As far as I can tell, this subject fails Wikipedia's notability requirements. While Pandora may be listed on the French wiki, I can find no reliable sources which describe that comic (and none which describe its title character, who is prominently featured in this article). There's little question that the series exists; there are external links to Goodreads, Amazon, and other sites (see WP:USERG) but I have found nothing in reviews of the genre, Google books, or even news articles. Further, while the notability guidelines for books (WP:NB) may not cover comics (although they do apparently cover manga), I can find nothing to indicate that it satisfies any of those criteria. For these reasons, I have listed this article at AfD. RexSueciae (talk) 23:44, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

- Delete for only getting mentions within album reviews. Something I should however note, Cornerstonepicker, is that charts (or lack thereof) are completely irrelevant to whether tracks meet WP:NSONGS, which states a song needs to be covered at least decently within multiple secondary sources that aren't album reviews or affiliated with artist/label.

- (as AFC reviewer) I thought it had a chance to go through since Bubbling Under was still considered Billboard charting but given that those charts were practically inaccessible now, buried under the biz subscribed section as opposed to the other regular Hot 100 and R&B / Hip Hop charts, I have second thoughts about retaining this. There was also the comment that it would be the next music video release, but given that it was just a Twitter poll on her account, and not taken seriously with no news articles written about her making it her next single, I'm okay with deletion / protected redirect until it is released as a single.

- Delete or redirect to Queen (Nicki Minaj album). Charting alone does not give a song enough notability for a separate article. This article can be recreated in the future if it is released as a single and receives more independent coverage from third-party, reliable sources, but that is purely speculation at this point.

Another eminently non-notable oldster. Only two very unremarkable sources, and evading the reaper for a long time is not inherently notable, so WP:NOPAGE applies. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 23:01, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete This article fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E because there is only WP:ROUTINE coverage of her that fails to demonstrate notability and there is no notability guideline that "the oldest x" is notable. The content of the article is pretty much just trivia fluff about her family and the documentation proving her age claim. There is almost nothing actually said about her in an article that is supposed to be about her, which demonstrates how the article fails WP:NOPAGE. Her age, life dates, and nationality are already recorded on three different lists, where they are easier to view, so this permanent WP:PERMASTUB is not needed.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
No coverage in independent reliable sources, does not meet WP:GNG. Provided sources are a photo hosted on a government site, an article about Indian poets that includes a mere mention of the museum, an entry about the museum on a tourism database.

Activist organization that does not meet WP:ORGCRITE. ORGCRITE specifically requires significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources
. Virtually all coverage is in news reporting (i.e. a primary source), and most of it is mere-mentions in articles that are primarily about whatever issue was being protested (by other groups as well). Exactly one source[1] appears to be secondary coverage in a reliable independent source, but that falls short of the requirement that there be multiple such sources. I was not able to turn up more sources in internet searches, but perhaps someone with more familiarity with Indian sources and languages will be more successful and I'm open to dissent provided that better sources can be found. signed, Rosguill talk 21:37, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep News reporting is exactly the secondary source coverage this kind of org needs to get over GNG. Legacypac (talk) 22:11, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- My evaluations of the sources:
- [2] Secondary, independent, reliable, but not significant.
- [3] Reliable source, but the article is almost entirely reliant on direct quotes from affiliates of the subject.
- [4] Reliable, secondary, independent, but mere mention, not significant.
- [5] Reliable, secondary, independent, but mere mention, not significant.
- [6] Mere mention of subject in coverage of murder case. No in-depth analysis.
- [7] Again, mere mention of the subject in reportage about a murder case. No in-depth analysis.
- [8] Reliable, secondary, independent, but mere mention, not significant.
- [9] Reliable, secondary, independent, but no in-depth coverage of the subject.
- [10] The one reliable, secondary, independent, in-depth citation mentioned above.
- [11] Not in depth, not secondary, doesn't even mention the subject.
- [12] Article about founder of the subject, no real analysis, barely mentions the subject
- [13] Mere mention of subject in article about wider protest, no in-depth analysis.
- [14] No mention of subject
- [15] Timeline of events relating to a murder case that the subject protested around. Reliable, independent, but a mere mention, not significant.
- [16] Report of a speech without analysis, not secondary, not really about the subject either.
- [17] Announcement of a speech, mere mention of subject.
- [18] More speech coverage, mere mention of subject
- [19] Coverage of event hosted by subject, no analysis or in-depth coverage of subject.
- [20] Summary of murder case and proceedings, brief mention of subject and minimal coverage
- All together, there appears to be one source that meets WP:ORGCRITE's criteria (#10, also listed as #1). Note that ORGCRITE specifies that each source contributing toward notability must meet all requirements (independence, reliability, depth, secondary). Thus, we cannot combine more trivial mentions (such as #20 or #2) together to demonstrate significant coverage, as is allowed by some other notability guidelines like NBIO. signed, Rosguill talk 22:45, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- My evaluations of the sources:
- Delete Does not meet WP:GNG. If every protest group got a Wikipedia page, there wouldn't be enough Wikipedia left for the rest of the world. A good amount of the article reads as promotional material for the founder - prior to my edits, it was definitely written by somebody unfamiliar with Wikipedia (coming from somebody still pretty unfamiliar with Wikipedia); a lot of spacing issues and the like. The sources are more about the matters they're protesting than the group itself, and in common a vein of AfD discussions, 'notability is not inherited.'

