Article has been denied multiple times in the Articles for Creation process. However, it had been moved to the mainspace by the creator in disregard of the issues raised. Namely, it is my and previous reviewers' stance that the subject does not meet the general notability guideline. Most of the text and sources are obituary-like and the salvageable content would better fit as a part or section in another article. The article was similarly deleted on the Farsi Wikipedia.

  • Delete. I'm not seeing any coverage that stands out as being independent, significant, and reliable, so I don't think that the GNG is met. My searches aren't finding any additional sources, although I'm always glad to reëvaluate if something more can be identified. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:58, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Well sourced and passes notability. [[1]] Let's also not be to fast to exclude sources that Americans or Westerners may discount due to the fact many of these regions have no media. This is. An example of that [[2]]

Fails WP:BIO. No significant coverage. Created by a single purpose editor so possible WP:AUTOBIO. LibStar (talk) 23:00, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The article is based entirely on 1st party sourcing. (Best source is the Forbes interview, which is a series of softball questions followed by paragraphs from the subject.) Given that his claim to fame is a blog series that is shut down, and a YouTube channel with less than 3,000 subs, I don't think any better sources are likely to be found.

Fails WP:NSONG; I can't find any significant coverage of the song, and even the unreliable sources cited in the article are not about the song specifically. There doesn't seem to be a good merge/redirect target as this recording isn't on any notable release (though redirecting to potted shrimps as an alternative spelling/capitalisation of the dish is of course possible). Lennart97 (talk) 23:00, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not sure how I am supposed to reply to this so apologies if I'm doing it incorrectly. Although you are correct in saying that the music is not especially well known or significant within the Stones' catalogue, the whole reason that this is a useful entry on wiki is that when searching for information on it one does - as you noted - get sent to Potted Shrimps the food. So I feel that having this minor but helpful entry is well worthwhile for folks who are interested in the lesser known work of the Rolling Stones - which is actually quite a considerable body of people.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Malikbek (talk • contribs) 11:16, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Malikbek: I've correctly formatted your reply for you. You may want to check out WP:TALK and specifically WP:SIGN. As for Potted Shrimp, your argument for keeping this article boils down to "it's useful", which is not a valid reason to keep an article; lots of topics are of interest to some specific audience but not fit for inclusion on Wikipedia, because they fail Wikipedia's notability standards. This is the case for Potted Shrimp as well, unless you can show that is has in fact received signifcant independent coverage from reliable sources. Lennart97 (talk) 11:34, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thank you Lennart97. Reading "it's useful" it says If reasons are given, "usefulness" can be the basis of a valid argument for inclusion. An encyclopedia should, by definition, be informative and useful to its readers. I thought that my reasons above ought to be enough to show such usefulness and while by your definitions the tracks are not especially prominent, I would have thought that here the usefulness argument might be allowed to trump the notability one. I do understand that one shouldn't open an endless number of pages for entirely insignificant subjects, but the whole reason I wrote about this was that it was useful and to spend time consciously removing a referenced and genuinely useful - if niche - piece of information seems a little sad and unnecessary though I greatly admire you for taking the time and trouble to work on keeping wikipedia clean of rubbish.Malikbek (talk) 10:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • You're right that usefulness can be a valid reason for keeping an article, but the reasons you've given here are, in my opinion, very unlikely to trump our core notability guideline. We don't have to ultimately agree on this matter with each other, though – the decision to keep or delete will be made by an uninvolved administrator, weighing the strength of our arguments and those of any other participants in the discussion.

  • Redirect to List of songs recorded by the Rolling Stones. There is a passing mention here to verify it. The song is a brilliant kick-ass instrumental with 3/5 of the stones and Stephen Stills (and possibly Nicky Hopkins?) but that's not a reason to keep the article.

Not seeing any significant coverage in outside sources—a few passing mentions, but none of the stuff that guarantees notability.

@Qwaiiplayer: Forgive me, but I am somewhat confused. How is your proposed list article target, itself just a list of many countries in a table, "more specific" than the target I proposed which is 'specifically' about relations between the two countries in question (which is pertinent for an embassy)? Bungle (talk • contribs) 08:41, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bungle: The article is about the embassy, and the list has pertinent information about the embassy.

