- Comment I agree that the subject does not pass WP:NPOL, but can the nominator explain why, given the existing sources, the subject isn’t a GNG pass? Mccapra (talk) 01:02, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Beyond describing his political career, he hasn't done anything notable that they talk about. Being influential in Dnipro isn't GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 02:49, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete based on the above discussion. I'll add in (1) fringe candidates and ideas are not automatically notable, (2) which is well settled, (3) he is not notable as an attorney, and (4) he has literally done nothing outside of his local sphere, as it says in the article, making him run of the mill.

The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. It's not mentioned at Issues relating to biofuels so there's no reason to redirect. Should that change, happy to restore the history for a redirect. Star Mississippi 01:31, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

original research (violates WP:NOR), does not meet notability criteria. Few reliable sources available. Because of the non notability in the article, it has been neglected.

Coverage of Lam in secondary sources is relatively minor. Much of the sources seem to stem from primary sources (i.e. libraries which have published his works) or local newspapers familiar with Lam.

- Delete This person has written books that were published by indie publishers and one won an indie book award. He was once given a few minutes of air time on PBS. None of the sources or books reviews are of the level that we would usually consider to confer notability. Given the number of book titles published yearly (over 300,000 in the US) mere authorship is not enough to establish notability. Publishing by major publishers and reviews in national sources, with a bonus for making a best-seller list, is needed. Lamona (talk) 02:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Poorly sourced article about a defunct amateur film festival. As always, every film festival is not automatically entitled to have an article just because its own self-published website formerly offered primary source verification that it existed -- the notability test requires WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage about it in media independent of itself to establish its significance. But the only (deadlinked but waybackable) footnote that's ever been added here was an event calendar listing, not analytical coverage about the festival -- and even on a ProQuest search for other sources, I only found the festival's own press releases about itself and a few stray glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of other things or people, with virtually no substantive coverage that had the festival as its subject to fulfill either GNG or WP:ORGDEPTH.
For added bonus, the article was likely written for at least semi-advertorialized purposes, because until I saw it a few minutes ago it was shot through with dozens of WP:ELNO-violating embedded links to profiles for almost every film named in the article body on an offsite directory or streaming platform, which is not how Wikipedia articles about film festivals are supposed to be written.

Outside of a few minor chart placements, which are not in and of themselves an indication of notability, there is no significant coverage of this song.

Searches of "Nail Alışov" and "Nail Alishov" did not yield any detailed coverage that would help with WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Best I can find is a squad list mention as an unused sub in Report.az and a quote from him at the bottom of Matc.az. The latter is not significant because there is no meaningful third-party analysis of what Alishov said. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:17, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Article fails GNG with sole citation being a minor note in a biography.

- Redirect to Philip K. Dick, and merge in the content to the latter page, as the OP noted. I'd say that's the least we can do for this article, as a quick search on this topic only finds a couple sources here, here, here, here, here, but that's it, as most of the results from a "Nicholas and the Higs" Philip K. Dick Google Search don't seem to bring up reputable sources.--Historyday01 (talk) 13:17, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
Keep per WP:BOOKCRIT #5: "The book's author is so historically significant that any of the author's written works may be considered notable".I admit there's not much to say about it (there's a little more info here), but this information ought to be on Wikipedia somewhere. Merging to Philip K. Dick doesn't make sense to me; I don't see where the content of this article would fit into the main biography. I wouldn't be opposed to merging into a hypothetical "Lost works of Philip K. Dick", along with A Time for George Stavros and Pilgrim on the Hill, but that's a discussion for the talk page. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 21:29, 5 April 2023 (UTC)- "The five preceding criteria do not necessarily apply to books excluded by the threshold standards, and do not apply to not-yet-published books".

- Fair enough. It's still my opinion that even the unpublished works of an author of PKD's standing should be considered notable, but I see now that the notability guidelines don't exactly back that up.