- News reporting is independent secondary sources. What other sources do you expect to find? The fact that the media report what they say about issues and use their quotes is evidence of notability. Mention of the founder does not reduce notability. It only affects the issue of whether the article should be about him or about the organisation. Keep. Rathfelder (talk) 09:39, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- I would expect to find some more in-depth coverage, such as this article about the Namantar movement, this article about the Dalit panthers (unclear about its reliability, but my point here is depth), this article about the Naxalite movement, or this article about Every Town for Gun Safety. Honestly, even just two or three more articles like #1 and I'd consider ORGCRITE to be met. signed, Rosguill talk 17:45, 2 November 2018 (UTC)18:13, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, the first source onthis list (2) Times of India looks solid: "In the film ‘No One Killed Jessica’, Rani Mukherjee is seen interviewing a group of activists from Chandigarh, who were demanding justice for the deceased model. Led by a young, self-proclaimed activist, the group swelled to a few hundreds which went on to hold candlelight vigils and protests. Not a fragment of the film-maker’s imagination, the group, known as the 'Middle Finger Protests' actually exists and continues to work at the grassroots as the Human Rights Protection Group. Not to be mistaken as an NGO, it encourages individuals and organizations to work towards the protection of human rights in India.". This is part of a signed article or essay in the "city" - presumably local - edition that is about a Bollywood film about the lal murder that portrays these protests. There may be notability here.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:55, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep -- Per Rathfelder. Nom's dismissive analysis of sources is not convincing. LikeMeercats's argument is especially not convincing per WP:PAPER. And the use of WP:INHERITED is particularly off base. That the org's POV is cited in articles on matters being protested is precisely an indicator of notability for such a group. Finally, regardless of the "spacing issues and the like" we don't delete articles for being written by "somebody unfamiliar with Wikipedia." 192.160.216.52 (talk) 14:07, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Comment The argument I was trying to make, that you refute by citing WP:PAPER directly supports it. It's tongue in cheek by saying 'there's not enough wikipedia' WP:PAPER makes a clear distinction by what "can be done" and "what should be done" - this article shouldn't be done. The second comment is in regard to promotion, not the poor writing. Often these promotional articles are just written at a different quality - agreed circumstantial at best, but not irrelevant. For your direct comment "That the org's POV is cited in articles on matters being protested is precisely an indicator of notability" does that mean that if a random Joe on the street gives a comment to a newspaper he is now notable? That's nonsense! Newspapers can, and will, take comments from anybody and any organization then print whatever ones get the most clicks. We should seek to distinguish between truly notable groups and ones that are good at getting quips in the paper. LikeMeercats (talk) 17:24, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Comment -- Nice straw man. How about this? If a random Joe on the street is sought out for comment by a number of different mainstream sources specifically to give comment on a range of issues that said random Joe has taken an official position on, then he's not really a random Joe, so your example is completely irrelevant. Newspapers absolutely will not take comments from anybody, and especially will not take comments repeatedly from the same source unless that source's POV is notable. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 17:37, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Comment I disagree, I just don't think being quoted in a newspaper is grounds for notability. A lot of people, organizations, and randoms are frequently quoted, it does not make them authoritative or important. It seems like this one is pretty personal to you so I'll let it be, but maintain that these do not meet requirements for notability. LikeMeercats (talk) 18:01, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Comment -- It seems like it's personal to me?! What are you talking about? Please, enlighten me. What did I say that makes you think that this "seems like it's pretty personal to me"? What kind of weird accusation is that? I never heard of this organization before I saw this AfD and I never expect to hear of it after the discussion is over. Please try to refrain from making unfounded insinuations. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 18:11, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Film reviews, often brief mentions, like: Review: No One Killed Jessica is the film to beat in 2011. Relevant text: "A sting operation is conducted, which brings new facts to light, and the public is stirred through a campaign initiated by activists (‘Middle Finger Protests’ among them) and the media.". but brief mentions can be validate notability.

- Keep. I am so appreciative when a run-down of sources is analyzed, as the nom has done. Unfortunately, I have to concur with E.M.Gregory that the first source indeeds meets criteria. Therefore I have to question the analysis and assume the article meets WP:GNG at the least. Ifnord (talk) 01:47, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

I don't mind whether this article is deleted or not. Similar article List of Formula One drivers who have achieved a podium finish was deleted in May (AfD), but the !votes were about 50/50. The main reason I've nominated the article is that it contains about 300 incorrect table sort keys which either need to be fixed or deleted; I'm happy to invest the effort to do this, but I'd like to avoid a situation where I invest a couple of hours effort in the article and it then gets deleted, so I thought I'd start the deletion discussion first.

- Delete. I am not saying that nobody ever did this, or something similar, but no references are given to verify the claim never mind demonstrate that it is notable. There is nothing in the search links to suggest that it is notable and the vast majority of the Google hits fail to verify that this drink is consumed in the stupid way described in the article, although they do verify that a drink of this name does exist. Most suggest it is drunk out of a glass, like a normal drink drunk by a normal person. The few that do agree with the article (1, 2) are not RS and they agree to a suspicious degree. This suggests that either the article content was largely pasted from there or vice-versa. Anyway, this is no good however you look at it. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:54, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

