Note that this is not the same person as Dipak Adhikari, who's also currently up for AFD in a separate discussion -- however, the creator of that article did try to make this one go away by arbitrarily moving it into draftspace and then blanking it solely in order to "clear the decks" for his pet topic.
So I've reverted that since it isn't proper process, but that doesn't mean the article itself is okay: it's an article about a journalist who isn't properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for journalists. An article about a journalist needs to be referenced to sources in which he's the subject of coverage written by other people, but this is referenced almost entirely to sources where he's the bylined author of coverage about other things, which is not what it takes to make a journalist notable. And the only source that does actually meet the required standard just gives one blurb's worth of information about him in the context of having been one of 12 contributors to an anthology book, which isn't enough proper media coverage to pass WP:GNG all by itself.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have considerably better referencing than this. Bearcat ( talk) 16:03, 2 March 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete and redirect to Dev (Bengali actor). Searching is difficult (partly because there are several others with the same name and partly of the language barrier), but I haven't been able to identify any significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The available sources consist mainly of interviews, passing mentions, quotes, and articles that Adhikari himself has written—none of which satisfy the GNG. There is similarly no indication that any of the criteria at WP:NJOURNALIST are met. This title would be a useful redirect to Dev (Bengali actor), although there would be no reason to preserve this article's unrelated page history in that case.

Article is written as if subject is a politician (fails WP:NPOL anyway). To me, this seems like a candidate for public office that has decent coverage in the media, but doesn't seem notable. PerpetuityGrat ( talk) 22:55, 9 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Edited text and amended style to improve NPOV and aimed to focus on the notable action around COVID-19 local support group activism, added citations and removed some of the political details e.g. previous elections, replaced officeholder infobox, as she was not elected, with infobox-person. Others can decide if this has improved the article and if it passes re notability. Kaybeesquared ( talk) 22:06, 10 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Comics archaeology

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

The scope of this article is unclear, and the references are insufficient to present comics archaeology as a coherent subdiscipline. They are:

  • A Bachelor's thesis; the author argues that analysing comic books can be a form of archaeological research.
  • A general history of comics, cited for background. (I don't have access to the book, so can't check whether it has any information about archaeology.)
  • A book chapter about the use of comics for public outreach during a preservation campaign.
  • An archaeologist's reflections on his work, presented in comic-book format. gnu 57 22:36, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply

  • I think that I can make a shrewd guess as to what the thesis author was doing 25 days after the thesis publication date.

    As to the subject rather than the author, it is clearly resting solely upon that one thesis. Some quick research turns up an OUP book, ISBN  9780190917944, on comic book studies a.k.a. comics studies, that does not describe the field as archaeological, not even in the list of disciplines from art history to media studies in chapter 37. Nothing that I can find corroborates the idea. This is fairly clearly a violation of our no original research policy. Delete.

    Comment I'm not sure how that applies here. As far as I'm understanding it, WP:RAILOUTCOMES is a general list of common outcomes, not a multiple-choice quiz. The outcome here, whatever that ends up being, doesn't have to be among those. XtraJovial ( talk) 03:01, 19 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    It doesn't apply. NemesisAT never actually cites policy in their !votes at AfDs. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 13:29, 22 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per NemesisAT. The chance of their being no sources about a railway station in India are essentially nil, it's just those sources are likely to be in a language other than English and/or offline. Even if, for some bizarre reason, this station was not individually notable, the correct course of action would be to merge and redirect to a broader article (most likely the line it is on) not deletion.

  • Draftify as an alternative to deletion. To hell with RAILOUTCOMES, it isn't 2006 anymore and we cannot have articles with zero sources hanging around in mainspace like this. Verifiability is a core policy of Wikipedia, and this article fails it. Shame on those voting keep and insisting "but there must be sources" - that's not how this works at all ( Wikipedia:But there must be sources!). Anyone can claim that anything has sources, but that's not enough, we need to actually be shown specific sources for the article. And if this gets draftified and then moved back into mainspace without improvement, it should just get deleted entirely instead. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 15:05, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    Nice theory, but per NemsisAT, there is a source. Thryduulf ( talk) 17:29, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    Directly from the "source" in question: "Disclaimer: This website has NO affiliation with the Government-run site of Indian Railways. This site does NOT claim 100% accuracy of fast-changing Rail Information. YOU are responsible for independently confirming the validity of information through other sources." If this counts as a reliable source, I'll eat my shoes. There are zero reliable sources supporting even the existence of this train station. Did you even look at the source? Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 17:54, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. There is clear consensus that we keep railway stations and WP:CONSENSUS is a policy. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 14:45, 18 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    And consensus can change. It is a foolish argument to say "this must be kept because we always have done things this way". That editors are willing to entirely ignore WP:V, one of our most fundamental principles, is extremely concerning. Someone could create an article on a hoax train station and people like you would still vote to keep it without even checking the station even exists. I will be taking this to DRV if it is kept and no editors have identified a single reliable source. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 15:43, 18 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    "People like me"?! What, you mean extremely experienced editors who have been working on building Wikipedia for many years? Consensus can sometimes change, but it has not changed in this case, as recent AfDs show. Claiming that we should ignore consensus because consensus can change is essentially saying that consensus is irrelevant. It is not. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:43, 18 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    Apparently wanting Wikipedia to be verifiable is a minority position. "Extremely experienced editors" should know better than anyone else the importance of WP:V. Without verifiability, we are no better than Fandom or any random person's blog. Oh well, if consensus (among a small group of editors who routinely attend train station AfDs) is more important than ensuring Wikipedia is accurate, so be it. I think it's an incredibly foolish point of view that risks the credibility of Wikipedia as a resource millions of people rely on, but clearly that isn't important to those present in this discussion. I don't know why I waste my time trying to convince others that we shouldn't have totally unverified articles in mainspace when we can't even ensure their accuracy, let alone their notability. It's the same arguments every time, and the arguments that ignore policy to keep policy deficient articles always win solely based on numbers (why do we even use the term !vote when it's literally just counting votes?). Shit articles like this should not be allowed in mainspace. Entirely unsourced and unverified content is useless and actively harmful to Wikipedia.
    I've complained about the notability of many train stations stubs, as NemesisAT can tell you, but his creations are always at least verifiable. This article isn't even verifiable. And when I ask for even a single reliable source to show verifiability, I am totally ignored because THEREMUSTBESOURCES but nobody can actually find or demonstrate said sources exist. The total ignorance of policy in favor of the circular logic of "we keep all train stations because we keep all train stations" fully on display here is extremely disappointing to witness and should concern anyone who cares about verifiability. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 16:57, 18 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Draftify at the very least. If there are sources, why aren't they being shown here? If sources can't be found, then that's all the more reason not to keep this article in mainspace. XtraJovial ( talk) 18:15, 18 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Here is a source to demonstrate WP:V (there is brief coverage over converting the station to a "block station" to increase capacity, whatever that is):

