- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Per WP:NOTNEWS. The allegations that a coup was being planned are seemingly only backed by Mali's government ("Mali's military government says
", by Al Jazeera, and "Mali's military junta says
", by France 24), and even in the contrary it seems that the coup remained as a plot and didn't translate into action, without transcendence after two months. I also should bring into question the credibility of a military junta that itself came from a coup d'état. NoonIcarus (talk) 23:43, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose - the fact that the allegations of a coup d'état were all the more necessary to write an article on this subject JanPawel2025 (talk) 11:17, 9 July 2022 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: JanPawel2025 (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD.
- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Two months later, we still don't have any additional information, and the only source on which all the reports are based is the junta's only communiqué made on the subject: no accounts from eyewitnesses, no names, no places... As far as I can remember, there has always been some independent witnesses of the other coup attempts in the last years, in Mali and elsewhere in West Africa. This subject doesn't have its own article on the French WP either. It was most likely just another fake created in order to stir up the anti-French sentiment, and they've gone on to something else since then. BilletsMauves (talk) 17:19, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Disputed speedy (G14). Page disambiguates one article plus a section of another article (referring to match wagons), but there is dispute on the page history over whether the distinction is actually a difference. That should determine whether to delete/redirect; I am taking it here to resolve the speedy dispute and get outside opinions. ChromaNebula (talk) 21:07, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect The dab lists match wagon and idler flatcar which leads to
Idler flatcars are also used to mount one kind of coupler on one end and another kind on the other end. This is called a barrier vehicle or match wagon.
The only real target is barrier vehicle, match wagon should just redirect there. MB 01:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC) - Delete match wagon (disambiguation), redirect match wagon (already done). I had the same thought process as MB above. As written, a "match wagon" is also known as a "barrier vehicle", which is a type of "idler flatcar". So saying that "match wagon" could be either is redundant. Hoof Hearted (talk) 12:25, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

- delete This seems to be stumbling quite a bit over NA/UK terminology disjunct, as "flatcar" is an NA term and "match wagon" is UK. Also, idler car (NA) isn't a type of car; it's a usage. Dedicated ones, one would imagine, are usually flatcars for various reasons, but they don't have to be: at Savage Mill they used whatever they had on hand to keep the locos off the ancient bridge, typically just other cars in the consist. It seems likely that an idler might also do coupler conversion, but they are still two different functions and I don't see the validity of this disambiguation. It would make sense to use hat notes in the respective articles instead, if necessary. Mangoe (talk) 00:12, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

This is almost impossible to search due to the name being shared with the residence of a serial killer. Maps and aerials, however, show that this is surely nothing more than a non-notable McManor development (like McMansions but smaller) from the early 1990s. Mangoe (talk) 23:31, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Wikipedia:GEOLAND: If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the informal place should be included in the more general article on the legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it. Djflem (talk) 22:14, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- There are infinite places on the planet, we are not obligated to mention every non-notable housing development whose only sources are database entries. We have no information to include beyond its existence as a few nondescript streets of houses like the subdivision I grew up in – that's not what Wikipedia is for. There are dozens more such subdivisions both in unincorporated Boone County and incorporated Zionsville, and this theory would just clutter our pages with WP:UNDUE crap. Reywas92Talk 03:44, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- What part of WP:UNDUE are you refering to? Which point of view is being discussed and not getting adequate and equal coverage? That poicy has nothing to do with this. (PS, where you grew up doesn't either). Djflem (talk) 21:37, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to the township is not notable. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:24, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. As Mangoe states, it's difficult to find this location in sources because of the numerous mentions of Fox Hollow Farms and it's serial killer. However, if you include the term of Boone or Zionsville it helps a lot. I think this is interesting, in showing how Fox Hollow first tried to be part of Zionsville and was refused, developed their own infrastructure and then Zionsville tried to take them. We don't need to delete this article just because another area had a famous serial killer. I'm looking for some more info. Jacona (talk) 13:05, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete or Redirect. The assertion that somehow the development is made non-notable because the type of dwelling or it's date of development, or that it we should delete it because there is a farm with a similar name that once housed a serial killer give me pause. Those are not valid reasons for deletion. What difference should it make whether the homes are McManors, McMansions, apartments, shacks, or shotgun row houses? I was able to find numerous mentions at Newspapers.com, but they were mostly pretty trivial. Even the most interesting of them were at best questionable for establishing WP:N, so unless someone can find something more, it should be deleted or redirected to an appropriate locality.

The result was no consensus. There appears to be a rough consensus at the RFC, although that doesn't help in this scenario as as Elmidae pointed out, there's no redirect target that exists. This can be handled editorially at the close of the RFC and revisited if needed, but I do not see a strong consensus to maintain this as a standalone nor to remove the material.

