Wikipedia is not a price comparison website. The article admits the list is necessarily incomplete, and the pricing data could change routinely which suggests this isn't encyclopedic in nature. ZimZalaBim talk 23:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. There really is not much to these relations. There's a small historical interaction. No embassies, agreements, state visits. Level of trade is very small. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs doesn't say much [1] LibStar (talk) 22:43, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Seems to be pretty much a non-subject. Two of the four sources cited are the same web page, which mainly says that neither country has an ambassador for the other. Maproom (talk) 23:12, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no indication that relations between these two countries are anything special or warranting a dedicated article. If anything the lengthy list of external sources suggests a stronger connection between Portugal and Sao Tome and Principe - I don't see Turkey mentioned in the titles. The treaties mentioned in the article were signed between dozens of countries, and the treaty articles don't highlight anything specifically about Turkey and Sao Tome and Principe, so no special sign of notability. The Jewish diaspora to the Ottoman Empire during the Inquisition could be mentioned in other articles, if necessary. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 23:38, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Minor League Baseball players who committed suicide (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

That's one bizarre topic for a list: somehow, major leaguers are excluded from the scope so we're left with little-known baseball players that (rightfully) don't have an article on Wikipedia. The source [2] is used quite a bit on Wikipedia so on one hand I'm tempted to assume that it is considered reliable but on the other hand, looking through the site, a lot of its content is newspaper clippings which is useful for us but doesn't really say much about the site's reliability. Pichpich (talk) 22:44, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd question the relevance of that list too. It's a pretty arbitrary intersection. Something like List of boxers who committed suicide would make a bit of sense because of research showing potential links between suicide risk and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. There's no evidence that playing baseball and dying by suicide are in any way related so List of baseball players who committed suicide is as irrelevant as List of architects who committed suicide and List of baseball players who died in a car crash.

Usage model (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article is premature; its creator translated it from a German page, and later nominated it for speedy deletion on the grounds that it should wait until others had a chance to write about the subject in secondary sources, as currently (2017) it was novel, and secondary sources had not had a chance. The German article was subsequently deleted, and with no offence to our German colleagues, standards of notability tend to be higher here, so it is dubious here too. Most of what I can find that quotes the current primary literature sources is written by the author of the primary literature, self-citing, and I'm not convinced that this has evolved into something notable. But it's outside my field, so I accept I may be completely wrong. Elemimele (talk) 13:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A follow-up: so far as I can make out, the German article was written by JudithHill describing recent work/ideas published by a colleague at the university of Wuppertal, and immediately translated by her for the English Wikipedia. It was almost immediately deleted from German WP on the grounds similar to TOSOON, and to do JudithHill justice, she fully endorsed this decision, supporting the German deletion. I see it as an accident that the simultaneous deletion of the English version got forgotten. I don't think the concepts that her colleague, Sigmund Schimanski, developed have become sufficiently notable for an English article, though it's hard to tell from simple Googling as the phrase is so non-specific. A new German article hasn't been written, so presumably either JudithHill is no longer interested, or feels she has too much COI to write it. Elemimele (talk) 07:06, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - this seems to be based on a small number (3, if I've counted correctly) of recent articles by one person. It isn't clear to me if this "usage model" is really a thing or not, but I agree with the TOOSOON determination. Lamona (talk) 03:30, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Leaving aside the claims about the corresponding de.wiki article, the only usage of usage model seems to be by one research team in three articles. This does not demonstrate that the term has entered scholarly discourse. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 21:59, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. In researching this I was saddened to find that Gene Ward Smith had passed away in early 2021 before vaccines became available. He's the mathematician, music theorist, and fellow UC Berkeley grad who coined the term, among others. Looks like his page[3] and that of the Brahms Gang[4] used to be here but fell short of the notability bar, so what chance does this obscure piece of microtonal nomenclature have? There's a passing mention in Weber's book "How Complexity Shapes the World" but not WP:SIGCOV. Hoping others can find more than I was. BBQboffin (talk) 03:25, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am neutral, filing as closer of this RfD, where I found consensus to revert Rosguill's BLAR of 22 January 2020 and send to AfD instead. Rosguill's BLAR rationale was

to which AFreshStart objected on the basis that Sandrembi Chaisra is not mentioned there.

  • Keep but clean up. It was quite correct that this was sent here instead of surreptitiously deleted-by-redirect, but (1) AfD is not clean-up, and (2) things should be deleted if it is likely that there will be no sources, or if they are so, so dreadful that an absolutely fresh start is necessary. In this case sources are likely to be available (based on its presence in [5] and [6]), and although the article is in dire need of good writing, it's not totally irredeemable. The character-list, info-box and popular-culture sections are a good start; what it really needs is a comprehensible, coherent plot-summary and some better referencing.

  • Comment would a transwiki from the simple wikipedia version suffice? --Lenticel (talk) 12:48, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Import from Simple English Wikipedia. It will still need to be cleaned up (and the story section pared down, I think), but it's much better than our current version, and with MUCH better sources.-- Aervanath (talk) 16:32, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, unless someone writes it up from scratch. The article has serious sourcing and comprehensibility issues, and it was written by a sockfarm known for POV. The article on simple wiki seems in a much better shape, but it was written by the same sockpuppets after they got blocked here, so this means: 1) if the article is imported it will be eligible for WP:G5 speedy deletion, 2) the doubts around sourcing and neutrality will remain. If the topic is notable (and that's what we're supposed to be finding out here), then we're better off creating the article from scratch. – Uanfala (talk) 17:04, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    the simple version might have been written by a sock, but it's a decent article; we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot if we deleted it because of its authorship. We have the right to delete the products of socks, but not the obligation. If anyone doubts its neutrality, we have tags for that sort of thing. Elemimele (talk) 21:40, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course. But the relevant point here is not that the article was created by a sock, the point is that it was created by a sock with content issues. If another wikipedian is willing to take ownership of that article – if they're willing to check for copyright violations and then examine the sources to see if it doesn't misrepresent them in some subtle way – then absolutely, let's import it here. But it's not enough if it just looks "decent". – Uanfala (talk) 22:12, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 20:58, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you've assessed current sourcing, but not all available sourcing. Searching "Elephants Delicatessen" at the Oregonian archives from 1987 to present at the Multnomah County Library yields 183 results. Searching the "historical" database for 1861 to 1987 yields an additional 97 returns. Also, quite a few things to add from Google Books. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:59, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: Another Believer, it looks like you've written about 75% of this article. The AfD process is here to evaluate the article that exists, or perhaps the article as it is improved during the process. Sure, if there are available sources that could tip the scales to "clearly notable" that should influence whether an AfD is filed, or failing that, should influence how it's improved to assure a "keep" outcome. But I'm not clear on how a general finding of hundreds of sources, without any evaluation of which, if any, are relevant or useful, contributes to the AfD process. Are you planning to use this information to make substantial improvements to the article during the AfD? Or do you see potential in one or two of the sources to make such improvements, but lack the time to do it yourself in the short term? A hint of what these sources say to you might be helpful here. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 22:40, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate what you're saying/requesting here, but actually AfD is not only for evaluating the current article. WP:BEFORE asks editors to search for sourcing not in the current article prior to nominating an article for deletion. Perhaps the nominator did so, but I too have done some digging and I disagree with their assessment for the reasons noted above. Honestly?, I don't plan on dropping what I'm working on just to rescue this entry. My life goes on just fine if Elephants Deli doesn't have a Wikipedia article. But, I've written enough of these entries to know there's plenty to use to create a quality Wikipedia entry. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:29, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Most Wikipedians don't have access to the Oregonian archives. I do, I looked at a random sample (the most recent of the 183 articles in that archive from each of the decades mentioned) and none was pertinent to the present discussion. Finding a high quality source takes work, and if you feel that more such work is needed, but you are unwilling to do it, to me that sounds like you're leaning toward "delete." (For myself, I don't really have an opinion about whether or not there are enough sources there as of now.) -Pete Forsyth (talk) 23:08, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: I may not enter a !vote here, but I want to point out several flaws in Curb Safe Charmer's assessment of sources above. The Portland Business Journal is a serious newspaper with strong editorial standards; the presence of quotes from the company's personnel in no way undermines the independence of its coverage. See here for a detailed look at PBJ's editorial practices. Willamette Week is also a serious publication, and its "Best Of..." series is not sponsored content; I do not see that term on the page, and I suspect you may have seen it associated with an ad that ran on the page, rather than referring to the page itself. Oregon Business is also a serious publication, and the article specifically enumerates the methodology of the survey, something that non-journalistic surveys generally do not do; the ability of a company to enter a survey no more corrupts the survey itself than my ability to self-nominate an article for GA or FA undermines the integrity of the GA or FA process. The fact that the Business Journal disclosed that it had not fact-checked company disclosures is a point in favor of its methodology (transparency to readers); if Elephants declared that it had 280 employees at that time, the lack of a rigorous fact-check does not suggest that the number might be completely outlandish. The prevalence of mistaken assumptions about these sources suggests either a lack of familiarity with the field of journalism and its standards, or possibly an agenda of some kind. So this chart, which should be a useful tool for taking a sober look at the sources used, in this instance seems unhelpful for making a decision about this particular article. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 22:25, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for weighing in here as well, Pete. I am going to step away from this discussion and let others contribute, but I have problems with some of the contents of the nominator's table as well. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:34, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

