Previously soft deleted. The article has been brought back and we need to try again. Non-notable run-of-the-mill businessman. Fails WP:GNG.

Fort Huerfano

This fort does not appear to meet notability requirements, such as WP:NGEO and WP:GNG. The source that is currently on the article is a personal site by a couple. I could find no books, historical newspaper articles, or web sources. I also tried local libraries, historical societies, etc. with no luck. The only thing I could find was one newspaper mention of a man going to Fort Huerfano, one of the last Army outposts, but it didn't say what state... and this was supposedly not an Army post. There was a Fort Stevens in Colorado on the Huerfano River, though, which is in a different area than Pueblo County, where Fort Huerfano was said to be located. It is not in the book of Colorado forts, which is quite extensive. –CaroleHenson (talk) 23:36, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge. Why not just merge the content, i.e. copy the two sentences and source, to its entry in List of forts in the United States#Colorado. And edit to express appropriate skepticism, as an "alleged" fort or whatever, if you like. --Doncram (talk) 00:20, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I am not certain that the fort actually existed. The sparse information from 2 personal websites may have confused the information with Fort Stevens in Huerfano County... or Fort Pueblo.–CaroleHenson (talk) 00:26, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per above. I can be reasonably certain that the fort existed, since the one source remaining also lists Fort Stevens and Fort Pueblo in addition to Ft. Huerfano. The fact that sources are hard to come by is not shocking for an isolated fort that only existed for two years in the 1840s. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 02:29, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • That source is a personal site. I can call the county historical society and/or library in the next couple of days and see if they have it on government maps, other early maps, or other sources for it.–CaroleHenson (talk) 02:50, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Oh, I think I figured it out, 1) Huerfano County was one of the original counties, and was much larger than today's county - and it looks like the confluence of the Arkansas and Huerfano are in Huerfano county on the attached early Colorado map. 2) A map in one of the sources for Autobees shows it up by Avondale. The coordinates in the article show it on the Huerfano River just south of the Arkansas River. 3) Charles Autobees lived in Taos until 1853, but he did come through Colorado in 1847 for trade. 4) Fort Huerfano was supposedly an encampment built by Autobees in 1845 (I'll look to see if he came through in 1845, haven't seen it so far). ====> I think Fort Huerfano became the ranch/county seat Autobees in 1853. So, I just have to prove it. In that case, then it should likely need to merge to Autobees, Colorado, right?–CaroleHenson (talk) 03:48, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Autobees was in Colorado in 1842 and 1844 either headed to or would have passed through the Pueblo area. More researching to do, but I think I am on to something, just have to put the pieces together. When Fort Huerfano is called an "encampment", I am betting it was pretty informal.–CaroleHenson (talk) 04:02, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • ’’’Comment’’’ Thank you for figuring it out. And “Merge” is a regular outcome at AFD. Ready to be closed.—Doncram (talk) 14:39, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agreed. If I could set a parameter to merge with the withdrawal process, I would. I'll just wait til someone comes around and closes it.–CaroleHenson (talk) 15:00, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm not 100% sure what is going on here, although it seems a bit outside of process. Generally the steps seem to be that once everyone including the nom agrees, the AfD can be closed, and then the action is taken. In this case it looks like this article is already a redirect. It is fine to add the material to the new destination before an article is closed, but the edit summary should include mention that the material is coming from this article so that authorship can be mantained - the edit summary seemed to have been "add Fort Huerfano section" which I would have written as "add Fort Huerfano section based on discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fort Huerfano". All told, there is no problem, I'm just noting that what has happened here is not exactly what I think is how things are usually done. In any case, the real reason I'm posting here is to note that I made an article for Charles Autobees, in case anyone here is interested in that page. Smmurphy(Talk) 16:16, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Yep, agreed. I am just working on a couple of things {{Forts in Colorado}} and creating a page with a list of forts of Colorado (to be similar to the CA list) and since it seemed to be a pretty clear outcome, it just worked out that way. Good point about the edit summary for the addition of the content. It was just one sentence that got moved over, I had started with new content, so it hadn't occurred to me. As an FYI, though, I did add a merge template on the article talk page.–CaroleHenson (talk) 16:36, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
          • Soudns good. I don't think anyone is too worked up over authorship concerns for merges, but it doesn't hurt to do one's best. Also, as note to the closer, I endorse a merge. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:19, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect -- The article has already been reduced to a redirect with an appropriate target. I see no objection to adding it to a list of forts, if that is indeed appropriate, on which I have no view. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:26, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Close as merge? If I could close this myself / withdraw it as a merge, I would. Since there is no disagreement about merging this, and the merge is already done, is it possible to close this rather than having this discussion continue? There is no more information that I could find to build an article about the original encampment, which one source called "Fort Huerfano". Thanks!–CaroleHenson (talk) 15:47, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. I just made some cleanups to the article, among other things removing sources that were about a fishmonger with a similar name. She seems to have some minor local-to-San-Francisco notability (e.g. an obituary in the main newspaper of the city). There are big claims about being a founder of three notable San Francisco cultural institutions, with not much besides a mention in the obit to back them up. And the fact that she had a more famous brother should certainly not be held against her (nor should it help her case). But I couldn't find anything nonlocal, nor anything but the obituary that was sufficiently in-depth about her to justify a pass of WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:40, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It is possible to source this to GNG with e.g. this, this, this, this, this and some of the many articles in Børsen that mention the company.
    In this case, however, I doubt I will ... have time to fit rewriting and sourcing into my editing schedule. The article was started in 2006 as an undeniable promo piece by a user whose name happens to be identical to one of the founders of the company.

