- I'd expect a six-time national champion to have coverage, though unfortunately I don't think there's any digitized Bermudian news archive. It seems he later became a lawyer, see here ("He also thanked his father, Alex Cooper, himself a respected lawyer and a sailor who represented Bermuda in the Olympics. He described his father as a 'humble, fun-loving person' although he added that those who knew him from being on his sailing crew might use different adjectives") and here ("Katherine Freisenbruch and Alex Cooper will spend two years learning the practical aspects of the profession during four 'seats' in different practice areas within the firm before 'graduating' as solicitors in September 2020. They are likely to be the first of several Bermudians to receive training at Kennedys, with the international firm having invited Bermudian law students to apply for London-based training contracts starting September 2019 and September 2020").

The result was no consensus with no prejudice to an immediate renomination. There is both numerical and strength-of-argument disagreement below regarding whether the sources are good enough or not. If anyone wishes to renominate this at AfD, I'd encourage providing a source assessment table for each source, assessing it versus our standards. Daniel (talk) 22:58, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

WP:SIRS requires that sources establishing notability need to be "completely independent of the article subject" and reliable. I could only find pro-Venezuelan-government sources about this organization. I find it dubious whether these sources establish notability, therefore I am nominating this for deletion.

- Keep There does seem to be some decent coverage in books. I'll have a more thorough look later. I'm unsure how and on what basis you can characterise particular media sources as "pro-Venezuelan-government". What media sources which are "anti-Venezuelan-government" and are they acceptable to establish notability? AusLondonder (talk) 16:51, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- As for the Google Books results, it seems most are either citations of VSC, or trivial mentions. That was my first glance on the search results, but I do not deny there may be books that provide substantial coverage.
- By "pro-Venezuelan-government", I meant, for example, Venezuelanalysis and the Liberation News of Party for Socialism and Liberation or other party-affiliated sites. I do not mean that all "pro-Venezuelan-government" do not establish notability – I expressed myself poorly. I doubt that specific sources establish notability because of their partisanness, with SIRS mandating absolute independence from the subject. I am no expert on notability, I could be mistaken. Janhrach (talk) 17:16, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- On the second glance, these mentioned sources do not seem to indicate notability for other, more sound reasons, so my remark about them is kind-of moot. Janhrach (talk) 12:53, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Lacks independent and reliable sources that establish its notability. Most sources referenced, such as Venezuelanalysis or Liberation News, are clearly partisan and closely tied to political ideologies that align with the subject, which undermines their neutrality. IMHO, organizations that engage in propaganda should be approached with circumspection, as their primary function is to distort reality to serve specific interests. Wilfredor (talk) 09:00, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- You may disagree politically with the group but describing them as engaging in propaganda is rather misleading. Irrespective of that, the motives of an organisation do not negate otherwise credible claims to notability. You have also failed to acknowledge the other sources, including books, providing coverage.

- Delete – Unconvinced by the policy-based defences so far. If we put political opinions aside, this group has only trivial mentions in reliable sources, which does not satisfy WP:RS. There are many groups worldwide that support the Bolivarian Revolution and the current government of Venezuela. What makes this particular group notable? Perhaps a reliable source that significantly covers the group would be able to answer this question, but so far nobody has provided such a source. Yue🌙 21:33, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

- I see the sources that have been provided, but if the coverage in those sources were enough, then almost every political organisation in the world with more than a hundred supporters would have an article on Wikipedia. Where is the significant coverage by reliable sources establishing notability? Where are the sources outside of unreliable ones that themselves are part of the campaign or reliable ones that mention the campaign beyond criticisms and to establish the background of subjects who are the actual focus of the articles?

Unsourced stub about a minor Italian river. Sources seem to exist either as trivial mentions or database entries with name and coordinates, as described as failing wp:NATFEAT. I can maybe see a merge into Reno (river), but that article is also essentially unreferenced. Lenny Marks (talk) 20:57, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Note: I have also nominated the following article: Limentra orientale (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) as a bundled nomination, as it is was creted by the same Wikipedian and is essentially in the same exact circumstances as this article, but is about a different tributary of the same river.

