  • Weak keep. Granted, no single source meets the "significant coverage" criterion of the WP:GNG, but taken together they do provide coverage sufficient for a Start to C class article and do indicate accomplishments which would normally be roughly enough to consider the subject notable in her field. GregorB ( talk) 18:36, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    @ GregorB thank you for being against @ Onel5969's formalistic and deletionist approach and more for holistic understanding of a regulation. I am somewhat confused by no "significant coverage"... I hope you do not expect a single interview of all of life-achivements from mid-career practicing professional. -- Zblace ( talk) 05:33, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Significant work has been done to this article since it was first put up for deletion. Several publications with links to the original source have been added which demonstrate in-depth coverage as first requested by onel5969. The practitioner has presented in the context of the Venice Biennale which is arguable one of the most well-known art platforms worldwide and therefore should fall under the notability guidelines. -- Rosa(SiC) ( talk) 09:57, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • If the only notable thing about this album is that it charted, then couldn't that information be easily contained in the Voices (American band) article? I just do not think charting alone is a strong enough reason to have a separate album article if the album did not receive significant coverage. Aoba47 ( talk) 18:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • WP:NALBUM says that a recording may be notable if one of the criteria met. Charting is one entry on the criteria, but as I have said in my rationale, I do not think that is a strong enough reason to support an independent album article when this charting information can be represented on the group's main article. If you read WP:NALBUM, it says the following: "All articles on albums, singles or other recordings should meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." (and I have added the italics for emphasis). I do not see significant coverage on this album. Aoba47 ( talk) 23:52, 25 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per Aoba47 comments. MarioSoulTruthFan ( talk) 10:39, 27 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Voices (American band)- fails WP:NALBUMS and WP:GNG. Excepting the AllMusic review, the recording lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources. Charting alone is not sufficient to demonstrate notability of the album, and given that it has not received any certifications or major accolades, a standalone article is not appropriate. -- Ashley yoursmile! 05:32, 28 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. The strongest notability claim here is a completely unsourced claim that a song went to #1 in "the correspondant radio charts", failing to clarify what "the correspondant radio charts" is or whether it's IFPI-certified. We're looking for Billboard, not just any random chart whose existence you assert but fail to verify. Nothing else stated here passes any NMUSIC criterion at all, and the sole footnote is a Q&A interview in which she's talking about herself in the first person on a non-notable and unreliable blog, which is not a notability-supporting source. We are not a free public relations platform on which emerging musicians are entitled to have articles for the publicity — making it comes first and then the Wikipedia article follows, not vice versa. Bearcat ( talk) 16:27, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Bearcat, the claim of her reaching number one on the radio charts can be verified from this. Nonetheless, all sources that I could find are either interviews with subject that does not include any commentary from the interviewer which makes it neither secondary nor independent, or are questionable with little evidence of editorial oversight: 1 and 2 (except I guess this). I don't think these can be used to demonstrate notability. -- Ashley yoursmile! 04:40, 7 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • I am certain regional charts don't count as far as notability is concerned. The article linked explicitly says "#1 spot on Quebec radio stations" (emphasis added). Also see WP:CHARTS, which emphasises nat'l charts overall. — A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 06:26, 7 May 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Jéské Couriano, as someone who works with music articles rigorously I'm well aware of what WP:CHARTS states. I just mentioned that the claim of the subject topping the radio chart as mentioned in the article is verifiable. Ashley yoursmile! 08:59, 7 May 2021 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus. No further discussion following the relist and no clear consensus for any outcome after the initial first week. Probably worth notingvthe keep votes don't really look to address the presumption of GNG that NFOOTY asserts but minimal discussion and nothing in the last week suggests we are unlikely to obtain clear consensus.

Although his career is still ongoing, he is now at the Belgian third (non-pro) tier and has also played on an even lower Belgian level.

Wikipedia is not a gazetteer of political parties. Recent discussions and consequent deletions for Independent Green Voice, Scottish Family Party which are active parties that are running candidates show there are recent precedents for the wider Wikipedia community agreeing that not all political parties are notable, and notability does not attach itself to political parties as a right. This article has sources, but no evidence of WP:GNG and WP:ORG and general achievement. This former political party has no evidence of achievement or notability prior to, or following, elections in its 2 years of existence 16 years ago, which is also similar to the recently deleted Publican Party article.

  • Keep. Being the main subject of seven articles [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] in reliable sources is SIGCOV, even if the party is defunct. Also, I love this article!

    • Comment As a matter of interest, I noticed you were in favour of deleting the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Publican Party (3rd nomination) article, which was similar in the number of sources, yet with this article you want to keep it, which appears to have had less coverage than the Publican Party article which was deleted. What is the difference you see between the two articles leading you to two different conclusions regarding retaining and deleting of each article? Angryskies ( talk) 13:15, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • As I recall, the level of coverage was actually very different. For the Publican Party, the coverage was very slim, mentioning the party only in passing, except (IIRC) for one article. Here, on the contrary, we have multiple articles covering the party in depth, as their primary subject. JBchrch ( talk) 21:16, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, passes WP:GNG. We really need to have a centralised discussion about the notability of political parties, and maybe think about creating a standalone guideline to reduce ambiguities in deletion discussions. How much coverage is significant coverage? How much weight do we give to electoral success (or lack of it)? I think creating a rule of thumb to use in these sorts of discussions would be preferable to the current situation, where standards are applied differently from week to week and arguments often consist of "that article was deleted/kept, so this one must be too". PinkPanda272 ( talk/ contribs) 14:47, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I agree with the nominator that, as Wikipedia is not a gazetteer of political parties, this article does not make the grade of notability and should be deleted. doktorb words deeds 17:32, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment to PinkPanda272 - many years ago (decade or so!) I drafted my own potential soft policy for political parties. I think I'll revisit it over this Bank Holiday weekend and invite comment. As you know, you and I work well on many articles but we seem to diverge on the matter of political party notability and I'd like to see how we "gel" on forming a policy together. As Emeraude knows, they and I completely disagree on this subject, with me almost always voting "delete", and they almost always voting "keep". It would be good to Emeraude and I to also find some kind of workable compromise. We cannot, as Wikipedia generally or UK political project editors more generally, allow each and every entry on the Electoral Commission Register to have articles here. It's simply not feasible and the wider community tend to agree. So at some point I'll draft something based on my original idea and we'll get shifting. doktorb words deeds 17:32, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Thank you for your comment, Doktorbuk, I look forward to reading your proposal. I think we both have a roughly similar idea of where that threshold should be, and I'm sure that with the assistance of other editors we will be able to come up with an acceptable solution. Regards, PinkPanda272 ( talk/ contribs) 21:33, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Note that per WP:N (my emphasis added) "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: (1) It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG) listed in the box on the right; and (2) It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy." As this article clearly meets WP:SIGCOV any putative guidelines for political paries would not affect the underlying established notability of this party. Jonathan A Jones ( talk) 08:47, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply
Indeed, Jonathan A Jones, when a party obviously passes the WP:GNG like this one, then it wouldn't be affected by any further guidelines (which I envisage to only be used in situations that aren't as clear-cut). PinkPanda272 ( talk/ contribs) 13:20, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - Perhaps you could clarify exactly what is reading like an advertisement? Then we can just clean it up. It seems to be written pretty neutrally when I read it. When I see WP:PAID, I also usually think paid contributors as well, so is there a particular COI you think needs disclosing? If it's that, that wouldnt be grounds for deletion, draftification at worst, but again, as an AfC reviewer, we're usually only checking for a neutral presentation of the facts, and this seems fairly neutral to me. I'm not seeing any overly flowery language like, "This great podcast will engross you as it teaches you about such and such..." Maybe ditch the paragraph that talks about "over 300 episodes"?

    If the concern is over the use of primary sources, these seem to be used in a way to simply states facts about the show or book, which would be valid under WP:PRIMARY #3. Those aren't needed to establish notability, since it has been covered in the other references and the {{ refideas}} listed on the Talk page. The article could surely be improved, but that is not grounds for deletion, as summed up nicely in WP:AFD is not cleanup (not citing a guideline, just a POV, nobody WP:BITE, plz). - 2pou ( talk) 02:03, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

    The topic is not notable. It lacks WP:RS and instead has advertising links to external websites. Desertarun ( talk) 07:07, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    Notability is a totally different argument that was not raised in the nomination.
    Regardless, as I said there are reliable sources covering the subject listed on the talk page, and thus WP:GNG is met given the coverage, and they are about the podcast itself. The sources WP:NEXIST and do not need to be actually cited in the article. Citing them in the article, and establishing a "Reception" section for example, would clearly improve the article, but that can be done over time in a WP:WIP project with WP:NORUSH.

I've searched through looking for clear WP:GNG coverage, this is the best source: [7] There was also a national television report directly on him (I know Youtube's not a source, but the channel is legitimate): [8] Other sources which aren't as good (match reports or U-20 coverage, for instance) include: [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]. There's lots of mentions like [14]. On the whole - national coverage, plays for one of Uganda's top teams, multiple continental cup appearances, heaps of mentions, only 20 years old - think it's a keep, but I can't make a "clear keep" argument.

More newspaper articles found and being added to establish notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agsmaoineamh1 ( talkcontribs) 05:53, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Weak Delete - I really did try here, went through a couple of archives, but I cannot find more than is presently here, and it’s not quite enough. One decent general article, and a range of lesser supports, is at least one good ref. too little. But if someone could find a little more. (Prior comment: I have reviewed for the local project, and rated, and tidied a little, and I see potential, but notability requires at least one more decent source. A dedicated article in one regional paper is a start, however, and I think I see more out there. I would not weight NPP queue time so much - I understand that if a new item is not captured in the first half-day, it can drift down the queue for months, due to review capacity issues. I will return with a !vote. (Added) For now, I see two gallery listings, plus Saatchi Online, and mentions of a third gallery, and at least two exhibitions participated in - and a self-written piece in the newspaper of record, The Irish Times, which says something, as they don't invite many to do that. I incline towards a Weak Keep.) SeoR ( talk) 08:39, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - It's WP:TOOSOON for this artist, as after a WP:BEFORE search I found no records of museum shows, or notable museum collections. She has had a few exhibitions, one solo and a handful of group shows, but none are at notable venues. FYI Saatchi Online is user-generated content, meaning any artist can sign up to promote their work. All I find is one review, the rest are calendar listings, blogs, social media and more user-submitted content. The Irish Times piece mentioned about does not count towards notability because it is a primary source written by her; it's fine it is in the article, but we need reliable sources that have been written about her work. Maybe in a few years after she has had her work exhibited and reviewed widely there will be enough to sustain an article. Agsmaoineamh1, I noticed that you shot and uploaded the profile picture of her, just curious if are you connected to her in some way that should be disclosed?

Another low-level subcounty league with only very trivial coverage in local papers. Although this article is referenced this time, the sources are all connected to the league and are not truly independent of the subject.

Google Books has two passing mentions. The three Google News hits are all, without exception, completely trivial too. Other internet searches also yield very little.

ProQuest results are almost entirely from Belper News and Ripley & Heanor News, both extremely local papers; the coverage itself is also trivial and barely extends beyond result listings and an occasional match report.

Non-notable regional Saturday league playing at a level below WP:FOOTYN's presumption of notability. I'm not really seeing enough for WP:GNG either. Internet searches come back with nothing better than an utterly trivial mention in The Guardian. A reasonable number of results in newspapers, for example searches of Redhill and District Saturday League and Redhill and District Football League come up with very brief write-ups for the AGMs and fixture/result listings in local papers like Surrey Mirror, Sussex Agricultural Express and Dorking and Leatherhead Advertiser, in most cases taking up only a small portion of a column on one page. Not enough for WP:GNG in my view.

  • Keep. There are a couple of decent articles in for example Dagens Industri, available through w:sv:Mediearkivet, going beyond routine coverage. I've expanded the article and added sources. I didn't know much about Enblad before I started digging, but the articles I found easily convinced me of his notability. He's been at the heart of several important cases and deals in Sweden, not least during his tenure at HQ, and is apparently one of the main subjects of at least one (non-fiction) book, Den stora bankhärvan by Carolina Neurath, about the scandals at HQ. I haven't read it, but I found this article in Resumé (magazine) naming him "one of the main characters" so I'm sure there's plenty more to add in addition to what I've found. / Julle ( talk) 14:56, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Julle There's more, I agree, but I don't think it slips him past WP:GNG unless there's significant news coverage of the attempted bank takeover with him noted as a key player. My Swedish isn't up to the search (and it might be he belongs in Swedish WP but not enwiki). Being a litigious suit who doesn't like journalists doesn't, sadly, make him notable. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 04:53, 22 April 2021 (UTC) reply
The ligitation, of course, is not relevant here, so there's no need to refure it as an argument for inclusion – it's the fact that he's one of the main subjects of a book by a respected journalist that was the point of that link. / Julle ( talk) 12:23, 22 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Also, I would consider the Dagens Industri articles enough to pass GNG. / Julle ( talk) 13:45, 22 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Julle, these are indeed sources I didn't find before. Like Alexander, I am not completely sure they meet GNG. (Though, as a corrective to Alexander, I would say that Sources do not have to be available online or written in English, even on the English Wikipedia.) Going off the current article footnotes, sources 1 and 3 are behind a paywall, and my local library database doesn't have them. I am not totally convinced they are more than routine coverage, which DI has a lot of. Can you specify what exactly is in these articles about the man beyond just announcements of position changes and share sales? Footnote 4 is just routine coverage. Footnote 2 is a little stranger, with some mix of anonymous gossip and quotes from Enblad himself, which doesn't seem enough to me. The book, if published, could be significant, but I can't seem to determine if it was ever published. The article, from 2011, says it was due to be published 3 months later (August 2011 presumably), but I can't seem to find it on Amazon, WorldCat, or other general searches.
Nonetheless, I am now not at all confident in my delete vote, so I am changing to neutral for now. MarginalCost ( talk) 17:40, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I'll try to take another look at the DI articles later to address your question (I don't have access to them right now, as I need to be logged in to Mediearkivet) but regarding the book it was published in 2011, by Norstedts. / Julle ( talk) 17:47, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply
OK, so, one of them is a half-page which goes through some relevant personal history. The other is slightly shorter, but still focused on him as a person, not merely in passing and also with relevant background, not just what's happening there and then. / Julle ( talk) 07:32, 7 May 2021 (UTC) reply
I'll check out the book the next time I'm at the library, too, which seems very relevant here but I doubt that will happen before this AfD discussion is closed. / Julle ( talk) 07:33, 7 May 2021 (UTC) reply

The result was redirect to Human cannibalism#China. Consensus is clear that we don't want to keep this as a separate article. But there is no agreement about whether to delete or merge the content.

Cannibalism in China

Cannibalism in China (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article makes wildly inaccurate and borderline racist claims about the Chinese while citing incredibly dubious sources. The article purports to show that cannibalism "has a peculiarly rich history in China". However, it uses extremely unreliable sources such as the extreme right-wing Japanese revisionist historian Jitsuzo Kuwabara (whose "academic article, incidentally, is titled using a pejorative word for China) and Commentary, a right-wing magazine that publishes neoconservative opinion pieces (not peer-reviewed academic at all). When the article does cite sources with more credibility, such as the Sydney Morning Herald, the incident involving cannibalism reported in the source is either a very localized and sparse one (in which case generalizing cannibalism as an inherent part of Chinese culture from that particular incident would be very intellectually dishonest), or is admitted by the source itself to be unverified rumours.} Nyarlathotep1001 ( talk) 17:47, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Also, I just want to point out that the creator of the article, going by the history of the description of their user page, is a Japanese nationalist as well as a self-described misogynist who talks about women derogatively.

  • Merge per Jumpytoo. The article's topic appears to be notable, but it doesn't actually appear to be separately notable than those two entries, and I don't see a need for a WP:CFORK from the Human cannibalism page. There are articles in other wikipedia (such as French, Chinese, and Vietnamese wikipedias) that cover this topic. The Chinese-language article appears to be particularly long and detailed, so it may be worth it to also incorporate some of the content from there into the articles, though we should be careful in ensuring that content moved over matches the sourcing standards on this Wikipedia (the specifics on the WP:RSP equivalents do not appear to be the same, so there might be differences in community consensus on source reliability more generally). — Mikehawk10 ( talk) 20:48, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Human cannibalism#China (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. Editors have repeatedly redirected and unredirected the article since 2004. This article has existed in various iterations since 2004 such as this 13 May 2004 version, this 30 November 2010 version, and this 30 August 2017 version.

    The 2017 version of the article cites:

    Key Ray Chong (August 1990). Cannibalism in China. Hollowbrook Publishing. ISBN  9780893416188.

    which received a book review in this December 1991 article in The China Quarterly.

    I oppose deletion of the history since the history of the article may content useful content and sources that can be used to expand Human cannibalism#China even though as editors have noted, some of the 2021 version of the article is or was sourced to unreliable sources and should not be used.

    Cunard ( talk) 10:12, 3 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • I have to disagree about the usefulness of the article's history in providing sources and content. The 2004 version of the article you linked is a stub that has no citations at all and only claims that are written with WP:NPOV issues, such as lines like "Chinese literature often says that one ate his bitter enemy. It is not just Chinese cliche but the fact". The 2010 version and 2017 versions both have basically almost the same citations as the present version of the article (with the exception of the book by Key Ray Chong you mentioned). The content in those two versions may actually be worse than the present version as they have even more claims with WP:NPOV issues which lack any citations at all. Nyarlathotep1001 ( talk) 12:09, 3 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • The article had at least three useful sources: Key Ray Chong's Cannibalism in China (Hollowbrook Publishing), Zheng Yi's Scarlet Memorial: Tales of Cannibalism in Modern China ( Westview Press), and Gang Yue's The Mouth That Begs: Hunger, Cannibalism, and the Politics of Eating in Modern China ( Duke University Press). I've copied the three of them here so that they are all saved. Some of the article's content is sourced to Key Ray Chong's book such as:

    According to Key Ray Chong, while the Chinese people are not particularly different from other peoples as far as the practice of "survival cannibalism" is concerned, they also have a unique form of cannibalism which he terms "learned cannibalism." Learned cannibalism is "an expression of love and hatred, and a peculiar extension of Confucian doctrine."

    ...

    Li Shizhen detailed the use of humans many times for medicinal purposes. For example, human meat was a good cure for tuberculosis. He also wrote a detailed account of the use of human sweat, urine, sperm, breast milk, tears, dirt, nails and teeth for medical purposes.

    This information is well-sourced, due weight, and can be merged to articles like  Human cannibalism#China or reused in a new Cannibalism in China article. But I agree that large parts of the article are non-neutral and should not be reused. Cunard ( talk) 10:12, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete and redirect (do not preserve history). I have reviewed the prior revisions that Cunard mentions, and the potential that the article "may" contain useful content is simply not there.

