  • Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSCHOOL, although I suspect that its a for-profit college so "commercial orgnisations" may apply. I found a news article about two professors from the college who were charged with molestation: [1] [2] however these articles do not satisfy significant coverage of the school. This editor has also created a similar article, so I have WP:BUNDLE the articles together. Let me know if you think they should be separated out. Z1720 (talk) 01:44, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720:, kindly unbundle the college article and take it for a separate AfD. First of all, Indian law does not allow any for-profit educational organization. So technically all play schools, primary school upto colleges and universities are non profit organizations. Secondly, this college seems to have been established in 2012 with thousands of students enrolled in it. [3] It is also properly accredited upto 2022 by the national agency. [4] For me it satisfies notability criteria as per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES hence I have not bothered to look for RS sources. The last point to note especially for ones not knowledgeable about state-wise Indian geography and economy is that it is based in Chattisgarh, one of the poorer states of India which is centrally located so the local media organizations may not have proper infrastructure to maintain online news website. Also such places and their local institutes hardly receive any attention from other bigger media centers of India. Roller26 (talk) 20:24, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Since there was an objection to the WP:BUNDLE (see ^ above) I decided to withdraw the bundle nomination. I'm going to renominate the second article shortly for AfD and I'll notify Roller26 and other contributors to the second article through their talk page. In case context is needed, the AfD that was originally bundled was D.P. Vipra College. Z1720 (talk) 00:33, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Roller26: Hi. I tried to search it online, but I couldnt find anything. Would you provide any source to verify your statement? "Indian law does not allow any for-profit educational organization. So technically all play schools, primary school upto colleges and universities are non profit organizations." Thanks in advance, —usernamekiran (talk) 21:09, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
usernamekiran, this fact is widely known with anyone having basic knowledge about Indian educational system. It's also not hard to circumvent this issue with basic accounting gimmicks and hence a lot of profiting educational organization exits in India under the guise of non-profit companies. You can read the actual Government acts [5] and landmark Supreme Court judgement banning profiteering but this research paper sums it best [6] (just search the word "profiteering). Even the WP page lead section mentions this fact but I suppose the citation link has rotted Education in India. Roller26 (talk) 22:10, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. There seems to be consensus that coverage does exist for this topic. However, even among those who suggest it should be kept, there also seems to be consensus that it is not the kind of sourcing called for by WP:NCORP. Because there were no alternative claims of notability made beyond this standard, when weighing all participation and considering all comments made (not just the bolded !vote) there is a delete consensus here.

Appears to patently failed WP:NCORP and any Wikipedia notability criteria. I can't find any general news coverage about the company online, despite it being active in the internat age. Also written very much promotionally. Time for article to go. Sionk (talk) 21:30, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I see quite a bit of national coverage, like this from The Stage. Check the other articles found here. Also, the article needs referencing, but I don't think it's overly promotional; the statements made are purely factual, if they can be verified. -- Ssilvers (talk) 06:16, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • If there was anything better than the occasional re-hashed press release in a specialist industry publication, I'd of course agree with you. There aren't any articles that are substantially about HQ, in general non-theatrical news sources, which is why the subject fails WP:NCORP. Sionk (talk) 12:55, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • There are 668 Google News hits. Many of them are reviews of shows, or concern a news tidbit about one of the group's theatres at a time. One would have to spend a lot of time assembling all of the information into a full story about the theatre group. But the company operates 13 major provincial theatres in Britain and was, even before leasing its 13th theatre, the 2nd largest operator of provincial theatres in Britain. It is notable on that basis alone, and that statement has been published in more than one news source. -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:23, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • We don't accept stitching together snippets from multiple sources as meeting the criteria for notability. If the company was notable, somebody would have written about it and a reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability would exist without resorting to assembling from multiple sources.

  • Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article or mentioned meet the criteria since most are based on company announcements and/or interviews with company executives and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 14:04, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable session musician, the article is refbombed, with many citations that don't even mention the subject at all and nary an example of significant coverage in a secondary reliable source (although citation #10, to an offline magazine, may be one example).

Dear Rosguill, Steve Forward is not a session musician, but a recording engineer and record producer living in France since 30 years. He was nominated for the "victoires de la musique" (french equivalent to the Grammy´s) in 1998 and 2002. I saw another Steve Forward on the internet, a guitarist, living in the UK; maybe there is a confusion. On the french version of google, I can find further information about him. i.e. there is a new interview for a book called "Studios de legende: que sont devenus nos abbey road francais ?", book published by Malpaso-Radio Caroline Media. Zebulon28 (talk) 09:40, 29 August 2020 (UTC) Zebulon28[reply]

If it's a 1-to-1 comparison to the Grammy's, then I'd say that being nominated doesn't count for much. Can you find any coverage of him in an independent source (not an interview) that is more than a sentence or two long? signed, Rosguill talk 15:29, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have copies of articles (press articles from 1990 which are more than 2 sentences and cover his work during this period) but they can’t be found on the internet. There was no internet at that time. How can I send them to you ? Zebulon28 (talk) 17:52, 29 August 2020 (UTC) Zebulon28[reply]

Zebulon28, either transcribe relevant portions here, or you can reply to the email I just sent you through the "email this user" service and attach documents there. signed, Rosguill talk 17:56, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your rapid reply. I send you an email with the articles from my personal email. Zebulon28 (talk) 18:26, 29 August 2020 (UTC) Zebulon28[reply]

Ok, looking through those two sources, the Sound Check article is another pure Q&A that can't be considered independent. The Home Studio piece also has a Q&A portion, but it opens with some more independent coverage up front. I can't find any info about the publication, but given that it's a print magazine, I'm leaning toward giving it the benefit of the doubt. Overall I think we're still a bit short of GNG, but in a better position than before I had seen that coverage. signed, Rosguill talk 18:44, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback. You will find hereafter links to french internet pages where Steve Forward is also referenced. I mistakenly thought that Q&A interviews were more relevant. As soon that I have a little more free time, I will try to find you some more references. https://www.sounddesigners.org/fr/item/112-steve-forward-ingenieur-du-son-et-realisateur.html https://en-contact.com/la-mort-dorion-cest-un-grand-disque-cbe-cest-quoi/ (bottom of the page) https://podcloud.fr/podcast/autreradioautreculture/episode/steve-forward Zebulon28 (talk) 14:19, 31 August 2020 (UTC) Zebulon28[reply]

Those sources don't look reliable. Sound Designers appears to be a crowdsourced website, En Contact seems to be a PR firm, and the podcast seems like a self-published source. signed, Rosguill talk 14:31, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I’ve looked at this article several times in recent weeks. I guess it’s often hard for a producer to show notability, but it seems that while his work is verifiable, it’s not notable by our standards. Mccapra (talk) 05:07, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: We've seen this before. Sound engineers don't get much written about them, so there's no WP:RS, so they don't meet WP:N. But, let's see if another week allows somebody to come up with some better sources.

Fails WP:NSPORT - hasn't played in a game or been on the active roster of a major professional league. The only thing notable about Beaver is being the recipient of the Gagliardi trophy, however, I don't believe this meets the criteria.

I am not familiar with Wer ist wer?, but I doubt it's any help in establishing notability. If it is anything like Who's Who (UK), it will include any local councilor, lawyer, association president, and businessman active for the post-war period. It may well also allow people to buy inclusion. —Brigade Piron (talk) 10:51, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Where’s your evidence for that? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:18, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have none, especially since I do not speak German. But one reference in a professional directory will never equal "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources" for the purposes of WP:BIO. Even if it is otherwise reliable as a source, an entry of a couple of lines is not "significant coverage" and it is also probably WP:PRIMARY anyway. Plus the "multiple sources" bit is still a problem! —Brigade Piron (talk) 11:30, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think "currently referenced with six independant sources" is rather disingenous. For example, this article merely references a press release made by WPF on behalf of his match business while this article is clearly about Erich Fellgiebel (see WP:NOTINHERITED) and makes as much reference to WPF as it does to half-a-dozen of siblings and cousins. This article literally mentions his name (and no more!) as one of Erich's children. I cannot see how this can possibly constitute "significant coverage" in published sources.—Brigade Piron (talk) 09:05, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP. If only for the controversy surrounding the books he has produced on Nazi era decorations. Dapi89 (talk) 18:28, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Doesn't meet GNG, BASIC or NSOLDIER. This leaves NAUTHOR #1, #3.
  • I don't see that he meets #1 "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." His field would be military history, and I don't believe he is an important person in this field or is widely cited by other military historians. He himself noted how his work was in ways lacking. He might be in a very niche community, but thats the extent of it. He doesn't meet this point.
  • #3 "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work ... such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work". Again this is a niche community, not something that is well known or significant beyond. In addition, there work is not the primary subject of an independent and notable work. He doesn't meet this point
If there was an article about the book, it would have a redirect/merge target, but there isn't and I don't know if the book would have RS that would make it meet WP:NBOOK. Again he himself noted how his work was in ways lacking.   // Timothy :: talk  21:04, 18 September 2020 (UTC)   // Timothy :: talk  21:04, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment. He is called a legend of British poker in [8], hut it is a passing mention. There is a short bio blurb at [9] but is the site reliable? If he was really a legend, there should be better sources, I am afraid he fails GNG. But I am surprised the sport fans aren't shouting keep here due to some statistic catalogues? Wouldn't he pass some offshoot of SPORTBIO which states that if you touch a poker card you are notable? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:08, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I randomly came across this article when it was prodded and then I WP:REFBOMBed it to get some verifiability into it, when I saw it was AfD. Note that searching for "Elvis Senior" occasionally finds additional sources beyond just searching for "Bruce Atkinson". This individual sounds interesting, but the current sources probably don't add up to WP:GNG and I'm unaware of a poker-related WP:SNG that would argue otherwise. It would be helpful to have comments from editors in that area, though. Since the European Poker Hall of Fame does not have an article, the only "merge" target I can think of would be London Lowball; there would be little content to merge, essentially becoming a redirect with a mention on the page about him co-inventing the game. Ideally, more sources could be found to validate this claim. —Ost (talk) 16:20, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete: A new user's first article, describing a design company and the work that it does. The affiliations of the company and its founder do not count towards WP:NCORP, nor does its appearance in a list of design agencies in their city. The lists produced by the DesignRush agency are wider in scope, but there is a lack of evidence that these have independent inclusion criteria or that these listings are inherently notable. Searches find more agency listings but nothing to demonstrate achieved notability. AllyD (talk) 05:38, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep. I was legit not expecting to find anything, as the first few pages of searching produced little to establish notability. I kept digging for some reason (I was bored) and eventually managed to unearth enough to establish notability. I can definitely see why these sources weren't found in an initial search, since they were pretty buried under a mountain of unusable sources, junk hits, and false positives.

