  • keep We have an interview and an article in an academic publication, which is more than nothing and passes WP:GNG with 2 sources. More sources would be better. In the case of publishers and publications which are themselves WP:Reliable sources used to back other Wikipedia articles with citations, I think we should accept fewer sources than typical even if it means a more bare article. I do not think we quite have a guideline for trade journals like this, but we do have Wikipedia:Notability (academic journals) which makes a similar case for academic journals.

Has competed in events that were open to both professionals and amateurs, but this alone does not satisfy WP:NSPORT or WP:GNG. These events had amateur qualifying sections, through which a set number of amateurs would qualify to appear in the main draw - from the last 128 onward - of the event, joining the professionals who were seeded to that stage; this is the only claim Ben Jones has to notability, and it's flimsy at best. If we are to agree that he's notable on that basis, we'll need to go about creating articles for every single amateur who's ever qualified to the first round of the Riga Open/Riga Masters, Paul Hunter Classic, or Gibraltar Open snooker tournaments...without putting it too bluntly, Ben from the snooker club might be a great player, but as per our guidelines and - frankly - common sense, an article with his name on it doesn't belong on Wikipedia.

Though this article may be FA, there is significant concern that it fails to meet notability guidelines, particularly WP:PAGEDECIDE. Doug Ring is notable, the 1948 Australian cricket team is notable, but there is not enough significant coverage to justify a specific article on Doug Ring's performance as part of the 1948 team. The article quite literally says, and I quote, "Ring was not prominent in the team's success." Much of this article is either statistics, or a repeat of what is already included in the article Doug Ring. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 21:52, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply

The user in question has an entire featured topic to their name. I fail to see how deletion of one article somehow affects their legacy. If you are wondering where this came from, take a look at Talk:Doug Ring and Wikipedia:Featured article review/Doug Ring with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948/archive1. The decision to nominate a featured article for deletion was not made lightly. Significant concerns have been raised about its notability. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 22:09, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply
And I fail to see why the user matters at all. The article isn't worthy of inclusion, and that it was written by a much missed user does not matter even slightly in assessing its notability. 5225C ( talkcontributions) 02:00, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I sort of suggested this come to AfD as a way of reaching a wider audience than a merge discussion would. I hadn't realised that it had been nominated in 2014 and read that discussion with interest. I am swayed by Sarastro1's comments there (Sarastro1 is rarely around these days). There are clearly sources which exist and Sarastro1 was of the belief, having read them, that there was about enough coverage to justify the article from the POV of whether sources provide enough detail. That's a persuasive argument.
There are other arguments that can be made, and I'm unsure of the best approach to take here, other than that a merge would clearly need to be very, very selective and probably also very limited in scope.
If I'd have realised the 2014 discussion had taken place I'm not sure that I'd have suggested an AfD now fwiw, but there you go. Sorry about that. Blue Square Thing ( talk) 23:16, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply
I concur that it isn't a cut and dry situation, even as the nominator I am not 100% certain the article should be deleted. From reading the previous discussion, what struck me is the argument that an encyclopedia should not just be an indiscriminate collection of information. Particularly, I was struck by Calthan's comments in the discussion, some of which I will quote here:
"I've always seen this series of articles as being a failure to condense the subject into an encyclopedia article (or articles). Books focusing on a notable subject would generally be expected to cover the subject in detail, and just because information can be cited to books doesn't mean that it should be included in an encyclopedia article. An essential part of writing an encyclopedia article is selecting the portions of the information available that are important to understanding the topic. This article consists primarily of information such as the score or outcome at different points in different matches. Those are minute details that are not at all essential to understanding the main notable subject of the Australian cricket team in England in 1948. Except for the "role" section, this article is all material that encyclopedia editors should have selected to not include in Wikipedia."
There are valid points that were raised by the keep voters, but it is also true that standards on Wikipedia have changed since 2014, and this article deserves reassessment of its notability, or lack thereof. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 23:29, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. It does seem a bit much to have articles on each player in a single test series, however important that series may appear to be (though, I note that there is no mention of the series in Test cricket). And then there is Ring's record in the series (1 test, 9 runs, 1 wicket) which can pretty much be summed up as "didn't do much, did he?" (though he seems to have done a lot better against the county teams). Much though I'd like to say "keep" out of respect for YM who is much missed on wikipedia, merge is probably the right choice. -- RegentsPark ( comment) 00:00, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. I was the nominator last time this article was up for deletion, and although the consensus was in favor of keeping it, in the intervening years there has been no further demonstration of notability and consensus can change. St Anselm ( talk) 00:09, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Merge with Doug Ring. ( JayPlaysStuff | talk to me | What I've been up to) 01:14, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Merge § Role to Doug Ring, delete. I was initially very convinced that this article should simply be deleted, but following conversation at the FAR I can appreciate that it's a bit more complex than that. The bulk of this article is, as mentioned above, unencyclopedic statistics. The statistics are only really placed in context in the Role section, and even then some of that content appears to be original research. I do not believe that notability is established in the article, I don't see a claim to significance or to importance, and to the contrary the article downplays its own significance. It's debatable as to whether all the almanacs/etc. can be used to establish notability, and maybe for other players they could, but when the lead introduces the subject as unimportant then I don't get why there's an independent article on it.
I do not believe that the previous AfDs (both for this article and the group nomination) were good discussions. A lot of comments were essentially "it's an FA" and a few were a bit kooky in their definitions of notability and Wikipedia's purpose. WP:ILIKEIT isn't a reason to keep it. To me, this article seems to be a bit of quirk of Wikipedia, a kind of remnant of when the site was a lot less bureaucratic and standards for inclusion were much laxer. If an article of this kind were created today I don't think it'd make a week, let alone pass as an FA. Our standards have changed and in my view its wrong to grandfather in articles which can't be brought up to the current standard. The FAR isn't gaining much traction and it looks as though the article will remain pretty much as it is.
If we're going to accept a collection of stats (and admittedly a pretty big collection) as combining to prove notability, it begs the question of how far we can stretch inclusion guidelines. I don't think this article meets them, and although we might not be a paper encyclopaedia there needs to be a reasonable limit to how far down a rabbit hole we can go. In this case, I think the limit is probably a step up from this, and we should have stopped with Australian cricket team in England in 1948 and Doug Ring. 5225C ( talkcontributions) 02:00, 31 October 2021 (UTC), amended 08:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. As the one who originally raised issues with the article here, I was concerned by issues with OR and inappropriate synthesis/editorializing. As it currently stands, the article heavily relies on game summaries and statistics. In my opinion, this signals a lack of notability; game summaries and statistics are common to most professional sporting events and therefore fail to indicate lasting significance. Moreover, when considering the additional sources used in this article, the topic's notability seems to be inferred from the fact that the team as a whole is notable, but notability is not inherited. To put it another way, I am concerned that allowing the article to remain as-is would send the message that articles about an athlete's performance in a single year, season, or comparable time span are inherently notable, which is not a precedent I think we should set. As a comparison, the 1972 Miami Dolphins were a historically successful team like Ring's 1948 team, but that should not imply that articles for Bob Griese with the Miami Dolphins in 1972, Earl Morrall with the Miami Dolphins in 1972, Larry Csonka with the Miami Dolphins in 1972, etc., are notable topics for inclusion on Wikipedia. RunningTiger123 ( talk) 03:19, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Selective merge to Doug Ring This is a contentious subject given that the article is a FA, however it's my view that as wikipedia has moved on there probably isn't a need for this kind of article given the subject's limited participation on the tour. Articles such as this for Don Bradman, Sid Barnes or many other on the tour are perfectly acceptable, but because Doug Ring played such a limited role on the tour in terms of test cricket a merge would be best here. In the FAR it was found that Wisden only had limited coverage on the subject and so GNG was likely to be an issue, but merging is a suitable WP:ATD. However as Blue Square Thing brought up in the FAR on the subject, a lot of the detail in this subject is already included at Doug Ring and if lots were to be merged then the Doug Ring article would become excessive and over detailed. Therefore a selective merge is required, likely to be done by someone from the Cricket WikiProject or with a close interest in the subject. Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 10:07, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Merge. I recall raising my eyebrows when I saw this at TFA. There's far from enough coverage to justify a standalone article here; a combination of prose content that could be covered elsewhere, and statistics that Wikipedia is not a database for. Vanamonde ( Talk) 18:02, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Selective merge to Doug Ring. Do not delete; as a FA this seems like a case where there could be benefit to retaining page history, and given the status and history of this article my guess is that's there's outside links here that would be broken if deleted. With that said, I don't see any notability in this subject. A notable athlete on a notable team, but too much detail for an instance where there isn't significant coverage or a significant role by this player. The others may be salvageable, though.

  • Merge selectively. Ring's role in the tour is relatively minor. Coverage of his participation is trivial and mostly appears to be routine match reporting. While he was relatively successful in tour matches outside of the Test series, this is not covered in detail by reliable sources. He is mentioned in passing in Wisden and while he is championed by Bill O'Reilly as a potential Test player, though this appears to be more about O'Reilly criticising Bradman than about Ring.

