Sole source is primary. Tagged non-notable for years without improvement * Pppery * it has begun... 23:40, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you mean RS which cite this database (indeed, they are secondary in this regard), there are hundreds. Looking in Web of Science database, the paper about this resource, i.e. "Beta-lactamase database (BLDB) - structure and function" by Naas et al. is a highly cited paper, and it is cited in 306 other publications. This is the reason I think it is notable enough and voted to keep. I never used it though because my interests are different. My very best wishes (talk) 21:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This database is cited in 69 scientific review papers. One could make a really big and nice page about BLDB on wiki using these reviews. It is just that the authors apparently do not care. The actual candidate for deletion is another page (see above).My very best wishes (talk) 21:56, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your life its back (Venezuelan Movie) (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)

WP:TOOSOON article about a not-yet-released film, not properly sourced as the subject of sufficient reliable source coverage to exempt it from the primary notability criteria at WP:NFILM. As always, films are not automatically notable just because they've entered the production pipeline -- the minimum notability bar for most films is that they've been released, and films are supposed to get articles in advance of release only if they can be sourced to a substantial volume of production coverage, such that even if they collapsed and never came out at all they'd still likely be permanently notable anyway (e.g. Star Wars or Marvel films). But this just cites a tiny smattering of production coverage, nowhere near enough to confer permanent notability this far in advance of release.
In addition, the page's title is completely unverified in any sources at all, and appears to be an original research attempt at inventing an English title for a film that doesn't have any known English title yet -- but "we don't even know what title the page should actually be at yet" is another reason why this would be too soon. ("Come Back to Life" would be a more appropriately idiomatic translation of the film's native-language title, but that's not properly verified as the English-title of this film either — remember that foreign-language films' English titles are not always literal translations of their original-language titles, so we can't just assume that its English title will necessarily be "Come Back to Life" just because its Spanish title is slated to be "Vuelve a la vida", and have to wait until a reliable source verifies that before we can title an article about it that way.) The film also has no article at all on the Spanish Wikipedia yet, even though it can hardly be more notable to the English-speaking world than it is in its own country. Bearcat (talk) 18:44, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good afteernoon
Thanks for your review alwways its good learn in this plataform.
The article have four citation from the principal newspaper of Venezuela. About the titlee its translated as that in the official instagram account of the movie. in addition of that the film have noticed for be development by the directors of " Papita, Mani, Toston" The most sucess Venezuelan movie in recent years. About the spanish article, its in construction, some others native languaje production dont have articles in wikipedia in spanish. GEORGEB1989 (talk) 21:02, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Caracas, Te Quiero Que Jode and Papita, maní, tostón are previous work of hueck directors.
@Bearcat GEORGEB1989 (talk) 21:10, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It has three citations from newspapers — the fourth is an IMDB-like directory, not a newspaper — and three citations from newspapers is not enough to make a film notable while it's still only in the production pipeline. Films in the production pipeline can collapse and fail to ever get released at all, so you need a lot of production coverage, not just three hits, to make a film notable in advance of release — as in so much production coverage that even if the film did collapse, its failure would be permanently notable in its own right. Normally, films are not notable at all until we can source a firm premiere date, and even after the premiere some films can still fail to pass our inclusion criteria at all: films still just don't always get the necessary depth of coverage at all, so they simply aren't exempted from having to have good sourcing just because they've been released.
And what other films the directors made is irrelevant, as notability is not inherited, and you've also failed to address the problem with the page title at all. Bearcat (talk) 21:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep per WP:NFILM, since there are sources about its principal photography, it has already been screened at the Guadalajara Film Festival and outher sources allow the article to meet WP:GNG and WP:NEXIST: [1][2][3][4].
That said, the article is in poor shape and could really use improvement. --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:04, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I did some improvements to the article. There probably are going to be even more sources once the film is screened to the public, but the current coverage should warrant it being kept. --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:14, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep per the above. The sources are minimal from a WP:NFF perspective. Not enough that I'd recommend creating an article, but not so sparse that I'd recommend deletion in the face of an upcoming scheduled release. Eluchil404 (talk) 23:51, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus‎. I'm in a really awkward situation here that I feel like in many respects the deletion argument is probably more persuasive overall, assessing it as the closer. That being said, there is significantly more support for the keep argument. Trying to balance this is hard to do and find a clear outcome, and I've landed on No Consensus as a result of that.

Article fails WP:GNG. Simione001 (talk) 23:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - @GiantSnowman: Did you actually read these? The first one is a brief article about his contract expiring. The second is pay walled. The third article isnt even about the player in question and the last one is a match report. These do not satisfy WP:GNG Simione001 (talk) 20:56, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    He is mentioned in the third one, you clearly haven't read it - just as you clearly haven't bothered to do any BEFORE. I have located numerous coverage about this person, you have done nothing. GiantSnowman 21:12, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - excuse me how do you know what i have and haven't done? I have read it and I've just read it again, the third article you provided, this article is not about the player in question. This is simply a list of players that were nominated for Allsvenskans Stora Pris. This doesnt satisy WP:GNG. Simione001 (talk) 21:35, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    He is still mentioned in the article, so you have not read it. GiantSnowman 22:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Seems like we are going around in circles here and im not sure what you are trying to achieve. Anyway, not sure why you provided the source in the first place, it doesn't do anything towards satisfying WP:GNG. Do you still think he's notable based on the sources provided? Sounds like just another case of WP:ILIKEIT. Simione001 (talk) 22:54, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. From the sources mentioned above: 1 is a routine transactional update Red XN. 2 I can't access. 3 is literally just his name in a list published by the Swedish Elite Football organization Red XN. 4 is a mention in a routine match recap plus a quote from teammate Strandberg Red XN. Even if #2 is SIGCOV, that is still not equivalent to GNG.

This is an article for a non-notable real estate agent in the USA. All of the citations seem to be to SEO churnalism sources; reprinters of press releases. Wikipedia should not be an extension of an SEO operation. Tagishsimon (talk) 22:36, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom and current status.. The article does not establish the notability of its subject per WP:BIO and WP:GNG. The references provided appear to be weak and some primary sponsored content, which do not qualify as independent, reliable sources offering significant coverage (WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). The article resembles a promotional resume rather than an encyclopedic entry, lacking the depth and standard of coverage necessary for a standalone article. Will say, @Tagishsimon nom, could have been slightly better.
Reference [1] is a sponsored segment, other sources such as Bizjournals, are a trade pub, that merely mention one award. I couldn't find any other sources of notability on the subject. PD Slessor (talk) 00:38, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article was made in user-space, moved to main space, draftified, and moved back, and moved through various names, so its deletion is clearly controversial, at least with its creator. It has already, under another name, been nominated for speedy deletion. The problem with it is that it's extremely contentious, but lacks any inline citations. I'd have no problem with the creator incubating it properly in draft space or their own space and putting proper references, but to dump this uncited into main-space is completely wrong. I don't know if it should be speedied, draftified, or discussed properly, so we're here. Elemimele (talk) 21:15, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As noted at the WikiProject Mathematics discussion page, this is original research. All of the discussions on the article's Talk page, going back to 2011, are about how it's not a real topic. A prod that was endorsed was then removed. XOR'easter (talk) 20:12, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom, WP:OR, only one source used in the intro. Frigyes06 (talk) 22:13, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Addendum: A passage added by the page creator and since removed makes clear that this article was trying to make fetch happen: It could be argued that we already have terms for the concepts described here, like dynamical systems, group actions, modules, and vector spaces. However, there is still no other terminology available for an external monoid for which this terminology gives us a concise expression. Above all else, this is a reason this term should be of use in the mathematical community. XOR'easter (talk) 23:59, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and @XOR'easter - The concept of "external" as described lacks clear definition and context within established mathematical literature. The provided references do not appear to be from reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject, as required by Wikipedia's general notability guideline WP:GNG. As sstated above, the article seems to contain original research WP:OR and fails to cite significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject WP:SIGCOV. Without verifiable and reliable sources, the term does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards for inclusion.