Not to be confused with List of recently extinct plants, which I think is a valid topic, a single-article list of every extinct plant ever described, including both fossil and recently extinct plants is unmaintainable, the article as is, is hopelessly incomplete. I could maybe see specific sublists like "List of extinct ferns" or "List of extinct conifers" being maintainable, but a single list of every extinct plant ever is just not encyclopedic. The list if close to being comprehensive, would be enormous, and difficult to navigate. We already have organised lists of plants described by year, see 2020 in paleobotany for an example. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:23, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Are there any plant species from the Jurassic say that aren't extinct? It would seem rather unlikely that a species could exist unchanged for hundreds of millions of years, I'd have thought. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:57, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not as far as I am aware. There are extant genera that have been around since the Jurassic, like Ginkgo, Sequoia, and Amentotaxus, but I don't think there are any extant species. There are some extant species that have been around for tens of millions of years, like Ginkgo biloba (see [4]) but they don't really get any older than the Paleogene. Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:07, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Having done some further reading, there are reports of the extant fern species Osmundastrum cinnamomeum extending into the Late Cretaceous, around 70 million years ago, [5] that's some extreme longevity, and certainly exceptional. Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:31, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is this a list of extinct genera, or extinct species? It seems to include both. Not that it really matters, since it seems to broad either way. AndyTheGrump (talk) 00:45, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
From reading, it's inconsistently both. Hemiauchenia (talk) 17:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Banksia#Evolution and fossil record is another notable example, imo. ~ cygnis insignis 03:12, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's a genus, rather than a species; important distinction in this particular case. LittleLazyLass (Talk | Contributions) 03:28, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pardon the indent level, it was an ad for them at the mention of ancient genera, to which I might add Wollemia and Cephalotus. ~ cygnis insignis 06:06, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:SALAT. Being extinct isn't a defining characteristic of a plant species or genera - almost all are. This is a 'list of plants', excluding a small subset, and as such impossibly broad in scope. WP:SALAT gives "list of brand names" as an example of a list "far too long to be of value", and this list is potentially at least capable of being far longer - the only reason it isn't is that Wikipedia isn't capable of compiling it. AndyTheGrump (talk) 00:45, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, to an extent, but the total number of extinct plant species that have actually been described is dwarfed by living plant species (which number approximately 320,000), because the vast majority of what once existed is not preserved in the fossil record. The list of extinct plants on their own is still very large, especially if we are counting pollen species. Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:57, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"If" it gets too long? I'm not sure you properly understand the scale at play with "every extinct plant". LittleLazyLass (Talk | Contributions) 22:32, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also it might make sense for recently extinct plants, but not for most extinct plants, many of which were extinct before the present land masses existed, let alone the countries. Peter coxhead (talk) 22:34, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well Category:Extinct plants divides them by continent, type, and time period. Dream Focus 22:43, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The earliest 'extinct plant' listed is Eorhynia, from the Late Silurian. Our article says that "Fossils were found in Podolia in modern Ukraine". Which continent would that be listed under? From what I can figure out (I'm no geologist, so may very well be wrong) the answer seems to be Baltica. How many of our readers have even heard of Baltica? AndyTheGrump (talk) 00:59, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think by this time Baltica had collided with Laurentia to form Laurussia, but your point still stands. It makes very little sense to group the pre-Cenozoic plants of the Indian subcontinent as those of Asia for instance, when it wasn't part of Asia during this time. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:10, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We know where the fossils were found in the modern era, so that's how they should be sorted. We can't accurately sort things by time period since you can't tell when a plant went extinct, only when the ones that left fossils died, others still living for countless years perhaps. Dream Focus 04:20, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Where fossils were found in the modern era is not any kind of defining feature of the fossil, and grouping in this way just tends to encourage pointless nationalism. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:00, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Last AfD was no consensus. fails WP:AUTHOR. no indepth coverage, no major awards won, no notable publications LibStar (talk) 22:21, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The subject is extremely notable as the world's leading expert on yodeling, with both reliable news articles stating this along with reviews in places like Library Journal. His books on yodeling have been published by extremely well regarded scholarly presses such as Routledge and the University of Wisconsin Press and he also wrote the entry on yodeling in Music Around the World: A Global Encyclopedia. In addition, he also appears to be notable for his non-yodeling writings, with his works excerpted and covered in anthologies such as Up Is Up, But So Is Down New York's Downtown Literary Scene, 1974-1992 from NYU Press. I have rewritten the article to add more of this information along with citations.--SouthernNights (talk) 12:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete just publishing doesn't make someone notable if their work isn't reviewed in independent sources. The only review currently cited in the article is this one and a very brief library journal review and I wasn't able to find more. Other than that the most significant independent coverage appears to be the hudsonvalleyone article, which isn't very substantial. Not quite enough for a GNG pass imo, although it's borderline. (t · c) buidhe 16:13, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I just added more reviews and coverage of the subject's works from Rolling Stone, American Book Review, Booklist, Wisconsin State Journal, Review of Contemporary Fiction, The New York Times, and Entertainment Weekly.

Wikipedia:ITEXISTS, so what? Yes it is a large earthquake (largest since ...), but without any lasting impacts whatsoever, it does not need an article. Also, this event was first published under 2020 Kuril Islands earthquake before being turned to a redirect. --Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 02:57, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: It's a well written article that seems to be notable enough. I see absolutely no pressing reason to get rid of it. Also, there's no special notability criteria for earthquakes, but my personal impression is anything 7.5 or higher should be presumed to be notable. It's a major geological event irrespective of where it happens. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 03:20, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're not getting the point, Wikipedia is not a catalog for every 7.5+ around the world regardles of if nothing happened. There really isn't anything notable about this event without any impacts or scientific interest. See Wikipedia:Notability (earthquakes) for a guide. --Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 04:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the link. The opinions shared in the essay seem to mirror my gut instinct: "M 7+ earthquakes are probably notable, but should meet additional criteria." The earthquake seems notable enough based on sources (i.e. [6][7]), notable enough based on magnitude (7.5), well written, and absolutely no pressing need to get rid of it. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 04:32, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"should meet additional criteria" which it does not. I haven't come across any news reports other than ohh, a 7.5 stuck offshore, watch out for a (damaging) tsunami (that didn't manifest). There are reports of a small tsunami and nothing else so it might as well be included in the List of earthquakes in 2020. This is not something a non-earthquake expert would remember simply because it exists. --Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 05:43, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
News reports of the earthquake and resulting tsunami from RS would seem to suffice to establish notability. But on top of that, at minimum, there is one published in-depth scientific analysis:
The 25 March 2020 MW 7.5 Paramushir, northern Kuril Islands earthquake and major (MW ≥ 7.0) near-trench intraplate compressional faulting -- Bob drobbs (talk) 06:01, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No lasting impact is the point .. which you clearly don't get. A published study and shallow news stories does not establish notability whatsoever; this event was probably notable only on that day it occurred ... there are no extended coverage in the weeks and months after that. I'll just ping @Dawnseeker2000 and Mikenorton: for their thoughts on this. --Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 12:06, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also just because it is well written doesn't mean it's notable. There simply should not be an article for this earthquake for its lack of significant coverage. period. --Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 12:14, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Being the subject of articles all over the world plus at least one scientific study is significant coverage. In terms of WP:LASTING one major earthquake on a fault changes the nature of the fault and CAN have an impact on the next major earthquake. Do you disagree? -- Bob drobbs (talk)
Coverage of an earthquake without any lasting impact in major news agencies is not notable, neither is one published scientific study. To answer the question, every earthquake makes another likely; either on the same fault or the faults nearby. But no other earthquakes have occurred in the immediate area, even so, this event still fails the basic notability criteria for inclusion. --Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 13:32, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Dora the Axe-plorer: To me international coverage, national coverage, local coverage, plus multiple in-depth analyses confer basic notability. But let me ask you another question. If there was a M 9.0 earthquake tomorrow on the same fault, would a bunch of people want to refer to this article? -- Bob drobbs (talk) 18:32, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, a bunch of people (the general public, I assume) wouldn't refer to this article. A 7.5 south of the Kamchatka Peninsula isn't going to be remembered by non-earthquake experts, even if a 9.0 follows-up. Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 22:20, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agree to disagree then. I was in a 6.9 earthquake. I have interest in all earthquakes that are ~20x more powerful than that, doubly so if they end up being the precursor to an even larger quake. I'm sure I'm not alone in that. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 01:24, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: It may be well written but it does not justify it being significant. No one was afflicted and has not brought up any scientific significance thus immediately making it not suitable for having its own article. --Moctiwiki (Moctiwiki) 13:40, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - The purpose of WP:EVENT is to clarify the tension between WP:GNG and WP:NOTNEWS. There is little doubt that this earthquake meets GNG, but that is not in itself sufficient, it should also meet the requirements outlined in EVENT. When the latter refers to lasting impact it means on people not rocks and there is no evidence of that. Coverage should also persist beyond the normal news cycle. Of the sources listed in the table above, only one is not from the immediate period of the earthquake. Mikenorton (talk) 11:05, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If a concert gets international coverage, we can't predict it will inspire something bigger. With earthquakes, we can predict the future. We know a larger quake will happen along this fault, in part triggered by this quake. The only question is when.
WP:LASTING: "An event that is a precedent or catalyst for something else of lasting significance is likely to be notable ... It may take weeks or months [or years] to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable." -- Bob drobbs (talk) 16:56, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's an article for Kamchatka earthquakes which only discusses 3 earthquakes: 1737 (8.3?), 1923 (8.5?), 1952 (9.0). There's a "see also" for another 7.6 earthquake, 2006 Kamchatka earthquakes. The 2006 earthquake is not well sourced, though there were a few dozen injuries. So, if it's to be a merge, I'd suggest merging both the 2006 and 2020 earthquakes into the Kamchatka earthquakes page. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 21:26, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NCORP. The style is also very promotional. There are some press mentions at reliable sources, but they are almost certainly based on press-releases ([8], [9]). -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:16, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I respect all opinions here and can see the argument leans strongly towards deletion. However, let me try to defend the article, at least so I don't take it too personally.
I found the sources to be valid with much more sources than can be found for similar Israeli companies, as for them being based on PR and promotional activities - I have no idea, but I tried to be as objective as possible. I don't write much in the English Wiki, preferring the Hebrew Wiki where much more work is needed, however, I am aware of the guidelines and issues with commercial/promotional tones in Wikipedia - which is why I checked comparable company articles to assess the notability of PixCell, which I found to be on par and sometimes more notable than similar articles.
The article doesn't feel too promotional in tonality (again in comparison to others), but I could try to rephrase to make it less promotional - however, as the main argument here is on PixCell's notability, I'm not sure that could help. As long as it's not deleted beforehand, I will try to revisit my phrasing in the coming days when I have some time.
As for notability, a relatively senior and stable company compared with most Israeli start-ups, it developed a technology based on scientific research at the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology). According to media publications, this is quite a breakthrough in the world of blood testing in remote regions and improving healthcare quality. This could be just blatant promotional material as argued here, but, taken at face value, I believe this to be an interesting and suitable company to write about.

