like the others in the Qanir series, still isn't notable. Being nominated for these festivals is misleading as anyone can submit content to them, it's virtually meaningless and there is an absence of meaningful coverage of the film. TAXIDICAE💰 15:27, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Searches of "Amelia Morris" and "Amelia Stanislas" did not come back with any clear examples of significant coverage.

- If she gained a lot of significant coverage for her role, like Sian Massey-Ellis for example, then the article should be kept. I see no reason to keep the article purely on the basis of being a female assistant referee in a male-dominated role.

Pure speculation (WP:CRYSTAL) that has only been raised by few individuals. The long quotes in the article seem to be about the extent of the use. Vietnamese Wikipedia has an article created by the same user; a search of the title there ("Trận Điện Biên Phủ trên biển") reveals little more than what the article gives. — Goszei (talk) 22:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

- Delete per Wikipedia:Neologism. It's not good enough to demonstrate use of a neologism;
To support an article about a particular term or concept, we must cite what reliable secondary sources say about the term or concept, not just sources that use the term
Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:18, 25 April 2021 (UTC) - Delete - I don't think CRYSTAL is exactly the right thing to cite here. Strategic military hypotheticals that are given enough scholarly attention and pass GNG warrant an article. Most of these involve actual planning and preparations that simply never came to fruition eg Operation Unthinkable. This does not meet GNG. -Indy beetle (talk) 10:57, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

The subject does not satisfy general notability. His claim to fame is as a space tourist on a future space expedition, but see Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and other policies. There has been substantial independent coverage of the planned mission, but all of the coverage at this point is crystal balling.

- Keep — An astronaut is notable once he has been selected for a space mission and in this precise case he is less than six months away from flight. Preparation for the flight and training of the crew is under way. His flight is indeed the next one to take off from the US. Hektor (talk) 22:42, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep GNG is met. WP:CRYSTAL does not apply, because the coverage is of the selection, rather than the actual flight. (Besides, the entire premise of that page is WP:V violations, which this clearly is not) He's been selected. NPR and NYT have covered it. Posting some fancy graph doesn't change any of that. Jclemens (talk) 04:29, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

I understand this is a perennial nomination, but I am having an incredibly hard time finding significant, independent, reliable sources that would signify notability for this article. I recommend restoring the redirect to Wikipedia:Citation needed.
On the sourcing:
- First source I will need to AGF.
- Second source is an about me page and does not meet criteria for inclusion.
- Third source is a blog hosted on boston.com, but not written or reviewed by the site.
- Fourth source is a YouTube source, and does not meet the standards for YouTube sources.
- Fifth source is only a passing mention of the phrase "Citation needed".
- Sixth source appears to be a self-published-source.
While AGF, only 1 source in the article could be argued for notability. A courtesy google search gave me this WMF source. JackFromReedsburg (talk | contribs) 13:47, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

- The paper by Anderka et al. is not a passing mention, they are actually studying the use of the citation needed template. Tercer (talk) 15:21, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- No, it's studying cleanup tags in general on Wikipedia. Also, Wikipedia Academy sources are neither reliable nor independent so far as I can tell. Eddie891 Talk Work 15:22, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- And, in particular, citation needed. They present data about it, and mention it in the text:
The first inline tags were Dubious and Citation_needed, which have been created in July 2004 and June 2005 respectively.
andThe most common cleanup tag is Citation_needed, it has been used nearly 2 million times in the 2 268 days after its creation, which corresponds to an average ratio of 871.64 usages per day. This means that on average one in 200 revisions has been tagged with this cleanup tag.
They are not just name-checking it. Tercer (talk) 15:35, 16 April 2021 (UTC)- That isn't exactly significant coverage. Nobody is arguing that the template hasn't been mentioned anywhere. And even if it was sigcov, it doesn't make it independent coverage. You don't just get to pick and choose which of significant, reliable, and independent a source is, it must be all three.

- merge to somewhere, perhaps Reliability of Wikipedia. In-depth coverage is rather lacking, despite a lot of passing mentions. Eddie891 Talk Work 15:26, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- I do think that the article's content should be merged into an article relating to wikipedia in popular culture or so. (Reliability of Wikipedia seems like an alright article to merge into) However, the redirect to Wikipedia:Citation needed should be restored. JackFromReedsburg (talk | contribs) 16:34, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I do agree that the coverage is rather limited, and initially I did consider supporting deletion, however the phrase has evidently been much referenced and used in popular culture, and some of the sources mentioned do at least suggest that the tag is well known or at least considered infamous. Should that not be enough? Anonymous 7481 (talk) 16:15, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Please read WP:GNG. It stipulates that such phrases must have significant independent coverage by reliable sources. 100 passing mentions do not equal significant coverage. Being known "in popular culture" is not a criteria for notability. JackFromReedsburg (talk | contribs) 16:28, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- To clarify my opinion: I believe this should either be outright deleted or just simply merged per Eddie891. I am not seeing reliable coverage here, so it doesn't deserve its own article. JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 19:39, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - no real significant coverage, passing mention of the phrase in multiple places but not enough focused coverage to pass GNG. If a redirect was made afterwards, I would think article space Reliability of Wikipedia would be better than WP:CN. WikiVirusC(talk) 20:26, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 22:15, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- I'd like to applaud everyone for doing a far better job of AFD discussion than Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Talk page was back in 2008. We all at least looked to see what sources were available and how policy actually applies. I'm sure that several of the people in that discussion didn't even look at the article that they were discussing.
On that note, and following the observation by Eddie891, I point out that we do have books and articles on this, one with an entire chapter on Wikipedia Cleanup processes, and the others discussing {{fact}}, other related tags, and cleanup in general at several points. So yes if we want more than XKCD there is a real umbrella subject to write about, that this can be renamed and refactored into.

- Keep Apart from all the specific sources catalogued above, note that Wikipedia did not invent this concept. Churchill wrote, I am reminded of the professor who, in his declining hours was asked by his devoted pupils for his final counsel. He replied, "Verify your quotations." Churchill didn't actually provide a source so I tracked down the original and found that this was probably Dr Routh. Anyway, the worst case here is obviously merger to citation so why are we having yet another deletion debate? Andrew🐉(talk) 08:44, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- The article isn't about the concept in general though. It is about the citation needed tag specifically in regards to Wikipedia. A lot of people have mentioned merge, but a rename and expansion to Wikipedia Cleanup in general based on the sources posted by Uncle G could also work. WikiVirusC(talk) 13:59, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. The tag has become a permanent fixture on the Western cultural landscape. It's a cultural icon and as such doesn't need a treatise in several volumes dedicated to it for its significance to become apparent. As for sources, quite a few have been brought up above, and even a cursory search will come up with more (on Google Scholar there are about half a dozen papers on the first two pages that are about Wikipedia and have "citation needed" in their title). – Uanfala (talk) 20:01, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Notability is not inherited, so he's not simply notable because of his notable father. He's also not notable as a footballer, as he's never played in a competitive, senior match for a fully professional club.

- Redirect to Phil Neville#Personal life, where his embryonic career is mentioned; he's a plausible search term. The sources currently in the article don't constitute anything like a GNG pass: their content is basically son of well-known football figure joins academy, son of well-known football figure signs pro forms, Ireland pick U19 team including son of well-known football figure. The Guardian and one of the BBC pieces are puffed out with the same lengthy quotes from justifiably proud daddy, and all have more about the notable family members than about Harvey.

Finding RSs for food is a certain kind of suffering (there are food blogs I'd trust with my life, but never use on WP. Others don't seem to share my hesitation).

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Non-notable assistant referee. Despite having 33 references in the article, there is no evidence that Beecham meets WP:GNG at all. The creator is an WP:SPA with a probable WP:COI as, in there many years of editing, they have only edited this one article.
Clearly a lot of effort has gone in to this exhaustive list of matches that Beecham has assisted in refereeing, including a list of youth matches and friendlies. Each of the references, the ones that are accessible via archive anyway, are only passing mentions. A search centred on Australian searches yields no useful results nor do Google searches. Mentions are always brief such as News.com.au, SMH and A League. Beecham is never mentioned in detail; just a passing mention, then quickly onto the next person.
Referees do not inherit notability from the matches that they are involved in. They must meet GNG in their own right. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 21:05, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

No reliable sources cited in the article and Google Books has just the one passing mention of him. A search of Indonesian sources comes up with a passing mention in These Football Times and another in Weszlo. Even his World Referee profile page has barely anything about him.

Was originally nominated as part of a bundle nomination of equally non-significantly-covered animated soundtrack albums, but commenters ignorant about the coverage of the topics tried to convince me they were somehow individually notable. The commenters used lousy reasoning, or WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, in trying to suggest certain topics in that nomination had individual notability. One suggested a couple of albums were by notable artists, which didn't make them notable as Notability is not inherited. Another agued "some of these articles are getting 100+ views/day", which is an invalid WP:POPULARPAGE argument. Another agued "Deleting the articles in question would delete the not insignificant article histories and revisions that could serve as rough drafts for future versions of these pages if they hold up to notability standards at a later date", which is invalid as most of these soundtracks never do and even so, we are not a WP:CRYSTALBALL.
While Spongebob is generally the better ones in the notability department with its soundtrack releases, I can't say this EP meets WP:SIGCOV, as there's only an Allmusic review to find. I was also considering nominating The Yellow Album for deletion, but I've been a bit more skeptical about doing that as at least there I could also find a Sputnikmusic staff review and a book about the Beatles briefly discussing the album, and its title and cover art is a parody of the White Album. 👨x🐱 (talk) 19:04, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep: I found sigcov from AV Club regarding a vinyl reissue and from Altpress twice over (1, 2), though the latter could be argued to be more representative of a single song than the album. The Allmusic review is their more reliable sort. I still wasn't quite happy with all this, and I suspected there were print magazine sources missing from my analysis. I headed to newspapers.com not expecting much and was somewhat surprised to indeed find sigcov from the Iowa City Press-Citizen (13 June 2002, page 36) and Reno Gazette-Journal (14 August 2001, page 26). The combination of googleable and paywalled sigcov leaves me confident of a GNG pass, if narrowly. Vaticidalprophet 14:07, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- OK, that's... better, although the Altpress sources are announcements, and the A.V. Club, although released a decade later after the album, is an announcement as well. I'll have to find out if the newspapers.com sources are sigcov. 👨x🐱 (talk) 16:16, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - There are some issues with the copy/pasted reasoning in the rush of 21 different AfDs for cartoon soundtracks by this nominator. In short, blanket reasoning for an attempted bundled AfD has been applied to every individual album therein.

