The result was keep. A large percentage of the keep comments here have no grounding in policy; what matters is whether there are
reliable sources providing
significant coverage of the programming language, not how many pageviews the article receives, whether
you like it, or whether it is merely
related to notable things. Even with these arguments discounted, there is consensus that sufficient sourcing exists to establish the notability of the subject. Many sources are recent, challenging the nominator's claim that the language has faded into obscurity, and making the previous discussions in 2015 and earlier less applicable. Of course, there is also consensus that the article needs substantial trimming and improved sourcing, and that it should not be linked inappropriately from other articles, but neither of these are
reasons for deletion. —

Yet another open source computer language that never quite achieved notability despite the developer's attempts to promote it.
Most of the citations are to nim-lang.org or the Nim github page.
15 page views in the last 30 days (including mine).
A few sources that pretty much cover everything new covered this when it was new. The developers also managed to get invited to make presentations at some conferences.
And now some of the fans are spamming it into the "see also" of all the other computer languages. See
[8]. Example:
Rust (programming language)#See also -- it is the only language listed even though Rust has nothing to do with Nim and everything to do with C++
Bottom line: it looked promising when it was shiny and new but never quite took off and became notable.

Comment: Well I didn't expect to see this here when I went looking at AfD for the first time in a few weeks... I've heard quite a bit about this language through word-of-mouth, so I'm inclined to say weak keep, but I think a lot of those arguments have a good amount of merit. I will say that at first glance it looks like the article could be trimmed considerably, as several sections seem irrelevant for a programming language this "small". It makes sense to me that that could be an attempt by fans to improve its appearance by giving it a visually (as in length and syntax highlighting) developed article on Wikipedia. I'll have to do some reading and research, but I'm fairly confident discussion is warranted—I wouldn't be surprised if I end up going towards delete, here.

After searching a bit I found

WP:RSP as reliable, and the others have Wikipedia articles - so not just niche sources (i.e. probably reliable). While the amount of coverage isn't great, this is a relatively new programming language that has gotten some usage, so I support keeping the article. However, it could certainly be trimmed a bit.

The subject does not meet GNG, BASIC, ANYBIO, or NSOLDIER. Sources in the article are not SIGCOV, addressing the subject directly and indepth. The The Scramble in the Horn of Africa simply states, "Rumours of the desertions of Nur Hedik (leader of the Dervish horse) and his following are still current." (no other mentions in book). The Times source only states they were shot (6 words total). The final source is quoted in the article, so it is obvious this is a mention, not SIGCOV. BEFORE showed nothing.

Comment, Hedik was commander overall of cavalry, since commanders of subsections had other names such as Casardega, Isumara, Xamarka, Baroorka, Dooxato or Lufato. One such commander of a subsection of cavalry was a guy named Mursal Saacid. As you can see, I haven't created a page on Mursal because Mursal isn't as notable as the overall commander of Dervish cavalry whom happened to be Hedik. As for the time period, he was commander from Dervish begginnings to his death.

Nowhere is Nur Hedik referred to as commander of Casardega, Isumara, Xamarka, Baroorka, Dooxato or Lufato. Rther each sources discussing him directly links him to the entire Dervish organization. Furthermore, in the multiple chapters of intelligence reports, no other person has the term leader of cavalry, or horse etc. attached to them, only Nur Hedik.

If this was about Dervish cavalry, then the composition such as Casardega, Isumara, Xamarka, Baroorka, Dooxato or Lufato would have been included. Also, other cavalry raids which are known for Hedik not being involved such as Bebera raid in 1914 and Burao raid in the same year would have been included. However I have opted not to include these raids as it had nothing to do with Hedik.

Keep contrary to Timothy's assertions of no other mentions, other mentions do exist, albeit with different spellings. Furthermore, it was a common policy to avoid directly naming leaders of Dervish adversaries, see for instnce "six leaders of the enemy's force were killed" albeit nameless (
source), as such, when Nur Hedik gets named despite this British censorship, it is indicative of significance. Furthermore, its clear that Hedik was overall commander of Dervish horse, since he wasn't named by any of the sub battalions named above, and the sources are from independent mutually exclusive dates and authors. When you couple this with the fact that no other sources describes an overall cavalry commander, then its safe to say that Nur Hedik was overall commander of the Dervish cavalry. Instances when sub-battalions of Dervish cavalry were in action I have explicitly excluded from this page.
Heesxiisoleh (

We can handle alternate spellings in sources but WP:Verifiability means if he's not mentioned by name then it's OR or synth to interpret mentions of the Dervish horsemen as being mentions of him. We need named mentions. And we need content because
WP:MERGEREASON applies "Short text: If a page is very short and is unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time, it often makes sense to merge it with a page on a broader topic" - and then this article will just be a redirect to Dervish or

Guinness323, Thank you for your finds. My concerns are: 1) what makes
reich-der-spiele reliable? The site does call itself an 'online magazine', but it is at the very least niche (it does not have an entry on de wiki). I'd say they are reliable for facts, but does being reviewed in such a niche website help establish notability? I'd actually lean to say yes (treating at as a type of online trade journal with non-anonymous authors and AGFing they have some form of internal reviews - but frankly, they don't say they have them, and maybe they just publish anything their team plays without any internal control, who's to know? I do wonder what
WP:RSN would say...) but 2)
[17] doesn't even have 'about us' section I can see. It also calls itself online magazine, but here, we don't know who writes it. I'd say this source should not be considered for reliability. 3)
[18] this looks very bad. The site used to have a domain at www.spielphase.de but it just redirects to
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/keirat/ now and it looks like someone's personal homepage/blog (authors are Claudia Schlee & Andreas Keirat, and note /keirat'). There is no about. So again, thanks for finding, but while I may be convinced we found one plausibly (but not clearly) reliable review, the other twos are IMHO not reliable (self-published), and GNG does require 2+ good sources... Ps. I don't think there is such an entity as 'virtual game museum Ludomu', it seems like a list on a subpage of the reich-der-spiele magazine. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

weak Keep sources in the article are certainly independent. If the publishers have editorial control is a lot less clear. But I don't see any reason to think the reviews are wrong or the things published have any issues with reliability.

Keep - the article clearly needs improvement, and to take out all of the Cricket Archive links. However, the article also clearly passes
WP:CRIN by virtue of Naved having played in three List A matches. As usual for cricketers,
WP:GNG is not the relevant standard.

Delete. No
WP:SIGCOV, only wide-ranging databases consisting mostly of scorecards, so also fails
WP:SPORTCRIT. The lack of sources, means we have prose synthesised from scorecards and mostly merely listing statistical detail. NCRIC is notoriously bad as presuming notability for cricketers such as these, with very few domestic T20 appearances and a solitary LA appearance (incidentally this one was in division 2 – and as such, not the "highest level"), and community consensus has shown that more is required than a trivial pass of SNG such as this. wjematherplease leave a message... 13:31, 5 March 2021 (UTC)reply

Delete. No significant coverage so fails
WP:GNG and
WP:SPORTCRIT. Arguably also fails NCRIC due to most of the the matches he played (second-tier or qualifying rounds), and all of the teams he played for (Quetta & DM Jamali), being nowhere close to the "highest domestic level", e.g.
"PCB... pit minnows against the big boys". Incidentally, he seems to be generally referred to as "Imran Rind". wjematherplease leave a message... 13:47, 5 March 2021 (UTC)reply

I'd say whatever it takes to fix it to keep this subject on wikipedia as a football player. If merely rewriting, or moving, or recreate, or whatever the proper terminology is, that's fine. He is not a notable person in music and given the fact there is zero RS references I don't see the need for any acknowledgment of it at all, any more than an article on Tom Brady needs to reference that he likes to play golf in his spare time. The edit history log suggests he created his own page to promote his music. So, yeah, the title needs to change from his rapper name to his football name. And if acknowledgment of his music is necessary at all it is not important enough to be in the lede. In fact, I suppose simply deleting the "discography" section and replacing it with a "personal life", using the exact wording you put in the lede, would fix everything. JMO.

A
WP:POVFORK of
Satanic ritual abuse lately worked on by
WP:ADVOCATEs and
WP:ACTIVISTs newly emboldened by the QAnon culture, this particular article relies on extremely poor sources (including not a few by
predatory journals and
WP:SELFPUB) to make a claim that there is a classification of "ritual abuse" which goes beyond the one that is generally used in the context of the moral panic around SRA that held sway in the 1980s and 1990s. The people writing this article seem to be trying to use Wikipedia to push the POV that there is a concerted phenomenon of ritualized child abuse going on in the world. This strikes me as conspiratorial thinking, especially in the context of today's political climate, and is, frankly, a distraction from actual issues related to child trafficking and child abuse.

Comment: The layout is odd and it might be a redundant fork of something - though I haven't investigated and
satanic ritual abuse seems to fit in name only - but the nom's description doesn't match the article. It's been around for years and has hardly changed post-QAnon; it seems to mainly be about superstitious rituals in the developing world like FGM, etc. that are abusive to children. Crossroads-talk- 20:08, 25 February 2021 (UTC)reply
It was started and maintained by students in a WikiEd project... many of whom it looks like were not really being carefully checked in terms of their sourcing and article writing standards. Since then it has been used by certain questionable accounts in, for example, the way it is now featured as a possible disambig at
Ritual Abuse. I am still trying to decide what to do about the account in question who seems to be taken in by some of the conspiracy theories lately swirling around this subject, but a POVFORK can happen whether the authors intended that when they authored the article or not.

Delete I don't think this article has anything to do with QAnon, at least as currently written. The article at the very least appears to be an improper synthesis of numerous unrelated practices that have not been analysed collectively as "ritual child abuse" in the scholarly literature. The article is also poorly written in a way which I don't think is recoverable, so I think
WP:TNT also applies.
Hemiauchenia (

Keep The nomination misrepresents the topic, which is a
broad survey of the various types of child abuse with a customary or traditional nature, such as
Female genital mutilation. The page quotes the UN Secretary-General’s study on violence against children, "In every region, in contradiction to human rights obligations and children’s developmental needs, violence against children is socially approved and is frequently legal and state authorized." That report was written by
Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro who seems to be a respectable expert. If the UN and its experts think that there's a problem which needs reporting on then the matter seems to be quite notable and significant. Wild-eyed theories about satanism and QAnon are something else and best kept separate.
What's probably causing confusion is the word "ritual" in the page's title. Perhaps a title change might make the scope of the topic clearer. For example, here's a book on the topic. Its title suggests an alternative: Harmful Traditional Practices. Note that title changes are performed by a
move, not by deletion.
(Not !voting yet): My first impression is also that the article's name is not ideal.
Here's the initial revision of the WikiEd page. I also see synthesis (acceptable if it was a list-style article with a well defined inclusion criteria) and we obviously have articles about most topics already, explaining how easy it can be considered a POV fork. Apparently the few sources that are not synthesis and directly related to child abuse in the context of institutions or ritual would be old or from non-notable advocacy org(s). As for the Satanic ritual abuse moral panic, while reading a whole page linking practices together reminds of it, I don't see the obvious relation. I also see no outlandish claims of democratic organized Satanic pedophilia associated with conspiracy theorists like QAnon, at least in the current article. —

Drmies seems mistaken or confused. The book I suggested – Harmful Traditional Practices – seems to be both a good fit for the topic and a respectable secondary source. You can read more about it
here. It's from the Palgrave Macmillan imprint of Springer Nature and its authors include "Karl A. Roberts – a consultant for the World Health Organisation, and Professor and Chair of Policing and Criminal Justice at The University of Western Sydney". The work is about "harmful traditional practices: damaging and often violent acts which include female genital mutilation, forced marriage, honour killings and abuse, breast ironing, witchcraft and faith-based abuse." What's wrong with that book?

Not to jump in on this discussion or whatever, but it seems rather torturous to claim that an article about "ritual child abuse" is actually about "harmful traditional practices". I understand that you see a similarity in the content of this page and the chapters of that book and are, I assume, in
good faith arguing for a rename to preserve... something?... you think is worthwhile in the current treatment. But this does feel a little bit to me like bending over backwards to come to the conclusion you always seem to want to come to. Just a little observation from the other side, if you will.

The topic was selected for this work by a respectable professor at the University of Chicago, as noted below. The content aligns well with the book Harmful Traditional Practices and other similar works such as Interrogating Harmful Cultural Practices. Our much misunderstood policy

Delete The article is an assorted of non-linked cultural practices of child-rearing, many of which are non-Western cultural practices, whose only connecting tie appears to be the author of the article sees them as problematic and tantamount to overt child abuse. Which could be the case in some matters, but very well may not be in others. And worse labeling them as "ritual child abuse" is highly misleading mislabeling. Swaddling children, for example, has no necessary connection with dowries, which in turn has no necessary connection with FGM: and all three practices are not intrinsically ritualistic. The very phrase Ritual Child Abuse conjures up specific connotations for modern readers, particularly in our present era post-Satanic ritual abuse panics and post-QAnon panics or fears over ritual child abuse (which in fairness the article makes no mention of, and to which I am not connecting it). Lastly the disparate non-connected topics listed here appear to simply have been randomly sourced and largely almost copy-pasted and lightly edited. Some of the sources are good, others problematic, but in all case the article basically looks at a number of cultural practices concerning child raising and simply labels them abusive without any apparnet consistent criteria and then, worse, labels them ritualistic - without any convincing anthropological or sociological context for doing so.