  • Merge (selectively) into Ring's bio and the tour article where the content is not undue in those articles. Although both tour and player are notable, the cross-section is not. There is insufficient material to sustain an independent article without venturing into original synthesis based on statistics, and his role in the tour has not been covered extensively in reliable third-party sources. Nonetheless, the page history should be preserved in case it's useful in the future. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:05, 5 November 2021 (UTC) reply

The subject of this article does not appear to satisfy general notability because he does not have significant coverage by independent secondary sources. Review of sources shows that they do not appear to be independent and secondary. Review of sources also found at least one case where the text appears to be almost the same as the machine translation of the Albanian source.

Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
Pirusti News About the town in which he was born Yes No, could not find mention of subject Yes Yes
Rainca.com Account of his life No Yes Yes No
Tupalla.com Was not able to get machine translation from Albanian No - This is the web site of the town of his birth. Yes
plus-televizion.tv/ About his unit rather than about him Yes Not about the subject Yes No
www.botasot.info/ Passing mention of subject Yes No Probably No

Article was created in article space by originator, then moved back into draft space by User:GPL93, and declined by User:Eternal Shadow and User:Idoghor Melody. Originator then copy-pasted article from draft space to article space. History merge has been requested, but does not mean that it is ready for article space.

The subject very likely is notable, but this draft does not demonstrate notability, as well as having tone problems. Draftification is probably in order, but unilateral draftification would be move-warring. Robert McClenon ( talk) 17:58, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply

Non-notable Pokemon that fails WP:GNG, all sources are trivial mentions rather than WP:SIGCOV, and pulled from articles not actually about Bidoof itself. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 16:57, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply

I take the view that the debate over the coverage from the Kotaku sources is irrelevant. Even though Kotaku have published articles entirely about the character, they seem to be within the context of or related to the "Bidoof Day" promotional event run by Nintendo and the developers, as opposed to a proper observation or analysis about the character's prominence or otherwise . Even the Rickroll video was not made by an uninvolved third party (i.e. fan or critic), but Pokemon company employees. The aforementioned articles provide good info that can be adequately covered within the character's entry in the list article or any other related pages, but are unhelpful in demonstrating whether the topic is notable enough to warrant the presumption of a standalone page because of Wikipedia's strong policy stance against promotionalism. I am otherwise not in favor of the article itself being deleted or salted, though a permanent semi-protection to deter inexperienced editors from un-redirecting it again without good cause may be a reasonable course of action.

That's an essay, while the general notability guideline is of course a guideline. One you can ignore, the other you can not. Dream Focus 18:40, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
That's fine, sourcing that weak doesn't satisfy the GNG either. The junk scraps you've scrounged up does not constitute significant coverage. But you've got a severe blind spot for that concept, so I won't waste my time arguing further. I believe unbiased, experienced editors will see through this ruse, like they usually do. Sergecross73 msg me 19:05, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per the delete and salt opinions above. Note that I actually prefer redirection, but the vindictive opinions above force me to !vote in such a manner since enough admins seem to count noses rather than arguments. To be clear: there's enough RS coverage for this to be a standalone article, even if editorially redirecting to a list makes better sense. Jclemens ( talk) 18:13, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • What are you talking about? We held a community discussion at the Wikiproject level, got a consensus, and I even waited another week after that to wait to wait and see if there was any last interest in improving it. After a week of silence, I redirected. Someone unilaterally undid the redirect weeks later, so this AFD was created. Everything has been done entirely by the book here. Sergecross73 msg me 18:22, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
    Is a fictional rodent really the hill you want to die on? Even looking comparatively to other Pokemon, if various legendaries couldn't withstand the notability test would a totally inconsequential random Pokemon do so? I do support fictional things being articles if they are of actual critical importance, but the reception of Bidoof is totally predicated on memes. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 19:43, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
Just a general comment. The subject of a meme is treated like almost every topic on Wikipedia that is covered under WP:GNG. There are undisputably notable memes, and memes which lack that kind of prominence and is adequately covered as a section in another related article. If there are sources which provide WP:SIGCOV of the meme and makes a WP:CCOS for the topic, why would reception prose being "predicated on memes" be an issue? Haleth ( talk) 10:12, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply
To be clear, I have no problem with the redirection, but deleting the content and/or protecting the redirect is punitive, when WP:CCC and Pokemon is an active franchise. Wikipedia:Pokémon test was created in 2005, so if it were an American, it could drive now. Jclemens ( talk) 07:07, 3 November 2021 (UTC) reply
That's ridiculous. Salting is standard practice when people repeatedly recreate articles against consensus without improvement. If consensus changes, a simple discussion can remove the protection. Something that forces additional improvement and discussion in situations like this is nothing but a good thing. Your accusation of "vindictiveness" is not only baseless, but probably one of the worst examples of projection I've seen in recent memory, when you end your argument with "even if editorially redirecting to a list makes better sense". Sergecross73 msg me 01:42, 4 November 2021 (UTC) reply
Naah, I just AGF about the serial recreators better than most. Vindictiveness is a characterization, not an accusation, so please don't take offense: deletion, THEN recreating a redirect, THEN protecting that redirect is vindictive, in that deletion is unnecessary and a protected redirect will suffice. If that's you, (and per how I read this AfD, it is you and one other editor) don't fight the label, but rather reconsider whether you should refactor your input to be less vindictive. Individual Pokémon may gain notability, and when someone argues that a not-yet-notable topic with potential future notability should be deleted, rather than just redirected and the redirect protected, there's something going on besides just minimizing disruption: a value judgment that the editors in question should be prevented from ever working on that topic again without begging an admin or recreating it from scratch. So, feel free to refactor the suggestion for deletion before protection of a redirect if you don't want to be vindictive, or decline to refactor if you prefer to leave the statement as is. Jclemens ( talk) 07:23, 4 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect/Merge per Rorshacma. Honestly, the reception section is showing literally pulling every possible strand of weak , non-significant coverage (two or three sentence mentions from articles on broader topics) to try to make the character seem notable; this is equivalent to when we had editors using "listicles" to support notability. The only real significant coverage of Bidoof is related to its meme nature, and a merge/direct would allow that information to still be mentioned in the List of Pokemon (as well as over at Rickrolling since I know I added that video there way back). -- Masem ( t) 13:59, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep or Draftify - the coverage on the meme barely causes it to pass WP:GNG in my eyes. A rewrite is definitely in need, however. If the article gets redirected, I think some more time in draft space, where it was pulled from, could work if someone really wants this to stay. (Oinkers42) ( talk) 04:05, 3 November 2021 (UTC) reply
Speaking as someone who pay little attention to the Pokemon IP, the Mudkip one is better established as "culturally significant" when it comes to memes about individual Pokemon due to the coverage it generated, but it looked like the editors who participated in that AfD were not convinced that it helps the parent topic (Mudkip) pass GNG.

