Alberni Pacific 2

Does not meet GNG, existing sources are unreliable (self-published / blogs) except for CHEK, which is not significant coverage. I was unable to find any significant coverage from a basic BEFORE search. Could be redirected or selectively merged to Alberni Pacific Railway.

Weak Delete Along with the CHEK article, one can find many photos of this train on various train enthusiast websites along with short mentions in a couple news articles and in books.

Keep - Team played in the top-level Slovenian league, which receives significant coverage in the national media. --Hockeyben ^{(talk -} ^contribs) 00:54, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And? Provide that "significant coverage" that covers HK Alfa then, and as you have been told at some other AfDs, playing in a league does NOT guarantee notability anymore since the notability system was overhauled in 2022, they simply need to pass WP:GNG regardless of which league they play in. If the league receives "significant coverage", it would only make the league notable, and not all of its clubs, especially not some random amateur clubs that only existed for 4 seasons. And there is no second division anyway, so "top-level" doesn't mean much, they didn't need to climb to this division, Slovenian ice hockey only has like 6 teams, of which only 2-3 are professional while other are "hobby clubs", including Alfa.

Keep. With an h-factor of 48 he just about passes NPROF#C1. Note that for NPROF we don't require extensive external coverage. If he had significant awards it would be a strong keep; at the moment he squeezes by. Ldm1954 (talk) 13:01, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

h-factor can be an indicator, but not proof of notability. We need to show "either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates. Reviews of the person's work, published in selective academic publications, can be considered together with ordinary citations here." I don't see that here unfortunately. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:32, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CNMall41, it is very rare to find reviews of the work of scientists except when they receive major awards, in Feitschrifts or obituaries; hence that criteria is rarely used in the AfD discussions I have seen. He has two > 1K cited papers in high quality journals (Nature Reviews, Brain). As I said, I would be happier if there were awards to back up the case but I will argue that he just makes #C1. Please also look at his citation history which has had a rapid growth in 2022-2023 which looks to be continuing in 2024. That does strengthen the case slightly. Ldm1954 (talk) 21:00, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply and I respect your points. I understand it may be rare but if they don't exists then they don't exist. The coverage in reliable sources is what we need. If the citations pick up in the future, maybe he will meet the threshhold but I think we are even lower than low hanging fruit to say he meet #C1 based on two papers with 1K+ cites. Maybe a redirect to Meatable would be appropriate until such time as he meets the threshold. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I completely disagree with you. Let me be more definitive; coverage such as reviews of their work is not a viable criteria in almost all of science. There are many scientists without them who already have WP pages. If people cite the work, and it is in a high impact journal that is a strong indicator. Note that this is not HEP where citations are massive.

If you believe 1K is not a significant number of citations I really think you should post a question at WT:NPROF to get more opinions. Ldm1954 (talk) 21:28, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Checking, I just looked under one of his GS areas remyelination. The highest cited person has 3 articles with > 1K cites, the 2nd has 1, 3rd 0, 4th 2 and he is fifth. I see no indications this is a very high cites field (e.g. HEP), it is comparable to physics, albeit much higher than math and most arts. Ldm1954 (talk) 21:46, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the disagreement which is why we are discussing. I never said it was not a significant number of citations. I said that #C1 would not be satisfied with two papers of 1K+ citations. If it was, we would have a ton of pages for people who would otherwise not be notable. I agree that a significant number of citations is an indicator of notability, which is why I said "h-factor can be an indicator;" but, it is just that...an indicator. There would need to be an agreement that the amount of cites he has is significant enough to pass the #C1 criteria and I don't think we do. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:56, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If we agree that the subject passes WP:PROF (and I'm not claiming that we do) then GNG arguments are moot. And unless I'm mistaken, outside a few hot-button topics, research papers with >1000 citations are still very rare. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we are close. I don't believe this would meet GNG so the only thing I think we differ on at the moment is if his citations would meet the threshold of #C1. I wouldn't be opposed to requesting other editors with experience in that space to chime in. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:26, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, that was what I hoped for when I first commented. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:50, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do see an open discussion from September but it doesn't look like there is headway one direction or the other. Personally, I hate WP:PROF standards as everything is subjective in cases like this.

Interpretation of whether GNG is met is also surprisingly subjective. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:24, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It can be, but we have guidance based on discussion and consensus what governs things such significant coverage, reliable sources, and independent coverage. That makes GNG fairly easy at times and subjective in fewer cases than not. Whereas, we don't have guidance (at least none I can find) that helps with PROF, hence the reason for the discussion I guess. Even the September discussion doesn't see to have clarity unfortunately. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:57, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In my experience, clear consensus usually arises from PROF-based discussions in AfD, while I have seen endless debates over precisely what constitutes adequate coverage under GNG. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:11, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I respect your contention. We will have to disagree on that as well. Different lens I guess. --CNMall41 (talk) 01:58, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PROF#C1 is tricky as you will see from the often (very) extended discussions at WT:NPROF. There are a range of methods for h-factors/citations, but they all boil down to a check of:

Journal reliability, impact factor, notability, e.g. "Nature" versus pay "Pay to play" (predator).
Some disciple scaler. For instance as a crude metric for 3 topics I would equate h-factors as mathematics:15 ~ condensed matter physics:30 ~ High-energy physics:75
The base number. My minimum requirement (45-50) for physics/materials science is quite high, I have see others claim that 30 is notable.
A comparison to others in the field. This matters.
Place in article, e.g. first (did the work), last (managed everything), other (never obvious) and the number of co-authors.
High single paper cites, which indicates that the community considers the work important.
Experience. I changed my scaling for what is notable in mathematics following several AfD discussions and WT:NPROF.