    Looks like a non-notable company, tagged for notability since 2009. Of the three sources in the article, the first looks unreliable, the second one doesn't mention the company, and while the third one is dead, I hunted it down on the Internet Archive, and it doesn't mention the company at all, either. This looks a little bloggy. Also a blog. Most of the sources I'm finding look like SEO crap or unreliable "but this app now" sites, although tech stuff is a little out of my realm of expertise, so maybe I'm wrong. That's why I'm taking this to AFD, not PROD. This company has two products with articles, and both look a little dubious to me. Someone with tech expertise probably ought to take a look at iRip and RipIt, both look a little non-notable to me. Hog Farm Bacon 21:29, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Never played in an NFL game and doesn't seem to have played a CFL game [14]; I'm seeing no indications of XFL or arena football experience, so he fails WP:NGRIDIRON. His college career doesn't seem to be anything that would pass WP:NCOLLATH. This source, from his employer (non-independent), lists his coaching positions, none of which are significant enough to indicate a pass there, as it's all quality control coach type stuff. 24 7 sports barely has any coverage on him. Once I filter out sources from teams he played for or coached for and unreliable blogs, I'm only finding a handful of brief transaction notices.

    Fails WP:GNG. This promotional article was written by at least three people who work for or are associated with the subject. The article's 127 citations consist solely of IMDb (unacceptable as a user-generated website) and its own website pritzkermilitary.org (which is unacceptable as a primary and a self-published source). A WP:BEFORE search is hindered by the enormous volume of advertising and cross-advertising for this subject, and I was unable to find a single article discussing the show itself or anything that would contribute towards establishing its notability. Per What Wikipedia is not: it is not for advertising, marketing, a means of self-promotion, a catalog or directory, or a web hosting service — all of which this 'article' attempts to use Wikipedia for. There is a mention of this show in Pritzker Military Museum & Library, but I fail to see why the entire series of episodes needs to be hosted on Wikipedia instead of its own website. Even the main article topic (Pritzker Military Museum & Library) doesn't have much coverage. I notice there is even a wikiproject Wikipedia:GLAM/Pritzker to coordinate the Pritzker promotions.

    • Keep: Meets WP:RPRGM: "an individual radio or television program is likely to be notable if it airs on a network of radio or television stations (either national or regional in scope), or on a cable television channel with a broad regional or national audience." as indicated by the lede: "It airs on PBS channels WYCC, WTTW Channel 11, and WTTW-Prime Channel 11-2 weekly." There's a clear lack of WP:BEFORE here, as the first page of a Google search brings up pages supporting those claims. The mischaracterisation of Wikipedia:GLAM/Pritzker is outrageous. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:35, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment: That quote starts with the word "Generally" which you have omitted from your rendition, Pigsonthewing, meaning that isn't an open and shut case. The policy also includes "the presence or absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program's audience alone", to which I point out (again) the glaring omission from the article of ANY citation except for those from its own website and IMDb content (mindful that IMDb content can be user-generated). In other words, your argument on the face does NOT solve the notability issue. Nor does it address the WP:PROMOTIONAL nature of the article, especially since it is supported by the museum's own WikiProject. What other organization in the world has its own WikiProject?!?!?!

    Whiteguru I referred to SIGCOV - that is the basis for establishing WP:NOTABILITY, which is the basis for keeping or deleting an article. You have stated that the article has coverage; you will need to demonstrate significant coverage as per WP:SIGCOV, else your "Keep" appears to have been made on a whim and is invalid (not to mention wasting other editor's time here).

    • Weak Keep - It's a tough one, but between the Bulgarian and English sources there looks like there might be enough to meet GNG. Apparently this is an organization involved in a variety of animal welfare activities, including operating the largest shelter in Bulgaria. There are several hits on Novinite.com. [26] is the best one, but also e.g. [27] and shorter mentions in seemingly dozens of other animal welfare articles. There's some coverage of its endorsement by Kellan Lutz. There's Sofia Globe, some local tv news coverage, Go Guide Bulgaria... It's not a slam dunk, but there's enough here, combined with enough hints at more sources in Bulgarian (which I do not speak) that I fall on the side of weak keep. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:04, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    At the very least, this seems to fail WP:LISTN. "Micronation currency" doesn't appear to be a notable concept on its own, not to mention that most of what's here is sourced pretty dubiously (mostly primary). I can't imagine why there's any reason to collect this all into a separate list article rather than just leaving this information on the page of the individual entries if it's properly sourceable. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 19:32, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment I'm inclined to delete per nom, but it seems like the info on this list, if properly sourced of course, could just become a column or two in List of micronations—a list which does appear to pass WP:LISTN, as the topic of micronations has been the subject of multiple journal articles and books according to GBooks and GScholar. However, the merge would be a real pain to execute, unless the Visual Editor is capable of copy-pasting feats with tables that I have hitherto not contemplated.

    • Delete None of these are real currencies, for the most part they're jokes made up one day as part of their imaginary countries. Some contracted with printers or mints to make a small amount play money, perhaps to sell to people who collect tokens, but almost none are actually used in trade. Sources here are largely brief mentions in curiosity articles about the micronations, primary sources, or exonumia websites, with nothing on the topic as a whole. With respect to a merge, that would be reasonable were many of these actually used in these places, but most are tongue-in-cheek. Reywas92Talk 20:29, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    If you're looking for something comparable, there have been 18 AfDs on fifth tier seasons in the last month (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18), all of which have ended in deletion. Number 57 11:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    According to Pro Football Reference, Murphy has never played in an NFL game [28], didn't play in CFL either, so he fails WP:NGRIDIRON unless there's an arena football or XFL playing career I couldn't find. His college career didn't stand out enough to meet WP:NCOLLATH. Coverage is largely routine, mostly pieces such as this brief signing announcement. I've found one good piece here. Fairly brief piece stating he was inducted into a NN local hall of fame. This piece is about his brother, and only mention Kevin obliquely. This is from an unreliable blog. This is a fairly routine piece stating that he had to go to the hospital. Only mentioned in two sentences here He's not that far from GNG, but I'm not seeing enough to get him across that bar, since he fails NGRIDIRON and NCOLLATH. He did win an award (Joe Wolfe I think) in college, but it's not one of the awards that passes NCOLLATH and there's a lot of NN college football awards out there. I just don't think this article quite reaches notability. Hog Farm Bacon 18:54, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Fails WP:NGRIDIRON by never playing a game in the NFL or CFL and WP:NCOLLATH because his college career does not meet the hurdles for that notability. All 12 references in the article are transaction notices, mostly by the teams he played for. Only the first NOLA reference is usable for assessing notability, as the ones from the teams he played for are not independent, the second NOLA reference is not significant coverage, TurfShowTimes does not look reliable, and the USA Today and Chron.com references are not significant coverage. This is an interview, so not contributing to WP:GNG. Fairly basic coverage here. Most offensive linemen who fail NGRIDIRON generally don't get GNG coverage, and I'm not seeing an exception here.

    Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
    Relisting comment: Not sure redirecting is a viable outcome here as I cant see them mentioned either.
    Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Fenix down (talk) 15:51, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I added them to the lifetime results tables in the Canadian Soccer League article. They are in the 2018 season and 2019 season articles, so I feel a re-direct is appropriate, especially now that their results are included in the lifetime stats section of the league article. The 2020 season article also mentions how they were initially set to participate in 2020. RedPatchBoy (talk) 22:40, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm now not that convinced that redirecting is an appropriate outcome. If a footballer fails GNG and NFOOTY, do we redirect the article to the club that they play for? No. So why do we redirect a non-notable club to a league? Spiderone 09:58, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Surely, I'm not the only person who has seen a local team listed in the newspaper or online schedule, and typed the name into Wikipedia to find out a bit more, and hope to find a link to their website. This doesn't tend to happen to unnotable players. It's a plausible search term; redirects are cheap. It's not like every other team in this league doesn't already have a page. The league itself could never be listed at FPL because it's not sanctioned by FIFA ... so FPL applies to it no more than it applies to the local tiddlywinks team. Nfitz (talk) 19:41, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I have never done that. I use this nifty website called "Google" to show me links to the web. I imagine I'm the only one who uses that tool. But then again, I have not read a newspaper since Mandela died. Now a better question is are you referencing this team specifically or any team that shows up in your daily reading? Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:06, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    re: Nfitz comment, I think the league may have used to be FPL because it was previously sanctioned (it was sanctioned for sure by the Canadian Soccer Association), but after 2013 there were multiple scandals, including match fixing and other violations, that the CSA did not want anymore association with them and began the process of forming a new league. As Nfitz said, I feel a re-direct is still appropriate RedPatchBoy (talk) 00:53, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure users who never look at a newspaper are typical User:Walter Görlitz. In this case though, because it's local ... on the rare occasion the house is empty on the weekend, I've looked around to see if there are any local games to go do ... and I've certainly seen games in this league being played while passing local pitches ... less so since OL1 became more dominant. In semi-professional leagues like this (which are covered by the international betting operations), I find Google not particularly reliable. I agree with User:RedPatchBoy here ..., even if I seldom stand in 112 :) . Nfitz (talk) 21:25, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I think you're missing the facts. More papers go out of business on a monthly basis. Online is where most people get their news today. If you want, I can post the actual stats, or you can actually look for them. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:16, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    One of the most historic, biggest, and most important newspapers in the country has been online only for a couple of years. People still read it, and it's still called a newspaper. Surely the message is the media, not the medium User:Walter Görlitz! Now personally, I do get printed paper - mostly because with two kids in the house, I find that they never, ever, pick up a device and read the news. But if I leave it lying around on the table, they become much less ignorant of the bigger world ... that and it provides me with free online access. Nfitz (talk) 19:38, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

News print is nearly dead. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:30, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    User:Walter Görlitz, why are you talking about newsprint? It's not relevant. Newspapers still exist after newsprint is dead. Have you stopped phoning people after they got rid of rotary dials on telephones, making it impossible to dial a number? Nfitz (talk) 15:35, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Because you raised it as a possible source. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:02, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    One, I never said it was a source - I said I tend to turn to Wikipedia for teams that play at this level - oh, and look, every other team in the league has an article. At the same time, I'm only pushing for a redirect - how isn't redirect to the league almost always the right outcome when every other team in the league has a proper article? Two, how is "newspaper or online schedule" got anything to do with newsprint? I never see those local teams covered in the national papers ... I only see them on the mostly online local newspapers (I suppose you might get paper in the right 10-block area ...). I don't know how you even jumped to newsprint here ... especially given how many major papers have now gone 100% digital, relatively successfully. Nfitz (talk) 01:35, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:OSE. We can address the notability of every other team in the league after this AfD closes. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:36, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    This is a Snow redirect ... AFDing any other articles for teams still in the league, rather than simply redirecting them, would violate WP:POINT. Also, they ALL have much more history and achievements than this team (with the possible exception of Hamilton) so may achieve GNG. Some have even played in national and international cup competitions. Nfitz (talk) 19:45, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    The article is written in WP:PROMO style, created by a clearly COI editor (4 out of 5 edits are creating this article). The subject claim to fame seems to be included in "Top 100 Indian Leaders in the United Arab Emirates" by Forbes and similar such awards.

    Much of the coverage seems to be one lines, one quotes or paid/promoted PR articles. He has two interviews published boosting his success by seemingly unreliable sources. The most significant coverage he has being on cover of Accountant Middle East magazine which is published by CFO Middle East group. This group publishes financial executives views and profile. It is very likely a paid advertising masquerading as trade journal.

    The subject's official website mentions the Wikipedia page quite prominently, hence it seems important to them. Fails WP:ANYBIO, WP:NBUSINESSPEOPLE Roller26 (talk) 15:06, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    No first of all he was conferred "Bharat Gaurav Award" by India International Friendship Society in 2009. That award's legitimacy has already been called in their wiki page with sources. Bharat Gaurav International Achievement Award was either started in 2014 or 2012 (unclear to me), and also seems to be one of the scam awards in Delhi where they award few notable figures along with huge number of paid awardees, and get central ministers and other notable figures to award them.

    • Comment - Saying the team was playing non-league is a little simplistic given that the Southern League was probably on a similar footing to the Football League at the time. This discussion would hinge on whether the Southern League was fully professional, which has been a matter of debate for some time. Only recently George Edwards' AfD was closed as no consensus over the same issue on the idea that further discussion would clear the matter up. No discussion has been forthcoming I believe, so this is likely to go the same way unless a consensus on the professional status of the league is established.

    • Comment All these seasons pages up for deletion, I don't know why, but I feel it's unfair to delete the Stoke season pages here. The information is correct, GNG hasn't been established, however it could be if one wants to try. If an editor can created one article for the period, that would be a lot of information on one article, keeping the statistics down, and shortened tables maybe. Then maybe a Redirect to each part of that new article. However, a straight up delete would remove all the legitimate information for the period, and really, I am against doing that.

You started, not one AFD process, but similar seasons for the same team, ignoring WP:BEFORE, ignoring past convention, ignoring WP:ATD, and ignoring WP:NOTAVOTE. Why any of these oddball seasons for mostly fully-professional teams wouldn't be a simple redirect I don't know ... don't start the AFD until people have problems with the redirect!

    • No results found for "Derek George Smyth" site:yale.edu.
    • No results found for "Derek George Smyth" site:rockefeller.edu.

    And so on. It would appear to me - with WP:AGF glasses on - that this article fails WP:NACADEMIC or in the alternative WP:ANYBIO, WP:GNG and so on. It would appear to me that there is a possibility that this may also also be a blatant hoax. WP:AFD is WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP. Unless it sometimes is.

    • Comment Except that if you search for ‘Derek Smyth peptide’ you come up with dozens of authored and co-authored papers like this one, so if it’s a hoax it’s an incredibly elaborate one. Mccapra (talk) 14:07, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Almost certainly not a hoax. doi:10.1530/JME-16-0033 is published in the Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, for instance. It lists his affiliation as the William Harvey Research Institute as of 2016. He's not listed in their current faculty directory ([41]), but the paper was published four years ago so it wouldn't be surprising if he'd moved on or retired. I'm actually not surprised that a scientist born in the 1920s isn't listed on the Yale or Rockefeller websites, because if he was affiliated with those institutions it would likely have been in the pre-Internet era. As for notability, he's a second or third author on two papers in Nature ([42], [43]), and a number of other widely cited papers, so a decent case for WP:PROF. But I know most sciences have very high citation counts, so I'm not sure if his scholar result ([44]) establishes notability just by citation count alone. I'll leave the !voting to the experts.

    • Hi, this article was an effort after a few months of research, interviewing and emailing various chess experts. These experts are programmers, known chess bloggers from the biggest online chess server chess.com and other resources such as the Github project which is like wikipedia, where we can share programs and ideas. Musketeer Chess is a Chess variant. It's becoming more and more popular. For the moment only one book mentions the chess variant (it's currently in Press and i provided the ISBN), the other references are independent references from people that have done reseach on the variant, developed mathematical methods to evaluate and assess the variant (for example to provide a value for the added pieces), created engines playing the game and this was a very tough task for these programmers. They even created and used different approaches like Genetic Algorithms (i havent't mentioned this in the references and could add it), Neural Networks (2 engines), SPSA (2 engines: Stockfish and Deuterium).
    The game was also mentioned several times on Game Geek and Chess Variants + References on chess.com various blogs and forums.
    If you evaluate this work on criterions just based on articles or books, you will for sure find only one reference. But based on what i've said, you should be a chess player, knowing the chess community to be able to judge the reliability of the references cited. Just check chess.com to see that it's ranked number one for online play, and that it's the biggest place where a vast majority of the chess community discuss and share about various subjects related to chess (theory, problems, history, material like books and chess sets etc) and chess variants.
    Also, Chess variants are popular but there are so much interesting ones to discuss. The recent books (the last one was the encyclopedia by Pritchard released in beginning 2000 and chess history in 2016 by JL Cazeaux and Rick Knownlton). These books where written before the release of the chess variant. A history of chess was released in 2016. I discussed and interviewed the authors. They clearly said that they knew about Musketeer Chess in 2015, and that their book was already reviewed and being in Press. They said to me by emails that Musketeer Chess will for sure have it's own article on their book: only available commercial variant, some unique features of the game etc.
    So having no articles doesn't JUSTIFY not publishing this work.
    I have many other links and references i didn't add or deleted because i found that they promoted the commercial variant (even though these people where not directly related to the inventor). I preferred to remove them and also i removed comments i made because it was a personal opinion on the game which i learned that it's not objective.
    Thanks all of you for your help making this work live and thanks for your advices that for sure made my personal work evolve in a better way, helped me practice english (not a native langage).
    Best regards
    Raphael

    Hi Can you please participate in helping this article to be published?

