Training for Utopia / Zao

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

Non-notable split EP. The HM Magazine review is a few sentences long and seems to comprise the extent of independent coverage. Because the album is a split, there is no clear target for the standard redirect-to-artist procedure. Skeletor3000 (talk) 22:31, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment HM is the primary source for Christian metal and extreme music at this time. That they also have a one-line review in AllMusic is impressive. The work gets a one-sentence mention in the Training for Utopia entry in Powell, Mark Allan (2002). Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music. Peabody, Massachusetts: Hendrickson Publishers. p. 959. ISBN 1-56563-679-1., but it's not mentioned in the Zao entry. I don't see the article expanding beyond the stub it is now and can't really support its inclusion on the project, but I won't make a !vote for its deletion either.

Delete as I could not locate enough coverage from third-party, reliable sources to support WP:GNG. Since this EP was released by two artists, I do not believe there is a clear redirect target. Aoba47 (talk) 02:26, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Communication audit

comment "Communications audit" is a real thing, and so is "social media audit" (the apparent actual subject of the article as it is written, judging from the references). I get book hits on doing both. That said, the article may benefit from some WP:TNT. Mangoe (talk) 23:39, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Information and communication technologies for development; this and other articles have been part of some sort of assignment that involves students writing essays and then pasting them into the article, resulting in bloated, nigh-unreadable piles of WP:OR and WP:synth.

Keep Not really sure how an article about a religious order of nuns could be considered "advertising" (doubtful a WP article is a viable recuritment strategy), but they pass notabilithy guidelines through their existance as an official Catholic order, mention in various news articles, etc. If you feel the article could be trimmed, have at it, but really don't see a notability issue here. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 00:31, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Trying to "sell" your retreats, healthcare facilities, schools and other work is also advertising/promotion. The Banner talk 01:58, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Then work to cleanup the tone. Clearly this is notable. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 03:00, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are books about the congregation, of which the following seem to be the most important:[1][2][3][4]. There are quite a few others that do not look as independent[5]. With a history dating back to 1866 there's going to be a ton of periodical coverage too.Jahaza (talk) 01:52, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

      - And just like that, you've affirmed their notablity. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 19:21, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        No, as they do not describe the congregation. The Banner talk 20:15, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        Whether or not you feel those sources provide helpful material to describe the Order is irrelevant. They establish "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". I fail to understand your stance on this article, and why deletion seems to be your default rather than working to improve it. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 02:11, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep a religious order founded in the 1860s that still exists and runs major institutions is obviously notable, even though the article needs a lot of improvement.IceFishing (talk) 02:06, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- The article is not wholly satisfactory in that it deals with mainly with the origins of the order, and then jumps at least 100 years to a brief allusion to the Internet. I agree that religious orders are generally notable. I would make an exception for those that are very small or short-lived, without at this point being sure where I would draw the line.

Delete a prototype helicopter crashes during testing, hardly noteworthy or that unusual and not notable for stand-alone article. Already covered sufficiently in Bell 525 Relentless. MilborneOne (talk) 21:15, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I specifically took the details of the crash out of Bell 525 Relentless; please review if the detail remaining is still adequate. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 21:17, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this one has WP:LASTING coverage. 2017, 2018 and 2019 so WP:NOTNEWS is not the guideline for this article. Also because it was a prototype the ramifications of the crash and it's causes are notable. Wm335td (talk) 21:18, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I also wanted to add the NTSB made a recommendation to require FDR/CVR for prototype aircraft arising from this crash, so it could be kept as a precedent-setting crash. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 21:32, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do. I find it notable. It passes our guidelines per my !vote. Wm335td (talk) 21:43, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It does appear this accident resulted in changes to the way prototype flight tests are conducted, with FDR/CVR becoming mandatory. Regarding effects on Bell Helicopter and the aviation industry, Vertical Magazine called its story on the NTSB findings (in 2018, two years after the crash) one of its top 10 biggest stories of 2018. Also, a deep-dive 2018 story by Rotor & Wing International notes that this was a crash during development of the first commercial helicopter with a fly-by-wire FCS, and ties that to the NTSB's found causes (this may be worth adding into the article). If kept, it may be worth renaming to Bell 525 Relentless prototype crash since it is unlikely to be the only accident ever of this type, but appears (at least for now) to be the only fatal accident of a prototype. Shelbystripes (talk) 22:01, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:GNG and has had a lasting effect on flight testing. I think that the assertion "it is only a prototype" is bogus, as most prototype crashes have some lasting effect, if only to "stop being stupid and never let that pile of P** fly ever again".--Petebutt (talk) 02:27, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Definitely meets WP:GNG, and has had a lasting effect on flight testing. The details are important, but section was overwhelming the type article, hence this was a valid reason to spilt the information off to its own article. - BilCat (talk) 20:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Concur that this is an important point. The crash and its repercussions were massively impactful on the type’s development, and if there was enough information to justify spinning off a separate article, obviously we shouldn’t then delete the separate article.

Keep: I don't think the fact that it was a test flight is relevant to the question of notability. XL Airways Germany Flight 888T is a good example of a test flight crash that was both newsworthy and important for flight safety. I concur with the other "Keep" voters.

Eugene Messler

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

Fails WP:GNG, as I cannot find any coverage online outside of an obituary republished in a couple newspapers. Fails WP:NGRIDIRON, having never played professionally, and WP:NCOLLATH. Coached a now-Division III football program for four games in 1894, and later coached a professionally football team four a few seasons before the creation of the NFL 23 years later.

Delete: I'm finding nothing available online except for the ref that's already in the article. Even if there are some additional vintage text sources that could be scoured for this guy, he doesn't appear to have done anything in his career that would establish his notability. Skeletor3000 (talk) 21:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article was in poor shape but has now been expanded. Messler played at the tackle position on Walter Camp's 1891-1893 Yale teams that won three consecutive national championships. These are the Camp teams that went a long way to inventing the modern game of American football. Messler was also the head coach of the 1894 Centre football team. He also later served as player-coach of one of the earliest professional football teams. Passes per WP:GNG with new sources added. In addition, WP:CFBCOACH notes that the College Football Wikiproject "considers all head coaches (past and present) of notable college football programs to be notable." While Centre Colonels football is now a lower-tier program, it was one of the truly notable programs in the early days of Southern football. Indeed, Messler's 1894 team competed at a high level with games against major Southern teams of the day, including a victory over Kentucky State (i.e. the University of Kentucky) and a close loss to Vanderbilt. Cbl62 (talk) 00:40, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Cbl62. Jweiss11 (talk) 00:47, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Cb162. Note, that point also fits WP:NOTTEMPORARY, as Cbl62 (talk · contribs) mentioned, Centre was a major college program pre-NCAA DI-A era. He also coached a notable pre-NFL professional team. If Ohio State drops to DIII and "is now DIII", that doesn't change past notability. Bhockey10 (talk) 02:32, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~ changed vote below Unfortunately, none of the refs in the article seem to show WP:GNG on their own with one exception. The first book is a family history written by someone with the same last name, so not independent. The Who's Who in American Sports sent everyone in that book a questionnaire, so even though it can help verify him, the information seems to have come from Messler himself. The Pittsburgh Dispatch is a clipping of a drawing of all of the players on the Yale squad. The next three are reference websites. The Encyclopedia of American Biography might be a good source, I can't tell how they verify the information. Finally, the last reference is an obituary. I'm no specifically voting !delete, but I did my own Newspapers.com search of "Eugene Messler Yale" and didn't find anything (he may have been on the rowing team which beat Harvard in 1893) but I'm hopeful another qualifying source or two can be found, especially since he was the president of an industrial company in Pittsburgh. But if that can't happen, I don't necessarily support keeping this. Furthermore, WP:CFBCOACH cannot overrule WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 03:37, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As reflected in WP:CFBCOACH, members of the College Football Wikiproject have endeavored over the past decade to create a full record of head coaches from notable college football programs. Given the coverage received, and significant role played by head coaches, this appears to be a reasonable judgment. Moreover, this judgment has been consistently respected in AfD discussions for the past decade as evidenced in the Head coach notability discussion library. Cbl62 (talk) 18:07, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying it's an unreasonable assumption, just that if an article fails WP:GNG it cannot be overruled by a local guideline. Messler, at the moment, does fail WP:GNG. He doesn't fail it miserably, considering the Pittsburgh obituary, but I've done several archival searches and this is the best thing I've found so far (apart from the fact he wrote a lot of letters to the Pittsburgh opinion section, which obviously don't count) and that's about rowing and only includes a drawing of him and his name in a list.. SportingFlyer T·C 22:42, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Coached at the major college (at the time) and pro levels of football. This article looks reasonably good considering the time period. I'm sure there are more sources in contemporary newspapers but it would be difficult to archive them. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 15:46, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What makes Centre College a "major college" program in 1894? It was in its fifth year of existence (fourth since coming back from a 10-year hiatus), and played in 13 total games before Messler coached four games. You could argue it became a major program about 20 years later, but notability is not inherited. WP:LOOKSGOOD is a poor argument as well. Eagles 24/7 (C) 16:06, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The question under WP:CFBCOACH is whether Centre was a "notable college football program". The 1894 Centre football team passes this test. Although Southern football was in its infancy in the 1890s, Centre was competing at a high level, playing the other major Southern teams of that time period, crushing Kentucky State (i.e. the University of Kentucky) by a 67–0 score and losing a close game to Vanderbilt (probably the most dominant team in early Southern football). Besides that, he passes WP:GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 17:39, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CFBCOACH concedes in its own text that many feel it is too lenient of a guideline, so while it may represent consensus within that project, it's certainly not a notability guideline that is backed by site-wide consensus. As Messler doesn't meet WP:NCOLLATH, I think WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO are the guidelines we're shooting for here, and the Who's Who source in the article is the solitary source I'm seeing that may meet either, if we consider it similar to the Dictionary of National Biography mentioned in WP:ANYBIO #3. Otherwise, it represents a solitary piece of independent, significant coverage about his football career. For me, the question revolves around the weight given to the Who's Who entry. Skeletor3000 (talk) 18:01, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Respectfully disagree. This, this, and this each represent significant coverage for purposes of GNG. These were pulled because they were particularly detailed with biographical detail, but other source are out there as well. Cbl62 (talk) 18:11, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the detailed piece in the Pittsburgh paper, the AP and UP both generated obits which were published in newspapers across the country. E.g., this. Cbl62 (talk) 20:06, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree he wouldn't meet WP:NCOLLATH as a player but as a coach of a major college program at the time he does meet the GNG as Cbl62 (talk · contribs) and several others have pointed out. Also, the original argument for deletion is flawed because he does meet notability per point 1 of WP:NGRIDIRON. "American football/Canadian football players and head coaches are presumed notable if they 1) Have appeared in at least one regular season or post-season game in any one of the following professional leagues: the Arena Football League, the Canadian Football League, the National Football League, the fourth American Football League, the All-America Football Conference, the United States Football League, or any other top-level professional league." The team and league he played/coached at the professional level in the pre-NFL era was a (the) top-level pro league of the turn of the century era and along with the argument made earlier that Centre College was a major collegiate team of in the late 1800s, notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY. If the KC Cheifs fold and Ohio State drops to D3, the current players and coaches of those teams wouldn't lose notability in Wikipedia 2120.--Bhockey10 (talk) 20:24, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

College football is not a professional sport, there is no reason to consider it a "top-level professional league". You could argue that the Duquesne Country and Athletic Club meets this criteria, but it was a member of the Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit, and that was a regional league and not a national league. Being a coach of a major college program itself does not automatically pass GNG or even NCOLLATH. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:44, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think you misread my point, College football is outside of the WP:NGRIDIRON. Being a major college HC, he does seem to satisfy that GNG as Cbl62 and others pointed out, among other side qualifies on that alone. But even if his college time is debatable, he meets WP:NGRIDIRON alone. In the late 1800s early 1900s all the football leagues were "regional" (even the early NFL development was regional). Footprint of teams is not a part of WP:NGRIDIRON, it relies on GNG and competitive level and the Western PA League was the top pro league of the time period. Even in its decline, teams from the league played exhibitions against the early NFL teams. The Duquesne Country and Athletic Club was the league's top team during his time with the team as a player and coach and cited in the Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit article, "the league's winner of the circuit was usually able to lay claim to a national, but professional, football title from 1890-1903.[3]"--Bhockey10 (talk) 20:59, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit article also states "The football clubs of the 1880s and 1890s were amateur teams" and I'm having a hard time finding evidence that Duquesne was fully professional when Messler coached the club. I agree with SportingFlyer that the references added to this article are not convincing enough yet that Messler passes GNG. Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:17, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That paragraph essentially describes the associations transition from amateur to semi-pro to pro. "Originally amateur, professionalism was introduced to the circuit in 1892;" Eugene Messler played for Duquesne 1895–1897 during the period the league's winners "the winner of the circuit was usually able to lay claim to a national, but professional, football title from 1890-1903.[3] One of the many citations in the article, from the Pro Football Hall of Fame considers pro to have initiated in 1892 Here. Also the Duquesne joined several seasons after the professionalism began and cited in it's article began "after four games...they began hiring stars and soon became the most professional team in the city.[3]" By all accounts, as cited in it's articles, The team was a professional team and the Western PA league was the top pro league of that time. Both fully qualify per the WP:NGRIDIRON and per WP:NOTTEMPORARY. --Bhockey10 (talk) 22:06, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Professionalism may have initiated in 1892, but that only means at least one player on the team was being paid. In the Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit article, it says that the 1896 Allegheny Athletic Association team was the "first fully professional football team". There is also a claim in History of American football that "In 1897, the Latrobe Athletic Association paid all of its players for the whole season, becoming the first fully professional football team." When did Duquesne become fully professional? Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:25, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not a team’s roster is 100% paid is not a qualification per WP:NGRIDIRON. Only that the individual played and/or coached in the notable leagues listed and/or "top pro league" of an era. I think you’re looking at this from a 2020s perspective but in the 1890s and early 1900s, pro sports were brand new. If any major pro sports team (MLB, NFL, NHL) was organized today like they were in the 1800s/early 1900s, by today’s standards almost all would be considered semi-pro. Even into the mid-1900s, many of the major pro league's athletes had other off-season jobs- Today that would be equal to a semi-pro standard.Bhockey10 (talk) 23:55, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Arguing over SNG is irrelevant considering he does not yet meet WP:GNG (per the source analysis above.) As someone skeptical of obituaries as notability-qualifying sources, I still think we're probably two sources away at the moment. SportingFlyer T·C 02:28, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is absolutely no valid basis for discounting an editorially-independent obituary with in-depth coverage of a person's life. Death notices should be discounted but not this. Cbl62 (talk) 08:14, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone dies; his death was reported at length in Pittsburgh (his hometown) and in Dayton, Ohio, and there was a one-sentence blurb in Tampa. Whether obits are okay for notability has been a matter of debate in the past, but what is clear is that people who get long-form obits probably are notable for reasons other than dying. That's why I haven't gone all-out delete, but I'm surprised there's not more on him, especially his coaching career (only a brief blurb in the Kentucky paper.) SportingFlyer T·C 09:13, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It appears we have been focusing too much on his football career when he is probably more notable as a steel company manager and soldier. I'm surprised that I can't find much on his coaching the Duquesne Athletic Club, but that's probably because it was more of a side hustle while he worked at Carnegie Steel. He appears to have had some prominence in the industry and became friends with the most famous general during WWI. I have added several sources so his notability should not be in doubt.

