Brendan Hunt (activist)

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

Fails notability, and mostly self published/cited sources e.g 100+ films he starred in are mostly Youtube links. He's featured in one Salon article Shushugah (talk) 23:01, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Reviewing the sources, there's virtually nothing to go on. The Salon article is the only one of note. The company that he owns, xrayultra.com, appears inactive/dead (no updates to the site in a year), and isn't apparently notable either. The claims of "His work has been profiled by Salon Magazine and many other media outlets around the globe." do not stand up to scrutiny. Ok, he's an actor. But, there's nothing to go on to begin to pass WP:NACTOR. Ok, he's an activist, but there's precious little to suggest him being a notable activist other than the Salon article (which is not enough by itself). Is he a musician? I can't find anything to suggest he's ever released any music. With the Salon article being apparently the only article where he is anything more than a passing reference, WP:GNG isn't met either. Of note; the original article was created by an account back in 2014 whose only edit was to create the article. They've not edited since. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:08, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bencino Carmine

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

Biography of an actor who does not meet WP:NACTOR nor WP:GNG. He had one role that may have been fairly major per [1], in one season of a TV series (but not in earlier or subsequent seasons), and apart from that only a number of minor roles. Note that he has apparently changed his name recently, so earlier work is as Benny (or Benjamin) Ciaramello. bonadea contributions talk 12:38, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep searching the 2nd version of his name I found coverage of his role as Santiago on Friday Night Lights and listings of other major roles in various sources. Seems to meet wp:actor. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:46, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which other major roles? As I pointed out above, the Friday Night Lights show might be considered major (albeit borderline, as he was only in one season of the show and apparently not one of the main characters in that season either), but as you know, WP:NACTOR specifies multiple significant roles. The other roles mentioned in the article are not major or significant. It would also be great if you listed the sources here (or, even better, added them to the article) since "There are sources" is not a particularly compelling argument when those sources are not identified. --bonadea contributions talk 10:18, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~Weak Delete (see discussion below) ~~Searching for "Benny Ciaramello" seems to return a number of results on film sites like IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and AlloCiné. There are also news articles published on the man.~~ Hickland (talk) 03:57, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes are not useful for the purpose of establishing notability as they contain mainly user generated content. I have checked all three websites you mention but can't find anything other than trivial listings of the person. The deadline.com link you added here is also a trivial mention, it is neither a news article nor an article about him. --bonadea contributions talk 10:18, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(sorry for the late reply, this slipped under my radar) I agree that the subject does not meet the criteria outlined in WP:NACTOR. I also suppose that Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb are not reliable sources, and in the absence of any other reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject, I concede. How can I change my vote?

@Hickland: - sorry that no-one came along to answer the question. The usual method is to strikethrough your original answer with <s>Keep/Delete/Merge etc</s> and put in a new answer next to it (i.e. in the same bold answer bit). It is probably worth indenting a comment below explaining that you've changed your vote. Some people strike through the entirety of their comment and add a new !vote at the bottom.

Got it, thanks :) Hickland (talk) 19:04, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - the strictness of WP:NACTOR with (multiple) major roles needed is sufficient to warrant the deletion of the article, though things like Secrets and Lies gets a small (large mentions in effect) coverage for his recurring roles. We may (or may not) also get some coverage via the production coverage work in the near future (lots of mentions of existence, no real bits yet). Therefore I'd say a weak delete with no prejudice against recreation once we get a couple of better sources. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:38, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The four references for this blogger, though reliable, are either incidental mentions or not WP:INDEPENDENT. A BEFORE search was difficult given how common the name is, however, nothing jumped out. There is nothing in the content of the article that would indicate notability, either inherent or general, and it is largely a collection of his personal denouncements and grievances against various individuals, including questionably WP:BLP claims of incitement to murder.

African Americans in Alabama

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

Wikipedia does not need a one sentence stub on the topic. It is a plausible topic, so can be redirected to African Americans, Demographics of Alabama or another article, but at the moment such a short article is not adding anything that cannot go in somewhere else.

Keep: Not a good rationale for deletion. Many articles start up as stubs which are then improved and added to. We do not delete articles just because they are stubs - provided they are notable and supported by RS in detail - which they are in this case, see here and [2]. We have articles about White people in Kenya, White people in Zimbabwe, White people in Zambia, etc. Should we start deleting them too? This article is very notable because according to the ref, African Americans make up the second largest population in that state. Most importantly, this was a slave state with gruesome treatment of slaves. Right up to the present, African Americans are the object of scorn and racial prejudice among White Americans. From a historical perspective this article can be greatly improved and deserves a stand alone article independent of African Americans and Demographics of Alabama. The African Americans in Alabama as well as African Americans in Mississippi have a unique history. I would like to see both improved. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 16:42, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Being a stub is not a reason for deletion. I added some references. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:09, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Having articles for certain demographics in certain areas is common, and articles that are related to other articles don't need to be deleted or merged if they reliably expand upon the information. Additionally, being a stub is not a valid reason for deletion. Nanophosis (talk) 22:59, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I was concerned with the initial comparable articles given in the first comment, but the last one works well as well as numerous others. Beyond a WP:OTHER argument there are clearly plenty of sources that can be found in a rapid BEFORE check. Without an actual argument being advanced by the nom, it seems both difficult and pointless to challenge on other grounds. Nosebagbear (talk) 10:55, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is a strong, compelling history of African Americans in Alabama. There are innumerable sources to fill this article. Indeed, the entire civil rights movement can not be discussed without discussing African Americans in Alabama and their impact on civil rights. There are also innumerable notable people from Alabama that should be on this article; Charlayne Hunter-Gault, Herbert Carter (pilot), Marva Collins, Jesse Owens, U. W.