It was created for the reason that, despite Temujin obviously referring to Genghis Khan, because of the article on the 80s computer game of the same name, it otherwise becomes necessary to state on the Genghis Khan page that perhaps people actually meant the video game, not the historical conqueror.

A businessman ("entrepeneur" in marketing-speak) that does not meet the general notability guideline due to being bereft of coverage from independent sources. A plausible claim to significance (hence escaping the A7 speedy deletion criterion) due to his work for Forbes, and not sufficiently promotional for the G11 speedy deletion criterion (though "personal empowerment, spiritual fulfillment, overcoming adversity and building business with exit in mind" is meaningless to me).

Article about a television show, not properly referenced as passing WP:TVSHOW. Full disclosure, I was the original creator of this, well over a decade ago when we extended an automatic presumption of notability to any television show that verifiably existed at all regardless of its actual sourceability or lack thereof -- but the inclusion standards for TV shows have been considerably tightened up in the past 13 years to rely much more on the quality of the referencing, and I just can't find very much on a ProQuest search to salvage the article with: apart from two "new show debuts" articles in 2004, I otherwise just get glancing namechecks of the show's existence in tangential later coverage of its host making appearances at home design expos, so there just isn't enough coverage about this show to get it over the WP:GNG bar.

  • Delete. Being a member of a political party's organizing committee is not an "inherently" notable role that guarantees inclusion in Wikipedia irrespective of his sourceability or lack thereof, but the sourcing here is 5/7 primary sources that are not support for notability at all and 2/7 glancing namechecks of his existence in media coverage that isn't about him.

  • Delete. This could well be speedy WP:G11'd.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM. Following on from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Better Late Than Never: In Memory of Paul C, I hoped the article creator would get the message regarding the total lack of notability of this artist's albums and allow them to be redirected, but no such luck... they persist in restoring them. So here we are again, with an album sourced to the album's liner notes and a couple of WP:PRIMARY promotional interviews from the artist on non-notable YouTube channels, and no better sources can be found.

I agree the artist's own article is extremely borderline notable, and I pointed this out to the article creator as well. The artist was a member of a hip hop group in the 1990s who were certainly notable and he featured on a notable album – I know this doesn't make him notable and automatically qualify for his own article per WP:INHERITED, just saying that he does have some background pedigree at least, which makes it possible that there is better information available about him.

Unreferenced list of entirely non-notable mayors of a small town.

Even regional chairs don't get an automatic presumption of notability just for existing, because they still fall under WP:NPOL #2 as local politicians.

