  • Delete it is a travesty that an only IMDb supported article has lasted 14 years.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:05, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep He was in the main cast of Intelligence and his roles on various shows, including Madison, indicate he meets WP:ENT #1. Searches in a few Proquest databases have retrieved reviews that cover his performances in certain films and stage performances as well as articles about his career. I'm adding a few but not all. Canadian Wikipedians may have better access to sources. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 14:29, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • DiamondRemley39 is there a way that we can access these sources? Do readers need a Proquest account? Cardiffbear88 (talk) 00:10, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Cardiffbear88, you would need Proquest access, but I don't know that one can get a Proquest account. Most US universities and library systems have at least some Proquest access; one accesses through one's library account. You could try interlibrary loan. Do you need clarification on one or more of the sources? DiamondRemley39 (talk) 00:14, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • Thanks. I’m just not sure how other !keep voters can assess the quality of the sources, or how substantial the coverage of the subject is, unless they all also have Proquest accounts. Thanks for the tip, I will check with my local library. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 00:18, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • Cardiffbear88, sure thing! Per WP:NEXIST, it is enough that the other sources exist; other editors may or may not get to evaluate them depending on the resources available to them. Without database access, one could start by looking up the publications and named authors to see if they appear to be of the reliable secondary source caliber. Again, there aren't really Proquest "accounts" to my knowledge. Proquest owns the rights to reproduce the content in certain areas within certain collections; much of this content is available outside of Proquest as well. Don't get hung up on the "via" part of a citation. I believe I was fairly specific in my contributions to the article, so again I ask whether you have questions about the content added to the article as it pertains to this AfD. That what I added are more than passing mentions should be apparent. As beyond-the-Google research by me and RecycledPixels indicates that there is significant coverage, it would be considerate and even prudent to withdraw the nomination before more people spend time on this page... And before it starts snowing. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 02:24, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • I don’t think it’s wise for me to withdraw my nomination until I can locate the sources for myself, so I will search these out and allow other editors to debate the nature of the sources. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 03:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Meets WP:ENT for significant roles in notable films. DiamondRemley39 has added some additional sources and film appearances to the article, I did a quick search on newspapers.com and found plenty of references to Canadian Indie films in Canadian newspapers that establish his notability, e.g. "The Vancouver Connection", Toronto National Post, 28 November 2000, p.E3. RecycledPixels (talk) 20:50, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: As per the above "Keep" arguments. Dflaw4 (talk) 17:37, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep passes WP:NACTOR as validated by the multiple reliable sources references added to the article so that deletion is no longer necessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 20:03, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Per nom. While a search can be location biased Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and if there are sources "out there" then proof needs to be offered. IMDb is not a reliable source (See: WP:ELP, WP:RSPS, and WP:RS/IMDB), and creating articles then one day (maybe) in the future finding sources is backward to the intent of Wikipedia WP:policies and guidelines. I am not opposed to recreation if sources are presented. WP:NEXIST states: Wikipedia articles are not a final draft, and an article's subject can be notable if such sources exist, even if they have not been named yet. If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate. However, once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface.

This is WP:NOTNEWS, and the deaths of three innocent people are not 'interesting', but sad when it was a local story.

  • Keep. It's been argued that anyone whose name survives from antiquity is notable; I'm not sure I'd go that far, but this is someone widely known in antiquity, even if relatively little is written about him. Diogenes Laertius, cited by this article (which is simply a transcription of the brief article in DGRBM), has an anecdote about him ("my instrument speaks for me"); Athenaeus of Naucratis mentions an essay on flutes, apparently considering him the same as Archytas the disciple of Pythagoras, whom he says was a flute player, like many Pythagoreans (but it's possible that Athenaeus is confusing two people, one a musician and one a mathematician). Pauly-Wissowa has a brief notice (Archytas, No. 4), which mentions erotic poetry, and cites something else to Athenaeus (I think; Google Translate's German is credible, but it can't always identify oblique or scholarly references). It may well be that the musician, be he the same or different from the mathematician, is mentioned in other works; but either way, the fact that we don't know a lot about him doesn't make him non-notable.

  • Keep but move to Blake Moore (Utah politician). I think it just scrapes WP:GNG as there are plural news sources, at least a couple of which are significant coverage. I've cleaned up a lot of the article to reflect this and to make the tone a lot more NPOV than it was. However, the content of the article is for the most part nothing to do with him being a businessman, and about his politics, so it should go there. If consensus is to keep, Blake Moore also ought to be disambig'd. Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 11:19, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment As an unelected politician he doesn’t pass WP:NPOL so we’re left with WP:ANYBIO. A few mentions in his local press don’t demonstrate notability. Mccapra (talk) 13:36, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they have not won — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, and people are not exempted from having to pass NPOL just because a small handful of local campaign coverage happens to exist. Some local campaign coverage always exists for every candidate in every election everywhere, so our entire concept of maintaining notability standards for politicians at all would be meaningless if every candidate could always exempt themselves from it. Rather, to be deemed a special case who warrants a Wikipedia article, the candidate has to clear one of two particular tests: either (a) he already has other claims of preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article anyway (i.e. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) he can be credibly claimed as much more special than everybody else's candidacies in some way that would pass the ten-year test for enduring significance, by virtue of his candidacy getting nationalized media attention that has already made him nationally famous (i.e. Christine O'Donnell). But neither of those things is being shown here at all, so he's not entitled to an article just for being a candidate. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, since his notability claim will thus have changed from "candidate" to "officeholder", but nothing here is enough to already earn him a Wikipedia article today. Bearcat (talk) 17:52, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not at all notable. He has done nothing yet of note. He will not be notable unless he wins the general election in November. He has not even won the primary election yet.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:25, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or alternatively redirect to 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Utah. The subject is more interesting than most political candidates because of the High School Heisman award he won in 1997. However, winning the award is not notable in itself. It appears the rest of the coverage is campaign related and as Bearcat mentions, routine coverage of congressional campaigns does not meet WP:NPOL. As an alternative to deletion, it is acceptable to create a redirect to the 2020 House election page (for Utah). No prejudice against recreation if the subject wins election. --Enos733 (talk) 04:08, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is an instance of WP:MILL; it is a relatively short street, extending from Ocean Parkway to Third Avenue, almost entirely within Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn. Numerous parallel streets are just as long, passing through the same topography and street grids, but this has an article due to its width and the fact that it's a named street rather than a numbered one. The only portion of this article that is notable is the history. That section can be incorporated into the Windsor Terrace article, which does talk about the street grid. I am not convinced that having subway stations or notable buildings itself makes the street notable, despite it having two stations (specifically not the Prospect Avenue station (IRT White Plains Road Line), which is another street altogether in the Bronx) and an NRHP-listed building. Lots of streets in NYC have their own subway stations and NRHP buildings on them, which does not make the street itself notable, but is just evidence that the three major subway companies in NYC had an intense competition. epicgenius (talk) 15:44, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Major and important avenue in Brooklyn. The book The Brooklyn Theatre Index has an entire chapter dedicated to it.[8] Forgotten NY dedicates extensive coverage to it.[9] And the Long Island Herald has a piece about one if its famous residents and goes into detail of the history of the avenue.[10]. And if it's important enough to have two New York Subway stations, Prospect Avenue station (BMT Fourth Avenue Line) and Prospect Avenue station (IRT White Plains Road Line), then it's important enough for Wikipedia. Oakshade (talk) 01:34, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Analyzing the sources, The Brooklyn Theatre Index appears to be just that, an index that provides listings of locations on Prospect Avenue (and many other streets, for that matter), and the existence of perhaps important venues along it does not confer notability to the thoroughfare itself. The Long Island Herald piece is primarily about Dr. Frederick Grubé, with only a few sentences about the street itself as a journalistic backdrop for the rest of the piece. I'm not certain about the Forgotten NY piece, but it just seems to be another directory of information about random sights and buildings along the street based on observations (and ostensibly to promote their tour business) without any mention as to why the street itself should be deemed notable other than the first part of the first sentence. --Kinu t/c 07:43, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Not that this matters, but this comment by Oakshade has a mistake (it does have 2 subway stations, just not the ones you cited). Prospect Avenue station (IRT White Plains Road Line) is in the Bronx. The other station on Prospect Avenue is Fort Hamilton Parkway station (IND Culver Line). epicgenius (talk) 19:20, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There are two major subway stations at this major thoroughfare in Brooklyn. Many important institutions are on this street: the Grand Prospect Hall, P.S. 10, R.C. and Episcopal churches, restaurants, professional offices, retail stores, one of New York City's few charging stations for electric cars, etc. Bearian (talk) 21:23, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. The existence of a notable building on this street does not make the street itself notable.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:24, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Further, the existence of subway stations does not make a street notable. These can easily be construed to be located in Windsor Terrace rather than Prospect Avenue and it will still be just as valid of a claim. epicgenius (talk) 19:20, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The claims of notability do not add up. Directory listings, a mention in coverage in the local paper about a person who lived on the street, and so on do not add up to notability. If you cannot name the allegedly notable church, I have doubts it is notable. The use of the laws of a state as a source is an example of using primary documents. The article is entirely sourced to a sub-city level paper and there are not sources presented above that represent broader coverage of this roadway.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:55, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:28, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A German "hyperspeed" black metal band. (Btw, don't know where that came from since no one wrote or said that in relation to this band, only sites that mirror Wikipedia.) But that's besides the point. I think they are simply not notable to be included in this encyclopedia. It has a primary sources tag since March 2008 (!) and no one fixed the article with reliable sources. But they don't exist either. I did a Google search and I found the usual stuff: unreliable databases like Metal Archives, Spirit of Metal, Rate Your Music and the like, Spotify, Amazon and Facebook pages, blogs, forums and pages which only mentioned the band/only covered them trivially. Tell me: which one of these indicate any notability? Neither of them. The only TRULY reliable source I found was a Rock Hard article which reviewed their "Hosanna Bizarre" album. Despite having a cult following as I noticed in some websites, it seems like they quietly slipped past the attention of notable media. But prove me wrong. Maybe there are some sources that are reliable and provide good coverage about this band. I did not found much. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:26, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:31, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any notability here. The only sources cited is a website whose description says "with biography contributed by band" so it's not independent from them, and the other source is their record label, which is not independent from them either. Their simple name also makes it difficult to make a Google search. I think they are not notable, but prove me wrong.

