Article is a completely unsourced stub and fails WP:V. The sole external link is not a reliable source. Subject fails WP:NSOLDIER and WP:ANYBIO. A WP:BEFORE search yielded some passing mentions of him on various websites, some of which appear to be near verbatum copies of our unsourced article. However none look to be enough to ring the WP:N bell. (Note: I am renominating this article on behalf of Davidgoodheart whose original nomination was malformed and failed to transclude properly.)

Delete. Doesn't pass NSOLDIER (Lt. col. commanded a battalion in action, died while doing so). In my, admittedly, limited BEFORE in Greek - I wasn't able to come up with much (though there are various hits). The grwiki is at the same state, more or less, as the enwiki here. Icewhiz (talk) 07:40, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Following article improvement - heck he even passes NSOLDIER given his 2008 promotion to lt. General. Teaches me for trying to search in Greek. Icewhiz (talk) 07:00, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I have found three RS in Greek with non-trivial coverage which I will add to the article. It appears Kouroupis is credited as the first defender of Cyprus when operation Attila started where for two days he kept at bay superior Turkish forces outnumbering the Greek forces 13 to 1. The RS are two books and a history website: Red in the Green Line, Dying in Cyprus, and Pavlos Kouroupis is considered the first missing of Attila.Dr. K. 22:50, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- Followup I have expanded the article and added four RS. The deletion rationale, based on this expansion alone is now outdated. The expansion will continue in the coming days. Dr. K. 06:33, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- Followup of the followup Expansion is now complete. The article as it stands now has a very small relation to the article as it appeared at the opening of this AfD. See original state of article as it appeared at the start of this AfD and see it now. Dr. K. 19:23, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Delete - as per reasons by @Icewiz and @Cinderella157.Resnjari (talk) 23:38, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- Withdrawing vote and not adding a new one - initial reason for placing a vote was that the article was unsourced and appeared to be POV stub recycling anti-Turkish polemics and anti-Turkish and anti-Muslim sentiment. If this article is going to be around hopefully its sources will be from unbiased scholarship written by non-nationalistic academics. Resnjari (talk) 01:39, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- Well, that's a surprise. In any case, I find your withdrawal of the delete !vote an honourable thing to have done. Best regards. Dr. K. 04:51, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- Why the surprise? My delete vote was based on the reasons of two other editors. They no longer stand by them and I decided that a withdrawal and non vote instead was better on my part. Resnjari (talk) 06:08, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- No argument on my side. Don't get me wrong, it was a pleasant surprise. I just thought that perhaps you would be more attached to your original position, despite the withdrawals. AfDs are sometimes this way. I am glad we have reached common ground. Dr. K. 06:26, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- It was a common sense approach. Opposition for the sake of opposition is silly and petty. Resnjari (talk) 08:03, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- I agree, and I wanted to express my appreciation when I saw that you kept an open mind, although I should, perhaps, not have used the term "surprise", even in jest. Dr. K. 08:30, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Dr. K. 06:23, 1 April 2019 (UTC)Delete - as per reasons by @Icewiz and @Cinderella157.
Ha, all of whom saw the article before the huge ongoing expansion and addition of sources. Why such a rush to delete this article?
- @Dr.K.:, I saw some of these sources in my BEFORE prior to my !vote. How much content (pages) do you have on our subject in this sources (some of which are available to me only in snippet)? How much content do you have disconnected from the 1974 events? I'll note that the suspected POWs at Bolu and Denizli (1995) would probably be better as a standalone (and seems our subject's connection to the added content is rather loose - he's suspected to be in the the suspected group). Icewhiz (talk) 06:31, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- No, one of the sources mentions that the Kasimatis report states that he was one of the prisoners. As far as content disconnected from the 74 events, please see his life section which is substantial. As well, I have not yet started the description of his participation in the battle, which is very notable. Also, no pings please. There is no hurry, and I watch this page anyway. Dr. K. 06:39, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
DeleteArticle adds nothing of substance to what is at Battle of Pentemili beachhead. Even if there are four sources giving non-trivial coverage, I am not convinced they established sufficient notability or coverage that could expand the article beyond what is essentially a trivial mention. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 23:55, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
Dr. K. 04:19, 1 April 2019 (UTC)Even if there are four sources giving non-trivial coverage, I am not convinced they established sufficient notability or coverage that could expand the article beyond what is essentially a trivial mention.
I disagree. There is enough coverage in the RS to independently expand the article beyond the battle coverage and into a substantial biography. I intend to do so in the next few days.
- Dr.K., I am open to being convinced. Ping me when you think you have something convincing. It should be both, be a "substantial biography" and establish notability. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 08:43, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- Well, Cinderella, will you join the party? Be careful though when you leave. Don't forget any shoe behind. :) Dr. K. 04:58, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Revised position to now keep, though the references are pretty much all Greek to me. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 05:21, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you very much Cinderella. It was very nice meeting you. As far as the sources, Google translate is not as bad as it used to be, and you are welcome to ask me anytime. Best regards. Dr. K. 06:03, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- My comment re "all Greek to me" was jest. I take these in good faith as being suitable though with translation, I have found some knowledge of the language to be a great benefit. Well done, Cinderella157 (talk) 07:55, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

