Doesn't pass WP:GNG. This person wasn't a general and a Hero of Socialist Labo, it is confirmed. Imanov was a colonel and a police chief (confirmed with notable sources) and hadn't any other remarkable positions and awards. There have been several discussions about wrong informations and questionable sources about this person in azwiki and as a result, this article has been deleted. This is the discussion for deletion in Azerbaijani Wikipedia Surə 🗯 19:21, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Military, Police, and Azerbaijan. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 22:23, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. This is a promotional piece rife with outright falsehoods, written by one of his descendants who has an obvious WP:COI, who also happens to be the author of this article that these claims are sourced to. Many of the keep !voters cited sources that allowed him to clear GNG... I'm not sure where those sources are. The article was speedied on tr.wiki twice, and has now been deleted on az.wiki as well. The first AfD on az.wiki is quite informative about the sheer extent of the falsehoods here, including an examination of sources that reveals he has not received the Hero of Socialist Labour award. --GGT (talk) 16:25, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Storg Keep Please see the discussion page before posting. An article should not be deleted because of personal bias. You will answer for what you did in the Azerbaijan section - the article was restored, and you deliberately deleted the article - the candidate is meant. The information about the person is completely encyclopedic. You don't see the Associated Press source? See Azerbaijani sources. thenews.az, karabakhnews.com, encyclopedicity is obvious based on the number of all indexed publications. konkret.az pravda.az, modern.az, kanal17.org, The latest news from Israel - jerusalem daily journal Sources appear to be sufficient for WP:GNG. @Necrothesp, @Atchom, @Stifle There are those who confirm this in the previous discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.219.190.173 (talk) 20:48, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This IP is probably User:Elshad Iman (Elşad İman), who was blocked on several wikis for abusing multiple accounts and undisclosed paid-editing, as you can see here: SPI case and SUL. Now he started threatening wikipedians. NMW03 (talk) 17:40, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. The only thing on the article's talk page is a note that a COI editor contributed to making the article. This corroborates what GGT said above; in that light, I'm not clear why the IP says that's a reason for a strong keep. —C.Fred (talk) 11:53, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep It certainly passes WP:GNG. I agree with @Ficaia that this meets WP:SIGCOV. Per the large number of good refs.--Jasulan.T TT me 11:06, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Quantity of refs does not equal quality. Puffery and inflation of accomplishments. AP Press wire release that praises Lavrenty Beria and is written in an exaggerated tone is not a reliable source. Articles like the Redaksiya one are just inflating jubilee medal awards that all Soviet (para)military personnel received into something significant. Despite the promotion effort Imanov is no more notable than any other midlevel bureaucrat. Kges1901 (talk) 11:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep A person is considered encyclopedic as the author of military textbooks. He played a role in historical events and sources are seems reliable. Look carefully on the Internet for information about this person, maybe there is an electronic encyclopedia about him. Also - we should not judge the personalities of our contemporaries and the past by the same criteria, that is, I mean that there may be a lack of sources, because the press of that time reflected events in newspapers, there were no websites at that time. The importance of the individual is valid according to the personalities of the #Past. Redaksiya (talk) 11:56, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

- I read multiple military textbooks and manuals. I never associated them with notability - or memorability.
- Maybe the Soviets had better writers?

- @A. B., When reading the source here - Azerbaijani literature, it becomes clear that he also worked as a teacher.
- I also read the posts on the discussion page for recovery. A reliable source like AzTV has a radio program about him, listen to the radio broadcast.
- Significant participation in the creation of large reference publications, the preparation of textbooks for primary, secondary and higher schools, in demand outside the educational institution where the author worked. There are minimum requirements for WP:AUTHOR Jasulan.T TT me 05:28, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- If he wrote other textbooks besides military textbooks, that’s a bit different.
- In the West, military manuals are usually assigned to a person or committee to write. The assignment is usually more about who’s available than who’s an expert.
- In the Soviet era, I’m guessing that anything significant, policy or tactics-wise, came out of some central bureau in Moscow, and wasn’t written by the local police.
- These are guesses on my part.

- As I already said above, “these are guesses on my part”.
- I haven’t had time to dig into the sources yet, so I haven’t expressed an opinion about deleting the article.
- I was simply responding to the assertion that preparing military textbooks contributed to Imanov’s notability.
- Show me the textbooks he wrote were somehow different from run-of-the-mill government textbooks and I’ll happily change my mind.

- There is also no proof that he actually wrote any textbooks, especially as the PR Newswire article that is copied in many of the sources describes the titles of medals differently from their actual names: Eminent among these accolades gleamed the "Sentinel of the Caucasus" medal in 1944, the "Triumphant Overlord of German Soil" medal in 1945, and the coveted "Supreme Servant" 1st-degree medal in 1961. These are mistranslations of the names of run of the mill Soviet medals awarded for participation or just having been in the military/state bureaucracy at a specific time given to hundreds of thousands of recipients.

Shortly after Nikita Khrushchev came to power in 1953, he was removed from this post and appointed head of the Militia Department named after Lavrenty Beria.

- Can be Kept: Encyclopedias do not "force" the inclusion or exclusion of specific articles or individuals. The decision to include or exclude content in an encyclopedia is typically made by the editors or administrators based on established criteria and guidelines. These criteria aim to ensure that the content meets certain standards of notability, verifiability, neutrality, and overall relevance to the subject matter of the encyclopedia.
- Editors and administrators carefully evaluate the content to maintain the integrity and quality of the encyclopedia. They may consider factors such as the subject's significance, coverage in reliable sources, and overall contribution to the field or topic being covered. The goal is to provide accurate, reliable, and comprehensive information for readers.
- While encyclopedias strive to be objective and impartial, the final decision on article inclusion is subjective to some extent, as it relies on human judgment and interpretation of the established criteria. However, these decisions are generally made in the best interest of the encyclopedia and its readers, aiming to provide a valuable and informative resource. 5.191.113.161 (talk) 13:46, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Non-notable hyper-regional amateur sports competition at one of the lowest grades of the sport. Moved from draft to main article space without issues highlighted in AfC submission being addressed. A WP:BEFORE search returns a small amount of routine local news/sports coverage of individual games in this regional amateur sports competition. But nothing that indicates that the competition itself has been the subject of significant coverage. Certainly to the extent that WP:SIGCOV or WP:NSPORTSEVENT would expect. (As an aside, the moving editor continues to create/move articles like this. Ignoring all peer feedback, AfC notes or input on user talk. Or the outcomes of very similar recent AfD discussions on similar topics.

Fails WP:GNG.
Rasputitsa is the Russian name for mud season (according to this very article’s lead). This article should be merged into that one which covers the same subject and is titled according to WP:USEENGLISH.
Rasputitsa as distinct from mud season receives no significant coverage as the main subject of reliable sources. Mud season is a prominent topic in some works about logistics or war, and is sometimes mentioned by its Russian name in specific contexts (usually WWII in Ukraine, Belarus, and the western margin of European Russia). But the Russian name is not generally used in English, and when mentioned it appears in italics or quotation marks as an unnaturalized foreign term. Mud season has been mentioned in some recent news about Ukraine, where the Russian name has equal or less prominence to the Ukrainian translation bezdorizhzhia.[8][9] The Russian translation rasputitsa doesn’t have a distinct special meaning in English, and doesn’t appear in general English dictionaries.[10][11][12][13], not even the OED.[14] It does have a 23-word entry in A Dictionary of Weather.[15]
The article mud season has 5.2 kb of readable prose, and this one about 2.2 kb, so the largest possible merged length of 7.5 kb is still far short of a length of 45 kb plus that would justify two articles according to WP:SIZESPLIT.

