• Keep. Look to adding this recent notice by a legal foundation in support of Pueblos Unidos Center's efforts, as also this report of the Center's legal actions, by an independent source, and this notice from Europa Press. Jzsj (talk) 01:22, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The "recent notice by a legal foundation" is actually just an event announcement, not an endorsement of any kind. it's publicity for an event.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:38, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Read on and you'll see the credit that is given (in their bold letters: "This guide is the result of the Foundation's network work with the Pueblos Unidos Center of the San Juan del Castillo Foundation and Pro Bono lawyers,..."). Jzsj (talk) 23:37, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:RS, as it is very clear that you do not understand what a reliable source is in this context. An event listing that talks about a publication being launched is not a reliable source. The source in question is reliable support for a claim that the event happened, and that the Jesuits have published a certain book. It lends no notability to the organization itself. While the source includes "Pueblos Unidos Center of the San Juan del Castillo Foundation and Pro Bono lawyers" in a few sentences, it does nothing to establish that the org is notable, as it goes into no depth at all about the org. It is an event listing.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:46, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What part of WP:RS do you find comes closest to supporting what you say here? Are you speaking of reliability or notability, since WP:RS never uses you word "depth" and is not a discussion of "notability"? Jzsj (talk) 09:23, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"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. (from Wikipedia:Notability). See also Wikipedia:Verifiability for the demands for proper sourcing. And from WP:RS: Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This means that we publish the opinions only of reliable authors, and not the opinions of Wikipedians who have read and interpreted primary source material for themselves. The Banner talk 11:57, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Look again at the excerpt and see that others will disagree on whether it fails the criteria you mention here. The mention hardly seems trivial and the source seems reliable. Jzsj (talk) 12:28, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, are you really unable to understand the meaning of these policies? The Banner talk 15:30, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The Boyinaband article has been on my todo list for a while now, and I think there's plenty of independent coverage of him out there, for example, [1] [2] and [3]. I agree that David Brown (internet musician) as it stands currently relies too much on primary sources and doesn't make any indication of notability, but that can be improved. (Note also that the page content of David Brown (internet musician) has previously appeared at Boyinaband, which is currently a redirect to You and What Army, the band that Dave is a member of.) Ahiijny (talk) 01:22, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above. There's more coverage that could be uncovered and added. I do think he's a notable YouTuber. Obviously not on the same level as say, Shane Dawson, but his collaboration with iDubbbz and "Don't Stay in School" got him covered to a degree in news sources. Ss112 18:48, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect somewhere. Not far from being notable, but there are not enough sources with significant coverage to say that it is at least borderline. I'd like a redirect because it prevents new editors wasting their time on creating an article which already existed, and if I'm not mistaken, Boyinaband used to redirect to You And What Army, I think. I do not know how Asian Jake Paul merits an article, but it's not the focus of this AfD. wumbolo ^^^ 21:42, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to You and What Army. Sources I could find, and the ones linked above by Ahiijny fail WP:SIGCOV, and it appears WP:TOOSOON for him at the present time. Borderline, but not notable I think. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 00:11, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to You and What Army. Even though his video Don't Stay at School passes WP:GNG, that does not mean that he is notable. Also, if you search up 'Boyinaband' on Google. It just brings up primary sources, which fails WP:RS. The Duke of Nonsense^{What is necessary for thee?} 18:38, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep per Ahiijny. Three independent, reliable, secondary sources is just barely enough to pass WP:GNG as well as another source in the article [4]. 344917661X (talk) 15:41, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter suspensions

