The result was keep as it seems to (unfortunately, IMO) meet WP:GNG. No opinion on a rename to Steak and Blowjob Day meme or a possible merge to Valentine's Day; those can be discussed further on the article talkpage. ansh666 20:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article's subject fails notability and article fails to meet reliable sources guidelines. Dictioneer (talk) 21:54, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Sexuality and gender-related deletion discussions. Dictioneer (talk) 22:02, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Steak and Blowjob Day Meme , per SmokeyJoe in the recent DRV. In the alternative, I wouldn't be upset if it was deleted outright. There are no WP:RS which establish WP:V.
One WP:RS is Cosmopolitan, which doesn't state that it exists. The title of the article talks about Absolutely Horrible Jokes. The URL slug (which I assume is a holdover from an earlier title idea) talks about the best tweets. And the article itself only cites The Daily Beast, which is pretty low on the WP:RS totem pole.
Likewise, Huffington Post is a WP:RS for most things, but this is a short blurb in the Celebrity section, which doesn't say the holiday exists, it just says somebody is tweeting about it.
No WP:V, no article. But, it is clear that this has been making the rounds for 15 years (even if only in the Maxims and Cosmos of the world), so it does qualify as a meme, and we should talk about it in those terms. The lede (and general tone, info box, etc) of the article should also be edited to make it clear that we're not talking about the day, but about the meme. In the two sources I looked at in detail (Cosmo and HuffPo, above) both were careful to differentiate between the (non-existant) holiday and the meme. We should be equally careful. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:49, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep, I heartily disagree with the assertion that the subject fails either notability or sourcing requirements. Saying something does not make it true. The requirement for notability is If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article. The article includes 24 references, all of which are from reliable, notable, independent and differing sources. All references are specifically about the meme/day. The sources include Bild, LA Weekly, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, Gothamist, the Daily Mirror, and notable feminist writer Feminista Jones. You can see them on the article. That, clearly, ensures the notability requirements are met. There are also many other sources out there (as per the article talk page and the DRV discussion) yet to be worked into the article. I would like the nominator to be able to provide his/her rationale as to why he/she considers all these sources to not be reliable, and back up their unfounded assertion that the article fails to meet Wikipedia's reliable sources guidelines. I expect a number of WP:IDONTLIKEIT !votes on this AFD and trust that the closing administrator weighs them appropriately. Disclosure: I am the one who rescued this article and took it through DRV, where there was a strong consensus in favour of allowing recreation and where neither the notability or the reliability of the sources was disputed. fish&karate 09:27, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, welcome back to Dictioneer, whose second edit in the last three years was to nominate this article for deletion. I disagree with you strongly on this, but it's always nice to see a returning editor. fish&karate 09:29, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    No real objection to rename, although we have many, many articles about internet memes that don't end in the word 'meme'. fish&karate 08:59, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Grudging keep (with many sighs and eye rolls). Although this sounds like the sort of thing that was made up in school one day, it does appear to have staying power and sufficient coverage to ensure notability has been met. It appears to have gained some coverage in both popular and academic presses, as demonstrated by the fine sourcing. The article as it currently stands could better contextualize the topic as a cultural phenomenon in the lead, but I can not support deletion based on subject matter alone. --TeaDrinker (talk) 00:33, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment My understanding of the process (as Fish points out, I’m not a very active or experienced editor) is that as the nominator I don’t get a(nother) vote, but that I can supply more information in support of my position. My reading of WP:V suggests there are 3 components for source reliability: 1) the publisher of the article, 2) the author of the article, and 3) the article itself.
    • 1) Quality of publications: Fish listed a set of sources on the article’s talk page, many of which were used. The original draft author, Wikisaurus, commented that he had serious doubts about their quality, and I concur. Most publishers of the sources cited in the article are blogs, social media, lifestyle, and community sites, none of which qualify automatically as reliable sources under WP policy. The next largest group of sources are online tabloids, which WP policy cautions about using as reliable sources. The last group are the 3 websites devoted to the topic itself, disqualified because they aren’t independent. There are no academic publishers on the subject.
    • 2) When listed, most authors were freelancers, bloggers, or social media commenters specializing in food & drink, lifestyle, and/or sexuality topics. This doesn't disqualify the source but neither does it strengthen the case for it.
    • 3) Wikisaurus also noted that the authors speculated about the subject rather than report news about it. I haven’t found a single source that reports an actual observance or quotes a participant. In fact, many either assert that it’s fake/made up or include caveats such as “it’s unclear whether anyone has actually observed it.” Other ordinarily reliable sources, including the Huffington Post article (category, “Weird News”), simply summarize tweets and other social media posts. No one reported the subject as factual content. The closest I found were articles that, assuming the existence of the subject (and remember, many contained caveats about whether it existed), either gave opinions or summarized opinions found on social media.
    • Since there are 24 sources, I won’t go through each one here. As I get time over the weekend I’ll add a section to the article’s talk page and itemize each source and the particular problem I see with it.

