Despite multiple publications with good presses, this person does not appear to meet the notability criteria at WP:ACADEMIC. In general, I find these criteria overly stringent, but in this case I cannot even tell what rank or title the subject has at his university.

If other folks think the attention his work got by reviewers (not all positive!) merits his inclusion, I'm happy to be overruled on this. Otherwise more is needed to justify keeping the article. Patrick J. Welsh (talk) 23:11, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Provisional Keep. Some high cites on GS in a very low cited field. There may be reviews to be found to suport WP:Author. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:46, 23 October 2023 (UTC).[reply]
  • Weak keep. I think there are enough reviews of his books for WP:AUTHOR. But I can find almost nothing else about him beyond the fact that he used to be described as a lecturer at Mary Immaculate College, U. Limerick, and isn't listed by them now. I've stripped out the rest of the article (which wasn't very much) because it had no reliable sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:04, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Books seem quite highly cited for philosophy field (220,155,80,61) and reviews found by David Eppstein & the creator seem adequate to pass WP:AUTHOR. Espresso Addict (talk) 20:55, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak keep. per Espresso Addict, he just passes WP:NAUTHOR with reviews of multiple books, but only one book as more than a single review so its an edge case. --hroest 20:58, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi @Gidonb,
    Would you ever consider weighing in on the guidelines at WP:NACADEMIC? They are clearly written to exclude academics who do not meet a much higher threshold of notability than Dr. Lawn. Editors there might pay attention to someone with your experience.
    I've seen these criteria used to exclude academics with considerably more impressive CVs just because they are not formally distinguished and do not occupy a named chair—even though that is usually besides the point for full professors at major research universities, who can be presumed to be among the top scholars in their fields.
    My own view, even more lenient, is that anyone important enough to be cited as an expert in the body of another article should be seriously considered as deserving at least a stub entry. That way curious readers can get a little more context without necessarily having to leave Wikipedia.
    In any event, I only nominated this article for deletion because I understood that to be my responsibility as part of the new page patrol (to which I myself am new). For as I wrote above, I think the main problem in this instance is with the policy guidelines on the notability of academics, not the quality of Dr. Lawn's work. Happy to be overruled in this nomination!
    Cheers, Patrick J. Welsh (talk) 01:04, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you have doubts about your nomination, you can withdraw it. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:43, 28 October 2023 (UTC).[reply]
The result here seems to be clear without further action on my part. I'm taking it as an occasion to address what I take to be the underlying issue, which is the overly exclusionary notability criteria.
I'd encourage anyone interested to weigh in at Wikipedia talk: Notability (academics) #proposal for modification of guidelines.

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

I believe Paczkowski fails to meet WP:NJOURNALIST. I tried to see if the subject met WP:GNG during my WP:BEFORE, but it's hard to find WP:RS coverage for the critical late-2000's period and earlier.
Besides that, I found one article about him leaving Buzzfeed News (besides Forbes itself).
The Forbes article would be pretty good at demonstrating The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors part of NJOURNALIST, but it's from his employer. Another good source in that same type would be [3], but it has the same issues.

I just don't think the sources are there, but I am happy to be proven wrong. –MJLTalk 18:21, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hina spent his career in the lower levels of Albanian football and shows no indication of meeting WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. My searches in Albanian sources yielded News Sport, which is a brief announcement of his release (along with a few other players) from KF Këlcyra, which was playing at a very low level as this part of his career was not even recorded on Soccerway. Balkan Web mentions him in a news story about a protest following his arrest (again, along with other players). He is not mentioned in any detail in this story and I can't find any news story that addresses him in detail, either for his career as a footballer or as a result of his arrest.

Landform with no evidence of notability. Almost entirely unsourced since its creation in 2014, now only being maintained by sockpuppets. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:03, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep After reverting the most recent sock addition, I have discovered that the article is supposed to be about a town, which presumptively meets WP:GNG. I recommend using WP:ECP to prevent socks from editing the page. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 17:41, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per LaundryPizza03. I've edited this article; one of the sources is a permanent dead link, but the other actually supports some of the content in the page. The sockpuppetry is certainly tedious in the extreme, but not a valid reason for deletion; the protection applied by Daniel Case should help to limit that. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:10, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Did some looking and found an archived link by the National Reconstruction Bureau (NRB), Government of Pakistan that still works and replaces the 'permanent dead link' mentioned above. I have already added this link to this article. Since it's an archived link, hopefully it won't go dead on us...Ngrewal1 (talk) 17:42, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Though not altogether convinced Laspur is the name of the town — the sources in the article only confirm it's a council area. Think the village/town is called Sor Laspur, with Laspur being the name of a valley and river as well as the council. Still, the article could cover all these and Sor Laspur appears to be a legally recognised populated place under WP:GEOLAND.

