There is no such language called "Pak-Bangla language" (when searching, don't get confused with Pak-Bangla as in Pakistan-Bangladesh). A mention in a book doesn't make it a language. Most of sources cited in the article doesn't even mention it. There is no significant coverage. The article seems like WP:OR. At best we can move relevant part to Bengali language movement#Early stages of the movement.
(I have a strong feeling that the article was created by a sock of User:Lazy-restless). আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:57, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
see here, google books english search and google books bengali search, at least it can be moved as Bangla writing in Arabic script, because it was a deliberately discussed topic in the field of bengali language movement and there is significant mention of the topic in reliable sources. See the recent edition, I have added some more references. And for your concern to know that, I am not any sockpuppet of anyone. Lavito principa (talk) 06:40, 1 May 2022 (UTC)sock- No, no such writing system exists. At best we can move relevant part to Bengali language movement#Early stages of the movement (or below suggestion). আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 16:44, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

- The article mentions "Arabic or Urdu letters" which suggests an XY problem. I suggest merging and rewriting as Bengali orthography covering all ways of writing the Bangla/Bangali language (also covering eg. Bengali alphabet, Romanisation of Bengali). For a language spoken by hundreds of millions of people its orthography is certain to be notable. (t · c) buidhe 07:31, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: As per first sentence, there is no such thing as "Pak-Bangla language". Articles confuses language and script, and is linking different events in history using original research. UserNumber (talk) 16:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
Move and keep: as Bengali writing in Arabic script because this had a significant coverage and the title clarifies the topic. Lavito principa (talk) 19:35, 1 May 2022 (UTC)sock- No such writing system exists. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 21:22, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
For notability, existance at present is not compulsary, but reference and mention as notable according to wikipedia guideline and policy is needed, for example, dinosaur and dodo doesn't exist, but still why the article about dinousour still exist in wikipedia? Why the Ottoman Turkish article although it is not common now? Not a rational logic. The respective system was a project in 1947 after period and in the nawabi era of Bengal, this writing system obviously existed for the whole period without any single doubt and also a specimen is avalaible for visitors in Bangladesh national museum (see this video: 29:54-29:56, this two Puthi inscriptions mentioned here is of 16th and 7th century bengal) and according to that, that 72 puthis had been found written in bengali with arabic script including Alaol's Padmavati and Shah Muhammad Sagir's Yusuf-Zulekha. As a project of pakistan it was a talk of the town in east pakistan's politics of that time taken by Fazlur Rahman (politician), the father of Salman F Rahman, and along with urdu and arabic proposed as lingua franca, this proposal was also strongly opposed by Dhirendranath Datta then, the references are deliberately found in online and offline academic and news sources, you can search the whole discussions in then pakistan assembly papers of 1947-1954 and you will find long discussion in pakistans assembly about this project.

- Keep ... but as the article creator (a long time ago now, very early in my wiki-career), I freely admit bias. If this article does get deleted, all the information should be moved to WP: space... specifically to the Bridges project pages. (perhaps to Wikipedia:WikiProject Bridges/List of bridge reference sites) As I said before, this site is a good reference for bridge articles, and has enough notability to pass muster. Notability doesn't "go away" with time, it was notable in 2004 and in 2010, and we are not exactly hurting for space. What has changed since the last time this was nominated? Or the time before? It was kept both times. ++Lar: t/c 03:50, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

- Comment. Since this has been relisted, I decided to look back at the previous nomination for deletion. The only criteria they had for keeping it was this [1] and this now-dead url [2]. Both of these articles do nothing more than mention the existence of the site; neither gives it a complete paragraph, they are both local to the subject. Since then, there is also another miniscule mention here [3]. These are at best WP:TRIVIA, and definitely not significant coverage. This article fails WP:GNG. Jacona (talk) 14:32, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Lots of other websites reference this site: some make use of the images or the history, a wide range (schools, gov, reports,…) link to Bridge Basics for its educational value. StrayBolt (talk) 17:06, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed, but the argument there is that the reference value of the site to WP could be preserved by moving the article into a subpage of the Bridge project. (that's an argument made in earlier discussions.... it happens to be one I don't personally agree with but I would be remiss not to mention it....) ... and the fact that other sites reference it for valuable resources doesn't itself make a site notable (again, not something I personally agree with, but ...) ++Lar: t/c 13:12, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

