The Magic of Christmas (Celtic Woman album)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Everything that's worst about record articles: most of the content is self-sourced to the band, the baloance is sources that are supplied by the band's representation (e.g. AMG). No attempt is made at any assertion of notability other than by inheritance. And the album itself is a seasonal potboiler with nothing novel at all. Guy (help!) 23:48, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok fine. You can delete it, I moved it to the draft space for now Kay girl 97 (talk) 03:46, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment JzG, Kay girl 97 has copy/pasted the article into draft space so they can continue trying to find sources for it. Might a better solution be to delete that new draft, userfy this article (to retain the history), and then set up a redirect at the article title? If Kay girl 97 can find enough independent sources to satisfy notability requirements, the draft could then be moved back into article space. GirthSummit _(blether) 09:40, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lack of notability. I would imagine that any member of the Soviet space program would receive a certain amount of run of the mill coverage; fact remains that attempting to get into the Guiness Book of Recors as the oldest spaceman is not a claim to notability; it is rather a desperate attempt for it.TheLongTone (talk) 15:47, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The concern seems to be 'is someone who trained as an astronaut/cosmonaut, but never flew, notable?' Up to now the answer to that seems to be yes, given we have articles on those in the US space programme who were in the same position, such as John S. Bull, Edward Givens, Brian O'Leary, Donald Holmquest, Philip K. Chapman, etc. Many of their post training careers followed the same trajectory as Belousov's, who went on to work as a senior researcher in scientific and military developments, and as a senior editor in a publishing house. The Soviet/Russian cosmonauts should not be held to a different standard. His career is noted in both Russian and English language works, like Hall, David & Vis' Russia's Cosmonauts: Inside the Yuri Gagarin Training Center, Zigunenko's 100 Great Secrets of Cosmonautics, Zheleznyakov's Secrets of Rocket Disasters. The Price of Space Breakthroughs, Slavin's The Secrets of Military Cosmonautics, and in the Military Encyclopedia of Belarus, etc etc. The latter should qualify for the WP:GNG under WP:ANYBIO in itself. The article is in need of clean up and expansion, but as the Russian entry shows, a full and complete article can definitely be written, and WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Spokoyni (talk) 16:12, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per comment by user Spokoyni. He is actually well known. One can find RS about him, for example [3]. My very best wishes (talk) 18:33, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per Nom, User:TheLongTone, and the editor that has moved the article to a non-notable title, without discussion here or on the talk page, without consensus, and removed the maintenance tags without discussion. As a (cosmonaut) this subject is certainly not notable. Making "comparisons to other articles to show there is bias might be in good faith but is invalid. I am making no decision based on the nationality nor ethnicity of the subject. A 2017 tag called into question the notability of the subject, which has not been resolved, even though the tag has now been improperly removed. When notability is an issue then "keep" comments like "He is actually well known. One can find any number of RS about him." is not a credible rationale. NPOSSIBLE states, However, once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface. The criteria for inclusion is based on multiple reliable and independent sources. The reason we have sourcing guidelines is to be able to "prove" notability exists. A problem is that being a cosmonaut (or astronaut) is not a valid criteria for automatic inclusion. A search of The Secrets of Military Cosmonautics (Google books) did not bring up anything I could source to the subject. Any wishing to show notability for inclusion should provide more than a name, like a page number (proper sourcing), so a possible inline citation can be used. Just listing the names of works, that are likely not about the subject, does not satisfy GNG or any other notability criteria. I mean this in the nicest of ways but I don't know anything about the Russian encyclopedia, the "Russian entry" there, or the sourcing criteria. If we are going to translate articles from there to here there should be more than a pseudo biography, dictionary entry or a name with primary sources. We are not required to assume an entry is notable because it is covered somewhere else. On the English Wikipedia the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note" —that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life., and this is evidenced by our sourcing criteria. Otr500 (talk) 10:44, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The Russian article includes three sources: astronaut.ru, hobby.ru and evg-rumjantsev.ru. All three sites appear to be user-generated content and therefore not WP:RS. Narky Blert (talk) 12:17, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: The example source (Why don't people fly) has been brought up twice as well as mention of bias("...Soviet/Russian cosmonauts should not be held to a different standard"). I am 100% for inclusion of notable subjects across Wikipedia platforms. We apparently have unlimited space and need to limit any bias as much as possible. The English Wikipedia, reportedly having more stringent sourcing requirements, does not in itself create a bias that we should overlook or watered down by exceptions. If there are astronauts or cosmonauts that are not independently notable there should not be a stand alone article on that individual. If an individual is deemed to be non-notable that is a reason to examine this and not use it as a reason to try to include other like articles as a reason to keep or consider it bias.

The article List of cosmonauts shows the vast majority of the names have blue links. The "example" source lists names that are included and some that are not. Valentin Bondarenko is surely notable.

Valery Beloborodov may have been missed along with Vladimir Benderov, Valentin Ershov, Leonid Ivanov, Leonid Kadenyuk, Eduard Kugno, Mars Rafikov, Alexander Schukin, and Rimantas Stankevicius. If they were cosmonauts they should probably be included. I will leave a note at List of cosmonauts for examination.

Ivan Anikeev (from the source), apparently Ivan Anikeyev (one source), Valentin Filatyev (one source), and Grigory Nelyubov, were "members of the original 20 cosmonauts", and were expelled for drunk and disorderly conduct. Filatiev became a teacher. Nelyubov, ended up being killed by a train while drunk. Possibly being one of the original 20 cosmonauts selected can be seen as stand alone status notable. If so then surely a member of the "Sochi Six" would be. This source indicates that Russian politics is a cause of a lack of sources. Are some of these actually "notable" for stand alone biographical coverage?