Delete per TonyBallioni's comments at the most recent deletion review. I was fixing the past deletion discussions template box on the article's talk page and it gave me occasion to look at the last deletion review in greater detail and I can't help but agree with TonyBallioni. This article certainly meets most of the notability standards, but that isn't the only issue to be assessed at AfD. WP:NOPAGE is clear that, given that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, some topics do not warrant a standalone article. This topic would be much more suitably covered by a sentence or perhaps even a paragraph in a broader article about BS holidays and/or by a sentence or two in the Valentine's Day article in a section about cultural perceptions of Valentine's Day. 142.161.81.20 (talk) 03:28, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this clearly isn't encyclopaedic content. The wall of text above demonstrates that this is being forced on the encyclopaedia. However if it remains then it must move to meme, as there is no day. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:50, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
this clearly isn't encyclopaedic content. Then do enlighten us, because that's evidently not "clear" to many of the participants in this discussion.
The wall of text above demonstrates that this is being forced on the encyclopaedia. Does discussion = forcing? Or are you suggesting that the participants in this discussion lack free will? 142.161.81.20 (talk) 20:40, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep- I voted to relist at the DRV because I thought the sourcing was weakish but plausible, but I expected to vote delete in the coming AfD. Now I find myself surprised that the sourcing actually is sufficient. Hm. Reyk YO! 14:05, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Reyk: Surely sourcing oughtn't be the only thing considered. 142.161.81.20 (talk) 03:30, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We also have this wonderful shortcut that I just discovered today WP:BADIDEA, which apparently is policy, and applies in droves here. As a side note, this might be my new favourite policy shortcut. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:48, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't like it very much either, but that alone isn't reason enough to make me !vote delete. Reyk YO! 06:08, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Does WP:IDONTLIKEIT take precedence over policy? And would you agree, then, that sourcing and verifiability is not the only thing we should be considering here? 142.161.81.20 (talk) 06:19, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia isn't a place for shitty gag holidays that just happen to get human interest press because of a funny name. The GNG is not a right to inclusion, it is a rebuttable presumption, and as my IP friend above points out, this seems to be the perfect application of WP:NOPAGE. There is no compelling reason to have a standalone page, and plenty of reasons to delete (I urge anyone with admin goggles to look at the deleted histories to see what will inevitably happen here.) At most, we can give it a sentence in another article, and there is no reason to keep the text history here. I'm sure I'll get IDONTLIKEIT rebuttals, but as I'm fond of pointing out, every policy and guideline is effectively IDONTLIKEIT or ILIKEIT: at some point, consensus is commonsense. When we deal with the question of what is and isn't encyclopedic content (and thus what is indiscriminate), we are ultimately coming down to value judgements as to what does and doesn't pass the smell test. This doesn't pass that test, and in accordance with the notability guideline, it shouldn't have it's own article, even though it may meet the strict wording of the GNG. That alone is not enough to guarantee an article, and we have plenty of reasons to go with the other options available under our policies and guidelines. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:42, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    So what you're saying is "even though it meets the GNG it shouldn't have an article because I don't want it to". Yes, you're right, that is indeed wholly an argument based on your personal dislike of the topic, and should be ignored by the closer of this AFD. fish&karate 08:02, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I'm saying that the text of the notability guideline is absolutely clear that the GNG is not a guarantee of inclusion, and arguing that there are good reasons to delete it based on rational argumentation, which we are supposed to take into account in these conversations. Keep because I believe in the GNG even though I think we shouldn't have this article is a much less rational position, and should be completely ignored. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:59, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per all of the Keep points made by the above editors. Sources are adequate, which is enough to Keep. WP:IDONTLIKEIT either, as a vegetarian and near-vegan, but that can't be used to delete a page. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:01, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it can. If everyone agrees it is a horrible subject that we don't want a page on, but can't find a policy reason to delete it, then we have a consensus to delete. That is policy. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:17, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sources are adequate, which is enough to Keep. Is sourcing really the only thing that should be considered at AfD? Because our policies beg to differ. 142.161.81.20 (talk) 21:29, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Additional comment: I agree with Tony's thinking above but respect the effort Fish has put into this. A possible compromise: Fish has added S&BJ Day to a WP listicle on internet memes and included the strongest meme citation (the Feminista Jones blog post). What about deleting the article, “salting” the title (that apparently was its status for the past 12 years or so), but keeping the entry in the memes listicle with the Feminista Jones blog post as a citation? Dictioneer (talk) 15:09, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be fine with this as well. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:17, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's roughly what I had suggested, though you would probably want a fully protected redirect rather than a salted deletion. 142.161.81.20 (talk) 21:31, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have no strong objection to this. My main concern is that whatever we do, we make it clear that we're talking about a meme, and not a real holiday. We can do that by renaming this article, and some editing of the text. And keeping the listing in List_of_Internet_phenomena certainly makes sense. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:11, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep I get the IAR arguments for deletion (any WP:N argument is clearly refuted by the sources). I'd not really object to a merge given that (based on IAR/IDONTLIKEIT) I don't see a need for the article. But I really dislike removing knowledge that is well cited as it can be useful to someone. And the meme merge target doesn't make sense to me--it isn't a meme in the modern sense (or the older sense for that matter). A page on "Made up holidays" or the like (Festivus could be merged in or at least linked to for example) might make sense. So keep for now, but willing to listen to merge ideas. Hobit (talk) 16:21, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't really in the same league as Festivus, which has sources in such mainstream media as CNN, Parade, ABC News, USA Today, LoHud, NY Times, NPR, Dallas News, Time, The BBC, NewsWeek and Newsday. And while I recognize that they're not much better than blogs, three sites that purport to list holidays include Festivus (Time And Date, Days Of The Year, and National Day). That's quite a step up from Cosmo and Maxim. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I agree which is why I suggested such an article would just list Festivus (sort coverage and then a link to the full article). Though per IDONTLIKEIT, I'm not sure which I dislike more the holiday discussed in this AfD or Sinfeld :-) Hobit (talk) 20:28, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'd not really object to a merge given that (based on IAR/IDONTLIKEIT) I don't see a need for the article. With respect, you seem to be creating a caricature of the argument. The issue isn't just WP:IAR but rather WP:NOPAGE. This is a subject that could be suitably covered by a sentence or two in the Valentine's Day article. There could be a section about cultural perceptions which would discuss gendered dynamics surrounding the tradition using Steak and Blowjob Day as an example.
But I really dislike removing knowledge that is well cited as it can be useful to someone. Not liking something doesn't trump the policy WP:IINFO. 142.161.81.20 (talk) 22:37, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing stopping us having a sentence or two in the Valentine's Day article as well, discussing the gendered dynamics etc. etc. That is not a strong argument to delete this article. fish&karate 08:02, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is not a strong argument to delete this article. What about that comment led you to believe it was a wholistic argument for the article's deletion, Fish and karate? It was merely a critique of Hobit's argument. 142.161.81.20 (talk) 03:45, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are arguing for the article's deletion, 142.161.81.20, and are waving WP:IINFO and WP:NOPAGE around as reasons to do so. Don't be disingenuous. fish&karate 12:16, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please assume good faith, Fish and karate. If you are wanting to have this discussion in good faith, you would best reply to a comment that is making a more wholistic argument in favour of the article's deletion. 142.161.81.20 (talk) 03:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Why would this lead to further consideration, given that almost no one advocating for the deletion of this article is doing so on the basis of insufficient sourcing? 142.161.81.20 (talk) 07:25, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Because those sources expanded the article further. Like I said. fish&karate 08:45, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The article having been expanded is not in itself an argument against its deletion. 142.161.81.20 (talk) 03:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is sourcing the only issue we should be assessing? 142.161.81.20 (talk) 03:35, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The only actual objection seems to be IDONTLIKEIT. In all other respects it meets our usual standards for this sort of subject--the references seem more than adequate. DGG ( talk ) 00:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The only actual objection seems to be IDONTLIKEIT. And WP:NOPAGE. 142.161.81.20 (talk) 03:35, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The sourcing isn't ideal, but is sufficient. The first two sentences make clear that the day is a "satirical holiday", and "an internet meme, with little or no observance in reality" - which provides adequate context to qualify the subject. Alternately, if the page does get deleted, then I would support converting the page to be a redirect to the entry at List of Internet phenomena#Other phenomena. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:31, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We could discuss your relentless badgering too if you like. Reyk YO! 06:35, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Do tell us how asking someone a singular question once is "badgering" them. And I should note that you have yet to answer the above question. 142.161.81.20 (talk) 07:04, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You keep asking the same question over and over and over and over regardless of the answers you get. That is badgering by any reasonable understanding of the term. Even the question above, which you allege I haven't answered, is just the same one you asked me earlier with slightly different phrasing and which I already did answer. If I were to provide another response, you would just ask it again with different wording. Do not contact me again, and I strongly suggest nobody else indulge this repetitive pestering. Reyk YO! 08:40, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't address whether a standalone article is most appropriate means for Wikipedia to present the subject (see WP:NOPAGE). 142.161.81.20 (talk) 03:35, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's a dumb "holiday" but it's got enough sources to pass the WP:GNG. As for the WP:NOPAGE argument, that section of the notability guideline is primarily about if a topic would be better explained in the context of a larger page and if there's enough sources to support a standalone article. There's clearly enough sources to support an individual article, and understanding of the topic would not be improved by having this content merged onto some other page, given the nature of this "holiday". ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 03:47, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as notability demonstrated by sources. Not all sources may be good, but at least some are. WP:IAR is not a trump-card when many others dispute the action based on other pillars. It certainly relates to other articles (memes and Valentine's day), but there seems to be enough to say to make a stand-alone article than trimming down to fit in a list or other larger topic article. And it's not strictly about either one, so having a stand-alone that links to/from each is a cleaner solution (intersection topic) than having the content in one and linking from other. As long as the article clearly states that this is a made-up/parody/hoax/viral-meme thing, WP:NPOV says we write what others write rather than choosing what is real and true or what we think is important.

  • If there is consensus for redirecting, then this should actually be a merge: the dab page singles out the two topics most likely to be the intended referent of "Bayesian"; at the proposed target these are currently buried within the long list. – Uanfala (talk) 00:51, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, both procedurally and per David Eppstein's argument. Since the nominator !voted PROCEDURAL KEEP, I think the nomination is withdrawn and thus should be speedy kept. As to JHJ's comment: while the first relist viewed in isolation favoured redirect, the discussion until the second relist viewed in its entirety was balanced between keep and redirect. And, as I argued before at the discussion at Disambiguation of adjectives started by nominator, "one cannot categorically state that WP:PTM 'formally applies to some dab-like page with an adjectival title", but that instead "[i]n all cases, application of editorial judgment is required". My editorial judgment in this case is that keeping the page is less confusing and more helpful to the reader than redirecting it to any of the proposed targets.  --Lambiam 19:07, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, or maybe merge with Flanging if there's anything worth merging. WP:LISTN says that a list topic is notable "if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". I was only able to find one (borderline reliable) source which discusses a set of famous songs which feature flanging (and phasing). I don't think one source is enough to support a stand-alone list. In response to the above comments that the article is well sourced, I don't think any of the sources discuss recordings with flange effects as a group or set. They are all to do with the specific song that is being referenced. Also, many of the references don't even contain the words "flange" or "flanging"! Take [1] and [2], for example, which mention "phasing", but not "flanging". I agree with Richard3120 and Peterkingiron that, if the list is kept, it should at least be renamed from "Timeline..." to "List...", because even the one source I found doesn't present a timeline.

  • From Education, Population, and Development by Yoginder Paul Chathley

(1995): "Similarly, there are 'gotras' among Khatris (Barsain, Bargate, Changend, Thusra, Bhander), Rajputs (Agasni, Lalhal), Thakurs and Rathis (Gharti, Sakhotru, Barjati, Kulai)." Also noted elsewhere in sources over many decades. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:29, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@FloridaArmy: what other sources? If they're from the British Raj era, they're not reliable. Your mention above is just that, ie: a mention in a list. It does not come anywhere near satisfying WP:GNG, which needs a degree of in-depth coverage. - Sitush (talk) 05:03, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, noting that any book which contains In Kangra the Rathi als are said to be Barjati, Kulai, Gharati, (a Khatri al in Chamba) and Sakhotru. The Rajas used to confer the janeo on Rathis in return for presents and senices, and this is why some of them still wear it.(OCR grab) is derived wholly from Horace Arthur Rose who is unreliable due to the same Raj-era problems.Winged BladesGodric 05:16, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There are some modern references - e.g. [5] and maybe [6] seems modern. Older - [7] [8] [9] [10].