- Sir -
- As per below - The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search.
- I would suggest to search for sources rather than just propose for deletion as indicated above.
- Also , as I said the independent e-newspaper publication from a State of India asked the subject to be their editor for a day is surely notable for me. There is no affiliation of the subject with the said publication. Musicwikilover (talk) 17:24, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- In order to be notable, one needs to either pass the WP:GNG criteria or any WP:SNG criteria and the subject passes none of these. I agree a plenty of coverage exists but it doesn't meet the guidelines such as WP:SIGCOV, WP:INDEPENDENT and WP:RS. That's to say, someone doesn't become notable if they receive some advertorial and routine coverage. ─ The Aafī (talk) 17:32, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete, despite the amount of time that has passed since the original afd, the rationales for delete still stand true in my view. The "term" concerns me as sounding like something created or fabricated by the original author, or at least there may have been some conflict there. I did do a curious google search but it seems a bit hopeless as it's a broad combination of words, yet the article is very narrow.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Article about a television series, not reliably sourced as passing WP:TVSHOW. As always, TV shows don't get an automatic inclusion freebie just because they purportedly existed -- the notability test requires the reception of reliable source coverage about the show in media independent of itself, in order to establish some credible claim of significance, but this has no references at all and has existed for almost two decades without ever having any proper references added.
And for added bonus, this article is decidedly non-neutral, expressing value judgements about "the biggest problems" with the show in Wikipedia's own editorial voice without sourcing them anywhere.
As I don't have access to any databases in which I could retrieve 18-year-old Australian media coverage, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can actually find enough proper sourcing to salvage it -- but after this long, it can't just stick around in an unsourced state anymore.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Per WP:TNT: if the article's content is useless (including all the versions in history) but the title might be useful, then delete the content to help encourage a new article. That is very much the case with this article, which is entirely FANDOM style plot summary and little that would be relevant to non-fans. In its current state, the article is very much unencyclopedic and as long as it stays as-is, it is unlikely to see improvement (much less anyone willing to even touch the article to fix it due to its sheer length). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:59, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: WP:TNT is an essay, and while I agree with the concern that the bulk of the article is documenting in-universe appearances of the character, the character is also one of the most significant in the Transformers franchise. As such, deletion seems a bit extremist to me, versus making an effort to focus on more real-world content and probably trim down the in-universe material. DonIago (talk) 19:51, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- The proverbial can has been kicked down the road ever since 2004, 18 years ago.

- Keep Article contains plenty of references from IGN, MTV and USA Today that establish notability. The sheer length of the article is a problem that can be fixed outside of AFD.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 21:40, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. The OP's argument and rejection of the notion the article could potentially be fixed, citing the lack of improvements by competent editors from the past 20 years as a reason, directly contradicts their own statement that deletion of the article "could help encourage a new article". Not only is it pure speculation as well as an unreasonable expectation of other editors to make the proposed improvements instead of the OP doing it themselves, the nomination's rationale also does not follow Wikipedia's deletion policy. WP:TNT is an essay that provides advice about how to deal with problematic or poorly framed content, including the editorial method of bolding removing or blanking prose and reducing the article to a stub-length as a way of "starting over". WP:ARTN and WP:NEXIST however, are extensions of Wikipedia's basic notability guideline. Because article content does not determine notability and notability is based on the existence of suitable sources as opposed to the state of sourcing in an article, this nomination has failed to argue a case on why the article itself should be deleted. There is clear evidence of significant coverage from sources like this Indonesian academic journal article or this book which has devoted significant pages to discussing Megatron. By all means, reduce the plot-heavy article to a stub and start over with better sources, but that is purely an editorial concern and not relevant for an AfD discussion. Haleth (talk) 00:49, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Feel free to go ahead and edit out the excessive plot, but the fictional element is clearly notable. TNT is neither a policy nor guideline, so this is borderline speedy keep territory: if the problem can be fixed by editing, to include vicious excision of useless or overly detailed information, deletion is not appropriate. Anyone who seriously questions the notability of the main antagonist in Transformers is runs afoul of either WP:NOTHERE or WP:CIR--not saying the nom makes this argument, but noting that it is--correctly--not even remotely in play. Jclemens (talk) 01:56, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep and close. Not a great nom. Take a flamethrower to the text but AFD is no place for it. Hyperbolick (talk) 07:08, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. This has apropriate sourcing. //Julle (talk) 07:27, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Decepticon. This is a major fancruft mess, with 98% being uneferenced, and no reception section. The cultural legacy is a WP:NOTTVTROPES-style list. This might be notable, but WP:TNT applies. That said, rather than hard delete I think a redirect is sufficient, since if/when this is rewritten in a way that complies with our core policies (GNG, V, etc.) a few tidbits might be reused. But we cannot keep it in the current shape, since the article totally fails to estabilish it's notability (and nobody has done so here citing proper sources that discuss this in a WP:SIGCOV way and are independent). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:50, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- You can't be serious with your redirection suggestion. Have you seen the state of the Decepticon article, or how it cites barely five secondary sources? I would have expected that articles like these would be sent to AfD well before articles which are poorly written but are still supported with plenty of cited sources. Haleth (talk) 17:37, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Fair enough, given the indeed terrible state of the Decepticon article, I am changing my preferred redirect format to the generic article about this series/franchise. And I'll try to remember to review that other article and maybe bring it here if the sourcing doesn't check out. Happy? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:05, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP, WP:THEREISNORUSH, etc. I've supported deletions based on TNT before, but those were short articles with POV/COI/advertising issues. "There's too much here" is the opposite kind of problem. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:05, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per all the posts above. The article badly needs improvement, not deletion. BOZ (talk) 18:17, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep as a notable topic per WP:GNG. I have no problem with distilling the article down to a list of appearances, but deletion is not needed. Looking for sources...
- The book Transformers and Philosophy shows Megatron in its index for many pages: 35, 81, 100-01, 111-12, 127, 133, 162, 167, 171, 182, 193-197, 201-05, 208-09, 231; leadership, 90, 148-49, 156-58, 171-72, 179, 197-200. One chapter in the book is, "Megatron, Fascist Philosopher".
- It also looks like Megatron is mentioned on ten clustered pages in a chapter about Transformers in the book The Galaxy Is Rated G: Essays on Children's Science Fiction Film and Television as seen here.
- The book Robots That Kill Deadly Machines and Their Precursors in Myth, Folklore, Literature, Popular Culture and Reality has mentions of Megatron on pages 28, 110-111, 114, 141 here.
- Comic Book Resources has numerous articles with Megatron in the headline here, like the article "Transformers: How More than Meets the Eye Changed Megatron", which is an example of a secondary source that tracks how the character has changed over the years.

