Non-notable artist. Lacks independent sigcov. Jdcooper (talk) 02:21, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

By the Schwarzwaelder Bote (Black Forest Messenger) on the occasion of his family donating part of his real estate to the community after his death in 1995. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 21:14, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I am not finding any reliable sources to add to the biographical information presented in the article. his entry on Dewiki cannot be used to bring the subject up to notable. It was created by the same SPA in English and in German. This artist does not meet WP:NARTIST. He has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition or been represented within the permanent collections of any notable galleries or museums. Additionally, the second of the two references (museum stuff) failed verification. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 04:26, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment There is more than one Franz Bucher and specifically there is a German sculptor (1928-1995) and a Swiss painter 1836-1919. A google search for "Franz Bucher artist" will bring up information about all three. Reviewers should be aware that finding an article about an artist in German isn't necessarily about the living Swiss artist. Again, I am finding no reliable sources for the information provided in this article and no way to bring the article up to notable. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 21:16, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find sourcing for him in Gscholar (only a marine/fish scholar with the same name), jstor has nothing. Will try a .ch search, see what I find. Oaktree b (talk) 22:19, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. He seems to have some works in the Geneva art Museum [2], his biography gives the date of birth and city that match up with this fellow. Oaktree b (talk) 22:21, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
He's not listed in the Historik Lexicon der Schweiz [3], which is odd. That's the RS and gold standard for Swiss biographies. He's listed in SIKART [4], found from the German Wiki. He appears to have won awards and his works are held in several collections, but my German is useless. Oaktree b (talk) 22:25, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. I am not exactly overwhelmed by the quality of the available sources, but the SIKART entry (the one about him, b. 1940, authored by Fabrizio Brentini) gives some pretty solid material to work with. In addition there seems to be an (unfortunately paywalled) focused article on him in Luzerner Zeitung. Various supplementary sources here and there, and a couple of books, which I assume are mostly pictures but at least the former of which seem to be from a legitimate publisher (and as to the latter, I'm a bit unclear on this "Gisler" press from Luzern might have been, but it does seem to have found its way into some pretty fancy libraries). Overall I think it is possible to have an article on him, and therefore we should give it our best shot, although the person(s) behind these articles haven't exactly been helping. -- Visviva (talk) 02:55, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - the subject of this article clearly doesn't meet points 2 and 3 of WP:BLP1E, especially point 3. — Crumpled Firecontribs 23:09, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On the contrary, he does very much meet point 2. And with regards to point 3, I will contest that it weren’t his actions during the expedition that caused the mishap, so he’s not independently notable for it. Basically he was just one of the occupants, his role in the loss of Titan wasn’t substantial. Carbon case of what this policy was written for.Tvx1 23:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Definitely a notable businessman prior to the wreck, with full length sources from months and years ago: [5], [6], [7]Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 23:13, 22 June 2023 (UTC).[reply]
Not true. If he had been a notable businessman prior to his death, he would have already have had an article. There’s nothing spectacular about his business activities.Tvx1 23:19, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
He is now the central character in a major international news story. People will remember this incident and the person responsible for years to come. I'd say his backstory, which had many elements that led up to the implosion of the Titan, is relevant for historical purposes. 96.241.148.20 (talk) 23:26, 22 June 2023 (UTC)96.241.148.20 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
The central character in ONE EVENT! People like him is exactly what Wikipedia:BLP1E was written for. Nothing in your comment justifies his article.Tvx1 23:30, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That argument doesn't work. BLP1E isn't satisfied because the third criterion states it has to be insignificant, whereas this was significant. 2A00:23C6:B894:FA01:815C:3D36:1E41:964D (talk) 23:39, 22 June 2023 (UTC)2A00:23C6:B894:FA01:815C:3D36:1E41:964D (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
No his role in the incident has to have been substantial, which is not the case. There is nothing that suggests that his piloting of the vessel caused the breakup. His role in the accident isn’t in any way more important than that of the other four occupants.Tvx1 23:44, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
His piloting of the vessel doesn't need to be the cause of the sub breaking up in order for his role to be substantial - that's a subjective interpretation of what is meant by 'substantial'. And clearly his role is more important than the other four occupants - this incident revolves entirely around a sub that he and those working for him designed and built. He himself dismissed concerns about the safety of the design, and then he himself was piloting it. The incident doesn't even happen without his involvement, so his involement is objectively substantial. 176.254.143.249 (talk) 23:51, 22 June 2023 (UTC)176.254.143.249 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
It's a big personal conjecture on you part to state it would not have happened without him. The expedition was executed by a company, not a person. They could have done that with another CEO as well. Also there is confirmation that design errors by him caused this, your are making wild assumptions here. There's nothing here about that incident that wasn't already included elsewhere. This is largely a content fork.Tvx1 23:56, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, he wasn’t the pilot. Second of all, he’s the CEO of the company and had final say in the design decisions of the sub, which ultimately led to a lack of proper engineering and safety standards that led to the implosion. 42.3.105.87 (talk) 23:53, 22 June 2023 (UTC)42.3.105.87 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
We don't know that yet. There has not been any confirmation that the break-up was the result of design flaws. And even if so, there were multiple engineers working for the company who all could be responsible.Tvx1 23:57, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
From BLP1E: 'John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant, and his role was both substantial and well documented.' This article clearly meets those conditions and there is a precedent. 176.254.143.249 (talk) 23:42, 22 June 2023 (UTC)176.254.143.249 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
No it doesn't. These case are not comparable. That assassination attempt was completely orchestrated and executed by Hinckley. It wouldn't have happened without him. In this case, there's nothing to suggest that the accident was caused by Rush's piloting. His role in the cause wasn't substantial at all. He was just as much an occupant and victim as the other four. Tvx1 23:52, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
His piloting of the vessel doesn't need to be the cause of the sub breaking up in order for his role to be substantial. The Reagan assassination does not happen without Hinckley and the Titan incident does now happen without Rush. 176.254.143.249 (talk) 23:55, 22 June 2023 (UTC)176.254.143.249 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
That analogy is just not true. He wasn't needed at all for that submersible to be operated. Tvx1 23:59, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. Definitely notable for more than one event, there are a lot of sources ranging from years ago to now easily found online. Icehax (talk) 23:16, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Then why was no one interested in writing an article for him prior to his death? Tvx1 23:18, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That was then; this is now. Though deceased, he is an internationally recognized figure following this news story that made headlines around the world. 96.241.148.20 (talk) 23:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC)96.241.148.20 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
ONE news story. See WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia’s policies before taking part in a procedure like AFD. Tvx1 23:34, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. As per above. Death Editor 2 (talk) 23:21, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
None of which are valid arguments, so neither is yours.Tvx1 23:24, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, you are wrong in this case. Death Editor 2 (talk) 23:30, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, you are. Please read the sites content policies. Anything worth mentioning about this person can be put in the articles on his company and on the accident that claimed his life.Tvx1 23:34, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Clearly notable, and a valid split from OceanGate. I have to disagree with Tvx1's assertion that If he had been a notable businessman prior to his death, he would have already have had an article. Given that we continue to write new articles on Wikipedia, that can't be the case. Mackensen (talk) 23:27, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry but that’s nonsense. A notable businessman who had been active for decades, yet was of interest to no one here prior to dying?? Please just admit the reality that no one would be interested in an article on this person if he hadn’t died this week. Tvx1 23:38, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    But the fact he did die and was a central figure in a significant event IS enough. You're not giving enough weight to the situation 2A00:23C6:B894:FA01:815C:3D36:1E41:964D (talk) 23:42, 22 June 2023 (UTC)2A00:23C6:B894:FA01:815C:3D36:1E41:964D (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
    No it isn't. Please actually read Wikipedia's content policies. Why do you keep acting with such a know-it-all attitude, even though you haven't any edit whatsoever to this site outside this AFD? Tvx1 00:06, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP, he was notable before the implosion i think, but is only more notable now. Iljhgtn (talk) 23:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    No he wasn’t. That’s why we didn’t have an article on him before.Tvx1 23:31, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A lot of these "notable" people write their own articles about themselves, and perhaps Rush didn't think that was important or didn't have the inclination to do it. Just because there wasn't an article before, doesn't mean that after becoming world famous he isn't worthy of an article now. 96.241.148.20 (talk) 23:43, 22 June 2023 (UTC)96.241.148.20 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
    That must have been the worst argument I have read here so far. Tvx1 00:07, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep otherwise Merge and redirect into OceanGate. Rush is unquestionably notable now from the events following Sunday. However, the information in this rather quickly compiled article would be sufficient if moved to the main article of the OceanGate of which he was CEO. Notoriety prior to the Titan incident would indicate an article having been written previously, this is not the case.