Kept in 2008 (bundled AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stingy Brimm) on the grounds of his best selling titles on his faculty bio and possible pass of academic notability. However under current standards, I do not see that he's well cited enough to pass that, leaving the GNG.

Autobiography, recently accepted at AfC after being declined 6 times.

Has competed in events that were open to both professionals and amateurs, but this alone does not satisfy WP:NSPORT or WP:GNG. These events had amateur qualifying sections, through which a set number of amateurs would qualify to appear in the main draw - from the last 128 onward - of the event, joining the professionals who were seeded to that stage; this is the only claim Ben Jones has to notability, and it's flimsy at best. If we are to agree that he's notable on that basis, we'll need to go about creating articles for every single amateur who's ever qualified to the first round of the Riga Open/Riga Masters, Paul Hunter Classic, or Gibraltar Open snooker tournaments...without putting it too bluntly, Ben from the snooker club might be a great player, but as per our guidelines and - frankly - common sense, an article with his name on it doesn't belong on Wikipedia.

Though this article may be FA, there is significant concern that it fails to meet notability guidelines, particularly WP:PAGEDECIDE. Doug Ring is notable, the 1948 Australian cricket team is notable, but there is not enough significant coverage to justify a specific article on Doug Ring's performance as part of the 1948 team. The article quite literally says, and I quote, "Ring was not prominent in the team's success." Much of this article is either statistics, or a repeat of what is already included in the article Doug Ring. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 21:52, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply

The user in question has an entire featured topic to their name. I fail to see how deletion of one article somehow affects their legacy. If you are wondering where this came from, take a look at Talk:Doug Ring and Wikipedia:Featured article review/Doug Ring with the Australian cricket team in England in 1948/archive1. The decision to nominate a featured article for deletion was not made lightly. Significant concerns have been raised about its notability. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 22:09, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I sort of suggested this come to AfD as a way of reaching a wider audience than a merge discussion would. I hadn't realised that it had been nominated in 2014 and read that discussion with interest. I am swayed by Sarastro1's comments there (Sarastro1 is rarely around these days). There are clearly sources which exist and Sarastro1 was of the belief, having read them, that there was about enough coverage to justify the article from the POV of whether sources provide enough detail. That's a persuasive argument.
There are other arguments that can be made, and I'm unsure of the best approach to take here, other than that a merge would clearly need to be very, very selective and probably also very limited in scope.
If I'd have realised the 2014 discussion had taken place I'm not sure that I'd have suggested an AfD now fwiw, but there you go. Sorry about that. Blue Square Thing ( talk) 23:16, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply
I concur that it isn't a cut and dry situation, even as the nominator I am not 100% certain the article should be deleted. From reading the previous discussion, what struck me is the argument that an encyclopedia should not just be an indiscriminate collection of information. Particularly, I was struck by Calthan's comments in the discussion, some of which I will quote here:
"I've always seen this series of articles as being a failure to condense the subject into an encyclopedia article (or articles). Books focusing on a notable subject would generally be expected to cover the subject in detail, and just because information can be cited to books doesn't mean that it should be included in an encyclopedia article. An essential part of writing an encyclopedia article is selecting the portions of the information available that are important to understanding the topic. This article consists primarily of information such as the score or outcome at different points in different matches. Those are minute details that are not at all essential to understanding the main notable subject of the Australian cricket team in England in 1948. Except for the "role" section, this article is all material that encyclopedia editors should have selected to not include in Wikipedia."
There are valid points that were raised by the keep voters, but it is also true that standards on Wikipedia have changed since 2014, and this article deserves reassessment of its notability, or lack thereof. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 23:29, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. It does seem a bit much to have articles on each player in a single test series, however important that series may appear to be (though, I note that there is no mention of the series in Test cricket). And then there is Ring's record in the series (1 test, 9 runs, 1 wicket) which can pretty much be summed up as "didn't do much, did he?" (though he seems to have done a lot better against the county teams). Much though I'd like to say "keep" out of respect for YM who is much missed on wikipedia, merge is probably the right choice. -- RegentsPark ( comment) 00:00, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Merge § Role to Doug Ring, delete. I was initially very convinced that this article should simply be deleted, but following conversation at the FAR I can appreciate that it's a bit more complex than that. The bulk of this article is, as mentioned above, unencyclopedic statistics. The statistics are only really placed in context in the Role section, and even then some of that content appears to be original research. I do not believe that notability is established in the article, I don't see a claim to significance or to importance, and to the contrary the article downplays its own significance. It's debatable as to whether all the almanacs/etc. can be used to establish notability, and maybe for other players they could, but when the lead introduces the subject as unimportant then I don't get why there's an independent article on it.
I do not believe that the previous AfDs (both for this article and the group nomination) were good discussions. A lot of comments were essentially "it's an FA" and a few were a bit kooky in their definitions of notability and Wikipedia's purpose. WP:ILIKEIT isn't a reason to keep it. To me, this article seems to be a bit of quirk of Wikipedia, a kind of remnant of when the site was a lot less bureaucratic and standards for inclusion were much laxer. If an article of this kind were created today I don't think it'd make a week, let alone pass as an FA. Our standards have changed and in my view its wrong to grandfather in articles which can't be brought up to the current standard. The FAR isn't gaining much traction and it looks as though the article will remain pretty much as it is.
If we're going to accept a collection of stats (and admittedly a pretty big collection) as combining to prove notability, it begs the question of how far we can stretch inclusion guidelines. I don't think this article meets them, and although we might not be a paper encyclopaedia there needs to be a reasonable limit to how far down a rabbit hole we can go. In this case, I think the limit is probably a step up from this, and we should have stopped with Australian cricket team in England in 1948 and Doug Ring. 5225C ( talkcontributions) 02:00, 31 October 2021 (UTC), amended 08:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. As the one who originally raised issues with the article here, I was concerned by issues with OR and inappropriate synthesis/editorializing. As it currently stands, the article heavily relies on game summaries and statistics. In my opinion, this signals a lack of notability; game summaries and statistics are common to most professional sporting events and therefore fail to indicate lasting significance. Moreover, when considering the additional sources used in this article, the topic's notability seems to be inferred from the fact that the team as a whole is notable, but notability is not inherited. To put it another way, I am concerned that allowing the article to remain as-is would send the message that articles about an athlete's performance in a single year, season, or comparable time span are inherently notable, which is not a precedent I think we should set. As a comparison, the 1972 Miami Dolphins were a historically successful team like Ring's 1948 team, but that should not imply that articles for Bob Griese with the Miami Dolphins in 1972, Earl Morrall with the Miami Dolphins in 1972, Larry Csonka with the Miami Dolphins in 1972, etc., are notable topics for inclusion on Wikipedia.

