BEFORE showed nothing that meets SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth.
BLPs need clearly IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability to avoid abuse per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 05:57, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:NACTRESS. The sources regarding the banning largely consist of interviews which lack independence from the subject, and/or are from media known for being paid news which are inherently unreliable. The reviews of her roles as an actress only mention her among a list of actors, or in passing and are entirely superficial. In short, this is a non-notable person.4meter4 (talk) 17:16, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Does not appear to be notable, nothing found in a BEFORE. Tagged for notability since 2016.
Previous PROD in 2020 was removed with rationale "Aired on MTV (British and Irish TV channel) (national network) likely meets WP:NTV. WP:V is not a valid WP:DEL-REASON." But, nothing to address that likelihood has been added in the 3 years since." DonaldD23 talk to me 22:33, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

- DELETE - WP:NTV is an essay not a guideline. It has no relevance. And imo the notability guidelines for TV shows are far too lax with routine coverage being used to justify articles with no real value. But even that essay that states "a national television program might not be notable if it was cancelled too quickly to have garnered any media coverage or airs on a minor secondary cable channel". I'd say it qualifies for both of those, seemingly lasting 8 episodes only and MTV UK being a minor pay tv network rather than a free to air national channel. Page has no citations or references, any discussion is going to be Routine Coverage. It's had 7 years tagged for improvement. It's not going to happen. Delete.

Created again for the umpteenth time. All of the sources are extremely promotional and clearly not independent of the subject. Does not pass WP:NACTOR or WP:NMUSICIAN. Pop Queen of Latvia is not enough for WP:ANYBIO, if it is even a real award at all. I would ask everyone to read the previous AfD before commenting here if they can; there was clear consensus that there is a real push for Tsopei to have an article here, hence why all of these promotional articles keep getting posted across all of these different sites. A lot of the articles duplicate each other too; BCI 24 News is basically the same as Fun Views Online (Wordpress blog). Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 22:17, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

WP:NOPAGE, does not meet notability criteria for a Wikipedia article. This podcast has had only passing coverage in reliable secondary sources (stuff like "Check out this clip from this podcast"). Almost everything cited as a source currently is unreliable (such as IMDB or fan pages) or a primary source (the podcast itself). It also misrepresents the sources it cites — eg, it claims the podcast has had positive reviews, then cites a MusicRadar article that merely mentions that the podcast exists without offering any critical appraisal.

- Delete - The article appears to be an attempted promotion for a new podcast series that just got started. Unfortunately the series has not been noticed by any reliable media, at least not yet. Many of the sources in the article are actually about the Thriller album, and not this podcast that merely talks about the album. For now it is WP:TOOSOON, at least. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:27, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

This is one of those "point-and-laugh" small-time criminal articles that represent the very worst of what's possible on Wikipedia, serving only to attract BLP violations while presenting no encyclopedic benefit. On some occasions, we are forced to maintain such articles because they pass GNG, but that is not the case here. All of the coverage is routine local news articles, each consisting of "Man gets arrested/convicted" and then a summary of past routine coverage, with the sole exception of [1], which is mostly an interview and not stated in the source's own voice.
Every city in America has a number of career criminals who gain some modicum of local interest such that they're written up whenever they're arrested. This is particularly true in Florida where, famously, the media are notified of all arrests upon booking. That kind of routine local coverage is not what "significant coverage" refers to; it's the very reason we put "significant" there. An encyclopedia has better things to do than regurgitate tabloids and crime blotters. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 05:54, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - I initially agreed with your assessment when I looked at this months ago, but there is more than local coverage. In addition to what you mentioned above, there is national coverage. Not to mention he was featured on Dr. Phil.--CNMall41 (talk) 06:41, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep (as article creator) I don't understand/agree with the "point and laugh" comment. He's a registered sex offender, who has made English and Spanish language news many times, over many years. I think this provides encyclopaedic value, based on the hundreds of visitors who read the page daily. I think he passes WP:GNG. Obviously he's not likeable, but I think he is notable. I don't think any policies or guidelines, including WP:GNG discount local coverage, so I don't understand that part of the rationale either. I also note the national coverage above. A lot of the currently cited coverage is from WFTV which is media establishment with a 65 year history, I am not very familiar with it, but my assessment was that it was a reliable source. I urge people to search for him before !voting, because from my perspective, he seems not just notable, but very notable. CT55555(talk) 06:25, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- The issue with local coverage isn't that it's local; it's that it often tends to very routine stories that don't really indicate the significance of the topic at hand. For instance, any school superintendent will receive a considerable amount of local news coverage, but they usually won't be notable, because that coverage will all be routine, without any in-depth discussion of the superintendent themself. Is there in-depth discussion of Dewitte? Are there sources that say more than "Local man arrested again"? Even the two national sources (both from marginally reliable sources for BLPs, for what it's worth) don't say much more than that. What matters is depth, not volume. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 06:33, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- The most recent news on him is this. It's 628 words, all about him. That seems like significant coverage to me. Just to give one example. CT55555(talk) 06:45, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep I agree with User:CT55555 this is WP:GNG. Barely, but the repeat offences have garnered national coverage, and he's been on national media. I added a Daily Beast article to the page to bolster this. This is no superintendent getting periodic press mentions - he's notable for his repeated crimes and has gotten substantive coverage.Oblivy (talk) 06:59, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