The article is an extreme WP:POVFORK of articles like Anti-Serb sentiment, Propaganda during the Yugoslav Wars and others. IMO there should be a speedy delete process for extreme POV articles whose WP:LEAD begins with The Demonization of the Serbs or the Satanization of the Serbs (Serbian: Сатанизација Срба) was systematic[1] planned and deliberate demonization of the Serbs was pursued in Western media as a propaganda technique and war strategy during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990's. --Maleschreiber (talk) 15:30, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I came here intending to push deletion but you have multiple independent sources that discuss the demonization of Serbs during the 1990s. That's specifically separate from a general dislike of Serbs as a people or the general concept of propaganda during the latest Balkan war. I'd have a hard time claiming that the topic itself isn't notable. Merging this content into other articles, with the amount of source material available, is going to run into WP:UNDUE issues. I think we have no choice but to keep it, even if the topic seems to be partisan invective. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:08, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
They don't discuss this subject, they are a collection of sources whose authors consider the treatment of Serbian leadership or Serbia in general in the Yugoslav Wars by western media unfair or just mention the term, but this is not a subject in itself. This is the definition of WP:POVFORK: the presentation of one particular view about a legitimate subject as a subject in itself by assuming that the particular POV - extreme POV in this case - is a neutral mode of presenting a subject, in this case Propaganda in the Yugoslav Wars.--Maleschreiber (talk) 21:14, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. This FPIF piece, this from Politico, and this piece in The Guardian all speak directly to this subject. I don't see original research here. The quotes provided in the other citations state that there was demonization, although I think you're making a stretch to say that they don't think the demonization, itself, isn't a subject. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:40, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
These articles are opinion columns. One of which seems to pacify or almost justify crimes because of crimes from WWII (and leave out another group’s crimes from that era, interestingly). Disturbing.... From the same FPIF article “ They still have Srebrenica. But like the other inflated or untrue elements of the demonization process, they have it by cheating. There’s no doubt that there were executions at Srebrenica, but nothing like 8,000”. Sources like that definitely are questionable........Also on the same site there is a direct response from another editor FPIF Counter linked in the article. This is why scholarly sources are sought after. For a stronger topic. Two pov articles clashing doesn’t really do so. OyMosby (talk) 21:21, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris troutman: I am somewhat curious (actually), as I am not sure I understand your argument here. Is there a difference in the application of WP:UNDUE here and in Anti-Serb sentiment?--Calthinus (talk) 21:14, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Calthinus: My point is that the Western media bias against the Serbs in the 1990s would entirely take over the article about propaganda in that war. The article about anti-Serb sentiment is about racial animus in a general sense across history, not the demonization to create the political consensus for various NATO interventions. I agree with Griboski that there should be aname change to this article but neither merge would be appropriate. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:40, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What you're saying presupposes that most Western media coverage about Serbia (not the Serb people) was illegitimate/biased in itself and/or based on fictional events which were used to "create the political consensus for NATO intervention". The belief that negative reporting about the state of Serbia was created to form a consensus about NATO intervention is shared by almost noone outside of Serbia and for the very few non-Serbian authors who espouse it, it usually goes hand in hand with conspiracy theories related Bosnian genocide denial. That article by politico is not related anyhow to the purported subject matter of this article. Also, it's a massive WP:UNDUE to accept the opinion of one Guardian piece as fact, when the points in that piece amount to a massive POV. Clark is a heavily criticized outlier in political commentary: RFERL: Clark has been making a name for himself as a leading apologist for Milosevic, for Serbian war crimes, and more recently for Putin's actions in Ukraine. But this time he has really gone too far. ---Maleschreiber (talk) 14:57, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alas, should the article be more focused and clear about some events? Yes. Does it need more sources? Yes. But why should we destroy something which has just started to develop? It is not unknown that the "interested parties" in the Yugoslav and some other wars used demonization (comparison to Nazis and what have you, which is/was quite moronic considering how many Serbs died from the hand of NG and their puppet states) in order to gather support from their voters and fellow politicians for several key moves during the same events. 3) There are multiple RS used and more can be found.