      The article notes: "According to Jim Dixon, the reformed food writer-turned-specialty foods guru at Northeast Portland’s Real Good Food, there just “wasn’t much else” in Portland when Elephants hit the scene. “It’s not like today when you can go into Whole Foods or New Seasons or even Fred Meyer and find interesting cheeses,” Dixon said. “You might find an aged white cheddar from Tillamook.

      The article notes: "I was never particularly taken with the old location of Elephants Delicatessen. It always felt cramped, and while I admired the food, it was strictly a place to grab and go, not sit and enjoy. That changed last month, when the shop moved three blocks east into the enormous digs vacated last year by Il Fornaio restaurant. Now, Elephants feels like a glorious Parisian market, the sort of place where you might sit and enjoy a light meal before dashing off to an afternoon at the Louvre."

      The book notes: "Elephants Delicatessen has been in business since 1979, and like a good elephant, it's been slowly growing for many years as a PDX catering and food and drink depot. What sets Elephants apart is its ready-make selection. The Northwest Elephants is the largest location by far, with the most diverse offerings. In fact, the Northwest Elephants usually feels like a food festival taste pavilion."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Elephants Delicatessen to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Unsourced TV series article. Non-notable. scope_creepTalk 14:11, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I don't speak Polish so can't speak to the quality of the sources, but just wanted to flag that the main page for this show links to season-specific pages for most of the series, so if the consensus is that this page isn't notable, presumably all the similar ones could also be deleted or merged into the main page. --CameronVictoria (talk) 15:58, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I appreciate one shouldn't be parochial, but I can't see any point in having an article with the Polish name as its title. Presumably anyone who can understand the article's title can also read the Polish WP's article on the subject, and anyone who cannot, will have no idea what the article is about anyway, which renders it utterly pointless to our English-speaking readers. Given that the natural language of English WP is English, it should at least be moved to an English-titled article (e.g. Your face sounds familiar (Season 15) (Polish TV show)), unless it is commonly known in the English-speaking sphere by its Polish name; and if moving it renders it meaningless, it probably isn't notable. Elemimele (talk) 18:51, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Each of the previous seasons has its own article, and most of them have only a single reference. So there is no rationale for deleting this one that doesn't apply to all the others. Whether they SHOULD have independent articles, and whether it is appropriate to have a Polish title for them, can be discussed elsewhere, probably at the parent article. -- MelanieN (talk) 20:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It should apply all the others. It not acceptable for articles not to have references. The standard to pass Afd is WP:THREE. This article doesn't meet that. It does have one reference. Every part of it should be referenced. It is more than a question of fairness. A lot of these folks don't seem to want to put references in. They would rather copy the content from the source, like as happened here and leave as is. That is unacceptable in 2022. Saying they have a single reference doesn't escape the problem. The article was redirected twice, by different editor's and this editor, who has talk page full red warnings, edit warred to bring it and doesn't communicate. I'll get the rest of them in. scope_creepTalk 11:39, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A previous AfD for this band was closed a few hours ago as "no consensus" because the nominator kept changing his/her mind and seems unfamiliar with the consensus process. The closing admin said No prejudice against speedy renomination so here it is. I voted to delete this band the first time, for the following reason. Despite a long career and many albums, it appears that significant and reliable coverage has eluded this band. They have a bare-bones listing at AllMusic but none of the albums have staff reviews. They get occasional unreliable blog reviews (e.g. [7], [8]) but even those are rare. Beyond that I can only find some basic retail listings, even when searching for the band's name in conjunction with the founding members' names. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:02, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Heim was a competitor in the 1936 Olympics. We source this to an exhaustive source.

The best I found is this which simply confirms that he was on the Swiss field hockey team that finished seventh out of nine teams competing at the 1928 Olympics.