The result was keep. Numerically, it's 15:6 in favor of keeping the article. Deletion discussions are not votes, but are closed according to whatever rough consensus emerges, with opinions weighted based on the strength of the arguments expressed, in the light of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. This means that I need to determine whether there are any unusually compelling opinions in favor of deletion, or any weakly argued opinions against it. I don't think that this is the case here. The issue here is notability, as described at WP:GNG, which is essentially a function of a person's coverage in reliable sources. Most of the "delete" opinions do not address the sources that have been found to cover the subject, such as those provided in this discussion by Debra Soh herself, and one "delete" opinion has to be discounted for being just a personal attack on Debra Soh. This leads me to give less weight to the "delete" side and find that we have a consensus to keep the article. Sandstein 09:40, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Notability TropicalFishes (talk) 18:30, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete I do not think that this person meets the standards for Notability. I raised this point on the talk page two months ago and it has not been addressed. I believe that the point still holds - "On what grounds does Soh meet WP:JOURNALIST? I don't think a single interview and an off-hand mention in an article about a larger movement meets the criteria 'The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.'. Neither has she produced any significant new concepts, theories or techniques, or a well-known body of work." TropicalFishes (talk) 18:33, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- See below, I have changed my opinion to keep. TropicalFishes (talk) 03:36, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- It's worth noting that Soh has attempted to influence the discussion by posting a link to this page from her twitter account. (https://twitter.com/DrDebraSoh/status/1059130716984885248). Also, I think it's worth pointing out an inaccuracy in her tweet. The discussion is not about whether she is a journalist (which she obviously is) or whether she is a scientist (she obviously used to be), but whether her work is sufficiently important to qualify for a Wikipedia article as set out in the guidelines for how notable a journalist must be to have their own Wikipedia article. TropicalFishes (talk) 22:12, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- She's published dozens of articles in such publications as the Globe and Mail, Quillette, and Playboy. Her interview with Dave Rubin has a total of 370K views. Her interview with Joe Rogan has 1.6 million views. She hosts a podcast which has 40K listens on SoundCloud alone. In what universe is she not notable? Signed - me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.72.202.220 (talk) 18:13, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- Joe Rogan draws a large number of views regardless of who his guest is, since the Joe Rogan Experience is one of the most popular podcasts in the world. Her own podcast is much smaller in its audience, and has only received a small amount of media coverage. It also seems to only have 5 episodes. 135.23.140.125 (talk) 22:04, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- No number of views or likes or streams any piece of content has on any social networking platform has anything whatsoever to do with Wikipedia's notability criteria. We count how many pieces of reliable source coverage about the person do or don't exist in real media, not how many people did or didn't view or listen to a podcast or a SoundCloud stream. Bearcat (talk) 22:24, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- Soh is known for having contrarian views, grounded in science. She's one of a select group of legit, credentialed scientists who have studied Gender dysphoria in children and dared to publicly ask the question, "How young is too young to transition?" To me, this makes her significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded. Seandevelops (talk) 22:30, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- This doesn't appear to be accurate. I can find no research that Dr. Soh has done that is related to gender dysphoria in children, though she has done research on a number of other topics (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Soh%20DW%5BAuthor%5D&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=26494360). Her work in journalism / science communication is unrelated to her research work. Many clinicians have expressed concerns about the age at which medical gender transition is appropriate. Ray Blanchard and Kenneth Zucker are two examples, who both meet WP:ACADEMIC because of their research contributions. Far from being a select group, their views were the norm in the field until fairly recently. TropicalFishes (talk) 00:44, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hi TropicalFishes, I didn't mean to imply you would find original research on that topic by Debra Soh. But as a science journalist, I believe her contributions in that area (and others) could be considered to be unusual and notable. She does not sidestep taboo topics. #3 - Too Young To Transition? My two cents, anyway. Seandevelops (talk) 05:30, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Far from being a select group, their views were the norm in the field until fairly recently. TropicalFishes (talk) 00:44, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

- In my experience of seeing her writings' influence in online forums, it seems to be that Soh is more than adequately notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. Some indication of this is provided in this article in Psychology Today. I would strongly oppose having this article deleted. Yahboo (talk) 22:38, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- The guidelines for what makes a creative professional notable are unambiguous (WP:JOURNALIST). Her work being well-received in online forums does not provide evidence that she is regarded as an important figure. A single magazine interview doesn't provide evidence of "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources". — Preceding unsigned comment added by TropicalFishes (talk • contribs) 01:01, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

- Unsure - She has also published 4 articles in Scientific American, plus articles in the LA Times, CBC News, the Independent (UK), etc, and been interviewed (or had interviews published) in other languages and countries (eg Brazil, Chile). She is cited by other journalists to some extent, but I'm not sure that she meets WP:JOURNALIST, yet. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:34, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. A journalist's notability is measured in terms of the extent to which she is the subject of reliable source coverage — but of the twelve footnotes here, six of them represent her speaking or writing about herself or other things; four more are glancing namechecks of her existence in articles whose primary subjects are not her; one is a primary source directory listing; and the last is her own LinkedIn. A journalist does not become notable by getting interviewed, or by getting cited by other journalists, or by being the bylined author of content about other things — she becomes notable by being the subject of reliable source coverage about her, written in the third person by somebody else, but exactly zero of the sources here represent any such thing.

- Keep. The article needs improvement to be sure, but Soh's notability, as per Bearcat's accurate description of it, has only grown in the past six months and can likely be expected to grow much more in the coming years. Maybe it wasn't created to the best of standards, but deleting the page entirely seems radically premature. Jg2904 (talk) 20:00, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- If you think that she doesn't currently meet the standards for notability but might in the future, then it seems like the right response would be to remove the page until she unambiguously does meet the standards. The discussion can always be revisited if circumstances change. However, it doesn't seem like she currently qualifies as notable, given the criteria set by the site, which apply equally to everybody. TropicalFishes (talk) 22:36, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- No, TropicalFishes, and sorry for any confusion; I think the article does meet notability standards, even if it's hitherto not in the best condition. I believe the article needs improvements, not deletion, as per JFG's remarks. Also, you have to tag me in your responses, otherwise I won't get notified about them.

- Keep. She’s been written about in the New York Times and we’re arguing if she’s notable? Lol. This is genuinely embarrassing for Wikipedia. Try to make your grudges a bit less obvious next time. Fig (talk) 20:06, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- She has not "been written about in the New York Times". One New York Times article about other people glancingly mentions Debra Soh's name a single time in the process of not being about Debra Soh, which is not the same thing as notability-conferring coverage about her. Bearcat (talk) 21:46, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. She's regularly published in Canada's biggest national newspaper, as well as Playboy & Quillette. She's been written about repeatedly in the New York Times alone, her appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast has 1.6 million views. She is noted for defending James Damore & she's also a notable voice in the criticism on how transgenderism is studied in academia. It should be noted she's often been targeted for censorship (YouTube just banned an ad for one of her videos with We The Internet for example), this AfD might be part of such a campaign. --TheTruthiness (talk) 23:26, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- Where she's published has no bearing on notability — the notability test is not passed by being the bylined author of content about other things, it's passed by being the written-about subject of content by other people. And it wouldn't matter if the podcast had eleventy squillion bazillion views, either — if the correct kind of sourcing to get her past WP:GNG is not present in the article, then no number of views or likes or streams on any piece of unreliable social networking content counts as "inherently" notable enough to exemot the correct kind of sourcing to get her past GNG from having to be present. It's also not our job to concern ourselves with whether an article subject perceives themselves as being "censored" or not — our job is to concern ourselves with whether the person is properly sourceable to the correct kind of coverage needed to make them notable, not with anybody's political agenda in either direction.

Many people view and refer to her work, and I personally searched for a Wikipedia article about her the first time I saw her name mentioned in an article.

- People do not get Wikipedia articles by being widely published, they get Wikipedia articles by having other people write about them.

