Putting the article's promotional tone aside, I don't think this topic is notable, mainly because it's very difficult to establish proper source independence. All of the current sources are strikingly promotional. [1] contains gems like An incredibly remarkable feat when you consider Look’s humble beginnings.
and This player ... is playfully referred to as their ‘first child’.
[2] is a passing mention. [3]: If yes, the LOOK DS tool is what you need. It will grace your digital signage displays to keep your audience interested.
[4]: It is an award-winning, easy, and dependable software solution for remote control of digital screen networks of different sizes and functions, such as advertising panels in retail shops or restaurant digital menu boards.
[5] is passing. [6]... is somewhat better than the previous ones. But it's still just a review, and not a particularly nuanced or insightful one. So I don't even think this passes WP:GNG. Ovinus (talk) 23:46, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

- Delete I was going to nominate this for deletion myself but the nominator beat me to it. The sources are highly dubious and appear to largely consist of SEO spam and unvetted 'contributor' articles. For instance, this does not appear to be a legitimate news site and the article is completely nonsensical - it spends one paragraph on the topic and then goes into talking about BBC, Instagram and Facebook Live. This has the byline "Brought to you by Look DS", this seems to be a site that allows anyone to submit articles, this is written by an anonymous "Guest Author", this doesn't appear to be reliable and this seems to be an advertorial site (see their about me:

Reason for deletion:
Procedurally refiling Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of browser engines (CSS support). My policy-based reason for deletion is that, in addition to the original proposed deletion reasons quoted above, these lists are no better than the list deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of JavaScript engines; that is, to partially quote from Aoidh, these are "simple listing[s]" that [are] specifically mentioned under WP:NOTDIRECTORY. [... They have] no context and [are] painfully out-of-date. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:51, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

- Keep and improve. '"simple listing[s] ... [with] no context', 'list of various "statements"? (words?) that are supported in each brower, without giving an explanation for what each one is/does', and 'painfully out-of-date' are fixable problems. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 18:33, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all: As much as I despise the rampant abuse of incredibly subjective "policies" such as WP:NOT, the unfortunate reality is that we slowly but steadily approach the non-fictional (and much more depressing) technological singularity of an utter lack of competition and a few major companies copying each other to make lucrative streams of revenue for themselves by essentially doing nothing with their software, making version comparisons all but meaningless (among many other awful effects on the market)... where was I? Ah yes, insofar as this AfD the point is that there are simply no reasonable prospects whatsoever of such comparisons of current versions becoming reasonable articles, while any attempt at historical comparison would result in vastly more detail than could be deemed reasonable for Wikipedia. And besides: as I wrote almost half a decade ago now,
if you want these types of comparisons deleted, nominate everything in Category:Browser engine comparisons.
The nominator has gone above and beyond merely doing so, by finding similar closely-related articles as well. Modernponderer (talk) 04:40, 23 September 2022 (UTC)- To be clear, I didn't do the finding; someone else did and made a malformed nomination that was closed for being malformed, and I refiled it properly. * Pppery * it has begun... 13:27, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

- Delete all per WP:NOT. These are just guides to assist someone in answering "What browser should I use?" and are way too technical for the average reader to make use of. For those reasons, I don't think that comparison articles should be something on an encyclopedia, and I believe these are things someone should just go to a tech review site or forum for.

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations, Christianity, and United States of America. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:54, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Selective merge to National Association of Free Will Baptists: I think this article is unique on Wikipedia for having an exhaustive list of missionaries. We do have a number of articles on denominational mission agencies separate to the denomination's article (e.g. Presbyterian Church in America / Mission to the World), but this particular one does not seem to have any good sources. The selective merge can have the name of the director, but not a list of missionaries. StAnselm (talk) 19:03, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: the organization was actually renamed "North American Ministries" in 2015.[1] StAnselm (talk) 19:09, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Merge to National Association of Free Will Baptists, but without prejudice to demerge when sourcing (and text) is supplied. The organization has existed since the early 19th century and I think sources are available, but difficult to tease out because of different names. Historically important, e.g. during Reconstruction and in the founding of Hillsdale College. Jahaza (talk) 21:37, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

The result was merge to UFO conspiracy theories#1990s. The consensus is merge. There are two suggested targets. UFO conspiracy theories#1990s appears the most appropriate as it has held information about the Branton Files since 2005. SilkTork (talk) 10:41, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

- Merge - I think this probably does meet WP:GNG, but I couldn't find enough coverage to support a full article, especially under the title "Branton Files" which is not used by the three cited books or any other source I could identify. Thus, I would recommend a merge to UFO_conspiracy_theories#1990s. Suriname0 (talk) 20:03, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

- Merge to Reptilian conspiracy theory. Not known by this title, but could be retitled to Branton (conspiracy theorist), Bruce A. Walton (said to be his real name) or, preferably, his main work The Omega Files. Realistically, even though there are short section in the current article and here, his reptilian/Nazi conspiracy theory can be adequately summarized from those materials in the existing article on the conspiracy theory. czar 00:20, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Merge as above. There is scant information for this conspiracy theory to rate a stand-alone article. I found a reference to this in Supernatural Magazine where the reviewer noted that Branton claims "...Government scientists purportedly labor alongside an occupying alien force to work out the sundry ways the general population aboveground can be brought under an ultimate totalitarian control, all of which began with a 1947 treaty signed by President Harry Truman – the government obtained alien technological secrets in exchange for permitting the aliens to abduct human subjects for their diabolical research...." The three citations in the article as of this writing are all about different conspiracy theories with no single reference exclusively dealing with this one. Blue Riband► 02:44, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Does this series of separate articles really need to exist? At the moment, they do not really justify their own existence.