Controversies involving Javier Milei (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)

None of those "controversies" have any actual substance to them, or is even worth a standalone article. All of them are just "Politician says X", and "someone somewhere is outraged", or even just "Politician says X". All of them lasted for just some days and died as old news, without any actual consequences. In this day and age, all this stuff is just routine. Heads of state are always saying something, and someone is always reacting to those things said, even if just for a couple of hours.

Note as well that a page "controversial stuff involving a BLP" can easily get carried away into undesired directions.

And note that Trump and Putin, the most controversial world leaders of recent times, do not have any similar articles. Cambalachero (talk) 19:15, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Donald Trump has several articles about particular controversies, from mishandling classified information to sexual misconduct to... There is precedent at Wikipedia for these types of articles. That said, quickly glancing over this one, "alleged" this and "alleged" that is different. Trump actually did those things (he denies most of them, but there is at least some proof to the contrary), while this person seems to have just been mentioned in connection with xyz thing. Oaktree b (talk) 20:40, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, that is true. I think some content can be merged to Public image of Javier Milei, as suggested by @Pedantic Aristotle, and some may also be relevant for La Libertad Avanza, for example the invistigation also involving the coalition. But just saying that all of them [sic] are just "Politician says X", and "someone somewhere is outraged", or even just "Politician says X" is an exageration. In fact, that may only apply to "Insults to Horacio Rodríguez Larreta", which could be moved at the "Public image" article, since many sources have noted how Milei insulted his political opponents or journalists. Many of them are in fact legal investigations (hence alleged), perhaps his plagiarism can be considered proved (he admitted it for the first case and for the second case reliable sources took it as self-evident) so alleged can be removed, and controversies that attracted significant attention (children and organ trade positions or the state terrorism denialism accusations, etc.), so much so that Milei himself has been described as controversial. So I find the nominator's argument too dismissive. All of this may not warrant its own standalone article but a merge yes; they are acting as though literally none of this has any value or significance. Davide King (talk) 20:54, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Donald Trump has articles about specific controversies, with a well defined scope. I meant that there is no parent article "Controversies involving Donald Trump" or similar. Cambalachero (talk) 13:49, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Ideally these are merged into different articles, where they can be added in relevant contexts. Some parts could be deleted, and seems more like trivia rather than encyclopedia content. Ideally a lot more content is written, where dedicated articles are created for the more notable topics. Pedantic Aristotle (talk) 23:45, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge - this makes me very uneasy, because it's a BLP list of mainly "alleged" accusations gleened from non-English sources: "Alleged cover-up and illicit association", "Alleged plagiarism for El Cronista and Infobae", "Alleged plagiarism for Pandenomics", "Accusations of alleged state terrorism denialism," "alleged sexual favours", "Alleged sales of candidatures", "Alleged involvement of neo-Nazi and Argentine military dictatorship apologist candidates". Unless proven, this is just political gossip. Political leader or not, since when does English Wikipedia create articles/lists based on rumors and gossip — Maile (talk) 00:30, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, alleged is used because some of those were followed by investigations, and thus the use of alleged is warranted, so hardly "political gossip". His plagiarism seems to have been confirmed, and his vice-presidential candidate seems to be a proved apologist for the Argentine military dictatorship, so the alleged can be removed if you feel only proved things should be listed. Those relevant to the coalition could also be moved at La Libertad Avanza, and others could be at Public image of Javier Milei, for example for a section about his rethoric and insults, for which he is well known. As for the non-English sources, they are allowed, and it is not like there is literally not a single English-language source... Davide King (talk) 13:04, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Given the time period (1985-2000) I'm not surprised little information is available online, but everything in the article (assuming it can be cited, I've not looked) is encyclopaedic information. I agree though it's a bit thin for a whole article, so I recommend merging this to a broader article about the structure of the Met over time as this is not the first AfD I've seen about such units.

This is an *extremely* minor character that, while it has some development information, lacks any actual discussion as a fictional character to demonstrate notability. In writing articles for wikipedia it's important to demonstrate *why* a subject meets notability through significant coverage discussing the topic and illustrating people discussing a subject and why it's important outside of the scope of the main subject.

While this is an obscure character in the He-Man franchise, there's no indication of that importance. Furthermore it's not an isolated instance of an obscure character in the franchise being revisited as a toy much later. And as a fictional character, which should be the most important aspect of such an article...there's nothing.

