Created by a SPA in June 2024. No obvious notability. Sources very undistinguished, many of them repetitive. Recent further editing by probable, and now-banned, paid editor. Brammarb (talk) 12:07, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable figure skater; does not meet the criteria of WP:NSKATE. Despite the volume of provided sources, most of those are competition results and databases, and what isn't appears to mostly be skating blogs. I'll let the community decide whether what's there qualifies as "significant coverage." Bgsu98 (Talk) 22:47, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I think this could benefit from more specific discussion about sources, and fewer accusations.

  • Comment: I believe these two sources from the article, which have WP:SIGCOV, count towards WP:GNG. The others are standings, passing mentions, or interviews. I searched Proquest and Newspapers.com but didn't find anything there. Nnev66 (talk) 15:26, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep I think NATHLETE can be established, but some work is needed. What's there now is a start, there are too many shared references, but given the information in the article so far, I am willing to believe that more references specifically about the subject can be found. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 21:29, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I searched for additional references but couldn’t find any. The subject showed promise in 2018-2019 and there were two articles published in figure skating sites (I’m going to assume they are reliable sources). But then she was injured and from the article she hasn’t performed well after that. So I wouldn’t necessarily expect to find anything else but perhaps someone will in next few days.

  • Delete: Lacking any sort of news coverage [1] is about the best there is, and it's likely not a RS. Being a patient at the hospital is fine, but it doesn't prove notability. The other sources used in the article are primary or PR items. Oaktree b (talk) 14:56, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – article has no substantive references, and my WP:BEFORE turned up no decent independent secondary sources to establish or support the subject’s notability with respect to WP:JOURNALIST or WP:AUTHOR. He does run https://volleyballmag.com/ which is cited in some 50+ Wikipedia articles, and if that is sufficient for notability, I would happily rescind my recommendation to delete.

  • Merge: From [3] page 49 (reflected in the Himalayan Times article[4]), this award was the fourth -- and least important -- of the New Years' arts awards from the Royal Nepal Academy. I'm ok with a keep for now (in the interests of a close), but believe that a subsequent merge to Royal Nepal Academy leaving cats intact would be preferable given the minimal detail (inclusion of awards with limited coverage at their issuing organisation's article is fairly common). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 05:37, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed WP:BLAR but this article fails our WP:NOT policy, it is little more than a catalogue listing for two of the related guns by the company. As the BLAR was disputed, I proposed redirect to Sturm, Ruger & Co.#Products. Bobby Cohn (talk) 20:27, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I would point out that the coverage is not the issue and I too saw some reviews in conducting a BEFORE. I'm not saying the notability of the subject is the concern here. To Oaktree b's point, not only does it need additional sourcing in the article, it needs content. My argument instead was a WP:NOT policy. Redirect and tag with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R with history}} but presently two infoboxes and some catalogue stats do not an article make. Like I said, this is just the formal process of a disputed WP:BLAR. Thanks, Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:34, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stub about a basketball coach. I took a crack at looking for material but came up short. Best I could add is that he did one year as an assistant coach in the NBA. I could flesh it out with more lower level teams he was associated with, but I found nothing but database entries and mentions in passing of his short stints at colleges and a Chinese team, so it does nto seem worth it. No in depth sources about him, so no evidence he passes WP:SPORTBASIC. No evidence he ever played in NBA so fails WP:NBASKETBALL.

There does not appear to be any significant coverage of this company to pass WP:NCORP. The sources that were added by the article creator [13] in response to my PROD are merely company listings on other websites and not significant coverage. – notwally (talk) 23:00, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP. This is a listed company that has been on the Shanghai Stock Exchange since 1996, and there is no problem with WP:NORG (WP:LISTED). In addition, I added Western media sources such as Financial Times and Bloomberg. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 23:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
From the policy you cited: "There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports. Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability." The Financial Times and Bloomberg company profiles you added are not significant coverage that would establish notability, and I have not found sources with significant coverage when trying to research this company. If these sources exist, then you should add them into the article. – notwally (talk) 23:39, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, I believe that all Wikipedia editors are equal; therefore, the use of the term should reflects a deficiency in reasonableness and mutual trust. Secondly, this is a Chinese publicly traded corporation, and I have included extensive information in Chinese; but I would not assert that proficiency in Chinese is necessary to comprehend this material. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 00:07, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comprehension isn't the issue, lack of coverage is. We'd need stories in news media about this corporate entity, to show notability here. Oaktree b (talk) 21:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
TinaLees-Jones, I'm not sure what kind of non-WP:AGF nonsense you are going on about, but "should" is literally taken directly from the notability guideline you cited: "Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability." I do not see significant coverage from any of the sources you have added, including the Chinese-language citations. If any non-English sources do have significant coverage, could you please point them out? – notwally (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This article contains a substantial amount of information regarding Chinese literature, complete with Google Books sources and links. I have additionally attempted to incorporate other English literature mentioned in the article. These book sources have demonstrated their significance and relevance in comparison to web sites. I trust you will also acknowledge that the entries are more comprehensive and reflect the authors' efforts. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 23:19, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep According to WP:SIRS notability for listed companies on major exchanges (such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange) can be shown using analyst reports. Examples of in-depth analysis for this company include:
A long list of analyst reports can be found here[14] Oblivy (talk) 03:56, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are analyst reports are the same as comments on the company's annual reports? Also, it does not appear that the list of reports you provided are all about this company. – notwally (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why are we going on about financial reports and nothing about what the company actually does day-to-day? They manage tourist sites, but how, and how does the country manage this. I'm not seeing a lot about site management, and way too much information the reader has no care about such as their rental car service and its financials or what in the Sam Hill a 'Sherpa Ram Art Performance Company' does.

  • Delete: Financial summaries don't help show notability, literally every publicly traded company will have one (its the very basic part of a robust and accountable financial system). Building an article out of these summaries doesn't prove notability, only that they haven't lied in their financial reporting. Oaktree b (talk) 21:40, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and redirect to Tourism in Tibet This article doesn't really impart any information about the company, just its mere existence, and the title is something that the average reader should expect to lead to information about general tourism in the country, not a corporate article (which...the actual offerings of the company, not its mundane stock performance or corporate mergers/transactions, should be highlighted here rather than hilariously incorrect prose like six companies constitute a solid tourism service system); if it is kept, this needs to be renamed to its full corporate name for transparency and hatnoted in Tourism in Tibet. Nate (chatter) 23:38, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- per Nate's above argument(s). Additionally, strongly agree that if it is kept, some additional form of transparency AND differentiation (from Tourism in Tibet) is needed, lest Wikipedia provide "Tourism Tibet" marketing.MWFwiki (talk) 00:40, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations says (my bolding):

      There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports.

      The numerous analyst reports found by Oblivy (talk · contribs) strongly establish notability as they each provide a summary of the company's activities and the analyst's opinion about the company's strengths and weaknesses. The argument that analyst reports do not contribute to notability is directly contradicted by the text of the notability guideline for companies.

      I have listed two additional book sources below to show that the company has received coverage beyond analyst reports.

      The book notes: "西藏旅游股份有限公司是西藏本土第一家上市公司,也是西藏自治区 唯一一家以旅游、文化传媒为主业的上市公司。"

      From Google Translate: "Tibet Tourism Co., Ltd. is the first listed company in Tibet and the only listed company in Tibet Autonomous Region with tourism and cultural media as its main business."

      The book notes: "西藏旅游股份有限公司的各类子公司涵盖了吃、住、行、游、购、娱 等方面,公司除了在旅游创收方面表现卓越以外,还以传播西藏文化为己 任,推动藏族文化、藏族歌舞戏剧向世界的传播。这些子公司主要有以下 几个。一是西藏圣地国际体育旅游公司。它是西藏旅游行业的旗舰企 业——西藏旅游股份有限公司的全资子公司,成立于1984年,是西藏成立 最早的旅游企业也是西藏具备经营出境旅游业务的三家企业之一。"

      From Google Translate: "The various subsidiaries of Tibet Tourism Co., Ltd. cover food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping, entertainment and other aspects. In addition to its outstanding performance in generating tourism income, the company also takes it as its mission to spread Tibetan culture and promote the spread of Tibetan culture, Tibetan songs, dances and dramas to the world. These subsidiaries mainly include the following. The first is Tibet Holy Land International Sports Tourism Company. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tibet Tourism Co., Ltd., the flagship enterprise of the Tibetan tourism industry. It was established in 1984. It is the earliest tourism enterprise established in Tibet and one of the three enterprises in Tibet that can operate outbound tourism business."

      The book notes: "西藏旅游全称西藏旅游股份有限公司,成立于1996年; 截至2012 年末,公司的主营业务包括旅游景区业务、旅游服 务业务和传媒文化业务。公司涉猎范围较广,但主营较为突 出,其中景区业务为公司的主要业务收入来源,2012年占公 司总收入的67%。景区业务主要包括景区内运输、接待等方 面。公司2012年收购了林芝地区的鲁朗4A景区,拥有阿里 神山圣湖景区经营权,其他景区还包括林芝地区雅江大峡谷景 区、巴松措景区等,开发了短程游艇、帐篷营地等新产品。在 旅游服务业务方面,公司涉足酒店行业和旅行社行业。"

      From Google Translate: "Tibet Tourism, whose full name is Tibet Tourism Co., Ltd., was established in 1996. As of the end of 2012, the company's main businesses include tourist scenic spot business, tourism service business and media and cultural business. The company covers a wide range of business, but its main business is more prominent. Among them, the scenic spot business is the company's main source of business income, accounting for 67% of the company's total income in 2012. The scenic spot business mainly includes transportation and reception in the scenic spot. In 2012, the company acquired the Lulang 4A scenic spot in Linzhi area and has the operating rights of the Ali Shenshan Shenghu scenic spot. Other scenic spots include the Yajiang Grand Canyon scenic spot and Basongcuo scenic spot in Linzhi area. New products such as short-distance yachts and tent camps have been developed. In terms of tourism service business, the company is involved in the hotel industry and travel agency industry."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Tibet Tourism (simplified Chinese: 西藏旅游股份有限公司; traditional Chinese: 西藏旅遊股份有限公司) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

Hamidreza Sadri is holder of Silver medal Asian junior and Gold medal at military world games which both competitions are notable for Wikipedia and many other international tournaments and now he plays Azarbaijan national team and these days he injured but he will get back to competitions soon

Again misinformation here, he never won a gold at Military World Games, he probably won a medal in World Military Championship (a different competition with a lower level) even though even winning medal at World Military Games (which he never won) doesn't justify notability. this is clearly WP:COI, trying to promote someone.

  • Delete Nothing has really changed in the six weeks since the article was previously deleted. The coverage is still insufficient to meet WP:GNG and he has no accomplishments that would meet WP:MANOTE or show he is a top 10 world athlete (a criteria used in sports such as boxing and MMA). World Taekowndo shows he has never won a fight (or even a round) at any international tournament they recognize.

two concerns, 1st: Subjects notable only for one event (kidnapping) which covered by one sourced that he worked for, i.e., Eye Radio. 2nd: the main contributor to the article seems to be the person himself as they uploaded 3 different images of the topic of article while claiming they were theirs, see [Woja Emmanuel pictures at commons]. yet the editor did not delcar any conflict of interest, so this article may also falls under Wikipedia:Autobiography. Not to mention multiple instances of failed verification and the use of self-published articles. FuzzyMagma (talk) 21:27, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the article was rejected 4 times as a draft before the editor decided to move it to the main space regardless. Below is the rejection comments:
  1. Self published articles shouldn't be used as reference. Also interviews are also not considered as reliable sources to approve. Add 3 reliable sources per WP:RS. Please see WP:THREE. Evident here
  2. Articles published by the subject and his organizations, as well as interviews can not be used as sources for a BLP and should be removed. Currently it seems that the only claim to notability is being kidnapped, which means that the subject falls under WP:BIO1E and does not qualify for an entry on Wikipedia. At best this belongs in some list of kidnapped journalists in South Sudan, if such list exists. Evident here
  3. Not enough coverage to establish notability. Evident here
  4. Also possible WP:COI at least on photos. Evident here

This photographer does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:PHOTOGRAPHER. I've actually come across Illman's YouTube channel before, but I'm just not seeing the sourcing to establish notability. The most solid source I found is this profile from Nine.com.au. I found some other sources like this and this this that quote Illman's social media posts and cover some of the associated drama, but to me this doesn't feel like significant coverage of Illman or his work. Most other sources I came across were passing mentions or just Illman's name in photo credits. I don't think we have enough coverage to meet GNG, but I'm open to discussion with other editors.

Delete - based on my reading of WP:NTENNIS, I don't think that the subject meets the bar for notability, based on the various stats sites I came across, and the article in its current incarnation. There are several pages published by Tennis Norge that have more coverage, but this seems limited to the subject's participation in the national team fielded at the Fed Cup.