- Oppose, term appears in many works on the eastern front during the Second World War, but also on the Napoleonic, IWW and other wars; it refers to the particularly strong type of 'mud season' present in Russia. WP:USEENGLISH does not mean that we can only use 100% English names, but that when we have a choice of several versions we choose the one that is most popular in texts written in English. Rasputitsa is certainly such a one.
- Besides, I don't know why you give as a reason for removal the fact that the Ukrainian term is more popular than the Russian term for mud season in Ukraine. Firstly, we are talking about mud season in Russia so I think this is natural, secondly, I am not convinced that this is the case actually. Marcelus (talk) 21:30, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- there is no "particularly strong" mud in Russia - it is an excuse for losers. I assure you, mud in Poland is just as strong if you go off paved road. And God what a swamp Silicon Valley was until it was drained! And I am not even talking about Canada, Alaska, Norway... - Altenmann >talk 21:50, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- A synonym appearing in works doesn’t mean it’s a separate subject. Can you cite sources where the word clearly refers to a different subject than mud season, however strong it be? Can you cite sources where the term is used exclusively and not mentioned in passing? Can you demonstrate significant coverage as per GNG?
- It’s not about using the word. It’s about declaring that the word represents a distinct subject per our guidelines and creating an article for the mud seasons of supposedly higher strength levels that supposedly occur in supposed Russia.
- The Ukrainian name is now being mentioned, not used, exactly the way the Russian name used to be mentioned regarding fighting in exactly the same region. Please be aware that much of the fighting “in Russia” during WWII, the Russian Civil War, WWI, and Napoleon’s invasion took place in Ukraine and Belarus. —Michael Z. 22:46, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- merge into "Mud season" There is close to zero novel content, expect for speculations that somehow mud season helped Russians to defeat enemies, as if Russian army was immune to mud. But, as Russian invasion of Ukraine demonstrated, mud is an enemy for any army; which is even in military handbooks now. - Altenmann >talk 21:50, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: There is no Wikipedia guideline that requires "regional variants" of an over-arching subject to be condensed/merged into a single article. For example, Fremantle Doctor and Southerly Buster are both terms for a strong wind, but there is no reason those two pages would have to be merged into Gale. Macktheknifeau (talk) 04:24, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Those aren’t merely terms meaning “a strong wind.” They aren’t just synonymous regionalisms. They are specific, named winds. The capitalization of these proper names attests to that.
- The common noun rasputitsa is just the Russian term for a general phenomenon that can occur in many places and at different times. —Michael Z. 04:52, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- The Russian army was not immune to the mud, it was just that the rasptutitsa particularly affects the offensive side, stopping the attack and allowing the defending side to reorganise its forces. Soviet troops faced the same problem during the counter-offensive. Marcelus (talk) 06:48, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. This is the wrong forum for a content dispute. This quite clearly meets WP:GNG (beyond sources in the article we have quite a bit of in-depth news including for example [16][17][18]), doesn't fall afoul of WP:NOT or WP:V, given the way the articles are structured it doesn't violate WP:CFORK. I don't oppose an editorial decision to merge, but I don't see any policy reason to enforce a merge at AfD. Even the discussion here so far suggests this seems to be a content dispute and AfD discussions are not the place to resolve content disputes. —siroχo 03:57, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep: WP:SK Rule 3 "The nomination is completely erroneous". We went through this exact discussion about a merge a year ago and there was no consensus. This article clearly meets GNG and AfD is not the place to try and force through a merge just because the article has a Russian word as the title. There is also no wikipedia guideline that any article has to be of a particular size to justify being a stand alone article. If anyone is worried about the length of the article they can feel free to expand it, rather than simply nominate it for delete/merge. I would respectfully request to the OP to withdraw the nomination.Macktheknifeau (talk) 04:24, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep (no merge): A quick google search shows that it is not only the Russion word for mud season, but is used also in English sources as well: Oxford Dictionaly of Weather, Rasputitsa as title of an English book, an article by RUSI (UK), Yahoo News and more. @Altenmann and Michael Z: I think claiming that the terms Rasputitsa and Mud Season are used interchangeably is WP:OR, this needs a proof and not the opposite. --Cyfal (talk) 08:34, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

- It should be the other way around: Rasputitsa has ten times more visitors a month than Mud season (ca 11,000 and 1,100). Every one can see on the talk:Mud season Mzajac has a goal: to get rid off the Rasputitsa article. It was Cyfal who added after a few hours a link to this discussion; not Mzajac. It cannot be true that if one starts a discussion he doesn't have to mention this on the specific talk page. It causes confusion certainly not clarity.Taksen (talk) 02:42, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

- Rip currents and surf have not yet begun to affect the East Coast. A preparations and impact section still could not exist.

- Tater Tot the disabled kitten is not merely a fad. The reach of this kitten is global, and has dominated social media, the internet, news, and has affected people's lives in many ways that random fads do not. People's lives are being changed. That is not a fad. CTR1874 (talk) 04:05, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

- Without commenting on the quality of the argument for AFD purposes, the poster is likely referring to the fact that Tater Tot and his slogan "keep going out of spite" have become to some degree inspirational motivators for humans who are trying to persevere through life difficulties such as physical or mental ailments/ impairment and other challenging personal situations.TheBlinkster (talk) 14:20, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - We have a glut of articles during the short period of time when they were a popular meme, and essentially no coverage since then. As said by the nom, this indicates a lack of WP:SUSTAINED coverage that would indicate notability. I would also be fine if this were sent back to Draft, and then either restored or covered at List of Internet phenomena if there was ever later sources to provide evidence that there was true sustained coverage.

- Keep as it meets GNG and has worldwide coverage. I'll IAR and do OTHERTHINGS by pointing out the fact that various incidents like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carberry highway collision (2nd nomination) also fail WP:SUSTAINED but were kept on the grounds of GNG. Tater Tot's sticker has the same breadth of coverage. There's no reason to keep Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2023 Kericho truck crash but not this. EvergreenFir (talk) 07:01, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- Bit late to the reply, but are you seriously arguing that an accident that killed 52 people is comparable to a disabled kitten that lived for one and a half months? I fully expected to see an accident that killed like 3 people when I clicked that link, but that is honestly a very bad comparison. AryKun (talk) 13:37, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per above: Fails SUSTAINED, ONEEVENT, NOTNEWS. This is an Internet fad that someone managed to make an article about. A merge into List of Internet phenomena, as suggested by Rorshacma, is also acceptable. But not a stand-alone article for something that lasted a handful of months and which is unlikely to receive any real coverage in the future. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 13:03, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Either Delete or Redirect and merge salvageable content to List of Internet phenomena. Unfortunately, while the story behind this can be emotional, it ultimately has not enough notability to stand as an article on Wikipedia. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 13:35, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete/partial merge per AryKun. We really can't be having articles on anything that goes viral these days. People like cute animals but there should be sustained coverage beyond a brief burst of news for a stand-alone article on a cat. Few of these sources are actually original reporting, it's easy to repackage the same content. Maybe Cats and the Internet could include this, but there would just be so many of them. Reywas92Talk 13:55, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I created an article about "viral pet" that seems to have withstood so far: Eclipse (dog). But she had at least 5 years' sustained coverage. I don't see sustained coverage here. However WP:SUSTAINED mentions organizations and future events by name, and by inference living persons, none of which may pertain to this article. I'd like to hear more debate about that. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:54, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Merge. This doesn't meet SUSTAINED, or NOTNEWS, nor arguably ONEEVENT. But such "Internet-famous pets" do probably meet the WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE threshold for inclusion in a list. It's correct that "we really can't be having articles on anything that goes viral these days"; it's a never-ending and increasing amount of very short-lifecycle stuff. But almost-notable animals are probably of borderline encyclopedic interest enough to listify them in a general article on "Internet stuff", or even a more specific split-off article about such animals, if something like List of Internet phenomena gets too long. All the emoting in the keep comments above generally makes me lean even stronger toward merge, or even delete if came to that. This is not a venue for trying to guilt-shame other editors for not being as heartstring-pulled as you are about cutesy animals (and I'm probably in more cute cats Facebook groups that you are anyway. >;-) PS: List of individual cats is another potential merge target, and/or another source of entries to split off into a list of Internet cats or something, if we wanted to do that. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 00:10, 6 September 2023 (UTC); rev'd. 00:38, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 19:29, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- WP:ONEEVENT, if it applies to cats, would merely suggest changing the scope of the article to the notable event, not an outright deletion. Also, I don't think we can really evaluate WP:SUSTAINED after one month for something that was covered for multiple weeks. That said, I'd be fine with a merge to List of individual cats or Cats and the Internet. Otherwise, keep for at least a few more months to evaluate SUSTAINED. —siroχo 06:11, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - If the issue is that it hasn't been long enough to establish if something is actually notable, wouldn't the ideal solution be to Draftify it for a couple months to see if additional coverage is forthcoming and restore it at that point, rather than Keeping it until then? Rorshacma (talk) 20:11, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

