- Hi Liz,
- I would like to ask if this page could be reinstated, please, in order to remove any promotional language and provide published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
- Thanks so much for this consideration!

- Delete or merge. I tried to work on this in 2016, but it appears single-purpose account Special:Contributions/Tdieds1945 added some more promotion, and spun off an entirely new Apache Ignite article on the technology. Then various editors removed more of the promotion, resulting in, well not much. Certainly not enough to justify two articles, so I would say remove this one or redirect it to Apache Ignite.

- Delete or merge: this sounded familiar. Indeed, back in 2016 I proposed merging this into Fusion-io but the merge expired a couple years later after I got re-employed briefly. There already is a brief mention of NexGen in that article. If I have some time today I can try to mention it in the SanDisk article too, since it is not clear where it should go. Probably not enough sources to make the case for a separate article. W Nowicki (talk) 22:41, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't often send college articles to AfD but this seemed like a clear candidate. I was going to draftify but a near-identical version already sits there (created by the same user). I'm not seeing sufficient coverage for WP:NORG, in particular WP:ORGDEPTH is not met as the coverage that I can find is just listings in Outlook India or a mention in a Brand Connect post in Forbes India which also fails WP:ORGIND. Also note that Google Books had nothing of substance and I'm not convinced by my ProQuest search either. I did find this article but it reads more like an advert for the school rather than independent journalism! I might be wrong, though.
Draft:Poddar International College can stay but the mainspace article should be deleted unless clear NORG coverage can be demonstrated. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 20:40, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

It's Morris
This article about a television show does not satisfy television notability or general notability. It has been moved from article space to draft space once, and copied back into article space without addressing the concern that it lacks Reception information, and that the sources are not reliable and secondary. Review of the sources shows that none of them are significant coverage.
Reference Number | Reference | Comments | Independent | Significant | Reliable | Secondary |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Netondemand.mt | Short description of show | No | Yes | No | |
2 | Gwida.mt | Interview with actress | No | No | ||

An article probably can be developed on the show that will pass notability, so the draft should be kept. This article does not pass notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:56, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

- keep: This article should not be deleted cause it obeys Wikipedia's notability requirements for films. In accordance with WP:NOTFILM, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article". I appreciate your feedback but all sources which I referenced are independent. NET Television is a television station in Malta owned by Media.link Communications, the media arm of the Nationalist Party. It started broadcasting in 1998 so how come it's not an independent source and reliable? You listed Gwida as well. "Gwida has been the best-selling magazine in Malta for over 50 years" [1] so it is definitely a reliable and independent source. You listed Lovin Malta too. If you go on their website, they post articles about food and drink, lifestyle (art, celebrities, fashion, human interest, music and animals), politics, sport... so it is definitely an independent source and reliable as well. Also, the information from the sources which I referenced are all significant. I presume you're not from Malta so obviously you could not understand the articles written in Maltese. For example, the one which I referencee from Gwida magazine, yes as you mentioned it is an interview with the producer / director Eileen Montesin but it is absolutely significant as she said "Morris kien challenge gdid. Peress li Mark Haber li jaħdem il-parti ta' Morris huwa fil-fatt ir-raġel tiegħi fil-ħajja reali" which means that this series was a challenge due to the fact that Haber is her husband. Later on, she said "għamilt spin off minn Becky u rnexxieli noħroġ żewġ sensiliet ta' it's Morris b'suċċess". So why is this interview not significant to the article if here she's saying It's Morris is a spin-off from Becky and she managed to create two seasons of It's Morris with success. You mentioned the article from Newsbook. As a comment you wrote, "Information about actress's Youtube channel". However, I referenced this source cause towards the end of the article, there's written "Fuq l-istess channel tal-YouTube bdew ukoll jitilgħu l-episodji ta’ It’s Morris b’Mark Haber fil-parti ewlenija taz-ziju Morris." which means that on this youtube channel, episodes of It's Morris are being uploaded, where Haber plays Uncle Morris. I appreciate your feedback cause I want to keep learning in Wikipedia Editing but honestly, a lot of the information which you listed in the table is misleading. Other Maltese natives can support this. It's not your fault obviously cause if you're not Maltese, you won't be familiar with our magazines, the language, etc... but the way you commented on the article, administrators might delete it for wrong reasons, that's why I tried to clarify the sources and referencee which I used cause everything is independent and significant to the article. Again, thanks for your feedback but it would be a shame if the article gets deleted cause Montesin's productions are so popular in Malta, and it's really a pity that there are very few Maltese Wikipedia editors, which is why there aren't a lot of articles about Maltese shows, cause fellow editors like you would reasonably doubt it's notability and do not understand the show's popularity, nor are they familiar with which sources are independent. If there are other Maltese Wikipedia editors, and administrators, they would definitely not delete it cause every source is independent and relative. Thanks.

- @Tbwqbc1 at least three of the sources are interviews, which are primary sources and not (usually) thought of as reliable. Two of the other sources are user-generated, the first only has a small paragraph of content, and the rest are just about the actors/actresses themselves. >>> Wgullyn.talk(); 01:24, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm willing to be proven wrong, but looks like a fairly run-of-the-mill ice-cream shop with nothing more than the normal publicity that I'd expect. I can't see great sources. Someone just added some information about them teaming up with Microsoft, which looked potentially interesting, but they ref-bombed it with a huge list of very weak sources, so I'm not even convinced by that. Doesn't look in any way notable. Elemimele (talk) 22:51, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep just because it's a stub right now doesn't mean it can't be expanded. A quick Google search turned up dozens of articles, some almost 10 years ago and one from only 6 days ago, showing that it does have lasting coverage. >>> Wgullyn.talk(); 01:29, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Wgullyn: I'd be really grateful if you could suggest one that's not an interview. It'd be just so good if we can get this article supported by at least one source that's independent of the subject. All four of those suggested by Pburka are interviews/churnalism and when I did my googling, all I could find was a complete plethora of almost identical interview-based pieces, and blog-type stuff about the Microsoft icecream. Elemimele (talk) 09:40, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- In the spirit of honesty, I should make it clear that I removed a sentence about the microsoft collaboration before creating this AfD because it was supported by no less than 17 citations, all of which were to interviews, blogs etc.; anyone who wishes to assess those sources is welcome to have a look at the previous version here [1]. Elemimele (talk) 09:45, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- The dismissal of any source that includes an interview isn't supported by Wikipedia policies, and dismissing reliable sources as "churnalism" certainly isn't. Regardless, the business has also received significant coverage in Rehabilitation Is Reentry (Garot; p. 315; Routledge; 2019), and Stronger Together (Clinton and Kaine; p. 201; Simon & Schuster; 2016). pburka (talk) 16:04, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Lots of editors fail to realise that sources may be used to support facts/information within an article - and sure, interviews are fine for that. But there's a different examination for sources used to establish notability - and primary sources (which is what an interview is) are not acceptable for certain topics, such as companies/organizations. Check out WP:ORGIND and the definition for "Independent Content". HighKing++ 12:49, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, please do put the book references in. But honestly the existing sources apart from your books are not good sources. Theverge one says next to nothing about the ice-cream business, it's mostly a promotional piece for microsoft, and quite probably commissioned publicity. The Newyork entertainment piece is a short interview piece featuring 4 icecream outlets, of which this one gets less than 30sec. The eater is also really just a passing reference, being mostly about Hilary Clinton. These are fine as subsidiary references, but is there anything in depth and independent? If the books are, please put them in, because the article desperately needs them.
- as for the comment about dismissing interviews, Pburka, I quote "Generally speaking, it is okay to sparingly use interviews to source some facts, so long as the article is also using a good mixture of other types of reliable sources" from Wikipedia:Interviews. That's precisely what I want. Elemimele (talk) 16:16, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- I trust you're not mistaking an essay for policy. pburka (talk) 16:54, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. The WP:RESTAURANTREVIEWS section most likely applies to this type of company.
- I'm assuming all the sources are reliable (unless obvious blogs or social media) and the publishers are corporately independent from the topic organization - but there's more requirements than that for establishing notability.
- As per WP:SIRS each reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability - the quantity of coverage is irrelevant, there can be 100 references but for the purposes of establishing notability we only require a minumum of two that each meet the criteria
- WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or 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. This is usually the criteria where most references fail. References cannot rely only on information provided by the company, quotations, press releases, announcements, *interviews* fail ORGIND. They are considered primary sources for most purposes. Whatever is left over must also meet CORPDEPTH.
- Not a single reference either mentioned above or in the article meet the criteria. Most discuss the tie-in with Windows11 but even then, the others focus on the owner/founder - great story but doesn't translate to notability of the company for me. Topic therefore fails WP:NCORP. If anyone wants to post other references (perhaps reviews?) I'm happy to review and perhaps change my mind. HighKing++ 12:46, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: There are assertions about the sources that are diametrically opposite to one another, but at the moment the closing admin is being asked to judge the sources for themselves; elaboration from all parties of why they consider sources counting toward NCORP, or why they don't, would be helpful.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Vanamonde (Talk) 04:07, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Vanamonde93: thank you for your accurate summary. My personal view is that although the supporting sources are in good places, they're all fairly trivial, and generic: for example one is an interview piece visiting several ice-cream outlets, which means it's more about the concept of ice-cream sales in NY than about Mikey's, and is a rather short feel-good space-filler; the Microsoft bit is about Mikey's, but my impression is that some marketing people had a mutually-beneficial idea, and this is the sort of publicity they'd generate to carry it through. My attention was drawn to this article in the first place by an addition that was ref-bombed with 17 sources, some of which were automatically tagged as deprecated and unreliable [2]. But of course many bad sources doesn't mean all bad sources. And I am absolutely happy to put my hands up and admit I don't know the full details of the ice-cream or publishing scenes in NY: an independent assessment of the sources from someone else would carry far more weight than mine. Elemimele (talk) 14:16, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - minimal coverage exists of this two (three?) location ice cream chain. Fails WP:GNG. Also, WP:TOOSOON. It's a nice feel good story - hopefully more coverage will occur as he expands. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 00:20, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- Question. The article would probably be a narrow pass on WP:GNG, but the community norm is that a mere WP:GNG pass when coupled with an WP:NCORP fail renders an article notable. Much of the coverage is about Cole as a person—coverage of Cole's story as a convicted felon-turned-ice cream salesman is an inspiring story, the coverage of which very well may render him passing WP:NBIO. But I'm not really seeing coverage in the online sources that the pair of stores passes WP:CORPDEPTH. I'm seeing above that pburka mentions at least one usable book (I'm not so sure about Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign manifesto being an RS in this context). I don't have access to the source, but I might be persuaded that coverage goes beyond WP:CORPDEPTH if the coverage in that book is substantial. Is anybody able to describe the sorts of facts that the book contains regarding the article subject? — Mhawk10 (talk) 05:21, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

I find it impossible that this article has lasted this long despite having no sources and only 2 events with the other sections being empty. The only reason I can see this existing is for easier navigation through the years, but it is so short and so undeveloped in so long of a time that I suggest redirecting or merging with 806 In asia, or even deleting all together.