The whole article is originally researched and violates MOS:TERRORIST. The sources are not conclusive about whether any of these events can be designated as "terrorist". StephenMacky1 (talk) 14:38, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is no originally research here nor MOS:TERRORIST violation. In fact, there are no resources in this article and barely any explanation besides "North Macedonia is a landlocked country in Southeast Europe. It shares land borders with Kosovo to the northwest, Serbia to the north, Bulgaria to the east, Greece to the south, and Albania to the west. Below is an incomplete list of terrorist incidents that occurred in North Macedonia" and a list of Wikipedia topics of attacks and conflicts. IdanST (talk) 10:34, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's the originally researched part. There are no reliable sources that classify these incidents as "terrorist". StephenMacky1 (talk) 13:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All sources are listed in their respective Wikipedia articles, and from an initial review and checking some, they appear to be reliable. IdanST (talk) 10:08, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have edited those articles. Articles themselves are not considered reliable. List articles are also subject to WP:V, so citing sources is required on such articles too.
Even if we go by the articles, we'll see that on its respective article, the 2001 insurgency is not classified as a terrorist incident. Neither are the Vejce massacre, Kondovo crisis and the 2014 government attack (unresolved case), nor have I encountered sources who classify them as such. The attack at Gošince has been classified as such by the government but the case is unresolved. The Smilkovci Lake killings have also been classified as such by the government and some experts (before the convictions), and there were also terrorism convictions. The Kumanovo clashes have also been classified as such by the government and there were terrorism convictions. All three occurred when there were ethnic tensions and a political crisis, so their status is controversial. StephenMacky1 (talk) 13:54, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, it's WP:V violation. I've added RS to all listed attacks. However, I don't know how 2001 insurgency in Macedonia is related to this list. IdanST (talk) 14:49, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but rename - at least three of these incidents were carried out by or claimed by the National Liberation Army. I think it's useful to group them and show how the situation has evolved or progressed over time and how other instances of ethnic-driven violence have occurred but it might be helpful to be specific in the claims of the list. Other countries (Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, etc.) have much long lists but are not always linked to an article. There are many ways to rework this but I think it's worth keeping around. Kazamzam (talk) 19:03, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any title(s) in mind? My view has not changed so far but a name change can be considered. StephenMacky1 (talk) 19:15, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@StephenMacky1 - a comparable article might be List of attacks in Lebanon (broad, less of a POV statement than "terrorist") with a similar description. Alternatively, narrowing the article's focus so that it's only attacks carried out by the NLA ('List of terrorist attacks linked to the NLA'), but that would probably be a short list...so perhaps it could be expanded beyond North Macedonia. Many ways to skin this cat, although at some point there's a question of if it's just easier to scrap the article and start fresh with a clear purpose. Kazamzam (talk) 16:44, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will support renaming it as "List of attacks in North Macedonia". The other title will make the topic more narrow, plus all of the attacks after 2001 were not committed by NLA but by groups claiming to be the NLA. The organization was disbanded. There are other bombings and attacks that can be listed here too. StephenMacky1 (talk) 17:01, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I could not find decent sources with significant coverage of the subject. Nothing that added flesh to the bones of various listings and stats sites. I therefore submit that the subject does not meet WP:NSPORTS, and I note that the article has been unsourced and out-of-date for some time. It is possible that better sources exist in Portuguese that I haven't found, in which case I would be happy to withdraw my nomination. SunloungerFrog (talk) 20:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- Also could not find any sources. The article itself only essentially says "He's a footballer (team, position)" Mrfoogles (talk) 18:22, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Article about former footballer who appears to have primarily played as a semi-pro (not at the highest levels of Brazilian football). His biggest achievement was probably being a squad member in Remo's 2007 Campeonato Paraense-winning side (although I found this match preview which strongly suggests he was only a fringe player during the competition). He played one season in the 2009 Campeonato Paulista A1 with Noroeste, but only appeared in 11 matches as the club finished dead last, and he briefly appeared in the 2011 Campeonato Brasileiro Serie D as Operário failed to advance beyond the initial group phase. Overall, a non-notable career, and I can't find anything that suggests WP:GNG could be met. Jogurney (talk) 18:43, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to fail WP:CORP. The references in this article are largely unacceptable as Non-neutral PR releases. The only others offered and found relate to some kind of legal issues between franchisees and the company, but a proper article cannot be based on only that.

Unsourced for over 10 years. An article about a Dutch forum website. Fails WP:NWEB. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 20:14, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Site was, in earlier days of the modern internet, one of the if not the biggest Dutch-language forum, fairly sure I remember it winning the Dutch website-of-the-year in some category or another (probably news or entertainment?) prize at one point, for a while was fairly commonly mentioned and quoted in Dutch news media, had a couple pretty big scandals, and pretty near enough everyone around here in the Netherlands had at least heard of it for one or several of the previous reasons. So it quite probably is notable. That said, it's looking to be pretty hard to prove with actual sigcov in independent sources. Not sure if it's because online searching seems to be getting worse with the year, or because coverage around the time of its peak popularity--late 00s/early 10s, I think--simply no longer is there. Going to look further to see if I can't find some proper sourcing, but not super hopeful based on my initial search. AddWittyNameHere 10:09, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alright, did my further searching, and believe I've found enough to justify keeping the article:
Suspect there's more somewhere, but it's taking quite some digging because various older newspaper articles don't seem to be indexed by google, searching for fok.nl crowds the results with subpages of the website, and searching for fok! results in a lot of animal welfare articles because that's the Dutch verb for breeding. (sigh) Still, I think the above are just about enough to demonstrate sufficient notability. AddWittyNameHere 16:14, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only secondary source in the article is just a passing mention, and I cannot find any other secondary sources for this person. Somatochlora (talk) 19:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He does have a valid notability claim, but simply listing the roles he's had isn't what gets him over the bar. Notability as an actor doesn't vest in the list of roles that he's had, it vests in the quality of the reliable sourcing about him and his performances that can be shown to support the article with. Bearcat (talk) 17:11, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article does need improvement, but it's completely missing his actual strongest notability claims — namely, the fact that he's had Emmy Award, Genie Award and Gemini Award nominations for his work in film and television, which are the kind of top-level national acting awards that automatically nail permanent notability to the wall even if there are problems with the existing sourcing. And for a person whose strongest notability claims came 20 to 30 years ago, improved sourcing for that will have to be retrieved from archive databases like ProQuest and newspapers.com, and would not be expected to be sitting out on the google. Ergo, I've stripped all the bad referencing, and added several much better citations and the awards. Bearcat (talk) 17:11, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete‎. This is a re-close after discovering I made an error in attributing extended confirmed to editors. This matters, because of the socking and fairly obvious canvassing, I decided to weight extended confirmed editors more heavily. There is a consensus among those editors that the sourcing is insufficient to demonstrate notability, while those supporting keeping, with one exception, suggest the case for keeping is weak or present arguments that get less weighting. This is insufficient to overcome the weight of editors supporting deletion. Barkeep49 (talk) 16:52, 17 December 2024 (UTC) [reply]

Original close

The result was no consensus. Due to the socking and fairly transparent off-wiki canvassing, I weighted extended confirmed editors more heavily. Even with this weighting I cannot find a consensus here and relisting seems unlikely to be productive.

Comment: I apologise if my involvement in this article voids my comment, but I believe it worth mentioning that it seems that the creator of 15[dot]ai is requesting for news coverage regarding the site's creation, meaning that Wikipedia:Notability criteria could fluctuate during this discussion. Thought 1915 (talk) 20:09, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your clarification. Thought 1915 (talk) 20:32, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the author of the coverage is performing their own research(i.e not regurgitating the creator's words) and they are not paid for covering the work, I do not see how the resulting coverage would be considered non-independent. Ca talk to me! 09:59, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The creator writes Also, if anyone can get me in contact with reputable journalists or news outlets so I can write down the detailed behind-the-scenes of http://15.ai, that would be much appreciated. - So the creator is seeking to place content they have written, presumably in the form of a press release. That is not independent. News articles predicated on an approach from the creator, and regurgitating material written by the creator are certainly not independent. Hypothetical questions beyond that would have to wait for any actual coverage, and nothing can be said about hypothetical analysis that has not yet been done.

Strong keep. I'm very surprised to see it being nominated for deletion for a second time even though it was previously decided that the subject met GNG. The subject has been in the news cycle for more than one event. The first time was when it was first unveiled to the public in early 2020 (The Batch). The second time was when it went extremely viral on Twitter (Kotaku, Game Informer, etc. covers this). The third time was when a company Troy Baker partnered with plagiarized 15.ai's work and went viral on Twitter again. (NME, Eurogamer, etc. cover this) Thus, the conditions for WP:BLP1E are not met. WP:SUSTAINED doesn't apply here. I copied over the table from the last deletion nomination.

    But why would that matter?

Comment There are numerous problems with this source assesment table, including a misapplication of the Kotaku source. Again, the VGRS says News posts from Kotaku between 2010 and 2022 are considered reliable, although editors are cautioned of blog/geeky posts that have little news or reporting significance emphasis added. Notably, whenever the Kotaku source comes up everyone who mentions VGRS conveniently cuts off the second half of it. Kotaku's article about 15.ai isn't tagged as News, it's tagged as "Odds and Ends", which is precisely the sort of "blog/geeky posts" that editors are cautioned about as you can see here. [39]. Meanwhile, of the other sources listed the following sources all reference the Kotaku article [40][41][42][43][44]. All of the news sources, including the one Japanese site and Spanish that doesn't explicitly mention Kotaku, are from a range of dates between January 17, 2021 to January 19, 2021, and after the Kotaku article. Despite insistence by multiple editors that 15.ai is of ground breaking importance to the realm of AI Voice Synthesis, there hasn't been a single reliable, independently published source provided to substantiate the claim. Other websites which are being used use as Elevenlabs and Speechify appear to have simply cannibalized the Wikipedia article for 15.ai for their website, with Speechify using wordage verbatim from the old Wikipedia article, and making minor changes. Per WP:REFLOOP Wikipedia cannot use sources which heavily relied upon Wikipedia. You were also told that Andrew Ng's The Batch or other self-published sources do not contribute to GNG. [45], yet you have checkmarked it as doing so. Even as a WP:EXPERTSPS editors are still cautioned if the information in question is suitable for inclusion, someone else will probably have published it in independent, reliable sources. Likewise, NME is considered reliable within its expertise, which is music. [46]. You are ignoring WP:RSCONTEXT and using a consensus that NME was reliable for BLP information about a musician as a sign that it's reliable for an article about Artificial Intelligence. Moreover, the NME Source is about the controversy that was a flashpan incident, it does not represent WP:SUSTAINED coverage. Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability. However, sustained coverage is an indicator of notability emphasis added. There is no demonstrably WP:SIGCOV.

Regarding that notability isn't temporary, I note here that the previous AfD for this article was interfered with [47][48][49][50] by a bevy of WP:SPA. The article itself was heavily edited by someone who continues, as of last week, to abuse multiple accounts for the sake of editing 15.ai [51][52]. With the revelation of the persistent multiple account abuse, the votes of HackerKnownAs and SirGallanthThe4th in the original AfD brings the number of improper votes to keep up to at least 6 [53]. Discounting the suspicious votes and the votes from the confirmed sock accounts, there is no real clear consensus on the notability of 15.ai, and that factored in my decision to bring the article to AfD again.

Here, for the sake of clarity, I'll provide a handy-dandy table as well for evaluating the sources and for why I nominated this article as failing GNG.
Source assessment table
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
[[54]] Yes Kotaku is in WP:VG/RS: "News posts from Kotaku between 2010 and 2022 are considered reliable", however WP:VG/RS cautions against "Geeky/Blog" posts. Kotaku's "Odds and Ends" section is not their News section. No The referenced article does not provide significant coverage of the subject. No
[[55]] Yes Yes Game Informer is in WP:VG/RS No The referenced article does not provide significant coverage of the subject, references back to the Kotaku article. No
[[56]] Yes Yes PC Gamer is in WP:VG/RS No The referenced article does not provide significant coverage of the subject, references back to the Kotaku article. No
[[57]] Yes Yes Rock, Paper, Shotgun is in WP:VG/RS No The referenced article does not provide significant coverage of the subject, references back to the Kotaku article. No
[[58]] Yes Yes Den Fami Nico Gamer' is in WP:VG/RS Yes The referenced article is about the subject, its functionality, and its overseas impact Yes
[[59]] Yes AUTOMATON was considered reliable by what was probably only a drive-by/sock [60] Yes The referenced article is about the subject, its functionality, and its overseas impact ? Unknown
[[61]] No The article indicates some sort of direct contact with the creator as it says "In an email to The Batch, the coder declined to disclose details about how the model works but said it was inspired by the 2019 paper that pioneered transfer learning for text-to-speech models" Yes The Batch is the newsletter personally written by Andrew Ng, one of the most prominent authors in modern AI: [62]. Per WP:ExpertSPS this source is reliable. The mention of 15.ai is a small blurb in an otherwise long newsletter. The newsletter has a section on 15.ai, and per WP:SIGCOV, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material". Even in the section for 15.ai, half of the words are not about 15.ai directly, but the technology behind it. No
[[63]] Yes NME is generally reliable for content related to its areas of expertise, which was specifically said to be music in the discussion.[64] No The source discussed the creator of 15.ai's response, but says very little about the webapp itself. The entire coverage of the webapp is "Voiceverse was found to have been using its tech for the voice of a cartoon character, but it was actually taken from 15.ai – a non-commercial text-to-speech service." and "It was found that log files show that Voiceverse used the service for an AI-powered voice to be sold as an NFT". No
[65]] Yes Yes Eurogamer is in WP:VG/RS No The source discussed the creator of 15.ai's response, but says very little about the webapp itself. The entire coverage of the webapp is "Voiceverse was found to have boasted about using its tech for the voice of a cartoon character - which was in fact created using 15.ai, a popular non-commercial text-to-speech service.Unlike Voiceverse NFT, 15.ai is free to use and play around with. Using just 15 seconds of voice samples from various fictional characters, its tech lets you type in text and get, say, David Tennant's Tenth Doctor or Glados from Portal to read out what you wrote." No
[[66]]
Yes LaPS4 is unknown, I cannot find a single RSN discussion about it, and usage on different Wiki's is not indicative of suitability for inclusion on ENWiki. However, LaPS4 has no identifiable editorial board and a survey of 10+ recent articles show them all written by Jose Villalobos. Prior to 2018, there seems to have been more staff [67] but is gone by June 2018 [68] and it was confirmed in March of 2018 that the ownership had changed [69]. While the new owners had an editorial board, they no longer actually own LaPS4.com, and there is no indication of an editorial board in 2021[70]. As for its usage on the Spanish Wikipedia, one [71] usage for PS2 Sales itself cites Wikipedia. Notably, LaPS4's article was deleted on the SpanishWiki for being irrelevant and promotional [72] Yes The referenced article is about the subject, its functionality, and its overseas impact ? Unknown

