WP:NEO in that there are multiple reliable sources (
[1][2][3]) that are about the term. The term also received significant coverage in
this source. It has been used in various books, articles, and scholarly papers. Notably, in
this passage that was published in Industrial and Labor Relations Review:
Terms such as “
femme,” “
lipstick lesbian,” “
chapstick lesbian,” and “
butch” refer to variations in physical expression of gender among queer women. Among queer men, terms such as “
butch,” “
bear,” “
otter,” “
swish,” and “
twink” differentiate between gay men of different physical appearance.
each term listed currently has its own Wikipedia article (except for "
otter", which is a redirect).

This article is an insult to history, and should be deleted as should virtually all claims relating to it in relevant articles.
Firstly sources currently used in the article:
Although
Willy Frazer isn't acceptable due to
WP:SPS (in particular anything relating to Ian Milne who is a living person) I will include what he says for the sake of thoroughness: "Family ties linked those who would form the core of a vicious Active Service Unit centred around Bellaghy. Different permeations of this murder gang continued a reign of terror for over five years and were responsible for over thirty murders. Dominic McGlinchy Ian Milne, Thomas McIlwee and Benedict McIlwee are names which live in infamy in this area". There is nothing particularly useful about what he says. He does not confirm the name of the group, or the actual dates it existed.
Irishhistory.blogspot.com is not a reliable source under any circumstances, so I will not even bother to address any of the claims it makes especially as they offer no sources to support their claims and are contradicted by actual reliable sources.
Page 243 of Tirghra is about Thomas McElwee. It contains no information on his IRA (or "Independents" activity) prior to 1976, so is useless for our purposes.
Independent newspaper obituary on Dominic McGlinchey says: "Released the following year [1972], he became one of the IRA's most feared operatives. In the south Londonderry area he teamed up with another notorious terrorist, Francis Hughes - who was later to die on hunger strike - to form a unit which carried out many shootings and bombings". This sentence does not confirm that McGlinchey and Hughes unit was actually independent of the IRA. While it could be argued it is potentially ambiguous, most reasonable people would assume it to mean their teaming up happened in the IRA, not before".
CAIN is the 1994 chronology of deaths during the Troubles, so is useless for our purposes.
An Phoblacht interview with Ian Milne contradicts the basic premise that Ian Milne was even part of the so-called South Derry Independent Republican Unit. It has him born in 1954, joining the Officials version of na Fianna Éireann aged 16, and the "re-organised Irish Republican Army" (ie the Provisional IRA) a year later. This timeline has him in the IRA prior to 1973, and the article further says "Fortunately, Milne was part of the massive escape from Portlaoise Prison a couple of months later [in August 1974]. It was after the escape that himself, Francis Hughes and other IRA Volunteers formed a new military unit. In the following years, they were very active in the Six Counties." So this does not support the claim that Milne and Hughes were both part of a unit independent of the IRA.
Now for what other sources say about the so-called South Derry Independent Republican Unit, or the people who were supposedly part of it:
J Bowyer Bell "The Irish Troubles" page 539: "He [Francis Hughes] had joined the Officials, strong in the area, but left when they declared a cease-fire in 1972 and formed his own unit, the Unrepentants, which was incorporated into the Provos in 1974"
Richard English "Armed Struggle: The History of the IRA" page 198: "Originally a member of the OIRA, Hughes had left that organization after its 1972 ceasefire and had set up an independent unit in his native South Derry. This unit had then been accepted into the Provisional IRA"
Andrew Sanders "Inside the IRA page 156: "Originally from Bellaghy, he [Dominic McGlinchey] was interned in 1971 and on his release teamed up with future hunger striker Francis Hughes to form a deadly new IRA unit, the two pictured on a wanted poster issued by the RUC"
David Beresford "Ten Men Dead" page 115: "When the "Officials" declared their ceasefire in 1972, Frank [Hughes] his friends formed their own group, calling themselves the "Independents. The following year they threw their lot in with the "Provisionals", as it became apparent they had assumed the leadership of the physical force tradition in Irish Republicanism".". Pages 184-185 "He [Thomas McElwee] had been a signed up member of the Republican Movement from an early age, joining na Fianna Eireann-the youth wing of the IRA-at the age of 14. He subsequently joined Frank Hughes' "Independents" and followed him into the Provisionals".
Martin Dillon "The Trigger Men" page 122: "Yet even on his [Dominic McGlinchey] release in June '72, there was no apparent desire on his part to join the Official IRA or the fast-developing Provisionals. Instead he began associating with young men who had not formed any direct connection to physical force republicanism. Two of his closest associates were Ian Milne and Francis Hughes." Although vague about exactly when the trio joined the Provisional IRA it does state that they did, and their activity from then on was IRA activity. It details no armed activity prior to joining the IRA. Page 124: McGlinchey's stint as an operative ended within one year when he was arrested in a house in which weapons were stored. He was returned to Long Kesh and for 18 months made an effort to educate himself by reading and attending classes chaired by Provisional IRA leaders. On his return to South Derry to link up with Hughes and Milne, he was listed on security forces files as someone to be watched."
The Argus state McGlinchey's weapons arrest was in 1973.
There is no evidence any organisation called the South Derry Independent Republican Unit (or Independent Republican Unit or anything else similar) existed from 1973 to 1976 with Francis Hughes, Dominic McGlinchey and Ian Milne as members who carried out armed attacks on the British Army, Royal Ulster Constabulary or anyone else. The organisation that verifiably did exist was called either "the Independents" or "the Unrepenants" and the only two named members were Francis Hughes and Thomas McElwee, (note: using "The Trigger Men" as a reference it could be inferred that the unnamed members of the group referred to by other sources were McGlinchey and Milne, but this would be
improper synthesis of sources) and the organisation carried out no documented attacks on anyone, and existed from (seemingly) 1972 (or potentially 1973) until 1973 or 1974. In my opinion it would be pointless to write an article using the actual reliable sources since all we are left with is an organisation with an unclear name, unknown size, two known members, unclear dates of existence and no known activity.