The song is not notable per WP:NSONGS. Although charting is suggested as one of the factors that may make a song notable, this needs to come in addition to coverage from reliable sources about the song as an independent body of work. Some coverage could be taken from the album's page but there is not enough prose to warrant this. ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 12:42, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Sdkb: the first, from dallasnews.com, is from the publisher of Neighborsgo, so it doesn't work here. The third, from SNPA, is the first article republished. The only real source there is the D Magazine, but even that hardly counts as significant coverage. – Broccoli & Coffee (Oh hai) 05:22, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Oops, I should've caught that the SNPA was republishing. On the first source, I disagree. It's a reported article by their business reporter, not a press release. It's clearly therefore behind their editorial firewall, the entire purpose of which is to ensure independence. The Dallas Morning News is a legacy newspaper that we can trust to maintain that separation.
    That said, even if it ends up clearing the GNG bar, there's clearly not that much to say about it, so I'm fine with turning it into a redirect to The Dallas Morning News and maybe adding a sentence about it there. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 05:30, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Both take the form of examples that are on the border of the WP:100 words threshold, so they don't move me away from a redirect stance. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 05:40, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The only reference in the article is to another Wiki type website about the places architecture and I couldn't find anything else about it when I did a WP:BEFORE. Also the article about it in Arabic isn't any better. So I doubt this passes the notability guidelines. Maybe someone can find references I missed when I looked though. The rather ambiguous name really doesn't help things. Adamant1 (talk) 04:03, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not just the above French chapter and English book (for a Brazilian architect working in Algeria), but also e.g. a complete Italian book[44]? Countless sources, just for the architecture. Probably some sources for its actual function as a university as well. Fram (talk) 17:23, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If all people can find are references about the building and architect instead of the university itself then create an article for the building. That doesn't mean the university is inherently notable just because one building on the campus or the guy who built it is. Hell, there could literally be a short mention of the building in the Oscar Niemeyer article. It's massively stupid to have a two sentence article about a university that's just on a building and nothing about the actual university though. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:28, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What part of me saying that I did a WP:BEFORE makes you think I didn't look for sources? As far as your references that supposedly talk about it's activities, the first one doesn't have anything to do with the university. Let alone does it discuss it directly and in-depth. The second one barely does, a university adding programs is extremely WP:MILL. Woho they got 1,000 new students. You could find the same coverage for any university out there. The third and forth aren't any better. It should go without saying that my comment about how there should be information about the university in the article didn't mean adding trivial, run of the mill nonsense to it like the attendance increasing by 1,000 students in 2015. I've seen you make pretty reasonable and guideline based arguments in other AfDs. It shouldn't be that hard for you to do the same thing here. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:41, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it isn't notable for being an university and thus getting attention for the things a university does. It also isn't notable for being widely, extensively discussed for its architecture. What next will you dismiss? If it only has the things a university has, then that doesn't count. If it does have an additional notable aspect (its architecture), then that should get a separate article and doesn't count towards notability for the university. Uh, no thanks, I won't play that game. Fram (talk) 09:10, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I never said the university isn't notable for doing "things a university does." I said the references you provided don't show the university is notable because they are trivial, not in-depth, and otherwise WP:MILL. I'm sure you know the difference and what those terms mean. In the meantime I'd hardly say the university is "widely, and extensively discussed for its architecture" when the only thing being discussed about it is the auditorium and there isn't even wide or extensive discussion about that. For instance your wallpaper.com source is literally a single sentence. In no way what-so-ever is a single sentence an extensive, wide discussion. I find it extremely hard to believe that you genuinely think it is. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:43, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
(multiple edit conflicts, please make up your mind about what you want to write) The Wallpaper source is a reference for their being a full book about the architecture; the book is the important bit, the wallpaper source is just to show that it is not some amateur photography project but a notable book (hence my "as reviewed by..."). An earlier exposition of the same photos was also reviewed in the NY Times and in e.g. The Independent or Designweek. Oh, and The Architects journal as well... Fram (talk) 09:58, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I'm aware the book is a photo book of Oscar Niemeyer's architectural work, of which the auditorium is one of many things he's built. The book is not about the auditorium though and I doubt it covers the auditorium in any kind of meaningful detail beyond a couple of photos. Much like the references you keep providing that don't actually discuss the auditorium in any meaningful way. So is there a notability guideline for buildings that says they are notable if there's a picture of them in a photo book? Or should we just say the auditorium is notable because there's a few one sentence mentions of it that for some bizarre reason you think are "wide, extensive discussions"? --Adamant1 (talk) 10:19, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Go back to my first post here perhaps, where I provided the extensive discussions of his work on this university? The photo book is just another indication of the notability of this university as a piece of architecture, and the book and exposition received a lot of coverage (from mainstream press, architecture press, ...). You seem to be willfully misinterpreting things here, which is tiring. Are you seriously still debating whether the university architecture by Oscar Niemeyer is notable, or what? Fram (talk) 10:33, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What exactly have I willfully misinterpreted? I could really care if the auditorium is notable or not. I just don't think the single sentence articles you've cited shows that it is. Let alone does that have anything to with the notability of the university itself. Even if the auditorium is notable you haven't given a reason why the auditorium being notable makes the university notable or why keeping the article would be the best option compared to the other ones I've suggested. I'm sure you'd agree that a two sentence article about a university building isn't optimal. Even if I buy that the photo book indicates the notability of the university we can't just copy the images from it and call it good there. Sure there's the 15 page chapter in the book, but realistically we aren't going to squeeze enough content out of it to justify keeping the article instead of just mentioning the building somewhere else. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:18, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So a 15 page chapter isn't sufficient to write more than 2 sentences, a book which doesn't only have photos but also "further research into Niemeyer's Algerian work in order to explore the revolutionary politics that inspired and formed these buildings." isn't useful because despite the book being notable (but the evidence of this you mockingly reject), it contains pictures we can't use, and the other sources are not acceptable because they don't go into what makes this university more notable than a run of the mill one. You also mistakenly seem to insist that Niemeyer only built one building there, which (even though it still would be sufficient) is false, see e.g. here or here for more info. Oh, this book has two pages about "Oscar Niemeyer. The University of Constantine: Modern Kasbah of Higher Education" as well. Yeah, clearly something that only is worth "just mentioning somewhere else". I think I'm done with this quite ridiculous conversation. Fram (talk) 11:42, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When did I mockingly reject the book with the 15 page chapter? I'm pretty sure my last message is the only time I've brought it up and I didn't mock it anywhere in my message. As far as me supposedly insisting that Niemeyer only built the one building, from what I saw the articles about the picture book only mentioned the auditorium and that's what I was discussing. Obviously I'm not going to discuss buildings that the references I'm referring to had nothing to do with. In the meantime I couldn't access the book with the 15 page chapter. So I'm not going to act like I know what buildings it discusses or have a conversation about hypothetical buildings that I haven't read anything about. Get real. Your obviously just looking for things to act upset about. Maybe cut the fake performative nonsense next time. It really didn't add anything to this discussion. --Adamant1 (talk) 12:41, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you are the one who started talking about "massively stupid" and then e.g. completely rejected this source as "the first one doesn't have anything to do with the university.", even though it starts of with "Les activités scientifiques à l’Université des Frères Mentouri" and discusses an international conference organised at and by the University, and new courses given by the university in conjunction with it? Have you even looked at that article? You then dismissed the second source[45] as "extremely WP:MILL" and "trivial, run of the mill nonsense": you then focus on one line (congrats, you at least looked at the article), ignoring the other info in it, e.g. about the "ville universitiare" which had been built (39,000 beds, 28,000 classroom places (growing to 40,000). And yes, "So is there a notability guideline for buildings that says they are notable if there's a picture of them in a photo book? Or should we just say the auditorium is notable because there's a few one sentence mentions of it that for some bizarre reason you think are "wide, extensive discussions"?" is mockingly rejecting sources based on false pretenses. Your participation in this AfD really has been very disappointing on all accounts. Speaking of performative nonsense, you state "Sure there's the 15 page chapter in the book, but realistically we aren't going to squeeze enough content out of it to justify keeping the article instead of just mentioning the building somewhere else." but now admit that you haven't been able to see the chapter at all, which didn't stop you from commenting on it. Fram (talk) 13:28, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I never said the references were stupid. The whole "we have traditionally kept all genuine degree-awarding universities. Plus easily enough material around to satisfy WP:GNG." is what's stupid. Necrothesp repeatedly cuts and pastes some form of "schools are inherently notable and there's ton of refences for this one that I'm not going not provide but claim exist" in every AfD for a school they vote in. Outside of that, sure I commented on the 15 page book to make a general statement about it, but general statements are just that, general. I don't have to know the exact words of the book to have an opinion about if we can use it to create a well written article. There isn't a world where synthesizing the material in the book would be a one to one, 15 page recreation of it either. Not even a 7.5 page, 5 page, or 3 page one. And it would be perfectly fine to have a two paragraph section about this in another article. I don't need to know how many times the book uses the word "is" to make that determination either. Your just looking for extremely minor things to take issue with for some reason. So I'm done with the discussion. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:42, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
(ec, of course) No matter what Necrothesp may do wrong in other AfDs, in this case they actually added a source to the article, so they did more than just claim. And you may not have said the references were stupid, but you called them nonsense and having an article based on them stupid. That you know out of hand that a 15 page article can not be the basis for a 3 page article without even seeing the original article, with some irrelevant statement about the prevalence of the word "is" in it, doesn't really give your whole reasoning here much credibility. But then again, you dismiss the book because it only has photo's, even though that isn't true at all, you dismiss newspaper sources because they include a mention of the increase in number of students, disregarding the remainder of the information, you reject a source because it isn't about the university, even though it very clearly is, you maintain for way too long the false belief that they only designed the one building, without anything to actually base this on, you confuse again and again sources added to show that the photobook about the university architecture is an important book with sources about the University itself, and so on. The problem isn't that you don't "need" to know anything, the problem is that you don't "want" to know anything that contradicts your initial impression which started this AfD. Getting an AfD wrong isn't a problem, many of my AfDs don't end in deletion: scrutinizing sources also isn't a problem, and pointing out "actual" issues with them: even pointing out why the !votes by some people should be disregarded isn't a problem, if you at least make sure that your argument to do so is correct. But continuing with all of these in the face of all evidence that you are wrong is a problem. Fram (talk) 17:01, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You really like to move the bar don't you? If I had of known this is how you would respond to me suggesting an alternative to deletion I probably would have kept the suggestion to myself. I defiantly didn't think that you would flip out over it like you have. Lesson learned. The weird thing about it is that I agreed with you about the 15 page article and that we could probably turn it into a few paragraphs. I also agreed with a couple of points you made, like that the auditorium isn't the only part of the university he built. Plus merging it to another article wasn't in my original nomination. But sure dude, I don't want to know anything that contradicts the initial impression that started the AfD. Whatever. Have fun boxing ghosts. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:53, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

