Fails WP:POLOUTCOMES. While deep biographical information is contained in RS, WP:POLOUTCOMES establishes that merely being a political candidate does not confer notability unless some other significant criteria is met. Being a local county deputy prosecutor does not meet WP:GNG. Her "controversial comments about women" appears to have only gained traction in a neighborhood weekly newspaper and also don't rise to GNG. DarjeelingTea ( talk) 23:45, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I appreciate your concern about the Manka Dhingra article, and there are areas that need improvements (See edits). The Manka Dhingra page meets notability criteria because of the nature of the race she is involved in. The special election she is running in is going to be the most expensive race in Washington state this year. In 2014, the 45th district state senate race cost more than $3 million, which is more expensive than many congressional campaigns across the country. [1]. Additionally, more than 50,000 people voted in the 2014 election for this state senate seat. [2] Lastly, the seat Manka Dhingra is looking to fill also will determine the balance of power in the Washington State Senate. I recommend that this page should not be deleted.

WASkier - thanks for providing such a thorough explanation and rationale. I'm still somewhat on the fence as this is still just a local legislative race, regardless of how much money it's expected might be spent on it. That said, if there's even a modicum of support for Keep from other editors, I'll withdraw my nomination. DarjeelingTea ( talk) 01:46, 23 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. This is completely unsourced, and somewhat random. Who determines what is a "major social media page"? Why only association football when the title is the generic "football"? And why not include all sports? The range increases by a factor of two (above 500,000 to above 1,000,000), then increases by a factor of five (to 5,000,000), then increases by a factor of two (10,000,000), then increases by a factor of five (above 50,000,000) - why?

Appears to fail WP:GNG per only WP:ROUTINE sources. Drastically fails minimum standards of WP:NHOCKEY by way of low level leagues. Yosemiter ( talk) 23:15, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • @ 18abruce: It's a fair question and one I considered before nominating. I think that he would need to meet GNG first in this regard. I searched for articles in regards to "Bryan Pitton", "Bryan Pitton Stockton Thunder", and "Bryan Pitton Oilers" (and variations of the event in question). None of the articles I found were more than mere mentions or routine coverage regarding the event, so it seems that appearing as a backup does not generate significant coverage. (At least in this case. There are several emergency backup call-ups that do generate coverage, but it usually due to oddity of person called up, a goalie coach, equipment manager, local semi-pro, etc.) Yosemiter ( talk) 21:16, 26 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Well said Yosemiter. Additionally I would say that the article has tried to falsely boost his standing by making claims of notoriety (" first-ever player in Thunder history to earn a direct recall to the NHL") citing a source that has basic information wrong, and does not back up the claim. 18abruce ( talk) 10:38, 27 February 2017 (UTC) reply

^Keep - I believe that the article should be kept and expanded. Notability of a military person does not solely rely on the fact that the person may have been awarded the Medal of Honor or that said person was a General. There are other factors which may indicate that the person is or was notable. According to my understanding, Haney is featured in several books for his role in World War II and actor Gary Sweet portrayed him in the HBO miniseries The Pacific. I may be wrong but, I think that he must have been notable for such recognition's. Tony the Marine ( talk) 20:33, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment - It should also be noted that the military notability guidelines is actually an esssay of opinions and not policy. The same essay states the following:

It is important to note that a person who does not meet the criteria mention above is not necessarily non-notable; ultimately, this determination must be made based on the availability of significant coverage in independent, secondary sources.

Tony the Marine ( talk) 22:37, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. NCO with a single third-level gallantry decoration. No reason whatsoever to keep per WP:SOLDIER, which although an essay is an accepted notability standard for military biographical articles. How many millions of NCOs with gallantry decorations are there? Why is he especially notable? Being portrayed onscreen is not an indicator of notability unless as a central character. Neither is being mentioned in books unless a significant book is specifically about him. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 13:59, 15 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep - I've added some details from two articles from 1944 from the Arkansas Gazette digitized by genealogy bank (which doesn't have a clippings function). One of the articles (the October 17, 1944 one) is about five inches entirely about Haney, the other is about a few different soldiers and gives Haney one paragraph, about two inches. I've also added two articles which give Haney passing mention. The 1944 articles give weak support for notability, as does his being a significant character in Sledge 2007 and receiving the third highest award for valor. Google books also has more books which talk about him under search terms, "Elmo Haney" and "Pop Haney", which gives more support for notability. With all this in mind, I think he satisfies notability, as while the Sledge isn't completely independent, nor completely secondary (and 1944 Arkansas newspaper articles may also not be completely independent and secondary), I think the total body of sources and depth do pass the spirit of notability (ie WP:WHYN). Smmurphy( Talk) 22:07, 15 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - he is notable not for any specific aspect or event, but rather for sum of factors. With the Old Breed, a book recognized as one of the best first-hand accounts of combat during WWII, covers Pop Haney and his role in some of the pivotal battles. He is noted as someone who influenced the Marines who fought in these battle. Semper Fi! FieldMarine ( talk) 13:21, 17 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Instructor of Kapu Kuialua (Hawaiian martial art). Article is promotional in nature, and uses references which don't actually mention the person (except one, which is his own website). - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 20:02, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

RESPONSE:
According to Mike Rosoft, "Article is prootional <sic> in nature, and uses references which don't actually mention the person (except one, which is his own website)."
The references were made to support statements about Olohe Solomon Kaihewalu and lua itself as a martial art. The reference to Olohe's website is to support the directly quoted material by the subject of the article. If I cannot source articles about martial arts then how in the world am I to tell this story. I challenge Mr. Rosoft to tell me where this is promotional - specifically - because it's obvious he didn't read the article carefully.
Marksevi ( talk) 22:03, 14 February 2017 (UTC)Mark Sevi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marksevi ( talkcontribs) reply
The very first sentence states "Õlohe Solomon Kaihewalu is the chief instructor of Lua Hâlau O Kaihewalu, a Hawaiian martial art that has been passed from family to family for generations". Lua is a type of martial art, you cannot have a person be a chief instructor of an entire martial art. It's pretty obvious that some sort of promotional text was cut from it.
In the last section, it states "Today, Olohe’s lua teachings are disseminated to men, women and children who seek a way of self-defense that reflects both the man-made and natural world in the spirit of the Hawaiian nation." which is definitely not a neutral pov.
I'm going to have to go with Delete if the article doesn't become encyclopedic. Gamebuster19901 (TalkContributions) 20:40, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply
[edit conflict] It is fairly obvious that the article consists of the martial artist narrating about himself. (A part of the article has been copied, with slight rephrasing, from his own website.) It calls him "chief instructor" with no source for such a title. (Exactly what does "chief instructor" mean anyway? The article could simply say "instructor".) It goes into detail about the martial art itself, which is largely off-topic. (We already have the article Kapu Kuialua.) It stresses how his public teaching of the art was opposed by traditional Hawaiians, which probably isn't specific to Mr. Kaihewalu. It uses references which don't mention him anywhere. (Of the five references, only two actually mention him, one of them is his own website, and the other - [2] - is probably sourced to it.) It constantly calls him "Olohe" (which is a honorific akin to "Sensei" - instead, the article should refer to him by name, perhaps use the honorific at the first mention).

See the inclusion (notability) guidelines for people; coverage in reliable third-party sources is the primary criterion. See also the policy of neutrality. - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 21:00, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - I've added some new coverage, and the promotional content could be cut out or fixed up pretty easily. He is considered a Grandmaster equivalent in the martial arts world ( [3], has been recognized for his career ( [4]), and has been covered as notable to his field in Black Belt (big article here, shorter mentions scattered about google). Yvarta ( talk) 22:16, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

RESPONSE TO ONE POINT MADE BY SOMEONE:

CLAIM: "The very first sentence states "Õlohe Solomon Kaihewalu is the chief instructor of Lua Hâlau O Kaihewalu, a Hawaiian martial art that has been passed from family to family for generations". Lua is a type of martial art, you cannot have a person be a chief instructor of an entire martial art."

RESPONSE: Note that the martial art is lua but the particular martial art mentioned is Solomon Kaihewalu's family's version. The article is not claiming he is chief instructor of the entire martial art of lua, just his family's version which is recognized by martial artists.

I'm sorry, but these old eyes of mine don't see his name on the list of 2009 inductees. Even if he was on that list, martial arts halls of fame have never been considered sufficient to show notability. Do you have some other significant independent coverage of him? That still seems to be the sticking point. Papaursa ( talk) 22:46, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply
Well, if we're not feeling deletionist this morning, GNG doesn't clarify how many references are needed to pass (could be just one) - and since the Black Belt coverage is fantastic and deep on its own, we could choose to keep the page on that regard alone. Also, it meets the first "keep" criteria of the supplemental notability guidelines for martial artists:
1) Subject of an independent article/documentary: Sole or majority subject in the media, either a news article or a TV program
I don't think deleting the page would improve Wikipedia, especially since it arguably can pass the notability guidelines per GNG and the rule above. Yvarta ( talk) 23:13, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply
It was a typo - he is in the 2007 listing, with his name spelled "Sol Kaihewalu". - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 12:46, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Delete I don't believe a single source is sufficient to meet WP:GNG and I think that's why the GNG says, in multiple locations, "sources". Heading/teaching his family's martial art is not enough to show notability nor is being in a martial art hall of fame and rank has never been considered enough. I've been waiting for additional sources, but none seem forthcoming. My own search didn't turn up any other significant independent sources on him. Papaursa ( talk) 20:24, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete After looking at the references, my analysis is same as User:Papaursa. The Black Belt source is not sufficient by itself for GNG. Given that the magazine is dedicated to martial arts, it is expected that it will provide more coverage. I do not see any evidence that the world at large has noticed the subject. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 17:09, 28 February 2017 (UTC) reply

The article seems to rely heavily for its existence on the fact that it had lots of famous members, in violation of WP:INHERITORG. There is no indication that the expeditions to Everest and Kangchenjunga, which dominate the article, were in any way associated with the club other than the fact that they involved people who were, or had been, members of the club.

If the expeditions with no explicit link to the club are removed, this would leave only more general statements near the start and end of the article, which although potentially more promising for establishing the club's notability in its own right, are not sourced. Namely:

The club has taken a significant part in the development of mountaineering in the United Kingdom

and

The OUMC also has a long history of exploratory mountaineering in the greater ranges, with expeditions having visited and made first ascents of peaks in Greenland, Spitsbergen, Peru, Wakhan, Kishtwar, the Karakoram and the Himalayas, among others.

A big problem here is that despite the long list of destinations, no specific details of expeditions are provided that would be of assistance in finding sources (who? when? which peaks?). Template messages regarding the sourcing and notability issues were added four years ago, and there have been no substantive edits since. Money money tickle parsnip ( talk) 19:34, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

I have now found a mention in a paragraph here which speaks of the club in high terms, but only in passing. I could not find media coverage which really concentrates on the club. The only other media sources I can see are references to the death in 2008 of a former club president, with no indication either that the club was involved (she had left the university) or that she was famous (other than for the fact that she died in a tragic accident, and in any case WP:INHERITORG would still apply). -- Money money tickle parsnip ( talk) 19:54, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - the club's history isn't really my bag, but it's a famous and old club; it's mentioned in any number of books; and its leading figures were distinguished in climbing many famous mountains. As for inheritance, how about we say "nonsense": a club is composed of its members, and if they did great things, that's the club for you. I should have thought it an obvious keep as a notable organisation. I've added a few citations; there are many more available. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 21:34, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • It would still be wholly inappropriate to have the same article covering totally unrelated districts from different elections, which just happen to share the same number, as in the current case. If there's interest in developing these articles, your alternative solution (including dedicated discussions on the constituency maps for each election) would be preferable. Merging these two articles there would result in a woefully incomplete article discussing only 2 out of 500 districts though (which is why I suggested just merging into the main election article). -- Paul_012 ( talk) 07:41, 27 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Unless something has been shown on WP:RSN to the contrary, The Hindu and Deccan Herald are WP:RS, and both have covered. Passes WP:GNG.