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

This list of accounts suspended from Twitter isn't notable (and this does not convince me). Thousands upon thousands of accounts have been banned on Twitter, and many tiny incidents have generated a little bit of buzz, mostly routine coverage. Some of the suspensions on this list might belong at Shadowbanning. wumbolo ^^^ 18:52, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Twitter is unusual due to its high-profile in culture (Trump, George Zimmerman, etc). It's not like getting banned from YouTube or Wikipedia. The list is of notable cases, not every case. At least, the notable cases randomly added. -- GreenC 19:28, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and rename - If the rules were being more aggressively followed - in the sense that only blue-linked individuals (etc) who had a reliable source about their banning then I can fully see this is being both a workable and a not unreasonable list. I do however think the list name is a little confusing as-is. "High-profile Twitter suspensions" would make more sense, as well as some needed clean-up. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:56, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  That would be much better. And I would still like to be a bit more convinced of the list's notability. wumbolo ^^^ 20:06, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As touched on on the talk page, if you limit scope to notable individuals only, you exclude high profile purges on e.g. Russian bots etc Deku-shrub (talk) 10:49, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Deku-shrub: Yes, sorry I should have clarified that that statement referred to individuals (I saw the alt-right mention - which clearly has lots of coverage, but would be an odd distinct article) Nosebagbear (talk) 11:06, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Plenty of continuing news coverage regarding Twitter’s policies especially Alex Jones’s permanent suspension from Twitter makes this article extremely relevant and valuable.The lorax (talk) 01:58, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: a valid topic with Twitter actions to suspend accounts (or not) being frequently covered. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:05, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to say that the list should be limited to blue-linked entries, but after reading this entry, I reconsidered:

@nemuismywife | Japanese man | August 2017 | Uses new account | Account permanently suspended for making death threat against a mosquito. The man started a new account.[52][53]

Non-notable startup. Of the cited sources, SD Asia ("creates content about startups", and a co-sponsor of Grameenphone Accelerator) is a press release that contains one sentence about AlterYouth, a startup going through the accelerator. The New Age and The Daily Star articles are based on this press release and add nothing to its one sentence about AlterYouth. Youth Co:Lab (a UNDP initiative) says AlterYouth won a non-notable award.

• Keep per WP:ATD, no issues that aren't fixable through ordinary editing or redevelopment. I can only guess at the way in which the nominator thinks this is indiscriminate as no explanation is given. Not passing LISTN doesn't mean deletion is necessarily merited unless it's an oddball classification; WP:LISTPURP is more relevant when we have an ordinary list of things by place. Looking at this list's potential as an index, we have five articles apart from this list in Category:Villas in Naples, which may or may not be enough, but many more if we go the next level up by place to Category:Villas in Campania, or even to the country level at Category:Villas in Italy, neither of which have a corresponding list. So this really is the kind of list that shouldn't be brought to AFD, but instead per ATD should be evaluated in terms of either further development at this scope or more broadly. Editors may decide there is justification for listing these at the Naples level because of existing or possible articles, and/or that it should also include entries that don't merit articles, or that it should be expanded to a wider geographic area. A further comment to the nominator: next time you list an article for deletion, don't leave it to the commenters to do this work for you, but instead walk us through the application of the guidelines to the content, and explain if, as here, there are related articles or categories. See WP:BEFORE as well as ATD. Otherwise it looks like a drive-by nomination rather than a thoughtful analysis. postdlf (talk) 17:30, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure what kind of keep !vote was that. Category:Villas in Naples is enough to list notable villas. Still supporting delete. This one is nominated on notability grounds and notability does not require fixation. WP:LISTN is a notability guidelines. Hitro talk 17:49, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Right, I'm gathering that you're not understanding. So please take more time to read through the policies and guidelines I cited before responding here, as well as WP:NOTDUP regarding what is "enough" when it comes to lists and categories. postdlf (talk) 18:05, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Some of them do have articles here. The article for Villa La Sirena is Villa Donn'Anna, for example. They all have articles on the Italian Wikipedia, as far as I can see.

This is near-identical to Andrew's refuted argument at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of giant animals in fiction (2nd nomination). If he wants to use those sources to create a separate article called Neapolitan villa that perhaps includes a list but is, like those sources, more focused on prose discussion of history, architecture, etc., nothing is stopping him, but he really doesn't seem interested in building the encyclopedia so much as preventing the rest of us from maintaining it. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 00:11, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I should clarify that I haven't read those sources, but I can tell from their titles that, if they are published books, they do not consist purely of a list of names of villas. The reason all of them include titles like that is no doubt that Andrew, as he did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suppression of dissent, also has not read any of them, and simply Googled up a list of scholarly-looking books with titles that sound like they discredit his favourite of the dozen or so valid reasons for deleting Wikipedia pages.