Gherman Titov (listed as German Titov) and Yuri Gagarin are in the source and certainly notable. Sergei Vozovikov died in service and has sourcing. Konstantin Valkov is not on the list but was selected as a Russian cosmonaut. Exclusion may not be biased just a lack of editing.

The point is that "just" being a member of Lists of astronauts, List of astronauts by year of selection, List of astronauts by name, List of cosmonauts, or any of the other lists, or any mentioned in a source, does not mean an individual article should be created on that criteria alone but we all know that happens. I don't see a "different standard" but maybe non-notable astronaut/cosmonaut articles. If a subject is notable then include it, if not then merge or delete. Otr500 (talk) 13:15, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Someone being included (or not included) in WP lists is not a proof of anything. What we need here are RS telling something about this person to establish his notability and check other information about him. Such sources have been provided in comments by user Spokoyny and me. Here is an additional source used in ruwiki: [4]. This is a database about Russian astronauts. In my opinion, this is a sufficiently reliable source for non-contentious claims, and it does establish the significant involvement of this person in the Soviet space exploration programs. My very best wishes (talk) 18:09, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comments: I do not understand the comments "WP lists is not a proof of anything". A subject may not be notable enough to warrant a stand alone encyclopedia article, but be a member of a more broad notable subject, so in the interests of preserving any important and encyclopedic content, we include it there. I do not just argue deletion for the fun of it. If a subject is notable for a stand alone article, as provided by our notability, sourcing, and inclusion policies and guidelines, it should have an article. I consider the evidence without any "bias" and if there is evidence of notability I am more than happy to jump ship for inclusion.
The source, astronaut.ru, is a database that states at the top "He has no space flight experience." It appears to be more of a resume since the "Space training" section "provides nothing" advancing notability. The "about" section of that database states it is maintained by five editors and proof read by an additional three. A problem is that it states, "The information presented on our website is collected from various print and Internet sources, if necessary translated by the authors into Russian, and also taken from the personal e-mail correspondence of the authors of the Encyclopedia with astronauts and astronauts from Russia, Europe and America and other persons involved to astronautics.", and further states, "The history of astronautics continues, the site is constantly evolving, and, for sure, this is not the latest version. And you, too, can help in the development of the project by simply sharing interesting information with us or even becoming one of the authors of the site.".
While possibly acceptable at ruwiki, maybe for even for "non-contentious claims" here, the editorial process is questionable, especially as a reliable source concerning notability. Otr500 (talk) 10:21, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. I'm not seeing any good sources in my searching. Mostly I'm seeing indiscriminate lists (who was born on July 24th, famous people with the initials BB, etc), and rehashes of wikipedia articles, including things like this which masquerade as books. The problem with all this (and why I added the weak qualifier) is that good sources are more likely to be found in Russian, which I'm not qualified to search or evaluate. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:29, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I got bupkis running a Google search for the name in Russian, both with full name and patronymic and with just initials. I then went to the Russian WP page, which has no footnotes whatsoever, but links to THIS in the external links section — seemingly imported in full as the whole of the Russian WP article. This appears to be a blog. The second external link is to THIS biographical piece at www.space.hobby.ru — also a blog. Third link is to THIS biography. None of these three biographical internet sources point to footnotes; all seem to be derivative of one another. In my opinion, this fails GNG for an article at English WP, but I would not be adverse to flipping my opinion if someone can point to some actual news coverage of the subject.

A visual artist with some really neat artwork, but frankly I'm not seeing the required coverage. By my count, there's one solid review [6], four exhibition catalogues, and six passing mentions. I'm not getting the impression that the exhibitions were "significant" or are a permanent part of "notable galleries" sensu WP:NARTIST. One more solid review might push it over the threshold, but I can't find that, and currently I'd say we are just about on the wrong side of notability. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:39, 15 March 2020 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:39, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Erk, you are not making this easy... the first strikes me as a mention. The second may be more what's needed because it discusses the individual artists a bit more. The third is a specific review, but I'm not sure to what extent the UBC Undergraduate Journal of Art History & Visual Culture counts as solid coverage. Still, I may be too picky.

Comment I would tend to say she is notable in a weak way, although I have not checked the sources. The problem was that this was so hard to see, given the huge swaths of descriptive text for every tiny little show she has done. I have trimmed those.

I've done an independent search; I would say weak delete based on the fact that the coverage is pretty superficial. There is an obvious effort here to puff up a very young artist whose accomplishments are fairly average for an artist. WP:TOOSOON.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:26, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh. <rant> Why is it that we HAVE to delete completely harmless articles on women artists with just too little coverage, but we leave the hundreds of articles on soccer players with no coverage beyond an entry in some sports database alone. How is it that on a given day last week, 855 articles were created: 240 biographies of men, 155 of those on (male) sportspeople and 50 biographies of women. And yet, we feel compelled to delete the bios of women where it's just a little bit too soon. Yes, it's too early for this emerging artist to have an encyclopedic article, but can we get our priorities right, please?</rant> Vexations (talk) 17:18, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are not wrong... I'd also like to have easier notability thresholds for academics, who at this time basically have to put in a lifetime of stellar work to qualify, whereas Chad A. Ballkicker just has to take a dive in one national game to become Notable^(tm) (that is, gain the patronage of WP's most pile-on-capable Wikiproject). - However, as an NPPer who at least aspires to impartiality, for the time being I'm trying to follow our guidelines. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:56, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't agree that it is harmless. For an artist at such an early stage of their career it is essentially using Wikipedia for promotion. I think this is about keeping the quality up. That said, we could keep all article on artists if we got as many editors interested in artists as there are interested in football, which apparently has a much lower standard for inclusion. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:49, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As important as it is to improve our coverage of underrepresented groups, we can't do that by creating special lowered notability standards for women (or people of colour, LGBTs, etc.), so that they basically get articles just for existing while only straight white men actually have to clear any objective standard of notability or sourceability. The key is to identify the women who do pass our notability standards but have been getting overlooked, not to waive our notability standards just because the subject happens to be a woman.