Blind trust has nothing to do with it. If there is a problem with those particular sources, then there needs to be some evidence beyond bland generalizations. "Obvious covert advertising" is such a generalization. Is there any evidence that these particular articles were not subject to editorial judgment and review? If not, then they are still WP:RS. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 14:53, 15 February 2017 (UTC) reply
Both Deccan Herald and the Hindu have been known to run paid articles in the past without disclosing it.

I agree with Jéské Couriano that we can't blindly trust Indian media. This report published by The World Economic Forum listed Indian media as the most untrusted institution after Australia and as per my experiance I notice some journalists don't do their own research they write what they saw on Wikipedia and many of them happily act as PR agents for anyone who claims to be a star.

These are, again, generalizations. Unless some editor has evidence that these sources on this article are paid PR, then bandying about generalizations about poor journalistic practices has no utility to the discussion. Unless you are saying that all Indian media are not WP:RS, in which case, there really needs to be a community discussion at WP:RSN to establish that premise. Until that premise is established or that particularized evidence is produced, however, this passes WP:GNG. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 14:41, 23 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I believe that for major scheduled sports championships in the coming year like this, or Super Bowl LII, or closer to home, 105th Grey Cup, we generally default to keep. If you're basing this on CRYSTAL, it states: "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." This is certain to take place. And a major NCAA football championship at a major venue like this is notable. To be sure, that notability isn't currently supported by references in this case, but to delete this bare bones article only means recreating it later, and there is already pertinent info on the venue and date, etc. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 18:34, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

I was a little troubled on seeing this inserted as a See Also to an article linking the Sweden riots to Trump's comments and not entirely surprised to see the article was written in the last 24 hours.
I rewrote a draft and substantially expanding the article with careful attention to tone, editorial voice, and attribution, but the process of doing that seems to have shown that this is a new idea related largely to a Swedish government PR campaign, a paper issuing from that PR campaign, and a few editorials and op-eds. Two apparent citations to scholarly books are actually just reprints of a New York Times Magazine article by Paul Krugman. A history and political science professor named Carl Markund seems to be the leading proponent of the view, having coined the term himself in a paper in what appears to be a sociology or cultural anthropology journal. There is also one Henrik Selin, a Swedish bureaucrat who seems to be in charge of spreading this message.
There are a couple of actual (alleged) historical instances of the phenomenon referenced by these spokesmen—Eisenhower pointing to supposedly lax Swedes to attack JFK while campaigning for President, and a Swedish author's complaints about Swedish taxes gaining audience in the New York Times, with an actual impact on Swedish the tax policy of that era reported in her LA Times obituary, and links to a supposedly stunning political defeat of a leftist Swede party as a result of the ensuing tax debate, although it's not clear whether the American attention to the debate played a role in the political outcome.
There is also evidence cited by one of the proponents that the Swedish government disagreed with some international commentary about Swedish economic and social policy going back to the 1980s. However I'm not sure the sources so far establish this as a distinct and noteworthy phenomenon beyond the aforementioned recent op-eds and PR campaign.
When I think "bashing" the first thing I think of is gay bashing and that's a very well-known idea. Similarly in terms of allegedly unfair portrayals of one country by another, naturally I think of Anti-Americanism, Anglophobia and Francophobia, but I think those concepts are inarguably far better established than what we've seen so far at this article. So I'm sort of on the fence about this but it seems a bit dubious.
I've attached my draft which has much better prose and reference formatting and may aid the discussion. Note, User:Oceanflynn comments extensively about supposed implications of this article but I'm not sure what to make of any of it and I don't think I see sources presented.

Expand to see a much clearer draft

"Sweden bashing" refers to a perception among some observers that Sweden is subjected to unfair criticism by non-Swedes that is either motivated by a desire for increased standing in their own home countries, or intended to influence Swedish government policies or social institutions.

An article published by Radio Sweden said that negative reports about Sweden in foreign news media increased after Sweden accepted an unusually large number of refugees in 2015. [1] Henrik Selin, intercultural communications head of a Swedish government agency devoted to promoting Sweden abroad, said that much of the reporting was factual and true, reflecting legitimate concerns about the ability of Sweden and Europe to absorb so many refugees at once. [1] However, he also said that others appeared to have a poitical agenda suggesting they would like to paint a picture of countries being unable to absorb so many refugees; "There are countries who'd like Sweden to be an element in their story about a failed state," Selin added. [1]In 2016, the Swedish Foreign Ministry issued a paper stating that Sweden bashing "is used as a way to strengthen the actor's or the disinformant's own, often domestic, purposes." [1]The paper cited examples including an allegedly false claim by a former prime minister of Poland, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, that 54 areas in Sweden are ruled by Sharia laws and that Swedish police were unable to do anything about it. [1]

In an editorial published in the daily newspaper Sydsvenskan, Joakim Palmkvist and Olle Lonnaeus speculated that complaints by some Israeli critics of Swedish press freedoms might be motivated by a desire by the critics to gain domestic support, to pressure Sweden as chairman of the European Union in advance of coming peace talks on the Palestinian conflict, or even to prompt a press crackdown by the Swedish government. [2]

In a 2002 opinion article in New York Times Magazine, progressive economist Paul Krugman argued that American conservatives attacked Swedish welfare policies as part of an effort to spread a misguided view that redistribution of wealth to poorer citizens promotes economic inefficiency. [3]

The independent liberal daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter published an op-ed by Carl Markund, a history professor at Södertörn University, arguing that Sweden bashing dates back to the 1950s, when, according to Markund, American journalists spread false reports of Swedish moral corruption,such as high rates of suicide, alcoholism and divorce, some of which were later allegedly used by Dwight Eisenhower in his presidential campaign against John F. Kennedy. [4] According to Markund, the trend accelerated in the 1970s and 80s, with Time Magazine writing of Sweden's "surreal socialism". [4] During the 1980s, the Swedish Foreign Ministry began to refer to such foreign criticism as "1984 reports" in an effort to draw comparison to the dystopian society depicted in the novel 1984 by George Orwell. [4] Markund also referred [4] to New York Times' republication of a satirical piece from the Swedish tabloid Expressen by Swedish children's novelist and screenwriter Astrid Lindgren, complaining about high tax rates in Sweden. [4]The publication of Lindgren's satire, "Pomperipossa in the World Of Money" led to a fierce debate over Swedish tax policy and a lowering of tax rates. [5]

  • Fact checkingUnverified assertions abound. For example, the 2nd section begins with this unsourced sentence: "In the 1950s US journalists described the "Swedish sin" as a problem in the Cold War and came with false statements about alcoholism, suicide rate and divorce rate." I had never heard the phrase "Swedish sin", but the assertion seemed easy to check. I ran "Swedish sin" through a proquest news search by decade. 40s, 50s. 60s, 70s. 80s. Got fals hits (random juxtapositons of the 2 words) but finally got a real use. (Sweden is fighting pornography The Globe and Mail; Toronto, Ont. [Toronto, Ont] 04 June 1981: T.2. [17]) - Okay, it's a Canadian paper, but Toronto is not all that far over the border.) Here's what it said: "Although Swedish sin had been an expression abroad since screen actress Ulla Jacobsson gained international attention with her naked bosom in the film One Summer of Happiness in 1951, the Swedes were a little taken aback by the effects of legal pornography in their own country. The sex clubs mushroomed and became breeding grounds for prostitution, narcotics crimes, tax evasion, Anders Nelin, police commissioner and..." I guess "Swedish sin" really was in some use in North America, but this assertions that this caused problems is coming from Swedish politicians and officials in this article, and my search certainly failed to find use by journalists during the Cold War. (it produced exactly 2 hits for 1950 - 1959: The first was about a "swedish sin-gles" Player with a line break in Newsday; the 2nd was in the Los Angeles Times A14, Mar 15, 1956. A full page of classifed ads. The phrase was probably in there somewhere.) In other words, the fact form the page that I checked is an Alternative fact.

From the article where it says
Redan under 1950-talet beskrev amerikanska journalister ”den svenska synden” som problematisk ur ett kalla kriget-moraliskt perspektiv, följt av – falska – larmrapporter om svenskarnas höga alkoholism, självmordstal och skilsmässofrekvens som till och med letade sig in i president Eisenhowers valkampanj mot John F Kennedy 1960.
translated:
Already in the 1950s, American journalists described the "the Swedish sin" as problematic from a Cold War-moral perspective, followed by the - false - alarm reports of Swedes high alcoholism, suicide rates and divorce rates, which even found its way into President Eisenhower's election campaign against John F. Kennedy in 1960.

This is an article on a FA Cup match which saw Lincoln City become the first non-league team to advance to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup in over 100 years. This is a significant accomplishment for the team, but does not mean the game itself meets WP:SPORTSEVENT. The current article is mostly a list of the previous matches leading to the event, all sourced to BBC match reports. I do not see anything at the moment that merits a standalone article versus integrating this content into other articles such as Lincoln City F.C. and 2016-17 FA Cup.

I initially declined speedy deletion and redirected the article to a section of Lincoln City F.C. Since then two editors (who I have notified of this AfD listing) have gone back and forth between restoring the article and re-redirecting it. I bring the article here to gain consensus. I personally favor Redirect to a section of Lincoln City F.C. Grondemar 15:32, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Norwich City 0–1 Luton Town (2013) and Hereford United 2–1 Newcastle United as examples. Furthermore, there is sufficient sourcing to fulfill GNG and actually has received coverage beyond the routine coverage to fulfill SPORTSEVENT. The C of E God Save the Queen! ( talk) 21:31, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
    • Those articles set no precedent whatsoever. Their notability was established for their individual cases, and their cases only. And has it really received sufficient independent coverage? There may be news reports about this match, but no more than any other match this season. What we're looking for is evidence that this match will be remembered as notable for years to come, not just as a flash in the pan for 2017. – Pee Jay 23:02, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
      • Beyond the fact that it has been covered internationally in sources in the article from New Zealand, India and the Republic of Ireland? Which pursuant to SPORTSEVENT clearly states "outside routine coverage of each game", clearly foreign sources aren't going to be interested in Millwall-Leicester for example but when a non-league team makes history and knocks out a PL team in the process then they take notice and cover it which they wouldn't have otherwise done.

