This article was written nearly exclusively by single purpose accounts and it shows. The writing is largely unverified and mostly unverifiable (contra BLP) and reeks of promotionalism. This alone would be a justification to delete. However, even if you feel like that could be fixed through editing (and the use of some considerably less than RS sourcing to try and verify) it doesn't fix the fact that he also doesn't appear to be a notable journalist.

In order to establish notability, an article about an organization or company must meet WP:ORGCRITE. This is a somewhat higher standard than WP:GNG; it requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." This article does not meet those criteria. The first reference provides nothing more than a directory entry: that does not qualify as "significant coverage." The second reference and the external links are authored by the company itself, meaning that they are not independent. WP:BEFORE reveals no other satisfactory sources that could be included. At the end of the day, this article contains no sources that would pass WP:ORGCRITE, much less the "multiple" sources required by that standard. Accordingly, the article should be deleted.

  • Keep A Google search does seem to bring up a good number of Portuguese-language references that appear reliable. I have also located this English article from 2011 that does a decent job of discussing the company in some detail.

  • Keep. There is some significant coverage such as [6] and [7] (currently cited in the article). Her journals were considered significant enough to merit publication. Also, do you have access to the paper "Educating with Heart, Head, and Hands: Pestalozzianism, Women Seminaries, and the Spread of Progressive Ideas in Indian Territory." mentioned in the article? We should check this before envisioning deletion because coverage in scholarly journal is a particularly strong sign of notability. The same can be said about the book "Cultivating the Rosebuds : The Education of Women at the Cherokee Female Seminary": we need to know how much coverage of Whitmore is in there. Pichpich (talk) 18:47, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There were sources covering the subject listed in the article, they were just badly formatted and mostly listed in the Bibliography rather than in the References section. I renamed the Bibliography section into Sources and cleaned it up a bit. In addition to the sources mentioned by Pichpich above, there are some others there as well. E.g. this book discusses Whitmore Goodale in detail on pp 31-33. The Bibliography/Sources section also lists an academic journal article[8]; the article sits behind a paywall but I would AGF this ref since all the other ones given there do check out. Overall, (even minus that journal ref) there is sufficient coverage here to satisfy WP:GNG. Nsk92 (talk) 22:09, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable politician whose only office was mayor of a city with 54k people. Only references are from local newspapers. If Berg is notable, then every mayor with coverage in the local news is also notable. Does not pass WP:NPOL. I am also nominating her husband's page, because he has even less of a claim to notability (mayor of the same city whose only reference is being mentioned in an article on Helen's death):

  • Delete mayors at this level are not default notable, and the sourcing is not enough to show notability otherwise.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:35, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless somebody can improve the articles. Corvallis is certainly a significant enough city that a mayor could get in the door if his or her article were substantially well-sourced, but it isn't large enough to confer an automatic inclusion freebie on all of its mayors in the absence of a demonstrated WP:GNG pass — and while Helen does include a bit more content about specific aspects of her mayoralty than inadequate articles about mayors usually do, that means it's starting down the right path but doesn't mean it's reached the finish line. If all you've got for sourcing is two death announcements and her announcement of her retirement, all in the local media where coverage of mayors is simply expected to exist, then that's not enough in and of itself. And Alan's even worse, being cited only to a namecheck of his existence in his wife's death notice rather than any coverage about him, and offering literally none of the substantive content about his mayoralty (specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects he had on the development of the city, etc.) that would required. The bar for mayoral notability is considerably higher than just being able to offer minimal verification that the person exists or existed as a mayor — it requires a lot more substance, and a lot more sourcing, than either of these articles is actually attempting to show. Bearcat (talk) 18:35, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Helen Will pass WP:GNG as sources are incorporated in the article. Corvallis, Oregon is not large enough for its mayor to be seen as automatically notable, but as Bearcat mentions can pass if it can be demonstrated that there is more than verification the subject served in office. Beyond the obituarites in the article, we have this oral history interview through Oregon State, the creation of an award in her honor as past president of the Oregon League of Cities and some picture of their charitable donations. --Enos733 (talk) 22:59, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Interviews in which Helen is the speaker do not support notability — she has to be the subject that other people are speaking about in a source, not the person who's doing the speaking, for that source to support her notability. The creation of an award named after her is not a notability clincher if your source for that is the awarding organization's own self-published content about itself, and not journalist-written news content about the award's creation in an actual media outlet. Making charitable donations is not a notability clincher if your source for that is a donation recipient's own self-published brochure about itself, and not journalist-written news content about the donation in an actual media outlet. The notability test isn't the things she's done, it's the amount of journalism that has or hasn't been done by the media to cover the things she's done.

A elected official is distinct from other biographies since there is a voluminous public record of their actions. What is needed for an entry for an elected mayor is to show that there is independent sourcing to indicate more that the subject served in office, so we can create a biography for a global audience. In this case, the sources I found create a full picture of who the subject was (and all of those sources, while may not count toward determining notability, go toward developing a portrait of the subject's life [and I will say the write up of the interview is an independent source that would count toward GNG]). From the sources (and other links), we know that the subject served as President of the Oregon League of Cities (and has subsequently been honored by the organization with an award named after them), donated large parcels for conservation, has their papers saved in the Oregon State archives, has a post office and a plaza in Corvallis named after the subject, and a partial record of the projects the subject worked on in office. --Enos733 (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A correction: the 2007–2008 bill to name a post office after her failed to pass the US Senate, and I don't see any evidence that they tried again later. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:48, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's also distinct from other biographies because you should always be able to find local sources for local politicians, but all of those are considered routine. This is a small town and the only available information on her in the article is sourced directly from the small town, including the other articles posted above. We've consistently held that's not enough to be notable for an entry. SportingFlyer T·C 18:15, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We have done no such thing. Notability for corporations has a no-local-sources clause. General notability does not. It only requires that the sources be reliable, independent, and in-depth. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:14, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, you and SportingFlyer are both partly right and partly wrong. Mayors don't always have to have nationalized coverage in order to be notable — that doesn't hurt, obviously, but the thing a mayor has to have to qualify for an article is not necessarily nationalized coverage per se, but sufficient coverage to write a genuinely substantial article about his or her political significance rather than just technical verification of his or her existence. Below the level of the mayor, however, for the likes of city councillors and school board trustees much more clearly nationalizing coverage is necessary, and even just getting a mayor over WP:GNG still requires a lot more than just the two or three death-notice hits from the local media that were the article's entire sourcing when it was first nominated. Bearcat (talk) 16:20, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be clear, interviews are not independent or notability-supporting sources at all. It's not a question of determining the notability and reliability of the media outlet that's publishing the interview — an interview represents the subject speaking about herself in the first person, not independent analysis of her impact or importance by people independent of herself, which means it's subject to all the same issues as self-published content would be. So an interview can be used to verify stray biographical facts that aren't notability claims per se, such as the subject's birthdate or where they went to high school, but they don't count toward the process of determining whether the person is notable in the first place. It's not just a question of who's publishing the piece, it's also a question of who's doing the speaking in the piece. Bearcat (talk) 16:20, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's actually debatable, and WP:INTERVIEW explains the debate. The argument for is that reliable sources don't waste their time or page space doing long indepth interviews with people who aren't notable. So if they print the interview, they have taken note of the person, which is the point of Wikipedia:Notability, "sufficiently significant attention by the world at large ... from reliable and independent sources". --GRuban (talk) 16:43, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the source labeled as an interview has an introductory page with in-depth non-interview coverage of the subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:55, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Helen, neutral for Alan. Helen M. Berg has top citation count 277 on Google Scholar, but then dropping off (another 128-citation paper, "Effect of taurine on sarcoplasmic reticulum function and force in skinned fast‐twitch skeletal muscle fibres of the rat", appears to be by a different Australian researcher with the same name). However, under her earlier name, "Helen M. Lowry", she has another 107-citation paper and several more double-digit ones. All of these works appear to be on gender differences in statistical economics. Alan B. Berg has top citation count 500 (for a paper on forestry) but then again steeply dropping off. So both cases for WP:PROF#C1 are plausible but borderline, with Helen's looking stronger to me (because her well-cited works are multiple and her dropoff is less steep). We also have GNG-level in-depth coverage of Helen, beyond the routine coverage of her that we would expect from local newspapers from her terms in office, in the Oregon State Library "Women's Voices" exhibit and in an in-depth local newspaper obituary (not paid death notice), and in another news story about a city plaza being dedicated in her name plenty of material for an article. Obviously, mayor of Corvallis is not automatically notable per WP:NPOL, but that does not prevent notability through other criteria (WP:PROF or WP:GNG in this case), and I think she has that. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:12, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have significantly expanded Helen's article based on the coverage already discussed in this AfD, two new national-level (non-Oregon) newspaper stories that quote her regarding two different challenges she was facing as mayor, and non-trivial non-local coverage of her in a journal article on religious politicians [9]. At this point the article is a lot more detailed than many, so I suspect any remaining objections to it can be classified as either misreading GNG as being about significance rather than availability of adequate sourcing, or misreading NPOL as denying notability to local politicians even when they pass GNG. I also learned through this expansion that her father and probably her second husband are notable, but of course this does not really add to her own notability. Still neutral on Alan. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:50, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • I still don't think she's notable. It's not a falsehood that we exclude mayors of small localities who have only received routine coverage. I see no non-routine coverage here, and WP:PROF is very marginal. SportingFlyer T·C 15:27, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • If you compare the news coverage that you can find for Alan Berg vs Helen Berg you will see the true difference between routine and non-routine (I have searched and found almost nothing beyond the existence of a park named after him in which someone got murdered). —David Eppstein (talk) 18:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • PS delete Alan. With only one well-cited paper and no in-depth coverage that I could find, I don't see a case for either PROF or GNG. If the article on Helen is kept, we might consider a redirect from Alan to her. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:31, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment In addition to her coverage in the local small-town papers, the Oregonian (Portland-based) had an obituary for her. That her collected papers are held by Oregon State tends to indicate that Oregon State believes her to be notable. She has one paper [10] with a moderately high number of citations: I don't think it's enough for a pass of WP:NPROF C1, but it certainly doesn't detract from notability.

