Promotional article on a new TV channel on one satellite provider with no coverage beyond that. A redirect to DStv was reverted; I expect the result would be to restore that redirect rather than a pure deletion. I'm not entirely sure of the relationship between DStv and Media24, if there is a relationship it seems none of the references are independent. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 22:58, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

- Redirect to Media24 as network's owner. The WP:PROMO tone of this article is completely unacceptable as a copyvio of [1], and just redirecting to a carriage partner without context is highly discouraged as that provider can remove the channel just as fast and orphan the article. TapticInfo, just because a network is 'locally known' doesn't give it automatically global notability with press release sourcing. Nate • (chatter) 02:55, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Does not appear to meet WP:LISTN - i.e. while “people who are convicted of drug offences” in the abstract is widely covered in sources, there does not appear to be any coverage relating to this list specifically as a set of people. Furthermore, this list is extremely problematic from a BLP standpoint in its present form given that it is largely unsourced. firefly ( t · c ) 20:51, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

- Speedy delete: This list violates our policies regarding attack pages. ―Susmuffin Talk 21:05, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, Speedy delete, I believe there are typically over a million drug offense arrests per year in the US, many of which will lead to a conviction, so this list will be either the size of the telephone directory of a decent-sized country, or it will be a selective list including only the names of those who some WP editor has decided to 'Name and shame'. It is of no encyclopaedic value, and unless its accuracy is incredibly carefully scrutinised, it will malign the innocent (especially those with common names). It goes against the spirit of WP and is an extremely ill-advised list. Elemimele (talk) 21:36, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per NLIST. More restricted lists are probably okay, e.g. celebrities, athletes, but not the whole kit and kaboodle. Doesn't qualify for G10 speedy deletion IMO. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:50, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. Grotesquely inappropriate and unwise. Gildir (talk) 22:40, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Weak Keep and definitely don't Speedy Delete per Clarityfiend's rationale; however, at the same time, rename to List of notable Americans convicted of drug offenses, and do significant clean-up so that most of the page is cited with reliable sources. The topic of notable people getting convicted for drugs is the main topic of sources from Complex mag, Business Insider, Cine-tale, and NealDavisLaw, which meets LISTN for this reason: "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". Additionally, stating that the article was meant as an "attack page" not only is not in the spirit of WP:AGF, but is also unlikely given that it was created by a user who created this article in January 2021 and is very experienced, having made several contributions to this website since 2014 [3] (User:Prisencolin), plus the fact that in the article's first state it at least had properly-formatted cites, if not for every person claimed to be convicted of drugs. Also, to address Elemimele's concern of potentially having to list a million offenders, most of them wouldn't have to be listed if we made a criteria (as we do other list articles) determining which person is notable enough to be listed. 👨x🐱 (talk) 22:50, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

- Speedy Delete as per nomination, and the fact this violates Wikipedia's policy about attack pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TH1980 (talk • contribs) 05:30, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Delete I don't think it matters very much if this was meant as an WP:Attack page or not—it's still inevitably going to come across as an attempt to name and shame to anyone visiting the page, which is a terrible look for Wikipedia. I take rather a strict view of WP:BLP when it comes to crime—we must of course abide by WP:BLPCRIME with regards to waiting for convictions, but we must also make sure that we only mention that living people have been convicted of crimes when it is actually relevant and to do so in WP:PROPORTION to that relevance. A list consisting entirely of drug convictions is rather dubious from that perspective and WP:DELREASON#9 (
Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons
) may apply even if WP:G10 doesn't. At any rate, WP:DELREASON#14 (Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia
) applies since this list is WP:INDISCRIMINATE; it might be possible to create lists with more restricted scopes as suggested by Clarityfiend, but those would of course be different lists altogether rather than different versions of this one. And since the WP:BLP concerns are so strong, I think that before any such lists are created it should be demonstrated that WP:LISTCRITERIA can be outlined such that the lists meet WP:LISTN and serve a valid WP:LISTPURPOSE while being compliant with WP:NPOV and WP:BLP. TompaDompa (talk) 02:15, 8 August 2021 (UTC) - Delete I'd expect this list to be hopelessly broad, even if properly sourced and restricted to notable individuals. The corresponding Category:American people convicted of drug offenses and its subcategories jointly contain 350 articles, not including this list. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:08, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Non notable actor and model who fails to satisfy WP:NACTOR/WP:ENT as they are yet to feature in significant roles they have featured in or won any prestigious awards.