Also, it isn't useful to compare apples to oranges. The notability standards in sports are based on how sports works, and the notability standards in visual arts are based on how visual arts works — so it's not useful to compare an artist to an athlete as evidence that the artist is being treated unfairly. If you want to make a gender-based argument that a female artist is being railroaded, you need to compare her to male artists, not to soccer players of any gender. Bearcat (talk) 13:54, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not pass notability standards. I am the first to say our current sports notability criteria are rubbish. I am currently limited to one deletion nomination a day and if you look at how that came about it was because I nominated lots of soccer players for deletion, that is the proximate cause. The enthusiasm with which empty articles on soccer players are created and preserved is very distressing. This is no reason though to have other unsourced articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:41, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - A really interesting, timely artist, but the article is lacking and seems like it might be a case of TOOSOON. However I did look at her CV on her website (which I know does not count toward notability) and there seem to be some awards and possibly some SIGCOV that are not in the article. Will try to take a deeper look into these before casting an !vote to see if any are worth adding to the article. Seems there are no collections, tho, but I'll see if any turn up.

In this report korra has an official social media page under LA modelling, where she has 72k followers , to be known by over 72 people is surely a notability. and here https://www.36ng.ng/2020/02/12/korra-obidis-daughter-signed-to-international-modelling-agency/

I am sorry to say some people are just tagging article for deletion without deep search in google or elsewhere, and some are just voting delete without making inquiry, there are even alot of more news site that I left behind, to me this article stand a chance, User:Versace1608 and User:Johnpacklambert I will be glad if you will ask me any question about this meeting the criterion, remember if you did not ask, I will surly ask you to answer for my question, I want to look through your perspective point of view regarding your deletion opinion toward this article.

Comment @Versace1608: I look through you comment and I get to understand that you are not debating base on facts, you are are debating base on your self interest, there are significant coverage of this article on google search but you stated that eight among them are blogs, so my question here is please can you state and explain what a blog is? and explain the characteristics that those news web sites possesses which makes them a blog not a news sites? because to me I totally disagree with you, we all know what a blog is, so dont make false claim on everybody's watch, but I want to hear it from you and see it from your point of view.

If a reference is provided from a news website you dont have any right to say they are not independent, if you think they are, then take them to this WP:RD for verification, please I speak to you pleasantly, it is not all the articles that you tag deserve to be deleted, that is why it is placed here for consensus, if good references facts support an article, please confess. If this article is left undeleted or deleted you and me have nothing in return, but one thing I know is it does not deserve to be deleted, that is why I am here.

Furthermore, here are another references to build my facts, I advise you to make deep research again because there is alot of news websites discussing about this article.

@Anasskoko: I am not debating on any self-interest. I've repeatedly said the subject fails WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO and WP:NMODEL. Since you believe she is notable, you need to tell us which criterion she meets. The sources you've provided doesn't show her passing any of the three notability criteria. The second bunch of sources you cited here is laughable to say the least. Take a look at this source closely, the headline reads: "Pregnancy Makes Me Love My Boobs, Backside – Korra Obidi". How exactly is this source a reliable source? Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 00:59, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Versace1608: Oh my god! my question is not answered, you are just beating around the bush, I know you have said this earlier, Just answer my question, please can you state and explain what a blog is? and explain the characteristics that those news web sites possesses which makes them a blog not a news sites? from your last comment you made mention of reference 5 as unreliable, lets make it clear, eliminate reference 5 from the equation, remain 16 references to deal with, explain? remember! by saying they are unreliable does not carry any weights, you need physical evidence, either from wikipedia by laws or from their characteristic, or any evidence you can find but not from your self interest. I even think of adding more references then I realize that you are not ready to prove the previous ones unworthy. Thank You. An@ss_koko^{(speak up)}^©T® 08:47, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Anasskoko: Blog sources are self-published sources that primarily focus on gossip and trivial stories. The Naijapalaba source you cited here is a self-published blog source. The website's About Us page doesn't show it having any editorial oversight. The site claims to have editors but do not named them; Naijapalaba is a content farm site at best.

P.M News is a reliable source. However, this particular piece is simply an announcement of the subject and her husband witnessing the birth of their first child; it doesn't establish her as a notable figure. For crying out loud, people are not notable simply because they have a baby.

Information Nigeria is an unreliable source that relies on gossip. The stories they published here, here and here are not encyclopedic material. Newszander is not a reliable source; this particular piece they publish about the subject's comments on marriage is not encyclopedic and doesn't establish her as a notable act. Someone isn't notable simply because they believe that being married is not an achievement for a lady.

The Punch is a credible source. However, this particular piece cannot be used to establish notability since it isn't independent of the subject.

BellaNaija is a credible blog source; however, this particular piece is simply a press release about the subject's "50/50" single. The song itself fails WP:NSONG. From the source, we learned that the subject has released one EP and has plans of releasing another. I did a Google search of both EPs and do not see them being discussed in reliable sources.

36NG is a self-published blog source that lacks editorial oversight. This story they published about the subject sharing photos of herself with her newborn daughter or this one about said daughter inking a deal with a modeling agency cannot be used to establish notability. Personal life info cannot be used to establish someone's notability.

Valid Updates is a self-publish gossip source; this particular piece they published is not encyclopedic and does nothing to establish the subject as a notable figure.

News Express Nigeria is a questionable source that lacks editorial oversight. This particular piece they published is garbage and does nothing to establish the subject as a notable figure.

1st News is not a credible source. A website that allows anyone to write for them is not credible. This particular piece is the same recycled story about the subject's delivery. It does nothing to establish the subject as a notable figure. People are not notable simply because there are photos and videos of them delivering their child.