Doesn't meet WP:FILMMAKER.

  • Strongly Keep Nasir Zaman is considered as one of the best and famous Director, producer of Pakistan, Even after reaching the heights of fame, he still meets common people as if he is not a popular star. He has got coverage in many Indian news. He announced his career in 2021 And also has many of his projects, upcoming.The Indian ExpressTimes Of IndiaOutlook IndiaUniversal CinemasCinemaQatardajiworld Still there has been a of Indian and and Pakistani News Site coverage about him, Mostly you will see names associated with other actresses in their coverage.ZeeFilmNews18FreePressJournalianLiveMedeberyaa Because in every project he works together with the entire team as a director, producer or actor. Famous Indian actor Aamir Khan took his his name during the movie promotion of Carry On Jatta 3. and praised his work. I find it difficult to assess the reliability of Pakistani sources and we don't appear to have a WP:RSN page for the country. However, there does appear to be in-depth coverage in sources which I assess as probably reliable, covering multiple events / aspects of this WP:BLP. Keep, monitor for neutrality and overdetail.

  • Delete Despite the plethora of sources being thrown around, they all appear to either grossly fail WP:SIGCOV or act as a functional database entry showing actor, director, and producer credits for a film - neither of which support notability. As an example, the FreePressJournal source mentions Zaman a single time to credit him for directing the film Maujaan Hi Maujaan. The remainder of the article is an interview with an actor. I cannot seem to find anything online searching myself, but as Significa liberdade commented, it's possible sources may exist in another language. —Sirdog (talk) 04:50, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Despite playing 4 minutes of football back in 2018, I'm not seeing anything even close to WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC from the sources provided or from my own searches. Twitter is not reliable or independent and database sources do not confer notability, so that rules out all of the references bar Shorouk News and Akhbaar24, both of which contain minimal information on the player and are referenced to Twitter, which is not reliable or independent. The only news story that I could find that wasn't referenced to Twitter was Ar Riyadiyah, which is just a photo of him training from home, with two sentences confirming what the image shows.

The result was keep‎. The consensus here is to Keep this article but, as was said in the discussion, some of the Keeps were weak. But new sources were brought into the discussion. Unfortunately, we didn't see further evaluation of them which would have made this a more solid consensus. Believe it or not, editors and admins don't relist a deletion discussion until they can carry out their own opinion of what happens but because consensus, based on the policy arguments provided, is not clear and could be supported should the closure be taken to Deletion review.

Neologism (WP:NEO), little coverage in independent, reliable sources. Most mentions are by the person who coined it (see Google Scholar and Google News). The page was subject to AfD in 2010 with result merged. It was recreated in 2022 in a substantially expanded form so doesn't qualify for WP:G4. AncientWalrus (talk) 17:05, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please include links to relevant reliable sources directly here. I am convinced that The Guardian is a reliable source. What I'm not convinced of is that the Guardian has significant independent coverage of the concept of "pro-aging trance". I've glanced through sources and literature cited in the article and didn't find significant coverage otherwise I wouldn't have nominated.
This Guardian source is in fact an advertorial article written by Aubrey de Grey, hence non-independent and non-reliable.[9]. The second Guardian source mentions the term exactly once in a quote directly attributed to de Grey It is a difficult job because he considers the world to be in a “pro-ageing trance”, happy to accept that ageing is unavoidable, when the reality is that it’s simply a “medical problem” that science can solve.[10]. This is not significant independent coverage either. AncientWalrus (talk) 17:57, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I added some more sources to the article. Anyway, I agree with Maxeto0910: there are quite a few reputable authors using the term "pro-aging trance" - e.g. Britt Wray, Kira Peikoff, Dylan Love, Zoë Corbyn and Mark Schweda (all of whom are quoted in the article), plus explanations of the term are published in peer-reviewed scientific journals such as Rejuvenation Research, Studies in Ethics, Law, and Technology and Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, plus it is cited in the scientific literature (see, for example, the works of Benjamin Ross and Lucinda Campbell). The fact that most mentions are by the person who coined the term is not surprising: it is mostly being used by anti-aging proponents to describe society's allegedly irrational attitude toward aging, and the anti-aging movement is (albeit ever-growing) still small. However, this is not sufficient reason to delete this article; I think the scientific discussion of the topic and the media coverage that the term has received should be enough to keep it. There are a variety of other suggested phenomena which have also not yet obtained wide scientific attention and still have their own article. Examples include Stockholm syndrome or, probably even more importantly, Bullerby Syndrome. Just like pro-aging trance, these phenomena are received within their own field (though not outside) and some reputable media have reported on them. So my conclusion is rather clear: Keep.