- Delete The sources here are not sufficient to support notability. The first one is pretty good - the two "Limentras" are described in some detail. It comes out of a local government for a very small inhabited place (1500 pop.). The second one is an entry in a compendium of geographical facts; it could be used to support facts, but not notability. The third (bologna.online) is brief and has only one sentence on this waterway. The fourth is only a mention in an article on domestic water usage. I note that there is nothing relating to geography in the Province of Pistoia article. This could be a good place to include not only these two waterways but other geographical features. Lamona (talk) 04:16, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I think both articles meet the guideline WP:NATFEAT now, quote Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. There is clearly more information available (and used in the articles) than statistics and coordinates. I invited WT:RIVERS for comments. Markussep Talk 07:42, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- I am wondering if these rivers, as tributaries in a larger system, can usefully be merged somewhere. I would say merge if plausible, otherwise keep. BD2412 T 03:39, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Merge with Reno (river): both this and Limentra orientale, where as tributaries they no longer require independent notability, and make for a more sensible, complete entry for those looking it up. Owen× ☎ 13:08, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. I see a pass of WP:NATFEAT, since the sourcing provides information beyond mere statistics and coordinates. Worth noting that Lake Suviana, which impounds the Limentra orientale, is also notable, suggesting that this river is of sufficient size not to warrant a merger of its article.

(which Mr Venezuela is, being part of international pageants selections, btw) let alone aboutlike the oscars
(why not the Nobel prizes to put the bar even higher?), and that "long-established consensus", although it might indeed exist, should not prevail over the current guideline in my opinion. Thank you all the same. NB-You might want to change the guideline and indicate that limitation if such a consensus really exists and is indeed accepted by a majority of users. I certainly would oppose such a change myself, so please ping me if you start such a discussion about it, thanks. (I do not think, anyway, that Mr Universe nor Mr Venezuela can be called "celebrity awards", not in a derogative way at least.) I'll therefore stand by my !vote, if I may. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:53, 27 September 2024 (UTC)- I know what the guideline says but you dont understand the different classes of awards and what they are actually worth, and what folk strive and crave for. Its not this. Its right down the list of significance and that is consensus. Indeed your !vote is your !vote, but this has all be discussed beforehand, years ago. If you have WP:THREE sources, please post them up. Also its worth noting an award isn't generally sufficient on its own, unless its a really good award, likely a decent medal for example. If was a good award, its a good indication the person is notable. If was a good award and there was no coverage, I wouldn't have sent to Afd. I would have spent time trying to update it and add sources. Hope that helps. scope_creepTalk 21:14, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

WP:NOTDICT inapplicable as the sourcing goes way beyond basic definition/usage, and it simply passes WP:NEO.

- Speedy keep. Many more RS are commenting on this term, so it now easily passes GNG. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:24, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep:
- This article extends well beyond a dictionary entry and so WP:NOTDICT is not a reason for deletion. For example, it covers analysis of the practice of sanewashing, not just the word (RS: The Atlantic, MSNBC), and the impact of sanewashing on journalism (RS: Poynter, NPR).
- This same RS coverage (plus others in the article) show that the concept of sanewashing passes WP:GNG in its own right.
- WP:NEO is not a reason for deletion, as it states: "To support an article about a particular term or concept, we must cite what reliable secondary sources say about the term or concept, not just sources that use the term (see use–mention distinction)." The above sources and others are discussing the history of the term (RS: Columbia Journalism Review), its place amongst other neologisms like greenwashing (RS: Poynter), the distinction between it and other terms like paraphrasing (RS: The Week), not simply using it. This suggests WP:WORDISSUBJECT.

- The first SMH article is mostly quoting or attributing statements to IC. This is not WP:SIGCOV "addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth" as required by WP:NCORP.
- The second SMH article mentions them in passing three times. There is no SIGCOV "addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth".
- I can't access The Australian article, because it's behind a paywall. No comment there.
- The Knews article is about IC Markets (EU) Ltd which is registered in Cyprus, so not sure it is completely relevant to this article as this is about an Australian entity. That aside this isn't really SIGCIV "addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth".
- The ABC article looks fine. I'm not seeing enough here, but then I can't see the Australian article. TarnishedPathtalk 09:59, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

- Actually, all of the articles suggested by me (except for the Sock puppets and Lifeline ads: Welcome to the wild world of copy trading by SMH) meet WP:SIGCOV.

