Tyumen Oblast in the Turkvision Song Contest

[edit]
Tyumen Oblast in the Turkvision Song Contest (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)
I am nominating the following pages, all because of WP:GNG (WP:SIGCOV/WP:ONESOURCE)

Follow-up to:

Except for the websites turkvision.info, turkvizyon.tv etc. of the organisation Turkvision / Turkvizyon itself, or the various broadcasters of the event (WP:PRIMARY), and Anthony Granger of Eurovoix, nobody seems to have been interested in covering these countries' participation in this event. There are a few exceptions in which a third source is invoked, but that's usually not an WP:RS either. Some examples:

  • Gagauzia: govt website Gagauzia.md is invoked for the claim that an incentive of 10,000 Moldovan leu was given to get people to participate. Which is probably true, but the participant in question, Ludmila Tukan, failed to qualify... I'm not impressed.
  • Germany: aufrechtgehn.de/impressum/ is just a WP:SELFPUB blog. I'm not impressed. Turkshow.de / dugun.tv is the German broadcaster of Turkvision, so a WP:PRIMARY source.
  • Khakassia: r-19.ru is the official website of the Government of the Republic of Khakassia. It is only invoked to confirm the name of the song of the 2020 Khakassian contestant, who ended in 11th place... I'm not impressed.
  • Northern Cyprus: kibrisgenctv.com is the local broadcaster of Turkvision, so a WP:PRIMARY source.
  • Poland: eurowizja.org is the website of the Association of Enthusiasts of the Eurovision Song Contest OGAE Polska. This may be a relevant source, it may even be a reliable source, and it is independent of Turkvision. (This is why I hesitated until today, 10 a.m. of 9 June, to include this Poland page in this AfD). But it is invoked only once to support 2 sentences about Polish participation in the 2020 (online) edition of Turkvision, and this is the only time the article Poland in the Turkvision Song Contest invokes any source other than Turkvision.info itself, or other than our great friend Anthony Granger from Eurovoix. What is the result of this whole page? A contestant from Poland tried to participate in the 2016 and 2017 editions (both of which were cancelled), and the only contestant who actually managed to participate in the 2020 edition came in at 18th place. I think this last bit, plus the eurowizja.org ref, can easily be mentioned in Turkvision Song Contest 2020. So the best option in this case may be more of a manual merge than an outright deletion, but there is a large number of stuff in this article that is probably not worth keeping, so I'm still including the page in this AfD.
  • Belarus: qanunpress.com deadlink. This newsoutlet was only established in 2015, the article dates from 12 December 2015, it's a deadlink, and there is no indication of any editorial review or policy other than that the General Director is Vidadi Gozalov. This is the only article in English Wikipedia that ever cites qanunpress.com, it is not mentioned by any other major news media. So I'm gonna count this as an unreliable source, and add Belarus to this AfD (noon 9 June).