If a substantial article can be written on his background, which would be the entirety of his life leading up to the incident, then an article is fine. Otherwise, a detailed section in the OceanGate article would suffice. 11wallisb (talk) 23:38, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - Firstly, he's had coverage in a myriad of sources before the submersible incident and that compounded with the recent coverage makes him notable. Wikipedia is a work in progress; just because he didn't have an article before does not equate to him not meeting notability requirements now that he does. Additionally, considering that he's now dead, that offers a greater degree of separation between him and OceanGate, which will presumably get a new CEO and move on. - Knightoftheswords281 (Talk · Contribs) 23:43, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Bolsena and redirect. I tried. I really, really tried but just couldn't find enough to save this one. I spent about over an hour on this. There are reliable references but they are insufficient to establish notability; they will support a paragraph in our Bolsena article. (Bolsena is the nearby town).

The "Legend" section of the article - nice story but I've found zero to support it - not even junk sites. The legend appears in the Italian version without a reference, either. I deleted it.

Some tourist sites refer to The Thrown Stones as part of a UNESCO Geopark or Heritage Site; it doesn't appear on UNESCO"s site with either the Italian or English name.[8][9] UNESCO also has an interactive world map of all its sites; there were no UNESCO geological sites in this area.

In all my searches, I checked the Italian name ("Pietre lanciate") as well as the English name. "Thrown stones" is so generic a search term as to generate a bazillion false hits, so I constrained the search by adding Bolsena to it. Here are my search results[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] - either false hits, passing mentions or unreliable commercial tourism sites.

I found reliable results using Google Scholar but the papers I found just made passing mention of the Thrown Stones.[23]

This appears to be a paper describing volcanic features in the Province of Viterba; I think its part of the application process to get the Lazio/Viterba area (not just our Thrown Stones) recognized as a UNESCO geological site for its volcanic features. It mentions the Thrown Stones.

This is a decent article about the Thrown Stones that's not obvious junk; if you believe it's from a reliable site, it's probably enough to establish notability. I don't think it's from what we would call a reliable source but others should look at it. I read it in translation.

This is just a commercial tourist web site. This may be an official local government page about the Thrown Stones but it's just a paragraph of puffery junk.

Here are the Italian article's 4 refs:

  1. Page about the Lazio volcanic region. Mentions the Thrown Stones.[24]
  2. http://geoparcotuscia.provincia.vt.it/pdf/schede/03_Descrizione_Pietre%20Lanciate.pdf could be the smoking gun except the geoparcotuscia.provincia.vt.it sever won't respond. I did multiple searches on the general provincia.vt.it domain and kept coming back to this unhelpful empty page. My guess is that this was for the UNESCO initiative and that maybe it died at some point.
  3. This geology paper gives a good overview of the volcanic region. It mentions the Thrown Stones.
  4. http://geoparcotuscia.provincia.vt.it/pdf/doc/GeositiTuscia.pdf was another non-responding provincial page.

Sorry for the length; this was a big, empty rabbit hole. --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 23:24, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Visviva and WP:GEONATURAL. I suggest renaming "Pietre lanciate" -- that's where I found the most references. Even the junky English-language tourism sites call it that. --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 03:49, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge, with great thanks for A. B.'s very thorough work. Although it was correctly noted above that this probably doesn't meet WP:GEOFEAT, the applicable standard here is actually WP:GEONATURAL, which I think is met here, since this is a named natural feature about which we can provide more than bare statistics. That said, a merge could be perfectly cromulent. I think Lake Bolsena might be a better target in that case. -- Visviva (talk) 03:14, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

After extensive research, I've not found adequate sigcov about Chrom himself. At present, the article is mainly reliant on listicles, passing mentions, and low-quality coverage (such as Chrom getting a fan-made butt mouse pad). I'm not opposed to its existence inherently, but unless some serious work is done, I'm not convinced that Chrom passes notability requirements. Cukie Gherkin (talk) 19:10, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I am not sure I follow the nom's rationale. If their position is to not oppose the article's existence, then why nominate it for an AfD? The definition of significant coverage is quite clear according to the guidelines: more than a trivial mention, but does not need to be the main topic of the source material, and that is the case with the nature of the article's sourcing. Merging is a viable solution if a List of Fire Emblem Awakening characters styled after List of Fire Emblem Fates characters actually exists, and it could work because I've encountered scattered discussions in numerous discussions about various other Awakening characters over the years. Haleth (talk) 20:10, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because I tend to not be a mergist, and if provided with new sources to show notability, I'd be amenable to having my mind changed. I nominated it because I do not feel that the article passes muster. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 20:12, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just want to add that cultural impact goes beyond just fan-made merchandise: the character has stayed relevant by consistently ranking in fan polls over the course of a decade, as well as numerous appearances outside of the original Awakening game in related Fire Emblem media or other games published by Nintendo due to fan demand as opposed to Nintendo company policy, an indicator that the character may be independently notable from an objective PoV. Haleth (talk) 20:17, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'd be surprised if there wasn't more coverage on him out there, between his recurring roles in Fire Emblem and Smash Bros, especially considering how popular both series have been in the past decade. Sergecross73 msg me 22:23, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said, if you can find more coverage, I would be delighted to !vote keep. I'm no fan of merging. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 23:42, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. While some of the sources are left to be desired, I think there's enough significant coverage for this article to be considered generally notable. Pokelego999 (talk) 00:00, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

*Merge Honestly the reception section is big...but it's all trivial. Also going to point out that fan polls while they can be cited shouldn't be leaned on for notability: often they're either primary sources, and there's no proof that the poll itself was accurate as these often don't have safeguards to prevent tampering.