Nigeriana is not a credible source. Again, any website that allows anyone to write for them is not credible. None of the stories here establishes the subject as a notable figure.

Pearl News is not a credible source; it is a self-published blog source that lacks editorial oversight. As I already pointed out, this garbsge does not belong in an encyclopedia.

This is another garbage published by Nigeria News Headlines Today. Tell me how does looking at a picture of the subject spreading her legs encyclopedic?

Legit News is probably a credible source, but this particular piece is the same recycled story about the subject's and her husband witnessing the birth of their first child.

You've provided a lot of sources here, but none of them validates the subject's notability. You need to show us how she meets the requirements outlined in WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO and WP:NMODEL; do not waste time linking a whole bunch of unreliable sources. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 11:12, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Versace1608: Good and fine, according to your defination you said that "focus on gossip and trivial stories" the websites are all in news format having authors/reporters as I stated earlier, none of them are gossip or trivial story reporters, in the news websites I provided, they have news headlings, author/reporter, date and is written in news format, lets the general public judge this one, here is a report about Anthony Joshua a boxer when he meet president Muhammadu Buhari in London, BBC and naijapalaba have a report on this, so lets compare and contrast and see, here is BBC report https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-51181203 and here is Naijapalaba report, https://naijapalaba.com/anthony-joshua-british-boxer-prostrates-before-buhari-in-london-photo/ , so please click and see, what is the difference between the two in term of news qualities, only that BBC is far popular and better than naijapalaba, by seeing this you will get to understand my point, what I am saying here is, Naijapalaba.com is a news website compared to others , so don't waste our time by saying the sites are not reliable or blogs, you need prove or we shall take the 16 references to reference desk for verification of the sites, if the websites are blogs or news webssites we shall see then.

Also according to the law provided by Wikipedia under this WP:NEXIST and this WP:NPOSSIBLE it also pass. An@ss_koko^{(speak up)}^©T® 11:14, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Anasskoko: Just because these websites are in "news format" doesn't make them reliable. P.M News, The Punch and BellaNaija are the only reliable sources from that bunch. All of the remaining sources are not reliable. Headings, author/reporter, and news format are not notability markers; those sources are not notable because they lack editorial oversight. Please do not compare Naijapalaba with BBC. Naijapalaba is nowhere near close to being a reliable source. Apart from posting gossip stories, Naijapalaba has zero editorial oversight despite claiming to have editors. Feel free to take all 16 references to the reference desk. While you're at it, don't forget to link the garbage stories these websites publish on a daily basis. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 13:43, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A book that appears to fail WP:NBOOK. The phrase "Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict" appears to be a popular phrase to use for titles, as I found sources on several different, unrelated books with the same name, most notably one published by MIT Press. However, for this particular one, edited by Charles Cozic and published by Greenhaven Press, I was able to find very little. Its mentioned in the footnotes/bibliographies of a couple other books, but I cannot find any actual coverage or reviews of the book itself. It survived an AFD once, but that was way back in 2006, and the Keep rationale is not in line with current Wikipedia policy. Rorshacma (talk) 19:22, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I was also unable to find any coverage. At the least, one would expect Google to turn up some academic book reviews.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:
A book is notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:
1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.
Here are two reviews about the subject:
1. Monks, Merri (1994-06-01). "Booklist Review: Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict". Booklist. 90 (19–20): 1795. ISSN 0006-7385. Archived from the original on 2020-03-22.
  The review says "this collection of 41 short essays drawn from a variety of sources is arranged thematically into five topical chapters" and calls the book "[a]n effective page format includes boxed quotations that can pique reader interest."
2. Johnston, Judy R. (March 1994). "Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict". School Library Journal. 40 (3): 244. ISSN 0362-8930.
  The review calls the book "A timely look at contemporary world problems" and says, "Many of the authoritative essays on nationalism are scholarly and overburdened with sophisticated vocabulary, while articles and interviews on ethnic violence in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, and the Arab world are compelling and at times gruesome. A challenging but nonetheless excellent resource for research or debate students."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Keep per WP:NEXIST and WP:ARTN: The Monk is one of Batman's earliest villains, and apart from being a supervillain, he's also a vampire. There are a lot of independent sources discussing the character:
- "Batman's Identity Crisis and Wittgenstein's Family Resemblance" by Jason Southworth, in Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of the Soul, John Wiley and Sons (2008), pg 158
- The Encyclopedia of Vampires, Werewolves, and Other Monsters by Rosemary Guiley, Facts on File (2004), pg 73
- The Vampire Gallery: A Who's Who of the Undead by J. Gordon Melton, Visible Ink (1998), pg 291
- The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead by J.Gordon Melton, Visible Ink (2010), pg 47
- The Complete Vampire Companion by Rosemary Guiley and J.B. Macabre, Macmillan (1994), pg 146
- Batman Unmasked: Analyzing a Cultural Icon by Will Brooker, University of Michigan Press (2000), pg 50
- Superhero: The Secret Origin of a Genre by Peter Coogan, Monkey Brain Books (2006), pg 72 & 105

