Redirect to the section in the Peloton article. I am not seeing a
WP:NACTOR pass on an article in which most acting roles have names like "Latin Girl" or "Hot Woman". Things like "In 2020, Ruiz starred in The Rookie as Alyce Scanlin" seem to hold promise, but neither Ruiz nor Scanlin seem to be mentioned in the article for that show at all. Perhaps some time in the future, she will be an extremely famous actor and people will laugh at the AfD comment I'm writing here, but for now, I would recommend a merge. jp×g04:25, 18 August 2021 (UTC)reply

This was a 2012 no consensus, but in the intervening nine years there is no further evidence via BEFORE to support passage of WP:MUSIC or GNG. StarMississippi14:39, 29 July 2021 (UTC)reply
Comment - there are a couple of problems here: 1. The band might meet the requirements of
WP:GNG and given the sheer quantity of music they have produced (some under
A Different Drum) you would think there would be some coverage out there. The issue is that the name of the band makes searching for such sources almost impossible. Every search is jam-packed with references to churches and church groups, and adding words like "band" to the search parameters obviously doesn't do much to help that. 2. We still have the issue of
Quasihuman's assertion in the final days of the last AFD; that the band passes
WP:BAND because it meets specific criteria. I think we would need some well-thought-through analysis of why that isn't the case before we can dismiss it. St★lwart11100:29, 13 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Reply apologies for the delay @
Stalwart111:, I was offline for a few days. I did see Quasihuman's assertion, but without reliable sourcing, I'm not sure A Different Drum meets important indie label - it's not AfD worthy but there are some significant questions remaining that even with some search magic ala what Doomsdayer520 alluded to, I can't find the sourcing to establish notability. Unfortunately with a prior AfD I forsee this ending up as a no consensus, because so far there isn't one. August vacation time doesn't help either unfortunately.

No need to apologise; I'm in Australia and in lock-down at a loose end, so have more time to contribute. I appreciate your reply. I agree with your assessment of search results, and those of
doomsdayer520. And while I understand the point made in the last AfD, without
reliable sources to confirm that assertion, we don't really have a choice but to dismiss it. We certainly can't consider it in a way that supersedes basic requirements like
WP:GNG so it becomes a moot point. St★lwart11123:17, 15 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Delete - As noted above there is some difficulty in searching for this band, but that can be alleviated with some more strategy like <"Faith Assembly" + "Mark Stacy">. But via that strategy I still can find nothing on this band beyond its own social media and the usual streaming and directory sites. With a lot of releases you'd think they would have some reliable notice out there, but it doesn't seem to have happened. Also,
WP:NBAND requires multiple releases on important indie labels, which is open to interpretation but the band's lack of notice does does not sway that discussion in their favor either. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with
in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing
"Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails

I saw this on the AFD list, but there is not an AFD on the page itself, so resubmitting. The original nominator was found to be sockpuppet, but his comments are worth a look "The article only contains three reliable sources of a non-notable voice actor. There's also a rumor speculating that says he died in September 2019, unfortunately there isn't enough relatable sources out there to confirmed if he really passed away or not."

And I don't think the (original) nominator unilateral assertion of non-notable is helpful to include, as both that's what we're adjudicating here, and it's clearly not an open and shut case, given that there are articles for him on a variety of other language wikis.

Clearly a notable voice actor also at international level, as a rare case of a cartoon's dubber who invented his own's language (twice) and wasn't needed to be re-dubbed in any of the over 150 countries in which La Linea and Pingu were broadcast. His use of grammelot and his work method are also analyzed in The Routledge Companion to Commedia Dell'Arte (pp.157-158) which introduces him this way "anyone wishing to hear true grammelot in international action can do no better than listen to Pingu as voiced by Carlo Bonomi".

The concept may not be notable on its own, outside the article for
Christopher Hitchens himself, where it should be moved to. As the article states, this is a repetition of
Occam's razor. There are several books that use the words "Hitchens' Razor", but the concept is not different enough from other philosophical concepts to warrant its own page, and the very few sources that are not Hitchens himself merely mention that this is a thing that Hitchens likes to say and they do not establish notability. This simply does not meet the significant coverage guideline of
Wikipedia:Notability.

Keep. Disagree that this is a pure repetition of Occam's razor. Occam's razor does not, in any way, discuss the "burden of proof" in relation to who is arguing for a claim, that is purely Hitchens' invention, and why this razor is named after him. With a quick google search, I was able to find several other RSes (mostly scholarly) which mention/discuss this concept independent of the references in the article and even largely indpendent of Hitchens himself:
[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The Hindu, for example, discusses it in depth and helps establish
WP:GNG. All these other uses of it independent of Hitchens as a person demonstrate it has independent notability as a turn-of-phrase and philosophical argument.--

