Not necessarily a rivalry, both schools have no notable history. However, both did play on the field for nearly forty years, but I don't think it could be considered a rivalry due this fact. There are many Southeastern Conference teams who played traditionally before and after the expansion of Southeastern Conference, and don't consider them as rivals. I also could not find any reliable sources to support this as a major rivalry. CollegeRivalry ( talk) 20:49, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. My searches do not reveal significant coverage dealing with this series as a historical rivalry. That said, there is IMO also room for stand-alone articles about historically significant series that have had a particularly long history, major upsets or multiple match-ups where both teams were highly ranked. Here, the history is not so long -- the period of annual play ran only from 1966 to 2002. Further, there has not been even one game where both teams were ranked in the top 10 -- the highest ranked matchup was 1968 (#13 vs. #17). Nor is there a history of major upsets -- the biggest upset was 1967 (unranked Ole Miss upset #3 Georgia in an early season game). Cbl62 ( talk) 05:31, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Pile on vote here. The very first reference is titled "the forgotten rivalry." "Forgotten" could probably be interpreted as "not notable" here. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages)Have a blessed day. 11:56, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply
    NOTE: Focus on the word "forgotten" is misplaced. Remember, notability is not temporary. Accordingly, a historic rivalry from 50 or even 100 years ago that is defunct or "forgotten" by today's fan base remains notable for our purposes. Here, my searches focused on the years when the GA-MS series was most active, and I did not find significant coverage even then dealing with it as a rivalry. So it's not that this is a "forgotten" rivalry, but, rather, that it appears to be a "never was" rivalry. Cbl62 ( talk) 16:06, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Oppose – Doesn't fail NOTNEWS, sufficient news sources in multiple languages covering the event. Impact on land is applicable to the overall storm regardless of whether or not it was a tropical cyclone at the time. AfD is inappropriate for this situation; a merge discussion on the talk page is how this should be handled. ~ Cyclonebiskit ( chat) 19:01, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Oppose – I echo the sentiments that Cyclonebiskit noted earlier. A tropical cyclone need not remain a tropical cyclone to be newsworthy, particularly when impacting land. From what I see, there is fairly clear, reliable, and verifiable coverage of Beryl's effects in the Caribbean, regardless if they were remnants of the storm. TheAustinMan( Talk· Works) 19:06, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Strong Oppose – My statements echo those of Cyclonebiskit and TheAustinMan, wherein a tropical cyclone itself does not need to be a tropical cyclone to be noteworthy. Beryl was in addition a very unusual tropical cyclone, developing in the Main Development Region within the otherwise unfavorable month of July, as well as regenerating over the Gulf Stream as a subtropical cyclone. I see nothing here to remove. Cooper 19:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Possible hoax. I can't find any evidence this person existed. There was a German family named Triefenbach that moved to St. Louis and Illinois, including a Johann Heinrich Triefenbach (8 May 1820 – 8 August 1871) but he adopted the name Henry, not Jeremy. And anyway I can't find any evidence of notability, amazing survival story, inventor of outdoor recreation (what?) or this autobiography, It's a Good Deal.

  • Delete I have a sense that Wikipedia coverage of 19th-century German and expatriate German educationists is less than it could be. Karl G. Maeser has been the subject of a major book for example, and at some point I will undertake to better align the article with insights from the work of A. LeGrand Richards.

    • our article on Hahn actually claims his notions of "outdoor education" were drawn from Bernhard Zimmerman who was director of physical education at the University of Goenigen. It also places the emergence of these ideas, at least on Hahn's part, probably in the 1930s, although it is a bit iffy on timing details. The fact is that various ideas and manifestations of outdoor education go back to the founding of the Boy Scouts, and many other movements about the same time in 1910, and there are other things going on before that. Richard Ian Kimball' recreation in Zion work begins to suggest this was widespread in the 1900-1925 time frame, but the birth of the YMCa is in 1844, Naismith invents basketball at a YMCA school in 1891, and there are lots of other notions of renweal from sport and the outdoors going around for a long time. The article on Kurt Hahn says about nothing on his early life, it says he founded a school in 1920, and then skips to his excile from Germany in about 1933. Hahn was the cofounder of Outward Bound, but I see less than clear sourcing to make this the actual start of outdoor education. Scouting was formed in 1907, and organized camping existed earlier than that. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 23:10, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment It is claimed that the forest schools started in 1927 in Wisconsin under Dean H. L. Russell of the University of Wisconsin College of Agriculture were the first example of such a program. On the other hand, the paragraph on the Wisconsin forest schools in the article on forest schools lacks any sources, so I can not at this point vouch for its accuracy. This is something that could use more study. What is clear is that no one anywhere outside of this Wikipedia article seems to connect Triefenbach to the rise of this movement.

  • Delete. It exists, and it's mentioned a lot, but doesn't appear to be the subject of in-depth coverage. If you exclude a long list of false positives [8] not much comes up. If you switch to news sources after this exclusion chain, it's just jack [9]. Even general web hits are mostly photos. I.e., the training ground is real, and it gets used for taking player photos, and people mention it in passing, but no one seems to be writing about the arena itself – its founding and history, its significance in the world. It's rather like trying to have an article about building Mariana 3 on the Apple Inc. campus.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  16:00, 17 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete and/or redirect. As always, every candidate in every district is not automatically notable just for having his name on the ballot — he has to win the election in November to be deemed notable as a politician, and qualifies for an article before that only if he can either (a) show and reliably source credible evidence that he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason before he was a candidate (such as having already held another notable office, or meeting the required notability standard for his prior career), or (b) he can show that his campaign coverage has gone so far beyond everybody else's campaign coverage that he has a credible claim to being special. But neither of those conditions is true here. This can be recreated in November if he wins, since his notability claim will have changed from candidate to officeholder, but nothing here is enough to deem him already notable today.

Lebanonman19 ( talk) 15:23, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply
There's always a news story about every damn candidate in the entire United States every week. And having his name mentioned in a news story doesn't automatically assist in building his notability, either — he has to be the subject of a piece of coverage before it assists in demonstrating notability, not just a person whose name happens to show up in coverage of something else. Bearcat ( talk) 18:38, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply
He is the subject of almost every article cited on his page. Lebanonman19 ( talk) 05:14, 17 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Coverage which exists specifically in the context of an election campaign does not assist in building the notability of a person who wasn't already notable for other reasons before becoming a candidate, because that type of coverage always exists for every candidate in every election at the federal and state and municipal levels. So the only sources that count as potential notability builders here are the ones that exist outside the context of the campaign itself, and all of the sources that exist outside the campaign context here, such as #9 "At war over Obama's new war in Iraq", are mere namechecks of his existence in coverage about other things. For campaign coverage to contribute notability in and of itself, it would have to be shown that he's getting so much more campaign coverage than everybody else is that he would have a credible claim to being special — candidates are not automatically deemed notable enough for encyclopedia articles just because some campaign coverage exists, because there's no candidate for whom some campaign coverage ever doesn't exist. Bearcat ( talk) 15:41, 17 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in New Jersey, 2018. Most candidates for elected office are notable only in the context of their election.

The result was redirect to Meshuggah. I specifically rejected the argument to keep which suggested we could find better sources on the band's own website. That's pretty much the definition of not a WP:RS. There's no reason to delete the history; it may be useful for material to merge.

  • Delete The only source that is of any use for notability is the Globe and Mail review, and that's just a short review amongst several others. Perhaps the creators.vice.com link is useful, but I can't personally verify that. The Thomas Waugh essay ( google books link here) only mentions him in a screen grab and caption. The article's claim that his "satyrical short film 'Bondage Television' deserved broad commentary by the film writer Thomas Waugh in the context of masculine sexual orientation" is not backed up by the cited text itself (nor does it make much sense as a sentence -- Hall's short film deserved more "broad commentary" by "the film writer Thomas Waugh"? Or is Waugh claiming it deserves more broad commentary in general?) Either way, it doesn't seem to appear in the cited text and cannot be verified. If the original author of this Wikipedia article is making some sort of claim about what Waugh has or has not done as a scholar on behalf of Hall, that would be original research and a POV issue. Further searching turns up very little, a few mentions that only confirm Hall as an artist, but nothing that supports WP:GNG (or WP:ARTIST for that matter). freshacconci (✉) 18:24, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep This source extensively talks about the artist and the artworks. The translated title is: "The photographer Stev'nn Hall portrayed the painful relationship between the conscious and the unconscious." The article writes "The mixed media artist from Toronto, Canada, Stev'nn Hall, in his series 'Against Himself' makes an atypical approach to how we relate to ourselves. It is extremely difficult to put forward the feelings we repress every day in contrast to the face we show to people close to us. However, it is not possible to deny that those feelings, impulses and intentions are there, present, all the time" and "In what seems to be an exercise in bringing the unconscious to the front, the series shows portraits of different individuals a difficult facet to play. Naked, humiliated, hanged and so on, individuals attack themselves in different ways, questioning what these signs of power made to oneself could mean." (The machine translation is not great, but I think the meaning is decipherable.) The article goes on to say in translation "On the one hand, they could refer to the unconscious impulses that we seek to tame. However, on the other side, it seems that Hall's photographs and montages speak about the complex relationship that the mind has with the body. The physical instances that compel us to put ourselves at the greatest possible risk, feel adrenaline, activate it, being pampered by a physical instantiation that stops us" and "The photographs give free rein to our relationship with our body, our mind and what we love and hate about ourselves. You can see more, below." That last reference is to the ten photographs of the artist's work that are included in this review. Definitely a substantial review. I believe the source is Vice Media. Bus stop ( talk) 12:21, 20 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Also, this extensive review addresses Hall as an artist, especially the dissimilarity as well as the connections between the two styles of work he has produced—photographs of people and photographs of landscapes/seascapes.

