- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This list lacks notability per our guidelines (WP:LISTN), as it is not discussed "as a group or set by independent reliable sources." This falls clearly into WP:NOTSTATS and WP:LISTCRUFT. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

- Weak move to List of NFL players who have spent their entire career with one franchise and expand scope accordingly. "NFL players who have only played for one team" definitely sees some discussion as a natural grouping, eg here or here, but cross-referencing that to only include currently active players seems a step too far. However, there is probably just about enough here to form the nucleus of a list with expanded scope (not limited to active players) (compare List of one-club men in association football or List of NBA players who have spent their entire career with one franchise). That said, I would not mind if people would rather just WP:TNT this one. Lowercaserho (talk) 01:33, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, both links you provided are to the best players to play for one team for their career. Not every player, or every player over an arbitrary time limit. I believe the NFL is unique, in that it was very common for players to play their whole career with one team before free agency in the mid-1990s. Let's say this list sets an arbitrary time limit, like 10 seasons, similar to the NBA list. Does anyone have an idea how many people this would include? It would require a significant amount of digging, especially considering the NFL is 100 years old. There just isn't any source that I have seen that lists or groups all of these players together. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 02:29, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- That there are discussions of the best players who are members of a specific group indicates to me that the grouping is a natural one. That is, it's discussing the group "all players who played for only one team", and then subjectively picking out the best players from that group. It wouldn't make sense to pick the best players from the group if it weren't considered a meaningful group in the first place. To my mind, that's enough for WP:LISTN. I can definitely see the concerns regarding WP:VER and WP:OR, though. Even if the grouping is notable enough for a list, it may inherently be impossible to actually compile such a list. As stated, my vote is only a very weak one and I wouldn't greatly object if this were deleted. Lowercaserho (talk) 03:37, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete non notable and useless list. – Sabbatino (talk) 08:31, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete such a list might have a good home in a sports almanac or sports encyclopedia, but it is too granular in detail for inclusion here. Try another wiki.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:01, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - per nom. I agree that this topic gets discussed sometimes, but many, many, many active players have played their entire career with one team (e.g., almost every rookie to start with), making the arbitrary cutoff at 10 years necessary. But once that cutoff is introduced, the list is really List of active NFL players who have spent their entire career of at least 10 years with one franchise, which is not the natural way this topic gets discussed. Rlendog (talk) 14:20, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete per Rlendog and Gonzo_fan2007. The list is both too broad in scope as defined, as well as not discussed as a standalone group: while the topic of "playing their entire career with one franchise" does indeed get discussed, it is always in conjunction with another natural grouping (best players, longest careers, etc.). So it isn't really a natural grouping on its own, but a qualifier/filter of other natural groupings. "All active NFL players" isn't something we chronicle as a list (nor is "all active NFL players with 10 or more years of service"), so I don't think we should be doing so for this subgrouping, either.

Leader of a minor and unsuccessful political party (they got 2.6% in last weekend's general election, winning no seats.) No other claims to notability and I've had a look at the equivalent Latvian wiki article and online and can't find any useful sources that cover him apart from that.

- Delete fails WP:NPOL. SportingFlyer talk 10:09, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
- Keep if somebody can find and add some additional sourcing; delete if they can't. To be fair, notability as a political party leader does not actually depend on the party's degree of success or failure in politics — it depends solely on whether there's a GNG-worthy volume of coverage in the role of party leader or not. I can't read Latvian, so I can't assess whether Putnis has enough coverage to get over the bar or not, but it's a question of coverage, not of how many seats they did or didn't win. Plus the English-language source which I could read calls him "one of the country's few openly gay politicians" — which is also obviously not a notability clincher on its own for a person who's sourced only to two short blurbs, but it strongly hints at the possibility that there's more coverage, and maybe even a much stronger notability claim, to be found. Bearcat (talk) 07:38, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- I do read Latvian and I couldn't find anything that covered him in significant detail outside his role as party leader, most of it was quoting him in that capacity in the context of an election campaign. Regarding the gay angle, I think that sentence makes that aspect sound more important than it is. We are (fortunately) at the point where being gay is rarely comment-worthy in most EU countries. Two openly gay politicians, Marija Golubeva and Edgars Rinkēvičs, were among the 100 elected to the Latvian parliament last week. The latter is the incumbent foreign minister, so that aspect is not as noteworthy as the article implies. Valenciano (talk) 10:38, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Article fails WP:NMUSIC. Appears to be an autobiography (per photo credits), and makes claims that are not supported by the sources. Promotional Claims, for example "international recognition" but provides no sources to corroborate that claim. Vexations (talk) 19:52, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
(Oppose/Keep) Article is not autobiographical, photos were shared by the artist and uploaded for reference. Article has been corrected to meet the WP:NMUSIC conditions and will continue to be sourced accordingly, unfortunately claims of "international recognition" come from music blogs such as an artictle about a song "Vapor" by Atlas [1] from Indieshuffle, that does not meet the citation requirements and so therefore it has been removed.(Oppose/Keep)Kolourz (talk) 20:20, 8 October 2018 (UTC)Kolourz Thank you Vexations for bring this to my attention and my apologies for undoing any of your edits this is my first article on Wikipedia and I am still getting the hang of it.
- @Kolourz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(musician)#/media/File:Atlas_in_2016.jpg was created by claims "Zachary King - Own work" and links Zachary King to Commons:User:Kolourz. If Kolourz is not Zachary King, then the claim that the photo is his own work is incorrect. The exif data shows Copyright 2016 Kolourz. All rights reserved. Please clarify.
(Oppose/Keep)::Due to the fact the artist Zachary King also know as Atlas shared the photos for reference I attributed them to him as the copyright holder in the shared commons licensing [2], but it was also my first time uploading photos to Wikicommons and I may have misunderstood the process. From what I read, they would be considered creative commons to be free to share and download, and therefore weren't protected by copyright. I can ask for permission if the copyright needs to be under my username Kolourz. Please help me understand this process better, thank you for your time.Kolourz (talk) 22:25, 8 October 2018 (UTC) Kolourz
- Kolourz I'll try to explain the issue with the copyright and attribution on your talk page as it has no bearing on the notability of the musician, which is the topic of this nomination for deletion. --Vexations (talk) 23:16, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
(Oppose/Keep)Vexations Could you define what makes an artist "notable" from a creditable source? I am just concered it might be subjective since you're the only one who has made this claim, and marked the page for deletion right after I accidently undid one of your edits. Thanks Kolourz (talk) 23:30, 8 October 2018 (UTC) Kolourz
- Sure. There are two guidelines that are relevant here: The first is the general notability guideline and the second is the subject-specific notability guideline, WP:NMUSIC. We require sources that are independent of the subject as well as reliable that provide in-depth coverage of the subject. In other words; we need to see that more than one competent person, not just some random person on the internet, has written a serious piece about Atlas that critically analyses his work. As far as I can tell, that hasn't been the case. If you haven't read it yet, please read Wikipedia:Help, my article got nominated for deletion! --Vexations (talk) 01:53, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
(Oppose/Keep)Vexations One might equate that the username Vexations, which by definition is "the act of harassing or vexing : TROUBLING" [3] another person or thing, could explain the motive behind Vexations marking the page for deletion as retaliation under the guise of "notability". Which would be in direct violation of the Wikipedia AFD guidelines. Tealeaf90 (talk) 02:05, 9 October 2018 (UTC) tealeaf90
- Tealeaf90 If you think my user name is in violation of policy, Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention is the venue where you'd address that. Go right ahead, but please read Vexations first. This nomination is not "retaliation" for anything. I bear no animus towards anyone involved. The nomination results from my assessment as a page reviewer that the article lacks sources that establish the subject's notability. --Vexations (talk) 02:24, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
(Oppose/Keep)Vexations I am referring to the manner in which you nominated the page for deletion, looking at the view history it corroborates what Kolourz stated. If you were genuine about the assessment, why not nominate the article for deletion first, not after he accidentally undid your edit. Secondly, it does put Kolourz in a troubling or vexing situation, with all of the work now up for deletion, based on one reviewers opinion of the article. For new users, Wikipedia can be a hard and unforgiving platform to navigate, I hope your intentions are well and not to discourage others from being on the site. Tealeaf90 (talk) 03:28, 9 October 2018 (UTC)tealeaf90
(Oppose/Keep)Vexations On the topic of "Notability" although the musician Zachary King also known as Atlas, might not have enough citable sources on Wikipedia yet. He has gained notability performing throughout the Southeastern United States. He's performed with notable Grammy nominated acts like Bonobo, Nightmares on Wax, Minnesota, and more. Publications shouldn't be the only qualifying factor in a musicians recognition or notability. According to the Wikipedia:Help, my article got nominated for deletion! "If you think you've met those standards but the improvements took place after most people finished discussion, one final option is Wikipedia:Deletion review. You can also request the article to be moved into userspace or into draftspace, (especially in the case of subjects that are not yet notable, but will likely become notable in the near future)." This would be an option I'd preferably like to avoid for the Atlas (musician) article , he is building recognition and is notable to a demographic. Kolourz (talk) 04:04, 9 October 2018 (UTC)Kolourz

