Ma Hunkel: 🍕 Boneless Pizza! 🍕 ( 🔔 ) 06:24, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements and Comics and animation . 🍕 Boneless Pizza! 🍕 ( 🔔 ) 06:24, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : The nominator doesn't account for the existing reliable sources cited in the article: Superhero: The Secret Origin of a Genre by Peter Coogan (2006), American Comic Book Chronicles: 1940-1944 by Kurt Mitchell and Roy Thomas (2019), and American Comic Book Chronicles: 1965-1969 by John Wells (2014). These published sources demonstrate notability for the character. Toughpigs ( talk ) 17:46, 25 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong keep. Sources abound. This character has a notable place in history as DC's first costumed superhero even if she was a parody. When the nominator "couldn't any relevant source per BEFORE" [I assume the missing word was "find"], where exactly did the nominator look? The article includes some excellent sources already. For example, many scholars treat Peter Coogan 's book as the definitive work on exactly what a superhero is. Did the nominator search for Red Tornado? (I realize it can be difficult to distinguish references to her from mentions of the modern android version of the Red Tornado.)

Season of the Sakura: Fails the general and game-specific notability policies. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:04, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Literature , Video games , Computing , and Japan . UtherSRG (talk) 18:04, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete It's likely that the vast majority of any coverage is in paper sources, given the game's age. But, the article creator never included any and the WP:BURDEN is on the maker of an article to prove notability. In English, there is very little to be found, with Mobygames only listing a single contemporaneous review. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 18:52, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment. I was able to find is a >200 word review in dead tree magazine, Animeco #9 Winter 1998, page 31-32. Magazine has an editor-in-chief/masthead. — siro χ o 19:59, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment BugBug , a Japanese adult gaming magazine, appears to have a spread's worth of coverage (a lot of it NSFW images) in its June 1996 issue, pages 56-57. Dunno about its reliability, but from Google searches it's claimed to be one of Japan's longest-running gaming magazines. -- Laukku TheGreit ( Talk • Contribs ) 09:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - In addition to the two sources Laukku found above, I found additional coverage in the Spanish print magazine Loading Extra #3, pg. 24-27. Honestgamers published a review of the game (note: outlet seems to be marked as "situational" at WP:VG/S , not sure how this would affect a game review where subjectivity is expected). This game was bundled as part of the JAST USA Memorial Collection, where slightly more coverage of it can be found. Season of the Sakura also appears to have been one of the subjects in The Impact of Telepresence on Cultural Transmission through Bishoujo Games. , a 2005 paper published on behalf of Temple University. It seems to me that there are sources out there, they just need to be integrated into the article.

Cups (suit): They should be merged if they have anything new. Dicklyon ( talk ) 06:15, 13 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Games-related deletion discussions . Dicklyon ( talk ) 06:15, 13 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge all 4 (as nom) using the old names, including moving Suit of goblets back to Suit of cups , where it was before Bermicourt made a disambig to distinguish his new from the old; they should really be one. Dicklyon ( talk ) 06:31, 13 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This copied-and-pasted rationale is visibly faulty. Cups (suit) is not a duplicate of Suit of cups . The latter is a disambiguation between Cups (suit) and Suit of goblets . And those two are not duplicates on their faces, either. Cups (suit) is (it says) about playing cards and Suit of goblets is (it says) about Tarot cards. Uncle G ( talk ) 09:17, 13 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep but do not merge . These are two distinct topics. Although occultists based their suits on those of the Italian pattern of playing cards, they broke away over 200 years ago to produce their own packs purely for cartomantic purposes. So the article on the suit of cups is specifically about the playing cards, whereas the one on the suit of goblets is purely about cartomantic cards. They have different designs and uses with almost no crossover. The same is true of batons and wands, coins and pentacles, etc. We have been slowly untangling the mess caused by combining them, but there is more to do. They could all be named Foo (suit) or we could make it clear by calling them e.g. Foo (playing card suit) and Foo (cartomantic suit). HTH. Bermicourt ( talk ) 16:52, 14 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] OK, I relent and sorry I didn't find how best to do all 4 at once. Feel free to close 'em.

Actualcpscm ( talk ) 21:26, 14 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep: I don't think the electoral commissioners meet WP:NPOL on its face, but I do think it highly likely that the 3 Election Commissioners of India are notable. There are only 3 of them and they appear to oversee elections in one of the most populous democracies. That being said, someone does need to expand and improve this article. The current sourcing may meet WP:GNG , but there isn't much actually written with the sources in the article.

This is likely a real place, but a line in a census isn't enough for a separate article. The only geographic claim is vague, unsourced, and as best I could check fails verification. GNS is very sketchy and I don't know what other source we would use to reliably source the location. I assume all these issues are going to be ignored and the article we be kept as-is, but really we need to stop keeping junk permastub articles just to satisfy a guideline which people complain about constantly. Mangoe ( talk ) 12:59, 15 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Whether you think it's a "bad guideline" or not is irrelevant. It is one. Some people complain about it. Many people support it.

Ingibjörg Hakonsdóttir of Orkney: Notability is entirely based on family. Lots of mentions, nothing with SIGCOV. No objection to a consensus redirect to Óláfr Guðrøðarson .

I was waiting for people with more knowledge on the subject to fill it in also because I personally didn’t know what to put because I didn’t know the intimate details of their life.

JoelleJay ( talk ) 20:04, 20 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ JoelleJay just to note the AfD is proposed for two people Ingibjorg AND Ragnhildis Olafsdottir , so I think there's two separate discussions to be had. Lajmmoore ( talk ) 07:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm not convinced on Ragnhildis. The Moore source has a passing mention in one clause of one sentence on her; Ellis just says she was the daughter of Olaf of Man and wife of Somerled with no other details on her; Williams says basically the same thing while also mentioning a claim that she was daughter of Ingibjorg. I can't access McDonald, but if it's also just repeating genealogy without any coverage of her then my ! vote would be to redirect both articles.

TSventon ( talk ) 17:45, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep for Ragnhildis Olafsdottir - I think there's sufficient evidence from sources Moore, Ellis, Williams and Macdonald to show that she is significant in the wider historiography. This article may also be helpful to support this, but I do not have access. (Note: I've not looked in detail at Ingibjörg's article yet.) Lajmmoore ( talk ) 07:57, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Nothing much in that linked article, I'm afraid. It's basically this sort of thing: "Somerled himself married Ragnhild, a daughter of King Olaf of Man, and through this marriage was the founder of a vigorous family of Hebridean sea-kings." -- asilvering ( talk ) 19:51, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect for Ingibjörg Hakonsdóttir of Orkney (although I'm not anti- keep ) - the issue for me is that although the article is well-sourced, the majority of those are primary sources, and secondary sources are required to demonstrate notability. This mentions Ingibjörg in more detail, but in the absence of wider research (a problem with Viking Studies in general) it's difficult to make a more substantive case. I empathise @ AvailableViking : as I remember clearly how it feels when you're making your first contributions and things don't work out. Thanks so much for your hard work on these Lajmmoore ( talk ) 08:30, 22 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect (or merge) somewhere. There is nothing in this article but genealogical information, with which I see no issue over the truth of the content, but she was not separately notable. My preferred target is her husband Óláfr Guðrøðarson (died 1153) , but any of the other suggested targets would do. Peterkingiron ( talk ) 14:20, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] There is two articles on this talk page AvailableViking ( talk ) 15:59, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect Ingibjörg to Óláfr Guðrøðarson (died 1153) ; the material may be well sourced, but what's in there is nothing but genealogy, easily incorporated into other articles. We do not address systemic bias in any way by keeping a bare-bones stub; the subject's significance is better presented as part of an article that would gain more views. Keep Ragnhild; while only marginally better, there is a genuinely independent claim to notability there (which could honestly be explained somewhat better), and content that does not easily fit into any of the more clearly notable articles linked.

Rager7 ( talk ) 22:53, 17 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . Can someone ! voting to keep please link the best three pieces of SIGCOV for each? Notability is not inherent or inherited, so it is irrelevant what subnational "noble status" someone had. There is also no consensus anywhere that allows editors to decide an ancient subject "would have had an article in their time" (how does that make any sense!) or even that coverage would have existed. The requirement for an article is the current existence of SIGCOV in IRS, which does not include mentions in genealogies or other coverage exclusively in the context of relatives. I have not seen a single in-depth source here; everything has been trivial mentions or, at best, a few sentences describing a lineage that leads back to the subject(s)--nothing that actually discusses the subject's life . JoelleJay ( talk ) 01:03, 18 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , @ Tagishsimon and @ Knightoftheswords281 make good arguments which I second. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO! ( talk or whatever ) 03:25, 22 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong keep Ragnhildis Olafsdottir , Keep Ingibjörg Hakonsdóttir of Orkney First, these are those articles that take a lot of research to start - well done, AvailableViking . Someone could write 1000 words of Pokemon stuff in the time it takes to carefully research and write one paragraph of medieval Kingdom of the Isles history. Personally, I prefer the history. This is material that comes from books, not articles; it's worth considering what "passing mention" means in that context. So many of our articles are referenced using dedicated one or two page modern news articles. A one page news article that mentions a person in passing does not establish notability. Just one page of text in a 500 page history might technically be a passing reference (given its percentage of the book's content) but it's plenty to establish notability and build an article. So @ AvailableViking can you tell us about how much those sources at the bottom of the two articles say about each subject? Ingibjörg's article lists 9 sources , Ragnhildis's lists 6 sources . Since Ragnhildis Olafsdottir as the wife of Somerled was the "cause of the collapse of the entire kingdom of the Isles" as one historian said, I'd say she was a big deal. The Kingdom of the Isles lasted several centuries and consisted of every island off the coast of Scotland from Man to the Shetlands. See the section about the Somerled era in our Kingdom of the Isles article. Precedent: about a third our articles on Scandinavian Scottish nobles are as terse as our Ingibjörg article and most do not list 6 or 9 sources at the bottom of the article. Here are some examples; I encourage taking a quick look: Sumarlidi Sigurdsson , Paul Haakonsson , David Haraldsson , Magnus II, Earl of Orkney , Jón Magnússon, Earl of Orkney , Magnús Jónsson, Earl of Orkney , Máel Muire ingen Amlaíb , Ásbjǫrn skerjablesi , Neit All are important even if we don't know much interesting detail about their lives. The same is true of Ingibjörg and Ragnhildis. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 00:50, 24 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Looking around some more, I see our article about Óláfr Guðrøðarson (died 1153) has interesting material about Ingibjörg that could be added to our Ingibjorg article. See Óláfr Guðrøðarson (died 1153)#Alliances . Óláfr had two wives; Affraic was his second. These marriages were closely associated with regional power politics and scheming. Ragnhildis gets a mention, too. This material is well-referenced and foot-noted. A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 01:36, 24 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes i have noticed there was information from Olaf the reds article about this someone just need to transfer the sources, references and information to help add on to Ingibjörg's article. AvailableViking ( talk ) 02:56, 24 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Going back to Óláfr Guðrøðarson (died 1153)#Alliances at the bottom of that section about the marriage not being official and it coming before Olafs other marriage, that could be added as a section to Ingibjörg's article which would definitely add some more content to the article.

Right-wing terrorism: Any content that isn't irredeemably biased belongs there along with all other political terrorism material. This page should be deleted and set to redirect to Political terrorism. This has been previously discussed at AfD and the consensus was overwhelmingly for a delete. AlanS talk 09:26, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politics and Terrorism . AlanS talk 09:26, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep It's not a fork of political terrorism. As pointed out in Terrorism#Types , it is one type of political terrorism. The article is referenced to reliable sources that define the topic, and it is used as a category by reliable sources such as the Brookings Institute, [24] the Council on Foreign Relations, [25] the Guardian, [26] and many other sources. Right wing terrorism is distinguished from other types of political terrorism not only by its objectives, but also the its organization, types of targets chosen and other factors. While the original article was deleted in 2006, it was a stub article that was original research. TFD ( talk ) 09:54, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I hear what you're saying, but the problem with calling things "left-wing" or "right-wing" is very much issue of perspective, a point of view. For example if you're in the United States most of the population might refer to the Republicans as "right-wing" and the Democrats as "left-wing", whereas a lot of the rest of the world (the other 7.5 billion of us) would probably say that both US parties are very definitely hard-right. It's all a matter of perspective. So when you start calling things "left-wing" or "right-wing", whether you like it or not you're taking a perspective. There is no objective position on this. AlanS talk 15:23, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , seems like a fine WP:SPINOFF given content length of related articles, does not appear to be a POVFORK.

Leifern ( talk ) 10:55, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Meets all criteria for a separate article. Addressing the AFD rationale, this is a "sub article" (rather than a POV fork) on a topic that is so huge that it needs sub-articles. North8000 ( talk ) 14:10, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Given the difficulty in pinning down the specific meaning of "right wing" or "left wing" it is easy to misidentify the motivations, goals, or even actors. I am aware that this article is regarded to be well-developed, but I am also supporting the destruction of the Left Wing Terrorism article for the same reasons (though that article does not seem to be held in the same regard). It seems to me that deleting left wing without deleting right wing would harmfully bias the project of creating an encyclopedia with a neutral point of view. commie ( talk ) 14:28, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Defining left or right wing is not an issue for these articles because the books and articles that discuss these topics define what they mean as part of their definitions. It's like wanting to delete Southern American English because southern can mean different things to different people. But it's not an issue because books about Southern or American English define what they mean by Southern American.

Delete - Let's take this for example, which is one of the items listed - 2009 shooting of Pittsburgh police officers . I don't see how an incident stemming from an argument over a dog urinating in a house has political ramifications. There's also no sources listed for either of these on the list: Murder committed by John Ditullio, Murder of homeless man by Aryan Soldiers, Tri-state killing spree by white supremacists David Pedersen and Holly Grigsby, Murder of MeShon Cooper-Williams, Murders of Danny and Deanna Lorenzo and Black man burned by White supremacist. KatoKungLee ( talk ) 14:49, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Having checked the first three of those cases, all are included in the cited source . They're all listed in the chart under the header "Number of People Killed in Deadly Attacks in the Post-9/11 Era, by Ideology". It's possible to dispute whether that source's assessment that those people are terrorists with far-right ideology is precisely the same as being a far-right terrorist, but that seems like the sort of thing which should be solved through our normal mechanisms. At any rate, the fact that it's possible to dispute whether some entries on the list really should be included is not really a compelling argument that the article as a whole needs deletion. Caeciliusinhorto-public ( talk ) 14:57, 2 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete along with Left-wing terrorism , merge both into Political terrorism .

We shouldn't be shy of having articles on controversial or contested concepts, so long as there is appropriate context. Warofdreams talk 20:55, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep As long as this is focused on the broader aspect of the term with a few well-agreed on examples from academic sources, this is a reasonable article. Google scholar gives tons of hits so it is a clearly notable term. Now, whether this should be merged into Political terrorism is another story, which is a fair option, but that should be discussed separately. -- M asem ( t ) 13:52, 30 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep There can be no doubt that the subject is notable. I don't see any point in merging it as it's a notable subject in its own right. I agree with those suggesting it should not be used as a list but just include a few notable examples. It needs to be sourced on multiple clearly reliable sources. Doug Weller talk 10:58, 31 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong keep Some topics are complex and have many subtopics, so you need different articles about related things.

The argument that you can't define left- and right-wing would mean TNTing a huge swatch of articles because, like it or not, that split is ubiquitous in modern sources and has been for roughly two centuries. Most of the other valid arguments are opportunities to improve this article, Political terrorism , or Terrorism itself, not for deleting the article. Cheers, Last1in ( talk ) 13:09, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment I do not see any policy based reasons for deletion for the two articles on left and right wing terrorism. The topics' notability is established by the academic sourcing. Some of the delete voters seem to think that the articles' content is based on what editors consider to be left or right wing. But the sources say the perpetrators' objective must be establishing a socialist/communist state or a fascist/rw authoritarian state respectively. The literature explains how ideology determines the types of participants, their choice of targets and other features. While the terms left, right and terrorism may be ambiguous, it is an etymological fallacy to assume that means terms using those words must also be ambiguous.

