  • @AssociateAffiliate:: I'm away from my home computer which allows me to access CricketArchive easily, so it would be the beginning of next week before I can get anywhere close to this. I'm happy to do so, but we'd need time to get the page wrangled properly - perhaps a closing admin might like to give us a little more time on this one, or redirect to a red link?

  • Keep - There is even a Deutsch article for the same topic (person [Yuzuki Yamato]). And as above stated by Snowman, a lot of google hits links to the person. His basic info, for example, can be found: At jleague.jp page, which is the official J.League page, already referenced in the article; At ventforet.jp, the official Ventforet Kofu page, his current club, in which he has a profile, and a joining announcement; At reysol.co.jp, in which he has a profile, and a farewell announcement; At jsports.co.jp ([1]) in which states he even was a captain for the Reysol U18 team at one of the most notable youth tournaments in Japan; And even a profile at Gekisaka, which also links with other articles mentioning him clarifiedly. I do think he is notable enough, and there is a lot of pages with the same "article style", as this is article is still a stub, so deleting this article of a J2 player and former J1 youth team captain, and leaving many other J3, JFL players with no appearance at J1-J2, don't make that much sense at all. I do think he has the required notability. Skydream1721 (talk) 15:23, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neither of the above two !votes mentions any significant coverage of the individual that would show notability. I favor deletion unless there is significant coverage of the person. (t · c) buidhe 21:41, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Then it would be necessary to delete a lot of other stubs, as there is Wikipedia articles of players less notable than Yamato still public. Also, i still don't (sincerely) understand why can't coverage by jleague.jp, reysol.co.jp, gekisaka, ventforet.jp, jsports.co.jp, ogol, transfermarkt, sofascore, fbref, zerozero, besoccer, flashscore, soccerway, jleague.co, gekisaka, yahoo, soccersports, soccerking, kokosoccer and footballlab be considered significant enough.

List of cosmic entities in DC Comics

List of cosmic entities in DC Comics (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The associated article, Cosmic entity (DC Comics), will almost certainly be deleted at its AfD, and this list has exactly the same problems as the main article — namely, it is pure WP:OR without any references, has unclear inclusion criteria, and fails WP:LISTN — except that unlike the embedded list at the main article, it includes additional characters who are not significant enough for inclusion in the more general lists of DC Comics characters. I'm not sure that the definition stated in the lead is the same as in the other list, and I can once again make the examples of Bat-Mite and Starro I gave in the other AfD. At the talk page, there's a discussion with similar concerns from 2005–2006 that I wish to embed here.

During the last AfD in 2020, users argued for trimming the non-notable entries, despite that the trimmed article would be exactly the same as the embedded list at the main article. The contents haven't changed one bit since then. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:41, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom and per the same arguments for deletion already described at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmic entity (DC Comics). Briefly, no real reliable sources validating the actual information on the concept, loads of WP:OR, and fails WP:LISTN. Most of the characters listed on here are extremely non-notable and do not even have independent articles, on top of all that. The best sources that could found in the last AFD were a small handful of "Top Ten" style lists that could hardly be considered reliable, in-depth coverage. At the time several editors, including myself, argued for redirecting to the aforementioned Cosmic entity (DC Comics), but the recent AFD for that article has demonstrated its own inadequacies, so that is no longer a viable option. Rorshacma (talk) 00:00, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Enough blue links to be a valid navigational list. I have the thing that shows which links are for their own articles and which ones are just redirects, there plenty of valid articles for these notable characters. Category:DC Comics cosmic entities also shows how many there are. Dream Focus 00:58, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - And have you actually bothered checking to see how many of these valid blue links are actually to articles on the actual topic? Because many of them are not - they link to the articles on the actual figure of mythology/folklore/etc. that share the same name. These would not show up on your thing that shows which links are just redirects or not, because they are not redirects, they are simply links to articles that are not on the character from DC comics. Just from the first two letters, Abaddon, Adrammelech, Raguel (angel), Artemis, Astaroth, Belial, and Belk fall into that. That last one is especially hilarious, because it links to an article for a department store chain - but hey, its not a redirect so based on your thing, its a valid entry for this list of DC characters! Not to mention, simply stating that it functions as a navigational list completely ignores all of the actual reasons for deletion, including basic verifiability of the topic, described in the nomination. Rorshacma (talk) 01:13, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are completely ignoring the fact brought up both here and the related AFD that the very concept of what a "Cosmic entity" is in DC comics is completely undefined in reliable, secondary sources, and within the actual comics themselves. Verifiability cannot be done by looking at its article or the category, because the very basis of what the topic is, is completely WP:OR. Rorshacma (talk) 01:43, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The introduction reads In comic books published by DC Comics, a cosmic entity (also referred to as a cosmic being) is a fictional character possessing superpowers on a universal, multiversal or even omniversal level, powers far beyond those of humans or conventional superheroes, and usually serving some natural function in the fictional universe in which the entity exists. Seems clear enough to me. Do you have a better name for them? I found some reliable sources call them "cosmic beings" and added a reference to ten things in the article now. Someone with an official book published by DC comics can see what they officially call them. Dream Focus 02:46, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per the tickets for the UK shows here, this is billed as her "UK Tour" - that's it. There's no specific name for it. The appearances at festivals around the US, Europe and UK do not and have not been promoted alongside the mini UK headline tour. There's no marketing or cohesion that shows this is a single body of events. Its also fair too early - no information beyond dates has been provided. WP:NTOUR applies, as does WP:GNG, a lack of WP:SIGCOV beyond some dates. No reference to any jaunt being called "Summer 2022". ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 22:57, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim here is that he's won beatboxing championships and that his career is "outlined" in a "compilation" -- but the reference for the first claim is an unreliable fansite and the reference for the second claim is a "Page Not Found" on Amazon, neither of which are valid support for notability. None of this is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have any proper coverage about him in real media. Bearcat (talk) 22:53, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deletion per WP:GNG. The article has had no references or sources aside from a single external link to a boxing record database, and therefore no verifiable claim to notability, since its creation twelve years ago. It also appears to have been created by the article's subject (the username matches and only edited for a month after article creation on pages directly related to the article's subject). I could not find any verifiable, independent or reliable sources proving the subjects notability. This includes the claim made that the article's subject won gold at the 1994 African Games held in South Africa (which were in fact held in 1995 in Zimbabwe).