I do not think this article about a photographer meets WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. It has been tagged for notability since 2009. There is a link to an Associated Press article which does look like decent coverage and has three paragraphs about Loomis. There is a link to an archived article about an exhibition, which looks as if it could be a press release. There is a quote from a review of her book which I think may be the puff from the book cover (reference just says Review of Portraits of Pregnancy by Ricki Lake and Abby Epsiten, authors of Your Best Birth).

- Keep and Tacyarg this is why WP:BEFORE is a very good idea. I looked at how the article was before you nominated it for deletion, and yeah, it was pretty marginal. It's now not remotely marginal, not going to be deleted, and your nomination statement is so at odds with the current state of the article that it's painful to see the disconnect now, EVEN THOUGH when you nominated it this article was indeed a pretty "meh" BLP. I suggest you withdraw the nomination, because the added sources demonstrate that indeed, Ms. Loomis is exactly the sort of artist who should be profiled in Wikipedia.

A very similar case to Büşra Demirörs and Sude Mihri Çınar. No inherent notability from career to date so we need to look at WP:GNG.
Current references do not show any WP:SIGCOV and the article is currently a synthesis of stats from the Turkish Football Federation. Google searches and a Turkish source search come back with a passing mention in an under 19 report, a squad list mention, one sentence about her scoring 13 goals in a regional league and one quote from her in Aksam. None of the sources found address Taşkın in depth. There does not appear to be anything that we can build a biography from. Wikipedia is not a TFF mirror.

- Redirect - to The Looney Tunes Show. As opposed to the merge suggestions above, I don't think there is much worth merging because this album article is little more than a list of songs that have received no independent coverage on their own or as a group in soundtrack form. It is possible that the album title could be a search term, in which case the searcher can be sent to the show's article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:47, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Was originally nominated as part of a bundle nomination of equally non-significantly-covered animated soundtrack albums, but commenters ignorant about the coverage of the topics tried to convince me they were somehow individually notable. The commenters used lousy reasoning, or WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, in trying to suggest certain topics in that nomination had individual notability. One suggested a couple of albums were by notable artists, which didn't make them notable as Notability is not inherited. Another agued "some of these articles are getting 100+ views/day", which is an invalid WP:POPULARPAGE argument. Another agued "Deleting the articles in question would delete the not insignificant article histories and revisions that could serve as rough drafts for future versions of these pages if they hold up to notability standards at a later date", which is invalid as most of these soundtracks never do and even so, we are not a WP:CRYSTALBALL.
I'll individually nominate the other animation soundtrack articles, but I'm nominating all four records of the "Samurai Champloo Music Record" series for deletion because (1) There all of the same series (2) It is only four articles, people, and (3) they are all non notable. You will not find one bit of WP:SIGCOV for these albums anywhere... None! I dare you to find it. If you do, I will award you with money for a vacation to the Bahamas followed by several tickets to Chuck E. Cheeses. Please someone find coverage for these.... because I can't. At least the other animation soundtracks in that bundle animation had an Allmusic or Common Sense Media review, which doesn't itself establish WP:GNG, but I'm bringing it up to show how not notable this topic. 👨x🐱 (talk) 17:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

!voteI created a couple of these articles I'm not completely sure about where to fall on this in terms of Wikipedia guidelines. But I can at least provide some context and sources. In terms of significant coverage of the Samurai Champloo soundtrack: here are some magazine articles from Pitchfork[1] (listed as one of 9 of "rap's most memorable animated moments") and 34th Street[2] (an album review). I believe this qualifies as WP:SIGCOV. There are also interviews[3] and a book[4] that discuss the soundtrack further in depth. The difficulty of finding more sources can be explained by two reasons. First, this music has become popular in the Lo-fi hip hop community recently, but was not popular at the time the anime was released, and thus did not receive contemporary reviews. Second, many articles about the albums and its creators are in Japanese. For instance, see this magazine interview [3] of director Shinichiro Watanabe where they discuss the Samurai Champloo soundtrack. Given there is in fact a bare minimum of significant coverage despite these factors, I would lean towards keeping this content around somewhere, perhaps refactored in some way eg. to a single page.

- Merge to Samurai Champloo. The show's article is repetitive and unorganized on the topic of the music. There is a Soundtrack section, but then the same matters are covered in more detail a little later in the Other media section. Cleanup needs to be done over there. With that out of the way, this particular soundtrack got some minor notice due to Fat Jon's involvement, but introductory coverage at the show's article (whichever sub-section applies) is sufficient. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:53, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

The result was merge to Rock-a-Doodle#Soundtrack. Ultimately I found the merge arguments to be more convincing than the straight keeps; namely, that the soundtrack reviews tended to also contain coverage of the film, and the coverage in the film reviews is effectively secondary to that of the film. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:38, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

- Merge to Rock-a-Doodle#Soundtrack. Much of the information here already appears in the Soundtrack section of the article about the film. This soundtrack appears to have received little coverage on its own (I have found no full reviews, nor any indication that it hit any music charts), so covering it in the film's article should be sufficient. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:46, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, does one not think that an established artist like Glen Campbell didn't have coverage when the album was originally released?

- Keep, although it's a weak lean to that. Full-length review dedicated solely to the soundtrack in Citizen's Voice (30 June 1992, page 23), mixed film/soundtrack review in LA Weekly (18 June 1992, page 78). It's an interesting one to search, as the soundtrack is such a part of the film that the film's reviews discuss it a lot, in a way on the border of sigcov. Considering that significant reviews of the soundtrack alone exist, I'm inclined to lean weakly towards the combination of them with borderline sigcov elsewhere makes for a GNG pass. Vaticidalprophet 15:30, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep - The soundtrack album received some reliable reviews as found by the other "keep" voters above.

This has also been done to redirect legitimate traffic to ad-stuffed garbage pages or affiliate links or otherwise serving a monetary purpose other than phishing. Other times it could be to troll or manipulate a website or its users. To be clear, a merge/redirect may make sense here.

enormous amount of red links, not a notable attendance event whatsoever — dylx (talk) (contribs) 15:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: The event per se is notable. That Macedonia competed is notable, though I would wish for better referencing. The quantity of red links ought not to be a deletion rationale for an inherently notable attendance at an inherently notable event (no, I am not claiming inherited notability). The article needs attention, that is without argument, and the athletes concerned ought to have articles where they pass our threshold. Fiddle Faddle 16:43, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Timtrent: Fair points, you've convinced me. I looked at a similar article (Japan at the 2013 Summer Universiade) and noticed that the Macedonia page was lacking a lot of information which the Japan page had. Could the Macedonia page be merged into a page with more information? — dylx (talk) (contribs) 18:42, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Dylxpedia I think that custom and practice is for the attending nations to have an article per attendance, even if they did not emerge clothed in glory. For me this holds true even if the article is as naked as this one. Are you considering withdrawing your nomination? Fiddle Faddle 18:46, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Timtrent: Actually, I've changed my mind again. See 2013 Summer Universiade#Participants. Many of the participants (many of which have more athletes and won more medals than than Macedonia) do not have their own articles for this specific event.

Was originally nominated as part of a bundle nomination of equally non-significantly-covered animated soundtrack albums, but commenters ignorant about the coverage of the topics tried to convince me they were somehow individually notable. The commenters used lousy reasoning, or WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, in trying to suggest certain topics in that nomination had individual notability. One suggested a couple of albums were by notable artists, which didn't make them notable as Notability is not inherited. Another agued "some of these articles are getting 100+ views/day", which is an invalid WP:POPULARPAGE argument. Another agued "Deleting the articles in question would delete the not insignificant article histories and revisions that could serve as rough drafts for future versions of these pages if they hold up to notability standards at a later date", which is invalid as most of these soundtracks never do and even so, we are not a WP:CRYSTALBALL.

Was originally nominated as part of a bundle nomination of equally non-significantly-covered animated soundtrack albums, but commenters ignorant about the coverage of the topics tried to convince me they were somehow individually notable. The commenters used lousy reasoning, or WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, in trying to suggest certain topics in that nomination had individual notability. One suggested a couple of albums were by notable artists, which didn't make them notable as Notability is not inherited. Another agued "some of these articles are getting 100+ views/day", which is an invalid WP:POPULARPAGE argument. Another agued "Deleting the articles in question would delete the not insignificant article histories and revisions that could serve as rough drafts for future versions of these pages if they hold up to notability standards at a later date", which is invalid as most of these soundtracks never do and even so, we are not a WP:CRYSTALBALL.
For this nomination, all there is is WP:ONEVENT press release announcements and one Common Sense Media review. That's not enough to establish WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Wired cite is not about soundtrack album but about the special itself. 👨x🐱 (talk) 14:39, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

- Delete Her roles in tv-series are not significant. Sources 1 to 4 in the article are regular "Who is X" kind of publications which are made for almost every slightly-known person, not WP:SIGCOV. Others don't count towards WP:GNG as source 5 is a namedrop, source 6 is about what she said and source 7 is about her going on vacation. I found one interview here, but that also doesn't count towards GNG. The search Duygu Sarışın -kimdir -ulusoy (to exclude sources about her relationship with Çağatay Ulusoy) doesn't result in any further coverage. ~Styyx Talk? ^-^ 15:51, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment A similar discussion is going hand in hand with this one on the Turkish Wikipedia, so I'm curious to see if a user there can establish notability, though based on what I have seen so far she's probably not notable based on our criteria. Keivan.fTalk 02:42, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keivan.f Actually, similar comments has made on TurkishWiki so far. Lack of leading/important roles and sketchy coverage in news do not meet for the notability criterias.--Kemalcan (talk) 07:24, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, MBisanz talk 14:38, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete, sorry for the late reply, the article doesn't seem to be notable, as the actress don't have a lot of leading roles or recognition, maybe in the future if they have notable roles, it might be applicable and adequate to create article on the actress, furthermore the article on Turkish Wikipedia has been deleted, so it's better to delete from English Wikipedia too, and in the future there will be more reliable and adequate sources.

