Maureen Brady (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

WP:BLP of a writer, who has no strong or reliably sourced claim to passing WP:AUTHOR. The strongest notability claims here are unsourced assertions about minor literary "awards" that aren't instant notability passes, and mostly sound like council or foundation grants rather than actual awards, and the referencing is 50 per cent her own primary source profiles on the self-published websites of her own publishers and 50 per cent blogs, which means that it's exactly zero per cent notability-supporting coverage in real reliable sources -- and the only other attempt at "referencing" that was present here at all was a set of WP:ELNO-violating offlinks to her books' own sales pages on Amazon or their publishers' websites. As always, the notability test for a writer is not just that her work metaverifies its own existence on online bookstores -- it requires real, genuinely reliable media sources to devote attention to her writing, such as critical reviews of her books and/or actual journalism about her, but none of the sources here meet that standard.

Hello, Bearcat. I see your nomination for the article Maureen Brady for deletion. Allow me to explain why I think this should not happen.

Maureen Brady's work is of historical importance. She was a prominent writer and publisher during the period of "women's fiction", specifically the advent of lesbian fiction in the 70s and 80s. She founded a very important publishing company -- Spinsters Ink -- which is of historical importance to lesbian and feminist publishing. And her early work was lauded by prominent lesbian feminists such as Audre Lorde.

I started this article before I was able to access the writer's archives. Much of the important press Brady received was at a time before the internet. As a lesbian feminist she is of a marginalized group and therefore it will take a little more work for me to access the citations that, I agree, are necessary to prove her notability according to Wikipedia's guidelines. However, I plan to visit an archive that will give me more information and my research will provide more relevant links. I do agree that the sources are slim, but I do plan to improve them. It would be a real disservice to delete the article prematurely, when Brady is such an important figure to the history of the development of women's fiction in the United States. (Recently the Feminist Press re-issued Folly, one of her early works, as a classic).

Please give me a few days to improve the article. Thank you for your feedback. Thanks, Osomadre.Osomadre (talk) 23:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC) Osomadre[reply]

Just to be clear, the correct approach to getting a topic into Wikipedia is not to create the article and then put the work into actually finding any references that properly support notability weeks or months later — the research comes first, and then the creation of the article follows, not vice versa. You also have the option of working on something in draftspace or your own user sandbox, and then moving it into mainspace when it's done.
Also, her personal archives aren't notability-supporting sources: what you need to show to make a person notable is media coverage about her in published reliable sources that are independent of her. So access to her personal archives isn't really the ticket here: what you need to get into is newspaper and magazine databases and books that might have covered her as a subject, not her own personal papers.
Bottom line is, we don't keep poorly sourced articles pending the possible future addition of sources that have not actually been found yet; when you want to create a new Wikipedia article, you do the referencing research first and then you create the article afterward. Bearcat (talk) 13:42, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Found additional sources in JSTOR and reorganized slightly. I find using a lot of headlines in such a short article frustrating to read so removed those, but feel free to add back in if you think neccessary. 9H48F (talk) 13:16, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep While I agree that the article was not ready for mainspace when it was moved from a draft, I'm not sure why, as a brand new article, it came straight to AfD, rather than having notability and better sourcing tags added. It looks clear to me that the subject will meet WP:AUTHOR. I have found and added some reviews of her books, and there are more in newspapers and in journals that can be added. RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:18, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help, RebeccaGreen and 9H48F. Visiting the writer's archives, which I did today, was helpful to find things out that I couldn't find out by searching the web. As many of the author's reviews were from pre-internet times, unfortunately I was not able to use some of the ones I found today because they are not online. I think it's very clear at this point that this article and this author meets the notability guidelines. The criticism from Bearcat was helpful and now I think the article is much improved. Question: when can we agree to let the article stay put? Thanks, Osomadre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Osomadre (talkcontribs) 01:21, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Osomadre: 1. Sources do not need to be online, per WP:SOURCEACCESS. If you have the title of the article/review, the name of the author, the title, date, volume, issue and page numbers of the journal/book it appeared in, then add the sources to the article. 2. When an article has been nominated for deletion, it is usually discussed for 7 days before being evaluated for closing. If there is no a clear consensus, it may then be extended so that more editors can add to the discussion. So it's likely that this will remain open until 18 April, at least. RebeccaGreen (talk) 03:44, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you RebeccaGreen. I did not know that about citations not needing to exist online. I am a new Wikipedia editor -- I joined as a result of the #ArtandFeminism Women's History Month Edit-A-Thons, and so far the only editing I had done was on visual artist pages, which I'm much more familiar with as an artist myself. Do you recommend JSTOR? It seems you found some great things that are inaccessible through a regular google search. Thanks again, Osomadre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Osomadre (talkcontribs) 12:10, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Osomadre: There are many types of search for material Google does not find. Look at WP:The Wikipedia Library to start with. JSTOR is included there but, unless I am mistaken, anyone at all can register for free.[1] Access is then limited but not in a way I have ever found to be a problem. Have you discovered Wikipedia:WikiProject Women artists yet? Personally I think references to offline articles are even more useful than online. Using these brings back onto the web information that could otherwise become lost: it is very important to cite them carefully. Thincat (talk) 09:27, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Thincat! That is so helpful. It's so good to connect with other Wikipedia editors who are interested in correcting the systemic bias. I appreciate your suggestions and am just learning a lot including how to create manual references...All the best, Osomadre — Preceding unsigned comment added by Osomadre (talkcontribs) 02:03, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment to expand on my nomination: the term ‘Aptal Nisan’ means ‘April idiot’. Nisan=April and Nişan=engagement. Look at the View history page to see who created this. There are no sources for it. The alleged history is spurious and nonsensical. ‘Kravat’ is a modern loan word and nothing to do with Muslim tradition. Etc. Etc. Someone has had a good long laugh with this one. Mccapra (talk) 07:57, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete though it's quite amusing none the less. I read the article in full and do concur this does not seem at all credible. Google "Aptal" returns "stupid" and "Nisan" returns "April" (i.e. April Stupid, translating to "April Fool"). As noted by the nominator, the username of the creator seems consistent with this too.

