Almost entirely cites primary, self-published sources. There do not appear to be any reliable secondary sources to speak of, and thus this regrettably well-developed topic fails WP:GNG. Remsense ‥ 论 23:38, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Language-related deletion discussions. Remsense ‥ 论 23:38, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While the first sentence of the most recent nomination in 2009 (only featured in a single Russian language magazine and has a brief mention in an LA Times article) is immediately purported in replies to show that the subject is in fact sufficiently notable, this is clearly not the case. The situation has seemingly not improved since. Remsense ‥ 论 23:39, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The language is discussed in this New Yorker article. Stockhausenfan (talk) 23:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of this significant coverage. In your opinion, should I just withdraw this? Remsense ‥ 论 00:23, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say let the deletion process go through, as in the previous deletion discussions there were a lot of votes to delete, so it may be that people still have more to weigh in on this issue. If it's decided that the New Yorker article is enough for the page to meet WP:GNG then the article will be kept, so the discussion may as well be allowed to continue.

Regular sound correspondences between Hungarian and other Uralic languages

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

The topics "Regular sound correspondences between Uralic languages" and "Historical phonology of Hungarian" are both notable. However, this topic does not have notability independent of those topics; Hungarian does not play such a critical role in Uralic reconstruction as to justify the existence of this page.

Delete per WP:TNT. Let’s be honest about some facts here: (1) it’s completely unreferenced and nobody is making any effort to find sources, (2) changing the title of this essay is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, and (3) it’s most likely original research. It’s time to source this and fix it, or delete it. If you want to fix this, but need more than a few days, Draftify it yourself. Bearian (talk) 11:25, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1935–36 Maltese FA Trophy

Keep This 2016 article proves this can be verified, and that the competition was "worthy of note" by 1936 standards.— Preceding unsigned comment added by SportingFlyer (talk • contribs) 00:57, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per SportingFlyer. Malta was a crown colony in the 1930s and had a few newspapers then, Gazzetta Maltese (Italian) covered sports, Times of Malta founded in the 1930s covered sports, I don't know how complete this List of newspapers in Malta is, however, there are still ways to search the old newspapers then. So a true WP:BEFORE can never be done until someone has actually reviewed these old publications. Is wikipedia going to very strict and delete what is in essence would be classic archival of historical season results for this tournament? I ponder that as, this kind of article is what I believe the WP:Football project should be creating. Govvy (talk) 09:40, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Govvy I tried the alternative of draftication due to similar concerns of my own (but with a more deletionistic bias), but the article sat in draftpace for a few days and then was moved back unchanged. The creator had "articlecountitis," attemping to make similar unsourced articles rapidly, but has since stopped. Of all those articles, I think this one is the only one which has any hope to be kept; hopefully, if that happens, either you or SportingFlyer adds the proper sourcing and summarizes it. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 10:15, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are several of these at AfD at the same time, all created by one user. The main problem with them is the complete lack of sourcing, and we're not in a position to find one. They also contain some errors. If an original source had been provided, none of these would be at AfD! These are difficult sources to track down, they shouldn't be on us to find, so I don't really care if some are kept and some are redirected, but I do want to make the point that these should be eligible for articles. SportingFlyer T·C 17:12, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer I'm of the view that redirects are cheap, in part they are a good deal easier to revert than an outright deletion (basically, I'm a deletionist, but at my core, I'm a redirectionist/mergist). I'm okay with redirection or being kept but with sourcing as well. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 22:18, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Afghanistan–Pakistan skirmishes

Delete or merge whatever else content on this page to Afghanistan–Pakistan border skirmishes. Per below and WP:REDUNDANTFORK.

This is just an un-needed fork for a page we already have. Not only that, but this page has heavy content from other groups such as the BLA, or TTP, which are scopes completely irrelevant to this topic alone. This page is named "2024 Afghanistan-Pakistan Skirmishes", but also only covers the March 2024 border Skirmishes, when there has also been skirmishes last month in September, which is included in the Afghanistan–Pakistan border skirmishes page.

@M Waleed Firstly, there was sockpuppets involved in the original AFD, go back to it to see blocked accounts. Secondly, I never brought up WP:REDUNDANTFORK. Noorullah (talk) 03:23, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete according to WP:REDUNDANTFORK. As mentioned, the incidents listed here are already mentioned in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border skirmishes page. There haven't been any incidents this year that are themselves more notable than incidents any other year to warrant this being its own article independent of the main article on this topic. And, yeah, looking at the previous AfD discussion, there seems to have been at least a little bit of sockpuppetry going on? One of the main arguments that was made in favour of keeping the article was that it contains proper sources, which is true, but those sources would be no less proper in the main article. There's no reason for this article to exist, and there's no reason to merge because, as already pointed out, the information here is already in the main article.

