Young Global Leaders

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

Does not meet WP:GNG. While plenty of "sources" exist, they are almost uniformly non-independent, PR, insignificant, or promotional in nature. This topic does not have sufficient significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. —Ganesha811 (talk) 23:39, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

People NEED to know who is a part of the WEF, and I very much suspect that's exactly why it's going to be deleted. 2A00:23C6:F494:8501:30ED:F594:DFA4:58FC (talk) 14:03, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you NEED to keep track of Young Global Leaders for conspiratorial purposes, the WEF itself has a full database, which I'm sure has been archived in many places. The question on Wikipedia is whether the content is notable enough to be encyclopedic. —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:12, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep the Subject seems important to an extent. I have analyzed the article, and saw that it is notable enough. And, can be kept.Ploreky^{Have a problem?} 17:18, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per Malo95 and Drmies. There appears to be just enough significant coverage in reliable independent sources to cross the notability threshold. Sal2100 (talk) 17:30, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trojan Construction Group

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

I bring this to AFD as according to my opinion, the notability of the corporation is questionable per WP:CORP. From the sources used, all or nearly all of the sources are routine coverage of what the company is doing, and most are discussing about buildings/projects that the company made, and not about the company itself. Some sources also discuss about Alpha Dhabi Holding, which is the company holding this company. Thank you. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 23:02, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- agree with nom, almost all sources are about Trojan Holding (now renamed Alpha Dhabi Holding), the parent company. The only source that's clearly about the Trojan Construction Group is this one, and that's not enough to meet NCORP. The sources about the buildings/projects don't seem to mention TCG at all.

Comment. Can someone (maybe the nominator) elaborate on her position as Zosimli Naa? What does this title mean? pburka (talk) 22:58, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like Zosimli Naa (or Zo-simli Naa) is a semi-honorary title in Tamale, Ghana, translated as "Chief of Friendship". The first Zosimli Naa, a white American woman, Doctor Susan J. Herlin, was enskinned in 1995,[7] and Ife Bell Tipag'ya succeeded her following Herlin's death in 2014.[8] It looks like Kennedy S. Johnson might have also held the title in 2021.[9] I don't think the position itself confers automatic notability, but the title is notable, I think. If someone creates the Zo-simli Naa page before this AfD runs its course, I propose redirecting this page there. pburka (talk) 00:01, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this 7-year old beauty pageant contender meets WP:GNG nor WP:NBEAUTY. The sourcing consists of a Twitter post, an interview, a blog post, and an unverifiable post (I'm getting a blank page). It seems that none of the pageants she has competed in are notable.

Socialist Area

Page about a tiny personal political organization, with no sources, that doesn't meet WP:Notability. In practice, the article merely states that this political organization exists / has existed. At most it could be merged with Bobo Craxi's article. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 21:02, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The party, though small, existed and played a role in Italian centre-left politics. It is beneficial to have a specific article on the subject, but, if no consensus is achieved on keeping it, I hope it can at least be merged into Italian Socialist Party (2007). Please note that AS was a split of the PSI and later its members returned to the PSI. --Checco (talk) 04:24, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What role has this (unknown) organization played? It is only a personal organization that exclusively concerns Bobo Craxi (it doesn't concern PSI, because for the history of the latter it is irrelevant at all), and honestly I am not aware that it has played any role in any context... In practice, in the article it is written only that this organization existed. Could you explain the role played by this organization?--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 07:35, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is clear precedent that it passes the notability guideline WP:ANYBIO, as I have illustrated. Only one person with a CBE has ever been deleted at AfD, and they undoubtedly shouldn't have been. CBEs are not given out in cornflakes packets. Only about 100 are awarded every year in a country of over 60 million people.

