The result was delete and redirect to Aafia Siddiqui. Redirect to his wife. Deleting before redirect because of possible BLP issues of implying he is involved in a plot without concrete confirmation. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 05:33, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Clear case of why notability is not inherited. By closely examining the sources available, it is revealed that most, if not all, are dedicated to the man's wife, Aafia Siddiqui, who is indisputably notable. While Khan is passively mentioned, we all know that does not count toward notability, and the apparent cite overkill attempts to compensate for that. Considering this is a BLP on an innocent man whose only significant claim of "notability" is being mixed up with his former spouse, it is entirely inappropriate and contrary to policy to have a seperate article on Khan.

- Delete - this is a borderline speedy delete and borderline weak delete. Speedy because "might have been involved" in a plot is inappropriate for a lede for a BLP. Weak because there is a lot of reliable sources about aspects of the individual's life. Overall, however, it is pretty clear to me that this is not an encyclopedic subject and the sources do not lend themselves to a NPOV characterization of a person who seems to probably be a fairly anonymous, innocent person with no public profile. Smmurphy(Talk) 13:47, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect - to the page about his wife as it is plausable that someone might use his name as a search term, but to be honest I would be fine with a delete as well. Inter&anthro (talk) 23:28, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect to Aafia Siddiqui. Plausible search term, but not independently notable of Siddiqui at present.Icewhiz (talk) 07:23, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

- Delete I initially saw lots of hits using Google, but then discovered that there's a fashion designer by the same name and a Canadian violin and viola player as well. None of the sources I found for this subject help contribute to GNG and presently, the subject doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO. Possibly just WP:TOOSOON. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:36, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. I must admit, I'm quite surprised that previous contributors to this AfD seem to have never heard of Carolina Herrera before... she is a world-famous designer of clothes, accessories and fragrances. Anyway... the subject of this AfD is far less notable. She's played at WOMAD and at London's "La Linea" Latin music festival (the latter was her Queen Elizabeth Hall gig, mentioned in the article), but playing down the running order at world and Latin music festivals doesn't make her particularly notable. Apart from this there have been some sporadic gigs around the UK and Ireland [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] (scroll down to Mary Coughlan's event on Oct 21 to see her mentioned in this last source), but mostly as part of low-key Latin music events, and are little more than event listings. The best references I've found are this one from BBC Mundo (in Spanish) [6] which briefly mentions how she was discovered as a busker, and this review in The Independent of her support slot at a Tania Libertad concert [7]. The worrying thing is that both of these articles are from 2004 (as was her WOMAD gig), and there are almost no credible sources since then, which suggests she didn't become anything more than one of the thousands of budding singers up and down the UK playing the odd support gig, and that fourteen years on from the first media interest in her, she is unlikely to ever be more notable.

- Additional comment: I'm a bit puzzled why Iridescent declined attempts to delete this article ten years ago [8], [9] – perhaps there was the same confusion with the fashion designer. Richard3120 (talk) 18:37, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
- That would be because it was an absolutely blatant misuse of speedy deletion, and any admin who'd accepted it would—then and now—be at best admonished and likely stripped of the bit for admin abuse. Notability (or the lack thereof) has no bearing on speedy deletion, which is based exclusively on claims of significance, something
Carolina Herrera has performed at numerous venues including the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Ronnie Scott's. Momo's, WOMAD festival, Wexford Opera Festival, Cork Jazz Festival and many other places, venues and festivals in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland
even meets in the stricter Wikipedia of the present day, let alone the Wikipedia of a decade ago where we traditionally turned a blind eye to puff-pieces provided they were at least reasonably neutral and the subject wasn't utterly obscure. ‑ Iridescent 18:38, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

The article is clearly non-notable (there's no exemption for fringe labels like "cryptids") and profringe, with essentially no significant content or reliable sources since its creation despite the addition of various templates over the years. Even within unreliable or fringe sources, this barely gets a mention.[1] The article was previously nominated for deletion (discussed here along with Mbielu-Mbielu-Mbielu and Ngoubou) with a result of no consensus. A redirect might be considered, but not to living dinosaur as that's unsupported by the supposed sighting of a "12-ft. lizard with a ridge or 'sail' along its spine"[2], and not to list of cryptids since it's supposed to be a list of notable cryptids and a redirect to there tells someone nothing about "Muhuru." --tronvillain (talk) 22:12, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Bear with me here.
A bunch of these lists went to a no consensus AFD recently. Basically, the topics (or many of them, at least) are notable. On the other hand, our coverage of precolonial West Africa is terrible and these lists are all referenced to a source deemed unreliable.
I have been one of the editors working to fix the problem. I created List of rulers of Liptako to replace one of the articles from that list. Because the Liptako article will (eventually, anyway; it's still awful) cover the area known as Liptako (broadly construed) rather than strictly just the former emirate called Liptako, I included the rulers of Koala, the previous kingdom in that area in the same list. I've finally been able to get access to the highest quality French-language scholarship on the topic and fleshed out the king lists (including the relatively minor second Koala kingdom). In doing so, I've essentially content forked another of the existing lists: List of rulers of the Gurma Mossi state of Kuala.
There is no need to preserve the "Gurma Mossi" article for attribution, because I didn't refer to it in any way (and its referencing, as noted, isn't reliable, so no merger is possible). I don't want to redirect it to the list I've created, because the title is factually incorrect: Koala (or Kuala, if you're French) is a Gurma state... but it's not a Mossi state.
Really, this should be fairly uncontroversial, but this request doesn't meet any speedy deletion criteria, and because it survived an AFD it is technically invalid for PROD. So... here we are. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:59, 29 May 2018 (UTC) Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:59, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

This article appears to be a POV fork of Isaaq genocide. A large portion of the content has been copied (without the necessary attribution) from that article, omitting the characterisation of the actions as genocide. The article creation came after the user first tried to rename the genocide article, then started an RfC on its title, then withdrew the RfC, and then commented at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ideological bias on Wikipedia that "I was just editing the Isaaq genocide article, and the title is completely made up. The date of the event is completely made up too. I don't think these were an innocent mistakes. Rather, this was ideologically motivated as a form of pro-Somaliland secessionism/nationalism. This is clear wp:synthesis. I'm planning to move the bulk of the content to "Hargeisa massacre" later, since that title can be attested". Creating this article therefore appears to be an attempt to rename the genocide article by the backdoor. I suggest that the new article is deleted and if Thylacoop5 wants to rename Isaaq genocide, they follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to start the appropriate discussion.