Geometrothermodynamics

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

This novel hypothesis does not seem to have gained any attention in the scientific community. The sources that directly mention this are either primary and unpublished (ie confined to preprint servers), and the others are just background material unrelated to the topic. Reyk _YO! 11:17, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, I don't think it is true that this has not got any peer reviewed attention. There are many published papers in both mathematical and physics journals. Mostly, they bear Quevedo's name or his colleagues, but there are some that appear to be entirely independent:
- Janke1, Johnston and Kenna, "Geometrothermodynamics of the Kehagias–Sfetsos black hole"
- Han and Chen, "Thermodynamics, geometrothermodynamics and critical behavior of (2+1)-dimensional black holes"

In this book

- Carroll, On The Emergence Theme Of Physics

the three-page section "Unified Legendre forms" appears to be entirely about geometrothermodynamics. Although the name does not appear until half-way down the first page, the paper ([26]) referenced at the beginning of the section as the subject of the section is one of Quevedo's papers. I find this book,

- Bellucci, Breaking of Supersymmetry and Ultraviolet Divergences in Extended

particularly telling. Although it can hardly be said to show WP:N (it only refers to a Quevedo paper ("Geometrothermodynamics of black holes") in a footnote without mentioning geometrothermodynamics or Quevedo by name, and then only to criticise the claim that Legendre transformations do not hold for black hole thermodynamics) it does show that the author thought the paper notable enough that he needed to respond to it.

There's currently a dispute whether Vitals is a website or a company. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be notable enough to be the subject of an encyclopedia article.

Hi, it is the first time I participate in these discussions, I understand that I can leave my comment here.

You are right in reference 1, which is a production of Madison with which I support the claim that she has a daughter. But when I use the interviews as references, I only use the introduction to each interview, which is the word of the author, not the interviewee's - for example, references 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 -. They are reliable media and besides supporting the affirmations of the article, I understand that they serve to demonstrate that she has a wide media coverage.

Reference 5 is a third party that supports the claim that she interviewed Amanda Bynes.

References 6 and 7 are videos that support the claim that she interviewed Charlotte Mckinney.

Regarding reference 8, I moved it to the right place. But it is the same case of the interviews mentioned.

Reference 11 is a third party.

Reference 12 is an interview - by quotations - that I used to demonstrate her notability as a producer.

In summary: I have read that interviews are considered primary sources, but I understood that if I use what the author of the interview says, not her, they are useful, and even more if they are reliable media.

Sorry if there is any error in my assessments.--BelleBenny (talk) 04:21, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

almost always, the introductory section to an interview of this sort is based on a promotional bio submitted from the person being interviewed, orwritten or suggested by the PR agent who arranged fro the interview. It has no more reliability than the blurbs for books on Amazon, which are also written or at least organized by PR agents. DGG ( talk ) 05:16, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Then, about notability, I must understand that it is not enough that those media - which are known and trusted - have decided to interview or talk about Madison? It is true that most of them are interviews, but does not their existence show that the subject is notable? Should I understand that an interview is almost never an independent coverage? For example, does not an interview in People.com have the same value as an article in the same site?

About using the introductions to those interviews, I did it to assert objective facts: what companies did she create, or what programs did she produce. If it is not useful, which other source can I use to corroborate that Madison, for example, has produced a reality show with Kardashian??--BelleBenny (talk) 22:52, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree with DGG on his assessment of the sourcing, and searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to show they pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:55, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This subject passes WP:GNG for significant coverage in reliable, independent sources.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Her show Glam Masters (which she is the executive producer of) is a reality beauty competition show on Lifetime that she does with Kim Kardashian. Along with producing a beauty show, the article in the Insider literally has the title (referring to Diana Madison), "Kim Kardashian's makeup artists are so famous that people are fighting to join her glam squad" which I think is an indicator that Madison is extremely notable for her profession. Someone mentioned that interviews don't count to establish notability. There is nothing about interviews on WP:PERSON or WP:N, which are the official guidelines on notability. Lonehexagon (talk) 18:26, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your argument amounts to some combination of a/, that anyone associated with Kim Kardashan is notable c/the executive producer of a show on a famous person is inherently notable. c/headlines saying someone is famous mean that someone is famous--(I note that headlines are not written by the author or the article). d/hyperbolic statements in press releases are to be taken literally. ``

I feel that's a mischaracterization of my vote. My argument is that the subject passes WP:GNG due to significant discussion in secondary sources.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Lonehexagon (talk) 02:43, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: sources in the article and offered at this AfD are passing mentions and WP:SPIP, such as interviews, which are not suitable for determining notability. Does not meet WP:ANYBIO based on a review of available sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:43, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Then, an article in People is useful, but an inteview in People is not useful? Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Interviews I understand that they can not be discarded automatically. Do you suggest that all references are paid or part of an advertising campaign?

