I created the article a long long time ago. I had a WP:COI in that I worked for the company for a period of time in 2009-2010, though I was not asked or paid to create the article. It was deleted at AFD, then I recreated it with new references. Said references are largely dead links now. The company seems to be defunct since it was acquired - I am not in contact with anyone I knew at the company and I believe they all since moved on. I can't confirm it's defunct though, it may still exist in some form. It might have at one time been notable or borderline notable, but I think the guidelines for notability for companies have developed since then that this may not be notable enough for inclusion anymore.

Venerable Lovecraftian Zine with unfortunate lack of sources. Removed Prod as there's enough to the article that it probably deserves AfD discussion, on the other hand as it stands now it does not pass WP:N. Artw ( talk) 18:26, 9 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - Fails notability guidelines, I was unable to find any reliable sources to incorporate showing notability. Waxworker ( talk) 11:00, 10 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: I'm actually kind of surprised that we don't have an article on the Lovecraft fandom akin to those on the Twilight and Star Trek fandoms. There's enough stuff based on his work and so on to where it should be justified. If I get the time I should look into this, but then again I've got a lot of side projects languishing away in my userspace so if anyone else wants to take a whack at it, go for it. In any case, it could/should be included on the page for Lovecraftian horror. It looks like it published works by some fairly notable authors and while that in itself isn't really something that would automatically give notability, it does feel like it should be mentioned somewhere. The LH article would probably be best, as I do think there's justification in including a section or paragraph on zines. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:34, 12 July 2022 (UTC) reply
Does look like such a section would slot right in there. Would require at least some sources for verification at minimum. Artw ( talk) 23:18, 12 July 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Artw: I have added sources verifying some parts. The Locus Magazine checklist could be used to references (correct?) some more. Daranios ( talk) 11:07, 13 July 2022 (UTC) reply
@ ReaderofthePack @ Artw @ Daranios I've started Lovecraft fandom, it is probably notable but sourcing is surprisingly sparse. Frankly, the notability looks very borderline based on sourcing I've found so far, although it's one of those cases when I feel that WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES :P Feel free to help improve this, and stop by Talk:Lovecraft fandom for my notes on sources found that I either couldn't access or I am not sure whether they are reliable. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:05, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete There is not enough coverage for it to be notable. Lovewiki106 ( talk) 06:31, 13 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge As far as I can see we currently have three independent secondary sources supporting the material in the article. How would deletion of this material improve Wikipedia, as opposed to WP:PRESERVEing it in some way? On the other hand, what I have seen is probably too short for a stand-alone article. So a merge to a Lovecraft fandom page would be great in my view, a merge Lovecraftian horror or another suitable target as well. Daranios ( talk) 11:07, 13 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Merge. While there is not enough to meet GNG for stand-alone article, a redirect and a merger would be good. Since we don't have articles on Lovecraft studies or horror studies, Lovecraftian horror does appaer like the best target found so far. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:27, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to Lovecraftian horror sounds reasonable here. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:03, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge Lacks refs to demonstrate GNG, ref 1 and 5 are (probably) RS, but I don't have access, still, based on the article's cited content it's probably a short review for ref 5, and short stories for ref 1 (?) per WP page. Ref 2 is a trivial, but existing source. Ref 3 is probably an SPS, and ref 4 might not be an RS. Still, there's probably enough (trivial) RS for it to be merged to Lovecraftian horror. Piotrus started an article for Lovecraft fandom, so we can merge there. VickKiang ( talk) 22:57, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Merge to University of British Columbia#Student facilities. Was about to close this but the new sources don't check out. Ubyssey.ca is a student paper, insufficiently independent (or reliable) for our purposes. Vancouver Foodster is a personal blog. The Georgia Straight [1] ("free weekly") and the Daily Hive [2] ("hyperlocal content") are okay but do not together pose wider than local notability. It would be sufficient to add a few sentences of context in the existing, parent section for how this topic is minimally covered in sources. (The bulk of this current article is too detailed for our purposes, owing that it comes from primary and not secondary sources. This content should just be removed.) czar 18:27, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Merge I mostly agree with Czar on the source analysis, and think a selective merge would put this content in better context. I do note that WP:AUD (about local sources) is part of WP:NCORP, which does not apply here. So, I believe these sources contribute to notability. But having only two isn't enough for me. It's a young building, so I wouldn't be surprised if it does become notable in the future. Femke ( talk) 12:12, 23 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • It is going to take a while to sort through all the coverage for this player. (I started adding some articles but there are many others to go through.) You have to set your search engines for Solomon Islands, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Vanuatu. You also have to allow for spelling variations of his last name (Kilifa or Kalifa) and his first name (Moffat or Moffit). Also I'm finding Google Translate cannot handle translation from Bislama.

Fails WP:CRIMINAL. Nothing in the article indicates he was some outstanding drug dealer or that there was a miscarriage of justice / wrongful conviction. The surrounding media circus essentially boils down to the fact that some people and organizations disagree with capital punishment for drug offenses, but presently capital punishment for drug trafficking is applied in at least 33 countries, so hardly every single convict warrants an article in that regard.

  • Keep Executions in Singapore are controversial and now more notable as they are not frequent, especially as it was for drug trafficking and not murder. The subject is receiving widespread and international coverage across the globe, including in the United Kingdom and the United States: [4], [5] Inexpiable ( talk) 13:39, 9 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Looks more like WP:RECENTISM. In the absence of wrongful conviction it's unclear why out of dozens countries who execute for drug offenses Singapore is singled out. A popular call for criminal justice reform would be more useful instead. Brandmeister talk 16:15, 9 July 2022 (UTC) reply
      • Then should you say the same thing about Nagaenthran K. Dharmalingam when it was also being paid attention to days before his execution. Although it may be a different extent compared to Kalwant, but think about it, the whole world singled out Singapore specifically due to the international law standards which did not include drug trafficking as one of the worst offences (they should have included it actually), and Singapore did not follow it. It was precisely why they have such sensitivity to paid this particular attention to Singapore executing drug traffickers-- NelsonLee20042020 ( talk) 00:54, 10 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Anti-death penalty movement in Singapore has been going strong since Nagaenthran. These people are the embodiment of the movement, at least during this period of protests. - Jiaminglimjm ( talk) 19:39, 12 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Disagree. Do you have a source for this? A few dozen loud Malaysian or Singaporean activists making noise about Singapore executions does not equate to having a strong movement internally in Singapore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SecretSquirrel78 ( talk • contribs) 09:37, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
      • There was the involvement of the United Nations, Amnesty International and the European Union in the case, where they were critical of Singapore's use of the death penalty for drugs, which was not a common practice in most countries. Because of it, it cannot be said that the opposition is merely limited to the activists themselves, as they got support and backing from these major organizations (of course to me personally this kind of support should not be given for these criminals).

hi thanks for your note. To establish that a person like thus subject is notable enough to have a bio article on Wikipedia we have a policy at WP:NACADEMIC.

The Samoa Times article would be good, and would otherwise be enough to prove notability, but I have serious concerns about that newspapers' reliability. From what I can tell, it's not actually an established Samoan newspaper of any sort, but rather a weekly community newspaper from Auckland, and their website provides no indication that they have an editorial team. I could not find any better sources from a search. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 02:16, 22 July 2022 (UTC) reply

      • Sure. Firstly, I don't see how any of the online sources contributes to meeting the GNG. The two best newspaper pieces as I see them are the ones by Paddy Higgs and Lance Jenkinson. Both seem to be independent, reliable, secondary, and, in my opinion, give weak significant coverage. Others may pick different 'best' ones. I don't see that as a strong argument, though, and I do see deletion as an acceptable outcome. However, I think it should still be kept. — Danre98( talk^ contribs) 03:16, 23 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Current references are press releases written by the company, and a DOD and an FDA mention that essentially note the company's existence.

Subject fails WP:CRIM; only apparent reason for subject's media coverage is that he is married to Nicki Minaj, thus meets WP:INVALIDBIO. Gatoclass ( talk) 09:53, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Question. these days I'm rarely brave enough to look at AFD but when I do I'm usually perplexed. Why do you think a redirect would be unsuitable? Do you think the information about Petty in Nicki Minaj should be removed? Or extended so that the present article becomes otiose? Or is WP's search facility now so good as to make such redirects redundant? Or would the presence of a redirect make Google carry out some undesirable indexing? I wonder what is your line of thinking here? Thincat ( talk) 10:20, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
Firstly, it's a very long time since I nominated an article at AFD and so the process is unfamiliar. Sure, I'd be fine with it being made a redirect, but I assumed the creator, who has clearly put some work into the article, would not have accepted that, in which case it would end up at AFD anyway. With regard to the information on Minaj's page - of course it should not be removed, and I'd be fine with more about her husband's past being added to that article so long as it isn't excessive. WP:CRIM states that A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person, and the Minaj article would qualify here. One might alternatively argue that Petty is also known as Minaj's husband, and that therefore he qualifies under CRIM, but just being known as somebody else's spouse also meets INVALIDBIO. Basically, this guy would not have an article if he wasn't Minaj's husband, because neither his crimes nor his career are significant enough to qualify.

Oh. I now see from talk that the unstated AFD rationale may be to block the article's progress through DYK. Would that not be an abuse of process? (None of my remarks should be taken as support for the presence of the article). Thincat ( talk) 10:34, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
If I was in the habit of trying to block an article's progress at DYK through AFD I would be here on a regular basis, which clearly I am not. Besides, whether an article should exist and whether it should be featured at DYK are two separate issues, and I might object to this article being promoted at DYK regardless of the outcome here, given that it reads as little more than an attack page. The reason I started this AFD is quite simply that I could not see any justification for its existence, per CRIM and INVALIDBIO, that's all there is to it.

  • Comment: not !voting since I'm the creator but point 2 of WP:CRIM says that the subject is noteworthy if the event is "well-documented". Coverage (in publications with very rigorous editorial standards) has been going on this for years. And that he's married to Minaj is only relevant because she caused the coverage to explode, but that doesn't make the extensive coverage in reliable sources invalid. — VersaceSpace 🌃 15:34, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: None of the information here warrants its own article. Additionally, we aren't allowed to use mugshots of people as their lead images. The article in question seems very defamatory, with no mention of Minaj's legal statement against the accusations, nor the only reason that Hough dropped the lawsuit is because of "jurisdictional issues." rogueshanghai chat (they/them) 07:10, 18 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Pokai This person is not the "Vice President of a prominent political party", they are the Vice President of the youth wing of a political party. Even setting that aside, "Vice President of a prominent political party" is not part of the notability criteria for politicians, meaning he would need to be shown to meet the broader definition of a notable person.

Albanian-Greek border incident

Albanian-Greek border incident (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The whole article is based on two sources. One is a primary source from August 12, 1949 ( here), that actually refers to an Albanian radio report from August 10, which talked about an alleged invasion; however, in the same article we read that this was dismissed by Greece's Ministry for War as "fantastic" (fictitious), while Greek circles in London said that the allegation had no credence and that the only fighting that was taking place was near the Albanian border, as a result of the ongoing Greek Civil War between the Greek Government troops and the Greek Communists. But despite the misrepresentation of the primary source, we also have to take into account WP:AGE MATTERS and WP:RSBREAKING. The second source is an Albanian newspaper article by an individual named Përparim Halili ( here); i did a quick search and he appears to be a journalist. In short, the article lacks reliable secondary sources, such as publications with a focus on military history; per WP:RSCONTEXT. Even the image that is being used is misleading. User:Wilhelm ii0, who created the article and uploaded the image, claims that it shows the bombardment of an Albanian village on 14 August, 1949; however, this photograph shows the Greek army opening fire against Greek guerrilla troops on 22nd May, 1948 (more than a year prior of the alleged incident). The image was actually taken from Getty Images ( here), and constitutes a copyright violation; it has been nominated for speedy deletion. This supposed incident is obviously an outdated rumour that is based on the contemporaneous and easily verifiable Operation Pyrsos (needs some work as well), which marked the end of the Greek Civil War.

  • Keep this definitely happened as there are many sources which refer to the clashes. I started rewriting the article. It maybe difficult for non-Albanians to find sources in Albanian because the clashes are known as the Greek provocations of 1949. Truthseeker2006 ( talk) 17:03, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • The Albanian article that you linked above was created by an IP, and doesn't include a single reference to support the claims. Furthermore, the three additional sources you included in the article, corroborate the point made above by User:Pikavoom. It also shows that the discussed article is essentially a WP:POVFORK of Operation Pyrsos (also known as Operation Torch; not to be confused with the 1942 Operation Torch). Here are the relevant quotes, and my own comments on them:
Gibler (2019): In August 1949 Albania claimed that Greek forces were invading the southern part of the country in an attempt to gain territory. The United Nations dismissed the allegation, citing Greece's efforts to fight the Communist rebels in the face of Albania's over support for the insurgency.
Comment: The Albanian claims of a supposed invasion were dismissed by the United Nations, citing Greece's fight against the Greek Communist rebels, who enjoyed Albanian support. The official name of that operation is "Operation Pyrsos", not the "Albanian-Greek border incident" or the "August 1949 provocations".
Koçi (2018): The Balkan Wars (1912-1913), delineation of Albania's borders, the Corfu Protocol (1914), the Peace Conference in Paris (1920), the Italy-Greek War, the deportation of the Cham population (1944-1945), the Peace Conference in Paris (1946) and the earthly claims about the so called Northern Epirus, the involvement of the Albanian communist state in the Greek Civil War (1946-1949) and the August 1949 provocations organized by the Greek government over the territory of the Albanian state, are episodes of a long series of misunderstandings and hate between the two states and populations; ...
Comment: The only thing that the Albanian historian Koçi is saying here, is that there were allegedly some Greek provocations in August 1949; these though, happen to coincide with the aforementioned "Operation Pyrsos". It appears that in Albanian historiography, that Greek military operation is known as the "August 1949 provocations". I cannot find a single non-Albanian author who used this term.
Paravantes (2020): Shortly thereafter, following a discussion with Deputy Prime Minister Tsaldaris, the British chargé d'affaires informed the State Department that both the British and French governments believed that the Greek army was planning an attack on Albania. Contradicting statements by UK Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin in July, the British advised that the US should move quickly to prevent Greece from attacking Albania and noted that they had informed the Greeks that should a conflict with Albania be initiated, no military or diplomatic support could be guaranteed to them. In mid-August 1949, Tsaldaris again met with Bevin in Strasbourg to discuss international alternatives to Greek military intervention in Albania that would address the Albanians' continued assistance to Greek communist forces. Bevin said that if the communist forces continued to retreat into Albania and to launch attacks from that country, regardless of whether the Albanian forces were actually taking part, the incident would cease to be a Greek issue and would move in the international sphere of aggression by one state against another. He suggested that the matter be taken up in the United Nations, with Britain and the United States leading the action against Albania.
Comment: As User:Pikavoom wrote above, it seems that plans or talks of a possible invasion did indeed exist, but this never actually happened due to objections by the UK and US. Could some of the clashes between the Greek Government troops and the Greek rebels have taken place near or on the Greek-Albanian border? Sure they could have, but this was due to the constant retreat of the Greek rebel forces behind the Albanian border. Again, this is officially known as "Operation Pyrsos", and its aim was to eliminate the remaining strongholds of the Greek rebels in Gramos and Vitsi; at the Greek-Albanian border.