Fails WP:BIO due to a lack of in-depth, secondary, independent, reliable coverage. The subject is a British nobleman who does not qualify for WP:NPOL due to inheriting his current title in 2013. The sources in the article are a passing mention (obituary), a self-published peerage website, and a BEFORE only turned up a Spectator article [2] which mentions him in one paragraph, which is insufficient given that WP:SPECTATOR pieces are treated as opinion pieces.

- Delete. As always, films do not all get an automatic free pass over WP:NFILM just because they exist — they have to show evidence of significance, supported by WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage. But the only notability claim being attempted here is film awards from minor film festivals, referenced to their own self-published websites about themselves or the filmmaker's paid promotional press releases rather than proper media coverage to establish the notability of said festivals, and the rest of the sourcing just ain't cutting it otherwise. Even "film notable because awards" still requires the awards to be notable awards. Bearcat (talk) 14:53, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

The result was soft delete. Deletion is supported, and not clearly opposed. There has been detailed discussion and search for sources to try to establish what exists at the location, though nothing clear has been established, other than there appears to have been a community at one time around a mill which may or may not continue to exist. This is a form of soft delete - the article may be undeleted into Draft space on request, from where it may be moved into main space after passing review. SilkTork (talk) 13:41, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Here is pic of Fletcher's Mill, circa 1870, Fletchers Mill, VA. There is also 2015-garden-dialogues-sperryville-va-house-at-fletcher-s-mill, so yes Fletcher's Mill is in or near Sperryville. It is not separately listed on the NRHP, but I am checking if it is in Sperryville Historic District (Nrhp doc is slow to download). --Doncram (talk) 02:09, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- The modern design house named "Fletcher's Mill Residence", presumably thereabouts, has sources Residential Dsign Magazine article, https://richardwilliamsarchitects.com/FLETCHER-S-MILL. Still downloading. --Doncram (talk) 02:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- From the NRHP doc: "By 1910 Sperryville reached its prime. Four churches stood within the bustling village: two Baptist, one Episcopal, and one Methodist. The town had five general stores, five com and flour mills, pal, and one Methodist. The town had five general stores, five com and flour mills, a jeweler arid watch maker, a saw mill , several furniture dealers as well as a number of blacksmiths-wheelwrights. However, the growth was abruptly halted in 1911 when the Snoot tannery closed...". The district appears to include Zirkle Mill but has no mention of Fletcher's; I presume Fletcher's is outside... oh, its coordinates put it 1.8 miles away by Google maps. It is on the Thornton River. There are a few houses there, including 9 Fletcher's Mill Rd. with elaborate formal gardens behind, and 17 Fletcher's Mill Rd, and there's a building on "Short Rd." which from Google Streetview appears to be a horse barn. Three roads make a triangle: Sperryville Pike (U.S. Route 522) and those two mentioned. Seems to me like a location, i guess you would call it an unincorporated place.
- There's a photo and passage about a visit to Fletcher's Mill in 1919 article in American Miller. The miller, then, a Mr. Wayland, had a house and farm nearby, no mention of more community then. Any historic mill like that would be a significant landmark, a place of note, anyhow. Maybe merge/redirect to Thornton River? --Doncram (talk) 02:41, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Just out of curiosity, what gave you the idea to treat it as a location or "unincorporated place" instead of just a mill? –dlthewave ☎ 04:15, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Uh, because there is a Wikipedia article which was saying it is an unincorporated community until you just changed it, and a Gnis source. Does Gnis cover individual mills? What does the Gnis source mean? And by a deletion nominator changing what the article says, stripping some stuff out, during the AFD (which is usually confusing and I think not recommended), does that mean u support it being an article about a mill? If so, could you please withdraw the AFD, as there are no other "delete" votes. If you want to continue the AFD, please add back what you removed.
- The mill is also listed List of wheat and corn mills registered with the Dairy and Food Division of the Department of Agriculture and Immigration of Virginia in July 1911, July 1912 as having a guaranteed daily capacity of 24 bbls. (barrels?) of flour and 75 bus. (bushels?) of meal (cornmeal?), with the latter footnoted to say that it was below minimum capacity, whatever that means (did that mean it was guaranteeing 75 bus. production but that was below its actual maximum capacity?). That was for James H. Fletcher of Sperryville, VA. --Doncram (talk) 05:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- And it has a different level of registration [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Bulletin/n8gcAQAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Fletcher%27s+Mill+in+Sperryville,+Virginia&pg=RA1-PA4&printsec=frontcover in similar list for the year July 1914-June 30, 1915
- The place or unincorporated community or mill, on Virginia Route 620 (which the Fletcher Mill Rd. is designated), is also the put-in place for a 7 miles (11 km) class II and III whitewater run (page 149 of Adventure Guide to Virginia by Leonard M. Atkins, Hunter Publishing Inc., 1998
- And it is also a place in a 1988 Paddler's Guide by H. Roger Corbett
- and there is also coverage (but I can't see how much) in 1976 Back to Nature in Canoes
- And it is a place in another Canoeing Whitewater guide from 1974
- And it is covered in a 1987 Appalachian Whitewater book, which also mentions that during the American Civil War that Southern troops camped by the Thornton River in Sperryville, perhaps meaning this spot but I can't see.
- And it appears in (but I can't see how much coverage there is) in Fact, Fiction, Foolishishness in Rappahannock County Virginia, or something like that by Elizabeth Branch Johnson, looks like a local history book.
- So it is seeming to me to be a known place, as well as having been a mill. Google satellite view suggests to me that the mill is gone; it didn't look good in the 2018 photo linked above, but once notable always notable applies. --Doncram (talk) 05:47, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- I removed the "unincorporated community" description as it had no reliable source. GNIS is unreliable for "feature class" designations because yes, the database does erroneously list mills and other random buildings that appear on topo maps as "populated places".
- I hoped my question would help you take a step back and ask yourself whether the sourcing that we have (excluding GNIS) treats this as an actual community. Mills, stores, crossroads, etc are often used as landmarks in rural areas even though they don't usually meet our notability standards, and unfortunately I'm just not seeing enough direct coverage of the subject itself to justify an article. I might change my mind if such sources can be found.
- As for the location, the 2018 photo appears to match this spot on the satellite view which is consistent with American Miller's description of the water source as a small stream. –dlthewave ☎ 12:39, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Ah, well, good that the mill seems to survive, on what is labelled as Beaver Dam Creek in Google satellite view which i think is 2022 imaging. That makes sense that the creek would have been blocked by a dam for the mill, rather than the river being blocked. That's more than 100 yards away from the river, in trees, and not likely visible from the river or the point given in coordinates in the Fletcher Dam article or the closeby point that Google gives when one searches on Fletchers Mill. So actually that tends to mean that "Fletchers Mill" is a bigger place, like a community, when stated as the location for canoe put-in onto the river, IMHO. --Doncram (talk) 20:41, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