- Weak Keep - With significant roles in 3 films, When a Man Rides Alone, The Wyoming Whirlwind, and Vanishing Men, appears to barely pass WP:NACTOR. Onel5969 TT me 15:37, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Onel5969: were they significant roles? I am not even sure that they are sourced but, for example, I couldn't find her named in the cast for Vanishing Men at AFI etc and she appears to have been mostly little more than a part of the chorus in other stuff. Even the wordpress external link notes her as an obscure, unsuccessful bit-player, although as per the talk page I am not sure how much weight can be attached to that. - Sitush (talk) 15:48, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Ah, sorry, I meant 42nd Street. I didn't check VM and have no idea of how significant her role in that may have been. - Sitush (talk) 15:50, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- All 3 were apparently significant. While AFI doesn't list her in Vanishing Men, her role, that of Diane Nelson figures prominently in the plot synopsis. She's mentioned in articles about the film as well, such as The Film Daily. The other two films, she had leading roles. Onel5969 TT me 15:53, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- This is weird. I've just noticed that the significant role bit of NACTOR relies on the notability of the movie per NFILM, which has some sort of cascading effect. We do not even have articles for two of the films you mention (yet). So, if the films are not yet deemed notable then the cascade fails. - Sitush (talk) 15:57, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- And should the cascade even exist? WP:NOTINHERITED. As someone has recently suggested on my talk page, we're becoming IMDb. - Sitush (talk) 04:13, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

- Keep passes WP:NACTOR Notability does not mean just having a wikipedia article it means it could qualify for one and those films seem to qualify as nationally reviewed, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 16:28, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, but how significant was she? And which were nationally reviewed? And why does a national review make the film(s) notable? This would be a straight GNG fail and it is only the usual stupidity and navel-gazing of flimsy topic-specific guidelines that alter that. Some are better than others, of course, but NBOOK, NFILM and NACTOR really are piss-poor. - Sitush (talk) 16:53, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- And was the review independent? The film and publishing worlds are notorious for mutual backscratching even today, as shown in almost every edition of Private Eye. - Sitush (talk) 04:02, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- Note Please can editors remind themselves that the criteria at WP:NACTOR, in common with all biography inclusion criteria, are considered additional - the General Notability Guideline still needs to be met. Head over to WP:NACTOR and scroll to the top. It's not an either/or scenario. Exemplo347 (talk) 17:10, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Exemplo347, using the secondary criteria "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards," then yes, we can say that passing NACTOR can show notability. In order to establish NACTOR, we use the additional criteria of reliable sources to show the subject passes NACTOR. Notability is not black and white or "either or": there are shades of gray and we use all of the standards (as applicable) to decide as a group whether or not an article passes.

- Delete The coverage is very minor. She does not pass the multiple significant roles in notable productions guidelines so we should delete.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:07, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: If someone is a lead in multiple films, and the notability of those films has been established, then it should be presumed that there would have been critical coverage/analysis of that lead's participation in multiple films. Lead roles in multiple notable movies means that WP:ATD can't be easily applied, and even a permastub article is somewhat useful and more pleasant than a permaredlink; WP is a hyperlinked encyclopedia. Her article really shouldn't have been created before one or both of the missing film articles were created/confirmed as notable, however, particularly since the sourcing used is poor (in particular, the Wordpress source that was a reference should not be used), and little is visible online. What RS information is there on her? ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 15:28, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Three starring roles in very obscure films do not satisfy NACTOR. The rest of her sparse work, some in films I actually heard of and have seen, is all uncredited, which says it all. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:42, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

- Keep. It's not always easy to determine whether a given source is offering significant coverage of the company, of Langmann, or of one of the works it produced (especially the complicated co-production credit for The Artist – and, yes, WP:NOTINHERITED and all that). But I think in the aggregate, there's enough. Most sources, predictably, are in French. This, from Le Figaro discusses the company's financial difficulties, so a potential article needn't be puffery. This, from Entreprendre gives a bit of history of the company from better times (back in 2015). Clearly, what we have here... isn't very good, but I think the topic is notable. Note that this article isn't eligible for CSD G5 as block evasion; although it was indeed created by serial sockpuppeteer Alma Fordy, it was created by the original account prior to the first blocks.

Monarchies have existed for thousands of years. There have been millions of royal weddings.

The company seems to be significant in its own right as well, not just a run-of-the mill company.

Move to Joseph R. Holmes.See this entry which RegentsPark added to the list of references. See also [21]. So there are references available that demonstrate notability. Polyamorph (talk) 08:02, 30 May 2018 (UTC)- I deleted the added information, it was for Joseph R. Holmes, who died in 1869. John R. Holmes died in 1892, although their stories are similar. I think that there is also confusion because Joseph R. Holmes' owner was John R. Homes, who died in 1857.–CaroleHenson (talk) 08:17, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
- The article is clearly talking about Joseph R. Holmes and not his owner, so the page should be moved there. In terms of notability, Holmes is very notable, see this excerpt from the Virginia encyclopedia "Several Virginia newspapers published long accounts of the incident, and papers in more than twenty other states and the District of Columbia excerpted or reprinted them, giving Holmes's death an exceptionally wide notoriety among many reports of white-on-black violence during the years after the Civil War."Polyamorph (talk) 08:21, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

- Ok. I would agree that Joseph is more notable. There are not a lot of reliable sources about him, but there is more - I count 4: 1 book that isn't snippet view, 2 websites and 1 newspaper article.–CaroleHenson (talk) 08:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

- Delete I have to admit that I have doubts that Joseph R. Holmes is notable. Being a member of a state constitutional convention is not generally in and of itself a sign of notability.

