  • Delete. In addition to checking Google, newspapers.com and GBooks, I found nothing at all in ProQuest U.S. Newsstream, EBSCO Masterfile and a few other databases.

This was nominated once before over 10 years ago (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of best-charting U.S. music artists), and I believe the issues raised then are still a concern today. It was kept then because it was new, a work in progress, and a thought that it could be improved.

It's basically a list of acts with the most Hot 100 chart entries while indicating how each act did on various charts. To me, this is WP:OR, WP:IINFO, and a huge expansion of List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones, which already provides a smaller list of acts with the most Hot 100 entries. This list is incomplete, out of date, poorly sourced, unclear inclusion criteria (the Clash are listed with only 3 Hot 100 hits) and cherry picks what other charts are included.

How is something as vague as “best-charting” something you consider “focused”? With all of the music and charts in existence? And any of the notable ones already being documented in their own articles? Sergecross73 msg me 23:00, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply

NOT TABLOID. This would do as clear illustration of one of the places where Not tabloid particularly applies--sentimental material about someone totally unimportant otherwise. This is material for a social media site, not an encyclopedia . Most news outlets have always carried this sort of material as a matter of reader interest, but that does not mean that everything in a newspaper is encyclopedic .

Comment: I can't read Icelandic, but most of the sources look more like WP:ROUTINE than actual stuff about him. LionMans Account ( talk) 20:04, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Except this doesn't meet GNG. Most of the sources seem to be of individual games in low level basketball leagues. Probably the closest is whether his time at Georgetown (a well-known college program) would count or not. However, as mostly a reserve player for two years, probably not. LionMans Account ( talk) 02:38, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Of the 20+ sources in the article, I count four that mostly cover games. Of the others, there are multiple articles covering him specifically, including in the Washington Post and in the two largest newspapers in Iceland at the time, Morgunblaðið and Dagblaðið Vísir. Almost all of the league's he played in where the top-tier leagues of their respective country, including in Argentine where basketball is immensely popular. -- Alvaldi ( talk) 11:22, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Paid editor created submission from an editor that refused to use AfC as is the normal process per WP:COI. Article is mild to overtly promotional throughtout and the sources used are terrible. Generally I'm not a fan of invoking WP:TNT but honestly the amount of work needed to rework this version of the article far exceeds simply starting from scratch.

  • Delete for now. I had a go at tidying up the worst of the layout etc last week (see: Draft:Hem Raj BC (director)), but agree that it is a terrible article and excessively promotional. The trouble is, the subject is almost certainly notable, if everything in the article is true, but the sources are so poor that a firm conclusion is not possible.

  • One of the reasons why I don't like paid editors is their stubbornness. The article was deleted under G11, draftified for clean-up, the submission was declined, still no improvements and it's back to the mainspace to waste our time. The creator (SPA/ CNH) appears to have no interest in following the policies, he was just paid to create this page no matter how. I tried but can't find better sources and the notability of the films he has directed is also doubtful so, delete - salt if notable, someone else will write about it.

  • Strong delete and salt WP:TNT applies. That's why I went to the trouble of draftifying it once; there was already a duplicate in draftspace that made it necessary to add disambiguator to the title. Now that they've recreated it, that makes it two drafts and one article, all copies. The article can not be marked as reviewed without a lot of work, and I strongly oppose rewarding bad behaviour from paid editors by doing the work for them. What's to stop them from just turning it into a hagiography once the AFD is done, since they have shown already that they have no respect for our COI-related quality control procedures. It's more work than it's worth, and it would set a very bad precedent with regard to our very unhelpfully worded COI policies if we adopt this article. Salt it too, we can unsalt it once we have a draft that an independent editor chooses to accept. Usedtobecool ☎️ 07:58, 16 March 2020 (UTC) reply

  • leaning TNT From what I can see, route accounting is a proper subject, but it only has to do with software because it's the sort of tabulation that computers, after all, were designed to deal with. The article as we have it really doesn't deal with the problem that this software needs to solve, and is constructed largely of generalities about business software packages in general.

  • Comment: Boleyn, how did you determine that it doesn't meet WP:NALBUM? The #1 method of doing so is by appearing in "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and ... independent," and given that this is a 1993 album, most such sources are highly likely to not be online. -- Usernameunique ( talk) 09:13, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply
There is no evidence in the article that it meets WP:NALBUM; I could find no evidence that it is notable.

This article is pretty unwieldy and includes information that probably doesn't need to be aggregated. Many of the broadcasters and pundits who contribute to BBC Sport's coverage do so on a freelance basis, and their hiring and firing is rarely publicised, which leads to us having to use unorthodox and unreliable sources (there are three references to LinkedIn profiles, 28 references to tweets and quite a lot of links to internet forums). Some of the commentators listed don't even work for the BBC, they were simply the commentators on the feed the BBC was using (e.g. the Super Bowl announcers were from whatever broadcaster had the Super Bowl in the US that year, so Fox, CBS, NBC or whatever), and so could hardly be said to be part of the "BBC Sport team". Which brings me onto the article title: is the term "BBC Sport Team" really sufficiently formalised to warrant us using it as the title of this article. I think the fact that we have essentially come up with our own neologism for this fairly unconnected group of people tells all about the importance of this list article. – Pee Jay 21:54, 21 February 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Comment It's sort of a neologism. BBC sport do refer to themselves by saying "The BBC Sport team", the important part is the lowercase T, They mainly use it as a shorthand way of saying "Everyone here from BBC Sport...". List of BBC Sport commentators and presenters would be somewhere nearer a better tile. - X201 ( talk) 11:48, 24 February 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I accept that there are cases in here where you may not see them as the predominant team, particularly when a feed is used. The difficult arises in spotting this is the case, especially when I have seen many cases where the presentation team will say over to our commentary team and I believe they are the world feed team. We do also have to note that with the BBC Sport extra online broadcasts [1], these content are sometimes actually funded by BBC to broadcast and others they just use an already in place commentary team. However the basis is on those who make up the regular team. I accept that perhaps my edits have expanded who might be counted beyond where makes sense and would accept excluding world feed and making a consideration on the extra online content. I do however, particularly with the ability to see the changes in the main team, by the former section, as an important part to keep as a record and much of it has taken me ages to research. - Gloverhouse ( talk) 17:02, 24 February 2020 (UTC) reply

By the way, calling his a "losing down-ballot race" is a bit misleading, given that a) the Secretary of State of Arizona is the state's #2 elected official, right after the governor, and b) the race was close enough that Gaynor was initially declared the victor. -- Usernameunique ( talk) 08:44, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win — but the fact that some campaign coverage exists is not, in and of itself, a GNG-based exemption from having to pass NPOL. Every candidate in every race everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, so if the existence of some campaign coverage were all it took to exempt a candidate from NPOL on GNG grounds, then every candidate would always be exempted from NPOL on GNG grounds and NPOL would literally never apply to anybody at all anymore. So we have an established consensus that to qualify for an article, a non-winning candidate must either (a) demonstrate that he was already notable enough for other reasons, independently of the candidacy, that he would already have qualified for an article on those other grounds anyway (i.e. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) show such an unusual volume of nationalizing coverage that his candidacy can be credibly claimed as much more special than everybody else's candidacies (i.e. Christine O'Donnell). But neither of those conditions are being shown here, and the links above still aren't making a stronger case that either of them are applicable. Bearcat ( talk) 17:25, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Comment - The article only stated "unincorporated community" for a few days after creation in 2012 and was corrected to "unincorporated locale" after the previous AfD deletion which was rebuffed with the comment "rem. prod. being on a map is the notability req. for a place". Indeed there appear to be quite a few other "unincorporated locale"s on Wikipedia. Are newspapers.com hits a listed criterion for notability? The locale is on the USGS map at https://www.mytopo.com/locations/index.cfm?fid=377708 and also listed in their survey at https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=rsbiAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA3-PA40&lpg=RA3-PA40#v=onepage&q&f=false Harami2000 ( talk) 19:22, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Hi Harami2000, unfortunately a GNIS entry is not sufficient to prove notability. Take a look at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(geographic_features)#GNIS_database. One problem is that the GNIS definition for populated place is not sufficient for notability, see WP:GEOLAND. Another issue is that GNIS includes things like railroad crossings and non-notable ranches. (BTW - to search the GNIS database, see https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq . Once you have the GNIS number, you can use the GNIS template {{GNIS2|377708}} ends up looking like: [12], see Template:GNIS.) I think one thing that happened is that editors saw the GNIS as an unquestioning source of articles so many articles were created. Unfortunately, like getting married and then getting divorced, creating an article is much easier than deleting the article. Per WP:GEOLAND#2, Newspapers.com hits that are non-trivial coverage can be helpful to show notability. We had a discussion about whether having a Post Office was sufficient. It seems like a good WP:BEFORE methodology here is to look through newspapers.com and/or newspaperarchive.com (free accounts are available for Wikipedians). For US states, looking for a book about place names can also help. Through my library, I have access the EBSCO Masterlist, which has magazines including regional magazines that could have non-trivial coverage. Cxbrx ( talk) 20:49, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply
(EC) That PROD removal rationale is blatantly false: WP:NGEO says “This guideline specifically excludes maps and various tables from consideration when establishing topic notability, because these sources often establish little except the existence of the subject.“ Yes, the USGS topo maps used to be pretty comprehensive and mark every Joe Schmo’s ranch and water tank and whatnot but that doesn’t mean we need articles on them. A locale is quite broad (including ranches) and like anything else requires significant coverage per WP:GNG, which this lacks. Reywas92 Talk 20:54, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply
  • delete Searching on this one produces geo-clickbait results that are scanty even by foreign locale standards, much less US. The only book hits are two gazetteers.

  • Keep or merge to Monsters in Dungeons & Dragons per above comments since there are WP:RS to retain, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ ( talk) 03:06, 28 February 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Monsters in Dungeons & Dragons - I have argued elsewhere that the Arts & Arcana book is not an independent source for establishing notability for Dungeons and Dragons related topics as, despite it being published by Ten Speed Press rather than Wizards, it is an officially licensed and branded product, and Wizards lists it on the D&D site as an official product. While others may disagree, I have not been convinced otherwise. That leaves one potentially decent source in Of Dice and Men, and a bunch of short entries in fluff "Top Ten" lists that really do not denote notability (the one by Bricken specifically mentioned above is literally just a straight description of the creature in-game and nothing more). Further searches just bring up the usual array of primary sources, non-reliable sources, and game guides. I do agree that, as an originally created monster with some small amounts of coverage, it should be covered on the main topic of D&D monsters, and taking a look there shows that it is already mentioned there. Redirecting there would make sense, and the history would be preserved if any merging is deemed necessary. Rorshacma ( talk)
Comment And I will gladly point out (again) that Witwer et al sought the license from Wizards in order to be able to freely use any and all artwork, artists' sketches, etc. as they show the evolution of artwork in the world of Dungeons & Dragons from high school amateur swipes of comics to professional oil paintings. Independent publisher, copyright is owned by Witwer et al = independent source. I would also point out that the authors are somewhat less than flattering to TSR and Wizards in several instances, hardly the actions of an in-house author. Of course license holder Wizards is going to market it as an "official" product, who would look a gift horse like this in the mouth? Coverage of Rustie in Witwer et el shows the entire development and evolution from a strange Japanese plastic model owned by Gygax through to its present form. I'll have the page numbers posted in a couple of days. Guinness323 ( talk) 17:39, 28 February 2020 (UTC) reply
The motivation and reason as to why it became an officially licensed product is really irrelevant to whether or not it is an officially licensed product, which it is. And to me, official D&D product = not independent. Again, I acknowledged in my comment that there is disagreement on the matter until some sort of consensus among users is established regarding it, so you are free to argue otherwise here. I just disagree with your assessment. Rorshacma ( talk) 18:18, 28 February 2020 (UTC) reply
Comment: The two sources by Bricken are not overly long, and the do contain descriptions of the monster - though that is worded very differently than it would be in a gaming product. They also contain an evaluation that and why it is especially fearsome to characters and memorable to player's - not because of the game-internal logic of power. And why the rust monster is ranked special. So it is not "literally just a straight description of the creature in-game and nothing more". Daranios ( talk) 14:20, 29 February 2020 (UTC) reply
It describes what a Rust Monster looks like, its behavior, its attacks, and the fact that it destroys metal objects, including magical items. That is a description of the monster as it exists in-game. Unless you are saying that "Its super-dangerous" counts as an evaluation. Rorshacma ( talk) 16:11, 29 February 2020 (UTC) reply
"Its super-dangerous" is indeed already evalution, because the primary sources say that is exactly not very dangerous. Then: The rust monster is an original D&D invention; is among the 10 most memorable and 12 most obnoxious monsters (according to Bricken), "will never be forgotten, especially by the role-players that fought them"; it so fearsome to characters and players "Not because they're so powerful, mind you, but because they're really annoying."

Comment Page 66 of Witwer et al is a full-page breakdown of how the artwork for the rust monster, the owl bear and the bulette was developed from plastic dime-store monsters to humble sketches to professional illustrations, and how those humble origins helped Gary Gygax to develop three of the first truly original D&D monsters and their abilities. Not an in-universe reference, not a passing mention. Guinness323 ( talk) 04:28, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
No one is disputing that the coverage in Witwer et al is in-depth, what is disputed is whether it is an independent source. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 09:22, 18 March 2020 (UTC) reply
So there are arguments for and against it being an independent source. As long as there is no agreement if it is one or the other, affecting the status of the article with regard to notability: What would be the significant benefit for Wikipedia that would merit a deletion even in case of doubt? Daranios ( talk) 16:02, 18 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Keeping it because of dispute over the independence of the source would create the presumption that the source is independent, a presumption that would be counter to the rough consensus that has risen up around that source. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 20:47, 18 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Hmm, where and how has this "rough consensus" been established? As I am of the opposing opinion, I am naturally doubtful. As long as there is no clear consensus, I am still wondering, what benefit does a user of Wikipedia have from the deletion of this article? Daranios ( talk) 15:31, 19 March 2020 (UTC) reply
The “rough consensus” I was referring to is the fact that articles sourced primarily to the reference in question are not getting kept, so clearly there is rough consensus that it does not constitute a source that helps to pass GNG. The keeping of material that is considered to fail notability guidelines is harmful to Wikipedia, and by extension Wikipedia users. I feel this discussion has become irrelevant to the AfD that is being discussed. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 00:07, 21 March 2020 (UTC) reply

This article is a remnant of the chaos User:Ludvikus was strewing around The Protocols of the Elders of Zion for quite a while before he was banned. The content of this article relates to Ludvikus' obsession with using Wikipedia to further his research into the publishing history of the Protocols; pretty much nothing is known about the subject otherwise, and the whole thing can be a sentence in the Protocols article, if even that.

Not notable nor significant enough to merit its own article. Uses sources that can be found in each film's own individual articles. Article is too close to WP:FAN as it only focuses on a select few films, most of which haven't been identified as "kaiju" films by other sources or their own studios/filmmakers.

  • Keep it did have 25 entries but was reduced due to not being referenced, it seems a valid split from the genre article which would be too long with this included. These films seem to fit the genre description of large monster attacking a city, imv Atlantic306 ( talk) 01:47, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Comment: Kaiju films are Japanese by default, hence the term "Kaiju Eiga." Something like Pacific Rim or Cloverfield wouldn't technically be considered a "kaiju eiga" because they are Hollywood productions. The following sources, here, here, and here emphasize that the genre itself is an "archetype in 20th Century Japanese storytelling." Additionally, the article is too small to merit displaying small box office numbers for films that have not broken records. If it was similar to articles like List of accolades received by Parasite or List of accolades received by Joker (2019 film), then there wouldn't be any need to challenge the article but its current form doesn't justify its existence. There's no source cited for the inflation section. Where are those figures even coming from? It's impossible to calculate the inflation for the Japanese films since there is no official sources to uncover the price of tickets at the time of the Japanese films' releases. Armegon ( talk) 03:17, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. Data table requires collating a group of sources of selected films (of that genre) to make the list, and does not rely on a valid source confirming which are indeed the highest grossing ones. Ajf773 ( talk) 08:26, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply
    • Delete. Math on the inflation adjustment chart is completely off, because the number of ticket sales per film are not known (outside of Japan) and the chart uses U.S ticket prices to convert international grosses which skews the numbers. Not even Box Office Tracking websites like The-Numbers and Boxofficemojo do inflation adjustment with International grosses. Only domestic ones. So the numbers are completely inaccurate, unsourced (original research) and misleading. Giantdevilfish ( talk) 15:34, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Strong delete, all the references provided the keep voters are BS trival mentions to make it seem notable by citation bombing and false claims of notability by association. Seriously, website that is nothing but a stock listing isnt valid for notability. It doesnt matter if they are listed on a stock exchange how big of firm they are.The only thing that establishes notability is in-depth coverage in reliable sources. Which this company doesnt have. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 08:45, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
A firm of this size would almost always have in-depth coverage, a simple google search would show you as much which seems you weren't bothered to do before declaring it has no such coverage. For instance here's a company profile from Business Standard and here's a list of regular significant coverage from Reuters. Tayi Arajakate Talk 10:18, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Actually I did, but nothing came up. Thanks though. As far the business profile goes, that's rutine coverage that is just a glorified press release. The routers coverage is the same exact crap that's not notable as the other sources are. Its pretty laughable to call three articles about trivial topics sigficant regular coverage. Nice try though. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 11:40, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
I doubt you have even clicked on the links let alone do a google search. If you were to click on them, you would find there's more than three articles which you have mentioned. The primary subject of the articles are the company or its related activities and are more exhaustive than a simple press release. Tayi Arajakate Talk 12:28, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Good for you. I don't give two craps about your opinion though. I put plenty of time into researching things. That said, this is a volunteer effort. As such, we do as little or as much as we can and it's pretty rude of you to call out other users just because you think they didn't look into things enough. It seems like every time an AfD about an Indian company comes up someone with your kind of bad attitude goes off on the people doing the AfD. They always do the same citation bombing of utterly trash sources you did and then get a massive attitude when their sources are rejected for being trash. The whole thing is pretty tiresome. It's not our job to spend endless amounts of time digging through your garbage sources or looking through Google endlessly to find the perfect, none existent article just to satisfy un-appreciative people like you. It is on you to make sure the articles you recommend actually satisfy notability criteria though. If you don't know them, fine learn them then, but don't attack me because your sources don't qualify. Waste your own damn time digging through Google News. Your the one going off about how the company is notable. So either spend time proving it or move the hell on. Sometime things aren't notable. That's life. Don't badger users about it though, because your wasting our time with it. It's not going to keep the article from being deleted if it's not notable. I'm sure as hell not changing my vote because due to your attitude. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 13:48, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
I'm sorry but if you miss a basic observation that would be apparent from even glancing at the sources, you will be called out for it. As you say, it is volunteer work and if you find it tiring then you should probably not participate? I've'nt dragged you here or even pinged you to reply. But if you are going to participate then you should pay attention to the specific subject instead of working on presumptions and then going off on a rant. Tayi Arajakate Talk 15:02, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Except I said I did multiple times. Oterwise I wouldnt have known the coverage was trivial. You clearly either didnt read what I wrote or just dont care because it doesnt fot your narative. As I said already, the coverage in the actual damn articles, ALL OF WHICH I READ THROUGH, doesnt establish notability because they are GARBAGE SOURCES! Hopefully that's clear enough for you. Now piss the hell off and go harrase someone else. I'm not repeating myself again about it and I'm done dealing with your beniel, petulent attitude. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 15:52, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply

This was nominated once before over 10 years ago (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of best-charting U.S. music artists), and I believe the issues raised then are still a concern today. It was kept then because it was new, a work in progress, and a thought that it could be improved.

It's basically a list of acts with the most Hot 100 chart entries while indicating how each act did on various charts. To me, this is WP:OR, WP:IINFO, and a huge expansion of List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones, which already provides a smaller list of acts with the most Hot 100 entries. This list is incomplete, out of date, poorly sourced, unclear inclusion criteria (the Clash are listed with only 3 Hot 100 hits) and cherry picks what other charts are included.

Except this doesn't meet GNG. Most of the sources seem to be of individual games in low level basketball leagues.

Paid editor created submission from an editor that refused to use AfC as is the normal process per WP:COI. Article is mild to overtly promotional throughtout and the sources used are terrible. Generally I'm not a fan of invoking WP:TNT but honestly the amount of work needed to rework this version of the article far exceeds simply starting from scratch.

  • Strong delete and salt WP:TNT applies. That's why I went to the trouble of draftifying it once; there was already a duplicate in draftspace that made it necessary to add disambiguator to the title. Now that they've recreated it, that makes it two drafts and one article, all copies. The article can not be marked as reviewed without a lot of work, and I strongly oppose rewarding bad behaviour from paid editors by doing the work for them. What's to stop them from just turning it into a hagiography once the AFD is done, since they have shown already that they have no respect for our COI-related quality control procedures. It's more work than it's worth, and it would set a very bad precedent with regard to our very unhelpfully worded COI policies if we adopt this article. Salt it too, we can unsalt it once we have a draft that an independent editor chooses to accept. Usedtobecool ☎️ 07:58, 16 March 2020 (UTC) reply

This article is pretty unwieldy and includes information that probably doesn't need to be aggregated. Many of the broadcasters and pundits who contribute to BBC Sport's coverage do so on a freelance basis, and their hiring and firing is rarely publicised, which leads to us having to use unorthodox and unreliable sources (there are three references to LinkedIn profiles, 28 references to tweets and quite a lot of links to internet forums). Some of the commentators listed don't even work for the BBC, they were simply the commentators on the feed the BBC was using (e.g. the Super Bowl announcers were from whatever broadcaster had the Super Bowl in the US that year, so Fox, CBS, NBC or whatever), and so could hardly be said to be part of the "BBC Sport team". Which brings me onto the article title: is the term "BBC Sport Team" really sufficiently formalised to warrant us using it as the title of this article. I think the fact that we have essentially come up with our own neologism for this fairly unconnected group of people tells all about the importance of this list article. – Pee Jay 21:54, 21 February 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Comment It's sort of a neologism. BBC sport do refer to themselves by saying "The BBC Sport team", the important part is the lowercase T, They mainly use it as a shorthand way of saying "Everyone here from BBC Sport...". List of BBC Sport commentators and presenters would be somewhere nearer a better tile. - X201 ( talk) 11:48, 24 February 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I accept that there are cases in here where you may not see them as the predominant team, particularly when a feed is used. The difficult arises in spotting this is the case, especially when I have seen many cases where the presentation team will say over to our commentary team and I believe they are the world feed team. We do also have to note that with the BBC Sport extra online broadcasts [1], these content are sometimes actually funded by BBC to broadcast and others they just use an already in place commentary team. However the basis is on those who make up the regular team. I accept that perhaps my edits have expanded who might be counted beyond where makes sense and would accept excluding world feed and making a consideration on the extra online content. I do however, particularly with the ability to see the changes in the main team, by the former section, as an important part to keep as a record and much of it has taken me ages to research. - Gloverhouse ( talk) 17:02, 24 February 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: There is extensive coverage of the guy, meaning that even if he doesn't meet WP:NPOL by virtue of holding office, he probably meets it through significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. A brief search turned up these among others:
Piecing Together Steve Gaynor

Jewish candidate could make state history
By the way, calling his a "losing down-ballot race" is a bit misleading, given that a) the Secretary of State of Arizona is the state's #2 elected official, right after the governor, and b) the race was close enough that Gaynor was initially declared the victor. -- Usernameunique ( talk) 08:44, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win — but the fact that some campaign coverage exists is not, in and of itself, a GNG-based exemption from having to pass NPOL. Every candidate in every race everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, so if the existence of some campaign coverage were all it took to exempt a candidate from NPOL on GNG grounds, then every candidate would always be exempted from NPOL on GNG grounds and NPOL would literally never apply to anybody at all anymore. So we have an established consensus that to qualify for an article, a non-winning candidate must either (a) demonstrate that he was already notable enough for other reasons, independently of the candidacy, that he would already have qualified for an article on those other grounds anyway (i.e. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) show such an unusual volume of nationalizing coverage that his candidacy can be credibly claimed as much more special than everybody else's candidacies (i.e. Christine O'Donnell). But neither of those conditions are being shown here, and the links above still aren't making a stronger case that either of them are applicable. Bearcat ( talk) 17:25, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply

If he had won the race and been shot the next day or died of COVID-19 before taking office, I would still argue he is not notable.

WP:NOTNEWS, a brief Minecraft related gimmick isn't notable. Many organizations have done this type of thing, such as the Danish government with their recreation of Denmark in Minecraft.

Comment - The article only stated "unincorporated community" for a few days after creation in 2012 and was corrected to "unincorporated locale" after the previous AfD deletion which was rebuffed with the comment "rem. prod. being on a map is the notability req. for a place". Indeed there appear to be quite a few other "unincorporated locale"s on Wikipedia. Are newspapers.com hits a listed criterion for notability? The locale is on the USGS map at https://www.mytopo.com/locations/index.cfm?fid=377708 and also listed in their survey at https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=rsbiAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA3-PA40&lpg=RA3-PA40#v=onepage&q&f=false Harami2000 ( talk) 19:22, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Hi Harami2000, unfortunately a GNIS entry is not sufficient to prove notability. Take a look at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(geographic_features)#GNIS_database. One problem is that the GNIS definition for populated place is not sufficient for notability, see WP:GEOLAND. Another issue is that GNIS includes things like railroad crossings and non-notable ranches. (BTW - to search the GNIS database, see https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq . Once you have the GNIS number, you can use the GNIS template {{GNIS2|377708}} ends up looking like: [12], see Template:GNIS.) I think one thing that happened is that editors saw the GNIS as an unquestioning source of articles so many articles were created. Unfortunately, like getting married and then getting divorced, creating an article is much easier than deleting the article. Per WP:GEOLAND#2, Newspapers.com hits that are non-trivial coverage can be helpful to show notability. We had a discussion about whether having a Post Office was sufficient. It seems like a good WP:BEFORE methodology here is to look through newspapers.com and/or newspaperarchive.com (free accounts are available for Wikipedians). For US states, looking for a book about place names can also help. Through my library, I have access the EBSCO Masterlist, which has magazines including regional magazines that could have non-trivial coverage. Cxbrx ( talk) 20:49, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply
(EC) That PROD removal rationale is blatantly false: WP:NGEO says “This guideline specifically excludes maps and various tables from consideration when establishing topic notability, because these sources often establish little except the existence of the subject.“ Yes, the USGS topo maps used to be pretty comprehensive and mark every Joe Schmo’s ranch and water tank and whatnot but that doesn’t mean we need articles on them. A locale is quite broad (including ranches) and like anything else requires significant coverage per WP:GNG, which this lacks. Reywas92 Talk 20:54, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply
  • delete Searching on this one produces geo-clickbait results that are scanty even by foreign locale standards, much less US. The only book hits are two gazetteers.

  • Keep or merge to Monsters in Dungeons & Dragons per above comments since there are WP:RS to retain, per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ ( talk) 03:06, 28 February 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Monsters in Dungeons & Dragons - I have argued elsewhere that the Arts & Arcana book is not an independent source for establishing notability for Dungeons and Dragons related topics as, despite it being published by Ten Speed Press rather than Wizards, it is an officially licensed and branded product, and Wizards lists it on the D&D site as an official product. While others may disagree, I have not been convinced otherwise. That leaves one potentially decent source in Of Dice and Men, and a bunch of short entries in fluff "Top Ten" lists that really do not denote notability (the one by Bricken specifically mentioned above is literally just a straight description of the creature in-game and nothing more). Further searches just bring up the usual array of primary sources, non-reliable sources, and game guides. I do agree that, as an originally created monster with some small amounts of coverage, it should be covered on the main topic of D&D monsters, and taking a look there shows that it is already mentioned there. Redirecting there would make sense, and the history would be preserved if any merging is deemed necessary. Rorshacma ( talk)
Comment And I will gladly point out (again) that Witwer et al sought the license from Wizards in order to be able to freely use any and all artwork, artists' sketches, etc. as they show the evolution of artwork in the world of Dungeons & Dragons from high school amateur swipes of comics to professional oil paintings. Independent publisher, copyright is owned by Witwer et al = independent source. I would also point out that the authors are somewhat less than flattering to TSR and Wizards in several instances, hardly the actions of an in-house author. Of course license holder Wizards is going to market it as an "official" product, who would look a gift horse like this in the mouth? Coverage of Rustie in Witwer et el shows the entire development and evolution from a strange Japanese plastic model owned by Gygax through to its present form. I'll have the page numbers posted in a couple of days. Guinness323 ( talk) 17:39, 28 February 2020 (UTC) reply
The motivation and reason as to why it became an officially licensed product is really irrelevant to whether or not it is an officially licensed product, which it is. And to me, official D&D product = not independent. Again, I acknowledged in my comment that there is disagreement on the matter until some sort of consensus among users is established regarding it, so you are free to argue otherwise here. I just disagree with your assessment. Rorshacma ( talk) 18:18, 28 February 2020 (UTC) reply
Comment: The two sources by Bricken are not overly long, and the do contain descriptions of the monster - though that is worded very differently than it would be in a gaming product. They also contain an evaluation that and why it is especially fearsome to characters and memorable to player's - not because of the game-internal logic of power. And why the rust monster is ranked special. So it is not "literally just a straight description of the creature in-game and nothing more". Daranios ( talk) 14:20, 29 February 2020 (UTC) reply
It describes what a Rust Monster looks like, its behavior, its attacks, and the fact that it destroys metal objects, including magical items. That is a description of the monster as it exists in-game. Unless you are saying that "Its super-dangerous" counts as an evaluation. Rorshacma ( talk) 16:11, 29 February 2020 (UTC) reply
"Its super-dangerous" is indeed already evalution, because the primary sources say that is exactly not very dangerous. Then: The rust monster is an original D&D invention; is among the 10 most memorable and 12 most obnoxious monsters (according to Bricken), "will never be forgotten, especially by the role-players that fought them"; it so fearsome to characters and players "Not because they're so powerful, mind you, but because they're really annoying." None of that is in-game. Daranios ( talk) 21:43, 29 February 2020 (UTC) reply
That's not quite factual. Some of the secondary sources present in the article are " listicles", some are not. Daranios ( talk) 15:57, 3 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Comment Page 66 of Witwer et al is a full-page breakdown of how the artwork for the rust monster, the owl bear and the bulette was developed from plastic dime-store monsters to humble sketches to professional illustrations, and how those humble origins helped Gary Gygax to develop three of the first truly original D&D monsters and their abilities. Not an in-universe reference, not a passing mention. Guinness323 ( talk) 04:28, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
No one is disputing that the coverage in Witwer et al is in-depth, what is disputed is whether it is an independent source. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 09:22, 18 March 2020 (UTC) reply
So there are arguments for and against it being an independent source. As long as there is no agreement if it is one or the other, affecting the status of the article with regard to notability: What would be the significant benefit for Wikipedia that would merit a deletion even in case of doubt? Daranios ( talk) 16:02, 18 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Keeping it because of dispute over the independence of the source would create the presumption that the source is independent, a presumption that would be counter to the rough consensus that has risen up around that source. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 20:47, 18 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Hmm, where and how has this "rough consensus" been established? As I am of the opposing opinion, I am naturally doubtful. As long as there is no clear consensus, I am still wondering, what benefit does a user of Wikipedia have from the deletion of this article? Daranios ( talk) 15:31, 19 March 2020 (UTC) reply
The “rough consensus” I was referring to is the fact that articles sourced primarily to the reference in question are not getting kept, so clearly there is rough consensus that it does not constitute a source that helps to pass GNG. The keeping of material that is considered to fail notability guidelines is harmful to Wikipedia, and by extension Wikipedia users. I feel this discussion has become irrelevant to the AfD that is being discussed. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 00:07, 21 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Comment: Kaiju films are Japanese by default, hence the term "Kaiju Eiga." Something like Pacific Rim or Cloverfield wouldn't technically be considered a "kaiju eiga" because they are Hollywood productions. The following sources, here, here, and here emphasize that the genre itself is an "archetype in 20th Century Japanese storytelling." Additionally, the article is too small to merit displaying small box office numbers for films that have not broken records. If it was similar to articles like List of accolades received by Parasite or List of accolades received by Joker (2019 film), then there wouldn't be any need to challenge the article but its current form doesn't justify its existence. There's no source cited for the inflation section. Where are those figures even coming from? It's impossible to calculate the inflation for the Japanese films since there is no official sources to uncover the price of tickets at the time of the Japanese films' releases. Armegon ( talk) 03:17, 14 March 2020 (UTC) reply

    • Delete. Math on the inflation adjustment chart is completely off, because the number of ticket sales per film are not known (outside of Japan) and the chart uses U.S ticket prices to convert international grosses which skews the numbers.

  • Strong delete, all the references provided the keep voters are BS trival mentions to make it seem notable by citation bombing and false claims of notability by association. Seriously, website that is nothing but a stock listing isnt valid for notability. It doesnt matter if they are listed on a stock exchange how big of firm they are.The only thing that establishes notability is in-depth coverage in reliable sources. Which this company doesnt have. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 08:45, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
A firm of this size would almost always have in-depth coverage, a simple google search would show you as much which seems you weren't bothered to do before declaring it has no such coverage. For instance here's a company profile from Business Standard and here's a list of regular significant coverage from Reuters. Tayi Arajakate Talk 10:18, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Actually I did, but nothing came up. Thanks though. As far the business profile goes, that's rutine coverage that is just a glorified press release. The routers coverage is the same exact crap that's not notable as the other sources are. Its pretty laughable to call three articles about trivial topics sigficant regular coverage. Nice try though. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 11:40, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
I doubt you have even clicked on the links let alone do a google search. If you were to click on them, you would find there's more than three articles which you have mentioned. The primary subject of the articles are the company or its related activities and are more exhaustive than a simple press release. Tayi Arajakate Talk 12:28, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Good for you. I don't give two craps about your opinion though. I put plenty of time into researching things. That said, this is a volunteer effort. As such, we do as little or as much as we can and it's pretty rude of you to call out other users just because you think they didn't look into things enough. It seems like every time an AfD about an Indian company comes up someone with your kind of bad attitude goes off on the people doing the AfD. They always do the same citation bombing of utterly trash sources you did and then get a massive attitude when their sources are rejected for being trash. The whole thing is pretty tiresome. It's not our job to spend endless amounts of time digging through your garbage sources or looking through Google endlessly to find the perfect, none existent article just to satisfy un-appreciative people like you. It is on you to make sure the articles you recommend actually satisfy notability criteria though. If you don't know them, fine learn them then, but don't attack me because your sources don't qualify. Waste your own damn time digging through Google News. Your the one going off about how the company is notable. So either spend time proving it or move the hell on. Sometime things aren't notable. That's life. Don't badger users about it though, because your wasting our time with it. It's not going to keep the article from being deleted if it's not notable. I'm sure as hell not changing my vote because due to your attitude. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 13:48, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
I'm sorry but if you miss a basic observation that would be apparent from even glancing at the sources, you will be called out for it. As you say, it is volunteer work and if you find it tiring then you should probably not participate? I've'nt dragged you here or even pinged you to reply. But if you are going to participate then you should pay attention to the specific subject instead of working on presumptions and then going off on a rant.

Except I said I did multiple times. Oterwise I wouldnt have known the coverage was trivial. You clearly either didnt read what I wrote or just dont care because it doesnt fot your narative. As I said already, the coverage in the actual damn articles, ALL OF WHICH I READ THROUGH, doesnt establish notability because they are GARBAGE SOURCES! Hopefully that's clear enough for you. Now piss the hell off and go harrase someone else. I'm not repeating myself again about it and I'm done dealing with your beniel, petulent attitude. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 15:52, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
I would highly recommend not participating if you're going to get this angry over nothing. It does not seem like it is my attitude which is the problem here. Tayi Arajakate Talk 23:16, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