N.B., I steer clear of academics in the arts as I don't know how to judge them unless it is a no-brainer (e.g. FRS, MacArthur). Ldm1954 (talk) 02:00, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:PROF#C1. I know this is easily gamed by careful choice of keywords, but rather than looking at his Google Scholar citation profile directly I thought to look at his ranking in the keywords he lists as his research interests. In three of the four, including Remyelination, there are multiple other authors with comparable citation counts and yet he is in the top five. I think that should be enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:10, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reactions to the 2019 Conservative Party leadership election

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

There should be a high bar when it comes to spinning off a full article about election reactions. Category:International reactions to elections is mainly populated by countries taking positions on disputed elections such as those in Zimbabwe, Venezuela and Iran, plus sui generis events such as the Brexit and Catalan independence referendums. I can't see how that's the case here. Johnson became the new Conservative leader. Other party leaders opposed that. He became the new prime minister. British allies supported that. This event is so mundane it could be covered in summary style in 2019_Conservative_Party_leadership_election#Domestic_and_international_reaction, which it already is.

Legal affairs of the Tate brothers

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

A BLP minefield and unnecessary fork of Andrew Tate. VQuakr (talk) 21:10, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, I'm not seeing the BLP issues... OP is going to have to be more specific. Its necessary because of the size of Andrew Tate and the extensive in-depth coverage of the joint legal affairs of the Tate brothers. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 21:15, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At 6,000 words readable prose, length at the Tate article is not a concern per WP:SIZERULE. The level of relative weight to give this aspect of the subject is much easier to gauge in the biographical article, which also is better-watched. VQuakr (talk) 21:37, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm estimating a mature page size based on current coverage of 3,000 words of readable prose for Legal affairs of the Tate brothers, all together that would put Andrew Tate well over. The coverage is of the Tate brothers, not Andrew Tate alone. I don't know how saying that a legacy article is better watched than a just created article is relevant in a deletion discussion. You also seem to have abandoned your BLP claims. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 21:43, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Up to 8,000 words the article would also be fine per size rule, above that it may need to be split and would benefit from discussion and consensus rather than bold splits of contentious topics, so there's still plenty of room. CNC (talk) 22:05, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Combined its going to be over 8,000. That also doesn't take away from the fact that its a separate topic even if size isn't an issue. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:11, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I needn't repeat myself in every reply for a reasoning to remain valid so hush with the "abandoned" nonsense. Is there consensus for that expansion of this aspect of the subject anywhere on Wikipedia? Normal process was circumvented in this case. Typically we would expand the root article, get consensus that those expansions were warranted, then discuss if a split was warranted if size concerned were approached. The outcome of that discussion could be condensation of coverage, for example, or a split. VQuakr (talk) 22:37, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reasoning given vis-a-vis BLP at all. This topic seems due for a stand alone article based on the large quantity of coverage it has gotten which does not entirely overlap with Andrew Tate. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:40, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, WP:CFORK. Andrew Tate article was previously 6,000 words,[3] so no justification for trimming or splitting, such as splitting off criminal investigations and then trimming the main article as has been done here to create this article.[4] I also think WP:TOOSOON applies here, don't really see BLP:CRIME being an issue as the content was from Andrew's page. CNC (talk) 21:48, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I split off both criminal and civil issues. I have also added content which was never on Andrew's page so there may be unique BLP issues I just see them (kind of obviously if I made the content). Horse Eye's Back (talk) 21:51, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Culturenet Cymru

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

Culturenet Cymru was established as a company within the National Library of Wales for the purpose of creating a body that Welsh Government could fund outside of the NLW sponsorship arrangement, with a remit to develop online resources. The company was based in NLW, all the directors and officers were NLW staff, and the employees were subject to NLW regulations. The arrangement was wound up in 2016 and all of the projects were transferred directly into NLW. It was never independently notable, generating a couple of news articles (that I cannot now find) only when one employee, whose contract was terminated, alleged he had fixed an online poll they ran. That coverage did not explore the nature of the company, and my recollection is that the news media were directed to NLW itself. As such this is not notable and does not meet WP:NCORP. I was going to redirect to the NLW page but it is not mentioned there, and I do not feel a mention of the company is due there. Thus a redirect is not possible (no mention on the target page).

In my opinion, the difference is that the Venezuelan presidential election was highly controversial, with multiple countries explicitly criticizing it.

Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:10, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I see above that International reactions to the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election is brought up as a "what about that?" above, but that was a disputed election in which different foreign governments decided whether or not to accept the result. That is obviously different to this. However, why hasn't anyone brought up the more glaringly obvious parallel - International reactions to the 2016 United States presidential election? There is no difference between these two articles - the same guy won (you can argue which one was more of a shock) - and there was no full-on war between Ukraine and Russia in 2016 for the office of president to affect, nor were Israel and Palestine at full-on war. Surely both must be nominated as the same argument applies. Unknown Temptation (talk) 21:19, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to nominate the 2016 article if you want to. I found the current article while patrolling new pages, which is why I nominated this one specifically for deletion so the community could discuss its suitability. As far as I know, unlike for the 2020 article, there hasn't been any discussion yet about the 2016 one. Still, I believe it should be nominated separately rather than in a bundled nomination, as the 2016 article is much longer-standing and has more depth to its content.

Speedy keep (as article creator), meets WP:GNG, WP:LASTING, and WP:SUSTAINED. WP:FRINGE doesn't apply, as the idea of a civil war has been covered by CNN, ABC, and a myriad of mainstream sources. This is a topic that has been talked about for several years, and deleting it for WP:CRYSTAL or WP:FRINGE reasons (the keyword is hypothetical) isn't warranted. This excerpt from WP:FRINGE sums it up: "We use the term fringe theory in a very broad sense to describe an idea that departs significantly from the prevailing views or mainstream views in its particular field. For example, fringe theories in science depart significantly from mainstream science and have little or no scientific support.", which is the opposite of what's happening here. Also see here, here and here, all of which prove that WP:CRYSTAL probably doesn't apply here. This'll be a pile-on, but this excerpt from WP:CRYSTAL states: "All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred." warrants this an exception, as all info is verifiable, and would 100% warrant an article if a true civil war starts, and has received national attention. If WP:SYNTH is the issue, then WP:SOFIXIT. I'll add more to the article soon, I will admit it's pretty short as of now. I'd love to see a rebuttal, and if none can be made then my point is proven.

It's an "anticipated event" that's been anticipated for 24 years now and hasn't happened... That's pretty much a work of fiction at this point.

Delete - this is an article about political polarization in the United States, which has an existing article. The idea that current polarisation could turn into a "civil war" is entirely speculative. It's also not a new frame - Ron Brownstein wrote The Second Civil War back in 2008. It's a repeated frame that's been applied to what could either be considered different episodes of this, or different points in a continuum. Whatever you want to consider it, this is SYNTH. It's also got CRYSTAL problems, because this event hasn't happened. And as little as I like Trump's win in the election, conventional wisdom would say it's less likely now that it was last week. Guettarda (talk) 02:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, which says Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Trying to get around this requirement by citing a handful of inflammatory opinion pieces which say that a civil war is "already here" is plainly insufficient; it also contradicts the article itself, which says that the conflict is "hypothetical". The article is a mess of SYNTH and what little can be salvaged should be merged to political polarization in the United States, political violence and other pages. Astaire (talk) 02:22, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It was a future event being discussed since the "early 2000s" per the into. If it hasn't happened by now, it's not an "anticipated event", it's a work of speculative fiction. Oaktree b (talk) 03:53, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per your arguments on the last AFD, [ [8] this is the only good source in the article. To establish GNG, we need atleast three such sources. The rest of the sources including the local ones are mostly paid.

Thilsebatti (talk) 04:19, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Thilsebatti@Mims Mentor Is there some way we're supposed to find out whether a source is paid? Some here seem to be implying that the TOI articles are good but others say they're also paid.
(Also, there's no set number to determine GNG, and my personal number is 2.) Aaron Liu (talk) 12:19, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The content in the article appears promotional as it primarily highlights achievements, accolades, and public recognition, seemingly aimed at enhancing the subject's image. Many of the sources cited resemble paid news articles, as indicated by WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Aside from a controversial elimination from a reality show, the article lacks any notable achievements, with the subject's popularity largely limited to a local fan base in Kerala.--Mims Mentor (talk) 17:35, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Very interesting. RSP says "Editors should ensure that they do not use paid advertorials" for TOI, so is there a way supposed to check for whether a specific article is paid? Aaron Liu (talk) 18:11, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Aaron Liu, Oaktree b. Most news articles from TOI and other reputable sources about the subject tend to have an "overly positive tone," catering primarily to fan-base entertainment. These references frequently emphasize the subject's role as a controversial contestant on a TV reality show, with little mention of any substantial achievements beyond that. This makes the content weak and unlikely to meet the WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG standards.

Keep either this or Reel Tight, merging text and redirecting to one or the other. It made three charts; the dead links don't matter as they can be resolved, and in the case of Vibe, the citation is to the mag; and the nominator gave no indication that a BEFORE was performed, let alone if the BEFORE used databases and non-Google methods to look for sources about a group from the late '90s...

