- Weak Keep. Leaning weak keep, because there are sources that point to significant coverage about him. I am just that not sure if there is consensus (doesn't seem like it on archived RS feed) that conclude tribuneonlineng.com or guardian.ng to be generally unreliable. Those two plus a couple of paragraphs on thenationonlineng.net, make up reason to pass WP:SIGCOV and GNG. Prof.PMarini (talk) 06:42, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: very much not notable, from the "30 under 30 list" to the typical puffy articles from Nigerian media, this individual isn't suitable for wikipedia. I'm not finding any suitable sourcing either. Oaktree b (talk) 21:43, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. I agree that the sources are significant coverage and that there's enough volume here to pass GNG. But otherwise I'm with Oaktree - these are promotional, puffy, and non-WP:RS sources. -- asilvering (talk) 18:53, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Charts not withstanding, I don't see any coverage of this song besides the short, press release-derived announcement articles every single gets (stereoboard), or entirely derivative of Eddie Vedder's promotional interviews on the Sunday Times and the Howard Stern Show (Variety). Redirection is reccomended. Mach61 23:58, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep - the album topped the US Mainstream Rock chart - that essentially means it was the most popular song at rock radio in the entire country. Beyond that, dedicated coverage was extremely easy to find:

- Normally, I'd suggest a WP:BEFORE search wasn't follows through on, but some of these were in the article already, so I'm not really sure what's going on with this nomination. This song topped multiple major song charts. Extremely bizarre to think this is the sort of song that isn't notable. Sergecross73 msg me 00:08, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Sergecross73 I clicked on literally all of these links before nominating. The People and aforementioned Variety articles fall under "derivative of interview", the Billboard articles are primary sourceing for their own chart and impression numbers, and the Rolling Stone, UCR, and Louder articles fall under PR-dervied announcements published right after the single dropped. Nothing linked here has in-depth, independent critical analysis of the song. Mach61 19:56, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Then I guess the problem is your interpretation of the notability criteria. You're setting the bar way too high. Not to mention, common sense alone should deter you from nominating WP:GOODCHART chart-toppers. The logistics of a song topping major charts and not getting the bare minimum handful of sources is exceedingly low. Sergecross73 msg me 21:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Interviews may be primary sources but once an article is "derivative of the interview" it is secondary. The Billboard articles are primary sourcing for their own chart, but the article being nominated for deletion is not Billboard's chart, but the song "Wreckage", and so Billboard is a secondary source for that topic. Rlendog (talk) 19:55, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Rlendog
Interviews may be primary sources but once an article is "derivative of the interview" it is secondary
. Not true. See WP:secondary does not mean secondhand. Mach61 23:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)- First of all, that is an essay, not a guideline. Secondly, it is consistent with what I said - a secondary source "is based on primary and other secondary source material, and may include synthesis and novel conclusions." (bold added). Rlendog (talk) 00:03, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- You are mistaken. The subject is the song, not the chart. For this subject, Billboard is not a primary source. Sergecross73 msg me 01:16, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Redirect to Dark Matter (Pearl Jam album) per nomination.QuietHere (talk | contributions) 00:10, 9 September 2024 (UTC)- QuietHere I'm quite surprised to see this response considering we generally have common readings on the notability standards, and this nomination is horribly flawed. Can you expand a bit more? This song didn't just chart, it topped multiple charts and there's no shortage of WP:RSMUSIC approved sources writing dedicated coverage centered around it. Sergecross73 msg me 00:19, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Sergecross73 I must've posted my comment at the same time as yours because I didn't see it. Seeing you put it in perspective and looking through the sources you posted, it does look a lot more convincing than I initially thought. I've stricken my vote; I think I come out neutral on the question now. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 00:30, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. Looks notable enough to me. A prominent single from Pearl Jam's latest album, and the coverage is there. Personally I don't think rock radio number-ones matter so much in 2024 (or any radio format, because everything is so online), but without that I would still find it notable enough.

- @Rlendog Which two to three sources above show the GNG beeting met? Mach61 19:41, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Most of them are, if you interpret the guidance on secondary sources correctly. Sources derived from primary sources by independent authors are secondary sources. Rlendog (talk) 19:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Consensus is unanimous that the sources I listed contribute to meeting the GNG. This is silly. Nothing but the biggest of blockbuster songs would have articles if we went by your standard. What you're proposing is simply not in line with the community's interpretation of the notability standard. Sergecross73 msg me 01:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per Wikipedia:Verifiability. I considered supporting a a selective merge/redirect to Rockit Hong Kong Music Festival because the article says, "The initial incarnation of the band appeared on stage at the final Rockit Hong Kong Music Festival, where the band was billed as Spencer Douglass." However, I decided against that because I could not find any reliable sources verifying this. I could not find any reliable sources that discuss Eastern Shadows, so I support deletion under Wikipedia:Verifiability. Cunard (talk) 11:00, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you! That's a greater number of sources than I had been able to find (my Google search for "Nazaré Confusa" was returning completely off-topic results by page 4).