Actor without any lead roles. This source from Hürriyet seems ok, but it's only 3 sentences long and doesn't come close to being significant coverage. This from Demirören News Agency would also be good, but almost all of it is just quoting the subject himself. The rest are either "Kimdir?" sources which aren't reliable in the slightest. Fails NACTOR and GNG. This was deleted on trwiki with a deletion discussion. Important thing to note is that now globally locked UPE Seyit12 (also locally blocked here) !voted keep in the discussion saying that he revised the article, so this article might also be an UPE creation. ~StyyxTalk? 20:22, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails notability. First article just a listing, second is not found, searched paper web site and Donegal Sport Hub, sounds like an interview anyway (primary source, not valid for notability), third just has his name listed. Search finds no significant secondary independent indepth articles about him. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:20, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure he's not as notable as the other O'Loughlin (John, who retired this week) but "article makes no support for inclusion" is wrong - it says he won a Nicky Rackard Cup and so he qualified for the Christy Ring Cup - so that is the highest level he could play at - so what more could he do?
So WP:NGAELIC's third part is effective here - he plays in the National League.
And this proves that. And it's about O'Loughlin too and has a big photo of him. And is on the website of a company that owns "over 20" newspapers. I know next to nothing about the hurling up there in Donegal - but then I found that straight away?
So obviously the nominator didn't make a proper search. What newspaper site is he searching anyway? The article used for O'Loughlin, the hurler, isn't even published on a website - so how could a search of some website prove it "fails notability"? "Second is not found" - so it has to be found now to not fail notability? Where is the rule saying it has to be on a website? WP:GNG says - Sources do not have to be available online or written in English.
WP:N says - Thus, before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion,
editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:BB6:A06:EC58:258F:6289:590C:4636 (talk) 15:07, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So changing NSPORTS didn't change anything to people treating it as an "insta-notability pass"? Besides the sources in the article, which don't appear to meet the requirements of WP:GNG; this is an interview with O'Loughlin, which is obviously not "independent" of him. In fact, even in the interview, none of the coverage is about O'Loughlin (it rather is about the then upcoming game with another team); so this fails SIGCOV both due to not actually being about O'Loughlin; due to being routine sports coverage; and finally due to not being independent from him... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 19:09, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete due to the absence of WP:SIGCOV about this person. NGAELIC only indicates a subject is likely to have received significant coverage, like other criteria on NSPORTS; it "does not mean that an article must be kept."; and NGAELIC still needs to be upgraded in light of the recent changes to NSPORTS (in fact, it still has the deprecated participation-based criteria; which ought to be fixed).

Contested prod (I'd forgotten I'd previously prodded this more than a decade ago, to boot.) There's just no evidence this is notable; even among the Macintosh press it was a minor point of contention and style that's been irrelevant for longer than a decade at this point. A relevant line can be placed in Aqua (user interface) (which already seems to adequately cover it) but I see no notability independent of the OS; there was some blogger complaints years ago that didn't amount to anything enduring, or enough to actually write an article about it.

It doesn't matter whether there are relevant charts; what matters is that there are independent reliable secondary sources focusing on the subject in whole or in part, and there doesn't seem to be any. Track listings or database entries per the guideline don't apply. Iseult Δx parlez moi 08:23, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Which charts are you planning to add, anyway? As far as I can tell, this didn't chart on any Billboard chart, including the specialist Latin ones, and didn't chart anywhere in Europe.

That seems fine regarding Los Mismos on those shows, though we'll have to do something about sourcing if we get there.

I've taken the liberty of going through your contributions to find out just what Los Mismos is; it appears that it genuinely has absolutely nothing to do with Con Amor. This is a deletion discussion for Con Amor, not a place to drag other discussions into. And even then, I did not say that Los Mismos/Sabado gigante et al. could be added, only that it seemed fine (promising, okay), providing that better sourcing was found, with the understanding that this all had to do with Con Amor.

That said, Seo Jin-yong has had an eight-year career as a pitcher in the KBO from 2015 to the present, appearing in 353 games and facing 1,557 batters with a 3.97 ERA.

@Doczilla: Your personal opinions about whether or not the subject has made significant impacts is not a guideline-based rationale for deletion.