  • Delete. No evidence of lasting notability. To refer to the two examples given by The C of E above, Hereford v Newcastle clearly has lasting notability because it is still referred to as the cup shock par excellence, along with maybe Sutton v Coventry in the late 1980s. Norwich v Luton, on the other hand, was kind of a big deal at the time but I doubt anybody has talked about it since the immediate aftermath. The reason for this is that the FA Cup simply isn't as important a tournament as it once was. Up until the late 1980s, it was arguably more prestigious than the league championship because it meant big crowds, playing at Wembley and having games televised, all of which were unusual for even the bigger clubs. Nowadays it is more of an irritant to the Premier League clubs, who hardly ever play their full strength team in a domestic cup match. Therefore the bar for "notable FA Cup match" is a lot higher nowadays, I think. Jmorrison230582 ( talk) 08:58, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to a suitable section of Lincoln City F.C., or to a season article, if and when anyone writes one. There's been enough coverage of Lincoln's cup run as a whole to take it above the routine, meaning a season article would be notable (which at the fifth tier of English football, it normally wouldn't be). And that'd be the ideal place to cover the latest match. It's way too soon to tell whether this match will have significant enduring notability. The Hereford and Sutton matches have, I don't think the Luton one does.

    The C of E is mistaken that foreign sources aren't going to be interested in Millwall v Leicester: the New Zealand site that ran the Reuters report cited in the article also carried a Reuters report of pretty much the same size and (lack of) depth on the Millwall-Leicester match. The media both domestic and foreign are bound to be interested news-wise in a non-league team beating a Premier League team and thereby reaching the quarter-final for the first time in modern times, but that's how news reporting works. WP:SPORTSEVENT requires out-of-the-ordinary coverage, as the examples clearly illustrate: this match hasn't had it. cheers, Struway2 ( talk) 16:04, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • That is out of the ordinary. Would a country half way around the world cover it had the result been reversed? Unlikely. The fact they have done it to cover one match in a minority sport (which it is in NZ at least, where rugby is king) shows there is more than ordinary coverage going on here. And the Millwall one is more about hooliganism than the match. The C of E God Save the Queen! ( talk) 16:36, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • "Would a country half way around the world cover it had the result been reversed?" Arsenal v Sutton, and not a pie in sight.

The article is mostly about the murder of her ex-husband not about her. The coverage of the murder appears to be routine coverage of a murder not one that should be covered in an encyclopedia article. Other than her connection to this murder, there is nothing significant about her.

  • Redirect to Dan Markel. Delete. This person is not notable for anything other than being (or having been) a possible suspect in a murder case, and we don't have articles based only on speculation or suspicion. As in the related article on her brother (which I nominated for deletion after G10 was declined), almost all the content is copied from the Dan Markel article without regard for its relevance here; and the remainder is in large part speculation and suggestion. At the least, it seems to be a coatrack to hang another copy of the Markel page on; at worst, it exists only to smear or disparage the subject.

The page was previously created under the title Nergisşah Sultan. As the original article didn't have any important material Nergisşah Sultan was redirected to Şehzade Mustafa. In July 2016, User:Mehdi.dof1 created the article again. The article doesn't make it clear why this person is notable and her name is even self-made as the only source that has a list of Mustafa's children doesn't mention the name for his elder daughter. About two-third of the article only explains the struggles between her father and his stepmother, sister, and brother-in-law. The other parts also explain how her sister got married and what her mother's ethnicity was. The subject is clearly not notable at all, and the article should probably either be deleted or redirected to Şehzade Mustafa. Keivan.f Talk 13:03, 15 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Nergissah is mentioned on page 50 and 300 of Pierce 1993, and on page 300 it says that she was well educated and gave a funeral oration for Mustafa, based on the writings of Giovanni Maria Angiolello. Lyber (Lybyer, Albert H. "Mohammed the Conqueror." The Slavonic and East European Review 15, no. 45 (1937): 639-648.) on page 640 says that Nerzisdad was married to the eldest son of Prince Bayazid (Bayezid in the article, I guess), who was heir apparent and was assigned governor of Amasia (not sure if that is the same as Anatollia and I'm not sure if the who being referred is Bayazid or his son). Some other names used include: "Negishade" OR "Nerzisdad" OR "Negursalde" OR "Nergis-sah" OR "Nergisşah" (see the snippet at: https://books.google.com/books?id=7UzVAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22negishade%22). I don't find much more and given the incoherence of the article, my inability to interpret references based in Angiolello's writing, and the fact that I am not familiar enough with Ottoman court politics to know whether a figure like this is likely to be notable, I can't really !vote keep. Smmurphy( Talk) 21:30, 20 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • @ Smmurphy Hi and thanks for introducing a few reliable sources. But could you be more specific, please? Because I want to know whether she was a notable figure or not. Obviously she was the daughter of a prince and a granddaughter of a sultan, and probably was also married to her uncle's son. (?) (As long as I know Bayezid, son of Suleiman and Hurrem, was the governor of Amasya for a period of time; although I'm not sure the sentence refers to which Bayezid as I haven't read what the source says). So if there's enough biographical information about her life that proves she was a notable person, then I hold no prejudice to the article being rewritten and done with reliable sources. Keivan.f Talk 02:51, 21 February 2017 (UTC) reply
I'm neutral for her, especially compared to some of the other consorts you've nominated. I added my research to this page so that if anyone else wants, they can look at it and see if they can find more. Also, if the article is not deleted, the material could be added. My opinion is that she is notable, but I'm not sure that the evidence I've found meets the level of notability suggested by wikipedia policy. Sorry for the non-answer answer.

Invented of not, you are right about Peirce. Thus the citation to Peirce, which I did not add, seems to be unjustified.

  • Keep Hmmm, I'm not really seeing a problem with the sources. They look like credibly reliable Romanian language sources (especially the Forbes piece - getting an article all about him in Forbes is a very strong indicator that he is of some significance) and seem to demonstrate that he is sufficently notable as a long-established businessman in his country. Looking up Ziarul Financiar, it sounds like the Romanian equivalent of The Financial Times, which would make me inclined to think it is a reliable source too. It certainly doesn't sound like a tabloid rag. Most of the sources I am finding for him are from Romanian financial/business newspapers, indicating that he is notable in Romania, and that makes him perfectly valid enough to have an English article. The main problem with the article is its tone and language, which is not really as neutral as one would like, but I don't see a really valid reasons for deletion. All it needs is some editing for tone. Mabalu ( talk) 15:44, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - I am the creator of this article, but I find him very notable in the industry of fashion in Romania, and is also a millionaire. I am not sure he is the first king of garment, but he is nicknamed the "King of Garment" and has an experience in Romania of several decades. He is also an exporter. His brand Seroussi is fighting for the top of Romania in terms of men's suites, alongside famous Bigotti - even on European level. Pretty much every mall has his shops. Moreover, he was in Top 500 Forbes of Romania and in Top 500 Capital. He also appears in Ziarul Financiar. Ziarul Financiar & Capital are top 3 largest publications of economy in Romania. They also have non-online editions. Seroussi started many years ago to export a lot too, and his fortune reached 100 million euros (or more) at some moment.

Does not appear to meet WP:BASIC which calls for "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources". WP:MUSICBIO also calls for "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician". While these ( [24], [25], [26], [27]) are secondary sources, they are stubby biographical pulp in music magazines. No significant musical contributions, no charted songs, and no awards.

Basically this is viral advertising for the subject's book. There is no online information on him other than in the couple of barely good enough articles which comment on the lack of information out there about him. Clever promotion, but not really Wikipedia worthy yet, his book might be if it actually does get coverage out of this but the book does not seem to pass notability either, I'm not seeing many (if any) independent reviews or coverage.

Mostly because the choice of subsections and authenticity evaluation constitutes original research. I also find the authenticity statements to be less accurate when a hadith article refers to multiple narrations, with each narration most likely having its own evaluation (e.g., Hadith of the two weighty things mentions no less than 10 narrations).

There is also some needless repetition, which is a good indicator that a list format may not be suitable. As an alternative to this article, I think we should have a category for the "Hadith of" articles. This should help with the navigation. Another option is to reduce this article to a list of links and delete any hadith article that fails notability. Wiqi( 55) 09:13, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. For me, the only reason to keep navigational lists over categories is that list entries can be sorted and annotated according to specific needs. Considering the sheer amount of alternative views on each report, such sorting/annotating would become unmanagable and is likely going to include a lot of WP:OR/ WP:SYNTH.

===Consensus===

Consensus is formed through the careful consideration, dissection and eventual synthesis of different perspectives presented during the discussion, and is not calculated solely by number of votes.

Outcomes should reflect the rough consensus reached in the deletion discussion and community consensus on a wider scale. (While consensus can change, consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale.)

  • Question for nominator. A few days ago, the nominator stated that they had checked for sources and declared "there aren't any". Perhaps the nominator will be kind enough to tell us what checks were done, and also the extent to which those checks included non-English and non-Internet sources. In the meantime, I'll simply note that the Wikipedia community has long accepted the presumed existence of sources for persons who have engaged in competition at the highest level of their fields. Thus, we do not demand multiple references for any person who has played baseball at the major-league level, nor for any cricketer who has played at the Test level, nor for any athlete who has competed in the Olympics. In all of these examples (as well as the many others that could also be mentioned), it is sufficient to demonstrate that the person has indeed engaged in structured competition at that highest level. And, that long-accepted standard has been met here. NewYorkActuary ( talk) 21:55, 26 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Clear motivated-efforts advertising because, not only has the article itself been tagged as an advertisement despite clear violations enough to suggest the article's deletion alone (this suggests paid advertising) in it alone; as it is, the article was never genuinely improved, and in fact emphasized its advertising worse when it was unimprovable; take the sources for example: 1 (2 is a clearly labeled self-PR interview) to 12 are all clear entertainment blogs, health guide listings, mere announcements or mentions or quite in between, next, the 12th is her own website, 13 to 19 are all again mere announcements and guides, until once again, 20 being an apparent press release, 21 to 24 are all same, until yet again, 25th is her own own advertised website again; continuing, 26 to 39 are all the same as before. We have our non-negotiable policies against such advertising because it's was founded this encyclopedia as it is, but also, the fact there's the clear attempts at keeping it an advertisement, which violates our simplest policies. In fact, simply take this which shows nothing but the same links as before, but this time actually emphasizing the mere consistency in PR from all available. This article overall is experiencing severe overfocus with such PR, such as beginning with an apparent PR-named mention, but then also the fact the 2 heaviest sections are the ones nearing the "Advert" tag, "Career and Awards", which shows there's nothing substantial here.