Failure GNG: It will take 76 years for this solar eclipse to occur. At the same time, it only occurs in the waters near Antarctica, and it is a partial solar eclipse, so it has no scientific value. Q28 (talk) 22:12, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

- Keep because WP:TOOSOON does not apply here. It may be that GNG is not met but it's not because of the time frame. Caleb Stanford (talk) 17:15, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep because it's not our job to speculate who will or will not be hanging about Antarctica. Indeed, the very fact that we can give a geographic location means that more than "generic information" is available, so the concern in the guideline mentioned above is inapplicable. There might be an argument for presenting our information about predicted eclipses in a different way, but that's not a question this particular forum is designed or equipped to resolve. XOR'easter (talk) 20:18, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep for the time being, but ONLY because there is no article on the respective Saros. As soon as that exists, it should be redirected theree post-haste. This is list material. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:22, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep as per Elmidae. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 19:27, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. This is not WP:CRYSTAL, it's a mathematically determined certainty of physical reality. Celestial events are the most predictable events known to humanity, which is why "the sun will come up tomorrow" is the most commonly used example of a vacuously true prediciton. This eclipse is literally guaranteed to happen at the precise hour indicated, and if it doesn't, come find me in 2098 and I'll give you a hundred bucks (inflation-adjusted). I don't see a GNG fail, either -- eclipses have been considered intrinsically notable events by virtually every civilization in history, and we have the entirety of astronomy to back up that this will happen there then. jp×g 20:35, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

- Keep - Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. There are multiple reliable sources found when searching online [1][2][3][4] as well as plenty of mentions in books[5][6][7][8] that show that the subject easily meets WP:GNG by virtue of extensive coverage in reliable sources. There are plenty more sources available both in a general Google search and through Google Books, I just picked four of each for examples. The article also meets WP:ANYBIO criteria #2: "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field" because the many of the sources note that he is a pioneer in Eastern European theatre for various reasons. - Aoidh (talk) 11:18, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

This is the first case of over 100 year old violation of not news guidelines. However since the main coverage we have is from contemporary news reports, I still think that issue applies. I do not believe we have actual grounds to justify this article, and no actual claim to notability. Dieing in a plain crash is all we have, and that does not make someone notable.

- Delete fails WP:BASIC. While there are lots of mentions of his role as joint namesake of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base there is a lack of indepth coverage about him. Mztourist (talk) 03:55, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - I am honestly shocked that someone that has an Air Force base named after them does not have significant coverage, but that's where we're at with this article. Nearly every single reference I could find to him was always a short sentence explaining that he was a pilot from Tuscon that died in a plane crash, and it's always in the context of why Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is named what it is. The only exception I could find is this which does go into a bit more detail, but even that's only within the context of why the base is named what it is, and that source alone is not enough to meet WP:GNG. Outside of the Air Force base, he is not mentioned from what I could find, and when he is mentioned, it's always the same short sentence. Per WP:MILPERSON there is no military-specific notability guideline, and he just doesn't meet WP:ANYBIO. - Aoidh (talk) 22:32, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I've added quite a few sources to the article. Will keep adding more. Here's one I won't add as it is in Spanish: 1 DiamondRemley39 (talk) 23:59, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Other coverage I haven't and probably won't add, in English, demonstrates national and enduring interest in Davis (and Sinclair): 2 3 4 5 6
- Will search under "Howard Davis" soon to see if there is coverage of him before the war; one article says he was known by his middle name. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 00:20, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep as meets GNG. Coverage was anything but brief and local and an Air Force base bearing his name adds significantly to the notability case. If it isn't to be kept, the content of this article should go to the article on the base; no matter the outcome, some of the citations should also go to the Oscar Monthan article in case that ever comes up for deletion; if draftified to me, I will do so. But my vote is keep. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 00:21, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - Unfortunately I have to keep my delete opinion, as the sources DiamondRemley39 found were more of the same as in my comment; a short sentence explaining that he was a pilot that died, usually to explain why the base was named what it was, and zero context beyond that. I also have to stress that having an Air Force base named after someone does not create notability for that person, as notability is not inherited. - Aoidh (talk) 00:41, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep your vote, but do not misrepresent the coverage so. Certainly more than "a short sentence" describe where he was born, raised, schooled, served, and died in biographical articles with photos. There certainly is context. I don't care if it no longer exists as a standalone article--the prose and references will be preserved and the article redirected, so it does not signify--but what we can see exists must be not be downplayed if this is to be a good discussion. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 01:54, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- I did see the obituaries and the articles explaining who is was within the context of the naming of the base, but nothing outside of that. When all the coverage is about the Air Force base and explains who he is an aside, the notability just isn't there unfortunately. - Aoidh (talk) 03:54, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Come, come, now. According to that *changed* statement, you missed some sources or you misclassified them. The first source is an entire biography, for example. Not a few sentences as you first said. Not an obituary or coverage of the naming or even the crash as you have said. Again, I don't care what your vote is, but *do not misrepresent the sources you yourself asked for* and have access to yourself, according to your user page. Take your time and be precise in AfD discussions. Also, news coverage of death in papers about the country does not an obit make. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 09:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- That first source you're referring to discusses him within the context of why the Air Force base is named what it is, which is exactly what I said it was. I would further point you to WP:BLP1E, as being mentioned in the newspapers solely for a plane crash does not create notability. Your comment seems unnecessarily focused on me and what you've assumed I did or did not do; perhaps let's focus on the content moving forward? - Aoidh (talk) 10:20, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- We are focused on the content. We are focusing on what you've said rather than on notability because your comment is misleading as to the scope of the sources. (I started my first comment with "keep your vote," after all.) We are having this tangent because such poor representation of the sources as you provided in your comments tend to mislead editors who come to the discussion and vote. Recall you wrote "a short sentence explaining that he was a pilot that died, usually to explain why the base was named what it was, and zero context beyond that". Wrong. Instead of striking, correcting, clarifying, or ignoring, you now add, "When all the coverage is about the Air Force base and explains who he is an aside..." No. Inaccurate; there was some biographical coverage at the time of his death. You could have avoided this discourse if you'd merely said "I've reviewed the dozen plus sources added and I don't see the notability". Again, keep your vote. Good editors care about accuracy on this page and in the article. You don't have to keep responding, but if you've been around AfD at all you may know that editors are likely to respond to comments like these. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 15:40, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thankfully, you do not get to decide who "good editors" are nor what they do. You're resorting to attacking me as an editor to compensate for your lack of anything else to rebut, and thankfully anyone who reads your comment will see right through that. Despite what you're claiming, most editors don't behave like you have at AfD, especially the "good editors." I don't know what your goal is with nonsense like "good editors care..." implying that I'm not a good editor but it's inappropriate, it's not constructive, it's certainly not going to convince me of the merits of your argument, and it's frankly disappointing that you feel you have to stoop to that behavior. You're not discussing, you're attacking, and I'll not play along further. You had a chance to stop making digs at me and to focus on the content and you failed. Badly. I know you'll have the last word and you're welcome to it, but for my part I'll just say that we'll agree to disagree. I'll take this page off my watchlist now because I'm not interested in more of...whatever this is you're doing. - Aoidh (talk) 22:20, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Failure GNG: It will take 72 years for this solar eclipse to occur. At the same time, it only occurs in the waters near Antarctica, and it is a partial solar eclipse, so it has no scientific value. Q28 (talk) 14:02, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