  • Comment he is not listed in the CHIN (Canadian Heritage Information Network) list of " Artists in Canada", which is a pretty easy way of determining ballpark notability, by seeing if any of the contributing "Twenty-three libraries and art galleries" across Canada have a file on him. If 23 libraries and galleries do not see him as notable enough to start a file, I am not sure why we should. They do have 42,700 other artists listed. 96.127.242.226 ( talk) 02:13, 21 July 2018 (UTC) reply
"I am not sure why we should" I think we should. Sources take the artist seriously. Recognition is accorded the artist in the sources available to us. The author, RM Vaughn, focusses on three reviews in this source. The first of the three is that of Stev´nn Hall, and the headline derives from the work of Stev´nn Hall, reading "Electric skyscapes are a kick in the head". That is a reference to the two different styles in which the artist works. This is mentioned in the body of the review. One style involves human figures, in aggressive poses. The other involves landscapes, in which are sometimes found fiery skies. This is not a superficial review. It touches upon not only the significance of the work but the techniques used to bring the work about. This alone could establish notability. This source importantly includes what look to me as ten good quality photographs to represent some of the photographer's work. It characterizes him as a mixed media artist, something our article should mention. Vice Media, the publisher of this review, is a well-regarded source. This is a well-written and thoughtful review. Though not easily quantifiable, that is something we should be looking for, to establish notability. Bus stop ( talk) 02:56, 21 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nomination. Cannot locate significant evidence of Wikinotability. On an altogether different issue, I agree with some commentary above insinuating subject's artistic merit. - The Gnome ( talk) 09:10, 22 July 2018 (UTC) reply
The artist has won significant critical attention. Both of the sources that I've commented upon at length constitute "significant critical attention". Could the attention be more significant? Of course. But the above is adequate to establish that this is a serious artist working long-term in a well-defined area who has garnered a modicum of recognition. Wikipedia has standards of notability but when they are met you can't keep demanding more. Our standard should not be understood to only include only stodgy well-accepted artists but also those whose careers are relatively new. When an artist's name is the key factor that makes the artwork good, that artist is already a has-been. On the other hand the artist whose work alone is the key to whatever meager degree of success they have achieved, and whose name is unknown—that would be my idea of a "non-stodgy" artist. We have ample indication in sources that the work of this artist is beginning to open up doors. Both of the above sources are prominent reviews of this emerging artist's work. Our notability standards are not specific as to what degree of prominence is adequate but we can use common sense. On a separate note I can't tell what you are referring to by "some commentary above insinuating subject's artistic merit. What is that a reference to? Do you mean on the part of sources or on the part of editors? Bus stop ( talk) 12:17, 22 July 2018 (UTC) reply
The subject's artistic merit has been insinuated by editors. Namely, you. You see, I may agree that some subject is notable in real life, but this does not mean I automatically believe the subject is also Wikinotable. This encyclopaedia has its own rules. Within which, verifiability through the testimony of reliable sources is a paramount one. And since Wikipedia accepts sources rather than personal testimony, and established sources more than non-established ones, it figures that Wikipedia would be perforce slanted towards more "stodgy well-accepted artists" and fewer artists "whose careers are relatively new." So, Wikipedia will never be the encyclopaedia of (or even a guide for) the Avant-Guarde. I have fully accepted this state of affairs; and you should too, I think, for the sake of your peace of mind. - The Gnome ( talk) 14:04, 22 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Unlike British neighborhoods, many U.S. neighborhoods, especially within major cities, do not in fact have boundaries. New York City is a prime example of that. One might say they're in either Forest Hills or in Rego Park in Queens, and they wouldn't necessarily be wrong either way. One might also say they're in Kips Bay or in Rose Hill in Manhattan, and they wouldn't necessarily be wrong either way. But note that each of these has a separate Wikipedia page. In the U.S., unincorporated neighborhoods in major cities are often (though not always) loosely and culturally defined. The salient point for Wikipedia is notability. The source succinctly and reliably states that Little India ( India Square) lies within the Jersey City neighborhood of Little Bombay. In other words, India Square is a micro-neighborhood within the macro-neighborhood of Bombay, Jersey City, which Wikipage is only two months old and needs time to develop, but in fact was vetted, reviewed, and even moved from Bombay, New Jersey to Bombay, Jersey City. Also note that the West Village is a micro-neighborhood within the macro-neighborhood of Greenwich Village, both in turn within Manhattan, but neither the West Village nor Greenwich Village has clearly defined boundaries - they are more loosely and culturally defined.

{{ping}Castncoot}}, it would be helpful if you would provide the exact quote from the source so that we can make an informed judgement. For your Manhattan examples above, we have plenty of sources while there does seem to be a paucity of sources for Little Bombay (and none, if I may say, for Bombay) so a full quotation would be helpful.

If one prefers a merge to Marion Section instead of India Square would be more appropriate since the area includes the parts of the Journal Square district just north of the square itself and most of the area west of it, including Newark Avenue. Djflem ( talk) 05:37, 17 July 2018 (UTC) reply

I think a reference to "Little Bombay" is probably ok since a google search [12] throws up articles that use that term synonymously with India Square, even though none qualify as RS (and I still haven't seen the actual text from the Moon guide). However, Bombay seems totally egregious and made up to me and should not appear anywhere on Wikipedia. At best, a line in India Square along the lines of sometimes called "Little India" or "Little Bombay" may be appropriate. -- regentspark ( comment) 13:39, 17 July 2018 (UTC) reply
This is where topic experience is critical, User:RegentsPark. The *fact* is that, as User:Irehdna pointed out, India Square lies within Bombay/New Bombay/Little Bombay. To complicate things further, as User:Djflem has validly pointed out, the loosely defined Bombay neighborhood has now also sprawled over into the Marion Section of Jersey City as well. So RegentsPark's proposal is not acceptable (because it's now factually incorrect), even if it may have had validity as recently as ten years ago. India Square connotes the commercial center of Bombay/New Bombay/Little Bombay, which in turn represents more of a cultural zone encompassing both India Square and the Journal Square areas. We cannot be telling Wikipedia readers that 2+2=5. I believe that the correct solution here is to develop this article properly to reflect these intricacies as well as vagaries. The way I see it, deleting an article is simply a copout as a way to avoid necessary work. Castncoot ( talk) 01:57, 18 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Perhaps that's true, but I haven't seen a single source which supports that assertion, and undefined neighborhoods are held to the WP:GNG standard per WP:GEOLAND. In the absence of any reliable sources this is a clear delete or merge. SportingFlyer talk 04:20, 18 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Exactly. @ Castncoot: you need to find reliable sources for your assertions otherwise we, i.e., Wikipedia, will be creating new neighborhoods out of nothing (once again, we are not a crowd sourced site). Reliable sourcing is a core policy for a very good reason and no sources for Bombay exist. Little Bombay does seem to be used as an alternative name for India Square, though you still haven't provided the text of that source, so that can be stated in the India Square article. But creating an article on Bombay, New Jersey (or Jersey City) merely on the basis of "topic experience" is not acceptable. -- regentspark ( comment) 22:21, 18 July 2018 (UTC) reply
What Djflem is pointing out is that this article should be redirected to India Square or Marion Section, of which India Square is part with the proper citation in the article as opposed to creating new articles such a Koreatown, Palisades and Koreatown, Fort Lee, which give a name that is not really in use to communities large concentrations of an ethnic group, but rather use existing names and article and expand on those. That's the work. Djflem ( talk) 22:38, 18 July 2018 (UTC) reply

WP:TOOSOON article about a state gubernatorial election that's more than four years away as of today -- there's literally nothing of substance to say about this yet except that it's going to happen, and the only source being cited here is an unreliable blog entry about the incumbent governor predicting that he'll serve for at least ten years, not reliable or notability-supporting media coverage of the 2022 election as a thing that anybody's paying attention to yet.

And even then, the incumbent could still resign or die, or choose not to run again sometime in the next four years, or try to run again in 2022 but lose the primary.

  • ROADOUTCOMES is an essay, not policy. We should not automatically assume that because something is "generally notable" in an essay topic that it is inherently notable in Wikipedia policy. Who also made the decision that service areas in Britain (but no other country) were generally notable? If it was on the basis of an outcome of a mass AfD (which was always going to end up as a trainwreck) then the fallback should consider reliable sources if there are any. Shopping centres covering a larger area and a greater number of facilities aren't always notable and I don't see why smaller services areas should have a higher status.