WP:TNT most certainly applies here even in the off chance this is a notable topic. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:35, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The Anti-Serb sentiment article pertains to a general hatred of Serbs based on their identity. This article is about the role the Western media played during the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s, which some (reputable scholars) have observed as being biased against Serbs or contributing to a demonization of the people as a whole. That is a worthy topic on its own. If the article is to be salvaged, it should be re-written and toned down to make it more NPOV and less conspiratorial, with a different title. Alternatively, its good portions could be merged into other articles. You can't state things like "The Demonization of the Serbs or the Satanization of the Serbs was systematic, planned and deliberate" in Wikipedia's voice as if it were a fact, especially in the lead. --Griboski (talk) 00:55, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment- So, let me clear the air a bit: what you said, basically, is that "demonization of Serbs" is anti-Serbian sentiment only expressed, "specifically", during the war of the 90's?!--౪ Santa ౪99° 02:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, I never said that "demonization of Serbs" is a phenomenon unique to the 90s; only that the perceived demonization of Serbs by the media during that time is a notable issue in of itself. --Griboski (talk) 02:52, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Side comment about the sources: Many of them come from Serbian politicians and authors with a particular POV. See: Tomislav Nikolić, Žikica Jovanović, or the SLOBODAN MILOŠEVIĆ INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE Their POV coupled with that of some western authors is the core of this article, which presents a very minor viewpoint of a larger subject (Propaganda in the Yugoslav Wars) in wikivoice as an actual subject with the title "demonization and satanization of the Serbs" and flat-out weird claims like Former Yugoslav minister of foreign affairs Živorad Jovanović estimated that satanization of the Serbs was particularly increased during Rambouillet negotiations. Editors should also be aware that part of the non-Serbian bibliography is used out of context in the article and is unrelated to the purported subject.--Maleschreiber (talk) 12:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Devonian Wombat and Peacemaker67 give a good summary of the reasons why this article should be deleted. An article dedicated to the West-Serbia relations and public opinion during the wars or an article focused on how Western media did see Serbia at the time would be acceptable if written in a neutral way, without conspiracies and fringe stuff. If one wants to contribute to that topic, a new article should be created as this one is beyond the limits. Ktrimi991 (talk) 12:49, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (2)- I wouldn't mind, actually, if we keep the article, and start-over from scratch (WP:TNT), this time describing the phenomenon for what it is: a dramatic and costly instance of self-victimization. I am not sure if Peacemaker67 had that in mind when he mentioned WP:TNT in his "Delete" post, but for this idea to come into fruition editors would have to be willing to invest time and energy in writing it anew - it's just an idea.--౪ Santa ౪99° 14:36, 13 May 2020 (UTC) On second thought, this is unnecessary complication, and anything worth writing about the phenomenon of self-victimization in Serbian society can be included in any of the articles close to the subject. Sorry.--౪ Santa ౪99° 14:42, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment OR, despite one's POV wishes, we can include that aspect ALONG with legitimate criticisms (some coming from RS) about the media's portrayal of Serbs during this period. Because I hadn't realized Benn, Chomsky, Herman, Taylor, Black, etc. were all Serbs engaging in self-victimization. --Griboski (talk) 15:39, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Chomsky appears to be questionable by some such as Christopher Hitchens (who was critical of multiple ex-Yugo governments of the time) stating “ My quarrel with Chomsky goes back to the Balkan wars of the 1990s, where he more or less openly represented the "Serbian Socialist Party" (actually the national-socialist and expansionist dictatorship of Slobodan Milosevic) as the victim.” I don’t think anyone is saying Noam Chomsky is Serbian but rather is biased and dismissive of the Milosovic regime. It’s not POV automatically to not support a POV article.OyMosby (talk) 17:13, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My POV remark was regarding the editor's confinement of the entire subject to mere self-victimization (as if it was entirely invited), thus dismissing any legit criticism of the depiction of Serbs in the Western media as put forth by some writers. It wasn't about support for the article. Chomsky's views can certainly be challenged, but his standing as a prominent scholar cannot. Hitchens was left-wing and became more conservative and a warhawk after 9/11. He had his own biases. --Griboski (talk) 18:47, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Really? Hitchens’ criticism of Chomsky and Milošević’s regime tied to “more conservative” and “warhawk era post 9/11”? Not to mention he was very much critical of the right-wing Croatian government and flirtation with Ustashe symbology as well as the right-wing Serbian government and Chetnik friendly aspects in the 90s. Being a prominent scholar does not override issue with bias. Hitchens was critical of both regimes and Chomsky yet I did not find information that depicts Hitchens as biased about the war. Or that his views changed on the 90s. He was to the left and his views did not change on both the Croatian and Serbian governments’ behavior. OyMosby (talk) 19:00, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm only saying that his views gradually began shifting during the 90s, partly as a result of the war, changing drastically after 9/11 and that opinions can change for the better or for worse. My point was that every political commentator is capable of being biased. Not that he was right or wrong about his views on Yugoslavia. You can find instances of Hitchens being labeled an Islamophobe for his criticism of Islam for example. The number of people criticizing a source doesn't tell you about the validity of their opinion on a particular stance either. You refute Chomsky as a source but seem to have a grandiose view of Hitchens because he criticized both Serbian and Croatian nationalism. I'm not suggesting Chomsky can't be biased or wrong on an issue, but that doesn't preclude his views from being included in an article as he is a reliably published academic. He is not the only individual cited regarding the demonization of Serbs. So I'm not sure what your point is. This discussion is veering off-topic. If you have a concern about a source, you should take it to the reliable sources noticeboard for review. --Griboski (talk) 21:14, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OyMosby, indeed, Chomsky has come under sustained fire -- from the mainstream left and the mainstream right alike -- for many of his other stances as well, with accusations including Cambodian genocide denial [11] (Santasa99 may take some interest in this one too [12]) and normalizing Hamas, a terrorist group with a genocidal ideoology. He is respected by a minority of the left-wing, and none of the right-wing. His works in philosophy and in linguistics (where he also is the centre of some unrelated controversies) are irrelevant to the serious POV issues with relying on him for anything political. Not that Chomsky is the only fringey intellectual this page relies on; in fact the page's very scope is fundamentally reliant on the POV of a very specific subset of the Western political spectrum, as I'll demonstrate below.--Calthinus (talk) 21:36, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment POV aside, we have Demonizing the enemy which gives a solid basis for the article name. Considering that the article has some problems, which are solvable, even if gets deleted it gives us a great foundation for another article which would be more NPOV. Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 16:17, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That article was created by the same editor and has many of the same problems like this article. If any editor subjected that article to editorial oversight, it would probably get nominated for deletion. The reality is that none of the content here could provide a standalone article because it is an extreme POV viewpoint about a subject turned into a standalone article. If you want to improve something, find a consensus with those involved on Propaganda in the Yugoslav Wars, don't create any more POVFORKs.--Maleschreiber (talk) 17:04, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It doesn’t make sense as a separate article to begin with. The article Demonizing the enemy is a general article about demonization. It was raised that there aren’t Demonization of [insert country/ethnicity] articles. anti-blank sentiment articles already exist. Also in relation to the editor’s previous comment, it is “moronic” to label any ethic group or country of millions as “Nazis”. A tactic used by Milosovic as well despite lack of mention in the article in question. It is not “moronic” for their reasons however, as despite the fact that countless Serbs were killed during WWII (and I understand where they are coming from with this), there were Serbs who supported and collaborated with the Nazis as well. Milan Nedić and his Regime. On top of that Chetniks collaboration with Axis forces. A part of history often ignored or left out of discussion. And let’s pretend for arguments sake it never happened, a country that was victim of abuse doesn’t mean it cannot become an abuser in the future or that it negates the actions. That is a logical fallacy. Again I am talking in terms of this rationale. There is no reasonable logic to label a country or people as “Nazis”. Between this kind of talk and the POV article this seems more like PoV pushing on Wikipedia as if it were a blog than an encyclopedia. As the article implies some sort of “misunderstanding“ of the Milosovic regime who is depicted as simply vilified “for some reason”. Also “WP:JDL” is becoming a joke counter argument by some editors at this point. As it can go both ways. OyMosby (talk) 17:13, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If such valuable info can be included elsewhere... how is this page necessary? There is a page like Stereotypes of Jews: Anti-Serb sentiment.--Calthinus (talk) 21:36, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Maleschreiber has already demonstrated the structural reliance of the page on a set of authors with obvious COI issues (like the prominent Serbian politician, Tomislav Nikolic, known for his role in the right-wing populist[1] SPP... among others). Without them, though, we still end up with a page whose scope is shaped specifically by the views of adherents from a specific ideology that is rejected by the majority of the political spectrum. This includes Noam Chomsky, who I have discussed further above, but the portrayal of far-left/paleoconservative opinions as scholarly consensus is not limited to the use of his works in WIKIVOICE. Example citations include Edward S. Herman who is controversial on the left and on the right for trying to mitigate a then-ongoing genocide in Cambodia [13], Carl Boggs' Imperial Delusions: American Militarism and Endless War, Robert W. Merry's Sands of Empire: Missionary Zeal, American Foreign Policy, and the Hazards of Global Ambition, and Michel Collon. The latter might just be the most dubious of all: his tirades on Israel veered so far into what is deemed anti-Semitic that he was disinvited to the Beirut Francophone Book Fair (you know, Lebanon)[14]. He then sued for defamation, and the court threw out his case as "groundless". He also stands accused of falsifications [15], Hamas normalization, spreading conspiracy theories [16][17][18], genocide denial [19], and unethical "advocating for Bashar al-Assad" [20].
To be clear, I am not saying we can never cite people with fringe views, what I am saying is that we cannot have a page whose scope is shaped by their views, I am illustrating how it is the very definition of WP:POVFORK. That's not an NPOV issue that can be solved by improving the page, because any discussion of the actions of the Serbian government that triggered the alleged "satanization" is either omitted or at best crammed into a small background subsection (the scope would lead to predictable accusations of WP:COATRACK were any balance to be added). This page is exactly like what a page Demonization of Hamas would look like if it were created (using, no surprise, likely the same authors). --Calthinus (talk) 21:36, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is very disturbing to compare the fundamentalist militant organization and one whole ethnic group. I understood that the article just describes such examples... how is this page necessary? There is a page like Stereotypes of Jews: Anti-Serb sentiment. But there are also Antisemitism and Stereotypes of Jews pages. Ok, it's not necessary, but the content should be incorporated into other articles. I said keep or/and merge.--WEBDuB (talk) 21:50, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think they are trying to compare them to Milosovic’s regime not the Serb ethnic group itself. As the article mainly deals with Serbia as a country and the government. So making this as an example of what “the article just describes” would be incorrect. Again I agree with merging relevant and RS contents to relevant pages as you said earlier. In proper npov as well. Not almost depicting anyone as bigoted for criticism of a regime’s actions as attacking an ethnic group that regime is said to serve. Which is what the article comes across like now. Something used throughout history by countries and governments to deflect criticism or history. And hence problematic when Wikipedia will appear to be used as a tool to carry such actions forth.OyMosby (talk) 22:25, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WEBDuB Indeed the proper comparison is between the Hamas regime and Milosevic regime. You've stumbled on the fact that indeed my comparison was inadequate. The proper comparison might indeed be a page that portrays criticism of Hamas as racism against Palestinians which is even more WP:POVFORK. Stereotypes of Jews is a subset of Anti-Semitism with a significant bibliography. An analogous page for Serbs, sources-willing, would not make the POV allegation that a specific period of media coverage was in fact a massive racist conspiracy spanning from German to American media and PR firms, but instead could discuss derogatory stereotypes of Serbs. For example, I would absolutely support a page that called out anyone who claimed that Serbs are somehow uniquely prone to genocide -- the whole world has seen that Germans elected Nazis but now have a stable democracy that is at the forefront of defending human rights, and prominent Holocaust scholars have called out blaming Nazism on some sort of German essence is flat out anti-German racism. But this is not that page. This is a POVFORK that could nearly be considered an attack page.--Calthinus (talk) 22:36, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Again, ethnic slurs and attacks would go an “anti-blank sentiment” page as is already the way such pages function. I believe the Anti-German Sentiment page does just that for demonizing ethnic groups on the actions of those within the ethnic group. OyMosby (talk) 22:47, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For me the key is sourcing of the framing. Sourcing establishes Stereotypes of Jews as a notable article. If WEBDuB is right and there is non-fringe RS that establish such for a specific sort of "demonization" of Serbs, then sure. But that's an "if". Another big difference is that there is much scholarship on anti-Semitism. --Calthinus (talk) 23:17, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Re: Chomsky & Herman. Calthinus, from the Cambodian genocide article: "Scholars and historians have varying opinions on whether the persecution and killings under the hands of the Khmer Rouge should be considered genocide. This is because the earlier scholarship which came about right after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1979 had claimed that the victims could have been killed due to the circumstances they were in." In this interview, Chomsky explains that the book was written based on information available at the time and they made a conscious effort to remain objective, due to the reliability of some sources.1 For his part at least, he doesn't dispute the interviewer's repeated genocide characterization.
I agree that some of Chomsky and Herman's views (particularly on Srebrenica & Israel for example) are at the very least controversial. Your above link to the website "capx" however also contains links on the page to inflammatory and potentially libelous statements such as "Edward Herman was a racist, misogynistic fraudster" by that same author. Chomsky and Herman's works on the media such as Manufacturing Consent are standard reading material in Political Science, Sociology and Media/Communications Studies courses in Universities. If you're looking for exclusion of their opinions on topics such as these because of "other stuff", you'll find resistance. I agree about the unreliability of most sources in this article though, particularly the Serbian ones. --Griboski (talk) 20:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Griboski Hey I'm just pointing out the controversy; those two men have thrown around some accusations of their peers being involved in imperialist war machines, some have thrown accusations back at them. And I have made it very clear, bolded in my full statement below, that I am not looking for exclusion of their opinions on topics such as these. The issue here is that we have a page framed by their views, not that it includes them. But to be fair you do somewhat acknowledge this in your argument that the page should be renamed (and thus reframed). I just don't think you go far enough. --Calthinus (talk) 23:32, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I did see your comment in bold above, but just wanted to make sure; so I appreciate the clarification. Indeed, I agree with the gist of what you and some other delete voters are expressing. I just don't feel strongly enough to say that the entire article should be deleted as parts of it are useful for entry into a re-worked version or merged to other articles. --Griboski (talk) 23:56, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would propose a couple of options. One, creating a general article about what most of this article is alluding to, but written in a NPOV style. Something like Western media coverage of the Yugoslav Wars. It could give a general overview of the subject, major events and include a section on criticism coming from certain intellectuals/public figures on portrayal of Serbs along with counter-opinions from scholars like Ramet and Hoare challenging this view. The other would be to simply add a "Western media" section in the Propaganda during the Yugoslav Wars page. --Griboski (talk) 22:20, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The second option seems best. As it’s how all participants involved in the Yugoslav Wars and their depiction in various medias are placed. Merging into Propaganda during the Yugoslav Wars. It would also provide a wider view of the whole topic to readers. OyMosby (talk) 22:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sure I'm fine with adding "Western media" to "Propaganda during..." if and only if there are non-fringey sources that explicitly call it propaganda, which I have not yet seen. There are plenty of places that actually useful material can be placed. But most of this page consists of citing fringe voices (Michel Collon etc) and politicians (Nikolic), and then stating their theses in WP:WIKIVOICE, so it isn't really useful for the most part anyways.--Calthinus (talk) 22:57, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am fine with inclusion of "Western media" aspect into "Propaganda" article too, and just like Calthinus, I will follow development there with great sense of urgency, maybe even zeal, because I won't sit idle and watch some kind of switcheroo unfolding, with moving nonsense from here to there.--౪ Santa ౪99° 00:50, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To the reader who may not know the history of Večernje novosti, which published Vuletić's piece: this is a Serbian newspaper which during the Yugoslav Wars promoted the worst kind of pro-Milošević war propaganda. It is famous in the Balkans for editing a 1888 painting to make it seem as an actual photograph which depicted a war crime supposedly committed by Bosniaks.