@Jakednb: Please tell what is your relation to PixCell Medical, Vidisco, SolidRun and Bermad. Is there a possible WP:COI here? --Bbarmadillo (talk) 08:43, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bbarmadillo: as far as I can tell there's no conflict of interest here, as I was not paid or was not employed by these companies. Both Vidisco and Bermad were companies that I had known via my professional life, but again, was not paid to write about. SolidRun and PixCell are both companies I came across and found it lacking they didn't have an article. People who know I edit in Wikipedia do from time to time ask for my help, but this is always done to the highest objectivity and professionalism I can muster (as was the case with Bermad) Jakednb (talk) 15:05, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a businessperson, not reliably sourced as passing our inclusion criteria for businesspeople. The notability claim here is that he's the founder of a record label -- except that the name of the record label he purportedly founded wronglinks to a video game company he wasn't a founder of, with no indication that his record label has a Wikipedia article at all -- and that he "has relationships with many artists, venues, clubs, and record labels in the Virginia/Washington D.C. area", which isn't a notability claim. And as for referencing, the article is completely unsourced except for his own company's self-published website about itself, which is (a) a dead link, and (b) not support for notability in and of itself even if it were still live. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of a WP:GNG-worthy volume of media coverage to establish his significance.

An alphabetic list of Brazil-related articles. Effectively unmaintained since not long after its creation in late 2008, it's got fewer than 600 entries. That's a tiny fraction of the more than 35,000 articles currently tracked by the Brazil Wikiproject. Such an incomplete index can mislead readers into believing we don't have the articles when in fact we do.

In principle, such lists don't have much value for readers any more (see for example Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Index of India-related articles). In this particular case, if the list were to be made complete, it would be unworkably large. There's also no scope for converting into a more curated list of important Brazil-related topics, because that's alraedy done at Outline of Brazil. – Uanfala (talk) 18:04, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • One option would be to keep nominating individual articles until there’s an unquestionable consensus to delete the format, then bundle nominate them in batches until they’re gone. That’s how a lot of pointless “list of politicians by [x]” lists were cleared out. Dronebogus (talk) 22:43, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There are thousands of Brazil-related articles, and listing a small fraction of them in alphabetical order is useless for readers. We have main articles, we have an outline organized by topic, we have categories, and we have the search bar, so I am confused why pages like this still exist. I oppose turning this into a disambig, but it could redirect to Outline of Brazil that could link to the relevant categories and project pages. Reywas92Talk 19:39, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They are navigational indices per WP:LISTPURP. SailingInABathTub (talk) 11:21, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • That utterly fails to explain what makes it useful. How does this help you navigate? What does this have that the outline doesn't? (okay, the outline's not that long, but it's actually organized and would be more helpful for navigation if merged appropriately!) That categories don't? That the search bar doesn't? This has zero organization or criteria for what is and is not included so I see little use for it or a blanket inclusion for listing any number of links merely because they are links./ Reywas92Talk 14:37, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
WP:LISTPURP explains, "If users have some general idea of what they are looking for but do not know the specific terminology, they could browse the lists of basic topics and more comprehensive lists of topics, which in turn lead to most if not all of Wikipedia's lists, which in turn lead to related articles." SailingInABathTub (talk) 17:11, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Or they can browse an outline that may be more helpful to them since it's organized by "general ideas"! There are millions of topics on Wikipedia (and tens of thousands relating to Brazil), and to list a very, very, very small selection of them on context-free alphabetical lists and pretend that's inherently useful is utterly absurd. "lists of basic topics" in that quote goes to Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines, which provide organization and sometimes descriptions about articles someone may be looking for, much better than indices! Reywas92Talk 02:36, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't find it absurd that an encyclopedia has an index of topics that is in alphabetical order. Different people approach finding information in different ways. SailingInABathTub (talk) 14:47, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, you're looking for Salvador, Bahia, the fourth largest city in Brazil? Oh too bad, this shitty index doesn't have it, just like it doesn't have the other 30,000 Brazil-related articles. This is pointless and unmanageable, and quoting here, "This index is so incomplete that the harm it does in misleading readers far outweighs any conceivable benefit it might still provide." Reywas92Talk 18:39, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You are proposing the equivalent of ripping the index out of an encyclopedia one page at a time! SailingInABathTub (talk) 15:26, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not a WP:PAPER encyclopedia. The equivalent of an index on WP is the search bar and category system. Dronebogus (talk) 15:36, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, the equivalent of an index on Wikipedia is the index. Not being a paper encyclopedia allows Wikipedia to have additional context specific indices that aid in finding related topics. SailingInABathTub (talk) 16:03, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If I had no idea the index existed until now then maybe it’s not actually that useful to readers. Many times I’ve seen keep voters without strong arguments rely on WP:ITSUSEFUL without stating why, or use the increasingly meaningless citation of WP:LISTPURP-“navigational” as a more “professional” sounding substitute. Dronebogus (talk) 21:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a person whose only stated notability claim is having been a non-winning candidate for mayor of a city. As always, this is not a notability claim that passes WP:NPOL #2 -- the notability test for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one -- but there's no indication here that she had preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten her into Wikipedia independently of a political candidacy.
And as for the sourcing, there are four run of the mill hits of local campaign coverage of the type that every candidate for mayor of anywhere can always show, one hit from a local news blog, one from an advocacy organization that isn't a media outlet, and one Q&A interview in which she's talking about herself in the first person on a podcast. Which means that three of the seven footnotes aren't WP:GNG-worthy support for notability at all, and the other four aren't nearly enough to establish that her non-winning candidacy was more special than everybody else's non-winning candidacies.