  • Delete Merge per Spiderone and Demetrios1993. The article already exists under the more precise title "Operation Pyrsos". Having two articles about the same subject, isn't helpful. The "Albanian-Greek border incident" is a generic and ambiguous title which not only lacks precision such as a date or another type of qualifier like how it was done elsewhere, i.e. 2020 Greek–Turkish border crisis, but also this is not how the sources do call it. Edit: I checked thoroughly the Wikipedia Project and my findings confirm my expectations: The historic operations/incidents across Wikipedia got their articles named accordingly with the sources and for clarity. An article with an ambiguous title like this one, is not in line with Wikipedia's standard practices and only serves as a WP:POVFORK to the other article. Edit 2: Changing my vote from Delete to Merge, as I have noticed that the article has been expanded further in meantime, citing unreliable sources in some instances; if the article is to be Merged instead of deleted, then the unreliable or non-secondary sources, will have to be removed or replaced with ones that meet Wikipedia's criteria for WP:RS. The last thing we need here in dealing with POVFORK articles such as this one, is to deteriorate the original article's quality by adding dubious sources or primary sources reflecting the Communist propaganda which has no place in Wikipedia. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ ( talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 10:15, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to Operation Pyrsos. Demetrios1993 has analysed the historiography. Some of this might usefully be added to the article. A redirect from Greek provocations of 1949 might also be merited, if that is what Albanian historiography calls it. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:49, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep there are many sources in Albanian about the clashes, a delete or a merge are not warranted. I used a long article from Gazeta Shqip which reproduces the official reports of Albania in August of 1949, but more can be written based on the same source and other populations. Durraz0 ( talk) 18:28, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Having many sources in Albanian, doesn't really rebut the fact that what Albanian historiography calls the "August 1949 provocations", is a reference to what the rest of the world knows as "Operation Pyrsos"; thus, the nominated article is essentially a WP:POVFORK of the latter. That is the reason you cannot find anything about the "August 1949 provocations" in publications by non-Albanian authors; it's because it is known by another name. It's also no coincidence that both the "August 1949 provocations" and "Operation Pyrsos" began on August 2, and that both lasted until the end of the month. Furthermore, the newspaper article by Gazeta Shqip isn't an ideal source, as it is a newspaper article (a publication with a focus on military history would be more preferable per WP:RSCONTEXT) written by an obscure individual named Darsnor Kaloçi (is he a historian?) who reproduced primary sources, such as articles by Bashkimi and Zëri i Popullit, which at the time served as propaganda organs for the Party of Labour of Albania. But regardless of that, he essentially confirms that the reason Greece attacked in August 1949, was in order to eliminate the remaining strongholds of the Greek partisans in northern Greece; but since they also had bases inside Albanian territory, some of the fighting spilled beyond the borders as well. He also confirmed that in Albanian historiography and the propaganda of the communist regime before the 1990s, this Greek operation was known as "Provocations of August 1949".

  • Merge to Operation Pyrsos, as it is now apparent that this is a WP:POVFORK of it, and i believe that some of the existing content would be useful for it. However, i only support the inclusion of content that is based on reliable secondary sources, without giving undue weight to minor aspects; per WP:BALANCING. Per WP:SOURCEDEF, we also have to be very careful about the credentials of the authors we use, as well as WP:RSEDITORIAL. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 09:37, 18 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge The content should definitely stay, however a significant restructure is need. The way that the article is written, it reads as though the incident was one protracted event whereby Greece attempted to invade Albania from 2 August-5 September 1949. However this is incorrect, in reality this was multiple border clashes occurring as isolated incidences, rather than a combined campaign. The page may stay as is if the original contributors want to completely restructure it, however a merge to Operation Pyrsos would create less work and make sense, given that they overlap.

  • Keep. There are many sources which speak on the subject matter, treating it as a separate event from the larger Operation Pyrsos, which largely took place within the borders of Greece. Articles of this type are not at all uncommon in Wikipedia, with there being several articles on border incidents including Albanian-Yugoslav, Taliban-Iran/Pakistan, Israel-Syria, China-India etc. This should not be an exception. I will expand the article more, and would appreciate if it is not prematurely deleted without consensus. Alltan ( talk) 09:24, 19 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • But why is it that only Albanian sources are talking about the August 1949 provocations? If it was indeed a different event, you would expect to find non-Albanian authors as well, talking about the August 1949 provocations. Also, why is it that no Albanian author is using the term "Operation Pyrsos" to denote a separate contemporaneous event against the Greek communists, if it is indeed viewed as a separate event? Personally, i haven't found an Albanian source that talks about "Operation Pyrsos". Furthermore, concerning the expansion of the Albanian-Greek border incident, i have to repeat again the need to use reliable secondary sources by credible authors. The current version rests too much on Albanian primary sources and newspaper/magazine articles by obscure authors. I am specifically referring to the following three references; source 1, source 2, source 3. What are the credentials of Përparim Halili, Jorgo Qirici, and Dashnor Kaloçi? In the case of a "merge", most of this content would have to be removed; i was actually thinking of a separate section that would deal specifically with the August 1949 events from the point of view of Albania, but only if it could be supported by scholarly material. The only reason that would justify a separate article in my opinion, would be if it was large enough, to the point that a "merge" would cause undue weight concerns ( WP:SPINOFF); but again, its content would have to be based on reliable secondary sources. Even though the size of the nominated article is currently large enough when compared to the current state of Operation Pyrsos (it can be expanded more), it is unfortunately mostly based on the three aforementioned questionable sources. So, my advice would be to try and find reliable scholarly sources, and if they are detailed enough, then i wouldn't have a problem with a "keep". Believe me, the last thing i want is to have to deal with undue weight and content disputes after a "merge". Demetrios1993 ( talk) 13:29, 19 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • First of all I don't get the whole replying to nearly every "Keep" vote that gets on here. I understand there are good intentions, but it just gets TL;DR after a while. Now besides that, I will make it clear that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a source being Albanian. They can absolutely be used just as much as any other RS. The authors being Albanian does in fact not make it fail RS, nor does it make them questionable (but yes there are non-Albanian sources that talk about the matter). Further on, the source I added is by Jorgo Qirici, an Albanian army lieutenant (might be an ethnic Greek according to some FB posts of him) who writes for the official Military Magazine of the Albanian army. Another thing, the whole focus on Operation Pyrsos being the wider operation under which this happened might not be correct, as the quote I added by Papagos specifically separates the Grammos and Vitsi operation from the Albanian one. But even if that is not the case, just like this article may be a further expanded version of Pyrsos, so is operation Pyrsos just a part of the wider Greek civil war. But we obviously separate the latter, since there is need for a more specialized article to delve into the specific theatres of war which took place concurrently to each other. We also do this since there are multiple sources on the topic. As far as I can see the operation Pyrsos article is much smaller and delves into the theme far, far less than the current article. And I can tell you, there are many, many more sources on this subject. Just need time to add them all. Alltan ( talk) 19:02, 19 July 2022 (UTC) reply

      • AfDs are meant for constructive on-topic discussions, and commenting under "votes" or recommended courses of action is a typical practice of this procedure per WP:DISCUSSAFD. There is nothing irregular about it. Second, i never said or implied that just because a source is by an Albanian author, this affects its reliability. My reference to Albanian and non-Albanian sources, has to do with trying to understand if the "August 1949 provocations", as an event, is to be found only in Albanian historiography, or others as well. Now you claim that there are non-Albanian sources that talk about the event. Which are those? Concerning Papagos' quote, even if true (i haven't managed to verify it), it is already established above that plans or talks of a possible invasion did indeed exist, but this never actually happened due to objections by the UK and US. Even the UN dismissed these claims. What seems to have happened are isolated incidents as a result of the broader offensive against the Greek communists, who were actually present on both sides of the border; this is even indicated by the term "August 1949 provocations" that is used to describe them in Albanian historiography, as opposed to "August 1949 invasion". As for the use of separate articles to describe certain aspects of a single event in more detail, i already told you that i am perfectly fine with spinoff subarticles, but only if such details are supported by reliable scholarly material, and we are not dealing with a WP:POVFORK. The assessment of primary sources (affiliated with the Communist Party of Albania) by individuals such as Jorgo Qirici and Dashnor Kaloçi should be viewed with extreme caution. Being an Albanian army lieutenant or investigative journalist doesn't automatically make you into a specialist or recognized expert on the topic; non-authoritative statements cannot be presented as facts per WP:RS. If there are many sources on the subject, it shouldn't be that difficult to find detailed scholarly sources. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 08:56, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
        • The articles' title is "Albanian-Greek border incident" not "August 1949 provocations". The events happened and there are sources which speak about it. Them being part of Albanian historiography does not somehow make them unreliable. I will add historiographical sources to the article as well, and will say I am feeling rather rushed with it, since you immediately went to AfD it instead of say opening a talk page discussion. The article is not a POV fork. Pyrsos as an article describes Greek monarchists fighting Greek communists. This Article describes Greek monarchists fighting Albanian border guards. A POV-fork would be writing an article describing Operation Pyrsos from a Greek communist POV, something which this is absolutely not. Your original arguments about there only being 2 sources have been adressed, the copyrighted image was removed and the article is currently in the process of being improved. The more I read up on it, it seems that these events spanned an area from Devoll down to Finiq, almost the entire Greek-Albanian border. I have added a source which says ::In fact , that had already happened in August 1949 , when Greek military forces entered Albanian territory in was subsequently seen in Tirana as an effort to establish the Greek chauvinist claims on Korça and Gjirokastra. 13 Days later the UN's special committee published a supplementary report , which would de facto justify the Greek intervention, concluding that Greece should not be expected to tolerate the Albanian support for regime change in Greece". Its an English source, published by Hurst. Alltan ( talk) 14:34, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
          • The title that was chosen by Wilhelm ii0, who created the article, is "Albanian-Greek border incident", but that's not how it is known in Albanian historiography. Again, i never said anything about Albanian historiography being unreliable. I said that primary and non-scholarly sources should be treated with extreme caution. As for whether this is a WP:POVFORK of Operation Pyrsos, describing events from the point of view of communist Albania. The incidents that are described are contemporaneous to Operation Pyrsos, and in the same location; the broader area of Grammos. Also, most of the content is ultimately based on primary sources that were affiliated with the Communist Party of Albania. For example, articles by Bashkimi and Zëri i Popullit, which at the time served as propaganda organs for the Communist Party of Albania, or documents by its defense ministry that are used by Jorgo Qirici. Furthermore, Operation Pyrsos wasn't just limited within Greek borders, and it didn't just involve Greek governmental and communist forces; communist Albania actively supported the latter, and the fighting had spilled within Albanian territory as well. Dashnor Kaloçi wrote the following:
Po kështu edhe mali i Gramozit dhe zona të tjera në brendësi të kufirit shtetëror në zonën e Korçës dhe Kolonjës, ishin kthyer në baza të ushtrisë partizane greke të gjeneralit Marko Vafjadhis dhe aty ishin ngritur edhe disa spitale ushtarake ku kuroheshin dhe mjekoheshin partizanët grekë. Si rezultat i gjithë këtyre, të cilat Athina zyrtare e asaj kohe i konsideronte ndërhyrje zyrtare në punët e brendshme të saj, në gushtin e vitit 1949, ajo i sulmoi forcat partizane greke deri në pozicionet e tyre të fundit, në malin e Gramozit, duke i ndjekur ata edhe brenda territorit shqiptar, ku partizanët grekë u tërhoqën për t'u shpëtuar sulmeve shkatërrimtare të forcave qeveritare greke.
While military historian Jonathan House, wrote the following:
Their hopes to hold out until winter were dashed when the government launched Operation Pyrsos (Torch) in August 1949. ... On the 25th, the GNA [Greek National Army] moved rapidly to seal off Grammos from neighboring Albania. The next day, the Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha followed Tito's lead, halting artillery fire from inside his country and announcing that anyone crossing the border would be interned. Although he did not attempt to disarm the DAG [Democratic Army of Greece] troops, he did threaten to cut off food supplies if they returned to Greece. By the end of the month, all resistance had ceased in the Grammos Mountains, leaving the GNA in possession of 40 field guns, 600 machine guns, and 200 mortars, as well as 1,000 dead DAG fanatics. The Greek Civil War virtually ended with Operation Pyrsos.
Even the quote (it wasn't copied accurately, and 13 is a reference number) you shared above by Albanian author Paulin Kola (2003), corroborates all these. On the other hand, Jorgo Qirici (an Albanian army lieutenant) that you used to expand the article, doesn't even acknowledge such support and treats it as fiction. As for the discussed events spanning an area from Devoll down to Finiq; not really. You are obviously referring to a single incident with a plane that Jorgo Qirici wrote about. However, that plane was taking off from Corfu, and was simply being used for reconnaissance up to the area of Grammos; it was passing through Finiq, because its base was in Corfu. In any case, i understand that at this point a "merge" would only cause undue weight issues; however, this doesn't negate some of the aforementioned issues. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 08:35, 21 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • The events being contemporaneous and related doesn't mean one must be a fork of the other. And yes, the Albanians had supported the Greek communist rebels, something which was often used as a pretext for the attacks which happened within Albania. Jorgo Qirici's article was published in Revista Ushtarake in 2016, the official military magazine of Albania. Any particular view of his should be compared and juxtaposed with other sources. On the plane incident, it was intercepted and downed after simply violating Albanian airspace in the midst of heated skirmishes and an ongoing escalation on the border. It's incidents like this which have caused Albanian sources to refer to the events as provocations. Alltan ( talk) 13:01, 21 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • I already explained why this is a WP:POVFORK. Furthermore, a legitimate WP:SPINOFF would at the very least treat these incidents as part of the broader Operation Pyrsos, which is even corroborated by Dashnor Kaloçi. As for Jorgo Qirici's article being published in Revista Ushtarake in 2016, you are mistaken. Your citation is actually a supposed reproduction of an article by Jorgo Qirici in Revista Ushtarake, published by www.radiokosovaelire.com on 4 February 2016; this date doesn't pertain to the publication of the actual article. And even if such an article was published by Revista Ushtarake, it doesn't make it reliable. Reliability can be affected by the type of the work, the publisher, and the creator of the work, whom in this case is an Albanian army lieutenant without any academic credentials, citing primary sources from the defence ministry of communist Albania. Last, the heated skirmishes happened in the broader area of Grammos, and were directly linked to the offensive of Operation Pyrsos; so was the incident with the plane apparently, which despite its violation, was used for reconnaissance up to the area of Grammos. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 05:32, 22 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Per the excellent argumentation of Alltan. The original AfD request was based on the fact that the article had only two sources, one being a primary source. The article has since been expanded with new credible sources. The content is now clearly worthy of having its own article. Furthermore, I wanted to emphasize the fact that the credibility of a source should not be based on the ethnicity of its author. Also, the copyrighted picture was removed so this has nothing to do with the deletion or merge of the article. Ahmet Q. ( talk) 20:02, 19 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I see no reason why this article cannot stand alone; as explained by Alltan, specialised articles are required for different theatres of war, and indeed, there is an abundancy of sources that can be used to further expand this article. To me, it would seem that a merge into Operation Pyrsos would downplay the content of the current article - it will minimalise the importance of the content in this article and the reality of the events. What I am trying to say, is that it will mask the defeat of the Greeks by Albanian forces, which is something I believe may have motivated the push to initially delete (and upon realising that it's not right, merge) this article - the historical reality portrayed by this article is simply disliked. Now, that aside, there's plenty of sources that can be used, such as [ [8]] (pg. 258) among many others. Like Alltan stated, time is needed to find them all. Rome wasn't built in a day, and a hasty move to try and delete it then later merge it serves no real benefit at all whatsoever. Botushali ( talk) 04:50, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • As explained to Alltan, there is nothing wrong with spinoff subarticles to present certain aspects of an event in more detail, but as Pikavoom also said above, this appears more as a WP:POVFORK of Operation Pyrsos, describing events from the point of view of communist Albania. It's no coincidence that you cannot find anything about it in non-Albanian sources, nor any mention of Pyrsos in Albanian sources; it is the same event. The reason that no Greek communists are mentioned in the official Albanian narrative of the time, in relation to that event, probably has to do with the fact that their presence and activity on Albanian territory, as well as the support that they received from the Albanian state, was all part of a secret operation known as "Aksioni 10"; this is mentioned by Dashnor Kaloçi who was discussed above, and who also says that the narrative regarding the "provocations of August 1949" has affected the historical memory of several generations of Albanians, and has thus become part of Albanian historiography. As for the Albanian book you shared, it doesn't provide any details, just the following:
Në vitin 1949 Greqia ndërmori provokacione të vazhdueshme kundër Shqipërisë. Ndër to, provokacioni më i rëndë ishte ai i 2 gushtit 1949 në sektorin e kufirit Bozhigrad-Bilisht, ku njësi të ushtrisë monarkiste greke u futën në territorin shqiptar. Luftimet vazhduan disa ditë , deri në tërheqjen e plotë të forcave greke. Pala greke e justifikoi këtë veprim, gjoja, me mbështetjen që Shqipëria u jepte forcave komuniste greke që vepronin në territorin grek.
The events that began on August 2 and lasted for several days, are known as Pyrsos I; the first phase of the operation. According to non-Albanian historiography, the aim of the Greek governmental forces was to carry out sporadic deceptive attacks in the area of Grammos (divided between Greece and Albania), in order to divert the attention of the Greek communist forces and let them think that the main attack was to happen there. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 08:56, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep the original arguments of Demetrios for merge were correct, but it's also evident that in the last few days the article has been expanded to almost 20k. The topic fulfills WP:N criteria and publications about it seem to be increasing in recent years. The article about Operation Pyrsos is ~6k. A merge wouldn't work on a technical level but also in terms of content as there is enough material for a standalone article for the events on August 2-6 on the border. There is still difficulty in finding non-Albanian sources for events which cover the 1945-1990 period of Albania as there was little contact with the outside world and subjects like this one weren't part of historical research until a part of the archives of Socialist Albania was declassified. I think that the article in the next phase should include more sources which will reflect the "Greek version" of the events.-- Maleschreiber ( talk) 17:13, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