Vgbyp (talk) 09:45, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- The question we need to consider is whether they meet GNG/WP:NCORP criteria for establishing notability, not whether you think they are SIGCOV compliant. We require in-depth WP:NCORP "Independent Content" WP:ORGIND *about* the *company*. The "Fake Margin Calls" articles has no in-depth information about the company other than generic information such as where there HQ is located. Repeating what the company told its customers, quotes, etc, is not "Independent Content". The article about the company getting fined is based on a press release for a total of 7 sentences, none of which provide any in-depth information. The first source about the class action simply regurgitates court documents and is not "Independent Content" and the other source is also not Independent Content as it relies on commentary from the lawfirm filing the case.

- @Alpha3031, thanks for that. Given what is covered in that article I don't see that it adds to the notability of the company taking into the requirements of WP:NCORP. Simply that the company be addressed directly and in-depth by independent sources. A lot of the article is quotes from either the company or from lawyers investigating initiating a class action against the company (i.e., not independent). What is left over is not the company being addressed directly and in-depth. TarnishedPathtalk 03:36, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. TarnishedPath has provided an analsys of the sourcing above, none of which meets GNG/NCORP criteria. HighKing++ 15:55, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

This article -- a biography of a businessman who fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO -- has now been twice recreated. (Its first creation was by a now-indeffed editor; its second creation after a PROD was by the current page creator, who requested speedy deletion under G7 after I nominated it for deletion.) The sources are all WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS in the context of his company or WP:PRIMARYSOURCES; there's no WP:SIGCOV in reliable, independent sources. This version includes a claim in the infobox that he was a member of the Spanish Congress of Deputies. Interestingly, none of the sources verify that, and he does not appear in Wikipedia's list of members of the 12th_Congress_of_Deputies. To combination of his names appears on the Congress's website, nor do any other links on on the web confirm this statement. Even Pereiro Lage's own webpage makes no reference to being a deputy. (If anyone can provide reliable source evidence that he was indeed a member of the Deputies I will withdraw this nomination under WP:NPOL. Until then, there's still no evidence of notability.)

Weak deleteor simply repurpose the section "Squirrel Capital" into Vértice 360 or Squirrel Media, as the distribution arm is arguably notable (it could be perhaps more informative if it were structured in terms of the history of Vértice 360 and its predecessors, and not in terms of the history of Squirrel Capital, though).

I don’t understand why this page exists. Every other vice presidential candidate selection article pertains to the party’s presumptive nominee, and in 1980 Jimmy Carter comfortably won the Democratic nomination again there was no selection process for his running mate with VP Walter Mondale being selected again. This article primarily pertains to Ted Kennedy’s selection of a running mate, who was not his party’s presumptive nominee. Most of this information is already covered in Ted Kennedy 1980 presidential campaign. Essentially, the Democratic Party in 1980 was Carter, not Kennedy.

Keep. Notable as the mayor of a city of regional prominence (fifth biggest in Ireland), and having received coverage in national media (see my second comment here), which seems to be reasonable enough grounds to have an article per WP:POLOUTCOMES. It appears to have been a thing for donkey's years that mayors of Galway get their own article even if they don't serve at a higher office; see Donal Lyons, Terry O'Flaherty, Pádraig Conneely, Tom Costello (politician), Val Hanley, Martin Quinn (mayor) and so on. Though if this discussion finds Cubbard to be non-notable, there may need to be AfDs for all of these.ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 12:10, 5 October 2024 (UTC)- Local politicians including councillors and mayors need to demonstrate they meet WP:NBASIC.

AusLondonder (talk) 06:56, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

- Just a further disclaimer since it's seemingly not clear; my argument is NOT that other stuff exists. It's per WP:POLOUTCOMES, which explicitly has a section on mayors of cities of regional prominence, which this person is, and asks that they say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville", which this article does. (And yes, before it's pointed out to me that this isn't a policy, I am aware.) My listing of similar articles is me explaining why I created the article, which was on the presumption that the mayors of Galway (as a city of regional prominence) were notable for having held the office. If Cubbard is judged to be non-notable by this discussion, then I'll list the rest for deletion so this doesn't end up happening again. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 12:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