Some nim-come-poop (not directed at anyone in particular) is probably going to come along and say but, but, but, that's all local coverage and there's nothing special about this place! and to that I challenge them to take a random sample of 50 articles from each of these categories: Category:Public high schools in California, Category:Cities in Florida, and Category:Prisons in Texas. How many of them are run-of-the-mill subjects that just barely meet WP:GNG (or, perhaps in you opinion, don't meet WP:GNG at all)? WP:OTHERSTUFF? Read over that argument closely before you cite it. The argument here isn't that one, two, ten, or even one hundred articles exist, the point is three quarters or more of Wikipedia content exists. If we nuke all of it, it won't just be Wikipedians noticing and talking about the mass removal of pages about little towns, moderately sized cities, schools, hospitals, etc. I point back to WP:NOTPAPER, and also to WP:IAR.

  • Keep - there are more than enough sources cited here to show notability. The last RfC on school notability said virtually nothing...even its proposer disavowed it in his RfA. All it said was you couldn't claim OUTCOMES alone as a reason to keep. However, that too has been completely ignored. Guidelines here are dictated by the community, not some bureaucratic action like an RfC. Forever, the notability of secondary schools has been weighed against a standard much closer to WP:PLACE than WP:ORG.

The result was no consensus. As with many school AfDs, the arguments come down to, Lack of independent sources vs, But we keep schools.

  • Keep - We keep high schools for the very good reason that experience shows that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a very poor tool for finding sources on Indian schools because, unlike US schools for example, they don't dump everything on the Internet. Indeed, very few have much of an Internet presence at all. We must avoid systemic bias and allow time for local sources to be researched since no evidence has been adduced that this school cannot meet notability requirements.

So Just Chilling, you want to make a point that you have more "experience" in this subject area than a person who lives in Calcutta itself ? Just FYI, all major dallies be it Bengali, English, etc native to this metropolitan region, have a strong presence on the internet itself. The only two sources found up-till now lack even the depth needed for a decent DYK criteria article. The first from Times of India Nie reads like a press release, the second is MILL coverage about two kids getting into fight that turned ugly. If you are such a firm believer in with enough research, sources can invariably be found, I ask you to get your hands dirty and instead of passing comments on my inability to do a through WP:BEFORE , try and find some of those excellent source you have mentioned above. If you however cannot I would request you to refactor your comment to reflect the same Thanks. —  F R+ 18:02, 11 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. About 90% of the time even in the most recent year we have kept verifiable high schools, on the basis that they form a reasonable exception-and the purpose for making them an exception is not just thatthey usually can be sourced with enough effort, and make suitable articles for beginners, but even more important, to avoid the potential thousands of debates such as this, which will , based on experience, come out essentially random. There's avirtue in consistency; there's a virtue in not making decisions that have no basis except the people who happen to show up for the discussion and how much effort they want to devote to the argument. (and when the argument, as here, seems to rely on personal knowledge that it is or is not important in its community, that's all the mroe reason. The claim that a person from the city doesn't think them notable and should therefore have the last word can be used to keep or delete almost anything.--its a classic IDONTLIKEIT/IDOLIKEIT argument.

  • Oppose — I am one of the editors who has contributed to the article. Of the 7 citations currently supporting the article, only one is a press release / self-published; the remaining 6 are from established news outlets, mostly newspapers, with one being from Science Translational Medicine. GHits are not a measure of notability any longer, considering the vast content in Internet Archive and Newspapers.com, neither of which are touched by Google. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 04:02, 7 July 2018 (UTC) reply
@ User:Ceyockey This mention in newspapers.com is just a trivial passing mention, so is this one. Then there are the quarterly financial reports used as sources. The source you mention from Science Translational Medicine is a blog. They explicitly state on the top that the blog is in no way affiliated with the magazine and does not have any peer review etc. They call it editorially independent. So it is not part of the magazine. With such unreliable sourcing, this should have been deleted ages ago. 2Joules ( talk) 08:05, 7 July 2018 (UTC) reply

I presume, Ceyockey, you're addressing me rather than User:CAPTAIN RAJU. Briefly, the label " promotional" is based on the use of weaselly words and phrases in the contested article such as: "focused on"; "this new opportunity"; "tethering", without explanation (the source cited does not explain, while the DCC article itself is unsatisfactory, so the user is left staring at just an impressive sounding word); etc. Plus, this being an article indirectly about scientific subjects ( chemistry, biology), we need explanations for the terms used, otherwise, again, the user is left just staring at impressive wordage. For example, "...helping leukemia patients with a C481S mutation". What's "C4815"? And what it means to be a mutation of it? Admittedly, the sum does not constitute something highly promotional, but when it comes to articles about corporations, we must be vigilant. In any case, the bigger problem here is lack of notability; weasels can be run out. - The Gnome ( talk) 05:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
sorry for the mis-direction, @ The Gnome. I don't think I added any of the promotional-signals, and all of these can be addressed. The C4815 thing ... that bothered me too; drugs are now targeting specific mutations, but that info doesn't belong in the company article, but in the drug article. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 03:23, 9 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete fails WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH, the latter in particular. The sources cited by the article are all either trivial mentions, press releases, minor list articles (such as the Wisconsin State Journal citation), etc. None these pass the newly-strengthened NCORP guideline for notability or CORPDEPTH. Furthermore, neither the sources cited nor the article itself make a credible claim to significance for the company, which seems to be a run-of-the-mill pharmaceutical company with doubtful encyclopedic notability.-- SamHolt6 ( talk) 17:33, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment — @ User:SamHolt6 noted the WP:CORPDEPTH, which I'd not been familiar with prior to this; it provides a guide to source evaluation, which did not exist before. As I've been defending the article, I thought it incumbent upon me to do the WP:CORPDEPTH source analysis, which appears below. I'd be interested in how you feel my interpretation of sources matches your interpretations. I do agree that "2" as the count of supporting pass citations is insufficient to support a keep for the current state of the article. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 02:24, 10 July 2018 (UTC) reply

The nominator also missed WP:NEXIST, which states that the current absence of sources in an article is not proof that sources do not exist at all, and that editors should search for them and add them going forward. Of the 13 albums in the nomination, 8 have reviews at AllMusic which can be found easily. The following do not have AllMusic reviews: You'll Never Beat the Irish, As Gaeilge, The Foggy Dew (album), The Troubles (Wolfe Tones album), and 'Till Ireland a Nation. Of that group, The Troubles (Wolfe Tones album) received one possibly useful review that I could find ( [41]), and I could find nothing for the other four. Those five albums could be subjected to this AfD process individually but that is not a good reason to condemn the band's entire discography through this collective nomination. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 18:37, 1 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all. Per Doomsdayer520, I don't see that WP:BEFORE has been met here. Even if it were found that some individual subjects do not meet WP:NALBUM (to the extent that the content was to be deleted), some of the titles themselves would seem appropriate to at least retain as a redirect (to the extent that the titles would seem appropriate to keep). If we get to that point, The Wolfe Tones discography would seem a viable target. Otherwise, the individual articles should be individually assessed. And, at quick glance, per Doomsdayer520, at least some of the albums listed have been the subject of non-trivial reviews/coverage. Short of evidence of WP:BEFORE on each of them, I don't see how I could support the "delete them all" recommendation. (Separately, I would note that all of these articles were created by the same [now] blocked user. And nominated shortly after that user was blocked. I'm not saying its the case here, and while it sometimes seem like it perhaps should be, "the author is a dick" is not a valid AfD rationale.) Guliolopez ( talk) 20:21, 2 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: Why else I would create this if it wasn't notable enough. And I dont think so it fails Wikipedia notability issue. And this is certainly not an ordinary incident. It has a sufficient coverage to be included in the wikipedia. Nauriya Lets Talk 19:14 30 June 2018 (UTC).
I'm sure as the creator you think it's notable enough but this is not about your personal opinion but notability guidelines. For an event to be notable it has to have significant non routine coverage over a period of time. All the sources date from a period of a few days as one would expect of any murder. The last source you have added dates from 10 days ago. This suggests that it has no long lasting notability. There are thousands of murders reported every day we only create articles about notable events. This murder is a tragedy but as it says in WP:NEVENT Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.