Previously deleted article that was created by a globally locked account. Clearly fails WP:NACTOR, no debate there. Only unreliable websites when searching in Persian. Some of the results are extremely poor. Sekans claims that his career started in 1977 despite being born in 2005! Loxblog is almost definitely a self-written vanity hoax blog. Somebody has spent an awful lot of time creating blogs and social media accounts for this person but he clearly fails WP:GNG.

Keep: It has found some coverage in the books. With reliable sources indicated above, the article is good enough to pass WP:GNG. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 10:00, 30 July 2021 (UTC)- Delete: Per Nom. Will not argue against a merge or redirect (ATD and WP:FAILN) to Grupo Salinas. "Some coverage" (mainly trade field type and press releases) does not translate to notability for a stand alone article. Being defunct is not a great argument except that sourcing (presented here but not on the article) was not enough then and certainly fails "contemporary" notability standards since there is no "grandfather clause". One of the books listed above includes "The tie in with Azteca has given Todito.com an impressive promotional advantage".

- Delete First off, GNG is not the applicable guideline - companies/organizations fall under WP:NCORP. Second, the article has no references. Somebody above points to a generic google book search The vague mentions-in-passing and "coverage in books" reasons falls well short of NCORP requirements. For example, the book mentioned above is called "Joven.com: Internet in the popular neighborhoods of Cochabamba" and says nothing about the company (the name is mentioned in a footnote, that's it). 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" (defined in WP:ORGIND. None of the references I can find/see meet the criteria. They are either mentions-in-passing or standard business listings or short articles based on an "announcement" by the company - in other words, everything published all originates from within the company's echo chamber. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 20:06, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Fails NCORP, CORPDEPTH, ORGIND due to lack of significant and/or independent sourcing as demonstrated by other contributors above. Also, I don't think this qualifies as a redirect because the company no longer exists and there is nothing about it that is worth covering. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 01:10, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Grupo Salinas: Changed my vote as I believe there's no way in expanding the article. Since it had a relationship with Grupo Salinas, it's best to cover it in the History section of the target article as a valid WP:ATD. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 10:30, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

I really do not think this is an appropriate topic for a standalone list - insofar as I can tell, we don't have similar lists for alcohol, marijuana, or cocaine just to name a few, nor would we categorize people by their use of substances.

- Comment: I'm at a loss to see what value this list has. I can understand why we have lists of prime ministers, of species of bacteria, and of people who studied at a particular school, because these lists are helpful to users in identifying commonalities between the members of the lists, and in identifying obvious outliers, but it seems to me that the variety of users of amphetamines is potentially so large, and the commonalities (other than that of drug use) likely so indecipherable, that it is impossible for this list to provide any useful content for our readers.