  This article has a lot of negative coverage about Liangyou's business failures and also covers the company's history. The article notes: "据《第一财经日报》记者多方了解，这家2011年总资产已达154亿元、全年销售收入165亿元的老牌国企，这几年却不尽如人意。食用油是良友的主营业务之一，良友集团原领导曾有“海狮兴，则良友兴”的论断，一位资深业内人士如此告诉本报记者。现实非常残酷，上海作为良友的总部，占尽“主场”便利，良友不仅输给了跨国粮油品牌金龙鱼，在央企品牌福临门和台湾品牌多力冲击下，良友也应对乏力，市场份额下滑。"
  From Google Translate: "According to the reporter of China Business News, this old state-owned enterprise, which had total assets of 15.4 billion yuan in 2011 and annual sales revenue of 16.5 billion yuan, has not been satisfactory in recent years. Edible oil is one of Liangyou's main businesses. The former leader of Liangyou Group once said that "if Sea Lion prospers, Liangyou will prosper", a senior industry insider told our reporter. The reality is very cruel. As the headquarters of Liangyou, Shanghai has the convenience of "home court". Liangyou not only lost to the multinational grain and oil brand Golden Dragon Fish, but also failed to cope with the impact of the central enterprise brand Fortune and the Taiwanese brand Duoli, and its market share declined."
  The article notes: "市场人士分析，良友食用油售价低，是因为作为国企，担负了上海市平抑物价的责任，企业品牌投入资金相对较少。这导致良友在市场竞争中非常不利。"
  From Google Translate: "Market analysts analyzed that the low price of Liangyou cooking oil is because, as a state-owned enterprise, it bears the responsibility of stabilizing prices in Shanghai, and the company's brand investment is relatively small. This puts Liangyou at a great disadvantage in market competition."

  From Google Translate: "The report states that the underwriter of this batch of rice is "Shanghai Liangyou Company," which is under the "Liangyou Group," a company that has exclusive rights to sell rice in China."

Walpole (CDP), Massachusetts

A user who has only edited about this article states that there is no such census-designated place because a government guideline does no allow one to be within an incorporated place; the guideline does exist. (They then edited the article to say that it is not a CDP.) In the talk page, they wanted to proposed it be deleted, but didn't know how, so I am doing it for them.

Because the entirety of most northeastern states is incorporated, the census doesn't see these towns the same way as towns in other states, so they still allow CDPs within them to identify population centers. Lots of these same-named CDPs in all of these states. Though they do make me question whether we should really consider all CDPs automatically notable. Reywas92^Talk 04:12, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
merge with main article The reason for the CDP is that the legal town is much larger than the core settlement town part of Walpole. This can all be explained better in the main article instead of taking it out of context as it is now. CDPs aren't really notable independently of the communities they act as statistical proxies for. I expect the NH example ought to receive the same treatment. Mangoe (talk) 04:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with main article per Mangoe. Like many CDPs in New England, this CDP is nothing more than a statistical entity for an arbitrary section of a town. It doesn't exist as a real place distinct from the town itself, and this article is nothing more than contextless statistics. (Compare to Whitinsville, Massachusetts, and Housatonic, Massachusetts, where the CDPs are distinct villages with their own histories and identities.) I would recommend a wider discussion to decide which CDPs should be merged, but in the meantime this seems like an obvious merge to me. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:56, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree with Walsh90210, this is an inappropriate example-farm. It's also written in the style of a comprehensive academic review paper, with intent to catalogue everything that's ever been done (think Annual Reviews of...). It fails to provide a selective overview of the field appropriate for an encyclopedia. For this reason, I don't think it's mergeable. Most of it would have to be deleted or drastically curtailed (basically a TNT deletion by another name), or a complete rewrite. If other editors agree, I'd prefer to see the entire Applications section removed, and the remainder of the article kept for future editors to build on. But I don't want it kept as it is, because there's too much risk of it lingering unchanged. Elemimele (talk) 15:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the applications section is the value here. Perhaps it could be reduced in size, but it does give an overall review of the state of the art. As with most "list"-type articles, there IS the danger of not being kept up to date, but I don't see that as a reason to remove the content. I also think that there is value in the sources - most look to be quite authoritative. If a merge is done, could these sources be included? Lamona (talk) 16:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe it passes WP:LSC WP:NLIST., because this is essentially a product "catalog" of a record label, which is a publisher. Graywalls (talk) 19:12, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Record label discography lists are useful and common. Since the label itself is notable, I'd argue the set of releases is notable. Since it is too large to roll into the main article, it makes sense to retain as a standalone list. glman (talk) 20:17, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Discographical information is encyclopedic and necessary for robust coverage of bands and labels. This is, unquestionably, a notable record label. The size of the list does mean it makes sense to have as a standalone article, though a merge is also an option. Chubbles (talk) 07:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just a refresher on a relevant discussion from the past Wikipedia_talk:What_Wikipedia_is_not/Archive_59#WP:NOTDIRECTORY,_NOTWEBHOST_for_companies_and_bios which didn't find consensus on exhaustive product catalog for publishers. So, simply splitting off as "product catalog of a publisher" standalone seems like getting around the loophole.*:Graywalls (talk) 07:30, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lists of "product catalogs of publishers" are routinely notable if the "product" is art. We have, and certainly should have, (attempts at) full catalog lists of publishers like Warner Bros., Pixar, Square, and Motown. If the label is notable, we should cover its artistic output encyclopedically, and that includes discographical information. Chubbles (talk) 01:27, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please link to guidelines, or discussions corroborating this, thank you. Graywalls (talk) 01:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We have never had debates about whether a Pixar movie or Final Fantasy game is a "product". Of course it is a product, but of course that is besides the point. Covering them here in the encyclopedia is covering art history. So, too, is covering Christian rock and emo and metalcore released by an impactful, significant, influential label. Chubbles (talk) 14:24, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Lists such as these are useful for sure. However, they must still meet WP:NLIST by having significant coverage that discusses the discography as a group. Are these sources available? --CNMall41 (talk) 20:42, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If we allow things on basis of one person saying "useful" there will be someone saying anything is useful. We'll end up with a "list of Signature Select condiments" and end up with an exhaustive list of their products with Safeway.com as the reference, or the "items sold at Home Depot" and end up with exhaustive list of SKUs. Some hole in the wall record labels are not held sacred over else and I think we shouldn't have product catalogs of this nature. This is going to cause a trend of starting a stand alone list for unacceptable contents to misuse Wikipedia as a webhost. Graywalls (talk) 23:03, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a clear difference between a list of "condiments" or "items sold at Home Depot" and of albums. A discography of a record label that has existed for over 30 years, has major distribution deals, and has signed many notable artists is objectively not the same as a list of UPC items at the grocery store, nor is it the same as a minor indie label listing their releases. glman (talk) 17:11, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CNMall41: well none of the ke.p proponents have commented with or added refs. Graywalls (talk) 01:38, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping. I cannot find anything talking about the list as a group so left a vote. For the record, I do not advocate for keeping lists because of "userfulness." That is why we have categories, navigational boxes, etc. --CNMall41 (talk) 03:49, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Regardless of usefulness, lists must meet WP:NLIST where references need to detail the list as a group, not just the individual entries on the list. --CNMall41 (talk) 03:49, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Generally for publishers that do not have significant roles in the creation of creative works outside of funding, distribution and promotion, a catalog of their works is overkill, unless there is decent sourcing that discuss the whole of the catalog in a significant fashion. Eg we would never list every book published by Penguin, but we may do it for a smaller publisher that gained a reputation for promoting offbeat works. It is more appropriate to lists artists represented by the label even if the artist didn't exclusively release through thst label. Masem (t) 18:02, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yakiv Pavlenko