I believe that this demonstrates notability. I've put these links on the page in a Further reading section so that editors who want to improve the article can use them as resources. -- Toughpigs (talk) 16:36, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As with the deletion nomination for Doctor Death, the real issue with both articles is that they are poorly written and do not cite all the necessary sources. Apart from the above, mentioned literary sources, the character appeared in 15 issues (not much but reasonable), as sith many character articles, information can also be taken from professional reviews/analysis of the the character's major appearance in Batman and the Mad Monk as such review also offer some small things such as characterisation, legacy, and possible influences on the character. This can all be done without the use of primary sources. With all of this in mind, my suggestion is that the article should just be rewritten rather than outright deleted or redirected.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:55, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Death (comics)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article is failing to establish notability like many others with only primary sources not secondary sources. The sources either prove Batman is notable or supervillain is but not the character at all. I don’t want to delete. Just merge and get all the cruft all the way. When I boldly try. I just get that I should have discussed it with the editor who reverted the bold edit a simply because I believe he likes the topic and is an inclusionist on stand alones. That’s misguided logic. He wants me to discuss it so all the articles he liked can obviously stay. He reverted twice but the second time he added see also citations. I tried merge requests before and they are not active enough. They do nothing. So here I am doing a forbidden AFD because I feel I created a list article that could preserve these characters that don’t quite meet requirement. But now the list article I created is more useless but that won’t matter because articles according to the editor should not be redirected / merged. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 16:28, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These list ideas don't make sense. DC Comics have been in continuous publication for more than 80 years; there are way too many "major characters" and "minor characters" to even be listed on one page by name, let alone with any kind of depth. It sounds like you want to create a list page just for the sake of making a list page.

Your entire rationale for redirecting this page is so that it can go to a list page that you admit is still a half-baked idea.

Keep Looking over the character and their appearances in the comics, the real issue with the page is citations and writing, which it really needs a rewrite/revision in my opinion. The character is significant enough as they are one of the very first villains Batman faced during the Golden Era, and they have appeared in a total of 19 issues (not much but reasonable). Doing a little bit of digging, there are additional literary sources that can be added tot he article (I have found a total of 5 and there may be more). In all, the amount of information available on the character suggests that it should be kept and have some work done on it, rather than simply deleting or redirecting it.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:55, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete because the nominator is wanting to WP:MERGE this content and is mistakenly using the WP:AFD process to accomplish this. It's hard to merge when the article gets deleted. There is no merge target established in the nomination statement. If it is going to be the nominator's own personal list List of DC Comics major characters, then I oppose that entirely because that list has no true inclusion criteria established, this particular character is not "major", and the list is very likely inappropriately redundant when other better lists exist, like List of Batman family enemies. But how is that to be decided on this page? Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 12:40, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The page should be moved to a list. If the page history has consensus to be deleted then so be it. Also the List of DC Comics major characters page was not planned to be a major character page forever.

John Trevena (lawyer)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Biography of an attorney that does not meet WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO and also fails WP:BLP1E, WP:BLPCRIME and WP:NOTPROMO. This attorney has had some high-profile cases, but coverage of those cases is not in-depth coverage of the attorney. The attorney also had a domestic violence charge, which was dropped, and followed by a lawsuit. That coverage, however, is all local, and doesn't confer notability per BLP1E and BLPCRIME. Trevena, a private attorney, is not a "public figure", despite having some cases that received media attention. Levivich ^{[dubious – discuss]} 16:12, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a WP:POINTy nomination. Regarding the article: The subject passes WP:SIGCOV: the article has 21 reliable sources which include both regional and national news organizations. There is also international coverage which is not yet in the article: (BBC) (the Irish Times). News organizations regularly refer to the subject (John Trevena) as a High Profile Attorney. If the AfD participants feel that the subject fails WP:BLP1E, WP:BLPCRIME for his domestic abuse charges which were later dropped, the section can be removed WP:NOTCLEANUP. The attorney will be no less notable without the section. Contrary to the opinion of the nominator the subject is a public figure. High profile lawyers are notable for high profile cases and this lawyer has had many. Lightburst (talk) 20:38, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP He doesn't just get mentioned and quoted as being the lawyer in notable cases. They talk about things dealing with him personally. [12] [13] That and being a notable part of cases deemed notable enough already to have their own Wikipedia articles, means he is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. Dream Focus 23:30, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep: so-called international coverage cited by Lightburst is just a couple of passing mentions and short quotes. WP:ROUTINE applies. However, some of the coverage is more substantiative and I think he just skates by GNG. b uidhe 10:10, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I disagree. He did an entire interview with an international media outlet such as Vice. Vice is a WP:RS and they call him an "InfoSec celebrity". I also argue that the mention in the Forbes article is more than a passion mention, they tell multiple facts about his life and business. Bruce Schneier endorses his commentary. In other articles, he is being cited as a source too. In summary, he passes WP:N. (ping @Largoplazo:) Dwaro (talk) 12:31, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why you pinged me. All I did was capitalize his name, give his full name (with a source), and remove an external link. Also, pinging doesn't work if you add the ping after you've already saved your edit with your signature. I learned about the AFD because the article's on my watchlist.

To be clear: Being a source (with the exception of a scholarly work abundantly cited by others) doesn't contribute to notability. So, for example, we completely discount even numerous sources that say "Beanie Beemus of Sharknado Corporation said, '...'" and nothing more about Beanie Beemus when assessing the notability of Beanie Beemus. Consider that if I'm a journalist, and I sometimes write about cryptocurrencies, and I've been put in touch with someone who's knowledgeable about cryptocurrencies, I may consult with that person time and time again for info I need for the articles I'm writing. That means I know them, and that they're happy to keep commenting for the record because it puts their name out there in print (free publicity), not that they're notable.

Also, interviews are generally considered to be people talking about themselves, not independent sources. Largoplazo (talk) 12:46, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete stacking up a bunch of snippet coverage like "the security researcher known as The Grugq tweeted on Tuesday, reacting to the news." is like presenting shards of broken glass in lieu of a complete sheet and can not be the basis of a significant coverage.

Pharaoic

Article on a "Social Media Star & Entrepreneur" referenced to his own website and spammy PR blogs; see for example [14] we align the next generation of creatives with the right mentors and connections to succeed, [15] His passion for helping people in all aspects of online marketing flows through in the expert industry coverage he provides. Could not find any better sources through WP:BEFORE. Article claims "millions" of followers but he has an unimpressive 70k followers on Instagram and only 68(!) on twitter.