Delete. Admittedly it is harder to find info on players with common names, but I don't think taking a well-known player's wicket in a List A match is enough to justify a Wikipedia article. By this point there are many fewer newspapers on the BNA, but possible references seem to be false positives, for example what may have been a reference in a 1988 Staffordshire Sentinel turned out to refer to a Shropshire darts player called John Roberts with cricket scores listed alongside it ...

Delete. I really don't think technically passing N:CRIC is OK when GNG is so comprehensively failed. "O. Borradaile" (how he would have been identified) brings up two references in The Times, neither of which seem relevant and indeed one of which is from well before he was born. The British Newspaper Archive brings up some references with the initial amid the many false positives, but they seem to be very much WP: MILL, and unlike with players from, say, 30 years ago - the oft-described "black hole" - the BNA has enough papers from this period, including a specialist cricket one, to be representative.

Keep. Rated a significant obituary in Wisden on his death in 1935, perhaps more as an administrator than as a player.

Played "occasionally" in county cricket, but rated "an outstanding figure in club cricket".

These are the very sort of lazy nominations that have been the norm of late, with "...no coverage found" being the given reason.
This obituary establishes where he was educated and his role as an administrator, both with Essex and the MCC during the Great War. This is in addition to what Johnlp has sourced. His association with Essex and role played in their transformation into one of England's leading cricket teams easily passes GNG and CRIN. Anyway, thought I'd add my tuppence worth.

It's not at all clear why, fairly late in the topo game, they decided to label what appears to have been a farm as "Edmiston", but there were never more than one or two buildings there, and there hasn't been anything in decades.

Wisdomwiki 40: to clarify how Wikipedia works. We consider something important (notable) when other independent, reliable, secondary sources discuss a subject. You link to a lot of patents, but those are primary sources that are not independent of the subject - they tell us nothing about notability. Rather, we need to see magazine, newspapers and books that discuss the person. Those sources need to be independent (ie. not paid for or connected to the subject in some way). Reliable (ie. not self-published and known for editorial control). In-depth (not minor or trivial mentions). Multiple sources. Then we can say, yes, this person is notable because other people have decided independently to write about them. --

I understand the topic just fine. The pages in question are presumably bullish about the MOND theory because there has been some recent support for that theory whereas the competing dark matter theory is not doing so well – see New Research Supports ‘Modified Gravity’ Theory, for example. These various theories are not settled and so we should be tolerant and adjust as the science develops. The pages in question are about specific technical details rather than being a straightforward duplicate of some existing page. And even if they were duplicates,
WP:REDUNDANTFORK states that "If the content fork was unjustified, the more recent article should be merged back into the main article." So, what is the reason for holding a deletion discussion?
For another similar case, see
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plate theory (volcanism). Again, there are competing theories and some natural tension between them. My view is that deletion is not appropriate because the science is not settled in that case either. I am not alone in that view and so it goes.
These pages are bullish about MOND because they were just created by a SPA that only cares about saying that MOND is right and dark matter does not exist. There is no recent support for MOND, the idea is as dead as it always was. A fringe group of physicists keep writing the same papers about rotational curves of galaxies, while mainstream cosmologists complete ignore this nonsense.
Tercer (

The above comment is odd as a recent book on MOND has won the PROSE award. So the statement that MOND is not supported or "is dead" is not in agreement with the facts. Physicists do not write about MOND, but there are a number of astronomers considering the predictions of MOND as they apply to the rotation curves (not rotational) of galaxies.

Nowhere in either of these articles is it claimed that MOND "has been proven to be true". All that is stated, is that the observational confirmation of the MONDian predictions lends support to the theory. There is nothing that is in the least controversial about such a statement. With regard to "spinoffs": there is a crucial distinction that is being missed here. Both relations under discussion (MASSR, RAR) are novel predictions of Milgrom's theory. The Tully-Fisher relation is a purely empirical relation that is not predicted by any theory. The ability of MOND to make successful novel predictions sets it quite apart from dark-matter theories, including from the standard cosmological model. This is stated clearly in the references, especially the book by Merritt (2020). The successful prediction of these two relations by Milgrom's theory is a watershed event in cosmology and both relations fully deserve their own entry.

Oh no, they don't? Let's see in
Radial acceleration relation: Milgrom's prediction has been confirmed by observational studies. Confirmation of the prediction demonstrates that the internal kinematics of spiral galaxies are predictable based on the distribution of the visible mass alone, which adds support to the hypothesis that dark matter does not exist. Also The results are striking: in virtually every galaxy yet studied in this way, Milgrom's theory correctly predicts the observed rotation curve.[5] No algorithm capable of doing this has yet been presented under the standard cosmological model. And the fact that Milgrom's theory correctly predicts the relation without any adjustment of parameters means that the existence of the RAR provides stronger support for MOND than for the standard cosmological model.. Pretty strident in my book. Let's take a look at
Mass-asymptotic speed relation then. The relation was first predicted by Mordehai Milgrom in 1983; it was confirmed in a number of observational studies about twenty years later. and then Confirmation of Milgrom's prediction lends support to the idea that dark matter does not exist. Also The most recent studies have verified that the observed BTFR has all the properties predicted by Milgrom's MASSR and Milgrom's explanation of the rotation curve anomaly satisfies this condition by virtue of successfully predicting the MASSR/BTFR. By contrast, explanation of the rotation-curve anomaly under the standard cosmological model is ad hoc:. At this rate I'm just quoting the entire articles, so I'll stop.
Most importantly, what you are saying is controversial: these are not predictions of MOND, these are particular cases of the rotational curve of galaxies that MOND was designed to fit. It's entirely unsurprising that MOND can fit them somewhat. What you are claiming was an watershed event in cosmology was entirely unnoticed by mainstream cosmologists, who kept ignoring MOND as they always have.

For another source, see The radial acceleration relation in galaxy clusters. This is specifically about the Radial acceleration relation which is a particular pattern of observations, The paper discusses how the various theories can accommodate these observations.

Question Actually two questions:
Didn't Milgrom formulate MOND to explain the observed galaxy rotation curves, i.e. the fact that MOND explains these aren't actually a prediction but a postdiction?
What exactly are the radial acceleration relation & the mass-asymptotic speed relation? The RAR article says it is "a relation between the centripetal acceleration, V2/R, of a star orbiting in a disk (or spiral) galaxy, and the gravitational acceleration due to the matter in the galaxy", while the MASR article says it is "a predicted relation between the total mass of a disk (or spiral) galaxy, and its large-radius rotation speed". How are these two topics distinct from
galaxy rotation curve?
Banedon (
talk) 01:53, 26 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Yes, it's a straightforward postdiction. The "discovery" these papers are claiming is that the fit between MOND and the observations is really really good, and that such a good fit can't be explained by ΛCDM. Ignoring the fact that the fit doesn't work at all for galaxy clusters, and that ΛCDM can account very well for the correlation
[29][30][31][32].
They are not distinct. MASR is just the rotation speed at a large distance from the centre, that is, a single point from the galaxy rotation curve. The radial acceleration relation is just a different way of presenting the discrepancy between the observed rotational velocity and the one predicted from baryonic matter alone; instead of plotting velocity versus radius they plot observed acceleration versus predicted acceleration.
Tercer (

Keep. The argument to delete this page is that it is the same as MOND. This is not correct. The radial acceleration relation is an empirical relation that is observed to exist.

[34]. This places it in the top percentile of citation rate: most papers in the field do not have anything like this kind of impact on other refereed publications. This is a good indication that the scientific community takes the radial acceleration relation seriously irrespective of whether that is also true for the theory MOND. — Preceding

Your username is curiously similar to Stacy McGaugh, an author of the paper you are so passionately defending and of many of the references in the articles being AfD'ed. Furthermore, almost all of your edits have been on MOND-related topics. Don't you have a
WP:COI to declare?
Tercer (

McGaugh and Schombert (see comment above) are authors of the RAR discovery paper (PRL cited above) along with Lelli. We repeat our emphasis that the RAR is neither a pro or con MOND discovery. It is an empirical relation outlining the coupling between baryons and dark matter. It is also a fact that no current proposal for a dark matter particle predicts this coupling. This allows us to entertain other explanations for the origin of flat rotation curves. We are not the authors of the RAR entry, but we are experts in this area. Is it a COI to have experts weight in on a topic that we are very familiar with? Do you have a response to Stacy's statement that the RAR discovery is one of the most highly cited articles in a peer review journal? This discovery does threaten the cold dark matter paradigm, that does not seem a sufficient reason for deletion.

Please read
WP:COI. Editors that have a conflict of interest must declare it, and should not edit the articles about their work. Wikipedia is not the place to promote your own papers. Furthermore, you have created this account solely for the purpose of commenting in this AfD. This is forbidden, and makes you a
WP:MEATPUPPET. The fact that McGaugh's paper is highly cited is irrelevant for this discussion. The problem with this article is that it mostly reproduces the contents of
MOND, but heavily promoting it, while
MOND is more neutral. This constitutes a
WP:POVFORK, and is forbidden.
Tercer (
talk) 09:19, 27 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Lean delete looking at the PRL paper this is a genuine empirical relation, but it is not intrinsically related to MOND. In particular, per this paper
[35], "Almost immediately after McGaugh, Lelli & Schombert (2016) published their RAR relation paper, Keller & Wadsley (2017) responded by demonstrating that a similar relation can be obtained using ΛCDM hydrodynamic simulations of disk galaxies". So the relation is not the compelling argument in favor of MOND the article makes it out to be. The article could be keepable if and only if it is greatly rewritten to emphasize what the relation is, and what the competing explanations are.
Banedon (
talk) 02:49, 27 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Keep I have to strenuously disagree both with
Tercer and
Banedon. (i) The RAR is a bona-fide, prior prediction of MOND. The RAR relation was not known to exist before MOND predicted it, and its observational confirmation came as a surprise. (ii) The MOND theory was definitely not designed or constructed to reproduce the RAR relation, or, for that matter, rotation curves in general. (iii) There is a qualitative difference between confirming a theory, and confirming a prediction of a theory. Example: Einstein’s theory predicts the bending of starlight; the prediction was observationally confirmed; and that fact constitutes support for (NOT proof of) Einstein’s theory. In precisely the same way, Milgrom’s theory predicts the RAR; the prediction was observationally confirmed; and that fact constitutes support for (NOT proof of) MOND. The article as written makes this distinction quite clearly.
Tercer, in particular, does not seem to appreciate this important distinction. (iv) There is also an important qualitative distinction between using a theory to make a prior prediction, and adjusting a theory, after the fact, to explain an observation. MOND does the former with respect to the RAR. The Keller & Wadsley paper cited by
Banedon does, at best, the latter. As the RAR article correctly points out, the former is generally considered to be much more compelling support for a theory than the latter. I agree with
James Schombert and
Mcgaugh: given its citation record, the RAR is an extremely significant result (whether considered as a theoretical prediction, or an observed fact) and absolutely deserves its own page. If
Tercer and
Banedon are unhappy about the existence of a relation that was successfully predicted by a non-standard theory, my advice is: Get over it!
Jeremygoodman (
talk) 18:17, 27 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Now what on Earth are you talking about? Milgrom's original paper was explicitly about explaining the rotation curves of galaxies. Also, the RAR cannot possibly be a prediction of MOND, because it directly follows from the rotation curves. Milgrom himself said as much
[36]: Given that this formula had already been shown to reproduce correctly the observed rotation curves from the baryon distribution (as a MOND effect), it must have been clear, a priory, that it should describe correctly the MDAR, which is but a summary of rotation curves.
I'm also very curious to know how, after not editing Wikipedia for 7 years, you came across this AfD.
Tercer (
talk) 19:28, 27 February 2021 (UTC)reply
KEEP I don't think it's the job of Wikipedia editors to decide whether or not MOND is dead. If the idea was discussed in papers published in respected peer-reviewed journals, then it is notable. That notability doesn't go away even if the theory is later discredited. After all, there's a Wikipedia article on
Lamarckism. If the tone of the article does not seem neutral, or if it ignores later developments that disprove the idea, then the page should be modified, or maybe merged, but not deleted.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid you misunderstood the purpose of this AfD. I'm not arguing that
MOND should be deleted (and indeed I think it shouldn't be deleted). I'm saying that
Radial acceleration relation and
Mass-asymptotic speed relation should be deleted. Not because MOND is dead, but because they are stridently saying that MOND is true, whereas the
MOND article notes correctly that it is a minority opinion in physics. This constitutes a
WP:POVFORK, which is forbidden.

MOND, but with these opinionated outgrowths of it.

Delete I don't see a reason for Radial acceleration relation to be a separate article from MOND if the relation forms a core argument for the existence of the theory. It should be discussed in the MOND article with context and crticism, and has no evidence of separate notability from MOND. The Mass-asymptotic speed relation article has no reason to exist either, as the topic is literally the exact same as the Tully–Fisher relation, making it by almost any definition a POVFORK.
Hemiauchenia (
talk) 16:49, 28 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Delete the article on
Mass-asymptotic speed relation, since this is not sufficiently different from the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation to justify a separate article. For the
Radial acceleration relation article, I would lean towards keep, since this relation has been the subject of some highly cited papers, which gives evidence for notability. And, it has also been discussed and interpreted in the Lambda-CDM context (
here's a new preprint that I just saw, and the introduction section gives a good overview), so it has some broader utility beyond its connection to MOND. But, if the RAR article is kept, it should be reduced to a stub and then rewritten from scratch with a focus on NPOV. The way the article is currently written has serious NPOV problems.