The article is about a non-profit organization that teaches people who to surf and do hip-hop dancing. So it has to pass WP:NORG. Which it clearly doesn't since all the references in the article are either primary, dead links, or extremely coverage. I couldn't find anything in a WP:BEFORE that would help it pass WP:NORG either.

Previously deleted via PROD but subsequently restored. Alattar is a non-notable musician; he fails the WP:MUSICBIO criteria and the GNG. A WP:BEFORE search finds no significant coverage: only trivial mentions of various performances at local festivals, etc. It appears (although I'm not entirely certain) that he's also a psychologist in the employ of the Social Security Administration, but he doesn't seem to have garnered any more notability from that role than from his musical career.

Delete, I tried to find anything truly significant, but there really isn't much. Here is his IMDb page, but it just looks depressing, Here is his Linkedin profile, but again there really isn't anything much that makes him special. He does have a YouTube channel with nearly 11k subscribers, but still 11k subscribers is a miniscule amount, and doesn't really contribute much to notability. Fairfax Times did mention him here however that talks more about the event rather than Alattar's life and playing. He does participate in a couple events, like the SHIN-DC "Comospolitian Journey to Greek" and this, but again those aren't that big of an event. The 2nd event I stated might also explain whatever this is. Finally, he is a contributor of this book, which seems to be pretty significant. However, all of these are either a. Insignificant or contribute little to no notability at all or b. Only passing mentions. So while Alattar seems to be a smart and interesting person, just not notable enough for his own article.

I earlier proposed this article for deletion but the prod tag was deleted by user Curbon7 with a reason that "contesting PROD; party holds a seat in a parliament" which is incorrect because as per this list on the official Punjab Government site Punjab Lok Congress does not hold any seat in the Punjab Legislative Assembly. I tried to reach Curbon7 but they did not reply to my message. The party was founded just 2-3 weeks ago and has not yet participated in any elections. It was in the news due to its founder who is a notable figure otherwise there is no independent coverage. IMO the article should be deleted or merged with its founder's article.

