List of Forgotten Realms cities

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

This is an article for the collection of non-notable topics that do not justify a content split. There is no reason a general encyclopedia needs to list every fictional city in a work. There exists Faerûn to cover the fictional world in general, assuming that article can even establish its own notability. TTN (talk) 22:52, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:GAMEGUIDE Chetsford (talk) 05:34, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Nearly all of the information here is unsourced, or sourced to primary books and publications. The one secondary source being used is only being used to support one piece of trivia for one of the cities, which does not really help the notability of the stand alone list. As the vast majority of the listed locations are not independently notable, and there are no reliable, secondary sources discussing the items on the list as a set, it fails WP:LISTN.

Sarah Kerruish

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. The Peabody Award that this article claims for its subject appears to have been awarded to an entire film-making team that she was included in, which IMO falls short of ANYBIO territory. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 21:43, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete Article is wtitten like promotion indicating only awards received WP:G11. Also poorly sourced. GargAvinash (talk) 19:19, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As a filmmaker, it is perfectly understandable awards are shared among directors, writers, etc. Peabody therefore clearly meets ANYBIO and, particularly, c. #3 of WP:CREATIVE is also met given the myriad reviews on her work I've found, including in the NYT, Variety, The Verge, etc. And these are just for a 2018 film. Yes, the article might be promotional, but that's easily fixed when so short. Best, PK650 (talk) 21:28, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Found enough sources to pass WP:GNG, and enough reviews to pass WP:CREATIVE#3 per PK650, especially around her 2018 documentary (but some earlier stuff). I wrote it as a paragraph. Couldn't verify everything in the list with reliable sources, but I think there's enough to keep the article. Have moved the original list to the talk page, so as not to have unverified info on there. Achaea (talk) 20:55, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Improve - needs more writing to fill in blanks between her achievements but she meets notability so this article should be kept. Jessamyn (talk) 00:40, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I believe the subject meets WP:GNG—the article alone lists sources from Digital Spy, Hollywood Reporter and Bustle. As for WP:NACTOR, the subject has a main role in the second season of You (TV series), and has made several other appearances in TV shows and films, including Need for Speed (film), so I think a weak case could be made for NACTOR, too. Dflaw4 (talk) 11:15, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - She meets WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR, and has had recurring and guest roles in numerous notable TV series and a few films. IphisOfCrete (talk) 23:28, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - She meets WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR, she is the only person to have a main role in "You", without her own Wikipedia page. She has almost 500k followers on Instagram.JackofDiamonds2 (talk) 03:23, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - She meets both WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. She has several credits in notable works such as a supporting role in the feature film Need for Speed and has appeared in many roles on television, and had a main role in a very notable and popular show, You. Not only this, she is a social media personality and has done several interviews. She definitely does meet notability guidelines! DaanaPlaato (talk) 01:53, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen

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

This story is a small part of the appendix of The Lord of the Rings. The topic of the story is covered much more thoroughly in the articles on the characters of Aragorn and Arwen. BenKuykendall (talk) 18:20, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. (The appendix is bursting with unnotable details.) Clarityfiend (talk) 19:35, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I found an article titled "'Her Choice Was Made and Her Doom Appointed'Tragedy and Divine Comedy in the Tale of Aragorn and Arwen" I couldn't access and a college term paper. WP:GNG fail. Hog Farm (talk) 05:15, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The article you are looking for is listed here. It is "'Her Choice Was Made and Her Doom Appointed': Tragedy and Divine Comedy in the Tale of Aragorn and Arwen" by Richard C. West, published in The Lord of the Rings 1954-2004 (2006). I (and others) will have a copy of such books (though mine are mostly packed away at the moment), so please do ask. The irony is that this is the most important of the Appendices, and it talked about more than any of the others. But material on that is probably best placed elsewhere, rather than in its own article. Carcharoth (talk) 15:51, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Lord of the Rings. I'm not sure about the subject's notability by itself, but it's in the appendix of LOTR and it seems like a valid enough search term to redirect to that book. — Hunter Kahn 12:36, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Arwen is a much more specific (qua, better) redirect target. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:08, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete we do not need freestanding articles on the contents of the apendicies, and they are not really worth being redirects either. That this has existed over 14 years with only primary sources is a sign of how we have failed to clense Wikipedia of the initial mistakes in its creation.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:25, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Suggestion (semi-serious) - merge Aragorn and Arwen and material on The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen to the existing redirect Aragorn and Arwen. I discovered this AfD, ironically, after looking at some pairs and commenting here. See Galadriel and Celeborn and Eärendil and Elwing for existing examples. Carcharoth (talk) 14:47, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Those other two pairs normally act in concert. True, Earendil normally went sailing without his wife, but their sailing together was key. Arwen may have made Aragorn's banner, but she did not accompany him in the Fellowship or go to Minas Terith in his first battle.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:06, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever the outcome, the title should Redirect to Arwen where it is discussed. The principle should be that we do our best to find a sensible "home" for plausible search terms, which this story title certainly is. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:07, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chiswick Chap If we turn this into a redirect, it's a bit of an WP:XY issue. The store belongs to neither Aragorn nor Arwen alone, so I think it would be strange to redirect to either of them. BenKuykendall (talk) 16:35, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I'll think about this, we may be making a mistake here. Google Scholar turns up some 70 papers on the Tale, confirming Carcharoth's note on its importance among scholars, so perhaps the right answer is to say it's notable, and to rewrite the article using some of them. I'll look into it tomorrow. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:52, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator. - FitIndia ^{Talk Commons} 15:22, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No coverage by multiple independent reliable sources to meet WP:GNG and justify a stand alone article. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 21:15, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. A lot of the keep arguments are at best optimistic with regard to how closely their arguments accord with policy and we have a pretty good consensus that the current sourcing fails to pass GNG. Spartaz ^Humbug! 21:52, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – nothing to show that WP:NCORP is met. As in the previous AfD, the only thing that's been said about them is that they received funding money. I have removed some of the company's own promotional/fringe claims from the article. --bonadea contributions talk 18:06, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Forbes contributor pieces (same author) and PR, not enough for notability. But I think it's unfortunate, since the now-cleaned up "criticism" section and the lead saying "Their test kits are not currently approved by the FDA. Multiple medical doctors question the necessity and usefulness of these tests, particularly the food sensitivity test." are valuable information for people looking up EverlyWell online. Wikipedia is about the only online source with enough juice to bump up in search results against marketing and sales. Schazjmd (talk) 18:13, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Still Delete. Stuff like this really needed to go. But what else is there? Does this pass any sort of 'notable scoundrel' test? Should we be keeping (like some other quackery) as a warning? Or, given the inevitable positive spin which will be shoe-horned back into here (like the quotes in that deletion!), should we even try? Andy Dingley (talk) 18:30, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is likely not "quackery" because the products of this company are now Carried by retail giant Target and Retail giant Walmart. Also carried at drugstore giant CVS. Lightburst (talk) 19:55, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Major retailers also carry homeopathy remedies and healing crystals, so being sold at Walmart doesn't really mean it's not quackery. Not that that has any bearing on whether the article should be deleted or not. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 21:07, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apples and oranges SpicyMilkBoy. A health test must be accurate for a Drug Store giant to carry it... a healing crystal- not so much. Lightburst (talk) 21:09, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So the arbiter now between genuine healthcare and a quack product is Walmart? (Who also sell little elastic wristbands to cure seasickness by pressure points.) Andy Dingley (talk) 21:34, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A health test must be accurate for a Drug Store giant to carry it. You actually believe this is true?! Levivich 19:18, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this incarnation of the article in question is markedly similar to the version that was previously deleted. A WP:BEFORE search for new sources (published between Jan 2019 and Jan 2020) turns some press releases and funding announcements, but nothing in-depth or truly independent from the subject. As far as my view is concerned, WP:NCORP is still not being met. SamHolt6 (talk) 18:50, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:NORUSH I see that the article was recently deleted and I have read the arguments. The company is new and poised to control the mail order health test kits. In 2019 they got an influx of cash. I would like to see the article developed. A relatively new deal on the television show Shark Tank is also notable. There is much RS which can improve the article. Notable company which is poised to be even more notable. Lightburst (talk) 18:56, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Counter WP:CRYSTALBALL Wikipedia doesn't care what is "poised" to do anything, only what is already notable. If this company becomes notable in the future, it can have an article on it. Until then, delete. --Danielklein (talk) 23:53, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