- If you think the accident is non-notable, nominate it for deletion. In any case, we don't have articles on every minor accident that kills 10 people somewhere, just the larger ones. If this was a cat with actual notability like Grumpy Cat, we wouldn't be having this discussion. As it stands, it's a kitten with twisted legs that died in 1.5 months and did absolutely nothing; if we're making an article on this, we should make one on every random animal that has a viral Reddit post and a couple churnalistic articles spawned from that. AryKun (talk) 15:34, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- I mean, we're seriously going to treat a couple thousand members in a Facebook group and a similar number of Instagram and TikTok posts as a serious measure of impact? I will guarantee there are more posts than that about "fanart"porn of at least twenty-five individual Pokémon, and we are definitely not making articles on that. AryKun (talk) 15:38, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

- I've found that it's more likely for a change to go through if you wait awhile to let the furor die down. Not just deletions, too- there was a nastily contentious move discussion on a paleo article over moving to the scientific name over a news-given nickname. The first move discussion was bogged down with randos supporting the nickname, but the second a few months later only attracted a handful of paleo regulars.
- Personally, I was considering bringing this article to AfD in a few months myself when the fad was over. I suspect if you waited a year and brought those accidents to AfD, there'd be much less participation, especially if there was a lack of coverage after the initial outburst however apparently sustained it was. SilverTiger12 (talk) 16:05, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- Much of the above speaks to why I went with merge. Lots of topics are within the "not indiscriminate" scope but fail NOTNEWS, etc., and maintaining a summary of them in topical lists is much easier than having separate articles on them. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 07:13, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

- With respect, my impression is that you didn't follow Tater Tot's coverage or the interest taken in him very closely. You seem to have decided on your own that this is just a Facebook fad and not notable instead of actually taking into account the volume of news coverage, the people making art or murals based on the cat's life, etc. I am also not sure what you mean by the cat not "doing anything" - cats whether it's Tater Tot, Pot Roast, or Grumpy Cat generally do not "do anything" unless they are animal actors appearing in movies, or play a part in some dramatic news event like Harambe the Gorilla. Notability of an Internet celebrity animal is more likely to come from sustained exposure, and it's hard to argue that Tater is not getting sustained exposure, especially when you haven't given it enough time to see if the exposure persists over time or gives rise to new initiatives, new charities, other lasting effects.

- You don't seem to understand the concept of "sustained exposure" either. As sad as it is, the cat passed away. All news articles about him (I have just checked) are a month old. There's no active reports (what is there to report about?) on him, and the only "exposure" is a Facebook group which is only posting photos of *other cats* for obvious reasons. Ladysif (talk) 13:24, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Speaking as someone who takes a general interest in celebrity cats and other celebrity animals, the global reach of Tater Tot's story, which appeared in a very large number of news outlets around the world and helped to bring attention to the plight of disabled or "special needs" foster animals, was unusual and definitely meets the notability criteria. Tater Tot is also continuing to have an impact after his death by promoting both the cause of disabled animals and general perseverance in the face of difficulties. If other "Internet celebrity cats" such as Pot Roast (cat) can have a Wiki article, then Tater Tot certainly qualifies also. At absolute minimum, the page should be kept for now and then if necessary revisited in several months or even a couple years, to see if there is some deletion criteria based on lack of lasting impact. Right now it appears the tide is going in the other direction and the impact on popular culture is actually increasing with time. TheBlinkster (talk) 12:57, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- for that matter, who is/was Pot Roast? I've never heard of them, but every time I turn around, I see Tater Tot. So... idk. Jane Heyer (talk) 05:04, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep- Almost every cat on the "cats of the internet" and "list of individual cats" page has a link to a seperate page about the cat, why is it any different for Tater Tot? I see people saying "but he only lived a month" as a way to write off him being a "fad" but he surely would have been a much larger piece of internet culture had he lived longer because he already had a GIGANTIC impact. His story has helped spotlight several other disabled kittens, most especially in the 57 thousand member group "tater tot and his spudbuds" which has helped multiple shelters get funding for their animals to be able to get medical care so he it still having an impact on the world. 2600:4041:1CA:4F00:5182:CF61:45FE:3093 (talk) 22:21, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- Cant "edit to add" but if I could I would mention that if it absolutely HAS to be deleted it should be merged into "cats of the internet" because of the huge amount of news coverage. The amount of people showing out for this discussion page alone should make it notable enough for at the very very least an entry to cats of the internet 2600:4041:1CA:4F00:5182:CF61:45FE:3093 (talk) 22:27, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

- Merge I think Tater Tot would be best having an entry on the Cats and the Internet page. I understand that he made an impact, but I don't think it's appropriate to have an article for every kitten that goes viral. I've fostered kittens and I understand the impact that Tater Tot has had on some people and the visibility for disabled animal welfare. Considering the impact but also the short span of it, I think the merge is best. I do think some of the supporters of the page coming from Facebook need to be more respectful of Wikipedia and it's volunteers. This is not a personal attack on Tater Tot or disabled kittens or animal welfare. The people who are for deletion or merge are people who are just trying to keep Wikipedia running smoothly.

- Keep Tater Tot is more than just some internet fad. He has created a movement where people come together in a community online to help rescues and shelters, especially in a time they need it the most. This community focuses on helping disabled animals the most. After the pandemic, so many people gave up their pets they got during the pandemic and it has overwhelmed so much. The Tot has brought people together to take care of these creatures humans have stuck in a bad situation. Laulaugh
- Keep or Merge as Tater Tot the kitten may have been an internet fad, but there could possibly be more coverage of him. More importantly, Tater Tot the kitten brought the rescue Kitty CrusAIDe to the light and if there will not be more news of Tater Tot specifically, perhaps there will be more of the rescue. If this Wikipedia page doesn't meet guidelines, perhaps Tater Tot has a place on the Cats and the Internet page as Daxsymbiote said, or maybe a Wikipedia page discussing the rescue, Tater Tot and other popular animals from Kitty CrusAIDe, the owner, and more so Wikipedia does not grow overwhelmed with more submissions as this goes on. Tater Tot was more than an internet fad, however his Wikipedia page lacks most of his information about him, his story, the rescue, Ash, or anything at the moment; I recommend making a page for Kitty CrusAIDe and merging Tater Tot there or to the Cats and the Internet page as suggested above. --Slickster.x (talk) 10:25, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete/Merge As much as I love cats, the only reason why other internet cats have Wikipedia pages is because they have (or had) active presences - anyone can Google Tater Tot and find a plethora of news articles about him, but the fact of the matter is that he was a trend. His owner does not meet WP:NOTE standards either. As you can see above there are a number of contributions here from IP addresses that are not from people who understand how Wikipedia works.

- Delete per nom, does not even achieves WP:SUSTAINED, WP:ONEEVENT, and notability, and here is WP:NOTNEWS. There could be thousands of kittens that die from random causes everyday and we aren't writing an entry for every one of them. It's very likely that once the "fire" of social media virality extinguishes itself, it will be forgotten, but we are left with another useless entry in Wikipedia (see what Wikipedia i‼ for). The argument about "the reach of a random kitten being global" is not sustained, because I didn't even know about of the existence of it until now in Wikipedia, and the acknoledgement of its existence was geographically limited to the region where this kitten lived, or at most the US. Suggested alternative: transfer to WikiNews. --Onwa (talk) 14:30, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- Tater Tot was actually covered extensively, by major news stations throughout the US and internationally, as shown by Google news search, even though you or other individuals might not have seen the coverage. It was not a regional story or even a US only story. Search I did just now brought up articles from Business Insider, Sportskeeda, Hindustan Times, Daily Express, Fox News, Newsweek, Daily Mail, Sacramento Bee, and a number of television networks.TheBlinkster (talk) 19:36, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- I wonder if people are actually reading these NOT essays they are throwing around. For instance the full title of WP:ONEEVENT is "People notable for only one event" (emphasis mine) and has a three-prong test that fails. Similarly WP:NOTNEWS has four sub-points, Original reporting (does not apply); News reports giving examples of routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities (does not apply); Who's who (does not apply); Celebrity gossip and diary (might apply, except it specifically relates to human beings, and furthermore specifically relates to life trivia and not to the entirety of a subject).