Keep - while the notability of this backup vocalist may seem obscure at first glance because she is "only" a backup singer from Ghana, West Africa, she is notable as a featured African female singer. For WP's purposes, "fame & fortune" does not equate to WP:N. See
this article which states the following: Adaka Tea, which features Ateaa Tina, was released in 2003 from the album, “Bubra”. The song is referred to as "one of the most popular Daddy Lumba songs of all time." That tells us notability is there, and all we need to do is find the sources. I'm of the mind that this BLP is notable per
WP:NPOSSIBLE, and because of the fact that she qualifies as a major contributor to a hit song, among many others.

Yeah, so...have you researched Newspaper archives for that country, or do they have such a thing so we can see what recognition she was given over the years? Is what you're saying basically that, despite her being a major contributor to popular songs as a female back-up vocalist for a popular male singer, who is notable enough to have his own article, that she isn't notable enough for a WP article because she is not as "famous" as the "star singer"?? Is that what you're saying? I don't understand why you want this BLP deleted because we do have readers who are interested in seeing the "team" that made some of these song popular - be it in their country or globally. Certainly you realize that back in the day, women simply didn't get recognition, and that as WP editors, we apply common sense to our PAGs (and sometimes IAR) to determine if a BLP, such as this one, is verifiably DUE. She played an integral role in the "star's" popular songs, which certainly warrants an article, considering what all is involved. I couldn't help but compare it to athletes who simply showed up for a major league game - all they have to do is qualify - or maybe play in one or two games - and that warrants a separate article. If you're telling me that there is absolutely, positively no chance we will find sources that we can cite that will satisfy WP:V and/or corroborate that she was actually a recorded artist (back-up vocalist) on any of the songs that were considered the singer's hits, then I will agree with you, and will change my position. At this point in time, I don't agree that is the case - but I'm certainly open-minded to it if you can provide a convincing argument.

Delete GNG is the standard for everything. The cricket notability guidelines are absurd, "first class" matches are too common, and playing in 1 should no more make a person notable than having a significant role in just one notable film makes someone notable. Note that being on the field for a team for part of a game does not mean the player actually did anything significant, so even that comparison is flawed, but if actors and actresses need multiple apperances we should demand the same of sportspeople. Especially since the top sports people have played in way more games than top actors and actresses have been in notable productions. So the one game threshold is just plain absurd.

Article creator's stated rationale is the recent creation of a game trophy.
[37]WP:Recentism aside, per
WP:Notability and
WP:SIGCOV, there are not multiple, independent
WP:RS citations which support a claim that there is football rivalry (game) between these two teams. While games in the football series date to 1892, we do not manifest these as rivalry articles for every long-played and routine series between conference opponents.
UW Dawgs (

I would argue that the announcement from the two universities and the Big Ten Conference of a rivalry game should supersede any other criteria for a rivalry game. I would also point out the fact that there is an
Illinois-Michigan football series page, which is not a rivalry article, rather a routine series. If that page is allowed to stay on Wikipedia, so should the page of an announced rivalry game, as should my edits on the pages of the schools in question.
SilverPlacebo15 (

That other things that have articles are maybe also not rivalries doesn't mean this is one,
SilverPlacebo15. What I sense here is a desire to have just about every game be an instance of a rivalry, something that is no doubt happily played up by sources such as ESPN because it generates clicks and views. Oh! It's a rivalry! Which is why RECENTISM applies--because we need to look at the long term.
Drmies (

I disagree with that premise... you don't just see Michigan go and make a rivalry trophy with Rutgers/Maryland/Penn State just because they joined the Big Ten, or even with Indiana or Illinois with which they surely have significant history. That a program as historically significant to the history of college football as Michigan declared Northwestern to be a rival is relevant IMO. There are many historically relevant games in the series history as well. Also, if there are articles that are not rivalries, why are they not flagged for deletion, but this one is? That doesn't make sense to me. Surely Michigan/Northwestern is more of a significant rivalry than the
Civil Conflict, which was literally a joke amongst the sports world.
SilverPlacebo15 (

Keep: I truly believe that the fact that both schools[1][2](not just one) and the Big Ten Conference (see commissioner
Kevin Warren's statement in either article) recognize the series as a rivalry should allow it to remain on Wikipedia. Notice in the statements how both schools refer to the game as a "rivalry", and not just a "series". It's not like one school or a media organization made up the rivalry to be relevant. The rivalry was created to honor a pioneer in
George Jewett who played for both storied programs and have had many historically significant games over the past 129 years.

Keep: or at the very least, draftify. Honestly, I am convinced by the page creator's arguments and am not a fan that this article was AfD'd a mere two hours after its creation while it was still a stub. RECENT is not a policy-based criterion for deletion, and in fact, I believe it works against deletion in this context: [B]y documenting timely material with reliable sources at the outset, more permanent sources will hopefully be found and used later. I thought of proposing a redirect to a page for the trophy, but am noticing that trophies tend to redirect to what else? The main rivalry page. The sourcing on the trophy is quality, and it seems not unreasonable (blah blah CRYSTAL) that better sources will follow.

Delete per nom. The series is just too lopsided for there to be anything more than a feeble token shadow of a wisp of a rivalry. As the nom has noted, the only news of this so-called rivalry is the unveiling of a trophy commemorating it. The fact that other Big Ten rivalry articles exist may just indicate that some of them should go too. In any case,

As per my original arguments, there are many other lopsided rivalry series as well, even more lopsided than the Michigan-Northwestern series. I believe that the fact that both schools and the Big Ten (check my references) refer to the game as a rivalry suggests that there is more than a mere series between conference opponents. I would also like to keep building this page as I learn more about the history between the two schools. Who knows, with the trajectory of the programs, the series may well tighten (I say this as a Michigan student and fan). (

Keep. In addition to the recent coverage of the Jewett Trophy, there is actually a lot of interesting history here. From the 1910s through the 1930s, Northwestern dominated this series, including a 1925 game that cost Michigan the national championship. The series also had a fiercely competitive period during
Ara Parseghian's tenure as head coach (1956–1963). If this is kept, I'd be happy to help improve it and build it out.
Cbl62 (
talk) 21:41, 25 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Agreed
Cbl62, there are many games that can be reference to make a point that there is much more than a mere series between conference opponents. For example, Northwestern won the first game between the two programs in 1892 against a Michigan program that was the premier football program at the time. Another game could be in 1995, where an upset of #7 Michigan sprung the Wildcats on a path to their first Big Ten title since 1936. In addition, it was Northwestern's first win against Michigan in 30 years (since 1965). Similar upsets occurred in 1996 and 2000 as upsets of Michigan were key in Northwestern's only three Big Ten titles in the
AP Poll era. (

Comment If this is a football rivalry, coverage specific to that topic sufficient to pass the
WP:GNG guideline needs to be located per
WP:SIGCOV (A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject). In this case, such independent coverage and citations about the topic might include coverage of memorable games played in the rivalry, callouts of memorable events or plays in the rivalry, players and coaches discussing the rivalry, quotes about the rivalry, reporting of W-L records of coaches within the rivalry, and similar content which is directly framed as a football rivalry.
Conversely, some good-faith
WP:Other stuff exists arguments and edits are conflating routine content surrounding games and scores, the actions of individual players, and similar with the immediate need to clearly demonstrate the notability of the article's topic. This can have the appearance of
WP:Synthesis and create
Wikipedia:Coatrack articles, due to not establishing the notability of their topic. Today's news cycle driven by the press releases of the two universities about their new trophy may or may not mean that new trophy already passes GNG. We have
Category:College football rivalry trophies in the United States and a naming convention for those (non-rivalry) articles which fail to establish notability as a rivalry.

I didn't read the other responses before I voted, but my gut says the trophy will probably qualify for an article at some point if it doesn't already (and if it doesn't I'd be fine with keeping it), but I'd want a lot of the overview to be cut down and be specific to the trophy.

Article about an American actress which is tagged for notability since 2019.
Shimarin placed the tag on the article. He is also active at the Hungarian wiki, just like me. But anyways, she seems cute and all, but I don't think that she is notable. The presented sources are either about the game or an interview with the founder. Sarah gets mentioned marginally in all of them, but I think that's not enough. During a Google search I only found the following: fandom wiki, databases, fansites, quotations, and a (repetitive) article about her collecting money to pay her medical bills. I am not satisfied. So yeah, I think Ms. Sarah is not notable, but as always, I am happy to be proven wrong.

Draftify per nom. To say that "all citations are from tabloid or otherwise unreliable sources" is a bit off because at least Pocket Gamer and GamesIndustry.biz are
recognised as reliable sources. However, what is available in reliable sources (some not cited in the article include:

Draftify I agree that the article is written like an ad, though that doesn't have much impact on whether the subject is notable. And yes, most of the coverage, even in reliable sources, isn't much more than run of the mill content. I have found this article from a Belorussian newspaper
[55] which discusses the phenomenon of hyper-casual games in the country with reference to Playgendary. While they have a quote from the company's CEO, I think the article overall amounts to significant and independent coverage. Together with the first Pocket Gamer piece, we might have enough coverage to say
WP:NCORP is met. Overall, I suspect that there will be more coverage in the Belorussian media since the company seems to be quite prominent in the country's gaming industry.

Modussiccandi, thanks for the ping. Unfortunately, these sources don't convince me. All three briefly discuss the contemporary popularity of some of the company's games; the latter two appear to be about the same App Annie ranking.
WP:RUNOFTHEMILL likely still applies as well. From what I can see, we do not have enough information in reliable sources to write a decent (even if short) article about the company itself, rather than a bunch of its games. The raw number of reliable citations where the company is mentioned (currently 7) is ultimately irrelevant. Do you think it would be wise to aim for draft incubation first, potentially allowing the discovery of sources outside the AfD process?
IceWelder [

IceWelder I would not at all be opposed to moving this to draft. The company seems significant enough to generate the coverage required, but even I agree that currently its notability is borderline at most.

The problem is not with the article, really, the problem is that at this point in your life, you simply don't meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. You're close, in my opinion, but you're not there. That's why I !voted that the article should be sent to draftspace instead of being deleted. I think that you have the probability of being Wiki-notable at some point, and the article should be kept around and updated until that point is reached.Also, may I say that it's not considered to be good form for the author of an article -- who in this case is also the subject of the article -- to answer every comment by other editors at AfD. We call it
WP:BLUDGEONing. I don't think you're there yet, but you will be if you continue to respond as you are now. This is a community process, you should let the discussion run to a decision -- it's highly unlikely that anything you say at this point is going to change the course of events.My advice to you is copy the article and keep it off-Wiki, in case it doesn't get draftified, and bring it back once the situation has substantially changed, that is, when you have more experience under your belt, and more media coverage. Good luck!

Comment-This article captures the life, and political contribution of recently passed Mr Akram Hosen Mandal, a political leader and a former union parishad chairman from Bangladesh’s Haluaghat who was elected repeatedly three times for his honesty, integrity and commitment for the people and the land. I strongly believe the world, especially the young generations of Bangladesh and the South Asia deserve knowledge and information about Mr Akram Hosen Mandal. Mr Akram Hosen Mandal’s contribution to organise refugee camps during Bangladesh’s liberation war, his strong active role in leading successful general strikes during military rule and many other aspects of his life should be part of public knowledge and the history. IT would possibly be an injustice if this article is deleted from the Wikipedia. As it is my first article draft for Wikipedia, I understand unintentional mistakes can happen during the article drafting or editing. I am happy to hear about, and address the mistakes, insufficiencies and inadequacies of this article. If you kindly inform me the problems or insufficiencies it will be a generosity and I will then try to address the identified issues as much as possible. I will eagerly wait to hear from you. Thank you all for your support, cooperation and generosity to allow me with opportunities to improve the quality of the article. — Preceding

what
evidence you have for any of the above? Just proving he was in the position of responsibility or taken part in something is not enough. The subject contribution need to be
significant and it need to be supported by wide coverage. Your newness is not the problem. I will be glad to save an article from deletion by adding information, if sources exists and/or there are indication that the subject is notable.