"It is in my Eyes a good Article and should therefore not be deleted!" is directly against AFD policy, just because you think in your eyes it is a good article does not mean it is worthy of being kept.

Melee weapon

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

Seems to be largely original research or merely a WP:DICDEF. "Melee weapon" seems to be almost entirely a tabletop gaming term, so I suggest a merge to Role-playing game terms. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:42, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: While I can understand the desire for a classification of "melee weapon", I don't really believe the term itself deserves a dedicated article. I can't really come up with a coherent response without sounding like a wiki-ouroboros, and WP:DICDEF is the best I can come up with. Broadly construed from the use cases of the term I know, a melee weapon is a non-projectile weapon intended for close-quarter combat. Dictionary.com might be more suited for this than Wikipedia.

Gallery of passport stamps by country or territory

AfDs for this article:

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

Article that should've been a Wikimedia Commons gallery instead. An article about visa policy by country could be encyclopedic, and the footnotes on this article provide potentially useful material for that. However, the current article topic is functionally a list of pictures with little context, and would be better suited for Wikimedia Commons.

Russian film director. The importance of a serial (mostly) director is extremely questionable. The Russian Wikipedia article was deleted [1].--Анатолий Росдашин (talk) 22:05, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Er nesto (talk) Keep: This article should be kept because the director in question has a significant body of work, having directed multiple popular television sitcoms in Russia, a major media market. Furthermore, she has received international recognition, with awards that affirm her notability beyond national boundaries. There are plenty of references from major outlets, including Cosmopolitan and RIA Novosti. The fact that the Russian Wikipedia chose to delete the article does not diminish her achievements, as Wikipedia in different languages may have unique standards or biases—this is the English Wikipedia, which evaluates notability from an international perspective and should base its decision on the director's clear contributions to the industry and documented impact, not on the editorial decisions of other Wikipedias. It is also unfortunate to delete a page about a notable female director, as representation in media coverage is essential to recognizing the contributions of women in film and television, especially in an industry where they are historically underrepresented.

Maryam Issaka Kriese

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

Article about an unelected political candidate, not properly sourced as meeting notability criteria for unelected political candidates. As always, candidates are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their name happens to be on the ballot -- a person has to win election to an WP:NPOL-passing office to get an article on that basis, while unelected candidates must either (a) demonstrate that they had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten them an article as it is, or (b) show credible reasons why they should be seen as a special case of much greater and more enduring significance than other candidates.
And no, the fact that a smattering of campaign coverage happens to exist is not, in and of itself, a WP:GNG-based exemption from NPOL -- every candidate in every election can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, so if that were how it worked then NPOL would just be completely meaningless and unenforceable.
But there's no strong claim to preexisting notability here, and no particular evidence that her candidacy would pass the ten year test in and of itself -- even the campaign coverage is entirely a two-day blip of "presidential candidate announces running mate", with no evidence of substantial or sustained coverage for any other reason shown at all.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation after election day if she wins the election, but she isn't "inherently" notable just for being a candidate. Bearcat (talk) 21:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify: I found some sources (which appear to be secondary) see 1, 2 and 3. The article needs some improvement in general, but I don't think it should be deleted. SirBrahms (talk) 09:31, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The page is 12 years old and has had no active editing. Draftify looks like backdoor deletion in this case. But the sources you have found are interesting. The first is a primary source: a Ph.D. thesis. Despite being a primary source, it could contain secondary information about the university, and provide something to write an article from, so I would not rule it out just for being apparently primary. The second source is a listing. That is not SIGCOV, definitely not at CORPDEPTH, and independence is questionable. The third source is the most important though. That tells us that the university was seized and closed down in 2016 following a failed military coup (it was an asset of those involved). The source is primary in that it is a news report, but presents a bit of a quandary. It shows that, on the one hand, the university no longer exists and only existed for six years. Based on that, it is unlikely this ever reached notability. On the other hand, the very event that caused it to close would appear to make something notable. I am leaning towards merge to somewhere, if there is a suitable target regarding the coup. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your comments! It may be viable to merge it into Purges in Turkey following the 2016 Turkish coup attempt (especially considering it hasn't had any active editing in so long (a thing I regrettably forgot to check)). Regards, SirBrahms (talk) 17:40, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd move to merge if it made sense. How would that look though? There were 15 universities closed in the purge, and none are currently named. Should they be listed? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:10, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say yes. I'm imagining something like this:
University one, Place, Exact reason for closure (if applicable)

etc.

