Comment, leaning D. There are a couple hundred articles on newspapers.com, available to you at the wikipedia library. Most of it is passing mentions in obituaries, wedding announcements and such, that do not establish notability. I suggest searching on alternative names, including but not limited to Lakeview Christian Academy, as the school was known when it opened. There are some stories about a woman who was on the run from the FBI in the 90s who enrolled her child at Lakeview for 3 1/2 years before getting caught. Interesting, but does it establish notability? Probably not.Jacona (talk) 14:30, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. Although there is no second "delete" opinion, the "keep" opinions - with the exception of that by GMH Melbourne - are poorly argued: they assert notability, but do not cite specific sources or address the quality of the sources offered by others, which has been contested.

There is a lack of substantial coverage in reliable third-party sources that discuss the subject in depth. The current cited sources include passing mentions, a contributor piece, and an announcement of her inclusion in the 100 Women of Influence 2016 list, which does not automatically confer notability. Although a Google news search yielded some sources, they primarily consist of passing mentions or self-published materials, none of which establish independent notability.

- The Sydney Morning Herald piece is an interview, hence it should not be considered an independent source
article appears to be an interview-style piece with a "he said, she said" format, and it requires a subscription to access the entire content. Additionally, the Australian Financial Review article is published by a non-staff contributor and should be treated as self-published sources, similar to many at WP:RSP. GSS 💬 17:21, 13 March 2024 (UTC)- I evaluated my sources according to SIRS and wrote the content around this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you approved these sources. No offense, I just really want to understand what has changed since then. Fact and Curious (talk) 17:27, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- No, in fact, I never approved these sources, which is why I declined your submission. These sources do not establish notability because they do not provide the required coverage for the subject, as pointed out above. GSS 💬 17:33, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

- The draft was just accepted today, I thought the editor's approval depends on the appropriateness of the sources. GSS suggested de-orphaning the page and improving the categories. I made these changes but now I'm a bit confused, was the fix that bad?
- Also, I found another source that mentioned the subject, but just in case, I removed it now if it was causing the problem. Fact and Curious (talk) 17:15, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Keep: if these are the same person [1] and [2], I think we have notability. Australian person in the New York Times could be possible I suppose. Oaktree b (talk) 20:17, 13 March 2024 (UTC)- Good work digging that up. NYT is an international publication, so it's squarely within their breadth. TLAtlak 20:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Oaktree b: The article from The New York Times seems to be an opinion piece, as it focuses not on the individual herself but rather on her views, evident in the frequent use of phrases such as "saying" and "said". Conversely, The Cut article is written by a different "Alison Green" and is unrelated to the subject of this article
self-published, bearing the name "by Alison Green". GSS 💬 04:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC) - Umm, no. That NYT columnist is not the subject of this article. That columnist (born abt. 1974), is the daughter of an American journalist named, Steve Green, who died in 2001. The subject of this discussion (born 1986) is the daughter of John M. Green. —Scottyoak2 (talk) 04:40, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep: There are enough sources that exist (both in and out of the article) to establish notability under WP:GNG. I have found 4. Plus also I think it is safe to say the AFR article counts towards GNG. It is more than
just quotes
and SIGCOV refers to the substance of a source (ie. a passing mention) rather than the length of a source. GMH Melbourne (talk) 00:04, 14 March 2024 (UTC)- @GMH Melbourne: I agree that there are articles, but simply having them doesn't automatically make someone notable; they should provide significant coverage, not just passing mentions or interviews. As mentioned before, the AFR article is written by a contributor. Can you please list the four articles here for review? Just saying you found four isn't enough; they need to be shown for proper consideration. GSS 💬 04:26, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- These are the sources I have found (not already in the article) that count towards WP:GNG: [3] [4] + the AFR and SMH ones already mentioned. I understand that this is a borderline article but I think there is enough to meet GNG with at least two sources that qualify. GMH Melbourne (talk) 01:14, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for providing the sources. To pass GNG, the subject needs coverage in independent, reliable sources. While the sources you mentioned are undoubtedly reliable, but they lack independence, so let's examine them closely. As I mentioned earlier, the article by ARF was authored by a contributor, not staff. According to WP:RSP, there's a consensus that such sources lack independence and should be treated as self-published. The SMH piece you mentioned is an interview, which is also not independent.
- Now, let's discuss the two links you provided. The first one by ARF isn't about the subject of this AfD. The article includes comments from multiple people and heavily relies on their words. Similarly, the one from the Daily Telegraph heavily depends on phrases like "he said" and "she said". Since they aren't independent, they are insufficient to establish notability.

- Keep. I think the subject is notable and there are sources to demonstrate that. Nathan N Higgers (talk) 02:30, 29 March 2024 (UTC) — Nathan N Higgers (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Just stating "there are sources" doesn't actually establish anything. You need to specify which sources, because as I mentioned above and in my deletion rationale, there is no significant coverage in reliable sources. While there are some sources, they aren't about this person, but about a different person under the same name. Additionally, it is suspicious that you were registered today and your first edit was to !vote here, so I highly suspect there is a case of WP:PAID and/or socking. GSS 💬 05:20, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

- Somewhat off-topic, but mobile games don't commonly receive traditional reviews and "real" is rather subjective. IgelRM (talk) 13:54, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Mobile games certainly do get traditional reviews, and pretty often too - at least from what I've seen. There isn't a particular reason to judge this game differently than the rest. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Somewhat off-topic, but mobile games don't commonly receive traditional reviews and "real" is rather subjective. IgelRM (talk) 13:54, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment It seems like much of the coverage linked above is not about the actual game, but rather its marketing campaign, and the broader trend of "fake" mobile game trailers. You could maybe do an article on fake trailers and talk about hero wars there. But as a standalone the notability feels pretty weak. CurlyWi (talk) 23:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I think the lack of reception is the achilles' heel for the article. Directly paraphrasing the only sources available, the only evaluation in the sources are that Kotaku says the plot is "unremarkable", the art is "shady" and the gameplay loop is "incoherent", and PCGamesN describes the game as one of the "best" computer games for mobile and implies that it's addictive. The VentureBeat article is great but is heavily a primary interview source. There's also the Aftermath article and the point about the promotion, but for that to single-handedly be able to make the game notable, there would need to be more coverage than one inconclusive WP:VG/S source. On the point above about reviews, yes I agree 'real' isn't a fair threshold for assessing sources but I don't think there is enough coverage that should support a section of how the game was independently reviewed and evaluated at this point. On mobile games having a unique hurdle for notability, I get it: I used to write a lot of indie game articles and it's frustrating to hit these roadblocks for things that seem self-evidently notable when the reviews and coverage just isn't there. Keeping an open mind if there's more sourcing out there. VRXCES (talk) 23:50, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete The game does not seem to meet neither WP:GNG, nor WP:VG/S as the only notable source I see is VentureBeat. Other than that, the article seems to have a list in the Gameplay section, which is a little concerning, as it is sourced to an unknown source aswell. MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 05:16, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- There are few sources, but they exist. And it seems that it needs to be keep. But, if we decide to delete, let's transfer the information to Nexters. This is one of the company's most significant games. Wikipedia should have at least a section about it. ЖуковАФ (talk) 12:25, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Two of the 4 references are just saying "in production" months before the 2023 release and the other two are database entries. North8000 (talk) 18:53, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- Draftify - A claim that it is famous doesn't seem supported by the sourcing... I honestly can't even tell if this was actually released or not. This says it comes out April 2024. Not that I trust that to be 100% accurate, but it seems as likely as the others that appear editable databases. Maybe it comes out next month and some reviews come, but if not, the draft can reach a deleted state via G13. If it gets published again without improvement, I would !vote delete in a subsequent AfD. -2pou (talk) 18:00, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

- I really don't have any stakes in this. I've just been using some of these AFD discussions to hone my source-hunting skills. There are some sources that pretty directly discuss Pahoran. The best-quality ones are in periodicals published by the BYU Religious Studies Center: Religious Educator and the BYU Studies Quarterly, for example. They're intended as scholarly literature, but written by members of the religion about a topic in that religion. I'm not sure whether those would be considered independent sources?

- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
SourcesPeople are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

The result was no consensus. Truly, and not a kick this down the road one. There are reasons to keep some of these, and reasons to consider transwiking others. Where they differ so much, a bundled discussion isn't viable even if the reason for doing so- to avoid perception of bias toward x language-is laudable. Suggest if some of these need to come back, smaller bundles would be better. ATDs might be better and this AfD should not be cited as a reason not to pursue an editorial ATD.

- Tewdar has a valid point, most of the attacks are by EDL types who insist on airbrushing out first nation Cornish ethnicity, language etc. So not surprisingly there will always rightly be reactions against racism, racism in any form is never OK. 85.94.248.27 (talk) 08:29, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete all, for the reasons given. As the Cornish article is specifically mentioned above, I had a look at it, wondering what the exonym for Devon (the neighbouring county and my birthplace) was. It's not there, though there is one for the more distant Somerset! Plymouth (fair enough) and Exeter are there, but given the great number of places in Devon to which Cornish people (including my great^12 grandfather Robert Cornyshe) moved over the centuries (that's why "Cornish" is a common surname in Devon) there must surely be other exonyms. This suggests that it is just a haphazard list of the ones the creator happened to know. Athel cb (talk) 11:14, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep the Latin list, at least; it's actually useful, and you can't just look these up in a dictionary; you'd need quite a lot of sources to hunt them all down, if you could even do it, and that's just not practical. It should, however, be fairly easy to document individual entries knowing what the equivalents are, and that's just cleanup, for which there is no deadline. AfD is not cleanup. For that matter, many of the entries could simply be linked to articles about the places, that already give their Latin names in the article leads. The Latin names are relevant in a way that those in many of the other languages may not be, because most or all of these places were settled or colonized in Roman times, and are found under their Roman names in sources about Roman history.
- I can't offer much of an opinion on the other lists nominated here, because I don't know much about those languages or the reasons why the lists exist, but as a member of WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome, I feel confident that the Latin list has a good reason to exist. I was going to say that the Greek list has a similar justification for keeping, but looking at it, most of the places included are modern names for places that didn't exist as part of the Hellenistic world; this distinguishes it from the Latin list, which consists primarily of places that had Latin names in Roman times.

- Does it add anything beyond Category:Lists of Latin place names? (Genuine question.) PepperBeast (talk) 15:56, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- I think organization by place (most of the lists of Latin place names) makes more sense than organization by linguistic type (...by exonyms). Therefore, I think the place names in Latin exonyms should be merged to the other lists before deletion. That said, delete all, per WP:NOTDICT. Exonyms for an individual place may be interesting, significant, or notable. And we should definitely mention famous exonyms like 旧金山 somewhere. But having a list of them seems more like a geographic-dictionary thing than an encyclopedia-thing, to me. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:32, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- It does look like they overlap to the extent that merger is practical. I haven't gone through the whole list to check, but whoever merges the list presumably would. Ironically, however, despite frequently needing the Roman names of various places, I don't think I've seen these lists before, and wouldn't have today had it not been for this discussion!