For this nomination, only thing to find is AllMusic rev and one chart. That's not enough to establish WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. 👨x🐱 (talk) 14:35, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep and improve. This is an unusual case, since the animated series Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is basically an adaptation of the real-life band Puffy AmiYumi, and this album is basically a band album disguised as a soundtrack album. Puffy AmiYumi was fairly big in Japan, and one of the few Japanese pop groups to become known in other parts of the world, and any album they produce will have sources if properly searched. This may require searching Japanese media, but this is not going to end up being non-notable. BD2412 T 17:09, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- I'll give the benefit of the doubt and suggest this is the result of the difficulty of finding Japanese sources if you're in the Western world, especially if your in North America. I live in the United States, so I can state that. But we need evidence in this discussion to indicate this is notable beyond an Allmusic rev and one Japan chart. 👨x🐱 (talk) 17:24, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Tell me, Sir Joseph; would you have called such an article for "not noteworthy"? I think such an article would have been, say a 20-100 K article, possibly a WP:FA, too, by now.

- Keep - Double digit death toll is a huge deal. If (very big if) the articles quality and information was to improve a decent amount, this could be an ITN nominations just due to the death toll. Elijahandskip (talk) 14:13, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Elijahandskip Please read our Policy Wikipedia:NOTNEWS. CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:55, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- @CommanderWaterford:, I am very aware of that policy. For the last year, I have been a major participant in Wikipedia:WikiProject Current events as well as being the editor who revived the WikiProject last year. Articles like 2021 Guangzhou bombing only had 5 deaths and very little information, but highly qualified for an article and was mentioned on the Portal:Current events. I would actually ask you to read your own advice and read what Wikipedia is and is not. A general rule of thumb that I have learned & adapted during the last year is 4 deaths is about what it takes for an article. Less than 4 deaths depends on the situation, injuries, and stuff. Like if a politician is killed, but only 3 deaths happen (referring to Killing of Luca Attanasio), that still received an article due to the situation. For this article, double digit deaths instantly qualify for an article. Hopefully that helps. Elijahandskip (talk) 18:06, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Elijahandskip First of all I ask you kindly to watch your tone. Secondly you still did not explain in which policy do we mention that at least any press release with more than 4 deaths is automatically establishing notability. CommanderWaterford (talk) 18:15, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- There isn’t an “official” policy. I was trying to say there is an “unofficial” policy used among editors. The fact that Wikipedia allows articles with 3-5 deaths, I cannot see how a 13 death event would not be notable. Just saying. Elijahandskip (talk) 18:17, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep notable event making headlines internationally. Depressed Desi (talk) 16:59, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Depressed Desi Please read our Content Policy Wikipedia:NOTNEWS CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:55, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. It simply doesn't meet either the event or coverage requirements set out at WP:EVENT. This is good example of the type of event that WP:NOTNEWS warns against.
- There is no death-count exception for non-notable events to be include in Wikipedia. At most, that's an argument that it should have been more widely reported and commented on, which would make it notable; but it's not a substitute for notability. (And the ""double-digit" characterization seems calculated to imply a much larger number anyway; 13 is barely into the two-digit range.)
- I could imagine that the fire may become notable in the future (for example, if there are regulatory changes as a result of it; or it it becomes widely covered by third-party sources other than as simple news reporting); but that's not the case today, and may never be. TJRC (talk) 18:42, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I don't see how this is not notable. Deaths can make things notable, but not always. Socola hospital fire had 1 death and 0 injured. Sultanah Aminah Hospital had 6 killed and 4 injured. Gaziantep hospital fire had 9 killed. When I can easily find 3 articles about hospital fires that have less deaths than this one, no one can tell me this isn't notable. Just saying... Elijahandskip (talk) 21:44, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Deaths don't inherently make events notable as Wikipedia uses that term. Deaths may make something worth covering in third-party sources; and it is that coverage that may make the event notable for purposes of Wikipedia. But the notability is a reflection of the coverage, not of the number of deaths.
- Without expressing any opinion on the notability or non-notability of the other fires you point to... the fact that this fire has more deaths than those fires is a completely immaterial fact to determining inclusion. There is no death-count criterion for inclusion; inclusion based on notability. To say that these other notable fires have fewer deaths, so this fire must be notable based solely on the larger death-count is a non sequitur, because death-count is not and never has been an inclusion criterion. (Also: WP:WAX.)
- The most charitable way to characterize this argument is that you're saying that, with so many deaths, one would expect it to get substantial non-news coverage, thereby making it notable; or that, in a just world, it would get get substantial non-news coverage, thereby making it notable. But those aren't the criteria. We reflect what actually does get substantial non-news coverage. TJRC (talk) 00:20, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: While I dont have anything to say with the ongoing dispute here with the number of deaths, Im with the opinion that this is definetely a notable event. As per WP:EVENTCRITERIA, Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards. This has been covered by several reputed national and international medias in depth. And I also believe this is not just a routine news coverage about an accident as it has caught the attention of entire nation. This was even the prime-time debate topic in some reputed new channels in my state of Kerala. Kichu🐘 Need any help? 01:16, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- I am really surprised about reading this, @Kashmorwiki - so you are really of the opinion that this hospital fire is of "lasting, historical significance, and the scope of reporting (national or global reporting is preferred)" (cited by the Policy you mentioned) CommanderWaterford (talk) 23:09, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- CommanderWaterford, I actually didnt meant the full sentence in this guideline. I just wanted to show a part of it here it here so that I copy pasted. Apologies if that was a mistake and made you confused. Actually I just wanted to show that this accident and has been covered widely in several parts of my country by giving that much significance. I am not sure whether this would have as much lasting significance when compared to some other accidents. But you might not be having some idea about whats actually going on in my country now. While my state does not have that much problem, patients from these states like Maharashtra are dying without getting any sufficient oxygen. Along with that, when a tragedy like this happens, how can I say this does not have any significance. Some reports are also coming out like this [10] which says that hospital took almost half an hour to call fire brigade. Several medias including some international ones have already criticised governtments for this accident. While some politicians says this is not a national news due to their political motives, I believe this has that much significance and does not comes under WP:NOTNEWS. Thats why I voted as Keep.

- @Kashmorwiki I am really concerned - I am having a very good idea of India miss-management of Covid in the last weeks, of course it is a tragedy but every tragedy which occurs in the world does not have sufficient notability for an article at Wikipedia - please think again if this is a single event which is LASTING and HISTORICAL. This is clearly not the case here. CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:19, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

- Does anyone really believe that an article about a verifiable hospital fire with this number of deaths would not be kept, regardless of any sourcing beyond verifiability, if the fire happened in the UK or in the US? Of course it would be kept, and by WP:SNOW, so what is it about this one that says otherwise? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:10, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Phil Bridger This is an quite interesting argument - are you trying to say that the article would not have been nominated by me if it would be an American hospital? I have to disappoint you, i would have nominated it as well and I am somewhat confused about editors who think that Wikipedia should be used as a newspaper, for which reason do exactly we have the WP:NOTNEWS Policy ?. CommanderWaterford (talk) 23:05, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- This is well beyond a mere news story. Had this happened in the Western world, the article would be multiple times as long & a discussion such as this would have been quickly closed with a consensus to keep. Jim Michael (talk) 02:44, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- CommanderWaterford, also have a look at this second criteria in the notability guideline; Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards. I am pretty sure this accident satisfies this as this were widely covered nationwide in diverse sources with that much significance. Regards. Kichu🐘 Need any help? 00:26, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, it meets those criteria. Nowhere in the world are hospital fires with double-digit death tolls a common, ordinary or trivial occurrence. Jim Michael (talk) 02:44, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- CommanderWaterford, I have no doubt that you would personally be even-handed and nominate such an article about an American hospital. I do not however, think that the outcome would be the same. I agree that WP:NOTNEWS should be followed, but some time ago there was a discussion about that policy, in which I argued that it should be followed in such cases, but the outcome was that most editors thought that news sources should be accepted. That is the consensus, much as I don't agree with it, so it should apply to the whole world equally. I'm afraid that I can't link to the discussion without spending more time than I have available now to look for it.

Fails WP:GNG. Article reads in a very promotional manner, even kindly providing a link to official New York City crime statistics. References are all dead links or primary sources from the New York City government.
The article details a division of the New York City Police Department that is a direct successor to the slightly-more-notable-yet-still-lacks-proper-page-references New York City Housing Authority Police Department, which is also pretty unprofessionally written and is probably also going to be on AfD some time soon. The division isn't really that much anyways; they're literally just the Patrol Services Bureau, albeit assigned to housing projects. There isn't a lot of news about it either; all I can find are crimes they investigated, officers from the bureau who got into trouble, or things that just refer to the Patrol Services Bureau and Transit Bureau.

Largely uncited pop culture trivia - the article doesn't explain how Colorado Springs has impacted pop culture, and just consists of a list of trivial mentions of it. Waxworker (talk) 11:40, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Discussion of the topic belongs in the Colorado Springs main article, unless a WP:SIZESPLIT warrants splitting it off. However this isn’t discussion of Colorado Springs in popular culture at all, it probably ought to be named List of mentions and depictions of Colorado Springs in media, which is no basis for an article at all. --Pontificalibus 12:22, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

The song doesn't pass WP:NSongs. The only independent coverage of the article comes from the lawsuit and those sources, HipHopDX, AllHipHop, despite being reliable doesn't address the song at all regarding its composition, lyrics, or the reception all of that comes from album reviews and the background info from an interest third party. Charting does not indicate that a song is notable. That information regarding the lawsuit could be merged into the parent album/Pop Smoke's article.

Who has time for this stupid shit? WP:SNOW close nomination due to chart performance (which MarioSouldTruthFan is still trying his darndest to not acknowledge the significance of) and the overwhelming amount of coverage of the lawsuit gives it independent notability. The sources about the lawsuit don't have to talk about the composition. They are talking about the song within the lawsuit and other sources are talking about the composition. Look at how much there is to talk about that lawsuit. Merging it into the album article would make it WP:TOOBIG.👨x🐱 (talk) 22:01, 23 April 2021 (UTC)- Comment This isn't a vote! and I've struck it per WP:IGNORE. @HumanxAnthro:, knock off the personal attacks against the nominator, now.

