Non-notable kickboxer. Doesn't meet any of the notability standards for kickboxers. The WAKO events were amateur ones which the notability standards specifically say don't show notability. Coverage does not meet the GNG since it consists of event information and announcements, a Facebook link, and something from a blog.

Delete Her kickboxing recrod doesn't meet
WP:NKICK nor does she meet
WP:GNG. Except for event announcements, the only coverage seems to be that three people from Sikkim will be going to the WAKO world amateur championships (along with 37 other Indians and thousands of other competitors). There's no mention of her having success at that event, and even if she did, it wouldn't meet any
WP:NKICK notability criteria. The "World Martial Arts Masterships" also doesn't convey notability and there's no evidence of what she accomplished (not that it matters). Competing in, or even winning, events that don't convey notability doesn't make someone notable.

Non-notable wrestler. Best finish in NCAA Division 3 was fourth. I don't believe a Division 3 All-American (of which there are 8 in each weight class) is enough to show notability. Only references are links to his college's hall of fame and a county hall of fame. Doesn't meet the GNG,
WP:NCOLLATH, or
WP:NSPORTS.

Non-notable karateka. I found no mention of her at the WKF's website or records of her competing at the Asian Games. The Hindu article says she would be competing at the 2013 world championships, but the WKF has its world championships in even numbered years. It also says she qualified for the 2014 Asian Games, but there's no record of her competing there. The U.S. Open event is literally open to all so she wouldn't be representing India--you just fill out an entry form, there's no qualifying. Even if she did win, it wouldn't show notability and given all the dubious claims in this article I have my doubts. Given the 2012 WKF championships in Paris had nearly 1500 entries, simply competing there wouldn't show notability. The references given don't show notability and the claims contained in them seem to have lots of errors.

Given the factual errors in the article, lack of evidence for meeting any martial arts notability criteria, and lack of significant reliable independent coverage, I see nothing that supports keeping this article.

Potential
hoax. I didn't find any reliable sources on the matter with Google, but I'm not that concerned about that given its non-Western nature. What's more concerning for me is the fact that the Chinese-language Wikipedia doesn't have its own article on the topic. I even checked the Chinese Wikipedia (w/ a machine translation, admittedly) in case someone had forgotten to add it to the "Languages" sidebar and still nothing came up. Even if it turns out that this isn't a hoax, I think we can/should redirect this to the Jin Dynasty article.

Delete This article is
WP:SYNTH, prohibited by policy, with a dash of
WP:MADEUP and/or
WP:NEO. None of the sources contain the phrase "deep voice privilege" or even "privilege". Two of the sources discuss the same Duke study that found a correlation between voice pitch and CEO pay, in which, again, the term is not used. Another source is literally (or was literally, before it apparently became a malware site) a "How to Get a Deeper Voice" product promo site. The final source simply talks about differences in voice pitch. "Deep voice privilege" is not a term that JSTOR finds, so the fundamental claim of the article fails
WP:V. And, judging by the (unreliable) sources found via Google search that discuss the term almost entirely in a sarcastic and mocking way, this article seems to be an attempt to parody and belittle other kinds of "privilege" articles. There's no reason Wikipedia should participate in this effort, and it's disappointing to see any editor !voting keep here.

A largely promotional article on a non-notable performer. The sources being used in the article are pretty useless for establishing notability. One is not even about the individual, and the other is a defunct link to a "Fly by Night" entertainment, which appears to have just been a booking agency.

I'm bringing this to AfD for the following reason: Yesterday this was an unsourced stub that made no sense. I PRODed it and another editor deprodded it and added back in a lot of material from an earlier version that substantially increased its length and provided refs. My concern is that in previous months there have been a number of articles at AfD about Indian castes, which if I recall correctly were all deleted as the sources were regarded as unreliable. This article looks like another one in a long run of similar articles using the same sources. Perhaps editors who have taken part in previous AfD discussions in the field or have expert knowledge could indicate whether this should be kept or not.

WP:GOOGLEHITS says, "a lack of search engine hits may only indicate that the topic is highly specialized or not generally sourceable via the internet" - in the case of Baid, the group is so obscure that I could find no references to Baid as a caste, only to baid as agricultural highland - there is a caste called
Baidya, but they are in a different area - therefore, does not meet

The result was redirect to
RuPaul's Drag Race (season 6). Numerically, a close call, but considering the previous AfD, the amount of socking, and the fact that arguments for keeping failed to explain how this meets
WP:N, I'm going to revert this back to the redirect from the last AfD. --

The amount of sources, the amount of media appearances and the amount of fans and following is THE EXACT SAME of most if not all of the other RPDR queens with pages.