Lucy in the Sky (disambiguation) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The only extant article whose base name is "Lucy in the Sky" is Lucy in the Sky, about the film.

Karolina Dean is apparently alternatively known as "Lucy in the Sky", but that can just be indicated in a hatnote at Lucy in the Sky. If the Beatles song is also known colloquially as simply "Lucy in the Sky", we can link to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in the hatnote too.

"William Shatner's version" is a cover (?) and doesn't have its own article. The video game isn't even known as "Lucy in the Sky with Dynamites" like the DAB page claims it is, according to the article, and it's simply a "bonus CD" which a limited edition of the game came with, not to mention it's "Lucy in the Sky with Dynamites", not "Lucy in the Sky". Things named "Lucy" after the Beatles song listed in the See also section are outside the scope of a disambiguation page (none of the articles indicate they are known alternatively as "... in the Sky" either), and can just be covered in Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Overall, there is nothing to disambiguate that a hatnote at Lucy in the Sky can't. Nardog (talk) 22:35, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't know if there really is a primary topic here. Besides the film, there's also the superhero and the Beatles song (at least in some contexts it's referred to as just "Lucy in the Sky" [2]). That's three proper entries so far, and if we exclude the "see also" entries (I'm not sure how relevant they are) then yes, two of them can be linked from a hatnote on the third one, if that one is a primary topic. – Uanfala (talk) 22:51, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - per the reasoning of the nominator and the voters above. Since there seems to be only one thing that is literally titled "Lucy in the Sky" (the film), this disambiguation page really stretches the requirements for what that type of page is supposed to accomplish. Hatnotes at the various existing articles with very similar titles should suffice. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 12:28, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This nomination makes a convincing argument for deletion (as long as only 3 relevant articles exist).
  • Note: everything that follows was added after Nardog's below comment; Nardog was referring to commentary that I have since removed from this page (most of it was revised and added to the RM).
  • As the original version of this comment emphasized, I previously thought the closely related title Lucy in the Sky should be moved. I've since withdrawn that RM; Nardog's arguments were convincing. The linked RM discussion will probably still be useful for this AfD's closer, as it addresses Uanfala's above comment (though primary topic comments may not strictly be necessary for the determining how this AfD should be closed). eπi (talk | contribs) 13:42, 12 April 2019 (UTC) (revised 12:30-12:41, 13 April 2019 (UTC))[reply]

Much ado about not much. A series article for two films seems like overkill, and the article is basically repeats information already in the individual film articles, and adds some tables with incomplete information. BilCat (talk) 21:47, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I feel the need, the need to delete. Two films, especially with one not even released yet, do not make a series. Does the word "sequel" ring a bell? Clarityfiend (talk) 06:30, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Absolutely not. A 'series' of films/books/games/etc. is synonymous with multiple. There is no "rule" nor declaration that equates to "more than two". The Top Gun: Maverick film has finished production, and more information will come about during the marketing phase of post-production. The article is significant enough to have Wikipedia article. If the article needs more information, why not add to it - instead of requesting its deletion? Constructive editing would contribute to the article. Again disagree entirely, and the fact that there is no rule for how many entries in a series determines what a 'series' is - is why I made the page in the first place. This page should not be deleted.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 12:18, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • NOTE: The word Latin "series" comes from the word 'serere' which means 'join, connect' - which has evolved into the modern word. Additionally the definition of series has no specific number of installments required - as @CAPTAIN RAJU: & @BilCat: have stated. Series: "a number of things, events, or people of a similar kind or related nature coming one after another: ... a set of books, maps, periodicals, or other documents published in a common format or under a common title. - a set of related television or radio programs [OR FILMS], especially of a specified kind..." (emphasis added by myself). Again, user preference over definition has no place. The page by definition is constructive and valid. If your complaint is what's included in the document -- add to it!--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 12:25, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • A search for "Top Gun film series" brings up this article and Top Gun: Maverick, and nothing else. 'Nuff said. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:43, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I actually have no issue with a two-film "series" as a concept, but with the content of the article itself. Two films are not enough, in my opinion, make a good series article. All potential content, tables aside, would be better covered in each individual article, and the tables themselves are incomplete, as one film hasn't even been released. Even after release, the article isn't going to include much non-duplicate content. A good rule of thumb for splitting out content in any type of article is when a section or group of sections so overwhelms the rest of the article that it would make sense to cover that content in its own article. We're no where near that in this case. - BilCat (talk) 21:27, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: I can't see how this passes either WP:ORGCRIT or WP:WEBCRIT. The only people who seem to mention it anywhere are current and former writers on their own websites or blogs. As a print magazine, it only ran for six issues before moving entirely online, so there's no indication of lasting significance, more like "blink and you missed it". The publisher and editor Heather Falconer sold the brand in 2016, and it now seems to have evolved into a kind of artistic LinkedIn... both creative artists and brands are invited to submit their details for consideration. But as either a print or online magazine, it doesn't appear to pass any notability criteria. Richard3120 (talk) 20:05, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The article was created with no independent sources and stayed that way for over 7 years. Attempting to find sources on this publication only leads to passing mentions as well as unreliable blogs and primary WP:SOAPBOX sources.

