Promotional article, requesting DRAFTIFY or deletion 1292simon (talk) 23:40, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I don't see how the article is promotional nor why it would need to be draftifyed. It covers the websites history, both its ups and downs and easily passes GNG based on the coverage in the article.★Trekker (talk) 23:43, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Neutral Quite a while ago there was a really concerted and annoying spamming effort to promote the ill-fated wrestling franchise on Wikipedia over a walled garden consisting of multiple spurious and over-elaborate articles that all got deleted. That is how this ended up on my watchlist. Even though that makes me instinctively suspicious whenever I hear mention of WhatCulture, I don't detect any of that nonsense here though. I see no indication that this article is intentionally promotional. What I do see is a subject that is borderline for notability. Many of the references are poor (primary sources, YouTube videos, etc) although a few are OK. The article almost exclusively focuses on the defunct wrestling franchise and controversy over the behaviour of a former employee. There is almost nothing about the site's current general operations. Is it over the line for notability? I'm not sure. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:17, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

- As someone who grew up reading the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News sports pages, I'd say that this is pretty routine coverage for a better player on a Temple football team. Best, GPL93 (talk) 03:47, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- First of all, a three-column feature story in a major metropolitan newspaper is not WP:ROUTINE coverage. Second, Callahan was not just a "better player" on a Temple team: he shattered Temple's all-time records for scoring (game, season, and career) and receiving yards (season and career).

Non-notable, insignificant geological event; does not pass any guidelines of Wikipedia:Notability_(earthquakes). Only sources are "mere routine news reporting of the event" that had no lasting impact. —Notorious4life (talk) 22:46, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Draftify {Creator} I 100% moved this too quick from a draft to an article. I feel like with work, this can become enough for an article. I agree it is small, but it is rare for earthquakes in the Detroit area and even though it was small, thousands reported feeling it. So my vote is Draftify as I moved it to an article too quickly. Elijahandskip (talk) 18:33, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. The relevant notability guideline here is WP:NEVENTS, and I'm not convinced that this earthquake satisfies that guideline. All that happened was some shaking, and according to local news,
No injuries or major damages have been reported.
[1] For this reason, this doesn't seem to pass WP:LASTING—it doesn't seem to have lasting significance. If the earthquake had caused significant damage or led to nontrivial changes in Detroit's earthquake preparedness, it might be a different story, but it doesn't appear to be the case. I'm disinclined to draftify because fundamentally the issue is lack of notability, and no amount of editing can overcome that issue, unfortunately. Mz7 (talk) 07:20, 5 September 2020 (UTC) - Delete While in principle I'd be happy to see this draftified to give the creating editor a chance to develop it further, given the apparently non-notable nature of the event, I can't quite see how it could be made notable? For that reason, even merging into the main Detroit Beach, Michigan article doesn't seem justified. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:35, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: Coverage doesn't show this was a notable event or was WP:LASTING. It happened, no injuries or damage, no impact other than people mentioning it for a short time. // Timothy :: talk 14:12, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Does not meet WP:GNG. Of the provided sources, [2] does not appear to mention the subject provides a narrative description of Baseer but does not provide analysis, [3] is self-published and thus likely unreliable, in addition to only providing coverage in the form of religious narrative that may not comprise significant coverage, [4] does not provide significant coverage, and [5] provides narrative coverage of questionable significance (and is old enough that I would hesitate to use it as a reliable secondary source). I wasn't able to find any additional coverage searching for various likely spellings of his name (as well as the Arabic name), although there does appear to be a Salafi imam by the same name who may be notable. signed, Rosguill talk 21:35, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

- Keep, Greetings, the first source does mention him as Abu Busir[6], he is mentioned in multiple works as a contemporary and companion of Mohamed and is invaluable in understanding the circumstances surrounding the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. His name is written in different ways, Abu Basir, Abu Busir, Abu Baseer or Abu Baser etc[7]. --Ozan33Ankara (talk) 19:43, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, I hadn't tried "Busir" as an alternative spelling. Still, from reading that portion it seems like a bare description of narrative. I don't see any analysis of Baseer's role beyond recounting the narrative of Muhammad's life. signed, Rosguill talk 19:48, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- I actually made the page since the page Abu Jandal ibn Suhayl mentions him 3 times. Also the same source on the Abu Jandal page mentions him too, History of the Prophets and Kings or in Arabic ( Tarikh al-Tabari ), Volume 8 [8]. Based on this i believe that there is no doubt that Abu Baseer is a notable historical figure according to WP:N, as he has received coverage in numerous works. He is also pivotal to understanding Islam in it's infancy. That's why I am for keeping his article. --Ozan33Ankara (talk) 23:26, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

The crux of this nomination is "Unnecessary article split that goes into too much detail about in-universe subjects", seeing as "fails to justify its existence through the reliable sources needed to pass WP:GNG" is irrelevant as far as deletion goes.

Non-notable generic highway bridge. Of the two sources in the article, one is a primary source bridge inventory form, and the other mentions this bridge in two sentences.

- Comment For those wondering why a nondescript bridge like this even has a name, there was a fad in the Georgia Legislature a few years ago where it they made it super easy to nominate a local person's name to be put on a piece of highway infrastructure. As a result nearly every bridge, highway ramp, interchange and roundabout in Georgia has a local person's name on it. It's a bit comical, really, almost worthy of an article itself as an annoying political phenomenon. --Krelnik (talk) 12:44, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Per WP:GEOFEAT Nondescript bridges are not usually the subject of dedications. This one was dedicated in 1953. The bridge is featured prominently in a book about the county. 1 Lightburst (talk) 15:18, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Not sure that two sentences in a local history book count as significant coverage. If one newspaper article and a couple sentences in a local history book count as significant coverage, well, I can think of dozens of bridges in my home county that could get articles .... and 2/3's of them are all on gravel roads.

- Comment: I added a postcard image of Oconee River Bridge, which per User:Lightburst's link's 1952 photo is the bridge with a central truss section adjacent to the Herschel Lovett Bridge (under construction). As can be seen in Google satellite view, the previous bridge with central truss section was since removed. --Doncram (talk) 00:38, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Merge, probably to Oconee River#Crossings, or "Keep" outright. It's not clear that this is terribly non-descript, and it is documented at least enough to be a list item. The topic could be expanded to cover, naturally, more about previous bridge(s) there even without renaming. Note none of the above !voters considered this option; hopefully they can update their !votes now considering this. I added a section for crossings to the Oconee River article. It is perfectly reasonable to have such a section. Note, it would probably be reasonable to have a list of bridges, highway ramps, interchanges, etc. which have been named by the Georgia Legislature; if that exists or is created now then that would be an alternative merger target. Better to merge/redirect than delete. --Doncram (talk) 00:29, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Merge per Doncram. I checked newspapers.com and found two sentences in one 1953 article about the dedication. I don't see enough to keep as a stand-alone article. There is a lot more about the "Oconee River Bridge" going back to the Civil War, some of which Doncram has added to Oconee River#Crossings. MB 02:44, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

My PROD rationale was "Both the reference and the external link are to user-generated sources. I wouldn't consider [1] to be substantial coverage, as it's just basically a release year and an image. There's a similar game coming out in 2020, but the article explaining it has no real coverage about this game, and even that source may come from a user, which would render it unreliable per WP:VGRS. This is also about the upcoming game. The 1991 version, which this article is about, just ain't notable" This was removed by Andrew Davidson with the explanation "per WP:DEPROD."

- Keep For an excellent, detailed review of the 1991 machine, see Joe's Classic Video Games. It looks very cool and so I can see why collectors will pay $5,000 or more for a good example. And now, in 2020, there's another TMNT machine generating a lot of buzz: IGN; Pinball News; This Week in Pinball; &c. So, we have plenty of notability and plenty of cool material to work with. The main thing we need are some good pictures but that's just the usual WP:IMPERFECT and not a reason to delete. Our policy WP:ATD states that "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." and so deletion is inappropriate. Cowabunga! Andrew🐢(talk) 10:54, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- First source is an unreliable review from a non-notable reviewer. Second is an announcement, third and fourth seem dubious. Even if the last two were notable, they're only announcements and not any substantial coverage (announcements do not indicate notability). Rather baffled by your comment that "The main thing we need are some good pictures", that has absolutely nothing to do with anything and doesn't explain how the article lacks any real sources.

- Nowhere did Masem say it was notable, he was merely pointing to a source that allowed it to be verified. All of these sources are unreliable or merely announcements, which do not count towards notability. Namcokid47 (Contribs) 16:42, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of games released by Data East#Pinball games where it is already included. It definitely existed and there is a logical redirect target, but the coverage in reliable sources is not even close to being able to sustain an article. This may need to be re-examined in the future if the upcoming Stern produced machine with the same name garners any notability, but as the coverage on that machine is just limited to the initial announcement right now, it is irrelevant to this current AFD.