” a professor at the University of Belgrade (which is far better than most, if not all, universities on the Balkans)” Multiple Balkan universities are in the top 500 list of world universities.

I'm not here to judge... What I have previously stated is a cold fact, regardless of anyone's take on it.

The only coverage I can find is a local news article from 2001 about new owners' plans for the property] and a mention in a list of historical post offices in El Dorado county.

  • Keep. A post office would normally only be established if there was a community to be served, so I think that the community must once have existed. Once notable, always notable. Little Norway is also the endpoint of this trail managed by the United States Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit. This article (page O-8, page 242 of PDF) about Bullthistle (Cirsium vulgare) , an invasive species, says: "One of these specimens, as noted by Smith (1984) was collected in El Dorado County, along US Highway 50, near Little Norway (west of Echo Summit); ...:" Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:30, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Also called "Phillips' Station"; several commercial enterprises occurred there, including a post office. It was also a stop on the Pony Express. See [23][24][25] Magnolia677 (talk) 23:13, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (@Zanimum, Eastmain, and Magnolia677:) I've done some research and Phillips Station is the same place as Phillips, California, several miles to the west. The listing of Phillips Station as an alternate name for Little Norway appears to be a GNIS error; Phillips/Phillips Station/Vade is a separate location from Little Norway. From this document on historical post offices of El Dorado County, these passages are relevant:
    (page 21) Little Norway: This high mountain post office, sixteen miles east of Kyburz and five miles west of Meyers, was established on Sep. 2, 1961, when the mail was moved here from the Vade Post Office (Phillips), three miles to the west. Don Peterson was the first postmaster. The Little Norway Post Office is now closed
    (page 33) "Vade: This post office at Phillips Station, located seven miles southwest of Meyers, was established on Sep. 3, 1912 with Sierra Nevada Phillips Bryson serving as the first postmaster. . [ . . . ] When she tried to get a post office in Phillips she was told that name was taken. Consequently, when the post office was established it was named Vade - her nickname. On September 2, 1961, the post office was moved three miles east and renamed Little Norway, a post office that has now closed. Phillips, also casually known as Pow Wow, after the restaurant and gas station located there ("Eat at Pow Wow and get gas" the sign said for years), is the location of Sierra at Tahoe (formerly Sierra Ski Ranch).
    (page 12) "Echo: [ . . . ] On Dec. 11, 1926 it was reestablished and renamed Echo Lake Post Office. On Jan. 31, 1961 it became a rural station of the Vade (Phillips) Post Office. On Sept. 2, 1961 it was changed to a rural station of the Little Norway Post Office.
Furthermore, the mere presence of a post office doesn't indicate a community per se. I have personally been to at least one non-notable business establishment that houses a post office (the general store in Tuolumne Meadows within Yosemite National Park). "Little Norway" presumably was simply a convenient place for a post office (which, if similar to Tuolumne meadows, was just a desk and a pickup/dropoff window within the establishment, not a full-fledged building) for the dispersed collection of houses comprising the informal community of Echo Lake, California. CJK09 (talk) 17:13, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the efforts that have been put into finding sources for this location, but it's also important to approach these topics with a critical eye. The post office list and topos make it clear that this is not the same place as Philips/Vade (these were actually different locations where the post office was housed), and the claim that a post office indicates the presence of a community is unsupported by any sort of evidence. This type of reasoning is what got us into the whole GNIS mess in the first place. As always we need to search for significant coverage or solid evidence of legal recognition that would meet our notability standards, and I'm not finding any here. –dlthewave ☎ 02:37, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I found one source that discusses Little Norway as a place preceding the resort, a source about a different, earlier fire there, and then there's all the other sources other people have found. Even if we do consider this place to be a resort and not a community, we're getting to the point where we're finding enough sources that it meets GNG regardless. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:17, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep lots of sources found talking about both the resort and the small community near the resort. We have a decent article that may even be out of stubland, and lots of other potential available sources (though there are a fair few false hits.) SportingFlyer T·C 08:47, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer: Which source mentions a "small community" nearby? –dlthewave ☎ 14:32, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The one that comes to mind specifically is the 1967 fire. SportingFlyer T·C 14:34, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I can't access that article so I don't have the exact context, but based on my local knowledge of the area (I've been back and forth through the area many times, and I've gone up to Echo Lake once or twice) I strongly suspect that the nearby "small community" is Echo Lake, California. My understanding of the area is that Little Norway was a lodge/station very close to the small community of Echo Lake, and I haven't seen anything to change that. CJK09 (talk) 14:49, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There's still lots of coverage of Little Norway over many years with residences, businesses, post offices described. It's still a clear easy keep - WP:GEOLAND doesn't demand much in terms of notability, and WP:GNG is passed anyways. SportingFlyer T·C 15:04, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the clipping about the 1967 fire. I'm not finding any sources that describe multiple residences and businesses; from what I recall about the area, it's common to find mid-20th-century lodge/roadhouse type establishments that include some combination of store, restaurant, guest rooms, gas station, tire chain rental and post office on the property. Most of the local coverage doesn't go into detail about what exactly Little Norway is, but phrases such as "extensively damaged Little Norway", "the inside of the building was gutted" and "the building's owners" (emphasis mine) wouldn't make sense in the context of a community. –dlthewave ☎ 17:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to nitpick over what one specific article says - what's clear is that this geography, whatever it might be, passes WP:GNG if not WP:GEOLAND. The sources cover it like a community (versus that of a resort), there's plenty of press, and we have a perfectly valid article. SportingFlyer T·C 23:10, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria at WP:ENT require that the article also satisfies the basic notability guidelines that "...People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."". These are the criteria that have not been met with this article.  Velella  Velella Talk   21:00, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, the criteria at WP:ENT state clearly that they are independent critieria. If your only reason for being notable is that you have such coverage (like, say, Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian), then you meet GNG, but if you are a notable *actor*, you don't *also* need to meet the same coverage criterion. Above the specific notability standards (including ENT) it says: "People are likely to be notable if they meet *any* of the following standards" (such as ENT). If everyone had to meet WP:GNG, then there would be no reason to have all the more specific criteria. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:53, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable architect with no in-depth coverage on him or his work only passing mentions and fails WP:GNG too. If there is no in-depth coverage on him from reliable sources then the subject in question does not warrant a standalone article on Wikipedia.

Poorly sourced porn star BLP, who fails WP:BASIC and WP:ENT. RS citations in the article don't support the facts asserted or are trivial in nature. Independent searches for RS coverage yield allegations of bad conduct coming mainly from one podcast. The coverage is not very deep and the sources are less than blue chip quality.

Football coach who fails GNG and NFOOTY. No significant coverage, never coached a fully-pro team BlameRuiner (talk) 08:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I support this page staying up for several clear reasons.