"Chief Digital Officer" of Monaco, a country of 38,000 people. Run-of-the-mill businessman. Promotional article, created by a WP:SPA. Not seeing independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources, either in the article or elsewhere online - fails WP:GNG. Edwardx ( talk) 15:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. The article contains no assertion of notability, outside a passing, one sentence long praise by by critic in one book. My BEFORE found a few more passing mentions which suggest that the character is seen by some as a highlight of the film ( The Cannonball Run) but given the lack of WP:SIGCOV, that praise can be discussed in the film article. As such, I suggest we merge the one sentence of critic reception of this character to the film article (which currently doesn't mention this character outside plot summary and list of characters) and redirect it there. Prior AfD made a claim that there is lots of coverage but failed to cite any specific source outside a NYT-affiliated blog ( [5]) which also is not SIGCOV and all it is useful or is as a possible reference for the claim that this one one of Dom DeLuise more memorable roles (he did not, however, win any awards for it, nor is it even mentioned in prose in our biography of his). In the end, this seems like one more unnotable, WP:FANCRUFT trivia, an artifact of Wikipedia's early years where people wrote Wikia/Fandom-level content on Wikipedia. 20 years later we need move on.

  • Comment: I'd argue the Kaliningrad is effectively a new city. Königsberg was quite nearly destroyed in WWII. Only 120,000 survivors remained in the city. Of those, the Soviets deported 100,000 Germans back to Germany, leaving only 20,000 (5%) of the pre-war population (372,164 in 1939). There is therefore no cultural continuity, almost no population continuity, and the physical continuity was mostly rubble. The Soviets then brought in their own desired population and built a new city on the remains of the old one. Skyerise ( talk) 13:54, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose - this article focuses on Königsberg when it was still majority German. It explains the history, the demographics, the architecture, the buildings, etc, that cannot be reduced into a section in the article of Kaliningrad. It is also not strange to have a separate article focusing on the history.

    We are talking about the modern town here, not ancient history as your presented examples.

Sorry. - GizzyCatBella 🍁 14:57, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    Not all of the examples come from ancient history, like Constantinople was renamed to Istanbul in 1930. Batavia is in a similar situation with Königsberg, it transformed into Jakarta after Indonesia gained its independence as a result of WW2 and the Indonesian National Revolution (which ended in 1949, so we can say that the transformation of Batavia to Jakarta is even more recent; had the Dutch won the war, the city would still have been called 'Batavia'). We have a separate article for Batavia because the history, the details of the demographics, buildings, architecture, etc, cannot be reduced into a section in the article Jakarta, which discusses the modern city. The same applies for Königsberg and Kaliningrad. Königsberg has a really rich history as a German town (it was part of the Hanseatic League, and it was famous as the city of Immanuel Kant), it cannot be reduced into a section in the article Kaliningrad, which is an entirely new Russian city.

  • Oppose - The true name of the city in english is Konigsberg, if anything the Kaliningrad article must be merged into this one. XavierGreen ( talk) 16:14, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose i.e. Keep - They represent a settlement at different times in history just like Constantinople and Istanbul. Also my experience is that the historical detail of a place can get watered down in cases when its population has changed from one culture to another. The former culture is suppressed in favour of the current, leaving the article very imbalanced. For example, in some cases, you'd hardly know that a settlement was German and important within the Holy Roman Empire for several centuries prior to the Second World War and that the current culture has only been there for 70 years. The two articles are already well deconflicted in terms of coverage with Königsberg covering the timeline up to WW2 and handing over to to Kaliningrad which focusses on the timeline since then. And both refer to each other appropriately. Bermicourt ( talk) 17:06, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The article isn't about modern Kaliningrad, it's about the historical city Konigsberg. Constantinople and Istanbul have the same situation. So does Sparta and Sparta, Laconia, or Classical Athens versus Athens. Cities change significantly over time, and Konigsberg/Kaliningrad had a name change, its entire population changed, the entire culture changed, the political status changed, etc etc. Sometimes it's helpful to have multiple articles to focus on different parts of a city's history.

  • Merge to Kalingrad. They are the same city. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 19:01, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The city was in large part destroyed, including the university that was one of the primary things it was known for, its population was replaced (many were killed, the remainder were expelled), and the entire regional context and system of governance changed. There is almost no continuity. Merging into Kaliningrad would create a massive UNDUE situation on the city that previously existed on the site. Yngvadottir ( talk) 21:37, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment for the record, it's been discussed multiple times since 2006 on the article talk page, which anyone can see by glancing at the indexed archives (cute trick, I'll have to learn how to do that). For example, [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]. At least two requested move proposals failed. The article is where it is because Kaliningrad is basically a new city built on the rubble of Königsberg. This is a longstanding position of the majority of editors of the article. It's clear that the nominator @ GizzyCatBella: didn't look at or ignored the editorial discussion on the matter. Skyerise ( talk) 00:15, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - This article mainly focuses on the pre-World War II city, while the Kaliningrad article focuses on the post-World War II city. It's acceptable to have two separate articles on seemingly two separate histories, as noted by the examples by the users above. -- MuZemike 01:00, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep. While it's true that we don't have separate articles about Danzig, Breslau, Stettin, etc, it's also true that none of those places were arguably as significant historically or culturally as Königsberg, the former capital city of the Duchy/Kingdom of Prussia. And, there's no question that the history of the city of Königsberg easily meets WP:GNG. I think the Constantinople/ Istanbul comparison is an apt one to be made here. If you're looking for an official policy, I guess there's always WP:IAR. Bottom line, keeping this article will make Wikipedia a better place, so let's go ahead and keep it.

  • Keep, silly to debate this at AFD. At best this is a merge proposal, and the article title clearly is a suitable redirect. The situation is quite different from Gdansk/Danzig, which had a significant Polish history before 1945. I also oppose a merge, as 1945 is a natural point where the article can be split up. Article title should be discussed at WP:RM, not at WP:AFD. (We do have History of Bratislava, with Pozsony and Pressburg redirects to the modern city, not to the history, but we have Byzantium/ Constantinople/ Istanbul, so there is precedent for either way of structuring such an article). — Kusma ( talk) 11:15, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • This is an interesting case. By the existence of two articles, we are suggesting that the old city of Königsberg has ceased to exist. This carries certain implications. For example, should every city in the Kaliningrad region have two articles? Should the article Tilsit be separated from Sovetsk? From Baltiysk should the article Pillau be separated? What about Danzig? The city was destroyed to a similar extent. Of course, Kaliningrad Oblast is special because here we are dealing not only with almost total destruction and complete replacement of population, but also with almost complete abandonment of reconstruction and changing the name to a completely new one. This, however, cannot be said of similar examples in Poland or the Czech Republic. But on the other hand, medieval Gdansk was burned down in 1308 and a new city was founded elsewhere. Kiev was burned to the ground in 1240 and 1482. Lviv was destroyed in 1250 and 1350, each time a new city was founded in a different place. Should there be a separate entry for each of these periods? Rather not. So merge is the only sensible solution. There is no reason for two separate articles about the same town. Marcelus ( talk) 16:07, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Folks, I’m not sure why you hold those bizarre views that to me still don’t make much sense, (this is the same blody city) but if this is the case then keep it constant and build two separate article for other cities in the same region of Russia such as: Baltiysk/ Pillau for example, and all these 23 other significant cities and towns in Kaliningrad Oblast --> [15] Come on, will you? :) ... right... I want to hear why not, but other than because "Kaliningrad is a special case etc." because it is not any different from 800 years Pillau or 500 years old Svetly other than size of those towns. - GizzyCatBella 🍁 16:59, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply

No. I'm suggesting that you are wrong about what is actually correct here. A city is not simply a physical entity. It is also a cultural and political entity. The cultural and political entity called Königsberg came to an end when its most of its inhabitants were deported to Germany. Maybe you'd have been able to convince people to agree with your wrong conclusion in a different political environment, but in the current one I beleive it's a lost cause.

