Melcher finished last among those who competed in the hammer throw at the 1952 Olympics, thus fails WP:NOLYMPICS. No WP:SIGCOV is presented in the article as required by WP:SPORTBASIC. Also fails WP:GNG - no SIGCOV found. Cbl62 ( talk) 23:13, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply

You have provided no sourcing for this. Moreover, medaling at these regional games is not a basis for notability. Unless you can provide SIGCOV of Melcher, our notability guidelines require that this article either be deleted or redirected. Cbl62 ( talk) 03:35, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
Sourcing for the 1951 medal is here: - Enos733 ( talk) 17:46, 20 September 2022 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the link, User:Enos733. However, WP:SPORTBASIC mandates that we have SIGCOV present in the article for sports bios. The link is just a passing reference with this one sentence: "The last Chilean to take a medal in this event was Arturo Melcher, who took bronze in 1951." Without more, this should still be either deleted or redirected. Cbl62 ( talk) 18:04, 20 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Chile at the 1952 Summer Olympics? Cbl62 ( talk) 17:48, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply
or Athletics at the 1952 Summer Olympics – Men's hammer throw, as above. However, I think Eddie891 has a good point,so perhaps Athletics at the 1951 Pan American Games – Men's hammer throw is the best option. Ingratis ( talk) 09:18, 22 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • A search of various news databases only brings up a single line mention in Lexus Nexus in a Spanish article which suggests that someone with his name coached a younger pole vaulter. It's not sigcov, or even clear it is the same person. Eddie891 Talk Work 01:59, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - To be clear, I am suggesting we delete all five of the nominated articles. They are either dictionary definitions or translations of common words and phrases in English and amount to a dictionary definition. All of them were previously discussed at AfD and consensus was to transwiki them to wiktionary, but as that is no longer an option, the issue still remains of what to do with what's here on Wikipedia. I think the intent with the previous AfDs was that Wikipedia is not the appropriate place for these articles and that they should be moved to a more appropriate place. Being unable to move them to a more appropriate place does not remove the fact that Wikipedia is still not the appropriate place for these articles; that fact remains unchanged. Per WP:DICTDEF I think these should be deleted; I don't see these being able to be expanded upon in any meaningful way beyond what little is already there at each of these articles. Psychosophy has some content there but it's just "here's what the word means and here's some examples of the word being used by people" and does include this rather amusing error "The American teacher Scott Hamilton has trademarked the United States for his contemporary school of psychology" It's rather impressive that he was able to trademark the United States, but that doesn't indicate appropriateness for the term on Wikipedia. - Aoidh ( talk) 05:45, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply

I can't find enough significant, third-party coverage to establish notability for this company. There's lots of churnalism and press releases but very little of substance.

The app appears to have been defunct for a little while, though the founders recently pledged to get it back up and running. This doesn't impact notability but may be of relevance to those looking for sources. MarchOfTheGreyhounds ( talk) 14:00, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - What little I could find about this app and/or the company behind it is not reliable sourcing (the line between the app and the group behind the app is often blurred in sources such as this, which I want to stress is a contributor piece which wouldn't be a reliable source even if it wasn't written by Socialblood's founder, but it's non-independent anyways so the point is moot). Outside of database listings (usually pulling directly from app APIs with no context) and a sprinkle of funding mentions, there's no coverage of this application in reliable sources that are independent of the subject; it fails WP:GNG and WP:NSOFT. - Aoidh ( talk) 01:45, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Strong Delete. The current three trivial refs does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NFILM at all. BFI inclusion is a database, ref 2 mentions the film in a one short paragraph, almost all being quotes (no critical commentary), whereas ref 3 is a database entry on its box office, and even if that's high, fame isn't synonymous with notability. Currently, I strongly oppose keep. Responding to previous keep comments- The sourcing now is much better than it was and includes an article from two years after the film release- we have three refs, two are databases, and the "article" is a trivial mention. Notability per WP:GNG at least requires two or more significant, independent, reliable refs, this is obviously not met. Per Shshshsh's comment, [sources] added, including from one from India Today. The film was released in 2000, and sadly there isn't much information available from those days anyway, if that's indeed true, it supports that the film is not notable. WP:BEFORE search found a couple of books with one hit, not much else. Though, like previous AfDs, I'd wish that Shshshsh could find more refs and rescue the article, though, until then the keep comments assert that routine databases and trivial mentions meet any notability criteria, though, we might need to respectfully disagree, like previous AfDs, on whether this meets notability criteria. Many thanks again to the nom and Shshshsh in the attempts to rescue the article (even if I obviously disagree), and please ping me if more refs are found!

Individual does not appear to pass WP:NBIO. Loss of a local election, and semi-frequent TV appearances giving political opinions appears to be the extent of her notability.

  • Delete per nom. Appearing on Good Morning Britain once to talk about some personal beefs, and writing an opinion piece and being quoted for her opinion is not notable coverage. In college in 2022, the subject failed to win after running for president of her university's student union, which is also unremarkable coverage. Notability of the subject clearly has not been shown via sources that are mentions by the media and not extensive coverage. The Wiki page appears to be promotional.

  • Weak Delete agree with above, not much found beyond her giving an opinion on xyz subject. Nothing of substantial length about her as a person. This is about the best that mentions her, and it's a short few sentences [3]. The NZ Herald is a RS, [4] but it seems tangentially about her, more talking about a rejection letter she got.

  • Delete, including per AuthorAuthor and WP:PROMO, because reports about, e.g. her viral Tweet about a job rejection letter that included chicken puns, and her allegations of bullying, do not provide much independent depth to support WP:BASIC notability. The Guardian does not add much secondary context, e.g. "a maverick rightwinger with an already significant profile on GB News and talkRadio [...] A slip recently, where a separate account replied as if they were her, suggests that her online profile may be a group effort – not exactly a sockpuppet account, since she is definitely real; more of a sock chorus."

  • Comment: "not a dictionary" clearly does not apply in cases where the content far exceeds what would appear in Wiktionary. Whether there ought to be that much content is another matter, but this page has existed for eighteen years, and has over eight hundred edits during that time, some by experienced editors whose names I recognize. I would be very reluctant to conclude that the contents do not belong on Wikipedia. If the content looks like it's poorly connected, perhaps some of it should be split off or merged into other articles. If the remaining core of the article is too brief to justify an independent article, then deletion or merger may be appropriate. P Aculeius ( talk) 23:26, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
While I'm sympathetic to what you're saying, it doesn't seem like any of the sources (apart from dictionary sources) are actually discussing "meta" itself. Rather, the article is made up of sources about meta-this and meta-that. Without sources for the overall perspective, we're getting close to original research. Retinalsummer ( talk) 01:12, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
I might be wrong (and feel free to explain why you think so! I've been wrong before and would prefer not to be in the future!), but I'm pretty sure what you're saying here about the length of content is contradicted by the policy I quoted? - Here's the relevant section. And though I think there is certainly content on the page that could belong in other places (and may or may not be there already), I don't think the length of time an article has existed or who has edited it have any influence on whether or not a page is appropriate - I certainly don't think "hey, is this even a single article or a WP:CHIMERA" on every article I edit and would not expect others to do so. But this article was on the backlog of articles that have never been assessed for importance by WikiProject Philosophy after the template was added, I'm not surprised to have found a few (much less than 1% of them) are dictionary entries or other non-encyclopedic topics that fell through the cracks. - car chasm ( talk) 01:24, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
I don't think that we're talking about simple length—the explanation at "Not a Dictionary" refers to numerous things that might naturally occur in a dictionary entry. This article contains a lot of discussion that wouldn't be found in Wiktionary. The more applicable subtopic of the policy might be WP:WORDISSUBJECT. However, I agree that this article looks a bit like a chimaera and should probably be split and merged into multiple articles. Whether there's anything left at the end is another matter—but the simple fact that this article has been around for as long as it has, and received as many edits as it has over that time, while not proving that it ought to be kept, does argue that we ought to think very carefully about whether there is something that could be salvaged as an article—or whether this should be redirected to the disambiguation page, which would at least preserve its very considerable history.

Agreed, to the extent that the article seems to discuss several notable topics—but as Carchasm points out, it's a bit of a chimaera, and perhaps its content would be better split and merged among multiple articles.

    Writing? Not any more than we write text around RS'es attestation in any other field.

Jclemens ( talk) 19:49, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    I'd recommend looking at WP:NOTDICT again - the project you're describing, "collecting usages of this term by notable people" is explained in the sections Not Size and Wikipedia is not a usage guide. If, on the other hand, you can point to reliable sources that collect usages of this term by notable people, analyze them, and provide a synthesis, those would constitute secondary sources. As a tertiary source, Wikipedia would then be able to cite those secondary sources as they would constitute significant coverage of the topic. If no such secondary sources exist, then wikipedia should not have an article on this. - car chasm ( talk) 20:10, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply

    I did do a bit more than a quick perusal - there are a few articles that use the idiom in their title or subtitle (as it is a common idiom), an article that is a copy of this wikipedia page, and one single article from 2010 that uses the idiom in its title and includes a brief discussion of the idiom itself for one paragraph.

    There's a bit of a description in there. The distinction exists, however, between the poem's notability and the quote's notability. As it stands, this article seems like someone went looking for trivial usages of the phrase, many of them from non-notable people, and then compiled them into a Wikiquote article...on Wikipedia.

Has been a stats stub for over 14 years and, despite playing a game for one of the biggest clubs in Albania, I can't find any significant coverage.

This is just weird... it's an article that was started with a reference to a Yemeni university, that is still right there in place, but was then embellished with meta information about the Caribbean island. There is a single university on the latter, so there is no apparent point to a single-item list. The Yemen institution in turn doesn't have an article, and its name has pointed to the island's institution since 2009. I don't know how this would be salvaged in a meaningful way.

  • Weak keep. The nominator failed to provide the analysis of the "single source", which seems pretty solid - a book chapter that contains dedicated discussion of the character in question. The book chapter's focus on the character is evident in the very title of the chapter ("Tony Hillerman's Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee"), although admittedly, the chapter title was not included in the reference in the article. Still, the nominator likewise gave no indication of carrying out WP:BEFORE, and if we have an academic, in-depth book chapter, the odds are decent this is notable and one more source can be found (and, surprise, suprise, a one second glance at GScholar results does indeed confirm that yes, he is almost certainly notable, appearing in titles of several works there). Per BEFORE, the nominator should carry out a search and tell us whether they found no other source, or why sources that appear in GScholar and like are inadequate, and why the current (very solid at first glance) is not sufficient. Lastly, a redirect would be much better here then outright deletion, given the existing source. Final note: assuming this is kept, the 90% plot summary that constituts the article should be summarized/shortened or just deleted. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:35, 11 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: An article on a manufacturing company, whose website disappeared after June 2017, though I am not finding any associated takeover or liquidation coverage. The article largely consists of something like a catalogue listing of their products; the keep arguments in the 2009 AfD are not persuasive (including the link to a routine commercial announcement); fails WP:NCORP.

  • Delete - Fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. There's no coverage, and regarding the prior AfD, however ubiquitous their machines may have been is just a big number, not an assertion of notability.

