Deleted and unilaterally restored over a decade ago; even if the abbreviation is occasionally used, it doesn't need a DAB page because it's unclear what's actually being DABed.

- Keep approximately all the two-character letter+number combinations are articles (though Category:Letter-number combination disambiguation pages was just deleted?). The entries are enough to keep this even if it isn't disambiguating articles. I'm also not sure if Zero hour or OH would be the redirect target, another reason to keep. Walt Yoder (talk) 01:04, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

- Weak delete its not an OS settlement[1] (it shows up as "other feature") and doesn't appear anywhere in A Vision of Britain. Its in the parish of Forest and Frith so could be redirected there but given its not even a settlement I don't think it should be mentioned there but as it isn't even a settlement I don't think it could be so a redirect probably isn't appropriate. There is information at [2] saying its a house and at [3] saying its a "popular location for artists and photographers". I don't think that's enough for notability though but Books does return more though I'm still not sure. The house doesn't seem to be listed which may also have been an indication of notability. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:56, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Along the same lines the 3 in Cumbria are OS settlements and also the Skelton one was a township which probably makes it legally recognized administratively and the others have mentions in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-Names. The Derbyshire one is also an OS settlement and the article has other content. The North Yorkshire one though not an OS settlement has a source for it being a village in the past. The Stanhope one may also not be notable as it isn't an OS settlement and doesn't have any sources. The Alnham one is clearly notable as a former parish even if not an OS settlement. The Haltwhistle one though not an OS settlement also has coverage in the Oxford book. So I'd say perhaps nominate the Stanhope one for deletion. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:25, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Folks sometimes confuse existence with notability. Was draftified, and returned to mainspace without any additional in-depth sourcing. Current sources do nothing but mention the organization. Or are primary. Or are unreliable. Fails WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. Onel5969 TT me 11:40, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete the only in-depth coverage I could find is https://cleantechnica.com/2021/11/04/native-led-indigenized-energy-initiative-seeks-to-decolonize-renewable-energy/. CleanTechnica isn’t a listed RS, and discussions in the RS Noticeboard suggest is somewhere between being not reliable and great caution type sourcing Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 290#Cleantechnica and Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 295#CleanTechnica, again. So that is just one, questionably reliable, detailed source. Not enough.
- Otherwise, I see a few scattered mentions like https://www.cnn.com/2015/11/23/opinions/sutter-coal-montana-two-degrees/index.html, but not enough to satisfy Wikipedia:ORG. Jo7hs2 (talk) 14:40, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. Non-UK readers may be thinking of weather presentation being a local job, but Williams became a regular Met Office weather reporter on the BBC's most prestigious national nightly news programme - she was part of the team that took over from John Kettley and Michael Fish in 2000. A Nexis search finds various coverage of that at the time, along with a pretty good 2001 Western Mail profile of her (Charting the rise of a high-pressure career; Face to Face - Helen Willetts) and several newspaper stories from 2005 on her being the first News at 10 presenter to use 3D weather maps (plus an awful lot of non-RS tabloid commentary on her throughout her career, the least said about which the better). She's familiar to people across the UK and there seems to be at least some independent, in-depth coverage of her beyond the Met Office and BBC. Adam Sampson (talk) 12:57, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Not finding anything beyond the short quotes in articles, as shown here. The book review listed here is a dead link and I can't find others. I believe that his book is self-published. The publisher, Wooden Table Press, was incorporated the year before his book was published, published no other books that I can find, and has no current web presence. It looks like a one-off to publish his book. Which also tells me that the article for Oil 101 should probably also be deleted. Lamona (talk) 04:21, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

- Giog is a variant of chess played in Malaysia, in which Chinese chess pieces are used and played in a card-like manner. Variations of these games are prevalent in various regions of China and other Southeast Asian nations where Chinese communities reside. After reviewing pertinent materials, I have found that this particular game boasts highly intricate rules and is incredibly engaging. If more comprehensive information in English is included, I believe it can be preserved.악준동 (talk) 08:23, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