- Keep needs cleanup, not removal. A list of notable works where a primary character is an actuary is a reasonable list. Listing every TV episode where a character has a throw-away line regarding an actuary is not reasonable. Deleting does not help us towards the former.

- Comment This WP:AfD reminds me quite a bit of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eco-terrorism in fiction, where the outcome was converting a list article that looked like this into a prose article that looked like this. Listing every time concept X appears in a work of fiction is something TV Tropes does; we should strive to write something about concept X in fiction, not just enumerate examples. This applies outside of fiction too, of course—it is the difference between writing the article Climate of London and creating the article list of rainy days in London. I don't know that the link Andrew Davidson provided is all that helpful to us (
So here are five times actuaries have been portrayed on the big screen, blogs Charlotte Forsyth.
), but there are other sources discussing actuaries in fiction as a group.[12][13][14] As a sidenote, I think that a few of the broken links in the reference list on the article are articles by Daniel Skwire, who has written several articles about specific instances of actuarial issues in fiction. I would be in favour of converting this list article to a prose article as was done with Eco-terrorism in fiction, although unlike in that case it we would obviously need to change the title as well here to not be called "list of [...]". TompaDompa (talk) 00:28, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per Andrew Davidson and 力. In my own words: As far as I understand a list is justified on Wikipedia either as a sensible grouping of topics that are treated somewhere on Wikipedia (or have secondary sources), or because the topic, in this case fictional actuaries, itself is notable. I feel the nomination does not make clear on both points why this should not be the case here. I think that "I feel it isn't encyclopedic" does not carry any weight as long as it is not supported by more arguments. Sure, this list can be improved, e.g. by citations (though by its nature, the entries themselves already give primary sourcing), but that is not a reason for deletion.
- For the first point, "fictional actuaries" is clearly delineated, and as there are many blue links in the list, it is something that does appear on Wikipedia and is therefore not trivial.
- For the second, the fact that eight such lists were nominated within minutes makes it highly doubtful that the nominator did a proper WP:BEFORE search, which is part of the normal AfD process. As found by above, the topic itself seems to be notable, and the list should be kept on that grounds also.
- As for changing this from a list into an article, I have no particular aversion against that, but in my opinion the list itself also has its uses. In think the comparison between Climate of London and list of rainy days in London is not quite accurate, because if properly used this list is not indicriminate. We don't have entries about single rainy days in London because they are not noteable. We do have e.g. a List of European windstorms, because many of them (and the topic itself) are notable.

- Keep "Individually non-notable elements of a fictional work (such as characters and episodes) may be grouped into an appropriate list article." (from guidelines. A List of Dilbert characters is cited in the guidelines as the kind of list that is acceptable (because the individual entries are not notable but the total is acceptable). Fictional anthropologists come up in more than just pop culture, making them more meaningful than a comic series. The entries are either linked to Wikipedia articles or references are given to their sources (books, films, television shows). The list is not indiscriminate: the entries are ones that are of the type named in the list title. Kdammers (talk) 03:14, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep per Andrew's note about WP:LISTN, with another example that covers fictional anthropologists: "On Forensic Anthropologists in Fact and Fiction." Additionally, "unencyclopedic" in the nomination is especially vague when even-further qualified as merely the nominator's "feel[ing]" regarding this list. I do agree with TompaDompa that a prose article is preferable, but don't think this is absolutely necessary for its continued existence. --Pinchme123 (talk) 02:55, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - Unless some sources discussing the topic of "fictional actors" can be found, this is unnecessary. I know there's some guideline that says it's fine to double up on categories and lists, but it also says it's up to user discretion if we actually do it. This is a case where the category is fundamentally superior in every way. If this is kept, it definitely needs to be cut down to only characters that actually have articles to remove the junk. TTN (talk) 12:53, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:LISTPURP and WP:CLN as complement to Category:Fictional actors. No need for "cultural impact" to be demonstrated, and we are listing article subjects by what they are. Note the nom copy and pasted the same boilerplate into at least eight separate nominations, all made at the same time. In response to TTN, whether it only includes standalone articles or not is a matter of normal editing and discussion to resolve; regardless there are clearly plenty of articles to list. Even notwithstanding WP:NOTDUP, the list can be (and has been) annotated with what work(s) the character is featured in, time period, etc., so it is already demonstrating a function that the category cannot perform. We really need a compelling reason not to permit a list where we have a category ("discretion" without that turns into IDONTLIKEIT), and none have been presented. postdlf (talk) 16:07, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- The current list proves unmanageable and useless for navigation. Even with stricter standards and careful eyes on it, it'll always be a cesspit of people adding random "important" characters that do not have articles. Compared to the management of lists dealing with real people, they are infinitely easier to manage because it's simply a case of blue links and red links. That would be my criteria as to why it's unsuitable for a CLN list. I don't believe your proposed data points are particularly meaningful when it comes to the management of fictional characters that share a very narrow connection (which honestly only exists in the first place due to not wanting to mix reality and fiction, not that "fictional actors" are in any way actually separately important as a topic). TTN (talk) 17:53, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep The play within a play is a Shakespearean device in works such as Hamlet and A Midsummer Night's Dream and this naturally attract critical attention and consideration of the fictional actors such as Nick Bottom. And there are lots of famous movies in which Hollywood refers back to itself: Sunset Boulevard and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. See The Rise Of Self Referential Cinema for some cultural impact.

- Speedy Keep The nomination is a cookie-cutter driveby with no specifics. Its basis is the argument to avoid of WP:NOTENCYCLOPEDIC. And it utterly fails to address the fact that this has been at AfD before when the result was a clear keep. Per WP:DELAFD, "It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hope of getting a different outcome." Per Nurse Ratched, "The best thing we can do is go on with our daily routine." Andrew🐉(talk) 18:03, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- I nominated it for deletion because it's entirely unsourced and has entries I feel are trivial, and doesn't explain how the subject of fictional nurses is notable, which seem like specifics to me. The last AFD for this was in 2017, I don't think creating a discussion about an article that was previously nom'd four years ago is disruptive. The article strikes me as WP:LISTCRUFT, and I don't think that having a category for fictional nurses means there needs to be a list of fictional nurses. Waxworker (talk) 19:17, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- WP:LISTCRUFT is neither policy nor guideline – that's just like, your opinion, man. And, if we have a category then that's good evidence that a list is sensible too – see WP:CLN which does have official status. This clueless, cookie-cutter spasm is like the recent spree of Coin945 and the consensus seems to be that they are disruptive. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:39, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Nominating eight articles that you don't agree with is not nearly the same as 72 in a matter of three hours. I made the same points on several of the articles I've nominated, but I stand by my statements; I feel like you're ignoring my arguments by virtue of you not agreeing with them. I think you're out of line with accusations of disruptive behaviour and "clueless, cookie-cutter spasm" nominations, and I think it's best to discuss the nomination at hand. I would have opted for a batch deletion, but I felt that individual discussions would be more productive, especially as they're different subjects. Waxworker (talk) 22:47, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- These nominations were done at a rate of more than one a minute. And notice that the common courtesy of notifying the page's creator was not done. Tsk. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:53, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- I agree that nominating eight articles in a short span is better than 72, because discussing them is a lot of work but still somewhat manageable. The fact that the nominations have been done within minutes, however, suggests to me that no WP:BEFORE search has been done, and that's a step that should be done in the process. Nominating for deletion is easy, finding sources can be hard work. I don't think re-nomination after four years is disruptive. But I think pushing the work of WP:BEFORE on others, or not discussing why the consensus of the last discussion should no longer apply is not helpful for finding the best decision for Wikipedia.
- Also, the fact that there's a category is no reason not to have a list, too. Daranios (talk) 15:55, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

- WP:LISTCRUFT is neither policy nor guideline – that's just like, your opinion, man. And, if we have a category then that's good evidence that a list is sensible too – see WP:CLN which does have official status. This clueless, cookie-cutter spasm is like the recent spree of Coin945 and the consensus seems to be that they are disruptive. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:39, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- I nominated it for deletion because it's entirely unsourced and has entries I feel are trivial, and doesn't explain how the subject of fictional nurses is notable, which seem like specifics to me. The last AFD for this was in 2017, I don't think creating a discussion about an article that was previously nom'd four years ago is disruptive. The article strikes me as WP:LISTCRUFT, and I don't think that having a category for fictional nurses means there needs to be a list of fictional nurses. Waxworker (talk) 19:17, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment This WP:AfD reminds me quite a bit of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eco-terrorism in fiction, where the outcome was converting a list article that looked like this into a prose article that looked like this. Listing every time concept X appears in a work of fiction is something TV Tropes does; we should strive to write something about concept X in fiction, not just enumerate examples. This applies outside of fiction too, of course—it is the difference between writing the article Climate of London and creating the article list of rainy days in London. I believe the sources discussed in the previous AfD nomination demonstrate that we can write a prose article about this. I would be in favour of converting this list article to a prose article as was done with Eco-terrorism in fiction, although unlike in that case it we would obviously need to change the title as well here to not be called "list of [...]". TompaDompa (talk) 18:05, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. I nominated this for deletion the first time. My position on this is that if the article is going to be kept, there is a provision that only notable entries, with articles, are included in the list. Ajf773 (talk) 09:35, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- So, for example, Ajf773 would exclude Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan. That's absurd and, in any case, making rules of this sort is not the purpose of AfD. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:11, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- If a character's unsourced and doesn't have an article, it doesn't seem controversial to me to remove it. What does seem controversial is leaving an edit summary of 'kiss my ass' when someone disagrees with you. Waxworker (talk) 11:33, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Unsourced ≠ unsourceable. Clearly Houlihan's inclusion would be verifiable and also strange to omit, and I agree with Andrew that inclusion is for resolution at the article (no comment on conduct issues raised by Waxworker of which I have no knowledge). postdlf (talk) 16:06, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Write the article then. Ajf773 (talk) 08:56, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- Please let's all stay civil and concentrate on arguments, not persons.
- No specific editor should required to write anything. A deletion discussion is not the place to call for conditions, or discuss how to improve it - WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. The question is if it can be improved to the point of making sense. It seems to me all the arguments are about the current state of the article. But, as Postdlf state, Wikipedia policy requires the existance of sources, not their presence in the article. For Houlihan as an example, just have a look at a search in general, or this source in particular. Daranios (talk) 15:55, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep First I think Postdlf has the right of it: This is a clearly delineated subject, and the list contains many blue link to either whole articles or article sections. So on either count the topic is treated often enough on Wikipedia to justify the list. Secondly I have the strong impression that neither a proper WP:BEFORE search has been done, and the previous deletion discussion has not be taken into account. There a number of secondary sources have been listed, demonstrating that the topic itself is notable, which means according to WP:LISTN that the existence of a list is justified on that grounds also. And lastly, the criticism mostly seems to be targeted at the curent state of the article, which is not really relevant for a decision about deletion. Daranios (talk) 15:55, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. My problem here is that such lists should risk being a collection of all information. We don't have a list of all nurses, just list of notable real-life nurses, right? What about fictional? If this list was to be limited only to notable fictional nurses, that's one thing, but if not, where do we draw a line? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:56, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: While this may be a problem elsewhere, I think this list has solved it without any specific regulations: It currently contains only fictional nurses that have blue links, i.e. have their own article or redirect to section of an article on Wikipedia. If there should be the need for formalizing something for the future, that's not a question for an AfD but the list's talk page. Or, if a general need is felt, instigate the creation of a guideline. Daranios (talk) 07:10, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per the sources found in the first AfD, which demonstrate that they should have been reviewed before a new AfD was started. Jclemens (talk) 14:25, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: I came across this discussion and saw that the list still had the AFD template. It appears that Wareon restored the template due to this discussion's closing editor being a sock that is now blocked.