Article appears to be an attempted promotion for a new business radio station, with no evidence of notability. Two sources in the article (in Irish) are a fundraising request and a brief promotional announcement, and nothing further could be found.

  • Delete. WP:GNG and WP:NRADIO do not seem to be met. On the former (GNG), the only sources that seem to be available establish the subject's existence, but not its notability. (There doesn't appear to be any news coverage for example - either in local or national media). On the latter (NRADIO), a radio station's notability is often based on its audience size, broadcast history, or programming output. I do not see how this subject can be seen to meet those criteria. (In that it has no audience/history/output). In short: delete. For now at least. (Could always recreate if/when the subject actually gets up and running. And builds up an audience/content/history/coverage). Guliolopez (talk) 10:09, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Musicians ... may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria..
'Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself'
The article lists two books that he's been published in or covered in
'Has won or been nominated for a major music award (...)'
Paul was made an Honorary Associate of the Royal Academy of Music in 2006.
There's at least two of the criterion right there where he meets it. The article is ugly, needs a major clean up... but that's not a valid reason for deletion. Dusti*Let's talk!* 04:38, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @Dusti: Which two books is he covered in? Westwood wrote two published books (The Bass Bible and The Bass Bible 2) but I don't see any mention in the article about any book that has been published about him. Westwood has been interviewed as a "subject matter expert" for the book The Quest for the Melodic Electric Bass (ISBN 9781472434821), but that's not the same as being the subject of the book. He is mentioned once, in passing, in Turned Out Nice Again (ISBN 9781848877573), but again, this is not a book about him. Also, I don't know that being made an Honorary Member of the Royal Academy of Music counts as a "major music award." WP:MUSIC lists specific awards that would satisfy this criterion; the RAM Honorary Membership is not among them. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:57, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable local politician. The article incorrectly state she was on the New Jersey Superior Court, she was only a county surrogate. Neither that position, being mayor, or county freeholder gives her notability under WP:POLITICIAN Also, I believe WP:NOTMEMORIAL applies here too.Rusf10 (talk) 02:31, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Mayors of townships are not handed an automatic notability freebie just for existing as mayors, but this article is referenced nowhere close to well enough to get her over WP:NPOL #2 ("major local political figures who have received significant press coverage") — and no, being the first woman to hold a not-inherently notable role is still not a notability freebie that exempts her from having to have better referencing than this, either. Every community that exists at all will always have its own first woman or women to have done local-interest stuff, so "first woman to do a not inherently notable thing" is not an inclusion freebie in the absence of a much greater depth and range and volume of sourcing than this.
    If she'd been the first woman mayor in the history of the entire United States, that would mean something because she would have a lot more coverage, but Wikipedia does not routinely accept "first woman mayor of her own small town" as an article-clinching notability claim in the absence of evidence that she received much more substantial coverage for that distinction than is being shown here. And none of the other things in Djflem's list mean much either: directly elected mayors, county councils and court surrogates are still not inherently notable roles, so being the first woman in her own local area (but very far from the first woman nationwide) to accomplish those things is still not an automatic inclusion freebie — and having a piece of local public infrastructure named after her is not an instant notability pass for a local politician either, because that would hand a majority of all municipal politicians everywhere a free exemption from actually having to be referenced well enough to pass NPOL #2. Naming stuff after local political figures is just what towns and cities and counties do, not a thing that automaticallly makes the namesake so "inherently" notable that she's exempted from having to be referenced properly just because a building exists with her name on the front door.
    No matter what local firsts a mayor or county councillor can claim to represent, the inclusion test for politicians at the local level still requires them to have a lot more reliable source coverage about them than this actually shows: one short obituary blurb, one paragraph about her on one page of a local history book published by a print-on-demand house and three primary sources that do nothing to support notability is not enough to make a smalltown mayor notable regardless of her gender.

  • Comment This is not just internet-age google hit count we're talking about. This is genuine coverage in Newspapers in New Jersey and elsewhere. In addition to all the New Jersey Coverage, there are over 700 newspapers.com articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer alone, and more in other Philly publications. I'm not going to try to list them, but that level of coverage doesnt apply to your average freeholder. Since Philly might be considered local, there are also articles from NY papers, including for instance The New York Daily News including the February 26, 1979 issue. There's coverage in The Morning News from Wilmington, Delaware - 3 articles dated September 1, 1977 September 23, 1977, January 12, 1995. Much of the NY and Delaware coverage discusses the mayor and two events/issues: a workfare proposal and a police force sickout.