Delete subjects fails WP:ENT, as the sources cited by the article are for the most part mentions in passing. Note that while Madison is an interviewer, she does not (per WP:NOTINHERITED) derive notability from famous persons she has interviewed.--SamHolt6 (talk) 03:21, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Tentatively. Seems kind of technical, and useful as a reference (e.g. for the inbound links from a few biographical articles), and not promotional. To me it seems reasonable for this to be split out of the too-long Notary public article. Note there is a lot of coverage about notaries in Wikipedia, I am surprised to see articles split out for Notary public (Florida), etc. I agree that the amount of coverage included is marginal, but it would be okay to include in the Notary public article, and then we have no basis to disallow it being split out. Perhaps it could be expanded/renamed to cover all notary public associations, heading off creation of articles. --Doncram (talk) 00:36, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Clear failure of WP:NPOL. Prod removed with an explanation that coverage of his mayoral tenure in the Indianapolis Business Journal somehow creates a NPOL pass for a long term mayor of a midsize Indianapolis suburb. If after 14 years as a mayor, nothing more than local coverage of his tenure can be shown, he's not notable. None is shown, and I found none. John from Idegon (talk) 07:14, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I did not say it necessarily made it pass. I said it was possible he would meet the criteria. I haven't done outside searching at this point, but the fact that there was a profile in a state level paper indicates that there might be enough sourcing. Please assume good faith and do not be dismissive of other editors with your tone. matt91486 (talk) 13:58, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A couple of sources I've found that seem to go beyond trivial coverage at the Indianapolis Star: [17], [18], [19], [20], [21]. This should not be considered definitive, as it's just from one source, and it seems their website search goes back only until the beginning of 2015, so I will try to do some more substantial digging later. matt91486 (talk) 14:35, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No one said he didn't make GNG. That is not enough. He has to meet NPOL. That would certainly take more than anything from the Star. Either his political career must have garnered coverage in detail from outside Metro Indianapolis, or he makes GNG for another reason outside of politics. John from Idegon (talk) 14:52, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that's a misinterpretation, as GNG is the primary criteria for all notability. A mayor of a 5,000 person town could theoretically meet the GNG and be notable. matt91486 (talk) 23:10, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Since every mayor of everywhere always gets local media coverage, every mayor of everywhere would always get to claim passage of GNG as an exemption from having to clear NPOL. So no, NPOL is not irrelevant just because a couple of local media sources happen to exist — for mayors of small towns and cities the GNG test is not "does some local media coverage of him exist?", because it never doesn't, but "do the volume, depth and/or geographic range of his sourceability demonstrate a reason why he would qualify as a special case?" Bearcat (talk) 18:36, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete GNG overrides NPOL. NPOL would assume notability in a lot of instances. What NPOL does is helps distinguish which coverage is significant versus coverage which is not significant, since any local politician will always have local news stories about the local politics they are involved in. The significant coverage test for local politicians, on the WP:NPOL page, is multiple feature articles in multiple sources, which doesn't appear to be the case for Mr. Ditslear, at least not on the sources shown. SportingFlyer talk 21:06, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A handful more sources about his elections/campaigns are here: [22], [23], [24], [25], [26]. Again, I don't think any one of these is definitive necessarily, but they do supplement what is in the article (and I think at least is worthy of having a discussion in AfD rather than PROD, regardless of the outcome). I would agree with SportingFlyer, that only the IBS article in the existing article would fully qualify as a quote-unquote feature article about him, likely. matt91486 (talk) 23:10, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being mayor of a suburb is not an automatic free pass over NPOL just because he exists, but the article is not referenced well enough to actually make him notable under WP:GNG. A couple of pieces of coverage in the local media is not enough to get a mayor over the bar in and of itself, because every mayor of everywhere could always show that — in a city this size, the sourceability and substance of the article has to add up to "this mayor is a special case over and above most small-city mayors", not just "this mayor exists", to get him over the bar. GNG is not automatically passed the moment the number of sources in an article exceeds two, and it is not necessarily passed by purely local coverage that's simply expected to exist for all mayors — so showing a few pieces of Indianapolis-based coverage is not enough in and of itself.