Hello, following up on my amends a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to follow up and propose that this page is deleted. The main reason is that the relevant history information is now included on the new School page created by @tacyarg and so this article is a duplication of what is written in Hurst Lodge Established 2020.
As a new editor this is my first page deletion request I have read most of the guidance on deletion and so I am hoping I am making this request properly.
I got a bit lost on deletion sorting lists, sorry. SeraphinaBlue (talk) 09:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. I would actually delete the new page, Hurst Lodge School (established 2020), after ensuring that any additional info is on the old page. This retains the editing history of the old page. The reason for setting up the new page in the first place was because CoI editors were deleting all the info about the pre-2018 school from the old page. I was advised that they should be treated as two different schools. I don't really have an opinion on whether they are in fact two different schools needing two articles, but if they are one school I would keep the old page. Tacyarg (talk) 12:21, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, but merge here Hurst Lodge School (established 2020), per Tacyarg. If the “new” school identifies itself with the old school, very few sources will distinguish between them and only one article is needed. The original school is clearly notable. The new school might become notable, too, especially if it changed its name, but for now almost all of the reliable sources for it have been taken from this page and do not apply to a new school just established. If it is a different school, it needs to stand on its own feet in terms of notability. NB, I won’t say most independent schools have been founded and refounded, running out of money and being re-launched from time to time, and/or merged with other schools, but both are pretty common.

Thank You MoonRaker and Tacyarg, keeping the original page would work - I (or others) can put the additional 2020 info on Hurst Lodge School and then request the new page 2020 for deletion instead. My original point is that two pages are not needed, and it seems there is agreement for that.SeraphinaBlue (talk) 16:34, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

- It's perfectly fine to call someone's opinion bullshit, as far as I know. Our own article says that "It is mostly a slang term and a profanity which means "nonsense", especially as a rebuke in response to communication or actions viewed as deceptive, misleading, disingenuous, unfair or false.", which makes it an appropriate word choice here. If you search talk pages, you will find it is frequently used. Regarding notability, I continue to be perplexed as to why you want this deleted, seeing as there are so many good, in-depth sources.

- Coles, in fact, has a profile that could have been lifted directly from the entrepreneurial lore of GOPAC, the Gingrich-inspired fund-raising operation. Coles and a partner began business in 1977 with $8,000 in start-up cash, a location at the Atlanta area's Perimeter Mall and so little cookie-baking smarts that his first batch burned and the fire department showed up. Two decades later, his company operates in 38 states and has annual sales of about $100 million. He has pushed hard since he was eight, when a fire at his father's rag-recycling business forced the family into bankruptcy. Coles did yard work in the neighborhood to bring in money, eventually hiring others in his enterprise. He held two jobs in high school and never attended college. At 31, he founded a clothing company and then turned to cookies.
- Coles has also triumphed over physical adversity. After a near fatal motorcycle accident in 1977, doctors told him he would never walk again unaided. But Coles struggled back and is today a champion bicyclist; he once set a Southern transcontinental record for his 11-day trek from Savannah, Georgia, to San Diego.

- Comment - This article, like some others, raises the question of how to deal with an autobiography of a person who is determined by a Before AFD search to pass biographical notability, because this article either is an autobiography, or is the result of paid editing. The nominator, User:Sanketio31, is absolutely right, as is User:CommanderWaterford. The image in the draft was from the subject's web site; it says so in Commons. The image either was included by the subject or the subject's flack with permission, or the image was ripped off from the subject's web site. The former is more plausible. The original draft of this article was a puff piece. The questions are, first, whether this article has been improved and neutralized enough to be kept, and, second, whether the originator should be sanctioned. However, this is a content forum and will not answer the second question. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:57, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Robert McClenon: Having done lots of work to combat COI on Wikipedia, I'm sympathetic to what you are saying. However, COI does not matter in notability discussions, which I think you are also acknowledging. Regarding the image, it is an extremely common occurrence that unconnected editors grab images from the web for articles, then upload them to Commmons and mark them "own work". If there was anything to be done about potential COI here, I think we would have done it already. (And our COI policy is toothless; even if the article creator admits to COI it changes very little. They get a slap on the wrist and have to put a tag on their user page. Then they can keep editing.) --- Possibly (talk) 01:46, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- The article creator has stated here that they read Coles' book and also saw him speak at their high school. So, asuming good faith, this is apparently not a COI product at all.--- Possibly (talk) 02:24, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Assume Good Faith is not a suicide pact. That claim that this is not a COI product is incredible, meaning not worthy of belief by a rational H. sapiens. If the article creator did not have a conflict of interest, then they had even less excuse for writing the puff piece that has now been trimmed down to something reasonable. I agree that our COI policy is weak and problematic, and this appears to be a case where COI editors have driven a cookie truck through a fence.

- Weak Keep - This has been a Heymann improvement from the paid piece which I declined. As noted by other editors, the article clearly satisfies biographical notability. In the short run, keeping the article improves the encyclopedia. In the longer run, conflict of interest editors will see that the system has been gamed, and that autobiographies and paid biographies can be submitted, and are likely to be reworked to neutral or nearly neutral form by reviewers. So it is definitely in their interest to submit autobiographies and paid pieces, because they are likely to be accepted, and they might get through in a form that has not been fully neutralized. The system has been gamed. Reviewers need to be even more vigilant than in the past to look for promotional articles and rework them. Keeping is wrong, because it encourages promotional edits, but deleting would be more wrong. There is no right answer. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:07, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Robert McClenon: I don't mean to bludgeon this AfD with so many comments, but you're mischaracterizing what happened here; keeping this article has nothing to do with enabling COI editors. The article was submitted and then rejected by two reviewers. A good faith editor (me) happened upon it spent some time fixing it. Regarding COI it might appear to be UPE, but the editor who started it has denied that. Decently sourced articles by UPE editors are not deletable unless they are made during a block, as far as I know. Nor do we delete or prevent the publication of articles that meet our criteria as a result of the improvements of good-faith editors like myself. As with many things in Wikipedia, the question is not so much how the article got written or how anyone feels about that process, but rather, the question is whether it ultimately improves the encyclopedia. And you have answered that it does, albeit weakly. --- Possibly (talk) 21:24, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

- This was "rescued" from AFD the first time around by sourcing it to a 1987 edition of the U.S. BGN Gazetteer of Somalia. Well we all know how badly people use that as a source, nowadays. Indeed, reading the gazetteer cited as a source reveals that the BGN specifically listed this as "MTS" and "VAL", not "PPL". Yes, Boharo was mountains and a valley. In 1987. According to the U.S. BGN.
The other source did not even come from this article, which is why it has nothing about Boharo in it. It's from the Haylaan article and actually says that that is the province, which the source, from 2013, supports. It's not clear why Special:Diff/891826783 was even done. Clearly the pre-merge Haylaan article was better sourced than this one.