• Keep and improve. A list of Roman villas is certainly appropriate: [8]. It satisfies LISTN and every site would be notable. List of Roman villas in Italy should not be red linked. It can be populated to begin with from Category:Roman villas in Italy, and then from the many other sources that exist. Medieval villas would also be appropriate: [9] [10]. As would more recent but historically important villas (there are, for example, in the Category:Villas in Naples a number of palatial examples from the early modern period to nineteenth centuries which look appropriate). And even if Naples was to small we could just expand to a wider area. James500 (talk) 13:09, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  This isn't a list of Roman villas. I suspect that the majority of them are not. I tried googling a couple at random and they both turned out to have articles on Italian Wikipedia; Villa Chierchia and Villa di Grotta Marina, and both of them say they are 17th century. SpinningSpark 13:20, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• • Looking at the coverage of those two in GBooks and elsewhere, and at pictures of the buildings, and bearing in mind the later is more commonly "Villa Grotta Marina", I would say that both look suitable for inclusion. The Chierchia looks like a palace, and if these buildings were in England, I would expect them to be listed from their age (pre-1700) alone: [11]. I am under the impression the Italian equivalent to listing is the vincolo: [12]. James500 (talk) 17:08, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• TNT delete I'm not sure if this topic could, in theory, merit an article, but what is there is pure crap: practically unsourced, terrible English prose, etc. If they really "are many hundreds", then why were these 28, none of which are blue-linked, selected?

As such, there could be a case to make that it should be kept but rewritten. In other words, change it into a regular text page that might have an embeddded list at the end, but would be primarily written about the topic, in regular paragraphs.

@Tryptofish: If you look closely at the article and its creator, it's pretty obvious that they would not have been capable of writing a prose article on this topic. What little prose is there looks like MT, and the list might very well just be copy-pasted from the one cited source.

TBF, the expansion was a unilateral action by Mortee, several days after the AFD was opened, and only a few hours before I wrote the above (and several hours after Tryptofish wrote the comment to which I was responding), and Mortee wasn't one of the editors I was referring to anyway (I hadn't noticed their "keep" !vote until just now). My original suspicion that the specifically cherry-picked list (are these the only ones that have articles on it.wiki?) was copy-pasted from a copyrighted source still stands, even if Mortee's first edit fixed it by changing the order around. I haven't examined Mortee's expansion of the article otherwise, so I have no opinion on whether my "TNT delete because the article that's there is pure garbage" is still valid, but the validity my reply to Tryptofish is not affected by Mortee's expansion at all.

• Keep. At this point, I'm persuaded that the page should be kept, and improved to be a non-list page that may contain an embedded list. I don't think that the creator of the page should be determinative of a deletion decision, because a flawed page can be fixed, and I'm seeing enough evidence of coverage of the history of architectural style that I'm satisfied that the topic is notable and encyclopedic. I think the problem here is that the page started out looking like a standalone list page, which is something that it should not be. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:20, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The article itself referenced a book dedicated to the subject of villas in Naples, so I don't see a notability problem. I've added some blue links and some prose on the ancient history, sourced to another book. No doubt someone with access to the original reference can add a section on the later history. I may expand it further myself from other sources. Having a list appended isn't a good reason to delete a stub on a notable subject.

Could you expand on why the sources given don't cover the GNG? These include a book on current villas in Naples as a collective and two on the Roman villas there, which is part of the subject of the article.

The article violates WP:Listcruft (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12), and I don't feel there are significant reliable sources demonstrating this is a notable topic, including the books you mentioned. Ancient Roman fancy houses aren't exactly relevant to a list of modern fancy houses in Naples. It just gives the article a veneer of notability, when there are villas all over the world and we don't have tons of lists of them on Wikipedia. It's also pretty much a WP:SYNTH argument to try to connect ancient villas and modern villas as far as I can tell. Including the Listen policy was a mistake and I apologize for including it. Newshunter12 (talk) 14:45, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We have numerous articles on individual villas. Some are in Naples. So we categorize them under Category:Villas in Naples and list them here. That seems very straightforward and simple to me, particularly when we have such a basic list of things by location. The essay LISTCRUFT gives no useful guidance; the relevant consensus-supported guidelines are WP:LISTPURP and WP:CLN. And that's all without even getting into WP:LISTN, though a credible argument has been made that this would also get a pass on that guideline too, which is sufficient though not necessary. postdlf (talk) 16:30, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations (my bolding):

  There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports. Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability.