The result was delete. There is consensus that the subject does not meet NPOL's requirements by his current position(s), along with coverage being primarily local. While a more general consideration of the body's standing (more specifically, that of its members) per NPOL could be had, there is firm consensus that CoR doesn't meet the current requirements and so shouldn't be retained pending that time. While a redirect was mooted, that consideration was significantly outweighed by the straight deletes. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable local politician. Google search shows no notability and basically unknown outside of his own county. The subject does not meet the notability criteria for politicians (WP:NPOL), in that local councillors in Ireland do not meet the expectations of an international or national office. The subject also doesn't meet the general notability criteria for people (WP:NBIO). He is the only member of Waterford City and County Council (32 members) to have an article. He is a member of various boards/agencies/committees that being a member of a political party (Sinn Féin) and a member of a county council normally entail, but nothing of national importance. Contested Prod with argument: "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage". The only press coverage is from local (Waterford based) based and does not meet WP:SIGCOV. Also, created by a single purpose account. Spleodrach (talk) 20:50, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per nom and Missvain. In terms of WP:NPOL, the criteria is not met (seats on local councils in Ireland do not meet the expectations of an "international, national, or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office"). In terms of WP:GNG, the criteria is not met. (A search of the Irish "newspapers of record", namely the Irish Times and Irish Independent, returns only a scant few "passing mentions" of the type we might expect for any campaigning local politician. There are two trivial mentions for example in the Irish Times that I can find by tweaking search criteria. A Google News search returns slightly more local news coverage. But none of the coverage is about the subject directly, and there is not enough of it to meet WP:SIGCOV.) Doesn't meet any applicable criteria. Delete.

Weak delete - Waterford is not that large a city, but is regionally important. So an argument could be made for inclusion, but I can see both sides.

keep - the article cites several reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. I can find no mention in any guidelines that sources should not be local or regional press. The guidelines clearly state that coverage does not need to be about the subject directly, but needs to be more than a passing mention. That said several of the references refer directly to the subject. There are several extant articles on Irish City and County councillors.

Delete The subject is doing a lot of regional and international work, especially as a member of the European Committee of the Regions. However, it does not appear that the subject has the national or international coverage necessary to meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. In this body, though, there are 350 members with no direct decision-making ability. --Enos733 (talk) 05:20, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Per Spleodrach contention that subject does not meet notability criteria for politicians please note that the article has since been edited to include information regarding subject's membership of the European Committee of the Regions and Southern Regional Assembly. WP:NPOL presumes the following to be notable: 'Politicians [...] who have held international, national or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office or have been members of legislative bodies a those levels'.

WP:NPOL additionally presumes notability for 'Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage'.

It does not suggest that such press coverage cannot be local or regional. That said, there is significant press coverage both national, regional and local. Here is a non-exhaustive list of some non-Waterford national and regional, and Waterford local press coverage.

National RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta (National radio station) ^[1] Council Journal (National journal of the local government sector) ^[2] Tuairisc.ie (national Irish-language news site( ^[3]^[4]^[5] Irish Examiner (National daily newspaper)^[6] Irish Times (National daily newspaper) ^[7] Irish Independent (National daily newspaper) ^[8] RTÉ (National broadcaster news website) ^[9]

Regional The Munster Express (regional newspaper covering the South East) ^[10], ^[11], ^[12], ^[13], ^[14], ^[15] and ^[16] Cork Beo (Cork-based online news outlet) ^[17] The subject is one of only a few Sinn Féin councillors to have their statements published on the party's national website. e.g. ^[18] and ^[19]

Local Waterford Today (Weekly newspaper and news website) ^[20] and ^[21] Waterford Live (News website) c. 45 articles ^[22] WLRfm (Local radio station and news website^[23]), ^[24], ^[25], ^[26], ^[27], ^[28] and ^[29] Waterford Now ^[30], ^[31], ^[32] and ^[33] Waterford News and Star (Weekly newspaper) ^[34], ^[35], ^[36], ^[37], ^[38], ^[39], ^[40], ^[41], ^[42]

Contrary to User:Guliolopez\Guiliolopez's contention above that 'none of the coverage is about the subject directly, there is a significant amount of local coverage directly about the subject to be found in multiple published, secondary sources that are reliable, independent of each other and independent of the subject as per WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. This list above is non-exhaustive and the result of simple google searches.

I disagree with User:John Pack Lambert's assertion that the coverage listed above is 'not enough coverage to show notability'. How much is enough? How many direct references to a subject's political activities in independent, reliable, secondary sources are required to determine notability?

Its worth noting that many Irish councillors are the subjects of Wikipedia articles. Here is a non-exhaustive list. I have not included councillors whose noteriety is paritally derived from other activities (eg. artists, former pop stars, former TDs, former sportspersons etc.) Ciaran Brogan, Cormac Devlin, Roderic O'Gorman, Cian O'Callaghan, Peter Kavanagh, Charlie O'Connor, Terry Shannon (politician), Holly Cairns, Pádraig O'Sullivan, Declan McDonnell, Michael Crowe (politician), Donal Lyons, Vincent Jackson (politician), Paul McAuliffe, Gary Gannon, Micheál MacDonncha, Mary Freehill, Nial Ring, Hazel Chu and Naoise Ó Muirí.

Notability is clearly established by the recent update which adds information relating to the subjects regional and European mandate as per WP:NPOL. The 'significant coverage' test through the many direct, reliable, independent references cited above as per WP:BASIC and WP:GNG.

Perhaps a wider discussion on the treatment of biographical articles for local political figures in Ireland is warranted, however to move to delete this article prior to such a discussion, given the prevalence of mixed-quality biographical articles for other Irish local political figures, would be an error, and inconsistent with the guidelines cited in this discussion.

Comment - Personally I had no intention of responding to that level of WP:BLUDGEONing. However, given the re-listing, I would simply note that the author's inclusion of links to several dozen news articles (in which the subject is simply mentioned in passing, and for none of which is the subject the primary topic), does nothing to address the WP:GNG concern. And the author's inclusion of links to several dozen other articles (in which the subjects are either ex-TDs, or Mayors, or party chairpersons, or otherwise not "equivalent" to the subject here), does nothing to address the WP:NPOL concern. Rather, all it does is suggest that the author hasn't read WP:SIGCOV or WP:OSE. And is otherwise more invested in interests which are external to this project than to reading/understanding/upholding Wikipedia's goals. Guliolopez (talk) 22:11, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The sources listed by WestWaterfordBrigade are nearly all local, from Waterford or Cork. There is no evidence of national prominence, and as has been pointed out by Guliolopez, national newspaper searches only return passing mentions.

I had not heard of European Committee of the Regions before. It is a body of 350 members comprising local/regional politicians from all EU member states, 9 of which are from Ireland. Given the size of the body, and its a talking shop without any real powers, I'd argue that membership does not confer notability.

As for the list of other councillors who have articles, this is just WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Also, most of those listed are former Mayors/Lord Mayors of Cork/Galway/Dublin which on wikipedia gives them notability. Some like Hazel Chu (first Irish born chinese person elected), Cian O'Callaghan (first openly gay mayor), have other reason for notability. Admittedly some don't like Holly Cairns, who looks like a candidate for AFD. Roderic O'Gorman was nominated for deletion in 2010 by me! The article was deleted but then re-created a few years ago. I won't re-nominate just yet, as there is a good chance that Rodders will be a TD by Sunday evening!

Is there a WP:COI here? How does WestWaterfordBrigade know the full date of birth of Conor McGuinness? This information is not on the internet. Does WestWaterfordBrigade have a connection with the subject? As I already pointed out that WestWaterfordBrigade is a WP:SPA. Spleodrach (talk) 22:15, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Having reviewed the wall of sources above he's only really locally notable, using my test that he receives coverage above and beyond what would be expected of any local councillor, which he does not in my opinion.

comment~~keep~~ with respect Spleodrach your not having heard of the CoR says more about your lack of knowledge of this area than about the notability of the subject of this article. Membership of the CoR in itself satisfies the criteria for notability laid down in black and white in WP:NPOL - "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or sub-national (e.g., province- or state-wide) office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels." This could not be clearer. Your (by your own admissions illinformed) opinion on the CoR is irrelevant here. The criteria here is met and deminstrated. His DOB is available on his public social media accounts. Given we're asking WP:COI questions here..

Do you betray a conflict of interest with your apparent familiarity with 'Rodders'? Does that explain the double standard at play WestWaterfordBrigade (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:25, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Hiya WestWaterfordBrigade. A couple of quick things. Procedurally first. Once you have made your initial "keep" or "delete" recommendation, please consider marking further contributions as simply "comment" or "reply". Marking each note in a thread as "keep" is not in keeping with procedure. Now, to the main point seemingly raised, that being a member of the CoR automatically meets NPOL and confers notability, I would note simply that:

The CoR is not an elected legislative body. It doesn't draft, make, pass, or enact legislation. It is not a legislative body. Nor do its members hold an "office" (elected or otherwise) as expected by NPOL generally. (It is, as per its own terms, a "forum for local leaders to discuss common obstacles" to legislation which has been drafted or proposed by the legislative arms of the EU/EC. Namely the European Commission, Council of the EU or European Parliament.
Even, frankly, if the CoR were an elected or legislative body (rather than a discussion forum), the subject here is not a (full) member of that forum. The subject is an alternate member. A person who, with every respect, attends the forum if the full members are unable to do so.

I am delighted that the subject has been chosen to contribute to the forum. More power to him and the 658 other local politicians (329 members and 329 alternates) who also do so. But it is a significant stretch to suggest that one or all automatically meet NPOL by virtue of being full (or alternate) members of a discussion forum. EU-wide or otherwise.

Anyway, I'm going to step away now. As I've already broken the "don't respond to bludgeoning" rule I set myself/personally a while ago.... Guliolopez (talk) 00:35, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Please refrain from personal attacks, my opinion is as valid as yours. Just stick to the fact, and the facts are as Guliolopez has said on the CoR, membership does meet notability guideline as it is not a legislative body. The criteria is not demonstrated and definitely not met. As my "Rodders" comment, it was a humorous aside, jokes are allowed on wikipedia but often do not travel well. I have never met the individual but I do note that my prediction that he would be elected as a TD was correct! Also, that is 3 times WestWaterfordBrigade has !voted now, you should read the Wikipedia deletion guidelines. Spleodrach (talk) 08:09, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Here's a press release from the Chinese embassy in Thailand describing the ambassador paying him a visit.[6] The ambassador thanked him for his over thirty years of work contributing to China–Thailand relations, and called him a founder, promoter and witness to the friendship between the two countries. He certainly does not seem like an insignificant figure according to this description, though I'm having trouble identifying online sources that corroborate it. There's also a sentence in the statement that suggests that it may be confusing him with his predecessor, who served ten terms as the Chamber of Commerce president.

Oldest Belgian families

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

We don't have any similar article (list...?) for another country. Setting aside that more than half of the entries here are not referenced, I don't see how this topic passes GNG or LISTN. Some families are notable, but listing them by oldest recorded date seems trivial, just like Foo families by region or so on would be.

Keep As mentioned in the article, most entries do not have a source because they all come from the same book, which itself is very well sourced. They are also published on the website of the Genealogical and Heraldic Office of Belgium. The ones not included in either of those places are all sourced independently. I believe that this list being included in a book of national importance as well as on the website of a renowned institution in Belgium is enough to pas the General notability guideline. I am not sure what LISTN is so cannot comment on that. I am all for creating such lists for other countries if reliable sources back them. --Brookford (talk) 13:56, 21 January 2020 (UTC) EDIT: I would understand that the format of this article would need to be re-organised, I simply took the same format as the French article, which may not be appropriate for the English Wikipedia. Also maybe the title needs to be changed to: "Chronological list of Belgian families"--Brookford (talk) 14:59, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, extremely incomplete and subjective list. First entry, "de belgique", leads to the article Monarchy of Belgium, with a family who only entered what is now Belgium in 1831, they come from Germany before this. Second entry; House of Limburg-Stirum, " which adopted its name in the 12th century from the sovereign county of Limburg an der Lenne in what is now Germany" They entered "Belgium" in 1068? No idea where that comes from, House of Limburg-Stirum doesn't mention that year. Third entry, House of Arenberg? "who took their name from Arenberg, a small territory of the Holy Roman Empire in the Eifel region", again Germany. On the other hand, there are 1000s of families who can trace their roots back to the 18th century, most genealogies which are created go back at least as far and show some members of the family to be in present-day Belgium in the 1700s. And that's even only taking into account the rather outdated idea of a "family" being father-to-son only, e.g. there are many descendants of Peter Paul Rubens alive today, but all through female lines, so no "real" Rubens is alive and they are missing from this list. Even when people and families are well-known and old, they are missing, e.g. Moretus has living direct male descendants. Of course, they are not nobility, unlike most or all of this list, which seems to be maintained by a rather snobbish group (not the editors here, the Genealogical and Heraldic Office of Belgium). Fram (talk) 14:19, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose it is incomplete and subjective in that it only lists entries that can be sourced... Regarding your point on some of these families not having Belgian origins, first of all Belgium didn't exist until 1830, and second of all, the article states that it includes families that were Belgian during the 20th century, I will admit that it should be extended to the 21st century too. Yes it is true that many families can trace their ancestry to the 18th century, but in this case, as in all Wikipedia, it needs to be properly sourced by secondary sources. Regarding the concept of a family, that is certainly a debate to be had but until then I believe that the notion that has been used in most of the world for most of recorded history should be used. --Brookford (talk) 14:28, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, are you saying that families can't be Belgian if they only entered Belgium a year after its creation? Which brings another question, are you saying immigrants and their descendants cannot be of the nationality of their host country?--Brookford (talk) 14:33, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Moretus family whose ommition you claim to be because of snobbery from the Genealogical and Heraldic Office of Belgium, you will be happy to know that it is listed in the book and on the website under the date 1539... --Brookford (talk) 14:51, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm saying that "oldest Belgian families" is rather meaningless if you include any family which lives now in Belgium, but didn't live here at the time stated in the article. The absence of e.g. any of the oldest Antwerp Jewish families, which often have published genealogies going back many centuries, is remarkable as well. And thanks for adding Moretus, but the 1539 date is wrong, as that is the year the eldest child (brother of Jan Moretus) was born, but we have the marriage contract of his father, dated to 1537. This is easily findable, so if whoever wrote that book doesn't even know this, then the reliability of that source is dubious[8]. Fram (talk) 15:26, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is your opinion but I do not think it is meaningless. You are more than welcome to contribute to this list with reliable sources. I do not know if the families you speak of are included in the book or website. You can check yourself here. The fact that "whoever wrote that book doesn't even know" that a specific family has another documented proof 2 years earlier does not make this source dubious. I am not familiar with this specific case but maybe there is no link between the marriage certificate and the rest of the family. Thus it may not be definitively proven that the family alive today is linked to that certificate. Even if it can this isn't making the case against the existence of this article. --Brookford (talk) 18:37, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the marriage certificate is for the father of Jan Moretus, and is kept at the Plantin-Moretus archives, so it seems well proven... But let's look at another example from the list. "1639: Goethals". What an utterly meaningless entry. There is also a "1550: Goethals de Mude de Nieuwland". Now, one can easily dispute the oldest entries in this book on that family[9], but the Biographical Index of the Benelux at least agrees with entries dating to 1217 for the Goethals Mude family[10]. Basically, the list is a minor subset of families, heavily slanted towards nobility, and is obviously incorrect. Fram (talk) 08:24, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't think Houtart suggests a relationship with the old Goethals de Mude family, on the contrary: the current Goethals family of which ancestors never were lords of Mude and Nieuwland and their addition to their family name in 1967 to Goethals de Mude de Nieuwland is based on the arms of the old family, not on a relationship, according to Houtart, so more an usurpation of arms and family name. Houtart dates the current family back not later than 1550, and so I am not sure that you are right in your assumptions. Paul Brussel (talk) 23:12, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My point is that entries like "1639 : Goethals" are utterly useless and meaningless. There are many "Goethals" families in Belgium, and one of them, according to one source, can be traced back to 1639, perhaps, if that source is right. For another family, "Goethals de Mude", this source claims 1550, other (also reliable) sources go back a lot further. The page up for deletion is presenting one source, which is contradicted by others, as if it is "the truth", and presents the information (by necessity) in a format which gives the readers no context, no background, to judge even what is being discussed here (Goethals? Is that the family of Christian Goethals, Henry Goethals (born ca. 1217!), Lucien Goethals, Raymond Goethals, ...? Presumably it is the "noble" family from Kortijk (because, let's face it, you can't be an old Belgian family without being nobility of course), which dates apparently to 1638, not 1639[11]? Looking at e.g; 1383: Della Faille, I can't find any sources confirming this date, and the very exhaustive published genealogy of the family finds no one before ca. 1400, and no definite dates before 1448 apparently[12] Entry 1587: van den Berg, is another example of a completely random name / date combination, not giving any useful information to readers. Fram (talk) 08:29, 4 March 2020 (UTC))[reply]