From the Russia article, I would include one significant fact into the main article Turkvision Song Contest, namely that the Russian Ministry of Culture banned all Russian regions from competing in the 2015 contest because it was part of the TURKSOY organisation. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:59, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. As pointed out by the nominator, these articles fail on a number of points, including WP:GNG, WP:SINGLESOURCE and a lack of diverse WP:RS to support the continued hosting of these articles. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 07:43, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Observation (as nom) Several articles that appear to use more than just Anthony Granger of Eurovoix, Turkvision itself or its broadcasters, or questionable/perennial other sources, appear to be those on Azerbaijan. Indeed, sources with an .az domain name or otherwise written in Azerbaijani are sometimes found in other pages, such as the one on Belarus. This could mean that a single editor has been behind the creation of many if not all of these pages. xtools.wmcloud.org/pages shows, however, that one user created only 8 Turkvision-related pages (5 of which have been deleted so far, including one about Azerbaijan which I nomimated; the remaining 4 are all about Azerbaijan). But they also created lots of Eurovision pages, all except 1 have not been deleted so far. So there is no reason to hold bias against this person (who is actually one of the better editors in the field of song contests), and the pages must have been created by multiple people, even if they all rely pretty heavily on the same type of sources. I haven't included the last 4 pages on Azerbaijan for this reason yet, they might pass WP:GNG. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 12:19, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on the future of Turkvision articles At the moment, I think the main articles Turkvision Song Contest, Turkvision Song Contest 2013, Turkvision Song Contest 2014, Turkvision Song Contest 2015, Turkvision Song Contest 2020, and the Azerbaijan articles will pass WP:GNG. The remaining ones (almost all of which I have nominated above) probably do not pass WP:GNG. Any relevant information from the nominated articles may be manually merged into the articles which do pass general notability. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 12:47, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on Turkvision's history and future in general It seems to me that the reason why Turkvision has not been able to become a successful recurring event had to do with external factors which neither the organisation nor the broadcasters can probably be held responsible for, as they were beyond their control. As our friend Anthony Granger from Eurovoix reported on 7 December 2015: It has been reported by the press in Tatarstan that all regions of Russia that were due to compete in the 3rd Turkvizyon and 1st Bala Turkvizyon Song Contest have withdrawn from the competition. The withdrawal of Russia’s regions from the contest came after the Ministry of Culture banned Altai Republic, Bashkortostan, Khakassia, Tatarstan, Tuva and the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) from remaining as members of TURKSOY. Granger does not further analyse why this happened, but it seems that this had to do with the fact that Turkey and Russia were on opposing sides in the Syrian civil war since 2015, and political tensions were running high. The International Organization of Turkic Culture (TURKSOY) is based in Ankara, Turkey, and exists to strengthen the ties of brotherhood and solidarity among Turkic peoples (...). Apparently the federal government of Russia no longer wanted any of its constituent republics or regions to participate in organisations or events hosted in Turkey (Turkvision Song Contest 2015 was held in Istanbul, Turkey on 19 December 2015) or primarily organised by Turkey – which it was indirectly at war with – which could potentially make the "Turkic" subjects of the Russian Federation disloyal to "Moscow", or otherwise more loyal to "Ankara". This appears to have been a heavy blow to the potential future of Turkvision. I've read contradictory claims about why the 2016 edition was cancelled; either due to the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt, or the December 2016 Istanbul bombings. Either way, this combination of political and military instability in Turkey, the wider region and its diplomatic conflicts with countries or regions of countries which would have sent contestants appears to have been behind Turkvision's eventual demise. The only reason why the 2020 edition appears to have been able to go ahead was because it was held online, like so many events during the early Covid-19 pandemic. All subsequent editions have been cancelled again. If this is true, then maybe it wasn't anything the organisers did wrong, but political and military tensions, conflicts and instability beyond their control. Otherwise this might have developed into a successful recurring contest like Eurovision. In that sense it is perhaps a tragedy that it never became as notable and successful, and we're kind of left to clean up the remains of something which never became quite as notable as it could have been. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 12:47, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. This is not the Eurovision Song Contest, where the per country articles are justified. The show is important enough to carry annual editions. That's already something! In the list above, especially the per country/region AND year articles are way over the top. As for the regular by country or region articles, these summarizing stats will be sufficent. The by country/region list could be extended with zero medals countries. Elsewhere in the Turkvision Song Contest article, the canceled editions can be added to a list, detailing what had been decided by the time of cancellation. Greater point – also for other nominations and editing – is that folks rush to create totally unnecessary SPINOFFs without making sure that all information readers will look for is in the main article. gidonb (talk) 13:31, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Would you also agree with my point that the Azerbaijan pages are an exception to this rule, and should be kept? Or have I missed something, and should we consider them for nomination as well? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All Turkvison by country/region articles deserve to be deleted. gidonb (talk) 04:49, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree that all Turkvision country/region articles should be deleted. I do not see why Azerbaijan in the Turkvision Song Contest should be an exception, while there are a scattering of other source it is still primarily based on WP:ONESOURCE and should also be considered for deletion. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 14:14, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per nom. I agree with Nederlandse Leeuw's points. This contest never caught on to the extent where individual country articles would be necessary, and certainly not individual country articles for each edition. There has been a continual lack of reporting on the event by media for years outside of Anthony Granger rewriting information from the contest's site. Grk1011 (talk) 13:42, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    I think that 2013, 2014, and 2015 should also be deleted. While there may be additional sources for Azerbaijan in particular, I'm still not convinced that the contest's overall notability warrants this level of detail. I'm also extremely uncomfortable with the "incubation" of the artist and song information. Both are also awkwardly repetitive. The life of the artist is completely irrelevant and is only included because it otherwise does not meet the inclusion criteria for its own page. Grk1011 (talk) 16:56, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/redirect. There is something encyclopedic here, but not at that level of WP:FANCRUFT/detail. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:20, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree, but I would suggest that we should be very selective about which material is worth manually merging into the articles we will be keeping, and the stuff that can go as irrelevant or poorly sourced. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:32, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all per nom.  // Timothy :: talk  01:34, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting to consider possibility of redirecting and whether these articles should ALL be considered for deletion or selectively.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:34, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz Why? The result is clear. I recycled the one reference at Russia in the Turkvision Song Contest I wanted to recycle, so I've got nothing else to salvage. Poland in the Turkvision Song Contest is the only other article I (or anyone else) specifically suggested would be worth manually merging to anything else, but nobody has mentioned Poland ever again. Piotrus and The person who loves reading suggested Redirect/Merge, but did not specify anything in particular to be merged. With 5 Delete All versus 2 Redirect/Merge, the latter two not specifying what should be "Merged" exactly (after I implicitly asked Piotrus to specify what should be 'very selective[ly]' merged, receiving no response), there's nothing to consider for a selective merger. If you like, we can keep the Poland article for now, but I will nominate it again in my next round where I will also include the Azerbaijan articles (as demanded by everyone whom I asked).