  • Delete Sad story, but doesn't look like it meets notability requirements at WP:CRIME. Neither the victim nor the perpetrator were notable in their own rights, nor was the crime particularly noteworthy. Also, given that the trial hasn't even taken place and the perpetrator is living and therefore falls under BLP guidelines, the note in WP:CRIME certainly applies: "Note: A living person accused of a crime is presumed not guilty unless and until the contrary is decided by a court of law. Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured." If this crime turns out to have enduring significance, it may need an article at some point, but at this point it is WP:TOOSOON to assume it will be anything other than an unfortunate criminal event. PohranicniStraze ( talk) 06:08, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per WP:RAPID. Fairly wide international coverage for a murder in Pakistan. The question as this point is whether such coverage will be LASTING and SUSTAINED - however we can not evaluate this at this without a crystal ball at this point, hence RAPID. Icewhiz ( talk) 13:43, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
I don't think RAPID applies here as it says delay for a few days after the event has taken place. This event happened more than a month ago so it is no longer breaking news. NEVENT clearly states that routine events such as crimes are usually not notable unless something further gives them enduring notability. This murder took place over a month ago and no other sources have been added beyond the initial reporting of the crime. Dom from Paris ( talk) 23:57, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
There are a number of features to this murder that make it notable (e.g. it being filmed). Most murders in Pakistan receive scant local coverage. This one has been receiving international coverage for a few news cycles - for some time after the event. With the coverage so far. There is enough coverage for notability - the question is whether it will be SUSTAINED. Icewhiz ( talk) 02:41, 9 July 2018 (UTC) reply
As I said in my reply to the article creator all the sources date from a few days as one would expect from a murder and then dry up. The last one was dated from nearly 3 weeks ago. The only possibly notable element was the fact this was filmed but beyond the voyeuristic element of this murder having been posted on the web and the novelty factor for a source to be able to post actual images of the crime there are no other reasons why this murder got coverage and as all the sources are single reports about the event I cannot see the proof that this was reported over more than 1 news cycle. As per NEVENT it doesn't matter if events were widely reported at the time it is the sustainability that matters. Half of the sources are not signed and come from either "web desk" or "news desk" or some such, and one is signed by a "trainee social media journalist". If there were follow up in depth reports from the same sources this may point to notability but there are none. Dom from Paris ( talk) 06:22, 9 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Those who cite RAPID tend to ignore the entirety of our notability guidelines for events and their argument falls apart when you analyze it. Saying LASTING cannot be evaluated is another way of telling the closer there is ‘’no’’ lasting impact. Hence, it was too soon to create this article, as the other half of RAPID (“don’t ‘’rush’’ to create articles”) explicitly describes. The notability guidelines also warns us violent crimes are excellent for the media, but the encyclopedia has different criteria we follow with much higher standards for inclusion.

Saying it "doesn't apply to novels or games" seems questionable when it explicitly covers "web content". Whether "web content" covers downloadable Steam games is an open question as far as I can tell, but it definitely covers at least some novels and games that exist only on some guy's website, which is presumably why it doesn't explicitly exclude "novels and games".

Also, I'm inclined to agree with ECoV in questioning the reliability of the source: an earlier article on the same topic, by the same author for the same publication, included the bizarre claim that the game brings together Taiwanese elements and aboriginal culture (!? does he mean Australian aboriginal? if he meant Taiwanese aboriginal, that would be redundant...) and appears to have sloppily conflated new Taiwan dollars with USD, since 1,000,000 USD to crowdfund a non-animated visual novel is a phenomenal amount and would raise questions of scamming, while 1,000,000 TWD is not all that impressive despite the language the article used. (Granted, FlyingV.cc might measure things in USD, and the game might be a visual extravaganza of a gaming experience that really did cost that much to make, but...) Hijiri 88 ( やや) 05:07, 21 July 2018 (UTC) reply
BTdubs, the best source I could find discussing the game was this, but appears to be more about Taiwanese culture and history in general, with the reporter taking with credulity everything his interviewees said with regard to the content of the game since the game was not apparently out yet. We can't just say the game incorporates elements of Taiwanese aboriginal mythology (as opposed to being "inspired by" it, which usually means there is little to no relation) just because the game's producers said so, since (even per the report in question) said producers knew nothing about said mythology prior to doing research for the game.

The ultimate source appears to be either Innes or The Torture Museum -- This shows it at the Museum back to at least 1999. This work explicitly dismisses Innes as "the least reliable recent source". The Museum also exhibits the chastity belt and the iron maiden and the pear of anguish, which makes their adherence to truth over sensation [44] questionable, and I could find no real use of the terms "Spaccaginocchio" or "Quebranta Rodilla" via gbooks/scholar. this non-RS takes them apart. Even if the device shown at the museum did happen to be of genuine medieval origin, there's no indication that it has individual notability (rather than being an example of a putative instrument of torture). There's no in-depth coverage of it, but hypothetically if there were more ample reliable sources found prior to the 1990s, then merge/redirect to list would be best.

Unfortunately the book it referenced, Inquisition: A Bilingual Guide To The Exhibition Of Torture Instruments From The Middle Ages To The Industrial Age, wasn't available as an e-book, so I had to suck it up and order the actual book. Shipping is slow so the ETA isn't until late July-early August, but long story short I can check it once I get it for any information about the knee splitter. ♠ PMC(talk) 07:39, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Addendum: having a look at the Inquisition book, it looks like it may have been published by one of those torture museums that the www.documentazione.info source above debunks. The rabbit hole just gets deeper. ♠ PMC(talk) 07:55, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete actually, a full reading is not "we keep radio stations". It is "we keep radio stations if they can be demonstrated to be notable". And even the full existence is not so demonstrated here. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:53, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Eastmain is incorrect about how NMEDIA works — we do not routinely keep every article that merely claims that its topic exists as a radio station, but rather radio stations have to meet all four of four conditions to get articles: (1) they originate at least a portion of their own programming schedule in their own studios rather than existing purely as a rebroadcaster of another service, (2) they are licensed by the relevant regulatory authority rather than operating as a Part 15 or pirate station, (3) they are actually on the air and not just an unlaunched construction permit that exists only on paper, and (4) all three of those facts are reliably sourceable. We've had a lot of hoax articles created over the years about radio stations that didn't really exist, or that falsely claimed a license they didn't have or programming they didn't produce — so the notability test for a radio station is not just "the article says it exists", but "the article can be properly sourced as meeting all of the conditions for the notability of a radio station". And this is not properly sourced as meeting any of them. NMEDIA most certainly does not exempt a media outlet from having to be properly referenced to be considered notable.

The result was keep. I am closing this early per WP:SNOW.
I can understand the argument for deletion, as it's an argument I've sympathized with in the past. To summarize it, Wikipedia is not a newspaper, and this means that there are some topics which may be "newsworthy" but not "encyclopedia-worthy". A topic is not necessarily suitable for a standalone article even if it has received significant coverage in a lot of reliable newspapers (the WP:N lead states that an article must both meet WP:GNG and not be excluded by WP:NOT). Instead, to determine encyclopedic notability, we look at things like lasting significance and persistence of coverage.
However, with that being said, these are not things that we can necessarily determine soon after an event takes place. There is a broad consensus here that given the extent and breadth of the coverage about this topic, it is reasonable to keep this article and allow it to develop for the time being. Many editors also argued that the extent and breadth of the coverage indicates that it is more than merely newsworthy, and even those who sympathize with the deletion argument have suggested valid alternatives to deletion, such as merging to Protests against Donald Trump or rewriting the article so that it is more about the events/protests in which the balloon was flown.
For these reasons, I believe that at this time, there is no real chance that this discussion will result in any other outcome besides "keep". For the same reasons, I do not recommend starting something like a merge discussion in the weeks immediately after this discussion is closed.

TITANIIC is another Replica Titanic project that does not appear to have advanced beyond the proposal stage as there is no formal announcement of a signed shipyard contract. If falls into WP:CRYSTAL as there is no clear fundraising strategy to raise the hundreds of millions of dollars. So it is very unlikely to ever get built.

It has serious WP:VERIFIABILITY citation issues as the inline citations are in Czech. Any English language online references to the project appear to be Wikimirrors. I ran the Czech web sites cited through Google translate and they appear to be interviews with the project leader on sites that have minimal fact checking and/or editorial oversight. To give one example, the machine translation quoted the project leader as claiming that QM2 designer Stephen Payne was working for his project for free. Nor have I found any independent source to support his claim of shipyard STX France having an official business partnership with the TITANIIC project. The organization also fails WP:ORG for notability as it has no coverage beyond the Czech web sites and there is no inherit notability by claiming a connection with a notable naval architect or comparison to the Clive Palmer Titanic II. Finally, there is serious WP:COI by the page creating editor whose name also appears on their web site as a staff employee. Merging this article into Replica Titanic still would not address the verifiability problems. This organization appears to be a dream by a promoter who has built a very nice web site but has no engineering team, realistic fund raising strategy, or idea who would operate the ship. Wikipedia is not a free publicity site to give legitimacy to a fund raising cause. Blue Riband► 00:28, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: If we were to use steel cut as a criteria for inclusion then an entire category, Cancelled ships of the United States Navy, would be up for AfD. Then do we do about the USS United States (CVA-58) which had its keel laid only to have it broken up when funding was withdrawn? If there is widespread notable press and industry coverage in reliable sources then it would meet WP:Notability regardless of our personal opinions of the project sponsors. Blue Riband► 02:45, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Steel cut occurs before keel laying; sometimes by many months. (See MSC Seaside for an example.) Comments on the two Princess Kaguya AfDs linked above advocated for keel laying as the trigger for an article, which is more stringent a standard. As to notability: widespread publicity, is not the sole criterion to be met for an article to appear on Wiki; the project must be reasonably certain to take place, per WP:CRYSTAL.