Mz7 ( talk) 19:19, 3 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: In addition to the book source from Key Ray Chong that should be saved, here are two other books listed in the current version of the article that should be saved:
    1. Zheng Y (Cheng I), Scarlet Memorial: Tales of Cannibalism in Modern China ( Westview Press, 1998) ISBN 0813326168
    2. Gang Yue, The Mouth That Begs: Hunger, Cannibalism, and the Politics of Eating in Modern China ( Duke University Press, 1999) ISBN 0822323419
    The book source from Zheng Yi was reviewed in this book review written by Key Ray Chong in China Review International. The book source from Gang Yue was reviewed in this book review from the Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese from Lingnan University. These sources are reliable sources that can be used to expand Human cannibalism#China. Based on these three books, there is enough material to justify a standalone article for Cannibalism in China though it would require a rewrite not based on the current version of the article.

  • Comment - @ Cunard: I have downloaded and evaluated the books by Zheng Yi and Gang Yue that Cunard has mentioned and I'll link their publisher's webpage here, along with other related sources, so people can purchase/download the works legally and check that I am evaluating these books fairly. I will hesitate to credit Zheng Yi's book Scarlet Memorial: Tales of Cannibalism in Modern China as a reliable source because it has received its fair bit of criticism on the reliability of its writing. For instance, Gang Yue (who is, notably, the other source Cunard mentioned), writes on page 251 in his book The Mouth That Begs: Hunger, Cannibalism, and the Politics of Eating in Modern China that "(Scarlet Memorial) can and must be read as a fictional text, despite the author's claim to historical accuracy and scientific truth" and describes Scarlet memorial as "political polemic" on page 246. In fact, a large part of chapter 6 (Pages 228 - 261) in Gang Yue's book is a critique of Zheng Yi's work and its reliability. This review and this review (along with others quoted in them) also notes that the book lacks evidence, has implicit Sino-centric assumptions concerning minorities, is prone to speculation and has a political bias that underlies it's claims. Now, onto Gang Yue's book The Mouth That Begs: Hunger, Cannibalism, and the Politics of Eating in Modern China itself. His book focuses mostly on "cannibalism" and "hunger" as literary metaphors and motifs for the social and political disorder and decay in twentieth-century China rather than an actual account of cannibalism in China. Most of the book focuses only on fictional literary depictions of cannibalism, and when Gang Yue does make a statement on real-life cannibalism, he states on page 62 that "Above all, one would be hard put to believe that real cannibalism has been a systematic social practice since the dawn of Chinese civilization, and the topic is more suitable for tall tales than serious literature". To me, it just seems... very counter-productive to retain a page titled "Cannibalism in China" (even as a page that redirects to another article) just to maintain a source which itself states that cannibalism isn't a part of Chinese culture in the real world at all. As such, both sources don't really provide much reliable information about real-world practices of cannibalism in China. As per WP:EXTRAORDINARY, extraordinary claims require multiple high-quality sources. In this case, not only are there only a few sources, neither of the sources I have evaluated in this comment (which were deemed the most reliable out of the bunch) are high-quality enough in supporting the claims of cannibalism. In fact, one of the sources (Gang Yue's book) even contradicted the claims. Thus, I still think we should Delete the article and that there aren't enough good sources or content about the subject to merit a standalone page either.

* Lakewood Fordland car dealer bought by Larry H. Miller Dealerships “We’ve been in a period of growth over the last two years as the auto industry is strong and the Denver market is thriving,” said Dean Fitzpatrick, president of Larry H. Miller Dealerships. This is an interview profile. Its fails WP:ORGIND specifically and it is an announcement and press-release.

We are committed to providing a seamless experience to our customers, and are proud to offer a quick and convenient way to purchase parts online; whether purchasing a single standalone item or in conjunction with an installation,” said Dean Fitzpatrick, president of the dealer group Another routine announcement, a press release.

  • Keep - I honestly can't believe the rationale for deletion is actually "The subject does not meet Wikipedia notability critera outside of Sweden". If the subject is notable in Sweden then the subject deserves an article on any and every Wikipedia no matter the nationality or language written. If they choose not to include her then that is their business. An article was written on a notable woman who happens to be Swedish. The article is sourced and clearly proves her notability. She passes the basic GNG requirements. -- ARose Wolf 13:39, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Diastinaut ( talk) 14:16, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I said nothing about the nominators personal mission on Wikipedia. The nominator expressed they have no opinion on the subject after stating that they somehow know who and why the article was created without producing any concrete evidence to support said claims. Where is the evidence that the creator of the article is the subject? Where is the evidence that the subject wrote the article as a self-promotional piece? I believe a reasonable nomination would be that the article is, in the nominators opinion, promotional. Unless the nominator is somehow connected to the subject and can produce definitive evidence that the creator is, in fact, the subject then the nominator themselves is POV pushing and has their own COI in regards to their mission on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information or a random list of news events. Apart from one instance in Buffalo, NY (the city I'm closest to :)) most of these events listed have only garnered one-or-two WP:ONEVENT local news articles, none of which this article has citations from national news too, making them and this list not meet WP:SIGCOV. 👨x🐱 ( talk) 14:59, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply

    • Then why don't we just have articles on those bigger events without having them be listed with less notable events. 👨x🐱 ( talk) 15:34, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Coincidentally, I was considering this for deletion just yesterday. The main concern I have here is that this is an indiscriminate list. Additionally, many of the incidents are subject to WP:RECENTISM and are based on sources which cite video clips or vague reports, and thus the whole context and situation were not scrutinised, meaning making claims like this aren't appropriate. This information is also covered under George Floyd protests#Violence and controversies and quite extensively at that.
Some example of listings I found particularly problematic were:
  • Journalist Jonathan Ballew was broadcasting the protest when he was assaulted with a chemical agent, but the citation [18] only says he alleged that was so.
  • Police shoot a protester with a pepperball round without provocation as he filmed them. the person who was reportedly shot said it was without provocation [19]. Making a claim that it was "without provocation" is completely unacceptable in this case.
  • Several officers pepper sprayed a man who was yelling at them from the side of the street. in this case, the statement offers no WP:BALANCE. The source [20] clearly states defence for the officers involved, but the article makes no mention of this. Seems like WP:NPOV to me.
Another issues I have is that police are often violent - per the Cambridge Dictionary, violence is "extremely forceful actions that are intended to hurt people or are likely to cause damage". This is a common occurrence in law enforcement as arrests and force often involve hurting a suspect or causing damage. This list seems inappropriate as we would be here for years trying to list every example of police force. During the protest, the police likely arrested thousands of people, many of which would meet the definition of 'violent', but of course we do not list all of these. Also, I think the nom summarises the deletion argument pretty well. Kind regards, Willbb234 Talk (please {{ ping}} me in replies) 16:21, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I was going to make changes to the article, based upon the bulleted items, but I see that Feoffer already took care of it. Willbb234, Regarding the last item, would it help to have a definition of police violence - like use of excessive force than is needed for the situation? something else? to put in the article and to use as criteria for what gets added to the list?– CaroleHenson ( talk) 21:05, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I listed three examples of the many issues with this article. Fixing them three will not magically make the article fine. Kind regards, Willbb234 Talk (please {{ ping}} me in replies) 21:17, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I understand that. You made very valid points - so why not address them? I took a stab at a definition here and of course there is a link to police brutality.
I am thinking it would be really good to identify, and likely delete, any instances that were in accordance with standard police procedure for the given situations.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 21:22, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
It would be close to impossible to do that; most of the sources were written on the day or days after the incident occurred. Proper investigations most likely did not or will not happen due to the shear number of said incidents and the already stretched workforce. As for addressing the aforementioned issues, I believe the article should be deleted and so I have no incentive to improve the article. Kind regards, Willbb234 Talk (please {{ ping}} me in replies) 21:26, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Comment above makes several points about the perceived quality or shortcomings of the present article, but doesn't articulate any reason why the principle underlying the article's existnce (i.e. LISTN) is not fulfilled. The assertion that the article content is also covered under George Floyd protests#Violence and controversies is inaccurate. Perceived problems with individual list items or the criteria for inclusion determined by consensus, should be dealt with directly or on the article talk page, not by deletion of the article.

  • Keep - the relevant test is WP:LISTN. The other issues mentioned have to the with the inclusion criteria, which can be changed on the article's talk page (for example, tightening sourcing requirements for inclusion). There is no requirement that individual incidents be individually notable, as LISTN says. To pass LISTN, we need to see coverage as a group. Here's what I'm seeing: The Guardian, BBC, Vox, NY Times, The Guardian, The Hill, Slate, Insider, Vice, Newsweek, NPR, The Guardian, Vox, CBS News.... — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:36, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • This coverage is good for talking about police violence at the George Floyd protests in general, with the most notable examples here and there. It does not justify listing every single event covered in the local news that may not be covered from these national and other-country sources. And like Willbb234 said, there is a section already in the Floyd article as general as these sources. 👨x🐱 ( talk) 19:56, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • Then you should suggest tightening the inclusion criteria on the talk page. This is the kind of coverage we need to satisfy the list notability guideline, though. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:08, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • Tightening the inclusion criteria risks turning the article into a summary of the section in the George Floyd protests article. Kind regards, Willbb234 Talk (please {{ ping}} me in replies) 21:21, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Update: just adding that reframing as an article rather than the list is fine with me if someone wants to take that on. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:25, 22 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • I might be willing to do that. I am trying to sort out if that would make it a {{ main}} article for Violence_and_controversies_during_the_George_Floyd_protests#Violence_by_police or if that section at the prose style version of the list should be merged.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 02:53, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • List form offers a lot of benefits, like brevity and visual cueing. It's much easier to skim/read when there's clear visual boundaries between incidents. It would take a LOT of skill and time to turn this information into prose without it becoming a repetitive, monotonous wall of text. A prose makeover would remove reader's ability to toggle between "sorted by location" and "sorted chronologically across all locations". Feoffer ( talk) 02:24, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • Makes sense to me (to keep it in list form).– CaroleHenson ( talk) 02:46, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • I know you're not replying to me but I suggested article form over list form and what you've described doesn't seem like a response to any of the reasons I gave. The point is that a list of all incidents is not desirable or acceptable. We've seen factual errors in the list, indiscriminate content, and a page too long to navigate meaningfully. If I'm looking at this page, I want to see the ten most important/widely covered/egregious incidents, not hundreds of random events. The point of changing to an article would not be to do the list again but in prose, but to summarise the extent to which these incidents occurred, the main characteristics of the incidents (e.g. was there a racial bias in who was targeted?) and the way they inform people's ideologies and policy suggestions.— Bilorv ( talk) 11:10, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
          • I see your points, and they are valid. I just started thinking about how much easier it is to read and manage the article of a lot of incidents in list form. If it is possible, it would be nice to narrow them done to those that are clear issues... and perhaps add a column to identify race-related incidents.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 15:52, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
            • I don't think a table can convey the nuance of "This person said the incident was race-related in this way, while this person argued this other thing", and I can't imagine a reader seeing it anything other than "these incidents were really bad because they were racist" (or, "Wikipedia is calling these things racist; that's not neutral"). It also prevents the drawing of connections between different events. A list is not a good way to organize a serious analysis of a systemic issue. — Bilorv ( talk) 17:56, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
              • You say: "I want to see the ten most important/widely covered/egregious incidents, not hundreds of random events." That makes sense. But for my part, I want to see an exhaustive tabulation of the hundreds of events that were documented by Duocette & Miller, backed up by RSes. Wikipedia is plenty big enough for a list AND a prose summary of the "top ten" incidents. Feoffer ( talk) 19:10, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep per Batmanthe8th and Rhododendrites. WP:LISTN is the test and it's easily met. Nor are the events INDISCRIMINATEly drawn from news reports, they were first cultivated by Doucette & Miller, whose cataloging of the events was widely cited. Other concerns are talk page material. Feoffer ( talk) 19:50, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete per Willbb234. This seems like it's just a run-down list of every single incident that involved police violence against a protestor, with absolutely no other context than "protestor got hurt real bad", which creates NPOV concerns. We don't need to list every single incident where a cop fired a pepper ball at a crowd and it gave an anarchist an ouchie. AdoTang ( talk) 20:48, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Move to Police violence during George Floyd protests. The scope of the list is too indiscriminate and this is a magnet for bad content (some indication above of factual issues in the current list). However, the topic is extremely notable and existing sections like George Floyd protests#Police attacks on journalists and Violence and controversies during the George Floyd protests#Violence by police come nowhere close to giving it its fair coverage. The main contention by protesters is that the police are unduly and unfairly violent towards certain groups, and many people would further argue that police response to the protests themselves exemplifies that argument: giving fair weight to that view and the evidence for/against it is needed. Perhaps it will become clearer in years to come, when there is proper academic analysis of the police violence in the protests rather than rushing-to-the-publish-button news coverage, but it is already notable from Rhododendrites's list of sources covering the topic as a whole. If a move doesn't take place, this shouldn't be read in favour of keeping or deleting. — Bilorv ( talk) 23:21, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Move to Police violence during George Floyd protests, per Bilorv. The sourcing provided by Rhododendrites shows a discrete topic/spin-out topic, but the list-based framing in the current article is way off-base for an encyclopedia article. — Goszei ( talk) 22:09, 22 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per WP:LISTN. Many of the references affirm that these incidents have been discussed "as a set or group". A stand-alone list is probably the best way to present the information. In Minneapolis, our City Council passed a resolution opposing the use of "less lethal" crowd control methods as a direct result of the many incidents where protesters and journalists were injured. gobonobo + c 00:59, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep the relevant criterion of WP:LISTN has been met (not going to repeat it here): the topic of which individual instances are under discussion have been discussed collectively as part of a broader issue.

  • Keep – LISTN is clearly satisfied. Arguments for moving and restructuring as something other than a list are fairly convincing, but doing so shouldn't be a precondition of keeping. While I think some of the issues raised by Willbb234 are surmountable problems, the question of the definition of violence is indeed more complex. One possible, though possibly counterintuitive, solution would be to ignore LISTN's sentence beginning "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability"; i.e., rather than trying to formulate our own inclusion criteria, to only include incidents that have been mentioned in the context of lists, overviews, databases etc. (several of which have been linked above). –  Arms & Hearts ( talk) 19:52, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I hear what you are saying. A lot of it makes sense, but I think that there could be some logic that's not too cumbersome to differentiate whether an incident is excessive ( police brutality in the United States) / against peaceful protestors or according to police procedure. I think the key question is: what were the protestors doing before they were attacked? Otherwise, I think the list loses it's meaning.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 20:24, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

    From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations (my bolding):

    There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports.

It is strange that while there are probably at least 4000 tier 1 and tier 2 IT companies in the US, this entirely unremarkable IT shop will be kept. The whole thing is a subversion of notability, as the list above is another collection of routine coverage that completely ignores WP:NCORP, like it doesn't exist, and makes a mockery of notability and the five pillars. I'll see what Arbcom says about it. scope_creep Talk 10:42, 10 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: Happiest Minds passes Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations through receiving substantial coverage in analyst reports that provide critical analysis of the company's performance. Analyst reports are not "routine" coverage that cannot be used to establish notability because WP:NCORP specifically lists analyst reports as sources that can be used to establish notability. "Run-of-the-mill company in its run-of-the-mill sector" is not a policy-based rationale for deletion when the company has received significant coverage in reliable sources.

    The nominator wrote "I also expected that it would receive special consideration, along with many other American company articles and American CEO's articles, that I notice are being kept at AFD, in the last few weeks, indicating some kind of WP:BIAS, as there seems to be a trend, even though they are entirely common and non-notable." Regarding the comment about WP:BIAS, which redirects to Wikipedia:Systemic bias, Happiest Minds is not an American company. It is a company headquartered in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

Wholly unsourced since its creation in 2012 (tagged since 2015), this "Geordie folk song" seems not to have been published, although a performance may have been broadcast on BBC, once. The article isn't sure, either. My WP:BEFORE search finds nothing, with the exception of many hits (<80) at Google books although the hits that are searchable return nothing (or nothing relevant) for "puddens" or "puddin". Many of these hits are dictionaries of dialect or lists of words and phrases. I can't prove, therefore, that any of these books pay direct attention to the putative song (and even if they do, I have no page numbers to cite). The closest I come to finding the title anywhere is in the 2nd EL, a page for an actual recording The Cheviot Hills, which mentions that composer Jack Robson also wrote this song. SO: can't prove WP:V or WP:GNG, WP:NSONG seems to also fail. Beyond which, article consists primarily of the complete lyrics (despite: the "song does not appear to have ever been published, officially") and apparent WP:OR concerning some of the variations of wording. I hate to kill off a culturally relevant work, but if it's known only through oral traditions (since, maybe 1950), how can we write about it? —  JohnFromPinckney ( talk) 12:47, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Merge to Llanidloes and Newtown Railway rather than Llandinam. Two usable sources have been provided - [23] and [24] - both of which are about the railway with side mentions of the station. Not enough for a standalone but some expansion of the list entry for the station at Llanidloes and Newtown Railway can be made of that. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 18:04, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
There are many thousands of railway and subway stations. The question is sometimes raised as to whether one of these places is notable enough for a standalone article. Wikipedia:Notability says: "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." If enough attributable information exists about a station or railway line to write a full and comprehensive article about it, then it may be appropriate for the subject to have its own article. For proposed or planned stations, historic railways stations that only existed briefly, or stations on metro, light rail, tram, people mover, or heritage railway lines, if insufficient source material is available for a comprehensive article, it is better to mention the station in an article about the line or system that the station is on.
This absolutely does not say that "railway stations above a certain age automatically get an article". That is still entirely dependent on availability of a sufficient amount of good material. I actually agree that the Kidner book added by Redrose64 does provide enough information now, but that has nothing to do with this guideline. Please don't do this - it's the same misapprehension as claiming that every song that charts should automatically get an article as per WP:NSONG... -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 17:40, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Yes, you get a pass by phrasing... the peeps above and below you don't. And no, if there is insufficient sourcing to write an article, then even the station where the Salamanca ascended unto heaven would not get an article. It's an indicator of presumption of notability, not a criterion of sufficieny. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 18:04, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply

The result was merge to 2002 Arab Cup. There's more keep votes here than merge votes but none of the keep votes providexany sourcing to show gng. I'm not suggesting this is a non notable tournament, but to keep editors need to show significant coverage that goes beyond the standard morning after news reports. As nothing has been presented merging seems to be the strongest argument as it at least allows forking at a later date if the required coverage can be identified.

  • Keep I feel it's unfair to single out this one article out of how many others are of these Finals?? This is technically an Arab International tournament with two countries in a final. Why is it any different from the UEFA Euro's? Why treat it any differently. There is huge coverage in the Europe for the Euro's. I honestly can't see why there wouldn't be reasonable coverage for this tournament and final. I feel this nomination is floored. Being said, there are merits for merging the final articles into the main competition articles. And because that hasn't been addressed here, I would also point to a procedural keep because nothing is said about the other final articles in this category.

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason to keep an article.-- User:Namiba 14:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply
@ Namiba: sometimes OSE is a valid reason to keep. As the essay says, 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, so if the others are notable, this should be too. However, I'm a little unconvinced that the Arab Nations Cup is significant and notable enough to warrant articles on its finals. Microwave Anarchist ( talk) 15:26, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
If those articles had survived AFD, I might see your point. However, this article clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTNEWS.

It is not inherently notable and there are not sufficient independent sources demonstrating notability. That is why.-- User:Namiba 14:10, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
That's not a germane argument. So the final of the 2002 European Cup isn't notable either, then? [32] And no, that's not WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - it's a direct parallel to this event held in a part of the world representing over 200 million people WHO SPEAK ARABIC.

Perhaps it is not. If you nominate it for deletion, we can have that discussion. WP:EVENTS, particularly WP:SUSTAINED, is the standard here. Let's discuss whether this article passes it or not.-- User:Namiba 14:54, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Even with the sources in the article as it stands, it flies past WP:BASIC and WP:GNG, and arguably EVENTS and SUSTAINED. These are major national daily newspapers - Arab News is the national English daily of Saudi Arabia, Al Yaum is an Arabic national daily in Saudi. Jazeera needs no introduction - Al Wasat was Bahrain's leading independent newspaper at the time and KUNA is Kuwait's version of Reuters, the national news agency. I mean, what else do you WANT in terms of RS? That's four major Arab regional media outlets, without breaking sweat. This one is a no-brainer... Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 16:21, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I didn't expand on my initial merge since I thought this would be a clear merge, so I'll do so now - I'm still in favour of upmerging this article. The Arab Nations Cup isn't a major cup competition - it's a regional one, evidenced by Morocco sending their U-23 team, probably analogous to the CECAFA Cup, which we don't have stand-alone finals articles for. We can always spin the article back out if it gets more developed, but I don't think it's a valid WP:SPLIT right now. SportingFlyer T· C 17:07, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • @ SportingFlyer: the Arab Cup is now under the auspices of FIFA, and has been renamed FIFA Arab Cup. While not major, it will definitely become more and more important with time. Anyway, my vote above stands: if we can find a bit more info on the game (background, match events, etc.) then I would keep it. Otherwise, it should be merged to the main article. Nehme 1499 17:44, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Would it being under FIFA now make the 2002 final article notable? Tournaments can change but that doesn't mean the notability standards change for all the tournaments all of a sudden. I wouldn't mind going to keep if the article is expanded, until then, I'm still on merge. -- ArsenalFan700 ( talk) 19:57, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
No I don't think it would really drastically change the notability of this particular final. I'm just saying that the tournament is becoming less "minor". Nehme 1499 20:25, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I'm just making the distinction between a major continental tournament and a regional international tournament - this is clearly a regional international tournament, the fact it's now under FIFA doesn't really change anything. It also doesn't mean we can't have an article on the final, just that given the article's current development and duplication of the information already in the parent article, it's better merged until we get enough content to properly split it out (agreeing with you both.) SportingFlyer T· C 20:42, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
This is not a vote. Can you explain what you mean as "worthy?" Do you know of independent sourcing which shows sustained coverage?-- User:Namiba 14:02, 3 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of an organizational founder, not properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for organizational founders. As always, just being president of an organization is not an automatic notability freebie in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume of media coverage about him and his work -- but four of the seven footnotes are newspaper op-eds where he's the bylined author of the content, and the other three are his "staff" profiles on the self-published websites of companies or organizations he's been directly affiliated with. But people aren't notable just because they have profiles in their own employers' staff directories, nor do they get over the bar by being the author of media coverage about other things -- the notability test involves being the subject of media coverage written by other people. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a stronger notability claim than just existing, and better sourcing to support it than just his own self-written content.

The result was keep. No delete !voter was able to show how Sdkb's sources, all of which were in-depth coverage by reliable outlets, would nonetheless not be sufficient for WP:GNG to be met. Per WP:NEXIST, notability depends on available sources, not the current state of the article. The article, while not in a good state, is not so irredeemably promotional that deletion would be warranted in spite of the subject being notable. -- Patar knight - chat/ contributions 05:18, 8 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and really articles like this should not be nominated for destruction, that's not what AfD is for. For notability, he's one of the top 50 players in the world in his cohort (according to the Guardian). The heck more do you want. He plays for Real Madrid, one of the top and most famous teams in the world, in a top league, so he meets NFOOTBALL, and he meets the GNG too as there are 11 refs which is enough to support this reasonably-sized article.

    • Two Spanish newspapers and Goal.com NXGN Series, is it enough to pass GNG? -- Corwin of Amber ( talk) 13:35, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • @ Corwin of Amber: GNG requires multiple reliable sources so they all contribute to it. There is more substantial coverage found, for instance this article from China's Sina.com and this from the Daily Mail. I also found several articles in Japanese about the subject but I'm not knowledgeable enough about Japanese media to know which ones are reliable so those do not factor into my opinion. All in all, it is my opinion that the subject comfortably passes WP:GNG. Alvaldi ( talk) 14:33, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • Maybe that's enough, maybe not, I just don't understand the logic of some posters. For example, in one case GiantSnowman states that 1 article in French newspaper is enough for GNG, in the other he states that multiple newspaper mentions are not enough for GNG. With no explanation. Le Parisien is 'is very significant' while Nettavisen, Manchester Evening News, Aftenposten are not? Goal.com and AS.com are good sources? Then in another case the same sources are 'not enough' to keep the article. Such a shame that such bias exists. -- Corwin of Amber ( talk) 15:55, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
          • @ Corwin of Amber: I can't comment on the quality of the articles in the case of Isak Hansen-Aarøen as none of them are referenced in his AFD. Substantial articles in those publications would definitely go towards WP:GNG. If there were multiple articles from them of a similar quality as the Le Parisien article then Hansen-Aarøen probably passes WP:GNG. In the case of Mejbri, as good as the Le Parisien article is, GNG requires multiple significant sources over some time for the subject to pass. For the record, Mejbri seems to pass with the sources in his article. Alvaldi ( talk) 16:20, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - It is clear that you have started this AfD as you feel there is not much difference between Pipi and Isak Hansen-Aarøen, whose page you created and was later deleted. However, there is definitely a difference between this article and the one for Hansen-Aarøen. There are numerous articles written specifically about Pipi, in Spanish, Japanese and English, while the coverage for Hansen-Aarøen is relatively small. While I am surprised that the coverage for Hansen-Aarøen hasn't been larger, it just isn't enough to satisfy WP:GNG, whereas this, this, this, this as well as this Japanese article (and many other Japanese articles) are more than enough. Davidlofgren1996 ( talk) 12:17, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • We discuss Pipi here. If you want to discuss Hansen-Aarøen sources welcome here (I doubt you have already checked all the sources). Hansen-Aarøen, Hannibal Mejbri, Luqman Hakim Shamsudin are just the examples as there is no logic and consistency in assessment of young footballers' notability. For example, Spanish, Japanese and Malaysian newspapers are good for GNG, but, say, Norway newspapers are not reliable? -- Corwin of Amber ( talk) 13:43, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • You're the one who brought up Hansen-Aarøen earlier in this AfD, and from that moment it became clear why exactly you have started this. If I'd seen the AfD for Hansen-Aarøen, and seen the sources provided, I probably would've voted keep - this article looks very promising in terms of passing GNG, but is subscription locked. However you cannot argue that there are less sources for Pipi or Mejbri, because you are including articles about transfer speculation, the eventual transfer and brief mentions in articles - of which both Pipi and Mejbri have (minus Pipi from transfer speculation because there have never been any rumours about him leaving Madrid). These kinds of articles are not really enough to suffice for GNG, from what I've gathered in my time on Wikipedia. Davidlofgren1996 ( talk) 14:47, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Delete I can't remember the last time I saw an article as arbitrary as this combination of different countries' entirely independent systems of postal codes merely because they begin with the same two digits. Any why include the areas of US zip codes? In reality, postal service zip codes do not have areas, but the census's ZCTAs do. This is astonishingly baffling. Can't believe I'm wasting time looking at List of postal codes, but there appear to be 80 countries that use NNNNN and there's no reason to list them in the same place numerically, such meaningless trivia.

Upon further inspection the initial author only had US places, and a second person added the French places, which is baffling because Postal codes in France are not called ZIP codes.

None of that justifies the "self published blogs and blackhat SEO" claim. The Cloud and BrandBuffet are established media websites, the latter being a web magazine focusing on the field of marketing, not a pay-for-coverage trend manipulator. While they do carry PR news, such items are clearly marked as such. The piece in question is a feature article. While the pieces are based on interviews, they are structured such that the significance of the subject is clearly explained in journalistic voice, and as such do contribute to establishing the GNG (the subject "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"). TrueID I'd regard as borderline. While their content is contributed, they do employ a central editorial team, so it is not a self-published blogging platform. Other established media sources which have profiled the subject include A Day Bulletin [36], Sanook [37], The Standard [38], and 40+ by Post Today [39]. -- Paul_012 ( talk)

The Cloud article cited in the article says (my translation):

Anyone who has followed her videos, all produced by herself, can feel the depth of her research, digested to create fun and addictive stories out of those many once hated to study... She just won the Popular Vote at the Thailand Best Blog Awards 2018. For me, what's most interesting is how a serious knowledge channel, that doesn't feature funny videos or showbiz news, has been able to attract so many devoted followers.

    The above-linked Sanook article has the following introduction:

    From the Love Destiny craze which has ignited trends of revisiting Thai culture and history, Thai literature is another potential area that could benefit from renewed interest and development of new learning methods. But in an age where young people live mostly online, getting them interested in books is difficult enough, let alone old dusty literature. However, not all hope is lost, because we now have a "net idol" who's not selling cosmetics or making song covers, but a nerdy net idol who's working to break down the walls of stereotype young people have against Thai literature, with the single goal of getting more people to realise how literature can be fun. She is "View" Chananya Techajaksemar, creator of the Point of View YouTube channel and author of Wannakhadi Thai Digest, a book that breaks down stories of Thai literature, making them accessible to young people.

    The 40+ article contains a short biography of her (three paragraphs) in a larger column covering activities by TK Park aimed at getting children interested in literature. The BrandBuffet article delineates the author's views and the interview content less directly, so I'll skip it. The A Day Bulletin article and The Standard programme are mostly interview. The subject has also been the subject of news coverage concerning an online political controversy (Khaosod English [40]), though I think this should be seen as a much minor contribution to her notability (she must be already notable for controversy involving her to make then news). -- Paul_012 ( talk) 13:38, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

It's not clear why this isn't sourced to USGS topos, because the spot is labelled "Gallaway" going far back— except when it's labelled "Galloway", and on top of that, mostly it's labelled "Gallaway/Galloway School". As far as I can tell, the school is the only thing that was ever there at this location, and while I can find the usual references as such, that's about it. There is a Galloway Creek adjacent to the spot, and some geological references, but nothing says this was a settlement of any sort. Mangoe ( talk) 03:33, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete (changing to Not sure yet. 20:06, 29 April 2021 (UTC)) It does not appear to be a populated place (if it ever was), as Google Maps shows no buildings. It's not clear that it was ever a place under that name. The single ref for that is the U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System. I suppose that's usually accurate, but nothing's 100% accurate. It's wrong when it says it's a "populated place", because it's not. If it's wrong about that, it could be wrong about the rest. And I think it is. (However, Google Maps does label the area as "Gallaway", so there's that.)

    However, Schooner Gulch is a place. It was in what is now Schooner Gulch State Beach. It was very close to the coordinates given for Gallaway, California -- practically coterminous. And there were people there. It says here that that the Galloway School was in Schooner Beach. This also says the Gallaway School was in Schooner Beach.

    Schooner Gulch was founded by John Gallaway (he also gave the land for the school), and my guess is that "Schooner Gulch" and "Galloway's Place" (--> "Galloway") were two names for the same thing. There just isn't enough there for us to say that "Galloway" was ever a place, and it's certainly not populated now. The material for Schooner Gulch and the school (there ain't much) could be put in the Schooner Gulch State Park article I guess, if anyone wants to.

  • Galloway school district is in Lyman L. Palmer's History of Mendocino County on page 154. Carpenter's and Millbury's History of Mendocino and Lake Counties, California has the 1869 mill in Galloway Gulch, distinct from Schooner Gulch, on pages 42 and 43. Palmer also has the presence of the Nobles family from 1876. It appears to be the early 20th century geologists who introduced the Gallaway spelling, when they documented the Gallaway Formation, and at the same time spelled Schooner as Skooner, both spellings used by one C. E. Weaver in the 1940s and corrected by later geological reports (see Addicott "Age of the Skooner Gulch Formation" Geological Survey Bulletin, Issue 1254, footnote on spelling on page C2 for correction to Schooner, later 1980s reports correct Weaver's Gallaway). Schooner Gulch effectively took over the area, but before it was a state park the Galloway creek and the mudstone coastal Galloway formation was distinct from sandstone Schooner Gulch to geologists (c.f. Addicott, which has a map).

    Saving the best for last, though: There's a hidden gem in a Bureau of Labor Statistics 1887 report to the California State Legislature that has a 170 page county-by-county review of the places in California, which in the section on Mendocino lists Galloway under "Other towns" on page 222. So it was a town in the 19th century.

  • This discusses the Gallaway School, and states that the land was farmed after the school was closed. This gives the boundaries of the school district, and says that it had 46 students in 1880. This from 1914 mentions a mill. This lists it in other towns, and is presumably what Uncle G found. Found a bit about the school, quite a bit about the geological formation, a bit about the creek, and some stuff for a ranch near Cloverdale that's in the wrong county. On the whole, I'm leaning delete, unless significant coverage of this place as a town can be found. Right now, all we can write about this is Gallaway (also spelled Galloway) appears in an 1887 list of towns in Mendocino County. The Galloway School was active from 1870 to 1936, and was located on land donated by the Gallaways. After the school closed, the land was used as farmground. And I'm not convinced we can really build an article from that. Hog Farm Talk 16:16, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • I think that there is. I mean, here at web site for the park (published by the California Department of Parks and Recreation) we have:

      Historically, Schooner Gulch is within the territory of the coastal branch of the Central Pomo Indians which extends from the mouth of the Navarro River to the mouth of the Gualala River. This area was frequented by Russians and native Alaskan hunters as early as 1812, and by Mexican land owners in the 1840's. John Galloway was the first recorded occupant of the area. John was born in Scotland and occupied an area of Schooner Gulch between 1866 and 1868, which was largely used as a milling operation for timber. Logging continued at Schooner Gulch until the late 1800's, through various other milling operations. Another interesting part of the history of Schooner Gulch is the Galloway School. The school land was donated by John and Margaret Galloway. Galloway School operated for 62 years, from 1874 to 1936 with never more than 40 students. In 1940 the school lot was sold, and land around the lot was farmed by the Nobles family until 1986 at which time the land was sold to the State of California. Legend has it that Schooner Gulch got its name from a story in which a schooner was sited, one evening, stranded on the beach in the mouth of the gulch, yet in the morning showed no evidence of being there.

      Just right there is the basis for a small article, and then you've got those passages from the book and there's other stuff.

      My question is, what is the place called. Schooner/Skooner Gulch, or Galloway/Gallaway, or what? Are these two separate things, or just two different names for the same thing? (If the latter, I'm OK with flipping a coin and being like "Schooner Gulch, also called Galloway, was..." or vice versa.) BTW Schooner Gulch is also the name of the actual gulch there.

      Also, there is a populated area at the intersection of Schooner Gulch Road and Ten Mile Cut Off Road, which is about two miles inland, 38°53'03.1"N 123°36'46.5"W. I don't know what it is called, if anything. Galloway, for all I know. It looks like (not sure) that both that settlement and Schooner Gulch/Galloway are, administratively, inside the town of Point Arena (which the main town is about 2.5 up the coast). Mnmh from here:

      The map of the coast is thickly marked with names, but most of them relate to lumbering settlements that have vanished with the marketable timber of the immediate locality. Some of these tiny places bore odd names: for instance, during the morning I passed Rough and Ready, and Hard Scratch. Others, less striking but more attractive, were Anchor Bay, Signal Port, Fish Rock, and Schooner Gulch.

      Hmmmmm, well now here is a big long history of some Russian immigrants... it has

      ... They were bringing from Point Arena their big traction engines with which they expect to do their plowing, the weight of one engine being about eight tons. Arriving at Schooner Gulch, three miles out from Point Arena, the lead engine with the water truck crashed down the bridge and turned over in the stream. The engineer, with the fireman, jumped, but Nicholas Pogsikoff, who was walking between the engine and the water truck, was instantly killed. ...

      Schooner Gulch is about three miles away from Point Arena, to the south. But then in the same article we have

      "Tragedy first struck while the tractors were being driven down from Point Arena. The old bridge across Schooner Gulch collapsed while one of the 8-ton engines was crossing, killing the colony member walking alongside. They buried him on a bluff and surrounded his grave with a ring of white stones now gone, but The Sea Ranch has placed a marker near the location.

      Looks like the same incident. BUT, "placed a marker" has a link, and it goes to 38°44'37.0"N 123°30'53.7"W. Which is almost ten miles south of Schooner Gulch/Galloway. So that's odd. But then, the marker is smack dab in the middle of Sea Ranch, California who are fancy people and maybe they just wanted a cool marker there. 8 miles is "nearby" if you squint and are trying to look all historical and all, I guess. (I can see the marker on google street view but I can't read it.)

      Seems unlikely that there's be two different gulches name Schooner Gulch in the immediate area, but maybe. Or maybe the source is wrong or confused. There are some other sources out there I think but I'll stop for now.

      One thing is for sure: it's not a populated place now, so we're not required to have an article on it if we don't want. Herostratus ( talk) 20:06, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

      • That's an argument for having a lot more about the history prior to the 1980s in Schooner Gulch State Beach. ☺ It's also why I mentioned the Nobles, pointing to where we can source their history to the sorts of histories where, probably, the state park blurb writers themselves sourced their information from. Moreover, I had already answered the question about the spelling, above. Uncle G ( talk) 09:22, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

This is an article that just never should have existed. I read it and still don't understand what the topic is. First, it starts talking about a person who play music like a dj, but isn't because he also plays video. So like I did, you're probably thinking its a VJ (remember when they used to have them on MTV)? But no, the article insists that they are not that either. Next the article takes a left-turn and goes into an in-depth discussion about some obscure device that Pioneer put out 15 years ago. (I guess it never caught on). The article uses made-up terms such as "DVJ discs"(Google it, there's no such thing), and "DVJ player"/"DVJ mixer".

I'll add that BEFORE failed at locating any source that mentions this term in scholar/books and even regular web search gives nextr to nothing useful.

  • Keep. And don't PROD articles like this. That's for useless articles that probably nobody is going to support but don't meet CSD standards. If you think that no one is likely to support a large complete article on an activity that a lot of people do... you are way wrong.

    "Super niche topic" is no kind of rationale for anything. Half our articles are about stuff more obscure than this. Per Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, "Wikipedia... incorporates elements of general and specialized encyclopedias" and stuff like this is exactly what you'd find in specialized encyclopedias. Here is a book "Law Enforcement Memorabilia Price and Identification Guide" which is a specialized encyclopedia. And Encyclopedia of Federal Law Enforcement Patches so's this. There're others. Whether they have any general information about the hobby useful for the article I don't know, but most probably.

    Here's an article in the St Louis Post-Dispatch, "Police memorabilia collectors share badges, stories in St Charles". That uses the term right there, but if you don't like the article name, suggest a different one rather than deleting the article. Here is the Santa Maria Times with "Police memorabilia collector/s show nearly doubles in size". The Police Chief has "Each precinct will contain a trading area for those interested in adding special items to their police memorabilia collections" (can't read more), so apparently this is something supported by police departments.

    There's the basis for your article right there. But I mean, beyond that, it's abundantly clear that a lot of people are doing this -- there are scores of google results of commercial sites selling this stuff. You can assume that a fair number of people are going to be interested in it. It's getting eight views a day... mnmh that's actually pretty low, but still not nobody (I have seen worse). And it's a typical hobby like collecting other stuff, not something outside the pale of reasonable things for us to write about about. So I mean I would think the approach would be "Here's a notable worthwhile subject about something that lots of people do. Let's find a way to have an article on it.". We are here to have articles, not not have articles, within reason.

    There's a bunch of threads on the talk page, so editors are interested in the topic too. (Mnmh, and the talk page has "This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 27 August 2019 and 5 December 2019" so there's some snob appeal if we need it.)

    Yes the article has no sources, but I don't think the editors writing it were just making all that stuff up. So the sources for that must be somewhere. There's no reason to believe it's not true, so while ref'ing is important and necessary it's not super urgent. It'd be OK to tag for refs and come back in a few years and check it out. And anyway the sources I've given are enough to support an article anyway. Why are people wanting to throw away people's hard word that readers want. I don't get it.

However, CommanderWaterford makes a critical point that this article is currently pure WP:OR from the early days of Wikipedia, and as such merits a WP:TNT treatment, unless someone feels like verifying the claims inside? - GizzyCatBella 🍁 12:06, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Tagged for notability since 2009, it appears the team was covered in the Portland newspaper only once (the source in the article) and apart from a couple very short mentions in other newspapers (mostly Fresno) and one local television news spot, I don't think they're notable. One of the newspaper blurbs said the league was amateur. A merge into the league article might be proper. SportingFlyer T· C 19:10, 13 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, easily. There are plenty of good sources, easily meets the WP:GNG. They're just not in the article. Here's a story by the local ABC channel, and here is one by the local CBS channel. Those're videos, which are a pain to transcribe but are acceptable. This URL doesn't work but can be dug up in the Wayback Machine probably, it's an article in The Skanner (a local weekly) about their opening day. Here is a short 2019 article in The Oregonian, Portand's main paper. And I can see there's more, altho I haven't checked if there're any more sources reliable and notable enough. But this alone is enough to ref and probably expand the article. It's just a matter of doing it. Can't do it if the article is deleted.
Also... the first of the Wikipedia:Five pillars is " Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia" which starts off "Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias..." and here's a book called "The Women's Football Encyclopedia: 2016 Edition" which is just that, a specialized encyclopedia. It's a "comprehensive history" so it most probably has some useful material on the Fillies. Herostratus ( talk) 08:22, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • The Google book search you posted brought up no results. The Skanner article was not archived. A Newspapers.com search brings up nothing. We have one general interest article on the team, two general interest local television news stories on the team, and one article we can't access of questionable utility, and some mere mentions from newspapers in other cities. That's not enough for a keep, you can't write a good encyclopaedic article with those sources alone, and you'd also expect a notable sports team to have significant coverage over time, especially if the team is an amateur one. SportingFlyer T· C 11:22, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Enh? Here's the Amazon link for "The Women's Football Encyclopedia: 2016 Edition". Pretty sure the book exists. I don't know if it has any useful info on the Fillies, but based on the book description there I'd be surprised it it didn't.
OK, for the other, it depends on one's definition of "a good encyclopaedic article". People's personal opinion of that vary widely, and maybe you're stricter than me. We can agree to disagree, but the WP:GNG is something to look at. It's not a hard rule, but it's a good quick exercise in gauging if an article's worth it. So, GNG says you want "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject:". Sources means at least two, and we have that. CBS and ABC local TV stories and The Oregonian and so on are probably generally reliable for most stuff, we use stuff like that. They're also notable and independent, not some fanzine or whatever. As to "significant coverage", the GNG leaves that to us, only telling that a passing mention in part of a single sentence is not significant coverage, and an entire book is. There's an awfully broad range in between, so you've got to kind of take it as "you guys figure it out".
So, for my part, I've always taken "significant coverage" to mean "enough material from at least two articles (or equivalent) to make a decent article rather than just a stub", which "decent article" is like a couple good meaty paragraphs say. We have lots of articles that are only that long, and so it's a de facto standard I guess. So I guess I'm not an outlier. The article right now is only two sentences (not counting the tables), but it looks like there's enough there to expand it to ten sentences or so, which is plenty. But that can't happen if it's deleted.
And another way I like to look at it is just to ask: "For readers searching for this term, instead of taking them to this article we should send them to a 404, and that will enhance their experience because ___________. What goes in the blank?" Herostratus ( talk) 18:57, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • "Well, I wanted to learn about the Portland Fighting Fillies, but there's nothing there. Well but I found out something more useful. I learned that the Wikipedia doesn't consider them notable! I'm much happier now having learned that than anything I could have learned about them in an article." Herostratus ( talk) 04:24, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • This is an article tagged with notability concerns for a decade for a team playing in an amateur league. I can't access one of the two sources you mentioned, but the KATU video has the team on the set, so it's less independent than you'd think. They're just an amateur sports club which has received only a very little secondary coverage. A redirect, possibly per Coolabahapple, wouldn't be improper here. SportingFlyer T· C 18:30, 2 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • I mean... the overarching vibe I get here is basically "I've already decided I don't like this article, so why are you bothering me with facts?" Who cares what you personally can or can't access? I can. Who cares if you don't like that they are amateurs? I don't. So what if KATU brought the team on set? It is common to conduct interviews on set. It doesn't make the the interview worthless. Is KATU biased in favor of the team, because they're on set? What statements of fact in that source, specifically, do you question, because they were made on set?
As a general rule, when someone demonstrates -- As I did -- that an article meets the GNG, an appropriate response might be "Oh, in that case, I change my stance" rather than "So what? I still don't want people to be able to read this stuff." Herostratus ( talk) 18:16, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply
Because I don't think you've demonstrated that it meets GNG - the KATU looks like routine and non/independent coverage, and even assuming the benefit of the doubt on the other local news broadcast, they just haven't been discussed substantively in the media. My amateurism comment only reflects the difficulty around non-professional sports teams: my old amateur sports club would get mentioned in the paper with relative frequency, but an article on them would almost certainly get deleted on WP:NORG grounds, since none of it is really all that independent from the team. This article has a similar problem. SportingFlyer T· C 19:41, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply
Oof. I did not realize that they had merged into the Portland Shockwave. That is different. There's no reason that the material of this article can't be merged into that one. Since there isn't much material now (there could be a bit more, but there isn't), a Redirect would be in order. A separate section in that article could be added if anyone wants. And the Portland Shockwave has tons of articles and stuff. So mea culpa for not getting this basic fact.
But just as a matter of interest, I literally don't understand what you are on about teams and news sources not being independent of each other. If the newspaper (or TV station) owns the team, or something like that, then that'd be a problem. But that's not the case here is it? Or you saying "local team, local paper, everybody's uncle knows somebody's cousin, they're too intertwined" or something? Or are you saying that local TV papers and stations aren't notable enough to be sources (that's way different from not being independent of each other isn't it)? Or actually what???

    I have added more references to support the information given about the athlete. Most of the media articles are either in French or Arabic from Algerian media. I can add those to the references if they make sense. All statistics about Mohamed Ali Gouaned are from World Athletics's Official website, the official international athletic association that is maintaining all records and achievements by athletes worldwide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wansharissi ( talkcontribs) 13:16, 9 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    The athlete has won a silver medal at the Youth Olympics in 2018 and another silver medal at the African Youth Championships in 2019 both in 800 m. His main distances are 400 m and 800 m. He has so far the best time in 2021 on the 600 m for senior level [47] which is a big achievement for his age (he is only 18 years old). He is on the all-time best of the 800 meters for U18 athletes [48].
    The athlete has 3 more meetings in April 2021 and is expected to achieve the qualification time for the 800 meters in the Tokyo Olympics planned this Summer.

I do not believe the article meets WP:NSONG. Although the song did chart, I could not find any evidence of significant coverage from third-party, reliable sources to support this having an independent article.

  • Redirect to Asia Cruise - fails WP:NSONGS. No significant covergae in multiple reliable independent sources. The fact that the song has charted on the Rhythmic chart or has been released independently as a single is not by itself reason for a standalone article since notability requires independent evidence. -- Ashley yoursmile! 09:54, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Asia Cruise - Since it was single-only with no associated album, it can be redirected to the singer. Chart placement is valid but not particularly impressive and can be mentioned at the singer's article. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 13:55, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

    • It may well be these things but it hasn't received in-depth coverage outside of the organization that created it, or indeed in-depth coverage at all. The Office for National Statistics creates all sorts of categorisations and constructs such as Self-employed tradespeople in multicultural metro suburbs, but we don't have to have an article on all the ones that fail WP:GNG.

    • The point is that they do not have this joint identity. You are in fact making this point by arguing that their identities are "strong and separate". Uncle G ( talk) 18:51, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • They have both a separate and conjoint identity. This is quite normal with geography in which areas are nested and combined to form larger areas which all have their specific definitions and names. Consider, for example, that I am writing this in West Ealing which is part of the London Borough of Ealing which is part of West London which is part of Greater London which is part of the Greater London Built-up Area. And that's not all as there's London and Middlesex too. Now, notice that these are all blue links for separate pages. This is not a problem as we have a specific policy, WP:NOTPAPER, which tells that that we can take as many pages as we like to detail the complexity and confusion of the real world. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉( talk) 19:32, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • You again make the case that they do not, as all that you can point to is nesting, nothing to do with the concept at hand, rather than to anything documenting this machine-generated concept in use by anyone other than its creators, and then argue that because documented and widely used geographical concepts have articles, this one must too, despite a complete dearth of any geographers, cartographers, or anyone else other than its creators actually employing it and our Project:no original research policy. Uncle G ( talk) 20:58, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
          • The concept is neither new nor original. As noted below, The Conurbations of Great Britain identified this conurbation over 50 years ago. This latest analysis naturally records and reports its current extent using the latest technology and techniques. Insofar as it is highly expert, official and intended for long-term analysis, we should naturally include it. As the details are available under an open licence, it's a good fit with our project and philosophy. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉( talk) 22:36, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Merge with Warwick district - The name of this built-up area is auto-generated by the ONS and is misleading. Leamington Spa may be larger but the whole county is named for Warwick. The whole conurbation is governed by the Warwick district where the conurbation forms the bulk of the population.

  • I came across this from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography#New articles on built-up areas, which in turn I discovered from Alfreton/South Normanton Built-up area ( AfD discussion). I wondered for quite a while what to do. It seems that the U.K. has its very own version of the Wikipedia:Reliability of GNIS data problem: a bunch of articles created from a statistical database. There are a whole bunch of these "built-up area" articles. In fact that was why this was removed from Proposed Deletion by DGG.

    The U.K. problem is that no human, let alone an actual geographer, created these groupings. They were machine generated, as can be confirmed from the documentation that Pontificalibus posted in the other AFD discussion. There is no actual human expertise involved here. (The doco does make a "Hey look! The computer almost got it right." congratulatory note at one point. ☺)

    A further problem is that these things aren't used by anyone else. I wondered if, genuinely, geographers had classified these three places as a conurbation. We could at least rename and refactor, if that were true. So I went looking. The book on conurbations mentioned in the WikiProject does not state this. I couldn't find anything else. So I thought maybe "urban area", "urban district", or some such. I found exactly one off-hand mention of an "urban unit", in a 1972 report about air pollution ( ISBN  9780114101497). The "urban district" generated a lot of false positives for things like local "Urban District Council"s in documentation of local government reorganization in the 1960s

    I even found a professor of geography telling me that this was not the case that these were one unit:

    Other double towns are clearly distinct in primary functions and age of development. Many of these consist of young industrual or resort settlements that have grown up within a short distance of old market towns or ports. Variant types are exemplified by Higham Ferrers and Rushden, Warwick and Leamington Spa, […]

    — Arthur E. Smalles, The Geography of Towns ISBN  9780202366302, page 110

    That is in fact what Conurbations of Great Britain says (on page 257) too, with "ancient centre" and "residential town". These are two towns, often joined with "and" but not considered as one "built-up area". There is no Twin Cities or Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex here.

    This idea here apparently hasn't escaped the confines of the statistical analysis that it was solely invented for, in the ample 8 years that it has had to do so. No-one actually documents things this way. As such, our Project:no original research policy applies against novel ideas that have not gained traction outwith their creators. Delete.

    Uncle G ( talk) 18:51, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

    • Page 256 of that book, definitely calls Warwick and Leamington a conurbation. I don't see why you are denying it even exists as a conurbation or one built-up area. It clearly is one. There's no mistaking it. It's even mentioned as one urban area in this Guardian article about walking in the area [55]. And that section on double towns doesn't say they aren't a built-up area either. I don't think its notable enough for an article. But denying it even exists as a built-up area is absurd. Eopsid ( talk) 19:11, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • Trying to make the claim that denying that this concept is in use outwith its creators is the same as declaring the areas not built-up is a complete straw man. And I cannot find a claim of a Warwick conurbation on page 256. Warwick is on pages 254 and 257, as also listed in the index, where, as above, it is not described as part of a conurbation. Page 254 even tells us that it is "separated from" an actual West Midlands conurbation. What are you talking about? Uncle G ( talk) 20:58, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • And the full quote from that book contradicts what you are trying to say

      [...] such pairs have usually retained their administrative seperateness but whether like or unlike they inevitably count for several purposes as a single group. ISBN  9780202366302, page 110

      Eopsid ( talk) 19:17, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • … except that they do not count as this group, and you have no evidence that they do, not least because you won't find anyone outwith its inventors even using this name, let alone this concept. You won't find a "Royal Leamington Spa built-up area". You won't find a concept of a Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa conurbation, either. Indeed, you won't find a two-towns-and-a-parish concept rather than double towns. Geographers simply haven't recognized it and documented it. I've pointed to a professor of geography who says outright that these are double towns, "clearly distinct" from each other, and "separated from" actual conurbations. Where's your geography expert saying otherwise? Because a lifestyle piece in a newspaper about walking trips is not anywhere near the same level of expertise, let alone expert explanation supporting this particular geographic concept.

        The sad thing is that, once again, Wikipedia got a bunch of generated-from-a-database articles promoting a concept that no-one other than its creators use instead of the actual (somewhat woolly, but even that is verifiable) geographic concept of double towns a.k.a town couples (or "Doppelstadt" in the German literature, I believe).

        Uncle G ( talk) 20:58, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

        • I dont see how a double town isn't a conurbation or a built-up area, they're not mutually exclusive concepts. That book extract makes no mention of them not being conurbations. Regarding the claim of Warwick and Leamington Spa being a conurbation in that other book, page 256 section Towns near the west midlands conurbation starts with "Three small conurbations and the town of Worcester", then goes on to list the conurbations (and Worcester) with a paragraph on each. A section of which is on Warwick and Leamington. Eopsid ( talk) 21:26, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as there is no in-depth coverage about the area. WP:GEOLAND clearly stated that census tracts are not inherently notable. A WP:BEFORE turns up nothing, most of the results are about Royal Leamington Spa and not about this area. The name is most likely only being used for statistics and census purposes, and have no notability outside those uses. SunDawn ( talk) 02:39, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • This is not a census tract as those are small areas of about 1000 people, used as census "atoms". What we have here is not some arbitrary and tiny subdivision but a huge conurbation. It is a physical reality – like a lake or forest composed of a contiguous extent of buildings. It has been recognised in this way for over 50 years and it now has an official name.

  • Delete No WP:SIGCOV on the subject so he fails WP:GNG. It doesn´t matter if he has played one game or 100 games, passing WP:NFOOTY only means that the subject is likely to meet the general notability guideline. He still has to meet it which Asuka Nose does not. Alvaldi ( talk) 18:43, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - I've tried to see if there is any significant coverage of him. Singapore media seems to have next to nothing.

  • Keep As far as I know, the uFMOD is the only XM player written in pure assembly. It's the first one available for FreeBSD and KolibriOS. Maybe there are other reasons why it's notable. I'm still researching the topic. Some sources are so old that they are available through web archive only. An interesting 15yo discussion, which mentions uFMOD as one of the reasons why assembly programming is still alive. [2] Notice that the people in this discussion are really famous. For example, there is Randall Hyde...
    Another source mentions that uFMOD is the preferred option in demo scene and gamedev when the size limit is 115K or less. [3]
    Another interesting source is WASM.RU. It is long dead, but still available through web archive. [4]
    I've found over 20 citations on Pouet. [5]

    • sudonull is an IT news site, not a blog; kolibri-n.org is a news site about KolibriOS, probably the oldest one, known since 2007. There are references to this site in the official kolibrios.org website. WASM.RU was one of the very first low level programming sites, older than the Wikipedia. I can't imagine more reliable sources. Obviously there are no articles about demoscene or low level programming on CNN, NYT, Bloomberg. Dr.KBAHT ( talk) 16:16, 12 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • I've been digging and finding more interesting sources. This one is a review published in Russian in 2011. [7] It's interesting because the reviewer is saying that uFMOD is the only XM library written in assembly. He also mentions support for x64.
    Regarding that article in SudoNull mentioned earlier, I found that it was originally written in Russian and published in Habr in 2014. [8] Dr.KBAHT ( talk) 15:55, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    More blog postings. Please see WP:RS. Self published sites and user generated content, even if they style themselves 'news sites', are not the kind of sources we need to establish notability. - MrOllie ( talk) 16:11, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • I'm not claiming that Habr is a reliable source. That reference is useful to identify the author of the original article: real name, address, other publications and so forth. On the other hand, I don't understand why Sudo Null is not a reliable news site. They appear as a reference in many articles in the Wikipedia. They are not self publishing because the article was originally published in a different site, in a different language. Even if you don't like Sudo Null, there are still other references like WASM and Kolibri N10. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr.KBAHT ( talkcontribs)

Yes that’s right. The stress tends to shift to the final syllable of the word and the initial syllables often become a consonant cluster. In addition because the writer is Tunisian his name is almost always transliterated following French norms rather than the standard modern Arabic to English system. Hence a search on the name as spelled in the title produces pretty much nothing. Mccapra ( talk) 15:47, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • If the only notable thing about this album is that it charted, then couldn't that information be easily contained in the Voices (American band) article? I just do not think charting alone is a strong enough reason to have a separate album article if the album did not receive significant coverage. Aoba47 ( talk) 18:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • WP:NALBUM says that a recording may be notable if one of the criteria met. Charting is one entry on the criteria, but as I have said in my rationale, I do not think that is a strong enough reason to support an independent album article when this charting information can be represented on the group's main article. If you read WP:NALBUM, it says the following: "All articles on albums, singles or other recordings should meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." (and I have added the italics for emphasis). I do not see significant coverage on this album. Aoba47 ( talk) 23:52, 25 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Voices (American band)- fails WP:NALBUMS and WP:GNG. Excepting the AllMusic review, the recording lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources. Charting alone is not sufficient to demonstrate notability of the album, and given that it has not received any certifications or major accolades, a standalone article is not appropriate. -- Ashley yoursmile! 05:32, 28 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. The strongest notability claim here is a completely unsourced claim that a song went to #1 in "the correspondant radio charts", failing to clarify what "the correspondant radio charts" is or whether it's IFPI-certified. We're looking for Billboard, not just any random chart whose existence you assert but fail to verify. Nothing else stated here passes any NMUSIC criterion at all, and the sole footnote is a Q&A interview in which she's talking about herself in the first person on a non-notable and unreliable blog, which is not a notability-supporting source. We are not a free public relations platform on which emerging musicians are entitled to have articles for the publicity — making it comes first and then the Wikipedia article follows, not vice versa. Bearcat ( talk) 16:27, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Bearcat, the claim of her reaching number one on the radio charts can be verified from this. Nonetheless, all sources that I could find are either interviews with subject that does not include any commentary from the interviewer which makes it neither secondary nor independent, or are questionable with little evidence of editorial oversight: 1 and 2 (except I guess this). I don't think these can be used to demonstrate notability. -- Ashley yoursmile! 04:40, 7 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia is not a gazetteer of political parties. Recent discussions and consequent deletions for Independent Green Voice, Scottish Family Party which are active parties that are running candidates show there are recent precedents for the wider Wikipedia community agreeing that not all political parties are notable, and notability does not attach itself to political parties as a right. This article has sources, but no evidence of WP:GNG and WP:ORG and general achievement.

  • Keep. Being the main subject of seven articles [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] in reliable sources is SIGCOV, even if the party is defunct. Also, I love this article!

    • Comment As a matter of interest, I noticed you were in favour of deleting the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Publican Party (3rd nomination) article, which was similar in the number of sources, yet with this article you want to keep it, which appears to have had less coverage than the Publican Party article which was deleted. What is the difference you see between the two articles leading you to two different conclusions regarding retaining and deleting of each article? Angryskies ( talk) 13:15, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • As I recall, the level of coverage was actually very different. For the Publican Party, the coverage was very slim, mentioning the party only in passing, except (IIRC) for one article. Here, on the contrary, we have multiple articles covering the party in depth, as their primary subject. JBchrch ( talk) 21:16, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, passes WP:GNG. We really need to have a centralised discussion about the notability of political parties, and maybe think about creating a standalone guideline to reduce ambiguities in deletion discussions. How much coverage is significant coverage? How much weight do we give to electoral success (or lack of it)? I think creating a rule of thumb to use in these sorts of discussions would be preferable to the current situation, where standards are applied differently from week to week and arguments often consist of "that article was deleted/kept, so this one must be too". PinkPanda272 ( talk/ contribs) 14:47, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I agree with the nominator that, as Wikipedia is not a gazetteer of political parties, this article does not make the grade of notability and should be deleted. doktorb words deeds 17:32, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment to PinkPanda272 - many years ago (decade or so!) I drafted my own potential soft policy for political parties. I think I'll revisit it over this Bank Holiday weekend and invite comment. As you know, you and I work well on many articles but we seem to diverge on the matter of political party notability and I'd like to see how we "gel" on forming a policy together. As Emeraude knows, they and I completely disagree on this subject, with me almost always voting "delete", and they almost always voting "keep". It would be good to Emeraude and I to also find some kind of workable compromise. We cannot, as Wikipedia generally or UK political project editors more generally, allow each and every entry on the Electoral Commission Register to have articles here. It's simply not feasible and the wider community tend to agree. So at some point I'll draft something based on my original idea and we'll get shifting. doktorb words deeds 17:32, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Thank you for your comment, Doktorbuk, I look forward to reading your proposal. I think we both have a roughly similar idea of where that threshold should be, and I'm sure that with the assistance of other editors we will be able to come up with an acceptable solution. Regards, PinkPanda272 ( talk/ contribs) 21:33, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Note that per WP:N (my emphasis added) "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: (1) It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG) listed in the box on the right; and (2) It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy." As this article clearly meets WP:SIGCOV any putative guidelines for political paries would not affect the underlying established notability of this party. Jonathan A Jones ( talk) 08:47, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply
Indeed, Jonathan A Jones, when a party obviously passes the WP:GNG like this one, then it wouldn't be affected by any further guidelines (which I envisage to only be used in situations that aren't as clear-cut). PinkPanda272 ( talk/ contribs) 13:20, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - Perhaps you could clarify exactly what is reading like an advertisement? Then we can just clean it up. It seems to be written pretty neutrally when I read it. When I see WP:PAID, I also usually think paid contributors as well, so is there a particular COI you think needs disclosing? If it's that, that wouldnt be grounds for deletion, draftification at worst, but again, as an AfC reviewer, we're usually only checking for a neutral presentation of the facts, and this seems fairly neutral to me. I'm not seeing any overly flowery language like, "This great podcast will engross you as it teaches you about such and such..." Maybe ditch the paragraph that talks about "over 300 episodes"?

    If the concern is over the use of primary sources, these seem to be used in a way to simply states facts about the show or book, which would be valid under WP:PRIMARY #3. Those aren't needed to establish notability, since it has been covered in the other references and the {{ refideas}} listed on the Talk page. The article could surely be improved, but that is not grounds for deletion, as summed up nicely in WP:AFD is not cleanup (not citing a guideline, just a POV, nobody WP:BITE, plz). - 2pou ( talk) 02:03, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

    The topic is not notable. It lacks WP:RS and instead has advertising links to external websites. Desertarun ( talk) 07:07, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    Notability is a totally different argument that was not raised in the nomination.
    Regardless, as I said there are reliable sources covering the subject listed on the talk page, and thus WP:GNG is met given the coverage, and they are about the podcast itself. The sources WP:NEXIST and do not need to be actually cited in the article. Citing them in the article, and establishing a "Reception" section for example, would clearly improve the article, but that can be done over time in a WP:WIP project with WP:NORUSH. Here are the sources mentioned for convenience:

There's lots of mentions like [14]. On the whole - national coverage, plays for one of Uganda's top teams, multiple continental cup appearances, heaps of mentions, only 20 years old - think it's a keep, but I can't make a "clear keep" argument.

This article has been sitting in the NPP queue since January so notability appears unclear. I can’t find any sources other than what is already in the article as refs and external links.

More newspaper articles found and being added to establish notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agsmaoineamh1 ( talkcontribs) 05:53, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Weak Delete - I really did try here, went through a couple of archives, but I cannot find more than is presently here, and it’s not quite enough. One decent general article, and a range of lesser supports, is at least one good ref. too little. But if someone could find a little more. (Prior comment: I have reviewed for the local project, and rated, and tidied a little, and I see potential, but notability requires at least one more decent source. A dedicated article in one regional paper is a start, however, and I think I see more out there. I would not weight NPP queue time so much - I understand that if a new item is not captured in the first half-day, it can drift down the queue for months, due to review capacity issues. I will return with a !vote. (Added) For now, I see two gallery listings, plus Saatchi Online, and mentions of a third gallery, and at least two exhibitions participated in - and a self-written piece in the newspaper of record, The Irish Times, which says something, as they don't invite many to do that. I incline towards a Weak Keep.) SeoR ( talk) 08:39, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - It's WP:TOOSOON for this artist, as after a WP:BEFORE search I found no records of museum shows, or notable museum collections. She has had a few exhibitions, one solo and a handful of group shows, but none are at notable venues. FYI Saatchi Online is user-generated content, meaning any artist can sign up to promote their work. All I find is one review, the rest are calendar listings, blogs, social media and more user-submitted content. The Irish Times piece mentioned about does not count towards notability because it is a primary source written by her; it's fine it is in the article, but we need reliable sources that have been written about her work. Maybe in a few years after she has had her work exhibited and reviewed widely there will be enough to sustain an article. Agsmaoineamh1, I noticed that you shot and uploaded the profile picture of her, just curious if are you connected to her in some way that should be disclosed?

  • Delete I can find no sources that critically review her work. A feel-good story in the Independent about her marriage does not establish notability, nor do press releases from her gallery.

Another low-level subcounty league with only very trivial coverage in local papers. Although this article is referenced this time, the sources are all connected to the league and are not truly independent of the subject.

Google Books has two passing mentions. The three Google News hits are all, without exception, completely trivial too. Other internet searches also yield very little.

ProQuest results are almost entirely from Belper News and Ripley & Heanor News, both extremely local papers; the coverage itself is also trivial and barely extends beyond result listings and an occasional match report. I also did a British newspaper search which came back with barely anything other than mere results listings again. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:28, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Non-notable regional Saturday league playing at a level below WP:FOOTYN's presumption of notability. I'm not really seeing enough for WP:GNG either. Internet searches come back with nothing better than an utterly trivial mention in The Guardian. A reasonable number of results in newspapers, for example searches of Redhill and District Saturday League and Redhill and District Football League come up with very brief write-ups for the AGMs and fixture/result listings in local papers like Surrey Mirror, Sussex Agricultural Express and Dorking and Leatherhead Advertiser, in most cases taking up only a small portion of a column on one page. Not enough for WP:GNG in my view.

Similar case to Guildford and Woking Alliance League. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:12, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. There are a couple of decent articles in for example Dagens Industri, available through w:sv:Mediearkivet, going beyond routine coverage. I've expanded the article and added sources. I didn't know much about Enblad before I started digging, but the articles I found easily convinced me of his notability. He's been at the heart of several important cases and deals in Sweden, not least during his tenure at HQ, and is apparently one of the main subjects of at least one (non-fiction) book, Den stora bankhärvan by Carolina Neurath, about the scandals at HQ. I haven't read it, but I found this article in Resumé (magazine) naming him "one of the main characters" so I'm sure there's plenty more to add in addition to what I've found. / Julle ( talk) 14:56, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Ping JPxG, Alexandermcnabb and MarginalCost, if you'd want to take a new look at it. / Julle ( talk) 14:59, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Julle There's more, I agree, but I don't think it slips him past WP:GNG unless there's significant news coverage of the attempted bank takeover with him noted as a key player. My Swedish isn't up to the search (and it might be he belongs in Swedish WP but not enwiki). Being a litigious suit who doesn't like journalists doesn't, sadly, make him notable. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 04:53, 22 April 2021 (UTC) reply
The ligitation, of course, is not relevant here, so there's no need to refure it as an argument for inclusion – it's the fact that he's one of the main subjects of a book by a respected journalist that was the point of that link. / Julle ( talk) 12:23, 22 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Also, I would consider the Dagens Industri articles enough to pass GNG. / Julle ( talk) 13:45, 22 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Julle, these are indeed sources I didn't find before. Like Alexander, I am not completely sure they meet GNG. (Though, as a corrective to Alexander, I would say that Sources do not have to be available online or written in English, even on the English Wikipedia.) Going off the current article footnotes, sources 1 and 3 are behind a paywall, and my local library database doesn't have them. I am not totally convinced they are more than routine coverage, which DI has a lot of. Can you specify what exactly is in these articles about the man beyond just announcements of position changes and share sales? Footnote 4 is just routine coverage. Footnote 2 is a little stranger, with some mix of anonymous gossip and quotes from Enblad himself, which doesn't seem enough to me. The book, if published, could be significant, but I can't seem to determine if it was ever published. The article, from 2011, says it was due to be published 3 months later (August 2011 presumably), but I can't seem to find it on Amazon, WorldCat, or other general searches.
Nonetheless, I am now not at all confident in my delete vote, so I am changing to neutral for now. MarginalCost ( talk) 17:40, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I'll try to take another look at the DI articles later to address your question (I don't have access to them right now, as I need to be logged in to Mediearkivet) but regarding the book it was published in 2011, by Norstedts. / Julle ( talk) 17:47, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply
OK, so, one of them is a half-page which goes through some relevant personal history. The other is slightly shorter, but still focused on him as a person, not merely in passing and also with relevant background, not just what's happening there and then. / Julle ( talk) 07:32, 7 May 2021 (UTC) reply
I'll check out the book the next time I'm at the library, too, which seems very relevant here but I doubt that will happen before this AfD discussion is closed. / Julle ( talk) 07:33, 7 May 2021 (UTC) reply

The result was redirect to Human cannibalism#China. Consensus is clear that we don't want to keep this as a separate article. But there is no agreement about whether to delete or merge the content. The redirection is a compromise that allows editors to figure out through the editorial process whether any of this content is worthwhile to retain and to merge from the history.

Cannibalism in China

The article makes wildly inaccurate and borderline racist claims about the Chinese while citing incredibly dubious sources. The article purports to show that cannibalism "has a peculiarly rich history in China". However, it uses extremely unreliable sources such as the extreme right-wing Japanese revisionist historian Jitsuzo Kuwabara (whose "academic article, incidentally, is titled using a pejorative word for China) and Commentary, a right-wing magazine that publishes neoconservative opinion pieces (not peer-reviewed academic at all). When the article does cite sources with more credibility, such as the Sydney Morning Herald, the incident involving cannibalism reported in the source is either a very localized and sparse one (in which case generalizing cannibalism as an inherent part of Chinese culture from that particular incident would be very intellectually dishonest), or is admitted by the source itself to be unverified rumours.} Nyarlathotep1001 ( talk) 17:47, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Also, I just want to point out that the creator of the article, going by the history of the description of their user page, is a Japanese nationalist as well as a self-described misogynist who talks about women derogatively. While they haven't been active for some time, I think they should be blocked per WP:No Nazis. Nyarlathotep1001 ( talk) 11:57, 3 May 2021 (UTC) reply

WP:BLPGROUP generally only applies to small groups of people. I don't think WP:BLPGROUP can reasonably be extended to apply to countries as a whole. That being said, there are WP:OR and WP:NPOV issues in the article as it currently stands. — Mikehawk10 ( talk) 20:53, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
@ Mikehawk10:, out of curiousity, I was always under the impression that it was BLPGROUP, amongst other policies, that prohibit racist/sexist/etc-ist nonsense on the project. Is that not the case?

@ BrxBrx:It's my reading that WP:NOR prevents editors from inventing racist/sexist nonesense to be placed in articles and that WP:NPOV requires us to neutrally reflect the coverage of reliable sources (rather than nonsense from the racist/sexist blogospheres), while WP:NPA prevents editors from making racist/sexist attacks against others in their capacities as an editor. WP:NONAZIS remains an essay at this time and there does not appear to be community support for making it a policy. — Mikehawk10 ( talk) 20:50, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per Jumpytoo. The article's topic appears to be notable, but it doesn't actually appear to be separately notable than those two entries, and I don't see a need for a WP:CFORK from the Human cannibalism page. There are articles in other wikipedia (such as French, Chinese, and Vietnamese wikipedias) that cover this topic. The Chinese-language article appears to be particularly long and detailed, so it may be worth it to also incorporate some of the content from there into the articles, though we should be careful in ensuring that content moved over matches the sourcing standards on this Wikipedia (the specifics on the WP:RSP equivalents do not appear to be the same, so there might be differences in community consensus on source reliability more generally). — Mikehawk10 ( talk) 20:48, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • After seeing the change in the !vote of Jumpytoo, I'm still thinking that there can be content merged into the Human cannibalism page, under the appropriate section. — Mikehawk10 ( talk) 20:55, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply
      • May I inquire what content should be merged? Nyarlathotep1001 stated below that one of the sources used in the article invalidates the other, while not talking about to actual act of cannibalism itself, instead using it as a metaphor to describe disorder during the times of twentieth century in China. I personally do not see anything salvageable in the article. CPCEnjoyer ( talk) 22:50, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply
        • The portion from the Old Book of Tang might be well-suited under the early history section (there is currently a ~900 year gap between Jerome's letters and reports from the Crusades). Some information on the Guangxi Massacre could be merged into the China section (though to be honest it would be better to look at the material on the event's page than to lift it from this one, owing to better quality on the other page). — Mikehawk10 ( talk) 01:00, 5 May 2021 (UTC) reply
          • I would agree if the Old Book of Tang portion was perhaps covered by another source, preferably not a primary one, I believe it would be a poor fit among the many scholarly sources you can see used in the Early history section. As for the Guangxi Massacre, if it were to be included, it should probably be from its higher quality main page, as you've said. CPCEnjoyer ( talk) 09:13, 6 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Human cannibalism#China (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. Editors have repeatedly redirected and unredirected the article since 2004. This article has existed in various iterations since 2004 such as this 13 May 2004 version, this 30 November 2010 version, and this 30 August 2017 version.

    The 2017 version of the article cites:

    Key Ray Chong (August 1990). Cannibalism in China. Hollowbrook Publishing. ISBN  9780893416188.

    which received a book review in this December 1991 article in The China Quarterly.

    I oppose deletion of the history since the history of the article may content useful content and sources that can be used to expand Human cannibalism#China even though as editors have noted, some of the 2021 version of the article is or was sourced to unreliable sources and should not be used.

    Cunard ( talk) 10:12, 3 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • I have to disagree about the usefulness of the article's history in providing sources and content. The 2004 version of the article you linked is a stub that has no citations at all and only claims that are written with WP:NPOV issues, such as lines like "Chinese literature often says that one ate his bitter enemy. It is not just Chinese cliche but the fact". The 2010 version and 2017 versions both have basically almost the same citations as the present version of the article (with the exception of the book by Key Ray Chong you mentioned). The content in those two versions may actually be worse than the present version as they have even more claims with WP:NPOV issues which lack any citations at all. Nyarlathotep1001 ( talk) 12:09, 3 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • The article had at least three useful sources: Key Ray Chong's Cannibalism in China (Hollowbrook Publishing), Zheng Yi's Scarlet Memorial: Tales of Cannibalism in Modern China ( Westview Press), and Gang Yue's The Mouth That Begs: Hunger, Cannibalism, and the Politics of Eating in Modern China ( Duke University Press). I've copied the three of them here so that they are all saved. Some of the article's content is sourced to Key Ray Chong's book such as:

    According to Key Ray Chong, while the Chinese people are not particularly different from other peoples as far as the practice of "survival cannibalism" is concerned, they also have a unique form of cannibalism which he terms "learned cannibalism." Learned cannibalism is "an expression of love and hatred, and a peculiar extension of Confucian doctrine."

    ...

    Li Shizhen detailed the use of humans many times for medicinal purposes. For example, human meat was a good cure for tuberculosis. He also wrote a detailed account of the use of human sweat, urine, sperm, breast milk, tears, dirt, nails and teeth for medical purposes.

    This information is well-sourced, due weight, and can be merged to articles like  Human cannibalism#China or reused in a new Cannibalism in China article. But I agree that large parts of the article are non-neutral and should not be reused. Cunard ( talk) 10:12, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete and redirect (do not preserve history). I have reviewed the prior revisions that Cunard mentions, and the potential that the article "may" contain useful content is simply not there. The singular book source that Cunard mentions is probably the only one worth saving. If we want to expand our coverage of this subject, we should start completely over. Mz7 ( talk) 19:19, 3 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: In addition to the book source from Key Ray Chong that should be saved, here are two other books listed in the current version of the article that should be saved:
    1. Zheng Y (Cheng I), Scarlet Memorial: Tales of Cannibalism in Modern China ( Westview Press, 1998) ISBN 0813326168
    2. Gang Yue, The Mouth That Begs: Hunger, Cannibalism, and the Politics of Eating in Modern China ( Duke University Press, 1999) ISBN 0822323419
    The book source from Zheng Yi was reviewed in this book review written by Key Ray Chong in China Review International. The book source from Gang Yue was reviewed in this book review from the Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese from Lingnan University. These sources are reliable sources that can be used to expand Human cannibalism#China. Based on these three books, there is enough material to justify a standalone article for Cannibalism in China though it would require a rewrite not based on the current version of the article.

  • Comment: The history should be preserved to comply with Wikipedia:Copyrights#Reusing text within Wikipedia, a Wikipedia policy with legal considerations. At 20:46, 26 August 2004 (UTC), Cannibalism in China was redirected to Cannibalism when it was merged to Cannibalism, which was subsequently moved to Human cannibalism.

    Cunard ( talk) 10:12, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - @ Cunard: I have downloaded and evaluated the books by Zheng Yi and Gang Yue that Cunard has mentioned and I'll link their publisher's webpage here, along with other related sources, so people can purchase/download the works legally and check that I am evaluating these books fairly. I will hesitate to credit Zheng Yi's book Scarlet Memorial: Tales of Cannibalism in Modern China as a reliable source because it has received its fair bit of criticism on the reliability of its writing. For instance, Gang Yue (who is, notably, the other source Cunard mentioned), writes on page 251 in his book The Mouth That Begs: Hunger, Cannibalism, and the Politics of Eating in Modern China that "(Scarlet Memorial) can and must be read as a fictional text, despite the author's claim to historical accuracy and scientific truth" and describes Scarlet memorial as "political polemic" on page 246. In fact, a large part of chapter 6 (Pages 228 - 261) in Gang Yue's book is a critique of Zheng Yi's work and its reliability. This review and this review (along with others quoted in them) also notes that the book lacks evidence, has implicit Sino-centric assumptions concerning minorities, is prone to speculation and has a political bias that underlies it's claims. Now, onto Gang Yue's book The Mouth That Begs: Hunger, Cannibalism, and the Politics of Eating in Modern China itself. His book focuses mostly on "cannibalism" and "hunger" as literary metaphors and motifs for the social and political disorder and decay in twentieth-century China rather than an actual account of cannibalism in China. Most of the book focuses only on fictional literary depictions of cannibalism, and when Gang Yue does make a statement on real-life cannibalism, he states on page 62 that "Above all, one would be hard put to believe that real cannibalism has been a systematic social practice since the dawn of Chinese civilization, and the topic is more suitable for tall tales than serious literature". To me, it just seems... very counter-productive to retain a page titled "Cannibalism in China" (even as a page that redirects to another article) just to maintain a source which itself states that cannibalism isn't a part of Chinese culture in the real world at all. As such, both sources don't really provide much reliable information about real-world practices of cannibalism in China. As per WP:EXTRAORDINARY, extraordinary claims require multiple high-quality sources. In this case, not only are there only a few sources, neither of the sources I have evaluated in this comment (which were deemed the most reliable out of the bunch) are high-quality enough in supporting the claims of cannibalism. In fact, one of the sources (Gang Yue's book) even contradicted the claims. Thus, I still think we should Delete the article and that there aren't enough good sources or content about the subject to merit a standalone page either.

  • Keep. Notability criteria know no national borders. Ekman has long passed any notability criteria we have, having been at the centre of more than one national debate. She's been translated into at least English, German, French, Spanish and Greek. The nomination does not indicate why she'd fail our criteria of inclusion. A glance at the article history indicates that a good number of persons have worked on the article.

  • Keep - I honestly can't believe the rationale for deletion is actually "The subject does not meet Wikipedia notability critera outside of Sweden". If the subject is notable in Sweden then the subject deserves an article on any and every Wikipedia no matter the nationality or language written. If they choose not to include her then that is their business. An article was written on a notable woman who happens to be Swedish. The article is sourced and clearly proves her notability. She passes the basic GNG requirements. -- ARose Wolf 13:39, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Note: The nominator has no opinion on the subject. The primary reason for AfD nomination is self promotion. Wikipedia is not a soupbox, nor a social media platform.

Diastinaut ( talk) 14:16, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I said nothing about the nominators personal mission on Wikipedia. The nominator expressed they have no opinion on the subject after stating that they somehow know who and why the article was created without producing any concrete evidence to support said claims. Where is the evidence that the creator of the article is the subject? Where is the evidence that the subject wrote the article as a self-promotional piece? I believe a reasonable nomination would be that the article is, in the nominators opinion, promotional. Unless the nominator is somehow connected to the subject and can produce definitive evidence that the creator is, in fact, the subject then the nominator themselves is POV pushing and has their own COI in regards to their mission on Wikipedia. The consensus will be what it is -- ARose Wolf 14:49, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information or a random list of news events. Apart from one instance in Buffalo, NY (the city I'm closest to :)) most of these events listed have only garnered one-or-two WP:ONEVENT local news articles, none of which this article has citations from national news too, making them and this list not meet WP:SIGCOV. 👨x🐱 ( talk) 14:59, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Not an indiscriminate collection of information. Some of the events are not well known, but others have made bigger headlines. This article is very useful for historical reference anyways. Batmanthe8th ( talk) 15:18, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Then why don't we just have articles on those bigger events without having them be listed with less notable events. 👨x🐱 ( talk) 15:34, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Coincidentally, I was considering this for deletion just yesterday. The main concern I have here is that this is an indiscriminate list. Additionally, many of the incidents are subject to WP:RECENTISM and are based on sources which cite video clips or vague reports, and thus the whole context and situation were not scrutinised, meaning making claims like this aren't appropriate. This information is also covered under George Floyd protests#Violence and controversies and quite extensively at that.
Some example of listings I found particularly problematic were:
  • Journalist Jonathan Ballew was broadcasting the protest when he was assaulted with a chemical agent, but the citation [18] only says he alleged that was so.
  • Police shoot a protester with a pepperball round without provocation as he filmed them. the person who was reportedly shot said it was without provocation [19]. Making a claim that it was "without provocation" is completely unacceptable in this case.
  • Several officers pepper sprayed a man who was yelling at them from the side of the street. in this case, the statement offers no WP:BALANCE. The source [20] clearly states defence for the officers involved, but the article makes no mention of this. Seems like WP:NPOV to me.
Another issues I have is that police are often violent - per the Cambridge Dictionary, violence is "extremely forceful actions that are intended to hurt people or are likely to cause damage". This is a common occurrence in law enforcement as arrests and force often involve hurting a suspect or causing damage. This list seems inappropriate as we would be here for years trying to list every example of police force. During the protest, the police likely arrested thousands of people, many of which would meet the definition of 'violent', but of course we do not list all of these. Also, I think the nom summarises the deletion argument pretty well. Kind regards, Willbb234 Talk (please {{ ping}} me in replies) 16:21, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I was going to make changes to the article, based upon the bulleted items, but I see that Feoffer already took care of it. Willbb234, Regarding the last item, would it help to have a definition of police violence - like use of excessive force than is needed for the situation? something else? to put in the article and to use as criteria for what gets added to the list?– CaroleHenson ( talk) 21:05, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I listed three examples of the many issues with this article. Fixing them three will not magically make the article fine. Kind regards, Willbb234 Talk (please {{ ping}} me in replies) 21:17, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I understand that. You made very valid points - so why not address them? I took a stab at a definition here and of course there is a link to police brutality.
I am thinking it would be really good to identify, and likely delete, any instances that were in accordance with standard police procedure for the given situations.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 21:22, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
It would be close to impossible to do that; most of the sources were written on the day or days after the incident occurred. Proper investigations most likely did not or will not happen due to the shear number of said incidents and the already stretched workforce. As for addressing the aforementioned issues, I believe the article should be deleted and so I have no incentive to improve the article. Kind regards, Willbb234 Talk (please {{ ping}} me in replies) 21:26, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Comment above makes several points about the perceived quality or shortcomings of the present article, but doesn't articulate any reason why the principle underlying the article's existnce (i.e. LISTN) is not fulfilled. The assertion that the article content is also covered under George Floyd protests#Violence and controversies is inaccurate. Perceived problems with individual list items or the criteria for inclusion determined by consensus, should be dealt with directly or on the article talk page, not by deletion of the article.

  • Keep - the relevant test is WP:LISTN. The other issues mentioned have to the with the inclusion criteria, which can be changed on the article's talk page (for example, tightening sourcing requirements for inclusion). There is no requirement that individual incidents be individually notable, as LISTN says. To pass LISTN, we need to see coverage as a group. Here's what I'm seeing: The Guardian, BBC, Vox, NY Times, The Guardian, The Hill, Slate, Insider, Vice, Newsweek, NPR, The Guardian, Vox, CBS News.... — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:36, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • This coverage is good for talking about police violence at the George Floyd protests in general, with the most notable examples here and there. It does not justify listing every single event covered in the local news that may not be covered from these national and other-country sources. And like Willbb234 said, there is a section already in the Floyd article as general as these sources. 👨x🐱 ( talk) 19:56, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • Then you should suggest tightening the inclusion criteria on the talk page. This is the kind of coverage we need to satisfy the list notability guideline, though. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:08, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • Tightening the inclusion criteria risks turning the article into a summary of the section in the George Floyd protests article. Kind regards, Willbb234 Talk (please {{ ping}} me in replies) 21:21, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • Update: just adding that reframing as an article rather than the list is fine with me if someone wants to take that on. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:25, 22 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • I might be willing to do that. I am trying to sort out if that would make it a {{ main}} article for Violence_and_controversies_during_the_George_Floyd_protests#Violence_by_police or if that section at the prose style version of the list should be merged.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 02:53, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • List form offers a lot of benefits, like brevity and visual cueing. It's much easier to skim/read when there's clear visual boundaries between incidents. It would take a LOT of skill and time to turn this information into prose without it becoming a repetitive, monotonous wall of text. A prose makeover would remove reader's ability to toggle between "sorted by location" and "sorted chronologically across all locations". Feoffer ( talk) 02:24, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • Makes sense to me (to keep it in list form).– CaroleHenson ( talk) 02:46, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • I know you're not replying to me but I suggested article form over list form and what you've described doesn't seem like a response to any of the reasons I gave. The point is that a list of all incidents is not desirable or acceptable. We've seen factual errors in the list, indiscriminate content, and a page too long to navigate meaningfully. If I'm looking at this page, I want to see the ten most important/widely covered/egregious incidents, not hundreds of random events. The point of changing to an article would not be to do the list again but in prose, but to summarise the extent to which these incidents occurred, the main characteristics of the incidents (e.g. was there a racial bias in who was targeted?) and the way they inform people's ideologies and policy suggestions.— Bilorv ( talk) 11:10, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
          • I see your points, and they are valid. I just started thinking about how much easier it is to read and manage the article of a lot of incidents in list form. If it is possible, it would be nice to narrow them done to those that are clear issues... and perhaps add a column to identify race-related incidents.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 15:52, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
            • I don't think a table can convey the nuance of "This person said the incident was race-related in this way, while this person argued this other thing", and I can't imagine a reader seeing it anything other than "these incidents were really bad because they were racist" (or, "Wikipedia is calling these things racist; that's not neutral"). It also prevents the drawing of connections between different events. A list is not a good way to organize a serious analysis of a systemic issue. — Bilorv ( talk) 17:56, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
              • You say: "I want to see the ten most important/widely covered/egregious incidents, not hundreds of random events." That makes sense. But for my part, I want to see an exhaustive tabulation of the hundreds of events that were documented by Duocette & Miller, backed up by RSes. Wikipedia is plenty big enough for a list AND a prose summary of the "top ten" incidents. Feoffer ( talk) 19:10, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep per Batmanthe8th and Rhododendrites. WP:LISTN is the test and it's easily met.

  • Strong delete per Willbb234. This seems like it's just a run-down list of every single incident that involved police violence against a protestor, with absolutely no other context than "protestor got hurt real bad", which creates NPOV concerns.

  • Move to Police violence during George Floyd protests. The scope of the list is too indiscriminate and this is a magnet for bad content (some indication above of factual issues in the current list). However, the topic is extremely notable and existing sections like George Floyd protests#Police attacks on journalists and Violence and controversies during the George Floyd protests#Violence by police come nowhere close to giving it its fair coverage. The main contention by protesters is that the police are unduly and unfairly violent towards certain groups, and many people would further argue that police response to the protests themselves exemplifies that argument: giving fair weight to that view and the evidence for/against it is needed. Perhaps it will become clearer in years to come, when there is proper academic analysis of the police violence in the protests rather than rushing-to-the-publish-button news coverage, but it is already notable from Rhododendrites's list of sources covering the topic as a whole. If a move doesn't take place, this shouldn't be read in favour of keeping or deleting. — Bilorv ( talk) 23:21, 21 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Move to Police violence during George Floyd protests, per Bilorv. The sourcing provided by Rhododendrites shows a discrete topic/spin-out topic, but the list-based framing in the current article is way off-base for an encyclopedia article. — Goszei ( talk) 22:09, 22 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per WP:LISTN. Many of the references affirm that these incidents have been discussed "as a set or group". A stand-alone list is probably the best way to present the information. In Minneapolis, our City Council passed a resolution opposing the use of "less lethal" crowd control methods as a direct result of the many incidents where protesters and journalists were injured. gobonobo + c 00:59, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep the relevant criterion of WP:LISTN has been met (not going to repeat it here): the topic of which individual instances are under discussion have been discussed collectively as part of a broader issue. They do not need to be individually referenced. —— Serial 13:29, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep – LISTN is clearly satisfied. Arguments for moving and restructuring as something other than a list are fairly convincing, but doing so shouldn't be a precondition of keeping. While I think some of the issues raised by Willbb234 are surmountable problems, the question of the definition of violence is indeed more complex. One possible, though possibly counterintuitive, solution would be to ignore LISTN's sentence beginning "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability"; i.e., rather than trying to formulate our own inclusion criteria, to only include incidents that have been mentioned in the context of lists, overviews, databases etc. (several of which have been linked above). –  Arms & Hearts ( talk) 19:52, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I hear what you are saying. A lot of it makes sense, but I think that there could be some logic that's not too cumbersome to differentiate whether an incident is excessive ( police brutality in the United States) / against peaceful protestors or according to police procedure. I think the key question is: what were the protestors doing before they were attacked? Otherwise, I think the list loses it's meaning.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 20:24, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: aside from WP:NCORP concerns, I'm not seeing WP:42 satisfied. The bibliography consists entirely of press releases (not independent) and other coverage of their own operations (neither independent nor reliable). SITH (talk) 01:38, 8 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

    From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations (my bolding):

    There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports.

    Analyst reports

    1. Bhatt, Devang (2020-09-04). "Happiest Minds Technologies Ltd" (PDF). ICICI Securities ( ICICI Bank). Retrieved 2021-05-10.

      The analyst report notes in the "Key risk & concerns" section:

      Adverse effects of the novel Coronavirus remain uncertain and could be severe. The outbreak of any other severe communicable disease could have a potential impact on business, financial condition and results of operations.

      The company’s revenues are highly dependent on a limited number of industry verticals. Any decline in demand for outsourced services in these industry verticals could reduce revenues and materially adversely affect business, financial conditions and results of operations.

      HMT does not have long-term commitments with customers. Customers may terminate contracts before completion, negotiate adverse terms of the contract or choose not to renew contracts, which could materially adversely affect business, financial condition and results of operations.

      The article notes: "Analysts are mixed on the issue, with a few recommending it for risk-taking investors. “The pricing of the issue is very high. On a long-term basis, the stock may not be very attractive. But given the strong growth shown by the company in FY20, and huge demand for midcap and smallcap IT stocks these days, risk-taking investors can consider the issue for a short-to-mid term basis,” said Vinod Nair of Geojit Financial Services. Astha Jain of Hem Securities said the company is bringing the issue at post-issue PE of 12 times on an annualised Q1FY21 EPS basis."

  • Comment The company is listed and I expected it to be kept. I also expected that it would receive special consideration, along with many other American company articles and American CEO's articles, that I notice are being kept at AFD, in the last few weeks, indicating some kind of WP:BIAS, as there seems to be a trend, even though they are entirely common and non-notable. It is strange that while there are probably at least 4000 tier 1 and tier 2 IT companies in the US, this entirely unremarkable IT shop will be kept. The whole thing is a subversion of notability, as the list above is another collection of routine coverage that completely ignores WP:NCORP, like it doesn't exist, and makes a mockery of notability and the five pillars.

  • Comment: Happiest Minds passes Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations through receiving substantial coverage in analyst reports that provide critical analysis of the company's performance. Analyst reports are not "routine" coverage that cannot be used to establish notability because WP:NCORP specifically lists analyst reports as sources that can be used to establish notability. "Run-of-the-mill company in its run-of-the-mill sector" is not a policy-based rationale for deletion when the company has received significant coverage in reliable sources.

    The nominator wrote "I also expected that it would receive special consideration, along with many other American company articles and American CEO's articles, that I notice are being kept at AFD, in the last few weeks, indicating some kind of WP:BIAS, as there seems to be a trend, even though they are entirely common and non-notable." Regarding the comment about WP:BIAS, which redirects to Wikipedia:Systemic bias, Happiest Minds is not an American company. It is a company headquartered in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

Wholly unsourced since its creation in 2012 (tagged since 2015), this "Geordie folk song" seems not to have been published, although a performance may have been broadcast on BBC, once. The article isn't sure, either. My WP:BEFORE search finds nothing, with the exception of many hits (<80) at Google books although the hits that are searchable return nothing (or nothing relevant) for "puddens" or "puddin". Many of these hits are dictionaries of dialect or lists of words and phrases. I can't prove, therefore, that any of these books pay direct attention to the putative song (and even if they do, I have no page numbers to cite). The closest I come to finding the title anywhere is in the 2nd EL, a page for an actual recording The Cheviot Hills, which mentions that composer Jack Robson also wrote this song. SO: can't prove WP:V or WP:GNG, WP:NSONG seems to also fail. Beyond which, article consists primarily of the complete lyrics (despite: the "song does not appear to have ever been published, officially") and apparent WP:OR concerning some of the variations of wording.

There are many thousands of railway and subway stations. The question is sometimes raised as to whether one of these places is notable enough for a standalone article. Wikipedia:Notability says: "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." If enough attributable information exists about a station or railway line to write a full and comprehensive article about it, then it may be appropriate for the subject to have its own article. For proposed or planned stations, historic railways stations that only existed briefly, or stations on metro, light rail, tram, people mover, or heritage railway lines, if insufficient source material is available for a comprehensive article, it is better to mention the station in an article about the line or system that the station is on.
This absolutely does not say that "railway stations above a certain age automatically get an article". That is still entirely dependent on availability of a sufficient amount of good material. I actually agree that the Kidner book added by Redrose64 does provide enough information now, but that has nothing to do with this guideline. Please don't do this - it's the same misapprehension as claiming that every song that charts should automatically get an article as per WP:NSONG... -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 17:40, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply

The result was merge to 2002 Arab Cup. There's more keep votes here than merge votes but none of the keep votes providexany sourcing to show gng. I'm not suggesting this is a non notable tournament, but to keep editors need to show significant coverage that goes beyond the standard morning after news reports. As nothing has been presented merging seems to be the strongest argument as it at least allows forking at a later date if the required coverage can be identified.

Why is it any different from the UEFA Euro's? Why treat it any differently. There is huge coverage in the Europe for the Euro's. I honestly can't see why there wouldn't be reasonable coverage for this tournament and final. I feel this nomination is floored.

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason to keep an article.-- User:Namiba 14:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply
@ Namiba: sometimes OSE is a valid reason to keep. As the essay says, 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, so if the others are notable, this should be too. However, I'm a little unconvinced that the Arab Nations Cup is significant and notable enough to warrant articles on its finals. Microwave Anarchist ( talk) 15:26, 24 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Even with the sources in the article as it stands, it flies past WP:BASIC and WP:GNG, and arguably EVENTS and SUSTAINED. These are major national daily newspapers - Arab News is the national English daily of Saudi Arabia, Al Yaum is an Arabic national daily in Saudi. Jazeera needs no introduction - Al Wasat was Bahrain's leading independent newspaper at the time and KUNA is Kuwait's version of Reuters, the national news agency. I mean, what else do you WANT in terms of RS? That's four major Arab regional media outlets, without breaking sweat. This one is a no-brainer... Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 16:21, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I didn't expand on my initial merge since I thought this would be a clear merge, so I'll do so now - I'm still in favour of upmerging this article. The Arab Nations Cup isn't a major cup competition - it's a regional one, evidenced by Morocco sending their U-23 team, probably analogous to the CECAFA Cup, which we don't have stand-alone finals articles for. We can always spin the article back out if it gets more developed, but I don't think it's a valid WP:SPLIT right now. SportingFlyer T· C 17:07, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • @ SportingFlyer: the Arab Cup is now under the auspices of FIFA, and has been renamed FIFA Arab Cup. While not major, it will definitely become more and more important with time. Anyway, my vote above stands: if we can find a bit more info on the game (background, match events, etc.) then I would keep it. Otherwise, it should be merged to the main article. Nehme 1499 17:44, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Would it being under FIFA now make the 2002 final article notable? Tournaments can change but that doesn't mean the notability standards change for all the tournaments all of a sudden. I wouldn't mind going to keep if the article is expanded, until then, I'm still on merge. -- ArsenalFan700 ( talk) 19:57, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
No I don't think it would really drastically change the notability of this particular final. I'm just saying that the tournament is becoming less "minor". Nehme 1499 20:25, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
I'm just making the distinction between a major continental tournament and a regional international tournament - this is clearly a regional international tournament, the fact it's now under FIFA doesn't really change anything. It also doesn't mean we can't have an article on the final, just that given the article's current development and duplication of the information already in the parent article, it's better merged until we get enough content to properly split it out (agreeing with you both.) SportingFlyer T· C 20:42, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of an organizational founder, not properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for organizational founders. As always, just being president of an organization is not an automatic notability freebie in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume of media coverage about him and his work -- but four of the seven footnotes are newspaper op-eds where he's the bylined author of the content, and the other three are his "staff" profiles on the self-published websites of companies or organizations he's been directly affiliated with. But people aren't notable just because they have profiles in their own employers' staff directories, nor do they get over the bar by being the author of media coverage about other things -- the notability test involves being the subject of media coverage written by other people. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a stronger notability claim than just existing, and better sourcing to support it than just his own self-written content.

The result was keep. No delete !voter was able to show how Sdkb's sources, all of which were in-depth coverage by reliable outlets, would nonetheless not be sufficient for WP:GNG to be met. Per WP:NEXIST, notability depends on available sources, not the current state of the article. The article, while not in a good state, is not so irredeemably promotional that deletion would be warranted in spite of the subject being notable. -- Patar knight - chat/ contributions 05:18, 8 May 2021 (UTC) reply

    • Hiring/departing articles can be routine, but I don't think that's the case here at all.

The result was delete. This should not be re-listed a third time, and consensus is that the references are either not independent or not reliable. Therefore consensus is delete. I must feebly state that I am concerned regarding systemic bias against African articles, for reasons too complex (or I'm too lazy) to go into here.

Appears to not meet GNG, as many of the sources are irrelevant to the information that they are cited to (and many of them are simply home pages to places the subject has been tied to before, and one of them is simply a trivial mention of an activity that he has been linked to participating in). Also, the entire “Early life” section of the article is completely unsourced.

    scope creep, we've got two fairly substantial interviews in national-scope newspapers for significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources. There are a good number of reasonable possibilities to round out the WP:THREE, and I can't quite choose: lots of coverage of beach sculptures ( WP:BLP2E?), there's a local bbc radio interview (although it isn't posted online, so I'm not sure how substantive it is).

      • @ Corwin of Amber: GNG requires multiple reliable sources so they all contribute to it. There is more substantial coverage found, for instance this article from China's Sina.com and this from the Daily Mail. I also found several articles in Japanese about the subject but I'm not knowledgeable enough about Japanese media to know which ones are reliable so those do not factor into my opinion. All in all, it is my opinion that the subject comfortably passes WP:GNG. Alvaldi ( talk) 14:33, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • Maybe that's enough, maybe not, I just don't understand the logic of some posters. For example, in one case GiantSnowman states that 1 article in French newspaper is enough for GNG, in the other he states that multiple newspaper mentions are not enough for GNG. With no explanation. Le Parisien is 'is very significant' while Nettavisen, Manchester Evening News, Aftenposten are not? Goal.com and AS.com are good sources? Then in another case the same sources are 'not enough' to keep the article. Such a shame that such bias exists. -- Corwin of Amber ( talk) 15:55, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
          • @ Corwin of Amber: I can't comment on the quality of the articles in the case of Isak Hansen-Aarøen as none of them are referenced in his AFD. Substantial articles in those publications would definitely go towards WP:GNG. If there were multiple articles from them of a similar quality as the Le Parisien article then Hansen-Aarøen probably passes WP:GNG. In the case of Mejbri, as good as the Le Parisien article is, GNG requires multiple significant sources over some time for the subject to pass.

However, there is definitely a difference between this article and the one for Hansen-Aarøen. There are numerous articles written specifically about Pipi, in Spanish, Japanese and English, while the coverage for Hansen-Aarøen is relatively small. While I am surprised that the coverage for Hansen-Aarøen hasn't been larger, it just isn't enough to satisfy WP:GNG, whereas this, this, this, this as well as this Japanese article (and many other Japanese articles) are more than enough.

If I'd seen the AfD for Hansen-Aarøen, and seen the sources provided, I probably would've voted keep - this article looks very promising in terms of passing GNG, but is subscription locked. However you cannot argue that there are less sources for Pipi or Mejbri, because you are including articles about transfer speculation, the eventual transfer and brief mentions in articles - of which both Pipi and Mejbri have (minus Pipi from transfer speculation because there have never been any rumours about him leaving Madrid).

Pointless list that's inaccurately conflating two distinct things, similar on the surface but not actually related to each other at all, into one merged thing. Although it's true that ZIP Codes in the United States and Postal codes in France happen to have the same basic structure, and thus look like each other, that doesn't mean that there's any value in lists that intermingle US and French mail codes to treat them as if they were part of a single unified system.

Delete I can't remember the last time I saw an article as arbitrary as this combination of different countries' entirely independent systems of postal codes merely because they begin with the same two digits. Any why include the areas of US zip codes? In reality, postal service zip codes do not have areas, but the census's ZCTAs do. This is astonishingly baffling.

None of that justifies the "self published blogs and blackhat SEO" claim. The Cloud and BrandBuffet are established media websites, the latter being a web magazine focusing on the field of marketing, not a pay-for-coverage trend manipulator. While they do carry PR news, such items are clearly marked as such. The piece in question is a feature article. While the pieces are based on interviews, they are structured such that the significance of the subject is clearly explained in journalistic voice, and as such do contribute to establishing the GNG (the subject "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"). TrueID I'd regard as borderline. While their content is contributed, they do employ a central editorial team, so it is not a self-published blogging platform. Other established media sources which have profiled the subject include A Day Bulletin [36], Sanook [37], The Standard [38], and 40+ by Post Today [39]. -- Paul_012 ( talk)

  • Comment: To reiterate my above argument, while interview content does not help establish third-party coverage per the GNG, the introduction and basic coverage of the subject in such articles, presented in the author's own voice, based on their own research, can. The Cloud article cited in the article says (my translation):

    Apart from being the author of Wannakhadi Thai Digest, which retells stories of Thai literature in such a fun and entertaining manner, today, we are confident to say that she is one of Thailand's leading YouTubers... Her channel, Point of View, started 7 years ago, now has over half a million subscribers, each video with considerable view count, many in the hundred thousands, some in the millions... Anyone who has followed her videos, all produced by herself, can feel the depth of her research, digested to create fun and addictive stories out of those many once hated to study... She just won the Popular Vote at the Thailand Best Blog Awards 2018. For me, what's most interesting is how a serious knowledge channel, that doesn't feature funny videos or showbiz news, has been able to attract so many devoted followers.

    The above-linked Sanook article has the following introduction:

    From the Love Destiny craze which has ignited trends of revisiting Thai culture and history, Thai literature is another potential area that could benefit from renewed interest and development of new learning methods. But in an age where young people live mostly online, getting them interested in books is difficult enough, let alone old dusty literature. However, not all hope is lost, because we now have a "net idol" who's not selling cosmetics or making song covers, but a nerdy net idol who's working to break down the walls of stereotype young people have against Thai literature, with the single goal of getting more people to realise how literature can be fun. She is "View" Chananya Techajaksemar, creator of the Point of View YouTube channel and author of Wannakhadi Thai Digest, a book that breaks down stories of Thai literature, making them accessible to young people.

    The 40+ article contains a short biography of her (three paragraphs) in a larger column covering activities by TK Park aimed at getting children interested in literature. The BrandBuffet article delineates the author's views and the interview content less directly, so I'll skip it. The A Day Bulletin article and The Standard programme are mostly interview. The subject has also been the subject of news coverage concerning an online political controversy (Khaosod English [40]), though I think this should be seen as a much minor contribution to her notability (she must be already notable for controversy involving her to make then news). -- Paul_012 ( talk) 13:38, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

It's not clear why this isn't sourced to USGS topos, because the spot is labelled "Gallaway" going far back— except when it's labelled "Galloway", and on top of that, mostly it's labelled "Gallaway/Galloway School". As far as I can tell, the school is the only thing that was ever there at this location, and while I can find the usual references as such, that's about it. There is a Galloway Creek adjacent to the spot, and some geological references, but nothing says this was a settlement of any sort. Mangoe ( talk) 03:33, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete (changing to Not sure yet. 20:06, 29 April 2021 (UTC)) It does not appear to be a populated place (if it ever was), as Google Maps shows no buildings. It's not clear that it was ever a place under that name. The single ref for that is the U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System. I suppose that's usually accurate, but nothing's 100% accurate. It's wrong when it says it's a "populated place", because it's not. If it's wrong about that, it could be wrong about the rest. And I think it is. (However, Google Maps does label the area as "Gallaway", so there's that.)

    However, Schooner Gulch is a place. It was in what is now Schooner Gulch State Beach. It was very close to the coordinates given for Gallaway, California -- practically coterminous. And there were people there. It says here that that the Galloway School was in Schooner Beach. This also says the Gallaway School was in Schooner Beach.

    Schooner Gulch was founded by John Gallaway (he also gave the land for the school), and my guess is that "Schooner Gulch" and "Galloway's Place" (--> "Galloway") were two names for the same thing. There just isn't enough there for us to say that "Galloway" was ever a place, and it's certainly not populated now. The material for Schooner Gulch and the school (there ain't much) could be put in the Schooner Gulch State Park article I guess, if anyone wants to. Herostratus ( talk) 05:32, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Galloway school district is in Lyman L. Palmer's History of Mendocino County on page 154. Carpenter's and Millbury's History of Mendocino and Lake Counties, California has the 1869 mill in Galloway Gulch, distinct from Schooner Gulch, on pages 42 and 43. Palmer also has the presence of the Nobles family from 1876. It appears to be the early 20th century geologists who introduced the Gallaway spelling, when they documented the Gallaway Formation, and at the same time spelled Schooner as Skooner, both spellings used by one C. E. Weaver in the 1940s and corrected by later geological reports (see Addicott "Age of the Skooner Gulch Formation" Geological Survey Bulletin, Issue 1254, footnote on spelling on page C2 for correction to Schooner, later 1980s reports correct Weaver's Gallaway). Schooner Gulch effectively took over the area, but before it was a state park the Galloway creek and the mudstone coastal Galloway formation was distinct from sandstone Schooner Gulch to geologists (c.f. Addicott, which has a map).

    Saving the best for last, though: There's a hidden gem in a Bureau of Labor Statistics 1887 report to the California State Legislature that has a 170 page county-by-county review of the places in California, which in the section on Mendocino lists Galloway under "Other towns" on page 222. So it was a town in the 19th century.

  • This discusses the Gallaway School, and states that the land was farmed after the school was closed. This gives the boundaries of the school district, and says that it had 46 students in 1880. This from 1914 mentions a mill. This lists it in other towns, and is presumably what Uncle G found. Found a bit about the school, quite a bit about the geological formation, a bit about the creek, and some stuff for a ranch near Cloverdale that's in the wrong county. On the whole, I'm leaning delete, unless significant coverage of this place as a town can be found. Right now, all we can write about this is Gallaway (also spelled Galloway) appears in an 1887 list of towns in Mendocino County. The Galloway School was active from 1870 to 1936, and was located on land donated by the Gallaways. After the school closed, the land was used as farmground. And I'm not convinced we can really build an article from that. Hog Farm Talk 16:16, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • I think that there is. I mean, here at web site for the park (published by the California Department of Parks and Recreation) we have:

      Historically, Schooner Gulch is within the territory of the coastal branch of the Central Pomo Indians which extends from the mouth of the Navarro River to the mouth of the Gualala River. This area was frequented by Russians and native Alaskan hunters as early as 1812, and by Mexican land owners in the 1840's. John Galloway was the first recorded occupant of the area. John was born in Scotland and occupied an area of Schooner Gulch between 1866 and 1868, which was largely used as a milling operation for timber. Logging continued at Schooner Gulch until the late 1800's, through various other milling operations. Another interesting part of the history of Schooner Gulch is the Galloway School. The school land was donated by John and Margaret Galloway. Galloway School operated for 62 years, from 1874 to 1936 with never more than 40 students. In 1940 the school lot was sold, and land around the lot was farmed by the Nobles family until 1986 at which time the land was sold to the State of California. Legend has it that Schooner Gulch got its name from a story in which a schooner was sited, one evening, stranded on the beach in the mouth of the gulch, yet in the morning showed no evidence of being there.

      Just right there is the basis for a small article, and then you've got those passages from the book and there's other stuff.

      My question is, what is the place called. Schooner/Skooner Gulch, or Galloway/Gallaway, or what? Are these two separate things, or just two different names for the same thing? (If the latter, I'm OK with flipping a coin and being like "Schooner Gulch, also called Galloway, was..." or vice versa.) BTW Schooner Gulch is also the name of the actual gulch there.

      Also, there is a populated area at the intersection of Schooner Gulch Road and Ten Mile Cut Off Road, which is about two miles inland, 38°53'03.1"N 123°36'46.5"W. I don't know what it is called, if anything. Galloway, for all I know. It looks like (not sure) that both that settlement and Schooner Gulch/Galloway are, administratively, inside the town of Point Arena (which the main town is about 2.5 up the coast). Mnmh from here:

      The map of the coast is thickly marked with names, but most of them relate to lumbering settlements that have vanished with the marketable timber of the immediate locality. Some of these tiny places bore odd names: for instance, during the morning I passed Rough and Ready, and Hard Scratch. Others, less striking but more attractive, were Anchor Bay, Signal Port, Fish Rock, and Schooner Gulch.

      Hmmmmm, well now here is a big long history of some Russian immigrants... it has

      ... They were bringing from Point Arena their big traction engines with which they expect to do their plowing, the weight of one engine being about eight tons. Arriving at Schooner Gulch, three miles out from Point Arena, the lead engine with the water truck crashed down the bridge and turned over in the stream. The engineer, with the fireman, jumped, but Nicholas Pogsikoff, who was walking between the engine and the water truck, was instantly killed. ...

      Schooner Gulch is about three miles away from Point Arena, to the south. But then in the same article we have

      "Tragedy first struck while the tractors were being driven down from Point Arena. The old bridge across Schooner Gulch collapsed while one of the 8-ton engines was crossing, killing the colony member walking alongside. They buried him on a bluff and surrounded his grave with a ring of white stones now gone, but The Sea Ranch has placed a marker near the location.

      Looks like the same incident. BUT, "placed a marker" has a link, and it goes to 38°44'37.0"N 123°30'53.7"W. Which is almost ten miles south of Schooner Gulch/Galloway. So that's odd. But then, the marker is smack dab in the middle of Sea Ranch, California who are fancy people and maybe they just wanted a cool marker there. 8 miles is "nearby" if you squint and are trying to look all historical and all, I guess. (I can see the marker on google street view but I can't read it.)

      Seems unlikely that there's be two different gulches name Schooner Gulch in the immediate area, but maybe. Or maybe the source is wrong or confused. There are some other sources out there I think but I'll stop for now.