Not notable. The coverage is purely numismatic and largely trivial even there. More notable coins such as the 1909 S VDB penny don't have stand-alone articles. Nominating (rather than redirect) partly procedurally (as an IP made an incorrect nomination) and partly because countries other than the US have cent coins, and a redirect to Penny (United States coin) may be uncalled for. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:43, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Both. The only item of any significance is the "P" mark, and that is already included in Penny (United States coin), so there is nothing to left to merge. The specificity of the title seems an implausible redirect to me, though if others want to redirect I wouldn't object. The only sources for both articles are Coinweek, which states at the bottom that "All News, Articles, Commentary and Opinions are contributed by the author(s), with or without compensation, who are solely responsible for the content, and do not represent CoinWeek Management," which seems to indicate a lack of substantial editorial review. Even if the P mark did have enough significant coverage to technically qualify as multiple independent sources (which it doesn't), not every "notable" fact should be its own article.

WP:TOOSOON. Not enough in sources to establish general notability (most of the references presented in the article just merely mention her), and insufficient significant roles to establish notability as an actress (the Descendants films, where she's actually not in one of the major roles, are collectively taken as one film role). MPFitz1968 (talk) 17:29, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – this is equivalent to Mitchell Hope, but even more so because, unlike Hope, D'Amico is not even a "headliner" in the Descendants TV movie series. And, aside from Descendants, she has no significant roles, and so looks to be a WP:NACTOR fail. IOW, we need more than that Chicago Sun-Times profile to establish notability here. An unordered TV pilot certainly does not do that... --IJBall (contribstalk) 18:15, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • To follow up, it looks like there are a couple of good sources in there that contribute towards notability – the ABC7 Chicago one, and the Chicago Sun-Times one. If there were a couple more like that (esp. from non-Chicago media outfits), this would indeed be a borderline case. But I agree with others that this one just doesn't meet WP:NACTOR right now. P.S. I have no prejudice against Draftifying over Deleting for this one, as that was does with Draft:Mitchell Hope as well, which is a similar case. --IJBall (contribstalk) 14:03, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Hey, sorry this is my first page I've created so I'm super new to this process but I've had a read about the deletion process and stuff you guys have mentioned and I can see the points you're making. I'd like to throw my two cents in the ring as to why I think this page shouldn't be deleted. As a first, I realise she's not one of the main four leads on the Descendants films, but she is still a significant character and has been important to the plot in both films released so far. I understand her role in Descendants isn't counted as more than one role, although Descendants: Wicked World is separate from the films so that is two roles, and she is a series regular on Overnights, which is a digital series on the YouTube certified 'Brat' account. Out of the 5 episodes that have aired, two have been watched over 