Minor league footballer with an almost entirely amateur career, who fails WP:GNG due to lack of WP:SIGCOV - all I could find is merely passing mentions, transfer reports, non-independent and non-secondary sources. [1] Angelo (talk) 23:37, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus‎. I'm seeing arguments to Delete all, Redirect/Merge all and some opposing this entire bundled nomination. In this case, I don't think relisting will bring with it an actual consensus but just more opinions on all sides of this discussion. So, I'm closing this discussion and recommend either nominating this articles individually or at least in smaller bunches. With nominations this large, even the most diligent AFD participant can't track down additional sources for over 25 articles over a week and it's unreasonable to expect anyone to do this. So, instead, we often get opinions to "Keep/Delete/Redirect all" where few or none of the articles are carefully analyzed which is not how AFD is intended to work. Liz ^{Read!

Embassy of the United States, Malabo

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This should be deleted per consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Embassy of the United States, Vientiane, and because none of these articles tells us anything about the purported topic, namely the embassy building of the United States in various foreign capitals. Instead, they deal with bilateral relations, and articles covering that phenomenon already exist. Biruitorul ^Talk 23:34, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages:

Oppose as listed As these articles are not identical content/products with slightly different titles, hoaxes, or promotional spam, each page should be nominated separately per WP:MULTIAFD – Kjerish (talk) 23:53, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I’m sure that would be a very productive use of everyone’s time: forcing editors to vote separately on an endless, identical series of articles, ostensibly about some run-of-the mill buildings from the past few decades, in fact saying nothing about them. Procedure is important, but let’s not abuse others’ time. (At any rate, there is no procedural violation: WP:MULTIAFD addresses “related articles”, and the example does not limit the scope of the guideline.) — Biruitorul ^Talk 00:18, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as listed - Agree with Kjerish that each embassy needs to be a separate deletion nomination. Don't attempt a blanket of all the embassies. Each one is different, each has a different history. If you want all those deleted, then nominate them correctly. — Maile (talk) 01:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How does the history of Embassy of the United States, Banjul differ from that of Embassy of the United States, Yaoundé? (Not that we’d know from the articles, but you did make the claim.) — Biruitorul ^Talk 06:08, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all These embassy articles were created in a spree by 1 editor and padded with mainly information about bilateral relations and not about the embassy itself (or minor details like its address and when it opened). The article creator has also opposed redirect to the relevant bilateral relations so we are here. They all fail GNG. LibStar (talk) 01:56, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect all to respective United States–X relations articles. Very little of these is actually about the embassies themselves, most content is about the diplomatic relations. Reywas92^Talk 03:29, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all the articles should be about the embassies themselves, but they focus on foreign relations. The buildings are not notable. DirtyHarry991 (talk) 03:50, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as listed - 28 articles are too many articles for one AfD if they're to be merged and redirected as I believe they should be.
- Comment: these are nicely done small articles, even if they're redundant to the corresponding bilateral relations articles. The author did a nice job.
- Unfortunately, as noted by Biruitorul, these articles are not really about the embassies but mostly about the bilateral relations. Any embassy-specific material can be added as a sentence or two to the bilateral relations article.
  - Delete all. It's not just "unfortunate", it's an excellent reason why these articles should not exist. Athel cb (talk) 11:11, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The "consensus" at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Embassy of the United States, Vientiane was a consensus of just 2 editors: Biruitorul, the nominator, and LibStar. The AfD was closed as a soft deletion due to minimal participation. So I don't see that AfD as a useful precedent.
- Some embassy articles contain useful bilateral relations material not found in the existing bilateral relations articles. "Merge/redirect" makes sense. It will take considerable effort to merge this stuff into the 28 bilateral relations articles. Who's going to do this work? The closing administrator? That's too much to ask.

This big AfD needs to be broken into smaller, more manageable chunks. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 04:21, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Regarding your first point, while writing “nice” articles is certainly to be commended, that aspect must come after WP:GNG is satisfied: “a topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject”. Given that the articles don’t even pretend to do that, we should delete or redirect without much further discussion or agonizing about the size of the nomination. — Biruitorul ^Talk 06:31, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  I agree that "The author did a nice job" is irrelevant to notability. LibStar (talk) 06:33, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  I did not say that nice articles establish notability -- I merely complemented the author.
  
  "Nice" or not, there remains useful content about bilateral relations that should be merged to existing bilateral relations articles rather than trashed. See Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. @Biruitorul, if you're personally committed to doing all the follow-up work of merging, redirecting and template repair for 28 articles, I'm open to supporting this big AfD. Otherwise, let's do this one smaller chunk at a time. There's no rush.--A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 06:52, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - - In fairness, I did redirect each one, but the article creator me. If the consensus is to redirect, I pledge to perform that task. — Biruitorul ^Talk 07:04, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose there are dozens and dozens of articles about the New Zealand one in local press. https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/8371842/60m-to-blast-proof-US-embassy-complex https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/92338186/online-bomb-threats-prompted-us-embassy-evacuation-during-fbi-directors-visit https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/10735122/US-embassy-alert-over-suspicious-package https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/66771529/shoe-boxes-spark-bomb-scare-at-us-embassy https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/local-papers/kapi-mana-news/8779653/Chauffeur-tells-nuclear-story etc, etc, etc. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:14, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The fact that there have been a couple of bomb scares and that it’s had its security enhanced does not actually make a building notable; that’s entirely trivial coverage. Still, what about the other 27 or so articles I’ve nominated? You haven’t addressed those. Were I to strike the Wellington embassy and nominate it separately, would your position here change? — Biruitorul ^Talk 21:49, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  If the US Embassy in New Zealand is notable, that illustrates a problem I've seen really big multi-AfDs - how do you handle individual exceptions to deletions? Is there some established way of doing that? --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 22:07, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Embassy of the United States, Wellington is where that particular discussion has been moved. — Biruitorul ^Talk 22:31, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per above, very flawed nom, spot check indicates at least some of these meet GNG. // Timothy :: talk 02:05, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually no, nominating for deletion a series of articles that a) have nothing to do with the alleged subject and b) duplicate content found elsewhere, is not at all flawed. Can you cite an example of one that meets GNG? — Biruitorul ^Talk 07:57, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I confess to having edited this article 14 years ago when I felt that every article belonged on Wikipedia. The subject is a low level member of a crime family whose article is essentially about his murder. There are no claims of notability (or notoriety), no mentions in the New York City newspapers or other sources.

In Murder Machine, there are numerous mentions of Grillo, but nothing to indicate that he was really important in the crime family or an important figure to law enforcement. I searched Mob Star: The Story of John Gotti on Google Books and found no mention of Grillo. Rogermx (talk) 03:34, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Michelle Zacarias

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not notable enough to the point where the page is a stub that previously looked like a subject-generated resume. She was a guest opinion piece writer on some of the sources listed, but the ones she actually works for don't have Wikipedia pages. It's also missing significant biographical information.

I'm not sure how to correctly nominate a page for deletion this way, as the rules prevent me from doing it the usual way given how this is an appeal of a nomination removal with which I disagree. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brobbz (talk • contribs)

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Journalism, and Women. XOR'easter (talk) 22:11, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Currently looking like a résumé isn't a reason for deletion, as long as sources exist that could allow it to be rewritten more encyclopedically; that's a matter for editing, not deletion. People's World, where Zacarias was a staff writer from 2015 through 2019, has an article here. (As do Teen Vogue and Latina [4], as well as The Indypendent — not mentioned in the article, but Zacarias has written there [5]. Ditto the Chicago Reader [6].) So, the claim in the nomination appears erroneous. That said, right or wrong, it's not relevant. Whether an author's primary affiliation has an article or not doesn't have an implication one way or the other about whether that author is, individually, notable. On the face of it, "missing significant biographical information" would be grounds to keep the article, i.e., it's saying that there's more to say. However, looking at the page history, the "biographical information" to which the nominator refers appears to be a BLP violation, so that doesn't really factor in either way. I'm tempted to suggest that WP:CSK#3 applies. XOR'easter (talk) 22:26, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep - I agree with the above. The sources demonstrate notability. The page can be improved DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 23:38, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I think the subject is notable enough to keep the article and improve it. I tried to add sources and expand the article, sorry if it sounded too much like a resume but I'm sort of new and I tried my best. I welcome good-faith edits to improve the article to make it more encyclopedic. I think that the subject was nominated to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame makes her notable. I contributed to this article because I believe in decreasing the gender gap on Wikipedia (like the Women in Red WikiProject) and coverage on subjects that identify as LGBT, disabled, or other identities that are often overlooked. NatFee (talk) 02:48, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- She won the Saul Miller Excellence in Journalism Award, given by AFL-CIO for excellent coverage of union issues. This along with the arguments made by my colleagues above seems to me to be sufficient to meet the GNG. Central and Adams (talk) 15:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Seems to meet notability even if the article needs to be improved. Also, she has received a major award and other significant recognition. Rublamb (talk) 20:02, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per all forementioned reasons above. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 12:16, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher Erskin

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a film and music video director, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for filmmakers. As always, filmmakers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their work exists, and have to show evidence of passing one or more criteria for notability -- significant awards, evidence of third-party reliable source coverage and analysis about them and their work in media and/or books, etc. -- but this literally just says he exists, lists a bunch of jobs he did, and sources all of it exclusively to directory entries (IMDb) and other primary sources (Vevo) that aren't support for notability at all, which is not enough.
He needs either a significant volume of WP:GNG-worthy coverage, or a stronger notability claim than just his work's existence. Bearcat (talk) 15:54, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1. "I Wish (R. Kelly song)" [12]
2. T-Boz's "My Getaway" [13]
3. Uncle Sam's "I Don't Ever Want to See You Again", with Boyz II Men [14]
4. Rome (R&B singer)'s I Belong to You (Every Time I See Your Face) [15]
5. Allure (group)'s version of "All Cried Out (Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam song)" [16]

Al Yalayis

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Created by a now-blocked sock, one of a number of entirely misleading geographical articles about Dubai sourced by the author from a statistical database and then dressed up to look like 'places', this article was submitted to AfC by a sock of the blocked user and then accepted in AGF. However, Al Yalayis is a mostly uninhabited area of mostly desert at the edge of which we find a couple of newer housing developments not named Al Yalayis. Not notable per WP:GNG, no RS on offer and a fail of WP:GEO as a community or place - quite rightly tagged as OR and needing citations, it's really not going to get 'em because is not actually a place at all... Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:38, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Geography and United Arab Emirates. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:38, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As I mentioned earlier, the article does not inherit bad faith from the sock. More importantly, Al Yalayis is populated and recognized legally (apparently) as a community. It could be very tiny with 35 people like Al Kifaf, and it would meet WP:GEOLAND. The housing development Mira definitely does not meet WP:GNG, but as long as Al Yalayis is a legally recognized place, we keep this article. I would delete if either of the two are shown:

1) Al Yalayis is a statistical area not a community as the DSC government source indicates; edit and fix List of communities in Dubai

2) Dubai does not have actually have any legal subdivisions beyond municipality-level; move to Al Qudra, remove all the non-GNG communities in List of communities in Dubai