Redirect- I'm not putting in bold because I haven't done another BEFORE but it appears there's no new element to suggest notability since we were here about 6 months ago (when I did do a full BEFORE). At that time there wasn't coverage about Carrion there was coverage about Ru Paul's Drag Race where Carrion was mentioned. As such I'm not seeing any new evidence to suggest that it shouldn't have the same outcome as with the first nomination. Best,

Delete. Non-notable individual. I'm a little concerned about the coverage for RPDR in general - it seems we have a few very passionate fans of the show who are very hard at work covering every aspect of the show here on Wikipedia. A lot of it is
WP:FANCRUFT, which is all well and good at
rupaulsdragrace.fandom.com, but it doesn't belong here. As well as the contestants, there have recently been some articles for individual episodes created which I'm pretty sure don't meet the notability guidelines. I'm also a little concerned about the wikiproject. I know
this isn't quite
WP:CANVASSING, but it could certainly skew the discussion and lead to
WP:VOTESTACKING. --

I'll also add that this is not someone who was just on the show and didn't have a career afterwards. The person was on at least three TV shows, in a movie, and has been in music videos. I'll admit that I do think there is too much information on her time on Drag Race; we don't need to record that she won a sewing challenge. But it's flat out wrong to say that she isn't notable.

Only claim to notability was winning a contest for a role on a local daytime talk show. Only one RS article, regarding that contest. Emmys cited were regional (not national) Emmys, and he was an Editor on a large team ( and not in a major/lead role) for those. Article appears to have been originally created by a
WP:UPE firm.

KeepBubbaJoe123456 As per WP:NOT What you are stating is not fact it is your opinion. You are saying that he didn't have a significant/lead role. He wrote, directed and as well as produced multiple shows for NBC.
As per WP:NPOV You stated he was an “Editor on a large team (not major/lead role)” He was never listed as an editor and what constitutes a “large team”? That term is subjective and thus not neutral.
As per WP:RSP
He was the correspondent for a NATIONAL TV show called "Good Day Live" not a local show as you state, so that is a false statement. You have stated that he was an editor which is completely wrong. He was a producer and a supervising producer nominated for two other Emmy awards. As sourced in the links below.
As per WP:CITEIMDB IMDB *CAN* be also be used as a secondary and tertiary source of other verified sources. IMDB awards require 3rd party site verification such as links to the NATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS & SCIENCES website with the nominations and wins for Emmy awards can also be checked.
Comment For his two regional (not national) Emmys, he was a Field Producer/Videographer for the first (misread it, not editor, but still not a showrunner/leadership role) on a team with at least 14 people, and a Segment Producer (misread it, not editor, but still not a showrunner/leadership role) on a team of at least 11 for the second. Again, these are regional awards, not national, so their contribution to notability is dubious at best.

Comment I'm not going to !vote here because (being in Europe) I can't view all of the sources. The article's current sourcing is a real mess -
BubbaJoe123456 is right, the only source that might come close to
WP:RS is the NYPost article, which I can't read. Stuff like IMDB is
UGC, it's not considered when assessing notability. University newspapers and the like are also generally excluded (since they have an obvious interest in puffing their alumni). What was should be looking for is significant coverage in independent reliable sources that would get him over
WP:GNG - I'm not seeing that in the links provided by
Ramniram above, and I'm not finding any using Google, but it's possible that a careful search with different search terms might throw something up (his apparent preference for intials rather than a first name makes searching a bit more complicated.)

Comment There was a discussion elsewhere about Wiki and this conversation was referenced as an example of the editing process. I'm finding it curious that this page is flagged, as so many other Wikipedia pages are about people with far fewer notable accomplishments. Joe Brown was a minor league ball player (
/info/en/?search=Joe_Brown_(third_baseman)). Clicking on 'random article' from the Wiki page told me that "Canadian New Zealanders" are people from New Zealand who came from Canada - and lists a few. Given that Wikipedia is a mix of interesting of both little known and extremely relevant facts, it seems odd that someone would suggest that this page is less deserving than others. I don't live in the NY area so I wouldn't have seen any local NY TV. But yet, I was familar with "Good Day Live" from national syndication. It's easy to find proof that it was national (
https://www.radiodiscussions.com/showthread.php?705229-Retro-Lexington-NC-Tuesday-May-18-2004) so it's odd that anyone would dismiss it as a "role on a local daytime talk show". I don't remember the show being very good, but it was certainly more than a local NY daytime show. The page appears to have verifiable information. Why should it bother anyone that it's here?

Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they have not yet won — and neither her age nor her gender automatically make her a special case over and above most other candidates, because if she loses there won't be any enduring interest in those distinctions anymore. To already be eligible for an article today, she would need to be able to show that she was already notable enough for an article for some other reason (e.g. as a writer, as an actress, as an athlete, etc.) besides running as a candidate. Obviously if she wins the seat, then an article about her can be recreated at that time as her notability claim will have changed from candidate to actual officeholder — but holding it in draftspace isn't necessary in the meantime, as we also have the ability to restore deleted articles in the future if things change. We do not keep candidate articles pending the election results just because the candidate might win — we wait until the ballots have been counted, and only then do we start articles about the people who did win.