1 million times, with one at 1.8 million views. The other three episodes average around 600,000 views. This doesn't seem to be 'unnotable' as stated in the WP:NACTOR categories, and therefore there is three notable roles to her name, not to mention her other credits. Again, I get that the ABC comedy hasn't been picked up, but it does show hope when one considers the executive producer attached to it. Further, I have added more citations now, 6 out of the 12 refer directly to D'Amico as opposed to only mentioning her. There are now multiple news networks on there, not just the Chicago Sun-Times. Further, I added a discography section as she appeared on a promotional single for Descendants: Wicked World. I believe all the citations I've used are valid and legitimate.
Super keen to keep discussing this with you guys, I really hope you'll change your mind and let this stay. I worked really hard on finding the sources and making sure everything I have is backed up.
Out of interest, though, what does happen if this page gets deleted? I see in the Mitchell Hope page you linked it's still technically there, even though it wasn't allowed to stay. Does this page just stay in the universe somewhere or does it get deleted altogether? I'd just hate to lose all the code and references that I worked on - Emag346 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:18, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the reply. I'd really rather it stayed up, because I think it's a legitimate article. Not to throw any other pages under the bus, but in terms of other cast members of Descendants, Thomas Doherty has far less acting credentials than Brenna D'Amico and his page has been around since September 2017. Sure, he's a lead on The Lodge, but he definitely isn't a lead in Descendants, in fact D'Amico is credited before him in the credit roll at the end (and the credits are not listed in order of appearance). He has only had two roles of 'significance', not 'multiple', which seems it would go against the WP:NACTOR criteria. I'm really curious as to why this page has been picked up, and not his, especially because I see in the history of that page that you, IJBall made contributions to it, yet you have found issue with this D'Amico page.
  • This is basically WP:OSE, but I voted "delete" on Thomas Doherty at AfD, IIRC, and still feel that Doherty is also short on WP:NACTOR grounds. But the difference is that, 1) Doherty did "headline" a 2-season TV series (The Lodge) which definitely qualifies as a "significant role" in terms of NACTOR, and 2) he had multiple local press profiles (D'Amico has just the one). IOW, Doherty is much stronger on WP:BASIC/WP:NACTOR grounds. By contrast, if Mitchell Hope doesn't qualify for a mainspace article then D'Amico certainly doesn't – IOW, if this article was sent through WP:AfC, I doubt it would be accepted, just as Mitchell Hope wasn't. So I am still a "delete" on this one. --IJBall (contribstalk) 21:03, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for redirecting me to WP:OSE, I didn't know about that and I agree. As some counters to your points, D'Amico has more than one press profile, she has four that are referenced in her Wikipedia page. Further, I don't think it's fair to say if Hope doesn't qualify then D'Amico doesn't. As you said, that is basically WP:OSE, but also, D'Amico has over double the amount of credited roles than Hope, over and above Descendants, and within some of those, she hasn't been just a one episode guest (see Keys and Overnights) - Emag346 (talk)