  • Selective merge to Doug Ring This is a contentious subject given that the article is a FA, however it's my view that as wikipedia has moved on there probably isn't a need for this kind of article given the subject's limited participation on the tour. Articles such as this for Don Bradman, Sid Barnes or many other on the tour are perfectly acceptable, but because Doug Ring played such a limited role on the tour in terms of test cricket a merge would be best here. In the FAR it was found that Wisden only had limited coverage on the subject and so GNG was likely to be an issue, but merging is a suitable WP:ATD. However as Blue Square Thing brought up in the FAR on the subject, a lot of the detail in this subject is already included at Doug Ring and if lots were to be merged then the Doug Ring article would become excessive and over detailed. Therefore a selective merge is required, likely to be done by someone from the Cricket WikiProject or with a close interest in the subject. Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 10:07, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Selective merge to Doug Ring.

With that said, I don't see any notability in this subject. A notable athlete on a notable team, but too much detail for an instance where there isn't significant coverage or a significant role by this player. The others may be salvageable, though.

  • Merge selectively. Ring's role in the tour is relatively minor. Coverage of his participation is trivial and mostly appears to be routine match reporting. While he was relatively successful in tour matches outside of the Test series, this is not covered in detail by reliable sources. He is mentioned in passing in Wisden and while he is championed by Bill O'Reilly as a potential Test player, though this appears to be more about O'Reilly criticising Bradman than about Ring.

  • Merge (selectively) into Ring's bio and the tour article where the content is not undue in those articles. Although both tour and player are notable, the cross-section is not. There is insufficient material to sustain an independent article without venturing into original synthesis based on statistics, and his role in the tour has not been covered extensively in reliable third-party sources.

Review of sources shows that they do not appear to be independent and secondary. Review of sources also found at least one case where the text appears to be almost the same as the machine translation of the Albanian source.

Non-notable Pokemon that fails WP:GNG, all sources are trivial mentions rather than WP:SIGCOV, and pulled from articles not actually about Bidoof itself. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 16:57, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply

I take the view that the debate over the coverage from the Kotaku sources is irrelevant. Even though Kotaku have published articles entirely about the character, they seem to be within the context of or related to the "Bidoof Day" promotional event run by Nintendo and the developers, as opposed to a proper observation or analysis about the character's prominence or otherwise . Even the Rickroll video was not made by an uninvolved third party (i.e. fan or critic), but Pokemon company employees. The aforementioned articles provide good info that can be adequately covered within the character's entry in the list article or any other related pages, but are unhelpful in demonstrating whether the topic is notable enough to warrant the presumption of a standalone page because of Wikipedia's strong policy stance against promotionalism. I am otherwise not in favor of the article itself being deleted or salted, though a permanent semi-protection to deter inexperienced editors from un-redirecting it again without good cause may be a reasonable course of action.