Comment -- We cannot retain the article under this name. Every family is in fact old. When the 14th Earl of Home renounced his peerage to become British Prime Minister the quip was made that his opponent was the 14th Mr Wilson, though nobody would have traced who the first was or how many generations had had the surname. What is involved here is families with the longest traceable genealogy. Basically this is families recorded in a certain genealogical dictionary, I am not sure that is an adequate basis for a WP article. I recall a discussion many years ago about a British book listing the greatest landowners in Britain in about 1870, a book which when published was a pioneering piece of research; we deleted it. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:57, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Brookford (talk) 14:42, 22 January 2020 (UTC) EDIT:You said that "this is families recorded in a certain genealogical dictionary", but that was only the start of the article, but quite a few entries do not come from that book and all genealogical books and studies are welcomed additions to the list. --Brookford (talk) 18:40, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect, it is mainly based on a secondary source, which itself uses primary sources.Brookford (talk) 02:31, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Taking information and slapping it into a new format does not convert sourcing from primary to secondary. A secondary source is characterized by editorial and authorial activity such as transformation, commenting, evaluation, synthesis, analysis, or other such activities, none of which are evident in the source given here. In context, this is still a primary source. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 03:09, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of what makes a source secondary. This book didn't just take information and "slap" it into a new format. It was an extensive research project with a lot of source analysis involved. As my discussion above showed, it is not just taking the earliest mention of a family, the links between all these records have been extensively researched, analysed and assessed. It is also very conservative in its process. What evidence do you have to say that it doesn't meet all the criteria you listed? --Brookford (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm usually a fan of such articles but I cannot see how the sources support it. A lot of the references are just explanations, but if you actually look at the others, they all come from the Genealogical and Heraldic Office of Belgium, which has a very specialized interest in this area. Other sources are self-published genealogy websites. Lists of political families or noble families make sense, a list of families with no social distinction doesn't make sense. This is essentially a list of people we have records of. —Мандичка^YO 😜 02:58, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Given that the list is sourced to two published books, I don't see that there is any valid policy based reasoning for deletion. Calling these sources primary sources is a bit of stretch as we generally trust government generated content. 4meter4 (talk) 00:11, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @DGG and 4meter4:, what 2 books? The Houtart book is the same as the list on the website of the Genealogical and Heraldic Office of Belgium, and I don't see which other book you are referring to. Fram (talk) 08:11, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I hope I won't be accused of bludgeoning for this, but maybe 4meter4 was referring to Félix-Victor Goethals's book: Miroir des notabilités nobiliaires de Belgique as well as publications by the scgd and the anrb which are all in the bibliography. (I know two of those are nobility-related which you won't like) Btw your comment on DGG's post is a challenge to a source not to the validity of the article itself. --Brookford (talk) 11:33, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DGGs comment was about the reliability of the book(s), so my reply was indeed a challenge to the source as well. Obviously, if your main source is not reliable, then the article may have issues as well (since the article is not about that source, but a summary of that source). I don't think using a mid-19th century book for a list like this is a good idea, the validity of such sources is by now very dubious (both wrt exaggerated claims, and with very incomplete research). And that book doesn't really concern itself with a chronological list of oldest Belgian families, it just gives an akphabetical list of noble families (with lots of information). Fram (talk) 12:20, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Houtart (2008) is in Belgium generally considered to be a notable and reliable source (but of course for some of the hundreds of families it may include mistakes). He is complemented by a series of articles by the notable genealogist Hervé Douxchamps, 'Les quarante famille belges les plus anciennes subsistantes', in: Le Parchemin, lastly in number 444 (Novembre-Décembre 2019). However, some family entries were not based on those but on outdated sources like Goethals and some of them I have corrected today. Also, Houtart doesn't list extinct families. Paul Brussel (talk) 16:24, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have serious concerns about this nomination. WP:NPP is a failed proposal. nom. has removed sources and content from the article before nomination ... while there is nothing that prevents this, it means that what has been removed may not be subject to full scrutiny. The AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SQR Ilyas while in a minimal discussion suggested this seems to be a fringe party and the party's president claim to notability rested with the party; of which there were three sources in that article. The nom. has done a very much WP:VAGUEWAVE nomination and I perhaps would suggest WP:BEFORE is re-checked as the party does seem to have sustained over eight years or so. I confess to ignorance of India's governance so I cannot determine what elected seats this party holds or at what level and if it is reasonably sufficient for notability.

Adding notability tags and immediately sending to WP:AFD is an issue. The fact the nomination on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SQR Ilyas was for Non notable Islamist politician rather than simply Non notable politician leads to me concerns, probably unfounded, that you may be a biased nominator. All said however as far as I can make out this party did not and has never gained elected seats in the Rajya Sabha or Lok Sabha.

Keep Vem Miller is referenced in MANY in-depth ventures as seen below:

Executive producer in Television is a key creative title. He is also listed as creator of many of these shows. He's been nominated for directing MTV VMAs, BET awards, Source Magazine awards, etc.

Also, the issue is that as a music video director, he went under the name “Vem”, and then added his last name when creating and producing TV shows. Thats the confusion. He’s directed over 100 music videos.

All the prior Wikipedia links mention him by first name to have directed videos.

He is listed as the creator of Car Lot Rescue:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Lot_Rescue

He is also listed here under director for DMX “Where the hood at”:

https://www.discogs.com/DMX-Where-The-Hood-At/release/3472733

He is listed here as the director of the John Mayer Say music video - mentioned as Vem:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Say_(song)

His IMDB shows him as the showrunner and director to multiple TV shows, music videos, and commercials:

https://m.imdb.com/name/nm4290084/filmotype/producer

In this article he is listed as a key “creative and development” producer with a production company:

https://realscreen.com/2016/04/18/nancy-glass-productions-rebrands-teams-with-sweatshop/

Here he is listed as a music video director for a classic music video:

Here is another mention of his name:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_the_Girl

This video actually has his name on there as director:

Here is another mention for directing this video:

Delete Looking through the list of sources provided by Mframe007 above, I'm seeing nothing independent that gives the subject significant coverage. Indeed, without wanting to pour scorn on Mframe, their act of adding a bunch of links to Wikipedia pages seems to suggest a lack of understanding of our notability criteria - WP:UGC explicitly states that user-generated content sites (such as Wikipedia or IMBD) cannot be considered as RS, and therefore they cannot be considered when weighing notability. They seem also to be unaware that notability is not inherited - being photographed with notable people does not make one notable. Florence Hansen's keep vote also misses the mark - the existence of links to reliable sources like the NYT does not mean the article should be kept. Neither source gives the subject significant coverage - therefore, they are irrelevant in this discussion. (I'm sorry to be singling out the individuals for criticism in this vote - I don't want to single you out for specific criticism, but I thought it best to be specific about which argument I was referring to when commenting, and didn't want to do that without pinging you.)

Keep - Pearl Aviation may only have 3 aircraft now, but it has some coverage over its history, and notability is not temporary. Pearl Aviation is a subsidiary of the Paspaley company, previously held contracts in the Northern Territory and New South Wales to operate air ambulance services (known as Royal Flying Doctor Service in NSW), and still holds a contract with Airservices Australia as part of a joint venture to survey their aircraft navigation systems across Australia. There appears to have been some coverage of Pearl back in and around 2010 when the NT Government put the air ambulance services out to tender and Pearl lost the contract because of its ageing aircraft and concerns with the company. See articles more generally here by way of example: report on donations to the Liberal Party by Paspaley at the time the contract was tendered, mention of the company in a history of air ambulance services in Australia, radio report on safety concerns raised by Pearl, more on runway safety, ABC article on the cancellation of the contract with Pearl, on the tender process, a mention here on the tender process, coroner report article about a death caused by a delay on a Pearl flight, on its Airservices Australia inspection services, article in 2016 about it downsizing, another one from 2016. I haven't done any searching of its potential history relating to Skywest either - which might have even more coverage. At worst, if the consensus is that there shouldn't be a standalone article, the content (which is sourced - though could be improved by the above) should be merged to the main Paspaley article as part of their operations. Bookscale (talk) 09:34, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The size of an organistion does not by itself indicate for or against notability. It seems to have more than three aircraft now.

There are also these to consider:

There may be quite sufficient to demonstrate notability. Aoziwe (talk) 10:13, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Response As per WP:GHITS, posting links to show that there are "lots of sources" is no indication of notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:10, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Confused There is also Virgin Australia Regional Airlines which seems to be sharing some of the same history as Pearl Aviation. Indeed the link for Skywest Aviation via Skywest Airlines (Australia) in the first sentence of the Pearl Aviation#History redirects to Virgin Australia Regional Airlines. I cannot make head nor tail of these two articles and how they are related or not. There needs to be a thorough review and partial rewrite of both perhaps to properly sort out the relationship or not. Perhaps we should be looking at a merge of both articles? Aoziwe (talk) 10:13, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - it seems the company that originally ran Pearl Aviation split into two - one took the passenger services (and became Skywest, now Virgin Regional); the other took the other services (e.g. RDFS, navigation system checking services, etc.) and is what is now known as "Pearl Aviation". Having compared the Virgin article and the Pearl one, there seems very little overlap. A bit of a tidy up of the first few sentences in the history section should adequately do the trick. I wouldn't support merging as it would confuse the Virgin article given it is now the subset of a very different company! Bookscale (talk) 11:49, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge With the Paspaley Company article. Which doesn't even seem to mention it, because it doesn't seem to have notability on its own otherwise. Since all the citations seem to be to the Paspaley companies site or a government one. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Adamant1: - what about all the other sources I and Aoziwe have found? Have you read the other comments so far? Bookscale (talk) 10:35, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, With Aoziwe's nla.gov source it seems you need a library account or something somewhere to view any of the articles it lists. So I can't really speak to those. Except that most of the sources seem to be from either Australasian Business Intelligence or Australian Nursing Journal. Both of which seem to have questionable notability. A nursing journal probably isn't reliable because it isn't really related to the industry. Just nurses that happen to fly in planes. So its not authoritative in relation to the subject. Other listed sources seem to be regional, like the North Queensland Register. Regional news outlets aren't good sources from my understanding. With your articles, the first one wouldn't load. The second isn't about the company. There's only a quick mention of it and there isn't real details. The third link says "page not found." So that's a nope. The forth is about The Australian Nursing Federation and not the company. Which is only mentioned twice briefly in the first two sentences. A random death on a plane doesn't seem notable even if there is an article about it. It's borderline sensationalism anyone and doesn't meet neutrality because according to the article "the poor service may have contributed to the death", not clearly caused it. The downsizing articles don't seem important either. Especially not on their own. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:01, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Here is the third source. I don't agree with your assessment that just because you can't find a source it is worthless. And to suggest a Nursing Journal is not a reliable source about a company that carries out medical aviation services is ridiculous. Bookscale (talk) 09:09, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'm not sure what exactly your referencing, but I'll assume its not being able to access the articles in the .gov list. if you can't find or access a source its worthless because you can't add the relevant content from it to the article. You can't just cite a source devoid of qouting it either. Even if the source is about the subject. Both those things are pretty obvious. As far as the nursing journal goes, it doesn't matter if they carry out medical aviation services, it matters if they discuss the company in a substantial way and in the article you cited they didn't. Sorry, but Wikipedia articles aren't bibliographies of every document that might have mentioned a subject in passing. So, I don't really care about nursing journal articles (or any other source) that I can't access, read, or use to add content to an article. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:02, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        But it's a demonstration that there are sources available - which is adequate for an AfD. Seriously, I really feel like giving up participating in these sometimes, you do all the research to demonstrate notability and yet come across editors who just can't be bothered and nothing is ever good enough. Bookscale (talk) 11:43, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bookscale: Your making it all about you and missing an extremely important point here because of it. One of the options in an AfD is to merge an article if the topic has enough coverage make it a notable subject for Wikipedia but not enough to warrant its own article. Ultimately its about improving the quality of Wikipedia. Not just confirming your opinion about a topic or keep an article when its un-warranted because "I put work into it." So, its about making A determination of notability, not THE determination of notability that I want. If it is merged that doesn't mean your work isn't for nothing. As the citations would still be used. I can understand your frustration though. Its pretty frustrating to take the time to review the sources someone provides just to mongered as a sexist like Aoziwe did to me below. We just have different opinions and that's fine. Don't let it discourage you though. We are all on the same side here. Also, read my quote below from the notability guidelines on having sources and that meaning the topic automatically warrants its own article. Hint, it does't and I don't think the sources do in this case. Again though, that's just my opinion. Your free to disagree. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:43, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are demonstrably sources available, and in reliable publications. Just because they are not on line does not mean that they are of no value. Discounting publications with Just nurses that happen to fly in planes I suggest is either blatant sexist bias or gender neutral profession snobbery. Sometimes one needs to actually physically go to a library and read stuff. The sources are sustained and broad. There is quite sufficient WP:NEXIST to support WP:GNG. The histories of the two subjects need a rewrite to properly explain such, but AfD is not about CLEANUP. Aoziwe (talk) 12:48, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoziwe: Per WP:NEXIST which you yourself cited "We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list." So its not just purely about the raw numbers of sources. I said multiple times my main issue was with the lack of enough coverage about the company in the nurses journal. It didn't have anything to do with the profession, let alone the sex of the people in it. If the article was about the topic of medical aviation fine. I would care less since that would mean there would be enough specific details about the actual topic of the article. Which is a company not a profession. As it is though, that's not the case. Your free to disagree, but I did take the time to read through your and Bookscales sources when I could have been doing other things to make an informed opinion. Discounting it as sexist when I was extremely clear about why I made the conclusion that the article should be merged for reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with gender, I didn't even mention it, is pretty disgusting. It's also actually sexist IMO to automatically equate nursing with gender. Let alone to use the sexism card if it comes up when sex had literally nothing to do with the topic. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:43, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we are free to agree to disagree. Aoziwe (talk) 23:46, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah totally. Making baseless claims of sexism, not so much. So hopefully you don't do it again. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:05, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion opposed. Such kinds of articles exist for many other teams, even for at least one example of a reserve team. Examples below:

One alternative to deletion would be to do a merge. If you’ll notice in some of my examples, a list of seasons and records/statistics tend to be separate. This HFX article was written with those two topics merged into one to make it more substantial, especially in light of there only being one season of information displayed.

