A non notable BLP. WP:BEFORE shows no evidence of reliable sources to improve article. Was nominated for BLPPROD by another editor but this was deprodded as some sources (IMDB) were already present on the page. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 23:33, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

- User talk:Koridas I agree with you. I’ve fallen into this Wiki-bureaucracy trap before. It looks like it was declined because with a BLPPROD, there must not be any sources at all, even if it’s one as unreliable as IMDB. If you’d done a normal PROD, it would probably have been deleted by now. Personally, I think this is needlessly bureaucratic but it is the consensus of the community.

Article deleted via WP:PROD, undeleted as a contested PROD at WP:RFUD by me. But, I agree 100% this should be deleted. PROD nominator says this fails WP:LISTN. I say it also fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE as it is a summary-only description of works. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Described as a scientist, but notability by any of the points in WP:NACADEMIC is highly dubious. A single portrayal in a local radio channel does not suffice for WP:SIGCOV either. bender235 (talk) 23:06, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

- Comment to the creator of the BLP: It might be best if you go first for the low-hanging fruit i.e. those cases where notability is rock-solid so there is no need for a discussion that could cause discomfort to the subject. Also, you might consider as a courtesy asking for the consent of persons about whom you write (although this is not required by Wikipedia policy). Xxanthippe (talk) 07:03, 16 June 2020 (UTC).
- To follow up on that suggestion, if anyone reading this AfD happens to be particularly interested in creating articles about female hydrogeologists with less likelihood of pushback, then there are a number of Fellows of the Geological Society of America in the Hydrogeology Division who are presumably notable through WP:PROF#C3 but appear not to have articles: Sarah L. Lewis, Laura K. Lautz, Dorothy J. Vesper, Alicia Wilson (hydrogeologist), Gwendolyn Macpherson, Susan Swanson, Michelle M. Lorah, Maureen A. Muldoon, Martha S. Phanikumar, Margaret Eggers, Karen Johannesson, Margaret A. Townsend, Richelle M. Allen-King, Laurel B. Goodwin, Madeline E. Schreiber, Laura J. Crossey, Elizabeth J. Screaton, Anne E. Carey, Isabelle M. Cozzarelli, Eileen P. Poeter, Laura Toran, and Carol M. Wicks. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:47, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. For background on where the article comes from: it appears that there's a USA Today story about the MissingSciFaces twitter feed. The featured tweet on the story appears to be about the subject here, with the tagline "She should have a Wikipedia page!" It'd be a bit strange to be notable for not having had a Wikipedia page. I don't see evidence of WP:NPROF (34 cites for top-cited pub, trailing off quickly after that), and the other coverage consists of a blog and a local news piece. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 06:40, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep. She appears not to be an academic or research scientist at all, so judging her by WP:PROF is inappropriate. Instead, the relevant notability criterion for someone like her should be WP:GNG, which demands multiple sources that are independent of her, in-depth, and reliably published. The story by the Nature Conservancy appears to be in-depth, but non-independent because she's a trustee. On the other hand, the Scientific American and Northwest Public Broadcasting stories do seem to be in-depth and independent, giving her the minimum for notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:04, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment for clarity that the Scientific American piece is not from the main publication, but from an affiliated blog published under a pseudonym. WP:NEWSBLOG suggests it is usable as a source, but with caution. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:58, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep per David Eppstein. XOR'easter (talk) 16:50, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. The "Daughter of Hanford" award qualifies her for this category "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor". I just added many more citations to the page including another newspaper article for additional independent sources.MethanoJen (talk) 16:57, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- @MethanoJen: could you please explain what kind of award "Daughter of Hanford" is? What group of people and/or academic discipline is it limited to, if any? How long did it exist, how often is it awarded, and who won it in the past? Do any of those past awardees have Wikipedia biographies? --bender235 (talk) 16:40, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Membership on a National Academy panel and authorship of numerous National Academy reports qualifies her under "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline". Pcgr1ff1th (talk) — Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Pcgr1ff1th (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion.
- Delete MethanoJen Where the heck did you get the idea that Daughter of Hanford is an award or honor, much less that it's "well-known and significant" lololol??? The citation is about a series of profiles of women who worked on the Hanford site, not something that bestows automatic notability. Pcgr1ff1th, membership on a board is not the same as being an elected member, and merely co-authoring reports does not mean these reports had "significant impact"! Reywas92Talk 23:43, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Correction: Her status of a co-author of these reports is not clear, nor is their "significant impact"! I removed seven citations that noted her as a member of the Board an Earth Sciences but not that she actually wrote them. [1] notes over 50 people on the relevant boards publishing this report; only one of the other 14 on her board has an article. Reywas92Talk 23:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Reywas92 Your talk page states "Be Polite". Your statement above in which I was tagged is anything but polite. MethanoJen (talk) 01:58, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: I trust other editors will recognize the comment by Reywas92 as gratuitous and ad hominem. Yes, I know the difference between being a Fellow of the National Academy and serving on a board, a position that is only offered to persons of established expertise. Nat Academy reports are solicited as advisory documents and by definition are high impact: "The Board on Earth Sciences and Resources was established in 1988 to provide a focal point for activities related to Earth science policy. Through its committees, panels, and working groups, it oversees a wide range of Earth science issues, including research, the environment, natural hazards, resources, geographic science and geospatial information, and data and education. It also provides guidance on U.S. participation in international Earth science programs." Pcgr1ff1th (talk) 14:30, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- You have no idea what ad hominem means if you think that is it. I know nothing about you, and commented only on the argument, not the person making it. It was downright false to say she has "authorship of numerous National Academy reports" because she did not write these reports. Even if this hydrogeologist was writing reports on coal mine dust exposure, nothing can be "by definition" high impact, which would entail newly discovered information with content citing it and demonstrating how it affected the discipline, not just being "Proceedings of a Workshop". Reywas92Talk 18:39, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Weak keepAs per what David Eppstein said. Seems not to be an academic, but has had a bit of media coverage. Kj cheetham (talk) 08:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Kj cheetham and XOR'easter: no concerns about the Scientific American report actually being a blog post, as Russ Woodroofe pointed out? --bender235 (talk) 15:10, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- My position is that blogs that come under the imprimatur of a major magazine, as this one does, are not significantly different in reliability than regular columns in the magazine — both likely subject to sufficient editorial control. They may differ from the print-edition columns in how widely-read they are, but that's also true of columns in one magazine vs columns in a different magazine. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:52, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- I wouldn't doubt the reliability of the material either, but isn't it usually the lack of notability that leads to certain material being relegated to an affiliated blog rather than the "main" magazine/website? --bender235 (talk) 18:07, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- In this question, you appear to be using "notability" in a different sense than the sense used in Wikipedia deletion discussions, which refers to the passage of certain specific Wikipedia notability criteria. I am certain that Scientific American does not refer to Wikipedia notability criteria in determining which columns to include in its print edition and which to relegate to blogs. I am also confident that its decisions about the significance (not notability) of certain columns relative to each other is based other criteria than the significance of the individual topics covered in specific instances of those columns. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:54, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- You're right, I was using notability in the general sense of the word. Maybe I'm wrong, but blog posts seem to be "all the news that wasn't fit to print." Again, I'm not saying that makes it unreliable (where here I mean our WP:RS), just that we're stretching WP:GNG very far. --bender235 (talk) 23:56, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- Where in GNG does it say anything about taking into account tea-leaf-readings of the publication's opinion of the significance of the column in which the source article appeared? Or even direct statements of opinion of the significance of the subject herself? GNG is purely about the existence and reliability of sources, not about significance. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:53, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- True, but GNG's "reliable sources" clause refers to our WP:RS corpus of guidelines, which includes provisions on news blogs and human-interest pieces, for instance. Again, I'm not saying these sources are untrustworthy, just that we should be cautious when using them to establish notability. --bender235 (talk) 13:38, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete: This is a rather on-the-fence one. The arguments made by David Eppstein and bender235 leave me somewhere in the middle. I think David Eppstein's argument has been stronger on matter of policy, but I'm still not convinced WP:GNG is met. The Scientific American post about her is certainly part of a blog, and though I lack familiarity with this magazine's structure, I don't believe she works for the magazine itself; she only blogs there. Here is her about page on the blog. I believe this scenario falls under WP:NEWSBLOG which states
Several newspapers, magazines, and other news organizations host online columns they call blogs. These may be acceptable sources if the writers are professionals, but use them with caution because blogs may not be subject to the news organization's normal fact-checking process.
- Narrowing this down further to get a clearer guideline is more difficult. Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources_(science)#Other_sources suggests
Personal or group blogs from prominent scientists writing in their field of expertise may be usable when properly attributed. Nature Blogs, ScienceBlogs, and Discover blogs host many such experts
. - The archives for WP:V discuss the suitability of news blogs more generally, not just in the science field. A previous discussion on the issue suggested that the writer's credentials as a subject-matter expert, as evaluated under WP:SPS, may be helpful in determining how much weight to give to the source.
Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications.
- Looking into Dana Hunter, the writer of the post, it appears she is mostly a hobbyist with a passion for geology. She is not employed by Scientific American, from the looks of it, and only maintains a blog there. Combined with some more digging on her, I do not believe she classes as a subject-matter expert, for the purposes of WP:SPS. Applying the reasoning from the WP:V archives, I would thus say that the article should not receive the same amount of weight, and I would say the difference is relevant in this AfD.
- Hence, WP:GNG has not been met, in my opinion. We do not have multiple reliable, independent secondary sources to show that this individual meets the notability criteria, yet. I would like to echo the words of David Eppstein, in conclusion, by noting that there are multiple individuals in this area who are more likely to meet the relevant criteria, and I'd encourage the creator of this article (and others with interest) to consider looking into creating content for those. It's certainly an underserved area and I think this encyclopedia would certainly benefit from more articles here. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 21:31, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

The article as it stands appears to be a hybrid Wikitionary/Wikiquote page.