  • Weak keep per nom, although a merge would also be fine. It is always worth considering that that all policies and guidelines draw their authority, if any, from WP:IAR, and thus that no guideline should be followed if it no longer serves the original purpose that made it a valid invocation of IAR against IAR. Anyway, I think a detailed character list is probably the optimal solution here. But since (a) such a list does not currently exist, (b) this character is evidently significant enough that it should be covered in some fairly substantial fashion somewhere, (c) the existing article is quite substantial and appears to serve the user and the project reasonably well, and (d) if merged and not considerably downsized there would be some SIZESPLIT issues anyway, I can see no great value or urgency in what would amount to a merely formal rearrangement of coverage. -- Visviva (talk) 04:45, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - I just find it hard to believe that the coverage for this level of character doesn't exist out there somewhere. It's close now, and it's a rare case where I'd rather attempt to build up what we've already got for now, and revisit it down the line. Sergecross73 msg me 20:19, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source 2 assessment is stated as "Not at all, except for some references"? That is the most egregious interpretation of a source I have seen. Source 2 is clearly independent and clearly an in-depth analysis of the The Business Standard's reporting during Covid. There is also no evidence of a WP:Before given by the nominator. The subject is widely cited as per the !votes - a quick google verifies this. ResonantDistortion 07:29, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep per ResonantDistortion. (I would have endorsed a merge to List of newspapers in Bangladesh, but for some unfortunate reason that list appears to be restricted to bluelinks, so is not a viable merge target.) I am grateful for M.parvage's source assessment, but I would have to join ResonantDistortion in disagreeing with the assessment of Source 2, which indeed seems to be quite in-depth and appears to be reliable and independent. There isn't as much to work with here as one would like (perhaps there are more sources in Bengali?), but this does appear to probably meet at least WP:NMEDIA#Newspapers, magazines and journals. (That's one of two dueling essays on the subject; I think a close reading of NNEWSPAPER will show that that essay's standard is not met, if it matters.) At any rate, in my opinion, newspapers belong in a similar bucket to populated places, in that they represent a kind of encyclopedic background knowledge that warrants tipping the scales toward inclusion even when the sources available are (as they seem to be here) a bit sparse, because even a sparse article provides important value to readers and editors. (I am fond of the term "ecosystem services" for the added value that such articles provide in the overall web of coverage.) In addition, subject to the limitations of WP:V, I think it is also worth tipping the scales against cavalier deletions that aggravate Wikipedia's problems with systemic bias. All that said, there are two things that give me pause: (1) it seems difficult, at scale, to confidently separate citations for The Business Standard from citations for the Business Standard, and (2) this newspaper is not mentioned in List of newspapers in Bangladesh, which seems peculiar but may be due to the newspaper's fairly recent founding (possibly 2018?). -- Visviva (talk) 05:29, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I've expanded the article with another academic source that contains significant analysis of the newspaper.[26] I also agree with all the points that ResonantDistortion, Vinegarymass911, and Visviva have already made here in favor of keeping. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:03, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability. Most sources are from the school's website. One source — the PDF — is long gone with no working archives on the Wayback Machine, one (Manta) is some sort of business listing (only mentioning it in passing), and another (OCT) seems to be a directory of certified teachers, meaning that it only mentions this place in passing at most. The only reference which could be usable is the one from "Our Kids." Trying to find additional sources on Google Search + News, I just found a bunch of sites that regurgitated information you could find on the school's website, more pages from Our Kids that contain the same information as the Our Kids reference on this page, and a page from a parenting magazine with dubious reliability based off of something their principal said. This page can't be redirected to a district page either, as it's a private school. Capsulecap (talkcontribs) 18:49, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mackenzee Wittke

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

WP:BLP of a low-profile person who received a very brief blip of media coverage about a decade ago for having an unusual medical condition, but hasn't had any significant coverage since.
This isn't really making a particularly strong case that she would pass WP:GNG: there's a magazine article, a news story about the publication of that magazine article in another media outlet, and a (deadlinked but waybackable) article that briefly mentions Wittke's existence in the process of being fundamentally about somebody else with the same condition who doesn't have a Wikipedia article. (I've also already merged two other footnotes that were really just repetitions of the magazine article in different forms, such as a PDF of the print copy of the magazine issue that the same article appeared in, and a "sneak peek" preview of the same article in the magazine's "coming in the next issue" newsletter.) So there's really only one genuinely GNG-worthy source here, which isn't enough, and even on a WP:BEFORE search I'm just not really finding much else of value: the only new source I can find that's been published since that magazine article just rehashes the same information without adding anything new.
The first deletion discussion eight years ago foundered on the question of whether she would be subject to WP:BLP1E or not, as it wasn't clear whether anything in the article constituted an "event" per se -- but essentially the notability claim here amounts to "young girl who once had a magazine article published about her", which clearly counts as an event.
She just doesn't have the depth or volume of coverage necessary to justify a permanent intrusion into her and her family's privacy rights, and we have an established rule that due to the potential of a Wikipedia article to cause harm, we have to be especially careful about the notability of minors. So we would need far more than just the absolute bare minimum number of usable footnotes for a technical GNG pass before an article about her was actually warranted.