- Comment: The title is unusual for a Chinese game. It's definitely not a transliteration of Standard Mandarin, but it might be a transliteration of a one-syllable word in some other variety of Chinese (maybe Hakka?). If the game exists, it's possible the WP:COMMONNAME in English is something else. On Wikidata, the article is linked with zh:打棋摞, which is cited only to offline sources. None of the names listed in that article look likely to be transliterated as "giog". —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 03:29, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. I can only find two original sources for this game. One is the account at pagat.com, on which this article appears to be based, and the other is a passing mention in a book on chess. According to pagat.com "Giog" is a Fujian Chinese romanisation of 爵 ("noble") and refers to the three-piece combination in the game. Giog also goes under other names. It isn't a true card game because it's played with Chinese chess pieces. For me, the jury is out in terms of notability because there is only one rule source. However, I am unable to search for it in Chinese, although I see that the Chinese language article linked to this one cites 3 book sources. So perhaps we should hold fire until a Chinese speaker can check it out (the original author isn't currently active on English Wikipedia). Bermicourt (talk) 11:43, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

- Merge to Reliance Industries as this isn't independently notable per WP:CORP. @TimothyBlue: Technically, this could be speedily closed since you haven't actually explained why the article should be deleted - having been speedily deleted before is not a valid reason. SmartSE (talk) 10:37, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Question: Here is the series of events, please tell me what I should have done different:
- Article created for the first time by Pervezmusk [12]
- Article tagged for CSD per A7 and G11 by TimothyBlue [13], then deleted by Jimfbleakas as A7 and G11 [14]
- Article is recreated by Pervezmusk [15].
- Article is tagged as CSD G4 by another editor (not me) [16]
- Second CSD is rejected by SmartSE as not meeting G4 [17]
- TimothyBlue understands that a THIRD CSD post would only be contested and removed by Pervezmusk so then posts to AfD with a explanation of the nonsense at CSD (see above). [18]
- Pervezmusk removes AfD tags (validting my judgement that they would have contested another CSD [19].
- @SmartSE: point out my flaws. Pervezmusk continues along, without even a peep.
- I'm obviously in the wrong I need to know why. // Timothy :: talk 15:24, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep I looked again after considering the above evidence and Pervezmusk has added additional sources to the article since nomimation, showing the flaws in my BEFORE, and I have found more and have added them to the article. Hopefully @Pervezmusk.: will be able to use them to expand the article. There will be more non-English sources that a language expert should review before deletion. Based on new sources and the flawed nomination this should be kept. Smartse is correct the nomination does not explain a rational for deletion, does not address sources in article, and failed CSDs are not a reason for deletion. I cannot withdraw because of the votes above, but I would if I could, so others should consider this a withdrawl based on new sources. // Timothy :: talk 15:57, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Therefore doesn't pass GNG/NCORP.

These artists do not appear to meet notability requirements and might rise to the threshold of a hoax. None of the linked references to the Grammys show what they purport to show and are simply links to the United States Grammy Awards, not the Grammis.

- Speedy delete as a hoax. AI generated bullshit, see ANI. The "Swedish Grammy awards" they are claimed to have won do not exist and are not present in the cited sources (I suppose they might be claiming to have won the Grammis, but the 2003 Jazz award was won by Oddjob). I cannot find any evidence that any of the albums in the discography are real. I can find no evidence of the claimed collaboration with Bob Dylan, the claimed collaboration with Leonard Cohen is sourced to them individually recording covers for the album "Cohen - The Scandinavian Report" - how on earth does that source show that they recorded covers for their third album "lyrics"? These artists have collaborated on albums together, e.g. sv:Anders Widmark featuring Sara Isaksson and sv:Pool of Happiness, but this article is nonsense. 192.76.8.84 (talk) 22:01, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect - to Space (English band), which is where he earned most of his media notice. Since leaving that band in 2005, he has been in other projects and became a producer, but I can only find one serviceable story that covers that portion of his career ([26]). Otherwise since Space he's made an honest living in music but without the coverage that is necessary for the independent notability that is required here. And BTW, having a stage name that is the same as a popular dog breed makes you very hard to find online. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:54, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Previously PRODded for unambiguous advertising/promotion. I think it's the same now. Article is full of PR pseudonews articles, passing mentions and content that does not amount anywhere near passing GNG. Bedivere (talk) 18:30, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of People-related deletion discussions. Bedivere (talk) 18:30, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Aiona participated in Miss Universe Canada 2019, with performances at subsequent galas. As for the musical field, she has been recognized twice by the Latin Awards Canada, the most relevant Latin music awards in this country. Aiona is currently one of the female performers representing Latin music in Canada.
- In the discussion of the article in Spanish, also proposed by the user Bedivere, her argument is that she doubts the relevance of Aiona Santana because the media only mention her (which is not entirely true), and that where they do interview her, they are irrelevant media. She (@Bedivere) suggests that I use the media that exist on Wikipedia as a reference, and that they also talk more about the artist.
- When arguing in these spaces, the article has a section next to it that contains books, news and other utilities that contribute to a better argument, therefore, I am sharing below what appears when searching for Aiona news, at least in more than five media from Canada, the United States, Venezuela, Colombia and Argentina.
- Aiona news in the "News" link of Wikipedia -> https://www.google.com/search?tbm=nws&q=%22Aiona+Santana%22+-wikipedia&tbs=ar:1
- I understand that Aiona is recognized in Canada, but there is no exclusive Wikipedia for this country, rather it is shared with the United States, England and other countries that use the English language, therefore, it seems coherent to me that this article is published where it belongs. Something similar happens to me when I write on the Spanish Wikipedia and the creators of Spain do not give much credit to what is relevant in Latin America, just because it is not well known in Spain.
- I am grateful, and I hope that we can achieve the best for this article. ChuchoVCJMuzik (talk) 19:13, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Your penultimate paragraph is plain wrong Chucho. It does not matter where people are based or lived in, they should comply with the general notability guidelines. This person is not notable as a beauty pageant (she did not even get to the top 20 in Miss Universe Canada 2019, and that does not make her notable at all even if she were top 10); the Latin Awards Canada are of dubious notability and in fact the article reads like an advertisement; the remainder is your own opinion ("the most relevant..." etc.). Please provide proper sources to assess the otherwise lack of notability. You did point out a couple of sources in the Spanish Wikipedia but these were obvious public relations articles, obviously paid for, and were not even about the artist but the label.