The whole subject could be covered in a list entry with nothing lost Kung Fu Man (talk) 15:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Literally all of that could be fit into a paragraph on its development. What reception is there of it as a fictional character? Even as a toy there's still nothing indicating any significance over any of the other MotU toys, other than its origin. The coverage indicating that importance isn't there. The coverage discussing it as a fictional character and why it's important also isn't there Dream.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 16:53, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the He-Man characters list. It's not really a matter of notability here, but of the fact the information here can be easily covered in the list with little to no detriment. The article just doesn't have the bulk to justify its separation. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 04:02, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Two major problems with this:
    • https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/441346-carsick-hall-help/?do=findComment&comment=7893247 is quite clearly how the original single-purpose editor got xyr information. It's a fortnight before the article was created by ChaosAlien (talk · contribs). I don't have any access to whatever "Find My Past" is, and the original single-purpose editor provided zero citations of whatever bunch of old newspapers have been stitched together to make this. Espresso Addict hasn't provided enough above, either, alas.
    • The good-faith citations added later by someone else are impossible to check. Having laboriously found what each one is and digging it up to cite it properly, I've had to add {{pageneeded}} on every single one it turns out. One of them is an edited collection book and the citation didn't even say which article in the book by which author is being cited. Needless to say, not a single one of those sources is accessible to me.
  • Verification is simply impossible here. I've tried. This is unverifiable by any reader, or anyone at all who didn't write the article. Uncle G (talk) 20:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's simply not true. I verified much of it, just typing "Carsick Hall" into one of the WL newspaper searches. I don't always provide citations when I do this kind of search because typing and especially cut & paste hurts my injured hand, but the search is trivial for anyone with library access. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:14, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm afraid that it is true. "Mentions in The Times and The Telegraph in the 1950s" doesn't cut it. As I said, I've looked for sources, and tried to look into the sources already cited. A vague handwave in the direction of an entire decade of two newspapers points to nothing. It's as vague as the handwave to a 264-page book (which Google Books reports no instances of "Carsick" at all inside) from 1948 is. If you cannot point to things that I or other people can check, then verifiability is simply not there. Amazingly, all of the people with the claimed actual access to these old newspapers, from the person on the WWW forum through the article creator to you, have not cited one single specific newspaper article for the rest of us, let alone the clearly multiple ones used in the WWW discussion forum. Uncle G (talk) 22:48, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • In attempting to check the sources and found copies of some on archive.org (Reeder, Walton and Tiratsoo), and White Rose eTheses Online (Donnelly). But searches within these indicate that none mention Carsick Hall, Walton has only a brief section on Ranmoor (p.225) and there were no search results for Sheffield in Tiratsoo. Cannadine and Hebblethwaite require journal access but the statements they are there to support do not suggest notability. I do not have full access to the British Newspaper Archive, but a search for Carsick Hall shows some results that could verify the residents and history section (Sheffield Independent 10 May 1879 p.11, and 7 March 1938 p.2, and Yorkshire Evening Post 11 June 1940 p.5) but these also do little to indicate notability. Delete seems a reasonable option because if all the unsourced and trivial content was removed there would be little left to merge. EdwardUK (talk) 09:30, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
          • That's names and dates at least, more than anyone else has given. I didn't think to look for an in-copyright 1997 book in the Internet Archive, and thank you for the pointer to the thesis, too. It's very disappointing to discover, especially after all of that effort hunting down the proper citations, that all of the additions by GavinMansfield (talk · contribs) were false sourcing. Having seen now how irrelevant they were to this subject, especially the thesis, I have changed my mind about these being good-faith edits. Uncle G (talk) 13:07, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I support redirecting to List of international submarine communications cables, which could then be re-worked. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:05, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggestion: There is coverage in multiple independent reliable sources and I suspect that notability could be proven if someone developed and referenced the article. However, nobody has been interested enough to develop it much. There is not even an article for its successor project, the Hawaiki Cable, which is much more notable as it is an operational cable, and there is arguably demand for an article. I suggest we rename this "Hawaiki Cable", do basic reformatting, keeping the info about the SPIN predecessor, then wait and see whether anyone develops it. An article on an operational cable is much more likely to attract editor attention than a defunct cable proposal from the 2000s. Nurg (talk) 01:09, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Listed competitions do not seem to establish notability – winning a Résisprint International does not seem to fulfill GNG or NSPORT as a "major international competition". InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 19:55, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, thank you for the nomination giving us a chance to improve the article. Samuel Nchinda was a regular on the international track and field circuit in 1991 and 1992, not just at major championships where he advanced past the first round at two different Olympics. Résisprint is a World Athletics Continental Tour Challenger level meeting -- though this distinction didn't exist in 1992 it was a premier international meeting. If you want to get technical about WP:NATH, he satisfies point 8) as Nchinda's 10.24 PB is listed on the IAAF "senior all-time list" for men's 100m on page 15 here: Senior all-time list. I also added a cite that Nchinda competed at the 1991 World Indoor Championships, setting a national record and qualifying for the semifinals.

I found dozens of contemporary newspaper sources featuring Sam under the name "Sam Nchinda" -- perhaps the article should be moved to that title. I added a few of them to the article (the article now has 19 references) but I am not done going through them yet, here are just a few from the Edgware Observer, Harrow Observer, and Pinner Observer: Sam takes on best in world Sparkling Sam lifts the gloom for Gayts Olympian Sam goes out in heats. May I ask that you please re-evaluate the article in light of this significant new information added? --Habst (talk) 15:36, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable enough for standalone article, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:LASTING, WP:EVENT. Usually, standalone articles are for tornadoes that are particularly deadly and have a massive lasting effect on a decently-sized community. This tornado caused 3 deaths and was rated as an EF3. This may also apply to 2021 Tri-State tornado, which although an EF4, caused 8 deaths, compared to the effect of the Mayfield EF4 that casued 57 deaths and destroyed several towns. In my opinion, for a tornado to have a section on an article it should either cause 1 million USD or more in damage, be rated EF3 or more, or cause 20 or more injuries. To have its own article, I think a tornado should have to cause 10 or more injuries in three communities and 10 or more deaths in total. The Clarksville tornado caused damage, but it was an EF3. This is pointless as an article and should either go in its own outbreak or go onto the tornado list in December. CutlassCiera 14:18, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that even if you think it is a minor event, it had killed 6* people and counting. Even if it wasn’t an EF5 or even an EF4, it had done possibly permanent damage to the people of Clarksville, TN. Yes it wasn’t the 2013 el reno tornado but it doesn’t hurt anyone to have this article. It is better to inform people of events like such because events like the December 9th tornado will get covered by other big news like politics, then people forget. With an article about it that people can read, the reader can understand the devastation that the people that experienced the tornado had gone through. There is no harm by having its own article, it might help though. People reading the article could contribute to helping the communities hit by the tornado through donations and or by informing others. Once again, no harm is done by this article. It should not be deleted. EvanAndrews22 (talk) 15:10, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
First off, it killed three people, not six. Two, even if it did permanent damage, it doesn't mean that it is notable. The rest of your statement reads off as WP:USEFUL and WP:HARMLESS. CutlassCiera 16:25, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Really? I am just going to repeat what Reecey said and say that it was one of the strongest December tornadoes in recent years. While not THE strongest, it is still notable in its own right, being the strongest of one of the worst December outbreaks in recent years. You have provided no points except for the fact that El Reno is only notable for size, which it is not. You also fail to realize that the outbreak of which this occurred in was a one-in-a-million chance. I mean, some tornadoes took the same paths as the ones two years prior, which is remarkable, and can only really be compared to the Moore tornadoes and the Codell Tornadoes. I rest my case, this should not be deleted for the reasons stated above and the reasons stated by other people. 108.67.192.250 (talk) 16:41, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to mention this, but this article is NOT a stub, and you can tell that there is enough info for an entire article. It also was very long-lasting, being an hour long. 108.67.192.250 (talk) 16:45, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, your argument of "Long lasting effect on a decent sized community" is easily disproven by the fact that the tornado destroyed 114 homes, heavily damaged 857 others, mostly in a town/city of over 160k people. 108.67.192.250 (talk) 16:47, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
100 out of 160000 is a very small percentage. Even if we assume 10 people per household, that's still trivial. Oaktree b (talk) 16:49, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Although I agree with that, it is a city of 160k, which is a more than decent sized community. 108.67.192.250 (talk) 16:53, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're tunnel-visioning on what you personally feel is notable. Tornadoes like this occur all the time. Check out Perryton, Matador, Amory, Sullivan, Winterset, Wynne, etc all from this year. None of these have articles for a reason. Wikiwillz (talk) 16:56, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you, but we can't use Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as an argument. ChessEric 16:37, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was a major event, and even if you don't live around here, it killed half of the people that were in this outbreak, and it was possibly a multi-vortex. If you want to use the "It was an EF3" argument, then we should also delete the El Reno tornado article. You see how unfair that is? I stand my case. Clarksville (and Hendersonville) deserve their own articles, separate from the current, very tiny, outbreak article. This is IP address user, signing off. 108.67.192.250 (talk) 15:22, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The El Reno tornado was particularly notable due to its large size, which is unique. A run-of-the-mill EF3 with three fatalities is not really notable. It doesn't work that way. CutlassCiera 16:27, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The size of the storm doesn’t matter. The damage it caused does. By saying it doesn’t work that way is saying that those 6 people who died don’t matter as much as those who died in the el reno tornado EvanAndrews22 (talk) 16:29, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're missing the point here. The size of the storm does matter. The EF3 damage was three or four very poorly built houses flattened and a strip mall destroyed. That itself is not grounds for an article. The rest of the article is refuting an argument I never made. CutlassCiera 16:37, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is notable, It killed 3 people, and was an EF3. It was one of the steongest December tornadoes in recent years. The article shoudl be kept. Reeceycat123987 (talk) 16:28, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yet again, this isn't proving it to be notable. Being "one of the strongest December tornadoes" is not grounds for an article. Three people is not grounds either. CutlassCiera 16:37, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Trivial weather event. Under 10 people dying is rather routine for a weather event; to be blunt, we've had articles in AfD where more people were involved in a mass shooting in the USA and it's been deemed not notable. Oaktree b (talk) 16:48, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • * Delete: The event was a low-end EF3 and was fairly tame. Dozens of other tornadoes even in the last couple of years are much more worthy of an article over this.