  • Keep Still seems relevant, she was featured in a 2016 news story [27]. And she may hold the secret to aging acoording to a Macleans article (a reputable Canadian magazine) [28] and in Ars Technica [29]. And a mention in 2021 for a gov't program to study pediatric conditions in Alberta [30] Oddly enough, there is no coverage in Gscholar or Jstor. More than enough sustained coverage for GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 19:33, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The Maclean's article is the same Maclean's article that I already addressed in the nomination statement (i.e. it's fine, but not all by itself enough), the 2016 news story is the same additional source I already addressed in my nomination statement with when I said "the only new source I can find that's been published since that magazine article just rehashes the same information without adding anything new", and the Ars Technica source is just a republication in a different source of the same article I already addressed in my nomination statement when I said "a (deadlinked but waybackable) article that briefly mentions Wittke's existence in the process of being fundamentally about somebody else with the same condition who doesn't have a Wikipedia article". And "mentioned in passing within coverage of other things" doesn't assist notability at all — she isn't the subject of that 2021 piece, and instead just gets briefly glanced at in coverage whose core subject is something else, so it doesn't add any new GNG points above and beyond the sources that were already under discussion. As a low-profile figure with personal privacy rights, we would need a lot more coverage than that to justify intruding into those personal privacy rights. Bearcat (talk) 19:45, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I would consider her condition to be a BLP1E even though it isn't strictly an "event." The articles about her are all brief and reiterate the same facts, sometimes using exactly the same sentences. The one possible reason to either keep this article or add information to the article on Aging is that if medical research turns up substantial information it will be anonymized for reasons of privacy. However, it probably will not be possible to link actual medical research to this person, and Wikipedia should not do so without confirmation. (Her name does not appear in G-Scholar.) Lamona (talk) 18:04, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - a merge to Brooke_Greenberg#Comparable_cases may be feasible - the Maclean's article compares Wittke's condition to Greenberg's, and notes "Brooke's story attracted national media attention—she was on TLC, Katie Couric, in People—and other families reached out to Walker about their kids," etc. Beccaynr (talk) 23:15, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - this brief article appears to be a WP:COATRACK for an apparent extraordinary claim that this child has a condition which according to the article, "may hold answers to the scientific study of aging." So in addition to the WP:BLP policy issues related to privacy for the child and her family who appear to have primarily received in-depth coverage in the Maclean's source, this article appears to functionally not be about the purported subject. As I noted above, a brief mention on a related article may make sense (the condition does not appear to be formally named, and Richard Walker, the scientist who has studied the condition in multiple people, does not appear to have an article), but the sources are identified in this discussion and there does not appear to be substantial content available to merge.

This event hasn't happened yet; the article is a scaffold of outdated references, unreferenced stats, and blank sections.

  • Merge per above - Outside of the primary sources (the games themselves and official KH publications), the sources are all general reviews of Birth By Sleep or the KH franchise as a whole, with the small bits content mentioning Ventus in specific being cherry picked out to comprise the "Reception" section. Many of these sources only very briefly talk about him, or only talk about all three of the characters in BBS as a set without any commentary on Ventus specifically. Searching for sources outside of the article turns up plenty of articles mentioning him while discussing the plots of the game or in gameplay guides, but not much in the way of actual analysis or reception of Ventus. Rorshacma (talk) 15:07, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Characters of Kingdom Hearts.

The result was delete‎. Ultimately, the argument to delete is significantly more convincing, owing to the complete lack of sources that establish this individual's notability. While we do need to keep in mind that available sources might be harder to find for someone that played 80 years ago, it's difficult to find a justification to keep the article at AfD when not even a single source with significant coverage can be provided. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 05:22, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is someone's resume, sourced to personal websites, company PR, and sources that don't mention his name. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:08, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's true in total:
For example:
"Volk has worked extensively with Activison, he designed the (M.A.D.E) game engine and was technical producer of the 1992 game Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2, Return to Zork, The Manhole, Rodney's Funscreen and other adventure games"
Two of those games in the above passage is liked to articles that specify Volk's role:
Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2: Gas Pump Girls Meet the Pulsating Inconvenience from Planet X! - Programmer
Return to Zork - Producer
(in the case of Manhole it lists Activision as the original publisher).
Additionally later on:
From there he moved to Avalon Hill Game Co. where he started the quality assurance division for the Microcomputer Game Division at Avalon Hill. from 1979-1982 where he created the games "Conflict 2500", "Voyager 1" and "Controller"
Conflict links to him (designer), Voyager has him listed as designer/programmer but does not link back, and Controller links back to his page.
Then:
In October 2019 William Volk produced and published The Climate Trail, a post-climate apocalypse game based on the classic game
Links to the Climate Trail website that has Volk as the Designer/Developer on the TEAM page: https://www.theclimatetrail.com/climate-trail-team

  • Delete - Searching for this band is tough due to their bland name, but a search in conjunction with singer Kenton Hall reveals that he has had some success after Ist broke up, and that band is typically mentioned briefly as one of his early endeavors. They have a couple of brief album reviews at AllMusic but no band biography, and their only claim to semi-fame is being very briefly mentioned by a famous person at his blog (footnote #13). While together, it looks like they only got some brief gig announcements, and today their works are only visible at the usual retail and upload sites. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:22, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    comment: @Vinegarymass911 helpfully pointed to Wikipedia:Notability (periodicals), in the context of a deletion discussion for Bangladesh's largest daily newspaper here, also brought by @M.parvage. As an English-language newspaper with a focus on business and economics, Financial Express articles are widely cited by English-language academics both in Bangladesh and abroad. That would satisfy condition #4 ("regular and significant usage as a citation in academic or scholarly works").
    I suggest the below source assessment table should be approached with skepticism (for example the suggestion that the Daily Star, which directly competes with the Financial Express, is not independent). But that's just my view. Oblivy (talk) 02:05, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There seems to be a basic disagreement on the accuracy of the source table. Much of the Keep arguments rest on the fact that this is the second largest English language daily in Bangladesh, if that's the case, then it should be easy to find supporting sources.