What do you think? Regards, SirBrahms (talk) 20:03, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If we have the exact reason for each, sure. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:29, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Further to my above comment, according to this page Purges in Turkey following the 2016 Turkish coup attempt, this was one of 15 universities shut down in the purges following the coup. It seems undue to add this one to that page. Yet if it is not even notable for a mention there, it is not notable for a page. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nanoarchitectonics

Jargon term invented in 1999 that has never been adopted by the wider community. I would just delete it as very little links to it. (If you really, really want the name then do a redirect to nanotechnology, but I am not in favor of that.) Ldm1954 (talk) 14:33, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTNEO. Everything salvageable in this article is already covered in the Nanotechnology article; the term is a needlessly-technical synonym for "controlled nanoassembly" and, as nom said, has never caught on. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 20:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A few-second search brings 30,000+ links to dissimilar Google Books and 3000+ uses in Web of Science, either in the article title or abstract. That is definitely not negligible. According to ref. 1 in the article, nanoarchitectonics is wider than nanotechnology and involves ".. non-nanotechnology fields such as supramolecular chemistry with self-assembly/self-organization [44–47], materials fabrications [48–50], and biotechnology [51–55]". Materialscientist (talk) 12:30, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I cannot verify your claim of 3000+ uses in WoS, I get 1,175 and many of those that have some cites come from K. Ariga. This compares to 55,639 for nanotechnology and 185,073 for nanoparticle. I will definitely dispute the claim in the lead of the article that producing graphere is part of nanoarchitectonics. Ldm1954 (talk) 13:09, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you restrict your search? I search in all fields over Web of Science Core Collection. Ariga contributes to 308 entries out of 3,039, that is 10%. Nanoparticle is a different object class. Nanotechnology is definitely a more popular term than nanoarchitectonics, I am not arguing against that. Surely we can dispute how to class technological processes, such as graphene exfoliation, but I don't see how this would be relevant to a decision to keep/delete an article. Anyway, I think graphene exfoliation in the lede explains "nano-creation" and not necessarily nanoarchitectonics. Materialscientist (talk) 13:55, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did not restrict my search, I am not sure why there is a difference. Let's wait for more opinions, at the moment it would be "no concensus". Ldm1954 (talk) 14:17, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop. and No Mend No Repair (a third bluelinked album already redirected to someone else's work -- now fixed with a disambiguated redlink) in the absence of evidence that they met WP:NALBUM, but on further review I can't find any evidence that they actually meet WP:GNG/WP:NBAND.

Macedonian mafia

AfDs for this article:

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

I realize that the article was nominated for deletion before. However, significant and in-depth coverage in reliable sources about the so-called "Macedonian mafia" is lacking. The only academic source I've encountered that mentions the Macedonian mafia is Social Change, Gender and Violence: Post-communist and war affected societies. It is true that there are criminal groups in North Macedonia (as well as Macedonian criminals abroad) but I have not seen any sources classify them as part of a broader body, so the whole premise for the article is based on original research. Besides, everything that has been added has been contrary to WP:NOTNEWS. StephenMacky1 (talk) 16:23, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to fail WP:GNG. Almost all sources in the article are clearly not reliable. These are practically only the most insignificant references to the organization's participation in some protest actions. The only sources with detailed descriptions are Vashi Novosti and Nakanune.ru, which, however, in the case of Vashi Novosti are devoted to an interview with the head of the organization, and for Nakanune.ru they also consider in the interview format the independent activities of a part of this organization, and not the organization as a whole.

Agnes Gallus

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

Biography of an artist, not properly referenced as having a strong claim to passing WP:NARTIST. The main notability claim attempted here is that her work has been exhibited -- but notability on that basis doesn't derive from using the self-published websites of the galleries to prove that the exhibitions happened, it derives from using reliable source coverage about her and her work to prove that they were the subjects of independent third-party coverage and analysis by people without direct involvement in her career.
However, this is referenced mainly to primary sources, like gallery websites and directory entries, with the exception of a Globe and Mail "Lives Lived" (its feature for personal essays about the deaths of people who were meaningful in the life of the writer, but not necessarily famous or notable) which was written by her own daughter and thus isn't fully independent of the subject, and a brief glancing (and thus not substantive) namecheck of her existence in a short blurb. And on a ProQuest search for other sourcing, I got just three hits total, of which one was the same Lives Lived and the other two are just more short blurbs.
There's also reason to suspect direct conflict of interest here, as the creator's only other Wikipedia activity has been the sixth resubmission in eight months of an undersourced draft about one of Agnes's daughter's films, which was originally created by a "different" editor with an only slightly different username whose edit history also revolves exclusively around the work of said daughter.
The daughter herself is genuinely notable, that's not the problem at all, though the related articles may need some review for COI-related neutrality issues nonetheless -- but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt Agnes from having to have more and better sourcing than this.