I strongly feel this Bad Omens song article doesn't meet notability guidelines WP:NSONG for inclusion, and should probably just be merged to band page, as we don't even have an article for the containing album (per "Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album."
NSONG recommendation). The single chart this appeared on was not a Top 100 or such, but rather a very region- and genre-specific Mainstream Rock chart - such mediocre charting does not alone demonstrate notability. By comparison, the Bad Omens song 'Limits' on the same album charted higher and stayed on longer, and even an article for that song would not be warranted. There is almost no mainstream reliable source coverage of this song for any other merits, and it has virtually no chance of becoming more than the existing stub. Added: The 6 references currently consist of 4 refs about the song that are minimal "press release" style release information (no reviews), 1 interview article about the album as a whole (not a review and not a mainstream music news site), and of course the chart performance link. -- Netoholic @ 22:20, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep - as creator. The song passes WP:NSONGS by it's charting on a major chart, (Top 30 of a valid WP:GOODCHART)and kept receiving coverage. Much of the nomination is irrelevant otherwise - the fact that the same band had another single that charted better but doesn't have its own article is a complete WP:OSE failure.

- Note that this is a comment from the article's creator. And I'll reiterate that chart performance alone is not sufficient (WP:NSONG:

The result was redirect to Oundle School. This is complicated, with the reliability of UK Who's Who a key factor as so many keeps are in part reliant on that. Given that consensus, there is no other significant factor present here to keep Kerr-Dineen's article. However, nor is there BLP issue sourcing that merits delete. As such, the article history is under the redirect should anyone want to selectively merge. Star Mississippi 01:39, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Does anyone else find it disturbing that we include the head of Oundle's bog-standard response following an Ofsted report (“This inspection report is an independent record of the work of every member of the staff community as evidenced in the outstanding quality of the outcomes experienced and shown by our pupils”) when almost exactly the same thing has been said by every head of every school in England? If you happen to be head of a busy bog-standard state-funded school, no one cares. I would feel more comfortable with Kerr-Dineen's article if it dwelt on her notable achievements rather than assuming that she's notable ex officio because Oundle is an important school. The article on Oundle_School contains a list of notable headmasters. Are all headmasters notable, or do they have to contribute something unique, or make a lasting impression in educational literature, histories, etc., or at least in national newspapers, to qualify as notable?

- Delete, neither GNG nor NACADEMIC are met, and also a likely violation of WP:NOTCV. Being the head of a "major English private school" (what constitutes such a claim remains to be explained) doesn't make one inherently notable, since notability is in the quasi-totality of cases not inherited. Editors who cite the UK Who's Who are wrong about the reliability of the publication. On top of the fact that Who's Who directories are not reliable sources (per almost every discussion at RSN), and besides the fact that Wikipedia is not a directory, this discussion at RSN based on a 2004 investigative piece by the Spectator has uncovered that UK's Who's Who has admitted in the past that it doesn't fact check every entry and corrections are only made upon mutual agreement - meaning that if a person says they studied in Oxford rather than in London, and they just ignore requests from correction from UK Who's Who (assuming anybody has lodged a complaint, which I find hard to believe since UKWW is behind a paywall), nothing is done. That means that UKWW cannot be considered a reliable source and cannot therefore count towards any GNG analysis.

- And just to add to my previous comment, the remaining in-depth coverage she receives is run-of-the-mill local press coverage from Oundle Chronicle (a town of 5,000 where she heads the local school) and from a 2009 East London and West Essex Guardian piece, from when she was the head of another school, which interviewed her with hard-hitting questions such as "Do you have any pets?"

There is no consensus on the reliability of Who's Who UK. It is a reference work with information mainly collected from the people concerned. Editors are divided on whether sufficient editorial control exists, and whether it is an independent source.
See RSP entry.- It's about it being a source of notability: From the BBC: "Who's Who is among the world's most recognised and respected reference books. It has been published annually by A & C Black since 1897 and was the first biographical book of its kind. It contains over 33,000 short biographies of living noteworthy and influential individuals, from all walks of life, worldwide." The Wall Street Journal: What is it that really puts the stamp of eminence on a modern British life? Certainly not receiving a title in an official honors list. But during your lifetime, two things do count today: having an entry in "Who's Who" and getting asked to choose your eight favorite records on BBC Radio-4's "Desert Island Discs."

On top of that, Who's Who has a poor track record with fact-checking and corrections, which goes against WP:REPUTABLE's requirement of a

, so it cannot be considered a reliable source. All of this is reflected in the Wikipedia-wide lack of consensus on this source. Pilaz (talk) 18:00, 11 February 2022 (UTC)- I agree with what you are saying. But we're not using UK Who's Who here for some questionable biographical information but just as a method to determine whether a person is deemed to be notable enough for an English Wikipedia entry. I think that having a UK Who's Who entry should be considered when determining notability. Piecesofuk (talk) 18:38, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Per the general notability guideline:
A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
[...]Sources should be secondary sources.
Who's Who is neither reliable nor secondary. Therefore it cannot be used to determine the notability of an individual.

As a real person, a hoax; as a fictional character, not sufficiently notable. The earliest mention of her that I can find in Google Books is in the 1960s, which doesn't track with her operating in the 1650s; she seems to have originated in a book or books by Léon Treich sometime between the 1940s and 1960s (I don't have full Google Books access to Les femmes d'abordage which seems like it contains info on which book she was in), with her biography being embellished through a horrible game of telephone over time. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 20:53, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

- Tough one. I am getting plenty of hits, but very few scholarly. The only academic paper I see that mentions her is [3], where he is mentioned on passing with the qualifier "supposed". This is a review of the book Women Pirates and the Politics of the Jolly Roger by Klausmann, Meinzerin, Kuhn, where the reviewer notes this supposed pirate is discussed. Google Books has mostly useless snippet view, but I was able to access the book through Z-library. She has a 4-page chapter there, but the quality of this work is very dubious - the chapter is half-fictionalized (story), and it contains ZERO references or footnotes. Despite receiving one academic review, I don't think we can call this work scholarly (the reviewer also describes the authors as freelancers and the book as offering " a mix of fact, legend, savory recipes, and political dicta "). She is mentioned in [4] (Piracy: From the High Seas to the Digital Age by Lombardo book). I cannot access it so I can only see that she is mentioned on one page. The book is not scholarly - the snippet blurb says the author has A BA in English and writes books for young adults. She gets two pages, again, unreferenced, non-academic in [5]. A more serious (non fiction) but unreferenced paragraph in [6]. Pirate Women: The Princesses, Prostitutes, and Privateers, this is the book mentioned by Colin above, and it is at Z-library too, so I downloaded it. The author, Duncombe, does not appear to be an academic and the book does not appear to have received any academic reviews. She does, however, present a relatively coherent analysis, starting by confirming that the subject is likely a hoax: "If Anne de Graaf has only a small chance of having really lived, Jacquotte Delahaye has an even smaller one. Spanish author Germán Vázquez Chamorro in his book Mujeres Piratas (Pirate Women) claims that she certainly never existed...". Sadly, her work, as mentioned, is nonacademic and has no footnotes, she just refers to "others wrote", and cites, besides Chamorro, only Klausmann (not even bothering to mention the two other co-authors of that work). This being the fifth or sixth sloppy nonacademic rehashing of the same, i where I gave up. As far as more reliable sources go, a few mention her in passing. Ex. [7] by [8] (the chair of the department of history at Saint Louis University) seems to treat her existence as a fact by writing that "Jacquotte Delahaye led a gang of a hundred pirates that took a small Caribbean island from the Spanish in 1656 and died several years later in a shootout defending her “freebooter republic.” (sadly, there is no footnote; this just goes to show that academics can often do half-assed research too and refer to fictional characters as real...).
- So in summary... I am leaning weak keep given that her story has proven to be enduring (as a form of a tall tale I guess), but the article needs to clearly say that this is a fictional character. The sources I reviewed did not clarify who invented it or when, although the op is likely right, ex. [9] states that "Jacquotte Delahaye, for example, is said to have been a biracial female filibuster who ... Her life is a 1940s fabrication by French author Léon Treich". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:41, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: I think that even if we acknowledge that she's an urban legend or whatever, we run into the issue of a paucity of sources discussing her from an out-of-universe perspective. It'd be like if we sourced Vanishing hitchhiker from accounts of people who claimed it happened to them - we clearly couldn't do that even if we took the initiative to reframe it properly as an urban legend. The info that we have on her "life" comes from the primary sources who made it up. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 05:11, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Roscelese If we treat the account of her life as a plot summary, there is still more (the discussion of creation by Treich, the discussion of her in the context of rare but popular female pirates) than in the cases of most fictional characters which nonetheless generate quite a lot of (IMHO, quite weak, argument-wise) keep votes. I base my view on the fact that I've been a regular of the linked list of Fictional elements-related deletion discussions which I encourage you to frequent too. From my perspective, she is more notable, and gets more coverage in sources than many comic book characters and similar that have been kept based on simply having plot summaries and media appearances listed in few picture books(!). Now, I am not sure if the comic/popculture fans will appear here (sadly, it doesn't appear Delahaye got her own comic book series yet...), but I do think this is a discussion worth drawing attention to, which is why I am also going to ping User:7&6=thirteen of the (in)famous Article Rescue Squadron. This is a topic than can be, IMHO, rescued, and that includes rewriting the article with sources I found (and similar) that are not very hard to access.

To a degree a test case, but subject and content does not seem to pass the bar for an article under WP:GNG with most RS about the death event which was apparently a non-notable car accident. There is a question if either the President's Police Medal for long service, which while honourable, is ranked below the gallantry version, or if Additional director general of police is sufficient reason to satisfy WP:ANYBIO, bearinig in mind statesin India are often larger and more populous than many countries. A WP:NPP has tagged the article for notability but the article author has improved the article and they seem convinced nootability is now satisfied.

He had 5 more years of service, in which any IPS officer gets DG rank. If the subject doesn't pass WP:GNG of a dead police officer (2nd highest rank), then I wonder what else might be eligible. It should be KEEP. :) --NeverTry4Me - TT page 23:23, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Same with the latest Nikkei - there isn't a single para that's not a quote or a restatement of company line. I hit paywall for the other, but if it's the same as this, it's a routine funding announcement which NCORP explicitly bars. hemantha (brief) 10:02, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete This is a company/organization therefore NCORP guidelines apply. I'm assuming all the sources are reliable and the publishers are corporately independent from the topic organization - but there's more requirements than that for establishing notability. WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or 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. Not a single reference either mentioned above or in the article meet the criteria, volume of "coverage" often means an absense of quality references. Topic fails WP:NCORP.

I found no significant coverage of this individual. Only database coverage and such. This is not enough to pass GNG, which is a requirement under the sports SNG. Plus as a non-medalists at the Olympics he does not pass the inclusion criteria for Olympians either. I did find indcations there is I beleive a contemporary (ie alive now) musician with the same name, and there is an actor with this same name born in 1905, so there is no reason to think this would be the person people are searching for when they type in this name, so a redirect is not justified.