- Weak keep or redirect at minimum. I am having trouble finding great sources to rescue this, but it is a valid redirect and probably we can find enough to rescue this. I'll ping User:ReaderofthePack and User:Daranios who IIRC both has a good track record digging some interesting sources for this kind of stuff. PS. Sources: self-published sadly, I only get snippet view but it may have something (I see mentions in several pages?); this book, also reliable, seems to have at least a paragraph (but snippet view again...); another book mentioning this (in a footnote or a list? is [3]). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:25, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Two of those are available on Open Library: To the High Castle is the one I linked to in my comment above; this is the best source I can find. Only Apparently Real includes the book in a complete list of PKD novels, with some info on the history of the manuscript. The snippet you're seeing from The Selected Letters is from the same letter of PKD that is partially quoted in the article. I can provide the full quote if requested, but it doesn't provide a great deal more information. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 07:59, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- I found mention of it here, in an online magazine calsed "LBV Magazine". Unsure how usable that actually is, though. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 20:40, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep In addition to the significant treatment in the listed To the High Castle and a number of other mentions where I don't currently have an overview of significance (and Divine Invasions already in the article), Philip K Dick is Dead, Alas, Philip K. Dick by Andrew M. Butler, and The Book of Lost Books each have a paragraph and a bit on Nicholas and the Higs. That's enough for me to believe notability requirements are fullfilled and a full and referenced article can be written on this topic. While we will never see this story (and therefore indeed WP:BOOKCRIT #5 may not apply), according to those sources the manuscript has been reviewd, and they provide us both with commentary on it, and some influence it had on other works of Philip K. Dick and his career. Daranios (talk) 10:46, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Question: About how many lost novels or other works are there of Philip K. Dick? The reason I'm asking is that there does seem to be quite a bit of coverage as a whole about his lost works. I can't help but feel like this could be its own article, with it broken up by time period or genre, depending on how it plays out. I can help compile sources for this but I don't have the free time I once have and this feels like it would be a pretty big project. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 20:56, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think there are that many lost works, to be honest. Since PKD's death, every scrap of paper that anyone can find with his handwriting on it has been posthumously published. There are only three novels for which no known manuscript exists: Nicholas and the Higs, A Time for George Stavros (recently redirected at AfD) and Pilgrim on the Hill.

I don't know where The Anomebot2 got the coordinates (supposedly from GNIS) that it recently added to this article; but the GNIS reference in the article is dead, and the current GNIS database contains nothing for a Radical in North Carolina. (This may have been one of the minor "locale" entries that have been purged from the database.) There is certainly a Radical Road in the vicinity of the location indicated by the coordinates, but I'm not seeing the place labeled on any maps.

Using newspapers.com I can find some passing mentions of this variety, but its quite clear this is an insignificant place. NGEO states that "Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG" and I do not see GNG being met. -Indy beetle (talk) 09:54, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: For what it is worth, Radical does appear on the 1913 Rand McNally atlas of North Carolina [4] (found via this article). It also appears on recent NC Department of Transportation maps, albeit along with many other tiny place names we don't have coverage on.[5] Seems clear it was a rural community identified by/with its post office. I also see Wilkes County was named after John Wilkes which even our article calls a radical in the first sentence, apparently as a reference to a political movement of his time, so seems like the source of the name.--Milowent • hasspoken 19:58, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

There are 30 teams in MLB, so naturally each team will face off against the other 29 over time. Wikipedia is not an WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of information, including going through each set of teams and picking out the times that they met in the postseason. There is no "rivalry" between the Braves and the Astros.

- Delete: Very little coverage of these teams as “rivals.” The sources present in the article only mention terms like “rivals” or “rivalry” in the title or briefly and show little depth of animosity between the two teams and their fan bases. Frank Anchor 12:56, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: The teams being arguably the most successful teams of their respective leagues in the past half-decade doesn't constitute a rivalry. That said, the primary claim made in the article and its sources is that the rivalry was strong in the '90s when the teams played in the NL West together, and has recently seen something of a resurrection. A rivalry can still be notable and worthy of inclusion if it's dormant (no one would've suggested that the Texas–Texas A&M football rivalry article should've been deleted when Texas A&M left for the SEC). Ultimately, however, those are all moot points. The question is whether there is substantial coverage in multiple reliable, independent secondary sources, and the sources don't really establish it as a notable rivalry, as per Frank Anchor. P1(talk / contributions) 15:38, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

I fail to see the notability of this house. While the compound where Bin Laden was killed, 'might' warrant its own article but this one? And while the sources mention the house, they aren’t talking about the 'house'. They don’t discuss it other than in passing, basically that he lived there. The sources write about what he did while he was living there. The house might merit a brass plate or graffiti tag saying “UBL slept here”, but at this time not a Wikipedia article. Note: after looking, the Abbottabad house also doesn’t warrant an article. Both articles are mini biographies, discussing stuff that happened during his lifetime there, but not about the house.