I became aware of this article from a post that an IP made at BLPN [3] (that they later deleted). This article has a chequered history, having been created by a sockpuppeteer and has seemingly received a lot of promotional editing, which has since been repeatedly cut down. I'm just not seeing any coverage that passes WP:GNG, including coverage in previous versions of the article. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:44, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A thorough WP:BEFORE was carried out in Greek, revealing the following sources:

  • A transfer announcement by Omonia, coverage not going beyond the routine announcement
  • A similar announcement for Ermis Aradippou
  • An article in Sigmalive about him being considered for transfer to Bayern, purely speculative article with no depth
  • A two sentence article in Phileleftheros about him being involved in the national youth team.
  • A further article on his college football performance merely mentions him by name [14]

I also note the link to an interview in the article, which is now sadly dead. I do not think that this would change the outcome of my assessment though.

As such the article fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSCRIT due to the lack of significant coverage about the subject. GGT (talk) 14:55, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Spam sources, we really need to blacklist some of these. 17 year old Nigerian "internet entrepreneur" who is famous enough to be featured in Bangladesh[15] with his company "Sam Marketer", which according to their own website "Sam Marketer provides top-notch digital marketing services, including Wikipedia article creation"[16] where they also claim to have worked for Real Madrid! No evidence of this can be found, of course. Typical use of "articles" in "newspapers" where you just pay to get a profile online, making it look as if you are really successful. Nothing reliable could be found to establish that they have received any independent attention. Fram (talk) 13:29, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep - see Vanguard (Nigeria) and The Guardian (Nigeria). These are major national newspapers in Nigeria. The subject clearly meets the notability requirements. I don't find the content of the newspaper articles very compelling but that's true of 100,000's of Wikipedia articles on North American topics and their North American references. The writing style of the newspaper articles is a bit florid but if you read the Nigerian press, that's typical. --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 18:28, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This is clearly a scam page. An entrepreneur who dropped out of university and started a company which is now doing so well hes had multiple articles published about him, by 17 years old?
    Those publications might not be as trustworthy as you think if they're writing about fluff pieces about teenage 'entrepreneurs'. Nswix (talk) 19:41, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, there's no shortage in North America of people who're famous for being famous. As I said, I'm personally not very interested in this person; should this person be notable -- I don't think so. I'd delete about 20% of our articles if it were up to me to decide based on what should be notable. But that's not the basis of our notability requirements. Like it or not, this kid's in the national news.
    I go by what is notable and that will be the closing admin's approach, too.
    Those newspapers are the national newspapers I read while in Nigeria. Their tone is distinctly Nigerian.--A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 19:56, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    These articles are paid for crapvertising, and these newspapers should be blacklisted, as we clearly can´t trust them to post articles based on objective newsworthiness or truthfulness. We shouldn´t tolerate such practices to govern Wikipedia content even if these are the main newspapers of a large country. The claims in the article can not be matched to anything in reality, just like the claims on the company website (Real Madrid???) are completely imaginary. The "article" in the Bengali newspaper just gives more evidence of the intent behind and the reason for these articles, paid for promotion. Fram (talk) 21:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Delete based on this comment by User:JoelleJay at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Omogboye Saheed Ayodeji. It cites a journalism expert discussing rampant Nigerian journalism corruption.

Unneeded disambiguation page; can be handled just using hatnotes. {{one other topic}} was added 4 months ago, and no entries have been added to the page since – the only thing that seems like a potential new entry would be the literal bone of a monkey, but Monkey doesn't go into the skeletal structures of monkeys, and I don't know where else on Wikipedia that information would be, so there's no article to link to. A previous entry of "a monkey's bone" was refactored into the lede in 2009, before being removed when the {{one other topic}} template was added.

It has been the best-selling newspaper in Bangladesh, a country of over 160 million people, for the last ten years; if that does not suggest notability, then I do not what does. The article is in bad shape, but it can be improved.

Marked for speedy deletion under category A10 as previous article, simply titled Bryce James is a redirect to his father LeBron James.

If the editor that redirected that article, there is no reason IMHO that is worthy or recreating the article under another name. It is simply a way to get around an edit they don’t like. BostonMensa (talk) 14:32, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He is more notable than other local high school athletes because he's being reported on by multiple reliable sources. Sure, not necessarily because of his accomplishments but WP:GNG doesn't care about that. ~Kvng (talk) 14:54, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Seems flimsy argument at best. What I see here is he getting this attention because who is father is and I lost track of how many times people have said notability is not inherited. As far as I am concerned, it is about what he has accomplished, in this case on the basketball court and not the luck of the cosmic drawer on who his father is. I don’t see basketball accomplishments that make him as or more notable than his peers. 23:31, 31 May 2023 (UTC) BostonMensa (talk) 23:31, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You don't seem to disagree that he's received media attention. Sorry you don't like WP:BASIC. WP:INHERIT is about subjects that have not received their own coverage but are associated (e.g. by marriage, birth, etc.) with a notable subject.