- Hello, sorry if I sounded agressive but I mentioned this because if they don’t wish deletion or think it’s a fair or even possible outcome, they should not open an AfD but rather discuss the merge on the merge discussion they can open and the redirect on the talk page, or boldly redirect the page and explain why. If my advice was wrong, I apologise. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 08:15, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- WP:ATD-R:
If the change is disputed via a reversion, an attempt should be made to reach a consensus before blank-and-redirecting again. Suitable venues for doing so include the article's talk page and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

- Due to the subject's popularity, BLARing might be controversial. In accordance with BOLD, such actions should be discussed. Aaron Liu (talk) 18:19, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying. But that was and is exactly my point: why take (potentially notable or apparently popular) pages to Afds if you suggest a redirect i.e. if you think a redirect is to be considered? Just ASK competent users. Discussions can happen ON TALK PAGES OF ARTICLES: that is why they have been created. USE TALK PAGES not AfDs. (I’m not shouting, nor upset, mere emphasis). Thanks again. I’ll leave this discussion now. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 19:48, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- In practice, AfDs suggest redirects all the time. It's pretty much just accepted. See: Wikipedia talk:Speedy keep/Should we permit deletion nominations advocating for a redirect? which ended in:
Allowing the nominator to advocate redirect is current practice, and this debate shows no consensus to change that. The case is also well made that this has obvious utility in establishing an unambiguous consensus that an article should not exist in its own right, even if a redirect is appropriate.
- On the other hand:
There is a clear numerical and policy-weighed consensus that AfD is a right venue to seek for redirect(s), which have been challenged. The first attempt at redirection ought be directly attempted per our principles of being bold.
– from this discussion. Nevertheless, deciding to head straight to AfD is arguably itself WP:BOLD! Regardless, it's a fairly regular occurrence that rarely gets questioned or challenged. I don't see the harm in it, myself. GhostOfNoMeme 13:48, 9 September 2024 (UTC)- Thank you. Am I therefore correct to assume that there is no consensus regarding the question? I apologise if I was wrong or too harsh but my personal view remains unchanged: AfDs take time and efforts and involve many or at least various users; they are limited in time; my point is that they should be used for deletion and deletion only or at least only if deletion is considered a fair outcome by the nominator. Talk pages exist for a reason and if a rough consensus is reached to redirect or if a redirect is explained and unchallenged on the talk page (or boldly performed, and not challenged nor reverted, obviously), AfDs should not even be considered (imho). Thanks again, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 18:15, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Candidates for BLAR often have little attention and little page watching. Combined with the absence of a categorizing template to attract foreign attention, I expect many such talk page proposals to have little participation.To me and many others, BLAR and merging are just deletion with extra steps: slapping a redirect on it and, in the latter case, adding content to the merge target. I don't see how that takes so much more effort, why it should take unlimited time, or how the core question on whether the article can stand alone is any different. Aaron Liu (talk) 18:32, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Films/television/music..and Web etc have categorized templates; and I beg to differ: AfDs take more effort, or at least a different kind of efforts, in particular because they are limited in time (I am not saying they should not), and the core question is not the same (should we delete this#can we redirect this?). Also, people on the talk page of an article are in general more competent regarding the topic and are generally there with the idea of improving the page (and with more knowledge or more interest for the topic) (with time), not getting rid of potential crap (in a hurry). Different mindsets (in general; obviously the same persons might show up at both venues). In the present case, if this had been discussed before, that would have saved us some time, I think, as this will be kept and should not imv have come here and wouldn’t have if it had been discussed thoroughly with knowledgeable competent willing users on the talk page. Also taking the page to Afd might be disheartening for the creator and casts a shadow of doubt on the page, it is not a random let alone insignificant maintenance process and this shows through the tag (during the 8 days or 1 month of the discussion) and through the Old Afd template (unexperienced readers might see it and think ’Hey, look, wait, they say this might be rubbish’) A talk page where redirect is discussed offers none of these shortcomings, at least in my opinion as reader. Anyway, maybe this is not the place for such a long discussion, and thank you for your input and time. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 19:00, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Delete. Even considering Portuguese-language sources I was able to find, coverage doesn't seem significant enough that it can't, per nom, simply go into Renata Sorrah#Meme. A standalone article is unwarranted.GhostOfNoMeme 12:21, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Skyshifter kindly replied to share the Portuguese-language sources she had referenced some days earlier, and after reading through them I'm changing my vote. Her sources are more numerous than I had been able to find myself, and a majority appear to be WP:RS. The coverage is more than passing mention and the focus is on the meme itself; not wholly separate from Renata Sorrah, naturally, but sufficiently so in my view to establish separate notability. The Google Scholar search was an interesting avenue I hadn't thought to explore. With WP:GNG satisfied I think the article should be kept. GhostOfNoMeme 02:53, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- Keep - so ru.wiki has an article on the building per se, at ru:Особняк А. К. Ферстер — Михельсона as a historical architectural monument. I'd say that as such the notability can be established. Furthermore the article can be fleshed out with a bit of history of the embassy. --Soman (talk) 18:46, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:PERP. The latter states that an article should exist only if
the motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual
, to the extent it has become awell-documented historic event
. Neither the motivation (to increase standing in a gang) nor the execution (drive-by shooting) are unusual. That it involved children is undeniably shocking and unusual. The article Murders of Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Peña, for example, covers two young children randomly murdered as part of a gang initiation. But WP:PERP also says that historic significance isindicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role
— this is clearly not met in the case of Lil Tony. There has been no sustained coverage; the killings made the news in 2019, at the time of the event, and briefly again at sentencing in 2022, but there has been zero news coverage since. Nothing written in 2023, nothing written in 2024. Contrast this with Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Peña, killed in 1993, who have been written about extensively, with entire books (Pure Murder) dedicated to their killing, news articles ranging from the 1990s all the way through to 2024, and even a 2023 ABC documentary. In the case of Lil Tony, coverage has demonstrably not persisted beyond contemporaneous news coverage, so WP:PERP is not met. Nor does he seem notable enough to satisfy WP:GNG either, and we're definitely in WP:BLP1E territory. GhostOfNoMeme 05:50, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: No one so far argues to keep the article. Whether to delete or redirect, though, could use more input. Why keep the history?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Doczilla Ohhhhhh, no! 22:50, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Responding to the relist comment, it is useful to keep the history per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion so that non-admins have access to the content and the sources. This gives non-admins the option to reuse the content and sources to expand and source other articles like List of diplomatic missions in North Korea#Consulates general. This gives non-admins the option to undo the redirect if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future (and reuse some of the previous content) without having to ask an admin to undelete the article. The page history does not contain WP:BLP violations or copyright violations so there is no harm to retaining the redirect. Cunard (talk) 10:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- It seems to me very unlikely sources will be "found in the future" about this consulate. There's also very little useful content or sources to retain behind the redirect. AusLondonder (talk) 12:16, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- It is possible that editor who conducts an in-depth search in Korean-language or Chinese-language sources could find enough information about this consulate to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. The article contains useful information about the consulate's history and list of consuls. Some of this information could be selectively merged to another article like China–North Korea relations, List of diplomatic missions of China, or List of diplomatic missions in North Korea. There is no harm in preserving the article's history under the redirect, which is why I support retaining the history so it is accessible to non-admins. Cunard (talk) 09:58, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, redirecting makes more sense than deleting. It's possible more sources could be found in the future (North Korea hosts very few foreign consulates, so this is a pretty distinctive subject) and it's possible the material in the history could be useful for other articles. The redirect would also be helpful for navigation. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:25, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. After several relists, there is still a split between keeping and merging, and also disagreement about the target of such a merge. However, I don't see anyone (except the nominator) arguing for an outright deletion of the article, so a NC close seems appropriate.