1. It is hypocritical of NFOOTY to claim this coach is not with a "fully pro" team as the wikipedia entry for NISA clearly states its a professional league - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Independent_Soccer_Association
2. I find it highly suspect that entries pertaining to USL League 1 and USL Championship are left unquestioned when there are many sources - including myself who is involved in professional football in the U.S - that can tell you there are players on $0 contracts who only earn pay if they are rostered which goes against what apparently is considered "Professional" on wikipedia.
3. This team participates in the National Cup (US Open Cup); most recently being in the 2nd round vs. a USL Championship team.
4. GNG is fulfilled on this article via citations 4, 7, 12.
5. The following citations are reliable as they come from universities: 2,3,5,9
6. The coach in the article coached for and was director for SF City FC - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_City_FC - if this is notable enough for a wiki page, how is the coach not considered notable enough to mention? With no coach, there is no team?
7. The University of San Francisco Dons Mens Soccer team is considered notable enough to have a wiki page and is a significant program within the U.S - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Dons_men%27s_soccer - again how is this considered notable but not the coach?
8. There are other coaches who have only coached college soccer in the united states with wiki pages such as - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Gunn - how are they left unquestioned and up on wikipedia given no appearances for a professional team occurred? (not passing NFOOTY) It seems there are very uneven guidelines followed on wiki.
9. My final comment is that I have seen and heard of many NISA related coaches, players, and teams being questioned on Wikipedia while the USL leagues are left unchecked. The USL is well known for trying to kill off competitors (NASL) and I feel its a little strange this keeps happening while the USL who runs perhaps less professionally then NISA at times - despite being 1 divisions higher - is left alone. Could this all be another ploy for USL to kill off more competitors? By getting rid of as many NISA related posts as possible? Futbol10p (talk) 08:28, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per nom, has never been a head coach in a WP:FPL. Virtually a copy-paste, with slight changes, from here. To break down all the points from @Futbol10p: above: 1) The NISA is not listed at WP:FPL, and therefore it is of no relevance what is stated on the league's article. There are no sources shown to state that the league is fully professional. 2) WP:OTHER is not an argument against deletion. Stating your involvement in the game also brings up questions of a possible WP:COI. 3) Cup participation is irrelevant if the club is not in a WP:FPL. 4) Neither source four or seven is directly about Tenorio, he's just quoted in them. He literally does not appear in ref 12. 5) Although those may come from universities, they aren't enough to pass WP:GNG. Not independent of the subject. 6) First of all, he was an assistant for the club, not the head coach...second of all, notability is conferred completely separately for clubs and individuals. 7) Exact same as number six. Assistant coach, not the head coach. Fails WP:NCOLLATH. 8) OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Also, Gunn meets WP:NFOOTY by playing in the A-League and meets NCOLLATH by winning multiple coach of the year honors and three national championships as a coach. 9) Absolute conspiracy theory with no sources to back it up. Even bolder considering that the NISA has lost three teams (two folded) before even completing a full season.
(Sorry this is so long. If anyone would rather I address these at the user's talk page, feel free to notify me and delete all these points.) Keskkonnakaitse (talk) 16:53, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • appreciate the detailed response; my comments as follows: The distinction between a HEAD coach vs. Assistant has no bearing on WP:NFOOTY guidelines as it only states the need to be a MANAGER which is not specific to a head coach or assistant. In general, a "Coach" is not the same as a "Manager" - see following; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manager_(association_football) - Also stating that the article is a copy paste with slight changes calls into question the entirety of Wikipedia and is a contentious and misleading statement. Everything on Wikipedia is a copy-paste with slight changes otherwise there would be no need for citations and wikipedia would be creating original content, akin to a media/news or publishing company. Without referencing outside media or citing existing work - how is information created within wikipedia? Citation is essentially copy-pasting that is acceptable because the original source is referenced.
1. Here is a link to an official document from the United States Soccer Federation provisionally approving NISA league as D3 Professional - http://www.ussocceragm.com/book-of-reports - page 91 on 2020 Book of Articles. Also saying that the NISA article that the general public can access and review, is not relevant because its lacking listing on WP:FPL is dubious as it questions the legitimacy of wikipedia as a whole. The argument using @Keskkonnakaitse basis would mean that unfactual things are allowed to be posted on wikipedia and should just be disregarded because a mod said so. Also apart from the USL's own websites there are no other sources proving USL to be sanctioned by USSF. Strange that NISA is in question with an official document from the federation proving its legitimacy but not USL.
2. How are articles on Wikipedia created without involving subject matter experts on them? That would mean that COI is rampant on wikipedia per your argument or that Wikipedia lacks legitimacy with only non-subject matter experts creating and commenting on articles. This is a weak claim and sets a precedent that only people not involved in football can speak about football matters or articles.
3. Again, contradictory here that a club is not relevant because its not in WP:FPL even though it clearly participates in a competition deemed relevant for a clubs inclusion in WP:FPL. Here is a schedule posting of LA Force's participation in the US Open Cup posted via the United States Soccer Federations own website, see "West Region" - https://www.ussoccer.com/us-open-cup. Note this is also the first round PROFESSIONAL clubs are included.
4. Per WP:GNG "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Both citations mention Tenorio but are not required that he be the main topic. Also who determines what is trivial? What is wikipedia's definition of a trivial mention? This seems largely undefined and left to any reader's or editors discretion. If you review Tenorio's involvment via the SF City FC website (archives) its easy to connect that he was a coach for the game as well since he was employed by the club during this time period.
5. Universities are accepted as reliable sources and their page on Tenorio are not identified as such - advertising, press releases, autobiographies, or related to the subject's website - which does not exist. It is a bio on a hired staff member - not to be confused with an autobiography. These are written and prepared by college marketing departments not written by coaching staff though they may approve its release online.
6. Again insistence on Assistant vs. Head coach has no bearing on the argument. A coach is a coach of a team and is involved in decision making regardless of the Head or Assistant distinction. Also WP:NCOLLATH clearly states in an example that head coaches or assistant coaches can be referenced. The line used "Well-known" as a distinction is also baseless - who determines who or what is "well known"? The media, editors, general public? CNN? God himself? Lastly to add, winning the WCC Conference and entering the second round of the D1 NCAA Tournament are indeed considered "a major NCAA Division I record" within the collegiate sports realm. If every team achieved these feats easily, nothing would be major in collegiate sport competitions; there is a reason only a limited amount of teams from Division 1 are selected for the tournament.
7. Same as #6 - WP:NCOLLATH allows for head coaches AND assistants. Actually does not fail WP:NCOLLATH so long as assistant coaches are used in the example provided by Wikipedia itself.
8. This is a fair point and have no opposition to this.
9. This is actually inaccurate and sounds like a condemnation of the league by editor; 1 team - Miami - moved to a new league. The other two teams have actually not folded and are currently "inactive" as listed and looking to rejoin the league in 2021 with increased investor support. This information is known if you are a football fan actively following the various leagues and news throughout the U.S. Another reason why subject matter experts should be more involved with Wikipedia entries and not just casual fans.

  • GiantSnowman is a well respected contributor, I would not expect them to "retaliate" on any article much less take something personally on an article that clearly fails our notability standards. SportingFlyer T·C 03:38, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Donald Trump is the President of the United States and I'd expect him to not tell people that drinking lysol is good for you but that happened... Am I supposed to just take your word on that? All I am looking for are arguments based on facts not opinions. Futbol10p 21:38, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm telling you you're casting aspersions by implying GiantSnowman has voted based on their own opinion and not on the content of this article. I can also guarantee they are not voting against you because you opposed them on a different article. I don't really care if you don't believe me, but we're getting to the point where you should refamiliarise yourself with WP:BLUDGEON. SportingFlyer T·C 05:27, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete clearly fails WP:GNG, there's not a reliable secondary source anywhere near this article, no others have been demonstrated, and it reads as if it was written by someone related to him or someone was paid to write it. Also fails WP:NFOOTY. Won't respond to any bludgeoning, either - this should be an easy delete unless other sources are found. SportingFlyer T·C 03:38, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's very easy to sit behind a screen and make sweeping comments about editors and if they are related or paid, etc. Just like I can say that SportingFlyer comments sound like they are written by an upset coach whom Tenorio defeated in a soccer match - there is no basis for these comments and do not add anything to the discussion at hand; speculative at best. I am not here to attack anyone but to question very real points being made on the legitimacy of the article and of the policing of posts relating to soccer across all of Wikipedia; too much of soccer is smoke and mirrors and how does anyone determine what is actually black or white? Especially non subject matter experts. That is not meant as an insult either but as a real point of contention. I would never make comments on posts relating to the NFL for example because I am nothing more than a casual fan.
  • Now that brings me to the real question I want to ask and would like serious responses to. How are these citations - #s 4, 7, 9 - not considered adequate secondary sources and what qualifies as an adequate secondary article to improve the legitimacy of this article? Thank you for your constructive input. Futbol10p 22:00, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • You should read WP:ASPERSIONS. The article goes into a level of detail you don't typically see regarding his fluencies and coaching licenses (all unsourced) which is why I suggested the COI. Regarding notability, in #4 (the SFGate blog) he is only asked to make a one-sentence quote, there is no coverage on him specifically. Being quoted in an article doesn't count for notability. #7 (Protagonist Soccer) is both a blog and interviewed him, neither of which count towards notability. Article #9 only mentions him once in an article that's entirely unrelated to him. We have WP:V, but we are a long ways off from notability. SportingFlyer T·C 05:25, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm honestly not trying to denigrate anyone and aiming to create discussion based on valid counter arguments is all; apologies if you feel otherwise. Tenorio's fluencies and licenses are all mentioned in the following citations and public information; #s 3, 5, 6, 8, - again clearing up the idea there is COI. I do appreciate your feedback though and won't lose sleep if this article is deleted or not. More than anything the biggest takeaway for me is that NISA is not considered "fully professional" which I have taken to WP:NFOOTY to be addressed. Futbol10p 22:47, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nwaora Augustine David

There is a bit of backstory to this BLP: biographies about Nwaora were created and recreated by seven different sock accounts in March-early April of this year. (See the edit histories/deletion logs of Augustine Nwaora, Draft:Augustine Nwaora, Draft:Augustine (Austyn) David Nwaora, and Augustine David Nwaora, as well as Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lionel4power/Archive). The current version was created about a week after the la(te)st sock was blocked, but I am not entirely convinced that the creator of the current version is another sockpuppet which is why this is at AfD and not tagged as G5, and I don't want to derail this discussion about the article's merits with SPI stuff.

Sock or not, I am certain that there is WP:UPE involved. One of the blocked sockpuppets said that this was a "client biography", and I estimate the likelihood that the current creator would have independently discovered and researched and created an article about this person, under a subtly different title to avoid detection, to be just about zero.

The reason the article has been deleted and draftified more than once is a lack of notability, and that is still true. Nwaora does not meet WP:ANYBIO – he did not meet it in March, and he still doesn't. None of the sources in the article is independent – there are two press releases (both of which have been represented twice or thrice as different sources, but it's the same PR) and two puff pieces with photos from Nwaora's press kit, and text that's found elsewhere. I take a very dim view of people who use Wikipedia to promote themselves or make money, but fortunately that doesn't even have to be considered here since the person is so clearly not notable. bonadea contributions talk 07:30, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. The policies cited by the delete position have not been adequately supported in terms of identifying what direction the POVFORK is, what the mainstream argument is if it is FRINGE, and NOTINHERITED applies to blanket statements about notability rather than the existence of articles based on shared content.

  • Keep. This article seems to be about the general topic, and would stand on its own well-sourced feet even if all the Nangeli material was removed.

  • Nangeli's notability is important to note here because all of the sources talk only about Nangeli, than Breast tax. 42.106.4.156 (talk) 16:51, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • As it currently stands, this article simply repeats what is found in Channar revolt, and almost all of that is verbatim. It is pointless to have such repetition, and it can lead to forking. If the Breast Tax is independently notable, then there should be references about it that are independent of the Channar revolt of Nangeli, and it should be mentioned only briefly in the Channar revolt page, letting anyone interested follow the redirect. If sources only talk about it in those contexts, it should be Redirected to Channar revolt. Agricolae (talk) 17:32, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I agree that the subject lacks coverage independent of Nangeli and Channar revolt, however I don't see any WP:HISTRS covering this subject or Nangeli, that means all of this could be recent hocus pocus. Lorstaking (talk) 09:11, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One source in the article says, "We can’t teach students about Nangeli’s sacrifice in textbooks yet because there is no exact date for it, and needs more evidence".