- Delete. I was a bit conflicted about this nomination given that most of the arguments for deletion fell into the lines of WP:OTHERSTUFF (comment from ♠PMC♠ about similar articles not existing for other addictive substance) and WP:NOTUSEFUL (the claims about commonalities between drug users being so indecipherable the article would be useful). However, I couldn't find any sources about or non-trivially discussing notable people using drugs, which makes me !vote Delete for being an potentially WP:INDISCRIMINATE list. If this article is to be kept, it should be a list of people notable for using drugs, with a criteria of how to determine that. 👨x🐱 (talk) 20:19, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Speedy delete as likely to operate as an attack-page list. Similar to list of convicted drug users also nominated AfD. This list even starts with a note that it is incomplete. On what basis is someone unfortunate enough to be included or excluded? Are those included selected because a WP editor wants to name-and-shame for drug use? That's not the role of an encyclopaedia. Elemimele (talk) 21:44, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- I am !voting Delete too, but I'm not seeing how the list is an attack page, plus it is generally not a good idea to assume an article was made for malicious purposes. This article is the creator (L3pr3(h^un2014, and man would I not choose a username like that)'s first and only contribution, and the creator started the page as a short list with citations properly formatted and a lead as neutral as those of other articles [17], which makes me think the creator had encyclopedic intentions but may have not been fully aware of why the list wouldn't be acceptable on Wikipedia. Stating an editor would want to "name-and-shame" a person not only doesn't follow the principle of WP:AGF, but also is an unlikely accusation given that they cited sources stating they were users of the drug. 👨x🐱 (talk) 22:03, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- @HumanxAnthro: I'm sorry, maybe I didn't put that well, and I'm open to the idea that I'm completely wrong! I certainly didn't want to accuse any individual editor, or those who have populated the list so far, of using it as an attack page. I was more worried that if someone in the future found themselves unwillingly in a scandal because of an amphetamine addiction, it would be all too easy for an ill-willed person to use this list as a way to draw attention to, and publicize their problem. Although I assume good faith of editors where possible, I think we have to be open to the idea that some people, generally from outside the WP community, may attempt to use WP for the wrong purposes (and that's why we have a helpful team of admins). I felt, perhaps wrongly, that this list was particularly liable to becoming a target of that sort of mis-use from outside. I would have less concern about the list were I certain that it could remain a reliable historical record of those notable people who've battled addiction, but even then, it runs the risk of focussing too much attention on that aspect of their life without the balancing information of everything else they did. Though of course these people have their main articles for that. Elemimele (talk) 06:51, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for the clarification. From what I've seen, you've just gotten started contributing to the site this year, and are new it, so I'll let you know this. These are hugely valid concerns, and user contributions for publicity (WP:ADVERTISEMENT) or personal attack reasons is an all-too unfortunate reality on here. However, you must keep in mind that (most of the time) we keep or delete articles based on a subject's coverage and notability, not whether another user will use it for bad intentions. Issues of balance, aka WP:DUEWEIGHT, WP:NPOV, and attack potential are separate issues of cleanup and user behavior, not AFD issues, although there are exceptions where articles are deleted not only for being not notable but also for obviously (emphasis on obviously) being attack pages. 👨x🐱 (talk) 14:59, 5 August 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. Which pretty much sums up the references in this article. 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.

- News24 (which is the same article as this on netwerk24) is entirely based on a company announcement (even says it in the first sentence). But even if you missed that, there's more than a few other obvious signs. For example the article has no accredited/named "journalist" which is often the case when the information/article was provided from an external source. Also, the photo is "supplied". But more than anything else (even the promotional language and obvious sales talk), the last sentence encourages readers to check out to see if "your area is part of the Frogfoot FTTH network".

- mybroadband reference also has a big clue in the article text where it says "MyBroadband spoke to Frogfoot head of sales" who provided a list of all the rollout areas. There's nothing in the article that wasn't provided by the company or their execs so also fails WP:ORGIND.

A mention is not significant coverage. Saying that the company is extending its network to George is not significant coverage. Providing lists of the packages offered it advertising, not significant coverage. Wyatt Tyrone Smith (talk) 15:17, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Firstly they are not an ISP, Frogfoot is an infrastructure provider to over 100,000 customers nation wide. The notability is base on the fact that frogfoot is a well known brand locally and that the article is not written in an advertisement way rather to inform who they are. TapticInfo (talk) 07:28, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

This is one of the oldest cases I have seen of running afoul of the not news guidelines. The entire coverage is from the local paper over two months in 1952, and baiscally deals with a divorce proceeding that was abandoned. This is not the level of coverage we would need to show someone is notable, and we have elsewhere agreed that the titles she won a few years before that that we lack even direct coverage of are not in and of themselves enough to show notability.

In the 15(!) years since the first nomination, no third-party sources have been added.

This fails WP:NLIST. It cites no source that discusses "first women mayors" as a group or topic, as opposed to the individual elections, which are of mainly local interest. In other words, the article does not establish why "first women mayors" is a topic more worthy of a list than "first male mayors", "first left-handed mayors" or any number of other possible characteristics of mayors.