Just in case anyone wants a shorter, more digestible version of the reasoning above. The South Derry Independent Republican Unit article confuses two different periods of history. The first period was from roughly 1972-1973, when Francis Hughes, Thomas McElwee and unnamed others were part of an organisation independent of the Provisional IRA. The second, much more well-documented period of history, was after that organisation had been subsumed into the Provisional IRA, when Francis Hughes, Dominic McGlinchey and Ian Milne were an active triumvirate of IRA members.

Delete. The relationship between these individuals is dealt with in their respective biographies. Even if some or all of them acted together independently of the IRA, they were not a formal organisation with a title, and certainly not an abbreviation (SDIRU). The
Actions section uses the Sutton index of deaths on CAIN as a ref, but Sutton attributes all of those killings to the IRA, not an independent unit.

Delete : The name "South Derry Independent Republican Unit" has not been used even as a cover for IRA operations, as was, for example, "South Armagh Republican Action Force." There is nothing in Holland & McDonald's INLA: Deadly Divisions nor in Moloney's A Secret History of the IRA. There exists (at least) one Wikipedia article ("
Thomas McElwee") that mentions the alleged organisation as being the creation of McElwee, offering no sources for that claim. (The article cites two sources for the claim but they are unrelated to the matter.) The same
creator who has created both articles has also put up a bunch of others, all related to the
Troubles and the Irish movement for independence, and has a declared
conflict of interest on the issue at large. -

Keep I'm hardly a neutral party in this having written the article, but I obviously disagree that it doesn't meet
WP:WEBCRIT. I wouldn't have published it if I felt it wasn't going to meet
WP:N. The content of the website—not only the logos themselves but their evolution—is sourced in the given reliable citations more than just trivial mentions, along with articles that talk about the site itself. That's on top of a significant number of Wikipedia articles that use the website as a reliable source (usually to reference logos) and the increasing number of other websites that reference sportslogos.net for anything logo-related and even uniform related. Is it overwhelming notability at this point? No, but there is definitely ongoing and widespread coverage across various media outlets and sports beyond a few trivial mentions here and there. --

County commissioners can occasionally clear NPOL #2 if they can be well-referenced to nationalizing coverage which demonstrates that they're notable significantly beyond just their own county, but are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist — but this is referenced to a mix of
primary sources and the routinely expected degree of purely local media coverage, which is not good enough.

reliable sources here are incompletely cited routine local coverage in his local newspaper, in the context of winning election to a smalltown municipal council and winning non-notable local awards which are not

Delete. The references here are all
primary sources that do not constitute support for notability. People do not get Wikipedia articles just because they have staff profiles on the
self-published websites of their own employers — notability is measured in terms of
reliable source coverage about the topic in media, not just the ability to use his own self-created web presence as technical verification that he exists. If you want to make him notable enough for an encyclopedia article, what needs to be shown is that journalists have written content about him in newspapers or magazines, not just that his own employers have staff directories. The rule on here is not that as long as the article says things that sound potentially notable, the references can be just any random web page you can find — the notability test is the extent to which he has or has not been the subject of journalism.

Comment - The only sources that I can find are either on the day of the earthquake or in one case the day after - this suggests that this event fails the requirement for
WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. I also note from
WP:GEOSCOPE "Coverage of an event nationally or internationally may make notability more likely, but such coverage should not be the sole basis for creating an article." I have removed all the uncited material from the article, which doesn't leave a lot. Being the largest earthquake in a year doesn't make it notable - there was another 7.5 event on 14 May in Papua New Guinea, and analysis of the previous 20 years suggests that a larger event is very likely to occur (all of those years have M>7.5 earthquakes).

Another almost certainly bogus entry from the ever-unreliable Cardarelli book. No supporting evidence has been produced since the (orphan) page was created, but there is a clue to the actual origin here:
User:Imaginatorium/Cardarelli#Stuck_(unit). This is not an English word for a unit, but a German word (Stück) meaning "item", and used for counting commodities rather as "piece" is in trading English. The
German Wiktionary entry, likely to be more comprehensive than the English one has no mention of Stück having a special meaning for wine. The quote from the British parliamentary proceedings of 1875
[7] suggests that the writer was not necessarily clear on what Stück means, and that was only the beginning of the confusion. @

It's very clear what's happened here: back in the 1870s a German winery sold hock wine at such-and-such a price per piece (per Stück) and those containers happened to be around 260 gallons. That doesn't make Stück a unit of volume, any more than selling fun size candy bars makes "

Keep Cardarelli is a respectable and reliable source, as recommended by
NIST. The unit in this case is confirmed by other compendia of weights and measures such as Jerrard and The Economist's World Measurement Guide. The unit is a customary size of barrel and its specialist use in the production and trade of
hock is confirmed by numerous sources including:
Hyatt's Handbook of Grape Culture
The Horticulturist
How We Weigh and Measure
The Economist desk companion
Ridley's Monthly Wine and Spirit Trade Circular
Encyclopedia of Wines & Spirits
Hotel Monthly
Wine, the Vine, and the Cellar
The latter explains that the word does originate from the German stück (piece) but that's not a reason to delete because the names of many customary units have a prosaic origin, e.g.
foot (unit) and
stone (unit). It says that the unit is "everywhere the same gauge" whereas the
aum (a smaller barrel) varied in different regions of Germany. Such details can be used to expand and improve the topic per our

I wonder what the bar is for "reliable". The
investigation that
Imaginatorium did into the book's "Old Japanese units of weight" shows Imaginatorium and me that this is not at all a reliable source. Are his and my standards for reliability skewed somehow, or are they unrealistically high? Is this book perhaps taken seriously merely because at the time of its publication (and for all I know even now) no other book in English had a similar ambition? There is at least one other book that does have a similar ambition; unfortunately for most people here it's in Japanese, but anyway it's 『単位の辞典』, by
an actual metrologist. (A glance at the Japanese website of a multinational retail monopolist also shows interesting-looking Japanese-language alternatives, but I'm unfamiliar with any of them.) The Roman-letter index to the 4th edition of this book shows no "stuck", "stück" or "stueck". Its absence of course doesn't condemn it, but it does hint. ¶ That's an impressively long list of sources for the term's "specialist use in the production and trade of
hock"; could you please quote an impressive example among them? I'd like to see signs of care, rather than unthinking recycling of factoids read elsewhere. --

Ah. I have the 2nd edition of Jerrard and McNeill, pub. 1964 by Chapman and Hall, copyright the authors. But the latest edition is produced by the

Keep So all these major publishers made a mistake, but some random person on the internet figured it all out? Wouldn't they update their books with corrected information if that were true? I found a book published in 1877 about wine uses this measurement on page 27 "He had become possessed of half a stuck (about 750 bottles) of really fine Steinberg Cabinet" and on the book's page 377 "about 40 tuns(stuck) of wine, each of 240 gallons."

