The result was merge to Bianconi–Barabási model. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 12:40, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bose–Einstein condensation (network theory)

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

I believe this page should be deleted on the following grounds: 1. Overly narrow overlap of three articles (Bianconi–Barabási model, Bose-Einstein condensation and Fitness model (network theory)). 2. Overly technical - hard to understand even for people with familiarity with the subject. 3. Notability - subject is very niche even within network science. 4. Largely already covered by the articles listed in point 1. Fractalfalcon (talk) 22:50, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note, this article was previously up for deletion in 2011 but was deemed a keep, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bose–Einstein condensation: a network theory approach. However, since the original discussion the Bianconi–Barabási model page was added covering largely the same material. In my view, the new article covers most of the material in this article and is better written than the current article. --Fractalfalcon (talk) 00:04, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak merge with Bianconi–Barabási model - although I very helpfully won't opine in which direction; but there is a fair amount of overlap, and having two extensive articles that split the difference seems unnecessary. - I don't agree that there are any notability concerns. The titular paper has 889 cites, many of which consist of not insubstantial treatments in heavy hitters (10k+ cites) such as [1] and [2]. That's definitely good enough for us. And as for being overly technical, well, by that measure we could junk all of WP's modeling theory coverage. There's actually more legible prose in here than in most articles of that type. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:31, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ehhhhh.... merge with Bianconi–Barabási model. It makes sense to explain a phenomenon exhibited by a model in the article on that model. XOR'easter (talk) 23:15, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. I guess in hindsight I'm convinced a straight deletion is overkill. Definitely this merged into Bianconi–Barabási_model though. Would be unusual to describe the model in the page for the phenomena. I personally would also advocate deleting Bianconi–Barabási_model#History which I think verges on self promotion and is not well sourced. Fractalfalcon (talk) 14:25, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge; ... I find the information in this article on condensation much clearer than the merge article, although there is some overlap. --Whiteguru (talk) 09:39, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Under WP:NEXIST, I don't believe this article satisfies notability requirements; the only sources I've been able to find are either maps or weather information, which combined do not qualify as "significant coverage". Halfadaniel (talk) 23:04, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Generally populated settlements have been considered de facto notable, because one core part of Wikipedia's remit is to function as a gazetteer. Googling for sources where the language uses a non-Roman script doesn't always work well. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:03, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per WP:NGEO "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low."

Stephanie Haim

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

I have improved the article from being an unsourced stub to now a stub with two sources. I still don't think that there is enough there to show a passing of WP:GNG especially considering the fact that Haim does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL. We have a profile page on the website of the football governing body. The same source then reports on her winning an award while playing in the local leagues. A Proquest search results in an article reporting on the same thing. This is not the level of notability required to pass GNG, in my opinion. Spiderone 22:55, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not a notable record label.

Charlie Cowie

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

Players appearing in the Scottish Championship this season no longer get the presumption of notability through WP:NFOOTBALL as per WP:FPL.

In terms of WP:GNG, there are four paragraphs in this news source on his debut. He then gets name checks in Daily Record, Fife Today and BBC. In my view, not enough coverage in multiple sources for GNG at this moment. Spiderone 22:26, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The only one that I found that was more than a passing mention was the DNG24 one. Even the BBC one doesn't really address him in depth. I wouldn't oppose draftifying but my understanding is that we only tend to do that if the subject is playing in a fully pro league and would be likely to pass NFOOTBALL soon Spiderone 15:14, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Veaceslav Stăvilă

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

Completely unsourced stub about a historian, which literally just states that he exists, the end. As always, making a person notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia requires more than just saying that he exists -- notable awards for his work, third party critical analysis of his significance, etc. -- but nothing like that is present here. It bears note that the article has recently been blanked, without explanation or discussion, by an editor with the username of "Veac stavila" (obvious WP:COI) -- but if I look back at the state of the article before it was blanked, it wasn't appreciably better: all it ever contained was one additional sentence stating that he held a role on a committee, followed immediately by a contextless, unfootnoted WP:LINKFARM of external links to mostly primary sources rather than reliable or notability-supporting ones. And while there's an article on the Romanian Wikipedia, it's longer but not any better sourced, so we can't just pull over sources from there and call it a day either. His committee role simply isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a lot more substance, and a lot more sourcing, than any version of this article has ever shown.