Comment - nowhere does policy state that recipients of several lower level (meaning not the top two levels) of civilian/military awards, automatically qualify for notability. For example, the Purple Heart is both well known and significant. Yet we would not suggest that every soldier who has two Purple Hearts would be notable.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 10:28, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- The Purple Heart is merely received for being unlucky enough to be wounded, not for any sort of achievement. This doesn't even merit a badge in many countries, let alone a medal. It's not in any way significant. But the salient fact here is his CBE, a very high award. He also received the DSO, a second-level military gallantry/leadership award. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:56, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  Okay, then say the Bronze Star Medal. And again, please show policy. I understand your viewpoint, and would have been to speedy close it if you had earlier (can't now), but viewpoints are not policy. Again, if there was an individual, who's only claim to fame was having won 2 Defense Distinguished Service Medals, that would not be enough to show notability. So please, point to the policy. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:34, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  Two fourth-level awards? No, doesn't establish notability. But WP:CONSENSUS is also important. Written policy is not the be all and end all on Wikipedia. And consensus is clear, established over many years and many AfDs. Again, we're talking about a single award meeting ANYBIO, not multiple awards. The DSO merely adds to the notability. It doesn't establish it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:22, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  
  I'd suggest you brush up on the Purple Heart. It was the first military decoration awarded in a systematic way by the US government, and 'merely' being wounded in combat is more significant than the Bronze Star (without V), the Air Medal, and a number of other awards routinely trotted out as notable. If nothing else the Purple Heart can establish an individual's service in a combat zone. The Bronze Star (without V) does not. Intothat darkness 21:12, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  I'll repeat, in most countries being wounded doesn't merit any award at all. The fact the USA does award a medal for it doesn't make it a significant award. Wrong place, wrong time, that's it. Not awarded for any sort of merit. The Bronze Star and Air Medal fall into much the same category, incidentally. No more than fourth-level awards at best, if that. No idea why we're mentioning them on the same page as the CBE, a high and relatively rare award for military or civilian achievement, or the DSO, a second-level military award for leadership or gallantry. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:49, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  There's no indication in the article his DSO was awarded for any specific event or action. To me it smacks of the "end of tour" packages that became common during the Vietnam War for officers above a certain grade (with the assumption they must have done something worthy of recognition during their tour...or just to pad their portfolios depending on which source you consult). Intothat darkness 14:09, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete in absence of further sourcing. I'm not convinced by the CBE-based argument (i.e. that it's sufficiently high for an automatic unambiguous notability). And in any case it's an additional criteria of which we are told meeting one or more [additional criteria] does not guarantee that a subject should be included. On a fundamental level, there simply doesn't appear to exist the prerequisite sourcing for a reasonably sourced article to be written about him. I'd be amenable to a merge/redirect, but I'm not sure of a suitable target.

As an aside, the article's use of images to pad the page is rather annoying and masks how the text largely just repeats the same few bits of information multiple times (compare "Written works" and "Bibliography"). I've WP:BOLDly removed most images and floated those that remain. I didn't touch the prose for now, but even if kept a significant cleanup (likely to a stub) is needed. -Ljleppan (talk) 07:04, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of tallest structures in Yugoslavia

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

I used to think that this list would be a nice historical list, but people keep adding modern-day structures to it, so it becomes a hodgepodge of anachronistic information. The navbox it's in says it's about a "region", but unfortunately, the former Yugoslav region is not a well-defined region in Europe so this is rather moot. But most importantly, it looks like the list itself is still a WP:SYNTH violation - the article doesn't reference secondary sources that talk about lists of structures in Yugoslavia, it's just a bit of original research by overzealous Wikipedia editors. Ultimately, I don't really think there's any typical English readers who would ask the question "what were the tallest structures in a specific multi-ethnic country that had existed in the 20th century in the Balkans", so this is generally pointless. If there was an article about architecture in Yugoslavia that went into detail about this general topic, this might be a nice addendum, but as is, it's just weird.

Comment before we proceed with deletion, would it make sense to take it apart and create per-republic lists of tallest structures? Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, North Macedonia and Slovenia only have pages for tallest buildings. Serbia has a page for tallest structures, just a quick check is needed whether all of them are there. Finally, Kosovo has both and Montenegro has neither. -Vipz (talk) 02:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If the content from here can be used there, sure. I'm not sure if each of those topics is necessarily verifiable and notable, though. Is there secondary source coverage for this in turn? In either case, it's easy to preserve the content outside of article space for later. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 06:11, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Split and delete per above. -Vipz (talk) 13:57, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed that the architecture link turned blue, so there is an article about the more general topic, but it doesn't mention height of structures at all, so if there's some sources to discuss that, a section can be started there perhaps. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 06:37, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It turned blue because I remembered that the article for architecture of Yugoslavia existed, and made architecture in Yugoslavia a redirect to it. I think it would be fine to have a paragraph or section dealing with tallest structures/buildings in that article - just like this one does. -Vipz (talk) 00:10, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Super Mario 3 Special

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

Procedural nomination after closing Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 October 17 § Super Mario 3 Special as "restore and send to AfD". Some ancient history:

Prodded 31 August 2006 (3 minutes after creation) by RobJ1981
Converted to merge proposal to Super Mario Bros. Special (itself BLAR'd to Super Mario Bros. § Super Mario Bros. Special by Abryn in 2009) by SNS 25 minutes later
After the creator and one other opposed on talk, 216.43.51.147 removed the merge proposal on 3 September 2006. (N.B. That was the only edit ever made by the user concurring on talk.)
BLAR'd to Super Mario Bros. 3 by A Man In Black on 15 October 2006 with rationale One of countless HK specials, no real notability, redirecting
After 8 months of edit-warring, things settled on maintaining that redirect

The RfD close should be read as consensus against redirecting to Super Mario Bros. 3. I bring to AfD the question of whether this article should be kept, deleted, or redirected/merged to some other target. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 21:53, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to ~~Sterilization~~ Sterilization (microbiology)#Chemical sterilization.