- Slight merger -- The article claims that its list is derived from one produced by UCCF. That primary list does not appear in the "see also" items in the UCCF article, which instead relies on this articles. The article is trying to reproduce a directory, but there will be no person who will certainly maintain the list, which thus is at risk of getting out of date, whereas UCCF are likely to maintain their own list. I support the work of UCCF financially, but like most student societies individual Christian Unions are inherent NN, with the possible exception of the Oxford and Cambridge ones. As a matter of information, UCCF is the umbrella organisation for University and College CUs, but there are also school CUs, whose umbrella organisation is Scripture Union.

The article has been edited almost entirely by one user that seems to have a very close connection with the subject. There is a notability issue that cannot justify this article. Chiserc (talk) 14:08, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Meletios Kalamaras was a notable eastern orthodox bishop for 32 years.
- 32 years full of works, writings, publications, international symposia, involvement in the Orthodox Church and its cooperation with other Christian Churches.
- He is already dead (11 years ago) and there is no need for advertisment for him any more. The article was created 10 years after his death.
- He was well known to the Christian world and his work has been recognised.
- An American scholar (Stephen Lloyd-Moffett) has written a book about Meletios Kalamaras' work as a bishop, published in the USA, not in Greece.
- I, therefore, cannot see why there is a notability issue for this article.

- Except for the current "controversy", the person seems equally notable under both names. More precisely, not notable. But as they are still using the male name to sign up for further marathons, I can imagine an argument for keeping the redirect. I find discussing the redirect rather academic, though, unless we decide to keep this article. —Kusma (talk) 15:45, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

'In response, Frank wrote that "I'm not at an advantage since I have very low testosterone levels due to hormone replacement surgery".'
and, guess what, that's not what Frank said at all! The source says'"I'm not at an advantage as I have very low testosterone level due to hormone replacement therapy," she wrote in reply to Yamauchi.'

While there is no prohibition against moving an article while an AfD or deletion review discussion is in progress, editors considering doing so should realize such a move can confuse the discussion greatly, can preempt a closing decision, can make the discussion difficult to track, and can lead to inconsistencies when using semi-automated closing scripts.

Another contested draft/redirect with zero improvement. Might be a case of WP:TOOSOON, but should have been left in draft until enough WP:SIGCOV could be added to show it passes notability requirements. Onel5969 TT me 12:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politics and England. Shellwood (talk) 13:53, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - the information appears to come from the published candidate lists by the UK election authorities, which is about as good as it could be. I can accept that the individual candidates are not notable, but given that the information about the election has literally been published, I can't really see how as a whole it can be non-notable. JMWt (talk) 16:01, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - for the same reasons I said to keep the equivalent page for Wigan also proposed for deletion by @Onel5969; there is value in letting these pages go live slightly ahead of the elections themselves. Moreover, letting these pages be deleted loses the work that people have put in in good faith, knowing that every UK local election in recent years has been given a page. Yes, the policies on general notability and verifiable sources still apply, but a hatnote highlighting the need for more sources or improvements would feel far more proportionate than a deletion or applying redirects (as Onel5969 has done to numerous other equivalent pages for the 2023 UK local elections) given how close we are to the election day now.
- Stortford (talk) 18:28, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep- for similar reasons you said. A lot of effort goes into making these and if we are going to start deleting them for the reasons stated in the proposal we are going to have to start deleting thousands of election related articles and possibly even the entire UK Local Elections page. A request for better sources would be far more reasonable. Bentley4 (talk) 14:54, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