- Kill them all, let Deletionpedia sort them out, for the reasons stated. High time. I have asked on many of their Talk pages what use (or interest) they have, and got a few replies to the effect that they are useful, but none of them said clearly how they are useful. —Tamfang (talk) 01:43, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- By the way, shouldn't the heading say "(nth nom.)"? —Tamfang (talk) 01:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I say keep all the pages. If a language learner wishes to have a list of place names, there should be a readily available list, considering that exonyms and endonyms can have wildly different names in between languages. While the individual pages can be edited so that they are more reliable, it would be extreme do completely obliterate entire pages worth of information instead of simply pruning them.

- Draftify or TNT-delete them all. Many of these articles have the potential to become encyclopedic content. Exonyms can tell a whole story of historical international relations, and for some of the languages we could present these stories in an OR-free manner based on reliable sources. But the way these articles are currently shaped (i.e. as lists), little or nothing is told about what is actually interesting about exonyms. Even List of Pokémon characters is more encyclopedic than every single one of these exonym articles, except maybe for Arabic exonyms, which has some very interesting material that is scattered unsystematically over various sections (because the exonyms are ordered by the least interesting criterion, viz. by modern countries). –Austronesier (talk) 20:15, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Always pleasant to find someone agreeing. (I pushed, once upon a time, for Arabic exonyms to be restricted to "interesting" cases.) —Tamfang (talk) 05:52, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Chinese exonyms I have substantially rewritten Chinese exonyms to contain more substantial encyclopedic content that is too long and not entirely relevant to be contained in Chinese language#Vocabulary. This includes information about the historical origins and changes to certain Chinese exonyms, with appropriate citations from academic sources (I will need to do more digging in Chinese sources to find more). I am open to researching and writing more content, as well as reviewing and greatly shortening the list in the article, but I am reluctant to do more work while this article is in AfD. Still, I think that there is enough right now to warrant keeping it. Richard Yetalk 13:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists says, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been."

- Richard Ye (talk · contribs), thank you so much for your improvements to Chinese exonyms! I deeply appreciate your hard work and your interest in continuing to improve the article were it not at risk of being deleted. Here are two relevant guidelines:
- Please keep the List of Azerbaijani exonyms: I agree with the idea that most of the exonyms in all lists of exonyms are fantasy or fiction, but if you go down a little you will see how many sources are given, for example to List of Azerbaijani_exonyms#Russia, this happens because Russia changes the name of cities as soon as it conquers it. And even now, during the war in Ukraine, you can see this, for example, the fact that Russia renamed the Ukrainian Bakhmut to Artyomovsk. Most of the exonyms are historical and I find the use of this list useful in historical reconstructions. I could remove all the "garbage" from the article if we agreed to leave the list. Sebirkhan (talk) 14:01, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Do we have an article on Russian renamings in general? That would seem the more appropriate place for such entries. To preserve List of Azerbaijani exonyms for this reason would be like buying peanut butter so that the jars can be used to store rice; and unless the title is changed, it will attract the same cruft that led to this discussion. —Tamfang (talk) 21:57, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Draftify all - We need to avoid a WP:TRAINWRECK here, and cases are being made for keeping individual pages, but not the full set. It is clear these have WP:NOTDICTIONARY issues per nom. Also, per Austronesier, there are articles that could be written about exonyms, but those arguments are not for these list articles. It is at least possible that some (especially those being argued for) could be rewritten as encyclopaedic pages, although I don't think any of them are there yet. If we draftify them then the ones with potential can be developed and submitted for review, and may become useful articles. The ones that are unloved and untouched will be deleted. This outcome would be superior to delete, which would delete some good information on a couple of the articles. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 14:32, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- Comment about glossaries: The guideline Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary#Wikipedia is not a usage guide says: "Some articles are encyclopedic glossaries on the jargon of an industry or field; such articles must be informative, not guiding in nature, because Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, or textbook."
The guideline Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Lists of words says:
Are these articles considered glossaries?Glossaries – alphabetical, topical lists of terms, rather than of notable entities – are encyclopedic when the entries they provide are primarily informative explorations of the listed terminology, pertaining to a notable topic that already has its own main article on Wikipedia. A Featured example is Glossary of Texas A&M University terms. Stand-alone glossaries are categorized at Category:Wikipedia glossaries, as well as topically in article categories. Shorter ones are often better handled as embedded lists, though a redirect from a title like Glossary of X can be created to the section, and the redirect added to that category. Such embedded glossaries may split later into in stand-alone glossaries. There are multiple ways of formatting glossaries.
Because Wikipedia is not a dictionary, many ideas for glossaries, in which entries would be little more than dictionary definitions ("dicdefs"), may be better suited to Wiktionary. Glossaries that do not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria or not-a-dictionary policy should be migrated to Wiktionary at wikt:Category:English glossaries. Wiktionary also freely forks Wikipedia's encyclopedic glossaries for redevelopment to Wiktionary's purposes and standards, in its Appendix: namespace.
Some other, non-glossary lists of words can also yield an encyclopedic page, such as List of English words containing Q not followed by U, the condition being that reliable secondary sources for the topic can be cited.
Cunard (talk) 10:13, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not by any reasonable meaning of the term "glossary". The lists, broadly, do not contain definitional information; nor are they limited to terms related to a specific, notable, domain of knowledge. Rotary Engine talk 10:57, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the analysis. Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Lists of words says: "Some other, non-glossary lists of words can also yield an encyclopedic page, such as List of English words containing Q not followed by U, the condition being that reliable secondary sources for the topic can be cited." So that is the guideline to follow. If "reliable secondary sources for the topic can be cited", then encyclopedic pages can be created from these "non-glossary lists of words". Cunard (talk) 11:19, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- You're being too polite/deferential. The only thing RE's comment clarified was that their opinion is mistaken. Geographical terms in a foreign language is quite clearly a specific notable domain of knowledge. The fact that it's an interesting and needful topic is precisely why they were created in the first place, aside from its utility to gamers and its poor (and unable to be improved) handling at Wiktionary. — LlywelynII 03:35, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- The lists in the articles that I reviewed are not of geographical terms, but of place names. Exonyms (and endonyms) in any given language might well be a specific notable domain of knowledge; and we would look to reliable sources to evidence that. But the individual exonyms would then be the subject of that domain, not the terms of that domain.
- By comparison, we might have a glossary of arithmetical terms, but we would not have a "glossary" of natural numbers; we might have a glossary of social science terms, but we would not have a "glossary" of individual's names.
- There may be good reasons for these articles to be kept; some may even be based in policy, but glossary isn't one of them. Rotary Engine talk 08:08, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep Chinese exonyms per the significant coverage in reliable sources in academic journals and books found by Richard Ye (talk · contribs). The sources definitively show that Chinese exonyms passes Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists, which says,
One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been.
Richard Ye has already make substantial improvements to Chinese exonyms that demonstrate this is an encyclopedic topic, not just a list of dictionary definitions. Chinese exonyms can be improved through pruning and expansion. But that can be done at any time as I understand with Richard Ye's reluctance in improving the article while at AfD. Several times I've spent hours improving an article at AfD in the past only to have the article get deleted.
The policies say that articles containing flaws should not be deleted if they can be improved. Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion says,
If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page.
Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required says,Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome.

- Keep Japanese exonyms, likely bad bundle, for the Japanese article speficially the Japanese version is very well cited, and is extremely likely to meet WP:GNG.

- Keep All - Way too many nominated articles to give a proper review and joint decision on all. Anyways, keep.BabbaQ (talk) 19:13, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I'm tempted to close this as a Procedural Keep as opinion is divided between those editors asking for all articles to be treated similarly (whether that is Delete all, Draftify all or Keep all) and those editors arguing for individual articles to be Kept. That is one dilemma with large, bundled nominations like this, unless there is an overwhelming consensus for one particular action, they can fall apart. It's also clear that editors asking for "All" anything have not had the time to evaluate each article individually and given the arguments from editors asking for individual articles to be Kept, they obviously differ in quality and substance leaving me questioning any closure that paints them all with the same brush.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 21:16, 28 March 2024 (UTC)- Of course, unbundling will result in "Why are you picking on my pet language and ignoring dozens of others?" (even if they are all separately nominated) —Tamfang (talk) 03:08, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

- The assumption we missed these and therefore did not look at all the lists at all is incorrect. I did not register that as important. It is the content that is being considered. I did look at all of them. I did not look into detail of their sourcing and individual potential sourcing, because that would have taken many hours. That was why I suggested draftify all. I do not think any of these are encyclopaedic as they stand, as we are in NOTDICTIONARY territory, but individual cases are being made for individual pages, and it is likely some would make individual cases for others. I am not convinced that the individual cases are answering the NOTDICTIONARY aspect as things stand, but draftify would allow individual pages to be very quickly reviewed and republished - it would simply recognise that there is a concern to be addressed. It appears to be a good process for allowing that individual scrutiny without defaulting to a keep option that basically says that bundled nominations are impossible. I will say, however, that failing draftify, I oppose delete. Draftify all is my preference. Keep would be acceptable, but disappointing. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:05, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

- Now, onto the actual argument, draftify all to me sounds like, "delete in 6 months". Lithuanian exonyms, for example, had no edits for a year prior to the nom and that's on mainspace. Others were untouched for even longer. We could get it done faster with separate AfDs, even if we spread them across a few months so we don't overwhelm the venue.