    The Seirawan chess wiki page was removed from the lilst of articles and if this continues all the chess variants will be excluded or almost.

    There are no big references to support chess variants apart from Pritchard encyclopedia. But for example seirawan chess diserves to be in wikipedia, and my work on Musketeer chess also (more than 20 references cited).

    Thanks for your help as a chess player and fan.

    • Delete. The array of sources looks impressive, but the sources that do mention "musketeer chess" are either blogs or self-published articles, while the sources that have passed editorial oversight, such as "Evaluation of Material Imbalances" by Kaufmann (1999) precede the invention of "musketeer chess" and so obviously don't mention it. This is an obscure chess variant with arcane rules, and there is no evidence of the game being widely played. Sjakkalle (Check!) 05:10, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment I react on this comment found on this page "The recent books (the last one was the encyclopedia by Pritchard released in beginning 2000 and chess history in 2016 by JL Cazeaux and Rick Knownlton). These books where written before the release of the chess variant. A history of chess was released in 2016. I discussed and interviewed the authors.

They said to me by emails that Musketeer Chess will for sure have it's own article on their book: only available commercial variant, some unique features of the game etc.". My name is Jean-Louis Cazaux (not Cazeaux) and the name of my co-author is Rick Knowlton (not Knownlton). The title of our book is not "A history of chess", it is "A world of chess" (McFarland, 2017). I confirm that we knew the existence of Musketeer Chess while writing and that we have not selected it to be mentioned in our book.Cazaux (talk) 20:18, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Redirect to List of chess variants, where it is covered. Sourcing for chess variants has long been a challenge. Wikipedia wants high-quality reliable sources that aren't self-published, cover the subject in some depth, and are independent of the subject. That doesn't exist for this subject (or indeed most variants). Sadly that's why most of our variant articles rely so heavily on things like Pritchard's books, despite him not actually being an authority in these variants (he just managed to get a book published). Meanwhile, if someone deeply familiar with the game publishes a blog, that's self-published. There are lots of conversations that can be had to negotiate uses of these different sources for the sake of verifiability (i.e. for use in the article), but for establishing notability we need independent secondary sources, and I just don't see that here. There are a lot of google hits, but they seem largely connected to primary research and commercial activities... — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:48, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Redirect to List of chess variants where it's already covered. As such this is a pointless content fork. There was actually an AfD for a similarly not so notable chess variant awhile back and a redirect to the same article happened there. So it sounds like a reasonable option in this case also. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:42, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    The article tries to find a common thread among a group of historical boycotts against Jewish business and boycotts of Israel. But all the sources, except from the Jewish Virtual Library one, deal with specific anti-Jewish boycotts or other incidents. So it seems to me that the article suffers from WP:SYNTH.

    • Delete. I agree that this is WP:SYNTH, plus a POV fork of several existing articles on individual boycotts. The keeps above miss the point: yes, some sources make links between various boycotts and antisemitism, but that doesn't mean that "antisemitic boycotts" is in itself a notable topic. For that we would need to see significant coverage that treats these boycotts together as a coherent topic, distinct from other forms of antisemitism, and under the common name of "antisemitic boycotts". Apart from the one JVL source[49] the nominator mentions, that coverage doesn't appear to exist. The historic boycotts are either discussed as independent events or as manifestations of antisemitism more broadly. The disputed position that links historic antisemitic boycotts to contemporary boycotts of Israel is already covered in a more balanced way at Boycotts of Israel. – Joe (talk) 08:16, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. Encyclopaedia Judaica has an entry on "Boycott, anti-Jewish": [50]. Anti-Jewish boyocotts were a fixture within extremist Catholic circles in the late 19th and early 20th century, with examples in Ireland, Austo-Hungary, Poland[51], and elsewhere. This also became Nazi policy in 1933.--Geshem Bracha (talk) 11:25, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    That's the same article as the Jewish Virtual Library mentioned above, which still only leaves us with one source. – Joe (talk) 12:49, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I gave several, not one. Here's another: The Oxford Handbook of Political Consumerism has an index entry for "anti-Jewish boycotts" which are covered in pages 626,628-630,665,705-712 (13 pages). Page 628 begins a section title "Anti-Jewish Boycotts" and after an introductory paragraph on minority discrimination, goes on to state: "As early as the 1880s, the flourishing of anti-Semitism inspired economic boycotts against the Jews in several European countries or regions. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire.... During the interwar period, anti-Jewish boycotts were attempted in many countries but most notably in Nazi Germany". Extensive coverage that ties several different antisemitic boycotts.--Geshem Bracha (talk) 13:10, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    The other sources in your first comment are about individual boycotts. Nobody is disputing that sources exist about these (we have articles on most), what is at issue is whether we should have an article about them together. The section from the Oxford Handbook is more the kind of thing we need, thanks, but I still think two sources falls short of significant coverage. – Joe (talk) 14:38, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment, this would be a good interwiki discussion between the English and Hebrew wikipedias. I think a group of editors from both Wikipedias should be asked to talk it out and reach a consensus that all parties find acceptable. It is implicit in the understanding of the modern boycotts that there is an underlying unspoken antisemitism beneath the political veneer of the Palestinian cause. This assertion requires careful investigation but not outright dismissal just because the people doing the labeling take a vanguard approach to the controversy.

    Of the sources cited in this article, the only lengthy treatments of Rosen-Zvi are the page for one of her visiting faculty positions and the click-bait CTech article on her use of Wikipedia (whose title is not reflected in her quoted statements). The rest are: a video of a lecture by her; a news article in which she is briefly quoted as an expert; and a summary of a colloquium presentation that I added for details on her education and to support a visiting faculty position that was already in the article. Other than her LinkedIn, which is security protected and therefore cannot be added as an external link, I cannot find any other coverage of her. Unless someone is able to find additional coverage in Hebrew, or demonstrate a high impact for her publications, I believe she meets neither the general notability guideline nor the special standard for academics.