  • Comment Expanded the article in my limited time. Finding sources is more difficult due to the various newspapers of the same/similar name worldwide.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 13:02, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – I have absolutely no idea why WP:NPERIODICAL and WP:NMEDIA are being so widely cited here, let alone why their contents are being wikilawyered over. Unlike e.g. WP:GNG and WP:BASIC which document English Wikipedia notability guidelines, WP:NPERIODICAL and WP:NMEDIA are just WP:ESSAYs. Perhaps pending a future WP:RFC on either of these becoming an official guideline(?), it stands that an entire deletion discussion shouldn't hinge on them. Right now I'm seeing an absence of substantial coverage from reliable, independent sources needed to construct a substantial, reliable article. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 18:16, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:NPERIODICAL and WP:NMEDIA are only essays. They are, however, prominent and longstanding ones. Their existence is an acknowledgement that in this subject area the GNG doesn't necessarily capture what is notable. Different inclusion metrics are needed, even if the community has never been able to agree on exactly what they should be other than on a case by case basis. Common sense tells us that the largest business newspaper in a country of 170 million people is likely to be noteworthy. Wikipedia will be better for our readers and our editors if we give them at least basic information about a source widely cited by academics. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:21, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The article is fully sourced, and there are sources establishing its notability. There is good reason to question the source analysis table above:
  • Source 3 is a 300-word editorial from the company's main competitor entirely about the article subject, yet it is said to be neither independent nor significant coverage of the company
  • Articles 4 and 5 are by scholars who selected the paper as a subject for scholarly analysis yet they are said to lack significant coverage.
I've just added another paper[58] which is even more in-depth.
With respect, saying that people advocating for consideration of WP:NPERIODICAL is Wikilawyering seems to get things backwards. WP:NCORP says in the hatnote that the policy should be applied using common sense and that occasional exceptions may apply. The many scholarly articles citing FE coverage as support for economic events having occurred shows its notability in a real-world sense even if the policy wouldn't strictly deem those sufficiently WP:SIRS. In any event, as the foregoing paragraph shows, there is WP:SIRS coverage and in conjunction with the many independent sources that cite the paper's output there seems to be little reason to consider it non-notable.
  • Comment There's quite a bit of nonsense in the nominator's assessment of the sources. For example, competitor The Daily Star (sources 1, 3, 6) is independent. The Financial Express (sources 2 and 8), although not independent, is a reliable source for what it is cited for: the paper's language, publication frequency, place of publication, date publication commenced, and owner. Also note that Oblivy and Vinegarymass911 subsequently improved the article, more than doubling the number of sources cited. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:12, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I disagree with the nominator's assessment of the two academic journal articles cited (sources 4 and 5). They contain background information about the newspaper as well as analysis and comparison with other major Bangladeshi newspapers in terms of, respectively, use of news agency content and news type in several dimensions. That is significant coverage, and those sources count towards fulfilling WP:GNG. A third academic journal article contains additional independent, reliable, and in-depth coverage, making it even clearer that the topic meets GNG.[59] --Worldbruce (talk) 17:28, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contested redirect. I redirected this to 1885–86 Millwall Rovers F.C. season, as this ground was only used for that season, and most of the article is about the season and not about the utterly unremarkable ground, "a piece of wasteland, which was roughly marked out as a football pitch", anyway. Whatever needs to be said about the ground can easily be included in the season article. Fram (talk) 15:32, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Article is sourced, it's straight forward and to the point of what it is. I don't see a reason to delete it. If anything, I can see some room for improvement. There maybe other sources out there. Govvy (talk) 16:13, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I just created the article and was in the process of expanding it and nine minutes later it was deleted. There are numerous other defunct football grounds (List of defunct English football stadiums) that were 'wasteland', parks or barely played on which have minimal articles, such as Athletic Grounds (Blackpool) and Abbs Field. West Ham's temporary ground Browning Road has its own article and was played on for just two months and hasn't been merged into 1896–97 Thames Ironworks F.C. season, so why single out Glengall Road? Most grounds before 1900 were wasteland or 'unremarkable', so I'm not sure why a clubs' humble beginnings is a deletion policy. It is of historical significance as it's Millwall's first ground and establishes their foundation. If you give me more time to research the ground I can expand the article. TheLostBoy (talk) 16:17, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are fine - there's no such deletion policy. Assuming it can be documented, then this would be notable, and looks too extensive to merge. The policy failure here is by User:Fram who should know better than redirecting and AFDing an article that is in progress minutes after creation (especially after they've been notified it is in progress); the AFD violates C.2 of WP:BEFORE which says "If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article". Some book and/or article references would help the WP:GNG case; I added one from a 1909 London paper. Nfitz (talk) 00:16, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment ​Since the article was nominated I’ve added​ ​info on the pitch, its dimensions and condition​. W​​here players would chang​e, w​here fans would stand​, and h​ow many fans attended games​. I ​c​orrected when the ground opened and who it was​ ​against​, and I ​added when it closed and who ​the last game was ​played ​against. I marked the coordinates of where it would stand today and what stands there now​. I added a map from the era showing the road name changes from the current map​ and ​the distance from their second ground​. I added a newspaper quote on the ground from the era​.​

If you remove the little information I added about the formation of the club and the team, there is no context why they’re playing in the middle of an industrial estate or why they needed to move. Featured article North Road, Manchester, Man United's first ground, includes similar info.

This is 1885 with minimal sources and info that wasn’t recorded, or has since been lost. The only info on this ground online is the repeated “Millwall were founded on a piece of wasteland on Glengall Road in 1885”. This article provides more significant historical info about it than anywhere else. It has authoritative sources from historians, reputable newspapers and government sources. No original research, as per WP:GNG. The article is notable as to why Millwall is called Millwall. This was the only ground they played at in the district of Millwall. This would all be lost in a redirect. TheLostBoy (talk) 11:12, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This is a tough one. Although this is an excellent article that clearly adds something to the encyclopedia, we still need to ensure the article meets GNG. I think it probably does, but I can't quite find the evidence yet. And I want to ensure this well-written article has a great policy-based reason for keep.

The two book sources look very good, but I would like to know how different they are. They have very similar titles and one of the same authors. TheLostBoy can you confirm they are totally separate books?

Let's take a look at the online sources (sorry I'm not knowledgeable enough to do a proper table) to see if they help the article meet GNG. 6 talks about the location without mentioning the club, 7 I'm unable to find the specific article in the newspage TheLostBoy can you help me out?, 8 may not be RS?, 11 doesn't mention the ground by name and is the club's own site so probably doesn't contribute to notability, 15 is one sentence about the ground and 16 is only a couple of sentences about the club's time at the ground. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 12:56, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

​Thanks for the kind words! Millwall: A Complete Record 1885-1991 by Lindsay (1991) was written by a club historian. Millwall: The Complete record by Tarrant (2010) is a completely separate book but used Lindsay’s as a basis to update, correct and go much more in depth into all aspects of the club and is referred to as the 'official record'.
I used 6 to reference the road name change from Glengall Road to Tiller Road/Glengall Grove. I didn’t add 7 . I did sign up to research on there but have used up my free article views. Nfitz added it, maybe they could help? I can remove 11 if you don't think reliable. He is a Millwall historian and had helped with numerous corrections on wikipedia before. Moved 8 to correct reference point, stating when and who the club was founded by. As you can tell by 15 and 16, references to the club at Glengall Road is scarce. Do a google search and there really is the same regurgitated sentence or two, usually from what I added myself on Millwall F.C.. This part of the clubs history at the ground is lost online. The meat and bones is in the books. I'm trying to get ahold of Millwall Football Club 1885-1939, and a couple of others to gather more info on this elusive ground and Millwall's other three on the Isle of Dogs. But it will take time to do this.
I got Millwall and Millwall F.C.–West Ham United F.C. rivalry both good article status, so I hope you know this page is in good hands. Thanks for taking the time. Much appreciated! TheLostBoy (talk) 16:03, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think any of the sources need removing, if they were the only thing there, they might not be enough to prove GNG. But I think it's looking good overall. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 17:33, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pinus washoensis