- Because that's all it ever is unless there's a specific editor making the request to preserve something. It shouldn't even be a thing as a policy. In this case, like you're saying, the articles should just be left active until they're separately nominated. — LlywelynII 02:47, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Now, onto the actual argument, draftify all to me sounds like, "delete in 6 months". Lithuanian exonyms, for example, had no edits for a year prior to the nom and that's on mainspace. Others were untouched for even longer. We could get it done faster with separate AfDs, even if we spread them across a few months so we don't overwhelm the venue. I also think the specific examples should be kept in mainspace and improved there, so a procedural keep still seems like the best solution. Nickps (talk) 13:21, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comments - Latin, Chinese and Japanese exonyms are clearly notable. I'm not sure about the rest. Some can be draftified, but some are heading to deletion. This keeps coming up on my AfD feed. Can we put it to sleep and start over in April? Bearian (talk) 19:21, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. I don't think anyone has said this explicitly: Exonyms are interesting if they are not trivial examples (among innumerable) of the obvious fact that each language adapts foreign words, including placenames, to its own phonology and orthography. Interesting ones are worth preserving. If they are not segregated by language, perhaps they won't attract cruft, he suggested in passing. —Tamfang (talk) 00:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep for procedural reasons (baby/bathwater) and particularly for sourced info at the Arabic list. There's a single editor who keeps repeating the idea to 'draftify'. That should be avoided as well: Draftspace for minor topics is just a slow bleed-out towards needless deletion of content helpful for our WP:READERS and in this case falls under WP:POINT. End this request altogether, nominate specific bad articles, and move on. — LlywelynII 02:35, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
There's a single editor who keeps repeating the idea to 'draftify'.
There are two editors who suggested draftify, and I only repeated the point once in a reply to a comment after the relist. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:21, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comments — A. There clearly isn't consensus and what support ("delete all") votes there are seem to be either merely applying WP:NOTDICT without examining the articles, alternatives, or counterarguments or to be entirely mistaken ("unsourced" or "not a specific notable area of knowledge"). Can we get this closed? and get the actual bad articles separately and individually renominated?
B. For the curious, the WP:POINTily-enforced WP:NOTDICT alternative to these lists—which would be almost impossible for normal WP:READERs to find—would be the separate categories of exonyms by language at Wiktionary. The way they work can be seen at Category:Arabic exonyms: the lists are grossly incomplete, given in illegible foreign script without context or even transcription, and in the alphabetical order of those foreign languages. The way the application falls completely on its face can be seen at Category:English exonyms: they include terms like Kyiv and Curaçao as "exonyms" because one is isn't written in Cyrillic and the other doesn't have all of its Portuguese diacritics. It's completely unhelpful for any English-speaking reader looking for this information. These articles should be kept for the same reasons as Glossary of rhetorical terms and Glossary of ancient Roman religion unless they are literally only completely unsourced laundry lists. Anything else should just be kept in mainspace and allowed time to improve. — LlywelynII 03:02, 31 March 2024 (UTC) - Keep Japanese exonyms and likely others as well. There's plenty of references discussing the topic wrt Japan and likely most of the others. Individual nominations with a proper BEFORE search for each article is the way to go. DCsansei (talk) 20:18, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep all 1) This is an inappropriate way to discuss the general principle of these articles existing. 2) If the requirement is for every translation to be sourced, let that be the case. That would make the articles easily salvageable. Proposed as a bundle makes efforts to improve during an AfD impossible. 3) These lists are not dictionary entries. They do not (and should not) contain all translations of all toponyms around the world. 4) These lists have a clear limiting criteria for inclusion: that the exonym is different from the endonym, and not as a result of standard transliteration. 5) Exonyms are not a mere curiosity; they are an issue of political significance and contention. There is a UN committee dealing with them and the naming of places.
- Some of these lists certainly need tidying up because there are entries which are not true exonyms on some of the pages (I have been purging a couple in recent times, which is how I was notified of this debate.) But that is a different matter entirely. OsFish (talk) 04:36, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

A subjective term, not defining characteristic. Surely, The Beatles belong to the list. But in many cases " notable sources" may use this term as a promotional hype.

- Delete Poorly defined and vague inclusion criteria. Not an intrinsic or distinguishing characteristic. A certain term having been used once to describe someone isn't necessarily a relevant commonality.

- Delete - There is some merit to discussing a particular band's cult following when that is a matter of knowledgeable coverage, but this list article is just an unencyclopedic mess that doesn't even bother to define the term. Gigantic acts like the Beatles or Beastie Boys or Radiohead are possibly here because someone noted their passionate fanbases, but so many millions of people do not automatically fall within the meaning of "cult following". Also note bands like the Cure or R.E.M., who started with small local followings but then became humungous and never looked back. I recommend a similar analysis of the even vaguer List of cult television shows. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:33, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

WP:AUTOBIO (see creator's username, as he didn't try very hard to hide) of a filmmaker not properly referenced as passing WP:CREATIVE. The attempted notability claim here is a long list of awards from small-fry film festivals -- but awards only clinch notability on their own if they come from top-level film festivals (Cannes, Berlin, Toronto, Venice, Sundance, etc.) whose awards get reported by the media as news, and do not secure a filmmaker's notability if they come from small local, regional or fake-award-mill film festivals where you have to rely on primary sources such as IMDb or the festival's own self-published marketing materials to footnote the claim because media coverage is nonexistent.
But even the rest of the article is still based mainly on a WP:REFBOMB of primary sources (films metasourced to their own presence on streaming platforms, YouTube videos, the self-published catalogues of film festivals that his films were screened at, etc.) with very little evidence of any WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about him or his films shown at all.

- Canvas Magazine is a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself in the first person, not journalism that's independently analyzing his work in the third. Pipeline Artists is a "staff" profile on the self-published website of an organiation he's a member of, not media. JeanBookNerd and Synthtopia and Bain's Film Reviews are blogs, not reliable or GNG-building media outlets. XFM is a college radio station in the subject's own hometown, which briefly mentions Litman's name without being about him in any sense, and thus doesn't help to build GNG because he isn't its subject. Medium is a user-generated blogging platform, not a GNG-worthy media outlet, and it fails to mention Litman's name at all. London Under 30 and the Pasadena Community Foundation are non-media organizations, not GNG-building media. And on and so forth. Bearcat (talk) 18:41, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC.

WP:BLP of a political figure, not properly referenced as passing WP:NPOL. The notability claim here is that he's general secretary of a political party's state-level chapter in one state, which is not an "inherently" notable role that would instantly guarantee inclusion in Wikipedia — but with just two short blurbs announcing his appointment to the role and absolutely no ongoing career coverage about his work in the role, he has not been demonstrated to pass WP:GNG for it.
There are also some BLP sensitivities here, because the article otherwise hinges on an unproven allegation of involvement in a murder case — but per WP:PERP, simply being accused of criminal activity is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself either. He would have to be found guilty in a court of law before we could even begin to consider the possibility of notability as a criminal, and even that still wouldn't be an automatic inclusion freebie — but this has failed to establish that he already has any notability as a politician.

Relaunch at new titles of a list scheme previously deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Canadian Hot 100 top 10 singles in 2020. Since top-tens are not normally discussed or analyzed collectively by reliable sources as a group, these are all referenced solely to the Billboard charts themselves, which is a primary source that does not establish notability.
While we've traditionally permitted lists of the number one singles on notable record charts, there has never been any established consensus that permanently tracking the entire top 10 was warranted -- and if we started to keep the top 10 now, then why not also the top 30, 40, 50 or 100? What's more special about peaking #10 than #11?
So, essentially, this is just a set of primary-sourced lists of trivia that can't be referenced to any outside analysis, and as noted we've previously deleted another attempt to initiate this same scheme. Bearcat (talk) 13:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG, WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:EVENTCRIT, WP:SUSTAINED and WP:LASTING. Both accidents seem to be unrelated so it would be unusual for both of these accidents to be merged in a single article. While both aircraft sustained substantial damage, none of them were written off and none of the occupants on board were injured. The fact is that, on their own, both of these accidents don't meet the said guidelines which means a split isn't really an option. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 12:14, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per lack of WP:LASTING, WP:FART BrigadierG (talk) 12:34, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding notability issues, the article is not intended to be a new, there is a follow-up on the investigation of both accidents and the article´s structure is pretended to be encyclopedic. Also, many other aviation accidents and/or incidents articles do not have an impact or notability in the future, some of them did not even have had any impact ever. Therefore, the article failing these guidelines should not be taken seriously, as many others are failing them too and the main objective of the article is to make this extraordinary event be known and remembered by the aviation community. Now, both accidents at first sight may not seem related, but happening both the same day, in the same airport, the same type of aircrafts, the same cause of accident, makes it a really extraordinary event, that in a way, makes both accidents to be clearly related, also because the news related to the event and it´s respective investigation include both accidents at once. It is true that the event itself was not serious or severe, but as many aviation accidents articles fail notability guidlines, fail severness. I think it is not ethical to delete the article while many others are failing the same guidelines, consisting a lot of minor incidents, and even when this is about an extraodinary event. I think this article does not hurt anyone, in fact helps the aviation community with knowledge, so please let´s try to improve the article. Midame0 (talk) 16:43, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Um, you're making sound like it's a positive thing that happened.
- But back to the topic; Therefore, the article failing these guidelines should not be taken seriously, as many others are failing them too and the main objective of the article is to make this extraordinary event be known and remembered by the aviation community.
- First of all, if we disregarded all guidelines, we can welcome the creation of hundreds of articles on non notable events.
- You keep saying it's an extraordinary event that happened, I agree with that but at the same time, what would you put in the summary if both accidents have different causes? One aircraft was taking off while the other was landing. Those are two different parts of a flight with most likely different causes.
- Now, both accidents at first sight may not seem related, but happening both the same day, in the same airport, the same type of aircrafts, the same cause of accident, makes it a really extraordinary event, that in a way, makes both accidents to be clearly related, also because the news related to the event and it´s respective investigation include both accidents at once.
- You seem to be confusing cause and result. These accidents didn't happen because of a runway excursion but were caused by something. A runway excursion is not the cause of the accident but is a result of the cause.
- To counter your argument, both were the same aircraft but were not operated by the same airline which means both airlines might have different practices which means both accidents most likely have different causes.
- Another argument is that one aircraft was not directly involved in causing the other plane to crash, this is not a runway incursion. I've checked the news and I could only see this event being talked about for two days by aviation sites/ blogs. Since then, no new information has been given which fails WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE.
- Finally, I would like to see where you heard that both accidents would be merged into one single investigation as that's practically unheard of and also because none of the sources in the article state this, if that's what you meant or I misunderstood.
- It is true that the event itself was not serious or severe, but as many aviation accidents articles fail notability guidlines, fail severness. I think it is not ethical to delete the article while many others are failing the same guidelines, consisting a lot of minor incidents, and even when this is about an extraodinary event. I think this article does not hurt anyone, in fact helps the aviation community with knowledge, so please let´s try to improve the article.
- Just because other articles fail the aforementioned guidelines doesn't mean others get a pass. You keep saying "articles" in general but could you show us examples of these incidents? No article hurts anybody but the point is that the article needs to have sufficient coverage, sources, secondary sources and a reason to believe that these incidents could have lasting impacts in the aviation industry. The only reason this article was created was because both incidents wouldn't be notable enough to have their own standalone articles. I would love to improve this article but the problem is that this article hasn't shown why it should stay.
- I would say an alternate solution is to merge and redirect to Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia#Accidents and incidents. Both incidents are already mentioned on the page so a redirect could be an alternative. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 18:07, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- First of all, I have never wanted to make it sound like this event happening is good, I do not know what words I used but is not my intention in the least. Both accidents actually occured by the same cause, wich is a landing gear problem. One aircraft suffered it while landing and the other while taking off, but the cause is the same: a landing gear failure. I do not think it is sure which exact problems they suffered, as almost no information is available, but it is confirmed that both aircrafts sufferd a landing gear failure or collapse (I´m not sure), that lead to a runway excursion. Being the aircrafts operated by different airlines may make the cause of the landing gear failure different, but it is likely that they were caused by a problem regarding that type of aircraft. And I´m not sure if both aircrafts were merged into one single investigation, but in the sources I got the information of, it can be understood that they are being investigated by the same group, and happening on the same day place and all these circunstances, it is likely that they are investigating both aircrafts at once.
- And yes, i agree that the article lacks coverage, impact, notability, but many more do so. In List of accidents and incidents involving commercial aircraft there are plenty of articles that lack notability, like 2024 Jetways Airlines Fokker 50 crash, wich "has multiple issues", as the notation in the top shows. That article as many others are way worse written and source-linked, lacking notability too. Even though the accidents were of minimal severeness, I highlight the extraordinarity of this event, the fact that all these circunstances took place is something unique, otherwise i would not be loosing my time investigating and writting the whole article. In that list as I said there are plently of cases that are not notable, and i got inspired to write this article becuase of a video a relatively famous pilot youtuber uploaded talking about this event, so I would say it is at least somewhat of notable, definetely more than others in that list. And your suggestion is really good, you could merge and redirect to Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia#Accidents and incidents, but my main goal was to be put on that list I linked above.
- Finally I want to say that writting the whole article took me hours, my time as surely yours is important, so I´m not here to write articles that are going to be deleted. If you want to delete it, go on, I´m not going to be discussing this not much more. Do whatever you feel is ok to do, it definetely is the last article I´m ever going to create. Don´t take this personally though. Midame0 (talk) 20:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Well let's say that the first aircraft made a hard landing because of pilot error whilst the second collapsed because of a maintenance issue. The causes would be pilot error leading to a hard landing, gear collapse and runway overrun while the other would be maintenance issue leading to collapse that lead to a runway overrun. Same thing, the gear collapse was the result of the cause.
- The investigative agency would probably investigate both at the same time but not investigate both and put it into a single report.
- And yes, i agree that the article lacks coverage, impact, notability, but many more do so. In List of accidents and incidents involving commercial aircraft there are plenty of articles that lack notability, like 2024 Jetways Airlines Fokker 50 crash, wich "has multiple issues", as the notation in the top shows. That article as many others are way worse written and source-linked, lacking notability too.
- As user tedder said, this is not a reason to keep the article per WP:WHATABOUTX.
- I highlight the extraordinarity of this event, the fact that all these circunstances took place is something unique, otherwise i would not be loosing my time investigating and writting the whole article.