- Keep for the same rationale as at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Solar eclipse of October 24, 2098. We have 193 articles on future solar eclipses; the question of which to give separate pages, which to perhaps condense into a common list, etc., is not what this forum is for.

- Keep, per what I said at the other nomination. This is not WP:CRYSTAL — it's a mathematically determined certainty of physical reality based on thousands of years of astronomy (by which nearly all human civilizations have considered eclipses to be notable events of great significance and portent). Celestial events are the most predictable events known to humanity, which is why "the sun will come up tomorrow" is the most commonly used example of a vacuously true prediciton. I don't understand what the concern is with it being "far-flung". I plan on the human race existing in 2094, don't you? Is there something I should know about? jp×g 20:40, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yes. But as I answer your question, it makes me want to ask you one too. Sorry if I'm taking us further off track, but do you think the humans are going to continue existing indefinitely, or do you think there is a point where certainty about that is difficult to predict? CT55555 (talk) 21:41, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Well, if we don't, who cares? In the most literal sense possible – if there is some massive event that causes humanity to perish, there won't be any humans to have opinions about it. And there will still be an eclipse on June 13, 2094! Perhaps the cockroaches and space aliens and intelligent machines will even read about it on Wikipedia. jp×g 21:56, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Bodies blocking the paths of suns happen commonly, what makes these ones notable is that humans see them. But maybe it doesn't matter too much if wikipedia is out of date if there are no humans. I don't think we have guidance for that. But still, I wonder do you think the orbit of the moon and earth are absolutely guaranteed to be unaltered forever? Is there a point where you think these future predictions should stop? Or should we have wikipedia articles about eclipses expected in the 3000s? 4000s? Should we have infinite eclipse articles? My current view remains that the guidance directs us away from creating articles about future events that didn't happen. CT55555 (talk) 22:05, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- If some event catastrophic enough to disrupt the orbit of the Earth occurs between now and the end of the 21st century, I am pretty sure it will involve enough energy to render the planet uninhabitable, in which case Wikipedia will no longer exist. As for future predictability, there are indeed stochastic perturbations that can compound and alter the trajectories of celestial bodies on larger timescales. If that's enough to actually change eclipse times, who knows? But for matters of practicality, I don't think it really matters what Wikipedia has planned for the year 3000: it seems exceedingly unlikely that humans will still be using their hands to type on keyboards, or reading glowing rectangles to obtain information about the world (indeed unlikely that the English language will exist in its current form). But if a bunch of articles about eclipses in the year 3000 existed, I don't think it would be worth the effort to have discussions about all of them and delete them, either. jp×g 00:15, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- I think I agree. And therefore we must agree there needs to be a cut off point somewhere between now and 3000AD. I don't know what to !vote other than against all future predictions. CT55555 (talk) 04:19, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Delete- The article tone is promotional, it's clear that it will need clean up if it's not deleted. I did find one good source that would count towards GNG: this article in The Hindu is not an interview, it is a review:[10], but one review is not enough to pass our notability criteria for GNG or NARTIST. A Google BEFORE search found nothing other than blogs or self-published items. There are awards listed in the article but they do not seem to be notable awards. I'm willing to change my !vote if verifiable SIGCOV can be found, and links posted here or added to the article.

