I don't know much about Australian radiojournalism, but I couldn't find a great deal about him and the one provided source for this BLP says that he was fired for uttering a racial slur on the air. This doesn't seem like enough to establish notability and a BLP requires much better references than what's provided.

Weak keep: I agree with the OP's criticisms so I've made significant changes to the page in an attempt to meet
WP:GNG, although it's still a weak page. I could only find a couple of sources online, both relating to the successful unfair dismissal claim; and a handful via a ProQuest database search of Australian and New Zealand newspapers (deeper and broader than Google) although most are from a regional newspaper, the Illawarra Mercury. The page now arguably passes
WP:GNG.

PROD removed with "multiple secondary independent sources discuss this film", but the sources cited are a link to a trailer, an article announcing the film and saying it "might" be a remake (but its more of a promotional article), and the third one just talks about it going to streaming platform.
Nothing else was found, no reviews, etc.
Since it's not released yet, it might be best to move it to DRAFT until release and see if any reviews appear at that point.

Strong Keep The film is greatly looked forward as the Lady superstar of Tamil Industry Nayanthara comes in a lead role. She has a huge fan following and so her films. The film is the remake of the super hit Korean film, Blind. Kross Pictures, an international film production company, which take initiative in bringing Korean films to India is the co-producer of the film. The film is going to be released through the OTT Platform, Disney+Hotstar very recently. So I give a strong keep for this film. But I do agree to the point that the article didn't have enough citations. Hence I am making many changes - adding references and more content to the article and hence voting a Strong Keep for the film.
Reference which is a link to the trailer has been removed and the References which talks about producer and co-producer of the movie have been kept.
The Reference which says that the film might be a remake is replaced by the Reference which ensures that its a remake of the Korean movie Blind.
Added reference about the cast of the film.
Added reference about the music which was released and which attained great attention from the people.
Added more references about the shooting and production.
Added references about the teaser and poster release of the film.

PROD removed with "see Times of India and Zee news sources when I search. they are independent from the people making the film so not promotional articles." While the Times article may qualify as a step toward notability, the Zee article is simply a casting announcement, which does not count toward notability requirements.

Semi-advertorialized article about a film, not
properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for films. The strongest notability claim here is that it won awards at minor film festivals which aren't notability clinchers, whereas NFILM is looking for major film festivals on the Cannes-Berlin-Toronto-Sundance tier of prominence rather than just any small-fry film festival that exists — and the article is referenced entirely to directory entries on IMDb, IMDb clones, Amazon and public libraries, and is not showing any evidence whatsoever of
reliable source coverage about the film in real media. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this film from having to have considerably better sourcing than this.

Despite playing in 3 fixtures, his total game time was

Comment Looking at it properly, I concur that it could be considered subjective in relation to the events listed as being referred to as "turning points". The article's references support the prose within the sections and the events themselves, but do not necessarily validate their inclusion in the article or why they are considered "turning points" and by who.

@

Pipsally pretty much hit the nail on the head in the nomination, "It seems like an answer in search of a question". If you think you can find sufficient reliable sources to support the foundation of the article before the AfD concludes then sure, go for it. Doing so successfully may alter the course of the AfD, if perhaps very unorthodox, but doesn't change that it was seemingly founded wholly on personal opinion. Bungle(

Comment I would think that to qualify as a turning point would at a minimum require a reference or two supporting the inclusion of a particular battle, and the rationale for it. Clearly it is completely subjective. The "academic answers" down the bottom are a concession of OR; such an article should be based upon them in the first instance, not the author's opinions. I'm inclining towards delete on the unusual basis that the article could never be brought up to an acceptable standard.

Delete Being subjective is not necessarily a problem as long as there is some kind of
WP:Academic consensus about what qualifies. This is however not the case here, as the article itself notes. The source cited for the views of historians—
https://www.historynet.com/what-was-the-turning-point-of-world-war-ii.htm—makes this abundantly clear. If anything, the prevailing view seems to be that the concept of a turning point does not apply to WWII (or as the nominator put it, It seems like an answer in search of a question). It might theoretically be possible to write an article about the lack of a distinctive turning point in WWII as compared to other wars, but that would require way better sourcing and would at any rate constitute a rather significant scope change—it wouldn't be a different version of this article but rather an altogether different article. As it stands, this is essentially a list with no proper
WP:LISTCRITERIA.

Oppose Although I have not been much of a contributor to this article (just a few small edits), I am familiar with the topic as it is in my local area. The significance of this golf club is that it was the first golf club in Australia to give women equal rights and was specifically established by women for that reason. At that time, women could not have full membership of other golf clubs, merely "ladies membership" which generally restrict their rights (could not play on weekends, could not vote, etc). See
[5],
[6],
[7],
[8]. However, it would appear that mention of this was removed from the lede paragraph in 2020 by an IP (see this
version prior to that edit. I have previously seen IP edits on articles related to Australian women in which bit by bit their achievements are removed or deprecated so this may be the same individual at work. I think the topic is notable (although I would agree that the article wasn't tremendously well-written, but this is not the point at issue in an AfD).

In terms of NBUILDING, this early 19th century building is like many others in Bandon and County Cork. And while several other
buildings in this part of Bandon are listed on the Record of Protected Structures for County Cork (and are therefore may meet NBUILDING as 'officially assigned the status of cultural heritage or national heritage, or of any other protected status on a national level'), this building is not listed on the
Record of Protected Structures. And therefore has no regional or national heritage/protection status. It is no more notable than any other (of hundreds or thousands or 10s of thousands) Georgian buildings in Ireland. And no more notability that the 40-50,000 other structures with an entry in the NIAH buildingsofireland.ie database. (While, in the dePROD and other similar AfD discussions, I have seen an argument that the NIAH is a record of protected or heritage structures. It isn't. The NIAH is a "long list" of structures that may be considered for protected status. As such it includes pretty much anything and everything that might qualify. And therefore contains structures that have been assessed for inclusion in the RPS, but were not afforded protected status. Or which have yet to be reviewed/protected. And as such is part waiting room, part
reject list.)
In general terms, the stuff about the "present owner [having] opened the formerly private residence for guest accommodation including bed and breakfast and self-catering" (with multiple web links to accommodation websites) hasn't helped with PROMO/ADVERT/COI concerns. I'm really just not seeing how this B&B/building is any more notable than any other. Even in Bandon frankly. Not to mind the rest of the county. Or country. Or beyond.

Keep. While inclusion on the NIAH may not actually meet the criteria of
WP:GEOFEAT, I think it's a highly contributory factor, since anything included on the NIAH at Regional level or above is
recommended by the minister for listing on the RPS. Despite the nominator's statement, I would say that most Georgian houses (large ones, at least) are in fact notable. The fact there are thousands of them is utterly irrelevant. In fact, if it was in the UK, where there are even more, this would almost certainly be a listed building. --

Comment. Hiya. Thanks for the considered contributions. While I am always conscious of
WP:BLUDGEON in these discussions, I thought it useful to note that:
While a listing in the NIAH may be contributory, it cannot stand as a notability consideration on its own. Otherwise this
1970s phone box or
1990s post box would meet GEOFEAT. And I'm sure we'd all agree they wouldn't. Not unless either were the primary topic of other SIGCOV.
While it might be your opinion/contention that "most [big] Georgian houses" are automatically notable, I'm not sure which notability criteria would provide for every [big] building (built over a span of ~120 years) being automatically notable.
While it is an interesting hypothetical ("if this house was in the UK it'd be protected"), and a possibly valid critique of Ireland's planning/protection regime, I'm not sure how that hypothetical applies here. Bandon is not in the UK :)
Otherwise, while the difference between "included on a list of buildings considered for heritage protection" and "included on a list of buildings conferred with heritage protection" is an interesting discussion to have, I don't see how it can be balanced against a simple
WP:SIGCOV review. (In that, absent the NIAH entry and this Wikipedia article, I can find nothing which discusses the subject in any depth at all. To the extent that even the basic facts of the article ["greenhouse and conservatory may have been built c.1900", "auction took place there c.1900", etc] seem to be unsupported/unsupportable.)
Anyway, always happy to participate in a considered AfD discussion, but I can't personally agree with arguments like "considered for protection status is (effectively) equivalent to having protection status" or "all (big-ish) buildings built in the latter 18th and early 19th centuries have a form of inherent notability".

I would point out that my opinion that most large Georgian houses were notable merely followed on the heels of your opinion that they were not! As to my contention that such houses probably would be listed in the UK, I think it is important to point out the fact that an identical house would probably meet
WP:GEOFEAT if it was in a neighbouring country with a very similar architectural tradition. It makes little sense in real world terms (as opposed to the rarefied and apparently increasingly "rules-bound" world of Wikipedia) that one passes notability requirements and another does not simply because their respective countries have different standards for heritage protection. Incidentally, according to the NIAH website, they're recommended for heritage protection (presumably by experts) rather than simply considered for; rather different things, I think. I would incidentally agree with you that individual postboxes and telephone boxes are not worthy of inclusion, any more than the hundreds of 1920s and 1930s telephone boxes which have actually been accorded listed building status in the UK are, although technically they do pass GEOFEAT. They're notable as types of structure rather than as individual structures. Sometimes we have to use common sense! --

Hi. I'll just confirm one thing here. And then we can move to User Talk as needed. In short, it would not be true to say that "[all NIAH listings are] recommended for heritage protection". Per the NIAH website, "
NIAH surveys provide the basis for the recommendations of the Minister". Just because something was surveyed and recorded doesn't mean that it leads to a recommendation. Only once a building is included on the NIAH's recommendation for the conservation list, is that list passed on to the relevant county council. And the council then vote on what makes it onto the RPS. For example,
this 1970s crane was surveyed. But the survey did not result in a recommendation. (The NIAH is not a record of protected structures and is not a record of recommended protected structures. It is record of surveyed structures. That might then be put forward for recommendation. Which in turn may then be selected for protection.)

I do not think I have ever seen so much written and yet so little said about the subject of an article. A cursory search on Google Books indicates to me that Anne Denman is not remembered as anything but a great-grandmother of an English queen. Yet,

Keep; on grounds that "Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic", and in this case, the article is a well-written and referenced account of something related to the family history of the British royal family, which probably qualifies as a notable topic. I admit she's a bit of a backwater in British royal genealogy (and I personally couldn't care less who's married to whom in royal families) but this sort of stuff seems to be of interest to a lot of people. I.e. this isn't routine genealogy. Also, sadly, it was difficult for a woman in the 16th and 17th C to do anything much notable apart from be married.