  • Keep per (bold mine) plus fact that city size is not a Wikipedia policy-based criteria and that Wikipedia lists do not require persons, places, things on lists to be individually notable. Per cited WP:NLIST, "There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y")", such as this one which is well-organised.
    • Wikipedia:SALAT: This list fulfills objective as it is limited in size and topic and is not trivial and is encyclopedic and related to human knowledge
    • Wikipedia:LISTPURP #1: This list fulfills requirement because the list structured around a theme and is annotated.
    • Wikipedia:LISTCRITERIA: This list fits this criteria because listed items fit its narrow scope and are topically relevant making it encyclopedic, comprehensive (and possibly) complete.
    • Wikipedia:NOTDIR#1: This list does not contravene this policy as it is not a loosely associated topic and its entries are relevant because they are associated with or significantly contribute to the list topic.
    • Wikipedia:CSC: This list fulfills this criteria explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles. There is parent article in which it can be embedded for a merge, but would overwhelm that article.Djflem (talk) 16:19, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a person notable only as an as yet non-winning candidate in a future election. This has existed since 2018 as a redirect to our article about a prior election she ran in but did not win, and was then repointed (appropriately) to our article about the current election a few weeks ago, until being spun off into a full article a couple of days ago when she won the primary -- but as always, the actual notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, and unelected candidates get Wikipedia articles only if they can show either (a) preexisting notability in another field that would already have gotten them an article anyway (the Cynthia Nixon test), or (b) a reason why their candidacy should be seen as markedly more special than other people's candidacies in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance (the Christine O'Donnell test.)
But this shows neither of those things, and is referenced to the merely expected volume of run of the mill campaign coverage that every candidate in any election can always show, which is not enough to make her candidacy more special than all the other candidates who didn't get articles just for being candidates per se.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November if she wins the seat, but nothing here is already enough to earn her a standalone biographical article five months in advance of election day. Bearcat (talk) 19:11, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm not confident where to stand on this one. I'd say on one end that there is more than run-of-the-mil coverage, and her campaign stands out as she took down a high-profile incumbent in the primary. Don't mistake the following as WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but I'm just gonna use a couple of other examples from the last election cycle. Marie Newman's article (which was originally successfully AfD'd) was recreated the day she beat Lipinski ([6]); similarly, Lauren Boebert's article was created the day after she beat Tipton ([7]), so it seems there is some working consensus that defeating an incumbent in a primary election generally is a conference of notability. So I'd lean keep for now, and we could re-visit it in the future. Curbon7 (talk) 19:46, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the points Curbon7 made regarding other candidates who defeated incumbents in the primaries.--Woko Sapien (talk) 21:20, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:GNG. Curbon7 makes good points, and I'll add a little. The first source is a LGBTQ paper in the Bay Area, well outside the state of Oregon; for queer candidate to have strong showings in multiple successive election cycles, while running in a very rural and "red" region, is unusual, and it has been covered outside the state. The primary win this year is viewed as an upset, as reflected by coverage (not yet in this bio) in national publications like CNN and the Washington Post. I won't say it was an upset at the level of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- clearly it is not at that level. But, it would be well to remember that at that time, the controversy was not about whether AOC was notable after winning the primary; she clearly was. The discussion at that time focused more on whether she should have had a bio prior to the primary. In McCleod-Skinner's case, the fact that her primary victory has earned national media coverage (see here for more) should be more than sufficient to establish notability. It would be best to weave a bit more of it into the Wikipedia bio, but the coverage exists. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 00:00, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The subject has sources that make support for inclusion in Wikipedia. Aside from the standard media coverage. IrishOsita (talk) 03:34, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep So I did a bit more homework on this. McLeod-Skinner served 4-year multiple terms on the Santa Clara, CA, City Council. It is a majority-minority town that had over 100,000 population at the time, less than 1% gay population. She pointedly refused PAC $ and was outspent 10-1 or so this year. Schrader was endorsed by both Biden and Pelosi. She shouldn't get an article, say as if she, say, won a race for the (fictional) East Bumford, western Nebraska mayor's position, in a population 32 town where her predecessor only took office because all his relatives voted for him, but because she can apparently walk on political water. Activist (talk) 14:43, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I do think that a candidate is notable when the candidate defeated an incumbent in a party primary for a national office and received national or international press coverage, beyond the scope of what would ordinarily be expected.--Enos733 (talk) 16:24, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: per WP:NPOL, we don't typically keep articles on candidates until they win a general election. If she wins the November election, she'll be notable then. Marquardtika (talk) 19:21, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: If this article stays, what happens if she loses the general election? Then, her notability will be based on having lost three state/federal elections. In the meantime, should Wikipedia approve an article on her opponent, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who has been mayor of a medium size city and won a primary the same as McLeod-Skinner? Currently, LR-D's Wiki-connection is via a Redirect to the 2022 House election article; the same way McLeod-Skinner was connected before this personal article was uploaded. I think we should follow the rules; otherwise, we’re on a slippery slope that could look like endorsing one candidate over another.--Orygun (talk) 20:26, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Notability is always based on the subject receiving significant coverage from independent sources. I suggest that defeating an incumbent in a primary election for a national office is not routine, and the coverage of McLeod-Skinner following the primary win is not routine either. Multiple articles described this race in the lens of centrist versus progressive Democrat (like this article in The Nation). It is this national framing, coupled with the defeat of an incumbent, that differentiates the subject from other candidates (that is the campaign coverage is a) nationalized and b) not routine). To the other comments, I would suggest a) WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and b) Wikipedia is not static. - Enos733 (talk) 22:19, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Orygun You make a compelling point, but I disagree with your conclusion. The situation you describe, where Wikipedia has an article about one candidate but not another, is something that happens all the time. In nearly every case where a challenger is taking on an incumbent for a significant office, we will have a bio of the incumbent, but not for the challenger. From an electoral politics point of view, I tend to agree with you, this isn't ideal, and potentially contributes to bias toward the incumbent. We also have many candidates from third parties, in many races, who never get Wikipedia bios, which potentially contributes to bias toward "big party" candidates. As you suggest, none of this is ideal. But if Wikipedia is going to base its rules on notability, rather than some constructed notion of "fairness," this is how it will often be, and it therefore shouldn't be used as a reason to keep or delete any specific article. Should Chavez-DeRemer have a Wikipedia bio? I'm not sure, I haven't delved into her background. But if/when we do, we should assess that decision by the same process as we apply to McCleod-Skinner: we should assess her coverage based on WP:GNG. If she has sufficient coverage over a sustained period of time, perhaps we will have a bio of her prior to the election. But we shouldn't base that decision (or this one) on a constructed notion of fairness. That kind of fairness is beyond what Wikipedia is equipped to impose. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 23:45, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable martial artist, at least by Wikipedia standards. Fails to meet WP:MANOTE.