Keep. Repeating what was stated last time it was nommed for deletion. Per User:Elmidae, "However, basic notability is not in question - these four mainstream game magazine articles [73][74][75][76] already form a sufficient backbone for that." Kotaku is only quickly mentioned in each one and the coverage is way more than a "flurry of mentions".
Otherwise, the app was one of the biggest happenings in speech synthesis in the early 2020s and took social media by storm as it proved that voice cloning with a small amount of data was possible. Personally speaking, it's so important enough that if former competitors of 15.ai (11labs and Speechify) are still saying the app was one of the biggest things to happen to AI voice cloning years after it went offline, it must be true.

Why did the OP mark me as an SPA? That I made few or no edits outside 15.ai is false. My edits have been about AI speech, which is a broad topic of interest. Per WP:SPATG my vote should never have been tagged. Tacotron2 (talk) 22:43, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To repeat what I said in the other thread, I found this deletion page because there's a giant, hard to miss red box at the top of the 15.ai page that says it's going to be deleted. Like the last time I found the deletion page. My name is literally the name of the algorithm that inspired the 15.ai TTS, of course I'm going to argue against its deletion. Tacotron2 (talk) 22:55, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The general test for SPA:
A user who appears to focus their edits on a particular article or related set of articles in a way which may cause other users to question whether that person's edits are neutral and are reasonably free of promotion, advocacy and personal agendas.
You have answered your own question:
My name is literally the name of the algorithm that inspired the 15.ai TTSS

A significant amount of your edits all revolve around 15.ai. You made a number of minor edits adding artifical intelligence tags to articles besides that. Everything else is related to 15.ai and the underlying technology of 15.ai. Brocade River Poems (She/They) 06:53, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Re; the announcement above. Before you ask, no, no one asked me to vote on this. I found this myself because I was watching a YouTube video about this topic and made an account minutes ago so I can throw in my opinion. After reading through the arguments, 15ai is more than notable enough for inclusion. Multiple reliable gaming publications (PC Gamer, Game Informer, Rock Paper Shotgun) goes much beyond referencing Kotaku. And further coverage spans multiple important events with its initial viral success and the later NFT controversy. Also, just because someone uses a new account doesn't mean that their opinion shouldn't be heard.

Comment: It's funny how articles like Speechify linked at the top that's way less known and has way worse problems is allowed to stay but apparently not this one by the way.

I'm not sure what you mean by "allowed to stay", as it was never nominated for deletion. Procyon117 (talk) 18:01, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While the Speechify article isn't great, GNG doesn't require the sources to be presently used in the article, only that the sources exist. As I did a search for Speechify, I found an academic book (which I have added to the article) that discusses its applicability in helping students with dyslexia develop reading comprehension. Conversely, 15.ai has flashpan news coverage of a controversy involving VoiceVerse and some minor coverage stemming from a Kotaku Odds and Ends article. PC Gamer, Game Informer, and Rock Paper Shotgun all make clear reference to the original Kotaku article, which is a good enough signal that they only know about it because of the Kotaku article. Again, there is an utter lack of WP:SUSTAINED significant coverage around 15.ai. The GameInformer piece reads As Kotaku noted when writer Zack Zwiezen also shared this app, the PC Gamer Reads Spotted by Kotaku over the weekend, 15.ai is a deep-learning text-to-speech tool trained on a library of audio clips for dozens of characters, and Rock, Paper, Shotgun ends their article with Ta, Kotaku with the Kotaku being a hyperlink to the Kotaku article about 15.ai Brocade River Poems (She/They) 20:37, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your entire argument hinges on the fact that three otherwise RS articles referenced Kotaku in a single sentence, so they're all immediately invalid? That's exactly how news spreads. People find out about something from another source, and they're free to do their own analysis — that's exactly what those articles do. Throwing out all of these sources because they don't conform to your arbitrary criteria makes no sense. Tacotron2 (talk) 04:35, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They are not Brocade River Rooms' criteria. They are Wikipedia's criteria. Whether that's how news spreads or not is very well and good, but that has nothing to do with the black-letter guidance on Wikipedia articles. If you do not understand this, you need to review the relevant notability policies and guidelines. Ravenswing 20:42, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Notability_(web)#If_the_content_is_not_notable Wikipedia should not have a separate article on any web content that does not meet the criteria of either this guideline or the general notability guideline, or any web content for which, despite meeting the rules of thumb described above, editors ultimately cannot locate independent sources that provide in-depth information about the web content.

  • Keep. Subject meets WP:GNG through sustained coverage across multiple events (2020 launch, 2021 viral spread, 2022 NFT controversy) in reliable gaming and tech publications like PC Gamer, Game Informer, Eurogamer, and NME. Sources provide independent analyses of its capabilities and spread through the Internet, not just WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS. While some coverage stems from an initial Kotaku piece, there is sufficient independent in-depth coverage to establish notability.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Madeleine961 (talk) 22:27, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Just curious about the supposed coverage from 2020, because the only sources from 2020 utilized currently on the article are Andrew Ng's The Batch, which was explicitly noted does not count for notability. [83], Gwern, which is likewise a self-published source and would consequently not count toward WP:GNG, and Equestria Dail, which is only considered reliable for stuff from the show's production crew only [84][85]. Given how new you are to Wikipedia and AfD in general, you should probably be aware that Self-Published Sources do not count toward notability. If you have coverage from reliable sources for 2020, by all means, provide it. Brocade River Poems (She/They) 06:42, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: User:180.129.92.142, a user who has been accusing editors — who voted Keep in this AfD, like me — of sockpuppetry (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/HackerKnownAs), has been found to be part of a sock ring with User:Ltbdl, a now-blocked user who had previously vandalized the 15.ai article. they are now blocked due to persistent vandalism. This edit from the now-blocked sockpuppet [86] is concerning, where the blocked editor expresses full support of User:BrocadeRiverPoems's edits no matter how contentious. The sockpuppet accusations toward me and others were opened by User:BrocadeRiverPoems, who is the creator of this AfD and has been arguing against every dissenting comment. She has also tagged me as an SPA even though I should have never done so per WP:SPATG.
Something smells fishy about this and suggests that her edits of the 15.ai article and her raising it to RFC and AfD weren't in good faith. Tacotron2 (talk) 00:53, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is not the place for this discussion. If you want to accuse me of something, use the appropriate venue. Brocade River Poems (She/They) 01:24, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so. This comment is very relevant for the admins in their assessment of this AfD, especially since you are the one throwing accusations, calling me a sock and an SPA immediately after I made my post in this very AfD.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I'll make a post about this interaction in other admin channels after this AfD is resolved.

  • Delete: As with other editors, I find the sourcing analysis by the nom sound, and that this ephemeral site fails the GNG. Ref bombing ≠ SIGCOV. Self-published sources ≠ SIGCOV. That the site was allegedly "big on online communities" ≠ SIGCOV. That one purportedly finds mentions on social media ≠ SIGCOV. I'm also desperately unimpressed by the wave of sockpuppets and SPAs who "just happened" to find this AfD or "just happened" to see something on social media indicating that it was at threat, and I hope the closing admin takes this into consideration. Ravenswing 11:52, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I'm missing something, but how are you so sure the Keep votes are socks? The only proven evidence of sockpuppetry was from an account that had been unanimously agreeing with Brocade [87], and the only accusations of sockpuppetry levied against me and others in this AfD have been inconclusive or on hold. Tacotron2 (talk) 22:50, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails WP:GNG, the sources presented are a mix of non-RS, and one or two RS's that are not SIGCOV. And yeah the socks are obvious. Lavalizard101 (talk) 12:08, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per the source assessment table presented by the nominator, which I have reviewed and agree with. Daniel (talk) 12:18, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • DeleteStruck per comment below, 12 December. - There are six keep !votes in this AfD but those 6 editors have a grand combined total of 424 edits between them. There is no need to doubt their good faith, but it seems evident that there is a lack of experience being represented here. Oaktree b's source analysis is correct, as is the more careful analysis by Brocade River Poems. There is evident confusion about what constitutes a reliable source, and also clear confusion as to what amounts to SIGCOV. The purpose of GNG is not a tick box exercise of finding a mention and then an article is in. We need secondary sources from which an article about the subject can be written. Significant coverage is necessary to give us something to write, and we do not have those sources. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:24, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    While I'm confused by where all these delete votes came from in the span of an hour, I'm just as confused as the claim that secondary sources from which an article can be written don't exist. Why do the Game Informer, PC Gamer, and Rock Paper Scissor articles not count as valid sources? Tacotron2 (talk) 14:45, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I cannot answer for the others, but I have been watching this AfD from the start, and it is often the case that when someone posts on an AfD, it lights up in my watchlist, reminding me to !vote. Additionally, I have been trying to reply since I saw Counterfeit Purses !vote earlier, but owing to a storm, my power was out and I too was surprised that there were now 3 other delete !votes when I got my WiFi back on, but I suspect the process for those is much the same. Now then, you ask why those three sources are not counted by me and others? See the source analysis by Brocade River Poems and Oaktree b. These are not significant coverage which should be coverage that addresses the topic directly and in detail. A paragraph that tells us what 15.ai does is not significant coverage. If you look at what I said, I covered this point. We need secondary sources from which an article about the subject can be written. Significant coverage is necessary to give us something to write, and we do not have those sources. "Look at this cool app" does not cut it (per Oaktree b). HTH.

    Well, agree to disagree. I'm hoping that other editors can chime in too. Tacotron2 (talk) 15:17, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I came here from the ANI on User:RocketKnightX's disruptive removal of the afd notice. Also Tacotron2, you were warned about canvassing] others [88] and responded by canvassing more people [89]. Please don't canvass editors to the afd. Lavalizard101 (talk) 15:21, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, I actually didn't see that message, that's my bad. But I thought asking people who were involved in some form of contribution wasn't canvassing if it was done on Wikipedia? Tacotron2 (talk) 15:23, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Ahem. Like Lavalizard (and likely some of the others), I too came as a result of the ANI filing. The six editors who came in with Deletes have over 200,000 edits between them, and nearly seventy years of combined service on Wikipedia; we cannot remotely be compared to a handful of canvassed SPAs and socks. (For that matter, I personally have contributed to several hundred AfDs.) Two things beyond that: first off, if you're confused as to the requirements of WP:CANVASS, read the policy. Secondly, you can disagree with the requirements of WP:SIGCOV all you please, but they apply all the same. Casual mentions and namedrops are explicitly debarred from contributing towards the notability of a subject. Full stop. Ravenswing 20:38, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I realized that I asked the wrong person to chime in because they proceeded to vandalize the page, but I didn't know that they would do something like that. I apologize for the unintentional canvassing because I was told at some point that asking people to help chime in on an AfD was a good idea, but my mistake doesn't negate the points others have made. Tacotron2 (talk) 17:17, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete: The evidence given for delete is convincing and aligns with personal research I attempted to do when this article was in the WP:DRN. I feel personally though that WP:GNG is a weak reason for deletion, but the evidence for this reason is substancial. Thought 1915 (talk) 20:25, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

*Full disclosure, I was the person that was "canvassed", but I don't believe it was WP:INAPPNOTE: neither I nor the other person who posted in the AUTOMATON notice voted in the 15.ai AfD, so it doesn't fall under vote-stacking. Another full disclosure, because I see that the rest of the AfD has been filled with claims of sockpuppetry, meatpuppetry, IP editing, SPA, suspicious vote timings, etc.: I am normally an IP editor that I use on my main machine, and I have this account logged in for lurking, which is why it says I only have seven edits under my belt. (This is allowed per the security and privacy clauses of WP:SOCKLEGIT). I am here because I was notified on my talk page to provide some insight into the AfD. Another full disclosure: I have voted on a page similar to 15.ai, in which I voted in favor of delete. You can see my diff on NovelAI here. [90].