Neutralfor now - the current sources are two political essays that use the concept to make their point, and a bunch of quotations that use the word. That does at least show that it is a somewhat relevant concept. Still though, it does seem like no one is writing about triumphalism itself as an actual phenomenon, and instead it's only people using the concept to make a point about something else, particularly religion. I also see substantial overlap with In-group favoritism. PJvanMill (talk) 14:31, 8 June 2020 (UTC)- Weak keep - The term is not a neologism and is backed by two sources (the first two references) that are just about OK. The article isn't great as it stands: the 'analysis' section is not all that substantial and the quotes section is kind of arbitrary. — Charles Stewart (talk) 08:05, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment the best source I can find is this, but I don't think that's enough to keep on its own. Could be rewritten to be about "Cold War triumphalism", a (rejected) historiographical school[2][3][4] Otherwise I don't think this can be much expanded beyond DICTDEF + OR + random quotes. buidhe 18:32, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. This isn't "one event". She's famous for excelling in the field of beauty pageants, and she's even received significant media coverage for it. Are we going to delete 90% of articles about athletes because they are only notable for their participation in sport? Mysteryman blue 23:22, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- The community has decided that at a certain level of achievement, we can assume certain athletes are notable. The community has also decided that we do not assume that about pagent participents. Specifically, we have decided that there is NO level at which pageant participation implies notability. In other words, if all you can show is the person has participated in beauty pageants (no matter the level of achievement), then that person is not notable. Your argument is entirely a red herring, Mysterymanblue. John from Idegon (talk) 04:00, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- It seems to me that Audra Mai has received significant media coverage, as she has been covered by a number of independent sources due to her successes in pageantry. You contend that this coverage is not significant because it is only related to her pageant life, providing WP:BLP1E as evidence. I counter with the idea that WP:BLP1E only covers people receiving coverage due to a single event; Audra Mai is famous due to a number of events which she has excelled at. I'm not proposing that we keep this article because she crossed some line in the sand that makes her accomplishments article-worthy. I'm proposing that we keep this article because she received significant news coverage as a result of her participation and success in the field of beauty pageants. Pageant participation may not imply notability, but the level of news coverage does, and Mai's participation in pageants does not diminish that coverage. Mysteryman blue 04:44, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Biography of a recently deceased performer, with no properly referenced claim to passing our notability standards for entertainers. The only substantive notability claim on offer here is that she worked as a drag queen and DJ in one city's local club scene, which is not "inherently" notable work -- people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they had jobs, but require evidence of distinctions, such as noteworthy awards and/or enough media coverage about them to clear WP:GNG. But of the three footnotes here, #1 is just a photograph of her and #3 is her death notice on a WordPress blog, neither of which are notability-supporting sources at all. And while #2 is a real magazine article that is actually about her, it takes a lot more than just one such source to get a person over GNG in lieu of actually having to have a real notability claim.
Note that per WP:WAX, the fact that there's an article on the French Wikipedia is not in and of itself a reason why there has to be one on the English Wikipedia too — especially since the French article also has a "notability is in question" tag on it. Bearcat (talk) 20:25, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

The result was no consensus and delete. This was not a successful WP:BUNDLE. However, as no one seems to be making any kind of argument for notability for Barn Coppice and Holming Wood with any policy or guideline based argument there does seem to be consensus to delete those two articles. As there were policy and guideline based reasons offered for keeping Upper Rapeland Wood and Graylands Corpse I find that there's no consensus here with no prejudice to a renomination where their notability (or not) can be discussed individually.

- Keep Upper Rapeland Wood (note that is spelled "Rapelands" in some sources). The iron workings mentioned in the article seem to be of some interest to archeology, there is non-trivial discussion in this article from the Proceedings of the Geologist's Association. Even the "Dismal Castle" seems to have some local notability. SpinningSpark 02:05, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. For example, a house doesn't meet the notability criteria for inclusion here just because a celebrity lives inside it. Similarly, an archeological site, even if notable, doesn't inherently confer notability on the small cluster of trees that happen to surround it. Largoplazo (talk) 10:50, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- That's a misapplication of NOTINHERITED. A physical place is notable (or not) for the things that are at that place and what people write about them. SpinningSpark 11:30, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- A just gave an example of a physical place (a house) that is not notable just because a notable person lives inside it so, no, a place is not notable by virtue of what is at that place. (If by "physical place" you mean something other than a house, I could just as easily have said "the 1400 block of XYZ Drive" or "the Foo-Bar tract" or some other such cartographical detail.) You mention places are notable for things people write about them. Yes, about them, not about things that are in them. Largoplazo (talk) 12:01, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- so the article is renamed to "Iron workings (Upper Rapeland Wood)", and lets hope nothing else wikinotable has occurred there or else we could end up with half a dozen articles on the one location. Coolabahapple (talk) 02:31, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I'm not sure these should be covered by the same deletion discussion. To clarify the nominator's comment, these were all created by the same user who, in addition, at around the same time, created two other articles that have been deleted as hoaxes, and created a third such article in the past. Still, they're four different subjects and their respective potentials for notability are mutually unrelated. (Further clarification: I had PRODded all four of these articles.) Largoplazo (talk) 10:57, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- I agree that it was a bad idea to bundle the nominations. But smearing the creator is not helpful towards deciding whether the articles should be kept. For the avoidance of all doubt, these are definitely not hoaxes and mentioning that was irrelevant at best. SpinningSpark 11:30, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- It was relevant to rebut any sense one might get that the fact that someone took the time to write the articles suggests some significance on the part of their subjects.

