The result was redirect to Victoria Monét#Discography. There's a clear consensus that the subject is not notable for a stand-alone article, but that a redirect is reasonable, and no one's objected to this.

Ineligibile for PROD due to de-PROD in 2008.

No indication this is a notable drug. I checked PubMed, GBooks, and GScholar. GBooks and GScholar had only trivial name-drops (and GScholar only three at that). Most of the GBooks hits are in books about living gluten-free, not even medical books. PubMed had zero hits. ♠PMC(talk) 21:11, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really need a two-item disambiuation page here? Qwirkle (talk) 18:34, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not any more it isn’t, nor should it ever have been. Can you give any proof that this term is widely used for the Marathon Bombing? Qwirkle (talk) 22:04, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwirkle: Just a heads up I added the Marathon Bombing one back. I google searched "Boston Massacre" 2013 and came up with more than a few articles calling it the Second Boston Massacre. I did !vote delete on this, and if it does get deleted, I recommend adding the Boston Bombing article to the hatnote at Boston Massacre, since it's possible people might try to find the Boston Bombing article by searching our site for Boston Massacre. Cheers, cymru.lass (talkcontribs) 22:28, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • See WP:DABPRIMARY: The primary topic is the one reached by using the disambiguation page title without the (disambiguation) qualifier... Since it is unlikely that this primary topic is what readers are looking for if they have reached the disambiguation page, it should not be mixed in with the other links. It is recommended that the link back to the primary topic appear at the top, in a brief explanatory sentence. (emphasis added) Boston Massacre is the primary topic, and thus should not be in the list but be a bolded item at the top. cymru.lass (talkcontribs) 22:00, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwirkle: It was poorly formatted, with the bold term also linked. @Cymru, your analysis about the proper form of disambiguation pages is not correct, as I have read it. The disambiguation page has to have the main meaning of the term, in the list with the other terms. -Inowen (nlfte) 22:11, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Inowen: my comment quotes directly from the page. Per WP:DABPRIMARY, if the primary topic is hosted at the name of the topic [minus the (disambiguation) qualifier], it should not be mixed in with the other links. It is recommended that the link back to the primary topic appear at the top, in a brief explanatory sentence.. I don't know how more clear it can get than a direct quote. I will change it back to keep with guidelines. cymru.lass (talkcontribs) 22:16, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Cymru: PS: Whoever wrote that doesn't know what they are talking about, and is probably trying to destroy Wikipedia in some way. Look at any few disambiguation page and see if they omit the main topic; they really shouldn't. Also people don't arrive at pages just from the main topic page, there are several ways that people arrive at disambiguation pages. -Inowen (nlfte) 22:20, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Inowen: Nowhere did I suggest omitting the main topic... Nor did my edit ever remove the main topic. Point to me where I said that, or where the guideline page said that. These guidelines are agreed upon by the thousands of editors who have contributed to forming community consensus. cymru.lass (talkcontribs) 22:24, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Cymru: I honor that you were referencing someone else's writing, and that that writing which was of poor form did not come from you Cymru. You should not reference it, you should bring it up at the policy meetings and point out how it is flawed. -Inowen (nlfte) 22:28, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Inowen: How is a Wikipedia guideline that has been around for years that has the backing of community consensus reprehensible? Of note, it doesn't say to leave out the primary topic, as you seem to be convinced it does. And the place to raise an issue with a guideline or policy is on its talk page, not in an AfD. Also, FYI, referring to me as "Cymru" means you're calling me Wales. I am not a country. It's cymru.lass. cymru.lass (talkcontribs) 22:34, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This subject does not meet WP:BASIC. Coverage found in searches for independent, reliable sources is limited to fleeting passing mentions, name checks and a couple of quotations from the subject. The article is entirely reliant upon primary sources, which do not establish notability. Furthermore, several participants in the previous AfD discussion based notability upon those primary sources.