Comment: this is a list article, so one wouldn't expect a lot of introductory text. A google search for "gender bias in united states mayors" produces a lot of hits, both in primary research articles and some secondary newspaper stuff, about gender bias in local administration, whether it's harder for women to reach positions of power in local politics, and related issues. I would expect readers interested in feminism to be interested in tracing the acceptance of female local politicians across the US, and that is the value of this list. It's pure speculation on my part, but I think referencable, even if not currently referenced. I am not an expert on feminism, so I'm not 'voting' as such, but I don't think this list is as arbitrary as first left-handed mayors or any other characteristic. It is a list based on a characteristic that is recognised to be subject to discrimination (and is therefore, in the UK, legally protected, one of a fairly small list of protected characteristics); I would feel the same about a list of first disabled mayors. Elemimele (talk) 12:38, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Gender bias in US politics is certainly a notable topic, and a lot has been written about it. But that's not the same as the topic of "first female mayors". To ensure that our coverage remains focused and verifiable, our notability guidelines require that all topics we cover as separate articles or lists have, as such, been covered in some depth in reliable sources. So, if somebody finds a book with a title like "Female Mayors in the US: A History", the list can stay; otherwise, it can't. Sandstein 13:03, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. Women mayors is certainly a notable topic, as evidenced by this list at the Center for American Women and Politics. There are also many, many news articles about first women mayors of various cities or states (and speculation about who will be the first in major cities like New York): [18][19][20][21]. WP:NLIST says that "There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists." I'm satisfied that this cross-categorization is encyclopedic and notable. pburka (talk) 13:33, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, and not just because this list is cited along with other related research in a report titled How Far Yet to Go? commissioned by the ACLU Foundation of Georgia. In 2017, The World Organization of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), in an article titled, Women mayors are ready to stand up and be counted, in a campaign with UN Women, called on the United Nations Statistical Commission "to develop global indicators to track the proportion of elected women at local level." The authors are first women mayors in their municipalities, and their advocacy for data collection includes, "We can only achieve equality if we know where we are now and can measure our progress." Also, 2019 research from the Institute for Research on Public Policy titled Only a fifth of Canadian mayors are women reviews news coverage and data about mayors (and first female mayors) in Canada, which further supports notability of the topic
as a group or set
. There is also at least one recent AfD discussion I recall with WP:SECONDARY coverage about the significance of a first woman mayor in the United States. Additional keywords that may help find additional sources include Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Voting Rights Act of 1965, but I believe sufficient sources exist to support notability per WP:NLIST. Beccaynr (talk) 14:59, 4 August 2021 (UTC) And there are books, including a book discussing the first woman mayor in the United States, as well as the challenge generally of running for office while denied the right to vote: Women and Politics: A Quest for Political Equality in an Age of Economic Inequality, a textbook discussing the historical increase in women mayors at p. 315: State and Local Government, and what appears to be a table at p. 121 of Women Municipal Officials in Women's Changing Role. Beccaynr (talk) 15:33, 4 August 2021 (UTC) Also, here is another first female mayor AfD (US), although I seem to be the only one who mentioned this WP:SECONDARY coverage in the discussion, and a first female mayor AfD (Canada), which offer further support for the notability of the topic 'first female mayors.' Beccaynr (talk) 23:37, 4 August 2021 (UTC) - Keep There are folders full of discussions about first women mayors (to borrow a phrase); a list of those discussions is entirely appropriate. FWIW, so would a list (likely, mostly men) of the first mayors of cities, towns etc. in the US since this is an indication of local (democratic) governance. Then again, 15 minutes on Google Books finds, a list of: Female Mayors of Mid-Size Cities That Are Not Capitals.[1] and Table 9.1: First Female Mayors of Cities with more than 150,000 residents (p. 238) ... there's a whole chapter on the topic.

The third was a short notice of an upcoming competition with a link to the game's website. The fourth is a short introduction to the articles in zbComma in the main Zaobao publication. zbComma is a pullout that is printed only for students in school and at selected retail outlets, mainly at Buzz convenient stores located at bus interchanges, bus stops, and train stations. – robertsky (talk) 02:37, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Note that the BGG's translated title is Generals' Order, but actually, I don't see a single reliable source for this game's name in English?