@ GizzyCatBella: "Our standards" include the splitting of long articles. It is actually recommended. Guidelines say that an article >100,000 bytes "almost certainly should be divided". Königsberg is currently at 73,738 and Kaliningrad is at 93,402. There is little duplication so a merged article would be ~160,000 bytes. It would immediately be proposed to split it. How would you suggest it be split? I believe the articles meet our standards, and so do nearly all the editors responding. On top of that, we don't start a merge discussion by nominating an article for deletion. We use merge tags and have the discussion on the talk pages of the articles involved. Why'd you nominate the article rather than doing that? Seems to me that's pretty POINTY. Skyerise ( talk) 19:14, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
We aren't talking here about the actual merger of the both articles, we are talking about sensibility of keeping two articles about the same town.

That's exactly what's already been done. Neither the city nor the name Kaliningrad existed prior to 1946. Kaliningrad has no history prior to 1946, or rather, that history already has a proper name, and that name is 'Königsberg'. Skyerise ( talk) 19:37, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Not notable enough. This is only a qualifying tournament for 2022 FIFA World Cup. FIFA does not request the Oceanian teams to submit fixed squads for it. Centaur271188 ( talk) 08:42, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Can I ask, why do "fixed squads" matter. Seems like every FIFA tournament these days allows for players to replace one another and more than a list of 23 to be given anyway? Also, can someone explain to me how a tournament used directly for a FIFA World Cup spot (or half spot, in this case) is "not notable enough", but Football at the 2017 Islamic Solidarity Games – Men's team squads passes? - J man708 ( talk) 10:27, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - @ J man708: To me, 'fixed squads' demanded and later announced officially by FIFA are notable enough. This is not the case here - your first sentence in the article is factually wrong already, unless you have sources to prove it. Secondly, a fixed squad can only be amended within a time limit (24 hours before the team's first match, per 2018 regulations), and it is still fixed during this pandemic (per Euro 2020 regulations, a squad could have up to 26 players, and 23 of them would be registered for a match). This is not the case here either - the teams can call up more players afterwards, so it is just like the 'squads' announced before any normal international windows. Finally, I would pass all squad articles for Olympics, Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games etc. as long as they have good sources, because those all are proper sporting events. This is not... you know it. Centaur271188 ( talk) 11:31, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
Source - Squads seem pretty fixed from this article. Like the Euro's 26, the maximum squad size seems to be 30. Teams can't logically call up more players, as they'd have travel and quarantine. - J man708 ( talk) 02:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
@ J man708: That cannot be considered an official announcement by any means. In addition to my previous points, a fixed squad also has fixed jersey numbers for players. Needless to say, these 'squads' fail that criterion too. Your other arguments are only speculation. Interestingly, the Papuans said they had registered a reserve list of "up to 60 players" [17]. You might want to find that list and add it, if your article survives this AfD :) Centaur271188 ( talk) 05:13, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
How can it not be an official announcement if it's on the OFC's own website? Preliminary World Cup squads contain 30 or more players all the time, seems the same to me. We don't include the preliminary ones, only on the country's article under recent callups. Also, I feel like you're also speculating that squads won't maintain fixed jersey numbers. Can I just ask, if the OFC retroactively a few years down the line decided that this tournament should be given OFC Nations Cup status, then I'd assume you'd have no issue with its article status? If so, may I ask, what's the difference if it's something that a name change alone can justify the article's status? - J man708 ( talk) 09:54, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
@ J man708: 1: FIFA and OFC have not requested fixed squads from Oceanian teams in the first place, so that announcement is only informative. 2: Even preliminary squads for World Cup finals are notable enough (I contributed to the 2018 squad article quite actively), until the final squads are confirmed, this is not relevant anyway because we are talking about qualifying 'squads'. 3: All official squads have fixed jersey numbers announced simultaneously, before the teams start playing - not this time, we will have to watch all teams' first 2 matches to verify their 'seemingly fixed' numbers (how ridiculous). 4: If I remember correctly, Wikipedia does not cover 'what if' stuff, so I will not answer your questions. Centaur271188 ( talk) 11:27, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
Your three arguments all seem just as speculative?, but that's fine, points made. As for the 4th, you know that's bull - if they retroactively named this the OFC Nations Cup, you'd be as for it as the Euros squad pages. Either way, I understand this page won't survive (or will miraculously be remade should the tournament be retroactively named). I'm just wanting this page to survive for the week as a reference listing of the squads to save time looking between the nation's pages - J man708 ( talk) 13:34, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
@ J man708: No, why do you think that? Actually I admit my latter half of #1 sounds speculative, but only that part. And yes :) if your assumption comes true, then... Anyway, if you want to keep it as a ref listing, why wouldn't you try a sandbox page? Centaur271188 ( talk) 16:01, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
I didn’t set it up as a sandbox page because I didn’t think it would be immediately put up for AfD. Probably will turn it into one though for the sake of referencing it, however. - J man708 ( talk) 22:27, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply

No, the actual Euro 2020 tournament has defined squad lists for the tournament (23 players who are the only ones that can play). Qualifying tournaments don't have this, as you can choose 25 players for a squad for one set of matches, then a different combination for all the other matches.

  • This isn't an island, but a vingtaine. Indeed, given the 19th century subdivision it is half a vigntaine (presumably a dizaine ☺). The source cited very clearly got its information from the single real source on this subject, which is an article in volume 6 of the Bulletin of the Société Jersiaise. This has a family history with Raoul, Gillaume, and Genette Tourgis and the fief of Les Arbres. It's more than the article has. The only problem is that it's the only source, recycled and repeated several times over the past century and a bit. I'd like to have two. There's a translation from the original French of the Bulletin article at https://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php/Notes_on_the_origins_of_placenames along with a translator's note that the original article is possibly a bit dodgy. So I would really like to have two. Unless there are two, independent of James A. Messervy, which I for one cannot find, delete. Uncle G ( talk) 23:30, 8 March 2022 (UTC) reply

  • To KtMystic, to make a page keep-worthy in Wikipedia, it needs to have many coverage in secondary sources. Any information taken from its official website or its own social media (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc) is not counted towards notability (per WP:GNG). It needs to be well-written in those secondary sources, not only a simple mention, and it needs to be from multiple sources (per WP:GNG). Secondary sources is like online newspaper (e.g. The Star, Berita Harian, Malaysiakini etc). Any language of those secondary sources is acceptable (including non-English), as long as you translate the cited title into English if they are not in English per (per WP:GNG).