- I'm unsure how she passes GNG. Could you please elaborate? To me, sources are insufficient per the reasoning pointed out in my nomination. Bedivere (talk) 23:34, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - The article uses a lot of prose to glorify her career so far, but it is mostly a repeat of the autobiography at her own promotional sites and social media feeds. She is not notable for getting to the middle levels of some beauty pageants. For her music career it is too soon for a Wikipedia article because she has not graduated beyond self-upload streaming services. For those above who are supporting the article, note that this is an encyclopedia in which someone must qualify for inclusion, and that requires reliable media coverage from robust sources. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:00, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Just as a follow up to my previous remarks, I'm copying my comments at the nomination for deletion of Farandula Records, also a dubiously relevant label whose article was created by Checho. Here go my words:
- The author of this article also seems to have a COI with the label, as they have also created the article for Aiona Santana (currently up for deletion) and also the Latin Music Awards (basically, IMO, a pay-to-win award ceremony which is also non-notable). The label has received coverage, but these articles mostly look like PR, paid-for articles. I'm beginning to think the author is being paid or strongly motivated to create these articles. Bedivere (talk) 05:47, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- There is a second account, RyanAfton, who has uploaded on Commons (see talk page) some of the images ChuchoVCJMuzik has used to illustrate these articles. Too much of a coincidence?
- Chucho has created articles about people of dubious notability, some of which have been already deleted. For example, Rafael McGuire was nominated for deletion (see here) and it was pointed out "Sources appear to be puff pieces/paid PR". Same applies here. Bedivere (talk) 05:49, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- A third user, Guairahumber, has uploaded some obviously PR photos of artists related to Paisclo Solutions Corp (whose deleted article was also created by Chucho). Guaira uploaded on 19 February File:B Martin 3.png, especially for an article created three days earlier by Chucho (B Martin, also of dubious notability). Perhaps this should be reported somewhere else, but I'm leaving it up here for now for commenters to analyze. --Bedivere (talk) 05:56, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

This article most certainly fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV; the topic is one of probably hundreds of campus cats and the fact that he got minor coverage as a human-interest story in the local newspaper and two tabloids does not grant him GNG. SilverTiger12 (talk) 16:38, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

It's simply mischaracterizing the low quality sources and tabloids here. WP:FART/WP:NOTPEOPLEMAGAZINE gives some additional guidance on that.

- The nom already mentioned human-interest story otherwise known as soft news (of an even fluffier variety in this case than some of the less criticized types of soft news there). Generally those types of stories are not given much weight for existing in news sources and disregarded as news fluff when we get to "local animal" stories.