2) There is no such legal subdivision called Al Yalayis; there is only Al Yalayis 1, Al Yalayis 2 ... Al Yalayis 5; this article must be split into 5 articles. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 11:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They.are.empty.desert! All bar Yalayis 1/2 which straddle the Mira housing development and so are only mainly empty desert. There is no COMMUNITY called Yalayis. Many of the non-GNG communities in that list were put there by the author. There is no township/village/inhabited place called Yalayis that defines any legal settlement. That is my entire point - it's essentially fallacious. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:58, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On the contrary, from what it looks like the UAE is divided into Emirates which is then divided into municipalities which is then subdivided into communities; of which Al Yalayis 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 are. I'm referring more to the DSC source and the DE external link. While citypopulation doesn't demonstrate WP:GEOLAND, it verifies my theory that communities are the 3rd order administrative division and presume GNG via GEOLAND. And obviously, they are populated and not an empty desert, even Al Yalayis 3 is populated. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 13:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But they're really not. They're desert areas - you won't be able to go to a bank in Yalayis 3, let alone a post office or shop. It's in the desert. Dunes. Camels. Maybe the odd camel camp or outlying villa or 2. There are no neighbourhoods, no services, no 'communities' and certainly no notability. The article relates to a geographic database entry that has no bearing on the reality - there is no 'place' in Dubai called Yalayis. You'll never go to meet Bob in Yalayis, pop around to see Mary who comes from Yalayis or find it mentioned in any history of Dubai, any list of places where notable people come from or in fact any book about Dubai. Because it's desert. ONE day, you'll find a to-be-developed neighbourhood of low cost houses for UAE Nationals in Al Yalayis 5, but it's not been built - or even started yet. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 15:03, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Still missing my point on it meeting WP:GEOLAND, none of these are reasons to delete. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 17:20, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion: There is coverage in multiple independent reliable sources and I suspect that notability could be proven if someone developed and referenced the article. However, nobody has been interested enough to develop it much. There is not even an article for its successor project, the Hawaiki Cable, which is much more notable as it is an operational cable, and there is arguably demand for an article. I suggest we rename this "Hawaiki Cable", do basic reformatting, keeping the info about the SPIN predecessor, then wait and see whether anyone develops it. An article on an operational cable is much more likely to attract editor attention than a defunct cable proposal from the 2000s. Nurg (talk) 01:09, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the "Pulses per quarter note" article in Wikipedia needs to be expanded a little bit, in my opinion this page should not be deleted as it tells information about time division in midi files. 192.68.163.180 (talk) 17:45, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
1. Müller, Meinard (2007-09-09). Information Retrieval for Music and Motion. Springer Science & Business Media. ISBN 978-3-540-74048-3.
  The article notes: "The number of pulses per quarter note (PPQN) is to be specified at the beginning in the so-called header of a MIDI file and refers to all subsequent MIDI messages."
2. Sweetwater (1997-12-09). "PPQN (Pulses Per Quarter Note, sometimes Parts Per Quarter Note)". Retrieved 2023-11-28.
  The article notes: "The timing resolution of a MIDI sequencer. PPQN indicates the number of divisions a quarter note has been split into, and directly relates to the ability of the sequencer to accurately represent fine rhythmic variations in a performance, or to recreate the “feel” of a performance. Older sequencers were capable of 96 PPQN (sometimes even less), which often resulted in a stiff “quantized” feel to the music (even if it hadn’t actually been quantized). Current versions can reach 768 PPQN or even higher resolutions, which is more than adequate for most musical applications. Note that the resolution of the sequencer is especially important at slower tempos. If your sequencer is limited to a lower resolution, one trick is the double the tempo of the song, then perform the parts in half time. This effectively results in a doubling of resolution."
3. Loops and Grooves: The Musician's Guide to Groove Machines and Loop Sequencers. Hal Leonard Corporation. 2003. ISBN 978-0-634-04813-5.
  The article notes: "If a sequencer has a limited number of steps, which was always the case with analog and digital hardware sequencers, the concept of resolution becomes an important factor. In this context, resolution means the number of steps used to represent a note or measure. Resolution is a numerical value expressed as pulses per quarter note or ppqn."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Pulses per quarter note to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Carsick Hall

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This building doesn't appear to meet WP:N. There is the possibility of merge/redirect to Ranmoor, but I think that would give it overdue prominence in an article I'm not sure it even needs a mention in. Boleyn (talk) 21:06, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Does not look notable - There is no listed building designation for it and although it is just within the Ranmoor Conservation Area there is nothing about it in the statement of special interest. EdwardUK (talk) 22:22, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- DELETE - Agreed. Its sourcing is also odd, it appears to be the original creation of an SPA, and it contains some dubious statements. To suggest that Sheffield has few old buildings because of the Blitz is nonsense - it has many, including many far more notable than this, e.g. Sheffield Town Hall.

Comment. Doesn't appear to be listed. Some of the article checks out. (William Creswick at that address in 1843. Sales description in 1879 Sheffield and Rotherham Independent as well as notice of sale to Mr. James Ward for £370. Mentions in The Times and The Telegraph as home of Francis Balfour in the 1950s. Telegraph gives Eric Robinson as owner in 1980.) I think there is also evidence that it might be among the oldest local buildings ([21] states most of buildings of interest date from 1860–1914). Also brief mention in The Making of Sheffield, 1865-1914 p 194 ("...Carsick Hall, a small double-fronted house unworthy of its name but very old and very old-fashioned."). In the lack of any detailed coverage of the house, leaning slim merge to Ranmoor, where it might merit a mention. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:54, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Two major problems with this:
- https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/441346-carsick-hall-help/?do=findComment&comment=7893247 is quite clearly how the original single-purpose editor got xyr information. It's a fortnight before the article was created by ChaosAlien (talk · contribs). I don't have any access to whatever "Find My Past" is, and the original single-purpose editor provided zero citations of whatever bunch of old newspapers have been stitched together to make this. Espresso Addict hasn't provided enough above, either, alas.
- The ~~good-faith~~ citations added later by someone else are impossible to check. Having laboriously found what each one is and digging it up to cite it properly, I've had to add {{pageneeded}} on every single one it turns out. One of them is an edited collection book and the citation didn't even say which article in the book by which author is being cited. Needless to say, not a single one of those sources is accessible to me.
Verification is simply impossible here. I've tried. This is unverifiable by any reader, or anyone at all who didn't write the article. Uncle G (talk) 20:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- That's simply not true. I verified much of it, just typing "Carsick Hall" into one of the WL newspaper searches. I don't always provide citations when I do this kind of search because typing and especially cut & paste hurts my injured hand, but the search is trivial for anyone with library access. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:14, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm afraid that it is true. "Mentions in The Times and The Telegraph in the 1950s" doesn't cut it. As I said, I've looked for sources, and tried to look into the sources already cited. A vague handwave in the direction of an entire decade of two newspapers points to nothing. It's as vague as the handwave to a 264-page book (which Google Books reports no instances of "Carsick" at all inside) from 1948 is. If you cannot point to things that I or other people can check, then verifiability is simply not there. Amazingly, all of the people with the claimed actual access to these old newspapers, from the person on the WWW forum through the article creator to you, have not cited one single specific newspaper article for the rest of us, let alone the clearly multiple ones used in the WWW discussion forum. Uncle G (talk) 22:48, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - In attempting to check the sources and found copies of some on archive.org (Reeder, Walton and Tiratsoo), and White Rose eTheses Online (Donnelly). But searches within these indicate that none mention Carsick Hall, Walton has only a brief section on Ranmoor (p.225) and there were no search results for Sheffield in Tiratsoo. Cannadine and Hebblethwaite require journal access but the statements they are there to support do not suggest notability. I do not have full access to the British Newspaper Archive, but a search for Carsick Hall shows some results that could verify the residents and history section (Sheffield Independent 10 May 1879 p.11, and 7 March 1938 p.2, and Yorkshire Evening Post 11 June 1940 p.5) but these also do little to indicate notability. Delete seems a reasonable option because if all the unsourced and trivial content was removed there would be little left to merge. EdwardUK (talk) 09:30, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      - That's names and dates at least, more than anyone else has given. I didn't think to look for an in-copyright 1997 book in the Internet Archive, and thank you for the pointer to the thesis, too. It's very disappointing to discover, especially after all of that effort hunting down the proper citations, that all of the additions by GavinMansfield (talk · contribs) were false sourcing. Having seen now how irrelevant they were to this subject, especially the thesis, I have changed my mind about these being good-faith edits. Uncle G (talk) 13:07, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. Coverage seems to demonstrate a kind of notability. Note about the Times of India: Sources noticeboard says not to use it for political subject matters for example, which the Indian task force clarifies: "Uncontroversial content such as film reviews are usable".

The result was delete‎. Obviously the discussion about what happened on German Wikipedia is totally irrelevant, and is ignored. There are other irrelevant comments too, such as the very strange comments about whether someone did something "on purpose" or not. Ignoring all that, and looking at the reasons given for keeping, we see a lot of stuff unrelated to Wikipedia's policies, such as that Sven Odia is "most influential", that he "has played a key role", that an editorcpredicts that he "will always be in the news". There may be a case for changing Wikipedia's notability guidelines to include factors such as those, but at present they don't, so those considerations too are irrelevant. I'm afraid that "he does not have abundant secondary sources but this should not stop his page being retained" is not just not a reason for keeping, it is as clear a reason for deleting as could be possible, because a substantial amount of coverage in secondary sources is precisely the main requirement of Wikipedia's notability standards. The conclusion is that scarcely any argument compliant with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines has been advanced for keeping the article, whereas reasons for given for deletion do conform to policies and guidelines.

Comment I think we can discuss the notability instead of basing it on the deletion on DE wiki. Also, the DE wiki page was requested under speedy deletion by a non registered user having no other edits on DE wiki. When I translated the page it was check by 2 editors who were ok with the content. All sources that I used contains info about him and are reliable that's why I thought it may be a good inclusion from my side and I kept in my not to use any single word that is promotional in nature but I will leave it to the community obviously. Thanks NatalieTT (talk) 11:38, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The speedy delete from DE wiki was by a non-registered user and therefore should be ignored. The Engel & Völkers article is substantial and mentions Sven Odia in only one sentence. It states facts about the company in a non-promotional manner. It is not 'largely promotional' - WP:NOTPROMO.Didgeridoo2022 (talk) 02:20, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Sven Odia is most influential in German real estate. He has played a key role in the international expansion of Engel & Volkers.

What do you mean "someone did that on purpose"? Of course someone did that on purpose. Nobody files a speedy delete by accident.

Please stop focussing on the person who filed the speedy delete and start focussing on how Mr Odia meets notability.

Hence proved, with this comment you second that my concerns are genuine. Admins should check the relevance between this IP and the person who initiated the AFD and start an SPI. This IP is personally involved and watching everything. I don't know Odia but I will now try to reach out to him if possible and ask if he had any encounter with anyone on Wikipedia DE or EN.

Not notable enough to the point where the page is a stub that previously looked like a subject-generated resume. She was a guest opinion piece writer on some of the sources listed, but the ones she actually works for don't have Wikipedia pages. It's also missing significant biographical information.

I'm not sure how to correctly nominate a page for deletion this way, as the rules prevent me from doing it the usual way given how this is an appeal of a nomination removal with which I disagree. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brobbz (talk • contribs)

Comment Currently looking like a résumé isn't a reason for deletion, as long as sources exist that could allow it to be rewritten more encyclopedically; that's a matter for editing, not deletion. People's World, where Zacarias was a staff writer from 2015 through 2019, has an article here. (As do Teen Vogue and Latina [23], as well as The Indypendent — not mentioned in the article, but Zacarias has written there [24]. Ditto the Chicago Reader [25].) So, the claim in the nomination appears erroneous. That said, right or wrong, it's not relevant. Whether an author's primary affiliation has an article or not doesn't have an implication one way or the other about whether that author is, individually, notable. On the face of it, "missing significant biographical information" would be grounds to keep the article, i.e., it's saying that there's more to say. However, looking at the page history, the "biographical information" to which the nominator refers appears to be a BLP violation, so that doesn't really factor in either way. I'm tempted to suggest that WP:CSK#3 applies. XOR'easter (talk) 22:26, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep - I agree with the above. The sources demonstrate notability. The page can be improved DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 23:38, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I think the subject is notable enough to keep the article and improve it. I tried to add sources and expand the article, sorry if it sounded too much like a resume but I'm sort of new and I tried my best. I welcome good-faith edits to improve the article to make it more encyclopedic. I think that the subject was nominated to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame makes her notable. I contributed to this article because I believe in decreasing the gender gap on Wikipedia (like the Women in Red WikiProject) and coverage on subjects that identify as LGBT, disabled, or other identities that are often overlooked.