The result was soft delete. The proposal to delete is supported, and not clearly opposed. There has been research conducted to show that a mill existed at one time, plus some other dwellings, but no assertions as to existing notability. This is a form of soft delete - the article may be undeleted into Draft space on request, from where it may be moved into main space after passing review. In order to pass review and be accepted, there would need to be sufficient content supported by reliable sources which indicate current notability according to our inclusion criteria.

- Maybe not huge amounts of coverage but...
- Site of a historical original mill with the rare original milling equipment inside, has an article in the Society of Architectural Historians Archipedia.
- Is the subject of a P. Buckley Moss print called - Whispers of Our Past.
- Perhaps not a populated place now but was a populated place in Virginia history, see Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Under the Editorial Supervision of Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Volume 5, Page 893.
- Appears in various Virginia history books like Old Homes in Frederick County.
- Sometimes I'm a Keeper of Things around here so I am leaning toward Keep. The now somewhat-forgotten, now-unpopulated places maybe shouldn't be "erased" from Wikipedia... Shearonink (talk) 16:15, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- This might be enough to establish GNG notability. Keep in mind that we don't have a reliable source saying that it was a populated place or community (I don't think the owner's nearby home counts), so the article would just be about the mill. –dlthewave ☎ 18:40, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- Found some more:

- Virginia State DHS Frederick County Rural Landmarks Survey contains the following text:
- The complex of buildings at Kline's Mill 34-160 includes:
- the log and stone mill, two brick miller's houses, a board and batten building used as a post office and several farm outbuildings. The mill, which is log on a raised stone basement, was constructed in 1794 and is one of the few in the area that survived the Civil War. The other buildings date to the mid- and late nineteenth century. Along with the complex at Bartonsville, this is the finest eighteenth- and nineteenth-century mill/industrial complex in the county.
- So, at one time Klines Mill Virginia (or Kline's Mill - have to look for both spellings when doing research) was a settlement, a known place, with at least 2 houses (the ones the VA DHS mentions are brick so they survived and - don't know for sure but - there could have been other wooden houses. Wooden buildings were popular to pull down and use for whatever during and after the Civil War in Virginia) plus there is that now-abandoned post office...

- how can a place/a Mill that has a painting/print by P.

- not be notable?
- It is possible somehow that as an unincorporated community "Kline's Mill" is not notable in the present-day, but the complex of buildings, the place historically known as Kline's Mill is notable.

The result was procedural close. Of the three commenters, two stated that they felt this should not have been a bundled nomination. With low participation and several relists, it's clear the format of this AFD is preventing wider community participation.

- Comment I find it difficult to consider these as a group - some have at least one "decent" reference (from Cigar Aficionado magazine), and since these articles are from around 2006 there may be other sources. Others have zero references, and after a short review might be quickly deleted. A fair amount of WP:BEFORE is going to be needed. Having taken a look at some of these and at articles for other cigar brands it does look to me that the only information is going to come from cigar magazines, which are as pretty much about promotion, but I assume that's the same for other types of products. (There are occasional mentions in business news sources, but that relates to the company, not the product.) I suggest considering this one, which is in relatively good shape, which might help us all understand what sources are needed for cigar notability. Lamona (talk) 18:35, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Lamona: The article of Cigar Aficionado looks like an advertisement, and most of the sources in the article are from its own website, so I don't know how relevant that magazine is. NytharT.C 19:25, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- User:Nythar I definitely hear you. At the same time, I think that CA is one of those magazines, like wine magazines and fashion magazines, that essentially exist as advertisements. But I don't know where such magazines stand as sources, but this one isn't on the list of Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources, nor is the wine magazine by the same editor. I looked at the WP Cigar Aficionado article and it is entirely sourced to itself (with one exception that doesn't support notability). I've added the "needs 3rd party sources" tag.

Created by a UPE. Fails WP:NFILM – multiple reviews are required – here, awards in non-notable ROTM festivals and coverage is tagged as "news desk", so probably paid for. Michalis Andreou (talk) 20:24, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. As always, films do not all get an automatic free pass over WP:NFILM just because they exist — they have to show evidence of significance, supported by WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage. But the only notability claim being attempted here is film awards from minor film festivals, referenced to their own self-published websites about themselves rather than proper media coverage to establish the notability of said festivals, and the rest of the sourcing just ain't cutting it otherwise. Even "film notable because awards" still requires the awards to be notable awards. Bearcat (talk) 14:54, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Subject fails GNG, ANYBIO, and WP:FILMMAKER. This article had been redirected to the article about the "Sabriya" TV series for which he has known but Lostinniagarafalls reverted that, so I'm asking for deletion as redirects are costly. My issue with the sources is that most citations are not about the subject. Those that are about the subject are either not reliable (like IMDb) or they seem to be crass, paid-for, churnalism which merely provide key data about the subject with flattering photos of the subject probably at the behest of the subject.