- Comment Plenty of hits searching the Finnish Newspaper Archive for the name (link to search, UI language can be changed from the top-right corner), but mostly in the Swedish language papers. Perhaps someone with better Swedish than mine can check them out. A ton more hits for what is essentially surname + "boxer" + "boxing" in Finnish ([18]). Unfortunately I don't have the time to assess these for depth of coverage at this point. -Ljleppan (talk) 21:41, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- I read Swedish. I was able to commence an expansion of the article, where the sources are plentiful to say the least. Significant coverage of a boxer would of course be articles focused on Huuskonen, describing how he boxed, style, etc. Bear in mind Swedish is the minority language of Finland, and the coverage in Finnish (which I don't understand at all, and the pdfs can't be machine translated) is many times larger. I will sift through the hits for coverage on his later life etc, but keep for now. Geschichte (talk) 13:56, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:NOTDUP. Sources included are valuable to the encyclopedia, which a category does not provide. Most major labels have a similar artist list (see Category:Lists of recording artists by label). Qwaiiplayer (talk) 14:24, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep The rules clearly state you can not delete a list article because you prefer it as a category. Dream Focus 15:32, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. This is a new label, founded in 2018, hence there is no length-of-article argument to justify splitting off separate discography and artists lists. The sources establish that the singles were released, and by the label; hence within the Made in Baltics article, these sources would potentially assist in establishing notability for the label. But it isn't a major label, in fact that article is very poorly sourced, with notability dependent, so far as I can see, on one group and one referenced award (other awards are listed but not sourced; if either sources for them or extended articles on the label itself exist, the situation may change, but a series of editors have judged the article as not making an adequate case for notability). In particular, there are not many artists in this list; it would fit very easily in a paragraph within the article on the label. (I also don't see any evidence of independently notable singles at List of Made In Baltics singles; have any done especially well in charts?) So that argument for having a list—many notable items—doesn't appear to obtain either. I think this should be a list within the label article, benefiting that article with its sources as well as its content, and with the title recreated as a redirect for those who search on it, and I would support doing the same for the longer discography article, too. At least until it does qualify as a major label, with both sections getting awfully long and with a lot written about what the label has contributed to music and to its artists' careers.

- Comment. From the view of WP:GNG, He had significant coverage in several renowned online news portal where he passed this criteria and as for notable he must played at least one game on highest international level or domestic level, from the view of WP:NCRICKET where as he failed to meet this criteria.

- @Fade258:, what you say is nothing but clueless and insignificant until and unless you convey the sources or citations here.
- @Fade258:, those are sheer mockery, both are connected to his elder brother and refer to the same incident indeed. A single incident can not make a person, irrespectve of his or her field, notable enough to meet GNG. Can you deny the fact? Michri michri (talk) 14:46, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

- Comment. May I frankly speak, all the sources related to this article except his Cricinfo profile are either directly or indirectly in a few cases somehow connected to his elder brother, The Sultan of Bengal, Mohammed Shami. --Michri michri (talk) 14:29, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- If there is nothing on this guy, then redirect to List of Bengal cricketers per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 14:46, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect. I don't think in this instance the above presented sources carry enough weight to satisfy GNG. Can always revisit this article when he player has made more appearances, and with it more coverage. For now a redirect as suggested by Lugnuts is the best course of action. StickyWicket (talk) 17:35, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of Bengal cricketers Yeah I'm redirect on this one, not seeing enough despite what some others are saying for a GNG pass in the search I've done, and fails the updated guidelines. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 21:30, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. What is the point of redirecting with such an improbable search term? How would that be useful to anyone? Is he even mentioned in other pages where blue linking to his team list would be warranted? JoelleJay (talk) 22:42, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- WP:R#KEEP. The fact that some coverage exists and there is a redirect target would be a reason to redirect. Mohammed Kaif redirects to another article Mohammad Kaif so an alternative has to be used. And yes there are links from other articles. A865 (talk) 23:50, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect, either to the List of Bengal cricketers or, as an alternative, Mohammed Shami - his brother. There are cases where we've redirected other family members to articles in the past. Despite the unlikely search, that preserves the page content - although much of the coverage reflects his family, it's entirely possible that there may be enough to warrant a standalone article at some point.

- Delete - An article should speak for itself, and this article does not provide any indication of what the subject is notable for.
- Maybe the author intends the subject to pass creative notability for a volume of short films, but only one of the titles, Suttabaazi, has its own article, and it and this BLP appear to be the beginning of a walled garden.
- This BLP has been moved back to draft space three times, once by User:Praxidicae and twice by User:Onel5969, and each time move back by the author without discussion. We can see that the author wants this BLP in article space. We can see that the author isn't interested in discussion.
- This article has been reference-bombed with 50 sources. The reviewers have no obligation and no plan to check 50 sources. I would ask the author to identify not less than three and not more than five sources, but the author clearly isn't interested in collaborative editing.
- Maybe the author should find a wiki that doesn't require collaborative editing.
- This is a content forum, and the author doesn't want to work on this BLP in draft space, and this article doesn't satisfy notability for article space, which leaves deletion.
- Delete - fails WP:GNG, also a case of UPE/COI editing, so salting would probably be a good idea given the creator's editing history. Onel5969 TT me 15:18, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete and salt. The article does not meet GNG or any other notability guideline.

GNG is very difficult to gauge due to the more famous cricketer of the same name and nationality.

The result was no consensus , which defaults to keep. There is no question that this article has been substantively improved during this AfD, and credit to all who have done so. However there remains a disconnect within and beyond this AfD about the volume needed to meet the significant coverage of the GNG, therefore there is no clear keep consensus.

Draftify (or delete, in light of the convincing analysis of the situation by TheCatalyst) Articles plainly and blatantly fails WP:GNG at this time. The sources are A) 2 databases B) 2 trivial mentions.

- Comment The nominator closed the AfD as "Withdrawn", but that edit was reverted by another editor per WP:WITHDRAWN, as some other delete !votes were still outstanding.

- Per WP:NSPORTS:
conversely, meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept
. Per the same,If a sports figure meets the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean they do not have to meet the general notability guideline? A2: No
. And on top of that, you can't write an article which meets the other guidelines and policies (WP:NOR; WP:NPOV; WP:NOT) solely on insufficient sources like this.You are clearly disrupting Wikipedia to make a point.RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:51, 9 February 2022 (UTC)- Per NSPORTS:

BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:59, 9 February 2022 (UTC)- Nonsense wikilawyering. NSPORTS clearly states that the actual inclusion criteria is GNG.
If the article does meet the criteria set forth below, then it is likely that sufficient sources exist to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.

- We're not talking about "many politicians" or even the general case of articles being only sourced to databases. We're talking about this article. There is WP:NORUSH to create articles, and that includes taking the time to find proper sources if they exist, and not blindly assume an SNG establishes insta-notability-despite-GNG-not-being-met. It doesn't as it explicitly states itself. There is no exception from GNG for sportspeople (nor do I see how one could come to such a conclusion reading the guidelines as written), unlike for some other groups.

Keep: Meets WP:NGRIDIRON. What is POINTY here is PRODing and sending an article to AfD so shortly after its creation. There is no deadline here and nominating it so quickly does not allow for a deeper search for print sources, since this is a player who played before the advent of the internet. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 17:27, 9 February 2022 (UTC)Redirect to 1987 Minnesota Vikings season. Having only played in two games (and he doesn't even appear in stats for the games), this alternative to deletion is preferable. Could be something interesting stemming from his status as a replacement player during the player strike, but nothing beyond his PFR entry hurts the claim to notability. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 18:52, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
*Keep- Etzedek24 makes a really good point. There is no deadline for AfD, and more searches can be conducted up since this player did play, and played before the internet. My !vote could change, but I'm erring on the side of Etzedek and BeanieFan. Spf121188 (talk) 17:34, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete a review of Newspapers.com only came up with three hits, all of which were transactional in nature: [19] [20] [21]. Note that two of those 3 sources are covering the same transaction. There is a complete lack of significant coverage of the player, both online and in print sources. Thus this fails WP:GNG. Regarding Etzedek24's comment, there is absolutely no deadline, but that applies to the creation and creator of the article. There is no deadline to create the article and take the time to find the relevant sources prior to moving to the Mainspace. But when it is moved to the Mainspace, the onus is on the creator to make sure it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, not on other Wikipedia editors to give them time to flush it out. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:36, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per Gonzo, or perhaps merge into 1987 Minnesota Vikings season. NSPORTS goes to presumption of notability for players who have played in a professional game. That presumption still has to be met. Absent significant coverage in reliable sources, which hasn't been brought forward as yet, it doesn't. I did some checking in newspapers.com myself and there's the sort of routine gameday coverage that you'd expect, but no in-depth profiles, and nothing much outside of Eastern Washington and Idaho. Playing a snap of pro football, by itself, does not mean you're notable. Mackensen (talk) 18:26, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- I do not understand why, as an encyclopedia, we would want to get rid of an article that meets our criteria of inclusion (NGRIDIRON).

BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:30, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Because databases and trivial mentions are not encyclopedic, and NGRIDIRON is not a criterion of inclusion. The only thing that matters is that a topic has received significant attention from reliable sources. This is according to nothing other than NSPORTS itself (FAQ#5). Avilich (talk) 18:35, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Our criteria for inclusion is not and never has been "played a professional sport". Rather, it is significant coverage about the subject, which playing a professional sport may suggest exists. I am astounded that such a concept of automatic notability is even considered, as we are not a mere database of athletes. Reywas92Talk 18:58, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete GNG is the absolute minimum for getting articles on sports people. It is because of disruptive editing by the likes of Beaniefan11, and his refusal to even recognize the full text of the sports SNGs, that many of us have come to the conclusion that it is time to do away with the sports SNGs, because they are being used to try to turn Wikipedia into a sport stats page instead of an encyclopedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:21, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm sure we could find a handful of players since 2005 who played in just a few games but have significant coverage on them.