- Delete: The first reference is a mention of him in an article about his son, the second calls him "Princess Eugenie's father-in-law" (which shows that it's about the family of Princess Eugenie which is, thus, more notable than him in the article), the third is a mention on him on a list, the fourth atricle is also about about son, and the fifth is about Princess Eugenies and Jack Brooksbank worrying for him (at least mostly).

Non-notable reality TV show from 2005. Searches on Google, Gnews, and Gscholar have been fruitless. The title brings up a lot of false positives, but adding words such as "reality TV" or the name of the producer or production company failed to help find anything. Besides WP mirrors, and the IMDB link already in the article, I only got one hit for a TV Guide listing. The article is Unsourced Since December 2006 and I can see why.

- Keep - Poppified, there are quite a few references cited in the article itself. Is it your suggestion that none of them provide significant coverage of the subject? I clicked on a couple and a cursory skim through them suggests there's plenty there. Is there some reason this detailed analysis, for example, shouldn't be considered? This is an in-depth interview with the club's CEO on the YouTube channel of a mainstream commercial radio program (generally considered WP:RS). There are also articles like this one. These are not passing mentions of the club, they are in-depth analysis of its history, plans, and efforts to join the KPL. St★lwart111 11:05, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Stalwart111: Hello , Both these sources maybe giving coverage but I don't think so these are from a reliable sources. YouTube video about the program I don't think it's part of a mainstream radio channel. Nextly they only played KPL which is an ameature tournament not an extablished tournament.Thanks Poppified talk 11:17, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Well, where they have played and whether or not they are professional is unrelated to WP:GNG, though the article asserts they are a professional team and multiple other teams in the league are professional teams also. And yeah, its the official YouTube channel of a commercial radio show with an FM frequency; that's enough for me. Besides which, I just picked a few sources at random and found WP:GNG. So I'd need to be convinced they aren't significant coverage, and that all of the others should be ignored. St★lwart111 11:28, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

This comment is just to make participants aware that per a previous AfD for a regional park (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bull Run Regional Park), there was no consensus surrounding whether the correct criteria for natural parks is WP:GEOLAND (which would lead this to be a keep) or WP:GEOFEAT (which would likely lead this to be a delete).

- This park has been established in accordance with Chapter III of the 1957 Natural Parks Law (translation here), enacted by the Japanese National Diet, which makes provision for National Parks, Quasi-National Parks, and Prefectural Natural Parks, and attempts to reconcile the competing demands of environmental protection and anthropocentric usufruct. That, for nigh on seventy years, over 60 square kilometres (23 sq mi) has been effectively taken out of circulation is no mean feat, not that size is everything - 100 sqm, if there are endemic biota, would presumably be enough; not sure about local green spaces with some swings and a park bench, but the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has given it an English name here and it's mentioned by Encyclopaedia Britannica here; there's obviously a host of offline documentation (including presumably policy papers and newspaper coverage from the !950s; there is much less fixity with the Japanese internet - if we're establishing principles, good luck with similar attempts at protection in some countries), but immediately one can find online Mie Prefecture here, here, and here, the Ministry of the Environment here, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism here, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry here, the city of Kuwana here, the town of Kisosaki here, less RS stuff such as Kotobank here and Tsuritenki here, as well as more academic journal articles here, and here. In general if wiki policy means z-list hoofers of spherical objects, reality TV appearers, and cartoon voice-overers known to a couple of HuffPost media influencers are fit for inclusion but protected areas are not, good luck to us/presumably IAR would apply, as this is may be more worthy of inclusion and note, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 08:11, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Funny how you "expanded the article a little" by more than tripling the article's length. Seriously though, I believe that the article can be kept now (though you should've added those sources before itself to avoid giving the impression that there was no other source with information about the park). Tube·of·Light 02:18, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- Keep I don't believe the above discussion on a regional park or the distinction between Geoland and Geofeat is relevant here, and it would be hard to make a formal criterion due to the wide variation around the world of levels of administration and importance of types of parks; at the least there's no automatic notability. In that discussion I may have said to delete, but this park is over ten times larger, is designated and operated at the prefectural rather than local level, and has major natural features rather than a campsite and playground. User:Maculosae tegmine lyncis's expansion is very nice though I can't read the Japanese sources. Reywas92Talk 16:12, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

This is a bit of a weirder situation that happens with the way we handle minor league baseball player articles. In 2011, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Federico Castañeda merged this to a list of KC Royals minor league baseball players. However, the content was unmerged later, when the subject no longer fit the scope of that target. It's now a separate article.
Subject fails WP:NBASE, having only played in the minors and the Mexican. The article is also out of date - the team listed in the lead that he plays for according to baseball reference he hasn't played for since 2017, and according to baseball-reference he's been out of baseball since 2018.