Renomination following a no-consensus closure. This is WP:BLP of a local radio and television personality, which is still referenced almost entirely to content created by his own colleagues rather than genuinely independent evidence of encyclopedic notability. Six of the ten sources here are directly published by his own station or its co-owned sister stations in the same city; two more are duplications of the same wire service obituary bylined by a coworker of his; one is a very short, unsubstantive blurb on the website of his market's other television station, and the last is simply a Google Books directory entry for a book he wrote, which is being used solely to metaverify its own existence rather than showing that it achieved anything that would get him over WP:AUTHOR. None of this constitutes evidence that he had a nationalized notability claim for the purposes of getting a Wikipedia article, and media outlets don't get to self-publish their own employees into the "just because media coverage exists" brand of notability.

The obituaries are virtually all directly affiliated: the majority are from his own employer, and two more that appear to be independent coverage on the surface were both still written by one of his own colleagues. So those sources all fail the independence test — and the only source in the entire article that actually represents genuinely independent coverage of him is a very brief and unsubstantive blurb. A single-market local broadcaster, who doesn't automatically clear the subject-specific inclusion criteria for broadcasters, does not suddenly pass GNG just because his own coworkers eulogized him as a friend.

  • Comment. hi there,

I created ESMO Corporation page believing that it is a company that is worth having a wikipedia page.

  • First of, I disagree with your opinion that the references are almost entirely either listings or mere notes. Please check out https://www.vietnambreakingnews.com/2018/07/esmo-starts-construction-of-wiring-harness-plant-in-vietnam/ and this https://www.autonomousvehicletech.com/articles/195-volex-and-nexen-tech-enter-into-strategic-partnership articles only that talk about ESMO corporation having an impact on economic growth of Vietnam, etc.
  • The reason you might think that the company is too small to be on Wikipedia is probably becase it was renamed ESMO Corporation from the previous Nexen tech, which is a quite known company in Korea.
  • When adding sources I was trying to add mostly English sources thinking that the reviewers might have some difficulties with Korean language. I can add more sources in Korea if you think it would help to prove my point.
  • Another reason to think that ESMO Corporation should be on Wikipedia is the comparison with similar companies, like Furukawa, Fujikura, Yura Corporation d.o.o., etc. so please check out those pages and give it another thought.
  • To be honest, I spent quite a lot of time and effort to create this page, as you should know, and I hope that my work will not be a waste of time. So, please, if you have any suggestions, please tell me how to improve the article and don't delete it right away.

Thank you and I will get back to you if I have more comments to add, Hope you will give this another thought and help me out.

  • Comment. Being that the company is a publicly traded company, i believe it is notable but the problem here is there is definitely a COI issue with the article. I have also noticed a few creations of the author and they all seem promotional like WP:PAID. My take is article should be moved to AFC where it will be scrutinized and moved to mainspace when ready or preferably reduce the article to one paragraph. Lapablo (talk) 16:39, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Thank you for your comment @Lapablo,

I was again reviewing wikipedia's policy regarding companies that are notable to be on wikipedia and sources that are regarded reliable secondary and what is significant coverage. I believe that some of the sources for ESMO Corporation page definitely fulfil these criterias. According to wikipedia, substantial coverage in independant sources includes e.g. a news article discussing a corporate merger/partnership, a source that illustrates the environmental impact of the corporation (and I assume economic impact will also be considered substantial coverage), and others, examples of which you can find in the article sources. So, I believe there is no problem with the company being notable or worth having a wikipedia page. Regarding the claim about WP:PAID, again I am not paid for creating this article and defending my hard work is I guess natural. Lastly, according to wikipedia's deletion policy if consensus is not reached within 7 days the article should stay in the mainspace as default. It is already 7 days the article is reviewed for deletion and I would like to finally know what is going to happen to the article. Again, if you think it is better to add more sources in Korean I will do that or if you think I need to edit the source if the tone is not neutral I will again do that. I just only require to give a certain answer as to what I am supposed to do to help this article be finally considered good enough to be on wikipedia. Thank you, Narine1202 Narine1202 (talk)

  • Comment There is no presumption that a public company is notable, except for those on the main board of the NYSE or the LondonSE, What is true, is that it is easier to write an article on a public company, at least a US pubic company, because of the availability of audied financial data. DGG ( talk ) 05:43, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment With all due respect @DGG, this is a Korean company and unless you are aware of the Korean market you can't really claim that the company is not notable cause it is not on NYSE or LondonSE. Your claim was not clear. Another thing, it has been almost 3 weeks the article is here for the discussion, while according to the regulations the consensus should be reached within a week and if not any than the article stays. I do understand that all of the editors are busy with a lot of new articles and all but I would really appreciate if I know the outcome of this discussion as soon as possible.

Narine1202

I'm not saying thaty. I'm merely saying a company of the main board of the NYSE is almost certainly notable --these are a small minority of the publlic companies in the US. It doesn't apply to the auxiliary listings--companies listed there, and non-listed companies, may or may not be notable. Some of them are very famous very notable firms, but most are very small. I said the same about LSE because it's been accepted in many afds--I have much less knowledge there. Other UK copanies may of may not be. For other exchanges in other countries we don;t make the same presumption of notability , but that doesn't mean they are not notable, just that it has to be shown independently of the stock exchange membership.