insufficient evidence for notability o this law firm.

  • Delete insufficient coverage for establishing notability, indicates lack of notability. Brayan ocaner (talk) 22:05, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect, but with "Troutman Pepper" being the title of the article (so I guess merge with Troutman Sanders). I don't know how familiar y'all are with law firms, but Troutman Pepper is pretty well up there. Most of the really noteworthy events described in reliable sources will have been under the name Troutman Sanders, that is true. It should be common sense to simply continue the article with information on its post-merger operations, especially since the firm kept the Troutman name. RexSueciae (talk) 01:44, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
On reflection, I am changing my vote to Keep. It was pointed out to me that both Troutman Sanders and Pepper Hamilton, the predecessor firms to Troutman Pepper, have wiki articles. The article for Pepper Hamilton contains the following line about the post-merger law firm: "The combined firm has 1,100 attorneys, making it the largest purely American law firm and one of the 50 largest law firms in the world." That characteristic all but guarantees notability at *some* point. Yes, Troutman Pepper is new, and hasn't had that much coverage of its activities thus far. Even so, I can find right off the bat multiple news articles about them. You'll need a subscription to law.com but it's clear that the legal press thinks that Troutman Pepper is notable; the firm has received coverage in multiple reliable sources. Consider also that Bloomberg Law, one of the premier legal research platforms, published this commentary article from several Troutman Pepper attorneys (two partners and two associates) weighing in on the activities of state attorneys general. Would they do that if Troutman Pepper were not a reputable law firm? Finally, consider AboveTheLaw (the TMZ of the legal industry, with about the same reputation, although it does tend to have its finger on the pulse of things), which has multiple articles tagged Troutman Pepper, including some promising news stories on the law firm awarding bonuses to its attorneys. tl;dr it's notable, it's got sources, and sure as anything it's gonna have more sources in the near future.

Non notable film with no major cast members. Fails WP:NFILM with no reviews from notable publications as well as WP:N due to the paucity of other references. Has been made by a single purpose editor whose name also indicates conflict of interest Jupitus Smart 07:33, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am unsure how this is considered well sourced. For your reference we consider only references from notable publications while evaluating notability, and a list of such publications can be found at WP:ICTFFAQ. The quality of the references already on the page are listed below
  • [46] has 1 small line which says the lead actor won a best debutant actor award. The award is not notable and as with a lot of awards in Kerala, it is quite evident that award was bought by the actor, with the organisers adding that many films were not considered as they were not submitted. Also WP:NOTINHERITED applies here.
  • [47] is 6 lines in a small press release type article from Times of India. Also to be noted here is that the banner is Kautilya Films which is also the name of the editor who created this Wikipedia article.
  • [48] is a listing of theatres in Thrissur and the movies that they were showing on a particular day. Unsure if this adds any value to the article apart from indicating that the movie was released in a run down theatre while the other biggies occupied the bigger theatres.
  • [49] is a listing of theatres in Thrissur as above
  • [50] is dead
  • [51] is a press release
  • [52] is just a listing of the movie
  • [53] is also dead
  • [54] is also dead

WP:NFILM requires 2 reviews from major publications. I was unable to find any review - from sources which are reliable or even from those considered unreliable. Also with 22 IMDB ratings [55] it is quite evident that the movie did not get a wide release which would have made it notable, or even worthy of reviewing by publications. Delete it should be. Jupitus Smart 16:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - first, WP:NFILM does not require reviews but rather lists the existence of film reviews as possible evidence of notability. Secondly, dead links could be retrieved using archives - it doesn't mean that sources do not exist, it requires clean up. Your claim that IMDb ratings indicate the kind of release a movie received is not based on any factual information. Also, notoability of films does not derive from how big their release was. As for the user who created the film article being named just as the production company - it still remains in the form of a speculation, which I personally do believe too but can't prove, nor does it matter as far as the film's notability is concerned anyway. ShahidTalk2me 13:57, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Shshshsh: Two reviews are actually required when it does not meet WP:GNG or if it does not meet any of the other requirements at WP:NFILM. Please indicate how this meets WP:GNG from the quality of references as discussed above. Also it is quite evident from the URL of the deadlinks that they are nothing more than picture galleries which also does not impart any notability - meaning finding archives also won't be very useful. I was not using the IMDB ratings as a metric of notability, but merely implying that the lack of coverage in reliable sources, which is a required metric for us, is a reason why nobody has watched this movie. I would also request you to indicate why notability is met, instead of harping that notability is met without any factual basis. You may choose to ignore the conflict of interest provided you can indicate notability is met, in which case cleanup would suffice, but in the absence of coverage in reliable sources this does not meet the requirements to remain. Jupitus Smart 14:41, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Let's agree to disagree. :) If the community decides to delete it, so be it. My entire perception of Wikipedia, especially in regard to which articles should stay and which shouldn't, is different, I guess. I always improve Indian cinema-based articles which are up for deletion, and I would do with this film, which I know nothing about, too, if I had more time. ShahidTalk2me 15:06, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I believe we both are inclusionists as I noticed in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Umma (1960 film) and in some other discussions. I am also happy that someone is actually believing in the need for protecting Malayalam movie articles and would have been more glad if you had showed up earlier when some of the classic oldies were deleted (Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gajakesariyogam among others). But this movie is not one among those which is why I have nominated this for deletion. I might also nominate the lead Riaz M. T. which is also probably made by the same syndicate. Happy editing. Jupitus Smart 01:54, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Lacks reliable reviews for NFILM and no indication of meeting GNG. Considering the film is from 2014, its not unreasonable to expect a couple of reviews to show up online. However, offline sources may exist. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:43, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • A no vote to delete/merge from me. This is not 'just' the second part of "It's Such a Beautiful Day". This was an animated short film that was released theatrically in 2008 and received multiple awards and praise as a standalone piece. It was not edited into the feature film version of the longer story ("It's Such a Beautiful Day") until 2012. For that matter, the proposal to delete and merge the page for "Everything Will Be OK", the first film, is also a mistake. "Everything Will Be OK" was a standalone animated short film that was shortlisted for an Academy Award in 2007 and won the Grand Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. These were originally released as individual short films, viewed by audiences for years that way, and should remain listed here as such. Also, my apologies if I'm not using this interface correctly!