I spent about an hour trying to find WP:SIGCOV prior to this being taken to AFD. You can see my comments on the nominator's talk page as we discussed this before taking it to AFD. I looked at over two dozen critical reviews, and while there are many reviews of the operas she has been in, she is only mentioned in passing or not at all in those reviews. Likewise on reviews of her recordings. The most we get is a single sentence (two at most; and those are rare) with a general critique of her performance. For example, The Guardian review only mentions her name in the title list of leading singers but never actually talks about her contribution to the recording. This is not in-depth. The only in-depth independent source is the first source cited, Opern News magazine article. If a couple more sources of this latter kind are found that would prove WP:MUSICBIO and WP:SIGCOV are met. Please ping me if sources with in-depth independent coverage are located and I will gladly change my vote to keep. 4meter4 ( talk ) 00:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per WP:SINGER #6 "having performed two lead roles at major opera houses." -- Michael Bednarek ( talk ) 02:41, 11 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes there is that SNG, but I honestly think that we need to deprecate that in the same way that the RFC on WP:NSPORTS deprecated many of its similar SNG language. We really shouldn't be building articles on singers that can't meet WP:SIGCOV for verifiability reasons; particularly on BLPS per Wikipedia:BLPSOURCES . 4meter4 ( talk ) 04:31, 11 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Your opinion that that SNG should be deprecated does not mean that that SNG no longer applies. What is not verifiable about this article? BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 19:15, 12 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I never said that SNGs don't apply. SNGs by their nature often contradict other policies, which is why they are often contentious at AFD. It’s perfectly fine to make a claim to notability using an SNG. It’s also equally fine to criticize the SNG for being a bad policy because it doesn’t align with other policy language elsewhere. There have been many RFCs over SNG language, and several of them have led to policy changes that have→ deprecated certain SNGs within the the last five years. I think it’s reasonable to point to those RFCs as an example of how in certain content areas we have moved towards requiring more in-depth coverage. The need to re-examine our policies only gets established if people start raising that issue in discussions at AFDs. That’s what happened in the NSPORTS case prior to the NSPORTS RFC. Best. 4meter4 ( talk ) 20:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes, you are allowed to criticize SNGs, but your opinions of the SNGs are not valid reasons to delete an article passing it; neither is the fact that other SNGs being deprecated sufficient reason for overriding this currently standing and completely valid SNG to delete this well-done article. BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 23:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] BeanieFan11 Not true. Per WP:SNG " Articles which pass an SNG or the GNG may still be deleted or merged into another article, especially if adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found, or if the topic is not suitable for an encyclopedia. " Those calling for deletion are making a valid argument that this particular article lacks adequate sourcing. The main issue of contention here is whether a bunch of low level not in-depth coverage constitutes "adequate sourcing". Those of us voting delete are specifically making the argument that it does not constitute adequate sourcing, which is a valid reason to override an SNG per SNG policy. 4meter4 ( talk ) 23:41, 12 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] May be, not required to be. The guideline was never intended to get rid of well-done articles like this. In what way is Wikipedia benefited by deleting here? BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 23:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] In my view, this is likely a case of WP:TOOSOON where the subject is likely to prove notability in the future, and we have simply jumped the gun and created an article before the independent sources have come into existence that contain in-depth coverage. I think it's best practice to wait to write articles on BLPs when we have a minimum of two in-depth sources for a variety of reasons; many of them articulated at WP:NOT , WP:VERIFIABILITY , WP:BLP , and WP:OR . One of the major issues in this article is that the majority of the biographical content is cited to PR materials written by talent management and PR firms for theaters, opera houses, etc. It's not best practice to build articles on BLPs from materials of this kind. We do the encyclopedia a disservice when we don't uphold quality standards that emphasize building biographical content within biography pages from independent materials. Not doing so, allows wikipedia to become a tool of promotion for talent management and PR firms, which ultimately creates a conflict of interest between wikipedia's goal of building an encyclopedia, and the potential to use wikipedia for other motives. One of our best means of quality control in terms of both verifiability and maintaining NPOV is making sure we build articles from independent sources with in-depth coverage. That's why we have WP:GNG . Best. 4meter4 ( talk ) 00:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] As far as I can tell, only six of the 21 references in the article are from Hinterdobler's opera houses? What parts of the article are not verifiable or original research? BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 15:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes and they also are the most used sources, which verify over half of the article including almost all of the biographical information. The other sources only verify specific roles in specific opera performances. Asserting "only six" doesn't actually look at what information and how much of that information is coming from those non-independent marketing materials. If you can't see the ethical problem here for using marketing tools to verify a BLP article I don't know what to say further. We have two very different ideas about the ethics of editing and sourcing articles on BLPs. 4meter4 ( talk ) 15:59, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep . I noticed that one of the two cited references for her Eva in Die Meistersänger , in Online Merker , includes 3 or 4 lines on her performance, both vocally and in characterisation, calling it "ein starkes Plus" (a definite plus). A search for other reviews in the same publication yielded other critiques of a similar length: "debutierte als Chrysothemis glanzvoll ... Das wird eine große Rolle für sie werden!" (made a glittering debut as Chrysothemis ... This is going to be a major role for her!) —we cite this role only from the Frankfurt Opera's summary professional bio noting her stagecraft as Susanna in Le Nozze but "vokal wirkt sie an diesem Abend strapaziert" (vocally, this evening she gave an impression of strain) —we don't mention this role a review of her Dorella in Das Liebesverbot in 2013 that she may want to forget, "quält sie sich ohne zuverlässigen Stimmsitz und ohne tragende Resonanz durch Wagners Noten" (tortures herself through Wagner's notes without reliable pitch or sustained resonance) —we don't mention this role either. There are also briefer mentions that are not mere listings of who sang which role: "eine resolute, selbstbewusste Eva" (a resolute, self-confident Eva) ; "auch die 'kleinen' Walküren ... Magdalena Hinterdobler, die auch die Gutrune sang, ... sangen ansprechend" (the 'lesser' valkyries too, ... Magdalena Hinterdobler, who also sang Gutrune, ... were equal to their roles) —this compressed Ring is also not in the article. I suspect there are similar short reviews of her performances in other magazines and newspapers, and the article isn't reflecting that coverage because of a desire to focus on her leading roles, use English-language sources where possible, and / or avoid negative coverage. From the point of view of notability, however, I believe that mass of small stuff about her, together with at least one extended biographical article (I don't see the Frankfurter Allgemeine cited anywhere; has anyone searched there for coverage of her joining the company?), puts her over the top. Yngvadottir ( talk ) 02:55, 11 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep we have enough for WP:BASIC . Artists are known for their work and this soprano also meets WP:SINGER . Lightburst ( talk ) 14:13, 11 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Lightburst can you please identify more than one source with "significant coverage" to meet WP:BASIC . The whole point of the nominator is that there is only one (not multiple sources) with significant independent coverage. Both Yngvadottir and myself have confirmed this is the case which is why I voted delete. Yngvadottir was able to locate several reviews mentioning the subject in one or two sentences but specifically stated they didn't contain significant coverage. Asserting that BASIC is met is just not true with the current sources in evidence. You are the only commenter here asserting BASIC is met, and you have provided no evidence to substantiate that argument. Basic states, "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published[4] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[5] and independent of the subject.[6] Please produce a second source with significant coverage. 4meter4 ( talk ) 16:04, 11 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The next section after BASIC reads People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. and A person who does not meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability. You do not need coverage to prove notability, you can meet a subject specific guideline instead. D r e a m Focus 16:17, 11 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Yes. You don't need to repeat yourself Dream Focus . I am aware of the SNG guideline. That still doesn't change the fact that BASIC isn't met which is why you yourself made an argument based on criteria 6 of WP:SINGER . That's fine if that is the WP:CONSENUS opinion. I personally am of the opinion that criteria 6 of SINGER is a poor predictor of notability, runs afoul of WP:BLPSOURCES policy, and is so subjective in its meaning and interpretation that it isn't a well crafted policy. After this AFD closes, regardless of the outcome, I am considering creating an RFC along the lines of Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Sports notability which deprecated similar SNG language for athletes. In my opinion BASIC should be our guide. We need at least two sources with in-depth independent coverage to build an article on any BLP in my opinion to meet the spirit of our policy guidelines at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons . 4meter4 ( talk ) 16:31, 11 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] My rationale stands and we disagree so please observe WP:COAL and I will do the same.

Oaktree b ( talk ) 00:41, 12 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Oaktree b I would disagree with that assessment. There are hundreds (perhaps thousands) of more significant singers with biographical entries in music encyclopedias that have been resident performers at Oper Frankfurt during its nearly 250 year long history. If we were to look through the Großes Sängerlexikon for example or The Grove Book of Opera Singers I would imagine we could compile a list of more than a thousand singers who were at one time or another employed by Oper Frankfurt as a resident artist; and all of those would be encyclopedic by virtue of being in an encyclopedia. If we are going to start covering indiviudal singers in an opera company article it should be the most prominent ones. Hinterdobler is a rather minor figure from an institutional point of view, and currently the article doesn't talk about any of its artists from a historical framework. It would be WP:UNDUEWEIGHT . A company like Oper Frankfurt at any given time employs close to a hundred leading singers in a season ( Currently there are over 90 leading performers with the company between resident and guest artists) They have over 20 operas in their repertory for the 2024-2025 season between revivals of older production and their plans of more than a dozen new productions. Focusing on a single leading artist, particularly one with little coverage, seems inappropriate; particularly when many of their other artists would be high profile artists with lots of WP:SIGCOV . I note that many of the singers currently employed by them have articles, as well as lots of past performers. 4meter4 ( talk ) 01:52, 12 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

I was the editor who promoted the nomination DYK Bruxton ( talk ) 20:00, 12 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : I am the first author, and I don't care if this article is deleted or not. I was pleasantly busy over the weekend, - sorry for being late to this, and thank you all who added to the article!! (That sort of collaboration is Wikipedia as I like it.) My first indicator of whether a singer is notable often is - as you will guess - my own first-hand personal opinion, for this one as for many others. I hope that everybody who has commented will have listened to her speaking and singing , Der Traumgörge . I saw her (only) in that opera, which was sort of a premiere because the conductor says it was the first unabridged rendering of Zemlinsky's music which had been due for performance (and rehearsed) in 1907, but was not given then for anti-semitic reasons, so had a late premiere in 1980. The only other of "my" singer articles suggested to be deleted was Johannes Hill (so I guess my opinion was right so far). I didn't know WP:SINGER but thank Michael Bednarek for pointing that out. It supports my thought that our view on notability should perhaps rely more on what a person factually does (primary), than what others think about what she does (secondary). - For comparison: just imagine we'd require a contemporary review for Bach's cantatas, we'd have an article about one of the around 200 extant. They remained mostly unpublished and unnoticed for a century after he died. - What she does - two leading roles at a leading house - is objective, what others write about it is subjective, and whether we regard what they write as in-depth or not adds another layer of subjectivity. In this particular case, I looked if sources supported my opinion that she is notable, and found enough to nominate for DYK, and obviously enough for the reviewer and for most of the readers that day. I simply had no time to look further for more facts and other sources, sorry about that but it happens with my focus on recent death articles and Bach's cantatas that turn 300 week after week (and real life, Bach cantatas in concert and the pleasant company that comes with it), so I again thank those who did that. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk ) 11:34, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] ps: I went to church yesterday to one that was also up for deletion . -- Gerda Arendt ( talk ) 11:37, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Responses: @ Yngvadottir , thank you for retrieving sources.

As for the Mozart reviews, I never saw them, and Mozart seems to be past for her vocal development; her voice was possibly never ideally suited for singing Mozart. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk ) 13:17, 13 May 2024 (UTC) - I added that review, and also the Chrysothemis review. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk ) 13:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ 4meter4 , I added the Clements review of Die Loreley . I am not surprised that the reviewer of a first recording of an opera by a famous composer deals more with the opera than the singers. The review proves, however, that the recording was noticed internationally. - I have no idea why you'd mark what opera houses say about her - typically just a factual list of roles - as "promotional". The Chemnitz bio had a quote from a review. I added the complete review now. But why would you believe the same quote in the Chemnitz bio was promotional? Again, this review (Spinola) of a world premiere deals more with the piece than the singers. It describes her lead role at length. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk ) 16:01, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Gerda Arendt I already wrote this to you in another discussion. I will copy paste it here: "All work products/publications by a performing arts organization are intended as a tool of promotion as well as a tool for information. Opera companies/theatres are businesses and they have an invested interest in promoting their company/theatre and its performers in order to sell tickets. There is a commercial aspect to the performing arts, and the materials that an opera company/theatre produces for public consumption are directly connected to its commercial interests. This is why we should avoid using sources produced by theatres/opera companies as much as possible. Artist bios are written by paid talent management and PR companies. Most professional singers have a paid agent who specializes in marketing opera singers, and those agents often write the bios hosted on theatre/opera company websites. Or the opera company/theatre itself will have an in house PR/marketing staff member responsible for writing those materials. There is therefore, a direct COI with these kinds of sources because they are written as a marketing tool for commercial gain. When possible, its best not to use PR materials of this type for ethical reasons." If an artist is notable, we shouldn't need to use these materials because the independent significant coverage should be there to source the article. 4meter4 ( talk ) 16:09, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I already responded in that other discussion and also copy paste here: "I don't know what you normally read, but I see that Oper Frankfurt and Hessisches Staatstheater write their own bios, and their own high-class program books. - German opera houses in general are public institutions, financed mostly by tax money." Adding: what in the following Frankfurt bio is promotional and not ethical to be used? "Magdalena Hinterdobler, who sang her first Evas in a new Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg at Oper Frankfurt last winter, joined the Ensemble in the 2023/24 season ..." (cut 14 June, read in source) Not all of this is even used, because I don't like lists of famous orchestras and conductors. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk ) 16:19, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Gerda I'm not going to get in a back and forth. Wikipedia's policies on COI, non-independent sources are well articulated on multiple policy pages. WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT behaviour isn't helpful. 4meter4 ( talk ) 16:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I am just trying to understand. Simple question: that Ring in Leipzig - the review says she sang "a minor valkyrie" and "Gutrune". The Leipzig Opera has the full list of the cast, and is - to my knowledge - the only source for the fact that she was "Ortlinde". The source is used only for that detail but you tagged it as promotional. Should we therefore omit that detail, loosing precision? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk ) 23:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Michael Bednarek , thank you for the reference for year and place of birth, dated 2008. I used it for more detail but it was marked promotional. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk ) 16:34, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] 4meter4's objections, in this case, to material in a program booklet by a public broadcaster are in contradiction to WP:RS . If reliable sources collate an artist's performance data, Wikipedia editors are free, and indeed encouraged, to use that secondary source. That's a widely followed and uncontroversial principle. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk ) 00:37, 14 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . Information published by one's employer (the theatres at which she has performed) is most certainly not independent coverage. The theatre's website or publicatons can be cited to show that she actually performed a role there, but they should not be cited for the theatre's opinion of her performance, as they have a conflict of interest in that they want to promote themselves by promoting their performers. -- Ssilvers ( talk ) 03:40, 14 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Correct, but no opinion or assessment was cited from those sites in this case. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk ) 06:39, 14 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . I'm persuaded by the additional sources Yngvadottir located and analyzed as well as by the WP:NBASIC guidance that BeanieFan11 pointed out: multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability . While there is the caveat that this coverage should not be trivial, I don't think it is in this case, based on the measure of trivial coverage provided in the notability guideline (the bare mention of Three Blind Mice), as the coverage identified through this review process examines and weighs the tropic's performance quality. Hydrangeans ( she/her | talk | edits ) 22:31, 14 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] If that measure is supposed to be an upper threshold for "trivial", as you imply, then the book-length coverage from the second example must be the lower threshold for "significant"... JoelleJay ( talk ) 00:49, 15 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I don't mean to imply the Three Blind Mice example is the upper threshold for trivial mentions (it's possible for coverage that is more than the Three Blind Mice example to still be trivial; a hypothetical In college, Binton Krill was in a band called Five Eye Lice. Five Eye Lice toured the West Coast in 1988 .). I nevertheless think there's sufficient coverage that rises so above the Three Blind Mice example to the point that it's not trivial coverage. As for lower thresholds, I don't think there's consensus in the Wikipedia community for book-length coverage to be considered a lower threshold for significant coverage. With the exception of, say, multivolume biographies/histories, book-length coverage probably tends to be expected to be the upper threshold/expectation for significant coverage. Hydrangeans ( she/her | talk | edits ) 06:58, 17 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . I'm just not convinced that a couple sentences of praise here and there in reviews really contributes to BASIC, let alone constitutes SIGCOV. Such brief descriptions of performances are absolutely routine in theater reviews and offer no evidence the subject has received sustained secondary coverage. We should not be constructing biographies out of 80% non-independent sources and 20% disjoint quotes on isolated performances -- how can we capture BALASP if separate pieces of information have not been independently contextualized with each other? JoelleJay ( talk ) 00:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Right now this looks like No consensus as editors are very divided about whether or not notability is established by the existing sources.

This is the content that is currently missing in the English Wikipedia: No. 1: In the field of VTS, he published a large number of papers with Nobel Prize winner K. A. Müller between 1994 and 2002. With Viktor Kabanov, he published the fundamental theory of high-temperature superconductivity, which is cited as key in the introductory article by Nobel Prize winners J. R. Schrieffer (editor) and K. A. Müller (author)[1]. He has also published high-profile work in the field of nanotechnology, particularly ferromagnetism in fullerene compounds, where he has determined the mechanism for ferromagnetism and has been involved in the discovery and characterisation of nanowires based on molybdenum, sulphur and iodine. By 2016, he had published more than 280 publications in SCI-indexed journals, including 10 in Science (4) and Nature (6). No. 2: In 2021, he was elected as an Extraordinary Member of the SAZU . No. 4: He introduced a number of new experimental areas in Slovenia: physics and chemistry of fullerenes, molecular electronics and physics of high-temperature superconductors. At the Jožef Stefan Institute, he set up new laboratories for short-time spectroscopy, nanoelectronics and time-resolved multiprobe low-temperature ultrafast STM (multiprobe low-temperature ultrafast STM) microscopy. Since 1985 he has been working at the "Jožef Stefan" Institute as a Scientific Adviser. No. 6: He was the President of the Scientific Council of the "Jožef Stefan" Institute from 2010 to 2020, and of the Association of Mathematicians, Physicists and Astronomers of Slovenia (DMFA) from 2016 to 2020. In 2002, he founded the Department of Complex Materials, which he is heading for his fourth term of office.

Even though this is a complex categorization of sorts, I confirmed it still meets the full criteria of WP:NLIST . A non-exhaustive Google-websearch-only search brings up enough coverage.

Smithsonian Magazine [38] Natural History Museum (London) [39] Gizmodo [40] CNET (pre-2020, so reliable) [41] The Science Times with a focus on Sauron [42] Comicbook.com , focuses on Star Wars , which is a sublist of this list [43] I also note that the list is exceedingly well referenced to reliable sources.

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 02:55, 25 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete This list is completely arbitrary, and therefore falls under WP:INDISCRIMINATE as unfit for Wikipedia. The organisms within have no unifying factor beyond having a name that resembles a work of fiction or character therein. It would be just as arbitrary as a list like "List of cars with chrome hubcaps" or "List of cities with spherical buildings". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 12:12, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I wrote this article because I was inspired by List of organisms named after the Harry Potter series and List of things named after J. R. R. Tolkien and his works . As far as I know, those articles haven't been nominated for deletion since they were made in 2018 and 2016; why would this article be any different? If we need a "unifying factor", perhaps the article could be split into multiple articles: List of organisms named after works of literature , List of organisms named after films , etc.? LegoK9 ( talk ) 12:49, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I also think this list is kind of cool, and am happy to see that there are sources which show that there is interest beyond Wikipedia editors on this topic, allowing to write a referenced lead and fullfill WP:LISTN . Also related to this is this paper, " Taxonomic punchlines: metadata in biology ". It shows academic interest in the parent topic, organisms with "whimsical names", even though I personally find that harder to delineate than "named after works of fiction". Another source is Die Kunst der Bennenung , where unfortunately the relevant pages are only partially available. What is visible is a three-quarters-of-a-page treatment of organisms named after elements from Lord of the Rings as part of a larger discussion. An especially good source on the topic is this Polish paper, Inspiracje i osobliwości naukowego nazewnictwa zoologicznego : Especially pages 47-49 talk about our topic here, and in an almost list-like manner, too. Daranios ( talk ) 15:15, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per the sources and comments of other commenters.

Pokelego999 ( talk ) 18:43, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep While I understand hesitation towards "fun" Wikipedia articles (I agree Wikipedia should not put "entertainment" as a high priority), this list is also useful and does serve a purpose, as there's no shortage of legitimate academic studies (and simple layperson interest) regarding how we as people interact with pop culture, including in things like science and public policy. List of unusual deaths is another example of a "fun" list that also serves a legitimate purpose in... listing unusual deaths in one location. Both lists also have the privilege of being well-made and well sourced. A MINOTAUR ( talk ) 19:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

Wikipedia's RS rules are a kind of an institutionalized form of discrimination. Plenty of weaker players with lesser achievements than him have wikipedia artices, but his notability is being called into question because he comes from a poor country which doesn't get a lot of coverage in either mainstream or specialist chess publications. I'm not saying sources will be easy to find but I'm certainly leaning towards keep. MaxBrowne2 ( talk ) 14:35, 25 June 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment The article indeed provides no sources.

I have found articles about other guys winning other Bangladeshi championships, however, so I am still at it. The Bangladeshi wiki article likewise provides no sources, and indeed, it may be that our article is copied from theirs. The Russian wiki article provides a fairly substantial tournament record, perhaps gleaned from chessresults.com, but it does not provide the kind of sources that English wiki would expect. The article uses several different variations on his name (Minhaz vs. Minhaj, Sagar or not Sagar, order of names, etc.). One version is used in his FIDE card, and one version is used in Bangladeshi Chess Championship , etc. If this article survives, we should do something about using one version uniformly in the article and mentioning other versions in the first paragraph.

In most fields I am aware of, the editor of a book (and I have seen this process from the inside) selects multiple people to contribute and usually contributes a single chapter to the book themselves, which is generally as long as a single journal article. Therefore editing a book is very different from writing a book since editing one basically involves the conceptual work of identifying a theme but letting people express their own thoughts (usually there is very little editorial input on the text itself and the main contribution is selecting the contribution and contributing author to cover a topic in breadth and depth). Still, I would argue that the contribution for an edited volume is a bit more than a journal article but nowhere near comparable to a original book. I am therefore somewhat skeptical in "bending" the NAUTHOR rules to apply to editors of books. Yes, being asked to edit a book can be a sign of distinction but not a very strong signal, especially given the large number of books being published. -- hroest 13:58, 3 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Only one of the three reviewed books is edited.