- Significant coverage is defined as something that "addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material" - Can you tell me how the Fox News article or being the main focus of a nationally broadcast talk show would not be considered "significant" under that criteria? --CNMall41 (talk) 22:04, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- Not UtherSRG, but: Dr. Phil is not a reliable source (very very far from it), so it doesn't matter whether that coverage is significant. The Fox piece is routine coverage of an arrest. There's not nearly enough there to build a proper biography out of. When you write a BLP based only on arrest/conviction reports, you get something that is not fair under either WP:N nor WP:BLP. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 05:05, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - Jeremy Dewitte is one of the worlds most famous police impersonators. Simple google search yields thousands of Dewitte focused webpages worldwide. He's been featured on multiple national programs including Fox, Dr. Phil, A&E Court Cam. There is a Facebook Group named "JEREMY DEWITTE / METRO STATE FAN CLUB" with 5,000 members and daily in-depth discussion. The story of Jeremy Dewitte is not a simple here today gone tomorrow character. While I can see how this may seem insignificant or local, it is my opinion that there is informational value to keeping with a significant international audience. 70.94.118.14 (talk) 00:41, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- None of those are reliable sources. There are YouTubers and other influencers with followings in the tens of millions whom we've ruled non-notable. All you're demonstrating is that the article is, as I said, of the "point-and-laugh" variety. We are here to document encyclopedically relevant information, not herd lolcows. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 02:56, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Editor is a WP:SPA who has made few other edits to Wikipedia.

- Delete on looking at the news for this person, I was surprised to see a little Wikipedia box in the google results. further surprise and dismay to see an actual article for a trivial and non-notable individual. This is a minor internet viral sensation with a smattering of coverage in local news, social media, and some news-of-the-weird coverage in real media. this qualifies IMO as a [WP:BIO1E]], a person only known for one thing, i.e. impersonating law enforcement. ValarianB (talk) 15:42, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- One event does not mean one theme of events. He has done it many times over many years, so many events, surely? CT55555(talk) 16:05, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- no, we don't tally up each criminal act, the man has "gone viral" for his overall string of impersonations. that is singular in terms of notability, otherwise we'd have every two-bit Instagram influencer here with an article. ValarianB (talk) 17:01, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- I am tallying up the events that made the news to a total of more than one. If a "two-bit Instagram influencer" made local and national news various times, for various acts, on various years, I would probably also argue that they are notable for more than one event. If someone says "one event" it is logical that I will tally up the acts, or events.
- Or let me put it a different way: when the did "one event" happen? Which year? CT55555(talk) 17:23, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Not every two-bit Instagram influencer gets featured on a national talk show or in national press based on their continuous conduct. I understand the sentiment that this guy shouldn't be notable for being a low-level criminal. However, it is his repeated conduct over the decades as a reason why the media found him worthy of notice, hence notability. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:26, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete, It is an ambiguation, Asia consists of different people and different youths. Alex-h (talk) 11:13, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, rv Move of band article and restore to this title: I don't think this was intended to be a pun. But the subject "Youth" in Asia is far too ambiguous and broad for an article subject; Japan, Russia, Mongolia, Vietnam and Uzbekistan’s only connection is physical geography and no RS with SIGCOV cover it as a single topic. Any common information wouldn't be defined by being in Asia, but would be shared by youth inside and outside Asia. Population stats are not enough for a stand alone article. I agree with above, don't think disambiguate is a good option. // Timothy :: talk 10:19, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