Elemimele, please see
WP:INVALIDBIO. Simply being related to someone, even if it is the British royal family, is not grounds for inclusion. (For what it is worth, her royal descendants consisted of only one generation, which ended in 1714.) Lots of people care about Britney Spears too but it does not mean we should have an article about Britney's grandmother. Anne Denman simply does not get significant coverage in reliable sources (
WP:SIGCOV).
Surtsicna (
talk)
17:03, 1 July 2021 (UTC)reply
That's precisely my point. Firstly, the coverage that Anne Denman gets is proportional to her place in history: people write about figures less and less as they fade into the past, and she lived 500 years ago. The sources referenced in the article aren't bad; there's no suspicion that they're biased; they're just the only places anyone is likely to write about a person who died so long ago. Those sources do suggest she would have been significant in her day, and if someone was once notable, they remain notable. Secondly, I think you're being a bit narrowly-legalistic about the rule that being related is not adequate grounds for being notable. The family tree of the Kings and Queens of the UK is a subject in which encyclopaedia readers take a legitimate interest (this isn't just a piece of nationalism; the same would be true of any of the major ruling families in world history). It's logically impossible to give information about a family tree without ending up writing about who is related to whom (that's what a family tree is). So the information about her family connections is valid encyclopaedia material somewhere. I'd agree it doesn't have to be in an article personally about her: if you can find a general page on kings and queens of the time, into which the information can be merged in such a way that little is lost, and where the information sits naturally, by all means merge. But straight deletion would weaken the encyclopaedia.

Hundreds of pages are continuously written about people who actually are notable regardless of whether they lived 500 or 1000 or 2000 years ago. The sources cited in the article are nothing but genealogical publications, which merely confirm her existence. Nobody has written about, say, the influence she had on Stuart monarchs. (Likely because she did not have any.) She is just an extremely obscure relation about whom historians have nothing to say. The appropriate place to mention her would be the articles about her children who actually are notable.

That argument blatantly contravenes
WP:INVALIDBIO guideline, which says: "That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A." For Denman to be notable there has to be
significant coverage of her, not of her great-granddaughters. There is no significant coverage of Denman, so she is not notable. In fact, since published biographies of Anne and Mary II do not mention this woman, she is not even notable enough to be mentioned in the articles about them, let alone have a standalone article, per
WP:NOTGENEALOGY policy.

"Those sources do suggest she would have been significant in her day, and if someone was once notable, they remain notable" is a comment which misses the mark. Construed significance/importance != significant coverage in reliable sources. -

Keep. "Her name only survives because her will survives" isn't nothing! She may not have been a particularly remarkable person but scholars appear to consider her will a valuable historical document.

Week keep and support renaming/rewrite. My glance at the sources suggest that while she may not be notable, the

Not sure what is the applicable copyediting template for 'this needs to be rewritten/refocused', it may be easier (for the nom) to withdraw this, and then rewrite the article and move it. That said,
User:Beccaynr seems to oppose such a solution. But unless the additional biographical information is significant, I think any notability she has is derived from the document, not the other way around. She is not important, what her document tells us about the ancient way of life is. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|
reply here05:51, 16 July 2021 (UTC)reply
Comment To clarify my perspective, it appears to me that the document derives notability from who she was, and the sources highlighted in my comment above seem to help show that, and specifically, in Effros, the link includes, starting at p. 27, a discussion of her and her biographical information, and also states, "Erminethrudis's will demonstrates the far-reaching influence a widow might exercise in conjunction with her possession if no restrictions were placed upon her." Additional details of actions she took with her will are included at p. 196. The other source is Wickham, which at pp. 66, 68, 84, 123, and 233 discusses her vineyards and land, and apparently only notes her will as a footnote at p. 3802. Who she was appears to be covered in multiple independent and reliable sources, which to varying degrees also provide
WP:SECONDARY analysis, synthesis and commentary on her life, the context, and her creation of the will. From my view, sources exist to support her notability as a person independent of the will that is relevant today because of what she accomplished during her life.

Cheers,
Piotrus, and I think the will is part of her biography, because it is something she did. There is another
source (Bouchard, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2014) with more biographical information, that also states she "was clearly an important landowner." Also, it is currently unclear to me how much there is to say about the will that is independent from her, and sufficient to justify its own article - the significance seems linked with her biography, i.e. it is notable that a woman created a will during this time period. I have not yet found sources (at least in part because I have not attempted to translate non-English sources) suggesting the will is related to an independent legal principle, but I would consider that a stronger justification for an article focused on the will, if those sources emerge. In the meantime, her BLP will not be the most lengthy of articles, but I think there is enough to create a biography that includes her will and its significance based on the currently available sources.

The result was delete. Moving past the SNG v GNG debate, the primary point of difference in the views around whether the coverage in the sources provided is routine or not (for GNG). I assess the consensus on this issue as being to delete the article.

Q1: How is this guideline related to the general notability guideline? A1: The topic-specific notability guidelines described on this page do not replace the general notability guideline. They are intended only to stop an article from being quickly deleted when there is very strong reason to believe that significant, independent, non-routine, non-promotional secondary coverage from multiple reliable sources is available, given sufficient time to locate it. Wikipedia's standard for including an article about a given person is not based on whether or not he/she has attained certain achievements, but on whether or not the person has received appropriate coverage in reliable sources, in accordance with the general notability guideline. Also refer to Wikipedia's basic guidance on the notability of people for additional information on evaluating notability.)
Q2: If a sports figure meets the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean he/she does not have to meet the general notability guideline? A2: No, the article must still eventually provide sources indicating that the subject meets the general notability guideline. Although the criteria for a given sport should be chosen to be a very reliable predictor of the availability of appropriate secondary coverage from reliable sources, there can be exceptions. For contemporary persons, given a reasonable amount of time to locate appropriate sources, the general notability guideline should be met in order for an article to meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. (For subjects in the past where it is more difficult to locate sources, it may be necessary to evaluate the subject's likely notability based on other persons of the same time period with similar characteristics.)
Q3: If a sports figure does not meet the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean he/she does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards? A3: No, it does not mean this—if the subject meets the general notability guideline, then he/she meets Wikipedia's standards for having an article in Wikipedia, even if he/she does not meet the criteria for the appropriate sports-specific notability guideline. The sports-specific notability guidelines are not intended to set a higher bar for inclusion in Wikipedia: they are meant to provide some buffer time to locate appropriate reliable sources when, based on rules of thumb, it is highly likely that these sources exist.)
To pass
WP:GNG, the subject has to have received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. So if a number of national or major state news publications write a number (GNG only says multiple) of indepth articles on a baseball player, young or old, amateur or professional, then there is a good chance that he passes the notable criteria for a stand-alone article.

Delete - Alvaldi is of course completely correct, as he has demonstrated, that meeting GNG is sufficient. Also, it matters not a whit what the articles are about - they could be about t-ball. GNG doesn't care. So we don't care. If they are GNG worthy, so is the subject. I just, same as yankees, don't see these articles as meeting GNG. But those who hang their hat on this other, faulty, argument are incorrect in their assertions.

Keep Meets GNG on the basis of the SI and SA Express articles, and once GNG is met NBASE does not matter. The argument that those two sources are too routine (regardless of whether that is true or not, which is highly subjective) is a misapplication of policy; nowhere does GNG discount routine coverage. Rather,
WP:ROUTINE is part of
WP:NEVENTS and says that an event might not merit an article even if it meets GNG. An event notability guideline should not be applied to a biography. --
King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠03:42, 22 July 2021 (UTC)reply
The "SI article" is coverage of one game and is part of its "Fan Nation-Longhorns Country" section. That's not significant coverage. Pretty much every athlete who ever played a high school sport has been mentioned in an article on a game and there's no way they're all WP notable. It's highly debatable that even two good sources are enough to meet
WP:GNG and these are not that good.

WP:BLP of a mayor, not adequately referenced as passing
WP:NPOL #2. As always, mayors are not deemed "inherently" notable just because they exist, so making a mayor notable enough for inclusion is not a question of just showing minimal verification that she exists -- mayoral notability is a question of demonstrating her political significance, by writing and sourcing substantive content about specific things she did as mayor, specific projects she spearheaded, significant effects she had on the development of the community, and on and so forth. But this just verifies her initial election as mayor and sources a small amount of trivia about her career background, which is not enough in and of itself.

Campaign coverage and verification of election results doesn't cut it. We require coverage about the political impact of her mayoralty: specific things she did as mayor, specific projects she spearheaded, specific effects she had on the development of the city, and on and so forth — just sourcing that she ran and won, something which we can always do for every single mayor who ever mayored in every place that ever had mayors, is not in and of itself enough. We have to be able to write a substantive article about her political significance, not just a short blurb about her election results and a baby.

National news sources found it politically significant that she is the first woman elected mayor of the
Cape Breton Regional Municipality, that she began her term by bringing her child to work, and that she participated in
World Down Syndrome Day, so these sources appear to support
WP:BASIC, and the in-depth features focused on her appear to support
WP:NPOL, and can allow a more in-depth article to be developed. There is also more biographical information available from

None of those are "national" sources. The CBC's local news bureau in Nova Scotia does not reify into "national" coverage just because the URL happens to have the letters "CBC" in it — it's still coverage from a local affiliate, and not coverage from the national news division in Toronto. Same goes for Global Halifax and CTV Atlantic: that's local coverage, not "national" coverage, because it comes from the local affiliates and not the national news divisions. It's the same as in the United States: just because
KXAS-TV happens to be an NBC affiliate does not mean that its local news stories about local topics in Fort Worth automatically transform into "nationalized" coverage from
NBC News.

Here is another feature article from a national source,
Cape Breton elects Amanda McDougall as its first female mayor (Canadian Press, 2020) and if the 'local' news is published on national websites, it may be a distinction without a difference. My point ultimately is that she appears to meet the guidelines for
WP:BASIC notability and
WP:NPOL as written, and the article can be expanded with the variety of sources posted in this discussion.
Beccaynr (

WP:SECONDARYanalysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas, including but not limited to reporting about her being the first woman mayor, which requires a synthesis of facts related to the number of women previously elected to the post, and per policy, Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from reliable secondary sources.

No, local vs. national coverage is not a "distinction without a difference" in Canada just because the local news bureaux post their reportage to local sections of the parent corporation's website instead of each having their own standalone websites — the distinction between local vs. national coverage still works exactly the same way as it does in the United States, you just have to look in different places to determine which of those things any given piece of coverage is.