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

Article by a novice editor of an academic with unclear notability and which has too many unsubstantiated claims. H-factor of 28 with 2574 cites so does not pass #C1. Page contains both significant WP:MILL (e.g. giving a seminar) and unsubstantiated claims such as "published more than 300 papers". GS shows 141 total, many uncited conference papers. Editor claims that he qualifies under #C2 which I am very dubious about since at most the Ukrainian State prize comes close. I tagged the page with notability questionable, and asked for verification of claims. Appsoft4 ignored request, so now it needs a wider discussion of notability (or not).

Comment Please note that the author has strong views on this article but has been temporarily blocked from editing. In the interest of fairness, please consider this diff, which they indicated were their views on the AFD. OXYLYPSE (talk) 23:31, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The subject is not completely unnotable under PROF, the citations appear reasonably healthy. As the subject recently died, it is possible that more obituaries will be published (there is one in memoriam already in the article) which will provide GNG. There's a uk article that appears to predate the subject's death and was apparently not created by Appsoft4. Perhaps draftification is an option? Although the creator appears to have been quite disruptive, imo blocking them from participating in this AfD is not really in the interests of assessing whether or not the article subject meets our threshold. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:44, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They were warned and asked repeatedly to stop removing the AfD tag and blanking this AfD but refused. They did so at least 10 times. AusLondonder (talk) 12:55, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Imagine you are a newbie who has written/translated an article on someone who has recently died, whom you strongly (and not irrationally) believe to be notable, and someone brings it to AfD. Blocking them such that the AfD will be settled in their absence feels... cruel. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:54, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree that it is not impossible that he may end up passing NPROF. Not on citations, as it is not a low citation field and many of his papers have multiple authors. Maybe #C2, although I am not convinced. It might be good for an independent editor to cut the MILL, sources & irrelevant material and add other independent material for us to look at.

It is appropriate to copy his arguments here Unfortunately much of this is WP:MILL for academics (memberships), or not relevant (who wrote the obituary). He does not pass WP:NPROF#C1, or 3-8. To me the isuue is:

Do we consider the State Prize to pass WP:NPROF#C2. If yes, then we clean the article and keep it. If no it gets deleted.