delete sources read like press releases and routine coverage. Still does not meet WP:CORP "Good to know" is not an inclusion criterion. Wikipedia is not a consumer watchdog site. As Andy Dingley said. And "multiple doctors question" is nebulous, and does not do anything to show notoriety. There are plenty of non notable tests physicians feel doubtful about as a class, and this is just one non notable entity dealing with such tests. "Poised to grow", sounds like a marketing pitch. And Shark Tank is there to promote businesses-- Deep fried okra 18:59, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As a matter of fact, i think WP:G4 applies. And a second AFD is certainly not being in a rush to delete. The thing has now been created twice. The previous deletion was 1 year ago-- plenty of time.-- Deep fried okra 19:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus changes. That is why it is unfortunate that an editor had pinged the editors from a full year ago. We might have a new WP:LOCALCONSENSUS with a natural AfD process. I have not seen this done, where previous AfD !voters from 365 days ago are pinged to sink an AfD. Seems rigged doing it like this. The company has secured 50 million dollars in May of 2019 which is 5 months after the first AfD ended in delete. Take a new look. And WP:TROUT to the nominator for the pings. Lightburst (talk) 19:09, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:G4 does not apply to this article. It is not substantially unchanged and there has been new information after the first AfD. Lightburst (talk) 21:12, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They are all experienced users, and I believe their comments are coming after reviewing the new information about the company not because I have pinged them. Regarding WP:NORUSH, it's not a policy, and it does not apply here becasue the article was recreated in November 2019, under a different title to evade the protection at EverlyWell. GSS ^💬 05:02, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GSS: I looked through your previous AfD nominations and it is not your practice to ever ping !voters from previous AfDs. I have no idea why you did it this time - esp since you pinged editors from a year ago. But it got this AfD off to head shaking start and sunk the AfD rather quickly. Lightburst (talk) 06:00, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lightburst, GSS has pinged previous participants before [1]. Nor is that unusual, I've been pinged several times by other editors making 2nd nominations, particularly for articles with complex histories like this one. Note also that GSS pinged every participant on the previous AfD who wasn't a sockpuppet. The fact that we all opined "delete" that time is immaterial, and I don't think it's fair to say we can't be trusted to judge this new version dispassionately. Besides, the first two delete !votes here are from editors who had not participated in the first AfD. Voceditenore (talk) 17:33, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We can go round and round. In that AfD that you highlight they pinged participants from an AfD which ended in no consensus exactly two months prior. This was pinging editors from an AfD which ended a full calendar year ago. And you can see I participate in hundreds of AfDs. In my experience this is not done. It is not normal, it is not recommended, it is unusual. I would point out that, the nominator does not normally do this because I looked. It is not best practice. Lightburst (talk) 17:50, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We shall have to agree to disagree, but one could argue that you listing this AfD at the Article Rescue Squadron – Rescue list with the comment that this AfD "feels rigged" by the nominator seems a lot more like canvassing than those pings do. Just saying. Voceditenore (talk) 18:30, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The ARS notified to improve an article. But the members probably peeked in to see this is a lost cause and a time waste. You can look through the records and archives on ARS to educate yourself about the mission rather than casting aspersions. By the way you are not the first, and won't be the last. Lightburst (talk) 18:40, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am thoroughly familiar with ARS. I even got six of these in my 13 years on Wikipedia (for what it's worth). Listing an article for rescue is one thing. Commenting there that its AfD is rigged another. It's entirely inappropriate. Voceditenore (talk) 19:15, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to lack of independent coverage; sources are primarily press releases, routine funding announcements and promo pieces/interviews practically written by the company itself. Fails NCORP and may be suitable for G4. –dlthewave ☎ 19:41, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP might be the only balanced source for consumers to find out the dangers of this company. The article can be cleaned up and the fringe unsourced parts removed. I am willing to make a start on the page. Also WP:NOTPAPER, more criticism will come up over time if the company is not doing peer reviewed studies.--Akrasia25 (talk) 19:55, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If the article is kept than a cleanup may be required, but AfD is not cleanup. For our purposes here we cannot assume that the topic will accrue more coverage in the future (WP:CRYSTAL), as we are only considering on and off-wiki coverage that exists at present. SamHolt6 (talk) 20:53, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Does it matter if the Forbes article, despite being published by a contributor, got "Editors' Pick"? [2] I see the CNN article [3] isn't done by the news staff just people getting a cut of the profits from those who buy what they talk about. How many of the news search results are paid commercials and press releases, and how many are legitimate coverage? A lot of search results to sort through. TechCrunch seems like a reliable source. [4] ~~So does this[5]~~ So I say that's enough independent coverage in reliable sources to pass the general notability guidelines. Dream Focus 19:58, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From US Magazine: Get the Metabolism Test (originally $89) on sale for just $71 from Everlywell for a limited time with code: RESULTS20 at checkout! That's an advertisement, not reliable independent coverage. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 21:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Coverage consists of funding announcements (which are trivial coverage per WP:NCORP), press releases and unreliable sources such as Forbes contributor pieces and Gazette Review, which "publishes articles written by users & freelancers" and states "a variety of companies provide products or services to GazetteReview.com for free in the hopes that their companies will be mentioned in reviews" , i.e., it's a spammy blog. Regarding the arguments that this should be kept to inform people that the tests are unreliable, that is emphatically not what Wikipedia is for; refer to the official disclaimer that Wikipedia does not provide medical advice. There are many scams and stupid ideas in the world, we only write about the ones that are notable. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 20:46, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This was easy last time, both at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EverlyWell and at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:EverlyWell. It is difficult, because the question is now whether it has become notable for fringe science being peddled as medicine. The insertion of the Criticisms section may be a clever way to sneak its real notability in. The company isn't notable yet for being a successful home ~~quack~~ test product manufacturer, but the controversy does appear to be notable. I disagree with User:Lightburst, because being poised to become anything is just up and coming too soon. If the company is notable, the article should be negative. It is difficult because it isn't obvious whether a negative article is warranted. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:19, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Still Delete. According to the lead, the test kits are not FDA-approved and the company appeared on an episode of Shark Tank. That doesn't spell WP:ORGCRIT to me, just another attempt at WP:SEO. Miniapolis 21:31, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the discussion between Andy Dingley and Lightburst, and giving the oxygene of publicity to this slightly dubious enterprise. -Roxy, the PROD. . wooF 09:51, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Like Robert McClenon, I found deletion easy last time, this time not so clear-cut. I suspect the original "Criticism" section on this new version had as its goals SEO optimization and acceptance here on the basis that the article is "balanced" and showing increased coverage of the company. But really, those refs are basically about the validity of using the IgG test for detecting allergies—not about the company itself. Alternatively, this new version of the article may be a good faith attempt to "warn the public", but that's not the purpose of Wikipedia in the absence of notability. As far as I'm concerned there are only two articles that are from mainstream, independent sources that genuinely focus on the company itself: this one from Bloomberg Businessweek and this one from NPR. The remainder are either press release-based or puff-pieces (I include the Forbes and TechCrunch ones in the latter). This one from Business Insider is about data protection and primarily about 23andMe and Ancestry.com with only a name-check in one sentence for EverlyWell. The company's main claims to fame are appearing on Shark Tank and a bunch of people complaining/warning about one of the tests they market. Not very impressive. Are the Bloomberg and NPR articles on the company sufficient? I'm not sure. I'll probably stay on the fence for now. Voceditenore (talk) 10:46, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The topic has received in-depth coverage since last deletion but the page in its current state is WP:TNT-worthy. It is still a victim of WP:REFBOMBING and would need a complete rewrite in my opinion to meet proper tone. On a complete separate note, I would suggest salting the page so that it needs a review through AfC and approval by admin for recreation. It does appear to at least have a COI in its creation (and possibly UPE) and is wasting everyone's time dealing with it. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:02, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on this article's history (for those who haven't checked the logs) Justlettersandnumbers (an admin) restored the deleted versions so that a comparison could be made. However, the article under consideration now was created in November 2019 by Literalkoala with this edit [6]. It is substantially different from earlier versions.