The article also has incorporated some of the feedback given here including shifting away from listing examples to two new sections:
1) 'Mechanisms' which outlines the drivers of sellers' inflation according to this theory (information assymetry and monopoly power)
2) 'Proposed remedies' that quickly summarizes the tools proposed to address inflation under this theory (e.g. windfall profit taxes and price caps). Superb Owl (talk) 02:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I'm going to relist this once. While, numerically, more editors are arguing for a Merge, several editors believe that this subject is distinct from that of the merge target article (and one of those editors said so without offering a bolded "vote"). So, I think the difference of opinion is worth considering for a few more days.

- I think greedflation should redirect to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%80%932023_inflation_surge. It doesn't really warrant its own page. MJThomasH (talk) 15:57, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Both WP:NEO and WP:Recent as mentioned on the Merge side seem to clearly should that "Greedflation" is too recent to warrant inclusion and having its own unique article.

So I'd argue against the merge proposal as well, and support having an article specifically about the theory that corporate greed as is the main cause of inflation this decade, and discuss arguments for and against the theory. -2003:CA:8718:B9C5:6E53:FF0C:E0C7:B632 (talk) 14:13, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Next to no reliable sources discuss this character. Per my BEFORE, I found no hits in Books or Scholar and very little in News hits, and those hits had very few sources from reliable sources that actively discussed this character, and not enough to actively prove notability.

- Delete - Extremely minor character that has essentially no significant coverage in reliable sources. Not only is the character completely non-notable by Wikipedia standards, he is not even a particularly notable character within the comics themselves, never making more than a relatively small handful of appearances. Searches are bringing up nothing but the most briefest of mentions of the character - it really says something when even the official Marvel site dismisses him as one of many "lesser villains". Not every character that ever appeared in the comics needs to be covered on the overstuffed Character List articles, and this is an example of one that does not have enough notability to even be included on them.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Like it was mentioned on the talk page for the article, burnt toast theory is just the butterfly effect mixed with positive thinking. It's also not very notable, since it's really just comes from a single TikTok that went semi-viral. It might have a place as a subsection on the butterfly effect page, but I don't think it deserves a page by itself. Feed Me Your Skin (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 18:36, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think I am posting this in the correct place, sorry if not. This "theory" or whatever you want to call it is logically bogus. Yes, burning your toast could prevent you from being in a serious car accident on the way to work by delaying you. BUT, it is JUST AS LIKELY that the burnt toast delays you INTO a serious car accident and away from an otherwise safe trip to work. So there is NO advantage to burning your toast. Assuming of course that the probability of having a serious car accident is independent of your departure time. And this would be true if the delay was just a few minutes, because rush hour traffic is equally dangerous throughout rush hour. And if the "theory" comes from a single tiktok posting, that is also pretty indicative. There is a lot of garbage on the net, and tiktok in particular. One person's single post on tiktok is an extremely poor indicator of good logic or intelligence, especially given the above argument.

There is nothing notable about this man. Most of the source from the newspaper cited has nothing to do with him except ref 1. Naijaloaded and 9jaflaver has nothing to do with significant neither reliable as they were only just talking about his music and the rest source are just mere websites.