Per WP:POLOUTCOMES and WP:NPOL. She is a candidate for office who hasn't yet won an election. There is a lot of information on this page about her journalistic career, but the sourcing doesn't pan out. Various claims are made here about how her reporting caused things to happen, but the given sourcing doesn't even mention Cockburn. If this article is pared down to information that is actually verified by sources, it would be a lot shorter, and fail WP:NPOL. Marquardtika (talk) 16:13, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Keep - While she definetly doesn't pass WP:NPOL, the article has been up for over 10 years as a result of her journalism career. WP:JOURNALIST and WP:GNG should probably be what is looked at not just NPOL. I don't know enough about journalism to determine if the several awards she has won or her contributions are enough to pass. But her recent nomination for office shouldn't be the sole focus of the afD. WikiVirusC(talk) 17:48, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is a good point. My issue is that in digging into the references about her journalism career, she is not even mentioned in almost any of them. The majority of the article fails verification, big-time, and seems to have been written either by the article subject or someone with a close connection to the article subject. I know that's not in and of itself a reason to delete, but I think there are significant issues here and questionable notability (with whatever notability guideline we apply) since hardly any of the content is in fact verified by the sources. Marquardtika (talk) 18:56, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I definitely agree that some of the claims of the impact of her works need to be sourced better to be verified, or reworded to have a better POV. Either way that does need to be fixed. Aside from the awards she has won listed in the article, I have also found that she has won two News & Documentary Emmy Awards/ [3][4]. Included with others, she has won journalism awards in 80s, 90s, and 2000s, so as of right now I'm leaning towards a keep, but was gonna do a bit more research into her contributions, as some of the info out there is over 30 years old, and some sources will take more effort than I have right now to find.

  • Keep The Emmys satisfy ANYBIO, no? That she’s also running for office is certainly not disqualifying of other means of passing. Innisfree987 (talk) 01:07, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A candidate article largely about her journalist career: [5] and multiple C-SPAN appearances as an author: [6] I haven't gone deeper and a lot of the early before hits are about her campaign, but ignoring her candidacy it seems fairly clear she seems like she'd likely pass WP:GNG for her journalism. SportingFlyer talk 18:11, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep I improved this article by improving the sourcing, adding some information, and trimming it down in places. Even if you ignore her candidacy, WP:ANYBIO says a person may be notable if "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times." A documentary she produced won an Emmy, and others have been nominated for Emmys. WP:JOURNALIST says a journalist may be notable if "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work" or if their work "has won significant critical attention." I think both apply here because she's produced multiple investigative news documentaries that have received significant positive press in national newspapers over the course of years. Lonehexagon (talk) 01:38, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lonehexagon, thank you for your massive improvements to this article. I think that the Emmy does meet ANYBIO. It seems like she's notable for the journalistic career, not the congressional candidacy. The page was just so very bad it was hard to wade through it. Anyway, since no one else has supported deletion and since I no longer do, someone can come along and close this as "keep."

There is no strong consensus about the subject's notability, but there is a consensus that the article as currently written is not neutral (due to excessive weight being placed on a negative event) and therefore possibly a BLP issue. As the subject has expressed concerns regarding this to Oversight, I am closing this as delete. This is without prejudice to the creation of a new article that is BLP-compliant and which clearly demonstrates notability - this should be worked on in draft or userspace and not restored to the article namespace without consensus.

Using "The role is not so notable that all holders have articles" as the main argument for deletion is an obvious circular argument.

And if he was Archbishop of Canterbury then there would be nothing to argue about, but he's not.