Those now in use are called "stuck," and contain about seven ohms, of thirty gallons each."

Comment: The purported English word "stuck" is not the same as an intended German word "Stück"; so far I have only seen evidence of use of the apparent German, typically written properly (italicised). Perhaps this is indeed a German usage... I don't know, but I do not think we can use Cardarelli (the book, not the man) to answer such questions.

Comment: There's original research going on behind the nomination here, which is fine, but I'm not aware of any secondary source that has concluded this unit is invented or does not exist, despite being referenced in multiple books. So, our sourcing suggests the unit does exist, but may be obscure. Many words are coined out of misinterpretations of other languages. But as to this AFD, is there really enough to have a separate article on this unit? Our goal as an encyclopedia is to serve our readers, and a one-sentence stub on this obscure unit does not strike me as useful to readers. It provides no context in this format. As I commented in the 2015
bundled AFD, shouldn't this be redirected to some list of related sizes (just as our sources do it)? An analogy might be
List of English terms of venery, by animal; most of these terms are not actually used

Keep - Yes, "Stueck" means "piece" in German, but this does not make it not a unit if the references say it is one. It is quite possible that this began as a misunderstanding (if that's what it was) but became a customary unit later.
For example you can see it being used as a unit here in 1972 and
here in 1864. In fact, since it appears to have been used as a unit in the 1860's it's origin cannot have been in the 1870's. At the very least references show it being used as a unit more than a hundred years before Cardarelli, so it cannot be any mistake on their part. PS - as for the matter of whether this and many other articles about customary units should be moved to Wiktionary, I think that's a matter for another discussion.

Weak TNT delete Both Imaginatorium and FOARP are right on the substance; the problem is that even if what FOARP says is correct, we can't use it to fix the article and expand it beyond a useless, and misleading, substub without more reliable secondary sources. Imaginatorium's analysis of the bogus Cardarelli book's coverage of Japanese units is, AFAICT, accurate, which makes me extremely loath to trust it on stuff that isn't Japanese. We have the same problem with "Harvard University Press"'s Japan Encyclopedia, a completely ridiculous work that very few legit scholars actually looked at closely enough to see the problems, and the NIST source and others seem to have fallen into the same trap as most of the "reliable secondary sources" cited in our Japan Encyclopedia article (which was created in response to me bringing the book to RSN because I noticed the problems with it -- fortunately in that case at least one legit scholar in the real world had also noticed the problems). I am not opposed to the recreation of an article on this subject if reliable secondary sources actually discussing the problem can be located.

Some authors of the resources mentioned in the article are scientists and refuting their claims needs a more scientific approach. Approving NIST is unreliable also needs more scientific approach. I appreciate Imaginatorium's work as he/she placed a lot of effort as a Wikipedia contributor, but, his work is much more un-reliable as there is a lot of personnel opinions are still there in his work. Somehow his/her work is leading to improving the articles. Japanese units are separate issue which is not relevant to this unit.

Japanese units are separate issue which is not relevant to this unit also makes no sense in this context; if a source is too old and makes too many errors, we can't hang an article on it, even if many of the errors are concentrated on a separate but closely related topic.

Jan Gyllenbok, a stub created by a SPA in 2018, the year of publication of this book, but who was previously mentioned in
Historical metrology, itself a page with a curious history. Anyway, I can't help looking for his version of Japanese units, and wow is it wonky?! A series of purported weights based on the Imperial system, and based on a source called "CARD" has the following sequence (in bold; items separated by slashes; the apostrophe is clearly a left-quote): its ‘ko-koo / itho / ischo / its-go / pun / rin... apart from 'rin' this is more, new, garbage. ¶ But back to "Stuck": Cardarelli writes "stuck (hock)"...

WP:GNG
The removal of sources in the middle of this AFD discussion is simply an attempt to arrive at a result by indirection that which you cannot achieve by direction. It is a
Self fulfilling prophecy regarding notability and lack of sources."There are no sources, so it must be deleted." Ipse dixit doesn't cu8t it here.
Keep. I'm becoming increasingly skeptical of all these AfD nominations based on the premise that Cardarelli is an unreliable source. Finding a mistake in Cardarelli does not mean that suddenly the entire work has to be thrown out. No scholarly source has been put forward that criticises Cardarelli in any way, or even pointing out any of the claimed mistakes. I am especially concerned that it is now being argued that the highly regarded academic publisher Springer is also unreliable due them once being fooled into publishing hoax articles. The IEEE, also highly regarded, was also taken in by the same hoax. I note that the evidence offered above for this is an article in Nature, which merely reports that the offending articles had been withdrawn, not that the publishers were now considered intrinsically unreliable. Ironically, it was Nature, the premier science journal in the world, that published one of the most famous hoaxes of all time –
Piltdown Man. Frankly, if we are to reject every book or article that comes from a publisher that has ever been taken in by a hoax, or has published an article with an error, we won't be left with much in the way of sources at all.
The idea that sources that put the unit in italics are to be rejected is just out-and-out nonsense. Sure, that might show that the source considers it to be a foreign word, but so what? It still is a unit and being a foreign unit does not detract from its notability on English Wikipedia. Finally, the
Journal of the Society of Arts uses takes the German "stück" to be 1200 litres. This article is from 1873, so clearly is not copied from Cardarelli, it clearly uses the word to mean a unit of volume, not piece, and is clearly a reliable source, although doubtless they have been taken in by a hoax sometime in their history.