- Cinderella Thank you for joining our party, which is guaranteed to be a winner! And also thanks to Dr.K. for that generous invite as well! Dr.K. has really supplied some good sources and great reasons for keeping this article that are very convincing. What was once just a very short completely unsourced stub with so little to say has grown into a tremendous article full of information with sources. I also see that after the article's expansion that it's views have really gone way up as well! What a superb effort on the part of Dr.K.! Davidgoodheart (talk) 07:30, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

- Strong Keep, article has been largely expanded and also is now well sourced enough that it can be kept. It also just keeps getting improved very often as well. Great job Dr.K.! Davidgoodheart (talk) 01:56, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Davidgoodheart: Thank you very much David for the nice gesture of your !vote and for your kind comments. I really appreciate the encouragement coming from a great editor such as yourself. Take care. Dr. K. 02:37, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

I became aware of this article while conducting research for another AfD debate. The article fails to assert notability. A quick check fails to establish notability to the burden of WP:GNG with depth of coverage and audience base satisfactory to WP:ORG. I don't support redirecting it. Since Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate source of anything and everything that is independently verifiable, the lack of notability should be a ground for deletion. Graywalls (talk) 21:46, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- Expanding my position in favor of deletion: This organization certainly fits the bill of Run of the mill. Anything that caters to a sub-culture or a special interest is notable among a small circle of people. This is common sense. A tune shop that specializes on one brand and caters to enthusiasts would have mentions in auto related magazines. It can be notable regional among enthusiasts of that brand... and locally notable in automotive circle in general. But in the grand scheme of things, those things are often "run of the mill". My article interests are things but I always take a step back and consider it from a non-local and unrelated people perspective. Although it might appear to those seeing AfDs as I'm choosing after the creator's articles, it just happens that a large number of questionable articles I come across are the ones created by him. I see it as absolutely absurd he's essentially trying to make an article on practically EVERY LGBT related organizations and businesses like gay bars and unfortunately, I'm frequently seeing more or less the same concern. Lack of GNG, NORG, AUD, MILL and so on. Graywalls (talk) 18:48, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- You've already made your point re: notability of Oregon Bears. I'm the article creator and I've voted in favor of redirecting the article to the LGBT culture in Portland article, where mention of the group is entirely appropriate. The list on the LGBT culture talk page is more a list of topics to cover than a list of missing articles, so I'll update the section title. Meanwhile, you're still failing to argue why mention of the Oregon Bears is inappropriate at the LGBT culture article. I was trying to keep this discussion focused on the Oregon Bears, but this has bled into the LGBT culture article. All of this could have been avoided by simply redirecting the Oregon Bears page to the LGBT culture article, which I would have gladly done myself if you had just posted your concerns on the talk page. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:02, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- As a contextual preface, everyone of similar type run-of-the-mill articles that I've dealt with, that happened to be from you have been the same issue and you've been pushing for "it should be expanded" or "redirect to something". I've already quoted you the relevant phrase from the policy WP:FAILN. Spawning out a mass of articles about run of the mill places and leaning down against "Redirects are cheap" as a way of anchoring presence into Wikipedia goes against the spirit.