Now, that being said, let's jump into this AfD. Probably the main point of contention is whether the four articles for 15.ai demonstrate significant coverage. According to WP:SIGCOV, ""significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." I'm going to go through the three sources that have been deemed to not meet SIGCOV per the above source analysis. Let's start with PC Gamer. I'm going to outline parts of the article that addresses the topic directly and in detail, plus original analysis of the subject that shows that it didn't outright copy material from Kotaku, which as of right now is of uncertain reliability.
  • PC Gamer: The article, as usual, begins with describing 15.ai and its popularity on Twitter. It's all very fascinating to read about, from its use "deepmoji" systems to assign emotions to the way the algorithm scrapes the internet for online slang. But all you need to know is this: type in a line or two, pick a character, and the system will swiftly deliver a generated clip of, I don't know, the TF2 Heavy replacing a former US president in Home Alone 2.. This quote from the article describes the usage of DeepMoji in 15.ai's TTS system, which, importantly, is never mentioned in Kotaku. This meets significant coverage.
  • Rock, Paper, Shotgun: The article, as usual, begins with describing 15.ai and its popularity on Twitter. Aside from the TF2 crew, you can also take Portal's robots GLaDOS, Wheatley, and the Sentry Turret for a spin. Oddly, Undertale characters are available too but I didn't think that they—oh, that's the joke. Gordon Freeman's in there too. Go on. Try to make him talk. This quote from the article describes the variety in 15.ai's character selection, but notably, it mentions a number of characters that were never mentioned in Kotaku, as well as describes the "joke" in the inclusion of Gordon Freeman's "voice". This is original analysis done by the article that wasn't present in Kotaku. This meets significant coverage.
  • Game Informer: The article, as usual, begins with describing 15.ai and its popularity on Twitter. The full list of characters to draw from is fairly extensive, including Spongebob from the Nickelodeon show, several major characters from My Little Pony, Daria and Jane from MTV's Daria, and so much more. You can also mess with that wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff thanks to the Tenth Doctor's voice modulation from BBC's cult classic Doctor Who. Here, again, Game Informer shows off the variety of characters, and importantly, mentions The Doctor from Doctor Who and Daria and Jane from Daria, neither of which are mentioned in any of the previous sources. This shows that these three articles didn't simply copy over the Kotaku article.
So, to recap, "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Do the above three articles address the topic directly and in detail? That 15.ai is the topic of the articles is clear; the whole article is about the app! Now, the point of contention arises from the wording in detail; and this is where I also believe that they do. While the Kotaku article is probably not reliable, all of PC Gamer, Rock, Paper, Shotgun, and Game Informer offer new bits of information that was never present in the original Kotaku article that they refer to. While the Kotaku article may serve as a catalyst or inspiration for their coverage, PC Gamer, Rock, Paper, Shotgun, and Game Informer each introduce new insights, context, and analysis that were absent in the original Kotaku article. They describe unique aspects of 15.ai, such as its technological underpinnings, its varied character roster, and its use of AI systems like DeepMoji, which all serve to add depth and original content to their reporting in detail.
The characterization of the debated articles as nothing more than "Hey, check out this cool app!" doesn't do it justice. If they really wanted a fluff piece on 15.ai just to boost their view count, then they could have copied over what Kotaku wrote and called it a day. What's particularly important to note is that these three articles aren't merely rehashing the Kotaku piece. For instance, PC Gamer mentions how the DeepMoji system interacts with 15.ai’s TTS architecture. Rock, Paper, Shotgun highlights the humor and depth in the app’s character selection, with original commentary on the inclusion of Gordon Freeman’s "voice." Similarly, Game Informer dives into the wide variety of characters, introducing examples like Doctor Who's Tenth Doctor and Daria's protagonists, which are not mentioned in Kotaku.
Now, we haven't even gotten to the point that I was asked about in the first place. AUTOMATON MEDIA. As someone who's lived in Tokyo for three years and had a huge interest in Japan's gaming and tech culture, it's quite a respectable source in Japan, they've been around for a long time, established over a decade ago, and it's been used many times in JP-language Wikipedia. They even have an article for the site. Japan Wikipedia: [91] and English Wikipedia as Active_Gaming_Media It's not as big as Den Fami Nico Gamer, which is already in VG/RS, but if someone were to ask to add AUTOMATON as VG/RS, it would almost certainly get accepted. If Den Fami Nico Gamer is New York Times, then... AUTOMATON MEDIA might be something like The Boston Globe, if that makes any sense? (Both are reliable but one's smaller and less known, that's what I'm getting at.)
All this to say, I'm voting Keep, but not by a huge margin. If 15.ai was a corporation, then I would probably vote delete as I did with NovelAI, since the criteria for WP:NCORP are much stricter. But for an indie website that took the Internet by surprise in the early days of voice AI, I think this meets WP:WEBCRIT (but just barely). Thanks for reading my essay.
PS: To note, the creator of 15.ai did just post about the future of 15.ai on his mostly inactive Twitter just a few hours ago that gives a lot more detail on 15.ai ([92]), so could that have possibly started the flurry of edits? Not sure. UnstableDiffusion (talk) 21:22, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Note: An editor has expressed a concern that UnstableDiffusion (talkcontribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. [reply]
Per WP:WEBCRIT webcontent should be the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. followed by except for media re-prints of press releases and advertising for the content or site or trivial coverage, such as a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of Internet addresses and site
The crux of the issue, for me, is the such as a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of Internet addresses and site. It fails WP:WEBCRIT and it failed WP:GNG. A brief summary of the nature of the content is all the most reliable sources provided for the website provides. Further, WP:NWEB says Wikipedia should not have a separate article on any web content that does not meet the criteria of either this guideline or the general notability guideline. Even if we generously say that the content of the most reliable sources (the gaming media) does surpass trivial mentions per WEBCRIT, it says that Wikipedia should not have a separate article on any web content...for which, despite meeting the rules of thumb described above, editors ultimately cannot locate independent sources that provide in-depth information about the web content.
What do the sources actually say about 15.ai itself?
  • Kotaku reads 15.ai is a site that lets you type in any text you want and have a bunch of different characters repeat those words. The results are surprisingly good, especially with some characters, like Portal’s GLaDOS...You can read more about how it works. Also, impressively, the whole thing was created by one person....the site often gets hit hard by people throughout the day, so it might take a few minutes for your audio to be created. 75 words total describing 15.ai itself.
  • GameInformer Reads [W]ith the help of this simplistically brilliant text-to-speech app. The app in question is 15.ai, and it lets fans put in their own text and modulates that text into the speech of some of our favorite characters. ...The full list of characters to draw from is fairly extensive, including Spongebob from the Nickelodeon show, several major characters from My Little Pony, Daria and Jane from MTV's Daria, and so much more. You can also mess with that wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff thanks to the Tenth Doctor's voice modulation from BBC's cult classic Doctor Who. The app in question is super easy to use! Simply select a source (Portal, Half-Life, etc), then select the character you would like to emulate, and choose an emotion for the adapted speech. Input whatever you would like the character in question to say (with a 200-character limit), and voila! A few seconds later, you have a downloadable audio file for the mashup of your dreams. Roughly 161 words describing the basic functionality of the app and some characters.
  • PC Gamer Reads 15.ai is a deep-learning text-to-speech tool trained on a library of audio clips for dozens of characters.

But all you need to know is this: type in a line or two, pick a character, and the system will swiftly deliver a generated clip of, I don't know, the TF2 Heavy replacing a former US president in Home Alone 2...GLaDOS is a natural fit, what with her voice sounding like computer-generated speech by design. But for all the hours of banked audio given to The Stanley Parable's narrator, the algorithm simply can't capture Kevan Brighting's whimsically droll intonation. 123 Words with mentions that it uses "deepmoji" and scrapes the internet, but more review of the characters.
  • Rock, Paper, Shotgun the text to speech algorithm 15.ai that studies clips of characters and uses deep-learning to make those characters say whatever the heck you want. The possibilities are endless and the amount of control that you can use to tweak how words and phrases are pronounced is pretty deep if you're willing to get into the nitty gritty of it...SpongeBob SquarePants and the various characters of Team Fortress 2 seem to be popular options... 15.ai's about page has more other information about how the algorithm works, including the model called "DeepMoji" that helps it to convey emotion. Roughly 96 words discussing characters and the basic functionality.
These all fail the criteria provided by WP:WEBCRIT of not being a brief summary of the nature of the content. The issue isn't strictly that they referenced Kotaku, the issue is that they aren't WP:SIGCOV. A brief burst of news coverage sparked by a Kotaku Odds and Ends article does not meet notability WP:SUSTAINED. Brocade River Poems (She/They) 00:08, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The crux of the issue, for me, is the "such as a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of Internet addresses and site". I hate to tell you, but WP:100WORDS is a very commonly accepted guideline for determining whether something meets coverage within a source. [93], [94] For Rock, Paper, Shotgun, you accidentally combined "it" with "SpongeBob" with the ellipses, and you omitted the first four words of the sentence, bringing the total word count of the coverage (per your admission) to 101 words.

  • Keep (previously, I merely had a comment only). First of all, I apologize for accidentally deleting things other people said. I typed something up, got pulled away from my PC, and came back but failed to load the latest version. My comment was something along the lines of "This is smelling like a vote, but I thought this was not a vote, and instead a series of arguments for or against deletion." I'm against deleting this article, because it was a big deal when it came out and was groundbreaking at the time. Reading this article is an easy way to learn about the history of the site. Dogman15 (talk) 23:11, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It appears that the delete voters unanimously agreed that Brocade's analysis above that deemed AUTOMATON was of uncertain reliability was correct, but all of them apparently missed the fact that AUTOMATON, along with Den Fami Nico Gamer, is one of the biggest and most reliable gaming outlets in Japan. This also smells like editors claiming that they did their research but apparently did not and jumping to a vote prematurely. Tacotron2 (talk) 23:51, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am making a new comment on this discussion to provide an update on 15.ai According to the most recent tweet from the creator [96] Then, in the middle of 2022, things started to go wrong. I received multiple complaints of copyright violations, and I received a cease-and-desist letter. I dismissed it as unimportant and chose to disregard it, since, technically, copyright law surrounding generative AI at the time was on my side. But due to certain other details that I can’t share here, I was effectively forced into stopping operations of the website immediately without warning or preparation. Per my understanding of WP:COPYVIOEL material that violates the copyrights of others per contributors' rights and obligations should not be linked, whether in an external-links section or in a citation we cannot cite or link to 15.ai itself for any information relating to the article if it is Kept. I am unsure how this impacts the ability to use citations that themselves link to 15.ai website such as the Kotaku, but I suspect they would be fine.