Guy (Help!) 18:09, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I'll first declare that I created this article. Firstly, this is not a WP:BLP1E: I created this article because he was Principal of St Chad's College, Durham, not because of the controversy surrounding his resignation. Secondly, as already stated by Johnbod, all the principals not having articles is not because it is not a notable position but because I (and other editors who operate in this sphere) haven't got round to creating them. St Chad's College and St John's College, Durham have special statuses with Durham University: They are independent, teaching and research institutions. As a side note, all but one of St John's principals have articles. Therefore the heading of St Chad's throws in a of WP:PROF. He also has an entry in Who's Who (the sister publication of the Dictionary of National Biography for those still living) and he therefore qualifies via WP:ANYBIO. It is not a WP:COATRACK article nor is it an attack page: his falsified CV is mentioned in the introduction because its a summary of his career, in the education section because he was falsifying degrees, and in the career section because it lost him a job; there is also content throughout that in unrelated to that incident. Perhaps rewording is required but not deletion. The "controversial" content is fully cited with reliable sources. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 20:24, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete being the head of a consituent college of a university is not a sign of notability, it does not pass notability guidelines for academics. Nothing else rises to the level of notability either.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:19, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I must declare a COI as I know the subject. The 'facts" in this piece are debatable as I've demonstrated that he was not falsifying degrees, nor had any need to (as the college board itself stated). It did not cost him his job as the college was still in full support of him as correspondence would show. My attempts to give proof of his degrees has been rebuffed though the proof is on the talk page. It would seem better to just delete if a fair representation can't be agreed on. Phoenixpreacher (talk) 15:51, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but rebalance in line with BLP guidelines. To me, this person's notability is not in doubt; he has an entry in Who's Who, which is published by Oxford University Press, is selective and is usually taken to be a strong indicator of notability. The University of Durham is, after Oxbridge and arguably the main London universities, one of England's most prestigious centres of learning, and St Chad's one of its most prestigious colleges; as our article summarises it has the "largest staff, extensive college library facilities, and among the highest undergraduate academic results in Durham" compared to its 16 other colleges. I wonder if perhaps there is some disparity between US conceptions of academic rank and those used by the admittedly peculiar collegiate system at Durham? Otherwise, I struggle to see how there can be much doubt of Arnold's notability; indeed, because St Chad's is an independent teaching institution, he passes WP:NACADEMIC's criteria number 6 ("The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.") Now, the major point brought up above is whether the CV issue and its media coverage adds to notability; I think some brief mention of the problem ought to be kept in the article but it does need balancing out. However, that is really for the talk page. What does establish notability (I think conclusively) for the purposes of this AfD is the following list of articles in peer-reviewed academic journals where Arnold's work is the subject:
The Early Episcopal Career of Athanasius of Alexandria (1991)
  • Review by Rodolph Yanney in Journal of Early Christian Studies (vol. 1, no.3, 1992, pp. 317-319)
  • Review by T. D. Barnes in The Catholic Historical Review (vol. 78, no. 1, 1992, pp. 100-101)
  • Review by Gerard H. Ettlinger in Theological Studies (vol. 53, no. 1, 1992, p. 181).
  • Review by Michael Dimaio Jr in The Classical World (vol. 85, no. 3, 1992, p. 245)
  • Review by Chr. Schäublin in Museum Helveticum (vol. 49, no. 4, 1992, p. 266).
De Doctrina Christiana. A Classic of Western Civilization (1994)
  • Review by John Kelvin Coyle in Journal of Early Christian Studies (vol. 4, no. 4, 1996, pp. 538-539)
  • Review by Thomas Renna in Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture (vol. 66, no. 2, 1997, pp. 313-314)
  • Review by Roger Green in International Journal of the Classical Tradition (vol. 6, no. 1, 1999, pp. 117-121)
  • Review by Andrew Louth in Heythrop Journal (vol. 39, no. 4, p. 439)
  • Review by Heinrich Marti in Museum Helveticum (vol. 53, no. 4, 1996, p. 332)
There are likely more, but an initial search for these two books has turned up 10 separate book reviews which would substantially add to Arnold's article and, I think, seal the deal when it comes to notability (that is, on top of the Who's Who entry and the academic post).

90% of the coverage is about the CV falsification. Guy (Help!) 13:36, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Guy, where or not that is true (and I do agree that the balance of this article is wrong), it actually has nothing to do with my comment. I pointed out that, even if one totally removed the CV issue, then the reviews I've listed + his Who's Who entry are still enough to pass GNG, plus his position which meets WP:PROF. As far as I see it, this BLP CV problem is not relevant to the deletion discussion: it needs to be discussed elsewhere. The question of notability can be settled without it, and I feel that we have enough here to demonstrate notability. —Noswall59 (talk) 13:59, 1 June 2018 (UTC).[reply]