This article was nominated for proposed deletion the other day, but the rationale was just so wrong headed I could not let it stand. I suspect if I had let it slide this article would be deleted. The argument was that he was county procesutor for a "small county". The problem is that I see no way to describe Utah county as such. It has over 600,000 people. This means it is roughly the same size as the city of Detroit and several other major US cities. True, Detroit Metro Area has way more people than Utah County, and there are other factors in notability, but Utah County is not small. So much of its growth has been recent that it has not registered on the conscience of some people. On the other hand as the home of Brigham Young University, Utah county has a notability that is greater than its actual population. I am among thousands of people who have spent significant amounts of time in Utah County who do not live there currently. The county's other true university Utah Valley University, is still in some ways a technical college that has evolved to having more pgrams, but it still does have some impact and does draw more students from far beyond the borders of the state of Utah than one would expect, although some of that is people wanting to be part of the BYU culture who do not have the academic background to be admitted to BYU. When Leavitt was diagnosed with COVID-19 in April 2020 not just the Provo (county seat and largest city in Utah County) paper but the two main papers published in Salt Lake City covered it. However I do not think coverage because you were a semi-notable person who got COVID before May 1, 2020 is really enough to justifiy an article. There is more coverage of his race for state attorney general, which some might think exceptional for a candidate in the primary as opposed to general election. However Utah state wide general elections have been all won by Republicans for the last 30 years, often by huge margins and sometimes involving Democrat candidates who did things deliberately designed to alienate over half the electorate in ways that show they are not at all serious about winning and even less serious about building the relationships they would need to actually govern the state if they did win, so Republic primaries get covered because they are the deciding election, and so the coverage of a candidate in them needs to be exceptionally unsually unexpected to show notability. There is also coverage in all three papers about a staff attorney that Leavitt hired in his office, but that is more incidentally about Leavitt. I did find this [16] from the redemptive justice institute on how Leavitt is a leading figure in introducing diversion programs and other methods to try to reduce rates of incarceration. Keep in mind Utah County is not exactly a hot bed of crime, there are some areas of Provo that have some crime true, but I believe overall the county has far lower rates than Salt Lake County, and is way below the crime rates in Wayne or LA counties, plus it has far lower rates of drug use and drunkeness and DUI and underaged drinking arrests than any other county in the US with similar numbers of college sutdents, except maybe Madison County, Iowa. So while Leavitt's programs are innovative, their overall effect is less than if he was in a place where prosecutions and arrests were far more common. THe Deseret News did published this article [17] on the board Leavitt formed to give those conviced a chance to argue they were unfairly convicted. We do have this US News and World Report article [18] on Leavitt appointing Patty Johnston to be the first female to be the chief investigator for Utah County. This is really just an AP rehash of the Daily Herald article, and I have to wonder if some of this comes from a confusion of thinking Johnston is the first woman in Utah to hold the position of chief investigator for the county prsecutors office, instead of the reality which is she is the first women to hold the position in Utah County. Bare in mind Utah was the second state to allow women to vote (although the federal government revoked that right) and the first state to allow women to serve on juries. The coverage there is only incidentally about Leavitt, and my first question to a breathless "first women to do x" article like this is when was this office established? I suspect that it has not existed nearly as long as the county. I am not sure county prosecutors even existed before Utah became a state, and I have my doubts that they thought they needed to appoint someone else to be the chief investigator until more recently than that. Our article on Utah county seems to say nothing about its various government offices, not even explaining the baisc structure. So there is no help there. On full consideration though I do not think we should have this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:49, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
I had thought in the late summer/fall he had been vocally against mask mandates, but on further review I realized that was the Sheriff and not Leavitt. This is one reason why it is hard to consider any county prosecutors/state district attorney's default notable. At the statewide and federal level the attorney general is both the top officer over prosecution and the ultimate top authority on decisions of law enforcement, although they gnerally have to defer to governors and presidents on some of this. They order the raids and they prosecute those raided, thus Janet Reno was balmed for the fiasco when they tried to apprehend Vern "David Koresh" Howell and his followers in Waco. At the county level, the prosecutor only handles the prosection and enforcement side, although in at least some localites some misdemeanor prosecutions and civil enforcements are handled by city attorney in incorporated areas. On the enforcment and incarceration side, sheriffs handle the jails but many cities have their own lock up facilities under the police chief, felons end up in state prison systems run under a different way, some do spend months in jail though, sherrifs oversee all enforcement in unincorporated areas, some municipalities contract police service with the county [the two county seats in Metro Detroit's 3 countries in the 2 counties other than the one that has Detroit as the county seat do this, it was done in Camden, New Jersey to brake up what was seen as a corrupt police department, and there are other cases as well]. Still, in Detroit which I live in and know best, the county prosecutor mainly handles prosecutions on cases where the arrest and investigation was made by Detroit police, and the majority of non-Detroit police cases Kym Worthy handles are from the 20 or so other police departments she takes cases for, not from the county sherif, I am not even sure who the current sheriff is, we had Benny Napoleon but he died of COVID. Yes, we do have an article on Worthy, but she is only for sure notable because she brought down "King Kwame" Kilpatrick and his corrupt regime, and because she as an assistant prosecutor was the lead in the successful prosecution of Budzyn and Nevers for allegedly causing the death of African-American motorist Malice Green. Yes her office also has handled several other notable cases, she was a judge for a time at a level that might be enough for notablity, she did a huge push to process through unprocessed evidence kits gathered in rape investigations, and there is more. Also Wayne County has roughly 2 million people and is the center of the state in every measure, and as I have explained the amount of work that comes under the County Prosecutor in Michigan's system far exceeds that processed under the county sherrif.

- Shorter summary I think the coverage of Leavitt's run for state attorney general falls under standard coverage and so does not meet what we expect for a politician. No one below the atterney general at the state level of enforcement is default notable. As mentioned someone like Kym Worthy is notable because of coverage, but that was true before she even became county prosecutor. The sources we have beyond that are summarized 1-an adocacy article that I am not convinced is a reliable source 2-coverage about someone he appointed that is bascially standard news, and not much about him 3-coverage of another person he appointed that is a breathless news coverage where I do not think the person who wrote it really knows what they are talking about, they are basically trying to decieve us into thinking something is going on that really is not, but even if we take it at face value it is not giving indepth coverage of Leavitt. Oh and 4-new coverage of him being diagnosed with Covid-19. I do not think we want to say that "anyone who someone felt it was newsworthy enough to report had Covid-19 is actually notable" is something we want to make one of our inclusion criteria. Leavitt is a borderline case. This is the type of case that I think would be worth discussing at AfC if we had a truly robust and discussive AfC process. On the whole I do not think Leavitt meets our inclusion criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:32, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Completely unreferenced WP:BLP of a dancer and choreographer, swathed in far too much promotional advertorialism to sort out whether he actually has a credible claim to passing WP:CREATIVE or not. As always, everybody who exists is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because he has a job -- he needs to be able to show some evidence of distinction (awards, critical analysis of the significance of his work, etc.) to pass the notability bar, and he needs to be able to show real reliable source coverage about those distinctions to verify that the claims are accurate. So no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody is able to write and reference an article properly, but he isn't entitled to keep an unreferenced article that reads like it was written by a first year public relations student.

Searches of JSTOR resulted in "no results found." Searches of Google Book resulted in few hits for minor agricultural research listing specimens from Alma Sugarcane Factory, Lakel and, Louisianaand a self-published book lacking any historical significance on geneology listing marriages and so forth in the late 1800s in Lakeland, Louisiana. The Internet Archive produced a number of hits related to school year books, food, Katrina, geneology, funding a coup in Grenada, and so forth, but nothing that seemingly would make Lakeland, Louisiana, either notable or significant. Of course, if they took a look, someone else might have a different opinion. Paul H. (talk) 00:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Alma, Louisiana and Rougon, Louisiana are separate articles. Interestingly, these are not GNIS imports, but appear to be genuine creations for what people understand to be actual hamlets. They are all in the GNIS, not that that amounts to anything. Uncle G (talk) 01:09, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

- After we've collectively had a go at it, I don't think that this is in the same league as the thousands of truly problematic "is an unincorporated community" articles, sourced to GNIS and placename books. Nor is it an "X is a rock in the middle of a lake/bunch of trees/empty field/a mystery house." problem, as other geographic articles have been over the years. Whilst we've constructed this by putting together a lot of small things from a lot of sources, I suggest that that's enough to give us an article with a significant amount of information when it is all added up.

From the 16 comments on the second WAZ ref ("confused wrestlers"), that article seems to be entirely focused on Herr Jacob's activities and very unlikely to provide SIGCOV of Laura (who isn't mentioned once even indirectly by the commenters). Since we can't know that the other refs are SIGCOV, we can't use them to support anything in our article other than what can be gleaned from the headlines, which for me since this is a BLP puts me more in the "delete" camp.

Relisting comment: Still no clear consensus, I agree with sporting flyer that just because an individual User can't access a source we don't delete. The problem here is no one seems to be able to access them and if that is the case then, tantalising as it is, we can't say if they amount to sigcov. No rush to conclude yet but we really need someone to outline what the paywalled articles say if assertions of GNG are to carry real weight.

- Keep - Passes GNG. NFOOTY is a failed SNG since it is such an unreliable predictor of GNG. Although women's football biographies account for <3% of all footballer biographies they seem to attract an inordinate amount of attention at AfD. You have to wonder about the motivations of those involved. Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 17:07, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- You might not like NFOOTBALL but it is the relevant guideline until somebody comes up with an SNG that supersedes it. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:42, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Bring back Daz Sampson and SuperJew, which sources demonstrate she passes GNG? The WAZ article on her injury that no one can access? The very short local article mentioning her appearances on B-Junior teams? The only source I found even remotely close to SIGCOV is this, but it's hyperlocal, not in depth at all, and is basically routine recovery news. This leaves the paywalled articles as the sole potential for meeting GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 20:56, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- @JoelleJay: The sources you mentioned and the articles in WAZ which is a big newspaper. The articles being paywalled does not make them less reliable or count less for GNG or SIGCOV. If you think that is the truth, you can go ahead and delete a mountain of articles about footballers from the 1990s and earlier who are based entirely on non-internet non-free sources. --SuperJew (talk) 17:47, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- @SuperJew:, being paywalled absolutely does preclude us from asserting the articles contain SIGCOV. If we can't see what's written and don't have any evidence that such articles virtually always provide in-depth profiles, we can't claim they support GNG. I have maintained this position in dozens of sports AfDs. JoelleJay (talk) 19:06, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- @JoelleJay: You may maintain whatever position you wish. But per Wikipedia policy, as said on WP:PAYWALL:
Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access. Some reliable sources may not be easily accessible. For example, an online source may require payment, and a print-only source may be available only through libraries.
--SuperJew (talk) 19:13, 24 April 2021 (UTC)- ...Yes, but in order to actually cite a paywalled source you have to know what it contains. No one here is suggesting non-trivial content that could be added to the article from WAZ, or that WAZ regularly provides stellar in-depth coverage of players in its injury reports; no one is even claiming they have access to WAZ, so there is no dispute over whether it can be cited in the article -- which is what PAYWALL is supposed to mediate. If PAYWALL was a loophole in GNG we could allege SIGCOV exists for anyone whose name appears in a headline. JoelleJay (talk) 19:26, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep ignoring the baseless accusations of sexism from a particular editor, I think the sources found by SportingFlyer are probably sufficient for GNG. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 15:06, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - When Fenix down writes, "I agree with sporting flyer that just because an individual User can't access a source we don't delete. The problem here is no one seems to be able to access them and if that is the case then, tantalising as it is, we can't say if they amount to sigcov. No rush to conclude yet but we really need someone to outline what the paywalled articles say if assertions of GNG are to carry real weight." - that is an opinion. Is there a reason you don't add your comment(s) to the discussion instead of repeatedly declaring yourself arbitrator of these discussions on articles about women's footballers? WP:INVOLVED and hiding in re-list commentary is problematic. Hmlarson (talk) 16:38, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Oh come on. Fenix down has given similar relisting feedback on tons of AfDs for men in numerous sports. Portraying this as if they (or any other !voters here) are on some misogynist vendetta against women footballers is extremely disingenuous and a pretty clear personal attack. JoelleJay (talk) 19:06, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Regardless of the gender of AfD subject, opinions shouldn't be listed in a relisting comment. I also hope that Fenix down doesn't intend to eventually close this AfD and later state that they didn't think they were involved. --SuperJew (talk) 19:15, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- JoelleJay - LOL. Ping me next time. Any editor can close the discussion, but Fenix down seems to be really on it in this area (you seem "new here", though, interestingly enough). Maybe review the evidence based on the edittor's "contributions" or if you'd like I suppose we can ask him if he keeps a calendar / obsessively checks every day to close right at 7 days.