- Delete. The claim that he won a "Governor General's Medal" in 2005 is completely unsourced, and in fact even on searches of both Google and ProQuest I can find no sources at all to independently verify it outside of his own self-published PR — the problem being that the Canadian Governor General's office gives out annual awards in literally dozens of categories in very different domains of activity, not all of which are instant notability makers (the literary and performing arts awards yes, the community voluntarism awards no, etc.), so the mere statement that he's a medalist is not an instant notability freebie in the absence of any ability to verify what category he purportedly won in. And other than that, the article cites no other sources that are bolstering the case for inclusion at all — the contextless stack of external links is not media coverage about him, but consists almost entirely of primary sources (e.g. his staff profiles on the self-published websites of his own employers) which are not support for notability. And while I did find the deadlinked Terry Glavin piece that closes out the stack in ProQuest, it also isn't about Rabkin — it literally just namechecks his existence briefly as a giver of soundbite in an article whose core subject is something other than him, so it's not a GNG-building source either. Literally nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have exponentially better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 22:05, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Procedural nom, as this was previously prodded. The subject of this article does not meet WP:NPROF, in my view. The claim in the article that she is a "university professor" is misleading. She is indeed a professor at Athens State University (see [11]), but not a university professor in the sense of a distinguished professor. Likewise, the claim that she is a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland is misleading, because you can pay to join the society as a "fellow". She is not an honorary fellow, which is the distinguished designation (see list here: [12]). Her book ([13]), coauthored with several others, was not published in a major university press. It's possibly self-published, actually, because the name of the press is the same as that of the (now indeffed) creator of this article Stmaurice1. Her publications are listed here: [14]. Most of the hits on Scholar are for a different Debra Baird, and there's nothing on JSTOR. Procedural note: I also just prodded Clan Baird Society Worldwide, the society she is apparently the head of. (Now at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clan Baird Society Worldwide following deprod.)

This is a one-sentence stub about a mayor of a small municipality in India. The sourcing is all in Marathi, and a helpful editor who speaks it confirmed that the sources do not appear to establish notability and may not even be WP:RS. I have managed to find only one English-language secondary source that mentions the subject (here), but this also does little more than simply acknowledge the election result. If someone can find sources for the subject's notability, we can expand and keep the article, but at present, I'm not sure that's possible. Armadillopteryx 02:15, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

- Weak Keep First source Lokmat is a reliable source, leading newspaper of Marathi. The person is elected a mayor for five years of city of ~600000 population. Not much information available at present, but the article may build gradually over time. GD (talk) 13:46, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Do you see anything in the sourcing that shows the subject satisfies WP:NPOL? Being an elected official at the city level is not, by itself, enough to establish notability. Armadillopteryx 23:11, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete disagree that the first source indicates notability. Although the newspaper might be a reliable (local) newspaper, the coverage is routine: any elected official would've gotten the same brief "they were elected" statement. Shivashree, the argument "the article may build gradually over time" is not a valid argument against deletion: see WP:ATA#CRYSTAL. Sam-2727 (talk) 22:55, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

And this thesis draft: http://mtiid.calarts.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/GabrielRG_Thesis_draft_forsubmission_FINALFORPRINT.pdf Also this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1202.2868.pdf And this: https://phaidra.kug.ac.at/open/o:60753 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jawvvd (talk • contribs) 21:08, 13 August 2020 (UTC) Possibly another factor that you can weigh in is that there are not many projects / actors in the music/audio visualization "market" and while (disclaimer) I am one of the developers of VSXu, I would still like to have a good listing of, and good articles about other projects that operate within this segment. If wikipedia by policy is to treat music visualization software as not notable enough, then maybe most or all individual pages for software listed on the Music_visualization page should be merged / removed instead of allowing a page for each one. Just a listing of the software and link to their home pages, or no links at all. A lot (if not all) of them have, and are going to continue to have, this same "notability issue"/"primary sources issue" simply because the market for any of these products is small and they are not mainstream - neither in the scientific community nor in the public eye. Thus it is highly unlikely that say, The New York Times, will ever write about any of these, or any articles ever being published in any source that is peer reviewed. However, while not mainstream, the documents listed above clearly show that the field (not VSXu in particular, others were used as well - as they should be) is an active topic within high schools and universities. Students use these software programs to do research. In addition, several tens of thousands of home users / professional video / audio artists / streamers / DJ's / VJ's use them to enjoy or produce entertainment. The problem (from wikipedia's perspective) is that these users (of the software projects) don't write peer reviewed papers or books published by well-established publishing houses about their experiences with said software. Considering that music visualizers is a form of casual entertainment, requiring or even suggesting this of end users is preposterous and far removed from reality. Thus, it is easy to argue that the notability requirements that wikipedia puts in place makes it close to impossible to prove notability and is therefore not a good metric when applied to music visualizers. Now, having been active in this market since 1999, it's my opinion that wikipedia has no rival when it comes to providing generic written information about these projects. Finally, it is my strong opinion that allowing for and improving articles within this area of wikipedia (rather than decimating it) is most beneficial for its readers.

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (books) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. Manuals, especially professionals, are very rarely notable. Additionally, its impact is low, citation-wise (GS suggests 3-9 total cites). So, no evidence of any serious impact or use.

The author is attempting to fabricate its notability. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:30, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- I notice the fanzine is also written by the person who runs the record label that this record was released on. So as well as not being an RS, effectively the fanzine was named after his own release. Richard3120 (talk) 18:37, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

- @Caro7200: But the article is still nothing to do with this album, it's talking about the fanzine of the same name. There's only one sentence in the whole article about the album, "The cassette itself comes wrapped in a fake soiled diaper." The article would probably be better used as evidence of notability for GPC Productions, which this editor has also created, but it's difficult to see how a cassette attached to a local fanzine with a print run of only 250 copies is widely notable.

- @Richard3120: I think Soul Crusher and myself think that the specific sentence used as a reference refers to the album...but since the zine and the album have the same name, it's hard to tell completely. I don't think there is enough to keep this, but, like I wrote above, and if the sources exist, perhaps Soul Crusher's recent articles can fall under a GPC article (it currently links back to a different album) or something related.

It's tough to tell what actually happened with the history of all the deletions and redirects, but note all the red links currently in this article. Everyone associated with the album, from the two bands to the members of those bands to the producers, have been deemed non-notable elsewhere in Wikipedia.

Alas, I don't know if a "weak keep" helps much, but the singer has received some legitimate notice. In its current state the article is preposterously ref-bombed to useless promo sites and streaming services, but there are a few legitimate sources in there, particularly a write-up by Complex and some stories from the publishing arm of the Canadian Society of Composers (SOCAN), which gave her an award.

- I still don’t know what specifically you think is unreliable. Every entry cites which episodes. What parts do you think are unverifiable?

Non-notable cartridge. Of the two sources in the article, one is to what appears to be an unreliable reloading forum/blog, and the other is to a book published by CreateSpace, which is a self-publishing company. [30] only mentions the .585 Gehringer in one sentence. This is a mirror so blatant it even keeps the ammunition stub tag with "improve Wikipedia" at the bottom. This book is based on Wikipedia content. This is an unreliable forum. Everything else I'm finding is either in web forums or in WP mirrors. Not notable, and has been tagged as such since 2014.

No sources or references of any kind have been used or cited in these articles for over 12 years, they fail to reach Wikipedia's criteria for notability, and lead to confusion due to other organisations with the same name having their own articles on Wikipedia. Seems more appropriate for these minor organisations to have a sentence or two on the pages for their respective country's socialist movements (if sources can be found for this) rather than entire articles of their own.
I am also nominating the following related pages for the reasons listed above:

- Keep - the deletion rationale contradicts itself. If article are deleted, the risk of confusion between different organizations with same/similar names increase. The Maoist movement played an important role in the 1970s counterculture youth movements, but suffers from having collapsed pre-world wide web. As per KAO(ml) is hardly impossible to source. See for example https://www.hdc.vu.nl/nl/Images/Mao_in_de_Polder_tcm215-177879.pdf , which details that KAO(ml) played a prominent role in the 1979 Rotterdam dock strike, https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/232479451.pdf outlines that the group had 50 members by 1981 (by this point the Maoist movement had declined). Notably the party was significant enough for Dutch intelligence to infiltrate... --Soman (talk) 19:54, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment in favour of deletion: Not contradictory at all - I don't see how mentioning these minor and long defunct organisations "on the pages for their respective country's socialist movements" would increase confusion? Reducing the amount of poorly written pages about small Maoist and Stalinist groups would only help reduce confusion. Since no one bothered to include any sources on these pages for a dozen years or so, it is pretty clear that these might have been written by a former member using own knowledge - which is problematic for a number of reasons in Wikipedia. The other CWO, in the UK, is at least a functioning organisation with significance as one of the few functioning left communist groups in Europe, whereby finding English-language sources about it is not as much of an issue. The same cannot be said for all these Marxist-Leninist parties and groups all around the world, which are a dime a dozen. --Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 16:13, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