Moved to draft space as 'not ready' but immediately moved back to main without much, if any, improvement. A 'naive' search reveals only information about the parent company and the first result was to that company's Wikipedia article (List of television and radio stations owned by TV5 Network).

Page about me is inaccurate causing it to be libelous. I am not an investment counselor, I am a retired cybersecurity professional. The RI company Locke Capital Management was closed in 2008. I was the wrongful target of an SEC civil lawsuit 15 years ago due to required compliance records for a large Swiss client being destroyed by a then business partner who was Chief Operating Officer. The SEC won a summary judgment in a process that did not see the truthful mitigating evidence because evidence is not considered in a summary judgement and the Defendants could not afford legal representation which would have directed the outcome of the case appropriately. The Wikipedia page also suggests that I was involved with passport fraud. I was advised to change my name on my passport due to marriage when it came up for renewal and it was time to apply for my UK visa. I did nothing inappropriate in making an application for a new passport in November 2009. However and most unfortunately, false documents containing information unbeknownst to me were found later with my application and on my former business partner's computer during a subsequent government search. That information was wrongly attributed to me due to prosecutorial misconduct. When the government's mistake was discovered during the appeal process, the appeal was disallowed for being filed in the wrong legal format. As defendant I had no legal counsel for advice on how to file the appeal.
Please help me by deleting this page. I don't know who put it up or why but it was done recently - not 15 years ago. I remain a victim of ID Theft and Fraud perpetrated by the former business partner who created the above legal issues, and is now teamed up with my angry sister. During the time I had a restraining order against my sister, she went to a bank in Rhode Island, gave them false information about me, and bullied them into closing one of my accounts and giving the money to her. I just want the horrible actions still ongoing in my life to stop. Deleting this page would be extremely helpful.

- Delete This article is based mostly on a press release, wedding announcements, and primary sources, and the investigations section appears to
give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view
per WP:BLP1E. I removed the minimally-sourced passport allegation per WP:BLPCRIME because the subject of this article does not appear to be a public figure. WP:GNG/WP:BASIC does not appear to be adequately supported with significant coverage in independent and reliable sources, including based on my own online search. Beccaynr (talk) 23:18, 25 September 2022 (UTC) - Radical edit required: This article only gives weight to the legal processes surrounding Locke. There are almost no media references that comment upon Jenkins, though formal documents confirm her directorship(s) and the legal processes themseves. Indeed, some are to media home pages where she is not mentioned, and a couple are dead links. At present this has the feeling of a page constructed to attack Jenkins, masquerading as an article. It does appear that Jenkins may be notable in a Wikipedia sense, however. Following a radical edit we will start to see what is what.
Because I believe Jenkins to be inherently notable, I default to Keep, certainly at present🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:25, 26 September 2022 (UTC)- Timtrent, if there "are almost no media references that comment upon Jenkins", what independent and reliable secondary sources support notability? Beccaynr (talk) 12:48, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- As an update, with thanks to Timtrent for highlighting the poor quality of the sourcing in the article, I have attempted to radically edit the article, and it appears that no amount of editing can overcome the lack of notability for this subject. Beccaynr (talk) 15:29, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Beccaynr Thank you for your edits. I can also see no RS references. I wonder that I ever could. I am conflicted. I have not altered my 'Keep' !vote because something in my water suggests to me that Jenkins is notable. Even with useless references she just needs to be notable.
- The conflict is that I wish to accede to "someone's" request to take an allegedly incorrect article down, plus I have no idea that the IP is Jenkins, and I also see what verges on a legal threat in the nomination. Stating that an article is libellous suggests action against the alleged libel may be taken or may be threatened. I do not like to see any person prosper from legal threats, but nor do I wish to see a genuine attack page remain here. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:24, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for your follow up, Timtrent - per WP:NLT,
It is important to refrain from making comments that others may reasonably understand as a legal threat
, andless charged wording
by the nominator would best serve this discussion. With our current inability to confirm their identity, and what seem to be some errant claims about the legal process generally in the nomination statement, I focused on apparent assertions of a lack of notability and (poorly-phrased) WP:BLP policy concerns, although WP:BUSINESSPERSONOUTCOME may also be relevant to consider with regard to whether any inherent notability can be supported. Beccaynr (talk) 18:48, 26 September 2022 (UTC)- @Beccaynr Perhaps I am influenced by the lack of ability to confirm the requestor, coupled with an aversion to legal threats, real or implied. I do not feel we should accede to a random IP;s deletion request.
- Oddly, the IP is creating the Streisand effect in a small way here, which is interesting 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:11, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Timtrent, I have no objection to a procedural close of this discussion (without prejudice to a future nomination) due to what could be reasonably understood as a legal threat in the nomination statement. Beccaynr (talk) 22:05, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Beccaynr An uninvolved editor, perhaps admin, should do that. I would support that as a move. Something here has a nasty smell about it, and I am unsure whether it is the article as was, or the nomination. I think it is a useful suggestion. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:27, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- I will not stop another administrator from closing this, but I will say as the opening administrator that if I had found the "libelous" claim to be anything approaching a legal threat I would have simply blocked the IP and not started this discussion. I believe that a lot of people misunderstand the term, and simply use it to display their displeasure with the current situation (e.g. I have seen some VRTS tickets claim that an incorrect DOB was libellous). Regarding the identity of the IP - if someone points out the inaccuracies in a page, and asks that it be deleted, I do not think it is our job to determine whether they are who they say they are; that aspect really only comes into play for close decisions via WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. A clear "delete" or "keep" result will happen regardless of who nominated the page in the first place. Primefac (talk) 09:13, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- I am now more comfortable with this reaching whatever final outcome it reaches. Thank you. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 10:37, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, Primefac, I have no doubt you would have blocked, and I was referencing BLPREQUESTDELETE too obliquely with regard to the identity issue in my comment above. As this AfD discussion developed, I became concerned about whether the formation of WP:ROUGHCONSENSUS would be impaired to the point that we should just start over, because of the potential for the nomination statement to create an undue influence on the discussion, and perhaps because of dynamics specific to AfD. My thought was if we develop a local consensus of !voters uncomfortable with assessing the article, then that may support a procedural close and starting a new discussion. My neverending to-do list includes renominating AfDs with apparent procedural issues, and I figured I could add this one to the list. Thanks again, Beccaynr (talk) 16:22, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