- Keep AllMusic [2] is a highly regarded independent reliable source for finding composer credits, and a musician must be qualified by their requirements before being cited on the platform. Also Zachary Jarrett King is a SESAC [3] song-writer affiliate which is a perfoming rights organization that is invitation only, which would make him a notable composer and credible song-writer by their organizations standards Maroon 5, Adele, and One Republic are also SESAC affiliates. Tealeaf90 (talk) 04:29, 13 October 2018 (UTC)tealeaf90
- Delete Unfortunately neither AllMusic nor SESAC are part of the WP:NMUSIC notability criteria. Per the allmusic website,
TiVo adds products and other materials to their databases at their discretion
, with no indication of what that criteria is, and further goes on to state thatTiVo tries to add recordings and review as many CDs possible, but can't make any promises about which artists and titles will receive an enhanced level of editorial coverage.
. This does not seem to indicate any exhaustive review of notability, but rather that they review any and all submissions as they get around to it. According to SESAC's web page, they have 30,000 such affiliates. Certainly some (like Adele, Bob Dylan, and Neil Diamond) are notable. But we don't know what criteria they use, nor is there a comprehensive listing of affiliates for us to even guess at what their unpublished criteria for invitation are. At present we only have WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC to go by, and I have to agree with Vexations and ShelbyMarion that this level of coverage doesn't exist yet. Perhaps it will someday, but for right now I'd say WP:TOOSOON. CThomas3 (talk) 21:12, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
- This is correct. Allmusic, per multiple source reviews, can be (though not always) reliable for those profile entries containing career biographic information written by staff writers. However, simple listings--such as in this case--are the result of any music released for sale, compiled by the Rovi/TiVo database. Such credits are common and can be user submitted. In such cases, it is not a significant source for proving notability. ShelbyMarion (talk) 21:24, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

No evidence of notability. None of the sources indicate notability (either primary or self-published sources, or sources of very limited significance or reliability, like "experimental religion"). Article doesn't make clear what his claim to notability should be either. His published works haven't received attention, and are not even mentioned in the obituary in the "evangelical magazine". Looking for other sources gives some bibliographies which list his works (among thousands of others, and without further attention), and a short article in the "Bedfordshire Magazine" from 1966 about a poem he wrote.

- Keep The article has been expanded since nomination and clearly meets the GNG. He is notable as a religious author and autobiographer whose works are still in print 200 years later and widely held by libraries and have received critical attention. He is also notable for his account of the opposition he received to his work, the legal records of which are referenced by National Archives, and which is part of the story of non-conformism in England. His activities in Bedfordshire might seem a little parochial but the county was a centre of Baptist activity as the birth place of John Bunyan so being a preacher in chapels there is more significant than it at first appears. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:15, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. Satisfies GNG. James500 (talk) 02:49, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- Correction. His work is not "widely held by libraries" or "held by around 140 libraries", and his work is not "still in print" (one work has received a very limited reprint in 1972, which has not received any verifiable attention at all). "The songs" has been digitised by the British Library, and as far as I can tell all other 139 libraries only have the e-book, just like they have every book digitised by the British Library. So basically, the actual book is owned by 1 library as far as we know. So, is he notable because his works "have received critical attention"? A 5 line review of one work, and a short segment in a longer article in the Bedfordshire Magazine 150 years later, is hardly evidence of being "notable as a religious author and an autobiographer". Legal records are primary sources and give no notability either. "being a preacher in chapels there is more significant than it at first appears.": not only than it at first appears, but more significant than any significant author has realised apparently. Basically, the significant attention he has received is one short review of one work at the time of publication, and a few lines in the Bedfordshire Magazine. All that remains otherwise is unreliable or partisan sources, one copy of the book in the British Library which has been digitized, and things you believe should make him notable, but where no authoritative sources have agreed with you so far. Fram (talk) 06:21, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- Correcting your correction:
- Seven (non digital) works in the British Library.
- Spoils and Songs of Sion is in print with Gale (but sold out awaiting new copies), most recently in a 2018 hardback edition. Here's the link there are two others too. So since first publication in 1798, Spoils has been reprinted in 1852 (part), 1967, 1972, 1982 (Bible Truth Books, may be same edition as 1972 per World Cat), 2010 by Gale (paperback) and 2018 by Gale (hardback).
- You are wrong about these all being electronic. See here for the libraries holding the 1972 hardback edition such as BL, Trinity College Dublin, National Library of Scotland etc. Religious libraries holding it in the U.S. are stated to be Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, West Coast Baptist College. I have that edition and it is far more than a simple reprint. The publisher has added numerous photographs of baptist meeting places mentioned in the text and cross-referenced them, notes on Hews's life, and a map "The country of the Spoils" showing the place in which he worked so its clearly a work of enduring significance in its field. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:35, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- Every book which has been digitized (and is PD) is "in print" from these kind of publishers, they just make a print-on-demand version (basically, they print and bind whatever you want them to). That is not "being in print", that is "being digitized and PD". The BL tries to collect every book which has been printed in the UK ever, being listed there (or in most other university libraries) is not an indication of notability, just of existence. I can't find any reliable evidence of the 1852 edition or the 1967 edition, the 1972 and 1982 are probably the same (by someone who doesn't seem to have published any other books, not some reputable scientific or historic publisher?), and the 2010 and 2018 are print-on-demand services (Gale is in itself a very respectable publisher; but the Gale ECCO series, of which this book is a part, are some 185,000 18th-century titles from the BL c.s., not some restrictive, specific selection of noteworthy books[8]). So the book has been reprinted once, in 1972, in an edition which hasn't made any headlines (or bylines or even mentions), but is kept in a few libraries (have they bought it? Has the publisher sent it to them for free? No idea, no means to know this, but in any case not evidence of notability). Your claims that it is a notable book (and by extension author) are in direct contradiction with the extreme lack of attention they have received[9]. Fram (talk) 10:10, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- The 1852 edition was titled Zion's Casket and 1967-69 Zion's Witness as stated in the article. It only reverted to the original title for the 1972 and later editions. Even if the most recent editions are printed digitally (like many Oxford University Press books by the way), the fact remains that since 1798 the book has had at least three further printings, quite apart from the other points that indicate that the GNG is satisfied from his other works and his life. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:22, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- Philafrenzy, I know the claims the article makes about the 1852 and 1967 editions, but where is the evidence that these exist?[10]. As far as I am concerned, the book has been reprinted once, by a publisher without any history or credentials, and without that reprint getting any attention at all. Value for notability of such a reprint is nil. Fram (talk) 11:53, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- Later editions are generally regarded as reliable sources for the existence of earlier editions which are usually printed in the bibliographical details, as I am sure you know and as they are in that edition. I wasn't aware of that publisher either but you will just have to believe me when I say it is a professionally produced edition with new content such as photographs and notes and a map apparently drawn specially for it. It is not a facsimile. The value of reprints for notability is not in the publisher but in the fact of the reissuing, in this case over two centuries, which indicates the continued significance of a work in its field, i.e. the history of the Baptists and non-conformism in England. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:45, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- ¨*Um, no. A publication by an unknown entity (we have a name for the publisher, but zero indication that they are in any way a trustworthy source) is not a reliable source for any information, and if like here there's is zero evidence that the information is actually is correct, then we don't accept it.

Now I look at that page again, I think it is likely that Zion's Casket and Zion's Witness are journals rather than alternative titles (British Library have The Spiritual Magazine and Zion's Casket) but that only makes the subject more notable as it means it was published in multiple media and in the case of Zion's Witness in serial form.

- Comment He turns up in an 1800 issue of London Review, which says of Spoils won in the Name of Battle: "This delectable narrative informs us, that the author is a Baptist teacher and druggist in Dunstable, where he has got many enemies, whom he abuses by name in the most libelous language. We are in doubt to which place he ought to be sent, whether to Bridewell for correction, or to Bedlam for cure."[4] Ah, it's in the article after all. --tronvillain (talk) 13:28, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- Weak delete This is a tough one. Personally, I would like the article to remain - it's interesting and imo encyclopaedic. But I can't in all conscience find a policy-based reason for retention. There's nothing in refs to assert anything other than that the book exists; that's way short of the notability guidelines. As a thought experiment, how would we feel if this were someone who died yesterday? I'd like there to be a GNG exception for 'quite interesting, verifiable, historical stuff that's doing no harm being here', but there isn't, and such a policy would be hard to draft. Mcewan (talk) 13:44, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- Keep -- I do not think that autobiographies of Baptist clergy from that period are common, which probably makes this notable, as does the fact that it has been reprinted twice. As an 18th century book, it will no doubt be available on the Gale database Eighteenth century books on-line (which has a paywall). The article is currently an unsatisfactory one, since it is mostly not about what the autobiography tells us. No doubt that is liable to criticism as self-published (and thus presenting only the author's POV), but it is all we have and it is not recent. I expect that there are a few more copies about, if one looked hard, but even if there is only one, that does not prevent it being significant. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:07, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

- Charting can definitely be one indication of notability, but if a song charts and still receives limited coverage from third-party, reliable sources, then it could be merged/redirected to another target article. I do not have an opinion about this specific case, but I just wanted to say that charting alone should not taken as the only indicator for notability. Aoba47 (talk) 01:22, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- Agreed, just charting in itself isn't a guarantee of notability, WP:NSONG criterion 1 says so. But the fact it was a big chart hit in not one, but two, countries, plus passing criterion 3, being an independent release by a notable band (its release almost certainly would have received coverage in various music magazines at the time, given how well known the band were), indicates this song meets notability by passing two of the three criteria of WP:NSONG.