Keeping the article helps the politician, removing it hurts the politician. Because the politician was caught falsely inflating her education earlier, she has highlighted her status as an alum of this school (not the same one as in the scandal) in an apparent attempt to showcase her top-notch background and maybe distract from the scandal. Keeping the article raises the status of the school, complementing her recent effort at damage control, deleting it does the opposite.--

Note - the current political issues have no bearing whatsoever on whether this article gets kept or deleted. The only question before us here in this discussion is whether or not the subject, this school, meets community standards for an article.

Comment - The above being said, the question is whether the subject meets community standards for an article. I say it does. We've had numerous RfCs over the years trying to delineate a written standard and indeed we do periodically change the written standard. However, it has always been and I'd suggest it will always be the community consensus as illustrated by what happens here at AfD that we keep all legitimate diploma granting secondary schools. Wikipedia operates on consensus not rules.

Yes,
Tyw7. The standard for a diploma granting school is now and always has been much closer to
GEOFEAT than GNG. You are clearly not disputing the school's existence. That's more than adequately shown, much better than many school articles. And please remember it isn't the article we are judging, it's the subject. Numerous other sources have been proffered here. The bit about the attack should certainly be added to the article.

Keep -- We normally allow articles for Secondary Schools (which this is). This was to some extent a pragmatic policy as pupils are likely to want to create articles about their own schools. As an English medium school, this is likely to have a higher profile than Hindi-medium schools as its alumni are more likely to get good jobs, as a result of that education.

Keep as (I know it would be really hard to prove it), but this school is one of the better known ones in the West Delhi area. Delhi has numerous schools (given its population of 22 million), but only a few schools are well known enough (or perceived by parents to provide a good standard of education). For the record, I knew the name of his school as far back in the 90s, much before Wikipedia. When I decide whether to vote keep or delete, I believe that it is important to also consider the age of the school, newspaper reports, as well as whether the school has any famous alumni. The school is close to 50 years old and it has 2 generations of alumni, which can be verified from this report in
DailyMail. This is also the sister school of
Don Bosco School (Alaknanda, New Delhi), another well known school (verified from
[11]). I understand the lack of coverage, but back in the 90s or 2000s, I distinctly remember that the activities hosted by the school (inter-school sports events, extracurricular activities) would appear in the pages of Hindustan Times/Times of India. Unfortunately I don't have access to the archives anymore so I cannot find it. The vandalism incident as well as the Smriti Irani controversy both add to the fact that people could reasonably search Wikipedia for more information about this school, so I guess we can keep this article.--

Keep I have found and added some more references, and I think that the subject does meet
WP:GNG. The book Unveiling the Muse certainly does have significant coverage of this krewe, as does the New Orleans Advocate article, and other articles include relevant information. I think that the article could use some editing - it doesn't really have a lede paragraph, and I'm not sure that so much background info is necessary when there is a WP article about
krewes (but I have more experience with biographies than other kinds of article, so I may be wrong).
If the article is not kept, then it should not be deleted - even if this krewe is not considered notable on its own, the gay krewes in New Orleans certainly are, so a combined article on all of them would be preferable to deletion - but I believe that they are notable, this one certainly, so it should be kept.

Delete. I checked the references in the article. The first one I looked at cited its content to PRNewswire-PRWeb. The second said "At Dentech, the first priority is to build a world-class company that is dedicated to customer satisfaction, produces a fair profit and cares about its employees." ...and so it went on. There is a wiki, a YouTube video, advertising sites, and so on. I also searched for sources, including trying the search terms that Spearmint210 (the creator of the article) suggested above, but for some reason didn't do himself/herself. I found the company's own web site, LinkedIn, this Wikipedia article, advertising sites, and similar, but nothing of any value. (Typical of most of the pages I found were one on a site which says "We stay in business because software vendors pay us when they receive web traffic directly from our site" and one which says "Get your products listed on Dentalcompare today!") This article is an attempt to use Wikipedia to promote a business which does not come anywhere near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Would you be willing to give me a few days to rewrite the article to include information from secondary sources that improve notability? After that, you could reassess for notability - if it is still not notable, then I would understand the article's deletion.
The main reason that the article is largely dependent on primary sources is due to it being largely a translation of the
Norwegian article, which uses roughly the same sources. However, I'm sure more rewrites would make this article notable. Sound okay? -

self-published content, on their own website and the website of their employer, technically verifies that they exist — the notability test is the reception of

This article is an insult to history, and should be deleted as should virtually all claims relating to it in relevant articles.
Firstly sources currently used in the article:
Although
Willy Frazer isn't acceptable due to
WP:SPS (in particular anything relating to Ian Milne who is a living person) I will include what he says for the sake of thoroughness: "Family ties linked those who would form the core of a vicious Active Service Unit centred around Bellaghy. Different permeations of this murder gang continued a reign of terror for over five years and were responsible for over thirty murders. Dominic McGlinchy Ian Milne, Thomas McIlwee and Benedict McIlwee are names which live in infamy in this area". There is nothing particularly useful about what he says. He does not confirm the name of the group, or the actual dates it existed.
Irishhistory.blogspot.com is not a reliable source under any circumstances, so I will not even bother to address any of the claims it makes especially as they offer no sources to support their claims and are contradicted by actual reliable sources.
Page 243 of Tirghra is about Thomas McElwee. It contains no information on his IRA (or "Independents" activity) prior to 1976, so is useless for our purposes.
Independent newspaper obituary on Dominic McGlinchey says: "Released the following year [1972], he became one of the IRA's most feared operatives. In the south Londonderry area he teamed up with another notorious terrorist, Francis Hughes - who was later to die on hunger strike - to form a unit which carried out many shootings and bombings". This sentence does not confirm that McGlinchey and Hughes unit was actually independent of the IRA. While it could be argued it is potentially ambiguous, most reasonable people would assume it to mean their teaming up happened in the IRA, not before".
CAIN is the 1994 chronology of deaths during the Troubles, so is useless for our purposes.
An Phoblacht interview with Ian Milne contradicts the basic premise that Ian Milne was even part of the so-called South Derry Independent Republican Unit. It has him born in 1954, joining the Officials version of na Fianna Éireann aged 16, and the "re-organised Irish Republican Army" (ie the Provisional IRA) a year later. This timeline has him in the IRA prior to 1973, and the article further says "Fortunately, Milne was part of the massive escape from Portlaoise Prison a couple of months later [in August 1974]. It was after the escape that himself, Francis Hughes and other IRA Volunteers formed a new military unit. In the following years, they were very active in the Six Counties." So this does not support the claim that Milne and Hughes were both part of a unit independent of the IRA.
Now for what other sources say about the so-called South Derry Independent Republican Unit, or the people who were supposedly part of it:
J Bowyer Bell "The Irish Troubles" page 539: "He [Francis Hughes] had joined the Officials, strong in the area, but left when they declared a cease-fire in 1972 and formed his own unit, the Unrepentants, which was incorporated into the Provos in 1974"
Richard English "Armed Struggle: The History of the IRA" page 198: "Originally a member of the OIRA, Hughes had left that organization after its 1972 ceasefire and had set up an independent unit in his native South Derry. This unit had then been accepted into the Provisional IRA"
Andrew Sanders "Inside the IRA page 156: "Originally from Bellaghy, he [Dominic McGlinchey] was interned in 1971 and on his release teamed up with future hunger striker Francis Hughes to form a deadly new IRA unit, the two pictured on a wanted poster issued by the RUC"
David Beresford "Ten Men Dead" page 115: "When the "Officials" declared their ceasefire in 1972, Frank [Hughes] his friends formed their own group, calling themselves the "Independents. The following year they threw their lot in with the "Provisionals", as it became apparent they had assumed the leadership of the physical force tradition in Irish Republicanism".". Pages 184-185 "He [Thomas McElwee] had been a signed up member of the Republican Movement from an early age, joining na Fianna Eireann-the youth wing of the IRA-at the age of 14. He subsequently joined Frank Hughes' "Independents" and followed him into the Provisionals".
Martin Dillon "The Trigger Men" page 122: "Yet even on his [Dominic McGlinchey] release in June '72, there was no apparent desire on his part to join the Official IRA or the fast-developing Provisionals. Instead he began associating with young men who had not formed any direct connection to physical force republicanism. Two of his closest associates were Ian Milne and Francis Hughes." Although vague about exactly when the trio joined the Provisional IRA it does state that they did, and their activity from then on was IRA activity. It details no armed activity prior to joining the IRA. Page 124: McGlinchey's stint as an operative ended within one year when he was arrested in a house in which weapons were stored. He was returned to Long Kesh and for 18 months made an effort to educate himself by reading and attending classes chaired by Provisional IRA leaders. On his return to South Derry to link up with Hughes and Milne, he was listed on security forces files as someone to be watched."
The Argus state McGlinchey's weapons arrest was in 1973.
There is no evidence any organisation called the South Derry Independent Republican Unit (or Independent Republican Unit or anything else similar) existed from 1973 to 1976 with Francis Hughes, Dominic McGlinchey and Ian Milne as members who carried out armed attacks on the British Army, Royal Ulster Constabulary or anyone else. The organisation that verifiably did exist was called either "the Independents" or "the Unrepenants" and the only two named members were Francis Hughes and Thomas McElwee, (note: using "The Trigger Men" as a reference it could be inferred that the unnamed members of the group referred to by other sources were McGlinchey and Milne, but this would be
improper synthesis of sources) and the organisation carried out no documented attacks on anyone, and existed from (seemingly) 1972 (or potentially 1973) until 1973 or 1974. In my opinion it would be pointless to write an article using the actual reliable sources since all we are left with is an organisation with an unclear name, unknown size, two known members, unclear dates of existence and no known activity.

Just in case anyone wants a shorter, more digestible version of the reasoning above. The South Derry Independent Republican Unit article confuses two different periods of history. The first period was from roughly 1972-1973, when Francis Hughes, Thomas McElwee and unnamed others were part of an organisation independent of the Provisional IRA. The second, much more well-documented period of history, was after that organisation had been subsumed into the Provisional IRA, when Francis Hughes, Dominic McGlinchey and Ian Milne were an active triumvirate of IRA members.

Delete. The relationship between these individuals is dealt with in their respective biographies. Even if some or all of them acted together independently of the IRA, they were not a formal organisation with a title, and certainly not an abbreviation (SDIRU). The

Delete : The name "South Derry Independent Republican Unit" has not been used even as a cover for IRA operations, as was, for example, "South Armagh Republican Action Force." There is nothing in Holland & McDonald's INLA: Deadly Divisions nor in Moloney's A Secret History of the IRA. There exists (at least) one Wikipedia article ("
Thomas McElwee") that mentions the alleged organisation as being the creation of McElwee, offering no sources for that claim. (The article cites two sources for the claim but they are unrelated to the matter.) The same
creator who has created both articles has also put up a bunch of others, all related to the
Troubles and the Irish movement for independence, and has a declared
conflict of interest on the issue at large. -

Keep I'm hardly a neutral party in this having written the article, but I obviously disagree that it doesn't meet
WP:WEBCRIT. I wouldn't have published it if I felt it wasn't going to meet
WP:N. The content of the website—not only the logos themselves but their evolution—is sourced in the given reliable citations more than just trivial mentions, along with articles that talk about the site itself. That's on top of a significant number of Wikipedia articles that use the website as a reliable source (usually to reference logos) and the increasing number of other websites that reference sportslogos.net for anything logo-related and even uniform related. Is it overwhelming notability at this point? No, but there is definitely ongoing and widespread coverage across various media outlets and sports beyond a few trivial mentions here and there. --

reliable sources here are incompletely cited routine local coverage in his local newspaper, in the context of winning election to a smalltown municipal council and winning non-notable local awards which are not

Delete. The references here are all
primary sources that do not constitute support for notability. People do not get Wikipedia articles just because they have staff profiles on the
self-published websites of their own employers — notability is measured in terms of
reliable source coverage about the topic in media, not just the ability to use his own self-created web presence as technical verification that he exists. If you want to make him notable enough for an encyclopedia article, what needs to be shown is that journalists have written content about him in newspapers or magazines, not just that his own employers have staff directories. The rule on here is not that as long as the article says things that sound potentially notable, the references can be just any random web page you can find — the notability test is the extent to which he has or has not been the subject of journalism.

Comment - The only sources that I can find are either on the day of the earthquake or in one case the day after - this suggests that this event fails the requirement for
WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. I also note from
WP:GEOSCOPE "Coverage of an event nationally or internationally may make notability more likely, but such coverage should not be the sole basis for creating an article." I have removed all the uncited material from the article, which doesn't leave a lot. Being the largest earthquake in a year doesn't make it notable - there was another 7.5 event on 14 May in Papua New Guinea, and analysis of the previous 20 years suggests that a larger event is very likely to occur (all of those years have M>7.5 earthquakes).

Another almost certainly bogus entry from the ever-unreliable Cardarelli book. No supporting evidence has been produced since the (orphan) page was created, but there is a clue to the actual origin here:
User:Imaginatorium/Cardarelli#Stuck_(unit). This is not an English word for a unit, but a German word (Stück) meaning "item", and used for counting commodities rather as "piece" is in trading English. The
German Wiktionary entry, likely to be more comprehensive than the English one has no mention of Stück having a special meaning for wine. The quote from the British parliamentary proceedings of 1875
[7] suggests that the writer was not necessarily clear on what Stück means, and that was only the beginning of the confusion. @

Delete- per the well researched and argued nomination. Another howler from the discredited Cardarelli book. It's very clear what's happened here: back in the 1870s a German winery sold hock wine at such-and-such a price per piece (per Stück) and those containers happened to be around 260 gallons. That doesn't make Stück a unit of volume, any more than selling fun size candy bars makes "
fun (unit)" a unit of weight totalling 21g.

Keep Cardarelli is a respectable and reliable source, as recommended by
NIST. The unit in this case is confirmed by other compendia of weights and measures such as Jerrard and The Economist's World Measurement Guide. The unit is a customary size of barrel and its specialist use in the production and trade of
hock is confirmed by numerous sources including:
Hyatt's Handbook of Grape Culture
The Horticulturist
How We Weigh and Measure
The Economist desk companion
Ridley's Monthly Wine and Spirit Trade Circular
Encyclopedia of Wines & Spirits
Hotel Monthly
Wine, the Vine, and the Cellar
The latter explains that the word does originate from the German stück (piece) but that's not a reason to delete because the names of many customary units have a prosaic origin, e.g.
foot (unit) and
stone (unit). It says that the unit is "everywhere the same gauge" whereas the
aum (a smaller barrel) varied in different regions of Germany. Such details can be used to expand and improve the topic per our

I wonder what the bar is for "reliable". The
investigation that
Imaginatorium did into the book's "Old Japanese units of weight" shows Imaginatorium and me that this is not at all a reliable source. Are his and my standards for reliability skewed somehow, or are they unrealistically high? Is this book perhaps taken seriously merely because at the time of its publication (and for all I know even now) no other book in English had a similar ambition? There is at least one other book that does have a similar ambition; unfortunately for most people here it's in Japanese, but anyway it's 『単位の辞典』, by
an actual metrologist. (A glance at the Japanese website of a multinational retail monopolist also shows interesting-looking Japanese-language alternatives, but I'm unfamiliar with any of them.) The Roman-letter index to the 4th edition of this book shows no "stuck", "stück" or "stueck". Its absence of course doesn't condemn it, but it does hint. ¶ That's an impressively long list of sources for the term's "specialist use in the production and trade of
hock"; could you please quote an impressive example among them? I'd like to see signs of care, rather than unthinking recycling of factoids read elsewhere. --

Keep So all these major publishers made a mistake, but some random person on the internet figured it all out? Wouldn't they update their books with corrected information if that were true? I found a book published in 1877 about wine uses this measurement on page 27 "He had become possessed of half a stuck (about 750 bottles) of really fine Steinberg Cabinet" and on the book's page 377 "about 40 tuns(stuck) of wine, each of 240 gallons."
http://public-library.uk/dailyebook/Wine%20and%20wine%20countries%20-%20a%20record%20and%20manual%20for%20wine%20merchants%20and%20wine%20consumers.pdf Also in the chapter titled WINES OF GERMANY on page 91 "The use of these large casks has been discarded for many years, as it was found that the wines did not mature in them so well as in smaller ones. Those now in use are called "stuck," and contain about seven ohms, of thirty gallons each." Each time the word is used stuck has the double dot over the letter u, but copying and pasting that in Firefox turns it into a regular letter u.

Comment: There's original research going on behind the nomination here, which is fine, but I'm not aware of any secondary source that has concluded this unit is invented or does not exist, despite being referenced in multiple books. So, our sourcing suggests the unit does exist, but may be obscure. Many words are coined out of misinterpretations of other languages. But as to this AFD, is there really enough to have a separate article on this unit? Our goal as an encyclopedia is to serve our readers, and a one-sentence stub on this obscure unit does not strike me as useful to readers. It provides no context in this format. As I commented in the 2015
bundled AFD, shouldn't this be redirected to some list of related sizes (just as our sources do it)? An analogy might be
List of English terms of venery, by animal; most of these terms are not actually used

Keep - Yes, "Stueck" means "piece" in German, but this does not make it not a unit if the references say it is one. It is quite possible that this began as a misunderstanding (if that's what it was) but became a customary unit later.
For example you can see it being used as a unit here in 1972 and
here in 1864. In fact, since it appears to have been used as a unit in the 1860's it's origin cannot have been in the 1870's. At the very least references show it being used as a unit more than a hundred years before Cardarelli, so it cannot be any mistake on their part. PS - as for the matter of whether this and many other articles about customary units should be moved to Wiktionary, I think that's a matter for another discussion.

Imaginatorium's analysis of the bogus Cardarelli book's coverage of Japanese units is, AFAICT, accurate, which makes me extremely loath to trust it on stuff that isn't Japanese. We have the same problem with "Harvard University Press"'s Japan Encyclopedia, a completely ridiculous work that very few legit scholars actually looked at closely enough to see the problems, and the NIST source and others seem to have fallen into the same trap as most of the "reliable secondary sources" cited in our Japan Encyclopedia article (which was created in response to me bringing the book to RSN because I noticed the problems with it -- fortunately in that case at least one legit scholar in the real world had also noticed the problems). I am not opposed to the recreation of an article on this subject if reliable secondary sources actually discussing the problem can be located.

Some authors of the resources mentioned in the article are scientists and refuting their claims needs a more scientific approach. Approving NIST is unreliable also needs more scientific approach. I appreciate Imaginatorium's work as he/she placed a lot of effort as a Wikipedia contributor, but, his work is much more un-reliable as there is a lot of personnel opinions are still there in his work. Somehow his/her work is leading to improving the articles. Japanese units are separate issue which is not relevant to this unit.

Japanese units are separate issue which is not relevant to this unit also makes no sense in this context; if a source is too old and makes too many errors, we can't hang an article on it, even if many of the errors are concentrated on a separate but closely related topic.

Jan Gyllenbok, a stub created by a SPA in 2018, the year of publication of this book, but who was previously mentioned in
Historical metrology, itself a page with a curious history. Anyway, I can't help looking for his version of Japanese units, and wow is it wonky?! A series of purported weights based on the Imperial system, and based on a source called "CARD" has the following sequence (in bold; items separated by slashes; the apostrophe is clearly a left-quote): its ‘ko-koo / itho / ischo / its-go / pun / rin... apart from 'rin' this is more, new, garbage. ¶ But back to "Stuck": Cardarelli writes "stuck (hock)"...

Self fulfilling prophecy regarding notability and lack of sources."There are no sources, so it must be deleted." Ipse dixit doesn't cu8t it here.
Keep. I'm becoming increasingly skeptical of all these AfD nominations based on the premise that Cardarelli is an unreliable source. Finding a mistake in Cardarelli does not mean that suddenly the entire work has to be thrown out. No scholarly source has been put forward that criticises Cardarelli in any way, or even pointing out any of the claimed mistakes. I am especially concerned that it is now being argued that the highly regarded academic publisher Springer is also unreliable due them once being fooled into publishing hoax articles. The IEEE, also highly regarded, was also taken in by the same hoax. I note that the evidence offered above for this is an article in Nature, which merely reports that the offending articles had been withdrawn, not that the publishers were now considered intrinsically unreliable. Ironically, it was Nature, the premier science journal in the world, that published one of the most famous hoaxes of all time –
Piltdown Man. Frankly, if we are to reject every book or article that comes from a publisher that has ever been taken in by a hoax, or has published an article with an error, we won't be left with much in the way of sources at all.
The idea that sources that put the unit in italics are to be rejected is just out-and-out nonsense. Sure, that might show that the source considers it to be a foreign word, but so what? It still is a unit and being a foreign unit does not detract from its notability on English Wikipedia. Finally, the
Journal of the Society of Arts uses takes the German "stück" to be 1200 litres. This article is from 1873, so clearly is not copied from Cardarelli, it clearly uses the word to mean a unit of volume, not piece, and is clearly a reliable source, although doubtless they have been taken in by a hoax sometime in their history.

there are no elected members at any public level of any country where it participates to elections; an anonymous suggested in the discussion page to wait for the result of the next European elections, but my logics (which might well be wrong) brings me back to the logic that this article could be used indeed as a promo, rather than an encyclopedia content I leave it up to you for discussion --

Youth chess player who lacks at the moment the required notability. Doesn't meet
WP:GNG, doesn't meet the project notability guidelines
Wikipedia:NCHESS. A Women FIDE Master is the third level of specific
Women titles, which have lower thresholds than the general Chess Master titles (which are also open to women). There are as of March 2019 nearly 3,000 women chess players who have the same or a higher Women FIDE level. As far as I can see, she hasn't won any major senior titles (she did win the U14 European women's title).

Not really a contradiction, there is always a bottom line where something is important but aspects of it aren't. An organisation can be notable without the chairman being notable, and so on. For these tournamens, we have articles on the championship as a whole, but not for individual championships by year, which indicates that this is not a truly important title. It even has an U8 category, we should not be creating articles for 7 or 8 year old chess players (in fact, I'll go and nominate
Ece Alkim Erece for deletion now).

Keep The text itself is very useful and actually has many accompanying elements, especially many photographs with captions as well as explanatory titles, which do add encyclopedic value.

Keeping the article helps the politician, removing it hurts the politician. Because the politician was caught falsely inflating her education earlier, she has highlighted her status as an alum of this school (not the same one as in the scandal) in an apparent attempt to showcase her top-notch background and maybe distract from the scandal. Keeping the article raises the status of the school, complementing her recent effort at damage control, deleting it does the opposite.--

Comment - The above being said, the question is whether the subject meets community standards for an article. I say it does. We've had numerous RfCs over the years trying to delineate a written standard and indeed we do periodically change the written standard. However, it has always been and I'd suggest it will always be the community consensus as illustrated by what happens here at AfD that we keep all legitimate diploma granting secondary schools. Wikipedia operates on consensus not rules.

Yes,
Tyw7. The standard for a diploma granting school is now and always has been much closer to
GEOFEAT than GNG. You are clearly not disputing the school's existence. That's more than adequately shown, much better than many school articles.

Keep -- We normally allow articles for Secondary Schools (which this is). This was to some extent a pragmatic policy as pupils are likely to want to create articles about their own schools. As an English medium school, this is likely to have a higher profile than Hindi-medium schools as its alumni are more likely to get good jobs, as a result of that education.