OK, this is actually getting ridiculous now. It seems certain editors here enjoy throwing around the term "extremist" for Albanian sources. 'Radiokosovailire' translates to 'Free/Independent Kosova Radio', how does that name denote extremism?

RadioKosovaelire is not the publisher, but a site which has republished an article by colonel Jorgo Qirici in Revista Ushtarake, the official scientific journal of the Albanian army. It obviously reflects the Albanian point of view about the events, which means that the article requires the Greek point of view as well. The fact that the article reflects a WP:POV doesn't make it less WP:RS because for military events the official narratives of the involved factions are necessary for writing relevant articles.-- Maleschreiber ( talk) 06:06, 23 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect - to Solar Saros 120. I don't think WP:TOOSOON applies here, because that applies to things that aren't notable yet, or that don't have enough information to be notable quite yet. This isn't that situation. It has sources and can easily be verified and does seem to be notable, it just happens to be far into the future. If something being far into the future disqualified it from inclusion then we couldn't have articles like Timeline of the far future (which is a featured list, so it's clearly a good article to have on Wikipedia). My issue is that there's no substance to the article, and everything listed can easily be included at Solar Saros 120 (in fact I think most of it already is). This article has to repeat what a solar eclipse is, other dates for other solar eclipses, and then explains what Solar Saros 120 in particular is just to pad it out the article, and even with that it's still just a sparse stub. When taking unique content into account, there's nothing there.

I second this. Future eclipses are calculated and their expected occurrence is not mere speculation. Eclipses have been accurately predicted prior to the invention of computers; we can now predict eclipses somewhat accurately for many thousands of years (well within the system's Lyapunov time, but that deals with planetary dynamics more generally), and NASA sees fit to publish calculations up to 3000 AD [9]. Of course, however, shorter-term predictions are more accurate, and inaccuracies on a timescale of 200 years would concern precise details of the path and timing, not whether the eclipse will occur. This article explains everything quite nicely. ComplexRational ( talk) 19:41, 12 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, per what I said at the other nominations. This is not WP:CRYSTAL — it's a mathematically determined certainty of physical reality based on thousands of years of astronomy (by which nearly all human civilizations have considered eclipses to be notable events of great significance and portent). The fact that it hasn't happened yet is immaterial; current models are able to accurately antedict observations from thousands of years ago. Per XOR'easter, there may be a case for putting this information into a list, but it doesn't really seem worth the effort. Yes, a list is easier to create, but since articles have already been created, there is zero effort saved by performing the additional work of a merge for uncontroversial articles. jp× g 20:52, 4 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Solar Saros 120. Other than the fact that this is the last solar eclipse of the cycle, there's nothing particularly extraordinary about this future solar eclipse, and no coverage independent of the broader topic. Qwaiiplayer ( talk) 13:32, 8 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Solar Saros 120 per above comments. There's no disputing the accuracy of the calculation, so WP:TOOSOON may not apply and WP:CRYSTAL certainly does not apply, but the question is whether significant coverage exists. Considering that this is a partial eclipse, and that most sources highlight either routine calculation or that it's the last eclipse of the Saros cycle, I'm not sure that such coverage exists to justify a standalone article.

These two pages are essentially WP:CONTENTFORKs of April 6 Youth Movement with plagiarism wedged in. Democratic Front is copied straight from Youth Movement with the first half of the section '#Anti-Protest law campaign' lifted straight from here (and I'm certain it's from this place because the first edit to the page even links it! It just says "Page text" randomly!) Copyvio! Democratic Front Alexandria (DFA) fares little better. It may have copied another source, but I'm not certain. Though I am certain that it was copied from Youth Movement back in the day, and Youth Movement expanded significantly.

The author of Democratic Front was blocked 3 days after the editor wrote the article (username policy); DFA's author has not. DFA's author suspiciously has written the article on Yasser Shamsaldin Mohamad, the "founder" of DFA. My guess is that these cases were to boost exposure. Nothing has been done to the articles since.

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Reviewed during new page patrol. I wasn't sure what to do with (ones like) this one and opened a discussion at NPP and there were mixed thoughts/ no clear answer there. Accordingly, I would like to request a thorough large-participation review as the results this might set a direction or provide guidance. This is about a 1996 election in an area with approx 107,000 residents. It consists about 99% election results data with the other 1% being a few intro sentences. There is nothing unusual about the election. Wp:not is not explicit on this but in a few places seems to preclude this type of article. There was doubtless some local coverage. Saying that "presumed local coverage" alone should green-light it would mean that there probably I'd guess about 100,000,000 stats-only local election articles that could be green lighted. I believe there is no applicable SNG, nor precedent documented in wp:outcomes. The editor appears to be in the process of creating separate article for each election / year for this borough. Thanks in advance for your thorough review of this. North8000 ( talk) 15:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC) reply

I was mistaken, there is an SNG which is Wikipedia:Notability (events). IMO it pretty clearly fails that, but being an SNG, that still leaves the overall wp:notability question open. North8000 ( talk) 15:20, 18 June 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I'm replying as a comment because I am treating this as a general review of this sort of article, rather than a typical AfD. I am convinced we should have articles only on notable local elections. To be notable, a local election would have been extraordinary: perhaps legal issues arose that led to a change in the procedure of elections; perhaps there was a huge scandal associated with one of the candidates that aroused sustained interest in the national press; perhaps the election was the straw that broke the camel's back, and toppled a government. A measure of non-notable is that all we have are tables of how many people voted for each candidate, as in the present case. If there is nothing interesting to say about an election, beyond bald statistics, then it does not belong in Wikipedia, which is not a database of statistics. Incidentally, I think this is a general trend in Wikipedia. For example, we have older articles on sportspeople recorded as competing in the Olympics, which we're now deleting as we know nothing more about them, and they didn't win a medal. The day will, I'm sure arrive where we stop focussing on the medal, and instead focus on the coverage: did anyone say anything interesting about this subject? In the case of local elections, we need more than the local newspapers' temporary interest over a few weeks. Elemimele ( talk) 16:03, 17 June 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I think it is possible for an election to be notable. Elections for executives, upper chambers in a bicameral legislature are notable. Election to a lower chambers in a bicameral legislators or for state/provincial legislatures may be grouped together. Other elections, including local elections, may be notable when there are secondary and retrospective sources that illustrate how the election as noteworthy (perhaps for some of the same reasons described by Elemimele) or is the first election for a president, prime minister, or similar political figure, where the election article is a spinoff. In any case, the article should consist of significant prose that describes the context and outcome(s) of the election. -- Enos733 ( talk) 17:52, 17 June 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Fails WP:EVENTCRIT. This notability guideline for events reflects consensus reached through discussions and reinforced by established practice, and informs decisions on whether an article about past, current, and breaking news events should be written, merged, deleted or further developed. Among the criteria:
"Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect."
"Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards (as described below)."
"Events having lesser coverage or more limited scope may or may not be notable; the descriptions below provide guidance to assess the event."
"Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance."
"In evaluating an event, editors should evaluate various aspects of the event and the coverage: the impact, depth, duration, geographical scope, diversity and reliability of the coverage, as well whether the coverage is routine. "
The election 1) does not have enduring historical significance, 2) does not have widespread impact, 3) has limited scope of coverage, 4) is routine.—  rsjaffe  🗣️ 19:11, 17 June 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete IMO, per the normal decision making process there are two different guidelines ( Wp:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (events) ) plus one policy ( WP:not ) taken into consideration. Since the routine description wiki-conversations is not couched in those terms, in the end I think such needs to be expressed as clear-cut SNG decision and a calibrated WP:GNG decision. I would agree some of the highest level / largest scale/ inherently highest impact elections per the criteria/examples set by @ Enos733: are inherently notable enough to be eligible for an SNG type "by-pass"/ addition to the SNG. Most of the other ~100 million elections are not one of those. There is an SNG which covers this ( Wikipedia:Notability (events) )and IMO this article and similar ones clearly fail it. This still leaves open the possibility of passing via WP:GNG. IMO, the clear failure under the SNG also provides some guidance of or reinforcement for a thorough interpretation of sourcing required for GNG. Specifically, requiring in-depth coverage of the titled topic which is not just routine short-term election coverage including that only of individual races within it. This article (and others like it) do not have that. Further, the generation of a near "stats-only" article with no such sourcing and no "non-stats" material (not counting a perfunctory Wiki-editor-generated into sentence and Wiki-editor-generated unsourced summary) is a further indicator that such is unlikely to exist. Finally, further reinforcement comes from at least two places in WP:Not including, by being a near "stats only" article, falling far short of "mostly prose".