If this article gets recreated again in main space, please tag it for CSD G4.

The subject has not received enough additional significant coverage in independent sources to satisfy the GNG. Everything appears to be either ROUTINE or non-independent (such as an interview) save for La Côte, which is behind a paywall and still only a single source. Don't assume I haven't done a WP:BEFORE check. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 21:25, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
- Then what's this, and this, and this, and this? Most is WP:ROUTINE but if you search deep enough, independent coverage exists. This (which comes from a quick search, so even more can emerge) combined with all the La Côte coverage, which is very good, takes it towards WP:GNG. WP:POTENTIAL is also high, as his age and rookie win at Zandvoort last weekend (later lost due to a penalty) shows, so salting is unwarranted. This is a keep, or at worst a draftify !vote. Still stand by my speedy keep vote though—this is a very poor nomination and you seem to be trying to scrape up a rationale on the spot. MSport1005 (talk) 21:41, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

- Comment: It was moved to mainspace with a very clear rationale: "Dufek has now completed races in FRECA". Now, I don't know whether that implies notability, but it does suggest that the previoud AfD arguments might be inappropriate, that a speedy delete would be very unfair, and that as it stands there is no valid rationale for deletion.

- Reply - The Formula Regional European Championship is a minor series and competing in it is not any sort of indicator of inherent notability. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 00:15, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - Random teenager competing in low-level competitions. NRTV is a couple of sentences of extremely WP:ROUTINE coverage. Simandan is an interview on a blog that probably is not a reliable source and may not be independent of the subject. This Formula Scout article (noting that Formula Scout are a reliable source) contributes more towards WP:SIGCOV than their coverage of drivers usually does, but my personal view is that our definition of WP:SIGCOV and WP:ONEEVENT needs to be particularly extensive when dealing with WP:MINORS, so this alone doesn't sway my opinion. If multiple other profiles from reliable independent sources were to show up similar to this Formula Scout article I might change my vote, but right now this article only seems to demonstrate the notability of the events Dufek has competed in. Swiss Motorsport.com gives us a couple of paragraphs of routine reporting on where local drivers finished in a minor-league motor race and cannot be considered WP:SIGCOV in my opinion. As always, I have nothing against these kids. I just feel it's fundamentally unethical to have articles about children who aren't demonstrably public figures known to a fairly wide audience, given the potential for vandalism and other issues to occur that may not be picked up on by good-faith editors before they can cause some sort of harm. More broadly I have concerns about the number of WP:BLPs of sportspeople who haven't established themselves as having success at a fairly high level, as often these articles get forgotten about over the years and can become targets for vandalism, like that article about a BTCC backmarker which spent several years with a verifiably false claim in the first sentence from a while back. Edit: I do agree that it is fairly plausible that this article's subject may become notable at some point in the next few years, but without getting into WP:CRYSTAL it's impossible to say what might happen beyond the current situation. If this article's subject wins the FRECA title then that would change the situation significantly. On those grounds I would support WP:SALTing until
OctoberJanuary 2023 and no later.