I clearly have more to learn about news distribution in Canada, and I appreciate the clarification - in the US, local affiliates are often not so smoothly integrated with their national parent websites, and instead have their own websites, which makes it easier to identify and consider as more limited in scope. But, as noted above, she still has coverage in The Canadian Press, and my comments have been intended to highlight how her coverage is more than the more obviously local (at least to me) Cape Breton Post.

"Quoted as giver of soundbite in news article about some other subject besides herself" is not support for notability. "The local newspaper covered her campaign for a local municipal council seat, in exactly the same equal-time way that it always covers every candidate in every municipal election in its coverage area" is not support for notability. "Speaking to a House of Commons committee" is not a notability claim per se, and neither is "was scheduled to speak to a House of Commons committee but got cancelled because of a filibuster". And on and so forth: we're looking for content about her political impact and her effect on the political, social and economic development of the city, not just "any news article whatsoever that can be found with her name in it".

If you read the article about her filibustered committee appearance, it's specifically about a pilot program for Cape Breton which she was pushing for, the articles about the port issue were specifically about what she was doing to address the issue, the Down's syndrome articles are specifically about her advocacy and relation to it, etc... - those aren't just articles with her name in it, they're specific content about her political impact and her effect on the political, social and economic development of the city.

Keep Per user guidelines WP:AVOIDCOI I am disclosing that I have a vested interest in this page as I am the subject. I believe this page was created by Warner Brothers in 2005-2006 upon the release of "
Firewall (film)" and has been up for 15 plus years. As a novice, I attempted to update this page and failed to provide proper citation. For that I want to express my apologies, and also my appreciation for this community's rigor in keeping with Wiki's mission. I provide the following citation for the editor's reviews: Regarding "
Firewall (film)" and my career as a screenwriter of note, I was included in the 2009 documentary Tales From the Script which is a compendium of notable screenwriters of the period:
[29] Tales From the Script was also released as a book with the same title and is still available in print.
[30] In both the film and book I discuss my career and my process. During this time I was also interviewed widely about my process in the following journals: WGA Magazine, February 2006
[31] Creative Screening Writing, January February 2006, article by David Konow (for which there is no online link) and Final Draft's Script Magazine, November/December 2011 in which my career as a writer, painter and director of The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur are of the focus of the article and puts me in the company of the most notable screenwriters of that period.
[32] On Friday, February 10th, 2006, "
Firewall (film)" was reviewed in the New York Times by Manola Dargis and I was specifically mentioned by name.
[33] I have had numerous projects announced in Daily Variety, including Soviet Cowboy (1996) which I wrote for two-time academy award winner "
Jodie Foster" and French Film director "
Mathieu Kassovitz". On Wednesday, October 24, 2007 an article appeared in Daily Variety announcing that I was to adapt Natsuo Kirino's novel "
Out (novel)" which won Japan's Grand Prix Award for crime fiction. There are currently no online links, but I can provide scans of hard copies if required by the editor. In 2013, I became a Film Independent Fellow of Film Independent's Documentary Director's Lab with my film The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur.
[34] In 2015, The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur premiered at a host of notable film festivals including DocUtah
[35] and Hot Springs Film Festival
[36] The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur was release in 2016 and continues to stream on Amazon where is in wide circulation and well reviewed
[37] As noted above, The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur is part of the USC film archive
[38] Regarding my work as a painter, which is integrally intertwined with my career as a filmmaker and visual artist, I offer the following references. World on Fire, Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock (2021)
[39] On Men, Castelli Art Space (2019)
[40] The End of Paper, Center for the Arts Eagle Rock (2017)
[41] Nothing is Waster, Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock (2015)
[42] Seeing Double, Pomona, California
[43] Wonder, James Grey Gallery, Bergamot Station (2008) and Opening Day, The Regency Gallery (2007)
[44] All of these shows have taken place in the thriving, international arts hub of Los Angeles. The 2007 show, in particular, was part of Los Angeles Downtown arts and seen by thousands of visitors.
[45] As a filmmaker, writer and artist I belong to a specific time and place in Los Angeles culture and the film community and have worked with several of the leading artists of my time. As my career is not complete and I am still working (I am adapting the comic book series Back Track at Sony's 3000 pictures with Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) directing), I believe it is premature to assess the impact I have had, and that impact cannot be fairly assessed if my page is buried or not to be found. Finally, to subsume me in the "
Firewall (film)" is unfair as I am the originator and author of that project, and therefore a separate entity from Warner Brothers whose contribution to the film was as financier and distributor, and not as one of the key and primary filmmakers. Again, thank you for your rigor and kind consideration in this matter.

Thanks for the time you spent assembling these links, but they are more like what one might list on a resume or cv, and not an encyclopedia. What is needed to establish notability is significant coverage
WP:SIGCOV (more than a mention) in secondary (not primary, such as interviews) verifiable
WP:V reliable sources
WP:RS that are independent of the subject of the article. So blogs, amazons sales links or reviews or film rental links, user-submitted content like IMDb, calendar listings, announcements, press releases, PR material and the like do not count towards meeting notability criteria. If you can narrow the above down to 3 or 4 that you think might fit SIGCOV in RS, that will help the editors here to analyze the material. What is important is what others (art and film critics for example) have said about you. Merging content into the notable film Firewall is definitely not a bad option.

WP:SNOWing in July right now?. We literally have lists of characters for nearly ALL other notable TV series with a ton of characters. Issues of in-universe descriptions, crufty content and only primary sources to episodes being used are issues of clean-up, not notability which is a typical metric we use for Afd descriptions. Please think about
Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup the next time you find a list article like this.

On the contrary, the problem of primary sources only absolutely is a notability issue. And excessive character lists like this one get deleted all the time, eg:
[46],
[47],
[48]. Unfortunately,
WP:NOTCLEANUP doesn't apply when the problems in an article are insurmountable even with all the cleanup in the world.

*Delete - Character lists can certainly be a valid spinout article for a piece of media, but they still need to actually be supported by reliable, secondary sources. They don't automatically get a pass from the requirements for
WP:LISTN or the
WP:GNG, and this particular character list is unable to pass either one of them. I can find no reliable, secondary sources discussing the characters in the series in general, nor was I able to find any on any of the individual main characters. I also checked the equivalent page on the Japanese Wikipedia to see if that potentially included any non-English sources that could be used, but it turns out that its completely absent of any reliable sources there, as well.

I'm no fan of the show and have never seen it. It's just that it's typical for the most notable TV series, such as The Office, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Seinfeld to have character lists, often with the only cited sources being primary. My judgement, looking retrospectively, wasn't good given that it's
WP:OTHERSTUFF logic. I'll be happy to userfy, though. I'd say it depends on how many recurring and starring characters there are and how it would make the article about the show
WP:TOOBIG, but other users may decided that.

Moot/malformed request. If
The Galaxy Railways is notable, then a list of characters for it is expected and relies on those same RS'es whether or not they are included in this list article per
WP:NEXIST. If the series is not notable, however, then the series and all dependent articles like this should be deleted together. As such, the nomination articulates no policy-based rationale for deleting only this list of characters article. As has been pointed out above, 'cruft' (itself a non-policy based and pejorative word) is not solved by deletion, but by actually editing it out.

Notability is
not inherited, and the
WP:BURDEN is on those to provide the sources. If deletion isn't cleanup then provide the sources and
WP:FIXIT. You have to remember that lists can always be re-created with found sourcing by those who have time to work on them (this goes for those pushing for inclusion and deletion alike). -

Even if the show has some sources that demonstrate notability, if they don't actually provide any information on the characters, which I can't find any that do, then all this article consists of is information that is almost entirely unsourced - the vast majority of the items here are not even sourced to primary sources, let alone reliable, secondary sources. And the notability of a given topic does not give a pass to any spinout articles from needing to actually have sourced information. As I mentioned above, even the Japanese Wikipedia article on the topic contains no reliable sources providing information on the characters, so unless sources can be found that do, we can't just keep a lot of information that we can't even demonstrate that
WP:NEXIST for.

On the contrary, we've long held that "List of XYZ characters" and "XYZ" are not identically the same topic. Just because there may be sources to support an article on XYZ, this does not guarantee an article on "List of XYZ characters" because the list still requires sources discussing the characters as such, perferably *as* a list. One can easily imagine an article on a work of fiction for which the sources mostly talk about the setting and plot, with less focus on the characters. And, in fact, this is exactly the situation here; the parent article talks a lot about trains and such but talk of characters is limited to name drops in a plot summary. Rorshacma's delete !vote is completely correct here and, as pointed out elsewhere, this list is inherently OR owing to the lack of sources that discuss this actual topic.
ReykYO!16:48, 9 July 2021 (UTC)reply

Weak keep. Such lists are a major issue that should be discussed in a large RfC. We have tens of thousands of them. Do they meet criteria for stand-alone list (
WP:NLIST)? Hmmm. There are certainly websites out there which among others provide such lists (and not just fan wikis, for example
[50] (however, all such sites I can think of tend to rely on volunteer contribution and are part-wiki anidb.net/anime/1000 (for some reason this is on out spam blacklist),
[51],
[52], IMDb,
[53]). This may be enough to warrant keeping them as navigational aids that may meet our criteria, perhaps? The other argument I can see is that lists of characters are justifiable parts of plot summary, and can be spin-off main articles about works to stand-alone articles simply due to their lengths (this is covered under
WP:SIZESPLIT). Anyway, I believe that we should not delete lists of characters without a major RfC. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

You are going into
WP:OSE as the issue with THIS particular list is sourcing which I have yet to see offered. Nobody here is saying that we need to delete every character list out there just because this particular one is up for deletion. If you have sources to include the information then great... add them, if not then as an anime fan myself it does little good reading the storyline based off an opinion of someone who already watched the series (we have Wikia for that). -

Keep I agree with the rational others have made. Every notable series has a character list article if its too large to fit all valid information in its main article. Spinoff articles for this, list of episodes, and whatnot, are always perfectly valid.
DreamFocus10:57, 12 July 2021 (UTC)reply
Keep As per
MOS:PLOTSOURCE, it is acceptable to have no sourcing as it is assumed the work itself is the source for plot summaries (and by extension, character summaries). While merging this article back to its parent is the obvious
WP:ATD, it would not be the best option as it would make the characters section half of the article, a clear example of
WP:UNDUE. However, a cleaned up and denser version could be mergeable, and I wouldn't be opposed someone bold merging if such version is created.