-Oaktree b & Wikiwillz — Would you both support a merge into Tornado outbreak of December 9–10, 2023? The AfD nominator also supports a merge into the article. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:25, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, given it is substantially thinned down to increase readability. Wikiwillz (talk) 18:51, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This argument has no ground to support it. The section can be trimmed to make it readable. CutlassCiera 18:15, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is readable as is. It passes WP:GNG and WP:LASTING. Your deletion reasonings was strictly based on casualties/impact, but that isn’t what makes an article notable. Sources do. That is why WP:NEXIST exists. The 1999 Aïn Témouchent earthquake survived AfD because it has multiple reliable sources. The state of the article (and overall impacts) weren’t that high…Yet it has the coverage, so it passes notability requirements. Like I said, I’m not opposed to the merge, which it seems you aren’t either. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:20, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A large amount of these sources lack WP:DEPTH. The NWS survey is a routine survey done of every tornado that is reported to cause damage in the US. Several of the other sources are news articles that only say one point (e.g. that the tornado was an EF3). CutlassCiera 18:25, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd lack to add Cutlass, that this is how a majority of tornado's are written. The NWS survey is the most official and comprehensive detail of damage and chronological impact. There's little need to scour for sources that would really have less detail or authority to the survey itself. Wikiwillz (talk) 18:56, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the article passes WP:GNG, but the thing about general notability guidelines is that they're.. well... general. There are nuances to consider. I support a merger, sounds like the smart thing to do. Wikiwillz (talk) 18:53, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus‎.

Numerically, we have no consensus, with about 40% of opinions in favor of deleting and 60% in favor of keeping the article.

In terms of strength of argument, many "keep" opinions invoke the WP:N guideline. These opinions must be discounted, because lack of notability of the topic is not the reason for which deletion is sought. Instead, the nomination argues that the contents of the article constitute original research by synthesis, i.e., "combin[ing] material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source" (WP:SYNTH). In assessing the strength of arguments made here, we must examine whether this argument is made or rebutted convincingly. I find that neither is the case here.

To make a cogent SYNTH case, the "delete" side would have needed to address the specific sources cited in the article, and they would have needed to show how exactly these sources say one thing and the article text says another, and then they would have needed to show that these defects cannot be remedied except by deletion of the article (WP:ATD). But the "delete" side has failed to make their case in this way. They merely allege, but do not demonstrate, inadmissible synthesis.

The "keep" side does not really do better: with the exception of Homerethegreat and a very few others, nobody really addresses the specific sources cited in the article, and how well they correspond to the article text (as would have been needed to rebut a WP:SYNTH deletion rationale). Instead, they make sweeping allegations mostly about how notable the topic is, which, as explained above, is beside the point here.

Consequently, there is no informed consensus to delete the article. A merger discussion or a more convincing renomination for deletion remain possible. Sandstein 13:44, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel (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 looks like a re-creation of an article that was deleted two months ago (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alleged Palestinian genocide of Israelis). The current article suffers from similar issues. The majority of the text in this article is WP:SYNTH, in that the source cited doesn't explicitly say that the Hamas-lead attack constituted genocide. In fact, many of the sources predate the attack, so they can't possibly be making that assertion. The few sources that do explicitly state f should be covered under Second_Holocaust#Claims_that_Palestinians_are_committing_genocide. VR talk 13:33, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please note I included 20 sources referring directly to genocide accusation as well as being after the attack. It is below. Homerethegreat (talk) 14:17, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - article on very notable topic. I wrote it 2 months after the event, seeing along the discourse of experts in the fields of international law, genocide studies, history and more discuss the issue at length and when it became clear that it has received more than enough coverage and it has become clear that the topic has grown notable enough, seeing there was no article written I endeavored and wrote it. The allegation of genocide has/is (depending on time of reading) been brought up to the International Criminal Court in Den Haag. Notable topic has garnered international attention in multiple reputable news outlets as well as WP:NOTABILITY:
There is "Significant coverage" on the allegations, there are Reliable sources that deal with this topic directly, Secondary Sources are used, therefore meets WP:NOTABILITY
Article is also written in neutral language and attributes claims to scholars and therefore avoids wikivoice.
Furthermore, article is not Synth, sources directly refer to the allegation of genocide. Other sources that predate describe background of event which is normal. I will use an example to explain the rationale: Would one deny a source explaining that blue birds live in Madagascar from 1990 and are in danger of extinction when describing the background if those same blue birds were extinct in 2020?
Furthermore, regarding propositions to merge to 2023 Israel-Hamas war article or The Hamas attack article, it has already been raised multiple times in these articles that there is need to make child articles so that those articles do not become to long and burdensome. Furthermore, topic is of such repute that it is worthy per notability explanation above to be its own stand alone article.
Furthermore, this article deals with a specific event on a specific point of time, not the notion of fear from second holocaust. Indeed holocaust describes a different category of slaughter which would destroy or significantly wipe out part of the Jewish people. This is not the case here and therefore should not be merged with the article proposed for merger. Homerethegreat (talk) 14:30, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You said that this topic can't be merged into Second Holocaust because it doesn't deal with "destroy or significantly wipe out part of the Jewish people".