- Just an advice, if you don't want to waste your time, it is suggested that you read guidelines on article creation.
- More notable or less notable doesn't mean anything as long as you can prove that the article doesn't warrant to be axed.
- Uniqueness doesn't determine whether an event warrants an article.
- I don't know if you're taking this personally or not but nobody is trying to diminish the event's notability but this article hasn't demonstrated notability and fails multiple guidelines.
- Finally I want to say that writting the whole article took me hours, my time as surely yours is important, so I´m not here to write articles that are going to be deleted. If you want to delete it, go on, I´m not going to be discussing this not much more. Do whatever you feel is ok to do, it definetely is the last article I´m ever going to create. Don´t take this personally though.
- I mean, it's not our fault that you decided to write an article on an event that hardly demonstrates notability. I'm not taking this personally but you sure do sound like you are. Hopefully you'll stay and contribute. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 15:52, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- I didn’t see the reply in time. I have to admit that the article lacks notability and the causes may differ as you said. In the beginning, I took this kind of personally because I was hyped to write an article to put it on the list, since I don’t usually write anything. That’s why I was irritated about “no sense reasons”, but now I see that is really a WikiPedia’s rule and it has no sense to write an article about that event. I would say that since nobody seems to report it apart from mainly you, to keep it. If it gets deleted I would not be mad and I don’t longer care, I will just be careful when writing another article if I do so. Midame0 (talk) 22:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately a non-notable character article. The article has some WP:SIGCOV from reliable sources - to the extent that the character is a topic of discussion in Game Ramt style pieces - but what is here is quite minimal: this is not a character with a personality, story or really any background, there is no initial reception as acknowledged in the article, no known development history behind the character, and the coverage that is purported to give rise to notability is a meme about the character's purported difficulty and reappearance in later titles. The article also overstates fan reaction a little which sort of indicates to me that there's not a lot that reviewers or outlets themselves have to say about the character. Overall I'm not sure if the sum total of sources really have enough to say about this character to merit an article. Please also note that the page creator has worked hard to find additional sources on the talk page that may be of use, although these seemed more like gameplay coverage. I concede that the standard with character articles has been difficult to gauge recently so open to views and appreciate the hard work of the page creator: if a merge to the Wii Sports series or game is preferable, let's prioritise that.

- Keep a quick Google search turns up significant coverage of Matt in particular as a character of particular cultural importance from the Wii Sports universe. For example, there are plenty of sources discussing him in depth as a character with Wii Sports being only a backdrop:
- https://gamerant.com/wii-sports-matt-popularity-explained/
- https://www.svg.com/1051111/why-matt-from-wii-sports-has-become-an-iconic-gaming-meme/
- There are also sources which describe his cultural relevance, for example this article in Polygon seems to say that not only that he exists, but that he has "widespread popularity":
- https://www.polygon.com/23306387/nintendo-switch-sports-matt-wii-meme-input-code BrigadierG (talk) 12:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- SVG is unreliable, while Valnet sources like GameRant doesn't help WP:GNG, see WP:VG/RS. Possibly in all, only the Polygon is a good source, thou you need WP:THREE that are sigcov. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 13:16, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- I know this isn't a WP:ITSPOPULAR argument, but the issue is that the depth of coverage relates to a very narrow aspect of the character: the meme. The "widespread popularity" noted in the Polygon article is stated in the context of the meme; and some sources even state that Matt was unnoticed until this point. So I think the live issue is whether all this coverage counteracts the fact that the article and coverage don't have much to say about the other aspects of background, story, development and critical reception normally present in a character article. But then I guess there are articles for memes so this is obviously not clear-cut. VRXCES (talk) 21:21, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

- Merge per nom. In my discussions on the talk page, nothing was really sticking out to me in terms of notability. I was going to BLAR or AfD it myself within the coming days myself if nothing came up, but since this is happening now, I may as well lay my thoughts out here. He doesn't seem to be notable per the current sourcing, but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing some of the content here be referenced in Wii Sports' article given Matt did get some coverage, even if most of it doesn't contribute to notability.

Looking at Google Books, there are lots of results that are about the wheel or its manufacturer. Unfortunately none of them have preview sufficient that I can tell how in depth the coverage is. I was able to discount two results as adverts, I can't say for certain none of the following ones from the first page of results are adverts but the latter two definitely aren't:
- The Autocar 1975
- Investors Chronicle 1976 Likely to be about the manufacturer
- European Rubber Journal 1976
- Automotive Industries 1973 Possibly an advert?
- Science and Australian Technology 1971
- The Bermudan 1973
- Design 1974
- Bristol Cars Model by Model 2015 I don't think this is in-depth coverage, but the preview ends too soon to be certain.

- There is a small amount of coverage on Page 34 of the March 2023 edition of Jaguar World https://issuu.com/jdcsa/docs/jdcsa_cm_march_2023_final_150_mb
- There is an advert on PDF page 17 of the October 1974 edition of Motor Sport magazine that includes quotes of coverage in The Times, The Guardian and Custom Car https://porschecarshistory.com/wp-content/old/lib/magazines/ms/1974/10.1974.PDF
- The November 6th, 1973 edition of Felix (the Newspaper of Imperial College Union) contains a short article about the wheel on page 8 https://f001.backblazeb2.com/file/felixonlinearchive/issues/pdfs/felix_345.pdf
- An advert appeared on page 20 of the 20 April 1975 edition of New Nation (a Singapore newspaper) suggesting wide distribution. https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/issue/newnation19750430-1
- There was coverage in Volum 60 of New Scientist (1973) (page 264), but again this is a snippet only view so I don't know how extensive it is.
- Taken together with the many other snippets from google books that are clearly independent coverage, I'm convinced that there is enough coverage to sustain an article but that very nearly all of that coverage is offline - which shouldn't be that surprising for a product that came and went in the 1970s.

- Question Was there a reason why all the articles you nominated have separate noms? Conyo14 (talk) 16:44, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- From the one nomination about the article for FIFA Club World Cup, it was suggested that they should be nominated separately. I thought it was wise to nominate them separately until I realised that it was because they were about separate sporting events. I have to admit, I'm not too versed with this nominating them together. I'm trying to get into grip with it. SpacedFarmer (talk) 17:21, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's all good. If you wanted to, you could withdraw the other nominations and have this one be your collection of the nominations. However, you may still proceed if one country features more notability than the others. Conyo14 (talk) 17:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

- Procedural keep per WP:TRAINWRECK; way too large of a bundle to be manageable. These deserve to be examined individually or in smaller batches. From a basic Google search that took less than a minute, I found sources addressing the sports broadcasting situation in the US as a group and cohesive topic in accordance with WP:NLIST criteria; that one has a realistic chance of being kept on its own merits. The US and some of the other major countries like Japan, Brazil, India, Canada, should probably be done individually. Left guide (talk) 22:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

They're new to mass AfDs, and actually nominated these separately before asking them to be combined following a suggestion that may have partly been misunderstood.

(Quoting WP:USEFUL, "Gesturing to something's usefulness in a vacuum does not help assess its value on an encyclopedia. You need to say why something is useful or useless. This way, other editors can judge whether it's useful and encyclopedic according to Wikipedia's policies. Arguments of something's usefulness, uselessness, or value devoid of further context are not valid or persuasive.") Coining (talk) 15:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

