustained? This image will end up as a statue at Trump's presidential library or something, if a sculptor can get the eyes right. Randy Kryn (talk) 05:05, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Now that this is back open, I should clarify my intent here. I am not trying to dispute the notability of the subject, as SUSTAINED explains; the notability is clear. I am rather commenting on organizational grounds, in the sense that more sustained coverage would provide a more diverse array of aspects to cover in the article beyond background information and a lot of repetitive commentary on the actual photo, which can be covered in the main article. For example, I think that more in the way of merchandise and the photo's wider relevance to the Internet would justify keeping, since it would not be appropriate to cram that into the prosecution article. —⁠PlanetJuice (talk • contribs) 23:26, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above. Though recent, the article is free of a sense of bias and provides a succinct summary of one piece in an incredibly complex puzzle.

Keep per above. I was actually considering drafting the article myself before discovering it. This is definitely notable, and is a major historical event. The photo is the source of speculation itself, rather than the person in it, so that works out fine too. Resources are reliable, content is still coming in, and history is being made - deleting this page now would be ludicrously premature. Respectfully, time will prove the proposals to delete or merge were utterly unwarranted. I'm lost for words at the monumental consequences that this photo will leave.

Aubernas (talk) 05:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Many here have said this is notable because there are a bunch of newspaper articles that mention it; I don't think this argument holds up. There are many things that have been mentioned in a bunch of newspaper articles. Should we create articles for Donald Trump's eyebrows, Donald Trump's eyes, Donald Trump's nose, Donald Trump's mouth, Donald Trump's chin, Donald Trump's neck, Donald Trump's shoulders, et cetera? These have all been mentioned in a bunch of newspaper articles many times. How many of these can we do? Must we get all the way to Donald Trump's spleen? Can we go further back? How about William McKinley's right thumb? George Washington's ankles? jp×g 05:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This unproductive comment by JPxG should be ignored by the closer because there is no significant coverage in reliable sources of those ludicrous redlinked topics, whereas this mugshot is the subject of significant coverage in many reliable sources, which consistently describe it as "iconic" and "historic". Cullen328 (talk) 06:03, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I get 41 news results for "Trump's ears", 27 news results for "Obama's ears", and 10 news results for "McKinley's hand"; one would hope our notability criteria take into account whether something is a genuinely independent subject, or whether it's a minute facet of something that is given extremely heavy news coverage. There are enough news sources that we could easily clear GNG for Joe Biden's activities on July 15, 2021 -- the question is "why can't this be part of Timeline of the Joe Biden presidency (2021 Q3)?" jp×g 07:38, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If we take the notability criteria into account, your examples should not have articles, whereas Trump's mugshot should:
"Trump's ears" has 41 results because there is an article titled "Music to Trump's ears", which is not about his ears.

"Obama's ears" has 27 results, none of which are in-depth, mostly because phrases like "all ears". There's one article about an animal named after his ears, but this wouldn't warrant a stand-alone article.

"McKinley's hand" has 10 results, but none are articles about his hand.

"Trump's mugshot" has 362,000 results and "Mug shot of Donald Trump" 162,000. With countless in-depth articles by reliable sources.

Hypnôs (talk) 08:19, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, fine: the stuff about shoulders and spleens was rhetorical flourish which I should not have made. I maintain that the President of the United States, as almost certainly the most thoroughly-documented person on the planet Earth, has substantial coverage for virtually any conceivable activity, and we need to use different criteria than its mere existence. For example, Joe Biden's activities on July 15, 2021 were documented in depth by SIGCOV from France24, PBS, Detroit Free Press, Politico, The American Legion, CNN, NBC, Reuters, Al Jazeera. jp×g 09:39, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Consider WP:NETRUMP, and that Wikipedia is meant to be politically neutral. If I were to create a page devoted to Joe Biden stumbling as he climbed a flight of stairs, it would be speedily deleted and possibly (not likely) redirected to a section about his health in a larger article.