This is an unreleased film, and does not satisfy

This article has no independent reliable sources, only Twitter, which is not a reliable source, and a web site for the film.

This film was already the subject of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Luca (2021 film), and nothing has changed. The previous deletion discussion was closed as Draftify, and the draft is at Draft:Luca (2021 film). This version of the article contains less information than the deleted article, and has been tagged for G4, but the nomination has not been acted on, so renominating for a deletion discussion. Since the draft already exists, this version of the article should be deleted again. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:47, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My guess is that this was once the Jenness Ranch, and that Annette was Mr. Jenness's wife or daughter, because it is abundantly clear from GMaps that this is and always was a ranch. If you "drive" by the place on Streetview you can see the cattle, and one of the later topos indicates the corral/loading facility which seems to be built to the latest scientific principles. Across the road from the house itself is the ruins of a barn, and that is what there is and mostly ever was to Annette, other than the 4th class post office somewhere on an earlier version of the premises. I also note that one of the earlier topos seeming labels every household in the larger area. Not a settlement beyond a single ranch. Mangoe (talk) 17:08, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

At first, this sounded impressive enough to be kept as probably notable: a silver medal at the Asian Speed Skating Championships, wow.

The problem is that "second" and "silver medal" also meant "last", as there were only two competitors at that distance, with Delgermaa ending 10 seconds behind the winner. Her times aren't really impressive either.[15]

This is a good example that competing at continental championships isn't always an indicator of excelling internationally or being at or near the top of the sport. Some championships, for whatever reason, get very low participation, with the strongest skaters not present (e.g. at the 1000m the same day, you get 3 Kazakh, 3 Koreans, and one way, way slower Indian skater: but no Chinese or Japanese, which are two of the top countries in women's speed skating[16]).

What is needed is evidence that WP:BIO is met, but I haven't been able to find good sources about her (non-database sources, that is). Fram (talk) 13:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep She was not one of the best speed skater in the world, but she is an important person of the speed skating history of Mongolia. She broke 18 times a senior national record and became four times national champion. Mongolia is getting better and better in speed skating since the 2000s having an official ISU 400 metres speed skating rink and in a previous edition Mongolia won their first medal ever in speed skating at an international Games (Olympic Youth Olympics). Without people like Delgermaa, this wouldn't has happened. Because she was a main sportsperson in Mongolia, it's highly likely she had many coverage in Mongolian sources. However, there are no Mongolian secondary sources online, and also we don't have her name in Mongolian language. If you search for other Mongolian athletes, you couldn't find secondary sources as well. For instance Olympian Tsedenjavyn Lkhamjav (having an article in Mongolian). (I can't find ANY secondary source about speed skating in Mongolia. While the country is one of the few countries in Asia having an 400 metres ice skating rank, hosted international ISU competitions. There must be secondary speed skating sources, but not findable online). SportsOlympic (talk) 14:19, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Then let someone who has access to these hypothetical sources write the article? Speculating that there have to be sources won't help us. Fram (talk) 14:23, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • With hypothetical sources I mean the news sources of Mongolia. Not accessible online. Wikipedia shouldn't create a bias when we can't access the foreign sources, to just ignore/remove all the relevand information we do have. So we should also delete for that reason: List of Mongolian records in speed skating? And Mendbayryn Naratsetseg? That would be ridiculous. SportsOlympic (talk) 14:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • We don't know whether the Mongolian media had any attention for their speed skaters or not. That's not creating a bias, that's following WP:V and WP:BIO. You seem to confuse the case of say, a Mongolian editor presenting offline sources which we accept on good faith (which would establish notability), and an editor claiming without evidence and without knowledge of the situation in the country that sources have to exist, which is not something which should simply be accepted. The WP:BURDEN is on you to present sources; it is impossible for me or anyone else to prove that no sources exist. Fram (talk) 14:57, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per SportsOlympic. She's important to her country's role in the sport.  oncamera  (talk page) 22:14, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. All the national-level accomplishments might mean something in Mongolia, but that depends whether speed skating has a following there, and it often does not when the level is so low. Lots of sports are huge in some countries and negligible in many countries, for instance baseball. On the regional (Asian) scene she is clearly non-notable per Fram. Geschichte (talk) 15:21, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There are no readily available sources, but SportsOlympic makes a good point about the plausible reasons for that lack. There are plenty of records for the competition results. Most importantly to me, her prowess should have nothing to do with keeping an encyclopedic article - if that was the bar, we'd possibly not have an article for Eddie the Eagle.--Concertmusic (talk) 17:17, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment 2:Speed skating is still at a very low level in Mongolia. As we don’t have access to older news sources, we can take a look at the recent sourcing. Almost all main news sources are in the native language (see here). When taking a look at the few English language Mongolian news sources the coverage of speed skating is good, including writing about national championships. At montsame.mn see for instance: here and more examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. At the other English speaking main news outlet news.mn has good coverage, three examples: 1, 2, 3. So even while the level is so low in Mongolia: even the main Mongolian news sources are writing about it; unfortunately we don’t have access to the older sources.