My English-, French- and Thai-language searches yielded nearly no coverage of this player.

Comment The first few paragraphs discuss that she shared a stage with notable jazz artists and that's fine. But also that she was voted the best jazz vocalist, "she was awarded a government medal" and it's all supported by this source: [26]. But I don't see any of this there. What goverment medal subject has recevied? Maybe any of those: Orders,_decorations,_and_medals_of_Belgium? Need to find out. Due to the fact that jazz art is not intended for a wide audience and therefore cannot, with rare exceptions, pass criteria #2, #3, we should entirely rely on expert reviews, if there was any. It could be criteria #10 or #12 here, because of "In November 2015, she sang a gala concert for National Serbian TV in Novi Sad with the Aleksandar Dujin Orkestra."

Mongol invasion of Central Asia

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The existence of this article is essentially WP:SYNTH - it summarizes the events of two individually notable campaigns, but is not in itself notable, and it is not discussed as such in WP:RS. All the information in the article is summarized in either Mongol conquest of the Qara Khitai or Mongol conquest of the Khwarazmian Empire; this should probably either be deleted or redirected to Mongol invasions and conquests. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:55, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or ~~userfy~~ Disambiguate as there is more to Mongol campaigns in Central Asia than just the summaries of these two campaigns, although they were the largest. The invasion of Cumania, for example. I'm actually in the process of creating some of that content. There is a need for an overarching treatment of how the specific campaigns all relate to each other. More directly to the issue, though, is that a quick search of "Mongol invasion of Central Asia" brings up multiple sources about the topic, not all of them about only the invasion of Khwarezmia. There's even at least two with that exact title. Here's some of the results: [27], [28], [29], [30], [31].--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 00:06, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've greatly expanded the content to include other operations and campaigns in Central Asia. Should address the SYNTH issues.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:43, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Your expansions to the article and comments above indicate that you believe a substantial portion of the "invasion of Central Asia" began before the commencement Mongol invasion of Khwarazmia in 1218—this is not supported by any of the sources you have provided:

Islam 2016 states "a punitive action against the Kara-Khitai was the prelude to the all-out Mongol invasion of Central Asia in 1218–1219". The campaigns such as the invasion of Cumania are not mentioned in the article entitled "The Mongol Invasion of Central Asia", which is completely devoted to the invasion of Khwarazmia. It is clear that Islam's conception of the "Invasion of Central Asia" is just our article Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire under a different name, and completely unrelated to your conception of there being "more to Mongol campaigns in Central Asia than just the summaries of these two campaigns".
Abasov 2008 is an entry from an encylopedia entitled "Historical Atlas Of Central Asia"—as such, many entries include the words "Central Asia" in their titles, but are described on WP under different names. See for instance the entry "The Arab Conquest of Central Asia" (on WP Muslim conquest of Transoxiana) or "Timur and the Timurid Empire in Central Asia (on WP Timur & Timurid Empire). Aside from that, it must be noted that Abasov, like Islam, states outright "In 1219, Genghis Khan invaded Central Asia"—again, he does not mention Cumania, or any other campaigns, clearly showing that he is just referring to the invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire.
The academics.hamilton.edu source similarly states "The Mongols began their invasion of Central Asia in 1218... on a mission of vengeance against the ruler of Khwarezm"
I am confused by your citations above to Biran 2009 and a Boundless World History textbook, as neither use the phrase "Invasion of Central Asia". Nevertheless, neither discusses events before 1216.

So to summarize, the sources explicitly titled "The Mongol Invasion of Central Asia" only discuss the Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire, while none of the five sources you have provided support the inclusion of sections on the "Destruction of the Merkit–Naiman alliance", the "Submission of the Uyghurs and Karluks", or the "Destruction of the Merkit–Kipchak alliance". As it stands, the article thus contains quite a bit more WP:SYNTH than before. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:56, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

what part of the world do those sections I added deal with? Geographic Central Asia. It is not SYNTH to mention campaigns that happened in Central Asia as part of a series of campaigns in Central Asia, especially when the argument in question is that there is nothing else that happened in Central Asia. The five sources above that I mentioned I listed before I created this new content. I did not cite them to support these additions. I added these additions because there are additional battles that happened in Central Asia, when the argument is that there wasn't anything else happening in Central Asia.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 19:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some sources that include what I've added as part of Mongol activity in Central Asia: pages 8-10, [32], [33]--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 19:49, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the argument in question is that there is nothing else that happened in Central Asia That is not the argument: as written in the deletion nomination above, the article is not in itself notable—sources do not discuss it as an entity, and to combine multiple sections on individually notable campaigns that are not explicitly connected by reliable sources is WP:SYNTH. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:03, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You contended that the new content I added did not belong in this article. That's what I mean about arguing that nothing else occurred in Central Asia. They are explicitly connected, in the source material. One rolled into the next. The early mopping up of Merkit and Naiman opposition directly flowed into the conquest of Qara Khitai because Kuchlug seized the Qara Khitan throne. And then the Mongols were rubbing up against Khwarazm, which led to that conquest. This is reflected in many of the sources. And this source by one of the historians that I cite in the new content that I added explicitly says the preliminary expansion started in 1209.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 00:27, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, events flowing into each other is generally how time works. I don't think this getting anywhere productive, so I'll disengage and let the closer evaluate. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:46, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If sources discuss all this happening, it isn't original synthesis. There's sources that include both the conquest of Qara Khitai and Khwarazm in descriptions of the Mongol conquest of Central Asia. And now I've provided sources showing that the other actions in geographic Central Asia are described as occurring in that part of the world, and now I've shown that there's at least one source connecting all of these other actions to the big campaign that was the conquest of Khwarazm. While the article still needs work, the concerns for why it is it is nominated for deletion are addressed. Editors are supposed to do their due diligence first and consult sources before nominating for deletion. I can see why the source material would be difficult to work through, but now it's provided, so the notability concerns don't hold water. And whatever remaining SYNTH concerns there might have been, the Timothy May article I linked to above clears those up. Deletion is not a substitute for cleanup. I'll be happy to clean up this article once I've finished the current project I'm working on. It just so happens through coincidence that my creation of articles related to the Mongol conquest of Siberia happened to also have a lot of pertinence to, and overlap with, the early Central Asian endeavors, so I had material relatively at the ready.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 01:01, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

3family6, non-leading question, could you articulate what additional value is contributed to the wiki by the existence of this article as opposed to all its pertinent information (in a future, complete version to your satisfaction) being contained in the other relevant articles? Remsense留 01:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is pertinent to having any over-arching articles about large, inter-related campaigns when we have articles about the constituent campaigns and battles of which they are comprised? We could get even larger - for instance, Anne Broadbridge mentions the "Western Campaign", which is basically everything west and southwest of Mongolia as opposed to the campaign against the Chinese states (note: I'm not saying that in this case we should, but that there's precedent in reliable sources to do so). It's useful for readers (which includes myself) to have articles that are broad summaries that show how a series of specific campaigns are related. Secondly, while some of the content I've added could have its own article, specifically the submission of Uyghur and Karluk states, and the Battle of Chem will have its own article, some of the content I don't think will ever merit its own article. It's more notable in how it relates to these other key events than stand-alone.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 01:33, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The precise meaning of 'campaign' is key here. It may sound like a pedantic point, but is there any notion that the various central Asian campaigns were viewed at the time as being part of a larger 'campaign' as it were? Or is is simply a historiographical construction? I think an article could be viable either way, but it definitely affects what I think the focus and scale of the article should be. Remsense留 01:54, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great question. The conquest of Qara Khitai seems to be part of the same campaign as the initial operations in 1209 that followed-up Jochi's Siberian campaign, as it essentially is part of the "mopping up" of opposition factions that date back to the rise of Genghis Khan. And there's some historical speculation that the Uyghurs and Karluks submitted because the Mongols weren't in their territory just to pursue the Merkits. The part that's less clear is if Khwarazm was viewed as part of this. And I that depends on if there was always a plan to invade Khwarazm, and that's debated by historians. So it's a historical construction, but possibly reflective of how the Mongols saw it. After Khwarazm, it seems a lot clearer that the Mongols now saw the entire West as a possession of the imperial family and the respective campaigns were all part of securing that.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 12:49, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

could you articulate what additional value is contributed to the wiki by the existence of this article as opposed to all its pertinent information (in a future, complete version to your satisfaction) being contained in the other relevant articles? Remsense and AirshipJungleman29, I could see each of the sections I added being turned into an article, if they aren't already, and this article being converted into a reference article such as a dab or list article . I think there's value to having it in full article form, but I can see that as alternate option and I wouldn't be opposed to that.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 03:08, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

3family6, yes, I see it now, I'm going to reverse my original position now. Thanks for the answers! Remsense留 03:21, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't see how any of that discussion solves what seems to be core issue. What need is there for 'an overarching treatment' of the various (apparently very distinct) campaigns? I am not seeing them treated as a unified concept in the sources. What am I missing? Can someone give a short (paragraph or less) explanation of that, please? I am not hard to persuade to keep an article, but I'm just not seeing how this is not WP:SYNTH and probably WP:OR. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:46, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not original synthesis as there are no conclusions reached that aren't in the source material. I challenge editors to show where that is the case. The biggest issue I see is that most references to "Mongol invasion/conquest of Central Asia" refer to Khwarazm or both Qara Khitai and Khwarazm. But, given that 1) these other campaigns/operations also occurred in geographic Central Asia (where else could they be discussed? They aren't Europe or Siberia, although there's overlap. The securing of Xinjiang and surrounding area could be discussed in the invasions China, but if editors are opposing inclusion here, they'd have to oppose inclusion there, as well), and 2) there are academic sources to support both the submission of the Uyghurs and Karluks and the "mopping-up" campaign beginning in 1209. The sections on Qara Khitai and Khwarazm aren't cited, but that's a WP:V issue and there's plenty of sources to support that material that just aren't yet cited.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 23:15, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I still don't see this either. I don't see how the sentence "Mongol expansion into Central Asia began in 1209" requires an entire article to be created on the "Mongol invasion of Central Asia", especially as the same author says differently elsewhere and two other sources define the "Mongol invasion of Central Asia" to be the Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire. If this article is kept, it has to be moved to something like "List of Mongol campaigns in Central Asia", as I did for the article formerly titled Mongol conquest of Siberia. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:59, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it should be moved to "Mongol campaigns in Central Asia". AirshipJungleman29, how would you categorize the minor 1209 campaign in Central Asia if it was created as it's own article? I.e., in the infobox, how would "part of the Mongol campaigns in Central Asia be incorrect, especially given that it can be cited to a source?--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 23:15, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have already created it as its own article: Battle of Irtysh River (13th century). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:55, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair. You would argue that the follow-up activities that would be included in the aftermath section of that article and my forthcoming Battle of Chem River article would be sufficient?--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 00:19, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, I am not sure that even a merge to that subject is worthwhile. I am still firmly in the 'Delete' camp unless someone can explain why this is an encyclopaedic subject in itself and not a synthesis that artificially combines separate campaigns in a way that the scholarship does not support. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 16:58, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scholarship does support it. There's debate as to whether or not Khwarazm was always the end goal after Qara Khitai, and whether it was a goal or not, if the Irghiz River skirmish was a one-off or the prelude to the invasion (which in part depends on when it happened - 1209 or 1219, which is also debated).-- 3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 23:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per 3family6 and Remsense. And anyway, for the editors who want to delete it, why not just split it into separate articles and leave it as a list of the central asian campaigns? JM (talk) 06:56, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keeping this as a list is another possibility if the consensus is to delete.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 23:15, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