I've prodded this recently created article (2020 vintage) with " This is basically a poorly referenced fork of Hyperspace which has recently been rewritten. I propose a WP:SOFTDELETE and redirecting this there. While I could be bold and redirect this myself, I dislike stealthy deletions by redirecting; hence the PROD. If the PROD reviewer agrees with me, please just redirect this as proposed. If not, we can discuss this at AfD.". It was deprodded by User:Artw with "Removed prod - is clearly not a fork of Hyperspace. Other grounds may remain but should probably be dealt with at AfD.". I'll also ping User:Mark McWire who has been editing the article. Speaking as the editor who recently wrote GA space travel in science fiction, cleaned up/rewrote hyperspace, and with Mark and User:Daranios also cleaned up Warp drive (not finished yet), I have to say repeat that "space folding" should be just a redirect, preferably to "hyperspace", where this topic is discussed (or maybe to "warp drive", where it is also mentioned). The current "space folding" article is just a WP:SYNTH list of random examples of works that used this term, the old WP:FANCRUFTY bad style that we are now slowly removing from articles, transforming such listicles into the encyclopedic style overviews, as seen in RS like the ones seen at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Science Fiction. In my review of the sources I've noticed that the concept of space folding is mentioned occasionally in passing, but only as an explanation of more popular concepts of hyperspace or warp drive. The concept is not indexed in the Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction nor does it even appear at all in the [15] The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, and other sources mention it in passing (if at all). Given the low quality of referencing currently in the article (ex. this Washington Post article that does not even mention the concept, and most other sources cited also fail this - probably because they were merged from semi-relevant articles like wormholes in fiction, based on edit history and talk page notices I see... although I don't understand why this was merged here at all) I think a redirect without merging is the most SOFTDELETish way of dealing with this I can imagine. PS. If it wasn't clear, the topic also fails WP:GNG. PPS. I should also mention that the topic of "space folding" seems to exist in sciences (math/physics/chemistry?), but the article here has no mention of this. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:26, 2 December 2021 (UTC) PPS. I double-checked other reference works: Visual Encyclopedia of Science Fiction - not in the index; Encyclopedia Of Science Fiction - not mentioned anywhere in the body; The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy - ditto; The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction - still nothing; Science Fact and Science Fiction: An Encyclopedia - guess what, nothing. The new Science Fiction Literature through History: An Encyclopedia seems to use the word fold when describing the concept of a warp drive, that's about the most relevant usage I could find.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:57, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would put the term together with wormholes in fiction, if we decide to delete the entire article. The existence of hyperspace is not necessary for space folding and there are examples, such as Event Horizon, where hyperspace does not exist in the story, but space folding as an fictional concept. In contrast, almost all fictitious wormholes work via space folding and real Wormholes descripted as connection in space via space-time folding. The example of Event Horizon should be adopted in any new location, as the principle of space folding is clearly explained and shown in the film. --Mark McWire (talk) 10:45, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Why wormholes and not warp drive? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:58, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Because in for example Star Trek, space folding is a separate concept. While warp drive is an everyday technology, at least in representation in the franchise, space folding is something very rare. A technology that is difficult to achieve and that is superior to warp drive. Physically, both are based on different approaches. If you were to mix the two articles, you would have to explain why space folding is part of the lemma "warp drive". And at the same time, all sources for the Star Trek franchise say that warp drive and space folding are two different things. It would be an internal contradiction. There are some intersections between warp drive, space folding, wormholes and hyperspace. But there remain four basic concepts that are based on different physical and hypothetical approaches. In the case of wormholes, there is at least the folding of space-time. We can argue that space folding is only a synonym for space-time folding. An abbreviated or simplified version of this term, so to speak. If anyone could prove this interpretation with a source, it would even be worth considering redirecting the lemma to the general theory of relativity. --Mark McWire (talk) 09:38, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also, these sources link space folding to wormholes: [16], [17], [18], [19]. Daranios (talk) 11:55, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
We could mention something in wormholes in fiction article, sure. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:11, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and expand or merge to wormholes in fiction and disambiguate. First, I agree with Mark McWire. The sources about A Wrinkle in Time and the space.com article link the concept to wormholes, as Stephen Hawking seems to have done, if this site is to be believed; the Grazier article also distinguishes space folding from hyperspace, so we should not merge there. The idea I have in my mind from Dune does not fit to Deep Space 9 style wormholes, so merging to wormholes in fiction is not a perfect fit; it's a shame that p. 205 of the Grazier article is not visible, that might change or reinforce the case for merge. So based on what I've seen of secondary sources this alone does not need a separate article, a merge would be fine for me. If more sources (again, what's there on p.205?) would be found, I am happy to change my opinion.
I also came upon the concept in science (and science-fiction) which the nominator already mentioned: Here, and more clearly here, p. 236, space folding refers to space curvature due to gravity, which if, as a sci-fi concept, artificially induced, could significantly shorten space travel times, but not make them instantaneous. So if we take that into account, we could keep this as a stand-alone article discussing both concepts and their differences (and possibly more from maths, etc.). Or make this a disambiguation page and adapt what we have into wormholes in fiction, and refer for the other part to, I guess, General relativity. Daranios (talk) 11:55, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
IF someone writes about the real-science concepts, arguably some small 'in fiction' section could exist. But right now we have only the 'in ficition' content, and badly written/referenced at that. WP:TNT case, I am afraid - but if someone is motivated to fix this, go ahead. However, in the current form, a redirect (I am fine with 'wormholes in ficiton' instead of 'hyperspace' as the target) is the best outcome for the read, who should not be served this messy, OR-ish and GNG-failing topic. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:47, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If something is called a wrinkle in space or folded space, when the descriptions match, hardly seem original research to me. We have two books (and a very short mention in a magazine article) talking about the concept in A Wrinkle in Time. We have a book about the concept in Dune. That does not seem to fit WP:TNT to me. I've now seen that p. 203 of the Dune source directly links the scientific concept of space folding with the sci-fi concept of instantaneous travel via folded space. And AfD is not clean-up, so I think the fact that we could write a reasonable article fullfilling WP:GNG is enough to neither delete nor redirect without merging this article. Daranios (talk) 11:55, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As far descriptions matching, thi is an argument for redirecting this to warp drive, which is all about warping/folding space. And considering the current article has not a byte about real science that may be related to this, yes, TNT very much applies. There is nothing valuable or salvageable in the our poorly referenced plot summary that is nothing but a poor listicle of 'this term is used in works A, B and C'. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 17:31, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
But the sources still link our kind of space folding here to wormholes, not warp drive. And we do cover fictional concepts, as well as fictional treatments of real concepts, with "Are there secondary sources about it?" being our main criterion. So I don't see what we have as worthless.
Otherwise this topic is getting more and more interesting every time I look: I actually think Science Fiction Literature through History: An Encyclopedia gets it wrong when comparing our "fold space like a paper" to Star Trek's warp drive/the Alcubierre drive, if other sources about the warp drive are to be believed. It seems to me we are dealing with a number of separate ideas, all linked by "the shape of space is changed" (and therefore sometimes all referred to as folded space/space folding), but distinct:
1) General relativity gives us the scientific concept that space can be curved by gravity.
2) Then on the one end of the spectrum of sci-fi concepts we have the warp drive, which creates a comparatively small bubble of space, which is driven through the rest of space by a density gradient of space.
3) Next we have the compression of space as described in That's Weird!, where a real distance remains. And which would impact the whole route, as compared to the localized warp bubble.
4) A more extreme version of that would be wormholes in the style of DS9 and, if I remember correctly, Hawking's Illustrated A Brief History of Time where a corridor of short but still tangible distance branches out from normal space.
5) And lastly the most extreme version, like the tesseract in A Wrinkle in Time or the (somewhat mystifying) technology of Dune, where the distance between two widely separate points in space is reduced to zero. Which is what the article currently talks about. (I think I remember that Foundation also had such instantaneous travel, but with a very brief explanation of the technology which may or may not fit here.)
Plenty to write about, but I am still not completely sure if it were best to cover that all under Space folding with links to more detailed articles where they exist, or make it a pure disambig page and fitting the various concepts sometimes called space folding into other articles. Daranios (talk) 21:23, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The first problem which some folks keep ignoring here is that the majority of reliable sources using this term in academic literature seem to be from the chemistry/physics related to stuff like Folding (chemistry). Which has totally zero in common with the usage in sf literature. The latter - second problem - is inconsistent but more or less a synonym for the concepts of space warp, i.e. warp drive. Which is also related to wormhole travel, and that is not too far from hyperspace. It's all variations on the same 'technobabblish but imaginable way to travel at FTL speeds'. While there seem to be sources that support having separate articles about hyperspace, warp drive and wormholes in fiction, there is still next to zero about space folding, which is a poorly defined synonym for the above. Since space folding and space warping are more or less the same, I still strongly say "redirect". At best, this can be mentioned as a rare, alternate name. If it was something significant, it would be mentioned in one or more of sf encyclopedias, which I've reviewed and which not only don't have a dedicated entry on it, but don't even use the term in passing! Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:45, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I fail to see how these variations are not conceptually different. "the majority of reliable sources using this term in academic literature seem to be from the chemistry/physics": So there are more sources using the term than those that we have discussed. That does not seem to me an argument for deletion, but rather that WP:GNG is not the major problem. But yeah, I see, it's the same term applied to different concepts. So it's one more argument for making this a (somewhat extended, as it probably needs sources to make it clear) disambiguation page. That's a solution I would be fine with, as I've described. Daranios (talk) 20:34, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The fusion of space folding with hyperspace would be Wikipedia:No original research according to the guidelines of Wikipedia. There is no direct connection. Both are simply speculative scientific concepts that are used in science fiction as drive concepts for faster-than-light-movement. --Mark McWire (talk) 12:06, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are basically four major concepts in science fiction for flying faster than the speed of light:
    • A) You change to a fictitious hyperspace / subspace / underspace, in which other physical laws apply, where the speed of light does not represent a natural limit of movement.
    • B) You changes the space-time in such a way that the distance between the starting point and the target point becomes smaller, so that the space ship does not have to fly faster than the light. That is the basic principle of folding the space. You can in extreme cases fold the space so that the start and finish are in the same position at the same time and you cover the distance instantaneously. This is the basic principle of most of the so-called jump drives.
    • C) You connect two points of space-time through a tunnel and take a shortcut. That's the basic for most fictional wormholes or hyperspace/subspace/transwarp tunnels/corridors/conduits or slipstream drives. This is the only concept that can be merged with hyperspace, since there are actually parallels here.
    • D) You build a bubble around the spaceship that is separated from normal space-time, in a kind of own little universe and move this bubble through space. Since the limit of the speed of light only applies to energy and matter, a spaceship can move faster in this way. This is the basic principle that describes the warp drive and similar concepts.
All of these concepts have their right to exist in Wikipedia. --Mark McWire (talk)
IMHO D) is just a mix of A and B. Star Trek's warp drive seems to involve creating a hyperspace-bubble and having it interact with our reality in a weird way, kind of like greasing the wheels to make them roll faster. But traditionally space warp, space fold are related. And for some writers hyperspace just means something that allows warping/folding, fo others it's the pace inside the wormholes, etc. It's all variations of technobabble. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:56, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Let's just look at it from a real scientific point of view. Wormholes and warp bubbles are two different possible solutions to the field equations from general relativity. Both concepts exist independently of each other. Space folding is another independent solution, but sometimes referred to wormholes. Hyperspace does not exist in current physics. It is a hypothetical concept that is discussed in real science, but which has no use to solute any theoretical problem. It's a world outside of our universe. That science fiction mixes up these concepts is another problem. The warp drive from Star Trek is not a pure warp bubble concept, as it results from the general theory of relativity. As you said, it's a mixture of subspace (hyperspace) and space warp. When it comes to space folding, things get complicated. It is a concept that exists in real science, namely as a prerequisite for using wormholes. Because without folded space, a wormhole is useless, since the flight through the wormhole would be just as far as the flight through normal space. Only when a wormhole connects two distant points in a folded space-time can it create a shorter path. In science fiction, especially in Star Trek, space folding is treated as a separate entity. Mostly in connection with instant travel methods. While the flight through a wormhole takes finite time, the flight through space folding is timeless. --Mark McWire (talk) 10:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It would be no problem for me to accept a redirect to Warp drive. Then in the article warp drive it needs its own subsection for space folding and there it is explained that it is a similar concept to space warp, but that it is used differently in the SF. Then we can cite the examples from Star Trek, in which space folding is presented as a physical concept superior to the warp drive that enables instant journeys that are not possible with the warp drive. For example coaxial warp drive and spatial trajector from Series Voyager. --Mark McWire (talk) 11:06, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Overall I agree, which is why I think redirecting (and possibly adding a section to be mostly written from scratch as I do stand by my view that next to nothing in the current plot summary article has value) to either warp drive or wormholes is superior to hyperspace. Indeed, hyperspace is 100% fiction, whereas warp drive and even more so, wormholes, are grounded in some real sciences. My point is that any discussion of space folding has to go beyond listing a few examples of fictional works that used this term.