DeleteAs several other editors have noted, this article doesn't meet GNG, but I don't think it meets the spirit of NGRIDIRON either. As the Times-News reference confirms, Fitzgerald only played in the NFL as a replacement player during the 1987 NFL strike. The replacement players weren't top-level players, since those players were striking, and most of them had no hope of making the NFL were it not for the strike. Some of them became notable through their play as a replacement player, and some were notable because of their college careers or their time in other professional leagues, but many of them were just mid-tier college players who were willing and able to play pro football on short notice. I don't know if it's worth changing NGRIDIRON to call out a single-season edge case, but the replacement players aren't all notable in their own right, and Fitzgerald doesn't meet the GNG on his own. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:28, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- Changing to Neutral. I stand by my comments on NGRIDIRON, but I'm no longer sure how I feel about whether this article meets GNG or not. On the one hand, there are a lot more sources now, and the article is in a lot better shape in general. On the other hand, the sources are a little weak - maybe there's something from the Pocatello or Idaho Falls papers that just isn't online, but very few of the sources are substantial, and even the non-trivial ones are fairly short. I don't feel comfortable endorsing deletion anymore, but I'm also not all the way on the keep side yet, so I'm sitting out unless someone digs up more coverage. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 05:01, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep The question is are there sources out there beyond statistics of a person who meets NGRIDIRON. We have the article from the Times-News in the article. Trivial, perhaps, but from an independent and reliable source. I also found this article about the subject's high school coach in the Spokesman Review. The subject is the primary person interviewed in the article (and includes some biographical details about the subject). The subject is described as a leader of the Bengals defense. The subject is described as being invited back to camp in subsequent years. So, I think there are sufficient sources to merit an article. --Enos733 (talk) 00:17, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- The first one of these clearly contains only very trivial content about Fitzgerald. It might be SIGCOV of his high school coach, but notability is not inherited. Interview are not independent sources so are not usually accepted. "Described as leader of the Bengals (not the NFL Bengals, but some university [Idaho State University] team Bengals) defense" is A) a trivial mention as far as I can see (p. 23/28 in the PDF for those who want to spend less time checking that) and B) it's from a student newspapers... The final source includes some tidbits of information, but it seems like most of it comes from the subject's own mouth. The sum of "independent coverage in reliable sources" is thus essentially the following sentence from that last article:
Fitzgerald, now defensive coordinator at Lake City High School in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, was good enough to be invited back for training camps in 1988 and 1989, though he never made the roster.
- Sure, that's better than statistics, but if that's the whole of what we can say on this subject, he doesn't really warrant a separate page. Sufficient coverage (along with all the other similar players in his situation) can be given in 1987 NFL strike and 1987 Minnesota Vikings season. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 00:46, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Also, I don't think

- Also, I don't think
- The standard is not straight GNG, it is WP:NSPORT and specifically WP:NGRIDIRON. There is no doubt the subject played in the NFL. There is independent, reliably sourced information of the subject, beyond a database listing. This is why the SNG exists, to provide a presumption of notability in cases like this one (a presumption that can certainly be refuted, but rebuttable by showing reliably sourced material). We can piece more together, especially if we can find more from the subject's college and high school career (as seen in being nominated for conference player of the week, as of 2012 the subject being on several lists of top ten performances in Idaho State history [and this is without having online access to the Idaho State papers]). And, we must also understand why the SNG exists, it exists, in part because there are editors who want to know more about the players in professional athletics. These players are at the pinnacle of their sport, and are stars at the prep level. There are public details about transactions, salaries, and in many sports, more statistics than can be comprehended. Our community wants this comprehensive information. As editors we can do better, add more information, but there is no harm to project with keeping mini-stubs, like this one. --Enos733 (talk) 03:47, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Q2: If a sports figure meets the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean they do not have to meet the general notability guideline? A2: No, the article must still eventually provide sources indicating that the subject meets the general notability guideline. Although the criteria for a given sport should be chosen to be a very reliable predictor of the availability of appropriate secondary coverage from reliable sources, there can be exceptions.
- As for the sources you have provided, these are again trivial mentions (and no, being listed in ten different statistical categories without any further detail does not make these suddenly not be trivial mentions). Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and no amount of special pleading (based on an opinion which is clearly at odds with that of the wider community) can exempt an article from having to follow that. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 04:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. Replacement players were hired as scabs during the NFL strike. While most "real" NFL players will almost always pass GNG, the replacement players are a special case -- though some day curiosity about the replacements may generate SIGCOV. I did find some additional coverage. E.g., here, here, here, and here. Cbl62 (talk) 18:49, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

The other clipping (#2) would be more easily presented as a full article clipping (see here), which makes it easier to surmise that it is a feature article on high school football coach Don Anderson. The content that is presented is merely an interview of Fitzgerald, with everything he is saying being about coach Anderson. Again, I don't see that as enough to pass GNG, as interviewing past high school players of a coach who died would seem fairly standard and not be enough to establish the notability of the interviewees. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:31, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Gonzo fan2007: The "replacement" player status makes me question the overall notability. There is some marginal SIGCOV (coverage of signings may or may not be SIGCOV depending on depth -- mere announcements, "no", but maybe "yes" if there are biographical details provided as well) but not enough to convince me to fight for this article. Idaho papers are scarce on Newspapers.com, and there may be more there. I am a fence sitter for now. Cbl62 (talk) 20:36, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

- Wading back in, the goal of any article is to develop a complete picture of the subject for our audience. For many athletes (passing NSPORT) there may not be that one feature length story (or that feature length story might only exist from a local or even an high school paper). What Cbl62 has found in those clips information about a) playing on a state championship team (where I found in another source that he caught a touchdown in the state championship game), b) coverage of his signing with ISU, b) indication that he played with the Vikings for parts of three years (which we know from other sources that the subject was invited to training camp) c) that he quit playing at Idaho State d) he was drafted by ew York in the World Football league and e) that he was second-team all Big Sky Conference in his junior year. To me, this is a comprehensive set of verifiable information painting a good picture of the subject, who played in the NFL. I recognize that if the subject did not play in the NFL with this coverage, this discussion would not occur. But that is the reason why a SNG exists - it recognizes that there is some real world interest in the subject and there "probably" is coverage (even if editors have to do some digging to find it). --Enos733 (talk) 16:01, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

- I think Enos presents a fair case. It's just not enough to persuade me to keep. Catching a TD pass in the Idaho high school championship game doesn't add much for me.

- "synthesis of passing mentions" - yeah. That's what one would expect from someone making an original work.

- Comment Fair enough. I'll strike for now. Scorpions13256 (talk) 02:22, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Scorpions13256: Have you seen these two articles yet? They were not listed in the assessment table and appear significant enough to me. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- BeanieFan11, I was not aware of those articles. Notability is now much more likely. I'll avoid !voting for now though. I'm pretty tired. Scorpions13256 (talk) 03:20, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- Those weren't in the article, hence why I didn't see them. However, they are very short, telling us little, and appear to be WP:ROUTINE transactional coverage. I don't believe they meet WP:SIGCOV. BilledMammal (talk) 15:37, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- Note to closer, I do not completely agree with the source assessment table presented here. I do think that the sources from BeanieFan would be a significant source according to the GNG and the interview in the Spokesman would also meet GNG. That all said, I continue to believe that when a subject meets a prong within an SNG, in this case playing in the NFL, our evaluation of sources should err towards inclusion rather than trying to deletion. In this case, information provided by the NFL is helpful to building an article and the other articles do create a comprehensive picture of the subject and the subject's football career. That is, an SNG gives criteria for whom the community thinks is notable, and the requirement that there is sufficient sources helps ensure compliance with WP:BLP and other content policies. Fundamentally, I do not see how deletion of this subject with multiple sources helps our project (see WP:NOTPAPER). --Enos733 (talk) 16:23, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- I don't see how the sources provided "create a comprehensive picture of the subject". The only information we have about him is where and when he played/coached football. Literally absolutely nothing else. Per WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOTNEWS, if the only thing we have is routine, almost statistical, reporting like that, then this is not encyclopedic material, as it is nothing but the equivalent of "simple listings without contextual information".

- "Source assessment tables" are a tool, but they are a tool based on the opinion of the editor that created the table. Please do not give undue weight to that opinion just because it's in a "table format" and looks like "fact" -- it's an opinion. One to consider of course, but just for what it is.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:57, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think there's much place for "it's just an opinion" for most of those sources - the two which were not in the article when the table was done are maybe debatable (although very much on borderline on that too), but the rest are rather clear-cut. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:03, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- From the table: "This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor." the table itself issues the caution.

- If you disagree with the assessment presented (which IMHO is quite right), you should explain so clearly and not vaguely dismiss it as mere personal opinion. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 22:47, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Additionally, The subject passes an SNG and has coverage that moves it beyond the database referenced entry that we are trying to prevent.

- Weak Keep I am impressed with what has become of the article. WP:SIGCOV is debateable, but the fact that more sources keep coming up tell me that this subject is notable enough for a stand-alone article. Scorpions13256 (talk) 00:59, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per the expansion work done since the AfD was started. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 11:41, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. At the time of nomination, the article was a one-line microstub simply reciting that Fitzgerald played football for Minnesota and Idaho State. On February 14, after my initial comments and after all of the "delete" votes were cast, User:BeanieFan11 expanded the article substantially. It is now a decent Start-class biography with 15 sources. Two of those sources (here and here) are three paragraphs in length, providing biographical details. While such articles are at the lower end of what might be considered SIGCOV, there is no precise length requirement in SIGCOV. BilledMammal cites WP:ROUTINE as a purported reason to ignore these sources, but (a) they are not mere passing references or mere transactional notices, and (b) WP:ROUTINE on its face applies to events and not to biographies. Given that Fitzgerald did make it to the NFL (albeit as a replacement player), and given the fact that we have never previously deleted an article on a modern NFL player (Vainowski played in the 1920s), I opt to resolve the weight of the SIGCOV in Fitzgerald's favor and end up as a "weak keep" on NGRIDRIRON, GNG, and WP:IAR grounds.