No refs on the page for many years. I'm suggesting it should be WP:TNT on the basis that there is too little information on the page to expand, merge or redirect. Which Act is this Article from? There are sources which seem to refer to it, but how do we know it is the same one that this page is discussing. JMWt (talk) 08:24, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. This seems to be it. --Ouro (blah blah) 09:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- If that's correct (I can't verify that it is or isn't), perhaps General Permitted Development Order should be expanded. I can't really see how a redirect would help (again, I'm not an expert but there could be many Article 14 in national laws that this could be referring to). JMWt (talk) 09:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep and move to Directions preventing the determination of applications or General Development Procedure Order or similar. This is the general power of direction [18] and is part of the notable context described in that chapter 8 of that book. However, these directions are now called article 31 directions (which also include the former article 25 directions) and satisfy GNG. There are entire book chapters [19] and entire periodical articles [20] about them. There is also coverage in a number of other sources. There is no problem with a redirect from "article 14 direction" as that name has actually been used [21] [22]. We don't need to disambiguate unless other legislation has directions that are verifiably called "article 14 directions" (merely having an "article 14" is not enough). For the avoidance of doubt, the General Development Procedure Order (GDPO), now replaced by the "Development Management Procedure" order, is not the General Permitted Development Order. And the GDPO should have an article. James500 (talk) 16:46, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ok seeing as you seem to know something about it, I even more strongly suggest WP:TNT (or draftify) until you and other knowledgeable editors can get around to writing the page. Because from what you are saying the current page is actually legally outdated and incorrect. Given the current page fails WP:V we shouldn't keep it in mainspace. JMWt (talk) 17:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- The topic of an article does not become unverifiable just because some of the content is out of date. Every article on Wikipedia goes out of date on a regular basis, because new information and new developments are happening all the time on every subject. The page is a verifiable description of a law that existed under that name during and after 1995, and which still exists in a substantially equivalent form under a different name. Article content about a period of history does not become unverifiable just because the period of history is over. In any event, notability is not temporary per the guideline WP:NTEMP. Therefore this topic does not cease to be notable just because the name has changed. In any event, the applicable policy is not TNT, but is instead WP:ATD which says "If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page". That is case here. TNT is not grounds for imposing a seven day deadline on updates to a page, every time it goes out of date, on pain of deletion if the update is not carried out in seven days. James500 (talk) 18:53, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Done. The article is not out of date now. That took exactly 25 minutes at a very leisurely pace without breaking a sweat. A child, with no previous knowledge of the subject, could have done that update. Hardly a case for TNT. Not even close. James500 (talk) 19:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Absolute rubbish, if it was that easy then someone would have done it before now. I'm not a child, I have no prior knowledge and it was clear that I couldn't improve the page.
- Anyway, I'm glad you've been able to improve it to your satisfaction. Incidentally even with improvement I'm not convinced it meets the notability standards. JMWt (talk) 20:19, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Happy to see the article growing, still... I think that some more context should be provided, the article should include some more background as to the environment of the legal regulations it describes. I think. To be frank, at first glance it's difficult to put into perspective. --Ouro (blah blah) 20:25, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

The review notes: "Screen Gems and Dan Enright have turned "Candid Camera" into a game show for the firstrun syndication market, and WPIX-TV has slotted it in the all-important 7:30 p.m. strip for the New York ratings chase. During each half-hour segment, five situations are shown in which a hidden camera records a citizen hoaxed into making a decision. An example in the opening show had a stranger (show cast) trying to cajole a man into delivering a ticking package to the Chinese embassy. At the moment of decision, the frame is frozen and two teams of contestants in the studio try to figure out what the persons deci- sion will be. On the initialer, William Shatner and a partner were pitted against Gwen Verdon and a partner."
The review notes: "The show has a rapid pace, what with the number of situations presented in each half hour, and a beneficial comedic spontaneity via ad lib aspects by the actors on location. The intriguing twist of the audience being in on something the subject isn't, works here as it did in "Candid Camera." Host Richard Hayes suits the comedy format nicely. "All About Faces" is produced in Canada."

The article notes: "All About Faces, CTV's new morning show, premiering this fall, is about those first impressions. With all the visual humor of a situation comedy and the fast-paced action of a game show. All About Faces proves just how right—or how wrong—our first impressions can be. Host of this series is Richard Hayes, a veteran performer of many television variety and talk shows. ... The guest panelists are chosen from a broad range of interests: arts, science, theatre or journalism and each bring a partner. Each team will be given $50 to start the half hour with, using portions of it to bet on their predictions."

The article review: "Actually, I'm alongside you, Mr. Salvatore. I'd be even more committed to your cause if I could be sure "All About Faces" (WPIX-TV, Sundays, 7:30 PM) was really the lowest point of idiocy. ... "All About Faces," which began competing for the title of the most idiotic games show last August, is a fairly original program by TV's standards. By that I mean it combines elements of "Candid Camera" and "Let's Make A Deal." The derivative game shows, or "unoriginals," only copy one of the earlier classics, not two. ... For those of you who aren't gamespeople, and don't know what Mr. Salvatore and I are fighting about, "All About Faces" opens with a film crew going into the streets and duping people into doing silly things which degrade human foibles. For instance, recently a model in hot pants engaged a newly married man in conversation before giving him her phone number. "By the way," she asked, "are you married?""

The article notes: "A hidden camera captures on film ordinary people in typical situations (for example, a woman receives the wrong order in a restaurant and the waiter disagrees). Except for the innocent victim, the entire situation is staged so that the person is intentionally placed in a difficult position where a decision must be made. At that critical moment the film is stopped and the contestants must guess what will happen next."

The article notes: "Like many other syndicated American TV programs, "All About Faces" is produced in places such as Toronto because its cheaper to make cheap TV shows in Canada. If the show had been produced in Sodom (New York) or Gomorrah (Los Angeles), there might have been even less money up for grabs on "All About Faces." ... Now I wouldn't want to be the one to encourage escalation of prizes in game shows, but charity is such a good cause, it's difficult to imagine any harm that could be done it by upping the ante on "All About Faces.""

The book notes: "This daily syndicated comedy-game show was produced in Canada for American television. On "All About Faces," each program consisted of situations in which a hidden camera recorded an unsuspecting citizen who was forced into making a decision. Sample challenges included a woman sitting in a restaurant and ordering a meal and the waiter bringing out something totally different. Does the woman send the food back or eat it? At the moment of decision the film clip was stopped and two teams, each composed of a celebrity couple, tried to guess the outcome. Each team, which began with $50, could bet any or all of their money on the outcome. The team with the most money at the end of the show was the winner."

So many incarnations for so thin a premise: the celebrity contestant teams on All About Faces would view prefilmed sequences, then try to predict how the little "dramas" depicted in those sequences would turn out."

- TO THE CLOSER OF THE ARTICLE:
- Here is why I believe that this article should be kept:
- CaseOh is a quickly growing streamer on Twitch, over the past few months he has grown substantially, reaching MILLIONS of subscribers and followers on multiple different platforms. He is extremely well-known, especially on Twitch and Tiktok, and (saying this as an exaggeration), you could ask pretty much anybody on these social platforms who CaseOh is, and they will immediately know. His channels have grown exponentially recently. I understand this alone does not prove notability, but it shows that he is well-known, so more sources about him are likely to appear very soon.
- CaseOh has received multiple awards. He has received the silver play button and the gold play button from YouTube. Although there are many people who have received these rewards, so they may not be super significant, but they are well-known, which is criteria in WP:ANYBIO for presumed notability. He has also received an award from The Streamer Awards, and was nominated for 2 other awards. These awards are both significant and well-known. Very few people have received an award from the Streamer Awards, less than 100 based on the amount of Streamer Award shows that have taken place. However, the event is growing quickly, it reached 645,000 concurrent viewers this year, according to this main source, but also many other sources like this one and this one. I believe that this definitely passed WP:ANYBIO, due to the significance of that award, and the 2 nominations. There were also many internet celebrities attending this event, along with it being broadcasted on many places on the internet, with articles about it being made from large companies such as IGN, who made not one, but two articles about it.
- According to WP:SNG and WP:Notability, it says the subject does not need to meet WP:GNG if it meets WP:SNG. For WP:ANYBIO, it says they are notable if they won a significant award, or were nominated for multiple significant awards.
- Even if you say I am wrong and meeting WP:SNG does not overwrite WP:GNG, I still believe that there are at least 2 sources in the article that meet WP:GNG. As I stated in my reply to another editor, "I believe stwalkerster made a mistake in his source assessment, as he marked the sources from VentureJolt and The Tech Education as unreliable, specifically because they "publish too frequently". Based off of the size of the articles being published and the possibility of them being made earlier before publishing, I do not believe this has nothing to do with the reliability, therefore those 2 are reliable sources which would both count to WP:GNG. However, that is up to the closer to decide. If these sources are counted as going toward GNG, then the article is definitely fit to keep on Wikipedia." He also marked the articles from ESportsIllustrated, a reliable source, as "Little more than a list entry", but these articles do not just list CaseOh, they talk about him and his streams, and even feature him in multiple large images in the articles.
- I strongly believe this article should be kept, but if my arguments for keeping it are not enough, I request that this article gets draftified until more sources can be found. However, once again, I believe that shouldn't be needed, because I think the article should be kept on the mainspace (just maybe with a banner to encourage finding more citations). Thank you.

- Subscribers alone don't guarantee you the buttons. YouTube sometimes choose not to award channels the buttons e.g. music or news channel generally don't get them. Case evidently got his button, but if all you have is a primary source, that won't contribute towards notability. Cortador (talk) 09:51, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- CaseOh is obviously not a music or news channel. According to WP:ANYBIO, this does contribute to notability. As long as you are able to prove he has received the award (which I did prove), then it counts. Antny08 (talk) 12:02, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

- Draftify. EDIT: Changed vote to draftify, as arguments from others do make sense. Tosay he is not notable makes absolutely no sense. If you have a social media account you will almost guaranteed know who CaseOh is. He has not thousands, but MILLIONS of followers. According to WP: Notability (people), significant awards automatically make the subject presumably notable. CaseOh has recieved the silver and gold play buttons, both very significant awards, but most importantly, he won the Best Variety Streamer Award (with multiple great sources to prove it), which is a very significant and rare award. These awards alone are enough to make CaseOh presumably notable. The sources in the article are reliable enough and provide enough coverage of CaseOh to finish out that notability. CaseOh is known by millions upon millions of people, it does not make any sense to say he is "not notable enough for Wikipedia".
- Antny08 (talk) 10:46, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not to mention sources like this [24], which are also from ESports Illustrated. Not only is it a reliable source, but it literally says he is the 5th most popular streamer on Twitch and the MOST POPULAR variety streamer. To comment on your writing about venturejolt, the link that you sent does not state it is a blog anywhere on there. Also, that very page you sent says this “At VentureJolt, we uphold the highest editorial standards to ensure the accuracy and reliability of our news content.