JM2023, because we already have those articles (Mongol conquest of the Qara Khitai and Mongol conquest of the Khwarazmian Empire), and we already have a list of Mongol invasions and conquests as well. As the nomination pointed out, this is essentially WP:SYNTH - it summarizes the events of two individually notable campaigns, but is not in itself notable, and it is not discussed as [a unique, separate topic] in WP:RS. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 23:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I buy the argument that each and any way we structure information on this website has to have been done before in a previously published source. To extend that reasoning, the section Mongol invasions and conquests § Central Asia is SYNTH, and Mongol invasions and conquests § History and outcomes must be split up into precisely the military activities that are independently notable.
I did briefly attempt to disprove the assertion that this subject had never been published about under a title like this (which I gave up early without resolution after about ten pages of search hits from the first publisher I checked).
AirshipJungleman29, you're something of a subject matter expert on this, so question for you: is there any title and structure for this material that would satisfy your sense of history communication, or is the framing so problematic that it beguiles readers into misunderstandings?
To me, who knows little about this, it seems like a natural way to group information about Mongol expansion in a certain geographic and temporal space. Am I missing something? Is the article missing something? Looking back over the Mongol invasions and conquests article, I see the heading "West Asia", see a single three-sentence paragraph, and this intimidating section hatnote: What if I want a deeper understanding than the three sentences, but I don't want to read six separate articles? Is Wikipedia unable to summarise material to an intermediate level of detail because that level of detail doesn't really have a precedent in academic publishing? Folly Mox (talk) 05:51, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Folly Mox Mongol invasions and conquests is a pretty terrible article. I have no idea why it's organised geographically rather than chronologically, as is done for literally every war summary on Wikipedia. It is also ludicrously short on detail—the three sentence paragraph you outline could easily be twenty times the length. As it stands, the article's organisation is WP:SYNTH; but its content is not, because many sources do give an overview of the Mongol conquests.
To answer your question, the only way this article should exist in my view is under the title List of Mongol campaigns in Central Asia. But we do not have articles on subjects like List of Napoleonic War battles in modern Germany, or List of Second Sino-Japanese War campaigns in modern Shandong, and I don't think we should, even though they would undoubtedly be "intermediate level summaries" between Napoleonic Wars/Second Sino-Japanese War and Lists of battles of the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars/List of military engagements of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Let me know if that answers your question or if I totally misread it. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:57, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
AirshipJungleman29 thank you for that explanation, that makes a lot more sense to me.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 00:19, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I meant to respond to this days ago, and had a reply all drafted, then my phone crashed and I forgot I never posted it.
I think I'm of the opinion that simply reorganising information cannot be SYNTH, which involves drawing conclusions from a combination of sources where none of the sources individually supports the conclusion. The closest guidance we have for this opinion might be WP:SYNTHNOTSUMMARY, or its catchily named upstairs neighbour WP:SYNTHNOTJUXTAPOSITION, which sounds like a curse hex where someone changed a single character to avoid a naming taboo. Both of these are from an essay.
That's not to say we can just write about whatever we want as long as it's sourced adequately: some things are not encyclopaedic topics. Being that the nom and the creator seem to be coming to an agreement below, I don't think I'll be leaving a not-vote, but I did want to circle back to this before it closed. Folly Mox (talk) 18:49, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm changing my keep vote to ""split off"" into individual articles the content that doesn't already have an article (I'm planning to do this, in the meantime I can put the content in my sandbox), and ""disambiguate"' the title. I disagree with AirshipJungleman29 and Last1in that this article is SYNTH, but AirshipJungleman29 makes a really good point about this article not following existing conventions that others in this subject matter follow. I think it will be superfluous and redundant. Remsense and JM2023, see my change of mind here.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 15:30, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting. As a closer, I have a few options available to me: Keep, Delete, Merge, Redirect, Draftify and Rename/Move. I can not "split off" this article into other articles or disambiguate it. Those are editorial decisions to be made by you all if it is decided that this article should be Kept. So most of this discussion here, while interesting, is besides the point and can occur on the article talk page if there is a consensus to Keep this article. Right now, I don't see a consensus so I'm relisting this discussion. As for any future contributions to this discussion, please keep them simple, realizing the limitations that a closer deals with, and move content-related discussions of what might happen later to this article to the article talk page.

Keep. Does the "Mongol invasion of Central Asia" exists as a single coherent subject, as oppose to WP:SYN? Yes, it does, because it appears as such in books, as one can easily find out using Google books search. For example, Palgrave Concise Historical Atlas of Central Asia (chapter IV, page 22), Conflict and Security in Central Asia and the Caucasus, whole book named Mongol Invasion of Central Asia, and so and so on. My very best wishes (talk) 19:44, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All these invasions were sequentially undertaken by the armies of Genghis Khan, which unifies them as a single subject. This is pretty much as the Mongol invasion of Europe, which also consisted of many separate rides to occupy different specific territories. My very best wishes (talk) 20:40, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally, this needs attention of someone familiar with the verification domain.

A fundamental rewrite doesn't necessarily mean that it should be deleted.

keep [34] has quite a few paragraphs describing BattleMechs (see "KNOW YOUR ROLE"). [35] is all about a single BattleMech. [36] has a fair bit of coverage (at least 1 page) with quotes like "Battlemechs are capable of movement called torso-twisting..." and details about overheating etc. [37], 2nd book in that series, has similar coverage. All are independent, reliable sources. Hobit (talk) 18:35, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The first source is just a game guide. WP:NOTGUIDE and game-guides how to pilot a BattleMech or use them in games do not help us much. Then we have a plot summary, a passing mentoion, and a passing mention, all related to the video game. I am not impressed by these sources, sorry. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:07, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For the first source: GAMEGUIDE doesn't disallow the use of sources that are gameguides, it tells us to not write a gameguide. And in this case the source describes, in great detail, the topic in the context of a specific game. The second is about a specific BattleMech, which is a lot of plot, but it can give as a sentence or two about the largest of its kind, which seems useful. The third and forth are a few paragraphs--that's a lot more than is typically a "passing mention" and they cover details like how the Mechs move and why that makes using them effectively difficult, something that belongs in an article like this. All are reliable, independent, secondary sources. The first covers the topic in detail, the second covers a narrow subset of the topic in significant detail, and the the last two are significant coverage. WP:N is met with some margin. And there is a massive amount of primary sources. In fact, finding these secondary sources is only difficult because of the massive number of primary ones. We can write a fine article with what we have. Hobit (talk) 23:20, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
IMHO discussion of how battlemechs move in a specific game (here, MechWarrior 4: Vengeance) is perhaps relevant to that game but does not help us estabilish notability of the concept of battlemech. The book's chapter is about the game, helps estabilish the game's notability, but WP:NOTINHERITED. Its discusion of the game in the context of some interface on piloting mecha, or programming their movement, is again not relevant to BattleMech concept, just video game design and perhaps mecha in general. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:36, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Two points. #1 Our standard is WP:N. There can be no doubt that those sources cover the topic of BattleMech in a way that goes beyond "in-passing". So we've met WP:N. Secondly BattleMechs are going to be covered in the context of a game--they are part of a game (and fiction), there is no other way to cover them. Hobit (talk) 19:23, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry but I do not see which sources cover this topic in a way that is not in-passing and goes beyond plot summary or gameguide stuff. Which means that we cannot write encyclopedic article, since per WP:NOT states our articles need to be more than plot summaries or game guides. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:37, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. This is a fictional topic with games and books. Dozens of games and books, maybe more than 100. This topic is the primary focus of those games and books. None of that causes the topic to meet our inclusion guidelines, though I do find it indicative of a notable topic. Having multiple sources that are reliable, independent sources is, however, the very definition of notable for Wikipedia. We have that. All of these are more than one paragraph. Some are significantly more than that. We are over WP:N. Unless I'm missing something, GAMEGUIDE and NOTPLOT are about how we write the article, they don't restrict sources or add requirements beyond WP:N. Do you disagree with that? If so, could you quote which parts you think either cause us to exclude sources or add requirements beyond WP:N? Hobit (talk) 04:27, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Hobit: WP:GNG states that ""Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article."

Not to bad mouth anyone but Frankymulls what's gonna change in a span of three months that did not happen in three years? I know the subject is able to pull some strings and most likely fabricate sources, which I believe is definitely how they got their article afloat for this long. I never saw this article at NPR/South Africa. The subject pays editors (mainly new) to write about him, and I'm ashamed to say I'm a victim of that, which is why I was amazed when I saw their article here (of course with no RS). He saw that I created Mvzzle, Rethabile Khumalo, and "Umlilo" then they approached me at my talk then WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger and promised to pay me if I can write about them. If there was no keep !vote I was gonna lean towards speedy, I don't know why it is so important for him to be on Wikipedia and even to go as far as to fabricate source but such behavior cannot be tolerated. dxneo (talk) 16:27, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
user:Dxneo you ask what will change in 3 months that did not happen in 3 years? I can't answer that directly but I can say his latest article in daily voice says he signed with a Notable musician this year in August and is busy with his first Album which is powered by the south African national lottery.

That is what makes it different from all your attempts trying to creste the article, this time there is actual proof that the guy exists

. And that genuine journalists wrote about him at free will, the newspapers even have a wikipedia page which can be found here Daily Voice (South African newspaper)

And has hundreds of thousands readers daily.

Please do your research before taking your personal vendetta out on wikipedia, from what you told me it sounds like you out to get revenge bud.

That a newspaper has a Wikipedia article here does not mean that someone they write about is automatically notable. See WP:NOTINHERITED. As to your accusations of a personal vendetta on the part of Dxneo, I strongly advise you to carefully read and from this point on adhere to Wikipedia:No personal attacks. Comment on content, not the contributor. Your attacking another editor does nothing to help your argument and actually undermines your own argument. Nobody is going to be convinced you're right and we're all wrong because you think someone has a personal vendetta. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:18, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I hear your point but the artist actually meets at least 1 requirement at WP:ANYBIO which is 2. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field.

Also to mention the subject has been featured in a very popular newspaper in Cape town south Africa and a Spanish News Media site which both is secondary from the subject and the news reported by the journalists from these sources are reliable and secondary from each other and the subject.

I see the long excessive trys to create the article on B Major (South African musician), user:Dxneo somehow you have been a sockpocket all along and the energy I get from this deletion is that you have some personal vendetta with the guy. Which we do not allow on wikipedia, your involvement in this deletion gives it the impression that this guy didnt pay you due to your last attempt? And you created the article in the first place knowing the guy wasn't that notable at the time?

Being featured in "multiple" news sources means at least more than 1 article covered in depth about the subject which this article passes. Not to mention WP:Stub. This article definitely has the potential to grow and be more notable in his field unlike the other article I created which is Doc Shebeleza (South African musician)

This artist has a history on wikipedia but it shouldn't determine his future on wikipedia, at this time he at least meets 1/2 requirements and should be in no ways harm of being deleted. Frankymulls (talk) 17:07, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Frankymulls, actually I refused to get paid as I thought I was doing a good thing, and at that time I was inexperienced citing even primary sources meaning I did not know if the subject was notable or not (I did not know anything about notability). The sources you're talking about are written like wiki articles and are likely promotional, the only verifiable of the subject is this one. Oh and yeah maybe I'm a sockpuppet, that's why the admins trusted me with so many perms not once but twice. The subject never charted, was never nominated for any notable award, and never received any recording certifications as per RiSA. I am here to ensure that this is a safe place, I don't do personal attacks. dxneo (talk) 17:18, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A subject/musician don't need to chart to have a wikipedia page. WP:NOTABILITY Depends on WP:Significant Coverage and Secondary Sources. Which the subject has and it covers him in depth, plus they are newspapers who keeps archives. Whatever is written on his wiki article can be found at least on 2 of the reliable sources which is sited. Frankymulls (talk) 17:27, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you know anything about journalism you will know that if you're writing about a new subject, you have to introudce it properly to your readers. If it's a person, their real names , what they do, date of birth and why you're writing about the subject. Frankymulls (talk) 17:31, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

keep: Per WP:NBASIC People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple (which means more than 1) published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. Which i don't see how a newspaper from Spain can be intellectually connected to an Afrikaans news paper in Cape Town.