- Keep. Cooper was a D2 first-team All-American in 2016. He plainly passes WP:GNG with significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Characterization of the coverage as WP:ROUTINE is wholly fallacious. Routine coverage consists of passing mentions in game coverage, brief transactional blurbs, etc. The coverage here consists of in-depth feature coverage in mainstream media outlets -- the antithesis of "routine" coverage. As noted by Paul M., offensive lineman almost never get such feature coverage. The fact that Cooper does is telling. Examples of such coverage include: (1) "IUP alum Ethan Cooper living in the moment with Steelers", Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 6/2/17 (feature story); (2) "Former IUP All-American lineman Ethan Cooper drawn to Steelers' Mike Munchak", Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 6/5/17 (feature story); (3) "Former CD East standout Ethan Cooper hopes name is called on NFL Draft's final day", The Patriot-News, 4/29/17 (feature story); (4) "Giants have crowd of veteran guards blocking Ethan Cooper's path", Pro Football Weekly, 5/23/18 (274 words, available at NewsLibrary.com); (5) Central Pa.'s Kyle Friend, Ethan Cooper taking it 'day-by-day' with Pittsburgh Steelers, The Patriot-News, 8/19/17; (6) "IUP product Cooper looking to impress childhood cross-state rival", Latrobe Bulletin, 7/31/17 (721-word feature story available through NewsLibrary.com); and (7) "CD East grad Ethan Cooper eyeing playoff run with IUP, NFL career", The Patriot-News, 11/23/16.

- I disagree - I think they're all pretty routine coverage. Just because a college athlete gets a feature story written about them doesn't mean that they deserve an article on this site, and all of the articles you've written about can be classified as a "local man tries to make local professional football team" with the exception of the Pro Football Weekly article, which I don't have access to. Apart from Pro Football Weekly, all of the articles are local to either the city he tried out in, the city he played college ball in, and the city he played high school in, and they all talk about how he's trying to become a professional football player. He's just a guy who played college ball and couldn't make the pros. Fails WP:NGRIDIRON and I believe the GNG presumption. SportingFlyer talk 22:26, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- Your interpretation of "routine" as including multiple feature stories in multiple mainstream media outlets is unsupported by the language of WP:ROUTINE, contrary to the language of WP:GNG, and well outside the mainstream. Cbl62 (talk) 01:04, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- It's not, though. There's a lot of routine sports coverage in the vein of "local man wins award" per WP:ROUTINE, even in feature stories. I know this as a former sports journalist - hyper-local sports coverage sells papers. The fact every article prefaces his name with the name of his high school or college demonstrates his notability is very limited. And remember, WP:GNG is a presumption. The fact he meets neither WP:GRIDIRON or WP:NCOLLATH and is only covered in his home state doesn't lend itself to that presumption. SportingFlyer talk 01:08, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- You may not think that your view of feature coverage is well out of the mainstream, and you're entitled to your opinion, but the long history of similar AfD discussions shows a clear consensus that this type of feature story coverage is (a) not routine, and (b) sufficient to pass the GNG bar. You may want to review the Player notability discussion library. Cbl62 (talk) 01:15, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Good points, to which I would ask all to please read WP:ROUTINE closely. You will find that it applies only to events and not people. Further, you'll find that "sports scores" as is defined in routine is way below the bar of "feature articles" which this subject has. For a counter-essay, you can read WP:NOTROUTINE.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:16, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- I've read through the "keep" in the "player notability discussion library" and I see about five or six editors who will vote keep on any college football article with any coverage at all, and a number of other voters who occasionally disagree and get railroaded in the process. I don't view this as consensus. This is actually a WP:BLP1E fail. Furthermore, there's no reason why WP:ROUTINE can't apply to people, especially people who participate in routine events such as Mr. Cooper. SportingFlyer talk 01:22, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- The accusation that there is a group "who will vote keep on any college football article with any coverage at all" is a gross misrepresentation of fact that should be withdrawn. The participants at the college football project have differing views but are pretty solid at policing and deleting articles that lack significant coverage. Cbl62 (talk) 01:37, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think it is. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Diocemy_Saint_Juste was for a running back who failed WP:GRIDIRON and WP:NCOLLATH and didn't have any feature stories outside the state he played in. I noted here Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Dalton_Crossan the article was borderline, but all of the coverage after my vote (I didn't go back and look at it) are pieces from his local area saying he's trying to make the NFL. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jimmie_Kaylor was kept off the back of coverage again local to the Colorado area. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/James_Aiono received a two-sentence blurb in the Orlando Sentinel, was saved off of coverage local to the Utah area. Even after the AfD, that article in mainspace is a stub without any sources! Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nick_Waisome was mentioned in a coatrack article about a minor senior bowl and had an ESPN recruitment article named after him but was saved off of local Florida sources. I'm less concerned about Waisome because he apparently played for a national championship team, but still. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Demario_Richard was kept off the back of two articles about his recruitment and about five articles from a student newspaper of the school he participated at. SportingFlyer talk 08:27, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- This is another one of those articles: there were two public interest articles written about the fact a local player was trying to make the Steelers, a relatively short article about how two Harrisburg players were trying to make the Steelers from a Harrisburg paper, a local article saying a local is hopeful for being drafted on the last day, et cetera. There's no national coverage of any sort, he didn't have a notable college career since he played at a DII school, and has only received niche coverage once he was released by the Steelers for being on the Giants' practice squad. If you look at any other sports notability guideline, just because a player receives coverage does not mean that player is notable. Heck, not to other stuff exists, but we just deleted an AFL first-round draft pick! (Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Paddy_Steinfort was a bad pick by Richmond and the article failed NPOV, but still.) SportingFlyer talk 08:27, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Yep, sometimes editors disagree. The comments about "local" coverage do not apply to WP:GNG, the word "local" is not even on the page. Significant coverage is defined as coverage that "addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Note that there is no mention of the distribution of the publication.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:39, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- @SportingFlyer: You are advocating a drastic change in Wikipedia's notability standards to eliminate any weight being given to feature stories in major metropolitan newspapers from Pittsburgh. As you well know, this drastic change was rejected at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Local sources, again -- despite your advocacy there. Having lost the argument there, it appears that you are now simply forum-shopping for a second bite at the apple by filibustering the same issue here. If you want to continue discussing broader issues, I am happy to do so on my Talk page, but I think you've made your view clear for purposes of this AfD. Cbl62 (talk) 14:34, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- No, I'm not advocating for a drastic change, and I don't appreciate you misinterpreting my argument - and my comment at the local sources has nothing to do with football, but rather with local political cruft we're seeing a lot of at the moment. My argument for Mr. Cooper is simply he's a non-notable football player who fails WP:GRIDIRON and WP:NCOLLATH. The coverage of him fails WP:BLP1E, with the event being his attempt to make the NFL in Pennsylvania (apart from the PFW blurb). The fact he got a couple write-ups was largely because he was a local product, not because he's notable - he didn't get any press with the Packers or Chiefs that I can see, for instance. SportingFlyer talk 20:42, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

By that I mean the coverage is from each city where he tries to make an NFL team and is no different from what hundreds of NFL wannabe rookies get each year. There's nothing unusual about the coverage he receives and no football notability standards are met.Sandals1 (talk) 16:20, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
- Multiple feature stories are the antithesis of routine. Moreover, there is no bar on the use of coverage in major metropolitan newspapers from a city like Pittsburgh to establish notability. To the contrary, a proposal to limit the use of local sources in biographical articles was recently rejected at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Local sources, again. Cbl62 (talk) 14:52, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- I have to agree that multiple feature stories are clearly WP:NOTROUTINE.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:32, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- Local athletes can have multiple feature stories written about them and yet still not be notable. No one is attacking the Pittsburgh newspaper for being "local" - the problem is the athlete only received coverage because the local papers covered a local athlete trying to make a local professional team, which they do routinely - and the athlete then failed to make the team! SportingFlyer talk 20:24, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
- As I have stated before (and I think in this discussion, but just to be sure) the word "local" is nowhere to be found in WP:GNG.

- There's nothing wrong with local sources, except local sources generate a ton routine sports coverage, and I strongly believe all of the coverage of him is routine, in part because he's only notable for being a local football player. SportingFlyer talk 00:17, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Or something else? Please summarize your positions.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:04, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- Fails WP:NGRIDIRON, WP:NCOLLATH, and either fails WP:GNG due to the fact all reporting on him is routine or passes WP:GNG and fails WP:BLP1E/WP:NOTNEWS/WP:INDISCRIMINATE for receiving almost all of his coverage from his attempt to make the Steelers. SportingFlyer talk 01:09, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- That helps, I don't think anyone here holds the position that the subject passes WP:NGRIDIRON at this time. I really have a hard time accepting the feature articles as "routine" because most certainly not every college player gets articles like that--he had to do something to warrant the press. I fail to see how WP:BLP1E applies because it's more than one event. I've never bought the WP:NOTNEWS argument because it makes no sense that someone or something would not be notable because they have too much coverage in the news. And as for WP:INDISCRIMINATE, the subject matter and articles clearly are WP:DISCRIMINATE and are on a focused topic rather than summary only descriptions of works; lyrics databases; excessive listings of unexplained statistics; nor exhaustive logs of software updates... nor anything close to that. It seems to come down to WP:GNG and how that is interpreted and applied. Have I summarized properly?--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:33, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- The other important wrinkle to note here is he only got significant coverage after he was no longer a college player - it was routine Steelers beat reporting about a former local college player. (I believe feature articles can be routine, too - we disqualify high school sports articles, for instance.) I don't think there's any argument the transactional signed/released by Giants/Packers reporting is routine? In any case, the conflict between keep/delete here is pretty well defined, not sure there's much more to say. SportingFlyer talk 10:16, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