The first time it was created was in December 2018 by Neerajmadhuria72014 (now blocked for UPE and socking). It was draftified and deleted in January 2019 per Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:EverlyWell. The second version was created in January 2019 by Mohamed Ouda (now blocked for UPE and socking) and deleted in January 2019 per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EverlyWell. Voceditenore (talk) 18:17, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately editors see paid editing and socking and some reflexively !vote delete. How about we debate the merits of this company having an article. Paid editing and socking does not invalidate the company's notability. The article was already tagged for paid editing. Lightburst (talk) 18:40, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That was not the point of my comment. The point is that the current version is substantially different from the UPE ones and should be judged on its merits, not on the fate or creators of its previous incarnations. There is no evidence that this version is connected in any way to those versions, but the current state of the history does not make that clear. Voceditenore (talk) 19:23, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree its fate needs decided on its own merit. After that however, what do we do? If it is deleted, I believe it should be salted. Being substantially different doesn't clear it from UPE accusations. It could just mean it was written by a different paid editor and not someone from the company. Not making a direct accusation, just pointing out that we cannot say one way or another it is (or isn't) UPE. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:48, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt because it's been recreated multiple times by UPEs. – Levivich 01:13, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I find it ridiculous that editors are accusing Literalkoala of being a paid editor. Have you even looked at their edit history? Hay House, Graham Reed (psychologist), Susan Clancy, Culemborg fireworks disaster, Breast milk and more. And salt? Really? Everywell is one of those companies that keeps coming up in various social media posts and people want to understand what it is. Erasing (and salting) will only send them to the companies website. Wikipedia is a encyclopedia where people go to get informed information. I think this page deserves to stay and inform.Sgerbic (talk) 18:59, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I edited this a while back and was pleased to see the well deserved criticism of the company it had. I just reviewed it again and the article certainly does NOT reflect anyone creating it on behalf of the company, if that was ever the case in the first place. In it's current state, I'm sure EverlyWell would love it to be deleted. Why are we playing into their hands by discussing COI as a reason to delete it? If it is to be deleted, it should be ONLY on the basis on notability. Also, the banner on the article ("This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments..." ) must seem perplexing to any reader. I can see the unanswered question: "Who would pay someone to write THIS about their company?" RobP (talk) 20:14, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacks in-depth coverage and whats there reads like a press releases. - FitIndia ^{Talk Commons} 15:34, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"...whats there reads like a press releases" Seriously? This makes me think people voting here are not actually reading the article at all. Fully half of the lead is criticism: "The company's test kits are not approved by the FDA. Multiple medical doctors question the necessity and usefulness of these tests. IgG tests are not accurate enough to be regularly used by allergists or medical doctors in diagnosing allergies and sensitivities. The presence of IgG antibodies does not confirm an allergy but rather that the body has encountered that substance at some point in the recent past." This reflects the article main body text. What company would write a press release anything like THIS?? RobP (talk) 17:22, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There was only one user to !vote keep in the previous AfD and FYI that user was blocked for undisclosed paid editing.

GSS ^💬 17:57, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GSS:@Fitindia:@CNMall41: I have not yet seen an explanation as to why some of the DELETE voters are claiming the article reads like a press release (or should be evaluated as a COI/UPE issue), when this is unarguably not the case -- as I pointed out just above. RobP (talk) 19:20, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recall saying that it "reads like a press release." I also didn't say it needs evaluated for COI. I left several comments which stated it appears to have a COI based on its creation but that it was NOT a direct accusation (and the creator now appears blocked for such). My comments were basically what to do IF it is deleted, nothing else. I also stated it needs evaluated on its own merit outside of any COI so not sure why I got pinged. On another note, I am not sure anyone has addressed my comment about the need for WP:REFBOMBING. --CNMall41 (talk) 07:47, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How frustrating! Before voting can you please READ the article and do a little research.

Comment Don't know why I was pinged, but I will say that sourcing is still insufficient to meet the notability requirement. EverlyWell being happy/unhappy with the content is not relevant. And we are not a soapbox from which to denounce anyone or anything for any perceived wrongdoing. As the article deals with living people, we are tacking toward shoal waters if we argue to keep as a public benefit to warn against the big bad ogre..As with a recent BLP I've been dealing with, our job as encyclopedists is to build an encyclopedia. Not to fix the world's wrongs. Or to announce them.-- Deep fried okra 03:34, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I should also say that the sources listed above by Gogolwold are simply not sufficient to meet WP:CORP.-- Deep fried okra 03:55, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rubbish. The WSJ, Fortune and Bloomberg articles all pass WP:ORGCRIT Gogolwold (talk) 09:04, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have not said the article reads like a press release. Some of the sources do.-- Deep fried okra 03:37, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry then... It seemed like you and others were saying this WP article looked like a press release. ("Lacks in-depth coverage and whats there reads like a press release") Others made that mistake as well, so I'm not sure it was all my fault for misconstruing comments of that variety here. OK then... so the issue is some of the citations used in this article read like a press release? Yes, I just looked again. A minority of the articles used as citations seem to be uncritical. But unless you and like minded folks here are stating otherwise, they seem to be independent of the subject. So what's the beef? If the media covers something positively it is not allowed? I don't see this stance as being a WP rule. In any case, those are the minority here, and used to established what the company's details and claims were/are. But they are countered by the much larger number of citations critical of it. And that is reflected in the tone of the entire article, including the lead. So, what is the problem then? Also, would not deleting some of the pro- material (if it is thought to be too much) be better than deleting the entire article? RobP (talk) 16:40, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Re salting so an admin must approve. That is not how we do things. The RfC reviewers need not be admins. And you do't need an admin to review an article to see if it would meet requirements. It would be best though if it were left to an RfC reviewer to decide on main spacing further iterations.-- Deep fried okra 03:42, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A student union councillor who does not appear to meet WP:NBIO. The article was recently deleted under CSD A7 as a self-written vanity page and was immediately recreated by another user. Three of the five cited references merely mention the subject's name as one of the elected student union councillors. The fourth reference from livehindustan.com is a short blurb by the paper congratulating "our correspondent Vaibhav Choudhary" on his appointment as Sports President of Delhi University, and is neither independent nor in-depth coverage. I am however unable to access the fifth reference from amarujala.com. My attempts to find further coverage on the subject only came up with more short blurbs mentioning Vaibhav Choudhary's name as one of the elected student union councillors, and nothing more.