  • Policy requires that we evaluate this subject for notability on its individual merits - AFD for another article is irrelevant.
  • Any concerns regarding WP:SYNTH or other content disputes can and should be addressed through editing, not deletion.
The topic of the article is undeniably notable through direct coverage in reliable and secondary sources. Here are just a few examples demonstrating the notability of this topic:
  • Israeli families bring genocide complaint against Hamas to ICC reported by Al Jazeera.
  • How the term “genocide” is misused in the Israel-Hamas war from The Economist.
  • Hamas has genocidal intentions against Israel - White House, reported by The Jerusalem Post.
  • Hamas's Genocidal Intentions Were Never a Secret by Bruce Hoffman, published in The Atlantic.
  • 9 bereaved Israeli families bring ICC war crime, genocide complaint against Hamas. The Times of Israel.
These sources are not only reputable but also directly relevant to the topic at hand without any original synthesis. They provide significant coverage and come from reliable outlets, fulfilling the criteria for notability as per WP:GNG. Marokwitz (talk) 18:20, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Some Israelis filing papers at the ICC, which anyone can do, is not even news. The Palestinian genocide accusation was a well sourced reality before the current indiscriminate bombing of Gaza and that is why it survived AfD and the ridiculous Alleged Palestinian genocide of Israelis did not, and neither should this. The Hamas attack constitutes war crimes no doubt and that is covered at War crimes in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war otherwise one attack does not a genocide make, this is just an invented topic with no real history until October 7. Selfstudier (talk) 12:21, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that Palestinian genocide accusation also widely refers to events from 7 October onwards. I honestly find it confusing, on the one hand some editors say there should be sources only from after 7 October, others suggest from before 7 October, I'm finding it absurd. I understand this is a hot and notable topic. Please read the sources presented and familiarize yourself with the topic. Homerethegreat (talk) 14:13, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete & Start Over -- this topic as stated last time is irretrievably NPOV as long as it does not include both sides of this conflict. For every source about one side's atrocities, there is one about the other's. It is unencyclopaedic to take sides and give WP:UNDUE weight to one viewpoint. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 20:01, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This is contradictory. By suggesting to start over, you are acknowledging the notability of the page's topic, therefore it should be kept, and any issues addressed through content edits. Marokwitz (talk) 10:55, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    No, quite the opposite. My objections are not based on WP:GNG. As I stated, the focus of the article as it stands is irretrievably biased. It is, imo, literally impossible to write an NPOC article with a one-sided, islamophobic title. It could be encyclopaedic if you WP:TNT and build an article about claims of genocide across the Israeli-Hamas conflict. I chose not to use the TNT tag because someone objected in another AfD, claiming that it was inappropriate in the context of the mutual atrocities on both sides. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 12:12, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the best article that we can compare this to is the Allegations of genocide of Ukrainians in the Russo-Ukrainian War. I will note the current article is actually modeled partially on the above per consistency and precedent. The Russians also claim that Ukraine is commiting genocide against Russians in the Donbas see Accusations of genocide in Donbas. In the Allegations of genocide of Ukrainians it is focused on Russian actions, international response, academic discourse etc... There is its own article, whilst Russian accusations have there own article. Therefore there is precedent. I will also mention that there are other specific item allegation Wikipedia articles such as Palestinian Genocide Accusation, should it be combined with a wide article on genocide accusations in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? As I recall it I actually tried to advance such a scheme in this particular however it was rejected and therefore it is article per topic. Homerethegreat (talk) 14:09, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Any time we have articles that focus on a conflict, behaviour or attitude from a single side, we enable bigotry. In this case, the accusations of genocidal behaviour and policies are rampant, from and towards all sides. In such a situation, imho, it both unwise and against NPOV to have single-sided articles. Last1in (talk) 23:30, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The use of "genocide" to describe things that are not genocidal is problematic. Wiki's policy is to reflect reliable sources, so I'm not currently voting either way, but it feels like every group is calling things genocide to cut through social-media noise, and it's problematic. Drsmoo (talk) 19:22, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There are several definitions of "genocide". Your argument relies on using one of them and ignoring the others. Popular definitions emphasise the idea of industrial scale mass murder; some scholarly and legal definitions are much broader, and include as "genocide" actions on significantly smaller scales, and even actions which don't involve killing anyone at all. Arguments that the Hamas attack was genocide are relying on those broader scholarly and legal definitions, not the much narrower popular one. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 23:26, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't imagine Drsmoo would be moved in his belief that the term 'genocide' is over-applied with a reminder that the term is sometimes applied to cases that do not match a stricter definition of genocide. Zanahary (talk) 03:14, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It is well established that Hamas is genocidal (by the “old definition”) in intent. However, there is a kind of inverse “euphemism treadmill” where every group wants to be the loudest and to do so jumps to the worst name possible to get the attention of an increasingly jaded populace. Eventually a new word will be used for the old definition, rinse repeat. It is well established that Hamas committed crimes against humanity, per what would be the old terminology. Words change meaning, genocide already seems to be broadly redefined to the new meaning in any case. Drsmoo (talk) 04:35, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A lot of the evidence for them being genocidal is based on things that are deliberately out of context, e.g. threats of violence that leave out, "if Israel don't stop (some specific injustice) we will…" to look like the violence itself is the goal for it's own sake. Irtapil (talk) 01:18, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Or just years out of date.Irtapil (talk) 03:05, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The point is the broader definition is the original one. Raphael Lemkin coined the word "genocide" in his 1944 book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe, and he included as examples of genocide the Nazi attempts to suppress French and Dutch culture; the 1948 Genocide Convention's definition is narrower than Lemkin's, but still a lot broader than the popular definition. Most people who argue from the narrower popular definition are doing so in ignorance of the fact that the broader definitions are older and more authoritative.

  • Keep. First of all, the nominator did not provide any valid justification for deletion. This is not a recreation. The "Alleged Palestinian genocide of Israelis" (see last version) was on entirely different subject and had almost no overlap with this page.

Irtapil (talk) 19:21, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are making strange point. Yes, they are terrorists and they were making genocide in Israel. Exactly. This is nothing special. Consider Armenian genocide.

  • KEEP - It is important to keep this article to put the accusations in the proper perspective and historical context. Obviously the allegations massively stretch the "or in part" section of the definition of genocide (and the evidence for "with the intent to" is spurious). BUT the story is that there are accusations and not that any reasonable unbiased person would describe this event as "genocide" or even an "attempted genocide" - especially in light of 1948 to 2023-10-06 and 2023-10-09 until the present moment.

    I think the genocide accusation article needs to stay separate, to put the genocide accusations in their proper context and perspective, it needs to exist for the same reason as climate denial or the great replacement theory or holocaust denial or AIDS denial or any of the other dangerously dubious ideas that need good Wikipedia articles about them.
    I think bits of this current article are salvageable to create a good article on that concept. Possibly combined with bits of another deleted article somebody mentioned above. If we keep deleting it, new bad articles will keep popping up. It would be better to turn it into a good article.
    If we expand the scope it could be exaggerated claims about Hamas in which we could include "40 beheaded babies" (which was actually 40 civilians under 18, one of whom was possibly beheaded, which is still awful, but not "40 beheaded babies") and "alleged similarity to ISIS" (when they actually hate ISIS, like most other Muslims do, and arrested multiple people in Gaza with alleged connections to or sympathies for ISIS). Or something that includes accusations made against Israelis in the current war the are proven false, like that the truck loads of blindfolded men were lined up and shot.
    But it could be better to keep this separate, because "40 beheaded babies" was factually false, whereas the "October 7 Genocide" claim is much more subjective.
    Or possibly put the focus back to the prior article which was "Alleged Palestinian genocide of Israelis" (meaning the one i already linked above - I'm not sure that redirect is really appropriate) because I suspect the current rhetoric of "they are trying to wipe us out, so we need to do it to them first" is a dangerous reoccurring theme and continually just deleting articles that pop up to push that agenda is massively counter-productive.