- Delete since there is no notability attached to the position per se and arguments to the contrary on the basis of similar justifications used for other articles, are simply, explicitly unacceptable. If there were sources supporting independent notability about the person, it'd be otherwise; but there are not. -The Gnome (talk)
- Sorry to keep writing messages but I'm putting this below since I realised I didn't cover it in my original vote; here's some coverage of Cubbard as Mayor of Galway in national media. Irish Independent covering him forgoing using poster, Newstalk covering him stepping down from the role following personal abuse, Irish Examiner covering similar, Irish Independent covering personalised abuse he received in a separate incident (though this is more of an edge case since it also discusses Clodagh Higgins).
There is coverage in reliable sources that in my view goes beyond WP:MILL, especially considering the rarity of a mayor stepping down temporarily during their term due to this. My vote remains a keep.ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 12:30, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry to busting the bubble again: Candidate enters the news cycle (in the Irish Independent) on the sole basis that he decided not to use election posters. Really? A proof of fame? Then he makes the news again (in NewsTalk & Irish Examiner) because he resigns! Something that's routinely reported for every public official who takes exits the job. Then, finally, a report, in the Independent, not about our subject at all but about the "abuse" allegedly suffered by Galway city councilors online. Well, dig until next year, we will excavate no foundational excuse for a stand-alone article. -The Gnome (talk) 20:23, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- There's no need to take that condescending tone, I'm just trying to post the coverage I've found. Not every politician (let alone candidate) receives this kind of coverage regarding the posters. And re the Newstalk and Examiner articles it wasn't about him resigning but "stepping back", which isn't something that happens to every public official, let alone due to highly publicised personal abuse covered in multiple sources.
This in my eyes meets WP:SIGCOV, as it's coverage specifically about him in multiple national news outlets.If you disagree, that's all well and good, but you can do so without getting snarky about it. ser!

- Changing my vote to Delete. I've done some looking back on past AfDs for county councillors and honestly, I've changed my mind. The coverage that I've talked about doesn't seem to be enough based on prior precedent - similar articles have been deleted because the coverage was seen as WP:MILL, and even that coverage was more than three articles discussing any given councillor in national media. The only reason I created the article was because I was under the belief the mayoralty of Galway was a notable position, which seemingly is not the case, and the articles I mentioned above all seem to have been created by the same user. Apologies for the rigmarole. Additionally, I would not oppose a Redirect to List of mayors of Galway, which may be an easier solution for this and the remaining non-notable mayors than deletion. ser!

- Comment: As the initial proposer, I thought I should comment before it’s closed, though I can see it’s moving towards a consensus in any case. I came across Cubbard while working on a specific task of marking incumbent TDs in constituency pages, and wondered how he’d got an article. While true that he is a former mayor of Ireland’s fourth largest city, so might seem to be covered by a WP:POLOUTCOMES exception, that is a global standard, and probably applies more in the case of mayors with a personal mandate, like the Mayor of Limerick, than the rotating chair of most Irish mayors. That said, and it may be my regional bias, I would not advocate deletion of a Lord Mayor of Dublin, even though their mandate is similar, given that they do get a decent amount of comparative coverage, and they are first citizen of our capital.

Club, USA Today and The New York Times, in addition to two less prestigious but still entirely reliable sources from three years ago (ephemeral indeed), we still haven't gotten around to updating it for all the other reliable-source reporting that's emerged. There's still The Wall Street Journal to add [6]PQ, and El País [7], and Complex [8], and maybe this Slate podcast [9] (haven't listened yet). These add both missing facts and important analysis about the social implications of the search and its resolution. I'll be sure to add them all in when I next have time to expand this.I can't find any coverage in People magazine, though. I guess they avoid covering the same things as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 17:15, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

The article notes:
The line is from Hildy Brooks' play "The Day the Rabbi Lied." The thought is from the Talmud.
...Brooks' one-woman show is the story of a woman named Sippie, an actress in Los Angeles who has been called in to substitute-teach a class on Jewish Spirituality -- this one about the ritual of lighting Sabbath candles.
...
Brooks (and her character, Sippie) became interested in studying Judaism after accepting the role of a Hasidic rabbi's wife in a movie. Mere research became something more, including a search for her father, a man who kept his faith private -- even from his own family.
Brooks performance is matter-of-fact: She's a smart actress, and so she allows the emotion to come from the story she is telling, and she doesn't push it. In fact, she becomes less dramatic in appearance as the show progresses -- she makes her entrance in heels, a swingy, short skirt and a to-die-for patterned velvet jacket, then changes into a long skirt, flats and a head scarf -- what an Orthodox Jewish woman would wear for modesty's sake.