- Keep - The "Kommunistische Arbeiders Organisatie" was notable enough to be mentioned in a couple of pages in a security report from "BINNENLANDSE VEILIGHEIDSDIENST" (I take this to be a department of "Internal Security" or something of that nature), and if they were seen notable enough for such a report then, they would most likely still live up to the norms for notability here on Wikipedia. Yes both this article and the Dutch article on the same matter fails to provide any sources, but a quick search on the internet seem to reveal, that the relevant sources is kept in one or more archieves in The Netherlands - though I'm not the one going to this country in the near future to have a closer look at these sources. :-) Oleryhlolsson (talk) 09:08, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - And the article about "Kommunistische Arbeidersorganisatie" (1972-1978) that was the precursor of "Kommunistische Arbeiders Organisatie" (1978-1990) delivers an important story as one of the many strange movements on the (radical) left in the political landscape of the 1970s. Oleryhlolsson (talk) 10:09, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: If someone who is impartial and fluent in Dutch could have a look at these sources to confirm whether this is in fact notable enough, then I'd agree that maybe the articles could be merged instead or something. As of right now, no convincing argument has been made as to why these completely unsourced and unprofessional articles shouldn't be converted into a section at a page like Socialism in the Netherlands. Although that article also appears completely devoid of sources, which might reveal a more worrying and larger agenda here? --Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 13:55, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Alternative to deletion: In all honesty, all three of these organisations are probably about as notable as each other, being relatively small groups that were all formed in the early to mid '70s. The only way that CWO could be seen as more notable than the Dutch groups is due to the fact that it has survived up to this day and is a part of the ICT, which according to their website seems to have sections in like 6 different countries and contacts in many others. It would be a shame to see historical information of these Dutch groups disappear from Wikipedia, that is why I am for incorporating info about them elsewhere. An alternative that both of you might agree with is merging the two articles together and having an intro section about the origins of one organisation as the other, much like the ICT section in the CWO (UK) article for example. For another instance, look at National Radical Camp - it's an article about not only a much older group than any of these, but not only one yet three different organisations with the same name and historical roots. Would it not make sense to combine Communist Workers Organisation (Marxist–Leninist) and Communist Workers Organisation (Netherlands) into one better and larger article?
- One thing is for sure, these articles cannot remain on Wikipedia in their current shape any longer. It has been 12 years. Much better quality new pages are being rejected every day for way less serious issues. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and certain standards must be met; using sources to back up statements is the absolute minimum. No one has bothered to do this for a dozen years in either of these articles. Either they are reworked with extensive citations and sources, preferably merged into one article as is the case with most other small organisations like this on Wikipedia, or they will be deleted because they fail to meet the most basic of standards for this website. --Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 14:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - I've now added literature for the article about Communist Workers Organisation (Marxist–Leninist). It was evident from "De Rode Jehova's" by Gerrit Voerman that the book Nederlands Kommunisme. Gebundelde opstellen from 1982 might be the most important book on the subject. Apart from this, we can now identify a number of sources that mentions "Kommunistische Arbeidersorganisatie". At least three reports from BVD (Binnenlandse Veiligheidsdienst (1949-2002)): BINNENLANDSE VEILIGHEIDSDIENST - PANORAMA - periode 1 oktober 1978 - 1 april 1979, KWARTAALOVERZICHT - Binnenlandse Veiligheidsdienst - Ie KWARTAAL 1979 & BINNENLANDSE VEILIGHEIDSDIENST. PANORAMA. periode 1 april - 1 oktober 1984 with the Ie KWARTAAL 1979 giving the most detailed account. Furthermore there are the Mao in de polder - Een historisch-sociologische benadering van het Nederlandse maoïsme 1964-1978, and then there are also a number of news(paper) articles about KAO. A little about the political 'climate' of these days in BN DeStem, 11-08-17 - Nico Schapendonk: "Een leven van actie, solidariteit en af en toe een confrontatie met bevoegd gezag", and further articles: Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant (PZC), 28 juli 1976: "Bezwaar tegen villa in Rotterdam" (p. 3) & Het Vrije volk, 3 december 1986: "Toch kindern van Piramide naar Blijvliet" (p. 2. In the archieves there are also material to be found.
- Archief Kommunistische Eenheidsbeweging Nederland (marxistisch-leninistisch) in Amsterdam has various material on KAO/KAO(ml):
- OVERIGE STUKKEN EN DOCUMENTATIE
- 95 Enkele pamfletten, een brochure over Oost-Timor en exemplaren van het ledenblad van de KAO (ml). 1973, 1980, z.d. 1 map
- KAOml
- 163-164 Stukken van de Kommunistiese Arbeidersorganisatie-ml afdeling Breda en de Kommunistiese Kring Breda-ml. 1973-1982. 2 mappen
- 165 Ledenbladen van de KAOml. 1973-1982. 1 pak
- Het Staatsarchief has a page with "Pamfletten wonen en kraken 1978 - 1979 - Amsterdamse pamflettenkatalogus, and somewhere in this loooong list should Kommunistische Arbeidersorganisatie also be mentioned.
- So before we do anything else, my advise would be to use the sources at hand to improve the article(s) and to add relevant source references to the text. Oleryhlolsson (talk) 22:50, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Good work, this will definitely be useful for improving this article. --Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 20:17, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - Initially I only made searches for "Kommunistische Arbeidersorganisatie" & "Kommunistische Arbeiders Organisatie" not for neither Kommunisten Kring Rijnmond nor Kommunistische Organisatie Rotterdam en Omstreken, so my search wasn't 'complete' in any sense. If you wan't to learn more about original material from these and other organisations you can go to International Institute of Social History / Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis and enter the name of the organisation you want to learn more about in their Search Field then you will end up with lists of various original material from these organisations.

This is a BLP. Most of its sources are dead links, but I used internet archive to check them - there is a press release from her employer, a short interview with no framing or analysis, (see WP:INTERVIEW), and the subject's LinkedIn profile. In the external links section is another interview published on a blog, and a 'meet the team' page of a company she founded. I have searched for better sourcing, but have drawn a blank.

This may be a BLP. Most of the content is referenced to FBI investigative reports of the J. Edgar Hoover era, which I do not consider reliable nor of use for establishing the notability of a person. My search for coverage in reliable sources shows that she was a member of SDS and the Weatherman, but those were passing mentions and I could not find any significant coverage of her as a person. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:19, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I’m seeing a great number of hits in Google books but they’re almost all snippet views so it’s hard to know what depth they offer. Coverage is certainly extensive however. Mccapra (talk) 11:35, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - Agree with Mccapra, certainly more results than Ashley, who, as Cullen328 mentioned in that AfD, mostly appears in lists of names. I read Days of Rage years ago--she shows up there; a lot of coverage is going to be tied to late '60s/'70s newspaper and magazine stories. Caro7200 (talk) 12:57, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment For what it's worth, I pulled out my ancient copy of "SDS", by Kirkpatrick Sale, a 752 page book about the organization. Phoebe Hirsch is mentioned just twice, both in footnotes. One footnote is a long list of SDS members involved in early planning for the Venceremos Brigade, and the second footnote is a list of 1969 NIC candidates. Hirsch was elected as an alternate, and later joined the NIC when someone else resigned. So, she is not discussed in the body of this book, just mentioned fleetingly in the footnotes. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:52, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I just did an online search of "Outlaws of America: The Weather Underground and the Politics of Solidarity", a book by Dan Berger. As far as I can see, Hirsch is not mentioned at all in that book. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:09, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- I say this respectfully, as you've helped me out at the Teahouse (which I appreciated) and, from looking at your userpage, you know a lot about this period of history: She clearly wasn't among the most "important" SDS or Weatherman members. She is covered in many sources, although a majority may be small mentions. I could find even more than what is available through Google at the academic library where I work, if I wanted to expend the effort of going through databases and microfilm--which I don't. I think the frustrating thing with AfDs is that, depending on the AfD, they swing wildly from "X is covered in enough RS!" to more nuanced debates, or ruminations on editors' personal notability standards and Wiki-philosophies...see the Ella German and Alyssa Carson ones as well...

Found as part of CAT:NN cleanup, where much help is needed. Currently, this article is sourced to Discogs, which is user generated; a literal Google search; an unreliable cd sales site; a band booking site that is listed in the external links as the bands official site; an article in Exclaim that is about the death of a band member and only contains four sentences of coverage about this band; and a dead link. The AllMusic page contains only a partial discography, and no band biography. This is a brief statement that a band member is part of a stage production, it contains only about half a sentence of content about the band. This is an interview, which does not contribute to notability. I'm not finding anything else that even approximates substantial coverage in independent reliable sources.

- Delete - The band name was familiar, I am certain I have heard of them before and I have noticed they have a cult following - but not in reliable media. The sources presented does not establish any notability (seriously, a CD sales page, and the general results of a Google search?!) If notable sites like PunkNews or Canadian Beats wrote about them, they just wrote about one of the members' death (PN) and the other (CB) did an interview with the band which does not contribute to notability either and they did not cover the band in-depth. But anyways, I looked them up and couldn't find anything else besides the usual junk sites and the ones already presented here. So, in conclusion, they have been active for a long time but it seems no reliable media have taken the time to actually write about them (which is not an interview or brief news about the death of a member) so they are not notable for WP inclusion. They released several albums on notable labels, so I find it strange that I haven't found a single reliable source. Also, the article was created by a single-purpose account whose sole Wikipedia activity this was. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 15:51, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

- Comment. The change from TREB to TRREB does indeed cause some difficulty in finding articles. With that said, I'd recommend considering them one and the same (it's just a name change). In terms of recent articles referencing the new name, regional and national newspapers are regularly releasing monthly trend reports, for example: [1] references TRREB in the opening article. In terms of articles critical of TRREB, there's this one from a few days ago:[2]

- A lot of the coverage of this org is routine, it's true—especially given how breathless TO real estate coverage can be—but I have trouble seeing how the sources in the two {{reflist-talk}} templates above are routine. I count three decent-size articles in CBC News, Canada's national broadcaster, that feature the org in the headline. Here's another: [39]. IMV, "routine" in this context means something like "associated with regular, generic events" such as quarterly housing data reports. While some of these articles reference those reports, they don't seem like generic coverage that WP:ROUTINE is intended to weed out. It's an arguable point, though.