  
  
  Analyst reports
  
  
  1. This 3 April 2013 article^{Internet Archive} from Investor's Business Daily notes that Health Insurance Innovations "specializes in 12-month Short-Term Medical plans, or STMs." It notes:

     As demand for STMs rises, Health Insurance Innovations should see opportunities to grow its business, analysts say.

     ...

     "However, it does offer healthy individuals a way to protect against major claims at a fraction of the cost of other insurance alternatives," [Carl McDonald, an analyst at Citigroup] noted in a recent report initiating coverage on Health Insurance Innovations.

     ...

     "The company has a timely opportunity to strengthen and build its network of distributors, while navigating the looming changes from health insurance expansion in 2014," Credit Suisse analyst Glen Santangelo noted in a recent report on the stock.

     ...

     Analyst Santangelo cites its "highly scalable" proprietary technology, a competitive edge in pricing and distributor economics, and a low market share of the individual insurance market that allows plenty of room to grow.

     The company also has "a large cross-selling opportunity with core customers and ancillary products, and a significant runway to add distributors," Santangelo said.

  2. This 11 September 2017 article^archive.is from StreetInsider.com notes:

     Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Steven Halper again defended Health Insurance Innovations (NASDAQ: HIIQ) after a negative article was posted at moxreports.com.

     ...

     He added, "We believe the weakness in HIIQ shares today is mostly unfounded. Moxreports published a negative article on HIIQ today. The article attempts to extrapolate from past settlements, what the company's liability would be ."from a "tidal wave of fraud investigations, lawsuits and cease and desist orders." Much of the concern relates to an ongoing 42-state investigation into operating practices, which was previously disclosed. The other issue relates to the company's license as a third-party administrator (TPA) in Florida. The company's application was denied on June 1. In its public filings, the company has indicated that "a final hearing on the matters has been scheduled for October 17-20, 2017, but the company is working with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) to reach a mutually agreeable resolution of the matter prior to the hearing, including discussing whether the OIR will require the Company to hold such a license at all." We agree that the letter from the OIR does not read well and highlights several shortcomings by the company during the licensing process. Finally, the article indicates that insiders have been selling stock despite these issues. We note that the company's CFO, Michael Hershberger has a pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan in place to sell shares which mostly removes any discretion from the timing of sales. We have spoken to the company and management intends to host an investor/analyst call later today."

  3. This 1 March 2018 article^archive.is from StreetInsider.com notes:

     Cantor Fitzgerald raised its price target on Health Insurance Innovations (NASDAQ: HIIQ) to $60.00 (from $38.00) while maintaining a Overweight rating.

     Analyst Steven Halper comments "We expect HIIQ to continue to benefit from solid demand for its alternative individual health insurance products. We believe the recent HHS rule proposal, which aims to lengthen the maximum period of short-term policies, is positive as well."

  4. This 12 February 2018 article^archive.is from StreetInsider.com notes:

     B.Riley/FBR initiates coverage on Health Insurance Innovations (NASDAQ: HIIQ) with a Buy rating and a price target of $38.00.

     Analyst Randy Binner commented, "We are initiating coverage of Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (HIIQ) with a Buy rating and a 12-month price target of $38 per share. The target is based on a peer multiple of 16x on 2019E EPS of $2.35. This target equates to an 8.7x EV/EBITDA multiple on 2019E, compared to peers at 9.4x. We believe the stock is set up to deliver on several positive regulatory and financial catalysts. Because of the regulatory overhang, valuation is very attractive on a risk/reward basis, in our opinion, with a 4:1 upside/downside outlook."

  5. This 12 September 2017 article^archive.is from StreetInsider.com notes:

     Canaccord Genuity analyst Richard Close reiterated a Buy rating and $39 price target on Health Insurance Innovations (NASDAQ: HIIQ).

     Close said the company should win back confidence as regulatory issues resolve, although it will take time. The analyst says closing these items of concern ought to win back investor confidence.

     This 12 September 2017 article^archive.is from TheFly about the same analyst report notes:

     Canaccord analyst Richard Close believes Health Insurance Innovations' outstanding regulatory issues will be resolved without a meaningful impact on the business, but said it could take time and remain an overhang until this is settled. Close maintains a Buy rating and said the next likely catalysts for shares would be a resolution to the Florida third-party administrator license application situation.