- Popularity isn't really a factor for whether a subject is notable by Wikipedia's standards. A subject is notable if that subject has already been written about extensively by others who are independent of the subject in published reliable sources, and I'm just not seeing that here. The best alternatives are indeed the awards, or WP:CREATIVE which I think we're even further from. On the subject of awards, there are various sites which claim there are tens of thousands of gold play buttons awarded so I doubt that these are at the level of significance intended by WP:ANYBIO. I've briefly been through the sources in the article as it stands at the moment, and I agree with the nominator that there isn't really enough significant coverage (see table below which I've barely even populated and yet it's still entirely red on the right hand side). On the subject of ESportsIllustrated, (whether or not it's reliable) the information there about CaseOh is purely as a list entry with almost no coverage. I've not properly assessed VentureJolt/TheTechEducation, but they do give me vibes of being content-mill websites rather than sites with journalistic integrity. The author of the VentureJolt article appears to be publishing about 5 articles daily, which makes me nervous how much time and effort is being put into each article. The author of the TheTechEducation article appears to have an even faster publish rate. stwalkerster (talk) 12:49, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- The speed at publishing does not affect the reliability and you cannot just assume it’s unreliable just because you don’t like how fast he publishes. Publishing frequently can actually be a sign of reliability, not the opposite. The streamer awards alone proves notability for CaseOh. There are multiple articles about it. The Streamer Awards received 645 THOUSAND concurrent viewers this year. He was nominated for not one, not two, but THREE different awards and won an award from the event, the BEST VARIETY STREAMER. The Streamer Awards were highly broadcasted online and had many famous figures and viewers. This shows notability. Antny08 (talk) 14:51, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- As I replied on my talk page, a high speed of publications from a single author makes me doubt that any substantial research and fact-checking has gone into any of the articles published by that author. It also makes me doubt that anyone is giving proper editorial oversight over that publication. Neither of those are good signs for the journalistic integrity or reliability of those sources. Sure, it's just an indicator and not a firm point, but a relevant one. stwalkerster (talk) 14:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- Another thing, according to WP:SNG and WP:Notability, it says the subject does not need to meet WP:GNG if it meets WP:SNG. For WP:ANYBIO, it says they are notable if they won a significant award, or were nominated for multiple significant awards. CaseOh was nominated for 3 different awards at the Streamer Awards and won one of them. This event had 645,000 concurrent viewers, and was broadcasting everywhere online during its airing. It is a very popular event with many famous people attending and watching. I believe this proves the notability. Antny08 (talk) 16:56, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Start reading higher up on the page:
- "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."
- This is followed by
- "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards." My emphasis. That means, if they meet the following standards, WP:BASIC sources are likely to be around. If they're not, they're not. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:38, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Considering his cultural relevance, I think it's safe to assume Baker is worthy of an article. A testament to this fact is the myriad of satirical content published about him (for example popular YouTuber Meatcanyon's[25] recently published satire about Baker and his streams). By merit of his growth and awards I believe him to be worthy of an article, although more sources would be optimal hitherto expansion of the article. Nikolai Gennadievich Nazarov (talk) 17:48, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I believe that there are reliable sources in the article. I believe stwalkerster made a mistake in his source assesment, as he marked the sources from Venturejolt and The Tech Education as unreliable, specifically because they "publish too frequently". Based off of the size of the articles being published and the possibility of them being made earlier before publishing, I do not believe this has nothing to do with the reliablility, therefore those 2 are reliable sources which would both count to WP:GNG. However, that is up to the closer to decide. If these sources are counted as going toward GNG, then the article is definitely fit to keep on Wikipedia. Antny08 (talk) 01:00, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- NEW SOURCE:
- [26]
- Here is a new source for CaseOh, just released. It is from thesportsgrail.com, which is used as a source in hundreds of articles. This source may meet WP:GNG, please let me know. Antny08 (talk) 14:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete For failing WP:NPERSON - the source analysis seems right on the money. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:55, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- No, according to WP:ANYBIO, he meets notability guidelines. Please reconsider. Antny08 (talk) 14:39, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Where are the WP:THREE best sources then? I don't see even a single source that is both reliable and significant, much less multiple ones. ANYBIO simply suggests the person is probably notable, proof is still required in the form of sources. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- I suggested we should draftify the article, until better sources can be found. Please consider changing your input to draftify rather than delete so we can provide time for better sources to emerge. Thanks. Antny08 (talk) 15:16, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Personally, I don't see evidence that draftification will save the article. You say "give time to come up with sources" but they would have come to light already if they existed. If you want to preserve the article you can do it locally but I wouldn't recreate it, even as a draft, unless the sources are there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:27, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- CaseOh is a popular figure with his popularity only growing. New sources are inevitable to appear soon. Draftifying the article will allow it to be accessed by Wikipedia editors and allow for new sources to be added. Antny08 (talk) 15:30, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- "He will get popular, trust me" is not the most compelling argument as it has no obvious date where sources might appear, compared to a work of media, for example. I don't mind userfication of the article, but I do think that proving notability within the 6 months required for a draft to stay active will be a tall order. So, you are free to put it in your userspace until such time it merits being a draft per WP:WOOD. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Please, do not delete this article. I have spent so long on it, if it gets deleted I will probably leave Wikipedia. I really like this website so I do not want to. New sources will definitely emerge in the next few months, it will not even take 6 months. CaseOh is a popular figure so new sources are bound to emerge. Antny08 (talk) 16:09, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Wait, I apologize, can you explain userfication vs draftifying to me? I think at may be a bit confused. Antny08 (talk) 16:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Draft is putting it in draftspace. However, drafts are still expected to be an article fairly soon and are deleted after a period of inactivity. Userfication is putting it in your WP:USERSPACE. They can be kept there indefinitely and are more suited for pages that might be notable but which there is no proof it will happen anytime soon.
- I'd not suggest WP:BLACKMAIL however, as it's not going to sway anyone to your side. People are generally not Wikipedia editors for only a sole article, that suggests some degree of not being here to build an encyclopedia. One has to be open to a "you win some, you lose some" mentality. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:38, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- I understand, I did not mean to come off as blackmail, but if the article gets deleted then it will double my deleted edits count, which will strongly hurt my chances of getting administrator someday. I want to be an administrator to help people out and to help build Wikipedia, and I do not want all of my hours of work to be for nothing. If putting it in my user space does not mark the edits as deleted, then I am fine with that as well. Antny08 (talk) 16:50, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- I think you're focusing on the wrong thing here, having stuff we write changed and deleted is part of the WP-learning process. It's how we learn how stuff like WP:RS and WP:BLP works. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, but if I have a lot of deleted edits nobody is going to want to vote for me to become an administrator. I work really hard on my edits, 99% of them are non-automated edits, so I do not want my hard work actually ending up looking bad for me. Antny08 (talk) 19:34, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- If you check some of the discussions at Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#About_RfA, I think you'll find it hard to find one where discussion about deleted edits had any effect on the outcome.

- Actually being worried about how something will affect one's adminship later is going into the realm of WP:HATCOLLECTING. Otherwise I'm not so sure why you'd be so concerned about it, given that it's essentially a purely janitorial role. You can't do "whatever you want" as an admin so it's something you naturally get when you are already doing the work of an admin and require the tools to expedite it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:39, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Since all refs currently in the article are from January and forward, there is also a WP:SUSTAINED problem. Give it a year or two, maybe he will have staying power. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:12, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- The WP:SUSTAINED does not define what length of period counts as being “sustained”. Due to other text in the WP:SUSTAINES and sections surrounding it, I believe it is more talking about flash events like a shooting or something like that, where sources are very new (>1 month) and are likely to go away soon. The sources about CaseOh are multiple months old for some, and there will most likely be new sources emerging rather than not. This does not fall under WP:SUSTAINED Antny08 (talk) 11:17, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Draftify/Userfy - Sources present do not demonstrate notability, and I can find none elsewhere. While I don't think there will be any significant coverage from reliable sources in the near future, draftifying/userfying is probably the best route. – Pbrks (t·c) 04:30, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- To be clear, I am also okay with deleting the article, to avoid no consensus. – Pbrks (t·c) 14:15, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- There will be reliable sources in the future. Case’s popularity has been growing and is still growing since I wrote my first message about his popularity growing. There is no reason to delete the article, since new sources are bound to emerge. Antny08 (talk) 14:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

The following has been moved from my talk page, as it is more relevant here – Pbrks (t·c) 15:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Why do you believe that CaseOh should be deleted from Wikipedia? You did not present any arguments, other than the fact that you said “you don’t think that any new sources will appear”. Multiple other people have stated the exact opposite, including me, so I do not understand why you would think that. Case’s popularity is constantly growing, and new sources will definitely come out. Please reconsider in your vote for deletion. Antny08 (talk) 14:34, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Antny08: As I said, there are not any reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject. Saying
new sources will definitely come out
is a WP:ATA#CRYSTAL argument. CaseOh does not meet WP:GNG. – Pbrks (t·c) 14:36, 26 March 2024 (UTC)- If you read my reasons to keep that I created for the closer, I stated how 1. If he meets WP:SNG (which he does), it says he does not need to meet WP:GNG, and 2. Two of the sources in the article I believe do meet WP:GNG. I do not believe it is a Crystal argument. He is a very popular figure with no stop in popularity, so based on the rate of sources now there are gaurenteed to be more soon, it’s hardly even an assumption since it’s pretty much gaurenteed. You are saying you don’t think that more sources will appear, you are the only one who said that, but most people including me believe the opposite. Deleting the article makes no sense, since time should be given to improve it. Antny08 (talk) 14:41, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Antny08: I do not believe that he meets that SNG criteria. The sources present have one of two problems: (1) If it is a reliable source (e.g. Esports Illustrated), then it does not contain significant coverage of the subject; and (2) If it contains significant coverage of the subject, then it is not reliable (e.g. Sportskeeda). It is absolutely, 100% a crystal argument to say that sources will exist in the future. – Pbrks (t·c) 14:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Then isn’t it also a crystal argument to say sources won’t exist in the future? Also, WP:SNG is not WP:GNG. All you need to do is prove that they won a significant award for WP:SNG, which he did and the sources do prove that. I think at least some of the ESports Illustrated articles provide significant coverage of him. It is more than just a list entry, there is a whole paragraph talking about him, and there are 2 photos featured of him in one of the articles, including in the main photo of that article. Antny08 (talk) 14:51, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Antny08: Yes, it is a crystal argument to say that arguments won't exist, and while I did mention that I don't believe sources will come in the near future, that was not my rationale. For one, I do not believe the subject meets WP:NBIO (the Streamer Awards is hardly a well-known award). Moreover, if you read NBIO, you would have seen that
meeting one or more does [criteria] not guarantee that a subject should be included
. Lastly, if the most coverage from a reliable source that we have is "a whole paragraph" and a few images, then the subject certainly is not notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. – Pbrks (t·c) 15:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)- In WP:Notability, it states,
- “A topic is presumed to merit an article if:
- It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG); and
- It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy.“
- It says it must either meet GNG OR SNG. The Streamer Awards is not hardly a well-known award. This year, the event had 645,000 concurrent viewers, with similar amounts in previous years. It was broadcasted by many popular celebrities and internet streamers, along with many celebrities in attendance. Less than 100 people have won something from the Streamer Awards, making it significant. That viewer count also definitely makes it well-known. Antny08 (talk) 15:05, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- The (intentional) problem here is that the "well-known" is subjective, so it is a matter of opinion. I am aware of the viewership, and I do not consider that to be a significant enough number to be deemed "well-known". Well-known awards would be the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Grammy Awards, ARIA Music Awards, The Emmy Awards, etc. Lastly, a presumption of notability is not the same as a guarantee of notability. A presumption of notability means we give the subject an initial "benefit of the doubt" at AfD. It does not mean it gets a "free pass" at AfD. – Pbrks (t·c) 15:15, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, but it does not seem like anybody is giving CaseOh the “benefit of the doubt”. Also, the ARIA Music Awards only received less than 300,000 (238,000 to be exact according to https://tags.news.com.au/) viewers last year. So if you perceive that to be well-known, then so is The Streamer Awards. 645,000 viewers is well-known. That would be like the entire population of Luxembourg watching the Streamer Awards. The 645k figure is just the peak concurrent viewer amount, not the total viewer amount. While there does not seem to be a total viewer count (I have not researched that much), it is likely much higher than the 645,000. Antny08 (talk) 15:23, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Antny08: If you are trying to argue that the three-year-old Streamer Awards are a more well-known event than the 37-year-old ARIA Music Awards, we are done here, I believe. Again, what "well-known" means is a matter of opinion, and I have stated mine numerous times. I will WP:DROPTHESTICK and let the AfD run its course. – Pbrks (t·c) 16:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, we can end this debate here. Personally, I have never heard of the ARIA Music Awards. What matters it that currently, the Streamer Awards are much more popular. “Well-known” is subject to interpretation, but you can most likely agree that viewership plays a major part. Have a good one Antny08 (talk) 16:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: AFDs like this one, with voluminous comments, are why bolded votes are helpful. There is a lot of debate going on here, like comparing viewer count for awards shows (?) that is not helpful for coming to a consensus. Several reminders: Do not bludgeon this discussion and reply to every comment you disagree with, this rarely convinces people to change their minds. Secondly, we base notability on existing sources, in the article or brought up in this discussion, not on hypothetical future media coverage. Finally, I am wary of Draftifying options as I think the article would stay in Draft space for a few minutes before being moved back to main space and then we would start AFD2.0 immediately afterward. Let's not do this whole thing over again in a week or two. But regardless of my apprehension, consensus will be honored.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 07:11, 28 March 2024 (UTC)- Just for clarification: I would not move it back to draftspace in a few weeks. I would be fine with waiting multiple months if needed until new sources emerge. Antny08 (talk) 11:48, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete with a comment. All right, I will try to summarise my perspective from the discussion above. First, kudoz to @User:stwalkerster for the reference analysis table, until I learn the ins and outs I will always have praise for those who do the table. What we have here is someone who has recently gained some sort of popularity in a niche environment, and there is minor coverage of this through sourcing that is very weakly relevant in terms of general notability, at best. Significant policy has been pointed out, for instance, that follower and viewer counts don't really add up to notability; viewership may play a part, but it's also minor. I seldom do outright delete indications and rather do comments, but this case is rather clear. In short: If this person does turn out to be generally popular in the long term, with solid references and sustained coverage of his work, then it will be time for an article. We don't do crystalballing as to what might and what might not transpire. That time has not yet come, and we do not guess, it's as simple as that. --Ouro (blah blah) 08:58, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