Self-written promo article, dubious notability Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:48, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Jimfbleak initiated this discussion literally while I was in the process of typing out an AFD nomination in Twinkle myself, so I'm obviously going to just repeat the reasoning I was trying to use. This is indeed an AUTOBIO (creator = "Imrkprajapati"), and is referenced to a mixture of his own self-published content on his own company's website and mere directory entries, with absolutely no reliable source coverage about him in real media shown at all. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which people are automatically entitled to have articles (much less to create their own articles themselves) just because they have jobs — notability is a question of showing media coverage about the person to demonstrate that their work has been externally validated as significant, such as by winning notable awards for it or by being the subject of significant critical analysis. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of any WP:GNG-worthy coverage. Bearcat (talk) 16:56, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

This seems like a very minor title, where it is hard to even be certain what the current name is (apparently, since 2016 it was the "Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship", but it looks to have reverted to the old one now?) or the current title holder (the article cites a 2019 source, but it seems as if it has been held by 2 other wrestlers since). Searching with the current title gives very few news hits[6] and rather few general hits[7] for a type of event which normally generates lots of nearly identical wrestling database and fansite hits.

Sources fail to establish independent notability. Previous PROD was removed by User:Ficaia claiming the article "seems to have been reviewed and commented upon" without linking to any such review (which I could not find myself), pinging here to hear a full explanation of that/potential counterargument to deletion. Similar PROD for Shame About That was also removed but that article was converted to a redirect to the album, I would support that move here as well. QuietHere (talk) 15:39, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. QuietHere (talk) 15:39, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
Redirect: I was mistaken. The reviews were of the album not the song. My bad.Ficaia (talk) 15:44, 14 April 2022 (UTC)- Ohhhh, I thought you were referring to a WP discussion about/previous edit history of the article. That explains it, thank you. QuietHere (talk) 15:59, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

- Keep, charted on Billboard, sources discuss the song at length. WP:SIGCOV is passed here. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:12, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. I removed the sources that I reflected on and found questionable. Found two sources from Billboard magazine itself saying that it "was ranked among Billboard's "Most-Played Video Clips" in August 1997." In a separate article I discovered, "It was nominated by the Music Video Production Association for Country Video of the Year, according to Billboard." Like I said with Sara's other singles, this song exemplifies her early career persona as a traditionally-minded country vocalist. The reader needs examples of notable songs that further explain this to better understand her career. It also one of Evans's self-penned tracks. This is an important descriptor to her as an artist indicating that she has several skill sets adding to her credibility as an artist. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 00:35, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- The two sources you added both only mention the music video (not even the song itself) in rankings or in passing in prose. Those aren't focused on the subject matter and still don't resolve the issue of notability. And this argument you've made on all of these makes no sense to me; why can't these things be discussed on the album article? That one's just barely hanging on at the moment as is (I only didn't PROD it because I found that two-sentence Entertainment Weekly review that I added), but if you've got all this info about the songs on the album why can't those be there? Surely with their powers combined we can make one notable album article. This "the reader needs examples" bit doesn't preclude that. QuietHere (talk) 00:53, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Again, you are not in the majority here. Also, I do not think you should have any business explaining notability for a subject you are not knowledgeable in. This is clear from your response above. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 01:06, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

- Footnote: I've posed a query about this song's chart run at WT:SONGS, hoping to clear up my own apparent confusion at some of the policy in question. I'd prefer to see a consensus established there before this closes, if that's allowed, as it may have a significant effect on this AFD's outcome. Thank you for your patience. QuietHere (talk) 05:57, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete While the song itself charted, I see no detailed coverage of the song itself in any of the supplied sources and because it carries the name of the album, finding coverage of it was more difficult. Unless the previous !voters can show some of those sources that discuss the song's coverage, their opinions should be discounted. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:11, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- One of the sources is a Billboard review of the single itself, which is significant coverage. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:49, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete A number 44 peak on a genre-specific chart is not really notable, nor is a music video receiving airplay on a country music TV channel. Album reviews that describe the song don't establish notability. Yes there is one Billboard review of the single itself, but there is nothing that cannot be adequately said by expanding the album article (which is currently start-class). Heartfox (talk) 06:41, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Pinging Sammi Brie (talk · contribs), @Hog Farm:, @Martin4647: for their expertise. Also if kept, I think the article should be renamed Three Chords and the Truth (Sara Evans song) since Chase Rice also has a song of the same name. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:49, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'm getting SIGCOV, but mostly for the album as a whole, which makes me think a redirect is merited: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:48, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- a 1999 Entertainment News Wire report which notes the album had "critical acclaim but no airplay" and prompted Evans to rethink her strategy: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/99809290/
- a review in the Dallas Morning News (republished) which also mentions its airplay problems: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/99809393/