- I should add on that while we've been dealing with a lot of edit warring at the page with editors trying to maintain extremely low quality sourcing without consensus, there is a bit that's been fleshed out at the article on sources.
- Of the original sources in this diff, the first is just the university's page and not independent. 3 is from WP:METRO and on the WP:RSP as not reliable. That only leaves two sources, The Warwick Tab and Conventry Telegraph, which are both local regional tabloids as others have mentioned. Nothing we can use here for WP:GNG or even WP:DUE content in an article. We'd pretty much be left with a stub saying the university calls it their official cat at best. Pretty much everything that's been brought up on the talk page has also just been local sources like the student newspaper. KoA (talk) 04:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Merge with and redirect to University of Warwick, article is definitely not notable enough on its own, but information about the cat could be in included in the University of Warwick article. GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 18:55, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- I weighed redirect before my delete comment above, but honestly I don't see this being a useful redirect (parentheticals rarely are by nature when the core name already isn't enough). The larger issue though is that there really isn't content to merge, even before I recently cleaned up a lot of fluff in the article. There was a lot of WP:UNDUE stuff independent of any AfD discussion in the article that would become even more undue at the university article. Content at the university page, if any, would probably best be crafted independently. I wouldn't really see it going past a "neato" tidbit one-liner though that they have a campus cat. A lot of campuses have some gimmick like George the campus squirrel, etc. that have a very local following, but typically wouldn't be of encyclopedic value at the university article.

- Keep per GNG (disclaimer: article creator). I strongly disagree. The business is the first of its kind on the West Coast of the United States and among the first in North America, and has inspired the creation of similar cafes. The subject has received in-depth coverage in a variety of publications including major regional newspapers and magazines.

- It has received essentially routine coverage in local newspapers about its opening, closing, re-opening, and last closing- this is normal stuff to find in the business section. It inspired attempts to establish one other cat cafe (that source mentions it in one sentence, and is itself a single-paragraph blurb). The last two sources are online listicles.

No idea if it should be kept or not, but one of the reasons this kind of articles gets so much resistance is the very poor quality of much of the sources. The first cat café on the West Coast? Uh, no. Presumably the first, and in any case older, was "Cat Town Cafe", opened in Oakland in 2014, as reported by Time Magazine[28] and countless other major national and even international sources. Now there is a cat cafe that truly warrants an article. Fram (talk) 18:29, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

- That was my reaction too. I think it drifts towards keep, but I haven't looked hard enough at the rest of the sources yet. I saw a lot of initial fluff in the article like at the Description section that I tried to clean up. Listing the specific entry fee and food items really came across as WP:INDISCRIMINATE. That kind of stuff makes it harder to wade through the notability question because usually that's covering a lack of notability. Doesn't seem to be the case here, but definitely needing cleanup.

- Keep. As a business, Purrington's Cat Lounge needs to meet WP:ORG, and especially WP:AUD:
Among the qualifying reliable, independent sources are The Columbian, KGW, Willamette Week, Oregon Business, Wine Enthusiast, The Oregonian, Oregon Public Broadcasting, Northwest Travel Magazine, Time Out, and Las Vegas Weekly. IMHO, this is not even a close call: the article meets both WP:ORG and WP:AUD, more rigorous qualifying standards even than WP:GNG. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 19:17, 29 March 2023 (UTC)The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.
- The number of sources gives a false impression: the vast majority of the actual articles being used as sources are essentially puff pieces from around when the cafe opened (none more than a few paragraphs of basic information, and are a step above press releases), plus local business news about it's closing, re-opening, and re-closing. Indication of long-term significance? No. Just a "notable to locals" cafe. I've seen similar coverage for basically every locally-owned business in my area in the local/regional newspapers, that still does not mean they merit articles. The Las Vegas Weekly is a trivial mention, btw, it absolutely does not count towards SIGCOV or GNG, and WP:NCORP specifically states that "inclusion in lists of similar organizations, particularly in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists" is trivial coverage, which rules out the Wine Enthusiast, Northwest Travel Magazine, and Time Out mentions. And yes, I did go through and look at each of the sources. SilverTiger12 (talk) 20:05, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