The media being interested is meaningless re:being notable. On slow news days or if the News program has 45 seconds to fill, they will cover a double rainbow cross town. Doesn’t mean it is wikiworthy. BostonMensa (talk) 01:28, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The difference is WP:SUSTAINED coverage. The double rainbow only gets coverage for a brief period of time. If the same double rainbow persisted for years and got coverage over that period, that would make it notable. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 22:55, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

With all these badrefs, the article is left with few reliable sources (the Dawn articles being mostly trivial and the two nearly-identical Daily Times articles) with no other significant coverage. The article claims that Izat Ali Fateh Khan has performed on television, radio, and “has appeared in several programs numerous times”, which is not supported by the source listed. Claims of notability (particularly the claim that the subject has been featured on television, presumably national television) lack verifiability, hence failing notability guidelines.

This page has been nominated twice before for WP:NBIO issues, and both previous AfD noms failed to notice that while he has a degree of prominence among Nostraticists, that is itself a fringe theory well outside the mainstream academic consensus. While he has managed to get two books published by reputable sources, he himself mostly appears to self-publish for a community of adherents to the fringe theory and his work is not treated seriously by mainstream linguists. He is a notable figure in a fringe movement, not an academic field. This is important considering his work is entirely focused on that academic field. I don't believe he meets WP:FRINGEBLP considering he is mainly self-publishing to an already bought in audience. Warrenmck (talk) 00:15, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. An academic being wrong is not in itself a reason to delete an article, and Wikipedioa having an article on a controversial academic is not an endorsement of the academic or his beliefs. I would encourage people to read the previous deletion discussions to see why the article was kept before, as well as the now-removed claims (plausible not unverified) made in previous versions of the article. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:25, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    the person in question has never been, as far as any record exists, an academic. This is akin to a hobby physicist self-publishing theories which run counter to the understanding of physics for most of their career, minus two books which were published to zero acceptance. That’s actually my main point of contention with the previous AfDs and why I raised it again, this isn’t a “wrong academic”, it’s a fringe theorist. Altaic languages has a fair number of good examples of academic linguists who are considered wrong by their peers, but they absolutely have a place there. Bomhard does not.

  • Keep as before. Recognized as an independent scholar and as a proponent of the controversial Nostratic theory. Enough published book reviews for WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 12:48, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Most of his works are self published and he is not recognized as an independent scholar in the field. I implore people voting keep to verify these claims using non Wikipedia sources, since the content on Wikipedia was certainly heavily contributed by adherents to his fringe theory. Nostratic is controversial in the same way a young earth is at this juncture: it is completely rejected by the field and only presently explored under the guise of, effectively, pseudoscience.
    I don’t know if there is a mechanism to invoke the perspectives of more people from the Linguistics Wikiproject. I don’t want to come across as either trying to canvas votes or meat-puppet but there seems to be a deep and fundamental misunderstanding as to the nature of his work and acceptance in the field of linguistics. Most of his web presence is on Wikipedia itself and his notability seems to exclusively derive from how much he has been cited on Wikipedia by a fringe movement; he is neither an academic nor a credible scholar in the field. There are practically no off-wiki sources beyond a book review, and again, an overwhelming amount of his work is self published. Contrast this with Soviet Nostraticisits who are/were prominent in their field while holding a minority opinion but seriously publishing their work. Warrenmck (talk) 16:03, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps you misunderstood my use of the word "published". Although your claim that his books are self-published appears to be false (some but not all of them are), it is also irrelevant. What is relevant is that the reviews of his books, by other people, are reliably published. Therefore, they provide plenty of content on Bomhard's work that we can use to describe that work in an article. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:38, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I’ve tried to be clear that not all of his books are self published and have regularly said “except a few”, to be fair. But the reviews of his books by other people don’t inherently meet the standard for notability, especially given those represent the entire corpus of references to the author in the field. Your claim that he is a “recognized independent scholar” is still not really backed up by any of the references. A book review does not recognition or endorsement make. Warrenmck (talk) 18:41, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    In fact, multiple published book reviews are exactly the criteria we use to judge whether we have in-depth published independent coverage of a book author, exactly what notability under WP:GNG constitutes. Your use of the words "recognition" and "endorsement" indicate further misunderstanding. A Wikipedia article on a scholar is not an endorsement of their work. It is a neutral summary of their work and life. Your attempts to push an editorial perspective on our article, insisting that he is "fringe" based on a source that merely criticizes his work as inaccurate (a different thing), suggests that you are not taking the appropriately neutral approach to this subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:54, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Nostratic theory is considered a fringe theory in linguistics. To that effect I have asked the Linguistics Wikiproject to weigh in on this, but per our discussion on my talk page (and just to repeat it here):
    As the Nostratic affinity is in itself a fringe theory based on near-zero evidence, such speculation hardly lends credence to the model.
    (Turning Puns into Names and Vice Versa, Lillo, 2007)
    I am not presenting an editorialized point of view. I am presenting scholarly consensus on the status of Nostratic. It was a valid historical proposal and greater evidence and our improved understanding of the comparative method post-1960 ended most of the discussion of Nostratic. At present it is exclusviely the domain of adherents to it who take macrofamily proposals as a given and fall well outside the mainstream of academic consensus, and again I would overwhelmingly prefer other linguists chime in than just leaving me trying to explain that attempting to strike a "neutral" tone as you read it here runs against scholarly consensus and falls into WP:UNDUE territory. It necessitates elevating fringe linguists who are predominantly self publishing to the standing of academic linguists who have decades ago moved on from Nostratic.
    At present scholarly consensus is that the top level identified proto-languages (discussed in List of proto-languages) are genetically wholly unrelated, with a single possible exception. I would hope that my edits on linguists who advocate for Nostratic would make it clear that I'm not here to editorialize. My primary concern is first and foremost making sure that the information presented on Wikipedia is not editorialized in favour of a specific viewpoint, in fact.