- Respectfully, I find that an implausible merge target. This is a trade association unaffiliated with the city government. An organization's being located in a city is not grounds to merge it to the article on the city. If we had something like Housing in Toronto or Real estate in Toronto (articles I have considered creating on more than one occasion, btw; this AfD might persuade me to take the plunge …) those would be appropriate merge targets. But Toronto itself seems like a real reach. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 03:17, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

- As far as I know the fact that an author of a book does not have an article on Wikipedia does not make them non notable just that no one has created an article about them yet or even that books have to be written by notable authors to be considered a reliable source so long as they are not self published as per WP:RSSELF. Dynamique Mag is most definitely not a blog. The PRNewswire article shows that the term is in use and there are even awards for this kind of person. BTW PR Newswire is not a PR company but a very old company that distributes press releases. Why do use the term blogger for the person who wrote the article in Startupmindset as it clearly says she is a staff writer here and why do you call it unreliable? I agree the article needs improving and to cite more sources to show it is a commonly used term and what they say about the term but this is not a reason for deletion but a reason for improvement. --Dom from Paris (talk) 09:31, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Absolutely right, that a book/author doesn't need to have an article on en.wiki to be considered notable. But let's understand what we are talking here. We are talking about an encyclopedia entry for a word. To coin a new word, it is implied that it has to be used by multiple mainstream reliable popular media and also have legitimacy given to it by lexicographers. To give weight to my argument, also consider, we don't have standalone articles about words like Retweet or words like Stan (Stan was added to Oxford English dictionary btw). If we have a standalone article, it will likely always be a stub, or it will become a cesspool of original research, like what the websites you listed have done. Last thing, your argument that the word has been used since the 90's lends weight to my argument actually. If the word was used so long ago, why aren't we seeing, even slight usage now, in mainstream media? I am arguing so hard because we can't allow wiki to become a vehicle for inventing and legitimising neologism. This isn't Urban Dictionary. - hako9 (talk) 20:22, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- I actually totally agree with you about wikipedia not being an urban dictionary or just a dictionary. Retweet is maybe not the best parallel because it means nothing more than to...retweet. There is no concept behind it, it is a simple action. There seems to be sufficient evidence that Extrapreneur is a genuine concept with people writing articles and chapters in books about it. Anyway I think there are enough sources out there to show ot is a notable concept and enough to make an useful article. I think we'll just have to agree to disagree and see how this pans out.

- Comment: The news citations are all routine news coverage that any mall would receive; it does not demonstrate notability. WP:NBUILD says that ""Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments, may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." Nothing above touches on historic, social, or architectural importance (and significant coverage means addressing the subject directly and in depth). Which sources show historic, social, economic, or architectural notability. // Timothy :: talk 03:54, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- So by your standards, articles like Swifton Center, Colonial Plaza, Castleton Square, Great Lakes Crossing Outlets, Rolling Acres Mall, Tri-County Mall, Forest Fair Village, Meridian Mall, Lansing Mall, etc. is just "routine coverage" too, huh? By your standards, every single one of those articles that I just named -- all of which, by the way, are Good Articles -- should be deleted because they have "no historic, social, economic, or architectural notability" and are just "routine coverage". Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:02, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- If we have the newspapers—as we do in this case—regional centers of this kind tend to draw entire articles about them. Between what TenPoundHammer and I have added to this article, there are quite a few articles specifically talking about Tri-City, Tri-City's relevance in the Valley retail landscape, and so on. And that is something I have found with other centers. Raymie (t • c) 04:12, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reply: WP:ENCYCLOPEDIC CONTENT, WP:INDISCRIMINATE: "As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia."
- Guidelines are not just random arbitrary statements, there is a purpose to them. I see this as wheat and chaff. If we have 2000 articles for American malls (don't know the actual number), but only 200 are genuinely noteworthy, the 200 (10%) will be obscured by the other 1800 (90%). Removing non-notable malls, helps the visibility of notable ones. If all readers see when they look at malls, is open, renovate, close, boring routine items, they will miss the truly interesting and noteworthy malls. I believe this is what WP:NBUILD is going for when it says "may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance".
- Is there some historical importance, such as the malls that were the first of their kind? I'm thinking here of the same way department stores are viewed, every department store is not notable, but the first department stores were pioneers, those have a history that is interesting and notable.
- Social, a small/average mall in an urban area not socially notable, it's just one among a vast array of social environments. But a mall in a small town may be the center of the community and a significant part of the social fabric, not duplicated in other places.
- Architectural speaks for itself, there are lots of architectural journals and magazines and if they cover a mall because of its design, then I see that as an indication something about the mall is notable and this can be in the article.
- Economic, I'd go to the social reason above. A mall in a large urban area is going to make a negligible impact on the economy, even if it makes good money. But a mall in a small town may be a significant part of the local economy, even if it makes a fraction of the money the mall in an urban area does. In the same way as a factory in a city with a huge manufacturing base like Los Angeles or New York wouldn't be notable, but if you move that same factory to a small town, it could be the lifeblood of the economy, if it closed the town would (and sadly have) dry up.
- // Timothy :: talk 04:41, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Considering that not one, but two retail chains chose this exact mall to open their first locations in the entire state, there's clearly at least some degree of economic weight in play here. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 05:21, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep for the reasons that TenPoundHammer and Raymie mentioned above, and as per both of their improvements. I disagree with the nominator that "If all readers see when they look at malls, is open, renovate, close, boring routine items, they will miss the truly interesting and noteworthy malls." Notability is not assessed in relation to other subjects, and openings, renovations, and closures are not necessarily "routine". Furthermore, the references in this page are definitely not mere directory listings or routine coverage. It may have seemed that way prior to the recent edits, but not in the current condition of the article. epicgenius (talk) 18:32, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

- Comment Being the first outlet mall in a state is not notable. WP:NBUILD says that ""Buildings, including private residences and commercial developments, may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." Routine coverage that any mall would receive is does not establish notability. // Timothy :: talk 03:50, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Being the first anything is very much a valid assertation of notability. I guess Colonial Plaza, the first mall in Orlando, is suddenly "not notable" and that every single citation in the article is "routine coverage" by your byzantine and contradictory standards. By the way, Colonial Plaza is a Good Article, but I guess in your eyes it's not worth a damn thing and should be deleted too, huh? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:56, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reply: "Being the first anything is very much a valid assertation of notability." It depends on the category. Being one of the first department stores in the United States is notable, being one of the first department stores in Orlando is not. They might be notable for other reasons however and if you provide sources showing how they meet WP:NBUILD by their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, then you have an valid argument. But all your doing is saying WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, using hyperbole, and hurling personal insults. // Timothy :: talk 05:24, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

- Where the hell did you get Arizona from? Also, how is "first" not a claim to notability? It's not like it was the first mall in Wyoming, which only has three malls to begin with, or first in the Yukon Territory which currently has none. Literally dozens of mall AFDs prior to this one have shown a consensus that this is exactly the kind of coverage sufficient to keep a mall article. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 05:33, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reply: You believe it being the first outlet mall in Wisconsin is notable based on personal opinion. I disagree based on WP:NBUILD. If the closer finds being the first outlet mall in Wisconsin is notable and it has encyclopedic value, then it will be kept. FYI, the civil way to write, "Where the hell did you get Arizona from?", is actually, "I think you mistakenly typed Arizona for some reason, the mall is in Wisconsin". // Timothy :: talk 06:09, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

- Comment The sources above and in the article are all routine run of the mill coverage and announcements. They do not establish notability. Every mall will have lots of routine coverage because they seek it out as advertising. If this type of coverage makes a mall notable, then every mall will be notable. // Timothy :: talk 02:28, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment for closer: since there is an RfC currently under discussion at AfD about what is considered proper sourcing for determining mall notabiity, it may be worth holding these open until that is finished. If a close is made, it would be very helpful for the RfC if you could explain how you evaluated the sources in terms of notability, routine, run of the mill coverage, and how you feel voting and !voting influenced this AfD.