  • Comment: I am rather concerned that this AfD has apparently taken place without any involvement by participants in either Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom or Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referendums, both of which regard the very similar 1998 Burnley Borough Council election article as being within their scope. The latter article is certainly currently somewhat more informative and better cited than this one - but the topics of two articles are very similar (Burnley is only a few miles from Chorley, and the councils themselves are generally comparable), and it is almost certain that the better sourcing of the Burnley article is due to more competent searches for (and use of) reliable sources rather than any inherent differences in the quality of those sources. (Indeed, while I don't have the expertise to get at such sources myself in any reasonable time, I would reckon that all the cited sources for the 1998 Burnley election would have almost precisely equivalent ones, from the same publications, for the 1996 Chorley one.) I would therefore strongly urge that the two projects are informed of this AfD, and that the AfD should be held open for a few more days for them to be given the chance to make their own assessments of this article and respond. PWilkinson ( talk) 15:05, 24 June 2022 (UTC) reply
    The concern is not about reliable sources. The concern is the election 1) does not have enduring historical significance, 2) does not have widespread impact, 3) has limited scope of coverage, 4) is routine. Sources need to be found that contradicts at least one of those points for the election to be notable. —  rsjaffe  🗣️ 16:09, 24 June 2022 (UTC) reply
    I'd echo what rsjaffe said. I'd also add that the types of attributes described typically would end up with substantial prose-type coverage of those type of things. And so an article lacking that or being a 98% "stats only" article can tend to be an indicator of that. When I opened this I requested a thorough review / discussion. I'd like it help open long enough for that to occur. So please keep this open until at least July 1. But I'd like sincere discussion on the general issues mentioned, not just hitting an area likely to come up with "keep" votes and I'm concerned that people focused on the particular geographical area involved might be that. I was hoping for a discussion of this type of thing in general which might help provide general guidance. Putting a note at a notability page might also be good....I think I'll do that.

  • Comment: This doesn't look like a good way to structure this information to me, and I think it should probably be reduced to a summary paragraph in the parent article (which would require reorganizing that article somewhat). The level of detail here is useless to the reader without further context. There is also the sourcing issue, but even if the current primary source for the election stats were replaced or supplemented by an independent secondary source, it wouldn't really change things. If there were, hypothetically, good local sources giving context and analysis (or ideally historical analysis) of the election, such as could support an article, then the fact that those sources are local should not matter. Beyond that, I don't think AFD is a good place to have this discussion, because (a) it is highly unlikely to attract a representative cross-section of knowledgeable editors, and (b) AFD is by nature a zero-sum discussion (see !votes above), but this seems like an issue that could be brought to a positive-sum solution through ordinary processes of editing and consensus. -- Visviva ( talk) 18:32, 24 June 2022 (UTC) reply

  • My own experience of this type of just stats UK local council election article was that I moved some to draft space for improvement and requested deletion of the redirects (before I got page mover rights). The over enthusiastic admin deleted the articles themselves as G13 even though they'd just gone to draft - he was later de-admined for other issues and retired. Later the creator of the articles requested their un-deletion and moved them back to mainspace. I'd had enough of them by then, regards Atlantic306 ( talk) 23:53, 24 June 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Wikipedia has become one of the few remaining sources for detailed local election results, some from the very beginning of Wikia itself. They are honest, true, accurate, and encyclopaedic.

Thanks for the post. My main goal here is to try to "sort this out", and so my following post is towards that end rather than for a particular outcome. Well, Wikipedia is only supposed to contain information that is published elsewhere. Perhaps you meant "on line" or "easily searchable on line". But that argument would seem to be an argument for a complete transformation of Wikipedia. A quick ballpark guess is that there have been about 100,000,000 governmental elections. Right now having GNG type coverage is the additional criteria to screen them. With a "stats only" article condition being perhaps a flag for that. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 14:30, 27 June 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep the outcome should be the same as for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2022 St Albans City and District Council election, which was open at the same time. Any apparent difference in consensus is likely to be because that one was listed under England deletions whereas this was not, the tendency for later votes to follow the earlier ones as editors like to keep their AFD stats looking good, and the nonsense about 100,000,000 articles. Even assuming we had the results of similar numbers of elections around the world, that many would mean either going back a few millennia, or separate articles for each parish council election (unnecessary even if they were notable, as they are usually only 1, 2 or 3 wards) or equivalent. Chorley borough elections only go back to the 1970s for the current district (and the 1880s for the former municipal borough, which was smaller). I think that non-metropolitan district/borough elections are an appropriate level of coverage, and that is what consensus has always been. 82.132.186.25 ( talk) 00:06, 2 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment The St Albans AfD was closed after only two comments, so it's not an exhaustive opinion of WP editors. It shouldn't set a precedent that can never be overturned. I am worried by this. There are over 200 elections of this size every year in the UK alone, and because WP is a global encyclopaedia, we have to consider how many similar elections take place across other countries that expect coverage here: the US (obviously), Canada, India etc. etc.; we will be adding thousands of articles a year, most of which contain nothing but statistics that could easily be found elsewhere. Yes, there will be press coverage - there always is for an election - but there is no lasting interest, and if all we report is the results, then we are merely mirroring primary data as laundered through a secondary source, rather than truly secondary-sourced material. There is no doubt the information ought to be available to the public, but it's not encyclopaedia stuff. Elemimele ( talk) 08:25, 3 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment In promoting this as an example article and requesting thorough debate, I think that there could be two useful outcomes. One is that referring to to this AFD might be useful taken in the context of it being for the particulars of this election and the particulars of what is and isn't in the article and its sources. The second is that if we can get a very thorough close which summarizes the discussion, I think that that would also be very useful. And so I'd like to request such a thorough close. What this would NOT be is using the a mere "keep" or "delete" result as a blanket indicator for all election articles. North8000 ( talk) 13:54, 3 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete fails the criteria for EVENTCRIT. It does not have widespread (national or international) impact. These types of local elections are WP:ROUTINE and not really newsworthy or important, except to a relatively small local population. Fails GNG by lacking a sufficient amount reliable sources. A statistical chart or official government publications and notices are not independent reliable sources. --- Steve Quinn ( talk) 18:47, 4 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I think that to really deal with these, we need to recognize that dealing with these intelligently needs to acknowledge assessing by multiple considerations combined, the unacknowledged way that Wikipedia actually operates. Another way to say it is about wp:notability, but also taking into account the degree of compliance with wp:not which is a measure of the degree of enclyclopedicness. A "stats only" article means that wp:not weighs in against this, but not to the extent of clearly precluding it based solely on wp:not. "Stats only" also influences a GNG evaluation. And also acknowledge that the scale and prominence itself also matters. Wikipedia:How Wikipedia notability works acknowledges this combination of considerations. So on the "prominence/scale" aspect, this comes in low-medium...an entity with ~107,000 people and not state or national level (thus no support from any SNG, and wp:events weighing in against it), "stats only" means that wp:not weighs in against if not so strong to specifically forbid it based solely on wp:not. WP:GNG weighs in against it, although if it weren't for those other considerations we might bend the GNG rules a bit. IMO, my "delete" probably considered this to be just below the "keep" threshold via combined consideration of all of these factors, which (if you need to oversimplify it) could also be called a wp:notability decision.

  • Merge to Chorley Borough Council elections. This is a comment on this article, which can also serve as a guideline for all such articles. Wikipedia is not the place that people are going to go to for a borough by borough recap of a council election. The net result - winner or loser - should go in the election history section of the main article. I looked at Chorley Borough Council elections and sadly it's just a list of links, but those should be replaced with the summary results from the annual elections. Source with a link to the more detailed tallies on the municipal sites. That will cut down the number of these these articles by a good factor. And it reflects a better understanding of how people use Wikipedia. And it's easier to keep up the info. We won't create the expectation for future readers that this info will be here for every election, since it more than likely won't be. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 18:43, 13 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete I agree that it fails WP:EVENTCRIT and GNG.

  • Procedural keep close as wrong venue. North8000 is trying to establish general guidelines for local elections with an AFD. AFDs should be about one specific article, not about policy principles. This discussion has become hopelessly entangled with the general principle. A Request for Comment would be more appropriate, or a proposal made at Village Pump. This could affect a very large number of articles; Chorley Borough Council elections shows that every election since 1994 has its own page, and they are all similar to this one. Other councils such as Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council elections are similar. It would be entirely wrong to delete them all piecemeal on the basis of one AfD.

Yes it would because it would set a precedent that can be referred to in later AfDs. You said as much in your nom with "the results this might set a direction or provide guidance".

@ Spinningspark: You view the potential impact of this AFD to be much larger than I do.

  • Delete: no long-term significance, no coverage beyond the local, probably no significant coverage in independent reliable sources at all. If it isn't possible to write an article on a subject that isn't just decontextualised data, we shouldn't have an article on that subject. Merging to Chorley Borough Council elections isn't a viable solution because that article has the same problems as all the articles on individual elections; summarising all the election results in the grandparent article Borough of Chorley might be the most sensible option, but deleting this needn't preclude that. –  Arms & Hearts ( talk) 19:38, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: To myself and to many people interested in elections, Wikipedia is an invaluable historical source of information that is no longer available from other sources such as the council websites. The loss of pages such as this would hinder research into historical trends in different authorities and for different parties.

The result was keep. This is a nuanced one, for much of the reasons HighKing and the nom noted and the rescope that happened during this discussion. It appears that the McBrides are intricately tied to their businesss, which frequently happens with family businesses. The deletion !votes appear to be about the sisters, and in fact one says the company might be, which turns the vote itself into a not clear delete following the re-scope. This could be a no consensus with the outcome being the same, but my read is that this is more of a keep based on discussion. Star Mississippi 02:36, 24 July 2022 (UTC) reply

This article has to sort out who and what it is. Is it a biography? (It's tagged as such) But if so, it is of two people. Is it a business? (It's tagged as such) If so, it's really not notable. The largest black owned female focused winery is really cheese paring here - and there's little notability on offer to pass WP:GNG let alone WP:NCORP. Is the coverage about a business or the sisters? Is the article about the business or the sisters? To which of these do we apply WP:GNG when paring the application of guidelines? The business confers no notability on the sisters.

  • Keep and move page to McBride Sisters Wine Company. Despite the rather confusing use of the term "cheese paring" above, this was an appropriate nomination given the state the article was in. As the nominator states, it was originally pushed to Mainspace, uncertain of whether it wanted to be a biography or an article about a business. It has now been rewritten as an article about the business, and will need to be moved to the company name if kept. I'm still in the process of editing and adding to the article, but at this point, I would suggest the following articles to establish notability: Fort Meyers News-Press and Fortune.com, with the Washington Post wine review as a possible third (per WP:NCORP, while product reviews need to be handled the care, the Washington Post wine columnist arguably has a long and established history of independence). (The two latter articles are also available via the Wikipedia Library.) Cielquiparle ( talk) 11:42, 4 July 2022 (UTC) reply

But this is also one of those topic where the *people* who are involved in the company, taken together with the company and its achievements, etc, does appear to make the entire package together notable. But in my opinion, the sisters themselves have several articles written about them (which perhaps also mention their company) and would meet the criteria of other notability guidelines - on that basis I'd !vote to Keep. HighKing ++ 19:57, 18 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Well, this DOES become interesting. The article has now been rewritten to focus on the BUSINESS and not the sisters. As such, it should now be reviewed as needing to pass WP:NCORP - although HighKing makes the point that the sisters are perhaps to be considered notable but the business not - do we now have a notable business in McBride Sisters Wine Company per Cielquiparle??? That does at least partly solve the identity conundrum I outlined in the nomination, but now we have Delete votes and Keep votes with a mix of reasons! Three Delete votes including my nomination say the company is not notable. One delete vote says the company may be notable but the sisters are not. Three Keep votes say the company is notable and the title of the article needs to change. Although my understanding is an AfD would not normally be relisted three times, this one has sort of changed course halfway through and may be eligible for another attempt to reach consensus based, this time, on WP:NCORP???

  • Added source and new section. In light of more recent comments, I added a new section on "Business history" and more importantly, a major source that was missing previously. It is this article in Wine Spectator, which is tempting to discount at first because it includes a Q&A interview with the sisters. However, the Q&A interview is preceded by four paragraphs about the history of the business, written by MaryAnn Worobiec who is a senior reviews editor for California and New Zealand wines. Unlike all the other articles, Wine Spectator includes the most precise explanation of how the "largest Black-owned wine company" claim can be verified (by volume, per Nielsen statistics on number of cases shipped to retail outlets). It is also very precise about how exactly the Sisters' business grew from a small importer to a partner of Diageo and then independent. I understand that "trade" publications are generally regarded with caution, but in this case, I think you could argue that Wine Spectator wouldn't easily be swayed by vendor marketing – and indeed, even the Washington Post wine critic flags Wine Spectator as an authoritative source. In total, together with the articles flagged previously, I think there is enough coverage to keep this article about the largest Black-owned wine company in the United States, which has a human interest founding story that has also gained significant coverage in the media (even when specifically excluding publications such as Essence which make it clear that McBride Sisters has advertised with them).

I created the article a long long time ago. I had a WP:COI in that I worked for the company for a period of time in 2009-2010, though I was not asked or paid to create the article. It was deleted at AFD, then I recreated it with new references. Said references are largely dead links now. The company seems to be defunct since it was acquired - I am not in contact with anyone I knew at the company and I believe they all since moved on. I can't confirm it's defunct though, it may still exist in some form. It might have at one time been notable or borderline notable, but I think the guidelines for notability for companies have developed since then that this may not be notable enough for inclusion anymore.

  • Comment: I'm actually kind of surprised that we don't have an article on the Lovecraft fandom akin to those on the Twilight and Star Trek fandoms. There's enough stuff based on his work and so on to where it should be justified. If I get the time I should look into this, but then again I've got a lot of side projects languishing away in my userspace so if anyone else wants to take a whack at it, go for it. In any case, it could/should be included on the page for Lovecraftian horror. It looks like it published works by some fairly notable authors and while that in itself isn't really something that would automatically give notability, it does feel like it should be mentioned somewhere. The LH article would probably be best, as I do think there's justification in including a section or paragraph on zines. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:34, 12 July 2022 (UTC) reply

@ ReaderofthePack @ Artw @ Daranios I've started Lovecraft fandom, it is probably notable but sourcing is surprisingly sparse. Frankly, the notability looks very borderline based on sourcing I've found so far, although it's one of those cases when I feel that WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES :P Feel free to help improve this, and stop by Talk:Lovecraft fandom for my notes on sources found that I either couldn't access or I am not sure whether they are reliable.