Thanks, Daniel ( talk ) 02:40, 13 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The user "Amigao" has been publicly flagged as editing Wikipedia entries with an anti-China bias at an industrial scale. Although the complaints were not made by the best reputable sources, the description is worth considering. The contributions by "Amigao" are enormous - the user edits tons of stuff on a daily basis! So is that a shared account, which violates Wikipedia rules? You can also look at the talk page of "Amigao", which lists many well-established grievances against the user. Therefore it's no surprise that "Amigao" initiates a deletion of a Wikipedia entry that doesn't reflect badly on China. 74.211.96.51 ( talk ) 10:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : agree with David Eppstein comments above. I think the sources in the article (eg: Book reviews [25] , [26] ) put this past the finish line. In addition no one has indicated they did a search for non-English sources for reviews of their work as brought up by Espresso Addict. Looking at the article, everything seems sourced reasonably for a BLP.

What should be removed from the article - it has only one footnote to a press release currently. Zh wiki seems to have more, but right now our entry is asking for a WP:TNT , given the confusion. PS. Our article claims the publication was estabilished in 1956, zh wiki gives they year 1950, and there are many inconsistencies between en and zh. Language - for us, English, for zh, Chinese English (?). What is the publication relation to "Chinese Science Bulletin"? Zh wiki claims it is a former name, but miar has two different pages for it? It's a mess. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 11:32, 22 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Piotrus If it helps, there is an article in Science Bulletin itself about the change of name: [8] . So, Science Bulletin was known as Chinese Science Bulletin until 2014. Regarding miar having two pages... if you're referring to the fact miar.ub.edu has a separate page for the title "Chinese Science Bulletin" ( https://miar.ub.edu/issn/1001-6538 ), that would be because it has a different ISSN to the "Science Bulletin" title. So far as I'm aware, when serials are renamed they also get a new ISSN, so this seems pretty normal as far as I can tell. The reason for the language confusion may be because there is also a Chinese-language version of the journal (科学通报 or "Kexue tongbao") with its own ISSN (which is documented on zh.wiki but not en.wiki). Chinese Science Bulletin aka Science Bulletin is the English-language version so far as I can tell.

Safe Surrey Coalition: As always, political parties are not "inherently" notable just because they exist -- notability hinges on media coverage about their activities, not just on verifying their existence. But this is referenced almost entirely to content self-published by the city council itself, which isn't support for notability at all -- and even the one hit that actually comes from a WP:GNG -worthy media outlet isn't about this party at all, but is here solely to verify a tangential fact about somebody else from a different party. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have much, much better referencing than this.

The Nagpur Today refs look like reliable, significant coverage. The xpresstimes.in ref is pay-to-play. Others refs seem independent and reliable but are either too short to establish notability or just passing mentions. Nagpur is a city the size of Brussels but Sangramsingh Thakur is still a Nagpur "hometown boy". It's reasonable that Nagpur Today would cover him in-depth when out-of-town media give more limited attention. This gives us enough to write a reliable article about Thakur and reliability is the ultimate motivation behind our notability guidelines. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 16:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Notability cannot be established by articles in one publication. The references in The Nagpur Today also fall under the same principles as WP:RSNOI as they do not appear to be written by staff writers. -- CNMall41 ( talk ) 19:30, 1 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] CNMall41 , here's what the notability guideline says: "…a series of publications by the same author or in the same periodical is normally counted as one source." ( Notability#Notes , footnote 4) My interpretation is that "a series of publications" does not refer to 2 or more unconnected articles. I think footnote 4 refers to serialized content (for example, a 3-day, 3-part series on a given topic). In that case, that footnote does not apply to this subject. Over the course of 100s of AfDs [4] [5] , I've never seen this footnote invoked before until this and another AfD today . That makes me think this is a narrow rule, otherwise, we'd be tossing out articles just because a subject's multiple references are only to New York Times articles or only to Economist articles. As for WP:RSNOI , that guidance does not rule out using articles without bylines; it suggests that lack of a byline may be an indication of paid, promotional content. When I read the Nagpur Today articles, they did not appear to be paid content. It'll be interesting to read how others view these 2 issues. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 00:32, 2 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thanks for the reply. What I am saying is if a single publication is the only one running stories that would count towards notability, we shouldn't just keep a page based on that. If the person is worthy of notice, they would receive coverage elsewhere as well. As far as RSNOI, you are correct that it does not rule out articles without bylines. It does however state "exercise caution in using such sources for factual claims or to establish notability ." We have to look at each reference individually. Outside of The Nagpur Today, the references that talk in-depth about the subject are Outlook India with a byline of IANS which is a "guest post" and has no editorial oversight (I would consider this akin to WP:FORBESCON ) and Xpress Times which is clearly marked as "brandspot" at the top with the byline of "Express Times Team" indicating churnalism. The others are mentions and bios. -- CNMall41 ( talk ) 03:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

Statue of Josiah Quincy III: An image in Quincy's article suffices. Mangoe ( talk ) 02:57, 28 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Strong Keep . No notability? The statue was erected in 1879 in front of Boston's City Hall, a City Hall which was the official center of Boston government for the next 90 years. A major city like Boston, of such importance to the nation and its history, just doesn't toss up a statue of anybody in front of their City Hall for 90 years. One that's still sitting there at the historical site another 54 years later and apparently has survived the 2020s statue purge. Its only statue companion? Benjamin Franklin. The Quincy statue seems notable from common sense alone. Randy Kryn ( talk ) 04:27, 28 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Without respect to this particular subject, Boston has hundreds of statues. Some indeed are notable, but nothing is notable just because it exists . What common sense dictates is that since notability standards have not yet been repealed, one must actually find sources. Ravenswing 04:56, 28 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Location, location, location. Randy Kryn ( talk ) 11:15, 28 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is the second time you've said a statue is notable because it exists. Please stop it. Now, sources have been added in part because it's in a prominent place, but if its notability is merely inherited from location, it should be merged to Old City Hall (Boston) . Public buildings often have public art, but that doesn't inherently mean they need stand-alone articles unless there is significant independent coverage, and this is not a policy-based vote that a closing admin should give any weight to. Reywas92 Talk 13:20, 28 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] There are plenty of sources, as mentioned by others below. My comment was about WP:COMMONSENSE , which is an aspect of WP:IAR (a major Wikipedia policy). Randy Kryn ( talk ) 13:25, 28 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] No, that's not common sense, because even if others find sources after you make a meaningless comment, there could still be a WP:NOPAGE argument to merge, perhaps even to something like Public art of Old City Hall (Boston) . You didn't say "There are probably plenty of sources for something old downtown", you said "It's automatically notable because of where it is." Location is not and never has been an exemption to our notability standards. Reywas92 Talk 13:39, 28 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Once again, WP:COMMONSENSE is an aspect of the policy WP:IAR, which my comment covers (referring to the maintaining of Wikipedia by not removing this statue's page).

Club managers of the fourth-tier league chose their ideal league XI at the end of the 2023-24 season. One of Rovinka's players made it on the list. No Bude mať Inter na drese meno trénera súpera?

Yes For me there are 6 instances (some overlapping) where I would argue for it being more than a trivial mention – see third column. In addition to the SME sources, the first source from Nfitz in their comment above (Deník) discusses a 2017 "Super Cup" match between winners of regional cups in the Czech Republic versus Slovakia. According to that, Rovinka played in that on account of having won the Bratislava football association cup beforehand, which I found a primary source for here .

I am wondering how you did not see that. Getting a patent is one thing but being mentioned by two succeeding presidents in reputable national newspapers does not seem to me that the subject is non-notable. The page is not advertising as there is no other way to show his inventions other than the tone used, unless you can provide a sample sentence for writing about inventors. His biogas is heavily used in Nigerian prisons to generate electricity and it was in partnership with no other than the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 08:09, 20 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Expansion about nomination . First it is worth remembering that anyone can submit a patent, just as anyone can submit an abstract for a talk, the current ref [11]. Existence does not make the patents or work notable, there has to be reputable independent secondary evidence of this, of which there are none here, just requotes of material from him. Secondly , claims need to be appropriate and consistent with established science. For instance the claim "single electrons and lone pairs are the major sources of toxicity in elements and compounds" is both a circular reference to his own work, and scientifically deeply unsound. Many other statements are scientifically very unsound ( WP:FRINGE ). If they were sound then there would be independent sources from reputable scientific journals to back them up, of which there are none. Thirdly , references must at least be consistent with and support the claims. The article has the invalid science "vapor-like water that emanates from ice is another state of water different from vapor which emanates from hot water" sourced to [16] (which should be [18]) which is a primary source, 100% fringe science published in a disreputable journal. Finally , Notability depends upon reliable, independent sources, and I see none of that here, just a lot of unsupported claims, reproductions of what he claims, masses of awful science ( WP:FRINGE ), and advertising/puffery. This is not WP:CREATIVE , claims have to be verifiable and not fringe ( WP:FRINGE ). Ldm1954 ( talk ) 18:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Also , none of the patents is sourced using the standard {{patent}} template, or better the standard {{cite patent}} template. As such the claims that they exist is unverifiable. Ldm1954 ( talk ) 12:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : His fire proof paint is known offline. The application of his claims is largely recounted in the sources here. I'd say wiki articles about the sources show their reliability as per WP:GNG . Don't know how thick is his science or theory. Removing unsound scientific claims but retaining his verified applications would do.

Regarding the citation of a Geo News video as a reference, it's important to note that this video is an interview, and thus a a primary source. Citing video interviews as reference could set a problematic precedent for BLP articles. Despite my efforts to AGF, it seems reciprocity is lacking.

Bez-MX: The Computer Gaming World and Softalk reviews are in-depth, but the mention in Softline is very brief and is largely about the developer, and coverage of the game there may be summarized as 'this game is coming out at some point and is based on defense projects by Ronald Reagan'. The article could be redirected to List of Apple II games , but I don't think non-notable entries should be on the list. Pinging involved editors - article creator @ BOZ : , @ Cunard : , who removed the PROD, and @ Cocobb8 : , who added the PROD.

Coco bb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs ) 13:02, 15 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I looked at WP:AGEMATTERS and that seems to be pertaining to older sources becoming less accurate over time, rather than having anything to do with needing more recent sources for lasting coverage. BOZ ( talk ) 15:34, 15 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] AGEMATTERS doesn't apply here, that's more about the changing perception of events, not an old video game. You could argued WP:SUSTAINED perhaps.

Coco bb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs ) 17:55, 21 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - undecided on notability, but leaning towards not retaining the article. It's so short and vague that it hardly conveys anything to the reader, and it borders on COPYVIO territory in the way that the reception is largely lazy copy/pastes of review content. I could be persuaded otherwise if someone showed improvement was possible, but the article was created 4 years ago by an active editor, so I'm not hopeful that's happening.

Sergecross73 msg me 12:57, 16 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Got non-trivial review coverage in Softalk and Computer Gaming World but still falls short of the typical threshold for passing GNG. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 01:57, 16 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep since the subject passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline , which says (in part): A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject . " Significant coverage " addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. " Sources " should be secondary sources , as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. ... Analysis of the sources and the general notability guideline Bez-MX received two reviews: a 499-word review from Computer Gaming World and an 834-word review from Softalk . Each of these sources meet the "significant coverage" requirement of the general notability guideline. The general notability guideline says that "multiple sources are generally expected". wikt:multiple defines the word as meaning "more than one". The "multiple sources" requirement is also met. There is no requirement to have more than two sources because the two sources combined provide 1,333 words of coverage about Bez-MX. These are from high-quality, highly-circulated gaming publications. Computer Gaming World had a circulation of 300,000, while Softalk had a circulation of 150,000. The two reviews Bez-MX received were published four months apart which is sustained coverage. However, there is no requirement for articles about creative works like games, books, films, and television shows to meet Wikipedia:Notability#Notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time in having reviews published years later. That is because reviews are not the "Brief bursts of news coverage" discussed in the guideline. Reviews provide critical analysis of the creative work. Wikipedia:Notability#Notability is not temporary is applicable. Sources Shaw, Luther (July–August 1982). "Micro-Reviews: Bez-MX" . Computer Gaming World . Vol.  2, no. 4. pp. 34–35 . Retrieved 2024-05-14 – via Internet Archive . This is a 499-word review of Bez-MX. The review notes: "The real strength of BEZ-MX is in the advanced game which requires planning. In addition to the elements in the basic game, players of the advanced game must maintain industrial production in a war situation. Players assign the population of their countries to work on the farm, factory, airfield, or city. You can have the people work in these areas (which will help keep military goods in production) or you can hide your population in shelters (perserving population but ending production)." Hunter, David (March 1982). "Reviews" . Softalk . Vol.  2. p. 103 . Retrieved 2024-05-14 – via Internet Archive . This is an 834-word review of Bez-MX. This page notes that David Hunter wrote the review. The review notes: "There is scoring in Bez-MX to determine who wins, though a low score does not necessarily indicate a badly played game. It is easy to rack up points bombing cities and farms, but destroying the more crucial things like the runway and factory are what help you win the game." Article that does not provide significant coverage: "New Players" . Softline . Vol.  1, no. 2. November 1981. p. 2 . Retrieved 2024-05-14 – via Internet Archive . The article provides four words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "The first two to look for are Bez-Mx and Bet-J, both based on current defense projects that President Reagan has given the go-ahead to in real life. Besnard is excited because he feels they're great strategy and action games. You lay down your strategy at the beginning of the game and then modify that strategy during real-time using game paddles. Bez-Mx and Bez-I should he available in December." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Bez-MX to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline , which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Cunard ( talk ) 07:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per the arguments of Cunard regarding the GNG. If consensus finds against retaining the article regardless, then I would suggest a merge to the List of Apple II games would be preferable to deletion per WP:PRESERVE and to provide a starting point should further sources materialize in the future. BOZ ( talk ) 11:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge or Delete - per WP:THREE . As my comments above mention, the sourcing available isn't enough to sustain an article. Sergecross73 msg me 13:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect to List of Apple II games , it's close but not quite enough coverage to meet GNG. -- Mika1h ( talk ) 04:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment: WP:THREE is an essay that says to provide the three best sources. It does not say that three sources are needed. On the section of the talk page titled "why is three better than two?" , the author wrote, "I don't think there's anything magic about three, but it seemed like a good number . My suggestion if people insist on three and not two, is to remind them that this is just an essay and people shouldn't be slaves to it." The AfD nominator acknowledges that "the Computer Gaming World and Softalk reviews are in-depth". The sources combined provide 1,333 words of coverage about the subject. Since the Computer Gaming World and Softalk magazines are reputable and had wide circulation, they are good enough to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline since "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage". Aside from the AfD nominator, editors who have said the game does not meet the notability guideline have not explained why they think this. Do they think the sources are not high quality enough? Do they think the sources are not in-depth enough? Do they think that more than two sources are needed? A merge to List of Apple II games would be better than deletion per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion . However, a merge would result in the loss of content to comply with the due weight policy . Cunard ( talk ) 05:00, 17 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Articles with more coverage have been deleted for lack of sourcing. The fact is that keeping articles with this little sourcing is not the consensus of WP:VG and would be considered unusual in the best of times. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 12:22, 18 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This response still does not explain why these two sources are insufficient to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline . Do you think the two sources are not reputable enough? Do you think the two sources are not in-depth enough? Do you think more than two sources are needed? Or is there another reason I have not listed here? At AfD, articles with two high quality in-depth reliable sources usually are considered notable, so a Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games deviation from the general notability guideline ratified by the broader community would explain why some editors here have a higher bar. There is no subject-specific notability guideline for video games, so the general notability guideline is the one to follow. Cunard ( talk ) 04:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm well aware THREE is an essay, but that doesn't automatically make it invalid - quite the opposite, I would think this is exactly the sort of scenario that it was created for. As I noted, the sourcing is so brief that the writer(s) can't even muster up coherent article about the subject. I've read the article. All it says is that it was a game that involves shooting and two reviewers thought it was okay. That's...almost nothing of substance. If that's all that can be extrapolated from these sources, then no, I don't believe it to be significant coverage. And even if it was significant coverage, that doesn't automatically save it from valid merge/redirect stances. What I'm saying falls within the points of WP:MERGEREASON as well. Sergecross73 msg me 18:06, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Reading the three sources in the article, there is potential for a decent expansion.

Sergecross73 msg me 18:39, 20 May 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Context matters, and for a 1981 game released for the Apple II, I don't see why we shouldn't consider two reliable, independent and significant coverage sources enough to establish notability.

It's hard to find sources (not least because "Zaporizke" is not a unique name – there are several villages by that name in Ukraine) and some of the existing sources are pretty weak, so some cleanup is needed but I do think it is a notable topic.

WikiTree: Belle Fast ( talk ) 09:09, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep In reading the prior comments, it seems like the two primary arguments for deletion are 1) the page is not written to Wikipedia standards and 2) WikiTree itself does not live up to the standards of some individuals. I don't believe either should be grounds for deletion. Poorly written profiles should be rew-ritten and a company profile should not be deleted based on the complaints of disgruntled customers. WikiTree has more than one million registered users and it is quicky becoming a major player in the genealogical community. Family Tree Magazine recently declared it one of the 100 best genealogy websites of 2023. These factors alone should qualify it for a Wikipedia profile. Keep the page, fix it up so that it meets Wikipedia standards, and let the disgruntled members take their criticisms to Yelp! DMRand ( talk ) 03:30, 12 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Are you aware that of the "more than one million registered users," only 232,460 have signed the Honor Code as of just now ( https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Badges&b=genealogist ) and thus are fully enabled to edit profiles? And that management's own estimate is that only a few thousand are currently active contributors ( https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/351001/how-many-genealogists-have-contributed-to-wikitree?show=351276#c351276 )? 2600:1010:B181:CD66:45D3:2A9D:92DC:EC52 ( talk ) 19:17, 13 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete and SALT per first AfD, page serves no use, very little if any reliable second source coverage, seems to fail WP:GNG .