The use of the phrase ‘non-notable local politician’ by a Wikipedia reviewer was a highly problematic comment. It devalued and marginalised the people with significance from rural, remote, non-urban areas and subaltern communities. The comment provided was very elitist in nature.
The article that I have been drafting is still in a very raw or work-in-progress stage and it is within my plan to gradually work towards it's completion with sufficient citation and referencing, with objective language and tone use and many other stages of academic and professional writing exercise. Identifying and levelling an article for deletion at an early stage of writing is not a good practice, I must say. You need to give time to people to build their content, to build their article first.
I initiated this write up neither from a fan's points of view, not I am writing an obituary. My subject has spent a life with significance and his legacies, his historical roles ( history is not only about kings, queens and urban intellectuals, politicians and celebrities history is also about people like my subject- making or changing processes and the nature of politics in the grassroots, in the machines, in the peripheries) to be documented for world’s future generations. You may argue that my subject person Mr Akram Hosen Mandal’s name or contribution not already available in a lot of media. In relation to this I must say you need to consider the context, the time, the area where and when Mr Akram Hosen Mandal made his significant political contributions- he worked in a prior to the Internet time, in a remote and rural area. You cannot expect available of a wide range of published materials in relation to a people like him. There are hundreds and thousands of people with significant contributions to public life and humanity in this world who are still not captured in the lenses of visual media or academic or media write-ups. That doesn't mean we don't have an evidence base or references to support the creation or completion of Wikipedia entries on these persons. We need to move beyond the conventional and narrow definition of evidence. To understand and document you just cannot rely merely on previously published write-ups. If you only look for previously available published work on a person or subject how public knowledge will be created and further expanded?
The point that I wish to make is straightforward: we need to provide sufficient time, direction, support and cooperation to me or other Wikipedia contributors before sudden levelling or stereotyping a work-in-progress or draft article for deletion. The article that I have been building will ultimately be a well researched, well-cited and objective Wikipedia entry. We need time for that. There should not be any unnecessary rush.
Will you disclose any relationship you have with the subject per our policy. I am noting the fact that you share the same surname. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not an indiscriminate list of people. As such we have guidelines and rules on who qualify for an article. His position does not give him a pass on notability guidelines so we have to see if there is adequate coverage in reliable sources, there isn't. Wikipedia job is not to represented underappreciated people; if you want to highlight his success than might I recommend writing a blog or a news article? Is the topic notable? The answer is not; it does not have the required sources. Just because someone is not notable per Wikipedia guidelines does not diminish them or their legacy. Please read
Wikipedia:Notability (people).

As I said before, the article is at the draft or work-in-progress stage at this point.
Systematic research and writing processes will be undertaken and applied involving all the stakeholders and information sources to progressively improve the quality, content, accuracy, objectivity and referencing.
I am keen to contribute to the Wikipedia community. As an anthropologist and social scientist I will be very interest to make solid intellectual and professional contribution to the Wikipedia community.
I commenced writing this particular article as an anthropologist and social scientist. How local politics, local figures and local experiences contribute to shaping the global agenda is an exciting area to discuss and debate. Conventional understanding about ‘notable person’ is very problematic.
Delete The topic has not been shown to be
notable (to meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria). Unless that circumstance changes within the next few days, the article will not be kept.
In principle, non-notable subjects could always be draftified/userfied in the hope that some day research will unearth adequate sources, or that more will be written about the subject, or that Wikipedia will radically loosen its inclusion criteria. But a
union parishad chairman who did not go on to higher office has never been the subject of a stand alone Wikipedia biography, and long experience has taught that the odds of that changing are vanishingly small. It would be more unkind to give the author the false hope that this topic might ever be accepted than it would be to delete it. The author would be better advised to consider
alternative outlets for what they want to write about Mandal.
If there were an article about
Haluaghat Union, Mandal's name could be included in a list of chairpersons, and this title redirected there. The only other redirect target I can see would be his brother,
Kudratullah Mandal. I don't think that's a good target, but others may disagree. There is no non-duplicative content worth merging anywhere. --

Hi thanks all for sharing your perspectives and thoughts.
This article was written with the intention to capture the life and contributions of Mr Akram Hosen Mandal as a politician. His role as a union parishad chairman for three terms (you will see the union parishad website referred only two terms, in reality he served for three terms- this reflects limitations of conventional referencing based on electronically available references only) is only one aspect of his rewarding career. I was keen primarily to capture his solid political contributions in a wide range of areas that includes contributions during the Bangladesh’s war of independence in 1971, his contributions in mobilizing the protest in the border land areas after the killing of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and family in post 1975 political unrest, mr Akram Hosen Mandal’s solid contributions to oppose and challenge to the military regime of general Ershad through successful leading of hartals, strikes, protests and mass mobilisations in one of which he luckily escaped the sword by jumping into a waste water full pond while his sons and his pro democracy supporters were brutally tortured and arrested. The news was the main headline item of that day in the BBC Bangla. He donated his personal land for establishing a college which is now the largest college in Haluaghat and would possibly get a separate Wikipedia entry in the future. The greatest of all role Akram Mandal served in his life is the promotion, leading and maintenance of community harmony and peaceful inter-ethnic, inter-cultural, inter-faith relationships in a challenging context of rural, remote, regional borderland areas where hindu, muslims, christians and garo indigenous peoples live, and challenging time when Bengali settlers were dumped by military rule and also during the post babri mosque destruction. He was the person who constantly connected and acted as a bridge, as a glue between people of different communities, cultures and religions.
Narrowing a politician with a wide range of political and social contributions merely into a ‘union parishad chairman’ and then labeling or stereotyping as a ‘non-notable subject’ and then making sudden decision for deletion of a article which is in its initial drafting stage is a very immature, rigid, closed and problematic approach that doesn’t support ongoing progression and evolvement of public knowledge for our future generations. A union parishad chairman can’t be a notable subject or a union parishad chairman has limited opportunities to be a notable person are problematic assumptions with very elitist worldview and supports dominant representation of union parishad chairman’s in the conventional dominant media or discourse. The approach of directly linking an union parishad chairman with ‘non-notable’ subject is neither dynamic nor historical. This approach does not see the ways the importance of different professions, including union parishad chairman, changes over time and throughout the history.
Thank you for your ongoing considerations to support future improvement of this article. — Preceding

Weak Keep Looking at the French article gave me access to a few more sources, and I was able to find a couple others on my own. Some of it is just the basic type of article where they say an event is happening, but some provide analysis of both the art market and the fair's effect on it, as well as discussion of the art in the fair itself. It's not a ton of coverage, but I also have a limited ability to search for sources in French. I'm not terribly bothered if it's deleted, but I think there's some notability there.

Despite the valiant refbombing effort, there's actually very little to even suggest, let alone prove, notability. The refs are all concert listings and similar; the few RS ones are passing mentions — I've not found one that amounts to significant coverage by any definition.

The school also offers a Ph.D (Doctor of Philosophy)... But in any case, professional degrees are as valid as general degrees. They are not simply "trade certifications/industry group certifications" as you allege above, but degrees! According to the article, it grants BTech, BPharm, MPharm, MCA, MBA and PhD. Every one of those is a recognised degree, not a trade certification. These (plus others) are confirmed by the college's website. --
Necrothesp (

I see the article makes such a claim, but the present website for the instituition has dropped that claim:
[58]. At any rate, granting of degrees doesn't necessarily mean it will survive under GNG - pre wp:schooloutcomes, the most important thing that saves an instituition's notability is substantial secondary source coverage - which I simply haven't found evidence for. Warmly,

both those references are promotional interviews, the sort of interview where the interviewer asks leading questions, and the subject of the interview says whatever they please about themselves. We have for several years realized that these are not independent sources in any real sense--the paper simply prints whatever the subject (or the subject's PR people) tell it. Even otherwise good papers do this, and it essentially means we cannot trust as independent sources anything in a news source which does not clearly indicate independent reporting with editorial control. Even the NYT does this sort of promotion and even more blatant choice of products to include in its style pages. It always did, but they're harder to distinguish in the online version. To the extent they show anything at all, they show the work of the press agent. DGG (

Other language are maybe mildly of concern but something to bear in mind. If the article in English is deleted, the pages in the other languages will continue. Odd? These pages in other languages help with defining the term, when the word or words to be used, how to translate the idea or ideas, is not entirely obvious. So keeping the page in English indirectly helps the other languages, some of them like Irish, fighting to survive.

TGcoa, it doesn't matter. The English language is not the backbone of others. If someone on the Irish WP starts an AFD because it is deleted in English, and there's no right reason to delete it there, then it should be kept there, but not here. Common rookie mistake, nothing to fear. GeraldWL 14:50, 4 March 2021 (UTC)reply

Biography of a person notable primarily as mayor of a smallish city, not
properly referenced as passing
WP:NPOL #2. Mayors are not handed an automatic notability freebie just because they're minimally verifiable as having existed -- the notability test for a mayor requires the ability to write a substantive article about his political significance: specific things he did, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But this features essentially none of that, and with the only sources being a blurb's worth of information in a local history book and an undergraduate history essay by a student at the local university, it doesn't cite nearly enough coverage to deem him as passing
WP:GNG in lieu of having to satisfy the notability criteria for mayors.

WP:HEY as it is a weak keep, but for gazetteer subjects like schools, that should be enough. IMO, there's been way too much deletion of gazetteer subjects over the last year. It does bear note that the range of available sources doesn't end at the same place Google does. That applies even more in parts of the world where data digitalization hasn't got as far as it has in others and contributes to systemic bias on Wikipedia.

Delete This fails the notability guidelines due to lacking multiple, independent, in-depth reliable sources about it. As far as the "systemic bias" thing goes, about 55% of Kerala where this school is located has access to the internet and it's the 13th largest state in India. Which is on par or better then a lot of places in more "developed" countries like America. So, I don't think it's an issue in this case. Otherwise, it wouldn't be acceptable to delete an article on anything in India. Maybe if the population and (or) the percentage of people who have access to the internet was smaller there, but it's hard to make a case for the potential of bias being the cause of lacking sourcing when when the place has over 15 million people connected to the internet. More then likely there's no good sourcing because this school just isn't notable for anything. --

The school is notable for being the first girl's school in India, which is asserted in the sources I've provided above. There's also several books which cover or mention the subject. "Polity, Society and Women" has a three page section on the missionary family who started the school under the heading "Women's Education in North Travancore," which states that the founder of the school was the pioneer of girl's education in North Travancore. There are more sources discussing the school, but unfortunately I don't have the ability to get my hands on a lot of the books that cover it. There's another book called "Above the Heron's Pool" that covers the family and the school, but the only places I can see that have it are a few scattered college libraries.

For the systemic bias point, I think there are more factors affecting the bias than just the Internet penetration rate, so even with a relatively high Internet penetration rate, there is likely still significant systematic bias due to other factors. ~
Ase1estecharge-paritytime 03:28, 18 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Putting aside the internet penetration rate, according to ScottishFinnishRadish there's more sources that discuss this then a lot of high schools in the United States. So, how exactly does systematic bias play into this particular AfD then? You can't have it both ways where there are supposedly multiple sources that discuss it (enough for it to be notable), but then also "oh yeah and systematic bias if those aren't good enough." Doing this fairly, you have a source that discusses the missionary family who started the school. Which likely wouldn't be usable due to not being directly about the subject if it was an AfD for a school somewhere else. So, how does it suddenly become usable in this case "because systematic bias"? In other words, "systematic bias" works as an argument against deletion when it can be used as a reason for there being no or hardly any sources. Not when it comes to situations where there are sources, but they just aren't up to the standards though. --

Reading the first mention of systematic bias, which is from 174.254.192.137(
talk·contribs·WHOIS), the IP states that deletion of this article contributes to systematic bias, and systematic bias is bad, so instead we should avoid deletion of this article to avoid contributing systematic bias. As far as I can see in the guidelines for
WP:NSCHOOLS, this is not a valid reason for non-deletion, so I think systemic bias here won't work well anyway. ~

Mainly because the sources as clearly in the article obviously up to par. Just to give a breakdown, two references are from government sources and are therefore not independent of the subject. Plus they are rather trivial. Two sources are not even about the school. Therefore they do not address it directly or in-depth as is required. The only might work, "ADDRESS AT THE BICENTENARY CELEBBRATIONS OF BAKER MEMORIAL GIRLS’ HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL AT KOTTAYAM", doesn't because it is a non-neutral blog post.

Notability is not inherited so the fact that some colleges might have a notable stadium does not mean that all college stadiums across the entire USA are automatically notable. Your assertion that we are singling this one stadium out is also false as there have been at least six up for AfD recently and that's just the US ones. There have also been many Spanish non-notable stadiums up for deletion with the exact same rationale, which is that there is simply no evidence that they meet GNG or NBUILD. This discussion is about this particular stadium so unless someone can prove that this stadium meets criteria, it is not notable. If you wish to suggest that all stadiums are inherently notable, then maybe you need to start a discussion at

To be clear, I've said it twice, another editor has also pointed it out. And we're saying it because it's true. One of the above citations, which does go into the field, is from a primary source, and therefore cannot be used to show notability. The other 3 are simple mentions of the field, two in articles about games played about the field, and another regarding the donation the field's namesake made to the university. So yes, I do hope the closer weighs the value of the additional sourcing provided.

This temple of the LDS Church does not yet exist and is not under construction. Where it will be built is still unknown. The entire basis of the article is that the president of the LDS Church stated in 2018 that the church would build a temple in Russia. That's it – that's all we have.

I had added it prior to understanding whats been generally considered a standard in recent years (only temples completed or under construction). So because of this, I agree with the nomination for deletion if that's the consensus. That being said, almost all temples announced over the pulplet go to groundbreaking within a few years. Announced temples not being built is so rare that all 4 announced temples that were never built have wikipedia articles. The Russia Temple is the first and so far only temple announced by the LDS Church without a named city, making the Russia Temple unique among other announced temples. As for it being renamed, some dedicated, operating temples gets renamed every so often.