  • Weak Keep - I was planning to perform a source assessment, but then I looked at the bottom of the article, and saw that it has been reference-bombed, and that the version of the article that was kept in January 2023 had been reference-bombed. I see that there have been multiple source assessments of partial sets of sources, which do not prove that the other sources, not assessed, do not provide general notability. There was a previous AFD in January 2023, and we should give some credence to it unless there are reasons why we should either disregard it or move beyond it. The nominator has not provided a specific reason why the earlier AFD is not still in effect. The result of the January 2023 AFD was a Weak Keep, and this article should still be Weakly Kept. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There was a previous AFD in January 2023, and we should give some credence to it unless there are reasons why we should either disregard it or move beyond it. Robert McClenon, yes, there are excellent reasons to disregard that AfD which was a trainwreck of sock puppetry, such as by [97] and [98] and multiple SPAs such as [99], [100] (their only edit ever!), [101] etc. As has happened on this AfD, there are a lot of SPAs. You have noticed the refbombing. The SPAs would certainly raise concerns that not all the sockpuppetry was uncovered, and meatpuppetry is also likely. This AfD has been blatently canvassed too. This is all highly problematic. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:19, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The decision to keep wasn’t because of SPAs. AfDs are not a vote. If you read WP:SPA, it says "focus on the subject matter, not the person." You yourself have not acknowledged the argument that AUTOMATON is a valid source and that the other contentious articles sufficiently meet SIGCOV per WP:100WORDS, instead choosing to point out that the Keep votes have few edits. Tacotron2 (talk) 19:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    100WORDS being an essay, it has no bearing here. Ravenswing 20:13, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It certainly has some amount of bearing when it is an often cited guideline for SIGCOV on AfD. It's disingenuous to write it off for "being an essay". Tacotron2 (talk) 20:23, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't see it at AfD at all, myself. (Which begs the question; when have you? This is the only AfD you've ever participated in, and it's been two years since you've edited anything that isn't 15.ai related. While we're talking about "disingenuous.") Ravenswing 22:31, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Also: having just counted, 100WORDS links to fewer than 80 AfDs. Ever. By comparison, sixty AfDs were filed just yesterday. So let's review. You've already been canvassing to this AfD, making sure to call in those who voted to keep in the last AfD and ignoring those who didn't. You shamelessly went on to cast aspersions on veteran editors who came in to register Delete votes. And now you're just making stuff up about AfDs in which you've no evidence of being familiar? I'd advise you to quit while you're behind. Citing ignorance or "brain farts" will only go so far. Ravenswing 22:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Wow, what a welcome environment! Casting suspicion on every move instead of assuming good faith even when said new editor admits to a mistake surely isn't biting the newcomers and discouraging them from learning the rules! Tacotron2 (talk) 23:08, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Quite aside from that assuming good faith works both ways, there's a difference between learning the rules and just making them up as you go along. The way to go about the former is to stop assuming beyond your knowledge. You didn't actually know the canvassing rules; that was the point to ask. You had no idea at all the degree to which 100WORDS was cited or not; that was the point not to airily claim that it was an "often cited guideline." It is incumbent upon newcomers to learn the rules, and two and a half years after your first edit, the time is now. Ravenswing 08:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This comment was directed at Robert McClenon who, like me, is well aware of how AfD works, having commented on 2460 AfDs. I have commented on 721. You, on the other hand, have commented on 2. This one and the last AfD for this page. I think you can trust us to know AfD is not a vote. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:15, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And just out of interest, Ravenswing's claim to have edited a few hundred AfDs turns out to be a huge underestimate. They have edited 4762! Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:21, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    User:Sirfurboy - That is interesting. What tool do you use for that query? That sort of metrics are interesting to someone who sometimes was assigned to do quantitative program management as an IT engineer. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:25, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Robert, this tool just measures "editing AFDs" so for closers, it includes both closures and relistings. I've asked several technically-minded editors/admins if there could be a tool to see if there are admins who have certain closure tendencies (for example, only enacting "Delete" closures) but there was no enthusiasm for obtaining this data so I let it drop. I was mainly interested to satisfy my own curiosity. Liz Read! Talk! 06:21, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Wow, Sirfurboy🏄, that tool says I have edited 27,618 AFDs. I know I have closed quite a few AFD discussions but that total kind of blows my mind. Liz Read! Talk! 19:34, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Goodness me! That's an insane number! Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And it shows that Liz voted in 0 of the AFDs, and so it doesn't show how they were closed because it only lists the result when the editor in question voted. So the tool doesn't evaluate how an admin closed the AFDs, because that isn't what it is for. Interesting. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:09, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Look, I applaud both of your dedication to keeping Wikipedia devoid of useless articles. But that doesn't mean your argument has greater merit than editors who are only here (like me) because they saw the big red box at the top of the Wiki page and so they deserve to be ignored. I'm here because I believe that the subject is notable. Let's keep the discussion on the facts presented, not on speculation whether someone is trustworthy or not. Tacotron2 (talk) 20:31, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not ignoring you. I said you didn't need to reply to this comment to lecture editors on meta matters regarding P&G. The last AfD was a mess, and the rampant sock puppetry on that one was not discovered until months after it closed. It should be set aside and ignored. The last AfD should be ignored - that is not saying anything about you. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I posted this elsewhere because I just noticed that I was mentioned in an AN thread. Regarding my canvassing:
    "I'll be honest with you. I had a brain fart. I thought canvassing was coordinating off Wikipedia to stack a vote. I thought that if you did it on a user's Wikipedia talk pages directly, it wasn't canvassing. I don't know why I thought that. I read something similar to that somewhere else on Wikipedia and I must have misinterpreted it, where asking editors to contribute to a discussion was encouraged. I'm sorry about that."

  • Weak keep as per my previous assessment - these four [103][104][105][106] to me seem sufficient as a baseline, and while the following "viral" cycles and follow-ups are pretty lighweight, the froth does add 'some' mass, so to speak. There is a limited amount of steam I am prepared to expend on this, so I'll leave it at weak keep this time round. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:36, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Elmidae, thanks, but you do not state that you were canvassed to this AfD [107], along with other former keep !voters (those who have not been banned for sockpuppetry). Having contributed to the last AfD, your contribution is still clearly relevant and belongs here, but I note that no one invited any of the previous delete !votes, who were LilianaUwU, Iazyges, Cinadon36, and Oaktree b (the last of whom found this anyway).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as I don't see a consensus here yet. But with four dueling source assessment tables to evaluate, let's not add any additional ones, at least not from the same participants who provided these four. And while it is against Wikipedia rules to canvass, that fact shouldn't lead a closer to totally dismiss a good faith argument (which counts for more than an argument that is just a "per" comment), I see that all of those who argued for Deletion in the previous AFD have also now been pinged to this discussion. So, doing that action can be seen as lessening the influence on canvassing now that all previously participating parties have had their attention brought to this current discussion.

  • Comment I'm surprised a CU hasn't been done on Tacotron2 as they are massively canvassing in this discussion and/or sealioning. Hold the pepper and stop bludgeoning. – The Grid (talk) 20:39, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Hello, everyone! Over the weekend, I did my due diligence and dug up multiple other sources reporting on 15.ai that haven't been mentioned before. I'll refrain from using a table per User:Liz, so here they are!
  • [109]United Daily News, a major Taiwanese newspaper that's one of the two largest traditional news groups in Taiwan, alongside The China Times. This source clearly meets WP:SIGCOV with its in-depth coverage. Importantly, the article does not mention Kotaku, like the AUTOMATON and Den Fami Nico Gamer articles.
  • [110]GamerSky, a major gaming news and media website for the Chinese market, founded in 2003.
  • [111]Towards Data Science, a very popular and reputable ML/AI newsletter with >639K followers on LinkedIn and >233K followers on Twitter, shows up as a news outlet on Google News, and used on multiple highly technical Wikipedia articles like decision tree, image compression, and long short-term memory. Meets WP:SIGCOV with its in-depth coverage, and the article does not mention Kotaku. In addition, the author of the article, Rionaldi Chandraseta, is a co-author on a paper published in 2019 in the IEEE. [112]
  • [113]Sina is one of China's largest news portals, particularly for tech reporting.
And then, various mentions of 15.ai that don't establilsh notability, but are useful for give extra context for the article. Please disregard these for the sake of determining GNG.
  • [114]Byteside, an indie AI/ML newsletter that appears to be self-published.
  • [115]Towards AI, a very popular and reputable ML/AI newsletter with >269K followers that doesn't describe 15.ai in particular depth.
  • [116]While AI voice memes have been around in some form since ‘15.ai’ launched in 2020, the recent launch of Eleven Labs’ AI speech synthesiser has supercharged this trend.Analytics India Magazine, this growing India-based ML/AI news outlet briefly mentions 15.ai as the first instance of voice AI used in content creation.
  • [117]AI voice tools used to create "audio deepfakes" have existed for years in one form or another, with 15.ai being a notable example.Inverse, a US technology and science magazine, briefly mentions 15.ai as a "notable example" of audio deepfakes.
There are many less reliable sources that I've filtered out, but the United Daily News, Towards Data Science, GamerSky, and Sina appear to be reliable. I'll be on the lookout for more sources, and I'll be editing the article with new information gained from these articles.
I've been doing my own research to verify that AUTOMATON, as discussed above, is indeed a reliable source. It has been used in good articles as a reliable source (for example, see Only Up!, Visions of Mana, and Sprigatito, Floragato, and Meowscarada, which all cite AUTOMATON articles as part of their page). With these sources in mind, along with the already agreed-upon Den Fami Nico Gamer article (and possibly the Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Game Informer, and PC Gamer articles, depending on your opinion on those), we meet at least three independent and reliable articles that clearly demonstrate significant coverage (Den Fami Nico Gamer, AUTOMATON, and United Daily News; Towards Data Science is also a contender as a potential fourth), thus meeting WP:GNG.
Thank you for your consideration! GregariousMadness (talk to me!) 23:55, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To meet GNG, sources must be independent, reliable and secondary sources. There must be significant coverage in the source. SIGCOV says "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail So when the only thing a source says is 15.ai being a notable example [of deepfake ai voices] it is not significant coverage, and "is a notable example" is their definition of notable, but not ours. Someone saying 15.ai is notable is not what makes it notable. It is notable if it has significant coverage in the sources.
Let's look at these new sources with that in mind:
  1. United Daily News: I don't read Thai and the Google translation is ropey. But I could not see an significant coverage. It seemed to be talking about GLaDOS and pictures. What are you seeing? Question?
  2. Gamersky: Same problem. The translation says things like: Image 15.ai will release the image of the image, the image will appear in the image4, and the image will appear. I am wondering if the Thai symbols are partially made up of images, so multiple words are being translated as "image". Making a stab at the semantic underpinnings of the original, I think this is just telling us what 15.ai does (or did). Question?
  3. Towards Data Science is published on Medium, usually regarded as a self published source, and not as a WP:RS. I cannot read the full article and do not see mention of 15.ai in the preview. Question?
  4. Sina: A brief intro to what 15.ai does. Not SIGCOV. Red XN
  5. Byteside: You already stated this is a WP:SPS so that is not a WP:RS. Red XN
  6. Towards AI: As you say, this lacks depth. Just a paragraph. Red XN
  7. Analytics India Magazine: As you say, it is an extremely brief mention. Not SIGCOV. Red XN
  8. Inverse: per my first paragraph. All this says is it is a notable example of deepfakes. But that is not wikipedia notability and this is not SIGCOV. Red XN
Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1. Umm... United Daily News is a Taiwanese news outlet, not a Thai one, so it would be written in Chinese (Traditional), not Thai. The whole article talks about 15.ai and it's quite lengthy and detailed in its coverage.
2. GamerSky is also written in Chinese. I see that the article talks about "images" if you Google Translate into Thai, so could you try translating from Chinese (Traditional)?
3. Towards Data Science is written on Medium, but it's its own newsletter. Medium is like Google Docs here, and TDS is the newsletter using "Google Docs" to put it on the Internet. I see the whole article after I logged on using my Google account. The author of the article clearly is qualified and knows what he's talking about - the coverage is very substantial and detailed and talks about the features of 15.ai, such as why there are so many MLP voices, how the emotional contextualizers work, the importance of small amount of training data, intonation and emotion, etc. To give an analogy, if you wrote an essay in college, you wouldn't say that it's unreliable because it was written in Google Docs. Rather, it's reliable because of author and the research and the institution it was written for. Hope that makes sense.
4. Agreed

8. Agreed GregariousMadness (talk to me!) 17:55, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay something weird happened with Google Translate's "detect language" feature there. In any case, yes, forcing it to Chinese does make a more readable article! So let's look at the first three again:
  1. This has a bit more than just what the website does, but the wording here is: According to the website introduction of “15.ai” , 15.ai is a deep learning text reading tool that can generate voices from various characters... [etc.] That is, they are merely quoting the website and not providing analysis. I am going to leave this one with a Question? because while I am unimpressed, I have seen plenty of AfDs where such sources have been accepted. I would argue more strongly against it if we were considering uner WP:NORG, but I note that 15.ai was not selling anything, and was a free demonstration service. As such, GNG should do.
  2. There is less in this one. Just what it does, and that it has a short character limit. Not WP:SIGCOV Red XN.
  3. I cannot access TDS because I need to pay for a Medium subscription to do so. But it is, essentially, a paid blog. I do not think it is a reliable source. What is the editorial oversight? What kind of information is published in these? Your analogy to essays in college is all very well, but actually in academia the reliability of a paper comes from the peer review process, and we would look at the number of citations, and, indeed, the journal it was published in. The lack of a doi would be a red flag too. That is not what this article is. One academic writer says of TDS: It's a dumping ground for students in data science boot camps instructed to write "how-to" articles to improve their brand. If what you say about the article is correct then this will seem a pity. And here again we may be in a grey area. If an in-depth article were written in an edited magazine, we would usually accept that for an article such as this. The extent to which this one can be accepted really depends on what the editorial process is for that blog, and also what it actually says. I don't have those answers, so I'll leave it at a Question?
Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:29, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1. So, the quote is taken a little bit out of context, and the Google translation is a bit off. It says According to the description (not introduction) of "15.ai", it's a deep learning text-to-speech tool that can generate voices from various different characters., which is where the quoting part of the website ends, because they were only talking about the description of 15.ai (which was written in the website's tab header). Then it goes on to do independent analysis about the website, talking about the pitch synthesis algorithms to generate speech in real-time (information which wasn't present in the modal), and also goes on to talk about how the project significantly reduces the audio required to synthesize audio. So the quoting of the website was only used to summarize the website's purpose. Other than that one sentence, the whole article consists of independent analysis.
2. It's short, but it barely meets the WP:100W threshold. Obviously it's not Wikipedia policy, but one could argue it's sufficiently long enough for WP:SIGCOV. But I agree that this one is the weakest of the three listed.
3. I was able to read through the article even without a Medium subscription for free. Did you try logging in with a Google account? Here's the editorial team of TDS, and it seems solid, as the editorial board has a number of research scientists. [118]
Also, I added the AUTOMATON source, which has been getting ignored for most of the AfD. Any thoughts on that? It looks from my research that AUTOMATON is more than reliable enough and provides significant coverage, so it should be good to use to establish GNG. GregariousMadness (talk to me!) 20:43, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
3 is a member-only article, meaning you do need a Medium subscription. Not sure what you're doing on your end. Anyways, I've emailed Sirfurboy with a copy of the article.
3 is definitely significant coverage. Its author also has an IEEE-published conference paper that also credential him with the Bandung School of EE and Informatics.
I would provide a keep !vote if I had the time to also factor in the absurd wall of debate above. What the hell happened here? Aaron Liu (talk) 00:07, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I have no clue what I did, I just logged in using my Google account and it brought me to the article, no paywall. Thanks for emailing it to User:Sirfurboy, I didn't think to do that. As for what happened, it's probably because 15.ai was very popular among the younger Internet crowd, so immature people are probably making accounts because they think that AfDs are a vote. GregariousMadness (talk to me!) 00:12, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you to Aaron Liu for sending me a copy of the Medium article. I remain ambivalent. The article is all about the service, and quotes the website regarding some technical details (sample lengths in particular) but does not evaluate claims regarding how the content is generated, and notes that there is no published paper on this. The writer does seem to have at least exchanged emails with the developer. The article has a few copy issues that should have been picked up by an editor, yet it seems that TDS does have editors (it needs better ones). It reads like a review, and on this score I would be inclined to accept it as a source, because time and again we accept magazine reviews as evidence of notability for websites, games, music and other popular culture subjects. I'll not oppose someone reading it as a yes.
    Personally I have a bit of a problem with that though, because Wikipedia has a systematic bias towards popular culture. People write about the stuff they like and that they see. There is an availability bias too. Taking a step back, I wonder whether anyone will care that a hobbyist created a website that allowed users to briefly create AI generated My Little Pony or Dr Who voices, ten years from now, or twenty. If there were published papers, the answer would be yes. If this were picked up in a history of AI tools (thus a secondary source), the answer would also be yes. But if not, this will be as relevant as the "Big Red Button" of 1994 fame is now. Which is to say, not so much. The site existed, it was fun, and now it is gone. Notability is permanent. If it is notable, it will always be notable. I don't see that notability from this sourcing. Having said that, if this AfD had not been so heavily socked, canvassed and bludgeoned, I expect the anything goes crowd would have accepted the reviews by now, and I would have looked at it, shrugged, and walked away, mentally adding it to examples of Wikipedia's systematic bias. I'll strike my delete and do just that. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:41, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page is a contested draftification, so taking to AfD for review per WP:DRAFTOBJECT. The article appears to focus on a recent law that was passed in France – my search for "digital break" and "digital pause" on Google News mostly turns up coverage of the French law like the sources already cited. Although there are a number of sources, my instinct is that there isn't enough sustained coverage to warrant a standalone article. I think it would make more sense to redirect to Mobile phone use in schools, where debates about restricting mobile phone use in classrooms are already covered comprehensively. Creating a "digital break" section might make sense if it is a widely used phrase in different countries. I'm open to discussion on what the best course of action would be.