- Comment : One more question to the article creator. Who is “Muradmomi12”, a user who posted a fake template on your talk page Here claiming to have accepted the article. Is that your second account?. Remember lying won’t save you. So you can just be honest and things be sort out properly per Wikipedia policy--Gabriel (……?) 18:39, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- I wish to state categorically that I have no affiliation with the subject whatsoever. Can you check my edit history and particularly, the articles I have written and contributed to here? They cut across different interests. I am mostly interested in seeing major subjects/articles from Africa feature on Wikipedia. I am not ashamed to have that interest, but apart from that, I have no conflicts of interest in writing about the subjects I choose. I am neither paid nor employed by any of the subjects I have written or contributed to.
- About @Muradmomi12 , you need to check his edit and contribution history to know he has been warned severally about vandalism. I had no need for his approval or acceptance of my article. I am an Autoconfirmed user and have the user rights to move articles directly to mainspace. So I have no need for his/her help. If you check his history, you would notice he has been banned or blocked from wikipedia. If you compare my edit history and @Maradmomi12, our interests do not align. i would urge you rather to also check his history with yours and see if there are similarities.
- On a final note, i sense that your nomination of this article for deletion was not in good faith. It appears this is vandalism and I hereby warn you to desist. Thank You. Cfaso2000 (talk) 20:01, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your opinion on my article. The notability of the subject is proven by many mainstream independent articles as follows:
- (1) A review in major Nigerian newspapers, of his books. Four major/independent sources reviewed his book, Swim or Sink: Policy dynamics in challenging environments. His biography was also cited by these newspapers (references 1, 4, 5, and 20).
- (2) His Novel, Dead on Arrival(2013) was also featured in 2013 by Linda Ikeji(ref 17)and Bella Naija (ref 18) and also referenced in ref 1, 4, 5 and 20.
- (3) He was recognized by the British Council in 2017 (ref 12, 13)
- (4) He won a major award here (ref 14)
- (5) He also won another major award here from Alliance for Financial Inclusion here (ref 11)
- (6) He is also a musician and has an extensive discography (ref 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27). i have only included these for brevity sake. I found so many other songs he has put out.
- (7) His financial inclusion work is also covered in major independent newspapers here (ref 7,8,9,10).
- I hope this helps you to situate and agree with his notability.
- Finally, please can you check the history of edits to give you an idea of where this article has evolved from?
- Thank you. Cfaso2000 (talk) 19:53, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
On a final note, i sense that your nomination of this article for deletion was not in good faith. It appears this is vandalism and I hereby warn you to desist. Thank You.
This clearly now shows you definitely don't know what Wikipedia policy is all about neither the good faith or vandalism. You joined wikipedia 9 months ago with less than 200 edits but thats by the way. You stated “Muradmomi12” is into a different interest of editing from yours and has been vandalising but I am still surprise how he found your talk page and to post a fake approve article template of your article, since you both are of different interest, but thats by the way since you already stated you don't know such editor. When I saw that it actually looked like a deceive to the public that one of your article was accepted. So I thought it might be from your handwork to deceive the community but it's fine. Meanwhile, that doesn't still change the fact why I nominated this article. It still doesn't meet the general notability guideline. His works are not notable and this is the only thing I can found about his subject novel which still has nothing to do with him Dead on arrival. Gabriel (……?) 21:21, 8 September 2024 (UTC)- I urge you to do a check of my refutations to your nomination for deletion in points 1-7 above and go through piece by piece and make your conclusions. I address your points in this latest response as follows:
- (a) The fact that I joined Wikipedia 9 months ago and have only 200 edits is not relevant to the issue here;
- (b) I have no business with how @muradmomi12 found my talk page to post a fake "approve" article template. Wikipedia is a public place and anyone is entitled to roam the space and indulge in their interests, but that "indulgence" should be ethical, free of conflicts of interest, and not infringing on the rights or freedoms of other users to contribute to the stock of knowledge here.
- (c) Why does it look like a deception to the public that my article was accepted? because I am just only 9 months with less than 200 edits or what? Please check my edit history and other articles and subjects I have written about. Paul Oluikpe is not the first or only article or subject I have written about.
- (d) Your assertion "it still doesnt meet general notability guideline" has no proof, but merely an arbitrary/sweeping rationalization. Please can you be specific about the sources, and can you refute piece by piece no 1-7 points which i made above? Have you actually read the sources ? This can help.
- Thank you Cfaso2000 (talk) 21:37, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
(a) The fact that I joined Wikipedia 9 months ago and have only 200 edits is not relevant to the issue here;
If you had stick with the Article wizard for creation policy, your article of 2023 Philip Ikeazor won't have been nominated for an AFD by Star Mississippi. Meanwhile, I still stand by my reason and will allow other editors do their research. Have a nice day and no further response from me to you. Gabriel (……?) 21:50, 8 September 2024 (UTC)- Thank you for proving that your nomination of this article for deletion was in bad faith. I rest my case. Cfaso2000 (talk) 05:20, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Source 2 is his words at WSBI’s Scale2Save event, and likely, a press release. Source 3 is same as above and wouldn't tell us that he "works on financial inclusion". Tech finance, source 4, lacks byline and editorial standard, hence the post appears like a sponsored post. The awards are minor ad unrecognisable per WP:ANYBIO except the one from the British Council. But their count still doesn't make this article meet WP:GNG. Almost all the sources linked to Dead on Arrival, his book, are paid publication and some unreliable including Linda Ikeji's blog. Ofcourse, Nigerian world News doesn't perceive editorial policy and list works are by admin or individual. In light of WP: NMUSICIAN, the article's segment "musical work" were citations from unreliable sources per WP:NGRS. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 16:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your view. Here are my responses to your post.
- (1) The phrase "likely a press release" stays in the realm of speculation, and not a certainty. We shouldn't make conclusions on that. The issue is, does it cover the subject significantly? and is it an independent source?
- (2)Sources 2, 3, 7,8,9,10 all state categorically that he works in financial inclusion and at the central bank. The sources are Thisday, Independent, Daily Trust, Business Day, TechCabal-all sources identified in the Wikipedia list of reliable sources from Nigeria (Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria/Nigerian sources
- (4) Sources 6, 11,12, and 13 reference the awards he won. These are credible sources (Loughborough University, British Council, The Alliance for Financial Inclusion and The Punch).
- (5)Sources 1,4,5 and 20 covered extensively his book Swim or Sink: Policy Dynamics in Challenging Environments. They also ran a biography on him and also mention where he works. These sources are Nigerian Guardian, The Tribune and This Day all listed here Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria/Nigerian sources
- (6) You said "Almost all the sources linked to Dead on Arrival, his book, are paid publication and some unreliable". This is inaccurate. Sources 1,4,5 and 20 mention the novel, Dead on Arrival plus Linda Ikeji's coverage and Bella Naija coverage and reviews.
- I do believe the article should not be deleted.
- Thank you Cfaso2000 (talk) 17:52, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Cfaso2000, do not Wikipedia:BLUDGEON the AFD process or you may attract yourself a block for a short period of time. Allow other editors to express their concerns and not you, pointing to sources and policies to every likely "delete" decision. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 17:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. I thought at first that he would pass WP:NAUTHOR with reviews of his book ([10], [11], [12]) in three sources rated generally reliable by WikiProject Nigeria, but in reading the sources, it seems two of them are based on one, or they are all based on an underlying WP:PRESSRELEASE. Look in particular at the final few paragraphs, which are in some cases nearly word-for-word identical. As a result, I do not believe these to be truly independent reviews and thus no pass of NAUTHOR. I also see no WP:SIGCOV to pass WP:GNG. As for the awards, they do not qualify under WP:ANYBIO. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:47, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Gabriel601@Dclemens1971 and @SafariScribe I have overhauled the article and also provided some additional independent reference.

