Article fails WP:NFO, WP:NFSOURCES and WP:SIGCOV. I found no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. I did a WP:BEFORE and found a review from The Miami Herald (via Newspapers.com). It needs one more review to be eligible for article status. The fact that it is Tim Allen's debut film appearance does not make it notable per WP:NOTINHERITED.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. Kelley, Bill (1989-04-21). "Drug Story More Like Dirty Slush". Sun Sentinel. Archived from the original on 2021-06-30. Retrieved 2023-04-21.

      The film review notes: "Tropical Snow is that bleakest of low-budget entities -- an exploitation B- movie with a social conscience. ... Once Tavo and Marina ally themselves with Oskar, the risks of the trade and their own stupidity quickly bring them to a bad end. Tropical Snow is directed and acted with the sort of solemn incompetence that only the truly untalented can achieve. Even the sex scenes, which are surprisingly explicit, have a sad, desperate quality. Apart from Carradine, the actors are as unconvincing as the film is boring."

    2. Coto, Juan Carlos (1989-04-21). "Tropical Snow is topical but simplistic". Miami Herald. Archived from the original on 2023-04-21. Retrieved 2023-04-21 – via Newspapers.com.

      The film review notes: " Tropical Snow tells the story of Tavo (Nick Corri) and Marina (Madeleine Stowe), two Colombians who flee poverty in Bogota for the promised land of New York City. The film manages to address anxieties facing illegal aliens, but it doesn't translate them into powerful drama until the last 40 minutes. ... Writer-director Ciro Duran uses pat story conventions early on, and even an offensive cliche -- while Tavo and Marina are strolling through Bogota, two Colombian women slug it out in the street, apparently because hot-blooded Latin spitfires are supposed to do this. ... Tropical Snow owes an obvious debt to El Norte, the 1983 drama about a brother and sister who flee Guatemala for Los Angeles. The new film fails to match its predecessor's poetic strength -- until the end. Though topical, Duran's film sometimes seems as simplistic as the metaphor in his title."

      The film review notes: "Along with the movie's portrayal of hot-blooded Latinos-- every man seems to have only one thing on his mind-- there are other insensitive stereotypes. ... The three leads speak English (except for their peculiar habit of referring to New York as Nuevo York). Everyone else speaks Spanish-- just watch their lips-- that is overdubbed with English. The effect is disorienting. The best thing about Tropical Snow is that it's beautifully photographed. Eduardo Serra's cinematography gives everything, even the hillside shanty towns, a tarnished glow. This Bogota doesn't look like such a bad place, and that odd detail works at cross-purposes to the story."

    4. Lent (1989-10-18). "Tropical Snow". Variety. Vol. 337, no. 1. p. 30. ProQuest  1286063343.

      The film review notes: "In view of Colombia's war on local druglords, tropical becomes topical in this sluggish "exposé" on cocaine smuggling, helmed by Colombian filmmaker Ciro Duran. ... Tech credits are okay with attention paid to sleazy barroom atmosphere and hazy Bogota streets. Acting is also all right. Abundant nudity may hinder tv sales, which seems like the most obvious market, especially with current media focus on Colombia's cocaine connection. -Lent."

      The book notes: "Seen as a "topical" entry because the US and Colombia fought the cartels together, Cird Duran produced the saga of cocaine smuggling shot in Bogota. Noting that this was a fictitious story, it also claimed to be an everyday occurrence. Focused on two attractive youths who spend much screen time enjoying each other's bodies, they dream of going to the US to earn dollars for themselves and their families. Unable to obtain a tourist visa, a drug dealer promises them one if they will simply carry some cocaine to JFK airport for them. The scenes are graphic, boy and girl are made to swallow over a hundred units of the drug fitted into the cut finger of surgical rubber gloves. A gruesome process at best, they must pass the material within twenty-four hours of they will die. The handsome boy does, his girl serves time in a US prison, then is returned to Colombia."

Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company. p. 597. ISBN  0-89950-560-0. Retrieved 2023-04-21.

      The book notes: "In view of Colombia's attempted crackdown on druglords, this movie filmed in Bogotá and Barranquilla in 1986 is at least timely. Colombian couple Nick Corri and Madeleine Stowe want to leave their country for New York to find a better life. They are offered free passage by David Carradine if they will do him a little favor — smuggle a lot of cocaine into the States."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Tropical Snow to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

I'll place my original PROD reason here as I believe it's still valid. 