That, plus the non-WP:ROUTINE Formula Scout source, plus all the extense La Côte coverage, take it close to WP:SIGCOV, so I'm quite baffled by all these delete+salt votes with little to no rationale, particularly User:Sportsfan 1234's one. MSport1005 (talk) 11:07, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per HumanBodyPiloter5. If Formula Scout is a reliable source then we have WP:GNG right there.[11][12][13] StAnselm (talk) 00:27, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- The WP:GNG says "
Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
" Three Formula Scout articles do not prove the subject meets the GNG. The coverage here still essentially amounts to WP:ROUTINE announcements as well. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 01:44, 8 July 2022 (UTC)- Surely "organization" in that sentence means "collective or corporate author" and not "publisher" or "news agency"? -- asilvering (talk) 03:52, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- I suggest the most appropriate interpretation is "outlet" or "masthead". Multiple different outlets owned by the same publisher or agency would be different organizations, but the same individual outlet (in this case Formula Scout) would be one organization. 5225C (talk • contributions) 07:44, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Salt as well. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:11, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete – Per my original deletion nomination, the second deletion discussion, and HumanBodyPiloter5's analysis of the sources provided (except I disagree that Formula Scout is an indicator of notability, as I've argued before). Dufek continues to fail notability guidelines for the time being, and it doesn't look like his chances of moving up the ladder are that big at the moment. Creation protection until January might be appropriate but I don't have a strong opinion on that. 5225C (talk • contributions) 03:41, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Looking at Dufek's results I would agree that WP:SALTing until January would actually be appropriate. If Dufek does turn around the season and wins every remaining race and gets coverage in the process then it can be requested that the protection be removed, but otherwise it is unlikely that this article's subject will meet the notability requirements for a WP:BLP by the end of this year. Beyond that it becomes a case of WP:CRYSTAL, it's very hard to predict where one of these junior sportspeople might be competing in twelve months time. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 05:03, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Draftify and oppose salting - Reformulating my vote. Comes close to WP:SIGCOV with the sources I've provided above but it's not clear-cut, and fails WP:NMOTORSPORT. Borderline notable at best. Oppose salting because WP:POTENTIAL is high, as explained above. Incubating in draftspace until a bit more coverage emerges is the best approach in my view. MSport1005 (talk) 10:57, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Will look into this when I'm more free, but DRYT.Motorsport needs to stop moving drivers from draftspace under the reasoning of FRECA participation. "since Dufek has now completed races in FRECA, he is a relevant driver and is worthy of a page" is a pretty poor rationale, that's not based on the actual guidelines at WP:NMOTORSPORT. The only current F1 feeder series (rightfully) giving notability is Formula 2 Championship. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 12:49, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Weak delete, weakly oppose draftfying with no particular opinion on salting. While I've voted delete in all three previous discussions, it does appear that the sourcing available is better than the last times (not that cluttering this discussion with routine coverage or blog posts helps!) but I still don't see a pass of GNG. Again like the last time there is a huge number of sources in the article itself but these are mostly non-neutral or non-reliable. I'm opposed to draftifying this version as I believe it is possibly lacking correct attribution from the previous versions (especially given the presence of some of the same fairly obscure unreliable sources like the youtube video) but also if deleted (which will reflect consensus on lack of notability), due to the presence of these unreliable sources it might be better to start again if/when substantial coverage in reliable sources becomes available rather than continuing with this version. A7V2 (talk) 06:09, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, do not salt Fails WP:GNG with lack of WP:SIGCOV on this athlete who is currently limited to regional competitions. As a young "up-and-comer," his notability can quickly change. Frank Anchor 20:11, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

At the time of nomination (fifteen years ago) the article had no content that couldn't easily be covered in a section of graveyard orbit. However, over the course of this AfD, satellite technology has developed to the point where disposal orbits are used more commonly, so I'd expect there to be more literature available on them allowing the existence of a standalone article. jp×g 19:08, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

- Weak keep. As part of a WP:BEFORE exercise, I found (and in several cases added) a number of sources which seem to deal with the subject as a primary topic. Granted more than a few of them are in the "re-printed press releases as trade 'journalism'" category. But, in addition to the coverage itself, some of the claims to notability in that coverage ("first cereal bar in UK", "second in market share", etc) suggest that deletion is perhaps not the best course here.

- This isn't a question of whether the article should be deleted, as at worst the result should be redirecting to List of BNK48 members. That said, I'd argue keep since the subject has had multiple significant works as an individual, outside of the group. Her role in the TV series One Year (itself notable but lacking an article) was significant enough for a Best Newcomer award at the 2020 Asian Contents Awards,[16] and she plays the lead role in Bad Genius: The Series. With her starring role in the upcoming film OMG!: Oh My Girl,[17], her career should satisfy WP:NACTOR independently of her BNK48 membership. Even discounting that, there's plenty enough Thai-language coverage of her to satisfy the GNG.[18][19][20][21] --Paul_012 (talk) 14:47, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Comment The Busan Asian Contents Awards is not a blue-linked award. First source 'The Cloud' is an interview. The second is an interview about her makeup routine. Third Kapook! is indeed a piece about her beauty and career - and fourth Sanook is a word-for-word carbon copy of Kappok! - a photo feature which sounds very much like it was derived from the same press handout. Starlet to watch? Maybe. GNG pass? No. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:18, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- Plenty of news coverage from Google News [22]. Sanook is word-for-word copy of Kapook? Even Google Translate should show different content. It's like saying an article in Wikipedia is carbon copy of the corresponding Brittanica one. --Lerdsuwa (talk) 17:40, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep as has multiple significant roles in notable productions as per WP:NACTOR. Some of the references are better than others but there is enough for a keep, in my view Atlantic306 (talk) 23:59, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Further discussion may be useful to reach consensus. Suggest review of the sources provided, which do not seem sufficient for notability, being lightweight celebrity/beauty articles.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, TigerShark (talk) 14:28, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Regarding potential sources, the The Cloud interview is the most in-depth among those linked above. While it is an interview, it does provide a substantial introduction (seven short paragraphs) and many background statements presented in the interviewer's voice, which should count as a secondary source. The The Standard makeup interview has a very brief introduction that isn't in-depth. The Kapook and Sanook pieces are their usual celebrity profile pieces. The Kapook one is more detailed and in-depth, covering all of her personal and work life, while the Sanook one has a short list and a paragraph covering the basic biographical details and some tidbits of her personal life. Both come with the usual caveat of Thai celebrity columns: they don't score the best in the reliability department, and often rely on information already present on the web. On the whole, though, considering these together with general news coverage, I do think there's enough to satisfy the notability guideline. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:26, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