*Redirect to Power of Three for now, also consider incubation in draftspace. It is currently a bunch of indiscriminate information, but I can find some promise in it. Nevertheless, it in its current form doesn't qualify (yet) for an article. I have created a draft here at Draft:Power of three. If there is no promise, I would kill it by G7, but draftify for now. tLoM (The Lord of Math) (Message) 13:20, 14 March 2020 (UTC) I did a bunch of research, apparently it has pretty much no interesting properties that can be found. Mathematicians usually look into powers of 2 separately as 2 has a very special status in number theory as an even prime. Powers of 3 are usually considered together with powers of other primes (e.g. powers of 5) in nearly all cases except in some scenarios in which powers of 3 have a unique property (such as being perfect totient numbers. In anuy case, powers of 3 are, quite surprisingly, not notable enough for Wikipedia. tLoM (The Lord of Math) (Message) 03:49, 16 March 2020 (UTC) [reply]

Having done more research, let me iterate my view. Consider the articles Power of 3 with the two other existing articles, Power of 2 and power of 10. I shall look into why powers of 3 are much less notable than powers of 2 or 10.
Powers of 2 are very commonly used in digital computation - you keep hearing of stuff from 16-bit to 2048-bit, and hard disks can bbe 256MB but never 243MB. This point requires pretty much no further explanation. Powers of 2, being related very heavily with the binomial coefficients (see the article), and also as a special class of prime powers, have an extremely special status. I can go on for pages about how important powers of 2 are as compared to powers of any other number. In short, powers of 2 are often discussed separately from powers of other primes, for example in the discussion of primitive root modulo n.

Powers of 10 occur prominently as we use the base 10. The powers of 10 are particularly simple, and we usually start with base 10 before moving on to other bases for maths considerations. These powers occur readily in these analyses problems, and they are the main features of scientific notation. Powers of 10 also have their applications (e.g. [16]), but the importance of these powers of 10 comes from our use of base 10. When we say that "123456" has 6 digits, we are referring to base 10, and the powers of 10 already appeared in the statement in the form 10^6-1≤123456<10⁶.

for instance, we use base 10 for the naming of numbers, and our familiar "large number" naming comes from powers of 10. When we say that "123456" has 6 digits, and say that it is "one hundred and twenty-three thousand four hundred and fifty-six", we are referring to base 10, and the powers of 10 already appeared in the statement in the form 10^6-1≥123456<10⁶.

- To conclude, I acknowledge that powers of 3 have many applications, including in Cantor set discussions and items like hypercubes and so, but its real-life applications are much less extensive than powers of 2 and 10. Powers of 2 are used extensively in computation and appeared in PlanetMath. Powers of 10 appear commonplace and are one of the first large numbers we meet, as one of the most commonly used in discussions. Powers of 3 may be used in the game Tower of Hanoi and in discussions related to Hypercubes, but its uses are limited. tLoM (The Lord of Math) (Message) 02:49, 18 March 2020 (UTC) Keep.

Aman (Tolkien)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Another minor place from the Tolkienverse that is all WP:PLOT and seems to fail GNG/WP:NFICTION. The sources imply there is "more", but they are either primary or incorrect. I checked Tolkien Encyclopedia and it does not have an entry for Aman; page 377 has an entry for "Languages of Aman" which does not discuss the fictional place. Tolkien: The Illustrated Encyclopaedia does have an entry for Aman, but it is a short paragraph that's 100% plot, see [17]. As for The Dictionary of Imaginary Places, I cannot get access to a copy to confirm what's written there, so I'd appreciate if someone could comment, but I very much doubt it goes beyond a plot summary. BEFORE for other sources reveal only brief plot summaries. It does not appear this fictional place has been analyzed in any significant way.

Well, it's easy to agree that the article is in a sorry state without scholarly citations. However, Aman is important for an understanding of the Geography of Middle-earth, which at the moment is a sad little paragraph of five short sentences inside Middle-earth; what is needed is a full-length Geography article with a substantial section on Aman and an explanation of how the world changed from flat (men could sail to Valinor on "The Lost Straight Road") to round (the seas are now "sundered" and sailing just takes men's ships round and round the earth; quite the earth-melting geological disturbance, to say the least). So, at the bare minimum, a merge (soft redirect) would work; it implies that the target Geography of Middle-earth becomes an actual article, from the current redirect. There are plenty of scholarly sources on Middle-earth's geography, and indeed plenty on Tolkien's treatment of Heaven, Paradise, (Im)mortality, and the Afterlife. That might indeed enable someone to write a decent article on Aman, I'll think whether I want to mount a rescue effort, though all that should be necessary right now to save the article would be a list of half-a-dozen good sources. One is

- @Chiswick Chap: Are you sure about that page count? Google preview for the index of the 2014 edition lists Aman as mentioned on pages 232, 249, 287 and 288. More worrisome is that I couldn't find any discussion of Aman on those pages ouside a passing mention here and there, all pure WP:PLOT. Did you find any in-depth discussion in your edition on the pages you list? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:27, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the pages are correct for the 2005 edition. There are ALSO isolated pages 263 and 283, but this is the section I have named which is about the topic (origins in Atlantis, Pearl, Irish 'Imram' tales; reshaping of the earth).