- Delete or Merge into something similar to list of Internet Phenomena or celebrity cats. Agree with AryKun, ReyWas92, Ladysif, Candlish and most of the Delete & Merge comments. This article is based on a one-off Internet phenomena/fad of a cute disabled kitten who died and is solely famous for a one-off event, short term churnalism based on that event, and social media posts(such as the ones in the Facebook group a few dozen IP editors came from). I like cats and animals but if every cat or animal that’s gone viral(even with RSes) for just one small event/fad were to be made into a Wiki article, there’d be hundreds of articles. The intersection between cats and culture and the internet is already well established and touched upon in two articles, Cats_and_the_Internet, Cultural_depictions_of_cats the former which could be merged to. This article does not warrant enough notability to be it’s own article. Also, based off reading this discussion I think that articles like Jorts_(cat) and Pot_Roast_(cat) based on largely non-notable one-off fads should be merged or deleted along with this one. Articles like Grumpy cat satisfy notability due to sustained coverage and interest for a long bit(similar to Doge) and impact on internet culture and memes; Tater tot does not. Alternatively, this could be drafted for a while like Rorshacma said. Also, you IP editors from Facebook and the like should calm down. This discussion and proposal is not a personal attack on Tater Tot, he still has a legacy and impact outside this wiki page. Justanotherguy54 (talk) 05:53, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment It would be good if posters could focus more on the AFD arguments and less on personal criticism of/ comments about those who do not appear to be regular Wikipedia editors but chose to comment here or on a talk page anyway, probably because they're emotionally invested in the topic. People who do not regularly edit here, often because the technical aspects and processes involved (including this AFD process) are difficult for them to understand, nevertheless often still use Wiki and even contribute money to keep it operating. I'm sure the closer of this AFD will weight comments appropriately taking into account comment quality, context, user experience and all that.

- Advising newcomers and SPAs is not a personal attack or biting. I commented on them because they are so prominent on this page and on the talk page, and they could provide some good arguments regarding this AfD and wiki guidelines like notability, but my opinion is that most have not done that so far. I know some people are understandably quite emotionally invested in this topic(especially those from a facebook group about tater tot), but telling them to calm down so they can focus enough to provide some good discussion and collaboration on this proposal is not an attack.

No evidence anywhere (Google, Google Scholar, Google Books, Newspapers.com, Internet Archive, etc.) that any such case existed, and (as discussed at WT:LAW) it appears that the creator just copy-pasted the then-extant version of another article and changed the details.

- Keep. A search for "Andrew Carnegie"+philadelpia+library turned up multiple useful references. Here's a sample:
- The City of Philadelphia has proposed creating a "Carnegie Library Thematic Historic District"[20].
- The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia has an article about the libraries.[21]
- The National Park Service has an article.[22]
- PhillyHistory.org publishes a a so-called "blog" of history articles by professional historians; this includes an article about Carnegie and the Philadelphia libraries.[23]
- This is not a "blog" in the sense of self-published opinions; reliability-wise, it's like the news blogs some news outlets have.
- The library system has a long history article.[24]
- There's more out there; this is a start.
- I'll note that the sources all indicate the Philadelphia libraries are a special group. We lose that if we merge this list into the state-wide list.

The four deletion discussions involve four different cricketers. I don't follow sports bios very closely, but my sense is that Lugnuts created a lot of bios that may have met the notability criteria at the time (or at least common practice), but since then notability criteria have become stricter. Now many that are little more than stats stubs are being nominated for deletion and generally are being deleted. If that impression is correct, then it suggests there is widespread consensus to delete articles like this. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:42, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Comment. Via Ebsco search, there's a paragraph of plot summary and half a paragraph of analysis specific to that novel by C. K. Breckenridge in Critical Survey of Science Fiction & Fantasy Literature (3rd edn), 3/1/2017, p5-7. The series is very popular, so I'd be surprised if there were not offline reviews of all the individual novels.At very least it is a viable redirect to the article on the series.ETA: Detailed online review by Jo Walton at Tor.com [25]; another offline by Carolyn Cushman (1993) in Locus, #386 March 1993; another online at SFReviews.net [26]. Enough for Keep with the supposition that more will probably exist offline. Espresso Addict (talk) 18:55, 8 September 2023 (UTC)- Speedy Keep per criterion #3.
might not be notable
is not a proper deletion rationale; if the nominator is not themself convinced that something is non-notable after reasonable investigation per WP:BEFORE, then there is no reason for deletion articulated. Jclemens (talk) 20:58, 8 September 2023 (UTC)- People who like fantasy novels know much better and much more quickly and easily than me whether it is notable or not - I just brought it to their attention. Many articles which have been tagged unsourced for that many years are not notable, and if such a draft article had been submitted this decade it would have been immediately rejected. Thanks to @Espresso Addict everyone now knows it is notable. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:48, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Duplicate of previously deleted article; fails WP:GNG and doesn't satisfy any listed item for WP:NARTIST. (For reference, here is the previous deletion dicussion[27]). The article subject is an anonymous twitter artist. As noted in the previous deletion discussion and in WP:BEFORE, the most substantive citations are the same articles from the The Daily Dot [28][29] referencing reddit and twitter posts. Per WP:RSP and previous deletion discussion, The Daily Dot is of dubious credibility. Of the other sources that might satisfy WP:SIGCOV, is a Bitcoin.com article[30] heavily referencing the subject's twitter account (and a similar article[31] seemingly written by a non-English speaker or A.I.).

This list is unencyclopedic and incredibly ambiguous in its inclusion criteria. The fact that participatory democracy, giving advice, sociology, dairy farming, and anime (all unsourced) co-exist on a list with hundreds of entries should be evidence enough of this point. This page either needs wholesale deletion (as was done in 2009) or major restructuring with clearly-defined and verifiable criteria -- something that is probably impossible given the open-ended nature.

- Keep, and require inline citations for every entry.
- This meets WP:NLIST readily as hobbies are very frequently discussed in-depth as a group in reliable sources. (eg. here are some books dedicated to the topic [32][33][34][35]...).
- It also fulfills WP:LISTPURP doubly.
- It's an informational list grouped by theme.
- It's also a navigational list as an index of hobbies on Wikipedia.
- Given that it is already split into sections, it comfortably meets WP:SALAT. This also means it could be easily split into a WP:List of lists including such lists as the nom's suggestion of List of collection hobbies.
- The only problem highlighted this list is that there may be subjective opinion in it due to the lack of citations on some entries. We can readily resolve that by requiring inline citations for each entry. —siroχo 16:49, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- For clarity, you are saying that the list is fine if we can find a single reference for each item in the list which describes how an someone treats each specific activity as a hobby? You realise that's probably absolutely everything and that it will result in a page with hundreds of references, right? JMWt (talk) 19:37, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for asking, that's not what I'm saying, no. Requiring inline citations to reliable sources is a way to improve this list incrementally, right now. If the criteria is still too wide, we can require RS with SIGCOV of each entry as a hobby, multiple RS, etc. There's lots of approaches to improving this list, and I've suggested one that immediately addresses the core of the current issue raised. —siroχo 19:56, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

The page could contain almost unlimited entries long with an associated thousand references - for no real gain or value. JMWt (talk) 09:39, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- @JMWt: a lot of people would, myself included; that's why I stumbled upon it. The article has +100k views just from the last 30 days, it's clearly an useful list. I suppose it's mainly used to look for new hobbies to pickup. The Blue Rider 12:37, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

- The views do matter to demonstrante utility of the page. None of WP:DIRECTORY's clauses fall into this; hobbies are an wildly discussed topic by many reliable sources. An article in a bad state doesn't merit a deletion (WP:DINC).The Blue Rider 14:49, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- It is a
simple listin[g] without contextual information showing encyclopedic merit.
It's just a jumble of verbs and activities, most of which are unsourced. I would be fine with cutting off anything without a reliable source but even then, most sources as to what a "hobby" is are directories of hobbies. Utility isn't a goal of Wikipedia -- a hypothetical List of 20 best vegan spots in Portland, Oregon might get significant views, but it's not a page that fits with our encyclopedic goals.