  6. This 10 October 2017 article^archive.is from TheFly notes:

     Canaccord analyst Richard Close noted the Wall Street Journal reported President Trump intends to sign an executive order to roll back certain insurance regulations, which could have a direct benefit to Health Insurance Innovations' business. The order would seek to reverse the Obama-era rule on short-term medical insurance, which limited the duration to no longer than three months, and revert it back to the previous duration of one-year. Close reiterated his Buy rating and $39 price target on Health Innovations shares.

  7. This 15 February 2018 article^archive.is from TheFly notes:

     Canaccord analyst Richard Close noted Health Insurance Innovations received a third-party administrator license in Florida, which he said removes a key risk to its story. The analyst said it removes the question as to whether the company can continue to operate in Florida and views it as a significant positive with respect to investors' sentiment. Close expects the shares to react positively and he reiterated his Buy rating and $39 price target on Health Insurance Innovations shares, which are up about 7.5% to $29.10 in pre-market trading.

  8. This 1 March 2018 article^archive.is from TheFly notes:

     Lake Street analyst Mark Argento raised his price target for Health Insurance Innovations to $50 citing the company's "strong" Q4 and fiscal 2018 guidance. The analyst recommends being an "aggressive buyer" of the stock due to Health Insurance's "strong fundamentals, attractive relative valuation, and a positive regulatory environment." He reiterates a Buy rating on the shares.

  9. This 3 August 2018 article^archive.is from TheFly notes:

     Raymond James analyst C. Gregory Peters reiterated his Outperform rating on Health Insurance Innovations and raised his price target on shares to $55 from $38, saying he is encouraged by management's views that an agreement with regulators related to the multistate examination may potentially be reached in Q3. The analyst added that he believes the company is positioned to handle a potential fine, given its substantial cash position.

     Health Insurance Innovations, which went public in 2013 and now employs nearly 200, saw its shares top $15 early that year. ...

     The company's latest trouble began last week when the Obama administration said it wants to limit short-term health policies that allowed healthier consumers to purchase 365-day plans as a cheaper substitute for plans offered by the Affordable Care Act, or ACA. A proposed rule setting a three-month limit that would go into effect in 2017 was issued Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

     A day later, Raymond James analyst Steven Schwartz downgraded the stock of Health Insurance Innovations to market perform from strong buy, prompting an additional 20 percent drop in shares. "We expect significant industry pushback and believe that an industry legal response will be likely if the proposal is adopted in its current form," Schwartz said.

  Cunard (talk) 22:33, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that the article includes none of the sources above that offer any criticism oft he company, and carefully avoid using the phrase "short-term" insurance. That's why I listed it here, as it seems entirely the product of PR, and not very subtle PR at that.. It would require a complete rewrite in order to be nPOV. That's even reason for deletion by Speedy G11. In Cunard thinks it isfixable, this is best shown by fixing it.

• Delete – Entirely crystal ball-ish article, with the little info it presents being mostly synthesis material. Only four sources are used (all of them in Russian), and the various statements they seem to reference are seemingly forcibly put together in the article to try to imply that this is an event which is more relevant and likely to happen than it actually is. Not notable as per WP:NEVENTS either. Impru20^talk 17:20, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I considered AFD-ing this article when it was created, but instead moved it to its current title (from the more-CRYSTAL "Dissolution of Russia"). I think an article similar to Partition and secession in California could be written on the topic (beyond simply repeating content about the Dissolution of the Soviet Union), but I don't have sources; the existing article may have enough POV/SYNTH issues to justify deletion. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:56, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Probably keep as the topic of seccession is notable. The treatment is almost entirely CRYSTAL and there is very little salvageable, but I'm generally not a fan of the WP:TNT argument. Wikidata leads to ru:Распад России ("Breakup of Russia"), which is obviously the source of the what-if scenarios -- a much better article could be written on the basis of ru:Сепаратизм в России ("Separatism in Russia"), which doesn't have an en.wp interwiki link.