- What about a source I just found:
- https://www.dzkk.tsk.tr/en-US/Genel/Content/turkish-naval-forces-command ?
- It says “ Emir Çaka Bey was the first pioneer to introduce the maritime environment to the Turks. He was one of the most courageous raiders of the Seljuks, but was captured by the Byzantine Empire in 1078 when the Turks were marching towards the West. He constructed a shipbuilding facility, a kind of shipyard deemed very modern for that era. The region around this facility developed to become a naval base. Ship-constructing activities from then on commenced and the first Turkish Fleet of 50 sailing boats and rowboats was built in 1081. That year is extremely important in the history of the Turkish Navy, since it has been regarded as the foundation of the Turkish Naval Forces. In the same year, Emir Çaka Bey sailed into the warm waters of the Aegean Sea with the first Turkish Fleet.
- In 1090, Çaka Bey’s fleet confronted the Byzantine Fleet off Koyun Islands coast in the Central Aegean Sea, where a battle was inevitable.
- He commanded his fleet of 50 sailing boats by managing a series of tactical manoeuvres skillfully and the enemy fleet was struck repeatedly at its weakest points. Having suffered heavy losses, the Byzantine fleet was forced to withdraw. After this victory, Emir Çaka Bey broadened his control zone throughout seas and reached Çanakkale with his fleet. The sudden death of him in 1095 slowed down the development of the Turkish seamanship.” Chidgk1 (talk) 18:54, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

I found https://www.marxists.org/archive/altinoglu/2000/07/x01.htm but on its own that is not enough to show notability.

- Keep - TDKİH was a notable group during its period of existence. For sourcing, see for example Türkiye'de sol örgütler: bölüne bölüne büyümek (Hüseyin Aykol, Phoenix yayınevı, 2010, covering its processs from formation until merger into MLKP), Sosyalist devrim teorisi (NK Yayınları, 2005, on the ideological line of TDKIH and its polemics with TDKP), Derin sol: çatışmalar, cinayetler, infazlar, Vol. 1] (Hakkı Öznur, Bilgeoğuz, 2006, on unity process with TKIH), 50 Jahre Migration aus der Türkei nach Österreich (Hüseyin Simsek, LIT Verlag Münster, 2017, on process from split with KHK to foundation of MLKP), Cumhuriyetin 75 yılı, Vol. 3] (Yapı Kredi Kültür Sanat Yayıncılık, 1998, factoid on action at Istanbul Aksaray), briefly mentioned here, etc. Now, for an illegal underground faction that existed 1989-1994, two things need to be stressed - 1) for underground organizations that lived before WWW, the volume of online material isn't excessive. Presumably there was plenty of coverage on TDKIH actions in the contemporary Turkish press (like what is carried into the Cumhuriyet book), but it cannot be found easily online. It is possible that Albanian media covered the positions of the group as well. But there are stuff that we are unlikely to find anywhere, such as names of the leaders (as a secret, illegal group). 2) Most later accounts focus on TDKIH role as forerunner of MLKP, rather than a fully separate group. --Soman (talk) 18:17, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep There are (or were) a lot of these stub articles on different communist organisations world-wide.

Non-notable rapper. The main source appears to be a private discussion between the creator of the article and the subject. Because of this it can't be proven that the claims in the article are true. Claims made by the subject about themselves will require independent sources to confirm them.
Even if the claims are true the release of one song, a mash-up of Happy Birthday to You" and the US national anthem, on an unspecified medium, does not make them notable at this time. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:45, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- Soley because it is non-notable in english-speaking and caucasian circles does not suggest it is non-notable in Hong Kong and Asian circles. This is an act of cultural ignorance, there exists a lot of cantonese articles, physical media, and posters that reference Matthew Ho which are yet to be cited, though I do not expect a foreigner to be familiar with this individual.

- KEEP.Article on Mr. Harrell should be retained. He had and continues to have a major impact on a large community of people world-wide. His YouTube channel has over 1,000,000 subscribers that would, no doubt, search for more information about Mr. Harrell here on Wikipedia and, presumably, donate towards Wikipedia's ongoing concern. In an age of misinformation, disinformation and no information, Wikipedia often serves as the single source of information on any given subject or figure. Wikipedia needs to keep this article up and, people who know more about Mr. Harrell, especially his two self-defense incidents, should be encouraged to enlarge the pieces content.