- Its the official list of candidates by the UK elections authorities. How is that not in depth or independent? Bentley4 (talk) 04:41, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- It's all the information that it is possible to have about that election - except the results, because it hasn't taken place yet. Hard, in my opinion, to get more in depth than all the information from the only official source of it. JMWt (talk) 06:35, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- That's why it's not notable. Glad you agree there's not enough in-depth coverage at this point in time. If all the information is not significant coverage, that means it doesn't meet WP:GNG. And to answer the first question, it's not in-depth because it is not in-depth; and it's not independent, because it's published by a related entity. Onel5969 TT me 09:27, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- The election authorities are independent of the candidates and parties. That's how elections tend to work.
- If you are saying that we can't take official information from independent election officials as RS then I've a bridge to sell you. And there are a lot of pages on en.wiki that need removing. JMWt (talk) 11:20, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- The election authorities run the election. This article is about the election. Onel5969 TT me 13:11, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- You seem to be setting a very high threshold for notability and sourcing here, which I would argue goes beyond the accepted consensus position on what satisfies those policies for UK local elections, with many such pages having been created, reviewed and allowed to stand, with contributions from large numbers of editors. If you are saying that any such election page only sourced by the official sources is neither notable nor reliable, then that is a much larger debate than we should be having here on one specific council's election page for one specific year. I believe this page does conform to the policy on notability and sourcing, so should be allowed to stand as it is. Even if it did not yet reach those thresholds I would still argue that deletion is an over-the-top reaction given the imminence of the election day - you can be certain that within a couple of days of the results being declared they'll be added and sourced here too. If the page has been deleted in the meantime that's just wasted time for whoever then has to reassemble the base material already here. Stortford (talk) 15:03, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- The election authorities run the election. This article is about the election. Onel5969 TT me 13:11, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Non-notable rugby player, has stayed in the sport as a manager and assistant in various roles but I am not seeing any significant/sustained coverage to indicate that he meets WP:GNG (just hiring/leaving notices as part of routine club/team/sport announcements).

It was previously proposed for deletion twice. And that's obvious, because, there's only one source (which isn't in-depth, but rather statistics only).

- Comment: The Forbes Middle East 30 Under 30 listing demonstrates that the subject is of high significance [16]. However, there are only a very few additional reliable, independent sources that are useful, for example: [17], [18]. This story by Entrepreneur, although a contributor post, is still very credible since it was published by the managing editor of the publication [19]. In summary, the subject nearly meets the notability guidelines. More reliable sources would be useful. I believe it may be insightful for readers if it were to remain in the encyclopedia, but any promotional and/or branded information must be removed. Multi7001 (talk) 02:04, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

- To quote WP:POVFORK:
In contrast POV forks generally arise when contributors disagree about the content of an article or other page. Instead of resolving that disagreement by consensus, another version of the article (or another article on the same subject) is created to be developed according to a particular point of view. This second article is known as a "POV fork" of the first, and is inconsistent with policy: all facts and major points of view on a certain subject should be treated in one article.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 03:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)- Delete Blatant POVFORK, and an unusual one at that. Any content here could be included at Scarsdale, New York if consensus was built, and all of it likely breaches undue coverage. The affluence of Scarsdale is not notable independent of Scarsdale itself any more than it would be for say, Atherton, California. The only "Wealth of X" page we seem to have is Wealth of Donald Trump, where it's clear that the particular topic is independently notable. Dylnuge (Talk • Edits) 18:14, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

WP:Notability The individual currently lacks sufficient personal notability.
While they did receive some national coverage, this coverage almost entirely focuses on the fact that he may have been a spoiler that forced a potentially-consequential U.S. Senate election into a runoff. This indicates a circumstance where an individual is only widely notable in relation to a single event. In those cases, it is Wikipedia's general policy to have an article on the event, but not have a separate article on the individual themselves.
It is my request/suggestion that we
- Turn the Chase Oliver space into a redirect to the
2020 United States Senate election in Georgia2022 United States Senate election in Georgia
and
- Draftify the content (move to the draft space). It is possible that in the coming year, as he runs for president, he may garner note. Heck, perhaps might even be his party's national standard-bearer. Therefore, it makes sense to keep this content in the draft space for a period of time to make it it easily-available if there is a rationale to re-create it as an article, as well as to allow people to improve the draft's coverage of the individual before that time comes if they so desire.