- Keep This actually convinces me that there's enough coverage to merit an article. Since most of the stories from mainstream sources (except Politiken / Discover / Psychology Today) are quoting you rather than directly about you, they were difficult to turn up with a google search of your name. This list will be valuable in helping to improve the article - thanks for taking the time to compile it. TropicalFishes (talk) 03:36, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- People do not get Wikipedia articles by being widely published, they get Wikipedia articles by having other people write about them.

Bearcat (talk) 02:42, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. The arguments that she is not yet sufficiently "notable" seem rather petty and ignorant. She seems to be already adequately notable for there to be a Wikipedia article about her. Yahboo (talk) 02:45, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Soh is primarily known for her opinion pieces in various publications, and is not widely cited by other authors. She has been mentioned briefly in a number of articles, but nothing that would suggest she is any more notable than many other journalists who do not have their own Wikipedia articles. I am willing to be convinced otherwise, but neither the references given in the article nor any other sources I could find support the case for her being notable. Hpesoj00 (talk) 05:59, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep – While a lot of the article's sources are indeed citing the subject's own writings, which do not qualify her for notability, her coverage in The New York Times by itself passes WP:GNG. A case could also be made that her work has attracted "significant critical attention", per criterion 4(c) of WP:AUTHOR, or that she is "regarded as an important figure" per criterion 1 (although it is debatable who regards her as important). I hate to delve into WP:OTHERSTUFF, but we have hundreds if not thousands of articles about less-notable journalists, academics and scientists. — JFG talk 09:06, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- If that case could be made, people should provide evidence for it by adding reliable sources to the article. As it stands, I disagree that the NYT coverage suffices to meet WP:GNG, because both are passing mentions to her or her work. In neither case is she the focus of the article. TropicalFishes (talk) 18:16, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - This appears to be a rather childish attempt by two individuals to remove a page by a known and frequently published author, journalist, and neuroscientist. Wikipedia users rely us to provide accurate information, without injecting our biases or personal points of view. The article clearly needs further editing, but that's no reason to delete it. I agree with JFG. Keep. — Omegabyte7 talk 09:40, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - A well known neuroscientist, who is also a journalist and writer. Passes WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. Searching turns up numerous reliable sources. Netherzone (talk) 03:17, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - Not particularly well-known as a neuroscientist more than the average neuroscience grad with a PhD and has a verified Twitter account. This does not make someone notable just by the virtue of her following and her verified status. --Parkbenchmonster (talk) 03:35, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- Straw man. No one is arguing that she would pass N as a neuroscience researcher. The argument is that she earned the doctorate, then segued into a notable writing career, as Edward Rothstein, Charles Krauthammer and many ohters have done.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:09, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - Many of the reasons for deletion have already been outlined above, but it is worth noting that even within her opinion pieces, that she claims is scientifically valid, she uses evidence that is either put in the wrong context or has been repeatedly debunked. She has a large following as a contrarian, transphobic writer, but this does not make her notable than the next reactionary grifter. Controversy is not a measure of notability. --DiasporaCryptid (talk) 03:38, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hi DiasporaCryptid, a closer look and an open mind will reveal to you that Soh argues in good faith, and most certainly is not transphobic. I say this as someone who is politically liberal (if that grants me any extra credibility ). Thanks. Seandevelops (talk) 08:37, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- Whether or not you think her arguments are good doesn't affect whether or not she is notable. Plenty of people who might be labeled 'transphobic' meet the guidelines for notability, and so they have articles. However, I agree with you that contrarian views (without significant coverage in reliable secondary sources) are not a stand-in for notability. TropicalFishes (talk) 04:19, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- Wikipedia editors don't get to decide whether something is factually correct or not. Secondary sources do and wiki articles present them in unbiased manner. Its astonishing that this has to be said, its basic rule and I would recommend anyone who isn't aware of it to take time off their day and re-read them. EllsworthSK (talk) 09:31, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - Science journalist, sexologist, neuroscientist. Published in Globe and Mail, Playboy, Scientific American, at least a dozen others. Appearances on several major podcasts: Joe Rogan Experience, Rubin Report, Savage Lovecast, Hidden Brain. Cited in New York Times articles by David Brooks and Bari Weiss. The article by Weiss alone should pass WP:GNG. Note how the guideline defines "significant coverage" and compare with how Weiss covered Soh. Soh is an influential thinker, an influential writer, and in contrast to above, surprisingly more notable than the "average neuroscience grad with a PhD and verified Twitter account". Keep. Seandevelops (talk) 08:27, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- WP:GNG defines "significant coverage" as, "addresses the topic directly and in detail", and, "more than a trivial mention". I would probably consider the mention of her in the NYT article (one short paragraph describing her as one of two "other figures" associated with the IDW) to be trivial, and I certainly wouldn't say it covered her in detail. Most other mentions of her in the media are even more trivial, and are usually quotes taken from her opinion pieces which, again, I wouldn't say qualify her as "widely cited", in support of WP:AUTHOR. Hpesoj00 (talk) 14:04, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep reading below that first paragraph, you'll find a couple more. While not the main topic of the source material [and doesn't need to be], I'd say the coverage is non-trivial with respect to the topic at hand. The coverage is quite clearly something in between Bill Clinton and Robert Sobel in WP:GNG-speak. Seandevelops (talk) 20:22, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

I'm a bit torn on this one so I'm bringing it to AfD for more editors to weigh in. On the one hand, there's no in-depth coverage of the subject in reliable sources (none cited in the article, and I wasn't able to find anything else online) so they don't meet WP:GNG, and the subject's filmography does not appear to be significant or well-known enough to meet WP:DIRECTOR. Their strongest claim to notability is having won awards at the Best of Nollywood Awards and Abuja International Film Festival. The latter doesn't seem to be particularly notable, but the former festival does appear to get extensive coverage in reliable Nigerian sources like Vanguard. However, "Movie with best social message" doesn't really sound like a top-tier award, and I am thus skeptical that this meets the criteria in WP:ANYBIO of receiving a well-known and significant award or honor

I found a review on Stop! from Nollywood Reinvented, which also got an AMVCA nomination. Excess Luggage and Two Sides of a Coin also have some decent reviews on the internet.