Strong merge to
Christopher Hitchens or some other suitable target. I'm not convinced it meets GNG unless there are sources that pre-date the Wikipedia article (2012). The recent usage linked to above looks like
WP:Citogenesis to me. Searching Google for "Hitchens's Razor" (or variations) prior to 2012 brings like almost no results and certainly none that are RS.
[10]. If you look at the first creation of the article
[11], the only reference supporting the existence of this is Hitchens's own 2007 book. These are tell-tale signs of citogenesis. We should fix this error before it gets worse.
Levivich17:22, 18 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Searching Google books yields plenty of popular sources mentioning the term "Hitchens's razor"
[12], but it's indeed telling that one of those sources cites Wikipedia, and that restricting the search to before November 2012 (when
our article was created) yields nothing
[13]. Now the adage itself does indeed occur in Hitchens 2007, but he never calls it a razor himself (he repeatedly refers to Occam's razor, but not with reference to his own adage). The term does not seem to occur in any pre-2012 source (I've also checked all the sources in the first version of our article), and this indeed looks like a very successful case of
citogenesis (
Nederlandse Leeuw should be able to tell us: is my impression correct that you chose "Hitchens' razor" as an appropriate title because Hitchens liked to refer to Occam's razor and because this seems to be a razor all of his own?). Unless either a pre-2012 source can be found, or significant coverage in post-2012 scholarly sources in relevant fields (e.g., philosophy, theology, discourse analysis, etc.), we should probably stop referring to the adage as "Hitchens's razor". But if the adage has no name of its own, it's probably better to merge and redirect to
Christopher Hitchens. If the term sticks despite that, and starts to pop up in the scholarly literature (for a citogenesis case like this, The Hindu won't do, and neither will an obscure paper on
Bipolar disorder), it can always be recreated in the future. ☿
Apaugasma (
talk☉)02:19, 19 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Hi Apaugasma. To answer your question: no, as far as I know, Hitchens never referred to this phrase as 'Hitchens' razor' (or 'Hitchens's razor'); in fact, he seems not to have invoked the term 'razor' at all, let alone to have referred to Ockham when using it (first in 2003, later in God Is Not Great in 2007). The term 'Hitchens's razor' seems to have been coined by his commentators in 2010, and that's what I based this article on. Note that there are several
philosophical razors besides Ockham's razor and Hitchens's razor, such as
Hanlon's razor and
Alder's razor. The fact that something is called a 'razor' and seems similar to Ockham's razor doesn't mean it's just the same thing under a different name; e.g. there is a clear difference between Ockham's razor and Hanlon's razor. Furthermore, when I translated this page to Dutch as Hitchens' scheermes, I got into a fierce discussion with a Dutch Wikipedian who said that Hitchens didn't invent this razor himself, but merely popularised the Latin scholastic axiom Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur that has been attested since at least the 19th century. Consequently, the Dutch version of this page is titled
nl:Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur. It's not clear
exactly what Latin phrase Ockham used for his razor, but it's very different from 'Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur', most notably because Ockham urges a person to be self-critical and not use more assumptions than necessary, while the latter urges person B to dismiss the baseless assumptions of person A.

Renaming the article may be an option to consider IMHO. The phrase you quote is
attested in GB in exactly the same form in a late 17th-century (printed in 1686) work of an Italian
Capuchin friar named
Giovenale d'Anagni. BTW, Augustine canon Gabriele Pennotto
wrote half a century earlier: Hoc enim gratis asseritur, et gratis negatur, loquendo de applicatione ad actus liberos ordinis naturalis. (I tried to google-translate it but failed, not clear for me if the sense is the same).
Ain92 (

13:37, 19 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Interesting. I am afraid that we are straying into original research territory here, we really need secondary sources to confirm this, but it looks like you are right. According to my best Classical Latin, Pennotto wrote 'Indeed, this can be freely asserted, and freely ignored/dismissed/denied, (when) speaking about the application [ablativus absolutus] of the order of nature [genetivus singular] to free actions [accusativus plural].' (In post-Classical Latin, liberos could also mean 'children', but it's not the relevant part of the sentence). The earliest reference the Dutch WikipedianI could find was in The Classical Journal, Vol. 40 (1829), p. 312, which is arguably a secondary source to explain what the phrase means and in which situations it is used, but a primary source to establish its earliest attested use in the 19th century. (PS: I'm surprised to see that I already referred to The Classical Journal 1829 when I first created this page in November 2012; I don't know how that happened, but I probably got it from the
entry at Wikiquote's Latin proverbs).
In any case, I am open also to renaming, but then we do need to establish a consensus here on what the title should be. I reached a consensus with that Dutch Wikipedian on Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur, and so I renamed it there, but English Wikipedia needs to figure out its own position. E.g. I see that you proposed Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat ('The burden of proof rests on who asserts, not on who denies') as another alternative. It has some merit, although I think it's better to link that principle with
Richard Dawkins' February 2002 quote (23:15): "The onus is on you to say why, the onus is not on the rest of us to say why not." Both quotes make the observation/claim that the asserter has the burden of proof, not the critic, while Hitchens's razor and Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur observes/claims that the critic can dismiss the assertion if the asserter does not meet the burden of proof. There is a slight difference between the two, and I would say that Ei incumbit/Dawkins 2002 is the first step and Hitchens's razor/Quod gratis is the second step in the same thought process.

Hey
Nederlandse Leeuw, thanks for coming here to comment! You seem to have misunderstood my query: what I wanted to know is whether you coined the term "Hitchens's razor" back in 2012 when you created the article, or whether it was already in use in the secondary literature, and if the latter, where? You mention commentators from 2010, but there's no 2010 source in the
article as you wrote it in 2012. It would be very helpful if you could locate that 2010 source for us, since that would establish that we're not dealing with a case of
wp:citogenesis here. If not, then that's perfectly okay too, but then we probably need to deal with it as citogenesis and stop using the term "Hitchens's razor" at all for a while. Since that would be a pity (the term actually is a good one to describe the adage), I'd much prefer if you could find the 2010 source you were drawing on back in 2012. Thanks, ☿
Apaugasma (
talk☉)15:23, 19 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Hi Apaugasma, ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. No, I didn't coin the term myself; it was already in circulation on the Internet by November 2012. At the time, I thought Hitchens first used the phrase 'What can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence' in his 20 October 2003 Slate article 'Mommie Dearest', but strangely it does not appear to be there in its
current form (and Slate claims this is 'Hitchens’ original essay'). In September 2014, when I translated the Wikipedia page to Dutch, I was challenged by that Dutch Wikipedian, and set out to find the actual coinage of the term as well as Hitchens's first use of the phrase. The oldest usage of the term can be found on a personal blog by Rixaeton on 1 December 2010, named
"Hitchens' Razor". (Interestingly, Rixaeton also claimed that 'This phrase is found in a Christopher Hitchens Slate article on Mother Teresa.' with an URL to the same 20 October 2003 Slate article 'Mommie Dearest'. For some strange reason, both Rixaeton in 2010 and I in 2012 believed the phrase could be found there, even though it's not there now). This and especially the follow-up post of 2 January 2012 named
"Correcting Hitchens' Razor to Hitchens's Razor" seem to strongly indicate that Rixaeton coined the term 'Hitchens' razor', and he also popularised the correction 'Hitchens's razor' with the extra s. Evolutionary biologist and atheist activist
Jerry Coyne also attributed the coinage to Rixaeton in this 25 December 2011 blog post
"Readers’ tributes to Hitchens: The final day, with music.", and argued that the term 'Hitchens’ Razor' should be popularised: 'And finally, reader Rixaeton coins a new phrase (introduced on his website), which I think we should all adopt and use. (...) I have conducted extensive research (ie: Googled for it) and have not found the phrase used anywhere as an official razor, but would it be nice if it came to be?'. The oldest usage of the phrase itself by Hitchens in writing that can still be verified today is in his 2007 book God Is Not Great, page 150; both you and Levivich have confirmed that. Cheers,