- Note to closer - Antny08 has created Draft:CaseOh (streamer) via a copy-and-paste move. Depending on the result of this AfD, this article should have its history merged into the draft, or the draft should be deleted as well. – Pbrks (t·c) 14:44, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. Per Stwalkerster's table above, the sources listed do not seem to pass the notability test. Perhaps in the future, but this is too soon. Recommend moving to the userspace or draftify for incubation and re-publishing if/when reliable sources that support notability are found. nf utvol (talk) 11:49, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per reasoning in source analysis table. I don't doubt subject will become notable by Wikipedia's notability guidelines eventually (with emphasis on Wikipedia's notability), though CaseOh is undoubtedly notable in pop culture. Unless reliable sources can be found, we don't need the article as-is. I think a draft is absolutely fine, provided that the quality of sources is improved and the writing avoids a promotional tone.

The article notes: "This research paper analyses and compares the strategic plans through shared mission and vision of some schools and countries, analysing the case studies of NOVA Secondary School of Skopje and one local primary school Jan Amos Komenski, Skopje. ... The participant in Interview 1, Dr. Bela Gligorova, is the secondary school division principal of Nova International School of Skopje. This school has recently been accredited by the International Baccalaureate authorization team and is currently preparing for the upcoming MSA re-accreditation in 2024."
The article notes: "In conclusion, NOVA IS strategic planning process follows all three main phases taking into consideration the self-study through SWOT analysis, setting SMART goals for school improvement, and the recommendations for school development provided by the IB accreditation and MSA reports. The mission and vision of this school reflect the objectives of the SMART goals for school improvement from the current strategic plan, articulating the desired direction and core values and beliefs of NOVA International School of Skopje. The designing of the next 5-year strategic plan with the new SMART goals for improvement might result in the further revision of this school's mission and vision, thus emphasizing the importance of competent and dedicated strategic educational leaders like the principal Ms. Bela Gligorova and NOVA IS director, Mr. Ivan Novakovski, with their effective teams."

- That's simply a baseless attack. I routinely improve new pages at NPP as my edit history shows. I also remove PROD tags from notable articles. The vast majority of articles I have taken to AfD have been deleted. Frankly I think you're confused as to what this project is. It's an encyclopedia of notable topics, with well-sourced articles. It's not a webhost. It's not a social media site. Now I will examine the 10 sources you refer to at the article:
- Source 1: A database from Nielsen Audio, simply says "No Winter 2014 data found for WDUQ-FM." Useful for establishing notability?
- Source 2: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) database, a primary source. Source says "Access denied." Useful for establishing notability?
- Source 3: Appears to be a user-generated FCC database search of a construction application. Useful for establishing notability?
- Source 4: Another FCC database entry, simply confirming their call sign. Useful for establishing notability?
- Source 5: Another user generated search from FCC database. Useful for establishing notability?
- Source 6: Another user generated search from FCC database. Useful for establishing notability?
- Source 7: Another user generated search from FCC database. Useful for establishing notability?
- Source 8: Another user generated search from FCC database. Useful for establishing notability?
- Source 9: Invalid URL, appears to be a dictionary entry. Certainly not reliable secondary source. Useful for establishing notability?
- Source 10: Appears to be a blogpost, now dead. Useful for establishing notability?

- I'm sorry you feel that way, but it wasn't an attack, just merely pointing out the obvious. I haven't seen you update a single radio station page, but that's neither here nor there.
- All FCC sources are considered reliable per WP:RS/P. Arbitron updates with the season/year every three months. So change the WI14 to either WI23 or SP24 and you get current information. Source #2 works fine for me. It might be "Access Denied" for those outside of the US. A good alternative (or secondary) is this from FCCData. Source 9 was easily corrected here and correctly sources the sentence "The WDUQ callsign was chosen by owners Kol Ami Havurah because the letters "DUQ" is a form of the Hebrew root דוח or "report"." Source 10, again easily fixed here.
- I found those within a few minutes of searching. I'm not "confused" on what Wikipedia is. I've been here for 18 years, have numerous articles to my name, including GAs and FAs. I have made my !vote and responded to your query. As such, this will be all I have to say on this matter. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 13:27, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm blown away by your argument, especially as you are, as you say, an experienced editor. I'm not suggesting FCC database entries are "unreliable" - I'm simply saying they are primary sources. They do not establish notability. WP:GNG is really clear: "Sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability." Every single radio station in the United States, all 15,377 of them, will have database entries from the FCC. There's at least 15,000 stations in the European Union, too. Are they all notable if they have government database entries? AusLondonder (talk) 13:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of radio stations in West Virginia: Our standards have considerably tightened since 2006, when the inclusion standards in this topic area pretty much amounted in practice to "licensed stations are generally notable". Whether or not that was ever the correct standard is another matter, but in 2024 we go by the GNG, which requires significant coverage in independent sources (and I don't think this is the only topic area where articles based primarily or solely on database entries are being culled). While by no means absolute, LPFMs, as with (but probably moreso than) newer stations in general, tend to be less likely to be able to truly meet the GNG. Unless more sourcing surfaces, an {{R to list entry}} is probably all that's merited here. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:53, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Citation source 9 is patently false, and a proper reliable citation is needed. In the career part of this wiki article it states that "Luca started his career at a tech start-up company called Ring Doorbell, in 2015." I read the Yahoo Finance shows nothing about stating him being involved with starting his career there. And I seen here that in a podcast2] here you claim him saying it, but where is there an article of that being said? No where. [1] This isn't a reliable notable/credible source, you have to read through Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Others like sea.ign "Southeastasia IGN" that is cited under this and the other articles cited in the Wikipedia article are just mentions of him in there mainly talking about his company, just mentions of him included in there. There's no NYTIMES.com cited, no BBC.com cited, no TheGuardian.com cited. Remember, Wikipedia wants things to be true and cited.

I proposed this article for deletion but it was contested due to the sole source in the article having significant coverage. However, my point still stands that the source is about his son and daughter, Jude Law and Natasha Law, more than him, if not then it's just one source. A Google search gives no sources that prove notability to this person, many are about his son. Thus, this article fails WP:SIGCOV.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Here we get a peek into the GNIS process, which actually appears to go back over a century. The post office, everyone seems to agree, was named "Amzi", but GNIS cites a Board of Geog. Names decision which is dated Jan. 12, 1897 in preferring Treadwell. Nonetheless, the name didn't appear on the topos until it was back-added from GNIS, and the latter claims that the source of all its info on the spot comes from ADC maps. I have a lot of experience with the latter (everyone around here used them for street maps before Garmin) and I wouldn't take them as terribly authoritative on this sort of place name— but also, if the name didn't get entered until 1993, what's with the 1897 decision? And where did ADC get the name from?
This leaves us with the 1900-era cyclopedia, which has come up before. It mentions Amzi, but I can't tell whether it also mentions Treadwell, because apparently only the fist volume (A-E) is available online. Again, we have the population figure which doesn't appear to come from the census. Amzi is called a "post-village", which could mean a place that's just a post office. And the authors seem unaware of the BoGN decision. My reading is that this is an area served by a post office, but without evidence that it is a distinct settlement.

- I would like to know why it was “nominated for deletion” because it “isn’t notable” when this is one out of many articles that are similar within the fire department wiki. There is other articles that have barely any text on them that are still up. Second with the sources, they’re all sources that have confirmed information. No news site is telling you how many calls and how much money the agency is making so that’s the point why I used actual factual data for that portion. I also have fixed other sources in the past that heavily relied on Pasco county fire rescue webpage that now redirect to news sites. I’ve put a LOT of time into this, and seen that you nominated it for deletion the same day I finally got it posted even though I’ve fixed what I’ve been been told to fix in the past it’s a little aggravating.

- KEEP - This looks pretty good to me. This is a fairly new editor who has done pretty good this early on. I'm not sure what is wrong with "routine coverage". It's more or less in line with other such articles linked to the Florida fire departments navbox — Maile (talk) 02:27, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- When I first started working on the article, i looked at probably 20 different fire rescue articles on here and a lot of them was missing information, and a few of them even only had just an intro and a very limited infobox, that was it. So I was shocked to see that this one was nominated for deletion with it being more detailed than a lot of the other articles within the fire department navbox. For the annual calls i used the IAFF website as they are the only website listing how many calls there is per year and that’s going to be accurate because it’s from the source. There isn’t no “news articles” stating how many calls they ran in 2023 either, which I wouldn’t expect there to be for any fire department. For the budget I got it straight from the source as well. And I would think this fire department is pretty notable as it’s a fire department in a county that is the second fastest growing county in Florida, at least, according to USA today. Plus when I was working on a draft I was told to not use the Pasco county fire rescue website so I didn’t. I switched all my sources to something else which had the same information and it still got “nominated for deletion”. Your right about me being a new wiki contributor, and I was hoping to be able to create an article that would be informational and accurate and I felt that I did just that.