  • Keep he was a high-profile martial artist and celebrity in South Africa in the 1980s, I remember him from when I was a kid. He was a staple on TV (which was a big deal at the time) and even did ads for things like lawnmowers[9] (YouTube has the Afrikaans version, there was an English version as well) because of his celebrity. I’ll look at the sources in more depth, but would certainly meet WP:GNG via WP:NTEMP (South Africa was isolated because of cultural boycotts in the 80s so people like him got lots of coverage See this (non-karate) book which states "...he was a god...every boy knew who he was.."[1]). The article mentions an in-depth People of the South interview: would be good to find that as People of the South was a high profile show in the 90s, but I think he was interviewed in many other contexts. (I have found a 2016 blog post with an inline link to the interview, but, alas it has been removed from YouTube, nonetheless, it is strong evidence that interview exists)[10]
UPDATE: I found a link to this (2015?) profile (paywalled/dead) from Melbourne’s Herald Sun covering him (he retired to Australia):
https://www.pressreader.com/australia/herald-sun/20150323/281827167256216 “Age Defying Sensei Reigns outside Japan”. The Google extract has the sentence "A MELBOURNE pensioner is one of the world's most decorated karate experts. Stan Schmidt, or Sensei Stan as he is known to the thousands he has .." Teaching thousands, being known in multiple countries, and being subject to independent articles along with being associated with multiple schools (found by Googling) seems to satisfy WP:MANOTE. There also seems to be a coverage in trade magazines, but it's hard to confirm their reliability. Park3r (talk) 00:30, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Appearing in commercials is not enough to show notability. Your quote from the book omits the information that the author was a student of Schmidt's, the part where he says "to me and my friends he was a god" and that Schmidt was "my first father figure". All of that is in a thank you paragraph. After that, he's not mentioned again and this can hardly be considered neutral and independent. The "People of the South" interview is an interview, which means it doesn't qualify as significant independent coverage and the review of that interview is by a student of Schmidt's. I still see nothing that meets the GNG standard.Sandals2 (talk) 12:46, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
People of the South had a profile of him, according to the article. If that profile existed, it would have been significant independent coverage, since it was a widely watched TV show with significant reach at the time of its making. Making an editorial decision to cover Schmidt in a full episode would be a strong indicator of notability, for that show, at that time, since it was a widely watched and high profile TV show. As I said, the dead embedded video in the blog was a strong indicator that the episode exists, not that the blog itself qualifies as a WP:RS. Making TV ads may not be a sign of notability in itself, but the fact that his personal endorsement, was significant enough to sell products in South Africa’s at the time highly concentrated media market is another indicator of notability: he wasn’t appearing as an commercial actor, he was appearing as himself. It’s getting more and more difficult to find internet-accessible sources on South African popular culture: I know that some of the sources (the blog post, and potentially the book) I added above do not necessarily qualify as WP:RS, however they are indicator that such sources exist and an effort should be made to seek them out before deleting this article. Park3r (talk) 21:24, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments Rank has never been considered to show WP notability in martial arts biographies. If possible, it would be nice to have evidence of his karate championships (dates and which titles). Teaching lots of students is an indication of success, not WP notability. If he really was the "subject of independent articles" and has "coverage in trade magazines", it should be easy to provide a few examples of coverage that shows WP:GNG is met. FWIW, I think it's likely he's notable, but I'd like to see a stronger case made. To get the ball rolling, I'd include the fact that he was twice featured on the cover, and in articles, of "Shotokan Karate Magazine". Papaursa (talk) 23:12, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We've got the Melbourne Herald Sun profile article which should get him over GNG, but again, it's a dead link/paywalled.[11] Park3r (talk) 00:01, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I added some magazine sources about him and articles he wrote. Note that Shotokan Karate magazine called him "the pioneer of South African shotokan karate-do". I still think the article would benefit from more sources in general publications, but I think a reasonable case has been made for his WP notability. Papaursa (talk) 02:14, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the sources added by Papaursa. Making a magazine cover multiple times is pretty significant. He also made a Shotokan Karate cover one more time and received a tribute article after his death,[2] and very early in the run of the same magazine, he had an article written on him as well.[3] -— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2pou (talk • contribs) 23:04, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Being featured so prominently in an issue should be mentioned in the article. I'd still like to see additional coverage from more general publications. Papaursa (talk) 00:14, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The awards don’t seem to have been associated with any significant coverage, her tragic early death made it to news but those articles aren’t actually obituaries, they offer no more than a few sentences on her life.

Very minor superhero, whose comic book series lasted two issues. The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. Cited sources confirm this is not a hoax but do not contain any analysis or in-depth discussion as required by WP:SIGCOV. A redirected and maybe a tiny merge to Fox_Feature_Syndicate#Fox_characters might be appropriate, but keeping this as a stand-alone entry, simply summarizing the publication history and his (rather short) fictional biography, is rather WP:FANCRUFTy.

Source 6 does not exist, and was linking from the topic's own website. Source 7 does not exist. Source 8 is just about topic's company, William Henry.  Source 9 is actually a decent source, however, it's from PitchEngine which is $14.95 a month to publish your own stories. Moving on. Source 10 is from the topic's own website. Source 11 is a product award given to the topic's company, not him personally. Source 12, 13 and 14 are awards given to the topic's company. None of the sources are SIGCOV about him, as the main topic. There's a couple mentions of him in some blogs and rag newspapers, but none constitute RS for Wikipedia inclusion. I don't believe this topic is notable enough to establish an entry here. Megtetg34 (talk) 00:08, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think that's fair. The New York Times article you mention is Source 1 in my AFD. It's a trivial mention of the company. The Jacksonville Review isn't notable media. However, the Forbes article counts. So there is at least 1 source. The other source of consideration I found is the Blade Magazine sources. The awards mentioned in Source 12 and 13 just state "Investor/Collector Knife Of The Year®: William Henry Studio ST-4010" for example. The coverage isn't SIGCOV, however there is an article here in Blade Magazine and so that should get the company 2 sources. And the Oregonian article you cited should count as a third. But for the founder himself, I haven't found enough to constitute his own Wikipedia page. Megtetg34 (talk) 15:45, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: failed to find significant coverage in any reliable sources. Google Scholar brings up 5 sources, one mentioned by Daranios above (footnote with minimal commentary). The search also brings up this but it only gives a trivial mention. This gives a small paragraph outlining the plot, no critical engagement though. This gives two mentions but they are both trivial. I couldn't gain access to Utopian/dystopian literature: A bibliography of literary criticism but I imagine it will also give a brief outline of the plot, similar to the other bibliography source.