I can’t find any in-depth coverage in RIS for this work in either English or German. Mccapra (talk) 20:22, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Music and Switzerland. Mccapra (talk) 20:22, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep – I assume you mean RISM. Well, AFAICS they list two works by Liebermann, so their coverage is patchy. Liebermann is clearly not one of the pillars of 20th-century music, and this is a minor work, but it has been published by Universal Edition, and been performed in Europe and the US. It's mentioned in the reference book Daniels' Orchestral Music, in Grove, and in Swiss musical journals. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia should have a article about this work. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, I meant “reliable independent sources’. We need in-depth coverage of the work to sustain a stand-alone article. Without this it should simply be in a list of compositions in the composer’s bio. Mccapra (talk) 06:51, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep – The publication by Universal is a reliable independent, secondary source (the primary source is the unedited raw manuscript, score publications are edited by an independent score editor, they are not the writing of the composer himself.) There are also two known recordings, which are also to be considered reliable, independent secondary sources.
- Although the information in the article is minimal, it still provides far more information than a simple list on the composers page. As an alternative, this work could be expanded on on the composer page, but I think listing the different folksongs Liebermann incorporated in this work is already too much information for this.
- Moreover, being recorded by a very notable orchestra & conductor and the recording being published by Deutsche Grammophon, makes a work notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia.
- It may be a short article (at this moment), but it already does contain more information than a simple listing can provide.
- Additionally, I contacted RISM for inclusion of this composition. This way we help people find information more easily, instead of having to do the same research as I needed to do to find the info I needed about this work. Aszazin (talk) 12:22, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per Michael. Published work by notable composer, with several recordings. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I’m afraid “it was published” and “it has been recorded” don’t make it notable. I looked for any reviews or discussion of this work but found nothing. Mccapra (talk) 19:34, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- This is a disconnect between our notability standards and classical music scholarship standards that I'm honestly surprised hasn't created a massive row before a la sports biographies. The views expressed by keep !voters above are consistent with scholarly views in classical music scholarship and performance; works often are considered significant purely due to the existence of arrangements and performances, even in the absence of additional materials. While we could squint and consider such materials "secondary sources" in a way, they nevertheless bring us no closer to having prose material with which we could draft an article, which is what GNG tries to establish. signed, Rosguill talk 20:54, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Classical music and jazz have a hard time on Wikipedia because they don’t have the same publicity-crazed culture as popular music, so I’m always inclined to allow them extra leeway. But in this instance there is quite literally nothing I can find to support notability. Mccapra (talk) 21:03, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see anything in WP:NOT that overrides WP:5P1 (encyclopedia) for this article. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 03:01, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- "It has been recorded" might not be enough to make it notable, but being recorded by a prominent orchestra (RIAS Berlin) conducted by a prominent conductor (Ferenc Fricsay) and released by a prominent classical label (Deutsche Grammophon), do make it notable. Moreover, within a month, it needed a repress because it was sold out, as can be seen in the referenced link to the recording.
- Same with "it has been published" might not make it notable, but being published by a very prominent publisher of classical music do make it notable.
- This is not to be compared with a recording by some local orchestra or ensemble, released in a small edition for a limited audience. Or a self-published score by a beginning composer trying to promote him/herself. (To give examples of scenarios where a recording or score publication do not make the work notable on its own.)
- Additionally, one of the two recordings contain liner notes by Katrin Dubach about the composition, but these are only accessible for those owning the CD. We don't have access to any review, but it does exist.
- Actually: a composition selected by Deutsche Grammophon & Ferenc Fricsay for recording simply can't be called "not notable". The work and amount of people required to make such a recording is just too much to ignore.
- GNG does nowhere rule out prominent recordings as valid source to show something is notable, and that's a good thing.
- The work is also included in „1000 Jahre Musikgeschichte In Klingenden Beispielen · Allgemeine Europäische Musikgeschichte Von 1917 Bis Zur Gegenwart” (see https://www.discogs.com/release/8456868 ) An audio document published by ETERNA (East German state label) documenting milestones in European music history from 1917 until publication of the recording in 1983.
- The Deutsche Grammophon recording by Fricsay was also included in a compilation of his recorded orchestral works in 2016 (see https://www.discogs.com/release/9636940 ). And it was also issued again in a 2003 compilation bringing together the most notable old 7" issues by Deutsche Grammophon (see https://www.discogs.com/master/1009653 ), where the 2nd disc started with the 2 Liebermann compositions featured on the original 7".
- There is no doubt that this composition is regarded as notable by one of the oldest record labels in existence. Who are we to question them? Aszazin (talk) 12:37, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- Additional resources to show notability:
- -swissinfo.ch (a site dedicated to people from outside Switzerland interested in Swiss culture and a branch of Swiss Broadcasting Corporation SRG SSR) included the 6 Swiss Folk Songs from the suite on their site: see https://www.swissinfo.ch/service/search/eng/45808844?query=rolf+liebermann
- -They also have a review of the composition online (when searching for this composition, don't forget to include the English title "Suite on Six Folk Swiss Songs", see: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/multimedia/swiss-ethnophony---folk-meets-classic/31819768 Aszazin (talk) 17:47, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- I added some information from the mentioned resources to the article. (I'm very inexperienced, any suggestions for improvement are always welcome, I'm still reading through the guidelines.)