Most of these sources only contain trivial mentions that aren't significant coverage, and aren't the main subject of a source. Just because it has been mentioned in articles, usually covering a different subject, doesn't mean it's notable. — Berrely •  Talk∕ Contribs 16:03, 5 March 2022 (UTC) reply
The sources in the "Additional sources (less significant coverage)" section provide less significant coverage about Uniform Map. The first six sources I listed provide significant coverage about Uniform Map as demonstrated by the quotes. Several of the articles are specifically about Uniform Map only and do not cover a different subject.

Wikipedia:Notability (web)#Criteria says:

Keeping in mind that all articles must conform with the policy on verifiability to reliable sources, and that non-independent and self-published sources alone are not sufficient to establish notability; web-specific content may be notable based on meeting one of the following criteria:

  1. The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations
The sources I provided demonstrate Uniform Map is "the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself".

  • Delete The references provided by Cunard are trivial at best, to not even about the topic at worst. None of them from what I can tell are at the level of direct, in-depth coverage of this that we need for it to be notable. At the most what is available justifies mentioning the website in the main School uniform article, but that's about it and I have serious doubts that is even worth doing. That said, I'd at least take it over keeping this just because there's a bunch of name drops about it in articles that are only slightly or not at all related to the website that this article pertains to. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 05:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: The assertion that Uniform Map is among the "most mediocre of subjects" may be true when compared to other subjects. But it is not a policy-based reason for deletion when many reliable sources consider Uniform Map worth covering. I found sources in China ( People's Daily), Japan ( Chugoku Shimbun), and Taiwan ( China Times). That international sources consider the Uniform Map website worth covering strongly establishes notability.

    I do not agree with the assertion that "The references provided by Cunard are trivial at best, to not even about the topic at worst". Each of the six sources I linked provide significant coverage about the subject. Here my analysis about the first three:

    1. The first source from People Daily is titled "Taiwanese uniform enthusiast website Uniform Map is a hot topic. More than 700 types posted." The article notes that the site was created by 35-year-old uniform enthusiast Masamasa Ouyo, who invested 20 years and 1 million Taiwanese dollars to purchase 700 types of uniforms from more than 300 high schools. It discusses how he got into collecting uniforms and how he had to obtain the girl uniforms through friends and auctions since he was a male. The article discusses how Chugoku Shimbun covered the website and quoted from China Times.
    2. The second source from Apple Daily is titled "'Uniform Map' Voting: Taipei Municipal Jingmei Girls High School's yellow shirt voted most beautiful." The article notes that Uniform Map is the first Taiwanese app where people can search for high school girl uniforms. The article discusses how the app works and how the app was launched on 6 June 2013. The article notes that the website was created by a "netizen in the information industry" and discusses why he created the website. The article notes that the website was accessed by 400,000 people on the day it launched. The article notes that the app was available on Android but not on iOS yet. The article lists the top four most voted uniforms. The article said that 256 schools were listed on the website in the day after the launch.
    3. The third source from China Times is titled: "For the first time in history, voting on the most popular uniform from Taiwan's 500 high schools". The article notes that Uniform Map co-organized a vote on which uniform is the most popular from Taiwan's 500 high schools. The article notes that the contest received over 100,000 votes and tens of millions of views. The article notes that Jiang Shunzhi is the founder of the website. On 1 May of the previous year, he decided to "combine high school uniforms and maps" which "immediately set off a uniform craze on the Internet".
    Uniform Map passes Wikipedia:Notability (web)#Criteria. Cunard ( talk) 09:00, 22 March 2022 (UTC) reply
Sure, a source that discusses how a dude got into collecting school uniforms is an in-depth significant coverage about the subject, right. I could be totally off here, but the last time I checked the article isn't about school uniform collecting. Let alone the app developers journey as a collector of them. Make an article about those subjects if you think they are notable, but neither uniform collector or the app developer is what this is about. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 12:08, 22 March 2022 (UTC) reply
The article discusses information about the creator's uniform collecting in the context of why the creator founded the website and how many uniforms were on the website in the first day of launch. This contributes to the source providing significant coverage about the website's origins and history. Cunard ( talk) 15:17, 22 March 2022 (UTC) reply
How exactly does the article do that? Literally all it does is name drop the app in the beginning and then discusses the dudes collection. Nowhere in the article from what I can tell does it connect his collection to how many were on the website on day launch day. Let alone does it give any history of the website's origins or whatever. significant or otherwise. Sure, the dude started it because he likes school uniforms, but that's literally all it says and there's nothing significant about that. Either way, I'd love to see a website that was created by someone who didn't have an interest in the subject. "I started bears.com because I like bears. Now let me tell you a story about why I think bears are the greatest animal ever." is the epitome of trivial, non-significant coverage. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 07:08, 23 March 2022 (UTC) reply

When biologists at Mountain Lake Biological Station in Virginia conduct their annual survey of plants in the genus Silene that grow along the roads in a certain local area, they record their data in 40-metre lengths of roadside, which are called psilons (likely a pun on the name of the genus). And that's what the article is about. It's kind of cute, and there's something very attractive in the idea that Wikipedia can serve as a catalogue of obscurity and whimsy, but we do have inclusion standards and this is very far from passing them. The only coverage I'm able to find is passing mentions in a couple of papers, with the most detailed treatment found in a 1995 paper by Thrall and Antonovics ( doi: 10.1139/b95-385), which has half a paragraph explaining why 40 meters is a convenient size for those surveys. I was thinking the article could be redirected somewhere ( Mountain Lake (Virginia)#Mountain Lake Biological Station?), but I don't think there's a way to work even the tiniest mention into the prose without giving it undue weight. – Uanfala (talk) 00:40, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Note that this is not the same person as Dipak Adhikari, who's also currently up for AFD in a separate discussion -- however, the creator of that article did try to make this one go away by arbitrarily moving it into draftspace and then blanking it solely in order to "clear the decks" for his pet topic.
So I've reverted that since it isn't proper process, but that doesn't mean the article itself is okay: it's an article about a journalist who isn't properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for journalists. An article about a journalist needs to be referenced to sources in which he's the subject of coverage written by other people, but this is referenced almost entirely to sources where he's the bylined author of coverage about other things, which is not what it takes to make a journalist notable. And the only source that does actually meet the required standard just gives one blurb's worth of information about him in the context of having been one of 12 contributors to an anthology book, which isn't enough proper media coverage to pass WP:GNG all by itself.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have considerably better referencing than this. Bearcat ( talk) 16:03, 2 March 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete and redirect to Dev (Bengali actor). Searching is difficult (partly because there are several others with the same name and partly of the language barrier), but I haven't been able to identify any significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The available sources consist mainly of interviews, passing mentions, quotes, and articles that Adhikari himself has written—none of which satisfy the GNG. There is similarly no indication that any of the criteria at WP:NJOURNALIST are met.