  • Delete It is a solid argument above except it's not a valid argument. There is two profile pages and dead link and that are insufficient to determine if the persons even exists. It completely invalidates WP:V and WP:BIO. It is a WP:BLP after all. Machine generated profiles are entirely unsuitable. The best you could probably do here, is to park it in Draft until a suitable expert in the language can do a thorough search. But at the moment the argument for keep hasn't been made. What will happen is it will remain in a broken state. scope_creepTalk 14:15, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reply and comment @Spiderone: Why adding the word “completely”? Did you read my reasoning above that the Mongolian sources of that era are not available online; but showed it’s highly likely these sources exist. To demonstrate this further I added a non-Asian sources writing about her a source meeting the GNG guideline. If Europe is writing about Mongolian speed skating; much more sources exist in Mongolia and/or Mongolian. SportsOlympic (talk) 19:56, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would expect to see more in depth coverage in a biographical article, for example, details about how she got into the sport, personal life, sports technique, influence on others; generally, brief mentions and profile pages in database websites don't enable someone to meet GNG and I don't see why this article should be exempt Spiderone 20:11, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would appreciate people's views on this biography of a hotelier. The coverage does not look strong to me and I have not been able to find better sources. I tagged the article for notability in August - this has now been removed by another editor who has worked on the article.

Reference 1 is The Goring Hotel, a primary source. Reference 2 is The Daily Mirror, discussed at WP:RSP and categorised as "The source is marginally reliable (i.e. neither generally reliable nor generally unreliable), and may be usable depending on context". Reference 3 is to the Durham student newspaper. Reference 4 is to Know Your Meme, which WP:RSP says is "generally unreliable". Reference 5 is to The Goring Hotel again. Ref 6 is to the Daily Express, and WP:RSP categorises that as "generally unreliable". Ref 7 is to The Royal Warrant Holders' Association, which is a primary source. Ref 8 is to a site called Luxury Travel Advisor - I'm unsure about its reliability; there is a named author for the article, which is a positive. Ref 9 to same article. Ref 10 is to The Caterer, which I think is probably reliable, but is an interview. Ref 11 is to Boutique Hotelier, and reads like a press release (some of the text appears on the Master Innholders site too). Ref 12 is to The Tatler - the mention of the subject's name is just a photograph caption. Tacyarg (talk) 21:53, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:GNG, WP:MILL, WP:RS, and my standards. First off, there's no allegation of notability; being the first lawyer of an ethnic and sexual minority in a medium-sized country isn't notable. There's no evidence at all that she's anything other than an ordinary lawyer; she gave money to a charity like many middle-class people do. I looked under several different searches and found no newspaper articles, books, scholarly articles, or websites about this attorney. Without more evidence, this is a non-notable attorney. Sorry.

  • Delete I have come to doubt our direct competence to determine what "first x to do y" claims are notable. For a first x to do y claim to do notable, we need to insist on reliable 3rd party sources that mention the person and this fact (or that mention the person, and ignore the fact, if we have substantial enough of the later, we might create the article, though maybe not with the less than well sourced first x to do y claims). Having seen how some of these first x to do y claims work in reality, I thing we also must require the sourcing to be substanital. I say that because a few years back there was a US senate candidate who ran a virtually non-existent campaign, but still got an article on Wikipedia because of trivial, passing, anemic article notice on a first x to do y campaign. The local media covered this individual far less than a normal candidate because their campaign was so weak and non-existent.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:30, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A music event that doesn't meet WP:GNG. I would suggest a merge to Global Gathering but I don't think that any of this content is worth retaining. It's all written as if to promote the event, right down to the price listings for booze and the time at which we can expect each act to take to the stage. Sources do exist for this event but it's all routine announcements, not enough in-depth coverage. Spiderone 20:25, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: the Global Gathering festivals were major dance music festivals at the time, attracting tens of thousands of people – the claim in the article that this was the biggest dance festival in the country is very believable, even if it can't be verified. There probably are reviews of this particular year's event in music magazines like Mixmag, but as these aren't available online, I can't make a strong case for keeping this article based on WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES. And I can't disagree with the nominator that the content is just trivia and not worth keeping – there's nothing about the actual music except for set times. Richard3120 (talk) 21:42, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that Global Gathering itself warrants a topic, it's probably only second to Creamfields in terms of attendance. I've never been myself but I've been to many similar festivals and had a great time. My reason for starting the AfD is because I didn't feel each individual year warrants its own article. If you remove all the promo material, there isn't really an article left. Any worthwhile content could probably summarised in one or two sentences in the main article, if necessary. Spiderone 21:51, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I totally agree with you – I used to go to all those festivals too... GG, Creamfields, Homelands, Gatecrasher Summer Sound System... I just wanted to emphasise for editors who aren't British or into dance music, that these festivals are not some village green affair, they really were major music festivals in the UK. But you are right, it's unlikely that each year warrants its own article, and certainly not this kind of article full of irrelevant trivia. Richard3120 (talk) 22:02, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing the set list did give me some nostalgia I must say! Good times were certainly had. Spiderone 18:04, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Wow, that was an interesting message to receive about this article! It was me who created this article all those years ago (and I think it was my first one when I was a Wikipedia baby). But I'm not saying that because I created it and went to the event. I've always had a very long term view of encyclopedias. Personally speaking I find it interesting to read things written, say, a hundred years ago. I actually remember deliberately including things like the price of drinks and whatnot because I thought ephemera liek that maybe one day, many years from (even more than 15), someone might find the useful. It is true that the article doesn't have any pages and I suppose you can't go on my word that I wrote those setlist times out from the programme (maybe I can find it?). In principle, I don't mind it being merged into a larger Global Gathering page, but it sort-of seems a shame to lose such detail.(I can see it could do with some editing!) Maybe one day there will be no dance music and people will be curious to study Underworld's live music a bit like I was reading about Henry Purcell earlier today.

  • Comment - Wikipedia's notability policy has changed a fair bit since then. I think we have to be quite firm when it comes to WP:Notability and WP:Verifiability and it's hard to see articles like this meeting those standards any more. If a concert fandom Wiki exists, then that would be the appropriate place for these setlists and price lists etc. Spiderone 11:31, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • After thinking about it, I would probably say delete. Drinks prices in 2005 might be interesting to some people, but it's not encyclopedic material. More to the point, it's not verifiable either – the same goes for "most attendees arriving via the M40 motorway", "the weather was mainly overcast and there was occasional drizzle", the police had an X-ray machine... this is all trivia, and unverifiable trivia. Basically the only part that could be verified are the set lists, and we don't have a reliable source for that right now, and many editors aren't keen on having huge lists of performers of every year of the festival. Richard3120 (talk) 19:37, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete thoroughly unsourced (well, there's an implicit primary source of the festival's program), and largely promotional. We don't have stand-alone articles for each year of Burning Man (with 70k attendees), so I don't buy the WP:ITSNOTABLE argument. Best handled as a blgo post and/or having the program on archive.org, not as an article for each year's festival power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:15, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep she is quite notable in Indonesia as the main spokesperson for the PSI. She is fulfills general notability in my opinion Germartin1 (talk) 01:23, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Notability is not conferred just by saying that the person "fulfills general notability" — it is passed by showing the reliable source coverage about her that gets her over the bar: notability isn't a measure of what the article (or somebody commenting in an AFD discussion) says, it's a measure of the quality of the sources that are being shown to support what the article says. But being a political party apparatchik is not an "inherently" notable role that guarantees inclusion, and the footnotes here aren't getting her over WP:GNG: the first just briefly namechecks her existence in the process of being primarily about other people, the second is just her routine wedding announcement, and the third is just a photo gallery of her on what's clearly the Indonesian equivalent to Buzzfeed. This is not the kind of sourcing it takes to make a person notable for serving on the organizational board of a political party. Bearcat (talk) 19:00, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Chair of the party" still isn't an "inherently" notable role that guarantees inclusion in Wikipedia. And when it comes to sources, we're not just looking for any article that happens to have her name in it — we're looking for sources that are substantively analyzing her work, not sources that glancingly namecheck her existence in the process of being about something or someone else.

  • Comment Hi Bearcat, I didn't suggest being chair of a party is notable per se (although it does contribute to notability), rather I was commenting on the fact that you had labelled her incorrectly (and dismissively) as an apparatchik; if you are wedded to cold war terminology, she would more acurately considered part of the nomenklatura...although the PSI is far from a ruling-party. AFAICS your comment doesn't engage with the sources I provided.