Case for Meeting WP:GNG
  • "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
  • "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.
    • I think ABC News, NY Mag, Independent, Atlanta Journal Constitution, and Daily KOS aught to be considered reliable enough. -- Seneca Talk 03:29, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
      • Daily Kos is not a reliable source for our purposes — it's a publication whose content is created by activist bloggers, not by professional journalists. Of the other sources, three of them are just glancing namechecks of Ossoff's existence in an article about a related topic (two are coverage of the race itself, which would be expected to exist because special elections always get coverage, and one is about a film), while the only one that's substantively about Ossoff is in the local media (where, again, deeper coverage of the individual candidates in a local election would be expected to exist.) None of this suggests that he's garnered more than the WP:ROUTINE level of coverage that all candidates in an election at this level of office could always expect to garner. Bearcat ( talk) 15:57, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • "Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
  • "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent.[4]
  • "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.
    • This criteria appears a bit subjective, but at this point it seems reasonable that we have created the "assumption not the guarantee" that Ossoff warrants an separate article. -- Seneca Talk 03:29, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to the election article, without prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins. A person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate in an election they haven't won yet — if they haven't already held a notable office, then they have to be shown and sourced as having already cleared our notability standards for another field of endeavour. Coverage of local elections always exists, so such coverage cannot be used to show GNG — if it could, then we would have to keep an article about everybody who was ever a candidate for anything at all.
    And no, whether a person is favoured or projected to win or lose the election does not boost their notability either, as Wikipedia does not deal in the realm of election predictions — candidates who were "favoured" during the campaign have gone on to lose the election (if "favoured" always necessarily translated to winning, then Hillary Clinton would be sitting in the White House right now), and different sources can make different projections of which candidate is "favoured" during the campaign (see the dispute during the 2012 election over whether Nate Silver's read of the polls as favouring Obama was more or less accurate than Dean Chambers's "unskewing" of the polls as favouring Romney), and the question of who's "favoured" to win the election can have different answers at different times in the campaign (Canada's national election in 2015 started out with the NDP favoured to win and Tom Mulcair favoured to become the new prime minister, but at about the midway point Justin Trudeau's Liberals overtook them in the polls and became the new favoured winner.)
    So, in a nutshell, if he wins the election he'll be entitled to an article and it can be recreated quite quickly. But unless you can demonstrate and source that he was already notable enough for an article before being named as a candidate, then the campaign coverage is not enough in and of itself to make him notable just for being a candidate per se.

  • Keep I added two more sources, he's getting national coverage from respect news outlets and will be receiving more as we get closer to the election. I would suggest it is expected that someone who has not been elected fails to meet WP:NPOL, but suggest he does meet the base requirement of notability in general. Also, of those saying he is only receiving routine coverage because he's a candidate or that only the race is notable, I would ask if you can name the other candidates in this race.
There's a complete list of them in Georgia's 6th congressional district special election, 2017. So no, he's not the only candidate in the race that anybody can identify on the basis of the race's media coverage. Bearcat ( talk) 13:46, 26 February 2017 (UTC) reply
With respect, that's not the point. He's the only candidate in this race who is receiving national coverage in major newspapers and news. -- Nuujinn ( talk) 19:13, 26 February 2017 (UTC) reply
With respect, what you said is "name the other candidates in the race at all", not "measure out how much coverage each candidate in the race is or isn't getting". And at any rate, the basic principle on here is that for a not yet elected candidate to be deemed notable enough for a Wikipedia article because candidate (as opposed to because he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason before being a candidate), the volume of coverage pretty much has to go full-on Christine O'Donnell. It's not enough to show coverage of the race which namechecks the fact that he's a candidate in it but isn't fundamentally about him per se (and mostly doesn't single him out as the only candidate getting his candidacy namechecked, either), and it's not enough that a couple of those articles do single him out for a bit of closer attention than most of the others — it takes evidence that the candidacy itself is making him so much of a household name that people are likely to still be looking for an article about him ten years from now regardless of whether he wins or loses in the end. I live in Canada, for instance, and Christine O'Donnell was getting into our media here — so even up here in beaverland, you can still just say the name "Christine O'Donnell" and Canadians will still know exactly who you're talking about. Ossoff simply hasn't attained that depth of name recognition yet, so as of right now he's still in the "if he wins" class of candidates, and not in the "notable because candidate in and of itself" class yet. Bearcat ( talk) 20:19, 26 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment He clearly now meets criteria #2 of WP:POLITICIAN. His national coverage is significant. Casprings ( talk) 03:27, 28 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Again, a person does not clear GNG on namechecks of his existence in coverage of the election campaign, when both coverage of the election campaign and namechecks of the candidates within it are routinely expected to exist. The coverage needs to demonstrate evidence that he's notable for more than just the fact of being a candidate in and of itself, offering a credible reason why people will still be looking for an article about him ten years from now, before it can make him notable enough for inclusion. The coverage of Ossoff has to explode into Christine O'Donnell territory (which it hasn't done) before Ossoff can be deemed notable because candidate; absent that, it's either "was already notable enough for an article before he became a candidate" or "does not become notable enough for an article until he wins the election". And no, it's not an ideological bias, because the same restriction applies to the Republican candidates too. Bearcat ( talk) 18:25, 28 February 2017 (UTC) reply
NPOL #2 is not met by campaign coverage, except in the rare event that the campaign coverage explodes into Christine O'Donnell proportions. Every candidate for every political office that exists at all could always claim to clear NPOL #2 on the basis that campaign coverage existed — but we do not accept all candidates as notable until they can be shown to have garnered a lot more than the expected volume of coverage, and/or to have passed the ten-year test for enduring significance beyond the current news cycle. Bearcat ( talk) 18:58, 28 February 2017 (UTC) reply
Do you have some policy that says NPOL #2 is not meant for campaign coverage. If so, can you link? Casprings ( talk) 23:43, 28 February 2017 (UTC) reply
WP:POLOUTCOMES, specifically the third bullet point for "Candidates who ran but never were elected for a national legislature are not viewed as having inherent notability." Bearcat ( talk) 00:37, 1 March 2017 (UTC) reply
That is not policy. Says it right at the top. The point I am making is that policy isn't as prescriptive as you are stating. There are some documents meant to help editors, which you linked. But it is false to cite those as deterministic. For this article, given this is the first real test after an odd and historic election, I believe he is WP:N As such, I think it is likely that in 10 years, the public would benefit from articles that provide information concerning him and the national coverage of him (and not just the election), is an important indication of future relavence.

The nominator needs to remember that what we weigh here is notability -- not the current state of an article, except in extreme cases where there is plagiarism, blatant advertising, etc. We have many stubs -- and three months, here, isn't a particularly long time.

  • Keep. Notable coverage in scientific literature. However, not clear that "Tulane virus" is the best title, and although I think WP:SPECIESOUTCOMES should apply to viruses, SPECIESOUTCOMES is premature here. Viruses have an official database ( [32]); recognition there would satisfy SPECIESOUTCOMES, but Tulane virus isn't recognized there yet. The taxonomy is still in flux. "Tulane virus" is a proposed new species in a proposed new genus "Recovirus". As far as I can tell, the terms "Rhesus enteric calicivirus" and "Rhesus macaque recovirus" also refer to "Tulane virus", with none of these names yet satisfying SPECIESOUTCOMES (though they could be used as keywords to search for additional sources).

  • Keep. In addition to SPECIESOUTCOMES, I also found a review, which should solidify any notability concerns for the virus itself as well as give a source to the article. Based on my quick read of the source before bed, Tulane virus is one type of Rhesus enteric calicivirus rather than synonymous terms, so it is possible the page could just be moved to Rhesus enteric calicivirus, have two separate articles, etc without us needing to decide that here alongside the delete question.

RLN is a hard threshold that assumes notability if it is met - therefore required is a perfectly fine turn of phrase.

  • Delete. There are many hits to be found, because she is among other things a professional activist, who takes good care that he work gets published and articles about her get written. We should have a very high index of suspicion in evaluating careers like this " a Nigerian criminal justice psychologist, international speaker, child protection consultant, woman and child right activist, child abuse survivor, advocate for victims of sexual violence" especially when multiple professions are claimed, all coming down to the same thing. DGG ( talk ) 16:00, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • What does this even mean? The claim that we should be suspicious of multiple career hats is not a good argument. I can show you plenty of articles about notable people that list multiple jobs in the lede, because that happens. People sometimes have more than one career or interest, especially if they're activists on their off time. In addition, there is also nothing wrong with being a professional activist or about ensuring that you are seen by the press. The press saw her, among many people, and chose to write/quote her. I'm sure she didn't force them to write about her. None of your arguments refute the fact that she is in multiple reliable sources. You are only attempting to discredit the sources themselves.

  • Weak keep This article makes a claim of notability, namely that she is a fellow in a society recognized on the English Wikipedia as notable. Furthermore, the references, do establish significant coverage. These perquisites being fulfilled means this article passes WP:GNG. Comparatively, a fellow in the Royal Society would be widely considered notable on Wikipedia and it would be bias to put undue weight on recognizing members of one society with established notability over another with likewise established notability. ὦiki-Coffee( talk to me!) ( contributions) 00:10, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
    • Comment. The only claim I can see like that is of being an "Ashoka Fellow". The page describing this program [50] is so buzzword-laden that it's hard to know what to make of it, but it is certainly not the type of "elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association" that WP:PROF#C3 is talking about. It seems to be more of a program for giving grant funding to specific project proposals (something that is certainly not enough by itself for notability) and then giving them a fancy name. There is no violation of UNDUE in recognizing that the Royal Society is a highly selective and prestigious society and this one appears to be a dressed-up foundation and not a society at all. — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:31, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. I can find a dozen or so news stories quoting her, but none with the in-depth coverage about her required of WP:GNG. The Ashoka Fellowship profile could plausibly be taken as one such source, but we need multiple of them. And she definitely does not pass WP:PROF; it's not the right kind of fellowship for that. — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:38, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • @ David Eppstein: This one is a difficult one for me. I have rescinded my speedy keep in favour of a weak keep after trying to edit the article but not finding enough sources to be able to write a great deal. The trouble is that her profile page on that society she is apart states that she worked in various news and radio organizations. Now the challenge here is that due to the country she is in and their limitations on connectivity and such one is presented the issue of if this was a developed country with greater technical advancement that information would have made its way onto the internet and thus made a better case for significant coverage. I am truly stuck on this one because I am honestly convinced there is enough to cover WP:GNG with leniency placed on the requirement for so much coverage based on my aforementioned logic. ὦiki-Coffee( talk to me!)

Article that was previously deleted in 2010 following AfD. The article is about a footballer that has never played in a fully-pro league, although he did play 20 minutes in a single FIFA-recognized friendly international match (which occurred after the original AfD). The article doesn't appear to satisfy the GNG as the coverage is routine (particularly the coverage of the match against Zimbabwe that *might* give him notability), and some of the negative content is only supported by blog postings.

  • Though normally for players who are well past their prime, and are unlikely to ever appear anywhere that meets WP:NFOOTY again. In the case of a 22-year old though, a minimal amount of play is normally enough to create the article. Could always bring it back for deletion in 2030 or so, if nothing else happens. Nfitz ( talk) 14:40, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - Just re-checked WP:NFOOTBALL, which clearly states that "Players who have played in, and managers who have managed in any Tier 1 International Match" are notable. It also states that "For the purposes of this guideline, played means having appeared in a match either in the starting line-up or coming on as a substitute. Therefore, Milanzi is notable enough to warrant a page. Seeing as he is only 22 and on loan from one of the biggest clubs in Africa, having also been called up to the Malawi National Side in 2015, I think it's logical to keep the page as this player could quite possibly make another senior international appearance. Davidlofgren1996 ( talk) 17:44, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
    • I don't dispute Milanzi's appearance in that solitary match (I even added a reference to the article to support it). I do disagree with all of the comments above which suggest NFOOTBALL as a free pass from the general notability guideline. It is a presumption of notability based on our collective experience that articles about senior international footballers are typically able to satisfy the GNG. I don't think that's the case here - although there is some coverage in Malawi and Zimbabwe sources, it is all routine and not significant. I'll gladly withdraw the nomination if it can be shown otherwise. Jogurney ( talk) 18:17, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
      • @ Jogurney: although WP:NFOOTY is sometimes overruled by WP:COMMONSENSE (such as here) I don't believe it applies to this case. Milanzi (the subject in question) has played a fully international match and plays for one of the most well known football clubs on the African contentment. More so he is still relatively young and still playing. WP:COMMONSENSE would suggest that in all likely hood Milanzi will continue to play in some notable games, such as the 2017 CAF Champions League which TP Mazembe will take part in. Inter&anthro ( talk) 19:54, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
        • I understand, but I don't see any sign that this player is likely to figure into TP Mazembe's Champions League plans. There are exactly 3 mentions of him on the club's website (2 involve an injury he sustained in 2011 and 1 involves a loan to a local affiliate club in 2012). It's unclear whether he remains under contract - the most recent source mentioning his association with TP Mazembe was an article from October 2016.