But you've got a severe blind spot for that concept, so I won't waste my time arguing further. I believe unbiased, experienced editors will see through this ruse, like they usually do.

  • Keep per the delete and salt opinions above. Note that I actually prefer redirection, but the vindictive opinions above force me to !vote in such a manner since enough admins seem to count noses rather than arguments. To be clear: there's enough RS coverage for this to be a standalone article, even if editorially redirecting to a list makes better sense. Jclemens ( talk) 18:13, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • What are you talking about? We held a community discussion at the Wikiproject level, got a consensus, and I even waited another week after that to wait to wait and see if there was any last interest in improving it. After a week of silence, I redirected. Someone unilaterally undid the redirect weeks later, so this AFD was created. Everything has been done entirely by the book here. Sergecross73 msg me 18:22, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
    Is a fictional rodent really the hill you want to die on? Even looking comparatively to other Pokemon, if various legendaries couldn't withstand the notability test would a totally inconsequential random Pokemon do so? I do support fictional things being articles if they are of actual critical importance, but the reception of Bidoof is totally predicated on memes. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 19:43, 31 October 2021 (UTC) reply
Just a general comment. The subject of a meme is treated like almost every topic on Wikipedia that is covered under WP:GNG. There are undisputably notable memes, and memes which lack that kind of prominence and is adequately covered as a section in another related article. If there are sources which provide WP:SIGCOV of the meme and makes a WP:CCOS for the topic, why would reception prose being "predicated on memes" be an issue? Haleth ( talk) 10:12, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply
To be clear, I have no problem with the redirection, but deleting the content and/or protecting the redirect is punitive, when WP:CCC and Pokemon is an active franchise. Wikipedia:Pokémon test was created in 2005, so if it were an American, it could drive now. Jclemens ( talk) 07:07, 3 November 2021 (UTC) reply
That's ridiculous. Salting is standard practice when people repeatedly recreate articles against consensus without improvement. If consensus changes, a simple discussion can remove the protection. Something that forces additional improvement and discussion in situations like this is nothing but a good thing. Your accusation of "vindictiveness" is not only baseless, but probably one of the worst examples of projection I've seen in recent memory, when you end your argument with "even if editorially redirecting to a list makes better sense". Sergecross73 msg me 01:42, 4 November 2021 (UTC) reply
Naah, I just AGF about the serial recreators better than most. Vindictiveness is a characterization, not an accusation, so please don't take offense: deletion, THEN recreating a redirect, THEN protecting that redirect is vindictive, in that deletion is unnecessary and a protected redirect will suffice. If that's you, (and per how I read this AfD, it is you and one other editor) don't fight the label, but rather reconsider whether you should refactor your input to be less vindictive. Individual Pokémon may gain notability, and when someone argues that a not-yet-notable topic with potential future notability should be deleted, rather than just redirected and the redirect protected, there's something going on besides just minimizing disruption: a value judgment that the editors in question should be prevented from ever working on that topic again without begging an admin or recreating it from scratch. So, feel free to refactor the suggestion for deletion before protection of a redirect if you don't want to be vindictive, or decline to refactor if you prefer to leave the statement as is. Jclemens ( talk) 07:23, 4 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect/Merge per Rorshacma. Honestly, the reception section is showing literally pulling every possible strand of weak , non-significant coverage (two or three sentence mentions from articles on broader topics) to try to make the character seem notable; this is equivalent to when we had editors using "listicles" to support notability. The only real significant coverage of Bidoof is related to its meme nature, and a merge/direct would allow that information to still be mentioned in the List of Pokemon (as well as over at Rickrolling since I know I added that video there way back). -- Masem ( t) 13:59, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep or Draftify - the coverage on the meme barely causes it to pass WP:GNG in my eyes. A rewrite is definitely in need, however. If the article gets redirected, I think some more time in draft space, where it was pulled from, could work if someone really wants this to stay. (Oinkers42) ( talk) 04:05, 3 November 2021 (UTC) reply
Speaking as someone who pay little attention to the Pokemon IP, the Mudkip one is better established as "culturally significant" when it comes to memes about individual Pokemon due to the coverage it generated, but it looked like the editors who participated in that AfD were not convinced that it helps the parent topic (Mudkip) pass GNG.

It was created for the reason that, despite Temujin obviously referring to Genghis Khan, because of the article on the 80s computer game of the same name, it otherwise becomes necessary to state on the Genghis Khan page that perhaps people actually meant the video game, not the historical conqueror.