Pinus washoensis (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

This "species" has been almost universally identified as a subspecies of P. Ponderosa, with recent Nuclear and Plastid DNA studies and analysis from Willyard confirming this. The article has many errors in how it is written. It should be noted that most of the references used in the article label the species as Pinus Ponderosa Var. Washoensis, rather than just Pinus Washoensis. I would support renaming the article to Pinus Ponderosa Var. Washoensis, however, is not accurate to label the article as Pinus Washoensis when multiple reputable sources like Willyard and the USDA/USFS label it otherwise. I would also be open to merging the article and adding more information to the Pinus Ponderosa page under the specific section for Var. Washoensis. 🌀CycloneFootball71🏈 |sandbox 03:59, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The Washoe Pine seems notable and even if it was decided not to give it its own article, a redirect is needed. The question then becomes whether to treat it as a species (OD, FNA), subspecies (Gymnosperm database), variety (conifer database via CoL, Willyard et al, 2021) or synonym (WFO following WCSP, POWO following Farjon 2001). In A Handbook of the World's Conifers (2010), Farjon referred to the "the spurious taxon P. washoensis" (p739). While the newer molecular studies now favour variety, we should probably treat it as a population or stand of Pinus ponderosa var. ponderosa following POWO, WFO and Farjon rather than the primary sources. But that is a discussion for the talk page. —  Jts1882 | talk  11:26, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The page is scientific speculation about future methods which have not been demonstrated so may never work. While it has been cited in some science blogs and similar, is it not validated science. Hence it does not belong on WP IMHO. (If it ever is achieved, then a section can be written including the nobel nomination (?).) Ldm1954 (talk) 22:08, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aspects of APM have already been achieved with hundreds to thousands of refereed publications. However, the larger vision of using APM for bulk fabrication is yet to be achieved. Within the field, there is active debate about the meaning of APM, and as convergence happens, this language will be inserted.
I have made some changes in the intro to try to make the page less subjective. It's just a start, though. Maybe a section should be added about how the field debates the concepts. 50.204.119.4 (talk) 22:31, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, as a scientist who has worked in Materials Science/nanoscience for decades, I will contest the statement "hundreds to thousands of refereed publications". The lack of refereed citations in the article attests to this. Indeed, your revision of the introduction where you include many "could" reinforces that this is speculation. Please see WP:Crystal.
N.B., please do not claim STM, quantum computing or hypothetical room-temperature superconductors to be part of this. The first two are massive in their own right; the last is comparable to cold fusion. Ldm1954 (talk) 02:05, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ldm1954, I'm not sure if I'm reading your nomination correctly, but is the concern that the technology/method does not yet exist and/or are not likely to exist soon? Because we do have articles on room temperature superconductors and cold fusion (which are probably much better covered than this topic) and even death rays and anti-gravity. Care should of course be taken to adhere to scientific consensus and, for example, not state anything as fact if it is speculative, that is not in itself a reason to not have an article. Alpha3031 (tc) 11:00, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All those you mention are well-balanced with extensive details, viable cites/sources etc. I have no problem with them.
After removing two duplicates, this article has 9 cites:
  • Ref 1 is a proposal abstract
  • 3 & 8 are manufacturer sales material
  • 6 is a white paper
  • 2, 5, 7, 9 are not peer reviewed and are blogs or comments
  • 4 is a reviewed crystal ball paper. Relevant, but not a demonstration source.
  • 8 is the only relevant peer reviewed source.

If you can find them, and are willing to invest the time then it could be possible. I am not enthused.

Well, we're all volunteers here, so nobody has to do any work they don't want to. If you're alright with removing everything overly speculative, then we might just leave it at that. Maybe some people at one of the noticeboards will be willing to put things on their watchlists and challenge questionable additions (though, of course, most of us here are not experts, so will most likely more often go by tone instead of actual content). At least nominally, it is then up to the people adding stuff in to meet WP:BURDEN. Alpha3031 (tc) 14:34, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Kinda forgot this discussion was still running. I don't find the deletion rationales particularly compelling given that they don't mesh too well with how our content is generally organised from what I can tell, but I don't particularly care whether this turns out to be keep or redirect without a merge. To clarify, Nanosci, are you arguing this under WP:DELREASON 6, 7 or 8? CRYSTAL in reference to 8 is in relation to speculation not covered in reliable sources, i.e. Predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field may be included, though editors should be aware of creating undue bias to any specific point-of-view. Again, issues with the current content of the article should probably be taken to WP:FRINGEN (or just boldly removed). Alpha3031 (tc) 14:56, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • My WP:CRYSTAL is based on the "Proposed Method" section of the webpage. That is pure current undergoing research exploration and can be seen as pure speculation. Although, I was aware of past misleading references with those removed, they are no longer the issue. However, this page can be still categorized as a perfect example of prediction of future technology. Based on WP:TOOSOON (and as you quoted WP:Fringen, I would support to WP:BeBold and delete the page.

No indication of notability - fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Not one of the sources satisfies the independent, reliable and significant coverage requirement. Source analysis: 1, 5, 8, 10 are articles written by Freedman himself; 2 talks about how his phone started buzzing and him doing some interviews; 3, 4 are interviews of him with no editorial content; 6 is about his tweets, plus Sportskeeda is unreliable for notability purposes; 7 covers someone else's reply to his tweet; 9 is an opinion piece on an unreliable site which essentially says that his tweets are funny. A WP:BEFORE search turned up more such trivial coverage. Maduant (talk) 20:01, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The last two sources are useless from a notability standpoint as they are written by Freedman himself. And, with the exception of this tweet listicle, none of the remaining sources listed above have a byline/author - all are marked "Web Desk", "News Desk", etc, indicative of regurgitated tabloid press releases. A lot of people have their tweets mentioned in the news frequently, that in itself does not confer notability. WP:LOTSOFSOURCES is a classic argument to avoid at AfDs. I'm yet to see a single independently bylined article that demonstrates why Freedman is notable. WP:STUB and WP:NOTDONE would come into the picture if the topic's notability is established, which clearly isn't the case here. Maduant (talk) 18:59, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a person whose principal notability claim is being a wife.
As always, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, so people don't get articles just because of who they were married to -- but there isn't really any other strong notability claim being made here at all, and the only other attempt at one (board member of a charity) is referenced to a primary source rather than any evidence of media coverage about her work in that role to establish any notability for it.

The result was no consensus‎. This article was deleted at AfD 8 years ago, but as we all know, consensus can change, and 8 years is a more than reasonable amount of time for consensus to change. This unsourced article was nominated for deletion a few hours after it was created, and dozens of sources were added over the next 48 hours, so arguably WP:HEY would encourage us to grant the author a bit more leniency for now. With that said, sources that qualify to establish the notability of this rivalry were thin, and consensus was split on whether this rivalry has become notable in the time since the last article was deleted. My suggestion would be to allow interested editors to continue building this article and finding sources to establish its notability. If, after a reasonable amount of time (at least a couple months), there are still questions as to the notability of this rivalry, then it can be re-nominated for deletion and the full breadth of available sources can be analyzed. —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 22:32, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This page was nominated before in 2015 and deleted, discussion here. No sources cited in the new page. Per WP:GNG this is still not notable as a "football rivalry". All sources I can find are opinion pieces on how it should be considered one, of which I've found two. Glman99 (talk) 01:19, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete ... I think even if it were slightly notable that a rivalry would need to be significantly notable to constitute it's own stand-alone article. To create it as it's own article and not even put in an attempt to provide sources? Get out of here haha.
Fireandflames2 (talk) 01:49, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just started this article tonight, and have not had time to add sources and a notable games section, but there are sources that cite this as a rivalry even dating back all the way to 2011. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/912769-south-carolina-vs-tennessee-10-little-known-facts-about-southern-rivalry. I would like a little more time to add sources

Ok, I added two notable games (I plan on filling in several more in that section) and added in citations (with more to come). I hope this is enough for now. I do think this merits a rivalry now, especially with the series being tied 9-9 since 2005, and the fact that for South Carolina, Knoxville is the second-closet SEC school by geography.