- Keep Not sure it meets the notability standards for the charting, but it's gained enough critical review/discussion to pass notability otherwise.Oaktree b (talk) 01:14, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment When I click on the source listed as Coleman, Kathy. "Sara Evans – Three Chords and the Truth CD review". About.com I am taken to an article about a Faith Evans. This may have to do with the change in ownership and name of about.com, but if anyone has access to the original source, please make the needed change. Lamona (talk) 02:17, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete I'm not finding significant sources for this song, and having checked the sources in the article many did not verify the statements in the article, and two are dead links. If there is SIGCOV for the album then a redirect to the article for the album would make sense, although the name of the album and this song are close enough that that might not be necessary. However, the sources mentioned above are not in that article, and it definitely needs them. p.s. The Allmusic link in this article is to a search on the song title, and it turns up a whole host of other songs and albums with this or a similar title. If you are searching you may need to dig down to make sure that you've hit the Sara Evans song. Lamona (talk) 02:17, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

- Merge to the parent album page. About.com was deemed not a reliable source at WP:RSN at the discussion here. References to about.com have generally been removed from the majority of music articles particularly those at GA-level. While charting can indicate notability, WP:NSONGS does state "probably" but it must be backed up by other coverage. At this stage merge to the album page is a better option. ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 00:35, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

The Serie C is a pretty decent league and while I'm relying completely on Google Translate, that first reference is a very good write up and could easily be used to expand the article. Then there is this decent blurb on his signing with ACR Messina and this blurb here, this write up here and a bit here, here and here. Given the number of games he has played, I wouldn't be surprised if there is more but my translation skills leave a lot to be desired too.— NZFC(talk)(cont) 15:55, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, it was. Playing for a third-level team in any country is not, by itself, an indication notability. The question isn't whether the article could be expanded. The question is whether there is significant coverage in reliable sources of this person. There is one, single full length article about the subject in a reliable source. Then there's an article and a one paragraph blurb on a local sports website, a routine game write up on another local sports website, and offhand routine mentions elsewhere. That is not enough to establish notability. agtx 16:41, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

While there are sources about a Byzantine Reconquista (not a "Reconquisita" though), these mostly apply to the 10th or 11th century, and none seem to be about a post-1453 reconquista. The Nicol 2002 source doesn't use the term Reconquista, the Simon David Phillips source only mentions an "Iberian reconquista" once, but not the one treated in this article. While the article purports to be about battles from 1453-1492, the quote about the 15,000 to 50,000 Ottoman dead is about the 1522 siege of Rhodes against the Knights Hospitaller, who aren't even mentioned as belligerents in the infobox. So, a hoax or at best a completely misunderstood and mangled retelling of the Nicol source? Fram (talk) 09:27, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete The page contains no body, just a mostly-unreferenced infobox, created in mainspace after it timed out in draftspace. The namespace is misspelled, and the intended namespace is used differently by Byzantine historians, mostly in reference to events of the 10th century, with some extending it as early as 7th and as late as 11th, but not these events of the 15th century. I am not familiar enough to know if Byzantine historians treat this half-century as a coherent period for which a single article would be appropriate, but even were this the case, it would need a different namespace and actual textual content, so even if it is a 'completely misunderstood and mangled' rendering of the source material, WP:TNT would still be appropriate.

The result was delete. Neither of the keep votes present even a single source to suggest even passing coverage that could be considered to be substantial enough to suggest GNG. The first keep vote rests solely on the premise that paying in the Egyptian Premier League is sufficient for notability when no league carries that presumption. The second keep vote makes no sense as an argument at all. I presume it is trying to accuse the nominator of not carrying out a decent search for sources prior to nomination but presents nothing to suggest there are sources.

- Keep. Bad nomination. The article was last updated in 2016 when the guy had already played 30 matches for a club in the Egyptian Premier League. With that many first-class matches (and counting), it is obvious that the player is notable and that the article is in need of update and expansion. It already carries a refimprove tag but the priority is update. If the nominator has done a complete BEFORE and there really isn't anything out there in Egyptian sources, then there is nothing to stop the nominator from complying with WP:PRESERVE and doing a redirect to a suitable list of Egyptian footballers.