    • Keep Clear pass of WP:NPROF. -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:56, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. I disagree that directing a department at IBM Research is equivalent to a full professorship, or that being a visiting professor makes one notable, and we can't use IBM's extensive research as grounds for notability by association. (I also can't hear the video to get the date of her promotion or the number of people she supervises from it, but if it's a reliable source for filling in such career details, please somebody cite it.) But it seems her citation index may be enough to meet the criteria for academics. (I'm intentionally avoiding Wikipedia shorthand for the benefit of any non-editors who may read this.) However, like all the special notability criteria, those are in part based on the presumption that sources will exist. We do a disservice to the reader with unverifiable articles as well as with articles with very little information, and potentially do a disservice to a living person with a biography that represents them poorly, including one lacking much information. @Abishe: I can't read Hebrew but at least two of what that Google search showed me seemed to be, reasonably enough, equivalents in Hebrew to what we are already citing in English. Is there anything in Hebrew that gives new, citable information? It's perfectly ok to have citations in a foreign language. @David Eppstein, Russ Woodroofe, and Scope creep: Do any of those citations lead to a third-party source reporting on her research that can be added? I wondered what role she played in the study of AI breast cancer detection, but only saw reports of her presenting it as an example of the potential usefulness of machine learning; if she's cited somewhere as having played a leading role in that or other important research, that would flesh out our account of her work, which right now uncomfortably stresses her use of Wikipedia to build a database, simply because that's the topic of the single extended article about her that we've got so far. Yngvadottir (talk) 00:32, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yngvadottir, the standards for academic notability, in general, differ from most other specialized notability standards, and do not in general operate on the principle that people who pass those standards will also pass our general notability guidelines. This article, in particular, is not lacking in verifiable information regarding Rosen-Zvi's life and career, although it is deficient in describing her research accomplishments. For someone whose career details are sketchy or hard to find, that could become an issue in a deletion discussion, but not this deletion discussion. So the question is not: can we verify what we've written about her, it's: has she made enough of an intellectual impact to meet our notability standards for researchers? I don't understand why you pick out her work on breast cancer as something to highlight, though. Her heaviest citations are for author-topic models for document classification, extending latent Dirichlet allocation. This work is briefly covered in our article topic model. It's also described for an entire subsection of e.g. this survey article (which may or may not count as a reliable source, I'm not sure). The difficulty here is not having too few sources, but too many: Google scholar claims there are some 3000 published works that in some way cite Rosen-Zvi's work on this topic. No doubt many of them are just brief mentions without enough detail to use as a source, but finding the ones that provide more detail requires both significant effort and some level of subject expertise. That's why articles such as this tend to focus on career milestones instead of intellectual accomplishments: because it's much easier. But it doesn't mean the intellectual accomplishments aren't there, or are somehow unverifiable. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:48, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • I agree that there's enough for an article. I also agree that it would be worthwhile to expand with more on her research. Her highly-cited articles are on the author-topic model. I didn't find a great overview quickly, but the overview in [52] appears to be independent and reliable. What do y'all think? Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:57, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep the barely articulated rationale here is not sufficient for deletion. The notability guidance referenced in earlier comments are not the minimum standard for an article to be retained (otherwise half of Wikipedia would be deleted)—they're standards to confer automatic notability. Failure to meet those automatic notability standards would not make an article automatically "not notable". In fact, WP:USCJN states that membership on a state appellate court is "strong evidence of notability." Additionally, from Wikipedia's editor policy on deletion considerations for notability: "The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth." Simply put, the burden of proof in deletion discussion is on those seeking to delete the article. The only review that seems to have been done here was a quick determination that the judge is not elected by a state-wide vote and the article does not in its present form demonstrate notability -- that is not sufficient work on the part of deletion advocates for their rationale to prevail. There has been no effort on the part of deletion-votes to research news or legal journals which could substantiate the relevance of the article. Furthermore, the "state-wide judge" guidance is being badly misapplied here—at least in Wisconsin, all published Appeals Court rulings have statewide effect and create statewide precedent, even though the judges are elected in four geographic regions for administrative purposes. Only a fraction of their decisions are ever reviewed by the state supreme court. The Appeals court is effectively the court of final review for more than 90% of cases in the state. There's a vast difference between circuit judges, which are more like county officers, and appeals judges, whose decisions (in a simple 3-judge panel) can alter state law. As a general rule every judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals is at least as notable as any Wisconsin state senator (1 of 33) or assemblymember (1 of 99), whose notability is simply presumed due to their membership in a state legislative body. In U.S. media and politics there is a massive inclination to consider the role of legislators and ignore the role of judges in setting our laws and rights in this country -- the lack of good and reliable information and attention on judges has been a disservice to the public and Wikipedia should not encourage this pattern of lazy neglect. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 16:14, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - Marginally passes general notability anyway. Besides, agree with User:Asdasdasdff. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:36, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Asdasdasdff and Robert McClenon cut and pasted the same exact keep vote comments in 6 other AfDs and it's pretty clear neither of them actually looked into any of them or even read what the delete voters wrote. Especially Asdasdasdff. As such, both their votes should be ignored. Especially Asdasdasdff. Like Asdasdasdff says Wikipedia should not encourage this pattern of lazy neglect. The pattern of lazy neglect it shouldn't be encouraging is them cutting and pasting the exact same comment in a bunch of AfDs instead of doing actual research. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:26, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • From Wikipedia's deletion guidance, the point of AfD is to put the burden on deletion-requestors to justify with their own research that the article is insignificant or redundant. All of these judicial AfD deletion votes failed to demonstrate the required work to validate the opinion that the article merited deletion. Each deletion AfD demonstrates the same flawed rationale for deletion in almost identical wording. I don't see any reason to rewrite the same explanation six times for six improper deletion requests that all suffer from an identical defect in the justification for deletion. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 21:42, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Your simply wrong about that. WP:DISCUSSAFD says "AfDs are a place for rational discussion of whether an article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies." That's it, period. The nominator, and voters, can use whatever rational they feel like as part of that discussion and it's not confined to just the notability guidelines. That's simply one of multiple criteria. You didn't confine your comment to just the nominator anyway. You said in most, or all, of the AfDs that everyone who voted keep was just lazy and didn't do the proper diligence. Which is clearly bullshit because I said in more then one of the AfDs where I voted that I couldn't find sources that would pass WP:GNG. Which you seem to have ignored. Not that it would have mattered though. Since like I said there's zero mandate that an AfD involve the notability guidelines. So, clearly your votes are garbage and should be disregarded. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:13, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Pardon me adjusting the bulleting for clarity. Anyhow. Sorry I don't know the shorthand link, but it's here: Wikipedia:Guide to deletion under Considerations. "First do the necessary homework and look for sources yourself, and invite discussion on the talk page by using the {{notability}} template, if you are disputing the notability of an article's subject. The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth. See WP:Before." I added the bolding at the end. But this is a secondary consideration anyway. The core point is these are statewide judges who meet WP:JUDGE -- the point of being statewide is clearly for their effect and not their electorate. The Wisconsin Supreme Court used to be elected in regional districts; the Wisconsin Legislature has several times proposed returning to a regionally-elected Supreme Court. That does not make them "not statewide judges". --Asdasdasdff (talk) 22:49, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel L. LaRocque" i said in my delete vote "Delete since he wasn't in a state wide position and there isn't multiple in-depth reliable sources about him anyway." Yet you still said "There has been no effort on the part of deletion-votes to research news or legal journals which could substantiate the relevance of the article." So, you have no leg to stand on quoting part of guideline that your ignoring instances of people following. As far as WP:JUDGE goes, if they are not elected state wide and remain in their jurisdictions then they aren't "state judges." Notice here that the article says "He served on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals for the Madison-based District IV court from 2000 until his retirement in 2019." Wisconsin_Court_of_Appeals states "The Wisconsin Court of Appeals is an intermediate appellate court." For him to count it would have to be the state supreme court, not a district one, and one where the duties are done at the actual state level. Not an intermediate district one. Same goes for the other AfDs your arguing about. Personally, I could really give a crap about any of them outside of the fact that WP:JUDGE says "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office" and a district position (again its what the damn Wikipedia article says they are) isn't a "state-wide office." He only rules for his district, that's where was elected, etc etc. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:39, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Apologies, but if you didn't find good sources about LaRocque you were not really looking. I did a quick search and found several. I will be getting to his update eventually. But I'm only one human with limited hours and other responsibilities. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 07:52, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    People find different sources sometimes. It's just how this works. So get over it. If your time is so limited maybe you shouldn't be wasting it WP:BLUDGEONing AfDs like you've been doing. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:50, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    "People find different sources sometimes" -- Which is why you don't get to delete an article on a whim when one person claims they "checked." --Asdasdasdff (talk) 09:01, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Know one here said anyone did. The whole point in an AfD is to not delete things on a single persons whim. Apparently you don't even know simple basics like what the point the in an AfD is. So, like I said get it over it and stop WP:BLUDGEONing AfDs. At this point your just committing WP:BADGER. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:29, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. No case made for deletion. By policy/guideline, simply holding the position is strong evidence of notability. No evidence to the contrary has been proffered. Strong evidence weighted against none must result in a keep outcome. Moreover, despite the blathering of editors who want to delete this article, there is further evidence of notability. The subject served on the court for nineteen years. One would have to be remarkably innocent of knowledge of the US judicial system to believe that a judge could sit this long at this level without making decisions receiving press coverage and writing opinions that are reviewed, discussed, critiqued, etc. No doubt there are a small percentage of judges on this court who have insignificant tenures -- my home state was once notorious for promoting judges approaching imminent retirement to appellate level, whereupon they promptly took "senior" status, thereby boosting their retirement pay without more than token service on the court they were appointed to. This is not such a case.
    A couple of my local county judges have been in their positions for at least 19 years. By your standard they should articles about them also. Anyway, last I checked WP:JUDGE doesn't say anything about length of tenor. Nor does WP:GNG. It does say "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability." So, it seems your one that's blathering. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:06, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Learn to read, Adamant1. I stated explicitly that the argument applied to judges "at this level" -- that is, top-tier intermediate appellate courts. It doesn't apply to your obviously excluded example, any more than it applies to zookeepers. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong! (talk) 01:45, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe it's my lack of reading comprehension, but I don't see how a position can be top-tier and intermediate at the same time. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:46, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    He's referencing WP:USCJN section on appellate judges -- "judges who serve for a comparatively long time, who preside over important cases, or whose opinions are often cited by higher courts in the state, by federal courts, or by state courts in other states, are highly likely to be notable." --Asdasdasdff (talk) 07:52, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    "highly likely to be notable" doesn't mean they automatically are though. They still need to pass the notability guidelines or it wouldn't be phrased that way. Also, it's extremely questionable that serving for 9 years is a "comparatively long time." Not to mention "comparatively" is pretty relative. That said, Wikiprojects and whatever standards they might or might not have aren't guidelines or authoritative in AfDs anyway. Especially when compared to WP:GNG. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:13, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    The point of AfD is that there is a large gap between "automatically notable" and "not notable". WP:GNG itself says an article is not required to meet GNG if it meets criteria related to that subject matter area, and refers to Wikipedia:Notability (people) which refers you to WP:USCJN, which gives you several reasons to indicate these judges are "highly likely to be notable." Articles that fulfill criteria for "strong evidence of notability" and "highly likely to be notable" should clearly result in a decision to conduct further investigation and article-building rather than deletion. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 08:31, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    So WP:USCJN is cool to use even though it's not a guideline because it's mentioned in passing by something that's mentioned in passing by something else? right. If the "guidelines" in WP:USCJN where authoritative at all they would just be in WP:JUDGE, but they aren't though. You can find anything three steps away from guidelines to support whatever you want. They still aren't guidelines though. Anyway, what "strong evidence of notability" does this person or any of the other AfDs about judges that you voted in have, because you haven't given any. Except that they are a judge and "articles about judges are notable because they are judges" is circular reasoning that isn't supported by of the guidelines or even WP:USCJN. And I mean it in Wikipedia's standards for strong evidence. Not some thing about the history of judges in Wisconsin or whatever. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:55, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete His position is not state wide.