- @JMWt: a lot of people would, myself included; that's why I stumbled upon it. The article has +100k views just from the last 30 days, it's clearly an useful list. I suppose it's mainly used to look for new hobbies to pickup. The Blue Rider 12:37, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- What is the purpose of the page? Who is going to a page to discover whether any particular activity is considered (by an en.wiki editor) to be a hobby? The page could contain almost unlimited entries long with an associated thousand references - for no real gain or value. JMWt (talk) 09:39, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

- But that will definitely result in a page with hundreds of references. -- asilvering (talk) 21:56, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for asking, that's not what I'm saying, no. Requiring inline citations to reliable sources is a way to improve this list incrementally, right now. If the criteria is still too wide, we can require RS with SIGCOV of each entry as a hobby, multiple RS, etc. There's lots of approaches to improving this list, and I've suggested one that immediately addresses the core of the current issue raised. —siroχo 19:56, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- For clarity, you are saying that the list is fine if we can find a single reference for each item in the list which describes how an someone treats each specific activity as a hobby? You realise that's probably absolutely everything and that it will result in a page with hundreds of references, right? JMWt (talk) 19:37, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:SALAT. While yes it does satisfy NLIST, it's just far too broad to be manageable. The majority(?) of human activities can be hobbies. Under educational hobbies, you could place every field of knowledge. All but the most specialized sports can be hobbies (I doubt there are any hobbyist cliff divers.), and so on and so on. Hobby categorizes them by general type, and that is all that is practical. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:07, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- P.S. As for the OP's suggestion of List of collection hobbies, we already have List of collectables, which covers the same area. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:11, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Clarityfiend: I don't see how the breadth is any greater than that of Lists of occupations. BD2412 T 03:53, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- List of occupations is a list of lists; and many of said lists have the same problems I identified with List of hobbies (also, see WP:WHATABOUT). MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!(talk or whatever) 06:58, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- I believe the number of leisure activities is significantly greater than that of occupations. In fact, many occupations can be hobbies; examples from the list include tanning (leather), being a blacksmith, woodworking, mechanics (though I doubt the person who added that to the list meant the area of physics). Practically every human activity is pleasurable to someone. (I draw the line at Wikipedia editing, though; that's not a hobby, it's a disease or obsession.) All toys (Rubik's Cube), games (poker), fads (hula hooping), social activities (Model United Nations?), etc. qualify, based on how this list is set up.

"fire at the target until someone hits it" type of deletion attempt
. This is further reinforced by the nominator reopening the AfD and pinging two of their friends. The Blue Rider 10:31, 6 September 2023 (UTC)- Hopefully every Wikipedian is a friend of every other Wikipedian. They are a fairly rare breed, requiring care and feeding. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:03, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- I pinged them (including one admin!) because they asked me to re-open the AfD according to policy (one cannot withdraw a deletion nomination if there are delete votes, a policy I was not aware of.) I am the one who closed the AfD in the first place, after all, and it's not like someone else closed it and I re-opened it because I wasn't satisfied. Assume good faith and refrain from making accusations against other editors.
- In any case, it has been deleted in the past and was re-made. The last nomination was over a decade ago. Also, Wikipedia is not a directory, and being a "perfectly good navigational list" isn't meaningful here. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!(talk or whatever) 14:10, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- @The Blue Rider If you need the context for the ping, it's here: [36]. -- asilvering (talk) 21:20, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- The first nomination was a delete, and that was back in 2009 when people tended to be a lot more permissive of this stuff. The second nom was a fast withdrawal without much input. The third nom should have been closed as "no consensus" rather than a "keep".

- Nuke it from orbit (it's the only way to be sure). I find the pleas of "valid navigational list" wholly inadequate. As has been pointed out, practically any activity a human being can perform can be on this list. Requiring a source that explicitly calls something a hobby isn't going to cut it here, as we're even into WP:SKYISBLUE territory. One hobby of mine is ROM hacking. I can't find any specific RS that call it a hobby, but it undoubtedly is one. A quick googlin' finds plenty of other people who say so too, even if we can't get a proper source for it. Exclusion of this would be inappropriate, yet it's just the tip of a giant iceberg, rendering this list so broad as to be useless, per WP:SALAT. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 14:18, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

- Comment, come on, this article is viewed by an average of 3,300 people a day, sometimes many more. WP:COMMONSENSE should apply to such a number, especially if the page serves such a wide navigational purpose (the purpose of most lists). It does need some alphabetical fixes, but aside from that nothing is broken here. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:52, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- My common sense tells me that this list is complete garbo, and has no hope of ever rising beyond complete garbo. The view count is probably due to people simply googling for "hobbies" and Wikipedia's article being the third (for me at least...it will probably be generally similar for others) result, and not people using it for a "navigational purpose". Other sites can perfectly well discuss suggestions for hobbies to try out, and such like. Wikipedia cannot. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 16:00, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

I would love to make this a delete !vote, but there simply is zero policy reasons to support such a decision. Until policy changes, Siroxo is absolutely correct that the proper result is to go full-draconian on required sourcing and leave it alone. Sorry & Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:22, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. I don't think there's anything to say that hasn't already been said, but this list is so broad as to be unencyclopedic. WP:INDISCRIMINATE. In particular, the following line from WP:SELCRIT is telling:
- List of Norwegian musicians would not be encyclopedically useful if it indiscriminately included every garage band mentioned in a local Norwegian newspaper.
- BrigadierG (talk) 16:08, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, on the basis of it being more or less indiscriminate - a list of activities done for enjoyment will be too long to have any use or meaning. It already attempts to list all sports. Potentially any activity could be done for enjoyment. Sionk (talk) 17:08, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep meets WP:NLIST but we should remove every hobby that does not have a citation in the list or add more citations if needed Isla 17:12, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per Siroxo's sound analysis of this list and our policies plus Randy Kryn's common sense observation that readers flock to this list. Yes, it needs citations for entries but deletion ≠ cleanup. Eventually, it should become a list of lists with individual entries, but that's not the task at immediate hand. It meets our policies and guidelines.
- I've been told I need a new hobby so this list will be helpful to me.
- --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 19:30, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per Siroxo, and the general premise that while it's a broad and somewhat loosely defined category there definitely is a core concept here, and ways to use citations to come to a general consensus of which things qualify as hobbies. Looking over a few other similarly broad concepts like occupations, frauds, cuisines and so on. WilsonP NYC (talk) 22:59, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Whoops I butchered my links, which were: List of cuisines of the Americas, List of types of fraud, and Lists of occupations. WilsonP NYC (talk) 23:01, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - Came here expecting to keep per WP:NOTCLEANUP, but the more I think about it, the more it seems like creating working inclusion criteria is impossible. Yes, you can find sources that say "X is a hobby" or "X is some person's hobby" just like you can find sources saying something is a "thing" or an "activity", but that's not sufficient. It's not just that it's subjective (we have lots of lists based on subjective terms -- genres, for example), but that it is only meaningful in its opposition to "professional" in the way it modifies "activity". It's even broader than a "list of jobs" because nearly any job can be someone else's hobby. It's just untenable. Thus delete per WP:SALAT. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:30, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per Rhododendrites and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 21:31, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- Followup comment. First, Rhododentrites really hit the nail on the head with the observation that what makes this one such an odd duck is that "hobby" is just in opposition to "professional". But I also want to again note that for the people clamoring that we just need to include citations...no we don't, per WP:SKYISBLUE. Requiring that you can find some random RS that just happened to mention that so-and-so enjoyed X as a hobby is just going to eliminate things that should clearly be on the list, that no reasonable person is going to object to...and it will also bloat the list with completely pointless sources for things that do have them. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 22:09, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, take a look at User:The Blue Rider's proposed references and they're almost entirely off-handed mentions about something being someone's hobby. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!(talk or whatever) 03:46, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- That's far from the truth, but if you want to strawman my sources do it as you will. The Blue Rider 09:15, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: This is a classic case of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Any number of activities can be considered a hobby. User:Let'srun 12:12, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - I see a lot of folks tagging WP:INDISCRIMINATE in this discussion. To butcher Inigo Montoya's famed quote, "I don't think that policy means what you think it means." INDISCRIMINATE is about providing appropriate context, and it explains four specific reasons that an article should not be created. None of them has any relevance here. You might mean WP:SELCRIT, but (again) nothing in SELCRIT precludes this article. Hobbies are discussed as a group in RSs, and everything listed (according to what I see) is notable enough for a stand-alone article and sourced as a hobby. As I said, I loathe these endless lists, but this one is 100% within policy. When objecting to huge, unwieldy lists, editors have proven that there are specific policies for managing such lists and none for deleting them. "Too big to be managed/reasonable/useful" is another way to say WP:IDONTLIKEIT (and for the record, I don't like it). Cheers, Last1in (talk) 23:08, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- Suggestion - Might converting this into a list of lists be a good compromise? Including things like List of games, List of sports, List of collectables, etc. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!(talk or whatever) 06:15, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- I do think that's a generally good direction for this list to take even with a keep outcome. We'll have to take some care, as List of games may constitute individual hobbies, but we also might want to link to something like Outline of games § Types of games, as some people consider a type of game their hobby. It may suit us to provide a sentence or so of context from RS in some cases.
- There are also some useful categories that could be crosslinked in lieu of a list, eg. Category:Observation hobbies —siroχo 06:51, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Spouse of the president of SingaporeTony Tan. The 2011 AsiaOne piece, "Women behind the men" reads: "The woman behind one of the presidential candidates, Dr Tony Tan, remains elusive. Not much has been written publicly about Dr Tan's wife, Madam Mary Chee Bee Kiang, 70 (right, with Dr Tan). And Dr Tan's office declined this paper's request to interview her, with a spokesman replying via e-mail: "We will not be participating in this project as we believe before Singaporeans is the election of a President...". The article in The Straits Times is mainly a quote of Dr Tan's Facebook post thanking his wife for her "support and encouragement" during their 53rd anniversary. Not much else turns up in searches of Google.sg and Wikipedia Library, except for mentions of her name during official visits with her husband. There isn't enough coverage in independent reliable secondary sources to expand the stub meaningfully (and it seems she prefers to keep it that way for now); does not meet WP:BASIC, let alone WP:GNG.