Apparently the earlier AfD was for an article about a different entity named "WikiTree." It appears from the Wayback Machine that the site called WikiTree in 2005 and 2006 had the same domain owner, but that site apparently was taken down. The WikiTree.com site covered by the current article asserts (at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:About_WikiTree ) that the site opened in 2008. Orlady ( talk ) 18:52, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Orlady : Thanks for looking into that. If it was a genealogy site (which archive.org shows) with the same domain owner, it does seem relevant to this discussion, no? Their first party assertions about the start date don't hold a lot of weight. —DIYeditor ( talk ) 04:28, 5 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is an article about a website, not a domain name. I haven't determined what the contents were of the article that was deleted 17 years ago, but archive.org images of wikitree.com back in 2005 ( https://web.archive.org/web/20050209002555/http://www.wikitree.com/ ) and 2006 ( https://web.archive.org/web/20061129183230/http://www.wikitree.com/ ) look more like a parked domain than they do a website. I can't see how the deletion of an article about whatever existed in 2006 should prejudice all future decisions about articles of the same name. The current "WikiTree" article was created in 2014, 8 years after the deletion of the previous article. On the Internet, 8 years is like a lifetime. Orlady ( talk ) 22:10, 5 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Correction: I have reviewed the history of the deleted article (which in fact was deleted several times between 2006 and 2008). The subject was not Wikitree.com, but rather was Wikitree.org, which apparently belonged to a man named Tomáš J. Fülöpp (not the current owner of wikitree.com). From archive.org, it appears that at some point the owner of Wikitree.com acquired the wikitree.org domain and redirected it to wikitree.com. Orlady ( talk ) 22:35, 5 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . There are relevant scholarly articles that have utilized data provided by WikiTree. Notably, the research papers titled 'Quantitative Analysis of Genealogy Using Digitised Family Trees' and 'Data Mining of Online Genealogy Datasets for Revealing Lifespan Patterns in Human Population' have relied on the data offered by WikiTree. These references demonstrate the value and importance of WikiTree as a resource for researchers and academics in the field of genealogy and population studies. While the absence of some outside sources may be a valid concern, it is crucial to recognize that Wikipedia itself is an ever-evolving platform, and the absence of cited external sources at a particular moment does not necessarily warrant deletion. As a community-driven encyclopedia, Wikipedia should strive to provide comprehensive coverage of notable subjects, and WikiTree undoubtedly falls within that category. 2601:2C5:4700:310:3A14:457E:FCB5:7AE2 ( talk ) 15:20, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] From the first of these learned papers, I quote: “The data we use were provided by WikiTree, a free, collaborative worldwide family tree project created by a community of amateur genealogists. Data are available on 6.67 million people in over 160 countries (but mainly the US, UK, Germany, Canada, New Zealand and Holland) going as far back as the 1st century …... Data were validated by WikiTree using their in-house procedures which include checking source materials and by making individuals' profiles editable only by a limited list of users, and we provided additional validation by comparing lifespans in the data with those reported by third party sources.” [4] The three authors betray a considerable degree of naivety. WikiTree members are indeed amateurs and most of their work shows it. Fiction plays a strong part in many of their trees, hence the ludicrous claim of descents from the 1st century. An example is the profile for “Tiberius Claudius Caesar Britannicus Born before 12 Feb 41 in Rome, Italy Son of father unknown and Valeria Messalina Brother of Claudia Octavia Died 11 Feb 55 after age 13 in Rome, Italy” [5] The only source cited for this rather distant ancestor is Wikipedia! As for the unbelievable claim that data for 6.67 million people was validated by WikiTree, one has only to look at random cases from the past twenty centuries or even just the last couple of centuries to find endless examples of people with no credible source at all. The whole set-up is flawed and shoddy. Restricting editing powers to certfied users may limit the amount of fake info being added, but will they ever be able to clean up millions of valueless profles already there? I'm sorry, but I do not believe that a survey like this can whitewash WikiTree and do not think it should count against deletion.

Orlady ( talk ) 19:35, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep There doesn't appear to be even an attempt by the nominator to address the reliable source coverage already used in the article? Difficult to claim non-notability when there's no discussion of existing sourcing in relation to said notability. I've done a brief search and found several more usable sources as well. Patton-Imani, Sandra (2018). "Legitimacy and the Transfer of Children: Adoption, Belonging, and Online Genealogy" . Genealogy . 2 (4): 37. doi : 10.3390/genealogy2040037 . Retrieved August 5, 2023 .

"What's a WikiTree?" . Kings County Record . Retrieved August 5, 2023 . And it looks like this stemmed from an ANI thread about an editor who was behaving inappropriately? But that has nothing to do with the notability of this article and subject. Also, based off of the talk page of this article, there just seems to be several users with a personal WP:IDONTLIKEIT issue with the article subject. Silver seren C 18:56, 5 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Some sources have been added since this was nominated I think. Most of the cites on this page seemed to be to Wikitree itself, genealogy blogs, genealogy sites that on inspection could probably not be called WP:RS , etc. My google search (which perhaps was not exhaustive) found very little mention that wasn't fluff. If this site were getting substantial coverage I would've expected more than a few local news reports (for a national site?) and some genealogy blogs. I'll reconsider my ! vote if I see significant in depth coverage. —DIYeditor ( talk ) 05:33, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The latter two sources I gave above aren't local news reports, but syndicated articles that were in a ton of papers nationally. I just picked one of those papers to use, but they are very much not local content. Silver seren C 05:50, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The newspapers are paywalled for me, did you get them through The Wikipedia Library? —DIYeditor ( talk ) 05:54, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yeah, it's the primary resource I use. Silver seren C 05:57, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The first item is a very interesting and illuminating piece of academic research, for which the author found WikiTree a great help. That is however one individual's case, hardly enough on its own to establish notability for the whole site? As for the cited newspaper mentions, which date from over 11 years ago, are they anything more than PR puff? Belle Fast ( talk ) 10:18, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] And since it has been suggested that I personally “do not like” WikiTree, that may be true but I will not demur at an article which cites adequate outside sources instead of being self-referential and includes critical comment as well as laudatory. Belle Fast ( talk ) 10:27, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Also, no, Belle Fast did not to my recollection or knowledge make this because of an ANI report, but rather because of a dispute resolution request which I found confusing and malformed, and in my response to which I suggested that someone could nominate the article for deletion if they wanted, which I believe I had seen discussed on the article's talk page already. —DIYeditor ( talk ) 05:36, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . While WikiTree does have many excellent pages which show links to reliable online sources, scans of proof documents, relevant images, and well-written biographies, these cannot outweigh the vast accumulation of user-contributed dross which, to my mind, renders the site as a whole (unless its supporters can prove otherwise) non-notable. Belle Fast ( talk ) 08:46, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] FYI Belle Fast, I believe your ! vote is already counted as the proponent. —DIYeditor ( talk ) 12:35, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete . The article lacks sufficient reliable sources to establish notability. I attempt to survey them here, to address the deficiency noted by Silver seren . As of the latest edit (5 August 2023 05:50 UTC) the article has 32 citations, of which 14 link to WikiTree.com content and seven are user review sites or favorable blog posts. Reference #20 (as numbered in the current version) is the website for the 2015 Global Family Reunion event, which mentioned WikiTree briefly as a “partner.” Of the two list entries, GenealogyInTime's 2016 “Top 100” chart (#6) did not describe its rating criteria, and Similarweb (#7) rated WikiTree eighth most visited, with no text description. The ISOGG wiki entry (#31) describes DNA-related features using information obtainable on WikiTree.com, with no in-depth evaluation. The entry cites WikiTree.com, blog posts, and Wikipedia. Five citations are media reports. The Daily Beast article (#2) is a report about the 2015 Global Family Reunion event, giving only brief mention to WikiTree. The New York Times (#8) published a general overview article about online genealogy sites. It mentions WikiTree in two paragraphs, presenting basic information available at WikiTree's Home and About pages. USA Today (#10) provided a similar summary of WikiTree-provided information. Familytree magazine (#29) offered one paragraph of information, again gleaned from WikiTree.com. None of these articles contains anything resembling in-depth coverage. The fifth media article, from the Lebanon Daily News (#11, also mentioned by Silver seren ), is paywall protected from both my home computer and those at my local public library. The remaining two sources (#1, #17) are academic journal articles having two authors (Fire and Elovici) in common. The first, quoted above by Belle Fast , was not a peer-reviewed publication. The second was peer reviewed, but the paywall only shows the abstract. The abstract describes “a large online genealogy dataset with over a million profiles and over 9 million connections, all of which were collected from the WikiTree website.” This language, from two of the same authors, suggests that both papers suffer from the same excess of credulity. I think it worth noting that WikiTree provides data to researchers, gratis. In my opinion, the above sources (with the possible exception of the unviewable #11) fail to establish notability. If better sources do exist, the article's contributors have not been able to find them with nine years of effort. Moreover, the lack of independent, in-depth, balanced, coverage makes it unlikely the article can achieve NPOV. It seems that reliable sources of information critical of WikiTree are vanishingly rare. MundoMango ( talk ) 23:18, 6 August 2023 (UTC) (former member and frequent critic of WikiTree management). [ reply ] Found LDN (#11) on ProQuest [21] , here's the relevant text: "One outfit that is marching into this breach is WikiTree. With the slogan "Growing the World's Family Tree," this free system, as its name implies, uses the same manner of collaboration that Wikipedia has used to build that online encyclopedia into one of the marvels of the Internet. On WikiTree, participants are able to choose their preferred levels of privacy and collaboration with other genealogists. Profiles of living people can be kept completely closed or shared with only the users that a participant selects. The merging of the profiles of presumed common ancestors are handled by each user on a case-by-case basis. "Although broad-based collaboration is challenging we believe the benefits we get as researchers and the legacy we're leaving behind make the effort well worth it," according to WikiTree's brochure. WikiTree is found at WikiTree.com." Partial GNG-point, I'd say. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk ) 07:42, 7 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] To continue, with fifteen new citations added today as of 20:35 UTC: One (#29) duplicates a previously cited blog post (#34 now, was #19). Five are posts in the WikiTree members-only G2G discussion forum (read-only for non-members). Two are YouTube videos produced by members on behalf of WikiTree. Wikis for Dummies (#3) has incorrect publication information. Googlebooks preview pages show copyright 2007, cited text describes “wikitree.org” as “in its infancy.” CNN (#4) is an overview of online genealogy, mentioning WikiTree twice as a site that includes social networking features. The Oklahoman (#6) is titled incorrectly. The actual item was “What is WikiTree?” a public service announcement of an upcoming promotional talk by a member. Guardian (#7) article about WikiAnswers; WP:INHERITWEB . Family Tree Magazine (#9) links to podcast Ep. 56, January 2013, not 2023, promotional interview with the owner. #11 is a blog post promotional interview with the owner.

Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk ) 20:44, 7 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Wikitree, like Geni and Familysearch is a work in progress. Its userbase is constantly striving to make the website the best it can be and even now sources are being added which verify its notability. It has been accredited by various well-known genealogists. I know that seems like a feather in the site's cap. However, it should count for something as users of that site worked hard on their family trees. To list them all would take some time. Videos, however, can be found on the site's Youtube channel. Edits have already been made to the page, which, to be honest has improved its flow considerably. It has stopped being less like an advertisement and more like what it should be--A page outlining the functions of the website, its history, and its importance to the genealogical community. More changes are underway and more sources have been added by contributors to support its notability.

PunkAndromeda ( talk ) 23:01, 11 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep From a recent review of the current page version, there appears to be more than adequate references to outside sources that discuss everything from site functionality to the market share of the genealogy websites to data research done utilizing the site and professional papers using profile information found on WikiTree. A scan of similar sites (Ancestry, MyHeritage, Geni, FamilySearch, etc.) seems to reveal similar pages with a similar style of presentation, some with essentially the same external coverage, so this one does not seem any more or less suitable, and while we're not comparing these as a whole, it seems awkward to cite the removal of what appears to be a recognized site in the genealogical market without any indication of concern about the others. Dsfulker ( talk ) 00:51, 12 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep WikiTree is a well-recognised genealogical site. The page has now been improved, with better sourcing, but in any event the way to address sourcing concerns is to make sourcing better. While some comments can be found on the web about the accuracy of some information on WikiTree, the same applies to other genealogical sites for which there are Wikipedia articles, like Familysearch, and this is not a reason to delete the page. The quality of sourcing is not dissimilar to that in articles for sites like Familysearch, and so is the presentation.

There deletion requests were often about proving notability or fulfillment of relevance criteria. When describing (and not advertising, which we should clearly avoid because of NPOV ) a website, it's obvious that you will often use the website as source. I mean, who could describe features better, than the site itself? This is of course not the case when writing about public reception, criticism, comparison to others etc. When looking at WeRelate , geni.com and Rodovid , the composition of sources is roughly the same, I would say. I can understand, if you declare passages of the article to much advertising, too detailed, not neutral etc., I can't grasp, how exactly more "non-primary sources" would look like for this type of article. Can you please explain? -- Flominator ( talk ) 18:53, 12 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The website knows what it want to say about itself, but on en-WP, that is of limited interest, per WP:ABOUTSELF . If we're going WP:OTHERCONTENT , there are also websites like Wikipediocracy , Palmer Report and Dogsbite.org . However, if we're looking for role-models, it's probably better to look at GA/FA articles, WP has a lot of iffy content, and it's not unlikely many articles on websites (or anything, really) are significantly edited by "fans", and if the article is relatively unnoticed, that will show (there's the opposite too, of course [22] ). Which is of course not necessarily bad, fans tend to know stuff, but they also tend to edit from the position that the whatever is great. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk ) 19:37, 12 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Violette Martin ( talk ) 19:32, 12 August 2023 (UTC) (deleted Violette Martin ( talk ) 13:18, 17 August 2023 (UTC) ) [ reply ] Keep I am biased, as I am a volunteer leader on WikiTree. The site was a major focus of my lightning talk at WikiConference North America 2020, and I contributed to the 2016 property proposal discussion for the (accepted) property on Wikidata that provides links to the site. As others have stated, the presence of poor research on a significant portion of the 33 million ancestor profiles is not an indicator of notability, although it certainly must influence Wikipedia editors who diligently delete any source citations referencing the site. FamilySearch Family Tree, Geni.com , Ancestry member trees, and any sites with user-generated genealogy information are bound to be riddled with errors. It's why the collaborative global trees are peer-reviewed and contentious profiles are monitored and curated. KarenJoyce ( talk ) 22:01, 12 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] “.... collaborative global trees are peer-reviewed and contentious profiles are monitored and curated ….” Really? How frequently can a database with millions of names be checked? And who does the checking? If by other amateurs, how are they better equipped to judge? A WikiTree admin, whose acts are above challenge, officially changed the name of an English ancestor from James to Jacobus, unaware that the baptismal register on which she relied was in Latin. Please do not pretend that WikiTree, despite some excellent material, is overall a quality product. Which is why a Wikipedia article which conceals its faults and sings only its praises is not neutral . Belle Fast ( talk ) 07:41, 15 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment I am a WikiTree member, so I should not be counted as "voting" here, but I do want to comment. The current WikiTree article is severely bloated, and it has become more bloated during the course of this AfD discussion. There is far too much nonencyclopedic content, much of which is sourced only to the WikiTree website and thus contributes to the perception that the article is almost entirely based on content from the article's subject. If the article is kept, editing of the article to resolve the bloat problem would also address the heavy reliance on "self"-reported content. That does not mean that all "self"-reported content must go away. In my experience editing Wikipedia content about entities such as companies and educational institutions, I have seen that it is seldom possible to adequately document these entities without including some content that is sourced only to the subject of the article, and this is also the case for WikiTree (as a privately held company that has never made business headlines for events like change of ownership, lay-offs, or scandal). It is hardly surprising that there are no independently authored full-length books or articles providing in-depth coverage of WikiTree, but I think the descriptive content about WikiTree that has appeared in articles about genealogy websites in reputable newspapers (such as The New York Times in 2011 ), in Family Tree magazine ( https://familytreemagazine.com/uncategorized/best-social-media-websites-2014/ ), and in books like " DNA and Social Networking: A Guide to Genealogy in the Twenty-First Century " (and probably some other sources cited in the article) should be sufficient to establish notability of a website . Additionally, I think the very recent web traffic data from SimilarWeb (8th in website traffic among Genealogy&History websites, behind Ancestry.com, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, Geneanet, and 23andMe, but ahead of widely known sites including Findmypast, FamilyTreeDNA, and Rootsweb) and the 2016 "popularity" ranking of 15th (basis not reported) by GenealogyInTime Magazine indicate the importance of WikiTree within the context of genealogy websites. And I am aware of blog posts by unaffiliated professional genealogists that may (if cited selectively) help to further document the impact of WikiTree. Orlady ( talk ) 19:36, 13 August 2023 (UTC) Note: Much of the "bloat" I referred to in the above comment has now been addressed, thanks to Drmies and others. Orlady ( talk ) 19:19, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Based on examining the content of the media sources cited (my vote, above), "the descriptive content about WikiTree that has appeared in articles about genealogy websites in reputable newspapers ... and in books" does not (in my opinion) rise to the level of WP:SIGCOV . Superficial coverage is no less so for appearing in reputable publications, or in lesser publications no matter how often repeated. I believe "address[ing] the topic directly and in detail" should go well beyond repeating information obtained from the website or its promotional material, and would include such questions as: How many of the one million members have been inactive for a year or more? How many members make more than a few contributions in a typical month? How many of the 35 million profiles are duplicates, fabrications, or completely unsupported by verifiable sources? And so on. Such coverage, if it exists, would go far to support claims of notability; included in the article, it would add greatly to NPOV.

Hopefully the closer can sort through it. I'd probably go back and unstrike my "SALT" vote because if it's deleted I think the advocates of this commercial "Wiki" will just come back and make it again. —DIYeditor ( talk ) 00:31, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I'd argue that WikiTree is clearly a wiki with no quotes required, as each page represents a person, living or dead, or a place, document, factory, etc. And it is promised to be free forever , although it is operated as a small ( seriously small ) business. I am not one of the single-digit number of paid staff team members , but clearly I should step back as I'm a user and fan. Perhaps the other fans, banned former users, and WP:IDONTLIKEIT folks should do the same? KarenJoyce ( talk ) 23:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Yeah you may be right about stepping back. Do you think that if everyone who has an opinion about the site recuses themselves the ! vote will it be more balanced? I don't know where the line is on having a COI in that regard. —DIYeditor ( talk ) 14:07, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I don‘t think there’s a clear line in the policies/guidelines, but I think it would be good for the discussion if some of the ! votes here were refactored. With their agreement, of course. Actualcpscm scrutinize , talk 14:19, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Most of the debate here centers on the quality of Wikitree itself rather on whether it meets the admissibility criteria. Agree with KarenJoyce . Violette Martin ( talk ) 13:18, 17 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You are right, Violette. But if the quality of WikiTree's organisation and data is imperfect, shouldn't the Wikipedia article address this? It is illuminating to read comments by the admittedly small sample of disappointed users at https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/wikitree.com The site's summary reads: “WikiTree has a rating of 1.87 stars from 15 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied …. WikiTree ranks 54th among genealogy sites.” Belle Fast ( talk ) 07:46, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If WP:RS have bothered to notice, this article can too. Citing sitejabber would be like citing Amazon reader reviews (as in heck no ). However, since the site is usergenerated, imperfections is not that surprising, pretty much part of the package.

Created using {{ source assess table }} . Weak Keep . This discussion is a mess , and I think a lot of participants got completely sidetracked. However, the standards of WP:GNG and WP:NCORP are almost certainly met. The three best sources here are 1 , 2 , 3 . 1 is about a different WikiTree. I think there's still enough here, but it's really borderline without that book. However, I think there is a very strong WP:NEXIST argument to be made. Clearly, WikiTree is used a source of data by a lot of reliably published academic papers, often without further explanation. To me, that indicates a certain renown within the academic field; if WikiTree were not considered reliable, it wouldn't be used to frequently in academic works. Renown does not establish notability, but it's a consequence of analysis (that we have not found yet). Someone, somewhere almost certainly analysed the reliability of WikiTree data for academic work . I find it hard to believe that it would be so widely used if that had never happened. That gives us 3 GNG sources, plus potentially some of the ones I don't have access to, plus a high likelihood that there is academic analysis of the reliability of WikiTree that we haven't found. That's enough for WP:GNG and WP:NCORP , in my opinion. Actualcpscm scrutinize , talk 09:34, 18 August 2023 (UTC) Edited 09:47, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] There's also this source re. GNG. Actualcpscm scrutinize , talk 09:50, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] On the NEXIST, I think there's an argument that such sources would have appeared by now, if they're out there ( WP:MUSTBESOURCES which of course is an essay ). I'm not confident it's "a lot", I have no good comparison. It can indicate a certain renown, or to some extent some academic sloppiness. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk ) 12:03, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] That‘s the thing, NEXIST and MUSTBESOURCES are somewhat contradictory. I want to assume that academic use of WikiTree is based on legitimate renown rather than sloppiness, but I‘m not naïve to the point of denying that sloppiness exists in academia. It seems that someone took the time to compile a large number of academic works that use WikiTree as a source, so it is weird that they found all that and no analysis. I‘ll take another look at the GNG sources we actually have. Actualcpscm scrutinize , talk 12:58, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Looks like there‘s still enough. We‘re back to WP:THREE with the Kings County Record piece. None of those sources are particularly convincing to me, but all of them technically fulfill the requirements. Actualcpscm scrutinize , talk 14:20, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Actualcpscm , I can't find where anyone verified that the Kings County Record piece was a news report, rather than an event announcement or similar? Sorry if I missed it. MundoMango ( talk ) 14:38, 18 August 2023 (UTC) (former member and frequent critic of WikiTree management) [ reply ] If you meet the requirements, you can access it through the Wikipedia Library. It is a brief report on WikiTree, not an event announcement or press release. It's attributed to Diane Lynn Tibert McGyver (labelled a freelance writer), who doesn't seem to have a direct connection to WikiTree. Actualcpscm scrutinize , talk 14:43, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Update on this assessment: There are currently 3 GNG sources (see table), as well as two partials (low depth of coverage).