Chemical castration should probably be added to that dab if this is done though (as a hatnote or see also). Chemical castration isn't a form of sterilization scientifically speaking, but in common usage sterilize (in the medical biology sense) and castrate are sometimes used as interchangable synonyms.

I'm also fine with Sterilization (microbiology)#Chemical sterilization as a redirect target here.

Unintentional (2022)

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

Non-notable short film. The article initially claimed that the film won three international awards but that's misleading. First, the festival in question (the Black Swan International Film Festival) is itself not notable and it awards prizes in dozens of categories every month. On top of that, the festival doles out (for each of the dozens of categories and for every month) a number of Outstanding Achievement Awards which seem to act as consolation prizes.

Delete. On the face if it, it would appear that an article on List of countries by population in 1950 would be a good thing. This, however isn't it. I could go into considerable detail about the many things wrong with the data in the article (before I blanked it), but suffice to say it is full of material which is either WP:OR, badly sourced, or lacking any source at all. And furthermore, it has to be asked whether such a definitive list could ever be created, in accordance with Wikipedia policy. The essential issue is that there appear to be relatively few even remotely complete sources for such data, all seem to be problematic in one way or another (even the best are inevitably estimates, not least because census data is rarely available for the relevant year), and any attempt to combine such sources into a single table inevitably involves the sort of picking and chosing that WP:OR policy forbids. The best we could probably come up with would be a list of lists of countries by population in 1950, each cited to a different source. Definitive data for the period apparently doesn't exist, and we shouldn't be constructing articles around the premise that it does. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:29, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT. If someone wants to re-create a version of this article that doesn't have WP:OR like this article, and all of the other articles by this creator that were deleted.

Comment Category:Lists of countries by population by year has other articles like this one. Should they all be nominated at once for the same problem? There should be somewhere on the United Nations website or other legitimate sources showing the world population year by year. Picking a year the first census done before and after World War 2 would make sense perhaps. Or an article showing time periods where the human population rapidly dropped do to war or disease, could be a valid list. Dream Focus 22:49, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Should similar lists be nominated? Quite possibly, in that the dogs-breakfast mixed-source/WP:OR approach seen in the 1950 list is sadly far from unique. As for what legitimate sources have to say on the matter, the U.S. Census Bureau has estimated population data for 1950 in its database. It also has this to say about the validity of such data: Total midyear population estimates and projections in the IDB are available for 1950 onward for all current countries whether or not they existed in 1950. The data and methods through which the 1950 populations were developed vary depending on the availability of data for each country. For many statistically less developed and lower income countries, modern censuses were not conducted until the 1960s or 1970s, and reliable population data therefore are not available. (from [10] p 38). A reliable source saying that data to create a comprehensive and accurate list for 1950 doesn't exist... AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:56, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I haven't looked into the source material closely, but obviously there is going to be a (very recent) point which should mark the earliest possible time populations can be so comprehensively estimated. AndyTheGrump's quote above suggests 1960s/1970s and that seems reasonable. I note the existence of Estimates of historical world population, which does seem a reasonable topic, and would suggest it be considered that all earlier lists be deleted, or if they contain anything useful, merged and redirected to that article. CMD (talk) 05:34, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'd not seen that article. Given that it seems to cover the topic appropriately, both citing credible sources and going into significant detail over the uncertainties involved - which the 'List' articles singularly fail to do, in addition to all their other faults - the suggestion that the other lists be deleted and redirected seems entirely sensible. Frankly, I'd be surprised if there was anything much of significance which required merger. AndyTheGrump (talk) 09:49, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not finding evidence that the subject will pass WP:GNG & WP:NACTOR, after combing included sources, only two have enough content to potentially pass as significant coverage: ibtimes (unreliable per WP:RSP) and The National Era.

I don't know much about TNE (besides that the name is the same as an 1847 Washington newspaper) but the little research I did does not inspire confidence: No mentions of editorial responsibility or easy-to-find address, it's a wordpress site, established in 2021 (Archive.org backs this as well) with some leftover test pages to boot (found by navigating to the generic "author" URL) and questionably generic author names ("George A").

Burak Bulut & Kurtuluş Kuş

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

Single year-old band that was cross-wiki created by ~~a few users~~ the same user during the past two days. No albums, no major awards or chart listings. Meets none of the WP:NMUSIC criteria apart from maybe #10 for their appearance in Ibo Show, and meeting that alone is not enough as explained in the sentence after it. The sources aren't good either. A few of them are in "Kimdir?" style, which are considered to be unreliable due to their lack of editorial oversight, regardless of the publisher. Refs 4, 6, 8, 11 and 13 are from local websites that can't be used to establish notability as they tend to write these articles in return of some money. Onedio (ref 12) is similar to Forbes contributors and should not be used for anything. Ref 14 is about a car crash that doesn't mention either of the members. The "breaking the Turkish record" is not verified by either of the sources given for it inline. Refs 5 and 17 are from reliable publishers about the same thing, but are only a few sentences long each, which isn't significant coverage. This only leaves us with refs 2 and 3, both from reliable publishers. The problem is that these two are a word for word copy of each other, so it's actually a single source. When you filter out the quotes and bits that are about Eypio, you only get the songs they sang during the concert. Without a single reliable, independent and significant source, this band also fails the GNG. Just regular spam of a non-notable band, machine translated into a few other projects. ~Styyx^Talk? 14:09, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article is written like an advert, but of course that is a reason to improve, not delete. Looking at the sourcing however, there is only trivial coverage of routine announcements. The most in-depth coverage from a reliable source is probably the Guardian piece, which is just a few sentences long; the rest is just rehashed press releases.