So far, all attempts at "rebalancing" have been rebuffed. Is this germane to the discussion?"WP:BLPCRIME and WP:BLP1E "applies to individuals who are not public figures...editors must consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured. A living person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until convicted by a court of law. Accusations, investigations and arrests do not amount to a conviction," as well as "limiting the information concerning individuals notable for one event. " Phoenixpreacher (talk) 18:46, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per User:Noswall59's analysis above. Arnold's notability can be shown by having been the principal of St Chad's College, and his published works. There is a section in that college's article St Chad's College, Durham#List of principals listing principals, and while not all have their own articles, the ones that do appear to be equal in notability to Arnold. Anyone who is more versed on the subject of English religious school principals can certainly correct me if this assumption is wrong. I looked up the books and can't find anything in mainstream publications, but since they are religious books that's unsurprising. They are inaccessible to me, but I'm going to assume good faith and accept the reviews listed above as proof of the books' notability. The unfortunate CV situation is an additional item of notability, but not the basis of my decision. Lots of people falsify CVs and resign - but thankfully not all of them have it permanently enshrined into history on Wikipedia. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 20:42, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • DeleteHerein lies the issue. The college maintained that his CV was not falsified and I have noted the validity of two of the diplomas in question without it being corrected. Saying that he resigned because of his CV is speculation not fact. That is the problem with this piece as currently written. It does not meet the standards for a BLP Phoenixpreacher (talk) 21:18, 4 June 2018 (UTC) striking duplicate vote. Primefac (talk) 12:55, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I read the info differently. The college didn't say he hadn't falsified info, only that what wasn't falsified was enough to keep him on. Others in his department who disagreed with the college resigned in protest - that act carries some weight also. Nonetheless, how the event is covered in the article is different from the overall question of whether he's notable or not. Also, each person is only allowed to vote once - you voted delete above as well. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 21:52, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the sources recently added to the talk page, I think they are routine and don't rise to the level of significant coverage.

@Vorbee: no, because the word wikt:notability is not equal to the Wikipedia guideline WP:NOTABILITY. WP:N is based on whether the subject is discussed in reliable sources, not on whether the subject has an impact on society. wumbolo ^^^ 15:27, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The other sources in the article. The New York Times, for instance, or the book source I added yesterday (which has a paragraph or two on the project, enough to count as "in-depth" for me). The Spanish ABC source found below by Thincat is even better, but I didn't see that one until after I left my own comment. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:24, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@David Eppstein: the New York Times mentions Project Euler in only one sentence, and the ABC source is actually a copy-paste of an article by Neoteo, a source of questionable reliability. wumbolo ^^^ 16:41, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So? The reliability of a source is based on their own editorial process, not on how they acquired their text. And are you deliberately ignoring the book source I also mentioned, or what? —David Eppstein (talk) 16:48, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Although the New York Times article mentions Project Euler only in one sentence the implication of that sentence is huge as far as the notability of Project Euler is concerned. Hkleinnl (talk) 18:23, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have also found this in ABC (newspaper) in Spanish so that edges it up a bit. Also, quite a few textbooks with a paragraph (or even merely assuming you know what the site is about).

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

This was discussed last year, a week or two after the fire, and the result was no consensus, so I'm nominating this again now some time has passed to see if a consensus can be reached. Although the tower is obviously highly well-known now, because of the tragic fire, I think it comes under something like a WP:ONEEVENT heading. And yes, ONEEVENT talks mainly about BLP individuals, but the principle is the same - this building is not notable in and of itself, it is just notable because of the fire, which is already fully covered at the article Grenfell Tower fire. In particular, we don't have articles about similar-sized towers in the area such as Dixon House or Whitstable House, because I don't think individual tower blocks would normally pass the WP:GNG criteria. I recommend that this article be merged into Grenfell Tower fire and replaced with a redirect to that article, as that is by far the most likely thing people will be looking for if they type "Grenfell Tower" into the search box.  — Amakuru (talk) 08:08, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Yes the fire was very notable but the building also got a lot of attention, which can be seen in the depth of information available in the article on the tower itself.