- @Maile66 I wouldn't say that site selection is cutoff point before which an article cannot be created, as we started articles for 2024 conventions before their locations were selected. However, now is simply not he time for a 2028 RNC article as there is nothing more than early speculation as to the location with miniscule coverage (without any actual major action towards bidding, or even the initiation of a bidding process), and the 2024 conventions are still more than a year away from happening themselves. Also, in retrospect, the 2024 convention articles were published at least maybe half a year too early (my bad). Should have waited until formal bidding was underway to move them out of the draft space so they'd have actual meat to their content. SecretName101 (talk) 04:56, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

- Dear IP editor with no other edits, in this case the sources can be ignored per WP:ANYBIO and WP:PROF. Maybe you are new and not familiar with these policies, so you should not place a vote until you have more experience. The policy states:
- "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources." Hkkingg (talk) 17:21, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- If the experience is decided by the age of account and edit count, you should never put a vote. You joined 13 days ago and had made only less than 70 edits before marking your vote. It seems that you are already aware of certain wikipedia policies which are not even known to moderate experienced users. This is strange. You do not look like a new user to me. 202.164.137.17 (talk) 06:17, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Even for WP:PROF notability, we require reliable sources; we merely don't require them to have the depth of coverage in individual sources that would be required for WP:GNG notability. Sources that are "mix of press releases and some black hat SEO", if that characterization is accurate, are unreliable. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:09, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- @David Eppstein I request that you review this again and reconsider your position.
- 1- Because Ellis Island Medal of Honor has a wiki page, we can consider it to be a reliable award and meeting WP:ANYBIO, plus this is not the only award that he won.
- 2- Please tell me which specific citations are press releases or black hat SEO. They all look like legit publications to me. Let's look at a few in more detail:
- - The Economic Times India is one of the major publications from India and has a Wikipedia page here. Almost 13,000 articles on Wikipedia have used this site as a citation.
- - Nutraceutical Business Review looks like a legit publication in the field of Nutraceuticals
- - Indian TV News looks like a legit Indian publication with a Wikipedia page here. 2300+ articles on wikipedia have used this as a citation. According to their About page they have a #1 ranking TV station. Are you saying that this Large TV Station is selling blackhat SEO articles??? what proof do you have???
- - NuFFooDS Spectrum: According to their about page: "NuFFooDS Spectrum India's first magazine catering to the Nutraceuticals, Nutritionals, Fuctional Foods and Dietary Supplements sector."
- - HAPPI Magazine : a publication in existence for more than 50 years according to their ABOUT page and has 30,000 subscribers.
- - WholeFoods Magazine : A publication in business for 39 years (since 1984). It is the longest-tenured media outlet of its kind in the natural products industry. Check their ABOUT PAGE. Majeed has 2 articles on this. Check Article 1 and Article 2.
- If any of these are are press releases they must say "Press Release" on them and to proof they are SEO and black hat, you must provide some evidence that they are selling articles, such as a Fiverr link.
- 3- The guy has almost 8000 academic citations. I found at least 11 books written by him and 170 patents. He clearly can be considered an academic and passes WP:PROF. Hkkingg (talk) 02:03, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Ellis Island Medal of Honour is given by Ellis Island Honors Society. It is not a well-known and significant award so he fails WP:ANYBIO. Economic Times is another publication by Times of India. Per WP:TOI, The Times of India is considered to have a reliability between no consensus and generally unreliable. It is known to accept payments from persons and entities in exchange for positive coverage. You have provided no sources that help to meet WP:GNG. 202.164.137.17 (talk) 06:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

This is very obvious when you ignore the big fact that the guy has 8000 citations and have not provided a rebuttal for my #3 argument. According to WP:PROF he would qualify, which states:
- a. The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates.

- Comment I'm not going to waste a lot of time trying to apply NPROF to someone selling books on turmeric as a cure-all as, from the little I've gleaned about it, it's pseudoscience. On the other hand, his books seem to sell a darned sight better than a lot of people we've accepted as notable authors, so we may be obliged to keep the article based on his being an author. It is not our job to judge whether his books are clap-trap, only whether they're notable clap-trap. But we are entitled to remove anything that looks like promotion from the article about him. Beware of keep; it may not be the result you want; Wikipedia articles are obliged to treat a person and their work fairly, but not necessarily portray either in a positive light. Elemimele (talk) 18:16, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

If you do see anything promotional, please go ahead and state it or you are welcome to edit the article yourself.