Delete. After analysing the sources cited, I added a notability template to the article a few hours ago, giving my reasoning on Talk:Nationality as a Service. To summarise, the sources are all either non-WP:RS, non-independent, or don't support the content. I can't find any real evidence that 'Nationality as a Service' has even been discussed in reliable sources, or that it is anything more than a particularly-dubious example of the interminable 'X as a service' buzzword-phraseology the English-speaking world has been blighted with over the last decade or so.

Speedy delete per A11. This appears to be a phrase coined by a single group or maybe two related groups (that are themselves not notable) and there doesn't appear to be a single mention of it in a reliable source (as per AndyTheGrump's analysis; these are all self-published sources), even in passing (so WP:NEO). The page doesn't make a credible claim to notability and appears to be a group of people trying to give their neologism some credibility by making a wiki page for it. It seems highly likely that the person making this page either is one of the people who coined it or heard it on the podcast episode which is cited twice and aired days before the page was made.

Keep. Not sure why only a Google news search was considered? There are pages and pages of hits in Google Books, some without preview, but including seven substantive hits in Lenard D. Moore and African American Haiku: Merging Traditions; some hits in Haiku, Other Arts, and Literary Disciplines, including the statement that it is the largest society devoted to haiku outside Japan, and has official definitions of forms which are discussed (p126); five substantive hits in One Hundred Frogs: From Renga to Haiku to English including more discussions of their definitions and some stuff about their journal Frogpond; lots of hits in Haiku Mind: 108 Poems to Cultivate Awareness and Open Your Heart whose bios freq. mention their involvement in the society from which more history could be constructed; more history on how their definition was reached The Classic Tradition of Haiku: An Anthology; also Haiku in English: The First Hundred Years; International Who's Who in Poetry 2005 (incl people winning their prizes); Haiku--The Sacred Art: A Spiritual Practice in Three Lines (two paragraphs on society plus sep para of Frogpond) and lots more (that's just the first two pages of hits). The WL Ebscosearch also has a lot of hits though the top ones are mainly from Frogpond and some of the others look like press releases. Incl Saying it in 17 syllables.

Passes GNG

— Cielquiparle (talk) 21:31, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As this is a non-profit organization, IMO we're looking at the two criteria per WP:NONPROFIT. IMHO the refs found by Espresso Addict, most of them with around 10 hits, are independent, secondary, and passes WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:RS, hence meeting the second criteria: The organization has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization. The first criteria of WP:NONPROFIT, The scope of their activities is national or international in scale, from my perspective is probably passed because of the decent coverage and it being the largest society dedicated to haiku and related forms of poetry outside Japan per ref 1. The article has also been significantly improved since the AfD nomination. VickKiang (talk) 02:36, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Index of World War II articles (0–9)