Do you guys think this is a game? Excluding reviewers, you two Frankymulls and UncleCedric are the only people who worked on the article and it's amazing how the latter last edited on 12 September and came back today for this AfD which I believe they did not get a notification from, a checkuser might be needed here.

The last AFD discussion was convincing when one reads right to the bottom and then follows-up on what MelanieN pointed out five years ago.
As explained there, this started off as undeclared paid editing by Biografix (talk · contribs). Then Dszarek1234 (talk · contribs) and 141.116.106.218 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) (an IP address from the Office of the Secretary of Defense) stepped in saying "As the Digital Media Analyst with ASA(ALT), I've been tasked by the Director of External Communications to scrub Dr. Jette's wiki page and use his official Department of Defense bio.".
Then after the first AFD discussion in 2018 a single-purpose account Acquisition1954 (talk · contribs) and 141.116.250.235 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 141.116.107.56 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 141.116.54.154 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) (more OSD IP addresses) got at the article in 2019 and filled it with all sorts of unverifiable stuff like what the innermost thoughts of the article subject, coincidentally who was born in 1954 and worked in acquisition, were at age 5.
We should get rid of this entire edit history.
There have been no contributions apart from the usual mechanical fiddlings for categories and whatnot by anyone else. There's no writing here that hasn't either had or outright declared a conflict of interest, and there has been at least one direct statement of intent to violate our fundamental NPOV and verifiability content policies (which latter the article now hugely does — at least the undeclared paid editor gave a pretense of adhering to the verifiability policy, but the "tasked" people and the people with the coincidental usernames and Pentagon IP addresses haven't even bothered at all to tell readers how they can check, say, what this person did as a football mascot in the early 1970s) by the people who wrote this content.

Inclined toward keeping or at least draftifying, since he's a national (N.Ir.) champion, and national champions usually turn out to be notable. The problem for us is that material on snooker from this far back is usually on paper, so it's going to take research into newspaper archives and print snooker magazines and the like. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 20:45, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SMcCandlish: I can't get to NewsBank because of the British Library's ongoing IT problems, but apart from newspapers.com as mentioned above, I also checked the British Newspaper Archive, which has numerous passing mentions but no significant coverage as far as I could find. For 1991, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association opened membership to anyone who paid a fee. The November 1990 Snooker Scene reported that there were 443 new snooker professionals, including McGlinchey; in a monthly magazine with only around 32 pages, obviously there was not going to be room to provide in-depth coverage of all of the new intake alongside all of the other snooker and billiards news and reports. Cue World had already been merged into Snooker Scene by that point, and from the issues of Pot Black I have from around that time, it seems unlikely that they would have given any more coverage than Snooker Scene, despite their higher page count. In my opinion, it would be very unlikely that a player who never reached the top 100 in the rankings would get significant coverage in the snooker press after 1990, unless there was something apart from their results to report on. The Snooker Scene coverage of McGlinchey's 2006 national amateur title (in the July 2006 issue) would perhaps scrape throught as one suitable source, although it's mostly quotes from him. The magazine's report on his 2010 win (in the July 2010 issue) is two short paragaphs of very routine coverage. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:00, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: WP:CUENOT In the case of large countries, if the player has won a major regional championship (e.g. at the state level in the US; or the England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland level in the UK), they may also qualify and Professional players should have their own articles if they have won an international or national championship organized by a major organization in the sport (i.e. local leagues emphatically do not qualify), or are highly ranked in their sport. I am not sure if this is enough.

Hi, Jeraxmoira, please note that WP:CUENOT mentions in its introduction that it "should not be relied upon in the article deletion process, which is subject to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, not wikiproject recommendations."

Sure, but the company is synonymous with the product. It's all they make. That's why WP:NCORP says: In cases where a company is mainly known for a single series of products or services, it is usually better to cover the company and its products/services in the same article. Why? I Ask (talk) 23:15, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability of the company. HighKing⁺⁺ 11:30, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of minor planets: 624001–625000

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

"Minor planets" are rocks of often less than a kilometre in diametre, of which there is a nearly endless supply, almost none of them (of these higher numbered, smaller ones) in any way notable. We can continue creating pages for them, but why? It's a WP:NOTSTATS violation, a reposting of database entries. I don't know where the cutoff should be (first 100,000? first 500,000?), but we can start by discussing if this one (and by definition future even higher numbered ones) should exist or not.

- And why is the list notable? Fram (talk) 11:52, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep, the NASA source is credible and reliable. Though more sources would be helpful. Agreed that the individual planets, minor ones, do not merit their own pages, but as a list this would appear to pass basic notability test. As is, i would like to see some more sources though. Iljhgtn (talk) 13:29, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep

These lists serve as a backbone to WP:Astronomy's minor-planets edifice, and only contain the most superficial details regarding each MP; the vast majority of statistics are not included. Since most of these bodies won't become articles, these lists serve as their default link location, a landing page, so that readers may get a basic idea of what a particular MP is (why is it named the way is it? where is its orbit in the solar system - near Earth, the main belt, near Jupiter, past Neptune? how big is it? is it a member of one of the asteroid groups, or perhaps even an asteroid family?). Links are included to various databases for much more detailed information.
Per WP:NASTRO#Inclusion in another article or list / WP:NASTRO#Dealing with minor planets. Over the years, many non-notable MPs have been #R'd to these lists. The presence of these lists helps lessen the growth of non-notable MPs, either by dissuading article creation directly, or by easily allowing someone to cite WP:NASTRO to turn the non-notable MP article into an #R.

The given example that is currently running for deletion is cited to the exact same two sources as the lists. I would support the deletion of both.

Oh WP:GAZETTEER is a good argument, but easily opposed by WP:NOTGAZETTEER.

Again this is a bigger issue than just the one list nominated. There ought to be a discussion about whether Wikipedia is the correct place to operate/mirror a database of space objects, but AfD is not the right forum. Nevertheless, surely one list of minor planets is enough for one encyclopaedia. Why do we have a second, near-identical structure commencing at Meanings of minor-planet names and again branching into hundreds of tabulated lists? This is mad duplication.

If the experts who decide whether this is a volcanic field have decided that they were mistaken and that there is no such field, surely Wikipedia should follow suit? Special:Diff/1186683457 boggles the mind. The clear rationale seems to be that the article is false and not supported by the experts any more. That is unverifiability, and a basic reason for deletion that has been in deletion policy since 2003. Furthermore: As I have said elsewhere I think the answer to A. B.'s question is that the NERC‐BGS will follow suit soon enough, since its database, it claims^[1], is a join on the Smithsonian's; and soon Smithsonian record #225002 will be there no more. It all depends from when it imports and how it handles records that get deleted and no longer join to its own data. Uncle G (talk) 07:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

●Delete- The only 2 references listed are from the same website, one of which is about a health act & not the centre specificaly, neither of the two refs provide significant coverage of the centre. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 15:32, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I've been watching this since the nom. and hoping someone else would find something, but as it is on the second relist, I've taken a fuller look. I am unimpressed by an argument that says "are generally notable." If this is notable, there will be sources. If there are no sources, it is unclear how any encyclopaedic page can be written. The nom specifically cites WP:ORGSIG which says No company or organization is considered inherently notable. No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is. So is this notable? I can't find sources talking about it. There is a touch more about the Welsh Health Common Services Authority which also has no page (not the same thing). There was a Welsh Centre for Rural Health and an institute for Health Informatics that were funded by Welsh Government but independent. There were a whole plethora of Welsh Health organisations over the years, all of which would be scraping the barrel to find their way beyond permastub status as pages. What is missing, I think, is some kind of page looking at the healthcare landscape in Wales. We have NHS Wales but that is largely the current situation. The Wales Centre for Health could be mentioned in an as yet unwritten page looking at the historical situation, but there is not notability for a page in its own right.

While I'd consider rail lines to almost always be notable, I question whether the CSX subdivision is the notable topic. Subdivisions are things made up by someone at CSX headquarters in Jacksonville, and do not necessarily correlate to lines as a whole, or to notable topics. This article is one of many mass-produced by an editor who decided every single CSX subdivision should have an article, irrespective of sourcing, notability, or if it even made sense to do so.

Hokokwito, California

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Mass-created article by Carlossuarez46.

Cites only GNIS, which is unreliable and does not satisfy the requirement for legal recognition per WP:GNIS. Populated places without legal recognition need to pass WP:GNG, however there is no evidence of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources here.

In my WP:BEFORE I searched Newspapers.com for Hokokwito, Hococwedoc, and Hok-ok-wi-dok but drew a blank. I also searched Google Books which found a single one-sentence mention that appears to originate in the 1870's with work by Stephen Powers. In full it reads:

"Hok-ok'-wi-dok, which stood very near where Hutchings Hotel now stands, opposite Yosemite Fall"

This single-sentence, 16-word mention, is not significant coverage. Whilst other books include exactly the same description copied from the Powers one, this copying also does not amount to significant coverage. A search on the Internet Archive also only turned up copies of this single-sentence description from Powers.

A redirect to Yosemite Valley, California would be acceptable as an ATD. ~~We do not have an article specifically about Yosemite Village, in which Hutchings Hotel was apparently located.~~(apparently I just wasn't looking in the right place). FOARP (talk) 16:40, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I could have called this N/C and probably been within admin discretion, but what put me closer to keep is that we have reasonable belief that the Weldon chair is tied with the Dean position.

I was not able to verify the named professorship to my satisfaction: it is on the subject's linkedin, and on the Interlochen biography (likely provided by the subject with minimal oversight), but nowhere on Dalhousie's webpages.

But if it doesnt meet any other notability criteria, such as that it cannot be independently verified that she actually meets WP:NACADEMIC, is she really notable? AriTheHorse 12:08, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is there to see it, is it still a tree? Yes. We do not require our topics to meet all other notability guidelines. We do not require articles on sportspeople to meet WP:NPOL. We do not require articles on musicians to meet WP:NATHLETE. And similarly, we do not require articles on professors to meet notability standards for other topics. WP:NPROF explicitly states that non-independent but reliable sources (such as official publications or web sites of the employer) may be used to verify that the person passes criterion #5. As someone who passes a Wikipedia notability criterion, they are automatically ipso facto notable. The fact that they do not pass a different criterion based on publicity rather than professional recognition is unimportant, just as the fact that most celebrities are not given named professorships is unimportant. Keep, bordering on WP:SK3 speedy keep, no valid nomination rationale given. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:27, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@David Eppstein I believe the point that @AriTheHorse is making, or trying to make, is that there is no reliable source presented for the named professorship whether independent or primary. I.e. the only citation for the named professorship is not an "official publication or web site of the employer" but rather what looks like a user generated bio for Harding's role as a trustee for an unrelated charity [51]. I have tried the employer Dalhousies website under several searches - and same as Russ Woodroofe above I am unable to verify the named professorship. Also agreed - citation record does not look great from what I can find. Delete [though please ping me if a WP:RS is presented and happy to change].