Delete - Article is purely fancruft, with the only sources on the article being primary ones. No solid sources have been raised in this discussion to add to the article, and even if the show's notable, I don't think that justifies a massive unsourced list of characters from the show.

I would say in this case this is simply a

I responded to Jclemen's comment regarding source already to point out that none of the sources that appear in the link he provided actually discuss any of the characters at all. In fact, the sources that come up barely discuss the actual series at all, with most of them simply mentioning it as an example of one of Leiji Matsumoto works, with almost no actual coverage or discussion of it.
Rorshacma (

06:20, 16 July 2021 (UTC)reply
In most cases, the actual sections of the books in which the show is mentioned are fully available to view. For example, the first listing that comes up with Jclemen's link is
this book, where The Galaxy Railroad is only mentioned in a single sentence in a section about another of Leiji Matsumoto's works,
Galaxy Express 999. The coverage of this particular series is literally limited to the sentence "The much later Maetel Legend OAV and the Galaxy Railways TV series are currently the most accessible glimpses of the Galaxy Express 999' universe available in English". And that's it. Similarly, the section that
this book and
this book mention the series are all fully viewable in Google books, and in both cases they are again, single sentence mentions. The only real source that comes up in the search that is only available as a snippet view is
this one. I've done searches under the titles "The Galaxy Express", "Galaxy Express", "Ginga Tetsudō Monogatari", as well as doing my best to go through Japanese language sources, and I'm barely finding enough coverage in reliable sources to support the article on the actual series, let alone a spinout character article that can't even really be said to pass the basic tenants of
WP:V. If anyone can point to a specific reliable source that actually supports any of the information currently in this article, please do, since I've spent quite a bit of time trying myself, and have not succeeded.

Keep/Potential Merge - I concur completely with Knowledgekid87 at this point, and have similarly struck my earlier vote. The reviews found definitely have coverage of the main characters of the series. Thus, as mentioned, I would also suggest vastly trimming this down to only include those main characters with sourced information. At that point, the list would be manageable enough that it would likely make sense to merge it back into the main article on the series rather than being kept as a separate list, however the discussion regarding that decision can be conducted later on, and does not have to be made here.

The article consists of mostly two paragraphs and there is nor ever was any independence negotiation going on. The term 'two-state solution' isn't even used by most sources. Even one of the sources which is The End of Iraq: How American Incompetence Created a War Without End by Peter W. Galbraith doesn't mention any term like 80% solution.
The first para in the article is about the definition. The second is about Iraq's refusal to recognize any independence referendum by Iraqi Kurdistan in 2017 and invading areas under it's control. And fact is nearly all governments and Iraq doesn't want an independent Kurdistan. This article's content is irrelevant and can be just easily included in

Delete – I find it unlikely that this list even passes
WP:NLIST (reliable sources don't seem to have discussed the list of filling stations in Ghana as a single entity), but
WP:NOTDIR allows me to pretermit the question: such a list is not appropriate for an encyclopedia, full stop.

Delete per everyone else because really what is there to say about this, other than that the obvious typo in the article name implies this was made with zero effort whatsoever. Trying to expand Wikipedia’s coverage of developing nations is a noble cause, but creating poor-quality articles isn’t the way to do it.

Delete This is a list of companies that run gas stations in Ghana. Not really very useful. If it was what it purported to be, a listing of each gas station that exists in Ghana, I would argue individual gas stations are not notable. There is not a topic here that we need a list article on.

Does not meet
WP:GNG. This article is about a "computer industry jargon" or slang term and but does not provide sufficient evidence that it is actually used beyound a few blog posts (which are not
relaible sources) and unreachable PDFs. If anything, the only supported statements demonstrates non-notability of this term ("the term 'mashup' is not formally defined by any standard-setting body") and attempts to promote this term ("over time, increasing maturity and standardization of mashup technology will likely make it more popular than portal technology").

This term is well-known and exists in the
dictionaries
If you don't like the jargon "mashup", you can call it "composite application" like French people
fr:Application composite. The name doesn't really matter, what matters is this concept the article describes. Of course you live today where everything on the web is a mashup/composite application so you don't really care, but back then it was like a very new, very revolutionary thing, people might be like "Wow, how can you mix this and that together on a webpage?" So the concept has a pretty important role in
Web 2.0 and in Internet history
Most references are reachable and look reliable
There are many ways to recover unreachable URLs. It's a technical issue. The URL is dead doesn't mean the source is unreliable or should be deleted. Please read
WP:404
I don't think "Mashup" is a trademark that belongs to anyone, I don't see anyone could promote the term for their own benefit
Also please note that unreliable sources and potential promotional tone don't affect the general notability of the subject in question. Please use templates, or just go ahead to clean up the paragraphs, add more sources, fix dead links by adding
Internet Archive links, instead of deleting the long article altogether
Mashup (digital),
Mashup enabler was merged into this article (if you delete this article, you'd delete everything that was merged into the article too)
24 other language versions

Btw I think the current English article is a little confusing, the german version
de:Mashup (Internet) is concise and worth reading, it has many examples and published books as sources. The French version
fr:Application composite is also not bad. Those non-English versions could be used to improve the English article. --

Appears to be a content fork from
Innovation. As far as I can see, there is no coherent concept called "radical innovation", distinct from innovation, that extends beyond any single scholar. It's just a common
collocation meaning more profound innovation. Also concerns about self-promotion.
Delete - The two sources cited in the first paragraph contradict each other (either the concept is pretty much interchangeable with disruptive innovation, per Mary Pratt, or it's something quite different, per Daniel Newman) and the paragraph does nothing to reconcile them. Like the nom, I find no coherent concept here: this does not rise to the level of original research. —

"Geocast" is not a thing. It's a proposed idea, which has not been (and arguably could not be) implemented. The article, and the links to it from other pages, all appear to have been created by one person, and only reference a single very academic paper, which proposes it as a hypothetical neat idea. But it's a neat idea which was never fleshed out enough to be realizable. So I guess I'd place this at the intersection set of "
not notable," "
not verifiable," "
patent nonsense," "
neologism" and "
original research." But it's definitely not a thing and the article (and all the links to it that were scattered around in other articles) are very misleading and use a lot of obfuscatory jargon, implying that it is a thing. This is very misleading, would lead the average reader to the misconclusion that there's a thing called "geocast" which exists in the world, and thus should not appear in an encyclopedia.

I am also nominating the following related pages because they follow the same pattern... Same creator, interlinking internal references, only the one external reference which is a paper by the author of the pages:
While I absolutely agree in principle, this was a single paper, twenty four years ago with one person's idea, which never sparked any follow-on, or discussion, or implementation, or commentary, until one person recently began plastering cookie-cutter reference to that one paper all over unrelated Wikipedia articles. So, if it was an idea that had been the genesis of work or discussion by others, absolutely, but it dropped without a ripple in 1997. And the bar for publishing academic papers is notoriously low. I'd probably be more sympathetic if the idea were implementable, but it's not. If it were, it would be valuable, but the same is true of perpetual motion, alchemy, cold fusion, etc., which is why I include
WP:PN.

Perhaps I pulled the trigger too quickly. You're right, that it appears to be a well-established term within the context of experimental vehicle-to-vehicle wireless networking, which I don't know anything about. All of the references to it were being jammed into Internet routing articles, where it's not applicable. So, maybe the only problem to be fixed is a clean-up of the article that clearly scopes it to vehicle-to-vehicle wireless networking, rather than "networking" writ large, and updates the citations?

I rarely bring articles to AfD with as much scorn as the one presented here. It is a definitionally imprecise, source-bare piece of mush that has no place on the encyclopedia. In 1,085 words, it struggles to say what could be said more concisely in one sentence—without an article—and provides poor-quality examples, conflating educational and commercial statewide television services and sometimes considering a "state network" to cover a part of a state, which is an untenable definition. The topic term itself is something of a neologism, being mostly used in the names of entities in television and radio and not as a topic of study itself. Sure, there are statewide public television networks in a variety of US states, but this article is among our worst in broadcasting. It has no place here. It should be deleted.

WP:SIGCOV. My
WP:BEFORE search could only find content on a Peruvian singer of the same name. Additionally, the sources themselves give different names, one Gabriel Aragón Bermúdez and the other Gabriel Aragón Gómez, making me question if there is some sort of confusion between two different men in the sourcing of the article. The lead mentions the saxophone but then the infobox mentions singer (perhaps confusion with the singer from Peru?). It's a bit of a mess, and it's difficult to verify its authenticity as a subject. Admittedly foreign language references may exist outside my expertise in locating.

Since most of the article is about his clown career (with possible confusion with another singer, as noted by the nominator), we can assume the clown team is the point of reference. Unless Señor Aragón received coverage in old books or magazines for individual activities, I see little reason for him to have his own WP article outside of the group. Memories of their team TV show are easier to find in Spanish language sources. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Editors should not publish articles before they are ready for the mainspace. No editor has an obligation to 'wait and see', and when articles are not flagged initially they are often never flagged at all, and we end up with countless unsuitable articles. As for appearing to have a "good level of sourcing" - four of the five sources are routine stories re the opening of a new mall, the fifth is apparently about a department store going bankrupt. The coverage is just routine news about a new mall opening, and as noted in the nom, there is a consensus that malls of this size are generally not notable. Performing a headcount of sources is not always enough to determine notability.

I am concerned that this is a
biography of a low profile individual, who has not sought out publicity. We must take care and ensure sensitivity and privacy concerns are thought about when writing BLPs. Sure, if my kids got the best A-level marks and qualified to go to Oxbridge, and got a note in the local paper, I'd feel pretty chuffed - but it doesn't mean I'd want an encyclopedia article about them.
The article would sit better as part of
93% Club, which could do with some expansion (less than 2K prose), but it would be useful to gauge consensus on whether Pender should be a search term too.

Pender is not low profile, she's already been reported in four different national news media (Times, Telegraph, Guardian, BBC) as well as local newspapers. The initial redirect which effectively deleted page (without discussion) suggested that Pender was notable for only one event
WP:BLP1E . This is not the case, the organisation she founded now has 45 clubs nationally and is tackling an important issue. This is not about whether her parents (or even Sophie herself) want a wikipedia biography but about whether she is notable, which she clearly is. @

I don't know much about Australian radiojournalism, but I couldn't find a great deal about him and the one provided source for this BLP says that he was fired for uttering a racial slur on the air. This doesn't seem like enough to establish notability and a BLP requires much better references than what's provided.