- Delete: There are a few more books that mention his death in 1892,[1][2][3] but judging by the snippet view, they do not tell us more than the WPA source. I searched for a possible WP:ATD-R target, and ... found him mentioned of all places in Virginia elections of 1869: "John R. Holmes, an African American, was assassinated while campaigning for a state senate seat." and was not surprised to see the addition was made by FA in Special:Diff/831941829/831942063. I have removed it, and I will leave it up to you who know the subject matter better to add a mention of Joseph R. Holmes if it is relevant, and maybe have a look at FA's additions and adjust the intro. I have moved the article back to Virginia gubernatorial election, 1869, a title that is consistent with other titles in Category:Virginia gubernatorial elections. Sam Sailor 08:51, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Insufficiently referenced article about a minor league hockey player who does not have any strong claim to passing WP:NHOCKEY. His highest league play was in the Central Hockey League, a league which per WP:NHOCKEY/LA permits notability only under NHOCKEY #3 (preeminent honours such as all-time lead scorer or First Team All-Stars) -- but Delisle doesn't have any valid claim to passing that condition. This was tagged for prod a few days ago for that reason, but then deprodded earlier today on the grounds that it has "several sources" -- but it cites just two sources, both of which are the expected local team play coverage in his teams' local media and neither of which are about him in any non-trivial way, so they do not represent enough sourcing to hand him a "passes WP:GNG on the media coverage" exemption from having to pass NHOCKEY. Bearcat (talk) 18:37, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- Delete A pretty straight forward fail of both WP:NHOCKEY and WP:GNG. There are some sources but they are all very routine or very local.

- Delete as this is a really small area. Delhi is a city which contains the locality called Rohini, Delhi. Rohini is notable and large enough to merit an article. Rohini is divided into sectors and Deep Vihar is an area within Rohini Sector 24. This is a really small area (a sub division of a sector) and it doesn't deserve an article. This is similar to what is the normal practice for Delhi geographical articles. We keep articles about localities, but not about the individual "sectors" and "pockets". For example Dwarka, Delhi has an article, but the constituent sectors do not have their own articles.--DreamLinker (talk) 17:41, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

- Usernamekiran Rohini is not a city. There are no "cities" in Delhi (as in NCT Delhi). Officially there are only districts and each district has sub-districts (for municipal purposes). The term "sub-city" is generally used in parallel to the municipal subdivisions and is generally used to refer certain planned residential areas. Both Rohini and Dwarka are considered "sub-cities".--DreamLinker (talk) 06:57, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Article on a database created by an editor with little or no history other than creating this and linking the database to articles - i.e. likely promotional editing.

- Strong Keep The article has been here ten years, and averages over 100 hits a day, despite commonly used names like "Getty list" apparently not redirecting. The database, which took over an older dead tree one, is now accepted as the best global source on the topic. Can this be Wikidata envy? It's hard to think of a reason for this foolish nom otherwise. The Getty list certainly shows how inadequate Wikidata is over the same area. Searches just on the official name are not good enough - at the least "ULAN", "Getty list" and "Getty List of Artist Names" need to be done. Frankly your "quick Google" technique needs improving! Here's a book source with extended coverage, another, and another, another short mention, another, and another. Johnbod (talk) 12:41, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
- The hit count is undoubtedly skewed by it being in the authority control template (which has several questionable entries). It's nothing to do with Wikidata envy and 100% to do with an absence of reliable independent sources. I found several of thsioe books (haven't checked them all yet) and to use [22] as an example, it's a directory entry with the same blurb as appears on various websites.

References are to unreliable sources, in-passing, or to the book itself. Fails WP:NBOOKS and WP:GNG. Randykitty (talk) 12:27, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
Keep My articles have received continued attacks by two specific wikipedia members User:wikitgresito & User:RandyKitten. I have proved endlessly they fit in with Wikipedia’s criteria and I believe these are personal attacks on me due to being able to supply hard evidence against the claims made. The above coverage on A Case for Murder: Brittany Murphy Files is in ABC certified news publications. ABC is the media industry’s stamp of trust. ABC deliver industry-agreed standards for media brand measurement across print, digital and events. They also verify data, processes and good practice to industry-agreed standards. Since the continued vandalism of my Wikipedia pages I have dropped an email to ABC & highlighted the statements made about my uploads & as soon as I hear back I will post there response here with there approval.LisaHadley2018 (talk) 13:22, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

- Delete - thanks for nominating this, RK, I thought of doing so myself earlier today. No sign whatsoever that this meets WP:NBOOKS or WP:GNG, and it appears to be part of a small walled garden of articles about the author and his books. Wikipedia has criteria for reliable sources, and "ABC certified" is not one of them - besides, a press release or churnalism in a highly reliable source would still not be something we'd use to show notability. --bonadea contributions talk 13:35, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Comment u|bonadea I must highlight unless you work within the media & unless you have read the articles attached to my citations in full you can’t selectively decided the notability factor of the publication online, in-print or its topic because it wasn’t on your radar. Please read ABC website & it will highlight the extreme differences between highly reliable sources and none reliable, which fit into Wikipedia’s criteria of inclusion as well. Press release coverage would run similarly, both in print editorial pieces on A Case for Murder: Brittany Murphy Files are entirely different and both highlight the article’s as EXCLUSIVES.

Fails WP:CORP. This entity was deleted back in 2010 for WP:SPIP (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Art_of_Charm ). In January 2017, a WP:SPA created this page and the page about its founder, Jordan Harbinger (see https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=The_Art_of_Charm&action=history ). I did a Google News search for the entity and they're just passing mentions or name drops. There's no significant coverage as required by WP:CORP. Also, given the fact that the articles was created by a single purpose account 7 years after it was originally deleted, I'm pretty sure there's some foul play here; especially since the user didn't go through AfC.

- Keep per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources such as those cited in the article. For example The Guardian article says:
- "The Art of Charm podcast can be intimidating. Not just because it’s the work of a lawyer called Jordan Harbinger. Not simply because Jordan has worked out how to weaponise all the many elements of the human personality that go to make up charisma in order to get people to listen to him, be impressed by him or hire him. But mainly because he also has the energy to turn these thoughts into podcasts of frightening intensity. I can’t listen to more than half of the long episodes without having a lie down.
- His “minisodes” are easier to take. A lot of it is just common sense – today you should text two people you haven’t texted in a while – but by turning everyday niceness into a matter of iron policy he has become a regular Dale Carnegie of the digital dispensation." FloridaArmy (talk) 17:37, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. A little more careful examination of the sources cited (or stirred up) reveals the following:
- The Harvard Business Review gives examples of successful podcast formats, among which it name-drops (once) the Art of Charm (AoC).
- All the reports with Shaq in them, e.g. USA Today, Business Insider, Forbes (4/2016), etc, are about Shaq's statements on the Earth being flat, and they simply mention that he spoke on AoC.
- The Time article contains viewpoints on storytelling offered by a bunch of people, including the AoC creator. It's not about AoC.

- Comment this article has a chequered history, eg: Noon family and Noon (Pashtun tribe). At worst, it could be a set-index of people bearing the name Noon.