Actualcpscm scrutinize , talk 14:57, 18 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Regarding Legitimacy and the Transfer of Children , I would argue that WikiTree was simply a research tool, like the computer the author used. She mentions the WikiTree mission; signing up for an account; not being able to enter both an adoptive family and a biological family (without creating a separate identity for herself), and uses several paragraphs to describe the disappointment, concluding with "We are not fully part of either family, and thus, our sense of belonging is always contingent and negotiated"; later she mentions, but provides no detail about her experience (if any), with the "Adoption Angels." WikiTree was used mainly as an example of how genealogical websites work. - (Full disclosure: I am a WikiTree excommunicant.

Like complementary medicine, everyone involved in humic acids is very vocal, but the terminology is more impressive than the underlying facts.

Thanks, Daniel ( talk ) 12:27, 24 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I don't know much about participating in these, feel free to delete my comment if I am not meant to say anything. I also don't know if humic acids being (allegedly) unfounded or under-evidenced as useful in gardening really undermines the scientific credentials or focus of the International Humic Substances Society. But from what I see of the research they support, I'll go ahead and mildly doubt it. It doesn't seem like they are restricted to supporting research into if whichever acid helps whatever garden crop, and instead include a wide range of topics about humic substances. In general, I find even short records of professional societies to be very useful for a popular encyclopedia to cover. Even historically, paper book encyclopedias would keep track of these things because it's an incredibly useful resource for someone - especially a student or any young person - to run into. It records the landscape of a profession. Sometimes it helps underline the mere existence of an otherwise obscure profession or specialization. And this is an international society. It is not a 20 person club of friends with similar interests. It appears referenced directly in many academic articles. And it continues to have conferences (is not defunct). Not to be rude to people interested in other things, but I can think of a lot I would delete instead. Soil is what we depend on for life as much as water and air. Whatever is going on in the field is particularly notable to me. The article should have more sources, for sure.

CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 18:12, 30 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect to Decolonize This Place . The project appears to be marginally notable, but I think it's a WP:BLP1E for Husain. Little sign of WP:NPROF . As far as GNG, there is some coverage of the subject's recent suspension from NYU, mostly (but not entirely) in blacklisted right-wing publications; I do not think that it is enough that we need this article. There is some possibility for WP:NCREATIVE , but I didn't find anything outside of the one project. Watching in case better evidence of NCREATIVE arises. Russ Woodroofe ( talk ) 18:22, 30 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I really don't care if Husain keeps his own article or not (Wikipedia already has too many BLPs and not enough quality editors to maintain them), and think it's silly to myopically focus on a single recent event , but coverage "mostly (but not entirely) in blacklisted right-wing publications" is quite misleading: New York Daily News [28] , The Forward [29] , Washington Square News [30] , Hyperallergic [31] , and The Messenger [32] are hardly rightwing publications, and while National Review [33] , The College Fix [34] , Israel National News [35] , Jewish News Syndicate [36] , The Jewish Voice [37] , and Campus Reform [38] lean conservative, they are not black-listed. The only formally deprecated or generally-unreliable sources I can find (without descending into the dregs of Twitter and bot content scrapers) are this article in the Daily Mail and an editorial in the New York Post . And for the umpteenth time, "right-wing publication" does not necessarily mean "bad" or "unreliable", no more so than do the many "left-wing" publications commonly used on Wikipedia, and indeed, systematic disregard of sources simply due to their editorial or political stance would (or should ) fundamentally violate WP:NPOV : an event can be significant even if left-leaning media largely ignores it. --Animalparty!

The recent remarks about Hamas contribute somewhat to notability, although I am still unconvinced that it would overcome WP:BLP1E on its own. Although the sources covering the latter are a mixed bag, I do think there is enough coverage that it should go into the article. Apologies for delayed response; limited Wikipedia time this week. Russ Woodroofe ( talk ) 10:31, 4 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . There's a lot of recent coverage about recent comments, which is probably why this article was created, but this activist seems to have a long history that goes back at least until the early days of Occupy Wall Street . Long story short, he's been given significant coverage as an individual by independent reliable sources in the context of at multiple events. These events include: Occupy Wall Street . A 2012 profile in New York Magazine , which dedicates several paragraphs to him, names him ten times, and states that Husain is characterized by a number of the prime movers as one of OWS’s "deep thinkers" . He is also mentioned in The Toronto Star and Mondoweiss in relation to OWS, although the coverage is more brief. Husain also granted an interview in 2014 with Waging Nonviolence about his role in OWS. Decolonize This Place . There is significant coverage of Husain in a variety of sources that relate to his involvement in Decolonize This Place. Coverage from The Jerusalem Post includes a standalone article specifically about his role as well a second standalone article about calls to fire him over it. He's heavily featured in an article by The Paris Review regarding DTP, as well. His mentions related to this project date as far back as 2017 in Hyperallergic , and 2016 in The Guardian . (There's also a fairly long blogpost by Verso Books about media coverage of Husain's participation in DTP, though I think that it's self-published as a blogpost, and thus wouldn't be usable for a BLP. I note it merely for posterity sake.) Passing mention also occurs in a 2021 piece and a 2019 piece from The New York Times , which describe some of his art-related protest organizing. Hamas denialism . Recent comments that seem to have denied aspects of the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel , as well as the backlash to it and his firing, appear to have been covered significantly by a good number of sources. Such sources include The Forward , JNS , Israel's Channel 7 News , Hindustan Times , Hyperallergic , Washington Square News , The Messenger , and of course The Free Press (which seems to have been first to report on this). Some of these are possibly non-independent (Husain was a contributor at HyperAllergic, and WSN is NYU's student paper), but nevertheless there are multiple independent reliable sources here. In addition to the above, he seems to have conducted an interview with the online affiliate of Monthly Review , another with the Center for Artistic Activism , yet another with Arts Cabinet , and yet another with Jewish Currents . As such, this is not a WP:BLP1E nor a low-profile individual by any means; he has both actively engaged press coverage by granting various interviews regarding his work in relation both to OWS and to DTP and he's given public speeches about it. He has also has been significantly covered in the context of multiple events. What all the sources above point to, therefore, is a very clear pass of WP:NBASIC / WP:GNG . Some have indicated concerns about the current article's content. However, as the deletion policy itself notes , when editing can fix these reasons for deletion this should be done rather than deleting the page . There are enough sources to write a reasonably detailed article about this individual that is not doomed to be about a permastub. As such, the article should be kept and improved.

Let'srun ( talk ) 19:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] What the hell...

I can add the next five seasons to this if it helps, but why are you now so much against merger articles when they're created by me, when you've done the exact same before for arguably less notable groupings (DelState)? BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 19:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Let'srun : How many seasons do you think need to be added for this to be notable? Through 1894? Through 1900? More? I will tell you this, though: I oppose in the strongest possible terms a "trim-down to Georgetown football", as that would just either (a) result in a load of WP:UNDUE content or (b) result in near-total erasing the first 16 years of the team's history, which need to be mentioned somewhere at Wikipedia.

This is a valid split, something Let'srun has been supportive of in the past when others have done such actions (even doing it himself).

Combining multiple years in this fashion is valid per WP:NSEASONS ("In cases in which the individual season notability is insufficient for an article, multiple seasons may be grouped together in a single article."). Debates as to which years should be included or excluded is a WP:CONTENTDISPUTE that should be discussed first at the article's talk page.

David Gonzalez (storyteller): I confess I hummed and hawed about this nomination because it felt as if he should, indeed could be notable. However, when you boil it all down, there is no record of sustained or exceptional notability under any of these labels - coverage is interviews or non-RS; there is no "well-known and significant award or honor" or multiple nomination. Ultimately, while undoubtedly widespread in his interests, I believe the subject does not pass WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST (and its multiple associated creative guidelines).

David Gonzalez is an artist with an amazing career and dedication to his craft. Just look at Ralph Blumenthal's (unpaid) review of him in the New York Times. In it he describes step by step the life of this multi-disciplinary artist. Previously Lawrence Van Gelder, also a NYT critic, praised Gonzalez's work. He is a doctor in music therapy with many years’ experience working with underserved communities. He has written more than a dozen plays that have been presented many of the best American theaters. He has received numerous awards, grants, and commissions, and is respected by other well-known artists who collaborate with him in his productions. There are many, many artists on Wikipedia with a much lower profile. Their articles have been created, on many occasions, by a cousin or a friend or someone who runs social networks for them. Let's be serious, David Gonzalez is a great artist and his work, and his life enrich Wikipedia. This article has been done in an honest and professional manner.

Mztourist ( talk ) 04:49, 4 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] In practice, the way "significant or well-known" is determined in AfD discussions is via the presence (or absence) of reviews.

Djflem ( talk ) 11:35, 9 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "or reviews" is perfectly clear, but you are ignoring the "In addition", which means that reviews are secondary to the first sentence requiring the subject author to have "created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work." which has not been established.

In this case, however, the subject has received significant coverage beyond mere routine campaign coverage. In part for his notoriety as a perennial candidate, and in part for his controversial conduct as a candidate (his own party's refusal to endorse him, his allegation of a rigged primary).

Article authors should wait until the sources exist before moving the article into article space in the expectation that there will be reviews. A film article with no reviews is a film article that should have stayed in draft space or user space until the reviews were published.

A redirect to List of Malayalam films of 2024 should have been considered anyway before nomination as ATD.

The serious WP:COI with the creator is an issue, but not the primary one. Per nom, Parrish is notable for one event : being fired from Apple as it relates to #AppleToo. 99.99999% of sources are specifically about AppleToo: nearly all about her firing. The sources Oaktree b shares are the same topic, sustained or otherwise. The very first article about #AppleToo was in Vice , some weeks later The Guardian covered it, and of the hundreds of results during the first month, there is nothing about Parrish. Her first mention is in The New York Times about the recording that was leaked and #AppleToo. For the following month Business Insider & Vox . That's 3 sources for #AppleToo as a standalone event—and BI is derivative of NYT . Only 5 sources out of all of the sources about her are not related to her being fired. Only 2 of those are not related to #AppleToo. There's no case for WP:BLP2E here. Say ocean again ( talk ) 07:46, 12 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Additional comment : I weigh events individually to determine notability. The Information and Stat News do not meet WP:EVENTCRIT . (I can only read the first few paragraphs from The Information , but the title also says it's about her firing, so it is, by extension, related to the same event.) The time span between them is only a month and there's no lasting impact or sustained coverage of the event. ... viral phenomena – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable. It's a bit misleading to say there are multiple sources from before #AppleToo, when there is only one: The Austin American-Statesman . She was not elected and it was local election so it fails WP:NPOL (not widely or significantly covered, either). The notable event is #AppleToo. WP:BIO1E says: In considering whether to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and of the individual's role within it should both be considered. The general rule is to cover the event, not the person. Without Parrish's firing, there are only two intellectually independent sources. Vox and NYT . Coverage about her role in #AppleToo begins on the day she was fired from The Verge (Oct. 15, 2021: 3 months after #AppleToo began). Her role is described in a variety of sources as being one of the people who shared and posted the stories beginning in September: Parrish and Cher Scarlett, an Apple software engineer, then began sharing these stories on Medium. In Business Journals she describes analyzing the data. I went in and read every single employee story so that we could put together statistics on what they were about. Wired describes her as a founder of Apple Together, but there's nothing beyond this mention. WP:WEIGHT is a significant factor here for all of this, especially it is a WP:AUTOBIO . The firing is what is persistent here in the context of #AppleToo , so the question remains if her firing is a standalone event from #AppleToo, which would be the single qualifier for an article about her. Separate comment : I don't think the Kara Alaimo source can be used . The author writes Parrish started #AppleToo. That seems false based on the sources (especially after having read them chronologically). While some later sources describe Parrish as a co-founder, none of the early ones do. They describe her as a leader for her role in sharing the stories on Medium. The Vice source says a pseudonymous Apple service provider "Fudge" co-founded the group and the vast majority say the founders were Scarlett and a group of anonymous 15 employees in Fudge's Discord server. This is part of the reason why I consider narrative to be a primary source, even if it's in a book. I am more wary of it with Parrish given that this is the second autobiography from her . Say ocean again ( talk ) 15:14, 12 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment : The nom is on the basis of WP:BIO1E , not WP:BLP1E . Editors are advised to be aware of issues of weight and to avoid the creation of unnecessary pseudo-biographies. We've got WP:WEIGHT and WP:UNDUE issues because of the test on WP:PSEUDO : Is the individual substantially covered? Y Is the individual the main focus of the coverage? N She is the main focus on coverage of her firing, not the event itself Is the person notable for any other events in their life? N Say ocean again ( talk ) 20:58, 16 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Agree with Oaktree b above. Looking closer, multiple sources providing in-depth WP:SIGCOV into her specifically ( 1 , 2 ). Additional sources from before #AppleToo, such as 3 . In regards to WP:BLP1E , I would say she does not meet condition #3: the event in question (#AppleToo) is very significant and Parrish's role in it was both substantial and well documented. CaptainAngus ( talk ) 11:52, 12 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . While there is coverage of her being fired from Apple, there is also ample coverage on her activism in the area. Hence, the firing is just one aspect of her coverage and is not a single event. The sources noted by CaptainAngus and Oaktree b are examples of significant coverage. In addition, and unrelated to her work at Apple, Parrish has received significant coverage about her experiences with health professionals when she had a miscarriage and how changes in US regulations about abortion will impact women seeking medical care in the United States, see stories here: [ [7] ] [8] . DaffodilOcean ( talk ) 12:27, 12 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Multiple sources provide in-depth significant coverage of the subject, meeting WP:SIGCOV There are sources that cover her activities and significance even before the #AppleToo event. Regarding her role in the #AppleToo movement was substantial and well-documented, and the event was very significant, meaning she does not meet condition #3. While there is coverage of her being fired from Apple, there is also ample coverage of her activism, showing that the firing is just one aspect of her broader public presence. Additionally, she has received significant coverage for her experiences with health professionals following a miscarriage and discussions on how changes in US abortion regulations will impact women's medical care. Thus, her coverage goes beyond a single event, substantiating her notability. Master rollo ( talk ) 11:09, 16 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Walt Yoder ( talk ) 03:34, 21 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Not ready for mainspace Meh it's fine where it is . It's not clear what constitutes a "modern Chinese character" (no mention of obselescence horizon). This reads like a very mild POVFORK and has entirely empty sections consisting only of headers. Some concepts are mentioned without being introduced (who is Professor Su?). It's not clear why the author chose to create this article in mainspace rather than contribute to existing articles. It seems like the author has put a lot of good faith effort into this article, and once it is finished it could serve as something like Introduction to Chinese characters , or split into bits and added to existing articles. I don't think the content should be deleted, but rather draftified or userfied. All the sources are reliable and as far as I can tell, all claims pass WP:V . Folly Mox ( talk ) 04:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The article won an excellent score at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_China/New_articles .

The "score" of 100 you're seeing is based on the text of your article matching regular expressions listed at User:AlexNewArtBot/China . What it means is that the article is 100% likely to be a Chinese topic, not that it is 100% excellent. I think you should consider moving the article into your userspace until you're finished with it. Folly Mox ( talk ) 13:31, 21 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Professor Su can be found via the citation [16]. He is a professor of Peking University, teaching "Modern Chinese Character".

Ctxz2323 ( talk ) 14:16, 21 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep for lack of a valid rationale . Even the commenter who suggest it is not mainspace-ready sees potential in it. I am not seeing the WP:FORK here, and there are two book sources primarily about Modern Chinese, enough to indicate independent notability for an article on the topic. This article has TWO significant issues: uncited statements, and the fact that it occasionally feels like an essay if it broke the rule of not using the word "you", but AFD is not cleanup. User:HumanxAnthro ( Banjo x Kazooie ) 16:27, 21 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The 2 "you" s in the article are in the first paragraph: According to the latest data of Ethnologue, "Mandarin Chinese (the modern standard Chinese, also called Putonghua) is the largest language in the world, if you count only native speakers. If you count both native and non-native speakers, English is the largest (with Chinese being the 2nd largest)." And Chinese is written in Chinese characters. They all appear in a direct quotation from the Ethnologue citation source. Ctxz2323 ( talk ) 01:07, 22 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you all for the informative discussion. Now I agree to move the article into my userspace to make it more complete and mainspace-ready. But, I have just got a message from User:Hey man im josh - Wikipedia, telling me that "the page Modern Chinese characters has been reviewed" (sent 12 hours ago). Does it mean it should stay in the mainspace now? Ctxz2323 ( talk ) 00:50, 22 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Walt Yoder and Hey man im josh : what do yall think? Mainspace development definitely isn't the norm anymore, but the article in progress here only has one incoming mainspace link, from Standard Chinese . I'm feeling overall meh about what namespace the article should be completed in. There aren't inaccuracies, just missing sections and some duplicated content. (And for the non-specialists, one source cited heavily in this article – Qiu Xigui (2000). 文字學概要 [ Chinese Writing ]. Translated by Gilbert Mattos; Jerry Norman. – is the number one best and most authoritative English-language source on the topic) Folly Mox ( talk ) 14:53, 23 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The main reason why I moved it out to Mainspace before it was completed is: "Modern Chinese characters" is a big topic, and it keeps branching out new articles, (some of which are already reviewed, some got hundreds of visits already). And it seems it will take one year at least to have it and the sub-articles completed. However, if you prefer to have it moved to some other namespace to be completed in, it will be ok for me. By the way, I was the subject teacher of "Modern Chinese characters and Information Technology" in a university for over 10 years before my retirement 5 years ago. Ctxz2323 ( talk ) 04:55, 24 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Another reason: the first 5 sections of the article, including the Top, are completed.

(having teaching this subject for over ten years in a university in Hong Kong) The article has already branched out, or spined off, 7 child and grand-child articles in the main space, 4 of which are already reviewed.

That said, there does need to be better editing to make it encyclopedic and reduce the total size of the page. My advice would be to work with relevant wikiprojects to clarify the topic and find a way to summarise the main points if there are to be other pages on related topics and subtopics. JMWt ( talk ) 08:19, 28 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep and oppose moving to user or draft space . The topic is clearly notable and the article is already a valuable contribution to the encyclopedia. I entirely reject the idea that articles should be approaching completion before they appear in main space. A gentle remark: it can be difficult for a subject matter expert to provide references. For an ignoramus like me it is easy because everything I know on a subject is gleaned from current reading. Make a huge effort to at least reference each paragraph.