Another alternative is to re-title the article to be more in line with other functionally similar articles such as the ones provided as examples. However, this would make the title rather unwieldy, which is why “chronicle” was used as an alternative.Lucky Strike (talk) 16:53, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- The old WP:OSE argument. I am fully aware that other such articles exist, but as I stated in the nomination, those are multiple-season articles.

Redirect to Dormammu. I'm not finding much coverage at all in reliable sources regarding them. They are covered in plenty of non-reliable sources (wikis, fansites, etc), are mentioned briefly in some plot summaries, and are mentioned in relation to Dormamu (i.e. "Dormamu uses his servants, the Mindless ones" kind of sentences). Pretty much the only coverage I'm finding that don't fall into those categories are a couple reports from last year where an artist revealed some unused concept art for the Dr. Strange movie on his twitter, which is hardly enough to support an independent article.

I think that these three sources, [27], [28], [29] go a fair way towards establishing notability, but I think that there still may be a case to make for WP:NOPAGE that this information is best merged to Dormammu.

It's ultimately much of nothing. 1. Basic in-universe summary. 2. What seems to be some little indie band, album itself has 10 results on Google including that article. 3. Trivial movie speculation relating directly to Dormammu. 4. More speculation, but even less attention. 5. Just a single plot name mention, not even a sentence. 6. Plot summary only. 7. More speculation. 8 & 9. Extremely narrow listicles in which they are guaranteed to appear because there's only so many major villains to even list. There is nothing from which to even write an article. TTN (talk) 20:56, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Jesus Christ, TTN, are you seriously still at it with these disruptive nomination spammings? This is yet another one that passes WP:GNG that you clearly did no research on. I figured you had slowed down since last December, but it looks like you are still going at it.

For those unaware, TTN's modus operandi is to go through as many fictional character articles as he can at once, scroll down to the References sections, and mindlessly nominate as many Start-Class articles as he can based only on that. As we have been over, this is highly disruptive and violates virtually every policy, essay, and guideline. Your behaviour has also been opposed by multiple users (at least as many that support you) and you have been warned repeatedly to cut it out and open a discussion at WP:DRN, per the processes outlined at WP:Dispute Resolution, WP:Consensus, and WP:BRD. Your philosophy seen here and here also borders on WP:NOTHERE, and you have been banned in the past for similar behaviours by the Arbitration Committee. You really are going to make us take this to ANI or ArbCom, aren't you?

You do not have a consensus and at least a few of your nominations (including Goblin (Marvel Comics)) are going to have to be completely re-discussed due to erroneous rationales. You and Eagles247 attempting to strawman everyone that has called out the (very demonstrable) problems with the way you handle nominations as "radical inclusionists", not to mention ranting about imaginary conspiracies, isn't doing you any favours either. Dark Knight 2149 06:24, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It’s called having different standards. This same AfD could easily be the reverse depending on who decided to take the time to participate. That’s the only particular deciding factor here. You and some others here think it passes GNG (and one literally doesn’t care whatsoever if it passes any policy or guideline) with these poor sources. Other people would not. If you are going to make a report, make it. Do not threaten it. Do not linger around for the next two weeks. Take whatever draft you have from last time, edit it, and post it. This will be my only response to you. TTN (talk) 09:30, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No clue why I'm randomly attacked here. Did you ever file your long-awaited ANI report Darkknight2149? Stop hijacking discussions to get in your personal vendetta, or I'll go to ANI myself about this persistent disruption. Eagles 24/7 (C) 13:32, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Eagles247: There's no "personal vendetta", as I will soon outline at the ANI thread. You just unintentionally shed light on the genuine disruption happening at AfD. I was also the one who has been attacked by TTN throughout these threads, and seeing how you have reacted here and at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#Deletion_of_articles_about_fiction is astounding coming from an administrator. If anything, the thread will likely result in the WP:DRN thread that you and TTN have been intentionally trying to avoid. I will be going over both you and TTN at WP:ANI.

Keep or merge with the Woman on top article. Then someone should cut pieces of the content for quality and source the material well. But I must state that "related to Woman on top" does not mean "is the same thing as Woman on top." Looking on Google Books (without the "wikipedia" addition given for the search field above), it appears that Störm did not do a WP:BEFORE job before nominating this article for deletion. There is enough material for the article to stand on its own or go the WP:No page route. But the topic should be covered on Wikipedia. For example, this "Discovering Your Couple Sexual Style: Sharing Desire, Pleasure, and Satisfaction" source, from Routledge, page 69, addresses history regarding the sex position.

Keep. No. This is extensively covered in the print sex literature, not to mention online. I can provide an extensive and by no means exhaustive book list (if you're keen on having an online adventure, I encourage you to look elsewhere too!):

The article notes:

Negative characterizations for those with an affinity for cats are not a recent phenomenon. One New York Times editorial from 1872, headlined ‘Cats and Craziness’, lays out a portrait of an infatuated cat-lover, differentiated from the more rationally behaved dog-lover. While these ideas persist, studies to support the idea of personality differences between cat- and dog-owners have been sparse. One online study of more than 4000 adults recruited from a range of countries, reported on the Big Five Personality traits of adults self-identifying as ‘cat people’ or ‘dog people’ (but not necessarily owning a cat or dog). ‘Cat people’ scored higher on measures of Neuroticism and Openness than ‘dog people’, but lower on Extraversion, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness [3].
Beyond the Big Five, another online study of 1000 primarily US adults found that ‘dog people’ were more socially dominant and competitive than ‘cat people’ (but there was no difference between the pet-owners on narcissism [4]). Effect sizes were small, but again, apparent even when asking about cat or dog affinity, rather than ownership. Since social dominance is associated with political conservatism [5], it is plausible that self-categorized ‘dog people’ are more likely to identify as conservative. A report from the American Veterinary Medical Association [6] suggested that this is indeed the case. They surveyed pet-owners from the 10 US states with households with the highest and lowest rates of dog and cat ownership. Nine of the top 10 dog-owning states voted Republican in the 2012 Presidential Election, and 9 of the bottom 10 dog-owning states voted Democrat. This was not the case for cat-owners: the top and bottom 10 cat-owning states were both split equally for Republican and Democrat candidates.
Two studies using social media data to analyse the behaviour of ‘cat people’ and ‘dog people’ also suggest some differences between the two types of pet-owners. Facebook published an analysis of data from 160 000 US users who posted images of either cats or dogs on their site. Those users who posted cat photos (i.e. the ‘cat people’) were more likely to be single than dog people, based on their Facebook relationship status. They also had 26 fewer Facebook friends than dog people, although they did receive more invitations to events.
A second study examined the Facebook updates of adults who posted statuses about animal ownership (‘my cat’ or ‘my dog’) and who had previously filled in the International Personality Item Pool proxy for the NEO Personality Inventory Revised (NEO-PI-R). Facebook users mentioning ‘my cat’ or ‘my dog’ were slightly lower in conscientiousness than the general population. Users mentioning their cats (specifically using the term ‘my cat’) were more neurotic, open to experience, and introverted compared to users who did not. Users mentioning their dogs, however, did not emerge as having any other specific personality traits [7].

The abstract notes:

Alleged personality differences between individuals who self-identify as “dog people” and “cat people” have long been the topic of wide-spread speculation and sporadic research. Yet existing studies offer a rather conflicting picture of what personality differences, if any, exist between the two types of person. Here we build on previous research to examine differences in the Big Five personality dimensions between dog people and cat people. Using a publicly accessible website, 4,565 participants completed the Big Five Inventory and self-identified as a dog person, cat person, both, or neither. Results suggest that dog people are higher on Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness, but lower on Neuroticism and Openness than are cat people. These differences remain significant even when controlling for sex differences in pet-ownership rates. Discussion focuses on the possible sources of personality differences between dog people and cat people and identifies key questions for future research.

The abstract notes:

Many people identify themselves as being either a “cat person” or a “dog person” based on their preference for these domestic animals. The purpose of this study was to test the common belief that there are personality differences between these types. Previous research has found differences between cat people and dog people on all Big Five personality traits, but studies comparing them on other personality characteristics have yielded mixed findings. Conjecturing that people prefer pets that complement their own personalities, we predicted that dog people should score higher than cat people on traits relating to dominance (i.e., social dominance orientation [SDO], interpersonal dominance, competitiveness, and narcissism). Two samples (ns = 506 and 503) were recruited online and completed these measures, as well as a question regarding their pet preferences. Findings for SDO and competitiveness were consistent with predictions in both studies, but no differences were found on interpersonal dominance or narcissism. The association of being a dog person with SDO and competitiveness persisted when gender differences in pet preference and personality were statistically controlled. We concluded that individuals who are high on these traits tend to prefer submissive pets such as dogs, whose temperament complements their preference for dominance.

The article notes:

Despite a dearth of scientific theory or evidence to support their beliefs, pet owners—on an intuitive level—frequently categorize themselves as either “cat people” or “dog people.” Those personality characteristics that distinguish these two categories of companion animal attachment, however, remain vague and ill-defined.
...
Hypothesis 1. Dogs will be perceived by their owners as less hostile/more friendly and more submissive/less dominant across octant scores than cats, whereas people who identify dogs as their ideal pet (dog people) will self-report as less hostile/more friendly and less submissive/more dominant across octant scores than people who identify cats as their ideal pet (cat people).
Hypothesis 2. There will be greater reported interpersonal complementarity between self-identified “dog people” and their dogs (versus cats) and greater reported interpersonal complementarity between self-identified “cat people” and their cats (versus dogs).
The article notes:
Dog and cat people differed in their interpersonal characteristics in a complementary fashion to their interpersonal perceptions of dogs and cats as companion animals. Findings revealed that those who reported that dogs were their ideal pet were significantly less hostile (F (1, 219) = 3.58, p < .04; Ms = –.62 and –.51, SDs = .35 and .43, respectively) and tended to be less submissive (F (1, 219) = 4.35, p < .06; Ms = –.20 and –.13, SDs = .32 and .33, respectively) than those who reported that cats were their ideal pet (although the latter relationship did not reach traditional significance). A t-test (using Bonferroni correction) on mean scores for the octant reflecting hostility revealed that this difference achieved significance for dog people and cat people (t (219) = 2.07, p < .04).

The possibilities for matching pets to owners' personality-types for physical and psycho-social benefits were explored. It was hypothesized that self-identified dog- and cat-lovers would show significant differences on the autonomy, dominance, nurturance, and aggression scales of the Edwards Personal Preference Test. 223 adults completed an experimenter-designed questionnaire and all of the specific Edwards Schedule A questions. An analysis of variance was applied to the scale scores transformed into standardized T scores for each of the Edwards scales. The Scheffé test showed that male cat-lovers were higher and all pet-lovers were lower in autonomy, that male pet- and dog-lovers were higher and female cat-lovers were lower in dominance, that female pet-lovers were higher and all cat-lovers were lower in nurturance, and that male dog-lovers were higher and female dog- and cat-lovers were lower in aggression. The demonstrated differences in owner personality should facilitate matching pets and people to maximize the physical and psycho-social therapeutic benefits of pet ownership.

The abstract notes:

Explored personality differences between self-labelled dog persons and cat persons as a function of pet ownership. 126 participants (aged 18–52 yrs) identified themselves as either a dog person, cat person, both, or neither, and rated their own masculinity, femininity, independence, dominance, and athleticism. Participants also read a description of a person who was labelled as either a dog or cat person, and rated this person on these same personality characteristics. Results show that females were more likely to label themselves as cat persons than were males. Quality of past experience with dogs and cats was related to current ownership of dogs and cats. There were no personality differences between dog/cat owners vs nonowners. However, there were personality differences between self-labelled dog vs cat persons. Others attributed different personality characteristics to dog vs cat persons, often as a function of gender. The real vs perceived differences in personality were not the same.

Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science. 18 (3). Taylor & Francis: 239–258. doi:10.1080/10888705.2014.950733. PMID 25257398. S2CID 29608247. Retrieved 2020-02-09.
The article notes:

Few studies have examined how personality traits may be related to the amounts and types of attachments humans have toward companion animals (pets). In this study, 1,098 companion animal guardians (owners) completed a survey that included the Big Five Inventory, the Lexington Attachment to Pets Scale, and the Pet Attachment Questionnaire. Each participant chose whether he or she identified as a Cat Person, Dog Person, Both, or Neither. Results indicated that neuroticism, conscientiousness, choosing a dog as a favorite pet, and identifying as a Cat Person, Dog Person, or Both predicted affection for a pet. Conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness decreased avoidant attachment to pets, and neuroticism increased anxious attachment to pets. Both dogs and cats could benefit from pet owners who are conscientious, and there may be some benefits of neuroticismin pet owners. The findings ofthis study will advance understanding of the human–animal bond. As this understanding increases, measurements of human attachment and personality may be useful for the development of tools that could assist shelter employees and veterinarians in counseling people about pet ownership.
The article notes:
The current study was designed to better understand attachment to/feelings for one’s pet and individual differences in identification with, attachment to, and feelings toward different types of pets. Specifically, the research goals of the current study involved investigating the following: (1) whether individuals who self-identify as a “cat person,” “dog person,” “both cat and dog person,” or “neither cat nor dog person” differ in (a) personality traits and (b) attachments to and other affective feelings toward their pets; (2) how personality is related to attachment to or feelings toward one’s pet; and (3) which variables best predict (a) affective feelings toward one’s pet as measured by the LAPS, (b) avoidant attachment to one’s pet as measured by the PAQ Avoidance Scale, and (c) anxious attachment to one’s pet as measured by the PAQ Anxiety Scale.

Comparing “Dog People” and “Cat People”

Next, we repeated the above analyses, but compared self-declared “dog people” and “cat people,” rather than those who reported owning a cat or dog. When asked whether they were a “cat person” or a “dog person,” 51 people (30%) chose “cat person,” 57 people (34%) chose “dog person,” 58 people (34%) chose “both,” and 3 people (2%) chose “neither.” We excluded those participants who answered “both” or “neither” for the following analyses. The findings were similar to those above, but fewer reached the significance threshold. There were no significant differences between cat and dog people in satisfaction with life or positive emotions, but dog people were marginally higher in happiness, and cat people were significantly higher in negative emotions (see Table 2, right side). Similarly, fewer differences were found in personality traits when comparing cat and dog people than when comparing cat and dog owners.
...
... Dog people humanized their pets more than cat people, and humanizing one’s pet predicted higher levels of positive emotion.

The article notes:

Because dogs and cats comprise the vast majority of animals kept as pets, instruments for assessing attachment primarily reflect the types of interactions possible with these two species. A study of pet attachment in the general population reported no differences between dog owners and cat owners, although dog owners and cat owners as individual groups scored significantly higher than owners of other pets (Vizek Vidoviæ, Vlahoviæ Stetiæ, & Bratko, 1999). Other previous studies (Zasloff, 1996; Winefield, Black, & Chur-Hansen, 2008) showed that dog owners are more attached to their pets than cat owners. Those results could be a consequence of the fact that in pet attachment instruments, some items only described activities typical of dogs. When items more descriptive of dog behavior were eliminated, dog owners and cat owners showed similar scores on the Comfort from Companion Animals Scale (CCAS; Zasloff, 1996). Winefield et al. (2008) reached similar conclusions – on a scale measuring the emotional aspect of the owner-pet relationship there were no significant differences between cat owners and dog owners. Notably, the alternative explanation of emerging differences on pet attachment scales between cat owners and dog owners, which claims that cat owners and dog owners have different personalities or expectations of their pet is contradicted in Serpell's research (1996), where participants showed no differences in describing the ideal pet despite whether if they described a dog or a cat. Conversely, Serpell (1996) found differences in cat and dog behavior – he describes cats as more unpredictable and distrustful. Other authors like Valentinèiè (2003) note that dogs demand more individual care than other companion animals.