Non-notable small company which doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH. Subject is a small (5 to 50 person?) textile company, which is similar to any other equivalent company, and hasn't been the subject of any significant coverage. As part of a WP:BEFORE exercise, I have improved, found or added a number of sources to support the text. While these sources support the text, none of them materially support a claim to notability (in each case the sources are the subject's own press releases, website, or news articles which mention the subject but which are substantially about something else). Outside of the refs in the article, various searches in national news sources, for example in the Irish Times or the Irish Examiner, returns barely a handful of results. A majority of which are trivial passing mentions or other ROTM coverage that doesn't contribute to CORPDEPTH/SIGCOV. Guliolopez (talk) 12:48, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no topic here other than a List of rappers from the midwest United States. Certainly there is no established style of midwest hip hop: see the Denver source saying "artists from the Midwest have succeeded each with their own unique style and flavor". Chopper (rap) is from the Midwest, but the Midwest is not all chopper. There is no defining style of Midwest rap music except the geography of origin. I suggest creating a list of hip hop artists from this geography. Binksternet (talk) 19:00, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the introduction to make it more than just s list of subgenres. There's more sources on it than east coast hip hop and an explanation that there's a bias towards midwest hip hop not being a real genre. Complexity or being nebulous doesn't mean it's not a genre as IDM demonstrates. IDM is a nebulous genre with very minimal defining characteristics that even its creators reject as a label and argue isn't a real genre. Same with progressive music. Just like midwest hip hop. If were deleting midwest hip hop based off citations then we should delete east coast hip hop which has way less citations, progressive music and the IDM pages to by this logic. I even explained the distinct influences and lyricism in general for it. I've added sources explaining why it's a genre in and of itself as well as demonstrating the overlap between subregions sounds. At least a few of them. Synthesis is based on sources and patterns it reveals. This is not original research since the citations justify these conclusions. The entire explanation for why it is in the introduction is not entirely synthesis. Many parts are just stating exactly what those articles say. even then extrapolating based on patterns of data from cited sources is not original research that would violate Wikipedia's synthesis policy. A loosely connected genre is still a genre. I have sources that clearly demonstrate there are connecting characteristics between subregions sounds that make it a genre even if those could be considered subgenres of this genre. Umbrella terms as shown by the other articles I mentioned can be genres if there's a minimal set of characteristics. This page thus should be seen as a page needing improvement and based off this it shouldn't be deleted based of wikipedia's own deletion standard. Matsuiny2004 (talk) 19:25, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's just the thing. It has a fractured geographic "scene" identity related to various metropolitan city scenes—there's a Dallas scene, a Chicago scene, etc. There is nothing tying the whole midwest area together and it's not a definable musical genre.

    This is currently a C-class article. The rater tool suggests it should be at least a B. There's lots of information here, sourced with 105 citations. It seems solid. To say it is, I'd need to spend a lot of time reviewing. Even just he first two citations seems to suggest it's specifically a notable thing. But I don't know the sources well enough to say they are. So it seems this is a clear keep. But for me to !vote as such, I'd want to be more certain. Can the people who know and support keeping this make it easier for me to reach conclusions by sharing the top three best sources, ones that are at the intersection of this exact topic and being reliable sources with significant coverage? For now I'm "leaning keep" but will upgrade or downgrade depending on what people say about my comments here. CT55555 (talk) 15:50, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This is a list of hip-hop artists from the Midwest, and a description of local music scenes. It is a synthesis of ideas from other article, with nothing to support that "Midwest hip hop" is a unique genre. The only explanation in the article is the unencyclopedic "The Midwest style is also more complex with funkier vibes than what you would hear from the coasts." Funkier vibes? Some of the sources cited which try to explain this genre include:
  • "very real and non-pretentious".
  • "The Midwest in particular is considered to be a melting pot of styles".
  • "A lot of rap enthusiasts have trouble pinpointing exactly what the Midwest sound is like".
  • "The Midwest is the bastard child of the American rap scene at large -- unsung and independent, with a massive chip on its shoulder".
  • "It's just grittier".
  • The Midwest style "truly reflects the times. The artists lived the lives they rap about. The lyrics can be overwhelming, but they are truth. They tell the stories about what they have experienced".
  • "Besides the reality of the rhymes, the accompanying music is also unique. 'The Midwest style is also more complex with funkier vibes than what you would hear from the coasts'".
I looked for additional sources and found Hip Hop in America, A Regional Guide, which offered no definition of Midwest hip hop, explaining that "Midwest hip hop artists don't have a well-trodden musical path to follow" (p. 314). Magnolia677 (talk) 10:45, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This articles as the same problems as the recently deleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United States Navy SEALs in popular culture, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Delta Force in popular culture Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Defense Intelligence Agency in popular culture and like. Mainly: "mostly unreferenced TVtropic listcruft." Like them, it fails numerous policies, guidelines and like: as an 'in popular culture' article, WP:IPC and MOS:POPCULT/TRIVIA, as a list, WP:NLIST and WP:SALAT, as a potential topic, WP:GNG and WP:INDISCRIMINATE, due to lack of references, WP:OR and WP:V. This just more of the mostly unreferenced trivia ("In Ronin, Robert De Niro portrays a former CIA officer."). The tiny amount of prose content is either irrelevant or likewise, trivial descripions. This type of content is not encyclopedic - it's pure OR that belongs at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/CIA . Note that like often, BEFORE and even the Furter reading section suggests this topic is notable (well, perhaps as CIA in culture>CIA in popular culture, see this discussion,but nothing here is redeemable, so WP:TNT is needed (although the further reading section does provide useful sources, so if anyone feels like rewriting this into even a stub, go for it).

  • Delete per all. This isn't a notable topic because it doesn't include any reliable independent sources about the CIA in fiction, as per WP:GNG and WP:SALAT. There is a consensus about this. (It's possible that new sources could write a new article that meets our policies, but there would be nothing to WP:PRESERVE from the current article, and it would be a WP:TNT situation.) Shooterwalker (talk) 14:17, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leaning delete I agree with the nominator here, none of the sources seem to be about the topic. Fans of this article can easily make me reverse this decision by simply showing a book, a news article, an academic paper about CIA in fiction and I'll pivot in a second. Until then, I'm not convinced. CT55555 (talk) 15:53, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Largely consists of non-notable pop culture trivia, with no real sources that discuss the actual overall concept of the CIA's portrayals in fiction. There are some legitimate sources discussing some of the specific examples, but cobbling them together without any sources actually discussing the overall topic is WP:SYNTH. For example, there are a couple of legit sources discussing the section on Charlie Wilson's War, but we already have an article on Charlie Wilson's War to include this information, and those sources do not discuss the portrayal of the CIA in fiction beyond that.