  • Comment: I have no opinion on this AfD, but re: this "keep" vote. A character based on her is only there insomuch that one of the real life members of the "Bling Ring" thieves is this subject's sister, Alexis Neiers, and the film simply chose to fictionalize one of it's essential characters as having a sister who was also involved but didn't get caught. I don't find this any more notable than any other tangential character based on a real life counterpart, e.g. if a character based on a real person is shown in scenes with their high school principal, that doesn't automatically make the person's real life high school principal notable. Also, the source for this, Yahoo Entertainment, is of dubious significance. ShelbyMarion (talk) 16:45, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So where are these sources then? let's look at the ones in the article.
1 - orgs own website, not independent
2,9,10 - orgs host, not independent
3 - page of inductee, not independent, passing mention only
4 - primary, not an independent reliable source, only mentions that someone was inductee, no other mentions
5 - page of inductee, not independent, passing mention only
6 - deaddead, not an independent reliable source
7 - deaddead, not an independent reliable source
8 - dead, may be this which only has a passing mention, not an independent reliable source
11 - shop, not an independent reliable source, passing mention only

  • Except there are not. I went through every single one in Google News. And the vast majority of them are blogs. Those that are not blogs are passing mentions in stories not about her.

I'm guessing you would also consider Blue Shirt Banter, an SB Nation outlet, a "blog" for this particular AFD, but why is it included on men's ice hockey articles and have content partnerships with Yahoo! Sports, CBS Sports, USA Today, Comcast and the National Hockey League (NHL)?
Hmlarson (talk) 00:51, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Blueshirt banter is a blog. It also fails WP:GEOSCOPE as it is a specific local blog. There is a difference between using it to source a fact and it being good enough to meet the requirements of meeting WP:GNG. I get it you will vote keep on any article that is a woman no matter how much they lack notability. I realize you are very keen on closing the gender gap and I do wish that could be the case. However, Wikipedia is not here to right great wrongs. We would delete a male player that was only sourced to the blueshirt banter blog as well. -DJSasso (talk) 16:01, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails to meet any criteria at WP:NHOCKEY and lacks the significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 17:47, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Using GEOSCOPE as a reason to delete is not a valid justification IMO. Nearly all references to sports figures are from local media, for example, Ottawa Citizen for the Ottawa Senators. That doesn't make them unreliable or the topic non-notable for using them. We would have a real issue for many articles and it would call into question the automatic approvals for many players who have not played in North America per NHOCKEY. Alaney2k (talk) 19:27, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Another problem with this nom is that it references NHOCKEY, which has not been updated to address women's professional ice hockey. Both the US and Canada pro leagues are the top-level for women's pro ice hockey. There should be, at least, a similar provision like that for the minor men's pro hockey leagues of North America, which are very similar in notability to the women's leagues. E.g. played x seasons. So, judging this article and person by that is not really doable. It's not defined, so how can you use it? It's not like it says it's not notable, it's just that NHOCKEY is unusable in this regard. Alaney2k (talk) 20:53, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • NHOCKEY isn't just for professionals, it also takes into account amateurs and coaches etc. It covers all of hockey. Women's professional hockey isn't on there on purpose. It isn't that we forgot to update it, its that there simply isn't coverage for most and there is no easy bright line other than World Championships/Olympics that signify that coverage is likely to exist. In fact I believe we took most of the top players from the last few years (that didn't already meet NHOCKEY/NOLYMPICS) when this came up a few months back and went over all of them looking for sources, and pretty much all of them could not have sources found for them. -DJSasso (talk) 23:09, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Like I said, NHOCKEY is not applicable if it does not cover an article's topic. It would cover women's professionals if it was mentioned. NHOCKEY is merely a shortcut, a presumption of notability, not a definition of notability for any article. Alaney2k (talk) 00:13, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • But it does cover the the article's topic (ie women's hockey player). If they are a women's hockey player they have to play at the world championships. Don't forget women's pro players can play for their national teams. 11 players on the current US National team have played in the NWHL. What I think you really mean is you don't like where the level is at. -DJSasso (talk) 06:00, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Fardelmann may or may not fail under WP:GNG; on that, I express no opinion. But WP:GEOSCOPE applies by its plain language only to events. It does not apply to biographies. There is absolutely no prohibition on the use of local/regional sources to satisfy WP:GNG. Coverage in small town papers might properly be discounted somewhat in a rigorous GNG analysis, but feature stories in metropolitan newspapers with full editorial independence are the bread and butter of what most sports biographies are based on. Cbl62 (talk) 22:30, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very regularly sports bios are deleted for being only covered in local papers. Though we usually use the wording of WP:ROUTINE when stating it as opposed to geoscope in the same manor city council members of smaller towns are deleted when they are only covered in their local media. -DJSasso (talk) 23:13, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike WP:GEOSCOPE, WP:ROUTINE does apply to sports biographies, but it does not contain a prohibition on the use of local coverage to satisfy GNG. Regional/local metropolitan dailies include passing references to athletes, but they also contain significant or in-depth coverage of athletes. The former coverage is ROUTINE, but the latter is not. Cbl62 (talk) 23:21, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Except that isn't how its generally taken at Afd or we would have many articles on high school or local junior athletes who get coverage as athlete of the week etc which often includes in depth articles. It is considered routine to cover the local star athlete. Now of course that also varies with the size of the city. Its much different to have an in depth article in a Los Angeles news paper than it is in a Bangor, Maine paper. -DJSasso (talk) 23:25, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have not had the same experience at AfD. In general, significant coverage in local and regional media (i.e, coverage focusing on the person as the subject of the article) is considered at most sports AfDs that I've encountered, though admittedly there are some editors (e.g., Masem, Johnpacklambert) who seem to take a more restrictive approach toward local/regional coverage. WP:NHSPHSATH is one of the few places where we have an express limitation on use of local coverage as an exclusionary standard. It is designed to avoid precisely the onslaught of high school athlete bios that you reference. Cbl62 (talk) 03:30, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe the article's subject meets WP:N or WP:ACADEMIC. Subject is a professor with some published books/articles, but doesn't have mentions in secondary sources or meets any of the criteria in WP:ACADEMIC. I started pruning out some of the fluff from the article, so editors might want to check [11] to see how the page was before I started. There are a lot of links in the page, but most of them don't include the information supposedly cited in the article, or are dead. Even if it doesn't warrant deletion, there is heavy clean-up needed. I just don't know how much would be left if the article was properly sourced, as all WP:BLP articles should especially be. Angryapathy (talk) 17:59, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question: is Professore ordinario equivalent to "Full professor", which seems to be what the current version of the page says? (It translates as "Ordinary Professor".) Or is it something higher than full professorship, such as a major chair? If it's the latter, then WP:PROF might be satisfied, but if it's the former, he needs, for example, a much higher h-index. I don't know enough about the Italian academic system. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:23, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: About it being a "major university", I looked at our page on List of universities in Italy#International rankings, and it appears to be ranked not so high. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:34, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tryptofish, I can't guess what you mean by "full professor", or indeed by "equivalent", because I don't know where you are – in my experience, different countries apply widely different standards, and have different names for those standards, and comparison is often somewhere between hard and meaningless. I purposely linked to the Italian wp article on professorship so that people could make their own determination on this. Ordinario is the top level, above associato; emerito is grander, but means "retired", as in English. The university of Urbino is a national-level "proper" university ("Università degli studi") with about 14000 students and some 500 years of history ... why I am telling you this, you can read about it here? I'm not aware of any named professorial chair in Italy, but that could just be my ignorance; in Italian, exactly as in English, "chair" (cattedra) is synonymous with "professorship" – "he holds the chair in ..." means precisely the same as "he is the professor of ...". I've edited the page, by the way. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:03, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For "Full Professor", please see Academic ranks in the United States#Most common hierarchy, and note the distinction between Full and "Distinguished, Endowed or University". Then please see WP:PROF#Criteria, criterion #5. It's clear from your answer to me that Ordinario is like "Full", and it fails criterion #5. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:12, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tryptofish, it is the highest level of university professorship in Italy. I submit that it is therefore "equivalent", at least in some sense, to the highest level of professorship in other countries such as the United States, "an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon". I note in passing, not as an argument here, that that criterion needs to be revisited to reflect a more global perspective than that of the United States, per WP:CSB. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:32, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Here would be my question, Justlettersandnumbers to try and clarify. How many Professore ordinarios are at each university? Is it just a few, or is it a large group of tenured professors? If each university has 20 or more Professore ordinarios (I apologize is that isn't the correct pluralization for Italian speakers), we would be making thousands of Wikipedia articles for all the Professore ordinarios in Italy. Angryapathy (talk) 14:47, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's equivalent to "Professor" in the US, not equivalent to "Distinguished Professor" (and at a mid-level university). WP:PROF and WP:GNG are what apply here, as they exist now, and the page is clearly one that should be deleted. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:38, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No independently notable. Whatever can be mentioned about this accident can be mentioned on the articles of the notable passengers. Tvx1 16:02, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I can see where you are coming from, but although this accident is principally notable because of Hill's death the incident itself gets plenty of independent coverage that isn't rolled up into a general article on Hill, and the deaths of the others and subsequent effect on the team do lend some degree of added profile. The article itself is already a good one, and worthwhile, and given the length of Hill's own article to include all of that information there (including maintenance logs and pilot registrations, etc.) would be overkill for this one event in his life; Hill is known for being a twice World Champion, not for dying in a plane crash. In addition, would we then have the Tony Brise page directing people to Hill's page for details of his death; a very odd and somewhat disrespectful way of handling things I feel. I agree that this article needs a better and more descriptive name (1975 Arkley Piper Aztec crash would be my vote) but it does serve a useful purpose as a standalone. This is similar to how the 2008 Biggin Hill Cessna Citation crash is used by the Richard Lloyd (racing driver) and David Leslie (racing driver) articles. In summary, I think the article as it stands is a useful addition to this encyclopedia, is a convenient neutral place to justifiably expand on the deaths of six people (two of whom have Wikipedia articles), and doesn't detract or get in the way of people wanting the more important information about Hill and Brise at their own pages. Pyrope 16:24, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's all true, but it doesn't change the fact the accident isn't independently notable. It's just a crash of a private plane during landing in averse conditions. This literally has happened dozens of times in the history of aviation. It's not a major accident in any way and didn't not have any major impact on the airline industry. If Hill hadn't been flying and thus killing himself no-one would care about this crash of an Arkley Piper Aztec. If would be just one of many that happen throughout the years. It's not notable independent of Hill and the other passengers and therefore everything important can be covered in their articles. Of course information about the event can be mentioned on Brise's article as well.Tvx1 18:01, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • And if your uncle was a woman she'd be your aunt. The fact is that Hill was killed and there has been a lot of media and authorly interest in the accident itself because of that. At Wikipedia we call this interest 'notability', and we measure it (for want of a better word) by looking for significant coverage of the article subject in respected third-party sources. Lots of this exists for this incident, appearing in national newspapers, magazines, news organizations, and books, amongst other places. They all deal with the accident as a primary topic, therefore this topic passes WP:GNG quite easily, as others have mentioned below. You are flogging a dead horse here.