Ldm1954 (talk) 23:46, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's quite as simple as that. I am somewhat persuaded by the notion that the subject is a notable scientist in Ukraine, if not internationally. The entry in the Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine could, I think, be considered to pass WP:ANYBIO #3. The obituary certainly would seem to go towards GNG, the Sci Am piece possibly, if Pavlenko were the key author on the exoplanets work, and the three together might be considered to meet GNG. Altogether I'm leaning keep, particularly swayed by the ANYBIO#3 argument. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:24, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. He very obviously does not pass WP:PROF; the question is whether the in-depth sources about him are independent enough and reliable enough to pass WP:GNG. Indian news sources are rife with paid promotion per WP:NEWSORGINDIA, and I suspect that some or most of the sources here have that issue. The first two (Patrika and News18) are obviously both taken from the same press release, so do not count as independent of each other and maybe not reliable and independent of the subject. India Today is specifically warned about in WP:RSP and our article has no depth of content about the subject. That leaves only the Free Press Journal, about which I know nothing, but whose writing appears more hagiographic than factual or informative. I don't find any of these convincing. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:42, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2007 Gerry Reilly Cup

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

Non-notable edition/staging of amateur sports event - that doesn't meet WP:NSEASON or WP:SIGCOV or WP:NEVENT. Even if the competition as a whole (the Gerry Reilly Cup) has notability, there is nothing to indicate that this single running of that event has independent notability. Certainly the text of the article, the refs within it, and a WP:BEFORE search for other sources do not appear to establish independent notability. If not deleted, as an WP:ATD, the title could perhaps be redirected to Gerry Reilly Cup (perhaps to a section WP:WITHIN it dealing with the 2007 event). But there is otherwise no apparent sources/rationale for a single instance of this (non-national, provincial, amateur, childrens/schoolboy) competition has independent notability. (By extension I would question the expectation/presumption, in this template, that every annual occurrence of this amateur/teenage competition warrants a standalone WP:NSEASON/WP:NEVENT article....)

I intend to create more articles for annual events of this provincial underage football competition, which has grown in stature with each passing year, with counties beyond the province of Leinster now participating. The 2007 Gerry Reilly Cup article was created because when I located the Gerry Reilly Cup article, I found it to be in a very unsatisfactory condition. It was possibly created in 2007 as it focused very much on that year's competition. I tidied up the article and thought it best to create a standalone 2007 Gerry Reilly Cup article to place the bulk of content that I found on the main page. The format of the tournament has also changed since 2007 so the content had become dated and no longer accurate in the way that it appeared on the main page. It was also quite challenging to source references for that renewal of the tournament which happened seventeen years ago. Moresthepity (talk) 21:19, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for your note. If it's "challenging to source references for [..the event..] which happened seventeen years ago", would that not indicate that WP:SIGCOV isn't met? And that, perhaps, (whatever about the competition as a whole or instances of the competition held on other years) the 2007 staging doesn't/didn't warrant a standalone article?

Good Day (BoyNextDoor song)

Doesn't seem to meet WP:NSONG... b-side song, didn't chart, no significant coverage in independent sources (all the news coverage references seem to be just regurgitated press releases from the group's agency saying the song exists).

Some of the article's content could maybe be salvaged and put into a newly-created article about the song's parent maxi-single (along with information on the other 3 songs, maybe?) but as it stands it doesn't fit the criteria. RachelTensions (talk) 23:57, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: here's are the reasons!

Recent Release and Reception: "Good Day" is the first original Japanese-language song by BoyNextDoor, released on July 10, 2024, as part of their maxi single "And," which also includes Japanese re-recordings of previous hits. This context showcases its importance in the group's discography and the expanding international reach of K-pop.
Cultural Impact: The song, characterized as a hip-hop track, deals with themes of self-empowerment and enjoying solitude after a breakup. This relatable subject matter can resonate with a wide audience, enhancing its cultural relevance.
Industry Recognition: BoyNextDoor has already gained significant recognition in the K-pop industry, including awards such as the Global Rising Artist at the 2023 Melon Music Awards. This success indicates a strong fanbase and establishes their credibility as a notable act.
Source Citations: Provide citations from reputable K-pop news sites like Allkpop, Kpopping, and Kpoppie that cover the song's release and significance. These sources validate the content and add weight to the article's claims about the song's impact and the group's activities.

Alright so: none of these reasons assert how the song meets WP:NSONG notability criteria.
Point #2 doesn't describe any actual cultural impact, point #3 is discussing the notability of the band, not the song. Nobody is questioning the notability of the band, and point #4 is moot as none of those sources are reliable sources, and, in fact, most of them are specifically noted as unreliable sources at WP:KO/RS#UR.

Some of Trump's rallies are independently notable. This one is not. This isn't the one where he was shot at or the one evoking comparisons to the 1939 Nazi rally at MSG. This is the rally where Trump decided to stop taking questions and start swaying to music.