  • Comment. Sequels can be notable tool. The claim "The film won 27 film festival awards" is worth considering, but I note the "failed verification" tag. Right now the article passes notability based on unverified claims, so the question is, will someone claim said claims are fake or exaggerated? If not, I'd lean towards keeping this while retaining/adding copyediting templates, some of which are already present. This may be the case of a notable topic, poorly referenced - but I didn't bother doing my own BEFORE this time (hence, no vote, just comment). Ping me if more sources are found (or their lack becomes more apparent) if you'd like me to vote one way or another. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:13, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Virtually no coverage of this company in WP:RS and most cited works are routine business actions. The International Business Times citation is the product of a Forbes list indicating commercial success but not significance. Other references are either trade press, press releases, or articles about other companies. Searches turn up little to no mainstream news coverage of this company despite it being around for 30 years. FalconK (talk) 09:28, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I agree that the Webby and the PGA Tour sponsorship really contribute to notability here. The company seems to have mostly kept its head down after the Webby, so the only thing to say is they won the award. These kinds of awards generally hint at the existence of notable things, but "developed a really good healthcare app for a hospital" isn't exactly notable. And they seem to have bought a APGA Tour sponsorship - again, that's really all there is to say about that. So that's how we get to this article, which is the same kind of size and milestones information that can be written about almost any company indistinctly. To back up notability, we're left with the recent change in lobbyists (a single event) and a Forbes profile of the founders. This company keeps such a low profile that, even though it has some of the things that notable companies have, it has a weak to nonexistent claim to notability on its own. FalconK (talk) 22:37, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I contributed to this article via edit requests, and as of this discussion, outside of the quarterly earnings reports in the New York Times and a few mentions in Google Scholar articles/interviews ([61], [62] and [63]), I have not been able to find additional coverage that would warrant a strong keep per WP:SIGCOV, but there is enough for a weak keep.

The subject is notable to an extent. The Insider Monkey article is not a reliable source. The Forbes page is an indicator that it may be worthy of inclusion, but generally, editorial articles with SIGCOV are more useful to establish notability. And the Black Enterprise is also a similar indicator and was not cited in the page before the AfD nom. The page should remain, in my opinion. Multi7001 (talk) 01:17, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The keep arguments are very weak on policy based rationales. I considered draftifying so the style issues can be dealt with, but there is no point in doing that if it still can't get past NPROF. If someone can turn turn up some publications that get sufficient citations to stand a chance of satisfying those who argued the subject's citation rate is too low, then I would be willing to restore as a draft. If not, it would be a wasted effort. SpinningSpark 17:05, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete or at most draftify to remove the puffery an other signs of coi writing, and then reconsider. The notability is borderline. Scientists are judged by the importance of their best work, that's whats influential . There's no point looking at how many unimportant papers someone did--unimportant is unimportant. His citations are 246, 146, 111..... In many fields I would considee that notable ,but not in biomedicine . Particularly telling is that the only paper with over 200 cites is from 2000, when he was still a post-doc. That's not independent work; it was coauthored with his advisor, Bert Sakmann Comments like A professor in a known university show lack of knowledge of WP that's pretty much the definition of INDISCRIMINATE.

It says "several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates".

You left out the part where the Feminist Studies journal article was published 2 years after the incident in your mistaken interpretation of BLP1E. Enduring independent coverage. You also have a mistaken understanding of what secondary vs. primary means in dismissing the Newsweek article as an interview. Reporters are allowed to interview people to write a story. This wasn't a transcript of a q&a here. Arguing that it's the same is dishonest. Morbidthoughts (talk) 20:01, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Sufficient sources meet WP:GNG. Definitely not WP:BLP1E as she has coverage for more than the single event. Reliable sources exist. Fieari (talk) 04:10, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per WP:GNG, fn3, It is common for multiple newspapers or journals to publish the same story, sometimes with minor alterations or different headlines, but one story does not constitute multiple works, so the initial independent news coverage about the library incident (i.e. not churnalism, and not information directly from her, e.g. as in tabloid-style clickbait publications such as post-2013 WP:NEWSWEEK) does not contribute much to notability. And per reliable sources, she was a WP:VICTIM because her video was uploaded to multiple websites without her consent, so the article should exist only if consistent with Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Subjects notable only for one event, [she] had a large role within a well-documented historic event. The historic significance is indicated by persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote significant attention to the individual's role. The available sources do not show the event is "well-documented" or "historic", and her inclusion in two and a half paragraphs at the beginning of a Feminist Media Studies article is not enough to support "historic significance", while later tabloid-style promotional coverage helps emphasize the lack of historic significance. Beccaynr (talk) 20:51, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The video was uploaded by a stranger without consent yet she consented to start a career in pornography after that. If she was a random person, it just would not be the same story. I mean, she still calls herself KSLibraryGirl. Trillfendi (talk) 21:08, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But WP:ENTERTAINER notability also does not appear supported - the criteria that may have applied, i.e. the "cult" following, has been deprecated. Feminist Media Studies comments, "the case of Kendra Sunderland is also recognizable as an increasingly ordinary narrative about working on the edges of mainstream cultural industries," so there does not appear to be objective support for unique or innovative contributions. This article reminds me of a concept I attribute to DGG, which is essentially when insufficient independent and reliable support for notability exists, we are typically left with promotional content, and based on the type and quality of the sources, this appears to apply here. Beccaynr (talk) 21:37, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's something else I often say, that in some forms of entertainment, there can be very little difference between promotional and non-promotional content. The manner of ever good descriptive writing is not always distinguishable. If we completely eliminated promotional content in some subfields of entertainment we'd have no articles on current performers. I've withdrawn my delete--I'm undecided.

non-notable, non-female non-minority ([82]) former baseball player who played in one MLB game with no birthday, no deathday, no batting stance and no throwing stance. The only indicator of notability I could find was an entry in The Rank and File of 19th Century Major League Baseball: Biographies of 1,084 Players, Owners, Managers and Umpires, which is not enough to establish notability on its own. Because he is mentioned as having a minor-league career in The Rank and File, I searched Newspapers.com for additional information, but nothing came up. Therapyisgood (talk) 15:15, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Well, yes. There are likely a number of sub-stubs on 19th century baseball players with a near-to-complete lack of information, sourced or otherwise, and applying the GNG to those articles (as NSPORTS criteria agree is applicable) would result in their deletion or redirection to appropriate list articles.