"Apparatchik", as an English word, does not retain its original Russian meaning of referring only to a junior bureaucrat, but refers to anybody whose activity in politics is as a backroom organizer rather than a public elected legislator: per Oxford, "an official in a large political organization". Bearcat (talk) 23:07, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Apparatchik: The term is often considered derogatory, with negative connotations in terms of the quality, competence, and attitude of a person thus described... but we digress. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 23:10, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep. Guess what, Berlin had a post office. Searching newspapers.com yields trivial coverage: [17], which states there was a townsite there and [18], which states that one of the heirs lived at Berlin, Colusa County, [19] states that someone could sew sacks. GBooks yield Gudde, which I added to the article. Most of the other GBook references are to the station, which means that WP:STATION cold be in play here. Others differ as to whether the a post office is a legal recognition, I feel that it is, which meets #1 of WP:GEOLAND. The coverage seems fairly trivial, though there is one short newspaper article about the name change. I don't feel that #2 of WP:GEOLAND is met. Cxbrx (talk) 05:37, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable computer programmer. Article was tagged for notability in July 2017 but has not improved in 3.5 years. It has actually shrunk in length over that time. Most of the links referenced by the article pertain to technical contributions the person made around 2012-2014, and there is no indication of subsequent activity or professional growth. A web search indicates some disagreements between him and some senior Linux kernel developers in 2014/15, really only covered by Linux gossip sites and internet forums. No news after that. The person's entire claim to notability seems to be "I contributed some code changes to Linux components and Linus Torvalds got annoyed with me" which is not sufficient motivation for an encyclopedia article. Article was prodded and de-prodded in the past, hence this AfD nomination. I have no authorship or connection with the article or the person. Quack5quack (talk) 22:05, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: In addition to the other stuff, systemd is a pretty darn notable piece of software, with significant use across large numbers of Linux distros, the development of which was a significant task and remains quite notorious (I have heard a lot of arguments against it, but to say a co-creator of it is non-notable seems incorrect). jp×g 13:04, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The notability of systemd is not under question. The notability of the Kay Sievers article is, because it was tagged in 2017, has not improved, and is unlikely to improve: there doesn't seem to be any substantive material worth including from a web search about him. If your rationale is to include him as a systemd co-author, consider replacing the Kay Sievers article with a redirect to systemd. -- Quack5quack (talk) 19:45, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete: Honestly, the subjects references show no notability. Most of them are far from reliable sources, not independent and one of them is even self-published. The subject does not pass WP:ANYBIO and does not really pass WP:GNG either, as I can't find any sources on him and he himself has not gained any awards or significance. I understand that he has created significant device managers and interfaces, but unfortunately according to Wikipedias notability guidelines, he does not qualify for his own article, as a subject has to be notable for themselves and not something else.

A general question to the community. When someone selects the categories "Cemeteries in Colorado" and "Roman Catholic cemeteries in the United States", are they to assume that these lists are comprehensive? If this is not a reasonable assumption, then should those categories be modified to state "Notable Cemeteries in Colorado" and "Notable Roman Catholic cemeteries in the United States". Just curious. Thank you for your feedback. Jeffrey.Wilson.OSF (talk) 14:08, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jeffrey.Wilson.OSF - it depends on the list. There are certain lists which not limiting it to notable entries would make it impossible, e.g. List of people from Phoenix. However, when a list can be contained to a reasonable degree, then it does not have to be limited to only notable entries. Categories, however, are only given to notable entrants, so no, those are not comprehensive, and since they are not lists, changing the title is irrelevant.Onel5969 TT me 18:20, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- The vast majority of local churches are NN. The same should apply to cemeteries. In answer to Jeffrey Wilson, any one who regularly uses WP will know that only notable subjects have articles. Only articles are categorised. Accordingly, it is implicit in the category system that only notable cemeteries will appear. Mere existence is not enough to have a WP article.

The only references in the article a dead primary source and a link to a map that doesn't seem to be related to the company. I couldn't find anything about them, in-depth or otherwise, in a WP:BEFORE either. So, this article fails both WP:GNG and WP:NORG. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:27, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamant1: The map link was there to show the real location of the address because the United States Postal Service "city name" may not necessarily be related to the municipality where a place actually is. This page from the City of Houston states: "Would annexation change our mailing addresses? No. The U.S. Postal Service establishes ZIP codes and mailing addresses in order to maximize the efficiency of their system, not to recognize jurisdictional boundaries. Accordingly, a change in jurisdiction does not result in a change in mailing addresses." It goes on to give examples of places physically in one city having a mailing address indicating a different city. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:09, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Micheal O'Brien (Canadian politician) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:BLP of a politician and journalist, not properly sourced as having any credible claim to passing our notability standards for politicians or journalists. When I first found this 20 minutes ago, its introduction claimed that the subject has been a Canadian MP -- however, this is not verified by Parliament's own website, which does not list a Michael O'Brien as ever having served in the House of Commons. What is true is that he ran as a candidate in 1988, and was initially declared the winner in his district, but then was found to have lost to Maurizio Bevilacqua on a recount, following which the whole thing got so tied up in legal wrangling over continued recounts and controverted dual swearing-in attempts that Parliament decided to just completely void the whole thing and schedule a new by-election, which O'Brien much more unequivocally lost to Bevilacqua — but as far as Parliament's website is concerned, Bevilacqua is listed as the MP duly elected on November 21, 1988 (the original election day), and O'Brien is not listed as ever having been an MP at all.
So no matter what the legal complexities of the situation may have been, we can't deem O'Brien as passing WP:NPOL #1 just because of an election dispute, if Parliament itself doesn't list him as a past member at all — simply being involved in a legal battle to be declared the true winner of the seat is not the same thing as actually serving, and thus not a notability claim that passes NPOL. The place for content about the dispute is in Bevilacqua's article and/or York North, not in a badly referenced standalone BLP of O'Brien as an individual.
But nothing else in the article constitutes a claim that he's notable for any other reason besides a disputed election snafu -- the election dispute itself is minimally referenced to a tiny smattering of media coverage that isn't enough to get him over WP:GNG, while everything else is referenced to primary sources, directory entries and photographs that are not support for notability at all. There's also a probable conflict of interest here, as O'Brien has been directly associated with an organization that has been the article creator's exclusive topic of concern for at least three years.

Are you claiming an Editor is not a journalist? [1] [2]

Quite aside from the fact that I said no such thing, "editor" simply is not an "inherently" notable role that constitutes an automatic free pass into Wikipedia either, especially if your sources for his editorship of anything are his own self-published directory listings of his own content on directly affiliated websites (such as his own personal website or the websites of his own employers) instead of third-party writing about his editorship of anything in third-party sources independent of his career. Being notable as an editor doesn't automatically happen just because it's possible to offer technical verification that he's been an editor — it requires other people to establish the significance of his editorship by externally analyzing the importance of that work. Bearcat (talk) 19:07, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Gazette from Montreal, Quebec, Canada newspage Dec 10, 1990 — Voters in Beausejour and the Toronto area riding of York North cast their ... "Tory Michael O'Brien was declared the election-night winner by 58 votes" ... He went to Ottawa where he sat as a member of Parliament for 55 days".
This is not a partisan political item but the second significant Controverted Election in Canadian History, (O’Brien v. Hamel (1990), 73 O.R. (2d) 87; Nielsen v. Simmons (1957), 14 D.L.R. (2d) 446; ) the first being Erik Nielsen in the 1950s. It is in the Canada Gazette as noted here and for sure a significant piece of Canadian History. For one thing, I saw Mr. O'Brien deliver his Maiden speech in the House of Commons so I know he was sworn in. According to Robert Marleau (Clerk of the House of Commons at the time) and Camille Montpetit Mr. O'Brien in November 1988 "was declared the winner by 99 votes, was sworn in, and participated in the Canada-U.S. free-trade agreement debate in the short-lived First Session of the Thirty-Fourth Parliament".

