To be clear, I'm not opening this DRV just because I disagree with the outcome, but because the closer's rationale was wanting. I have raised this issue on their talk page, but they have not responded. By raw vote count, there are 3 deletes (including nom), 1 merge, and 5 keeps, but more importantly, none of the keep rationales made policy- or guideline-based arguments. I'd like at least a consensus here that the closer's judgment was correct. Ovinus (talk) 21:52, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse. In reading through the comments, while many keep voters did not specifically wiki link to policies they did use the language of notability policy at WP:SIGCOV in making their arguments. Therefore, I don't think one could accurately state that the keep voters were not making a policy based argument. Further, I don't think either side made a particularly strong argument in proving or disproving SIGCOV/ NLIST . The failure to do a proper source analysis made arguments on both sides, but more so on the delete end, weak. The list uses many types of sources, including academic journals and scholarly books in addition to newspapers with inline citations. Therefore, the general argument that the article lacks scholarly sources and fails WP:NOTNEWS by the nominator is not convincing. Without actually providing details about the sources, one can not prove original research and synthesis. On the flip side, the fact that so many sources are used in the article does hint at a passage of SIGCOV/NLIST. However, without a specific source analysis it too is not provable. While I personally think this should have been closed as no consensus, a keep closure is within the realm of reason given the weak deletion argument and the number of individuals voting keep.4meter4 (talk) 22:25, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse the arguments to keep were not appreciably less policy based than the ones to delete it. Rather than DRV, I might suggest the talk page to address concerns that can be solved by regular editing, e.g., documenting and implementing inclusion criteria.