- I have considered long and hard and researched Jenkins thoroughly. I can find no sources that refer to anything other than the scandal. It is clear that this took place, the the circunstances surrounding Jenkins in it are less clear. That scandal may itself be worthy of an article (caused by the Streisand effect) but Jenkins is not.

I agree a standalone page is not notable here, but there are clear options here that don't involve taking all of these to AFD. Deus et lex (talk) 11:55, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- While, ATD options exist, this article is part of a larger mess, and unilateral WP:BOLD actions may be inappropriate. A newbie editor has mass created several mall articles, with a list of red links suggesting many more to come. At least 5 other articles are already at AfD, with multiple contested ProDs and at least one outstanding ProD.

- There is no mention of the shopping centre in the article you have suggested as redirect target. Ajf773 (talk) 20:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- There doesn't have to be a mention in the redirect target article. An article on the suburb can validly have content relating to the shopping centres there where the centre is not notable. I don't understand why this is such a problem? Deus et lex (talk) 05:37, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- Of course there needs to be mention in the target article. What use is there to a would-be searcher taking them to an article which doesn't even mention the thing that they searched for. I make no comment on whether such a mention would be appropriate or justified but without a merge or a brief mention then redirection is not appropriate. A7V2 (talk) 06:50, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- The mention can be done later (or in fact, you could easily do it yourself...). A redirection to the suburb article is entirely appropriate - it is a valid alternative to deletion. Deus et lex (talk) 06:42, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- While, ATD options exist, this article is part of a larger mess, and unilateral WP:BOLD actions may be inappropriate. A newbie editor has mass created several mall articles, with a list of red links suggesting many more to come. At least 5 other articles are already at AfD, with multiple contested ProDs and at least one outstanding ProD. I left a message on the creator's talk page asking them to at least slow down. • Gene93k (talk) 19:45, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. The subject is a WP:run-of-the-mill mini mall. With zero RS coverage apparent, it too unremarkable to be a plausible search term. • Gene93k (talk) 23:01, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - you haven't shown that the redirect is not inappropriate. The suburb name is an entirely reasonable redirect and the shopping centre could well be a search term. The incessant "run of the mill" quotes every time someone puts up a shopping centre article for AfD is nauseating and no one ever considers alternatives. I don't understand why it is such a big issue to think before just arguing delete. Deus et lex (talk) 11:55, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Deus et lex: A mini mall with only the most routine directory and transport interest meets the definition of unremarkable. There is nothing to support the term as a significant feature of the proposed target to make it plausible for a Wikipedia search. The article is commercial fluff, and deletion is the cleaner option. • Gene93k (talk) 17:47, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- There is already content at the proposed redirect target. I am not supportive of keeping the article but Wikipedia has policies that alternatives to deletion must be explored. In this case it has not occurred so redirection is entirely appropriate. Deus et lex (talk) 02:19, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose redirection to Caulfield, Victoria unless mention is added there. No benefit to anyone searching this without content being added. No comment on deletion. A7V2 (talk) 06:50, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - "no benefit to anyone" is not a reason for opposing the redirect. You need to show that it's inappropriate. A person typing in the name of the shopping centre can easily be redirected to the suburb. It makes sense and you haven't shown it is not appropriate. Deus et lex (talk) 06:40, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- There is nothing to show. It is self-evidently inappropriate to redirect something to an article which neither mentions nor discusses that thing. The reasons for a redirect can be found at WP:RPURPOSE, if none of them are met then the burden would be on you to say why it is appropriate (or to point to which purpose is being met in this instance). The reason it is of no benefit (and indeed is actively unhelpful) is because someone searching this will not find any information about what they are looking for. I don't know what you mean by "A person typing in the name of the shopping centre can easily be redirected to the suburb", or how that is relevant. That is all moot if information is added to the target (and the information is appropriate there but I offer no opinion on whether or not this is the case), but this should not be redirected before that happens. As to your comment above about me doing it, I am not the one advocating for redirection. I don't care either way if the content is added to the other article, only that we don't create redirects to inappropriate targets. A7V2 (talk) 09:10, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