We certainly have indices and this one is included in our index of indices: Wikipedia:Contents/Indices. Is there a policy? I don't know, we maybe just have them, like disambiguation pages, redirects, files and articles. Even if there is a policy it wouldn't stop people trying to delete indices. Some people a while ago tried to get rid of portals, so why not indices (or articles)? Thincat (talk) 10:57, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep: erroneous nomination as wrong forum due to inappropriate scope. Alphabetical is a standard form of organization, and Wikipedia indexes are alphabetical by definition! I respectfully request that this deletion discussion be closed, and/or that the nominator withdraw the nomination. The argument that indexes serve no useful purpose is an issue for an AfD or RfC of the whole index system (see: Wikipedia:Contents/Indices), making an AfD for a single index, let alone a single page of a 25-page multi-page index, the wrong forum for determining what to do about that issue. The scope of notification should match the scope of the issue: the proper procedure for deleting the index system would be to nominate the whole system for deletion, and placing a deletion notice on every index article page, rather than going after it one page at a time (and thereby notifying hardly anybody). If there was a valid reason for deleting a particular multi-page index article (not the alphabetical nature of indexes), the procedure would be to nominate the whole index for deletion and place a deletion notice on all of its pages, rather than isolate a tiny piece of it in an attempt to set a precedent (as a "test case") for the removal of the rest of its pages — which also makes this AfD page a wrong forum. The nominator has cited no rules violations, and has instead posed alphabetical format, one of the two standard formats for lists (per list policy), as a reason for deletion (the other format being hierarchical), thus opposing that policy. In addition to this, the nominator appears to be opposed to indexes (alphabetical navigation lists) in general, in favor of categories. Note, that indexes, make up one of the navigation systems, that together, comprise the overall Wikipedia:Contents system. Both of those issues — discontinuing use of alphabetical list format, and deleting indexes just because they are indexes — go beyond the scope of an AfD of an individual page, and so, should be discussed by the wider community, if at all. Relevant policies and guidelines are Wikipedia:Speedy keep, Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates, Wikipedia:Lists, Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists, and Wikipedia:Indexes. See also: Wikipedia:Gaming the system, for further perspective. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 22:51, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Reply. This topic is so vast, an index would have to be humongous, totally unwieldy. For example, as far as I can tell, none of the 1st Division World War II entries are present. Where are the 1st Corps? First Army contains many 1st Army entries; where are they? There is a tiny fraction of the vast number of people involved. Why is Anne Frank in the A list? No Audie Murphy under either A or M? Clarityfiend (talk) 09:31, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Clarityfiend, JMWt, Thincat, and Explicit: Clarityfiend, you didn't address the speedy keep objections to your nomination. The notification should match the scope of the discussion. You're arguing to delete a huge index by posting a deletion discussion on only one of its pages, exposing this talk to a mere fraction of the index's user traffic, without posting a notice on its 24 other pages. Deleting part of an index would damage the whole, by creating a gap, without providing the visitors to the rest of it the opportunity to participate in the decision making process. A conquer-and-divide deletion nomination of one page of a 25-page index is unacceptable — it is inappropriate to attempt to delete 1/25th of such a list in a progression to delete the whole thing. It's an abuse of the AfD process, with the same effect as gaming the system... You also argued in the nomination above that the page should be deleted because it is an alphabetical list, that is, an index, which is an official type of navigation aid on Wikipedia. An AfD on a small fraction of a multi-page list is not the proper venue for discussing the applicability of an entire class of navigation article. I respectfully request that you withdraw your nomination. And I have an offer for you: we can explore the available options for improving the whole index on its main talk page, and I would be happy to collaborate with you in doing so. For example, we could look at the best indexes and index sets on Wikipedia, and assess what it would take (tools, etc.) to bring and maintain the WWII index up to that caliber of excellence, among other things. And, if, after that, you are still not satisfied, a new deletion nomination (on the whole index) can easily be posted. I look forward to working with you. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 17:01, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep though without guessing the nominator's motives I don't know whether WP:SPEEDYKEEP applies. Most likely the nominator was in a grumpy mood (I am too because I live in Britain). I don't start to follow how a "simply alphabetical" list can be "unorganized" unless it is the misplacement of items that is the problem (and "Anne Frank" is given as a not too relevant example). My reading is that the other pages mentioned are not being nominated for deletion. If more links are added to this page and it becomes too long it can be very easily split. I think WP:IDONTLIKEIT can be an entirely valid reason to be nominating for deletion but it may not persuade others. It certainly doesn't persuade me. Even if I deeply disliked an article I wouldn't then think that other people should be stopped from reading it, or other editors from improving it. So keep, rather definitely keep.

Collaborative project management

AfDs for this article:

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

After it was brought up at Teahouse I spent a while looking at this page and am struggling to verify it's a real thing that even exists. Searching for "Collaborative project management" brings up results, but most of them seem unrelated or extremely generic. It feels like a likely string of words to come up with independently (everyone loves collaboration, and project management is totally a thing).

At the very least this article is heavily WP:PROMO, but I also suspect it's not a commonly used term (for reference, I have never heard it before, and I work in software engineering, a field where it's supposedly been widely adopted). Looking through the sources I'm finding a lot of specific problems:

Besides the paper by Stuffer, which I have no access to, no source seems to reference a Dr. Rupert Stuffer in association with "collaborative project management" at all ([13])
The Mistrík et al paper ([14]) uses the term "Collaborative Software Engineering" and does not mention any other fields, despite the article claiming to be a broad industrial trend applying to at least the auto industry.
The USAID document ([15]) does not contain the phrase. The Cattani et al paper ([16]) does not contain the phrase.
The Project Management Institute article seems legit enough. It's title uses the words "collaborative project management" together, but the phrase only appears once in the article; it seems to be describing a generic thing and not the specific thing this article claims to be about ([17])

Previous AfD was no consensus, with comments noting that there definitely are discussions about elements of this article in project-driven fields. I wonder if "Use of collaborative technology in project management" would be a more accurate title, but I'm also assessing this from the perspective as it's written, where it seems to want to define and claim the existence of a general term.

I get that business terms can often seem fuzzy, but contrasting this with something like Agile software development it feels exceptionally vague. I'm doubtful this has any notability or even that it exists as a Thing and not just a buzzword with dubious meaning that varies depending on who is applying it.