Can't find any decent coverage in a WP:BEFORE search. The references in the article appear to be the best available. Two of the Liverpool Echo sources are obviously trivial mentions and Blackburn Rovers is not an independent source per WP:SPORTBASIC (team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject), being a website for her former employer. Lastly, Danielle clinches it and Sparkling Sheen both fail WP:YOUNGATH per the guidance on local coverage in clause 2; The second clause excludes the majority of local coverage in both news sources and sports specific publications. It especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability. A match summary for a local under-16 fixture clearly violates the criteria, so cannot be used to support notability. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:29, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

- List of fastest-selling products (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This list is a coatrack for WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. Unlike the family of "highest-grossing" lists, where the superlative is a concrete measure, speed is by definition a relative measure. There is no such thing as an objective speed. This definition is cruelly tortured in this list, which includes sales "speeds" at a variety of unconstrained time points/time intervals and compares them across a variety of unconstrained sales domains (e.g. comparing sales of an album across markets in countries with wildly different populations). There is no assurance that any of the items in this list are actually the fastest-selling anything, since purported record holders are listed alongside (purported) previous record holders with alternate time scales, and there is no reliable third party tracking authority to confirm that an unlisted entry is the true record holder.
The video games section is its own SYNTH horrorshow. It does the classic OR trick of multiplying sales with MSRP to arrive at "gross revenue" and then further subdivides speed by a dozen different time scales into a nightmare table that is legitimately impossible to glean any meaning out of.
Some of the domain specific lists (e.g. Lists of fastest-selling albums) have more concrete and well-defined criteria. This one does not. If there's the heart of a wikipedia-acceptable list in here, I'm not seeing it. This is a WP:TNT situation at the very least (and replace with domain-specific lists) and I don't see a domain-general version of this list ever being appropriate. Axem Titanium (talk) 17:39, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
Post-nom addition: Ah, it appears that this list has been nominated twice before, but those AFDs were not linked on the talk page. The 2nd nom was a procedural close because it was nominated just hours after the first nom's close. The 1st nom was more substantive, ending in "no consensus", but highlighting many of the same problems that this list still suffers from, 10 years later, namely untenable and potentially limitless inclusion criteria and disordered apples-to-oranges comparisons which are inherent to the nature of this list. The previous result was no consensus, but by a hair, as noted in the closer's comment. I think 10 years of accumulating coatracking have not improved any of these core deficiencies.

- Split Lists of fastest-selling albums makes sense since it shows the albums that sold the most copies their first week of release. List of fastest-grossing films has specific criteria as well. This article has a lot of things that shouldn't be there. In the vehicle section, the first entry makes sense. Bestselling car of all times by pre-order or first week, that'd be something to list. The other three entries there don't show the actual sales figures or time period counted. The video game section could be its own article just like the one for albums is. List of video games that sold the most preorders. A game selling 30,000,000 copies from preorders is quite impressive. Listing which video games sold the most copies their first week would make sense also. List_of_fastest-selling_products#Home_media has information that should go somewhere. If not enough things to make their own article yet, this would be the place to have it. Just need to eliminate all the bad entries in the article. Dream Focus 19:08, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- I have no problem with narrowly defined sublists on this topic in fields where data is plentiful and verifiable. The music industry is perhaps one of them since it publishes detailed sales data. The video game industry is absolutely not, since sales data is often deliberately obfuscated, misrepresented, and selectively distributed, preferentially shared when it's positive. Pre-order data is very rarely shared. It's hard enough sorting through the sales data for the best-selling games list. I think trying to maintain a verifiable list on "fastest selling" games, which is just an ever so slightly different take on best-selling games (they're both about essentially the same topic), is not a good use of time and energy.