Comment: I'm surprised that there have been several dozen comments and !votes, and yet no one has yet mentioned the most important and relevant policy that applies here: WP:BLP. Trump is a living person and, no matter how damning the evidence is, he is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. It is extraordinarily rare (possibly even a first here) that a mugshot of a living person who has not yet been convicted is even in consideration for inclusion (perhaps that speaks to the gravity of the moment). I do think the argument of artistic/historic/cultural value is very compelling and agree that the sources appear good for now, but am not comfortable !voting to keep a non-convicted living person's mugshot up, especially considering it is non-free. Is keep without the picture an option? Curbon7 (talk) 08:00, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Curbon7, the vast majority of mugshots are not notable photographs. This is the rare exception to the general rule. This particular photo is notable. A mugshot does not equate to guilt, and the presumption of innocence should always prevail. Some editors have already tried to add the mugshot to Donald Trump and various articles about his legal problems, and have been correctly reverted. But I believe that this image belongs in this well-referenced article about this iconic and historic photo, which is being embraced by both Trump's supporters and opponents. This is surely an example of a case where inclusion of a non-free image enhances the reader's understanding of the topic. Cullen328 (talk) 08:13, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose so. Consider it a reluctant keep then. Curbon7 (talk) 08:42, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Various sources, including Reuters, report Trump is contributing to publicity of the image, so WP:BLP concerns for this WP:PUBLICFIGURE, including in WP:MUG, seem addressed by the particular context that can be developed from available sources, e.g. "Trump wasted little time using the mug shot for fundraising purposes, posting it on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, as well as on his own social media platform, Truth Social."

Delete the article, FWIW — seems pretty clear where this discussion is going. (Some of the editors posting here seem to be arguing against the deletion of the image file which is not under discussion here.) The photo is historic insofar as this isn't Trump's first arrest and release but it's the first time he was processed, including mug shot, and released after posting bail like other defendants. I.e., it's the first time he didn't get special treatment because he is a former president. We used to have an article on Donald Trump's hair which now redirects to Donald_Trump_in_popular_culture#Hair — eventually editors realized that there is not that much to say about the subject. The mug shot is on Georgia election racketeering prosecution and on Donald_Trump with the fact worth mentioning about it, that it's the first time a former president had a booking photo taken. Space4Time3Continuum2x ^(cowabunga) 09:13, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Most comments in this discussion just look like they're saying the same thing. If the entire argument is simply "it's historic" then this article isn't going to last very long. There are many things about Trump that have made history that are just as easily mentioned in a section on his own article. He's hardly the first world leader to have had a mugshot too so I'd argue there's some clear Americentric viewpoints here. 148.252.132.248 (talk) 10:48, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the photo itself is receiving international attention and is already a historical photograph. I wouldn't mind a merge but there's already too much information about the photo and it's likely to expand further, so a merge with the article about the case would bring undue weight to the photo which is, by any means, very marginal to the case. So a keep is the best way to keep things tidy and clear. Rkieferbaum (talk) 11:39, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/merge to Georgia election racketeering prosecution per WP:NOTNEWS. Yes, this has got significant coverage in reliable sources, but that doesn't mean we should have an article on it. For that it needs to have longterm significance, and even then it may be better to cover it in the article on the prosecution. The image was only taken yesterday and claims the image has enormous historic significance are premature. This is a very high profile news story and even small parts of it are likely to have substantial coverage in reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a news organisation and doesn't write articles on things just because they are in the news. Hut 8.5 11:43, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep firstly per WP:RAPID. This page was nominated for deletion only one hour after it was created; if a page isn't eligible for speedy deletion, then that is obviously too quick to either delete it or decry it a content fork as the nom rationale did. Beyond WP:RAPID, this probably deserves to be kept long-term as well as the photograph is likely notable on its own merits (using the weasel words like "probably" and "likely" deliberately because it's just not possible to know how notable something will be in the distant future, certainly not after less than one day, hence what WP:RAPID is for). It's not only notable for being a first for America, it's being covered around the world. It also helps that it's not just being described, but analyzed. But again, any claim one way or the other on notability is premature. We shouldn't be having this discussion today. Don't rush to deletion. Vanilla Wizard 💙 11:52, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand the side of delete: The most important aspects about the mugshot certainly can be summarized quickly elsewhere. And not all “firsts” related to Trump-related norm-breaking need articles. If one thinks the more detailed analysis of the photo is not necessary to preserve on Wiki and that the only notable content about it is is its existence, than it definitely would appear that this would only need a short mention in other articles rather than a spun-off article.