Controverted elections are not notability claims, and no notability claim that he could make ever justifies the garbage sourcing you used here. If he isn't listed by Parliament's website now as ever having been an MP, but rather Bevilacqua is listed as having been the original MP as of election day 1988 regardless of any legal wrangling that may have existed at the time as to who was or wasn't the rightful winner, then claims and counterclaims about the dispute don't make a person "inherently" notable in and of themselves in the absence of much better sources than you used. Erik Nielsen isn't notable because the Yukon seat in 1957 was controverted; he's notable because he won the redo election and stayed an MP for another 30 years. If he had lost the redo and never run again, and thus couldn't claim to have any other notability claim besides "challenger in a disputed election", then he would not have an article on that basis at all.

OK I have found the Hansard record of O'Brien's Maiden speech in the House of Commons. [1]


https://parl.canadiana.ca/view/oop.debates_HOC3401_01/800?r=0&s=1

It doesn't matter whether there's a Hansard record or not. It matters whether he's considered now to have ever been the rightful MP — which, as I've demonstrated, he isn't, as Maurizio Bevilacqua is deemed by Parliament's website to have been the MP for York Centre all the way back to election day 1988. Hansard is a primary source, not a notability-making or independent reliable source: notability does not come from the things a person did, it comes from the amount of media coverage they did or didn't get for doing the things they did.

  • Delete standalone article but merge the information about the election somewhere if it's not already on the site. Poses an interesting question - do you pass WP:NPOL if you were sworn in, but your swearing in was voided? Personally, I don't think Mr. O'Brien is notable. I did find a bit of news coverage, but it was sort of noted more as a curiosity than front-page news because of a back and forth recount, similar to [23]. I think the event itself is notable and should be covered somewhere, but I don't think that makes him notable, and he doesn't look notable for any other reason. (If it's already on the site, great.)

  • Keep The page is notable and must not be deleted. The references are not garbage they are my country's House of Commons of Canada and Supreme Court etc. You say you canot find news coverage but over thirty years ago, there was no such internet News publishing and you would need to go to a Library and search microfiche and there you will find tons of material. Wikipedia is better served by carrying stories of notable events and in my country this is a notable event proving that DEMOCRACY WORKS.

[2], who was at the centre of an election dispute in 1988 but nevertheless was sworn into office as elected [3] and made his Maiden Speech in the House of Commons of Canada on 23 December 1988. [4][5][6][7]


  • Thank you. I have looked over the years and never noticed any significant numbers of analogue records. Mos papers make that clear. But in the libraries there are tons on this subject. I have found some more but I do not know how to 'Wikipedia' those. I will figure it out.
  • Meanwhile I wrote this piece in the context of current democratic events in Canada and the USA. Further, I knew of Nielsen's contested election because I read his book, "The House is Not A Home". And I also knew of O'Brien's York North Fiasco. We did a case study in school. It is used as a significant precedent of HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS. These two men did this tedious work to correct elections where every vote makes a difference with painstaking efforts regardless that it be or not be to their benefit. Neither could gain---they only would get a null election and a by-election.
  • As we are bombarded daily in Canada from the United States with all sorts of threats to disenfranchise millions of voters, I thought this would be relevant as an historical marker for how things are done with civility and democratic values.
  • Today, this is important and it is indeed encyclopedic. The University of Toronto team that has chronicalized Canadian Hansard noted "The transcript of Parliamentary Debates (“Hansard”) is a 150-year running record of Canadian political history. The richness of this record presents a needle-in-a-haystack problem of enormous magnitude. At a rate of a novel’s worth of reading each day, it would take 66 years to read the transcripts of the House and the Senate. It would take a further 28 years to read what was added in the interim."

  • Yes, but it does not make O'Brien notable. We have rules for notability here, and what you have done is written about an event, which does deserve to be in the encyclopaedia, but you have written the event around a specific person instead of writing it about the event. As Bearcat notes, the information would be better served either at Bevilacqua's article, at the article about the constituency, or, possibly, a standalone article named 1988 York North constituency election (or something similar.) It does not mean O'Brien is notable enough for his own article, which is why I !voted "merge" above. SportingFlyer T·C 23:38, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you.

O'Brien is notable because it is O'Brien who did this work in 'O'Brien vs Hamel' the latter being the Canadian Chief Returning Officer who ran the election (terribly in the case of York North. There were multiple outcomes from the RO in fact every time they recounted they had a different result to the point where it was impossible to unequivocally determine the intentions of the electorate.). I talked to one of the lawyers working for counsel Ronald Rolls on the matter and she said they had rooms full of volunteers working on the Petition to the Supreme Court, with O'Brien and staff, for 8 months.

  • I do not degrade the rules of notability. I initially responded to the complainant who basically said I wrote a bunch of lies. He said O'Brien was never sworn in, never an MP, etc. That is simply untrue and I am not a liar. I was jumped with this 'deletion' in the midst of working on the article. It probably should have been sandboxed first. My bad. But the cites are all there and an abundance of proof which is how this deletion request was called. So you are on a different track than the deletion request to which I responded.
  • As far as proving notability is concerned, this is not about the internet's digital data it is about actual newspaper clippings on Microfiche. They do not exist online. I repeat, any claim that this has been researched to a negative outcome disproving notability by other than me thus far is patently disingenuous because the data relates to an era 'before such records were digitalized around the time of Windows 95 and Windows 98'. The amount of work involved in digitizing data before 1990 is colossal. Read back to the quote from University of Toronto Professors. In two parts I made it clear that I need to spend time in a physical library and go through the microfiche if my concept oof notability is not accepted. The work involved in changing the statutes is done by O'Brien and 'owned by O'Brien' which I deem is self-evident. But the scholarly articles on such are in old newspaper clippings. I need Librarian assistance to get what I find digitalized. I would need the time to do that and that is awkward because of the pandemic and the major libraries being on lockdown or limited hours. Again my point is that the case of Nielsen (1957), which availed the 'Controverted Election Act', introduced the importance of the Act's intentions, but 'OBrien vs Hamel' opened the door to an amended 'Federal Elections Act' which included an enhanced variant of 'Controverted Election Act' to raise the importance in anticipation of many future events (which there have been) and which all cite 'O'Brien' and 'Nielsen'. That being said, I further adduce that O'Brien changed the course of history for Canada. He is the precedent for the changing of the Act. His work and accomplishment made the electoral process better and shone a light on how to deal with such matters in a civil and structured manner. This is very important. Please skip the politics. This is not about Bevilaqua or Liberals vs Conservatives or whatever. It is about how to deal with divisiveness in politics when it emerges in democratic elections. In the alternative, democracy fails in the darkness, with malfeasance. I submit that two articles are needed, not merging