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

Keep. Coverage is sufficient to be considered significant per the GNG. Note articles such as this one in Le Monde, a French newspaper of record which is about him exclusively. He is particularly notable within France and the French press ~~[32], [33], etc~~. Yes, most English language media talk about him in reference to his software contributions, but this isn't an Anglocentric encyclopedia. The French coverage plus all the other coverage combined, considering his significant impact in the industry, should be enough for a decent notability claim. Best, PK650 (talk) 23:32, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@PK650: You've confused or combined two Gael Duvals: Two sources for the wrong one, associated with JeChange and Touch Conference, and one source for the one associated with Mandrake and eelo aka e. The LeMonde source is really mostly another rehash of Mandrake and /e OS, and that author's list of articles has all appearances of being a Tech blog, similar to what we don't give much credit from Forbes or the Guardian. -- Yae4 (talk) 02:34, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about there being two people! Funny. You couldn't possibly argue Le Monde is not a reliable source, however. So the argument still stands. I didn't delve into the author's details, but the editorial integrity of the publication cannot be questioned in the manner you're implying. Not considering this as valid sigcov would be a double standard. PK650 (talk) 02:52, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- "Gaël Duval, l’adepte de Linux qui veut libérer les smartphones" from Le Monde
- "20 ans après Mandrake Linux, Gaël Duval présente son nouveau projet : Eelo, le smartphone libre" from Numerama

This article was created in 2004, while the earliest of the named accounts was created in 2013. — Newslinger talk 09:41, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Newslinger:This 2004 article start was written by someone who knew all about Duval and his homepages, and used ZERO sources. LeMonde and Numerama sources are really all about /e and Mandrake, not about Duval. -- Yae4 (talk) 16:02, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The articles from Le Monde and Numerama also cover Duval's personal life, personal experiences, and personal motivations for developing these projects. The subject of these articles is Duval, and the coverage spans both of his projects (Mandriva Linux and /e/) as well as personal information about Duval that would be out the product articles' respective scopes. Products are not "events", and in any case, Duval developed two notable products, not one. Duval is also not a low-profile individual, as he has given interviews to notable publications including The Register (RSP entry) and BGR (Boy Genius Report), in addition to all of the news coverage cited in the Mandriva Linux and /e/ (operating system) articles that include Duval's name. — Newslinger talk 14:12, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, those sources present more info' about the projects than about Duval. It's embarrassing for Wikipedia that the article has been a resume for nearly 16 years. -- Yae4 (talk) 19:53, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These articles present sufficient information about Duval himself to merit an article for him. For example, Le Monde details Duval's early life and Numerama covers why Duval transitioned from working on Mandriva Linux to /e/. Duval has two notable projects, and we don't exclude people from having biographies because their creations are notable. AfD discussions focus on the existence of reliable sources, rather than the present or past content in the article. — Newslinger talk 01:18, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Numerama. In a different context, I believe you'd agree the site is a click bait, team-blog site, masquerading as a news site (i.e. non-reliable). [34] (though it does list an editor in chief). There was non-consensus on reliability in previous discussion.[35] Did you see the Vroom section at Numerama (similar to cars.com)?

Re: "two notable projects". The French wikipedia article on Mandriva[36] gives equal credit to Frédéric Bastok et Jacques Le Marois as well, for Mandrake business. This is confirmed by the Le Monde article. So, it does support some change to the english Mandriva articles (which should probably be merged), but that's only one and a fraction projects. In fairness, there's also Ulteo and Ulteo Open Virtual Desktop - two more Duval-involved articles for one more project advertised on Wikipedia, but they also have marginal sourcing, should be merged, and at least one was also self-edited.

Re Mandriva Linux sources. Those sources are almost entirely after 2006 after Duval was fired.

As said earlier, I believe the Le Monde article being discussed here is of blog quality, with less editorial oversight than other articles. The following, to me, is an indicator. The Le Monde article [37] author's (Bastien Lion) contributions are listed under the following

https://www.lemonde.fr/signataires/bastien-lion/

Note the URL difference in the following list of articles:

https://www.lemonde.fr/signataires/pixels/

Taking an example from that list, regarding Zuckerberg [38], Note that it is authored, "Par Pixels". This indicates to me it is considered more a publication of Le Monde. Other "Pixels" articles are attributed to individual authors, and it looks like this is consistent with less editorial oversight. Last, while it gives some personal detail, it's mostly about the projects, not the person, IMO. -- Yae4 (talk) 20:48, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment : did anyone look at the sources? They all talk about his son. The mentions of Duane are at best trivial and do not impart real information about Duane. There is no in depth discussion of Duane in any reliable sources. I don't feel as strongly as I did, but I'm not going to withdraw my nomination. There is no evidence this individual meets GNG or NACTOR. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 14:12, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am currently undecided. I did think that Davis's notability seemed a little shaky when I created Wyatt Davis. He receives more than passing mentions in a lot of articles, but they don't ever seem to focused on him and much of that has to do with the fact that both his father Willie Davis (defensive end) (a HOF defensive end) and his son (a top-level recruit out of HS and a consensus All-American in college) are both very much notable. If he is notable how is this sourcing different from a case of WP:NOTINHERITED? Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:24, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Davis has received significant recognition as his role as a football player in The Program and there are several sources on this. Many of the sources mention his son, but not all of them go into significant detail on Wyatt (more like, oh yeah, his son is a top recruit). I think there are enough sources to satisfy GNG and NACTOR. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 19:46, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say most articles that I have found are the other way around, but This one does focus more on him and he appears to have been part of several ESPN works regarding the "The Program". I think that he has received just enough combined with his acting credits to but him a little above the line of notability. Weak Keep, but keep the current maintenance tag on the article. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:10, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I would argue that, given his acting credits, the subject is notable in his own right as an actor. The only area where I can see issues is WP:GNG. That being said, I do feel that there are substantial sources to satisfy it. He is discussed in sufficient detail in many of the sources currently in the article—certainly more than mere passing mentions—and it seems to me that this is not a case of WP:NOTINHERITED. If the sources simply tacked on the fact that the subject is the son and father of famous people, there would be a problem, but the sources discuss him in respect of his acting career and not (solely) in respect of his famous relatives. In my opinion, having famous relatives should not work against him if he can establish notability based on his own career. Dflaw4 (talk) 05:02, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NPOL is vague on whether or not elected/appointed status matters, so WP:POLOUTCOMES addresses something for "sub-cabinet officials". ミラ P 21:08, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Civil servants at the "deputy minister" level can certainly qualify for Wikipedia articles if they're properly referenced to sufficient reliable source coverage about them in media to clear WP:GNG, but are not handed any automatic notability freebies just because it's technically verifiable that they exist. But this is written like a résumé, not like an encyclopedia article, and the references aren't getting him over GNG — out of six footnotes, four primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, like a press release from his own employer and a newspaper piece where he's the bylined author of the content and not its subject and two YouTube videos. And the only two sources that are to real media just glancingly mention his name in the process of not being substantively about him, which means they aren't getting him over the bar by themselves either if they're the only reliable sources in play.

Keep (in spite of the article quality) as an outright WP:NPOL pass, and WP:POLOUTCOMES states that Sub-cabinet officials [...] are usually considered notable, especially if they have had otherwise notable careers. Besides, we just voted to keep a similar article from this country last month, and notability tends to be different between Wikipedias. ミラ P 12:52, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sub-cabinet officials are accepted as notable if they can be shown to be the subject of enough reliable source coverage to pass WP:GNG. They are not handed an automatic notability freebie, or an exemption from having to have any notability-supporting reliable sources, just because they exist. Bearcat (talk) 15:18, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah they are, as shown in that AFD. Besides, WP:N says that [a] topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and [i]t is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy. WP:NPOL is a "subject-specific guideline" and covers [p]oliticians and judges who have held international, national [...] office and is vague on who to apply it to, so we have WP:POLOUTCOMES to determine that, and we have something addressing "sub-cabinet officials". ミラ P 21:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This fails to establish notability. Deprodder cites "Hero-A-Go-Go," but that contains coverage on a single page (pg. 261) with no particular commentary other than a reference to a band parody trend at the time. The most you could do is use it in place of primary material to describe some of the plot info. They also cite "Can Rock & Roll Save the World?," but that is literally a single mention of their name (pg. 170) in reference to some other group. That is the literal definition of trivial mention.

~~Keep~~ Per WP:AUTHOR "1. The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." - the work is cited in Teaching Green, The New Teaching Elementary Science, Science Curriculum and The greenhouse-effect experiment (behind a paywall but Google says they cite Jacobson & Bergman Science for Children). I have also added two sources to the article. The book source is more substantial with the NYT source being a trivial mention in the obituary of his co-author. As a side note, the article text says he is male but the article is claimed by Wikiproject Women Writers - I am guessing that someone got a little confused when they saw the name Abby (unless it is the text that is wrong, or the subject has had a change in gender). From Hill To Shore (talk) 02:12, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another trawl looking for sources reveals that his 1998 work was also cited in "No limits to teach(er)" but how?, The Duties, Responsibilities, and Challenges of Opening a New Elementary School and Elementary Principals' Perspectives on Opening New Schools in a Large Urban School District, among others. I am not sure how "wide" the "widely cited by peers" has to be for WP:AUTHOR but he does get a lot of mentions. From Hill To Shore (talk) 20:53, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Changing to Weak delete. While I think that he barely scrapes over the bar of notability, two exhaustive searches for online sources give little detail, even from trivial mentions. There is so little information that we are probably close to repeating the "about the author" section of his own book. For me this is a case of an article that would be useful to Wikipedia, if we had the reliable sources to take us beyond a list of his works.

Weak Keep. I found at least three Tunnel Inns in California, one in Lafayette, CA, which is the one Reywas92 mentioned as having good steaks and a bowling league. There seems to have been another in Sacramento. By searching for "Tunnel Inn Shasta", I did find these articles Bar fight at the Tunnel Inn, which supports the Tunnel Inn being only an inn, Timber blaze under control, says "prevent the fire from reaching the Tunnel Inn area, a heavily populated area," supports keeping the article, Obit that mentions that the wife and son were "both of the Tunnel Inn District," which supports keeping the article. Looking at WP:GEOLAND, this place is not obviously in the category of "Populated, legally recognized places", though it did have a FIPS code and it is listed in a California Roster of Federal, State, County and City Officials 1964, so it does have some legal recognition. As far as "Populated places without legal recognition," I've only found trivial coverage in newspapers, so it fails that test. On the basis of the FIPS code and being in the roster, I feel the article meets WP:GEOLAND. Cxbrx (talk) 18:20, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
All of the railroad spurs of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susie, Washington have the same five-digit census codes. They're automatically provided for everything in the GNIS and is not a statement of being a legally recognized populated place. The California Roster I assume uses the same data from USGS, but the same page that lists "Tunnel Inn, Shasta" has a "Union Creek, Trinity", which is only in the GNIS as a stream, as well as "Union Air Terminal, Los Angeles": Hollywood Burbank Airport is not a populated place!

@Cardiffbear88 It's notable architecturally [46] , aside from being one of the top hotels of one of the biggest cities in a country. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:38, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Dr. Blofeld - if you have time could you perhaps integrate some of this information into the article? My French isn’t good enough to extract it from this article accurately. At the moment I don’t feel there’s any notable information about the hotel’s architecture, for example.

The photo in that source from 2018 establishes the architectural significance of the hotel well enough for me. My French language skill is imperfect but I gather from reading the article in French that there is legal dispute about permitting during major renovation of hotel. A Google translation into English of the article is incomplete (drops some sections where pictures or picture captions obscure the main text) for me, but it seems:

the hotel consists of two buildings built in 1910 and 1923, on 3 hectares (7.4 acres)
the present owners bought the hotel in 2014(?) and/or began the major rehabilitation in 2014(?) with terms approved by the Algerian national government(?), or by other means an understanding was created, which:

a) involved a 40 million Euro subsidy by the Algerian state for the major rehabilitation and set a scope of work for the project which included closing a portion of road, the "upper part of Rahmani Achour Street to the SIH", whatever the SIH is. The permanent road closure is essential to the project for allowing proper security of the hotel's entranceway. (I suspect they are trying to make it secure to avoid vehicle bombing of the entranceway, as has happened at a number of high end hotels in the Middle East)

b) which the local mayor and government of Constantine are not going along with, refusing to allow the closure of the road, and stating that the access "is critical for the city and especially for the population who live on Rahmani Achour street"

the rehabilitation combines the two historic buildings, adds swimming pools (plural) and administrative space extensions, yielding a hotel having "54 luxurious rooms, 26 diplomatic suites, and a presidential one".
The rehabilitation also installed "modern fire safety systems while retaining its Arab-Moorish architectural aspect."
Completion of the rehab, including achieving security for the entranceway, was required for the hotel to obtain or to keep "Autograph label" which is a certification or branding that I think must be necessary for diplomats or other high-end clients to be willing to stay there [apparently this is Autograph Collection label].

The rehabilitation seemed to be mostly complete, with funds wholly or mostly spent. The contractor(s) were obligated to complete the project by December 31, 2018, but were blocked by the local government's actions.

IMHO the scope of the rehab and the involvement of national government and conflict with the local government make the project and this hotel more significant than it would have been already.

IMHO there must exist local and off-line sources about the hotel in its long history, and there will have been historic coverage of important events/people staying there, as well as coverage of the design/architecture of the buildings.

I am curious what happened, did the hotel get opened; it seems like it would have been resolved by now, in February 2020. Perhaps it did not get opened, or it is not marketed to the general public, because hotel search websites like this one about top Constantine hotels do not cover it.

Hope this partial summary of that article and comments help somewhat. --Doncram (talk) 19:15, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram Whilst this is useful, we need to find independent secondary sources to prove that there is a consensus that the hotel is architecturally significant. Our interpretation of a photo accompanying a primary source is not sufficient to demonstrate notability.Cardiffbear88 (talk) 20:02, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment about another hotel: Constantine is city also known as Cirta. Searching more broadly on "Constantine Algeria hotel architecture" yields this source by Myrtha pools company about their multiple-pools project at Constantine Marriott Hotel (a different, 5-star, peer hotel), and this source by architect of renovations at that hotel, which covers its architecture and amenities and size in text and photos. The architect or contractor was Fabris & Partners of Latisana, Italy. Fabris & Partners' website offers up this coverage of the hotel in Compasses architectural magazine, issue 28, in 2018. The Constantine Marriott Hotel seems clearly notable to me. It is not covered in Wikipedia's List of hotels or specifically List of hotels in Algeria (new redirect). --Doncram (talk) 19:37, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram This is outside of the scope of an AfD debate, which can only ever be about deleting one page or a series of related pages. Have a look at WP:AFC for information about how to nominate a topic for a new article. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 20:02, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment about commenting in AFDs. I have posted this in another AFD: IMO it gets tedious if an editor comments in response to every single other comment made which does not perfectly agree with the editor's stated position. Maybe it is more tedious if the editor is the deletion nominator. It is also more tedious if the editor does not concede an iota, ever, about any point at all, IMO. Please let a consensus emerge from others' discussion. --Doncram (talk) 20:10, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram You are welcome to explore my contributions and see for yourself - I don’t make a habit of commenting endlessly on AfDs, trust me. However, I’m afraid your most recent comments have highlighted significant misunderstandings in the AfD process which I thought I was being courteous to alert you to. I don’t really have a strong opinion either way whether the article stays or goes, but I do want the decision to be based on the facts and not bluster. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 20:14, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the hotel and its restoration are the subject of national news 1, 2 and 3. The architecture seems interesting but I’m not sure that it’s so distinctive that it would establish notability on its own. Mccapra (talk) 06:51, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: First off, the article makes no claim of notability. It says basically that it's a hotel, but nothing about why it's different from any other hotel. And yes, AfD isn't for cleanup, but an article has to make a credible claim of notability. The comment here that it's "one of" the "top" hotels in "one of" the biggest cities is really vague. What does "top" mean? One of how many top hotels? So basically it's a big hotel in the third largest city in Algeria. That doesn't make it notable.