- While the mention of the mention is in a passive voice, Another Believer inserted that mention an hour after the AfD was started and shortly before he proposed redirect into this AfD. Graywalls (talk) 17:22, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Graywalls: So what? I certainly stand by this edit. There was no need to go to AfD when we could have simply redirected and merged content about the Oregon Bears over to the LGBT culture in Portland article. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:24, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

- Just because one could have done something that suites your desire better doesn't mean a thing. Per WP:FAILN, deletion is the proper action for clearly non-notable existence such as this organization. Graywalls (talk) 18:05, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

- Just redirect to LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon. The LGBT culture article should mention this group in some form, and the redirect serves a purpose by sending readers to the right place for more information. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon, where it can be mentioned as a group there. It's a Portland group, so it would make more sense to be to redirect to LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon over Bear (gay culture). --Kbabej (talk) 23:22, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- that would be along the same line of argument as protesting the deletion of
Starbucks Location #whateversome person's vegan food cart article and pushing for redirect into the neighborhood,coffee shop in the locality, vegan culture in Portland, small businesses in the township or whatever category that comes into the mind of article creator and relying on dependent sources to justify article existence. Graywalls (talk) 04:40, 31 March 2019 (UTC)- I'm not following. Keeping the redirect sends people searching "Oregon Bears" to the LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon article, which is quite appropriate. ---Another Believer (Talk) 04:43, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- This isn't a chapter of a parent organization. I think you are conflating Bear (gay culture) with an organization. The subject of the AfD is Oregon Bears, a Portland-based org. It makes more sense to redirect to LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon rather than a slang term. --Kbabej (talk) 16:45, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- I could have used a different examples. Some run of the mill non-notable local organizations like this one... or hypothetical companies like Jane Doe's kabobs or Cindy's Dry Cleaners shouldn't have their stand-alone article. Addressing these concerns by redirecting creates an expectation that any business or local groups can be inserted and expected to get a redirect at the minimum to category of creator's choice, thus leading to deterioration of Wikipedia by encouraging spamdexing. Graywalls (talk) 18:31, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- You might review Wikipedia:Redirect#Purposes_of_redirects, which says, redirects are appropriate for "Sub-topics or other topics which are described or listed within a wider article". Since Oregon Bears are mentioned in the LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon article, a redirect is appropriate. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:34, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- Agree to disagree. It's not appropriate to spawn out redirects for whatever non-notable business editors can think of. Graywalls (talk) 18:40, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- Graywalls, I didn't say creating redirects for "whatever non-notable businesses" was appropriate. You're putting words in my mouth. Please keep focus on Oregon Bears, specifically. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:41, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- An organization, such as Oregon Bears is an example of such a dime a dozen, non-notable, run of the mill, incorporated organizations. Graywalls (talk) 18:43, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- Graywalls, Mentioning the organization in the LGBT culture in Portland article is totally appropriate because there are sources describing the group in this context. Therefore, having a redirect send readers there is also appropriate. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:45, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect to LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon and/or Bear (gay culture). Having lived there, I can attest to the notable existence of this highly organized sub-culture, (from various encounters, ie; unintentional WP:ORIG). AHampton (talk) 21:07, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
- just to clarify, from the official page of the organization whose notability is being challenged, I am seeing "Oregon Bears is a category 501(c)(7) Social and Recreation Club." and "Oregon Bears, Inc. is a fraternal and social organization committed to fun and fundraising." So, it's quite possible that the subculture Bear (gay culture) is notable, but per No inherited notability policy, there's no such thing as presumptive notability passed down to organizations related to this subculture. Per No inherent notability, this organization fails to establish notability per WP:ORG and WP:GNG just like most obscure local businesses and "small garage" type existence. I don't think this specific organization is generally notable. I'm not finding compelling evidence that it is either. Despite this, since I fully expected Another Believer to object it, so, pursuant to WP:FAILN, I'm expected to process it through AfD. Graywalls (talk) 13:37, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- There's no need to call me out when others clearly agree with my rationale. You've made your case that Oregon Bears may not be independently notable and qualify for a standalone article, but I'm not following how/why keeping mention of the group in other articles is inappropriate. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:06, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- "For articles on subjects that are clearly not notable, then deletion is usually the most appropriate response, although other options may help the community to preserve any useful material." from WP:FAILN. Clearly not notable, such as this organization whose presence is a trivial mention in the Portland Mercury which routinely publish things to do, and a trivial mention (a line item in a long list) on the city's special interest topic. There's not a single damn source showing any hint of notability. Graywalls (talk) 16:41, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- Again, you're making the argument there should not be a standalone article about the group. You're failing to explain why the group cannot be mentioned in the LGBT culture in Portland article. Once again, we're going in circles, so I'll let others wrap this up. ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:44, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