Not necessarily a rivalry, both schools have no notable history. However, both did play on the field for nearly forty years, but I don't think it could be considered a rivalry due this fact. There are many Southeastern Conference teams who played traditionally before and after the expansion of Southeastern Conference, and don't consider them as rivals. I also could not find any reliable sources to support this as a major rivalry. CollegeRivalry ( talk) 20:49, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply

That said, there is IMO also room for stand-alone articles about historically significant series that have had a particularly long history, major upsets or multiple match-ups where both teams were highly ranked. Here, the history is not so long -- the period of annual play ran only from 1966 to 2002. Further, there has not been even one game where both teams were ranked in the top 10 -- the highest ranked matchup was 1968 (#13 vs. #17).

    NOTE: Focus on the word "forgotten" is misplaced. Remember, notability is not temporary. Accordingly, a historic rivalry from 50 or even 100 years ago that is defunct or "forgotten" by today's fan base remains notable for our purposes. Here, my searches focused on the years when the GA-MS series was most active, and I did not find significant coverage even then dealing with it as a rivalry. So it's not that this is a "forgotten" rivalry, but, rather, that it appears to be a "never was" rivalry. Cbl62 ( talk) 16:06, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply

    • our article on Hahn actually claims his notions of "outdoor education" were drawn from Bernhard Zimmerman who was director of physical education at the University of Goenigen. It also places the emergence of these ideas, at least on Hahn's part, probably in the 1930s, although it is a bit iffy on timing details. The fact is that various ideas and manifestations of outdoor education go back to the founding of the Boy Scouts, and many other movements about the same time in 1910, and there are other things going on before that. Richard Ian Kimball' recreation in Zion work begins to suggest this was widespread in the 1900-1925 time frame, but the birth of the YMCa is in 1844, Naismith invents basketball at a YMCA school in 1891, and there are lots of other notions of renweal from sport and the outdoors going around for a long time. The article on Kurt Hahn says about nothing on his early life, it says he founded a school in 1920, and then skips to his excile from Germany in about 1933. Hahn was the cofounder of Outward Bound, but I see less than clear sourcing to make this the actual start of outdoor education. Scouting was formed in 1907, and organized camping existed earlier than that. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 23:10, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment It is claimed that the forest schools started in 1927 in Wisconsin under Dean H. L. Russell of the University of Wisconsin College of Agriculture were the first example of such a program. On the other hand, the paragraph on the Wisconsin forest schools in the article on forest schools lacks any sources, so I can not at this point vouch for its accuracy. This is something that could use more study. What is clear is that no one anywhere outside of this Wikipedia article seems to connect Triefenbach to the rise of this movement.

  • Delete. It exists, and it's mentioned a lot, but doesn't appear to be the subject of in-depth coverage. If you exclude a long list of false positives [8] not much comes up. If you switch to news sources after this exclusion chain, it's just jack [9]. Even general web hits are mostly photos. I.e., the training ground is real, and it gets used for taking player photos, and people mention it in passing, but no one seems to be writing about the arena itself – its founding and history, its significance in the world. It's rather like trying to have an article about building Mariana 3 on the Apple Inc. campus.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  16:00, 17 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete and/or redirect. As always, every candidate in every district is not automatically notable just for having his name on the ballot — he has to win the election in November to be deemed notable as a politician, and qualifies for an article before that only if he can either (a) show and reliably source credible evidence that he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason before he was a candidate (such as having already held another notable office, or meeting the required notability standard for his prior career), or (b) he can show that his campaign coverage has gone so far beyond everybody else's campaign coverage that he has a credible claim to being special. But neither of those conditions is true here. This can be recreated in November if he wins, since his notability claim will have changed from candidate to officeholder, but nothing here is enough to deem him already notable today.

Lebanonman19 ( talk) 15:23, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply
There's always a news story about every damn candidate in the entire United States every week. And having his name mentioned in a news story doesn't automatically assist in building his notability, either — he has to be the subject of a piece of coverage before it assists in demonstrating notability, not just a person whose name happens to show up in coverage of something else. Bearcat ( talk) 18:38, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply
He is the subject of almost every article cited on his page. Lebanonman19 ( talk) 05:14, 17 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Coverage which exists specifically in the context of an election campaign does not assist in building the notability of a person who wasn't already notable for other reasons before becoming a candidate, because that type of coverage always exists for every candidate in every election at the federal and state and municipal levels. So the only sources that count as potential notability builders here are the ones that exist outside the context of the campaign itself, and all of the sources that exist outside the campaign context here, such as #9 "At war over Obama's new war in Iraq", are mere namechecks of his existence in coverage about other things. For campaign coverage to contribute notability in and of itself, it would have to be shown that he's getting so much more campaign coverage than everybody else is that he would have a credible claim to being special — candidates are not automatically deemed notable enough for encyclopedia articles just because some campaign coverage exists, because there's no candidate for whom some campaign coverage ever doesn't exist. Bearcat ( talk) 15:41, 17 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in New Jersey, 2018. Most candidates for elected office are notable only in the context of their election.

  • Delete The only source that is of any use for notability is the Globe and Mail review, and that's just a short review amongst several others. Perhaps the creators.vice.com link is useful, but I can't personally verify that. The Thomas Waugh essay ( google books link here) only mentions him in a screen grab and caption. The article's claim that his "satyrical short film 'Bondage Television' deserved broad commentary by the film writer Thomas Waugh in the context of masculine sexual orientation" is not backed up by the cited text itself (nor does it make much sense as a sentence -- Hall's short film deserved more "broad commentary" by "the film writer Thomas Waugh"? Or is Waugh claiming it deserves more broad commentary in general?) Either way, it doesn't seem to appear in the cited text and cannot be verified. If the original author of this Wikipedia article is making some sort of claim about what Waugh has or has not done as a scholar on behalf of Hall, that would be original research and a POV issue. Further searching turns up very little, a few mentions that only confirm Hall as an artist, but nothing that supports WP:GNG (or WP:ARTIST for that matter). freshacconci (✉) 18:24, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep This source extensively talks about the artist and the artworks. The translated title is: "The photographer Stev'nn Hall portrayed the painful relationship between the conscious and the unconscious." The article writes "The mixed media artist from Toronto, Canada, Stev'nn Hall, in his series 'Against Himself' makes an atypical approach to how we relate to ourselves. It is extremely difficult to put forward the feelings we repress every day in contrast to the face we show to people close to us. However, it is not possible to deny that those feelings, impulses and intentions are there, present, all the time" and "In what seems to be an exercise in bringing the unconscious to the front, the series shows portraits of different individuals a difficult facet to play. Naked, humiliated, hanged and so on, individuals attack themselves in different ways, questioning what these signs of power made to oneself could mean." (The machine translation is not great, but I think the meaning is decipherable.) The article goes on to say in translation "On the one hand, they could refer to the unconscious impulses that we seek to tame. However, on the other side, it seems that Hall's photographs and montages speak about the complex relationship that the mind has with the body. The physical instances that compel us to put ourselves at the greatest possible risk, feel adrenaline, activate it, being pampered by a physical instantiation that stops us" and "The photographs give free rein to our relationship with our body, our mind and what we love and hate about ourselves. You can see more, below." That last reference is to the ten photographs of the artist's work that are included in this review. Definitely a substantial review. I believe the source is Vice Media. Bus stop ( talk) 12:21, 20 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Also, this extensive review addresses Hall as an artist, especially the dissimilarity as well as the connections between the two styles of work he has produced—photographs of people and photographs of landscapes/seascapes. I think this is a serious review that attempts to probe the significance of the output of the artist. Bus stop ( talk) 13:05, 20 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment he is not listed in the CHIN (Canadian Heritage Information Network) list of " Artists in Canada", which is a pretty easy way of determining ballpark notability, by seeing if any of the contributing "Twenty-three libraries and art galleries" across Canada have a file on him. If 23 libraries and galleries do not see him as notable enough to start a file, I am not sure why we should. They do have 42,700 other artists listed. 96.127.242.226 ( talk) 02:13, 21 July 2018 (UTC) reply
"I am not sure why we should" I think we should. Sources take the artist seriously. Recognition is accorded the artist in the sources available to us. The author, RM Vaughn, focusses on three reviews in this source. The first of the three is that of Stev´nn Hall, and the headline derives from the work of Stev´nn Hall, reading "Electric skyscapes are a kick in the head". That is a reference to the two different styles in which the artist works. This is mentioned in the body of the review. One style involves human figures, in aggressive poses. The other involves landscapes, in which are sometimes found fiery skies. This is not a superficial review. It touches upon not only the significance of the work but the techniques used to bring the work about. This alone could establish notability. This source importantly includes what look to me as ten good quality photographs to represent some of the photographer's work. It characterizes him as a mixed media artist, something our article should mention. Vice Media, the publisher of this review, is a well-regarded source. This is a well-written and thoughtful review. Though not easily quantifiable, that is something we should be looking for, to establish notability. Bus stop ( talk) 02:56, 21 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nomination. Cannot locate significant evidence of Wikinotability. On an altogether different issue, I agree with some commentary above insinuating subject's artistic merit. - The Gnome ( talk) 09:10, 22 July 2018 (UTC) reply
The artist has won significant critical attention. Both of the sources that I've commented upon at length constitute "significant critical attention". Could the attention be more significant? Of course. But the above is adequate to establish that this is a serious artist working long-term in a well-defined area who has garnered a modicum of recognition. Wikipedia has standards of notability but when they are met you can't keep demanding more. Our standard should not be understood to only include only stodgy well-accepted artists but also those whose careers are relatively new. When an artist's name is the key factor that makes the artwork good, that artist is already a has-been. On the other hand the artist whose work alone is the key to whatever meager degree of success they have achieved, and whose name is unknown—that would be my idea of a "non-stodgy" artist. We have ample indication in sources that the work of this artist is beginning to open up doors. Both of the above sources are prominent reviews of this emerging artist's work. Our notability standards are not specific as to what degree of prominence is adequate but we can use common sense. On a separate note I can't tell what you are referring to by "some commentary above insinuating subject's artistic merit. What is that a reference to? Do you mean on the part of sources or on the part of editors? Bus stop ( talk) 12:17, 22 July 2018 (UTC) reply
The subject's artistic merit has been insinuated by editors. Namely, you. You see, I may agree that some subject is notable in real life, but this does not mean I automatically believe the subject is also Wikinotable. This encyclopaedia has its own rules. Within which, verifiability through the testimony of reliable sources is a paramount one. And since Wikipedia accepts sources rather than personal testimony, and established sources more than non-established ones, it figures that Wikipedia would be perforce slanted towards more "stodgy well-accepted artists" and fewer artists "whose careers are relatively new." So, Wikipedia will never be the encyclopaedia of (or even a guide for) the Avant-Guarde. I have fully accepted this state of affairs; and you should too, I think, for the sake of your peace of mind. - The Gnome ( talk) 14:04, 22 July 2018 (UTC) reply