Harrison New York Temple.
Good Ol’factory(talk) 01:19, 26 February 2021 (UTC)reply
good observation. The
Harrison New York Temple is also the only one that efforts were suspended since the 1830s. Again, suspension of efforts are rare. In the 1830s it was due to the members being forced from their land. For Harrison, it's likely because of significant delays due to community opposition and the announcement of the Manhattan Temple. The remainder (more than 97% of all temples, and more than 99% of those announced post-1830s) were built and put in operation. Unlike individual congregational church buildings and
stake centers that dot each temple district, a temple was built as a centerpiece to a LDS Community or a building that adherent members
pilgrimage to in areas further out (which would be the case for the Russia Temple). As I mentioned before, I’m perfectly ok with the removal of the page if that’s the consensus, I just want to make sure everything is taken into consideration prior to the removal of the page.

Olle Nessle) and expanded the article somewhat as well as added them to support existing statements. I'm guessing the text on Alfredsson in En hôger Sellere which was the one source in the article earlier depends a lot on Dahlström, it seems to say very similar things. Additiontally,
sv:Kerstin Högstrand wrote an article about Alfredsson in Värmländsk kultur 16:4, 1995, "Mannen med tidspistolen : om bonden, snickaren och skulptören Ture Alfredsson, Sillerud", which I don't have access to right now. In total, this means that we have a) a number of good, reliable sources from more than person, b) that the texts focus on Alfredsson specifically, at length – he's not merely mentioned in passing – and c) that they cover a significant span of time: He died in 1984, yet these texts are written between 1995 and 2011, signifying enduring interest in his life and art. Having looked into this, I'd say he passes

reliable sources providing
significant coverage of the programming language, not how many pageviews the article receives, whether
you like it, or whether it is merely
related to notable things. Even with these arguments discounted, there is consensus that sufficient sourcing exists to establish the notability of the subject. Many sources are recent, challenging the nominator's claim that the language has faded into obscurity, and making the previous discussions in 2015 and earlier less applicable. Of course, there is also consensus that the article needs substantial trimming and improved sourcing, and that it should not be linked inappropriately from other articles, but neither of these are
reasons for deletion. —

Yet another open source computer language that never quite achieved notability despite the developer's attempts to promote it.
Most of the citations are to nim-lang.org or the Nim github page.
15 page views in the last 30 days (including mine).
A few sources that pretty much cover everything new covered this when it was new. The developers also managed to get invited to make presentations at some conferences.
And now some of the fans are spamming it into the "see also" of all the other computer languages. See
[8]. Example:
Rust (programming language)#See also -- it is the only language listed even though Rust has nothing to do with Nim and everything to do with C++
Bottom line: it looked promising when it was shiny and new but never quite took off and became notable.

Comment: Well I didn't expect to see this here when I went looking at AfD for the first time in a few weeks... I've heard quite a bit about this language through word-of-mouth, so I'm inclined to say weak keep, but I think a lot of those arguments have a good amount of merit. I will say that at first glance it looks like the article could be trimmed considerably, as several sections seem irrelevant for a programming language this "small". It makes sense to me that that could be an attempt by fans to improve its appearance by giving it a visually (as in length and syntax highlighting) developed article on Wikipedia. I'll have to do some reading and research, but I'm fairly confident discussion is warranted—I wouldn't be surprised if I end up going towards delete, here.

The subject does not meet GNG, BASIC, ANYBIO, or NSOLDIER. Sources in the article are not SIGCOV, addressing the subject directly and indepth. The The Scramble in the Horn of Africa simply states, "Rumours of the desertions of Nur Hedik (leader of the Dervish horse) and his following are still current." (no other mentions in book). The Times source only states they were shot (6 words total). The final source is quoted in the article, so it is obvious this is a mention, not SIGCOV. BEFORE showed nothing.

Comment, Hedik was commander overall of cavalry, since commanders of subsections had other names such as Casardega, Isumara, Xamarka, Baroorka, Dooxato or Lufato. One such commander of a subsection of cavalry was a guy named Mursal Saacid. As you can see, I haven't created a page on Mursal because Mursal isn't as notable as the overall commander of Dervish cavalry whom happened to be Hedik. As for the time period, he was commander from Dervish begginnings to his death.

If this was about Dervish cavalry, then the composition such as Casardega, Isumara, Xamarka, Baroorka, Dooxato or Lufato would have been included. Also, other cavalry raids which are known for Hedik not being involved such as Bebera raid in 1914 and Burao raid in the same year would have been included.

Keep contrary to Timothy's assertions of no other mentions, other mentions do exist, albeit with different spellings. Furthermore, it was a common policy to avoid directly naming leaders of Dervish adversaries, see for instnce "six leaders of the enemy's force were killed" albeit nameless (
source), as such, when Nur Hedik gets named despite this British censorship, it is indicative of significance. Furthermore, its clear that Hedik was overall commander of Dervish horse, since he wasn't named by any of the sub battalions named above, and the sources are from independent mutually exclusive dates and authors. When you couple this with the fact that no other sources describes an overall cavalry commander, then its safe to say that Nur Hedik was overall commander of the Dervish cavalry. Instances when sub-battalions of Dervish cavalry were in action I have explicitly excluded from this page.
Heesxiisoleh (

We can handle alternate spellings in sources but WP:Verifiability means if he's not mentioned by name then it's OR or synth to interpret mentions of the Dervish horsemen as being mentions of him. We need named mentions. And we need content because
WP:MERGEREASON applies "Short text: If a page is very short and is unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time, it often makes sense to merge it with a page on a broader topic" - and then this article will just be a redirect to Dervish or

Guinness323, Thank you for your finds. My concerns are: 1) what makes
reich-der-spiele reliable? The site does call itself an 'online magazine', but it is at the very least niche (it does not have an entry on de wiki). I'd say they are reliable for facts, but does being reviewed in such a niche website help establish notability? I'd actually lean to say yes (treating at as a type of online trade journal with non-anonymous authors and AGFing they have some form of internal reviews - but frankly, they don't say they have them, and maybe they just publish anything their team plays without any internal control, who's to know? I do wonder what
WP:RSN would say...) but 2)
[17] doesn't even have 'about us' section I can see. It also calls itself online magazine, but here, we don't know who writes it. I'd say this source should not be considered for reliability. 3)
[18] this looks very bad. The site used to have a domain at www.spielphase.de but it just redirects to
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/keirat/ now and it looks like someone's personal homepage/blog (authors are Claudia Schlee & Andreas Keirat, and note /keirat'). There is no about. So again, thanks for finding, but while I may be convinced we found one plausibly (but not clearly) reliable review, the other twos are IMHO not reliable (self-published), and GNG does require 2+ good sources... Ps. I don't think there is such an entity as 'virtual game museum Ludomu', it seems like a list on a subpage of the reich-der-spiele magazine. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

weak Keep sources in the article are certainly independent. If the publishers have editorial control is a lot less clear.

Mayor of a town of 5,000 people, sourced only to a full reference work of Portuguese mayors. Fails
WP:POLITICIAN requirements for local politicians. I have searched the name and found a fair few local reports from 2014 about an event in his honour, a
summary news wire from Portugal's state radio about his re-election in 2005 but nothing that shows that his mandate over 5,000 people was extraordinary

Delete. Mayors do not get an automatic free pass over
WP:NPOL just because they exist — the notability test for a mayor requires some actual substance supported by a significant volume of
reliable source coverage to demonstrate his political importance, and is not automatically passed by every mayor just because you single-source his existence to a directory entry in a
primary source.

Keep - the article clearly needs improvement, and to take out all of the Cricket Archive links. However, the article also clearly passes
WP:CRIN by virtue of Naved having played in three List A matches. As usual for cricketers,
WP:GNG is not the relevant standard.

Delete. No
WP:SIGCOV, only wide-ranging databases consisting mostly of scorecards, so also fails
WP:SPORTCRIT. The lack of sources, means we have prose synthesised from scorecards and mostly merely listing statistical detail. NCRIC is notoriously bad as presuming notability for cricketers such as these, with very few domestic T20 appearances and a solitary LA appearance (incidentally this one was in division 2 – and as such, not the "highest level"), and community consensus has shown that more is required than a trivial pass of SNG such as this. wjematherplease leave a message... 13:31, 5 March 2021 (UTC)reply

Delete. No significant coverage so fails
WP:GNG and

"PCB... pit minnows against the big boys". Incidentally, he seems to be generally referred to as "Imran Rind". wjematherplease leave a message... 13:47, 5 March 2021 (UTC)reply

I'd say whatever it takes to fix it to keep this subject on wikipedia as a football player. If merely rewriting, or moving, or recreate, or whatever the proper terminology is, that's fine. He is not a notable person in music and given the fact there is zero RS references I don't see the need for any acknowledgment of it at all, any more than an article on Tom Brady needs to reference that he likes to play golf in his spare time. The edit history log suggests he created his own page to promote his music. So, yeah, the title needs to change from his rapper name to his football name. And if acknowledgment of his music is necessary at all it is not important enough to be in the lede. In fact, I suppose simply deleting the "discography" section and replacing it with a "personal life", using the exact wording you put in the lede, would fix everything. JMO.

A
WP:POVFORK of
Satanic ritual abuse lately worked on by
WP:ADVOCATEs and
WP:ACTIVISTs newly emboldened by the QAnon culture, this particular article relies on extremely poor sources (including not a few by
predatory journals and
WP:SELFPUB) to make a claim that there is a classification of "ritual abuse" which goes beyond the one that is generally used in the context of the moral panic around SRA that held sway in the 1980s and 1990s. The people writing this article seem to be trying to use Wikipedia to push the POV that there is a concerted phenomenon of ritualized child abuse going on in the world. This strikes me as conspiratorial thinking, especially in the context of today's political climate, and is, frankly, a distraction from actual issues related to child trafficking and child abuse.

Comment: The layout is odd and it might be a redundant fork of something - though I haven't investigated and
satanic ritual abuse seems to fit in name only - but the nom's description doesn't match the article. It's been around for years and has hardly changed post-QAnon; it seems to mainly be about superstitious rituals in the developing world like FGM, etc. that are abusive to children. Crossroads-talk- 20:08, 25 February 2021 (UTC)reply
It was started and maintained by students in a WikiEd project... many of whom it looks like were not really being carefully checked in terms of their sourcing and article writing standards. Since then it has been used by certain questionable accounts in, for example, the way it is now featured as a possible disambig at
Ritual Abuse. I am still trying to decide what to do about the account in question who seems to be taken in by some of the conspiracy theories lately swirling around this subject, but a POVFORK can happen whether the authors intended that when they authored the article or not.

Delete I don't think this article has anything to do with QAnon, at least as currently written. The article at the very least appears to be an improper synthesis of numerous unrelated practices that have not been analysed collectively as "ritual child abuse" in the scholarly literature. The article is also poorly written in a way which I don't think is recoverable, so I think
WP:TNT also applies.
Hemiauchenia (

Keep The nomination misrepresents the topic, which is a
broad survey of the various types of child abuse with a customary or traditional nature, such as
Female genital mutilation. The page quotes the UN Secretary-General’s study on violence against children, "In every region, in contradiction to human rights obligations and children’s developmental needs, violence against children is socially approved and is frequently legal and state authorized." That report was written by
Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro who seems to be a respectable expert. If the UN and its experts think that there's a problem which needs reporting on then the matter seems to be quite notable and significant. Wild-eyed theories about satanism and QAnon are something else and best kept separate.
What's probably causing confusion is the word "ritual" in the page's title. Perhaps a title change might make the scope of the topic clearer. For example, here's a book on the topic. Its title suggests an alternative: Harmful Traditional Practices. Note that title changes are performed by a
move, not by deletion.
(Not !voting yet): My first impression is also that the article's name is not ideal.
Here's the initial revision of the WikiEd page. I also see synthesis (acceptable if it was a list-style article with a well defined inclusion criteria) and we obviously have articles about most topics already, explaining how easy it can be considered a POV fork. Apparently the few sources that are not synthesis and directly related to child abuse in the context of institutions or ritual would be old or from non-notable advocacy org(s). As for the Satanic ritual abuse moral panic, while reading a whole page linking practices together reminds of it, I don't see the obvious relation. I also see no outlandish claims of democratic organized Satanic pedophilia associated with conspiracy theorists like QAnon, at least in the current article. —

Drmies seems mistaken or confused. The book I suggested – Harmful Traditional Practices – seems to be both a good fit for the topic and a respectable secondary source. You can read more about it
here. It's from the Palgrave Macmillan imprint of Springer Nature and its authors include "Karl A. Roberts – a consultant for the World Health Organisation, and Professor and Chair of Policing and Criminal Justice at The University of Western Sydney". The work is about "harmful traditional practices: damaging and often violent acts which include female genital mutilation, forced marriage, honour killings and abuse, breast ironing, witchcraft and faith-based abuse." What's wrong with that book?

Not to jump in on this discussion or whatever, but it seems rather torturous to claim that an article about "ritual child abuse" is actually about "harmful traditional practices". I understand that you see a similarity in the content of this page and the chapters of that book and are, I assume, in
good faith arguing for a rename to preserve... something?... you think is worthwhile in the current treatment. But this does feel a little bit to me like bending over backwards to come to the conclusion you always seem to want to come to. Just a little observation from the other side, if you will.