However, the side of keep seems stronger. This is widely discussed with analysis occurring. So there is a strong chance there’ll be lasting notability. At the moment, it indeed seems on track for lasting independent notability that lies somewhere above the threshold on notability for the project. There appears enough content and independent analysis (with more coming) than can be successfully merged: the ultimate question on whether something needs an independent article or should merely be mentioned within another.

I would not have taken the initiative to spin-off this subject. But I guess that doesn’t mean it needs deletion at this moment. SecretName101 (talk) 13:06, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to Georgia election racketeering prosecution per WP:NOTNEWS. A mug shot photo even as large as it is being covered is not indicative of notability for its own article. Grahaml35 (talk) 14:35, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SNOW keep - why are we even talking about a article on a subject of great public interest with a vast number of reliable sources talking about how significant (and thus notable) the thing is, only 8(?) hours after the article was created? It's a weak article at this point, and the long term significance of the article and the events it describes are unclear. Instead of litigating this thing to death, better to let things take their course, see how the article develops, and *then* consider whether to merge or rewrite the article.

I believe its WP:Notable because he's the first president/former president in atleast 150 years to be arrested, although the mugshot having its own article is kinda Wikipedia:Silly Things it should maybe be renamed to "Prosecution of Donald Trump" or something like that, and have the whole page be about his arrest and the timeline and the events that occurred so people know what happened, sort of like Arrests of Ulysses S. Grant or, we could keep this article up, as the image is getting a lot of notoriety and fame, and there are a lot of Wikipedia pages about popular images or memes. sexy (talk) 20:34, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wait: It's rare that we deal with something novel like a US president getting a mug shot. There will inevitably be substantial coverage of this news item for at least another week, but it's possible that the mug shot will become folded in with Trump-related legal battles and controversies more generally. Because we can't predict the future, I say we hold on to the article for now and come back to the matter in a month or so.

Keep This photo is so historical that it might end up in books someday, telling a part of the story of our times.

Comment Something I've noticed while reading through these arguments is that many that point out the mug shot's significance could just as easily be used for other mug shot images. Mug shots of O. J. Simpson, David Bowie, Nelson Mandela, and even Joseph Stalin, to name a few, have all had similar significance, be it in pop culture or propaganda. In particular, Simpson's mug shot is arguably the most recognisable image of him, and has been used on merchandise as well as being subject to a controversy involving TIME magazine darkening the image.^[1] As this article is the first to be focused on a specific mug shot, I feel this is something to keep in mind for the future. There will be precedent from this. In Trump's case, it's still very early and we cannot be sure of its lasting impact, especially when there could be more mug shots of him to come, but it is certainly notable nonetheless simply because of its subject. 195.213.106.122 (talk) 00:51, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or rename to (arrests of former US presidents) with more content - The article is notable in content and context as its own due to it being historic in nature that it is the first time a former president had their mugshot taken. As for another reason, the effects the photograph has had on the American conservative base has yet to be seen for any effects (adverse high turn out for Trump or low turnout for Trump). The effects on the Democrat base however has already been documented.

As for the rename rational, there was a time that another president was arrested multiple times, President Grant was arrested for speeding and subsequently released. However, a mugshot was not taken of him as cameras did not exist, but a painting depicting him of speeding was created by the press at that time. He was also arrested two more times as well. There is even an article for this. Arrests of Ulysses S. Grant Aceing_Winter_Snows_Harsh_Cold (talk) 02:04, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative option rename to (arrests of former presidents) and merge Arrests of Ulysses S. Grant into that article

Both Trump and Grant have been arrested multiple times, thus I think it would be wise to merge those two topics into its own article called Arrests of Former Presidents. A mugshot being taken is procedure of an arrest, thus there could be a mugshot image and related stuff from this mugshot page placed into that new article. As for Grant, a painting of him speeding was created on a lithograph. The arrests section in the indictment articles are small. Thus if placed into one article with a merge of the Grant article it would have enough content to be considered a valid article.