- Comment Quite surprised to see FOOTY project participants electing to delete in last AfD discussion when the player plays for, Penang F.C. a fully professional league. My primary concern with the article is the block evasion by an editor who has frequented the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/123.136.112.0/21 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/123.136.96.0/19 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/27.125.249.0/24 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/27.125.250.0/24 Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:41, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep - it's worth noting that the situation has changed since the last AfD and Cheng now has multiple appearances for Penang, so meets WP:NFOOTBALL comfortably. The previous discussion occurred when it had been announced that he would be joining Penang in 2021 and so any suggestion that he would play at that point were WP:CRYSTAL. Deletion was the correct outcome, in my view, then but, now, there's enough for this to be kept. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 08:23, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

And another one where I've got nothing. Topos show a single building out in the middle of the woods near the town of Comptche. Searching is very difficult, as Cameron seems to have been a common last name in this area in the early 20th century. Even searching for Cameron and Comptche together just brings up the Cameron family of Comptche from the 1920s. No idea what this was, no evidence of notability.

- Comment: On topo maps, the 1:24000 Comptsche quadrangle from 1991 seems to show a number of buildings around this location. On satellite imagery from Google Maps I can count approximately nine houses. jp×g 18:07, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- delete Old enough topos use an odd sanserif font to label this spot, and they label the area just to the east which is now a cleared area occupied by a bunch of poly greenhouses and other farm buildings as "Layton Sky Ranch".

If the most you can say about a place is that it's located two miles from Comptche, it's even more nothing. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:53, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

It looks to me like a well-written, stable, and neutral article that is verifiable to reliable sources.

- Delete based on current content. The article doesn't clearly indicate, or emphasize, what made the subject notable as a military person. However, it does clearly emphasize who his father's friends were, who were his distant relatives of the same religion, and who his wife left bequests to in her will. I might reconsider my recommendation if the article received a significant rewrite. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:04, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comments on the sources: Henry Cort, Quirks of History is a personal website that refers to the subject's father (also named Daniel), not the subject himself. "Archive of the Royal Navy" is too vague a citation to be identifiable. Royal Naval Biography; or Memoirs of the services ... might be a useful source, but it's a work that was published in several volumes, each of which has multiple copies available at the Internet Archive, and I don't know which volume the article about Daniel Guion might be in. Saint George (98) 1785 appears to be part of a personal website, on which the subject is briefly mentioned twice. Strandingsmuseum St. George does not appear to mention the subject. "Archive of the Albers/Lips family in the Netherlands" is too vague a citation to be identifiable. [31] and [32] are genealogy pages. HumphrysFamilyTree.com is a genealogy web page which does not mention the subject. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:33, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete I disagree with JPxG over whether the purpose of our notability guidelines to avoid the creation of of poorly-written, unverifiable, and promotional articles. In any case, they are doing a terrible job in this regard. And this is a poorly-written article. I strongly advise anyone writing an article and wishing to avoid a speedy deletion at the hands of the New Page Patrol to clearly state, preferably in the first paragraph of the lead, what it is that makes the subject worthy of an article. Instead, the lead tells me that he was a Royal Navy officer (should have said captain), had relatives who were not notable, had business dealings with some folks, one of whom was notable (I bought a copy of Microsoft Windows 10, so I'll put myself down as having business dealings with Bill Gates), and another was a good the friend of someone notable, and he lived opposite Royal Navy HQ. We are then left to puzzle out whether his career gives him notability. What we are given is three paragraphs (two of them unsourced) which avoid telling us enough to make such a determination. For example, the source supplied says that he was lost when St George went down on 24 December 1811, but the article avoids telling us this! Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:28, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

- Howard Charles Liebengood (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Per recent talk page discussions at Talk:April 2021 United States Capitol car attack/Archive 1#Separate article for William Evans (police officer) and a bundled AfD discussion that I've opened earlier on the United States Capitol Police officers slain in the 1998 United States Capitol shooting, I've also decided to open a separate AfD discussion for Liebengood as well, per WP:SPLIT and WP:BLP1E.
Unlike Brian Sicknick, Liebengood's death isn't being classified as a homicide and there is no ongoing investigation into his death, since it's quite obvious how and why he died. He wasn't even laid in honor at the United States Capitol, a basis of notability that's currently being contested. At most, Liebengood will be a footnote in the broader context of the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol. Love of Corey (talk) 00:52, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- It's neither here nor there, but the death is still "under active investigation" according to Capitol Police Feoffer (talk) 03:34, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- The only investigation regarding Liebengood's death is whether it should be considered an in-the-line-of-duty death or not, not whether there are any suspects to be sought out in connection with that death. Love of Corey (talk) 05:08, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment/Weak Delete -- Liebengood doesn't fit the notability criteria. However his father already has a Wiki page. Howard Liebengood Sr Howard Jr has already been added to that article under #family. I suggest we merge this article into that paragraph since the death is not notable as much as tragic and fresh in the minds of people. If more information about his death in regards to the Capitol Riot attacks, then maybe he can get a stand alone page later.
- Keep -- unlike other officers, Liebengood found minor celebrity as a professional auto racer prior to entering law enforcement, winning the Motorola Cup and sponsorship from major corporations. In addition, Liebengood had a notable family background, law enforcement career, and death. Contrast with, for example, Warwick Banks or Jon Dooley or any number of people who are truly only notable for their racing careers. Feoffer (talk) 03:27, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Love of Corey (talk) 05:08, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Weak delete unless more sources are found. Per WP:NSPORTS, he doesn't qualify - the series is minor, and he wasn't even part of the main event. All news coverage I can find of his racing career is what I would consider "routine" - and very little is biographic at all, not to mention significant and independent. I could be swayed otherwise if (especially offline) sources can be found and presented that lend more notability to his racing career, but unless he is meeting WP:GNG based on those sources, he does not meet WP:NSPORTS for a presumption, let alone actual notability. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 22:31, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

- Vis M, see WP:NSCHOOL. This is applicable for all types of educational institutions and the subject clearly fails it. And this source you provided is mainly giving coverage about all the educational institutions under KVM trust. Moreover this source is written like an advertisement.
KVM College of Engineering and Information Technology is an ISO 9001 certified institution that strives to provide technical education of high standards to all sections of the society. The academic programmes offered by the college are recognized by the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT). The institution has been approved by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the Government of Kerala. Built on a 10.8 acre campus, the institution is located just two kilometers from the KSRTC bus station in Cherthala and five kilometers from the Railway Station and the National Highway. The KVM College of Engineering and Information Technology campus has been Wi-Fi enabled and includes excellent halls equipped with Audio-Visual aids. A well-equipped library in the college offers students with a wide range of latest books and journals. The hostel facilities offered by the college maintain impeccable standards. Among the other highlights of the college is the added importance that is rendered to developing the various skills of its students by its Personality Development Programme and the Soft-skill training. A well-coordinated placement cell ensures that the students are provided with good job opportunities after graduation.
So this source from Hindu contains many peacock terms to promote this college, which simply means, it is just written for advertisement purpose (possible paid source) from my perspective. Regards Kichu🐘 Need any help? 02:55, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

This article is an advertisement that was pretty much exclusively written by special-purpose accounts from 2014 to 2018.

- Keep The sourcing is far better than other flash-in-the-pan internet wackiness. I'm actually disappointed the Playboy article was inaccessible ("I read it for the articles" indeed), but the topic of how sex-workers get paid is actually serious business. Major financial institutions take a pretty severe stance against the sex industry, so bitcoin is just one of those work-arounds. It's a taboo, wrapped up in finance, smothered in a jokey marketing gimmick- but not deletion worthy. Cheers, Estheim (talk) 16:27, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "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. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria. They are either standard business listings or short articles based on an "announcement" by the company - all of the articles I can find are within the company's echo chamber and I have been unable to find any "Independent Content" as per ORGIND.