Secondly, the article has a strongly promotional character. It lists the rooms in the hotel, which is normal in an advertisement, but not in an encyclopedia article of this size, and it quotes marketing-style descriptions from travel sites. --Slashme (talk) 10:28, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The nominator has said, "I don’t really have a strong opinion either way whether the article stays or goes..." which seems to indicate that he/she might not feel as strongly about the nomination to delete anymore. Please correct me if I am misinterpreting your comment, Cardiffbear88. Dflaw4 (talk) 06:35, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dflaw4 having looked at all of the evidence presented in this debate I’m still not convinced that the subject is in any way notable. I don’t believe any of the !keep editors so far have provided independent secondary sources that demonstrate notability above and beyond any hotel in any guide book. Particularly the argument about architectural significance, which needs secondary evidence and not our interpretation of a photo.

Having said that, I’m not going to go into edit wars or argue about it incessantly on here with anyone who disagrees, as some might have suggested previously. I’m not going to renominate it, or flag it elsewhere for deletion, if this forum believes it should be kept. However, as of yet I’m not convinced of the arguments still. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 07:38, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep as the article claims that two of his singles (one a co-operation) have charted on one or other of the German national charts which would pass criteria 2 of WP:NMUSIC. One of the chartings is referenced to a book on Google books but I can't read it on my ipad. There is also a staff written bio on AllMusic here and they have two staff written reviews of two of his albums, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 20:22, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NEXIST. In addition to the German chart-listing, there's also a lot of coverage in ska/punk fanzines, including an interview in Broke in Korea #17. I know that fanzines aren't necessarily considered RS, but there really are quite a few, which I think speaks to the importance of the band in this particular subculture. I added those links to the article in a "Further reading" section. -- Toughpigs (talk) 14:29, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Going by your comment, this organization breezes past the alternate criteria for non-commercial organizations. Moving on... Dee 03 21:43, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, as pointed out elsewhere, WP:ROUTINE only applies to the notability of events, so it should not be used as an argument on notability of individuals and organizations. --Soman (talk) 00:28, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dee03, MRM is a Muslim WP:BRANCH of RSS, so it still needs an independent notability pass if it has to exist as a seperate article, and I don't see how it breezes past the criteria. Soman, if you dont want WP:ROUTINE to be invoked, then please do not use routine coverage of events in the newspapers. --DBig Xrayᗙ 19:33, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Asking us to evaluate this using BRANCH has become slightly repetitive and redundant at this point, given that BRANCH is being cited incorrectly to begin with. As demonstrated by multiple editors, this organization is notable on its own, unlike recently deleted ones like BJYM Karnataka and BJYM Mumbai, which were indeed examples of BRANCH, i.e., individual chapters of national and international organizations. MRM passes the alternate criteria by satisfying two (NONPROFIT and GNG), if not all three, of the notability requirements outlined there. Dee 03 08:09, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not only that org fails on notability, it fails on verifiability as well. If it somehow survives AfD, it should be merged into RSS or any of its affiliate articles with some clarifications, pronto (entire string on RSS articles suffers from extreme nationalism bias and POV problems, lacking basic info and context).-౪ Santa ౪^99° 17:55, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep meets WP:GNG, the WP:THREE are: Chapter 6 of the book linked above by Walter K. Andersen and Shridhar D. Damle published in 2019 by C. Hurst & Co. and distributed in the US by Oxford University Press, The Economic Times 2015 [58], and Deutsche Welle 2017 [59]. Put "Muslim Rashtriya Manch" into WP:RSSE or Google News and there is a lot of other coverage, e.g., India Today 2019 [60], Indo-Asian News Service via The New Indian Express 2019 [61], and Newslaundry 2016 (not sure if that one is an RS). I also think this Hindustan Times 2014 article [62] counts as GNG because it is both an interview and also independent reporting in the journalist's own voice. I also think The Washington Post 2019 opinion piece [63] counts for notability even if it's opinion. But even without the HT and WaPo, and take out the routine or otherwise questionable stuff, this is still a GNG keep based on the sourcing out there. Levivich 20:37, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Leviv I have reviewed the links and I note that all of them are referring it as RSS body,

RSS backed Muslim Rashtriya Manch on ... (In its title)
...some Muslims have joined the RSS, a hardline... (in its opening line)
RSS wing reaches out to Muslims (in its title)
This RSS body is a bridge between Muslims and Sangh(in its title)

RSS is a notable organisation and these appear to be dependent coverage based on the popularity of RSS as it is a WP:BRANCH of RSS. Accordingly I have changed my vote from Delete to Merge with Sangh Parivar (also fine with a merge with RSS) as I think we should have the info about this wing of RSS somewhere. Sangh Parivar being the umbrella term for RSS organizations. seems to be the best alternative the other being Rashtriya Swayamsevak SanghDBig Xrayᗙ 08:57, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not surprised that every source discussing MSM also discuss RSS since MSM is part of RSS, but although RSS is mentioned, the articles I linked to are in-depth coverage of MSM, not RSS, and that’s why I think it should be kept (although I see it as a WP:PAGEDECIDE/WP:PAGESIZE issue more than a notability issue, so I’m not terribly opposed to a merge). Levivich (lulz) 23:12, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Levivich, These links are actually introducing it as RSS wing and talking about MRM in context of RSS. All these articles make it clear that they consider the reader to be familiar with RSS and unfamiliar with MRM. Had MRM been notable to merit a separate article, the media would have jumped into discussing MRM exclusively. RSS page, I note that has "readable Prose size (text only) = 52 kB (8592 words) so clearly RSS article is not WP:TOOBIG per the WP:PAGESIZE. regarding WP:PAGEDECIDE, I would say that it actually suggests to merge since MRM so far has basically been a messenger for the RSS to communicate RSS' policies to the muslim masses. There is no major work that can be discussed in this exclusive article and the reader is better served by reading about MRM as a section in RSS. --DBig Xrayᗙ 09:58, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Had MRM been notable to merit a separate article, the media would have jumped into discussing MRM exclusively.^{[citation needed]} As for whether it’s better for the reader for the articles to be merged or not, that’s an editorial decision that should be discussed on the talk page of RSS per our usual merge discussion procedure. This AFD nom is based on the argument that the subject fails GNG and NORG. I think the sources disprove that. So it’s a keep. The fact that it could be merged doesn’t make it not-a-keep. Literally every article that meets GNG could be merged. I don’t really like discussing mergers at AFDs, because watchers of the RSS article may not even be aware of this AFD. So you can argue merge until you’re blue in the face, it won’t change my mind that this article topic meets GNG. That opinion of mine is based on the sourcing, not on arguments about merger, because whether an article should be merged has little to do with whether an article meets GNG, as explained in PAGEDECIDE.

I don't know much about this topic and added a keep in good faith but if there's a better place to put this, I'm happy to be convinced - it would be helpful for you as someone much more knowledgeable about the topic to explain a bit more. For example, if the myth is valid but nothing worth merging here, why not a redirect?

Comment I may have muddied the waters somewhat by finding a reliable source and adding a bit of info from this yesterday.

Online sourcing is looking thin but they definitely made waves in Wellington. This profile by a music charitable trust (Not your usual random blog) called them: "Arguably the most memorable of all the early Wellington post-punk bands." And if you click read more there is reams of material. This source is republication of a 1981 review. However an interesting snippet at the bottom of that page says: "I’m making it available simply for the record, because there was so little written about such groups at the time." Wading through the other the google hits gets them plenty of passing mentions mostly in relation to Heyward. So weather this all adds up to significant coverage, I'm undecided on.

Delete, albeit there seems to be related sources (to some extent), but as much as I see/reckon: such references might not be good enough to keep/support a page in Wikipedia; and factually it needs more related sources to be kept. Ali Ahwazi (talk) 10:30, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I found this source which heavily implies that coverage existed in the The Dominion Post (Wellington) and the Evening Post. Not sure about the second one but the Dominion is one of NZ's top newspapers. I also found [65], which looks decent. And also this blog post which was apparently originally published on Othermusic.com (no longer available online, so they reposed it on a blog). Not sure if Othermusic would count or not as I don't know much about the site, but it does have some nice coverage. I also found [66], which also mentions coverage in "In Touch Magazine". I think in general there is enough indication that reliable sources exist (and others exist that aren't available online) and that we have enough sources to be able to flesh out a non-stub article. I didn't even do that thorough of a search, so there's probably a lot I missed. (Disclaimer: I live in Wellington NZ but haven't heard of the band before.) — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)}_{(click me!)} 19:09, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I suspect there is plenty of coverage of this band from the era they were active, but it will be in print newspapers and magazines that aren't easily available online. Based on what we have currently I'd say we are firmly at 'borderline', but giving the benefit of the doubt we should probably keep this. As a local Wellingtonian I'm wary of objectivity though. LibStar, Mattg82, Atlantic306,TenPoundHammer and Ali Ahwazi; thoughts? — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)}_{(click me!)} 21:43, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So far all you've found is implications of coverage, not the actual coverage. For all we know the "coverage" could've just been a name drop that got overinflated to make the band seem more notable, absent the actual coverage's presence. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 21:53, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep changing to full keep. There is proven significant coverage in The Evening Post and in this magazine article here press read more for the full article and it is highly likely that there is content in the Dominican post so there is enough coverage for it to stay, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:20, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify Though there is some coverage for him, I think the best move would be to move to draft for the time being. If he is announced as the starting quarterback, I think it will meet GNG at that point. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 15:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It's fair to consider this article as falling within WP:TOOSOON, but he will almost certainly be notable later this year, if he is not already. He is expected to be Oklahoma's starting quarterback this year, and the current betting odds rank him No. 3 as a likely candidate to win the 2020 Heisman Trophy. See here and here. Eddy's suggestion to draftify probably makes more sense than outright deletion. Cbl62 (talk) 01:06, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with draftify. We don't yet know if he'll be Oklahoma's quarterback, and we can't assume that. We can move it over once he starts for them, assuming he'll generate the coverage to go along with that. SportingFlyer T·C 03:21, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"We don't yet know if he'll be Oklahoma's starting quarterback ..." We agree, and that's why WP:TOOSOON applies, and draftifying seems like the prudent middle course. That said, if the No. 3 Heisman prospect doesn't end up starting, that would be remarkable (and perhaps Wiki-notable) in itself. Cbl62 (talk) 04:02, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The company was spun off of Honeywell in 2016, according to Forbes. When the Feds dropped an investigation of the company in 2019, Yahoo Finance thought it deserved a full length story. Colin Gerhard (talk) 12:21, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Colin Gerhard: I noticed you put the Plastic News citation in the article about them closing the plant in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. So can you also get rid of the reference to it as currently being operational in the second paragraph? Thanks. --Adamant1 (talk) 00:49, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with Colin, and that isn't the only news coverage I've managed to find of them. They apparently got an eco-friendly award that was also covered in Yahoo news, among other sources. That's not notable in and of itself, I don't think, but the company is definitely getting independent coverage. The article could certainly use improvement, but I don't see any good reason to delete it altogether. Sleddog116 (talk) 15:19, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Yahoo "News article" is just a company press release from business wire. In no way is that is independent coverage. You and Colin really should have checked it before citing it. As far as forbes article goes, a company being split is kind of blah. Its not notable IMO because otherwise your making it a notability by association thing. Which isn't how Wikipedia works. Also, the Forbes "article" (more like a blog post. Which they do have) is by a guest author and doesn't represent their views. So that's blah also and again, should have been checked before citing. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:54, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, there's also already established consensus here that Forbes contributors are not reliable sources. Even the company says they don't represent their views. So please check the sources before posting them next time. Otherwise, we just end up keeping a none notable article. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:40, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This subject gets thousands of stories on Google news. Here is one in Plastics News: "AdvanSix halts nylon film making in Pennsylvania, cutting 85 jobs." It tells us that, "AdvanSix ranks as one of the world's largest makers of nylon 6. The firm posted sales of just over $1.5 billion in 2018." Check out our nylon 6 article.
I see the problem with the Yahoo Finance story now. As for the Forbes article, WP:RSP is, you know, a Wikipedia page that anyone can edit. At most, the opinions expressed there are the "consensus" of a discussion that might have involved three or four people. Forbes remains a widely-used source for business information. Contributors can certainly have opinions that do not represent Forbes. But an editor decided that this subject was notable enough to run a story about it. I am not aware of any general rule that says spinoffs are not notable. It obviously depends on the coverage and significance of the spinoff in question. Colin Gerhard (talk) 02:17, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, see Google Test. "Keep It has 345,400 Google hits, so it is clearly of interest. – GoogleBoy." I'm sure you'll blow that off though because anyone can edit it. Anyway, how many of those articles in Google News are actually usable? The vast majority are stock price "articles." In other words, complete trash. So maybe there's a few that are usable if you sift through them, but that's not the argument your making anyway. I don't care if there's the possibility there might be reliable sources at some point in the future if we look hard enough for them because Google News give thousands of results. I care if we have them now, and we don't. As far as the Forbes thing goes, it wasn't three or four people. It was 11 discussions involving multiple people every time. Even if it was just 3 or 4 or in each, and it wasn't, that would still be 30 or 40 people. Which is ten times more then decides on if an article gets deleted here. If you think the opinions of 4 or 40 people isn't consensus enough, then I see zero reason your even involved in this. Ultimately I don't care what Forbes editors think, I care what precedence on Wikipedia is and it's clear the precedence is against us using contributors to Forbes as sources. If you have an issue with it, feel free to take it up in the proper channels. This isn't the right place to argue about it though. As it's not on me. Btw, all the information from your Plastic News source is either credited to either an earnings release, "Market sources" (whatever that means), or a blog post. Your really reaching if you think those things are at all reliable. My guess is that most of the Google News results you think we keep the article over are much of the same.