The scope of this article is unclear, and the references are insufficient to present comics archaeology as a coherent subdiscipline. They are:

  • A Bachelor's thesis; the author argues that analysing comic books can be a form of archaeological research.
  • A general history of comics, cited for background. (I don't have access to the book, so can't check whether it has any information about archaeology.)

    As to the subject rather than the author, it is clearly resting solely upon that one thesis. Some quick research turns up an OUP book, ISBN  9780190917944, on comic book studies a.k.a. comics studies, that does not describe the field as archaeological, not even in the list of disciplines from art history to media studies in chapter 37.

  • Keep per NemesisAT. The chance of their being no sources about a railway station in India are essentially nil, it's just those sources are likely to be in a language other than English and/or offline. Even if, for some bizarre reason, this station was not individually notable, the correct course of action would be to merge and redirect to a broader article (most likely the line it is on) not deletion.

  • Draftify as an alternative to deletion. To hell with RAILOUTCOMES, it isn't 2006 anymore and we cannot have articles with zero sources hanging around in mainspace like this. Verifiability is a core policy of Wikipedia, and this article fails it. Shame on those voting keep and insisting "but there must be sources" - that's not how this works at all ( Wikipedia:But there must be sources!). Anyone can claim that anything has sources, but that's not enough, we need to actually be shown specific sources for the article. And if this gets draftified and then moved back into mainspace without improvement, it should just get deleted entirely instead. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 15:05, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    Nice theory, but per NemsisAT, there is a source. Thryduulf ( talk) 17:29, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    Directly from the "source" in question: "Disclaimer: This website has NO affiliation with the Government-run site of Indian Railways. This site does NOT claim 100% accuracy of fast-changing Rail Information. YOU are responsible for independently confirming the validity of information through other sources." If this counts as a reliable source, I'll eat my shoes. There are zero reliable sources supporting even the existence of this train station. Did you even look at the source? Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 17:54, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. There is clear consensus that we keep railway stations and WP:CONSENSUS is a policy. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 14:45, 18 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    And consensus can change. It is a foolish argument to say "this must be kept because we always have done things this way". That editors are willing to entirely ignore WP:V, one of our most fundamental principles, is extremely concerning. Someone could create an article on a hoax train station and people like you would still vote to keep it without even checking the station even exists. I will be taking this to DRV if it is kept and no editors have identified a single reliable source. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 15:43, 18 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    "People like me"?! What, you mean extremely experienced editors who have been working on building Wikipedia for many years? Consensus can sometimes change, but it has not changed in this case, as recent AfDs show. Claiming that we should ignore consensus because consensus can change is essentially saying that consensus is irrelevant. It is not. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:43, 18 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    Apparently wanting Wikipedia to be verifiable is a minority position. "Extremely experienced editors" should know better than anyone else the importance of WP:V. Without verifiability, we are no better than Fandom or any random person's blog. Oh well, if consensus (among a small group of editors who routinely attend train station AfDs) is more important than ensuring Wikipedia is accurate, so be it. I think it's an incredibly foolish point of view that risks the credibility of Wikipedia as a resource millions of people rely on, but clearly that isn't important to those present in this discussion. I don't know why I waste my time trying to convince others that we shouldn't have totally unverified articles in mainspace when we can't even ensure their accuracy, let alone their notability. It's the same arguments every time, and the arguments that ignore policy to keep policy deficient articles always win solely based on numbers (why do we even use the term !vote when it's literally just counting votes?). Shit articles like this should not be allowed in mainspace. Entirely unsourced and unverified content is useless and actively harmful to Wikipedia.
    I've complained about the notability of many train stations stubs, as NemesisAT can tell you, but his creations are always at least verifiable. This article isn't even verifiable. And when I ask for even a single reliable source to show verifiability, I am totally ignored because THEREMUSTBESOURCES but nobody can actually find or demonstrate said sources exist. The total ignorance of policy in favor of the circular logic of "we keep all train stations because we keep all train stations" fully on display here is extremely disappointing to witness and should concern anyone who cares about verifiability. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 16:57, 18 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Draftify at the very least. If there are sources, why aren't they being shown here? If sources can't be found, then that's all the more reason not to keep this article in mainspace. XtraJovial ( talk) 18:15, 18 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Here is a source to demonstrate WP:V (there is brief coverage over converting the station to a "block station" to increase capacity, whatever that is):

His role in the hit Hindi language sitcom Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! was so popular that he was awarded two of most coveted television awards of India. Because of his popularity the producers of above TV serial created a separate TV show Happu Ki Ultan Paltan which showcases him in the main lead. This show has already had over 650 episodes since 2019. He still continues as part of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain also.

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. The article contains no assertion of notability, outside a passing, one sentence long praise by by critic in one book. My BEFORE found a few more passing mentions which suggest that the character is seen by some as a highlight of the film ( The Cannonball Run) but given the lack of WP:SIGCOV, that praise can be discussed in the film article. As such, I suggest we merge the one sentence of critic reception of this character to the film article (which currently doesn't mention this character outside plot summary and list of characters) and redirect it there. Prior AfD made a claim that there is lots of coverage but failed to cite any specific source outside a NYT-affiliated blog ( [5]) which also is not SIGCOV and all it is useful or is as a possible reference for the claim that this one one of Dom DeLuise more memorable roles (he did not, however, win any awards for it, nor is it even mentioned in prose in our biography of his). In the end, this seems like one more unnotable, WP:FANCRUFT trivia, an artifact of Wikipedia's early years where people wrote Wikia/Fandom-level content on Wikipedia. 20 years later we need move on.