There's quite a lot of media references to this young Malawian player - however the scope of the articles don't quite meet WP:GNG; though I'm seeing a lot more coverage of him, than I do for many a player who plays in a supposedly fully-professional 2nd tier European league.

Fails WP:POLOUTCOMES. While deep biographical information is contained in RS, WP:POLOUTCOMES establishes that merely being a political candidate does not confer notability unless some other significant criteria is met. Being a local county deputy prosecutor does not meet WP:GNG. Her "controversial comments about women" appears to have only gained traction in a neighborhood weekly newspaper and also don't rise to GNG. DarjeelingTea ( talk) 23:45, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I appreciate your concern about the Manka Dhingra article, and there are areas that need improvements (See edits). The Manka Dhingra page meets notability criteria because of the nature of the race she is involved in. The special election she is running in is going to be the most expensive race in Washington state this year. In 2014, the 45th district state senate race cost more than $3 million, which is more expensive than many congressional campaigns across the country. [1]. Additionally, more than 50,000 people voted in the 2014 election for this state senate seat. [2] Lastly, the seat Manka Dhingra is looking to fill also will determine the balance of power in the Washington State Senate. I recommend that this page should not be deleted.

  • @ 18abruce: It's a fair question and one I considered before nominating. I think that he would need to meet GNG first in this regard. I searched for articles in regards to "Bryan Pitton", "Bryan Pitton Stockton Thunder", and "Bryan Pitton Oilers" (and variations of the event in question). None of the articles I found were more than mere mentions or routine coverage regarding the event, so it seems that appearing as a backup does not generate significant coverage. (At least in this case. There are several emergency backup call-ups that do generate coverage, but it usually due to oddity of person called up, a goalie coach, equipment manager, local semi-pro, etc.) Yosemiter ( talk) 21:16, 26 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Delete the article under discussion, i.e. Veteran Pakistani Catholic teachers. It fails WP:LISTN - it shows no sign of having been covered by reliable independent sources. It's also WP:ARBITRARY - why 50 years rather than 49 or 51? (FWIW I don't think rearranging the three adjectives into the five other possible orders would make the topic notable either.)

^Keep - I believe that the article should be kept and expanded. Notability of a military person does not solely rely on the fact that the person may have been awarded the Medal of Honor or that said person was a General. There are other factors which may indicate that the person is or was notable. According to my understanding, Haney is featured in several books for his role in World War II and actor Gary Sweet portrayed him in the HBO miniseries The Pacific. I may be wrong but, I think that he must have been notable for such recognition's. Tony the Marine ( talk) 20:33, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment - It should also be noted that the military notability guidelines is actually an esssay of opinions and not policy. The same essay states the following:

It is important to note that a person who does not meet the criteria mention above is not necessarily non-notable; ultimately, this determination must be made based on the availability of significant coverage in independent, secondary sources.

  • Delete. NCO with a single third-level gallantry decoration. No reason whatsoever to keep per WP:SOLDIER, which although an essay is an accepted notability standard for military biographical articles. How many millions of NCOs with gallantry decorations are there? Why is he especially notable? Being portrayed onscreen is not an indicator of notability unless as a central character. Neither is being mentioned in books unless a significant book is specifically about him. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 13:59, 15 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep - I've added some details from two articles from 1944 from the Arkansas Gazette digitized by genealogy bank (which doesn't have a clippings function). One of the articles (the October 17, 1944 one) is about five inches entirely about Haney, the other is about a few different soldiers and gives Haney one paragraph, about two inches. I've also added two articles which give Haney passing mention. The 1944 articles give weak support for notability, as does his being a significant character in Sledge 2007 and receiving the third highest award for valor. Google books also has more books which talk about him under search terms, "Elmo Haney" and "Pop Haney", which gives more support for notability. With all this in mind, I think he satisfies notability, as while the Sledge isn't completely independent, nor completely secondary (and 1944 Arkansas newspaper articles may also not be completely independent and secondary), I think the total body of sources and depth do pass the spirit of notability (ie WP:WHYN).

  • Keep - he is notable not for any specific aspect or event, but rather for sum of factors.

Instructor of Kapu Kuialua (Hawaiian martial art). Article is promotional in nature, and uses references which don't actually mention the person (except one, which is his own website). - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 20:02, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

RESPONSE:
According to Mike Rosoft, "Article is prootional <sic> in nature, and uses references which don't actually mention the person (except one, which is his own website)."
The references were made to support statements about Olohe Solomon Kaihewalu and lua itself as a martial art. The reference to Olohe's website is to support the directly quoted material by the subject of the article. If I cannot source articles about martial arts then how in the world am I to tell this story. I challenge Mr. Rosoft to tell me where this is promotional - specifically - because it's obvious he didn't read the article carefully.
Marksevi ( talk) 22:03, 14 February 2017 (UTC)Mark Sevi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marksevi ( talkcontribs) reply
The very first sentence states "Õlohe Solomon Kaihewalu is the chief instructor of Lua Hâlau O Kaihewalu, a Hawaiian martial art that has been passed from family to family for generations". Lua is a type of martial art, you cannot have a person be a chief instructor of an entire martial art. It's pretty obvious that some sort of promotional text was cut from it.
In the last section, it states "Today, Olohe’s lua teachings are disseminated to men, women and children who seek a way of self-defense that reflects both the man-made and natural world in the spirit of the Hawaiian nation." which is definitely not a neutral pov.
I'm going to have to go with Delete if the article doesn't become encyclopedic. Gamebuster19901 (TalkContributions) 20:40, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply
[edit conflict] It is fairly obvious that the article consists of the martial artist narrating about himself. (A part of the article has been copied, with slight rephrasing, from his own website.) It calls him "chief instructor" with no source for such a title. (Exactly what does "chief instructor" mean anyway? The article could simply say "instructor".) It goes into detail about the martial art itself, which is largely off-topic. (We already have the article Kapu Kuialua.) It stresses how his public teaching of the art was opposed by traditional Hawaiians, which probably isn't specific to Mr. Kaihewalu. It uses references which don't mention him anywhere. (Of the five references, only two actually mention him, one of them is his own website, and the other - [2] - is probably sourced to it.) It constantly calls him "Olohe" (which is a honorific akin to "Sensei" - instead, the article should refer to him by name, perhaps use the honorific at the first mention).

See the inclusion (notability) guidelines for people; coverage in reliable third-party sources is the primary criterion. See also the policy of neutrality. - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 21:00, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - I've added some new coverage, and the promotional content could be cut out or fixed up pretty easily. He is considered a Grandmaster equivalent in the martial arts world ( [3], has been recognized for his career ( [4]), and has been covered as notable to his field in Black Belt (big article here, shorter mentions scattered about google).

RESPONSE TO ONE POINT MADE BY SOMEONE:

CLAIM: "The very first sentence states "Õlohe Solomon Kaihewalu is the chief instructor of Lua Hâlau O Kaihewalu, a Hawaiian martial art that has been passed from family to family for generations". Lua is a type of martial art, you cannot have a person be a chief instructor of an entire martial art."

RESPONSE: Note that the martial art is lua but the particular martial art mentioned is Solomon Kaihewalu's family's version. The article is not claiming he is chief instructor of the entire martial art of lua, just his family's version which is recognized by martial artists.

I'm sorry, but these old eyes of mine don't see his name on the list of 2009 inductees. Even if he was on that list, martial arts halls of fame have never been considered sufficient to show notability. Do you have some other significant independent coverage of him? That still seems to be the sticking point. Papaursa ( talk) 22:46, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply
Well, if we're not feeling deletionist this morning, GNG doesn't clarify how many references are needed to pass (could be just one) - and since the Black Belt coverage is fantastic and deep on its own, we could choose to keep the page on that regard alone. Also, it meets the first "keep" criteria of the supplemental notability guidelines for martial artists:
1) Subject of an independent article/documentary: Sole or majority subject in the media, either a news article or a TV program
I don't think deleting the page would improve Wikipedia, especially since it arguably can pass the notability guidelines per GNG and the rule above. Yvarta ( talk) 23:13, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply
It was a typo - he is in the 2007 listing, with his name spelled "Sol Kaihewalu". - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 12:46, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Delete I don't believe a single source is sufficient to meet WP:GNG and I think that's why the GNG says, in multiple locations, "sources". Heading/teaching his family's martial art is not enough to show notability nor is being in a martial art hall of fame and rank has never been considered enough. I've been waiting for additional sources, but none seem forthcoming. My own search didn't turn up any other significant independent sources on him. Papaursa ( talk) 20:24, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete After looking at the references, my analysis is same as User:Papaursa. The Black Belt source is not sufficient by itself for GNG. Given that the magazine is dedicated to martial arts, it is expected that it will provide more coverage. I do not see any evidence that the world at large has noticed the subject. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 17:09, 28 February 2017 (UTC) reply

The article seems to rely heavily for its existence on the fact that it had lots of famous members, in violation of WP:INHERITORG. There is no indication that the expeditions to Everest and Kangchenjunga, which dominate the article, were in any way associated with the club other than the fact that they involved people who were, or had been, members of the club.

If the expeditions with no explicit link to the club are removed, this would leave only more general statements near the start and end of the article, which although potentially more promising for establishing the club's notability in its own right, are not sourced. Namely:

The club has taken a significant part in the development of mountaineering in the United Kingdom

and

The OUMC also has a long history of exploratory mountaineering in the greater ranges, with expeditions having visited and made first ascents of peaks in Greenland, Spitsbergen, Peru, Wakhan, Kishtwar, the Karakoram and the Himalayas, among others.

A big problem here is that despite the long list of destinations, no specific details of expeditions are provided that would be of assistance in finding sources (who? when? which peaks?). Template messages regarding the sourcing and notability issues were added four years ago, and there have been no substantive edits since. Money money tickle parsnip ( talk) 19:34, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

I have now found a mention in a paragraph here which speaks of the club in high terms, but only in passing. I could not find media coverage which really concentrates on the club. The only other media sources I can see are references to the death in 2008 of a former club president, with no indication either that the club was involved (she had left the university) or that she was famous (other than for the fact that she died in a tragic accident, and in any case WP:INHERITORG would still apply). -- Money money tickle parsnip ( talk) 19:54, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - the club's history isn't really my bag, but it's a famous and old club; it's mentioned in any number of books; and its leading figures were distinguished in climbing many famous mountains. As for inheritance, how about we say "nonsense": a club is composed of its members, and if they did great things, that's the club for you. I should have thought it an obvious keep as a notable organisation. I've added a few citations; there are many more available. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 21:34, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • It would still be wholly inappropriate to have the same article covering totally unrelated districts from different elections, which just happen to share the same number, as in the current case. If there's interest in developing these articles, your alternative solution (including dedicated discussions on the constituency maps for each election) would be preferable. Merging these two articles there would result in a woefully incomplete article discussing only 2 out of 500 districts though (which is why I suggested just merging into the main election article). -- Paul_012 ( talk) 07:41, 27 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Blind trust has nothing to do with it. If there is a problem with those particular sources, then there needs to be some evidence beyond bland generalizations.