The result was merge to
National Wrestling Federation. There's been some weird process here. In particular, please don't
move drafts to mainspace just so you can nominate them for deletion. If you think a draft should be deleted, nominate it in-place via
WP:MfD. But, more to the point, if you think something is not notable, don't even make it into a draft. Drafts are for things you expect to develop into real articles.
There's obviously disagreement about how this topic should be covered. There's clear consensus of the participants in this AfD that the 1986-1994 material should be covered in the main article, hence the merge.
Moab12 obviously disagrees, and since
K.e.coffman declined the draft, he apparently disagrees that it's notable on its own. So, after the merge, I suggest everybody get over to
Talk:National Wrestling Federation and hash out their concerns. This is fundamentally a content dispute, which AfD doesn't get involved with. If you can't come to consensus on the talk page, availing yourselves of

WP:Notability under
WP:NRV: there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability. For example, the sources used to mention being a Fellow of The Optical Society are from MIT (the subject's employer) and the OSA itself. Neither of these sources are independent of Kolodziejski, have a clear
vested interest in them, are
promotional in nature, and so notability is not established using them. Also, although somewhat downplayed,

A non-independent source would be Leslie Kolodziejski writing about herself, or a close associate/family member writing a self-published text. The OSA is a large professional society; they do not have an "axe to grind" when it comes to Kolodziesjki, and stating which scientists the OSA conferred a fellowship upon is not self-promotion by Kolodziejski, nor by the OSA; it is a simple statement of fact.

KeepNotability is not a core policy, as the nomination mistakenly says. It's not even a

WP:BLP concerns here regarding sourcing and use of sources. I don't think she passes GNG per my BEFORE. I am uncertain whether
OSA Fellow is sufficient for NPROF(3) (it very well might however). Running through her publications (h-index of around 17? though not first named author on the highly-cited ones) NPROF(1) seems plausible (need to further evaluate). However, by previously holding a named-chair in MIT she passes NPROF(5). As the subject passes PROF (which does not require GNG), and since
Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup (in relation to the BLP/sourcing issues) - this is a keep.

MIT is not independent (employer). @

WP:NPROF is different from all other bio SNGs in that it "This guideline is independent from the other subject-specific notability guidelines, such as
WP:BIO,
WP:MUSIC,
WP:AUTH etc. and is explicitly listed as an alternative to the
general notability guideline". MIT (as is the Optical Society) is a RS for named chairs by MIT. NPROF doesn't require independent sources. Your argument would have been correct on nearly every other type of bio - however specifically for NPROF - once you can reliability (even with a non-independent primary, yet reliable, source) show the subject passes one of the NPROF criteria - they pass the notability guideline. This may or may not be misguided - however the place to discuss that is in NPROF and the Village pump - not on an individual article.

WP:PROF because he perceives them to be in conflict with "core" policies appears to be the main problem here. I've told them that if they find a conflict, the proper way would be to bring it up on the relevant discussion pages and strive for a consensus, but instead they chose to
WP:POINT with this AfD here. FWIW, I think you are interpreting
WP:IS too narrowly if you place MIT in the same category as Kolodziejski self-published texts or texts by her relatives and friends. None of the rationale laid out in the justification for why we need
WP:IS applies here. The criterion is: is the source so dependent on the subject that we must expect undue influence of the subject's own view, self-promotion and other abuses. That is clearly not the case for using MIT as a source about the fact that Kolodziejski held a specific named chair.

Speedy keep as per
DWeir. Furthermore, the nominating user appears to be
WP:POLSHOPing by attempting to make his personal non-consensus interpretation of a policy override a criterion that is stated in
WP:PROF, explicitly listing the admissability of sources. The user has been made aware of this (see
this discussion), has also been made aware that if he or she thinks there is a policy contradiction they should take it up using the established procedure and establish a consensus; instead, they continue to override
WP:PROF deliberately. Since this appears to be a pattern for the user's recent notability tags and AfDs (e.g.
here,

move a Wikiproject page out of the project space against the will of the participants, and also a worrying pattern that the user's energies in this respect appear to be directed very specifically against women in science (raising flags of possible issues of discrimination), could some administrators please look into this?

KeepWP:NACADEMIC states that academics meeting any one of a list of criteria are considered notable. Criterion 3 is "The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the IEEE)." A
Fellow of the IEEE "cannot be applied for directly by the member – instead the candidate must be nominated by others." The
Fellow of the Optical Society, is similarly highly selective, as per the wiki page, it requires one to be "nominated by a peer group of other current, OSA Fellows. Review of the nomination is then passed to the OSA Fellow Members Committee." The Optical Society is a "major scholarly society". Thus
Leslie Kolodziejski meets
WP:NACADEMIC, as do all other Fellows of the Optical Society. In the specific criteria notes on
WP:ACADEMIC, it states that "For documenting that a person has been elected member or fellow ... publications of the electing institution are considered a reliable source." Thus the reference given in Leslie Kolodziejski's article is sufficient.

All this adds up to something but still seems to be lacking significant RS beyond the niche corner of folk music he seems to occupy.

Greentrax Recordings (I will add this info to the article, for the relevant albums). (Why should there be SIGCOV beyond "the niche corner of folk music he seems to occupy"?