(12 papers each with triple-digit citations) are easily enough for #C1.

Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels.
. This is the policy. I didn't make it up. I’m not making a vote because it will still be neglected by the closing admin (as seen in this AfD).

- Delete I can't find independent significant coverage in multiple mainstream RS, Dutch or English. "Kingfish Zeeland" seems to be the actual Dutch name, see [23]. [24] (in Dutch) seems okay and is likely independent. Perhaps someone can do a deeper analysis of it. [25] is the best English source I can find, but I don't think it constitutes SIGCOV--it's pretty short and does not discuss the company in detail. There are some specialist publications on the company, mostly from SeafoodSource and IntraFish, e.g. [26], but NCORP explicitly states that trade publications must be treated with great care when establishing notability, and based on the tone of these articles it's unclear whether there's true independence. [27] (in Dutch) doesn't look particularly independent based on Google Translate, but it's hard for me to tell. [28] is similar. If more sources are found, or someone who speaks Dutch has assessed these articles, please ping me. Ovinus (talk) 18:13, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- De Volkskrant (your link 2), a national newspaper, and Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant (your link 6), a regional paper, are independent sources. De ondernemer, link 5, is a website owned by Algemeen Dagblad, a national paper. That said, the author of the pieces in AD and PZC is the same and in the AD piece he states that the information was provided by the company during a press briefing. The piece in De Volkskrant is basically an interview with the owner of the company. So yes, three articles in independent sources based on information provided by the company. Still, I would say it counts as significant coverage by independent sources. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 19:27, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

- De Volkskrant (your link 2), a national newspaper, and Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant (your link 6), a regional paper, are independent sources. De ondernemer, link 5, is a website owned by Algemeen Dagblad, a national paper. That said, the author of the pieces in AD and PZC is the same and in the AD piece he states that the information was provided by the company during a press briefing. The piece in De Volkskrant is basically an interview with the owner of the company. So yes, three articles in independent sources based on information provided by the company. Still, I would say it counts as significant coverage by independent sources. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 19:27, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, on the basis I cannot find any national or regional news sources about The Kingfish Company. Kingfish Maine, cited in a Maine news source, appears to be a subsiduary company, so doesn't count towards notability of The Kingfish Company. There are certainly a number of articles in fish-related news sites, but these are industry specific and not of general interest, so wouldn't help the subject pass WP:NCORP. Sionk (talk) 21:38, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

An article on this subject was deleted in 2010 at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vicente-Ignacio Soria de Veyra with the rationale “ On this face of it this is a highly detailed, very well sourced article. However once you get into the nit-gritty it's not sourced at all (not at wikipedia standards). All of the sources are either self-published, non-notable blogs or directory lists. There are a couple of sources that might be considered reliable but the coverage of the subject is trivia.” That rationale still stands. Since 2010 the subject has had one solo exhibition but if we’re looking for in depth coverage in RIS this recreation doesn’t offer it. Mccapra (talk) 06:51, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

It's good that he was included in a 20th century anthology, but that's about the only noteworthy fact. If the subject continues to produces a body of work that might merit an article in the future.

Chandigarh women's football team
Non-notable sports team that does not satisfy general notability. This was first created in article space but moved into draft space by User:Spiderone after being tagged as relying on primary sources. This copy was then created in article space, so that it cannot be moved into draft space, but still is not ready for article space. A check of the references shows that they are all primary sources, and mostly refer to the subjunior team winning its championship, and are not significant coverage. Junior and subjunior sports have very seldom been considered notable, even before the revision of the sports notability guidelines.

Non-notable game with only three refs, the first one is potentially reliable, but the editor is also a prominent contributor to BGG (https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/boardgamegeek-news), which according to the Wikiproject Board Games is an unreliable blog. The second ref is not independent, and the third one is too unreliable. Upon a search, I could not find any awards or reliable refs covering this, hence listing this at AfD as there are not multiple reliable independent sources. Thanks! VickKiang (talk) 23:10, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- There are certainly more references out there: https://www.dicetower.com/game/67285/armorica

- I disagree, BGG and The Dice Tower (the latter I also subscribe to) are self-published (please see Wikiproject) and unreliable. IMO an article needs more reliable sources with editorial control. Replying to the other comment, I do not think so, although in my opinion an article should be all right if it has two multiple, reliable, indepedent sources, or won (or is nominated) to a SdJ. While I could concur that this is "relevant to understanding Vogel's progress as a game designer", unless you provide more reliable refs, I am unconvinced that this is notable.