The fact is that Bombay is now a valid unincorporated and loosely defined Jersey City neighborhood, to which the article's multiple editors have already attested consensus. That consensus itself meets the article's Wikipedia standard for being. Castncoot ( talk) 18:31, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • A core Wikipedia standard is WP:Verifiability as proven by reliable sources, not the assertions of two Wikipedia editors. The article's references don't support the concept of "Bombay" as neighborhood in Jersey City. And it is not for Wikipedia to push that concept on the world without proof of notability. • Gene93k ( talk) 23:46, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • It's actually not two, but three editors, all independent, and all with robust New Jersey topic experience. If someone without New Jersey topic experience has a problem with a particular statement, then the appropriate action would be to place a citation needed tag onto that statement - that is the usual Wikipedia protocol - not to request wiping out an entire article due to their own topical inexperience.

  • I haven't looked into this enough to vote on it yet, but this sounds like a WP:OR issue.

None of these "reliable sources" state that the neighborhood is known as "Bombay". Re your claims about New Jersey experience, please note that Wikipedia is not a "crowd sourced" encyclopedia but rather is a reliably sourced encyclopedia.-- regentspark ( comment) 21:49, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete none of the articles I've seen reference the neighborhood directly or indirectly, and I can't find any sources on my own which reference it in a WP:BEFORE search. I can't find any reliable sources which show it's an actual defined neighborhood. SportingFlyer talk 21:05, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Seems to fail WP:GEOLAND. The references do not list this neighborhood by name, and while I am seeing references to it at DuckDuckGo, nothing is jumping out at me to indicate that this is notable. There are mentions of the Indian-American population of Jersey City, but that's nothing that can't be covered in the city's own article. Actually, while we can't use it as a WP:RS, I do see a YouTube video with a description saying that this is the same as India Square, in which case this would be a duplicate article.

There is a source (from the India Square article) that Little India is located in the Jersey City neighborhood of "Little Bombay." Kiniry, Laura.

That, at best, merits a line in the India Square article (with the qualified term "Little Bombay"). Not the creation of a new neighborhood "Bombay, NJ". (Using a better source than a travel guide, which are not generally considered reliable.)-- regentspark ( comment) 02:18, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply
That's where we beg to differ. They are two different entities. India Square is simply the center of Bombay, or New Bombay, or Little Bombay, as people in the area are referring to the encompassing neighborhood these days. Each entity is entitled to its article with reliable sources, and travel guides are not barred as WP:RS. Castncoot ( talk) 05:07, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply
OK, now it's reliably sourced, with an ISBN number. Thanks to User:Irehdna for pointing this out. Castncoot ( talk) 05:17, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Thanks also to User:Tinton5 for appropriately making the correct move from "Bombay, NJ" to "Bombay, Jersey City". That's the other point that User:RegentsPark appears to be missing. Castncoot ( talk) 05:22, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Castncoot, could you please give the exact text from the source that mentions Little Bombay that clarifies where the boundaries of this neighborhood are? Thanks. -- regentspark ( comment) 20:37, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Mergeto India Square, does not require separate article. Djflem ( talk) 20:47, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Unlike British neighborhoods, many U.S. neighborhoods, especially within major cities, do not in fact have boundaries. New York City is a prime example of that. One might say they're in either Forest Hills or in Rego Park in Queens, and they wouldn't necessarily be wrong either way. One might also say they're in Kips Bay or in Rose Hill in Manhattan, and they wouldn't necessarily be wrong either way. But note that each of these has a separate Wikipedia page. In the U.S., unincorporated neighborhoods in major cities are often (though not always) loosely and culturally defined. The salient point for Wikipedia is notability. The source succinctly and reliably states that Little India ( India Square) lies within the Jersey City neighborhood of Little Bombay. In other words, India Square is a micro-neighborhood within the macro-neighborhood of Bombay, Jersey City, which Wikipage is only two months old and needs time to develop, but in fact was vetted, reviewed, and even moved from Bombay, New Jersey to Bombay, Jersey City. Also note that the West Village is a micro-neighborhood within the macro-neighborhood of Greenwich Village, both in turn within Manhattan, but neither the West Village nor Greenwich Village has clearly defined boundaries - they are more loosely and culturally defined.

{{ping}Castncoot}}, it would be helpful if you would provide the exact quote from the source so that we can make an informed judgement. For your Manhattan examples above, we have plenty of sources while there does seem to be a paucity of sources for Little Bombay (and none, if I may say, for Bombay) so a full quotation would be helpful. Thanks. -- regentspark ( comment) 23:27, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply

If one prefers a merge to Marion Section instead of India Square would be more appropriate since the area includes the parts of the Journal Square district just north of the square itself and most of the area west of it, including Newark Avenue. Djflem ( talk) 05:37, 17 July 2018 (UTC) reply

I think a reference to "Little Bombay" is probably ok since a google search [12] throws up articles that use that term synonymously with India Square, even though none qualify as RS (and I still haven't seen the actual text from the Moon guide). However, Bombay seems totally egregious and made up to me and should not appear anywhere on Wikipedia. At best, a line in India Square along the lines of sometimes called "Little India" or "Little Bombay" may be appropriate. -- regentspark ( comment) 13:39, 17 July 2018 (UTC) reply
This is where topic experience is critical, User:RegentsPark. The *fact* is that, as User:Irehdna pointed out, India Square lies within Bombay/New Bombay/Little Bombay. To complicate things further, as User:Djflem has validly pointed out, the loosely defined Bombay neighborhood has now also sprawled over into the Marion Section of Jersey City as well. So RegentsPark's proposal is not acceptable (because it's now factually incorrect), even if it may have had validity as recently as ten years ago. India Square connotes the commercial center of Bombay/New Bombay/Little Bombay, which in turn represents more of a cultural zone encompassing both India Square and the Journal Square areas. We cannot be telling Wikipedia readers that 2+2=5. I believe that the correct solution here is to develop this article properly to reflect these intricacies as well as vagaries. The way I see it, deleting an article is simply a copout as a way to avoid necessary work. Castncoot ( talk) 01:57, 18 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Perhaps that's true, but I haven't seen a single source which supports that assertion, and undefined neighborhoods are held to the WP:GNG standard per WP:GEOLAND. In the absence of any reliable sources this is a clear delete or merge. SportingFlyer talk 04:20, 18 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Exactly. @ Castncoot: you need to find reliable sources for your assertions otherwise we, i.e., Wikipedia, will be creating new neighborhoods out of nothing (once again, we are not a crowd sourced site). Reliable sourcing is a core policy for a very good reason and no sources for Bombay exist. Little Bombay does seem to be used as an alternative name for India Square, though you still haven't provided the text of that source, so that can be stated in the India Square article. But creating an article on Bombay, New Jersey (or Jersey City) merely on the basis of "topic experience" is not acceptable. -- regentspark ( comment) 22:21, 18 July 2018 (UTC) reply
What Djflem is pointing out is that this article should be redirected to India Square or Marion Section, of which India Square is part with the proper citation in the article as opposed to creating new articles such a Koreatown, Palisades and Koreatown, Fort Lee, which give a name that is not really in use to communities large concentrations of an ethnic group, but rather use existing names and article and expand on those. That's the work. Djflem ( talk) 22:38, 18 July 2018 (UTC) reply

WP:TOOSOON article about a state gubernatorial election that's more than four years away as of today -- there's literally nothing of substance to say about this yet except that it's going to happen, and the only source being cited here is an unreliable blog entry about the incumbent governor predicting that he'll serve for at least ten years, not reliable or notability-supporting media coverage of the 2022 election as a thing that anybody's paying attention to yet.