Weak keep: I agree with the OP's criticisms so I've made significant changes to the page in an attempt to meet
WP:GNG, although it's still a weak page. I could only find a couple of sources online, both relating to the successful unfair dismissal claim; and a handful via a ProQuest database search of Australian and New Zealand newspapers (deeper and broader than Google) although most are from a regional newspaper, the Illawarra Mercury. The page now arguably passes
WP:GNG.

PROD removed with "multiple secondary independent sources discuss this film", but the sources cited are a link to a trailer, an article announcing the film and saying it "might" be a remake (but its more of a promotional article), and the third one just talks about it going to streaming platform.
Nothing else was found, no reviews, etc.
Since it's not released yet, it might be best to move it to DRAFT until release and see if any reviews appear at that point.

Strong Keep The film is greatly looked forward as the Lady superstar of Tamil Industry Nayanthara comes in a lead role. She has a huge fan following and so her films. The film is the remake of the super hit Korean film, Blind. Kross Pictures, an international film production company, which take initiative in bringing Korean films to India is the co-producer of the film. The film is going to be released through the OTT Platform, Disney+Hotstar very recently. So I give a strong keep for this film. But I do agree to the point that the article didn't have enough citations. Hence I am making many changes - adding references and more content to the article and hence voting a Strong Keep for the film.
Reference which is a link to the trailer has been removed and the References which talks about producer and co-producer of the movie have been kept.
The Reference which says that the film might be a remake is replaced by the Reference which ensures that its a remake of the Korean movie Blind.
Added reference about the cast of the film.
Added reference about the music which was released and which attained great attention from the people.
Added more references about the shooting and production.
Added references about the teaser and poster release of the film.

PROD removed with "see Times of India and Zee news sources when I search. they are independent from the people making the film so not promotional articles." While the Times article may qualify as a step toward notability, the Zee article is simply a casting announcement, which does not count toward notability requirements.

Semi-advertorialized article about a film, not
properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for films. The strongest notability claim here is that it won awards at minor film festivals which aren't notability clinchers, whereas NFILM is looking for major film festivals on the Cannes-Berlin-Toronto-Sundance tier of prominence rather than just any small-fry film festival that exists — and the article is referenced entirely to directory entries on IMDb, IMDb clones, Amazon and public libraries, and is not showing any evidence whatsoever of
reliable source coverage about the film in real media. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this film from having to have considerably better sourcing than this.

Despite playing in 3 fixtures, his total game time was

Comment Looking at it properly, I concur that it could be considered subjective in relation to the events listed as being referred to as "turning points".

@

Pipsally pretty much hit the nail on the head in the nomination, "It seems like an answer in search of a question". If you think you can find sufficient reliable sources to support the foundation of the article before the AfD concludes then sure, go for it. Doing so successfully may alter the course of the AfD, if perhaps very unorthodox, but doesn't change that it was seemingly founded wholly on personal opinion. Bungle(

Comment I would think that to qualify as a turning point would at a minimum require a reference or two supporting the inclusion of a particular battle, and the rationale for it. Clearly it is completely subjective. The "academic answers" down the bottom are a concession of OR; such an article should be based upon them in the first instance, not the author's opinions. I'm inclining towards delete on the unusual basis that the article could never be brought up to an acceptable standard.

Delete Being subjective is not necessarily a problem as long as there is some kind of
WP:Academic consensus about what qualifies. This is however not the case here, as the article itself notes. The source cited for the views of historians—
https://www.historynet.com/what-was-the-turning-point-of-world-war-ii.htm—makes this abundantly clear. If anything, the prevailing view seems to be that the concept of a turning point does not apply to WWII (or as the nominator put it, It seems like an answer in search of a question). It might theoretically be possible to write an article about the lack of a distinctive turning point in WWII as compared to other wars, but that would require way better sourcing and would at any rate constitute a rather significant scope change—it wouldn't be a different version of this article but rather an altogether different article. As it stands, this is essentially a list with no proper
WP:LISTCRITERIA.

Oppose Although I have not been much of a contributor to this article (just a few small edits), I am familiar with the topic as it is in my local area. The significance of this golf club is that it was the first golf club in Australia to give women equal rights and was specifically established by women for that reason. At that time, women could not have full membership of other golf clubs, merely "ladies membership" which generally restrict their rights (could not play on weekends, could not vote, etc). See
[5],
[6],
[7],
[8]. However, it would appear that mention of this was removed from the lede paragraph in 2020 by an IP (see this
version prior to that edit. I have previously seen IP edits on articles related to Australian women in which bit by bit their achievements are removed or deprecated so this may be the same individual at work. I think the topic is notable (although I would agree that the article wasn't tremendously well-written, but this is not the point at issue in an AfD).

In terms of NBUILDING, this early 19th century building is like many others in Bandon and County Cork. And while several other
buildings in this part of Bandon are listed on the Record of Protected Structures for County Cork (and are therefore may meet NBUILDING as 'officially assigned the status of cultural heritage or national heritage, or of any other protected status on a national level'), this building is not listed on the
Record of Protected Structures. And therefore has no regional or national heritage/protection status. It is no more notable than any other (of hundreds or thousands or 10s of thousands) Georgian buildings in Ireland. And no more notability that the 40-50,000 other structures with an entry in the NIAH buildingsofireland.ie database. (While, in the dePROD and other similar AfD discussions, I have seen an argument that the NIAH is a record of protected or heritage structures. It isn't. The NIAH is a "long list" of structures that may be considered for protected status. As such it includes pretty much anything and everything that might qualify. And therefore contains structures that have been assessed for inclusion in the RPS, but were not afforded protected status. Or which have yet to be reviewed/protected. And as such is part waiting room, part
reject list.)
In general terms, the stuff about the "present owner [having] opened the formerly private residence for guest accommodation including bed and breakfast and self-catering" (with multiple web links to accommodation websites) hasn't helped with PROMO/ADVERT/COI concerns. I'm really just not seeing how this B&B/building is any more notable than any other. Even in Bandon frankly. Not to mind the rest of the county. Or country. Or beyond.

recommended by the minister for listing on the RPS. Despite the nominator's statement, I would say that most Georgian houses (large ones, at least) are in fact notable. The fact there are thousands of them is utterly irrelevant. In fact, if it was in the UK, where there are even more, this would almost certainly be a listed building. --

Comment. Hiya. Thanks for the considered contributions. While I am always conscious of
WP:BLUDGEON in these discussions, I thought it useful to note that:
While a listing in the NIAH may be contributory, it cannot stand as a notability consideration on its own. Otherwise this
1970s phone box or
1990s post box would meet GEOFEAT. And I'm sure we'd all agree they wouldn't. Not unless either were the primary topic of other SIGCOV.
While it might be your opinion/contention that "most [big] Georgian houses" are automatically notable, I'm not sure which notability criteria would provide for every [big] building (built over a span of ~120 years) being automatically notable.
While it is an interesting hypothetical ("if this house was in the UK it'd be protected"), and a possibly valid critique of Ireland's planning/protection regime, I'm not sure how that hypothetical applies here. Bandon is not in the UK :)
Otherwise, while the difference between "included on a list of buildings considered for heritage protection" and "included on a list of buildings conferred with heritage protection" is an interesting discussion to have, I don't see how it can be balanced against a simple
WP:SIGCOV review. (In that, absent the NIAH entry and this Wikipedia article, I can find nothing which discusses the subject in any depth at all. To the extent that even the basic facts of the article ["greenhouse and conservatory may have been built c.1900", "auction took place there c.1900", etc] seem to be unsupported/unsupportable.)
Anyway, always happy to participate in a considered AfD discussion, but I can't personally agree with arguments like "considered for protection status is (effectively) equivalent to having protection status" or "all (big-ish) buildings built in the latter 18th and early 19th centuries have a form of inherent notability".

I would point out that my opinion that most large Georgian houses were notable merely followed on the heels of your opinion that they were not! As to my contention that such houses probably would be listed in the UK, I think it is important to point out the fact that an identical house would probably meet
WP:GEOFEAT if it was in a neighbouring country with a very similar architectural tradition. It makes little sense in real world terms (as opposed to the rarefied and apparently increasingly "rules-bound" world of Wikipedia) that one passes notability requirements and another does not simply because their respective countries have different standards for heritage protection. Incidentally, according to the NIAH website, they're recommended for heritage protection (presumably by experts) rather than simply considered for; rather different things, I think. I would incidentally agree with you that individual postboxes and telephone boxes are not worthy of inclusion, any more than the hundreds of 1920s and 1930s telephone boxes which have actually been accorded listed building status in the UK are, although technically they do pass GEOFEAT. They're notable as types of structure rather than as individual structures. Sometimes we have to use common sense! --

Hi. I'll just confirm one thing here. And then we can move to User Talk as needed. In short, it would not be true to say that "[all NIAH listings are] recommended for heritage protection". Per the NIAH website, "
NIAH surveys provide the basis for the recommendations of the Minister". Just because something was surveyed and recorded doesn't mean that it leads to a recommendation. Only once a building is included on the NIAH's recommendation for the conservation list, is that list passed on to the relevant county council. And the council then vote on what makes it onto the RPS. For example,
this 1970s crane was surveyed. But the survey did not result in a recommendation. (The NIAH is not a record of protected structures and is not a record of recommended protected structures. It is record of surveyed structures. That might then be put forward for recommendation. Which in turn may then be selected for protection.)

I do not think I have ever seen so much written and yet so little said about the subject of an article. A cursory search on Google Books indicates to me that Anne Denman is not remembered as anything but a great-grandmother of an English queen. Yet,

Keep; on grounds that "Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic", and in this case, the article is a well-written and referenced account of something related to the family history of the British royal family, which probably qualifies as a notable topic. I admit she's a bit of a backwater in British royal genealogy (and I personally couldn't care less who's married to whom in royal families) but this sort of stuff seems to be of interest to a lot of people. I.e. this isn't routine genealogy. Also, sadly, it was difficult for a woman in the 16th and 17th C to do anything much notable apart from be married.