This is a minor, non-notable actor, with WP:GNG obviously failed. The current refs are obviously routine, more are from Times of India, a situational ref on WP:RSP. Yes, he was a lead role for a web series with a WP article, but that article, Thera Para, has been AfDed with the result of merging, so it fails the NBIO criteria The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. There are also trivial mentions in other RS, 1, 2 on cast details, but they are not SIGCOV at all, and this fails WP:GNG or WP:NBIO IMO. VickKiang 05:33, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Prod removed with the summary "Article has sources and information". The information is about the location of a former highway rest stop. The sources 4 or 5 describe the rest stop in the area yet neither even mentions a "State Road". 2 and 6 are just maps that mark the location, but neither these nor my search results indicate that this location is a community, notable or not.

  • Keep - While it may not be a cohesive community, this is an important location from a transportation standpoint. As mentioned in the article, State Road was formerly an important rest stop on the intercity bus network and also formerly had a train station along what is now a freight-only railroad line. In addition, State Road is an important highway junction. It is currently at the junction of US 13 and US 40 and the location formerly served as the southern terminus of US 202 and the northern terminus of US 301. The construction of I-95 and the relocation of intercity bus service to Wilmington have diminished the transportation importance of State Road but historic importance still matters. Dough 4872 13:39, 3 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    So the article needs to be renamed and totally reworked. "State Road is an unincorporated community", the use of Infobox Settlement, its navbox, and categories are all wrong. Neither rest stops nor highway junctions are typically notable topics. "Important highway junction" is awfully subjective with thousands of them in the country!

  • Sadly, I'll have to go with delete. The only substantial discussion of Clemente's (which everyone who rode Greyhound or Trailways through the area from the fifties through the eighties is too well aware of) I could find was this blog post, which begins by saying "One piece of transportation history that seems to be in the process of being completely forgotten is the Clemente Travel Center, also known as “State Road” in New Castle, Delaware." He also describes the latter as a "locale", which is more in my experience: there has never been a settlement around it. I could find no corroboration of the place as a settlement, and while there's probably an Arcadia book somewhere that talks about Clemente's, searching didn't immediately turn one up. Mangoe ( talk) 04:40, 5 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - An idea might be to merge the information about the bus rest stop in State Road to the transportation section of the New Castle, Delaware article, since it is the nearest town and mailing address for the State Road area despite the fact it’s outside the corporate limits. Dough 4872 21:50, 5 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - Found this news feature on Clemente Travel Center, which describes it as being "at State Road": Stewart, Ann (July 28, 1987). "Boss still buses tables at bus terminal". The Morning News. Vol. 108, no. 105. pp. B7–B8. part 2. Another article on the fate of the building from the same paper here. Social notices from 1921 editions of a paper reference a "State Road Community Club" and numerous people living "at State Road" in the vicinity of New Castle. This references another club, and this references a "State Road Chapel". This suggests the State Road Community Club was founded in 1921, and mentions a "State Road school". There was also a State Road Community Hall. This article discusses state police revamping their radio antennae in the locale. There was clearly more here than just the travel center, but if it's notable, I don't know. - Indy beetle ( talk) 05:51, 7 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Seven Days (magazine)

Article on magazine that does not satisfy magazine notability or general notability. Created in article space, then moved to draft space by User:Hey man im josh as not ready for article space. Then created again in article space by originator. The draft has now, reasonably, been cut down to a redirect to the article, but the article does not establish notability.

A check of the references shows that none of them provide significant coverage of the magazine. One is a passing mention. One is an upload of a page from the magazine to Commons. One is a lengthy report that does not appear to be related.

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
1 againstthecurrent.org Obituary-tribute to Dave Dellinger Yes No, passing mention of magazine Yes No
2 Wikimedia Commons Photograph of masthead of magazine No No No, circular reference No
3 iranhrdc.org A 2006 report, of no obvious connection to the subject Yes No, no obvious connection Yes No

Draftification, with instructions to use the AFC review process, is a reasonable alternative to deletion, but the originator has already disagreed with that option. Robert McClenon ( talk) 04:00, 3 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • I am trying to fix an error on Wikipedia. There is a newspaper in Vermont called Seven Days, established in 1995. Many of the people who worked for Seven Days, the magazine that appeared from 1977 to 1979, inaccurately had links to that newspaper as there was no Wikipedia entry. The magazine masthead had a who's who of prominent socialists from the 1970s, many of who have Wikipedia entries. It was founded by David Dellinger of the Chicago Seven. I am merely trying to correct the misimpression left on the site that they worked for the Vermont newspaper. I admit there is not much online material that could quickly be found on Seven Days the magazine -- I noticed the error while reading the Wikipedia entry for Barbara Ehrenreich after she died this week. I hope to find more references and sources to build up the entry but in the meantime Wikipedia should not have incorrect links, should it? Thank you for your consideration. Congha2540 ( talk) 17:00, 3 September 2022 (UTC) reply

    Re the third reference, that was a famous interview, a big scoop, published by Seven Days. The reference to the interview appears on page 20 of the report with a citation to the magazine. Congha2540 ( talk) 17:01, 3 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to David Dellinger, whom sources most often seem to mention as the founder and editor of the magazine. [1] [2] [3] The poor state of sourcing presently in the article ( primary sources and passing mentions) do not count towards notability, but current sourcing is not a criterion for deletion per WP:NEXIST. While the magazine appears to have had notable writers and editors, after searching newspaper archives and the Internet Archive I have yet to find significant coverage of the magazine itself that can't be easily added to an existing article or two as needed. A couple sentences—a paragraph at most—at David Dellinger is probably sufficient. Individual noteworthy accomplishments by contributors might be better presented at the authors' articles. Wikilinks to non-notable publications might simply be omitted, with the magazine explained in text if necessary (humans were able to read information just fine for centuries before the invention of hyperlinks). Searching for coverage of the magazine is hampered by its commonplace title, but for future reference it is also known as Sevendays and Seven Days Magazine. --Animalparty! ( talk) 20:27, 3 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Given the repeated confusion between this publication and the existing Seven Days newspaper, doesn't it make since to have a separate entry, even if it was limited? I'm not sure a redirect to David Dellinger would necessarily sold that problem and it could easily be missed by people. Seven Days was supposed to be a competitor to In These Times which still exists and has a Wikipedia page. In the pre-Internet age, there would not have been much coverage in mainstream media of socialist publications; now such a publication would gain notice with an active Twitter account. Given how Seven Days was a launching pad for many notable people, I would still argue it deserves an entry. I have been traveling but hope to build this up further. Congha2540 ( talk) 19:29, 6 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • The potential for confusion with other publications is not a notability guideline. If a topic lacks significant coverage from multiple reliable sources, whether currently or in pre-internet times, then per general notability guidelines a stand-alone article is unwarranted. If other articles incorrectly link to Seven Days (newspaper), they can simply be unlinked and defined in context, e.g. "Joe Blow wrote for the short-lived socialist magazine Seven Days in the 1970s." Or, if Seven Days (magazine) becomes a redirect (e.g. {{ R from work}}), the link will still work, and a sentence or two at the target article will give necessary context. For what it's worth, I found a somewhat more than trivial mention in a 1977 issue of Working Papers for a New Society (another short-lived leftist publication), but that alone doesn't demonstrate independent notability, and again I think any encyclopedic content can easily be distilled into an existing article, or simply mentioned in text. --Animalparty!

  • I added a paragraph detailing how Seven Days published an article on the technology of hydrogen bomb, forcing the government to abandon its prior restraint case against The Progressive magazine.

  • I don't think the recent additions are improvements, or any closer to demonstrating notability. It doesn't matter one bit how much we as editors think a subject should have it's own article. The Washington Post reprinting a portion of a Seven Days article is largely a Primary source and does not alone demonstrate the significance of the article in the broader Progressive lawsuit. Tying together disparate passing mentions and primary sources and synthesizing or inferring significance (e.g. implying that Seven Days was instrumental in United States v. Progressive Inc. when sources like this do not make the claim) risks original research, or at the very least, giving undue coverage to things before their time (if you were to write an article on the significance of Seven Days and get it published elsewhere, that would then provide a significant secondary source that an encyclopedia could summarize). We as Wikipedians cannot connect the dots that haven't already been connected, or tell stories that haven't been told. As an analogy, imagine a local news reporter or radio announcer in your hometown. The whole city may know their name, maybe they've written some popular or controversial articles and occasionally get quoted in national news. Evidence of their education, family members, and life events might be found in local newspaper clippings. All of this may be verifiable in reliable sources, and perhaps additional biographic info could be gleaned from public records, their Twitter feed, or digging through their trash, but when stung together does not demonstrate the subject has received significant secondary attention. An article can't just be a list of articles that have appeared in the magazine, nor a list of writers. I'm not against draftification, as there certainly is a possibility that substantial coverage exists somewhere, but a redirect would also allow for future expansion should sufficient sources be found. --Animalparty! ( talk) 05:49, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Okay, fair point re the connection to the dropping of the Progressive case. The article cited the publication of articles in newspapers and I should not have assumed that the Washington Post article was one of those cited. Upon conducting more research, I see that the H-bomb article, intended to be satire, was later picked up by would-be terrorists and then CIA used their access to the article to justify the success of the torture program. I don't think this story can be adequately covered in a redirect to Dave Dellinger --since he did not write the article in question -- and I remain puzzled at the reluctance to accept an entry on this publication.