Delete The article is an assorted of non-linked cultural practices of child-rearing, many of which are non-Western cultural practices, whose only connecting tie appears to be the author of the article sees them as problematic and tantamount to overt child abuse. Which could be the case in some matters, but very well may not be in others. And worse labeling them as "ritual child abuse" is highly misleading mislabeling. Swaddling children, for example, has no necessary connection with dowries, which in turn has no necessary connection with FGM: and all three practices are not intrinsically ritualistic. The very phrase Ritual Child Abuse conjures up specific connotations for modern readers, particularly in our present era post-Satanic ritual abuse panics and post-QAnon panics or fears over ritual child abuse (which in fairness the article makes no mention of, and to which I am not connecting it). Lastly the disparate non-connected topics listed here appear to simply have been randomly sourced and largely almost copy-pasted and lightly edited. Some of the sources are good, others problematic, but in all case the article basically looks at a number of cultural practices concerning child raising and simply labels them abusive without any apparnet consistent criteria and then, worse, labels them ritualistic - without any convincing anthropological or sociological context for doing so.

The British Newspaper Archive brings up some references with the initial amid the many false positives, but they seem to be very much WP: MILL, and unlike with players from, say, 30 years ago - the oft-described "black hole" - the BNA has enough papers from this period, including a specialist cricket one, to be representative.

These are the very sort of lazy nominations that have been the norm of late, with "...no coverage found" being the given reason.
This obituary establishes where he was educated and his role as an administrator, both with Essex and the MCC during the Great War. This is in addition to what Johnlp has sourced.

Wisdomwiki 40: to clarify how Wikipedia works. We consider something important (notable) when other independent, reliable, secondary sources discuss a subject. You link to a lot of patents, but those are primary sources that are not independent of the subject - they tell us nothing about notability. Rather, we need to see magazine, newspapers and books that discuss the person. Those sources need to be independent (ie. not paid for or connected to the subject in some way). Reliable (ie. not self-published and known for editorial control). In-depth (not minor or trivial mentions). Multiple sources. Then we can say, yes, this person is notable because other people have decided independently to write about them. --

I understand the topic just fine. The pages in question are presumably bullish about the MOND theory because there has been some recent support for that theory whereas the competing dark matter theory is not doing so well – see New Research Supports ‘Modified Gravity’ Theory, for example. These various theories are not settled and so we should be tolerant and adjust as the science develops. The pages in question are about specific technical details rather than being a straightforward duplicate of some existing page. And even if they were duplicates,
WP:REDUNDANTFORK states that "If the content fork was unjustified, the more recent article should be merged back into the main article." So, what is the reason for holding a deletion discussion?
For another similar case, see
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plate theory (volcanism). Again, there are competing theories and some natural tension between them. My view is that deletion is not appropriate because the science is not settled in that case either. I am not alone in that view and so it goes.
These pages are bullish about MOND because they were just created by a SPA that only cares about saying that MOND is right and dark matter does not exist. There is no recent support for MOND, the idea is as dead as it always was. A fringe group of physicists keep writing the same papers about rotational curves of galaxies, while mainstream cosmologists complete ignore this nonsense.
Tercer (

The above comment is odd as a recent book on MOND has won the PROSE award. So the statement that MOND is not supported or "is dead" is not in agreement with the facts. Physicists do not write about MOND, but there are a number of astronomers considering the predictions of MOND as they apply to the rotation curves (not rotational) of galaxies.

Nowhere in either of these articles is it claimed that MOND "has been proven to be true". All that is stated, is that the observational confirmation of the MONDian predictions lends support to the theory. There is nothing that is in the least controversial about such a statement. With regard to "spinoffs": there is a crucial distinction that is being missed here. Both relations under discussion (MASSR, RAR) are novel predictions of Milgrom's theory. The Tully-Fisher relation is a purely empirical relation that is not predicted by any theory. The ability of MOND to make successful novel predictions sets it quite apart from dark-matter theories, including from the standard cosmological model. This is stated clearly in the references, especially the book by Merritt (2020). The successful prediction of these two relations by Milgrom's theory is a watershed event in cosmology and both relations fully deserve their own entry.

Oh no, they don't? Let's see in
Radial acceleration relation: Milgrom's prediction has been confirmed by observational studies. Confirmation of the prediction demonstrates that the internal kinematics of spiral galaxies are predictable based on the distribution of the visible mass alone, which adds support to the hypothesis that dark matter does not exist. Also The results are striking: in virtually every galaxy yet studied in this way, Milgrom's theory correctly predicts the observed rotation curve.[5] No algorithm capable of doing this has yet been presented under the standard cosmological model. And the fact that Milgrom's theory correctly predicts the relation without any adjustment of parameters means that the existence of the RAR provides stronger support for MOND than for the standard cosmological model.. Pretty strident in my book. Let's take a look at
Mass-asymptotic speed relation then. The relation was first predicted by Mordehai Milgrom in 1983; it was confirmed in a number of observational studies about twenty years later. and then Confirmation of Milgrom's prediction lends support to the idea that dark matter does not exist. Also The most recent studies have verified that the observed BTFR has all the properties predicted by Milgrom's MASSR and Milgrom's explanation of the rotation curve anomaly satisfies this condition by virtue of successfully predicting the MASSR/BTFR. By contrast, explanation of the rotation-curve anomaly under the standard cosmological model is ad hoc:. At this rate I'm just quoting the entire articles, so I'll stop.
Most importantly, what you are saying is controversial: these are not predictions of MOND, these are particular cases of the rotational curve of galaxies that MOND was designed to fit. It's entirely unsurprising that MOND can fit them somewhat. What you are claiming was an watershed event in cosmology was entirely unnoticed by mainstream cosmologists, who kept ignoring MOND as they always have.

Some quick bibliometry: at least 80% of papers that use the term "radial acceleration relation" mention MOND specifically.

Question Actually two questions:
Didn't Milgrom formulate MOND to explain the observed galaxy rotation curves, i.e. the fact that MOND explains these aren't actually a prediction but a postdiction?
What exactly are the radial acceleration relation & the mass-asymptotic speed relation? The RAR article says it is "a relation between the centripetal acceleration, V2/R, of a star orbiting in a disk (or spiral) galaxy, and the gravitational acceleration due to the matter in the galaxy", while the MASR article says it is "a predicted relation between the total mass of a disk (or spiral) galaxy, and its large-radius rotation speed". How are these two topics distinct from
galaxy rotation curve?
Banedon (
talk) 01:53, 26 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Yes, it's a straightforward postdiction. The "discovery" these papers are claiming is that the fit between MOND and the observations is really really good, and that such a good fit can't be explained by ΛCDM. Ignoring the fact that the fit doesn't work at all for galaxy clusters, and that ΛCDM can account very well for the correlation
[29][30][31][32].
They are not distinct. MASR is just the rotation speed at a large distance from the centre, that is, a single point from the galaxy rotation curve. The radial acceleration relation is just a different way of presenting the discrepancy between the observed rotational velocity and the one predicted from baryonic matter alone; instead of plotting velocity versus radius they plot observed acceleration versus predicted acceleration.
Tercer (

Keep. The argument to delete this page is that it is the same as MOND. This is not correct. The radial acceleration relation is an empirical relation that is observed to exist. It exists independent of any theoretical consideration specific to MOND. The paper establishing the radial acceleration relation as an empirical entity
[33] was refereed and published in the premier journal of physics (Physical Review Letters) and has been cited 284 times according to
[34]. This places it in the top percentile of citation rate: most papers in the field do not have anything like this kind of impact on other refereed publications. This is a good indication that the scientific community takes the radial acceleration relation seriously irrespective of whether that is also true for the theory MOND. — Preceding

Tercer (

McGaugh and Schombert (see comment above) are authors of the RAR discovery paper (PRL cited above) along with Lelli. We repeat our emphasis that the RAR is neither a pro or con MOND discovery. It is an empirical relation outlining the coupling between baryons and dark matter. It is also a fact that no current proposal for a dark matter particle predicts this coupling. This allows us to entertain other explanations for the origin of flat rotation curves. We are not the authors of the RAR entry, but we are experts in this area. Is it a COI to have experts weight in on a topic that we are very familiar with? Do you have a response to Stacy's statement that the RAR discovery is one of the most highly cited articles in a peer review journal? This discovery does threaten the cold dark matter paradigm, that does not seem a sufficient reason for deletion.

Tercer (

Lean delete looking at the PRL paper this is a genuine empirical relation, but it is not intrinsically related to MOND. In particular, per this paper
[35], "Almost immediately after McGaugh, Lelli & Schombert (2016) published their RAR relation paper, Keller & Wadsley (2017) responded by demonstrating that a similar relation can be obtained using ΛCDM hydrodynamic simulations of disk galaxies". So the relation is not the compelling argument in favor of MOND the article makes it out to be. The article could be keepable if and only if it is greatly rewritten to emphasize what the relation is, and what the competing explanations are.
Banedon (
talk) 02:49, 27 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Keep I have to strenuously disagree both with
Tercer and
Banedon. (i) The RAR is a bona-fide, prior prediction of MOND. The RAR relation was not known to exist before MOND predicted it, and its observational confirmation came as a surprise. (ii) The MOND theory was definitely not designed or constructed to reproduce the RAR relation, or, for that matter, rotation curves in general. (iii) There is a qualitative difference between confirming a theory, and confirming a prediction of a theory. Example: Einstein’s theory predicts the bending of starlight; the prediction was observationally confirmed; and that fact constitutes support for (NOT proof of) Einstein’s theory. In precisely the same way, Milgrom’s theory predicts the RAR; the prediction was observationally confirmed; and that fact constitutes support for (NOT proof of) MOND. The article as written makes this distinction quite clearly.
Tercer, in particular, does not seem to appreciate this important distinction. (iv) There is also an important qualitative distinction between using a theory to make a prior prediction, and adjusting a theory, after the fact, to explain an observation. MOND does the former with respect to the RAR. The Keller & Wadsley paper cited by
Banedon does, at best, the latter. As the RAR article correctly points out, the former is generally considered to be much more compelling support for a theory than the latter. I agree with
James Schombert and
Mcgaugh: given its citation record, the RAR is an extremely significant result (whether considered as a theoretical prediction, or an observed fact) and absolutely deserves its own page. If
Tercer and
Banedon are unhappy about the existence of a relation that was successfully predicted by a non-standard theory, my advice is: Get over it!
Jeremygoodman (
talk) 18:17, 27 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Now what on Earth are you talking about? Milgrom's original paper was explicitly about explaining the rotation curves of galaxies. Also, the RAR cannot possibly be a prediction of MOND, because it directly follows from the rotation curves. Milgrom himself said as much
[36]: Given that this formula had already been shown to reproduce correctly the observed rotation curves from the baryon distribution (as a MOND effect), it must have been clear, a priory, that it should describe correctly the MDAR, which is but a summary of rotation curves.
I'm also very curious to know how, after not editing Wikipedia for 7 years, you came across this AfD.
Tercer (

KEEP I don't think it's the job of Wikipedia editors to decide whether or not MOND is dead. If the idea was discussed in papers published in respected peer-reviewed journals, then it is notable. That notability doesn't go away even if the theory is later discredited. After all, there's a Wikipedia article on
Lamarckism. If the tone of the article does not seem neutral, or if it ignores later developments that disprove the idea, then the page should be modified, or maybe merged, but not deleted.

Radial acceleration relation and
Mass-asymptotic speed relation should be deleted. Not because MOND is dead, but because they are stridently saying that MOND is true, whereas the
MOND article notes correctly that it is a minority opinion in physics. This constitutes a

Delete I don't see a reason for Radial acceleration relation to be a separate article from MOND if the relation forms a core argument for the existence of the theory. It should be discussed in the MOND article with context and crticism, and has no evidence of separate notability from MOND. The Mass-asymptotic speed relation article has no reason to exist either, as the topic is literally the exact same as the Tully–Fisher relation, making it by almost any definition a POVFORK.
Hemiauchenia (

Delete the article on
Mass-asymptotic speed relation, since this is not sufficiently different from the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation to justify a separate article. For the
Radial acceleration relation article, I would lean towards keep, since this relation has been the subject of some highly cited papers, which gives evidence for notability. And, it has also been discussed and interpreted in the Lambda-CDM context (
here's a new preprint that I just saw, and the introduction section gives a good overview), so it has some broader utility beyond its connection to MOND. But, if the RAR article is kept, it should be reduced to a stub and then rewritten from scratch with a focus on NPOV. The way the article is currently written has serious NPOV problems.

this article which states the following: Adaka Tea, which features Ateaa Tina, was released in 2003 from the album, “Bubra”. The song is referred to as "one of the most popular Daddy Lumba songs of all time." That tells us notability is there, and all we need to do is find the sources.

Yeah, so...have you researched Newspaper archives for that country, or do they have such a thing so we can see what recognition she was given over the years? Is what you're saying basically that, despite her being a major contributor to popular songs as a female back-up vocalist for a popular male singer, who is notable enough to have his own article, that she isn't notable enough for a WP article because she is not as "famous" as the "star singer"?? Is that what you're saying? I don't understand why you want this BLP deleted because we do have readers who are interested in seeing the "team" that made some of these song popular - be it in their country or globally. Certainly you realize that back in the day, women simply didn't get recognition, and that as WP editors, we apply common sense to our PAGs (and sometimes IAR) to determine if a BLP, such as this one, is verifiably DUE. She played an integral role in the "star's" popular songs, which certainly warrants an article, considering what all is involved. I couldn't help but compare it to athletes who simply showed up for a major league game - all they have to do is qualify - or maybe play in one or two games - and that warrants a separate article. If you're telling me that there is absolutely, positively no chance we will find sources that we can cite that will satisfy WP:V and/or corroborate that she was actually a recorded artist (back-up vocalist) on any of the songs that were considered the singer's hits, then I will agree with you, and will change my position. At this point in time, I don't agree that is the case - but I'm certainly open-minded to it if you can provide a convincing argument.