- Comment so "redirects" to relevant hamlets/villages weren't considered? Coolabahapple (talk) 02:55, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- It might be appropriate—if they are at least significant enough that for their existence to be raised in the articles on those hamlets villages. Otherwise the redirects would lead to no relevant information. I would be surprised if someone added to my locality's article information on every cluster of trees, every green patch with benches or children's recreation equipment, every residential street, or any other feature that might be designated on a map but that nobody outside of their respective neighborhoods would ever have heard of or have had any reason to. Largoplazo (talk) 10:00, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- If these articles are deleted, I will quit Wikipedia I have visited these locations in person, and carried out research for WikiProject Sussex to create these locations. I have a good track record of creating geographical articles about this area north of Horsham. All references are there, and no one had any problem with these articles until I created a couple of Polynesian hoax articles out of boredom and then someone slapped deleted templates out of spite. My woodland and hamlet articles are beautifully written and researched. --Polegåarden (talk) 11:52, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- (a) Threats and grievances and praise for the quality of one's own work don't address the matter at issue: my contention (that I cited in my PROD nomination and reiterated by the AFD nominator) that the articles' topics don't appear to meet the notability criteria for inclusion. (b) Of course after I realized you were a repeat hoax article creator, I looked to see what else you'd done, to find out whether you'd contributed false information elsewhere. These articles were not a hoax—but the topics didn't seem clearly notable. So I researched them as I do any time I'm concerned that a topic fails WP:N, and it seemed to me that they did fail. So I nominated them for PROD. Your attribution of my action to spite is a violation of the requirement to assume good faith when there's no evidence to the contrary. (c) Even if any spite on my part had been involved (it wasn't), it doesn't alter the notability or lack thereof of the topics, which you haven't addressed. (d) As you can see, I'm not the AFD nominator. So I'm not the only one who found the articles questionable. Largoplazo (talk) 13:32, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comments: I am struggling to see or find notability of any of these questionable articles. "Upper Rapeland Wood" sits on a hill and is listed as having "a mixed mature woodland", so is a strand of trees. The "Holming Wood" article is about a "Woodland Or Forest" (according to the source) that shows it exists but does not advance notability. That article states of Rapeland Wood "an area of mixed ancient woodland" but this was not corroborated. "Barn Coppice" has vague sources, some pits (minepits), and possibly some "hedgerows" (heritage assets) as noted from a "desk based" (non-intrusive) assessment. It does not appear to be listed as a particularly notable place of interest. The source states "An alleged moat at Bush Lane, probably a stream diversion of 18th century date". The quarry, castle, and moat ("Moated site 200m west of Graylands Copse" [scheduled monument]) may be of interest but what exactly does that have to do with "Graylands Copse"? I do not know if there is any suitable redirect to any "hamlets/villages" but the nom seems to be accurate with "Non-notable cluster of trees". -- Otr500 (talk) 06:59, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
- Strong Keep all I'm surprised they are even nominated. There is plenty of history to fill to fill these articles up. The place where they are located are choked with history. Upper Rapeland Wood is mentioned as a doing iron working, lime and iron mining. They are likely to mentioned in the Domesday book. All power to these articles. There is stuff on notable walks. More than enough to define notability. scope_creepTalk 19:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. The fact that the user used to create hoax pages is disappointing, and it is reasonable to inspect their other work as a result of such a revelation. However, the past actions of the user should not be brought up in this deletion discussion. It is not relevant to the quality/notability/verifiability of the topics; let them stand on their own merits. That being said, I believe the articles should be kept until a concerted effort is made to find better sources. Even if a quick Google search does not bring up much, historical sources may exist in print which indicate the notability of these places. On this front, the article I find most likely to not fulfill notability guidelines is Holming Wood, but I still think that effort should be made. At the very least, Template:Notability should be added to these articles. Mysteryman blue 23:11, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- I just want to point out that this is an occasion for making that effort. I mean, I'll be perfectly happy if someone presents evidence here that these are notable. It isn't as though I have any prejudice against these places. I'm just surprised how much of this discussion involves believing they're notable. I mean, I have friends who have clusters of woods behind their houses, woods that cover about the same area as the ones discussed in these articles. By default, I assume they aren't notable. Largoplazo (talk) 01:38, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Delete. Face value reading of the article doesn't reveal anything notable there: some iron mining, a castle once on the border, a minor building. While I don't doubt that the area might have provided some inspiring natural beauty to hikers, Wikipedia is not a trail guide. Blue Riband► 02:37, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete for failing notability guidelines at WP:GEOLAND, which looks like unpopulated places need WP:GNG to pass. While the article has lots of photos from someone who likes walking there, there is no indication of any notability. I note the keep !votes do not provide any indication of notability other than to assert there could be. That's insufficient. Ifnord (talk) 19:59, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete We really need to make sure to rid Wikipedia of Autobiographies. We also really, really should go to making all articles go through the articles for creation process. It is much, much easier to create an article than to delete an article. It is one act to create, and at least 4 acts to delete, and nominating something for deletion opens one up to the type of pushback one does not receive for creating an article. We desperately need to reform the process.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:13, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

The result was merge to Czech Republic–Poland relations. There is a consensus that this article fails to meet the standards imposed by the WP:NOTNEWS policy. Those who disagree with this consensus suggest that the incident is unusual enough that it will provide lasting notability. Those who form this consensus offered evidence to suggest that it is not unusual enough. This group of editors are split over whether the correct response to this failure to satisfy policy is to delete or to merge. As our deletion policy (as well as the relevant guideline cited by those who feel the article should be kept) make clear alternatives to deletion should be honored. As such there is a consensus to merge appropriate information to Czech Republic–Poland relations which will retain the content and attribution in the case the consensus is wrong and this does have lasting notability.

Non-notable incident that recently hit the international news as a "curiosity story" from abroad. Article fails our WP:GNG, WP:NOTNEWS and WP:10YT, among others. What happened is the following, just to illustrate the situation. Polish troops tasked with guarding the border to enforce the COVID-19 restrictions, crossed accidentally the Czech border in a hilly region, basically in the middle of nowhere. They set their border barriers there without realizing they are several hundred meters in the Czech Republic. The area where this happened is sparsely populated since the expulsion of the native ethnic German population after World War II, so no one really noticed the error until some Czech citizens tried to visit the local chapel (basically a pile of rubble now), and were denied passage by Polish soldiers guarding the border. The whole event is a short funny story without any real weight, yet the sensationalist media outlets throw away dramatic words like "invasion", "annexation" or "occupation", making the event sound a lot more significant than it really is. Therefore, I propose to delete the article, or alternatively redirect it to Czechoslovak-Polish border conflicts. Darwinek (talk) 19:45, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep, I created this after reading this today on BBC, NPR, CNN, and other places. Coverage has been going on for a few days, and there are national Czech, Polish, and German sources as well. The church had been restored by Polish and Czech activists, is not a pile of rubble, and is a site of worship. The incident, while accidental, was a serious diplomatic/military incident. The Czech-Polish border, as all borders inside the EU, has been quiet for decades. The situation of COVID border shutdowns and accidental invasions is very irregular in Europe. Poland and the Czech Republic haven't had a similar incidents from the 1990s at least.--Chuka Chief (talk) 19:57, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep or Merge into Czech Republic–Poland relations. It certainly seems to have enough coverage to satisfy the GNG. Whether it's a big enough event to justify its own article or a subtopic of the wider relations between the countries is another matter. Neither article is super long so perhaps it could be merged. Don't need to delete the material though. — Amakuru (talk) 20:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - article's subject matter seems notable and worthy of encyclopedic inclusion, and the article itself has sufficient supporting references. - Indefensible (talk) 20:10, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, there is a precedent with such things, the several similar incidents between Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and the standard is to merge the info to the article on diplomatic relations. However, this incident seems considerably more serious than any of the ones between those two countries, in that it seems to have caused a minor diplomatic row. Therefore, I think it has a chance of passing WP:10YT, to the extent it would be better to delete it later if coverage is not sustained in the slightest. If the article is kept, it should be renamed to May 2020 Czech Republic-Poland border incident or perhaps Accidental Polish invasion of the Czech Republic. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:44, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per above. Multiple, independent, reliable sources giving information about this topic meets the notability guidelines. Perhaps at a later date, it will become clear that this event does not merit its own article and that it should be merged into Czech Republic–Poland relations. Until then, it should stay as it clearly can stand on its own two legs. Mysteryman blue 23:29, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

- Merge to Czech Republic–Poland relations then delete redirect (maybe also add a see also or a footnote to Polish–Czechoslovak border conflicts). Given that nobody was hurt, and it was just a local military error, I very much doubt this can pass the mentioned WP:10YT. WP:NOTNEWS, this is a minor diplomatic incident that got written up because slow news season in Europe, I guess, outside corona news, and it is related. The title is a WP:EASTEREGG, if it is kept, it should very much be renamed to May 2020 Czech Republic-Poland border incident. Amd frankly, if it was properly named like this originally it would likely not end up here, the current name is the gist of the problem, blowing this tiny incident out of proportion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:09, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment. If kept, it should be renamed Polish invasion of the Czech Republic. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:38, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. The picture in this AfD is wrong, the occupied building was the chapel of st. Anne (Czech Wikipedia) which is an historic building that lays across a bridge from the castle ruins. I think the St. George church was not occupied. The historic chapel has been undergoing major restoration (compare 2012 to 2020). The incident itself is notable and is covered by reliable sources that call it an invasion: "Poland accidentally invaded the Czech Republic in late May and briefly annexed a corner of its neighbour’s territory, the country’s military has admitted" or "The Polish military has admitted it accidentally invaded the Czech Republic last month, but it insists its brief occupation of a small part of the country was simply a "misunderstanding"". Thank god this all ended well and with smiles in the end. What makes this bizarre is that instead of realizing the mistake and withdrawing after it was pointed out in late May is that Polish troops remained on the Czech side until June 11th and imposed restrictions (blocking access, no photos) on Czech citizens. --Bob not snob (talk) 05:42, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep: This event is extraordinary, in the literal sense that it is extremely unusual. The delayed response is particularly striking — in a world of instant communication, it took them two weeks to withdraw the troops. That's an argument based on WP:INTERESTING, but I think the invocation of WP:NOTNEWS here is essentially a WP:NOTINTERESTING argument. o choose one example from above, "if we cover every newspaper news pumped up to get readers" is suggesting that the story is inherently inconsequential, and therefore doesn't meet notability standards. When have we, in human history, treated sending troops into foreign countries and holding (a small piece of) foreign territory for two weeks as an inconsequential event? I am arguing that the very fact that we're treating it as a joke is itself indicative of changes in the last century of European law and practice, and I'm sorry, but that is actually (wp:)interesting. As far as notability standards go, this event has been described as an "invasion" by many reliable sources, including BBC News, NPR and Politico, and that coverage happened two weeks after the original event. — Toughpigs (talk) 14:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete or Merge with Czech Republic–Poland relations: This is a great example of WP:RECENTISM and WP:NOTNEWS.