- This was one of the first novels ever published in the Yorùbá language and was hugely influential because of that. It has never gone of out print. The lack of sources on Google speaks to how little international interest and investment there can be in literature written in indigenous African languages - even classics like this. You'll probably find more sources if you google the title of Soyinka's translation but it's more accurate to keep the wikipedia page name as the original Yorùbá title. Also if you look at the wiki page for the author Fágúnwà, you'll get a sense of his importance. Clarenicheall (talk) 11:42, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

That notwithstanding, I cannot see an argument for treating them as independently notable and they should form part of the Mizo People article until such time as someone finds academic/anthropological discussion that places them as somehow notably distinct as a tribe rather than as one of a number of tribes who together combine to form the Mizo.

- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. In plain English, this means that references cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company - such as articles that rely entirely on quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, website information, etc - even when slightly modified. If the article doesn't *clearly* contain independent content then it fails ORGIND. Here, the references are simply regurgitating company announcements and have no "Independent Content" in the form of independent analysis/fact checking/opinion/etc. Even the Wired article mentioned above has no "independent content" which is in-depth and about the company, either commenting on users of the website (not the topic of this article) or relying on comments from the founders. I'm unable to locate a single reference that meets our criteria. HighKing++ 11:06, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

The factions sections are the PDEA and PNP are law enforcement agencies while the Philippine Coast Guard is an agency attached by Philippine Transportation Department, to monitor maritime in the Philippines.

A contested prod, and a lot of work was put into the article afterwards, unfortunately, there is still not a single in-depth reference from an independent, reliable, secondary source. And searches did not turn up enough to pass WP:GNG or WP:ORGDEPTH. Onel5969 TT me 09:53, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - Below is a version of my initial response once I was notified of this issue and thus also my reasoning for the maintenance of this site: I understand your first issue with the lack of secondary sources for the society. I have now added extra sources not affiliated to the History Society, including secondary sources, which together I hope resolve the issue – sources ranging from publications like Past & Present to the Durham University Journal to Harvard University’s Website to The Times and to other individual books and articles. The second issue regarding notability I must say I am more surprised about. The society has a near century-long history in which it has hosted some of the most prestigious historians from across the United Kingdom (those listed on the site being just a few) and represented the history student body of one of the top 3 history departments in the country (a position it has held pretty steadily since records began). Its importance has been recognised by major international firms with sponsors ranging from global accounting titan Ernst & Young (EY) to some of the largest UK-based law firms in the world, such as magic circle member Clifford Chance and others such as Simmons & Simmons, as well as one of the largest publishing houses in the world, Macmillan Publishing. The society’s publication (Critical Historical Studies) has similarly been publicised by some of the most prestigious universities, not least Durham (6th ranked in UK, 3rd for History), including Kings College London and Harvard University (https://history.fas.harvard.edu/call-papers-other-universities). Moreover, its notability is at a comparable, if not greater, degree than the societies listed at the bottom of the page, which all have Wikipedia pages. To demonstrate my point, I will go through them. Trinity Mathematical Society, though established by a notable mathematician, has otherwise only a list of prestigious speakers to vouch for it (and only one reference), a list that Durham University History Society (DUHS from now on) more than matches. Oxford University Democratic Socialist Club has but one reference and no clear evidence for its notability, and yet has only been flagged for the reliability of its sources. University College Players is a college-level club, hardly with a notability comparable to DUHS. Hysteron Proteron Club at Balliol College Oxford is similarly a college-level club with its notability resting on one mention in the house of commons, reflecting the pervasion of Oxbridge graduates in the British house of commons and the ‘Oxbridge boys club’ nature of that institution, particularly 20 years ago (see for example: https://www.varsity.co.uk/news/8279, https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/apr/19/oxford-union-created-ruling-political-class-boris-johnson-michael-gove-theresa-may-rees-mogg, https://www.ft.com/content/85fc694c-9222-11e9-b7ea-60e35ef678d2), rather than reflecting any notability. Oxford Socratic Club, a club that lasted less than a decade, also has a vast page and whose notability, as far as I can tell, is based on notable speakers and allegedly ‘Famous debates’ (that conspicuously lack a single citation) – once again a list of speakers that is comparable and notably less important to modern academic study than that of DUHS. Oxford University Wine Circle too has a page, yet its only notability stems from the extravagant wines the society's members could afford to purchase as well as a sponsorship from Pol Roger – a sponsorship arguably less prestigious than those DUHS have had. The Oxford University Archaeology Society is another student society whose history is similarly long to DUHS (though more chequered). Finally, the Durham University Christian Union has a lengthy page and yet one with no references and limited content of notability, including mentions of a ‘weekend House Party’! I hope this has suitably outlined my reasoning for the society’s Wikipedia page, and demonstrated that many comparably, if not less, notable societies have similar pages. --------------------------Links to talked about wikipedia pages: Trinity Mathematical Society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Mathematical_Society Oxford University Democratic Socialist Club https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_University_Democratic_Socialist_ClubUniversity College Players https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_College_Players Hysteron Proteron Club https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteron_Proteron_Club Socratic Club https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_Club Oxford University Wine Society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_University_Wine_Circle The Oxford Archaeological Society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_University_Archaeological_Society Durham University Christian Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durham_Inter-Collegiate_Christian_UnionHistorian2003 (talk) 22:44, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Merge - Above is my reasoning for the maintenance of the page. However, if members still do not believe it meets the criteria for a full page I might suggest that part of it is included in the page 'List of social activities at Durham University', just like, for example, the 'Durham Revue'. (If it is of any relevance I think lists are subject to different notability guidelines, although I am not sure)Historian2003 (talk) 22:49, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- Prob delete - it seems highly unlikely that a student society would meet the relevant notability criteria. As far as I am concerned, notability would only be considered to have been unquestionably met if there was significant third-party media about. It is possible that someone has published a book about the history of the society, but I haven't been able to find it and it isn't currently on the page. Until or unless this kind of RS is found (or written), the subject is not notable and therefore the page should be deleted. JMWt (talk) 11:00, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Hi JMWt, thank you for your comment - all contributions to this discussion help us reach a sensible conclusion. I would just like to flag up that Wikipedia is populated by many student societies, including many much less notable than the Durham University History Society. It being a student society is therefore not, I believe, grounds enough for the deletion of the page. Below I have flagged multiple student societies with lesser or similar notability.