Delete GNG is the standard for everything. The cricket notability guidelines are absurd, "first class" matches are too common, and playing in 1 should no more make a person notable than having a significant role in just one notable film makes someone notable. Note that being on the field for a team for part of a game does not mean the player actually did anything significant, so even that comparison is flawed, but if actors and actresses need multiple apperances we should demand the same of sportspeople. Especially since the top sports people have played in way more games than top actors and actresses have been in notable productions. So the one game threshold is just plain absurd.

WP:NACTOR as he has only played minor roles in a few films. The references are all paid and routine announcement.
Ref #1 The clarity on the Forbes article is crystal as "brand connect" articles are paid for press and even has a disclaimer at the bottom stating Disclaimer: The views, suggestions and opinions expressed here are the sole responsibility of the experts.

Article creator's stated rationale is the recent creation of a game trophy.
[37]WP:Recentism aside, per
WP:Notability and
WP:SIGCOV, there are not multiple, independent
WP:RS citations which support a claim that there is football rivalry (game) between these two teams. While games in the football series date to 1892, we do not manifest these as rivalry articles for every long-played and routine series between conference opponents.
UW Dawgs (

I would argue that the announcement from the two universities and the Big Ten Conference of a rivalry game should supersede any other criteria for a rivalry game. I would also point out the fact that there is an
Illinois-Michigan football series page, which is not a rivalry article, rather a routine series. If that page is allowed to stay on Wikipedia, so should the page of an announced rivalry game, as should my edits on the pages of the schools in question.
SilverPlacebo15 (

That other things that have articles are maybe also not rivalries doesn't mean this is one,
SilverPlacebo15. What I sense here is a desire to have just about every game be an instance of a rivalry, something that is no doubt happily played up by sources such as ESPN because it generates clicks and views. Oh! It's a rivalry! Which is why RECENTISM applies--because we need to look at the long term.
Drmies (

I disagree with that premise... you don't just see Michigan go and make a rivalry trophy with Rutgers/Maryland/Penn State just because they joined the Big Ten, or even with Indiana or Illinois with which they surely have significant history. That a program as historically significant to the history of college football as Michigan declared Northwestern to be a rival is relevant IMO. There are many historically relevant games in the series history as well. Also, if there are articles that are not rivalries, why are they not flagged for deletion, but this one is? That doesn't make sense to me. Surely Michigan/Northwestern is more of a significant rivalry than the
Civil Conflict, which was literally a joke amongst the sports world.
SilverPlacebo15 (

Keep: I truly believe that the fact that both schools[1][2](not just one) and the Big Ten Conference (see commissioner
Kevin Warren's statement in either article) recognize the series as a rivalry should allow it to remain on Wikipedia. Notice in the statements how both schools refer to the game as a "rivalry", and not just a "series". It's not like one school or a media organization made up the rivalry to be relevant. The rivalry was created to honor a pioneer in
George Jewett who played for both storied programs and have had many historically significant games over the past 129 years.

Keep: or at the very least, draftify. Honestly, I am convinced by the page creator's arguments and am not a fan that this article was AfD'd a mere two hours after its creation while it was still a stub. RECENT is not a policy-based criterion for deletion, and in fact, I believe it works against deletion in this context: [B]y documenting timely material with reliable sources at the outset, more permanent sources will hopefully be found and used later. I thought of proposing a redirect to a page for the trophy, but am noticing that trophies tend to redirect to what else? The main rivalry page. The sourcing on the trophy is quality, and it seems not unreasonable (blah blah CRYSTAL) that better sources will follow.

Delete per nom. The series is just too lopsided for there to be anything more than a feeble token shadow of a wisp of a rivalry. As the nom has noted, the only news of this so-called rivalry is the unveiling of a trophy commemorating it. The fact that other Big Ten rivalry articles exist may just indicate that some of them should go too. In any case,
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is no argument to make.

As per my original arguments, there are many other lopsided rivalry series as well, even more lopsided than the Michigan-Northwestern series. I believe that the fact that both schools and the Big Ten (check my references) refer to the game as a rivalry suggests that there is more than a mere series between conference opponents. I would also like to keep building this page as I learn more about the history between the two schools. Who knows, with the trajectory of the programs, the series may well tighten (I say this as a Michigan student and fan). (

Keep. In addition to the recent coverage of the Jewett Trophy, there is actually a lot of interesting history here. From the 1910s through the 1930s, Northwestern dominated this series, including a 1925 game that cost Michigan the national championship. The series also had a fiercely competitive period during
Ara Parseghian's tenure as head coach (1956–1963). If this is kept, I'd be happy to help improve it and build it out.
Cbl62 (
talk) 21:41, 25 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Agreed
Cbl62, there are many games that can be reference to make a point that there is much more than a mere series between conference opponents. For example, Northwestern won the first game between the two programs in 1892 against a Michigan program that was the premier football program at the time. Another game could be in 1995, where an upset of #7 Michigan sprung the Wildcats on a path to their first Big Ten title since 1936. In addition, it was Northwestern's first win against Michigan in 30 years (since 1965). Similar upsets occurred in 1996 and 2000 as upsets of Michigan were key in Northwestern's only three Big Ten titles in the
AP Poll era. (

Comment If this is a football rivalry, coverage specific to that topic sufficient to pass the
WP:GNG guideline needs to be located per
WP:SIGCOV (A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject). In this case, such independent coverage and citations about the topic might include coverage of memorable games played in the rivalry, callouts of memorable events or plays in the rivalry, players and coaches discussing the rivalry, quotes about the rivalry, reporting of W-L records of coaches within the rivalry, and similar content which is directly framed as a football rivalry.
Conversely, some good-faith
WP:Other stuff exists arguments and edits are conflating routine content surrounding games and scores, the actions of individual players, and similar with the immediate need to clearly demonstrate the notability of the article's topic. This can have the appearance of
WP:Synthesis and create
Wikipedia:Coatrack articles, due to not establishing the notability of their topic. Today's news cycle driven by the press releases of the two universities about their new trophy may or may not mean that new trophy already passes GNG. We have
Category:College football rivalry trophies in the United States and a naming convention for those (non-rivalry) articles which fail to establish notability as a rivalry.

I didn't read the other responses before I voted, but my gut says the trophy will probably qualify for an article at some point if it doesn't already (and if it doesn't I'd be fine with keeping it), but I'd want a lot of the overview to be cut down and be specific to the trophy.

Article about an American actress which is tagged for notability since 2019.
Shimarin placed the tag on the article. He is also active at the Hungarian wiki, just like me. But anyways, she seems cute and all, but I don't think that she is notable. The presented sources are either about the game or an interview with the founder. Sarah gets mentioned marginally in all of them, but I think that's not enough. During a Google search I only found the following: fandom wiki, databases, fansites, quotations, and a (repetitive) article about her collecting money to pay her medical bills. I am not satisfied. So yeah, I think Ms. Sarah is not notable, but as always, I am happy to be proven wrong.

Draftify I agree that the article is written like an ad, though that doesn't have much impact on whether the subject is notable. And yes, most of the coverage, even in reliable sources, isn't much more than run of the mill content. I have found this article from a Belorussian newspaper
[55] which discusses the phenomenon of hyper-casual games in the country with reference to Playgendary. While they have a quote from the company's CEO, I think the article overall amounts to significant and independent coverage. Together with the first Pocket Gamer piece, we might have enough coverage to say
WP:NCORP is met. Overall, I suspect that there will be more coverage in the Belorussian media since the company seems to be quite prominent in the country's gaming industry.

Modussiccandi, thanks for the ping. Unfortunately, these sources don't convince me. All three briefly discuss the contemporary popularity of some of the company's games; the latter two appear to be about the same App Annie ranking.
WP:RUNOFTHEMILL likely still applies as well. From what I can see, we do not have enough information in reliable sources to write a decent (even if short) article about the company itself, rather than a bunch of its games. The raw number of reliable citations where the company is mentioned (currently 7) is ultimately irrelevant. Do you think it would be wise to aim for draft incubation first, potentially allowing the discovery of sources outside the AfD process?
IceWelder [

IceWelder I would not at all be opposed to moving this to draft. The company seems significant enough to generate the coverage required, but even I agree that currently its notability is borderline at most.

I think that you have the probability of being Wiki-notable at some point, and the article should be kept around and updated until that point is reached.Also, may I say that it's not considered to be good form for the author of an article -- who in this case is also the subject of the article -- to answer every comment by other editors at AfD. We call it
WP:BLUDGEONing. I don't think you're there yet, but you will be if you continue to respond as you are now. This is a community process, you should let the discussion run to a decision -- it's highly unlikely that anything you say at this point is going to change the course of events.My advice to you is copy the article and keep it off-Wiki, in case it doesn't get draftified, and bring it back once the situation has substantially changed, that is, when you have more experience under your belt, and more media coverage. Good luck!

Comment-This article captures the life, and political contribution of recently passed Mr Akram Hosen Mandal, a political leader and a former union parishad chairman from Bangladesh’s Haluaghat who was elected repeatedly three times for his honesty, integrity and commitment for the people and the land. I strongly believe the world, especially the young generations of Bangladesh and the South Asia deserve knowledge and information about Mr Akram Hosen Mandal. Mr Akram Hosen Mandal’s contribution to organise refugee camps during Bangladesh’s liberation war, his strong active role in leading successful general strikes during military rule and many other aspects of his life should be part of public knowledge and the history. IT would possibly be an injustice if this article is deleted from the Wikipedia. As it is my first article draft for Wikipedia, I understand unintentional mistakes can happen during the article drafting or editing. I am happy to hear about, and address the mistakes, insufficiencies and inadequacies of this article. If you kindly inform me the problems or insufficiencies it will be a generosity and I will then try to address the identified issues as much as possible. I will eagerly wait to hear from you. Thank you all for your support, cooperation and generosity to allow me with opportunities to improve the quality of the article. — Preceding

The use of the phrase ‘non-notable local politician’ by a Wikipedia reviewer was a highly problematic comment. It devalued and marginalised the people with significance from rural, remote, non-urban areas and subaltern communities. The comment provided was very elitist in nature.
The article that I have been drafting is still in a very raw or work-in-progress stage and it is within my plan to gradually work towards it's completion with sufficient citation and referencing, with objective language and tone use and many other stages of academic and professional writing exercise. Identifying and levelling an article for deletion at an early stage of writing is not a good practice, I must say. You need to give time to people to build their content, to build their article first.
I initiated this write up neither from a fan's points of view, not I am writing an obituary. My subject has spent a life with significance and his legacies, his historical roles ( history is not only about kings, queens and urban intellectuals, politicians and celebrities history is also about people like my subject- making or changing processes and the nature of politics in the grassroots, in the machines, in the peripheries) to be documented for world’s future generations. You may argue that my subject person Mr Akram Hosen Mandal’s name or contribution not already available in a lot of media. In relation to this I must say you need to consider the context, the time, the area where and when Mr Akram Hosen Mandal made his significant political contributions- he worked in a prior to the Internet time, in a remote and rural area. You cannot expect available of a wide range of published materials in relation to a people like him. There are hundreds and thousands of people with significant contributions to public life and humanity in this world who are still not captured in the lenses of visual media or academic or media write-ups. That doesn't mean we don't have an evidence base or references to support the creation or completion of Wikipedia entries on these persons. We need to move beyond the conventional and narrow definition of evidence. To understand and document you just cannot rely merely on previously published write-ups. If you only look for previously available published work on a person or subject how public knowledge will be created and further expanded?
The point that I wish to make is straightforward: we need to provide sufficient time, direction, support and cooperation to me or other Wikipedia contributors before sudden levelling or stereotyping a work-in-progress or draft article for deletion. The article that I have been building will ultimately be a well researched, well-cited and objective Wikipedia entry. We need time for that. There should not be any unnecessary rush.
Will you disclose any relationship you have with the subject per our policy. I am noting the fact that you share the same surname. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not an indiscriminate list of people. As such we have guidelines and rules on who qualify for an article. His position does not give him a pass on notability guidelines so we have to see if there is adequate coverage in reliable sources, there isn't. Wikipedia job is not to represented underappreciated people; if you want to highlight his success than might I recommend writing a blog or a news article? Is the topic notable? The answer is not; it does not have the required sources. Just because someone is not notable per Wikipedia guidelines does not diminish them or their legacy. Please read
Wikipedia:Notability (people).