Weak keep While there's a tendency to be more inclusive for popular franchise, sometimes fuelled by fanboy/fangirl attitude (as if Wookiepedia or Memory Alpha or such didn't have that handled well enough already), most SW novels have reviews. But the quality of them is often at blog-level. Still:
TheForce.Net[12] (ironically, the website's article is tagged for notability...) - not a blog. SFCrowsnest
[13] - if this is a blog, it's a rather serious one. Sci-Fi Online (website that describes itself as "The UK's leading telefantasy and cilt website"):
[14]. Blog reviews:
[15]. Podcast review:
[16] . Probably sufficient presence in reviews to warrant pass, and that's without looking for reviews in other languages. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Comment I did see those reviews before nominating, but I didn't think they were sufficiently reliable.
NBOOK explicitly excludes blogs and other unreliable sources from counting towards notability, and it goes on to say that we should be cautious about sites that are themselves reliable, but allow members of the public to post material (Criterion 1, Note 2). The 'TheForce.net' review is written by someone called Adrick, who isn't listed amongst
their staff - it looks like a fan review on a (barely notable?) fan site. I can't access SFCrowsnest - Chrome and Edge are both refusing to connect, saying that the site uses unsafe TLS security settings - so I can't comment (but this doesn't fill me with confidence!). Sci-Fi Online might be the best bet, insofar as the reviewer (Chris Packer) is listed on the site's '
About Us' page - where it also notes that he's a full-time psychiatric nurse.Again, this looks like a fan review on a fan site. The other blog site and the podcast (since it is hosted on a blog site) are excluded. I'll leave it to others to judge whether the first three sites, and their reviewers, are reliable enough to establish notability.

REDIRECT to

They only have 5 employees listed on their company Linkedin profile. isn't a valid reason for deletion: First employees are not required to link themselves to a company via Linkedin and even then Wikipedia does not use Linkedin stats to determine notability. Just because an account is an SPA, does not mean that the article should be deleted. I think that this article does meet

Merge per nom and talk page discussion. This is certainly a thing that gets mentioned in coverage of either the
Ontario Line proposal or the
Ontario Place redevelopment scheme, but it is not yet the subject of any dedicated coverage about it independently of those contexts. If and when the line actually gets approved and construction is underway, then separate articles about each individual new station on the line will certainly become justified — but we don't already need a standalone article about the station as a separate topic in its own right as of today, especially when the natural parent article in which it can be discussed is only just barely longer than a stub anyway.

Keep In my opinion merge suggestions, like this one, where there are multiple related articles which could be merge targets, show the weaknesses of mergism. All the arguments made to merge to
Ontario Line would apply just as well to
Ontario Place. Significant topics, notable topics, are usually intimately related to multiple other topics.
Our reader rarely read whole articles, particularly our longer articles. Instead they try and figure out how to read just the information they are interested in. The wikipedia works best when our readers can click on a link and go to a small focussed article, that only talks about a single topic.
When readers can navigate to what might be the information they are interested in, by clicking on a link, the process of returning where they started, is trivial. All they hae to do is click on the "back" button. However, where the urge to merge succeeds, returning where you came requires a lot of frustrating scrolling around, or the use of the search button.
Some mergists here have claimed - in violation of
WP:OTHERSTUFF, that we "never" create articles about stations, until they are under construction. This is only generally true, and the obvious reason for that is that most proposed stations don't yet measure up to GNG. But Ontario Place station DOES measure up to GNG.
Geo Swan (

No, it doesn't yet measure up to GNG. As of today, it is merely a thing that gets mentioned in coverage whose core subject is either
Ontario Place or the
Ontario Line as a whole, and is not yet the subject of even one piece of dedicated coverage as its own standalone thing independently of those contexts. GNG is not "the topic gets its name mentioned in coverage of other things", it is "the topic is the primary subject of several substantive pieces of coverage in its own right as its own standalone thing".

They have not been discussed nor preliminary concepts advanced. And specifically, there are no details to provide as a basis for a stand-alone article. Plenty of room in the Ontario Line article to include one sentence descriptions of the proposed stations. That should do until things progress.

The result was No consensus on some, redirect most. For most of these articles, consenus appears to be that
WP:NLIST is not met, except for four where Mrschimpf has made uncontested claims of coverage (unless Bgredmchn's last comment was meant to be a contestation, but I have some difficulty in reading what was said there); no consensus on these four. I am a little unsure whether "2018 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference finals announcers" refers to one of the articles in question, however. As for the others, it seems like the main question is whether any of the information is worth merging over; some people have raised the concern that
WP:UNDUE and some infobox-related rules would be violated (
WP:FANCRUFT has also been cited, but that is an essay). It seems like "redirect" is probably the best solution, to reflect both the consensus that the lists ought to go and to allow for easy copying if it's determined that the material is useful anywhere.

If it's just about the teams participating, we should also remove instances of networks altogether. It's not about who pays the most to air the most games, or the biggest fan interest ones, but the teams playing. Brings up this point, {{
Infobox NCAA Basketball Conference Tournament}} has no area to edit for announcers, only networks. {{
Infobox NCAA football yearly game}} has an announcers section, AND ratings. There are plenty of pages in college football for announcers, and while I agree they don't meet

@
Mrschimpf: There's actually seven power conferences (major), but most only mention power five, and the Big East isn't one of the five. And that's a pretty biased statement to make. So, perhaps we should just remove the Miami Marlins from Wikipedia since they aren't one of the "power" teams. Should be no reason to have five conferences have something the other 27 cannot have. Press releases shouldn't be the final source for anything, and are unacceptable as the only sources for entire article, whereas the majors who are broadcast by ESPN, CBS and Raycom hardly have that issue. Of those 27, the networks for the championship games, which this is the only broadcasters the articles pertain to, 25 conference championship games are covered this way: 8 by ESPN, 8 by ESPN2, 3 by CBS, 3 by CBSSN, 2 by ESPNU, and 1 by FOX (Big East). Not much different than the "majors".