- Comment I said in my vote that I thought he failed WP:GNG and that hasn't changed. Responding to Paulmcdonald's comment above, I think the word "routine" is often used to mean "typical" or "not unusual". This would be the opposite of what would make something "encyclopedic" or "worthy of note". In this specific case, this type of coverage is given to every player trying to make an NFL team and I think the SNG is clear that merely trying out for an NFL team does not grant automatic notability. Papaursa (talk) 19:44, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- The word "routine" can certainly mean that, but the guideline WP:ROUTINE provides much more specific and restrictive definitions. In Wikipedia, we often use "handles" or "shortcuts" to easily remember essays and policy and guidelines--and those are normally one word or an otherwise easy-to-remember "handle" for our own reference. But they point to a much more robust definition with extensive content that is argued, discussed, edited, and argued some more. Simply reading the content at the destination page of WP:ROUTINE shows that it is much more extensive in its definitions than the single word "routine" -- it's important that we all remember that.--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:56, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Comment. The discussion around this AfD has been constructive. I continue to believe the coverage, including feature stories in major metropolitan newspapers, is not WP:ROUTINE, that such significant coverage is all that is required under GNG, and that GNG is the bedrock of our objective standards for notability. At the same time, I recognize that there are significant factors that make this a close and controversial case. First, Cooper was a Division II player, and players at this level are very rarely notable. Second, we have not found significant coverage received by Cooper during his college playing career. Instead, the coverage found all relates (as others have noted) to his efforts to make an NFL roster, all consists of local/regional coverage, and could be viewed by some as "feel-good, underdog-tries-for-the-big-time" coverage. Because of these unique attributes, this AfD should be considered a very weak precedent whichever way it closes. Cbl62 (talk) 22:47, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing how this coverage is routine. Not every single newspaper coverage of a living person is routine. There is a very specific meaning of what routine coverage, and I am definitely not under the impression that every single one of the sources Cbl62 provided is too routine to be able to pass GNG. Imo, this is a clear pass of the general notability guideline.--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 02:11, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm persuaded by SportingFlyer's extensive analysis above. What we have here is a DII All-American who went undrafted, bounced around a couple practice squads, and is currently a free agent. WP:GNG is ultimately about the presumption of notability; if the sources meet all the other criteria, we presume the subject is notable, unless proven otherwise. It's not enough for sources to exist; you have to be able to write an article from them. The current article is utterly routine, and there's no indication that it will become otherwise. Most of the non-routine coverage is of his attempt to make an NFL team. There's nothing unusual or even interesting about that, so far he is unsuccessful. Hundreds if not thousands of young men are in that position every year. Mackensen (talk) 12:28, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:GNG. The newspaper stories are more than routine coverage. Discounting a small-town newspaper story about a local kid who becomes or tries to become successful is one thing. Discounting coverage in multiple large cities on the basis that they are all local is silly. Many people try out for sports teams. Most don't get even one full length article written about them. He did, several times. Rlendog (talk) 19:14, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

- Merge Per WP:NSEASONS, this is presumed to be notable as historic information regarding a team that plays in a top professional league, and should be merged with Maccabi Haifa F.C. rather than deleted. The article is prose, not merely statistics and lists. This was an abbreviated season, and I expect additional sources would be limited due to world and regional events since 1922/23, so a detailed article is unlikely to be developed, therefore merge and redirect to the main article on the club is appropriate. Jack N. Stock (talk) 16:25, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

- Comment The establishment date of the league is a red herring. Yes, the founding of the league was significant, but nonetheless it was incidental. It's common to trace a pro club's history back to the founding of the club, even if their current (or later) league was not yet established at that time. Here's a random example, and there are numerous others. OK, I know WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but why not start the history of the club from when the club was founded? It would be fairly easy to include this as part of the history section in the main article, and the main article is of a length that could readily include expansion of the early history. Jack N. Stock (talk) 17:31, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

- Merge - I don't believe that a collection of friendlies qualifies this as a season, per se. However, the information on the Hebrew Cup is well-sourced, and is at the least notable enough to be mentioned in the club article. Maccabi Haifa F.C. certainly needs more information about the club's early years, and this would be a part of the club's history that could be merged in to that section. 21.colinthompson (talk) 19:02, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Merge to Maccabi Haifa F.C.#Early years. It really is all of one line (once you cut out the OR in the lede (10th season) and tables for two matches) -
After a period of inactivity, the club was re-organized in February 1923.[1] The club playing a handful of matches during the season, including taking part in a cup competition which was called "The Hebrew Cup". Due to its distance, the club was given a bye to the final,[2] in which it lost of Maccabi Nes Tziona 0–2.[3][4][5]

Apparently non-notable mathematician, highest citation on Scholar is 14. Article is an autobiography, most of it unsourced, and some of it apparently not without an element of fantasy: he claims to have been the "Albert Einstein Chair Professor of Mathematical Sciences", but the only hits on Google for that position (or variants thereof) relate to this person. Of course, if he holds or has held a named professorship, that would be an automatic pass of WP:NPROF. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:32, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

- Delete The article claims that he is a "Fellow of [the] International Academy of Bisosciences [sic]". This organization doesn't even seem to have a website any more, but going to the Wayback Machine finds what looks to be a list of journals they published. These were then subsumed by Nexus Academic Publishers, a probable predatory company. So, don't be fooled. Also, the opening sentence is a copyvio of his website ("working on Number Theory, especially the fields of interest to Srinivasa Ramanujan"). And those 14 citations on Google Scholar? He's coauthor on all of them. He appears to be the same M. P. Chaudhary who co-authored "On identification of the nature of triangle by new approach" (no, just read it), since both its acknowledgements and his website mention a stay at Julius-Maximilians-Universitat, Wurzburg in 2014. XOR'easter (talk) 23:14, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Beyond the failure of academic notability there's a more basic failure of verifiability. The "International Scientific Research and Welfare Organization" listed here as his affiliation doesn't seem to exist separately from him, the second organization, the "Centre for Mathematical Sciences", is a deadlink from 2008, and its archived copy doesn't mention Chaudhary. It is difficult not to conclude (also from the interesting piece of writing linked above) that much of this is simply made up. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:12, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

I have found no evidence that this type of pasta is exists, an unreferenced tag was placed almost a decade ago on this page, however since then no one has been able to find a source that verifies this pasta type exists. A notability tag was placed around two years ago and yet no one has been able to find information about this topic. Links to Wikibooks and Wikimedia turn up nothing; no information can be found of this presumably non-existent pasta. Something important to note is that this page was created by User:Starzynka, who was blocked indefinitely. One look on this users talk page reveals he has had approximately 450 of his created pages deleted or speedy deleted, primarily due to them being poorly written stubs which violated WP:V and WP:N. I believe Pillus is just another one of these pages, and should've been deleted a long time ago. Despite this, there may be a source somewhere, however this page would most likely still violate WP:N.

- Delete. While strictly speaking the notability test for a politician is the holding of a notable office rather than the question of whether he was elected or appointed to it, I have to agree that "caretaker" ministers, generally civil servants who held the office solely by virtue of being the top person in the line of succession between the end of the previous holder's term and the appointment or election of the official new permanent holder, are not entitled to the same automatic presumption of notability that a regular cabinet minister would get. If he could be sourced well enough to clear WP:GNG, then things would be different — but the mere inclusion of his name in a list of all the caretaker ministers who took office at the same time is not enough sourcing to deem him notable all by itself.

- Delete Keep !voters above do not appear to be fully familiar with the criteria for establishing notability. References should always be from reliable sources and must be intellectually independent. None of the sources mentioned pass WP:ORGIND as they are either based on company announcements or rely on quotations/interviews.
- For example, the author of the Financial Express article shows that it is a syndicated piece from the Indo-Asian News Service with no named journalist - therefore arguably fails as a reliable source. The exact same article is also published by the Business Standard, Yahoo and lots of others. The first sentence says at its store here which indicates the article is based on the launch/company announcement and is therefore classified as "dependent coverage". Furthermore, a variant is published by Ind Today which includes much of the shorter article published by the Financial Express. It is noteworthy that from this longer article, we can see that the article (which also has no author) includes additional information including quotations from the co-founder. From WP:ORGIND, Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Clearly, these articles are not intellectually independent and fails ORGIND.
- As another example, the Tribune article is based on a relatively straight-forward corporate event - the opening of a new store - with phrases such as "Amrapali Jewels, a brand whose legacy precedes it"; "have been working tirelessly" to get the store in Pakistan for the past three years" and "With the price range falling between Rs2,500 and Rs300,000, Amrapali offers a versatile range that can be donned with western and eastern outfits." Most telling is that the store opening was also covered by diamondworld.net (different "author") and contains a summarized version of the exact same information. Amazingly it also uses the exact same phrases! Clearly, this is not "intellectually independent" and was produced in conjunction with the company - hence the exact same phrases turning up in "different" publications.
- Therefore references fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 13:03, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

This is a 1,181-word profile of Amrapali Jewels.
The article notes:
Amrapali Jewels. Unlike other Jaipur companies that date back to the 1700s, Amrapali Jewels was started in 1978 by two entrepreneurial history students, Rajiv Arora and Rajesh Ajmera. Both men wanted to start a business that incorporated Indian culture and history, which they found could be expressed through jewelry. They started the business with no long-term business model, just a few hundred rupees in their pockets and a passion.
The two traveled to remote villages in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Orissa and sought out one-of-a-kind tribal jewelry to recreate in their vision. These pieces could be purchased in secondhand stores and pawnshops for very little money, often just 10% over the metal value. Much of the jewelry they created contained compo- nents of the original piece. After purchasing a necklace with 24 drop pendants, they would turn the piece into 12 earring pairs and sell to 12 customers rather than one. By following this strategy they were able to get more customers and higher profit margins. (Indeed, one of the history student founders was also a business school graduate.) Their original store in Jaipur, a 150- square-foot shop at the end of a quiet street, was the least expensive place they could find. At first the two partners made everything by hand. In 1981 they hired a craftsman, and that was the start of growing the business.
Amrapali brought the tribal motif into the realm of high-end fashionable jewelry, attracting Bollywood celebrities and other sophisticated customers. The first Mumbai store, opened at the end of the 1980s, was in an upscale shopping area that catered to a trendsetting clientele. The brand name Amrapali be- came synonymous with this tribal designer look. The jewelry styles remained closely related to those of each individual tribe’s unique design elements but also reflected Amrapali’s own influences. One example, the Panna collection, features carved emeralds in floral designs (figure 32).
Along with the flagship store on Mirza Ismail Road, which is considered the Fifth Avenue of Jaipur, stores were also opened in Delhi and Bangalore, and franchises were formed. Amrapali’s growing e-commerce business is designed to reach the consumer globally and directly. The export business also began growing due to strong international interest in the tribal-inspired designs. By 2002 these collections were available in Selfridges, an upscale department store in London (Kaushik, 2014). Amrapali is now sold in Harrods of London and in retail stores other than the brand’s own. There are 36 global retail outlets, 28 of them in India and eight outside the coun- try, with an office in New York City. In addition to its own products, the company manufactures jewelry for other brands.