The rest of the article is completely unsourced and provides no evidence of WP:SIGCOV.

To be considered notable on Wikipedia, it's not enough to be popular in terms of user base; there needs to be significant coverage from trustworthy and independent sources. If the coverage isn’t thorough or the sources aren't reliable, the platform's importance in the digital audio streaming industry might be exaggerated.

I can't read Japanese, but GoogleTranslate can, and the Japanese version is vastly better than either the English or French ones, and almost convinces me that this is a notable person who deserves an article.

Keep. I vaguely recall this Draft, and I apparently reviewed and declined it four times (though that's not in the article history) for npov and source issues.

My feelings are it was correctly accepted by @ToadetteEdit on this revision.

I think this is a straight up delete and salt. The sequence goes: (1) Attempt to create the promotional version at AfC: declined. (2) Make a less promotional version, get through AfC, then add in the promotion: deleted at AfD. (3) Make a new account, create a less promotional version using a variant title. Pretend to be new and confused as a smokescreen. Pretend that the problem is the sources in Greek, when the problem is that this is fundamentally an advert. Clearly, the next stage is to add promotional content tweak by tweak, and we simply do not have time for this. It's a timesink, a quagmire of our precious volunteer time. And the re-creation with a variant title is unacceptable. We must not reward that behaviour with success.—S Marshall T/C 00:10, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, In terms of neutrality and notability, there is a strong case to be made for the preservation and further development of an article on contemporary Greek art. Although there may be areas for improvement in tone and neutrality, these issues can be addressed through edits and discussion on the article's talk page rather than redirection or deletion. Contemporary Greek art, with its rich foundation and modern evolution, holds significant cultural and artistic relevance. Ample sources attest to its importance and influence, solidifying its notability. Rather than deletion, it’s more productive to refine the article’s language and improve its adherence to Wikipedia's neutrality standards, ensuring it accurately represents contemporary Greek art's impact on the global art landscape.

The article currently fails to meet the notability criteria outlined in WP:GNG and WP:NORG. As a newly established regional political organization, it has not made notable contributions to regional or national political landscapes. Most sources are centered on initial news coverage reporting the party’s formation by a well-known actor, lacking substantial analysis or depth regarding the party’s policies, actions, or influence. There is no indication that the party has engaged in any significant political activities or initiatives that would establish its importance.

Fractional calculus of sets

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

Mathematical topic stemming from a 2021 article published in a semi-predatory journal. References are all very primary, or else mostly irrelevant to the topic at hand (e.g., a general reference for fractional calculus; a book on abelian groups). I'm not seeing either the huge number of citations or the textbook coverage that I'd expect for a notable topic. Written by an editor who appears to be one of the authors of the 2021 paper in an apparent attempt to promote their research (but since it was properly run through AfC, COI concerns are reduced).

Comment. Fractional calculus can be a legitimate subject but for whatever reason it has been heavily taken up by paper-mill authors publishing low-quality papers in predatory journals and citing each other through citation cartels, a phenomenon described for instance in Science [26] although not specifically with respect to fractional calculus. Many of the references in this article, not just the foundational one, look highly dubious. For that reason I think they should not be taken at face value. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:17, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sean Combs sexual misconduct allegations

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

Delete or redirect for now. Probably salt further editing until he's convicted. Tavantius (talk) 16:22, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Sean Combs is a public figure, and so not covered by WP:BLPCRIME, but rather by WP:BLPPUBLIC. For public figures in high-profile criminal cases or lawsuits, BLP does not frown upon covering the cases -- whether they end in conviction/liability or not. We have many, many articles about celebrity trials. Combs's court cases undoubtedly meet WP:GNG. It's not a BLP issue, or a GNG issue, it's a WP:PAGEDECIDE issue. In this case, there is so much WP:RS specifically about these court cases (and certainly much more to be written as the cases progress) that including them in the parent biography article may be WP:UNDUE for the biography article. In any event, just on length alone, the sub-article about the court cases is long enough to merit a WP:SPINOFF. I see no reason to delete, or merge. Levivich (talk) 17:09, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This page is a result of a long split discussion. Though that discussion was about the the entire legal issues section, and the sexual allegations is a subsection. This subject is notable and worldwidely debated, as shown by reliable sources. The article can indeed be expanded with more content, as there are more things to be added. Web-julio (talk) 17:29, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect WP:PUBLICFIGURE provides pretty clear guidance that reliable coverage of embarrassing but reliably sourced content belongs on Wikipedia even when a trial has not concluded.