  • Comment. I really want to vote "keep" here, but I'm unable to find anything beyond what's already reported here. The excerpt from the Nemec book is really a summary of the game and I can't call it in-depth coverage of Dwyer. I could maybe be persuaded that the first item cited by Penale is at the outer edge of SIGCOV but the second item is a pure Q&A and is from the same newspaper --- either way, that's only one source (the Free Press) and GNG asks us for SIGCOV in "multiple" reliable sources. Also, the article's been around for 12 years so it's hard to say that there hasn't been adequate time to search for SIGCOV. The only other option would be an "IAR" vote, and I might go there if I had better evidence of an extensive career. In this case, I can't bring myself to go there. Redirecting or merging to 1882 Cleveland Blues season would definitely be better than deleting. As for the nominating rationale, I can't find any sources referring to Dwyer's race/ethnicity and suggest that piece is unnecessary and should be omitted from future noms. Cbl62 (talk) 01:24, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I re-read the Nemec excerpt and it does detail to some degree his minor league career, so it could be argued that it is at the outer, outer edge of SIGCOV, and it does come from a highly respected authority in David Nemec. Count me as neutral. Cbl62 (talk) 01:30, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the season page per WP:PAGEDECIDE. That we can verify that during this team's season, a player played one bad game, got hounded by the press, and quit, is exactly the kind of interesting information that should be in the article about the season. There's little reason to put it on a separate page though. Levivich 04:43, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Wikipedia is WP:NOTPAPER, I don't see any problems in keeping this as a separate article. Deleting "non-notable, non-female non-minority" is not the way to solve biases, the focus should instead be on writing new articles about women, minorities, etc. Also, appears to pass NBASE. NemesisAT (talk) 10:23, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No substantive coverage about this person. Just a mere database entry for a single appearance is obscenely insufficient for notability. NBASE is a presumption of notability, but that is apparently not upheld with actual sources. Why would there be for a single appearance in 1882??? The professionalism and coverage of baseball today that would make this guess true (which includes working one's way up through university and minor league play) does not apply then. Reywas92Talk 14:25, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I agree with others that the coverage found of him is routine and/or not secondary/independent, and therefore does not meet GNG. As NSPORT requires GNG be met, arguments that NBASE suffices are incorrect. If someone wants to find sources for him he can be listed at the baseball project. JoelleJay (talk) 18:20, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meets NBASE as a major league player. I think Penale52 has discovered enough sources to meet GNG as well. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 02:54, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Editorofthewiki Which independent secondary sources do you think bring him to GNG? The three I looked at were the brief write-up in an encyclopedia that gives every "19th c. player, major owner, manager, league official, and regular umpire" a biography; a few lines in a routine game report; and a shallow interview (not usable for notability as it's primary and non-independent). JoelleJay (talk) 04:04, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think that is sufficient. Even if every 19th century player got a write-up in the book, that does not discount it as a source. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 15:14, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    And that still doesn't make it the multiple pieces of SIGCOV required by GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 21:50, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to 1882 Cleveland Blues season. Even with the sources from Penale52, there isn't enough significant coverage for there to be an encyclopedic article on this person. His seasonal stats from the only season he played are the only substantial facts we know about him, and those can be sufficiently covered in the season article.

  • Keep per WP:NBASE. I do not accept the claim that passing a subject notability guideline is not sufficient, otherwise all those guidelines would be otiose. Stifle (talk) 15:25, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Stifle, he doesn't actually pass a subject notability guideline. NSPORT is the SNG, and it says GNG is necessary to merit an article and that all subguidelines on its page merely predict which subjects might meet GNG (see the 1st and 3rd sentences in the lead; the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th sentences in the Applicable policies section; the 1st and 2nd sentences of SPORTCRIT; and FAQs #1, 2, and 5). NSPORT isn't supposed to be used as an alternative conduit to notability, but rather as a collection of rules-of-thumb that focuses editors on the athletes most likely to have received SIGCOV. JoelleJay (talk) 17:06, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The "keep" opinions, while in the majority, make weak (or no) arguments: there is broad community consensus that all article topics must have substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources (WP:GNG). Only one "keep" opinion even cites a source, and it is not even really about this topic, but about a subtopic ("exchange stations").

Strong keep: The reason you are finding so few references is because most online sources erroneously place these species in the genus Alcmena, which is a permanently invalid junior homonym (see [85] for proof). For one glaring example, see [86]. Just because some online sources are erroneous does not oblige Wikipedia to propagate these errors. Dalytra does definitively exist - see the reference linked in the article itself, and also [87], [88] - and is the oldest available name for the permanently unavailable Alcmena.

Alcmena Stål, 1859 should not be accepted by anyone; that is an error, since Koch's name is available and has seniority.

  • Comment - The 1976 Olympics would have been covered in paper newspapers and magazines at the time, which are unlikely to be searchable online via google. I have no access to a public library at this time (and particularly not a british one) where I could do a proper search. Could someone check in my stead? Fieari (talk) 03:56, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply are you suggesting that because the 1976 Olympics itself is notable, then therefore this one participant is? Or are you suggesting that editors should research news coverage from the time to find out if this individual is notable in said coverage? Because if it's the latter...then this is a Delete until that research bears fruit, not a reason to keep this article in hope such research happens. -Markeer 04:18, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, the latter. I would prefer not to delete potentially notable things without verifying that they lack notability. The only issue for me is that I currently physically lack access to the place where I could check if this person is notable or not. If a library search shows that no contemporary articles were written about her, then yes, of course delete, I am in no way suggesting inheritability of notability. If you pushed me for a !vote though... I don't think it's harmful to wait until it can be checked. I see no reason to prefer deletion over keeping in unknown situations. If we know someone to be non-notable, delete. If we know someone to be notable, keep. But if we don't know either way, as in this case... I'd rather commit error to keep than error to delete. Fieari (talk) 04:24, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Fieari: If "we don't know either way", that means that we've been unable to establish notability. The article currently consists of a sparse 15 words ("Hazel Hutcheon ... is a British alpine skier. She competed in two events at the 1976 Winter Olympics."). If SIGCOV is later discovered, the article can be re-created and nothing of any real substance has been lost. Cbl62 (talk) 04:29, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm more coming from the perspective that overcoming systemic WP:BIAS is valuable for the encyclopedia. Articles that require offline sources... that is to say, smaller yet still notable events/people prior to the 90s... are systemically biased against on wikipedia, because it takes more work to correct. A stub can encourage research. Lack of a stub can fall into a memory hole to be forgotten forever. Fieari (talk) 04:33, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A red link can also encourage research, and I believe I read a study that suggested that it was more effective at doing so than a stub. Regardless, WP:MUSTBESOURCES applies, and any !vote solely on that basis should be discounted. BilledMammal (talk) 04:43, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Newspapers.com does include some English newspapers, and all I find are passing mentions during the Olympics. See, e.g., here ("Hazel Hutcheon was eliminated in the first round ...") and here ("Hazel Hutcheon, 16 in August, is the youngest of a notably young group, and indeed the youngest on the team."). This does not rise to the level of depth required by WP:SIGCOV. Cbl62 (talk) 04:57, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • The first source consists of two mentions of her in the captions of photos, and a mention that she held a Women's Ski title - it doesn't constitute significant coverage.