The book notes:
For jewellery aficionados across the world, Amrapali is not only an ornament brand but also a cult that has revolutionised the world of beauty and glamour. Ethnic yet contemporary, modern yet classic, delicately crafted jewellery from the house of Amrapali has made Jaipur a centre-stage of fashion. Since its inception in 1978, Amrapali has won a fan club of international celebrities like Paris Hilton, Queen Latifah, Queen of Bhutan Ashi Wangchuck and Israeli president Shimon Peres. For several famous families like Hermes, Corum, Porche and Barbie-Muller, Amrapali has been a frequent and valuable jeweller, whom clients visit again and again. Amrapali has also caught the imagination of glamorous stars of Hollywood and Bollywood. It won the proffered jewellery brand endorsed by international celebrities for the Academy Awards' Red Carpet, in 2010. It is the only Indian jewellery house to present its collection in the Fashion Weeks of Milan and New York. Leading stores like Juicy Couture, John Lewis, Banana Republic, Cost Plus, World Market and many more stock its unique pieces. Amrapali is the first Indian jewellery brand, which is also available at Harrods.

The book notes:
In 1980, two young entrepreneurs, Rajesh Ajmera and Rajiv Arora, saw a gap in the market and started adapting traditional jewelry styles to appeal to a broader international market. Conveniently situated near Panch Batti and the city gate that leads into Jauhri Bazaar, Amrapali is famous for its tribal silver jewelry, but the gold showroom also contains some rare examples of kundan jewelry, a technique in which each gem is set by pressing fine strips of highly purified gold around it. Depending on how much you spend, you may be able to negotiate a discount.

One of India's most well-known jewelry brands, Amrapali was founded in 1978 by Rajesh Ajmera and Rajiv Arora. The brand is influenced by the country's varied cultural traditions, as interpreted by 1,200 craftsmen. Amrapali jewelry is available in more than 36 outlets. You can find everything from a pair of gold-plate floral jaali hoop earrings for less than $50 to a multicolored sapphire bangle for $10,000.

The Pink City's own jewellery brand Amrapali has been nominated for the prestigious Andrea Palladio International Jewellery Awards. The brand is nominated in the category of the Best International Jewellery Brand Collection, which places it along with the big names in world jewellery such as Tiffany & Co, Brumani, H. Stern and Van Cleef & Arpels.
The Andrea Palladio International Jewellery Awards are instituted by the Fiera di Vicenza.
Amrapali Jewels, started by Rajeev Arora and Rajesh Ajmera in 1978, has also been invited to the “red carpet” with other guests at the gala evening to be held in Venice on May 19 with a private viewing of the “Diane Vreeland after Diane Vreeland” Exhibition at Palazzo Fortuny, followed by an exclusive dinner at La Fenice Theatre.

The article notes:
Tarang Arora has not been sleeping well, yet the cause of his restless nights is not the stress from his job as chief executive and creative director of the Jaipur-based fine jeweller Amrapali. On the contrary, it is the rather welcome one of the birth of his first child, a boy.
For a family-owned jeweller — Amrapali was founded in 1978 by Mr Arora’s father, Rajiv, and his friend, Rajesh Ajmera — this is significant news. Will Mr Arora’s son eventually take over from his father? “I hope so — let’s see what he would like to do,” says Mr Arora.
Mr Arora’s father and Mr Ajmera began the company with 400 rupees in their pockets — in today’s values about £4. Fascinated by antiques and history, the pair bought a second-hand car and travelled India’s states, from Rajhastan to Gujarat, buying jewellery from small village pawn shops and discovering the traditions and craftsmanship of different local styles.
They amassed more than 2,500 pieces of antique jewellery, particularly silver traditional designs. Mr Arora says that in his father’s hands, one necklace might then be transformed into a dozen earrings. “It was entrepreneurship at a very initial stage,” he says. Today that process has been reversed — every day the brand is offered jewels and antiques from all over India.

WHEN RAJIV ARORA and Rajesh Ajmera were starting Amrapali, their luxury Indian jewelry brand, more than 30 years ago, in their spare time they would travel throughout India, buying up stunning one-off pieces from remote villages and tribal markets. They are now setting up a museum in Jaipur to showcase some of their most exceptional finds, offering a unique insight into the jewelry and ornaments worn by the tribespeople of rural India.

The article notes:
The Pink City has a new addition to its already impressive list of gems. Founders of Jaipur-based jewellery house Amrapali Jewels, Rajiv Arora and Rajesh Ajmera, are all set to throw open the doors to the Amrapali Museum of Jewellery, a 6,500sqft space which will house a mix of rare jewellery and other collectibles painstakingly curated over four decades.
For Arora and Ajmera, the passion for collecting jewellery dates back to as long ago as their college years and it was this passion that lead them to open the museum. At the sprawling space, expect to find everything from fine jewellery to silver antiques and exquisite curios. Think rosewater sprinklers, plates, tea sets, ornate shoe covers and even an extravagant silver-covered chariot. What’s more? At the gift shop, visitors can get their hands on vintage silver pieces, much like the ones on display.

The article notes:
For Rajiv Arora and Rajesh Ajmera, founders of Amrapali, one of India’s largest jewelry houses, their country’s heritage has not only influenced their modern designs, it also has led to the creation of a museum.
Traveling the subcontinent as history graduates in the early 1980s, Mr. Arora and Mr. Ajmera were inspired to create a contemporary jewelry brand after discovering for themselves India’s rich heritage in the decorative arts. Over the next 35 years, they amassed some 3,000 examples: from 500-year-old “rural village” creations, Mr. Arora said, to contemporary designs like a circa-1960 silver, gold and glass Araipatta waist band.
Their collection now will be housed in a 6,500-square-foot space, an annex to Amrapali’s corporate headquarters in Jaipur, scheduled to open next month. They say it will be the first museum of its kind in India’s gem capital.

The article notes:
Started in 1978 in Jaipur by two young post graduates of Ancient Indian History and Culture Amrapali is now well recognised as the epitome of handcrafted Indian jewellery. Owners of a great collection of Tribal & Ethnic Silver Mr. Rajesh Ajmera and Mr. Rajiv Arora lay the foundation of their company by collecting old pieces from remote interiors of India. They used elements of Ethnic Indians Jewellery in their designs and revived the traditional methods to incorporate in their pieces, creating a design language distinct to Amrapali. Each one is a handcrafted one-of-a-kind piece destined to be treasured.
...
Amrapali was introduced to international market by making its benchmark at a high-end department store Selfridges in London and presently at Harrods. It was the only Indian Jewellery House that was also Official Jewellery Sponsors for the Milan Fashion Week 2003. Today, they have over 25 selling points within India in various formats such as exclusive outlets, shop in shop and showrooms in various famous forts of India. They also have a presence in UK, USA, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Spain. With such success it comes as no surprise to see that Amrapali has created a fan club, with American businesswoman & socialite Paris Hilton, Queen Latifah, Maharani Padmini Devi and Princess Diya of the Jaipur Royal family, Mr. & Mrs. Ram Goolam (PM Mauritius), Queen of Bhutan Ashi Wangchuck, Israel President Shimon Peres. Known families like Hermes, Corum, Porche, and Barbie-Muller are also on the list.

The article notes:
Amrapali. Mumbai-based designer Nitya Arora founded her label Valliyan in 2008, creating a distinct theatrical style that is now associated with her brand. Arora calls herself a 'mad scientist' when it comes to experimenting with designs and nothing is off-limits. She believes that the country is slowly realizing that jewellery can be more than just an investment and that has contributed to the sudden growth in fashion jewellery in the market. This 'mad' exploration of designs and materials often result in pieces that cannot be replicated, so you have a good chance of ending up with a one-of-its-kind Valliyan piece. Don't miss out on the famous shoulder dusters and large hoops on her website.