- Cbl62, I wanted to respond to one specific part of your comment above. You state that two of the sources
are three paragraphs in length
, however looking at them closer, it is important to note that the first source you provided is actually 3 sentences long, just broken up into one sentence per paragraph and the second source is similar: it is four sentences broken up into 3 paragraphs. Both of those are still very clearly "Team X signed/drafted Player Y" transactional reports widely found in local newspapers and usually not enough to establish GNG. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:08, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep, Cbl62, thank you for bringing this to my attention. And BeanieFan11, nicely done expanding the article. I initially did strike my vote, but I really do think Cbl makes a solid argument above. Spf121188 (talk) 16:33, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per Cbl62's argument, frustrating to see valid sources dismissed due to WP:ROUTINE, which applies to events not biographies. NemesisAT (talk) 16:39, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:HEY. I agree that the newly added coverage generally satisfies the SIGCOV requirements, if slimly. There may be a discussion that needs to be had about the behavior of the nominator (once back from their WikiBreak), both in here and based on their user page (which says
The problem with Wikipedia? People who think that this is a sports fansite, and who think article creation is some form of competition with awards for creating more.
. I have struck my above redirect vote. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 19:03, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- I second Etzedek24's sentiment's regarding the nominator. I found it rather disturbing to see how they brushed off Spf121188's defense of BeanieFan11's good faith editing and then essentially continued to attack BeanieFan11's editing. GPL93 (talk) 20:02, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I stand by my delete vote. Right now there are 15 sources in the article: 3 are straight databases (NFL, Pro Football Ref, Pro Football Archives), 2 are lists of statistics (ISU Bengals and ISSUU.com media guide), 1 is a student newspaper that only mentions Fitzgerald once in a full page article (Montana.edu), 2 are feature articles on other people with quotes from Fitzgerald, not about him (Twincities.com and Spokeman.com), 1 is a standard game report that only mentions Fitzgerald returned a punt for a TD (UPI.com) and the remaining 6 are clippings from Newspapers.com, each of which merely notes Fitzgerald signed with a team, was drafted by a team or is currently on a team. I just don't see it. I commend everyone here for pulling together an article from such scant sources, and I understand that this comes down more to a fundamental difference on how these bios should be treated. This article unfortunately is a microcosm of the larger debate. But looking past this larger discussion and just at this article, I just don't see it. If there is even one feature story that covered Fitzgerald, I will be the first to switch my vote. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:08, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- I hear you and I end up a "weak keep", but you're giving short shrift to this and this which do not, as you claim, "merely note" that he was signed or drafted.
- The Times-News piece includes the following biographical facts: (1) JF was selected by NY in the WLAF draft; (2) JF played two seasons for Idaho State in the mid-1980s; (3) JF was picked early in the fifth round with the 42nd overall pick; (4) JF was a "star" at Idaho State playing defensive back and returning kicks; and (5) JF received second-team honors on the all-Big Sky team as a junior.
- The Spokesman-Review piece includes the following: (1) JF was a star at Gonzaga Prep; (2) JF signed a new 1988 NFL contract with the Minnesota Vikings; (3) JF was signed by the Vikings as an undrafted free agent during the prior year's players strike; (4) JF was released after the regulars came back to work; (5) JF hoped to play as a free safety, punt returner or on special teams; (6) JF played three seasons at Idaho State; and (7) JF quit in a dispute with Coach Jim Koetter before the 1986 season. Cbl62 (talk) 21:51, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Cbl62, I see where you are coming from. Again, I think this comes more from a fundamental disagreement of what significant coverage means in the realm of these types of bios. I slightly dismiss both of those sources due to the type of article they are. Looking broader at each newspaper page, each one of those articles are news briefs, or brief staff reports usually focused on local items of interest. For me, these fall below significant coverage. As you note, they are definitely great for capturing biographical details, but when used as the primary means of stating a topic is notable, they just don't do it for me. Again, if you showed me one feature story on this topic, I would throw in my support for keeping this article. But from what I see right now, it appears that the article is pieced together from brief mentions here and there. Nothing significant, with the coverage being minimal, at best. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 01:43, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- I understand and respect your position. This one was a close call, and I also respect and value the rescue effort undertaken by BeanieFan. Cbl62 (talk) 01:58, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- Cbl62, the respect is mutual. Keep up the good work :) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 02:20, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- I hear you and I end up a "weak keep", but you're giving short shrift to this and this which do not, as you claim, "merely note" that he was signed or drafted.
- Keep. Meets WP:NGRIDIRON and WP:GNG, per the sourcing and improvements to the article since this AfD was opened. Ejgreen77 (talk) 22:15, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per Gonzo_fan2007. In short, I don't think any of the sources I can find constitute "significant coverage" of the subject as its defined at WP:SIGCOV or how it seems to typically be understood around here. The most substantial coverage is the two newspaper clippings Cbl62 posts just above, one in a section of a column titled "Briefly" and the other in a section titled "Local Briefs". These seem like the absolute minimum amount of coverage a subject can receive beyond a directory listing. To me, that's just not enough to be "significant".

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The article has been significantly expanded since the start of the discussion and additional sources have been brought forward after several users cast their !votes. Additional discussion on whether those sources contribute towards WP:NBASIC/WP:GNG would be helpful in discerning a community consensus.

- Keep A difficult call, but there's enough to build an encyclopedic article out of the WP:THREE best sources Times-News, Spokesman Review, and Pioneer Press with the other sources filling out details. Meets WP:GNG, albeit barely. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:16, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Of the three you give, the first one is plainly a trivial mention and the last one is clearly about another person and the vast majority of the information about Fitzgerald is directly from Fitzgerald (who is not even the main focus). That leaves only those which are at the absolute very best marginal (given their routine nature). RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 15:22, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reply Sorry, I linked the wrong Times-News article (meant to link this one which has a little more biographical information). I don't know if this will move the needle at all for you, but if a non stub article can be written about a subject that meets an SNG (supported by reliable sources) then I'm for preserving it when possible.

- Strong keep The 2nd sentence of the opening of WP:NSPORT very clearly states "The article should provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline or the sport specific criteria set forth below." That "or" is the key. Reading through comments it seems multiple editors are treating the "or" like it says "and". Per WP:NGRIDIRON "Have appeared in at least one regular season or post-season game in any one of the following professional leagues: the Canadian Football League, the National Football League, the 1960s American Football League, the All-America Football Conference, the United States Football League." Per his Pro football reference page he played two games in the NFL in 1987. So we have a reliable source saying he played two games so per everything I've mentioned, it's clear the article should be kept. However, there's no evidence he played in 1988 or 1989 so that part does need to be fixed.--Rockchalk717 23:24, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- This is an excellent point. The main page of NSPORTS is clear. The fact that it seems to contradict itself between its lead and the Q2 of the FAQ is a conversation for the sports notability page. What's clear here is that reliable sources prove that the subject meets the SNG. Otherwise, if everything must meet GNG eventually, why even have SNGs?

- Strong keep per WP:HEY and the subject passing both the SNG of WP:NGRIDIRON and also WP:GNG after the great expansion work by BeanieFan11 which is very commendable. I can only hope that other editors can see his editing and model their own to work on expanding articles and adding, rather than trying to tear down systematically. --SuperJew (talk) 00:59, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment As mentioned above quite a few times (and this is not the only place I've seen this recently), the nominator RandomCanadian seems to be WP:BADGERing any users not voting or commenting in the way he'd like, as well as reverting expansion edits by BeanieFan11 using rollback/counter-vandalism tools. I'm not familiar enough with this process, but might this require some admin intervention? --SuperJew (talk) 00:59, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

The individual seems to be non-notable. The six sources in the article each appear to be paid, to come from unreliable sources, or to be primary-source interviews--none of which contribute towards meeting WP:NBASIC.
- AccessWire is a public relations wire service.
- Face2Face Africa is owned by a marketing firm.
- "Disruptors Magazine" seems to be a contributors blog, a-la-WP:FORBESCON, though potentially with more paid content.
- LA Progressive is a political group blog, and the post is marked at the bottom as sponsored content.
- Khaleej Times is an unbylined extremely primary source interview.
- This is 50 seems to be written by
Hardcore Flava
, which appears to be a fake name.
Trolling through google, I found a labeled opinion piece (looks like a Forbes Contributor-style situation) in Entrepreneur that isn't written by a journalist. I also found a piece by "The Daily Front Row" that is both unbylined and an extremely primary source interview.
The current status of the page is that it is a stub that comes off as extremely advertorial--half of the two sentences are dedicated to labeling her as being among the top female producers in her industry
without any real support from RS, while the infobox "occupation" field feels like I am reading part of a LinkedIn page.
For the reason that Marion fails WP:BASIC and all other notability criteria for living people, I suggest that we delete this article. — Mhawk10 (talk) 07:33, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Topic is not notable enough for a standalone article (note: proper titling for this article would be Mikos in anime and manga). The situation is comparable to other anime/manga stock character types that also exist in real life, like idols, maids, otaku, etc. The appearance of miko in popular media is worth a mention at the miko article, but nothing more. — Goszei (talk) 07:09, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Merge into miko and delete per nom. Contents that does not overlap with the main topic should be summarized into a section, probably named "In popular culture". NasssaNser - T 10:20, 17 February 2022 (UTC)- Comment A large amount of text are unsourced. The section "Works in which miko appear" constitute a simple listing and should not be kept. NasssaNser - T 10:52, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
Merge (selectively) to Miko. Sections that are supported by sources can be added to a "In popular culture" section in the main article. This is not an independently notable topic. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:22, 17 February 2022 (UTC)- Delete per below. Sources in the article are either redundant with the main article or not reliable. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 18:30, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - Not only is this a needless WP:SPINOUT article from the main topic, but I'm not actually seeing anything worth merging, since the bulk of information is entirely unsourced and likely WP:OR. The only actual real sources here are being used for the first sentence, which merely describe what a Miko is in real life, and is copied verbatim from the first sentence of the main Miko article. The remaining parts of the article are either unsourced, or use completely ineligible sources like "some anonymous forums". As there is no content that should be merged, and I don't find this to be a particularly likely search term for a Redirect, deletion seems the most appropriate option here. Rorshacma (talk) 16:59, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete I don't see how this can be cleaned up. If there's any reliably sourced information within this article at all, then I'd support the merge - but the only 3 sources consist of: Groemer, 28.; Aston, 101; and North-China herald, 571, which are vague references at best - ones I haven't the faintest idea how to access, much less verify (google produces no results, and just a last name/series of words and a number isn't much to go off of). I have no confidence in any of this information meeting guidelines. I do feel for the editor, but this was just a bad article to pick to translate - the original JP Wikipedia article has 0 references, just those 3 explanatory notes, reinforcing the appearance of WP:OR. Canadianerk (talk) 00:55, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete -- Seeing Canadianerk's comment, I conclude that this article is likely WP:OR with no contents worth keeping. NasssaNser - T 01:42, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Canadianerk nailed it on the head. This article is poorly sourced, and the sources that are there are a last name and a page number, making it nearly impossible to find out if the source is reliable, verify the information, check depth of coverage, etc. While there are many articles related to anime and manga that need translation from the Japanese Wikipedia (see the request pages), this isn't one. Link20XX (talk) 05:47, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

"In 2020 he was awarded the Grand Decoration of Honour for Services to the Republic of Austria. In 2021 he was made a Commander's Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit."
. Probably the most ridiculous AfD nomination I have seen in over 18 years on Wikipedia. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:01, 3 February 2022 (UTC)- You probably haven’t looked at many AfD nominations, then. I suppose your argument is that those awards satisfy WP:ANYBIO, but I rather doubt it. (I have not evaluated sources for other claims to notability - you would expect a CEO of Siemens Hungary to have some press coverage.)
- The Hungarian order of Merit (Magyar Érdemrend) comes in many grades. From [that source], I found [24]
Dale A. Martin a Magyar Érdemrend középkeresztjének polgári tagozatának kitüntetését veheti majd át személyesen a koronavírus elmúltával
, which machine translations have a hard time with but I assume theközépkeresztjének
part is translated by "commander’s cross" in the English article. There is an hu-wp article about recipents at that level which shows 20 to 40 recipients per year. That is hardly awell-known and significant award or honor
- see for instance that MILHIST discussion which argued that only the highest grades should be counted. Even without grade considerations, that site seems to indicate that the order of merit is not the highest civilian distinction in Hungary. - For the Austrian one (Decoration of Honour for Services to the Republic of Austria), the sourcing is not great but I found that facebook post from an official source. The transcript says
Am 23. Juli 2020 erhielt Dale András Martin, CEO von Siemens Ungarn, das große Ehrenzeichen für Verdienste um die Republik Österreich (...)
, which refers to the 8th rank of the decoration ("Grand Decoration of Honour" in the English article). From the de-wp article, one can find a handy list of all recipients (in 2012), ctrl-F for "Großes Ehrenzeichen" returns more than a thousand hits. So, not all that selective either. TigraanClick here for my talk page ("private" contact) 14:50, 4 February 2022 (UTC) - reply Come on, Andy, dial back the over-the-top rhetoric here. These awards are handed out to lubricate the social machinery by flattering business and political types. The guy's a senior honcho in a local branch of a major multinational, they want to reward him for some business deals, so they give him a low-level gong to hang on his dress suit. (I seem to recall a medal The Saint wore, which he demurely said he'd been awarded for rescuing a Greek royalist's laundry from the dry cleaners.) --Orange Mike | Talk 12:30, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep, having an upcoming IPO doesn't necessarily make a company is notable, they need to pass WP:NCORP which this does seem to. For instance, Regional Language Television in India: Profiles and Perspectives dedicates an entire page to it. The SAGE published journal article The Indian news media industry: Structural trends and journalistic implications makes somewhat extensive references to it and indicates that it was the parent company of Asianet Star Communications and Asianet News Network before its restructuring and breakup between three seperate parties, so a lot of older publications refer to it as simply "Asianet".