Wow, thanks for that; this is extremely helpful. I don't think that these two blogs would have met
WP:GNG at the time (they're either not authoritative or not independent enough), and I cannot help but feel that we inadvertently turned Coyne's wish for it to become an 'official razor' into reality. Should we correct that mistake by avoiding its use now? I tend to think we should at least try that for a while and see whether its use persists without us using the term. If we do decide to keep on using the term, however, I think we should also keep the article as is, and add to it the info on its coinage which you've just given us above. ☿

Amateur season with no indication of notability -
WP:GNG concern. Tagged as a notability concern in 2019 - creator removed this without addressing the issue. I've made an honest attempt to see if I could find at least some decent match reports from independent sources; for the game against Caguas I found
Soccerway and
BeSoccer and barely anything else. Very weak coverage. I then looked to see if the 2-2 draw with GPS had good coverage but found only 777score (blacklisted site) and
Soccerway, which didn't even contain squad lists let alone any worthwhile prose coverage. We do have results listings on
RSSSF but this is not
WP:SIGCOV either.

While I don't dispute that the concept may have been used by some scholars, it is not a notable concept in International Relations scholarship. The concept is so obscure that I'm not sure it's even used in any of the main articles for theories related to the concept.

Procedural nomination on behalf of an IP editor. Their rationale is
I do not think that the sources currently in this article demonstrate that the subject passes
WP:GNG, and a
WP:BEFORE search failed to turn up anything better. The sources currently in the article consist of a link to an apple 1 owners club website which seems to be partially written by the person who made the kit, The website of the company that makes the kit, the website of the assembly language programming environment that runs on the kit, and the store that currently sells the kit. I think that the best potential source in the article is the Computerworld piece currently listed as an external link, But I am unconvinced that a pictorial build guide is the kind of coverage we would be looking for when writing an article, and it's a dead link - the images are no longer available. A search turns up a few passing mentions in articles to the effect of "The original apple 1 is so expensive that people are making replicas now", but no substantial coverage.

Delete. Looking at the book in the "Further Reading" section, it does mention the "Replica I" throughout the book, in the context of using its circuit board to create a replica of the Apple I. The issue is that these mentions, while extensive, do not focus on the replica, but on the creation of a replica, which leaves me slightly conflicted as to whether this contributes to GNG or not. The rest of the sources, however, aren't useful, and a search turns up nothing - as such, I feel relatively safe !voting delete.

Keep: Per
WP:NCORP a company simply needs to have multiple
WP:RS sources that focus on it to qualify. It appears that it does, with articles in Vice, Atlanta Magazine, Quartz, Esquire, ABC6 News, Refinery29, and more. It does not matter what the company does or how big it is. It's about independent & reliable press coverage to meet company notability) the problem with the article is that most of these are not sourced, and that it is poorly written and focused on company features, it should be marked for improvement, not deletion in light of these articles:
Sorry but no. By NCORP requirements, each individual reference used to establish notability (as opposed to other references which are used to support facts/info within the article) must contain in-depth information on the company and also contain "Independent Content" as per
WP:ORGIND.
HighKing++ 17:19, 10 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations is
WP:NCORP and applies a stricter interpretation of requirements than for other topics. In short, WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with
in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing
"Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. All of the references mentioned by
CosmicNotes above fail as follows:
Vice reference is a description of an upcoming TV segment but it relies entirely on information provided by the company including an interview with the founder. There is no information provided that didn't originate from the topic company or founder. No Independent Content, fails
WP:ORGIND.
Atlanta magazine reference is based entirely on an interview with the founder, no Independent Content, fails ORGIND
QZ reference is written by an associate of the company (a "closer"), not Independent Content, fails ORGIND
Equire reference relies entirely on information provided by either the topic company or the CEO and even some people that used the service. There is no Independent Content, fails ORGIND
6abc reference is basically an ad which relies entirely on information provided by the company/CEO/etc. No Independent Content, fails ORGIND
Refinery29 reference contains almost no information about the company and relies entirely on info provided by the CEO. There is no Independent Content, fails CORPDEPTH and ORGIND.

The New Humanist in fact suggests the exact opposite we can dispatch a final brutal kicking by judicious selection of a few choice quotes. We would have an enormous number of BLPs on our hands if every author reviewed in publishers weekly merited an article.