- Response Cunard please stop posting these overly long posts. Your style of linking is great and appreciated but there's no need for you to include so much text. A one or two line summary is far better. Also, please take a read of WP:ORGIND - in particular what "independent" means. You appear to not understand the meaning of "intellectually independent" as most of your links (on AfDs related to organizations) fail this test - Too often a related party produces a narrative that is then copied, regurgitated, and published in whole or in part by independent parties (as exemplified by churnalism). Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Also, you appear to deliberately ignore parts of articles that categorically state they are based on sources affiliated with the subject and omit quotations/interviews from your selections in an attempt to make the article appear intellectually independent.
- This article "Jaipur, India: The Global Gem and Jewelry Power of the Pink City" states at the beginning Many of these were family businesses, and we were able to interview multiple generations in preparing case studies. The authors conducted numerous interviews with their ownership, management, and production crews and collected over 80 hours of video and more than 10,000 photos. The profile of Amrapali Jewels is a copy-and-paste of nearly every other article on the company including their history, their style, their market and customers, their prices. All photos are "courtesy of Amrapali". This is pure churnalism and fails WP:ORGIND.
- This book "Jaipur: Gem of India" does a small profile piece on a number of "Contemporary Design Houses" in Jaipur and lists 22 firms. The tone of the article is purely promotional and your extract clearly demonstrates and not intellectually independent and fails WP:ORGIND. It also provides no corporate details and fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- The Frommers book is also not intellectually independent and is little more than a travel directory listing hotels and shops. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- "Where Stylists Shop: The Fashion Insider's Ultimate Guide" is also simply a travel/shopping directory. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- The article "Pink City jewellery brand Amrapali nominated for international award" is based on an announcement that the company was nominated for an award (which they didn't win). It is not intellectually independent as it contains no original information clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated with the subject and fails WP:ORGIND. Since it is based on an announcement by an affiliated source (and also contains no corporate information) it fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- The FT article "The house build on 400 rupees"] is clearly based on an interview with the CEO, therefore fails WP:ORGIND. If you had familiarised yourself with ORGIND as asked countless times, you would have known this already.
- The WSJ article "Amrapali: By the Light of the Silvery Moon" has very little to do with the company as it focuses on the opening of a museum. It is also based on a company announcement. Fails both WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH.
- The Vogue article fails for the same reasons.
- The NYT article fails for the same reasons.
- The article in The Jewellery Editor is churnalism and entirely promotional. The source is also a small niche online publication. There is nothing here that indicates anything original or independent.
- The Elle article "10 jewellery stores to check out the next time you're shopping online" is simply another online shopping directory and contains no corporate information, fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- Overwhelmingly, the articles are promotional, all contain the same style of opening referring to the two founders, most are entirely promotional with no indications of any original and independent content, just a regurgitation of the brand message. HighKing++ 19:30, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- The 1,181-word profile of Amrapali Jewels from the peer-reviewed journal Gems & Gemology is not "pure churnalism". It is a well-researched overview of Amrapali's history and business. No other sources I've found go into as much detail and research as this profile so it is not "a copy-and-paste of nearly every other article on the company". There is independent analysis in the article about Amrapali and the economy. An example:
The Jaipur: Gem of India book source has a positive tone but it is an independently researched overview of the company. There is no evidence that the information is based on content from Amrapali. It does provide corporate details such as Amrapali was founded in 1978, its products are used by international celebrities including Paris Hilton, Queen Latifah, Queen of Bhutan Ashi Wangchuck and Israeli president Shimon Peres, it presented at Fashion Weeks of Milan and New York in 2010 and was the only Indian jewellery company to do so, and it is sold in the stores Juicy Couture, John Lewis, Banana Republic, Cost Plus, and World Market. There is enough information to meet WP:CORPDEPTH, which requires "mak[ing] it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization".With the challenging global economic conditions over the last several years, the international sales volume has actually increased through lower-priced pieces, including base metal fashion jewelry and silver jewelry, which is less expensive and easier to sell and often has a higher profit margin. Amrapali’s silver jewelry often contains lower-priced colored gemstones, and the base metal jewelry incorporates crystal and other imitations.
Regarding the other sources, I disagree that interviews with company employees render the entire articles non-independent.
- Response It is difficult to look at the 1,181 word article as anything but pure churnalism. All the photos are "courtesy of Amrapali". The history "started in 1978 by two entrepreneurial students" is repeated in every other "article" on the company. Comments like "They started the business with no long-term business model, just a few hundred rupees in their pockets and a passion" is typical fairy-story poor-men-done-good promotion. If you read again the definition
there is nothing in this article that is clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated with the subject. All of the "facts" undoubtedly are provided by Amrapali. The piece you highlight starting "With the challenging global economic conditions..." is not the start of the paragraph. It starts by saying "Fifteen years ago, 60% to 70% of Amrapali's business was in exports, but today that number represents the company's domestic sales". Now do you honestly think that Amrapali, a private company, threw open its accounting ledgers and allowed some journalists to make that calculations as an act of independent research? That's absurd. It is obvious that all the facts and figures were provided to the journalists. You concede that the book "has a positive tone" but it is far more than merely "positive", it is gushing. It's a PR piece, plain and simple, and every single fact, figure, projection, etc, was provided by the company for publication, along with photographs and prices. The article ends with the standard forward-looking "Amrapali believes that the market .... will continue to grow". This is not "intellectually independent" by any stretch of the imagination and fails WP:ORGIND.

- Keep. Fashion, and perhaps even more jewelry, is a subject area where a great deal of what is published is hype and coi, and if we are going to cover it at all we need to accept some degree of it. And it is also true that in these areas Indian news sources especially, tend to at least look like promotionalism . The nature of the sources we use needs to suit the subject. The basic idea behind WP:GNG and NCORP is whether RSs not given to hype publish about it, and they do, such as the NYT article which discusses the company, and the founder also, and the museum. (Personally I'd prefer more objective standards, but since the consensus is still to use mainly the GNG, we need to be realistic about it, not use every possible excuse to avoid covering a company. My comments at various afds have to some degree contributed to the tightening of the NCORP standard, but carrying it to this extent is absurd--perhaps we have over-reacted. ) (and the photos are of course all by courtesy of the firm--how could it be otherwise--these are proprietary designs!)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article invites additions of hoax and unsourced content and the album hasn't released yet after three years. In the previous AFD, an editor argued that sources such as [18][19][20][21] are sufficient for the article to pass the WP:GNG. However, these are just passing mentions about an unreleased Major Lazer album reportedly titled "Music Is the Weapon". These sources do not discuss the subject significantly or in-depth, which is required by the GNG. The content is better off merged into the band's article per WP:NALBUMS, which states "a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged into the artist's article or discography," and per WP:FUTUREALBUMS - "an album should not have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label." The track listing is still incomplete for this album and there is no confirmed release date. Flooded with them hundreds 07:56, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

- Keep: I've got this in my watchlist: there's a bit of vandalism etc., but not much. For notability, rather than just looking at the four sources mentioned in the last AfD, just search for it in Google: this album has generated a lot of ongoing speculation in reliable music news sources (i.e. many articles just about the album, not just passing mentions), passing GNG, and I would agree with Sergecross73 from the last AfD that it's comparable to WP:FUTUREALBUMS' Chinese Democracy example (and note that the WP:FUTUREALBUMS quote mentioned above is prefixed by "generally", as well as the example I mentioned for high profile unreleased albums – the purpose of this guideline seems to be for cases where fans of a minor band start an article when there's nothing to say yet – the expansive coverage in this case makes me think it doesn't apply). The article is already beyond a stub, so WP:NALBUMS' "articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged into the artist's article or discography" is passed too. ‑‑YodinT 11:03, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - Per my argument in the last AFD just a couple months ago. Entire articles dedicated to the subject by extremely high level sources like Billboard and MTV are enough to pass the WP:GNG. Much of the rest of the nomination is irrelevant - we don’t delete articles just because of the hypothetical concern of fake release dates (that’s something that happens in virtually every article about a commercial product, and it’s an invalid WP:NOTCLEANUP argument.) Additionally, it’s already expanded beyond a stub, so that concern isn’t relevant either. Sergecross73 msg me 13:15, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- From the first section, just the following paragraph has relevance to the album:
Major Lazer revealed their fourth album would be called Music Is the Weapon... stated in an interview with Billboard: I shifted my goal to just make singles, because no one really buys our albums, leading the magazine to conclude that Music Is the Weapon may never be released and that Major Lazer will instead periodically release individual songs from the recording sessions.[8] Reports surfaced in January 2018 that the album would be released the following March,[9][10] but it remains unreleased as of September 2018.
Most of the content is about alleged songs/singles from the album not the album itself. It's still stubby and could be better off in the band's article. Flooded with them hundreds 13:29, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- From the first section, just the following paragraph has relevance to the album:
- Songs...discussed in the context of the album. And the albums almost 10k. “Stubby” is a reach. Sergecross73 msg me 18:53, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
- Still not about the album though. The fact there isn't sufficient content explicitly about the album itself, shows it doesn't satisfactorily meet the WP:GNG and WP:FUTUREALBUMS. Chinese Democracy, months before its release, already had a full non-stub article about the album, so it isn't a great comparison. Also, Major Lazer is just a small side project of Diplo, it's not as big as the Beatles or anything. I wouldn't call this a high-profile release. Flooded with them hundreds 10:16, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Youre cherry-picking difs. Chinese Democracy existed as a stub years before the albums release. And again, this article is already expanded beyond a stub. And being an exact 1:1 comparison to Guns N Roses is not the goal - the point is that it’s getting very high level, dedicated, reliable source coverage, from a musician with a history of internationally charting material. Sergecross73 msg me 14:07, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- "Major Lazer is just a small side project of Diplo"... woah, hang on there, Flooded with them hundreds - I don't think it's unreasonable to state that the name "Major Lazer" is far more recognised worldwide than Diplo's name, and he certainly hasn't had anything like the worldwide no. 1 successes of "Lean On" or "Light It Up" under his own name... I think it's disingenuous to suggest Major Lazer is just "a small side project". Richard3120 (talk) 19:44, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