- Comment: User:Graywalls insists on removing mention of the Oregon Bears from the LGBT culture in Portland, Oregon article, for reasons I don't understand.

- So the local alt-weekly wrote a short article about a bar that mentions this group, and the other alt-weekly profiled the with the concept of Bears based on their press release. The WWeek and Mercury publish issues on a wide variety of local-interest topics every week, but it's a disservice not to dutifully mention anything and everything that the newspaper does?

comment So it seems like there's little to no disagreement that there's no merit to a stand alone article.

Delete per WP:1E and WP:BIO. The subject received a lot of media coverage for what happened to him at President Trump's first press conference in 2017. We have now had 2 years to see if he has any notability beyond that, and the answer is no. A possible claim to notability, being the first Hasidic Jew to become a member of the White House press corps, is sourced to a vimeo video. The page is now tagged with a laundry list of issues, most prominent among them the issue of notability. The subject himself has contributed unsourced biographical details to the page.

- Keep. I agree to Northamerica1000, please let the page in question alive. Thanks.
- Strong Keep Yes, someone with the username Turx Jake on his 2nd edit here tried to link Turx's personal email in the article. While unprofessional, and defying the rules and etiquette (not unlike that press conference incident), it's not a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. While more sourcing would be nice, the article was written and survived a previous Afd based on what's already there. Other issues can be resolved with copyedits. This list has many unlinked names on it, and that's because just being a WH correspondent, especially for an obscure publication like Ami, or even being the author of some obscure book, generally wouldn't pass GNG. If Trump's response to the question had been WP:MILL, we would have had a MILL subject, but instead we now have Turx forever seared into our memories with that train wreck of an exchange. The acrimonious tone of the response, directed at an Orthodox person, served to highlight Trump's awkward situation of enjoying support from both Orthodox Jews and the Alt-right, the latter accused of fomenting some of the antisemitism Turx asked the president about. StonyBrook (talk) 00:14, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- @StonyBrook: So are you saying that he's notable for a one-time event? The most important argument for notability is his being the first Hasidic Jew to become a member of the White House press corps, but that fact has been basically unsourced for two years. Yoninah (talk) 21:07, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- He is known for more than just that one event. He is also a White House correspondent with lots of political exposure, and with other mentions in the press. But mostly I am arguing that Turx isn't a run-of-the-mill journalist, with the Hasidic thing definitely adding to that quirkiness. If the reporter who had asked the question had been someone more vanilla, for all we know the president's response would have been more balanced – and forgotten. It was the 'Turxiness' of Turx in my opinion that led to the incident more than the incident leads to Turx, much the same as it would have been if a Black Hebrew Israelite reporter with a Twitter handle emblazoned on his headdress had asked Trump what his administration was planning to do in response to the Shooting of Antwon Rose Jr. Therefore I don't even think it's correct to replace the article with something like Jake Turx press conference incident. It is well enough left alone as it is. StonyBrook (talk) 19:15, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Definitely Keep He is definitely not using it for self-promotion. I am familiar with his work, and as far as I know he is only interested in accuracy. Even if he did edit it himself, he is only doing so to give more information about himself for those curious about his background and how he ended up in the White House press corps. Please keep this page - I also have a hunch he may show up in the news again, as he may still go on to even greater things than he has been doing in the past — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.105.204.148 (talk) 19:58, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