It also should be noted that Tennessee and South Carolina could be paired up as permanent rivals if the SEC moves to a 9 game schedule https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/2022/06/03/sec-football-schedule-nine-conference-games-permanent-rivals-expansion/9986455002/ Also, if South Carolina and Missouri can have a wikipedia page, then this series definitely can too. South Carolina and Tennessee are close geographically and have played for 30 years consecutively. SC and Missouri have played 13 times. The situation has changed from 2015 given the games over the last few years. Also see Greenville Online newspaper "Still, it's odd the Gamecocks' 2024 schedule won't feature Georgia, Tennessee or Florida, a trio that ranks as arguably their biggest SEC rivals." As well as the state newspaper " In an annual SEC rivalry dating back to 1992, that is Tennessee’s largest point spread against South Carolina since Oct. 30, 1999, when the Gamecocks visited Neyland Stadium." https://www.thestate.com/sports/college/university-of-south-carolina/usc-football/article268820602.html#storylink=cpy— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tnsc20 (talkcontribs)

None of these sources point to a notable rivalry. The one in KnoxNews calls it a "divisional rivalry" which would also apply to other teams. The other two are from blogs or not notable sources doing routine coverage. As 2015, I remain unconvinced this is a notable rivalry worthy of a separate page on Wikipedia. Two teams playing often does not warrant a page. You mention Mayor's Cup (Missouri–South Carolina), the difference is that they play for a trophy. UT-SC do not. Glman99 (talk) 13:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I really am not trying to be argumentative or difficult, but I do not understand why this needs to be deleted. Just because it does not have a trophy does not mean it is not an important rivalry, as a trophy does not create animosity. Also, most SEC rivalries do not have trophies (none of Tennessee's other rivalries have one). This series has decided the east several times, and has a history of close competitive games. Also, the State Newspaper and Greenville Online are not blogs, they are reputable newspapers with widespread influence in South Carolina. They both quoted this as being a rivalry. I just dont understand what is harmful about having this page especially once I am able to finish out the notable games section. Its not like every rivalry that has its own page is Ohio State-Michigan, See Auburn-Ole Miss, Auburn-Tulane, Ole Miss-Tulane, LSU-Mississippi St, Georgia-Vanderbilt, Mississippi St-Alabama, Michigan-Northwestern. For instance, if Penn St and Maryland (Penn St leads 42-3-1) and Penn St Michigan can have pages, than certainly Tennessee and South Carolina can have one. I appreciate the concern and passion we have for college football rivalries, but do not understand what is harmful about a page for this series. There is a history here, and I have put time into making the page, and will continue to develop it. I really don't understand the need to delete it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tnsc20 (talkcontribs)

I understand you've put work into this, and I appreciate your contributions. However, just because WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't mean this page meets the notability guidelines for pages on Wikipedia. Some of those other "rivalries" you mentioned should probably be considered for deletion as well, some of them even have tags nothing they may not meet WP:GNG. I have yet to see convincing sources that this passes the notability check as a notable football rivalry. Glman99 (talk) 18:13, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will also make it clear that the continued WP:WALLSOFTEXT added by User:Tnsc20 will not impact my opinion on this topic. The sources brought up by this user are simply WP:ROUTINE game reports and summaries, but does not go on to describe how these teams would be rivals. The significant coverage required to describe this series as a "rivalry" simply is not there. Frank Anchor 19:07, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What do I need to do to provide "convincing evidence?" Those are two reputable sources that quote this as a rivalry. I just don't understand how this page is harming anyone. I have enjoyed learning about this series and it is clear there is a geographic and historical dislike between these teams. I have not even had time to finish it out and show the history of this rivalry through the Notable Games section. I don't get the benefit to deleting this article— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tnsc20 (talkcontribs) date (UTC)

Per WP:HARMLESS, this isn't an argument to keep a page. Pages on Wikipedia must meet notability, verifiability, policies and use reliable sources. I'd encourage you to read these policies, as you obviously have skill and could bring useful edits and pages! Glman99 (talk) 18:27, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would you care to explain how this is not Notable (there are significant articles covering these games and results), It is also verifiable and reliable. Knoxville News, Greenville Online, and State Newspaper are all good sources, and I have added citations into the article. I feel as though this article is being targeted just because it failed in 2015, and not based on the merits of what is currently in it. I get that you disagree, but there really isn't a reason I can see that this article does not meet the standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tnsc20 (talkcontribs)

Sure, I can explain my analysis! The Knox News source refers to SC as Tennessee's "East divisional rival". If all divisional opponents were considered notable rivalries, we'd have quite a few pages! The Tennesseean is also referring to divisional rivals, and not past rivalry between UT-SC, but potential future divisional games. That article also does not call this game a rivalry at all, while referring to Alabama and Vanderbilt as Tennessee's rivals. The State is also WP:ROUTINE coverage of the upcoming game between "SEC rivals". These are all indicative of teams that play in the same division, not a notable football rivalry. Again, I recommend you review WP:VERIFIABILITY and WP:NOTABILITY. User:PK-WIKI is also right, you can copy this article into a WP:DRAFT and then submit it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation later on to get help on it. Glman99 (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I really feel this is just a difference of opinion, not an argument to delete the whole page. It is not just "another divisional rivalry." In face it is one of South Carolina's biggest SEC rivalries - see Greenville Newspaper - "Still, it's odd the Gamecocks' 2024 schedule won't feature Georgia, Tennessee or Florida, a trio that ranks as arguably their biggest SEC rivals." I also just have a different take on what The State article says, it calls the series "an annual SEC rivalry dating back to 1992." That does not imply divisions, but rather the history and longevity of these two teams playing. Sure its not Alabama-Tennessee, but South Carolina cost Tennessee a chance at the national championship last year, and these games have had historical impact on both programs. I have provided reliable sources that cite this as a rivalry, and really don't understand how deleting this article helps. It does nothing but invalidate my time and work, and make me less likely to contribute to wikipedia in the future.
Games in this series have played significant roles in the history of the program, as TN loses to SC led to Johnny majors being replaced with Fulmer. A Tennessee win over SC helped push Spurrier out the door. A 2016 Tennessee loss cost the Vols a chance at their first chance to win the East since 2007, etc. etc.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tnsc20 (talkcontribs)