Delete. I found an entry for a book he published, "Recea Străşenilor" (2009), in some sort of Moldovan national bibliography, but with no more detail than that. The Romanian-language Wikipedia article on him lists many more, but some of them may be self-published and the article makes him sound like some sort of amateur genealogist rather than a scholarly historian. In any case, that's not enough. Even for a book author, we need in-depth reviews about multiple books, not merely their existence. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:03, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of people who performed on Beatles recordings/Table

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

Incomplete (A-K only) content fork of the existing List of people who performed on Beatles recordings, which seems to exist solely to reformat the exact same information in table form instead of bulleted-list form. However, creating multiple articles just to present the exact same list of the exact same information in different formats is not a thing we do -- if a table is desired, then the existing list needs to be reformatted as a table rather than having a bullet-list and a table-list coexisting as separate pages.

Userfy to encourage completion, seeing as how the nominator appears to have plenty of time to play around on Wikipedia but is evidently not interested in this.

As creator I agree with this work-in-progress being userfied – afterall, the intention of this table was to be a draft (though I appreciate that per WP:SP#Disallowed_uses this should have either been created in a different namespace).

USS Lillie B (SP-1502)

A motorboat that was leased by the US Navy for a grand total of 138 days, saw no action during that time.

Redirect to List of patrol vessels of the United States Navy, where it is included appropriately in the list. If this craft had been commissioned, it would be an automatic keep - commissioning establishes notability - but as the craft is only described as "leased", in the absense of contradictory sources it seems clear it was never commissioned, and uncomissioned small patrol craft that aren't otherwise satisfying GNG are by precedent deleted or redirected. Logical redirect target and redirects are cheap. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:25, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per the above comments. I see no indication that this passes GNG. Parsecboy (talk) 21:33, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, but wait. I cannot argue with the general view that this naval vessel does not pass WP:GNG, but that only applies to stand-alone articles, not to inclusion in another article. Just turning this into a redirect effectively deletes the modest content altogether because the proposed target is just a straight index and has no provision for description. I don't think that this project should be telling the enquiring reader "Yes, there was a vessel Lillie B (SP-1502) that served in the US Navy. Period. There was some more detail but we've thrown it away." A suitable destination, whether a revamped List of patrol vessels of the United States Navy or a more appropriate spin-off, should be fixed first and then the merger can follow. Davidships (talk) 14:47, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've long suggested the treatment of the Lists of Empire ships be the model for all sorts of U.S.N. vessels of little importance other than a listing in DANFS. That is going to take a coordinated effort or a valiant single dedication to long term focus. Bluntly I doubt it will be done. I do not see keeping stand alone articles that are so thin as this until that "whenever" comes. What is here is a DANFS copy, as most are, so I think a note in the list with DANFS link is a good interim solution. Some of these SPs have interesting and notable yacht or other histories (one of my long term projects) but most were just mundane yachts and miscellaneous vessels. What is also lost is a reality that the whole SP thing was essentially a mechanism for a wealthy yacht owner to provide a base so he, relatives and friends could "play Navy" — unless the yacht got selected for distant service "over there" and the crews did not come back to the club after duty. That story is barely told here. Palmeira (talk) 16:26, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Department of English, Goa University

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

Article about a university program, not reliably sourced as passing our notability criteria for university programs. English is one of the most generically common university programs on earth -- virtually every single university that operates in an English speaking country, and even many that operate in countries where English is a popular second language but not the dominant language of the locals, will have an English program. So they can't all be "inherently" notable enough for their own standalone articles as separate topics from the parent institution -- making a university program in any subject notable enough for its own article requires some pretty strong evidence that it should be seen as uniquely more notable than the norm, not just documenting its existence the exact same way you could document the existence of every other university program on the planet. And for sourcing, we've got its own self-published faculty directory, the raw results of a Google Scholar search for the work of one professor, and three glancing mentions of the university's existence in news articles that aren't about the university or its English department -- which means we've got exactly zero sources that are helping to get the department over WP:GNG or WP:ORGDEPTH.