- Keep, easily found tons of sourcing in the Boston Globe. Notability is not temporary, and many of the sources discuss such factors as the shift in shopping patterns once a competitor opened, and the reuse of the property by later venues. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:44, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reply and Question @TenPoundHammer:, can you post the sources you found for WP:V. Coverage such as "factors as the shift in shopping patterns once a competitor opened, and the reuse of the property by later venues." that simply mention the mall closing do not show notability. There needs to be coverage that shows the mall has historic, social, economic, or architectural importance per WP:NBUILD or meets WP:GNG. Here is the run down on the current sources:
Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
"General FAQ | This is the best one of all. The mall is in Methuen, Massachusetts. This is a Frequently Asked Questions - General page from New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration. It says nothing about the mall. | ✘ No | ||
Methuen Mall loses last anchor store". The Boston Globe. | Brief routine coverage any dying mall would receive. Provides no evidence of mall meeting WP:NBUILD | ✘ No | ||
Davis Bushnell (March 17, 1996). "Valley Expo Center is new hope for Methuen Mall". The Boston Globe | Brief routine coverage any dying mall would receive. Provides no evidence of mall meeting WP:NBUILD | ✘ No | ||
Boston Globe 5/23/2004 | Name is mentioned on pp.94 about it being a failed mall. Nothing else about the mall. Provides no evidence of mall meeting WP:NBUILD | ✘ No | ||
http://www.brickstoneco.com/properties/loop-methuen-ma | ? | ? | Dead link to something called "brickstoneco" No indication it was about the mall. | ✘ No |
https://www.eagletribune.com/news/stop-shop-to-close-in-methuen/article_82a15ea4-f5ca-11e9-a0d1-8fda0eda2f3d.html | Says nothing about the mall. it says Stop & Shop to close. I believe this was built on the location of the dead mall, but it is not about the mall. Its entirely about Stop N Shop closing. | ✘ No | ||

Nothing here shows the mall has historic, social, economic, or architectural importance per WP:NBUILD or meets WP:GNG. // Timothy :: talk 12:48, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Large malls are notable. Here is one article from 1991 [44]. It's likely easy to find more. MB 23:47, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I'm sure you can find lots of routine run of the mill coverage and announcements. These do not establish notability. // Timothy :: talk 02:17, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. It's not clear to me why every mall that ever existed should have a Wiki article, which is what would happen if standard local coverage of new/closing stores or existence in a town's business directory was sufficient for notability. JoelleJay (talk) 17:38, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Expanded article clearly shows notability and quality Pokemonprime (talk) 11:27, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I've added some additional coverage from the Boston Globe and other papers. Again, I recommend that TimothyBlue use ProQuest as part of his WP:BEFORE check and source tables. There is plenty of coverage in reliable sources (e.g. multiple ~1000-word articles in the Boston Globe). FYI, TenPoundHammer did contact me on my talk page about this one. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:34, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- I'll also note that some of the coverage I identified were lead articles for various sections of the Boston Globe. E.g. this story (only about mall), lead in real estate; this story (in which mall features prominently), lead in business; this story (only about mall), lead in real estate; etc. There may be others; this is only ones I happened to notice while trawling for online versions of certain news articles. Anyways, this clearly was an important place in the region. Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:49, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment for closer: since there is an RfC currently under discussion at AfD about what is considered proper sourcing for determining mall notabiity, it may be worth holding these open until that is finished. If a close is made, it would be very helpful for the RfC if you could explain how you evaluated the sources in terms of notability, routine, run of the mill coverage, and how you feel voting and !voting influenced this AfD. Thank you, // Timothy :: talk 09:14, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- You've already been told that's not a valid reason to keep the AFD open. Let this one run its course. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:26, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- That was the opinion of a single individual, not a consensus. At ANI it was stated, "You and others suggested, reasonably, that some the guidelines for malls should be developed and clarified, and in fact constructive discussion about a potential WP:SNG is ongoing at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion#RfC on shopping malls and notability guidelines.". Let the closer have all of the information and they can decide. There is no hurry to close these only to have them reopened at DR as a result of the RfC. // Timothy :: talk 20:50, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- Considering that the consensus is extremely obvious by now to keep this article (especially since the article was vastly expanded during the AFD), there'd be no gain in keeping the discussion open longer. The RFC discussion should be contained within that thread alone, so as not to distract and unnecessarily bog down other processes. The relist happened a week ago, so with the consensus now clear, this should be closed right about now anyway. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:30, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep, existing sources are sufficient for establishing notability. Nominator seems to have a preconception that "defunct" automatically means "non-notable", when oftentimes the reuse of a property into something other than its intended purpose is what makes the entity noteworthy. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:46, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reply and Question @TenPoundHammer:: Which of the sources show notability? I'm seeing a bunch of dead links, two almost identical stories that mention the mall in one sentence about being a filming location, and an article about Sears. Let me know which one you think establishes notability and I will look again.

None of the above sources establish notability.
re: "that "defunct" automatically means "non-notable", when oftentimes the reuse of a property into something other than its intended purpose is what makes the entity noteworthy" What are you referring to here? // Timothy :: talk 12:20, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep based on the contents of the article and the sources in it. Contrary to the nominators opinion, Dead Links to not fail verifiability. A DL means the url has changed or the article is no longer available online. It doesn't mean the source must be discounted - sources do not have to be online in the first place. It may take a trip to the library or some other archive to find it. MB 23:39, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Dead links cannot be used to establish notability. The sources added to the article are all routine run of the mill coverage and announcements. They do not establish notability. Every mall will have lots of routine coverage because they seek it out as advertising. If this type of coverage makes a mall notable, then every mall will be notable. // Timothy :: talk 02:23, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm here from the noticeboard thread, so if it's inappropriate for me to !vote the closer can disregard this. Most of the given sources look like the standard, unexceptional local coverage one would expect for any business, and the articles on the TV movie only briefly mention it. I can't find any guidelines indicating a building's use as a filming site automatically confers notability. JoelleJay (talk) 17:28, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. Whilst there are reasonable points made by the nominator in favour of deletion and these have not been explicitly refuted, with no other support for deletion I cannot find that there is a consensus to delete.

The billboard claim is false as far as I can tell - searching their records gives nothing for Laine Hitz or Hitz, nor for Fuego Bxnds or Nurudin Adow and they don't appear to be included in the actual discography information for any of these.

The article's scope is also misleading since it refers to one single debate in the 2011 election despite there having been more than one. Plus, the article itself is an orphan and has seemingly been one since at least 2014, and despite it having been created in 2011 it's just a two-line stub with a small table. Any information on that specific debate can be easily accommodated within the main article, so the need for a separate one is null. Impru20talk 09:50, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. The general consensus is that a series article is premature, but a redirect is suitable and it can be revisited in the future. Eddie891 Talk Work 11:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Premature creation. There are currently only three video games in this series, and while reliable sources are available, they largely cover the individual games and not the series as a whole. Glades12 (talk) 09:39, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Although individual games are notable, a series article is premature, and not yet supported by RSs as a series. Worth revisiting when/if Bloodstained 2 happens.--AlexandraIDV 11:17, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- FTR my previous post had nothing to do with the amount of games and only about the existence of sourcing - the last sentence was only meant to say that I can see the situation change in the future, and was not an argument in itself.--AlexandraIDV 12:58, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Per WP:IGNORINGATD. Whether it should be redirected can be discussed elsewhere, but no argument has been advanced why it should be totally deleted, nor why a redirect until there are enough entries to justify a series article in your eyes would be harmful.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:17, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Prepare for a wall of text.) I don't think a redirect would be harmful per se, but I don't think there's a good target for one. The only content the article on Ritual of the Night contains about a prospective franchise is "Igarashi had stated that given the amount of time he has spent in developing the Bloodstained intellectual property, he sees the game as 'a starting ground' for future Bloodstained games." It does contain about half a paragraph on Curse of the Moon and a short sentence on Curse of the Moon 2, but that's it. CotM 1 and 2 are essentially spinoffs, so they would be even worse redirect targets than RotN. Finally, this independent article is not sustainable either due to the lack of truly relevant, independent sourcing. These issues all create a situation where deletion is the only option as far as I can see. Glades12 (talk) 13:19, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- You say there is no series, but with 3 games there is already a series. Kid Icarus (series) has been there since 2006 and only has 3 games. While "it's harmless" is usually a bad argument to make, I legitimately can't see the reason to delete this and make navigation of the series harder for people, especially when it's fairly likely to expand in the future. It seems like needless bureaucracy to me, in the letter but not the spirit of the rules.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:37, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to Bloodstained RotN per Alexandra. The two smaller games are minor offshoots and thus only gives us three games in a series. Until Bloodstained 2 is actually confirmed and we can write more than a stub about it, it is better to talk about the "franchise/series" as a section of the main game's article. A series or franchise article just doesn't make sense at this time. --Masem (t) 15:55, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

- Keep there are enough sources that mention this is a series, and that make comments comparing the gameplay and themes throughout the series. You could argue that those mentions are trivial and would involve a lot of cherry-picking, but this is where WP:NLIST should apply. It's clearly a discriminate list of games and there is enough to write about them together, as a related concept. Archrogue (talk) 19:11, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Let's get this out there first: it is a horse with no speaking role. Sigh. Anyway. The usual: the coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. PROD removed by a WP:SPA using edit summary "Laughable! This is an important article!" who is clearly not here to WP:BTE (90% of edits of this account are limited to PRO template removals). Anyway, as I said above, the sources are very poor, plot summaries in niche listings of characters, etc. And yes, the current article cites an encyclopedia: [47], but as you can see following the link to Amazon preview (which may require signing in, but it is free, I mean, who doesn't have an Amazon account...), that character (animal...) doesn't have a dedicared entry, it just merits a passing plot summary mention (no analysis) in the entry for She-Ra. I can't think of anything better to do here than to redirect this to List of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe characters. It was a cute entry while it lasted here, I guess?