Additionally, from Wikipedia's editor policy on deletion considerations for notability: "The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth." Simply put, the burden of proof in deletion discussion is on those seeking to delete the article. The only review that seems to have been done here was a quick determination that the judge is not elected by a state-wide vote and the article does not in its present form contain "in-depth reliable sources" -- that is not sufficient work on the part of deletion advocates for their rationale to prevail. There has been no effort on the part of deletion-votes to research news or legal journals which could substantiate the relevance of the article. Furthermore, the "state-wide judge" guidance is being badly misapplied here—at least in Wisconsin, all published Appeals Court rulings have statewide effect and create statewide precedent, even though the judges are elected in four geographic regions for administrative purposes. Only a fraction of their decisions are ever reviewed by the state supreme court. The Appeals court is effectively the court of final review for more than 90% of cases in the state. There's a vast difference between circuit judges, which are more like county officers, and appeals judges, whose decisions (in a simple 3-judge panel) can alter state law. As a general rule every judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals is at least as notable as any Wisconsin state senator (1 of 33) or assemblymember (1 of 99), whose notability is simply presumed due to their membership in a state legislative body. In U.S. media and politics there is a massive inclination to consider the role of legislators and ignore the role of judges in setting our laws and rights in this country -- the lack of good and reliable information and attention on judges has been a disservice to the public and Wikipedia should not encourage this pattern of lazy neglect. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 16:10, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Weak Keep as per general notability and the above argument by User:Asdasdasdff. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:38, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Weirdly Asdasdasdff just cut and pasted the same exact word for word keep vote comment about how none of the delete voters did any research etc etc into 6 other AfDs on similar subjects and Robert McClenon seems to have voted keep right after them with extremely similar keep rational (because of what Asdasdasdff says) in all of them. Given the mass cut and past screed of personal attacks on keep voters by Asdasdasdff that clearly shows the user didn't actually look into any of the AfDs where he voted or even read what the keep voters wrote in any of them I think his vote should be ignored. Robert McClenon's should probably also be. Since it's clearly based on bullshit and the same vote comment was posted everywhere. So, it's extremely doubtful they looked into any of the articles they voted keep on either. Personally, I said in my vote that I couldn't find any in-depth coverage on the person. Despite Asdasdasdff saying I was just lazy and didn't look. To echo what Asdasdasdff Wikipedia should not encourage this pattern of lazy neglect, but the clear pattern of lazy neglect by them in the seven nominations they pasted the exact same lazy vote comment in. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:22, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment@Adamant1: Huh, explain to me why nominating all 6 AFDs with the rationale  

      Fails WP:JUDGE and and WP:USCJN. Note- Wisconsin Court of Appeals isn't a state wide position. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof?

      By your logic, the nominator's vote should not count. Techie3 (talk) 05:39, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @Techie3: With respect to the fact that you deleted your comment, note that Asdasdasdff's comment wasn't confined to just William, is the complaint department really on the roof?, it was addressed to every delete voter, or maybe I wouldn't have had as much of a problem with it. That said, per WP:DISCUSSAFD "AfDs are a place for rational discussion of whether an article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies." It's not explicit in that the only guideline that can be discussed is WP:GNG or that the only talking point we can use when discussion if an article is "able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies" is notability. Also note that WP:BEFORE says "If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources." The nominator wasn't arguing the articles verifiability and again it's not the only thing that can be discussed. So, a WP:BEFORE wasn't necessary to the nomination, or for anyone votes to be valid. Let alone not "lazy." --Adamant1 (talk) 06:41, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I just want to invite people to re-read my comment, because it seems there was difficulty with the last sentence. I was trying to rally the good sense of Wikipedians against the "lazy neglect" of the media and society. I did not in any part call the deletion-voters "lazy" or "negligent." I simply hold that their deletion nominations fail on the merits. That said, it's extremely offensive to me that I am now being called "lazy" after I've devoted so many thousands of hours to researching these (and many other Wisconsin judges, congressmen, mayors, state legislators, governors, elections, counties, municipalities, laws, court decisions..) for the purpose of developing their articles and preserving that knowledge -- digging through ancient newspapers and obscure books and journals to find nuggets of illumination or unexpected connections for the random Wikipedia reader. Sitting in an AfD is not how I want to be spending my Wikipedia hours between work and family and other obligations -- I'd rather be researching and building articles. But I decided I had to get involved here because I wanted to stop the injustice being done to this critical piece of knowledge about hugely influential officers of our state government. Sorry I re-used the same argument to respond to the same flawed deletion rationale. But I'd like an apology for the totally uncalled-for personal insult. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 21:58, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    To quote what you said "there has been no effort on the part of deletion-votes to research news or legal journals which could substantiate the relevance of the article." "Wikipedia should not encourage this pattern of lazy neglect." The only way to interpret that is that your calling the keep voters lazy. Otherwise, there would be "this" in your comment about lazy neglect and you wouldn't have preempted it by saying that the keep voters didn't put any effort into their votes. I'm not apologizing for simply repeating your own words. Also, if you have better things to do with you time then do them. Everyone here has better things to do then read a bunch of cut and pasted personal screeds or respond to them. Including me. You even said you cut and pasted the exact same message in a bunch of AfDs because you didn't feel like taking the time to write individual ones. So, you have zero ground to stand on accusing other people of being lazy or negligent. Not that you would anyway. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:30, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    You see why we have to question your judgment on these deletion votes when you missed the entire context of the sentence. It was quite clear: "In U.S. media and politics there is a massive inclination to consider the role of legislators and ignore the role of judges in setting our laws and rights in this country ... Wikipedia should not encourage this pattern of lazy neglect." I'm sorry I must have confused you with s sentence that had multiple clauses, but that is the sentence. Your response to your misreading of my comment has been completely inflammatory with multiple violations of Wikipedia's community standards. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 22:56, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah right. It's utterly ridiculous and none nonsensical to claim your statement was saying that Wikipedia should deal "media and politics" laziness and neglect. Especially when you said before that the delete voters were being negligent with their votes. Nice try though. Feel free to report me if you think it's worth it and that I actually violated anything by calling you out for attacking delete voters. I could really give a crap and I totally stick by calling you out for attacking people. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:18, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. No case made for deletion. By policy/guideline, simply holding the position is strong evidence of notability. No evidence to the contrary has been proffered. Strong evidence weighted against none must result in a keep outcome. Moreover, despite the blathering of editors who want to delete this article, there is further evidence of notability. The subject served on the court for twelve years. One would have to be remarkably innocent of knowledge of the US judicial system to believe that a judge could sit this long at this level without making decisions receiving press coverage and writing opinions that are reviewed, discussed, critiqued, etc. No doubt there are a small percentage of judges on this court who have insignificant tenures -- my home state was once notorious for promoting judges approaching imminent retirement to appellate level, whereupon they promptly took "senior" status, thereby boosting their retirement pay without more than token service on the court they were appointed to.