Chinese word for "crisis"

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

I believe the Chinese word is not notable because as a Chinese speaker, I've never heard anyone ever mention the alleged notability of the word, namely its composition from 危 and 机. So, no one in the Chinese-speaking community cares. Zh.wp does not have a separate article on the word, and the info is contained in the main article for "crisis".

Comment: This content is essentially a summary of a series of blog posts by Victor Mair and Ben Zimmer. (Although the article cites Pinyin Info, Mair and Zimmer also blog together at Language Log.) They are quite interesting blog posts, and the urban legend they relate to is a hardy perennial, but I'm not entirely sure they alone are sufficient to establish notability.

Keep. The sources listed in the article aren't overwhelming but enough to show notability – Language Log especially is a solid reliable self-published source. Since the article is about a business-speak trope based on English speakers' misunderstanding of the Chinese word, it's not surprising that it isn't noteworthy amongst fluent Chinese speakers (or zhwiki). – Joe (talk) 09:31, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's not important whether Chinese native speakers know this; as the article states it refers to its usage outside of China. It has been used as a phrase in Norway at least since 1968 as far as I can document. In a 1975 book Johan Galtung claimed this meaning and even rendered the Chinese letters. Geschichte (talk) 16:28, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of three-letter broadcast call signs in Canada

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

List of radio and television stations grouped on a criterion that represents trivia rather than a defining characteristic, and referenced entirely to directory lists rather than any substantive analysis of what might make this significant. This was clearly created to parallel List of three-letter broadcast call signs in the United States, which is also of questionable necessity but at least has a section (albeit unsourced) that provides some historical context for the grouping (as well as listing about four times as many stations) -- but the idea that any article that exists for the United States always has to be automatically paralleled by a matching article for Canada, regardless of any differences in cultural context or relevance or sourceability, has facilitated the creation of some awfully silly and pointless stuff in the past. The actual significance of this topic, in a Canadian context, could literally be dispatched with a couple of sentences in the existing Call signs in Canada, and there's no real reason why a standalone list of the three-letter outliers needs to exist as a separate page.

Merge to the "Call signs in Canada" article. Two thoughts on this. First, my knee jerk response is that I've never seen Bearcat steer me wrong when it comes to anything related to Canadian radio stations. Second, not only could the subject be covered in "Call signs in Canada", it already has been. As is currently noted in the article, "Three-letter call signs are only permitted to CBC Radio stations or to commercial stations which received their three-letter call sign before the current rules were adopted." That pretty much says it all. Mlaffs (talk) 01:18, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the main article on call signs in Canada. Presumably, it's possible to make a table that sorts the call signs by number of letters in them, yes? This doesn't seem like a particularly notable distinction, and if it is, it's one that can be easily achieved without splitting the content out into its own article. jp×g 14:30, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete notability comes from works created by other people, not from works created by the subject.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:59, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Local government districts are not a level of political office that guarantees an article under WP:NPOL. Of the ten footnotes here, five are purely local coverage of the time that's simply expected to routinely exist for all local councillors whether they clear our notability standards or not, and thus are not GNG-bringers; two just glancingly namecheck his existence in the process of not being about him, which does not help to make him notable; one is just a brief blurb verifying his initial election to council; and one is a piece written by him rather than about him. There's just one footnote here that's actually both substantively about him and from national media, and even that one is not about him doing anything significant enough to make him notable on those grounds per se. GNG, as always, is not just "count the footnotes and keep anybody who surpasses an arbitrary number" — it tests the sources for their depth, their geographic range and the context of what they're covering the person for, not just whether n>2 or not. Bearcat (talk) 22:25, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

April 19 (film)

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

This film fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG.

The general notability guideline states: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list."

Then more specific:

The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics.

The film is historically notable, as evidenced by one or more of the following:

Publication of at least two non-trivial articles, at least five years after the film's initial release.

The film was deemed notable by a broad survey of film critics, academics, or movie professionals, when such a poll was conducted at least five years after the film's release.

The film was given a commercial re-release, or screened in a festival, at least five years after initial release.

The film was featured as part of a documentary, program, or retrospective on the history of cinema.

The film has received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking.

The film was selected for preservation in a national archive.

The film is "taught" as a subject at an accredited university or college with a notable film program.

Fails all of the above.

Now let's look at the references: Both references are the database entries.