- Redirect to Tony Tan as {{R from spouse}}. I agree with Cielquiparle's assessment of the suitability of a standalone article, but Tan's article seems better as a target. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 17:01, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - There's no positive contribution to either Wikipedia or general public knowledge by deleting her biography, and no negative drawback to keeping Mary Chee Bee Kiang. None. At the end of the day, she's a national public figure. You may argue that it's a minor role, but she and her position are still national and public, and Wikipedia has generally protected the wives/husbands of national leaders from deletion (aside from a small handful of editors targeting similar Asian biographies and consistently try to delete these biographies). And, for the record, I would have strongly advocated against the deletion/redirect of Mohammed Abdullah Alhabshee, the first man to hold the role, had I known he was up for mass deletion too. Scanlan (talk) 12:43, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- On the contrary, there is no positive contribution to Wikipedia as well for keeping an article that carries no WP:GNG and the same information can be sought for in Tony Tan's article.
- Also, there is no 'mass deletion' here. Only two articles were nominated by me, a Singaporean editor no less. Both are nominated separately so that each article can be evaluated on its own standing. I am pretty much aware of the perception of Asian BLPs being targeted for deletion, but make no mistake, I do not take deletions of articles lightly in general and have had conducted my research with local resources in hopes of shoring up the article. I was unable to find a single mention about Mary Chee that's apart from Tony Tan, that's even with Newslink, a newspaper archive of every article written in Singapore's national papers since 2001. (Access for Newslink is made available through Singapore's national library membership, which is virtually available to all Singaporean citizens and current residents at no or little cost). What I can conclude with my research is that Mary Chee is an extremely private person and was only present to accompany her husband in his official duties when required. She had no authority to exercise or even made use of the inherent intangible influence that a spouse of the President may have. – robertsky (talk) 07:02, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Redirect to Spouse of the president of Singapore or redirect/merge to Tony Tan#Personal life. My argument from the Mohammed Abdullah Alhabshee AFD: "Not notable enough for a standalone article, but there will be people looking for info on this person. Keeping at least the search term will help satisfy these and also solve the WP:GNG issue." still stands on this article. S5A-0043Talk 05:55, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

- Comment. Agree that Tony Tan is the best target for a redirect and have struck my earlier recommendation for the main redirect target above. Yes, if more coverage about Mary Chee is published in reliable independent secondary sources in the future, we could/should convert the redirect back to a standalone article about her then.

Moreover, apart from the event, the person would have to be a low-profile individual and be likely to remain so. She does not meet the definition of a low-profile individual, and several articles discuss her as the potential leader of the opposition (and therefore future prime minister, if the opposition were ever to regain power), so we can't assume that she is likely to be low-profile in the future.
- Essay WP:NOTINHERITED says the argument that "Zubaida Rahman is notable, because she is married to notable person Tarique Rahman" would be a fallacy. But no Wikipedian is making that argument. Being associated with a notable topic does not prevent a person from being notable. The essay goes on to say, "Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG." --Worldbruce (talk) 16:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Zubaida Rahman meets WP:GNG based on independent, reliable, secondary sources [41] and [42]. The first contains significant coverage about her family, education, and political prospects. The second contains significant coverage of the legal case against her and what would have to happen for her to be elected. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:27, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Does not merit a separate article as of now. Seems weird to have a separate article for women's football record attendances when there is not one for football in general. If an article can be created, may it be under one title uniting men's and women's football. However, a merge to List of attendance figures at domestic professional sports leagues#Top women's leagues in total attendance is not inappropriate either.

I would personally remove the sentences about the record women's attendance in Italy and New Zealand unless there are enough reliable sources to verify the record attendances for women's football in other countries.

- Delete Nothing found for this album. "This Is Us" hits on this phrase in google, nothing we can use for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 20:23, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- KEEP.
- User:DanielRigal - "The author shares a name with a member of the band." Indeed, I share TWO - my brother's and my own former legal surname, "Saunders!" We interacted previously on my Talk page at [[48]] where User:Dronebogus was subjecting me to harassment over my writing style as expressed in Talk, objecting to the label "truscum" fallaciously touted as "reclaimed language" in the article on Transmedicalism as HATE SPEECH, which it surely is? What a JERK! (Dronebogus, whoever THAT is!)
- I co-founded the Angry Samoans in 1979, with my name as given at birth, "Kevin [Eric 'Bonze'] Saunders," which my doltish colleagues (including my 4-years elder brother "Metal Mike" Saunders) decided was "Kevin Saunders" on our later releases without bothering to consult me.
- INTERESTING FACTOID: User:UtherSRG or Stacey Robert Greenstein has worked for THREE of MY customers for dataComet, SAIC (Strategic Applications International Corporation), Raytheon (as Hughes Aircraft MS), AND Lockheed Martin (MS, manufacturers of the big Space Shuttle hydrogen tank and now LNG tanks)!
- Now I don't want to cast any aspersions on the character of a person likewise involved in producing products used by the military-industrial complex - Hughes MS produces torpedoes! - is that cool or what? - but it's just conceivable that somebody Stacey knows with Lockheed or somesuch (I have four friends who worked down there in Owego?) suggested he take this down because the ANGRY SAMOANS have always held to an anti-war perspective - except where WAR was absolutely necessary, like say WWII? And on this very album we have my brother's tune "Let's Burn the Flag" - this upsets some people, but the Samoans are in fact at the "artsy" end of the PUNK-ROCK spectrum, what with the fannage for Alien Invasions ("Not of This Earth") and radical free speech and the like? (I was a member of the California Libertarian Party 11th District Executive Committee over "my time in the PUNK-ROCK service" lol 1978-1979. That's me on the far left at 1m17s! With the hair, wearing a DUST ME OFF promotional tee for the Fabulous Thirty Fingers of [DUST]? That's me! I'M NOW A GOVERNMENT-CERTIFIED TRANSSEXUAL! Cool, huh?)
- Yes, I AM Bonze Annette Rose Blayk, barmayden and COMETMONGER. *I* have a COI here? Well… potentially… uh…
- I don't get paid to do this. Sorry, it's a fact! You think this release isn't "notable" because it wasn't reviewed in the New York Times? It's PUNK-ROCK! Released on CD by a noteworthy punk-rock outfit! - Annette bonze blayk (talk) 04:51, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- None of this has anything to do with any of that except that I only saw that this was up for deletion because I still have your User Talk page on my automatic watchlist from before. I had completely forgotten about who you are or why we had previously interacted. I sincerely promise you that my !vote to delete has absolutely nothing to do with you being trans (In fact, I had forgotten that you are) or with that previous, entirely unrelated, issue. Nor is it any sort of value judgement about the quality of the music on the EP, which I have not heard. This is about the notability of the EP, nothing else. Not all music is notable. That doesn't mean it is bad. This is not a slight on you or the band.
- Now, I appreciate that you are angry because you feel that you have been attacked here. I sincerely promise you that this is not the case. Your borderline incomprehensible !vote above does nothing to help your case and I really do think that you need to go back and remove all the personal attacks and irrelevant digressions.
- Anyway, I've looked into the EP a little further and it sounds like Bad Trip Records might actually be Angry Samoans self-releasing. I'm not sure about that but, if so, that would suggest that this EP is less notable than their previous notable releases on Triple X Records.
- If you know of anything that does demonstrate the notability of the EP then please let us know. That is the only thing that might actually affect the outcome here. "Fuck the war" is a fairly generic phrase and that makes it harder to search for coverage of this specific EP. If there is anything that meets WP:RS that we have not found then please do mention it. It doesn't have to be the New York Times. --DanielRigal (talk) 12:11, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