Non-notable karateka. I found no mention of her at the WKF's website or records of her competing at the Asian Games. The Hindu article says she would be competing at the 2013 world championships, but the WKF has its world championships in even numbered years. It also says she qualified for the 2014 Asian Games, but there's no record of her competing there. The U.S. Open event is literally open to all so she wouldn't be representing India--you just fill out an entry form, there's no qualifying. Even if she did win, it wouldn't show notability and given all the dubious claims in this article I have my doubts. Given the 2012 WKF championships in Paris had nearly 1500 entries, simply competing there wouldn't show notability. The references given don't show notability and the claims contained in them seem to have lots of errors.

Potential
hoax. I didn't find any reliable sources on the matter with Google, but I'm not that concerned about that given its non-Western nature. What's more concerning for me is the fact that the Chinese-language Wikipedia doesn't have its own article on the topic. I even checked the Chinese Wikipedia (w/ a machine translation, admittedly) in case someone had forgotten to add it to the "Languages" sidebar and still nothing came up. Even if it turns out that this isn't a hoax, I think we can/should redirect this to the Jin Dynasty article.

Delete This article is
WP:SYNTH, prohibited by policy, with a dash of
WP:MADEUP and/or
WP:NEO. None of the sources contain the phrase "deep voice privilege" or even "privilege". Two of the sources discuss the same Duke study that found a correlation between voice pitch and CEO pay, in which, again, the term is not used. Another source is literally (or was literally, before it apparently became a malware site) a "How to Get a Deeper Voice" product promo site. The final source simply talks about differences in voice pitch. "Deep voice privilege" is not a term that JSTOR finds, so the fundamental claim of the article fails
WP:V. And, judging by the (unreliable) sources found via Google search that discuss the term almost entirely in a sarcastic and mocking way, this article seems to be an attempt to parody and belittle other kinds of "privilege" articles.

A largely promotional article on a non-notable performer. The sources being used in the article are pretty useless for establishing notability. One is not even about the individual, and the other is a defunct link to a "Fly by Night" entertainment, which appears to have just been a booking agency. Searching for more sources turns up nothing that would allow the article to meet the requirements of a biographical article.

I'm bringing this to AfD for the following reason: Yesterday this was an unsourced stub that made no sense. I PRODed it and another editor deprodded it and added back in a lot of material from an earlier version that substantially increased its length and provided refs. My concern is that in previous months there have been a number of articles at AfD about Indian castes, which if I recall correctly were all deleted as the sources were regarded as unreliable. This article looks like another one in a long run of similar articles using the same sources. Perhaps editors who have taken part in previous AfD discussions in the field or have expert knowledge could indicate whether this should be kept or not.

Delete. Non-notable individual. I'm a little concerned about the coverage for RPDR in general - it seems we have a few very passionate fans of the show who are very hard at work covering every aspect of the show here on Wikipedia. A lot of it is
WP:FANCRUFT, which is all well and good at
rupaulsdragrace.fandom.com, but it doesn't belong here. As well as the contestants, there have recently been some articles for individual episodes created which I'm pretty sure don't meet the notability guidelines. I'm also a little concerned about the wikiproject. I know
this isn't quite

I'll also add that this is not someone who was just on the show and didn't have a career afterwards. The person was on at least three TV shows, in a movie, and has been in music videos. I'll admit that I do think there is too much information on her time on Drag Race; we don't need to record that she won a sewing challenge. But it's flat out wrong to say that she isn't notable.

Only claim to notability was winning a contest for a role on a local daytime talk show. Only one RS article, regarding that contest. Emmys cited were regional (not national) Emmys, and he was an Editor on a large team ( and not in a major/lead role) for those. Article appears to have been originally created by a
WP:UPE firm.

KeepBubbaJoe123456 As per WP:NOT What you are stating is not fact it is your opinion. You are saying that he didn't have a significant/lead role. He wrote, directed and as well as produced multiple shows for NBC.
As per WP:NPOV You stated he was an “Editor on a large team (not major/lead role)” He was never listed as an editor and what constitutes a “large team”? That term is subjective and thus not neutral.
As per WP:RSP
He was the correspondent for a NATIONAL TV show called "Good Day Live" not a local show as you state, so that is a false statement. You have stated that he was an editor which is completely wrong. He was a producer and a supervising producer nominated for two other Emmy awards. As sourced in the links below.
As per WP:CITEIMDB IMDB *CAN* be also be used as a secondary and tertiary source of other verified sources. IMDB awards require 3rd party site verification such as links to the NATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS & SCIENCES website with the nominations and wins for Emmy awards can also be checked.
Comment For his two regional (not national) Emmys, he was a Field Producer/Videographer for the first (misread it, not editor, but still not a showrunner/leadership role) on a team with at least 14 people, and a Segment Producer (misread it, not editor, but still not a showrunner/leadership role) on a team of at least 11 for the second. Again, these are regional awards, not national, so their contribution to notability is dubious at best.