Elemimele, please see
WP:INVALIDBIO. Simply being related to someone, even if it is the British royal family, is not grounds for inclusion. (For what it is worth, her royal descendants consisted of only one generation, which ended in 1714.) Lots of people care about Britney Spears too but it does not mean we should have an article about Britney's grandmother. Anne Denman simply does not get significant coverage in reliable sources (
WP:SIGCOV).
Surtsicna (

17:03, 1 July 2021 (UTC)reply
That's precisely my point. Firstly, the coverage that Anne Denman gets is proportional to her place in history: people write about figures less and less as they fade into the past, and she lived 500 years ago. The sources referenced in the article aren't bad; there's no suspicion that they're biased; they're just the only places anyone is likely to write about a person who died so long ago. Those sources do suggest she would have been significant in her day, and if someone was once notable, they remain notable. Secondly, I think you're being a bit narrowly-legalistic about the rule that being related is not adequate grounds for being notable. The family tree of the Kings and Queens of the UK is a subject in which encyclopaedia readers take a legitimate interest (this isn't just a piece of nationalism; the same would be true of any of the major ruling families in world history). It's logically impossible to give information about a family tree without ending up writing about who is related to whom (that's what a family tree is). So the information about her family connections is valid encyclopaedia material somewhere. I'd agree it doesn't have to be in an article personally about her: if you can find a general page on kings and queens of the time, into which the information can be merged in such a way that little is lost, and where the information sits naturally, by all means merge. But straight deletion would weaken the encyclopaedia.

Hundreds of pages are continuously written about people who actually are notable regardless of whether they lived 500 or 1000 or 2000 years ago. The sources cited in the article are nothing but genealogical publications, which merely confirm her existence. Nobody has written about, say, the influence she had on Stuart monarchs. (Likely because she did not have any.) She is just an extremely obscure relation about whom historians have nothing to say. The appropriate place to mention her would be the articles about her children who actually are notable.

That argument blatantly contravenes
WP:INVALIDBIO guideline, which says: "That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A." For Denman to be notable there has to be
significant coverage of her, not of her great-granddaughters. There is no significant coverage of Denman, so she is not notable. In fact, since published biographies of Anne and Mary II do not mention this woman, she is not even notable enough to be mentioned in the articles about them, let alone have a standalone article, per
WP:NOTGENEALOGY policy.

"Those sources do suggest she would have been significant in her day, and if someone was once notable, they remain notable" is a comment which misses the mark. Construed significance/importance != significant coverage in reliable sources. -

Week keep and support renaming/rewrite. My glance at the sources suggest that while she may not be notable, the

Not sure what is the applicable copyediting template for 'this needs to be rewritten/refocused', it may be easier (for the nom) to withdraw this, and then rewrite the article and move it. That said,
User:Beccaynr seems to oppose such a solution. But unless the additional biographical information is significant, I think any notability she has is derived from the document, not the other way around.

Comment To clarify my perspective, it appears to me that the document derives notability from who she was, and the sources highlighted in my comment above seem to help show that, and specifically, in Effros, the link includes, starting at p. 27, a discussion of her and her biographical information, and also states, "Erminethrudis's will demonstrates the far-reaching influence a widow might exercise in conjunction with her possession if no restrictions were placed upon her." Additional details of actions she took with her will are included at p. 196. The other source is Wickham, which at pp. 66, 68, 84, 123, and 233 discusses her vineyards and land, and apparently only notes her will as a footnote at p. 3802. Who she was appears to be covered in multiple independent and reliable sources, which to varying degrees also provide
WP:SECONDARY analysis, synthesis and commentary on her life, the context, and her creation of the will. From my view, sources exist to support her notability as a person independent of the will that is relevant today because of what she accomplished during her life.

Cheers,
Piotrus, and I think the will is part of her biography, because it is something she did. There is another
source (Bouchard, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2014) with more biographical information, that also states she "was clearly an important landowner." Also, it is currently unclear to me how much there is to say about the will that is independent from her, and sufficient to justify its own article - the significance seems linked with her biography, i.e. it is notable that a woman created a will during this time period. I have not yet found sources (at least in part because I have not attempted to translate non-English sources) suggesting the will is related to an independent legal principle, but I would consider that a stronger justification for an article focused on the will, if those sources emerge. In the meantime, her BLP will not be the most lengthy of articles, but I think there is enough to create a biography that includes her will and its significance based on the currently available sources.

Comment: I don't know this scholar's work and can't argue confidently for their notability, but I do see many (50+) papers on Google Scholar by an author "J Viteli".

The result was delete. Moving past the SNG v GNG debate, the primary point of difference in the views around whether the coverage in the sources provided is routine or not (for GNG). I assess the consensus on this issue as being to delete the article.

Q1: How is this guideline related to the general notability guideline? A1: The topic-specific notability guidelines described on this page do not replace the general notability guideline. They are intended only to stop an article from being quickly deleted when there is very strong reason to believe that significant, independent, non-routine, non-promotional secondary coverage from multiple reliable sources is available, given sufficient time to locate it. Wikipedia's standard for including an article about a given person is not based on whether or not he/she has attained certain achievements, but on whether or not the person has received appropriate coverage in reliable sources, in accordance with the general notability guideline. Also refer to Wikipedia's basic guidance on the notability of people for additional information on evaluating notability.)
Q2: If a sports figure meets the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean he/she does not have to meet the general notability guideline? A2: No, the article must still eventually provide sources indicating that the subject meets the general notability guideline. Although the criteria for a given sport should be chosen to be a very reliable predictor of the availability of appropriate secondary coverage from reliable sources, there can be exceptions. For contemporary persons, given a reasonable amount of time to locate appropriate sources, the general notability guideline should be met in order for an article to meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. (For subjects in the past where it is more difficult to locate sources, it may be necessary to evaluate the subject's likely notability based on other persons of the same time period with similar characteristics.)
Q3: If a sports figure does not meet the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean he/she does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards? A3: No, it does not mean this—if the subject meets the general notability guideline, then he/she meets Wikipedia's standards for having an article in Wikipedia, even if he/she does not meet the criteria for the appropriate sports-specific notability guideline. The sports-specific notability guidelines are not intended to set a higher bar for inclusion in Wikipedia: they are meant to provide some buffer time to locate appropriate reliable sources when, based on rules of thumb, it is highly likely that these sources exist.)
To pass
WP:GNG, the subject has to have received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. So if a number of national or major state news publications write a number (GNG only says multiple) of indepth articles on a baseball player, young or old, amateur or professional, then there is a good chance that he passes the notable criteria for a stand-alone article.

Delete - Alvaldi is of course completely correct, as he has demonstrated, that meeting GNG is sufficient. Also, it matters not a whit what the articles are about - they could be about t-ball. GNG doesn't care. So we don't care. If they are GNG worthy, so is the subject. I just, same as yankees, don't see these articles as meeting GNG. But those who hang their hat on this other, faulty, argument are incorrect in their assertions.

Keep Meets GNG on the basis of the SI and SA Express articles, and once GNG is met NBASE does not matter. The argument that those two sources are too routine (regardless of whether that is true or not, which is highly subjective) is a misapplication of policy; nowhere does GNG discount routine coverage. Rather,
WP:ROUTINE is part of
WP:NEVENTS and says that an event might not merit an article even if it meets GNG. An event notability guideline should not be applied to a biography. --
King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠03:42, 22 July 2021 (UTC)reply
The "SI article" is coverage of one game and is part of its "Fan Nation-Longhorns Country" section. That's not significant coverage. Pretty much every athlete who ever played a high school sport has been mentioned in an article on a game and there's no way they're all WP notable. It's highly debatable that even two good sources are enough to meet
WP:GNG and these are not that good.

The (euphemistically) "lede" and the first two sections could be removed with no loss at all, as could the first half of section three. Then we are finally getting into material not covered elsewhere, and - is it? Is this just the claims of one guy (Ferorelli)?

WP:BLP of a mayor, not adequately referenced as passing
WP:NPOL #2. As always, mayors are not deemed "inherently" notable just because they exist, so making a mayor notable enough for inclusion is not a question of just showing minimal verification that she exists -- mayoral notability is a question of demonstrating her political significance, by writing and sourcing substantive content about specific things she did as mayor, specific projects she spearheaded, significant effects she had on the development of the community, and on and so forth. But this just verifies her initial election as mayor and sources a small amount of trivia about her career background, which is not enough in and of itself.

Campaign coverage and verification of election results doesn't cut it. We require coverage about the political impact of her mayoralty: specific things she did as mayor, specific projects she spearheaded, specific effects she had on the development of the city, and on and so forth — just sourcing that she ran and won, something which we can always do for every single mayor who ever mayored in every place that ever had mayors, is not in and of itself enough. We have to be able to write a substantive article about her political significance, not just a short blurb about her election results and a baby.

National news sources found it politically significant that she is the first woman elected mayor of the
Cape Breton Regional Municipality, that she began her term by bringing her child to work, and that she participated in
World Down Syndrome Day, so these sources appear to support
WP:BASIC, and the in-depth features focused on her appear to support
WP:NPOL, and can allow a more in-depth article to be developed. There is also more biographical information available from

None of those are "national" sources. The CBC's local news bureau in Nova Scotia does not reify into "national" coverage just because the URL happens to have the letters "CBC" in it — it's still coverage from a local affiliate, and not coverage from the national news division in Toronto. Same goes for Global Halifax and CTV Atlantic: that's local coverage, not "national" coverage, because it comes from the local affiliates and not the national news divisions. It's the same as in the United States: just because
KXAS-TV happens to be an NBC affiliate does not mean that its local news stories about local topics in Fort Worth automatically transform into "nationalized" coverage from
NBC News.

Here is another feature article from a national source,
Cape Breton elects Amanda McDougall as its first female mayor (Canadian Press, 2020) and if the 'local' news is published on national websites, it may be a distinction without a difference. My point ultimately is that she appears to meet the guidelines for
WP:BASIC notability and
WP:NPOL as written, and the article can be expanded with the variety of sources posted in this discussion.
Beccaynr (

WP:SECONDARYanalysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas, including but not limited to reporting about her being the first woman mayor, which requires a synthesis of facts related to the number of women previously elected to the post, and per policy, Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from reliable secondary sources.

No, local vs. national coverage is not a "distinction without a difference" in Canada just because the local news bureaux post their reportage to local sections of the parent corporation's website instead of each having their own standalone websites — the distinction between local vs. national coverage still works exactly the same way as it does in the United States, you just have to look in different places to determine which of those things any given piece of coverage is.

I clearly have more to learn about news distribution in Canada, and I appreciate the clarification - in the US, local affiliates are often not so smoothly integrated with their national parent websites, and instead have their own websites, which makes it easier to identify and consider as more limited in scope. But, as noted above, she still has coverage in The Canadian Press, and my comments have been intended to highlight how her coverage is more than the more obviously local (at least to me) Cape Breton Post.