There is no significant independent sources to confirm his importance to the the nomination, nor does his involvement even merit an entry on Grammy's website, where they typically catalog nominees.

- Draft move back to draft for AFC as there is not much coverage now but it is released 8 November so there could be reviews in reliable sources then in which case it can be accepted at AFC. Any moves back without AFC could be reverted if this AFD closes on drafting, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 13:09, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Atlantic306: The page has already been draftified once and the creator recreated it and so effectively objected to the draftification and as such I do not think we can DRAFTIFY again hence this AfD as per WP:DRAFTIFY. Dom from Paris (talk) 14:03, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- An AFD decision to draft carries more weight as per the second paragraph of WP:DRAFTIFY: "Articles may be moved to become a draft as a result of a deletion discussion, indirectly following deletion and a request for undeletion. When performing such a move, link to the original deletion discussion and the decision to move the article into draftspace. Authors should try to understand and respond to the reason for moving to draft status, and then use the AfC submission process to have the page moved back to mainspace. The author is encouraged to ask other editors questions, or to use the Help me template." so it suggests a move back to mainspace after an AFD draftify has to be through AFC, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 15:44, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- Ah Ok, that makes sense, I must admit I hadn't read it like that because this "indirectly following deletion and a request for undeletion." threw me! Dom from Paris (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

- Comment: The redirect to Bigg Boss Malayalam would only result in a trivial mention of Shiyas Kareem in the article.

- The article includes references that satisfies WP:NACTOR as per the following points;
- 1. The career section covers his filmography and his participation in television shows (Satisfies condition number 1 in WP:NACTOR).
- 2. The 'External links' section includes a link to his fan page which signifies that he has a large fan base (Satisfies condition number 2 in WP:NACTOR).
- 3. His participation and achievements at the Mr. Grand Sea World competition in 2018 shows that he has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment (Satisfies condition number 3 in WP:NACTOR).Emissary j( Emissaryj (talk) 05:04, 9 November 2018 (UTC) ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emissary j (talk • contribs)
- 1. Sources fail to show significant roles in multiple shows. Minor parts don't cut it. Fails Criteria 1.
- 2. Linking to a fan club is not a way to show significant fan base - you need multiple reliable sources from WP:SECONDARY sources. Fails criteria 2.
- 3. Competing at a show is not unique, prolific or innovative, especially when they don't even win.
- So sorry, no way is WP:NACTOR met or even close to being met. Ravensfire (talk) 14:16, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- 1. Having entered the show Bigg Boss Malayalam on the 14th day, he went on to reach the final. This represents that he had a significant role in the 100-day show. He is a model who has recently started acting in movies, so his acting roles might not have been significant enough to satisfy WP:NACTOR, but his significant presence in the television show Bigg Boss Malayalam does satisfy WP:ENTERTAINER.
- 2. Under the list of references, the reference number 9 is an article that describes the fan following Shiyas Kareem has. The article is in Malayalam. I am not sure if you would be comfortable trusting an auto-translated article, but for verification you can cross-check with an admin who has proficiency in reading Malayalam. This should satisfy WP:CELEBRITY.
- 3. Competing at a show might not be unique, but representing a nation at an annual international event can be considered unique, particularly if you are the first person from the state of Kerala to do so. This should be enough to satisfy WP:NMODEL, along with references that cite that he has been a professional model since 2010.Emissary j( Emissaryj (talk) 07:21, 10 November 2018 (UTC) )

- @GSS Malayalilife.com is a website that primarily focuses on entertainment and lifestyle news of the people of Kerala. Most of the sources that are usually considered reliable might not cover every event that happens in the state. Being a regional news, Malayalilife has covered the events that occurred(mentioned through reference 9 in the article), which the other major sources such as Malayala Manorama, Mathrubhumi, Times of India, The Week etc. might have not been able to furnish in their articles.Emissary j( Emissaryj (talk) 08:51, 10 November 2018 (UTC) )

- You don't need to know much Serbian to figure out that "Ekskluzivni intervju" means "Exclusive interview". While an interview may not be very useful as a source for facts (except for her own statements and opinions), it certainly helps establish notability and SIGCOV. A respectable magazine does not perform "exclusive interviews" with little-known people.
Actually, she was featured in over a dozen issues of several fashion magazines, see http://www.designscene.net/female-models/mina-cvetkovic for the full list. I'm not into the fashion scene at all, but I the sheer range of sources I found negates your statement that she is "not a relevant or notable person". No such user (talk) 09:18, 22 October 2018 (UTC)- For more prestige possess a publisher, an interview should only be used as a source to support a statement, not to demonstrate relevance. An interview is merely the publication of someone's personal objections. Wikipedia is not a directory or annex of any model or similar. Probably dozens, or hundreds of models, mostly devoid of enciclopedic relevance, have posed in such magazines, such as Elle. --Vercelas (quaestiones?) 23:36, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Should be a redirect to Tokyo subway sarin attack#Kenichi Hirose. Classic case of WP:BIO1E. But an editor is insistent on continuously recreating the article. So here we are. Onel5969 TT me 15:20, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. The reasons are as following:
- The WP:BIO1E said that "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." Besides, if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. I believe this article meets such rules. Tokyo subway sarin attack is highly significant, Hirose also plays a very important role in this event. I understand WP:OCE is not a good idea. However, participants in 9/11 such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Mohamed Atta is even related with a featured article Jihad (song). To be honest, it's a little bit irony.
- Hirose was involved in a series of events, not only the Tokyo subway sarin attack, but also the secret assault rifles production by Aum Shinrikyo (ja:自動小銃密造事件) and production of other weapons in Aum Shinrikyo. Please see this and this

|I favour redirecting this to Justin Broaderick discography & did so; this was reverted with a claim that 'articles from Exclaim, Stereogum, and Fact that focus on the EP.' None of these are anything more than notices that this recording has been released. Nothing approaching any in-depth coverage. TheLongTone (talk) 14:13, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - Fact, Stereogum, The Quietus, Exclaim!, and Metal Injection all found the EP notable enough to write about. These articles offer enough substance to support a section beyond a lead. What's more, this is an EP, not an album, so the requirements for notability shouldn't be as steep. It's my opinion that these sources are non-trivial. Note: I started the article a year ago.