This one is quite a puzzle due to the testimony of the topos and aerials. There was definitely a mill here: the pond is still there. What it milled, I can't find out, but what is peculiar is that it seems to grow into a sizeable complex if apparently industrial buildings. But sometime between the mid 1950s and 1980 everything changes: a large building appears on the south side of the road across from the old mill area, almost all of whose buildings disappear; meanwhile, a tight group of mobile homes appears on the far end of the mill dam. Most of the latter are gone by around 2000, and they are all gone now; on the west side, one barn-ish building remains at the mill site, along with a modern house, and the large building still seems to house some enterprise. And that is all I can find out, as Delaware Place Names labels the whole thing a locality, and searching is heavily masked by the development just to the west, and tends otherwise to bring up info on the pond. At this point I have no basis for notability, but it's not unlikely I've missed something. Mangoe (talk) 03:27, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

- Delete: Google maps. I'm presuming the article is actually referring to the small community to on the west bank of the pond (apparently called the Estates of Morris Mill). If we had information on who was Morris and what did he mill, this would be a wildly different situation; however, with the information that exists, this is clearly non-notable, per WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG.

This is an episode list for a TV series that doesn't have an article (it was deleted in 2011). It only covers 10 episodes from 2011 (a little over 13 years into the show's run). It only has one single source.... which is no longer functional. Grapesoda22 (talk) 02:09, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Delete The show was deleted for copyright reasons in 2011, for the record (deletion log). The show has a Wikipedia article in Albanian (sq:Opinion - Tv Klan) and Italian (it:Opinion). Maybe we should have an English-language article for the show, I don't know. This list should be deleted, however. I think that's self-evident, but for the sake of argument: the defunct source is accessible via the Wayback Machine here. It verifies that there have been over a thousand episodes. WP:DELREASON#14 (

The subject of this article likely lacks significant independent coverage. It appears to share its name with a tool used to assist flu vaccination, and it has a similar name to another flu tracking program used in Australia and New Zealand, so many search results pertain to those two things. This article was created in December 2013 by an editor who has not done anything else and who shares a username with the developer's account on GitHub, which has the same real name as one of the authors of this article. This is the only article on PubMed about Flutrack and it was published three years after this article's creation, so I suspect that this article was created for promotional purposes by a Flutrack developer.

The result was no consensus. The main debate was whether the article met WP:GNG, specifically whether or not there was significant coverage in reliable sources. Both sides made valid and applicable arguments here. Ultimately though neither argument was strong enough to justify a keep or delete consensus. Interestingly the WP:WEBCRIT guideline was not brought up–this may be a good point of debate in a new discussion. More analysis of the sources reliability and significance is also justified.

- Trash Taste (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Does not meet WP:GNG. Currently one of the Japan Times articles being referenced doesn’t even mention Trash Taste or Video Podcasts. The article does discuss the hosts of the show, but the podcast does not WP:INHERIT notability from hosts or guests. The second Japan Times article actually mentions the podcast, but it’s an extremely brief and trivial mention. The Mipon article very briefly mentions the podcast, but from what I can tell the site is just a WP:BLOG written by Alfred Toh. I’m not sure if Alfred Toh is an authoritative source or not, but regardless the source is trivial. The rest of the sources are not independent and reliable secondary sources. When searching online there are some WP:GHITS in part because the words trash taste are commonly used together and because the podcast has trivial mentions in a few sources, but I can’t find anything good. Maybe someone else can find some good non-digital or non-free sources that I’m unaware of to demonstrate notability. I began discussing the notability of the article at Talk:Trash Taste where one of the major contributors to the article, Washuotaku, has indicated that they believe the subject is notable. The article could be merged into GeeXPlus or merged into BookWalker. TipsyElephant (talk) 12:19, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