- KEEP The "discussion" !? on this page is reason enough NOT to delete the page.
Recommendations for improvement are always welcome, BUT vandalization, ideologue censorship, ignorance, personal prejudice, disagreement with the subject, are NOT.
The notariety, interest, disagreement, agreement, regarding the subject surpass wiki USER INTEREST requirements. Wiki USERS want INFORMATION on this subject, author, his history, list of works, and they DO NOT want THEIR wiki search on THIS subject turning up VOID (or wiki users will go elsewhere).
Bots, hot head Ignoramuses, ideologues are always on the prowl on wikepedia vandalizing or putting up for DISCUSSION or DELETION some page they personally have an axe to grind on it.
WIKI Policy does NOT allow this since the whole point of wiki is to make AVAILABLE to ALL USERS OF THE INTETNET ANYWHERE WORLDWIDE
- QUICK *** ACCESS *** TO INFO
on ALL persons, places, things of ANY note or interest or influence.
I'm CERTAIN this subject's page gets more views and hits than most. Certainly more than most obscure molecular formulas of questionable accuracy that wiki supports and a handful of users need!
While I personally don't agree with every opinion or position of this pundit, the subject keeps the interest and sparks the thought of MANY on ALL sides, including peers, intellectuals, persons of notable fame, infamy, or wannabees that don't come close to the talent of this subject.
The subject's wide range of interesting subjects, including but not limited to, investigations and background research on Medjagorje's history and recent years of New Age hysteria, or his participation on the Samuel Francis Conference panel, would themselves mark the subject for INCLUSION IN WIKI PAGES, and the rant below on Nietzsche does a disservice to Nietzsche. By the same specious arguments, we might be forced to waste time and discussion on a wiki NIETZSCHE PAGE DELETION and that would be every bit as ABSURD, foolish and irresponsible.
Improve the page? YES.
Delete it? NO.

- A bold assumption that these are different users --mfb (talk) 02:34, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete The article mentions a couple flash-in-the-pan incidents, the coverage of which is insufficient for the GNG. I suspected that he might be notable per WP:AUTHOR, but I can't really substantiate the claim that his "collective body of work" is seen as "significant or well-known" in serious circles. Going to JSTOR, we find only a few reviews, and they sound like this:
- Dionysos Rising does not approach the bar of serious scholarship. Countless relevant scholarly sources are absent from the bibliography, and most contradict Jones's thesis. Repeatedly, Jones's key claims are not borne out by the evidence, even when he elects to refer to them, usually with highly questionable, nonacademic, poorly researched, and rarely documented texts. [...] Jones's Nietzsche chapter is a perfect example of how not to do history. [...] Though this review is limited to questions surrounding Nietzsche, the careful reader will find that similar problems plague all four chapters of the work and the underlying thesis. For the reasons outlined here and numerous others, Dionysos Rising cannot be recommended as scholarly reading, but comes highly recommended for its entertainment value, and its ability to exhibit the weaknesses inherent in any history of ideas assuming at the outset that "biology is destiny." If the work accomplishes anything, it is this: it fulfills Nietzsche's great fear ("I know my destiny. Someday my name will be associated with something terrible").
- And this:
- This is one of the worst books I have ever read, at least of the academic variety. It would probably be more accurate to say of the purportedly academic variety, since Jones's book rests on what looks to be a remarkably thin evidentiary base. Whole chapters unfold with footnotes to only three or four secondary sources. Certain astonishing assertions aren't footnoted at all. I've never seen an allegedly scholarly book quite like it. [...] In his own idiosyncratic way, Jones is a mirror image of the arrogant elites that his unnecessarily long book excoriates.
- The only review I could find that wasn't actively disdainful addressed The Angel and the Machine as just one of three recent books on Hawthorne. And even it says that Jones's writing "suffers inexcusably from being utterly oblivious to scholarship of the past fifteen or twenty years." I don't think the scholarly evaluation of Jones's books, such as they are, rises to the bar that WP:AUTHOR sets. On the other hand, if these few scattered reviews are considered to pass that bar, then reflecting their content properly per NPOV would require a serious rewrite of the page, to WP:TNT levels. Let's delete the page and move on with our lives. XOR'easter (talk) 15:09, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Comment It looks like Jones may have connections with antisemetic organizations and may have cited a holocaust denier. Not sure what the context was, it could have been critically, but based on his youtube channel some videos seem to have antisemetic tones - are there any specific policies regarding this? https://www.adl.org/sites/default/files/documents/assets/pdf/combating-hate/E-Michael-Jones.pdf https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqu-4AY-501xV5iCtt7dMKQ/videos Swil999 (talk) 19:44, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- Political views aren't taken into account when it comes to notability. There are plenty of articles on people who are notable entirely do to their activism on certain issues, including more controversial subjects such as anti-semitism. Its about whether or not the subject has proven through reliable sources to meet the threshold of WP:GNG. Best, GPL93 (talk) 22:19, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- delete - there doesnt seem to be significant third party coverage of his work as influential or notable, nor of the magazine he founded- most of the brief coverage seems to be institutions quickly distancing themselves from him when antisemitism is surfaced; but he doesnt seem to have made a name for himself as a notable pariah a la Fred Phelps either. 67.220.13.25 (talk) 22:02, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