- Hi JMWt, I fully understand your reply. Nonetheless, policy is (in every case, not just in the micro-universe of Wikipedia) determined as much by the written-down rules as it is by case studies that display how those rules are applied. My examples seek to provide such case studies.

- Delete - The fundamental question for notability is significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Of the sources presented in this AfD, the first four are passing mentions, one is not about the society, and one is not independent. Looking through the sources in the article, all are either passing mentions, primary sources, or not about the society at all. Arguments about the existence of other student societies are irrelevant, per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - if significant reliable independent sourcing can't be found for those articles, then they should also be deleted.

- Delete. As always, neither journalists nor actors are "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to show that their work has garnered third party media coverage and analysis about it which would satisfy WP:GNG. But the sourcing here isn't cutting it: three of the footnotes are primary sources that aren't support for notability at all (i.e. journalists do not qualify for Wikipedia articles just because they have or had staff profiles on the self-published websites of their own employers); one is a dead link from a small community hyperlocal that can't be recovered in order to verify how much it did or didn't actually say about her; and the two acceptable live footnotes are both just glancing namechecks of her existence, one in the context of providing soundbite in an article on a subject that isn't her, and the other in the context of winning a minor local award that isn't prominent enough to confer an instant inclusion freebie in and of itself.

The article notes: "I must confess that I broke a vow made a few years back never to step foot again into Alleycat’s. My last experience in the claustrophobic and crypt-like atmosphere of its branch located a stone’s throw from Yongkang Street (永康街) saw an angry chef repeatedly berating a server over some indiscretion — one that was perhaps deserved because the service was terrible (though the food was excellent). ... The expansive interior, with its vaulted ceilings and open-spaced concept, consists of two rooms separated by a long bar. The walls are painted mustard yellow with patches of exposed brick, and the windows are ideal for watching the hustle and bustle of the open market (on weekends) outside."