Keep. Harding is the new dean of the law school at Dalhousie and their public relations department has yet to catch up and create press releases with her full title or a faculty web page. Refreshing that their PR group is not as agressive as those of US universities, but it will have a university link soon enough. The full appointment is both as Dean and Weldon Professor. See these items for the previous deans for evidence:

Just because the named professorship is tied to the top leadership position, does not make it NOT a named professorship. I mean, you get hired as both, instead of hired as just a named professor, what is your point here? Quick, Spot the Quetzalcoatl! (talk) 07:58, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would assume, also, that when the named professorship is added to her university biography (by all the accounts above) she will suddenly become notable ... but isn't yet ... seems a bit intransigent as no one has said that a Weldon Professor is not notable except for one person who believes a Dean can't be a professor too for some reason. Quick, Spot the Quetzalcoatl! (talk) 08:02, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. WP:NPROF C5 is the subcriterion that requires the most attention, as named chairs have proliferated. I agree that the Weldon chair appears to be tied to the dean position, and I do not think that a chair granted for holding an administrative office is the kind of distinguished professorship discussed in the subcriterion, especially when the administrative office is not otherwise a pass of NPROF. However, when I looked more carefully at the citation record, I am seeing several highly cited papers, in what I understand to be a low to mid citation field: Justifying Repatriation of Native American Cultural Property, Value, Obligation and Cultural Heritage, and Comparative Reasoning and Judicial Review. The name is common enough that searching is a little difficult: "Sarah Harding chicago" was useful. I think it is enough for WP:NPROF C1, which is what WP:NPROF C5 is supposed to be a shortcut for anyway. "Weak" because the the citation rates drop off quickly after that. I agree that the nomination was ill-formed, not considering the most relevant notability standard. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:05, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. I agree that the professorship is probably tied to being dean, but agree that this is a named professorship nonetheless. While I don't think that all deans are necessarily notable, I do think being a dean is an indication of notability, and I think being dean of Schulich School of Law is a particularly good indication of notability. Josh Milburn (talk) 10:40, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify until a WP:RS does indeed confirm the named professorship (!vote changed from delete). Because: the evidence provided by StarryGrandma does indicate it is likely the Weldon professorship is linked to being Dean, but none of those references explicitly state the two posts are indeed linked. Consequently, as this is a new appointment, it should not be long until it is confirmed and the article may then leave draft. ResonantDis_tortion 19:13, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There are several media outlets that call this rivalry the Battle of the Border in their coverage. [52][53][54][55] Alvaldi (talk) 21:16, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Going over the sources, in the order in which they appear: Non-WP:INDY. SI bare stats that do not even mention a rivalry. Non-INDY. More bare stats. Non-INDY (and a mangled cite). Non-INDY × 3. Non-INDY and another mangled cite. Non-INDY × 10. I'm not going to read all the non-independent material from school publications to see if even they have any in-depth material on a "rivalry" as such, since none of it counts toward notability. A couple of sentences might be mergeable into the articles on the schools in the sections under their athletic departments, but since it doesn't seem like anyone declares a "rivalry" to exist other than people at the schools, even this doesn't really seem like encyclopedically pertinent claims, and the all the sourcing for it would be WP:PRIMARY. The bare fact that there's a local name, "Battle of the Border", for games (in various sports) between teams from these schools might be worth including at the school articles, since Wcquidditch's sources above show the term used in independent (local news) sources. But none of them refer to a rivalry, and they're not in sufficient depth about this as a long-term series of games to make it notable. The first is about a particular instance of "The three-game series" in one season of baseball, and is almost entirely focused on players and on team stats, not a series of events as such, or a rivalry. The second is about the outcome of a specific football game and how players performed in it. Ditto the third one but basketball. And the fourth but back to football. So, what we have here is simply proof that locals, including the students and the local press, refer to games between these schools as "Battle[s] of the Border". It's arguably pertinent to mention this in schools' athletic sections, but this is not an encyclopedia topic on its own. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 21:35, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. In addition to the sources that Alvaldi has uncovered above, there is also this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this. Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:04, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The depth of coverage needs to be evaluated; other factors considered in determining whether a series may be considered a traditional rivalry include: (i) geographic proximity of the schools (in this case 60 miles apart on the interstate); (ii) the existence of a trophy or an official name for the series (present here); (iii) competitiveness of the series (McNeese has the edge but not a runaway); (iv) length and frequency of play (series has been played for > 70 years and with regularity); and (v) prominence of the programs (not present here - programs not particularly prominent). Cbl62 (talk) 01:42, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Only the first factor is relevant to whether this should have an article. It matters not one whit that it may have been played for 70 years or has a trophy. It matters whether anyone outwith its coiners has ever documented it, and its trophy and whatnot, in depth during those 70 years, which is only marginally the case from the aforegiven.

  - outwith, coiners and aforegiven: Brings to mind a zinger coined by old Bill Shakespeare: "Who knows himself a braggart, let him fear this, for it will come to pass that every braggart shall be found an ass." SIGCOV is the touchstone, and no one has said otherwise. That said, it is entirely appropriate (one might even say "snotor") in close cases to look at other real-world factors in determining whether or not a series of football games is worthy of a stand-alone article.

Delete: agree with SMcCandlish's eval. Sources show that students and school boosters use the phrase and that local news covers local sports.

Ejgreen77's new sources are:
- a 1966 newspaper article that devotes 5 sentences to the subject (before going off to concentrate on the subject of the individual players of two sports teams), and at least gives us some historical context, although wouldn't justify a whole article;
- a 1982 newspaper article that is a headline-only match, and spends all of its body talking about a single family with two sports players in it that have ended up in competition with each other;
- a 1979 newspaper article that is fairly substantial, analysing the rivalry itself for a major fraction of the piece, and has an amusing "I don't know that it can be classified as a great rivalry" quotation;
- a 2022 newspaper article that is a headline-only match, that is actually an after-match score report and doesn't discuss a battle or a rivalry at any point in its body, and is a prime example of research-by-search-engine-keyword-matching without reading the source;
- a 2022 newspaper article that spends its first 4 sentences on the subject, and is like the 1966 one, providing more stuff on the subject for its development in the 21st century, building it up, making this three not very big independent sources, with a huge gap in the history between 1979 and 2022; and
- a 1971 newspaper article that ironically explains why the 1982 article is a non-source, since it supports adding content saying that the 1982 situation is run of the mill and why it is run of the mill, which still leaves a huge gap in the history, but it's four small sources now.
Alvaldi's sources are all only phrase matches without content like Ejgreen77's first 2022 article, and one of them is that article, which overlap one would think people actually reading the sources proffered would have spotted. Even doing proper citations instead of bare URLs would have made this duplication easy to spot.
I could make a fair stub out of this, but it would have glaring holes in it that the phrase-only headline-only matching research doesn't fill in. Amusingly with regard an earlier comment in this discussion, the second 2022 newspaper article explains how this is not something that has gone on continuously for 70 years, because it explains that there was a gap when it didn't. We have 40 years missing, during which there could have been further gaps, for all that we know. Would that people were properly researching this, instead of phrase matching with search engines!
So that's a stub with probable scope for expansion, although we have no sources to show that the scope for expansion, to the missing decades, and to the other sports (the proffered sources all discussing one sport and not even the women's teams), is definitely there.

Ulrika Björklund

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:BLP of a political figure, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NPOL. The article literally just states that she's a person who exists, while completely failing to state what political offices she may have held -- but politicians are not all "inherently" notable just for existing, and are only presumed notable in certain specific major offices, so an article that completely elides what offices the person even held in the first place clearly doesn't cut it.
Additionally, the fact that there's no article about her at all on the Swedish Wikipedia doesn't bode well, since there's just no way that Swedish editors would completely overlook her if she were actually a holder of any NPOL-passing office.
In addition, two of the three footnotes here are just address directory entries, which are not reliable or WP:GNG-building sourcing, and the only one that comes from a real media outlet appears to suggest that she's just a local figure in a small town, which is a level at which we would need far, far more than just one GNG-worthy source to deem her notable enough.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this article from having to contain a lot more substance than this, and a lot more sourcing for it than just one media hit and a bunch of phone books. Bearcat (talk) 13:54, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, AFAIK this person has been elected at local (municipal and county) levels only, which doesn't suffice for NPOL, and the sources fall well short of GNG. I had a quick search and found a few secondary sources, but they only cover her in the context of her crossing the floor to a different party, so again not enough for GNG. There could be more if one digs deeper, but it's not particularly easy as the name is fairly common. If the author can produce more and better sources, then I'm prepared to reconsider my stance, but as it stands this seems non-notable. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:11, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:ONEEVENT regarding the party transfer, and the notion tat she has a "role in education policy" seems like a major exaggeration. Not every person who was the subject of a feature in a local or regional newspaper is Wikipedia material. I have access to the Swedish Mediearkivet, but on the basis provided here, it's not at all compelling to search for gems in newspapers. This looks like a regular person who is active in her community and doesn't like a political party. Geschichte (talk) 13:46, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We have multiple, multi-year, sigcov RS, this satisfies the GNG.

It is a point of interpretation how significant a given piece of coverage is. And my interpretation is, among others, that the significance is being overplayed regarding the education piece. Geschichte (talk) 07:53, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We have four reliable soruces with SIGCOV in relation to the subject (two of which deal with one issue). An editor's opinion of the importance of the coverage (ie editorial decision making) is not relevant. The second Nerikes Allehanda is reporting on the subject's intentions with regard to education policy; whatever one's views on the contents, it's not our job to assess their importance. Even if you take away that piece, we still still satisfy BASIC/GNG. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 02:33, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Draftify~~ Keep per WP:BEFORE's criteria D4 -- I agree with the Keep !voters above that the article should exist, and the nomination seems very much in the category of WP:ZEAL (it came less than three hours after the initial creation). That said, this is not the article that needs to exist. At the moment, it is nothing more than a flat list of statements with no context or explanation, and there is no encyclopaedic treatment of the subject. Draftify will allow the editor to build it out and get assistance from others who might be willing to find Quality sources are out there. A casual glance at gScholar shows that the subject is widely discussed in academic literature [58], [59], [60]. A key term that editors may want to include is Orientalism, the precursor to Islamophobia. Also, there seems to be good secondary articles on such tropes in Buddhism ([61], [62], etc.)that could globalise the article.

I disagree with draftifying; it is in mainspace that articles may develop. If we draftify, realistically, the only one who will know or care about the draft will be whoever created it. In mainspace, it will be more visible and thus will solicit improvements from a larger range of editors. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 15:47, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. Per WP:BEFORE's D4, If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination (emphasis in original). I will change my !vote above. It does sorta raise the question of what Draftify is for, though. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:04, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article's talk page has a list of sources that may be used to expand the article.Sjö (talk) 06:13, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nom comment Without comment on the rest of the arguments, I resent the implication that this is a WP:ZEAL nomination. The article as it stands then and now is highly unencyclopaedic, and it was not clear what type of sources could be used. (I would argue it is still not clear, because the scope of the article is poorly defined. Trope and rhetoric are different things, and there's also the "by whom" question.) This is a highly contentious topic, one in which it could be argued that an unencyclopaedic entry is worse than having no entry. Someone who actually bothers to make an improvement can make a new article if it is needed, and in the meantime, letting the article as it currently is stay up unchanged because someone can hypothetically change it for the better is irresponsible (note that having an imperfect article is not an argument for deletion, but TNT is). If the AfD does close as keep without any improvement, I will probably be TNT stubifying the article. After all, if this was clearly inside ARBPIA, it'd have been db-gs'd centuries ago.

Draftify - I'm inclined to think that this is a worthy article for inclusion but I have no idea how it could be fairly written without WP:OR.