Christ Colin, your only citing one discussion when I said there where 11. Go to the actual article I cited here instead of nick picking a single discussion. See the 11 next to the red circle with the line through it? That's how many discussions there have been about it. If you hover the n in brackets next to the 11 there's links to all the discussions. Which should have been obvious since that's how many discussions I said there were. If you can't be bothered to even check a simple thing like that before you attack someone and are that miss-trusting of what other people tell you, you really shouldn't be doing this. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:26, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

delete Nothing speaking to their notability has materialized since the first time the AfD was listed and I doubt anything will. None of the sources provided have been reliable and the person still defending them has resorted to personal attacks instead of looking for more. So, there's zero reason this article should exist IMO. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:03, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The complaint made about Forbes contributors on Reliable sources/Noticeboard is that they are mere bloggers. But Joe Cornell edits a subscription newsletter, so I don't think he comes under that umbrella. He seems to be a "spin off specialist" and has written a long list of articles for Forbes on various spin offs. To summarize, here are the stories an AdvanSix artcle could be based on:

Cornell, Joe, "Digging Into Honeywell's AdvanSix Spinoff," Forbes, Jun 3, 2016.
"AdvanSix Awarded 2020 Gold Rating for Corporate Social Responsibility From EcoVadis", Associated Press, Jan 30, 2020.
"Honeywell plans spin-off of resins business with Richmond-area operations," Richmond Times-Dispatch, May 12, 2016. RTD is the local paper for the company's main base of operations.
"State and federal authorities converge on Hopewell chemical plant as part of undisclosed investigation," Richmond Times-Dispatch
Esposito, Frank, "AdvanSix helps firefighters in Virginia", Plastics News, May 15, 2019
"AdvanSix halts nylon film making in Pennsylvania, cutting 85 jobs," Plastics News, May 15, 2019.
"Nearly 100 People Out of Work as Plant Near Pottsville Closes its Doors", WNEP, May 3, 2019.
"AdvanSix Expands Operations at Hopewell, Virginia, Plant", Area Development, May 31, 2019. Colin Gerhard (talk) 08:07, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are we seriously going to go through this again? I can't speak to the Richmond articles because they paywalled or something, but Forbes is already out. So get over it. As far as the other two, your AP Press article citation is yet again another company press release from the Business Wire. Whereas, the Plastic News one says "AdvanSix's plant in Hopewell helped purchase two intercom headset systems to improve safety and responses to an emergency. The equipment — valued at $5,000 — will to assist and improve communication for firefighters onboard a fire engine" and that's pretty much it. It should be pretty clear why a plant buying two intercoms for a fire department isn't notable. Neither is them firing people. Every business does that. Or them wining an award (see the corporation notability guidelines). Again, is it that freakin hard to check your citations? At this point it seems like your intentionally trying to pass off bad articles just to get your way. Which is the clearly the reason your unwilling to accept the consensus on the Forbes thing. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:46, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations (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. Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability.

Analyst reports

This 23 June 2017 article^{Internet Archive} from The Fly notes:
Cowen analyst Charles Neivert initiated AdvanSix (ASIX) with an Outperform and a $37 price target saying the ultimate earnings power and likely multiple expansion are underappreciated by investors. The analyst said after the spinoff from Honeywell (HON), AdvanSix will be able to optimize resources and expand earnings through product improvement and eventually acquisitions.
This 6 February 2019 article^{Internet Archive} from The Fly notes:
As reported previously, Cowen analyst Charles Neivert downgraded AdvanSix to Market Perform from Outperform. The analyst said recent subtle changes in industry fundamentals and the macro outlook have made him more cautious. He believes margin pressure will be present throughout most of 2019 based on headwinds from feedstocks, capacity, and a weakening macro versus consensus. Neivert maintained his $33 price target on AdvanSix shares.
This 26 June 2019 article^{Internet Archive} from The Fly notes:
Stifel analyst Vincent Anderson maintained a Buy rating on AdvanSix after the mayor of Philadelphia confirmed an earlier Reuters report that PES intends to permanently close its refinery following the recent plant explosion and fire. In a research note to investors, Anderson, who believes shares of AdvanSix are weak due to the probability that the refinery will go through with the closure, says he does not expect clarity from management for some time, but thinks his estimates should limit downside risk in shares to $2-$4. He says that while it is likely that the increased cost will drive a negative revision to estimates, he continues to view AdvanSix shares as undervalued and with an improving earnings profile in 2020.
This 10 December 2018 article^{Internet Archive} from The Fly notes:
Stifel analyst Vincent Anderson initiated AdvanSix with a Buy rating and a price target of $38. The analyst cites the company's position as a low-cost vertically integrated producer of caprolactam with unique asset base. Anderson also notes that AdvanSix is leveraged to a strong North America Ag market through specialty nitrogen fertilizer with a conservative balance sheet.

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

Cunard (talk) 05:16, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The analyst reports from Cowen Inc., CL King, and Stifel Nicolaus are sufficient to establish notability per Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations.
Cunard (talk) 05:16, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While I have zero issue with analysts reports, because like you said they are usually citable, I would consider an article by one that amounts to a simple statement of "I'm changing my sell rating to a buy" as not meeting the whole "in-depth coverage" standard or the rules about neutrality. WP:NOCORP specifically says the source has to have significant coverage. It can't be trivial or temporary opinion (which don't meet neutral POV). As stock price fluctuations or buy/sell recommendations are and are not neutral. A person writing an article being an "analyst" doesn't circumvent those things. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:53, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no requirement for reliable sources to be neutral. Analyst reports never have "a simple statement of 'I'm changing my sell rating to a buy'" because that would not be useful to the investors who purchase and read them to guide their investment decisions. Analyst reports always have in-depth analysis of why an analyst is making a recommendation. For example, The Fly article about the Stifel Nicolaus analysis said, "The analyst cites the company's position as a low-cost vertically integrated producer of caprolactam with unique asset base. Anderson also notes that AdvanSix is leveraged to a strong North America Ag market through specialty nitrogen fertilizer with a conservative balance sheet." This is a two-sentence summary of the analyst's conclusions which are much more in-depth. Here is a sample analyst report of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. from Morningstar. It contains a discussion of the risks the company faces, a financial overview, and a company overview which are all encylopedic information. Analyst reports follow this standard format.
Cunard (talk) 06:18, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What? Since when does the neutrality of the article or it's author not matter? We can't use articles written by Forbes contributors exactly for that reason and there's a whole list of other none usable just because of their low neutrality. So I have zero clue what your talking about. Things like "the company's position as a low-cost vertically integrated producer of caprolactam with unique asset base" that you cite are essentially just buzzwordy advertisements for the company, and totally not acceptable as encyclopedic content. Know one cares about what their "unique asset base". Let alone how "low-cost vertically integrated" they are, or that they have a "conservative balance sheet." Most people wouldn't even know what those things mean. It's ridiculous to suggest otherwise or to say neutrality doesn't matter. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:38, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Biased or opinionated sources, "Wikipedia articles are required to present a neutral point of view. However, reliable sources are not required to be neutral, unbiased, or objective. Sometimes non-neutral sources are the best possible sources for supporting information about the different viewpoints held on a subject."

All analyst reports are non-neutral sources because their authors advance a viewpoint about the company's performance and support that viewpoint with evidence and analysis. Analyst reports are reliable sources that establish notability because they provide detailed analysis of the company, are independent of the subject, and are published by reputable firms.

This is why Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations says about sources that establish notability for public companies: "Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports."

Cunard (talk) 08:07, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't work for investment firms though. They are't random analysts and the guidelines for companies are much higher then the GNG anyway. Most importantly here is Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Independent sources "A primary test of notability is whether unrelated people with no vested interest in the subject", " the author must be unrelated to the company, organization, or product. Related persons include organization's personnel, owners, investors, (sub)contractors, vendors, distributors, suppliers, other business partners and associates, customers, competitors, sponsors and sponsorees (including astroturfing), and other parties that have something, financially or otherwise, to gain or lose." https://investors.advansix.com/financial-releases/2019/09-04-2019-133025959 and https://www.cowen.com/capabilities/investment-management/ - COWEN HEALTHCARE INVESTMENTS. So neutrality does matter when your talking about something put out by companies that have something to gain from the company the article is about. They aren't just random, financial analyst's that are working independently on behalf of a news organization. I'd also cite Examples of trivial coverage which includes changes in share or bond prices, quarterly or annual financial results and earning forecasts, expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business, capital transaction, such as raised capital. Which is exactly what the analyst reports you cited cover even if it's put in their own words. I'd also say that an "in-depth analysis of the subject", as you put it, is original research. Although in this case since the companies writing the articles are invested in the company it's more like "just say whatever makes the stock price go up." --Adamant1 (talk) 08:55, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding "I'd also say that an 'in-depth analysis of the subject', as you put it, is original research.", Wikipedia:No original research says that Wikipedia editors cannot engage in original research about a topic. It does not prohibit Wikipedia editors from basing content on independent reliable sources such as analyst reports (or books, studies published in academic journals, and newspaper articles) that engage in original research.

I do not consider an AdvanSix presentation at a CL King conference to disqualify a CL King analyst report from being independent. I do not consider Cowen Inc. having a healthcare fund that may or may not have AdvanSix in it to disqualify a Cowen Inc. analyst report from being independent. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (which is regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) published a page titled "Research Analyst Rules". The page notes:

The aim of FINRA's equity and debt research analyst and research report rules is to foster objectivity and transparency in research reports and public appearances and provide investors with more reliable and useful information to make investment decisions.
In general, FINRA's equity and debt research rules require clear, comprehensive and prominent disclosure of conflicts of /interest in research reports and public appearances by research analysts. The rules further prohibit certain conduct where the conflicts are considered too pronounced to be cured by disclosure. Several of the equity research rules' provisions implement provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley"), which mandates separation between research and investment banking, proscribes conduct that could compromise a research analyst's objectivity and requires specific disclosures in research reports and public appearances. FINRA's equity research rules also conform to the JOBS Act (The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act) of 2012.

The page further notes:

This rule governs conflicts of interest in connection with the publication of equity research reports and public appearances by research analysts. The rule requires firms to establish and implement policies and procedures to identify and manage research-related conflicts of interest. Among other things, the policies must separate research from investment banking with respect to supervision of research analysts, budget determinations and compensation of analysts. The rule further prohibits promises of favorable research and analyst participation in solicitation of investment banking business and road shows. The rule also requires disclosure of investment banking and other material conflicts of interest, such as personal and firm ownership of a subject company's securities.

CL King is regulated by FINRA according to this page as are Cowen Inc. (link) and Stifel Nicolaus (link).

The analyst reports are independent because a company's "policies must separate research from investment banking with respect to supervision of research analysts, budget determinations and compensation of analysts" and because policies must "mandat[e] separation between research and investment banking, proscrib[e] conduct that could compromise a research analyst's objectivity and requir[e] specific disclosures in research reports and public appearances".

Saichaitanya4496 (talk) 11:00, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
delete @Saichaitanya4496: WP:CRYSTALBALL says that we shouldnt have articles based on assumption that something will become notable in the future. I am not sure which Hindu article you are talking about, but this source doesnt say the shooting of the film has begun. I couldnt find any other reliable source stating that the shooting/principal photography has begun. All I could see was "the shooting will begin without Allu Arjun on the set, and he will join it afterwards. If there are sources saying it has begun, then kindly let me know. But until then, the film fails notability guidelines for future films, and shouldnt have an article. However, this is not the only policy. We can also keep the article if the films passes general notable criteria. But it requires sustained coverage of the film in reliable sources. So far, most of the coverage of film is from telly sites/gossip sites. Other than that, we have press releases, routine coverage about the film, and some passing (but not significant) coverage of the film where something else is being covered. But the film itself lacks significant coverage. Also per nom. —usernamekiran (talk) 12:14, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Substantial claims of notability, but only cited to IMDB or not at all. Turkey Film Festival is a redlink, so no evidence even the claimed award for a film in which she had a role is of uncertain notability for the film, let alone that it propagates as notability for her.

Delete: I can't find any other film or TV credits besides the one mentioned in the article, and that film doesn't seems all that notable anyway. The article claims that she has worked in theatre, but there is no source to confirm that, nor could I find any; but if others can, I will certainly take that on board. She seems to be more of a social media influencer than an actress, with 112,000 followers on Instagram. I don't think she meets the standards for an actress, but maybe others have different views regarding her notability as an influencer. Dflaw4 (talk) 07:45, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. Reasonable editors appear to differ on exactly whether this article passes the WP:NACTOR criterion or other more general ones. No strong consensus either way really develops; and given the general agreement that the overall notability of this actor potentially hinges significantly on an upcoming production, it seems like this disagreement can potentially be settled by a renomination in a few months time if this does not bring significant reliable-source coverage. ~ mazca ^talk 15:14, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable child actor falls short of WP:NACTOR besides being known for his role as Boyle's son on the comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine and his upcoming role as Pauley Perrette's character's son on the upcoming show Broke.

Weak Keep: Taking into account his upcoming role in Broke (2020 TV series), I think he might just scrape through with WP:NACTOR. In terms of WP:GNG, he is mentioned in a lot of articles, including Deadline Hollywood, and there are a couple of articles dedicated just to him, although they seem to be local news (in San Antonio). So while it may be WP:TOOSOON, and while NACTOR and GNG may be borderline, I'd be willing to let this article stand and give it a chance.Dflaw4 (talk) 10:51, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, fails WP:GNG and it is a type of WP:TOOSOON. He has done only few roles so far and his career will rise in near future. Abishe (talk) 01:53, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I don't understand the TOOSOON argument; he's got a main cast role in a CBS sitcom that premieres two months from now. Abishe says that "his career will rise in near future", so what's the point of deleting the page in February and re-creating it again in April? -- Toughpigs (talk) 21:04, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I'm a proponent that Wikipedia should remain as consistent as we can reasonably be. This means that if we're close enough that an article on the TV series is allowed, then it's logical to count it for an actor's notability determination. So that's half way there, then its his other performances and the determination of "substantial". Given that there is coverage on him in different roles, I'm going to fall the way of Keep on it.

2020 Ghent stabbing

Delete, I wish editors would keep in mind WP:NORUSH for these things. Within an hour of the article being created false information was presented that included a "terrorist incident" and a comment "reported by eye witnesses to be of "a dark skin colour". [70] This is concerning and should be concerning to editors out there who want to maintain Wikipedia's quality standards. The article was rushed to be made with the assumption that this was going to be some huge terrorist incident which it was clearly not. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:44, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Grrrr!! I agree with you here Knowledgekid87! I am very concerned by this article! Whoever copy and pasted over the Streatham stabbing's current events template and forgot to remove the part stating "recent terrorist incident" is a bigoted racist and also a neo-nazi and also that perfectly valid comment "reported by eye witnesses to be of "a dark skin colour" [71] is a clear sign that this editor is a white supremacist and was definitely not just quoting news pages that were clearly pointing to islamic terrorism in their articles on the description of the attacker before they were identified!! Grrrrr! I really am angry I am! I am also very concerned by this! This article goes against WP:CONCERNING! And also WP:NONEONAZIS as well as WP:NORACISM! ANGRYYY!! Bye guys I am now going to go and edit 1000s of grammar mistakes using my bot for probably 17 hours straight to get myself up to the next service ribbon because I need more clout on my user page since it represents who I am because I can't go outside or else people would make fun of me!!