- A 1300-page self-published book that is held in a grand total of seven libraries counts for roughly nothing in evaluating notability. Both WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF are clear that merely having written many things is not sufficient; a body of work must be verifiably significant. XOR'easter (talk) 19:20, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

- Keep: Used within journalism, e.g. Reuters. Used in scholarly sources, e.g. article from the Brooklyn Journal of International Law and the aforementioned article. Most interestingly, the term was also used widely during early proposals for a North American Union as early as 1861 (when Stephen A. Douglas wrote his article about union with Cuba, Mexico, and Central American states that was only published posthumously) with the following sources that could certainly be used to flesh out a history section both in this article and in the NAU article:

Not an ambiguous title, since there is only one topic by this name (the TV show). Some entries (the three movies, based on the TV episodes) were recently added, but they do not apply, as the title "Winx Club" would never be used on its own for them. Hammill Ten (talk) 14:03, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

- Delete, the other entries in the franchise are not ambiguous with "Winx Club", since they have to be referred to by their more specific names, exactly because they're in the franchise. They could be in a List of Winx Club films, but that seems unneeded given the article on the franchise. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:37, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

There are no secondary sources in the article, nor can I find any. Though I'm a huge fan of this recurring sketch, Bruiser is a little-known sketch show even among fans of the genre and this sketch is no different. 2 million views on YouTube (not a huge amount anyway) is not how we measure notability, unfortunately, and in particular I've had to remove the link as it's a copyright violation and Wikipedia cannot include links to copyvios.
To be notable, the sketch would have to have been discussed in reliable secondary sources (e.g. newspaper reviews). The article doesn't present any (reddit is not reliable; YouTubers are not professional reviewers; the BBC link is a primary source) and I cannot find any. — Bilorv (he/him) (talk) 13:30, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