  • Keep: per WP:AUTHOR based on multiple reviews of multiple works. TJMSmith (talk) 13:04, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series)
    How is this standard met? He published books, to be certain, but they are in no way well known or significant, and a majority of the reviews in question are pointing out the fringe nature of the theory.
    I’m not trying to change everyone’s minds here, I do worry that people unfamiliar with the field are taking it for granted that he is an academic from that field due to the academic press nature of two of his books. Bomhard has been consistently misrepresented on both Wikipedia articles and previous AfDs as a “controversial academic” when he is neither particularly controversial (as a nonentity espousing a fringe theory) nor an academic, despite the claims of the infobox on his article. It is certainly not impossible to have a fringe linguistics theory published by an academic press, but the standard for WP:NFRINGE should be higher here, and these articles are doing readers of Wikipedia a huge disservice by elevating an irrelevant figure who, to be clear, defined their entire career by self-publishing pseudoscience with three exceptions.
    I am not asking people to take my word for it, but please consider verifying the claims I’m making here if you’re going to make the claim that he is a “controversial academic”. Were his article to remain, for the sake of accuracy it would need to be reworked to discuss his role as a pseudolonguist rather than an academic, and none of his books would meet Wikipedia’s standards for inclusion as a source in any article other than his own. The article would necessarily be an orphan, as we don’t tend to include quack physicists in articles on physics and while Nostratic has had historical proponents and may warrant its article, it is one of historical interest. We don’t elevate the voices of alternate theories for our understanding of physics on those pages, though the historical understandings are certainly mentioned and of interest. But this isn’t a case of historical understandings or contributions, this is someone who used pseudoscience to continue developing an abandoned theory long after it was abandoned by scholarly consensus, which many of the reviews in question point out. Warrenmck (talk) 16:30, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep -- I've seen an article by him in what appeared to be a reputable scholarly journal (published before the rise of the Internet). Benjamin Whorf was basically an independent scholar without much in the way of formal academic credentials. Also, I don't see why believing in Nostratic means that your article should be deleted -- the article of Aharon Dolgopolsky, a rather widely-known scholar, should certainly not be deleted. AnonMoos (talk) 19:51, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Worf was publishing in an era where linguistics was much more defined by informal research, and pointedly he didn't spend decades publishing theories that ran counter to the academic consensus in the lack of evidence (indeed, his theories were influential in part because of the testability of his hypotheses). Keep in mind that there are plenty of high-quality articles about Nostraticists on Wikipedia (see: Sergei Starostin), they're just predominantly academics who continued working on the idea rather than people who were branching off saying all the other Nostratcisists were wrong and putting forward their own alternative to zero fanfare decades after scholarly consensus had moved on. I think this is more akin to someone continuing to work on homeopathy post the water memory paper being discredited. A fair and proper treatment of the Bomhard article would result in it being an orphaned stub, which it's increasingly converging on in the time since this AfD was posted as others work on cleaning the article.

The locally produced children's show, which aired weekdays on WFFT, Channel 55, boasted an audience of thousands, a two-year wait for tickets and a host - Happy the Hobo - who gave a generation of kids its first glimpse at bulging biceps. But after nearly two decades on the air, Happy the Hobo and his sidekick Froggy... disappeared.