  • Merge - there was nothing notable about this building prior to the fire, therefore it does not justify a stand alone article. Much of the general building information is useful, but it should be in a section of the Grenfell Tower fire article. Non-notable without reference to the fire, and leads to unnecessary duplication. Timothy Titus Talk To TT 09:29, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect, I agree that there was nothing notable about the building prior to the fire, therefore it makes no sense to have 2 articles about the building and fire now. My preference would be to merge the two under under Grenfell Tower fire. PKT(alk) 11:21, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep Very clearly and obviously passes the GNG. Gaurdian put out an article 51 minutes ago on the building itself. "We don't have articles about other stuff" is a horrific argument, and it sounds like the nom failed to do a BEFORE, just looked at the calendar instead and trotted this up for deletion. {{tq|I don't think individual tower blocks would normally pass the WP:GNG criteria};} Well we don't give a hoot about "individual tower blocks", this AFD and the article in question is about the Grenfell Tower, not individual tower blocks. Sorry for the bad faith, but that is how I view the situation. And ONEEVENT is flawed, everyone and everything starts somewhere. JB Straubel could be argued to be best known for his work as CTO of Tesla, let's merge and redirect him. cinco de L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 11:29, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep And a very strong one at that. A clear and obvious pass of the WP:GNG. I fail to understand the reasoning behind why the building would need to be merged into the article about the disaster. The information isn't necessarily duplicated. SportingFlyer talk 17:58, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Seems to satisfy WP:GNG given that the amount of coverage it received has made it notable. The article also has other information as well, it is not exclusively about the fire. Tillerh11 (talk) 18:02, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It may well not have been a notable building before the fire but since the fire there has been a mass of reporting about the building as it was before the fire. We do not ask why there is coverage (of the pre-fire building) we simply ask that there is such coverage. Even if the analogy with people is appropriate using WP:ONEEVENT, "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate" rather strongly advises we should have both articles. Thincat (talk) 22:04, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. In the past AFD participants took me for a local, maybe i have jolly accent or whatnot, but I am glad the article was Kept and developed. The article is really good now, thank you to the editors who have developed it so well with sources and illustrations and great text. Of course it meets wp:GNG. --Doncram (talk) 23:21, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep The article sufficiently covers the aspects of the building in excruciating detail (as already does the article on the fire); in all seriousness, this is a case of one event. But I am also a realist, understand recentism bias, and the "easily passes GNG, look at the Google hits" rationales that come with it. So maybe in the future there can be a legitimate discussion on policy in relation to this non-notable building. Just not today, apparently.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 05:01, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are the first person to mention Google, or hits – perhaps Google isn't notable! If I were going to try deleting this sort of thing I'd try Reactions to the November 2015 Paris attacks which, for me, has a "one event" transitory nature unlike a building with architectural characteristics and a history. But I'd rather let sleeping dogs lie. Thincat (talk) 07:35, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - a number of people above are saying the building is a GNG, and that's certainly true, I didn't deny that. My comment in the nomination was that buildings of this nature wouldn't normally meet GNG, and I don't think Grenfell Tower did prior to the fire, except as part of the wider Lancaster West Estate. But although this does meet the criteria for WP:GNG, there is a key part which is being missed: "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article. ONEEVENT entities routinely fall into the category of notable subjects which don't merit their own article, but can be discussed sufficiently in the event article. For example, Madeleine McCann certainly satisfies all the GNG criteria, she's one of the most written about people of the last eleven years, but her coverage is subsumed into the event article Disappearance of Madeleine McCann because that it's better for readers and the information is better presented that way. I don't think having this article at Grenfell Tower, when the subject of most interest is the fire, is helpful for readers. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 08:01, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep. The value of these discussions lies in the the opinions and issues it raises. Some of which I do find ludicrous. We had not got round to writing an article on Silchester Estate (though a redlink had been left in Lancaster West Estate article) when the fire happened and generally out of respect, that dampened any enthusiam that we had to discuss other issues of housing in RBKC. As you can see from the contents of the Grenfell Tower article it is very notable in terms of modern London architecture. An article on Silchester West (Dixon Frinstead and Markland) and Silchester East (Whitstable) probably would be a better starting point until we have enough GNG to float those towers. We have a good starting point in the discussions hereI don't take this ruralist POV that it is ok to document a near deserted village Sunderland Point with a population of 6, and not a vertical London village with 80 units.