Thanks for the detailed research confirmation.

I only recently learned about CPM, so I can't give a correct comment on its history, etc.

However, I will write only a few things that come to my mind.

1) The original German Wikipedia is not updated frequently.(The English version has more updates)

2) It seems to be a hot topic in the German automobile industry.

　　Siegfried Seibert: WI-Projekt.Kollaboratives Projektmanagement (Projektarbeit im SS 2008) (siegfried-seibert.de)

3) Dr. Rupert Stuffer is also named here. (although the link is broken)

　　Technische Universität München – Wikipedia

So, regarding Collaborative project management, I think it's necessary to clarify the source, but I don't think it's enough to delete the page. Mocha c jp (talk) 04:51, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. In this case a word placed next to a well known term has gotten google hits and usage in the titles of books and articles, just because that well known term is used often. This is just "Project management" when more than one person has access to the project data - it is not a distinct topic, and it should not have a distinct Wikipedia article. - MrOllie (talk) 21:02, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Continuation, My opinion is as follows. Since around 2000, the term has been mainly used in Germany, and many people have continued to edit it for a long time, so I think it is an effective term. I don't think there is anything particularly strange about the content. Dr. Rupert Stuffer is also listed at the Technical University of Munich. If this term is subject to deletion, shouldn't similar terms also be subject to deletion? Social project management, Collaborative software: Should it be called Groupware in general, should it be renamed? (Collaborative software, I've never heard of it) Agile management: The term "Agile Project Management" has not been picked up by any of the international organizations developing Project Management Standards. Mocha c jp (talk) 23:56, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Modern project management is, by its very nature, collaborative. I Googled "collaborative project management", and, while the term "collaborative" would appear, the text only referred to "project management", giving the impression that "collaborative" is a marketing term, not a technical term, and therefore, "collaborative project management" is only a buzzword which can suggest many things, depending on who is using it.

Even if this is a "thing" in Germany, is there any research on the theory or practice of "collaborative project management"? If Google is of no help in an English-language search, perhaps the German equivalent, kooperatives Projektmanagement, might turn up reliable sources, such that an English article about a German phenomenon could be created.

However, when I searched the German term, the results were primarily for a German book written by Erik Wischnewski, an astronomer: Kooperatives Projektmanagement: Strategien Zur Nachhaltigen Verbesserung Der Projektabwicklung (Cooperative project management: strategies for the sustainable improvement of project execution). Personally, I don't trust the quality standards of the German Wikipedia, and the fact that an article in German exists is no reason to have one here. That article is essentially somebody's OR. It may well be WP:TOOSOON, or it may be a passing buzzword.--Quisqualis (talk) 07:49, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmation in advance,

If it is deleted, what will happen to the contents?

Would you like to add it to the project management? (Assuming that the contents are adjusted) Mocha c jp (talk) 08:26, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Contents will be in a special administrator archive. The content is so vague that adding any of it to Project management would not improve that article, in my opinion.--Quisqualis (talk) 08:35, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will ask you for the future. Mocha c jp (talk) 10:39, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

・Shouldn't we not just add "collaborative" to "project management" but leave it somewhere as a way of thinking about the development of PM?

・Similarly, what do you think about “social project management”? Don't you think it should be deleted as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mocha c jp (talk • contribs)

Content doesn't need to be notable enough to have an entire page of its own in order to be added to another article (see WP:NOTEWORTHY) but I'm not convinced there's much on this page worth saving. There are literally zero sources for the history section (to be clear, no one is questioning whether Rupert Stuffer is a real person; we need a citation showing that the claims made about him are true), and the remainder of the content doesn't seem to describe a cohesive thing. As for Social project management, yeah, at a glance it looks like it might be worth discussing as well. Check out WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS here though; the fact that there are other pages like this one doesn't really have much bearing on the discussion of this one.

Also as a general tip on AfD discussions, this isn't a vote and it doesn't help to bold multiple things. Conventionally people tend to use bold text only in their first comment on the page, and usually use language that makes it clear what they think should happen like "Keep" or "Merge into X."

Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Was unable to find anything other than brief mentions in game reports. She seems to have played two seasons in the top-tier French league and at least one season in the second-tier along with some games for the Madagascar national team.

Keep 10 decent sources, "building's design has also been recognized by the AIA Education Facility Design Awards" indicates individual notability, makes sense for it to have its own article with photo and infobox.

  The review notes: " The formula of "James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge" is a recipe for success. Worst Case has a fast-paced storyline that keeps me in the car long after I reach my destination. Sure, there are moments when I felt that the story is too good to be true - a widow with 10 adopted children living in New York? Surviving on an NYPD paycheck? But I accepted the implausibility of it as the authors softened my sentiment by dangling the charming children right in my ears! What's great about this audiobook are the talents behind the narration."