@HighKing: editors hsve mentioned specific sources used, particularly the Economic Times, so I think you're inaccurate in saying the Keep folks have made no argument, while you yourself have not stated *why* ET articles are not intellectually independent. MatthewVanitas (talk) 00:45, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MatthewVanitas, some the responses above demonstrate a clear lack of awareness of the criteria for establishing notability which can be found at WP:NCORP. The argument is not whether the *source* meets the criteria as a reliable secondary source. The argument is whether the specific article in question is "intellectually independent". It is not possible to examine whether a specific article is intellectually independent and meets the other criteria for establishing notabilty if there is no link to a specific article. All that has occurred to date are editors saying that the Economic Times is a good source. I'm sure it is. But that's not the test. Of the ET references within the article, this one fails WP:ORGIND and/or WP:CORPDEPTH as it relies exclusively on an interview with Rakyan complete with the usual format of history/aha moment/funding/future plans/glossy posed photos/ (we call this type of article churnalism) and regurgitates company-provided info/data with no independent analysis/opinion and is therefore not intellectually independent. This next ET reference is also not intellectually independent as it relies almost exclusively on quotations and information provided by the company or company officers with not independent analysis/opinion and fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. The celebrity is a regular contributor to the Raw Pressery blog and participates in promotion and endorsement of the product. This next ET reference is another piece of churnalism - history/aha moment/posed photos/funding/future outlook/ and again relies almost exclusive on interiew/quotations from Rakyan and peppered with quotations from partners and one non-notable commentator. It is not intellectually independent and fails WP:ORGIND and/or WP:CORPDEPTH. This final reference from ET is based on a company announcement and fails WP:ORGIND. None of the other references are intellectually independent either as is clear from an understanding of WP:NCORP and specifically WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH HighKing⁺⁺ 13:21, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As an Austrian who remembers the time when the EAV was popular: no. This is not a guy who used to be a figure of public life and merely wasn't talked about much by the kind of sources that Wikipedia relies on. This is a guy who nobody has ever heard of. de-Wiki is not in fact happy to have this stub; Mr Hammerl fails their notability criteria for band members with a vengeance and the page would be gone in a heartbeat if anyone cared to draw their attention to it. Kramler (talk) 13:52, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If you are Austrian, I take it you speak German? Why don't you alter the German Wikipedia people then and get the article deleted there? I've always said that the different language versions of Wikipedia are simply for thiose who speak those languages, no other diffence! Therefore if it allowed on the German version, it should be allowed here on the English version. Get it removed from the German version and the English deletion will make more sense! Also I am English and I wasn't born until after Mr Hammerl took his own life but I know he was there is the very early days before EAV became popular which was about five years later when they peaked at number 68 in the UK charts with "Ba Ba Bankrobbery". This does not mean he does not deserve an article. Mr Hammerl was clearly part of what the band is today and without him, things may well have been different. ˜˜˜˜

Reply. You are correct on both counts: I do speak German; Mr Hammerl had been dead for five years by the time the EAV became notable. Kramler (talk) 04:33, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reply. If you don't feel this article is notable why don't you alert the German Wikipedia people to get it deleted there? Seems strange we have two German speakers involved in this discussion for this article to be removed but no-one is arguing against the German version of it, despite being fully able to do so! Please also see my comments below. Cexycy (talk) 11:37, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect There does not appear to any evidence that he had done anything significant outside of EAV, and individual members of band without significance outside the band are normally redirected to the band per WP:MUSICBIO. However, if attempts at removing the redirect persist, then I'd suggest delete and salt. Hzh (talk) 14:09, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Usually experienced people get chosen as managers. Why would he be chosen as the EAV manager if he was inexperienced? The article should not be a redirected if there is an article which exists, otherwise what is the point of the article being there? That's just rude. What do you mean by salt anyway? ˜˜˜˜

...could you please just realize that decisions about whether an article is kept or not are made based on explicit, written Wikipedia guidelines, the most pertinent one of which has already been cited multiple times - WP:MUSICBIO (or WP:BAND - same target). Rudeness, or what goes on at deWP, doesn't enter into it. (I'm German too, btw) - Salting is a form of creation protection that prevents the article from being reinstated if there is concern that people will not abide by deletion consensus. Hopefully that won't be necessary. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:38, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This debate has gone off the rails a bit with the unsigned comments (by User:Cexycy). It does not matter that Walter Hammerl has an article in German WP because notability there is not evidence of notability elsewhere. (In other words, our WP here has many articles on regionally notable American bands who have coverage in their city's media, but that does not automatically make them notable in Germany.) It also does not matter that he was a good or experienced manager. Alas, he has received little or no media coverage as an individual. If his work with Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung has been covered in reliable media sources, there is no problem discussing it in the group's article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:05, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment You just made a big mistake! There is no Germany Wikipedia, there is a German language version. Big difference! If a band is notable in the USA and they have an article, an article in German should be available for those wishing to read it. I know EAV have done poorly in English speaking countries and some would even say they are not notable there however people like myself may wish to read them. Therefore it really matters not where someone comes from, what they do or where they were best known, it has no bearing on the languages of the people wishing to read about them. Hence why there are articles in English about all sorts of people like EAV, who were not popular in English speaking countries. Wikipedia appears to be the ONLY source of English language information at the moment. I find it very strange how two German speakers are arguing against this article in the English section. If a subject does not deserve its own article, then why would it be available in one language but not another? By limiting languages you are limiting readers and this is simply NOT what Wikipedia is about. It's about information for all! Cexycy (talk) 18:46, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Response - Personally I disagree with your distinction between a Germany Wikipedia and a German Language Wikipedia, but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that we still have no confirmation of Hammerl's notability as an individual person who qualifies for his own Wikipedia article, in any language. Your concerns about what is available in what language is actually a larger issue for the structure of Wikimedia Foundation at the international level and has little bearing on this particular article under discussion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:09, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Response - As stated before how can someone or something be notable in one language but not another? Therefore why should it exist in one language bit not another? It just doesn't make sense! I also find it a little worrying that you cannot see my point of a difference between Germany and German language Wikipedia. There is a mountain of difference. If we take your approach, it could be argued that EAV related articles should be removed from the English Wikipedia as they are not notable in English speaking countries (as well as countless other non-English notable musicians). As stated before Wikipedia is about providing information to people who want it, whatever language they speak! Cexycy (talk) 11:37, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you knock it off - incredulity does not good arguments make. Have a look at the deWP criteria for band members: [27] - they say the same thing, in fact with more detail (second group of three bullets). As has been pointed out above, dude fails our notability criteria as well as theirs. Apparently no one has gotten round to enforce it over there, but that doesn't mean we have to follow suit. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:01, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fine I will, but I still think it's strange we have at least two German speakers arguing here and not on the German section! I bet EAV have had one or two documentaries made about them, which would have to mention a few things about Mr Hammerl too, which these people may well have seen. Cexycy (talk) 15:54, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - Okay, it looks like merging the two articles would be the best idea. This way what little information known can still be read and no-one misses out. Can't say fairer than that, can we? Cexycy (talk) 15:54, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hammerl's article says he was the band's manager and "occasional" vocalist starting in 1977, but the band's article says that he was actually a member starting in 1978 and does not describe him as being the manager (except briefly in the Line-ups list). Which is correct? Straighten this out at the band's article then the merge can be considered complete because it is the only factual statement to be merged. Then Hammerl's article can be redirected to the band's article or just plain deleted (contingent upon the votes above). ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:58, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to pass WP:NARTIST, and without references, we cannot prove SNG or GNG. An editor added a single reference to a Swedish museum listing the museum's holdings for the artist.