- At worst this is a redirect to List of Boland representative cricketers - an obvious ATD exists, there are various reasons for redirecting, the name is clearly unusual etc... The subject would have met the version of NCRIC which previously existed: there are some passing mentions I could immediately find in internet news sources, but nothing particularly in depth that's obvious and he falls into that awkward era where it's not generally possible to easily access news archives but when online news sources are rarely archived, especially from South Africa - he's known to have played for Brackenfell CC which has tweeted something about him in Afrikaans, so it's also possible that sources may be in that language. On the whole I would suggest that sources will probably exist, but are unlikely to be found easily without access of hard copy archives. Right now I'd struggle to argue keep, but I honestly can see no reason whatsoever that I would ever argue delete - this is as clear a redirect candidate as I can recall and I'm struggling to understand why this has come to AfD when such an obvious ATD exists.

- Redirect to List of Boland representative cricketers I'm also on redirect for this one. Obviously the guy exists and played for a few years for Boland, but as BST says this was a period where coverage for cricketers of this level in SA was more limited, and with Afrikaans likely being the dominant language for sources if they were to exist it makes them more difficult to find. Redirect is perfect in this situation as it recognises that he played a bit, and would have passed old notability guidelines, but there's currently not enough there, but also gives us the opportunity to re-add the article is suitable sourcing emerges. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 08:18, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of Boland representative cricketers per WP:PRESERVE which is editing policy whereas SIGCOV is merely a guideline. As BST rightly says, there is an obvious ATD here when the guy played in SIXTEEN top-class matches and therefore has notability potential. This is the second bad nomination by Ficaia that I've found in the last few minutes. There is absolutely nothing to stop Ficaia from doing a straight redirect themselves if they really can't find anything, instead of bringing it here and wasting other people's time. If the guy had played in only a Boland state competition, assuming such is not top-class, then the article should of course be deleted, but that is not the case. I have actually voted redirect because the consensus is heading that way but, if I had been the first to find this AfD, I would have recommended keep with a refimprove tag.

- Weak Keep Two to three paragraphs in the Washington Post isn't very deep coverage, but it isn't trivial either, and it's the Washington Post. Her award likewise isn't a nobel prize, but nor is it a pay for play thing or something trivial at all. She is quoted a lot in media, not just in the Washington Post article mentioned above. Google scholar has articles she co-authored that have citation counts of 150, 123, 92 etc - not incredible, but also still something. Each of these factors alone would not establish notability, as I see it but combined add up to enough to create at least a start-level article and sufficiently notable to justify having an article.

- Delete. I see little evidence of WP:NPROF -- the top-cited papers appear to have around 30 citations. (The similarly-named person in another field could cause a little confusion here.) This leaves WP:BASIC. I think that a couple paragraphs in the Washington Post is well short of WP:SIGCOV, and I don't see any other reliable sources that are beyond glancing mentions. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:17, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Weak keep. She's a government meteorologist, not an academic, so I think WP:PROF is the wrong criterion and we should evaluate her by WP:GNG. (Also, most of the citations in Google Scholar by "Michelle Hawkins" are by a different person, a British bird scientist; the American meteorologist's academic publications definitely are not enough for WP:PROF.) The coverage of Hawkins at [21], [22], and [23] is all I think reliable, and in-depth, but as government publications about a government employee maybe not independent enough. As well, we have a three-paragraph profile on her in the Washington Post (clearly in-depth, reliable, and independent), another profile from ArcGIS (in-depth and independent but of unclear reliability), US Black Engineer (reliable and independent but not in-depth), UMBC (reliable and independent but not in-depth). Really there's only one source that ticks all three boxes of reliability, depth, and independence but so many others come close that it pushes me towards the keep side. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:37, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

The individual clearly fails WP:NPOL for de jure notability, so he'd have to pass some other notability guideline (such as WP:NBASIC) to be notable. To a bit of my surprise, I was unable to find significant coverage of Gray from his years in the Trump administration. There was lots of trivial coverage (a sentence or two in a few pieces, or a name-check in a few others), but I can't find any sources that cover him non-trivially in that context. There is coverage of him in the context of the special senate election in Oklahoma, but that appears to be the only subject in which he's discussed significantly by an independent reliable source. As such, the article appears to be a WP:BLP1E, with that one event being the individual's current campaign for Senate. As such, the article should be redirected to 2022 United States Senate special election in Oklahoma, where the article subject can be covered in sufficient death, or it should be deleted as non-notable. — Mhawk10 (talk) 03:51, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

He is one candidate in a 10+ primary, so I doubt the article will provide sufficient coverage to justify the redirect. Second, I do think Gray is notable for two things: serving in the Trump admin and running for Senate.

. Well, I immediately found this and I wonder how much more there is out there in Lebanese sites and in books about athletics, the Olympics, Lebanese sport, etc. Johnpacklambert, why do you vote delete when SIGCOV is only a guideline whereas PRESERVE is editing policy? Surely it is obvious that a redirect helps any future editor who does have access to a book about Lebanese athletics. Would you please THINK about an article's potential before going for the delete option? Say, for example, we have two English footballers whose articles are both one-liners with a single source. One of them played in a handful of EFL matches, the other is a long-term non-league player who has never represented an EFL club. Common sense must tell you that the former has notability potential and that, per PRESERVE, his article should be redirected (perhaps permanently, perhaps temporarily) to an appropriate list of players. The non-league player does not have notability potential and his article should of course be deleted. Persistent demands for delete in the face of PRESERVE is a major cause of conflict within AfD. NGS Shakin' All Over 10:38, 30 April 2022 (UTC)- Wikipedia does not have a grandfather clause.