Persecution of Albanians in Yugoslavia (1941–1999)

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

WP:POVFORK and WP:SYNTH article created by a sock that combines different events and decades relating to the Albanian experience in Yugoslavia and declares it a constant stream of persecution, contrary to bibliography/history.

It supposedly begins in 1941 at the onset of World War II in Yugoslavia and lists massacres of Albanians during WWII. However, reliable sources don't talk about Albanians being "persecuted" during this time. After Yugoslavia was invaded, various conflicts emerged between ethnic groups, occupiers, collaborators and anti-fascists. As this work by Florian Bieber or this one by Sabrina P. Ramet outlines, Kosovo was made part of Albania and it was Serbs who were persecuted by Albanians during this period as Albanians now had the upper hand. There were atrocities against Albanians, but there was no ethnic group that did not suffer, to varying degrees in the civil wars that engulfed the country.

During the 1950s and part of the 1960s there were major repressions against Albanians in Kosovo by the Yugoslav secret police who tried to suppress Albanian rebels, but after 1965, the conditions for Albanians greatly improved as they were granted more rights and autonomy; meanwhile the period from 1966 to 1980 was marked by "the domination of the Albanian group and discrimination against Serbs" (see again aforementioned book by Bieber p. 58-59). The 1980s leading up to the Yugoslav wars and the Kosovo War are a whole different subject, already covered by plenty of articles.

The way this article cherrypicks and coatracks every bad thing that happened to Albanians for much of the 20th century is completely inappropriate and misuse of Wikipedia. Certainly, the atrocities mentioned in the article can be added to other places, such as regional articles' history section or for example Yugoslav Partisans#atrocities and History of Kosovo, or articles of their own can be created for them but not in the manner presented here.

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Yugoslavia-related deletion discussions. Griboski (talk) 00:54, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think there are a few options other than deletion. We could remove the disambiguator and rename the article to "Treatment of Albanians in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia" showing the differing levels of treatment Albanians had as a non-Slavic ethnic group throughout the existence of the FRY. Alternatively, we could rename the article "Persecution of Albanians under Slobodan Milosevic" where we only highlight the treatment of Albanians as a result of Milosevic's policies, where it was at its worst. Yung Doohickey (talk) 01:11, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There really isn't anything that isn't already covered in other Kosovo-related articles. I'm sure we could also create an article about the treatment of Kosovo Serbs during different periods but we shouldn't be encouraging the creation of unnecessary and inappropriate content forking. --Griboski (talk) 03:38, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per WP:SYNTH. First off, the dates (1941-1999) are arbitrary as there exists no scholarly work that discusses ethnic Albanian persecution during this period as a single interrelated event. The article collates various events in this period and portrays it as a single event. These acts of persecution are already widely covered in their own respective pages. Case in point, Anti-Greek sentiment covers Greek persecution in Turkey over a 100 year period, however no single page for persecution exists as each events occurred irrespective of each other. I do not see why this page should be an exception and the fact that it was created by a sock is evident in its hasty creation and violation of various Wikipedia policies.

The subject has earned at least one cap for the Zambia women's national football team. I am unable to find sufficient in-depth coverage from third-party sources, failing WP:GNG. JTtheOG (talk) 00:33, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I wasn't able to find enough reliable sources for the subject to pass WP:BASIC.

Delete. At age 16, she was the youngest player in the 9th African Women's Championship in Namibia in 2014, per The Cable (Nigeria). The rest of her coverage on AllAfrica.com and equivalent news sites are genuine passing mentions (largely between 2013–2016) where she is named as part of various squads. Doesn't meet WP:BASIC, let alone WP:GNG. Cielquiparle (talk) 09:52, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Cyprus women's international footballers. The subject has earned at least eight caps for the Cyprus women's national football team. I am unable to find sufficient in-depth coverage from third-party sources, failing WP:GNG. The most I found was this and this. JTtheOG (talk) 00:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