- Weak keep. Basically said it already in other comments, but it's had enough coverage for a now closed business, though I do agree with SilverTiger on it being a bit of a flash in the pan sort of thing that weakens its case with what can be considered trivial coverage. Still needs cleanup and a look at reducing fluff, and that's probably the larger issue with this one than the notability question. KoA (talk) 03:25, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Although I am involved with WP:ELEMENTS and have authored some of the content of this article (see User:Double sharp/Unbitrium for specific attribution), I am not sure whether the topic meets the general notability guideline.
There is plenty of sourced content in this article, but little is pertinent specifically to element 123 (unlike 122, 124, 126, and superheavy elements in general; notability is not inherited), and is already covered in related articles such as extended periodic table. Since this page has been BLAR'd and drafts have been declined numerous times, it is clear that some disagreement exists regarding notability. The guideline MOS:NONEWELEMENTS was published earlier this year in an attempt to codify the consensus, as several project members (including myself) doubt that extensive new sources that would demonstrate notability have come into existence since then.
Additionally, Draft:Unbitrium was rejected yesterday by Robert McClenon citing the many arguments that this element is not notable, yet was moved into mainspace earlier today by DGG, citing that Any element for which there is sufficient published theoretical predictions, is notable
. The question then becomes, what predictions are considered sufficient?
Because of the extensive disagreement and local consensus behind the guideline I linked, and the fact that the previous AfD was 12 years ago, I believe it's appropriate to establish a fresh consensus beyond WP:ELEMENTS as to whether this hypothetical chemical element is notable. From me, it's a weak redirect to extended periodic table, but I'm willing to reconsider if coverage specifically of element 123 in reliable sources is deemed sufficient. Complex/Rational 15:59, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Weak redirect. This was a draft I created a while back when I still didn't understand the rules of wikipedia. When the draft was declined a few months ago, I then understood that it didn't pass the notability guildlines. Yesterday, someone I have no affiliation with decided to resubmit this draft, and I agree why it was rejected. However, I don't mind if it gets accepted or not, but for now I would say redirect to extended periodic table like unbipentium. 141Pr {contribs/Best page} 17:01, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Weak Redirect to Extended periodic table and lock the redirect. I agree with ComplexRational that arguments can be made both ways. The question, and the answer is not obvious, is whether there is sufficient speculative theoretical information for a stand-alone article. My opinion is that there is not, but the results of this AFD should be a rough community consensus with regard to other theoretical elements. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:14, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect per above. The entire article is generic predictions about theoretical superactinide elements. (incidently, the same argument applies to Unbiquadium, which is a Good Article for reasons that escape me). Walt Yoder (talk) 17:23, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Some of the sources in the unbiquadium article describe more extensive predictions specific to that element, as well as unsuccessful synthesis attempts, which unbitrium does not have. Complex/Rational 17:31, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hopefully, one day these will be the "pre-discovery" sections. (They read a bit like Hassium#Natural occurrence or Livermorium#Unsuccessful synthesis attempts.) But there is enough history on 121, 122, 124, and 126 that the "pre-discovery" section by itself seems to justify an entry. Double sharp (talk) 09:17, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Some of the sources in the unbiquadium article describe more extensive predictions specific to that element, as well as unsuccessful synthesis attempts, which unbitrium does not have. Complex/Rational 17:31, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Extended periodic table and lock the redirect. Unbitrium does not currently have enough notability and notability is not inherited from other element pages. The references in the article refer to the superactinide elements in general rather than unbitrium, and the notability of it has been discussed time and time again with the consensus that it does not need its own article. If events happen and new information comes out, the full article can be recreated but it is clear that as of now unbitrium is not notable enough. Even so, I think locking the redirect would be good so that it is not changed into a full article (like it historically has been multiple times) or vandalised. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 18:07, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- I think that unbitrium will become notable at some point in the future even though it is not notable now, so I think the level of protection to be placed is a point to be discussed. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 18:10, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect, per MOS:NONEWELEMENTS. Also, InterstellarGamer12321 here nicely notes that notability (in all >=119 elements, i.e., theoretical elements) is derived from/based upon on their range of elements. R to Extended periodic table serves well. -DePiep (talk) 19:05, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

- Checking out references. Most are generic for those super heavy elements. Specific ones are dictionary entries, or Landolt-Börnstein repeated 3 times. These are not selective and so do not prove any notability. So agreeing with redirect. Protection is not a problem, as it can be unprotected as required if new information is published.

- Comment There are multiple sources in the article that appear to focus specifically on element 123 (reference numbers 60, 66, and 70/71/72). Is it enough? 123957a (talk) 10:35, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- 70-72 are from a database that covers many elements, so only 60 and 66 are actually specific. I think it is not enough because no one has actually tried to synthesise this element (as at least happened for all others in 119-127) or looked for it in nature, so it is not clear if the few predictions that exist have been used for anything in the real world at all yet.