  • Redirect to David Dellinger as suggested above; I agree that the current sources do not demonstrate notability, but I think this redirect could be useful. Hatman31 ( talk) 17:16, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • I am hoping the additional detail on how the H-bomb article (not written by Dellinger) became a factor in Gitmo detentions convinces you that this entry meets notability requirements. Congha2540 ( talk) 16:05, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • I don't think that was enough on its own, but that combined with the additions by Cielquiparle makes me think there's enough coverage to keep the article. Hatman31 ( talk) 17:36, 22 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • If there is noteworthy content regarding a single article (e.g. the H-bomb article), it can be mentioned at Binyam Mohamed or José Padilla (criminal). We don't need a whole article just to coat-rack individual articles that have a passing mention of the name "Seven Days". What I see here is the equivalent of taping newspaper scraps to a wall and calling it comprehensive coverage. As another example: say there is an elementary school in a notable town that has several notable alumni, but no reliable source has ever significantly covered the school (maybe it closed long ago, or was so unremarkable that it never got significant coverage). To scrape together an article that says little more than "X was an elementary school. In 19XX Joe Athlete attended. In 19XX Fred Business Mogul was a substitute teacher there. In 19XX Jane Hollywood attended, and in a 2005 interview said "I had great teachers there". In 19XX it appeared in the background of a fast food commercial by [notable company]. In 19XX it was one of 2 dozen county schools fumigated for termites." is what is called a WP:COATRACK article (the notable alumni or tangential events are the coats). An encyclopedia article should not resemble a scrapbook or bulletin board of loosely related facts. Encyclopedia articles on magazines should not be mere lists of articles or authors, but of course the magazine can be mentioned in other articles as necessary, wikilinks or no. And adding section dividers or textual padding doesn't make a subject any more notable. --Animalparty! ( talk) 21:44, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. OK to keep now. Single best in-depth source identified by Congha2540 was the 1977 Working Papers for a New Society article. To satisfy WP:GNG, would also point to 1976 article in The Los Angeles Times and the 1 979 Herald News article on Seven Days's role in the H-bomb parody article controversy (a topic which could probably justify having its own separate page with more detail). (The 1977 article in The New York Daily News is also helpful but strictly speaking it is mostly interview-driven (i.e., largely based on quotes from Dellinger and "according to Dellinger"), so not as helpful from an independence point of view. Several problematic sources (e.g. Daily Mail and NameBase) have been removed by multiple editors, and blatant copyvio passages (e.g. cut-and-paste from Washington Post and Guardian) have been removed. Yes, it feels like we're still missing some key sources for this article, particularly from books, but for now this is sufficient to keep the article, and in the meantime I might add a few more "passing mention" type sources with important details so I wanted to pause to point to the more substantive pieces of coverage. Cielquiparle ( talk) 11:25, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • I greatly appreciate the extensive editing and additional sources you have added. The entry is much improved. Thank you. I wonder why you removed all references to the H-bomb article becoming a factor in detention of alleged terrorists. It would seem relevant that the government took this seriously. If I erred in quoting from articles, it could at least be summarized, correct? Congha2540 ( talk) 11:58, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • Too much detail for a Wikipedia article about Seven Days magazine which appears to have closed by 1980. The actual H-bomb article controversy including its possible impact decades later is a huge topic that might warrant its own standalone article in the future, but it's too much detail in the context of this one. The magazine published hundreds of other important articles besides this. Cielquiparle ( talk) 12:20, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
        • OK, on second thought – a single sentence summarizing the fact that it caused everyone to mention the article and the magazine again decades later seems reasonable. But I also wouldn't overdo it. Cielquiparle ( talk) 12:31, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep following improvements. Mccapra ( talk) 09:36, 22 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect, per User:Animalparty. Coverage right now, including of the H-bomb stuff, is just not in-depth enough, and/or specifically focused on the subject. I'm a huge fan of us having all possible articles on publications--magazines, newspapers, journals, etc--but it's not here for this article. User:Congha2540, this just isn't helpful: it looks like you're beefing up the article hoping that sheer mass will lead to it being kept, but this had no secondary sourcing and doesn't prove anything. User:Mccapra, I don't see the improvements you're seeing--what sourcing took it over the hump? Drmies ( talk) 17:46, 23 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • I am confused why a primary source is not acceptable. The printing of the full Barbara Walters interview was important at the time but I have not had a chance yet to dig into the newspaper archive to see how much was written about it. Several people have improved on this entry and I am puzzled why a redirect to Dellinger would be considered preferable given the consistent confusion between this magazine and the existing Seven Days newspaper in Wikipedia. Congha2540 ( talk) 18:14, 23 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • Congha2540, what? We work by way of secondary sources. If we didn't, you might as well summarize every story ever published in the magazine. Your "was important at the time" needs secondary sourcing, but that seems obvious to me. And that "confusion", you brought that up a number of times, but it makes no sense to me. If there were links to the wrong article, we correct that. That's all. So I'm not convinced there's "consistent confusion", and if there is, the solution is not to write another article but to correct the erroneous links.

  • Additional coverage. If anyone wasn't quite persuaded by the three articles I mentioned perviously (Working Papers for a New Society, Los Angeles Times, Herald News), I've finally found "review" type articles assessing the magazine itself. Now cited within the article are a widely syndicated review by Tom Collins of Newsday in New York, and a very large feature and review by Alan Finder of The Record in New Jersey ( "Will it shake the world?"

A non-notable computer operating system that does not pass the WP:GNG. None of the sources included in the article are viable, largely just being links to the creator's long dead website, and searches brought up no coverage at all in reliable sources. It seems to have already been deleted once via AFD way back in 2005 (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whitix), but was re-created several years later and has sat here ever since. It could potentially be speeded under criteria G4, but since I have no way of knowing if this version is, in fact, sufficiently identical to the deleted version, I figured I should bring it here instead.

Band that does not satisfy musical notability or general notability. A check of the references shows that they are mostly trade rags, except for reference 2 in the New York Times and references 3 and 10 in Billboard magazine, which should be reliable sources, but they are not verifiable because they are set up using Proquest, which is a paywalling service. So there is no verifiable significant coverage as of 10 September 2022.

    Hi DareshMohan Sir , It is a good thing if there is a consensus. There is information in these three sources in this way, Senior Editor, you decide whether to keep it or delete. The Indian Express >The film was The Gang. During the shoot, at Kochi, Vani suddenly panicked about whether she would get paid. So she sent a message to Baburaj, who was the producer. Immediately, he provided the payment. But that same evening, Baburaj called Vani and said, “I need some money urgently. So can you give it back? I promise that I will pay it tomorrow morning.” Mathrubhumi >My first action movie was director Baburaj’s “The Gang.” However, my role in movie ‘Independence’ was more appreciated. Babuvettan used to tell that Vani is ready to do anything once the director says ‘action.’That was true. ‘Start-Action-Camera’ was like a mantra to me. Once it says ‘action’, I was ready to do all types of acrobatics and smash the doors and glasses. This had also created a lot of trouble to me. I had met with numerous accidents during film shootings. Now, when I think of doing action roles, I start to worry about my children. Even a slight pain in the knee makes me nervous Screen (magazine)>The Gang - William' crime-thriller, CINEMATOGRAPHER J Williams has directed a film in Malayalam titled The Gang, an investigative thriller set against the backdrop of the popular beach resort, Kovalam. A drug racket run by a foreigner on the beach with the help of locals and a coast guard forms the crux of the film. Vani Viswanath, Suvarna, Steffi and a hoard of villains form the cast of the film. Being made under the banner of Cochin Films, Baburaj has penned the film. PravinGanechari ( talk) 23:27, 26 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Feels weird to paste all the content here, but it is okay I guess. The New Indian Express source also included this at the beginning: One day, in October, 1998, Vani Viswanath got a call at her home in Chennai. The director J Williams wanted to come and narrate a story. Vani said yes. But when Williams arrived, he was accompanied by Mollywood villain Baburaj. Vani assumed that Williams would be narrating the story, but it turned out to be Baburaj who had written the script. Vani thought to herself, ‘Does he have the capacity to narrate a story?’ But Vani got a surprise. “When he began speaking, I stopped listening to the story and was taken up by the way he was talking, the gestures he was making, and the smile on his face,” says Vani. “He was speaking in a much better way than most scriptwriters. I decided to say yes, just because of the way Baburaj was telling the story.” DareshMohan ( talk) 23:32, 26 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Lynn Nickell published a book about Gilley, gaining notice in Kentucky media sources.

    > In 2012, local Kentucky historian W. Lynn Nickell published a book about Gilley,
    Then why haven't you used it as a source? You have two sources: Flippo's unsourced comments, which have been strongly criticized, and a TV show based upon Nickell's promotional efforts for his self-published book. Every other source parrots and/or promotes the TV show. Not one of the other sources are independent, and most are nothing but churnalism, including the link you provided.

Per WP:USINGSPS, "self-published" does not mean "independent"; this whole debate would only be relevant if this were an article about W. Lynn Nickell, which it is not.

    As for the reliability of the source, WP:USINGSPS also goes on to say that self-published sources are acceptable "if the author is an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications." Nickell's position as county historian establishes himself as an expert and one likely to do due diligence in terms of research and fact-checking, or at the very least be presumed to do without evidence to the contrary. As for the latter point, it appears that it has (there are also several news articles in which he is cited/quoted in his capacity as historian).

    • I don't know what your link is trying to prove. No one is disputing that his books are self-published. The sources I presented, however, are not those books. The first source is scholarly research by Robert M. Rennick at Morehead State University that cites Nickell as a subject-matter expert; the second is a book by William E. Ellis from the University Press of Kentucky that does the same. If someone's work as a historian has been deemed reliable not only by major music publications but by multiple major universities, I am inclined to agree with the publications and universities, as is Wikipedia policy. (The exception would be if Gilley were alive, in which case the stricter WP:BLP guidelines would kick in; however, he has not been alive for some time.) Gnomingstuff ( talk) 03:50, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • I don't know how Nickell qualifies as an expert on the subject matter at hand; the TV show he uses to promote his book and the idea that Gilley was a secret writer of Hank Williams hits (Nickell even includes Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart" on the cover, a claim the article doesn't take up for some reason) is full of easily-proved errors about Gilley and withholds information by using cropped newspaper articles.

          Nickell was a high school basketball coach. I'm sure he was a very nice man, but he was an amateur historian.

There are no extraordinary claims regarding whether Gilley is notable, whether Wikipedia should delete his biography. He's been discussed by a bunch of sources. The Nickell book simply needs to exist for it to have some bearing on Gilley's notability. None of the media have said that Nickell's scholarship is flawed. He's considered an expert on the topic. Binksternet ( talk) 17:00, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
The claim that Gilley secretly wrote hit songs for Williams and other singers in the face of the testimony of multiple eyewitnesses to the contrary is certainly an extraordinary claim, and one that is not generally accepted by musuc scholars.

  • Delete Gilley's entire claim to notability is based on his own statements. While a couple sources have repeated his claims, they are not apparently supported by any evidence beyond Gilley's own statements. All documentary evidence that may have supported the claims were destroyed. This does not mean that Gilley was necessarily wrong, but his claims in several instances are refuted by other witnesses describing how songs Gilley claims he wrote were actually written by others. Gilley as an original source is unreliable, which means that any claims he made that are the basis of these other books is similarly unreliable. If the article is to remain, it should be cast as a description of unverified and unverifiable claims by Gilley, since no other sources exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bomagosh ( talkcontribs) 12:53, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • First of all, if someone self-published a book, and that book is the source for our article, and the author of that book has a reputation or sales riding on the book, then one can argue that the sources are indeed dependent on the subject (or the subject's reputation), whether the subject is alive or dead. Raise your hand if you bought the book after reading this article--no hands? But in principle it's possible.

    Anyway, for that argument to be a proper argument for deletion, it would have to be argued that the book itself is not acceptable as a reliable secondary source (because it's still secondary, despite any COI), and I have not seen that argument here. Tom Reedy takes a stab at that, with the comment on cropped newspaper articles, and there are interesting comments on the talk page, but that quickly gets bogged down in the particulars of some numbering issue of a student publication. That that matter is neither here nor there seems, from my perspective, to be handled deftly by Binksternet, whose list of sources discussing the matter is not challenged by any one else (and the American Songwriter article is not just based on Gilley). Bomagosh makes a valid point regarding reliability--but I don't see proof there of unreliability, or a specific argument.

    I'm going with keep--even without Gilley, there's sourcing here. Oh, I got pinged (thank you Tom) because I reverted someone years ago who removed a bunch of material: that was me reverting a disruptive editor; I certainly didn't have much of an opinion on article content.

    But the question is the source of the information. If all the articles say no more than "Gilley says he wrote these songs," but there's no evidence supporting his claim, and he seems to have a track record of claiming credit for songs for which there's reliable evidence that he did not write them, there is a big problem of reliability. If the sources are merely repeating his own claims, and the article remains on WP, it needs to be edited to not claim anything beyond what the sources support -- that Gilley CLAIMED to have written the songs. That's not nothing, but it's not much. Gilley's claims might be better reflected as a note in the questionable song descriptions, to better reflect Gilley's notability. Bomagosh ( talk) 01:11, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
I don't see any reliable sources questioning Paul Gilley's "track record" or reliability. On the contrary, the people who knew him were all in agreement that he was very reliable, upright and honest.