- @Bohnbeamer: (who reopened the AfD). You should be aware that the AfD was created by me, and legitimately withdrawn. The outcome is leading to a redirect, and was supported by the article's author. You also have five edits to your name, which I find very suspicious. Ajf773 (talk) 19:52, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Ajf773: (who closed the AfD against the closure instructions), WP:CLOSEAFD states a nominator can withdraw an AfD, but only
it all other viewpoints expressed were for Keep and doing so does not short-circuit any ongoing discussion
- As votes other than Keep had been cast, withdrawing the nomination was no longer a legitimate option. The only way it can now be closed is by an uninvolved editor. Would have thought somebody who has an extensive involvement in AfDs would be more familiar with the rules. Bohnbeamer (talk) 02:17, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
- I could still withdraw the AfD and then redirect the article. There's practically no difference. All the responses are leading for the article to be redirected. Perhaps you might like to contribute to this discussion yourself as it it clear to me that don't favour this outcome. Ajf773 (talk) 08:46, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Dream Focus's keep vote seems at odds with both WP:NOTDIRECTORY and the fact that Category:Swimming venues in Hungary exists to resolve those navigational needs. — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. 23:04, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- WP:NOTDIRECTORY does not apply, that's about including phone numbers, opening hours, etc., which this list does not. --Doncram (talk) 01:53, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates explains why you shouldn't delete a list just because there is a category. This list article shows far more information than a category can, so is more useful. Its short size is not a valid reason to delete it. Dream Focus 23:19, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. DreamFocus is right, including pointing to wp:CLNT. Better to have a list-article, helping to head off creation of stub articles on individual ones, or allowing their redirection to a row in this. Also, a swimming pool is a thing, and it is okay/good to have a list of them split out from main article, and okay to split that list by country. Combining all swimming pool lists would be too big, see Category:Lists of swimming pools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doncram (talk • contribs) 21:52, September 19, 2022 (UTC)
- The list has grown to cover 11 pools at 6 facilities, and there is a draft for a worldwide list at Draft:List of swimming pools which links out to separate lists by country. If it were in mainspace, merging this Hungary list would be a possibility, but this is probably already too large. Discretion has to be left for editors working in the topic area, when to split out vs. merge country lists. --Doncram (talk) 22:59, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

The only coverage of Gillespie that I could find was a 1919 article in the Copper Era promising the upcoming construction of a townsite, however it doesn't appear that anything beyond a rail siding was ever actually built at this spot. I did find one article about a "town" which turned out to be a glorified work camp for the Gillespie Dam, 12 miles away, a different topic entirely that should be covered in the article about the dam. –dlthewave ☎ 15:37, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

I did find a mention of Gillespie, Arizona in a 2011 solar farm proposal (that seems to be referring to approximately the same geographic area west of the dam), but the actual documentation refers to townships, which makes me wonder if they just pulled "Gillespie, Arizona" from Google Maps (who pulled it from Wikidata, presumably). Plenty of mentions of other people named Gillespie in the Arizona Memory Project, but from a quick sample I couldn't find any references to a town or other place where people actually lived. Suriname0 (talk) 17:09, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Gillespie Dam. Gillespie seems to have been a paper town, nothing more. Neither the 1925 Rand McNally Premiere Atlas of the World nor the 1960 World Book atlas of Arizona give population figures or even list Gillespie in their list of communities, and each of those sources list Arizona settlements down into the single digits. There never was a community here, and MB's addition of the plans for the community on Gillespie Dam seems sufficient. Firsfron of Ronchester 18:14, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Cricketer fails WP:NCRIC which only seems to cover international level. Non-international cricket is delt with by WP:OFFICIALCRICKET, however sri lanka first-class cricket is not on the list of notable first-class cricket so they also fail WP:OFFICIALCRICKET.

- Comment - Does this individual fail guidelines these days? I see Sri Lankan domestic competitions aren't on the list of recognized tournaments on the men's domestic trophies section. Which seems strange, as I'm assuming this could lead to mass-deletions of almost every non-Test playing Sri Lankan domestic cricketer... Bobo. 15:00, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- Please do not feign ignorance. As you are well aware, having participated in many of the relevant discussions (and complained many times about the consensus results), only international cricketers for Test playing nations meet WP:NCRIC/WP:NSPORT, and all sports biographies must demonstrate at least one instance of significant coverage in a reliable (non-database) source that is independent of the subject – and ultimately GNG/BASIC must be met, so reasonable evidence that multiple instances exist should be shown at AFD. There is also an easy alternative to deletion in most of these cases, but it would require interested parties to create appropriate lists. Absent of that happening, WP really doesn't lose anything by deleting these database entry mirrors. wjematherplease leave a message... 18:47, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

- It's been local policy to redirect to a list page if a player is deemed to fail WP:GNG as a valid WP:ATD. The Cricket WikiProject is one of the most complete of all the projects, and with the NSPORTS changes it has been agreed that redirect to lists is the preferred choice if their is a suitable target, and then adding prose to the lists. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:01, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Hitting random in a WP:O catergory has given me another couple of similar cricket pages I ignored while this AfD was in progress. I don’t want to unnecessarily use AfD if an alternative exists but don’t understand how the redirect to lists avoids WP:NOTDATABASE. I don’t want to bring that into this discussion but if you have a link to somewhere this was previously discussed/ policy I haven't seen it would be appreciated. Thanks, Carver1889 (talk) 14:35, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- Sadly calling our project anywhere near "complete" is a route we can never go down. But you cannot blame content creators for that. In theory, we could make the cricket project "complete" just by writing a skeleton article for every first-class cricketer, as it is there are thousands of cricketers missing. I'll come back to 02blythed, the way that they were treated while contributing articles was absolutely disgusting - looking through their overall contributions sees them having created 561 articles all told in just two short bursts of editing in 2007-08 and 2016-17. I hate the way they were so obviously bullied off the project. Bobo. 19:31, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- WP:ATD-M, for example, applies here - we can use tables or notes, for example, to add a little detail about a person to a list. If they're appropriate for fictional characters, they're certainly appropriate for people like this I think. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:58, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to Moors Sports Club per WP:ATD-R or merge into it per WP:ATD-M. WP:ATD is part of deletion policy. In the absence of an actual list, the club article will suffice. BoJó | talk UTC 20:29, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Given this is such a comprehensively insignificant player in the clubs history, any kind of mention in the club article would be grossly WP:UNDUE and without a mention there a redirect would be inappropriate and unhelpful. wjematherplease leave a message... 15:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