Fails WP:GNG. Brief search for significant coverage mainly turns up various tabloids. Russian sources cited are state-owned (AiF.ru is owned by the city of Moscow), and as such are not independent in criminal matters.

- Keep - I disagree that Lenta.ru and Gazeta.ru are unreliable for this specific case, because it does not have any specific political aspect to it that would necessarily make them unreliable based on being owned ultimately by state-owned Sberbank. Looking for other coverage I see that it the case was covered in the Ukrainian media, in multiple sources. The non-tabloid, state-owned outlets Vesti.ru and RIA-Novosti also covered the story. Since this is a purely domestic, criminal story, there is no reason to believe that these sources will be unreliable on this topic. We should always keep in mind that different sources are reliable for different things - I would not rely on any of these sources for information about Russia's aggression in Ukraine, but for a simple criminal story I see no reason not to. Even without this, the Ukrainian coverage (one of Zhukova's victims was Ukrainian) shows notability by itself. FOARP (talk) 14:10, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. because clearly there's still no broad consensus on the distinction between NSPORT and GNG and we can't keep doing this AfD by AfD. I don't think another week is going to bring us any closer to consensus where we're hampered by both accessibility and language. Star Mississippi 17:39, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Delete non-medalists do not meet our inclusion criteria, and there is no indication of sourcing that meets GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:17, 2 February 2022 (UTC)- @Johnpacklambert: Note that while he didn't medal in the 1924 Olympics, he did medal in 1928 - although of course that isn't sufficient to keep in the absence of significant coverage. BilledMammal (talk) 15:02, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete although he did get a medal in 1928, we need actual sources passing GNG to justify keeping articles, and we do not have that here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:03, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. While still cleaning up the last-place finishers and non-finishers of the Olympics, who can be said not to have achieved anything, it's pretty extreme to suddenly start sweeping over the Olympic medalists in the same go. This counteracts the centralized discussion, because the presumption of notability is exceedingly stronger. Granted, GNG is ultimately the core policy but the above challenge that GNG can't be met here is unconvincing. PS. You don't need to ping me to reiterate that you failed to find sources. Geschichte (talk) 11:20, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- So in fact you admit that we have no sources that fit our inclusion criteria at all, but still want to keep it without sources. What sources have you found that meet GNG?

- Comment - digitised Danish newspapers are freely available after 100 years, so up to 1922. After that, access is apparently restricted to academic researchers located in Denmark: see here, here and here. So accessing coverage for 1924 and 1928 would not be straightforward. Ingratis (talk) 05:13, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Ingratis What is the coverage of pre-1922 Olympic medallists in Danish newspapers? JoelleJay (talk) 23:30, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know. Ingratis (talk) 23:55, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- I think if the presumption of notability rests on the presumption that Danish newspapers gave SIGCOV to Danish Olympic sailors, the latter ought to be demonstrated first. Otherwise we'd be stuck holding on to a microstub for another 2 to 6 years until sources are available that may not even have sufficient coverage for GNG anyway. JoelleJay (talk) 00:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- It's equally a presumption that there is no information, whatever earlier newspapers may or may not contain. There is NO time limit and Wikipedia is NOT pressed for space - I see no problem in waiting, especially since this is not just an Olympic competitor but an Olympic medallist, and not in a team event either. Ingratis (talk) 04:45, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Sailing at the 1928 Summer Olympics – 6 Metre was a team event - he was one of three crewmembers, in addition to the helmsman. And while there is WP:NODEADLINE, there is also no deadline for us to have a deadline - would you be willing to compromise on a soft-deletion (turn into a redirect), and if sources are found in six years time when 1928 is publicly available the article can be easily restored? BilledMammal (talk) 04:50, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- My mistake re team! Because this is a medal winner, whether in a very small team or on his own, as I wrote below I would rather keep until it's possible to search more meaningfully for sources, which are likely, if they exist, to be in contemporary Danish newspapers, although not excluding the possibility of others. Until such a search can be made the presumption of notability remains, and as Geschichte has already said, it's a very strong presumption for a medal winner. I agree that even in 2028, should we reach it, there is no fixed deadline for such a search. Redirecting rather than deletion is surely in any case the default for Olympic stubs. Ingratis (talk) 06:46, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- There has never been a proper determination of whether Olympic medallists in particular sports in particular eras receive the requisite coverage in their home countries to meet GNG. It has always been presumed based on the amount of coverage they get now. Because this presumption has not been validated, and because NSPORT says if an SNG but not GNG is met
For subjects in the past where it is more difficult to locate sources, it may be necessary to evaluate the subject's likely notability based on other persons of the same time period with similar characteristics
, the onus is on keep !voters to demonstrate why there isvery strong reason to believe
SIGCOV exists in these Danish newspapers. It is not enough to assert WP:SOURCESMUSTEXIST. JoelleJay (talk) 21:51, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect, to Sailing at the 1928 Summer Olympics – 6 Metre, if this article is not kept - WP:ATD. But given the time restriction on Danish sources above, I think it should be kept until they have become available. I have to say, echoing Geschichte, that I'm surprised (and not in a good way) to see an article on an Olympic medallist nominated for deletion. Clearly there was no real point whatsoever to the interminable NOLY RfC. Ingratis (talk) 05:13, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep, per winning a medal at the Olympics, meets NOLY. And I'm sure he would probably meet GNG as well if we were able to access Danish newspapers from the period he competed in. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:58, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

The first reference for this article contains only a trivial mention of the article's subject. The second reference is to a dead link. The third reference is an interview which WP:INTERVIEW indicates can be added to an article that otherwise has lots of substantial references in it. The third reference looks like a press release for a new single, and the last reference is a brief discussion of that same single that mentions that the subject is "featured" on the song, which is sung by another party. The only one of these sources that includes any in-depth discussion of the subject is the interview, and that alone doesn't make a case for notability. A Google News search shows scanty results, mostly from websites making announcements about musical releases, none of them discussing the subject in depth. Given this, and without some more substantive in-depth discussion of the subject in reliable, published, verifiable, secondary sources, I am not sure we can retain this one.

The result was no consensus. Ok, first of all, this AfD is a giant mess. Between the inappropriate off-site canvassing attracting a horde of SPA votes, and major changes having been made to the article in the midst of the AfD, it is nearly impossible to find a consensus here. There is disagreement on whether or not the software is notable, but I can't find a clear consensus one way or another. The keep voters have shown that there are books written about how to use Zabbix, which at least provides a presumption of notability per WP:NSOFT. Additionally, there seemed to be clear agreement that the state of the article at the time of nomination was bad enough to delete it in the spirit of WP:TNT, however the article has already been practically rewritten during the course of the AfD, so deleting it with the intention of rewriting it would seem pointless now.
My advice would be to continue the current efforts to improve the article, and reassess in a month or two. If there are still notability concerns after reasonable efforts to improve the article, then bring it back to AfD and hopefully have a fresh discussion that is not tainted by canvassing. I would also swiftly apply a trout to riffic and strongly encourage them to read WP:CANVAS again to ensure that they are fully familiar with guidelines surrounding canvassing. —ScottyWong— 20:45, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

- @Sin2x: All based on customer voting and comments. Do you have also reliable sources that state that? Dirk Beetstra T C 04:04, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Beetstra: What kind of reliable sources? It's an open-source monitoring system, how exactly are you going to assess its usage and popularity if not from customer experience? Even GitHub has more stars for Zabbix than Nagios:
- You, on the other hand, have not yet stated your reasons for proposed deletion based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion Please do.
- ----
- With regards to notability: On one of Kaspersky pages they write "This monitors and sends extensive information about the SVM's health status to third-party SNMP monitoring tools like Zabbix and Nagios.". So when this well known security company set out to give examples of monitoring software that can be used together with their offerings, Zabbix is one of two concrete examples they give.
- And how popular are each of those? Looking at job offering in England, in the same order of magnitude:

- Comment to @Riffic and Hlovdal: Combining remarks because you are answering in confusing threading. Github is not a reliable source for being notable, that Kaspersky writes that it can send out data, e.g. to SNMP monitoring tools like Zabbix does not make it notable, it is just a fleeting mention. This article is not showing any of this, all I see, and find on Google in its top 20 results, is self serving promotional stuff. Then I look at the history and I see massive IP editing with the first/major IP I check being a Zabbix IP. You give me a link to a list of books about Zabbix, the first two written by Patrick Uytterhoeven, the second by Luciano Alves … who both work for Zabbix. Again not independent. So yes, I looked WP:BEFORE, and all I see is self promotion, self-published, WP:COI (or better: editing in blatant violation of m:Terms of Use), and in line with that efficient SEO. Are there any sources that are reliable and independent of the source? --Dirk Beetstra T C 04:08, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- The situation with Nagios is just marginally better in terms of sourcing (and also there I have troubles finding independent sources), the prose is similarly advertising and self serving, and also there editors were editing in violation of m:Terms of Use.

- Please pay heed to this essay on the notability of software, "Before nominating an unsourced article for deletion, be sure to verify that it is non-notable, not just missing citations. One way to do this is to perform a Google books, Google news, or Google scholar search for the app in question if relevant. Simply stating "non notable" and "unreferenced" is not a valid rationale for deletion" (WP:NSOFT), this is 20 year old software with a large userbase, and many written and audiovisual works documenting its notability in the industry, ranging from books, youtube videos, conference talks, white papers, installation tutorials, et cetera. The burden of proof on showing non-notability falls upon you, and you have just not done that. riffic (talk) 18:42, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep Both Patrik and Luciano (Edit: I mistaked Luciano, he does work for them now) do not work for Zabbix SIA, Zabbix LLC or any other Zabbix subsidiaries. I as well do not work for Zabbix directly, but I do work for a Zabbix partner. I am one of the authors of the Zabbix 5 and upcoming Zabbix 6 cookbook, which we fully write in our free/spare time. We supply these books to the community, because it is important that the product has these community resources available. We are talking about a 100% free and Opensource product, where the purchase of any support, consultancy or training is fully optional, thus community resources like books, blogs, Reddit and even Wikipedia are important. It all supplies any community users with a place to find information about the product. Most resources you will find are written and/or supplied by the Zabbix community. Definitely not a good thing to remove the Wiki page, and even if this was paid software like PRTG or Datadog there are Wikipedia pages. Deletion seems completely unjustified. As well, maybe this helps as an independent resource of popularity: Google trends Larcorba 07:54, 20 February 2022 (UTC) — Larcorba (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Helpful? You doubled the number of references that solely rely on the subject's own words from 22 to 44, and not supplied a single truly independent source. Let alone an independent reliable source.
As per below for user:5GZPPwkICWU, may I know how you arrived at this AfD at your very first edit? Dirk Beetstra T C 11:20, 20 February 2022 (UTC)- All claims added by Users or the Zabbix team that were either vague, unjustifiable or simply not true have been removed from the article. On top of that, quoting sources like the official documentation of a product is definitely a reliable source, especially in the Opensource software community. As well, I included a new section including community resources to guide the community to resources there. @Beetstra: As of now, I think you are finding yourself with no other people to back up your claim as to why this page would still need removal.