- Frustrated Comment - This discussion will go around in circles interminably, and I know because I was the nominator for the first AfD on this album. The problem is that Wikipedia policy does not acknowledge different types of "not yet released" albums, so arguments for both keeping and deleting this one can be backed up by policy. On multiple occasions I have suggested a new policy that differentiates a future album, with sources confirming that it will really be released on a certain date, from a conjectured album that has been discussed in the press but with no confirmation that it will actually be released, even if the artist or record company said that it has been cancelled or delayed indefinitely. Current Wikipedia policy considers all of these to be "future" albums, and my requests for something new and improved were met with the exact type of circular discussion that we have above. See this for example. Nobody is going to budge on this one. And by the way, I still think Music Is the Weapon should be deleted as something that does not and never will exist, but according to current policy it's notable because it has been discussed in the press. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:51, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- I will concede that it is frustrating to be discussing this yet again. I'm not sure why the nominator felt this needed to be reopened again so quickly. Its only been a couple months since the last time we discussed it, and nothing has changed at all, in either the subject's status or Wikipedia guidelines on how to handle this. Sergecross73 msg me 15:38, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- Per this - "Genius has since taken down the album's release date and removed a number of the tracks from the page. Sources now say the information originally posted was inaccurate" shows that a number of reliable sources are retracting their articles because they were initially based on the Genius' report, which is now proven inaccurate. There is no good reason to keep this article which has been stubby with poor content for few years. I'm not seeing how this passes the WP:GNG because most of the sources are only passing mentions (i.e. the title of this album is Music Is the Weapon, the release date of Music Is the Weapon is unconfirmed). After cleaning up the article by removing content with iTunes sources, the article is just a single paragraph with an infobox. I don't see why this cannot be placed in the group's article. It only encourages fans to add unsourced content and unconfirmed tracks. Flooded with them hundreds 07:39, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- Again, you're making a lot sweeping generalizations that aren't really reflective of reality here. Dedicated sources =/= passing mentions, and sources writing retractions/updates to their articles doesn't change the fact that the coverage happened. Additionally, information being retracted doesn't mean automatic deletion - retractions can be worth mentioning as well. Sergecross73 msg me 12:35, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Serge, you are a respected longtime colleague and you know what you're talking about with WP policies. But the nominator is not the only one making generalizations. If I read your comments correctly, you contend that any media comments on how the album won't be released are merely speculation. Well, media comments that it will be released are also speculation. What's the difference? The album's existence is pure speculation all the way, even in that Forbes article below. Therefore it does not exist and can be mentioned as a historical development at the artist's article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:22, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think you're quite following what I was trying to convey. To clarify, as long as the content is reliably sourced and directly attributed to the reliable sources, I'm not particularly opposing any content's inclusion. I don't care if we have 20 reliable sources writing dedicated articles saying the album doesn't exist or will never release. They're still providing coverage that satisfies the WP:GNG. Perhaps you misunderstood my comments about handling retractions/updates? My point was, lets say a source reports something, then retracts it later. The nominator is proposing erasing any mention of it at all. I'm proposing tweaking the wording to "X was initially reported, but later clarified as false" or whatever prose one would use to capture what happened. It's not that I'm trying to capture one side of the story, but actually both sides, that it was both reported and then revised. Sergecross73 msg me 14:03, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

- Except for #5-6, this is the same list of sources used in the last AfD. The first four all predicted possible release dates for the album that have long since come and gone. The two newer articles merely ask the musician where the album is, perhaps missing the musician's own announcement months ago that it will never be released. They may be at reliable sources but they still have to do their research. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:22, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, the first four sources are what kept the article from being deleted in the first AFD, I did not mean to have it look otherwise, I was just starting up a running total, which wasn't present anywhere at this AFD. Your comments on the two new sources are irrelevant though - speculation on whether or not the reliable sources "did their research" doesn't affect notability discussions, nor is a release required for a subject to be notable. Its enough that these reliable sources wrote articles about the album. I'm not arguing for or against the probability of the album being released - its not the time or the place for that - I'm arguing it meets the WP:GNG. Sergecross73 msg me 13:46, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- There's nothing ham-fisted about my removing of unsourced and poorly-written content that is blatant WP:BOMBARDMENT. The listed songs are singles but not off the album, thus do not belong in this article. Moreover, there are no confirmed track listing and release date, failing WP:FUTUREALBUM in which the exception "very small number of exceptionally high-profile projects" likely isn't for an album like this by a music group whose studio albums, mixtapes and EPs have never charted in the US top ten. There are a bunch of reliable sources but they only exist because the album is by Major Lazer not because the work is truly notable by itself. Let's not sabotage quality in favor of influencing the outcome of this AfD. Flooded with them hundreds 13:53, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, much of it was very much so ham-fisted. Yes, there is no confirmed track listing, but there are many reliable sources that report the songs in relation to potentially being on the album. I don't care if you remove the iTunes sources or whatever, I'm not trying to pack the refs with junk like that. But hacking all the prose out of the article about the songs, when the sources mention them in the context of the album, is fundamentally wrong. Sergecross73 msg me 14:09, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, it looks more like the iTunes sources were just there for release details more than anything, but it's fine, they can be easily replaced. Like this Rolling Stone source, which mentions its release in respect of being a potential track on the album. Thank you, sources like this are actually much better. Sergecross73 msg me 14:25, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Potentially being on the album ≠ being on the album! This is an encyclopedia not a fan site, it is ridiculous to include existing unrelated songs and call them singles from the album simply because some sources say they could be. If there's insufficient material solely about the album, content about possible songs in the context of the album is unnecessary and shouldn't be in the article per WP:PROPORTION. Unless sources call them singles from this particular album, they should be removed. The Rolling Stone piece was written in 2016, obviously outdated so it cannot be used to support the claim. Flooded with them hundreds 15:53, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- A Plea to Admins - As you can clearly see above, this discussion is not only interminable but it's also pitting brother against brother. What we have here is not just an unreleased album but also a blaring example of conflicting policies. For this album, WP policies support both deleting it and keeping it. But this is just one example of a growing trend, especially in rap/R&B, in which a so-called upcoming album is announced but then never happens for years and years. Here are just a few additional examples of the trend: The Baddest (Davido album), Fantasea II: The Second Wave, El Disco Duro, The One (Trina album), The Queen Is Here, Street King Immortal.
- So should it actually have its own article as an "album" that exists, or simply be mentioned in the musician's biography as a project that got started but never finished? The answer is: "who the hell knows?" In the past I have called for some sort of policy solution to alleviate this disconnect, to no avail. Admins, please initiate a new policy discussion in the appropriate forum, and I will be there with bells on. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:58, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

- Keep: on a basic level, this article passes WP:GNG. We cannot say at present that the album has definitely been shelved, and the recent source from Complex that Sergecross73 posted above would indicate that it is still planned for release, so it's still classified as a future album. But on a wider issue, I have to ask: would it matter even if the album never came out? Surely if it passes GNG with enough reliable sources discussing the record so that a decent Wikipedia article can be created, it's a valid article. Chinese Democracy has been mentioned above – imagine if after 14 years in the works, it had never been released... would we be suggesting that an article with more than 100 references should be merged into the band's article? And the most famous unreleased album of all has an article of more than 130 kB, and could well make GA with a little work – so we have a precedent for articles about unreleased albums. Sure, Music Is the Weapon isn't likely to be as famous or have an article as long and detailed as those two records. But if it's longer than a stub and it's well-referenced enough to pass WP:GNG (which it is), I don't see that it necessarily has to be released in order to have a Wikipedia article.

There are, however, a few additional pieces about him and his work that don't mention the company (or barely mention it) but could be used to expand his bio and cement his notability (they're referenced in his bio or in its further reading section). --Worldbruce (talk) 02:16, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
- Keep with only a quick Googling I found 3 sources from The Guardian which each have significant coverage of the company. Also, 6 of their films have Wikipedia articles: Bafana (2006), AmaZulu: The Children of Heaven (2006), The Machinists (2010), Baghdad Holiday (2010), Tears in the Fabric (2014) and Mass E Bhat (2014). I have added various details and sources to the article and removed inappropriate YouTube and Google Calendar sources. -Lopifalko (talk) 06:59, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Lopifalko: please provide sources that are in-depth and are on the company (and not products - films). As for the wiki articles on the films - they were all created by User:Tanbircdq (presently blocked, I've been reviewing the notability of their article creations) together on 1 Feburary 2015 as part of a Wikipedia:Walled garden around this article - which was created on the same date. As all articles were created by the same (indef blocked) user on the same date - their creation does not indicate notability. I will further note that meeting WP:NFILM is a much lower bar (due to the availability of movie reviews even for small film, and the guideline setting a lower bar) than meeting WP:NORG for a company. Icewhiz (talk) 07:12, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Icewhiz: Thank you for that additional info on the films. I thought that my sources did provide enough depth on the company; not a whole article on the subject, but not just a passing mention:
- "This week, another UK event will focus on those left in poverty by Rana Plaza. Open Vizor, War on Want, Traid, and the Rainbow Collective will premiere a new documentary, Tears in the Fabric, to press more brands to pay up and sign the Bangladeshi safety accord. Film-maker Hannan Majid, of the Rainbow Collective, has spent years documenting the garment factories with co-director Richard York."
- "One year on from the collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory in Bangladesh, social justice campaigners and film-makers the Rainbow Collective with Raising for Rana are premiering Tears in the Fabric, a 30-minute documentary focusing on the struggles of one family in the aftermath of the disaster. An open screening on Thursday 24 April at 8.30pm at Regent's University"
- "In partnership with Rainbow Collective, they have made a series of citizen journalist films with Cambodian garment workers that are well worth a watch." -Lopifalko (talk) 07:33, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
- Those 3 guardian refs - you quote from above - are all passing mentions (two of them have other issues - one is a film screening event announcement, and the other is a product listing for Triad - both of which just mention Rainbow as the producer or being in cooperation with) - they clearly fail the significant requirement in WP:ORGCRIT.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I can't find any sources that would indicate that this building or congregation would be of particular historical interest. The building is included on the Record of Protected Structures for Navan ([23], [24]), but so are 192 other buildings/sites, so it's not a particularly exclusive club. There are a lot of old buildings in Ireland; simple age does not necessarily translate to notability.
The citations in the article are mostly side notes or links to photos. The only one that might be considered reasonably reliable would be A History of the Diocese of Meath 1860-1993, although it's by the former Bishop of Meath, so in my opinion it's not a great indicator of notability as that's very local and not fully independent.
In any case, one source is hardly enough to sustain an article. I tried to look for more using permutations of "St Mary's+Navan+Catholic" but mostly found directory entries, which are not indicators of notability. It's admittedly a difficult search, in that there are lots of Catholic churches named St Mary's in Ireland (even in County Meath there are multiple) mucking up the search results. I'm happy to withdraw if people do locate sources, but I couldn't find anything substantial. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:31, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