    @Irtapil This is a really interesting point. But can it be done based on existing sources, or do you expect that other sources will emerge exploring Israeli use of mirror politics? This proposed shift in direction is intriguing, but the underlying topic is already seriously lacking in terms of WP:SIGCOV, and OR/SYNTH (or repeated attempts at such) are rampant on this page. If you are aware of sources treating this allegation as a dangerous and discredited propaganda tool, I'd be interested to see them for my own edification. WillowCity(talk) 02:32, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I do not see a problem with the sourcing. बिनोद थारू (talk) 05:50, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: this page has few redeeming features: the page is more a mausoleum of rhetoric from marginal figures than it is a serious topic in its own right - much of it would be more fitting in a reactions section or page about the conflict. The structure seems improvised and the article is replete with synth (less so after a cull). Even if it were to be deemed worthy as a standalone topic per WP:PAGEDECIDE (and that I doubt, since the context of the statements is everything and thus it makes more sense contextualised), this rendition would not be it. This is a WP:TNT affair. Iskandar323 (talk) 21:06, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The claims that this is not a valid deletion reason are bizarre; the nomination statement makes sense and does not appear to violate any policy I can think of. The information here should clearly be dealt with on articles it is related to, such as Hamas, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, and 2023 Israel–Hamas war, where appropriate. -- asilvering (talk) 02:30, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article is a textbook example of WP:SYNTH. The existence of the article itself seems to imply that the allegations themselves have notability, but the article is just a bunch of people making those allegations. None of the sources do any analysis to establish why this topic deserves its own article. I still don't know why people think Wikipedia is a place to propagandize but the bias in this article is obvious. – FenixFeather (talk)(Contribs) 11:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Marokwitz, Dovidroth and homerethegreat. Notable topic, well sourced by mainstream media. Noon (talk) 12:12, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this is clearly a notable topic and well source. I don't feel the nomination statement is supported by the content of the two articles with the old, now deleted, 'Alleged Palestinian genocide of Israelis' article focusing on a different subject to this one. If people feel there are issues with this article then they should to be fixed not purged. ThinkingTwice contribs | talk 13:01, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; clearly notable subject per Homerethegreat and others. Jweiss11 (talk) 19:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - as a blatant SYNTH violation. There is maybe one source discussing this as a topic. This is similar to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamas and the Taliban analogy, where people were collecting sources making such an analogy and then constructing a topic about the analogy. But those sources did not cover the topic, they were the topic. Here, there are sources discussing genocidal intent in Hamas's original charter (and every source that pre-dates the attack is obviously SYNTH in an article about accusations about the attack), sources saying that the attack was an act of genocide, and those are the subject of the article, not sources covering the subject, and a few sources covering academics saying it was an act of genocide, and that would be a secondary source about the topic. But that last chunk is the smallest chunk in the sources, and they dont establish this as a notable topic. This belongs as a section in the article on the attack, as those sources are secondary sources discussing that topic. But here, this is mostly cobbled together with a. sources that should not be used (all of them published prior to the attack), and b. what are primary sources here (the ones making the accusation themselves). nableezy - 20:31, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, lets take a look at that supposedly impressive list of sources. #2, The Economist. The only place it says "genocide" is where it says As a share of Israel’s population, it is equivalent to 12 September 11th attacks—a daily mortality rate exceeded only by full-scale wars, genocides or natural disasters. That is not an accusation Hamas committed genocide on 7 October. That is, apparently, the result of somebody googling "genocide Hamas October 7" and then not reading the results before posting them here. So for the people claiming the list of sources support the article, did you even read those sources? nableezy - 13:21, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete. Yet another WP:CFORK in this exaggeratedly contentious topic area. Per Nableezy I don't think there's a lot of actual content of the article we should keep and I support that it be merged into Second Holocaust. This article is just another name-calling WP:SYNTH amalgamation. There's little more in this page other than "X said this". Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 23:21, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
War crimes in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. Already exists. However we really needed to have an article of the same thing but calling what the opposing side did a genocide, because that's the trend now. An absolute insult to actual genocides such as that of the Armenians or the Holocaust. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 11:26, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unencyclopaedic topic. We don't make lists of possible views; the broader topic is covered at Islamophobia. Fermiboson (talk) 05:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If merged and/or redirected, I might recommend Islamophobia in the media rather than Islamophobia more generally. However, as Maddy from Celeste has noted, we have similar articles for other defamatory tropes. I have also included a quick list of articles that discuss Islamophobic tropes on the article's talk page. If we don't merge/redirect, I might recommend draftifying. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 14:31, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Islamophobia in the media: This may be a notable topic, but this is far from it and WP:TNT is sorely needed for this one. As it stands this fails WP:LISTN due to a lack of definable criteria. No prejudice towards someome else recreating this at a later date. Let'srun (talk) 21:22, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A quick check suggest that this topic meets WP:GNG when you include such common synonyms as "myths" and "anti-muslim". There exists enough sources that the article could be expanded from its current state (which is not good, but quality is not a good argument for deletion). I also think it makes sense to have a separate article for this, like Antisemitic trope and Anti-LGBT rhetoric. Sjö (talk) 07:38, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify Keep per WP:BEFORE's criteria D4 -- I agree with the Keep !voters above that the article should exist, and the nomination seems very much in the category of WP:ZEAL (it came less than three hours after the initial creation). That said, this is not the article that needs to exist. At the moment, it is nothing more than a flat list of statements with no context or explanation, and there is no encyclopaedic treatment of the subject. Draftify will allow the editor to build it out and get assistance from others who might be willing to find Quality sources are out there. A casual glance at gScholar shows that the subject is widely discussed in academic literature [27], [28], [29]. A key term that editors may want to include is Orientalism, the precursor to Islamophobia. Also, there seems to be good secondary articles on such tropes in Buddhism ([30], [31], etc.)that could globalise the article. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 15:13, 29 November 2023 (UTC) Last1in (talk) 18:11, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree with draftifying; it is in mainspace that articles may develop. If we draftify, realistically, the only one who will know or care about the draft will be whoever created it. In mainspace, it will be more visible and thus will solicit improvements from a larger range of editors. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 15:47, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Good point. Per WP:BEFORE's D4, If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination (emphasis in original). I will change my !vote above. It does sorta raise the question of what Draftify is for, though. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 18:04, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The article's talk page has a list of sources that may be used to expand the article.Sjö (talk) 06:13, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Nom comment Without comment on the rest of the arguments, I resent the implication that this is a WP:ZEAL nomination. The article as it stands then and now is highly unencyclopaedic, and it was not clear what type of sources could be used. (I would argue it is still not clear, because the scope of the article is poorly defined. Trope and rhetoric are different things, and there's also the "by whom" question.) This is a highly contentious topic, one in which it could be argued that an unencyclopaedic entry is worse than having no entry. Someone who actually bothers to make an improvement can make a new article if it is needed, and in the meantime, letting the article as it currently is stay up unchanged because someone can hypothetically change it for the better is irresponsible (note that having an imperfect article is not an argument for deletion, but TNT is). If the AfD does close as keep without any improvement, I will probably be TNT stubifying the article. After all, if this was clearly inside ARBPIA, it'd have been db-gs'd centuries ago.