Sending a draft to mainspace with no sources knowing it would be AfD'd is problematic behavior.

@Etothepi: Just a database listing of the museum's holdings of the artist.

Gothenburg Museum of Art at a minimum (see reference in article). I will look for others. Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:10, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The collection of the Gothenburg Museum of Art includes primarily Western art from the 15th century until today, with an emphasis on Nordic artMuseum's About page Sorry, but focusing on Nordic art isn't really inspiring confidence in Notability, it suggests an indiscriminate collecting of Nordic art. Hasteur (talk) 20:17, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

?????? This is a totally crazy way to assess the importance of a museum. A museum focusing on Nordic art can't indicate the significance of a Nordic artist? Then can a museum focusing on contemporary art indicate the significance of a contemporary artist? An impressionist museum, an impressionist artist? Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:28, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A nation/region museum that announces they focus on that nation/region's art suggests a "national" focus and supporting the country's artists. Contemporary art and Impressionist art is a generally accepted category for which there are many museums in many nations/regions. Your equivalence argument is disappointing. Hasteur (talk) 20:48, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

what's disappointing is an AFD nomination that missed the voluminous sources and indications of notability that are now being added to the article.104.163.150.200 (talk) 23:29, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, let's analyze those "contributions" to the article:

Bra böckers lexikon: a Swedish encyclopedia. So a single entry in a encyclopedia of at least 30 thousand entries

Vem är det: a sweedish biographical dictionary. Again, a single entry in at least 30 thousand entries

Nordisk familjebok: A nordic family book (encyclopedia). Same issue as illustrated above.

Svenskt biografiskt lexikon: Sweedish biographical dictionary. Again directory listing.

I'm finding fewer substantial sources than one would expect, but there are many passing references in reliable sources, e.g., Jonsson,Visual paraphrases: Studies in Mass Media Imagery, Vol 1, pp. 20-21; Sharp, Progress of Art in the Century, p 291; Brauer, Rivals and Conspirators, p. 92; Jonson, Nathan Soderblom: Called to Serve, pp. 76-77; The Swedish-American Historical Quarterly, Volume 50, p. 229.

Snow Keep Even before IP 104 helpfully added nine sources, my !vote still would have been "Keep". First: Notability is a property of a topic, not of an article, so presence/absence of sources is irrelevant for notability concerns, and this topic is clearly notable, regardless of what kind of state the article was in. Second: verifiability does not require the inclusion of sources in an article; it merely requires that it is possible to find them. The article was verifiable before any sources were found, it just didn't have any at that point. Mathglot (talk) 22:18, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep—and move to close. The effect of this nomination has been the improvement of the article to a level that could not support deletion. As noted above, the notability of the subject did not depend on the immediate inclusion of sources, just the existence of them. The fact that other Wikipedias contain sourced articles on this subject lends credence to the fact that we would be able to locate and use those sources here as well, which is a totally different topic than directly using the articles hosted on other Wikipedias as sources. AfD is a discussion of the merits of the article subject, and not the actions of any one editor, but if it were, then the actions of the editor who promoted this from a draft weren't improper.