WP:BLP of a criminal without clear evidence of passing WP:PERP. This is a low-profile person who does not clearly pass either the ten year test for enduring significance, or the standards at PERP for when an article about a criminal is actually warranted.
Instead, the article started out as a poorly sourced sports BLP on the basis of his previously having played field hockey at a level that might possibly have passed the sports notability standards of 2006 but certainly doesn't pass the sports notability standards of 2023, and then by 2009 it featured such sparkling prose as "Ingvaldson is also locally known as the only teacher at St.Georges who can rip a phonebook in half(if he was spazzing) and survive an argument with Mr.Jamieson" (unsourced, natch) — the crime issue came along only in 2010, four years after the article was created, and the article most likely would never have even existed at all (or would have been shitcanned by AFD if it had been newly created) on the basis of the crime alone. There's an additional BLP sensitivity here, because he once tangentially happened to briefly share the same employer as a prominent Canadian politician a full decade before the crime, and IP editors have attempted to inflate that minor fact into the explosive implication that the politician shares direct personal culpability in the subject's crime.
This person simply is not significant enough to warrant the amount of monitoring this requires. Bearcat (talk) 01:26, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Horrible crime, but simply a routine crime of this type with no long-term legal effects or changing of anything really. Found guilty, did his time. Almost a revenge page at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 13:41, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    This almost appears to be some attempt to smear Justin Trudeau, as it really has no importance in relation to the person; pure conjecture, but there are a certain set of individuals on social medial that think Trudeau is some sort of WW2-era German person. Which I can't type because of the firewall at work... "I lived with a guy once, and he's famous now but wasn't then" doesn't really add to notability, maybe an interesting tidbit.

There are not many reliable sources that discuss James Koehnline in detail. Even the cited sources barely discuss him at all. I found some passing references and citations to his work, but that is not enough to write a full article on the man. Furthermore, quite a bit of the found content was published by obscure publishers or was self-published. Since Koehnline is still alive, we have to be particularly careful about this type of thing. ―Susmuffin Talk 14:33, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I found at least one reliable source with in-depth coverage of James Koehnline: "An Infinite Bag of Tricks," Abstract: This installment looks at the work of James Koehnline, who creates art based on digital imagery. Published in: IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications ( Volume: 31, Issue: 2, March-April 2011) Page(s): 4 - 5. Also, I am finding some writing about Koehnline in Fifth Estate (periodical), along with what looks like 20+ Koehnline collages. And it looks like the book Koehnline coedited, "Gone to Croatan: Origins of North American Dropout Culture," is reviewed by at least one reliable source, and cited by several others. I'd be happy to work on adding these sources to the article and cutting anything that isn't reliably sourced. Elspea756 (talk) 15:18, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems more like WP:PROMO of a working graphic artist. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 17:19, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete In its current state, I don't see any reason for keeping. First source (Black 1994, p. 92) only mentions him in a laundry list of "mileu collagists", none of whom have their own Wikipedia articles. Second source (Miller 1999, p. 287) mentions a book he co-edited in a footnote, but the actual reference is to an essay within that book by Miller himself. External links are to Koehnline's own website, an obscure dead web page that includes a couple of his works, and an interview with Koehnline that I assume is what the rest of this article is pulling from. So the only source that goes into any substantial detail about him is a primary source and it's not even cited inline. I'd be open to changing my vote to "Keep" if Elspea756 can put together a better article with the sources they found. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:00, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @WomenArtistUpdates and Grnrchst: Update Just to update here as I'm going through these sources: There are at least 28 issues of the Fifth Estate (periodical) that I had thought, based on the first few I looked at, that they each might have multiple Koehnline collages in them. For example, there are two collages including the cover in Spring 1990 issue, three in the Autumn 1992 issue, four including the cover in the Spring 1991 issue, and the front and back covers in the Fall 2006 issue. At least one of the 28 issues, Vol. 42, No. 2(376) (Oct., 2007), has some writing about Koehnline's work that is longer than a brief mention, but it is still only about four paragraphs in an essay on a broader topic. However, maybe around a third of these 28 issues just have a small ad for the "Gone to Croatan" book, edited by Koehnline and containing an essay by Koehnline, available along with over a dozen other books at the Fifth Estate bookstore. The one review I mentioned is in The Whole Earth Review, 1994 (83), p.40, which I haven't been able to track down a copy of yet. The best source still looks like the two-page article "An Infinite Bag of Tricks" in IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications in 2011, but that was written in conjunction with a Koehnline collage on the cover, and has several quotes from Koehnline, so is largely based on interviews, which are maybe too much of a primary source for Grnrchst. And I'm not sure that "15+ year contributor to notable anarchist/underground publications" reaches the "substantial part of a significant exhibition" that WomenArtistUpdates is looking for. So, if these sources don't seem adequate, I'll suggest a solution might be to redirect this Koehnline article to Fifth Estate (periodical) and put a sentence or two about Koehnline into the "1980s and 1990s" section, as an artistic contributor whose work was first published there in the early 1990s.