My reservation is that the article in its current state reads much more like a draft, especially with all the stub headings. Personally I would prefer this article be fleshed out more in draft space before returning to main. I don't see any reason to rush this into mainspace. If kept, I agree with others that attention should be brought to the relevant WikiProject for prompt work. StereoFolic ( talk ) 03:22, 31 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge into Simplified Chinese , or Standard Chinese . This is an article ripe for merging, and though its execution likely means it should be TNT'd , it's notable as evidenced by the previous comments. Modern Chinese Characters as a single topic is best treated as one merged with Simplified Chinese characters given that the CCP under Mao modernized the language into removing all the necessary strokes for certain symbols, the character for fish (⿂ vs. ⻥) being one of the most glaring examples. Invading Invader ( userpage , talk ) 03:37, 3 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "Modern Chinese characters" covers a larger range than the characters in either Simplified Chinese, or Standard Chinese. By the way, are you going to merge article Chinese characters into Chinese language ? Ctxz2323 ( talk ) 07:38, 3 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I would not recommend the merging of the two pages you proposed. The characters are a subtopic to the language that is significant enough to warrant their own article. I don't see how this fits into this discussion. Invading Invader ( userpage , talk ) 02:08, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Modern Chinese characters include modern traditional Chinese characters. How can you merge them into Simplified Chinese? Ctxz2323 ( talk ) 02:19, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Simplified Chinese is not the only modernized Chinese language. Modern traditional Chinese is used in Taiwan and Hong Kong. And many Chinese language users are not living under the CCP. In fact, (⿂ and ⻥) are both modern Chinese characters. Ctxz2323 ( talk ) 02:29, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Sorry, maybe there is a misunderstanding. You said "Merge into Simplified Chinese", and I understood your "Chinese" as Chinese language, not just Chinese characters. Ctxz2323 ( talk ) 02:38, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Respectfully, User:InvadingInvader , the assertions equating simplified with modern , as well as those conflating language and writing system, are incorrect. Having taken a more thorough look at the article as it stands now, I'm a bit more in favour of a rename, although I'm struggling with an appropriate target. Dissatisfying ideas have included Modern usage of Chinese characters , Present status of Chinese characters , Modern Standard Chinese writing , Overview of modern Chinese writing , Current status and applications of Chinese characters , Chinese as She is Wrote , et al. I think a rename may be in order because the topic is not well defined: there are at least three authorities delimiting the set: the PRC State Council, Taiwan's Ministry of Education, and the Xinhua Zidian (leaving aside the Hong Kong pedagogical aide and authorities in Japan and Korea). I don't think there's a suitable merge target, but I would kindly recommend to the author MOS:TONE , since phrases like the existing Wiki articles , the purpose of this article (and its branching articles) etc. don't quite fit encyclopaedic tone. The remainder of the article after the lead seems pretty on point though. Folly Mox ( talk ) 03:28, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.

Tea race (competitions): The creator advises that this is a translation from Russian Wikipedia, but the majority of the sources for this subject are written in English. The two levels of translation involved might explain some inaccurate or questionable content. It would be much better to be rewritten as a part of Clipper , using that article's existing sources for the bulk of the new content. The writing quality is poor.

Not limited to clippers. See JSTOR 23885249 . Lots of material for expansion. See this . We already have an article on the Great Tea Race of 1866 . — Srnec ( talk ) 00:49, 3 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comments The history blog on tea races offered by Srnec has every sign of relying on Great Tea Race of 1866 as its sole source (find a fact in the blog that is not in the Wikipedia article). This subject is plagued with poorly researched books/sources – WP:HISTRS should be firmly applied. David R. MacGregor is a key source for the subject, with many more books than the one listed in the Great Tea Race article. Basil Lubbock is another important source, but can be demonstrated to have problems, so needs to be used with care. The JSTOR article is not supported by others writing in the field. (Note where the author had worked. I would deem the JSTOR article a primary source. The key point is whether there was the high level of interest in any races in the press, or whether a premium was written into the bill of lading of any steamer. Sources do not say that either applied, and my own searches of newspapers confirms that point.) The steamer trade rapidly suffered from overcapacity, resulting in the Far Eastern Freight Conference . Wikipedia has, IMHO, a reasonable set of articles that cover this range subjects, with the weak point being Clipper , which does not cover the tea trade in these ships well and needs expansion – but from quality sources. If the steamship races were to be felt important, there is space in Steamship#Long-distance commercial steamships for some comment, and something would be appropriate in the yet-to-be-written section of Clipper . ThoughtIdRetired ( talk ) 08:40, 3 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thing is, I would not have expected an article on clippers (or steamships ) to cover any particular trade in detail at all . That is what struck me first about the nom—that the tea races should be folded into clipper is extremely nonintuitive to me, that the present article should be regarded as a fork of the ship article likewise. Perhaps split tea clipper out. Srnec ( talk ) 11:40, 3 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Clippers were used on for a small range of cargoes over a limited number of routes. With speed being something close to a defining characteristic of this sort of vessel, I am puzzled why their relative speeds should be nonintuitive . The subject occupies a large part of any RS on the subject. ThoughtIdRetired ( talk ) 18:36, 4 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comments If the race has an important historical event, which was covered in the press, watched by the whole country, the topic can be covered in a separate article.

Richard Eastell: The subject, who is an academic, has received little if any attention in reliable secondary sources except for coverage of a dispute that led to his resignation as a research director at the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. Other than the dispute, the biographical information is taken from his employers or himself. The dispute itself which was reported at the time and subsequently included in an article in Times Higher Education did not receive sufficient coverage for an article. With such little information, a comprehensive article about Eastell and his career cannot be written and therefore it is an attack page.

I am not sure if any of these awards are sufficiently prestigious to satisfy WP:PROF#C2 on its own, but together with the citation record they are certainly sufficient to satisfy WP:PROF#C1 . Nsk92 ( talk ) 16:24, 28 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment For sake of openness, this is a page on my father (apologies for any mistakes in wiki markup - I am still new to it). Nonetheless, the subject's notability feels marginal (sorry, Dad) and the page was created by Nomoskedasticity for the sole purpose (as per the history) of attacking the subject by highlighting (at the time) an ongoing investigation in which he has since been found innocent of misconduct (all a contradiction of WP:SUSPECT ). As has been noted elsewhere, and by many others, the "Controversy" really isn't one, yet even now the article focuses almost entirely on this (over half the article is the Controversy section and the associated references - not aligning with WP:AVOIDVICTIM : "biographies should be pared back to a version that is completely sourced, neutral, and on-topic"). Any other information about the subject is often swatted away - usually by the creator ( Nomoskedasticity ) as "Not verifiable by Independent Reliable Sources".

Russ Woodroofe ( talk ) 03:21, 3 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment Although I do not believe that Eastell meets the notability guideline for academics, I find that guideline may violate policy because it does not require coverage of the subject in reliable sources. I opened a discussion of the guideline at Wikipedia talk:Notability#Notability (academics) . TFD ( talk ) 15:19, 30 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete I agree with others that while the article's subject may have just enough notability to be included based on their academic achievements, the article violates the "do no harm" tenet and does read more like an attack page. This applies in particular since the article's creator has repeatedly been doing their utmost to revert changes made to make the article more balanced, often without comment, until a public discussion about the article was started and the balance started shifting, and there is no guarantee that they won't recommence that practice once interest in the article on the side of the editors has waned. Seeing as the subject has not actually had any decisions made against him, the (still considerable) prominence of the "controversies" section seems rather skewed. Toxictigger ( talk ) 20:21, 30 September 2023 (UTC) — Toxictigger ( talk • contribs ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

49ers–Raiders rivalry: The reference page only lists one outdated article from Bleacher Report declaring the two teams as rivals, most of the articles supporting animosity between the two just revolve around the fan misconduct and the two teams cancelling preseason games.

Various supplementary sources here and there, and a couple of books , which I assume are mostly pictures but at least the former of which seem to be from a legitimate publisher (and as to the latter, I'm a bit unclear on this "Gisler" press from Luzern might have been, but it does seem to have found its way into some pretty fancy libraries).

Pedantic Aristotle ( talk ) 16:28, 28 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I created the "political views" article after extended discussions a few weeks back, and spent considerable time to reorganize and structure the content in order to make the article in a good shape, and facilitate further improvements. The "political views" article is substantially shorter, and more to the point than this main article. After it was posted and linked in the main article, one editor created the duplicate "political positions", and copied the content from this article as-is without editing, deleted the content of the "political views" article and redirected it to the newly created "political positions" article. I propose we discuss further improvements in the "political views" article, where the content is organized in a way that allows for easier improvement. Pedantic Aristotle ( talk ) 17:15, 28 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I like the structure of Political views of Javier Milei , but maybe we should move it back to draftspace for now, and turn Political positions of Javier Milei back into a redirect to Javier Milei#Political positions since they're still identical. Wow ( talk ) 17:18, 28 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The main discussion we had a few weeks ago is that the main article is an unorganized mess. Without having the structure in place everyone will add content in random sections. This has been pointed out in the Talk page by many, but it requires considerable work to fix this, so it has not been done yet. The content in the new article "political views" is primarily the same content as the main article contains, but distilled to contain political views only, and just list things factually. It does not make sense to create a duplicate of the content in the main article. Once we have this in place, anyone is welcome to improve the "political views" article further. Pedantic Aristotle ( talk ) 17:42, 28 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Let's delete Political positions of Javier Milei (to make way for page move), then rename Political views of Javier Milei to Political positions of Javier Milei , and then either draftify the renamed page or tag the non-neutral content in the renamed page. Also, I agree that the main page is a mess; now is a good time to start trimming it. Wow ( talk ) 20:05, 28 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Disaster is the openly biased and non-neutral article that the user Pedantic Aristotle intends to impose, as the user Gobonobo said. The 2 articles should be deleted because they are totally unnecessary, the original article, Javier Milei , already addresses his views and political positions in a very complete, extensive and profound way. Piertosiri ( talk ) 21:16, 28 October 2023 (UTC) — Piertosiri ( talk • contribs ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [ reply ] It is standard practice on Wikipedia to open new articles once the main article grows large, as in this case. I submitted the article for review, and it was approved - not by me -. The serious error was done when @ Gobonobo decided to blank the article, create her own version, and redirect the main article to her version. Thats really bad practice, content discussions should happen on the articles Talk page. Bypassing the Wikipedia process by simply replacing articles with their own version is not a good way to improve this encyclopedia. You are welcome to contribute to the article, if there are things you believe are incorrect or biased, feel free to let us know what that is, and we can work on improving it instead of arguing. Pedantic Aristotle ( talk ) 21:59, 28 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I think there is good reason to keep the name as "Political views". Political positions are more suited for political party programs, where you write about their policy implementations. It would be best to tag or fix non-neutral content, but i still don't know what is being referred to. Its more or less the same content that exists in the main article? Pedantic Aristotle ( talk ) 22:08, 28 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The 2 articles should be deleted because they are totally unnecessary, repetitive and one of the articles, the one that the user Pedantic Aristotle tries to impose, is openly biased and has no neutrality, as the user Gobonobo points out. Javier Milei original article already addresses his opinions and political positions in a very extensive, complete and profound way.

[ reply ] If there is any content disagreement, this can be discussed in the article talk page. This is a starting point for an article, it is not supposed to be a final version. As I don't know which parts you are believe are biased, it's difficult to comment, except that the content is derived from the main article, and simply lists the factual and sourced information found there. Feel free to point out any part of this article that is not correctly representing sourced facts. There are many things that can be improved, but as a start, I did not want to diverge the content too far from the original content in the main article. For reference, this is the state of the main article when this article was created; https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? title=Javier_Milei&oldid=1173745892 Pedantic Aristotle ( talk ) 18:22, 28 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep "views", delete "positions", and then move from "views" to "positions" (for consistency, we use "positions" for politicians, as in Category:Political positions of politicians , and "views" for people who are not politicians, as in Category:Political views by person , needless to say, Milei is a politician). The article clearly needs a fork at this point. Still, a fork created as a standalone article (as "views") is a better starting point than an article that simply copypastes a whole section (as "positions"); not to mention that blanking an article and creating a replacement article in its place is definitely rude and should not be allowed to stand (that's the whole reason we have those 2 articles right now). And if this article lists so many positions and forgot a pair... just add them , no need for so much drama. Even a copypaste from main to fork may be acceptable if we move just specific passages, like those of whatever view is currently missing. Cambalachero ( talk ) 01:37, 29 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Agreed. Pedantic Aristotle ( talk ) 09:41, 29 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Draftify per Wow's suggestion, but support any outcome that results in a balanced article. As it stands, the 'political views' spinoff article violates NPOV by glossing over or failing to mention sourced content from the main article. Several positions that are described in detail in the parent article are conspicuously absent from the 'views' fork, including his rejection of sex education in schools, plans to abolish the Ministry of Women , and support for the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory . All of these are covered in detail in the 'political positions' section of Milei's article, but go totally unmentioned in the fork. Similarly, climate change is not mentioned even once in the fork, despite the fact that he denies its existence, calling it a socialist lie. [8] [9] The brief mentions of dollarization and abortion in the case of rape seem to gloss over the subjects and an there is an in-article note about linking to the COVID controversy rather than any elaboration on the topic. The imbalance also extends to framing and terminology, with lack of context and soft pedalling both being concerns. There is a stable consensus in the main article to describe Milei as " far-right , ultraconservative , and right-wing libertarian ". While these terms are present both in the lead and at the beginning of the political views section of the parent article, their use is avoided in the fork. After the 'views' draft was first rejected at AfC, suggestions were made for improving the balance, but no changes were made. Since the beginning of September, the 'views' article has gone almost completely unchanged with the exception of an attempt by an IP to mention climate change that was reverted . We're less than 3 weeks out from a presidential run-off here in Argentina. If we're going to have a fork, let's be sure that it deals with the topic fairly and proportionately. gobonobo + c 23:48, 31 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Hi Gobonobo , the article Political views of Javier Milei , which the user Pedantic Aristotle intends to impose, is openly biased and has absolutely no neutrality. It does not reflect the original article. And if there is any of the 2 articles that should remain, it is the article Political positions of Javier Milei because it is the most complete, reliable, recognized and neutral. However, I still think that an article of this type for this political figure is totally unnecessary, repetitive and that the 2 articles should be deleted. The original article already addresses in a very complete, extensive and profound way the views and political positions of this Argentine politician.

Cambalachero ( talk ) 14:55, 1 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The content of the article should be discussed in its talk page. There has been no discussion there even after multiple requests for comments, and we should avoid disruptive editing . The article is a new article, there is no requirement for it to contain what the main article contains, regardless its based nearly entirely on the main article, but stripped down to contain only factual political views. Thats a good starting point. I can't find any parts of the main article that contains what you mention, that would be suitable for a political positions article in its current form, but if you feel something is missing, feel free to propose changes, and make your argument for them. I would also propose to check guidelines for biographies WP:BLP , I have read them carefully. This page is however an AfD discussion, and it seems like most wants to delete the POVFORK positions article, and move views to positions.

Thanks, Daniel ( talk ) 10:02, 12 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep "views" , delete "positions" , and then move from "views" to "positions" . The "views" article was initially approved by @ Cambalachero , and then the "positions" article was created afterwards to redirect away from the "views" article, as one editor wanted to create their preferred version instead. This split has been highly disruptive and counterproductive, and has effectively stalled further improvements for weeks, which was even stated as the motivation behind these actions due to an upcoming election. The "positions" POVFORK includes a lot of political campaign statements from the opposition, that is unrelated to political views or positions, has in several cases no verifiability, states opinions as facts, omits inline cite, and was added to circumvent the Wikipedia process of discussing content additions, and effectively WP:STONEWALLING . The main article does not have consensus for its content, there has been discussions of a larger cleanup since August/September, but these improvements were delayed due to the protection that was added to the article. The creation of this "views" article was discussed by several editors already at that time, which was supposed to be the first step in the clean-up. It would now be a good time to proceed with improving Wikipedia, rather than continuing to promote and encourage disruptive editing for political gains.

The other reviews listed on Metacritic (aside from the two Cukie mentioned) are either classed as unreliable (God is a Geek, Worth Playing, GameGrin) or haven't been classed at all (PlayStation Country, GameSpew). If this is going to have a chance, I think we would have to discuss PlayStation Country and GameSpew at WT:VG/RS , although the lack of an "about" page or similar on PlayStation Country, and GameSpew's self-description as a passion-project blog site, makes me doubtful that they could be considered reliable sources. -- Alexandra IDV 23:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep A review from Softpedia should get it across the finish line in terms of notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 08:19, 24 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak Keep We very narrowly got there in the end with WP:THREE .

Power Without Glory (2015 book): I only did a web search because it's a fairly recent book and that should produce good enough sources, but all I found was a review from the Victorian Historic Racing Register , which just ain't gonna cut it. The article was added by Tsrwright , the book's author, starting with this edit to the page about the notable novel with the same title , before it was split off later (also see this editor assistance request ). I found out about this situation after the author contacted me because they were caught up in an IP block I'd performed. Graham87 ( talk ) 05:25, 3 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Your research didn't go too far, Graham. The book is covered in depth in the publishers website at www.loosefillings.com. It received an Award of Distinction 2016 from the Society of Automotive Historians. It was shortlisted for the UK Motoring Book of the Year awards 2106. It had numerous favourable reviews by the journals of record as listed at the above website. The unannounced blocking of my log-in to Wikipedia for some years and the new proposal to delete mention of my book Power Without Glory ... was and would be unsatisfactory. Power Without Glory.... was the product of years of research and is the definitive account of its subject. On the other hand I must point out that Wikipedia has many errors contributed by people who must have done little or no research. It should not be thumbing its nose at genuine contributors. Tsrwright ( talk ) 06:01, 3 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Hi there, appreciate the desire to improve Wikipedia. Before making further edits to that article, you likely want to review our conflict of interest guidelines. Also if you like, take a look at the guidelines for reliable sources that we use to construct articles. If you can point us to further independent, reliable sources, such as professional reviews, it will aid in keeping this article. I would suggest not adding them to the article yourself due to the apparent conflict of interest. — siro χ o 06:26, 3 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Tsrwright : You said that Graham's research 'didn't go too far', without providing any sources to show that Power Without Glory does actually meet WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG .

So all you need to do is write a book about a super-niche subject, get it reviewed favourably in a few specialty publications about said subject that are by no means of general interest, and, hey presto, it's on Wikipedia? This goes strongly against general precedent and just the general sense of coverage I get by reading other book articles in Category:Australian non-fiction books . To put it another way: if this book is kept, there are thousands of others that could plausibly get articles here that I'd never think to write about in a million years. OK I'll shut up now, but I couldn't let this go uncommented ... Graham87 ( talk ) 09:01, 3 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Notwithstanding the reasonable requirement that people do not write their own reviews I submit that the entry should stand, or someone else write it because it is not a review, it is only a statement of fact. The title chosen was a play with the title of a book which was called 'The Power and the Glory which was about grand prix racing cars - the cars I was writing about had lots of power for their weight but didn't have any glory. That left me with a title which was the same an Australian novel of no particular merit by Frank Hardy which does have space on Wikipedia. There I wrote a short footnote explaining that there was another book with the same title and it was about Cooper racing cars. They-who-must-be-obeyed objected and deleted my footnote so I wrote a short separate entry. I feel Wikipedia should provide in some way for their being ,multiple books with the same title. I must have a look- how it deals with The Power and the Glory. Tsrwright ( talk ) 09:15, 3 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I see there are numerous entries for 'The Power and the Glory' including such as The Power and the Glory (Bad Ends album).