  • Keep The accident was not just noteworthy for death of Hill (and Brise) but a lot of fuss at the time about unregistered aircraft and iffy pilot licence and some rather bad decision makings. Some of this makes the accident of note as well as having two wiki notable deaths. MilborneOne (talk) 17:30, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Any aviation accident article where a WP notable dies is an automatic keep. I also second Steepillow's motion for a snow closure. This article isn't going anywhere....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:47, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snow keep - not only did this accident result in the deaths of two wikinotable people, the {{Embassy Hill}} has two redlinks, Ray Brimble and Andy Smallman. Thus that is potentially four articles. There is no point in duplicating the info over these articles and that on the team, when it can all be kept in one handy place. Mjroots (talk) 18:24, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I don't agree with the premise, but any crash with a notable person has been deemed, itself, notable in the eyes of the community. By the way, what is with the "oppose" !votes? We are not voting on an ITN entry or village pump proposal.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:26, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Minor award, no independent sources. Article de-PRODded by article creator with reason "This award has become the stepping stone for the young investigator awards for mechanicians. And the recipients of this award have win other medals from engineering. People from mechanics society may concern the list of this ward. We recommend to keep this artical in Wikipedia." (On article talk page). However, this assertion is not supported by any source. Article creator also added 3 references, none of which mentions the journal. Curiously enough, the only external link present when this stub was created, a link to the journal homepage, does not even mention this reward. A Google search for "Journal of Applied Mechanics Award" gives, as far as I can see, only this article and a number of press releases of academic institutions on the occasion of one of their faculty receiving this award.

Contested Prod, however deletion rationale remains valid, namely: the player fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG.

A number of sources have been added to the article, but these are insufficient to satisfy GNG for the following reasons:

  1. vavel.com - interview of significant length, suitable in working towards GNG. Needs more though to satisfy GNG
  2. ussoccer.com - routine match reporting from primary source. Not useable for GNG
  3. ussoccer.com - routine match reporting from primary source. Not useable for GNG
  4. mexico.as.com - Article about completely different players, trivial mention of Morales at the end.
  5. ligafemenil.mx - primary source, not suitable for GNG.
  6. marca.com - routine match reporting, trivial coverage of the player scoring a goal in a single match
  7. ligafemenil.mx - primary source, not suitable for GNG.
  8. ligafemenil.mx - primary source, not suitable for GNG. Fenix down (talk) 13:53, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- Morales is notable. She was a member of the Mexican U-20 team and a member of the Mexico women's national football team from at least 2008 to 2011. On April 2, 2008, she scored two goals for Mexico against Jamaica in an Olympic qualifying match. She played 38 minutes against the US in a World Cup qualifying match on November 5, 2010. On July 5, 2011, she started and played 45 minutes in a friendly match against the U.S. She almost certainly played in other matches at the senior level, but I don't have a reliable source for those.

I think it makes sense to redirect this article to Puppet Master (franchise)#Puppet Master: Axis Termination, and use the source(s) to flesh out that section.

  • Your first ref (Nijjar) is not reliable per consensus (pseudohistory). The rest are also not reliable per general consensus about Raj sources etc. We also should not merge something that isn't sourced and has been tagged as such for some time. What you have to understand in particular is that, for example, people created "fictitious" caste groups for amateur ethnographers of the Raj era.

  • Can you point to such a discussion regarding Bakhshish Singh Nijjar? I do see that other works of his (by the same Published) are cited on Wikipedia (e.g. in Punjab Province (British India)), as well as in google-scholar (though admittedly - not widely), and his stated bio (B.S. Nijjar, M.A.; Ph.D. (History); M.A. (Punjabi); M.A. MOL (Persian); Hons. (Persian, Urdu & Punjabi); is an erudite scholar and a historian of great repute. He retired as Director, Punjab State Archives & Archaeology, Patiala where he put in 21 years of distinguished service. He was also a member of Indian Historical Records Commission, and Curator, Historical Museum, North Platte, Nebraska, USA. Presently based in California, USA, he takes keen interest in historical research and writing on its various aspects. seems passable. If deemed unreliable, there are a number of other articles that should be cleaned up.Icewhiz (talk) 11:44, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not arguing with you - it invariably ends up being pointless. He e is regularly removed from articles by other people than me (perhaps also because he was a Jat, which de facto makes him unreliable for anything to do with Jats), and in any case the page of the book that you link to is a most preposterously slim claim for notability. It is literally a name in a list. I'm pretty sure he is dead, btw - 2011 or 2012, IIRC. - Sitush (talk) 11:48, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contested Prod, however deletion rationale remains valid, namely: the player fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG.

A number of sources have been added to the article, but these are insufficient to satisfy GNG for the following reasons:

  1. ligafemenil.mx - primary source, not suitable for GNG.
  2. es.fifa.com - a lengthy interview with the player providing a reasonable level of coverage. Not sure whether an article on a player appearing on the FIFA website essentially to promote the FIFA U-17 world cup should be considered a primary source. Either way it seems to be insufficient on its own to satisfy GNG.
  3. economiahoy.mx - a very brief interview with the player containing little in the way of content specifically about the player as her comments are concerned with her team rather than herself. Fenix down (talk) 11:47, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • This has no relevance to your claim that NFOOTY "doesn't apply" — it does apply. What you are unhappy about is the fact that only players from one league meet the 'played in a fully-professional league' criterion.

Entry contains out-of-date, inaccurate and biased information. The neutrality of the article is disputed, notably the sections on recruitment of staff at East Kent College, written with an obvious bias towards that institution i.e. the line "In comparison, East Kent College have recruited at least 40 extra staff since taking over the Folkestone & Dover campuses" as this is pulled from an August 2014 Kent on Sunday article, which may have been valid at the time, but is not at all relevant now. The alumni list features people who attended during the West Kent College era, not K College era. Original author of this entry has been blocked indefinitely.

There is an existing page for 'West Kent College (2014)' - which already makes reference to the K College era within its history. The detail from both has now been merged into one entry, for context. As a comparison here, the University of Gloucestershire page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Gloucestershire) does include reference to predecessor Colleges, but these do not have their own entries e.g. Cheltenham & Gloucestershire College of HE.