  • Keep While most of the individual sources are themselves minimal, the amount of them clearly shows the impact of this person's life in a popular music genre. Wikipedia needs more articles like this, not less - especially about people whose life and accomplishments pre-date the internet. In today's media environment this man would be as documented as Max Martin, at least for the few years he was active. Because of the ephemeral nature of sources, they tend to become more obscure, more disorganized, and harder to find the further we get in the future; the energy taken to write an article for this man, now, does more for future historians than adding more irrelevant sentences about easy to document modern things. Wikipedia has essays on recentism that discuss taking a 10 year POV and wondering if it is worth writing. In this case, we are already looking backwards 65 years, and very much so, this was worth writing and worth keeping. To the authors: a sincere thank you for the efforts.

Mentioning the claim in passing validates the claim just enough that Wikipedia becomes interested.

University Press of Mississippi. ISBN  9781578062836. Number two is The Hank Williams Reader (2014). Oxford University Press.

I got a feeling this is gonna have to be straightened out on the WP:RS noticeboard before this is all over with. Mentioning that somebody said something without discussing it isn't an independent source. Most of the books you have listed are reliable sources for the life of Hank Williams, but not for the songwriting career of Paul Gilley. Simply being mentioned in passing in a source that is deemed reliable is not sufficient enough to satisfy notability thresholds. Tom Reedy ( talk) 16:41, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply

    I have to admit that it is my own research that has led me to think that Gilley is a fraud, but that isn't why I nominated the article for deletion.

  • Comment The following from The Journal Record does seem to be significant coverage from an out-of-city source: "After Jim Bausch’s company transferred him to the Tulsa area, he saw an opportunity in a growing market to open a new restaurant in Owasso. He called his brother, Mike, who had just finished law school in California, and his parents, and they all relocated to Owasso, to open the original Andolini’s in 2004. Opening the restaurant was a chance for the family to work together for the first time. Within Andolini’s first year, the restaurant expanded to double its capacity to meet the demand. In 2007, John Davey, Mike’s longtime friend who had experience in the restaurant industry, joined the company as a co-owner." — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mello hi!

The one national paper, USA Today, compiled their "best" list using Trip Advisor ratings! That's hardly an major award bestowed by industry or professional peers.

Could not find any sourcing whatsoever despite cursory blog-type posts almost certainly scraped from Wikipedia, as they use the same language. Most of the article, including the image, was created by one user who, around the same time, created a dubious related article that was speedy deleted per WP:G1: "This page will allow you to create the amazing things known as andrews appletinis...."

  • Keep for now. I very strongly suspect that looking for sources about a Cezch locomotive classification system used only until the 1980s using only Google in English is a fools errand. Any sources about this (which isn't like any essay I've ever seen, and seems directly equivalent to systems like DRG locomotive classification and Whyte notation, which just happen to be better documented in English) will almost certainly be offline and in Czech. Unless and until someone has attempted to find sources in the place those sources are likely to be then we simply cannot fairly judge the notability of the topic. Thryduulf ( talk) 10:02, 4 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: We absolutely can "judge" on a dead link only and an unproductive search. In the Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability" section (D-#1, #2, and #3) it seems pretty clear on "due diligence" of a search. I am awed that some editors believe we can keep any article on the concept that surely there "might" be sources out there "somewhere" in the universe, so we need to wait until someone finds them. If we could do away with the silly notability criteria, of course adding Verifiability and What Wikipedia is not, we could do away with AFD also.

      • I'm not arguing that we need to wait until someone finds sources, that would indeed by silly. What I'm arguing is that we should keep things that are both harmless and plausibly notable until someone has meaningfully attempted to find sources in the place they are most likely to exist. In this case that would be circa 1930s-1980s Czech-language sources that would plausibly write about technical aspects of railways. Declaring that sources definitely do not exist because they weren't found by searching Google in English is as ridiculous as declaring the Tuskegee Railroad non-notable because there are no immediately accessible online sources about it in Czech. Thryduulf ( talk) 10:59, 5 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • leaning delete It would be easy enough to source any given railroad's locomotive classification system; the question is whether we need separate articles on each of them. Every fan of the respective railroad knows that a K is 4-6-2 on the Pennsy, and a Q is a 2-8-2 on the B&O, and a Y is a 2-8-8-4 on the N&W, but are these systems notable in themselves? At best it seems to me that a section in the railroad's article is all that's required, if that. Mangoe ( talk) 14:23, 5 September 2022 (UTC) reply

    How do you propose I look for Czech sources, considering I don't speak a word of the language? There's doing a reasonable BEFORE search, and then there's unreasonable demands. Should I try to look for sources in every language before I nominate anything for AfD? If we can't find even a single source in English about the subject, what are we supposed to do? It would be great if a Czech speaker helped out, but I don't happen to know any. Again, this fails WP:V, and that's not just about Mangoe's rationale, that's about whether this content should exist on Wikipedia at all. We don't violate policies just because we feel like something is notable, if there's no proof of its existence. Doing otherwise is how we end up with hoaxes in mainspace that last for years. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 20:45, 6 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ Trainsandotherthings you are demanding other editors find sources, on a deadline if your choosing, so why object when others ask you to put some effort in first? It is perfectly reasonable to ask someone to look for sources in the native language as part of a BEFORE search, or at least reach out to speakers of that language and ask them - did you do that? You could ask at, e.g. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Czech Republic, or an editor in category:User cs, or maybe someone at Talk:Rail transport in the Czech Republic, or possibly somewhere on the Czech Wikipedia. It seems that you have assumed that because there is nothing in English on Google that it's entirely unverifiable and insist that other editors prove you wrong without having made any serious effort to determine verifiability or notability yourself - that is not reasonable behaviour.
    If a topic is contemporary, of broad interest and an English language speaking area then it's reasonable to assume that if there is nothing on Google in English then it's not verifiable (even though it isn't always true), however the further you get away from that the less reasonable the assumption becomes - when the topic is a niche subject that ceased to be current in the 1980s when the country was behind the iron curtain it's not at all a reasonable assumption to make. WP:BEFORE requires you to make a reasonable effort to find sources, and part of that is looking where sources are most likely to exist. If you've tried and failed, then document that, but if you don't try then don't act surprised when others call you out - particularly when a not insignificant proportion of your effort on the project is put in to deleting the work of others.

    As part of NPP, I AfD a lot of things. And when I remove unsourced material from articles, I am improving the encyclopedia, and WP:BURDEN fully backs my doing so. Call me a deletionist if you'd like to, but these activities are a necessary part of maintaining the encyclopedia. And no new page reviewer would approve this article. Furthermore, you should be well aware that I spend a significant amount of time creating new content - I just had a TFA the other day, and my content creations are publicly visible on my userpage. Your smears are both hurtful and false. If you're so damn sure it's notable, how about finding even a single example of coverage? I conducted a reasonable, good faith BEFORE search. You are making ridiculous demands of patrollers. There's over 10,000 articles in the NPP backlog - if we all did as you seem to expect, nothing would ever get reviewed.

  • Before: I will not argue that a new page, without any egregious problems and with some presumption of notability, should be given latitude. It looks like this article was created July 2, 2006. It seems that is a lot of latitude. The criterion for searching for sources, to advance notability as a deciding factor for an article, I don't think is vague. Nominating article(s) for deletion gives some guidance. subsection B, subsection C-#1: Can any sources be found so we edit the article? Subsection D: 1 (minimum search), 2 (The Wikipedia Library), and 3 (completed basic due diligence). With only 13 edits from June 2006 until March 2008 I don't see enough to give credit that there is no plagiarism or copyright violations. The editor created the unsourced 471, ČD Class 471 and ČSD Class T 478.4 both with one inline citation, and I can only assume so much good faith. The subject may very well be notable but for an article to be created there has to be some degree of following policies and guidelines. Wikipedia:Verifiability (policy): In the English Wikipedia, verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. It seems arguing "Keep" with a weak rational is equivalent to stating "I firmly believe this article is notable.", which is among "Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions". -- Otr500 ( talk) 05:53, 14 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Does not pass WP:GNG. The previous AfD found the story written by Lisa Monforton published in the Calgary Herald, The Telegram, and The Western Star. They also found the article was republished by The National Post, but I can't find a working archive of the link. Regardless, these only count as a single source. They also found a source from travelguide.qutravel, but as far as I can tell the link is permanently dead and the user who found it said it was a "weaker" source. The page has had a citations needed tag since 2010 and concerns that the article was promotional with potential COI issues were noted on the talk page. There are some claims in the article itself that the show has been featured on National Geographic, Groove Korea, and Lonely Planet but there are no citations to verify the claims. The claim also seems to indicate that Lonely Planet only mentions the show, which makes me doubt whether it would be an in depth source assuming it even exists. If someone is able to find these sources to verify their existence and can either provide a link to a digital copy or vouch for the reliability and depth of coverage in a physical copy I'd be willing to retract my nomination, but as it stands I don't see how an unverified claim that the subject received news coverage denotes notability.

    It testifies to the fact that Dandelion crater was to be an Apollo 15 mission-visited crater.

This further establishes an Apollo era notability for this crater. Randy Kryn ( talk) 03:06, 11 September 2022 (UTC) reply
No it doesn't, as there is still no significant coverage for the crater itself, only an extremely brief passing mention. As being part of a manned space exploration mission plan, or indeed actually being visited by Astronauts, is not one of the criteria outlined in WP:NASTCRIT, then that specific fact is irrelevant for notability purposes. If other sources are found, as hopefully they will be, and the article is kept than it would be sufficient for including said information in the article, but it's not enough to count towards keeping the article right now.

    WP:NGEO also does not apply to extraterrestrial locations, and instead points to NASTRO. If clarification is needed, a discussion at WT:NASTRO or WP:VPP will be needed. – LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 04:33, 11 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge/Redirect to the book. I'm not sure how big the crater is, but there are literally millions of minor craters on the moon, at least if the statisics for martian craters are anything to go by. There's just nothing here worth keeping. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 16:55, 11 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, there are at least 1,559 Wikipedia pages about craters on the Moon and what the mergerers here are saying is that Dandelion crater is the least important one and will be thrown overboard. I say keep them all, the more the merrier for a full encyclopedia, at least for ones that have a backstory. Dandelion crater, named after a masterpiece by Ray Bradbury, a spiritual father to many working in the space program, seems an extremely nice notable honoring of both a man and his work, and seems more than a good reason to keep this. On top of that, it became the end-point destination of a trip on the Lunar Roving Vehicle by the two moonbound astronauts of Apollo 15 - they were on their way to Dandelion crater! Which would have further honored Ray Bradbury. En route they changed their mind, which does not diminish the historical position of the crater to one of the three Lunar Roving Vehicle exploration missions. 1,559th on the list? Not by an Alan Shepard longshot. Randy Kryn ( talk) 21:12, 11 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • The problem is, if RS agreed with you, surely we'd have more sources? - Indy beetle ( talk) 01:35, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • Not a problem. Two books mention the honor, a major book on Ray Bradbury and a good book on the Moon missions. Remember that Apollo 15 was the first use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, and the mission plan calling for a visit to Dandelion crater had to have a well thought out purpose centered around a destination. Randy Kryn ( talk) 12:05, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply
        • There are literally over 2 million craters on the moon, that's approximately 1/3 the count of all English Wikipedia articles. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 15:44, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply
          • Yes, but obviously Wikipedia doesn't have two million articles about lunar craters. It does have at least 1,559 and, due to this honoring of the writing and popularization of space travel by Bradbury, and the dedication to culture and personal sentimentality of the crew and planning team for Apollo 15 (who had arranged a visit to this crater), Dandelion is one of the notable ones. Randy Kryn ( talk) 19:31, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply
            • What I don't understand is why we need a whole article to handle less than two sentences of coverage that could easily be placed elsewhere. This like Bill Clinton's high school jazz band... - Indy beetle ( talk) 20:02, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply
              • The crater was not named to honor Bill Clinton or his high school jazz band, who I realize did inspire generations of scientists to join into the conquest of jazz, ah, I mean space. Nor was a gig by Clinton's High School jazz band (named for their hit recording "The Meaning of "Is is") the travel destination of a long drive on the Moon during a jaw-dropping historical trek. But yes, Bill Clinton's High School Jazz Band was the bee's knees, just like this crater. Randy Kryn ( talk) 21:31, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • What I mean was, Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton,[2] that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band. is the same as "the plan was to swing east and drive along the flank of the mountain for 3km to two craters called Dandelion and Frost, the latter of which marked the maximum walkback limit" being a plainly trivial mention of that crater. - Indy beetle ( talk) 22:18, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Trivial to some, a notable and noble mention to others (enjoyed the Frost crater page, maybe the photo used there also includes Dandelion, which is now burdened by an odd image). Randy Kryn ( talk) 22:27, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply

The result was keep. The consensus here is clearly to keep this article, either on WP:IAR grounds or because the participants truly believe the article now meets WP:GNG after much improvement since it was nominated. I don't believe there has to be a solitary reason to keep or delete an article if several valid arguments are put forth. I based my conclusion on the arguments put forth and not on appeals based on what ramifications the deletion of this specific article would mean for the project.