Comment I'm not going to !vote here because (being in Europe) I can't view all of the sources. The article's current sourcing is a real mess -
BubbaJoe123456 is right, the only source that might come close to
WP:RS is the NYPost article, which I can't read. Stuff like IMDB is
UGC, it's not considered when assessing notability. University newspapers and the like are also generally excluded (since they have an obvious interest in puffing their alumni). What was should be looking for is significant coverage in independent reliable sources that would get him over
WP:GNG - I'm not seeing that in the links provided by
Ramniram above, and I'm not finding any using Google, but it's possible that a careful search with different search terms might throw something up (his apparent preference for intials rather than a first name makes searching a bit more complicated.)

Comment There was a discussion elsewhere about Wiki and this conversation was referenced as an example of the editing process. I'm finding it curious that this page is flagged, as so many other Wikipedia pages are about people with far fewer notable accomplishments. Joe Brown was a minor league ball player (
/info/en/?search=Joe_Brown_(third_baseman)). Clicking on 'random article' from the Wiki page told me that "Canadian New Zealanders" are people from New Zealand who came from Canada - and lists a few. Given that Wikipedia is a mix of interesting of both little known and extremely relevant facts, it seems odd that someone would suggest that this page is less deserving than others. I don't live in the NY area so I wouldn't have seen any local NY TV. But yet, I was familar with "Good Day Live" from national syndication. It's easy to find proof that it was national (
https://www.radiodiscussions.com/showthread.php?705229-Retro-Lexington-NC-Tuesday-May-18-2004) so it's odd that anyone would dismiss it as a "role on a local daytime talk show". I don't remember the show being very good, but it was certainly more than a local NY daytime show. The page appears to have verifiable information. Why should it bother anyone that it's here?

Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they have not yet won — and neither her age nor her gender automatically make her a special case over and above most other candidates, because if she loses there won't be any enduring interest in those distinctions anymore. To already be eligible for an article today, she would need to be able to show that she was already notable enough for an article for some other reason (e.g. as a writer, as an actress, as an athlete, etc.) besides running as a candidate. Obviously if she wins the seat, then an article about her can be recreated at that time as her notability claim will have changed from candidate to actual officeholder — but holding it in draftspace isn't necessary in the meantime, as we also have the ability to restore deleted articles in the future if things change. We do not keep candidate articles pending the election results just because the candidate might win — we wait until the ballots have been counted, and only then do we start articles about the people who did win.

The result was merge to
National Wrestling Federation. There's been some weird process here. In particular, please don't
move drafts to mainspace just so you can nominate them for deletion. If you think a draft should be deleted, nominate it in-place via
WP:MfD. But, more to the point, if you think something is not notable, don't even make it into a draft. Drafts are for things you expect to develop into real articles.
There's obviously disagreement about how this topic should be covered. There's clear consensus of the participants in this AfD that the 1986-1994 material should be covered in the main article, hence the merge.
Moab12 obviously disagrees, and since
K.e.coffman declined the draft, he apparently disagrees that it's notable on its own. So, after the merge, I suggest everybody get over to
Talk:National Wrestling Federation and hash out their concerns. This is fundamentally a content dispute, which AfD doesn't get involved with. If you can't come to consensus on the talk page, availing yourselves of

To be honest, it's quite likely the promotion in question probably is notable; so the discussion is a bit moot. The fact that the companies aren't the same makes no difference to if it should be in the same article. This should be closed and potentially merged/redirected. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

A non-independent source would be Leslie Kolodziejski writing about herself, or a close associate/family member writing a self-published text. The OSA is a large professional society; they do not have an "axe to grind" when it comes to Kolodziesjki, and stating which scientists the OSA conferred a fellowship upon is not self-promotion by Kolodziejski, nor by the OSA; it is a simple statement of fact. None of the reasons for having

KeepNotability is not a core policy, as the nomination mistakenly says. It's not even a
policy; it's a
guideline and so explictly says that it is "best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply". It's common sense that it's reasonable for us to cover a full professor at
MIT. The nomination's erroneous

Keep. I share Netoholic's
WP:BLP concerns here regarding sourcing and use of sources. I don't think she passes GNG per my BEFORE. I am uncertain whether
OSA Fellow is sufficient for NPROF(3) (it very well might however). Running through her publications (h-index of around 17? though not first named author on the highly-cited ones) NPROF(1) seems plausible (need to further evaluate). However, by previously holding a named-chair in MIT she passes NPROF(5). As the subject passes PROF (which does not require GNG), and since
Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup (in relation to the BLP/sourcing issues) - this is a keep.