  • I disagree - there's a number of newspapers from the time online which all show coverage of the event but not necessarily of O'Brien, and O'Brien was never an MP - his term was voided, as was made clear by a newspaper contemporaneous with the event (someone died before taking office, so his family got six months' pay, but O'Brien got cut off.) The vast majority of the sources in the article are primary and sourced to the legislature as well - they do not show his notability, which requires secondary sources. Again, the best thing to do here is to cover the event, which clearly passes WP:GNG, and not the person, who does not, especially apart from his coverage in the event. SportingFlyer T·C 09:38, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "O'Brien was Never an MP" Not that that is the point but there is no such process for voiding a sworn in MP's term in office. You adduce facts because you say they are facts. And by the way, you are probably searching the wrong name. Regardless of what you type, Google will change Micheal (Gaelic) to Michael (Hebrew). Look carefully and select the correct spelling. The correct spelling is Irish version and there is a huge difference. "There are more M O'Brien on the planet than any other clan" is what one librarian told me. https://parl.canadiana.ca/view/oop.debates_HOC3401_01/870?r=0&s=1 << Official records (Constituencies Served in the House of Commons) record both O'Brien and Bevilaqua having served as MPs in the 34th Parliament, unequivocally. You have no proof of argument. Or in the alternative maybe you have not even read the article? Or in another alternative maybe you read the article before it was completed? ANd it is pointless searching newspaper databases online for stories prior to 1995. That research has to be done on microfiche to be thorough. You argue sideways like a crab claiming facts to be such on your say so and then resort to antagonism when you feel as if you have lost your way. I was taking this seriously. I have provided substantial data in support of my arguments. You ridicule me. Regardless of your ridicule I disagree with burying this article. And I want the time to visit a library and get the microfiche's I want digitalized. I am surprised at your emotionalism. It reminds me of a passionate admin about five years ago screaming at me that X-Japan did not influence Luna Sea as if their life depended on their being correct. That was subjective. But this is historical fact. The anchor is the person who did the work despite it having no benefit to him, just a matter of serving the electorate in determining an unequivocal result.. In the Work that I have done already in the Library I have an article by Peter Murphy for CTV network who goes into great detail on the importance of this work. Anyway. I must go. Peace.

As I've already pointed out several times: either find him in Parliament's self-published directory of its own members — which you won't, because he isn't there — or you've got nothing. You say there's no process for voiding a sworn-in member's term in office? Well, obviously there is, because he isn't in Parliament's directory of its own members.

  • Keep [Revote struck] O'Brien is notable because it is O'Brien who did this work in 'O'Brien vs Hamel' which was a huge undertaking with the only possible outcome being an unequivocal determination of the voters' intention. At no point in history has a candidate been sworn in, sat through an entire session of a Parliament and then replaced in office by a recount. The HoC Records show that two members for the same riding were sworn in and sat in the 34th parliament. https://parl.canadiana.ca/view/oop.debates_HOC3401_01/916?r=0&s=1 This is not a parochial issue as has happened in this talk page. O'Brien according to public records is a Liberal today in a Toronto Riding. He ran as a Conservative in York North because that was the deal he made with Tony Roman according to Richmond Hill Liberal.

  • Keep the historical record seems clear that he was sworn in to the Canadian House of Commons and participated in that body before his election was declared void. We don't "give" notability for winning elections, we "give" it for being a member of a parliament. The article isn't great, but that's not a reason for deletion. I understand (but disagree with) the argument to merge this to an article about the event of the disputed election and/or the by-election, but I'm not sure those articles exist; I don't understand the reason for deleting it entirely. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:56, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

I wasn't able to find where this documentary received the coverage necessary to pass WP:NFILM. It looks like there's a subsection in Parker's article about this and a redirect would be a reasonable alternative. On a side note, there seems to be a major issue with a conflict of interest, as here the article creator uses language that strongly implies that they work for Heritage Film Project.

Being mayor of a city such as Newport News is not a default sign of notability. One obituary is not enough to justify an article, especially when it is mainly a coatrack about someone else.

  • Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this. Newport News is certainly a large enough city that a well-sourced article about a mayor could be kept, but it's not so large or important that the need to keep articles about its mayors would override the need for the articles to contain any substance. The notability test for mayors is not just the fact that one source can be shown to verify that he existed as a mayor — it is the ability to write and reliably source a substantive article about his political significance, containing information about specific things he did in the mayor's chair, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. If somebody wants to tackle actually improving the article to meet the required standard, I'm not opposed to that — but without any access to archived Virginia media coverage from the 1970s I'm not the guy who can do it, and just having been mayor doesn't entitle him to an instant notability freebie in the absence of anybody actually doing it.

Just asserting that unspecified sources probably exist doesn't make a person notable in and of itself. We don't have a rule that our sources necessarily have to be online; we do, however, have a rule that regardless of whether the sources are web-published or retrieved from print archives, they do have to be shown. So just asserting that unspecified sources probably exist doesn't get him over the bar — what would change the equation is buckling down and doing the work to find enough sources to get him over the bar. If just saying that sources probably exist somewhere were all it took to save an article, then even outright hoaxes wouldn't be deletable anymore, because then any rando could just walk into any deletion discussion, say that sources probably exist somewhere and drop the mic — so it's showing the actual results of a search for sourcing, not just asserting the probable existence of sources, that turns the tide.

The standard the community has developed for mayors (of mid sized and larger cities) is a desire to show the subject did more than exist. There should be enough to develop a more complete biography that (ideally) can include some details about the subject's life as well as their accomplishments as mayor. The obituary (certainly one source, but published 34 years after the subject's death, contains many of the elements that we would want in a Wikipedia entry. Searching for "J.W." or "Bill" pulls up numerous newspaper.com images that appear to feature the subject (and I do not have an account, so I can't read the thumbnail).  --Enos733 (talk) 21:13, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, the standard is that we want mayors of small localities to be notable above and beyond the fact they were just mayor of a small locality, not that we can write a full biography of them. SportingFlyer T·C 18:19, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As Bearcat wrote in Denis Law the question is "how much actual substance they enable us to say about the person beyond just technical verification that he holds the mayoralty," or "the ultimate test is whether the sources support enough substance about the mayor to make the article worth bothering to read." This has become the standard for mayors of mid-sized and larger cities. --Enos733 (talk) 01:55, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We don't care about the ability to source biographical detail in the sense of where he went to high school or the name of his wife — it's a question of being able to source substantive content about his mayoralty, such as specific things he did in the mayor's chair and specific effects he had on the development of the city and specific projects he spearheaded. So I'll thank you not to quote me as some sort of contradiction or retort to what SportingFlyer said, because what SportingFlyer said and what I said mean the same thing. Bearcat (talk) 17:07, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I do think there is a qualitative difference between your comments and SportingFlyer's. I take what you argue for is that we want a substantive article about what the mayor did (or is achieving) while in office. I read SportingFlyer's comment above as more akin to the community's standard about most city council members - that a mayor (of a mid-sized city) should be notable independent of the fact that they serve as mayor (either because of another factor or because of significant coverage in national or international press (or at least more than purely local independent coverage). To me, the two proposed standards lead to two different results especially the types of sourcing that is expected to show notability. (This all said, the question in this AFD is to what degree we expect coverage of the subject in the Daily Press [and is not online] during the period of the subject's mayoralty is likely to provide substantive content about the things the subject did while as mayor - to reinforce the claims made in the obituary. I think the presumption of coverage should be made, even if we cannot access that at this moment.) --Enos733 (talk) 17:37, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The artist is notable and has made it to Top 2 in iTunes in France, with 4 songs released in a 5-month span all with professional music videos accompanied from a 2020 album 36000 Années Lumière all originals. The music videos have made a total of 26 million views only on YouTube ("Zayn" (7m), "Pardonne-moi" (12m), "Aya" (4m) and "Mi Reina" (3m)). There are similar numbers in other social media. The artist also has a previous album from 2018 entitled Ünga Vida proving longevity and the artist has been around prior to that as well. If one of the sources is similar to another source, it doesn't mean it is a PR job. The journalist himself works in more than one media outlet. The articles mentioned are based on interviews given to the outlets and of course would have similar stories as they are done in a limited span of time and were timed for the promotion for the imminent launch of the album in October 2020. But the similarities don't mean mean they are written by an assigned SEO. Information usually gets repeated in multiple sources even in reputable sources. The article is about an artist that is notable and I nominate it to stay. werldwayd (talk) 16:39, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But the similarities don't mean mean they are written by an assigned SEO. Information usually gets repeated in multiple sources even in reputable sources. Did you read the sources? Because three of the 4 that aren't itunes are written by the same person ([24][25][26]) Sergio Centeno is a PR Expert that helps brands establish credibility and create brand awareness. He specializes in helping brands get recognized by prestigious publications and featured on major news outlets and the last is just a copy of the other three which are all paid for pieces.