  • Delete. Not seeing what sources we'd use to justify covering within the Fifth Estate article. Also not seeing which three sources discuss his work in particular depth. czar 18:42, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update: I've found yet another source. Michael Kinsella's book, "Legend-Tripping Online: Supernatural Folklore and the Search for Ong's Hat" published by University Press of Mississippi, from 2011, names Koehnline as one of the four people who created Ong's Hat, and gives more biographical details of Koehnline. "the artist James Koehnline, who designed the cover of the original Incunabula: A Catalogue ... anarchist and surrealist collage artist ... his work appears within a number of CDs, books, and magazines that are part of the countercultural ... provided the illustration for the cover of Bey’s T.A.Z. and edited the book, Gone to Croatan ..." So, we now have at least three different biographies of Koehnline to use as sources: 1) "An Infinite Bag of Tricks," IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications ( Volume: 31, Issue: 2, March-April 2011) Page(s): 4 - 5, 2) Semiotexte, v. 5, issue 2, from 1989, and 3) "Legend-Tripping Online: Supernatural Folklore and the Search for Ong's Hat" University Press of Mississippi, 2011. And we could also use 4) Fifth Estate, with multiple details published from as early as 1990 (Winter issue 1990-91, Vol. 25, No. 2, has "Swamp Rats & Urban Rats Unite!" by George Bradford which is a review of Koehnline's collage-illustrated poetry) to as recent as 2007. These four sources should allow us to write a properly sourced short biographical article. Elspea756 (talk) 03:51, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Accessing all three sources aforementioned, I do not see how they meet the significant coverage criterion nevertheless constitute enough material to write a biography worthy of the subject.
    1. Legend-Tripping Online is a three-sentence mention that does not say more than that he was a collage artist who illustrated for Hakim Bey.
    2. Semiotexte is previously discussed above as being a standard artist bio, potentially self-authored, shown alongside his work in the journal. (Mind, too, that he is part of the Autonomedia collective that publishes Semiotexte.)
    3. The IEEE article is the only article that approaches Koehnline's work in any depth but sparsely and with little biographical detail.
Altogether it would seem impossible to write a detailed article based on this material, especially if these are the best sources available. A redirect to other articles, e.g., to cover as a sentence in Bey's or Autonomedia's articles, also seems untenable as undue weight. czar 02:01, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt the notability of the subject and through WP:BEFORE didn't find good RS to establish it. The main concern here is that this BLP is completely unreferenced, and the Finnish version of the page doesn't contribute much, too. However, I may miss something. MartinPict (talk) 14:32, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - It's also a bit difficult to separate him from his TV show, which also frustrates searching as there's a lot of false positives along the lines of "So-and-so said something to Arty Nyberg" in Finnish. But still, there's plenty of coverage about him in all kinds of Finnish papers, even if a lot of it is interviews or profiles you'd expect about a "generic famous person". I'll look for more when I have the time from other stuff, but here's something to start with:
  • Large profile in Anna (subscription required; only shows a snippet by default): [33]
  • Profile/interview in Seiska: [34]
  • Profile/interview in ET: [35]
  • A thing in Seura: [36]
  • Profiles/interviews in the [Iltalehti]] tabloid: [37], [38], [39]
  • Some more in the Ilta-Sanomat tabloid: [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48] (there's more, but that's a representative sample)
Pretty much none of these are great in isolation, but the pure mass and sustained length of coverage gives me pause and I think I'm leaning towards a weak keep at the moment. -Ljleppan (talk) 07:41, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Did you check Scholar before nominating? he's well cited in both philosophy and neuroscience so he meets WP:PROF. He also meets WP:NAUTHOR for his book "Meta-Geopolitics of Outer Space" which appears to have several reviews. - car chasm (talk) 15:41, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
These are not significant citation counts given that Al-Rodhan has spammed his publications into the lead of a vast number of Wikipedia articles where they remained for more than a decade. For example, his most-cited work, "Definitions of globalization: A comprehensive overview and a proposed definition" is a self-published manuscript that he WP:REFSPAMmed into prominent places of Wikipedia articles, such as the first sentence of the Wikipedia article on Globalization[49] where lazy academics found it and cited it for a definition of globalization. It's a bizarre version of WP:CITOGENESIS where the academic places his non-notable research prominently into Wikipedia articles, academics find it on Wikipedia and lazily cite it for basic terms, and the citations themselves become an indication that the subject is actually notable. As for the reviews of his book, I could only find one in Space Policy, which says "this is a somewhat curious book: it claims to look at space power in a new way, but doesn't clearly produce any new insights".[50] Thenightaway (talk) 16:17, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jahaza None of these sources are about the Jewish quarter. They are all about the Jewish population of Kırklareli in general.