  • Draftify - I'm inclined to think that this is a worthy article for inclusion but I have no idea how it could be fairly written without WP:OR. Fwiw I disagree that this could/should be a redirect to an article about the media because the notion of a "trope" is that it has a life outside of the published media.

  • Comment: the article now is essentially the same as it was when nominated. Regardless of the outcome of this AfD, the nomination was appropriate and made in good faith. The accusation of WP:ZEAL is baseless. Owen× 11:03, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    You do understand that WP:ZEAL has nothing to do with zealotry, right? It has to do with a rush to delete an article before we know whether it's worth keeping. A better name for it would be WP:OVERPROTECTIVE. There is nothing about bad faith in that entire guideline (nor intended in my use of it), just that some folks propose an article for deletion before editors have a chance to build it out. Anytime an article comes up for AfD a mere hours after creation, ZEAL is a reasonable part of the discussion. In this case, the article was (and is) labeled a stub, the nomination came three hours after the first post, and I feel that the subject does have valid scholarly sources as I linked above. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 12:58, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I know exactly what WP:ZEAL is about, and I stand by my statement. Whether it was three hours or three months, if the article wasn't ready for main namespace, it should have been introduced in draftspace. The topic could have--and I believe should have--been developed inside the Islamophobia in the media article, and only spun off if and when its size and independent notability allowed for a standalone page. WP:ZEAL is an essay intended to discourage editors from nominating articles that haven't had a chance to get fleshed out. It is not an automatic waiver against nomination of pages less than X days old. Yes, ZEAL is indeed often part of the discussion when the nomination comes shortly after the article's creation, but that is not to say that it is always a reasonable part of the discussion. If the potential to mature into a viable article isn't apparent, article age is irrelevant, and a ZEAL accusation is unreasonable and unnecessarily antagonistic.

    First, I made no accusations here, and there is no reason to be nasty about it. Until a few hours ago, this was a discussion on the merits of the article, not the editors. I found an AfD where (1) I easily located hundreds of quality RSs many of which could help make this a good article (I posted my WP:THREE), and (2) the AfD came three hours after the article's first post (which felt like -- still feels like -- overprotectiveness). Whether it should have started in draft space or not, AfD is not for cleanup and I felt Draftify was a good option. Maddy's point about draftifying an existing, mainspace article felt persuasive to me so I moved from Draftify to Keep. If this is is again going to devolve into insults and accusations, I'll take my leave. Thank you and good day. Last1in (talk) 14:46, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I've been watching this since the nom. and hoping someone else would find something, but as it is on the second relist, I've taken a fuller look. I am unimpressed by an argument that says "are generally notable." If this is notable, there will be sources. If there are no sources, it is unclear how any encyclopaedic page can be written. The nom specifically cites WP:ORGSIG which says No company or organization is considered inherently notable. No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is. So is this notable? I can't find sources talking about it. There is a touch more about the Welsh Health Common Services Authority which also has no page (not the same thing). There was a Welsh Centre for Rural Health and an institute for Health Informatics that were funded by Welsh Government but independent. There were a whole plethora of Welsh Health organisations over the years, all of which would be scraping the barrel to find their way beyond permastub status as pages. What is missing, I think, is some kind of page looking at the healthcare landscape in Wales. We have NHS Wales but that is largely the current situation. The Wales Centre for Health could be mentioned in an as yet unwritten page looking at the historical situation, but there is not notability for a page in its own right.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Subject is not notable. I cannot find mention of it in either of the sources, nor the external links. A search for more sources turns up no mentions in any reliable sources. Admittedly the topic is difficult to search for since it is unlikely to be called the "Pentaapeirogonal tiling". It's more likely to be referred to by symbol or diagram, which are difficult to search for. It is however unlikely that this receives any significant note, because it doesn't appear to have any unique properties among the uniform tilings of the hyperbolic plane. All the properties in the article are pretty trivially derived from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram.

It would be better served as a single entry in a list of uniform tilings if any of these properties could even be sourced. AquitaneHungerForce (talk) 03:18, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Disputed PROD. Non-notable location with little information found. Satellite image of coordinates does show a cluster of small buildings surrounded by desert, suggesting this may be a populated place; however, without any legal recognition, it fails WP:GEOLAND. All mentions found have been passing, confirming that this is a place, but without further information nothing can be said. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 03:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Newspapers.com brings up a 1977 legal notice mentioning To that portion of the unincorporated area generally known as Aerial Acres .... Another reference to it from 1985 as a development between Mojave and Rosemond. Several passing mentions to things being located there or occurring there refer to Aerial Acres, Edwards or Aerial Acres, North Edwards, suggesting that this development is a locale within or related to Edwards, California or North Edwards, California. The book Gem Trails of Southern California by one James R. Mitchell has this as a "small group of homes and trailers". I'm struggling to find any sort of significant history for this site; the indications I am seeing are of this location as an informal housing development.

  • Keep per WP:GEOLAND and the legal notice above. बिनोद थारू (talk) 04:29, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: there are 50-60 homes clumped together in some sort of old development. Aerial Acres is now a scruffy-looking place deep in the middle of nowhere. Our article says it's supposedly a "fly-in community" but I see no sign of airplanes or a runway when looking at Google Earth[32] I don't want to hurt any residents' feelings but Aerial Acres is a bleak, unpromising place. Google Street View is even bleaker: desert, dust, dirt roads and occasional yard plantings. There's a high-power rocketry range on the edge of town.[33] The only store is "The Mothership", a second-hand shop; the name makes sense since Aerial Acres looks like the sort of isolated place where alien abductions occur.

    As for "keep" or "delete", recent AfD decisions for obscure California locations have been inconsistent. !voters have kept places with no historically mapped indication of habitation and deleted other places with 500 residents. --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 05:43, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    • They are only inconsistent when one applies totally wrongheaded and daft (given how the encyclopaedia would turn out if everyone applied them) standards like what your subjective opinion is of what the place looks like in Google Earth. If you keep doing it wrong, you're going to keep being the outlier that thinks that everyone else is being inconsistent, when it's actually simply you that's doing it wrong and being inconsistent with subjective measures, over and over and over. Hog Farm has the right approach: research, not subjective personal opinions of Google Earth images. Research would tell you, for starters, that the whole "fly-in" thing is a red herring added by Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs), and that the source that xe cited says no such thing. Uncle G (talk) 10:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Old topo maps give additional information; 32 US Geological Survey maps give time slices of this place's physical history over the last 108 years.

        I would argue that failure to consult these and current satellite imagery is, in fact, "totally wrongheaded and daft", especially when these resources are highly reliable and readily available.