SpeedyKeep I've provided some additional cleanup, a comprehensive table of chapters and a number of references since the article was tagged with this unnecessary AfD. It's far more helpful to FIX apparent gaps in references versus rush to delete, as we are not running out of space on our servers. I just did so. About notability: Fraternal and Sorority groups normally reference the seminal reference on the subject, Baird's Manual, which over its 20 editions stretching back 150 years had adopted the rule that to be listed an organization must have formed at least three chapters, OR be a local that owns property, and exist for at least ten years. Phi Beta Chi clearly meets this standard. The Fraternity and Sorority Project has adopted that as a reasonable bar to meet for those articles we edit, create and monitor, in keeping with WP guidelines. There have been tens of thousands of non-notable local chapters that do not merit an article, and approximately 1,500 that do, which are tracked by our Project. This particular group has chartered 24 chapters and is almost 50 years old. It is extensively referenced in Baird's and noted on the official university portals where it has active chapters. It has a functional national headquarters and website. It certainly does not merit deletion. Jax MN (talk) 20:44, 5 April 2022 (UTC)- you're most certainly entitled to your opinion and I'm not going to debate your points, but absolutely none of that is in line with a speedy keep. Star Mississippi 20:50, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Jax MN: I understand you may have strong feelings about keeping this article, but please see WP:SKCRIT for the speedy keep criteria. Also regarding the table I don't believe that is encyclopedic - please see WP:NOTDIRECTORY. AusLondonder (talk) 18:31, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - Thank you, AusLondonder. I've had a helpful dialog with Star Mississippi regarding several pages, and believe they PRODed this page in good faith. They noted they understood the rationale I offered for use of the Speedy Keep in this situation, and failing that motion, I'd revert to a simple "Keep". Hence, I provided extensive edits to improve the page, along with references (see below, on RS). It was the timing or potential coordination that concerned me, regarding a succession of deletions of articles about small Christian-themed fraternities and sororities. These pages needed improvement, not deletion. Further, an article about an innocuous trade association for these groups, the United Council of Christian Fraternities and Sororities, was itself Swift Deleted without even an AfD process.
- I get it: These needed more citations, and needed cleanup. But they needed fixing, not deletion. I reject "Deletionism" versus the more helpful and comprehensive approach of "Inclusionism".
- To your point on WP:NOTDIRECTORY, I agree; but you may be misinterpreting what was added to the table. To explain, I included reference links to portal pages at universities, which we use to prove existence, and notability - not to provide mere contact info. These are NOT websites owned by individual chapters, but rather, university-owned pages where these groups undergo scrutiny to ensure they are valid, operating and approved student organizations. In practice, some of the newest fraternities and sororities are not yet tracked by our seminal reference, the Baird's Manual and online Archive, so we search for other proof of validity/notability. Important to their communities, these organizations hum along without generally being the targets of broad media attention.
- Wikipedia would be a far less helpful tool if we were to limit inclusion of fraternities and sororities only to those with extensive media coverage, major newspaper and journal articles. There are some ~100,000+ known groups, but only 1,473 of these are actively tracked by our project, the F&S Project, and of these, only about half have articles (plus 43 DABs). Removing all but those with a long list of external citations would leave us with only the largest, traditional groups, and those relative few that are notorious for some national scandal, or a few with historically-registered buildings. Wikipedia would thus suppress listing of many of the newer, multicultural or affinity groups -- resulting in a biased outcome. Yet these organizations exist, and are provable outside of their own websites and postings. They are recognized by their colleges and universities, and serve significant populations and a continuing flow of members.
- Technical help request: I'd change my vote to "Keep" rather than speedy keep, as I do not believe Star had any ill-intent, whatsoever. But I don't know if I should edit my original vote or re-vote. Nor do I want to lose the text of this discussion. Jax MN (talk) 16:33, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'd have been happy to provide you United Council of Christian Fraternities and Sororities in Draft @Jax MN as I have no doubt you'd improve it, but it was an exact copy of their site and was from inception so while it was deleted as a G11, it could well have been a G12. You'll do best to start over on that one. My only concern re:
These are NOT websites owned by individual chapters, but rather, university-owned pages where these groups undergo scrutiny to ensure they are valid, operating and approved student organizations
is whether that's truly independent, but that's for someone who isn't the nominator to decide. Re: your last point, you can use <s> and </s> on either end of "speedy" or you can leave it as is with this discussion serving as background. It doesn't matter either way.