Keep and wait: the event did receive widespread coverage after it took place, and if Trump's mental acuity continues to be questioned (or worsen), this event might receive lasting coverage if people look back to it as "that moment when the decline was on full display", particularly if he manages to become President again. I think a wait and see approach would be best. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 16:27, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This feels like a "Gerald Ford forgot to shuck a tamale" kind of situation, even if it gets there (i.e. worth a sentence or two in the context of a larger article). In the biggest (and two weeks out, seemingly unlikely) case that this is "the turning point", that article probably looks very much different from this one, to the point that I would argue it would need to be rewritten from scratch even then. Mockingbus (talk) 18:12, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per GNG and WP:HEY. The article has been significantly expanded since being nominated for deletion less than 2 hours after creation. Of course not every single thing Donald Trump does deserves an article, but this event has received significantly more coverage than most Trump events. It was covered by numerous international news publications, as well as reliable entertainment, LGBTQ, music, political, and popular culture publications. The article includes reactions by both campaigns, the RNC, notable political commentators, notable politicians and former staffers, and notable musicians. I strongly disagree that this article is "more of a list of songs than anything else" that should be distilled down to a single sentence for another article, as suggested above. The article is a work in progress and I invite others to help expand and improve. --Another Believer _(Talk) 16:46, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have expanded it, but you haven't demonstrated notability IMHO. The latest date I see on a reference is October 17, much like my WP:BEFORE search, indicating the lack of SUSTAINED coverage. As said above, there was a brief burst of news coverage that died out within 48 hours and this article is more of a Trump playlist than NEVENT article. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:49, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let’s keep discussing this. While I agree with Wikipedia:Not every single thing Donald Trump does deserves an article, this was notable as a turning point in the campaign; it was the first time that the mainstream media took note of Trump’s recent appearance of “losing it.” Bearian (talk) 00:12, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is it really a turning point? Was it even the first time? For the first I think you'd want to show a meaningful, sustained change in his polling numbers. For the second, I think coverage of his disjointed mental state has gone on long before in the campaign season, and even in his 2017-2021 Presidency. Take, for example, his "sharks and electric boats" rant in June, or his fixation on "Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV." in 2021. Mockingbus (talk) 19:27, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I was waiting to weigh in on this ntil I could see more evidence of sustained coverage of he event and/or its political-cultural impact. I think I just found it in "Donald Trump Is Bored", a NYT op-ed by John McWhorter published on Oct. 31, 2024. It also is a facet of a long form piece in The Atlantic, "Inside The Ruthless, Restless Final Days Of Trump's Campaign", published November 2, 2024. On the basis of this sustained impact, and the expansion by Another Believer, I am !voting to keep. ☆ Bri (talk) 05:42, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll point out that neither of those articles articles give this rally any more than a one-line mention in the context of Trump's overall behavior shift that starts well before and continues well after the rally. Calling that thin coverage even "facets" seems… generous. Mockingbus (talk) 19:19, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. But the nomination says "two weeks later, WP:SUSTAINED coverage is absent". This just isn't so if The New York Times and The Atlantic are still covering it in November. I think that it is important to refute the deletion nomination, if the reasons given in the nomination don't pertain. Maybe other !voters aren't looking as hard as I am, and just take that statement at face value. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:47, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm reading the Tim Alberta piece in The Atlantic now.

Instead of expanding this article, I think we should redirect it to his main page where we can devote a paragraph or two to this incident.

Chao (Sonic the Hedgehog)

AfDs for this article:

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

Looking over the sources, even those on the talk page, they're all pretty trivial or short statements. Chao on their own are an interesting concept, but there's less said about them as their own thing as a fictional species and more as a minigame aspect of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and even as that game mechanic the conversation feels lacking and non-notable.

Even doing a WP:BEFORE I didn't find anything to dissuade that opinion. Kung Fu Man (talk) 07:00, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements and Video games. Kung Fu Man (talk) 07:00, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of Sonic the Hedgehog characters. No independent notability of the subject, but surprisingly the Chao aren't actually on the list yet (And linked at Chaos for some reason? I get he's a mutated Chao but beyond that there's very little association.) Several detailed searches have been done in the past and turned up nothing but review quotes or similar, and many of the current refs constitute as Wikipedia:Trivial mentions. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 12:18, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I do think that the Chao Garden itself is marginally notable. [10] [11] [12] However, this article is unsalvageable and would require a total rewrite to fulfill notability, centered around the minigame rather than the actual creatures. It shouldn't be left as-is. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:11, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article's state is dreadful, but the Chao / Chao Garden definitely meet notability requirements. From a quick Google search I found a Nintendo Life feature, two articles on a Chao-inspired game, multiple articles on Iizuka's announcement there wouldn't be a standalone Chao game ([13][14], [15]), and a few articles on a Chao Garden fan game (Polygon, Kotaku), all filled with commentary that could be integrated in this article. It might be worth reworking this into a Chao Garden-focused article instead of having it as a Chao article, as sources more describe the mode as a whole than the characters specifically. JOE BRO ⁶⁴ 03:13, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Zx mentioned that also and I do agree, the mini game may have some notability. The chao themselves though, not so much, and this whole article would have to be rewritten to focus on Chao Garden.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:26, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Definitely a notable aspect of the Sonic the Hedgehog series with a good amount of independent sources. Article needs revisions to be a good article, but otherwise it's good to stay. MimirIsSmart (talk) 04:11, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:ITSNOTABLE. If you are referring to the above mentioned sources, the Chao themselves and the Chao Garden minigame are an important distinction. The article as currently written is all about Chao as a being and only slightly mentions the Chao Garden. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:35, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am a new editor and still finding my feet, so please don’t be mean if anything I say here is not pertinent for an AfD discussion. As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles I added the single reference to this article – I would say that the source is probably not the most solid, but I have done a bunch of searching for other sources, without turning up anything that is very reliable, like toweli. That said, my sense is that there probably are decent sources sufficient to establish the record label’s notability, but they will likely be in print format from 30+ years ago and therefore less easy to find. Particularly if, like me, editors are not familiar with the area. I am pinging a few users who contributed to both sides in previous deletion discussions according to the edit history: Chubbles Hoponpop69 Tikiwont Hello Control. The creating editor is no longer on Wikipedia. As alternatives to deletion, one might consider:

1. Merging the content into Homestead Records, maybe as a sister label or some such.
2. Creating a new article for the umbrella distributor Dutch East India Trading, and merging this article and that for Homestead Records into that.