That's exactly what I mean, and a review is significant coverage whether it's positive or negative. Per
WP:NBOOK#1, books are notable if they've been the subject of two or more reviews. This means several of her books are notable. We could create pages for each of the books, but since we already have pages for the authors I'm happy to just mention them there, instead. In my opinion, it's better to cover books on author pages rather than authors on book pages, as it avoids some BLP coatrack risks.

Weak delete. Obviously no pass of
WP:PROF for a high school teacher with single-digit citations. The case for
WP:AUTHOR is less clear-cut, with multiple reviews for what is essentially a single two-volume and two-author work (The Thinker's Guide to God / The Thinker's Guide to Evil) with a more-notable coauthor. If it were really two separate books, or had many more reviews, it might be enough for a weak keep from me, but as it is I think it falls a little short of the mark. The negativity of the reviews also makes it harder to argue that they are significant works. —

weakish delete; I have no idea why the last AfD closed with the conclusion it did, as the conclusion didn't reflect the comments that led to it. The article is a problem because it's basically a string of awards none of which are verified, a situation that cannot be allowed to continue indefinitely. Clearly Ananta Mandal is a successful professional artist of sufficient merit that the Times of India reports his exhibitions. But the requirements for notability are placed much higher than this: "The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." Although his works are good, they are not (yet) a significant monument; there is no statement that he's in the permanent collection of a notable gallery (let alone several), and I'm not sure the exhibitions in the India Times are major, significant ones (they look more like run-of-the-mill exhibitions). He's good, but he's not Monet. I think it's Too Soon.

Randy Kryn, I couldn't disagree more. Almost none of the factual claims are supported by credible source and there serious issues with failed verification. For example, 2017: Award from Northwest Watercolor Society is problematic, because it doesn't mention which award (the International Open Exhibition isn't really an award), there is no independent coverage.
https://www.nwws.org/portals/0/PDFs/MayJune2012HotPress.pdf says he won the $507 Winsor and Newton Excellence Award - $507 Value in 2012.
https://www.nwws.org/portals/0/PDFs/JulyAugust2017HotPress.pdf says he won the
H. Q. Johnson Award at the 2017 Annual International Open Exhibition. Those are not "notable awards". I would go so far as to say that they are very much NOT awards.

The article can be used as raw material to improve the barebones Wiktionary entry, as converting it into a redirect won’t lose the original text since it will be in the page history. The problem is that the article doesn’t belong on Wikipedia since the only information it provides is a definition, a usage history, what is basically a padded-out quotation example, and an unsourced section on the even more obscure derivative term “gigadeath”—- in other words, it’s basically just a dictionary definition, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

Delete - I'm honestly surprised that there isn't better sourcing for this, as it was reasonably popular when it was active (e.g. as a way to avoid 'hugging sites to death' or to bypass geo-restrictions). However, (popular or interesting) !== notable, and as Dirk says there do not appear to be any sources out there that establish notability.

Delete. President of a political party's youth wing is not an
WP:NPOL-passing role, and the sourcing consists primarily of glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things, with not nearly enough coverage about him to claim that he passes

Keep First delete in 2016 was five years ago, the second delete nomination from earlier this year was from indef blocked sockpuppet. Correct there is no presumed notability under NPOL, but are editors certain this is a
WP:BASIC failure: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability"? There's extensive non-trivial coverage of the subject in Marathi and Hindi since 2019 and he appears to be frequently interviewed.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
"Interviewed" isn't a notability criterion. The notability test is not passed on sources in which he's the speaker of content about other things, it's passed on sources in which he's the subject of content written or spoken by other people.

There's no claim that being interviewed is a criteria for notability, but it's perfectly reasonable to consider the *frequency* of interviews as contributing towards an assessment of notability. Regards,

He was in the squad of 17; but it appears India played only one match, in which he wasn't in the 11, and there were no substitutions.
WP:NOLY says "compete" which I take to mean that the player has to have actually played. I find it unlikely that he meets
WP:NFOOTY some other way. If he does, we need it demonstrated, as recent discussions indicate the community consensus is in favour of stricter scrutiny on one-source stubs, their basis for inclusion and the quality of such sourcing. Usedtobecool☎️03:09, 5 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Delete - there is past consensus that being a squad member only at a tournament is not sufficient, you have to actually play - and in the absence of any other sporting achievements or significant coverage, there is no evidence of notability.

Comment India played France in the 1948 Olympics and
this article states that "The midfield-forward duo of Anil and Sunil Nandy took the field for the Indian National team against France in the 1948 Olympic Games." This was the first football match independent India played. Just to clarify they were only on the bench as far I can see the article appears to state that took the field (on the bench) but did not play on the pitch.It is tough to find resources for 1948 players in a pre internet era and in a foreign language

@
Netherzone:, great research. Regarding "three collections", I think NARTIST refers to several notable galleries or museum collections, because that means the work has been assessed by art curators. I don't think the USDA collection, nor the botanical library collection qualify, as they are collection primarily based on botany criteria and not artistic criteria. Also I asked myself when assessing the sources whether work done for a federal employer counts; I think it probably does, given something like
Dorothea Lange's
FSA work. ---

Possibly, Hi - yes I thought of that (lack of gallery & museum collections) as well, which is why I haven't !voted yet. She obviously didn't do the sort of illustration work galleries or museums would be interested in. What did interest me was that the USDA collection holds an original work of art (not a print), the Carnegie Mellon collection holds a drawing, (not sure what the Johnson Collection holds) which made me think that these institutions understood the historical value of the artwork and not just the imagery.