  • Merge As far as I can see we currently have three independent secondary sources supporting the material in the article. How would deletion of this material improve Wikipedia, as opposed to WP:PRESERVEing it in some way? On the other hand, what I have seen is probably too short for a stand-alone article. So a merge to a Lovecraft fandom page would be great in my view, a merge Lovecraftian horror or another suitable target as well. Daranios ( talk) 11:07, 13 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Merge. While there is not enough to meet GNG for stand-alone article, a redirect and a merger would be good.

  • Merge to Lovecraftian horror sounds reasonable here. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:03, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge Lacks refs to demonstrate GNG, ref 1 and 5 are (probably) RS, but I don't have access, still, based on the article's cited content it's probably a short review for ref 5, and short stories for ref 1 (?) per WP page. Ref 2 is a trivial, but existing source. Ref 3 is probably an SPS, and ref 4 might not be an RS. Still, there's probably enough (trivial) RS for it to be merged to Lovecraftian horror.

  • Merge to University of British Columbia#Student facilities. Was about to close this but the new sources don't check out. Ubyssey.ca is a student paper, insufficiently independent (or reliable) for our purposes. Vancouver Foodster is a personal blog. The Georgia Straight [1] ("free weekly") and the Daily Hive [2] ("hyperlocal content") are okay but do not together pose wider than local notability. It would be sufficient to add a few sentences of context in the existing, parent section for how this topic is minimally covered in sources. (The bulk of this current article is too detailed for our purposes, owing that it comes from primary and not secondary sources.

  • It is going to take a while to sort through all the coverage for this player. (I started adding some articles but there are many others to go through.) You have to set your search engines for Solomon Islands, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Vanuatu. You also have to allow for spelling variations of his last name (Kilifa or Kalifa) and his first name (Moffat or Moffit). Also I'm finding Google Translate cannot handle translation from Bislama. I think we need to focus on fixing his infobox as well. Cielquiparle ( talk) 10:28, 18 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:CRIMINAL. Nothing in the article indicates he was some outstanding drug dealer or that there was a miscarriage of justice / wrongful conviction. The surrounding media circus essentially boils down to the fact that some people and organizations disagree with capital punishment for drug offenses, but presently capital punishment for drug trafficking is applied in at least 33 countries, so hardly every single convict warrants an article in that regard.

  • Keep, I do not think his article should be deleted. His case was covered by the media over a certain range of years and he even gained international attention. It does not necessarily mean a case without lost-lasting effects should be deleted since from the POV of the international groups, his case was to show the alleged ineffectiveness of the death penalty against drugs.-- NelsonLee20042020 ( talk) 02:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC) reply

I do not have any agenda at all, but it was due to my interest in this topic and that's why I create articles of death row inmates, their cases are interesting. Mostly my editing stance is neutral and kind of leaning towards the support for capital punishment. -- NelsonLee20042020 ( talk) 05:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Executions in Singapore are controversial and now more notable as they are not frequent, especially as it was for drug trafficking and not murder. The subject is receiving widespread and international coverage across the globe, including in the United Kingdom and the United States: [4], [5] Inexpiable ( talk) 13:39, 9 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Looks more like WP:RECENTISM. In the absence of wrongful conviction it's unclear why out of dozens countries who execute for drug offenses Singapore is singled out. A popular call for criminal justice reform would be more useful instead. Brandmeister talk 16:15, 9 July 2022 (UTC) reply
      • Then should you say the same thing about Nagaenthran K. Dharmalingam when it was also being paid attention to days before his execution. Although it may be a different extent compared to Kalwant, but think about it, the whole world singled out Singapore specifically due to the international law standards which did not include drug trafficking as one of the worst offences (they should have included it actually), and Singapore did not follow it. It was precisely why they have such sensitivity to paid this particular attention to Singapore executing drug traffickers-- NelsonLee20042020 ( talk) 00:54, 10 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Anti-death penalty movement in Singapore has been going strong since Nagaenthran. These people are the embodiment of the movement, at least during this period of protests. - Jiaminglimjm ( talk) 19:39, 12 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Disagree. Do you have a source for this? A few dozen loud Malaysian or Singaporean activists making noise about Singapore executions does not equate to having a strong movement internally in Singapore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SecretSquirrel78 ( talk • contribs) 09:37, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
      • There was the involvement of the United Nations, Amnesty International and the European Union in the case, where they were critical of Singapore's use of the death penalty for drugs, which was not a common practice in most countries. Because of it, it cannot be said that the opposition is merely limited to the activists themselves, as they got support and backing from these major organizations (of course to me personally this kind of support should not be given for these criminals).

hi thanks for your note. To establish that a person like thus subject is notable enough to have a bio article on Wikipedia we have a policy at WP:NACADEMIC. So we’re looking for reliable independent sources that confirm the subject passes at least one of these criteria.

  • Delete, the Samoa Observor piece is syndicated directly from the OFC, so its independence is questionable but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. The Samoa Times article would be good, and would otherwise be enough to prove notability, but I have serious concerns about that newspapers' reliability. From what I can tell, it's not actually an established Samoan newspaper of any sort, but rather a weekly community newspaper from Auckland, and their website provides no indication that they have an editorial team. I could not find any better sources from a search. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 02:16, 22 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    The Samoa Times was the longest-serving Samoan-language newspaper in New Zealand, based in New Zealand's largest Polynesian city. It was absolutely real media (for a non-English-language community), but largely print-based. There's an analysis of it from the Pacific Media Center here, and more here.

Given the sourceless state of the original article, I can understand the desire to do something about it, but this has happened repeatedly from your recent nominations, and I think sticking an unreferenced, BLP sources, or refimprove tag on an article would be more appropriate than jumping straight to an AfD nomination. -- IdiotSavant ( talk) 10:50, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply

      • Sure. Firstly, I don't see how any of the online sources contributes to meeting the GNG. The two best newspaper pieces as I see them are the ones by Paddy Higgs and Lance Jenkinson. Both seem to be independent, reliable, secondary, and, in my opinion, give weak significant coverage. Others may pick different 'best' ones. I don't see that as a strong argument, though, and I do see deletion as an acceptable outcome. However, I think it should still be kept. — Danre98( talk^ contribs) 03:16, 23 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Current references are press releases written by the company, and a DOD and an FDA mention that essentially note the company's existence.

Subject fails WP:CRIM; only apparent reason for subject's media coverage is that he is married to Nicki Minaj, thus meets WP:INVALIDBIO. Gatoclass ( talk) 09:53, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Question. these days I'm rarely brave enough to look at AFD but when I do I'm usually perplexed. Why do you think a redirect would be unsuitable? Do you think the information about Petty in Nicki Minaj should be removed? Or extended so that the present article becomes otiose? Or is WP's search facility now so good as to make such redirects redundant? Or would the presence of a redirect make Google carry out some undesirable indexing? I wonder what is your line of thinking here? Thincat ( talk) 10:20, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
Firstly, it's a very long time since I nominated an article at AFD and so the process is unfamiliar. Sure, I'd be fine with it being made a redirect, but I assumed the creator, who has clearly put some work into the article, would not have accepted that, in which case it would end up at AFD anyway. With regard to the information on Minaj's page - of course it should not be removed, and I'd be fine with more about her husband's past being added to that article so long as it isn't excessive. WP:CRIM states that A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person, and the Minaj article would qualify here. One might alternatively argue that Petty is also known as Minaj's husband, and that therefore he qualifies under CRIM, but just being known as somebody else's spouse also meets INVALIDBIO. Basically, this guy would not have an article if he wasn't Minaj's husband, because neither his crimes nor his career are significant enough to qualify.

Oh. I now see from talk that the unstated AFD rationale may be to block the article's progress through DYK. Would that not be an abuse of process? (None of my remarks should be taken as support for the presence of the article). Thincat ( talk) 10:34, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
If I was in the habit of trying to block an article's progress at DYK through AFD I would be here on a regular basis, which clearly I am not. Besides, whether an article should exist and whether it should be featured at DYK are two separate issues, and I might object to this article being promoted at DYK regardless of the outcome here, given that it reads as little more than an attack page. The reason I started this AFD is quite simply that I could not see any justification for its existence, per CRIM and INVALIDBIO, that's all there is to it.

  • Comment: not !voting since I'm the creator but point 2 of WP:CRIM says that the subject is noteworthy if the event is "well-documented". Coverage (in publications with very rigorous editorial standards) has been going on this for years. And that he's married to Minaj is only relevant because she caused the coverage to explode, but that doesn't make the extensive coverage in reliable sources invalid. — VersaceSpace 🌃 15:34, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: None of the information here warrants its own article. Additionally, we aren't allowed to use mugshots of people as their lead images. The article in question seems very defamatory, with no mention of Minaj's legal statement against the accusations, nor the only reason that Hough dropped the lawsuit is because of "jurisdictional issues." rogueshanghai chat (they/them) 07:10, 18 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Pokai This person is not the "Vice President of a prominent political party", they are the Vice President of the youth wing of a political party. Even setting that aside, "Vice President of a prominent political party" is not part of the notability criteria for politicians, meaning he would need to be shown to meet the broader definition of a notable person.

Albanian-Greek border incident

Albanian-Greek border incident (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The whole article is based on two sources. One is a primary source from August 12, 1949 ( here), that actually refers to an Albanian radio report from August 10, which talked about an alleged invasion; however, in the same article we read that this was dismissed by Greece's Ministry for War as "fantastic" (fictitious), while Greek circles in London said that the allegation had no credence and that the only fighting that was taking place was near the Albanian border, as a result of the ongoing Greek Civil War between the Greek Government troops and the Greek Communists. But despite the misrepresentation of the primary source, we also have to take into account WP:AGE MATTERS and WP:RSBREAKING. The second source is an Albanian newspaper article by an individual named Përparim Halili ( here); i did a quick search and he appears to be a journalist. In short, the article lacks reliable secondary sources, such as publications with a focus on military history; per WP:RSCONTEXT. Even the image that is being used is misleading. User:Wilhelm ii0, who created the article and uploaded the image, claims that it shows the bombardment of an Albanian village on 14 August, 1949; however, this photograph shows the Greek army opening fire against Greek guerrilla troops on 22nd May, 1948 (more than a year prior of the alleged incident). The image was actually taken from Getty Images ( here), and constitutes a copyright violation; it has been nominated for speedy deletion. This supposed incident is obviously an outdated rumour that is based on the contemporaneous and easily verifiable Operation Pyrsos (needs some work as well), which marked the end of the Greek Civil War.

  • Keep this definitely happened as there are many sources which refer to the clashes. I started rewriting the article. It maybe difficult for non-Albanians to find sources in Albanian because the clashes are known as the Greek provocations of 1949. Truthseeker2006 ( talk) 17:03, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • The Albanian article that you linked above was created by an IP, and doesn't include a single reference to support the claims. Furthermore, the three additional sources you included in the article, corroborate the point made above by User:Pikavoom. It also shows that the discussed article is essentially a WP:POVFORK of Operation Pyrsos (also known as Operation Torch; not to be confused with the 1942 Operation Torch). Here are the relevant quotes, and my own comments on them:
Gibler (2019): In August 1949 Albania claimed that Greek forces were invading the southern part of the country in an attempt to gain territory. The United Nations dismissed the allegation, citing Greece's efforts to fight the Communist rebels in the face of Albania's over support for the insurgency.
Comment: The Albanian claims of a supposed invasion were dismissed by the United Nations, citing Greece's fight against the Greek Communist rebels, who enjoyed Albanian support. The official name of that operation is "Operation Pyrsos", not the "Albanian-Greek border incident" or the "August 1949 provocations".
Koçi (2018): The Balkan Wars (1912-1913), delineation of Albania's borders, the Corfu Protocol (1914), the Peace Conference in Paris (1920), the Italy-Greek War, the deportation of the Cham population (1944-1945), the Peace Conference in Paris (1946) and the earthly claims about the so called Northern Epirus, the involvement of the Albanian communist state in the Greek Civil War (1946-1949) and the August 1949 provocations organized by the Greek government over the territory of the Albanian state, are episodes of a long series of misunderstandings and hate between the two states and populations; ...
Comment: The only thing that the Albanian historian Koçi is saying here, is that there were allegedly some Greek provocations in August 1949; these though, happen to coincide with the aforementioned "Operation Pyrsos". It appears that in Albanian historiography, that Greek military operation is known as the "August 1949 provocations". I cannot find a single non-Albanian author who used this term.
Paravantes (2020): Shortly thereafter, following a discussion with Deputy Prime Minister Tsaldaris, the British chargé d'affaires informed the State Department that both the British and French governments believed that the Greek army was planning an attack on Albania. Contradicting statements by UK Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin in July, the British advised that the US should move quickly to prevent Greece from attacking Albania and noted that they had informed the Greeks that should a conflict with Albania be initiated, no military or diplomatic support could be guaranteed to them. In mid-August 1949, Tsaldaris again met with Bevin in Strasbourg to discuss international alternatives to Greek military intervention in Albania that would address the Albanians' continued assistance to Greek communist forces. Bevin said that if the communist forces continued to retreat into Albania and to launch attacks from that country, regardless of whether the Albanian forces were actually taking part, the incident would cease to be a Greek issue and would move in the international sphere of aggression by one state against another. He suggested that the matter be taken up in the United Nations, with Britain and the United States leading the action against Albania.
Comment: As User:Pikavoom wrote above, it seems that plans or talks of a possible invasion did indeed exist, but this never actually happened due to objections by the UK and US. Could some of the clashes between the Greek Government troops and the Greek rebels have taken place near or on the Greek-Albanian border? Sure they could have, but this was due to the constant retreat of the Greek rebel forces behind the Albanian border. Again, this is officially known as "Operation Pyrsos", and its aim was to eliminate the remaining strongholds of the Greek rebels in Gramos and Vitsi; at the Greek-Albanian border.
Demetrios1993 ( talk) 03:59, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Merge per Spiderone and Demetrios1993. The article already exists under the more precise title "Operation Pyrsos". Having two articles about the same subject, isn't helpful. The "Albanian-Greek border incident" is a generic and ambiguous title which not only lacks precision such as a date or another type of qualifier like how it was done elsewhere, i.e. 2020 Greek–Turkish border crisis, but also this is not how the sources do call it. Edit: I checked thoroughly the Wikipedia Project and my findings confirm my expectations: The historic operations/incidents across Wikipedia got their articles named accordingly with the sources and for clarity. An article with an ambiguous title like this one, is not in line with Wikipedia's standard practices and only serves as a WP:POVFORK to the other article. Edit 2: Changing my vote from Delete to Merge, as I have noticed that the article has been expanded further in meantime, citing unreliable sources in some instances; if the article is to be Merged instead of deleted, then the unreliable or non-secondary sources, will have to be removed or replaced with ones that meet Wikipedia's criteria for WP:RS. The last thing we need here in dealing with POVFORK articles such as this one, is to deteriorate the original article's quality by adding dubious sources or primary sources reflecting the Communist propaganda which has no place in Wikipedia. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ ( talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 10:15, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to Operation Pyrsos. Demetrios1993 has analysed the historiography. Some of this might usefully be added to the article. A redirect from Greek provocations of 1949 might also be merited, if that is what Albanian historiography calls it. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:49, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep there are many sources in Albanian about the clashes, a delete or a merge are not warranted. I used a long article from Gazeta Shqip which reproduces the official reports of Albania in August of 1949, but more can be written based on the same source and other populations. Durraz0 ( talk) 18:28, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Having many sources in Albanian, doesn't really rebut the fact that what Albanian historiography calls the "August 1949 provocations", is a reference to what the rest of the world knows as "Operation Pyrsos"; thus, the nominated article is essentially a WP:POVFORK of the latter. That is the reason you cannot find anything about the "August 1949 provocations" in publications by non-Albanian authors; it's because it is known by another name. It's also no coincidence that both the "August 1949 provocations" and "Operation Pyrsos" began on August 2, and that both lasted until the end of the month. Furthermore, the newspaper article by Gazeta Shqip isn't an ideal source, as it is a newspaper article (a publication with a focus on military history would be more preferable per WP:RSCONTEXT) written by an obscure individual named Darsnor Kaloçi (is he a historian?) who reproduced primary sources, such as articles by Bashkimi and Zëri i Popullit, which at the time served as propaganda organs for the Party of Labour of Albania. But regardless of that, he essentially confirms that the reason Greece attacked in August 1949, was in order to eliminate the remaining strongholds of the Greek partisans in northern Greece; but since they also had bases inside Albanian territory, some of the fighting spilled beyond the borders as well. He also confirmed that in Albanian historiography and the propaganda of the communist regime before the 1990s, this Greek operation was known as "Provocations of August 1949".

  • Merge to Operation Pyrsos, as it is now apparent that this is a WP:POVFORK of it, and i believe that some of the existing content would be useful for it. However, i only support the inclusion of content that is based on reliable secondary sources, without giving undue weight to minor aspects; per WP:BALANCING. Per WP:SOURCEDEF, we also have to be very careful about the credentials of the authors we use, as well as WP:RSEDITORIAL. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 09:37, 18 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge The content should definitely stay, however a significant restructure is need. The way that the article is written, it reads as though the incident was one protracted event whereby Greece attempted to invade Albania from 2 August-5 September 1949. However this is incorrect, in reality this was multiple border clashes occurring as isolated incidences, rather than a combined campaign. The page may stay as is if the original contributors want to completely restructure it, however a merge to Operation Pyrsos would create less work and make sense, given that they overlap.

  • Keep. There are many sources which speak on the subject matter, treating it as a separate event from the larger Operation Pyrsos, which largely took place within the borders of Greece. Articles of this type are not at all uncommon in Wikipedia, with there being several articles on border incidents including Albanian-Yugoslav, Taliban-Iran/Pakistan, Israel-Syria, China-India etc. This should not be an exception. I will expand the article more, and would appreciate if it is not prematurely deleted without consensus. Alltan ( talk) 09:24, 19 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • But why is it that only Albanian sources are talking about the August 1949 provocations? If it was indeed a different event, you would expect to find non-Albanian authors as well, talking about the August 1949 provocations. Also, why is it that no Albanian author is using the term "Operation Pyrsos" to denote a separate contemporaneous event against the Greek communists, if it is indeed viewed as a separate event? Personally, i haven't found an Albanian source that talks about "Operation Pyrsos". Furthermore, concerning the expansion of the Albanian-Greek border incident, i have to repeat again the need to use reliable secondary sources by credible authors. The current version rests too much on Albanian primary sources and newspaper/magazine articles by obscure authors. I am specifically referring to the following three references; source 1, source 2, source 3. What are the credentials of Përparim Halili, Jorgo Qirici, and Dashnor Kaloçi? In the case of a "merge", most of this content would have to be removed; i was actually thinking of a separate section that would deal specifically with the August 1949 events from the point of view of Albania, but only if it could be supported by scholarly material. The only reason that would justify a separate article in my opinion, would be if it was large enough, to the point that a "merge" would cause undue weight concerns ( WP:SPINOFF); but again, its content would have to be based on reliable secondary sources. Even though the size of the nominated article is currently large enough when compared to the current state of Operation Pyrsos (it can be expanded more), it is unfortunately mostly based on the three aforementioned questionable sources. So, my advice would be to try and find reliable scholarly sources, and if they are detailed enough, then i wouldn't have a problem with a "keep". Believe me, the last thing i want is to have to deal with undue weight and content disputes after a "merge". Demetrios1993 ( talk) 13:29, 19 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • First of all I don't get the whole replying to nearly every "Keep" vote that gets on here. I understand there are good intentions, but it just gets TL;DR after a while. Now besides that, I will make it clear that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a source being Albanian. They can absolutely be used just as much as any other RS. The authors being Albanian does in fact not make it fail RS, nor does it make them questionable (but yes there are non-Albanian sources that talk about the matter). Further on, the source I added is by Jorgo Qirici, an Albanian army lieutenant (might be an ethnic Greek according to some FB posts of him) who writes for the official Military Magazine of the Albanian army. Another thing, the whole focus on Operation Pyrsos being the wider operation under which this happened might not be correct, as the quote I added by Papagos specifically separates the Grammos and Vitsi operation from the Albanian one. But even if that is not the case, just like this article may be a further expanded version of Pyrsos, so is operation Pyrsos just a part of the wider Greek civil war. But we obviously separate the latter, since there is need for a more specialized article to delve into the specific theatres of war which took place concurrently to each other. We also do this since there are multiple sources on the topic. As far as I can see the operation Pyrsos article is much smaller and delves into the theme far, far less than the current article. And I can tell you, there are many, many more sources on this subject. Just need time to add them all. Alltan ( talk) 19:02, 19 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Also Dashnor Kaloci has done some excellent investigative work into the matter. I had not checked him out before but will most definately use him. Alltan ( talk) 19:07, 19 July 2022 (UTC) reply
      • AfDs are meant for constructive on-topic discussions, and commenting under "votes" or recommended courses of action is a typical practice of this procedure per WP:DISCUSSAFD. There is nothing irregular about it. Second, i never said or implied that just because a source is by an Albanian author, this affects its reliability. My reference to Albanian and non-Albanian sources, has to do with trying to understand if the "August 1949 provocations", as an event, is to be found only in Albanian historiography, or others as well. Now you claim that there are non-Albanian sources that talk about the event. Which are those? Concerning Papagos' quote, even if true (i haven't managed to verify it), it is already established above that plans or talks of a possible invasion did indeed exist, but this never actually happened due to objections by the UK and US. Even the UN dismissed these claims. What seems to have happened are isolated incidents as a result of the broader offensive against the Greek communists, who were actually present on both sides of the border; this is even indicated by the term "August 1949 provocations" that is used to describe them in Albanian historiography, as opposed to "August 1949 invasion". As for the use of separate articles to describe certain aspects of a single event in more detail, i already told you that i am perfectly fine with spinoff subarticles, but only if such details are supported by reliable scholarly material, and we are not dealing with a WP:POVFORK. The assessment of primary sources (affiliated with the Communist Party of Albania) by individuals such as Jorgo Qirici and Dashnor Kaloçi should be viewed with extreme caution. Being an Albanian army lieutenant or investigative journalist doesn't automatically make you into a specialist or recognized expert on the topic; non-authoritative statements cannot be presented as facts per WP:RS. If there are many sources on the subject, it shouldn't be that difficult to find detailed scholarly sources. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 08:56, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
        • The articles' title is "Albanian-Greek border incident" not "August 1949 provocations". The events happened and there are sources which speak about it. Them being part of Albanian historiography does not somehow make them unreliable. I will add historiographical sources to the article as well, and will say I am feeling rather rushed with it, since you immediately went to AfD it instead of say opening a talk page discussion. The article is not a POV fork. Pyrsos as an article describes Greek monarchists fighting Greek communists. This Article describes Greek monarchists fighting Albanian border guards. A POV-fork would be writing an article describing Operation Pyrsos from a Greek communist POV, something which this is absolutely not. Your original arguments about there only being 2 sources have been adressed, the copyrighted image was removed and the article is currently in the process of being improved. The more I read up on it, it seems that these events spanned an area from Devoll down to Finiq, almost the entire Greek-Albanian border. I have added a source which says ::In fact , that had already happened in August 1949 , when Greek military forces entered Albanian territory in was subsequently seen in Tirana as an effort to establish the Greek chauvinist claims on Korça and Gjirokastra. 13 Days later the UN's special committee published a supplementary report , which would de facto justify the Greek intervention, concluding that Greece should not be expected to tolerate the Albanian support for regime change in Greece". Its an English source, published by Hurst. Alltan ( talk) 14:34, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
          • The title that was chosen by Wilhelm ii0, who created the article, is "Albanian-Greek border incident", but that's not how it is known in Albanian historiography. Again, i never said anything about Albanian historiography being unreliable. I said that primary and non-scholarly sources should be treated with extreme caution. As for whether this is a WP:POVFORK of Operation Pyrsos, describing events from the point of view of communist Albania. The incidents that are described are contemporaneous to Operation Pyrsos, and in the same location; the broader area of Grammos. Also, most of the content is ultimately based on primary sources that were affiliated with the Communist Party of Albania. For example, articles by Bashkimi and Zëri i Popullit, which at the time served as propaganda organs for the Communist Party of Albania, or documents by its defense ministry that are used by Jorgo Qirici. Furthermore, Operation Pyrsos wasn't just limited within Greek borders, and it didn't just involve Greek governmental and communist forces; communist Albania actively supported the latter, and the fighting had spilled within Albanian territory as well. Dashnor Kaloçi wrote the following:
Po kështu edhe mali i Gramozit dhe zona të tjera në brendësi të kufirit shtetëror në zonën e Korçës dhe Kolonjës, ishin kthyer në baza të ushtrisë partizane greke të gjeneralit Marko Vafjadhis dhe aty ishin ngritur edhe disa spitale ushtarake ku kuroheshin dhe mjekoheshin partizanët grekë. Si rezultat i gjithë këtyre, të cilat Athina zyrtare e asaj kohe i konsideronte ndërhyrje zyrtare në punët e brendshme të saj, në gushtin e vitit 1949, ajo i sulmoi forcat partizane greke deri në pozicionet e tyre të fundit, në malin e Gramozit, duke i ndjekur ata edhe brenda territorit shqiptar, ku partizanët grekë u tërhoqën për t'u shpëtuar sulmeve shkatërrimtare të forcave qeveritare greke.
While military historian Jonathan House, wrote the following:
Their hopes to hold out until winter were dashed when the government launched Operation Pyrsos (Torch) in August 1949. ... On the 25th, the GNA [Greek National Army] moved rapidly to seal off Grammos from neighboring Albania. The next day, the Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha followed Tito's lead, halting artillery fire from inside his country and announcing that anyone crossing the border would be interned. Although he did not attempt to disarm the DAG [Democratic Army of Greece] troops, he did threaten to cut off food supplies if they returned to Greece. By the end of the month, all resistance had ceased in the Grammos Mountains, leaving the GNA in possession of 40 field guns, 600 machine guns, and 200 mortars, as well as 1,000 dead DAG fanatics. The Greek Civil War virtually ended with Operation Pyrsos.
Even the quote (it wasn't copied accurately, and 13 is a reference number) you shared above by Albanian author Paulin Kola (2003), corroborates all these. On the other hand, Jorgo Qirici (an Albanian army lieutenant) that you used to expand the article, doesn't even acknowledge such support and treats it as fiction. As for the discussed events spanning an area from Devoll down to Finiq; not really. You are obviously referring to a single incident with a plane that Jorgo Qirici wrote about. However, that plane was taking off from Corfu, and was simply being used for reconnaissance up to the area of Grammos; it was passing through Finiq, because its base was in Corfu. In any case, i understand that at this point a "merge" would only cause undue weight issues; however, this doesn't negate some of the aforementioned issues. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 08:35, 21 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • The events being contemporaneous and related doesn't mean one must be a fork of the other. And yes, the Albanians had supported the Greek communist rebels, something which was often used as a pretext for the attacks which happened within Albania. Jorgo Qirici's article was published in Revista Ushtarake in 2016, the official military magazine of Albania. Any particular view of his should be compared and juxtaposed with other sources. On the plane incident, it was intercepted and downed after simply violating Albanian airspace in the midst of heated skirmishes and an ongoing escalation on the border. It's incidents like this which have caused Albanian sources to refer to the events as provocations. Alltan ( talk) 13:01, 21 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • I already explained why this is a WP:POVFORK. Furthermore, a legitimate WP:SPINOFF would at the very least treat these incidents as part of the broader Operation Pyrsos, which is even corroborated by Dashnor Kaloçi. As for Jorgo Qirici's article being published in Revista Ushtarake in 2016, you are mistaken. Your citation is actually a supposed reproduction of an article by Jorgo Qirici in Revista Ushtarake, published by www.radiokosovaelire.com on 4 February 2016; this date doesn't pertain to the publication of the actual article. And even if such an article was published by Revista Ushtarake, it doesn't make it reliable. Reliability can be affected by the type of the work, the publisher, and the creator of the work, whom in this case is an Albanian army lieutenant without any academic credentials, citing primary sources from the defence ministry of communist Albania. Last, the heated skirmishes happened in the broader area of Grammos, and were directly linked to the offensive of Operation Pyrsos; so was the incident with the plane apparently, which despite its violation, was used for reconnaissance up to the area of Grammos. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 05:32, 22 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Per the excellent argumentation of Alltan. The original AfD request was based on the fact that the article had only two sources, one being a primary source. The article has since been expanded with new credible sources. The content is now clearly worthy of having its own article. Furthermore, I wanted to emphasize the fact that the credibility of a source should not be based on the ethnicity of its author. Also, the copyrighted picture was removed so this has nothing to do with the deletion or merge of the article. Ahmet Q. ( talk) 20:02, 19 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I see no reason why this article cannot stand alone; as explained by Alltan, specialised articles are required for different theatres of war, and indeed, there is an abundancy of sources that can be used to further expand this article. To me, it would seem that a merge into Operation Pyrsos would downplay the content of the current article - it will minimalise the importance of the content in this article and the reality of the events. What I am trying to say, is that it will mask the defeat of the Greeks by Albanian forces, which is something I believe may have motivated the push to initially delete (and upon realising that it's not right, merge) this article - the historical reality portrayed by this article is simply disliked. Now, that aside, there's plenty of sources that can be used, such as [ [8]] (pg. 258) among many others. Like Alltan stated, time is needed to find them all. Rome wasn't built in a day, and a hasty move to try and delete it then later merge it serves no real benefit at all whatsoever. Botushali ( talk) 04:50, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • As explained to Alltan, there is nothing wrong with spinoff subarticles to present certain aspects of an event in more detail, but as Pikavoom also said above, this appears more as a WP:POVFORK of Operation Pyrsos, describing events from the point of view of communist Albania. It's no coincidence that you cannot find anything about it in non-Albanian sources, nor any mention of Pyrsos in Albanian sources; it is the same event. The reason that no Greek communists are mentioned in the official Albanian narrative of the time, in relation to that event, probably has to do with the fact that their presence and activity on Albanian territory, as well as the support that they received from the Albanian state, was all part of a secret operation known as "Aksioni 10"; this is mentioned by Dashnor Kaloçi who was discussed above, and who also says that the narrative regarding the "provocations of August 1949" has affected the historical memory of several generations of Albanians, and has thus become part of Albanian historiography. As for the Albanian book you shared, it doesn't provide any details, just the following:
Në vitin 1949 Greqia ndërmori provokacione të vazhdueshme kundër Shqipërisë. Ndër to, provokacioni më i rëndë ishte ai i 2 gushtit 1949 në sektorin e kufirit Bozhigrad-Bilisht, ku njësi të ushtrisë monarkiste greke u futën në territorin shqiptar. Luftimet vazhduan disa ditë , deri në tërheqjen e plotë të forcave greke. Pala greke e justifikoi këtë veprim, gjoja, me mbështetjen që Shqipëria u jepte forcave komuniste greke që vepronin në territorin grek.
The events that began on August 2 and lasted for several days, are known as Pyrsos I; the first phase of the operation. According to non-Albanian historiography, the aim of the Greek governmental forces was to carry out sporadic deceptive attacks in the area of Grammos (divided between Greece and Albania), in order to divert the attention of the Greek communist forces and let them think that the main attack was to happen there. Demetrios1993 ( talk) 08:56, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep the original arguments of Demetrios for merge were correct, but it's also evident that in the last few days the article has been expanded to almost 20k. The topic fulfills WP:N criteria and publications about it seem to be increasing in recent years. The article about Operation Pyrsos is ~6k. A merge wouldn't work on a technical level but also in terms of content as there is enough material for a standalone article for the events on August 2-6 on the border. There is still difficulty in finding non-Albanian sources for events which cover the 1945-1990 period of Albania as there was little contact with the outside world and subjects like this one weren't part of historical research until a part of the archives of Socialist Albania was declassified. I think that the article in the next phase should include more sources which will reflect the "Greek version" of the events.-- Maleschreiber ( talk) 17:13, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge: Those minor incidents occurred as part of Albania's support of the Greek communist guerrillas. There was even a Greek prisoner's centre located in southern Albania. I also wonder what makes 'radiokosovailire' a historical source (obviously an extremist site per its name). Alexikoua ( talk) 02:54, 22 July 2022 (UTC) reply
OK, this is actually getting ridiculous now. It seems certain editors here enjoy throwing around the term "extremist" for Albanian sources. 'Radiokosovailire' translates to 'Free/Independent Kosova Radio', how does that name denote extremism? When you talk about extremist sites, you think of sites that incite violence, terror and other forms of extremism, like ISIS recruitment websites, not 'Free/Independent Kosova Radio' hahahaha...

RadioKosovaelire is not the publisher, but a site which has republished an article by colonel Jorgo Qirici in Revista Ushtarake, the official scientific journal of the Albanian army. It obviously reflects the Albanian point of view about the events, which means that the article requires the Greek point of view as well. The fact that the article reflects a WP:POV doesn't make it less WP:RS because for military events the official narratives of the involved factions are necessary for writing relevant articles.-- Maleschreiber ( talk) 06:06, 23 July 2022 (UTC) reply
I doubt if a journal, especially a scientific one can ever publish a text without any supportive bibliography or a single inline reference. We have plenty of retired and active Colonels writing down their version of history and this doesn't make them necessary wp:RS like in this case. Alexikoua ( talk)

  • Redirect - to Solar Saros 120. I don't think WP:TOOSOON applies here, because that applies to things that aren't notable yet, or that don't have enough information to be notable quite yet. This isn't that situation. It has sources and can easily be verified and does seem to be notable, it just happens to be far into the future. If something being far into the future disqualified it from inclusion then we couldn't have articles like Timeline of the far future (which is a featured list, so it's clearly a good article to have on Wikipedia). My issue is that there's no substance to the article, and everything listed can easily be included at Solar Saros 120 (in fact I think most of it already is). This article has to repeat what a solar eclipse is, other dates for other solar eclipses, and then explains what Solar Saros 120 in particular is just to pad it out the article, and even with that it's still just a sparse stub. When taking unique content into account, there's nothing there.

Is there any example of modern astronomy incorrectly predicting a solar eclipse? As far as I can tell, the timing of eclipses is calculated with extremely high precision (to within minutes, even for events hundreds of years away). jp× g 20:48, 4 July 2022 (UTC) reply
I second this. Future eclipses are calculated and their expected occurrence is not mere speculation. Eclipses have been accurately predicted prior to the invention of computers; we can now predict eclipses somewhat accurately for many thousands of years (well within the system's Lyapunov time, but that deals with planetary dynamics more generally), and NASA sees fit to publish calculations up to 3000 AD [9]. Of course, however, shorter-term predictions are more accurate, and inaccuracies on a timescale of 200 years would concern precise details of the path and timing, not whether the eclipse will occur. This article explains everything quite nicely. ComplexRational ( talk) 19:41, 12 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, per what I said at the other nominations. This is not WP:CRYSTAL — it's a mathematically determined certainty of physical reality based on thousands of years of astronomy (by which nearly all human civilizations have considered eclipses to be notable events of great significance and portent). The fact that it hasn't happened yet is immaterial; current models are able to accurately antedict observations from thousands of years ago. Per XOR'easter, there may be a case for putting this information into a list, but it doesn't really seem worth the effort. Yes, a list is easier to create, but since articles have already been created, there is zero effort saved by performing the additional work of a merge for uncontroversial articles. jp× g 20:52, 4 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Solar Saros 120. Other than the fact that this is the last solar eclipse of the cycle, there's nothing particularly extraordinary about this future solar eclipse, and no coverage independent of the broader topic. Qwaiiplayer ( talk) 13:32, 8 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Solar Saros 120 per above comments. There's no disputing the accuracy of the calculation, so WP:TOOSOON may not apply and WP:CRYSTAL certainly does not apply, but the question is whether significant coverage exists. Considering that this is a partial eclipse, and that most sources highlight either routine calculation or that it's the last eclipse of the Saros cycle, I'm not sure that such coverage exists to justify a standalone article.

These two pages are essentially WP:CONTENTFORKs of April 6 Youth Movement with plagiarism wedged in. Democratic Front is copied straight from Youth Movement with the first half of the section '#Anti-Protest law campaign' lifted straight from here (and I'm certain it's from this place because the first edit to the page even links it! It just says "Page text" randomly!) Copyvio! Democratic Front Alexandria (DFA) fares little better. It may have copied another source, but I'm not certain. Though I am certain that it was copied from Youth Movement back in the day, and Youth Movement expanded significantly.

The author of Democratic Front was blocked 3 days after the editor wrote the article (username policy); DFA's author has not. DFA's author suspiciously has written the article on Yasser Shamsaldin Mohamad, the "founder" of DFA. My guess is that these cases were to boost exposure. Nothing has been done to the articles since.

1996 Chorley Borough Council election

1996 Chorley Borough Council election (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Reviewed during new page patrol. I wasn't sure what to do with (ones like) this one and opened a discussion at NPP and there were mixed thoughts/ no clear answer there. Accordingly, I would like to request a thorough large-participation review as the results this might set a direction or provide guidance. This is about a 1996 election in an area with approx 107,000 residents. It consists about 99% election results data with the other 1% being a few intro sentences. There is nothing unusual about the election. Wp:not is not explicit on this but in a few places seems to preclude this type of article. There was doubtless some local coverage. Saying that "presumed local coverage" alone should green-light it would mean that there probably I'd guess about 100,000,000 stats-only local election articles that could be green lighted. I believe there is no applicable SNG, nor precedent documented in wp:outcomes. The editor appears to be in the process of creating separate article for each election / year for this borough. Thanks in advance for your thorough review of this. North8000 ( talk) 15:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC) reply

I was mistaken, there is an SNG which is Wikipedia:Notability (events). IMO it pretty clearly fails that, but being an SNG, that still leaves the overall wp:notability question open. North8000 ( talk) 15:20, 18 June 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I'm replying as a comment because I am treating this as a general review of this sort of article, rather than a typical AfD. I am convinced we should have articles only on notable local elections. To be notable, a local election would have been extraordinary: perhaps legal issues arose that led to a change in the procedure of elections; perhaps there was a huge scandal associated with one of the candidates that aroused sustained interest in the national press; perhaps the election was the straw that broke the camel's back, and toppled a government. A measure of non-notable is that all we have are tables of how many people voted for each candidate, as in the present case. If there is nothing interesting to say about an election, beyond bald statistics, then it does not belong in Wikipedia, which is not a database of statistics. Incidentally, I think this is a general trend in Wikipedia. For example, we have older articles on sportspeople recorded as competing in the Olympics, which we're now deleting as we know nothing more about them, and they didn't win a medal. The day will, I'm sure arrive where we stop focussing on the medal, and instead focus on the coverage: did anyone say anything interesting about this subject? In the case of local elections, we need more than the local newspapers' temporary interest over a few weeks. Elemimele ( talk) 16:03, 17 June 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I think it is possible for an election to be notable. Elections for executives, upper chambers in a bicameral legislature are notable. Election to a lower chambers in a bicameral legislators or for state/provincial legislatures may be grouped together. Other elections, including local elections, may be notable when there are secondary and retrospective sources that illustrate how the election as noteworthy (perhaps for some of the same reasons described by Elemimele) or is the first election for a president, prime minister, or similar political figure, where the election article is a spinoff. In any case, the article should consist of significant prose that describes the context and outcome(s) of the election. -- Enos733 ( talk) 17:52, 17 June 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Fails WP:EVENTCRIT. This notability guideline for events reflects consensus reached through discussions and reinforced by established practice, and informs decisions on whether an article about past, current, and breaking news events should be written, merged, deleted or further developed. Among the criteria:
"Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect."
"Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards (as described below)."
"Events having lesser coverage or more limited scope may or may not be notable; the descriptions below provide guidance to assess the event."
"Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance."
"In evaluating an event, editors should evaluate various aspects of the event and the coverage: the impact, depth, duration, geographical scope, diversity and reliability of the coverage, as well whether the coverage is routine. "
The election 1) does not have enduring historical significance, 2) does not have widespread impact, 3) has limited scope of coverage, 4) is routine.—  rsjaffe  🗣️ 19:11, 17 June 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete IMO, per the normal decision making process there are two different guidelines ( Wp:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (events) ) plus one policy ( WP:not ) taken into consideration. Since the routine description wiki-conversations is not couched in those terms, in the end I think such needs to be expressed as clear-cut SNG decision and a calibrated WP:GNG decision. I would agree some of the highest level / largest scale/ inherently highest impact elections per the criteria/examples set by @ Enos733: are inherently notable enough to be eligible for an SNG type "by-pass"/ addition to the SNG. Most of the other ~100 million elections are not one of those. There is an SNG which covers this ( Wikipedia:Notability (events) )and IMO this article and similar ones clearly fail it. This still leaves open the possibility of passing via WP:GNG. IMO, the clear failure under the SNG also provides some guidance of or reinforcement for a thorough interpretation of sourcing required for GNG. Specifically, requiring in-depth coverage of the titled topic which is not just routine short-term election coverage including that only of individual races within it. This article (and others like it) do not have that. Further, the generation of a near "stats-only" article with no such sourcing and no "non-stats" material (not counting a perfunctory Wiki-editor-generated into sentence and Wiki-editor-generated unsourced summary) is a further indicator that such is unlikely to exist. Finally, further reinforcement comes from at least two places in WP:Not including, by being a near "stats only" article, falling far short of "mostly prose".