  • Delete per nomination. The few sources that can be found are all primary ones. There is no independent, verifiable notability. -The Gnome (talk) 18:58, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not finding significant coverage beyond the 200 words in a Manila Bulletin opinion column, which leaves only non-independent (Church News, Ensign) and not reliable ("Grampa Bill") sources, alongside a barely-rewritten PR blurb in the Meridian Magazine source (compare to Mormon Newsroom official PR: [3]) that is obviously not independent. None of those count toward notability. So the subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Open to alternatives if significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources emerges, but even the article only makes claims about holding different jobs within the church, suggesting such coverage is unlikely.

  • Hi, I have declared my conflict of interest in ACT 2 CAM and I am working hard to keep the content verifiable. The majority of edits over the last week have been to update information and remove dead links. Nobody else updated the out-of-date information so I felt I had to remove out of date material and update changes myself. If there is anything I can do to maintain the integrity of the article I will do so. I have referenced articles written about ACT 2 CAM in national newspapers such as The Stage, The Guardian and Sky News. Best wishes, Obsteve (talk) 23:40, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I've added some archive links etc., so we can better see what the sources are. I assessed all the existing references, and made a list on the article's talk page. At the moment, there isn't sufficient evidence of coverage to meet the notability requirements of WP:GNG/WP:ORGCRITE. There don't appear to be any references to significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources, so additional citations would be required to establish notability. --IamNotU (talk) 21:38, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Entirely promotional, reads like a brochure or website promoting the company. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion. Also I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. First off, notability isn't inherited and coverage of their productions doesn't translate to notability of this company. Mentions-in-passing in some articles fail to provide any depth of coverage on the company and these references fail WP:CORPDEPTH. Blogs are not regarded as reliable sources and fail WP:RS. Other references rely entirely on quotations from connected sources and fail WP:ORGIND. There does not appear to be any intellectually independent coverage. Topic therefore fails GNG and WP:NCORP.

  • Delete Notability is clearly not established by existing sources, as noted above and outlined on the talk page. It's been 14 days, and none have been forthcoming. I did a thorough web search and was not able to find any. In addition, the article was created and written almost exclusively by the head of the company, who meets the definition of a paid editor, and had not disclosed that at the time. Even if notability was to be established, now or in the future, the best course would be to WP:BLOWITUP and start from scratch, following proper COI procedure. --IamNotU (talk) 13:08, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment To elaborate on my Keep !vote (thanks RoySmith for the chance—slow connections hinder much). It is hard to understand how this article ended up in AfD since the coverage is extensive and significant enough. The Smithsonian Institution has it featured in its Museum Day and that is because the Cotton Belt Rail Historical Society operates the popular Arkansas Railroad Museum (which is different than saying “it is housed at the Arkansas Railroad Museum”). But the society is more than just the museum as its society chapters shows. In fact, it begot the museum and the museum is mostly the public face of the society. The organization, which is a historical and thus a scholarly society, is extolled in scholarly publications for its support to researchers, its restauration projects (here too), its non-museum collections (here is on the same footing as the VHS). Even while these small and underfunded institutions shine mostly within scholarly circles and publications, the CBRHS has also gotten newspapers attention (e.g., see here, here and here), and have been doing it for a while already. What else should we ask of a historical society?Den... (talk) 01:46, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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

This page is a bit flawed for a couple of reasons. First of all, what can be classed as totalitarian is disputed and the article does not exactly define what makes these countries totalitarian. Some may seem obvious but a lack of a definition may confuse some who may not find it so obvious. Secondly, it's quite a trivial criteria and is essentially "List of authoritarian regimes supported by the United States" all over again and according to WP:LISTDD, a list should not be based on something so trivial. Third is that this could be viewed as a POV fork which violates WP:NPOVVIEW and even on the article it states that some countries like Fascist Italy and the Empire of Japan being totalitarian is disputed. Finally, the factual accuracy of the article is disputed and there needs to be additional sources for verification. For those four reasons, I propose the deletion of this article. I am aware I already proposed the deletion of this earlier this year but the consensus was keep but things need to be improved and so far I have yet to see any improvements on this article.