Articles on similar individuals/athletes could be nominated at AFD and if there was not similar support or arguments put forth of their behalf, the consensus could be Deletion. If editors are unhappy with the current expectations for notability for sports figures, especially sports figures whose careers were prior to mass media, they should make a persuasive argument or start an RFC on the relevant policy page rather than fighting it out in every AFD nomination. On the other hand, mass nominations of these biographies can put undue pressure on AFD participants to do research on more articles than is reasonable given the fact that we are all volunteers. However, it seems like the recent deluge of nominations seen during the summer has slowed in September.

Sorry for this long closure statement, but this is the kind of AFD decision that might be brought to Deletion review and I'd rather make my position clear prior to a discussion there. Liz Read! Talk! 01:04, 24 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete (reluctant). I also searched and came up empty of SIGCOV. Accordingly, the article fails both WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC (mandatory SIGCOV requirement for sport biographies). The reality is that the NFL wasn't the NFL in the 1920s. The league then fielded teams in minor-league cities such as Pottsville, Kenosha, Hammond, Dayton, Evansville, Rock Island, Racine, Duluth, etc. and just hadn't built the following it did later.

It's not a question of wanting it deleted. It's a question of applying the rules honestly.

    I still think it should be kept. When an article can be written of this type quality, on a National Football League player (especially one who played more than a FULL season and for five different teams), we should be able to keep regardless of GNG (i.e. IAR. Deleting articles like this DO NOT improve the encyclopedia). Our goal here at WP is to help the reader, right? Let's say you're a reader, would you rather have a very detailed biography of a person you're interested in (in the past year, this article has been viewed about 600 times, showing that there is an interest in this guy), or nothing at all? BeanieFan11 ( talk) 00:29, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the link, User:Enos733. However, WP:SPORTBASIC mandates that we have SIGCOV present in the article for sports bios.

  • Delete - To be clear, I am suggesting we delete all five of the nominated articles. They are either dictionary definitions or translations of common words and phrases in English and amount to a dictionary definition. All of them were previously discussed at AfD and consensus was to transwiki them to wiktionary, but as that is no longer an option, the issue still remains of what to do with what's here on Wikipedia. I think the intent with the previous AfDs was that Wikipedia is not the appropriate place for these articles and that they should be moved to a more appropriate place. Being unable to move them to a more appropriate place does not remove the fact that Wikipedia is still not the appropriate place for these articles; that fact remains unchanged. Per WP:DICTDEF I think these should be deleted; I don't see these being able to be expanded upon in any meaningful way beyond what little is already there at each of these articles. Psychosophy has some content there but it's just "here's what the word means and here's some examples of the word being used by people" and does include this rather amusing error "The American teacher Scott Hamilton has trademarked the United States for his contemporary school of psychology" It's rather impressive that he was able to trademark the United States, but that doesn't indicate appropriateness for the term on Wikipedia. - Aoidh ( talk) 05:45, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply

I can't find enough significant, third-party coverage to establish notability for this company. There's lots of churnalism and press releases but very little of substance.

  • Delete - What little I could find about this app and/or the company behind it is not reliable sourcing (the line between the app and the group behind the app is often blurred in sources such as this, which I want to stress is a contributor piece which wouldn't be a reliable source even if it wasn't written by Socialblood's founder, but it's non-independent anyways so the point is moot). Outside of database listings (usually pulling directly from app APIs with no context) and a sprinkle of funding mentions, there's no coverage of this application in reliable sources that are independent of the subject; it fails WP:GNG and WP:NSOFT. - Aoidh ( talk) 01:45, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Strong Delete. The current three trivial refs does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NFILM at all. BFI inclusion is a database, ref 2 mentions the film in a one short paragraph, almost all being quotes (no critical commentary), whereas ref 3 is a database entry on its box office, and even if that's high, fame isn't synonymous with notability. Currently, I strongly oppose keep. Responding to previous keep comments- The sourcing now is much better than it was and includes an article from two years after the film release- we have three refs, two are databases, and the "article" is a trivial mention. Notability per WP:GNG at least requires two or more significant, independent, reliable refs, this is obviously not met. Per Shshshsh's comment, [sources] added, including from one from India Today. The film was released in 2000, and sadly there isn't much information available from those days anyway, if that's indeed true, it supports that the film is not notable. WP:BEFORE search found a couple of books with one hit, not much else. Though, like previous AfDs, I'd wish that Shshshsh could find more refs and rescue the article, though, until then the keep comments assert that routine databases and trivial mentions meet any notability criteria, though, we might need to respectfully disagree, like previous AfDs, on whether this meets notability criteria. Many thanks again to the nom and Shshshsh in the attempts to rescue the article (even if I obviously disagree), and please ping me if more refs are found!

Individual does not appear to pass WP:NBIO. Loss of a local election, and semi-frequent TV appearances giving political opinions appears to be the extent of her notability. While a WP:BEFORE search does return many results regarding Corcoran, the vast majority of these are passing mentions of a semi-controversial opinion that she has (say something controversial -> get reaction -> article) and are non-notabile in nature.

  • Delete per nom. Appearing on Good Morning Britain once to talk about some personal beefs, and writing an opinion piece and being quoted for her opinion is not notable coverage. In college in 2022, the subject failed to win after running for president of her university's student union, which is also unremarkable coverage. Notability of the subject clearly has not been shown via sources that are mentions by the media and not extensive coverage. The Wiki page appears to be promotional.

  • Delete, including per AuthorAuthor and WP:PROMO, because reports about, e.g. her viral Tweet about a job rejection letter that included chicken puns, and her allegations of bullying, do not provide much independent depth to support WP:BASIC notability. The Guardian does not add much secondary context, e.g. "a maverick rightwinger with an already significant profile on GB News and talkRadio [...] A slip recently, where a separate account replied as if they were her, suggests that her online profile may be a group effort – not exactly a sockpuppet account, since she is definitely real; more of a sock chorus." The WP:REFBOMBing in the article, e.g. [6], seems to further emphasize a lack of sufficient support for notability at this time. Beccaynr ( talk) 00:07, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    I think the article edit history, including as described in the comment by Meena about what happened after the article was initially created, as well as the noted sock activity, e.g. [7], may support the addition of some WP:SALT to the article title.

  • Comment: "not a dictionary" clearly does not apply in cases where the content far exceeds what would appear in Wiktionary. Whether there ought to be that much content is another matter, but this page has existed for eighteen years, and has over eight hundred edits during that time, some by experienced editors whose names I recognize. I would be very reluctant to conclude that the contents do not belong on Wikipedia. If the content looks like it's poorly connected, perhaps some of it should be split off or merged into other articles. If the remaining core of the article is too brief to justify an independent article, then deletion or merger may be appropriate. P Aculeius ( talk) 23:26, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
While I'm sympathetic to what you're saying, it doesn't seem like any of the sources (apart from dictionary sources) are actually discussing "meta" itself. Rather, the article is made up of sources about meta-this and meta-that. Without sources for the overall perspective, we're getting close to original research. Retinalsummer ( talk) 01:12, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
I might be wrong (and feel free to explain why you think so! I've been wrong before and would prefer not to be in the future!), but I'm pretty sure what you're saying here about the length of content is contradicted by the policy I quoted? - Here's the relevant section. And though I think there is certainly content on the page that could belong in other places (and may or may not be there already), I don't think the length of time an article has existed or who has edited it have any influence on whether or not a page is appropriate - I certainly don't think "hey, is this even a single article or a WP:CHIMERA" on every article I edit and would not expect others to do so. But this article was on the backlog of articles that have never been assessed for importance by WikiProject Philosophy after the template was added, I'm not surprised to have found a few (much less than 1% of them) are dictionary entries or other non-encyclopedic topics that fell through the cracks. - car chasm ( talk) 01:24, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
I don't think that we're talking about simple length—the explanation at "Not a Dictionary" refers to numerous things that might naturally occur in a dictionary entry. This article contains a lot of discussion that wouldn't be found in Wiktionary. The more applicable subtopic of the policy might be WP:WORDISSUBJECT. However, I agree that this article looks a bit like a chimaera and should probably be split and merged into multiple articles. Whether there's anything left at the end is another matter—but the simple fact that this article has been around for as long as it has, and received as many edits as it has over that time, while not proving that it ought to be kept, does argue that we ought to think very carefully about whether there is something that could be salvaged as an article—or whether this should be redirected to the disambiguation page, which would at least preserve its very considerable history.

WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of information, every use of a relatively common phrase or idiom is simply not content that belongs on an encyclopedia. As Wikipedia is not a dictionary, this should be deleted. - car chasm ( talk) 14:46, 17 September 2022 (UTC) A suitable redirect target now exists that did not at the time of nomination, I believe it should be redirected there instead. - car chasm ( talk) 16:21, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - Outside of the "phrase defined" section that is literally a dictionary definition, the entire rest of the article goes against WP:NOTDIRECTORY, as a "list or repository of loosely associated topics such as quotations". There could possibly be a legit article written on the phrase or it could be used as a Redirect, but as this current article goes against Wikipedia policy, it should not be retained for either of those possibilities to happen.