- I have not insulted you. Your !vote was genuinely very confusing. I have no idea why you are talking about military equipment, for example. (Please don't bother explaining it further unless it is directly relevant to the notability of the EP. It doesn't actually matter to the outcome here.) That is all I meant by "incomprehensible". Please go back and edit your !vote to take out the inappropriate/irrelevant parts. As for me editing the article, if I had found any good sources that we could use to demonstrate notability then I would have added it and changed my !vote but I didn't find anything.
- Thanks for confirming that you are the owner of Bad Trip Records. I'm afraid that this is a conflict of interests when it comes to this issue. As the owner of the label, I assume that you kept notes of any media coverage it got? In fact, you might be the one person best placed to know whether there was any. Please let us know about any coverage that the EP received. As I said, it does have to be RS but it doesn't have to be a major publication like the NYT. Specialist music magazines, local newspapers, etc are all potentially valid. --DanielRigal (talk) 13:34, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- Discogs says that this EP was released on Triple X Records. I'm not sure if that was a joint release or separate but, either way, this means that the EP is not entirely self-released and that does address one of my concerns above. I've added that to the article. I don't think it is enough to save it as I still can't find any RS coverage even after adding "Triple X" to the search. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:18, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

- I'm not sure what kind of source is "Constitution of the Snagovian People's Republic, Chapter II. Article 3." supposed to be. Currently the census is citing WP:Original research as it is not allowed to manually merge figures (it would be allowed to separately list the population of the three communes). The sixth source does not talk about a "Snagov region" that Balta Doamnei would be part of, it only says that originally the land in which it is located was property of the Snagov Monastery. The seventh and eighth sources are from a (touristic/ecologist?) company, that's not considered a WP:Reliable source. We need scholars or newspapers talking about this region.
- Though not all regions need to have an article in the first place. Clearly well-defined and widely discussed regions like Northern Bessarabia or Northern Bukovina do not have articles, it is also a matter of WP:Notability. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 11:07, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- This is the link for the fifth source [49], page 337 only mentions "Regiunea Snagov–Moara Săracă", it's been only added here after a search by the author of "Regiunea Snagov", who just added that source because it mentioned the words "Regiunea" (region) and "Snagov" together. The "Snagov–Moara Săracă Region" in that source is a geological region dated to the Early Cretaceous and the Neogene, it does not verify the information regarding the communes that would compose this region. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 11:15, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- I have access to the fourth source [50] through the Wikipedia Library, so I can't put an open-access link. The source doesn't even mention Snagov in its main body, only in a citation. The "Snagov region" is not a discussed topic in that source. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 11:19, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- The third source is a full volume divided in four issues. I searched "Snagov" in all of them [51] [52] [53] [54], the last two don't even mention Snagov, the second only talks about "Snagov; and Gruiu forest districts" in a botanical article and the first are only source citations. This supposed topic is not discussed by any sources and the ones cited do not verify the information in the article. This pretty much a WP:HOAX.

The result was delete. While some editors argued that the article's content could be salvaged by draftifying the page, merging the content into broader articles, or even broadening the scope of this particular article, the opposition of these alternatives was significant enough to the point of lacking consensus to do so.

Fails WP:GNG. All included references read like paid advertisement. I've just removed a couple of links that were direct links to sales sites. This page has been clearly designed for advertising. At the very least this needs WP:TNT. TarnishedPathtalk 06:07, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Per WP:NOTADVERT. I'd not agree with the statement above that "All included references read like paid advertisement", but only because some of the sources don't mention the boots at all, or merely mention them in passing, though apparently being cited for things they don't say. The apparent claim to notability, that these are
one of the first football boots intended for women
is so vague as to be inconsequential (Nike alone seems to advertise 99 different styles of football boots for women [66]), and is directly contradicted by the first source cited - a Guardian piece noting that other companies have been designing boots specifically for women prior to Nike's product. Sources discussing a genuinely-article-worthy subject - the need for sports equipment designed specifically for women - have been co-opted to pad out an article otherwise built around the (closely paraphrased) regurgitation of Nike marketing-speak. AndyTheGrump (talk) 06:20, 8 September 2023 (UTC)- LOL, there was one citation where the only reference to the boot was underneath an image which was literally and advertisement for the boots. I was of half a mind to remove that reference. TarnishedPathtalk 06:52, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- This would've been a great test case for the archival concept permeating WP:VPIL at the moment -- there are a few sources that could be valuably added to Football boot, but not in any sort of broad-scope merge. I'm somewhere between deleting and draftifying at the moment, but I'm really not ideologically a fan of forced draftification, so landing at delete pending further discussion (Kingsif doesn't seem to be online at the moment and may wish for it to be draftified or selectively merged).

- Delete or Draftify: Having read the article and the sources, I agree that this is a TNT-worthy, heavily promotional writeup full of assertions of shaky provenance. That such an article made it to DYK is a profound failure of process. Ravenswing 07:19, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

The sources in the article are a piece by a freelance contributor in the Guardian's women's football newsletter; an invited paper on women's football sports engineering (coauthored by people with clear COIs) that doesn't mention the product; the BBC piece where the only mention of the cleat is in an image caption; a piece in Sky Sports with no byline that is borderline-illiterate in places and clearly regurgitates Nike promotion (e.g. Sky:
The Phantom Luna has a new and innovative circular stud pattern, named the Cyclone 360, which will allow players to move more freely with agility, precision and security on the pitch.
Nike:Phantom Luna features a breakthrough new traction pattern, Nike Cyclone 360, reducing rotational traction and helping players move with agility, precision, and confidence on the field.
); a Forbes contributor piece with egregious comma usage that briefly mentions the product; and slightly later Sky Sports piece (bylined) that just reprints all the promo text about the Phantom Luna from the first piece.

- Let's try a lil' experiment. Several sources don't even mention the Phantom Luna. That makes this a bad article, but makes the content cited to these sources valuable to reuse elsewhere (like Football boot suggested above, or a broad-concept article around women-specific sports equipment). Hence we're not meeting WP:DEL-REASON #4 (
"Advertising [...] without any relevant or encyclopedic content"
). Draftification seems appropriate, but is unlikely to yield anything broad-concept article I'd like to see, and there's nothing to "incubate" because this will likely never be notable. After reading Siroxo's essay on similar AfDs, I think we should instead try a little experiment: keep, boldly move to a new broad-concept title about sportswear designed with women's physiology in mind, and trim the Nike-specific parts to the bare minimum (i.e. keep just the "Background" section). That won't be a great article at first, but it'll be better than nothing, and will IMO better respect the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. Definitely shouldn't have made DYK but let's not overcorrect. DFlhb (talk) 07:34, 8 September 2023 (UTC)- I'd definitely like to hear Siroxo's thoughts here, because this falls right into the sort of messy situation we were talking about at VPIL. I don't think there's a clear 'keep' path here, even in merge or redirect format -- the title isn't too great a redir. But there are usable sources here that can be reappropriated in a much broader context. Vaticidalprophet 07:40, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- A move without leaving a redirect might be appropriate here. IMO the instruments at our disposal for AfD can be too blunt at times. DFlhb (talk) 07:48, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- I haven't dived too deep into this subject, but I am supportive of working towards an article around women's sports equipment. The background section seems quite promising on an initial read through, even citing academic work. Such an article has to start somewhere. Seems like a viable REFUND candidate for this specific purpose. —siroχo 06:23, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Well...are these refs really that valuable? The linked study is coauthored by multiple people affiliated with The Football Association and individual football clubs (including ones directly sponsored and kitted by various footwear brands) as well as sports performance tech companies(*). The study referenced in the BBC source is not yet published and is also industry-sponsored. The comments section of this article also features the remarkably apt contribution
I’m not sure I would like wearing football boots. I’m a Male I just like to check everything out on the Newsround website
I would be more persuaded by research that does not emphasize the need to develop women's fit footwear by people affiliated with the companies making women's fit footwear.(*)Dr Katrine Okholm Kryger, Dr Nicola Brown, Dr Georgie Buinvels and Dr Athol Thomson have received funding from sports technology companies for research purposes. Dr Craig Rosenbloom, Dr Sean Carmody, Ms Alicia Tang, Dr Ritan Mehta, Dr Naomi Datson and Ms Elena Jobson are or have recently worked on elite women’s football for teams sponsored by sports technology companies. Ms Leah Williamson is a professional player and is sponsored by Nike.
JoelleJay (talk) 08:27, 8 September 2023 (UTC)- The refs are garbage. If there was going to be content written elsewhere as suggested it would have to be with different refs. Nothing redeemable here. No baby in the bath water here. Yeet it. TarnishedPathtalk 09:11, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Good point; I skimmed the study but didn't check the Acknowledgements section. DFlhb (talk) 12:13, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- The issue of ACL injuries within woman's football is something that definitely deserves an article. But having done a, admittedly quick, check this article seems to overemphasise footware as the issue. The notable issue,the injuries and the underlying causes of them, is pushed into the background of a shoe article. It's definitely a noteworthy subject that I hope someone picks up, but this article is a very poor way of highlighting it. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 12:15, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah I don't have time to update the section about female predominance at the ACL injuries article, introduce a section about lack of women's boots at the football boot article, or create a focused article, but (as I mention below) we need content about the history of gender disparity in the technical side of sports, too.