I've struck "Fails WP:V, WP:CRYSTALBALL", as it looks like it has been verified and it was completed in 2015. I'm leaving my !vote as Delete as there is still only one independent, working ref and a short one at that, not really enough for an encyclopedic, NPOV article to be written. That said, significant Chinese skyscrapers are, to me, a suitable subject for the project and I would be happy to change my !vote if two or three more substantial sources were added which contribute more to the page (sources which could address questions like who designed it, who financed it, who are the main tenants, who built it, what it replaced, and so on).

- Keep If it was an article about a living person, I would vote to delete, but this is a historical figure that makes it harder to find sources. I did find content and sources to add the article, and it seems that he was notable within the city for several governmental and other executive roles in the city - as well as a grand king of the Masons. By the way, Bloomington is not a small town. It's the seventh largest city in Indiana.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:35, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thank you very much for adding the sources - this satisfies my WP:V concerns as I had difficulty with my before search (and will start looking at newspapers.com for historical mayors.) However, I'm not going to withdraw the nomination: I still don't think the sourcing is enough for WP:GNG, as the marriage sources are not in-depth and WP:MILL, and the mason sources are substantial but also what you'd expect from the organization - nothing that would make him stand out. I'd like to leave it open to see how others vote. Keep in mind in 1900 Bloomington was only the 34th largest town in Indiana - smaller than Elwood, Brazil and Alexandria - and he was the mayor between 1891-1897, which is one of the problems with our "large enough city" mayoral assumption. SportingFlyer talk 20:57, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment / Question - SportingFlyer He seems more notable than other Bloomington mayors before him. I cleaned up another article, but will stop right now.

  - CaroleHenson I don't think it implies all Bloomington mayors should be deleted, but they probably should be judged on WP:GNG. Being the mayor of Bloomington doesn't get you a WP:NPOL pass, at least in my opinion. I flagged it since I've been going through mayor stubs and tagging ones that don't pass WP:GNG - Mr. Van Buskirk had no sources, and I had difficulty finding any so nominated it instead of improving it.

Delete. Bloomington IN is not large enough to hand its mayors an automatic free pass over NPOL #2 just because they exist, the fact that Bloomington is home to a university is not in and of itself to make its mayors special if they weren't personally and sourceably involved in the university's creation, and simply being able to add just enough sourcing to hand the article a technical pass of VNPOVNOR — a thing which almost anybody who exists could instantly do the moment they've gotten their name into the local newspaper once or twice for doing nothing that would actually satisfy a Wikipedia inclusion criterion — is not in and of itself an exemption from having to actually WP:GNG the person well enough to get them over the defined notability criterion for their field of endeavour. But this is not sourced well enough to satisfy NPOL #2. Bearcat (talk) 19:10, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Respectfully, being mayor of Bloomington and Treasurer at IU are more than enough to show that the individual is suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia in my opinion. This individual more than meets N. I do not see a particularly great case for NPOL#2 - that is a fairly poorly defined criteria and I don't tend to think of individuals in that way. Perhaps he has a week case for meeting NPOL #1, as IU treasurer is a state level elected position, although it was an election made by the board of directors which consisted of 5-10 people. I would not make that case, as I read SNGs as sufficient but not necessary. I understand I am repeating myself, I just wanted to make it clear that I do read your !vote and disagree somewhat. Best, Smmurphy^(Talk) 19:51, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Being treasurer of a university is not a political role, so NPOL is irrelevant to whether it constitutes a notability claim or not. It's also not a role that guarantees an automatic inclusion freebie to every treasurer of every university regardless of their depth of sourceability or lack thereof — it might count for something if the article were sourced much better than this, but it's not such an "inherently" notable role that you would be exempted from actually having to source him over WP:GNG on career coverage, and could instead to rely on a mix of primary sources and routine marriage and death notices as the entire sourcing pool because the "inherence" of the notability claim somehow trumped the low quality of the sourcing.

Cupcakke

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

This article has existed in two separate locations, one at CupcakKe and one at Cupcakke. The original title was the former, but that article was deleted in 2016 following the conclusion of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CupcakKe. This newer article seems to have been built specifically to circumvent the original afd, and I was initially unaware of the former article until I an editor left a message asking for the capital letter variant article - which was deleted and salted due to multiple repeated attempts to recreate the article at or near its original configuration- arose. Before I do any recreating and any redirecting, though, I want this issue resettled. Do we really need an article for the artist, and if so, where is it going to be at. If not, do we delete and salt both page variants, or just delete and hope for the best. TomStar81 (Talk) 10:24, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Where is the deletion criteria? There is none in your explanation whatsoever, you just talk about the previous article that got deleted. 344917661X (Talk) 11:29, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I entertained G4 for a few days, but that doesn't strictly apply. I still have notability/significance concerns, and given the large number of what look to be fan accounts or burner accounts I wonder if there may be a sock farm here to for involved in constantly recreating the article. Insofar as it applies here, I have concerns about her notability under most of the music criteria - I'm not seeing 1,2, or 3 placed records, nor golden albums, nor chart performances or awards, and while there are a number of cites some of those are questionable by Wikipedia standards (twitter and Instagram, for example, wouldn't be what I'd consider independent, 3rd party sources and yet I see no less than 3 mentions of those sites in the reference section). It is my opinion that the article should be relisted here for input on where exactly it stands, and if you look at close enough you can see the cracks I'm talking about. Now whether those cracks make it deletable or whether they are SOFIXIT cracks is what we are here to decide. (Also, I concede I forgot to include a valid deletion criteria, thanks for pointing that out. Its been a long-ish day, so I'm hoping a little sleep will get me back on track.)