One of the sources directly asserts this, saying "There is much confusion about what is meant by totalitarian in the literature" (#17 Rummel, R.J. (1994)). This confusion leads to endless churn and disagreement over what to include or not. It's not black and white only POVs. Given how the term 'totalitarian' is often used by political enemies to disparage former or current regimes, it's biased to find a single commentator who uses the term in a reliable source without some broader examination of the literature. If it must exist, it should be in prose form where editors have room to play out back and forth opinions and let the reader decide if it's totalitarian. -- GreenC 06:13, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I’m against the deletion of the article, I agree it needs some expansion and work but right now it’s not like it’s inaccurate, and it’s really useful when someone is looking for a list of dictatorships and stuff, I find it really useful, especially for ideologies. The History Nerd5 (talk) 15:26, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]


What is and isn't totalitarian is down to what reliable sources say. That it might be called "opinion" is irrelevant. Benjamin (talk) 18:10, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is missing the point. Totalitarian is a matter of controversial opinion. This list is highly POV by favoring the sources that say yes, while completely ignoring sources that say otherwise. There's no room to discuss the pros and cons of why a regime might be called totalitarian, who is calling it totalitarian, and to give space to opposing POVs. The list is highly biased and will continue to be battleground. -- GreenC 18:17, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As I said before, just because it's controversial, doesn't mean it should be deleted. Work out disagreements on the talk page. If a regime is called totalitarian by most sources, then so it is. Benjamin (talk) 18:27, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, there is no academic agreement on the meaning of totalitarian, I provided a source above, there is no way to just "work it out". Wikipedia was not designed this way, it was designed to allow for multiple POVs on controversial topics, not a single POV chosen on the talk page. A list is completely inappropriate for this topic. -- GreenC 18:33, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There doesn't have to be a perfect agreement. If there's disagreement, decide if most sources go one way or another, and then mention the disagreement on the article for that particular country. Benjamin (talk) 19:06, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That assumes it's even possible to decide if debates weigh towards one or another or somewhere in between. This is why we allow for inclusion of multiple POVs fully explained and expanded upon in prose format and let the reader decide. But that is not practical in a list article, where inclusion automatically labels it. -- GreenC 19:22, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Of course there may be some edge cases, but I'd think usually the plurality of sources would go one way or another. Benjamin (talk) 19:29, 11 October 2018 (UTC

No actual totalitarian regime calls themselves “totalitarian” they don’t do that, why? Because they want to have a good international image and to be able to import and export stuff (in the case for less powerful totalitarian countries). I agree with the idea of adding totalitarian states to the list that are described by most sources as “totalitarian”, just because some Stalin loving communist weeb is throwing a fit about Stalinist Russia being on a list of “totalitarian regimes” doesn’t mean we should delete it, if we are going to delete this because it might offend other people then I suppose we need to delete every other dang article on Wikipedia that has the slightest bit of controversy or has offended someone. The History Nerd5 (talk) 23:00, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please assume good faith. Reliable neutral academic literature says "There is much confusion about what is meant by totalitarian in the literature", the controversy is real outside partisan questions. -- GreenC 23:56, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any really high quality source that would say that North Korea isn't totalitarian? That the USSR wasn't? Like I said, there might be some disagreement about edge cases, but there are also cases where there isn't. Benjamin (talk) 07:14, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - responding in order to Nom's points. Regarding the first point, the failure to define would only have any reasonableness if we felt it was impossible for any definition for the majority of totalitarian countries to be satisfied (even if as simple as most reliable media refers to them as such). The second point regarding countries added under trivial criteria seems more of a clean-up point, the list itself doesn't seem unviable and trivial. Third, the presence of edge/potentially wrong cases doesn't indicate a POVFORK. It may be NPOV but it isn't unjustifiable. The factual accuracy of the majority of listed countries isn't really disputed. The need for clean-up remains, but a failure to progress doesn't change the underlying reasons for an article either warranting a Keep or Delete.