• Keep Meets GNG. In addition to the SB Nation article, which is significant coverage, there is also the Chicago Sun-Times piece, which isn't specifically about Hollis but gives him some attention. Also there is this. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 16:32, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment @Editorofthewiki: The Chicago Sun-Times article just briefly mentions Hollis, with one quote and three total sentences about him. The Unique Sports article should not even be considered, because it isn't reliable and often publishes puff pieces for the JBA and the Ball family (examples: [13] and [14]). So to me, the only article providing significant coverage is the SB Nation piece, which isn't nearly enough coverage to warrant an article.

• Delete Does not meet WP:NHOOPS by playing in LaVar Ball's fledgling Junior Basketball Association. Fails WP:GNG with lack of significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources. SBNation can be selectively reliable depending on the writer, but they still use a lot of amateur bloggers. If notability relies strongly on an SBNation source with few other alternative sources of coverage, it's usually an indication to me the subject is not notable.—Bagumba (talk) 08:39, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment In addition to the other sources, I was able to dig up this article from the Hutchison News and this profile pice by a former editor at Rivals.com. This article in the Dallas Morning Mews extensively mentions Hollis. There was also an interview with D1 Circuit. Hollis definitely meets GNG. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 12:50, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

”Hoopseen” is a company that puts on HS tournaments (click “About” at the bottom of the page) - it isn’t an independent source. The other article is at least about Hollis and from an independent source, but one fairly short piece about a local boy signing a pro deal doesn’t establish notability IMO. Rikster2 (talk) 13:00, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Same concerns about Hoopseen independence. Also not sure about it's reliability, and I'm not comfortable anyways using these niche, non-mainstream sites for notability (unlike projects like pro wrestling). The Dallas Morning News link was a one-off about a youth summer camp he went to for football, which doesn't help build content for his primary basketball career. I had seen the Hutchinson article before in my search, and still do not think it all collectively is enough significant coverage. His college coverage is not sufficient, and his pro career has not been notable.—Bagumba (talk) 13:24, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary content fork whose "sources" are all selected comic strips. The first AfD was over ten years ago with a result to merge (which I proposed this time, but it was opposed), but that apparently didn't happen; in addition, the same issues appear to exist. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 13:39, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep- While there is no question that this page needs an overhaul, the secondary characters in C&H are notable enough, and varied enough, to have their own page. My fear would be that the main article would be bloated by trying to put the onus on it to hold the secondary characters information, which will undoubtedly occur as editors will see the need to insert more and more. Indeed, I semi-proposed in the merge discussion mentioned by Erpert (which I opposed) that the "Secondary Characters" section of the main article should be deleted or its information moved to this page to make both the main article and this one better, as the source used in the main article (the 10th Anniversary Book) is a RS as it is not just the strips but also Watterson's commentary and thoughts. Deleting the Secondary Characters page would, imo, have the unintended (though not unforeseeable) effect of risking the main article getting worse. I say fix this one as much as possible. It may not ever be perfect, but it can get better. But don't risk the integrity of the main C&H page or the inevitable edit wars that will happen as editors think that "this" information needs to be in and others don't. What's the old phrase?

• Keep You forgot about this article. Meets GNG. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 16:22, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment @Editorofthewiki: That article by Lonzo Wire is entirely based on a piece by Fresh Sports Talk, a site run by a commentator paid by the JBA, so it technically isn't independent. Fresh Sports Talk is also unreliable, because most of its articles are simply puff pieces for LaVar Ball and his family and brand (examples: [15] and [16]). Regardless, only two articles covering a player that is otherwise not notable is probably not enough to warrant an article. Given that info, please provide some additional justification for your "keep" vote. Runningibis (talk) 18:07, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Okay, but just because it is based on the Fresh Sports piece doesn't mean you should discount it since it is an independent article- a secondary source based on a primary source. There were also several other LonzoWire articles and this article in La Voz News. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 13:15, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• @Editorofthewiki: The new article you brought up is essentially a game summary. The Lonzo Wire article would be good if they actually did original research, but it appears that they just summarized what the unreliable and non-independent Fresh Sports Talk piece said. There were no other Lonzo Wire articles that covered Malone in depth. Runningibis (talk) 13:59, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep the implied reason for deletion is that the page is a violation of WP:NOT; this can be viewed as a test-case for a (much wider) deletion if there's consensus that it is a violation. I don't see it; Wikipedia also functions as an almanac and these tables are found in almanacs; having separate pages rather than a single Swimming at the 2014 South American Games page is an editorial decision that shouldn't depend on notability hoops. There is a bit of a circular "keep this article because we keep this article", but until there's a convincing reason to delete, I'm fine with that. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:58, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Just going to add that if this is kept, it should be moved back to Swimming at the 2014 South American Games – Women's 100 metre breaststroke. Althought he move was made in good faith, it appears to have been an unnecessary one which is contrary to the naming/capitalization convention followed for other similar athletic event articles thoughout the encyclopedia.