Jon Sable

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

This minor comic book series seems to fail WP:GNG and related (WP:NBOOK, etc.). The few references in the article don't seem very reliable of meeting WP:SIGCOV and my BEFORE failed to locate anything helpful. He did get a TV series ( Sable (TV series)) which likewise seems to have very little coverage. The best I see is this. While this comic existed, it seems to have made too little impact to deserve a stand-alone article. Thoughts? Maybe a merge to the publisher, First Comics? It would be good to preserve some basic information and redirects rather than making this into a red link. Frankly, I'd be happy to see this rescued, but right now I am afraid this is mostly unreferenced fancruft/original research on an entity that does not appear to be notable. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:44, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As stated in the AfD explanatory text above, the Jon Sable comic resulted in a show on network television in the 1980s, which is a pretty good indicator that a comic book made a mark on the world. But Wikipedia's book notability guidelines don't say a TV adaptation is automatic proof of notability, so I'll also share the following proof. First a quick search pulled up critical articles about the comic, including one in Critical Survey of Graphic Novels: Heroes & Superheroes stating that the comic was one of the first of the independent and dark superhero stories of the 1980s and "helped usher in the grim and gritty sensibility that came to define the genre." In addition, there are two reviews of the series in Publishers Weekly (see link 1 and link 2) along with the comic being written about and reviewed in places like The Comics Journal (see this link for an example) and Comics Buyer's Guide (unable to link to, but you can search for it in the Wikipedia Library). It also appears there was significant coverage of the comic in the comic-industry press of the 1980s and '90s, but unfortunately very little of that is online or easily accessible. Finally, Gene Simmons is a fan of the series -- Wikipedia definitely can't delete one of Gene's favorite comics. :-) Anyway, all of that definitely proves this series meets Wikipedia's book notability guidelines. I've also added this info and these and other citations to the article.--SouthernNights (talk) 19:35, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not appear to me to rise to the level of encyclopedic notability.

There also appears to be WP:BASIC notability as a musician, as noted in the nom and sources, e.g. as a member of the Smashing Pumpkins (NYT, 2008), (SPIN, 2007), (Salon, 2018), and via the WP Library: Lisa Harriton and the infinite gladness: can a jazz cat find happiness as a rock star? If it's with the Smashing Pumpkins, that would be yes (Keyboard, 2008, via Gale, significant biographical, education, music career coverage), "Great Pumpkins" (LAT, 2007, brief note of her performance, via ProQuest 422172752). Beccaynr (talk) 23:06, 24 October 2022 (UTC) - comment updated Beccaynr (talk) 23:13, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
See, one thing I mentioned in the JoLi AfD but not here is that I'm unsure how MUSICBIO applies since she's not confirmed as a performer on the song, only a writer, and thusly I would assume she falls under WP:COMPOSER instead which doesn't mention pretty much any of these. As for what I did say, I find the memberships questionable given their brevity and only being touring status rather than studio/full membership. That Gale link doesn't work for me so I can't verify but it would certainly help her case, though the other articles only mention her briefly and not primarily which wouldn't cover notability. QuietHere (talk) 23:42, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:COMPOSER#1, she has credit for co-writing Everything Is Awesome, which is a notable composition, and WP:ANYBIO notability also seems supported by the several nominations and awards, if the WP:MUSICBIO list (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) should be read as excluding her (which I do not think the list or sources support). In addition, there is also significant coverage (with some interview) from Keyboard that can help develop the article. Per WP:BASIC, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability, and the additional sources help demonstrate the amount of time she was a member of the Smashing Pumpkins, provide some context, and demonstrate her role was mentioned ten years later, so this combined coverage appears to provide at least some additional support for her notability. Beccaynr (talk) 00:13, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - based on the rationale above by Beccaynr; she meets [[WP:MUSICBIO}} #8, WP:COMPOSER #1. She/her work has been nominated for major awards such as a Grammy, an Academy Award and a Critic's Choice award. Also meets WP:BASIC. She has also won several awards, two of which seem notable, the Hollywood Music in Media Award and the Houston Film Critics Society Award. Netherzone (talk) 14:13, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Thank you. Some comments, from my background as an international law scholar:

The Michigan Journal of International Law (not particularly read outside the United States) is a) not named 'Opinio Juris' (from what I see, they have a special section with only one publication under that rubric from 2017), and b) certainly not more notable than Opinio Juris (which has a global audience). One (imperfect) illustration of this is that the MJIL has around 900 followers in Twitter, in contrast to the 36k of Opinio Juris (blog).

A search in Google Scholar of "opiniojuris.org", which will necessarily understate the impact of the blog (because not all publication citation requirements allow for links), shows over 5k results (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22opiniojuris.org%22&btnG=).

An important factor is the prominence of the contributors to the blog: they include, quite simply, the leading international law scholars around the world.