  • Keep and rewrite into prose. There's enough usage by notable people (MLK's use seems pretty compelling) that an article is reasonable. The dictdef and many of the attributions to not-themselves-notable speakers should be deleted, leaving us with an RS'ed commentary on The problem of evil. Jclemens ( talk) 18:48, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    Perhaps I'm missing something here, but isn't what you're proposing a violation of WP:NOR? We're not in the business of writing original commentaries on the problem of evil. - car chasm ( talk) 19:19, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    Writing? Not any more than we write text around RS'es attestation in any other field. Rather, we should appropriately collect usages of this term by notable people--a slightly less ambitious and more focused purpose than the article as it currently stands seems to be trying to do. Jclemens ( talk) 19:49, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    I'd recommend looking at WP:NOTDICT again - the project you're describing, "collecting usages of this term by notable people" is explained in the sections Not Size and Wikipedia is not a usage guide. If, on the other hand, you can point to reliable sources that collect usages of this term by notable people, analyze them, and provide a synthesis, those would constitute secondary sources. As a tertiary source, Wikipedia would then be able to cite those secondary sources as they would constitute significant coverage of the topic. If no such secondary sources exist, then wikipedia should not have an article on this. - car chasm ( talk) 20:10, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    If you had done a proper WP:BEFORE a quick perusal of Google Scholar would have identified that enough material to build an appropriate article exists. I'd recommend focusing on your own responsibilities before trying to educate me about mine. Jclemens ( talk) 21:23, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    I did do a bit more than a quick perusal - there are a few articles that use the idiom in their title or subtitle (as it is a common idiom), an article that is a copy of this wikipedia page, and one single article from 2010 that uses the idiom in its title and includes a brief discussion of the idiom itself for one paragraph. I would not consider that WP:SIGCOV. - car chasm ( talk) 22:24, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply

    There's a bit of a description in there. The distinction exists, however, between the poem's notability and the quote's notability. As it stands, this article seems like someone went looking for trivial usages of the phrase, many of them from non-notable people, and then compiled them into a Wikiquote article...on Wikipedia. A quick look at Category:Quotations shows that, while there are many listed, most of them are redirects to main pages, with possibly a section devoted to the quote. Augusthorsesdroppings10 ( talk) 02:57, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ Carchasm, did you look at the rewrite I suggested? The article could be reverted to that and moved to Man Was Made to Mourn pretty easily. I think that Burns' article is somewhat too long for a merge to be feasible. Eddie891 Talk Work 02:59, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply

This is just weird... it's an article that was started with a reference to a Yemeni university, that is still right there in place, but was then embellished with meta information about the Caribbean island. There is a single university on the latter, so there is no apparent point to a single-item list. The Yemen institution in turn doesn't have an article, and its name has pointed to the island's institution since 2009. I don't know how this would be salvaged in a meaningful way.

  • Weak keep. The nominator failed to provide the analysis of the "single source", which seems pretty solid - a book chapter that contains dedicated discussion of the character in question. The book chapter's focus on the character is evident in the very title of the chapter ("Tony Hillerman's Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee"), although admittedly, the chapter title was not included in the reference in the article. Still, the nominator likewise gave no indication of carrying out WP:BEFORE, and if we have an academic, in-depth book chapter, the odds are decent this is notable and one more source can be found (and, surprise, suprise, a one second glance at GScholar results does indeed confirm that yes, he is almost certainly notable, appearing in titles of several works there). Per BEFORE, the nominator should carry out a search and tell us whether they found no other source, or why sources that appear in GScholar and like are inadequate, and why the current (very solid at first glance) is not sufficient. Lastly, a redirect would be much better here then outright deletion, given the existing source.

  • Keep - While it may not be a cohesive community, this is an important location from a transportation standpoint. As mentioned in the article, State Road was formerly an important rest stop on the intercity bus network and also formerly had a train station along what is now a freight-only railroad line. In addition, State Road is an important highway junction. It is currently at the junction of US 13 and US 40 and the location formerly served as the southern terminus of US 202 and the northern terminus of US 301. The construction of I-95 and the relocation of intercity bus service to Wilmington have diminished the transportation importance of State Road but historic importance still matters. Dough 4872 13:39, 3 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    So the article needs to be renamed and totally reworked. "State Road is an unincorporated community", the use of Infobox Settlement, its navbox, and categories are all wrong. Neither rest stops nor highway junctions are typically notable topics. "Important highway junction" is awfully subjective with thousands of them in the country!

  • Sadly, I'll have to go with delete. The only substantial discussion of Clemente's (which everyone who rode Greyhound or Trailways through the area from the fifties through the eighties is too well aware of) I could find was this blog post, which begins by saying "One piece of transportation history that seems to be in the process of being completely forgotten is the Clemente Travel Center, also known as “State Road” in New Castle, Delaware." He also describes the latter as a "locale", which is more in my experience: there has never been a settlement around it. I could find no corroboration of the place as a settlement, and while there's probably an Arcadia book somewhere that talks about Clemente's, searching didn't immediately turn one up. Mangoe ( talk) 04:40, 5 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - Found this news feature on Clemente Travel Center, which describes it as being "at State Road": Stewart, Ann (July 28, 1987). "Boss still buses tables at bus terminal". The Morning News. Vol. 108, no. 105. pp. B7–B8. part 2. Another article on the fate of the building from the same paper here. Social notices from 1921 editions of a paper reference a "State Road Community Club" and numerous people living "at State Road" in the vicinity of New Castle. This references another club, and this references a "State Road Chapel". This suggests the State Road Community Club was founded in 1921, and mentions a "State Road school". There was also a State Road Community Hall. This article discusses state police revamping their radio antennae in the locale.

Seven Days (magazine)

Article on magazine that does not satisfy magazine notability or general notability. Created in article space, then moved to draft space by User:Hey man im josh as not ready for article space. Then created again in article space by originator. The draft has now, reasonably, been cut down to a redirect to the article, but the article does not establish notability.

A check of the references shows that none of them provide significant coverage of the magazine. One is a passing mention. One is an upload of a page from the magazine to Commons. One is a lengthy report that does not appear to be related.

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
1 againstthecurrent.org Obituary-tribute to Dave Dellinger Yes No, passing mention of magazine Yes No
2 Wikimedia Commons Photograph of masthead of magazine No No No, circular reference No
3 iranhrdc.org A 2006 report, of no obvious connection to the subject Yes No, no obvious connection Yes No

Draftification, with instructions to use the AFC review process, is a reasonable alternative to deletion, but the originator has already disagreed with that option. Robert McClenon ( talk) 04:00, 3 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • I am trying to fix an error on Wikipedia. There is a newspaper in Vermont called Seven Days, established in 1995. Many of the people who worked for Seven Days, the magazine that appeared from 1977 to 1979, inaccurately had links to that newspaper as there was no Wikipedia entry. The magazine masthead had a who's who of prominent socialists from the 1970s, many of who have Wikipedia entries. It was founded by David Dellinger of the Chicago Seven. I am merely trying to correct the misimpression left on the site that they worked for the Vermont newspaper. I admit there is not much online material that could quickly be found on Seven Days the magazine -- I noticed the error while reading the Wikipedia entry for Barbara Ehrenreich after she died this week. I hope to find more references and sources to build up the entry but in the meantime Wikipedia should not have incorrect links, should it? Thank you for your consideration. Congha2540 ( talk) 17:00, 3 September 2022 (UTC) reply

    Re the third reference, that was a famous interview, a big scoop, published by Seven Days. The reference to the interview appears on page 20 of the report with a citation to the magazine. Congha2540 ( talk) 17:01, 3 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to David Dellinger, whom sources most often seem to mention as the founder and editor of the magazine. [1] [2] [3] The poor state of sourcing presently in the article ( primary sources and passing mentions) do not count towards notability, but current sourcing is not a criterion for deletion per WP:NEXIST. While the magazine appears to have had notable writers and editors, after searching newspaper archives and the Internet Archive I have yet to find significant coverage of the magazine itself that can't be easily added to an existing article or two as needed. A couple sentences—a paragraph at most—at David Dellinger is probably sufficient. Individual noteworthy accomplishments by contributors might be better presented at the authors' articles. Wikilinks to non-notable publications might simply be omitted, with the magazine explained in text if necessary (humans were able to read information just fine for centuries before the invention of hyperlinks). Searching for coverage of the magazine is hampered by its commonplace title, but for future reference it is also known as Sevendays and Seven Days Magazine. --Animalparty! ( talk) 20:27, 3 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Given the repeated confusion between this publication and the existing Seven Days newspaper, doesn't it make since to have a separate entry, even if it was limited? I'm not sure a redirect to David Dellinger would necessarily sold that problem and it could easily be missed by people. Seven Days was supposed to be a competitor to In These Times which still exists and has a Wikipedia page. In the pre-Internet age, there would not have been much coverage in mainstream media of socialist publications; now such a publication would gain notice with an active Twitter account. Given how Seven Days was a launching pad for many notable people, I would still argue it deserves an entry. I have been traveling but hope to build this up further. Congha2540 ( talk) 19:29, 6 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • The potential for confusion with other publications is not a notability guideline. If a topic lacks significant coverage from multiple reliable sources, whether currently or in pre-internet times, then per general notability guidelines a stand-alone article is unwarranted. If other articles incorrectly link to Seven Days (newspaper), they can simply be unlinked and defined in context, e.g. "Joe Blow wrote for the short-lived socialist magazine Seven Days in the 1970s." Or, if Seven Days (magazine) becomes a redirect (e.g. {{ R from work}}), the link will still work, and a sentence or two at the target article will give necessary context. For what it's worth, I found a somewhat more than trivial mention in a 1977 issue of Working Papers for a New Society (another short-lived leftist publication), but that alone doesn't demonstrate independent notability, and again I think any encyclopedic content can easily be distilled into an existing article, or simply mentioned in text. --Animalparty!