- Delete "Clan" is a stretch. [31],[32] merely assert that there is a family with the last name Noon. [33] asserts that there exists a person with a last name Noon. [34] asserts that there are two people with Noon as a last name. So that leaves us with a few people called Noon and that doesn't constitute a clan, notable or otherwise. --regentspark (comment) 22:35, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- Actually 3 says "He had carried on the Noon family’s political legacy with great integrity. He was former prime minister Feroz Khan Noon’s cousin. He retired from active politics in the late 1970s while introducing his son Malik Amjad Ali Noon into the field." And your 4 says "Malik Amjad Ali Noon and his father Malik Anwer Ali Noon mostly live in their hometown village Ali Pur Noon. The Noon family has 27 villages in Tehsil [Bhalwal]: Nurpur Noon, Sultan Pur Noon and Sardar Pur Noon, among others. Malik Feroz Khan Noon ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan was also a prominent member of the Noon family." I hadn't seen those sources so they are in addition to those noted above. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:30, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- The fact remains that all we have is a few people with the name "Noon". That doesn't create a prominent clan. The few prominent people can be included in the disambiguation page Noon_(disambiguation). You need to show that the clan is notable (and that it is actually a "clan" whatever that means). For example, is Noon a subcaste or a tribe? The mere existence of a few people, prominent or not, with a last name is not sufficient. --regentspark (comment) 23:38, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

In my view, after reading the sourced materials, the large extended Noon clan's history goes back to the 19th century settlements (several large villages in different areas of Punjab). Over at least a period of a century, they have grown in numbers and have formed a Noon clan. Ngrewal1 (talk) 00:15, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:TNT. I find nothing about "Song Co Dong", "Ma Had Thai", or "Dok Kra Tum" except on Wikipedia mirrors. Unless someone can provide the Thai transliteration and a credible source that these terms are in use, all of the content should be deleted. The topic of Traditional hairstyles in Thailand is probably notable; I see enough mentions in scholarly works about that. The references are very, very low-quality; the Kapook one is likely sourced to Wikipedia and the Phahurat one looks like content-spam to promote an online store. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:42, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

- I'm ridiculously slow at finding Thai letters and inputting them but dok kra tum is apparently ดอกกระทุ่ม. This seems to be a dictionary definition - [35] but, while I can transliterate Thai and read a few basic words, I certainly cannot read this. There certainly seem to be a lot of sources with which an article could be constructed... [36] Calliopejen1 (talk) 09:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: This was created by a one-time editor, probably as part of an EFL school project. References are indeed poor, and the writing isn't good, but I'm not quite convinced this falls into WP:TNT territory (which seems to be the only valid reason to delete here). At the very least it needs to be renamed, to something probably with traditional or historical rather than ancient as the adjective. --Paul_012 (talk) 08:19, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Sourcing is exceedingly poor, and the article is nearly unintelligible. Perhaps an article could be written on this topic, but we would need to start from scratch. Thai sources are fine as a general matter, but these Thai sources appear to be garbage. Calliopejen1 (talk) 09:12, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. The fact that all the sources are in Thai is not an issue. There's no requirement for sources to be in English. Likewise, the fact that the writing quality is poor is also not a reason to delete. The problem is that none of the three sources appear to be WP:RS. It's hard to tell for sure since I'm working off the auto-translations, but they looks like blogs and/or websites for hair salons. If somebody can find better sources, I don't see any fundamental reason why this topic couldn't be the basis of an encyclopedia article, but with what we've got, it fails WP:N and maybe even WP:V. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:09, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Lack of real notability.

- Comment What has generated interest in his story is that he is not a linguist, but a private security guard (a minimum wage job around these parts) with little formal education. I'm still considering what to do with the article, though... –FlyingAce✈hello 03:43, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- Keep: 1. The topic meets the general notability guideline. The topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject,[1][2][3][4] so it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article.
- 2. The topic meets the people notability guideline. The person is worthy of notice or note, remarkable or significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded. It is my opinion that it is highly unusual, remarkable, interesting and maybe even unprecedented that a security guard in Guatemala learns ten languages. Thinker78 (talk) 05:15, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

- Delete - being a polyglot is not a particularly remarkable thing (and it does not make a person a linguist - sorry, but that terminological point is not unimportant, and most linguists are not polyglots). Yes, speaking ten languages is impressive, but that is again not a criterion for notability. I do not see that GNG is met based on the sources presented above. --bonadea contributions talk 13:21, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
- The remarkable thing is that he was a security guard, who usually gets paid minimum wage, working in a repair shop in a seedy part of town and managed to learn basically by himself many foreign languages. And as proof of how remarkable that is he was a featured story in many media outlets, even internationally. Please tell me how you do not see the sources I posted as meeting the GNG. Thinker78 (talk) 18:41, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
- If this is the remarkable thing about him, please say so in the article. As the wording stands, it doesn't make a claim of significance. If you'd actually written what you wrote here, this might not have come to a deletion debate. Deb (talk) 13:56, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
- You are right and I actually thought about it when I created the article. I have updated the article based on your suggestion.Thinker78 (talk) 06:22, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- But "remarkable" isn't a reason for keeping the article, especially since it is always a matter of personal opinion. Of the sources provided (above and in the article), the prensalibre.com one is the only independent source with more than brief coverage of the person. Make no mistake, I think it is a wonderful thing that people learn more languages, but if we actually read the sources, it becomes obvious that the claim made in the Wikipedia article is false - he speaks English, Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Quiché, which is six languages of which four are rather closely related, and has a smattering of four other languages. The main story in the source is about him getting a scholarship to study German - again, that is great, his achievements and enthusiasm make me truly happy, but that does not make him notable. --bonadea contributions talk 08:37, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Thinker78 (talk) 18:41, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
- I said "remarkable" because you were talking about not being remarkable, but the topic is notable as well as I have submitted evidence about in the form of reliable sources. According to the GNG "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent" ."Brief" is wording that is not included in the GNG.
- You said that the "if we actually read the sources, it becomes obvious that the claim made in the Wikipedia article is false - he speaks English, Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Quiché, which is six languages of which four are rather closely related, and has a smattering of four other languages". I clearly stated that he speaks " ten languages with different degrees of fluency" and that is according to the sources (contained in the article) which I will quote "Perebal, quien habla 10 idiomas" (Spanish: "Perebal, who talks 10 languages"), "Indicó que habla inglés, italiano, francés, portugués, castellano y quiché; además, en fase intermedio domina el alemán, ruso, japonés y mandarín" (Spanish: "He indicated that he talks English, Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and K'iche'; in addition, in intermediate phase he dominates the German, Russian, Japanese and Mandarin").[5] Prensa Libre has multiple articles about the subject, not just the one where he is going to study German. I will go through the other sources I provided:
- The BBC. It is an independent source from the subject and a reliable source. It may not be a long article but is not just a passing mention either, so I believe it is significant coverage that the BBC had a full article just for him, addressing the topic directly and in detail, where information is given to us about his sex, his age, a job offer made to him, the languages he talks and that it even features a dedicated video showcasing languages that he speaks.
- The YouTube video published by Univision's "Despierta America" (which is a variety morning show) is I believe a primary source because it is an interview of the subject, but which use as a source, if I'm not mistaken, is not against Wikipedia's policies. It is nevertheless independent from the subject, a reliable source, and covers the subject directly and in detail.
- Canal6 is a reliable source and independent from the subject. It features a dedicated article to the subject, where it is addressed directly and in detail.
- ChapinTV is a reliable source and independent from the subject. The article I provided is one of a series dedicated solely to him,[6] and so the subject is addressed directly and in detail.
- Gente d'Italia is independent from the subject and seems to be a reliable source. RAI (the Italian state-owned broadcaster) has an article about Gente d'Italia.[7] Gente d'Italia's article about the subject is dedicated to it and addresses it directly and in detail. Thinker78 (talk) 01:26, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- I read the people notability guideline and actually remarkable is one of its thresholds to determine notability, so being remarkable is indeed a reason to keep the article. Thinker78 (talk) 22:54, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