- Merge & Redirect to List of She-Ra: Princess of Power and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power characters#Swift_Wind - The She-Ra series actually have their own, distinct character list, and Swift Wind is already covered there, so that would be the place for a redirect and any potential merging, not the Masters of the Universe list. Aside from that correction, though, I agree with most of the above. There are plenty of mentions of the character in sources about She-Ra, but very little of that coverage is on the horse himself. The character list already covers him pretty sufficiently, but as that entry is currently unsourced, some of the brief sources included in this current article should be moved over.

- Redirect to List of She-Ra: Princess of Power and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power characters#Modulok, where he is already covered. When you take out the large, mostly unsourced plot summaries, all that's left are a few brief entries in a some "Top Ten" lists, which really isn't enough to support an independent article. Note that even the character list just lists him as an "Other" villain rather than one of the major ones, which kind of shows his lack of importance, even within the franchise itself.

- Comment - Is there a better way to handle all of these comics/toys/gaming/fiction/etc. articles? I couldn't care less about this stuff, but this article, at least, appears to include references from independent, reliable sources. I was also alarmed, earlier in the summer, that so many nomination arguments--not by Piotrus, I don't think--were misrepresenting reliable sources by asserting that "Official" in the title of a reference meant that the book was a primary source; it wasn't, and "Official" meant only that the images, etc., had been licensed. The book was, in fact, published by a large publishing house with long-established editorial policies. All of these types of articles inspire a great deal of passion on both "sides," so perhaps a larger discussion in an appropriate venue is in order. I say this respectfully, but if there are responses to this comment, please respond with something beyond pasting in policy shortcuts, or please suggest a different place to discuss what is becoming a problem. (I'm mostly referring to articles where some sources do exist.) Thanks. Caro7200 (talk) 13:34, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect or delete per TTN - GizzyCatBella🍁 09:33, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: There are sources currently used in the article. How He-Man Mastered the Universe: Toy to Television to the Big Screen (McFarland, 2017) discusses Grizzlor's portrayal in the mini-comics. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: A Character Guide and World Compendium (Dark Horse, 2017) has more than a page on how the portrayal of Grizzlor has changed over the years, from the mini-comics to the toy line, cartoon, and recent revival. There's a full-length review of a recent Grizzlor figure from MTV News (2010). I believe that this demonstrates notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 18:59, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- This sounds much better when you reword it - but in the end, as your own edit clearly demonstrates, this is a pure plot summary.

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. PROD removed by a WP:SPA using edit summary "Laughable! This is an important article!" who is clearly not here to WP:BTE (90% of edits of this account are limited to PRO template removals). Anyway, I can't think of anything better to do here than to redirect this to Masters of the Universe, but maybe someone can find something out there that's better than the current blog / plot summaries / toy listings. I couldn't :( Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:07, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. This is Castle Grayskull! The central location of Masters of the Universe, of course it is notable. Many shows, many toys produced, many discussions on its importance. The nominator just copy-pasted his same nomination everywhere, without any real analysis of the significance of the monumental importance of this article to the Masters of the Universe.IQNQ (talk) 14:00, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep If one actually checks the Google scholar link above, one soon finds sources such as this which explains that Castle Grayskull is " one of the most famous playsets of all time". So, it's not just notable, it's famous. Andrew🐉(talk) 19:46, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for linking this. However, the sentence you quote is the complete extent of this source - it is effectively half-a-sentence mention, so WP:TRIVIAL. Now, the claim itself is interesting and the source is reliable, but all that means is that this claim can be mentioned in the Masters of the Universe article, which should have a section about toys, which in turn can have a note that there were CoG playsets which were "very famous" or such. There is no need for us to have an article which will be 99.9% plot summary with such a note. And if this is the best source you've found, well... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:58, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- WP:TRIVIAL is an argument to avoid and so worthless. If a scholarly source says that something is famous then obviously we should not be deleting it. There is no arbitrary word-count requirement for our sourcing. What matters is their significance and being famous is quite significant because it demonstrates that the topic has been noticed and that people want to read about it. This page gets about 200 readers every day and that's quite good. We have huge numbers of articles about Polish villages such as Radomno and they are lucky to get one reader per day. Per WP:BURO, WP:NOTLAW and WP:IAR, we're not here to engage in pettifogging censorship. We're here to provide information to our readership. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:24, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- About this source, "BUILDING CITIES, BUILDING WORLDS: CITIES IN PLAY": It seems Piotrus neglected to read on, because after the quoted "effectively half-a-sentence mention", the whole next paragraph discusses the Castle, and evaluates its significance and symbolism, which can hardly be called trivial.

- KEEP The toy and location got reviewed. https://www.cbr.com/best-he-man-toys/ says "Castle Grayskull is one of the most memorable locations in cartoon history" and gave it coverage at https://www.cbr.com/most-expensive-he-man-toys/ as well. Got a toy review at https://bleedingcool.com/collectibles/motu-castle-grayskull-mega-contrux/ Google news search shows a lot of reviews for the new toy all over the place. Toy reviews back in the 80's surely covered it. Dream Focus 12:51, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Adding to Andrew's links I found https://archive.org/details/kidsstufftoyscha00cros/page/205/mode/2up which says Castle Grayskull was a "major feature of Matell's line" (relevant due to its influence). There are 100s of more sources at Internet Archive, it will require manual work to filter through these. The are 10s of millions of sources at Internet Archive, unavailable anywhere else in the world (online). -- GreenC 13:31, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Neither link represents significant coverage on the actual topic. It's a minor footnote on the toy line rather than the actual toy or the fictional setting. You're extrapolating the statement that it's notable to fit into the definition of meeting WP:GNG. TTN (talk) 13:55, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- "Significant" doesn't mean lots of text, it means the significance of what is being said. If it said "Grayskull is the top selling toy of all time" that is significant coverage even though it's only a few words. It says "major feature of Matell's line" is significant IMO showing how the fictional setting influenced culture. -- GreenC 15:12, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Without any actual discussion on it, the relevant context is about the toy line. It’s not high selling because the set itself is special. It’s high selling because He-Man is special and the set itself was a cornerstone of it. It literally just needs a one sentence line in the main article based on these two sources. There is no content that supports the creation of an article. The need for significant coverage is definitely more about coverage relative to the size of the piece. TTN (talk) 16:16, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- You are simply incorrect that "significance" in GNG is about the size or count of words. It's intentionally vague, it can mean book length treatment, or single sentence, in the later case depending on the significance of what is being said. If a reliable source is directly asserting notability, as in this case, we don't ignore it, it's one way to determine notability. GreenC 17:00, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- If the only measure is a subjective interpretation of “significant” (as in how one personally interprets the weight of the statement) we’d never get anywhere. These sources give absolutely nothing from which to build an article on the topic in question. They do not provide anything separating the topic from the parent topic. It’s not a top selling toy because of any special characteristic possessed by the toy. It’s a top selling toy because of the franchise. If there are more sources talking about it on its own merit in detail, that would be your significant coverage. In a world of literal millions of toys, being one of many identified in such a way is not actually significant whatsoever. TTN (talk) 18:04, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- This is not a matter of debate. A statement can carry significance of meaning ie. "The person is the most important in history of mankind" is significant coverage even though it is not significant length. Per GNG we also include the measure of multiple reliable secondary sources, independent of the topic. My source is published by Harvard University Press. This is AfD and we are establishing if the topic is notable. As for length of wp article, some stubs can be a few sentences long, though the available sources here allow for longer length - we are not limited to only the GNG sources when writing the article, for example. You keep attacking my !vote as if Harvard University Press is the only source in the article which is strangely myopic. -- GreenC 22:12, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Considering the only other source that actually dedicates more than a single word to the topic is the modern day CBR, a listicle factory that pumps out a mind boggling 30-50 lists every single day with little sign of true editorial oversight (compared to known unreliable source WatchMojo that puts out a comparative piddling five videos per day), Bainbridge and Cross are the only sources worth discussing. If a singular person is in fact the most notable in the world, you'd expect the sources discussing said person be above a single descriptor ("major feature", Cross) or a minor paragraph that is ultimately more relevant to the development of the franchise than this singular item (Bainbridge). Neither is a very strong defense of this article's claim to notability. Eternal stubs belong to notable stand-alone topics that are brief in scope, not fictional topics that have suitable parent articles. The entire context of this article is already very well covered in Masters of the Universe at the moment, and you could add both sources without any issue. Even if I cave and say the paragraph in Bainbridge's piece actually constitutes something major on the fictional topic itself, that's the only presented source worth anything in the article or presented in this AfD.