Hammond & Scull note that Tolkien used many names for Aman: Blessed Realm, Far West, Otherworld, True West, Undying Lands, Uttermost West, the West, World's End; and it contains two major parts: the elves' Eldamar, and the Valar's Valimar or Valinor (this last discussed by many scholars). All of these are potential search terms. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:50, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chiswick Chap, are you confusing Valinor and Aman (Tolkien)? I have Tolkien Encyclopedia, I checked it and it doesn't discuss Aman except passing mentions in 2-3 places (including in the entries you mentioned). But those are mentions in passing and purely plot summaries. You can't seriously argue that a source that discusses Valinor can be used to keep Aman because they are related. WP:NOTINHERITED. Such concepts can be discussed in a geography article, we don't need fancrufty, 100% plot-based subarticles that do nothing but recount fictional plot. But please, if I missed it, do spell it out - better, please quote - content which discusses Aman not as a plot summary but through some sort of scholarly analysis. Such as "Aman is a metaphor for..." or "In constructing Aman, Tolkien used real world poem X and legend of Z".--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:46, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Valinor is a major part of Aman". Which is exactly the point WP:NOTINHERITED is concerned with.

See below. Purely for the record, you'd be 100% right, but for the fact, which I was gradually creeping up on realizing when I wrote the above reply, that Tolkien himself used "Aman" when he meant "Valinor".

Absolutely no Googlehitting has been attempted! The sources have already been used complete with paraphrasing and quotations to demonstrate actual scholarly interest. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:01, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chiswick Chap, I didn't realize you expanded the article with Aman_(Tolkien)#Reception. I read it now, it is a valuable section and I commend you on adding this information, but... errr... I can't help but notice it doesn't even mention (currently) the word Aman. I certainly think the section you wrote needs to be preserved somewhere in this project, but I still don't think the sources you found are about Aman. NOTINHERITED remains a concern; as far as I can tell, Aman is not significantly relevant to those discussions. Ex. "The Tolkien scholar Michael D. C. Drout comments that Tolkien's accounts of Eldamar "give us a good idea of his conceptions of absolute beauty,"[7] and notes that these resemble the paradise described in the Middle English poem Pearl. " All nice and encyclopedic and I am seeing zero connection to Aman. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:05, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop messing with my username. Eldamar is a major part of Aman. Analogy: a book on London's importance as a business centre is a valid source for a discussion of England's economy. Glad you've noted the contribution, thanks for that. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:14, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Valinor, the sources found are good, if a little plot-focused, but they confer notability onto Valinor, not Aman, similar to the situation with Rohan and Rhovanion. This is exactly the sort of situation where NOTINHERITED applies. Devonian Wombat (talk) 10:37, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added Kelly & Livingston 2009 which explicitly compares Númenor's attempt to capture Aman to the story of the Tower of Babel (men try to reach heaven, get destroyed). You won't need lots of block capitals for that. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:54, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I wonder if Lewis' off hand mention that one who wants to understand Numenor and the True West should consult Tolkien's work found in That Hideous Strength could function as a secondary source. It would not seem a substantial one. However I think we need to make sure our searches for sources bear in mind that even though Tolkien did not use Aman widely, he has lots of mentions to this place. Such as the fact he refers to it as Faerie in the Hobbit.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:57, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep I do have to admit that part of me wonders at the reliance on one scholar to explore Aman and Elbareth as the female opposition to the male Mordor and Sauron. I would really like to see evidence that multiple schoalrs have supported the ideas bounced around. However this has clearly been the subject of scholarly discussion so we need to keep it. Editing is probably in order, deletion is not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge in some way with Valinor. I do not think two seperate articles are justified. Probably in the long run merge Valinor in here, but either way will work. I do not think we have enough secondary discussion to justify two articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:02, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- This article at present has much better secondary sourced discussion than Valinor. I do have to say, I would like these secondary source discussions more if we had a much broader base of discussion or evidence that the people making statements about themes were doing more than just spouting their only individual interpretations of the text.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:03, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: Well, I think I've finally found the answer here. The Encyclopedia of Arda (not itself an RS) quotes Tolkien on Aman: "Chiefly used as the name of the land in which the Valar dwelt [i.e. Valinor]." (Tolkien, J. R. R. Quendi and Eldar. {{cite book}}: |work= ignored (help)) It rightly points out that "Chiefly" is a bit of a giveaway: Tolkien is accepting that he used "Aman" inconsistently, but stating that most of the time he was referring not to Aman-the-whole-continent but to its most important constituent, Valinor (something like saying "the Palace" when you mean "the King", a suspicion that had been growing on me): and since the Elves had been allowed to live there, that land included Eldamar. It seems that even Tolkien found this confusing, so I think we are all forgiven in this case. We should merge this with Valinor, mentioning that "Aman" is also the name of the continent.

      - The individual characters listed here are no more notable than the ones listed in List of Bionicle characters. However, the general concept of Bionicle Toa is, so it should be merged to Bionicle. JIP | Talk 19:35, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        Bionicle would theoretically be the next target in line however I disagree that a merge is needed. More likely the information on the entire character list, including this central subset, was spread out too much. Our documents often became too wordy. Editors tend to add information by asking if they know anything else rather than by asking if something is missing. That annoys the glance readers who then claim it is lifcruft because this was in their sample. I believe that a deeper and broader discussion can do wonders. Often these are started after a closure as keep. Not sure how this will close but I always support what works best for Wikipedia. gidonb (talk) 21:53, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the article fails WP:GNG, with there being only one source that might constitute progress towards notability.

Bio of a lawyer, created by a WP:SPA, likely an undisclosed WP:PAID/WP:COI. Crucially, seems to fail WP:NBIO. I don't see a single in-depth coverage (a numnber mention in passing, as he is briefly quoted in a number of news stories as a lawyer involved in some cases that attracted media attention). There is effectively nothing to be said about him outside which cases he represented, the bio for him is unreferenced (through I would expect it could be referenced to PRIMARY SPS sources like his company's page).

Redirect to Space station as a plausible search term. Ideally that article should have 'in fiction' subsection which is currently missing. Maybe I will create one. Or maybe User:Toughpigs or someone else will. I concur that there is no evidence of this DICTDEF being even so much as discussed in media, I am not seeing the term having a dedicated entry in any encyclopedia of sf or literature. It can exist of wiktionary I guess, but for us it fails at WP:NFICTION/GNG.