- Comment - Stifle, your rationale doesn't make sense to me. You state that "coverage is routine": yet there is coverage. This particular group moves along doing what it does, notable to its members and far exceeding the bar of notability with many more than just three chapters (24 to date) and existing for over 44 years where ten years is our standard. The adjective "Shallow" is subjective. The fact that the US-based Wikipedia is overweight on US-centric topics seems to be a feature, and not a detractor. --This isn't Wikipedia Italy. For the same reason that I don't comment on the thousands of articles about Australian rules football, leaving that area to others who have a closer affinity, I'd suggest that the detractor votes here are piling on out of a mistaken sense that Christian Fraternities and Sororities ought to be ignored by this resource, or that somehow, WP is running out of space, also a mistaken point of view. (No offense suggested to Australian rules football.) Jax MN (talk) 23:12, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

In this case, all of the chapters that this article lists as being active are indeed listed as organizations on their respective universities' web sites. (By contrast, in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Delta Psi Epsilon and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gamma Phi Delta (fraternity), none of the supposedly active chapters were listed on their respective universities' web sites.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:00, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

- Keep because his representation not only as an actor but as an activist for LGBTQ+ is notable. And Joe Locke does appear to meet basic notability guidelines due to the relatively extensive coverage he's received from independent sources, and there's a lot of them. It can be reliable and be pondered that he fit's partially in the categories such as WP:NACTOR, and is about to fulfill it. (Luisedavis) — Preceding undated comment added 17:05, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete actor notability guidelines require multiple significant roles in notable productions.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:53, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- As Joe Locke is starring in a recently released series, he is likely to get additional roles later in his career. Deleting the page now would only require adding it again later. Cyber 94 (talk) 18:37, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Draftify I think there is scope for a potential article here in future, but as the person who initially added a notability tag to his article, I agree that he does not meet NACTOR in the slightest yet. – DarkGlow • 19:15, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Draftify The article is still actively improved with lots of contributions recently. I agree that it hasn't meet NACTOR yet but it would be a shame to just remove the page while it can still be worked on. Thariqziyad (talk) 19:55, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep If basic notability guidelines are met by an individual, they do not necessarily need to meet the additional specific criteria laid out in the specific notability categories such as WP:NACTOR as long as the person in question is not part of an exclusion category. Joe Locke does appear to meet basic notability guidelines due to the relatively extensive coverage he's received from independent sources, although it could potentially be argued he could fall under the "single event" exclusion category, it also doesn't appear as though it would be appropriate to list information about his career, which did arguably become notable over Heartstopper under that page instead. - At time same time, it would appear incredibly unlikely that, events that will continue to make this person notable will stop, meaning this page will likely develop more into the future. The alternative to keeping the page here would be draftify the page, in which case we would just basically be making relevant information about Joe Locke that is currently on the page, either unavailable on wikipedia entirely, or accessible in a place where it really isn't obvious or suitable on a basis that is going to be very temporary in nature. I really only see this provide downsides to wikipedia users in this specific instance. In the end, Joe Locke's page appears to be right on the knife's edge between being able to have/not have their own page under wikipedia's guidelines, but I am seeing a clear downside to draftifying or removing the page at this point, thus (perhaps controversially) I am voting to keep the page. Wilburg22 - The insufferable potato! (Click here for my talk page!) 15:33, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - There is extensive coverage of the subject by reliable sources, which meets WP:BASIC and passes WP:NACTOR. For these reasons, and per points made Wilburg22, this article should remain. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 18:21, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- @AuthorAuthor: WP:BASIC states that "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published states" [...] and General notability guideline (WP:N) states that "presumed" means that "significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article" [...] The subject has just made his debut as an actor with this series, I don't think he has enough encyclopedic relevance yet to merit a wiki.
- Could it not be redirected to the series page until he achieves true/greater notability? (more roles and important projects for example, awards/nominations etc.) --Miaow 22:50, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - This person passes the notability guidelines, thus I don't support deletion. Auror Andrachome (talk) 02:24, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

- In any case, you can save the information in the Sandbox of the user who created the article. But definitely the actor is not remarkable. The article has been created since May 2021. Were you waiting for the series to come out to promote the actor here on Wikipedia? Bradford (Talk) 22:02, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Bradford, The issue is not if the actor is remarkable, the issue is he is notable, which he appears to be based on the external evidence in the news, his critical reception in this Netflix role, and the amount of traffic to this article each day. I have no idea about the intentions of the original drafter of the article. FULBERT (talk) 00:11, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

- Keep - I also agree with AuthorAuthor. Although Heartstopper is a new production, the subject’s portrayal of his character has already received much critical acclaim. The nature of the role is of special interest because of the sensitive and topical issues addressed - teenage sexuality, gender identity, bullying etc. The quality of the acting, in itself, accords notability and I’m certain that the article will only grow as this young actor’s experience increases. The number of visits to the page is high which suggests that the content is valued.

Biography of living person who does not satisfy general notability or political notability. Both a draft and an article have been created, possibly to prevent moving the article into draft space. None of the references in the article are independent significant coverage. They include passing mentions, an interview, and profiles of his company and his foundation. It has not been necessary to check reliability of sources, but many of them are in the Times of India, which is not considered reliable, but it has not been necessary to check reliability of sources, because they do not pass the independent secondary significant coverage test.