The subject of the article may not meet the notability guidelines, it is not blatant enough to warrant a CSD. Kb03 (talk) 13:27, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect to New Haven Line/weak keep. This was an incident requiring intervention by a member of U.S. Congress, and had minor lasting impact. As such it was barely notable, and should probably be redirected. Pinging @Smellyshirt5:, the article's creator, and @RoySmith and Pi.1415926535:, who also discussed this matter at Talk:New Haven Line. epicgenius (talk) 13:31, 1 November 2018 (UTC) Edit: a few words. epicgenius (talk) 14:02, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect as above. Newsworthy, yes; notable, no.TheLongTone (talk) 13:53, 1 November 2018 (UTC)#REDIRECT [[]]
It is certainly notable as it effected the busiest rail line in the United States, at 125,000 daily week day riders, reducing service for 12 days, warranted a Congressional Hearing where the MTA's president was held accountable, and includes interesting technical details and findings from a public report that epicgenius and his associates seem to enjoy removing and hiding. Thanks. Smellyshirt5 (talk) 14:47, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. Before this article was created, I was thinking that a spin-out might be a reasonable way to resolve the debate on the talk page. I'm not really convinced this is notable at all, but having it spun out into a side article is certainly preferable to putting this level of technical detail in the main article. To do so would be WP:UNDUE and WP:RECENTISM. Compare, for example, the coverage we have of an earlier event which inflicted a similar scale outage: The Great Blizzard of 1888 blocked the rail line in Westport, between the Saugatuck and Green's Farms stations. It took eight days to restore service, as snow was dug out by hand.. That's all we say about that. Why should this event require anything more than a similar two-sentence mention? Railroads are constantly having technical problems. Power outages. Fires. Derailments. Crashes. Not every one is so notable that it requires this level of detailed coverage in an encyclopedia. But, as I said, if we are going to cover it, at least don't clutter up the (already overly detailed) main article. I have no particular objection to a redirect, but given that it's an unlikely search term, I can't argue that it's necessary. Certainly, merging this back into the main article would be inappropriate. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:48, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Weak arguments for political censorship: @RoySmith, why is it so imperative for you and your associates to remove the findings of a public report that impacted the busiest railroad in the United States, at 125,000 daily weekday riders, in the modern era, for 12 days. Not to mention that the MTA has consistently been in the news for poor maintenance and service, which makes this an even more important and enlightening issue for public consumption. The Wikipedia platform is meant to enlighten, not hide. Thanks for your concerns for the laymen.Smellyshirt5 (talk) 14:53, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

- Keep per RoySmith and explicitly not per Smellyshirt5 who is attacking all the wrong people in the interest of teh frees peechs. The information on the incident is encyclopedically useful, and RoySmith's statement here is a pretty good explanation of why a merge is not preferable. It's a thing that happened, it was noteworthy on a regional scale (maybe national considering it was investigated by an agency of the US government), has had a lasting (albeit minor) impact, and is sufficiently well-documented. Just for the hell of it I'm also going to throw in that I like it, having been around for the 1995 Russell Hill incident and lived through the 2003 Northeast Blackout.

Subject is not notable independent of his grandfather, Nelson Mandela. Provided coverage consists of interviews with the subject on the topic of his grandfather (including a book that the subject wrote about Nelson Mandela, which does not appear to be notable enough to qualify the subject via WP:NAUTHOR). Coverage online appears to be more of the same, although I was able to find this coverage [24] in the NY Daily News which attests that the subject won an award of dubious notability and was profiled as part of a BET feature. I was able to find BET's coverage [25], which appears to be almost entirely an interview with the subject and is thus not sufficiently independent to satisfy notability guidelines. He's cooperated with celebrities to promote AIDS awareness, but coverage of Mandela in relation to this is not in-depth. He's also the founder of the Africa Rising foundation, which does not appear to be notable (note: there are several unrelated organizations that are also named Africa Rising). In sum, current coverage does not appear to pass WP:GNG–there's a lot of smoke here due to his connection to Nelson Mandela and his eagerness to defend his grandfather's legacy in the public eye, but no flame. signed, Rosguill talk 01:52, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Before you all start going on about whether interviews are reliable sources keep in mind that that's not what we're talking about here.

- Redirect to The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster as there doesn't appear to be anything more than mentions on the album. Thus notability is not demonstrated. As an aside, @Woodensuperman: - do you have anything against it being a redirect to the band as the logical link? Nosebagbear (talk) 19:12, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

- Delete - I do realize that redirecting to the band's article is now the accepted procedure for non-notable albums, but see my comment above on the actual title of the record. The article under discussion here has a title that is unlikely to be used as a search term because it's not the item's name, thus making a redirect nonsensical. Therefore my recommendation is to simply delete due to lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. In effect, the record is a one-time curiosity for fans that has not been noticed by the rest of the world. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eighties Matchbox Original Two Track Demo, which has a false title too. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:50, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This, well, it's unclear what it actually is, a disambiguation?, is filled with things which are not called the "000s" in reliable sources. In fact, "000s" seems to be used almost exclusively to mean "thousands", as in "in 000s" in tables or charts. Looking for e.g. "lived in the 800s" yields some results[26], but looking for the similar "lived in the 000s"[27] gives no results at all. This article seems to be based on some OR extrapolation that if we have 800s or 900s or 1000s, we should have a page for "000s" as well, but I think we shouldn't actually, as it would be a novel invention, not a common expression.

- Any evidence for this? "Born in the 00s" gives 63 results[28]: "born in the 000s" gives no results at all[29]. I doubt it is used for most of the entries on that page (has anyone really ever used "000s" for "The century from 0-99 almost aligned with the 1st century.", even ignoring that the century starts at 1 and there is no year 0?), so if it is only used for the 2000s (which remains to be seen), it could be a redirect to that at most.