I think it would be reflective of a U.S.-centric approach to notability to allow the U.S. blog 'Lawfare' to have an entry and not the (global) 'Opinio Juris'. Pugliese23 (talk) 13:52, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies - Opinio Juris is an imprint of MJIL. Which is arguably more notable than the blog. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 17:28, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is not. I have been researching and working on international law for 15 years (in four continents) and I never came across it. Ask any international law scholar, anywhere in the world, even in Michigan. No one would dare compare their notability. I am still finding my way around Wikipedia, do as you please. I have found that the consensus tends to form around the person proposing the deletion. I am just telling you as I see it, and I truly am an experienced international law scholar: Opinio Juris is notable. Run the metrics, check Google results, it is incredibly popular, it has nothing to do with an imprint that last published something in 2017. Pugliese23 (talk) 23:03, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When the Michigan Journal of International Law says, "MJIL's OpinioJuris imprint collects expert short-form publications on key issues in international law produced by world-renowned scholars. The views and opinions expressed in these articles are those of the authors only." they actually are talking about a London bus, right? Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:30, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know why you try to ridicule my arguments (which I know to be very strong, again, whether or not I want to prove it (in response to Raymond Kestis), I have research and taught this field for a long time), but I nevertheless reply in good faith.

They are talking about an imprint that last published something in 2017 and no one really knows. For all I know, it only published those articles by a same author. I believe if you were to ask the MJIL editorial team they would promptly acknowledge it has been discontinued. I don't really care because this article is not about that imprint.

It is curious, however, that you take that single abandoned section of the MJIL website at face value but are not satisfied by the daily posts published at Opinio Juris, nor the endless citations in academic articles or references in the media.

The discussion below got interesting and I have nothing to add, because I am new. As an academic, I would assume citations in reliable journals should count as a criterion for notability. Pugliese23 (talk) 17:17, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are three things wrong with this:

1. There is no way to verify if you are, in fact, an international law scholar. You cannot be confirmed as one unless you have proof that you are one.

2. Google searches are not a reliable way to find out article notability.

3. Opinio Juris has not attracted significant attention over time, at least according to reliable sources. Raymond Kestis (talk) 00:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  The article described Opinio Juris as a "well-known US-based legal blog", an "international law blog", and "a blog widely circulated among international law academics from around the world". The article further notes: "Opinio Juris is a US-based blog run by several academics in the field of international law. It is a forum for informed discussion and lively debate about international law and international relations. It was founded by Chris Borgen, a law professor at St. John's University Law School, who started the site with Peggy McGuinness of the University of Missouri Law School and Julian Ku of Hofstra Law School. The site debuted in January 2005."

  In a footnote, the book calls Opinio Juris "the most important international law blog".

  The article described Opinio Juris as a "top legal blog".
  Here is the full quote: "In likely his most extensive interview since becoming ICC prosecutor-designate, with top legal blog Opinio Juris on May 21, Khan recalled a story from when he joined the British bar in 1992, when the senior lawyers interviewing him “without regard to Khan’s presence in the room, began discussing whether Khan looked more Pakistani or English.”"

Agree, the Manila paper is probably the best one of the bunch, but it's rather small. The rest are passing mentions. We'd need to see a story or review in the journals to even consider it GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 12:56, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It has thousands of citations in articles published by the most prestigious university presses. A quick Google Scholar search will show them. See, e.g., Anthea Roberts, 'Is International Law International?' (Oxford University Press; p. 262, p. 239, etc.)

None of these are substantial coverage, that's the issue, these are all trivial mentions. Oaktree b (talk) 03:04, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
One last question and I will check out of this discussion, just so I learn. Wouldn't so many references in the most read newspapers around the world and an infinite number of academic articles and books (including the Roberts book I cited, which is one of the leading studies of international law as an academic field) amount to significant coverage, which I believe is the standard?

If disciplinary blogs cannot be notable, fair enough. Pugliese23 (talk) 22:55, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The WSJ in particular has one line about the blog, in an entirely unrelated article discussing the current state of affairs of the bla blah. The BBC article is about a guy in Africa working with the International Criminal Court. The Washington Post article says Mr. XYZ wrote xyz in the blog, then moves on. One line about the blog in a thousand newspapers is still trivial coverage. We need something discussing it a length (or at least a little bit). The Manila paper is the best of these. Oaktree b (talk) 17:52, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All these are is really mentions of the blog, without anything discussing the blog, other than a passage of facts (from the blog to the article in question). Oaktree b (talk) 17:53, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Wikipedia SNG veterans, is there a reason why we look at the number of citations to see if academics meet (WP:NAUTHOR #1), but we don't to judge the relevance of scholarly publications? While I agree that the GNG isn't quite met, this seems to me like an influential medium in the narrow field of international law. I can't help but wonder how much in-depth coverage traditional journals receive. Any thoughts? Pilaz (talk) 00:38, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, we've looked at citations in reliable journals in the past, some will just quote one another to boost the rating. It generally isn't the only thing used for an academic, they should have more than just a high citation number. Oaktree b (talk) 14:44, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