I'm not sure there's a good reason for this article to exist. We already have Basic Latin (Unicode block) which has a more complete list. Given this encyclopedia is intended for English readers, we generally only put non-English names of things on the article about that thing. That's also where we put interwiki links to articles about that thing in different language. So normally I would have removed the German, French, Spanish, and Latin columns from the tables in this article, but that would leave it as 100% redundant to the other article.

- Keep, per sources found by Alvaldi. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:39, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per Alvaldi's sources. Admittedly they are a little light individually. But the LA Times coverage counts as one source for GNG purposes and put these two articles together, not to mention additional minor coverage from the LA Times I found on newspapers.com and the LA Times seems to have given him significant coverage. So that is 2 sources with significant coverage plus what I would call intermediate coverage from the Orange County Register, and I think he just clears the GNG bar.

- 169...63: The page at ICANNWiki (which is, yes, a wiki) was created and primarily edited by a user named NasratKhalid. Blurbs for speaking engagements are notoriously fluffy, generally provided by the speaker themselves. The G20 sources used don't do much to establish notability, as one is an article he submitted to the Global Solutions Initiative. Our article currently says,
He has established four organizations, including ITRCA,[6] and has been recognized by the G20
, where the ref [6] is the aforementioned wiki article he apparently wrote himself, the four organisations he's said to have established are unnamed and apparently non-notable, and the "recognized" bit is unsupported by any source. It's not even clear what form this recognition is supposed to have taken. - The current last sentence is
His passion for technology and commitment to serving his country and fellow Afghans have made him a respected figure in the international development community.
This is not only unsourced but pure promo blather. - Apparently he wrote a chapter in a book, Securitizing Youth. Haven't found any reviews for that work, though.
- The only thing that does anything for me is the Rice award (which, I must admit, was not well-known to me before this). Unfortunately, I can't find that anybody (except him and SID) has written about him winning the award, so I can't see how significant it is. And that's about all I've found, that's not really about Aseel. For that reason, I would say delete, as I don't see much that can be merged to Aseel (website). — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 08:39, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete there exists no definitive source that explicitly and categorically attributes any particular fashion trends to Shakira. Nonetheless, the singer has adorned herself with various clothing that has garnered attention and commentary. Nevertheless, there exists no evidence to suggest that Shakira was the progenitor of any particular fashion trend. Thus, the current article would only serve as a mere inventory of clothing donned by the artist, which lacks in significance. Best – jona ✉ 14:24, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Merge only properly sourced material to Cultural impact of Shakira per above. // Timothy :: talk 09:41, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Fashion and cultural impact are two different things, and I am concerned with the proposed merger that it will cause most of the fashion content to get cut. As far as I am aware, nobody needs to be the progenitor of a particular fashion trend for it to be notable they wore those clothes. This article is clearly based off of Fashion of Madonna which is separate from Cultural Impact of Madonna and I don't think there's a solid argument for why Shakira should be any different, especially because the Cultural Impact of Shakira article is already very long without the extra content. In my personal opinion, what this article really needs is someone who is knowledgeable in fashion and fluent in Spanish to analyze whether or not this is notable. And it needs to be copyedited.Computer-ergonomics (he/him; talk; please ping me in replies ) 05:05, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Footwear News: Colombian singer Shakira has had an immeasurable impact on music and fashion globally.
Women's Wear Daily: While Shakira is known for her musical versatility, she’s been making a statement with her fashion for decades.
Vogue France: Shakira's decades old formula to her signature style
Remezcla: Casio’s watch sales have increased since the release of Shakira’s song
British Vogue: Shakira breaks down 19 looks from 2000 to now
NBC: ‘Shakira, Shakira' Exhibit to Open at GRAMMY Museum in March 2023. "When it comes to Shakira’s on-stage style, she is timelessly consistent. Through the decades, she has energetically performed in outfits that hug her silhouette and expose her midriff. The "She-Wolf" has always remained loyal to her low-waist skirts and bottoms."
These are just sources in English. I'm not seeing any solid arguments for why this is WP:FANCRUFT, and as the article on FANCRUFT itself says, calling something FANCRUFT "is not a substitute for a well-reasoned argument based on existing Wikipedia policies."