- Delete Contrary to BrandonXLF's claim, a search of the wiki shows that 000s is only used as a method for neatly tabulating numbers in multiples of 1000. I'm not seeing a usage in relation to years. This article creates its own ambiguity in need of diambiguation. In its lack of usage elsewhere it verges on WP:A11, something made up. The same argument holds for 000s (century). Cabayi (talk) 13:52, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- Cabayi, That's metioned first on the page. Doesn't the argument hold for 0s and 00s aswell? – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 13:56, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- BrandonXLF, "00s" is actually in use to refer to at least the eearly 2000s, as in "music of the 00s". "000s" however is not in use for this. No one says "music of the 000s" or "books of the 000s", but the "00s" versions of these is relatively common. Fram (talk) 14:01, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

- Keep There are certainly useful things to direct people to at this page, but I'm not sure the present ones are the best. The 000s play an important role in the Dewey System, for instance List_of_Dewey_Decimal_classes#Class_000_–_Computer_science,_information_&_general_works. I have found a few instances of people using 000s to refer to thousands over the internet, including some in WP:RS such as [30] to refer to thousands of people. I am dubious, however, about 000s referring to the millennium/century and would like evidence of this from Brandon. JZCL 22:06, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

- Redirect to Triple zero is the best solution. The points on the existing page are pretty far fetched. Add the Dewey system to Triple zero Legacypac (talk) 10:29, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. This page disambiguates between a number of completely unambiguous things, none of which are called the "000s". No one calls the decade 1000-1009 CE the "000s" (if anyone refers to this decade at all). No one calls the century 1000-1099 CE the "000s" either. I can see how "000s" could mean "milenia", as in the 0000s, the 1000s, the 2000s, ..., but I have never seen this usage; plus we already have the page List of millennia.
I'm neutral towards redirecting to Triple zero. It seems like all the usages on that disambiguation are for "000" and not "000s".
The usage as "In fact, "000s" seems to be used almost exclusively to mean "thousands", as in "in 000s" in tables or charts." is plausible; however, this is a dictionary definition, and should not have an article.
Someone should AfD 00s for similar reasons. BenKuykendall (talk) 17:20, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - After some internal dithering I think BenKuykendall's reasoning is correct. Almost none of the things currently on it belong and the only remaining bit would appear to be fail DICDEF - and the fact you don't need a DAB for 1 meaning - or even two. I also don't think triple zero, as it stands, covers the 000"s" - it would need a change in title and content to do so, thus a redirect seems unsuited. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:21, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - I would agree with the arguments put forward by BenKuykendall and Nosebagbear. I do not think the page is a useful one and I cannot really see some one searching for 000s when they are looking for any of the articles it lists. Dunarc (talk) 23:39, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Non-notable MMO. Article created by COI account back in 2006, before it was so heavily frowned upon.
References are poor. The four simply under "external links" are all related to the project so I've ignored them. The ones under "further reading", as follows:
- PC Gamezone: short, mostly interview, clearly pre-release
- RPG Vault Archive: merely a link to an interview, whose link is dead even on archive.org
- Stratics.com: link dead even on oldest archive.org copy. Bottom of page notes it's a fansite, so probably not reliable
- RPG Vault Archive: reprint of press release
- Indews.com: too short to be in-depth, actual domain now totally dead, archive.org copy barely has any info about what it was so can't even say if it was reliable anyway
- Gamer.no: personal reflection about RPGs in general, Era Online mentioned at the bottom as something the author played. rest of article not captured on archive.org that I can tell
- Gamer.no: interview with creator (and author of the article), not independent
- Novinky.cz: unclear from context what kind of site this was, or how reliable. Domain is now a news site; not sure if it's the same publication as it was then.

There is a rather large body of evidence for a content creator, who has in excess of 2.6 million YouTube subcribers on his primary channel alone, a published book and a number of other works that have been outlined in this source.
Surely there must be precedents set by the likes of Jacksepticeye that such figures are of public interest.
Any pointers on how this can be supported with additional content to demonstrate its relevance? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrPaperwings (talk • contribs) 20:02, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
- Believe me if anything I’d be biased towards keeping the article as I’m a fan of Dan. However the largest problem for him continues to be third-party reporting. There’s just not enough of it (though maybe that’ll change when his book comes out, as it hasn’t been published yet). In a case like Jacksepticeye, as you can see by searching Google news for his name you get numerous reports from sources like Polygon, Independent, BBC about his recent split. Searching for Dan doesn’t have nearly as much coverage, with only passing mentions in good sources and only a few less-decent sources with full articles about him. The problem now is the same it was 3 years ago; despite his following he just doesn’t have enough external coverage. Koldcuts (talk) 22:29, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

This page was deleted previously in 2016, see here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bình An/Tây Vinh massacre. It was reinstated in June 2018, based on new references and edits of User:A Bicyclette who has since been permanently blocked. I have critiqued those new references here: Talk:Bình An/Tây Vinh massacre#Restored, but no more WP:RS provided as I do not believe that they are any more reliable than what was there when the page was first deleted. I don't think there are enough WP:RS to say what went on at Bình An/Tây Vinh and certainly not enough to say that a massacre took place there.