Comment I also don't know how to interpret the 'notable galleries or museum collections' criterion. I assumed, when I first read it, that this meant galleries like the National Gallery in the UK, or major museums, but I've seen it claimed of conventional sales galleries for several modern commercial artists (and I suppose if your work sells widely and multiple commercial galleries want to sell it, that counts for something!). I think we have to take this in the broad sense of "another independent professional relevant to the field" evaluated the artist as meaningful and wanted to put it somewhere. Scientific illustrators of Roberta Cowing's time did not expect their work to go into galleries, so they can't be judged that way. We have to look at whether the body of her work was thought of in some way as exceptional and worthy of personal preservation/record, independent of being a mere scientific record. I have a lot of sympathy with the idea of keeping records of these illustrators. Their period, their choice of subject and venue all mean they're likely to be under-represented in secondary sources in relation to their relevance, which is difficult. Their work frequently is regarded as exceptional and worthy of preservation, but because it's usually stuck in the archives of some academic organisation that isn't sure what to do with it, but is able to preserve it safely, it often won't end up in a national collection. I strongly suspect that a lot of this stuff would be transferred to a national collection if it weren't being preserved in academia. It is part of our heritage, and people like Cowing certainly shouldn't be forgotten.

Keep The swaying information for me is that at least three reputable institutions, that we currently know of, hold her original art works. I don't believe that the fact that she produced these original and collectable artworks while "doing her job" should be a factor in the decision to delete or keep this article. I agree with
User:Elemimele scientific illustration at this time was unlikely to be put into commercial galleries for sale but her work has been judged worthy enough by professional curators in at least three separate institutions to be kept and preserved. Also at least two books mention her specifically and that she is mentioned "in the same breath" as the influential botanist
Mary Agnes Chase and the talented scientific illustrator
Deborah Griscom Passmore makes this article a most definite "keep" for me. As she undertook work for institutions and publications other than USDA, for example her scientific art was published in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club, I believe merely mentioning her in the

Comment - there are a couple of problems here: 1. The band might meet the requirements of

Every search is jam-packed with references to churches and church groups, and adding words like "band" to the search parameters obviously doesn't do much to help that. 2. We still have the issue of
Quasihuman's assertion in the final days of the last AFD; that the band passes
WP:BAND because it meets specific criteria. I think we would need some well-thought-through analysis of why that isn't the case before we can dismiss it. St★lwart11100:29, 13 August 2021 (UTC)reply

With a lot of releases you'd think they would have some reliable notice out there, but it doesn't seem to have happened. Also,

Oppose News citations alone show that this article is notable. Additionally, this law is eponymous, and notable due to its backstory and notoriety among Illinoisans; the words "Scott's Law" are printed on highway signage. While there are similar laws, referenced in the article and visible at
move-over law, this law is specific in its scope and application. This law cannot be easily lumped together with other laws, nationally or internationally, that cover similar material.

The list of transclusions seems to be instances of special or pioneering or otherwise distinctive legilation, not one which is essential the same as in every state, except for having a special name and a slightly wider scope. DGG (

"Pioneering" and "distinctive" are fairly vague words. As far as I can tell, other items on this transclusion list are similar in style to Scott's Law; eponymous pieces of legislation that bear similarity to extant law passed after a tragedy. For example, the first item on the list,
Shannon's law (Arizona) is essentially a law prohibiting the reckless discharge of a firearm. Such laws exist across the country, but lack the eponym and the story.

The concept may not be notable on its own, outside the article for
Christopher Hitchens himself, where it should be moved to. As the article states, this is a repetition of
Occam's razor. There are several books that use the words "Hitchens' Razor", but the concept is not different enough from other philosophical concepts to warrant its own page, and the very few sources that are not Hitchens himself merely mention that this is a thing that Hitchens likes to say and they do not establish notability. This simply does not meet the significant coverage guideline of
Wikipedia:Notability.

Keep. Disagree that this is a pure repetition of Occam's razor. Occam's razor does not, in any way, discuss the "burden of proof" in relation to who is arguing for a claim, that is purely Hitchens' invention, and why this razor is named after him. With a quick google search, I was able to find several other RSes (mostly scholarly) which mention/discuss this concept independent of the references in the article and even largely indpendent of Hitchens himself:
[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The Hindu, for example, discusses it in depth and helps establish
WP:GNG. All these other uses of it independent of Hitchens as a person demonstrate it has independent notability as a turn-of-phrase and philosophical argument.--

It's not Hitchens' invention, but like a lot of things, somebody popularized an ancient concept and it got named after themselves. Hitchens really doesn't deserve to even be mentioned in this article, but there's not much Wikipedia can really do about that, I don't think.

Strong merge to
Christopher Hitchens or some other suitable target. I'm not convinced it meets GNG unless there are sources that pre-date the Wikipedia article (2012). The recent usage linked to above looks like
WP:Citogenesis to me. Searching Google for "Hitchens's Razor" (or variations) prior to 2012 brings like almost no results and certainly none that are RS.
[10]. If you look at the first creation of the article
[11], the only reference supporting the existence of this is Hitchens's own 2007 book. These are tell-tale signs of citogenesis. We should fix this error before it gets worse.
Levivich17:22, 18 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Searching Google books yields plenty of popular sources mentioning the term "Hitchens's razor"
[12], but it's indeed telling that one of those sources cites Wikipedia, and that restricting the search to before November 2012 (when
our article was created) yields nothing
[13]. Now the adage itself does indeed occur in Hitchens 2007, but he never calls it a razor himself (he repeatedly refers to Occam's razor, but not with reference to his own adage). The term does not seem to occur in any pre-2012 source (I've also checked all the sources in the first version of our article), and this indeed looks like a very successful case of
citogenesis (
Nederlandse Leeuw should be able to tell us: is my impression correct that you chose "Hitchens' razor" as an appropriate title because Hitchens liked to refer to Occam's razor and because this seems to be a razor all of his own?). Unless either a pre-2012 source can be found, or significant coverage in post-2012 scholarly sources in relevant fields (e.g., philosophy, theology, discourse analysis, etc.), we should probably stop referring to the adage as "Hitchens's razor". But if the adage has no name of its own, it's probably better to merge and redirect to
Christopher Hitchens. If the term sticks despite that, and starts to pop up in the scholarly literature (for a citogenesis case like this, The Hindu won't do, and neither will an obscure paper on
Bipolar disorder), it can always be recreated in the future. ☿
Apaugasma (
talk☉)02:19, 19 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Hi Apaugasma. To answer your question: no, as far as I know, Hitchens never referred to this phrase as 'Hitchens' razor' (or 'Hitchens's razor'); in fact, he seems not to have invoked the term 'razor' at all, let alone to have referred to Ockham when using it (first in 2003, later in God Is Not Great in 2007). The term 'Hitchens's razor' seems to have been coined by his commentators in 2010, and that's what I based this article on. Note that there are several
philosophical razors besides Ockham's razor and Hitchens's razor, such as
Hanlon's razor and
Alder's razor. The fact that something is called a 'razor' and seems similar to Ockham's razor doesn't mean it's just the same thing under a different name; e.g. there is a clear difference between Ockham's razor and Hanlon's razor. Furthermore, when I translated this page to Dutch as Hitchens' scheermes, I got into a fierce discussion with a Dutch Wikipedian who said that Hitchens didn't invent this razor himself, but merely popularised the Latin scholastic axiom Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur that has been attested since at least the 19th century. Consequently, the Dutch version of this page is titled
nl:Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur. It's not clear
exactly what Latin phrase Ockham used for his razor, but it's very different from 'Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur', most notably because Ockham urges a person to be self-critical and not use more assumptions than necessary, while the latter urges person B to dismiss the baseless assumptions of person A.

Renaming the article may be an option to consider IMHO. The phrase you quote is
attested in GB in exactly the same form in a late 17th-century (printed in 1686) work of an Italian
Capuchin friar named
Giovenale d'Anagni. BTW, Augustine canon Gabriele Pennotto
wrote half a century earlier: Hoc enim gratis asseritur, et gratis negatur, loquendo de applicatione ad actus liberos ordinis naturalis. (I tried to google-translate it but failed, not clear for me if the sense is the same).
Ain92 (

13:37, 19 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Interesting. I am afraid that we are straying into original research territory here, we really need secondary sources to confirm this, but it looks like you are right. According to my best Classical Latin, Pennotto wrote 'Indeed, this can be freely asserted, and freely ignored/dismissed/denied, (when) speaking about the application [ablativus absolutus] of the order of nature [genetivus singular] to free actions [accusativus plural].' (In post-Classical Latin, liberos could also mean 'children', but it's not the relevant part of the sentence). The earliest reference the Dutch WikipedianI could find was in The Classical Journal, Vol. 40 (1829), p. 312, which is arguably a secondary source to explain what the phrase means and in which situations it is used, but a primary source to establish its earliest attested use in the 19th century. (PS: I'm surprised to see that I already referred to The Classical Journal 1829 when I first created this page in November 2012; I don't know how that happened, but I probably got it from the
entry at Wikiquote's Latin proverbs).
In any case, I am open also to renaming, but then we do need to establish a consensus here on what the title should be. I reached a consensus with that Dutch Wikipedian on Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur, and so I renamed it there, but English Wikipedia needs to figure out its own position. E.g. I see that you proposed Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat ('The burden of proof rests on who asserts, not on who denies') as another alternative. It has some merit, although I think it's better to link that principle with
Richard Dawkins' February 2002 quote (23:15): "The onus is on you to say why, the onus is not on the rest of us to say why not." Both quotes make the observation/claim that the asserter has the burden of proof, not the critic, while Hitchens's razor and Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur observes/claims that the critic can dismiss the assertion if the asserter does not meet the burden of proof. There is a slight difference between the two, and I would say that Ei incumbit/Dawkins 2002 is the first step and Hitchens's razor/Quod gratis is the second step in the same thought process.

Hey
Nederlandse Leeuw, thanks for coming here to comment! You seem to have misunderstood my query: what I wanted to know is whether you coined the term "Hitchens's razor" back in 2012 when you created the article, or whether it was already in use in the secondary literature, and if the latter, where? You mention commentators from 2010, but there's no 2010 source in the
article as you wrote it in 2012. It would be very helpful if you could locate that 2010 source for us, since that would establish that we're not dealing with a case of
wp:citogenesis here. If not, then that's perfectly okay too, but then we probably need to deal with it as citogenesis and stop using the term "Hitchens's razor" at all for a while. Since that would be a pity (the term actually is a good one to describe the adage), I'd much prefer if you could find the 2010 source you were drawing on back in 2012. Thanks, ☿
Apaugasma (
talk☉)15:23, 19 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Hi Apaugasma, ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. No, I didn't coin the term myself; it was already in circulation on the Internet by November 2012. At the time, I thought Hitchens first used the phrase 'What can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence' in his 20 October 2003 Slate article 'Mommie Dearest', but strangely it does not appear to be there in its
current form (and Slate claims this is 'Hitchens’ original essay'). In September 2014, when I translated the Wikipedia page to Dutch, I was challenged by that Dutch Wikipedian, and set out to find the actual coinage of the term as well as Hitchens's first use of the phrase. The oldest usage of the term can be found on a personal blog by Rixaeton on 1 December 2010, named
"Hitchens' Razor". (Interestingly, Rixaeton also claimed that 'This phrase is found in a Christopher Hitchens Slate article on Mother Teresa.' with an URL to the same 20 October 2003 Slate article 'Mommie Dearest'. For some strange reason, both Rixaeton in 2010 and I in 2012 believed the phrase could be found there, even though it's not there now). This and especially the follow-up post of 2 January 2012 named
"Correcting Hitchens' Razor to Hitchens's Razor" seem to strongly indicate that Rixaeton coined the term 'Hitchens' razor', and he also popularised the correction 'Hitchens's razor' with the extra s. Evolutionary biologist and atheist activist
Jerry Coyne also attributed the coinage to Rixaeton in this 25 December 2011 blog post
"Readers’ tributes to Hitchens: The final day, with music.", and argued that the term 'Hitchens’ Razor' should be popularised: 'And finally, reader Rixaeton coins a new phrase (introduced on his website), which I think we should all adopt and use. (...) I have conducted extensive research (ie: Googled for it) and have not found the phrase used anywhere as an official razor, but would it be nice if it came to be?'. The oldest usage of the phrase itself by Hitchens in writing that can still be verified today is in his 2007 book God Is Not Great, page 150; both you and Levivich have confirmed that. Cheers,