delete I really want to say "per Jimfbleak", but I cant for obvious reason. Even though Delhi University Students' Union is a notable organisation, it is not a government body, office, or organisation. Getting elected as head of that organisation doesnt make the subject notable per notability guidelines for politicians. Talking about general notability guidelines, the subject doesnt pass them either - as mentioned in the nomination, and in other comments, the subject lacks significant coverage. Talking about Amar Ujala, I dont know about the print media, but the online version is like a tabloid. They cover, and spice up almost every topic. I havent read the source in discussion, but Amar Ujala online edition should not be considered for establishing a subject's notability. Other sources have been explained in the nomination. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:05, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The book notes on page 201:
Big Midwestern universities have their roots in agricultural land grants, and take their cows more seriously. A classic cow prank that crops up at Ag schools, from time to time, is a heifer being elected homecoming queen.
The book notes on page 202:
A prime representative of the genre is the case of Maudine Ormsby, homecoming queen of 1926 at Ohio State University. Supported by the College of Agriculture, Ormsby, a prize Holstein, initially placed a respectable second.
The homecoming committee learned of Maudine's species during a check of the student directory, to contact the homecoming candidates for picture-taking purposes.
Maudine was disqualified from the final balloting for the crime of being a cow (how thankful we should all be that such appalling speciesism would never be tolerated on today's enlightened campuses). The Ag students raised a protest, but what saved their cause was all the human candidates were disqualified owing to dishonest campaign tactics. That left Maudine, who was the wrong phylum, but at least had not cheated. The homecoming committee decided to chose a queen at a special session. Amazingly, they threw up their hands and selected Maudine.
The ball back in their court, Ag college officials had to nix the participation of Maudine in the parade festivities, since the cow—which had set world records in milk production—was too valuable to parade around. Her place in the homecoming procession was taken by two undergraduates inside a cow outfit. There was an attempt to inject some human cheesecake into the parade by naming a certain Rosalind Morrison as the unofficial queen. But she had her pride, and refused. "It was an insult to be beat out by a cow that I refused to accept any of the honors at all," she said, 30 years after the fact.
The book further notes:
Maudine was not the last barnyard creature bedecked with human honors at OSU. In 1940, when all the candidates for May Queen were eliminated on technicalities, the OSU May Queen was a mare named Jean Scot.

The book notes:
You're lucky you weren't around during the reign of Maudine Ormsby. The 1925 Ohio State University Monthly anointed her “the latest star in the Milky way . . . she has represented Ohio State University . . . where she has received honors galore.” She also packed 'em in with record crowds during the annual Farmer's Week, where five thousand “paid her tribute,” according to the magazine. Is it any wonder that Maudine was elected Homecoming Queen by ardent student fans in the fall of the following year? Never mind that Maudine had four legs instead of two, and at about 1,200 or so pounds (give or take a couple hundred either way), she was a little plus-sized, even for her height. Oh, and did we mention that Maudine Ormsby was a Holstein cow? Yet Maudine was chosen queen by an overwhelming margin, with votes exceeding the actual number of students enrolled at the university, according to some accounts. The first runner-up, Rosalind Morrison (later Mrs. W. F. Strapp) felt she'd been handed a bum steer and “refused to accept any of the honors at all,” as she stated in records maintained by the OSU Archives. “It was quite a blow to all the candidates,” although in later years, it had “become quite a joke.” ...
the Stories vary as to what actually transpired, but Maudine was the overwhelming choice of students in the College of Agriculture. Along with being four-year champion, she was the “youngest heifer in the world to ... According to the archives' records, Maudine initially came in second. But the Homecoming Committee got the cow tip after they checked the student directory and couldn't locate her or her photo. However, other irregularities in the election resulted in the divine bovine's catapult to homecoming royalty. When they heard about her win, Maudine's handlers in the College of Agriculture had a, er, cow. They feared the coronation might curdle her milk, or that she might “zig” when she should “zag” and trample a few revelers. So although she was honored at the Homecoming Parade—two boys in a cow costume rode the float and attended other events—she stayed in the barn during the dance, game, and other hoopla. Things quickly turned into cow patties after that. Ohio State lost the game to their archrival Michigan by one point, their only defeat of the year, knocking them out of the Big Ten title. By 1929 Maudine had developed brucellosis, a contagious bacterial infection. So like Mary, Queen of Scots, and Charles I of England before her, she became a victim of regicide. Still, her saga lives on, to the udder amusement of new generations of students at Ohio State.