- Delete Only coverage is on his death, a non-significant event per WP:NEVENT. Mori Calliope fan talk 02:10, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- KEEP. It does not matter that some random wikiperson never heard about him, he had 1.3million subscribers and 10million views on the "i'm dead" video. I am among the people who searched for his name because this video was in my recommended feed. Just to help those people, this page NEEDS to be KEPT!!! And if somebody claims that he was not notable, he got the same number of subs as Tim Pool and 1.3 million is not a number that is easy to reach. So again: Unless people want to purge large swathes of wikipedia, this needs to stay up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:D9:F16:2C00:9037:48EC:D688:96A9 (talk) 22:37, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:GNG and is the definition of WP:BIO1E. Mztourist (talk) 04:54, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Theres no reason to delete his article and Id hardly call him not notable considering he got 1.35M subscribers by making content about firearms related education and entertainment on youtube. He might not have appeared on traditional news outlets before his death but using this as an excuse to delete his article doesnt make any sense considering the youtuber technoblade also passed away due to cancer and only appeared on major news outlets after his death. WhyIsEveryNameTakenIJustWannaBeNamedJoey (talk) 08:33, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS, and maybe WP:BASIC. The coverage in the handful of sources isn't very substantial, a couple of news articles after one's death is not really "significant coverage", and basically the entire article is just about his death. Also, to address some other points here, there are more than 30,000 YouTube channels with over a million subscribers. They can't all be notable- one million subscribers is not what it once was in terms of channel size. Archimedes157 (talk) 21:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Paul Harrell was noteworthy in the sense that his style of teaching and communication was highly effective and far reaching. His depth of knowledge in two separate self-defense shootings as well as his experience in the Army & Marines provides ample accreditation. I would suggest expanding this article to include his background in the armed forces as well as the court documentation surrounding his successful use of self defense laws. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.111.41.238 (talk) 23:19, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Being knowledgeable and a good teacher is not itself notable enough for a Wikipedia article, nor is having served in the military. I’ve known many excellent teachers, almost none with wikipedia articles. Having successfully defended a self-defence claim is also not by itself notable as there are millions of examples across history and the globe of people who have successfully done so. Archimedes157 (talk) 21:26, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep If anything, just remove unverifiable information and move on. Most of the sources contain information not just on his death but what he was notable for. As far as I see it, it meets WP:GNG and if deleted may cause questions to arise about similar articles. It also has a good content-to-source ratio, small articles like these exist elsewhere on the English Wikipedia and could be challenged if this is successfully deleted. Some examples include the area code he was in, and multiple other biographies with a similar amount of sources. NikolaiVektovich (talk) 02:43, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep This Paul Harrell page has only been up a few days and most of the public have not had a chance to see it and add to it yet. Paul Harrell was a private person, and due to the self-defense shootings he was involved with, may have had restrictions on what he could discuss publicly. Now that he has died, those who knew him and have sources may want to add to this page. Deleting it now will prevent that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.233.166.189 (talk) 21:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Articles for deletion is not about the current state of the articles, but the potential for it to actually improve with the sources that exist out there.

The concept is fine since there are a lot of notable sketches (and sketches/characters with enough coverage to warrant mention in a list but not a standalone article), but the ones that have only appeared twice or otherwise lack context should be trimmed.

- Strong keep - He was the imperial-royal chamberlain , a court office that qualifies under WP:NPOL as a senior court official and the chief secretary of the royal household. Moreover, he also meets WP:ANYBIO criteria as he has an entry in a country's standard national biographical dictionary, the Austrian Biographical Encyclopedia (Österreichisches Biographisches Lexikon 1815–1950). I've expanded the article. Thank you. 223.204.71.128 (talk) 13:18, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- cswiki says that it was a service function in the imperial rooms, and from the 1620s it was an honorary office. This cannot be called a political function. The second argument looks better, but I prefer to let others judge. FromCzech (talk) 13:28, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- @FromCzech, Yes I agree, not like Korean inner court system; it may be an honorary office, but it can be notable. Thank you so much for agreeing with me on the second argument. Cheer 223.204.71.128 (talk) 13:33, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- In Southeast Asia's absolute monarchy systems, the head of the royal household was historically a minister of the interior. In Thailand and Myanmar, the head of the royal chamber is referred to as the "Hmanan Atwin-wun" (minister of the royal chamber) in Myanmar and the "Chief of the Royal Household Bureau" (หัวหน้าองค์การพระราชพิธี) in Thailand. These positions have the right to attend the royal parliament (Hluttaw). This is why I believe the role of imperial chamberlain in Western contexts may be similar to that of a minister, and positions held by ministers are often automatically considered notable on Wikipedia under WP:NPOL.

I PROD'd this article but it was de-PROD'd with a note to bring it to AFD so that's what I'm doing. When I did a search for sources, I just found IMDb and streaming services, along with the Wikipedia article. It looks like a direct-to-video production so I'm doubtful that there are any reviews or articles on reception of the film. There is not even a plot summary here. But I'm sure if reviews are out there, someone will bring them to this discussion. It just looks like a B-level (or Z-level) movie. Liz Read! Talk! 04:02, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- I've added a few things for verification and a link to the book. I'd rather keep this, although coverage is sparse, one source is very significant; and notable cast and director contribute to the notability of the film, which was not, apparently, a straight-to-video release. It's probably what can be called a B or a Z movie but I don't think that pages about such films are necessarily a bad idea. A redirect to its director is absolutely warranted in my view so that I am strongly opposed to the deletion of the page. Thanks.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 10:44, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to the director, Jean-Claude La Marre. The TV Guide source is a database listing that doesn't go in depth, Historical dictionary of African American cinema only has passing mentions in entries for the crew, the Parle article makes a passing mention when talking about Kenya Moore opening a hair salon, and Culture Crypt appears to be a self-published review. I don't think we're close to meeting WP:GNG here. hinnk (talk) 23:50, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- I really don't think Film Critics United would meet WP:RS, this feels like a red flag.