      One thing is for sure: it's not a populated place now, so we're not required to have an article on it if we don't want. Herostratus ( talk) 20:06, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

This is an article that just never should have existed. I read it and still don't understand what the topic is. First, it starts talking about a person who play music like a dj, but isn't because he also plays video. So like I did, you're probably thinking its a VJ (remember when they used to have them on MTV)? But no, the article insists that they are not that either. Next the article takes a left-turn and goes into an in-depth discussion about some obscure device that Pioneer put out 15 years ago. (I guess it never caught on). The article uses made-up terms such as "DVJ discs"(Google it, there's no such thing), and "DVJ player"/"DVJ mixer". (other than the Pioneer device, that doesn't exist either) This article is pure WP:OR and WP:SYNTH Rusf10 ( talk) 03:29, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Prod declined without meaningful rationale. "This is a very niche hobby that sadly fails WP:GNG. The title of this article doesn't seem to appear anywhere outside Wikipedia. The article seems like pure WP:OR, and given the lack of references, nothing can be rescued by merging." I'll add that BEFORE failed at locating any source that mentions this term in scholar/books and even regular web search gives nextr to nothing useful. A related term "police patch collecting" is used on the web but also very rarely, and patch collecting is in terrible shape too so merge there won't help much (GIGO...). If there is any other term, shrug, I couldn't come up with it and nobody bothered to mention it in the article. Lastly, the talk page is interesting and suggests this page was created and warred over by a few collectors who had better things to do than sourcing this, stressing ORish nature of this super niche topic.

  • Keep. And don't PROD articles like this. That's for useless articles that probably nobody is going to support but don't meet CSD standards. If you think that no one is likely to support a large complete article on an activity that a lot of people do... you are way wrong.

    "Super niche topic" is no kind of rationale for anything. Half our articles are about stuff more obscure than this. Per Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, "Wikipedia... incorporates elements of general and specialized encyclopedias" and stuff like this is exactly what you'd find in specialized encyclopedias. Here is a book "Law Enforcement Memorabilia Price and Identification Guide" which is a specialized encyclopedia. And Encyclopedia of Federal Law Enforcement Patches so's this. There're others. Whether they have any general information about the hobby useful for the article I don't know, but most probably.

    Here's an article in the St Louis Post-Dispatch, "Police memorabilia collectors share badges, stories in St Charles". That uses the term right there, but if you don't like the article name, suggest a different one rather than deleting the article. Here is the Santa Maria Times with "Police memorabilia collector/s show nearly doubles in size". The Police Chief has "Each precinct will contain a trading area for those interested in adding special items to their police memorabilia collections" (can't read more), so apparently this is something supported by police departments.

    There's the basis for your article right there. But I mean, beyond that, it's abundantly clear that a lot of people are doing this -- there are scores of google results of commercial sites selling this stuff. You can assume that a fair number of people are going to be interested in it. It's getting eight views a day... mnmh that's actually pretty low, but still not nobody (I have seen worse). And it's a typical hobby like collecting other stuff, not something outside the pale of reasonable things for us to write about about. So I mean I would think the approach would be "Here's a notable worthwhile subject about something that lots of people do. Let's find a way to have an article on it.". We are here to have articles, not not have articles, within reason.

    There's a bunch of threads on the talk page, so editors are interested in the topic too. (Mnmh, and the talk page has "This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 27 August 2019 and 5 December 2019" so there's some snob appeal if we need it.)

    Yes the article has no sources, but I don't think the editors writing it were just making all that stuff up. So the sources for that must be somewhere. There's no reason to believe it's not true, so while ref'ing is important and necessary it's not super urgent. It'd be OK to tag for refs and come back in a few years and check it out. And anyway the sources I've given are enough to support an article anyway. Why are people wanting to throw away people's hard word that readers want. I don't get it.

    • N.B. Oh I noticed just now that nominator is User:Piotrus. Hi, User:Piotrus. So now I get what's going on here. I don't have stats on how often User:Piotrus PRODs good articles (although I have a pretty good idea), but editors' AfD stats are public: here are User:Piotrus's nomination states, and here are his "vote"ing stats.

No I can't. I'm wayyyy to busy for that and its not in my wheelhouse. Instead, we all count on the system to work. I didn't know there were PROD patrollers, but of course, and that's great (and seriously, thank you!), but isn't that kind of a backstop. The first line of defense would be people not PRODding articles that shouldn't be, and editors being engaged and educated if there's a pattern showing more enthusiasm than mastery in in that area.

  • :It's plausible the topic may be notable, given the titles of sources like American Police Collectibles or The Pocket Guide to Collecting Police Badges and Patches, but it would be good to check they are reliable (not self-published by some collectors). Other sources seem somewhat off-topic - Encyclopedia of Federal Law Enforcement Patches seems like it would support the notability of the topic of police patch etc., not of collecting them, unless it has an entry for the phenomena of collecting? Same for works on Sheriff's Insignia of the United States or Police Buttons. However, CommanderWaterford makes a critical point that this article is currently pure WP:OR from the early days of Wikipedia, and as such merits a WP:TNT treatment, unless someone feels like verifying the claims inside? - GizzyCatBella 🍁 12:06, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, easily. There are plenty of good sources, easily meets the WP:GNG. They're just not in the article. Here's a story by the local ABC channel, and here is one by the local CBS channel. Those're videos, which are a pain to transcribe but are acceptable. This URL doesn't work but can be dug up in the Wayback Machine probably, it's an article in The Skanner (a local weekly) about their opening day. Here is a short 2019 article in The Oregonian, Portand's main paper. And I can see there's more, altho I haven't checked if there're any more sources reliable and notable enough. But this alone is enough to ref and probably expand the article. It's just a matter of doing it. Can't do it if the article is deleted.
Also... the first of the Wikipedia:Five pillars is " Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia" which starts off "Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias..." and here's a book called "The Women's Football Encyclopedia: 2016 Edition" which is just that, a specialized encyclopedia. It's a "comprehensive history" so it most probably has some useful material on the Fillies. Herostratus ( talk) 08:22, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • The Google book search you posted brought up no results. The Skanner article was not archived. A Newspapers.com search brings up nothing. We have one general interest article on the team, two general interest local television news stories on the team, and one article we can't access of questionable utility, and some mere mentions from newspapers in other cities. That's not enough for a keep, you can't write a good encyclopaedic article with those sources alone, and you'd also expect a notable sports team to have significant coverage over time, especially if the team is an amateur one. SportingFlyer T· C 11:22, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
Enh? Here's the Amazon link for "The Women's Football Encyclopedia: 2016 Edition". Pretty sure the book exists. I don't know if it has any useful info on the Fillies, but based on the book description there I'd be surprised it it didn't.
OK, for the other, it depends on one's definition of "a good encyclopaedic article". People's personal opinion of that vary widely, and maybe you're stricter than me. We can agree to disagree, but the WP:GNG is something to look at. It's not a hard rule, but it's a good quick exercise in gauging if an article's worth it. So, GNG says you want "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject:". Sources means at least two, and we have that. CBS and ABC local TV stories and The Oregonian and so on are probably generally reliable for most stuff, we use stuff like that. They're also notable and independent, not some fanzine or whatever. As to "significant coverage", the GNG leaves that to us, only telling that a passing mention in part of a single sentence is not significant coverage, and an entire book is. There's an awfully broad range in between, so you've got to kind of take it as "you guys figure it out".
So, for my part, I've always taken "significant coverage" to mean "enough material from at least two articles (or equivalent) to make a decent article rather than just a stub", which "decent article" is like a couple good meaty paragraphs say. We have lots of articles that are only that long, and so it's a de facto standard I guess. So I guess I'm not an outlier. The article right now is only two sentences (not counting the tables), but it looks like there's enough there to expand it to ten sentences or so, which is plenty. But that can't happen if it's deleted.
And another way I like to look at it is just to ask: "For readers searching for this term, instead of taking them to this article we should send them to a 404, and that will enhance their experience because ___________. What goes in the blank?" Herostratus ( talk) 18:57, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • "Well, I wanted to learn about the Portland Fighting Fillies, but there's nothing there. Well but I found out something more useful. I learned that the Wikipedia doesn't consider them notable! I'm much happier now having learned that than anything I could have learned about them in an article." Herostratus ( talk) 04:24, 30 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • This is an article tagged with notability concerns for a decade for a team playing in an amateur league. I can't access one of the two sources you mentioned, but the KATU video has the team on the set, so it's less independent than you'd think. They're just an amateur sports club which has received only a very little secondary coverage. A redirect, possibly per Coolabahapple, wouldn't be improper here. SportingFlyer T· C 18:30, 2 May 2021 (UTC) reply
  • I mean... the overarching vibe I get here is basically "I've already decided I don't like this article, so why are you bothering me with facts?" Who cares what you personally can or can't access? I can. Who cares if you don't like that they are amateurs? I don't. So what if KATU brought the team on set? It is common to conduct interviews on set. It doesn't make the the interview worthless. Is KATU biased in favor of the team, because they're on set? What statements of fact in that source, specifically, do you question, because they were made on set?
As a general rule, when someone demonstrates -- As I did -- that an article meets the GNG, an appropriate response might be "Oh, in that case, I change my stance" rather than "So what? I still don't want people to be able to read this stuff." Herostratus ( talk) 18:16, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply
Because I don't think you've demonstrated that it meets GNG - the KATU looks like routine and non/independent coverage, and even assuming the benefit of the doubt on the other local news broadcast, they just haven't been discussed substantively in the media. My amateurism comment only reflects the difficulty around non-professional sports teams: my old amateur sports club would get mentioned in the paper with relative frequency, but an article on them would almost certainly get deleted on WP:NORG grounds, since none of it is really all that independent from the team. This article has a similar problem. SportingFlyer T· C 19:41, 4 May 2021 (UTC) reply
Oof. I did not realize that they had merged into the Portland Shockwave. That is different. There's no reason that the material of this article can't be merged into that one. Since there isn't much material now (there could be a bit more, but there isn't), a Redirect would be in order. A separate section in that article could be added if anyone wants. And the Portland Shockwave has tons of articles and stuff. So mea culpa for not getting this basic fact.
But just as a matter of interest, I literally don't understand what you are on about teams and news sources not being independent of each other. If the newspaper (or TV station) owns the team, or something like that, then that'd be a problem. But that's not the case here is it? Or you saying "local team, local paper, everybody's uncle knows somebody's cousin, they're too intertwined" or something? Or are you saying that local TV papers and stations aren't notable enough to be sources (that's way different from not being independent of each other isn't it)? Or actually what???

  • Hi,
    I have added more references to support the information given about the athlete. Most of the media articles are either in French or Arabic from Algerian media. I can add those to the references if they make sense. All statistics about Mohamed Ali Gouaned are from World Athletics's Official website, the official international athletic association that is maintaining all records and achievements by athletes worldwide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wansharissi ( talkcontribs) 13:16, 9 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    The athlete has won a silver medal at the Youth Olympics in 2018 and another silver medal at the African Youth Championships in 2019 both in 800 m. His main distances are 400 m and 800 m. He has so far the best time in 2021 on the 600 m for senior level [47] which is a big achievement for his age (he is only 18 years old). He is on the all-time best of the 800 meters for U18 athletes [48].
    The athlete has 3 more meetings in April 2021 and is expected to achieve the qualification time for the 800 meters in the Tokyo Olympics planned this Summer.

Non-notable auto-generated statistical area with zero in-depth coverage. Fails WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG. The name is also auto-generated and is not used by other sources.

  • Merge with Leamington Spa since the BUA has the same name as the town. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 17:01, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep This is a well-defined and official area and is the basis for statistics and analysis which we will want to report. It's not the same as Royal Leamington Spa as it includes the substantial county town of Warwick which has a strong and separate identity too. Andrew🐉( talk) 17:28, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • It may well be these things but it hasn't received in-depth coverage outside of the organization that created it, or indeed in-depth coverage at all. The Office for National Statistics creates all sorts of categorisations and constructs such as Self-employed tradespeople in multicultural metro suburbs, but we don't have to have an article on all the ones that fail WP:GNG. Being auto-generated by a government stats agency doesn't give something a WP:N pass.---- Pontificalibus 18:27, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • The point is that they do not have this joint identity. You are in fact making this point by arguing that their identities are "strong and separate". Uncle G ( talk) 18:51, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • They have both a separate and conjoint identity. This is quite normal with geography in which areas are nested and combined to form larger areas which all have their specific definitions and names. Consider, for example, that I am writing this in West Ealing which is part of the London Borough of Ealing which is part of West London which is part of Greater London which is part of the Greater London Built-up Area. And that's not all as there's London and Middlesex too. Now, notice that these are all blue links for separate pages. This is not a problem as we have a specific policy, WP:NOTPAPER, which tells that that we can take as many pages as we like to detail the complexity and confusion of the real world. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉( talk) 19:32, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
        • You again make the case that they do not, as all that you can point to is nesting, nothing to do with the concept at hand, rather than to anything documenting this machine-generated concept in use by anyone other than its creators, and then argue that because documented and widely used geographical concepts have articles, this one must too, despite a complete dearth of any geographers, cartographers, or anyone else other than its creators actually employing it and our Project:no original research policy. Uncle G ( talk) 20:58, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
          • The concept is neither new nor original. As noted below, The Conurbations of Great Britain identified this conurbation over 50 years ago. This latest analysis naturally records and reports its current extent using the latest technology and techniques. Insofar as it is highly expert, official and intended for long-term analysis, we should naturally include it. As the details are available under an open licence, it's a good fit with our project and philosophy. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉( talk) 22:36, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Merge with Warwick district - The name of this built-up area is auto-generated by the ONS and is misleading. Leamington Spa may be larger but the whole county is named for Warwick. The whole conurbation is governed by the Warwick district where the conurbation forms the bulk of the population. I think that would be a more appropriate place for a merger than Leamington Spa or Warwick. Eopsid ( talk) 18:41, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

      • Statistics for the main urban area of the district can be included in the district's article. Peter James ( talk) 12:55, 29 April 2021 (UTC) reply
  • I came across this from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography#New articles on built-up areas, which in turn I discovered from Alfreton/South Normanton Built-up area ( AfD discussion). I wondered for quite a while what to do. It seems that the U.K. has its very own version of the Wikipedia:Reliability of GNIS data problem: a bunch of articles created from a statistical database. There are a whole bunch of these "built-up area" articles. In fact that was why this was removed from Proposed Deletion by DGG.

    The U.K. problem is that no human, let alone an actual geographer, created these groupings. They were machine generated, as can be confirmed from the documentation that Pontificalibus posted in the other AFD discussion. There is no actual human expertise involved here. (The doco does make a "Hey look! The computer almost got it right." congratulatory note at one point. ☺)

    A further problem is that these things aren't used by anyone else. I wondered if, genuinely, geographers had classified these three places as a conurbation. We could at least rename and refactor, if that were true. So I went looking. The book on conurbations mentioned in the WikiProject does not state this. I couldn't find anything else. So I thought maybe "urban area", "urban district", or some such. I found exactly one off-hand mention of an "urban unit", in a 1972 report about air pollution ( ISBN  9780114101497). The "urban district" generated a lot of false positives for things like local "Urban District Council"s in documentation of local government reorganization in the 1960s

    I even found a professor of geography telling me that this was not the case that these were one unit:

    Other double towns are clearly distinct in primary functions and age of development. Many of these consist of young industrual or resort settlements that have grown up within a short distance of old market towns or ports. Variant types are exemplified by Higham Ferrers and Rushden, Warwick and Leamington Spa, […]

    — Arthur E. Smalles, The Geography of Towns ISBN  9780202366302, page 110

    That is in fact what Conurbations of Great Britain says (on page 257) too, with "ancient centre" and "residential town". These are two towns, often joined with "and" but not considered as one "built-up area". There is no Twin Cities or Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex here.

    This idea here apparently hasn't escaped the confines of the statistical analysis that it was solely invented for, in the ample 8 years that it has had to do so. No-one actually documents things this way. As such, our Project:no original research policy applies against novel ideas that have not gained traction outwith their creators. Delete.

    Uncle G ( talk) 18:51, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

    • Page 256 of that book, definitely calls Warwick and Leamington a conurbation. I don't see why you are denying it even exists as a conurbation or one built-up area. It clearly is one. There's no mistaking it. It's even mentioned as one urban area in this Guardian article about walking in the area [55]. And that section on double towns doesn't say they aren't a built-up area either. I don't think its notable enough for an article. But denying it even exists as a built-up area is absurd. Eopsid ( talk) 19:11, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • Trying to make the claim that denying that this concept is in use outwith its creators is the same as declaring the areas not built-up is a complete straw man. And I cannot find a claim of a Warwick conurbation on page 256. Warwick is on pages 254 and 257, as also listed in the index, where, as above, it is not described as part of a conurbation. Page 254 even tells us that it is "separated from" an actual West Midlands conurbation. What are you talking about? Uncle G ( talk) 20:58, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
    • And the full quote from that book contradicts what you are trying to say

      [...] such pairs have usually retained their administrative seperateness but whether like or unlike they inevitably count for several purposes as a single group. ISBN  9780202366302, page 110

      Eopsid ( talk) 19:17, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply
      • … except that they do not count as this group, and you have no evidence that they do, not least because you won't find anyone outwith its inventors even using this name, let alone this concept. You won't find a "Royal Leamington Spa built-up area". You won't find a concept of a Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa conurbation, either. Indeed, you won't find a two-towns-and-a-parish concept rather than double towns. Geographers simply haven't recognized it and documented it. I've pointed to a professor of geography who says outright that these are double towns, "clearly distinct" from each other, and "separated from" actual conurbations. Where's your geography expert saying otherwise? Because a lifestyle piece in a newspaper about walking trips is not anywhere near the same level of expertise, let alone expert explanation supporting this particular geographic concept.

        The sad thing is that, once again, Wikipedia got a bunch of generated-from-a-database articles promoting a concept that no-one other than its creators use instead of the actual (somewhat woolly, but even that is verifiable) geographic concept of double towns a.k.a town couples (or "Doppelstadt" in the German literature, I believe).

        Uncle G ( talk) 20:58, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

        • I dont see how a double town isn't a conurbation or a built-up area, they're not mutually exclusive concepts. That book extract makes no mention of them not being conurbations. Regarding the claim of Warwick and Leamington Spa being a conurbation in that other book, page 256 section Towns near the west midlands conurbation starts with "Three small conurbations and the town of Worcester", then goes on to list the conurbations (and Worcester) with a paragraph on each. A section of which is on Warwick and Leamington. Eopsid ( talk) 21:26, 19 April 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as there is no in-depth coverage about the area. WP:GEOLAND clearly stated that census tracts are not inherently notable. A WP:BEFORE turns up nothing, most of the results are about Royal Leamington Spa and not about this area.

  • This is not a census tract as those are small areas of about 1000 people, used as census "atoms". What we have here is not some arbitrary and tiny subdivision but a huge conurbation. It is a physical reality – like a lake or forest composed of a contiguous extent of buildings. It has been recognised in this way for over 50 years and it now has an official name.

Yes that’s right. The stress tends to shift to the final syllable of the word and the initial syllables often become a consonant cluster.