The book notes:
Maudine Ormsby
Homecoming Queen ■ Ohio State ■ Nov. 12, 1926

Maudine Ormsby was the ugliest homecoming queen ever elected.
She had a long, straight nose with wide nostrils, big ears that she could wiggle, teeth the size of piano keys, broad but bony hips, and widely bowed ribs. And was she fat! She stood only five feet tall and had a girth to match. She weighed half a ton.
Maudine, you see, was a cow. The Ohio State student body elected a pure-bred, prize-winning Holstein their 1926 homecoming queen.
When it was time for the school to choose a queen, the fraternities and sororities nominated their own candidates. But the independent students felt they had been shunned, so they decided to put up their own candidate. They picked Maudine. She sure wasn't pretty, but she did have a nice disposition and a helluva set of jugs. She immediately gained the support of the College of Agriculture.
Although the university enrollment totaled only 9,000 back then, more than 13,000 ballots were cast—the majority for Maudine. (She beat out such write-in contenders as evangelist Aimee McPherson, Queen Mary, Helen of Troy, and Sophie Tucker.)
Some of her legitimate two-legged opponents protested the rigged election, but the homecoming committee decided to milk the prank for all it was worth, and allowed Maudine to wear her crown.
Maudine's chaperones wouldn't permit her to appear in all the homecoming festivities because, after all, she was only four years old. However, for the Ohio State homecoding parade, she did ride majestically in a horse-drawn float.
Unfortunately, Maudine failed to inspire the football team. It lost to Michigan—to the udder disappointment of Ohio State fans.

The article notes:
Columbus, O., Nov. 10—Maudine Ormsby, the only cow ever elected queen of a college homecoming festival, was forbidden to ascend the throne today. The spokesman for the queen announced tonight that her majesty would be unable to undergo the rigors of the alumni festivities at Ohio State university Friday night, on the eve of the Ohio State Michigan football classic. “It's no place for a cow,” declared Prof. Carl W. Gay, head of the department of animal husbandry. Prof. Schuyler M. Salisbury of the same department, grand vizier and advisor to the queen, agreed that Maudine's nervous system might be so upset that almost anything might happen. Furthermore, decided the spokesmen, Maudine is professionally engaged in production of milk, high in butter fat, which already has won her four world's records, and queening would seriously interfere with the vitamins. She is barred for professionalism, it Seems. Maudine's sudden abdication, after four days of red hot controversy, came as a climax of a climax of a weird series of campus events reminiscent of the old Siwash tales. A crooked election, outcries of serious minded professors who wished to save the university from disgrace, loud guffaws by those who visioned a sad-eyed cow at an alumni dance jamboree, and much excited comment by virtually everyone in the university district, has produced a sensation. There has been more talk around Ohio State this week regarding whether Maudine was to serve as queen in person than about how hard it is to get a ticket for Saturday's game, and that's plenty. Leroy Morris, editor of the Sun Dial, humorous monthly, student chairman of the homecoming celebration, confronted with the news that Maudinewas ineligible, announced that there would be a cow on hand at the alumni dance neverthless, Maudine or no Maudine. He refuses to say whether he would borrow a cow from a farmer or build one of papier-mache. At any rate, Morris has a perfectly good cashable silver cup to be awarded to the homecoming queen. Perhaps it will be placed against the royal bank account to buy her hay. The ultimatum of the spokesman for the queen came after a hectic day at the university. Prof. Salisbury protested to Prof. Gay, and Prof. Gay appealed to Dean Alfred Vivian of the college of agriculture for a ruling, and the matter even reached the office of President George W. Rightmire, who refused to comment. The Boost Ohio committee devoted much time at its afternoon meeting today to the question of divine right and the royal succession. It all began last week, when entries rolled in for the annual election for queen.

The book notes:
For some, the idea of crowing a Homecoming Queen each fall is an antiquated and objectifying notion that falls somewhere in- between presidential politics and beauty pageants. Perhaps that was the mindset of the group of Ohio State agriculture students who, in 1926, nominated one of their own for the Homecoming court. The only thing they neglected to mention was that their nominee, Maudine Ormsby, was the dean's pet cow. Maudine' s bovine background never came up until just before the ceremonies when the Homecoming committee members were trying to round up all the candidates for a photograph. Only then did it become known that no tiara was going to fit this queen. Flustered, the committee tried to disqualify Maudine. But when they later discovered all the other candidates had illegally campaigned for the Homecoming honor, the committee had no choice but to name Maudine the winner. For the parade she was placed atop a flatbed truck along with her escort (decked out in a spotless white dairy uniform) , and for one j- day, everyone had to kowtow to Queen Maudine.

The article notes:
Ohio Maudine Ormsby, a Holstein heifer, owned by the Ohio State University, has just completed a seven day test record of 431.4 pounds of milk and 23.33 pounds of butter. This heifer made the record at 21 months and seven days of age, which, so far as the Department of Animal Husbandry can learn, is a new record for heifers of this age in Ohio, and second in the United States.
The university should feel a sense of pride in this achievement, due to the fact that the mother and grandmother of this heifer, as well as the heifer herself, were all bred by the university. She is an excellent individual, having won second at the Ohio State Fair, and seventh at the National Dairy Show. She is now milking 70 pounds per day with a test of four percent butter fat.
During the test the heifer was fed and milked by Carroll E. Eby, Columbus, a junior in the College of Agriculture.

Cunard (talk) 12:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maudine Ormsby was selected as the homecoming queen of 1926 at Ohio State University. This received significant coverage in books published in 1986 by Pocket Books, in 1992 by St. Martin's Press, and in 2011 by Morris Communications. That the homecoming queen story has been written about in books published 60–85 years after the event occurred strongly establishes that it has "attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time".
The 1992 book also notes that Maudine "had set world records in milk production".
A 1925 article in Chillicothe Gazette published a photo of Maudine Ormsby with former Ohio Governor Frank Orren Lowden and says "Maudine is of Holstein stock and has produced the world's record of 22,000 pounds of milk, plus 920 pounds of butter".
A 1926 article published by D. Appleton & Company notes, "Maudine is professionally engaged in production of milk, high in butter fat, which already has won her four world's records".
I oppose a merge to History of Ohio State University since covering Maudine Ormsby's story in that article would be undue weight and since there are enough sources and material about the homecoming queen story and her world records to establish notability per Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline and justify a standalone article.