  • Please read the link I posted above. It explains all my reasons and has nothing to do with OSE (consensus over hundreds of AfDs is not OSE, incidentally). And please also explain why you think the RfC applies to tertiary colleges. "resign your bit"? How quaint, but I have no idea what you're on about. Are you saying I should resign as an admin? Because I disagree with you? How very arrogant! I wasn't aware that admins weren't allowed to express opinions at AfD. New one on me. Please point me to where it says that. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:45, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't honestly think it's unreasonable to suggest that someone who is trying to use an RfC on one group of articles as an excuse to delete another group of articles (and who claimed that saying this was invalid was "dubious") may be a deletionist. It was a statement of fact, not an insult. I would also point out that it's slightly disingenuous of you to say that I started this off!. I'd like to be able to post my opinion at AfD, as is my right, without snarky remarks from the same two or three editors who disagree with it, that's all. Voice your own opinion, fine. But don't try to claim mine is somehow invalid. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:41, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not trying to do anything. I haven't even !voted, merely passed a comment because of your known misrepresentation of the RfC etc. I really don't care much forthe whole schools issue and rarely participate. It was your opening comment at the Drmies thread that got me involved on this occasion because once again it seemed to be a case of an admin not understanding consensus, which is worrisome wherever it may happen. - Sitush (talk) 12:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to point out Because extant secondary schools often have reliable sources that are concentrated in print and/or local media, a deeper search than normal is needed to attempt to find these sources. At minimum, this search should include some local print media. If a deep search is conducted, and still comes up empty, then the school article should be deleted for not meeting the GNG and Editors are not expected to prove the negative that sources do not exist, but they should make a good-faith effort to find them.; which seems to put the onus on delete !voters to do a good-faith effort to find sources. Galobtter (pingó mió) 09:21, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Editors are not expected to prove..... And, whilst I drew a blank on search of sources, I couldn't rely that the sole keep! voter, prior to you conducted some sort of search, before chiming in with the one-liner.Winged BladesGodric 10:56, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, fails the GNG. Without reliable and independent sources we can't write a quality article on any topic. Lankiveil (speak to me) 02:59, 30 January 2018 (UTC).[reply]
  • Keep Since we're all accepting the RfC, let's accept the close in its entirety, including the parts where it says that a deeper search must be conducted before deleted for not meeting GNG - At minimum, this search should include some local print media.. Certainly not every random degree-mill esque school with say a hundred students should be kept; but a college that had 25000 students...
I'll rescue this rationale with some sources, that should be enough..[21][22][23](but from one publication)
[24][25]. There's also a ref to "Private Eye no 1355 p31" in the article. Dunno how much coverage is there, though. Galobtter (pingó mió) 10:07, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Keep. I'm a bit confused by this AFD and the delete !votes. The nominator did not advance an argument for deletion, admitting that West Kent College (2014) exists as a merge/redirect target per WP:ATD, so there is that. But I'm also confused by the "Without reliable and independent sources" and "fails our gen. notability guideline" !votes. For one, AFD is not a place you just dump an article and challenge others to do the WP:BEFORE work you didn't do yourself. But be that as it may, let's just google for five minutes, shall we?
  • "K College to split after review". BBC News. 2013-03-14. Retrieved 2018-01-30. K College was formed when West Kent and South Kent colleges were merged in 2010. It employs more than 1,100 staff. About 15,000 study at the college's campuses in Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Ashford, Folkestone and Dover.
  • "College was in "a perfect storm"". Kent Online. Retrieved 2018-01-30. K College was formed in April 2010 from the merger of South Kent College and West Kent College and catered for more than 25,000 students at one point.

There you have sources that prove the school's existence and the facts, so it's clear the subject needs to be included in some form, either as a stand-alone article or within another article, but certainly not deleted. And citing an RFC about secondary schools at an AFD about a tertiary school is obviously not a good argument... Regards SoWhy 10:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A number of sources have been added to the article, but these are insufficient to satisfy GNG for the following reasons:

  1. ligafemenil.mx - Primary source unsuitable for GNG
  2. marca.com - brief interview with the player following a specific match. Actually very little content specifically about the player, more her speaking about her team. Not significant coverage of the player herself.
  3. sipse.com - very brief interview with the player. Again little content about her, her comments are focussed more on her team and thoughts on a single upcoming match. Not significant coverage of the player herself. Fenix down (talk) 10:52, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
From the sources below, although there are several which are very brief and at least one which is simply a blog, which I would not say contributed to GNG. There are a couple of lengthy sources which I had not seen before which, when added to the more minor reporting about the player probably do in this instance equate to a GNG pass.

We already have way more articles on football players than can be adequately maintained, with many on people who played in one game on a low end team in a 2nd or 3rd rate in their country fully professional league, with one source that is not better than a stat report. What we need to do is tighten the notability criteria, not loose them so we get an uncontrollable flood of articles on non-notable people. Wikipedia does not exist to right wrongs. If in the real world women's football in a particular country recieves less coverage and notice than men's football, and this is reflected in the sources, than we have to follow the sources. Wikipedia is not the place for original research and seeking to make the world a utopia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:32, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • As noted above, playing in a top league in a country does not make a footballer notable, hence why WP:NFOOTY does not include it. If it did, we wouldn't have deleted hundreds (if not thousands) of articles on footballers who play in top divisions that aren't fully professional (see e.g. the results of these recent AfDs on players that had played in top divisions).

Saff V. none of the sources you provided give any in depth coverage, they are more of passing mentions, the likes of which are quite common in the Iranian media. For example you said that this source is about the photograph, but it is not. It is the obituary or death notice of the photographer. An obituary of the photographer is not enough to make the photograph a noticeable subject. Your second source [28] is also a notice that the memorial service of the photographer will be held, it is not about the photograph. The other two sources are the same thing (i.e they have identical text) and they are talking about what happened on that day, not about the photograph. Your google search is also flawed, for example it lists The Mahabharata Secret By Christopher C Doyle, but searching inside the novel we find nothing mentioned about the picture. SO your argument is null and void. Elektricity (talk) 08:46, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Per nom as there is no notability. An event is not what is actually being covered but a picture that was taken at an event. If the event is not notable then a picture taken at the event certainly is not. The references in the article advance severe POV views such as Revolutionary Iran] used in the first paragraph to supposedly support that the "...photo was published on the front page of the Kayhan daily." but is just a biased source about the revolution. This article can't even be merged to History of the Iranian Air Force because that is an article with one verifiable source so apparently filled with original research.
  • Keep per Mhhossein's comment. The photo is not notable because of the event itself. However, a book writing about the photo itself does lend notability to the photo. Ifnord (talk) 15:11, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the AfD closure was appropriate as no consensus, I don't think admins should be strong-armed into reopening because someone didn't like the result. The article can be nominated for another AfD after some time passes. At that point it would be more clear if it has sustained notability (and has additional sources) or it does not and it would be much easier to convince others (at least me) that it fails our guidelines and should be deleted. Ifnord (talk) 01:39, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Ifnord the book called "the tumultuous photo" is not a reliable sources, as it is a throwaway propaganda book/pamphlet. This is the primary reason that all inclusions in wikipedia are subject to thier mention in WP:RS, as the book does not pass, it cannot be included, and without this book, there is no other source. Elektricity (talk) 09:17, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Mhhossein both news items are a) from propaganda sources and b) they are actually talking about the photographer (he had passed away recently) and they mention this picture as one of his prominent works. Both news outlets are known for sensational news headings. If you can provide any WP:RS we can let this matter rest. A Reliable source should be "reliable, third-party, and published with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". Your sources are neither third party, nor are they reliable. I mean no disrespect to you, but the fact of the matter is that when the photographer died, there were a lot of obituaries, and the government and the propaganda news outlets were keen to report on his achievements. This happens in all regimes like the iranian one. But this does not mean that thier propaganda is a reliable source for wikipedia articles. If this were the case, then the national news services of the North Korea are replete with "great achievements" of the "nations ultimate photographers, scientists and inventors". We do not include those, and the reason is simple; they do not have any reliable sources, the same is true here. So in a nutshell, the propaganda sources, that talk about the obituary of the photographer, cannot be used to create an article on the wiki about one of the photographers works. Elektricity (talk) 03:52, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, they are covering the photo. Regards. --Mhhossein talk 18:57, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Mhhossein actually they are puff pieces written to cover the death and 40 day anniversary of the photographer. If you can find any independent sources (not controlled by the iranian regime) that talk about this photograph, we can insert those. With this propped up by just trivial mentions and propaganda pieces of the iranian regime controlled media, it seems to me that the subject is non notable. There are many persian and Arabic sources that covered the revolution, there are countless books (English, Persian and Arabic) written about the revolution. If even after 30 years, not a single one of those academic books outside iranian regime controlled propaganda, and not a single one of the renowned historians gave this photograph any space, then we should heed the opinion of the historians and remove this from wikipedia as well. The revolution is not something that just happened and was forgotten, there are hundreds of books written about it in many languages. Elektricity (talk) 06:55, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You're just repeating your words. You've apparently got a wrong understanding of independence of the subject. You can simply search for the photo history. For example see this one saying: "Hossein Partovi’s photo of the Shah’s air force army technicians (Homafaran) in attendance at Ayatollah Khomeini’s domicile had a significant impact on the body of Shah’s army." --Mhhossein talk 20:08, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Mhhossein Your source actually strengthens the deletion argument. First of all it does not mention the photo by name, it does not call it Homsafran Allegiance or whatever, and secondly it is the very definition of trivial mentions, please read WP:TRIVIALMENTION. So You are actually strengthening the deletion argument here. Elektricity (talk) 04:51, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. None of the keep votes addressed the concerns that this failed the policy of WP:NOTNEWS, and relied solely on the notability guideline, when notability was used as only one of the rationales for deletion. The weight of the arguments in discussions is typically given to guidelines over policies, and while there can be disagreement as to when NOTNEWS applies, those supporting keeping in this discussion did not explain why this article was not covered by it. Because of that, the strength of the arguments in this case is for deletion. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:53, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It also serves to gauge the performance of the government in maintaining an efficient public transport system. Jane Dawson (talk) 13:14, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Read earlier comments, incidents on transport delays are NOT notable.