  • Keep. From the article's sources and the discussion above, I get the impression that the expression, although obscure, has been used, and not only in direct connection with the person who introduced it. --a3nm (talk) 05:08, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, there are tons and tons of people who think it is wrong to try to slow or reverse aging. We encounter all the time people who think you are playing God or you're going to cause overpopulation or other things.
In the United States, people who've been doing outreach for almost 2 decades constantly get huge amounts of pushback from people thinking it's just wrong, and that we are supposed to grow old and die and that growing old and dying is an important part of life and is the only thing that gives life meaning – among other insipid reasons – and that is the pro-aging trance. People who just can't accept that reversing aging is something that can or should be done.
I can link you to an interview with Piers Morgan on CNN of Bryan Johnson, and after Bryan Johnson speaks, there's a whole bunch of panelists who talk about how what he is doing is wrong, and how they are happy to be old and aging and happy that they will die.
As you will also want a source to support a vote to keep, here is an essay by author Arthur Diamond (who should also have an article), which references de Grey in the same way someone discussing the Theory of Relativity would reference Einstein, but also adopts the phrase as valid in itself. This essay was also published in some newspapers. - WPGA2345 - 16:43, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Guerillero: Wondering why a discussion with six "keeps" to one "delete" (with some "keeps" backed by sources) would need relisting for "clearer consensus"; seems pretty freakin' clear. Hyperbolick (talk) 20:51, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: @Govvy: I find nothing objectionable about @GiantSnowman:’s comment. His comment about pinging is a reasonable alternative to following multiple AfDs, comment-by-comment, after leaving his own comment. I suspect an ANI discussion would ultimately reach the same conclusion, perhaps after some contentious, gratuitous drive-by comments from the peanut gallery. Either or both or neither of you might get sanctioned - it’s a crap shoot. ANI is not worth it, trust me.

  • Comment I had edited the article to remove unreliable sources, however an editor has seen fit to restore the unreliable sources because they think it appropriate to include blogs, websites with no locatable editorial policies and sources which don't back up the claims made in articles because "they are not black listed". After removal of unreliable sources there were only two sources left in the article. One of the sources was about California banning kangaroo skinned boots and barely mentions the product. The other is about the product being offered in white. TarnishedPathtalk 11:45, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable manufacturer, doesn't meet WP:NCORP. A WP:BEFORE search in English and (machine translated) Chinese turned up only this product review from what looks like a RS. The rest are all adverts from model sellers, and a few blogs. Article currently has only one primary source from the company, plus two from sellers.

I'm also nominating the following related page because it's simply a list of some of their products, with no indication of how they're notable by WP:GNG. This article was actually created first, and proposed for deletion on the grounds of notability and about products for which there was no company article. Border Model was then created by same editor, and proposed deletion contested without comment. It's sourced by a company link, a blog, and a seller link.

English Wikipedia pages should not use Chinese characters in their title per WP:NCZH. Also, this is a duplicate of Tucheng (disambiguation), which is more extensive. SilverStar54 (talk) 03:32, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator: decided to create a broader discussion for deleting all pages in this category. SilverStar54 (talk) 19:54, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I said this in another AfD recently, but Category:Disambiguation pages with Chinese character titles (383) is not a death sentence. Quoting the category page: The following disambiguation pages contain Chinese characters in their titles. They serve to disambiguate articles subjects that may be referred to by the same name when written in different Chinese character sets such as Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Kanji, Hanja, Chữ Nôm and Sawndip.
    There's nothing in WP:NCZH that says dabpages can't use Chinese characters in their titles, and indeed it is standard practice when there are different pronunciations based on what language is using the characters. If Toseong station is deleted, you'd have a valid rationale here. Folly Mox (talk) 03:50, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Huh. Thank you for bringing that to my attention, I didn't know that. I guess there's no real harm in these pages existing, the use-case just feels baffling. (The mind wanders: Do people really use these? How often do English texts include Chinese characters without at least a transliteration? Wouldn't someone be able to use Google Translate to get the appropriate transliteration for the language they're looking at? Are there really situations where someone who knows how to type Chinese characters isn't able to guess from the context whether they're looking at Kanji, Hanja, or Hanzi?)
    Philosophical ponderings aside, it sounds like this is settled policy so I'll withdraw my request. SilverStar54 (talk) 04:47, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I honestly agree with you about what the actual use cases are. I'm thinking it's people who have some website open they can't read, don't know about or predate google translate, and copypaste into the Wikipedia search bar. Considering how many of these have been popping up at AfD recently, it might be time to have a fresh conversation about whether or not this category should be a "death sentence", to borrow my language from above. I'm philosophically neutral on whether this should be a valid type of dabpage, but I'm of the mind that they should either all stay or all go.
    Apologies if I came off a bit cross in my initial comment. I'm sure it was feelings about something else. Folly Mox (talk) 06:20, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