Comment: the article now is essentially the same as it was when nominated. Regardless of the outcome of this AfD, the nomination was appropriate and made in good faith. The accusation of WP:ZEAL is baseless. Owen× ☎ 11:03, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You do understand that WP:ZEAL has nothing to do with zealotry, right? It has to do with a rush to delete an article before we know whether it's worth keeping. A better name for it would be WP:OVERPROTECTIVE. There is nothing about bad faith in that entire guideline (nor intended in my use of it), just that some folks propose an article for deletion before editors have a chance to build it out. Anytime an article comes up for AfD a mere hours after creation, ZEAL is a reasonable part of the discussion. In this case, the article was (and is) labeled a stub, the nomination came three hours after the first post, and I feel that the subject does have valid scholarly sources as I linked above. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 12:58, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I know exactly what WP:ZEAL is about, and I stand by my statement. Whether it was three hours or three months, if the article wasn't ready for main namespace, it should have been introduced in draftspace. The topic could have--and I believe should have--been developed inside the Islamophobia in the media article, and only spun off if and when its size and independent notability allowed for a standalone page. WP:ZEAL is an essay intended to discourage editors from nominating articles that haven't had a chance to get fleshed out. It is not an automatic waiver against nomination of pages less than X days old. Yes, ZEAL is indeed often part of the discussion when the nomination comes shortly after the article's creation, but that is not to say that it is always a reasonable part of the discussion. If the potential to mature into a viable article isn't apparent, article age is irrelevant, and a ZEAL accusation is unreasonable and unnecessarily antagonistic. Owen× ☎ 13:41, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
First, I made no accusations here, and there is no reason to be nasty about it. Until a few hours ago, this was a discussion on the merits of the article, not the editors. I found an AfD where (1) I easily located hundreds of quality RSs many of which could help make this a good article (I posted my WP:THREE), and (2) the AfD came three hours after the article's first post (which felt like -- still feels like -- overprotectiveness). Whether it should have started in draft space or not, AfD is not for cleanup and I felt Draftify was a good option. Maddy's point about draftifying an existing, mainspace article felt persuasive to me so I moved from Draftify to Keep. If this is is again going to devolve into insults and accusations, I'll take my leave. Thank you and good day. Last1in (talk) 14:46, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the talk page discussion, the named chart does not qualify, and Ms. Lawrence could be considered "one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style" under WP:NMUSICIAN, **IF** Halloween Carols are a notable genre, and that is not convincing. Otherwise she is a working musician with various symphonies and has focused on some unique personal interests, but that does not make her notable enough for an article here. This article is dependent on personal and self-promotional sources, and tries to fill space with desperate leaps of notability, such as being mentioned in the same magazine as someone loosely affiliated with Iron Maiden or being asked to comment on someone else's book. She clearly does some unique things, but sorry no cigar. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:51, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of English-speaking Quebecers

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not meet WP:NLIST; there's a difference between Anglophones in Quebec and 'people in Quebec who can/do speak English'. To me, this is the difference between 'hockey players from Quebec' and 'people from Quebec who can/do play hockey'. I don't see this as a cohesive group of people per the terms of NLIST ("topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources") compared to Anglo-Quebecois or Anglophones in Quebec. It's also not clear what the criteria for "English-speaking" is - should both Justin and Pierre Elliott Trudeau be on this list? Even Quebecer is vague - John Abbott was born in Lower Canada, Samuel Bronfman was from Bessarabia and lived for many years in Manitoba, etc. The topic isn't specific enough to warrant a list under this title. Relatedly, we do not have articles for 'List of French-speaking Albertans' and such from other provinces. Kazamzam (talk) 04:31, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would it make any difference if the article was renamed "List of Anglophone Quebecers"?
We have a long article on this group: English-speaking Quebecers. With 47 footnotes and 20 other references (including a book on the subject^[63]), the topic is certainly notable.

Delete: as outlined by OP, this list doesn't even make it clear what its inclusion criteria are. Right now, it seems to be a list of people from Quebec who don't have French last names, maybe? Though even that isn't clear, as some of them apparently are born outside Quebec. So what do we even count here as Quebecois? Does being born outside Quebec with parents from Quebec count? Do you have to have to have a registered address there? Also, apparently more than half the people in Quebec speak English, so is this really that notable? And lastly, how do we know this is even correct? Sure, we could check whether, say, and actor from the list speaks English in their films, but that's just original research. Cortador (talk) 11:38, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- It did slightly more so at its original title, which was List of famous English-speaking Quebecers. So it was meant to be "famous" people, erroneously conflating the notion of having a Wikipedia article with fame and importance. Uncle G (talk) 11:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The title is referencing anyone who doesn't identify as a French-language native from Quebec; Canada has historically had two groups, the English everywhere else but Quebec, and the French population from Quebec (and to a lesser extent, in the rest of the country that are descendants from the original French settlers) that are the reason the country is setup as it is. The title refers to individuals from the first group that live among the second group, inside Quebec. Oaktree b (talk) 15:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: List is fine, needs some sort of an introduction to explain what is meant by the title perhaps. Canada was founded by French settlers, who were then conquered by the English and setup the country as we have it now, with the English group being larger than the French group (ignoring the Native population and everyone who doesn't fit in either category, but that's a discussion for another time...) Oaktree b (talk) 15:09, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Oaktree b - agree with the above explanation about Franco and Anglo history in Quebec and ROC, but for the non-Canadians among us, that's unclear from the title. I would at minimum change the name to Anglophone to clarify that it's not referring to 'anyone in Quebec who can speak English' because that would be an enormous list of minimal value. And the meaning of "Quebecer" is similarly vague: the Bronfman family was in Manitoba for decades, John Abbott was born before "Quebec" was the entity that it is today, author Sarah Bernstein lives in Scotland, Dov Charney flew the coop to the US as a high school student, and so on. @Cortador is right in pointing out that what counts as Quebecois is unclear. Kazamzam (talk) 15:33, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Using "Quebecois" in referring to English-speaking Quebecers is not helpful in this context, as that word can mean people from Quebec, but it can also mean those Quebecers of traditional French-Canadian heritage. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 17:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Mr Serjeant Buzfuz as someone who is Quebecois in both senses of the word, I am familiar with both meanings. It's an imprecise term, as is the word Quebecer itself. My issue with this point, and with your reply below (almost all of which I agree with) is that what makes an "English-speaking" "Quebecer" is so vague that this list could incorporate thousands of people who do not have much in common beyond a linguistic characteristic that is non-specific (i.e. immigrant English-speaking Quebecers for whom English is a second, third, or fourth language vs. the well-established Montreal Jewish community vs. First Nations groups) and a residence status that is fluid. Are we going to update the list every time someone on here moves? When does someone start and stop being a Quebecer and who gets to make that call?

I agree that as a constitutionally reocgnised group there is sufficient notability; my argument is about the lack of coherence as a group in the current form that this list is in. Kazamzam (talk) 18:20, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the comments. I agree it's a fluid concept, but I don't think that means it's unworkable. If we treat it solely as a combination of English as primary language, and residence in Quebec, and get away from the idea of it being an ethnic identity, then it becomes more workable. An "English-speaking Quebecer" is someone whose primary language is English, and whose residence is in Quebec. If they leave Quebec, they're no longer an English-speaking Quebecer. For example, retired Supreme Court judge Ian Binnie was born in Quebec and spent his early years there, but moved to Toronto where he became highly notable. I wouldn't treat him as an English-speaking Quebecer, because he's notable for his legal career in Ontario. Again, there may be edge cases, where someone who speaks English has spent most of their life in Quebec and is notable for their working life in Quebec, but retires to Florida. :) But we don't throw out a concept because there are some judgment calls. From the perspective of notability, I would find it contradictory to have an article on English-speaking Quebecers that meets notability standards, but then say that it's not possible to have a list of English-speaking Quebecers. How can that be reconciled? I think we have to accept that it is a fluid concept, but I don't think that means the list is unworkable. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 15:46, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename to “List of anglophone Quebecers”. From a policy perspective, this list meets WP:NLIST: the topic is notable and the list entries are verifiable by blue links. Deletion ≠ cleanup.

The article needs improvement by better defining the criteria and perhaps purging a few members after this is done. The list might also address some of the ambiguities noted above by breaking into sections:

- Anglophones from Quebec now living elsewhere
- Anglophones now living in Quebec from other places
- Native anglophone Quebecers

I think this list is as much about an ethnic identity as it is about language skills. —A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 16:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: (1) The existence of an article on English-speaking Quebecers, with numerous cites, demonstrates that this is a notable topic. A list of English-speaking Quebecers is consistent with that article. (2) "Anglophone" means "English-speaking". See the Google search of dictionaries for "Anglophone". Changing the list to "Anglophone Quebecers" does not add anything. (3) "Anglophone Quebecer" is not an ethnic category, but a linguistic one. Immigrants from non-English speaking countries can be English-speaking Quebecers. (4) The English-speaking linguistic minority in Quebec has constitutional recognition. Section 133 of the Constitution Act, 1867 gives them the right to speak English in the courts and the legislature, regardless of their ability to speak French. Members of the English-speaking linguistic minority in Quebec also have educational rights, to have their children educated in English, at public expense, under s. 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. As a constitutionally recognised linguistic minority, they are a notable feature of Canada's political and cultural arrangements. (5) Since this is a linguistic characteristic, not an ethnic one, it doesn't matter if someone was born outside Quebec, like the Bronfman example. If an English-speaking Canadian moves to Quebec from another province, they become an English-speaking Quebecer. As well, if an English-speaking person leaves Quebec permanently, they are no longer an English-speaking Quebecer, since it's not an ethnicity. It's based on residence. (6) There will always be edge cases, such as the Trudeaus. The existence of a difficult-to-classify example doesn't mean the concept should be thrown out. (7) For someone like Abbott, my rule of thumb when I'm doing biography articles is that if a person was living in Quebec after it came into existence in 1867, they are a Quebecer. Again, the existence of a difficult case doesn't negate the concept entirely. (8) There is a List of Franco-Ontarians, a linguistic minority living in Ontario. It makes sense to have a similar list of the English-speaking minority in Quebec. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 17:59, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Was typing up a longer response but Serjeant Buzfuz beat me to it. But the short version is that "English-speaking Quebecer" is a linguistic community, which is why the rules of inclusion are fuzzy, but it is nonetheless a notable group of people (which is why there is a parent article on it already). Perhaps the list could do with some clean-up (I haven't looked closely), but AfD isn't the place for that. — Kawnhr (talk) 18:08, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, one option would be to put clearer requirements into the list description; perhaps a statement that the list only includes residents of Quebec for whom English is the first language learnt and still understood, which is one of the definitions of a rights-holder under s. 23 of the Charter. Could also put in a requirement that it only includes English-speaking Quebecers who were active post 1867. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:01, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On reflection, that test of "1st learnt and still understood" may be too strict, as it wouldn't include individuals who have a different mother tongue, but use English as their primary language in Quebec. Some immigrants, for example, may have a different mother tongue but use English primarily. Perhaps a requirement that "English is the primary language used by the individual"? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 15:10, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And, thinking about it more after my reply just now to @Kazamzam: perhaps a third requirement: that they are notable for their careers in Quebec. That eliminates people like Justice Binnie, who were born in Quebec, but are notable for their career in another province (in his case Ontario). Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 16:05, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Similarly, looking at the "B" section, in addition to Binnie, I would delete Saul Bellow. Born in Quebec, but moved to the US at age 9, and is notable for his literary career in the US. Those are just a couple of examples. If we were to put clear criteria on the list, there would have to be a clean-up crew. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 16:40, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Still cruising the "B" section, I would keep Scotty Bowman. By the nature of his job, he's moved around North America a lot, and now lives in Florida, but his claim to notability as an English-speaking Quebecer is that he coached the Habs to four Stanley Cups.