  • I am just giving my opinion why this article is important. It doesn't have to state what I wrote. This list of MRT disruptions is highly remarkable given the high accolates that Singapore received for its "efficient" public transport system. What this article needs is a cleanup to trim unnecessary details. Information pertaining to disruption start time, duration, location, reason and impact would be sufficent. Jane Dawson (talk) 02:52, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Again, details of every single disruption is not notable and content relating to the efficiency of the transit network does not need a whole article assigned just for it. Ajf773 (talk) 03:04, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Saying that there are overall complaints about MRT performance is potentially notable news (although really, who doesn't complain?) but a blow-by-blow listing of every delay in the system is a huge dump of raw data which demands analysis to be meaningful, and I note under WP:INDISCRIMINATE item 3 specifically mentions "Excessive listings of unexplained statistics", which is is an exact description of what we have here.

  • Delete A list like this, honestly, is like making a list of strikes on the London Underground, and it's really only a big thing in Singapore, while on a global standpoint it's not notable enough to warrant an article. Also, WP:NOTNEWS. R22-3877 (talk) 13:57, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Either delete, or Keep, cleanup and move to something like "List of major Singapore MRT disruptions". Including every single delay both violates WP:NOTNEWS and WP:N, and is impossible since many of the minor delays can't be sourced anyway. The only solution I see that doesn't involve deleting this outright is to get rid of all the minor delays, and expand and focus on the major ones including those before 2011. ~ KN2731 {t ⋅ c} 09:05, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The topic is notable, as demonstrated by Andrew D., and now that minor delays have been removed it is no longer an indiscriminate list. It can certainly be improved further (for one thing, what little there is on the impact of these disruptions is scattered around the article), but that is no reason to delete it.

Comment John M. Anastasatos is a known plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and in Greece as well, with many honors and recognitions during his scientific career WP:NACADEMIC, a lot of scientific presentations and publications. “Search engine statistics” is not a requirement to decide if an article should be deleted or not WP:INVALIDBIO.

Below there are the General notability guideline. I believe that this article passes all of them, and as such, should not be deleted. WP:GNG

• "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent. (Article does not fail this.)

• "Sources", should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. (Article does not fail this either.)

• "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability. (Plenty of reliable sources have been provided in this article, i.e. https://www.forbes.com/search/?q=Anastasatos#40bd379e279f)

• "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material (This has been provided as well.)

In my opinion this article has no promotional style and does not fail to the Writing style a Biography of a living person must have WP:BLPSTYLE. However I made some improvements. GogouAnastasia (talk) 17:51, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While this startup sounds like a "cool concept" and might definitely be notable in the future, at the moment it is WP:TOOSOON.

  • Delete This topic falls well short of our standards for notability. There are no indications of notability for this topic within the article, it is essentially a startup that has some seed funding and has participated in some startup competitions. The references appear to be from reliable sources (as is usual) but fail the other criteria for establishing notability. Run-of-the-mill business listings in Crunchbase and Bloomberg fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Articles that rely on company announcements and press releases fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Articles that rely extensively on "fascinating conversations", "IEEE Entrepreneurship chats", quotations and interviews fail WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND.

    • Obituaries, or worse, a single one, are not considered sufficient for a source. Depends a bit on their quality, Washington Post is good, through in this case not sufficient I think because "For three years before joining the Army early in World War II, Mr. Diggs was a writer with The Washington Post." so it seems pretty clear he got his obit there because he used to know the right people and they did him (his family) a favor. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 19:25, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - A quick search finds the Washington Post obit (which was carried in other papers, I added a link to it and to one in the Camden Courier-Post), and a dozen or so google book results[38]. The books all discuss Frank's experience in WWII as a POW and his escape. This experience was in his book, Oflag-64, which appears to still be in print, as is another of his books, Americans Behind Barbed Wire. In particular, his coverage in Dando-Collins 2017 is quite extensive, I've added that source to his page. His work writing a paper while a POW was somewhat unique, although he wasn't the only POW to do so it did receive some attention in the papers during the war, I added a link to one such report from 1944 in the Baltimore Sun. I think that these three references plus the numerous other references one can find at google books suffice to show that he is the subject of multiple in-depth reliable sources independent of the subject. His career was sufficiently interesting that I do not think 1E applies. The sources I've added and the new, longer article passes WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:NOR. Looking at the google books results I linked above, his writing on POWs may pass NSOLDIER #8 and NAUTHOR #4, although given the multiple sources, I think he passes GNG, which is sufficient.

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Internet-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 16:47, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Hi gentlemen, thanks for taking up this discussion. I'd like to bring up a few things: first, this is still a work in progress (WP:DEMOLISH, for example) and it is of high relevance to hundreds of thousands of listeners/viewers each week (myself included; I am in no way attached to the Nine Club).

As for notability, it is a podcast featuring dozens of the world's most important skateboarding personalities. Certainly, not a scientific topic, but each host meets notability criteria as do the vast majority of guests.

That said, the idea that the Nine Club "lacks sufficient coverage in reliable sources" is off for a few reasons. First, it is heavily covered in international skateboarding media (print and digital: see here for one example: http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2017/07/19/behind-scenes-nine-club-studio/ or the 64 articles on Transworld Skateboarding, an independent and longstanding print and digital publication). Yes, the page needs updated with more sources beyond the Nine Club pages. I agree. I will take that upon myself to update and improve, under each of your watchful eye. But just because there are no peer-reviewed articles that mention the show doesn't mean that coverage is not "sufficient" for notability. I am myself a scholar employed at an American research university and I must say, suggesting this page for deletion while hundreds of much more questionable pages exist strikes me as a lack of understanding the content area or the cultural weight and international import of skateboarding, its history, and media culture. --Mariano Landa (talk) 19:18, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, [still keep] I've made some revisions and included links to more than a half-dozen outside sources (journalism) in order to quelch doubts of "sufficient coverage in reliable sources." I'm aware that there is no scholarly research on the topic, and as such, I would suggest that specialist media serves to validate notability. Many subcultures do not get regular mention in major international outlets (say The New York Times or El Pais), but do get consistent and unbiased coverage from specialist media sources that are both reliable, professional, and intimately related to the subculture/demographic to which they relate. Please comment. Again, my intention is not to advertise for The Nine Club, but to highlight how this project serves as oral history archive broadcast and preserved for the skateboarding world and world at large. Mariano Landa (talk) 20:25, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, probably. Well, thanks for your efforts, and for adding sources. Sources are certainly needed. Concern must be about the quality of the sources so far added. They are definitely from the subculture which means they are unlikely to confer notability and might be considered simply unreliable. On your goals, they sound laudable but Wikipedia is not an archive, shrine, or museum. On WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, we are all painfully aware there are more things that ought to be deleted or radically pruned, and we're working on it, but their existence is no justification for adding to the list. If nothing better can be found to support the article's claims (and none of us have found any better sources) then deletion will be the right option. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:39, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chiswick et al, I thought that this was not a numeric vote, per se, but a means of discussing and proving or disproving the merits of a page based on argumentation. You've overlooked this fundamental point in the deletion debate.

A fundamental problem with the notability/sourcing guidelines is the inability to recognize robust and legitimate subcultures as appropriate content for Wikipedia. Again, I recognize that there is no scholarly sourcing related to this page. Of course there is not. I also recognize that the topic has not yet graced the pages of the New York Times. However, we are in a digital age wherein notability is not only marked by the gatekeepers of traditional print media and the sourcing norms continue to jeopardize the creation and aggregation of legitimate entries (by way of overall cultural importance and critical mass of interested and involved participants to whom the subject is highly relevant). While I don't expect any of you to rectify this, your pedantry smacks of cultural elitism more than any real justification for removal. To quote you, Chiswick Chap, in an earlier argument of yours for keeping an article: "it is not enough to assume that a poorly-sourced article is not notable"