Wikipedia should deliver important, serious matter, not such minor or strange events with such detailed description which might suggest that it is something really important. It is such an shamefully unimportant thing! It was such a weird and odd piece of news and it was treated that way in the news and in this article it is treated in a way in which an important events should be described. It is really misleading! And the worst thing is the "background". It has definitely been the accidental thing - the word "invasion" is terribly over the top in this case - and what's more - it is compared with (or shown against) the Polish-Czechoslovak war or with the 1938 annexation of Zaolzie. I have never come across such an exaggeration. It's hard to find a proper word to describe this impropriety. Seriously - what is the connection between this accident and the war of 1919 or the 1968? Ridiculous association. Unbelievable much ado about nothing.--Eduardschnack (talk) 20:11, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. This should be covered briefly in the articles on COVID-19 in these countries. Incidents where parties of European military personnel accidentally cross the border into a neighbouring friendly country are fairly common. Each time it happens there are some silly news stories about it being an "invasion", despite it being nothing of the sort. There are no lasting consequences of these accidents, except possibly for the careers of the junior officers in charge of the military force. This is just another example of this, and definitely doesn't warrant an article - much less a silly one claiming this was an "invasion" and there was an "occupation". Nick-D (talk) 23:57, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Nick-D:, I agree some of the coverage by CNN and other international media was exaggerated. Czech coverage such as [6][7] and Polish [8] is better. This also prompted an outburst of memes that were all over the place ([9]). This is different from other border incidents (which normally last a few hours). The Polish army occupied a religious shrine for a few weeks and prevented worshipers from accessing it. It also wasn't a junior officer, see https://10blog.wp.mil.pl/u/tn_2_Z2yIS95.jpg where a Polkovnik (Colonel) officer is standing in front of the Czech shrine. The Polish opposition called for the Polish defence minister to resign.--Bob not snob (talk) 05:56, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- Czech and Polish coverage is better and more balanced of course, as the incident pertains to both countries, though I wouldn't use Parlamentní Listy as a source - it's a disinformation web portal full of fake news and nationalistic rhetoric. Also, the fact that Polish opposition called for the minister to resign is of no value here. Polish political scene is (always was) a very heated arena where tough words and calls for resignation fly every week for any reason.--Darwinek (talk) 23:43, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

- All the Swiss events were a small group of soldiers taking a wrong turn and were resolved within hours immediately after the Swiss were informed of their mistake. The Swiss also didn't take enforcement actions against foreign citizens. In Pelhřimovy a permanent checkpoint was placed in Czech land, forces remained for weeks and took enforcement actions (barring entry and photographs) against Czech citizens. This is not forgotten, Polityka had a 1,200 word piece a couple of days ago titled "What a mess, how Polish soldiers entered the Czech Republic", [10].--Bob not snob (talk) 05:37, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- My impression from WP:ARBEE et al. is that in Eastern Europe, excessive nationalist zeal is a pervasive problem that extends into the media of these countries and into Wikipedia.

- None of the sources currently in the article are of much worth. They're passing mentions, IMDb, announcements (e.g. house sale, wedding). Also, lots of movie execs aren't notable. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:36, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- Really? None of them are of much worth? Were you able to view "Pictures: David Niven Jr. Turns Par Indie" that I added? I wouldn't call it a passing mention. "Lots of movie execs aren't notable" is a poor argument. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 00:40, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- So your pointing out that he was "an exec at Paramount and Columbia" was what? As for the photos, so he hobnobs with famous people. You can't WP:INHERIT notability. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:06, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Has a body of work in film, as a producer, which meets wp:filmmaker. Also nominated for emmy for film which he co-wrote and produced, which although not numerous times as it says in notability rules, but along with the body of work proves notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.159.239.150 (talk) 09:51, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. He is given non-trivial referencing in quite a few books: 1. He is catalogued in the British Film Institute (and quite a few of his films have WP articles). The article is well referenced, with non-trivial coverage. He does not have a major SIGCOV piece (at least not one I could find via google), however, per WP:BASIC:
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability

- The article appears to be a Google-translation of the French WP article, which was largely written before the publication and exhibition. Here we're not really considering the present state of the article - which needs substantial attention - but whether notability can be established. The publication and exhibition are a start towards that, but I am dubious that they (or the acquisition of one of his works by the Marseille Chamber of Commerce: [12]) are sufficient for WP:NARTIST criterion 4. I'd like to verify that he was noted more than locally. AllyD (talk) 08:00, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Reviewed as part of NPP. This article on a health documentary is the product of a WikiEd class, many of whose contributions are problematic. Notability is not demonstrated in the article. The sources cited, besides the film's Amazon listing and IMDB page, are research articles about the general topic of fasting; they don't mention the film at all. I wasn't able to find any substantial articles about the film in reliable sources.There's this but it's just a reprinted press release. Doesn't seem to meet GNG or NFILM.

- Comment; Madhyam also has an article on Sooranadu Rajasekharan breaking the lockdown, apparently a writer as well, controversy around his role in the KPCC leadership, S.R. comments on a recent issue, another article on same issue, and another one, another article on police case against S.R, S.R. charged with of accusing Law Minister A.K. Balan (why?), S.R. arrives in a location to investigate a violent incident against a UDF ally office, another lockdown violation article, S.R. issues criticism on inner-party issue, TV news report on S.R. breaking lockdown, yet another article on the lockdown violation... this time in the largest newspaper in the state, another article on S.R. lockdown violation, another coverage on S.R.'s lockdown violation, S.R. breaking lockdown presented as 'Breaking News', news report on S.R.'s book on Indian politics, Sooranadu Rajasekharan being interviewed in TV about his book (and checks his cell phone during the interview...), news report on lockdown violation, S.R. comments on a election, S.R. speaking during protest, S.R. interviewed on the Adoor election, S.R. speaker at a padyatra, being one of the panelist in debate on Mathtrubumi TV piece on state of the Congress in Kerala, news piece on a S.R.-related controversy, S.R. commenting on the Chakra as a national symbol, S.R. files a defamation claim against Lenin Rajendran, here a different transliteration of his name is used --Soman (talk) 11:52, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- So, summarizing;
- As a KPCC general secretary or vice president, i.e. key leader of one of the 2 major parties in a state with 30+ million inhabitants, Sooranadu Rajasekharan is frequently covered in news media, as commenting on different current issues
- He was been a candidate, but has been unsuccessful. In 2016 Kerala Assembly election he got 22.7% of the votes in Chathannoor (State Assembly constituency). In the 2004 Indian general election he was the runner-up in the Kollam (Lok Sabha constituency) with 34.6% of the votes.
- He's involved in a number of controversies, and there is third-party coverage on them
- He has a modest role as an author
- --Soman (talk) 12:05, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- The link [20] doesn't seem to work well, but the article is available in google cache. "KERALA Devil’s Own Workshop PAUL ZACHARIA ... Now the highway hits Kollam constituency where the notable detail is that the Congress candidate, Sooranad Rajasekharan, almost split the party in Kerala recently. His arch-enemy, who did not get the Kollam seat, announced that Rajasekharan had paid Rs 10 lakh to Padmaja Venugopal, daughter of K. Karunakaran, for the seat. That led to much drama. Rajasekharan does appear to be a moneyed man. He has lots of posters everywhere and has a glad and contented smile on the face depicted therein." --Soman (talk) 12:11, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

No notability outside of band he was in. Seems written as a self-serving promotion of himself as there is nothing notable about what he has done. Claim to fame is writing a non notable song, working with another band (Mama's Gravy) that isn't notable enough to have their own page. The rest of the article just lists things he does with no rationale why him doing those things (producer/studio musician,etc) are more notable than anyone else.