I don't agree that "out of date" is a valid reason for deletion. Another way of saying that is "historical information" and historical information is exactly what should be in an encyclopaedia. Note that the rationale for deleting the 1998 article was not that we should not have this information, but that the article data was wildly wrong due to the faulty way the page had been created. However, I don't think it is helpful to have an individual article on each year's UN report. Far more encyclopaedic would be trending information over the years. The Human Development Index already contains summaries of each report going back to 2013 and that is probably what should happen here. SpinningSpark 17:42, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - this article was created yesterday, less than 24 hours ago. Perhaps it needs a little more time for the article creator to develop it or for a WP:BEFORE. Netherzone (talk) 22:59, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment For the original nom, articles are not assessed based on the number of search results that come up after Googling them. For obvious reasons, this is a poor criteria as you may get tens of thousands of results for inconsequential searches, and some noteworthy topics may not receive a particularly large amount of search results. See Wikipedia:Search_engine_test#Notability. Instead, articles should be assessed based on the criteria such as WP:GNG. IphisOfCrete (talk) 21:58, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The nomination rationale is flawed, as IphisOfCrete points out. WP:GOOGLEHITS says that we shouldn't count search engine hits as a measure of notability. The thing that matters is independent coverage in reliable sources. I looked on Newspapers.com and found two articles specifically about Webber and her work:
- "Tough, yet tender at the centre: Webber's heroine struggles through range of issues related to her time and age" by Verne Clemence, Saskatoon Star-Phoenix (May 27, 2000)
- "Labour History Story Brought to Life on Stage" by Matt Olson, The Regina Leader-Post (April 27, 2019)

In addition to the sources already used in the article, I think that's enough to demonstrate notability per WP:NEXIST. I added these links to the article in a Further reading section so that people who want to improve the article can use them as sources. -- Toughpigs (talk) 22:29, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Someone was remarking that they thought Jennifer Wynne Webber did not have a high enough number of search engine results. However, under Invalid Criteria it states, “Avoid criteria based on search engine statistics (for example, Google hits or Alexa ranking), or measuring the number of photos published online.” JE1110 (talk) 23:34, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:Citations and additional articles have been added which support notability. Many articles and reviews of Webber's earlier work are from 2000 and 2001 and are not available online and so there was some question about how to cite those. Also, the nomination for removal based on lack of Google hits does not seem to be a valid reason to support deletion, particularly in the case of women playwrights who are often less known and therefore less Googled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by McASah3637 (talk • contribs) 22:06, 10 March 2020 (UTC) P.S.

Some of the sources are even news articles solely focused on the article subject or her work, which goes above the minimum WP:GNG and WP:BASIC requirements; in my opinion the strongest of these are the Nanaimo Bulletin and Saskatoon Express articles. Now that these improvements have been made to the page, it seems clear that article does not fail WP:NBIO. - Astrophobe (talk) 21:28, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Benchmark School

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

promotional and nonnotable. Even at the height of accepting school articles, we very rarely accepted articles on schools below the secondary level. This is such a school, and the contents indicates why that was and remains a good practice.

There are only two alumni with Wikipedia article, the list of "top colleges attended by Benchmark Graduates" is promotional , and the list of school clubs & other school assemblies suchas their Ice Cream Social of no interest to anyone not a student or prospective student.

And there does not appear to be a single third party reference. I considered draftifying, but there's really no prospect of an article. DGG ( talk ) 08:43, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Benchmark School goes up to 8th grade, so that is secondary education. Plenty of precedent from schools that include middle school. This wikipedia page has existed for 3+ years without any notability concerns. Already outside sources included. More could be added, but it's not just from the school.Pennsylvania2 (talk) 22:52, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

8th grade in the US is normally considered junior high school, not high school, and we have almost never accepted an article on them. Nor should we, based upon the material and references in this article. The outside sources to which you refer are local suburban newspapers from the area of the school. That's exactly he sort of local sources that do not prove notability. DGG ( talk ) 23:34, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete To be even maybe default notable a school must be a high school. That means for the US it must cover 10-12 grades, often 9th, but a school that covers 9th without 10th we will rule as needing to pass extraordinary notability guidelines. This clearly does not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:46, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bearian I don't think it affects your argument but just as a heads up your third source doesn't mention the Benchmark School, but the concept of "benchmark schools". Best, GPL93 (talk) 23:05, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no RS exists to show that this is a populated legally recognized place. Also the topo map reveals a river which may or may not qualify for an article. However this does not. Lightburst (talk) 02:21, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Evking22, putting a link to a topo map that says "Camp Flat Rock" on it does in fact prove this exists, congratulations! What it does not do is establish notability: WP:NGEO says "This guideline specifically excludes maps and various tables from consideration when establishing topic notability, because these sources often establish little except the existence of the subject." It's a camp, yes: 1955 blurb, 1959 blurb, but not a notable "unincorporated community". Reywas92^Talk 03:20, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not a named natural feature or permanently populated place, so WP:GEOLAND does not apply. The location would then have to pass WP:GNG, and the brief coverage found is mostly run of the mill announcements, which do not have the depth used to establish notability. Hog Farm (talk) 18:43, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
delete I must correct one mistake: this is not the current YMCA camp, which is on the other side of St. Paul. I have however located this passage from a history of the county which is clearly about the correct location. It states that the Camp Flat Rock started out as something of a picnic grove and evolved into a local park, which was eventually taken over by the Boy Scouts and then sold to a family which apparently operated it as a campground for some years after. It was never a settlement and its fame appears to have been purely local. Mangoe (talk) 02:10, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