- It's trivial. Look at any news source, you'll se trivial feel-good human interest stories. these do not make the subject notable, and to repeat myself, jounos being lazy will pick up stories from other sources, hence a cascade of repeats of the same story. It's like crimes, which generate news coverage but are generally not notable unless there is significanyt ongoing coveage.TheLongTone (talk) 11:49, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BIO1E. We want biographies of people with enduring notability, not perma-stubs on the ten-minutes-of-fame of someone who will likely never be written about again. – Joe (talk) 16:52, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- WP:NOTNEWS states that "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events". But at this point you don't know and can't know whether the subject will have an enduring notability. Per WP:CRYSTALBALL, "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. Wikipedia does not predict the future." WP:BIO1E refers specifically to events not achievements. The subject in this case is notable because of his remarkable achievement of being a security guard working in a seedy part of town in Guatemala and learning by himself many foreign languages. He was not involved in any event. According to WP:BIO, "...the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be 'worthy of notice'... or 'note'... – that is, 'remarkable'... or 'significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded' within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life." The sources I provided prove very much that the person is worthy of notice, remarkable, significant, interesting and unusual enough. Thinker78 (talk) 23:41, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

- Delete- per WP:BIO1E and WP:NOTNEWS. I basically agree with User:Joe Roe. This is a bio of someone who got a minor flurry of attention for fifteen minutes but no enduring notability. Likely to remain a permastub indefinitely. Reyk YO! 07:52, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- Leaning delete or userspace for more drafting (Thinker78 has IDed at least one source, an Mexican interview, not used in the article yet). Striking option not viable:
Replace with a concise entry in List of polyglots(since it's verifiable information, so we need not expunge even the mention of him). I agree with the N, NOTNEWS, NOTINDISCRIMINATE, and BIO1E arguments: while there's a small amount of coverage, most of it's trivial, and the one piece that is not is focused on him getting a scholarship and on the "gee whiz" aspect (i.e. people being prejudicially surprised that a security guard isn't a dullard). This isn't the enduring notability we're looking for. Four of the six languages he's actually competent in are closely related in vocabulary and grammar, and a fifth (English) derives much of its vocabulary from one of those four (French). So there's just really not much there, from an encyclopedic perspective, even if it's a fun human-interest story. Honestly, it probably takes more time and devotion to become a top-100, national-class pool (billiards) player or skateboarder, yet such people are not notable (and often have more coverage, at least in the specialist press like pool and skating magazines). This is a borderline case, and while I tend to lean inclusionist, I do so primarily on the basis of likelihood that the subject will have more coverage later and increased relevance to the public. I'm skeptical in this case, because I think even if he learns Romanian, Galician, and Catalan over the next few years, more detailed coverage isn't likely because the story hasn't really changed at all from a journalistic or public perspective, and if it doesn't and there's not more coverage then there's no encyclopedic story to tell, either. That is, Perebal doesn't really matter to the general public on any segment of the world stage, more than the next random person matters (and by a certain age, most of us are quite competent at one or more things). He's simply had his 15 minutes (in primarily local- or regional-interest publication). And good for him; too bad we don't have more news coverage of interesting people who aren't criminals or involved in a scandal. But, really, by 2020, no one will remember or care other than Perebal's friends and family, and collectors of language- or guard-related trivia. It's not really fair, perhaps, but the "one hit wonder" band that charted with a top-10 hit in 1987 and then broke up remains notable because their song still gets played and people still care enough to want to know about the band. That won't be true of the obscure guy who "knows" 10 languages. Nothing is going to make him stick in the public mind (unless he becomes more notable for some other reason, like saving the life of the Guatemalan president, or winning that international pool and skateboarding biathlon :-). In short, if we don't delete this now, we'll delete it in a few years, after his obscurity becomes more obviously opaque with time. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 11:02, 31 May 2018 (UTC); revised: 07:03, 1 June 2018 (UTC); revised again: 00:08, 2 June 2018 (UTC)- SMcCandlish I'm not understanding BIO1E very well.

- TheLongTone, the earlier sources stated that he was at the time a security guard but the story evolved and the source I showed you that indicates he is no longer a security guard is a more recent one. At this point I don't know what you want in the article so if I make further edits that you don't like you probably will do a manual revert, changing the content back as it was. So to avoid the impression that I am edit warring I will let other editors (including you) change it if they so want or let it stay as it is, even though it currently contains untrue information.