Keep. I don't find the arguments for deletion made so far persuasive. BLP doesn't forbid or discourage this type of article, and the fact that someone has never been convicted of a crime is no reason to consider the allegation not notable. On the other hand, there is a good body of reliable information about the accusations made against this artist. If this article was in a very bad state regarding BPL standards or the subject was less notable or a non-public person, then I would probably be in favor of redirecting. Badbluebus (talk) 21:32, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Clearly worthy of a standalone article given the vast coverage of the allegations by sources that meet WP:BLP and WP:RS, and as mentioned before came as a result of consensus from a talk page discussion, so the creation of the page is not without precedent. JeffSpaceman (talk) 01:38, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria for charts at WP:MUSIC is: "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." World Digital Song Sales isn't a national music chart and isn't listed as an acceptable chart at WP:BILLBOARDCHARTS.
As far as the Naver articles you mentioned, of the three in the article, this and this are just regurgitations of the press releases from their agency and don't meet the definition of "non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself" as described in WP:BAND. RachelTensions (talk) 00:22, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BILLBOARDCHARTS states "Genre-specific digital song sales and streaming songs charts should not be included unless a song did not chart on the respective all-genre Digital Song Sales or Streaming Songs charts and the genre's "hot" chart." so in these circumstances it is an acceptable chart.

Julia Chang

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

While I recognize Kazama has put a massive amount of work into this over the year, I think if anything when the dust settled it showed the real problem with the article: when trimmed down, there's nothing actually *said*. Unlike Michelle Chang where there is discussion about her as a Native American and representation within the Tekken series as well as gaming as a whole, Julia's reception is more rooted in "she's popular" and "fans wanted her back", with citations of players and not statements from reliable secondary sources themselves analyzing the character. The one source discussing Julia's cultural background and analyzing it is more because she's related to Michelle as that character's daughter.

I want to stress that again, a lot of work has been put into this article. But a WP:BEFORE, and what's here, both illustrate there's no meat on this bone and that was the case before he started working on this. Kung Fu Man (talk) 07:58, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I found a few sources online and added them to the article when I saw this AfD, and have been waiting to see what other editors' views were. The school has existed for 99 years and evidently educates girls from some influential families, with at least one notable former student, Staceyann Chin. Safiya Sinclair, who didn't attend the school, mentions it in her memoir: "all the brightest girls either went to Montego Bay High School or Mount Alvernia High School".

Comment - User:Bastun has nominated nine Remedy Drive albums for deletion, all with the same non-descriptive rationale copy/pasted into each: "Fails WP:NOTABILITY requirements, specifically WP:NMUSIC; no WP:SIGCOV." (The first nomination has slightly different syntax.) There is no evidence that a WP:BEFORE search, specific to each album, was done before this mass copy/paste operation. Some of the album articles have citations to reliable sources in the Christian music media, though others could be redirected to the band's article. That's already more variable evidence then given in these mass nominations. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:29, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - not sure what you mean by "non-descriptive"? It's accurate. The albums have all failed to chart, and do not meet any criteria listed in WP:NALBUM (and I did not nominate articles by the band which had charted). Nor do they satisfy WP:SIGCOV - significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Passing mention in genre music reviews was all I could find when doing WP:BEFORE, and that doesn't qualify. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 16:45, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unless something establishes him notable for himself, I say he's not notable. This works the other way as well.

Right. That's why I'm not counting that coverage of the bands he's been in, because that would be more appropriate for the requisite articles.

Members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability. Every band Sherlock has been in is definitely notable, no question. But, and I was surprised at this, so far it appears there's one source, mentioned above, that is about him specifically rather than a band he's part of. Horde was a one-man-band in studio, true, but that's technically separate and any info about that would be duplicated between the band article and this article.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 11:50, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Mortification (band).

I oppose that redirect. There are pages of search results with RS coverage about his work in Horde. Horde also was comprised solely of Sherlock for the studio recording. There is plenty of information about him that could go into that article if it was developed more. Plus, there's also a lot of coverage of Revulsed. And that's not to mention his work in Paramaecium (~~which he was a member of longer than Mortification~~) and Deliverance. There's too many significant bands that could be the target of a redirect. If one was to be prioritized, Horde would be the most reasonable, imo, because it was a solo project.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 12:26, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. At the time when this deletion nomination was made the page disambiguated 6 people, and it now disambiguates 8, making it potentially helpful. As explained above, a disambiguation page can be useful for distinguishing people with names which are not the same but which could be confused, as well as for disambiguating people with identical names. However, even if we ignore that consideration, there are currently three entries for people named exactly "Elizabeth Freeman", so the page is fully justified.