- Are you suggesting that it is somehow racist for somebody to think that the first hint of melanin makes a stabbing "encyclopedic"? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 18:33, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, I am, Andreas Philopater. This user is trying to spread racist white-supremacist messages across Wikipedia and I WON'T PUT UP WITH IT. I am very concerned that the quote "reported by eye witnesses to be of "a dark skin colour"" [72] was included in the article and I believe that this has no right to be in the article, nor be the entire subject of it which it clearly is. This quote, also used by the racist Belgian media who are all nazis, was also the reason this racist editor believed this stabbing was worthy of an article when it first appeared in the news and not because it was a quadruple stabbing that happened just hours after the Streatham stabbing meaning it could have possibly been orchestrated by the same group, like the nazi propaganda media suggested, and it is clear that this quote wasn't added because racist neo-nazi news articles were suggesting that this was also another islamic extremest attack by adding the quote in the first place to their own articles (I mean god! The only reason they included it was because everybody cares a lot about what skin colour the attacker was!), and so this editor is an absolute bigot who should be jailed because they believed what was in the news article they read – that this attack could have possibly been another islamic extremest attack like the one that had happened hours before, and so without knowing this 100%, added the quote from the article to subtly usher this possibility before anything had been confirmed, before getting outright bored with the topic and leaving it to be deleted. Grrrr!! I am FUMING!!! And YOU yes YOU should be too! Kind regards and yours faithfully + sincerely, TheBestEditorInEngland (talk) 19:34, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - It's especially strange that it's included in the article but apparently not in the source cited. The only source for it I can find is Russia Today, which is oddly not cited in the article. Perhaps you are right to be concerned about the article's quality. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 21:45, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - Even more strange is the fact that the article creator, TheBestEditorInEngland, made the edits introducing the then-reported (HLN subsequently changed its article content) suspect's skin colour [73] as well as the unsourced terror allegations [74] [75]. Meanwhile, any link with terrorism is again said to be excluded [76] and the suspect is sent to a forensic psychiatrist [77]. Wakari07 (talk) 00:33, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I cannot find anything other than routine news coverage of the incident, so it fails WP:NOTNEWS. No lasting impact.-- P-K3 (talk) 18:07, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above, it's an unremarkable event. BTW why is this AFD listed under "Disability related"? I came here from WikiProject Disability's alerts, but I find nothing relevant in the article. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:12, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dodger67: I'm guessing its the reference to "voices in her head", but I agree that's a pretty 1950s usage of "disability" ——SN 54129 11:49, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep According to a Breitbart article on the day of the attack which also (correctly) noticed that the woman is "dark-skinned", this "story is developing..." but the far-right publication stopped developing it when it didn't suit their taste anymore. Her lawyer now says, according to an update article, that the 26-year-old S.C. is from Haitian origin. An adopted child, she started to develop a dislike for her Belgian adoptive family, tried to commit suicide and landed in an institution. Planning to ask money for a project she wanted to start, she rang the doorbell of her former home in the Oranjeboomstraat, where her brother openend, smiling. From that point on, she is said to have lost all memory. She stabbed him with a knife. Then, she rang at other doors in the Korte Rijakkerstraat. When the neighbour of a friend opened the door, she was stabbed as well. Driving away, she noticed a police car and, irrationally thinking that her life was over, she decided that she wanted to die from a police bullet. She then stabbed passers-by in the Bevrijdingslaan, where the story was picked up by world media: i24News, The National, AFP via New Straits Times, DPA via the Weekend Australian, Times of Malta, Metro UK, ... Her arrest was confirmed by the council chamber on Friday. Is there a policy that says such an incident needs to be labeled as terrorism in order to acquire WP:Notability? Wakari07 (talk) 14:39, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Wakari07 If various newspapers each separately wrote their own articles about the topic, that would contribute to notability, but when it's the same story (usually by a news agency such as AFP in this case) simply being repeated by multiple publications, they all count as just one source. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:26, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Roger, I noted the agencies. There's the full Agence France-Presse article via New Straits Times, the full Deutsche Presse-Agentur article via the Weekend Australian (which cites Belga) and four other articles: i24 News cites no agencies, The National cites HLN and AFP, Metro cites HLN, and Times of Malta cites local media, AFP and HLN. Associated Press also cited the event in their article on the London stabbing as a side note: AP via Stars and Stripes, AP News. All Belgian media have their own reporting too, but that's generally behind a paywall for me and the public info has little which is not given in the publicly available articles of Het Laatste Nieuws. Wakari07 (talk) 15:54, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wakari07 Perhaps WP:WikiProject Belgium might be able to help you with accessing paywalled sources. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:07, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of Rugrats characters. Take out all the plot summary, and you're left with a simple development fact (whom the character was named after) and a couple one sentence bits of reception. There is no significant coverage. The source dump on the article there and above is not providing any real in-depth source on the character- they mention the character in context of the show but not enough for notability. It is wrong to think "hugely popular show, thus should be a notable character" since notability is not inherited. --Masem (t) 05:57, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Rugrats characters per Masem. Also, the LoC is tagged for so many problems, it's better to cleanup and develop the characters from there, instead of allowing crufty spinoff articles that make the problem even worse. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:25, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It seems every day lately there are a multitude of articles about fictional content being PRODed or nominated for deletion, and I assume a good faith effort is made to search for significant coverage in reliable sources to establish whether a subject passed WP:GNG before such deletions are proposed. In this case, I believe this subject clearly passes this standard, with coverage going far beyond even the sources Toughpigs has idenrified above. Any comments about the quality of the article is a good argument for improving it, not deleting it. — Hunter Kahn 12:03, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Per Masem and others. Dumping sources does not prove WP:SIGCOV meriting its own article._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 12:06, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - The character list should be built up before any consideration for individual articles is made. It's most probable that the character article can hold everything real world about the characters while providing enough fictional context that an article is not needed. TTN (talk) 12:09, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've expanded the article very slightly just to demonstrate that there is more to this character/article than mere plot summary. Please note this is only based on a very few of the sources that cover this character (I didn't even include all the sources Toughpig shared, let alone the multitude of others out there) but I think it already has enough that it warrants a standalone article rather than an disproportionately long list entry. I may try to expand it further in the future, if time permits... — Hunter Kahn 13:33, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- If we use Characters of Carnivàle as the standard of what character articles should aspire to become, then it seem unlikely that the character needs a separate article. That's especially true considering that not many characters will even have a depth of real world info. TTN (talk) 13:46, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Huh, interesting article, I'd actually never seen that one. Though, FA or not, it looks like Ben Hawkins and Brother Justin Crowe can and probably should be made into their own standalone articles, with their specific entries on the list reduced and a template added linking to their main articles. Maybe I'll look into that in the future, but regardless, what another article looks like or doesn't look like doesn't pertain to this discussion, per WP:OTHER. I still think there is signicant enough coverage of Tommy Pickles to pass WP:GNG, and enough content out there that has yet to be added to this article that goes beyond plot summary, and that it should be kept. — Hunter Kahn 14:09, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Hunter Kahn: Spinning out these characters would unfeature Wikipedia:Featured topics/Carnivàle, in which case I'll make sure myself that the spin-out editor either takes them through the WP:GA process or de-spinouts them to re-feature the topic. Featured topics is what all of en.wiki's coverage should strive towards, and should not be destroyed to justify poor articles like Tommy here. – sgeureka ^t•c 14:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - @Sgeureka: Please don't misunderstand, I'm not going to go over and start hacking up that article, especially not just to make a WP:POINT. And even if I did want to change it, I'd certainly discuss it with the primary author of the FA and start a talk page discussion to establish a WP:CONSENSUS before attempting to make major changes to an FA. In any case, I have no intention of doing any of that right now. :) — Hunter Kahn 14:58, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        How this article compares to a Featured Article is not super relevant to the question of notability. I believe what we're addressing is WP:GNG, which is a much lower standard. -- Toughpigs (talk) 03:53, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've just done a fairly significant overhaul of this article (for comparison purposes, here's the article before the AFD, and here's the version after my edits). I've tried to add sourcing for everything that was in the article, while also restructuring it, rewriting it so it's no longer from an in-universe perspective, and scaling back some of the fancruft and excessive plot summary. (Please note there are still some sections that are unsourced, particularly related to All Grown Up!, so additional work can still be done in the future. I got tired and had to go to bed. lol) I'd like to point out that since I was focused primarily on adding reliable sources to information already in the article, not all of these sources speak about Tommy in significant lengths of time; some are more about Rugrats itself but are used to cite specific facts about Tommy. However, many of these articles do provide significant coverage to the character, and I think this expansion goes a long way toward demonstrating that Tommy Pickles clearly meets WP:GNG and the standalone article is warranted and shouldn't be deleted. I'll also hasten to add that the sources I've added are NOT the only sources about Tommy Pickles out there, and others could still be added to improve this article even further down the road... — Hunter Kahn 06:04, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Masem, sgeureka, Zxcvbnm and TTN, since you previously voted Merge/Redirect based on the article pre-expansion, or cited the poor quality of the article, I wanted to ping you to see if your opinion has changed given the state of the article now? — Hunter Kahn 06:06, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Over half the reception section is about the full cast, so that shows a clear lack of individual attention. I’m not sure if a free-floating, ever shifting ranking could ever be used as a reliable source. Other than those, the blurb about the film is a trivial momentary comparison that has no reason being in the article. That’s the most important section, but it’s not in good enough shape to show the character has potential. The rest of the information in the article can easily be split between a character list and the main series article when relevant to overall development. TTN (talk) 11:14, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks TTN. I know in the past I've said you never seem to change your opinion in deletion debates once you've made up your mind, so I genuinely appreciate you taking a second look. I do feel like you're giving a little undue weight to the Reception section alone, which is one I didn't even really bother expanding much because I figured it would be the easiest for someone else to do in the future. Anyone can dump a bunch of reviews into a Reception section, whereas other non-plot sections like Conception and Portrayal are often harder to do if a character is not notable, so sections like that always struck me as more important than Reception. But in any event, thanks for looking it over, and I would urge you to consider that many of the other sources outside of Reception provide much more significant coverage to the character. — Hunter Kahn 12:38, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think what ultimately really matters here is the reception section, since without WP:SIGCOV the article does not need to be standalone. The first sentence is a listicle, so I wouldn't hold that up as a good source since they can really just look desperately for anything to fill their writing quota. The second is a brief, one sentence mention that does not actually concern the character himself. And so on and so forth. None of them discuss the traits of the character in detail or give critical opinions, only stating basic facts about the character. My opinion definitely stands as merge/redirect._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 17:43, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - I will try to expand the Reception section in the next few days, since it seems I massively underestimated the importance of it and hadn't really put any work into it. But, even if we were to stipulate that the Reception section is currently lacking, and the Character History section should be ignored altogether when considering notability (which isn't something I agree with in any case), do the other non-Reception sections that discuss this character like Conception and Portrayal not indicate WP:SIGCOV in combination with the article's other elements? I know it's subjective, but just seems sort of surprising to me that you guys still don't think this article subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources. UPDATE: I've expanded the Reception section a bit in response to the commentary here, though I suspect further sources can be found for additional expansions down the road... — Hunter Kahn 19:37, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - According to WP:NEXIST and WP:ARTN as I understand them, notability is not dependent on the current state of the article, or frantic changes made with a ticking time-bomb deadline. WP:NEXIST says:
        Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article.

If there are enough sources in existence that show that Tommy Pickles is a notable subject, then the article should be improved, rather than deleted. Similarly, WP:ARTN says:

Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article... If the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability.

So, Hunter Kahn: I don't believe that you need to knock yourself out trying to rewrite the article to other people's individual specifications right now. There is no deadline. AfD is not an article improvement drive, and if people posting on this page are concerned about the quality of writing on this article, then they should channel that concern into making helpful improvements to the article. For this discussion, the relevant question is: do reliable sources exist that talk about this character directly and in detail? -- Toughpigs (talk) 01:20, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP As I mentioned in the last AFD for this, a major newspaper said at the time: "Tommy Pickles is a bigger star than George Clooney". I look at the reception section and wonder why this is even at AFD again? Reliable sources give significant coverage of him, just look at Tommy_Pickles#Reception and read through that! Dream Focus 19:14, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The nomination just cites an essay and so there's no case to answer. As the previous AfD was a "keep" and the nomination clearly states that this repeat nomination is being made simply in the hope of getting a different result, the nominator should be warned not to repeat this disruption per WP:DELAFD which states "It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hope of getting a different outcome." Andrew🐉(talk) 20:42, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep enough reliable sources are mentioned now. The article has changed a lot since its nomination. Now the Conception, Portrayal and Reception are mentioned. There are enough reliable sources and there is enough information that is not just plot. The article should be kept. --Dynara23 (talk) 06:23, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I think the article now shows that there is enough coverage in reliable, third-party sources to meet the WP:GNG criteria. Aoba47 (talk) 03:30, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, MAYBE selectively merge The coatrack-y line The Detroit News writer [sic] positively reviewed all the Rugrats baby characters but gave particular praise to Tommy writing: "Ya gotta love 'em, especially leader Tommy Pickles"., sourced to a film review of Rugrats Go Wild, basically sums up everything wrong with this article. The reliably sourced information that relates to this specific topic appears to be almost exclusively in-universe plot content. One could make an OSE argument that Wikipedia has lots of fictional kids' show character articles that are even worse than this one but haven't been deleted/redirected yet, but that would be a weak argument even if any of the above keep !voters were making it.

Looking at the history I see that a lot of the problematic content has apparently been added by said keep !voters since this AFD was opened; their poor conduct and Wikipedia editing standards are not in themselves a reason to disregard their !votes, but they should be weighted accordingly (I don't know what was added by whom, nor do I care to find out, so I won't name names). Moreover, the last two keep !votes by Dynara23 and Aoba47 explicitly cite the addition of this problematic content as reasons to keep this article, so I would encourage any closure to take this fact into account when weighing their comments.

Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 06:32, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The above is an extremely misleading and inaccurate (not to mention at least mildly insulting statement.) This is the version of the page before the AFD began compared to this, the version at the time that you voted. As anyone could see, the vast majority of additions are not exclusively in-universe plot content. On the contrary, that's what the majority of the previous version of the article was; much of it has been scaled back, and sources have been added to most of what remains. Rather than plot, the majority of the new additions are rather detailed sections about such aspects of the character as its conception, portrayal, and reception, all of which are cited by reliable sources. (Your claim that you "don't care" to find what was added by whom indicates perhaps you haven't reviewed this article's edit history very thoroughly, so perhaps you misunderstood the nature of the additions?) And incidentally, your statement that one "could" make an OSE claim is a straw man argument, because nobody has made that argument. The argument is that this article is cited by reliable sources that indicate significant coverage of the topic, which indicates that it passes WP:GNG. — Hunter Kahn 13:23, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The relationship between these two countries doesn't seem to be one of the most significant bilateral relationships for either of them. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:12, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, no actual rationale for deletion has been provided, and the article clearly fulfills multiple encyclopedic functions. In addition, to respond to this boilerplate nom in the spirit in which it was posted, I will once again note that this nom, like many others on AfD, is based on a fundamental misreading of WP:GNG, which states the conditions under which notability (i.e. appropriateness as an article topic) is presumed. To claim that a "failure" to meet the GNG means that non-notability is presumed is to flip the guideline on its head. The GNG does not provide grounds for deletion. In particular, in this case, such an article makes sense (i.e. the topic is "notable", whether or not a handful of AfD habitués deem it "significant") because it makes far more sense to assign encyclopedic information about Nicaragua-Switzerland relations to a single article than to duplicate it in separate Nicaragua and Switzerland articles. -- Visviva (talk) 06:20, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

rationale is it fails WP:GNG for lack of third party sources. Have you actually found any sources to back your vote? LibStar (talk) 06:24, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I was too wordy, so let me try again. The guideline you cite does not support your claim. AfD is not cleanup. If you want to permanently erase the hard work of other editors, you need to make a better case than this. -- Visviva (talk) 17:17, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You probably oppose deletion of any article. WP:HARDWORK is not a reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 00:54, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, (at least) based on my research, such topic (relationship between two mentioned countries) cannot be in a remarkable/acceptable degree of importance to have an independent page, and does't have sufficient independent sources to support it ... presumably, at most it might can be included/merged into other relevant pages. Ali Ahwazi (talk) 10:38, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Financial Times reported on his moving jobs, which suggests he's significant[79] and also describes him as one of "FT Alphaville favourites"[80].