A businessman ("entrepeneur" in marketing-speak) that does not meet the general notability guideline due to being bereft of coverage from independent sources. A plausible claim to significance (hence escaping the A7 speedy deletion criterion) due to his work for Forbes, and not sufficiently promotional for the G11 speedy deletion criterion (though "personal empowerment, spiritual fulfillment, overcoming adversity and building business with exit in mind" is meaningless to me).

Article about a television show, not properly referenced as passing WP:TVSHOW. Full disclosure, I was the original creator of this, well over a decade ago when we extended an automatic presumption of notability to any television show that verifiably existed at all regardless of its actual sourceability or lack thereof -- but the inclusion standards for TV shows have been considerably tightened up in the past 13 years to rely much more on the quality of the referencing, and I just can't find very much on a ProQuest search to salvage the article with: apart from two "new show debuts" articles in 2004, I otherwise just get glancing namechecks of the show's existence in tangential later coverage of its host making appearances at home design expos, so there just isn't enough coverage about this show to get it over the WP:GNG bar.

Non-notable digital marketer. The article relies on interviews, press releases and features on unreliable startup news blogs. There isn't any independent, in-depth coverage on this person in reliable sources. M4DU7 ( talk) 04:27, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. The individual may be very good at digital marketing, but what appears to be digital marketing sources disguised as news doesn't actually make the individual notable. My search for his name similarly comes up without him clearly being notable. I'd recommend that this be deleted, though if anyone can find additional Non-English sources that cover him that might be relevant here, please post them and ping me so I can re-evaluate my !vote. — Mikehawk10 ( talk) 04:47, 6 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM. Following on from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Better Late Than Never: In Memory of Paul C, I hoped the article creator would get the message regarding the total lack of notability of this artist's albums and allow them to be redirected, but no such luck... they persist in restoring them. So here we are again, with an album sourced to the album's liner notes and a couple of WP:PRIMARY promotional interviews from the artist on non-notable YouTube channels, and no better sources can be found. I say this should remain redirected to Mikey D#Discography, but it seems I need to get consensus for this. Richard3120 ( talk) 01:56, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply

I agree the artist's own article is extremely borderline notable, and I pointed this out to the article creator as well. The artist was a member of a hip hop group in the 1990s who were certainly notable and he featured on a notable album – I know this doesn't make him notable and automatically qualify for his own article per WP:INHERITED, just saying that he does have some background pedigree at least, which makes it possible that there is better information available about him. I was trying to go through these articles one at a time and getting rid of the clearly non-notable ones first. Richard3120 ( talk) 03:03, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply

Unreferenced list of entirely non-notable mayors of a small town. Whitchurch-Stouffville is not a large enough place that its mayors would get an automatic presumption of notability under WP:NPOL #2, so it's not a place where we would need to keep an unsourced list of its mayors if absolutely none of them have Wikipedia articles.

Even regional chairs don't get an automatic presumption of notability just for existing, because they still fall under WP:NPOL #2 as local politicians. So while it certainly might be possible to properly establish the notability of one or more people in this list by fully demonstrating that they have sufficient coverage to pass NPOL criteria, we can't and don't take it as a given in the absence of concrete proof.

Kept in 2008 (bundled AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stingy Brimm) on the grounds of his best selling titles on his faculty bio and possible pass of academic notability. However under current standards, I do not see that he's well cited enough to pass that, leaving the GNG. There are interviews, and a number of performance listings but nothing independent, or significant enough. The books may well be best sellers, but I'm unable to verify that independently of his own school Star Mississippi 18:18, 22 October 2021 (UTC) reply

There is no substantive coverage of this company in reliable sources. There are only off-hand mentions. The page should be redirected to Ghanim Bin Saad Al Saad, the person who runs the company (he too barely meets notability), If there's any content worth keeping, it should be merged with the Ghanim Bin Saad Al Saad but there doesn't seem to be any content worth keeping.

  • Delete or redirect: An article by a briefly-active user who appears to have been connected to the principal of this company [23] and acting under instruction [24]. Neither under the names "The Jersey Group" nor the present name is there evidence that the holding company has attained notability. The holding company is briefly covered on the Ghanim Bin Saad Al Saad page so a redirect to there could be an option. AllyD ( talk) 07:25, 30 October 2021 (UTC) reply

Autobiography, recently accepted at AfC after being declined 6 times. The article superficially looks factual and neutral, but the sources are anything but: [25]: "This talented mind has completed his graduation in 2016 ...", [26]: "This talented mind's film ‘Namaste’ was shortlisted ...", [27]: "This talented person has already started working more passionately on his dreams and will reach new heights in no time." [28]: "This talented mind has already created a path for himself in the industry and with such movies, he is making a great impression on his audience."