A station on a now-abandoned SP&S rail line, and in this case I was fortunate enough to find two older maps, one from 1913 and the other from 1936, which make it clear that there was never a town here, a view ratified by later aerials and topos.

Hoax article according to admission on Twitter by supposed creator. No reliable sources found. The first source to the Durham book is a real book but a Google Book search inside has no results for "Farrow" or "synesthesia". The second source The Lower Canada Journal of Medicine appears to be a bogus non-existent journal? A full-text search of Internet Archive finds nothing for a William Henry Farrow of this type.

If this is determined to be a hoax, it would be the third oldest hoax in Wikipedia history at 15 years and > 11 months. -- GreenC 04:30, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've requested a copy of the book through my library. May take a couple of weeks to get it. Getting my hands on the book would make this an open and shut case, one way or another. -- rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 05:32, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
An abridged copy and full copy is online with 'search inside'. As a test search for "Durham", it will not show all results but does say how many results (87). The words "farrow" or "synesthesia" have 0 results. Search on "375" shows it to be the first page of a chapter (in the TOC), but the citation is for "374–376" meaning it crosses a chapter boundary which is very odd. You might say 374 is a blank page, but it's not, there is content there according to the index when searching on "374". So we have a citation that includes the last page of a chapter the first two pages of the next chapter. -- GreenC 16:35, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as hoax. The article creator, André Babyn, has admitted the hoax on Twitter as noted by the nominator. His first edit as Babynator set the tone for his brief history of contributions. On the specifics of the article, the journal Lower Canada Journal of Medicine never existed and no article by that title is in literature databases. Farrow's existence is not verifiable and there is no need to wait for rsjaffe's book to arrive - if he existed then he would surely appear somewhere else in the historical record and this is an admitted hoax with information that is assuredly false. I don't understand why CappellsFromSkelmersdale thinks finding a photo of a British WWI captain by another similar name means we should keep an article about a supposed doctor who died well before that war began. Trying to pretend we were not duped makes us look even sillier. Fences&Windows 14:55, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The twitter account claiming to be the original author says it is a hoax. It's clear that no other references to the subject person exist. It's clear that the original author fabricated the existence of a journal cited in the article. The twitter account claims that the book reference is also fabricated.

Thanks. I'm not sorry. I felt like checking it because 1) I was curious, 2) wikipedia tends to be "blind" to written sources, as opposed to on-line sources, so I thought it was appropriate to read it, and 3) before enshrining something as a hoax, I felt it was appropriate to make sure we weren't being fooled by a hoax hoax, as improbable as that may seem. rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 20:05, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Both sources used are unreliable. It's a bit hard to look for because the article isn't clear if it's in Jeff Davis on Bandera County, and it doesn't seem to have a GNIS entry. Newspapers.com is just giving me results for coal mines in China, and searching in other locations doesn't bring up anything that indicates that this meets WP:GNG or WP:GEOLAND. Hog Farm Talk 04:04, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This tendency to label all these places "ghost towns" has led to counties, particularly in California (e.g., Nevada county), which there are more "ghost town" articles for on Wikipedia than there are articles for inhabited locations. A quick review shows nearly all of these were likely mines, camps, fords, bridges, farms, ranches, stations etc. etc. etc.
In reality, even in places that saw a gold rush or whatever, there should not be more than a few "ghost town" articles for each US county since very few places with legal recognition totally disappeared, and the ones that weren't legally recognised rarely pass WP:GNG.