- Sure. I found both the reviews you cited, but determined that the allmusic review wasn't in-depth enough. Since it only describes one song from the album, out of 11, just to say in an extremely trivial way that it is "dripping with passion." Only mentioning a single song in passing isn't really an "album review." I'm fine with the JesusFreak review, because it actually discusses the album in an in-depth way, but we all know one review doesn't cut it. Like Eddie891 I was unable to find other reviews besides those ones when I did a search for them. Hopefully he/she will change their vote back to delete since there is only one legitimate in-depth review. Unless another, actually usable one can be found. --Adamant1 (talk) 13:56, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: I found a few reliable sources which talk about the album: [21], [22] and [23], as well as a review which partially mentions the album. It's also mentioned in the Retal release section of CMJ New Music magazines. The said sources, including the ones indicated above, make the article good enough to pass WP:NALBUM. My vote stands. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 22:48, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- The third one is a personal blog. So it doesn't count for notability. The other ones seem fine though. Thanks for contributing them. Hopefully they will lead to the article having more then just a track listing. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:12, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

I do not think this shows notability . The references are all either by sources associated with her, or are mere promotional interviews. The various 30 under 30 categories are beat regarded as a promotional gimmick, highlighting a different set of non-yet-notable people each year. The various "leadership salons" participation are similarly promotional events,and rather low level at that. If the Cz WP considers her notable , they need to look at their standards.

Non-notable video game, failing WP:GNG - Google search comes up nothing but a Indie Games Plus entry, which is a "Trailer Tuesday" list of various games; obviously does not fulfill the "significant mention" criteria.

- @Hatchens: AfDs usually attract enough participation without anyone being pinged; if you must ping people, though, it's best to focus on those who have some subject-matter expertise. Pinging users from a different area, as you have done, can easily violate WP:CANVAS, which you need to be aware of. Vanamonde (Talk) 03:44, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Vanamonde. Earlier, I participated in such ping calls. That made me to raise this ping. I apologize, I was not aware about WP:CANVAS. What would you suggest?. - Hatchens (talk) 03:51, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- I agree that pinging editors to participate in an AfD is unusual and perhaps even undesirable and it would be difficult to prove that the pings are to random editors, as such their views on the subject of deletion may be disregarded. I am however unsure about the “subject-matter expertise part”, considering that Wikipedia the project is being created by anonymous volunteers. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 04:01, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Hatchens: if a discussion isn't getting enough attention, notifying relevant wikiprojects can be helpful, so long as you take care to phrase that notification neutrally. It can also be helpful to ping editors with a lot of experience on Wikipedia editing related subjects, particularly those who have worked on bringing articles through our peer review processes (GAN and FAC in particular). In the latter case, though, you have to make sure you're not accidentally selecting people who subscribe to a particular POV. Vanamonde (Talk) 04:52, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

It can also be helpful to ping editors with a lot of experience on Wikipedia editing related subjects, particularly those who have worked on bringing articles through our peer review processes (GAN and FAC in particular). In the latter case, though, you have to make sure you're not accidentally selecting people who subscribe to a particular POV. Vanamonde (Talk) 04:52, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- I agree that pinging editors to participate in an AfD is unusual and perhaps even undesirable and it would be difficult to prove that the pings are to random editors, as such their views on the subject of deletion may be disregarded. I am however unsure about the “subject-matter expertise part”, considering that Wikipedia the project is being created by anonymous volunteers. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 04:01, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Vanamonde. Earlier, I participated in such ping calls. That made me to raise this ping. I apologize, I was not aware about WP:CANVAS. What would you suggest?. - Hatchens (talk) 03:51, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Hatchens: AfDs usually attract enough participation without anyone being pinged; if you must ping people, though, it's best to focus on those who have some subject-matter expertise. Pinging users from a different area, as you have done, can easily violate WP:CANVAS, which you need to be aware of. Vanamonde (Talk) 03:44, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep TNT essential, however, I quickly found plenty of papers in reputable journals with this as their affiliation. Seems like quite a new institute, some of the papers were in high impact journals, (not sure why they were proud of the Hidawi!) I didn't have any difficulty finding papers with the affiliation so I am assuming its well known.
Here's a couple, but yeah just enter the name of the insitute into pubmed. Check the affiliation, most seem genuine, no real reason to believe its not notable. i.e. collabs on nature genetics, nature a recent Cell paper PMID:29625052 J Diabetes PMID:31472036 PainProf (talk) 01:02, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Here comes one more newly minted ID PainProf (just 22 days old) to influence this AfD with couple of PubMed journal entries which hardly provides any concrete references (i.e., just passable mentions). Here is the actual link of PubMed articles which are mentioning this institute - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Dasman%20diabetes%20institute. It is a coordinated effort save this page - I'm not at all surprised. -Hatchens (talk) 07:49, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Hatchens please assume good faith, you could check my contribs I just saw this in the WP:medicine talk and was curious, I have no skin in the game re this particular institute. I did find they have a collab with Joslin Diabetes Centre too, see https://www.joslin.org/about/news-media/joslin-kuwaits-dasman-institute-forge-strategic-alliance, that's a HMS affiliate institute which gives me complete confidence that they are not a paper institute. Joslin is very well known with an excellent reputation in Diabetes research so I don't think they would do this if it wasn't . I'm not fully sure I understand your argument for deletion, the institute exists, they do have sources that don't seem to be press releases. Remember that institutes outside of the anglophone won't have as much coverage in the international press. Journalists tend to cover institutes in their own country and region more often. i.e. The ABC (AU) will cover more Australian science, etc. They do have coverage in the Arab times. For pubmed, I think not only the articles with the centre in the title are relevant as that would normally only be clinical populations etc but also the affiliations of the scientists - you have to expand the section on authors to show that, there are around 300 for that - by searching the name and checking a couple, which seems okay, not a huge number but it really seems they have only become more active recently based off the graph, I'm guessing some kind of expansion. There is a fairly common bias against non-anglo/euro institutes and I would be really careful to avoid perpetuating that. PainProf (talk) 12:54, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Plus a lot more local sources. Nominator clearly didn't look for sources before this AfD.
PainProf (talk) 03:34, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: In Google News, most of the prominent mentions are coming from press releases as pointed by the nom. And, in the main media segment, passing mentions are either coming from a doctor or a researcher who is affiliated to this institute, talking about certain diseases or treatments. No one is talking about this institute per se. Besides that, a sockpuppet is involved in moving this page from draft to main article namespace. So, enough pieces of evidence are available to support the prevailing consensus.Nathan811 (talk) 16:53, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. If the references are all local than it fails WP:CORPDEPTH. While I didn't pick through all of the references, announcements of awards and contracts in local and industry publications smacks of their reprinting press releases coming from the institute. While there's nothing wrong with that it's not reliable journalistic coverage involving fact checking and editorial oversight. Blue Riband► 02:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: If you are saying that the mentions are all of the researchers who work at the institute, then I think you've proven notability. The institute (as with all academic institutions) is not just a building, but a collection of researchers. If you are saying the researchers are producing notable discoveries, it stands to reason, the institution that groups them together and supports the research is also notable. The research is not possible without the institute. Their coverage can't be separated from the institution. As a general point, this kind of coverage would be most academic institutions, but it seems counter intuitive that most institutions wouldn't be notable.
Per the criteria, let's do a source analysis and see if it has any sources that allow notability.
Kuwaiti Government: Is independent, reliable, and significant Joslin Diabetes institute: Is independent, reliable and significant Arab news: Is international (Based in Saudi Arabia), independent, reliable and signficant. https://www.arabnews.com/node/1647311/lifestyle Oxford business group: Interview, not indepedent, signifcant, reliable: https://oxfordbusinessgroup.com/interview/facing-problem-obg-talks-dr-qais-saleh-al-duwairi-director-general-dasman-diabetes-institute-ddi
As a general point, I think opinions, that are per nom, " couldn't find any citations", "didn't read the sources" are disingenuous, they reflect a lack of attempt to find notability. The deletes arguments have failed to prove a lack of notability. This is clearly a major research institution (with over 300 publications in the past few years) in a nation not known for its research. Removing it would be unjustifiable. PainProf (talk) 04:52, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. While a good researcher could find references, I don't see WP:SIGCOV about what is essentially a small, specialized and local hospital. I have argued, often unsuccessfully, that we have to have standards for hospitals. There's hand-waving about helping "patients" (how many?) "across Kuwait" (in the desert?), but no statistics or data that can be verified. As far as I can tell, this is an outpatient research facility. This is an nonredeemable mess. Please convince us otherwise with good evidence. Bearian (talk) 15:24, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:NTV: The nominator implies that a "programming block on a TV channel" is "transient" and therefore not notable. There is a category of Television programming blocks in the United States, with articles for similar animation blocks like Adult Swim, Cartoon Quest, Toonami and the Disney Afternoon. NTV says that a TV program "is likely to be notable if it airs on a network of radio or television stations (either national or regional in scope), or on a cable television channel with a broad regional or national audience." The guideline doesn't exclude "programming blocks" from consideration; it mentions blocks but doesn't distinguish them as far as notability is concerned. The Deadline coverage is reliable and supports notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 21:10, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- WP:NTV is not a policy or a guideline. Also even it does not have anything in it regarding notability of programing blocks. A rationale that the provisions for TV shows should be applied to programming blocks because it did not exclude programming blocks makes no logical sense. North8000 (talk) 18:57, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete 3/4 of the block is Futurama reruns and other web content; it cannot compare to what was cited above as originating its own programming, and by design because of a certain NBC show on at the same time, it is purposefully designed not to be competitive or attract pop culture attention that would distract ratings on a sister network.