  • Speedy Keep as this seems to be some sort of pointy reprisal for a disagreement elsewhere. And notice that the nominator has not even had the courtesy to notify the article's creator. As for the subject, she is clearly notable per WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. She was covered in detail in a recent TV show that I happened to watch and, when I followed up, I soon found a detailed account of her life. That's two respectable sources and it is easy to find more coverage such as this account of a plant that she discovered and named after her husband. You can see the woman herself in action here. There is now a snowdrop named in her honour, as reported here. Andrew D. (talk) 18:47, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I resent the implication that I'm acting out of bad faith. Better focus on the AfD, Andrew D., and avoid personal attacks.

  • Procedural close the article has problems (three sources into the ref list I found a Blogspot source), but there is somewhat reasonable independent coverage available here, here, here and here. The nomination does not give a reason for deletion (Deletions on other-language wikis are not reasons here), so this is perhaps also a procedural close. One might ask why there is a sudden need to delete the article in two different wikis. The German deletion was two weeks ago. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:44, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. No valid argument clearly supplied for deletion. One argument can, however, be inferred: "Over on de:WP, Hansen was judged not to merit an encyclopedia entry (and not merely an entry in German), QED." I've read Google's English quasi-translation of the discussion, and it's not so garbled that I can't get the gist of it. I'm not convinced. A lot of it is along the lines of: "He's less notable than are various [unspecified] photographers whose articles have been deleted." Even if this were true, it would be invalid here: see WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Well, is he notable? There are chapters devoted to him in books from publishers of some merit; therefore yes he is notable. -- Hoary (talk) 05:17, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. No valid argument supplied for deletion and subject satisfies notability: a member of In-Public; 2 monographs; group exhibitions in notable venues (Deichtorhallen, Museum of Warsaw and Museo di Roma in Trastevere) and on various continents; solo exhibitions (at venues unknown to me or to Wikipedia); and inclusion in a number of survey publications on street photography including Street Photography Now. Coverage in WP:RS is not overwhelming but is ample: Die Zeit, Aesthetica, and HuffPost. The German Wikipedia deletion process appears to be a discussion rather than a vote. The discussion reads via translation to be full of sarcasm, as though something has wound people up the wrong way, presumably the subject's having edited the article themselves (under their own name). I cannot get behind reasoning such as this used in that discussion: "As a photo artist you should have a solo exhibition about every 18-24 months, at least a handful distributed to the country or Europe." (translation). -Lopifalko (talk) 07:48, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The exhibition in the Deichtorhallen was not a relevant group exhibition but a mass exhibition with more than 50 photographers. The exhibitions in Cardiff, Berlin, London, Warsaw are not relevant exhibitions, but lobby and marketing exhibitions of the group Streetphotography now on the respective book publications. Hansen has also no solo exhibition in a relevant museum or in a non-private gallery. The groups in which Hansen is represented are not really relevant groups in the sense of art, but rather communities of interest. There is no explicit review of Hansen's work by an expert. The mentions in the magazines are more like his own work shows than expertises on his works. Both the German and the English Wikipedia entry were largely written by the artist himself. A lot of quantity, little quality. Lots of filler, little really relevant! German Wikipedia has consequently deleted the article, because even in Germany they do not see Hansen as an encyclopaedically relevant artist. Wikipedia is not a business directory. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and we should finally be aware of that and increase the quality and the standard and not make a phonebook out of it. --93.131.28.133 (talk) 21:40, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on the paragraph above by the Telefonica Deutschland GmbH customer (TDC): Yes, Hansen's article started out as written by Hansen. Here it is in the final form in which Hansen wrote it (with very minor changes by others). Note three points about this. First, however wrong it was for Hansen to have written it, it's not the cringeworthy, self-congratulatory tosh that's normally disgorged by autobiographers, but instead pretty sober. Secondly, it has been extensively reworked since (primarily by Lopifalko). Thirdly, while strongly discouraged, autobiography is not one of the reasons for deletion. ¶ TDC's understanding of the word relevant and my own appear to be different. Or maybe the problem is that they're saying that this or that is "not relevant" without saying what it's not relevant to. Anyway, any exhibition by Hansen, no matter how trivial, is relevant to Hansen. This of course doesn't mean that it's necessarily worth mentioning in an article about Hansen. If Hansen's work appears in an exhibition of work by fifty or more photographers then it needn't and probably shouldn't be mentioned. (There are imaginable exceptions, such as if we have reviews saying that Hansen's work stood out among the rest.) ¶ TDC says that "The exhibitions in Cardiff, Berlin, London, Warsaw are [...] lobby and marketing exhibitions [...]". Evidence for this claim, please. ¶ TDC says "Hansen has also no solo exhibition in a relevant museum". Has he or has he not had a solo exhibition at Palais für aktuelle Kunst? If he did have one, we should be told just what it is that's irrelevant to this museum. -- Hoary (talk) 22:58, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment to Hoary. I can understand that Lopifalko is offended in his vanity when the article is deleted. After all, he worked a lot on it. And it's really touching that you are committed to it. But your commitment doesn't make the article more relevant. There seems to be other interests than the quality of Wikipedia, whichever. The Palais für aktuelle Kunst is completely meaningless in Germany.--77.181.14.177 (talk) 05:54, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've take a look at the removal of the speedy on the article and my opinion is simply persisting re-instating the speedy removed by the creator and templating up though to warning level four should have been sufficient to get them blocked rather than coming to AfD. The discussion on the various uses of Black Sheep Productions should be an indicator to the next person creating an article under this name that is should be created as a more specific name and not try to claim the primary topic.