- Keep if the measure of WP:N is found in non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable sources: we have that. The castle is so widely known that I am not even a follower of the series, and yet I knew exactly that this involved Skeletor and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Quite a few books discuss the castle as well. Lightburst (talk) 18:22, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: In addition to the sources added by GreenC, I added information to the article from How He-Man Mastered the Universe: Toy to Television to the Big Screen (McFarland, 2017), Mastering the Universe: He-Man and the Rise and Fall of a Billion-Dollar Idea (Clerisy Press, 2005) and The Art of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (Dark Horse Books, 2015). — Toughpigs (talk) 18:42, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- I am sorry but I don't see how your expansion here helps establish the notability. This is just a description of how a toy works and/or plot elements: "Together, the combined sword was used as a key to open the jawbridge to the Castle Grayskull playset" or business-as-usual information about the sales volume "The toy set was the centerpiece of the toy line, and sold more than 3.5 million units". Nothing here seems to warrant the Castle getting its own article, all of this can be mentioned in the article about the Masters of the Universe, which can certainly discuss the popularity of related toys in a paragraph or two. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:40, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Certainly not business as usual; that was a best-selling toy, and the number of units it sold is relevant, real-world information. In the nomination, you asked someone to find sources that were better than blogs, plot summaries and toy listings. I found several books. — Toughpigs (talk) 05:48, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- You forgot the part about the sources having non-WP:TRIVIAL coverage. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:16, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- WP:TRIVIAL is a MOS guideline and probably not what you intended, the article has no trivia sub-section. You probably mean "significant coverage" of the GNG guideline, where the word trivia does not appear. Trivia is a pejorative term and not terribly useful -- which is why we have the WP:TRIVIAL MOS guideline in the first place, to recommend people from using it. -- GreenC 22:26, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep As per wiki WP:CRIN he has appeared as a player or umpire in at least one cricket match that is judged by a substantial secondary source to have been played at the highest international or domestic level.

- As always, WP:CRIN only establishes a presumption of notability. However, I only see references to indiscriminate stats websites.

The result was delete.

- Comment. Many discussions, including recently at WT:CRIC#WP:CRIN and WT:NSPORTS#Recent English FC cricketers fail WP:GNG / WP:BIO, plus a 2017 RfC demonstrate a consistent clear consensus that cricket notability guidelines are overly inclusive, so arguments at AfD based solely on those criteria should hold little water. Where are the sources to meet the requirements of WP:BLP/GNG/WP:BIO?

- I keep seeing assertions of non-English language sources (in various discussions) but not a single such source has been uncovered for any of these obscure cricketers. As such, we must assume that the assertion that such sources exist is demonstrably false. Yes, we should be encouraging improved coverage, but that should be through better quality articles and creating lists for these players, not endless crappy perma-stubs that say nothing more than "X existed and played a couple of matches for Y cricket team (the standard of which is/was highly questionable)" and are sourced exclusively from (largely indiscriminate) statistical databases. wjematherplease leave a message... 09:03, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- You say the standard of these matches "is/was highly questionable". I don't know how you reckon to know that, but their status is not questionable: they are acknowledged first-class or List A matches as agreed under international cricket definitions. You state that the statistical databases are "largely indiscriminate": this is not true, and both Cricketarchive.com and espncricinfo.com are high-quality comprehensive compilations used and relied upon by cricket historians and writers. You are, I assume, fluent in the many languages of Pakistan and therefore able to "assume that the assertion that such [local language] sources exist is demonstrably false", and moreover to claim that your assumption overrides the presumption of notability for high-level sports performers that WP:NSPORTS confers. You are entitled to a viewpoint, and I think we know what it is; but I do not know what credibility we should ascribe to it. Johnlp (talk) 19:07, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- Status does not equate to standard, e.g. we know very well that MCC FC matches are very much lower standard than the County Championship – we do not know the standard of the matches played here (we have no details – no match reports, etc. – although we do know that Pakistan FCC was a bit of a mess at this time), therefore it is clearly questionable. "Comprehensive" = indiscriminate; these websites record everything they can, and absolutely cannot be used to establish notability. When someone is able to provide a non-English source for any of these players, I'll reconsider my viewpoint of such claims – until then, such claims are meaningless. Certain aspects of NSPORTS do not enjoy community consensus – NCRIC is very much one of them, as evidenced by many current, recent and earlier discussions. Ultimately, without any real (rather than postulated) sources that offer substantial coverage of the subject, this fails GNG, SPORTBASIC and NBIO by a wide margin. wjematherplease leave a message... 19:33, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Wow, 3.3 rating on BGG? I haven't seen such a low rating in a long time. Anyway, thank you Timothy for finding some sources. My problem with [53] is that it summarized the topic and makes some comments about non-game related politics, but does not tell us anything about the game - it is not a review, nor does it discuss who made it or why. It is very short and I'd argue WP:TRIVIA-level coverage. [54] is clearly the product blurb/description, possibly provided by the producer, and the website is a store. This is not a review and it is likely not reliable or not independent. [55] is just like [1], it does not provide any information about the game itself, the article is really not about the game but about its creator not being allowed to advertise it(?) in the EU official building. It is also very short.

Hard delete makes sense as the topics aren't sufficiently related, but I'd thought soft delete works just as fine in case someone wants to create an article like European Union in popular culture, this game could be mentioned in such an article and useful information of the game can be extracted from the redirect's history. But I leave it for others to decide. --Dps04 (talk) 16:54, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

GiantSnowman 14:28, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: He is an India international so there is probably enough sources to keep. I can definitely say he is notable but I also need to see if Parwinder is his real name. Sources can also have his name as Parminder or Parvinder. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 19:12, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Subbing Parminder and Parvinder in the search string above returns absolutely nothing responsive, at least in an English Google search. If there are any sources they'd be in one of the Subcontinental languages. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Hasteur Hasteur Ha-- oh.... 19:30, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Nah, disagree. If you type in Parvinder Singh or Parminder Singh in google WITH ONGC or I-League next to it you get sources. Unfortunately for a player over 30 in India you will need to sort of piece together their career. He is an international though so there should be a website somewhere that has that. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 16:34, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

I searched without success in Marathi, though perhaps Hindi or Punjabi would be more fruitful. Nfitz (talk) 22:49, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: There is also sources that state he was with Tata Football Academy as well before Sporting Clube de Goa plus his name appears a lot for transfer pages [56]. Also, looks like he won't have a national-football-teams page because India sent a u20 team to the 2006 AFC Challenge Cup. So, chalk that up as a mistake from soccerway but can be I guess "oversourced" (not sure what the proper term is here). Either way, he is 100% Keep, just needs a revamp. I'll get to it in a bit. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 06:26, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- I couldn't determine absolutely, but at least one of his 2000s Goan appearances seemed to be in a state league. Given how short the seasons are, I don't know if this was some kind of second team, or an off-season thing ... or what. Either way, it doesn't negate his later I-league appearances. Nfitz (talk) 16:37, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Article about footballer who played a few matches in the fully-pro I-League a few years ago. Although NFOOTBALL provides a presumption of notability in such cases, there is nothing indicating the GNG can be met, so the presumption is not valid. All of the online English-language coverage is routine (brief mentions in match reports, transfer announcements and the like). Jogurney (talk) 01:34, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment for deciding admin: I have revised the article completely, adding in additional sources and information than what was originally there when this article was nominated for deletion. I believe there is enough to suffice for WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 07:16, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

- One of the two (minimum requirement to fulfill WP:NBOOK) independent sources is quoted, the other one gives a paragraph worth of info about the book and its content, so they cannot be mere "listings".

- A paragraph in a niche book which doesn't, itself, meet WP:NBOOK is trivial coverage.

- I don't think that a source meets WP:NBOOK is a requirement (otherwise many academic publications would be excluded no matter their reliability). I think if it's trivial or not is based on the content. What I see in the article is not trivial. Or, to place the general question: There's a lot of information beyond plot summary in the article which is interesting to some users of Wikipedia. What would be the benefit of deletion that would be bigger than loosing that content? Daranios (talk) 20:15, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

The article cites one source (so not a few), and it is a book (not a "fan source").

- Delete what needs to improve is the use of discernment in creating articles. Not every published guide book related to D&D is notable, and the sourcing here is clearly below notability.

- Keep based on the sources User:Pburka found which need to be added to the article. Additionally, the article does not go into heavy game mechanic details (so it's not a WP:GAMEGUIDE situation).

- P.S. Given the experience in other AfDs, I would like to emphasize that Women in American Cartography: An Invisible Social History does not only mention the Atlas on p. 48, but then, continuing into the next page, gives more details about the author's maps which applies to The Forgotten Realms Atlas. Give the discussion about Gender bias on Wikipedia we should have very good reasons before deleting an article which has a, how ever minor, relation to women's social history. Daranios (talk) 10:43, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: I think that Heroic Worlds: A History and Guide to Role-Playing Games and Women in American Cartography: An Invisible Social History are good sources that demonstrate notability. The Cartography book only talks about Fonstad for three paragraphs, and it's about the atlases as a whole as opposed to specifically about the Forgotten Realms version, but there's material there that could be used to expand the article. — Toughpigs (talk) 16:34, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