@Mr Serjeant Buzfuz - this is great stuff but there have been zero edits on the article or its talk page in the past 3 days at this point, and it is still unreferenced from October 2007 (this pains me physically). Without the changes you've proposed, we run back to the previous problem(s) of the list being too unspecific in the definitions of both its major terms and potentially falling afoul of WP:NLIST. Do you want to get this dialogue started on the talk page and we can close the AfD + make the necessary changes? Kazamzam (talk) 05:21, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've now gone through the list and deleted a lot of individuals who did not have any clear connection to Quebec other than birth and education, but career elsewhere. I've also listed several "edge" cases on the Talk page. I would appreciate any comments on the proposed criteria for inclusion, and the edge cases, which editors may have. I think with those deletions, and the proposed criteria for inclusion, the list meets the criteria to continue as a list. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 18:08, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- First off, it is inherently dangerous to try and re-establish notability for recent-but-pre-internet phenomena. It's easier to find good, online, academic resources about events in the 1780s than for 1980s. I agree that most of the sources for the article are primary, but not all. A 2009 journal article [64] discusses the scheme, as does a recent thesis [65] (though the latter is not a quality source). I think on balance, the article provides solid, verifiable info and enriches the encyclopaedia. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:16, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't regard a thesis as a reliable source. Can you find WP:THREE quality sources? LibStar (talk) 22:31, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot. However, that does not (in and of itself) require deletion of the article. I am not in this field and do not have access beyond publicly-posted works. If this were a new article, I might !vote to draftify, but it's a long-standing one about a subject rooted in a period about which secondary sources are thin on the ground. I just don't think deleting it improves the encyclopaedia since there are sources, both those already cited and the journal article I mention above.

Merge to Special Assistance Program (Australian education), or what can be salvaged. Second option would be to keep. Most of the article is unsourced, and there is almost certainly significant coverage in newspaper reports, but I expect most of them to not be scanned/publicly available due to copyright issues and it would be virtually impossible to integrate them unless an editor happens to live in Victoria and investigate it themselves. This is a particular issue for 60s-90s buildings and programs in Australia, as most of these newspaper reports enter public domain after 70 years [66]. As it reads right now, I also think there is a modest possibility of copyvio of offline sources, and I think it would be better to just merge the cited and/or verifiable material into what seems like the parent article of the topic. This is not withholding the possibility that in future this could change, but I think the topic would be have more encyclopedic value if merged into the parent article considering this is a program which only ran in Victoria, and the parent article is only 1076 words at time of writing so there is definitely room for the merge. Darcyisverycute (talk) 06:02, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note that I am not opposed to a keep in principle, as there is presumed coverage according to WP:GNG with the high likelihood of offline sources existing, I just think a merge would make the content more useful. Darcyisverycute (talk) 06:05, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aerial Acres, California

Disputed PROD. Non-notable location with little information found. Satellite image of coordinates does show a cluster of small buildings surrounded by desert, suggesting this may be a populated place; however, without any legal recognition, it fails WP:GEOLAND. All mentions found have been passing, confirming that this is a place, but without further information nothing can be said. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 03:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers.com brings up a 1977 legal notice mentioning To that portion of the unincorporated area generally known as Aerial Acres .... Another reference to it from 1985 as a development between Mojave and Rosemond. Several passing mentions to things being located there or occurring there refer to Aerial Acres, Edwards or Aerial Acres, North Edwards, suggesting that this development is a locale within or related to Edwards, California or North Edwards, California. The book Gem Trails of Southern California by one James R. Mitchell has this as a "small group of homes and trailers". I'm struggling to find any sort of significant history for this site; the indications I am seeing are of this location as an informal housing development.

Comment: there are 50-60 homes clumped together in some sort of old development. Aerial Acres is now a scruffy-looking place deep in the middle of nowhere. Our article says it's supposedly a "fly-in community" but I see no sign of airplanes or a runway when looking at Google Earth^[67] I don't want to hurt any residents' feelings but Aerial Acres is a bleak, unpromising place. Google Street View is even bleaker: desert, dust, dirt roads and occasional yard plantings. There's a high-power rocketry range on the edge of town.^[68] The only store is "The Mothership", a second-hand shop; the name makes sense since Aerial Acres looks like the sort of isolated place where alien abductions occur.
As for "keep" or "delete", recent AfD decisions for obscure California locations have been inconsistent. !voters have kept places with no historically mapped indication of habitation and deleted other places with 500 residents. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 05:43, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- They are only inconsistent when one applies totally wrongheaded and daft (given how the encyclopaedia would turn out if everyone applied them) standards like what your subjective opinion is of what the place looks like in Google Earth. If you keep doing it wrong, you're going to keep being the outlier that thinks that everyone else is being inconsistent, when it's actually simply you that's doing it wrong and being inconsistent with subjective measures, over and over and over. Hog Farm has the right approach: research, not subjective personal opinions of Google Earth images. Research would tell you, for starters, that the whole "fly-in" thing is a red herring added by Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs), and that the source that xe cited says no such thing. Uncle G (talk) 10:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Old topo maps give additional information; 32 US Geological Survey maps give time slices of this place's physical history over the last 108 years.
    I would argue that failure to consult these and current satellite imagery is, in fact, "totally wrongheaded and daft", especially when these resources are highly reliable and readily available.
    As for "my subjective opinion", when I count houses, I'd say that's hardly subjective.
    Note that I don't say "fly-in" community is a basis for notability -- in fact I used visual evidence and old maps to debunk the assertion.
    As for "keep" or "delete", I have not cast a !vote -- I've simply presented information.
    So, @Uncle G, aside from taking potshots at me, what's your take on this place? And why? What are your sources? --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 19:07, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - A.B., the basic problem is that you're trying to judge this stuff almost entirely off of maps, which just doesn't work. Try Martensdale, California - a notable former community in this county which does not show up on maps. Same with Dubuque, Arkansas, which I wrote awhile back and have struggled to find a map showing the community on it. Meanwhile, a large number of AFDs have held that routine HOA developments/subdivisions/housing tracts without any sort of formal recognition or significant coverage in reliable sources do not warrant a separate article, and those sort of things would appear on maps or when counting houses. Count of houses does not lead to notability - what leads to notability is the history and coverage of the area in RS. Review of maps is often helpful (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Intake, Inyo County, California where map review solved a rather odd situation) but we can't just judge notability based on maps or structure counts. It is rather arbitrary to try to judge notability by how much seeming was/is there from a map perspective, and is frankly a form of original research. Hog Farm _Talk 20:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      - Hog Farm, I don’t know if this place is notable or not. I do think maps, photography and satellite imagery should be part of the mix in evaluating these places. My instincts tell me this place is probably not notable but I want to see what other information turns up here. Looking at old maps, this place grew up with Edwards AFB - it may have been a failed development. There are multiple unbuilt, unused roads. We’ll see. —A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 21:20, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        No. Giving us your subjective opinion and then even worse asking us for our subjective opinions too, and not even checking whether "fly-in" is true by simply applying the verifiability policy and seeing that the source said no such thing and that Carlossuarez46 just added that conclusion taken from thin air (which I've seen done in many Carlossuarez46 substubs, alas) are utterly the wrong approach to content. Uncle G (talk) 05:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - And you're still getting it wrong. "My take" from looking at Google Earth or aerial photographs isn't how to construct an article. The only use of looking at maps is to tell us what to look for when the article doesn't even say, or when we know that Carlossuarez46 just pulled things out of a hat when dumping GNIS data, and sometimes to check that a source found is talking about the same place and not another place by the same name. Uncle G (talk) 05:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm with Hog Farm, except that a Rand McNally commercial atlas puts this under the umbrella of California City, California, and other things just give this as a prose list of minor residential places that are "rural and low-population density" in the Antelope Valley. Rand McNally says ("RMC Place") that this is simply an entry in the California Rivers and Mountains Conservancy database and points to California City ("incl. with California City (Inc. Place)") for details. I think that we should follow the Rand McNally lead and redirect to California City, California. Uncle G (talk) 10:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Uncle G, I’m confused. You criticized me above for using decades worth of USGS topo maps plus satellite imagery with strong language like ”totally wrongheaded and daft”. Now you’re using a Rand McNally atlas? What’s up with that? —A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 21:27, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Actually, I'm using its gazetteer, which has Rand McNally's description, in words, which I even quoted outright right in front of your nose there, not a subjective analysis of "scruffy-looking place deep in the middle of nowhere" or "I see no sign of airplanes or a runway". Do you really not understand the difference between your own subjective guesswork and consulting an authoritative source? Asking me for my subjective guesswork instead of what I read in a source shows that you are still utterly wrongheaded here. We don't do this. It's daft. Think about what would happen if everyone evaluated subjects this way.
    We don't know what the thing is. We know from long experience that Carlossuarez46 just made up things, perhaps helpfully intended (in the knowledge that "unincorporated community" is meaningless when you are saying it in hundreds of thousands of data-dump articles) but still outright made up from whole cloth. So the obvious approach is not to squint at photographs and guess and tell us how something is "bleak" and "scruffy", but to consult a gazetteer. They tell us what things on maps are.

~~Weak~~ Keep. I'm inclined to keep unless there's a better argument to fold it into something else. I'm not sure if this lies within the North Edwards, California CDP, but there are definitely references to "Aerial Acres" as its own community. There was a local newspaper, not online, called the Boron Enterprise, that i see a reference to being the only paper that cared about Aerial Acres and other local communities. Total aside, i must also give props to A.

Uncle G, so why is one Rand McNally gazetteer more reliable than decades worth of USGS maps? That's repeated aerial photogrammetry and goundtruthing by an American federal agency. Is all this not from "an authoritative source" as you put it?

Is it just because the United States Geological Survey presents data graphically and Rand McNally uses prose?

As I wrote previously: "I do think maps, photography and satellite imagery should be part of the mix in evaluating these places.". Each AfD is a puzzle to solve and we all bring different pieces.

And as for my language like "scruffy" which you still make such a big deal of, what Milowent already observed as "color commentary", I put that stuff in for fun. A sanctionable violation of some obscure WP:PG?

I continue to think this is just a very old subdivision.

I’m not finding much official guidance specifically about using maps as sources. There is WP:GOOGLEMAPS with which I agree. Nothing much from WP:RSN either, at least not for high quality maps (I’m using a mobile device so I may be missing something on WP:RSN).
WP:MAPCITE is very good however it is an essay. I think my usage of maps is in line with the essayist’s views on maps.
I will note that Google Earth images are reliable however all the labels they associate with the image are very unreliable and should never be used. Perhaps they use GNIS?

~~Redirect~~. Not notable. I am agnostic as to which target to use -- three reasonable possibilities have been presented (Edwards, California, North Edwards, California California City, California) and I'll support what others here decide.

Notability (geographic features)#Settlements and administrative regions says one of these can make a populated place notable:

"Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low."

This is not a legally recognized place.

"Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG. Examples may include subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods, etc. – any of which could be considered notable on a case-by-case basis, given non-trivial coverage by their name in multiple, independent reliable sources."

I'm not seeing anything that meets GNG. Not even alien abductions.

Its synthesis would will remain the latter unless WP:reliable sources could be found that extensively compare these associations. The top search results ([69][70]) are merely 4 paragraphs. Scholarly sources are unlikely to provide necessary comparison [71][72]. XxTechnicianxX (talk) 02:55, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is no clear merge target (why NA and not HOA, or other similar topics)? And even if there were, nothing here is sourced, so there's nothing to merge anyway.

Bahrain–Spain relations

Delete -- I can find no sources at all that would make this notable (fails GNG).

Delete: The only reliable sources mentioning the school seem to be ones covering the death of a student, Shreyas Hareesh. However, they aren't about the school, and just mention it in passing. That said, having a mascot section with just the word "Tiger" and not even a full stop is pretty funny. Cortador (talk) 10:31, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