  • Considering other Rinus Michels amateur winners include Wilfred van Leeuwen (there's some coverage of his move to an assistant coach at FC Eindhoven but probably should be AfD'd) and Simon Ouaali's coverage of winning the award is similar to [7] and appears to be a borderline article for AfD as well (I did find [8] on Oualli.) I don't think winning the award as an amateur coach is a presumptive notability grant which is why I'm curious as to what the best three sources are. Also, you quote WP:NOTROUTINE which is an essay. SportingFlyer talk 15:08, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You're right on van Leeuwen - it looked to me as if he was the trainer under Nascimento since I don't read Dutch. I'm leaning keep, I just want to see another feature article or two - a lot of these articles are only a couple paragraphs long. SportingFlyer talk 01:00, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I do read Dutch but not knowing a language one can still make good contributions, including in AFDs. It just takes a little extra time. Here the research has been done. Helpful quotes are in the references. Titles have been translated. If something remains unclear, you can stick it into Google Translate. These 30 references are just a small part of what has been published about Van den Berg, from the 1970s upto this very month. There is much more but the article is well referenced as is. gidonb (talk) 05:06, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Gidonb: It is difficult when you're not familiar with the language. It's clear to me the sources I've tried can't show notability (for instance, a long interview with him) - if you could please point me to one additional feature article on him apart from the ones linked below (it can be in the article already) I'll vote keep. SportingFlyer talk 07:31, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In general, interviews are longer and other articles are shorter. That's how journalism works. It makes sense. If the journalist tells about coach's thoughts when he takes his dog out, we'd quickly move on to the next item. When the coach tells in first voice that only then he feels happy, we say interesting. So you're aiming for somewhat of an impossibility, hopefully not on purpose. That said, this article is at eight paragraphs rather long. Enjoy! gidonb (talk) 08:03, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
PS, I also like the "dubbelfunctie" article that Insertcleverphrasehere quotes. gidonb (talk) 08:30, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unfortunately even with the couple paragraphs of biographical information, the article you linked appears to me to be a routine announcement of a coaching transaction. I also don't think the award is an automatic notability grant - he won the amateur team award, which arguably isn't a "top award in the field." I'm still on the fence about this one - do better sources exist? SportingFlyer talk 11:40, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For amateur club coaches, it is a top award. There is an absolute mountain of sources about this guy on google news searches, nearly all of which are in dutch which makes it tough to dig through everything. I can't quite find anything that screams 'awesome rock solid source' but there is a ton of stuff like this, and there is probably additional coverage in print media, as his playing career and coaching career stretches back quite a while into the pre-internet age, but this is going to be impossible for anyone to find unless they know a lot about football in the Netherlands. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 11:54, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer: Actually, I did just find this article on him, which is pretty great. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 11:59, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Insertcleverphrasehere: is voetballrotterdam.nl an acceptable site to use? I honestly can't tell if it's a blog or a professional publication. SportingFlyer talk 15:08, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Good finds! Voetbal Rotterdam is one of the Dutch prime sources for soccer news. A news site that competes with the dailies and with Voetbal International, the Dutch prime soccer magazine. gidonb (talk) 16:24, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer: I found a second source discussing him in detail: see [9]. Combined with [10], This should be enough for GNG, even if you want to say that he doesn't qualify for WP:ANYBIO #1. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 08:11, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • @MegaMEX2001: Hello i am MegaMEX2001 the creator of article of Microsoft Casual Games, one the reasons whereby I wrote the article, it was with the intention of mainly informing readers who have a taste for videogames either on developers, genres, graphic design among others. This helping to solve doubts those who have the interest to know about which teams of developers have made the amount of games.