"Quoted as giver of soundbite in news article about some other subject besides herself" is not support for notability. "The local newspaper covered her campaign for a local municipal council seat, in exactly the same equal-time way that it always covers every candidate in every municipal election in its coverage area" is not support for notability. "Speaking to a House of Commons committee" is not a notability claim per se, and neither is "was scheduled to speak to a House of Commons committee but got cancelled because of a filibuster". And on and so forth: we're looking for content about her political impact and her effect on the political, social and economic development of the city, not just "any news article whatsoever that can be found with her name in it".

If you read the article about her filibustered committee appearance, it's specifically about a pilot program for Cape Breton which she was pushing for, the articles about the port issue were specifically about what she was doing to address the issue, the Down's syndrome articles are specifically about her advocacy and relation to it, etc... - those aren't just articles with her name in it, they're specific content about her political impact and her effect on the political, social and economic development of the city.

Keep Per user guidelines WP:AVOIDCOI I am disclosing that I have a vested interest in this page as I am the subject. I believe this page was created by Warner Brothers in 2005-2006 upon the release of "
Firewall (film)" and has been up for 15 plus years. As a novice, I attempted to update this page and failed to provide proper citation. For that I want to express my apologies, and also my appreciation for this community's rigor in keeping with Wiki's mission. I provide the following citation for the editor's reviews: Regarding "
Firewall (film)" and my career as a screenwriter of note, I was included in the 2009 documentary Tales From the Script which is a compendium of notable screenwriters of the period:
[29] Tales From the Script was also released as a book with the same title and is still available in print.
[30] In both the film and book I discuss my career and my process. During this time I was also interviewed widely about my process in the following journals: WGA Magazine, February 2006
[31] Creative Screening Writing, January February 2006, article by David Konow (for which there is no online link) and Final Draft's Script Magazine, November/December 2011 in which my career as a writer, painter and director of The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur are of the focus of the article and puts me in the company of the most notable screenwriters of that period.
[32] On Friday, February 10th, 2006, "
Firewall (film)" was reviewed in the New York Times by Manola Dargis and I was specifically mentioned by name.
[33] I have had numerous projects announced in Daily Variety, including Soviet Cowboy (1996) which I wrote for two-time academy award winner "
Jodie Foster" and French Film director "
Mathieu Kassovitz". On Wednesday, October 24, 2007 an article appeared in Daily Variety announcing that I was to adapt Natsuo Kirino's novel "
Out (novel)" which won Japan's Grand Prix Award for crime fiction. There are currently no online links, but I can provide scans of hard copies if required by the editor. In 2013, I became a Film Independent Fellow of Film Independent's Documentary Director's Lab with my film The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur.
[34] In 2015, The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur premiered at a host of notable film festivals including DocUtah
[35] and Hot Springs Film Festival
[36] The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur was release in 2016 and continues to stream on Amazon where is in wide circulation and well reviewed
[37] As noted above, The Man Who Saved Ben-Hur is part of the USC film archive
[38] Regarding my work as a painter, which is integrally intertwined with my career as a filmmaker and visual artist, I offer the following references. World on Fire, Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock (2021)
[39] On Men, Castelli Art Space (2019)
[40] The End of Paper, Center for the Arts Eagle Rock (2017)
[41] Nothing is Waster, Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock (2015)
[42] Seeing Double, Pomona, California
[43] Wonder, James Grey Gallery, Bergamot Station (2008) and Opening Day, The Regency Gallery (2007)
[44] All of these shows have taken place in the thriving, international arts hub of Los Angeles. The 2007 show, in particular, was part of Los Angeles Downtown arts and seen by thousands of visitors.
[45] As a filmmaker, writer and artist I belong to a specific time and place in Los Angeles culture and the film community and have worked with several of the leading artists of my time. As my career is not complete and I am still working (I am adapting the comic book series Back Track at Sony's 3000 pictures with Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) directing), I believe it is premature to assess the impact I have had, and that impact cannot be fairly assessed if my page is buried or not to be found. Finally, to subsume me in the "
Firewall (film)" is unfair as I am the originator and author of that project, and therefore a separate entity from Warner Brothers whose contribution to the film was as financier and distributor, and not as one of the key and primary filmmakers. Again, thank you for your rigor and kind consideration in this matter.

Thanks for the time you spent assembling these links, but they are more like what one might list on a resume or cv, and not an encyclopedia. What is needed to establish notability is significant coverage
WP:SIGCOV (more than a mention) in secondary (not primary, such as interviews) verifiable
WP:V reliable sources
WP:RS that are independent of the subject of the article. So blogs, amazons sales links or reviews or film rental links, user-submitted content like IMDb, calendar listings, announcements, press releases, PR material and the like do not count towards meeting notability criteria. If you can narrow the above down to 3 or 4 that you think might fit SIGCOV in RS, that will help the editors here to analyze the material. What is important is what others (art and film critics for example) have said about you. Merging content into the notable film Firewall is definitely not a bad option.

This is an immense wall of cruft detailing characters in an obscure TV show that ran for barely two seasons. Most of it is written in an in-universe style and the only sources are to the work of fiction itself. And I can't find anything better.

Is it
WP:SNOWing in July right now?. We literally have lists of characters for nearly ALL other notable TV series with a ton of characters. Issues of in-universe descriptions, crufty content and only primary sources to episodes being used are issues of clean-up, not notability which is a typical metric we use for Afd descriptions. Please think about
Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup the next time you find a list article like this.

On the contrary, the problem of primary sources only absolutely is a notability issue. And excessive character lists like this one get deleted all the time, eg:
[46],
[47],
[48]. Unfortunately,
WP:NOTCLEANUP doesn't apply when the problems in an article are insurmountable even with all the cleanup in the world.

*Delete - Character lists can certainly be a valid spinout article for a piece of media, but they still need to actually be supported by reliable, secondary sources. They don't automatically get a pass from the requirements for
WP:LISTN or the
WP:GNG, and this particular character list is unable to pass either one of them. I can find no reliable, secondary sources discussing the characters in the series in general, nor was I able to find any on any of the individual main characters. I also checked the equivalent page on the Japanese Wikipedia to see if that potentially included any non-English sources that could be used, but it turns out that its completely absent of any reliable sources there, as well.

I'm no fan of the show and have never seen it. It's just that it's typical for the most notable TV series, such as The Office, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Seinfeld to have character lists, often with the only cited sources being primary. My judgement, looking retrospectively, wasn't good given that it's
WP:OTHERSTUFF logic. I'll be happy to userfy, though. I'd say it depends on how many recurring and starring characters there are and how it would make the article about the show
WP:TOOBIG, but other users may decided that.

Moot/malformed request. If
The Galaxy Railways is notable, then a list of characters for it is expected and relies on those same RS'es whether or not they are included in this list article per
WP:NEXIST. If the series is not notable, however, then the series and all dependent articles like this should be deleted together. As such, the nomination articulates no policy-based rationale for deleting only this list of characters article. As has been pointed out above, 'cruft' (itself a non-policy based and pejorative word) is not solved by deletion, but by actually editing it out.

Notability is

WP:FIXIT. You have to remember that lists can always be re-created with found sourcing by those who have time to work on them (this goes for those pushing for inclusion and deletion alike). -

Even if the show has some sources that demonstrate notability, if they don't actually provide any information on the characters, which I can't find any that do, then all this article consists of is information that is almost entirely unsourced - the vast majority of the items here are not even sourced to primary sources, let alone reliable, secondary sources. And the notability of a given topic does not give a pass to any spinout articles from needing to actually have sourced information. As I mentioned above, even the Japanese Wikipedia article on the topic contains no reliable sources providing information on the characters, so unless sources can be found that do, we can't just keep a lot of information that we can't even demonstrate that
WP:NEXIST for.

On the contrary, we've long held that "List of XYZ characters" and "XYZ" are not identically the same topic. Just because there may be sources to support an article on XYZ, this does not guarantee an article on "List of XYZ characters" because the list still requires sources discussing the characters as such, perferably *as* a list. One can easily imagine an article on a work of fiction for which the sources mostly talk about the setting and plot, with less focus on the characters. And, in fact, this is exactly the situation here; the parent article talks a lot about trains and such but talk of characters is limited to name drops in a plot summary. Rorshacma's delete !vote is completely correct here and, as pointed out elsewhere, this list is inherently OR owing to the lack of sources that discuss this actual topic.
ReykYO!16:48, 9 July 2021 (UTC)reply

Weak keep. Such lists are a major issue that should be discussed in a large RfC. We have tens of thousands of them. Do they meet criteria for stand-alone list (
WP:NLIST)? Hmmm. There are certainly websites out there which among others provide such lists (and not just fan wikis, for example
[50] (however, all such sites I can think of tend to rely on volunteer contribution and are part-wiki anidb.net/anime/1000 (for some reason this is on out spam blacklist),
[51],
[52], IMDb,
[53]). This may be enough to warrant keeping them as navigational aids that may meet our criteria, perhaps? The other argument I can see is that lists of characters are justifiable parts of plot summary, and can be spin-off main articles about works to stand-alone articles simply due to their lengths (this is covered under
WP:SIZESPLIT). Anyway, I believe that we should not delete lists of characters without a major RfC. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|
reply here04:45, 11 July 2021 (UTC)reply
You are going into
WP:OSE as the issue with THIS particular list is sourcing which I have yet to see offered. Nobody here is saying that we need to delete every character list out there just because this particular one is up for deletion. If you have sources to include the information then great... add them, if not then as an anime fan myself it does little good reading the storyline based off an opinion of someone who already watched the series (we have Wikia for that). -

Keep I agree with the rational others have made. Every notable series has a character list article if its too large to fit all valid information in its main article. Spinoff articles for this, list of episodes, and whatnot, are always perfectly valid.
DreamFocus10:57, 12 July 2021 (UTC)reply
Keep As per
MOS:PLOTSOURCE, it is acceptable to have no sourcing as it is assumed the work itself is the source for plot summaries (and by extension, character summaries). While merging this article back to its parent is the obvious
WP:ATD, it would not be the best option as it would make the characters section half of the article, a clear example of
WP:UNDUE. However, a cleaned up and denser version could be mergeable, and I wouldn't be opposed someone bold merging if such version is created.

Delete - Article is purely fancruft, with the only sources on the article being primary ones. No solid sources have been raised in this discussion to add to the article, and even if the show's notable, I don't think that justifies a massive unsourced list of characters from the show. A brief list of the main characters on the main article would be more apt.