The article has existed for 16 years and has never contained a citation. It was flagged as requiring citations 13 years ago!!! and no-one has ever bothered to provide any. Considering the duration, it is reasonable to conclude that no-one will ever be interested in fixing the article to bring it into compliance with Wikipedia policy for the existence of an article (WP:VERIFY).

- Keep: "This article has been tagged with citation needed for x years!" is false drama. WP:IMPATIENT says that there is no citation-needed expiration date that makes a subject non-notable.

- I know this belongs in a different spot. But since you brought it up, I thought I would toss this out there. We really need to stop considering AllMusic as a reliable source. It may be a decent source for track names and times. But for anything else, there are far too many errors and omissions to be considered reliable. Additionally, the way AllMusic gets its data makes it less than reliable, solely because it only adds what people submit to it. Furthermore, once they put the data up, they allow user edits. It may not be as fluid as Wikipedia, but everything is editable.2601:983:827F:6B20:9D38:4027:AF81:D46E (talk) 12:18, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- Agreed. It was once a terrific source when it was print only with dedicated editorial staff with oversight. For 5 or 10 years it has evolved in it's quest to meet its stated mission of being an online database/resource for all music that is sold anywhere. Strange thing, though, they still maintain editorial oversight for select entries, so it's really hard to discern between the good and the bad sometimes. I advocate for the default being unreliable unless the specific exceptions can be cited. However, AfD discussions among other editors take the opposite view. And Their's are the official policy currently in effect. ShelbyMarion (talk) 15:49, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Most information about this aeroplane is fake. There is insufficient WP:RS to WP:VERIFY the slightest WP:NOTABILITY.
My prod was removed on the basis that the fakery is not proven. However the WP:PROVEIT policy puts the burden of proof on the addition of content, not its removal. The case for fakery is strong, so I present it here in more detail.
Some kind of project study probably existed, see for example this list. But there is no verifiable evidence that it was ever built.
The two cited sources do not adequately establish the status of the design, never mind its notability. One, Hegedus & Ozsvath, is not a viable source anyway. It cites the other, Bonhard et. al., as its only source. It acknowledges it is publishing fake photos but does not realise that the drawings and much other data are drawn from equally unreliable Internet sources - fact cannot be untangled from fiction. The only RS we have is a passing mention in a book on the Hungarian Army. Internet searches have not shown up any more RS, but they have found discussions of fakery.

- Slava Trudu created the best-known fake image and posted it on Photobucket in 2009. He based it on a model which he had made from a resin kit* and posted on the WhatIf modellers forum here.
- The tail design probably originated with Fokker D.XXIII
- Some fuselage detail appears to come from the Saab 21
- The ground crew were clipped from an image on Photoshop, uploaded by Stava Trudu (but later blocked from public view), follow a link on ww2aircraft to [24] here.
These and other Internet snippets do suggest that the wing may have been under construction when the Allies bombed it out, and some numbers may or may not go back to the one known WP:RS. But beyond that one apparent mention in a book on the Hungarian Army by Bonhard et. al., there is nothing to WP:VERIFY the slightest notability.
* For information: short-run resin kits of obscure projected aircraft designs are very common these days, especially from East European kit suppliers. Many are highly speculative and/or inaccurate. They are too niche a product to establish any kind of notability. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 10:42, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment. Hegedus & Ozsvath have another image on page 171 that appears not to have come from Slava Trudu, and looks rather less like a photoshop job. We cannot judge the reliability of a source solely by what sources they cite. We don't necessarily know what assessment they made of the sources and what other sources they used but didn't list. That's why we use sources from reliable publishers with a reputation for fact checking. We rely on them to do the assessment. I'm not seeing any evidence that this paper was published in a peer reviewed journal, but it is on the website of the Hungarian Military Logistics Association. According to their homepage, they are associated with the Hungarian National Archives. Make of that what you will. SpinningSpark 12:10, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Had you translated the image caption "8-9. ábra: A Marton X/V harci repülőgép makettje fotómontázsokon" (Figures 8-9: Photomontages of a model Marton X/V fighter aircraft) you would have found the acknowledgement of fakery to which I refer in my rationale; note that the acknowledgement refers to both images, 8 and 9. At least some of the drawings of it in the paper are also recent concoctions by Internet funsters and those are not acknowledged. Who knows which text factiods might not accompany them or whether any drawings are genuine. You might suggest that this paper is less mixed-up over its verifiability than I do, but the WP:PROVEIT policy puts the burden of proof and clearing of doubt on those who wish to demonstrate verifiability and notability, not the other way round. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 13:44, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - With the only "proof" of its existence being an obviously photoshopped, I support deletion until a reliable source can be found that confirms its existence. - ZLEA T\C 14:15, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment. A translation of citation 1 of the article states in part "In the field of further development of the two-engine destroyer category, the Hungarian development engineers also followed the German trend when Marton Dezső - MartonVilmos' pair X / V twin-engine experimental combat aircraft was built". Later it states " The experimental aircraft was operated in Ferihegy, in the workshop of the RMI (Aviation Technical Institute),destroyed by an American air strike in April 1944." Unless I'm missing something it appears (according to this source) one was built, ran and destroyed. - Samf4u (talk) 14:32, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Considering that the article contains images of models that have been photoshopped to look real, I wouldn't take the source too seriously. It appears to be based off of internet rumors, not surviving records. - ZLEA T\C 14:52, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Rumours indeed. Stories vary from the wings part-built to the plane nearing completion to the thing flying. The faked images are almost always produced in support of the more exaggerated claims. And the claim of flight we have here is the most exaggerated of all. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 14:57, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

- @Buidhe: I don't think this should be on the hoax list. There is some (thin) evidence that this was a real project. Everything else is confusion caused by some over-excitable model makers. SpinningSpark 14:18, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- I'd agree with Spinningspark. This is not so much a Wikipedia hoax as exaggeration out of all proportion in typical Internet style. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- "For the purpose of this list, a hoax is defined as a clear and deliberate attempt to deceptively present false information as fact." It seems clear that that is happening (eg photoshapped images) even if the subject technically exists. buidhe 20:55, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Exacly. It's not clearly deliberately deceptive. Neither our article nor the source presents any photographs as anything other than what they are. Our article marks the images as models and the source marks its (different) images as photomontages. SpinningSpark 21:17, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Buidhe: The list is not for all hoaxes, but specifically for "Wikipedia hoaxes" also referred to as "hoax articles". That is, hoaxes originally created on Wikipedia. Hoax articles often betray themselves by the style of editing, this is not true of articles about other hoaxes, such as Piltdown Man. There is no suggestion that this hoax was brewed up specifically on Wikipedia. See also this conversation on my user talk page a few days before I posted this AfD. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 07:32, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

- Hi! This company is pretty much the main company in the world that provides B2B reviews which seems notable — TripAdvisor, Yelp and more have pages, as does sites like Epinions which seems much less notable. Also, they're a relatively influential business data publisher — would it be better if I provide more links to citations like number 32 which you highlight as a better one? I can go through and add those — I thought press releases counted as a third party source and they're more direct, but I can go back and add more references showing third party media coverage on their work.

- 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. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched myself I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails GNG/WP:NCORP.

- Koridas, per WP:NSONG,
Songs that do not rise to notability for an independent article should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song.
Chithi Na Koi Sandesh is not a single. The song is part of the soundtrack of Dushman. Therefore, since the article is not notable enough, redirecting it to the film is the best option. So, don't bother arguing with me over this matter. I already have explained enough. So, I won't reply any further. My vote stands no matter what. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 03:06, 18 June 2020 (UTC)- Superastig, But that's not even close to what you said. You said it's not necessary for a song from a soundtrack to have its own article, which I strongly disagree with. I was proving you wrong. I don't vote keep, I'm just disagreeing with your opinion. Koridas talk? 03:11, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Koridas, I don't mind if you agree or disagree with my views. When I said
it's not necessary for a song from a soundtrack to have its own article
, for me, that means that the song is not notable enough to have a stand-alone article. Unless there are enough independent sources about the song. Therefore,Songs that do not rise to notability for an independent article should redirect to another relevant article
. So, no matter how many times you argue with me, it is really close to what I said. I really know what I'm saying here. I rest my case. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 04:06, 18 June 2020 (UTC)- BTW, if you're thinking of arguing with me any further, don't bother responding at all. This is not worth arguing since arguing with me over my views only makes matters worse. Everyone has his own views in every AfD. So, it's best to respect it than to waste time arguing over it.