Sant Baba Bhag Singh University

The article does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for educational institutions. Sant Baba Bhag Singh University lacks significant academic achievements, industry recognition, or research contributions to justify a dedicated article.

~~Weak~~ delete. I see little sign of NPROF, with only one highly cited paper that is also very highly coauthored. I am skeptical of GNG -- the NPR piece is somewhat substantial, but the other pieces are either primary (usually authored by the subject) or else do not mention her. The book has gotten some reviews, but these do not list her as an author [30][31].

@Bpuddin, what is the secondary independent coverage that is in that interview? GNG requires multiple SIGCOV IRS sources, so even a single SIGCOV source (the NPR interviews count as one source) would not be sufficient. JoelleJay (talk) 20:01, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Disagree that the sources @Nnev66 highlighted don't contribute to GNG; she's being included in them as an expert on science communication, not just a general interview about her or her work. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 13:15, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GNG typically requires significant coverage. The sources mentioned above do not meet that standard. While being a leading expert in certain fields can make an individual encyclopedically notable, we would need evidence such as frequent citations by peers, a decent number of highly cited scholarly publications, teaching positions, contributions to significant research, or at least explicit statements from reliable sources recognizing them as a top expert in their field. I'd say most people holding a PhD in their fields are experts, but that doesn't make them all notable per Wikipedia's standards, even if they're cited/interviewed in one or two mainstream news outlets as experts. Mooonswimmer 01:59, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/update: I've struck the Science blogging book ref in my list for notability above as it is a primary source. I was reading sentences in a Google link to the book that mislead me into thinking there was a section about Neeley - once I got ahold of the book I realized there was no secondary coverage. Regarding the other three references, the NPR ones could be considered one source as they both refer to the Short Wave podcast. By my reading of WP:INTERVIEWS#Notability, I believe they provide significant coverage as the host does synthesis of Neeley's background and credentials and presents it in her own words, thereby making it secondary coverage. As noted above, there is some coverage of Neeley in the WaPo reference - more than passing mention but it could argued not significant coverage. Also added another reference to article I found in the journal Cell which is also an interview but has a mix of primary/secondary coverage. Nnev66 (talk) 17:32, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Cell interview definitely does not have "a mix of primary/secondary coverage" -- the only secondary coverage is less than a sentence in the intro: science communicator Liz Neeley, founding partner of Liminal and cofounder of Solving for Science. That's nowhere near SIGCOV...

I also just noticed that the WaPo article is an opinion piece, which is explicitly disallowed from counting towards notability as it's a primary source.

So even if either of the NPR interviews contained IRS SIGCOV (which they do not), we would still need multiple sources to meet GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 19:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the WaPo piece is not an opinion piece by Neeley (which would be primary), but she and her work are cited and discussed within it to support the Auchenbach's commentary. (In full, it's an excerpt from a National Geographic feature story "The Age of Disbelief" (March 2015), though most of the Neeley quote and commentary there is as it is in the Post piece.) —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 20:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, opinion pieces are considered primary regardless of what they're covering or who they're by. JoelleJay (talk) 21:38, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Except based on the content, the Auchenbach piece isn't an opinion piece. It's from 2015 when the current "Opinions" section was called "Outlook" and ran book reviews, along with opinion pieces, commentary, and analysis. This piece, despite the current "Opinion" label from the Post's website, is clearly secondary in nature, providing analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of research into the ways people process (and deny) scientific evidence. Neeley is quoted and her work referenced as part of that. If the Post's opinion label on an excerpt makes it primary in your mind, then look to the original article: Achenbach, Joel (March 2015) "The Age of Disbelief", National Geographic, 277(3):30–47... —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 11:53, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, I said the source was to too far from SIGCOV to count towards GNG even before seeing it was labeled an opinion piece, so this doesn't change anything for me. JoelleJay (talk) 17:25, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Cell interview is in a reliable source and shows a depth of preparation by the interviewer. In the opening the interviewer notes: You trained in marine biology and conservation, but you also have wide experience in communicating a range of ideas, from neuroscience to the COVID-19 pandemic. From there the interviewer notes the subject's “theory and practice of sensemaking" and asks her to expand on it in the context of telling complicated science-themed stories. The proceeding questions ask the subject to unpack how to write for a general audience and differences between technical writing versus scientific storytelling. The interviewer is synthesizing what the subject says, which I consider secondary, before proceeding on to the next question. Nnev66 (talk) 20:47, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The interviewer just says You’ve said in the past that you’re focused on the “theory and practice of sensemaking.” That has zero secondary content, it's just repeating what the subject has said about themselves. None of the subsequent questions have anything more than that.