Waxworker said above that No solid sources have been raised in this discussion, however, that is false as Jclemens provided a link that suggests sources exist in books and other print publications. I would say in this case this is simply a
WP:SIZESPLIT, so it is alright to be included per that, though like others stated above, a full RfC over this may not be a bad idea. Sources for plot are also not generally needed per

I responded to Jclemen's comment regarding source already to point out that none of the sources that appear in the link he provided actually discuss any of the characters at all. In fact, the sources that come up barely discuss the actual series at all, with most of them simply mentioning it as an example of one of Leiji Matsumoto works, with almost no actual coverage or discussion of it.
Rorshacma (

06:20, 16 July 2021 (UTC)reply
In most cases, the actual sections of the books in which the show is mentioned are fully available to view. For example, the first listing that comes up with Jclemen's link is
this book, where The Galaxy Railroad is only mentioned in a single sentence in a section about another of Leiji Matsumoto's works,
Galaxy Express 999. The coverage of this particular series is literally limited to the sentence "The much later Maetel Legend OAV and the Galaxy Railways TV series are currently the most accessible glimpses of the Galaxy Express 999' universe available in English". And that's it. Similarly, the section that
this book and
this book mention the series are all fully viewable in Google books, and in both cases they are again, single sentence mentions. The only real source that comes up in the search that is only available as a snippet view is
this one. I've done searches under the titles "The Galaxy Express", "Galaxy Express", "Ginga Tetsudō Monogatari", as well as doing my best to go through Japanese language sources, and I'm barely finding enough coverage in reliable sources to support the article on the actual series, let alone a spinout character article that can't even really be said to pass the basic tenants of
WP:V. If anyone can point to a specific reliable source that actually supports any of the information currently in this article, please do, since I've spent quite a bit of time trying myself, and have not succeeded.

Keep/Potential Merge - I concur completely with Knowledgekid87 at this point, and have similarly struck my earlier vote. The reviews found definitely have coverage of the main characters of the series. Thus, as mentioned, I would also suggest vastly trimming this down to only include those main characters with sourced information. At that point, the list would be manageable enough that it would likely make sense to merge it back into the main article on the series rather than being kept as a separate list, however the discussion regarding that decision can be conducted later on, and does not have to be made here.

The article consists of mostly two paragraphs and there is nor ever was any independence negotiation going on. The term 'two-state solution' isn't even used by most sources. Even one of the sources which is The End of Iraq: How American Incompetence Created a War Without End by Peter W. Galbraith doesn't mention any term like 80% solution.
The first para in the article is about the definition. The second is about Iraq's refusal to recognize any independence referendum by Iraqi Kurdistan in 2017 and invading areas under it's control. And fact is nearly all governments and Iraq doesn't want an independent Kurdistan. This article's content is irrelevant and can be just easily included in

Delete worst geopolitics article I’ve seen since the now-deleted

Delete – I find it unlikely that this list even passes

Does not meet
WP:GNG. This article is about a "computer industry jargon" or slang term and but does not provide sufficient evidence that it is actually used beyound a few blog posts (which are not
relaible sources) and unreachable PDFs. If anything, the only supported statements demonstrates non-notability of this term ("the term 'mashup' is not formally defined by any standard-setting body") and attempts to promote this term ("over time, increasing maturity and standardization of mashup technology will likely make it more popular than portal technology").

This term is well-known and exists in the
dictionaries
If you don't like the jargon "mashup", you can call it "composite application" like French people
fr:Application composite. The name doesn't really matter, what matters is this concept the article describes. Of course you live today where everything on the web is a mashup/composite application so you don't really care, but back then it was like a very new, very revolutionary thing, people might be like "Wow, how can you mix this and that together on a webpage?" So the concept has a pretty important role in
Web 2.0 and in Internet history
Most references are reachable and look reliable
There are many ways to recover unreachable URLs. It's a technical issue. The URL is dead doesn't mean the source is unreliable or should be deleted. Please read
WP:404
I don't think "Mashup" is a trademark that belongs to anyone, I don't see anyone could promote the term for their own benefit
Also please note that unreliable sources and potential promotional tone don't affect the general notability of the subject in question. Please use templates, or just go ahead to clean up the paragraphs, add more sources, fix dead links by adding
Internet Archive links, instead of deleting the long article altogether
Mashup (digital),
Mashup enabler was merged into this article (if you delete this article, you'd delete everything that was merged into the article too)
24 other language versions
618 pages link to this article (you'd break a lot of things if you delete this article)
Btw I think the current English article is a little confusing, the german version
de:Mashup (Internet) is concise and worth reading, it has many examples and published books as sources. The French version
fr:Application composite is also not bad. Those non-English versions could be used to improve the English article. --

Appears to be a content fork from
Innovation. As far as I can see, there is no coherent concept called "radical innovation", distinct from innovation, that extends beyond any single scholar. It's just a common
collocation meaning more profound innovation. Also concerns about self-promotion.
Delete - The two sources cited in the first paragraph contradict each other (either the concept is pretty much interchangeable with disruptive innovation, per Mary Pratt, or it's something quite different, per Daniel Newman) and the paragraph does nothing to reconcile them. Like the nom, I find no coherent concept here: this does not rise to the level of original research. —

"Geocast" is not a thing. It's a proposed idea, which has not been (and arguably could not be) implemented. The article, and the links to it from other pages, all appear to have been created by one person, and only reference a single very academic paper, which proposes it as a hypothetical neat idea. But it's a neat idea which was never fleshed out enough to be realizable. So I guess I'd place this at the intersection set of "
not notable," "
not verifiable," "
patent nonsense," "
neologism" and "
original research." But it's definitely not a thing and the article (and all the links to it that were scattered around in other articles) are very misleading and use a lot of obfuscatory jargon, implying that it is a thing. This is very misleading, would lead the average reader to the misconclusion that there's a thing called "geocast" which exists in the world, and thus should not appear in an encyclopedia.

I am also nominating the following related pages because they follow the same pattern... Same creator, interlinking internal references, only the one external reference which is a paper by the author of the pages:
While I absolutely agree in principle, this was a single paper, twenty four years ago with one person's idea, which never sparked any follow-on, or discussion, or implementation, or commentary, until one person recently began plastering cookie-cutter reference to that one paper all over unrelated Wikipedia articles. So, if it was an idea that had been the genesis of work or discussion by others, absolutely, but it dropped without a ripple in 1997. And the bar for publishing academic papers is notoriously low. I'd probably be more sympathetic if the idea were implementable, but it's not. If it were, it would be valuable, but the same is true of perpetual motion, alchemy, cold fusion, etc., which is why I include
WP:PN.

Perhaps I pulled the trigger too quickly. You're right, that it appears to be a well-established term within the context of experimental vehicle-to-vehicle wireless networking, which I don't know anything about. All of the references to it were being jammed into Internet routing articles, where it's not applicable. So, maybe the only problem to be fixed is a clean-up of the article that clearly scopes it to vehicle-to-vehicle wireless networking, rather than "networking" writ large, and updates the citations?

I rarely bring articles to AfD with as much scorn as the one presented here. It is a definitionally imprecise, source-bare piece of mush that has no place on the encyclopedia. In 1,085 words, it struggles to say what could be said more concisely in one sentence—without an article—and provides poor-quality examples, conflating educational and commercial statewide television services and sometimes considering a "state network" to cover a part of a state, which is an untenable definition. The topic term itself is something of a neologism, being mostly used in the names of entities in television and radio and not as a topic of study itself. Sure, there are statewide public television networks in a variety of US states, but this article is among our worst in broadcasting. It has no place here. It should be deleted.

WP:SIGCOV. My
WP:BEFORE search could only find content on a Peruvian singer of the same name. Additionally, the sources themselves give different names, one Gabriel Aragón Bermúdez and the other Gabriel Aragón Gómez, making me question if there is some sort of confusion between two different men in the sourcing of the article. The lead mentions the saxophone but then the infobox mentions singer (perhaps confusion with the singer from Peru?). It's a bit of a mess, and it's difficult to verify its authenticity as a subject. Admittedly foreign language references may exist outside my expertise in locating.

Since most of the article is about his clown career (with possible confusion with another singer, as noted by the nominator), we can assume the clown team is the point of reference. Unless Señor Aragón received coverage in old books or magazines for individual activities, I see little reason for him to have his own WP article outside of the group. Memories of their team TV show are easier to find in Spanish language sources. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Editors should not publish articles before they are ready for the mainspace. No editor has an obligation to 'wait and see', and when articles are not flagged initially they are often never flagged at all, and we end up with countless unsuitable articles. As for appearing to have a "good level of sourcing" - four of the five sources are routine stories re the opening of a new mall, the fifth is apparently about a department store going bankrupt. The coverage is just routine news about a new mall opening, and as noted in the nom, there is a consensus that malls of this size are generally not notable. Performing a headcount of sources is not always enough to determine notability.

I am concerned that this is a
biography of a low profile individual, who has not sought out publicity. We must take care and ensure sensitivity and privacy concerns are thought about when writing BLPs. Sure, if my kids got the best A-level marks and qualified to go to Oxbridge, and got a note in the local paper, I'd feel pretty chuffed - but it doesn't mean I'd want an encyclopedia article about them.
The article would sit better as part of

Pender is not low profile, she's already been reported in four different national news media (Times, Telegraph, Guardian, BBC) as well as local newspapers. The initial redirect which effectively deleted page (without discussion) suggested that Pender was notable for only one event
WP:BLP1E . This is not the case, the organisation she founded now has 45 clubs nationally and is tackling an important issue. This is not about whether her parents (or even Sophie herself) want a wikipedia biography but about whether she is notable, which she clearly is. @

Keep or merge. Clearly not a low profile individual and the rationale that we'd be "protecting" an adult by deleting her biography feels paternalistic. If the subject requested deletion herself I might consider it, but this ain't that. Using Google News, I could find only one news items about the
93% Club that doesn't mention Pender.

Redirect to 93% Club as the sources focus on the club rather than her as an individual, so there is no need for a separate article.--

Redirect to the organization per above. The
WP:SIGCOV is of the org not the person. As a general rule, WP should never be the first place to write a biography of a person. The sigcov for a WP bio needs to be other bios, not just some coverage of a person in an article about something else.

Keep, per
WP:SIGCOV from the BBC and The Guardian. There is ample coverage of Sophie as well as the organisation. Being quoted and covered in such major publications means she is not low profile, IMO.

Redirect. Can attest from AfC that irrespective of gender, it’s common to tell org leaders that if they are only known for work with that org, it’s a fairly high bar to merit a content fork from it. Speaking of Dear Leader, Jimbo just acknowledged this issue
the other day.

Non-notable film, lacking significant coverage by independent sources, possibly a redirection or a merge to a series article would be appropriate, per