Concordance Theory

After observing that most civil-military theory assumes that the civilian and military worlds must necessarily be separate, both physically and ideologically, Rebecca L. Schiff offered a new theory—Concordance—as an alternative.[91][92] One of the key questions in Civil-Military Relations (CMR) theory has always been to determine under what conditions the military will intervene in the domestic politics of the nation. Most scholars agree with the theory of objective civilian control of the military (Huntington), which focuses on the separation of civil and military institutions. Such a view concentrates and relies heavily on the U.S. case, from an institutional perspective, and especially during the Cold Warperiod. Schiff provides an alternative theory, from both institutional and cultural perspectives, that explains the U.S. case as well as several non-U.S. civil-military relations case studies.

While concordance theory does not preclude a separation between the civilian and military worlds, it does not require such a state to exist. She argues that three societal institutions—(1) the military, (2) political elites, and (3) the citizenry must aim for a cooperative arrangement and some agreement on four primary indicators:

Social composition of the officer corps.The political decision-making process.The method of recruiting military personnel.The style of the military.

If agreement occurs among the three partners with respect to the four indicators, domestic military intervention is less likely to occur. In her book, The Military and Domestic Politics, she applied her theory to six international historical cases studies: U.S., post–Second World War period; American Post-Revolutionary Period (1790–1800); Israel (1980–90); Argentina (1945–55); India post-Independence and 1980s; Pakistan (1958–69).

  • Comment: the band's sole album Feeling the Fall does have reviews from two reliable sources, AllMusic and Pitchfork, which means it passes WP:NALBUM. But I can't find any further information about the band itself – the note that they had reformed in 2012 and were working on new material was the sole edit on Wikipedia by "Jnallard" (note that the band's leader is J. Nicholas Allard), and there has been no further news since then, suggesting the band broke up again without releasing any further material. In which case, new sources are unlikely to appear in future, and the band's notability rests on finding articles in print media from a dozen years ago, or on their album's notability – if this article is deleted, Feeling the Fall should probably be deleted as well.

  • Weak Keep - I hate to admit it but they may have enough for a basic stub article. Richard is correct that their Feeling the Fall album got some reliable reviews, though that album seems to have been discussed in the media more than the band themselves. They have a basic AllMusic profile here: [11] (though bizarrely, the photo is of the Kinks album of the same name). Here is a brief newspaper introduction: [12]. I won't argue with anyone who votes otherwise, but a brief stub article has some merit, though it needs to be cleaned up. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:21, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Very few sources or walls of text provided on article about a stupid short-lived animated children's series. A majority of the article's bytes consists of the episode list. There is no in-depth coverage of the show provided whatsoever and I highly doubt there is anything notable about it worth doing research for because the show was short-lived and honestly why would anyone remember it? I remember seeing it a couple of times several years back and I can tell you that there was little promotion or hype surrounding the series and it only aired like once or twice every week. It didn't help that the more-popular Ben 10 and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends were airing back then and doing immensely successful in the Nilesin Ratings Holding either.

  • Keep. Sources seem to exist, although mostly in French. Here are a couple of articles about partnerships with other companies to produce various works, in the early 2000s: Screen Daily, AlloCiné. I'm willing to presume there are also sources discussing the production of 1492 and Casino, although those are just early enough to make online source availability spotty. Alain Goldman is likely not notable outside of his company, and searches for him suggest other material may be available.

  • Delete As per Ossifrage above, while sources may very likely exist, the problem is that sources that meet the criteria for establishing notability ... don't appear to exist. For example, the screendaily reference relies extensively on Benoit Jaubert, the company's general manager and therefore fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. The allocine reference is derived from a company announcement and relies on quotations from the company officers or related people, therefore not intellectually independent and likewise fails WP:ORGIND.

This is an interesting one, since there's actually a decent amount of information about him that's easily found, from an appellate court decision against an insurance company, to an asbestos lawsuit, to a number of articles discussing his numerous failed campaigns from city council to the U.S. senate to the U.S. presidency. You don't become notable by being a losing candidate in major races, filing lawsuits, or by being a small town mayor, and while easily sourced, few of the sources discuss him in depth, and the one I found which discusses him in depth the best did feature stories on all of the candidates in the race.