The NIAH rates buildings as being of International, National, Regional or Local significance. The first three are effectively listed buildings in a national context. The Regional rating is similar to a Grade II listing in England and Wales, which we would certainly consider to meet GEOFEAT. "Regional" status certainly does not mean it is not a nationally listed building. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:36, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Non-notable subject that does not meet WP:BASIC. Source searches are only providing quotations from the subject, passing mentions and name checks, and many available sources are primary, which do not establish notability. North America1000 07:35, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

- Andrew Davidson: Could you provide links to any of those sources so I and others can assess them? My extensive WP:BEFORE searches did not provide independent sources that provide significant coverage. Your WP:LOTSOFSOURCES rationale does not actually prove any notability. North America1000 08:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- This seems to be part of a deletion spree of articles about Mormons and the nomination has a cookie cutter style. Per WP:BEFORE, the onus is on the nominator to do source searches and explain why they are not satisfactory. My impression that the nominator is dismissing many substantial sources on the grounds that they are not independent. They should please detail and explain this rationale as I'm not buying it. Andrew D. (talk) 08:39, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Andrew Davidson: All of my nominations regarding notability are WP:BEFORE-based, and I perform custom searches well beyond what WP:BEFORE suggests. So, again, could you please provide any links to the sources you find to be adequate, so they can be assessed? I searched extensively, and from what I found, the subject fails WP:BASIC. Also, my nomination is worded succinctly, but it is not a "cookie cutter" nomination whatsoever. The nomination is based upon research, which has not provided necessary coverage to qualify an article. For example, in the nomination I stated that my source searches are only providing quotations from the subject (which are primary sources), and passing mentions and name checks (these do not establish notability, because they do not provide significant coverage). Hopefully this describes my deletion rationale more clearly. North America1000 08:46, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- The nominator indicates that they have found lots of sources but considers them unsatisfactory. I also found lots of source and consider them satisfactory. The nominator now wants me to do work which they have not done themselves: listing the sources in question. Per WP:SAUCE and WP:CHOICE, the nominator should please do this work themself before making demands of others. Andrew D. (talk) 08:54, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, you have it backwards, per WP:ONUS, which states, "The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." North America1000 08:57, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- I'm still not buying it and my !vote stands. As there are hundreds of pages about Mormons, perhaps the nominator can help matters forward by explaining their general intentions. This particular page has been on Wikipedia for over 10 years and I suppose there are lots more like it. WP:BEFORE explains that "If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors, or an associated WikiProject, and/or adding a cleanup tag ..." Has any of this been done? How many Mormon articles is the nominator planning to send straight to AfD? What has occasioned this purge? Andrew D. (talk) 09:11, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- See WP:Wikipedia is not about every person who walked the earth. Just so happens that there are many biographical articles about people that just don't meet notability standards, some ridiculously so. It's okay to nominate these for deletion; happens every day at AfD and via Prod. I could have prodded, but I felt that a full discussion would be more beneficial. Still waiting for those sources, and I don't mind being proven incorrect if sources usable to establish notability are provided, in which case I would then gladly withdraw. North America1000 10:02, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not inclined to produce a list of sources until the nominator starts by producing the list of sources that he has reviewed. In the meantime, editors can start with the source linked in the article, which cites more sources, and then try the search links provided above, varying the keywords of the searches to include the full middle name "Sunderlin". Andrew D. (talk) 10:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Again, the WP:ONUS is on you, not me: "The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." That's how it works, not vice versa. North America1000 11:08, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

- Note Nu Soul Magazine is not confirmed to be a reliable source. Soultracks is debatable but in this case, it only cites their own review of the album. Furthermore, they are NO confirmed release dates for any of the singles other "Fly Away With Me", no confirmed album sales, the Critical Response section is completely WP:COPYPASTE from other links, the Billboard reference only directs to singer's page on Billboard.com which does NOT name the album or album's producers as the source is currently being used for, the album has not charted on any Billboard charts, has not won any awards, and Smith has not been on any major radio stations or TV shows to promote the album other than The Mo'Nique Show. There is no point in listing "Conflict", "Spies", "B-Side Love Affair", and "Art of You" as singles because they have no physical or digital single release; just music videos. When I break it down like this, the article has no reason to be separate from the Sy Smith page. Horizonlove (talk) 18:12, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - I try to stick to the "assume good faith" standard, but the nominator's comments display an unfamiliarity with some relevant WP policies including WP:BEFORE, WP:NEXIST, and WP:UGLY. The AfD process is not the forum for drawing attention to an article that needs clean-up or expansion. An editor who is capable of initiating the AfD process can use those same fingers to improve the article in question. Also, it has never been necessary for an album to chart and win awards to be considered notable in Wikipedia. Those are things that help establish notability, but being reviewed in reliable sources, as is the case with this album, also bestows enough notability for at least a stub article.

For example, problems like copyright infringement, advertising, patent nonsense, or unsourced negative statements in biographies of living people, need to be resolved as quickly as possible." As stated in the comment to another user, the "Critical reception" is completely WP:COPYPASTE. So when you take that out and also removed alleged singles that I can't find a source for (other than "Fly Away..."), you're basically left with nothing but a track listing. So you might as well just merge Conflict with Sy Smith. You might want to reread WP:NALBUMS and consider revising your comments. My reason for deletion is good faith and consistent with Wikipedia policy. Horizonlove (talk) 16:06, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
- Counter-Comment - The COPYPASTE violation can be re-written and paraphrased to indicate that the publication really did mention the item, though without completely plagiarizing the publication. In other words, that block of text could be fixed without deleting it, and that could said for the entire article too. Meanwhile the rest of us have located additional sources that could be used to expand the sections that you are criticizing for being too short. I am already completely familiar with WP:NALBUMS, but at your recommendation I will reread it if you vow to read WP:NEXIST for the first time. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:22, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - "the rest of us have located additional sources". Who is "us" and what "additional sources"? I have already looks for reliable sources that mentions the recording of the album, the album's singles, the album's sales, as well as a tour that took place. I don't see any reliable source that confirms any of that. I've already looked but if you can confirmed any of that, then maybe it would make sense for the article to stay. But in my opinion, it is not notable for separate article and I don't see the harm in merging this article. Horizonlove (talk) 23:42, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

- Keep. I am not fond of this song's explicit and sexually charged lyrics (perhaps even denigrating), but when deciding on keeping or deleting an article, I seek, of course, notability (WP:N) and distinctiveness. I was ready to recommend a redirect for this one, but then I re-read the article and noticed that this particular song is remarkable in that it has crossed language and cultural fences, been adapted and adopted in the Spanish and English languages and reproduced broadly (see here for its popularity in France). This is supported by the sources, which unfortunately do not appear in the article yet. So, simply listing the song among the others would have missed what makes this song special, namely, that differently from the other songs in the album, it went beyond the Beatnuts, crossing into merengue and appearing even in Portuguese, Duth and Finnish charts. Artists like Swinger, Magic Juan (see here) and even the renown Mexican singer, Marco Antonio Muñiz (see here), adapted it. And then it was remixed in English featuring Method Man (see also here). In 1999, Vibe (Volume 7, Issues 7-10 - Page 268) had this to say about the song: "'Se Acabo' is their first strictly Spanish smoker, with a scene-stealing appearance by Proyecto Uno's Magic Juan." Btw, some of the previous links take you to WP:RS, which adds strength to the Keep argument by showing the coverage in the mainstream media. Still, I can be persuaded to the other side. Den...

- Likely keep A member of the Moscow City Duma, a body in which we generally keep local officials (and we must recognize that the Moscow Duma is also a regional parliament) (per WP:POLOUTCOMES. The sourcing appears sufficient for a local official. --Enos733 (talk) 07:22, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. Moscow is (a) a global city whose city councillors are considered notable enough to pass NPOL #2, and (b) a standalone federal city of Russia which is effectively a "state" or "province" in its own right (which is why its city government is a Duma and not just a city council), thus its city councillors actually bump up from NPOL #2 to NPOL #1 as first-order divisional legislators. This does need a bit of copyediting, but it's already got considerably more and better sources than we usually see in articles about city councillors, so even if Moscow didn't get its city councillors over NPOL, #2 would still be in play because of the depth and range of sources anyway. Bearcat (talk) 22:17, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