This is another "what did the WPA text say?" case, as Baker cites it for a founding date in spite of ample evidence that this is in fact another rail spot. What older topos and aerials show is that this was once the east end of a small yard; I found one person cited as yardmaster there. And all the relevant hits indicate this, with lots of irrelevant surname hits. There's no town here now and now place of it to have been, as the topos show nothing but trackwork and a couple of buildings. Mangoe (talk) 17:31, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I was able to find a news article from 1959 that refers to it as a "town": [127], but it's more about the man it's named for than the place itself. A 1946 article in the Linton Daily Citizen has a little more information, but just describes it as a rail point and not a town: [128]. Undecided about whether this counts as WP:SIGCOV.

This seems like a pretty clear case of WP:BLP1E. The entire article is basically about WP:ONEEVENT which itself doesn't have an article as it's questionable if the event itself is itself would pass WP:EVENTCRIT (enduring significance seems questionable). The person doesn't appear otherwise notable on its own. Suggest deletion as the only other part in this article are actually just about LGB Alliance, not the person, so they are mere sidenotes that don't justify the BLP article. Raladic (talk) 16:59, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Rename to "Bailey v Stonewall, Garden Court Chambers and others" and rework it into an article about that case, which is independently notable, and which the court of appeal will hear it again next year I believe.Void if removed (talk) 17:15, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep WP:BLP1E says :We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met
1. Reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
2. The person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.
3. The event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant, and his role was both substantial and well documented.
1. There is biographical information in this article which is properly sourced.
2. Bailey has been mentioned in the media other than in connection with the discrimination case.
3. The event is significant, and her role in it was significant. If she wins her current appeal, this will be even more significant.
Alternatively, rename per Void if removed.Sweet6970 (talk) 18:57, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's WP:CRYSTAL because she has not, as of now, won her appeal - if she wins her appeal then its still a single event - the appeal of her ongoing litigation against Stonewall being part of said ongoing litigation - and, as for her media mentions, are any of them not about her anti-trans activism with LGBA or the lawsuit? Simonm223 (talk) 19:07, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the extract from WP:BLP1E which I quoted above: for WP:BLP1E to apply, then all 3 conditions have to be met. Since the legal case is significant, and her role in it is also (obviously) significant, this case does not come under WP:BLP1E. Sweet6970 (talk) 19:28, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The significance of the legal case is highly questionable being honest. Simonm223 (talk) 19:30, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The case is clearly significant. There have been several successful employment claims since the Forstater and Bailey rulings where Bailey has been cited (eg. Meade vs Westminster City Council), as it goes a little beyond Forstater in providing examples of what is to be considered protected speech. It also establishes and protects slightly wider beliefs than Forstater.
It also, most significantly IMO, wanders into the area of inducement to discriminate under s111 of the EA, which Bailey lost at the EAT, but will now be heard by the court of appeal on the grounds that:
The grounds have a real prospect of success but, in any event, raise issues of some general importance which should be considered by this Court. In particular, an issue arises as to the correct interpretation of section 111 of the Equality Act 2010 which does not seem to be the subject of previous authority. There is therefore a compelling reason to grant permission to appeal.
So this will set significant precedent.
So it has been subject to significant coverage in popular mainstream media, is cited in other cases which have also received significant coverage, and although we cannot use a WP:CRYSTALBALL, when it reaches the court of appeal, whatever the outcome it will also establish precedent in an important area of equality law. Void if removed (talk) 20:57, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"This will set significant precedent" is WP:CRYSTAL though. You cannot know that ahead of the fact. Simonm223 (talk) 14:55, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wasn't convinced when I first saw this but, after thinking about it, I think I do agree that something should be done. It doesn't feel like BLP1E, because the 1E has dragged on for far too long, but it probably is 1E nonetheless. Of the two options, I think making an article about the case might have a slight edge over merging it to the LGBA article. It isn't the LGBA's case, at least not directly, and handling it as a case encourages us to cover it like we would other cases, with a focus on the claims, laws and judgements rather than personalities, sideshows and fundraising. It might help to attract other editors who have experience covering legal matters. The case is quite complicated. I wasn't even aware that there was a further appeal. I thought that the last unsuccessful one was the end of it. Most people who have heard about it have heard very one-sided reporting. (I dare say that a fair few people must be confused as to why she was/is appealing a case that she had spent ages telling everybody that she had "won".) It would be good to detail it correctly so that readers can understand what the various parts of the case are, which bit she won and which bits she lost. I don't outright oppose the merge idea but renaming the article and bringing it up to standard as a legal article seems the better option. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The appeal is mentioned on her website [129], but as far as I am aware, it has not yet been mentioned in the media. Sweet6970 (talk) 19:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think turning the article into a rendition of the case is the best compromise, it is the most significant ruling in this area alongside Forstater v CGDE, and although it's not been covered in the media, the grounds on which the court of appeal have agreed to hear it are significant. Void if removed (talk) 20:25, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Far too much weight is being given to speculation about what might happen in the appeal case here. Simonm223 (talk) 20:30, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Correct, speculation about a potential future violates WP:CRYSTALBALL, either the event is already right now significant and if the article was renamed to focus on the court case, the case needs to pass WP:EVENTCRIT, in particular Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes.... – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.
So aside from suggestion the article be moved to be about the case, the editors arguing for it, also need to actually provide evidence that it passes the eventcrit. Raladic (talk) 22:36, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A legal case that has been covered by many of the UK's largest newspapers isn't a routine news event, and no crimes have been alleged here. Astaire (talk) 23:38, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. I said it already is notable, with reasons (extensive ongoing media coverage and analysis, and citations in other cases). Once it is ruled on in the court of appeal it will be even more notable. Deleting the article of an already notable case that is certain to become more notable is unjustifiable.

The strange obsession of the UK press toward trans people does not confer notability to a routine court case. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Simonm223 (talk) 11:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing WP:CRYSTALBALL about a case which is going to the Court of Appeal. The result will be legally notable, whichever way it goes. A case which goes to the Court of Appeal is, by definition, not a ‘routine case’. And there is no ‘strange obsession of the UK press toward trans people’ - the case is not ‘about trans people’ it is about discrimination. Sweet6970 (talk) 14:11, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or alternatively rename to focus on the legal case, per Sweet6970. The case has been widely covered in UK press, with The Guardian calling it a microcosm of the wider debate about transgender rights [130]. Oppose merge or delete. Astaire (talk) 19:47, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename the article is primarily about the case. The case is not "significant" enough for BLP1E to not apply; there is some dispute regarding whether an article about the case would be deleted. There is no evidence of other coverage of her. Walsh90210 (talk) 19:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to LGB Alliance; she's only notable for activism as a part of that. The court case, which alleged that she was discriminated against for her position in that group, is downstream of that. --Aquillion (talk) 21:38, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or alternatively rename to focus on the legal case. The case has been widely covered in UK press and Bailey is cited as a campaigner for lesbian women's rights in bringing her case. It was her as much as the case which made it notable, I think. Melissa Highton (talk) 14:13, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Definitely. I don't think I would be opposed to renaming it as has been suggested but the article is clearly significant in terms of litigation that involves Stonewall and Garden Court Chambers and without this article, the twists and turns of this somewhat complex and long-running case would be lost.

This is plainly a rail point, formerly a crossover/junction and more recently a rather odd pair of junctions. The only road in the area actually swerves to avoid the spot, and the only building is in the middle of the junction; I would gather it was once the "tower" but it's impossible to tell. I did find some explicit reference to it as a rail station/junction but other references are to the marsh or to a potential archaeological site, or to local mining activity, npne of which are not in this immediate vicinity.

Redirect to Boxing at the 1936 Summer Olympics – Welterweight Keep, see comment below. - no significant coverage in any sources apart from listings type sites, and the corresponding jawiki is similarly unsourced. Subject finished 17th in class in the 1936 Olympics. I therefore submit that the article does not meet WP:NSPORT in its own right, but a redirect to the competition page is appropriate. SunloungerFrog (talk) 15:28, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I added some sources and it looks like he had a career after the Olympics that was, at minimum, interesting. I think with more research we could have a good article here. ScribblingTiresias (talk) 00:04, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment ScribblingTiresias you had accidentally switched one of the sources in the reference to the Meiji Shrine Games, so I altered that. I am not averse to keeping the article, but I would not say that the sources represent WP:SIGCOV - they are all stats / listings sources apart from the journal article (nice find!), which only gives him a somewhat passing mention. I am a bit surprised that there appears to be nothing on kowiki, though my Korean is by no means good enough to be absolutely certain about that. SunloungerFrog (talk) 00:41, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If the olympics Biography source is correct he won the Japanese national title to be chosen to represent Japan at the games. The different names are throwing my searches off a bit, but it’s hard to believe that an athlete who won a national title, and represented their country at the Olympics doesn’t have enough sources SOMEWHERE in whatever language to establish notability - and since the standard is “sources exist” not “sources are currently cited in the article as written”… And given how far pre-internet he was, finding sources which somehow got digitised is always going to be tricky. I don’t have a strong enough opinion to vote one way or the other, but it seems a shame to delete such an interesting character / piece of history for no really strong reason like obvious false information / lack of achievement…
Absurdum4242 (talk) 16:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - the kowiki page has another printed source. It is all in Korean, but available on archive.org. From memory and a rather dodgy Google Translate, it's "90 years of Korean sport", or some such. That is the reference for the national competition that he won, so in aggregate I would now say that there are just about sufficient sources, especially for a shortish article, so I am more inclined to keep now. And I agree Absurdum4242 that it would be rather a pity to lose the article at this stage. SunloungerFrog (talk) 17:58, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced biography of a child actor, created in 2015 as a redirect to the sitcom Best of Luck Nikki, but which has had several unsourced article creation attempts made since then, which have been WP:BLAR'd each time. Nair had a named minor role in that series, and in the film Bhoot and Friends, so I would have expected to find more coverage of him in RS, but in English and Hindi (आकाश नायर) I can find only passing mentions. The rest is the usual social media, Fandom, etc. I propose to restore the redirect. Wikishovel (talk) 15:25, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Best of Luck Nikki: I am unable to find any reliable sources that provide significant coverage or even minimal details about the subject. The subject fails to meet WP:GNG, and since it is not listed in the cast of any notable film, it also fails to meet WP:NACTOR. I suggest redirecting this article as it was before and protecting it indefinitely to only allow edits from autoconfirmed or extended-confirmed users.