  • I don't think the recent additions are improvements, or any closer to demonstrating notability. It doesn't matter one bit how much we as editors think a subject should have it's own article. The Washington Post reprinting a portion of a Seven Days article is largely a Primary source and does not alone demonstrate the significance of the article in the broader Progressive lawsuit. Tying together disparate passing mentions and primary sources and synthesizing or inferring significance (e.g. implying that Seven Days was instrumental in United States v. Progressive Inc. when sources like this do not make the claim) risks original research, or at the very least, giving undue coverage to things before their time (if you were to write an article on the significance of Seven Days and get it published elsewhere, that would then provide a significant secondary source that an encyclopedia could summarize). We as Wikipedians cannot connect the dots that haven't already been connected, or tell stories that haven't been told. As an analogy, imagine a local news reporter or radio announcer in your hometown. The whole city may know their name, maybe they've written some popular or controversial articles and occasionally get quoted in national news. Evidence of their education, family members, and life events might be found in local newspaper clippings. All of this may be verifiable in reliable sources, and perhaps additional biographic info could be gleaned from public records, their Twitter feed, or digging through their trash, but when stung together does not demonstrate the subject has received significant secondary attention. An article can't just be a list of articles that have appeared in the magazine, nor a list of writers. I'm not against draftification, as there certainly is a possibility that substantial coverage exists somewhere, but a redirect would also allow for future expansion should sufficient sources be found. --Animalparty! ( talk) 05:49, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Okay, fair point re the connection to the dropping of the Progressive case. The article cited the publication of articles in newspapers and I should not have assumed that the Washington Post article was one of those cited. Upon conducting more research, I see that the H-bomb article, intended to be satire, was later picked up by would-be terrorists and then CIA used their access to the article to justify the success of the torture program. I don't think this story can be adequately covered in a redirect to Dave Dellinger --since he did not write the article in question -- and I remain puzzled at the reluctance to accept an entry on this publication. Congha2540 ( talk) 21:30, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to David Dellinger as suggested above; I agree that the current sources do not demonstrate notability, but I think this redirect could be useful. Hatman31 ( talk) 17:16, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • I am hoping the additional detail on how the H-bomb article (not written by Dellinger) became a factor in Gitmo detentions convinces you that this entry meets notability requirements. Congha2540 ( talk) 16:05, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • I don't think that was enough on its own, but that combined with the additions by Cielquiparle makes me think there's enough coverage to keep the article. Hatman31 ( talk) 17:36, 22 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • If there is noteworthy content regarding a single article (e.g. the H-bomb article), it can be mentioned at Binyam Mohamed or José Padilla (criminal). We don't need a whole article just to coat-rack individual articles that have a passing mention of the name "Seven Days". What I see here is the equivalent of taping newspaper scraps to a wall and calling it comprehensive coverage. As another example: say there is an elementary school in a notable town that has several notable alumni, but no reliable source has ever significantly covered the school (maybe it closed long ago, or was so unremarkable that it never got significant coverage). To scrape together an article that says little more than "X was an elementary school. In 19XX Joe Athlete attended. In 19XX Fred Business Mogul was a substitute teacher there. In 19XX Jane Hollywood attended, and in a 2005 interview said "I had great teachers there". In 19XX it appeared in the background of a fast food commercial by [notable company]. In 19XX it was one of 2 dozen county schools fumigated for termites." is what is called a WP:COATRACK article (the notable alumni or tangential events are the coats). An encyclopedia article should not resemble a scrapbook or bulletin board of loosely related facts. Encyclopedia articles on magazines should not be mere lists of articles or authors, but of course the magazine can be mentioned in other articles as necessary, wikilinks or no. And adding section dividers or textual padding doesn't make a subject any more notable. --Animalparty! ( talk) 21:44, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. OK to keep now. Single best in-depth source identified by Congha2540 was the 1977 Working Papers for a New Society article. To satisfy WP:GNG, would also point to 1976 article in The Los Angeles Times and the 1 979 Herald News article on Seven Days's role in the H-bomb parody article controversy (a topic which could probably justify having its own separate page with more detail). (The 1977 article in The New York Daily News is also helpful but strictly speaking it is mostly interview-driven (i.e., largely based on quotes from Dellinger and "according to Dellinger"), so not as helpful from an independence point of view. Several problematic sources (e.g. Daily Mail and NameBase) have been removed by multiple editors, and blatant copyvio passages (e.g. cut-and-paste from Washington Post and Guardian) have been removed. Yes, it feels like we're still missing some key sources for this article, particularly from books, but for now this is sufficient to keep the article, and in the meantime I might add a few more "passing mention" type sources with important details so I wanted to pause to point to the more substantive pieces of coverage. Cielquiparle ( talk) 11:25, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • I greatly appreciate the extensive editing and additional sources you have added. The entry is much improved. Thank you. I wonder why you removed all references to the H-bomb article becoming a factor in detention of alleged terrorists. It would seem relevant that the government took this seriously. If I erred in quoting from articles, it could at least be summarized, correct? Congha2540 ( talk) 11:58, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • Too much detail for a Wikipedia article about Seven Days magazine which appears to have closed by 1980. The actual H-bomb article controversy including its possible impact decades later is a huge topic that might warrant its own standalone article in the future, but it's too much detail in the context of this one. The magazine published hundreds of other important articles besides this. Cielquiparle ( talk) 12:20, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
        • OK, on second thought – a single sentence summarizing the fact that it caused everyone to mention the article and the magazine again decades later seems reasonable. But I also wouldn't overdo it. Cielquiparle ( talk) 12:31, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep following improvements. Mccapra ( talk) 09:36, 22 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect, per User:Animalparty. Coverage right now, including of the H-bomb stuff, is just not in-depth enough, and/or specifically focused on the subject. I'm a huge fan of us having all possible articles on publications--magazines, newspapers, journals, etc--but it's not here for this article. User:Congha2540, this just isn't helpful: it looks like you're beefing up the article hoping that sheer mass will lead to it being kept, but this had no secondary sourcing and doesn't prove anything. User:Mccapra, I don't see the improvements you're seeing--what sourcing took it over the hump? Drmies ( talk) 17:46, 23 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • I am confused why a primary source is not acceptable. The printing of the full Barbara Walters interview was important at the time but I have not had a chance yet to dig into the newspaper archive to see how much was written about it. Several people have improved on this entry and I am puzzled why a redirect to Dellinger would be considered preferable given the consistent confusion between this magazine and the existing Seven Days newspaper in Wikipedia. Congha2540 ( talk) 18:14, 23 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • Congha2540, what? We work by way of secondary sources. If we didn't, you might as well summarize every story ever published in the magazine. Your "was important at the time" needs secondary sourcing, but that seems obvious to me. And that "confusion", you brought that up a number of times, but it makes no sense to me. If there were links to the wrong article, we correct that. That's all. So I'm not convinced there's "consistent confusion", and if there is, the solution is not to write another article but to correct the erroneous links.

  • Additional coverage. If anyone wasn't quite persuaded by the three articles I mentioned perviously (Working Papers for a New Society, Los Angeles Times, Herald News), I've finally found "review" type articles assessing the magazine itself. Now cited within the article are a widely syndicated review by Tom Collins of Newsday in New York, and a very large feature and review by Alan Finder of The Record in New Jersey ( "Will it shake the world?" Part 1 and Part 2, "A magazine of the Left"). Cielquiparle ( talk) 00:51, 24 September 2022 (UTC) reply

A non-notable computer operating system that does not pass the WP:GNG. None of the sources included in the article are viable, largely just being links to the creator's long dead website, and searches brought up no coverage at all in reliable sources. It seems to have already been deleted once via AFD way back in 2005 (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whitix), but was re-created several years later and has sat here ever since. It could potentially be speeded under criteria G4, but since I have no way of knowing if this version is, in fact, sufficiently identical to the deleted version, I figured I should bring it here instead.

Band that does not satisfy musical notability or general notability. A check of the references shows that they are mostly trade rags, except for reference 2 in the New York Times and references 3 and 10 in Billboard magazine, which should be reliable sources, but they are not verifiable because they are set up using Proquest, which is a paywalling service. So there is no verifiable significant coverage as of 10 September 2022.

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary Verifiable
1 muscianbio.org A database entry Yes No Yes No Yes
2 proquest.com New York Times via proquest Yes No

    Hi DareshMohan Sir , It is a good thing if there is a consensus. There is information in these three sources in this way, Senior Editor, you decide whether to keep it or delete. The Indian Express >The film was The Gang. During the shoot, at Kochi, Vani suddenly panicked about whether she would get paid. So she sent a message to Baburaj, who was the producer. Immediately, he provided the payment. But that same evening, Baburaj called Vani and said, “I need some money urgently. So can you give it back? I promise that I will pay it tomorrow morning.” Mathrubhumi >My first action movie was director Baburaj’s “The Gang.” However, my role in movie ‘Independence’ was more appreciated. Babuvettan used to tell that Vani is ready to do anything once the director says ‘action.’That was true. ‘Start-Action-Camera’ was like a mantra to me. Once it says ‘action’, I was ready to do all types of acrobatics and smash the doors and glasses. This had also created a lot of trouble to me. I had met with numerous accidents during film shootings. Now, when I think of doing action roles, I start to worry about my children. Even a slight pain in the knee makes me nervous Screen (magazine)>The Gang - William' crime-thriller, CINEMATOGRAPHER J Williams has directed a film in Malayalam titled The Gang, an investigative thriller set against the backdrop of the popular beach resort, Kovalam. A drug racket run by a foreigner on the beach with the help of locals and a coast guard forms the crux of the film. Vani Viswanath, Suvarna, Steffi and a hoard of villains form the cast of the film.

Feels weird to paste all the content here, but it is okay I guess. The New Indian Express source also included this at the beginning: One day, in October, 1998, Vani Viswanath got a call at her home in Chennai. The director J Williams wanted to come and narrate a story. Vani said yes. But when Williams arrived, he was accompanied by Mollywood villain Baburaj. Vani assumed that Williams would be narrating the story, but it turned out to be Baburaj who had written the script. Vani thought to herself, ‘Does he have the capacity to narrate a story?’ But Vani got a surprise. “When he began speaking, I stopped listening to the story and was taken up by the way he was talking, the gestures he was making, and the smile on his face,” says Vani. “He was speaking in a much better way than most scriptwriters. I decided to say yes, just because of the way Baburaj was telling the story.” DareshMohan ( talk) 23:32, 26 August 2022 (UTC) reply

    Then why haven't you used it as a source? You have two sources: Flippo's unsourced comments, which have been strongly criticized, and a TV show based upon Nickell's promotional efforts for his self-published book.

Per WP:USINGSPS, "self-published" does not mean "independent"; this whole debate would only be relevant if this were an article about W. Lynn Nickell, which it is not.

    As for the reliability of the source, WP:USINGSPS also goes on to say that self-published sources are acceptable "if the author is an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications." Nickell's position as county historian establishes himself as an expert and one likely to do due diligence in terms of research and fact-checking, or at the very least be presumed to do without evidence to the contrary. As for the latter point, it appears that it has (there are also several news articles in which he is cited/quoted in his capacity as historian).

    • I don't know what your link is trying to prove. No one is disputing that his books are self-published. The sources I presented, however, are not those books. The first source is scholarly research by Robert M. Rennick at Morehead State University that cites Nickell as a subject-matter expert; the second is a book by William E. Ellis from the University Press of Kentucky that does the same. If someone's work as a historian has been deemed reliable not only by major music publications but by multiple major universities, I am inclined to agree with the publications and universities, as is Wikipedia policy.

          Nickell was a high school basketball coach. I'm sure he was a very nice man, but he was an amateur historian.

There are no extraordinary claims regarding whether Gilley is notable, whether Wikipedia should delete his biography. He's been discussed by a bunch of sources. The Nickell book simply needs to exist for it to have some bearing on Gilley's notability. None of the media have said that Nickell's scholarship is flawed. He's considered an expert on the topic. Binksternet ( talk) 17:00, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
The claim that Gilley secretly wrote hit songs for Williams and other singers in the face of the testimony of multiple eyewitnesses to the contrary is certainly an extraordinary claim, and one that is not generally accepted by musuc scholars.

  • Delete Gilley's entire claim to notability is based on his own statements. While a couple sources have repeated his claims, they are not apparently supported by any evidence beyond Gilley's own statements. All documentary evidence that may have supported the claims were destroyed. This does not mean that Gilley was necessarily wrong, but his claims in several instances are refuted by other witnesses describing how songs Gilley claims he wrote were actually written by others. Gilley as an original source is unreliable, which means that any claims he made that are the basis of these other books is similarly unreliable. If the article is to remain, it should be cast as a description of unverified and unverifiable claims by Gilley, since no other sources exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bomagosh ( talkcontribs) 12:53, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • First of all, if someone self-published a book, and that book is the source for our article, and the author of that book has a reputation or sales riding on the book, then one can argue that the sources are indeed dependent on the subject (or the subject's reputation), whether the subject is alive or dead. Raise your hand if you bought the book after reading this article--no hands? But in principle it's possible.

    Anyway, for that argument to be a proper argument for deletion, it would have to be argued that the book itself is not acceptable as a reliable secondary source (because it's still secondary, despite any COI), and I have not seen that argument here. Tom Reedy takes a stab at that, with the comment on cropped newspaper articles, and there are interesting comments on the talk page, but that quickly gets bogged down in the particulars of some numbering issue of a student publication. That that matter is neither here nor there seems, from my perspective, to be handled deftly by Binksternet, whose list of sources discussing the matter is not challenged by any one else (and the American Songwriter article is not just based on Gilley). Bomagosh makes a valid point regarding reliability--but I don't see proof there of unreliability, or a specific argument.

    I'm going with keep--even without Gilley, there's sourcing here. Oh, I got pinged (thank you Tom) because I reverted someone years ago who removed a bunch of material: that was me reverting a disruptive editor; I certainly didn't have much of an opinion on article content.