- Delete per WP:NSONG. The sources used in the article are largely unreliable, and those that are marginally reliable are about the singer and not this particular song. The article says the song was a big hit with widespread airplay but offers no evidence, and the song can only be found in routine streaming services and promotional announcements. Also I do not recommend redirecting, because in my belief it makes more sense to redirect a song title to its relevant album rather than the musician's article, and in this case there is no album. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 16:50, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

This page has many faults and issues, but I think the most notable one is that this said "autonomous zone" doesn't even exist. All the existing reports say protestors are *camping out* near the capitol, not that there has actually been an autonomous zone created like the one in Seattle. The "Nashville Autonomous Zone" is more or less an idea, and not something that is occurring or even existent at this point. There are no verifiable sources that actually prove that there is even an occupation of Nashville or even any large number of protesters currently. Monstarules (talk) 02:41, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep This has more than enough media coverage to warrant an article. While smaller in size than the CHAZ, the NAZ activists declared an Autonomous Zone and have occupied it in defiance of State laws + Police. Juno (talk) 05:38, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Merge to George Floyd protests in Tennessee per WP:NOPAGE. Despite some coverage, that does not mandate a separate article. Reywas92Talk 04:14, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Comment Please provide additional sources. There is zero proof that an actual zone exists outside of Heavy.com attempting to name it as such, and it is outweighed by several other sources that you yourself have referenced in the article which state there has been an attempt, and not that an actual zone has been established. There is also no continuing news coverage of such a zone existing. Protestors merely defying police orders doesn't make this an autonomous zone, and you know it. Monstarules (talk) 09:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Among others: Tennessee Lookout:Sunday night, protestors were still camped on the plaza, on which they displayed a banner christening the space Ida B. Wells Plaza in honor of the Black journalist News Channel 5 Nashville:As of 8 a.m. Saturday, members of the group were still at the site peacefully protesting. WKRN:A few protesters remain outside the Capitol after taking over Legislative Plaza on Friday night. Some stayed the night Friday into Saturday at the ‘Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone’ despite warnings from Governor Bill Lee that it would not be tolerated. Tennessean:Activists and protesters gathered Friday night outside the Tennessee state Capitol to claim the space as an autonomous zone Nashville Scene:Protesters set up tents on the steps of the Tennessee State Capitol and declared it an autonomous zone WSMV:Protesters formed what they called "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" outside the Tennessee State Capitol. It was part of the "Free Capitol Hill" rally. Juno (talk) 16:10, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. The media is reporting on these happenings as the “Nashville Autonomous Zone” and this topic clearly meets notability requirements. If you don’t like the name of the article, I suggest you go through the WP:RM process to try to change it to something else. However, be warned that the widespread use of “Nashville Autonomous Zone” by the media means that the title of this article is probably going to stay too. If you find the content of the article to be problematic, the best way to fix it is probably to improve it with well-sourced, verifiable material. Mysteryman blue 09:05, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Please provide sources to these alleged "several other outlets", otherwise your argument for keeping the article is invalid. There is zero proof that an actual zone exists outside of Heavy.com attempting to name it as such, and it is outweighed by several other sources referenced in the article who say there had been an attempt, and not that an actual zone has been established. Monstarules (talk) 09:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Quite frankly, whether or not the NAZ is actually autonomous does not impact whether or not this topic is notable. The Principality of Sealand is almost universally recognized to not be an independent nation, but it still has a Wikipedia article despite the fact that it is not a "real" country. If you think that this article should instead be called something you believe to be more accurate like George Floyd protests in Nashville, you're welcome to propose renaming the article. You can even provide evidence within the article that the NAZ is not truly autonomous. In either case, though, the NAZ (by that or any other name) would still hold notability as a group of protests, or even as an attempted autonomous zone. There are a variety of sources in the article, but you can also find some more at this NewsLookup result. Aside from a large number of less reliable sources, I count sources from Fox News, the Tennessean, and lots of local news outlets. Mysteryman blue 19:59, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Merger or (weak) Keep. A lot of un-credible sources are covering NAZ, thus they should be ignored - the credible sources covering it seem to be mentioning the attempts to form NAZ and not covering as it as a truly formed autonomous area. I would recommend a redirect to Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone#National, where other attempts to form autonomous zones are mentioned, be created. A merger with the Tennessee State Capitol, George Floyd protests in Tennessee, or Ida B. Wells#Legacy and honors pages could also work. If the page is kept it probably should be re-named to something like "George Floyd protests in Nashville", "Nashville Autonomous Zone (proposed state)", or "Nashville Autonomous Zone (protest)" since it doesn't seem truly formed (unlike CHAZ).

- Comment@User:Mt.FijiBoiz, as an update, according to the Nashville Scene the NAZ soldiered on through Sunday and according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press they were there Through Monday, 9&10 News discussing new TN legislation, saying the NAZ was still up this Monday. There has been more coverage in RSs since this article was first published: AP news discusses new TN legislation in response to the NAZ, Nashville 4 News update from Monday, WKRN update published today. I will work to get all of these updates + new RSs into the article. Juno (talk) 20:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Merge to George Floyd protests in Tennessee – The "NAZ" doesn't have the same notability as the CHAZ and doesn't have much coverage other than being a one-day copycat attempt. I see no sources that prove that the "NAZ" still exists. Same reason why Kharkiv People's Republic doesn't have its own article, while its counterparts in Donetsk and Luhansk do...

Comment I have an article saying that the government has told protesters to pack up and leave. This article is dated June 17, 2020. Please read [26]. I think today marks the end of NAZ. 76.223.244.197 (talk) 15:33, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- rip NAZ. Long Live The NAZ. Today could very well be the end and I'll keep looking for sources and updating the article. Even if the Zone only lasted 6 days I believe that it got enough coverage to merit an article. Juno (talk) 04:45, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment, changing stance to Merge Juno, all I'm reading and seeing in your sources is that protesters are claiming that a zone exists whilst no actual solid proof of a zone existing does. It was an attempt, and it ultimately failed. It was a weak occupational protest that was originally attended by a few thousand people but only a few protestors remained actually camping out in Nashville. A lot of the language in the NAZ article itself is also running based off of assumption and is unsourced. You're probably not going to like the outcome regardless whether this is kept, deleted or merged. I understand you think you are doing a great service here for public information, but this issue just doesn't really merit it's own page. Monstarules (talk) 17:43, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

- Comment: I based my assessment on available sources, not sources used. I did not think there were enough third-party sources to support a stand-alone article for Virgil's as individual product, but there are some.example The Reed's ginger ale campaign that named Canada Dry garnered modestly broad coverage.[27][28]. The failed merger with Jones Soda shows that coverage was not just a blip.[29][30][31] I probably should have proposed a technical closure on the basis of a inappropriate WP:BUNDLE since an individual product (featured over the parent company) and a publicly traded manufacturer whose eponymous product happens to be ginger beer is not "nearly identical to root beer", and the early editors differ.

The article notes:
But Virgil's is different. This high-end root beer (if the notion is not too absurd) is pure and clean, with a clarity of flavor that leaves you wanting more, rather than wondering what possessed you to drink the whole bottle.
Originally brewed in England, Virgil's now comes from the Beverage Corporation in Los Angeles. It is one of the few sodas these days to use cane sugar, which imports a clean, crisp sweetness, rather than corn syrup, which I find strong and unpleasant, with a metallic aftertaste.
And unlike so many other root beers, Virgil's has components that are all of the earth, as was true when the term root beer was coined. The ingredients include vanilla, licorice, cinnamon, clove, wintergreen, nutmeg and molasses, and all are clearly discernible in the blend.
The major sticking point is the price: $2.29 for a 12-ounce bottle, twice the price of most other boutique sodas. ...

The article notes:
Virgil’s Root Beer, Virgil’s Bavarian Nutmeg Root Beer. Originally made in Germany and the UK by a New England enthusiast, Virgil’s was purchased by Angeleno Chris Reed (Reed’s Ginger Brew) and seems to be everywhere lately. Virgil’s root beer is delicious -- very rooty, with a texture that’s more silky than creamy, and flavors on the spice-and-licorice end of the root beer flavor spectrum. Bavarian Nutmeg Root Beer is rich and spicy, “the vintage port of root beers,” one taster said, and, yes, you can taste the nutmeg. Both made with cane sugar. (Available at Aero Market, Beverages & More, Bristol Farms, Cost Plus World Market stores, Galco’s, Sainsbury Deli, Whole Foods. Root beer only available at Mani’s Bakery in Los Angeles, [323] 938-8800; Mel & Rose Liquor & Deli; Trader Joe’s markets.)
Virgil’s Cream Soda. This has a good real-vanilla flavor, but it’s light. It doesn’t knock out your taste buds, but opens up slowly and has a soft, pleasant finish. It would make a wonderful float. (At Aero Market, Beverages & More, Bristol Farms, Cost Plus World Market stores, Galco’s, Mel & Rose Liquor & Deli, Sainsbury Deli, Whole Foods.)