- Keep. It is at least verifiable that there are allegations of a massacre and none of the sources are suggesting that it didn't happen, so this does not amount to a hoax. The sources are largely newspapers and press agencies, so the claim of PRIMARY does not really stand up. This AfD sounds to me very much like an attempt to whitewash the ROK army. In their critique of the sources, Mztourist says that they cannot access Clodfelter's book. Well I can, and this unarguably independent, secondary, reliable source has this to say,
The ROK Capital Division hunted Charlie in its AO in Binh dinh Province. Between September 23 and November 9, the Tigers of the South Korean division reported 1,161 enemy deaths in the course of operation Maeng Ho. A good many of the reported enemy KIAs may have been noncombatants, for the ROK had a reputation for brutality against the pro-VC peasantry of the region. On February 2, 1966, for example, 380 civilians were killed by ROKs in the village of Binh An, in Binh Dinh province. As many as 1,600 noncombatants may have been killed in the provinces of Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, and Quang Ngai in January and February 1966
— Micheal Clodfelter- SpinningSpark 20:54, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- The newspaper accounts are interviews with villagers many years after the purported events and so they are PRIMARY. There is no photographic evidence or contemporary reporting of the purported events. The AP story shows proper journalistic investigation and indicates serious doubts as to what, if anything, occurred. In relation to Clodfelter, use of "Charlie", "Tigers" indicates a lack of standards in what you say is an "unarguably independent, secondary, reliable sources". What actual sources does Clodfelter give in relation to a massacre at Binh An? Or is he just repeating the same dubious stories that are included on this page? I am not attempting to whitewash anything, but a massacre is a serious allegation and it shouldn't be included on WP without very solid evidence. This page has been deleted once before for lack of evidence. Mztourist (talk) 07:05, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- The AP source does not express "serious doubts" of the truthfulness of the eyewitnesses. On the contrary, the whole article is premised on the assumption that their stories are, in fact, true. It is true that the journalist says "[t]he AP was unable to independently confirm their claims", in part because "[a]s is routine with foreign reporters, several government escorts accompanied the AP staff. The AP was unable to search for documents that would back up the [local] officials' allegations." But that is hardly the same as actually casting doubt.
- Clodfelter's book is published by McFarland, a serious, well-eatablished publisher specialising in academic and reference works. On sourcing, Clodfelter says,
Cross-checking and comparison of sources and, most of all, common sense have guided my research and results. i have employed official and supposedly authoritative sources wherever available, have sought statistics from both sides in each war to evaluate the inevitably conflicting claims, and have tried to verify the numbers reported on the battlefield with the records of the various medical corps and military surgeon-general reports.
- This does not sound to me like someone with a "lack of standards" or "just repeating the same dubious stories". It is not for Wikipedia to assess the significance of lack of photographic evidence, contemporary reports, or the primary sources used by RS (although Clodfelter has a nine-page bibliography if you really need to know). That kind of assessment is the job of the reliable secondary sources. That's why we use them. SpinningSpark 11:49, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- I am concerned by the low standards being applied here. A massacre is a very controversial accusation, but you seem willing to accept the existence of an event based on minimal details and very dubious sources. The lack of photographic evidence and contemporaneous reporting should be of concern, because that was available for other massacres, such as My Lai Massacre, Đắk Sơn massacre, Hue Massacre, Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất massacre, Son Thang massacre etc. Re the AP, I don't agree that "the whole article is premised on the assumption that their stories are, in fact, true" what gives you that impression? Once again I am asking you specifically what Clodfelter gives as his sources for the Binh An massacre, not general statements as to sourcing, so what are they? If all Clodfelter has done is copy details from WP or those same newspaper reports then it isn't any more reliable than those underlying sources. Mztourist (talk) 16:47, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- If the accusations are dubious, it is down to you to find reliable sources saying that. The article can then be balanced with that material. Until then, your position is entirely WP:OR. SpinningSpark 17:04, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- That is a rubbish argument. WP:V and WP:RS are the pillars of Wikipedia. Vietnamese POV pushers have created a number of pages regarding purported massacres based on tenuous sources, I am simply challenging them to ensure that WP:V and WP:RS are met. You haven't answered any of the other issues I raised on the talk page and are refusing to answer the simple question of what Clodfelter gives as his sources for the Binh An massacre. Mztourist (talk) 04:33, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- I don't know what sources Clodfelter used. Presumably they are in his nine-page bibliography that I already pointed you to. There is no reason why I should be required to name Clodfelter's sources; Clodfelter is the source I am citing. If I were to name his sources, would you then ask what sources they used? Eventually, we would get back to primary sources which you have already made a big case of rejecting. I can only surmise that nothing will ever satisfy you. SpinningSpark 08:58, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

I can't see this one at the NYT, but someone with a subscription might be able to check it out, and the title sounds promising: "Hail Alexander Lambert; Musicians honor him as he rounds out 50 years of teaching piano."

Is not independently notable outside of Ru Paul's Drag Race and does not meet general, entertainer, or biographies notability guidelines. Attempts to restore redirect to Drag Race have been undone and so I am seeking community consensus that Carrion is not yet notable and the redirect should be restored.

- Delete as per Barkeep49. Searches did not turn up anything to show they pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 00:15, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: I have not assessed notability or secondary coverage, but if the subject is deemed not notable, the page should be redirected to RuPaul's Drag Race (season 6), not deleted. The redirect serves a purpose. ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:24, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Another Believer: I agree and hope I made that clear in my nomination. Best, Barkeep49 (talk)

- Keep I have told you multiple times that the sources I gave for this person ARE reliable and you have completely ignored their other appearances in the documentary, music video, etc. so the claim that their only notable for Drag Race is straight up incorrect. Plus their social media following, and lower placing and lower successful queens from the show have pages, there is no reason this is not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ratherbe2000 (talk • contribs) 01:00, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - minor appearances with no significant coverage - fails WP:GNG. Staszek Lem (talk) 03:33, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- There are over 20 sources in the references section, so no, there is significant coverage to the article. I don't know what you're on about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ratherbe2000 (talk • contribs) 18:23, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

This article was accepted for mainspace and there has been no attempt to expand the article as it has only three sentences. There has been no attempt to establish notability. Doing a search for sources and all that was found was what is already in the article. All they said is he was Herbalife CEO and only one said that he helped the company through their troubles. Other than that, there is nothing notable about him.

- Since when does CEO of an $8b dollar company for 15+ years not warrant an article on Wikipedia? The guy was Walt Disney International’s President. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1000:b07a:99fb:9d36:724:55d1:9941 (talk)

- Keep, meets WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO, massive amount of coverage of Johnson available, here are some examples: Fortune - "Why Herbalife CEO's Departure Is a Body Blow to the Company", The New York Times - "Chief Who Guided Herbalife Through Troubles Will Step Down", from The Guardian - "Michael Johnson of Herbalife: America's highest paid CEO in 2011 ".

- oh, and heres a profile from Bloomberg. Coolabahapple (talk) 21:55, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Coolabahapple: The first couple of sources you linked to are already in the article. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 04:55, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- yep, and they are good for notability. Coolabahapple (talk) 09:10, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep Former CEO of notable multinational corporation. More detailed coverage in reliable sources like Boston Globe, LA Times, NYT. –Ammarpad (talk) 05:52, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. WP:TOOLITTLE is not a valid reason to delete an article, and there's plenty of sources available to use to expand it. --Nathan2055talk - contribs 08:48, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Nathan2055: There has been no attempts to expand the article. If nothing else, it should be back in draft until it is suitable for mainspace. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 17:59, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