This is certain to take place. And a major NCAA football championship at a major venue like this is notable.

I was a little troubled on seeing this inserted as a See Also to an article linking the Sweden riots to Trump's comments and not entirely surprised to see the article was written in the last 24 hours.
I rewrote a draft and substantially expanding the article with careful attention to tone, editorial voice, and attribution, but the process of doing that seems to have shown that this is a new idea related largely to a Swedish government PR campaign, a paper issuing from that PR campaign, and a few editorials and op-eds. Two apparent citations to scholarly books are actually just reprints of a New York Times Magazine article by Paul Krugman. A history and political science professor named Carl Markund seems to be the leading proponent of the view, having coined the term himself in a paper in what appears to be a sociology or cultural anthropology journal. There is also one Henrik Selin, a Swedish bureaucrat who seems to be in charge of spreading this message.
There are a couple of actual (alleged) historical instances of the phenomenon referenced by these spokesmen—Eisenhower pointing to supposedly lax Swedes to attack JFK while campaigning for President, and a Swedish author's complaints about Swedish taxes gaining audience in the New York Times, with an actual impact on Swedish the tax policy of that era reported in her LA Times obituary, and links to a supposedly stunning political defeat of a leftist Swede party as a result of the ensuing tax debate, although it's not clear whether the American attention to the debate played a role in the political outcome.
There is also evidence cited by one of the proponents that the Swedish government disagreed with some international commentary about Swedish economic and social policy going back to the 1980s. However I'm not sure the sources so far establish this as a distinct and noteworthy phenomenon beyond the aforementioned recent op-eds and PR campaign.
When I think "bashing" the first thing I think of is gay bashing and that's a very well-known idea. Similarly in terms of allegedly unfair portrayals of one country by another, naturally I think of Anti-Americanism, Anglophobia and Francophobia, but I think those concepts are inarguably far better established than what we've seen so far at this article. So I'm sort of on the fence about this but it seems a bit dubious.
I've attached my draft which has much better prose and reference formatting and may aid the discussion. Note, User:Oceanflynn comments extensively about supposed implications of this article but I'm not sure what to make of any of it and I don't think I see sources presented.

Expand to see a much clearer draft

"Sweden bashing" refers to a perception among some observers that Sweden is subjected to unfair criticism by non-Swedes that is either motivated by a desire for increased standing in their own home countries, or intended to influence Swedish government policies or social institutions.

An article published by Radio Sweden said that negative reports about Sweden in foreign news media increased after Sweden accepted an unusually large number of refugees in 2015. [1] Henrik Selin, intercultural communications head of a Swedish government agency devoted to promoting Sweden abroad, said that much of the reporting was factual and true, reflecting legitimate concerns about the ability of Sweden and Europe to absorb so many refugees at once. [1] However, he also said that others appeared to have a poitical agenda suggesting they would like to paint a picture of countries being unable to absorb so many refugees; "There are countries who'd like Sweden to be an element in their story about a failed state," Selin added. [1]In 2016, the Swedish Foreign Ministry issued a paper stating that Sweden bashing "is used as a way to strengthen the actor's or the disinformant's own, often domestic, purposes." [1]The paper cited examples including an allegedly false claim by a former prime minister of Poland, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, that 54 areas in Sweden are ruled by Sharia laws and that Swedish police were unable to do anything about it. [1]

In an editorial published in the daily newspaper Sydsvenskan, Joakim Palmkvist and Olle Lonnaeus speculated that complaints by some Israeli critics of Swedish press freedoms might be motivated by a desire by the critics to gain domestic support, to pressure Sweden as chairman of the European Union in advance of coming peace talks on the Palestinian conflict, or even to prompt a press crackdown by the Swedish government. [2]

In a 2002 opinion article in New York Times Magazine, progressive economist Paul Krugman argued that American conservatives attacked Swedish welfare policies as part of an effort to spread a misguided view that redistribution of wealth to poorer citizens promotes economic inefficiency. [3]

The independent liberal daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter published an op-ed by Carl Markund, a history professor at Södertörn University, arguing that Sweden bashing dates back to the 1950s, when, according to Markund, American journalists spread false reports of Swedish moral corruption,such as high rates of suicide, alcoholism and divorce, some of which were later allegedly used by Dwight Eisenhower in his presidential campaign against John F. Kennedy. [4] According to Markund, the trend accelerated in the 1970s and 80s, with Time Magazine writing of Sweden's "surreal socialism". [4] During the 1980s, the Swedish Foreign Ministry began to refer to such foreign criticism as "1984 reports" in an effort to draw comparison to the dystopian society depicted in the novel 1984 by George Orwell. [4] Markund also referred [4] to New York Times' republication of a satirical piece from the Swedish tabloid Expressen by Swedish children's novelist and screenwriter Astrid Lindgren, complaining about high tax rates in Sweden. [4]The publication of Lindgren's satire, "Pomperipossa in the World Of Money" led to a fierce debate over Swedish tax policy and a lowering of tax rates. [5]

  • Fact checkingUnverified assertions abound. For example, the 2nd section begins with this unsourced sentence: "In the 1950s US journalists described the "Swedish sin" as a problem in the Cold War and came with false statements about alcoholism, suicide rate and divorce rate." I had never heard the phrase "Swedish sin", but the assertion seemed easy to check. I ran "Swedish sin" through a proquest news search by decade. 40s, 50s. 60s, 70s. 80s. Got fals hits (random juxtapositons of the 2 words) but finally got a real use. (Sweden is fighting pornography The Globe and Mail; Toronto, Ont. [Toronto, Ont] 04 June 1981: T.2. [17]) - Okay, it's a Canadian paper, but Toronto is not all that far over the border.) Here's what it said: "Although Swedish sin had been an expression abroad since screen actress Ulla Jacobsson gained international attention with her naked bosom in the film One Summer of Happiness in 1951, the Swedes were a little taken aback by the effects of legal pornography in their own country. The sex clubs mushroomed and became breeding grounds for prostitution, narcotics crimes, tax evasion, Anders Nelin, police commissioner and..." I guess "Swedish sin" really was in some use in North America, but this assertions that this caused problems is coming from Swedish politicians and officials in this article, and my search certainly failed to find use by journalists during the Cold War. (it produced exactly 2 hits for 1950 - 1959: The first was about a "swedish sin-gles" Player with a line break in Newsday; the 2nd was in the Los Angeles Times A14, Mar 15, 1956. A full page of classifed ads. The phrase was probably in there somewhere.) In other words, the fact form the page that I checked is an Alternative fact.

translated:
Already in the 1950s, American journalists described the "the Swedish sin" as problematic from a Cold War-moral perspective, followed by the - false - alarm reports of Swedes high alcoholism, suicide rates and divorce rates, which even found its way into President Eisenhower's election campaign against John F.

This is an article on a FA Cup match which saw Lincoln City become the first non-league team to advance to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup in over 100 years. This is a significant accomplishment for the team, but does not mean the game itself meets WP:SPORTSEVENT. The current article is mostly a list of the previous matches leading to the event, all sourced to BBC match reports. I do not see anything at the moment that merits a standalone article versus integrating this content into other articles such as Lincoln City F.C. and 2016-17 FA Cup.

I initially declined speedy deletion and redirected the article to a section of Lincoln City F.C. Since then two editors (who I have notified of this AfD listing) have gone back and forth between restoring the article and re-redirecting it. I bring the article here to gain consensus.

    • Those articles set no precedent whatsoever. Their notability was established for their individual cases, and their cases only. And has it really received sufficient independent coverage? There may be news reports about this match, but no more than any other match this season.

      • Beyond the fact that it has been covered internationally in sources in the article from New Zealand, India and the Republic of Ireland? Which pursuant to SPORTSEVENT clearly states "outside routine coverage of each game", clearly foreign sources aren't going to be interested in Millwall-Leicester for example but when a non-league team makes history and knocks out a PL team in the process then they take notice and cover it which they wouldn't have otherwise done.

  • Delete. No evidence of lasting notability. To refer to the two examples given by The C of E above, Hereford v Newcastle clearly has lasting notability because it is still referred to as the cup shock par excellence, along with maybe Sutton v Coventry in the late 1980s. Norwich v Luton, on the other hand, was kind of a big deal at the time but I doubt anybody has talked about it since the immediate aftermath. The reason for this is that the FA Cup simply isn't as important a tournament as it once was. Up until the late 1980s, it was arguably more prestigious than the league championship because it meant big crowds, playing at Wembley and having games televised, all of which were unusual for even the bigger clubs. Nowadays it is more of an irritant to the Premier League clubs, who hardly ever play their full strength team in a domestic cup match. Therefore the bar for "notable FA Cup match" is a lot higher nowadays, I think. Jmorrison230582 ( talk) 08:58, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to a suitable section of Lincoln City F.C., or to a season article, if and when anyone writes one. There's been enough coverage of Lincoln's cup run as a whole to take it above the routine, meaning a season article would be notable (which at the fifth tier of English football, it normally wouldn't be). And that'd be the ideal place to cover the latest match. It's way too soon to tell whether this match will have significant enduring notability. The Hereford and Sutton matches have, I don't think the Luton one does.

    The C of E is mistaken that foreign sources aren't going to be interested in Millwall v Leicester: the New Zealand site that ran the Reuters report cited in the article also carried a Reuters report of pretty much the same size and (lack of) depth on the Millwall-Leicester match. The media both domestic and foreign are bound to be interested news-wise in a non-league team beating a Premier League team and thereby reaching the quarter-final for the first time in modern times, but that's how news reporting works. WP:SPORTSEVENT requires out-of-the-ordinary coverage, as the examples clearly illustrate: this match hasn't had it. cheers, Struway2 ( talk) 16:04, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • That is out of the ordinary. Would a country half way around the world cover it had the result been reversed? Unlikely. The fact they have done it to cover one match in a minority sport (which it is in NZ at least, where rugby is king) shows there is more than ordinary coverage going on here. And the Millwall one is more about hooliganism than the match. The C of E God Save the Queen! ( talk) 16:36, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • "Would a country half way around the world cover it had the result been reversed?" Arsenal v Sutton, and not a pie in sight. I'm surprised how unaware you seem to be of the level of coverage of English football in the English-speaking world: publishing a syndicated match report really isn't extraordinary. cheers, Struway2 ( talk) 16:56, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply

The result was redirect to First 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency#Re-election campaign. And merge whatever content editors want to from the history. Although no one outcome (keep, delete, merge, redirect) has consensus, we do have consensus that this should not be covered in its own article, and the redirect/merge closure reflects that. Of course, editors remain free to merge content into other relevant articles such as Sweden-bashing, if that article is being kept.  Sandstein  15:16, 2 March 2017 (UTC) reply