- 60 is already in Unbiunium#Nuclear stability and isotopes. The multiple predictions mentioned there make it clear that we don't really know much about the potential stability (for one thing, 60 does not consider cluster decay, which other studies suggest should be significant in this region). So, I do not think we should really be basing an article on just one model, even if that happens to be the only one that has been applied to that element (because that's likely because 123 is too far out of reach experimentally to interest most researchers).

I can find no evidence that the person described in this article actually exists. The citations to the New York Times and the Jerusalem Post are dead (despite only having been added 5 days ago) and do not exist on the Internet Archive. The third citation to The Independent is about a totally different person with no mention of Yaakov Bentolila. There does seem to be an academic of the same name with articles on the Hebrew and Spanish wikis, but that's clearly a different person from the one described here. I can find no sources pertaining to a Moroccan musician by that name, which is quite strange considering that he was supposedly notable enough to earn obituaries in the New York Times and the Jerusalem Post. On another note, I felt that the writing style of the article was a little "off", so I ran it through an AI writing detector. It came up as 91% likely to be AI generated.

As far as I can tell, for over a decade this has been the agreed upon way that red carpet fashion has been dealt with on the website.

CT55555(talk) 19:30, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Exactly, though there was one editor I think who did a lot of good work on red carpet fashion. The ones I started were on some polls and ones I thought might have decent enough coverage, but some of them would probably be best merged into a Red carpet fashion in xx articles. This one appears to have had more coverage than some of the others. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:23, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Note I mentioned this AFD in a related thread about gender and racial bias on Jimmy's talk page, without trying to canvass support here in case anybody says anything. I don't think this article was nominated because of a bias against women, and in the current state can understand why people would want to merge it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:48, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- I think that the cis male editor bias on Wikipedia has prevented this article and others like it from expansion for over a decade. The entire reason that this got nominated was that the original poster voted to delete a recent article I created about Lil Nas X's pink suit, and when I said "this is not something that doesn't belong here, here's an example with fewer sources than this" the original poster nominated this one for deletion as well. This is despite the fact that there seems to be little expertise in fashion going on in this thread. Like, open suggestions to miscategorize the outfit, merge it where it doesn't belong, etc. The confident dismissal of fashion as something that is automatically trivial even when one knows very little about it is rooted in gender bias. There's entire books dedicated to famous articles of clothing, it's not about how there should be more random dresses on Wikipedia to combat sexism. It's because it's a topic that people want to know about, and that Wikipedia could be a source of knowledge for, if more effort was put into it. Computer-ergonomics (talk) 05:29, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

After the initial coverage, there is no in-depth coverage of the outfit, so the "enduring" aspect of WP:NOTNEWS is not met. None of the keep !votes address this.Onel5969 TT me 01:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Usually, Grammy Award winners have their outfits placed in the Grammy museum, which would have inspired another round of reporting for sure. However, the 62nd Grammys were not featured in the museum due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So unfortunately, the reporting legacy of this outfit was cut shorter than it would have been otherwise. Additionally, Lil Nas X himself has become such a style icon that there are hundreds of articles about his clothing. I personally chose to write an article about this one because I (and many other people interested in fashion) feel like this is a very interesting fashion turning point for him. Computer-ergonomics (talk) 04:07, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see where WP:NOTNEWS says that enduring coverage requires that subsequent references be in-depth. It seems enough to me that there are subsequent references that identify an event as having been significant. Furius (talk) 20:33, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events." - enduring notability, not enduring coverage, which means that the coverage needs to be significant.Onel5969 TT me 20:47, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- I think you are treating that section as setting a higher standard than it does. In context, it is saying that "routine coverage" of an event or person does not establish notability. But the contemporary sources cited in the article are not routine. They are in-depth coverage, like reviews of a movie published following its release.
- Elsewhere, we have WP:SUSTAINED: "sustained coverage is an indicator of notability" (my emphasis); WP:NOTTEMPORARY: "once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage;" WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE (which, again, speaks of continuing coverage). The last emphasises that the the point is to establish whether a topic is of "passing or lasting significance." In this case, we have later sources saying that it was of lasting significance in the world of fashion.

- Keep. Clearly notable topic. Auburn is and was a top-level, SEC men's basketball team -- and the article is brand-spanking new, having just been created this month. And what's more, a freshman by the name of Charles Barkley emerged as the team's star. See [36], [37]. A search of Newspapers.com turns up some 1,500 articles, just in Alabama, about Auburn's 1981-82 season. See, e.g., [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44]. Thus, I conclude that the article passes WP:GNG and needs improvement, but not deletion. Cbl62 (talk) 17:21, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per the same reasoning as my comment on the 1980-81 season. The sources turned up by Cbl62 are evidence that the article passes GNG.