With encouragement to create DYK-eligible content, I did what you said: focused on the footwear and put it in a tangential article that probably doesn't meet GNG and I filled out with primary refs heavy with promo. I was agreeing, but suggesting if you want the issue to be done justice on Wikipedia you might have to do it yourself (rather than

- Delete or move to draft. When news stories like the one in the Guardian are used with respect of Indian and South African companies they are described at WP:AFD as advertorials and not accepted as independent sources when assessing notability. So the same should apply to Nike.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:05, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete As creator. When I saw both Guardian and Forbes (subject-expert contributor, acceptable per RSN) coverage on top of a Sky Sports report mention, I had hoped to start a stub or draft. Encouraged to get more women's football hooks onto DYK, I expanded it with info direct from Nike - not a great choice. Either way, the intention was to get coverage of the somehow-revolutionary-in-2023 concept of creating football boots to fit women on here; with admission of my own laziness in expanding to get to DYK, I would have !voted for the above-suggested selective merge of content regarding this lack of football boots for women to a section of that article. Considering the vitriol here towards using industry-sponsored research (a.k.a. most research) as a source, it seems clear that some users would go and remove that so what's the point.

The only ones that give him some coverage that isn't just mentioning his name are the ones about his demise in a plane crash, and even then, not enough coverage to say any of them qualify for attesting WP:GNG. Since monarchy was abolished in Brazil almost 2 centuries ago and there's zero chance that it's ever coming back, the claim of being a pretender to the throne is not noteworthy enough to sustain the article.

- Redirect to House of Orléans-Braganza. A good portion of the article is dedicated to his family, and the rest is mostly his personal life, which doesn't seem notable. The sources as well are mostly about his family or about his death. Listing him in the members of the House and noting his death would suffice in my opinion. Jaguarnik (talk) 07:00, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, I see no reason to delete. A person doesn't have to be super well-known to be notable enough to have an article. There are references about him and they seem like reliable sources. It seems kind of nit-picky and excessively deletionist to delete this article. The article seems too long to redirect to House of Orléans-Braganza, though redirecting would certainly be better than deleting. Vontheri (talk) 13:11, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete it was deleted from Wikpedia in Portuguese per WP:NOTINHERITED. It was previously discussed that it doesn't make sense a line of succession of monarchy doesn't exist anymore for more than 100 years. 1993 Brazilian constitutional referendum is a good example of how irrelevant monarchist movements are in Brazil. It should be deleted per WP:NTEMP because most of the news appeared when he died. Kimbler (talk) 20:58, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

The review notes: "This is a mixture of odds and ends which you can pick up and let drop as you wish, watching this or that as it catches your fancy and then returning to your book, or your woodwork or the ironing. If you are a critic you watch it right through. All five thousand four hundred seconds of it. It has improved quite a lot since BBC-2 started. It runs more smoothly than it did though it still lacks bite. The interviews with the celebrities would be much better if they weren't thanked quite so gushingly for condescending to come. But I prefer my celebrities to be doing that which made them famous rather than chatting to someone else. Unless I lost count, there were fifteen different items in the programme last Saturday. There was something for everybody, as they say. ... All in all a hotch-potch of a programme for dipping into. To watch from beginning to end is too much. But how do you know when to switch on for the items you fancy? You can't. You don't. You have to leave the set on and pop your head round the door now and then, or sit through it."
- Norris, Marjorie (1964-04-30). "Open House". The Stage and Television Today. No. 4333. p. 12. ProQuest 1040496840.
The review notes: "On this first showing, Open House is a sort of elephants' graveyard of all the old discarded television programmes. Like the ghosts in Richard III, they popped up one after another wailing "Remember me!" Of course, a loosely-shaped magazine of this kind needs time to find its feet. It would not be fair to write it off as a failure after the first edition, but some hard thinking will have to be done pretty sharpish if Open House is not to carve itself a deep canyon of bad habits from which no one will be able to escape. Gay Byrne, who I have not seen before, has a pleasant, relaxed charm. But what a struggle the poor man had to inject a little yeast into the soggy dough. The idea of a programme you can pick up and drop whenever you like is a good one—even if it is a dead pinch from radio's Roundabout. ... All the same, the musical numbers were the best features of this programme except when the sets cut performers' heads off. For my money, the star of the show was Joe Brown. This young performer has come on apace in the last year but he must learn not to giggle at his own remarks."
- Otta (1964-05-06). "Foreign Television Reviews: Open House". Variety. Vol. 234, no. 11. p. 47. ProQuest 962676819.
The review notes: "Sport has monopolized Saturday afternoon tv up to now, so the third channel has only to stray from it to provide an alternative. This is what "Open House" sets out to do, in the form of an informal equivalent to the easily flippable magazine or to radio for motorists. It's a show that can be dropped in on, and the only question it raises is whether audiences will treat it just as casually. After all, you can't drive an automobile and watch tv at the same time. ... Producers T. Leslie Jackson and Stewart Morris gave a slick and fast-moving format to the melange, and the chief fault was the general flabbiness of Tony Marriott's script, especially in the linking. The interviews, too, seemed a decade out of date. Columnist Lord Arran came over best in this branch of the program, for he makes a living at being outrageous. Tony Osborne's smooth orchestra gave fine backing throughout, though Osborne should give up winking at the camera. Certainly, it was an alternative in horizontal viewing."

The article notes: "I have only seen one of the Saturday afternoon programmes "Open House," and not all of that, so I will say only that nothing I saw would have brought me in to the set or kept me at it, unless I had been a prisoner, infirm, aged, or a critic. The slow, relentless pottering, the bad jokes, the schoolboy howlers, the silly drawings to illustrate news items, the ineffably coy and cosy air of the whole thing was unbelievable. There did seem, however, to be one useful and interesting idea, that of showing places like the Tower of London and Greenwich with the Cutty Sark. There were details of how to get there and what it cost. But for the most part "Open House" is like a reversion to the oldest days of television when to see anything on the screen at all was a marvel. Let's hope it fascinates all those sport-hating women."

The article notes: "And what an alternative is has been—Open House, up to two hours of ingratiating light entertainment, which has had in its favour only the fact that it was "live," which seems to count for so much in television circles; not that an audience cares. People who watch Saturday afternoon television on BBC1 are watching because they want to see sport, not because they want to watch television. Open House seems to have catered for people who have nothing better to do than watch the box. Its all-grinning, all-jesting presentation from the inevitable black Vynide swivel chair can have done little more than mildly tickle the passing fancy of the sort of audience whose sensibilities have already been dulled by the ad-men. ... The big surprise the real volte-face-comes with the news that Saturday afternoon tele on the second channel is being dropped. Open House, roundly condemned elsewhere, is to go."

- Delete. As always, television shows are not "inherently" notable just because they existed, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on their sourcing — but all I can find on either ProQuest or Newspapers.com is television listings grids and glancing namechecks of this special's existence in sources that aren't about it in any non-trivial sense, which isn't the kind of sourcing we need to see.

- I want to be clear this was not an in-depth search. This is the tip of the iceberg here. Sorting out individual notable ones seems unhelpful and a likely TRAINWRECK so I defer to WP:NOPAGE:
