Comment - There is quite an extensive article about Supermemo, and another on spaced repetition. Can't parse whether it is promo or notable. I wikilinked Supermemo and put it in the Algorithms category, in case that helps anyone. I personally think it is probably too soon for what, as far as I can tell, is Supermemo3 (?) but I have no strong feelings about this either way. My goal was to get it off the uncategorized list and I thought I wwould comment while here. I did not try to wikilink the more common keywords, like UI and Ai and algorithm.

spaced repetition) and algorithms (
Supermemo) the app employs may be notable, this is not the only software to use either of these, and their use does not contribute to notability of this software.

No, it does not. Prior to RFD, in rural areas one had to go to the post office to get one's mail, so there were post offices spread pretty thickly over the land in any place that could accommodate them, including people's houses. They had to have a name because that's how the system worked before zip codes, but it didn't mean the place was anything like a town. Isoalted railroad stations, for example, were routine.

The result was no consensus. Opinion is divided between merge and keep, with the latter side arguing that the sources for even the idea suffice to establish notability.

Yoninah do proposed building projects have an actual plan, and a proposed budget, released to the media? All I see is a president of Poland mentioning in a news conference that Poland would like such a base, and hoping to gain an edge on the possibility by saying they'd name it after the guy who has influence over the Congressional purse strings. And the whole idea seemed to have died when someone asked who would pay for it. If there is one thing we have learned in the last 4 years, it's that what is an "I think we should have ... " one day, becomes old news by the time a new thought passes through someone's head. That, and the fact that some people later deny they ever said such a thing, that something was misquoted, or that the media got it wrong as "Fake News". An American military base in any country is good for that country's economy. But this one appears to not have been much more than wishful thinking.

Delete The GNG creates the presumption that a topic is worth including, but it specifically states that other considerations from
WP:NOT may lead to exclusion even for topics that otherwise have sufficient sourcing. So while this is a topic that has certainly been covered in reliable, independent, secondary sources, it is still not appropriate for inclusion because it is essentially
a news report. The base does not exist; it's not even clear that the base will exist. All of the content is essentially unrelated to "Fort Trump", and only uses it as
a coat rack for general information on US-Polish military relations since 2020. What's salvageable can be merged to
Poland–United States relations, but this is essentially a POV fork that gives undue coverage to a recent event. —

Keep I think even from an historical viewpoint, the effort to build a permanent base in Poland for US troops is a notable event and something worth have a Wikipedia page on for people researching such things, even if it isn't built, the developments surrounding its plan to be built and the change in strategic focus is notable information.

For the record as a Keep !voter (but not speaking on behalf of all Keepers), I oppose this based on our

Keep There are all sorts of proposals for international agreements that have yet to be finalized or are only in discussion phases that, due to coverage, pass
WP:GNG. Here are a few examples:
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership,
Multilateral Agreement on Investment,
Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty,
Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism,
Beilin–Abu Mazen agreement,
Convention of Chuenpi, etc. As per the article, this is not only (and potentially even less) a literal proposal for a fort, but the colloquial name used to refer to a proposed strategic repositioning of U.S. military forces to Poland and bilateral military framework between the U.S. and Poland. Finally, since the term "Fort Trump" is frequently invoked in media reports without further context, it's reasonable to assume our readers may search for it. With the GNG threshold crested there's, therefore, no policy-based reason for a redirect. The merge proposal is unworkable as the volume of preservable content in this article would easily overwhelm the current Poland-U.S. relations article and would be inconsistent with the commonly accepted guidance described by
WP:MERGEREASON.

Chetsford I think it is a given that as the article creator, you would want to keep this. But just because a term is bandied about in the news media, does not automatically qualify it to be an article in Wikipedia. This fort does not exist at this point. Your arguments above, while sincere, amount to
a news report. Not only is this an article about something that does not exist, it's about something that never will exist.

Thanks, Maile. I appreciate your detailed response. In surrebuttal:
amount to a news report Per our
WP:NOTNEWS policy, Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. This is a subject that has received significant, verifiable coverage in RS spanning a period of three years and is, therefore, not covered by NOTNEWS.
This fort does not exist at this point. This is not a policy-based argument so I can't address it directly. However, we frequently cover proposed agreements, compacts, and treaties under discussion if they meet our
WP:GNG. See all examples I cited above. Also, based on your references to "this fort", I believe you may not understand the subject of the article. This is not an article about "a fort". This is an article about a bilateral defense framework that is colloquially referred to by the proposed name of a base that would be included in it.
Comment In response to a recent addition to the OP
[6] by the nom, I'd like to make a responsive note that I'm threading new here for ease of readability. Reuters news media quoted a US official as saying “There is no Fort Trump.” Three days after Reuters reported that it issued a new report
[7] quoting a different US official that there would be a "Fort Trump". In
Dark Matter we include reports of those who say it does not exist, and those who say it does. These are entirely appropriate subjects for discussion on the article's Talk page. They don't demonstrate how an article meets our deletion policy.

Chetsford one thing you and I have illustrated here, is that there is much confusing and conflicting source information on this subject matter. Bear in mind that there needs to be funding to get this off the ground.
WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL. After all the puffery and false information (about every subject imaginable) that has flown about in the last 4 years, I think Wikipedia would do well on this one to hold off. Later down the road, if Congress votes for funding to establish such a base - or funding is signed off on elsewhere - then it can be an article. Right now, it's just chatter in the wind.
I have concerns about a pattern we've seen repeated over the last 3+ years, or even 4 years back to the previous election, is that the individual involved here has himself been the source of much confusing information, often putting others (including foreign dignitaries) up to publicly dropping his name into the conversation in hopes of gaining favor or getting something they want that the public is not informed about. We don't know what conversation ensued between the two individuals before they walked out to that press conference. Right now, the fort is not a reality as of this date.

After all the puffery and false information (about every subject imaginable) that has flown about in the last 4 years, I think Wikipedia would do well on this one to hold off. In general, I like the proposal you've made to adopt a higher threshold than the GNG for American Politics articles. If you propose this at the Village Pump I will most certainly support it. That said, the proposal you're making (which, as I read it, is that we should delete just to be careful due to a pattern of superfluous articles on related topics) is not currently supported by any existing policy and the middle of an AfD isn't the venue to adopt new policies. Deleting an article and erasing knowledge can only be done on WP in response to a fairly limited set of circumstances and we should delete an article becausethe individual involved here has himself been the source of much confusing information, often putting others (including foreign dignitaries) up to publicly dropping his name into the conversation in hopes of gaining favor or getting something they want that the public is not informed about is not one of those circumstances.

Keep. This proposed Fort has generated a lot of RS coverage and interest, and there is no requirement that a project actually be realised and built for it to satisfy GNG. I don't think a redirect to Poland US relations is an appropriate target for this either. It is not that significant in the context of that page, but also has other significance which isn't to do with bilateral relations between the two countries. I don't see a good reason why the coverage of this notable proposal should not reside exactly where it is. —

Keep and move to Soldiers' Committees to cover the entire area of 'committees' in the Russian Imperial Army beyond just the field army-level version. The committees were distinct organizations from the Petrograd Soviet and an important factor in the disintegration of the Russian Imperial Army during the Revolution. For example, Allan K. Wildman devotes an entire
chapter to them in The End of the Russian Imperial Army and there is much discussion in Reese, The Russian Imperial Army, 1796-1917. There are also articles mentioning them, for example, Werth,
Russia 1917: The Soldiers' Revolution. As can be seen from the Russian wikipedia article, there were also at least two books written about them by Soviet historians. The level of English-language academic treatment of these committees shows that they are independently notable.

non-notable musician. I researched the claims of reaching "gold" however it's a meaningless claim as there is no body certifying it and it is in fact based on comments from the subject himself. Nothing else has charted and after a cleanup and removal of gossip and non-rs we are left with no actual coverage in the article's sources nor any others I can find. Oh and the claim of being signed to
Universal Music Group cannot be verified - the only sources that reported this were literally one published by the subject and press releases from the subject.

Delete - a non-notable rapper. Couldn't find anything reliable about him, just the usual junk sites like Spotify, Deezer, SoundCloud, Apple Music, Facebook etc. The only thing that is halfway acceptable is an interview - but the reliability of the site looks dubious at best. Rest of the results are not about him, as usual. So to summarize, he is just another of those musicians who are still up-and-coming, and haven't been noticed by notable media. Being on social media pages and streaming sites still does not establish any notability.

Redirect - to
Steve Wright in the Afternoon. Is anyone actually looking at the sources? He works at BBC, so the BBC channel listings and page do not establish notability. I mean, nearly all of these are just channel listings and do not actually discuss Smith in depth.. the exception is his 'personal' page, but again, he's an employee - of course he's going to get a page. He gets the most passing possible mention in a radiotoday article ("other members of the posse including Tim Smith")... this does not establish notability. A listing in a chart in a book about radio (it literally lists his name on a schedule, it does not discuss him in any detail whatsoever).. then there are more listings of his podcast(s), including a listing of his podcast on Apple Podcasts. Riva Media is associated with him and the cite is promotional. The Bae Systems corporate blog post is promoting Bae systems (look, Tim Smith talked to someone at Bae). None of these are independent, in-depth sources. None of these sources establish notability. Should redirect to the show he is apparently associated with.

Keep DJs are hard to classify under the various entertainment and music SNGs, but I see adequate indicia of notability based upon multiple jobs on various programs and long-term. If sporadic coverage. this guy was significant in the pre-google days, so there’s the possibility of expansion from old print archives.

Draftify per
BD2412's initial close. As
El Cid notes in their excellent analysis of the sources, we don't have anything to show a pass of
WP:GNG here. (I did a
WP:BEFORE-style search and couldn't find anything either. Quick note: the BBC isn't a homogeneous entity, so it's possible that some BBC sources—a BBC News article, say—might be sufficiently editorially independent of BBC Radio to count towards GNG. But what we've got is stuff to do with Radio 2, which clearly isn't independent.) On the other hand, by the admittedly-subjective standard of "I've heard of this guy", it seems weird that sources don't exist, and, as
Montanabw notes, he has had a long and varied career that doesn't rule out sources existing somewhere, in print media, say. However, to quote BD's initial close, neither does policy permit the article to remain in mainspace with no secondary sources and no indication that such sources exist.
YorkshireLad ✿ (talk)10:58, 15 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Draftify as per the initial closing or Redirect. There is no in-depth coverage in independent RS in the article whatsoever. Of the 11 sources 5 are from the BBC his employer, 2 are links to his own podcast, 1 is his profile on his agent's page, 1 is a link to BAE for a podcast he made for them. So that's 9 out of 11 that are affiliated. Of the remaining 2, one is from an unsigned 6 sentence obit' that says this about him "Joyce Frost was a regular on the Big Show for many years, appearing alongside other members of the posse including Tim Smith..." and the last is a radio studies text book dating from 2013 that lists him on a figure describing the 1st hour of the Steve Wright Show. GNG is most definitely not shown to have been met. The keep !votes seem to say "keep because I can't believe that this guy is not notable even if the sources don't point to it". I could find nothing else in a search possibly due to his very common name. If had made an impact on the profession there should be coverage of him somewhere, I can't even find anything said about him by his colleagues. --

Excellent analysis. I left the UK in the early 90s when Wright was still on Radio 1 so have never heard of this guy. Maybe if I'd listened to him every day I would be convinced he should be notable but I haven't so I can only go by the sources which do not support notability.

This only tells you one (maybe two) editor's opinions and not why a particular source is or is not unsuitable. That you only mention Radio 1 (he's been on Radio 2 mostly daily for the past 20 years, as noted and cited in the article) suggests you need to read what the sources say and not worry about rules, regulations and quantity of text.
Ritchie333(talk)(cont)10:37, 23 August 2020 (UTC)reply
I always thought that when notability guidelines are not met then GNG applies and notability in an AFD has to be shown using sources and not what is written in the article. If we should be assuming notability from his career then maybe create a guideline for radio DJs. I know Wright is on radio 2 from the article but as I said I have never listened to his show so I have never heard of Tim Smith so I'm not influenced by my personal opinion and can only base my opinion on the sources as I try to do with all AFD. And BTW about half a dozen or so of my close relatives (father, mother, brother, uncle, cousins etc) work/ed in television and radio including the BBC other national radios and regional and national television and from personal experience I am not at all convinced by the argument that the different BBC sources are independent of each other.

Greer was a registered nurse, and it took 13 years for her patent to be ...", which sounds promising.Even if we don't have a lot of info, the very fact, solidly sourced, that she patented a valuable refinement, rather than the whole thing, will be useful info for readers who follow her up from one of the over-enthusiastic pieces about her.

You are suggesting that we source articles to gee-whiz lists that are obviously wrong on many, perhaps most, of their contentions? (And, worst of all, from some perspectives, you are suggesting that we use sources that are obviously wiki-circular?)
Next, there is absolutely no evidence that she invented “a valuable refinement”. Her invention...or, rather, repurposing, is just one of many ways to make a single-handed enema syringe. It isn’t used now, and it may have never been.
Your third source is a high school science teacher, writing in a small local paper, or a blog associated with it, who appears to believe that insulin is normally delivered rectally. That doesn’t exactly reek of authority. Here’s an excerpt from one of the “sources” used: “It is said that once in 1882, Maria Beasely took a look out at the sea from her room’s window and said, “People should, like, stop dying in huge transportation disasters.” She was a famous scientist of her times, and is the woman behind the creation of Lift Raft, a machine that makes barrels. Due to this creation, she earned a lot of money and became a millionaire in shorter timeframe.“ Yeah, that’s scholarship.

Notability on Wikipedia requires multiple in depth sources to be met in order to meet the
WP:GNG, this usually translates to a minimum of three. Unfortunately she falls short of that. As much as I would like women's hockey to be covered more in the media, and believe me I do, it just isn't. A good example is the professional team in Boston (a hockey/sports crazy town) won the championship and the local paper didn't even have a single article on the local team winning the league championship. That pretty much sums up the state of professional women's hockey. The top level of women's hockey is still amateur where Olympic players still get fairly decent coverage relatively speaking. -

I’m ambivalent about the deletion of this particular bio but I think the discussion here and recent discussions on the
Women's ice hockey task force talk page demonstrate that there’s a schism regarding how women’s ice hockey is regulated on Wikipedia. It would be best for us to be address these differences in perspective before the situation deteriorates. First, the suggestion that there is no coverage of women’s ice hockey in North America appears to be several years out of date and is easily disproven with a quick google (the name of the team you were referencing may be the “Boston Pride” and the
Boston Globe wrote about the Pride and the 2020 NWHL playoffs, as did many other news agencies). Women’s ice hockey has turned a corner in North America, particularly since the NWHL began streaming on Twitch in 2019, and the league’s expansion to Toronto has only ramped up interest. At a certain point, removing articles about women’s ice hockey players for not being notable is a self-fulfilling prophecy; the information gleaned from Wikipedia bios is used by news organizations to determine who and what to write about. We can’t expect every journalist to be familiar with the subject and the dearth of information about women’s ice hockey on Wikipedia may be actively limiting the amount of journalistic coverage it recieves. Second, there appears to be a total disregard for women’s ice hockey occurring outside of North America, which has remarkably good coverage in several countries. Most notable is the coverage of the
SDHL in Sweden, which is quite good and articles regularly appear in the
Aftonbladet,
Dalarnas Tidningar publications, and the
Göteborgs-Posten, among others. The SDHL also holds the distinction of having the most internationally-varied rosters, with players joining from the top leagues around the world, including the NCAA, Naisten Liiga, ZhHL, DFEL, SWHL A, etc. The league’s coverage must be close to that of several of the leagues listed in the third tier of NHOCKEY (looking at you
Beneliga and
Belarusian Extraleague). As an aside, several of the top women’s leagues (NWHL, ZhHL, SDHL, etc.) are
semi-professional, not
amateur. Referring to these leagues as amateur is both semantically flawed and implies a lack of respect that I am sure was not intended. I hope that, through further discussion, we will be able to find common ground and better understanding. –

While I too would like to encourage writers to write more about women's hockey being that I am a hockey fan and more hockey is always good. Wikipedia actively says it is not here to give exposure to something/someone we feel should be getting it that isn't per
WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. Our job here is to record what media/sources are already reporting on. Not what they should be reporting on. And as a side note, I never said no coverage, I said there wasn't enough coverage. As for semi-professional vs amateur, not sure where anyone mentioned that. But I would note, in North America anyway semi-professional is generally considered more amateur than professional, its why we usually use the term "fully professional" on Wikipedia for some of the sports criteria. For example the
Canadian Hockey League gives a stipend to its players so to the NCAA it is considered semi-professional, but you would be hard pressed to find anyone outside of the administrators of the NCAA call it anything but amateur. -

I didn't say that Boston never covered women's hockey. I mentioned a specific event that they didn't cover. Winning the league championship. Not covering what would in any other sport be considered the most newsworthy event in a sport goes a long way to showing how under the radar and not notable to the media something is. I also mentioned Olympic coverage was good, so not sure what you are trying to show me by mentioning the Olympic coverage. It is specifically professional coverage that is lacking in regards to articles about specific players as opposed to leagues or routine game coverage. -

That is the general criteria for sports that don't have a section below it on that page. Because hockey has a more specific section below hockey players follow it. There was actually a discussion recently on that section reaffirming that was how it works. -

Delete very hard to search for because there are a lot of mentions of "village" relating to Rio de Janeiro, but since it's completely unsourced, has no corresponding article in the Portuguese Wikipedia, and doesn't show up on mapping services at the claimed coordinates it's fair to assume it doesn't exist until proven otherwise.

These are somewhat morbid examples of
genealogical entries. The subjects were the children of public figures who died in an accident aged 4 and 6, respectively. There is no significant coverage as required by
WP:BASIC and
WP:GNG nor can there realistically be any: they are known exclusively for the accident (
WP:BLP1E) and their relationship to adult figures (
WP:INVALIDBIO). The content of the articles is identical, and they are also very similar to the
recently deleted article about their likewise short-lived sister. All the information about their lives and deaths are already found in the articles about their parents, who died with them, and that should suffice.

Keep - As of
Prince Ludwig of Hesse and by Rhine his notability is mentioned in the article "He was the first great-great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria". Only one person can be this, and as it is it happens to be Prince Ludwig of Hesse and by Rhine. And for this nomination in general it's improper, since it suggests "The content of the articles is identical" which they are not. Therefore this is from the beginning a biased and improper nomination.

I don't think it makes sense to merge to Turck because there's nothing substantive to merge, and I don't think it makes sense to redirect to Turck because they're not similar enough that a redirect is warranted.

Yebuah Mensah (this article) was an early player in the Ghana Highlife scene but all sources indicate that he was just one of many musicians in the scene. He made some news once by giving an interview about his brother,
E.T. Mensah, who is definitely a notable musician. Anything said by Yebuah while taking about his brother's influence can be used as support over there. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Keep: This is outrrageous, and an attempt to write important aspects of the history of the
Duchy of Brunswick and of the
German Empire out of the history. He was the firstborn son of the last crownprince of Hannover, and thus Hereditary Prince of HanoverandHereditary Prince for the Duchy of Brunswick. He died in a much talked about car-accident of it's time, wich is referenced in several books. Most important he was suggested as Duke of Brunswick in 1906, but this was turned down by the German Bundesrat on 28 February 1907. His death in 1912 had the unexpected consequence, that his only surviving brother Ernest Augustus was sent to Berlin to thank the Emperor for his condolence upon the death of George William. Ernest Augustus met the daughter of the Emperor, they fell in love, were married and he was eventually granted the Duchy of Brunswick. Since neither the the nominator Surtsicna nor any of the other four users (Johnpacklambert, Nika2020, Smeat75 & TimothyBlue) who have commented on the nomination so far have cared to comment or look into these aspects of the life and death of George William, Hereditary Prince of Hanover then their comments and arguments so far are erroneous and can not be given any truly weight in this nomination discussion.

I have looked at it and I find the idea that someone can be notable for providing a matchmaking opportunity by dying to be, quite frankly, ridiculous. That the subject of this article was ever considered a potential duke of Brunswick is new to me; the German Wikipedia's articles about him and his father do not mention it and I cannot find it on Google Books.

The Brunswick succession story is one of the most important claims in the article (for the "matchmaking", we don't need a standalone biography). Interestingly, the

Comment.Bearian and the many other applicable contributors, while I appreciate the intent behind the numerous alerts and notifications requesting my participation in these deletion requests for royal biography articles, I would respectfully like to decline involvement in these discussions. In the case of this article and others like it, I created or expanded them primarily between 2005 and 2009—well over ten years ago. I’ve now been a contributor to Wikipedia for over 15 years, and I have learned and grown a lot as a writer and editor during this time, especially in my compliance with Wikipedia’s guidelines and standards. In my opinion, it is clear that this article does not meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, and I would not have published it today. With all that said, the continued alerts and notifications to these deletion discussions are like endless intercom announcements requesting my presence in the office of the principal or headmaster for an unnecessary reprimand. There is clearly consensus here, and in the other discussions, to delete or redirect the articles, so my participation is not helpful or useful. I would like to extend a thank you to
Surtsicna for not involving me in these discussions. I thank you all for taking the time to assess these articles for their notability, and for taking action to delete or redirect them as consensus warrants. Moving forward, I ask that you continue to assess the notability of each of these articles and their compliance with Wikipedia guidelines as they currently exist. —

The article looks like a mere genealogical entry, being mostly about to whom she is related (see
WP:NOTGENEALOGY policy). There is talk of a missionary and charity work but it is sourced to a single article that was apparently published by The Daily Mirror, therefore being tabloid journalism. Looking it up further online has not produced any noteworthy results, so I doubt there is significant coverage to establish notability per

(Previously prodded and de-prodded) This was Microsoft's former method of certification of add-ins for
Microsoft Dynamics. The two links provided are now dead. The article itself is little more than a press release of what CFMD entailed. There are no external reliable sources of information about it.

@
Devokewater: Having an article about certifications is useful, I agree. However, this certification no longer exists. All information about it has been scrubbed from Microsoft websites and there was never any third party information about it to begin with. So it would be patently impossible to write an article about it that meets our
verifiability and
reliable sources rules. And whereas certifications like
Microsoft Certified Professional are a meaningful topic to discuss independent of any particular product, CFMD is really just a certification program for one product and there is really nothing encyclopedic to say about it other than maybe a one-liner in the article about that product. --

It generally fails to meet
WP:GNG as
WP:BASIC, failing to receive significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. In particular:
(1) The article currently shows her as "presidential candidate" in the 2016 and 2019 Spanish general elections (note that such figure of "presidential candidate" does not currently exist in Spain in the English-meaning of the term, since the country is a monarchy). While in those elections she ran as her party's candidate for national deputy, she failed to get elected (securing about 20-40 votes out of an electorate of over 100,000 in the constituency for which she sought election, or about 0.05% of the votes that were validly cast, a result that is not even close to be relevant or notable), thus failing to pass notability for this condition alone as per
WP:POLOUTCOMES: Candidates who are running or unsuccessfully ran for a national legislature or other national office are not viewed as having inherent notability and are often deleted or merged into lists of campaign hopefuls.
(2) The other event for which she is listed as notable is one in January 2020 where she was "arrested and accused of fraud and impersonation of a public official". Factually, a search of her name in Google mostly gives results for this specific, single event. As per
WP:BLP1E/
WP:BIO1E, We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met: 1. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. 2. If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. [...] 3. If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented [...]. The event itself she is credited for is not even close to be significant enough to merit a stand-alone article, let alone justify an article for her.
It should also be noted that the article
was created in September 2016 (this is, almost 4 years before the single event she is mostly referred to in current sources) in what seemed a work of
promotion or even
self-promotion of this individual (considering that the original author is a
SPAwhose only contributions to Wikipedia have been to this article and the one of her party). Most of the sources added at first were gradually removed throughout the years either as primary or not significant ones, while the original content was deleted for the most part due to it being irrelevant and poorly referenced, leaving the article in its current state.
Impru20talk10:14, 13 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Delete the article is mainly inaccuate and makes claims that are just plain false, thus it is somewhere between a hoax and an article written by someone who did not at all understand the source material they were using. Either way nothing about her arrest adds up to actual notability nor do any other sources.

The result was no consensus. Despite the nominator's fairly extensive reasoning, there has not been a single other !vote to delete, and closing as such would be a
textbook supervote. The argument that we have many articles on state awards with official sourcing does hold water, yet we are currently in a gray area notability wise. There is no SNG directly relating to awards (though there should be-- even
the failed SNG only discusses it in the context of somebody winning it). It's not the place of an AFD closer to imagine a future SNG, and there does not seem to be a clear consensus regarding state awards (see
here where many !voters suggested awards must meet GNG and
here where many said the opposite). WIth no consensus to keep and keep !votes based on a presumption of notability that isn't necessarily agreed upon, we end up at no consensus. It's past time for an RFC on the topic.

I offer this suggestion with only goodwill, it will help you be a more productive member of the community and will make your time here more enjoyable. Also many experienced editors offer to mentor individuals, you might post something at the
WP:TEAHOUSE about getting a mentor to help you with notability and reliable sources; I have several I go to with questions, so I know it helps from personal experience, I'm not suggesting anything I don't already do. Another idea is thinking about getting into
Wikipedia:New pages patrol/School (this isn't new page patrol, but the principles cross over). If you can backup your positions with policies, guidelines and sources, you'll be much more effective here and it will help build a consensus instead of everyone just going back and forth.

WP:OSE says ...countering the keep or delete arguments of other people, or dismissing them outright, by simply referring them to this essay by name, and nothing else, is not encouraged. ... While these comparisons are not a conclusive test, they may form part of a cogent argument; an entire comment should not be dismissed because it includes a comparative statement like this. ... In consideration of precedent and consistency, though, identifying articles of the same nature that have been established and continue to exist on Wikipedia may provide extremely important insight into the general concept of notability, levels of notability (what's notable: international, national, regional, state, provincial?), and whether or not a level and type of article should be on Wikipedia. I think this is a case where an OSE argument is in fact a valid argumetn agaisnt deletion.
DES(talk)
Reply: Hi
DESiegel, I read what you wrote and genuinely appreciate your attempt to mediate this dispute. I have a four honest questions.
"by simply referring them to this essay by name, and nothing else, is not encouraged" Do you believe I have referred them to
WP:OSEand nothing else? I've mentioned OSE in one response and I also mentioned WP:N, WP:WWIN, and WP:RS with it. The rest of my comments I believe I have gone into detail about the policies and guidelines related to notability.
"they may form part of a cogent argument"' If it may form part of a cogent argument, what is the rest of the argument? I can't identify anything other than, it exists and it's an award from the government, so it must be notable which is refuted by
WP:WWIN"information should not be included in this encyclopedia solely because it is true or useful."
Do you believe the above essay is sufficient reason to set aside the notability guidelines cited and ignore the lack of independent, secondary sources that address the topic directly and in-depth? (I strongly suspect you don't believe this).
If OSE is a valid argument, how should it be weighed against arguments based on WP:N?
I understand your point about OSE being taken into account, I can see it in cases where the subject is borderline notable, but not in cases where there are no independent, secondary sources that address the topic directly and in-depth to establish notability. Forgive my firmness on this, I'm honestly not being stubborn just to be difficult. I see AdDs being decided based on votes, feelings and opinions and not based on !votes and reasonable, logical, policy-based arguments. I strongly believe this needs to change. If people feel that there should be an SNG guideline for evaluating award notability, they should propose such a guideline; its easy to do and the community can evaluate the issue. If this passes as Keep, I may propose such a guideline based on the reasoning here as a basis to support or reevaluate these articles. Until then we need to discuss based on existing guidelines and policies. //
Timothy :: talk20:39, 13 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Reply: I'm honestly trying to help people understand how to establish notability, so they will know that the closer is going to be looking for. Here are is an explanation of why all of the sources in the article fail to establish notability, including the ones just added.
Point 1: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail"
Point 3: ""Sources"should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability"
Point 4: ""Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it"
Under
WP:PRIMARYCARE it states "Secondary sources are needed to establish notability for the purposes of deciding which articles to keep." and under
WP:PSTS it states "Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability".
Six References:
This is material copied from a government websites by a government contractor. It is not independent of the subject. It is not a secondary source; it is a copy from primary source.
"Collection of Legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan" - This is a government publication. It is not a secondary source; It is a primary source. It is not independent of the subject.
From the "Ministry Of Defense Of Azerbaijan" It is not a secondary source; it is a primary source. It is not independent of the subject.
This is two sentences long. It states a few basic facts from the law. It does not discuss the subject indepth.
As the heading declares, this is a copy of an Official Document from the government. It is not a secondary source and it is not independent of the subject.
This is a government document. It is not a secondary source and it is not independent of the subject.
Note that the GNG is a guideline (not a policy). At the head of the page, as for pretty much every guideline page, it says ... is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.TimothyBlue's comments above seem to treat the GNG as absolute and unchallangable. There are a number of categories of articles where secondary sources are not required to support an article. An article about a legally recognized popular place, as per
WP:GEOLAND may be acepted base purely oin primary sources that show its existence. An article about a member of a national legislature is acceptable even if we have no more than primary official sources that establish that the person existed and was a member, as is the case for many historical legislators, particularly those prior to 1900. Such articles are accepted merely on official records of membership in a legislature, and perhaps official records of speeches made or votes cast. Articles about radio stations are accepted based purely on primary sources showing that they have been licensed and operated. Articles about secondary and tertiary schools are often accepted based just on primary sources showing that they existed, and perhaps were official government schools. In short, not all categories of articles require independent secondary sources. I am suggesting that medals and awards officially presented by a nation should be a similar category, that primary sources showing offici8al authorization of such awards and showing that they have, in fact, been presented, should be sufficient. I am arguing that a wide group of Wikipedia articles have been created and remained in existence on that basis, and that few of these have been challenged, and that in at least one case linked earlier in this discussion, such a challenge was made and rejected. There have, if I am not mistaken, been recent discussions at DRV suggesting that an AfD discussion may in good faith make a reasoned exception to the GNG, and that such local consensus will not be overturned by DRV. I am suggesting that a new SNG should be created to cover this case.

The result was no consensus. The discussion cannot in any way be read as a consensus to delete the article. The reasoning is not necessarily the best – that is why I have gone to no consensus despite that a bare headcount would yield a keep – but the views are clear. AFD is not, however, the place to propose or create SNGs; that would be a matter for an appropriate part of
WP:VP.
I do not express a view on renaming; that can be discussed on the article talk page.

Comment: HorrorNews.net is usually seen as a RS as far as horror movies go (it's not as strong as if it were Bloody Disgusting, but generally OK), but the other links go to blog type sites. That's pretty much the only source I'm seeing so far though. The closest I'm coming other than that so far is a listing
here, but it's not in-depth enough to where I'd consider it anything but a trivial source. I'm leaning towards delete but I'll give it a little more searching before calling it.

Weak keep. I honestly didn't expect to find any other sources that would be usable, but I found a review from AICN. I don't particularly like the site but as far as I know it's still seen as reliable. I also found a news article about the film screening. This would be an incredibly weak keep on my end but it's technically enough to pass NFILM at this point in time.

Reply: Hi
ReaderofthePack and
Atlantic306, thanks for the points you make. I'd ask you to consider this counter point.
WP:GNG says ""Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article".
WP:N says "Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice"". Is this movie genuinely worthy of notice? I think the actual reviews in the sites mentioned make it clear that this movie is not notable. Thanks for your input. //

Whether a review is positive or negative has no bearing on notability. In fact bad reviews at least prove the independence of the sources, its the existence of the reviews in reliable sources that shows that the film has been worthy of notice, imv

Keep: As Atlantic306 says, the quality of the film is not relevant to its notability; bad films can be just as notable as good ones. A Wikipedia page is not an endorsement for the subject. —

Former(?) business in Alabama, known apparently only for one event (

Your worthless comment about me not assuming good faith isn't assuming good faith. There's a legitimate reason I asked. 100% someone would pick those specific magazines if they knew those car magazines were in print during the time this car was produced. Just naming a couple of magazines that might have mentioned the car without providing specifics doesn't prove anything about notability. Anymore then it would do the same things with any other subject. --

Each AfD contains search links -- see above. The nominator is expected to conduct such searches but some people are better at it than others. All the sources I cited have something to say about the various models of Addison; that's why I listed them. Of course, as they were published over 100 years ago in the pre-Internet era, we don't have easy access. But we don't need all the details right now as, per
WP:NOTCLEANUP, we're not here to work on the article. Our job is to assess the nomination and I find it wanting.

Wow, really there's way to search for sources? Who would have thought and this whole time I assumed they just magically appeared out of thin air or something. You must have missed where I said did a before and nothing come up. Nothing usable for this car and the sources you say contain information about it comes up in the search links. Thanks for the useless education on how to use the internet though.
Anyway, the reason I asked is because you said "such as." Which doesn't sound like a 100% statement of the car being covered in those magazines to me. Maybe we don't technically need the details right now, but "AfDs are a place for rational discussion of whether an article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies. If you just think magazines "such as" those covered the car in-depth "because car magazines", but don't specifically know that they did, then I would say that's not a rational policy based argument. Like
WP:AFDFORMAT says "a pattern of groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive." IMO asserting that something exists, but saying you don't need to provide the proof that it does because "pre-internet era brah" or whatever would qualify as "proof by assertion." Which isn't a good keep argument. Not to mention your telling me that I would have found the sources if I had of done a basic search for them, but then your saying they aren't easy to find because "pre-internet era." Which is completely nonsensical. --

I've seen worse nominations than this... I suspect part of the struggle people have had with seeing the Google Books sources is they "search the internet", especially using the link above, and don't take it further by searching "auto" rather than "car" or for the name of the company. I suspect that folks like me from the pre-internet era may think more widely in terms of concepts rather than search terms because we had to use a card catalog and indices to find the minimum number of sources for a paper on Shakespeare's clowns or endangered wildlife or we'd end up in summer school. But that's just my opinion. And it isn't a criticism. Maybe it's fodder for my first essay.

Delete: It is not, the case that editors can just claim -- absent of actual proof -- that sources exist. They must actually produce them to meet
WP:SIGCOV, and the burden of proof is on editors seeking to retain the article. For all we know, after all, those "sources" are mere advertisements and press releases, and I'd be more trusting if there weren't recent cases of chicanery from an editor very ready to claim that others don't follow WP:BEFORE. So before I changed my vote, I would want to see what precise reliable sources any keep proponent claimed provided the
significant coverage to the subject the GNG requires, quoting publication dates and page numbers. (Just FYI, I am a cardholder at the
municipal library with the largest collection in the Western Hemisphere, and am happy to verify any claimed evidence myself.)
Keep and rename the page as The Addison Motor Company. Meets
WP:GNG now; I'm not familiar with organizational guidelines, so I can't weigh in. Regarding the sources mentioned above (and some other sources too): They are in Google books; I'm almost done adding them (hint to searchers: If you want to find a car in the first decade of the 1900s, search for "auto" and "motor", not just car, and other words used in the article, like "tri-car" and "Liverpool").

NOTNEWS. "Notable from yesterday after their i-league entry", again
WP:NOTNP and entry is from 2021-22 not now. There is no independent source describing the club, nowhere near to notability, a single story of future entry in I-league does not make notable. The

WP:NOTNEWS?
I think you failed to undersrand why FLP have been mentioned, clearly to show the club is not playing in any professional league in India and an amateur club formed recently expected hardly to have a notability. "media have already written regarding the club", show citations of major footballing websites and newspapers describing the club, independent of "the incidental" one line news of getting entry in I-League which is a
copy paste of AIFF press release (this is not notability). If non pro club exists please be sure they have notability and sigcov.

Keep - the nomination is fundamentally flawed, as it talks about
WP:FPL (fully-professional leagues) - which has nothing to do with whether articles exist for football clubs. The majority of articles in Wikipedia for football clubs are for teams that aren't in fully professional leagues - FPL exists to judge players, not teams. Normally articles are created when new teams are announced as joining a FPL league - as invariably there is significant coverage meeting GNG. Nothing unusual here, and we again see such GNG coverage.

Johannes had an important role at Fort Orange ( Later Albany, New York) and was instrumental in maintaining 'law and order' for the Fort and the surrounding area. I think there is enough references to those matters to warrant the keeping of this short biography.

Dutch West India Company who took on a number of bureaucratic roles in
Fort Orange. Apparently a nasty guy: "a man little liked, pettish, surly and malignant", who was later removed from his position due to "insanity"! (That's in Reynolds at 49). One caveat: I turned up at least two Johannes Dyckmans in my search, one of whom was a military officer. If any of these sources are about the other Dyckman (or Dyckmann), obviously my arguments have less weight. But I'm fairly confident that they're all about the grouchy administrator.

Leaning delete. I don't think
WP:NPOL is intended to cover every head of every state agency. The state of South Carolina has hundreds of executive branch agencies, and while the Department of Revenue is undoubtedly an important one, there is also a Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, a Department of Disabilities and Special Needs, a Department of Archives and History, a Department of Juvenile Justice, a Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, and so on, each having a department head on the same level in the state structure as the person atop the Department of Revenue. I am only leaning delete because this subject has apparently written a fair number of articles and some books (one error in the article, though, is that it lists a book titled The Law of Automobile Insurance, when the actual book is The Law of Automobile Insurance in South Carolina, a much narrower topic). If his writing garnered reviews or commentary, I think that would put him over the line, but his government office does not.

Comment - There is quite an extensive article about Supermemo, and another on spaced repetition. Can't parse whether it is promo or notable. I wikilinked Supermemo and put it in the Algorithms category, in case that helps anyone. I personally think it is probably too soon for what, as far as I can tell, is Supermemo3 (?) but I have no strong feelings about this either way. My goal was to get it off the uncategorized list and I thought I wwould comment while here. I did not try to wikilink the more common keywords, like UI and Ai and algorithm.

WP:RS coverage. While the concepts (
spaced repetition) and algorithms (
Supermemo) the app employs may be notable, this is not the only software to use either of these, and their use does not contribute to notability of this software.

No, it does not. Prior to RFD, in rural areas one had to go to the post office to get one's mail, so there were post offices spread pretty thickly over the land in any place that could accommodate them, including people's houses. They had to have a name because that's how the system worked before zip codes, but it didn't mean the place was anything like a town. Isoalted railroad stations, for example, were routine.

Yoninah do proposed building projects have an actual plan, and a proposed budget, released to the media? All I see is a president of Poland mentioning in a news conference that Poland would like such a base, and hoping to gain an edge on the possibility by saying they'd name it after the guy who has influence over the Congressional purse strings. And the whole idea seemed to have died when someone asked who would pay for it. If there is one thing we have learned in the last 4 years, it's that what is an "I think we should have ... " one day, becomes old news by the time a new thought passes through someone's head. That, and the fact that some people later deny they ever said such a thing, that something was misquoted, or that the media got it wrong as "Fake News". An American military base in any country is good for that country's economy. But this one appears to not have been much more than wishful thinking.

Delete The GNG creates the presumption that a topic is worth including, but it specifically states that other considerations from
WP:NOT may lead to exclusion even for topics that otherwise have sufficient sourcing. So while this is a topic that has certainly been covered in reliable, independent, secondary sources, it is still not appropriate for inclusion because it is essentially
a news report. The base does not exist; it's not even clear that the base will exist. All of the content is essentially unrelated to "Fort Trump", and only uses it as
a coat rack for general information on US-Polish military relations since 2020. What's salvageable can be merged to
Poland–United States relations, but this is essentially a POV fork that gives undue coverage to a recent event. —

Keep There are all sorts of proposals for international agreements that have yet to be finalized or are only in discussion phases that, due to coverage, pass
WP:GNG. Here are a few examples:
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership,
Multilateral Agreement on Investment,
Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty,
Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism,
Beilin–Abu Mazen agreement,
Convention of Chuenpi, etc. As per the article, this is not only (and potentially even less) a literal proposal for a fort, but the colloquial name used to refer to a proposed strategic repositioning of U.S. military forces to Poland and bilateral military framework between the U.S. and Poland. Finally, since the term "Fort Trump" is frequently invoked in media reports without further context, it's reasonable to assume our readers may search for it. With the GNG threshold crested there's, therefore, no policy-based reason for a redirect. The merge proposal is unworkable as the volume of preservable content in this article would easily overwhelm the current Poland-U.S. relations article and would be inconsistent with the commonly accepted guidance described by
WP:MERGEREASON.

Chetsford I think it is a given that as the article creator, you would want to keep this. But just because a term is bandied about in the news media, does not automatically qualify it to be an article in Wikipedia. This fort does not exist at this point.

a news report. Not only is this an article about something that does not exist, it's about something that never will exist.

Thanks, Maile. I appreciate your detailed response. In surrebuttal:
amount to a news report Per our
WP:NOTNEWS policy, Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. This is a subject that has received significant, verifiable coverage in RS spanning a period of three years and is, therefore, not covered by NOTNEWS.
This fort does not exist at this point. This is not a policy-based argument so I can't address it directly. However, we frequently cover proposed agreements, compacts, and treaties under discussion if they meet our
WP:GNG. See all examples I cited above. Also, based on your references to "this fort", I believe you may not understand the subject of the article. This is not an article about "a fort". This is an article about a bilateral defense framework that is colloquially referred to by the proposed name of a base that would be included in it.
Comment In response to a recent addition to the OP
[6] by the nom, I'd like to make a responsive note that I'm threading new here for ease of readability. Reuters news media quoted a US official as saying “There is no Fort Trump.” Three days after Reuters reported that it issued a new report
[7] quoting a different US official that there would be a "Fort Trump". In
Dark Matter we include reports of those who say it does not exist, and those who say it does. These are entirely appropriate subjects for discussion on the article's Talk page. They don't demonstrate how an article meets our deletion policy.

Chetsford one thing you and I have illustrated here, is that there is much confusing and conflicting source information on this subject matter. Bear in mind that there needs to be funding to get this off the ground.
WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL. After all the puffery and false information (about every subject imaginable) that has flown about in the last 4 years, I think Wikipedia would do well on this one to hold off. Later down the road, if Congress votes for funding to establish such a base - or funding is signed off on elsewhere - then it can be an article. Right now, it's just chatter in the wind.
I have concerns about a pattern we've seen repeated over the last 3+ years, or even 4 years back to the previous election, is that the individual involved here has himself been the source of much confusing information, often putting others (including foreign dignitaries) up to publicly dropping his name into the conversation in hopes of gaining favor or getting something they want that the public is not informed about. We don't know what conversation ensued between the two individuals before they walked out to that press conference. Right now, the fort is not a reality as of this date.

In general, I like the proposal you've made to adopt a higher threshold than the GNG for American Politics articles. If you propose this at the Village Pump I will most certainly support it. That said, the proposal you're making (which, as I read it, is that we should delete just to be careful due to a pattern of superfluous articles on related topics) is not currently supported by any existing policy and the middle of an AfD isn't the venue to adopt new policies. Deleting an article and erasing knowledge can only be done on WP in response to a fairly limited set of circumstances and we should delete an article becausethe individual involved here has himself been the source of much confusing information, often putting others (including foreign dignitaries) up to publicly dropping his name into the conversation in hopes of gaining favor or getting something they want that the public is not informed about is not one of those circumstances.

Keep. This proposed Fort has generated a lot of RS coverage and interest, and there is no requirement that a project actually be realised and built for it to satisfy GNG. I don't think a redirect to Poland US relations is an appropriate target for this either. It is not that significant in the context of that page, but also has other significance which isn't to do with bilateral relations between the two countries. I don't see a good reason why the coverage of this notable proposal should not reside exactly where it is. —

Keep and move to Soldiers' Committees to cover the entire area of 'committees' in the Russian Imperial Army beyond just the field army-level version. The committees were distinct organizations from the Petrograd Soviet and an important factor in the disintegration of the Russian Imperial Army during the Revolution. For example, Allan K. Wildman devotes an entire
chapter to them in The End of the Russian Imperial Army and there is much discussion in Reese, The Russian Imperial Army, 1796-1917. There are also articles mentioning them, for example, Werth,
Russia 1917: The Soldiers' Revolution. As can be seen from the Russian wikipedia article, there were also at least two books written about them by Soviet historians. The level of English-language academic treatment of these committees shows that they are independently notable.

Redirect - to
Steve Wright in the Afternoon. Is anyone actually looking at the sources? He works at BBC, so the BBC channel listings and page do not establish notability. I mean, nearly all of these are just channel listings and do not actually discuss Smith in depth.. the exception is his 'personal' page, but again, he's an employee - of course he's going to get a page. He gets the most passing possible mention in a radiotoday article ("other members of the posse including Tim Smith")... this does not establish notability. A listing in a chart in a book about radio (it literally lists his name on a schedule, it does not discuss him in any detail whatsoever).. then there are more listings of his podcast(s), including a listing of his podcast on Apple Podcasts. Riva Media is associated with him and the cite is promotional. The Bae Systems corporate blog post is promoting Bae systems (look, Tim Smith talked to someone at Bae). None of these are independent, in-depth sources. None of these sources establish notability. Should redirect to the show he is apparently associated with.

Keep DJs are hard to classify under the various entertainment and music SNGs, but I see adequate indicia of notability based upon multiple jobs on various programs and long-term. If sporadic coverage. this guy was significant in the pre-google days, so there’s the possibility of expansion from old print archives.

Draftify per
BD2412's initial close. As
El Cid notes in their excellent analysis of the sources, we don't have anything to show a pass of
WP:GNG here. (I did a
WP:BEFORE-style search and couldn't find anything either. Quick note: the BBC isn't a homogeneous entity, so it's possible that some BBC sources—a BBC News article, say—might be sufficiently editorially independent of BBC Radio to count towards GNG. But what we've got is stuff to do with Radio 2, which clearly isn't independent.) On the other hand, by the admittedly-subjective standard of "I've heard of this guy", it seems weird that sources don't exist, and, as
Montanabw notes, he has had a long and varied career that doesn't rule out sources existing somewhere, in print media, say. However, to quote BD's initial close, neither does policy permit the article to remain in mainspace with no secondary sources and no indication that such sources exist.
YorkshireLad ✿ (talk)10:58, 15 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Draftify as per the initial closing or Redirect. There is no in-depth coverage in independent RS in the article whatsoever. Of the 11 sources 5 are from the BBC his employer, 2 are links to his own podcast, 1 is his profile on his agent's page, 1 is a link to BAE for a podcast he made for them. So that's 9 out of 11 that are affiliated. Of the remaining 2, one is from an unsigned 6 sentence obit' that says this about him "Joyce Frost was a regular on the Big Show for many years, appearing alongside other members of the posse including Tim Smith..." and the last is a radio studies text book dating from 2013 that lists him on a figure describing the 1st hour of the Steve Wright Show. GNG is most definitely not shown to have been met. The keep !votes seem to say "keep because I can't believe that this guy is not notable even if the sources don't point to it". I could find nothing else in a search possibly due to his very common name. If had made an impact on the profession there should be coverage of him somewhere, I can't even find anything said about him by his colleagues. --

Excellent analysis. I left the UK in the early 90s when Wright was still on Radio 1 so have never heard of this guy. Maybe if I'd listened to him every day I would be convinced he should be notable but I haven't so I can only go by the sources which do not support notability.

This only tells you one (maybe two) editor's opinions and not why a particular source is or is not unsuitable. That you only mention Radio 1 (he's been on Radio 2 mostly daily for the past 20 years, as noted and cited in the article) suggests you need to read what the sources say and not worry about rules, regulations and quantity of text.
Ritchie333(talk)(cont)10:37, 23 August 2020 (UTC)reply
I always thought that when notability guidelines are not met then GNG applies and notability in an AFD has to be shown using sources and not what is written in the article. If we should be assuming notability from his career then maybe create a guideline for radio DJs. I know Wright is on radio 2 from the article but as I said I have never listened to his show so I have never heard of Tim Smith so I'm not influenced by my personal opinion and can only base my opinion on the sources as I try to do with all AFD. And BTW about half a dozen or so of my close relatives (father, mother, brother, uncle, cousins etc) work/ed in television and radio including the BBC other national radios and regional and national television and from personal experience I am not at all convinced by the argument that the different BBC sources are independent of each other.

Obviously it's an opinion, but I don't understand how I haven't explained why I don't think the sources are suitable for establishing notability—could you explain why you think they are suitable, or how you'd justify the statement that they're independent of the subject? (I think they'd be appropriate to include in an article for referencing if the article could be shown to be notable, I should say, but that doesn't up toa
WP:GNG pass.)

Greer was a registered nurse, and it took 13 years for her patent to be ...", which sounds promising.Even if we don't have a lot of info, the very fact, solidly sourced, that she patented a valuable refinement, rather than the whole thing, will be useful info for readers who follow her up from one of the over-enthusiastic pieces about her.

You are suggesting that we source articles to gee-whiz lists that are obviously wrong on many, perhaps most, of their contentions? (And, worst of all, from some perspectives, you are suggesting that we use sources that are obviously wiki-circular?)
Next, there is absolutely no evidence that she invented “a valuable refinement”. Her invention...or, rather, repurposing, is just one of many ways to make a single-handed enema syringe. It isn’t used now, and it may have never been.
Your third source is a high school science teacher, writing in a small local paper, or a blog associated with it, who appears to believe that insulin is normally delivered rectally. That doesn’t exactly reek of authority. Here’s an excerpt from one of the “sources” used: “It is said that once in 1882, Maria Beasely took a look out at the sea from her room’s window and said, “People should, like, stop dying in huge transportation disasters.” She was a famous scientist of her times, and is the woman behind the creation of Lift Raft, a machine that makes barrels. Due to this creation, she earned a lot of money and became a millionaire in shorter timeframe.“ Yeah, that’s scholarship.

Notability on Wikipedia requires multiple in depth sources to be met in order to meet the
WP:GNG, this usually translates to a minimum of three. Unfortunately she falls short of that. As much as I would like women's hockey to be covered more in the media, and believe me I do, it just isn't. A good example is the professional team in Boston (a hockey/sports crazy town) won the championship and the local paper didn't even have a single article on the local team winning the league championship. That pretty much sums up the state of professional women's hockey. The top level of women's hockey is still amateur where Olympic players still get fairly decent coverage relatively speaking. -

I’m ambivalent about the deletion of this particular bio but I think the discussion here and recent discussions on the
Women's ice hockey task force talk page demonstrate that there’s a schism regarding how women’s ice hockey is regulated on Wikipedia. It would be best for us to be address these differences in perspective before the situation deteriorates. First, the suggestion that there is no coverage of women’s ice hockey in North America appears to be several years out of date and is easily disproven with a quick google (the name of the team you were referencing may be the “Boston Pride” and the
Boston Globe wrote about the Pride and the 2020 NWHL playoffs, as did many other news agencies). Women’s ice hockey has turned a corner in North America, particularly since the NWHL began streaming on Twitch in 2019, and the league’s expansion to Toronto has only ramped up interest. At a certain point, removing articles about women’s ice hockey players for not being notable is a self-fulfilling prophecy; the information gleaned from Wikipedia bios is used by news organizations to determine who and what to write about. We can’t expect every journalist to be familiar with the subject and the dearth of information about women’s ice hockey on Wikipedia may be actively limiting the amount of journalistic coverage it recieves. Second, there appears to be a total disregard for women’s ice hockey occurring outside of North America, which has remarkably good coverage in several countries. Most notable is the coverage of the
SDHL in Sweden, which is quite good and articles regularly appear in the
Aftonbladet,
Dalarnas Tidningar publications, and the
Göteborgs-Posten, among others. The SDHL also holds the distinction of having the most internationally-varied rosters, with players joining from the top leagues around the world, including the NCAA, Naisten Liiga, ZhHL, DFEL, SWHL A, etc. The league’s coverage must be close to that of several of the leagues listed in the third tier of NHOCKEY (looking at you
Beneliga and
Belarusian Extraleague). As an aside, several of the top women’s leagues (NWHL, ZhHL, SDHL, etc.) are
semi-professional, not
amateur. Referring to these leagues as amateur is both semantically flawed and implies a lack of respect that I am sure was not intended. I hope that, through further discussion, we will be able to find common ground and better understanding. –

While I too would like to encourage writers to write more about women's hockey being that I am a hockey fan and more hockey is always good. Wikipedia actively says it is not here to give exposure to something/someone we feel should be getting it that isn't per
WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. Our job here is to record what media/sources are already reporting on. Not what they should be reporting on. And as a side note, I never said no coverage, I said there wasn't enough coverage. As for semi-professional vs amateur, not sure where anyone mentioned that. But I would note, in North America anyway semi-professional is generally considered more amateur than professional, its why we usually use the term "fully professional" on Wikipedia for some of the sports criteria. For example the
Canadian Hockey League gives a stipend to its players so to the NCAA it is considered semi-professional, but you would be hard pressed to find anyone outside of the administrators of the NCAA call it anything but amateur. -

I didn't say that Boston never covered women's hockey. I mentioned a specific event that they didn't cover. Winning the league championship. Not covering what would in any other sport be considered the most newsworthy event in a sport goes a long way to showing how under the radar and not notable to the media something is. I also mentioned Olympic coverage was good, so not sure what you are trying to show me by mentioning the Olympic coverage. It is specifically professional coverage that is lacking in regards to articles about specific players as opposed to leagues or routine game coverage. -

These are somewhat morbid examples of
genealogical entries. The subjects were the children of public figures who died in an accident aged 4 and 6, respectively. There is no significant coverage as required by
WP:BASIC and
WP:GNG nor can there realistically be any: they are known exclusively for the accident (
WP:BLP1E) and their relationship to adult figures (
WP:INVALIDBIO). The content of the articles is identical, and they are also very similar to the
recently deleted article about their likewise short-lived sister. All the information about their lives and deaths are already found in the articles about their parents, who died with them, and that should suffice.

Keep - As of
Prince Ludwig of Hesse and by Rhine his notability is mentioned in the article "He was the first great-great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria". Only one person can be this, and as it is it happens to be Prince Ludwig of Hesse and by Rhine. And for this nomination in general it's improper, since it suggests "The content of the articles is identical" which they are not. Therefore this is from the beginning a biased and improper nomination.

A non-notable firm, now part of
Turck. All the hits I found were in press releases or namedrops in trade journals. I don't think it makes sense to merge to Turck because there's nothing substantive to merge, and I don't think it makes sense to redirect to Turck because they're not similar enough that a redirect is warranted. So I suggest deleting instead.

Merge (and redirect) with
E.T. Mensah - I am inclined to simply deleting the article, but the previous voters came up with a good idea. Yebuah Mensah (this article) was an early player in the Ghana Highlife scene but all sources indicate that he was just one of many musicians in the scene. He made some news once by giving an interview about his brother,
E.T. Mensah, who is definitely a notable musician. Anything said by Yebuah while taking about his brother's influence can be used as support over there. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Keep: This is outrrageous, and an attempt to write important aspects of the history of the
Duchy of Brunswick and of the
German Empire out of the history. He was the firstborn son of the last crownprince of Hannover, and thus Hereditary Prince of HanoverandHereditary Prince for the Duchy of Brunswick. He died in a much talked about car-accident of it's time, wich is referenced in several books. Most important he was suggested as Duke of Brunswick in 1906, but this was turned down by the German Bundesrat on 28 February 1907. His death in 1912 had the unexpected consequence, that his only surviving brother Ernest Augustus was sent to Berlin to thank the Emperor for his condolence upon the death of George William. Ernest Augustus met the daughter of the Emperor, they fell in love, were married and he was eventually granted the Duchy of Brunswick. Since neither the the nominator Surtsicna nor any of the other four users (Johnpacklambert, Nika2020, Smeat75 & TimothyBlue) who have commented on the nomination so far have cared to comment or look into these aspects of the life and death of George William, Hereditary Prince of Hanover then their comments and arguments so far are erroneous and can not be given any truly weight in this nomination discussion.

I have looked at it and I find the idea that someone can be notable for providing a matchmaking opportunity by dying to be, quite frankly, ridiculous. That the subject of this article was ever considered a potential duke of Brunswick is new to me; the German Wikipedia's articles about him and his father do not mention it and I cannot find it on Google Books. It is very well possible that there is a "significant coverage" of the subject somewhere but I struggle to find it; the sources you provided are mere death and marriage announcements; see

This question had as far as I can tell substantial coverages in the medias of the time, besides it was mentioned occasionally or frequently in the years after that. So far the only newspapers I've consulted are the Danish ones but in the period September 1906 to March 1907 this question/matter was mentioned at least 30 times in Danish newspapers alone (and not all possible results are shown in the searches, so 30 is a minimum).

I also found stories about his pour health, and that he, very briefly, in late 1906 was offered the crown of Serbia. I've added something about this as well to the article.
Whether we choose to call his brothers way to the heart of his wife and the throne of Brunswick for ridiculous, funny, interesting, curious or something else that's one point, but the line of events was never the less as described.

The Brunswick succession story is one of the most important claims in the article (for the "matchmaking", we don't need a standalone biography). Interestingly, the
German Wikipedia claims that it was the youngest brother who was suggested as successor, not the subject here. The Danish sources given in the article don't really convince me otherwise. Weak delete unless this can be cleared up. —Kusma (

Comment.Bearian and the many other applicable contributors, while I appreciate the intent behind the numerous alerts and notifications requesting my participation in these deletion requests for royal biography articles, I would respectfully like to decline involvement in these discussions. In the case of this article and others like it, I created or expanded them primarily between 2005 and 2009—well over ten years ago. I’ve now been a contributor to Wikipedia for over 15 years, and I have learned and grown a lot as a writer and editor during this time, especially in my compliance with Wikipedia’s guidelines and standards. In my opinion, it is clear that this article does not meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, and I would not have published it today. With all that said, the continued alerts and notifications to these deletion discussions are like endless intercom announcements requesting my presence in the office of the principal or headmaster for an unnecessary reprimand. There is clearly consensus here, and in the other discussions, to delete or redirect the articles, so my participation is not helpful or useful. I would like to extend a thank you to
Surtsicna for not involving me in these discussions. I thank you all for taking the time to assess these articles for their notability, and for taking action to delete or redirect them as consensus warrants. Moving forward, I ask that you continue to assess the notability of each of these articles and their compliance with Wikipedia guidelines as they currently exist. —

The article looks like a mere genealogical entry, being mostly about to whom she is related (see
WP:NOTGENEALOGY policy). There is talk of a missionary and charity work but it is sourced to a single article that was apparently published by The Daily Mirror, therefore being tabloid journalism. Looking it up further online has not produced any noteworthy results, so I doubt there is significant coverage to establish notability per
WP:BASIC and
WP:GNG.

(Previously prodded and de-prodded) This was Microsoft's former method of certification of add-ins for
Microsoft Dynamics. The two links provided are now dead. The article itself is little more than a press release of what CFMD entailed. There are no external reliable sources of information about it.

@
Devokewater: Having an article about certifications is useful, I agree. However, this certification no longer exists. All information about it has been scrubbed from Microsoft websites and there was never any third party information about it to begin with. So it would be patently impossible to write an article about it that meets our
verifiability and
reliable sources rules. And whereas certifications like
Microsoft Certified Professional are a meaningful topic to discuss independent of any particular product, CFMD is really just a certification program for one product and there is really nothing encyclopedic to say about it other than maybe a one-liner in the article about that product. --

It generally fails to meet
WP:GNG as
WP:BASIC, failing to receive significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. In particular:
(1) The article currently shows her as "presidential candidate" in the 2016 and 2019 Spanish general elections (note that such figure of "presidential candidate" does not currently exist in Spain in the English-meaning of the term, since the country is a monarchy). While in those elections she ran as her party's candidate for national deputy, she failed to get elected (securing about 20-40 votes out of an electorate of over 100,000 in the constituency for which she sought election, or about 0.05% of the votes that were validly cast, a result that is not even close to be relevant or notable), thus failing to pass notability for this condition alone as per
WP:POLOUTCOMES: Candidates who are running or unsuccessfully ran for a national legislature or other national office are not viewed as having inherent notability and are often deleted or merged into lists of campaign hopefuls.
(2) The other event for which she is listed as notable is one in January 2020 where she was "arrested and accused of fraud and impersonation of a public official". Factually, a search of her name in Google mostly gives results for this specific, single event. As per
WP:BLP1E/
WP:BIO1E, We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met: 1. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event. 2. If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. [...] 3. If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented [...]. The event itself she is credited for is not even close to be significant enough to merit a stand-alone article, let alone justify an article for her.
It should also be noted that the article
was created in September 2016 (this is, almost 4 years before the single event she is mostly referred to in current sources) in what seemed a work of
promotion or even
self-promotion of this individual (considering that the original author is a
SPAwhose only contributions to Wikipedia have been to this article and the one of her party). Most of the sources added at first were gradually removed throughout the years either as primary or not significant ones, while the original content was deleted for the most part due to it being irrelevant and poorly referenced, leaving the article in its current state.
Impru20talk10:14, 13 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Delete the article is mainly inaccuate and makes claims that are just plain false, thus it is somewhere between a hoax and an article written by someone who did not at all understand the source material they were using. Either way nothing about her arrest adds up to actual notability nor do any other sources.

The result was no consensus. Despite the nominator's fairly extensive reasoning, there has not been a single other !vote to delete, and closing as such would be a
textbook supervote. The argument that we have many articles on state awards with official sourcing does hold water, yet we are currently in a gray area notability wise. There is no SNG directly relating to awards (though there should be-- even
the failed SNG only discusses it in the context of somebody winning it). It's not the place of an AFD closer to imagine a future SNG, and there does not seem to be a clear consensus regarding state awards (see
here where many !voters suggested awards must meet GNG and
here where many said the opposite). WIth no consensus to keep and keep !votes based on a presumption of notability that isn't necessarily agreed upon, we end up at no consensus. It's past time for an RFC on the topic.

Also many experienced editors offer to mentor individuals, you might post something at the
WP:TEAHOUSE about getting a mentor to help you with notability and reliable sources; I have several I go to with questions, so I know it helps from personal experience, I'm not suggesting anything I don't already do. Another idea is thinking about getting into
Wikipedia:New pages patrol/School (this isn't new page patrol, but the principles cross over). If you can backup your positions with policies, guidelines and sources, you'll be much more effective here and it will help build a consensus instead of everyone just going back and forth.

WP:OSE says ...countering the keep or delete arguments of other people, or dismissing them outright, by simply referring them to this essay by name, and nothing else, is not encouraged. ... While these comparisons are not a conclusive test, they may form part of a cogent argument; an entire comment should not be dismissed because it includes a comparative statement like this. ... In consideration of precedent and consistency, though, identifying articles of the same nature that have been established and continue to exist on Wikipedia may provide extremely important insight into the general concept of notability, levels of notability (what's notable: international, national, regional, state, provincial?), and whether or not a level and type of article should be on Wikipedia. I think this is a case where an OSE argument is in fact a valid argumetn agaisnt deletion.
DES(talk)
Reply: Hi
DESiegel, I read what you wrote and genuinely appreciate your attempt to mediate this dispute. I have a four honest questions.
"by simply referring them to this essay by name, and nothing else, is not encouraged" Do you believe I have referred them to
WP:OSEand nothing else? I've mentioned OSE in one response and I also mentioned WP:N, WP:WWIN, and WP:RS with it. The rest of my comments I believe I have gone into detail about the policies and guidelines related to notability.
"they may form part of a cogent argument"' If it may form part of a cogent argument, what is the rest of the argument? I can't identify anything other than, it exists and it's an award from the government, so it must be notable which is refuted by
WP:WWIN"information should not be included in this encyclopedia solely because it is true or useful."
Do you believe the above essay is sufficient reason to set aside the notability guidelines cited and ignore the lack of independent, secondary sources that address the topic directly and in-depth? (I strongly suspect you don't believe this).
If OSE is a valid argument, how should it be weighed against arguments based on WP:N?
I understand your point about OSE being taken into account, I can see it in cases where the subject is borderline notable, but not in cases where there are no independent, secondary sources that address the topic directly and in-depth to establish notability. Forgive my firmness on this, I'm honestly not being stubborn just to be difficult. I see AdDs being decided based on votes, feelings and opinions and not based on !votes and reasonable, logical, policy-based arguments. I strongly believe this needs to change. If people feel that there should be an SNG guideline for evaluating award notability, they should propose such a guideline; its easy to do and the community can evaluate the issue. If this passes as Keep, I may propose such a guideline based on the reasoning here as a basis to support or reevaluate these articles. Until then we need to discuss based on existing guidelines and policies. //
Timothy :: talk20:39, 13 August 2020 (UTC)reply
Reply: I'm honestly trying to help people understand how to establish notability, so they will know that the closer is going to be looking for. Here are is an explanation of why all of the sources in the article fail to establish notability, including the ones just added.
Point 1: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail"
Point 3: ""Sources"should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability"
Point 4: ""Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it"
Under
WP:PRIMARYCARE it states "Secondary sources are needed to establish notability for the purposes of deciding which articles to keep." and under
WP:PSTS it states "Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability".
Six References:
This is material copied from a government websites by a government contractor. It is not independent of the subject. It is not a secondary source; it is a copy from primary source.
"Collection of Legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan" - This is a government publication. It is not a secondary source; It is a primary source. It is not independent of the subject.
From the "Ministry Of Defense Of Azerbaijan" It is not a secondary source; it is a primary source. It is not independent of the subject.
This is two sentences long. It states a few basic facts from the law. It does not discuss the subject indepth.
As the heading declares, this is a copy of an Official Document from the government. It is not a secondary source and it is not independent of the subject.
This is a government document. It is not a secondary source and it is not independent of the subject.
Note that the GNG is a guideline (not a policy). At the head of the page, as for pretty much every guideline page, it says ... is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.TimothyBlue's comments above seem to treat the GNG as absolute and unchallangable. There are a number of categories of articles where secondary sources are not required to support an article. An article about a legally recognized popular place, as per
WP:GEOLAND may be acepted base purely oin primary sources that show its existence. An article about a member of a national legislature is acceptable even if we have no more than primary official sources that establish that the person existed and was a member, as is the case for many historical legislators, particularly those prior to 1900. Such articles are accepted merely on official records of membership in a legislature, and perhaps official records of speeches made or votes cast. Articles about radio stations are accepted based purely on primary sources showing that they have been licensed and operated. Articles about secondary and tertiary schools are often accepted based just on primary sources showing that they existed, and perhaps were official government schools. In short, not all categories of articles require independent secondary sources. I am suggesting that medals and awards officially presented by a nation should be a similar category, that primary sources showing offici8al authorization of such awards and showing that they have, in fact, been presented, should be sufficient. I am arguing that a wide group of Wikipedia articles have been created and remained in existence on that basis, and that few of these have been challenged, and that in at least one case linked earlier in this discussion, such a challenge was made and rejected. There have, if I am not mistaken, been recent discussions at DRV suggesting that an AfD discussion may in good faith make a reasoned exception to the GNG, and that such local consensus will not be overturned by DRV. I am suggesting that a new SNG should be created to cover this case.

The result was no consensus. The discussion cannot in any way be read as a consensus to delete the article. The reasoning is not necessarily the best – that is why I have gone to no consensus despite that a bare headcount would yield a keep – but the views are clear. AFD is not, however, the place to propose or create SNGs; that would be a matter for an appropriate part of
WP:VP.
I do not express a view on renaming; that can be discussed on the article talk page.

Comment: HorrorNews.net is usually seen as a RS as far as horror movies go (it's not as strong as if it were Bloody Disgusting, but generally OK), but the other links go to blog type sites. That's pretty much the only source I'm seeing so far though. The closest I'm coming other than that so far is a listing
here, but it's not in-depth enough to where I'd consider it anything but a trivial source. I'm leaning towards delete but I'll give it a little more searching before calling it.

WP:GNG says ""Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article".
WP:N says "Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice"". Is this movie genuinely worthy of notice? I think the actual reviews in the sites mentioned make it clear that this movie is not notable. Thanks for your input. //

Non notable organization that fails to satisfy
WP:ORG. A
before search shows the organization has no notability as they lack in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources. There seems to be notable persons involved in the organization so in the very least it could be redirected, although I suggest outright deletion.Celestina00712:56, 4 August 2020 (UTC)reply

Former(?) business in Alabama, known apparently only for one event (
WP:1E), i.e., being bombed by racists in the 1960s. I
tagged this for notability concerns in 2009, and it has not been improved since. The bombing episode is already adequately covered in
Anniston, Alabama#The Civil Rights era, and there doesn't seem to be anything else to say about this business. In fact, all of the content is not about the business at all, but about the civil rights conflicts of the time. Sandstein 08:57, 13 August 2020 (UTC)reply

The subject of this article doesn't seem notable. Since there is no sources about it in the article in the article and I was unable to find anything, let alone in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources, by doing a
WP:BEFORE. So, this fails
WP:GNG and the more specific notability guidelines for products.

Please assume good faith. Of the thousands of books and magazines about automobiles out there, do you really think someone would pick these 5 as a guess? Also, no one has to provide links to coverage, they just need citations.

Your worthless comment about me not assuming good faith isn't assuming good faith. There's a legitimate reason I asked. 100% someone would pick those specific magazines if they knew those car magazines were in print during the time this car was produced. Just naming a couple of magazines that might have mentioned the car without providing specifics doesn't prove anything about notability. Anymore then it would do the same things with any other subject. --

Each AfD contains search links -- see above. The nominator is expected to conduct such searches but some people are better at it than others. All the sources I cited have something to say about the various models of Addison; that's why I listed them. Of course, as they were published over 100 years ago in the pre-Internet era, we don't have easy access. But we don't need all the details right now as, per
WP:NOTCLEANUP, we're not here to work on the article. Our job is to assess the nomination and I find it wanting.

Wow, really there's way to search for sources? Who would have thought and this whole time I assumed they just magically appeared out of thin air or something. You must have missed where I said did a before and nothing come up. Nothing usable for this car and the sources you say contain information about it comes up in the search links. Thanks for the useless education on how to use the internet though.
Anyway, the reason I asked is because you said "such as." Which doesn't sound like a 100% statement of the car being covered in those magazines to me. Maybe we don't technically need the details right now, but "AfDs are a place for rational discussion of whether an article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies. If you just think magazines "such as" those covered the car in-depth "because car magazines", but don't specifically know that they did, then I would say that's not a rational policy based argument. Like
WP:AFDFORMAT says "a pattern of groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive." IMO asserting that something exists, but saying you don't need to provide the proof that it does because "pre-internet era brah" or whatever would qualify as "proof by assertion." Which isn't a good keep argument. Not to mention your telling me that I would have found the sources if I had of done a basic search for them, but then your saying they aren't easy to find because "pre-internet era." Which is completely nonsensical. --

I've seen worse nominations than this... I suspect part of the struggle people have had with seeing the Google Books sources is they "search the internet", especially using the link above, and don't take it further by searching "auto" rather than "car" or for the name of the company. I suspect that folks like me from the pre-internet era may think more widely in terms of concepts rather than search terms because we had to use a card catalog and indices to find the minimum number of sources for a paper on Shakespeare's clowns or endangered wildlife or we'd end up in summer school. But that's just my opinion. And it isn't a criticism. Maybe it's fodder for my first essay.

Not so hilarious that I've been accused of bad faith for calling out someone who suggests an editor who gives incomplete citations is being deceitful, but next time it'll be expected.

Delete: It is not, the case that editors can just claim -- absent of actual proof -- that sources exist. They must actually produce them to meet
WP:SIGCOV, and the burden of proof is on editors seeking to retain the article. For all we know, after all, those "sources" are mere advertisements and press releases, and I'd be more trusting if there weren't recent cases of chicanery from an editor very ready to claim that others don't follow WP:BEFORE. So before I changed my vote, I would want to see what precise reliable sources any keep proponent claimed provided the
significant coverage to the subject the GNG requires, quoting publication dates and page numbers. (Just FYI, I am a cardholder at the
municipal library with the largest collection in the Western Hemisphere, and am happy to verify any claimed evidence myself.)
Keep and rename the page as The Addison Motor Company. Meets
WP:GNG now; I'm not familiar with organizational guidelines, so I can't weigh in. Regarding the sources mentioned above (and some other sources too): They are in Google books; I'm almost done adding them (hint to searchers: If you want to find a car in the first decade of the 1900s, search for "auto" and "motor", not just car, and other words used in the article, like "tri-car" and "Liverpool").

WP:FPL is for football player articles. Otherwise there are many football club articles not playing in WP:FPL. ❯❯❯ S A H A05:43, 13 August 2020 (UTC)reply
First read carefully, FPL mentioned for showing there are only two pro leagues in India, and the club does not play in any."It will be in sports news from now on" is called
Crystalball and simply wikipedia is
NOTNEWS. "Notable from yesterday after their i-league entry", again
WP:NOTNP and entry is from 2021-22 not now. There is no independent source describing the club, nowhere near to notability, a single story of future entry in I-league does not make notable. The
Notability Criteria are very clear and bright, Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability. It can be created next year after getting entry or sigcov. Thank you.

in FPL, its mentioned "Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a competitive game"
many clubs have articles, but still not in FLP
no where its said, this article will be used as a newspaper. all clubs have their notable events, dates mentioned. how is this
WP:NOTNEWS?
I think you failed to undersrand why FLP have been mentioned, clearly to show the club is not playing in any professional league in India and an amateur club formed recently expected hardly to have a notability. "media have already written regarding the club", show citations of major footballing websites and newspapers describing the club, independent of "the incidental" one line news of getting entry in I-League which is a
copy paste of AIFF press release (this is not notability). If non pro club exists please be sure they have notability and sigcov.

Keep - the nomination is fundamentally flawed, as it talks about
WP:FPL (fully-professional leagues) - which has nothing to do with whether articles exist for football clubs. The majority of articles in Wikipedia for football clubs are for teams that aren't in fully professional leagues - FPL exists to judge players, not teams. Normally articles are created when new teams are announced as joining a FPL league - as invariably there is significant coverage meeting GNG. Nothing unusual here, and we again see such GNG coverage.

Johannes had an important role at Fort Orange ( Later Albany, New York) and was instrumental in maintaining 'law and order' for the Fort and the surrounding area. I think there is enough references to those matters to warrant the keeping of this short biography.
Cabot, John Stevens (1898).
Peter Stuyvesant. Dodd, Mead. p. 144. (quasi-trivial, but establishes his historical role in the
Peter Stuyvesant administration)
Official of the
Dutch West India Company who took on a number of bureaucratic roles in
Fort Orange. Apparently a nasty guy: "a man little liked, pettish, surly and malignant", who was later removed from his position due to "insanity"! (That's in Reynolds at 49). One caveat: I turned up at least two Johannes Dyckmans in my search, one of whom was a military officer. If any of these sources are about the other Dyckman (or Dyckmann), obviously my arguments have less weight. But I'm fairly confident that they're all about the grouchy administrator.

WP:NPOL as someone who has held state/province–wide office? My gut says no; my penchant for nitpicking says yes. But even if he does technically pass NPOL, I'm not seeing sufficient sustained coverage of his only claim to notability. There's
this (paywalled), for instance, and an article called "Small team to shape Sanford administration" in The Post and Courier (a couple sentences about him) but not a whole lot else. In most respects your standard tax lawyer.

Leaning delete. I don't think
WP:NPOL is intended to cover every head of every state agency. The state of South Carolina has hundreds of executive branch agencies, and while the Department of Revenue is undoubtedly an important one, there is also a Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, a Department of Disabilities and Special Needs, a Department of Archives and History, a Department of Juvenile Justice, a Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, and so on, each having a department head on the same level in the state structure as the person atop the Department of Revenue. I am only leaning delete because this subject has apparently written a fair number of articles and some books (one error in the article, though, is that it lists a book titled The Law of Automobile Insurance, when the actual book is The Law of Automobile Insurance in South Carolina, a much narrower topic). If his writing garnered reviews or commentary, I think that would put him over the line, but his government office does not.