Non-notable pageant contestant. All claims of notability are going off of assumptions that she'll represent Russia in Miss Universe 2018. There is no confirmation from the Miss Russia Organization that this will happen, people are just assuming because it has happened occasionally in the past when Miss Universe conflicts with Miss World. The article is poorly sourced anyways, and Tyurkina should not have an article unless she is confirmed as the Miss Universe representative or a different reason for notability arises. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 07:09, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

If kept, this article needs to be cleaned up pretty well. There are a couple good potential sources about him after he left office: [37] [38] [39] The other articles I can find about him are WP:MILL articles which discuss the inner workings of city council or are governmental press releases - there's not much else out there about him specifically apart from him getting quoted in an article about something city-related. In my opinion he fails WP:GNG, as does his father who was also mayor of Aurora, Paul Tauer, so I'm bringing it here before taking an ax to what's currently in the article.

- Delete This is another case of people confusing title for function. Aurora is a council-manager city. The city is run by the city manager, not the mayor. The title of mayor is held by a person elected to that office who is de facto council president, but since he is not chosen as such by the council, may or may not have any power. He is really no more powerful than any other member of the city council. This city is not large enough that council members are default notable, and we lack sourcing to show that he is truly significant. Too often in cases like this people confuse name dropping for actual coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:23, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Mayors are not handed an automatic presumption of notability under WP:NPOL #2 in council-manager cities regardless of their size — a mayor's ability to qualify for the "keep and flag for refimprove" treatment is conditional on the mayoralty of that city being a directly elected executive position, not a ceremonial one whose power is subordinate to the city manager's — but this is referenced nowhere near well enough to get him over WP:GNG as the subject of significant coverage.

A small city of 30,000 with only two buildings over 100 feet in height, and only two entries notable enough for standalone articles (a hockey arena and a courthouse).

- Also, the number one building in this list, at 102 Wenatchee, is a contributing building in an NRHP historic district, Downtown Wenatchee Historic District, and its photo and information could/should be merged there. The NRHP historic district article does not note it being a tallest building. Perhaps other information in the list article can be merged elsewhere. --Doncram (talk) 22:16, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- A list of tallest buildings in the state (like this one) would basically be a duplicate of List of tallest buildings in Seattle, with a few entries from Bellevue sprinkled in at the bottom. A list of the non-utility buildings would be a good foundation for a "Cityscape" section in the Wenatchee article. Other than that, none of the information is really worth keeping.

The result was merge to Sir Dhunjibhoy Bomanji. A line or two ought be added but it shall be well-sourced.In light of the sourcing issues, I don't feel comfortable about calling an outright merge and this might be construed as more of a redirect stuff......

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. I can't find independent reliable sources about her to show her notability, so we're left a batch of non RS refs (Daily Mail, a user-generated genealogy site, etc), local media, mentions in passing (articles about her former house being sold, etc) and attempts to show her notability based on other people's notability (her husband Sir Dhunjibhoy Bomanji, a statue by a notable sculptor that was bequeathed to the town by Bomanji's daughter, vague claims that "she was well known in aristocrat social circles and friends to few members of the Royal family" sourced to a few pictures and a letter of hers, that her portrait was painted by a notable painter who also painted the Queen, etc). The sources just don't support her notability.
After a week of extensive discussions on the article creator's talk page User_talk:PukkaParsi#Lady_Frainy_Bomanji_May_2018 this does not seem to be going anywhere. The creator says he or she can't find better sources online and seems unwilling or unable to attempt the suggested technique of looking in archives or libraries. He or she stated that the family was very private and there isn't much information available and seems to have given up [40]. Bomanji died more than 30 years ago, and her husband more than 80 years ago, so I can understand that there may not be much online.
I'd be happy to withdraw this if we can find some reliable sources that clearly show her notability, but so far all I see is an upper class woman who was well liked in her community. Simply being "Lady Harrowgate", supporting local causes, founding a local society 47 years ago and being president of it for two years, and being made an Honorary Freeman of the Borough doesn't convince me that she is notable. Relatively well-known and liked in her community, yes, but that's not enough. Meters (talk) 03:05, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

- Merge to Sir Dhunjibhoy Bomanji. That said, there's some possibility that she has independent notability, but source identification is certainly a challenge. One potentially relevant work is: Gifford, Zerbanoo (2008). The Golden Thread: Asian Experiences of Post-Raj Britain. Pandora Press. ISBN 9780044406051. Unfortunately, I'm only able to access a decidedly inadequate Google snippet from page 38. All in all, I think this is probably better covered at her husband's article. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 12:35, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- Merge and bold her name and her daughters name. They all seem to have some notability and are probably best covered together. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:59, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- Rather odd proposal. We don't bold family members names if they are mentioned in an article. There is no evidence of the daughter's notability, and the mother's article is up for discussion because her notability has not been shown in the article. If she is notable then her article should remain. Please provide the additional reliable sources I requested.
- A redirect is fine. We can merge the information that pertains to the husband in some way (the house, maybe even the statue later bequeathed by the daughter, etc) but an already weak article about someone who died in 1937 is not the place to cover another 75 years of family history. Her husband's article should not be used as a WP:coatrack. If the family is notable then we should write an article about the family (but I'm not suggesting that should be done). Meters (talk) 18:30, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- Comment. There's an obituary of the daughter in the Yorkshire Post, but it would take more than that to make her notable, I think. Deb (talk) 20:14, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

- talk If you want to learn about designers, stylists, models, etc you go to Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, or the style section of a newspaper. This is why the references listed above are mostly from fashion magazines, which often publish this type of pithy and shallow article (referred to here as sounding a press release). However, if this type of article is no longer accepted as a source, then the issue becomes the entire field of fashion magazines, and not just that one article (because this style of writing is often found in fashion publications). And if fashion magazines are no longer considered reputable sources, then how would one establish notability for those working in the fashion field?

- DGG I agree with Abonzz on this. If you think these are "press releases," then the burden is on you to show that they are indeed "press releases" and not just fashion coverage. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:02, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
- talk If you want to learn about designers, stylists, models, etc you go to Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, or the style section of a newspaper. This is why the references listed above are mostly from fashion magazines, which often publish this type of pithy and shallow article (referred to here as sounding a press release). However, if this type of article is no longer accepted as a source, then the issue becomes the entire field of fashion magazines, and not just that one article (because this style of writing is often found in fashion publications). And if fashion magazines are no longer considered reputable sources, then how would one establish notability for those working in the fashion field? On a side note: this is an issue that particularly touches women because they mostly work in in fashion.