MIT is not independent (employer). @
Netoholic: There might (and it might appear in all sorts of journal articles). However,
WP:NPROF is different from all other bio SNGs in that it "This guideline is independent from the other subject-specific notability guidelines, such as
WP:BIO,
WP:MUSIC,
WP:AUTH etc. and is explicitly listed as an alternative to the
general notability guideline". MIT (as is the Optical Society) is a RS for named chairs by MIT. NPROF doesn't require independent sources. Your argument would have been correct on nearly every other type of bio - however specifically for NPROF - once you can reliability (even with a non-independent primary, yet reliable, source) show the subject passes one of the NPROF criteria - they pass the notability guideline. This may or may not be misguided - however the place to discuss that is in NPROF and the Village pump - not on an individual article.

WP:POINT with this AfD here. FWIW, I think you are interpreting
WP:IS too narrowly if you place MIT in the same category as Kolodziejski self-published texts or texts by her relatives and friends. None of the rationale laid out in the justification for why we need
WP:IS applies here. The criterion is: is the source so dependent on the subject that we must expect undue influence of the subject's own view, self-promotion and other abuses. That is clearly not the case for using MIT as a source about the fact that Kolodziejski held a specific named chair.

this discussion), has also been made aware that if he or she thinks there is a policy contradiction they should take it up using the established procedure and establish a consensus; instead, they continue to override
WP:PROF deliberately. Since this appears to be a pattern for the user's recent notability tags and AfDs (e.g.

move a Wikiproject page out of the project space against the will of the participants, and also a worrying pattern that the user's energies in this respect appear to be directed very specifically against women in science (raising flags of possible issues of discrimination), could some administrators please look into this?

KeepWP:NACADEMIC states that academics meeting any one of a list of criteria are considered notable. Criterion 3 is "The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the IEEE)." A
Fellow of the IEEE "cannot be applied for directly by the member – instead the candidate must be nominated by others." The
Fellow of the Optical Society, is similarly highly selective, as per the wiki page, it requires one to be "nominated by a peer group of other current, OSA Fellows. Review of the nomination is then passed to the OSA Fellow Members Committee." The Optical Society is a "major scholarly society". Thus
Leslie Kolodziejski meets
WP:NACADEMIC, as do all other Fellows of the Optical Society. In the specific criteria notes on
WP:ACADEMIC, it states that "For documenting that a person has been elected member or fellow ... publications of the electing institution are considered a reliable source." Thus the reference given in Leslie Kolodziejski's article is sufficient.

Weak keep While there's a tendency to be more inclusive for popular franchise, sometimes fuelled by fanboy/fangirl attitude (as if Wookiepedia or Memory Alpha or such didn't have that handled well enough already), most SW novels have reviews. But the quality of them is often at blog-level. Still:
TheForce.Net[12] (ironically, the website's article is tagged for notability...) - not a blog. SFCrowsnest
[13] - if this is a blog, it's a rather serious one. Sci-Fi Online (website that describes itself as "The UK's leading telefantasy and cilt website"):
[14]. Blog reviews:
[15]. Podcast review:

Comment I did see those reviews before nominating, but I didn't think they were sufficiently reliable.
NBOOK explicitly excludes blogs and other unreliable sources from counting towards notability, and it goes on to say that we should be cautious about sites that are themselves reliable, but allow members of the public to post material (Criterion 1, Note 2). The 'TheForce.net' review is written by someone called Adrick, who isn't listed amongst
their staff - it looks like a fan review on a (barely notable?) fan site. I can't access SFCrowsnest - Chrome and Edge are both refusing to connect, saying that the site uses unsafe TLS security settings - so I can't comment (but this doesn't fill me with confidence!). Sci-Fi Online might be the best bet, insofar as the reviewer (Chris Packer) is listed on the site's '
About Us' page - where it also notes that he's a full-time psychiatric nurse.Again, this looks like a fan review on a fan site. The other blog site and the podcast (since it is hosted on a blog site) are excluded. I'll leave it to others to judge whether the first three sites, and their reviewers, are reliable enough to establish notability.

Merge per nom and talk page discussion. This is certainly a thing that gets mentioned in coverage of either the

Ontario Place redevelopment scheme, but it is not yet the subject of any dedicated coverage about it independently of those contexts. If and when the line actually gets approved and construction is underway, then separate articles about each individual new station on the line will certainly become justified — but we don't already need a standalone article about the station as a separate topic in its own right as of today, especially when the natural parent article in which it can be discussed is only just barely longer than a stub anyway.

Keep In my opinion merge suggestions, like this one, where there are multiple related articles which could be merge targets, show the weaknesses of mergism. All the arguments made to merge to
Ontario Line would apply just as well to
Ontario Place. Significant topics, notable topics, are usually intimately related to multiple other topics.
Our reader rarely read whole articles, particularly our longer articles. Instead they try and figure out how to read just the information they are interested in. The wikipedia works best when our readers can click on a link and go to a small focussed article, that only talks about a single topic.
When readers can navigate to what might be the information they are interested in, by clicking on a link, the process of returning where they started, is trivial. All they hae to do is click on the "back" button. However, where the urge to merge succeeds, returning where you came requires a lot of frustrating scrolling around, or the use of the search button.
Some mergists here have claimed - in violation of
WP:OTHERSTUFF, that we "never" create articles about stations, until they are under construction. This is only generally true, and the obvious reason for that is that most proposed stations don't yet measure up to GNG. But Ontario Place station DOES measure up to GNG.