        As for "my subjective opinion", when I count houses, I'd say that's hardly subjective.

        Note that I don't say "fly-in" community is a basis for notability -- in fact I used visual evidence and old maps to debunk the assertion.

        As for "keep" or "delete", I have not cast a !vote -- I've simply presented information.

        So, @Uncle G, aside from taking potshots at me, what's your take on this place? And why? What are your sources? --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 19:07, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

        • A.B., the basic problem is that you're trying to judge this stuff almost entirely off of maps, which just doesn't work. Try Martensdale, California - a notable former community in this county which does not show up on maps. Same with Dubuque, Arkansas, which I wrote awhile back and have struggled to find a map showing the community on it. Meanwhile, a large number of AFDs have held that routine HOA developments/subdivisions/housing tracts without any sort of formal recognition or significant coverage in reliable sources do not warrant a separate article, and those sort of things would appear on maps or when counting houses. Count of houses does not lead to notability - what leads to notability is the history and coverage of the area in RS. Review of maps is often helpful (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Intake, Inyo County, California where map review solved a rather odd situation) but we can't just judge notability based on maps or structure counts. It is rather arbitrary to try to judge notability by how much seeming was/is there from a map perspective, and is frankly a form of original research. Hog Farm Talk 20:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
          • Hog Farm, I don’t know if this place is notable or not. I do think maps, photography and satellite imagery should be part of the mix in evaluating these places. My instincts tell me this place is probably not notable but I want to see what other information turns up here. Looking at old maps, this place grew up with Edwards AFB - it may have been a failed development. There are multiple unbuilt, unused roads. We’ll see. —A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 21:20, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
            • No. Giving us your subjective opinion and then even worse asking us for our subjective opinions too, and not even checking whether "fly-in" is true by simply applying the verifiability policy and seeing that the source said no such thing and that Carlossuarez46 just added that conclusion taken from thin air (which I've seen done in many Carlossuarez46 substubs, alas) are utterly the wrong approach to content. Uncle G (talk) 05:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • And you're still getting it wrong. "My take" from looking at Google Earth or aerial photographs isn't how to construct an article. The only use of looking at maps is to tell us what to look for when the article doesn't even say, or when we know that Carlossuarez46 just pulled things out of a hat when dumping GNIS data, and sometimes to check that a source found is talking about the same place and not another place by the same name. Uncle G (talk) 05:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm with Hog Farm, except that a Rand McNally commercial atlas puts this under the umbrella of California City, California, and other things just give this as a prose list of minor residential places that are "rural and low-population density" in the Antelope Valley. Rand McNally says ("RMC Place") that this is simply an entry in the California Rivers and Mountains Conservancy database and points to California City ("incl. with California City (Inc. Place)") for details. I think that we should follow the Rand McNally lead and redirect to California City, California. Uncle G (talk) 10:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Uncle G, I’m confused. You criticized me above for using decades worth of USGS topo maps plus satellite imagery with strong language like ”totally wrongheaded and daft”. Now you’re using a Rand McNally atlas? What’s up with that? —A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 21:27, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Actually, I'm using its gazetteer, which has Rand McNally's description, in words, which I even quoted outright right in front of your nose there, not a subjective analysis of "scruffy-looking place deep in the middle of nowhere" or "I see no sign of airplanes or a runway". Do you really not understand the difference between your own subjective guesswork and consulting an authoritative source? Asking me for my subjective guesswork instead of what I read in a source shows that you are still utterly wrongheaded here. We don't do this. It's daft. Think about what would happen if everyone evaluated subjects this way.

        We don't know what the thing is. We know from long experience that Carlossuarez46 just made up things, perhaps helpfully intended (in the knowledge that "unincorporated community" is meaningless when you are saying it in hundreds of thousands of data-dump articles) but still outright made up from whole cloth. So the obvious approach is not to squint at photographs and guess and tell us how something is "bleak" and "scruffy", but to consult a gazetteer. They tell us what things on maps are.

  • Weak Keep. I'm inclined to keep unless there's a better argument to fold it into something else. I'm not sure if this lies within the North Edwards, California CDP, but there are definitely references to "Aerial Acres" as its own community. There was a local newspaper, not online, called the Boron Enterprise, that i see a reference to being the only paper that cared about Aerial Acres and other local communities. Total aside, i must also give props to A. B., for his color commentary "I don't want to hurt any residents' feelings but Aerial Acres is a bleak, unpromising place....the name makes sense since Aerial Acres looks like the sort of isolated place where alien abductions occur."--Milowenthasspoken 13:10, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Uncle G, so why is one Rand McNally gazetteer more reliable than decades worth of USGS maps? That's repeated aerial photogrammetry and goundtruthing by an American federal agency. Is all this not from "an authoritative source" as you put it?
Is it just because the United States Geological Survey presents data graphically and Rand McNally uses prose?
As I wrote previously: "I do think maps, photography and satellite imagery should be part of the mix in evaluating these places.". Each AfD is a puzzle to solve and we all bring different pieces.
And as for my language like "scruffy" which you still make such a big deal of, what Milowent already observed as "color commentary", I put that stuff in for fun. A sanctionable violation of some obscure WP:PG?
I continue to think this is just a very old subdivision.

  • WP:MAPCITE is very good however it is an essay. I think my usage of maps is in line with the essayist’s views on maps.
  • I will note that Google Earth images are reliable however all the labels they associate with the image are very unreliable and should never be used. Perhaps they use GNIS?

Notability (geographic features)#Settlements and administrative regions says one of these can make a populated place notable:
  • "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low."
  • This is not a legally recognized place.
  • "Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG.

  • Comment: I made a comment on the "Boron History" page on facebook asking about news coverage of Aerial Acres and got this response: "Not much is written about Aerial Acres from what I found in old clippings it was known as "Poor Man's Paradise" Aerial Acres was made up of homesteads established somewhere between 1916 to 1918, (this was before North Edwards was developed. It did have a small airstrip at one time. Aerial Acres was part of California City and annexed in the late 1980's/ early 1990's and it went back to Kern County and California City got Wonder Acres."--Milowenthasspoken 13:47, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting again. After User:Milowent's latest comment, I think Redirection might be a suitable outcome but closures are based on consensus, not the closer's opinion. Milowent, are you still standing by your Keep opinion?

The subject seemingly played one game for the Jamaica women's national football team a few years ago. However, she does not meet WP:GNG in my opinion. I found this article from the Jamaica Observer, which is a good start, but everything else that came up in my searches are passing mentions (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) JTtheOG (talk) 01:57, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The subject, a Venezuelan women's footballer, has not received sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. The closest thing to WP:SIGCOV I found was this, which are mostly quotes from the subject. Otherwise, it's all passing mentions (1, 2, 3, etc.) JTtheOG (talk) 01:46, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of Indonesian schools abroad (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)

Reviewed during NPP. From a wp:notability standpoint, there are no references which cover the topic as such. Regarding being a list article, there is really nothing that says what it actually is. What is an "Indonesian school"? Without that, IMO, besides failing wp:notability it really has no specific defined content or sourcing that included schools meet that non-existent criteria.