    • Weak delete since she's a district judge in a state court position. Which could go either way IMO depending on how you want to read into things due to it not being specifically addressed by the notability guidelines. More importantly though, she doesn't have the multiple in-depth reliable sources needed for the article to be considered notable. That said, I'd be cool with a merge or redirect to Wisconsin Court of Appeals also instead of a straight deletion. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:43, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    She's a judge that was appointed at the district level. Therefore, she's a "district judge." Like I said though, it is a state position. Those are the facts. She's was appointed at the district level for a state position, but she's still a "district judge." I.E. being appointed at the district as opposed to the state level. Which last time I checked there are state level appointed judges and there is a difference between those ones and this position. Otherwise, the distinction and the fact they are district appointed wouldn't be literally everywhere that this position is discussed. So, I'm not really sure what the problem is. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:05, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep: All the delete comments refer to the same rationale, which, alone is not sufficient for deletion. The notability guidance referenced in earlier comments are not the minimum standard for an article to be retained (otherwise half of Wikipedia would be deleted)—they're standards to confer automatic notability. Failure to meet those automatic notability standards would not make an article automatically "not notable". There's a vast space of ambiguity between automatic notability and insignificance, which is why this process exists. Furthermore, from the deletion considerations for notability: "The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth." Simply put, the burden of proof in deletion discussion is on those seeking to delete the article. The only review that seems to have been done here was a quick determination that the judge is not elected by a state-wide vote and the article doesn't currently have any in "in depth sources". Additionally, the "state-wide" guidance is being badly misapplied here—at least in Wisconsin, all published Appeals Court rulings have statewide effect and create statewide precedent, even though the judges are elected in four geographical regions for administrative purposes. Only a fraction of their decisions are ever reviewed by the state supreme court. The Appeals court is effectively the court of final review for more than 90% of cases in the state. There's a vast difference between circuit judges, which are more like county officers, and appeals judges, whose decisions can alter state law. Judge Nashold has only been on the court for a year and has already been involved in critical cases in the state related to the 2020 elections. As a general rule every judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals is at least as notable as any Wisconsin state senator. Also, one last note on "state-wide" -- the Wisconsin Supreme Court used to be elected in districts rather than as statewide officers -- the size of the electorate doesn't make the judge significant, the effect of their rulings makes them significant. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 15:24, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - Marginally passes general notability anyway. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:31, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Asdasdasdff cut and pasted extremely similar comments into 6 other AfDs about judges. So IMO it should be ignored. None of them, including this one, states how the judge passes general notability guidelines. Despite Robert McClenon voting keep in all of them right after him due to them all supposedly passing it. So, their vote should be disregarded also IMO. Especially the ones that cite Asdasdasdff's vote as a keep reason. Since the user is obviously totally full of crap and has zero clue what they are talking about. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:35, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Wow. I'd like to suggest a sanction on user Adamant1. Never encountered such blatant abuse of Wikipedia's community standards before. This is the type of comment I'd expect to find on some reddit thread. Totally unconstructive to the AfD, totally inappropriate behavior for Wikipedia. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 22:11, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd just refer everyone to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel L. LaRocque where Asdasdasdff accused every keep voter of lazy negligent behavior. Which he has done in other AfDs also. I have zero problem with saying a voter who cuts and pasts the same personal attacks and essentially the same message into every AfD they vote in as someone who's votes should not be considered. Ultimately, this isn't a count and it comes down to how compelling the vote comment is. I just don't find "Keep because everyone who voted delete is just lazy" to be compelling reasoning to keep an article and I highly doubt anyone else would either. Especially since it's the exact same argument you've made in every other AfD you've voted in. I'll also remind you that WP:DISCUSSAFD says "a pattern of groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive." Which is exactly the case with your cut and pasted garbage comments and there's zero grounds to sanction me for calling you out about them. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:20, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Just back to clarify that your understanding is based on an obviously incorrect reading of my comment. Your overreaction is completely unwarranted hostility that has not contributed at all to the proper resolution of these AfDs. --Asdasdasdff (talk) 23:03, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll just refer everyone to his keep vote comment in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel L. LaRocque where he called delete voters lazy and negligent and leave it at that. Calling voters lazy doesn't contribute to the resolution of the AfDs. Whereas, telling users not to make disruptive comments like I have here and in the AfDs totally does. It's on Asdasdasdff if wants to call me doing that an unwarranted overreaction. I'd call his 15 line AfDs screeds where he insults other users instead of talking about guidelines an unwarranted overreaction to his fear that these articles will be deleted, but to each his own I guess. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:24, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Existence of articles associating religions and religious communities to superstitions is being contested @ Talk:Superstitions in Muslim societies#RfC Superstitions in Muslim societies related questions. In expectation of consistency that same rule applies to all similar theme articles I am putting this article to have Wikipedia community consensus. Bookku (talk) 03:17, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    "... As anyone steeped in anthropology, mythography, and related fields can tell you, superstitions are often far older than the dominant religious context they are found in, and new ones also arise through the same sorts of processes that generate other popular-culture phenomena like urban legends (sometimes superstition and urban legend cannot even be cleanly separated, especially when the legend is a couple of centuries old).....then it would probably make more sense to do this geographically (e.g. Middle Eastern, European, South Asian, etc.) rather than by religion. Or to do it country-by-country, or culture-by-culture. Since there's no clear connection between superstition and particular religions, the current article seem to be a fake topic with a PoV to advance (or is easily taken for one, whatever the intent was).

    In the same discussion at RfC Superstitions in Muslim societies related questions there is one more point that opposes use word Superstition and recommends wording Folk belief instead.

    "...I am still reticent about the word superstition, to me it seems very similar to a folk belief/practice/religion, though cast in a more negative light. So a list of superstitions isn't criticism per se, but it slants the reader toward a negative view. If it is intended specifically as criticism, perhaps it belongs in the Criticism of Islam article?.."

    I don't know if above needs separate move discussion at talk page of Superstition for change of name to Folk belief. I have expressed my opinions @ RfC Superstitions in Muslim societies related questions already so I need not repeat the same in more details rather let other Wikipedia users deliberate the same.

    Over to Wikipedian community Thanks Bookku (talk) 03:54, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    There are two different opinions of two different users highlighted in green one after other in my comment, I am relating to this article for consistency in Wikipedia policy formation and understanding Wikipedia community consensus.

    Consensus about what though? Sorry, but I’m not clear what outcome you’re looking for. If you think this article should be deleted that’s a discussion to have here. If you think it should probably be kept but renamed and rewritten to some extent, that’s not a discussion to have here and we can speedily close it. Mccapra (talk) 09:45, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Discussion is primarily about whether to keep the article or delete? IMHO Issues are nuanced and interconnected any hurried closure will be like not giving way to the steam and will only bring back discussion at some other point.Bookku (talk) 10:03, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    As a lay user I expect consistency in principles applied across the articles. From my side I attempted discussion at central place at Talk:Superstition but it was mate with non-participation. Those who are against religion based superstition related article let them have chance to put up their point of views.Bookku (talk) 10:20, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I did not expect such perception. Whether it is RfC or AfD rather I did put up my opponents point of views in neutral fashion. I Invited people in discussion in neutral fashion. Superstition related articles should be there for religions or none - I am consistent in this position. It is okay for me to drop RfCs and AfD for all.Pl. let me know if that helps.Bookku (talk) 11:23, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:POINT says:

    If someone nominates one of your favorite articles for deletion...do explain why the subject meets inclusion criteria, providing reliable sources to support your assertion. Do not nominate another similar article for deletion, giving the same rationale.

    VR talk 14:00, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    After I read one of statements there "...Since there's no clear connection between superstition and particular religions, the current article seem to be a fake topic with a PoV to advance (or is easily taken for one, whatever the intent was)...... I felt it reasonable to seek wider inputs. This AfD has nothing to do with issue of references at other article but Above AfD statement is very clear "...Existence of articles associating religions and religious communities to superstitions is being contested.... which would be equally applicable to this article. As such I was not aware of the rules that one can not put similar article on deletion notice and still do not understand logic behind. Logic in my mind was if larger audience input is also against associating religions and religious communities to superstitions then I would self nominate Superstitions in Muslim societies for AfD. And also I did not get if you were and are sure there are not enough refs for Superstitions in Muslim societies then why you did not put it for AfD it self. Besides you people were reluctant to go point by point at RfC at central talk page of Talk:Superstition. And sources related problem you raised later you earlier started with definition of superstition and all for which I asked you to start RfC at central talk of Superstition, you did not do it I did put all your points neutrally in RfC, which you did not discuss point by point. If discussion does not happen centrally one ends up making mistakes like this, Wikipedians need to co-operate for central discussion IMHO.ThanksBookku (talk) 15:21, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I suppose users are missing "...Since there's no clear connection between superstition and particular religions, the current article seem to be a fake topic with a PoV to advance (or is easily taken for one, whatever the intent was)...... Which made my mind to seek inputs from wider audience through AfD. Wikipedia has too many rules many of which I am not aware of. But honestly I felt more attention to the topic at hand is better.