There is no evidence that the article subject exists, or has ever existed. The section "Hyperbolic comets identified as asteroids" is the only valid thing in this article, and it's not deserving of its own article. "hyperbolic comet" is a valid article topic, which actually exists, and I recommend that that article be created. wumbolo ^^^ 12:17, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Is there a class of objects that includes both asteroids and comets? Minor planets maybe? Hyperbolic comets currently redirects to list of hyperbolic comets, and really, I don't see much encyclopedic content for either topic. It may be best to combine the two, though seeing as most of them ended up getting reclassified as comets... — Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:04, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Comet#Long period is a better redirect target for Hyperbolic comet. wumbolo ^^^ 13:13, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep nominator incorrectly asserts that the article's subject, Hyperbolic asteroid, does not exists. It is one of few orbital classes established by the JPL Small-Body Database (see 'Oumuamua). The term has also been used in publications such as On the Rotation Period and Shape of the Hyperbolic Asteroid 1I/'Oumuamua (2017 U1) from Its Lightcurve. Also, the  main contributors such as Exoplanetaryscience and Kheider have not been notified of the article's nomination, which I consider good practice if not mandatory. Rfassbind – talk 13:19, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  LOL, the database you linked contains ZERO "hyperbolic asteroids" (except wrongly describing the interstellar one). And your papers are outdated - they call 1I/2017 U1 a HYA, when it's actually a comet. wumbolo ^^^ 13:38, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Wikipedia is based on WP:RELIABLE sources, not on snarky comments and/or irrelevant assertions. The class Hyperbolic asteroid has been defined by astronomers at JPL (asteroids on hyperbolic orbits with e > 1.0). Nobody knows how this orbital class will develop in the future, but as long as it is used by the most respected source of the entire minor-planet project on Wikipedia, it must not be deleted. Rfassbind – talk 16:35, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  but as long as it is used by the most respected source of the entire minor-planet project on Wikipedia It's not used by it anywhere. As you said, it's merely defined by the JPL. And Wikipedia is not a dictionary. wumbolo ^^^ 16:42, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Of course the subject exists. For one thing, A/2017 U7 is an existing example of such a thing, and for another thing this is an obviously different class from other objects. A hyperbolic asteroid implies that there is a dynamically unusual asteroid which has somehow been ejected from within the Solar System's (or any other stellar system's) frost line to the oort cloud, and has somehow come back. exoplanetaryscience (talk) 17:27, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  That's not true. "A/2017 U7" is not such a thing, when it's a comet. wumbolo ^^^ 17:35, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Wait it's a comet? I guess somehow the announcement of that passed by without me noticing. Well still, it's a theoretical group of objects that there's no reason to believe doesn't exist. exoplanetaryscience (talk) 17:40, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  No problem, it happens. Yeah this is a Russell's teapot. And this doesn't belong on Wikipedia per WP:BALL. wumbolo ^^^ 18:14, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  And yet, Vulcanoid, Claimed moons of Earth, Tyche (hypothetical planet), all objects theoretically possible to exist with no unambiguous claims. If there are no such proven examples of something, then the article is not necessarily on the objects themselves, but the theoretical concept of the object's existence, which is perfectly encyclopedic. exoplanetaryscience (talk) 18:53, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, the examples you gave have been notable objects of scientific discussion and theories, but that scientific discussion doesn't exist for hyperbolic asteroids. wumbolo ^^^ 19:22, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Whether or not any hyperbolic asteroids have actually been observed, astronomers are certainly looking for them and they are discussed in the literature. This book for instance, lists a number of asteroids predicted to have orbits so unstable they become hyperbolic. By the way A/2017 U7 was once thought to be a hyperbolic asteroid. That it is now believed to be a comet does not stop that fact being encyclopaedic and relevant to this article. Further, ʻOumuamua was also initially identified as a hyperbolic asteroid in this paper. SpinningSpark 01:12, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  This article is about hypothetical hyperbolic asteroids. Not about past incidents of astronomers misidentifying small objects. In order to have such an article as Faster-than-light