To speak more directly to your point, a question prefaced by an example: underground but major/prominent musicians are often only written about by subcultural media. The same goes for visual artists (high culture, high art, etc.). These pages continue to exist with limited to no debate or question given that they are cited by subcultural media. Why would skateboarding media not be held to the same standard? Or is the argument that everything shy of Rolling Stone or the American Art Review coverage should be deleted? I'm sure that you must at least sympathize with this point. Mariano Landa (talk) 21:15, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We can sympathise with your (lengthy) plea for this article, and your ingenuity and diligence in searching for my quote, but I was making a far different point from what you hope I was saying in that other discussion. I was asking whether reliable sources, not yet cited, existed to demonstrate notability, as that's how we decide matters at AfD; you were hoping I was asking whether unsourceable articles on worthy topics could be notable: I wasn't, and they aren't. If you can find decent sources, I'll change my opinion: I'm not a pedant or cultural elitist, and by the way you can be blocked for using words of that kind about other editors. Lack of reliable sources is the "real justification for removal". Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:59, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Chap, You've far overstated my use of "cultural elitism" and "pedantry" and they weren't used as a taunt nor as direct insults in the context of many of the insults that I've seen imparted on other editors. As for "decent sources," there are reliable sources now: Billboard Magazine, BET, MTV News, High Snobiety, The Daily Dot. Perhaps these outlets are too modern for your tastes, but all of these outlets have broken major and serious stories in mainstream journalism and their citation of the Nine Club is a legitimation of notability. Their citing and sourcing of the Nine Club should serve to quell doubts as to the reliability or independence of sources. Not to mention the now present citation of the vast majority of major skateboard media outlets, each owned by corporate parent companies of repute. I'm still having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that any scientific journal short of Nature can be deemed sufficient if journalistic standards short of the NYT are insufficient. I get the peer review article angle on why any scientific journal would count as a notable source, but the fact that there are activities and groups that have been excluded from peer review sources (on the basis of scholarly cultural elitism) and in which no terminal degree is possible (skateboarding hardly registers within my field of cultural studies) ought to suggest that there is notability in realms beyond the scholarly or the creme de la creme of global journalism. I understand that many of you have dedicated countless hours to Wikipedia and for that I am grateful. I do however request that you open your horizons to the cultural validity of things that are foreign or even stigmatized in your corner of the world and also recognize that the sources related to these activities are valid, notable, and reputable albeit wanton of Pulitzer-holding outlets. Mariano Landa (talk) 04:28, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You write at great length. Reliable sources, however, go much wider than scientific journals. And kindly stop messing with my username. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:46, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The Nine Club is an essential and core part of skateboarding culture. To those who are not within the skateboarding scene, The Nine Club is an obscure talk show. To hundreds of thousands, though, it is a source of information and entertainment of both historical skateboarding icons, and current professionals. Additionally, the show has illuminated many of the inner working of the skateboard industry that were often only insider knowledge. If your standard is solely to have academic style citation and sources alone, then many cultural icons like The Nine Club will be missed. Themidnightwill (talk) 00:50, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Then all you people need to do is to demonstrate its WP:Notability, which you haven't. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:46, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, Chiswick "you people." Now that's an insult. That said, per your insistence that we need to demonstrate notability, let's review. Notability is determined "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list." This page checks that box assuming admission of source reliability. On to that, here's the definition of reliable sources that mark notability, which would actually include skateboarding media, in spite of the fact that it isn't mainstream"
"Reliability: The content guideline to identify reliable sources says, "Reliable sources may be published materials with a reliable publication process, authors who are regarded as authoritative in relation to the subject, or both." Sources that have published materials in print (such as newspapers and other periodicals) are reliable if their publication process is considered reliable. If these sources also publish materials online, then it is usually fair to assume that these materials have a similar publication process (see WP:NEWSBLOG). If sources publish materials only online, then their publication process and/or the authority of the author should be scrutinized carefully."
All of the skateboard publications are "published materials with a reliable publication process" that appear in print and online. Editors of skateboarding magazines are, indeed "authors who are regarded as authoritative in relation to the subject." The new sources are reliable by definition and certainly independent of the program and its founders, as they're not related to The Nine Club program.

Mariano Landa (talk) 22:38, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all, I was just indicating that I was replying to two editors. However, repeating your arguments over and over again at length could definitely be considered "tendentious editing". The problem with your sources is that they're basically in-universe with respect to the topic, which I believe we agree is not mainstream. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:38, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I don't think that we agree. "In-universe" sources would nullify thousands of pages otherwise deemed relevant. Billboard, MTV News, etc. are not "in-universe" to skateboarding. They're major media outlets. And I'm not being tendentious. I'm trying to make a point that you either don't grasp or won't acknowledge and I'm hoping that a third party will weigh in or mediate.

This completely unreferenced article is the very definition of listcruft. With no referenced definition of "surreal humor," the article can be populated with just anybody. A cursory glance at the list indicates that it's positively ludicrous. I know that "surreal" now has essentially no definition whatsoever, but this is an encyclopedia we're building and we have to have some standard of definition.

You say there's no definition of "surreal humor" but it links to Surreal humour, which is an attempt at a definition of surreal humour. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:33, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What I said is that "surreal," in its common usage, including here on WP, has no definition. The Surreal humour article offers a vague attempt, at best, of its subject. And nothing in the awful Surreal humour article justifies the existence of this list article; the small number of such "comedians" could easily be included in that article, with references. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 14:50, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Gee whiz, TOJ, who pooped in your oatmeal? While I don't like unverified and indiscriminate lists any more than the next conscientious Wikipedian, and am even OK with deleting the list as it currently stands, I think such an extreme, emotional reaction is unwarranted ("salt against this abonation ever returning"). Unverified does not necessarily mean unverifiable, and WP:Deletionism is not the answer. Surreal humor is a very real thing, existing in classical literature and art, and modern comedy. Despite the fact the word "surreal" has virtually become meaningless white noise in modern public conversation, and that on first thought it may seem (as it originally did to me) that all humor depends on absurdity, surreal comedy is a publicly recognized genre of comedy, and several comedians or comedy groups are verifiably recognized as "surreal comedians". This includes British comedians such as the cast of The Goon Show and their descendants, including Monty Python and The Firesign Theatre. The Firesigns also refer to themselves as surrealists and use the word in some of their material. The list certainly could be restored someday, properly written referencing surreal humor and cited. JustinTime55 (talk) 15:01, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Emotion has nothing to do with it. If the very few comedians on this list who are relevant can be cited, they can be included in an improved version of the Surreal humour article. But, nothing you've said here argues for keeping this list, which will be a constant target for the same sort of nonsense with which it is currently populated. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 15:00, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, I am not arguing for keeping the list, just against deleting it with prejudice. You and I are in agreement that the best course of action is to delete the list page, and move the few, verified examples into Surreal humour. Many list pages on Wikipedia are prone to being "targets for this sort of nonsense", which I think is an endemic symptom of our "List-class" rating system, which prevents lists from being quality-rated (and thus being given attention to verifiability) the same as other articles; but that's for another project discussion page. JustinTime55 (talk) 16:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- yep, this is pretty blatant listcruft. It's inherently WP:OR since there's no clear and solid definition of the term, nor any sources describing any of the people on the list as such. Reyk YO! 14:28, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Surreal humour. A brief list of examples on the surreal humour page with sources for each individual would suffice. I don't think the list should just be deleted; examples of surreal comedians add to the clarity and understanding on the definition of surreal humour. Nanophosis (talk) 16:31, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, especially regarding the fact that any comedian could be added to the list without contributing anything to a reader. I disagree with the merge proposal, currently Gilbert Gottfried is listed - that's a pretty far stretch, IMHO. I do not see the purpose of merging such a large list of names into Surreal humour. Ifnord (talk) 16:57, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sigh...No one is proposing that the entire unverified list as it now stands be merged into the article; only that a few, select, well-verified (that's the real problem, isn't it?) examples be merged into the article. I can name a few off the top of my head: Ernie Kovacs; The Goon Show, and their descendents Monty Python and The Firesign Theatre; maybe The Goodies. Any more than that certainly isn't necessary. JustinTime55 (talk) 17:07, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I certainly agree that the inclusion of Gilbert Gottfried is a stretch, and I didn't mean to imply with my merge vote that the entire list as it stands now should be included in Surreal humour. As JustinTime55 stated, a select few of well-cited examples from the current list could be included, while the poor choices (I seem to recall Will Ferrell on the list...) could be omitted. I apologize for the confusion. Nanophosis (talk) 18:24, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I clicked on the first five links. Three of the linked-to articles noted Surreal comedy in the infoboxes. Of the two that didn't, Rowan Atkinson can be sourced with Encyclopedia of Television, and Bo Burnham from Esquire. So, we're already calling these guys surreal (or could be with known good sourcing). It's worth reviewing the other entries to verify sourcing (and update their infoboxes as needed), but I think that puts to bed the listcruft issue. If any are found that can't be reliably sourced as being surreal, then take them off the list. But that's not a reason to delete. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:57, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Roy's analysis above is spot on. Usually we analyze such categories in category discussions and say: "hey, this is is slightly fuzzy for a category but a real comedy genre. Let's listify." Here it is already listified. In other words: not broken, do not fix. gidonb (talk) 22:28, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: For further consideration of RoySmith's keep argument that came in late in the discussion.
That someone listed "surreal comedy" in the infoboxes of some of these comedians is irrelevant. All that matters is how the term is defined (in this case, no definition at all, as stated above) and how it is referenced in the respective articles. As I said above, the few comedians who can be defined as "surreal," with refs to support the claim, can be listed at the Surreal humour article. That is no argument for keeping this list, which will be a constant target for unreferenced rubbish. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 14:25, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Per nom. A "List of Comedic comedians" would be only slightly less encyclopedic. I note also that the concept of a comedian being 'reliably sourced' as surreal is...well, you know. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 18:35, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. By the broad surreal definition given in the article, most comedians would qualify. George Carlin? Bill Murray? (Sur)really? Clarityfiend (talk) 00:28, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Should this be renamed to List of surrealist comedians, assuming there are comedians who specialize in surrealism? Surrealist (occupation) seems to have a lot of categories. If the list is going to be kept, it would be thought of as a category and require references showing that it is a defining characteristic of the comedian's work, and be mentioned in secondary sources as a surrealist artist, and not something they've dabbled with as most comedians have pretty much done something extraordinary or stimulate imagination.