  • Merge/redirect to List of British alpine skiers, or delete. Not finding any significant coverage; British Newspaper Archive reveals nothing more than what has been found by others already – all mentions of her are merely name-drops or passing mentions in routine sports reporting of the day. There is no valid ATD here since no suitable merge/redirect target (e.g. List of British alpine skiers) exists; she is only name-dropped in existing articles (which were obviously not the only events she ever competed in, and probably not what she's most known for – presumably that would be her British title) and significant information, in this case regarding her British combined title, cannot be added without it being undue – an appropriate list would resolve this. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:03, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am just not convinced that niche equstrian pulications are enough. Maybe the 2nd soruce, but the first source is also too short to count as passing the in depth coverage of GNG, so even if we accept niche equestrian publications as enough, we only have at best one GNG meeting source, and GNG requires multiple sources that are in depth and meet all its other prongs, so the one truly in-depth source is not enough to pass GNG so we should delete.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:23, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable notability per WP:NBIO/WP:GNG/WP:NBASKET with respect to depth of coverage and secondary sourcing. Poorly-sourced; strongest secondary sources supporting the subject may generally conflict with the principle of WP:AUD. Headphase (talk) 01:32, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I know there's no such thing as an auto-keep, but this nomination makes no sense. He's coaching at the Division I level and has a history of success on lower levels, and games played under an interim title count just as much as they would if he gets hired permanently. Nate (chatter) 18:53, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The league and team might be notable but notability is not inherited. Inclusion for athletes and coaches on Wikipedia is not merit based, rather it is based on them being covered significantly by indepth articles. The nomination questions his notability due to lack of coverage and as such makes sense since there doesn't seem to be alot of significant articles written on Novak. While Rikster2 has found three indepth sources, two of them are by the same author and all three are from a timespan of three weeks and brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability per WP:SUSTAINED. Alvaldi (talk) 21:02, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • As Alvaldi mentioned, notability is not inherited; the suitability of a subject earning a standalone article is not founded on that subject's future prospects. That is why existing coverage is important; until such a time as a subject's independent notability is clearly established by significant & targeted coverage, it may make more sense to merge the information into a larger article (in this case, the team's article). Headphase (talk) 21:25, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Sigh 😒...then why did you nominate it for deletion?! If you think it works as a redirect, try to do so yourself and if it doesn't stick, then bring it to AfD. I'm getting real sick of these quixotic deletion nominations where deletion will not be the end result, the nom still takes it right to AfD, and redirects and PRODs aren't ever considered. And if he gets a permanent contract and/or wins the title, this nom is going to look silly and downright embarrassing in retrospect; I guarantee you if the subject was an interim FBS football coach in September or men's basketball coach in early December, you'd be TROUTed and speedy closed, because an interim college head coach is still a head coach. Nate (chatter) 21:45, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, round 2: 1 and 2. BTW, GNG only requires “multiple” significant sources. Rikster2 (talk) 11:18, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - SEC women's head coach meets GNG and has sources. Not sure why this was even nominated. Jhn31 (talk) 04:15, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Fails GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Of the three articles that have been found, two are from the same author/newspaper and as such count as single source for the purposes of establishing notability. All three are from a timespan of three weeks, i.e. a brief bursts of news coverage related to his hiring. There is no inherited notability gained for coaching a certain team or in a certain league and !votes that state that the subject should be kept due to that contradict policy. NSPORTS specifically states that athletes and coaches have to pass WP:GNG with significant coverage over a sufficiently significant period of time. I tried looking for other sources, including on newspapers.com, but did not find anything of substance. Two articles in a span of three weeks are not enough in my opinion. I'm willing to reconsider if more sources are found. Alvaldi (talk) 10:01, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Have you done any independent research yourself for sources? I dug those out in 5 minutes from a Google search. If you are going to repeatedly insert yourself into this debate then I think you also need to give looking for sources an honest go before proclaiming someone doesn’t meet GNG. Rikster2 (talk) 10:51, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Rikster2: As I mentioned in my above comment, I did look for sources. To clarify, I tried a few Google searches with some variations (name + different schools etc.) and went through a few pages. I also did a search Newspapers.com where I also tried few variations and different time periods. The best I found were the same sources your search turned up. I am more than willing to change my !vote if others have better luck in finding significant sources from perhaps earlier in his career. Alvaldi (talk) 11:11, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I added a couple more references above. Including a lengthy interview from the Minneapolis Star when he was at Bethel. The GNG requirement isn't 30 sources it is "multiple sources." I have now cited 4 different (if you combine the 2 Clarion Ledger as one source). Rikster2 (talk) 13:49, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good work on the sources. GNG isn't a massive hurdle to overcome, three good sources are usually enough. He now has multiple significant sources from over at least 4 year period. I will change my !vote to Keep. I also added the sources to the article. Alvaldi (talk) 15:11, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disappearance of Christina Calayca (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am not sure what our current standards are, but there is almost no coverage since 2009, therefore possibly not of continuing encyclopedic interest. The article emphasizes details that would seem to be of relevance only in the immediate period, or to those actively engaged in the search for her. DGG ( talk ) 00:02, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Nominator's claim is false. There are in fact coverage from 2018, 2021, and 2022, which are already in the article. The article is supported by lots of WP:RS and notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY. Neocorelight (Talk) 01:36, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, yes the article is well sourced and the article is worthy of inclusion. Davidgoodheart (talk) 01:35, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep In defence of the article, ten of the sources are from after 2009 (five of them from 2021-2022) and there are three more from active online databases managed by provincial and national Canadian police forces as well as one of their affiliates, suggesting a persistent interest in the case. While media attention has tapered off since 2009, contemporary sources note that media attention in the first two years of the investigation was significant and far-reaching across Canada's largest province, and more recent sources evidence there is persistent public interest in the case. That the initial search is tied with a 2005 search for the longest ever performed by Canada's largest provincial police force is also evidence of its notability. I believe the details included are useful for putting the investigation and theories into context, though a few were included because they are part of the narrative surrounding the case or because they are unusual. I agree that extraneous details should be pared down where they appear, but I do not believe any of them would be considered interesting to only those involved in the investigation. DinoBenn (talk) 02:30, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete From what I can tell some of the references in the article have retrieval dates of 2018, 2021, and 2022, but were still written around the time of the person's original disappearance. Except with the caveat of a podcast from a year ago and maybe a blog post if I'm getting the dates correct (and I assume I am), but neither of these is usable for notability. So what the first voter said about this having continued coverage is wrong. At least in any way that matters. Otherwise, I'll change my vote if they can point out which references are from the last couple of years outside of the two I've mentioned. In the meantime references from the Canadian police and their affiliates don't work for notability even if they are current, anymore then a podcast or blog post does. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:35, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The recent sources I referred to are episodes of the podcasts The True Crime Files and Cold Case Detective from 2021, which are reasonably popular and mostly included due to the speculation present on their programs; an article from the popular missing persons blog Stories of the Unsolved from January 2022; an episode of the The Next Call podcast, which was published by Canada's national news broadcaster in 2021 and hosted by a prolific CBC crime reporter; and an article from the Elliot Lake Today news service from September 2021. The latter two were both published by reputable news sources and the former three, being independent media, indicate continued public interest in the case 14 years on. DinoBenn (talk) 03:05, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing you said there refutes what I said. In the meantime the fact that you say the podcasts are based on speculation just furthers my point that they don't work for notability since podcasts about cold cases are usually 99% based on unsubstantiated speculations and are therefore unreliable sources. It might as well be a reference to the National Enquirer at that point. The one that was published by Canada's national news broadcaster is no different, it's still based completely on conjecture. "On the CBC true crime podcast The Next Call, host David Ridgen speculated that Denis Léveillé, a suspect in the unsolved 1996 disappearance of Melanie Ethier with a history of sexually abusing teenage girls, may have been responsible for other missing person cases in Ontario." Does a podcast host speculating that some rando "may have" been responsible for the disappearance sound like a reliable source for a biographical article to you? Because to me it doesn't. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:44, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I did not say that those sources are worthy of inclusion because they are "based on" speculation, but that they offer speculation. It would do a disservice to the article not to include speculation from independent media, as these sources address angles which investigators have not brought up because they are potentially embarrassing to police (ex. the starlight tours connection) or baseless (ex. the arranged marriage rumour), and a reader who does their own research on the topic may be misled by online message board threads into thinking said theories have more or less value than they warrant. As to the point about unreliable sources, the article does not derive details about the disappearance from these podcasts except for corroboration purposes. I will also note again that with regards to The Next Call, David Ridgen is an award-winning crime journalist so his conjecture is noteworthy, though I will admit that the context surrounding why Léveillé is more than just "some rando" has been omitted for the sake of brevity. The notion that these sources are "usually 99% based on unsubstantiated speculations" is itself unsubstantiated, and Wikipedia policy does not state that independent podcasts should not be used as sources. As for whether my reply addresses your original concerns, I will point out that your original case in favour of deletion mentions that the more recent sources I mentioned were actually contemporary sources, while my reply demonstrated they are in fact from 2021-2022. I understand your skepticism about the validity of sources you have not had a chance to vet personally, but please respect that I am engaging with your criticism and not resorting to bad faith tactics to undermine it. DinoBenn (talk) 04:31, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to be confusing sources that can be included in an article to cite something with ones that can be used for showing notability in an AfD discussion. They are different things. There's a higher bar when it comes to using a source to show notability then there is for citing a piece of information in an article. Especially with BLP articles and the source is making un-substantiated legal accusations about people. Also, notability isn't inherited. Just because David Ridgen is a notable crime journalist doesn't mean everything he writes about also automatically becomes notable just because he did a piece on it. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:50, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am not confused. The original criticism was that there was only one or two recent sources on the subject, when in fact there are five from just this past year. Your criticism was that those five were not from the past year, and I pointed out that they were. Your reply was that they are not reliable sources for details on the case, to which I argued that they corroborate details offered by more credible sources and their value is in evidencing continued public interest in the case and the forms that takes. With regards to your latest points: Ridgen's speculation is not notable because an accredited journalist suggested it, but because an accredited journalist suggested a likely suspect behind an unsolved disappearance in a remote Northern Ontario community, which said journalist had done extensive research on, might be responsible for an unsolved disappearance in another remote Northern Ontario community given the prolific amount of girls and young women Léveillé assaulted and was convicted of assaulting in life. If anything, this is an indication that more details from the podcast should be included in the article for context, and that my failure was in believing it was sufficient to link to an article where the suspect is discussed in greater depth. As to the other sources, your personal stance on whether they warrant discussion in this forum is noted, but given that the original criticism is that the case is no longer being discussed the fact that multiple sources have commented on the case independent of one another in recent years suggests otherwise. DinoBenn (talk) 05:36, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I never disputing that multiple sources have commented on the case in recent years. Nor did I say the case was no longer being discussed. I literally said it was recently talked about in a blog post and podcast. But what sources exist from the last couple of years that aren't blogs, speculative podcasts, or the police? Btw, it also can't be the interviews done with her family members. I want something recent that isn't primary and (or) mostly full of unsubstantiated speculation and save the long, mostly off topic diatribes this time. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I will not spend any more time correcting the record. The Elliot Lake Today article, which I am linking here for your convenience, matches all the qualifications you have outlined. DinoBenn (talk) 06:48, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A reference from a guy who's recent work includes a story about an encounter he had with ghosts. Real reliable source there lol. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:19, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I realize that you are arguing in bad faith at this point, but for the sake of anyone reading this thread it should be noted that the linked news article relays factual information about the search & rescue process and how it relates to Calayca's case, including segments of interviews with SAR professionals familiar with the case. Supernatural phenomena do not come up in the article, so whether or not the author of the article believes in ghosts is about as relevant as whether or not they believe in God, Bigfoot, or the Moon. DinoBenn (talk) 07:42, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
How am I arguing in bad faith? I asked you for a reliable source from the last couple of years and you gave me an interview by a guy that writes articles about their experiences with ghosts. Which clearly isn't what I asked for. So your the one being bad faithed here. Either that or you don't know the guidelines and what a reliable source is. The fact that your acting like my issue has to do with the author's beliefs, instead of what they are writing about, makes me inclined to think your acting in bad faith though. Your mischaracterization of what I said about there being recent sources doesn't really make me think your being good faithed either. I could really care less if the author believes in god, but if they are going to write about their near death experience of heaven or whatever as if it actually happened then there's zero reason to assume they care about journalistic accuracy or fact checking. Let alone does the news outlet care about either of those things when its printing their ghost stories. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:19, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article is not about ghosts, so the author's opinion on the existence of ghosts has no bearing on the reliability of the article. The publication is owned by Village Media, a well-known media company, and publishes on a number of topics including editorial pieces like the one you are referring to. Almost all news publications do this, including CBC and CTV, often on much more controversial topics. The Elliot Lake Today and its staff are not unreliable because you do not like one piece by a journalist. As for the subject of bad faith arguments, I have a hard time believing that a person could be arguing in good faith when they reply with "lol" to an article about a missing young woman, or when they have put so little thought into their reply that they have not bothered to check that their argument does not contain four misspellings of a common word like "you're". This is my fifth article about a missing person and the first that has been nominated for deletion (on the grounds of notability, not the quality of its citations) so I will not argue with your point that I am ignorant about how the process works since it is a clearly unsubstantiated ad hominem, the latest of many. DinoBenn (talk) 08:47, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to waste my time addressing the petty off-topic and relevant points you've made, like you taking issue with grammatical errors, but WP:REPUTABLE says "Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." Except I will say it's laughable that you attacked me for miss-spelling a word in the same message your complaining about ad-hominem attacks. What's more hilarious though is that you asked me in a prior message to respect that your engaging with my criticism and then subsequently made various disrespectful claims about me. Including that I'm in acting bad faith and making may ad-hominem attacks against you. I get that you want the article to be kept because you care about the topic, but arguing in an extremely defensive and petty manor with people who vote delete isn't likely to result in the outcome your looking for. I'm not going to argue with you about it beyond that. Other people can review the references and make their own determinations. Ultimately my "vote" has extremely little weight in the outcome of this. So it's not worth arguing over. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:23, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