A move would definitely be appropriate if this article is not deleted. Though, problems remain as the article largely went unnoticed for 14 years. It also doesn't appear to be the convention to have separate articles for non-distinct communities within a small settlement. Instead, expanding on the Jewish population on Kırklareli, a more-visible article, could be more beneficial until we reach the point a separate entry would allow for more expansion.

  • Trim I agree that the article reads as an essay, with analysis rather than just reporting. For example One event that helped India immensely was when Netscape went public on 9 August 1995. And There is a food security crisis in India because a significant portion of the land has been designated to grow crops for biofuel. Crops like rice and wheat are often harvested in large quantities. However, the amount of crops that are used for biofuel is largely unregulated, with an inadequate amount going to the poor and needy. However, there is also much useful and interesting referenced material. I recommend that, if the article is kept, it be brutally edited to remove every paragraph or sentence that does not have an adequate citation (noting that sometimes the citation for a sentence comes with the sentence before, and that sometimes the justifying citation is to another Wikipedia page, of course.)

The Payments section is a duplicate of Economy_of_India#Balance_of_payments, the Investments section duplicates Economy_of_India#Foreign_direct_investment, the Remittances section duplicates Economy_of_India#Remittances. The Women section is vague, and although this can be tied to international companies I don't think increased access to education is strong thesis here. The Education section is likewise vague without direct discussion of globalization. I'm baffled what this Health section is doing here. The Historical Context section is similarly vague, where "India" could be replaced with the name of any other country. Trimming what isn't relevant or what is duplicative leaves little unique or useful content, so a redirect to Economy of India may be appropriate – the noted sections should not just be removed from the main article. Something being conceived as notable doesn't mean it needs a stand-alone article. Reywas92Talk 21:37, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Another "entrepreneur" article whose sources are mostly paid promotional pieces. Does not meet WP:IS. Nswix (talk) 00:27, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. No evidence articles are paid promotional pieces as asserted by nominator. The florid tone is typical Nigerian journalism style. These are national Nigerian newspapers cited The Guardian (Nigeria), Vanguard (Nigeria), The Sun (Nigeria), This Day, The Nation (Nigeria). --A. B.

    No one's arguing that it's not Nigerian. Just that large newspapers in Nigeria have begun selling fluff pieces.

    What evidence do you have that these articles are paid journalism? Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 05:17, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    With their promotional tone and lack of substance, I just dont buy that it can't be promotional, simply because it's widely-published. There of tons of larger publications that are blacklisted. Nswix (talk) 16:41, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Current refs are non-independent (interviews and other reports of what he said, versus coverage of him), cover Ayhomes, or are all of the above and PROMO. Nigerian newspapers in particular are well known to flout broadcasting rules on paid advertising. Professor Omenugha describes a similar trend in the print media: “In the newspapers, the so called specialised pages of the property, IT and computer businesses and finance pages are prime examples of commercialised spaces. The point is that no attempt is made to let the audience or readers know that these spaces are paid for and they end up holding them as sacred as they would news”. Some journalists also work as paid consultants to politicians and businesses thus threatening professionalism. AIT’s Amarere says it is demeaning to journalism as “some of the concerned journalists now work for companies through which they obtain jobs. They cover their track by saying they are staff of this or that company and run offices outside the newsroom. In this situation it is difficult to balance profession with commercial interest”. "Awards" issued by media are also considered corrupt. “The awards are not free, they are for money and anything that comes with a prize has implications”, says Olumide Adeyinka-Fusika, a lawyer. “If a newspaper names a bank as the best bank of the year and the bank is later indicted for corruption, that newspaper will not be willing to publish the story because that will be like passing a vote of no confidence on their own judgement”.

    JoelleJay thanks for this! I'm disappointed to say the least since I have cited these newspapers in other AfDs. It remains true that the Nigerian newspaper style tends to the colorful and florid even when reporting the weather. Nevertheless, I think you are probably right about this article and some others now being discussed for deletion: Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Nigeria. --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 18:42, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it's probably worth someone starting an RfC somewhere regarding reliable and non-reliable Nigerian news sources. This comes up in multiple AfDs and it would save everybody time to know what's what. --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 18:59, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A "social media entrepreneur" article whose sources are mostly paid. The sources about the subject are promotional pieces. Does not meet WP:IS. Nswix (talk) 00:21, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral leaning to delete based on this comment by User:JoelleJay at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Omogboye Saheed Ayodeji. It cites a journalism expert discussing rampant Nigerian journalism corruption. (That said, the Nigerian reporting style during my brief time there was florid even when reporting stuff like the weather.) --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 18:53, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