  • Keep ... I know I have probably not done this in the preferred manner, and I apologize. While I am not new to wikipedia, this process is new to me, and I did not intent to format so badly. With that said this page should be kept. Relevant news sources like the Knoxville News Sentinel, the State Newspaper, and Greenville News have dubbed this a 30+ year series a rivalry. Not only that, but the series is significant historically, as games in 2013 and 2022 ultimately disqualified both schools from advancing to the national championship/CFP. Several other games have decided the winner of the SEC East. When this deletion article started, I had not had time to add citations and expand the page to where it is now.Tnsc20 (talk) 01:03, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Anchor 13:47, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for this source analysis! Glman99 (talk) 14:02, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would tend to disagree here. The first source mentioned from Knoxville News, which is not a fan blog, does describe why there is a rivalry and how it is important. Just look at the title, "why SC rivalry is so important for TN" and continues on throughout the article. The author mentions how the rise of South Carolina coincided with the fall of Tennessee in the 2000s. It mentions the ups and downs of the rivalry, and how the two programs are competing for similar recruits. Look at the quote "The SEC East isn’t big enough for both South Carolina and Tennessee to achieve great success at the same time." This article explains the rivalry and its impact on the two programs by going into how the streaks in the rivalry have played into the successes and failures at each program. Tnsc20 (talk) 14:53, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The context of the quote "The SEC East isn’t big enough for both South Carolina and Tennessee to achieve great success at the same time." also mentions that it is not big enough because of traditional powers Georgia and Florida being in the SEC East as well. It has NOTHING to do with UT and South Carolina being rivals. The title uses the term "rivalry" to manufacture hype and for no other reason. One team rising while another team falling does not imply a rivalry (if anything, it implies there not being a rivalry due to lack of simultaneous success). Frank Anchor 15:02, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The quote highlights the importance of the South Carolina-Tennessee series, and how one must win the game to compete in the east. This underscores the high intensity and importance this game has on the calendar each year. The nature of one team rising when the other falls in this instance does contribute to the rivalry. There is a clear reason for animosity because as South Carolina got good, they took recruits and success and games away from Tennessee (all mentioned in the article. Another source the Saturday Down South article also highlights how to connection of Steve Spurrier contributed to the growth of the rivalry during his time at SC. "Not only has South Carolina-Tennessee become a major SEC East rivalry, but the perception has changed over the past decade. The Gamecocks have been the dominant program in recent years while the Vols have come up short." This quote shows hot it is NOT just another SEC east series. In fact it is "a major SEC East rivalry." The article 10 Vols games vs. South Carolina that dramatically altered history, also describes the importance this game has carried throughout the years and how its result has lead to major changes in both programs. Its not often that you have a rivalry that twice in the last decade has eliminated one team from national championship consideration (2013 and 2022) late in the year.Tnsc20 (talk) 15:13, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You say they only make one passing mention; however, this argument should not be used to discredit the sources calling this series a rivalry. For the 4th and 6th sources, I would point to trivial coverage
as a reason not to discredit. Multiple sources mentioned clearly do call the Tennessee-SC series a rivalry. Also the News Sentinel does not jsut call it a divisional rivalry, as the title of the article does not say divisional. Again I would point towards trivial here as well. Tnsc20 (talk) 01:26, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For the 2nd and 3rd sources, I would point to the just a blog argument
With the second source, it is not fair to claim that it was written just to "manufacture hype," as that is completely unverifiable. The 3rd source describes the importance and history of the games between the two schools and should not be discredited just because you claim it is a blog.

    Have you reviewed the cited sources @Cbl62? There isn't any WP:SIGCOV. Glman99 (talk) 20:49, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I did. And I also went back and reviewed my "delete" vote when this same topic was AfD'd 7 year ago. A lot has changed since then. I respect FrankAnchor's views but the following comment is striking: "The title uses the term 'rivalry' to manufacture hype and for no other reason." I don't think it's our role at AfD to second-guess the coverage or to disqualify coverage because we believe that a reliable, independent publication had an invalid motive for the coverage. Cbl62 (talk) 21:16, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Part of the issue is that we could find any division matchups called rivalries by some source. A quick search finds articles on Tennessee and Missouri, LSU (and here), Arkansas, Ole Miss. Heck, even Ohio State-Maryland. Most of these are the same sites used for the article. All major sources are WP:ROUTINE coverage of games, not actually about the history or facts of the so-called rivalry. Glman99 (talk) 00:12, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think they key difference here is that South Carolina and Tennessee have played 30 consecutive years. Tennessee/Ole Miss and Tennessee/Arkansas used to play annually and had a rivalry. In the very first paragraph on Tennessee/Missouri it says they have not even played 12 times. Also TN/SC are much closer geographically than any of these other schools. Also, the News Sentinel Article (which calls it a "rivalry" in the title and describes the history/facts of the series) describes the high stakes matchups in the rivalry, something clearly lacking with these other series you mentioned. Another good one to look at is https://www.totheeforeverago.org/p/south-carolina-gamecocks-2024-football-schedule which lists Georgia Florida and Tennessee as south Carolinas main "local" rivals and "measuring sticks." The fear of future pages popping up involving Tennessee and other SEC opponents is not grounds to delete this one.Tnsc20 (talk) 01:16, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"website by a scholar"? I don't know of any sports rivalry that has coverage in a "website by a scholar". It's never been, nor should it be, the notability standard that only scholarly sources count.

Completely agree with Cbl62 above. News sources are credible coverage. The coverage from reputable sources like the Knoxville News Sentinel and the State newspaper are perfectly valid.

One or two articles mentioning the two teams as "rivals" or "SEC rivals" does not meet WP:NRIVALRY (Sports rivalries are not presumed notable). Per the general guidelines, "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant coverage per analysis only 2 sources are in reliable sources and they are all WP:ROUTINE. Many of the other sources are not WP:RS and then do not count towards WP:SIGCOV.

[64], [65] (govols 247 is a subset of Knoxville News Sentinel and USA Today Network), [66], and [67].

@Tnsc20 Regardless of the result of this AfD, I highly suggest you read Wikipedia's guidelines on WP:V, WP:N, and WP:ROUTINE. 1 is a reliable source, but it is WP:ROUTINE in my opinion. 2, 3, and 4 are all blogs or opinion pieces, they do not meet WP:RS. Glman99 (talk) 23:05, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Glman99, I would again point to WP:JUSTABLOG. Additionally, the govols article is part of Knoxville News sentinel and I would argue a reliable source there. I do not understand the problem with [68] as it does everything you ask. It describes the history and importance of the rivalry and is clearly a reputable sport. It calls them rivals in the title, the article is NOT called Why South Carolina is important DIVISIONAL rivals.Tnsc20 (talk) 02:40, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:JUSTABLOG does not support these sources. "And keep in mind that while sources such as blogs aren't usually suitable for the purposes of establishing notability, they may be perfectly suitable for verifying information within an article whose notability has already been established by other means". 1-2 sources doing generally WP:ROUTINE coverage does not meet WP:GNG.