- Comment. Please improve your copy-paste nomination (if this is done, ping me and I'll reconsider my vote). "No meaning" is not a valid deletion rationale. The article has a reception section which cites three sources and the nominator should explain why they are "fan sources" and why they are bad. Frankly, this article may fail GNG but the current rationale is just so bad the nominator needs a friendly warning to learn how to submit AfD articles and how to write proper rationales. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:48, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete the sourcing is not enough to justify keeping the article and a search found no other sources likely to add to notability. Wikipedia for too long has allowed unregulated article creation for us to be in any position to assume that the existence of an article in any way suggests the subject might be notable. We need to end all proceduralism that ends up presegving sub-standard articles for non-content reasons.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:40, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per below comments, or failing that merge to List of Forgotten Realms modules and sourcebooks#Sourcebooks since there are WP:RS to retain, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ (talk) 12:49, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- KEEP Reliable sources review it, so it passes the general notability guidelines. Copy and pasting a meaninglessly invalid reason in so many AFDs you started at once is ridiculous. I think you just went through proding dozens of articles without actually looking at them, then those that were deprodded you sent to AFD right away with the same bad deletion rational. Dream Focus 16:47, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Procedural Keep - This article was kept in an AFD less than a year ago, and the nomination has zero rationale or policy based argument as to why that result should be overturned or re-examined. The citing of WP:GAMEGUIDE makes no sense in this case, as the article is on a real-world product, not on how to play the game itself. Claiming the article has "no meaning" is rather nonsensical. Rorshacma (talk) 00:06, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Contemporary sources reviewed the book & the article does not go into heavy game mechanic details (so it's not a WP:GAMEGUIDE situation). I want to second Dream Focus's comment above that you used the same copy-paste rationale on dozens of PROD nominations before using it in AfD nominations. In the future, please take the time to review an article's sources & then (if you think it has failed notability, etc) customize your PROD/AfD nomination for the article at hand. Sariel Xilo (talk) 18:38, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I don't see how any of the points of WP:GAMEGUIDE applies here. And in what definition does this article have "no meaning"? There are two secondary sources, that's the minimum requirement to fulfill WP:NBOOK, right? Daranios (talk) 20:43, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Weak delete - I am skeptical that Fictional Reality is a reliable source. Sources do not have to be online, but they still have to be WP:V, and this one has apparently been offline for at least a decade, meaning it was offline when it was added as a reference. The WotC source is not independent. That leaves a single source, which isn't enough to meet notability guidelines. Grayfell (talk) 20:39, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hopefully I can add something here besides disagreeing: Thankfully Fictional Reality was archived, even though it is somewhat hard to find. Issue 09 can be looked at and veryfied by anyone here as a pdf. Daranios (talk) 10:14, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, that really helps. While this is an improvement, after looking at the review and the issue, I think this is a very flimsy source. This magazine was clearly a passion project for those involved, but the flip-side of this is that parts of it are very amateurish. Some of the reviews have named authors, but most don't, including the review of this book. Lacking information on this magazine's reputation, editorial policy, etc., I don't think this source is sufficient to establish notability. Grayfell (talk) 20:04, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Weak deleteAbstain. Problematic nomination aside ("no meaning"?) the article has only one reliable reference (the Pyramid review; it doesn't matter if something is a "fan source", whatever this term may mean). The other linked source, however, [57], seems like the products official description, not a review, and as such, this seems to fail GNG/NBOOK. Do ping me if more sources are found. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:52, 28 August 2020 (UTC)- Thank you for the pings. Since a plausible second review was found, I am now abstaining (since nobody can verify the second review is in-depth). Do ping me again if we can confirm that the second review is non-trivial (i.e. more than a paragraph long). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:04, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

- MERGE The creator of the article thinks that's best, then so be it. And honestly now, an editor who has only been around for a few months copying and pasting delete prod tags on dozens of articles one after the other, then when any are rejected instantly sending them to the AFD with the same copy and paste rational, is rather ridiculous. Perhaps we could discuss these things together as a group somewhere instead of having to go through dozens of different discussions about them. Dream Focus 15:17, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

- Merge unless sources can be tracked down. Per RPGGeek, there are two reviews in German. One I think is independent ("Das Unterreich" in Envoyer (Issue 47 - Sep 2000)) and one I think depends on how editors view the German edition of Dragon ("Rollenspiele" in Dragon (German Issue 10 - Sep/Oct 2000)). I'm pinging User:Piotrus & User talk:BOZ in case they know any editors who speak German & can track these reviews down. Sariel Xilo (talk) 17:52, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Sariel Xilo, I would say Daranios may be the native German speaker you need. :) BOZ (talk) 20:40, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't see how any of the points of WP:GAMEGUIDE applies here. And in what definition does this article have "no meaning"? The German rpg index supports rpggeek that Envoyer #47 has a review of the German version. So there seem to be two reviews, which would be the minimum requirement to fulfill WP:NBOOK, right? I don't have access to that issue of the magazine myself, so a merge and redirect would also be fine for me until someone can add more. Daranios (talk) 20:21, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Merge or Delete. Find better sources. Dragon is not presumed to be independent, regardless of language. The obscurity of these sources suggest that they do not meet WP:RS for notability. Grayfell (talk) 03:05, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- The book is treated in at least two independent sources, Pyramid and Envoyer. Granted, they are not the New York Times, but according to WP:GNG, "Sources do not have to be available online or written in English". So are there any well-founded suspicions why either should not be reliable? Otherwise I think they should count. The only problem I see is that so far noone here could ascertain the quantity of the Envoyer article. Daranios (talk) 10:33, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- It is not merely the quantity of the source that matters. Since all sources are judged in context, we cannot assume these sources are appropriate, reliable, or even usable. Even if this book was mentioned in the NYT, we would still need to evaluate that coverage accordingly. Avoid WP:CITEBOMBing. If this work is noteworthy, there will be some indication why it is noteworthy beyond its mere existence. Grayfell (talk) 19:31, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- As we were just discussing if there are enough sources, WP:CITEBOMBing hardly seems the problem here. I also see none of the four examples in WP:CITEBOMB apply. Do you? As for context, having magazines about role-playing games judge an rpg supplement seems appropriate to me. The article does already have a significant reception section which tells you why anyone should be interested in this supplement, without even taking into account the Envoyer. So the common complaint of being mostly plot-summary does not apply, and it seems these source are indeed useable. And I can tell you, the Envoyer was a solid if small rpg magazine. Pyramid was an award-winning one. So I ask you again, if you know of any facts that should let us doubt their reliability. Otherwise I stand with my keep opinion. Daranios (talk) 19:56, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- You should probably hold-off on responding to every comment in an AFD you disagree with. You've already made your position clear, and the purpose of these discussions is to invite outside perspectives.
- Since we have not actually evaluated the Envoyer source, we cannot know if it's usable. Until it has been properly evaluated, it's functionally useless for Wikipedia. Adding it to the article would be adding a citation, not a source. Adding a citation to preserve an article is cite-bombing in the general sense.
- The "Reception" section is based on the Pyramid source which is over-used in the article already, and a product listing written by Appelcline on a site which doesn't appear to meet basic WP:RS. While Appelcline may be a topic expert (or might not be) this is not a valid source for notability. Grayfell (talk) 20:24, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

- Comment The English original version of Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark has been reviewed in issue #39 of the German rpg magazine Envoyer (while, as has already been said, the German translation is reviewed in #47 of the same magazine). This adds no new source for the sake of notability, but should allay fears that too little is said to count! Daranios (talk) 11:00, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. A game review would be a valid source, but there is no indication the linked review reviews this particular book and not the bigger system. It is also not linked. Unless better sources are found, well, it falls GNG. PS. I found the text of the review mentioned here: [58]. It is three paragraphs, but I am not seeing why that source would be reliable.

Comment Well, it states that he did chart as part of a colaboration on Billboard R&B charts, and that normally is a qualifier. But a search on their site shows nothing for him under his current or former name, but then again Billboard's search engine has been spotty in the past. The references are rather press-releasish, so I don't think any of them add up to much. But maybe there is something here if someone deems its worthwhile to do the leg work to save it. As of now it looks to be delete based on what's provided. BTW, the impressive claim here that he was "signed by Epic Records" is contradicted by his own press release which cites the small Zone 4 label, which is a subsidiary imprint under Epic, but it's not the same as being an Epic Recording artist. ShelbyMarion (talk) 14:49, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Lots of hits in reliable news sources like Vibe, XXL, Complex and TIME. His song "Sex You" was featured in Magic Mike and spent 15 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.[61] pburka (talk) 20:12, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as passes criteria 2 of WP:NMUSIC (only one criteria needed) as shown in the Billboard reference linked to in the preceding comment and also mentioned here. Also he has coverage in reliable sources such as Complex, XXL and Time so also passes WP:GNG in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:12, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - After participating in a number of similar AFDs, I'm leaning more towards delete now.

- Delete as all signs point to this being a hoax article. Check out the article as first created; it suggests as much. Nothing on the creators or the title on GoodReads or on WorldCat. The creator's other articles should be investigated for more hoaxing. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 02:15, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
- I'm going to delete this as a hoax. Looking at the original version of the article, the creator wrote
- Teddy Dressing has mysteriously disappeared from shelves across the globe. The record has been wiped clean. This remains a mystery to many parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and children. All wonder if the book was merely a figment of their imaginations, if the book could possibly have a different title.
- This means that this was either a hoax or the title was completely wrong. However there's more proof to show that it's a hoax. They came back later and changed the writing to this:
- Teddy Dressing has mysteriously disappeared from shelves across the globe. The record has been wiped clean, save for a few copies in remote libraries. This remains a mystery to many parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and children. All wonder if the book was merely a figment of their imaginations since many do not know it still exists, or if the book could possibly have had a different title.
- They also added an image, File:Teddydressing.jpg. It was deleted due to licensing issues, but thanks to having my admin voodoo I was able to examine the image... which showed that the "proof" of existence was just a printed piece of paper taped to another book. You can even see the paper corner where they tried to hide that it was fake by folding it under the book spine, but failed to notice that you could still tell that it was a single piece of paper. The same goes for the other side of the paper. It also has that obvious look of an image printed off a home printer.
- So essentially, it's fake. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 03:16, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