The result was no consensus. I’m not sure that the added coverage really meets the threshold of the GNG in regards to significant independent coverage focused on Wall the person, but none of the earlier delete opinions factored in the added sourcing uncovered during the AfD, whereas it was considered in later keeps. If another AfD is filed in the future, it should deal with the quality of the coverage in these sources.

Sure, because these sub-stubs are largely unread and it's quite a task to address this single-handed decision to make all these. I have struck my delete because you have shown articles exist which mention the incumbent, but it is preposterous to assume they are all notable, and this mass creation of sub-stubs sourced only to directories is unwarranted. Not every dean ran for election to bishop or had a local-interest article written about their singing trio. Bishop of a diocese is high elected position that may have inherent notability but dean is not. The Diocese of Niagara has a profile of its bishop, but Wall is part of the ministry of his local parish. Reywas92Talk 20:49, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep In sum: WP:TROUT article creator for annoyingly and irresponsibly creating a page without sourcing it. But the fact is that Hall is notable. As Dean he has managed a number of notable things, like the dis-interment and re-interment of graves of historically disparaged individuals, renovations of notable ecclesiastical buildings - and more, I haven't sifted thought even a fraction of the hits. Plus he has been a lighting rod in Anglican circles on gay marriage (note book above). I urge page creator User:Bashereyre to repent, return and redeem himself by upgrading this and the articles on the other Niagara Deans.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:34, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I can't access the archive you can, but which of these sources go into any level of biographical detail about Wall? These all appear to be passing mentions or quotations, including the book, which looking at the info page is not even a published reliable source. Managing a building renovation and reinterring bodies are nice lines on a resume as part of the job, but it doesn't confer notability – the sources are about the church, not Wall himself. Most of the GNews hits are from The Anglican Journal, published by the Canadian Anglican Church, so I don't think that counts as independent. This article creator has indeed irresponsibly started literally thousands of clergy sub-stubs like this one – this incumbent may in fact have a preponderance of mentions in the news but the previous ones are certainly not inherently notable.

More coverage also exists of his role in the first gay marriage in Canada performed by an Anglican priest in an Anglican church, and the impact of that wedding on his career. Major, reliable newspapers. National coverage. I do think he meets WP:BASIC. But I also understand that many editors lack access to the news archives that make his notability easy to see.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:47, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Broward County Public Schools#Controversies and grand jury investigation: The sources from The Daily Signal and The Weekly Standard would count towards WP:GNG if they presented significant coverage on Kenneth Preston himself. However, these sources (as well as the other linked sources above) are focused on the investigation mentioned here. Regarding Kenneth Preston, it is not true that each of these sources addresses the topic directly and in detail (per GNG). Therefore Kenneth Preston does not pass WP:GNG. On top of that, this falls squarely into WP:BLP1E. If a new article is created specifically about this investigation, then this material can be merged there instead. — MarkH21 (talk) 04:58, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Google Scholar shows lots of citations for his books. At least one has been translated into Spanish. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 13:47, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • It shows four undergraduate-level (self-described) textbooks with (173, 79, 69, 31) citations and papers with (47, 38, 32, 31, 27, 20, 16, 14, 12, 11, 10, 8, 7, 6, ...) citations. The textbooks would fall under criterion 4 of WP:NACADEMIC but cannot be said to have made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions. His research, especially considering that Google Scholar includes non-peer-reviewed sources in the citation count and that discrete mathematics & algorithms tend to have higher citation counts, does not seem to be influential enough for criterion 1 of WP:NACADEMIC. Looking through the MathSciNet reviews, there isn't much evidence of having developed a significant new concept, technique or idea, made a significant discovery or solved a major problem in their academic discipline. — MarkH21 (talk) 16:31, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep per WP:PROF#C4 and WP:AUTHOR. I agree that his research doesn't seem to have had much impact, but that's a different criterion, and failing it does not prevent achieving notability some other way. It's hard to count exactly how many books he has because some of them (such the ones with "programming" in the title) seem to have overlapping content, but he has at least four distinct clusters of textbooks. I found and added to the article five published reviews of three of these, enough I think for WP:AUTHOR. And the Discrete Mathematics book in particular has gone through eight editions from its original 1984 publication to its most recent in 2018, and has been translated into Spanish, weak but persuasive evidence that it is widely used (WP:PROF#C4). I also ran a Google search for "Johnsonbaugh" "syllabus" site:.edu -site:depaul.edu (to find other universities using his textbooks) and found over 500 hits. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:39, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Perhaps we have different interpretations of WP:AUTHOR, but I do not see the existence of five reviews of three undergraduate textbooks as evidence of Criterion 1: The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. or Criterion 4: The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. It definitely does not match criterion 2 or 3.