What is going on here, User:Piotrus? You nominated this article for deletion like a week ago, I responded. No "prod was declined". Where did that page go? Please resurrect it so that others know that all that legitimately happened.

Now you are nominating it over all again like it is your first time and I never did. This isn't right. I am going to leave this same message at the other two pages where you are doing the identical thing. Yours, 11:54, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

My apologies. I checked that page, then the auto-generated notice that was left on my Talk page on December 30, 2019, which indicated an objection could be left in the form of an Edit Summary, which I did: "There is just a date and location for this lab at the IBM Research page. There is relevant cited content here. The page is not simply "clutter" to be deleted." Without consensus you then merged the article into IBM Research, which was reverted by another editor, not at all an anonymous user, it was, User:Dicklyon, who has been with the encyclopedia since 2006 and has over 100,000 edits.

User:Wikiuser100 You seem not to be familiar with WP:DELETION. Prior proposal was WP:PROD, which you challenged, as was your right.

I'm not. But that's not what you did, User:Piotrus. Stop being disingenuous - or outright dishonest. You didn't just "go to discussion", as you falsely claim above, you pretended to merge the articles (dishonestly using that term in your edit summaries at those pages), but did not do that. You blanked them, then incorporated absolutely none of their contents at the main IBM Research page. It's all there in the page histories, and confirmed by User:Dicklyon in his post below. In fact, there was less total at the IBM research (where you even deleted helpful preexisting headings there) then before your phony "merges". Which were then reverted, whereupon you have begun a new round of mongering for deletion. You in fact are being completely dishonest here, and must cease it. Yours, Wikiuser100 (talk) 15:51, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did not such thing. You are apparently also not familiar with the article's history tab, as you confuse actions by some anonymous editor with my actions.

How Sacred Harp music is sung

Keep The article Sacred Harp discusses the book and its historic context while this article discusses singing techniques so I don't see any good case for just deleting this. It probably needs a better title, like Characteristics of Sacred Harp Singing. It's not a technical guide and WP:NOTHOWTO does not apply as it's a description of a practice not a manual for doing it. I share concerns about sourcing and possible OR so there is certainly a need to improve this but I don't agree that we're in deletion territory at all.

~~Keep~~ – Prod declined for no valid reason. I declined with this edit summary: "it's not a HOWTO; it's not 'overly technical' but a reasonably well sourced encyclopedic entry; it's part of a set of subject-related articles; this PROD doesn't seem uncontroversial *and* it didn't mention any of WP:SPEEDY; take it to AfD."

- @Michael Bednarek: Do you still think a merge would be valid? Sacred Harp already covers most of the major points. I see no reason for all of this to be spread across four articles. I'm a professionally trained musician and even I found this way too technical. Would you accept a merge of the more major points? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 07:06, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not sure the main article will benefit from merging the relevant parts of three other articles into it. The current arrangement doesn't seem to cry out for some sort of remedy. It's just one of the more esoteric corners of Wikipedia, of which there are many. I won't object to a merge. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:07, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Migrate: How Sacred Harp music is sung, Leading Sacred Harp music and Pitching Sacred Harp music have some decent sources but these are mixed in amongst a lot of original research and anecdotal how-to content.

Keep/Move to Characteristics of Sacred Harp Singing. This article is well written. The points it makes about traditional European singing music lacking what we today would call proper notation is spot-on. Apparently Sacred Harp is similar. Studies of the unwritten rules of interpretation are encyclopedic. The article is not a how-to-guide. As a side note as to the usefulness of this content, I would be pleased if someone added some similar discussion of the non-written tradition to Hymnody of continental Europe. In terms of technicality, it is more understandable than the continental Europe article. There is going to be technical terms due to the nature of the topic. There is no way around that. As far as dotting/lilting goes, this is another issue of interpretation that was not written in older singing musical notation. Exactly how to reproduce period music is a scholarly, encyclopedia-worthy topic. This is not really a how-to article.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 08:43, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Henderson & Co v Williams