As previously noted it was favourably reviewed by the significant journals in its field, The Automoblile and Octane. Copies of these and other reviews appear on the publishers website at www.loosefillings.com but you do have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the home page . to find them but that doesn't take too long I don't understand how there can be a vote for delete simply because one person can't find all the reviews. Perhaps the problem lies with this not being a subject of interest to some of the people here. Anyway, there is a Loose Fillings article on line that lists some of the other reviews dated 03/12/2015 such as the following John Staveley in The Bulletin of the Vintage Sports Car Club On first opening this heavy, well produced book it immediately becomes apparent that it is … a vibrant story of motor racing starting before the turn of the twentieth century but quickly moving on to post World War 2 airfield circuits. … an important work, written in an entertaining style, beautifully illustrated and great value. What a good book! Highly recommended. Doug Nye, author of Cooper Cars on the Nostalgia Forum (an Autocar online forum) … here’s a beautifully-designed, very well-produced, highly detailed and sophisticated piece of engineering and sporting history—really well worth the money. Respect! He has spread his remit to cover the entire background story of small capacity competition cars after much diligent research, and deals with the nativity of the 500cc movement itself in really interesting depth. I rate it as an important, hefty, and good looking addition to any real motor sport enthusiast’s book shelf. John Medley, author of Bathurst – Cradle of Australian Motor Racing in The Oily Rag This is a marvellous book. You should buy it. It is filled with fascinating detail, a clear story line, broad and deep in its history and humanity, astonishing in its memorabilia and automobiliana, the author’s research and footnoting a model for other writers, the author’s hands-on experience in the field impeccably unmatched … The book is well produced, thoughtfully designed, and too heavy to read in bed. David Moore, Shelsley Walsh archivist in MAC News (Midland Automobile Club This excellent book is so much more than the title suggests as it covers a wide motor racing history … the JAP and Vincent units are fully illustrated by the author who clearly knows his subject in great depth … Interestingly, the author not only describes the origins of the cars themselves but also paints vivid pictures of the motor racing, social and political scenes of their eras. Jerry Sturman in Speedscene, journal of the Hillclimb and Sprint Association Fills a significant gap in motorsport history … All enthusiasts will want to have this one on their shelves … Entertainingly written and superbly laid out … the book is a visual treat as well as being a meticulously researched, in-depth survey of the history and development of the motorcycle V-twin engine in competition. Mike Cooper, Managing Director, Cooper Car Company Ltd I have been buried in the book all weekend. It is a fascinating read and I am sure many other motor racing enthusiasts will really enjoy it.

Doug butler ( talk ) 22:21, 5 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note for closer: Doug butler is the person who originally split the article into its own page. I'm adding this comment out of chronological order because I think it's far more important for closing this discussion than the comments by the book's author below. Graham87 ( talk ) 05:35, 6 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Doug Butler posted the separate article way back when, but after all these years he thinks it should be deleted! Tsrwright ( talk ) 13:59, 7 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I don't think whether or not Doug Nye books are mentioned on Wikipedia is the issue, Doug (Butler). Presumably nobody has put up information about any of Doug's books but that is hardly a reason for excluding my book which should be judged on its merits not by whether Wikipedia adequately covers other books. I initially posted a brief note on the original Power Without Glory page that there was another book with the same main title and that simple fact surely ought to be on the record. When that was rejected by other contributors I created my own, very simple, factual record which is that which is now under discussion. I have made some minor changes to the current page to better describe the book's significance in first documenting some of the key influences on the design of the modern racing car and I hope that helps. If that and any other changes are not good enough for Wikipedia's standards then just for the completeness of the facts something needs to be stated on the 'other' book's entry. Meanwhile, back to Doug and the question of the source of his review of the book which I think was online. I don't have that reference but here is his personal comment by email back in 2015: Extended content *:On 6 November 2015 at 23:34, Doug Nye wrote: WOW Terry, Great piece of work. Just arrived. I LOVE it! (redacted) On 7 Nov 2015, at 02:26, Terry Wright wrote: Thank you very much, Doug, I very much appreciate the kind words. How do you feel about me using a sentence of yours on my Facebook page ... ? (redacted) Your daughters certainly did a great job for you Terry. For your Facebook page by all means use anything you like. For example: “I was expecting a pretty basic agricultural old banger of a book - instead here’s a beautifully designed, very well-produced, highly detailed and sophisticated piece of engineering and sporting history - really well worth the money. Respect!” Best - Doug Tsrwright ( talk ) 02:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Wikipedia is a summary of what secondary sources say about a topic, not what other people privately think of it. I have taken the liberty of hiding the email to hopefully make the discussion easier to read for everyone. If I've messed up the formatting while doing so, feel free to fix it. As for the argument about precedent, this article is just ... way out of range of what is normal here. To make an analogy in a different topic, federal and state politicians are inherently notable here ; the notability of this book compared to most non-fiction works on Wikipedia is like comparing the notability of the current Australian Prime Minister to a random council member of a small shire (let's pick on the City of Busselton where I live for an example). Newspaper coverage of said council member would only be restricted to the Busselton area except in extremely unusual circumstances, just as coverage of a book about a very niche topic like this one is only restricted to special interest magazines/websites about that topic. The essay Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill is tangentially relevant. Also, Tsrwright, if I'd noticed your edits to the Power Without Glory novel page in 2015, I would have simply reverted them as self-promotion ... as would have many many other Wikipedia editors. You're lucky you're self-promotion lasted this long. Graham87 ( talk ) 05:35, 6 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is becoming a very twisted argument and I take exception to the statement, 'You're lucky you're self-promotion lasted this long'. I did not need a line or two on Wikipedia for promotional purposes; all I did was turn to Wikipedia simply to update its record of facts. I am not a philosopher so I have to rely on commonsense which tells me that just like the earth being round, it is a fact that this book meets the criterion of significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Any other ideas such as 'self-promotion' and this being 'a book about a very niche topic' are simply opinion. It also suggests that what you regard as 'notable' is very much influenced by what you are interested in and that does not speak well of Wikipedia. Tsrwright ( talk ) 13:35, 7 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete having tagged a few australian motorsport article talk pages, and motorsport articles in my time, I find the lack of a broad set of WP:RS to substantiate the notability and it is sufficient argument to delete. There is nothing from this discussion above that convinces me otherwise. Admittedly book stubs are hard at times to find enough reviews in reasonable third party sources, but that should not be an argument to keep. JarrahTree 06:24, 6 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources . Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says: A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources , at least one of the following criteria: The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy , or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book. Sources Dixon, Mark; Lillywhite, David (February 2016). "Power without glory: Racing the big-twin Cooper". Octane . No. 152. p. 166. ProQuest 1777019207 . The review provides 416 words about the subject. The review notes: "The sub-line on the front cover says 'Racing the Big-Twin Cooper' but this is so much more than that. It's better described in the blurb on the back: ... And actually, it's a bit more than that too, because in exploring the development of the first Cooper racing cars, and their predecessors in Great Britain and the USA, author Terry Wright also examines the conditions in which the populaces of the two countries were living before and after World War Two. All this turns what might have been a dry tome into a genuinely entertaining read. ... To help explain those racing scenes, Wright adds in fascinating social history of the period, which brings to life the wonderfully varied (and beautifully reproduced) archive pictures of cyclecars, midget racers and specials driven mostly sideways by their gung-ho owners, wearing little if no protective gear. For those images alone, the book is worth every penny of the £55 cover price. That it's a great read as well is simply a huge bonus." Mallett, Delwyn (January 2016). "Power Without Glory: Racing the Big-Twin Cooper". The Automobile . pp. 83–84. The automobile historian G. N. Georgano said , " The Automobile is the only motoring magazine that I read from cover to cover. When it arrives, treat all other magazines are put aside until I have studied it thoroughly’." The review notes: "With the scene set, the latter part of Terry's book concentrates on racing and hill climbing in the UK and Europe from 1948. Event and personality photographs are outstanding, and include work by such photographers as Klemantaski. Terry's sense of history survives, with the rear-engine Benz representing Germany and the rather disturbing Elfe, France. One particularly evocative pair of shots shows manufacture under way in the Cooper garage, contrasted with the vast Brabazon assembly hall. A particular strength of the action shots is captions giving intelligent summaries of each driver's style and success or failure, while the main text goes into detail on performance and incidents during practice as well as in the event. ... The cover price of this book, not cheap for a specialised publication, is justified by the quality of production and breadth of coverage. Wright gives a balanced picture of the light racing car renaissance born, primarily, from a British willingness to get stuck in and build a car from available parts. To stand a chance, the result had to be a light, simple and economical racer which could be run successfully by amateurs in the face of more expensive and complex designs. Book and philosophy are recommended." The other reviews listed by siroxo. There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Power Without Glory: Racing the Big-Twin Cooper to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline , which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 10:47, 10 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I suggest the posting by Cunard is a sufficient statement of the book's qualification for a Wikipedia entry. If the contents are relevant then I believe it further qualifies as 'notable' because it is an authoritative account of the largely undocumented origins and early development of the modern open-wheeled racing car. Tsrwright ( talk ) 03:27, 11 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] As the author of the book, you have little standing to make such comments. [[ Notability on Wikipedia is not about how a work fills a niche; it's about whether it's received enough attention from the world at large to get an article here. As the nominator of this discussion, I don't think it has. I think the cited reviews are too specialised to really assert notability here. While researching the publisher, I noticed that the book's author helps run the publishing company, , making this book effectively self-published. I also question if there are any relationships (even monetary ones) between the book's author, publishers, and reviewers that may make the reviews less independent than they appear; the book's in a tiny niche, after all. I also notice that the notability criterion about reviews that this AFD hinges on has been strongly questioned in the past; I've mentioned this discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (books) to find out if we can get some more input. Graham87 ( talk ) 12:09, 11 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It appears from my reading of it that the discussion on deleting the criterion of two reviews ended in 2020 with numerous votes against change so surely that matter was dealt with then. Bear in mind that the book in question, of which I am the author and one of the publishers, had reviews from at least two (there might have been three, I forget) of the leading independent journals plus a number from lesser but still independent journals as well as one undisputed authority. It might also be noted that these reviews were laudatory as well as there being an award from the Society of Automotive Historians. As far as I can tell the 'notability' criterion has been met. That being so, deletion should require evidence that diminishes that notability but so far there has been none other than a claim, such as above, that this book is in a 'tiny niche' which I dispute. That raises the question is how large does a niche have to be for the book not to be excluded from Wikipedia. Wikipedia is full of niche information, tiny and otherwise, and surely that is one of its strengths. Tsrwright ( talk ) 06:28, 12 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] By the way, there are no relationships monetary or otherwise between the book's author and publisher (who were in Sydney, Australia), and the reviewers who were mainly in England. As wisely stated earlier, less personal talk, more source analysis would help close this discussion. Tsrwright ( talk ) 06:49, 12 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - WP:COI editing is a red herring that can be dealt with at other venues.

That some editors think the topic and the reviews specialized is irrelevant; that is not part of the GNG criteria. If you think this sort of topic should not have an article, you need to change the notability criteria to be based on something other than the existence of in-depth reliable independent sources, rather than pretending that those sources somehow don't count for reasons that are not part of the criteria.

The first source, an article titled "Movies available on tape in Canberra" from 1983, does not contain SIGCOV of the subject. The second source, a review of The Unquestioning , is a short plot synopsis. The third source is a link to a library catalog page.

On your points in reverse order: 2. Each of those four sources attest to the significance of his roles in each of the productions, directly addressing the NACTOR#1 criteria of significant roles in notable productions. (Note that number 2 is not about The Unquestioning , thats just the opening two words) 1. By maintaining a delete position you are opining that the cuttings are not good enough. And I don't understand your point about a scrapbook. How would cutting a newspaper article out of the paper and placing it in a scrapbook make it any less valid? duffbeerforme ( talk ) 03:56, 24 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Criterion 1 of NACTOR requires significant roles in multiple notable films , television shows, stage performances, or other productions (emphasis added). His roles might have been significant in each of the films you've cited, but there's no evidence that any of those films are notable under either GNG or NFO . I think the sources you've provided, while reliable, are the equivalent of TV Guide synopses, not reviews by established critics such that the films are notable. voorts ( talk / contributions ) 05:06, 24 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It's not up to the Peter Hehir article to show that other subjects are notable. But anyway: The Sullivans is clearly notable and has won 5 Logies. Fast Talking (three AFI nomination) has multiple reviews such as in the New York Times by Walter Goodman 23 April 1986. Also in Cinema Papers *2, Sun-Herald, The Age. It is also covered in depth in Australian film 1978-1994 : a survey of theatrical features [10] .

Busytown: Pure plot summary and a mess - article's lead is "about fictional town", then starts talking about a fictional universe, proceeding to list major characters from the associated franchise. References - just some YouTube links. Prod challenged by User:A. B. who wrote: "This article is an overview of a series of books, games and TV shows that are in Richard Scarry's Busy Town (a.k.a. Busytown, a.k.a. Busy World, a.k.a. Busyworld) universe. You can find lots of articles about Richard Scarry that talk about this world as well as articles about individual books, games and shows. I did not find any that were just about "Busy Town". I am removing the deletion note anyway since an umbrella article for all these things. Note that there is also a template associated with this article, Template:Busytown . If this article is to be deleted, it should be discussed at AfD." So - here we go. I'll note that the series/franchise might be notable, but what we have here violates WP:GNG / WP:ALLPLOT /etc. and needs a WP:TNT . An article about series/franchise should be written from scratch based on sources. Arguably, one could do so using the second paragraph here - but where are the sources? We could also merge that paragraph into an article about the author, but again, I don't like merging unreferenced content.

The subject itself meets WP:GNG with notable aspects that might not be comfortably merged into author's bio or any of the existing articles at {{ Busytown }} . There's useful prose to build off of in this article, though I think we can expand the scope to be more of a broad summary of the media focused around the topic (including "Busy People", "Busy World", etc). This "universe" is a massive cultural touchstone in children's media in the US. Such an article is probably the best way to cover this topic. I don't see a tentpole article dedicated to it right now. Coverage of this article's subject ranges from education, to analogies, to criticism to reviews of multi-media including a 1994 CD-ROM. Here's a refdump to get us going (not exhaustive): [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] — siro χ o 04:49, 7 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Just look at ref 1 - this is gibberish. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 03:27, 8 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It's using it as an analogy. This is just a quick non-exhaustive search to show how broad coverage is of this subject. — siro χ o 03:34, 8 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] While I am not disagreeing that the series may be motable (may, not is - no obviously good sources have been pointed out, we are at the WP:THEREMAYBESOURCES stage), as I said, the article right now is so poor it merits WP:TNTing . Redirecting it with soft deletion is being "nice". Of course, if anyone wants to rewrite it now, go for it - as you know, I am happy to withdraw nominations if fixes happen. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 03:09, 10 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge to Richard Scarry or at least redirect. Plenty of coverage of Scarry and his bibliography of books in Busytown, but as a fictional location, there's no real coverage of the various characters at the level of this detail. Scarry's article could probably include a Busytown section to briefly describe the fictional world he wrote/illustrated but that's about it. -- M asem ( t ) 05:13, 7 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge to an author or series page. The article's subject matter as a fictional setting isn't supported by significant coverage in secondary sources. The above proposed reference list is a mix of trivial mentions and examples of primary source uses or reviews of works that feature the setting. I think the article would be warranted if there is a reliable source of independent overview or analysis of the Busytown world in Scarry's literature outside of primary sources. At present, there isn't, but hopefully more can be found. VRXCES ( talk ) 22:19, 7 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep as @ Siroxo says the article subject is notable and the article has some good text. It's a different topic to Scarry himself as he did a variety of work of which the Busytown books are only a subset. I have added a small analysis and criticism section which includes several high quality citations. Each gives direct focus to the book with the possible exception of the Journal of Pragmatics article which just uses it as an example. Two (the Carnegie Magazine and Poetics) articles should easily count as SIGCOV. I agree this article needs more references although the obvious source would be the books themselves (not for notability, but as a reference). It seems to me many articles about books contain a "plot" section which is uncited for obvious reasons. Oblivy ( talk ) 08:31, 8 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment I respect and admire your approach to improve an article at risk of deletion. I disagree that the approach of collating academic minutiae can construct notability in itself, but it is a helpful thing to do. The Carnegie magazine primarily refers to an exhibit of the same name at the Carnegie Science Center. The Poetics journal is an obscure philosophical flourish on the depiction of animal labor in one Scarry book. The Occupational Medicine article mostly just describes the visual presentation of the cover of one book. The Pragmatics article does not mention Busytown. This would all be fine, but the article itself still lacks a foundation of having secondary sources reliably describe what Busytown is in Scarry's work. In terms of analysis and commentary, I'm still not sure why this couldn't be better covered in an article about the series/media (which doesn't seem to be called Busytown ) or of the author's work in the primary article. Hope I'm not coming on too strong over the notability of the setting of a children's book! But just my thoughts. VRXCES ( talk ) 09:43, 8 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thanks for looking at the sources. We can disagree (and I do) but I appreciate your thoughtful remarks. The poetics journal strikes me as a way of talking about how a ubiquitous children's book can influence how kids view labor roles. More importantly, it's entirely devoted to Busytown (and not the author) as a subject. And Carnegie museum article talks a lot about to article subject (the interview with the librarian) and why they decided to devote an entire museum exhibition to it. WP:GNG asks for significant coverage of the article subject in independent reliable sources, and these two are just that. For sure other cites are less in-depth. The question of what Busytown represents as part of Scarry's work probably belongs in his article, but this topic is deserving of an article. Oblivy ( talk ) 23:29, 8 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] No worries! I sometimes overthink this stuff and am mindful it can come off as being a bit much. VRXCES ( talk ) 23:54, 8 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thanks for the start on improving it. I will try to get to it as well (or at the very least try to provide a more helpful source analysis beyond my above refdump). — siro χ o 04:56, 9 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Not bad. If we were to remove the fancrufty list of characters, this would start looking as a proper encyclopedic article. I suggest you do this and ping everyone who voted oppose so that they can reconsider their views, and I'll do this myself when I have time to read this more closely. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 03:11, 10 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I have made another set of revisions including adding general cites and citations for some of the major characters, as well as some new text. IMHO the demand to remove part of the article is not appropriate at this forum per WP:NOTCLEANUP . That part of the article has considerable merit even if it needs editing. As it stands the article has adequate sourcing for notability which should be enough. Oblivy ( talk ) 09:22, 12 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Agree that cleanup is needed but this is, like siro pointed out, a cultural touchstone with (IMO) sufficient sourcing. At risk of being a WP:WHATABOUT offender... there's an entire article for the Busytown Mysteries spinoff.

Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. As it says, meeting one or more doesn't guarantee inclusion. If you think this person should be included then stop inferring WP:ANYBIO is a slamdunk when the text clearly says it isn't.