  • Comment: I'd argue the Kaliningrad is effectively a new city. Königsberg was quite nearly destroyed in WWII. Only 120,000 survivors remained in the city. Of those, the Soviets deported 100,000 Germans back to Germany, leaving only 20,000 (5%) of the pre-war population (372,164 in 1939). There is therefore no cultural continuity, almost no population continuity, and the physical continuity was mostly rubble. The Soviets then brought in their own desired population and built a new city on the remains of the old one. Skyerise ( talk) 13:54, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose - this article focuses on Königsberg when it was still majority German. It explains the history, the demographics, the architecture, the buildings, etc, that cannot be reduced into a section in the article of Kaliningrad. It is also not strange to have a separate article focusing on the history. We do not delete Byzantium and Constantinople just because we have Istanbul, same with Sunda Kelapa and Batavia & Jakarta, Chang'an & Xi'an, Jiankang & Nanjing, Londinium & London, Vindobona & Vienna, Fustat & Cairo, etc etc. GuerraSucia ( talk) 14:26, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    We are talking about the modern town here, not ancient history as your presented examples. We don’t have separate articles for Wrocław and Breslau or Lviv and Lwów which changed under identical circumstances as a result of the WW2 exactly the same as Kaliningrad. Sorry. - GizzyCatBella 🍁 14:57, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    Not all of the examples come from ancient history, like Constantinople was renamed to Istanbul in 1930. Batavia is in a similar situation with Königsberg, it transformed into Jakarta after Indonesia gained its independence as a result of WW2 and the Indonesian National Revolution (which ended in 1949, so we can say that the transformation of Batavia to Jakarta is even more recent; had the Dutch won the war, the city would still have been called 'Batavia'). We have a separate article for Batavia because the history, the details of the demographics, buildings, architecture, etc, cannot be reduced into a section in the article Jakarta, which discusses the modern city. The same applies for Königsberg and Kaliningrad. Königsberg has a really rich history as a German town (it was part of the Hanseatic League, and it was famous as the city of Immanuel Kant), it cannot be reduced into a section in the article Kaliningrad, which is an entirely new Russian city.

  • Oppose - The true name of the city in english is Konigsberg, if anything the Kaliningrad article must be merged into this one. XavierGreen ( talk) 16:14, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose i.e. Keep - They represent a settlement at different times in history just like Constantinople and Istanbul. Also my experience is that the historical detail of a place can get watered down in cases when its population has changed from one culture to another. The former culture is suppressed in favour of the current, leaving the article very imbalanced. For example, in some cases, you'd hardly know that a settlement was German and important within the Holy Roman Empire for several centuries prior to the Second World War and that the current culture has only been there for 70 years. The two articles are already well deconflicted in terms of coverage with Königsberg covering the timeline up to WW2 and handing over to to Kaliningrad which focusses on the timeline since then. And both refer to each other appropriately. Bermicourt ( talk) 17:06, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The article isn't about modern Kaliningrad, it's about the historical city Konigsberg. Constantinople and Istanbul have the same situation. So does Sparta and Sparta, Laconia, or Classical Athens versus Athens. Cities change significantly over time, and Konigsberg/Kaliningrad had a name change, its entire population changed, the entire culture changed, the political status changed, etc etc. Sometimes it's helpful to have multiple articles to focus on different parts of a city's history.

For example, [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]. At least two requested move proposals failed. The article is where it is because Kaliningrad is basically a new city built on the rubble of Königsberg. This is a longstanding position of the majority of editors of the article. It's clear that the nominator @ GizzyCatBella: didn't look at or ignored the editorial discussion on the matter. Skyerise ( talk) 00:15, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - This article mainly focuses on the pre-World War II city, while the Kaliningrad article focuses on the post-World War II city. It's acceptable to have two separate articles on seemingly two separate histories, as noted by the examples by the users above. -- MuZemike 01:00, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep. While it's true that we don't have separate articles about Danzig, Breslau, Stettin, etc, it's also true that none of those places were arguably as significant historically or culturally as Königsberg, the former capital city of the Duchy/Kingdom of Prussia. And, there's no question that the history of the city of Königsberg easily meets WP:GNG. I think the Constantinople/ Istanbul comparison is an apt one to be made here. If you're looking for an official policy, I guess there's always WP:IAR. Bottom line, keeping this article will make Wikipedia a better place, so let's go ahead and keep it.

  • Keep, silly to debate this at AFD. At best this is a merge proposal, and the article title clearly is a suitable redirect. The situation is quite different from Gdansk/Danzig, which had a significant Polish history before 1945. I also oppose a merge, as 1945 is a natural point where the article can be split up. Article title should be discussed at WP:RM, not at WP:AFD. (We do have History of Bratislava, with Pozsony and Pressburg redirects to the modern city, not to the history, but we have Byzantium/ Constantinople/ Istanbul, so there is precedent for either way of structuring such an article). — Kusma ( talk) 11:15, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • This is an interesting case. By the existence of two articles, we are suggesting that the old city of Königsberg has ceased to exist. This carries certain implications. For example, should every city in the Kaliningrad region have two articles? Should the article Tilsit be separated from Sovetsk? From Baltiysk should the article Pillau be separated? What about Danzig? The city was destroyed to a similar extent. Of course, Kaliningrad Oblast is special because here we are dealing not only with almost total destruction and complete replacement of population, but also with almost complete abandonment of reconstruction and changing the name to a completely new one. This, however, cannot be said of similar examples in Poland or the Czech Republic. But on the other hand, medieval Gdansk was burned down in 1308 and a new city was founded elsewhere. Kiev was burned to the ground in 1240 and 1482. Lviv was destroyed in 1250 and 1350, each time a new city was founded in a different place. Should there be a separate entry for each of these periods? Rather not. So merge is the only sensible solution. There is no reason for two separate articles about the same town. Marcelus ( talk) 16:07, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    Should Byzantium and Constantinople be merged into Istanbul? Should Batavia, Dutch East Indies be merged into Jakarta? Should New Amsterdam be merged into New York City? Neither of these places ever ceased to exist. — Kusma ( talk) 16:28, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Folks, I’m not sure why you hold those bizarre views that to me still don’t make much sense, (this is the same blody city) but if this is the case then keep it constant and build two separate article for other cities in the same region of Russia such as: Baltiysk/ Pillau for example, and all these 23 other significant cities and towns in Kaliningrad Oblast --> [15] Come on, will you? :) ... right...

Are you suggesting that opposing comments here are based on the current political situation and not our fundamental editorial standards? Am I reading you correctly Skyerise? - GizzyCatBella 🍁 18:49, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
No. I'm suggesting that you are wrong about what is actually correct here. A city is not simply a physical entity. It is also a cultural and political entity. The cultural and political entity called Königsberg came to an end when its most of its inhabitants were deported to Germany. Maybe you'd have been able to convince people to agree with your wrong conclusion in a different political environment, but in the current one I beleive it's a lost cause. Skyerise ( talk) 18:55, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
You began with no and ended up with yes
So if the political environment was different, the outcome might have been merged or deleted. Oh Gosh.. Skyerise... I believe we should not be impacted by politics but stick to our standards and continue constructing informative, neutral Encyclopedia GizzyCatBella 🍁 19:05, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
@ GizzyCatBella: "Our standards" include the splitting of long articles. It is actually recommended. Guidelines say that an article >100,000 bytes "almost certainly should be divided". Königsberg is currently at 73,738 and Kaliningrad is at 93,402. There is little duplication so a merged article would be ~160,000 bytes. It would immediately be proposed to split it. How would you suggest it be split? I believe the articles meet our standards, and so do nearly all the editors responding. On top of that, we don't start a merge discussion by nominating an article for deletion. We use merge tags and have the discussion on the talk pages of the articles involved. Why'd you nominate the article rather than doing that? Seems to me that's pretty POINTY. Skyerise ( talk) 19:14, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
We aren't talking here about the actual merger of the both articles, we are talking about sensibility of keeping two articles about the same town. If the merged articles will have more than 100k then it will be split to subarticles like: "History of Kaliningrad" and so on Marcelus ( talk) 19:28, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
That's exactly what's already been done. Neither the city nor the name Kaliningrad existed prior to 1946. Kaliningrad has no history prior to 1946, or rather, that history already has a proper name, and that name is 'Königsberg'. Skyerise ( talk) 19:37, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply

2022 FIFA World Cup qualification - Oceania qualifiers squads

Not notable enough. This is only a qualifying tournament for 2022 FIFA World Cup. FIFA does not request the Oceanian teams to submit fixed squads for it. Centaur271188 ( talk) 08:42, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Can I ask, why do "fixed squads" matter. Seems like every FIFA tournament these days allows for players to replace one another and more than a list of 23 to be given anyway? Also, can someone explain to me how a tournament used directly for a FIFA World Cup spot (or half spot, in this case) is "not notable enough", but Football at the 2017 Islamic Solidarity Games – Men's team squads passes? - J man708 ( talk) 10:27, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - @ J man708: To me, 'fixed squads' demanded and later announced officially by FIFA are notable enough. This is not the case here - your first sentence in the article is factually wrong already, unless you have sources to prove it. Secondly, a fixed squad can only be amended within a time limit (24 hours before the team's first match, per 2018 regulations), and it is still fixed during this pandemic (per Euro 2020 regulations, a squad could have up to 26 players, and 23 of them would be registered for a match). This is not the case here either - the teams can call up more players afterwards, so it is just like the 'squads' announced before any normal international windows. Finally, I would pass all squad articles for Olympics, Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games etc. as long as they have good sources, because those all are proper sporting events. This is not... you know it. Centaur271188 ( talk) 11:31, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
Source - Squads seem pretty fixed from this article. Like the Euro's 26, the maximum squad size seems to be 30. Teams can't logically call up more players, as they'd have travel and quarantine. - J man708 ( talk) 02:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
@ J man708: That cannot be considered an official announcement by any means. In addition to my previous points, a fixed squad also has fixed jersey numbers for players. Needless to say, these 'squads' fail that criterion too. Your other arguments are only speculation. Interestingly, the Papuans said they had registered a reserve list of "up to 60 players" [17]. You might want to find that list and add it, if your article survives this AfD :) Centaur271188 ( talk) 05:13, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
How can it not be an official announcement if it's on the OFC's own website? Preliminary World Cup squads contain 30 or more players all the time, seems the same to me. We don't include the preliminary ones, only on the country's article under recent callups. Also, I feel like you're also speculating that squads won't maintain fixed jersey numbers. Can I just ask, if the OFC retroactively a few years down the line decided that this tournament should be given OFC Nations Cup status, then I'd assume you'd have no issue with its article status? If so, may I ask, what's the difference if it's something that a name change alone can justify the article's status? - J man708 ( talk) 09:54, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
@ J man708: 1: FIFA and OFC have not requested fixed squads from Oceanian teams in the first place, so that announcement is only informative. 2: Even preliminary squads for World Cup finals are notable enough (I contributed to the 2018 squad article quite actively), until the final squads are confirmed, this is not relevant anyway because we are talking about qualifying 'squads'. 3: All official squads have fixed jersey numbers announced simultaneously, before the teams start playing - not this time, we will have to watch all teams' first 2 matches to verify their 'seemingly fixed' numbers (how ridiculous). 4: If I remember correctly, Wikipedia does not cover 'what if' stuff, so I will not answer your questions. Centaur271188 ( talk) 11:27, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
Your three arguments all seem just as speculative?, but that's fine, points made. As for the 4th, you know that's bull - if they retroactively named this the OFC Nations Cup, you'd be as for it as the Euros squad pages. Either way, I understand this page won't survive (or will miraculously be remade should the tournament be retroactively named). I'm just wanting this page to survive for the week as a reference listing of the squads to save time looking between the nation's pages - J man708 ( talk) 13:34, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
@ J man708: No, why do you think that? Actually I admit my latter half of #1 sounds speculative, but only that part. And yes :) if your assumption comes true, then... Anyway, if you want to keep it as a ref listing, why wouldn't you try a sandbox page? Centaur271188 ( talk) 16:01, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
I didn’t set it up as a sandbox page because I didn’t think it would be immediately put up for AfD. Probably will turn it into one though for the sake of referencing it, however. - J man708 ( talk) 22:27, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete – Squad lists for tournament qualifiers are not notable enough for stand-alone articles as the squads can change between matches, whereas squad lists for final tournaments cannot be changed during the tournament barring force majeur. —  Jkudlick ⚓  (talk) 15:06, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
So, by that logic, we should delete UEFA Euro 2020 squads aswell, as their rules are the same? - J man708 ( talk) 02:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC) reply
No, the actual Euro 2020 tournament has defined squad lists for the tournament (23 players who are the only ones that can play). Qualifying tournaments don't have this, as you can choose 25 players for a squad for one set of matches, then a different combination for all the other matches.

  • This isn't an island, but a vingtaine. Indeed, given the 19th century subdivision it is half a vigntaine (presumably a dizaine ☺). The source cited very clearly got its information from the single real source on this subject, which is an article in volume 6 of the Bulletin of the Société Jersiaise. This has a family history with Raoul, Gillaume, and Genette Tourgis and the fief of Les Arbres. It's more than the article has. The only problem is that it's the only source, recycled and repeated several times over the past century and a bit. I'd like to have two. There's a translation from the original French of the Bulletin article at https://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php/Notes_on_the_origins_of_placenames along with a translator's note that the original article is possibly a bit dodgy. So I would really like to have two. Unless there are two, independent of James A. Messervy, which I for one cannot find, delete. Uncle G ( talk) 23:30, 8 March 2022 (UTC) reply

  • To KtMystic, to make a page keep-worthy in Wikipedia, it needs to have many coverage in secondary sources. Any information taken from its official website or its own social media (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc) is not counted towards notability (per WP:GNG). It needs to be well-written in those secondary sources, not only a simple mention, and it needs to be from multiple sources (per WP:GNG). Secondary sources is like online newspaper (e.g. The Star, Berita Harian, Malaysiakini etc). Any language of those secondary sources is acceptable (including non-English), as long as you translate the cited title into English if they are not in English per (per WP:GNG).

  • I reviewed the article and did not find it to have used promotional wording. Please provide information about how the article is promotional so I can address this through editing. Cunard ( talk) 11:08, 5 March 2022 (UTC) reply
Most of these sources only contain trivial mentions that aren't significant coverage, and aren't the main subject of a source. Just because it has been mentioned in articles, usually covering a different subject, doesn't mean it's notable. — Berrely •  Talk∕ Contribs 16:03, 5 March 2022 (UTC) reply
The sources in the "Additional sources (less significant coverage)" section provide less significant coverage about Uniform Map. The first six sources I listed provide significant coverage about Uniform Map as demonstrated by the quotes. Several of the articles are specifically about Uniform Map only and do not cover a different subject.