- KEEP - I strongly advocate for keeping the article. The article is well-written and demonstrates extensive research, supported by credible citations. It provides information that directly benefits a specific niche within our community, enhancing Wikipedia's value as a comprehensive knowledge resource. This article strengthens Wikipedia's mission of sharing reliable information. Furthermore, I believe that overly strict or blind adherence to guidelines can discourage contributions from new editors. Wikipedia thrives on the diversity of perspectives and expertise that new editors bring. A balance between maintaining standards and encouraging participation is essential for Wikipedia's continued growth and excellence. skarz (talk) 15:03, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep as this article has potential to be expanded from its history section. A lot of these articles usually get redirected to their municipality as an ATD but I see there's sufficient sources and it's not a run-of-the-mill fleet inventory list. I would expect a county's fire rescue unit to have a lot of sources from its own government - it's transparency to the people. It wouldn't be hard to get secondary sources from the local newspapers as well which would confirm the same findings and/or get a quote from government officials. I have always wondered about this guideline when it came to city or county government - is that not a Catch 22? It just seems it's at the mercy of secondary sources where you have unchecked synthesis (unless you're familiar with the reliability of the source) but that might be for another discussion. In short, there such be a rational nexus for the guidelines. – The Grid (talk) 18:23, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Pasco County, Florida#Public safety As is painfully standard for this article area lately, an overwritten PR piece with unadulterated promo copy rather than a balanced and critical look at a county fire department, WP:NOTDIRECTORY for the list of stations, which is frankly overdetail that could put the department at risk since its vehicles are detailed down to where they're parked, and worst of all, the article seems to be a skeleton built around three vehicle photographs with visible watermarks as a favor to the nominator's friend, which is incredibly unacceptable and disallowed. I don't know what the original rationale was behind the article, but this feels more like a vanity article that feels more like the article writer trying to rush glory onto the encyclopedia rather than trying to be truly informative. Nate • (chatter) 21:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Would like to give a few words on this, the “down to where they’re parked locations” come from their website so obviously it’s not a safety risk as they are the ones who put it out. If you look at most other fire departments on wiki they all have the same thing. Next if the watermarking is an issue, I could fix that.

If you look at most other fire departments on wiki they all have the same thing. Next if the watermarking is an issue, I could fix that. It isn’t a vanity piece either like your suggesting that it is. It’s just an article on the fire department nothing deeper than that. Ryan Watern (talk) 21:16, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to Pasco County, Florida. The list of fire stations is pure WP:NOTGUIDE fluff, while the rest of the article is easily mergeable. SounderBruce 06:20, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- And yet, Wkikpedia has Category:Fire departments of the United States by state — Maile (talk) 11:27, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Why would the article be merged when there’s a whole wiki category for it. With that logic merge all articles within Category:Fire departments of the United States by state to their county Ryan Watern (talk) 11:49, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Maile66 and Ryan Watern1, the notion that an article should be kept because there is a category it could fit into is ludicrous. Condider Category: Dentists. We have several hundred articles about notable dentists in that category. But there are over 200,000 dentists now active in the United States, and presumably millions worldwide. It would be ridiculous and unsustainable to have millions of Wikipedia biographies of run-of-the-mill dentists. The same standard applies to dentists as to fire departments. An article is justified only when the topic is the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources that are entirely independent of the topic. That is literally the only thing that matters. The New York City Fire Department clearly meets that standard. Most fire departments don't. Cullen328 (talk) 04:03, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- After taking a look at the New York fire department article, there is various sources in there that link to the department page, the same argument that’s been brought up here is happening there as well. Wouldn’t consider that article completely independent. I’ve yet to find a fire department article that is completely independent that doesn’t have a single link to the department page. Ryan Watern (talk) 04:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ryan Watern1, once the notabilty of a topic is well-established, then limited use of the subject's website is acceptable according to WP:ABOUTSELF. I am not asserting that the NYFD article is perfect. It is B Class, after all, and has not passed a Good article or Featured article review. But no sane person with the slightest understanding about how Wikipedia works would argue that the NYFD is not notable. And notability is the issue here, not the quality of any given article.

- Which is why I linked the category here. As long as the subcategories by state exist, what you are dealing with here is just one user's POV. One editor likes it one way, and the next editor likes it another way. Such is Wikipedia.

- Keep, with the caveat that the big table at the end has to go. It's bulky and goes into excessive detail. It is clear beyond that, however, that we have articles for other fire departments, so why not this one? People, I you are actually worried about article spam, go police corporations or BLP articles. This is more than fine compared to the stuff on there. Allan Nonymous (talk) 20:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

- Re the table, you are correct, Ryan Watern. I did a random check from Category:Fire departments of the United States by state, and most I found have such a table. So, there is a standard already established for the table to be in the article. — Maile (talk) 00:12, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

- Comment It should be known for the closing admin that the nominator is systemically clearing a lot of the fire department articles as redirects based on lack of notability. They are bold actions but they seem excessive when notability can always be established for tagged articles regardless of time frame because there's no deadline. I bring their GAR of Briarcliff Manor Fire Department, where they object a good-rated article and ponder if it should be sent to AfD as their good article review? I have never heard of such a thing except if it was a hoax. This is insane with the sourcing provided. This is the complete opposite of WP:HEYMANN. I question what you even think is a good fire department article. – The Grid (talk) 18:56, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- The Grid, I have noticed it. Apocheir has been doing that to a lot of articles. As far as I can tell, there are not necessarily always discussions to go along with the action. And there seem to be a lot of focus on stand-alone articles such as this. Somebody does all the work to get a nice article like this one, and somebody else comes along and on their own redirects it. We really need a separate open discussion about this issue. Would anyone care to open such a discussion at WP:ANI? I think it's very important to clear the air on this, and get a general consensus.

- Thank you. I have commented over there. I think it's important to establish a guideline for this. — Maile (talk) 11:58, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- There already is a very clear guideline, Maile66, and it is Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). So, those who want to keep this article ought to explain how this specific fire department meets that particular notability guideline. Cullen328 (talk) 16:49, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm in agreement with @Cullen328 -- I read through this and have not seen a cogent argument layed-out as to why this subject meets the notability guidelines sufficiently. There is argument about how "this article should be ok because there are other similar articles that haven't been deleteds" -- I don't believe that is how this works. In fact, I see that most of the other articles about Florida fire departments also have warning flags about notability. Wikipedia is not a list of everything in the universe. Likewise, Wikipedia:Ignore all rules does not get around the notability requirement, and a phonebook is useful, but Wikipedia cannot be turned into one.
- The notability qualifications need to be clearly spelled out here by those who wish to retain the article, or else this just resembles a popularity contest. The argument that "someone spent a lot of time putting the article together and we don't want that to go to waste" is likewise not relevant to whether the article meets the minimum qualifications to be present and maintained.WmLawson (talk) 00:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

- My question is how does this pertain to government departments? NCORP lists everything except governmental departments. Is it wrong to assume you're going to find a good percentage of information from the municipality as a primary source? – The Grid (talk) 19:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Right now, this is No consensus between editors arguing that sources are sufficient and the article should be Kept and editors advocating Merge/Redirect seemingly on the basis of how similar articles have been handled and because of perceived "fluff". As for NCORP, it's unclear, government agencies aren't included in the list of subjects that this policy covers but they are also not included in the list of exceptions either.

- Thanks for the great summary of the discussion, @Liz. Making a mental note here because I'm sure my discussion is more about the policy and not to get away from the main point of this AfD. It's always made me wonder with presenting the case for government departments when it comes to primary sources.
- WP:PRIMARY states Primary sources may or may not be independent sources. but also
- policy criteria number 5 notes Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them..
- WP:PRIMARY states Primary sources may or may not be independent sources. but also
- That's where I imagine you have secondary sources come in to reverify statements. WP:NCORP states the importance of secondary sources from the established notability (WP:ORGCRITE):
- A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
- The ultimate question for government departments: is it ok for these entities to have a lot of primary sources? (given WP:SNYTH, also this does not require a response) – The Grid (talk) 15:09, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

The scope of this guideline covers all groups of people organized together for a purpose with the exception of non-profit educational institutions, religions or sects, and sports teams.
Please note that the guideline applies very broadly, except for three specific carve-outs. None of those three apply in this case. Cullen328 (talk) 05:08, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Article has been updated on 28th of March addressing a lot of concerns. The table is now collapsible for the reader which will free up space in the article for those that don’t want to see a large table within the stations and apparatus section. Those who do want to see all the information on the stations and apparatus will have the option to see it. Various new sources were added, most of them from news stations that reported on the agency. And some new sourced information was added to the article as well. Ryan Watern (talk) 05:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. The non-independent and primary sources in the article are good for verification but do not help to establish notability. I'm not immediately seeing how any single source meets NCORP WP:SIRS primary criteria because those in the article are either not independent WP:ORGIND and/or do not amount to indepth coverage WP:ORGDEPTH of the organisation as a whole. Nor do the sources meet the alternative guideline in WP:NGO because the organisation's scope is not national or international. That leaves the GNG. What's needed is at least one feature length article independently written and published about the organisation. It could be that such an article will soon be written looking back over the organisation's history given that its 50th anniversary is this year; but at this juncture one hasn't been sourced. The news coverage is mainly about new fire stations, which could perhaps be more usefully employed within the article on the place where the fire station is located. Instead of having one long table covering all the fire stations, add a paragraph under a public services heading e.g. for Fire station no. 12 include some detail in Holiday, Florida — this way the sources found and information presented is not 'wasted' as they might be with a partial merge of the content to the Pasco County article should that be the outcome here.

- Currently, every one of the 18 series listed at Metal Hero Series has an article; even if nothing significant were found this should end up as a redirect to that article rather than a delete. I haven't looked carefully, but the Japanese Wikipedia article has 102 footnotes and 17 book references listed. As a nationally broadcast show with 50 episodes that was also released in several foreign languages (Chinese, Tagalog, Indonesian, Thai), this seems likely to be notable. In general I still don't believe that the drive to delete nationally televised series from Japan is productive (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joker: Yurusarezaru Sōsakan, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rasen (TV series), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kekkon Dekinai Otoko, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kagerō no Tsuji: Inemuri Iwane Edo Zōshi, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Love of My Life (Japanese TV series) from this editor).

I don't see a large amount of coverage linking the two (unlike for example women's association football and high levels of ACL injuries, which do seem to get a lot of mainstream coverage like [45]), and so this isn't a topic that needs to exist on Wikipedia.