Keep - I nommed her article for AfD the first time around. At the time she didn't (in my estimation) meet our KEEP criteria. I think she's received significant coverage since then.[33][34][35][36]. And while the article may have been created at Cupcakke to circumvent the salting at CupcakKe, it probably should have been created at Cupcakke anyway, since we're not beholden to cute stylization.

Keep per Cyphoidbomb. The primary reason for the deletion of older articles about Cupcakke was WP:TOOSOON, but I think the article is different enough and there are enough sources released since then to establish notability. Nanophosis (talk) 20:33, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He passes WP:NFOOTBALL based on above mentioned [37], which shows he played in first-tier league. Because honestly, it is quit difficult to find statistics of players from South East Asia region in the internet, especially pre 2010. I experience it myself how difficult to find statistic for Indonesian player, meanwhile that player plays almost in every match.

Not a notable organization. Running a single Chinese New Year Gala doesn't make the group notable, and the coverage appears to be WP:MILL coverage of that event, not the group running it. (also note discussion of notability on Talk:ZaiGeZaiGu Community below) power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:31, 24 May 2018 (UTC) [reply]

Arguments made at the Talk Page for easy references - that was in response to nominator PROD which I seconded it

Hi, @Power~enwiki let's discuss the deletion proposal here. The challenge on WP:N was raised by The Mighty Glen before, and after I added independent media coverage sources in Chinese, it's believed it meets Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Primary_criteria and the notability challenge was resolved.

~~The primary criteria have five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:~~

significant coverage in

multiple,

independent,

reliable,

secondary sources.

I'd also like to high-light the understanding of it's a group that only runs one event, was a misunderstanding. In fact it was known for running community events over the course of several years, and has reach to certain height of recognition as a volunteer group.
Let me know if you have any other questions

~~Xinbenlv (talk) 21:13, 24 May 2018 (UTC)~~[reply]

Are there any references that discuss this group outside the context of their 2018 event? As the group was founded in 2016, I expect it is WP:TOOSOON for there to be sufficient coverage of the group to meet notability guidelines. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:20, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it toosoon, it just a midly promotional one, I read through all are just ticketing or promotional websites that should really do a G11. But I know can't. --Quek157 (talk) 21:22, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for quick response. That's a mis-perception the interview is about promoting the group. It does give credit but it's a legitimate neutral media coverage trying to learn about the group (and this was also to address the WP:ROTM because it was not directly related only one regular event it does. In addition, there is also a TV interview by KTSF as listed in the reference too. Xinbenlv (talk) 22:07, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here are just a few examples, and some of them already are in the reference list. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to further resolve your doubt. Xinbenlv (talk) 21:33, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't wish to continue anymore, if you want, delete the PROD, if not keep it and let an admin judge, this is really an AFD where PROD should be for uncontroversial deletions, if there is so much contentions, I rather put it to the community. So what is your decision, still contesting? Then I will remove the PROD and sent this to AFD, if not, enough arguments are there that it was one event, WP:ROTM, no sense of WP:RS supporting WP:N / WP:GNG (exact words for AFD nomination). To add, I had read clearly all the sources in depth. And I am no friend of deletion. I had argued strongly for inclusion in all, seeking WP:ATD as far as possible. Baseless accusation of me being biased. I am one of the most objective when coming into deletion arguments and will try my very best to argue until fail. Attacking sources? Nope. I'm analyzing them. I am doing AFD discussion since 2007 anyway.--Quek157 (talk) 22:10, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think I heard what you said Quek157. I didn't question your good-faith. I was just challenging the way you attack my evidence's legitimacy. I didn't intent to contest the PROD here. I was soliciting suggestions for clarification needed. I think we should let the PROD run for a while to collect more input before removing the PROD from different people. For example, I'd like to wait for power~enwiki for what he/she thinks about my evidences provided here. And if it turns out it has to go to AofD, I'd like to learn more to prepare a better defensive argument too. Xinbenlv (talk) 22:28, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
An archived version of a Facebook post is not going to be the least bit useful. As far as your other points, as I assume you want to discuss them, I'll convert to an AfD and they can be discussed there. power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:31, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(ec):::I think you are mistaken, anyone can remove the PROD tag, it can be removed by you or me. A full discussion is only to take place at AFD. What we are doing now is exactly what we will do at AFD, analyse things and etc. This is no different to AFD in my view. Feel free to contest the PROD. I don't see the point of preparing a defensive arguments. We don't WP:OWN articles, there is nothing to defend for, there is only WP:N and WP:NOT to take into concern. To power~enwiki, if you wish to recline the PROD, I have no issues. I will just mark this for AFD and then see how the communtiy thinks, with better sources, I am then willing to withdrawl my nomination per consensus. Or you can just nominate, no worries. That's all from me. --Quek157 (talk) 22:33, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