- Keep She passes GNG and Vogue, etc are RS. I was alerted to this AfD from Abonzz who had a very reasonable question about press releases vs. RS. DGG and Dlohcierekim, you can't just decide that an article is a press release because you feel like it or you think it's a press release. Press releases are completely different from articles and while press releases may be used to create a journalistic article, they aren't the same thing at all. Conflating the two is not good editing here on Wikipedia and I'm frustrated to see this still going on at AfD. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:08, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

- Comment – Press releases often have the same article and/or content hosted on many various websites, and a means to determine whether or not a news article is a press release or based upon a press release is to utilize Google searches using the titles and/or content of these articles. Actual news articles typically will only have links present in searches for the articles themselves, (and potentially on a few mirrors), as opposed to press releases, which typically are published and duplicated on many sites. I agree with the notion that the provision of proof of news articles being based upon press releases should be the basis to qualify such statements, rather than simply stating this as a fact via proof by assertion with no further qualification provided.

- Keep I incorporated the references given above[42][43][44][45] as well as one more from the Independent.[46] I think she passes WP:GNG for significant discussion in secondary sources that are independent of the subject. She is known for her research in historical trombones (as indicated by the discussion in the articles above about her research work with Edward Elgar's trombone) and was awarded an Hon.RAM from the Royal Academy of Music in 2002, which may not quite satisfy WP:NACADEMIC but I think it does add a little bit to her notability. I also added several references to verify each piece of information in the article. However, the most strong reason I believe the article passes the notability test is due to WP:MUSICBIO because the subject "is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles." She was a founding member and principle trombone player for the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and a founding member and 25-year player of His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts.

RedirectSingle event. Redirect to World Youth Scrabble Championships#WYSC 2012 : Birmingham, England. Other "event", ie highest combined score, article subject was the losing party, and by a long way too, so not that important. Aoziwe (talk) 12:03, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- In view of further referenced achievements, changing my !vote to keep. I am concerned though about the difficulty of finding any IRS outside of the "scrabble world" reporting, hence exposing a lack of WP:NEXIST to support WP:GNG, although I do like the analogy below to WP:ATHLETE. Aoziwe (talk) 01:43, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- Keep I talk below about why the highest score "event" should count as a second event. But additionally, two more events have since been added and one is a world record to which Aoziwe's criticism doesn't apply.
- Speaking to the highest score "event", which Aoziwe believes is not sufficiently important, there are two points of note. Firstly, the record is replicated on the main Scrabble page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble), and that it was noteworthy enough to make it to the main page suggests to me that it should count as a second event here.
- Additionally, the winner's score of 729 has been achieved a number of times in the past (http://www.wespa.org/700club.shtml). None of those games have combined scores which approach the combined record (eg highest score by one player is 850-259 by Toh Weibin), because such games are almost always much more one-sided. So the implication that the subject's role in the record was unimportant is a misjudgement in my view.
- I will say I was too quick to publish this page and I had inadequately referenced the subject's records with secondary references elsewhere on Wikipedia which were subsequently deleted (and have now been replaced). Performance at the World Scrabble Championship and the now-beaten record for the highest score between two players in 24 hours is now added. Clearly WP:ATHLETE does not apply here, but by analogy, a world youth championship, or a world record, or participation in a world championship is sufficient by itself for presumed notability for many of those sports.Scrumpet97 (talk) 13:12, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

- Speedy keep. No valid deletion criteria offered; potential mergers are an editorial matter, not a topic for AFD. That said, I also would oppose a merger here. Our Gang is a large article with a lot to cover, and there's no reason why accessory topics like this can't or shouldn't be spun out. Additionally, while it doesn't even get a redlink, there's an argument to be made that Kaltenmeyer's Kindergarten is sufficiently notable for an article (our coverage of radio programs is maybe worse than our coverage of silent-era films!); in any case, this song was not exclusively associated with the Our Gang property. Is the article a stub? Yes, but stub doesn't always mean bad. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:49, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Ohio gubernatorial election, 2018#Candidates 3. Numerically, the !votes were close to an even split between delete, keep, and redirect. But this is superficial. The arguments for keeping, if they cited policy at all, were weak and did not sufficiently address the notability concern. The delete and keep !voters fundamentally agreed that the subject is not notable at this time, but per WP:POLOUTCOMES and WP:PRESERVE I have opted to redirect instead of deleting. – Joe (talk) 15:34, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

- Delete: A WP:SPA article whose initial creation edit summary describes it as "approved copy from Connie and Kirk" but where WP:DISCLOSE has not been followed. The article content reads like an election release, detailing the candidate's career and platform, but with no indication that either meets the biographical notability criteria. One of the main sources in the article says that "she will strive to obtain 3 percent or more in the 2018 election" so it seems unlikely that candidature will be followed by office. But regardless of that, this fails WP:NPOL at present. AllyD (talk) 07:43, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. As always, not yet elected candidates in future elections do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot demonstrate and reliably source that she already passed some other Wikipedia inclusion criterion for some other reason independent of her candidacy itself, then she has to win the election, not just run in it, to become notable as a politician. But this makes no credible or properly sourced indication of preexisting notability for other reasons — and it's written like a campaign brochure, not an encyclopedia article, but even a person who does have a clean NPOL pass still doesn't get to have that kind of article, and still doesn't get to have her campaign staff put the article here themselves in defiance of our conflict of interest rules.

- Keep The article was very wordy and promotional. I think it was copy-pasted from somewhere like a resume. I removed all the unsourced info and non-independent citations. I think there is enough significant discussion about her that she just barely passes WP:GNG. She has been a candidate for the Ohio House of Representatives District 18 and received about 7% of the vote in 2016, which she received some press for. Now she is the chosen candidate for a major party for the Governor of Ohio. She has already received significant coverage about that, and it's likely she will continue to get more coverage as it gets closer to the election. WP:POLITICIAN states "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article'." I think that is the case here. Lonehexagon (talk) 02:06, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

DeleteArticle was created last year as PROMO when she was running for Congress, now she's running for Governor and while that does not disqualify her from having an article, one of my personal tests with candidate articles is having done something significant before you decided to run for office. I am not seeing that. Moreover, all coverage of this now perennial candidate for a FRINGE political party is run-of-the-MILL.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:41, 29 May 2018 (UTC) - Keep Wikipedia should not be in the business of keeping vital information from the public. Interest in the Ohio Green Party is at an all time high. In the May 8th, 2018 primary, despite being unopposed, Constance drew so many votes that the Green Party doubled its percentage of the over all vote compared to the last state-wide primary in 2016. [1]The Greens may be small in Ohio, but they are growing while the other Parties are losing members. Other online references have found her worthy of inclusion. [2] The truth is that unless the Constance Gadell-Newton receives at least 3% of the vote in the 2018 election, Ohio state law says the Green Party will be disbanded. The Green Party is the only recognized third Party in Ohio, and these calls to delete Constance's entry are thinly veiled, partisan attempts to keep the public from even knowing that they have a choice in this election beyond the two major parties. Wikipedia must not be used for partisan purposes, especially not favoring the large Parties while discriminating against the small. User:Joe DeMareJoe DeMare (talk) 03:31, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