  • Delete per both WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL. Only one unreliable source cited. Incumbent is not even officially known and won't be until November. Having this article before then is pure speculation. Tillerh11 ( talk) 18:58, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply
And even then, the incumbent could still resign or die, or choose not to run again sometime in the next four years, or try to run again in 2022 but lose the primary.

Who also made the decision that service areas in Britain (but no other country) were generally notable? If it was on the basis of an outcome of a mass AfD (which was always going to end up as a trainwreck) then the fallback should consider reliable sources if there are any.

Some nim-come-poop (not directed at anyone in particular) is probably going to come along and say but, but, but, that's all local coverage and there's nothing special about this place! and to that I challenge them to take a random sample of 50 articles from each of these categories: Category:Public high schools in California, Category:Cities in Florida, and Category:Prisons in Texas. How many of them are run-of-the-mill subjects that just barely meet WP:GNG (or, perhaps in you opinion, don't meet WP:GNG at all)? WP:OTHERSTUFF? Read over that argument closely before you cite it. The argument here isn't that one, two, ten, or even one hundred articles exist, the point is three quarters or more of Wikipedia content exists. If we nuke all of it, it won't just be Wikipedians noticing and talking about the mass removal of pages about little towns, moderately sized cities, schools, hospitals, etc. I point back to WP:NOTPAPER, and also to WP:IAR.

  • Keep - there are more than enough sources cited here to show notability. The last RfC on school notability said virtually nothing...even its proposer disavowed it in his RfA. All it said was you couldn't claim OUTCOMES alone as a reason to keep. However, that too has been completely ignored. Guidelines here are dictated by the community, not some bureaucratic action like an RfC. Forever, the notability of secondary schools has been weighed against a standard much closer to WP:PLACE than WP:ORG. We have an RfC roughly every two years on this subject, and no matter the outcome, the standard at AfD remains most accurately reflected by WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. In short, actions speak much louder than words. John from Idegon ( talk) 18:58, 16 July 2018 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus. As with many school AfDs, the arguments come down to, Lack of independent sources vs, But we keep schools.

  • Keep - We keep high schools for the very good reason that experience shows that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a very poor tool for finding sources on Indian schools because, unlike US schools for example, they don't dump everything on the Internet. Indeed, very few have much of an Internet presence at all. We must avoid systemic bias and allow time for local sources to be researched since no evidence has been adduced that this school cannot meet notability requirements.

So Just Chilling, you want to make a point that you have more "experience" in this subject area than a person who lives in Calcutta itself ? Just FYI, all major dallies be it Bengali, English, etc native to this metropolitan region, have a strong presence on the internet itself. The only two sources found up-till now lack even the depth needed for a decent DYK criteria article. The first from Times of India Nie reads like a press release, the second is MILL coverage about two kids getting into fight that turned ugly. If you are such a firm believer in with enough research, sources can invariably be found, I ask you to get your hands dirty and instead of passing comments on my inability to do a through WP:BEFORE , try and find some of those excellent source you have mentioned above. If you however cannot I would request you to refactor your comment to reflect the same Thanks. —  F R+ 18:02, 11 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. About 90% of the time even in the most recent year we have kept verifiable high schools, on the basis that they form a reasonable exception-and the purpose for making them an exception is not just thatthey usually can be sourced with enough effort, and make suitable articles for beginners, but even more important, to avoid the potential thousands of debates such as this, which will , based on experience, come out essentially random. There's avirtue in consistency; there's a virtue in not making decisions that have no basis except the people who happen to show up for the discussion and how much effort they want to devote to the argument. (and when the argument, as here, seems to rely on personal knowledge that it is or is not important in its community, that's all the mroe reason. The claim that a person from the city doesn't think them notable and should therefore have the last word can be used to keep or delete almost anything.--its a classic IDONTLIKEIT/IDOLIKEIT argument.

@ User:Ceyockey This mention in newspapers.com is just a trivial passing mention, so is this one. Then there are the quarterly financial reports used as sources. The source you mention from Science Translational Medicine is a blog.

I presume, Ceyockey, you're addressing me rather than User:CAPTAIN RAJU. Briefly, the label " promotional" is based on the use of weaselly words and phrases in the contested article such as: "focused on"; "this new opportunity"; "tethering", without explanation (the source cited does not explain, while the DCC article itself is unsatisfactory, so the user is left staring at just an impressive sounding word); etc. Plus, this being an article indirectly about scientific subjects ( chemistry, biology), we need explanations for the terms used, otherwise, again, the user is left just staring at impressive wordage. For example, "...helping leukemia patients with a C481S mutation". What's "C4815"? And what it means to be a mutation of it? Admittedly, the sum does not constitute something highly promotional, but when it comes to articles about corporations, we must be vigilant. In any case, the bigger problem here is lack of notability; weasels can be run out. - The Gnome ( talk) 05:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
sorry for the mis-direction, @ The Gnome. I don't think I added any of the promotional-signals, and all of these can be addressed.

  • Delete fails WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH, the latter in particular.

  • Delete for all of them. probably promotional or fan pages. Jtbobwaysf ( talk) 09:00, 30 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep All and improve each through the normal editing process, or assess individually. This massive group nomination shows a deficient WP:BEFORE search for each individual album and for the group collectively. The nominator also missed WP:NEXIST, which states that the current absence of sources in an article is not proof that sources do not exist at all, and that editors should search for them and add them going forward. Of the 13 albums in the nomination, 8 have reviews at AllMusic which can be found easily. The following do not have AllMusic reviews: You'll Never Beat the Irish, As Gaeilge, The Foggy Dew (album), The Troubles (Wolfe Tones album), and 'Till Ireland a Nation. Of that group, The Troubles (Wolfe Tones album) received one possibly useful review that I could find ( [41]), and I could find nothing for the other four. Those five albums could be subjected to this AfD process individually but that is not a good reason to condemn the band's entire discography through this collective nomination. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 18:37, 1 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep all. Per Doomsdayer520, I don't see that WP:BEFORE has been met here. Even if it were found that some individual subjects do not meet WP:NALBUM (to the extent that the content was to be deleted), some of the titles themselves would seem appropriate to at least retain as a redirect (to the extent that the titles would seem appropriate to keep). If we get to that point, The Wolfe Tones discography would seem a viable target. Otherwise, the individual articles should be individually assessed. And, at quick glance, per Doomsdayer520, at least some of the albums listed have been the subject of non-trivial reviews/coverage. Short of evidence of WP:BEFORE on each of them, I don't see how I could support the "delete them all" recommendation. (Separately, I would note that all of these articles were created by the same [now] blocked user. And nominated shortly after that user was blocked. I'm not saying its the case here, and while it sometimes seem like it perhaps should be, "the author is a dick" is not a valid AfD rationale.) Guliolopez ( talk) 20:21, 2 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: Why else I would create this if it wasn't notable enough. And I dont think so it fails Wikipedia notability issue. And this is certainly not an ordinary incident. It has a sufficient coverage to be included in the wikipedia. Nauriya Lets Talk 19:14 30 June 2018 (UTC).
I'm sure as the creator you think it's notable enough but this is not about your personal opinion but notability guidelines. For an event to be notable it has to have significant non routine coverage over a period of time. All the sources date from a period of a few days as one would expect of any murder. The last source you have added dates from 10 days ago. This suggests that it has no long lasting notability. There are thousands of murders reported every day we only create articles about notable events. This murder is a tragedy but as it says in WP:NEVENT Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.

  • Delete Sad story, but doesn't look like it meets notability requirements at WP:CRIME. Neither the victim nor the perpetrator were notable in their own rights, nor was the crime particularly noteworthy. Also, given that the trial hasn't even taken place and the perpetrator is living and therefore falls under BLP guidelines, the note in WP:CRIME certainly applies: "Note: A living person accused of a crime is presumed not guilty unless and until the contrary is decided by a court of law. Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured." If this crime turns out to have enduring significance, it may need an article at some point, but at this point it is WP:TOOSOON to assume it will be anything other than an unfortunate criminal event. PohranicniStraze ( talk) 06:08, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per WP:RAPID. Fairly wide international coverage for a murder in Pakistan. The question as this point is whether such coverage will be LASTING and SUSTAINED - however we can not evaluate this at this without a crystal ball at this point, hence RAPID. Icewhiz ( talk) 13:43, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
I don't think RAPID applies here as it says delay for a few days after the event has taken place. This event happened more than a month ago so it is no longer breaking news. NEVENT clearly states that routine events such as crimes are usually not notable unless something further gives them enduring notability. This murder took place over a month ago and no other sources have been added beyond the initial reporting of the crime. Dom from Paris ( talk) 23:57, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
There are a number of features to this murder that make it notable (e.g. it being filmed). Most murders in Pakistan receive scant local coverage. This one has been receiving international coverage for a few news cycles - for some time after the event. With the coverage so far. There is enough coverage for notability - the question is whether it will be SUSTAINED. Icewhiz ( talk) 02:41, 9 July 2018 (UTC) reply
As I said in my reply to the article creator all the sources date from a few days as one would expect from a murder and then dry up. The last one was dated from nearly 3 weeks ago. The only possibly notable element was the fact this was filmed but beyond the voyeuristic element of this murder having been posted on the web and the novelty factor for a source to be able to post actual images of the crime there are no other reasons why this murder got coverage and as all the sources are single reports about the event I cannot see the proof that this was reported over more than 1 news cycle. As per NEVENT it doesn't matter if events were widely reported at the time it is the sustainability that matters. Half of the sources are not signed and come from either "web desk" or "news desk" or some such, and one is signed by a "trainee social media journalist". If there were follow up in depth reports from the same sources this may point to notability but there are none. Dom from Paris ( talk) 06:22, 9 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Those who cite RAPID tend to ignore the entirety of our notability guidelines for events and their argument falls apart when you analyze it. Saying LASTING cannot be evaluated is another way of telling the closer there is ‘’no’’ lasting impact. Hence, it was too soon to create this article, as the other half of RAPID (“don’t ‘’rush’’ to create articles”) explicitly describes. The notability guidelines also warns us violent crimes are excellent for the media, but the encyclopedia has different criteria we follow with much higher standards for inclusion.