The page was previously created under the title Nergisşah Sultan. As the original article didn't have any important material Nergisşah Sultan was redirected to Şehzade Mustafa. In July 2016, User:Mehdi.dof1 created the article again. The article doesn't make it clear why this person is notable and her name is even self-made as the only source that has a list of Mustafa's children doesn't mention the name for his elder daughter. About two-third of the article only explains the struggles between her father and his stepmother, sister, and brother-in-law. The other parts also explain how her sister got married and what her mother's ethnicity was. The subject is clearly not notable at all, and the article should probably either be deleted or redirected to Şehzade Mustafa. Keivan.f Talk 13:03, 15 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Nergissah is mentioned on page 50 and 300 of Pierce 1993, and on page 300 it says that she was well educated and gave a funeral oration for Mustafa, based on the writings of Giovanni Maria Angiolello. Lyber (Lybyer, Albert H. "Mohammed the Conqueror." The Slavonic and East European Review 15, no. 45 (1937): 639-648.) on page 640 says that Nerzisdad was married to the eldest son of Prince Bayazid (Bayezid in the article, I guess), who was heir apparent and was assigned governor of Amasia (not sure if that is the same as Anatollia and I'm not sure if the who being referred is Bayazid or his son). Some other names used include: "Negishade" OR "Nerzisdad" OR "Negursalde" OR "Nergis-sah" OR "Nergisşah" (see the snippet at: https://books.google.com/books?id=7UzVAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22negishade%22). I don't find much more and given the incoherence of the article, my inability to interpret references based in Angiolello's writing, and the fact that I am not familiar enough with Ottoman court politics to know whether a figure like this is likely to be notable, I can't really !vote keep. Smmurphy( Talk) 21:30, 20 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • @ Smmurphy Hi and thanks for introducing a few reliable sources. But could you be more specific, please? Because I want to know whether she was a notable figure or not. Obviously she was the daughter of a prince and a granddaughter of a sultan, and probably was also married to her uncle's son. (?) (As long as I know Bayezid, son of Suleiman and Hurrem, was the governor of Amasya for a period of time; although I'm not sure the sentence refers to which Bayezid as I haven't read what the source says). So if there's enough biographical information about her life that proves she was a notable person, then I hold no prejudice to the article being rewritten and done with reliable sources.

I'm neutral for her, especially compared to some of the other consorts you've nominated. I added my research to this page so that if anyone else wants, they can look at it and see if they can find more. Also, if the article is not deleted, the material could be added. My opinion is that she is notable, but I'm not sure that the evidence I've found meets the level of notability suggested by wikipedia policy. Sorry for the non-answer answer.

  • Keep Hmmm, I'm not really seeing a problem with the sources. They look like credibly reliable Romanian language sources (especially the Forbes piece - getting an article all about him in Forbes is a very strong indicator that he is of some significance) and seem to demonstrate that he is sufficently notable as a long-established businessman in his country. Looking up Ziarul Financiar, it sounds like the Romanian equivalent of The Financial Times, which would make me inclined to think it is a reliable source too. It certainly doesn't sound like a tabloid rag. Most of the sources I am finding for him are from Romanian financial/business newspapers, indicating that he is notable in Romania, and that makes him perfectly valid enough to have an English article. The main problem with the article is its tone and language, which is not really as neutral as one would like, but I don't see a really valid reasons for deletion. All it needs is some editing for tone. Mabalu ( talk) 15:44, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - I am the creator of this article, but I find him very notable in the industry of fashion in Romania, and is also a millionaire. I am not sure he is the first king of garment, but he is nicknamed the "King of Garment" and has an experience in Romania of several decades. He is also an exporter. His brand Seroussi is fighting for the top of Romania in terms of men's suites, alongside famous Bigotti - even on European level. Pretty much every mall has his shops. Moreover, he was in Top 500 Forbes of Romania and in Top 500 Capital. He also appears in Ziarul Financiar. Ziarul Financiar & Capital are top 3 largest publications of economy in Romania. They also have non-online editions. Seroussi started many years ago to export a lot too, and his fortune reached 100 million euros (or more) at some moment. His investments were around some hundreds in Romania. - Fashion moda Talk 19:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Does not appear to meet WP:BASIC which calls for "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources". WP:MUSICBIO also calls for "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician". While these ( [24], [25], [26], [27]) are secondary sources, they are stubby biographical pulp in music magazines. No significant musical contributions, no charted songs, and no awards.

Basically this is viral advertising for the subject's book. There is no online information on him other than in the couple of barely good enough articles which comment on the lack of information out there about him.

Mostly because the choice of subsections and authenticity evaluation constitutes original research. I also find the authenticity statements to be less accurate when a hadith article refers to multiple narrations, with each narration most likely having its own evaluation (e.g., Hadith of the two weighty things mentions no less than 10 narrations).

There is also some needless repetition, which is a good indicator that a list format may not be suitable. As an alternative to this article, I think we should have a category for the "Hadith of" articles. This should help with the navigation. Another option is to reduce this article to a list of links and delete any hadith article that fails notability. Wiqi( 55) 09:13, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. For me, the only reason to keep navigational lists over categories is that list entries can be sorted and annotated according to specific needs.

===Consensus===

Consensus is formed through the careful consideration, dissection and eventual synthesis of different perspectives presented during the discussion, and is not calculated solely by number of votes.

Outcomes should reflect the rough consensus reached in the deletion discussion and community consensus on a wider scale. (While consensus can change, consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale.)

I have no position on this article, but keeping or deleting at an individual article on the basis of how a specific guideline is to be interpreted is within the role of AfD.

  • Question for nominator. A few days ago, the nominator stated that they had checked for sources and declared "there aren't any". Perhaps the nominator will be kind enough to tell us what checks were done, and also the extent to which those checks included non-English and non-Internet sources. In the meantime, I'll simply note that the Wikipedia community has long accepted the presumed existence of sources for persons who have engaged in competition at the highest level of their fields. Thus, we do not demand multiple references for any person who has played baseball at the major-league level, nor for any cricketer who has played at the Test level, nor for any athlete who has competed in the Olympics. In all of these examples (as well as the many others that could also be mentioned), it is sufficient to demonstrate that the person has indeed engaged in structured competition at that highest level. And, that long-accepted standard has been met here. NewYorkActuary ( talk) 21:55, 26 February 2017 (UTC) reply

Clear motivated-efforts advertising because, not only has the article itself been tagged as an advertisement despite clear violations enough to suggest the article's deletion alone (this suggests paid advertising) in it alone; as it is, the article was never genuinely improved, and in fact emphasized its advertising worse when it was unimprovable; take the sources for example: 1 (2 is a clearly labeled self-PR interview) to 12 are all clear entertainment blogs, health guide listings, mere announcements or mentions or quite in between, next, the 12th is her own website, 13 to 19 are all again mere announcements and guides, until once again, 20 being an apparent press release, 21 to 24 are all same, until yet again, 25th is her own own advertised website again; continuing, 26 to 39 are all the same as before. We have our non-negotiable policies against such advertising because it's was founded this encyclopedia as it is, but also, the fact there's the clear attempts at keeping it an advertisement, which violates our simplest policies. In fact, simply take this which shows nothing but the same links as before, but this time actually emphasizing the mere consistency in PR from all available. This article overall is experiencing severe overfocus with such PR, such as beginning with an apparent PR-named mention, but then also the fact the 2 heaviest sections are the ones nearing the "Advert" tag, "Career and Awards", which shows there's nothing substantial here.

Case for Meeting WP:GNG
  • "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
  • "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.
    • I think ABC News, NY Mag, Independent, Atlanta Journal Constitution, and Daily KOS aught to be considered reliable enough. -- Seneca Talk 03:29, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
      • Daily Kos is not a reliable source for our purposes — it's a publication whose content is created by activist bloggers, not by professional journalists. Of the other sources, three of them are just glancing namechecks of Ossoff's existence in an article about a related topic (two are coverage of the race itself, which would be expected to exist because special elections always get coverage, and one is about a film), while the only one that's substantively about Ossoff is in the local media (where, again, deeper coverage of the individual candidates in a local election would be expected to exist.) None of this suggests that he's garnered more than the WP:ROUTINE level of coverage that all candidates in an election at this level of office could always expect to garner. Bearcat ( talk) 15:57, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • "Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
  • "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent.[4]
  • "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.
    • This criteria appears a bit subjective, but at this point it seems reasonable that we have created the "assumption not the guarantee" that Ossoff warrants an separate article. -- Seneca Talk 03:29, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to the election article, without prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins. A person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate in an election they haven't won yet — if they haven't already held a notable office, then they have to be shown and sourced as having already cleared our notability standards for another field of endeavour. Coverage of local elections always exists, so such coverage cannot be used to show GNG — if it could, then we would have to keep an article about everybody who was ever a candidate for anything at all.
    And no, whether a person is favoured or projected to win or lose the election does not boost their notability either, as Wikipedia does not deal in the realm of election predictions — candidates who were "favoured" during the campaign have gone on to lose the election (if "favoured" always necessarily translated to winning, then Hillary Clinton would be sitting in the White House right now), and different sources can make different projections of which candidate is "favoured" during the campaign (see the dispute during the 2012 election over whether Nate Silver's read of the polls as favouring Obama was more or less accurate than Dean Chambers's "unskewing" of the polls as favouring Romney), and the question of who's "favoured" to win the election can have different answers at different times in the campaign (Canada's national election in 2015 started out with the NDP favoured to win and Tom Mulcair favoured to become the new prime minister, but at about the midway point Justin Trudeau's Liberals overtook them in the polls and became the new favoured winner.)
    So, in a nutshell, if he wins the election he'll be entitled to an article and it can be recreated quite quickly. But unless you can demonstrate and source that he was already notable enough for an article before being named as a candidate, then the campaign coverage is not enough in and of itself to make him notable just for being a candidate per se.