The article notes:
A veces en teatro lo que importa no son tanto las palabras, sino esos mágicos momentos de vida que se pueden crear en escena, y Reunion in Praguetiene muchos de ellos, elaborados con transparencia por el director Jack Betts y los actores Hildy Brooks y Jim Antonio.
...
Hildy Brooks merece especial atención no sólo por su valorable interpretación, sino porque es la autora de la obra y a la vez es ella la misma actriz cuya vida se replantea en el paso de su correspondencia a la escena.
Su labor, sustentada por la ternura que transita a través de todo el texto, choca a veces con el dilema —para un actor— de representarse a sí mismo, y si bien se la ve por momentos actuar sólo con desenvoltura, como en casa, es capaz de lograr hondura emocional en los mejores momentos de la pieza, convirtiéndolos en escenas clave.

The article notes:
Actress Hildy Brooks and her husband-actor, Jim Antonio, have put a new twist on art imitating life.
Antonio is playing the part of Brooks' one-time lover, Czech sculptor Olbram Zoubek, in her play about their decades-long, long-distance relationship.
...
Brooks wrote the one act "Reunion in Prague," about her brief 1967 meeting in Prague with Zoubek while she was on a movie shoot in his sculpture garden, and their ensuing 25-year relationship. Over the years they exchanged romantic letters and artwork as they shared their views on art and philosophy in a relationship that spanned America's politically turbulent 1960s and the rise and fall of communism in the former Czechoslovakia.
Antonio knew about the relationship and even encouraged his wife to return to Prague to catch up in person with Zoubek. Brooks described the brief reunion as disappointing in her play.

The potential stars of television are seen again and again. They pop up in a nurse's uniform on one show and perhaps an hour later as a fallen female in a murder mystery.

Hilda Brawner is a name largely unknown in television. Yet this talented young lady has been starred in such shows as the DuPont Show of the Week, The Defenders, Naked City and a dozen others. When I ask her how it feels to be a TV star, she remarked, "I'll let you know when I become one. And that won't be through TV."

I believe there is scope for an article with the issues regarding football rioting in the Bulkan states. However I am unsure about how much depth there is between Albania vs North Macedonia at international and club level football. This topic rivalry is a viable topic in my opinion. Govvy (talk) 13:32, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- It is a content fork from the articles Anti-Albanian sentiment, Albania–North Macedonia relations and the Macedonian football teams' articles. I think the rivalries can be covered in their respective football teams' articles and some already are, I think. There are always problems but not every problem is notable to include. This is covered by WP:NOTNEWS too. Either way there is no source currently that discusses the rivalry between teams from Albania and North Macedonia. StephenMacky1 (talk) 14:10, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

- Delete content fork. We have a load on the page about relations between the two governments and the situation regarding people of Albanian ethnicity in Macedonia. Then we have a bit about violence between ethnic Macedonian and ethnic Albanian fans in Macedonian domestic football. This is like saying that anti-Irish bigotry in the Old Firm game is part of a Scotland v Republic of Ireland football rivalry, or that antisemitic elements of Feyenoord v Ajax represent a rivalry between the Netherlands and Israel.. And then, right at the end, we have the only competitive meetings between these teams in 2018 World Cup qualification.

- Delete, but weak keep for 135? - Wasn't a fan when these articles started being created, especially with some very low-quality images, and I observed the user wasn't listening to any of my suggestions. The history related to these routes just aren't as in-depth as, say, London Buses route 1, and it feels like they've been made just to make up the numbers. Would have put in the AfD myself but was weary of upsetting the applecart.
- Having given rewriting the route 135 article a good shot, though, I think if more well-sourced notability besides the use of bendy buses (bit of a rarity in NW England) can be established, consider potentially retaining the 135 article. Wouldn't be too upset if that didn't turn up anything, however. Hullian111 (talk) 09:35, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep for now - appreciate it's frustrating when people create poorly sourced articles but there may be enough sourcing for some of these articles to meet WP:GNG. A reminder to article creator @TL9027 there are many bus route articles on Wikipedia so they can be notable, but we do need better sources than just timetables.
- Often branded routes/airport routes are easier to write about. For example, Skyline 199 has [14] and [15]. Garuda3 (talk) 12:53, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