JMWt ( talk ) 20:02, 15 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I'll repeat what I've already said elsewhere: Do you think everybody is included in national biographical dictionaries then? They're very selective. To my knowledge, nobody included in such a publication has ever been deleted at AfD, indicating clear consensus that it counts as sufficient coverage per WP:GNG . What do you think the point of WP:ANYBIO #3 is, exactly? It's essentially to point out that it would be utterly ludicrous if Wikipedia didn't consider someone notable when a reliable biographical dictionary did. So, yes, it's a perfectly valid argument. Far more so than your vague "I don't think she's notable", which is essentially WP:IDONTLIKEIT . -- Necrothesp ( talk ) 10:29, 16 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] This is not how we do discussions. I can understand your frustration but I'm not entertaining engagement with you where you try to imply guidelines say things they don't and where you imply somehow I'm not acting in good faith. I don't believe someone who has been a teacher and headteacher is notable. I don't believe that simple statements in newspapers would 'normally' count towards notability and I don't believe that we should consider presence in a dictionary of biography as a slamdunk. You don't like it, that's fine. We have a difference of opinion. Either discuss the notability with regard to guidelines and policies of en.wiki. Or don't. That's it. JMWt ( talk ) 12:12, 16 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I am in no way implying that you are not acting in good faith. I am saying that you are arguing against longstanding consensus (which is a policy, by the way). You may not realise that you are, but when several other experienced editors tell you that you are then it's time to concede that you may be wrong instead of trying to tell them that they're wrong. -- Necrothesp ( talk ) 14:41, 16 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

James500 ( talk ) 08:47, 16 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:ROUTINE - simple statements about appointmentsin newspapers are not usually considered sufficient for notability. JMWt ( talk ) 12:05, 16 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The ADB article satisfies GNG, so trying to pick off the newspaper articles in Trove is a red herring. However, WP:ROUTINE is a guideline for the notability of events, not the notability of people. An SNG is not applicable to any article outside the subject to which the SNG actually applies. I should also point out that the articles in Trove are actually biographies, and are not merely simple statements about an appointment. James500 ( talk ) 13:18, 16 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Ok that's fair. Let's look at WP:BASIC which is part of the notability guidelines for people. It states If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability. The ADB does not on its own satisfy the standard of WP:ANYBIO and trivial coverage is not usually sufficient to establish notability per WP:BASIC . So let's look at the Trove articles you supply. 1 is coverage amounting to a few paras of an appointment. 2 is coverage amounting to a few paras of an appointment 3 is coverage amounting to a few paras of an appointment. These are by definition trivial. The only source which could count towards notability is the book you mentioned. JMWt ( talk ) 13:37, 16 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The depth of coverage in the ADB article is substantial. The depth of coverage in the newspaper biographies is also substantial. The newspapers may be using a recent appointment as an excuse to write a biography, but each biography is not actually about that appointment. They are about the whole of Adamson's life over a period from at least 1926 to 1949. The sources are not trivial.

Seems odd to question its notability, and an assessment of such is worth more than a glance. Carlstak ( talk ) 22:00, 15 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] At this point it's obvious that the nomination for deletion is null and void. The article has 9,461 bytes and 14 citations of scholarly sources, including Cambridge Scholars Publishing, John Wiley & Sons, and Routledge. It should have been clear from the get-go that an article subject cited as a source by many scholarly publications would be likely to have reliable sources for its notability. WP:NEXIST says: Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility that sources may still exist even if their search failed to uncover any. That clearly didn't happen. One wonders if there is some bias operative here, unconscious or otherwise. Carlstak ( talk ) 14:03, 16 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] What a ridiculous insulting interpretation. You're complaining that the 50 overworked NPP'ers trying to handle 600 articles per day during their limited wiki-minutes didn't go find sources that none of the millions of editors didn't bother to find and put in the article? And that even at AFD nobody has produced? And the explanation for that is bias? North8000 ( talk ) 15:31, 16 December 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Mind your temper. It's part of the guideline that you yourself cited. A 30-second Google Books search would have sufficed to indicate the possibility that supporting sources might exist , just as the guideline says. I don't see how it could be clearer than "before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility that sources may still exist even if their search failed to uncover any." It's not about temper. I was criticizing you doing "inventing bad faith" instead of AGF, especially when the AGF explanation is much more plausible.

Recurring elements in the Final Fantasy series: It is also, I fear, a major fail of WP:GNG and WP:OR (and of Good Article review requirements...). No sources cited use the term 'recurring' in the title. We don't have any category for "recurring elements in work of fiction" (the closest concept we have is on recurring character ). The article does not define the topic outside lead (with no references there); in fact the term " recurring element " is used in article just three times: in the very name, in the lead, and in a single sentence in the body ("Twin antagonists, with the second main antagonist being hidden for the majority of the game, is also a recurring element" - a sentence sourced to... errr, an offline game trailer??) No sources I can see in my BEFORE tackling this particular topic. The article is effectively an essay stretching the definition of recurring - it discusses stuff from the obvious ("Stories in the series frequently emphasize the internal struggles, passions, and tragedies of the characters..." - wow, those recurring elements might be found in any and all works of fiction!), series-specific (crystals, chocobo, character names or specific characters recurring in the series, game mechanics), to irrelevant ("The Final Fantasy series and several specific games within it have been credited for introducing and popularizing many concepts that are today widely used in console RPGs." that have nothing to do with "recurring elements"). Bottom line, the fact that FF series have recurring elements like chocobos or like is trivial, and might merit mention in the article on Final Fantasy media franchise, but it is not an encyclopedic topic that merits a stand-alone article, not until such a time this topic (of "recurring elements in FF" is covered in depth by reliable sources - not offline video game trailers...). Again, this is a major failure of OR and GNG, as I fear the author of this confused Wikipedia to publish an essay on video gaming trivia. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 12:33, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] As a note, this article was not someone's personal essay, but a 2016 merger of Gameplay of Final Fantasy , Final Fantasy character jobs , and Character design of Final Fantasy in an attempt to consolidate these series-aspect spinouts into a more cohesive whole. Those article themselves were the result of a decade of consolidation of minor spinouts like Minigames of Final Fantasy (merged 2011). -- Pres N 13:16, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements , Science fiction and fantasy , and Video games . Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 12:33, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - After my initial skimming of the article, it all looks like valid content that is routinely covered by series articles. Given giant scope of the respective series article , I assume this was more of a WP:SIZESPLIT . I'm leaning much more towards re-titling than deleting. Sergecross73 msg me 12:53, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Do note that SIZESPLIT stresses that splits should occurr "only if the new articles are themselves sufficiently notable to be included in the encyclopedia". There is also the OR angle to consider. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 13:08, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I say "retitle" as a means of addressing your OR concerns. It's very clearly reliable source commentary on the series. No one would bat an eye if all of this was just in the series articles, so there's obviously ways to do it while avoiding OR. Sergecross73 msg me 13:17, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge (Or perhaps the better word to describe it would be "split"?) It seems like overall this article is a very excessively-detailed description of stuff that should (and is) covered in the mainline articles via summary style (the series article itself is 43 kB, not exactly in a "dire need of splitting" state, and duplicates some of this content anyhow.) I agree with Piotrus that stuff like Cid and the characters completely veer into trivia; that stuff isn't necessary to understand the series, and it's not integral. The fact is that Final Fantasy has a lot of commonalities, but it's also a very diffuse and sprawling franchise at this point and trying to address everything like it's one big video game development section doesn't seem like it has the sourcing behind it. This fundamentally isn't any different than those "Development of..." articles the VG project has realized are generally not appropriate; it's duplicative and forking of a lot of content already on Wikipedia.

Sergecross73 msg me 13:41, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment – This article would be Final Fantasy 's version of a "Universe of [x]" article, à la Universe of The Legend of Zelda . I don't think it's in good spirit to literally look for "recurring elements" or similar terms in source titles: I'll grand that this title might not be optimal. It would take a dive in the sources to find if there's enough to say about the franchise thematic and universal consistency (or inconsistency?) to form an article. I'm taken aback by how many sources used are tweets or development updates for sequels; in that sense I do think there's a problem here. I also think an article somewhat similar to this one is probably very reasonable, however. The recurring elements and inconsistencies of Final Fantasy 's worlds is quite well-discussed I'm sure. ~ Maplestrip/Mable ( chat ) 13:42, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "Shared elements of the Final Fantasy series" may be a better way of naming it. "Recurring" does sound a bit like the writers of the article are looking for anything and everything that is the same in later entries. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 13:45, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Nomination is not convincing here IMO, way overfocusing on if the words "recurring element" are applicable. If you dislike the title of the article, that's cause to go to WP:RM - not for deletion. "Recurring elements" is a descriptive title ( WP:DESCRIPTIVE ), i.e. just a Wikipedia term, and thus isn't expected to be mentioned constantly. If anything, perhaps parts of the article should be split back out again for more coherent topics like in 2016, but this would not be in an AFD sense but rather a content organization sense with no content lost. To get to the topic AFD is more interested in, are there valid secondary sources for all this? Yes (by far the most important criterion!). Would this cause bloat if moved into other articles, meaning this is a valid WP:SUMMARYSTYLE split? Yes. Does this also help with repetition so that an element shared across the series can easily be wikilinked so that the general idea of a character named Cid can be invoked? Yes. Not seeing a problem here. SnowFire ( talk ) 14:19, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . Whether or not the article should be retitled to better reflect its content is one discussion, but deleting the whole thing is another altogether. The article contains a spate of in-depth RS coverage on the article's topic. The exact phrase "recurring elements" is unnecessary here, in the same way that, for example, sources in List of Final Fantasy media do not need to use the exact word "media" if the items listed all fit the plain definition of the term. RSes treat these elements as important enough to dedicate sustained coverage to them, and treat them as defining aspects of the series, and that is good enough for an article. Phediuk ( talk ) 14:34, 25 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - The nom's argument that the topic fails GNG and OR is easily debunked by examining the article's exhaustive and extensive sourcing.

Ben Driebergen: Sure, he also appeared in Survivor: Winners at War , but he didn't win the season, and his gameplay hasn't received coverage outside recaps, especially by Entertainment Weekly . Also, he was medically evacuated twice in The Challenge: USA and The Challenge: World Championship . Outside Survivor , I don't see how else he is notable for his other activities, and I don't think medical evacuations from The Challenge would suffice, would it?

I was frustrated by repeated assumptions from others that being a one-time Survivor winner makes one person notable. Those assumptions were countered by AFD discussions, yet I see one like this lately. If I failed to convince you this time that my tone wasn't "snarky", then... whatevs. Anyways, in this case, merely reappearing in Winners at War has been proven insufficient, which led two articles into being redirected. Furthermore, being medically evacuated from The Challenge didn't save another article from being deleted.

Xclusivzik ( talk ) 17:27, 25 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . There are a number of claims in the article that might lead to one concluding that this person is notable if they were true, but the claims don't seem to actually be true; the article seems to have substantial errors: There's a claim in the article that the individual's song, "Mina Nawe", was #1 in South Africa. If that's true, the individual would pass WP:NMUSIC #2. However, there's no source, I can't independently verify it, and I doubt its veracity. There's also a claim that the individual has had multiple 2-platinum certified songs; this would pass WP:NMUSIC #3 ( Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country ) if true. The sources for this are TimesLive ( Wikipedia article ) , ZaTunes , and RISA . The TimesLive piece doesn't actually support this claim, and the RISA website notes that Soa Mattrix was one of 3 featured artists on "Nomathemba", a certified platinum song by DJ Givy Baby, but I don't think that this sort of credit is qualifying for purposes of NMUSIC#3. And, RISA doesn't actually support the 2x platinum claim for any of the artist's own songs. Meanwhile, ZaTunes is not listed at WP:A/S , and it doesn't really appear to be the sort of site that can be used to establish claims of music certification. Then come the claims regarding music awards; the article notes that the artist has been nominated multiple times in the South African Amapiano Music Awards. Given the relative recency of the Amapiano genre, and the lack of an apparent established awards series, I don't think that this would help meet the bar set in WP:NMUSIC #8 (i.e. [h]as won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award ). Overall, I'm not seeing anything that's indicating notability due to something subject-specific, but I don't have access to non-English publications that might have covered the artist significantly. As such, I leave the bold as a comment, but I'd lean towards deletion if WP:SIGCOV cannot be found. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 21:24, 27 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , per below; it's not clear to me why the one RISA source that's cited in the article is wrong, but the link provided below is fairly convincing that "Mina Nawe" is certified at higher than gold ( WP:NMUSIC #3) and that Soa Mattrix is the primary artist for the song. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 23:48, 30 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Subject has a Double Platinum certified record and was also featured on a Platinum record certified by RiSA .

Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 14:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC) Keep now that an election opinion poll has been released and added to the page. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 20:56, 16 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] There are already four polls in there. — Czello ( music ) 09:42, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] But none of those are opinion polls for the next election. As the article clearly states: As of 12 July 2024, no voting intent opinion polls have yet been published since the 2024 general election -- John B123 ( talk ) 09:48, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The page isn't titled 'voting intention opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election'. Approval rating polls are on the page, since it is a page about polling related to the next election. All of the polls on the page are opinion polls. Benocalla2 ( talk ) 14:11, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The page is entitled Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election . None of the polls are related to that. -- John B123 ( talk ) 14:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] So then your argument should first be we shouldn't include approval polls (which talk pages would reject, since they are polls relating to opinion), before you argue we delete a page which will be recreated soon after. Talk pages exist to weed out these debates, you can't just nominate a page for deletion because you disagree with what's included Benocalla2 ( talk ) 17:07, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I've nominated the page for deletion firstly because there are no opinion polls for the next election yet. The polls you mention are supplemental to the main subject of the page. Secondly, as there are no opinion polls for the next election, there can be no references for them to establish WP:GNG (A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject). Without GNG there can be no article. The fact that almost certainly there will be polls in the future is irrelevant, at the present time the article does not meet the notability requirements. John B123 ( talk ) 17:38, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] On the topic of GNG, as it's been brought up more than once now – on a technical level that could be argued, but realistically it's simply not true. Yes, opinion polling will always be notable, even if the 'main' opinion polling, (rather than approval ratings) has not begun yet. It's difficult to argue this fails GNG when we all know the article will be recreated in a week or two anyway. Deleting it on this technicality seems to run afoul of WP:NOTBUREAUCRACY . — Czello ( music ) 17:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Benocalla2 Generally, there is a separate article for leadership approval polling. But that’s besides the main point, there’s all of 4 polls, there is no reason this can’t be merged into the also small article for the general election itself until there are at least a couple dozen voting intent polls. Its simply easier to manage. N1TH Music ( talk ) 15:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Speedy redirect For goodness sake, do not create articles that have literally zero content about the actual subject just to have an article. This belongs in the main article until actually warranted. Reywas92 Talk 14:55, 13 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] There is not "literally zero content". Four polls are already in there. — Czello ( music ) 09:43, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] But those 4 polls are not Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election which is the page title, so in relation the the page title "literally zero content" is a fair comment. -- John B123 ( talk ) 14:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , as suggested above by G-13114 , there's very little reason to delete this article when in a matter of days it'll probably have more poll entries on it than your typical NZ election would have in total by the end of their government's 3 year term. This in addition to the fact that despite not being any post-election voting intention polls as of yet, there already exist a handful of leadership rating polls conducted after the election on the page already. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeahnamate ( talk • contribs ) 15:10, 13 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : article will obviiously become more important over the next 4-5 years (after which it will becone a historical record) - why delete something that would inevitably have to be created and why waste other editor's time? Roy Bateman ( talk ) 05:37, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] • Keep, there's little reason to delete the article since it will be recreated within a week of its deletion. The article shouldn't have been created before any VI polling was done, however that isn't justification to delete it. There are still opinion polls on the page (party and leadership approval) and such it still fulfils the title purpose. This discussion is a waste of time, and it is preventing editors from actually contributing to wikipedia. Opinion polls aren't just voting intention, they are polls asking for public opinion. Benocalla2 ( talk ) 14:09, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect to Next United Kingdom general election for now and recreate article when more polling has been completed and the results published. 217.79.149.203 ( talk ) 17:48, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , as it's abundantly clear that it won't be long until this is definitely a justified page to have. It's not as if there's a chance that there will never be justification for this page. 146.90.4.163 ( talk ) 17:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Almost certain that this will change within the next fortnight, not to mention other means of polling, if not approval data, listed upon the page; Having acknowledged that there are no apparent documents of official opinion polling as of yet, it is suffice to say further shall become available shortly. Temporarily deleting the article until recreation after opinion polling is published is simply beyond futile. TheRevisionary ( talk ) 13:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : this article will be relevant later; there is no point deleting this, as polling will appear within 4 weeks. This would be better rather than deleting this and creating this again. Gordonltycall ( talk ) 16:47, 15 July 2024 (UTC) — Gordonltycall ( talk • contribs ) has made few or no other edits outside this topic [ reply ] Keep. There is now national VI polling and there will be more in the coming weeks. CipherRephic ( talk ) 17:58, 15 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment @ Dclemens1971 and CipherRephic : The WeThink poll recently added to the page is a poll on the last election not the next one. As far as I'm aware there are still no polls for the next election. Whilst at some stage in the future, when several relevant polls have been carried out, this will be a valid article, at present it fails the WP:GNG notability guidelines. From WP:CLOSEAFD : Consensus is not based on a tally of votes, but on reasonable, logical, policy-based arguments . Arguments such as little reason to delete the article since it will be recreated within a week of its deletion are not policy based. So the work editors have already put into the article is not lost, I would suggest the article is draftified until sufficient polls have been carried out to enable it to pass WP:GNG . -- John B123 ( talk ) 22:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Scroll down halfway on the WeThink poll. It was fielded July 11-12 and included a question on future voting intention. I had no problem with this page existing once polls were available to include on it so I see no reason not to keep now. And of course the work on the article would not be lost with a redirect, but that expedient is no longer necessary. Dclemens1971 ( talk ) 23:09, 16 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The WeThink poll is not, in fact, "a poll on the last election." The fieldwork was conducted on the 11th and 12th of July, several days after the election, and while it asked some questions on the intricacies of voting behaviour going into the election, the section used by the article - the VI polling - covers the next election. CipherRephic ( talk ) 23:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Dclemens1971 and CipherRephic : Thanks for the clarification, I only read the first part of the article which is about the last election. -- John B123 ( talk ) 06:49, 17 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep. The first poll has already come out at this point. If it was deleted, it wouldn't be long before it was recreated anyway. DarkHorse234 ( talk ) 09:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep there is no reason to delete an article for the small period of time in between the last election and the first poll.

Isn't it time to put this to bed now? This should never have been reopened. G-13114 ( talk ) 17:57, 18 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep Frankly, it is ridiculous to suggest deleting this. Likewise any other such pages which show op.polls for a national election. 2.68.82.235 ( talk ) 18:12, 18 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep We already have polling for the next election coming out. This AFD was TOOSOON. FOARP ( talk ) 10:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge and Redirect to Next United Kingdom general election . Both articles are small: "Next United Kingdom general election" is just over 14000 bytes large and "Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election" is just over 13000 bytes. Compare those to this AfD which prior to my edit stood at 18000 bytes, and infact the AfD would have 1000 more words than the just under 1500 words a combined election and opinion polling article would have, and therefore it would be better for the time being to have one article covering both of these related topics, and there is no reason to WP:SPLIT them (with the words count being less than a quarter of the 6000 suggested as a baseline to start splitting articles based on length), rather it is inconvient to do this because it means we are separating out the two topics. To my knowledge, there is not enough notable information about either topic that would significantly lengthen either article. Some editors have commented that other elections have separate opinion poll articles, but WP:Other stuff exists points out this is not a good argument by itself, and the argument fails to recognise that other opinion polling articles have hundreds if not thousands of opinion polls and other surveys described in them, while the one in question has 1 opinion poll and a few surveys. Another point being made is along the lines of "there's no point deleting it now because it will just be recreated in the future". This argument seems a) to suggest it's difficult to recreate articles, which it isn't and b) to be an argument focused entirely on what will be best in the future, and not what is best now. So, for the short term, it would be best to have one article with all the verifiable information about the next UK general election, as there is not enough information to merit needing two articles. This will almost certainly change (although probably not as Czello says in a week or two as only a handful of polls would be published by then most likely), but I'm thinking about the here and now. To summarise, a list of a handful of opinion polls/surveys does not merit being a separate article. -- T ed E dwards 16:03, 19 July 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.