The article notes:
With the current popularity of micro-brewed beer, it's little wonder that Virgil's Root Beer, also micro-brewed, is catching on among the too-young-to-drink set. Virgil's is brewed in the north of England from Lake District water. Made from real roots — sassafras, licorice, and ginger — Virgil's wins industry awards and deserves them. This old-time drink, popularized during Colonial times, tastes strong and zippy, not diluted like most modern root beers.

Virgil's
($3.99 for four bottles)
This all-natural, microbrewed concoction bills itself as the Dom Perignon of the root-beer world, but our judges begged to differ. It was deemed "too strong" with a "faint alcohol taste"; one suggested it might be better "warmed up and sipped by a fire." The word "unpleasant" was used not once but three times, as was the word "syrupy." "Yuck" turned up only once, but that's more than enough, don't you think?

Virgil's Root Beer—1994 Outstanding Beverage (English-style root beer). The firm was purchased in 1999 by Original Beverage Company, which specializes in brewed ginger ale. Original Beverage principal Chris Reed was a friend of Virgil's Root Beer founder Ed Crowley. Reed purchased Crawley's company after Crawley passed away. Virgil's Root Beer is still on the market, but its new owner's focus is on brewed ginger ale. The company reports that it is the number one ginger ale in Trader Joe's upscale grocery chain.

If you want a four-pack of Virgil's Root Beer, be prepared to plunk down a cool $6.79 (before taxes). But then, maybe that's not so extravagant for a soft drink that gets its anise from Spain, licorice from France, vanilla from Madagascar, cinnamon from Ceylon, clove and nutmeg from Indonesia, cassia oil and wintergreen from China, sweet birch and molasses from the United States, pimento berry oil from Jamaica and balsam oil from Peru. What's more, the prestigious Hammacher Schlemmer catalog offers it.

Called Virgil's Root Beer, the beverage is made in small batches in an appropriately small brewery in Chester, England.
Sassafras, anise, licorice, cane sugar and spring water from England's Lake District are used to make Virgil's. It is also brewed naturally rather than carbonated under pressure with carbon dioxide gas as most other soft drinks are today.
The president of the company that imports Virgil's to the United States says it is comparable to root beers made in American Colonial Days when many taverns and families brewed their own.

Yup, six bucks for a bottle of root beer, albeit about half again as big as a regular bottle and with a porcelain stopper similar to that of Grolsch beer. Another medium foam head that fades quickly.

Strategy in Action: Reed's World of Ginger
Anyone like ginger beer? If so, you may be familiar with Reed's, the company known for its ginger-flavored products, including its award-winning, nonalcoholic ginger brews, ginger teas, candies and chews, and even ice cream. Started in 1989 by Chris Reed, the company today sells its products in natural and organic grocery stores, such as Whole Foods Market, gourmet cafes, online (Amazon.com), and even drugstores. As a point of reference, a four-pack of 12-ounce Reed's Ginger Brew retails for about $7.In relation to Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Reed's is a teeny-tiny company. So how does Reed's successfully go up against these Goliaths? By doing a value chain analysis of Reed's, you will gain important insights into the company's operations and how it delivers unique and targeted value to its customers.
...
Beginning in 1987, when Chris Reed began tinkering with brewing processes for sodas, Reed's has been a small but nimble competitor whose core activity is product innovation. For Reed's to stay ahead of its pack, its culture of product innovation needs to permeate its firm infrastructure. A critical component is its human resource management of hiring, training, and retaining employees who can come up with the next generation of ginger-based products. These include herbologists, foodies, and even health "nuts" who embrace and promote the health benefits of Reed's products. Two specific aspects of Reed's technology development help the company create unique, premium products. First is its deep knowledge of, experience in, and expertise in manipulating (i.e., innovating) ginger into a variety of consumable products. Second is the brewing process the company has perfected over decades. ...

Kathy Smith, a principal at Renaissance Capital in Greenwich, Conn., said potential investors should scrutinize Reed’s stock prospectus and financial statements.

The article notes:
Even before he wrote this letter, Chris Reed had never had much of a taste for authority or for other people's restrictions. Sure, it was aggressive to promise that he would be on the OTC board within nine months. But he was an iconoclast, an outlaw in this business world of rules and paperwork. He had been ever since he started his little natural-soda company, Reed's, from his kitchen, in Venice Beach, California, in 1987. Back then he was a burnt-out chemical engineer who had taken a sales job at 1-800-Dentist while trying to conjure up a company. He liked the taste of ginger, and while studying herbs, as one tends to do in Venice Beach, he learned that ginger soothed stomachaches and motion sickness. He began brewing a spicy ginger beer and tinkered with the concoction for a couple of years. Once the brew satisfied him, he bought 90 pounds of ginger, cut it up by hand, and threw it in the back seat of his Volkswagen Bug. He drove to a local brewery to borrow a vat and used a canoe paddle to mix the ginger with water, roots, and spices. He poured that into some bottles, slapped on some labels, and drove the Bug to health-food stores, delis, and a Philly cheesesteak joint to sell test batches. Then he stuffed some bottles into his backpack and wandered to the Natural Foods Expo West 1990, where a couple of big distributors liked his product and signed him up. He was in Whole Foods by the end of the year.
He had no idea that that 1999 letter would kick off an extended entanglement with the very people he was trying to avoid: the lawyers, the bankers, the regulators, the state officials, the people who believed in rule books and orderly procedures. By the time he wrote the letter, Reed's had revenue of $4.2 million, and Reed wanted to buy an L.A. warehouse and turn it into a brewery. He decided to raise the money through a special, non-IPO offering for small businesses called a Small Corporate Offering Registration, or SCOR, which lets companies sell up to $1 million worth of stock to the public without having to go through Securities and Exchange Commission reviews. ... Nine months into the 12-month offering, Reed had raised only $50,000 and was about to shut it down.

The article notes:
With the aid of a loan from his father, Reed launched his first batch of ginger brew for less than $5,000 in the summer of 1989. He sliced 90 pounds of fresh ginger by hand, brewed the product at a small brewery with no bottling operation, bottled it on his own, slapped on labels with a stick of glue, and loaded 36 cases into the back of his VW bug for distribution at four local stores.
...
Reed’s is also the only soft drinks business in the world to package its brew in a five-liter keg — a selling point for both the thrifty and the environmentally conscious. The company packages its spiced apple brew and top varieties of its ginger brew in champagne-like bottles to compete with brands like Martinelli’s, an attempt it says proved highly successful in California supermarkets. In addition, the company offers a one-liter swing-lid bottle, fashioned after that offered by European beer maker Grolsch. “We’re creatives. We do unique packaging that other people don’t,” says Reed.
...
Marketing expert Seth Godin, however, thinks Reed’s success boils down to the fundamental fact that its product is good. “It’s so easy to think that marketing and the product are two different things, but they’re not. Their product is different, it’s spicy. People talk about the drink for what it is — and not because they’ve changed their bottle.”
...
While entering the mainstream is an understandable ambition for any niche company, Gary Hemphill, managing director at the Beverage Marketing Corporation issues a caveat. “These companies can’t get caught up competing directly against the giant companies. They certainly can’t compete against them on price.” His advice is that companies like Reed’s should “play up their uniqueness in their marketing. That’s their value in the marketplace.”

With new ginger wellness shot bottles hitting shelves next month, the “craft” soda company Reed’s has a new, concentrated burst of innovation as it enters its second full year based in Connecticut, after moving its headquarters to Norwalk from Los Angeles.

Under Chris Reed, who created the company in 1989, Reed’s gained an early cult following in taking on Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Cadbury Schweppes and Canada Dry, first with its ginger beer and then with its purchase a decade later of Virgil’s and its line of root beer.
But in attempting to capitalize still further on that early name recognition, Reed attempted to branch his company into other lines of soft drinks, including those bottled for sale under other company’s labels, struggling with production issues and denting profits over time.
With losses growing, Reed’s directors named as board chairman John Bello,who gained industry fame building up the South Beach Beverage Co. and selling SoBe to PepsiCo. Bello chose Stalowir as CEO to lead a turnaround of Reed’s.