- @Garuda3 I don't see how transportdesigned.com (source 1) could be useable as it looks like a blog (or a marketing/communications company). The other source does look good though, thank you for the comment :D Justiyaya 15:47, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

- Why not adding Greater Manchester bus route 43? Since it has similar status with your nominated articles. Plus , it seems that you just want to get rid of bus route articles JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THEM as Garuda3 says. In your logic, ALL bus route articles in Wiki should be deleted. TL9027 (talk) 21:02, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Come on now, you can't just defend your articles by linking to Google searches that link back to the nominated articles and claiming that makes them notable. Its the equivalent of, say, claiming my 57 is notable because it appears in Google. Please remain civil about it.
- You are right about the 43, though, I can't say that's got as much notability as, say, the 192 - former tramway route which experienced a bus war between Stagecoach and UK North. I'll defend the 135 but that's where I draw the line, because there just isn't anything that significant for those routes to warrant their own articles. Hullian111 (talk) 22:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Route 216 was also a former tramway route, having similar history as the 192, also have the potential to be kept. For the 8, the past usage of bendy buses during First's era like the 135 may also make the article notable. TL9027 (talk) 23:51, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- @TL9027: I've not looked at many of the other articles, but a quick glance at the 216 article shows many glaring errors. Consider its History section: Cooperation should be Corporation; the Ashton services mostly didn't go from tram to motor bus but from tram to trolleybus - and the 216 was one of these; Greater Manchester buses didn't exist in the 1950s, it was not created until April 1974 - and then it was branded Greater Manchester Transport, become GM Buses in the mid-1980s.
an express service, the 216x
- Manchester Corporation didn't use the "X" suffix to denote an express service, but a service that was not running the full length of the route - so the 216X observed all the 216 stops as far as Edge Lane, Clayton (the Manchester/Droylsden boundary), where it turned back.The trolleybuses lived until the 1980s, services are replaced by conventional buses till now.
- what nonsense, the last Manchester trolleybuses ran on 30 December 1966. The grammar is also extremely poor, it's sometimes difficult to discern the intended meaning. Ref [1] doesn't support the preceding text at all. If the others are this bad, it might be better to delete and start afresh with some decently reliable sources. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:08, 5 October 2024 (UTC)- @Redrose64, can you provide your sources here?

While this is certainly a policy debate in Australia, I'm struggling to see how the debate itself is suitable for a standalone Wikipedia article. The article is currently a collection of back-and-forth quotes from politicians and seems to be focused on politicians' views rather than the substantive topic of Palestinian immigration to Australia and/or Palestinian refugees in Australia, which are covered elsewhere.

- Comment there are quite a few sources for this person but from my quick overview it's not really helping their case for notability. I'll try to dig a little deeper and see if I can find something. They did publish a book which got me excited but it was self-published and the first review I found was from a newswire. Dr vulpes (Talk) 04:28, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, a search finds the usual fluff on social media but per Dr vulpes nothing much that would establish notability. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:42, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. Her sole claim to notability so far is her film Supercilious, which was nominated for a notable award. The only coverage I can find of her in reliable sources is passing mentions of her name in connection with that film's nomination, and tame interviews (like the Sheen Magazine source cited), neither of which really pull her over the line for WP:NCREATIVE. My cleanup of the unsourced puffery was a bit of a battle with the paid creator, and though I did manage to find her inclusion in a list in Success magazine, as that WP article notes, it's not the magazine it was since its change of ownership in 2007.

I believe the article is useful
- and I believe it is not in its present form. AfDs are decided on policy and guidelines, rather than personal feelings. Do you have a substantive argument as to why the very limited information here could not be accommodated in the Pinaroo railway line article, especially since half of the article being discussed here is just repeating information from there in the first place? If there are other barebones stubs on rural train stations that fail GNG, then they should be merged, redirected, or deleted as well. Just because every article that potentially could be AfD'd hasn't been doesn't mean that this particular article should not be (and doing them all at once would be bad).

A quick Google search of the guy in the news section shows sporadic coverage from various Colombian news websites over the years, and most of the articles I've looked at (both English and translated from Spanish) don't address the criteria at WP:CREATIVE. A good reason for deletion can be provided through WP:INHERITORG: he is a man who has worked for notable businesses and organizations but does not inherit notability from said businesses and (from my observations) lacks WP:SUSTAINED coverage of his actions or life.