  • Keep both — The counsel recommended using polls in accordance with fair use principles, reminding that merely republishing them without any commentary or transformation is not fair use. These lists have been republished with significant transformation (the added nationality rows, links, references, tables, styling & layout). Fair use applies here and further improvements can be made. It is also an opinion that the method used in selecting these polls indicates creativity. Also, the courts have not firmly established precedence on the matter. — Zawl 07:59, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete both the opinion of the WMF legal counsel is not the actual English Wikipedia policy. It is a footnote explaining how we reached the policy we have. English Wikipedia text copyright policy is significantly stronger than required under US law. The section Courcelles quoted was the direct application of our principles (we can't recreate these lists as a whole), but the deeper principles are actually higher up at WP:NFCCP. In particular, it fails the minimum usage criterion: the entire page is based off of copyrighted content, that is not reasonably construed as being minimal usage. Additionally, even if we took the counsel's assessment as being en.wp policy instead of the opinion that we based the policy on, this would still fail as there has not been significant transformation or commentary (flags and up and down signs don't do this). Finally, as it explains at the top of the non-free criteria page, the point here is to be a free content encyclopedia that can even be reused commercially. Nothing here could be reused commercially, and as such it falls well outside of our mission. Delete. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:04, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep - I could find no such "list" online of Bodo-language films that were not blogs or using this very same article as a source.

Contested PROD. While the version I originally tagged consisted almost entirely of the text of the poem (being of dubious copyright status), this version now indicates just that the poem exists and was written by its author. I admit I have no Korean abilities, which may also impact my ability to find other transliterations of the title, but a check I made at the time of tagging didn't give anything beyond the poem's existence, which isn't notability.

  • Delete - one peripheral reference does not establish notability.--Rpclod (talk) 02:49, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As I said when I deprodded notability is clear from the English-language sources found by Google Books and Scholar searches, for example,
"most Korean people remember him as much for being the great poet who authored Nim ui chimmuk",
"he is best known for his work Nim-ui Chimmuk",
"The best works that were produced during this time, for example “Jindalaekkot” (Azalea Flowers) by Kim Sowol, “Nim-ui chimmuk” (The Silence of Love) by Han Yong-un...".

To respond to the sources you've provided, the first appears to be a passing mention of the author of the poem. The author has his own article as it stands, since he did a number of things in his lifetime. The second is much the same, a comment that the author himself is notable, but a passing mention that he also wrote this particular poem. The third is a mention in a footnote in a broader discussion of Korean literature, which at least has the advantage of not solely being about the author and his extra-poetic activities. I'm not convinced, though, that a scholarly aside amounts to more than a peripheral mention. Even if it did, notability still requires multiple reliable sources providing significant coverage.

Nope. Not your mistake, but the move earlier was in error, done without evidence or discussion. In fact, the former name of the island remains equally/more notable than random minor video game company. Vanilla Google itself is already about half and half [and all of the company hits are here at Wikipedia, its own www.atooi.com page, its own Facebook page, and its own Twitter feed, not other people talking about it]; Google Books, there is no contest: at least 50 pages of hits for the island and absolute bupkis for the video game company; ditto Google Scholar. The majority of the clickthroughs to the dab seem to be going to the island as well rather than any clicks at all on the company page. It was a compromise leaving a dab there; if anything, the space should point at the island with a hatnote towards the company. (Honestly, with how much more traffic the island page gets than the barely-notable company, the hatnote is probably UNDUE and the dab needs to be kept IAR in order to avoid needless and inappropriate free advertising. That's a separate conversation, though.) — LlywelynII 06:52, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While the move could or could not be considered errorneous, having a disambiguation page for two entries, one of which is not even titled that way anymore, is strongly against TWODABS, as is stated above. Lordtobi (✉) 07:21, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Go reread your policy. If there's no PRIMARYTOPIC, then dabbing is precisely what we do. Planting a link to a minor commercial entity at the top of a much, much more heavily trafficked page for rule lawyerly reasons is also in violation of the much more important NOADVERTISING policy, as mentioned above. It's better to head the page with the neutral Atooi (disambiguation) link and point at the company from there. — LlywelynII 08:05, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, I did not see your good work on the Hindu Wikipedia, however I do think the policy there and the policy here are substantially different. Since the article is not blatantly promotional or obviously lacking in notability I did not think there was a strong case to delete it. I see that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IndraStra Global has dealt with your concern of user promotion on the company, and it shows that the creator used irrelevant refernces, so I looked into this article in more detail. Really this is something you should have outlined yourself as nominator, your nomination was too short and did not include the key reason for deletion, something to remember for next time. The reference list looks good, but it isn't good. In fact all the references are either written by Amrita Jash herself or mere mentions only. I will ping Frederickmwolf who commented based on my mistake. I feel that taking this into account, the article likely fails WP:GNG, does not meet WP:Author, and was created by a conflict of interest or undisclosed paid editor. It should be deleted and I have changed my recommendation to reflect that. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 10:33, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We have difficulty with lists, as the "potential for creating lists is infinite", but we tend to have difficulty defining when a list is not appropriate. WP:SALAT suggests that "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value ... For example, a list of brand names would be far too long to be of value." Which is what we have with List of Belgian beer. Yes, the scope has been limited by type (beer) and country (Belgium), but we are still faced with a fairly pointless task of listing all the beer brands in Belgium, of which there are at any given time well over three thousand (see the Belgian page on RateBeer - and those listed who have reviewed over 3,000 different Belgian beer brands; but this figure isn't fixed because new brands are brought onto the market, some brands change name, and others stop being made. Trying to list all the beers of Belgium is like trying to catch smoke. Which might be worth attempting if there were some point to it. But while there are some brands which are notable, the bulk are not. Essentially a list of the over three thousand beer brands in Belgium is WP:INDISCRIMINATE, unhelpful, and impossible. What we'll have is an incomplete and random list of beer brands, which may or may not exist this time next month. SilkTork (talk) 01:30, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please link to coverage in independent reliable sources that discuss the topic directly and in detail providing significant coverage. I don't think there is any such coverage.

Multiple child pages are not a sufficient reason for "keep". Each page is supposed to fulfill the notability criteria per WP:GNG. This one does not. And, Wikipedia is not a directory WP:DIR. NFILMS does not really apply to awards ceremonies so it was not necessary for me to bring NFILMS into the nomination. NFILMS applies to films and not awards. This was sent to AfD because the redirect was undone, which was created in the first place as an appropriate alternative to deletion.
Once the redirect was undone, I had no choice but take it to AfD. I am not going to engage in an edit war. The reason the other pages have not been taken to AfD is because those that were redirected satisfied the alternate to deletion criteria. The ones that have not been redirected did not come across my editing path. And still, those have nothing to do with this. Undoing the redirects to those pages that I redirected is premature. Stuff like this makes editing more difficult than it needs to be.
The rationale that was used to undo this redirect was not a rationale that had anything to do with notability - it said, "Where else would you like to see the best actors receiving this award? Especially the nominees, too. Nav pane itself wouldn't be sufficient." This seems rhetorical, and does not apply any notability criteria. The reason this page does not satisfy GNG or notability criteria is because the available sources are not sufficient. Take a look at the references:
  1. [41] not an independent source if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. see WP:N Also, this is not signifigant coverage, it does not discuss the topic in detail per WP:GNG . It lists award winners and says nothing about the topic.
  2. [42] The subject of this source is Viggo Mortensen who one an award. This is not significant coverage to the topic. There is passing mention of this award while it discusses several people.
  3. [43] the subject is a nomination for "12 Years a Slave" a film, not best actor. It lists other award categories but this is not addressing the topic directly and in detail... see GNG.
  4. [44] not independent coverage. This is the company behind the awards that put up this web page.
  5. [45] this covers award winners in certain categories featuring the film spotlight. This is not signifigant coverage. Best actor is passing mention.
  6. [46] not independent coverage. This is the company behind the awards that put up this web page.
  7. [47] does not cover this topic in detail - not signifigant coverage.
  8. [48] does not cover this topic in detail - not signifigant coverage.
Once again, just to be clear, notability is not inherited from film actors, directors, producers, award winning films, and other nomination programs such as the Oscars and so on. The reason WP:INHERITORG was quoted is because it seems the available sourcing seems to rely on and consist of actors, directors, etc. receiving awards. This is not coverage of the topic, this is people and films receiving awards. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:06, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep references related to actors winning the award are completely relevant to the award and cannot be included in notability is not inherited. If the awards were not notable the actors would not bother with them and no coverage would ensue Atlantic306 (talk) 15:48, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