Wow, thanks for that; this is extremely helpful. I don't think that these two blogs would have met
WP:GNG at the time (they're either not authoritative or not independent enough), and I cannot help but feel that we inadvertently turned Coyne's wish for it to become an 'official razor' into reality. Should we correct that mistake by avoiding its use now? I tend to think we should at least try that for a while and see whether its use persists without us using the term. If we do decide to keep on using the term, however, I think we should also keep the article as is, and add to it the info on its coinage which you've just given us above. ☿

Procedural nomination on behalf of an IP editor. Their rationale is
I do not think that the sources currently in this article demonstrate that the subject passes
WP:GNG, and a
WP:BEFORE search failed to turn up anything better. The sources currently in the article consist of a link to an apple 1 owners club website which seems to be partially written by the person who made the kit, The website of the company that makes the kit, the website of the assembly language programming environment that runs on the kit, and the store that currently sells the kit. I think that the best potential source in the article is the Computerworld piece currently listed as an external link, But I am unconvinced that a pictorial build guide is the kind of coverage we would be looking for when writing an article, and it's a dead link - the images are no longer available. A search turns up a few passing mentions in articles to the effect of "The original apple 1 is so expensive that people are making replicas now", but no substantial coverage.

The issue is that these mentions, while extensive, do not focus on the replica, but on the creation of a replica, which leaves me slightly conflicted as to whether this contributes to GNG or not. The rest of the sources, however, aren't useful, and a search turns up nothing - as such, I feel relatively safe !voting delete.

Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations is
WP:NCORP and applies a stricter interpretation of requirements than for other topics. In short, WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with
in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing
"Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria.

That's exactly what I mean, and a review is significant coverage whether it's positive or negative. Per
WP:NBOOK#1, books are notable if they've been the subject of two or more reviews. This means several of her books are notable. We could create pages for each of the books, but since we already have pages for the authors I'm happy to just mention them there, instead. In my opinion, it's better to cover books on author pages rather than authors on book pages, as it avoids some BLP coatrack risks.

Weak delete. Obviously no pass of

WP:AUTHOR is less clear-cut, with multiple reviews for what is essentially a single two-volume and two-author work (The Thinker's Guide to God / The Thinker's Guide to Evil) with a more-notable coauthor. If it were really two separate books, or had many more reviews, it might be enough for a weak keep from me, but as it is I think it falls a little short of the mark. The negativity of the reviews also makes it harder to argue that they are significant works. —

weakish delete; I have no idea why the last AfD closed with the conclusion it did, as the conclusion didn't reflect the comments that led to it. The article is a problem because it's basically a string of awards none of which are verified, a situation that cannot be allowed to continue indefinitely. Clearly Ananta Mandal is a successful professional artist of sufficient merit that the Times of India reports his exhibitions. But the requirements for notability are placed much higher than this: "The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." Although his works are good, they are not (yet) a significant monument; there is no statement that he's in the permanent collection of a notable gallery (let alone several), and I'm not sure the exhibitions in the India Times are major, significant ones (they look more like run-of-the-mill exhibitions). He's good, but he's not Monet. I think it's Too Soon.

Randy Kryn, I couldn't disagree more. Almost none of the factual claims are supported by credible source and there serious issues with failed verification. For example, 2017: Award from Northwest Watercolor Society is problematic, because it doesn't mention which award (the International Open Exhibition isn't really an award), there is no independent coverage.
https://www.nwws.org/portals/0/PDFs/MayJune2012HotPress.pdf says he won the $507 Winsor and Newton Excellence Award - $507 Value in 2012.
https://www.nwws.org/portals/0/PDFs/JulyAugust2017HotPress.pdf says he won the
H. Q. Johnson Award at the 2017 Annual International Open Exhibition. Those are not "notable awards". I would go so far as to say that they are very much NOT awards. These are competitions, where entrants must pay a fee to enter. The work is then offered for sale, and the organizer, like the NWWS receives a percentage of the sale price.

WP:BASIC failure: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability"? There's extensive non-trivial coverage of the subject in Marathi and Hindi since 2019 and he appears to be frequently interviewed.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Redirect to
Common Lisp - significant coverage in reliable, independent sources does not appear to exist, and as such I very much doubt that this implementation is independently notable.

Redirect, and incorporate content into
Common Lisp. While I can't find any real sources talking about significant uses of this implementation, it certainly existed, and we have at least enough sourcing to verify this fact. It's not enough for a standalone article, but the content should be kept somewhere. jp×g01:13, 18 August 2021 (UTC)reply

Deprodded without rationale or improvement - Currently sourced by a primary reference, an unreliable source, and two trivial mentions. Searches did not turn up enough to show they pass

Delete there is not much out there in terms of sourcing. The best thing I found sums up the fact that she was one of many: "Roberta Cowing , Agnes Merrill Chase , and Deborah G. Passmore were just several of the hundreds of trained women employed as botanical illustrators for The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Herbarium.", in American Garden Clubs and the Fight for Nature Preservation, 1890-1980, by Shana Miriam Cohen, 2005. ---

I'm wondering if the fact those three women were called out specifically, though, indicates that they weren't simply one of hundreds. Perhaps they're named because they were the standouts. That's two books that specifically mention her, which would be unusual for someone who was simply doing her job. I've ordered the Cohen and the Norwood books from the library, will circle back when I get them.