Fairly run-of-the-mill businessperson who is also a nobleman, but who never sat in the House of Lords because they inherited their title after the House of Lords Act 1999. The sources on this person do not help confirm that the person is notable; only genealogy websites pop up, and the rest is not significant coverage, reliable, or independent from the subject.
Source assessment follows:
Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
Peter W. Hammond, ed., The Complete Peerage or a History of the House of Lords and All its Members From the Earliest Times, Volume XIV: Addenda & Corrigenda (Stroud: Sutton Publishing, 1998), page 31 | ? No consensus at WP:RSN on this issue. Certainly better than self-published peerage websites. | ? | ? Unknown | |

- Given the fact that some editors seem confused about the deletion rationale, I'd like to make the last sentence explicit: it fails WP:BASIC. Pilaz (talk) 21:33, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, Royalty and nobility, United Kingdom, and Northern Ireland. Pilaz (talk) 00:02, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- On balance Delete. In another time someone in his position would have got enough coverage for an entry even if they had not had a seat in a national legislature; before 1963, not all Scottish peers could sit in the Lords, so they were all eligible only for a relatively brief period (certainly in this context) of 36 years, but if any such articles on here were up for deletion, sources probably could be found. But not in this case, I would suspect. His class does still have significant power and privilege at various levels, but much of their power and status has been ceded to larger-scale, global capitalists, and our policies should reflect that. RobinCarmody (talk) 02:36, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: Notability is not about importance, or power, or privilege, and it does not treat a seat in the House of Lords as an acid test, although quite oddly that would have settled the question. The policy just requires a certain level of coverage in sources independent of the subject, and we have that. (A bit hard to see how all the sources can be called genealogy websites, as not one of them is that.) Moonraker (talk) 07:29, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- The sources also need to be secondary, reliable and provide significant coverage. All of this is covered under WP:BASIC. Pilaz (talk) 21:38, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Speaking of which, can you perhaps provide more details as to which sources help the article meet WP:BIO, Moonraker? Pilaz (talk) 21:39, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- The sources also need to be secondary, reliable and provide significant coverage. All of this is covered under WP:BASIC. Pilaz (talk) 21:38, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Very little coverage of him specifically. Also delete the equally unnotable 7th, 8th and 9th earls. The previous title holders already redirect to Earl of Antrim#Earls of Antrim, second creation (1785). Clarityfiend (talk) 11:29, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- What an extraordinary thing to say. The 8th earl, e.g. was the chairman of the National Trust and has an article in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. This doesn't seem like a policy-based vote as much as a class-based one. Atchom (talk) 02:14, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Debrett's People of Today | WP:RSP - "There is consensus that Debrett's is reliable for genealogical information. However, their defunct "People of Today" section is considered to be not adequately independent as the details were solicited from the subjects.

- Comment on peerage sources that seem the primary coverage for this individual. By their nature these are prosopographical, an attempt to give information on everyone belonging to a specified class, with the only inclusion criteria being whether someone falls within the Venn diagram defining that class (an analogy would be a school yearbook or membership directory). The lack of editorial judgment determining inclusion renders such sources (Burke's and Hammond in this case) less weighty in contributing to WP:GNG than a source where an editor or author has selected a specific individual as more worthy of personal coverage than other individuals. Agricolae (talk) 14:51, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think that analogy necessarily stands. If the category of people is notable in and of itself, there is no reason why a book about all of them shouldn't contribute to notability. For instance, a lot of French political biographies use the standard biographical dictionary of French legislators as a source, biographies of US judges commonly use material from the biographical dictionary of US judges, and so on. You get the idea. Atchom (talk) 02:12, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. As a previous editor has said, not having a seat in the Lords is not the one-step test to deletion. The article as it stands is sources to the requisite level for notability to be established. Some of the previous votes (including the editor who suggested deleting an article about a man who has an ODNB entry) do not seem to be based on policy as much as a certain sort of politics.

, I was referencing WP:BIO. I thought that was obvious, but I'm glad you brought it up, and I have added a subsequent comment to my nomination to reflect that it wasn't. Pilaz (talk) 21:35, 4 May 2022 (UTC)- As for the fact that they never sat in the House of Lords, I referenced it because it avoids people incorrectly claiming that it meets WP:NPOL as member of a national legislature. See this list for post-1999 AfD on British noblemen who never sat in the House of Lords. Pilaz (talk) 21:47, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Pilaz, I agree with you about WP:NPOL, but that is simply a policy which overrides WP:N when the GNG is not complied with, which it is here. All the sources seem reliable and independent, with a slight blur about highcouncilofclandonald.com, which has an editor called Macdonald who may well turn out to be a tenth cousin of the subject. When you say “only genealogy websites pop up”, I see none. If you mean The Complete Peerage, that is a huge printed source with editors. May I ask which other sources you are challenging? Moonraker (talk) 00:47, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- My source assessment is in the nomination; and you haven't addressed the lack of significant coverage, which is integral to the GNG, for the two news articles. As for the The Complete Peerage, it is likely a tertiary source (a compilation anthology) and therefore probably can't satisfy the GNG (due to secondary source requirements). I also wonder if this Earl gets more than a passing mention in there. highcouncilofclandonald.com is definitely not independent from the subject, and is a WP:SPS, hence not reliable. And Burke's is insufficient, since Wikipedia is not a genealogy website. Pilaz (talk) 01:20, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