  • Comment I de-prodded this since Simon Fraser includes this information, see [27], but I haven't yet found it for 2015. I figured it'd be good to give it a week to see if it can be sourced and probably merged into the proper election article. This is information we carry all the time for countries like Australia and the UK, but I'm now realising "marginal seats" may be geographical (was surprised at the "lack of definition" because it's absolutely obvious to me) as it looks like this is called "target ridings" in Canada. No !vote yet since I haven't exhausted a source search. SportingFlyer T·C 15:52, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • It could be merged somewhere if it can be sourced.

No indication that the subject is notable. There seem to be two possible subjects here (the person, and the song in which the person/character is mentioned). The titular subject (the person) doesn't seem to meet WP:ANYBIO. In that, the sources do not even confirm that the subject (the person) existed. Not to mind that the person has/had any notability. The body even implies that the subject may be fictional, and may not have existed at all. And, if he did, he wasn't the person named in the title. A Google web search on the person name returns all of 40 results. Effectively all of which are mirrors of this page. A Google Books search also returns nothing. The other secondary subject, the folksong in which the person is mentioned, may be covered in the only reference here, but I cannot find it in any other sources.

the Subject of the article does not meet any criteria mentions in WP:ANYBIO, WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:ARTIST, or WP:MUSIC. As an actor, she had one time appearances in several TV series, two appearances in the past 10 years. Three appearances in non-notable movies in the past 10 years, befoare that your appearances a "uncredited". s a musician she surely does not meet any criteria for a wiki article. The original creator of the article also contributed her only image to wiki as his own work. Sources are poor, one of them her own page, another one is her resume as an actor. A google search return this article, her IMDB page and social media presence. Thank you, Kolma8 (talk) 08:46, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – Although not plentiful, other notable mentions in sources do exist. The potential might be there, but I'm not sure there is enough to say it is notable and worthy of getting a dedicated article yet. Uniswap is only 2 years old after all. Here are the examples I've found in a quick search: [2] [3] [4] HiddenLemon // talk 05:59, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. In the world of ERC-20 tokens, where half the tokens claim the same applications, I think it would be more encyclopedic for Wikipedia to attempt to cover the individual features instead of covering every single token as if it was a separate company.

    In this case, the defining feature seems to be that Uniswap is is built on "liquidity pools", but we don't have any in-depth coverage of what that even is.

    There is an incentive for each token to prop up itself as the one true solution, and media is apparently not discerning enough to cover the background, instead they do churnalism, re-reporting company-sourced metadata like how this-and-such token was the first to achieve 50k users, or how it was the first to apply for SEC regulation 1.8.42 (not actually a real regulation, just making an argument here).

    Uniswap could mentioned in a sentence on an article on "liquidity pools". If we can't find sufficient coverage for "liquidity pools", I'd prefer Wikipedia did not cover the token at all. Since I think our less-popular cryptocurrency articles are overwhelmingly sourced with churnalist metadata instead of documenting the actual innovations.
    On our page for the steam engine, do we redirect the reader to 50 articles, each sourcing press-releases from 50 different companies on how their steam engine will revolutionize transportation? No. Of course mechanical engineering is not hype-driven to the same degree that cryptocurrency is. But it isn't acceptable for Wikipedia to fall victim to such trends. --Ysangkok (talk) 18:33, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Ysangkok:Generally agree, although the subject of the article isn’t the Uniswap token, rather the protocol and application as the UNI token is recent and not an inherently requisite part of the Uniswap DEX. In terms of significance the standalone article has merit but there doesn’t seem to be enough notable RS out there. Perhaps merging to another relevant article as a short snippet may make sense though? HiddenLemon // talk 19:51, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Ysangkok:This article is about the decentralized exchange. Uniswap does have an ERC-20 token but that is not what makes it notable nor is the reason for the article. HocusPocus00 (talk) 07:01, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Decentralized exchange per Ysangkok's comment. I think just this one sentence from the intro would be a relevant bit of information at the end of the Overview section there:

    Uniswap is estimated to be the largest decentralized exchange and the fourth-biggest cryptocurrency exchange overall by daily trading volume, according to Bloomberg News.

    Short and sweet, doesn't add any undue weight in target article given current state of notable RS on Uniswap and size of target article. HiddenLemon // talk 04:31, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If it stays "the largest decentralized exchange" it may get more coverage then get its own article. Coin (talk) 20:51, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The MPRA paper is not peer reviewed. See WP:Articles for deletion/Canegrati's formulae where MPRA was not good enough.
ZDNet coverage about an attack.
And this Bloomberg article.
The best source is Bloomberg. ZDNet is lesser coverage. And the rest is not good enough (mentions and MPRA paper). Coin (talk) 05:18, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can you point to the Wiki policy where the subject of the article must be the main topic of the RS and a RS mentioning the subject is not good enough to be cited in a Wiki article? Are you saying these are WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS? If so, I disagree. Each cite goes into Uniswap in detail, even if the main focus of the RS's are about broader topics. HocusPocus00 (talk) 15:50, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
These two are clearly trivial mentions [33] "ParaFi began investing in DeFi in 2018, and its investments include apps like Compound, Aave and Uniswap." [34] "SushiSwap is a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) project created by Chef Nomi based on a UniSwap decentralized exchange (DEX) fork for bootstrapping liquidity."
[35] Just one sentence.
[36] This is like two sentences about Uniswap. Coin (talk) 20:33, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Forbes article talks about a VC who invested in Uniswap and talks about how it works. It's not WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS. The second article elaborates on how Uniswap's code can be forked (which was a pretty big deal when it happened). The latter Bloomberg source's name is literally "Crypto Exchange Gets Millions After Copy-Paste of a Rival’s Code". The "rival" they are referencing is Uniswap. I don't see anything wrong with using either of these RS's for the information they provided. HocusPocus00 (talk) 21:44, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For establishing notability, in-depth coverage is expected. After that, simple fact-checking citations do not necessarily need to be non-trivial. But this is just a discussion on the notability of Uniswap, see WP:ORGDEPTH for guidelines specifically applicable to Uniswap.

That said, context does make a difference and the only source assessments by Coin that I would disagree with are on the sources regarding SushiSwap. Because SushiSwap is virtually the same thing as Uniswap (and the first and only major instance of a rebranded Uniswap clone), an in-depth discussion on SushiSwap would be literally impossible without focusing directly on the details of Uniswap itself.

The Bloomberg article on SushiSwap, for example delves into how and why it was possible for Uniswap to be copy/pasted and how the event was a sorta wake-up call for DeFi. It would be like saying an in-depth article about Bitcoin Cash doesn't display the notability of Bitcoin. But the rest of the sources mentioned do seem trivial though. HiddenLemon // talk 00:53, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or merge to Decentralized finance. DeFi without Uniswap is almost like Hamlet without the Prince. You could argue for a merge into DeFi. But the largest DEX in the world should be notable on its own. There's also this journal article:
(Only on Wikipedia can you have unchallenged permastubs on tiny villages nobody has ever heard of. But when you're the biggest entity in a certain category, there's all sorts of pedantic nitpicking as to whether you're truly notable.) Spellcast (talk) 10:05, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Spellcast: One of the contributors to that article is Charlie Noyes from Paradigm, Inc. which invested in Uniswap. Three other contributors are from Gauntlet Networks, which Paradigm invested in.[37] Coin (talk) 19:01, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Here are some additional RS's referencing Uniswap. Some of them are just mentions, and the last one talks about it in some detail. I don't think these all need to go in the main article but it seems evident that Uniswap is notable (Forbes has referenced them already twice this month). HocusPocus00 (talk) 19:33, 14 December 2020 (UTC) [1][2][3][reply]
  • Keep. The Forbes sources are both from staff writers. The Bloomberg sources are good. There's independent coverage. Article really ought to be subject to a rewrite, but this does not make it non-notable. jp×g 01:35, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is very promotional and would need a big rewrite, but also the only claims this has to notability are ephemeral.