      Regarding Criterion 4 of WP:NACADEMIC, the specific note that you are applying says: several books that are widely used as textbooks (or as a basis for a course) at multiple institutions of higher education. Indeed, I see that Discrete Mathematics and Foundations of Mathematical Analysis are used in multiple syllabi, with a two or three uses of Algorithms, Applications Programming in C++, and Applications Programming in ANSI C each. That's two books that could be (arguably) "widely used", but even with those I don't see "several books" being so. — MarkH21 (talk) 21:01, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

      • For WP:AUTHOR, you're looking at the wrong criterion. The one I had in mind is #3: his books are the subject "of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". —David Eppstein (talk) 21:09, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ah, but this criterion pertains to individual works or collective bodies of work (not all of his books as a collective unit since they are intellectually distinct). Of his works, only Foundations of Mathematical Analysis has multiple reviews and the condition that this work is the subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews is a supplementary requirement in addition to it being recognized as a significant or well-known work. I don't think it has that status though (and I do know it – I used it when I was an undergraduate!). It's an undergraduate textbook with 66 citations on Google Scholar that isn't commonly referred to in literature (unlike e.g. Algebra by Lang, Algebraic Geometry by Hartshorne, the Princeton Lectures in Analysis series by Stein and Shakarchi, etc.). — MarkH21 (talk) 21:28, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. There seems to be good consensus that this person is currently not notable (this is even asserted by several "keep" !votes) and that this may be a case of TOOSOON. However, keeping a copy in an editor's sandbox is not a good solution for two reasons. First of all and most importantly, the copy paste to User:Mary Mark Ockerbloom/sandbox/Natani Notah violates our copyright, because the edit history has been lost. Second, articles deleted at AfD should not be kept in a user's personal space indefinitely. There is nothing wrong with making a note to self to revisit this yearly and if this person at some point becomes notable, it will be easy enough to undelete the current version and work from there. Because of the copyright issue, I will also delete the current sandbox version. Randykitty (talk) 15:50, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails WP:ARTIST, so the question is WP:GNG. She is on her way to a career, but both a search and a perusual of the article sources turns up only event announcements and trivial coverage of the regular artist things she has participated in, like exhibitions, and an interview here or there. There is basically no significant independent coverage in reliable sources. Sculpture magazine is prominently mentioned but all I saw there was a statement that she had received a student award and a picture of her work, without critical writing. A case of obvious self-promotion as the page reads like a CV, and also WP:TOOSOON.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:06, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please keep I understand your concerns. A few edits have been made since the above posts. I would argue that Natani is a notable artist as evidenced by her lectures, exhibitions, and residencies at universities and other leading institutions. By and large, women of color, and American Indian artists are grossly underrepresented in mainstream media, and in trade and academic publications. Consequently the face more questions about their notability in the real world and on wikipedia. Interviews, smaller more community focussed publications, and institutional event texts are often the best we have to work with. This reinforces real life inequity and replicates it on wikipedia. This posting was decided on and co-written by a number of students at Cornell University as part of the Art & Community editathon which is specifically designed to insert more articles about notable but underrepresented artists into the wikipedia archive. The students are not affiliated directly in anyway with the artist and are not interested in self-promotion. I hope you will reconsider. JVadera (talk)
I agree with what you say, but recognizing social inequities is not how we establish notability on Wikipedia; we are not here to right social wrongs. We just condense and report on established sources, of which there are not enough to (currently) establish notability here. Efforts to correct the imbalance of representation on Wikipedia are very welcomed! However because all editors are essentially assumed to be ignorant of the subject, there have to be independent reliable sources to establish the notability of an article subject. We do not make editorial decisons: others in reliable sources do. That is the way this whole encyclopedia has been built. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:15, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for now. I agree many of the previous list of sources are COI. However I know the person who began this article is new and it seems that many editors are helping to try to flesh this out more appropriately. I'd like to give JVadera and his student, Eoghanrdempsey, a bit of time to finish their work (University level) as they may have access to offline material for sources that would help stabilize the article. Yes, the article should've had all of this before being published, but it is actively being edited, so I'd like to see where it lands. Thanks!Heathart (talk) 03:09, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Heathart, Eoghanrdempsey hasn't edited since creating Natani Notah on 26 March 2019. Can we reasonably expect that keeping the article will result in improvements? Draftifying is an alternative to deletion if Eoghanrdempsey and JVadera could convince us that they have access to independent, reliable sources that we haven't found yet and they are available to expand the article using those sources.Vexations (talk) 11:35, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notah is interesting and doing good work, but WP:TOOSOON in my opinion. I have spent considerable time searching for sources to validate the information in the article. Notah is very early career; she is included in the Heard Museum's American Artists Resource Collection Online, but I was able to confirm only 1 solo exhibition. She has a few publications in magazines, and may be a contributor to the third edition of Colonize This! edited by Daisy Hernández, to appear July 2019. Seed Beads and Skirts: A Native American, Feminist Art Practice sounds fascinating but it is her M.F.A. Thesis.
To reach notability, she needs: (1) more solo exhibitions (2) inclusion of her works in major galleries or museums (3) discussions of her work that are not written by herself or an exhibition's venue or curator. If the original creators of this article can cite such reviews and discussion from paper-based sources (newspapers or books) that could help. Otherwise I would say try again in five years when she has done more. I am saving a copy in my sandbox, with a note to revisit yearly. I would be happy to have people continue to work on it there if they wish. (My sandbox would be a more stable location than Draft:) Regretfully, Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 13:26, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify per Mary Mark Ockerbloom's proposal. I'd like to make one observation, if I may. I'm a little bothered by "not written by herself or an exhibition's venue or curator", because it weakens WP:ARTIST. When a museum curator provides critical analysis of an artist's work in an artist monograph, that is a reliable source. It should not be disregarded as "not independent". Museums obviously have a relationship with the artists they exhibit, but they are independent. A museum exhibit is a acknowledgement of an artist's significance. It should be a considerable factor in evaluating notability. Vexations (talk) 15:48, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the correction, @Vexations:. If you feel that I've been overly strict in judging the article based on the citations available, please say so. I agree that curators are a valuable source of information, and if you feel the weight of being including in group exhibitions (of which quite a number are listed) is sufficient to support notability in this case, I'm happy to consider that possibility. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 20:22, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think you've given a very fair assessment of what we can get from the sources. Notah is an emerging artist who has not yet received sufficient critical attention to sustain an article about her. It would be a waste to delete the material we have gathered so far, and since you offered to care for the draft until the sources become available, and the original author has not responded, we should take you up on your offer. Vexations (talk) 21:52, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Mary Mark Ockerbloom's comments are spot on. However I do not understand the the draftify idea being kicked around above. We have all taken a serious shot at finding good sources and have not succeeded. It will take years for her to develop notability required for an article. A draft will be gone in 6 months. Why not just delete, with allowance for WP:REFUND? ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:55, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Happy to rework Thank you everybody for your thoughtful analysis. Not sure exactly how draftify works or if it is just better to move the draft over to my sandbox?JVadera (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:44, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Emerging consensus seems to be that she does not pass Wikipedia's guidelines for notability at this time, based on the sources we've seen. Deleting the article would lose the work; moving it into the official Draft space is only a temporary solution (drafts may be deleted after 6 months). A personal sandbox is more stable, so moving this into someone's sandbox is likely the best solution. If you want help with it in future you are welcome to tag me about it.