All three might be independently notable, and the current article contains some useable material on two of them. AfD deletion is supposed to be for things where there is no salvageable content, or no notability. On the subject of "Hollywood science" in the sense of science perverted for film effect, there are several books on exactly that subject, for example Sidney Perkowitz "Hollywood Science: Movies, Science, and the end of the world" [21]. The subject is almost certainly notable and riddled with reliable sources. Meanwhile the BBC series has been selected by the Open University as the subject of a free learning resource [22] which is an independent indication of notability, and very in-depth, and the royal society of chemistry (RSC) held a lecture about the series [23], again independent and in-depth.

1) ditch the title "independent scholar"
2) chuck out all primary sources (use it to make a Selected bibliography section instead).
3) rewrite to focus on the reception. What do they write about Spaeth? No anonymous critics please, state the outlet they wrote for and how they assessed his work. Summarize in the lead which one of his books caused a media ruckus.

  • Delete The only government post that I can see is as special advisor to the President (her father). The post itself is not notable; there's a vast difference in notability of being advisor to the leader of a geo-strategically significant country with 300+ million people versus that of one of 18 million which even in subregional terms (Eastern/Southern Africa) is of middling importance when compared with South Africa, Kenya, Zim or Mozambique. Other than the pieces on the appointment/non-appointment (which in themselves do not constitute notability), the reliability of the sourcing is borderline and all are mere mentions (blogspot sourcing is certainly unreliable). There's no in-depth coverage, or passing (rather than mentions) coverage across multiple reliable sources to satisfy a generous interpretation of WP:BASIC. Searches turn up very little. In terms of commentary regarding systemic bias - if we are talking of people and issues related to the 20th Century and earlier, this is certainly more of a case in terms of online sources. But we are talking of a contemporary figure; the notion that African media reporting *today* is in the same condition as last century or even a decade ago, is utterly mistaken.

Fails WP:SPORTSEVENT as it's not the final series (or single game when there is not a series) determining the champion of a top league, it isn't a college bowl game, it's not an all-star game, and it is not a game that is widely considered by independent reliable sources to be notable. Most coverage is routine and mentions of it being Tom Brady's return to New England before the game. A month and a half later, it doesn't seem to satisfy WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. Rockchalk717 22:46, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think you might want to look at WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. The majority of articles about it were from the week leading up to the game, and a few immediately after the game, but there hasn't been very much continued coverage about it since indicating (using that policy's words) a "spike in coverage". If Wikipedia existed when Joe Montana returned to San Francisco when he played for the Chiefs, that probably wouldn't qualify for an article either. This seems pretty similar to when Brett Favre returned to Green Bay or when Peyton Manning returned to Indianapolis, lots of build up the week or two leading up then the game was largely forgotten by history. And I have to pretty strongly disagree about it being "among the most notable regular season games over the last several years". Outside of Tom Brady, there wasn't very much notable about it. In regards to the record comment, records are broken and tied more often than most people realize. Hell, Patrick Mahomes tied (another) record Sunday night and there wasn't much coverage about it, now I'll admit career passing yards is more notable then things like "fastest to (milestone)" "most (stat) after ___ career games". The 2018 Rams/Chiefs game is by a large margin the most notable regular season game recently and look at everything about that game.--Rockchalk717 02:05, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep as per Etzedek24 and Frank Anchor's comments (maybe not for the records being broken), but mostly for the game's strong ties to the Brady–Belichick era of New England Patriots history, which is considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest, dynasties in sports. I'd also suggest merging to the Brady/Belichick page, but as mentioned before, there is plenty of coverage for the game and its circumstances, which I think would be too much for a merged article to contain, especially for one game. --WuTang94 (talk) 02:10, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep I do think that Brady's return is significant given the magnitude of playing against his former coach and team, as they carved a huge place in sport's history when together. I also think that such a matchup likely will not happen again, unlike Favre or Manning as mentioned by Rockchalk717. But in the likelihood of this page getting deleted, I have moved some of the significant copy surrounding the game (and not the game itself) to the Brady–Belichick era page. --Flowerkiller1692 (talk) 05:31, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • And no, the page is relevant beyond Belichick and really has little to do with him. It's about Brady and his return to play his former team (and, importantly, his former owner Robert Kraft, whose decisions were relevant in Brady leaving the Patriots) and what he accomplished while doing so. It's not about what Brady accomplished while quarterbacking the Patriots, but about the game, the fans, and the overall drama resulting in the "second most-watched broadcast of NBC Sunday Night Football in its history". Belichick is New Engand's coach and not a rival to Brady, and he is more or less tangential to the page. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:13, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Whoops, my apology, my comment was more for Missvain than you, this seems an obvious Keep from early on and could use a close reading from the closer. p.s. the last sentence of Dan's ghost was added after this comment. My answer to you above was also meant for you and for other editors who want to make an inappropriate-target merge. This is not a topic about Brady and Belichick, although they both were active participants in the game (as were many others). Randy Kryn (talk) 14:30, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's odd to say it's obvious when the discretion is on the closing admin. There are legit points presented here with the discussion for either keeping the article or/and merging. – The Grid (talk) 15:17, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment just want to reiterate the whole naming discussion and notability. The game that was played was not notable, i.e. the actions that occurred during the game did not make it notable, like Fail Mary, Bottlegate and 2018 NFC Championship Game. Being the 2nd most viewed SNF game or Brady setting some random record does not make the game notable. Looking at the article's current name, 2021 Tampa Bay Buccaneers–New England Patriots game, the implication is the topic of the article is the game, i.e. the events that occurred during the game. However, looking closely at the sources, the topic that is notable is Brady and Belichick's history, legacies, and now rivalry. Looking at it from this perspective, Brady–Belichick era already covers this topic. This game becomes part of this topic, with the most appropriate outcome being a new section in Brady–Belichick era covering Brady and Belichick's interactions after Brady left the Patriots, which includes this game. So again, this game is notable and should be included in Wikipedia, but the topic is already covered by an existing article. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:46, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, this article was previously titled "Tom Brady's return" before being moved to its current title. On one hand, I feel that that title was actually a better title to indicate why this game is notable, but on the other hand, as pointed out by those who supported the move, it's a bit of an ambigious title that could be confused with other "returns" that Brady has made throughout his career, such as his 2009 return from his torn ACL or his 2016 return from his Deflategate suspension. So if this article is kept (as I have already voted for it to be), maybe there should be a new discussion about a title that better demonstrates the game's notability than just having the title be the year and the teams involved in the game, but it might have to be something a little more specific than "Tom Brady's return." --Zander251 (talk) 17:43, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • (coming in riding the surf of an edit conflict) Yes, the game is notable, per 32 good sources which cover Tom Brady in relationship to this game. Brady's focus was not on any kind of rivalry with Belicheck, even if some but not all of the press played it up. A merge to the Brady-Belicheck page would be inaccurate. A mention and a link there is fine, but this article is about a noteworthy game. And the "random record" Brady achieved during the game was for the most passing yards in a career (as notable a football record as you can get, tied). Randy Kryn (talk) 17:50, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • I disagree that the 32 references show notability for the game itself, compared to the circumstances around the game. When I look at the title of these refs, 9 of them are about Tom Brady's time with the Buccaneers or the aftermath of his leaving (e.g. "Tom Brady officially signs contract with Buccaneers", "Patriots eliminated from postseason contention for first time since 2008"). Many other refs are about the circumstances of the "return" or about the ratings (e.g. "Watch chilling moment as Patriots crowd roars for Tom Brady's return", "Tom Brady's return was the second most-watched 'Sunday Night Football' game ever on NBC"). An argument could be made that the game itself was notable for Brady becoming the NFL all-time passing leader, but we don't have an article on the game where Brees broke the previous record. There is no doubt that this article is well sourced, but this game was notable because of "The Return", which can be summarized and covered at the Brady-Belichick article. Natg 19 (talk) 20:29, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • The "circumstances around the game" are part of the article about the game (the page doesn't have to be about the 60 minutes on-field play). The game is not about Brady and Belichick, not discernible rivals, and a merge to that page would be a mismerge per topic. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:10, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Zander251's theory that the page is misnamed seems to get to the heart of the differing opinions here. The page is a prominent Tom Brady page and not a page about Brady and Belicheck, and should be renamed accordingly. Makes sense. This is a well sourced page about a notable game which, by coincidence, contains Brady obtaining a notable record, which should tip a Keep. Just could be the title has to describe it better. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:10, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • Just to be clear, the naming doesn't matter. The topic is what matters. The topic is notable, it's just that the topic is already sufficiently covered by another article. The argument I am making is that the topic that is notable is the relationship between Brady and Belichick, not the game that was actually played. The game should definitely be noted, but as part of the larger topic on the Brady–Belichick era. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:45, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Brady-Belichick era ended in 2019 and is defined in the first sentence of the Brady-Belichick era. This game was played in 2021, and has nothing whatsoever to do with their mutually shared success (which is what their article is about but. again, not what this one covers). Randy Kryn (talk) 17:04, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's a footnote (or a postscript) to the Brady-Belichick era. If it weren't for the extraordinary success of the B-B era, nobody would care about this game. The notability of this game flows directly and exclusively from the former. Cbl62 (talk) 17:24, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it should have a note, or maybe a 'See also' entrant, but that page is about something that ended, per the page lead sentence, in 2019. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:27, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand how you can say that this game has nothing whatsoever to do with their mutually shared success. If not for the mutual connection between Brady and Belichick, this would just be a run of the mill regular season game, and this article would be speedily deleted and we would not be having this discussion.