The review notes: "Even though Alleycat's is hidden in a small basement off bustling Yongkang Street, it would be hard to overlook this new pizzeria for the buzz it's been generating since it opened at the end of January. It's the brainchild of South African transplant Alan Pontes, who wanted to make a living without having a boss, and he could have done far worse than deciding upon opening this pleasant eatery. ... The Spartan decor is Alleycat's only downside. The soft-toned red walls are a start, but some flowers, perhaps a few pictures of Tuscany, a space divider and more attractive place mats would go a long way."

- Firstly, thanks everyone on reviewing this article, 'Sasika Herath'.
- Sasika Herath is an debutant director who works in some time as an assistant director in the industry. I also wrote about his movie 'Sihina Sameekarana' here. It may seem that I have not provided enough evidence on this, but hence he is still not among the popular names, those few articles are the only references I have right now.
- But as a newbie contributor to the Wikipedia community, I understand that I have done few mistakes in this article. Some references I have given are in Sinhala language (on Mawbima) so I know that most of you can not read but as a Sri Lankan Chanaka L can read and clarify those. at. you can read the article in Sinhala (on Mawbima). Other article in Sarasaviya weekly newspaper which is published by the government owned Lakehouse is currently closed and unfortunately their website got down hence the link is not accessible. But I can provide the image version of the article via email if you are interested. The only article which wrote in English was on Ceylontoday newspaper (25 October 2020 - ECHO tabloid - Page 06 and 07) has no direct link and only a PDF link to that magazine issue (https://uploads.ceylontoday.lk/epapers/files/9755f62e9a74a55e9c90f7fa7e2774db.pdf). Please find and read the articles. I appreciate your willingness to engage in a dialogue on this topic and look forward to hearing back from you. Best regards, Rushan

- Sarasaviya interview: I am afraid this is not considered WP:RS because it is an WP:INTERVIEW.
- Looks like Sasika Herath is a promising director. However, at this moment I see only the Ceylon Today article as the only worthwhile article. Seems like a classic case of WP:TOOSOON.

- Keep as per WP:NPLACE this is a named place that was once populated and even though it might not have people living there now that doesn't make it not notable as per WP:NTEMP. Looking over some maps from USGS I see that there are a few markers for buildings in maps from 1953, a map in 1959 notes the name of the place, and an 1892 map shows that there was a used road in that area. Looking at some information from the Navajo Nation it appears that the area is now a trail and at one time was used for hearing animals. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 05:16, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- Dr vulpes, currently the article is sourced only to GNIS and its mirror, Hometown Locator; NPLACE specifically excludes GNIS from satisfying its "officially recognized" and "populated place" criteria. The other source you provided doesn't mention a populated place at Twin Falls, it only mentions a hike that leads to two (or possibly three) waterfalls. And buildings on a map are not proof that this was a notable place, that type of thing often turns out to just be someone's ranch or homestead. I would suggest finding more sources that establish either GNG or a "legally recognized populated place" if you'd like your !vote to be counted. –dlthewave ☎ 15:53, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- If it's a place that is significant to the Navajo Nation then it should either be kept or redirected to Navajo Nation, or the appropriate chapterhouse if it has an article. Or Teec Nos Pos, Arizona, even. Also Navajo Times is as RS as it gets in that area. Local newspaper of record. Elinruby (talk) 23:51, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

It's also unclear why the topos show a couple of buildings here, because the aerials show almost no change over the years except for the growth of vegetation, and there's no trace of buildings.

- Draftify (again). Alsanati just made his debut in the Allsvenskan (scored a goal on his debut), and recently received his first call-up to the Iraq national team. I'm not finding much useful coverage at the moment (the blog fotbollskanalen.se has an interview with some prose, but I can't determine if the blog is written by an expert or just a fan). Some newspapers have done match reports on his debut, but nothing appears to be in-depth yet. That said, I expect we will see in-depth coverage soon if he continues to be part of Sirius' Allsvenskan starting lineup. Jogurney (talk) 02:33, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- I checked and the Gabriel Melke who posted the fotbollskanalen.se blog is a TV4 sports reporter, so I think that source counts toward SIGCOV (there is a fair amount of prose describing his career despite being a Q&A interview) and as such draftication is preferrable to deletion.

- WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability to avoid abuse per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 02:07, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

- Comment - Responding to TimothyBlue, Firstly, your most recent article (made in March 2023) is about a current Ukrainian photographer whose birth date is unknown and basically only has primary sources online... (which I am fine with, but trying to delete others articles with much more sources of any kind while creating those kinds of articles truly boggles the mind, the double standard makes no sense whatsoever). Secondly, the sources do have secondary coverage (e.g. "André Alsanati was predicted a bright future in Swedish football. As a 16-year-old, he signed for Hammarby and was praised by then sports manager Mats Jingblad. He moved from his hometown of Eskilstuna to Stockholm and Jingblad compared him to Messi. Expectations were sky high and Hammarby thought he had a golden nugget. But now he has instead signed for AFC Eskilstuna, after an unsuccessful loan to IK Frej", "André Alsanati left AFC Eskilstuna before this year's season and now represents Sirius. It was a total of two seasons at the club for the 23-year-old, who, among other things, also has a past in Hammarby. The midfielder, who can also play on the wing, has now been rewarded with a national team place - in Iraq. He has chosen to accept", "Alsanati was a great talent as a youngster, and made his debut for Sweden's U17 national team already when he was 15 years old. In the U17 national team, there were... seven international matches and one goal, and when he was 16, he was recruited from Eskilstuna City to Hammarby. There were games in... Frej but never in Hammarby's A-team, and after a few years he moved to AFC Eskilstuna. He did well there, and for this year's season, Sirius has signed him" etc etc), Thirdly, every deletion editor's entire arguments is basically repeating "everything is routine" (clearly not true) or "deletion because the "law" said so" (Wikipedia:Wikilawyering) without thinking about why the "law" exists in the first place... the reason the secondary source "law" exists is objectivity, which this article does anyways... if a fair amount of independent, reliable sources, primary or secondary, can produce an objective factual decent sized article about a clear topic of interest, there's no logical reason it should be deleted at all (Wikipedia is supposed to be a source of knowledge, and this article is a "yes" to Wikipedia:The one question). Fourthly,, Alsanati has an ongoing career as a important figure in a team in the Swedish Allsvenskan, a league that receives lots of media coverage. Lastly, For some backwards reason the focus is always on deletion rather than improvement, (but, I hear you say, isn't the whole point of editing Wikipedia to delete others articles?) but I spent hours doing a WP:HEY and vastly expanded the article with the sources. WP:HEY states that it can be "invoked during deletion discussions to point out that an article has been significantly improved since it was nominated for deletion". As one user stated above, "expansion... renders the above WP:WIKILAWYERING a moot point". Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 17:01, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to the author, Barbara Cooney, or keep after we find at least three reviews. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 02:05, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - It has reviews up at both Kirkus Reviews and Publishers Weekly. Neither are particularly long, but I've seen other AFD discussions consider similar coverage as being sufficient for passing WP:NBOOK. Rorshacma (talk) 05:46, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - The short reviews I noted above and the little blurbs mentioned below should be just enough to pass WP:NBOOK. Merging to Barbara Cooney is a possibility if there is any thought that the information would be better suited there than as a stand alone, but at this point, there is no reason for deletion.

- Delete. As always, the notability of a journalist doesn't vest in the extent to which he's been the author of coverage of other things, it vests in the extent to which he's been the subject of coverage written by other people. But he just doesn't have the kind of sourcing that's required: I certainly get a lot of hits on his name in a ProQuest search, but they're all (a) pieces of his own bylined writing about other things, (b) glancing namechecks of his existence as a provider of soundbite in articles that aren't about him, or (c) coincidental name matches to a different person entirely (or at least not a person who can be verified as the same David Climenhaga due to a lack of any claim in this article that this one was ever also an ophthalmologist), and absolutely none of them represent WP:GNG-building coverage of him as a subject.

The article is written like an advertisement and has not been significantly improved since the last time it was nominated. The sources are mostly from their own website. A WP:BEFORE search could not find any WP:SIGCOV. Also fails WP:NCORP. Lightoil (talk) 00:38, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete five AfD! New record. I don't find sourcing that we can use, it's all PR stuff. Oaktree b (talk) 00:57, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Company is incredible at marketing itself, PR newswires for about 6 hits, BR newswire for about as many, and a story in the Financial Post which is a PR news article reprint. Utterly non-notable. I'd suggest SALT at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 01:02, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Delete and Salt FIVE AfDs? Enough is enough - we have clearly been skirting WP:NCORP for years now, dining off low participation and no consensus. PR, routine announcements, it doesn't belong here. The 2nd Nomination discussion will make your head blow up. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:27, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