- User:E.M.Gregory Is incorrect when he claims all my Wikipedia entries are about Ohio Green Party. I once spent a week trying to insert a reference to a study done by the European Union on the number of estimated premature deaths from Chernobyl into the Wikipedia page on the health effects of Chernobyl. At that time, the study calculated there had been 1 million premature deaths. Every time I inserted the reference, it was deleted a few hours later by pro-nuclear editors. I finally gave up, concluding that Wiki was too vulnerable to being manipulated by people with agendas. It is true that Ohio Green Party politics is my expertise. In fact, I just corrected Constance's entry to read that she is the "past" chair of the Ohio Green Party, not the current chair. I was elected to the Ohio State Committee in the May 8th primary. However, there is no COI in pointing out that this deletion is an act of political repression. Constance is the only minor party candidate on the Ohio ballot, and over the next months perhaps millions of people will turn to Wikipedia for information on her when deciding how to cast their vote. Entering "Constance G" in the search box already causes her name to appear. If her entry is deleted, Wikipedia will be used to further the partisan objectives of the two major parties in the U.S. which are pretending the Green Party doesn't exist. In order to appear on the primary ballot, Constance had to organize petitioners from all over the state of Ohio. That effort itself was noteworthy. However, if you look back at the full history of edits on this article, you will see some of her most noteworthy accomplishments were removed, and then her entry was marked for deletion for lack of noteworthy accomplishments. She has defended many political dissidents in Ohio. It's true that I am only a fringe member of the Wikipedia community. However, those of you deep in the community who are making this decision should step back a bit and consider the "of course" factor. That is, if you asked the average person on the street, "Should Wikipedia have an entry for the Green Party's candidate for Governor?" the answer would be "Of course!" This is not a simple application of an internal rule. This is a political act which will have direct effect on the outcome of a political race. A truly neutral source of information, while not promoting any candidate, would at least give basic information about all candidates and allow the reader to make their decision. Deleting this article would deny millions the information they need to make that decision.

The result was delete. Although there are a mix of keep and delete arguments, none of the arguments shows any substantial coverage from reliable sources for this original game, nor gives any other substantial argument for notability. Therefore consensus is that this topic is non-notable. There are sources for a sequel, which seems likely notable. Should anyone ask, I will gladly restore this content to a user sandbox per Izno so that the verbiage can be used as background for the notable topic (the sequel). 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 15:13, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Non-notable video game. The extent of the (reliable) coverage is an article in Rock Paper Shotgun and an interview at Gamasutra. Not enough to pass notability criteria. The sequel doesn't either, only getting a serious mention from PC Gamer and Adventure Gamers. Being forced to combine 2 games together to make them notable is not a very good sign that it is fit for Wikipedia. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:04, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- The question is whether Wikipedia should be inclusive or exclusive. I vote inclusive. The article does no harm to people not interested in the game. And people who are interested in the game can find out more about the game and its creators. I suspect it is harder for a Dutch game to attract a following than it would be for an American game, and harder for an indie game to attract a following than for a routine game by a big game company. "We Were Here" has won one award and been nominated for a couple of others. Why not give it a chance? Rick Norwood (talk) 11:51, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- "Give it a chance" suggests that if you put it on Wikipedia, it will become more notable. That goes against WP:NOTADVERTISING. The game should already be notable before an article gets made. I have no prejudice against recreation if one of the games is mentioned more in reliable sources, but currently both games are not individually notable on their own.

- I suggested draftifying another recently in a similar circumstance, but that was two entirely disparate items (a company and its video game).

- I actually had asked this some time ago on the VG project after searching sources; the sequel got some attention that could be GNG notable but not the first, though the first is alluded to in the discussion of the sequel. To that end I was thinking this is the type of game better covered as a series article, both games fully discussed (not separate) in this series article, since there's no way the first game can survive as a standalone. So either have a standalone page for "We Were Here Too" that mentions the first game, or a series page for "We Were Here", but we can't have a standalone "We Were Here" game page. --Masem (t) 13:42, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

- Comment I don't think your conclusion follows from the premise. NSPORTS criteria are explicitly intended to non-definitively determine whether appropriate sources can be found, not to determine the notability of an athlete. So someone who is a sumo wrestler but does not meet NSUMO is not "clearly not-notable" -- it's more nuanced than that. Rather than talking about the sport-specific criteria, we should discuss how WP:NOTABLE the athlete is. Plus if you really want to get technical, it's possible that his 6th place at the Games of the Small States of Europe makes him achieve NTRACK, because it was a top-8 showing at an international championship event that had rounds. --Habst (talk) 05:20, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

The result was delete. The "keep" opinion is unconvincing. "Unremarkable" is indeed a reason for deletion if this means that no reliable sources have remarked on the topic, which means we have no sources on which to base a verifiable article. Sandstein 12:36, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

A directory-like listing for an unremarkable electronics manufacturer. Significant RS coverage not found; the sources presented at the last AfD are not convincing. Does not meet WP:NCORP / WP:CORPDEPTH.
First AfD closed as no consensus in Aug 2017. NCORP has been tightened since then, so it's a good time to revisit. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:52, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

- keep "Unremarkable" isn't a valid reason for deletion. Looking at the Japanese article, this is a company of sufficient size and revenue that they would pass WP:N. They might not be well known, famous or particularly innovative, but we don't set our notability bar that high. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:30, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

- Comment. In the first AfD, User:Michitaro unearthed a slew of ostensibly good references for the article; none of those have been added in the subsequent ~10 months. If Michitaro (or another Japanese speaker) would re-examine those sources and (if they're any good) work them into the article, this could be a WP:HEY situation. A Traintalk 22:57, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

- Nom's comment: I did not find the sources from the first AfD compelling; that's why I nominated the article. In any case, nearly a year since the first AfD is plenty of chances. It's time to let this articles go. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:39, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