Ontario Line as a whole, and is not yet the subject of even one piece of dedicated coverage as its own standalone thing independently of those contexts. GNG is not "the topic gets its name mentioned in coverage of other things", it is "the topic is the primary subject of several substantive pieces of coverage in its own right as its own standalone thing".

Merge or Delete As the Ontario Line itself is a proposal, it seems premature to have an Ontario Place station article. Also, the extensions to the Relief Line route are new and only exist as a proposal on a budget document. No design of stations, the routing is a bit vague. They have not been discussed nor preliminary concepts advanced. And specifically, there are no details to provide as a basis for a stand-alone article. Plenty of room in the Ontario Line article to include one sentence descriptions of the proposed stations. That should do until things progress.

Redirect to
Cody_Chestnut, although that article is probably vulnerable to a thorough AfD nomination. Otherwise, this band's major label album was never released, plus no sources.

Redirect to
Cody Chesnutt - his article needs rewriting but Mr. Chesnutt will easily survive an AfD:

The result was No consensus on some, redirect most. For most of these articles, consenus appears to be that
WP:NLIST is not met, except for four where Mrschimpf has made uncontested claims of coverage (unless Bgredmchn's last comment was meant to be a contestation, but I have some difficulty in reading what was said there); no consensus on these four. I am a little unsure whether "2018 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference finals announcers" refers to one of the articles in question, however. As for the others, it seems like the main question is whether any of the information is worth merging over; some people have raised the concern that
WP:UNDUE and some infobox-related rules would be violated (
WP:FANCRUFT has also been cited, but that is an essay). It seems like "redirect" is probably the best solution, to reflect both the consensus that the lists ought to go and to allow for easy copying if it's determined that the material is useful anywhere.

Comment Are we to AfD the other 31 article lists with similar titles, or is there a distinct difference with this one?

Where are we on
WP:IGNORINGATD? The fact that a topic is not notable is not, in and of itself, valid grounds for deleting a page, its content, or its history. If merger and/or redirection is feasible in a given case, either is preferable to deletion. I still feel they are feasible for a merge over deletion, to the point that I'm sure more reliable sources are out there, no one has really tried to find them.

@
Bagumba: There isn't much to say towards
WP:DUE, only that most people actually watch the games on TV than attend them, it's plausible to at least have the names of the broadcasters I've been listening to for two hours. If it's just about the teams participating, we should also remove instances of networks altogether. It's not about who pays the most to air the most games, or the biggest fan interest ones, but the teams playing. Brings up this point, {{
Infobox NCAA Basketball Conference Tournament}} has no area to edit for announcers, only networks. {{
Infobox NCAA football yearly game}} has an announcers section, AND ratings. There are plenty of pages in college football for announcers, and while I agree they don't meet
WP:SAL, it could be as easy as editing a template to allow broadcasters to be listed, and not have their own articles.

Merge all to parent articles if feasible with space, otherwise keep as valid split. The information should be somewhere. Ideally it should be in the parent article, but if that would cause it to be too long, I'm fine giving them their own.

keep as valid split: Spinouts are generally not exempt from meeting notability guidelines. Per the guideline
WP:AVOIDSPLIT: "Editors are cautioned not to immediately split articles if the new article would meet neither the general notability criterion nor the specific notability criteria for their topic."—

Comment re: cruftWP:FANCRUFT should not be merged into infoboxes; this only causes bloat. Per
WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE: The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance. There is no guideline to preserve cruft via a merge. Per
WP:ONUS: While information must be verifiable in order to be included in an article, this does not mean that all verifiable information must be included in an article.—

Delete all but major conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, SEC) Those can at least be easily sourced and are major events for sports networks. The rest are all ESPN time-fillers who are staffed on an unknown basis (or with the sub-NIT tourneys, whoever accepts their contract), and sports broadcasting FANCRUFT. Nate•(

Comment In the end, only bettors and fans of the schools care about the smaller tourneys, and those feel like the inane lists we've deleted involving 'List of Sunday Night Baseball games'. Press releases shouldn't be the final source for anything, and are unacceptable as the only sources for entire article, whereas the majors who are broadcast by ESPN, CBS and Raycom hardly have that issue. Nate•(

@
Mrschimpf: There's actually seven power conferences (major), but most only mention power five, and the Big East isn't one of the five. And that's a pretty biased statement to make. So, perhaps we should just remove the Miami Marlins from Wikipedia since they aren't one of the "power" teams. Should be no reason to have five conferences have something the other 27 cannot have. Press releases shouldn't be the final source for anything, and are unacceptable as the only sources for entire article, whereas the majors who are broadcast by ESPN, CBS and Raycom hardly have that issue. Of those 27, the networks for the championship games, which this is the only broadcasters the articles pertain to, 25 conference championship games are covered this way: 8 by ESPN, 8 by ESPN2, 3 by CBS, 3 by CBSSN, 2 by ESPNU, and 1 by FOX (Big East). Not much different than the "majors".