- Redirect to the director. There's really not a lot out there. I'd view Culture Crypt as a reliable enough source, but it's not really about the movie. The rest just doesn't seem to be enough to justify it having its own article - I did find an article talking about one of the producers, but it isn't heavy enough to really justify keeping on that basis alone. If we had a RS review for the film itself then that could do it, but there's just not enough. As it is, I think this could be summed up in a paragraph or few lines in the director's article: mainly that it was heavily funded by a politician, that it got some criticism for its depiction of voodoo, and that it starred Vivica A. Fox. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 20:17, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: This needs a closer look hence my assessment.
A 146 words articles from ThisDay does not constitute as in-depth coverage for me. Even though it has a byline, I have concerns that it is a paid job.
I have no opinion on whether London Daily News has on online presence after being defunct but the byline in this article clearly states that it was written by a “LDN Guest Post” aka contributor and is likely to have been written and submitted by the subject of the article.
This 193 words articles from Sheen Magazine credited the photo to Johnel. This is very, very likely to be a paid post.
This article on Teen Ink is clearly written by a contributor named Jon who’s profile there would remove any doubt of that being Johnel hence this fails WP:INDEPENDENT.
This articles reads like a press release to me and so fails INDEPENDENT. Further search shows that you can indeed submit a post to NMW for some few bucks (see here).
This compilation from Encomium reads just fine to me but cannot on itself establish notability as it is a marginally reliable source (according to WP:NGRS). Best, Reading Beans 16:40, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- So you're saying that the artist is a Journalist too? Maybe you should include that in the main article and back it up with a reliable source if you think so.
- Understandably, it's your opinion, but to assume and conclude that some of the sources are written by a notable artist himself and also disregard the sources that are obviously independent even when there is no indication in any of the sources that any payment was made nor it's an advertisement is just sad. This was submitted as a draft and accepted once with just one attempt because it's obviously notable. But it looks like until a 10,000-word written article from The New York Times or BBC is provided, then you might reconsider. 105.112.209.5 (talk) 20:29, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Liz, I am not implying that he is a journalist, I am saying that he is writing and submitting to these outlets! I don’t think that this needs rocket science to achieve.

Relisting comment: I'd like more consideration of the sources here since opinion is divided. I don't think a similarity in names is any evidence that an 18 year old musician has somehow become a journalist. Let's assess their value and not assume this is autobiographical writing.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 02:59, 8 September 2024 (UTC)- Keep. I am concerned about deletionism from the editors familiar with the Nigerian space. Different standards are obviously applied to independent sources. A lot of suppositions about articles being paid for, yet without evidence. There’s just too much arbitrariness or unilateralism applied. Unfortunately, articles about likely-notable subjects are constantly suppressed. I saw editors haggling over Deborah Paul Enenche as if she was obscure in Nigeria. We probably need to check why these editors with Nigerian background continue to suppress articles. Are they protecting a lucrative trade whilst at the same time alleging that subjects constantly pay media? I checked on Upwork and loads of Nigerians offering services for Wikipedia articles. 102.164.36.86 (talk) 21:10, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

- @Esthersp, not trying to badger you but the Encomium magazine article is just passing mention (among other 99 other complications) and can be used to verify an information but not to establish notability. The source from a “supposedly reliable newspaper” is a 146-word article, the last one from London Daily is written by a contributor (please, see WP:CONTRIBUTOR). Now, with this analysis, you would find it out that the first two does not count as significant coverage (please, WP:SIGCOV). For a subject to be considered notable, IMO, it needs sources that are independent of the subject, reliable and has in-depth significant coverage.

However from my experience in this topic area this one seems relatively unusual in several regards, the type of things that garner long term coverage, so I would be willing to bet it is notable (wouldn't bet my life on it).

- Again @Sir MemeGod; we’re not talking about a major metropolitan area; we are talking about rural Eastern Kentucky where this kind of stuff is practically unheard of. Such an incident is far more likely to be nationally and even internationally notable when it happens in small towns that typically don’t see violent crime; compared to major cities (eg. New York, Chicago, etc.) And (as other editors have confirmed) this is not only getting widespread local coverage (WYMT has been breaking into programming numerous times); and widespread national coverage; but this has literally been circulated by newspapers and television stations worldwide as breaking news. It has been reported by outlets in Canada, the UK, and Ireland, and likely others. So yes, it is highly notable and I’m surprised we’re having this deletion discussion right now.