Keep for now I generally believe that this individual, while doing good work, is not notable yet to the point that she merits her own page. I generally look to see if the sources are national or international in scope. However, I appreciate the work being done on this page and would encourage the authors to continue. Leaving it up will enable them to do that. If, in another 6 months or so there has been no updates or edits of value, a RFD is approrpriate. Coffee312 (talk) 21:06, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I don't think Fellow IET is enough for WP:PROF#C3, as it's more or less "employed in a managerial role and member in good standing for five years" rather than a more selective honor (Honorary Fellowship, a higher grade of membership, might be). I can't find the citations that would allow him to pass #C1. So the only possible remaining source of notability would be as a textbook author (#C4 and WP:AUTHOR). But his books appear to either be self-published or from a very minor publisher (I can't tell which) and I can find neither published reviews of them nor evidence that they have been assigned as textbooks in any major institution of higher learning. So I can't find evidence of notability that way either. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:36, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hijiri 88 (やや) 08:58, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Lists of this sort are appropriate compromises. There has been a considerable pressure from the many WPedians with predominantly local interest to cover every one of these distilleries in a full article. Though I understand their motivations--they have become of considerable interest to many people in a revival of local production, there isn't really sufficient material for NPOV articles. On the other hand, some will be of importance, and combination articles are explicitly recognized in WP:GNG as alternatives to deletion. Sometimes there isn't even enough for that, and then a list is suitable. It provides for further growth, and it ensures that those who look for something here--something which it is not unreasonable to expect in an encyclopedia -- will find at least the minimum. I've been a member of the ARS since it started, even though I am very reluctant to have articles on purely local often transient companies like this. The appropriate course is a compromise.
the main reason to be non-inclusive in our coverage of local companies like these is that the articles will generally tend to be promotional , for the lack of anythign else to say. Promotionalism is a true danger. If we become a place for advertising we're useless as an encyclopedia . Minor variations in notability are much less important, expecially those based upon forced interpretations of principles thar rely on words of special meaning to Wikipedia, alien to ordinary use. Inclusion in a list cannot be promotional, and therefore is not dangerous. It's a minimal compromise, and the opposition to it seems unduely dogmatic.
One might think that in a system like WP, where the prniciple for deciding is consensus, it would be easy to rea h compromises. That is apparently not the case--people here tend to interpret consensus as everyone else agreeing with them. The net result is often that those willing to compromise see their position taken as weakness, and consensus usually amounts to agreement on which of two sides is the stronger. Instead of consensus preventing fighting, it is just another weapon in the ongoing battles. DGG ( talk ) 01:00, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The article doesn't really make the case for notability (president of a state-level society that does not currently have an article, and first female president of that society, are things that one could potentially be notable for but I'd need to see more evidence) and searching did not turn up anything better than the one unlinked local obituary (possibly a family-written obit, I can't tell) that we currently have as a source.

  • Comment @FIFAukr: We appreciate your contribution, given your account was only created today. However, perhaps you missed this caution on WP:PROF: Citation measures such as the h-index, g-index, etc., are of limited usefulness in evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied. They should be approached with caution because their validity is not, at present, completely accepted, and they may depend substantially on the citation database used. They are also discipline-dependent; some disciplines have higher average citation rates than others. Thus, h-index numbers are not enough to establish notability when other evidence is absent.

  • Draftify Notable, but totally unsuited for mainspace. The articles is extraordinarily non-encyclopedic to the extent that it almost represents a promotional tribute to him. It needs major work, beyond what what can be done here, but if it is kept in mainspace, I will do it there. Notability can be judged by citation, but not by any over simplistic method of just looking at h-index. h=34 can mean 34 papers each with 34 citations, which in most experimental sciences indicates no really significant work, or ,as here, with papers cited 280, 226, 217, 104, 177. ... which indicates a number of papers with very influential work--there are actualy 14 papers with over 100 citations each. .Grand'mere Eugene., would you care to comment of this point?