I believe this article does not meet the requirements of notability to justify its existence, this can be seen in all four provided references (and all sources available on the internet, for that matter) as none of them talk directly about Snoot Game, but rather talk about it in the context of its criticism towards I believe this article does not meet the requirements of notability to justify its existence, this can be seen in all four provided references (and all sources available on the internet, for that matter) as none of them talk directly about Snoot Game, but rather talk about it in the context of its criticism towards 
Goodbye Volcano High. Therefore I believe that keeping this topic as just a mention in GVH's article is enough.

My original PROD was endorsed twice: once by Zxcvbnm mentioning that it fails WP:GNG which I agree with, and once more by QuicoleJR mentioning that there is no significant coverage, which I also agree with.

The PROD was contested six days after the original proposition by User:CJ-Moki, the author of the article, citing an inconclusive discussion on the talk page. I believe that this article should be deleted because there is zero coverage ‘‘about’’ it. There is only coverage about its controversy regarding the game that it is parodying, and therefore it is unsuitable for Wikipedia. Galo223344 ( talk) 22:39, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Student editor who refuses draftification and moved it over AfC decline. Could possibly be merged, but I don't think that will accomplish class goals, so we're here. Star Mississippi 22:10, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Little is mentioned as a Sigma Gamma Rho founder in The AJC in 2022, and her obituary is published by the LAT in 1992. A Butler University archive description states she "was one of the seven founding members of Sigma Gamma Rho and is considered the sorority's primary founder." Local news reports Butler University has a monument to the founders; the school paper reported honorary degrees for the founders in 2022; EBONY also reports this along with other historical events for the sorority. Beccaynr ( talk) 22:51, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    That's part of why I think she should be merged. One of the founders is of significant history, but I don't think it's enough for standalone. Star Mississippi 23:06, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    I haven't accessed the WP Library yet to check the Journal of Southern History reference, but Gregory S. Parks and Caryn Neumann, Lifting as They Climb: Race, Sorority, and African American Uplift in the 20th Century, 27 Hastings Women's L.J. 109 (2016) includes biographical information for Little (along with other founders) in fn 13; the law review could also support content in the Sigma Gamma Rho and Zeta Phi Beta articles.
    From my view, it seems possible to create a Founders section in the Sigma Gamma Rho article (perhaps as a subsection in the History section), with biographies of the founders, and Little listed first based on her being considered the primary founder, being listed first in a variety of sources, and having a sorority award named after her. Beccaynr ( talk) 00:49, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    Would make total sense to me. I don't know about the sorority award or honoree degrees, but that could be handled editorially. I guess my question is what these students are expected to deliver to meet their assignment. Of course folks could find more , I'm just saying what if/do they need a full "article" for their professors, which is where I hope Wiki Ed folks can help Star Mississippi 02:53, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    A book now generally cited in the article, Black Greek-letter Organizations in the Twenty-First Century (University of Kentucky Press, 2008) has a full page biography of Little at p. 127 (which notes Little wrote the sorority pledge) and at pp. 125 - 126 includes contextual history of the sorority (the chapter is titled "Seven Schoolteachers Challenge the Klan"), and at pp. 128 - 133, biographical information of other founders, as well as further context and history about the sorority at pp. 133 - 134. I would also like to hear from Wiki Ed folks, because I think there is potential for expansion at Sigma Gamma Rho that could make inclusion of concise biographies for Little and other founders WP:DUE per WP:BIO1E.