- Keep I was initially in favor of deletion, but due to how this has not been resolved due to the still ongoing manhunt, I believe I was being much too brisk in voting for deletion. It is uncommon for an active shooter to not be apprehended or found for so long, even though there is the possibility the perpetrator has been lying dead somewhere since day one. This multi-day manhunt and the subsequent international reporting on the issue has warranted an article. Raskuly (talk) 21:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. It's not inherently notable every time someone uses a weapon. It's something that appeared in the news for a while, that's not notability. Revisit if it receives sustained coverage after the legal aspects have been resolved. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: @Thebiguglyalien: you might as well change your !vote now. Because it will very likely receive sustained coverage at least nationally during the case; and probably locally after the case (because again something like this is a big deal for Eastern Kentucky). This is the kind of event you’ll probably hear about on Dateline and a bunch of other true crime shows.
- What I think you all (talking to everyone on this) don’t understand is that this is a shooting that happened in a very rural part of Kentucky; a very rural part of the United States. This didn’t happen in Lexington; this didn’t happen in Louisville; this didn’t happen in Columbus; or Knoxville; or any other major city, where this kind of stuff is not unheard of. This happened in London, Kentucky which is part of the Eastern Mountain Coal Fields region. Even look at the article’s talk page. I have the Eastern Mountain Coal Fields task force listed as one of the supporters (and no, I’m not a member of said task force).
- Let me ask every one of you this: has there ever been a mass shooting, where the shooter was randomly shooting at vehicles along a busy interstate, in Appalachia? Has there ever been a similar incident to this in Appalachia? If there has, I don’t know about it.
- Mini rant over. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 09:56, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- If that come across poorly in any way; I do apologize. I’m just trying to make a point on why this is notable.
- In my main Wikiproject; I learned that in general, events like this are often supposed to meet WP: LASTING. Now the folks that told me that were mainly referring to weather events; but I know that it does apply for a bunch of things.
- This event will very likely meet WP: LASTING; just like the shooting of those police officers in Floyd County two years ago. The Allen, KY shooting resulted in at least proposed legislation (I don’t know whether or not it passed) to deter similar incidents. I would not be surprised if at there ends up being some kind of legislation proposed by at least the Kentucky General Assembly; if not by Congress itself. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 10:12, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- But for everyone who is favoring deletion based on notability (or the presumed lack thereof; please read this.
- It is too early to determine long term notability. You know what? Maybe a few years from now, it might end up turning out to be non-notable. And if that is the case; we open another deletion discussion.
- But it is way too early to make that determination of it not being notable. Especially when sources all over the world are reporting on this. Let’s wait a week or two (at least) and then reassess notability. If there isn’t at least significant local coverage by then; then I might be in favor of merging the article into the history section of Laurel County and/or Interstate 75 in Kentucky.

- Keep: While mass shootings are common in the U.S., this one stands out for several reasons: A shooter targeting random cars on a highway from the side of the road (very unusual), mass shootings are less frequent in Kentucky, it received national and international coverage, and the manhunt for the suspect is still ongoing. Johndavies837 (talk) 16:30, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- The articles on parole, probation, and judicial review do not contain the phrase "judicial supervision".
- The article Civil procedure in South Africa uses the term twice in the context of Jaftha v Schoeman and Standard Bank v Saunderson, neither of which use the phrase "judicial supervision".
- The phrase "judicial supervision of executive acts" links to Philip P. Barbour, a U.S. Supreme Court Justice in the 1800s. The article uses the phrase in an uncited paragraph: "he authored dissents in Kendall v. United States ex rel. Stokes (1838) and Holmes v. Jennison (1840). These two dissents sought to diminish federal authority by supporting Jacksonian political aspirations and opposing restrictions to state sovereignty. Kendall dealt with judicial supervision of executive acts" (emphasis added).

it's a terrible and hard-to-fix dab page
It's not just a hard to fix DAB page; it's an invalid DAB page. We are doing a disservice to readers by linking them to the South Africa civil procedure article, which appears to have invented the phrase "judicial supervision" out of thin air (if you look at the context in that article, it cited two decisions of the SA Supreme Court; the phrase "judicial supervision" appears in neither decision). Same goes for Barbour, as I explained above. I agree that this should be an article, but an uncited dictionary definition and invalid/confusing DAB entries is worse than a red link in this case. I know @Altenmann created this in good faith because he wanted someone to write an article on this, but creating an invalid DAB based on searching the phrase "judicial supervision" on Wikipedia and linking to articles that use the term once or twice without checking whether their usages are cited in reliable sources or are even valid legal concepts is not the way to do it. voorts (talk/contributions) 13:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)- <sigh> - I see nobody jumps in to improve Wikipedia here, so according to the Russian joke спасение утопающих дело рук самих утопающих (saving of the drowning men is in the hands of the drowning men themselves), I started writing the missing articles.

Article about a film, not reliably sourced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, every film is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists, and instead films must show WP:GNG-worthy coverage about them in third-party reliable sources -- but this is referenced entirely to the filmmaker's own self-published content about it, and makes absolutely no notability claim (awards, etc.) above and beyond "film that exists". And even on a WP:BEFORE search, I mostly found more primary sources -- all I found for GNG-worthy reliable source coverage was two hits in the local media of the city where the director was living at the time, of the "local man tries to make film" and "local man screens film locally" varieties, which is not enough by itself in the absence of any wider attention.

WP:TOOSOON article about an as yet unreleased film, not reliably sourced as the subject of sufficient production coverage to be exempted from the main notability criteria for films at WP:NFILM.
There are just six footnotes here, of which two are the self-published Instagram posts of one of the producers, one is a press release self-published by a funding body, and one is a glancing namecheck of the film's existence in a "submitted article" (i.e. really just another press release) about the overall film and television industry in the region where this film was shot, none of which are support for notability.
That leaves just two hits that actually represent reliable and GNG-building coverage about this film, which is not enough coverage to exempt a film from the standard film notability criteria -- the special WP:NFF criteria require a lot of production coverage, not just one or two hits.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when this gets released and starts generating reviews by professional film critics, but two hits of production coverage is not enough to already justify an article now. Bearcat (talk) 15:41, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

- Draftify. This is a nice start, but we need to think of this as less "this will release" and more "what if it never releases". If the film were to get indefinitely shelved then we have to consider if the article would pass NFILM based on its current coverage. Unfortunately it doesn't at this point in time. At present there is no set release date, so it could release this year or it could release two years from now. Or not at all. It could also be quietly released and gain no reviews. It wouldn't be the first film to receive this treatment, particularly in the horror/thriller genres. I do think that the article is a good start and it would be a shame to lose the work, so I support anyone who wants to take the article on as a draft.

Doesn't meet WP:NACTOR. Appearing during a particular filming and as an alternate role doesn't always show notability, because sometimes, those type of actors aren't covered in multiple reliable sources. And that's the see here. Appearing also in music videos doesn't show either, hence this is a prompt lack of WP:SIGCOV. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 00:10, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