MergeKeepto Media coverage of the Arab–Israeli conflict. Here is another ref. Changed !vote in view of much improved referencing. Selfstudier (talk) 15:01, 25 September 2022 (UTC)- Delete per General notability guideline: "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected." In this case only one source is reliable. The blog, Tikun Olam, has a mixed record of reliability. It is not possible to base a balanced article on one or two sources writing about a specific aspect, in this case it's relationship with Israeli intelligence. TFD (talk) 18:26, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per notability; I had only added two sources because it was a first edit, but I have just added five other sources that confirm that (as said in the Hebrew Wikipedia version of the article), as of September 2022, it is the Telegram channel with the most views per post in Israel[1], and stories first published by Abu Ali Express have been often reproduced in the mainstream Israeli media, including in Maariv,[2] Globes,[3] Ynet,[4] Arutz Sheva,[5] as well as on Israeli television.[6] Dan Palraz (talk) 13:30, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per 'In May 2021, during the Israeli-Gaza war, the channel hit a record of 6.7 million views per day, posting many exclusive articles during the fighting, which were then cited by many media outlets.[3]' That shows that it has extraordinary influence. Several sources have since been added. Deletion is not an option because the mediatic angle figures as influential as an instrument of psychological warfare. Merge of course is an option, but I suggest this is the kind of article that has an intrinsic interest, and merits some patience to give the editor time to strengthen its sourcing.Nishidani (talk) 21:41, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

- Considering he was with the Empire label and released 2 albums on the label (1 posthumous) wouldn't he pass notability per 5. Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable) of WP:NSINGER. The coverage about his death also present him as an already notable figure, calling him by his artist name and citing his popularity. Célestin Denis (talk) 18:42, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- Empire is not so much a label as it is a client distribution service. It is used by both major labels and unsigned, independent contractors as a way of getting their music out on their own dime. That appears to be the case for this artist. ShelbyMarion (talk) 19:18, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Has the topic of people gaining coverage from their death being announced been brought up in the past?

Sources on page are all primaries/commercial save for the charting.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Meltzer (writer) ended with no consensus because two votes dismissed it given the sockpuppet account behind the nomination, but without much else for arguments. The point was raised about being an award recipient but with a counterargument that neither award are themself significant enough to count toward an ANYBIO pass. Tagging Kevin Winzer, BilletsMauves, and Extraordinary Writ, my fellow non-sock participants in the prior AfD. My argument remains the same (only one source for SIGCOV) though with the added note that the article is also an ORPHAN, and I'm also changing my vote to redirect to Dave Meltzer (the sports journalist, which is a type of writing); my initial participation in the first AfD was based on assuming it was about him anyway.

- Correction to an above statement: Only one of the two keep votes mentioned the sockpuppet issue. Both of them called the nomination bad faith but not for the same reason (the other was the ANYBIO argument based on the awards). QuietHere (talk) 13:39, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

- Delete for the same reason as in the first AfD:
I don't think either of the listed awards are "well-known and significant" for purposes of WP:ANYBIO: the Ellis Island Medal of Honor has thousands of recipients, and the Variety "Sports Humanitarian of the Year" does not appear to be a noteworthy honor. The Forbes article linked above is unreliable per WP:FORBESCON. The remaining sources cited in the article all appear to be unreliable/non-independent or only passing mentions, and my search for GNG-qualifying coverage didn't turn up anything that is independent (not, e.g., an interview or press release), is reliable, and discusses Meltzer in detail. Not notable, as far as I can tell.
I'm not averse to a redirect, but since there's both a poet and a journalist (either of whom could be described as a writer but neither of whom commonly is described as a writer) in addition to the subject of this AfD, I think it'd cause more trouble than it's worth. If we do decide to redirect, it should probably be to the David Meltzer disambiguation page. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:07, 25 September 2022 (UTC)- Didn't think of the dab page, that's honestly a great point and an even better target which I'm in support of.

- Delete b/c there's no evidence of notability. And with regards to the awards, they are both not overly notable and unrelated to the subject's writing and producing of TV shows. Since the subject's claim to fame is with regards to writing and producing TV shows, In my opinion these awards don't qualify under Wikipedia:Notability (people) b/c they are unrelated to that.--SouthernNights (talk) 12:40, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep and rename it to David Meltzer (executive). He is not a full-time writer/producer rather is known for his contributions in sports industry, founding Sports1 with Warren Moon and a major contributor to the development PC-EPhone, a notable device which was a forerunner to smartphone (founded a NYT article). So, a coverage related to his work as a CEO of major companies must exist in the newspapers' archives - one have to lookup. Combined notability passes WP:GNG imo. 142.126.241.149 (talk) 20:52, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- His name is only mentioned twice in passing at the end of that article and it isn't talking about him as a person. Even if the phone is notable, that doesn't mean he is. See WP:INHERIT for that. Same goes for the company. I would support the rename if there was a GNG pass, but you haven't actually provided the coverage needed to earn that pass and you can't just proclaim that cover "must exist" without actually searching for and linking to it. That's not a safe assumption. QuietHere (talk) 23:22, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Keep Already provided 2 review of the books from 2 different news paper. So according to WP:NBOOK the subject is meeting criteria. Samir Bishal (talk) 17:40, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- From when did B2C and B2B magazines started publishing book reviews on LGBTQ topics? Anyway, the review from MoneyControl.com is a contributor post, not by staff reporter and the other link is simply unreliable. Sorry, none of the criteria of WP:NBOOK is meeting here. Haueirlan (talk) 18:35, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- Draftify Article can pass WP:NBOOK but as it stands it is not suitable for mainspace. Needs more material than just two quotes from book reviews. I was able to find more sources and material including some really great reaction videos and longer reviews. I think drafting is a good compromise here. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 11:56, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- If the article can pass the Wikipedia book guidelines and as you say merely needs improvement, then it should never have been brought up for an AfD in the first place. An AfD isn't a forum for how an article can be improved and the notability of an article's subject exists separate from the state the article is in. As such, drafting isn't a good compromise, it's merely another bad route to take in all this. This AfD should be closed as a keep and then if people want to improve the article they can.--SouthernNights (talk) 13:53, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
Keep As Samir Bishal stated, this book easily meets notability guidelines. In addition to the citations shared by Samir Bishal a quick search also turned up articles focused on this book in GQ India, Vogue India, and many more places. --SouthernNights (talk) 13:48, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