:: Well, good that you said so. If it's a WP:ROTM, certainly it doesn't deserve coverage. The fact it's being covered is a signal that the group have something unique. The fact it's being covered by multiple different media for different events, comes with some reasons, so easily invalidates the accusation of WP:ROTM. For example, in US, Christmas happens every year and people celebrate it everywhere. So normally, media will not cover a random efforts of celebration of Christmas. However, the media covers the New York Rockefeller_Center_Christmas_Tree because it is multiple year, and beyond normal. Xinbenlv (talk) 22:03, 25 May 2018 (UTC) (page creator)[reply]

Delete If this could be sourced to something that reliably did the work for us of working out which characters qualify as "human superheroes in DC Comics", I wouldn't be nearly as opposed to keeping it, but it only took me about two seconds to find an entry for a character (Amanda Waller) who isn't even defined as a superhero (or a hero at all) in her own article. Due to its broad and vague inclusion criteria, this list would be nearly impossible for us to maintain in a reliable way. Vadder (talk) 05:05, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Queried speedy delete as "does not expand significantly on article Blackbeard", but how likely is it that Edward Thache Jr. was Blackbeard? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 03:35, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's a separate article for Blackbeard but under his given name - why do we need this? Would be fine with a redirect or merge of any information not in the main article. SportingFlyer talk 06:59, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article describes a person who might be Blackbeard, but is not at all accepted by the WP Pirate crew that guard that page. It does offer significant new detail as to the military service of Edward Thache Jr. If you can see somehow merging it with "Blackbeard," I'd say that's perfectly acceptable, but I've tried this before and encountered resistance. They seem to feel it may not be Blackbeard. In that regard, this separate article seems appropriate as it could be a different person. SC9370176CEC (talk) 12:51, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reb1981, if this article has "many similarities" to the Blackbeard article, could you please be specific and list them? I see very little similarity. For instance, besides the dates of birth and presumed death, what info in the first and main paragraph appears on the Blackbeard page? This article pertains to actual research with primary source material (i.e. real documents). The Blackbeard article comes almost exclusively from one controversial source: A General History of Pyrates of 1724 by Charles Johnson. He almost certainly made up a lot of info that the world has accepted unequivocally for 300 years now... especially the notorious bits. This article includes valuable info that should be available for future conversation. It should not be deleted outright. As I said, if the pirate fans who love GHoP guarding the Blackbeard page can be convinced to give a little, then it could be and should be merged. Again, this is actual research. A General History is a secondary source from 1724, written by a polemical newspaper publisher repeatedly jailed for his Jacobitism (actual name: Nathaniel Mist).SC9370176CEC (talk) 05:09, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps Merge to Blackbeard. However since the identity of Blackbeard of Johnson's book is not quite certain, perhaps an alternative might be to keep this but prune the earlier part of Blackbeard. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:59, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. This is borderline (vs. a keep) - as it seems the program has been possibly launched, but construction will be only completed in the late 2020s. Many of the details in the current article seem wrong (or at least not in sync what I've read presently - which may vary from other sources given the BALLish nature of future development).

Keep per Casliber and extended discussions on the articles talk page [[43]]. In most of the articles I have managed to find, he appears as C.V.Rao. Hence his artcles and citations of them are extremely difficult to find. Searching Rao, C.Rao for C.V. Rao, brings up many wrong hits as there are many Rao's and many C. Raos (somewhat fewer C.V. Raos). Searches on Venkata Rao fail to bring up most of his work, let alone those citing it. However the combination "embryology"+"Malvaceae"+"Rao" in a search on Google on June 3, 2018 produced some 473 results, most of which (> 90% on the first two pages of the results) clearly referenced Chellapilla Venkata Rao or were references to his work. Further, one reviewer (a specialist in Proteaceae) of the monograph on Proteaceae referred to him as "the leading researcher on this family" (Proteaceae), in his review. The phylogenetic website http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/APweb/, a resource used by those interested in doing plant phylogenetic research, currently continues to reference his work on anatomy and embryology of the plant families Proteaceae, Malvaceae (which includes his work on Sterculiaceae, Bombacaceae and Malvaceae).

Keep absolute no brainer His abbreviation for botanical citations is Venk.Rao means he was responsible the publication and naming of new botanic species, that alone meets WP:NSCHOLAR. Add to that the 15 publications listed in the article he meets WP:GNG, his scientific/botanical work meets WP:NSCHOLAR on that as well. Gnan garra 05:59, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the sources are about his fiancée, and the others are either by himself or quote him (without actually writing about him) or simply regurgitate another sources as with Harper's Bazaar, that cites Esquire. There's clearly no need to cite both. This only serves to inflate the citation count and give the false impression that the subject has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources.

Notability and NPOV concerns. Being president of a Student Representative Council is not a claim of inherent notability, and the coverage is routine coverage of that event. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:23, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Promotional BLP, much of the sources are written by the subject himself, what coverage is not is either trivial mentions or as part of a larger event and seems rather WP:ROUTINE - him being arrested and released on bail is not enough for notability and seems like ordinary sensationalism, i.e. WP:NOTNEWS. This is also probably WP:G11, I have placed a corresponding tag on the article. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 00:35, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