I'm a fan of Microsoft Studios games. I also like Sony Interactive Entertainment and Nintendo games, but one of my favorite companies is the aforementioned one, the reason why I wrote the article is that I was curious that when entering the official page of Microsoft Studios, you will be able to find, an option in the part of above in the right the studies that have the same division, among them 'Microsoft Casula Games'.

https://www.microsoftstudios.com/


if we visit in its official page we can see that this small team is responsible for the development of the classic games that appeared in Windows systems later.

however, if we visit that same page we will get 4 options, 'home', 'games', 'community' and 'about'. if we give in the last option 'about', we will appear that it is a small team in charge of developing the classic games of Microsoft Windows.

https://microsoftcasualgames.com/#about — Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Those are all rubbish sources as far as establishing notability goes. As far as I can tell, they are all basic database entries like IMdB and likely list all films uncritically.

Govvy (talk) 14:11, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: There is an issue with blindly trusting the nominator (who has said nothing to the effect that they have searched) and then !voting 'delete' based on that trust (quite aside from the fact that the nominator's statement on this article makes no freaking sense at all "This article fails the WP:GNG as it hasn't competed at a national club level"), This AfD for 5 separate articles has three total delete !votes, and I'm pretty sure that nobody (with the possible exception of SportingFlyer) has done any sort of search for sources for additional coverage. You claim that the topics don't meet the WP:GNG, but if you haven't searched you can't possibly know that. The GNG doesn't consider only the sourcing in the article, it also considers all other sources that might be available (and if you haven't even bothered to look, how the heck are you supposed to know?).
@Govvy: so you don't even bother to try a quick google search? — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 14:15, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Whats with you? Why are you so mad? Why are you assuming I haven't done a google search, where is your evidence for that? To start with, never expect every person to run web searches, you are not winning any points here, I don't like this argumentative approach you have chosen. There are multiple clues here and wording is key to notability guidelines. Amateur leagues for one, like non-league football requires greater source verification to pass basic GNG. Clubs can't simply be added to wikipedia because they were created yesterday, last week or three years ago. I don't see the coverage for these teams, I don't see anything you have contribute here to change my mind. So I will stick with what I know, and the articles fails multiple guidelines.