- Either redirect to Bruiser (TV series) as it could be a viable search term or just delete altogether. I agree with the nominator that it fails WP:GNG due to lack of coverage from reliable, secondary sources. Aoba47 (talk) 16:44, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- Why would you delete it? There is so much useless content on Wikipedia anyway which is less important than this? That article took me three hours to make, and I'd get really annoyed if it got deleted. That's the porblem with Wikipedia. It's supposed to be a community thing but whenever people try to make articles to help they just get deleted. I'm a teenager, unlike most typical Wikipedia editors (white christian men from America/Canada, 35+), and I don't know why I would have an account unless I wanted to represent my grossly underrepresented age demographic. Anyway, why would you want to delete it? It's not like you need to. It's not like Wikipedia is running out of space! Leavepuckgackle1998 P.S even if you did delete it someone would recreate it (talk) 00:31, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Leavepuckgackle1998! I understand your frustration, but Wikipedia has notability policies because we are an encyclopedia, not a collection of all information. I appreciate that you want to help but there are better ways in which you can do this. To take one, Bruiser (TV series) has just a one-sentence Reception section—can you find any newspaper reviews of the show and add a couple of quotes from them into the Reception section, adding the newspaper review URL as a reference? Alternatively, if you want to create an article and you're a Mitchell and Webb fan then I notice that Robert Webb's autobiography How Not to Be a Boy doesn't have an article yet. If you can find two newspaper reviews of the book (hint: you can) then the subject meets #1 of our notability criteria for books and thus we can have an article on it. I empathise that Wikipedia is very difficult to navigate and understand at first and there is a big learning curve but you can leave me a message at my talk page or ask a volunteer at the Teahouse for any questions you have. Thanks! — Bilorv (he/him) (talk) 01:30, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- I would recommend reading the general notability guideline to better understand what makes an article have enough notability for a separate page. It mostly boils down to the question of whether or not a topic has received significant coverage from reliable, third-party sources. If you would like to defend the notability for this particular article, then feel free to either post sources here and incorporate them into the article. Wikipedia is a community and I hope you continue to edit on here in the future. And by the way, I may be an American male, but I am under the age of 35 and not a religious person at all so that stereotype is not entirely true lol. Aoba47 (talk) 01:35, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Non-notable sketch from a fairly non-notable TV show. Yes, many of the people in it went on to be notable, but it garnered little interest at the time and has not really done so since. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:15, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to Bruiser (TV series), where it is mentioned, as a viable WP:ATD-R. I understand you may have put a lot of work into it, Leavepuckgackle1998, but it does not meet the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia. Coverage in independent reliable sources is important to maintain the standards that we have. Even if this page is deleted, it will not be lost, and you can request a copy be emailed to you at WP:REFUND and it can be reused elsewhere. Alpha3031 (t • c) 06:23, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Please reconsider this. There is no (or very little) actual need to delete this article. I respect your opinions, but I think there's just as much reason as there is on both sides to keep it. It is not like Wikipedia is running out of space. Delete some articles about episodes of the office, or MWWS murders or modern family or Inside No.9 if you really have to, I don't know, but please, keep this up here, or if you don't think it's not up to scratch, help improve it like the experienced editors you are.

- Warning: complex argument incoming.
- Lists of scientists whose names are used as SI units and non SI units is a list containing two other lists:
- I propose Lists of scientists whose names are used as SI units and non SI units be renamed List of scientists whose names are used as units.
- Then, merge the content from the two aforementioned sub-lists into List of scientists whose names are used as units and redirect them both to it.
- I don't see the reason to fork the two lists out, quite frankly.
- So, I guess a complex merge is my !vote.
- SITH (talk) 15:26, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- Delete, followed either by merge of the two affected articles as suggested above, or interlinking them with hatnotes. While there is easily enough material to exist as two separate articles, it's not actually essential; one article with two subsections would do the job just fine. If two articles are wanted, they can reference each other clearly by a number of available means (including just a prominent WL in the lede). This somewhat awkward mini-dab is needed in neither case. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:37, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

- Delete and merge the two lists into List of scientists whose names are used as units - much more useful to the reader. Perhaps even best to merge into one table, with a column for SI/non-SI (or SI-base, SI-derived, non-SI), so that the whole list can be sorted and searched in one go. PamD 11:58, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

- Delete I could find only two movies (not three). Still the subject fails WP:NACTOR. The subject also fails WP:GNG as there is no significant coverage. Wherever she is covered, it is press release for something, and even in that she gets passing references. —usernamekiran(talk) 09:39, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

- You need to supply sourcing evidence that passes WP:RS on this matter. Crypto blogs are not accepted now that there's considerable mainstream coverage of crypto - David Gerard (talk) 07:32, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep This is one of the most popular Ethereum-based DApps, and would be considered notable especially relative to the cryptocurrency space. This passes WP:RS, saying a cryptocurrency should only be covered on Wikipedia if it gets mainstream media coverage (typically reserved only for the top 10 cryptocurrencies or so) and that all crypto-focused sites are irrelevant is not appropriate. We should be focused on adding information about cryptocurrencies to Wikipedia, not removing it. 2601:88:280:2C45:8196:B21F:BF25:B957 (talk) 05:54, 3 April 2019 (UTC) — 2601:88:280:2C45:8196:B21F:BF25:B957 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

The result was keep. After being relisted once and garnering a handful of comments, the clear consensus is that she is notable. Willthacheerleader18 also makes a good point. (non-admin closure) Dusti*Let's talk!* 08:14, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