- Keep—Sure, bus crashes are a type of traffic collision, which is a pretty routine occurrence (unfortunately). But a death toll of 20 people strikes me as being quite a bit higher than average, and the implications it holds for Saudi Arabia's management of the Hajj gives the event an added significance that I feel merits a full article.

QuietHere (talk) 05:26, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Apparent non-notability. Even with an archive of the Rock Sound review and this one from PopMatters, I don't see enough to save this. Also worth noting the apparent CoI behind the page's creation.
- Keep as prod contester; I added sources found by QuietHere and some of my own, which include coverage in major (international) music news outlets such as Pop Matters and Exclaim!. The article notes coverage in Alternative Press, which I can corroborate as I was subscribing to the paper magazine at the time (though I no longer have the paper copy, which is why I haven't added the footnote). I believe we can take the Metal Hammer review on good faith, as the others in the article have checked out, and offline sources are as good as online. That's enough to cross the threshold for bullet 1 of WP:MUSIC. Chubbles (talk) 00:39, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Analysis of the sources
Mildred's Big City Food is based in Gainesville, Florida. It was formerly known as Mildred's Cottage Gourmet and Coffee House. The restaurant received reviews in the regional newspapers the Orlando Sentinel, the Tallahassee Democrat, and The Gainesville Sun. Orlando, Florida, is 257 miles (414 km) from Gainesville, and the Tallahassee, Florida, is 154 miles (248 km) from Gainesville. That the restaurant was reviewed in regional newspapers that far away from it strongly contributes to notability. The sources meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience.
The reviews meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Product reviews, which says, "Significant reviews are where the author has personally experienced or tested the product and describes their experiences in some depth, provides broader context, and draws comparisons with other products. Reviews that narrowly focus on a particular product or function without broader context (e.g. review of a particular meal without description of the restaurant as a whole) do not count as significant sources."

The restaurant review notes: "And let's speak here of Mildred. That would be Mildred Pierce, the only role for which Joan Crawford won an Academy Award. ... The connection with Mildred's Big City Food is a tenuous one and more of an inside joke between the owners than anything else. ... The other part of the name is an obvious tongue-in-cheek reference to the sort of dishes one might find in a city larger than Gainesville, say Tallahassee. Still, the menu, which, according to my server, changes nightly, is neither flamboyant nor unnecessarily creative. ... The restaurant's small dining room features a row of banquettes along a wall of shuttered windows and walls sporting metal sconces. Tables are covered with white cloths and topped with white butcher paper. A slender tapered silver candlestick with oil lamp and black shade provides a bit of romantic atmosphere. Two rows of what appear to be copper pipes run along the ceiling and serve as rods for beige curtains with black tassels that are draped so as to provide a sort of canopy."

The restaurant review notes: "Mildred's Cottage Gourmet and Coffee House, is in fact, on a road we barely found. We just happened to see a sign for Mildred's ... In fact, with its high-beamed ceilings and multileveled interior, not to mention its gourmet foodstuffs on stainless-steel racks and its elaborate coffee bar, Mildred's would have fit into Tampa's trendy Hyde Park area, where we'd been the previous day. ... [discussion about sandwiches] I had that last one, and it was delicious. Ellie thoroughly enjoyed the hummus and a salad, and my husband raved about the chicken salad with fresh herbs. For dessert, we had wonderful chilled apple crisp, fantastic blueberry cobbler and just-right Key lime pie."

The restaurant review notes: "Mildred's Big City Food is a restaurant with a split personality. It began life a few years ago as Mildred's Cottage Gourmet, a popular lunch spot, coffee shop and gourmet market in Micanopy. Now it's moved to Gainesville and by day it's an order-at-the-counter sort of place with upscale sandwiches and salads. ... At dinner, Mildred's tries to transform itself into an upscale bistro, but for me, it just doesn't quite succeed. ... The braised lamb shanks (yes, there were two small ones!) were perfectly cooked, the meat almost falling off the bone, but they had not been properly trimmed before cooking, leaving the dish greasy and gamy-tasting."

The article notes: "So, I headed over to a little restaurant in Gainesville called Mildred's Big City Food for an early lunch. It serves simply good, honest food. In fact, I think the name is misleading, because this place is all about local, organic and sustainable - qualities I associate with small-town food. This one little restaurant purchases more local ingredients than 50 of the largest restaurants in Gainesville combined. Mildred's is one of the rare gems that stand for taking care of the community. Their food is all made from scratch, and Chef Bert Gill was gracious enough to provide the recipe for one of his most popular salads."