Is The Dice Tower video review reliable? They are high profile, but not high enough to prevent the article about this show from being merged to the stubby biography of the podcasdter in 2018 (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Dice Tower (2nd nomination)). Unless we can find more high profile reviews or awards (BGG shows nothing), this is not a notable game.

WP:BLP of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for political office. As always, candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates per se -- the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, and a candidate must demonstrate either that he already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article anyway (i.e. Cynthia Nixon), or a credible reason why his candidacy can be seen as much, much more nationally significant than other people's candidacies such that people would still be looking for information about it a decade from now even if he loses. But this demonstrates neither of those things, and is referenced to a mix of primary sources that are not support for notability at all and purely run of the mill local campaign coverage of the type that every candidate in every election always gets, thus not marking him out as more special than everybody else.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November if he wins, but nothing here is already enough to earn him a Wikipedia article today. Bearcat (talk) 17:19, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Delete unelected candidates for public office are not default notable for such, and the coverage is not to the level to justify an article on an unelected candidate.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:52, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to 2022 Georgia lieutenant gubernatorial election#Democratic primary. Per nom., not notable per WP:NPOL or WP:GNG, so not presently qualified for a standalone article. His prominent standing as his party's nominee in the upcoming statewide election does warrant a redirect, however. Also per nom., no prejudice against the article's re-creation should he win the general election in November. Sal2100 (talk) 20:07, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Bailey is twice the nominee of a major political party for statewide office. Only about 2% of the vote kept him from winning in 2018. Is it truly the case that he has not received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"? Such would establish general notability, and per the end of the WP:POLITICIAN guideline, make him notable as a politician. —ADavidB 04:45, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- Every candidate in every election everywhere can always show campaign coverage, and thus claim that WP:GNG exempts them from having to pass WP:NPOL — but if that were how it worked, then NPOL would be entirely unenforceable, because nobody would ever actually have to be measured against it at all anymore. So no, a non-winning candidate does not get an article just because run of the mill campaign coverage exists: as I noted in my nomination statement, candidates get articles only if they (a) had another claim of notability for some other reason that would already have gotten them an article anyway, or (b) can show a credible reason why their candidacy should be seen as much, much more important and special than most other people's candidacies. And no, running twice isn't more notable than running once, and coming close but still losing isn't more notable than losing by a wider margin, either. Bearcat (talk) 12:21, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- How was it established that this state-wide nominee's coverage is only 'run of the mill'? If this is so far an assumption based on the current article status, my comment serves as an invitation for editors to look for and include more significant coverage. The article is only a week old. —ADavidB 16:24, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- Being a candidate for statewide office isn't any more "inherently" notable than being a candidate for local office either — candidates for statewide office still always get campaign coverage by definition, and thus what I said before about how nobody would ever have to be measured against our inclusion standard for politicians if the existence of campaign coverage were all it took to exempt them from it still applies the same way. Simply put, a candidate only gets to claim notability on the basis of campaign coverage itself if that campaign coverage expands to a volume and geographic range far beyond what would merely be expected to exist, because the test for a non-winning candidate requires him to demonstrate that he's so much more notable than most other candidates that even if he loses he would still pass the people will still be looking for information about his campaign in the year 2032 test anyway.
If a person is running for statewide office, then campaign coverage within the state where he's running for office is merely expected to always exist, and is thus run of the mill — if a candidate in Georgia breaks out to such a degree that he starts getting covered in California and Iowa and Michigan, then he might be getting somewhere, but if he's only getting coverage in Georgia then that coverage is not demonstrating that he's more notable than other candidates. Bearcat (talk) 21:55, 28 June 2022 (UTC)- I disagree with treating major-party-elected statewide nominees as 'local', but acknowledge that is how things are being done. —ADavidB 02:13, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

So no, a non-winning candidate does not get an article just because run of the mill campaign coverage exists: as I noted in my nomination statement, candidates get articles only if they (a) had another claim of notability for some other reason that would already have gotten them an article anyway, or (b) can show a credible reason why their candidacy should be seen as much, much more important and special than most other people's candidacies. And no, running twice isn't more notable than running once, and coming close but still losing isn't more notable than losing by a wider margin, either. Bearcat (talk) 12:21, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

- Moderate Keep. Due to him actually winning the Democratic run-off, he's garnered a lot of coverage from local stations and reputable papers, about how he will compete in the finals, plus an Axios article on his views on abortion. A redirect or merge is another alternative, although it does not make the most sense since he has ran for two elections, and a single page can't exactly redirect to two pages at a time, ya know. User:HumanxAnthro (Nina CortexxCoco Bandicoot) 04:03, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- It's true that a single page can't be redirected to more than one article. In this case, redirecting to 2022 Georgia lieutenant gubernatorial election#Democratic primary would be the most appropriate course of action (if redirect is the result of this discussion) because it is the higher office sought by the subject. That, I believe, is the standard procedure for redirecting politicians who have run for multiple offices. That's why it's the particular target being proposed. FYI and FWIW.