    Hello, I’m new to Wikipedia, and I’m still learning how everything works. From what I’ve gathered, an article needs to have coverage from reliable sources to be considered notable. I’ve found a few sources that mention Akash Nair, and I think they could be enough to meet the notability guidelines, but I’m open to feedback and understand if it doesn't meet the criteria.
    Sources:
    1. IMDb Profile - This profile shows Akash Nair’s acting career, including his role in Best of Luck Nikki and Bhoot and Friends.
    2. MouthShut Review - There are some user reviews of Best of Luck Nikki that talk about Akash’s role as Sunny Singh.
    3. TellyChakkar Article - This article talks about the cast of Best of Luck Nikki and mentions Akash Nair as part of the team.
    4. Bollywood Hungama Article - This site has a short overview of Akash’s career, including his roles in TV and films.
    5. NETTV4V Article - This site has a short overview of Akash’s career, including his roles in TV and films.
    Personal Life Segment:
    I also included a bit about Akash Nair’s personal life from his LinkedIn profile to show that he’s done work outside of acting too, like in editing and media. I thought this might help paint a fuller picture of who he is.
    LinkedIn Profile
    I know these sources might not be very long or detailed, but I believe they show that Akash Nair has made a significant impact with his roles. Icecreamchuger (talk) 15:23, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I could find no significant coverage whatsoever in any source, reliable or otherwise. Plenty of listings and stats sites, all of which are fairly scanty. Career highlight seems to have been one season at Ascoli when they were a Serie A club, during which the subject did not appear to have played any matches.

  • Keep - as with this nominator's other items recently at AfD, this is a topic that is certainly notable and not remotely a WP:DICDEF or WP:OR, as shown by sources out there in the world, which is the criterion. While the article looks poorly cited, it actually cites the King James Bible, Shakespeare, and the Prayer Book, somewhere between implicitly and explicitly (mainly without blue-numbered refs): but again, that isn't the AfD criterion. I'll have a go at tidying the article and citing it a bit better, as it deserves. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:54, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article fails WP:GNG and WP:PRODUCT. Rainsday (talk) 10:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I found sourcing to show that the subject meets WP: GNG. The subject receives in-depth coverage in two papers, published by separate groups of authors at Chinese universities. These papers appeared in ASE 2024, meaning that they are peer-reviewed and thus credible. Here are the papers: [1] [2] I do think this article has several issues, but they can be fixed without deleting the article, so I am inclined to keep it.

  • Weak Keep I couldn't find two independent sources satisfying GNG. (updated) there's a few sources likely passing GNG, but it's weak. User:HyperAccelerated - is that are those sources independent?

    Yes -- do you have reason to believe they aren't? One paper is from a team of researchers at Southern University of Science and Technology and another from a team at Beihang University. There isn't anything in the Acknowledgement sections to indicate they got funding from Huawei (who developed ArkTS), and if there was substantial collaboration with Huawei I'd expect someone from Huawei to be on the author list. I suspect there's more coverage in Chinese, but I think that these papers are sufficient to establish notability anyway. HyperAccelerated (talk) 22:37, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks. However, you added nine references, and: [139] has just a single sentence stating what ALGAO is; [140], [141], [142], [143] are reports and publications of ALGAO itself; [144] is a press release about a report ALGAO produced; [145] and [146] offer passing mentions in the context of a manufactured "war on woke" story; and [147] doesn't mention the subject. So we still have no significant coverage in independent sources.

Kashmir is often described as a warzone, with routine news events frequently occurring (#4). Events lacking historical significance (#1) and substantial national and international reactions (#2) are generally presumed non-notable under WP:EVENT. Also, article lacks WP:CASESTUDY.

I'd typically recommend adding this to the respective List of terrorist incidents in [country] article and redirecting, but it's... Kashmir, so unsure of how well that would work. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:35, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I respectfully object to this page being placed suggested for deletion. GLL is notable as one of the UK's larger social enterprises and also runs some of the venues that were used in the 2012 London Olympics, such as the London Aquatics Centre (which has its own Wikipedia page) and is also mentioned on the Zaha Hadid Wikipedia page. There are also quite a number of Olympic and Paralympic medal winners that were supported by GLL's Sport Foundation. I'd like to try and find some independent, impartial secondary sources so the GLL Wikipedia page could meet Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. Could we take it off the list for the time being so I can suggest some changes and then reassess please? Leemann72 (talk) 21:51, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The applicable guideline is WP:NONPROFIT, and it is also noted there is no indication of a WP:BEFORE search done by the nominator. A quick search on ProQuest indicates circa 419 hits for "Greenwich Leisure Limited". Further in-depth analysis would be needed to build an article, but there does seem to be coverage out there including this, in a long standing journal and written by the journal editor. The Guardian newspaper confirms that GLL is the biggest trust in the UK running sports facilities. All told - enough evidence to presume notability under NONPROFIT in my view - even if the article needs lots of work. ResonantDistortion 16:26, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Solza may just be a taphonomic variation of Kimberella, all others are from McMenamin and therefore are likely unfounded. Therefore, it’s a monotypic taxon. IC1101-Capinatator (talk) 12:52, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Kimberella, seems the grouping itself is accepted by some of researchers as looking on Google Scholar, but it is mostly monotypic. As I see it is not known when this grouping was established, probably need information for that. In the talk page article creator commented that they used ChatGPT to write the article, and current status is terrible. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 13:09, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be in full support of a merge. It seems to be an invention purely supported by McMenamin. The Morrison Man (talk) 14:23, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No matter what it is not an McMenamin taxon,look it up although McMenamin does mention the order rarely , but McMenamin did not describe this order. 2010.1126/science.1206375 DOI 10.1126/science.1206375Zhenghecaris (talk) 20:48, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why can't you even properly link to the paper?[149] You are definitely new to editing and should learn more about how to edit Wikipedia. Anyway, seeing from Scholar, this paper appears to be the earliest mention of "Kimberellomorpha", but there is no discussion of what kind of taxonomic group it is, so this seems to be just a loose grouping like "roachoid" without clear scientific classification. So simply mentioning Kimberella article will suffice for this. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 22:33, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, no reason for Wikipedia to support this dubious bit of taxonomy. As for ChatGPT's editing and writing abilities, don't throw away your fountain pens any time soon, editors. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn’t use ChatGPT. Zhenghecaris (talk) 20:43, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The unneeded "1." shown in synonyms in that article makes it the doubt that is copied from something outputted by ChatGPT. In any case, this article has a number of problems, including unnecessary spaces, spaces that aren't where they should be, and incorrect use of bold and italics. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 22:37, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
“ChatGPT says the next subdivision is Kimberellida” Hmm, it sure sounds like you’re at least using ChatGPT to help write some of the article… IC1101-Capinatator (talk) 08:35, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
comment The idea of including this taxon was already rejected in Kimberella by Donald Albury and IC1101-Capinatator, who called it a "dubious taxon". And an earlier conclusion was that work by MAS McMenamin had to be verified by secondary references, before inclusion in Wikipedia. However this term Kimberallmorph/s/a seems to have been used by others, but not as a properly defined taxon. I would suggest that we just have the term as a redirect.

This recently created list fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY. It is an extremely detailed breakdown for specific purposes in a professional sphere, which goes beyond the scope of an encyclopedia. Other European metropolises do not have a list with such a breakdown (so Brno is very random in this context). Similar lists are not found on cswiki either. FromCzech (talk) 12:32, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest that's quite fair. I simply wanted to make a ranking of the basic settlement units by density and population since that's what I'm usually interested in, but if others agree for the deletion I am for it too. GreenWolfyVillager (talk) 13:00, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is clearly not ready for mainspace but a new user has now move-warred to keep it in mainspace from draft.

Sourcing in the article is inadequate for a BLP and are mostly primary sources. Better to continue to incubate in draft, if not delete outright per the last AfD's consensus. ―"Ghost of Dan Gurney" (hihi) 11:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there!I was the new user that "move-warred" to keep this article in mainspace. This article is based on the article for Escott Reid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escott_Reid, however it contains more sources.
All sources are vetted and from the Indian government (2 articles), neutral sources (1 article) or press (2 articles).
Beyond the article,
I moved the page to article, ghostofdangurrey moved it to draft, I removed an uncited sentence and moved it to article (which I assumed was the best way to work based on the details from the help articles). While I understand if there is room for improvement, gatekeeping editing and using words like move-warred (when I apologized for moving it following a comment), is an interesting way to moderate.

  • Very Weak Keep - I turned this one over and over, but the description in the first article is WP:SIGCOV. The second possibly less so, since it's in the correspondence section of the RE Journal, albeit from an expert. Confusion over the name of the topic (the correspondence says it's now called Gorham's Cave, but that's a different article) weakens this even more, but its seems likely there's been archaeological research there which would mean further academic coverage, so WP:NEXIST applies.

  • Keep: Poorly sourced, yes: cleanup issue. Fails NLIST? no, meets NLIST as the topic as a set has received coverage. (Thomson, C. (2007). Estonia - Culture Smart! The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture. Kuperard. for example or Noble, J., Williams, N., Gauldie, R. (1997). Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania(Keeling): Lonely Planet, p. 147, for a start) At least a redirect and merge to Cinema of Estonia seems warranted to preserve history.

  • Keep. Appears that the list topic has been discussed as a set in RS. That is all we need to prove WP:NLIST. Further, I don't think this list falls under any of the six criteria of WP:NOTDIRECTORY, and those saying it does haven't actually discussed or connected the list to any one of the six standards for making that judgement. It's not a convincing argument as the list has a clearly defined scope that is relevant to the Cinema of Estonia. It's not a simple listing because of the RS coverage, and given that Estonian language films get played pretty much only in theaters in Estonia and the small geographic area its reasonable to list theaters in a single page for topical reasons. It's therefore not a "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics" or a "Non-encyclopedic cross-categorization", or a "A resource for conducting business", or a "Genealogical entry", or an "Electronic program guides".4meter4 (talk) 18:33, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with Cinema of Estonia: The sources provided to "pass WP:NLIST" in my eyes are far from that, and are in fact WP:ROUTINE. Noble, J., Williams, N., Gauldie, R. (1997). Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania (Keeling): Lonely Planet, p. 147 is a paragraph giving phone numbers, email addresses and addresses of some cinemas, with no meaningful analysis or commentary on the set (7 words!) or even claim of exhaustivity. I don't have access to the other source identified, but the same author three years prior wrote a guide book for Tallinn (note the later book was for Estonia as a whole) Thomson, C. (2004). Tallinn (Footprint), p.177 which is similarly not discussing cinemas in Estonia as a set (or in Tallinn). There is a very brief recap of cinema in Estonia, then a paragraph explicitly claiming to only list the main 3 locations and one arthouse cinema, with a fair share of the paragraph being used for the cinemas' names, address, phone number and location on the map provided with the book. If the content in her later book is significantly different, I feel the onus is on the people claiming it meets NLIST to explain how so at this point.
    Other "List of X in (Country)" articles have been kept when they are useful to help with navigating pages which pass GNG on their own (e.g., List of golf courses in Canada) but generally only when they need to be separated from the main topic due to length. Cinema of Estonia is not at that point, and having a short list at some point in the article of notable cinemas would be relevant (I see that the article is already illustrated by a photo of an Estonian cinema!).

This skirmish was a very small part of Operation Corridor 92, for which we already have a Good Article which doesn't even mention this event due to its very minor nature. The village of Gornje Kolibe is mentioned once in the second volume of the comprehensive CIA history of the 90s wars in the Balkans, "Balkan Battlegrounds", but only briefly in the context of Operation Corridor 92, and none of the detail of this fighting is even mentioned. Non-notable firefight, appears to have been created effectively as a memorial page to those who fought there. Events from 30 years ago in this war have been examined in considerable detail in academic standard publications, so I have deleted the various local/town/regional news portals, many of which are dubious and/or biased and have no real editorial process (and therefore not reliable), and what is left (cited) is pretty much nothing. One of numerous highly marginally notable articles recently created by a series of now blocked socks. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:13, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - This looks like a case very similar to the recently deleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Siege of Smoluća (2nd nomination). As a very minor skirmish this may not warrant an own article and then may also be removed from the campaignbox. It may, as had been suggested in the case of Smoluća, be mentioned briefly in some broader article like, in this case, the one on Operation Corridor 92. We should beware, though, not to overburden those broader articles by including each and every fight over some local village as there must be hundreds of them. --Proofreader (talk) 19:52, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A sad story, but has no evidence of WP:SUSTAINED notability (one local follow-up story after the initial wider range of news reports). Fails WP:NOTNEWS. Fram (talk) 08:59, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: It's disturbing this is even being debated. Nation-wide story in Canada. Reported on by CNN. That's enough for notability. It's also hard for "significant reform" to be forced if Wikipedia erases its entry on said nation-wide and international story. Zachary Klaas (talk) 23:03, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Times Of India is following this as well. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nri/us-canada-news/no-foul-play-in-death-of-gursimran-kaur-walmart-employee-found-in-oven-canadian-police/articleshow/115433459.cms - why do you suppose this story about an Indo-Canadian might have been of interest to people in India? Saying the story is not notable suggests certain groups of people are not notable for their interest in the story. (Trying to say that with as much assumption of good will as possible.)
People also picked up the story. https://people.com/walmart-employees-family-traumatized-after-body-mysteriously-found-in-walk-in-oven-8737147 Being in that magazine is usually considered a slam dunk for what's considered "notable". Why not in this case?
There's also an indication that South Asian immigrants in Canada continue to follow the story - a news story from two days ago says the family is retaining legal representation and that the Maritime Sikh Society is "deeply upset" by the recent police findings. https://desibuzzcanada.com/post/police-say-no-foul-play-suspected-in-indo-canadian-woman-who-died-in-walmart-oven

  • Delete: Yes the event got coverage in Canada, it's basically an industrial accident. Other than passing away, there isn't much more to be said about the individual. The event isn't terribly notable either; workplace deaths are rare but not unheard of... Could be re-created if it's found to cause changes in labour/safety laws. I hate to use the ROUTINE, but this was just a non-notable person that passed away in a workplace incident. Oaktree b (talk) 16:20, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    To put this in perspective, there were 220 deaths in the workplace, in Ontario, in 2022. [156]. Industrial accidents happen and most are not notable. This event happened in another province, but it's one in a list of many. Oaktree b (talk) 16:23, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:EVENTCRIT: Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. An article would be justified if e.g. the tragedy led to workplace safety reforms, if it had broader effects for the Indian community in Canada, etc. - but not currently.