Keep as (I know it would be really hard to prove it), but this school is one of the better known ones in the West Delhi area. Delhi has numerous schools (given its population of 22 million), but only a few schools are well known enough (or perceived by parents to provide a good standard of education). For the record, I knew the name of his school as far back in the 90s, much before Wikipedia. When I decide whether to vote keep or delete, I believe that it is important to also consider the age of the school, newspaper reports, as well as whether the school has any famous alumni. The school is close to 50 years old and it has 2 generations of alumni, which can be verified from this report in
DailyMail. This is also the sister school of
Don Bosco School (Alaknanda, New Delhi), another well known school (verified from
[11]). I understand the lack of coverage, but back in the 90s or 2000s, I distinctly remember that the activities hosted by the school (inter-school sports events, extracurricular activities) would appear in the pages of Hindustan Times/Times of India. Unfortunately I don't have access to the archives anymore so I cannot find it. The vandalism incident as well as the Smriti Irani controversy both add to the fact that people could reasonably search Wikipedia for more information about this school, so I guess we can keep this article.--

Keep I have found and added some more references, and I think that the subject does meet
WP:GNG. The book Unveiling the Muse certainly does have significant coverage of this krewe, as does the New Orleans Advocate article, and other articles include relevant information. I think that the article could use some editing - it doesn't really have a lede paragraph, and I'm not sure that so much background info is necessary when there is a WP article about
krewes (but I have more experience with biographies than other kinds of article, so I may be wrong).
If the article is not kept, then it should not be deleted - even if this krewe is not considered notable on its own, the gay krewes in New Orleans certainly are, so a combined article on all of them would be preferable to deletion - but I believe that they are notable, this one certainly, so it should be kept.

There is a wiki, a YouTube video, advertising sites, and so on. I also searched for sources, including trying the search terms that Spearmint210 (the creator of the article) suggested above, but for some reason didn't do himself/herself. I found the company's own web site, LinkedIn, this Wikipedia article, advertising sites, and similar, but nothing of any value. (Typical of most of the pages I found were one on a site which says "We stay in business because software vendors pay us when they receive web traffic directly from our site" and one which says "Get your products listed on Dentalcompare today!") This article is an attempt to use Wikipedia to promote a business which does not come anywhere near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Would you be willing to give me a few days to rewrite the article to include information from secondary sources that improve notability? After that, you could reassess for notability - if it is still not notable, then I would understand the article's deletion.
The main reason that the article is largely dependent on primary sources is due to it being largely a translation of the
Norwegian article, which uses roughly the same sources. However, I'm sure more rewrites would make this article notable. Sound okay? -

Comment She isn’t a notable person to have an article, the arabic articles you’re talking about are hoax, I can understand arabic and everything written is hoax, the brands written in the wikipedia aren’t true, the show even isn’t true that she was on it, everything is fake, fake fame just for a wikipedia article? and the miss egypt universe title (the only official competition that was on Fox TV (One of the best known channels in the US) and steve harvey hosted it. another egyptian girl was miss egypt universe, stop this hoax please this wikipedia should be deleted as soon as possible, and she was trying to put her name on the miss universe list and you can check the page’s log, everything is fake and hoax, thank you for understanding. your sources isn’t right there is no legit or “True” source, just a few arabic articles and they’re all fake. thank you so much. — Preceding

Comment: Please be civil in your discourse. Also, you are making claims that appear contrary to the sourcing offered. Please provide reliable sources for your claim that these are a hoax. We cannot simply take your word that these are a hoax. Frankly, I find it difficult to believe that all these seemingly reliable sources are part of a hoax.

Comment First, thank you for calling me uncivil, second, If u understand arabic you’ll notice that all the sources aren’t reliable, and the info in the article isn’t correct, you can look it up, third and for a million times, she isn’t a notable person to have a wikipedia article for her, thank you. and in response to the first comment, if a team or a different group of people are trying to delete the article this means this article isn’t worth to be on wikipedia, thank you.
can you tell me which one of the sources is unreliable or hoax?! you wrote she is not notable, she is miss Egypt 2018 and went on to compete representing Egypt in Miss world 2018 which is a worldwide competition, my question is we should nominate wikipedia page of all of Miss Egypt's for deletion? please vote in discussion fairly. you added 2 times speedy deletion and an admin reverted your edits because was considering as vandalism edits and then put AFD tag although I received review tag, and article has been reviewed.

Keep I've added 1 more reliable source, other references in article are reliable, too. The subject by title of Miss 2018 Egypt and participated on Miss 2018 World can prove notability of subject.

Neither of these individuals is commonly known as "S. Gomez". We do not routinely create disambiguation pages of the form first initial, last name unless there are actually multiple people who are known by that moniker.

Delete or, as 2nd choice, redirect to
Gómez, the surname page. Not standard to create such pages, so anyone creating an article on a
Sue Gomez would not think to add it to this dab page, creating confusion. See also discussion at
Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2019_May_19#Tswift where several "initial plus surname" redirects are under discussion and this dab page gets a mention.

Delete or a weak redirect to
Gómez. This isn't an appropriate form of disambiguation if none of the people listed are known as "S. Gomez".

Delete my survey of sources did not turn up anything to pass
WP:GNG or any other notability measure. The articles I do find tend to point towards "non-notability" rather than "notability" … Someone else have may more luck...--

The article appears to be self promotion, with only one newspaper mention of a factory opening, and two links to its corporate sites. Orville1974 (

Delete. No sources have been cited regarding this television character, unless you count general references to seasons of the TV show he is from, and certainly not any secondary sources. --

Per
WP:LOGIC. There is no reason to give every freaking characters on every show an article. Makes no freaking sense. This site is supposed to be an Encyclopedia, we have Fandom sites for stuff like this and list of characters. Most Wikipedians have never even heard of Oz. UGH

The result was Keep but consider repurposing. But consider repurposing the article to be about the death(s). People have made valid claims about the notability of the latter event(s), while the discussion of the individual leans more into the "not notable" direction

WP:NPERSON. Only coverage from trivial mention in Amnesty International document and primary source interview with subject's son. Speedy denied because article claims Saremi was longest serving political prisoner in Iran, which provided sources do not support.

@
Etzedek24: - the death seems more notable than the life; that's what brought out the human rights repsonse. And as a series, the prisoner deaths become more notable. Ideally, there would be one article about the series of Iranian prisoner deaths, and the associated human rights response, with a list of victims, but until someone writes that article, I think renaming the existing articles to focus on each individual's murder is a step closer to consolidating the series Orville1974 (

Keep I agree with the above, that this passes the test of notability and is a significant beginning. If someone is able to do more let them take off from here. Do be careful, though, this may be risky business.

Keep and rename per
WP:HEY,
WP:BIO1E and Orville1974. The sources added since it was listed meet the GNG, though the article and coverage are mostly centered around 1 event.

GNG. I'm seeing what appear to be some fan sites and some site called "We love soaps", which I do not believe can be considered reliable sources.