    But the question is the source of the information. If all the articles say no more than "Gilley says he wrote these songs," but there's no evidence supporting his claim, and he seems to have a track record of claiming credit for songs for which there's reliable evidence that he did not write them, there is a big problem of reliability. If the sources are merely repeating his own claims, and the article remains on WP, it needs to be edited to not claim anything beyond what the sources support -- that Gilley CLAIMED to have written the songs. That's not nothing, but it's not much. Gilley's claims might be better reflected as a note in the questionable song descriptions, to better reflect Gilley's notability. Bomagosh ( talk) 01:11, 18 September 2022 (UTC) reply
I don't see any reliable sources questioning Paul Gilley's "track record" or reliability. On the contrary, the people who knew him were all in agreement that he was very reliable, upright and honest.

  • Keep While most of the individual sources are themselves minimal, the amount of them clearly shows the impact of this person's life in a popular music genre. Wikipedia needs more articles like this, not less - especially about people whose life and accomplishments pre-date the internet. In today's media environment this man would be as documented as Max Martin, at least for the few years he was active. Because of the ephemeral nature of sources, they tend to become more obscure, more disorganized, and harder to find the further we get in the future; the energy taken to write an article for this man, now, does more for future historians than adding more irrelevant sentences about easy to document modern things. Wikipedia has essays on recentism that discuss taking a 10 year POV and wondering if it is worth writing.

Any sources about this (which isn't like any essay I've ever seen, and seems directly equivalent to systems like DRG locomotive classification and Whyte notation, which just happen to be better documented in English) will almost certainly be offline and in Czech.

In this case that would be circa 1930s-1980s Czech-language sources that would plausibly write about technical aspects of railways.

Again, this fails WP:V, and that's not just about Mangoe's rationale, that's about whether this content should exist on Wikipedia at all.

Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 20:45, 6 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ Trainsandotherthings you are demanding other editors find sources, on a deadline if your choosing, so why object when others ask you to put some effort in first? It is perfectly reasonable to ask someone to look for sources in the native language as part of a BEFORE search, or at least reach out to speakers of that language and ask them - did you do that? You could ask at, e.g. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Czech Republic, or an editor in category:User cs, or maybe someone at Talk:Rail transport in the Czech Republic, or possibly somewhere on the Czech Wikipedia. It seems that you have assumed that because there is nothing in English on Google that it's entirely unverifiable and insist that other editors prove you wrong without having made any serious effort to determine verifiability or notability yourself - that is not reasonable behaviour.
    If a topic is contemporary, of broad interest and an English language speaking area then it's reasonable to assume that if there is nothing on Google in English then it's not verifiable (even though it isn't always true), however the further you get away from that the less reasonable the assumption becomes - when the topic is a niche subject that ceased to be current in the 1980s when the country was behind the iron curtain it's not at all a reasonable assumption to make. WP:BEFORE requires you to make a reasonable effort to find sources, and part of that is looking where sources are most likely to exist. If you've tried and failed, then document that, but if you don't try then don't act surprised when others call you out - particularly when a not insignificant proportion of your effort on the project is put in to deleting the work of others.

  • Before: I will not argue that a new page, without any egregious problems and with some presumption of notability, should be given latitude. It looks like this article was created July 2, 2006. It seems that is a lot of latitude. The criterion for searching for sources, to advance notability as a deciding factor for an article, I don't think is vague. Nominating article(s) for deletion gives some guidance. subsection B, subsection C-#1: Can any sources be found so we edit the article? Subsection D: 1 (minimum search), 2 (The Wikipedia Library), and 3 (completed basic due diligence). With only 13 edits from June 2006 until March 2008 I don't see enough to give credit that there is no plagiarism or copyright violations. The editor created the unsourced 471, ČD Class 471 and ČSD Class T 478.4 both with one inline citation, and I can only assume so much good faith. The subject may very well be notable but for an article to be created there has to be some degree of following policies and guidelines. Wikipedia:Verifiability (policy): In the English Wikipedia, verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source.

Does not pass WP:GNG. The previous AfD found the story written by Lisa Monforton published in the Calgary Herald, The Telegram, and The Western Star. They also found the article was republished by The National Post, but I can't find a working archive of the link. Regardless, these only count as a single source. They also found a source from travelguide.qutravel, but as far as I can tell the link is permanently dead and the user who found it said it was a "weaker" source. The page has had a citations needed tag since 2010 and concerns that the article was promotional with potential COI issues were noted on the talk page. There are some claims in the article itself that the show has been featured on National Geographic, Groove Korea, and Lonely Planet but there are no citations to verify the claims. The claim also seems to indicate that Lonely Planet only mentions the show, which makes me doubt whether it would be an in depth source assuming it even exists. If someone is able to find these sources to verify their existence and can either provide a link to a digital copy or vouch for the reliability and depth of coverage in a physical copy I'd be willing to retract my nomination, but as it stands I don't see how an unverified claim that the subject received news coverage denotes notability.

  • Strong Keep, a namesake honor to science fiction writer Ray Bradbury, who probably influenced the career choice of many of the space-age scientists, astronomers, and those in related fields who worked in the Apollo and other programs. This honor is mentioned in two reputable source books (thanks Praemonitus for finding this second source), which seems notable enough to "pass" the Keep bar. Since visiting the crater was on the to-do list for Apollo 15 but didn't get done, being part of its mission plan seems another notable point in its favor. Randy Kryn ( talk) 02:59, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge/Redirect to Dandelion Wine. Two mere mentions in books is not SIGCOV (the cited source in the article is a single sentence). This can be adequately covered elsewhere. Also who cares how about beloved Ray Bradbury is or his wider influence in society? This is a single namesake reference to a book, and sources do not seem to place extended emphasis on this crater. Do all streets named after notable people get WP:INHERITED notability? No. - Indy beetle ( talk) 09:41, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, the source that Praemonitus found is also a passing mention, the crater is literally mentioned once in this sentence: "the plan was to swing east and drive along the flank of the mountain for 3km to two craters called Dandelion and Frost, the latter of which marked the maximum walkback limit" This is literally not even a sentence of coverage, it very clearly does not contribute to a GNG pass. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 21:54, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    It testifies to the fact that Dandelion crater was to be an Apollo 15 mission-visited crater. This is actually a pretty big deal, even if the mission was changed during the Lunar Roving Vehicle mission and Dandelion wasn't visited. This further establishes an Apollo era notability for this crater. Randy Kryn ( talk) 03:06, 11 September 2022 (UTC) reply
No it doesn't, as there is still no significant coverage for the crater itself, only an extremely brief passing mention. As being part of a manned space exploration mission plan, or indeed actually being visited by Astronauts, is not one of the criteria outlined in WP:NASTCRIT, then that specific fact is irrelevant for notability purposes. If other sources are found, as hopefully they will be, and the article is kept than it would be sufficient for including said information in the article, but it's not enough to count towards keeping the article right now.

  • Merge/Redirect to the book. I'm not sure how big the crater is, but there are literally millions of minor craters on the moon, at least if the statisics for martian craters are anything to go by. There's just nothing here worth keeping. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 16:55, 11 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, there are at least 1,559 Wikipedia pages about craters on the Moon and what the mergerers here are saying is that Dandelion crater is the least important one and will be thrown overboard. I say keep them all, the more the merrier for a full encyclopedia, at least for ones that have a backstory. Dandelion crater, named after a masterpiece by Ray Bradbury, a spiritual father to many working in the space program, seems an extremely nice notable honoring of both a man and his work, and seems more than a good reason to keep this. On top of that, it became the end-point destination of a trip on the Lunar Roving Vehicle by the two moonbound astronauts of Apollo 15 - they were on their way to Dandelion crater! Which would have further honored Ray Bradbury. En route they changed their mind, which does not diminish the historical position of the crater to one of the three Lunar Roving Vehicle exploration missions. 1,559th on the list? Not by an Alan Shepard longshot. Randy Kryn ( talk) 21:12, 11 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • The problem is, if RS agreed with you, surely we'd have more sources? - Indy beetle ( talk) 01:35, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • Not a problem. Two books mention the honor, a major book on Ray Bradbury and a good book on the Moon missions. Remember that Apollo 15 was the first use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, and the mission plan calling for a visit to Dandelion crater had to have a well thought out purpose centered around a destination.

          • Yes, but obviously Wikipedia doesn't have two million articles about lunar craters. It does have at least 1,559 and, due to this honoring of the writing and popularization of space travel by Bradbury, and the dedication to culture and personal sentimentality of the crew and planning team for Apollo 15 (who had arranged a visit to this crater), Dandelion is one of the notable ones.

              • The crater was not named to honor Bill Clinton or his high school jazz band, who I realize did inspire generations of scientists to join into the conquest of jazz, ah, I mean space. Nor was a gig by Clinton's High School jazz band (named for their hit recording "The Meaning of "Is is") the travel destination of a long drive on the Moon during a jaw-dropping historical trek. But yes, Bill Clinton's High School Jazz Band was the bee's knees, just like this crater. Randy Kryn ( talk) 21:31, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • What I mean was, Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton,[2] that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band. is the same as "the plan was to swing east and drive along the flank of the mountain for 3km to two craters called Dandelion and Frost, the latter of which marked the maximum walkback limit" being a plainly trivial mention of that crater. - Indy beetle ( talk) 22:18, 12 September 2022 (UTC) reply

The result was keep. The consensus here is clearly to keep this article, either on WP:IAR grounds or because the participants truly believe the article now meets WP:GNG after much improvement since it was nominated. I don't believe there has to be a solitary reason to keep or delete an article if several valid arguments are put forth. I based my conclusion on the arguments put forth and not on appeals based on what ramifications the deletion of this specific article would mean for the project.

Articles on similar individuals/athletes could be nominated at AFD and if there was not similar support or arguments put forth of their behalf, the consensus could be Deletion. If editors are unhappy with the current expectations for notability for sports figures, especially sports figures whose careers were prior to mass media, they should make a persuasive argument or start an RFC on the relevant policy page rather than fighting it out in every AFD nomination. On the other hand, mass nominations of these biographies can put undue pressure on AFD participants to do research on more articles than is reasonable given the fact that we are all volunteers. However, it seems like the recent deluge of nominations seen during the summer has slowed in September.

Sorry for this long closure statement, but this is the kind of AFD decision that might be brought to Deletion review and I'd rather make my position clear prior to a discussion there. Liz Read! Talk! 01:04, 24 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete (reluctant). I also searched and came up empty of SIGCOV. Accordingly, the article fails both WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC (mandatory SIGCOV requirement for sport biographies). The reality is that the NFL wasn't the NFL in the 1920s. The league then fielded teams in minor-league cities such as Pottsville, Kenosha, Hammond, Dayton, Evansville, Rock Island, Racine, Duluth, etc. and just hadn't built the following it did later.

It's not a question of wanting it deleted. It's a question of applying the rules honestly.

    I still think it should be kept. When an article can be written of this type quality, on a National Football League player (especially one who played more than a FULL season and for five different teams), we should be able to keep regardless of GNG (i.e. IAR. Deleting articles like this DO NOT improve the encyclopedia). Our goal here at WP is to help the reader, right? Let's say you're a reader, would you rather have a very detailed biography of a person you're interested in (in the past year, this article has been viewed about 600 times, showing that there is an interest in this guy), or nothing at all?