- Keep - As the largest contributor of the article, I strongly oppose the deletion of this article and have been critical of the attempt to merge with the significantly smaller BookWalker article (by view count alone, Trash Taste gets more than twice the average views than BookWalker). At issue, I believe, is the niche subject matter of the podcast (anime, manga, fandom, and Japanese Pop Culture) and it being hosted by three people, each being more notable than the podcast itself, despite the podcast having over a million subscribers on its own on YouTube. It is obviously a notable podcast, there are third party reference that discuss and mention it, there is even an interview about the show by the FCCJ, who which interview and hold press conferences of world leaders and other figures that are in or visit Japan. Of course, I welcome any additional improvements by others to make the article better, but deleting it because of one editor's opinion of not having the gold standard is ludicrous. --WashuOtaku (talk) 13:04, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Japanese pop culture is not a "niche subject matter," it's very much mainstream. Regardless, do you have any sources which cover the podcast in-depth? I'm tending to agree with the nominator that, although there are a large number of sources in the article, many of them are either not independent or trivial. Mlb96 (talk) 17:59, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- My in-depth reference was the FCCJ event, where the three hosts were interviewed by the FCCJ about them and the podcast. However, this is apparently not considered a reliable source because it is a YouTube video and interviews don't qualify (for some reason). --WashuOtaku (talk) 19:48, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

- Delete, in the interest of full disclosure, I am the creator of the BookWalker article. Now that disclosure is out of the way, I am not convinced by any of the !keep rationals above. For one, pageviews are not an indication of notability, which is directly stated on WP:PAGEVIEWS. Second, all of the non-primary sources in this article just give it a passing mention and nothing that passes WP:SIGCOV. I tried to search for references and admittedly I am not familiar with podcasts much so I just checked Anime News Network and other sources at WP:A&M/ORS, but came up with nothing. As far as a merge, the article on BookWalker is more about the E-book store rather than the subsidiary GeeXPlus. If an article for GeeXPlus gets created, I wouldn't oppose a merge with that, but I don't feel BookWalker is very appropriate. Link20XX (talk) 04:12, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- My rational of mentioning the view count is two-fold. First that people are more likely to search out Trash Taste as oppose to GeeXPlus/Bookwalker (despite the fact that GeeXPlus/Bookwalker is linked on Trash Taste, as well as several other articles). The second is for those that vote here to take note that despite the article's short existence it has already generated considerable views for something that is claimed to be not notable and more so compared to a longer established article, that the submitter put forward to be merged with as a possible solution. --WashuOtaku (talk) 13:13, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Just because the title "Trash Taste" gets more pageviews isn't a reason not to merge it into GeeXPlus especially because we can just create a redirect. It's also worth noting that pageviews werelikely increased by opening this AfD or someone searching for something with the same name. The title "Trash Taste" is fairly generic whereas "GeeXPlus" is quite unique. TipsyElephant (talk) 16:20, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

- Let us breakdown what GNG says: Significant coverage - This is a podcast that has over one million subscribers on YouTube. Reliable - We have that, not just the most recenter source that goes into great detail, but other references of the podcast. Sources - Says there is no fixed number, disputing your claim that it is not enough, because sources can vary in detail. We now have a very detailed article regarding the podcast. Independent of the subject - We have identified that the source is indeed independent (as are several other sources in the article). Presumed - I don't think anyone is saying this podcast does not exist. So we had already cleared this before it even came up here, but with this new source, there should be no mistake now that this article is a keeper. --WashuOtaku (talk) 04:25, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