This article suffers from heavy WP:OR, WP:RS, WP:SYNTH, WP:VER and WP:POV issues. Examples can be found in the discussions at [30] [31]. It has already been established that WP:RS heavily contradicts this article and its contents (such as the newly created article Safavid Arabestan).

  • Keep I do not see any reason why this article should be deleted. There has been a continuous attack on the article's page by those attempting to erase the Arab history of the region in question. It appears that the same 4-5 accounts are constantly on the offensive trying to remove as much information that discusses the Arab identity of this region. From what I understand primary sources can be used on wikipedia, but instead every primary source used on the article was removed as "original research". I do not think that official British documents from the British archives are original research. And even if they are, the page doesn't have any archive material left, so why the WP:OR? Instead of trying to help form a better article, the 4-5 contributors have gone out of their way to remove as much material as possible. It doesn't take much to do some research and see many references to the Emirate of Arabistan both in English and other languages, unlike the newly created page "Safavid Arabestan" with its newly created name that has no historical mention whatsoever. VivereInPace (talk) 15:20, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If it doesn't take much research, then why do you keep attempting to add WP:OR sources to the article, as you have just done recently? [33] Unlike this fictional article, Safavid Arabestan is backed by high quality academic sources (I.B.Tauris, Brill, etc) and leading scholars (Rudi Matthee, Willem Floor, etc), and which haven't been mixed together either for that matter (WP:SYNTH). I highly advise you to read the afromentioned rules, as well as WP:SPS and WP:PRIMARY. Also, all of those 4-5 users are established users, not just some randoms. There's nothing wrong with removing information that violates several guidelines, but there is certainly in adding. I can't help but feel all this looks like tendentious editing. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:30, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know what WP:OR is? Or do you just like throwing it around every time you see something that you don't like?
The definition of original research in the policy is: material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist.
This definition is clarified in a footnote: By "exists", the community means that the reliable source must have been published and still exist—somewhere in the world, in any language, whether or not it is reachable online—even if no source is currently named in the article. Articles that currently name zero references of any type may be fully compliant with this policy—so long as there is a reasonable expectation that every bit of material is supported by a published, reliable source.
You cannot declare something to be original research merely because the current version of the article does not name a reliable source for that material. Content is only original research when no source in the entire world could be cited to support that material. If you are reasonably certain that any reliable source (anywhere in the world, in any language) says the same thing, then this is not original research.[1]
Also, the link that you provided on Edgar O'Ballance doesn't say that he is just a journalist, but that he is a military journalist, researcher, defence commentator and academic lecturer specialising in international relations and defence problems. Seems pretty reliable to me. And I don't see why there is a problem with the source as the history of Arabistan is relevant in the context of the Gulf War.VivereInPace (talk) 19:01, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Considering there are zero (reliable) sources that support the history of this so called 15-20th-century Emirate of Arabistan which you made through a mix of WP:SYNTH, non-WP:RS, etc ([34]), then yes, I still stand by that you are engaging in WP:OR, amongst other violations of guidelines, such as at least WP:RS, WP:SYNTH, WP:VER. It is not for nothing that huge amounts of information have been removed by veteran editors [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] and several discussions have been made against it, including one where you mixed several sources together to push a certain point of view, a section where you failed to answer Pahlevun [43] What relevance does O'Ballance's qualifications have to do with this historical topic? Is it his military journalist background? No? His 'research' (whatever that could be)? No? No His defense commentary? No? His academic lecturing in international and defense problems? No? Then what is it then? Could these qualifications be relevant for modern events? Probably. Since you just read WP:OR, you might want to read WP:SPS next. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:26, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Still not WP:OR. The Emirate of Arabistan has historically existed so you can't say that it is original research when there are sources that say that it did. And there are currently no self published sources on the page so I don't know why you are mentioning WP:SPS. The points that you are making are specific to contributions. If there are still any problems within the page, they should be resolved. That does not mean that an entire article should be deleted. In addition, given that the history of Arabistan has been suppressed it is more difficult to find secondary material, especially in English, hence the use of primary sources and even O'Ballance, who, despite everything you said, is still an academic writing about a historical event. VivereInPace (talk) 20:19, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You still haven't explained (just like how you haven't explained a lot of things, including Pahlevun's recent concerns in the diff above) how O'Ballance is reliable, when he is not specialized in this field, not even being an actual academic historian. Anyways, we could sit and argue all day. Ultimately the diffs speak for themselves. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:32, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If I have not managed to convince you that the O'Ballance source is unreliable then you should remove it. Similarly, all the issues that have been identified have been removed. And if there are future issues on the page, you can also remove them. Again, nothing that you are saying warrants a deletion of the page. There is also plenty of work to be done shed light on the history of this region.VivereInPace (talk) 11:33, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Per persistent failure of the creator of this page to rebuff the sound concerns raised at the article's talk page, over a very long period of times, all of which are based on numerous core WP policies (WP:OR, WP:RS, WP:SYNTH, etc.). Their persistent attempts at sweeping these justified concerns under the carpet, combined with their only interest being a very small part of Iranian history, I believe they are finding themselves deep within WP:OWN, WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS, WP:AGENDA and WP:TENDENTIOUS territory, which will probably require ANI at some point (we may have crossed this line a long time ago already). Their attempts at labeling numerous established Wikipedia users as "the same 4-5 accounts" only serves to reinforce this. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:12, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Again, not a reason to delete the whole page. As per Wikipedia, "It is better to improve an article than to delete it for not being good enough." And you are absolutely right in saying that the history of Arabistan is "a very small part of Iranian history", because it is. Arabistan (and by Arabistan I am referring to what is today the south western part of Khuzestan and not the entire province) shares more with the rest of the eastern Arab world than it does with anywhere in Iran. VivereInPace (talk) 11:33, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You do realize the term "Arabistan" applied to southwestern Khuzestan only dates back since the Safavid period, yes? And as I pointed out in the talk page [44], this article hasn't yet decided what exactly it should be. There was no "Emirate of Arabistan", there was an (attested) Emirate of Muhammarah, ruled by the Bani Ka'ab from 18th-early 20th century, and there was a "Province of Arabistan" (since 16th century to 1925). The two are separate concepts since the former sometimes only controlled a sliver of Arabistan and the latter's borders changed wildly over the centuries. This current article seems to have an identity crisis between being "Emirate of Muhammarah", "Safavid/Qajar Arabistan", and "History of Arabs in Khuzestan". All three subjects while related are extremely different in their timeframes and details and splitting this article into those three components makes a lot more sense than arguing over whether the article title is legitimate or not. Lastly, conspiracy theories about "history suppression" and other nonsense is the kind of stuff belonging on forums, not on Wikipedia. --Qahramani44 (talk) 00:45, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. While I believe the article must be improved and some sections are poorly written, I oppose to removing most of Wikipedia pages on historical subjects. In particular, this subject seems notable and needs additional review, and probably second opinion of the experts on the Arabic history. I also wonder why no one tried to improve the article as Wikipedia policy clearly requests to first try to improve it. If necessary, I'm ready to do some additional research in the coming weeks and leave the sources (if found) on the Talk page for a new discussion. --Evilfreethinker (talk) 06:19, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That’s the issue. This article is not a historical subject. Qahramani’s comment up above yours perfectly summed it up. --HistoryofIran (talk) 12:01, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And here are the results of the key words search:

My point is that there are plenty of sources to be found and improve the page based even on the initial search here. I see no sense in deleting the article only because it is poorly written. We are not talking about company or a person here, - it is a historical region. However, I may agree that "Arabistan" might be more appropriate and I do not mind to change the page's title, and it most certainly has to be improved. --Onetimememorial (talk) 19:06, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:RS and WP:SPS, those first two links are far from reliable. The two remaining links are just searches for it (no one is disputing the existence of the word 'Arabistan' either). Moreover, it seems that you did not read the diffs above either. If people are going to come with their opinion, experienced or not, could they please do it at least somewhat thoroughly? --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:14, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I'm probably not an expert on Arab or Persian history but I still did some research. Now I feel that you are trying to diminish my vote by implying "I'm an expert and you are not". I don't think it is a constructive discussion if someone is condescending in dialogue - what do you think?
  • Second, you simply stated the the two first articles are not reliable. Can you detail why they are not reliable?
  • Third, I just realized that there this topic exists on three more pages - Punjabi, Arabic and Urdu. I also noticed that most of the people here are experts on the history of Iran but my point is that if the page exists in three more languages that means that we need more experts who know those languages. This is why I think it is preliminary to delete and I now change my opinion to speedy keep. --Onetimememorial (talk) 17:58, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Existing in different languages doesnt make this article anymore legitimate. As for your question, kindly click on those links I linked up above, as those will address it. Also, I apologize if you found my tone concending, that was not my intention - I will try to do better in that regard. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:49, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
First article seems fine, second article is from Al-Arabiya which is the state media of Saudi Arabia. In the Emirate of Arabistan Google Books link you sent a couple of the (first page) books appear to be questionable (one by David Frum who seems to be a political partisan not a historian, one near the bottom which appears to be written by the Syrian Ba'ath). The second link shows mostly 19th-century (British) primary sources so their use should consider WP:PRIMARY principles. Other than that no issues in my opinion, it's mostly about sorting historians from political partisans. --Qahramani44 (talk) 23:03, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: A lot of the arguments for deletion seem to be based on verification issues. While problematic, this is not a reason for deletion. The state of the content has no bearing on notability, and this state existed and is discussed by sources, and, in fact, my Google Scholar search terms up at least four sources not even used here discussing the state's occupation, annexation and general status, dating it from at least 1857 to 1923. If the deletion argument was that the current piece is so bad that it should be removed from mainspace, then I would expect arguments for either draftification or WP:TNT, but there are neither here. And again, there does not appear to be an issue with notability. Iskandar323 (talk) 14:02, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'll point out that my suggestion of splitting the article is basically the same as WP:TNT, so "there are neither here" is incorrect. I don't think anyone here is disputing the existence of Arabistan as a historical region, only how the article + its title portrays it. --Qahramani44 (talk) 22:52, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But it is incredibly likely, and so our time would better be spent discussing all the tiny private schools that have been around for a few years. Discussing large, very old schools is (IMO), a waste of time.

        • No, we need reliable, independent, in-depth sources. Not guesswork. The Banner talk 14:37, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          • There are dozens of RS in the article. There are hundreds on the internet. This is not guesswork, this is you don't like it. There is a book that goes into great detail about the school. There is evidence of a great many historical offline documents. Even if these sources were not currently in the article, policy clearly states at WP:NEXIST " Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility that sources may still exist even if their search failed to uncover any." Are you saying your opinion overrides policy? Jacona (talk) 15:04, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          I'll do a proper search later. Normally, I would have come to this discussion armed with sources. However, the size of the school makes me almost 100% certain they exist. Since late 2020, I have only encountered 1 AFD of an American secondary school with more than 400 students where the article was ultimately deleted.

I have had a draft on this subject sitting in my sandbox since December and the reason I hadn't added it to mainspace then is the reason why I am nominating this article now; WP:GNG is still not met and the driver's accomplishments don't pass WP:NMOTORSPORT. Appears to have been added on the premise of him attempting (and fialing) to qualify for a single 2nd-tier NASCAR race in an attempt to make a database on NASCAR drivers, which Wikipedia is not (hence the use of infobox:NASCAR driver in mainspace as opposed to infobox:racing driver that should be used for a driver who's actually made starts in IMSA and Trans-Am). -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 04:18, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Glossary of areas of mathematics

[edit]
AfDs for this article:
Glossary of areas of mathematics (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A glossary requires that the entries are well defined. This is not the case of subareas of mathematics.

The relationships between areas of mathematics are very complicated (inclusion, common subareas, etc.), and are completely hidden by the glossary structure. This glossary is exactly as meaningless as would be a flat list of Wikipedia categories.