Mainly being a nominee as an Ambassador. I don't think this is notable. R E A D I N G Talk to the Beans? 01:50, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete ambassadors are not default notable, and those sent to very small countries especially by large countries very far away from the small country, are normally not for such. broadly the majority of people who are ambassadors who are notable are notable for other things, and Jardine has nothing else to indicate notability, and being nominated for the post he was nominated for is not anywhere close to enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:24, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Just because you have never heard of the two countries, actually (not one), does not mean the ambassadors are not notable. He is as notable as the other ambassadors on this page as well as as notable as the ambassadors appointed by the Trump administration, all of whom have pages on both counts. You also treat nomination as if it is not the first step to confirmation. The fact that he has not yet been confirmed has nothing to do with notability guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isaiahlaitinen99 (talk • contribs) 20:38, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

- "Significant role" as per WP:NACTOR has to be proven, and the way that's proven is with significant coverage. It's not about cast listing order – it's about whether a role generates significant secondary coverage. We've had cases before where someone arguably "technically met WP:NACTOR", but the article was still deleted at WP:AfD because those roles got no significant coverage (so WP:BASIC was failed). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:30, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

None of the references shown here demonstrate independent in-depth coverage-- the second one appears to be to the subject's own personal website.

- Hi Loose Necktie
- Thank you for your concern on this page. I will attempt to answer your notes below.
- The second website you mention appears to be the subjects own website is not correct. This is the subjects own website, https://saxonlogan.com/, which has been avoided for obvious reasons.
- With regards to notability, he won an Emmy award and received an honorary mention from the Academy in USA. Notability must be viewed from both a local and worldwide context. USA and Europe don't have an exclusive hold over who is notable in film and television. In Africa this man is incredibly notable.
- His most active period was prior to the invention of the internet so the vast majority of publicity no longer exists, making finding online external links difficult to source. It should be flagged for lack of appropriate citations, not deleted for notability. Shelly Took (talk) 06:23, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Article relies on a single source, and is only linked to by one other article which is a list of football players.

- Almost certainly notable, but will need to search sources. In addition to coaching, he also played six games for the Giants in 1955. Searches in google books show quite a few hits, being an NFL offensive coordinator usually generates press.

- Comment So this is where things get a little gray. If you look at the guidelines for sports WP:ATHLETE there isn't a set for football. But if you review the other sports you'll notice that for most games you need to have done something other than just played a handful of games. Same is true for coaches, there isn't a set of guidelines for professional coaches but there is one for amateur coaches and in if we used those guidelines then I think he would also fail WP:NCOLLATH. I read the newspaper clippings that @Cbl62 provided (thanks for that @Cbl62 that's a good resource) and most of them mention he's a coach and do a short interview but the article is covering the performance of the team. It's a little less cut and dry then I normally like to see when dealing with WP:BLP. I know that the guidelines are flexible and aren't hard and fast rules but it just appears that as the article stands currently he doesn't appear notable. I copied some of the guidelines and put them below because they were the ones that I felt illustrated my point the best and were kind of a rough rubric I used when coming to this conclusion.

- Baseball - WP:NBASE
- Are a member of a major Hall of Fame, such as the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum or the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame.
- Basketball - WP:NBASKETBALL
- Were selected in the first two rounds of the NBA draft.
- Have won an award, or led the league in a major statistical category, of the Continental Basketball Association or NBA G League.
- College Athletes and Coaches - WP:NCOLLATH
- Have won a national award (such as those listed in Template:College Football Awards or the equivalent in another sport), or established a major NCAA Division I record.
- Were inducted into the hall of fame in their sport (for example, the College Football Hall of Fame).
- Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team. Very rarely, a player may gain national media attention despite not being on a notable team, such as Lauren Hill.
- Have won multiple NCAA Division I national championships as an individual in an individual sport.
- Served as a full-time (as opposed to interim) head coach for NCAA Division I/University Division football. Other college coaches in other divisions and/or other sports may also meet notability guidelines via WP:NBASIC.
- @Dr vulpes: Passing GNG, as here, is all that's required. Q3 in the NSPORTS FAQs expressly states: "If the subject meets the general notability guideline, then they meet Wikipedia's standards for having an article in Wikipedia, even if they do not meet the criteria for the appropriate sports-specific notability guideline. The sports-specific notability guidelines are not intended to set a higher bar for inclusion in Wikipedia." Cbl62 (talk) 00:36, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