Interviewer questions that suggest a "depth of preparation" are still not coverage unless they actually contain secondary analysis of the subject. Otherwise every interview with a couple pointed questions would be considered SIGCOV. And someone's live reactions to another person's statements are exactly what our policy on primary encompasses: "Primary sources were either created during the time period being studied [...] They reflect the individual viewpoint of a participant or observer." The interviewer is a participant in the interview. This is consistent with longstanding practical consensus on interviews at AfD. JoelleJay (talk) 22:24, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The sources are perhaps reliable enough to support the claims in the article, but none of them contributes to WP:GNG; they are not simultaneously in-depth, independent, and reliably published. Among Nnev's selection, the first NPR link and Cell are interviews (most content non-independent). The crossed-off book source is a chapter by the subject about self-promotion (a bit of a red flag). The second NPR link and the WaPo piece name-drop her for some quotes but have no depth of coverage about her. And I didn't see much else. That leaves WP:PROF#C1, and her citation record [36], where she was a minor coauthor in a middle position on one well-cited publication on a subject totally unrelated to her science communication work. I don't think we can base an article, especially this article, on that. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:42, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A 1973 Delaware County, Indiana ordinance calls it the "Town of Medford", and there are a few scattered, mostly unreliable mentions of it, e.g. an obituary, "Barb attended a Seagoing Cowboys celebration in Medford, Indiana, during Heifer's 70th anniversary in 2014.", "Barth, a Medford, Indiana, manufacturer of recreation and commercial vehicles" (p. 42), 1979.

Keep - Although I have not found a reliable source saying "people lived here", I did find the town plat, and also came across obituaries and stuff like that. Google streetview shows a bunch of houses there too. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:28, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The issue with these zoning maps and plats is that what's on the ground bears no particular resemblance to the streets and lots they paint. The plat in particular is so wrong that I cannot determine whether it represents land north or south of the road. likewise, while the zoning ruling at least contains some photography, what has actually happened in the intervening years is that of the area north of the road, the wedge adjacent to the RR RoW has been consolidated into a single property, everything east of that has lapsed back into farmland.I gather the point of the zoning was the consolidation of that land into residential land.

The point here is that there's no doubt in all of this that someone wanted a town here, apparently to the point of setting it up as far as land use was concerned. The substantial discrepancies between the legal definitions and the reality on the ground, however, indicate that the town is a legal fiction that was never realized. The plat in particular is pretty damning, as there is no evidence that any of the streets shown was ever constructed. A few houses along the main road were built, and some sort of business (which presumably was where this Barth was in later years) was built next to the tracks, but that appears to be it.

There is never going to be an objective criteria of "controversial election" defined by multiple independent, reliable, and secondary sources.

Cunard (talk) 09:01, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken a closer look at the articles you provided. Thanks for compiling them, I did not find a single one myself. However, I do not believe that these articles merit sufficient coverage. The (first two) articles by Taiwan News and CommonWealth Magazine aren't primarily about the company TECO itself. They portray the recent leadership battle around TECO. According to the notability guidelines sources must provide "Significant coverage of the company itself". Furthermore, there are other problems with the articles concerning the notability guidelines:

Multiple articles by one organization listed as one source:

1.Taiwan News: The article has been written by Contributing Writer Paul Shelton and is therefore not clearly independent or reliable. Furthermore, as the article mainly repeats the statements of parties involved in the leadership battle and only gives little, already publicly available information (Members of the board, short history, vague description of present TECO), it is probably churnalism.(see WP:ORIGIND)

2.CommonWealth Magazine: The "TECO's Father-Son Struggle, Family Matters Turned Into Public Matters..." article probably meets the criteria for a usable source. The other article, however, is about an entirely different person switching to TECO. The article itself briefly mentions TECO, but does not discuss it in depth.

3.United Daily News: The article is very short and probably only trivial coverage. Furthermore, it only lists awards that TECO got, does not go into any depth and reads like promotion.