  • Keep and resolve through informed discussion. The interrelationship (and/or validity) of the three articles mentioned and whether all or some should remain standalone articles is too complicated and subject-specific to resolve through a "keep/delete" vote under an arbitrary seven day deadline. postdlf (talk) 16:08, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The topic seems to pass GNG, there are reliable in-depth sources, and as for Nangeli, the topics are related but distinct. Historical/legendary character versus real historical event (legislation, whatever). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • For passing GNG you have to be independent of the main subject which is "Nangeli" here. You should show sources which prove that they are independent of Nangeli. The historicity of "Breast tax" is dubious. Sources have been greatly misused on this article, such as Cohn who's book never mentioned "breast tax". Don't just rely on the bogus look of the article, better look into the article and assess the sources. As Lorstaking mentioned above, this is all "recent hocus pocus" with no coverage in academic literature. Mohanabhil (talk) 06:48, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whether the tax was real or fictitious, there doesn't seem to be a legitimate question as to whether it's notable...so it was either a notable, historical law or a notable legend/hoax. Also whether it is best discussed just in the context of the Nangeli legend or as a separate standalone topic is really a question of merging/redirection at best, not outright deletion. As I said above, this really needs to be resolved through normal editing and discussion, the article development questions raised are not appropriate for AFD, per WP:ATD and WP:BEFORE. postdlf (talk) 14:57, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails WP:GNG and per my comment above about source falsification on the article. I don't see any mention of this allegedly historical practice in academic literature. Mohanabhil (talk) 06:48, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Mainly because of lack of independent coverage and lack of historicity per BhaskaraPattelar. This is sufficiently a POVFORK of the main article. --Yoonadue (talk) 14:26, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm recusing myself from !voting as I came here as a result of an IP canvass; I'll leave it up to whoever closes this to evaluate the appropriateness (or not) of my comment. That said, aside from what is in the article already, there are a plethora of peer-reviewed materials which discuss the tax.[2][3][4][5][6]

By the start of the 19th century the ordinary people of Travancore were being required to pay as many as 100 petty taxes, ranging from head tax, hut tax, marriage tax and taxes on the tools of one's trade to taxes on the family cow, goat or dog, wearing jewellery, staging festivals, growing moustaches, and above all what became known as the breast tax, mulakkaram, by which the women of lower social groups had to expose their breasts or pay a tax. The Brahmins, naturally, paid no tax at all.

The Pooja Raja in Travancore made the Malarayans pay money at the rate of one anna, two pies (8 pies) a head monthly as soon as they were able to work, and a similar sum of presence money besides certain quotas of fruits and vegetables and feudal service....The head money was called Thalakaram in the case of males and Mulakaram (breast money) in the case of females.
Whether this should be part of a larger article on gender, caste and conversion in 19th Century southern India or perhaps caste structures in Travancore, it is clearly a separate issue from that of Nangeli or the Channar revolt...none of which should be discussed here, as AfD is not ...wait for it... clean up.

Source no.1 is about Channar revolt. Source no.2 has no mention of a "breast tax".[35] Source no.3 is from 2018 and is just a passing mention. Source no.4 is also just a passing mention.

  • Strong Keep -- I note that the first three references are very modern publications, making it clear that he topic has recently been in the media. Whether historically it happened on not, the fact that it is believed in the mainstream media and discussed is quite enough to warrant an article. This is a wider topic than Nangeli or the Channar revolt, so that having an article is justified. There appear to be a number of WP:RS. The basis of the nom appears to be IDONOTLIKEIT, which is no basis for AFD. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:50, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is utter nonsense, given the dubious historicity of the subject depending on the notability of a folk legend named Nangeli and the subject has been already debunked by another modern scholar. Rumors and lies are also "believed in the mainstream media", but Wikipedia is not for righting great wrongs. This is not a wider topic than Nangeli or Channar revolt, but solely depends on the notability of Nangeli and Channar revolt that is why there is no need to retain this POVFORK. Either way, you don't have any sources to support your highly illogical views. Wareon (talk) 02:55, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Manu Pillai's piece from The Hindu is anything but a "debunking"; it confirms the existence of the mulakaram, among many other issues. "When Nangeli offered her breasts on a plantain leaf to the Rajah’s men, she demanded not the right to cover her breasts, for she would not have cared about this ‘right’ that meant nothing in her day. Indeed, the mulakkaram had little to do with breasts other than the tenuous connection of nomenclature. It was a poll tax charged from low-caste communities, as well as other minorities. Capitation due from men was the talakkaram — head tax — and to distinguish female payees in a household, their tax was the mulakkaram — breast tax. The tax was not based on the size of the breast or its attractiveness, as Nangeli’s storytellers will claim, but was one standard rate charged from women as a certainly oppressive but very general tax....When Nangeli stood up, squeezed to the extremes of poverty by a regressive tax system, it was a statement made in great anguish about the injustice of the social order itself. Her call was not to celebrate modesty and honour; it was a siren call against caste and the rotting feudalism that victimised those in its underbelly who could not challenge it. She was a heroine of all who were poor and weak, not the archetype of middle-class womanly honour she has today become. But they could not admit that Nangeli's sacrifice was an ultimatum to the order, so they remodelled her as a virtuous goddess, one who sought to cover her breasts rather than one who issued a challenge to power. The spirit of her rebellion was buried in favour of its letter, and Nangeli reduced to the sum of her breasts." The woman who cut off her breasts The Hindu, 17 February 2017. As above, whether this article should be renamed to cover broader issues related to caste, servitude and taxation in Travancore, whether it should remain Breast Tax, or something else ... is a perfectly reasonable discussion ... just not something for AfD.

This aticle is actually more notable than that one, given it's about an unusual historical tax and that's about a person who may be mythical. Neither is it fully covered in Channar revolt, given it persisted long after that revolt. It's well-sourced and I'm having difficulty making sense of the delete votes. I'm always a bit suspicious of AfDs where canvassing has gone on. What's the issue here? Someone (or some people) seems very keen on getting it deleted.

A list of games without any stand-alone notability, by a developer that does not have an article on it. Fails WP:GNG / WP:LISTN.

There are three games listed. In the WP:VG/RS custom Google search engine, they all three get very little to no results.

  • Mind Run is listed at GameSpot, and that's the only mention.
  • Digi Follies gets zero results
  • Word War 5 is only mentioned in a list of similar games

There's no coverage on developer Crealude either. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 06:44, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The company is non-notable, and so are its games. Why have a list about a non-notable topic's non-notable sub-topics? In response to the nom, the one GameSpot hit for Mind Run is a database entry pulled straight from GameFAQs, which is user-authored and not reviewed by GameSpot/CBS Interactive staff. Digi Follies and Word War 5 have very (very) brief reviews in one issue of Next Generation, but I wasn't able to find any further sourcing that went deeper than those five sentences on the web or in the Internet Archive. IceWelder [✉] 08:28, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • So someone redirected two articles that were two years old to here, and decided to put all their games listed in one article. The games listed that got reviewed in reliable sources are notable enough to have their own articles. I suppose since those articles were so short and no one felt like expanding them, the person figured to just merge them here. Dream Focus 09:16, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Remind me again how one review of six sentences constitutes notability? That's not significant coverage. @BOZ (who probably isn't aware of this discussion) likely created both in good faith, but they would have been candidates for deletion themselves regardless.

  • Redirect to April_Fools'_Day_Request_for_Comments#List_of_April_Fools'_RFCs, where it is mentioned. I'm not sure that vanity is a reason for deletion. While most RFCs are considered standards, I was unable to find secondary sourcing for this RFC. Basic facts, such as its existence and date of publication, are verifiable in multiple sources in GBooks. I could believe that this is a plausible search term, so a redirect that places this half-serious RFC in context seems a reasonable way forward. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 10:37, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete a non-notable mayor.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:09, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While a genuinely substantive and well-referenced article about a mayor of La Crosse WI could potentially be kept, that's not what this article is: this basically just résumés his career background and says almost nothing whatsoever about his political impact in the mayor's chair, but mayoral notability depends much more on the latter than the former. As for the six footnotes, five are primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, and the only one that actually represents media coverage about him is from a local radio station in La Crosse, which means it isn't enough to singlehandedly get him over WP:GNG all by itself as the only piece of media coverage in play. For him to be notable enough for a Wikipedia article, there would have to be a lot more substance, and a lot better sourcing, than this. And for the record, every single other person in Category:Mayors of La Crosse, Wisconsin has some other notability claim over and above having been mayor of La Crosse per se, such as going on to serve in the state legislature — so the fact that some of them have articles is not in and of itself a reason to exempt Kabat from having to clear our notability standards for mayors the normal way.

WP:NOTABILITY. The entire page consists of three short sentences about a man with little to no information about his life outside of the feat that made him """famous;""" additionally, the only citation on the page leads to a dead website, and almost every Google result about him copies from this article word-for-word. If "Hurlinger" deserves a page, then everyone who has ever featured in the Guinness Book of World Records for an unusual and quirky feat deserves one as well. Also, according to the German Wikipedia page on "Hurlinger," his record was falsified and his actual name is Johann Haslinger, meaning that the article is relying on a factually incorrect Guinness World Record. HawthOffHead (talk) 02:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment German article Falsified seems a bit strong. It could well be simple mistranslation. It appears that rather than walikng on his hands he was in some type of wheeled cart and simple propelled himself with his hands. So... a bad article based on a dead link that appears to have been based on a mistake. The question is, was there sufficient coverage to make him notable for what he did do (and under his actual name), and does the mistake by Guiness help? Meters (talk) 06:16, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's very little coverage that can be found on Google Books. Most of it is just Guinness and books aimed at children that likely copied Guinness. The only two books that may not have directly taken his story from Guinness or the article are far from notable coverage; one is about mythological creatures and the other about vascular transport in plants, and both make very brief mention of him to show how humans can use their arms and hands like legs and feet before moving on. And that's under the Hurlinger name, making it likely that those two books took it from Guinness or Wikipedia as well, especially since both were published in the 2010s. Under Haslinger, it's even worse - not a single mention on Google Books or Google News, and the only mentions of him under that name on the first ten pages of a Google search for it are copies from the German article. It seems obvious, at least in my opinion, that the mistake by Guinness is the sole reason anyone in 2020 knows about his supposed record, and that there was next to no coverage until it was made.