As per the Wikipedia community guidelines we would need an independent third party to review, otherwise the discussion will simply be closed after 7 days and the page will remain as is.

- @Larcorba: They are reliable to a certain extend indeed. They are however not independent, and that is needed for showing notability. The article is still completely self-serving. The discussion will stay open for another 6 days, and this is not a vote, it is a discussion. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:57, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- All claims added by Users or the Zabbix team that were either vague, unjustifiable or simply not true have been removed from the article. On top of that, quoting sources like the official documentation of a product is definitely a reliable source, especially in the Opensource software community. As well, I included a new section including community resources to guide the community to resources there. @Beetstra: As of now, I think you are finding yourself with no other people to back up your claim as to why this page would still need removal.

- Disclosure - I admit I shared this AfD to the /r/Zabbix subreddit (referring to the off-site canvassing notice at the top). I had no intentions of "canvassing" and have modified my statement on Reddit stating that deletion discussions are not votes. I have read WP:CAN and will follow this as closely as appropriate. Please don't template my talk page. riffic (talk) 21:10, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- I have no horse to race on this AFD but if you read WP:CAN surely you have read about WP:INAPPNOTE. It is clearly stated that vote stacking, that is defined by Posting messages to users selected based on their known opinions (which may be made known by a userbox, user category, or prior statement) is not allowed. Your posting in the subreddit that is clearly supporting Zabbix clearly show this intent. WP:STEALTH also stated that the use of email or other off-wiki communication to notify editors is discouraged. I will not bring into attention the tone you are using in the Reddit as it is outside the scope of Wikipedia, but in my opinion you are not adhering to the WP:AGF when defending this article to be kept. SunDawntalk 07:52, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- I'll be more careful down the road about off-site notifications and keeping a neutral tone. I sincerely hope that I did not tank the merits of this own discussion with my actions, however I still stand that the 5 Google book citations are way more than adequate to establish notability from independent and reliable sources. IMO this should be a withdrawn AfD. It'd be nice to have the nominator admit and act accordingly. riffic (talk) 18:04, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

- @Beetstra: And how can the information be 100% independent, not biased be for you? Any article written be it on the internet be it in a book is always biased in some way as the author will have a certain view about the product and so his own opinion be it correct or wrong. btw I am Patrik the author of the 2 Zabbix books. I have no connection with Zabbix LLC. The company I work for is Open-Future a Zabbix partner yes but we don't get money from Zabbix..... . But the books have been written in my own free time. How more independent do you want it?
- Do you want a book from someone who has never worked with Zabbix? There is nothing wrong with the article all information on it is correct. The style how it was written was maybe a bit of self promoting but it's wikipedia ... adapt it or ask ppl to change the style.
- Deleting this article imho is worse. You don't erase an article about the holocaust because it was written by a yew or a nazi. That's just erasing valuable information. You just ask an independent person to verify it and correct it if it needs corrections. It's not because its written by someone who uses the product that the information if false or misleading. If you google there is more then enough information to confirm what has been written on this page. --Trikke76 (talk) 07:35, 21 February 2022 (UTC) — Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Trikke76 (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion.
- @Trikke76: I have not asked for unbiased references, I asked for independent and reliable sources. The article as it stood when I saw it had absolutely zero independent sources. The problem is that for every single reference in the version at that time (and also in the version where the number of references was doubled from 22 to 44!) were showing a connection. My first search for references showed the same, all documentation on zabbix.com, (zabbix) blogs, and books (The book I looked at was written by you and Rihards Olups, where the biography of Rihards states "He started using Zabbix in 2001, and joined Zabbix company later. Rihards spent 6 years at Zabbix",[25], the last edition of the book was of 2019; the other book was by Luciano Alves, listed on zabbix.com as Zabbix Brazil CEO.[26] Yes, maybe the books were written at a time that they did not get compensation from Zabbix (yet/anymore), but there is still a connection and for connection it does not mean that you need to get direct financial compensation for it anyway). Zero reliable sources without connection to the Zabbix. Then I go to the article and I see that there is rather heavy editing by an IP that is allocated to Zabbix, a username that seems to show connection to Zabbix, IPs that are from the same geographical area, and users who only edited Zabbix and Zabbix related text, and where the text is totally self-serving, nearing to plain advertising.
- And note, I am not asking that the article only needs to have independent sourcing and that we need to get rid of all primary sourcing - there is nothing wrong with primary sources, but for an article to exist on Wikipedia it also needs independent sources. Primary sources alone do not show notability. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Beetstra:Seems like we have fixed your independent resources issue though, supplying enough references to verify Zabbix as a notable piece of software and a addition to the information on Wikipedia instead of a promotional (your words not mine) page. Seems to me that the discussion can be ended right here or you should provide some constructive pieces of 'let's call it advice' as to how we could further improve the article. Larcorba 09:18, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- I added the Template:Primary_sources template to the page because that is the correct level of reaction to its content. Deleting is a massive overreaction. Hlovdal (talk) 19:34, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete or Draftify. Even if the topic turns out to be notable this article is a trainwreck that does not belong in mainspace. I checked one of the new citations, the 'Cloud Computing Bible' because it was easily accessible to me. It seems the only reference is a mention in a table containing a long list of software projects. Adding books that contain only trivial coverage is not helping the case to keep this article, nor is filling this discussion with comments that are ungrounded in Wikipedia policy. Please present the three best sources, that are fully independent, reliably published, and in depth if you folks would like this process to end in a keep. - MrOllie (talk) 02:22, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- @MrOllie: The 'trainwreck' definition was also what came to mind for me. As I described above I did go through the history, and have considered to revert to the first version and try to keep out COI/promotional edits. But then, google did not really help to give significant independent reliable sources either (possibly influenced by SEO in line with the promotional editing here). Do we really want to get this trainwreck back on the rails? Dirk Beetstra T C 06:34, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- WP:TNT would also be a good option. MrOllie (talk) 14:49, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- @MrOllie: So you check out one of 5 sources of which the others mention a greater detailed description of the product and still write it off? I'd suggest you do a full analysis or do not add on to the discussion. Because sources like this one go way more in depth: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Sarbanes_Oxley_IT_Compliance_Using_Open/5_pbDhDdxLAC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Zabbix%20monitoring&pg=PA357&printsec=frontcover Larcorba 11:39, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

- I feel like we've already satisfied WP:THREE; we've certainly satisfied WP:NSOFTWARE at this point. The defined inclusion criteria are covered (third and fourth points are what we're discussing here.) Here are three (all of these assert notability and are beyond trivial mentions, they are independent to Zabbix LLC or its partners and also satisfy WP:NSOFTWARE):

- Monitoring Docker, Russ McKendrick, Packt Publishing, December 2015. Chapter 4 is an in-depth guide on using Zabbix and I'll quote, "Out of the these three options, Zabbix seemed to be the most straightforward one at the time. It was doing enough work to manage the several hundred servers I was going to monitor without having to have the extra work of learning the complexities of setting up Nagios or Zenoss; after all, given the task the software had, I needed to be able to trust that I had set it up correctly. In this chapter, while I am going to go into some detail about the setup and the basics of using Zabbix, we will only be touching on some of the functionalities, which can do a lot more than just monitor your containers."

To speak a bit towards the calls to WP:TNT the article, that'd be fine as long as an immediate rewrite with the found references asserting notability were to be added. However, let me quote from WP:TNTTNT, "If the article could be reverted to any past version, then deletion is not valid." There already has been a call by the nominator to revert to the first version. Nothing's stopping anyone from doing this now and calling this AfD off. riffic (talk) 16:54, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- I created Zabbix#Security_vulnerabilities to add more critical parts of the software to counterweight the bias. Discussion about the changes itself please on the talk page. I agree that the article is mostly promotional and should be improved. Although I disagree with User:Beetstra RfD process since Zabbix is a cornerstone of IT landscape and in use for decades, I agree with the reasoning he was presenting so far. I would keep the pressure on Zabbix LLC to improve the article by themselves. The sources exist to keep this article alive but the work has to be done and should be done by Zabbix LLC. GavriilaDmitriev (talk) 02:27, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- No, no editing by Zabbix LLC. That is part of the problem in the first place: this article is a, as MrOllie describes it, trainwreck because of the many promotional edits. This article needs a proper overhaul by subjects who do not have an agenda to push, and certainly not by editors who have a conflict of interest (let alone those who are editing in violation of the Terms of Use.
Counterweighting the bias is not solving the problem of the article, and I do not think that notices of secrity vulnerabilities are enough to show notability, nor do mentions in blogs. The mainstream references mentioned above are better (though some are rather thin, more mentions and/or popularity vote counting which can be influenced). Dirk Beetstra T C 06:29, 23 February 2022 (UTC) - @GavriilaDmitriev: Nice to see that addition, nice going! @Beetstra: So, what's your exact problem still with the page? The promotional stuff is gone, sources have been fixed, additional independent sources are added. Where's your constructive feedback? On a related note, if Zabbix makes edits that are fair and add to the value in an independent way I don't see why they couldn't. As long as they stay neutral in their edits. Larcorba 11:39, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Larcorba: '... as long as they stay neutral in their edits ...' - the article was a promotional piece, they did not stay neutral. And in the way they did it it is in direct violation of Mediawikis Terms of Use. So there is clearly a reason why they couldn't.