The article notes: "Mildred's had moved about a dozen miles north, to Gainesville, and has been reborn as Mildred's Big City Food. ... At lunchtime, you can order from the sandwich-salad menu, or choose one of the tempting takeout dishes. ... At night, it's from-the-menu only, and Joe was sorry he couldn't try the lamb potpie in the takeout case. But he was plenty happy with his Stilton-filled steak. ... Any time of day, you can stuff yourself silly with the sinful, hugely portioned Mildred's desserts."

The book notes: "Mildred's is a funky European café by day, an American Bistro in the evening when the chef is at his best, It's also a favorite of many Florida writers, including Jeff Klinkenberg, St. Petersburg Times nature columnist and author of Real Florida. You will not find any endangered species here, but you will find excellent fresh seafood, lamb, pasta and an outstanding Key lime pie. Ginger-cured salmon on basmati rice with tangerine oil, pan-fried mangrove snapper on fresh squash and vidalia gratin and quail wrapped in a fig leaf are a few choice selections.

The book notes: "Winner of numerous awards, Mildred's Big City Food is a hot spot for those who enjoy good food beyond café fare. Sandwiches at lunchtime include beef brisket with beer-cheddar sauce and a sloppy tempeh-joe with fried onions; creative salads and a quiche of the day. Dinner starts at 5, with three perfect courses to select from: perhaps fresh sardines with a roasted shallot custard, followed by a carrot ginger bisque with carrot salad, and hanger steak with a leek-mushroom tartlet, paired with the perfect fine."

- Delete: Sources above/article/BEFORE are a mixture of promos and ROUTINE, nothing from IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and in-depth. This is a normal average business, nothing encyclopedic. // Timothy :: talk 13:13, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. The restaurant has received significant coverage in independent RS in two different cities that are literally 2 hours away, and in opposite directions. That's exactly what we need to see for a restaurant: significant coverage outside the local area. When a restaurant is notable, food editors from far away cities write about it -- in full, in-person reviews, which is what both Cunard's #1 and #2 are -- and the only reason for that is because they're telling their readers it's worth it as a destination (or at least worth a side trip/worth a stop). If it were even just a single instance, I'd be saying it wasn't over the hump. Two plus sigcov locally puts it over the hump of notability for a resetaurant.

- Keep - The article was pretty flimsy early on but I've expanded it over time with some more sources including ones that mention communication participation and ownership changes. At this point I'm comfortable in saying that it meets notability guidelines even if it's still a bit on the small side. --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 07:12, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Let me just translate for y'all what I read in the firewall-suspicious source. "The Red Serpent" might not have been of interest if Alexander Nevsky's career as an action hero had not begun with him.... Bazhenov ridiculed the stupidity and cheapness of these films, but only thanks to his criticism did someone watch them. Suitskvarts (talk) 14:37, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Tamil art director, production designer and actor - a remarkable combination of talents, and yet failing WP:GNG, this has been draftified a couple of times, particularly to 'segregate' UPE, which is very much a concern here.

- Delete I've been on the fence about this one. When the draft was moved back from draftspace for the second time by its creator, I thought of nominating it for deletion; the reason I didn't, and instead cleaned it up a bit, was that Murugan has won a Vijay award. However, I'm not sure how notable that award is in itself given that it was cancelled after a few years and I now think it isn't really grounds for notability on its own. I've searched for sources to support his notability, but not found anything. Of course it is possible that sources exist in Tamil, but I doubt that significant coverage would exist without any trace of it in English. There is an obvious conflict of interest: the draft creator registered 11 months ago and has only edited about Murugan, hasn't reacted to any questions about paid editing, and removed the AfD and COI templates today while also restoring some unsourced claims. All in all, I don't see how Murugan is notable per WP:GNG, WP:ENT, or WP:CREATIVE. --bonadea contributions talk 11:37, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- RK vijay Murugan art director predominantly works in Tamil industry for past twenty years. So all the news magazine & articles are only in Tamil language.

- @SEO Article: First of all, please address the questions on your user talk page. After that, could you mention here three Tamil language sources that are not in the article now, and that are reliable, independent, and secondary, and are about Murugan specifically? Interviews, such as this, are not secondary and don't show notability. --bonadea contributions talk 15:03, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