As I said before, the article is at the draft or work-in-progress stage at this point.
Systematic research and writing processes will be undertaken and applied involving all the stakeholders and information sources to progressively improve the quality, content, accuracy, objectivity and referencing.
I am keen to contribute to the Wikipedia community. As an anthropologist and social scientist I will be very interest to make solid intellectual and professional contribution to the Wikipedia community.
I commenced writing this particular article as an anthropologist and social scientist. How local politics, local figures and local experiences contribute to shaping the global agenda is an exciting area to discuss and debate. Conventional understanding about ‘notable person’ is very problematic.
Delete The topic has not been shown to be
notable (to meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria). Unless that circumstance changes within the next few days, the article will not be kept.
In principle, non-notable subjects could always be draftified/userfied in the hope that some day research will unearth adequate sources, or that more will be written about the subject, or that Wikipedia will radically loosen its inclusion criteria. But a
union parishad chairman who did not go on to higher office has never been the subject of a stand alone Wikipedia biography, and long experience has taught that the odds of that changing are vanishingly small. It would be more unkind to give the author the false hope that this topic might ever be accepted than it would be to delete it. The author would be better advised to consider
alternative outlets for what they want to write about Mandal.
If there were an article about
Haluaghat Union, Mandal's name could be included in a list of chairpersons, and this title redirected there. The only other redirect target I can see would be his brother,
Kudratullah Mandal. I don't think that's a good target, but others may disagree. There is no non-duplicative content worth merging anywhere. --

Hi thanks all for sharing your perspectives and thoughts.
This article was written with the intention to capture the life and contributions of Mr Akram Hosen Mandal as a politician. His role as a union parishad chairman for three terms (you will see the union parishad website referred only two terms, in reality he served for three terms- this reflects limitations of conventional referencing based on electronically available references only) is only one aspect of his rewarding career. I was keen primarily to capture his solid political contributions in a wide range of areas that includes contributions during the Bangladesh’s war of independence in 1971, his contributions in mobilizing the protest in the border land areas after the killing of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and family in post 1975 political unrest, mr Akram Hosen Mandal’s solid contributions to oppose and challenge to the military regime of general Ershad through successful leading of hartals, strikes, protests and mass mobilisations in one of which he luckily escaped the sword by jumping into a waste water full pond while his sons and his pro democracy supporters were brutally tortured and arrested. The news was the main headline item of that day in the BBC Bangla. He donated his personal land for establishing a college which is now the largest college in Haluaghat and would possibly get a separate Wikipedia entry in the future. The greatest of all role Akram Mandal served in his life is the promotion, leading and maintenance of community harmony and peaceful inter-ethnic, inter-cultural, inter-faith relationships in a challenging context of rural, remote, regional borderland areas where hindu, muslims, christians and garo indigenous peoples live, and challenging time when Bengali settlers were dumped by military rule and also during the post babri mosque destruction. He was the person who constantly connected and acted as a bridge, as a glue between people of different communities, cultures and religions.
Narrowing a politician with a wide range of political and social contributions merely into a ‘union parishad chairman’ and then labeling or stereotyping as a ‘non-notable subject’ and then making sudden decision for deletion of a article which is in its initial drafting stage is a very immature, rigid, closed and problematic approach that doesn’t support ongoing progression and evolvement of public knowledge for our future generations. A union parishad chairman can’t be a notable subject or a union parishad chairman has limited opportunities to be a notable person are problematic assumptions with very elitist worldview and supports dominant representation of union parishad chairman’s in the conventional dominant media or discourse. The approach of directly linking an union parishad chairman with ‘non-notable’ subject is neither dynamic nor historical. This approach does not see the ways the importance of different professions, including union parishad chairman, changes over time and throughout the history.
Thank you for your ongoing considerations to support future improvement of this article. — Preceding

Weak Keep Looking at the French article gave me access to a few more sources, and I was able to find a couple others on my own. Some of it is just the basic type of article where they say an event is happening, but some provide analysis of both the art market and the fair's effect on it, as well as discussion of the art in the fair itself. It's not a ton of coverage, but I also have a limited ability to search for sources in French. I'm not terribly bothered if it's deleted, but I think there's some notability there.

The school also offers a Ph.D (Doctor of Philosophy)... But in any case, professional degrees are as valid as general degrees. They are not simply "trade certifications/industry group certifications" as you allege above, but degrees! According to the article, it grants BTech, BPharm, MPharm, MCA, MBA and PhD. Every one of those is a recognised degree, not a trade certification. These (plus others) are confirmed by the college's website. --

I see the article makes such a claim, but the present website for the instituition has dropped that claim:

both those references are promotional interviews, the sort of interview where the interviewer asks leading questions, and the subject of the interview says whatever they please about themselves.

Even otherwise good papers do this, and it essentially means we cannot trust as independent sources anything in a news source which does not clearly indicate independent reporting with editorial control. Even the NYT does this sort of promotion and even more blatant choice of products to include in its style pages. It always did, but they're harder to distinguish in the online version.

Other language are maybe mildly of concern but something to bear in mind. If the article in English is deleted, the pages in the other languages will continue. Odd? These pages in other languages help with defining the term, when the word or words to be used, how to translate the idea or ideas, is not entirely obvious. So keeping the page in English indirectly helps the other languages, some of them like Irish, fighting to survive.
TGcoa (

TGcoa, it doesn't matter. The English language is not the backbone of others. If someone on the Irish WP starts an AFD because it is deleted in English, and there's no right reason to delete it there, then it should be kept there, but not here. Common rookie mistake, nothing to fear. GeraldWL 14:50, 4 March 2021 (UTC)reply

Biography of a person notable primarily as mayor of a smallish city, not
properly referenced as passing
WP:NPOL #2. Mayors are not handed an automatic notability freebie just because they're minimally verifiable as having existed -- the notability test for a mayor requires the ability to write a substantive article about his political significance: specific things he did, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But this features essentially none of that, and with the only sources being a blurb's worth of information in a local history book and an undergraduate history essay by a student at the local university, it doesn't cite nearly enough coverage to deem him as passing
WP:GNG in lieu of having to satisfy the notability criteria for mayors.

WP:MULTSOURCES, the subject should be covered by multiple sources (different publishers), and I do not think one publisher (the Hindu) covering the school is enough. Another thing, I am still thinking about whether being the first in something calls for an exception. ~

Keep - per
WP:HEY as it is a weak keep, but for gazetteer subjects like schools, that should be enough. IMO, there's been way too much deletion of gazetteer subjects over the last year. It does bear note that the range of available sources doesn't end at the same place Google does. That applies even more in parts of the world where data digitalization hasn't got as far as it has in others and contributes to systemic bias on Wikipedia.

Delete This fails the notability guidelines due to lacking multiple, independent, in-depth reliable sources about it. As far as the "systemic bias" thing goes, about 55% of Kerala where this school is located has access to the internet and it's the 13th largest state in India. Which is on par or better then a lot of places in more "developed" countries like America. So, I don't think it's an issue in this case. Otherwise, it wouldn't be acceptable to delete an article on anything in India. Maybe if the population and (or) the percentage of people who have access to the internet was smaller there, but it's hard to make a case for the potential of bias being the cause of lacking sourcing when when the place has over 15 million people connected to the internet. More then likely there's no good sourcing because this school just isn't notable for anything. --

The school is notable for being the first girl's school in India, which is asserted in the sources I've provided above. There's also several books which cover or mention the subject. "Polity, Society and Women" has a three page section on the missionary family who started the school under the heading "Women's Education in North Travancore," which states that the founder of the school was the pioneer of girl's education in North Travancore. There are more sources discussing the school, but unfortunately I don't have the ability to get my hands on a lot of the books that cover it. There's another book called "Above the Heron's Pool" that covers the family and the school, but the only places I can see that have it are a few scattered college libraries.
ScottishFinnishRadish (

For the systemic bias point, I think there are more factors affecting the bias than just the Internet penetration rate, so even with a relatively high Internet penetration rate, there is likely still significant systematic bias due to other factors. ~
Ase1estecharge-paritytime 03:28, 18 February 2021 (UTC)reply
Putting aside the internet penetration rate, according to ScottishFinnishRadish there's more sources that discuss this then a lot of high schools in the United States. So, how exactly does systematic bias play into this particular AfD then? You can't have it both ways where there are supposedly multiple sources that discuss it (enough for it to be notable), but then also "oh yeah and systematic bias if those aren't good enough." Doing this fairly, you have a source that discusses the missionary family who started the school. Which likely wouldn't be usable due to not being directly about the subject if it was an AfD for a school somewhere else. So, how does it suddenly become usable in this case "because systematic bias"? In other words, "systematic bias" works as an argument against deletion when it can be used as a reason for there being no or hardly any sources. Not when it comes to situations where there are sources, but they just aren't up to the standards though. --

Reading the first mention of systematic bias, which is from 174.254.192.137(
talk·contribs·WHOIS), the IP states that deletion of this article contributes to systematic bias, and systematic bias is bad, so instead we should avoid deletion of this article to avoid contributing systematic bias. As far as I can see in the guidelines for

Mainly because the sources as clearly in the article obviously up to par. Just to give a breakdown, two references are from government sources and are therefore not independent of the subject. Plus they are rather trivial. Two sources are not even about the school. Therefore they do not address it directly or in-depth as is required. The only might work, "ADDRESS AT THE BICENTENARY CELEBBRATIONS OF BAKER MEMORIAL GIRLS’ HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL AT KOTTAYAM", doesn't because it is a non-neutral blog post.

Notability is not inherited so the fact that some colleges might have a notable stadium does not mean that all college stadiums across the entire USA are automatically notable. Your assertion that we are singling this one stadium out is also false as there have been at least six up for AfD recently and that's just the US ones. There have also been many Spanish non-notable stadiums up for deletion with the exact same rationale, which is that there is simply no evidence that they meet GNG or NBUILD. This discussion is about this particular stadium so unless someone can prove that this stadium meets criteria, it is not notable.

The other 3 are simple mentions of the field, two in articles about games played about the field, and another regarding the donation the field's namesake made to the university.

This temple of the LDS Church does not yet exist and is not under construction. Where it will be built is still unknown. The entire basis of the article is that the president of the LDS Church stated in 2018 that the church would build a temple in Russia. That's it – that's all we have.

I had added it prior to understanding whats been generally considered a standard in recent years (only temples completed or under construction). So because of this, I agree with the nomination for deletion if that's the consensus. That being said, almost all temples announced over the pulplet go to groundbreaking within a few years. Announced temples not being built is so rare that all 4 announced temples that were never built have wikipedia articles. The Russia Temple is the first and so far only temple announced by the LDS Church without a named city, making the Russia Temple unique among other announced temples. As for it being renamed, some dedicated, operating temples gets renamed every so often.

Harrison New York Temple.
Good Ol’factory(talk) 01:19, 26 February 2021 (UTC)reply
good observation. The
Harrison New York Temple is also the only one that efforts were suspended since the 1830s. Again, suspension of efforts are rare. In the 1830s it was due to the members being forced from their land. For Harrison, it's likely because of significant delays due to community opposition and the announcement of the Manhattan Temple. The remainder (more than 97% of all temples, and more than 99% of those announced post-1830s) were built and put in operation. Unlike individual congregational church buildings and
stake centers that dot each temple district, a temple was built as a centerpiece to a LDS Community or a building that adherent members
pilgrimage to in areas further out (which would be the case for the Russia Temple). As I mentioned before, I’m perfectly ok with the removal of the page if that’s the consensus, I just want to make sure everything is taken into consideration prior to the removal of the page.

Keep - per Julles comment and source available in the article. I think this is just within the threshold for inclusion.

Keep. I've now read Särlingskap och konstnärsmyt (Dahlström, 2002) as well as Dahlström's short chapter on Alfredsson in Okända mästare : Skulptur på egna vägar (2008, ed. Olle Nessle) and expanded the article somewhat as well as added them to support existing statements. I'm guessing the text on Alfredsson in En hôger Sellere which was the one source in the article earlier depends a lot on Dahlström, it seems to say very similar things. Additiontally,
sv:Kerstin Högstrand wrote an article about Alfredsson in Värmländsk kultur 16:4, 1995, "Mannen med tidspistolen : om bonden, snickaren och skulptören Ture Alfredsson, Sillerud", which I don't have access to right now. In total, this means that we have a) a number of good, reliable sources from more than person, b) that the texts focus on Alfredsson specifically, at length – he's not merely mentioned in passing – and c) that they cover a significant span of time: He died in 1984, yet these texts are written between 1995 and 2011, signifying enduring interest in his life and art. Having looked into this, I'd say he passes
WP:GNG; Alfredsson seems to have become, to some degree, a symbol of this kind of art. /

@
Julle: how long, approximately, would you say these texts are?

Also, I know we do not go by other stuff here, but if one wants to see what an article for a notable rural folk artist looks like, see
Maud Lewis. There is no need there to scour the attic for sourcing as is being done here.

Eight pages on Alfredsson in Dahlström's dissertation, Särlingskap och konstnärsmyt, four in Okända mästare : Skulptur på egna vägar, five in Högstrand's article in Värmländsk kultur. I've no access to En hôger Sellere, the book which this article was based on before I did my additions, so I don't know how long that text is.
"Several books, plays and films have since been produced about her", says the article on Maud Lewis. This is true for a very small minority of our biographies: it's not our threshold for inclusion, nor do I think it should be: we build articles on less. /

Keep per Julle (AGF on the existence of these sources)

Keep – in my view the sources described by Julle are sufficient to pass GNG.

Keep, meets
WP:GNG with coverage, and not just mentions, in multiple
sources as brought out by
Julle above, article has been improved to reflect this.