Someone (Insertcleverphrasehere) has clearly never heard of WP:AGF... GiantSnowman 14:39, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: you specifically stated above that you didn't think a search was necessary, this is disappointing, because foreign topics are already difficult to find sources for, but if nobody searches and is simply willing to !vote delete based on the current sourcing in the article, then it contributes to systemic bias in the wiki. @Govvy: If my comments came across as 'mad' that was not my intention; perhaps you have done a search, but I would have expected you to say so in this diff if so. I apologise for misinterpreting that, but feel free to correct me. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 15:18, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Insertcleverphrasehere: GNG candy? What the heck does that mean? The articles I mentioned at least have sources - I haven't tried to read them/translate them - but they're not necessarily unsourced. SportingFlyer talk 22:07, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify; in my opinion (based on other club AfDs that you have participated in) you have a tendency to overestimate the 'significant coverage' aspect of sources when assessing a source for meeting the GNG requirements. This criteria is of course subjective, but it means that I generally have to double check whenever you say something meets the GNG (or "has a chance of meeting"). I'd suggest using google chrome, as it has a built in 'translate this page' feature that makes machine translation of foreign sources trivial. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 06:00, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Good work finding that FourFourTwo article, but I don't think that would meet 'significant coverage' requirements for these clubs individually. It is probably a great source for the League article though. Probably the only source among what you and I found that meets WP:SIGCOV is the one for Pad Siam F.C., but I can't find another source for that club. So long as we do searches for all the articles, we shouldn't need to start individual AfDs for all of them (this is what I was trying to get at above, but it seems I wasn't clear enough and rubbed some other editors the wrong way). — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 06:00, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep multiple instatances of coverage outside of LDS published sources including multiple mentions in Toronto et al's seminal work on the LDS Church in Italy. How the nominator has classed this top scholarly work widely recognized as one of the best works on religious change in Italy among other things as a primary source is hard to understand.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:54, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Johnpacklambert: Could you post some of those sources here in the discussion? I performed WP:BEFORE searches prior to nominating this for deletion, but not finding significant coverage in independent sources. For example, this source in the article has quotations from the subject (e.g. "according to local Rome Stake President Massimo De Feo, who says", "According to De Feo", "According to Massimo De Feo", "De Feo said"), but provides no biographical information about the subject. Quotations from a subject about an LDS temple does not extend to then make that person notable. North America1000 11:07, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Beyond the totally ignored scholarly coverage provided in the article we have this [21] Deseret News faith section, meant to broadly cover religion, with significant mention of Feo. Here is another DN news article with mention of Feo [22]. We get his mention as the main point man on the Rome Italy Temple in article after article such as this one [www.breitbart.com/national-security/2014/09/29/new-mormon-temple-in-rome-fuels-polemics/].John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:48, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentSource review: The Mormons in the Piazza: History of The Latter-day Saints in Italy source in the article is not able to be previewed, as I tried to do so here, but there's no "search inside this book" option. So, that source lists page 505 as having content about the subject. So, even if the entire page is only about the subject, that's only one source. The rest so far are all primary or provide only passing mentions, quotations, the subject acting as a spokesperson, and name checks. Below is a synopsis of the sources presented in the comment directly above.
  • [23]Just about all quotations from the subject. There are two very short sentences in this article about the subject that are not quotations. Not significant coverage; essentially a primary source per being mostly quotations.
  • [24]Consists entirely of a short quotation from the subject. This is primary, and also is not significant coverage.
  • [www.breitbart.com/national-security/2014/09/29/new-mormon-temple-in-rome-fuels-polemics/] – Another passing mention of the subject acting as a spokesperson. No biographical content about the subject here, primary, not significant coverage.
See also: WP:SPIP:
The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it—without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter.