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

This article has so many issues. I can a copy of the court decision at ~~[12]~~ (I determined this to be a reference to a different case) and I've found a source I can't access that seems to mention the subject at [13]. This case does not seem to pass WP:GNG ~~or WP:CASES~~. Most of the information I can find is from similarly named cases from different years, and I can't find much in the way of this case ever being used as a precedent. I can't state with 100% certainty that it fails "1. It is the subject of a reasoned opinion of the highest court of a country, state or province." from WP:CASES, but that's just because the article does not indicate the court it was tried in, although it is in Category:English contract law (this is the only indication of which country this case is from). Even if enough is turned up to pass WP:CASES, This would qualify for WP:TNT. This article doesn't even have citations. The only references to this case I was even able to turn up were on Revolvy (typically a Wikipedia mirror) and a blogspot site. Fails both the general ~~and subject-specific notability guidelines.~~ Hog Farm (talk) 06:39, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RE where the case was heard, and what standing the ruling might have, given that it is cited as QB it was heard in the Queen's Bench Division, which is part of the High Court. While certainly not "the highest court of a country" (which seems to me an unduly onerous test, given that very few cases end up in the Supreme Court!), or even the second highest for that matter, the High Court is nevertheless one of the senior courts. I'm not commenting on whether this justifies the article, just wanted to explain that particular point. HTH, DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:07, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Law-related deletion discussions. Hog Farm (talk) 06:39, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CASES is part of a page which explicitly states that it is a failed proposal. What is more, it didn't just marginally fail: there was very nearly 100% consensus against the proposal when it was discussed. It is therefore not at all appropriate to cite it as a criterion for notability. JBW (talk) 16:32, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@JBW: Big oops there - I typed "Wikipedia notability court cases" into Google trying to find the subject specific notability guidelines, and it took me straight to the section in the middle of the page. I never saw the failed proposal header at the top. Striking out that part of my argument from the rationale. Hog Farm (talk) 17:05, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The case is referred to in a number of sources I have found, and it may possibly be notable enough to be the topic of a Wikipedia article. ~~(I am bewildered as to why the only "references to this case" HogFarm could find were Revolvy and blogspot.)~~ However, even if it is notable to be the subject of an article, this article is not the one. The text of the article consists entirely of unattributed copies from two sources, and is written in terms appropriate in the contexts from which they are copied, but not for a Wikipedia article. There is no context to allow a reader to understand what the case means or what its relevance is. It uses legal jargon which will be totally opaque to well over 99% of readers. (For example, how many people will have the remotest idea what is meant by "having attorned to the purchaser, was estopped from impeaching his title, that the refusal to deliver was a conversion"?) There are no references, and no indication of why the case is notable (if it is). It would be possible to rewrite the text to make it comprehensible, but that would still provide no context or evidence of notability. The article has existed in a totally unsuitable state since 2015, with nobody taking any steps to improve it in that time; it is unlikely that anyone is going to do so now, and if they are, then they can just as well start from scratch. JBW (talk) 16:21, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found a lot of references to a "Henderson v. Williams" from North Carolina a few years later. If I'd known for sure that it was from the UK, I would not have made the nom (My search engine is set up in a way that it highly prioritizes sites from the United States, and I haven't been able to get this changed). Hog Farm (talk) 17:07, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was forgetting that search engines such as Google can sometimes produce very different results for the same search from different people, depending on what it thinks is likely to be relevant to those people. Prioritising results from the country one appears to be in is one of many ways that is done, so it's perfectly likely that Hog Farm's searches may have failed to produce the mentions that I found. JBW (talk) 19:29, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move to draft. The case appears to be noted in at least one textbook (and, from a quick Google Books search, possibly others), so it may be salvageable. While it is true that the article could be redrawn from scratch, why do that when this can be used as a starting point? BD2412 T 17:01, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By "some award", I guess you refer to the Science Award in Electrochemistry, which is cited with the news article on the BASF website (not the YouTube video). There is only one winner annually. She has also been named a Beckman Young Investigator, now clearly mentioned in the lede, which is only awarded to a handful of academics – an award which does have its own Wikipedia page.

Delete She appears to be a very promising early career researcher but the current article doesn't provide evidence that she yet meets our notability guidelines. ElKevbo (talk) 03:33, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TOOSOON. The citations are on the low side for a higher citation field, and the awards are early career recognitions only. If she keeps it up, she'll likely make WP:NPROF, but not at this time. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:10, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I haven't yet had time to evaluate this particular case as fully as I should, but I'll confess, I don't really understand the "only early-career awards" dismissal in general. Arguably, what matters is how much a person stands out from among other researchers at the same career stage. We wouldn't delete an article on a chess prodigy because they're only seven years old. What matters is the degree of recognition conferred by those early-career awards and how exclusive they are. If a person is documentably top-notch among early-career scientists, then it's already not too soon. XOR'easter (talk) 16:39, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the early career awards meet WP:NPROF C2. A terminal associate professor who showed early promise (including winning such awards) should not be Wikipedia notable. Since notability is not temporary, the early career academic who is showing promise (as evidenced by awards of this type) shouldn't be either. That said, the early career awards do not detract from notability either, and if the subject has reached notability under WP:NPROF C1, or has received an award that does meet WP:NPROF C2, then we should keep the article. From what I understand of the citation levels in chemistry, her citation record doesn't show this, but I'll listen carefully if anyone gives evidence as to why it does. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:07, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion is better held at Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics). Briefly, my interpretation of that part of the guideline is a way for us to "take the long view" of notability and focus on people who have made lasting contributions and impact. Of course, if someone doesn't meet those guidelines then we can always apply the general notability guidelines if there are sufficient sources so we're not hemmed in if an assistant professor has other ways of meeting our notability guidelines. ElKevbo (talk) 15:48, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:ACADEMIC is not met: assistant professor, and just a single article with considerable citations. A private industry award to boot. I heavily lean towards delete at this time, but she's got a long career ahead of her for sure. PK650 (talk) 21:35, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above discussion, WP:PROF, WP:OUTCOMES, and WP:TOOSOON. Se does not pass our standards for academics, not having met any of the criteria. We almost never agree here at AfD that an assistant professor is notable, and only rarely an associate professor. She is too early in her career to assess her impact.

I don't see how a small village in a municipality is notable enough to be on Wikipedia. It only has one source, which isn't independent, and it only has one sentence. Doesn't seem to good with notability. Minecrafter0271 (talk) 00:25, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

keep The village is definitely there, though I can find very little about it in current documents. The word "municipality" is misleading in that an area which is largely rural and only has a few thousand residents all told is hardly a city by any standard; the term probably translates better as "township". There are, btw, some problems here in that the locations given for the other villages in the municipality are implausible. But as a rule we have held towns which we could document at all as notable, and there's definitely documentation for this one. Mangoe (talk) 01:16, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