    • Keep, This article is definitely notable, well sourced and should remain. Ibn Daud (talk) 16:38, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete. I've studied a range of religions and, while they have beliefs that may be challenged, they are mostly against superstitions. So superstitions are not particularly linked to any given religion, but are regional and cultural in nature. So it makes far more sense to cover superstition by country or culture than to try and link it to religions. The latter sounds more like an agenda.Bermicourt (talk) 16:44, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete This article does not adequately distinguish religious and ethnic groups. It also tries to be very broad without the sourcing to support what it is saying, and ends up being just vacuuos. There may be a valdid topic here, but this article does not do it justice, and so should be deleted under TNT guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:10, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep the topic is clearly supported by substantial writings and s therefore notable. The motive for nominating this seems nothing to do with the article's intrinsic nature. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:13, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Procedural keep based solely on going to AfD without attempting talk page discussion first as per WP:BEFORE C3. Also noting that the nominating editor created this AfD in response to their similar RfC where very minimal discussion occurred and no consensus had been reached so creating this AfD seems premature. Jason Quinn (talk) 01:26, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep as there are good sources for it although I find it amazing that the article doesn't use Joshuah Trachtenbrerg's book mentioned above. Or that it evidently wasn't found in a Googlebooks search by the nominator (if indeed they did one, it does look as though their reason for nomination might not be notability). Doug Weller talk 12:04, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. Superstition in the Jewish community and culture are distinct from other superstitions. Extensive sourcing available.--Geshem Bracha (talk) 10:45, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep per Alansohn's sources. — Toughpigs (talk) 15:17, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep-ish, per much of the above, but consider the idea to shift articles like this toward "Folklore of", "Folk belief in", "Folk beliefs of", etc. There's some ongoing discussion of this at Talk:Superstitions in Muslim societies. The short version is that the "superstition[s]" label is apt to have WP:POV, WP:OR, WP:BIAS, and MOS:WTW problems, while a broader topic would not, and would actually be more encyclopedic anyway.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  12:24, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep Seem like most of the delete arguments are just WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Zoozaz1 (talk) 04:49, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Strong Keep When studying a religion we may want to understand what the common understanding is about superstition in that religion. For example if I am studying the Jewish temple and read about how it is specified in so many ways to be holy, I may start to look at the religion in terms of its belief system as a whole and want to know specifically how it's beliefs are differentiated from local superstition / purification rites / spiritual smudging / feng shui / new age / etc. So local / folk superstition could be classified as a belief system in contrast to the Jewish faith. And in that case it makes sense to be able to compare and contrast a religion with other systems of belief that appear related or even similar to it on some level. To imply we can only explore religious topics in a top down way is to miss the point of religious study: it's the cross links between these topics that make them so rich and interesting to study. By deleting articles like this we delete interesting content with real sources. Why delete unless we are motivated by biased goals? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.28.33.101 (talk) 05:25, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like the article was promotionally created when the film was being screened at film festivals in 2007, especially since the creator's username is "Josubu", the same name as the production company of this film's director - Jonathan Budine [57].

    Brian Nixon

    Brian Nixon (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

    Brian Nixon is one of 14 assistant pastors at the Albuquerque Calvary Chapel megachurch and has written publications for the church as well as articles for a Christian news site called Assist News Service. The article also claims notability on the basis of a band he was in in high school/college, The Electra. The article has a large number of references but I intend to show that they do not support the claim that Nixon is notable in any of the listed fields (music, writing, or religion/theology). Additionally, the article has hallmarks of being written by Nixon himself or someone close to him.

    • There are 38 references in the article. Of these, 18 (10, 12, 13, 15–19, 21–25, 28, 29, 35–37) are Nixon's own writings and one (33) is a video series claimed to be made by him. These cannot be used as evidence of notability because they are not independent of the subject.
    • Another four (1, 20, 27, 38) are from the Assist News Service, a Christian news website. Nixon is one of their writers so this is also not an independent source.
    • References 31 and 32 were published by churches with which Nixon is or was affiliated. These are not independent sources.

    I will go point by point on the other 13 references:

    2. The Greatest Band You Never Heard: The Electra, International Press Association (2008)

    The International Press Association is a paid platform where aspiring journalists can self-publish articles. This is not a reliable source. I can't find this article on their site, but it appears to be the same as this one. The byline identifies the writer as David Yardley of Assist News Service, which again is affiliated with Nixon.

    3. The Electra: A Band Like No Other, Good News Daily (2008)

    Good News Daily appears to have been a news aggregator site (archive at the Wayback Machine (archived 2008-12-21)) using user-supplied links. I can't find the article, if it existed, but this is not a reliable source.

    4. Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton: This Is Stones Throw Records, retrieved 2019-04-11

    According to IMDb, Nixon does not appear in this documentary and it is about a record label he was not affiliated with, so any mention of him, if it exists, is likely to be merely in passing.

    5. Griffith, Dorsey. "He Had Right T-Shirt-Wrong Rally". Modesto Bee. (April 3, 1991).

    This article isn't available online and it isn't clear from the title what it is even about, but there is no evidence that it is anything more than run-of-the-mill local coverage.

    6. Atwood, Lewie. "Local Band Finds Itself". The Signal News. (March 17, 1993).

    Not a specific enough reference to locate the article in question (if it exists). I thought The Signal News might refer to The Santa Clarita Valley Signal but I examined the March 17, 1993 issue on Newspapers.com and the article mentioned does not exist.

    7. Staff writer. "Canterbury". American Music Press. (May 1993, Volume 1, Issue 8).
    9. Cearley, Linda. "Local Band: Canterbury". Modesto Bee. (October 1993).

    I don't have access to these two articles but from their titles they appear to be about the band Canterbury and there is no evidence that they amount to significant coverage of Brian Nixon. American Music Press appears to refer to The American Music Press: Northern California's free music paper (1991–2000), so these are both local coverage and don't prove wider notability.

    8. Garcia, Chris. "Battle Cry". The Press Democrat. (Sunday, August 8, 1993).

    This was available via Newspapers.com. It is an article about a local battle of the bands with one sentence about Canterbury which does not mention Nixon. This kind of passing mention is not significant coverage.

    11. "The New Mexico Music Awards | Winners Listings". newmexicomusicawards.com. Retrieved 2019-03-25.

    Only lists Nixon's name and confirms that he was nominated for a non-notable local music award.

    Does not mention Nixon.

    26. Shirvani, Hamid."California State University Stanislaus: Alumni Directory". Harris Connect Inc., 2007 PNLH-W27-8-26.8VA. Page 310.

    Being an alum of a university is not evidence of notability.

    30. Nixon, Brian (2016-09-09). "Fighting the Good Fight: The Legacy of John Warwick Montgomery". Assist News. Retrieved 2019-03-21.

    Nixon is mentioned once, in passing, with his name misspelled (p. 62).

    38. "Book Awards". New Mexico Book Co-op. Retrieved 2019-03-25.

    There is not a list of 2018 finalists at the given link to verify the claim (that Nixon was a finalist for a non-notable local book award). In any case this is not evidence of notability.

    In conclusion, at best, the only references that could even possibly provide evidence of notability are 5, 7, and 9. They are not available online but from their titles it is unlikely they amount to substantial coverage of Brian Nixon. Two of them (7 and 9) appear run-of-the-mill local coverage of Nixon's non-notable band Canterbury and there is no evidence that they contain more than a passing mention of Nixon. The third (5) also sounds like run-of-the-mill local coverage and there is no evidence it is even about Nixon. My conclusion is that Nixon does not meet GNG or any other notability criteria.

    The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar (the best I see are two short mentions in two interviews in google books, but neither goes beyond a one-sentence plot summary or such). The PROD was removed without any rationale, so here we go. There is no referenced content to merge, and no valid redirect target (the author is not notable, and the topic is not mentioned in the publication in which the character reportedly appeared in).

    • Delete as WP:TOOSOON. It is to be published by Edward Elgar Publishing, so not predatory or anything. But, according to its website ([58]), not a single issue has been published yet.

    The Electra

    AfDs for this article:
    The Electra (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
    (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

    This is a high school/college band whose importance has been greatly overstated in the article. There was a previous AfD in 2008 that closed as keep after multiple WP:SPAs came out of the woodwork to defend it. The creator appears to have a close connection to the subject.

    The band's greatest claim to fame is that the DJ Peanut Butter Wolf was (allegedly) a member. A scanned catalog page from the Electra's record label that I found on Facebook appears to support this but this is literally the only source I can find connecting Peanut Butter Wolf to the band, and his article does not mention it at all. I don't think this is verifiable enough for the article to even redirect to Peanut Butter Wolf. The other allegedly notable member is Brian Nixon, whose article I have also AfD'd because I don't believe he is actually notable.

    The Electra supposedly had a "major release" on Epithet/Americanon, but in reality this label is so obscure that barely any verifiable information exists about it. The article also makes a weak claim that the band was "influential" because some of the members were in other bands. The band does not meet any of WP:BAND criteria 2–12 in my opinion.

    The sources in the article are mostly offline but do not appear sufficient to meet the threshold of WP:BAND #1 or WP:GNG:

    • References 1 and 2 are to the Monitor Newspaper, a college newspaper.
    • References 3 and 4 are about Peanut Butter Wolf, not the Electra. The Examiner article is available via Newspapers.com and does not mention the Electra. There is no evidence the other article mentions the Electra either.
    • Reference 5 is to an article from Assist News Service, a Christian news website. This is not an independent source as Brian Nixon is one of their writers.
    • References 7 and 8 are from a local music publication. The articles are not online, but based on the titles "Musical Round-Up" and "Demo Round-Up" it is clear that the Electra is not the subject of these pieces. Brief mentions in a local music paper do not prove notability.
    • Reference 10 is a dead link to what appears to be the Electra's record label. This is not an independent source.
    • References 6 and 9 are to BAM, another music publication local to northern California. Reference 9 is titled "JBL Local Music Focus" which sounds like it is just a brief write-up which may not be specifically about the Electra. Reference 6 is apparently a review of one of the Electra's releases. These are the most substantial-seeming references in the article, but still not enough to prove notability. Local music papers cover a wide variety of acts and many of them are not notable.

    I have searched for other sources using Newspapers.com since the band dates to the pre-internet era. I was not able to find a single article that even mentions the band. The references in the article seem to be the full extent of all coverage ever accorded to the Electra and in my opinion are not sufficient to prove notability.