Wikipedia:Notability (web)#Criteria says:

Keeping in mind that all articles must conform with the policy on verifiability to reliable sources, and that non-independent and self-published sources alone are not sufficient to establish notability; web-specific content may be notable based on meeting one of the following criteria:

  1. The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations
The sources I provided demonstrate Uniform Map is "the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself".

  • Keep: Per the sources that Cunard added Just i yaya 01:54, 19 March 2022 (UTC) reply
    Was unable to review source 1 (I can't read Japanese)
    Source 2's reliability is questionable due to the Apple Daily RFC, though likely gives significant coverage
    Source 3 likely reliable (no discussion found) article gives significant coverage (contains 8 mentions of the subject)
    Source 4, 5 likely reliable per it's RSPS discussion, gives significant coverage.
    Source 6 likely reliable (no discussion found) although the article is quite short.
    Voted keep per WP:GNG and WP:WEBCRIT Just i yaya 02:03, 19 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete No in-depth coverage worth speaking for this most mediocre of subjects and of no historical or encyclopedic content. scope_creep Talk 13:32, 21 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete The references provided by Cunard are trivial at best, to not even about the topic at worst. None of them from what I can tell are at the level of direct, in-depth coverage of this that we need for it to be notable. At the most what is available justifies mentioning the website in the main School uniform article, but that's about it and I have serious doubts that is even worth doing. That said, I'd at least take it over keeping this just because there's a bunch of name drops about it in articles that are only slightly or not at all related to the website that this article pertains to. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 05:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: The assertion that Uniform Map is among the "most mediocre of subjects" may be true when compared to other subjects. But it is not a policy-based reason for deletion when many reliable sources consider Uniform Map worth covering. I found sources in China ( People's Daily), Japan ( Chugoku Shimbun), and Taiwan ( China Times). That international sources consider the Uniform Map website worth covering strongly establishes notability.

    I do not agree with the assertion that "The references provided by Cunard are trivial at best, to not even about the topic at worst". Each of the six sources I linked provide significant coverage about the subject. Here my analysis about the first three:

    1. The first source from People Daily is titled "Taiwanese uniform enthusiast website Uniform Map is a hot topic. More than 700 types posted." The article notes that the site was created by 35-year-old uniform enthusiast Masamasa Ouyo, who invested 20 years and 1 million Taiwanese dollars to purchase 700 types of uniforms from more than 300 high schools. It discusses how he got into collecting uniforms and how he had to obtain the girl uniforms through friends and auctions since he was a male. The article discusses how Chugoku Shimbun covered the website and quoted from China Times.
    2. The second source from Apple Daily is titled "'Uniform Map' Voting: Taipei Municipal Jingmei Girls High School's yellow shirt voted most beautiful." The article notes that Uniform Map is the first Taiwanese app where people can search for high school girl uniforms. The article discusses how the app works and how the app was launched on 6 June 2013. The article notes that the website was created by a "netizen in the information industry" and discusses why he created the website. The article notes that the website was accessed by 400,000 people on the day it launched. The article notes that the app was available on Android but not on iOS yet. The article lists the top four most voted uniforms. The article said that 256 schools were listed on the website in the day after the launch.
    3. The third source from China Times is titled: "For the first time in history, voting on the most popular uniform from Taiwan's 500 high schools". The article notes that Uniform Map co-organized a vote on which uniform is the most popular from Taiwan's 500 high schools. The article notes that the contest received over 100,000 votes and tens of millions of views. The article notes that Jiang Shunzhi is the founder of the website. On 1 May of the previous year, he decided to "combine high school uniforms and maps" which "immediately set off a uniform craze on the Internet".
    Uniform Map passes Wikipedia:Notability (web)#Criteria. Cunard ( talk) 09:00, 22 March 2022 (UTC) reply
Sure, a source that discusses how a dude got into collecting school uniforms is an in-depth significant coverage about the subject, right. I could be totally off here, but the last time I checked the article isn't about school uniform collecting. Let alone the app developers journey as a collector of them. Make an article about those subjects if you think they are notable, but neither uniform collector or the app developer is what this is about. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 12:08, 22 March 2022 (UTC) reply
The article discusses information about the creator's uniform collecting in the context of why the creator founded the website and how many uniforms were on the website in the first day of launch. This contributes to the source providing significant coverage about the website's origins and history. Cunard ( talk) 15:17, 22 March 2022 (UTC) reply
How exactly does the article do that? Literally all it does is name drop the app in the beginning and then discusses the dudes collection. Nowhere in the article from what I can tell does it connect his collection to how many were on the website on day launch day. Let alone does it give any history of the website's origins or whatever. significant or otherwise. Sure, the dude started it because he likes school uniforms, but that's literally all it says and there's nothing significant about that. Either way, I'd love to see a website that was created by someone who didn't have an interest in the subject. "I started bears.com because I like bears. Now let me tell you a story about why I think bears are the greatest animal ever." is the epitome of trivial, non-significant coverage. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 07:08, 23 March 2022 (UTC) reply

The result was delete. While redirects are cheap, delete !votes make a valid case for why it would not be appropriate to merge this. I am deleting, but there's no objection to a redirect if someone feels it's helpful to the reader. Star Mississippi 01:20, 24 March 2022 (UTC) reply

When biologists at Mountain Lake Biological Station in Virginia conduct their annual survey of plants in the genus Silene that grow along the roads in a certain local area, they record their data in 40-metre lengths of roadside, which are called psilons (likely a pun on the name of the genus). And that's what the article is about. It's kind of cute, and there's something very attractive in the idea that Wikipedia can serve as a catalogue of obscurity and whimsy, but we do have inclusion standards and this is very far from passing them. The only coverage I'm able to find is passing mentions in a couple of papers, with the most detailed treatment found in a 1995 paper by Thrall and Antonovics ( doi: 10.1139/b95-385), which has half a paragraph explaining why 40 meters is a convenient size for those surveys. I was thinking the article could be redirected somewhere ( Mountain Lake (Virginia)#Mountain Lake Biological Station?), but I don't think there's a way to work even the tiniest mention into the prose without giving it undue weight. – Uanfala (talk) 00:40, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Not enough to meet WP:CONTENTFORK or WP:SPINOUT in my opinion. This is simply content pasted from each model's lead.

We have Nintendo DS#Later models summarizing each model. We have Seventh generation of video game consoles#Handheld game console comparison with a concise table, as well as Nintendo video game consoles.

Also, I do not believe moving this table to Nintendo DS is appropriate. Seems like undue weight. That article should focus on the original model: Player interaction with games, sales, and reception. « Ryūkotsusei » 00:04, 16 March 2022 (UTC) reply