Ai, jeez, and she's also often listed under her married name, including
this mention which lists her incorrectly as Roberta Cowing Thrush, apparently an error made early and used throughout. This is always the problem with women. Their work is often listed at least two ways, often three (first maiden married) or four (first middle last). Introduce an error, too, and now you've got a real mess. But at any rate that's a third book that discusses her work.

I will also try searching using variants like Mrs. Ernest Throckmorton or Mrs. Ernest U. Throckmorton, or just plain Mrs. Throckmorton.

Keep - Comment - Here's what I'm finding on this illustrator who worked in the specific niche of agricultural illustration: collection of the USDA
[21]; collection of Carnegie Melon Botanical Library
[22],
[23]; the Johnson Collection
[24],
[25]; this book - Made From This Earth: American Women and Nature
[26],
[27] there are eight hits in this book (but snippet view is only letting me see three of these); Illustrations in various US dept. of agriculture government publications
[28],
[29],
[30],
[31] leads me to believe she was a known illustrator of her time. Whether there has been enough written on her to pass the notability bar, I'm not sure, however the three collections may be a enough to pass. I haven't yet tried to search under her married name, Roberta Cowing Throckmorton or Roberta Throckmorton. Perhaps other editors can find more.

I have changed my comment above to a K**P !vote, based on what was already found, and what other editors have added. Thank you everyone for your research, I will add the new content to the article (but not today). I now firmly believe she meets criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia.

@
Netherzone:, great research. Regarding "three collections", I think NARTIST refers to several notable galleries or museum collections, because that means the work has been assessed by art curators. I don't think the USDA collection, nor the botanical library collection qualify, as they are collection primarily based on botany criteria and not artistic criteria. Also I asked myself when assessing the sources whether work done for a federal employer counts; I think it probably does, given something like
Dorothea Lange's
FSA work. ---
Possibly☎03:24, 12 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Possibly, Hi - yes I thought of that (lack of gallery & museum collections) as well, which is why I haven't !voted yet. She obviously didn't do the sort of illustration work galleries or museums would be interested in. What did interest me was that the USDA collection holds an original work of art (not a print), the Carnegie Mellon collection holds a drawing, (not sure what the Johnson Collection holds) which made me think that these institutions understood the historical value of the artwork and not just the imagery.

Comment I also don't know how to interpret the 'notable galleries or museum collections' criterion. I assumed, when I first read it, that this meant galleries like the National Gallery in the UK, or major museums, but I've seen it claimed of conventional sales galleries for several modern commercial artists (and I suppose if your work sells widely and multiple commercial galleries want to sell it, that counts for something!). I think we have to take this in the broad sense of "another independent professional relevant to the field" evaluated the artist as meaningful and wanted to put it somewhere. Scientific illustrators of Roberta Cowing's time did not expect their work to go into galleries, so they can't be judged that way. We have to look at whether the body of her work was thought of in some way as exceptional and worthy of personal preservation/record, independent of being a mere scientific record. I have a lot of sympathy with the idea of keeping records of these illustrators. Their period, their choice of subject and venue all mean they're likely to be under-represented in secondary sources in relation to their relevance, which is difficult. Their work frequently is regarded as exceptional and worthy of preservation, but because it's usually stuck in the archives of some academic organisation that isn't sure what to do with it, but is able to preserve it safely, it often won't end up in a national collection. I strongly suspect that a lot of this stuff would be transferred to a national collection if it weren't being preserved in academia. It is part of our heritage, and people like Cowing certainly shouldn't be forgotten.

Comment - Just FYI, the "Johnson Collection" isn't an artistic collection, it's an index, and apparently does not hold any artwork. It simply is a catalogue of names and some essential details.

Delete this article, but ensure that she and her colleagues' names are included appropriately in
Pomological Watercolor Collection. The problem is that people aren't notable just for doing their job, and that's all that this article claims. If clear evidence that she had done something notable, above and beyond this daily work, could be provided the situation would be different, but contributing to a collection of pictures that you were hired to paint isn't enough on its own.

Keep per Netherzone. There is a misconception that the many illustrators Possibly mentions were all a faceless mass of workers, there were a number of the illustrators that have been repeatedly highlighted due to the quality and quantity of their work, including Cowing.

Keep per Gameliel and Netherzone -- early 20th century artists of note in Natural History are often well known in the field, but may not have a lot of easily discoverable sources on the web -- the current art history sources support her notability,

Keep The swaying information for me is that at least three reputable institutions, that we currently know of, hold her original art works. I don't believe that the fact that she produced these original and collectable artworks while "doing her job" should be a factor in the decision to delete or keep this article. I agree with
User:Elemimele scientific illustration at this time was unlikely to be put into commercial galleries for sale but her work has been judged worthy enough by professional curators in at least three separate institutions to be kept and preserved. Also at least two books mention her specifically and that she is mentioned "in the same breath" as the influential botanist
Mary Agnes Chase and the talented scientific illustrator
Deborah Griscom Passmore makes this article a most definite "keep" for me. As she undertook work for institutions and publications other than USDA, for example her scientific art was published in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club, I believe merely mentioning her in the
Pomological Watercolor Collection is too restrictive. -

Keep per Ambrosia10 and others. A scientific illustrator makes an odd fit for NARTIST, but her work has been collected and catalogued by institutions most likely to be able to judge its worth.