- Comment There's no doubt the company exists and even mentioned in newpapers, but that doesn't mean the company is "notable". !voters above claim that it meets WP:GNG - but as per WP:SNG, NCORP guidelines set the criteria for references and these are examined fairly strictly. Looking at the references posted above, a fair few of them are very obscure websites and others are broker "referral" sites - these are not "independent", they exist simply to push people towards certain brokers and collect a referral fee. For example, 55brokers uses the exact same descriptions as many other websites such as mytopbroker.com (which although no longer exists you can still see the descriptions here and here), thatreallyworked.com review is practically identical as is trade-leader.com, forexsuggest.com, dailybluepips.com and many many more. The use of the exact same descriptions and text means that the content is being provided by the company - its their form of marketing. Also, check out the company's *own* description and you can see that it says the same stuff too. Another referral site listed above is foxbrokerlisting. BestcTraderBrokers focuses on the community of brokers and traders that use the multi-award-winning cTrader platform on a daily basis - so designed to promote those brokers, not independent, fails ORGIND. TheNextBitcoin.net is also not "independent" and even carries a disclaimer here, fails ORGIND. This leaves us with PublicFinanceInternational which looks good, has no disclaimers and claims to have done all the research, but has a referral system in place. Big red flag though is that the founder, Ziga Breznik, appears to also promote himself as an SEO expert and also promotes First Page Elite which attempts to convince you to sign up for his video on how to make $$$$ selling on Amazon. There's more online if you look. Hard to treat this as a credible source, fails WP:RS. The remaining references are this announcement fromm the Financial Commission which offers no in-depth information on the company, fails CORPDEPTH; this mention in Finance Magnates also has no in-depth information on the company, fails CORPDEPTH; Two articles in SMH and one in Reuters which mention the company but they're either talking about an event involving the company or they're fleeting mentions-in-passing, none though which meets CORPDEPTH criteria. I've searched and the majority of stuff is PR or referral sites with some newspaper mentions-in-passing or an article talking about how some brokers complained about false margin calls - none of which meets NCORP criteria. HighKing++ 21:27, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep I have updated the article with some info and two new links from The Australian, which is a huge publication here in Australia. Here are the two article links: 1 and 2. These are good in-depth articles. You will also see that the article states that the company is the 60th largest tax payer in Australia and the CEO is the 69th richest person in Australia. Mvonabo (talk) 09:46, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Given the new sources from The Australian, I re-emphasize my Keep vote. Regarding the issues that HighKing brought up, your concern that all these sites may not be credible is understandable, given your arguments. However, none are listed as a bad source here Reliable Sources. So we can't assume they are all bad. Sites having Affiliate Links are not necessarily bad. It is just one way of generating income, besides banner ads. Many credible sites use Affiliate links. In addition, some guidelines for notability state that having peer reviewed reviews is good to have. All these sites are industry sites that have reviewed them positively, so its a good thing that they have so much coverage from industry sites and it shows their notability. If they were unknown, then they would not have so much coverage. Also, suggesting that the company paid for these or submitted bios, is possible, but it's more likely that the company bio was copied from their site or other sites when these sites did independent reviews. Finally, I could not find any evidence that their founder is an SEO guy by the name of " Ziga Breznik," the article states that their founder's name is " Andrew Budzinski."

- Oh awesome! Alright, that's one source. To satisfy WP:GNG, it needs at least one more RS. This source covers specifically Social Finance's job training initiative, while the organization does much more than that. GNG was developed to ensure that wikipdians can write a comprehensive article on the subject, and unfortunately this is still not this case for this organisation. Mottezen (talk) 18:11, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Mottezen, I'm somewhat new to Wiki but my reading of WP:GNG didn't find the "least one more RS" requirement for significant coverage. The policy says "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected." I would say having an in-depth feature in today's New York Times, the nation's newspaper of record, meets significant coverage on its own. It's pretty much the most significant and quality coverage you can get. I don't have much of an investment in this topic, just stumbled upon this article after reading the NYT article and was surprised to see the deletion tag. And I'm not saying the article is perfect as-is, it can certainly use some clean up Ew3234 (talk) 02:21, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Don't get me wrong, this is indeed a high-quality source, but it's just one. See Wikipedia:Multiple sources, which says "the strictest sense the word "multiple" means "more than one" ". Mottezen (talk) 04:44, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- When assessing wether a subjects has enough sources to pass GNG, users need to ask themselves wether it's possible to write a comprehensive article without relying excessively on non-RS, biased sources. Usually that means having three sources, but it can certainly be less. In this case, if we rely only on the NYT source, we'd be forces to disproportionally cover Social Finance's job training program. However, this is not a core part of their work. The current article doesn't discuss it. Their "about us" page doesn't even discuss it. This is why more reliable sources are needed. Mottezen (talk) 04:44, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

- Delete First off - for those discussing passing GNG - that's the wrong guideline. This is an organization and it needs to pass NCORP which is a lot stricter when it comes to references to establish notability. WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "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. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. Looking at the references (omitting Primary sources) most spend their time describing "social impact bonds" and not the company. None meet the criteria as follows:
- ThirdSector is entirely based on information provided by the company and/or a company announcement, fails WP:ORGIND
- The Economist article explores the "idea" but only gives this company a passing mention to say the company "took up the idea" and then there are two more sentences where the company provides their "hopes" and describes "other areas" in which bonds might work. Article does not provide any in-depth information on the company. References fails WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH
- The Guardian article relies entirely on information provided by the topic company to describe the topic company, has no "Independent Content", fails WP:ORGIND.
- BigLottery website is a Press Release, fails ORGIND
- BBC reference is a mention-in-passing (based on PR) and the article mainly describes social impact bonds, fails ORGIND and CORPDEPTH
- Civil Society is a blog post, fails RS. Also the discussion is on social impact bonds and the topic company only gets a mention-in-passing, fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- NYT article relies entirely on information about the company which was provided by the company, fails ORGIND
- Finally, this NYT article referenced above by some Keep !voters is one of the "discovery"-type formatted articles where they follow an individual's story (saw Facebook Ad, unusual pitch, careful its not a scam, signed up, intensive training - then BINGO, you've been on a Social Finance course, how Amazing now let me tell you more) but quickly becomes clear that the article is an "advertorial" for the company. Once the original feel-good beginning has been read, you start to see that the information is being provided by the topic company, promoting its profile, mentioning that it is "powered" by a fund, has "supported" training programs, is "advising" Ohio, is "preparing a proposal" for the new labor secretary, is "seeking, designing and supporting" new programs, etc, etc, you get the drift. You'd expect this type of gushing language only in a company brochure. This is precisely the type of company-echo-chamber pseudo-article-advert that ORGIND's guidelines are there to prevent being used to establish notability that otherwise might skip through GNG. This article fails ORGIND.
- None of the references in the article meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 11:42, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Relisting comment: There is no reading of WP:NCORP or even the WP:GNG which suggests a single source, no matter how good may, on its own, establish notability.

The article notes: "But Social Finance, founded a decade ago to develop new ways to finance results-focused social programs, is showing how the idea could grow quickly just as the pandemic made job-training programs more important than ever. ... The Social Finance effort is powered by a fund of more than $40 million raised from philanthropic investors. The money goes toward paying for low-income students, as well as minority candidates and veterans, to enter the training programs. ... Social Finance is seeking, designing and supporting new programs — for-profit or nonprofit — that follow that training formula but then apply a different funding model. “There is emerging evidence that these kinds of programs are a very effective and exciting part of work force development,” said Lawrence Katz, a labor economist at Harvard. “Social Finance is targeting and nurturing new programs, and it brings a financing mechanism that allows them to expand.”"

The article notes: "In 2010, the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Justice entered into an agreement with a nonprofit known as Social Finance to prevent reoffending by juvenile offenders released from prison in Peterborough, England. What made this contract unique is that the government payments to Social Finance were not based on delivery of services but instead on the level of government cost aversion from reduced recidivism. To cover the upfront cost of funding this prevention effort, Social Finance raised $5 million from private investors. If the effort successfully reduces recidivism 7.5% by 2016, then they will receive back their initial investment plus a performance bonus—totaling up to $8 million."

The review's verdict section notes that the pros of PDFescape is that it offers "free online PDF" and "creates PDF from hundreds of file types" while the cons are that the "free version has ads", the "premium version available on subscription rather than outright payment", and "cheaper options available".
- Lowensohn, Josh (2008-02-13). "PDFescape comes close to replacing Adobe's Acrobat". CNET. Archived from the original on 2021-04-23. Retrieved 2021-04-23.
The review notes: "PDFescape's editing tool feels a lot like a simple desktop application, with a toolbar up top, and a workspace that's set up with a file source list, and a tool pallet. The one major drawback is that there's no zoom toggle, making it a pain to use for general reading unless you're got a monitor with a large horizontal resolution, or don't mind panning with your mouse. Otherwise it's simple, intuitive, and definitely a step up from Adobe Reader if you need to change something on a PDF file and don't want to shell out for Acrobat, or use a third party editor."

This is a 161-word review of PDFescape. The review notes, "You'll have to contend with severely limited font options, however. PDFescape offers five fonts, one of which is a generic 'signature' font that looks nothing like your own signature. But otherwise, you'll find a lot more tools in PDFescape than you will in the typical, bare-bones free PDF editor."

This is a 214-word review of PDFescape. The review notes, "Although its tools are very simple, editing a file in PDFescape may be tricky for those accustomed to working with word processors; the program seems to treat documents as images. Instead of using the familiar i-beam cursor to select text for editing, one must erase it with one tool and then retype with another. This can get tedious for those who intend to change large blocks of text, but you can save some time by copying it to your clipboard first."

This is a 158-word review of PDFescape. The review notes that the pros are "Completely online; no download needed", "No account or sign-in needed to use", and "No trial period or watermarks" while the cons are "File size limit of 10MB or 100 pages" and "No free desktop version, which means you can’t edit PDFs offline".

The review notes, "PDF Escape also offers some PDF editing capabilities you won't find in Adobe Reader, but only in the more expensive Adobe Acrobat software. For example, you can add text and shapes to a PDF document. The service is free, but any files you save or email will have the PDF Escape logo embedded on it. If you want to remove that logo, you'll have to sign up for their premium service, for which you are charged by the number of documents you output."

There was some mix-up with the interwikis a long time ago which can be seen in the history, but it is correct now. The Finnish article was created in 2007, deleted in 2009, and then recreated in 2012. (The 2012 version contained a "joke" that Ruuska was born in Russia. It was only fixed years later when a magazine wrote about it, and the English version had it up even longer.) -kyykaarme (talk) 10:33, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

I've got no idea what this was. Appears as a name with nothing there in the middle of Mendocino National Forest on the 1926 and 1952 topographic maps. Searching brings up a "Sunnyside Addition" to Willits in sources from the 1920s or 1930s, but this site is obviously something different. Searching is a bit difficult due to the name being common, but the only thing I've found that can be related to this is the appearance of Sunnyside in a list of names of places where logging rights were being sold at Mendocino forest.

He may not be the most notable person in the world ... and, at worst, he's "border-line". But, he's "out there". And unique in that he is a former NFL player who started modeling on The Price is Right, as one of the show's first male models (third, I believe). And a flourishing career with Wilhelmina Models, etc. He was featured in TV interviews about his unique career, on Entertainment Tonight, Peoples Magazine, etc. I listed lots of sources and references on his Talk Page ... here ---> Talk:Devin Goda.

- Delete per nomination. He has appeared in one NFL pre-season game so calling him "an NFL player" is silly. He never made the main team and was waived in late August 2012 before the regular season even started.