Conclusion: I beleive that your third suggestion (first long article by CommonWealth) is the only article that can be used to asses the notability of TECO. However, a single source is not enough and the article is not entirely on topic as well. I have, however, not looked at your first suggestion (the book excerpt) yet. Rajix4 (talk) 12:16, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I consider all of these sources to contribute to notability. Regarding the Taiwan News article, that Paul Shelton is a contributing writer does not detract from the article's reliability. The source covers a leadership struggle in the company and includes secondary analysis ("However, the FutureTECO campaign has an uphill battle ahead of it.") Coverage of a leadership struggle in a company is coverage of the company. The article is functionally independent of the company. Both articles in CommonWealth Magazine provide significant of TECO. The second article does not briefly mention TECO; it mentions the company's name "東元" 41 times. Regarding the United Daily News article, I cited it because it verifies that TECO was covered in an April 2023 report by MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) which strongly contributes to notability. The book excerpt strongly establishes notability because TECO is covered on six pages. Cunard (talk) 09:45, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

but the subject not having significant coverage from independent, reliable source where by the sources talk about the subject in lenght and in depth and not passing mentioned. All social media, org, edu and gov sites are considered not reliable or independent and can NOT be used to contribute to meet GNG criteria or NPLACE and in addition NPLACE does not supersede GNG. Cassiopeia talk 01:12, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable. This seems like an incredibly arbitrary AfD, there are hundreds of thousands of places that fail GNG but are included on Wikipedia because they pass NPLACE. Noah ^💬 02:07, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Again NPLACE does not supersede GNG and to pass either one they sources of significant coverage by independent, reliable sources (IRS) need to be provided for verification.. Articles about places that fails GNG and is in the main space is because no one/editor yet to AfD the articles and it is NOT because they are in main space means they pass GNG. Thousand of article that fail GNG or SNG are in Wikipedia and they always CAN be AfD if anyone nominate them in regardless how long the articles in main space Wikipedia. There might be other languages have IRS about the place which I dont know know those languages, but if anyone can find them then add them in the article and let me know.05:32, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Keep passes WP:NPLACE. Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable. Quick google search can easily found multiple independent coverage of this district. Ckfasdf (talk) 21:53, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting. It seems that, according to WP:NPLACE, GNG only matters in this evaluation if the article subject is not a legally recognized place. While gov sites might not establish notability, if they verify that this subject is legally recognized, then I think the editors arguing Keep have the stronger argument.

Keep. It is an official local government area, and we routinely keep those even when, as in this case, they’re new (2010) and somewhat obscure. Not speaking Bahasa Indonesia is a hindrance with this but I did find a scholarly paper entitled “INTERNATIONAL SCALE INTEGRATED THEMATIC TOURISM DESTINATION DESIGN, KOKAS DISTRICT AND ARGUNI DISTRICT IN FAKFAK DISTRICT” , multiple references to it in this article, some coverage in thus study and will add other sources if I find them.

Article is cited almost entirely to non-independent sources; mainly to theaters employing the subject. Not clear the subject passes WP:SIGCOV. Additionally, the roles currently listed in the article are all insignificant comprimario parts. We need to see better more significant roles, and those roles covered in independent sources, to pass WP:NACTRESS and WP:GNG. 4meter4 (talk) 00:45, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Given the subject's roles and the ensembles they've performed in c6 of wp:Musicbio might apply in which case WP:SIGCOV may exist. Therefore, I would explore WP:AFT before taking a position.𝔓^420°𝔓^Holla 08:46, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think AFT has any relevance to this AFD. Additionally, the roles currently listed in the article are all tiny comprimario parts with no substantial singing (ie zero arias). To me, this does not meet the WP:SNG notability criteria at either WP:MUSICBIO or WP:NACTRESS.4meter4 (talk) 23:34, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting, we need more participants here. I'm not sure what WP:AFT has to do with this discussion.

Delete - Could not find anything that tells me this attorney is still active. This attorney has a very lengthy 2011 internet page about himself - personal background listings that have not much to do with being an attorney. The kind of person a town would be proud to have. But his legal "Experience" section is very scant and doesn't tell us much except others he previously worked for or with. An internet search doesn't bring up anything more recent. — Maile (talk) 01:27, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Mass is still active (the fellow's not yet fifty), and is a political figure in the rural county in which I lived for several years. Further, the article used to be a lot more extensive before rampant page blanking by anon IPs. With that, I doubt many people beyond the city limits of Greenfield, Massachusetts have heard of him, nor that he could meet the GNG. Ravenswing 13:05, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People in politics aren't "inherently" notable just for existing, so the article's current form is obviously deeply inadequate if it just says that he exists and fails to even specify what political position he ever actually held in the first place — Ravenswing is correct that it's been longer in the past, but that history has him serving only at the municipal and county levels, which is not a free notability pass in the absence of much, much more reliable source coverage about the impact of that work than the article has ever shown. So there's no prior version of this that could be reverted to as a solution, because nothing that was ever in the article before satisfies the requirements of WP:NPOL either. Bearcat (talk) 14:37, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Correct. I did check old versions WP:BEFORE nominating, as this is obviously a gutted article. I also concluded there was no value in restoring any older versions, and the gutted version actualy portrays the subject in his most favorable light. JFHJr (㊟) 23:44, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