-- SunloungerFrog (talk) 08:48, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If such an article on Dutch East India Trading were to be made I would recommend this article to be merged there. Said article has to exist first though. Since it doesn't, I don't recommend for this article to be redirected to Homestead Records either, since there's no mention of Giant Records there. Given the lack of coverage as well as the difficulty of finding anything about it due to the overlap in name with the Warner Bros. label, I recommend delete.

Strong Keep - the specific event, and resultant deaths were of considerable trauma for the whole of Australia at the time, and this list has nothing to specifically existential comparison with other deadly cyclones. Australian weather events in the particular era were nowhere as deadly, or as circumstantially profound as it occurred in the Christmas New Year; also such surprise had been only happened on Darwin when it was bombed during the second world war. Of Australian disasters such as this one, and specifically the deaths, the actual numbers and identification of casualties is of considerable significance due to the length of time to resolve, and the potential for the number to be potentially in actuality never finalised due to suspicions about unidentified and unknown deaths.JarrahTree 06:49, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft can be left standing because drafts are not checked for notability. In view of the history of sockpuppetry and conflict of interest, salting is probably in order in article space. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:25, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I’d like to address Reference Number 5. It was mentioned that this is just an interview about prefab building, but after reviewing it carefully, I see it as an independent article. The article discusses EPACK Prefab’s role in the prefabricated construction sector. In it, the director of EPACK Prefab highlights how prefabrication allows for up to 90% of the work to be completed in a factory, which significantly speeds up the construction process. From my perspective, this is more than an interview—it’s an article that explores prefab construction and specifically references Epack Prefab company's name.

Comment I’d also like to address Reference Number 1. It is mentioned that this is an interview, but after a thorough review, I believe it’s actually an independent article. The article covers the growth of warehousing in Visakhapatnam and includes references to EPACK Prefab’s contributions within this sector. It highlights the company’s involvement in prefab construction for warehousing, showing how our solutions support this expanding industry. From my perspective, this is more than an interview—it’s an article that provides insight into warehousing growth while specifically mentioning EPACK Prefab’s role. Suhailjav (talk) 04:49, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Reference Number 10. It was noted that this reference 'reads like a corporate profile,' but upon reviewing it, I see it as an independent article focused on EPACK Prefab’s #WasteToWorth campaign. The article discusses the company’s sustainability and recycling initiatives rather than promoting its profile. It specifically highlights EPACK Prefab’s efforts to encourage eco-friendly practices within the prefabrication industry. In my view, this piece serves as a report on the campaign and EPACK Prefab’s commitment to sustainable practices, rather than a corporate profile.

Delete: Most sources are either unreliable or marginally reliable. Usable sources that could establish notability are neither independent of the subject nor in-depth. A cursory search for more sources does not turn up any significant coverage thus failing the general notability critera that would warrant an inclusion in the encyclopaedia.

I looked at the previous AfD and it seems to me that the problem is that "cultural icon" is completely undefined. Entries on such a list may be verified, but they are at the whim of the commentator in the source calling them an icon. I see no purpose in such a random list: delete.

Hi lbjaja055,

Thank you for your careful review and dedication to Wikipedia’s standards. I do want to acknowledge this is my first attempt at creating a biography for a living person, so I may not be fully versed in all nuances of the guidelines. However, I’m committed to refining the page to meet the standards set by WP and would welcome any guidance on improvements. I do respectfully disagree with the proposed deletion and would like to clarify the sources used and their relevance.

The assertion that “most of the sources are about his company” is not entirely accurate. While there are a few references to his company, Camouflet, they represent a minority of the sources and were included primarily because they are recent publications. The majority of references come from reputable scientific journals and independent media outlets that focus on his personal contributions to the field, particularly his pioneering research during the COVID-19 pandemic.

These sources highlight his impactful discoveries and advancements, which have had a verifiable influence on public health and scientific understanding during a critical time. His work meets the notability criteria outlined in WP

through these reliable, independent publications, which underscore his standing in the scientific community and the lasting significance of his contributions.

I hope this clarification provides a fuller picture of the subject’s notability, independent of his company, and trust it will support reconsideration of the deletion proposal. Thank you again for your commitment to maintaining Wikipedia's high standards. Stichodactyla (talk) 19:05, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scottsville, Indiana

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

I'm having considerable trouble in Floyd County, as the book citations are all failing verification. There are two references to a Scottsville in it, but neither is on the cited page, and it's not clear that either of them refers to a place in Indiana. And in any case both are location name drops. The topo seems to indicate that someone thought about a town there, but there's no evidence it ever amounted to anything. Mangoe (talk) 03:00, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