Moreover, most item descriptions are WP:OR or WP:NPOV, when they are not blatantly wrong.

So, I suggest to delete this article D.Lazard (talk) 14:24, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I forgot that, six months ago, I submitted already ⋅this article for deletion, and the result was keep. However, I do not withdraw this nomination, because Mathematics#Areas of mathematics has been written since the previous discussion, and this section may change the result of the discussion. D.Lazard (talk) 14:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The value of a glossary is not given by the relationship between concepts referred to in the glossary, no matter how complicated those relationships are. The alphabetic structure of a glossary is standard for a glossary to avoid conceptual disputes. Glossaries are standard on Wikipedia, and are useful for their linguistic features such as diachronic phenomena, semantics, pragmatics etc. There are definitions of areas of mathematics in existence, and areas of mathematics have been talked about for hundreds if not thousands of years, so conceptually they exist too. If we're able to speak about the glossary contents within corresponding articles, then we're able to speak about them in the glossary too. A lack of interest should not be a reason of deletion. Brad7777 (talk) 12:59, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment In contrast to physical books, if there is a term someone don't understand in an article, it should be wikilinked. But I think this list can find mathematical objects X that don't even know their names. That said, if someone accesses an article on the list, it doesn't mean that they can always understand the article they visited, so this list meets WP: technicall. That is, each term in this list should be given a summary. --SilverMatsu (talk) 23:52, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Not only "each term in this list should be given a summary", but this summary must not contradict the linked article (presently, there are many such contradictions), and the summary must make explicit the relationship between areas (inclusions and partial inclusions). This latter functionality would better be fulfilled with a Wikipedia category Category:Areas of mathematics. So, I incline to add to my !vote delete the recommendation of creating such a category. D.Lazard (talk) 07:36, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment A category would not encompass many types of relationships between terminology used as areas of mathematics. For example, categories do not include synonyms. Also, about 10 years ago a category for areas of mathematics was found to be problematic by the mathematics community for reasons such as the choice of word "area" over others such as a "branch", "subdivision", as well the inclusivity criteria. The advantage a glossary has, is the opportunity of explanation with inclusion. It should be consistent with the articles too. Brad7777 (talk) 07:32, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: The dispute was about Category: Subdivisions of mathematics, with Category: Fields of mathematics persevering. The dispute consisted of inclusivity criteria; fields of fields were deemed unworthy of inclusion, with indirect links being "decided" as sufficient. Brad7777 (talk) 08:01, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I don’t think just deleting the article is a good way to go. I agree that there is some difficulty writing the article like this because of various ambiguities. The deletion, however, is not an answer. —- Taku (talk) 18:06, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment IMHO we should have some canonical listing of areas of mathematics, so as to help readers navigate the field. Right now, unfortunately, we have several such listings, which are fairly different from each other:
Though I think the first and last should be kept as neat navigational tools, I think we should all merge the other three into Outline of mathematics or some title like that and accept for now that the resulting article will contain some OR. Maybe if someone wants an alphabetized listing we can keep Glossary of areas of mathematics as an article, but its usefulness as a redirect to the canonical list is sketchy.

Sadly its how it is, I rarely ever see content actually improved in draftspace.★Trekker (talk) 16:25, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - unconvincing repetition of a delete rationale previously shown to be weak. No reference was made in the nom to the fairly recent keep consensus of D.Lazard's last AfD; I commented then on the weakness of that nomination, although I did not !vote. If I was to summarise the consensus of that AfD, I would say that participants found that it was not shown that the glossary was useless and several editors thought it was in fact useful, that Wikipedia benefits from a plurality of ways of finding material, and that the claimed arbitrariness of the inclusion criterion was not borne out by the reasonable quality of the glossary. This nom essentially ignores that previous discussion, starting with a sentence that contradicts the consensus of the previous AfD without observing that fact, which is poor practice. Don't renominate an article for deletion unless you are able to make a stronger case and willing to it properly. — Charles Stewart (talk) 11:37, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Please read the discussion before accusing other editors. The previous afd is mentioned in my comment done immediately after the nomination (9 minutes later). I explained there the reason for not withdrawing the nomination, namely that there is now a better description of the areas of mathematics, at Mathematics#Areas of mathematics.

Non-notable game engine. One source is a press relief. Of the remaining sources, one doesn't directly mention the engine at all, and the rest are one sentence name drops.

More sources were added after I opened this AFD, but none are an improvement.

  • Merge - I can see the sourcing to write a small blurb at the parent article, but not enough to meet the GNG or warrant a spin-out. Sergecross73 msg me 12:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, though I wouldn't be heartbroken by a merge, either. It's only used in two games (two-and-a-half?), but they were fairly major titles. The article isn't huge, but it looks pretty well-sourced and doesn't appear to have any major issues. I'd be afraid that detail would be lost if it were merged to the Eidos-Montréal (parent company) article, which honestly isn't much larger than this article. Interestingly, I note that Eidos-Montréal doesn't mention or link to this article at all, which should probably be addressed whatever the outcome here.

  • Merge to Eidos Montreal per OceanHok's rationale. In my own search I was not able to find many sources that were not either primary sources or only mentioning the engine in the context of publicizing the games that used it, which leads me to believe that it is only notable in the context of those two games and their creators. The information should be appropriately incorporated into the pages covering those topics (like under the "Development" section of the page for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided for instance, where it is already covered in about as much if not more detail than this page), but the engine is not in and of itself notable, and to most Wikipedia readers will only be of interest in the context of the games developed with it. It is therefore, in my opinion, better off with WP:NOPAGE. Joyce-stick (talk) 23:18, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Merging to the company responsible for development would be the outcome most consistent with the precedent at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Glacier (game engine). — Charles Stewart (talk) 10:57, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Eidos Montreal per OceanHok. In the absence of substantial use of the engine by other game developers, I don't see much reason for departing from the precedent noted above. My only reservation about the merge is that the game engines documented by these two AfDed articles share a development history, suggesting a case for a common article, but we appear to lack the sources to write this article. I would support creation of an independent article if adequate sourcing were to come to light. — Charles Stewart (talk) 10:57, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