neutrino anomaly, you would want to have many sources discussing the mistake afterwards (similar to the Use–mention distinction). The book you provided seems like a WP:PRIMARY source. wumbolo ^^^ 09:31, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  The paper printed in the book is "Synthetic Proper Elements for Outer Main Belt Asteroids" a scholarly paper published by Springer with 103 citations in other, mostly peer reviewed, papers according to gscholar. You demand scientific sources and when one is presented try and dismiss it as WP:PRIMARY. If we can't use that one, there is not much in the scientific literature we could use, but in any case, Wikipedia does not proscribe primary sources "primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them". The search term hyperbolic asteroid has hundreds of results on gscholar and at least some of them are relevant. I don't subscribe to your claim that the article is about hypothetical orbits and not real objects identified with this property. It is clearly about both. Your BADGERing of every contributor here is beginning to sound desperate. SpinningSpark 10:40, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Spinningspark; the term is well-defined and the effort to determine if any exist is covered. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:59, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep A fairly new classification but that's not a reason to delete. Andrew D. (talk) 11:22, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per SpinningSpark, and Andrew. It doesn't matter if the thing/phenomenon has actually been observed. It has fair deal of mentions in literature. It is not mentioned like wormholes, but still, it merits an article. —usernamekiran(talk) 19:00, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to "'Oumuamua". I am unconvinced that we have adequate coverage in suitable sources to establish notability. This source, indicated by SpinningSpark, does not appear to define "hyperbolic asteroids", but rather mentions several asteroids whose orbits have subsequently become hyperbolic. SpinningSpark also mentions a Google Scholar search. However I am struggling to find "hyperbolic asteroid" explicitly described, except in the context of 'Oumuamua. For what it's worth, I added a couple of references about 'Oumuamua. I realize that 'Oumuamua was initially classified as a comet, then changed to an asteroid, and subsequently changed back to a comet. Nevertheless, 'Oumuamua seems to be the only object that has ever been clearly described as a "hyperbolic asteroid". (As an aside, I see that several people agree with SpinningSpark's "Keep" rationale, yet no-one has added a reference to the article. This particularly dismays me.) Axl ¤ [Talk] 11:12, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Axl: "...does not appear to define hyperbolic asteroids". From the source under "Hyperbolic cases", Let us begin with the most unstable orbits, that is with those that already during the 2Myr integration became hyperbolic. For these nine escaping asteroids... (my emphasis). Thus, they are defining hyperbolic asteroid as one which has achieved escape velocity. That is, an asteroid in a hyperbolic orbit. This is unlikely to be explained any more explicitly in a source on hyperbolic asteroids since it is well known in astrodynamics that achieving escape velocity is synonymous with in a hyperbolic orbit. However, the relationship can be found in basic textbooks such as Fundamentals of Astrodynamics. In any case, I question the claim that a lack of a definition in sources detracts from notability. It is enough that the source discusses the subject at all. SpinningSpark 14:39, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your emphasis indeed! "Thus, they are defining hyperbolic asteroid as one which has achieved escape velocity." No, they are not. They are describing "escaping asteroids" that have "unstable orbits" that become "hyperbolic". The source is unsuitable for establishing notability of the topic "Hyperbolic asteroid". [The source may still be suitable for supporting information stated within the article.] Axl ¤ [Talk] 14:53, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find any reliable independent secondary sources about this "film" (actually a long form YouTube video) other than the one unsigned commentary in the web-only Long Island Press. Flixster is primary and now 404 anyway, Hot Indie News is a promo page and not RS, IMDB is a user-edited directory. It's self-produced, self-published and self-promoted, and even covering the plot is WP:UNDUE because, well, Alex Jones. We'd need independent analytical sources to establish context for every word, per WP:FRINGE. Those sources do not, as far as I can see, exist. Guy (Help!) 12:17, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's anything worth merging to Alex Jones. The film is just one of Jones' many methods of tell the same story, the "censorship" was nothing unusual (I think both fans and non-fans of Jones can agree on this), and his other documentary isn't treated in any more depth in his article either.