This isn't the first one of these cryptid stubs at AFD, and I generally approach them – fairly or not – with the initial assumption that they will be contrived, pseudoscientific dreck backed up by fringe sources, if anything at all. To my surprise, this appears to be a legitimate folklore topic. The best source is Man, Fishes, and the Amazon, which dedicated a couple of pages to the creature's mythology and folklore.

Saying it "doesn't apply to novels or games" seems questionable when it explicitly covers "web content". Whether "web content" covers downloadable Steam games is an open question as far as I can tell, but it definitely covers at least some novels and games that exist only on some guy's website, which is presumably why it doesn't explicitly exclude "novels and games". Hijiri 88 ( やや) 04:48, 21 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Also, I'm inclined to agree with ECoV in questioning the reliability of the source: an earlier article on the same topic, by the same author for the same publication, included the bizarre claim that the game brings together Taiwanese elements and aboriginal culture (!? does he mean Australian aboriginal? if he meant Taiwanese aboriginal, that would be redundant...) and appears to have sloppily conflated new Taiwan dollars with USD, since 1,000,000 USD to crowdfund a non-animated visual novel is a phenomenal amount and would raise questions of scamming, while 1,000,000 TWD is not all that impressive despite the language the article used. (Granted, FlyingV.cc might measure things in USD, and the game might be a visual extravaganza of a gaming experience that really did cost that much to make, but...) Hijiri 88 ( やや) 05:07, 21 July 2018 (UTC) reply
BTdubs, the best source I could find discussing the game was this, but appears to be more about Taiwanese culture and history in general, with the reporter taking with credulity everything his interviewees said with regard to the content of the game since the game was not apparently out yet. We can't just say the game incorporates elements of Taiwanese aboriginal mythology (as opposed to being "inspired by" it, which usually means there is little to no relation) just because the game's producers said so, since (even per the report in question) said producers knew nothing about said mythology prior to doing research for the game.

  • Delete. This work and the earlier its 2012 predecessor quotes Innes 1998 and/or Kellaway 2002, and This source is from 2007. The ultimate source appears to be either Innes or The Torture Museum -- This shows it at the Museum back to at least 1999. This work explicitly dismisses Innes as "the least reliable recent source". The Museum also exhibits the chastity belt and the iron maiden and the pear of anguish, which makes their adherence to truth over sensation [44] questionable, and I could find no real use of the terms "Spaccaginocchio" or "Quebranta Rodilla" via gbooks/scholar. this non-RS takes them apart. Even if the device shown at the museum did happen to be of genuine medieval origin, there's no indication that it has individual notability (rather than being an example of a putative instrument of torture). There's no in-depth coverage of it, but hypothetically if there were more ample reliable sources found prior to the 1990s, then merge/redirect to list would be best.

@ BananaBaron: Sure, provided that reliable sources can be found to identify them as hoaxes (for example see iron maiden). I suspect that it would be better, however, to include both historical and ahistorical ones in separate lists on the same article to help spread explicitly identified good information and to keep the incorrect ones from being added to the historical ones.

This is such a bizarre coincidence.

  • Delete. Eastmain is incorrect about how NMEDIA works — we do not routinely keep every article that merely claims that its topic exists as a radio station, but rather radio stations have to meet all four of four conditions to get articles: (1) they originate at least a portion of their own programming schedule in their own studios rather than existing purely as a rebroadcaster of another service, (2) they are licensed by the relevant regulatory authority rather than operating as a Part 15 or pirate station, (3) they are actually on the air and not just an unlaunched construction permit that exists only on paper, and (4) all three of those facts are reliably sourceable. We've had a lot of hoax articles created over the years about radio stations that didn't really exist, or that falsely claimed a license they didn't have or programming they didn't produce — so the notability test for a radio station is not just "the article says it exists", but "the article can be properly sourced as meeting all of the conditions for the notability of a radio station". And this is not properly sourced as meeting any of them. NMEDIA most certainly does not exempt a media outlet from having to be properly referenced to be considered notable.

The result was keep. I am closing this early per WP:SNOW.
I can understand the argument for deletion, as it's an argument I've sympathized with in the past. To summarize it, Wikipedia is not a newspaper, and this means that there are some topics which may be "newsworthy" but not "encyclopedia-worthy". A topic is not necessarily suitable for a standalone article even if it has received significant coverage in a lot of reliable newspapers (the WP:N lead states that an article must both meet WP:GNG and not be excluded by WP:NOT). Instead, to determine encyclopedic notability, we look at things like lasting significance and persistence of coverage.
However, with that being said, these are not things that we can necessarily determine soon after an event takes place. There is a broad consensus here that given the extent and breadth of the coverage about this topic, it is reasonable to keep this article and allow it to develop for the time being. Many editors also argued that the extent and breadth of the coverage indicates that it is more than merely newsworthy, and even those who sympathize with the deletion argument have suggested valid alternatives to deletion, such as merging to Protests against Donald Trump or rewriting the article so that it is more about the events/protests in which the balloon was flown.
For these reasons, I believe that at this time, there is no real chance that this discussion will result in any other outcome besides "keep". For the same reasons, I do not recommend starting something like a merge discussion in the weeks immediately after this discussion is closed.

    • As the Trump Baby has been used in protests in Edinburgh, it cannot be merged into a text about the London protest alone. The fact is that this is not a one-event thing mime, and it seems likely that the balloon is going to tour elsewhere. -- ( talk) 08:18, 15 July 2018 (UTC) reply

@ Winkelvi: It would have been better if you had proposed renaming the article to Protests against Donald Trump's 2018 visit to London or something like that.

  • Speedy keep This AfD is now disruptivecounter-productive, stopping the colloborative process dead in its tracks.

TITANIIC

TITANIIC is another Replica Titanic project that does not appear to have advanced beyond the proposal stage as there is no formal announcement of a signed shipyard contract. If falls into WP:CRYSTAL as there is no clear fundraising strategy to raise the hundreds of millions of dollars. So it is very unlikely to ever get built.

It has serious WP:VERIFIABILITY citation issues as the inline citations are in Czech. Any English language online references to the project appear to be Wikimirrors. I ran the Czech web sites cited through Google translate and they appear to be interviews with the project leader on sites that have minimal fact checking and/or editorial oversight. To give one example, the machine translation quoted the project leader as claiming that QM2 designer Stephen Payne was working for his project for free. Nor have I found any independent source to support his claim of shipyard STX France having an official business partnership with the TITANIIC project. The organization also fails WP:ORG for notability as it has no coverage beyond the Czech web sites and there is no inherit notability by claiming a connection with a notable naval architect or comparison to the Clive Palmer Titanic II. Finally, there is serious WP:COI by the page creating editor whose name also appears on their web site as a staff employee. Merging this article into Replica Titanic still would not address the verifiability problems. This organization appears to be a dream by a promoter who has built a very nice web site but has no engineering team, realistic fund raising strategy, or idea who would operate the ship. Wikipedia is not a free publicity site to give legitimacy to a fund raising cause. Blue Riband► 00:28, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: If we were to use steel cut as a criteria for inclusion then an entire category, Cancelled ships of the United States Navy, would be up for AfD. Then do we do about the USS United States (CVA-58) which had its keel laid only to have it broken up when funding was withdrawn? If there is widespread notable press and industry coverage in reliable sources then it would meet WP:Notability regardless of our personal opinions of the project sponsors. Blue Riband► 02:45, 14 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Steel cut occurs before keel laying; sometimes by many months. (See MSC Seaside for an example.) Comments on the two Princess Kaguya AfDs linked above advocated for keel laying as the trigger for an article, which is more stringent a standard. As to notability: widespread publicity, is not the sole criterion to be met for an article to appear on Wiki; the project must be reasonably certain to take place, per WP:CRYSTAL.