  • Keep Parks (cited in the article) includes a page length biography. McClure (also cited) notes that the sorority was her "brain child." Also see the sources provided by User:Beccaynr in the comment above. I think establishing one of the "divine nine" and having secondary sources stating that fact, is sufficient for notability. -- Jaireeodell ( talk) 14:42, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • ( edit conflict) Leaning merge per WP:PAGEDECIDE, which includes: When creating new content about a notable topic, editors should consider how best to help readers understand it. Often, understanding is best achieved by presenting the topic on a dedicated standalone page, but it is not required that we do so; at times it is better to cover a notable topic as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context (and doing so in no way disparages the importance of the topic). Our notability guideline is a broader consideration than WP:GNG/ WP:BASIC, and includes context and what may best help readers. For this subject, she is known for her work with others to found the sorority, and secondary sources seem to present them as a group with similar depth of biographical information and context; for example, they have the same historical context, have been honored with a monument, and were awarded honorary degrees. While there are details that distinguish Little's role as a primary founder, drafter of the pledge, first president, etc, I think developing a Founders section or subsection in the main Sigma Gamma Rho article, along with adding relevant content to other parts of that article, provides the most contextual understanding of the topics, and per WP:SUMMARY, it may eventually make sense to create a standalone article for the founders, with a link and a summary paragraph in the main Sigma Gamma Rho article. For now, the content would first need to be developed to assess how to proceed. From my view, a permanent stub for Little is less helpful for readers than a redirect to an article with contextual significance. Beccaynr ( talk) 15:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep; subject was president and founder of a national organization still in existence. Article has been somewhat improved since nomination (has an image now). Penny Richards ( talk) 16:08, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as notability has been established in the above discussion per WP:GNG, and because many editors have helped improve the article, which was in poor shape at the time it was nominated for deletion and was clearly moved into mainspace prematurely. The main debate now seems to be whether or not this article should be merged into Sigma Gamma Rho, or if it's deserving of a standalone article. In the past, I have been skeptical about whether sorority founders really deserve their own standalone Wikipedia articles, but in this particular case, this is a huge international sorority with a history of over 100 years, and the primary founder who was the first president, wrote the pledge, and has the biennial award named after her, whose founding story is significant in historical context and who remained involved in sorority activities through much of her life, seems justified. (And equally, that founding story and the biographical history of the founders is a big enough topic that trying to cram it all into the main sorority page would probably be disproportionate relative to the rest of the history of the sorority, which is significant.) That said, it is indeed the case that the original founders as a group are known as the "Seven Pearls of Sigma Gamma Rho" and have coverage as a group (although it seems Mary Lou Allison (Gardner) (Little) had the most and is also recognized separately), so I would not be opposed if other members of this WikiEd course at Allen University (or other editors) were to decide to expand this article to include all seven founders; at that point, we could use redirects with the individual founder names to redirect to the Seven Pearls of Sigma Gamma Rho page. But right now, that article content does not exist, so it's fine to keep the Mary Lou Allison (Gardner Little) article as is. Cc: Ian (Wiki Ed) and Helaine (Wiki Ed) and course instructor Kazooch.

Was a recurring character (not main cast) in two notable television shows. However, notability is not inherited. What little coverage I can find is either not significant, not independant, or from an unreliable source. Due to his recent guest appearance on a podcast, there has been some recent articles about McNulty, however they mostly just quote him and summarize what he said. -- Mike  🗩 18:18, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

This also seems like a run-of-the-mill state court intermediate appellate judge. Not a statewide office, and nothing in the subject's short resume-like article to indicate encyclopedic notability. He was born, served in the war, got an education, was a deputy attorney general (but not actually attorney general of the state), was district attorney of a county, served on regional trial and appellate courts, retired, and died.

Unable to find any significant coverage of the author to pass WP:GNG. Plenty of sites list him and his books like a bibliography and a few have a couple of sentences about the author but nothing coming close to "significant coverage."

There are reviews of his stories/books but nothing that would qualify for any of the criteria in WP:AUTHOR. Toddst1 ( talk) 15:07, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. The article needs a ton of work but the citations already listed prove notability with multiple reviews of his works in Publishers Weekly and Library Journal and the listing in Gale's Contemporary Authors. However, the citations already in the article barely scratch the surface of what's out there. A quick search turned up a ton more reviews of this author's work in places like Booklist, The Bookseller, Midwest Book Review, and many other places. And one review I found in The Bookseller, which I've now added to the article, called Barclay "One of the UK's most popular genre fantasy authors." As it states at WP:AUTHOR, notability is proved is a person "has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." Barclay easily meets this standard with his collective body of work as proved by being the subject of multiple reviews.-- SouthernNights ( talk) 19:28, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Agreed with SouthernNights - article needs improvement (and some advances have been made) but multiple reviews of Barclays works means article meets WP:AUTHOR#3. Resonant Distortion 20:03, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • keep as totally meets WP:AUTHOR #3. Plenty of reviews there. I've yet to see a writer in Contemporary Authors who doesn't meet WP:AUTHOR.

This article is filled with unreliable sources. References one & five are tabloids, reference six is a YouTube video, & reference seven is a blog. The only reliables ones seem to be Buckrail (2 & 4) & "Only in your state (3)." It's also suspicious that there are no newspaper articles of this individual from 1868, when she was arrested. I've looked on Newspapers.com, Newspaperarchive.com, & the Times digital archive, & I've found nothing. The only sources are from 100+ years after her alleged capture. It seems like a hoax.

My apologies for replying late. Honestly, I'm sure it must've been a hot report back then, but a crime that atrocious? An outlaw who was an early serial killer in a territory that wasn't a state. My conjecture is it was willingly disregarded and forgotten so people would move on, not be scared or ashamed of such history. Records must be getting more recognition to archive them, and with serial killer fanbases and outlaw fiction cultures, of course Bartlett would get attention.