  • Faint two-sentence mentions, quotations from the subject (entirely primary) and a source from the unreliable, Wikipedia-blacklisted Breitbart News, which even prevented this discussion from being relisted! (See Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources for more information). Sorry, but wow, is this all it takes to qualify notability nowadays? I still haven't seen two sources that provide independent, reliable and significant coverage, so it's a strain for me to somehow consider the subject notable per Wikipedia's standards. Per actual notability and source guidelines, none of these sources establish notability. North America1000 20:13, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Improving an article with passing mentions does not qualify notability, which is the basis of this deletion nomination. I'm also a bit concerned that nobody has bothered to address my source review above, like all that's necessary to qualify notability is to just say, "notable per sources", even if all of the sources actually do not qualify notability at all per our guidelines (fleeting, two sentence mentions, unreliable sources, etc.) My source review is quite objective, so why not address it? Sorry, but hopefully whoever closes this discussion won't base it upon a simple !vote count, and will at least consider the overall strengths of the arguments. That is, unless I've got it all wrong, right? Nope, still haven't seen two independent, reliable sources that provide significant coverage, not even two. There is no presumed notability for religious subjects on Wikipedia. North America1000 21:55, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I myself am actually surprised I'm !voting delete; usually it's the opposite for me, I !vote keep when everyone else says to delete. However, I'm struggling to see how this meets WP:GNG. Of the sources John provided, the first seems okay, but that's just one source. The second does not provide independent, significant coverage, and the third is completely unreliable. A Google search doesn't provide anything else that's reliable, secondary, and significant coverage.

The company is on the list of the largest enterprises of Perm Krai and a a considerable conrtibutor into the economy of the region, they do produce spirits of the high quality which is regularlly prooved by the prizez they receive at national and international contesets (Grand Prixs and medals at The International Spirits Challenge, London; San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Meiningers International Spirits Award ISW, The International Taste & Quality Institute, Brussels, New York International Spirits Competition, Berlin International Spirits Competition, Internationaler Spiritusen Wettbewerb (Neustadt), several times vodka of Permalco was accepted as the best vodka of the year - this is an objective and independent proof of Permalco. Or they're all bought and worthless?
Is it bad that some pictures are of Permalco - that they gave it in free use at Wikimedia Commons? May be others which is in public pomain[25], [26], [27] is bad as well? OK, I remove modern images.
Can eh bien mon prince show me which pieces of the article are just promotional puff? I'll work with them! Thanks for your remarks!--Pustov (talk) 07:36, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One of the sources cited in the article (of dubious reliability, but no matter), says it is the 23rd largest in the country (directly contradicting the lede) - surely this size alone doesn't make it notable. The article is choke-full of platitudes ("Permalko caters home market and exports its products to CIS countries, Europe, the USA, and Africa"). There's a whole section dedicated to a bunch of medals and awards, and generally it reads like a press release. If you created this article (and the ru.wiki equivalent) on behalf of the company, you really need to disclose that.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 13:41, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Now "Permalco" is on top-20 in Russia[28][29][30], and it means they develop successfully.
— Platitudes? May be it's the matter ot view. But there do your sharp eye see them more? Let's get rid of them!
— "whole section of medals" I gess we don't understand each other... If there's neсessity to prove the importance of the company and its products, that's that the independent experts in Germany, England, USA, Russia and other countries already did - by this medals[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Awards at eh bien mon prince page — are they promotional puff or it's objective indication on his big work at Wikipedia?--Pustov (talk) 08:16, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:V, GNG and Geoland. Pin points to wadi near village of Tawyeen. There are sources for an area called Ruwaydah on the Batinah coast of Oman. Also in Qatar! There's a single mention of a 500 metre high Jebel Ruwaydah at the head of the Wadi Sidkha (near Khatt), but that seems a little tenuous. It's certainly not at this location and not notable.

  • Delete. Being a non-winning candidate for political office, which is the only claim being made here, is not an inclusion criterion on Wikipedia — a person needs to either win the election, or have a strong claim to preexisting notability that would already have gotten them an article anyway.

Not notable outside of Robert A. Heinlein. Consists almost entirely of the creator's own interpretations of Heinlein's works. Online, non-RS sources discuss the subject only in relation to Heinrein. The section on 'competence porn' is about an entirely different subject which may be notable, but the section as written is POV and more importantly should not be in this article.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  02:50, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - most of Schemmer's roles appear to be minor so he does not satisfy WP:NACTOR (and I fail to see evidence he satisfies the other standards there).