  • Comment @DGG: I changed my vote above, assuming he must have published with the Zenobi group since his doctorate in 20113, but his publications alone may not be enough for WP:PROF.

Yes, I'm trying to figure this out, but it may take some analysis. The article even in its present form admits he took an unusually longtime to the doctorate. Does this mean he remained an apprentice, and hisadvisor made use of his work for many joint papers, or that he worked on many important projects of his own even before he actually belatedly finished? I've known example of each pattern. Sometimes it is only those who actualy know the parties who can figure out the true contributions, but sometimes it can be figured out from the papers or even the metadata.

  • Delete. Just as for any other kind of actor, the notability test for voice actors is not simply the ability to copy and paste a list of their acting roles from IMDb or another IMDb-like directory — every actor has always had acting roles by definition, so just listing roles does not automatically hand an actor a free exemption from having to actually have any reliable source coverage about them. The notability test for people, regardless of occupation, always has less to do with what the article says, and more to do with how well the article references what it says.

  • Delete promotional article on apparently self-published author. The promotionalism is made very evident by the convenient omission of the publisher of her books in the article--they are all published by "The Planning Shop"[5] by Lightning Source, a print-on-demand publisher. . It's also made evident by the article referring to her by the first name alone in the text, a characteristic device of PR writers trying to sound informal (except ofcourse, in some fields of popular entertainment, but the subject is rying to be a writer of serious instructional books on business. It is possible that the books might sell enoguh that she might be notable, but if so the article would have to be startedover without the obvious coi.

I don't think this meets any of our notability criteria. There's no enough in-depth sources forWP:GNG, WP:NORG (as a group), or WP:NARTIST (as performers). The sources in the article are a) a blog entry from a local brewery b) a decent article from a local paper c) a couple-sentence fluff piece in NPR and d) a defunct biking enthusiast periodical (with a limited scope if it's the same one referred to here).

It's not enough to hang an article on, and I couldn't find any more in-depth sources when I searched. ♠PMC(talk) 03:28, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Pure Fancruft. In the Mega Man series, Robot Masters are the names of the enemies who act as bosses at the end of stages, and this is a big list of all of them, effectively being a list of bosses from the Mega Man series. Not bad info per se, just not here. This belongs on a fan wiki. Robot Master can be handled in a single paragraph on the Mega Man page, or game by game, not an exhaustive list on its own.

    I would suggest finding and adding reliable sources establishing the subject's notability. Meatsgains(talk) 23:16, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I haven't checked for alternatives but the current refs are all problematic. The Prague Post is not what it used to be and now accepts contributions from basically anyone who can write 500 to 1000 word articles in coherent English (see [6]) so the content there is probably self-written publicity. PRWeb, as its name suggests, publishes self-written PR. Zim Citizen is a blog. www.MiracleArena.ca is a dead link but was presumably the ministry's official website and thus not independent. IdeaMensch is "a crowdsourced interview platform for entrepreneurs, makers, and doers" and in fact the interiew's questions are a simple template as explained here (I'm not sure that sentence is clear but basically there is no interviewer, only an interviewee and again, this is basically self-written promo). Pichpich (talk) 20:17, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete After looking for references, I'm convinced there's not enough material from third-party reliable sources to meet the general notability guideline. In fact, the only coverage in reliable sources does not concern his ministry but a sinister paternity lawsuit that he lost after telling the mother that she would die if she kept the baby. But Wikipedia is not news and this affair did not result in lasting coverage. Pichpich (talk) 20:27, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello. No claim of significance but A7 does not apply to books. I am not sure this book has even been released. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 00:18, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment. The book is a published by Artech House, a publisher of scientific and engineering books that are found in many academic libraries. Worldcat lists only one library (in Germany) that holds this book, probably because it has been published quite recently. I think the book is probably important to engineers who design antennas, but notability won't be demonstrated until some reviews are published. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 01:00, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete. This is a field in which a huge amount has been published, including numerous books. There is nothing that indicates this one stands out as being particularly notable. I'm sure the author has written a competent book, but there is nothing to show that he is stand-out notable or has a special place in the history of the subject. His citation counts according to Scholar are extremely low. This smacks to me of promotion of a newly published book. SpinningSpark 16:16, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. The book is published and I am see many reference of this book. This is more a practical antenna design book and helpful for designers than a theoretical book as can be see in google book preview (book's content).Naveenchawala18 (talk) 17:59, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • You need to list the "many references" before that is convincing. Note that we require "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" to meet the general notability requirements. The practicality or helpfulness of the book are not considerations used in Wikipedia when deciding whether to keep a page. SpinningSpark 18:47, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete WorldCat includes three books with very similar titles on this subject. One [7] is found in 592 libraries, another [worldcat] in 721. But this particular book [8] is found in only one. DGG ( talk ) 05:07, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep It. This book is the latest and different than other book published on similar subject as it include several modern technologies including 5G and automotive microstrip antenna. Sreyash21 (talk) 18:58, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