Huh? There's an entire Bloomberg article devoted to Uniswap, along with several other Bloomberg, Forbes and ZDNet articles that talk about it. Also, what in your opinion comes off as promotional?

This article shows no clear pass of the actor notability criteria, it is unclear any of his roles were significant. beyond this the article has zero reliable sources, IMDb is not a reliable source and we are not supposed to have biographies of living people without reliable sources. The article has been tagged with a notice of this problem for 9 years. The article has existed for 10 years. It is high time Wikipedia stopped being an IMDb mirror.

  • Delete: Even though he does have some moderate sized parts in a few films, this article cites zero references and I can't find any myself. Honestly, if there was significant coverage I would have a possibly opposite opinion, but there is really nothing of him on the internet, therefore failing both WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV.

  • Comment -Bryantbob (talk) 19:53, 16 December 2020 (UTC) Is the entire article viewed to be in violation or just some sections or paragraphs? Can the offending sections or paragraphs be discussed in the article’s Talk page to resolve issues rather than deleting the entire article? The introduction is a brief summary, based upon secondary sources authored by respected historians, about naval warfare in general and specifically about how battles on the oceans affected the outcome of World War II. I added some text to the beginning of this section to clarify that the assessments made are by such experts, not by me. This section might be compared to Wikipedia articles about “Causes of World War II” or “Armored warfare.” The sections on carrier aircraft compare the features and performance of naval aircraft used extensively during World War II. The comparisons are based upon secondary sources, which are cited. These sections might be compared to the Wikipedia articles about tanks such as “Tank”, “Tanks in World War II,” or “Comparison of early World War II tanks.” The sections about pilots include partial biographies of noteworthy people with emphasis on their wartime contributions as aircraft carrier aircrew. The biographies of two of these people are already included in other Wikipedia articles but not in the detailed context of World War II aircraft carrier operations, which is the focus of this article. These sections might be compared to the Wikipedia article about “Michael Whittman,” a World War II panzer ace.[reply]
  • Delete. Part of this could be salvaged as List of World War II carrier aircraft or as a section in List of aircraft of World War II, but overall it's just in too poor shape to fix. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:27, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I removed or revised content that might be viewed as my personal opinions rather than those of the historians cited as sources and removed or revised content that may appear to be more like story-telling rather than history. I believe the article is now in compliance and an integral part of a larger article about aircraft carrier operations during World War II that was broken up into several parts because of the length of the subject matter.Bryantbob (talk) 21:54, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You should copy the content regarding Kondo and Laurie to their relevant pages. IMO this page will be deleted. Mztourist (talk) 06:05, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Stan Laurie is utterly unnotable. The only sourcing for him is his own, privately published book. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:17, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. But the intent of including the experiences of him and the other pilots with the series of articles on aircraft carrier operations was to show the variety of aircraft types, combat assignments, and geographic locations involved for the carriers and their squadrons. Laurie and Kondo served throughout the war and their experiences encompassed many of the important operations in which carriers and their squadrons participated.Bryantbob (talk) 04:33, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

With 91 references and two failed AfDs, this article doesn't seem to be a strong candidate for deletion. But a closer inspection of the content of article and references reveals that it is just a WP:BLP1E pluff piece. The person came to prominence with the 2009 U.S. state dinner security breaches incident and most of the coverage relates to that. Some other references relate to routine coverage of lawsuits and appearances in some reality shows. There is nothing of substance to suggest that this person meets the notability criteria for people (WP:NBIO). Regards, TryKid[dubiousdiscuss] 03:13, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - the references are indeed insignificant coverage but the office he holds is influential and passes WP:NPOL in my opinion. Comparing with other notable offices: secretaries to the government are two levels above city mayors in the official order of precedence in Bangladesh. --Zayeem (talk) 18:34, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • In other governments, the consensus has been that the of a department -- in this case, it would be Minister-- is notable, but not those one step under. DGG ( talk ) 04:36, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - The five "news" articles were all published on the occasion of his promotion to secretary, and are based on a press release from the Information Ministry. The footnotes to WP:N tell us that, "It is common for multiple newspapers ... to publish the same story, sometimes with minor alterations or different headlines, but one story does not constitute multiple works." The five amount to one source, and not an independent one. The sixth source is the same official biography, this time hosted on the Ministry of Information's website (his employer, so not independent). There is zero independent coverage of this civil servant in reliable, secondary sources. Wikipedia is not an extension of the Government of Bangladesh's web portal, and our notability guidelines do not reflect any official order of precedence. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:06, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, so just to clarify, heads of federal govt depts are not presumed wikinotable? Coolabahapple (talk) 11:54, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Federal" suggests you have a particular country in mind, perhaps Australia, the US, or Canada. I can't speak to them, but do specialize in Bangladesh, which doesn't have a federal system. We're not dealing with the minister, commonly an MP and a member of the cabinet. Nor with their second in command, the state minister, also usually an MP. The office in question is secretary, number three at the ministry, filled by a civil servant, not a politician, so WP:POL does not apply. The nutshell explanation of notability (people) is, "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." Although the press in Bangladesh is nominally free, when the Ministry of Information distributes a press release, newspapers publish it. The subject has received zero coverage in arms length sources, so Wikipedia should not have a stand alone article about them. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:21, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Minimally sourced biography of a person, which literally just states that he existed, the end. It says absolutely nothing of substance about his career to determine whether he would have a credible notability claim under our inclusion standards for either journalists or activists at all -- and for sourcing, all it contains is two different news articles announcing his death, which is not enough coverage to get him over the "notable just because media coverage exists" bar in lieu of having to provide any substantive reasons why he might be notable.

  • Keep Concerning the Amiga version, there is a short 1/2 page article in Amiga Format 113 (August 1998, pp. 47-48) and 1 1/2 page review in Total Amiga 15 (Summer 2003, pp, 39-40) - though I´m not sure about RS status of the later one. There is also a 1 page review of the AmiCygnix version in the Amiga Future 98 (September/October 2012, p. 23) and some short news on amiga-news.de.

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so there’s no point in having an article that consists solely of a word’s definition and etymology. Dronebogus (talk) 14:21, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I've had a look at what sources there might be and concur with Þjarkur that there's basically nothing out there beyond bare dictionary definitions or the primary source. This is a neologism, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so deletion is the right option. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:04, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Approaching WP:SNOW territory, although the desirability of improvement, to the extent possible, is noted. BD2412 T 01:10, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is your / the criteria for notability? There are plenty of software products documented in Wikipedia that have limited audience. This is one of the largest enterprise backup products in use, and if you're considering deleting its page, you should consider deleting every other product on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_backup_software . As per Wikipedia guidelines, an article needing improvement is not a valid reason for deletion. IBM recently deleted a large amount of their own web structure, which impacts sourcing somewhat.

You can read about Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:List of guidelines. I will try to remove other non-notable articles in this category. Please, be aware that Wikipedia is based on Wikipedia:Reliable sources so IBM is not an independent source. If you find some independent sources, please add them to prevent deleting this article. --Jcarlosmartins (talk) 09:05, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this article seems to be not notable due to the lack of independent sources, and should be deleted. The fact that other software-related articles may also lack independent sources doesn't make this article notable.PopePompus (talk) 07:16, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or merge into other articles on IBM products, at least the history of the product is obviously of encyclopedic interest. The product's current instantiation may not be very interesting to us as an encyclopedia (although potential additional sources are mentioned above). jp×g 06:13, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep and improve. The article has several problems, for sure, but the product is 'real-life notable', that's just not currently borne out by the very weak references. A lot of work to be done, but worth trying to salvage IMO. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:33, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There are entire books written about this subject. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:42, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing about these churches are notable and reads more like a directory. Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY JayJayWhat did I do? 01:04, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