  • Keep I'd argue that while interviews shouldn't be used to establish something mentioned in them, OTOH the mere _fact_ that a WP:RS decided to interview somebody, is good enough to count for notability purposes. Would SF Weekly interview me (or millions of others)? No. But they did interview Brandon, so there should be something special about him. Ipsign (talk) 07:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ipsign: actually I stongly agee with you, but is this a wikipedia policy or not? we should establish that interviews, at least those on very good media, count at least for notoriety. speaking of these Interviews, SF weekly is a local paper right? something distributed only in the sf bay area. so we have 2 interviews one of which on a local news paper, I don't believe that makes someone notable for WP standards. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 10:08, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment Honestly it is a bit confusing to me. I personally wrote Carlo Masi bio and to be accepted I was asked (otherwise they woulsn't accept it) to show consistent presence on national and international papers (mainstream). Carlo Masi is just an example, I can see other porn actors who can present such sourcing. So, why are we keeping articles like this one basing on one single article which happens to be a half interview? I see people are voting keep and I accept it but I would like to understand why they are doing so, what is their keep based on?. When I nominate an article I expect 3 possible results: the article is deleted, the article is improved, I am given an explanation of why I wouldn't have nominated that article and how the sourcing proves notability. Here I can't see any of these results happening. We are discussing if one single article. How many people had an article like this in their life? Bilion, I really can't see how in good faith one can say that this article alone proves notability. where and what did you find in the guideline that makes you suppose that one or 2 articles make person notable?. what I feel is that some people are voting keep basing on their personal perseption of this subject. when we deprecated pornbio we decided that porn is not a short cut to wikipedia. people of porn hav to show the same level of notability than the others. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 10:36, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think you may want to take a break from your quest to delete articles in this area. The sources usually exist but for systematic discrimination do not pop in a plain Google search.
    • LGBTQ content is typically discriminated against; there are leading national, regional, and locally-focused media which almost never are tracked by Google.
    • Gay porn news is almost never going to show in a Google search without the exact website.
    • Loads of mainstream, and gay-porn focused print media is not accessible online, but have done in-depth articles and interviews—which are certainly acceptable—have to found offline.

@Gleeanon409: googling any porn actor name will yield many results (ofeten hundred thousands of results) but very rarely there are any suitable sources to prove notability. Now, if we can find a couple of good sources I am more than happy and the page is imporved, otherwise "probably there are sources" is not an good reason to keep an article (even if I read this reason more than once already, see zak spears). I don't agree that porn is censored by google, and there is no problem having sources not online (as long as they actually exist). Some of the article I nominatd have been online for years and if no reliable sources have been added so far I wonder if they actually exist. you suggest me to take a break from nomminating, just tell me if I am being vandalic or if I am breaking any wikiedia rule. I followed everything on before, before nominating and I think my nominations are fair but if I am doing something wrong I need to know. ps. if you answer me please ping me :-) . --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 14:12, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@AlejandroLeloirRey:, I think you are doing something wrong as I just demonstrated. You looked at a poorly written, under sourced article and after some searching(?), assumes it couldn’t become a good or even great article as sourcing didn’t exist. Well it does. And most articles need work, hard research to find information in sources, then re-writing the article to incorporate them. It takes work, and time to do so, far more time than to incorrectly misjudge the situation. When you keep sending articles to be deleted, coupled with perhaps mistakenly misleading nominations, you’re swaying others, who may or may not be mature or wise enough to know where to look, to also make bad decisions. And we all lose when a notable subject’s article is deleted. Gleeanon409 (talk) 14:58, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Gleeanon409: yes, may be I could do more research before nominating and I will do it next time. Still, if an article has been there for 10 years and the sourcing is poor there are little chances to find good sources. like i already told you the fact that a google search yields 10 thousand results, especially for porn actors, doen't tell much about notability. the fact that most of the article I nominated where cancelled and those which were not deleted where relisted at lest once tells me that my nominations where reasonable. I don't want to destroy the porn section of wikipedia but most of the article were accepted under different guidelines. 90% of the porn acotr bio that are now on wikiepdia would not be accepted if they were written today. I want to improve the porn section getting ready of all not notable bios and keep just the bio that are worthy to be kept. speaking of this particular article among all the sources you found, did you find some that definitely prove notability? --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 17:12, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@AlejandroLeloirRey:, you cannot use the current state of the article to judge if a good article is possible, only sourcing and work can tell. You need to do a much better job at researching for sources, IMHO. Gleeanon409 (talk) 17:45, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Gleeanon409: I am going to try harder. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 18:01, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@AlejandroLeloirRey: I'm sure that you're right that 90% of pages in that topic area are not up to current standards. There are two ways you can work on that problem: by adding more to existing articles and making them better, or by deleting articles that are currently bad. I recommend the improvement project instead of the deletion project, because: 1) It will tangibly improve the amount that readers will learn about the subject. 2) Improving pages is something that you can do yourself, without taking up other editors' time. When you put articles up for deletion, it creates more work for other people. 3) You know from your experience with the Carlo Masi page that articles which look non-notable to some people can be built up to acceptable standards. When you try to delete rather than improve, you risk deleting notable topics just because of how it looks to you. Obviously, you are free to do what you want. I find that improvement is more productive, more satisfying, and better for the project overall. — Toughpigs (talk) 18:11, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Toughpigs: so far I did a lot of work on the articles but just not as much on the sourcing. I assumed that I would find most of the best sourcing already in the articles, especially because the articles are old. now, went trough those links that Gleeanon409 gave me and I found a few (very few) that are not that bad and even though most of the articles were not from reliable sources they all agreed that the subject was very important in the field (even though most of the articles where about his getting arrested again and again for drugs). I included those sources in the article (please check I didn't miss understand anything, you know my english is far from being good). Now i feel that he actually passes notability. --AlejandroLeloirRey (talk) 18:41, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article was initially created as part of a mass creation of GNIS stubs.

I'm not seeing anything in here that indicates notability, as opposed to just run-of-the-mill WP:ROUTINE family history. I'm not 100% sure on this one, and maybe it deserves to be kept.

@Russ Woodroofe:, This is one of the reasons why "x per nom" !votes are useless. This isn't a voting process (which the WP:NOTVOTE page explains well); it's supposed to be a discussion that tries to come to a consensus. Saying "delete per nom" is just confusing when (1) the article now contains prose content and (2) no longer has an infobox (when the complaints in the nomination were that (1) there was no prose and (2) a dubious infobox). I guess that raises the question: since none of the reasons in the nomination apply anymore, should this be a speedy keep under WP:CSK reason 1? Ikjbagl (talk) 16:24, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    For what it's worth, there appear to be WP:SET results for community filmmaking, which looks like the same topic.

  • Close analysis of COMMUNITY FILM reveals:

(1) It is not Primary (original) research; the article is almost entirely based on already published primary research, community film festivals, conferences, books, reports, academic papers, stretching back 30+ years; in support of this point there are 30+ citations. (2) It is not a Personal invention. COMMUNITY FILM does not advance any specific author or his/her interests. (3) It is not a personal essay as it does not reflect personal views of a specific individual. (4) There is no evidence of Advertising, marketing or public relations. (5) evidently community film is notable topic and term as it has been used for 30+ years. (6) It is a current topic, with 6,250 references to it on Google News (7) 1,340 books and articles discuss this topic, according to Google Scholar. (8) There is a strong link with another article: Community Media, an umbrella term for various forms of community exhibition, production, theory etc.

However, COMMUNITY FILM is clearly in need of further revision and development to take account of the most recent scholarship as mentioned on the talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.46.27 (talk) 07:41, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Gosh! Is it really 9 years since this article was first posted? I'd no idea it would cause such a controversy!

I'm humbled by the insistence or suggestion that this article is an original contribution to research. (If only it were that easy in Academia). Speaking as a researcher, it strikes me that the article is highly derivative, rather like a non-critical literature review of published research.
Nonetheless, the summary and paraphrase of various academic works still sounds judicious and neutral.

I concur that the article could (should) be revised; for example, it would be helpful to include more up-to-date references to pop culture, e.g. community film festivals and events. Also, there are several points where the tone sounds rather polemical. I can't recall whether that aspect reflects the source texts accurately.
I'm not sure how notability is being defined in this context, however, other than by a computation of academic citations, or Google metrics for News etc. On that score, it appears that the topic has increased in significance in recent years. This development is not surprising, given the rediscovery of community values and the meteoric rise of inexpensive digital media.
Sadly, two of the most recent academic books that survey this topic are priced so extortionately that they are beyond the budget of the general reader who perhaps does not have free access to a University Library. Filmpartscom (talk) 18:33, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
To answer your question about notability, I think the issue is this topic not being specifically termed. For example, DeeDee Halleck is referenced in this article when her book is about community media, and we have numerous books about that. So her quote seems leveraged to build on this actual topic despite lack of a direct connection. As another example, The Video Activist Handbook is referenced to apparently define the term, but the reference does not appear to actually do that. Same with @ Is For Activism: Dissent, Resistance And Rebellion In A Digital Culture not having that term. So when this combines different references that do not actually use the term, it looks like WP:SYNTHesis. I think it's difficult to see the actual scope of this article when "community film" seems like a WP:NEOlogism. If it was a more detailed description of the scope, something like activism in filmmaking, a reader can understand that the article would address the overlap of these two scopes. I don't see a clear definition of the scope as indicated by the sources. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 20:23, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for your various thought-provoking responses
  • Despite having community media in the title, the book by DeeDee Halleck is almost entirely about film in the community.
  • You guys clearly do a thorough job putting articles through the mill! Who'd have thought there were so many pitfalls and challenges?

In response:

I'd be honoured if I'd invented Community film in 2011, but that's not the case.WP:NEOlogism does not apply: several contributors have pointed to the use of community film in connection with annual festivals in Canada since 1990 and the UK (2006-7), whereas various film books record articles on this topic from the 1970s. The article could be improved by referencing these[1].

WP:SYNTHesis ??? Looks to me more like an attempt to be inclusive with a range of references, rather than relying on a single source, which would surely have been challenged as a weak foundation?