  • Comment: I found some local coverage, which is nice but not really the strongest possible source since local papers are more likely to cover local people. There's mention of it screening at a film festival in 2011 and winning an award, but it's not really a major film festival from what I can see so that's not really usable either. Finally, it looks like there are two critic reviews at Rotten Tomatoes, but I'm not sure how usable either really are. One of them doesn't seem to be running anymore, as when I click on the link on RT it takes me to a spam site. It's overall pretty weak sauce at best. This very technically meets notability guidelines by way of the film festivals and smattering of coverage, but in my opinion it also fails it pretty solidly at the same time. I would say that it would be good to identify what film festivals would qualify under NFILM, but that would be kind of hard to pin down. For example, one could argue that we only use notable film festivals - however that would exclude those screenings and mini-festivals held by very notable and major institutions.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. Bitman, Terry (2004-11-02). "Not 'The Twilight Zone,' but a S. Jersey thriller". The Philadelphia Inquirer. Archived from the original on 2024-12-03. Retrieved 2024-12-03.

      The article notes: "Here's the chilling plot: There are terminally ill people who would like someone to end their suffering, and there are people who like the thrill of killing. Why not match them up?The story may sound like something out of the old Twilight Zone, but in fact it is from a low-budget independent film called The Altruist, shot in Camden County.It is the latest production of writer-producer Mick McCleery, 34, a full-time teacher at the Gloucester County Institute of Technology, who has been writing screenplays since he was a child. The Altruist—which McCleery calls a "dark thriller"—is scheduled to premiere tomorrow at the Ritz Sixteen in Voorhees."

    2. Shryock, Bob (2004-11-02). "Teacher premiers new independent feature film". Gloucester County Times. Archived from the original on 2024-12-03. Retrieved 2024-12-03 – via Newspapers.com.

      The article notes: "County Institute of Technology (GCIT), will attend premiers of his new independent feature film, "The Altruist," twice in the next five days. That translates to two showings on two continents, from the Ritz 16 in Voorhees Wednesday to sold-out Clapham Picture House in London, England Sunday, 88 hours and 3,500 miles apart. ... The 104-minute film, which McCleery describes "a match-making service" for the country's 30,000 annual murders and 60,000 annual suicides, is a low-budget ($10,000 to $15,000) flick shot almost exclusively in South Jersey and largely in Deptford. Some cast members and technicians are Gloucester County products ..."

    3. Longsdorf, Amy (2004-10-29). "Haddon Heights native's project makes it to big screen". Courier-Post. Archived from the original on 2024-12-03. Retrieved 2024-12-03 – via Newspapers.com.

      The article notes: "From that notion sprung The Altruist, a drama about a Kevorkian Inc.-style business called Terminal Assist. For his cast, McCleery turned to actors he'd worked with before, including childhood pal and fellow Haddon Heights native John Innocenzo, Innocenzo's wife Bobbi Ashton, Mike McLaughlin, Nick Cammarano and a half-dozen of McCleery's fellow teachers from Gloucester County."

    4. Ralph, Matthew (2004-11-11). "Friends' lives come together to create film" (pages 1 and 2). Gloucester County Times. Archived from the original (pages 1 and 2) on 2024-12-03. Retrieved 2024-12-03 – via Newspapers.com.

      The article notes: "When lifelong friends Mick McCleery and John Innocenzo spent a semester studying in London, neither dreamed they'd be returning to the city to premiere a film 14 years later. On Sunday, McCleery, 35, of Haddon Heights, who teaches full-time video production at Glouceste County Institute of Technology, and Innocenzo, who appeared in McCleery's first film in grade school, revisited the city they both spent a semester of college in to premiere McCleery's low-budget feature length film "The Altruist." While it was filmed exclusively in Gloucester and Camden counties, its star Billy Franks lives in London and arranged the screenin at the brick Clapham Picture House on a narrow side street in the southwest London village of Clapham."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow The Altruist to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

This is a also a WP:BLP, and there is no sufficient secondary coverge to pass WP:SIGCOV which was the primary reason it was on the cat:nn list. All these references are passing mentions and not really about her. Any BLP needs high quality WP:SECONDARY source to establish notability, not passing mentions.

She has already mentioned quite heavily already in that article. Plotkin seems to have been the president since the 1980's, so the name isn't going to be lost.

I don't see any policy reason why we can't have a redirect for Plotkin to Beverly Wilshire Homes Association and use any distinct sources provided for Plotkin to improve the Beverly Wilshire Homes Association article. Basically that is what I meant by merge. Perhaps I should have said "slim merge" to indicate this more clearly.

Also, the school changed names a few years ago, so you have to search again under the old name, e.g., this link to Google News, which will give you news articles saying things like MP Didmus Wekesa Barasa is an alumnus[157] and another saying who the school's (current? recent?) principal is.[158]. A building burned down.[159] It is officially designated as an extra county school (formerly, 'provincial'), which is an important thing in Kenya but not something that I'd expect an American to know about.[160] There are more, but I think this suffices to show that there nom's WP:BEFORE search was inadequate.

  • Keep (weakly) - The page needs cleanup of course, but that is outside the remit of AfD. The sourcing I have found is mostly news sources and writing articles from primary news reporting is problematic, and, indeed, such sources do not meet GNG, so there is an element of IAR about this !vote. However it is clear that it is a well established and somewhat prestigious school that generates sustained interest. There is enough information to significantly improve what we have, and to verify much detail. What is lacking is a good history of the school, but there is a systematic bias in Wikipedia towards schools in locales such as the US, where sourcing is more readily available online. Proceeding with caution from the news reporting is possible here. Note that in addition to the other names, multiple sources call the school St. Luke's Kimilili Boy's High School. E.g [161] and [162], although their YouTube channel favours St Luke's Boy's High School-Kimilili [163]. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:01, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article cites five sources. Four of them are just different translations of the Edda (the primary source work that the two beings come from), which the article SYNTHs together into a loose historiography. The fifth is a dictionary that the article uses to translate the article title to "Summer and Winter". I can't access foreign-language sources, but I don't see anything that could reasonably count as SIGCOV in a secondary independent source, so... seems like a GNG fail to me as written. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:31, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • No and learn the basics before even nominating something like this. This is just obnoxious. First of all, this article discusses two items, the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda, which are themselves compilations of earlier traditional works. They are not at all the same sources. The dictionary, Orchard's, is a handbook, not a list of words and definitions. There's nothing even approaching WP:SYNTH on this article. Second, as with just about anything in the eddic corpus, there's a mountain of secondary and tertiary discussion about these figures. There's a lot to do on Wikipedia and attempting to delete well-sourced and well-written articles on topics you clearly don't understand the first thing about isn't one of them. Yeesh. :bloodofox: (talk) 09:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Okay, so what you're saying is that the article is various recaps of the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, cited to various translations of the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda. There's only one sentence that isn't just story summary, at the bottom of the Poetic Edda section. Doesn't sound like "a mountain of secondary or tertiary discussion" to me. Are there any secondary sources that meaningfully discuss Sumarr and Vetr at length? If there are, I would love for the article to be expanded with useful content. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 10:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you'd be wise to become familiar with even the basic of fundamentals with a topic before injecting yourself into a discussion regarding it. These aren't "story summaries", which you'd know if you read the article you're trying to delete. We have a section discussing the historic record and then its scholastic reception, which is typical for accurate presentation of the Old Norse myth record, like in the handbooks of Simek, Orchard, and Lindow. This drive to delete well-sourced material useful for readers over actually working to improve Wikipedia is absurd. :bloodofox: (talk) 01:06, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Seasons in the Literatures of the Medieval North, p. 39-42 seems to have quite a bit to say on those. Forecast - A Diary of the Lost Seasons, p. 79, is much shorter but seems non-trivial with its observation that Old Norse only recognized two seasons, sumarr and vetr, associated with life and death. Die Symbolik der Himmelsrichtungen, Jahreszeiten und Jahresfeste, p. 136, 155, has pretty similar content than both and falls inbetween lengthwise. With the limited preview there I don't quite get where the extended quotations(?) on the subject come from, though. Daranios (talk) 16:06, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and improve. The article needs to make clear that the ancient Norse year was divided into two halves, vetr and sumarr, and that both are also found personified. We cite Simek's Dictionary of Northern Mythology (1996 English translation of his 1984 Lexikon der germanischen Mythologie—our article wording "In the late 1900s" is deceptively ambiguous) for his opinion that the personifications were literary. The article should be rebalanced, starting with the intro, to not present them as primarily mythological figures, although they are such in the Prose Edda and elsewhere (I'm not saying that should be removed from the article!). And it should definitely note that vetr is used for counting years—so many "winters" old, so many "winters" between events. From the summary we now have, Grimm was being silly. Ár is etymologically a "year" word but was used to refer to the year's harvest (and agricultural plenty in general). We are probably misrepresenting his position a bit; but the battle between winter and summer is a superannuated theory in Germanic mythology. Normally I would have rewritten the article a bit before responding here (thanks for the ping, bloodofox); however. I am typing this laboriously in a hospital (sorry for typos) without access to my books. Google Books won't show me Simek and I decided to leave checking Grimm for others. I did check Daranios' link to Harry Eilenstein's Die Symbolik der Himmelsrichtungen, Jahreszeiten und Jahresfeste (this is my search result, with p. 136 looking most likely). However, the snippets of text I can see and the publication information—volume 54 in the series Die Götter der Germanen, published on demand by Norderstedt—suggest to me that the book is too fringey to be citeable. And I doubt it has much of use to say since it's focussed on religious symbolism. This (Kristýna Králová, Fast Goes the Fleeting Time: The Miscellaneous Concepts of Time in Different Old Norse Genres, 2020, Münchner nordistische Studien; passage starts on p. 91) seems to me to be a good source for explaining the uses of the two words for the seasons, as well as suggesting that Snorri's personification is a later development. (And it's in English, and has a reference or two on the 4-fold division of the year being introduced with the Julian calendar.) I'm afraid I have to stop here and hope the trackpad hasn't destroyed this !vote (and the linguists may want to correct me). Yngvadottir (talk) 03:16, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This seems fine. The mythological figures are minor but the article relays what the primary sources say about them and has a bit of scholarly analysis as well. It all checks out and meets our requirements. Haukur (talk) 07:19, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This can be improved for sure but that is not because it can't be. We already have so much we're working on getting up to scratch and we shouldn't throw all of this away just to have someone start it again. I can add a bit when I get the time but it seems completely sufficient to me to stand as it is as a page, even if it can be fleshed out more. --Ingwina (talk) 08:53, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep--Berig (talk) 21:24, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per the above. The article properly describes the situation from the primary sources, and supplements that with an analysis section. The topic is certainly of encyclopedic interest, and more remains to be done from the other sources available, but notability is not in doubt. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:45, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep My sentiments echo those of both bloodofox and Yngvadottir. There really is no reason to outright eliminate this article. It could stand some work as already mentioned, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater here. --Obenritter (talk) 20:46, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a scale that has only been proposed and used by one private company to compete with the indexes that the National Weather Service uses. It is not significantly covered by the National Weather Service, any of its subsidiaries, nor any major, reliable sources that are independent of the subject, failing WP:GNG. Additionally, the sources which are cited in providing information for the index have not been updated since 2008, and were created by the company that developed the scale. Since the subject of this article has such limited coverage and only sources from the developers of the scales are cited, I believe that this article should be deleted.

  • Delete - I'm pretty sceptical when the only evidence that this place was ever a community is the single word "village" used in a one-paragraph description. Particularly when no incorporation ever happened, to be platted means that plans for a town at the location were filed, but that does not mean those plans were ever necessarily realised. The fact that the two names for this place (Maxams, Douglas) were simply the name of the post master during their period strongly suggests that this was only ever a post office - that is, not a community, but a single building or store. If an ATD is needed a redirect/merge to Center Township, Gibson County, Indiana can be done, but the reality is the only verifiable information that can be merged there is the name of the post master, which is surely not WP:DUE.