  • Redirect and protect At this point, the race is notable, not necessarily the candidates. No objection to recreation if the subject wins their election or obtains a level of national coverage that approaches that of Christine O'Donnell. -- Enos733 ( talk) 20:37, 24 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete if Ossoff is elected to congress he will be notable. Until that time he is not notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 17:35, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I added two more sources, he's getting national coverage from respect news outlets and will be receiving more as we get closer to the election. I would suggest it is expected that someone who has not been elected fails to meet WP:NPOL, but suggest he does meet the base requirement of notability in general. Also, of those saying he is only receiving routine coverage because he's a candidate or that only the race is notable, I would ask if you can name the other candidates in this race.
There's a complete list of them in Georgia's 6th congressional district special election, 2017. So no, he's not the only candidate in the race that anybody can identify on the basis of the race's media coverage. Bearcat ( talk) 13:46, 26 February 2017 (UTC) reply
With respect, that's not the point. He's the only candidate in this race who is receiving national coverage in major newspapers and news. -- Nuujinn ( talk) 19:13, 26 February 2017 (UTC) reply
With respect, what you said is "name the other candidates in the race at all", not "measure out how much coverage each candidate in the race is or isn't getting". And at any rate, the basic principle on here is that for a not yet elected candidate to be deemed notable enough for a Wikipedia article because candidate (as opposed to because he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason before being a candidate), the volume of coverage pretty much has to go full-on Christine O'Donnell. It's not enough to show coverage of the race which namechecks the fact that he's a candidate in it but isn't fundamentally about him per se (and mostly doesn't single him out as the only candidate getting his candidacy namechecked, either), and it's not enough that a couple of those articles do single him out for a bit of closer attention than most of the others — it takes evidence that the candidacy itself is making him so much of a household name that people are likely to still be looking for an article about him ten years from now regardless of whether he wins or loses in the end. I live in Canada, for instance, and Christine O'Donnell was getting into our media here — so even up here in beaverland, you can still just say the name "Christine O'Donnell" and Canadians will still know exactly who you're talking about. Ossoff simply hasn't attained that depth of name recognition yet, so as of right now he's still in the "if he wins" class of candidates, and not in the "notable because candidate in and of itself" class yet. Bearcat ( talk) 20:19, 26 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment He clearly now meets criteria #2 of WP:POLITICIAN. His national coverage is significant. Casprings ( talk) 03:27, 28 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Again, a person does not clear GNG on namechecks of his existence in coverage of the election campaign, when both coverage of the election campaign and namechecks of the candidates within it are routinely expected to exist. The coverage needs to demonstrate evidence that he's notable for more than just the fact of being a candidate in and of itself, offering a credible reason why people will still be looking for an article about him ten years from now, before it can make him notable enough for inclusion. The coverage of Ossoff has to explode into Christine O'Donnell territory (which it hasn't done) before Ossoff can be deemed notable because candidate; absent that, it's either "was already notable enough for an article before he became a candidate" or "does not become notable enough for an article until he wins the election". And no, it's not an ideological bias, because the same restriction applies to the Republican candidates too. Bearcat ( talk) 18:25, 28 February 2017 (UTC) reply
NPOL #2 is not met by campaign coverage, except in the rare event that the campaign coverage explodes into Christine O'Donnell proportions. Every candidate for every political office that exists at all could always claim to clear NPOL #2 on the basis that campaign coverage existed — but we do not accept all candidates as notable until they can be shown to have garnered a lot more than the expected volume of coverage, and/or to have passed the ten-year test for enduring significance beyond the current news cycle. Bearcat ( talk) 18:58, 28 February 2017 (UTC) reply
Do you have some policy that says NPOL #2 is not meant for campaign coverage. If so, can you link? Casprings ( talk) 23:43, 28 February 2017 (UTC) reply
WP:POLOUTCOMES, specifically the third bullet point for "Candidates who ran but never were elected for a national legislature are not viewed as having inherent notability." Bearcat ( talk) 00:37, 1 March 2017 (UTC) reply
That is not policy. Says it right at the top. The point I am making is that policy isn't as prescriptive as you are stating. There are some documents meant to help editors, which you linked. But it is false to cite those as deterministic. For this article, given this is the first real test after an odd and historic election, I believe he is WP:N As such, I think it is likely that in 10 years, the public would benefit from articles that provide information concerning him and the national coverage of him (and not just the election), is an important indication of future relavence.

  • Keep. Notable coverage in scientific literature. However, not clear that "Tulane virus" is the best title, and although I think WP:SPECIESOUTCOMES should apply to viruses, SPECIESOUTCOMES is premature here. Viruses have an official database ( [32]); recognition there would satisfy SPECIESOUTCOMES, but Tulane virus isn't recognized there yet. The taxonomy is still in flux. "Tulane virus" is a proposed new species in a proposed new genus "Recovirus". As far as I can tell, the terms "Rhesus enteric calicivirus" and "Rhesus macaque recovirus" also refer to "Tulane virus", with none of these names yet satisfying SPECIESOUTCOMES (though they could be used as keywords to search for additional sources).

What is "a real source"? Second, what would be need for it to be more notable? Its not enough that they created first diskmagazine for amiga? And lastly why does english Wikipedia have higher requirements for stuff? Its been on german wikipedia for 8 years and its not deleted. Sorry if these might seem stupid questions, but i've never really have edited other than finnish Wikipedia. Liggi953 ( talk) 14:18, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

The German article has a couple external links, but no citations. Outside of being an OTHERSTUFF argument, it's age is irrelevant. I was able to find some articles mentioning it, but nothing satisfying GNG. I think it's worth noting that Alpha Flight is a long running comic and the AFL abbreviation is shared by something that gets a lot more coverage. That, plus the pre-internet era of its activity, means sources will be difficult to locate. Argento Surfer ( talk) 15:23, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Underground artists, by the very nature of their genre and scene, are almost impossible to reliably source. Without sources, almost anyone can claim to be famous in some obscure sub-genre and notability guidelines would be meaningless. The other option is simply to remove them as unsourced, as in this case. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:49, 1 March 2017 (UTC) reply

Canada has never played in a World Cup, Four Nations, European Cup or a Pacific Cup as required by RLN. I wasn't able to find any more sources so it could pass WP:GNG Mattlore ( talk) 20:15, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply
Required is an interesting choice of phrase, almost like you want to remove the rugby league article. May I ask if you are a fan of that particular sport, just out of interest? Fleets ( talk) 20:31, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply
I'm not sure how my personal preferences are relevant to this discussion, but even a quick glance at my editing history or user page will answer that question for you. RLN is a hard threshold that assumes notability if it is met - therefore required is a perfectly fine turn of phrase. As Chad Bain doesn't meet this guideline, the subject has to demonstrate it meets the general notability guidelines in other ways. Your arguments should concentrate on articulating how he does this so that the article doesn't get deleted. Mattlore ( talk) 21:36, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply
Was merely gauging how to engage with you, it was an attempt to see if you were open to an RLN that does support international rugby league and professional rugby league and not the current iteration of the guideline. Fleets ( talk) 21:58, 14 February 2017 (UTC) reply

I notice a few articles that currently fail RLN but may soon pass have been moved to @ Fleets: user space. If this AfD closes as delete and Fleets wants it, I'd like to see this too moved to his userspace, it's actually a good way to save it for moving back when it passes RLN/GNG! – skemcraig 21:00, 21 February 2017 (UTC) reply
He's purported to be an international player, playing in a pro-team, just in the semi-pro league 1. Rugby League and North America do create a few tests of the existing RLN criteria. Fleets ( talk) 21:03, 21 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. There are many hits to be found, because she is among other things a professional activist, who takes good care that he work gets published and articles about her get written. We should have a very high index of suspicion in evaluating careers like this " a Nigerian criminal justice psychologist, international speaker, child protection consultant, woman and child right activist, child abuse survivor, advocate for victims of sexual violence" especially when multiple professions are claimed, all coming down to the same thing. DGG ( talk ) 16:00, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • What does this even mean? The claim that we should be suspicious of multiple career hats is not a good argument. I can show you plenty of articles about notable people that list multiple jobs in the lede, because that happens. People sometimes have more than one career or interest, especially if they're activists on their off time. In addition, there is also nothing wrong with being a professional activist or about ensuring that you are seen by the press. The press saw her, among many people, and chose to write/quote her. I'm sure she didn't force them to write about her. None of your arguments refute the fact that she is in multiple reliable sources. You are only attempting to discredit the sources themselves.

  • Weak keep This article makes a claim of notability, namely that she is a fellow in a society recognized on the English Wikipedia as notable. Furthermore, the references, do establish significant coverage. These perquisites being fulfilled means this article passes WP:GNG. Comparatively, a fellow in the Royal Society would be widely considered notable on Wikipedia and it would be bias to put undue weight on recognizing members of one society with established notability over another with likewise established notability. ὦiki-Coffee( talk to me!) ( contributions) 00:10, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
    • Comment. The only claim I can see like that is of being an "Ashoka Fellow". The page describing this program [50] is so buzzword-laden that it's hard to know what to make of it, but it is certainly not the type of "elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association" that WP:PROF#C3 is talking about. It seems to be more of a program for giving grant funding to specific project proposals (something that is certainly not enough by itself for notability) and then giving them a fancy name. There is no violation of UNDUE in recognizing that the Royal Society is a highly selective and prestigious society and this one appears to be a dressed-up foundation and not a society at all. — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:31, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. I can find a dozen or so news stories quoting her, but none with the in-depth coverage about her required of WP:GNG. The Ashoka Fellowship profile could plausibly be taken as one such source, but we need multiple of them. And she definitely does not pass WP:PROF; it's not the right kind of fellowship for that. — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:38, 25 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • @ David Eppstein: This one is a difficult one for me. I have rescinded my speedy keep in favour of a weak keep after trying to edit the article but not finding enough sources to be able to write a great deal. The trouble is that her profile page on that society she is apart states that she worked in various news and radio organizations. Now the challenge here is that due to the country she is in and their limitations on connectivity and such one is presented the issue of if this was a developed country with greater technical advancement that information would have made its way onto the internet and thus made a better case for significant coverage. I am truly stuck on this one because I am honestly convinced there is enough to cover WP:GNG with leniency placed on the requirement for so much coverage based on my aforementioned logic. ὦiki-Coffee( talk to me!)

Article that was previously deleted in 2010 following AfD. The article is about a footballer that has never played in a fully-pro league, although he did play 20 minutes in a single FIFA-recognized friendly international match (which occurred after the original AfD). The article doesn't appear to satisfy the GNG as the coverage is routine (particularly the coverage of the match against Zimbabwe that *might* give him notability), and some of the negative content is only supported by blog postings.

  • Though normally for players who are well past their prime, and are unlikely to ever appear anywhere that meets WP:NFOOTY again. In the case of a 22-year old though, a minimal amount of play is normally enough to create the article. Could always bring it back for deletion in 2030 or so, if nothing else happens. Nfitz ( talk) 14:40, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - Just re-checked WP:NFOOTBALL, which clearly states that "Players who have played in, and managers who have managed in any Tier 1 International Match" are notable. It also states that "For the purposes of this guideline, played means having appeared in a match either in the starting line-up or coming on as a substitute. Therefore, Milanzi is notable enough to warrant a page. Seeing as he is only 22 and on loan from one of the biggest clubs in Africa, having also been called up to the Malawi National Side in 2015, I think it's logical to keep the page as this player could quite possibly make another senior international appearance. Davidlofgren1996 ( talk) 17:44, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
    • I don't dispute Milanzi's appearance in that solitary match (I even added a reference to the article to support it). I do disagree with all of the comments above which suggest NFOOTBALL as a free pass from the general notability guideline. It is a presumption of notability based on our collective experience that articles about senior international footballers are typically able to satisfy the GNG. I don't think that's the case here - although there is some coverage in Malawi and Zimbabwe sources, it is all routine and not significant. I'll gladly withdraw the nomination if it can be shown otherwise. Jogurney ( talk) 18:17, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
      • @ Jogurney: although WP:NFOOTY is sometimes overruled by WP:COMMONSENSE (such as here) I don't believe it applies to this case. Milanzi (the subject in question) has played a fully international match and plays for one of the most well known football clubs on the African contentment. More so he is still relatively young and still playing. WP:COMMONSENSE would suggest that in all likely hood Milanzi will continue to play in some notable games, such as the 2017 CAF Champions League which TP Mazembe will take part in. Inter&anthro ( talk) 19:54, 22 February 2017 (UTC) reply
        • I understand, but I don't see any sign that this player is likely to figure into TP Mazembe's Champions League plans. There are exactly 3 mentions of him on the club's website (2 involve an injury he sustained in 2011 and 1 involves a loan to a local affiliate club in 2012). It's unclear whether he remains under contract - the most recent source mentioning his association with TP Mazembe was an article from October 2016.