Another case where actually reading the sources would have given a different article. Once again, the Washington Place Names database calls this a "railroad station", and yes, going back through the topos and aerials shows an isolated siding and a grain elevator, which still stands in the middle of the urban sprawl that has surrounded it. It's been closed for something two decades, and is now bedecked with cell phone antennae. It's not even clear that anyone considers this a neighborhood in the city.

It is original research. There is no scientific consensus on the existence of this plate. Appears to be a fringe view (WP:FRINGE) based on a 2003 paper by Bird. The references does not mention the microplate. I propose part of the content is moved and merged into Geology of Colombia. The concern is similar to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Altiplano Plate. Mamayuco (talk) 01:19, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Having been cited thousands of time does not mean that everthing in the article is correct or accepted. Geophysics have had much advance since 2003, so if the North Andes Plates would be an usefull construct it should have been noter so by other geologist working with plate tectonics. Just like Stephen Hawkings books and articles have been cites thousands of times some of his works are known to have been in error in some subjects. So, where is the validation that the North Andean Plate is indeed accepted among the plate tectonics community of Earth scientists? Mamayuco (talk) 13:40, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Again - "Correct" and "Accepted" are NOT the metrics for inclusion in Wikipedia. "Notable" is the metric. We have an article on Phlogiston, after all. It took me ten seconds to find this article that refers to it, which has itself been cited 23 times. On the interaction of the North Andean Plate PianoDan (talk) 15:40, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Can't proclaim on the topic area, but yes, correct != notable (or the inverse). And the term crops up in a sufficient number of publications [25] to show that it's present in the discourse. I do wonder why that paper by Bird (actually 2.2k cites) is not actually used as a reference, and only hangs out as the single "Further reading" item on the page. - Below a VAST and otherwise unconnected "bibliography". That article is a confusing construct... --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 03:41, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another station along the Columbia, and like several of the others it was relocated when the old roadbed was inundated by damming. In neither case, though, does it seem to have any place for a town. In its first incarnation it was a passing siding on a ledge carved out beside the river; in its current form it is a much longer passing siding carved out on a new ledge along the river, and the "town" name has been moved on the topos to a second siding which branches off the first to service a small quarry, whose buildings are the only structures at the site. In the 1950s a house or such was built south of the track a bit east of the siding, but that's not a town. The place names DB calls it a station; I find nothing indicating a town.

    Comment Haphazardly voting Keep on everything isn’t a good idea. Even Near the time of the air date of this show, it got close to zero coverage other than non-critical reporting. Although celebrities did seem to host the show, this doesn’t make the show notable in and of itself.
Please be civil and truthful. I vote delete, make comments, and vote to merge often. Why do you feel the need to use language that implies a threat. That's not in line with our objectives here on Wikipedia! Remember to shelve your personal feelings when it comes to afd's and remember to allow the democratic process to play out.

On the banks of the Columbia River we take a break from the grain elevators and consider this rail station, for as best I can determine, that's all it was. The station siding is still there, and is southwest of the point marked by GNIS, because for some reason the topo people seized upon a loose spread of buildings as the "town". As far as I can determine, these were farm buildings: the aerials show this area covered by a sizable orchard. At any rate, references addressing the matter directly uniformly refer to this as a station. Mangoe (talk) 00:10, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