- Regarding the article, I beg to differ. It is still a self serving piece of material, a trainwreck. It does not in any form comply with the standards that we have for articles.
- Dirk Beetstra T C 12:14, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Beetstra: Okay, sorry I should rephrase as long as they stay neutral in their edits of the page in the future. I agree it was promontional and self serving, I do not agree it is self-serving any longer, at least not more than the PRTG, Nagios or Datadog pages are. I'm still waiting on constructive feedback from your side.. What exact part is not up to your Wikipedia standards, we've been making the edits you suggested and all you can say is that it's not good enough without providing reason. We can't change anything based on your feedback, thus it is a NULL argument and cannot be used as a reason for deletion.Larcorba 12:55, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Larcorba: "... not more than the PRTG, Nagios or Datadog pages are' . I pointed above to WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, that other pages do the same is not a reason for this page to do it as well (and I already said that the Nagios pages was only marginally better). The only thing that means is that maybe PRTG, Nagios and Datadog also need a massive overhaul (if they are worth rescueing in the first place). What is not appropriate, the massive number of primary references in comparison to independent secondary sources. Marginal secondary sourcing (and books are not secondary sourcing, they are not evidence of notability). Tone of language, non-encyclopedic information. Promotional text. Inappropriate use of linking (you basically reinserted things I removed as spam). An indiscriminate list of features. It is a mess and it has only become more of a mess since the start of this AfD. Dirk Beetstra T C 13:06, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- @user:rsjaffe can I get a reason why my addition was deleted in this change together with content from other editors? You mentioned cruft where I clearly don't belong to since I made a critical claim in my addition. GavriilaDmitriev (talk) 09:58, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete First, there are major violations of WP:COI and WP:PAID, so WP:TNT should apply. Second, in all the rambling above and all the sources added, there is still no indication of notability. As best I can tell there is one independent source used. The rest are primary or connected sources that do not contribute to notability. If someone can show WP:THREE independent secondary sources, I would reconsider but absent that, it should be deleted.Slywriter (talk) 15:24, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Slywriter: Now that WP:THREE is something constructive I can work with, thanks for that. Let me gather (at least) three notable resources and get back to you on that one. Once I have some personal free time, I'll take another look (probably this weekend) and place them in this thread.--Larcorba (talk) 16:07, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete I have used zabbix at work before, it is something most sys admin types know about. It is infamous, and notable. This article is completely useless at summarizing the topic, and I can see why non sys admins would read this and think it wasn't notable. wp:tnt is required to fix the article. 2600:1700:12B0:300F:DD16:4DE8:C344:67CE (talk) 16:47, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

- zabbix should have a Wikipedia article, I just don't think it is this one. The authors seem confused about the purpose of Wikipedia. The article should discuss why zabbix is notable and what it is. Instead, it reads like a ambiguous feature list. Software that isn't notable also has features. This article is pointless and you know more about zabbix by reading the Nagios article. 2600:1700:12B0:300F:DD16:4DE8:C344:67CE (talk) 17:15, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- At any point any of us can wipe away the page to its very first revision and start from scratch with adding just the independent, reliable sources found via this AFD process.

- Against draftify If the revised article can't be rescued in these few days allocated to the AfD discussion, I think that means that it is too far gone and needs to be wiped clean and restarted. I did a major WP:TNT job on the article, but if that isn't enough, wipe it clean and start over. Draftification would just prolong the pain if it is too flawed in its current state to be rescued in a few days. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:00, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Since it just covers the college in passing. Outside of that everything else is primary, or basic school listings. As far as WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, the outcome of the RfC in 2017 is clear that arguments based on it should be avoided in deletion discussions. In the meantime the fact that all the other colleges have articles is WP:OTHERSTUFF and should probably also not factor into this.

The article reads in its entirety "The Chiesa Vetero-Cattolica Italiana ("Italian Old-Catholic Church") is an Old Catholic churches in Italy", referenced to a link to the group's website. After two weeks of AfD, nobody has found and added any secondary sources. The article therefore clearly fails WP:V, which rules out the merger proposed by some.

This alleged organisation has almost no secondary RS to support its existence, and none has been added in the 15 years of existence of the Wikipedia article.
The article claims without any source that this groups has been existing for more than two centuries, which seems false to me as in this case there would be many secondary RSs discussing this denomination; however, only one such RS mentions unreliable source discusses this group, the Enciclopedia delle religioni in Italia (Centro studi sulle nuove religioni, 2001, which is considered unreliable) which states (p. 49) the 2-century existence of the organisaton is a claim and not a fact. I found no other RS on Google Books and on Google Scholar which even mention this organisation, and found respectively two and one mention(s) in total of this organisation on those databases, including the one in the Enciclopedia delle religioni in Italia.
This organisation clearly does not meet WP:NCHURCH, being discussed in only one RS. "A single significant independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization" (Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Multiple sources).

Merge to Old Catholic ChurchMerge and redirect to Old Catholic Church in Italy This is a translation of the same article in the Italian Wikipedia, which also lacks reliable sources (as is their wont).The English translation of the title is "Old Catholic Church". The article on Old Catholic Church does not have much on Italy, so it makes sense that someone thought the Italian aspect of this history was worth noting.I did find articles in G-scholar searching on "chiesa vetero-cattolica" on this general topic, some of which were clearly about Italy. Ditto G-books. Books in English on the topic may have information about the Italian movement, e.g. this book which has 34 mentions of Italy. I also found one online site, Bottegadinazareth, a religious publication probably not entirely independent. The name varies in these texts, sometimes being in the plural form, which makes it hard to search on.So it's a real thing with a real theological history, some of which takes place in Italy. I'm willing to do a first pass at merge if someone will remind me.Lamona (talk) 22:29, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Lamona: I fail to understand you argument (you are perhaps proposing a WP:RLOTE). If you search for the Italian translation of "Old Catholic Church", then you will indeed find sources discussion the Old Catholic movement. You can do that with any language. The article is not about the Old Catholic movement in Italy, but about an alleged specific groups of Old Catholics in Italy. The question is: which sources discuss this particular group, whose website is https://www.chiesaveterocattolica.it ? Veverve (talk) 17:41, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- merge -- This is a denomination, though probably a small one, rather than a mere local church. It should probably be called Old Catholic Church in Italy. I find that such an article already exists, so that this sohould probably be merged there. I am not clear if both articles relate to the same denomination; if not, they can still be accommodated within one article. The external links cite three Anglican sources. These will be external to the denomination. Why are these not RS? I am reluctant to support a merge to Old Catholic Church, because that will upset the balance of that article. There are no doubt many national manifestations of that denomination/movement, which might be listed in that article, but could not be appropriately covered in it. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:48, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Peterkingiron Good catch - I hadn't thought to look for Old Catholic Church in Italy. I agree that any merging should be done to that article. I'm neutral on whether a redirect is needed. Lamona (talk) 00:23, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Peterkingiron:
The external links cite three Anglican sources. These will be external to the denomination. Why are these not RS?
: as I wrote above, none of those external links - which are 19th-century sources - are related to or mention this alleged group whose existence is so far unproven. - It is clear to me the Old Catholic Church in Italy is not the same as the Chiesa Vetero-Cattolica Italiana. Where do you get the idea those could be the same group? Veverve (talk) 17:33, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Veverve Can you give any sources that would explain this? Everything I've read puts the Italian "version" of the Old Catholic Church as evolving from the same history as the OCC in the rest of Europe. It appears that it has taken a somewhat different direction in each culture, but the basic tenets seem to be coherent. The Italian web site gives this: "la Missione Cristiana Cattolica Italiana, assumendo la denominazione di Chiesa Vetero-Cattolica Italiana, seguita la sua Opera sostenendo e divulgando il Rito antico, il Sacerdozio dei laici e la Scienza- Arte Salutare Cristica" and I read that's what is defined in the Old Catholic Church article. However, I had not noticed that there is *also* an article Old Catholic Church in Italy, which seems to cover the same ground as this one, and gives the Italian name as *Chiesa Vetero-Cattolica in Italia*. There are articles for Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands, Old Catholic Church of America, but also Old Catholic Church in Italy, Old Catholic Church in Poland etc. It seems this needs some theological expertise. In any case I still think that there is no reason to keep this nominated article, and if there is relevant information in it then perhaps the merge should be to Old Catholic Church in Italy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lamona (talk • contribs) 00:10, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Lamona: Again, I do not understand what you are trying to argue. All Old Catholics agree on a set of tenets, a core doctrine, just like any Christian denomination. The article is not about how Old Catholicism developed in Italy, but is about a specific group of Old Catholics. Old Catholic Church in Poland, Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands and Old Catholic Church in Italy are not general articles about the History of Old Catholicism in Poland, the Netherlands or in Italy; those articles are about specific groups which happen to be called "Old Catholic Church in Poland", "Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands" and "Old Catholic Church in Italy".
- The Old Catholic Church in Italy's website is [35], while the Chiesa Vetero-Cattolica Italiana's website is [36]. They are therefore clearly not the same group. Veverve (talk) 07:48, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- If you read through those two links you see that one is under the umbrella of the Conferenza Episcopale Internazionale di Utrecht, which was an umbrella organization for all of the "old catholics". The second one explains that the Italian group separated from the Utrect organization in 1997. ("Dal 1997 si è resa autonoma dal patronato della Conferenza Episcopale Internazionale di Utrecht per mantenersi fedele al principio conciliare della Chiesa Antica.") This history is included in the article for Old Catholic Church in Italy: "The Old Catholic Church in Italy (Italian: Chiesa Vetero-Cattolica in Italia) was a Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches (UU) mission in Italy until 2011. Some former missions are in full communion with the Anglican Communion." So those two are different phases of the same group. If you have evidence of yet another group that needs to be accommodated, please present it. (I note that the article on Old Catholic Church does not link to Old Catholic Church in Italy and I see nothing on the talk page to explain this.) Lamona (talk) 15:31, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- The dates do not match (1997 vs 2011) so it cannot be the same group. Moreover, the Union of Utrech (UU) has many churches which are part of it, so it is possible there were two distinct, independent Old Catholic groups in Italy part at one point of the UU and left it at some point. Moreover, your whole argument relies on those WP:PRIMARY SOURCES being reliable, which is quite a bold assumption for such a small unknown group. Veverve (talk) 15:45, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

- Comment. There are lots of churches which are, or have been, part of the Independent Catholicism movement, some of which specifically identify themselves as Old Catholic, but not all of which are members of the Union of Utrecht (Old Catholic). This article is about a particular church known as Chiesa Vetero-Cattolica Italiana, and the question is whether we have adequate sources discussing this church as opposed to other churches with similar names. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:32, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

- I'm not sure when this changed, but Google's newspapers search used to be a separate link in our find sources template whereas it can now be found as a drop down menu choice in the Google book search link result. Perhaps it should be restored as a separate link to highlight it? 68.189.242.116 (talk) 16:44, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- I was never aware of it being a direct link previously, but then i'd typically do a manual search anyway so wouldn't know. Google used to maintain their newspapers database but now it exists only as an archive of what was done previously, so unsure if something changed around that time. Either way, it's not difficult to change the drop down to "newspapers", nor for experienced editors to apply for a newspapers.com account. I can't read the obituary posted by Vladimir.copic, though it may have additional useful content not found in the newspapers. Bungle (talk • contribs) 17:27, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- This talk page commentary (Module_talk:Find_sources#Google_News_vs._Newspapers) indicates it was changed on October 17, 2021 after a very short discussion. I agree that accessing the newspaper archive should not be too difficult for anyone familiar with Google book search results, but I think there is something to be said for making it as easy as possible. 68.189.242.116 (talk) 19:01, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

- Comment has been proposed for deletion in the past, the end result being the merging of two articles. According to this source, the company is active, so this article can be kept with the involvement of a local publisher.--Tysska (talk) 22:15, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- Kerala Vision seems to be primarily a broadband provider which also has a television channel under the same name, I have not found sufficient sourcing for the channel to meet WP:GNG. In any case if this is going to be notable, it would probably be because of the broadband provider so weak delete per WP:TNT if not anything. Regarding the broadband provider itself, there is a lot of coverage in terms of passing mentions and some non trivial ones but I've couldn't find anything that can adequately satisfy WP:NORG. For instance, they made the news for extending internet connectivity to some remote villages. I may have missed something, although this is a regional if not a local distributor so I wouldn't count on it. Tayi Arajakate Talk 21:56, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Article fails to demonstrate significant coverage in multiple sources. The vast majority of the coverage presented in the article before it was reduced to a stub was about a product (Goût de Diamants Champagne) produced by a company the subject of the article is associated with, which itself does not appear notable.