- (ec) Keep and improve. Three top-10 albums and ten top-10 singles, but before the internet era. Oricon is the main national chart in Japan, so contrary to the comment on Oricon's status as a database, the rankings do help show that this group passes WP:BAND. A significant number of sources should be available on paper in Japanese. Dekimasuよ! 04:36, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Dekimasu: that's a WP:SOURCESEXIST argument. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみ, ping me when replying 08:02, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- I agree with your point to some extent! I said that additional sources exist without contributing them. I am sure there are other editors who know more about the music of this period than I do. However, notability is already established on the basis of the Oricon cite, which shows that the group passes WP:BAND #2 and #5. The Japanese Wiki notes a special on public television in Japan, which passes #12. And then separately, I am saying that I am sure this will also pass #1 (multiple, non-trivial published sources), #4 (national tour), #11 (national rotation), etc. if someone is able to dig up the sources. That comment probably indicates my doubt that WP:BEFORE could have been done sufficiently here without the ability to read Japanese. We should try to avoid systemic bias in coverage, and most problems with narrowing down sources in English could probably be solved by adding "Japan" or the name of a group member. Dekimasuよ! 11:09, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- First quick check shows that the national newspaper Mainichi Shimbun's December 20, 1989 edition (page 15, evening edition, 「ユーミンが56億円で売り上げトップ 89年レコードセールス大賞」) lists CoCo as top 3 in the yearly Nihon Record Sales Awards for the newcomer category, with 120,000 sales of their single "Equal Romance".

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 06:41, 25 September 2022 (UTC)- Weak keep/Merge, the article seems to pass the general notability guidelines though some of the sources currently in the article seem to be unreliable or primary sources. Sahaib (talk) 20:10, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Widely promoted is useful, but not an RS. We need to see news sources covering it. I'm not finding much of anything. This is about the best, it's mostly confirming who's fighting and when it happens. [6]. Like half a GNG source. Oaktree b (talk) 21:32, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete I'm not seeing significant independent coverage in reliable sources. These fight cards seem to be a bunch of non-boxers making their debuts in search of publicity. Fight announcements and reporting of results do not show WP notability. If someone can show that WP:GNG is met please let me know, otherwise this just looks promotional to me. I don't see how it meets WP:NEVENT since it doesn't have "enduring historical significance", "a significant lasting effect" (WP:LASTING), nor does it have "widespread impact" that is "widely covered in diverse sources". Papaursa (talk) 19:39, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

The result was Delete this article, and accept the draft. I actually stumbled up on the draft as part of AfC patrol but wasn't able to accept it, which is how I found this discussion. This is slightly early, but consensus is clear that the improvements to the draft rendered the nomination moot. Please give me a moment to complete the swap as I also think it pertinent to merge the histories for attribution purposes. Star Mississippi 00:35, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Jean Dawson
Singer who does not satisfy musical notability or general notability. The article does not speak for itself, and only says that he exists, so notability depends on the references. Two of them are interviews, and the other two are about albums rather than about him.
Number | Reference | Remarks | Independent | Significant | Reliable | Secondary |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | complex.com | An interview | No | Yes | Yes | No |
2 | essence.com | An interview | No | Yes | Yes | No |
3 | earmilk.com | Announcement of album | Yes | Not about the subject | Yes | No |
4 | nme.com | Review of an album | Yes | Not about the subject; yes about the album | Yes | Yes |
There is also a draft, Draft:Jean Dawson, which I have reviewed and declined. The draft contains more information than the article but does not establish notability. The subject likely is notable, but neither the article nor the draft establishes notability. There was a previous AFD that was closed on 27 August as Merge. The closer had a difficult task because the participants seemed to imply more coverage than is shown. The article now has a tag on it saying that it should be merged into the draft, but there is nothing to merge because the article has no information that is not in the draft, and neither the draft nor the article establishes notability. Either the article should be deleted and editors should be asked to improve and resubmit the draft, or the article can be expanded within seven days to be better than the current draft for a Heymann close.

- Delete the article, approve the draft: Not the draft creator but I put a lot of editing work into it so of course I want it kept, but I'll also back up Why? I Ask's search. There's plenty of coverage of the artist, not all of which made it into the draft because I was still working on it when some random IP editor clicked the submit button for no apparent reason. I do think the coverage is available to bring that draft to notability, and either way the plan from the previous AfD was to clean that up to replace the mainspace article which was an unsourced, underwritten mess to begin with. The draft had way more information in it already which would be way more useful; unfortunately most of the specific claims in there I couldn't find sourcing for so I had to cut a bunch, but I think what's there is still good. And, again, there's more coverage to add which I'll start working in now. QuietHere (talk) 07:10, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