  • Comment: I am rather concerned that this AfD has apparently taken place without any involvement by participants in either Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom or Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referendums, both of which regard the very similar 1998 Burnley Borough Council election article as being within their scope. The latter article is certainly currently somewhat more informative and better cited than this one - but the topics of two articles are very similar (Burnley is only a few miles from Chorley, and the councils themselves are generally comparable), and it is almost certain that the better sourcing of the Burnley article is due to more competent searches for (and use of) reliable sources rather than any inherent differences in the quality of those sources. (Indeed, while I don't have the expertise to get at such sources myself in any reasonable time, I would reckon that all the cited sources for the 1998 Burnley election would have almost precisely equivalent ones, from the same publications, for the 1996 Chorley one.) I would therefore strongly urge that the two projects are informed of this AfD, and that the AfD should be held open for a few more days for them to be given the chance to make their own assessments of this article and respond. PWilkinson ( talk) 15:05, 24 June 2022 (UTC) reply
    The concern is not about reliable sources. The concern is the election 1) does not have enduring historical significance, 2) does not have widespread impact, 3) has limited scope of coverage, 4) is routine. Sources need to be found that contradicts at least one of those points for the election to be notable. —  rsjaffe  🗣️ 16:09, 24 June 2022 (UTC) reply
    I'd echo what rsjaffe said. I'd also add that the types of attributes described typically would end up with substantial prose-type coverage of those type of things. And so an article lacking that or being a 98% "stats only" article can tend to be an indicator of that. When I opened this I requested a thorough review / discussion. I'd like it help open long enough for that to occur. So please keep this open until at least July 1. But I'd like sincere discussion on the general issues mentioned, not just hitting an area likely to come up with "keep" votes and I'm concerned that people focused on the particular geographical area involved might be that. I was hoping for a discussion of this type of thing in general which might help provide general guidance. Putting a note at a notability page might also be good....I think I'll do that.

  • Comment: This doesn't look like a good way to structure this information to me, and I think it should probably be reduced to a summary paragraph in the parent article (which would require reorganizing that article somewhat). The level of detail here is useless to the reader without further context. There is also the sourcing issue, but even if the current primary source for the election stats were replaced or supplemented by an independent secondary source, it wouldn't really change things. If there were, hypothetically, good local sources giving context and analysis (or ideally historical analysis) of the election, such as could support an article, then the fact that those sources are local should not matter. Beyond that, I don't think AFD is a good place to have this discussion, because (a) it is highly unlikely to attract a representative cross-section of knowledgeable editors, and (b) AFD is by nature a zero-sum discussion (see !votes above), but this seems like an issue that could be brought to a positive-sum solution through ordinary processes of editing and consensus. -- Visviva ( talk) 18:32, 24 June 2022 (UTC) reply

  • My own experience of this type of just stats UK local council election article was that I moved some to draft space for improvement and requested deletion of the redirects (before I got page mover rights). The over enthusiastic admin deleted the articles themselves as G13 even though they'd just gone to draft - he was later de-admined for other issues and retired. Later the creator of the articles requested their un-deletion and moved them back to mainspace. I'd had enough of them by then, regards Atlantic306 ( talk) 23:53, 24 June 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Wikipedia has become one of the few remaining sources for detailed local election results, some from the very beginning of Wikia itself. They are honest, true, accurate, and encyclopaedic. They've survived AfDs before on the basis of being records of electoral results and should do so again. doktorb words deeds 17:40, 26 June 2022 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the post. My main goal here is to try to "sort this out", and so my following post is towards that end rather than for a particular outcome. Well, Wikipedia is only supposed to contain information that is published elsewhere. Perhaps you meant "on line" or "easily searchable on line". But that argument would seem to be an argument for a complete transformation of Wikipedia. A quick ballpark guess is that there have been about 100,000,000 governmental elections. Right now having GNG type coverage is the additional criteria to screen them. With a "stats only" article condition being perhaps a flag for that. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 14:30, 27 June 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep the outcome should be the same as for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2022 St Albans City and District Council election, which was open at the same time. Any apparent difference in consensus is likely to be because that one was listed under England deletions whereas this was not, the tendency for later votes to follow the earlier ones as editors like to keep their AFD stats looking good, and the nonsense about 100,000,000 articles. Even assuming we had the results of similar numbers of elections around the world, that many would mean either going back a few millennia, or separate articles for each parish council election (unnecessary even if they were notable, as they are usually only 1, 2 or 3 wards) or equivalent. Chorley borough elections only go back to the 1970s for the current district (and the 1880s for the former municipal borough, which was smaller). I think that non-metropolitan district/borough elections are an appropriate level of coverage, and that is what consensus has always been. 82.132.186.25 ( talk) 00:06, 2 July 2022 (UTC) reply
A quick guess of 100,000,000 elections is plausible, not nonsense.Every governmental entity that has elections for every year in history could easily hit 100,000,000 elections. North8000 ( talk) 13:58, 3 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment The St Albans AfD was closed after only two comments, so it's not an exhaustive opinion of WP editors. It shouldn't set a precedent that can never be overturned. I am worried by this. There are over 200 elections of this size every year in the UK alone, and because WP is a global encyclopaedia, we have to consider how many similar elections take place across other countries that expect coverage here: the US (obviously), Canada, India etc. etc.; we will be adding thousands of articles a year, most of which contain nothing but statistics that could easily be found elsewhere. Yes, there will be press coverage - there always is for an election - but there is no lasting interest, and if all we report is the results, then we are merely mirroring primary data as laundered through a secondary source, rather than truly secondary-sourced material. There is no doubt the information ought to be available to the public, but it's not encyclopaedia stuff. Elemimele ( talk) 08:25, 3 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment In promoting this as an example article and requesting thorough debate, I think that there could be two useful outcomes. One is that referring to to this AFD might be useful taken in the context of it being for the particulars of this election and the particulars of what is and isn't in the article and its sources. The second is that if we can get a very thorough close which summarizes the discussion, I think that that would also be very useful. And so I'd like to request such a thorough close. What this would NOT be is using the a mere "keep" or "delete" result as a blanket indicator for all election articles. North8000 ( talk) 13:54, 3 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete fails the criteria for EVENTCRIT. It does not have widespread (national or international) impact. These types of local elections are WP:ROUTINE and not really newsworthy or important, except to a relatively small local population. Fails GNG by lacking a sufficient amount reliable sources. A statistical chart or official government publications and notices are not independent reliable sources. --- Steve Quinn ( talk) 18:47, 4 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I think that to really deal with these, we need to recognize that dealing with these intelligently needs to acknowledge assessing by multiple considerations combined, the unacknowledged way that Wikipedia actually operates. Another way to say it is about wp:notability, but also taking into account the degree of compliance with wp:not which is a measure of the degree of enclyclopedicness. A "stats only" article means that wp:not weighs in against this, but not to the extent of clearly precluding it based solely on wp:not. "Stats only" also influences a GNG evaluation. And also acknowledge that the scale and prominence itself also matters. Wikipedia:How Wikipedia notability works acknowledges this combination of considerations. So on the "prominence/scale" aspect, this comes in low-medium...an entity with ~107,000 people and not state or national level (thus no support from any SNG, and wp:events weighing in against it), "stats only" means that wp:not weighs in against if not so strong to specifically forbid it based solely on wp:not. WP:GNG weighs in against it, although if it weren't for those other considerations we might bend the GNG rules a bit. IMO, my "delete" probably considered this to be just below the "keep" threshold via combined consideration of all of these factors, which (if you need to oversimplify it) could also be called a wp:notability decision.

  • Delete. Ultimately, this comes down to Wikipedia not being an indiscriminate collection of information. Stifle ( talk) 15:49, 13 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to Chorley Borough Council elections. This is a comment on this article, which can also serve as a guideline for all such articles. Wikipedia is not the place that people are going to go to for a borough by borough recap of a council election. The net result - winner or loser - should go in the election history section of the main article. I looked at Chorley Borough Council elections and sadly it's just a list of links, but those should be replaced with the summary results from the annual elections. Source with a link to the more detailed tallies on the municipal sites. That will cut down the number of these these articles by a good factor. And it reflects a better understanding of how people use Wikipedia. And it's easier to keep up the info. We won't create the expectation for future readers that this info will be here for every election, since it more than likely won't be. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 18:43, 13 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Leaning delete. Perhaps we need to establish specific guidance on what elections should be included, but I don't see this occurrance of strictly local significance as being among them. BD2412 T 17:47, 14 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I agree that it fails WP:EVENTCRIT and GNG. Additionally, I notice some of the "keep" votes are making arguments that have nothing to do with this subject's notability (complaints about padding AfD stats, etc.). Those should probably be disregarded. Wes sideman ( talk) 12:57, 15 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Procedural keep close as wrong venue. North8000 is trying to establish general guidelines for local elections with an AFD. AFDs should be about one specific article, not about policy principles. This discussion has become hopelessly entangled with the general principle. A Request for Comment would be more appropriate, or a proposal made at Village Pump. This could affect a very large number of articles; Chorley Borough Council elections shows that every election since 1994 has its own page, and they are all similar to this one. Other councils such as Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council elections are similar. It would be entirely wrong to delete them all piecemeal on the basis of one AfD. Spinning Spark 14:57, 15 July 2022 (UTC) reply
A single AFD would have no such reach, and I never said otherwise. But a thorough discussion on a real edge-case example would be useful. North8000 ( talk) 15:20, 18 July 2022 (UTC) reply
Yes it would because it would set a precedent that can be referred to in later AfDs. You said as much in your nom with "the results this might set a direction or provide guidance". The inevitable result of a delete here would be a mass nomination of thousands of articles with similar structure/content for UK elections alone. Spinning Spark 10:58, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Spinningspark: You view the potential impact of this AFD to be much larger than I do. And BTW it's much more plausible to take my statement that you quoted in it's context (including me saying that i wasn't concerned about the overall result) and intended meaning. Which is that the particulars of an in-depth conversation could be helpful for future discussions. North8000 ( talk) 13:02, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: no long-term significance, no coverage beyond the local, probably no significant coverage in independent reliable sources at all. If it isn't possible to write an article on a subject that isn't just decontextualised data, we shouldn't have an article on that subject. Merging to Chorley Borough Council elections isn't a viable solution because that article has the same problems as all the articles on individual elections; summarising all the election results in the grandparent article Borough of Chorley might be the most sensible option, but deleting this needn't preclude that. –  Arms & Hearts ( talk) 19:38, 16 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: To myself and to many people interested in elections, Wikipedia is an invaluable historical source of information that is no longer available from other sources such as the council websites. The loss of pages such as this would hinder research into historical trends in different authorities and for different parties. Legalistic procedural arguments are besides the point, the only relevant criteria is whether an article is useful. Peterl22 ( talk) 23:28, 17 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • There is no reason to delete. It has been the long standing position that all principle authority elections are included. No one goes around deleting London Borough election results, for example. There are people who look at historical results for shire districts and often this information is not freely available from another source, particularly before around 2000.

The result was keep. This is a nuanced one, for much of the reasons HighKing and the nom noted and the rescope that happened during this discussion. It appears that the McBrides are intricately tied to their businesss, which frequently happens with family businesses. The deletion !votes appear to be about the sisters, and in fact one says the company might be, which turns the vote itself into a not clear delete following the re-scope. This could be a no consensus with the outcome being the same, but my read is that this is more of a keep based on discussion. Star Mississippi 02:36, 24 July 2022 (UTC) reply

This article has to sort out who and what it is. Is it a biography? (It's tagged as such) But if so, it is of two people. Is it a business? (It's tagged as such) If so, it's really not notable. The largest black owned female focused winery is really cheese paring here - and there's little notability on offer to pass WP:GNG let alone WP:NCORP. Is the coverage about a business or the sisters? Is the article about the business or the sisters? To which of these do we apply WP:GNG when paring the application of guidelines? The business confers no notability on the sisters. The sisters confer no notability on the business. Deletion is the simplest course - because notability here is lacking all round. Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 16:38, 1 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and move page to McBride Sisters Wine Company. Despite the rather confusing use of the term "cheese paring" above, this was an appropriate nomination given the state the article was in. As the nominator states, it was originally pushed to Mainspace, uncertain of whether it wanted to be a biography or an article about a business. It has now been rewritten as an article about the business, and will need to be moved to the company name if kept. I'm still in the process of editing and adding to the article, but at this point, I would suggest the following articles to establish notability: Fort Meyers News-Press and Fortune.com, with the Washington Post wine review as a possible third (per WP:NCORP, while product reviews need to be handled the care, the Washington Post wine columnist arguably has a long and established history of independence). (The two latter articles are also available via the Wikipedia Library.) Cielquiparle ( talk) 11:42, 4 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment if this AfD is based on the topic being a company, I'd !vote to Delete since none of the sources meet NCORP criteria for establishing notability. But this is also one of those topic where the *people* who are involved in the company, taken together with the company and its achievements, etc, does appear to make the entire package together notable. But in my opinion, the sisters themselves have several articles written about them (which perhaps also mention their company) and would meet the criteria of other notability guidelines - on that basis I'd !vote to Keep. HighKing ++ 19:57, 18 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Well, this DOES become interesting. The article has now been rewritten to focus on the BUSINESS and not the sisters. As such, it should now be reviewed as needing to pass WP:NCORP - although HighKing makes the point that the sisters are perhaps to be considered notable but the business not - do we now have a notable business in McBride Sisters Wine Company per Cielquiparle??? That does at least partly solve the identity conundrum I outlined in the nomination, but now we have Delete votes and Keep votes with a mix of reasons! Three Delete votes including my nomination say the company is not notable. One delete vote says the company may be notable but the sisters are not. Three Keep votes say the company is notable and the title of the article needs to change. Although my understanding is an AfD would not normally be relisted three times, this one has sort of changed course halfway through and may be eligible for another attempt to reach consensus based, this time, on WP:NCORP???

  • Added source and new section. In light of more recent comments, I added a new section on "Business history" and more importantly, a major source that was missing previously. It is this article in Wine Spectator, which is tempting to discount at first because it includes a Q&A interview with the sisters. However, the Q&A interview is preceded by four paragraphs about the history of the business, written by MaryAnn Worobiec who is a senior reviews editor for California and New Zealand wines. Unlike all the other articles, Wine Spectator includes the most precise explanation of how the "largest Black-owned wine company" claim can be verified (by volume, per Nielsen statistics on number of cases shipped to retail outlets). It is also very precise about how exactly the Sisters' business grew from a small importer to a partner of Diageo and then independent. I understand that "trade" publications are generally regarded with caution, but in this case, I think you could argue that Wine Spectator wouldn't easily be swayed by vendor marketing – and indeed, even the Washington Post wine critic flags Wine Spectator as an authoritative source. In total, together with the articles flagged previously, I think there is enough coverage to keep this article about the largest Black-owned wine company in the United States, which has a human interest founding story that has also gained significant coverage in the media (even when specifically excluding publications such as Essence which make it clear that McBride Sisters has advertised with them).