- I think I perhaps conveyed my meaning wrong. Previously, others have mentioned that "they believe this sourcing borderline"; as such when I discovered a new source on this topic, I figured, it would be enough to demonstrate notability. Indeed I meant to convey that the magazine article by FCCJ, clearly a secondary reliable in-depth source, along with Japan Times source "New trends in 'J-vlogging' allow for a more diverse range of views on Japan", combined demonstrates Trash Taste to have significant coverage. I agree that the Japan Times sources coverage on the topic is only one part of the greater topic on Western Japanese vloggers. However, the amount of details given about the Trash Taste podcast and its hosts in the article means it still can be considered a non-trivial secondary source. Reason is because after reading it I can confirm "no original research is needed to extract the content" as per Wikipedia guidelines in WP:Trivial mentions. All the other sources on Trash Taste currently I believe are trivial, primary, or unreliable. Therefore, there are, as I see, two independent secondary reliable sources on Trash Taste. Of course, now the question still stands whether two independent secondary-sources can satisfy WP:Multiple sources. This is obviously a subjective matter as guidelines are ambiguous about the number of sources required. I however personally believe it does demonstrate notability hence my statement that this page should be kept. Mathchem.21 (talk) 4:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Tarzan. I find a clear consensus based on policy-based rationales, to not sustain this as a standalone article. Varying views as to whether a merge is the right option or not, so rather than formalising a set action by closing as 'merge', closing as 'redirect' and normal editorial process can rescue content from behind the redirect and incorporate into the main article if there is a desire to do so.

- Oppose deletion. Though I would, wouldn't I, having originated the article. Unnotability is debatable, and plainly a matter of opinion. Claim that article is almost entirely unsourced is false on its face; five sources listed in the references support points made in the text. Other points do remain unreferenced, and for these sources would certainly be useful. But while one can debate the sufficiency, quality or suitability of the sources, the claim as made is simply wrong. BPK (talk) 04:19, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

- Delete or Redirect to Tarzan (redirect is preferred as this can be a searchable term). As written, the article shows no evidence of notability. BEFORE shows a bit, but not much goes beyond a plot summary, and WP:SIGCOV is lacking. "killing wild animals like Sabor provides Tarzan with material demonstrations of his superiority" is the best I see. Coverage is limited to plot summaries and one-sentence statements like this (ex. Tarzan shows how mighty he is when he kills Sabor". Sabor is a very minor device in the book and I don't see how this fictional animal deserves its own article, given the sources I am seeing (or mostly, not seeing). At best, she can be mentioned in the article about Tarzan, with a footnote or two, in the same form like the sources found - a sentence that mentions Tarzan killed her, which shows his maturing as a warrior or such. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:28, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

- Keep, a google scholar search shows many academic sources referring to Sabor in Tarzan. Pikavoom (talk) 05:58, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Sigh. I looked at the and found nothing substantial several days before you posted. Did you even read my post just above yours? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:30, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- Merge into Tarzan. If I understand the story correctly, Tarzan's dominance over Sabor is a key point in the Tarzan mythos, but most of what I find in a search for references is "in-universe" articles in Tarzan-related websites. We clearly need to mention Sabor, but without stronger referencing I'm reluctant to retain this separate article. RomanSpa (talk) 07:32, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Tarzan. The current sources are not substantial enough to keep this as a standalone article. TTN (talk) 00:04, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Merge with Tarzan: is not notable character. No reason to create a fan driven universe here at WP. Kolma8 (talk) 17:55, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to Tarzan. No solid sources to incorporate into the article have been raised in this discussion (passing mentions in stuff on Google Scholar doesn't help), and sources on the article are either primary sources, or listicle-style articles with titles like "15 classic Disney film death scenes that destroyed your childhood", which doesn't seem like a very solid source.

- Comment. The article says that the subject is a sidestory, but the name of the sidestory doesn't match the subject. The subject is basically a spaceship the sidestory is about. There are many links about the manga, the characters and the Gundam franchise (at least in Japanese). However, it doesn't mean that part of a sidestory is notable. If the decision is to keep the article I'd recommend changing the title. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 22:20, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - Yeah, the whole thing is kind of a mess. I would say that this should either be merged into the article on Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space, where this side story originated from as a mode in the game, or renamed and restructured to be about the manga adaptation, assuming that manga actually passes the GNG. Rorshacma (talk) 23:42, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- I agree to both options. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 19:24, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

- Merge into Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space. The only references I can find for this are from "in-universe" websites and fan sites. This doesn't seem enough to establish general notability to me. RomanSpa (talk) 07:38, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space. I attempted to find a good source, but it only appears as fan sites. 49.149.97.0 (talk) 13:00, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