This is a positive suggestion: "If it was a more detailed description of the scope, something like activism in filmmaking, a reader can understand that the article would address the overlap of these two scopes. I don't see a clear definition of the scope as indicated by the sources. " --- someone could work on that?
Any any rate the proposed deletion appears to have motivated various people to dig up some useful texts that I was unaware of, and surely they [2]could provide a solid foundation for a much improved article? Filmpartscom (talk) 21:44, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unfortunately, I'm not able currently to track down track down refs mentioned on the Talk page as all our libraries are still closed due to the lockdown, and a key book is unavailable online:

Earliest notable refs [???] to Community Film, e.g. Beattie, Eleanor. The Handbook of Canadian Film (1977). Second Edition: "Teachers and librarians may find the sections "Using Films" and "Film Publications" and the bibliography most useful. In addition to the category "Film Study," the following new sections have been included in this revised second edition: "Community Film and Video,""Native People and Film,""Political and Third World Films," and "Women in Film." "

It's notable that Halleck refers to community video in the context of community access to TV and the showcasing of community film work, which is a very different angle from practical techniques for community filmmaking (pp. 104-106).


Due to the coronavirus lockdown, I'm not able currently to contribute to any significant new version of this article.Filmpartscom (talk) 07:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is it notable that the British government (2013) assumed that there was already a legal framework for Community Film, when it proposed to deregulate the sector? See: Community film Exhibition: A Consultation (July 2013)[3]

The legal framework is also evident here: Statutory Instruments (Great Britain), H.M. Stationery Office, 1972 - Delegated legislation - 25 pages [4]

Most of the earliest refs to Community film date from the 1970s: "In the technical areas, Third World Cinema and Clif Frazier's Community Film Workshop Council were training qualified apprentices and had placed a few with local unions to work on New York films. " p.14 (Black Creation, Volumes 2-6, Institute of Afro-American Affairs at N.Y.U., 1971 -). From the same source: "THE BUS IS COMING: Independently produced community film. A black Vietnam vet comes home and finds racial turmoil brewing after the death of his brother at the hands of a racist cop." (p. 56)

And also some references from the 1940s: "Organized cooperation, at the local level, seemed the best way to begin — and the community film council was on its way. Like any genuine grass-roots movement, initial local film council leadership varied widely from community to community ..." (Saturday Review, Volume 32, 1949, United States)

"COMMUNITY FILM NEEDS AND RESOURCES • HOW TO ORGANIZE AND CONDUCT COMMUNITY FILM WORKSHOPS • HOW TO ORGANIZE A FILM FESTIVAL • HOW TO CONDUCT A COMMUNITY FILM FORUM • HOW TO ORGANIZE .." (p. 137) (School and Community, Volumes 35-36, Missouri State Teachers Association., 1949) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Filmpartscom (talk • contribs) 08:51, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In summary, considerable evidence has now been presented for the historical provenance of the page title and for its notability in terms of popular and ongoing academic currency. Narrowing the title to "activist" potentially increases confusion as it exaggerates a political angle; likewise or "filmmaking" delimits the angle of community education/distribution of film which is essential to the term's use. Finally, I'd argue that this article and its title has the same status and legitimacy as the wiki article on Community theatre, and has useful analogues with Community Media etc. It is agreed that further revision would improve the quality of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Filmpartscom (talk • contribs) 12:50, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I'm not going to say that the topic of community film doesn't belong in Wikipedia, but I don't think this article does a good job of introducing the topic to those who aren't familiar with it. If the article is kept, I think it would benefit from significant reorganization and rewriting. The article needs to give a more detailed explanation of what community film is, such as describing how such films are made and where they are shown, before getting into debates about whether community film has the power to change society. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:36, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The creator of this article has supported it here by citing [37] as referring to a UK proposal to deregulate the "legal framework for Community Film". But that's about removing restrictions on community organizations to show films as long as they do so in compliance with the age restrictions applied by the film censorship board. Local organizations showing commercial films, including Hollywood movies, isn't what this article is supposed to be about. They also cited [38], which makes reference to "an application for the registration of a foreign film as a Community film" and "in Regulation 15(2) after the words 'British film' there were inserted the words 'or a Community film'". This appears to be a reference to the European Economic Community. In summary, evidence being provided here does not necessarily support the apparent topic that the article is supposed to be about. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:08, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to be completely original research. I can't find third party sources that talk about this with any significance.

Tried to address this article over many years and it cannot be fixed. This just isn't a WP:N notable subject because there are no reliable third party sources that establish this as an independent topic. The article is sourced to the author and his estate, and other self published sources from fans. It's at best original research cited to the primary sources, a synthesis of fan-generated theories about the order of episodic content. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:32, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:NEXIST: I see two reliable sources writing about the topic of "Conan chronologies" as a topic of academic interest. The first one is a book chapter that's currently cited in the article:
This appears to be an independent academic work of literary criticism. I see another one here, which I'll add to the article:
This is also an independent work of literary criticism by a reliable publisher, and there is a specific discussion of Conan chronology on pages 88-90, including: "The issue of the Conan chronology has been the cause of a great deal of deliberation, controversy and dispute since 1973 when Kevin Miller was the first to question the validity of the Miller-Clark Conan chronology."
As decades pass, there is a moment for every popular fictional work where "deliberation, controversy and dispute" stops being considered "fan discussion" and starts being considered "literary criticism". This has already happened for Sherlock Holmes and H.P. Lovecraft, and it looks to me like Conan may have crossed that line around 2014-2015. :) I haven't looked deeply for more examples, but I think that these two are enough to indicate that Conan criticism has arrived. — Toughpigs (talk) 02:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I saw the articles you're citing. They barely mention the chronologies. One doesn't even mention them at all. I might have missed it, but the subject of those is critical analysis of Conan as a character and a series more broadly. There's some verifiable material to write into a main Conan topic that fans spend time evaluating the sequence of things. It doesn't mean that you then add detailed lists from 7 different fan theories, only cited to primary sources. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:19, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I believe that some of the early fan theories have been published by independent publishers, and are themselves a secondary source. The primary source is a Conan story. I agree that the article should be edited, with extraneous material cut down. Per WP:ARTN, the current state of the article content does not diminish the topic's notability. People can clean up the article outside of an AfD discussion. — Toughpigs (talk) 16:42, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • At the risk of sounding harsh, if you cut the "extraneous material" -- the primary sourced material -- there wouldn't be an article left. Which is why I proposed AFD. But I'm also looking to build a consensus with editors who do see the issues. Where would you start, if you were to start removing the most obvious "extraneous" parts? Shooterwalker (talk) 16:53, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would start by making edits to the article and discussing changes on the talk page, in collaboration with other editors who are knowledgeable in the topic area. You don't need a deletion discussion to talk about cleanup. — Toughpigs (talk) 17:40, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Like I said, I proposed the AFD because I suspect that once you remove all the primary sourced material you wouldn't have anything left. But I'm asking you -- if the article can be improved, I could genuinely use a little good faith feedback. If you see this RFC at the original research noticeboard, people were telling me to not even bother improving it, years ago. I've come around to their position, because I'm not seeing the improvement, including when I review the sources you pulled up. But in the interest of consensus-building, I remain very much open to seeing even potential improvement, even as small as a comment about what "extraneous material" means to you.

  • Definite keep. It's tiresome that this matter keeps coming up, despite having been retired more than once in the past. BPK (talk) 16:05, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Respectfully, several editors have said on the talk page that this article is mostly a WP:COATRACK for primary sources, even if you include these alleged third party sources that don't actually engage with the topic once you read them. Most patient editors will try to discuss and give it time, but don't mistaken patience for "retiring" the issue. We've avoided AFD until now, but it's gotten to the point where people need to do more than say that sources hypothetically exist. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:33, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also respectfully, you've made these same arguments for years, as archived on the article's talk page. It seems to me they were adequately answered there, and I refer interested parties to that talk page. I see no reason to rehash the whole thing here, though, certainly, new evidence can be brought in (and has, I see). A consensus is being sought on whether to keep or delete the page under discussion. All prior comment I've seen reinforces my opinion it should be kept, and I have expressed that opinion, as you have expressed yours. Absent new considerations one way or another, rejoinders appear pointless. At this point I think we should just let other voices be heard. BPK (talk) 17:12, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The talk page doesn't have an answer. It's a series of "no consensus" discussions. If anything, there was a consensus discussion at the original research noticeboard to remove the original research. But you reverted the removal of primary sourced material after the RFC was closed, and it was out of sincere respect that we re-open the discussion on the talk page. In the short run, you can see those circular discussions as a consensus to quietly improve the article, and I'm happy to hear from people who want to give it more time. But in the long run, eventually, the massive gap between the article and Wikipedia policy speaks for itself. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:54, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect or merge to Conan (books). This is really an odd article. I can't think of any other fiction that has a separate chronology article, and this article really stretches a few third-party sources into a really diluted primary sourced article. But AFD is not cleanup. And we know that any author with a sufficiently large bibliography can have a separate spinout article, if you look at the guideline on Wikipedia:Notability (people). If this were called Bibliography of Conan the Barbarian I doubt anyone would raise an issue. And that bibliography could add a short summary of the chronologies, which could turn the bibliography into a pretty useful table, sortable by year of publication or chronology (the properly sourced ones).

This article is mostly original research, really just a coat rack of examples noted by fans of fantasy and science fiction. There's really nothing to say except fiction plays fast and loose with how much people can carry. Other mundane things that fiction doesn't treat in a realistic way: going to the bathroom, eating, the time it takes to cross large distances, ending a conversation with a proper goodbye... They're funny observations to make, but articles are more than just a list of fan-observations linked to primary sources.

  • Delete - This really does just seem like a large mixture of original research and synthesis. While the concept/gag of something being able to hold more than it should be able to is pretty common, and I do see a few articles describing the term as a "magic satchel", I am really not finding any sources talking about the concept in a way that shows that this is a widely accepted term for the concept. Additionally, we already have an article on a topic that does have sources, Hammerspace, which is basically the same concept.