Single source, without enough information to pass WP:VERIFY. Was sent to draft, but returned to mainspace without improvement. I asked User:Folly Mox to take a look and see if they could improve the sourcing, and they did work on the article, but as they said on their talk page, the subject is a bit out of their area of expertise.

  • Oops – I misinterpreted the talk page request to improve the formatting of the citations, not to find additional sources. The article subject has got his own chapter subheading in the Ming Shi. The reason I didn't add any additional citations is because they'd all point to the same spot. I suspect I have access to the same versions of most of the standard histories as our Chinese language editors who cite using search strings instead of page numbers. It's actually quicker to look up that way, especially if the source is not famous enough to earn a modern punctuated edition.
    This person's actually notable enough to be covered by modern historians (Mx. Granger's links 2 and 3 above each provide significant coverage), but I claim that the people with biographies in the standard histories are all going to pass GNG. We may only have one surviving source describing their life, but it's been put together from various lost sources by professional historians, who considered them important enough to create space for those people's stories in the execution of their historiography.

  • Delete and SALT this time as well. Contrary to what the person above said, all three nominations are for the same person, the South African producer/singer AirDee, as can be seen via mentions of his work with Locnville. This guy's articles have already been deleted twice because as a producer, he only ever appeared in the credit lists of other people's works, which is a curse that producers face. This time, his status as a behind-the-scenes and non-notable producer has not changed. He has since moved into creating his own music, but his one solo song so far has not attracted significant notice and has only been hyped at unreliable sites that reprint his management's promo announcements. This should also be salted to prevent yet another unneeded recreation of the article. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 19:26, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Another contested draft returned to mainspace without improvement. Zero in-depth sources from independent reliable secondary sources. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 11:58, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

I don't know if you're acquainted with football, but season by season articles for each major team (among the biggest in the world) is the standard. The fact that sourcing could improve does not detract from the fact that the Udinese season, just like all the other ones in existence, is notable by virtue of its subject. See here: "Individual season articles for top-level professional teams are highly likely to meet Wikipedia notability requirements." It's not a case of "Other stuff exist" either, I am actually basing it on Wikipedia guidelines. Please, give me time to improve refs, I did not expect such a rushed action for something that is basically a staple in top level football club articles. OscarL 07:59, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: Honestly, this one shouldn't even be a discussion. A top-flight Italian team which competed in a European competition easily garners SIGCOV to more than meet GNG.

  • Keep/Draftify as per above this is a top Italian team and one of the top European and world at the time so clearly warrants a season article. This article is clearly in need of improving, not deleting. However, as this is almost 20 years after the season, I don't understand the pushback by OscarLake to draftifying the article and improving it in draft space. Currently the article is a short lede, an inclusion of the ladder, and the squad. -- SuperJew ( talk) 15:11, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
The problem with draftifying an article that is (or should be) assumed to be notable enough is that it reduces the amount of editors who can help out with improvement. No one beyond the article creator is going to know about the draft's existence really. Also, I don't take kindly to one single editor undemocratically taking it off mainspace with no consensus-seeking discusisons beforehand. The nominator in question has gotten criticism for this. If you are draftifying at the speed and volume that the nominator is, then there will be a pushback from some editors. Communication and collaboration are important for the Wikipedia project, neither of which happened in this case. OscarL 16:36, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
I understand your point, and I would support having the article in the mainspace if it was a recent season, but as it's over 20 years ago, I don't think having it in mainspace encourages too many editors to work on it. Regardless I am against deleting it. Regarding the nominator, I'm not such a big frequenter of AfD, but after this, just today I came across a bunch of bad nominations by them, so I can understand. -- SuperJew ( talk) 05:47, 23 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Tiger versus lion

AfDs for this article:
Tiger versus lion (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Historically this has been the worst article on the English Wikipedia. It's been cleaned up quite a lot since it was last at AfD, but the clean-up only serves to point out that the subject and article is a WP:NOT violation, in this case original thought and indiscriminate collection of information. The article as a whole is largely WP:SYNTH, which falls under our understanding of original research. It take conclusions drawn from a variety of sources and tries to synthesize it into a consistent argument, while also discussing which side is favored. On the indiscriminate part: the history of observed fights and galleries are not organized in any coherent way, and there is no distinguishing criteria for what should be included.

Even if this meets GNG (which is debatable) the cleaned up article is still a massive WP:NOT violation, which based on the deletion policy is ground for removal from Wikipedia via deletion on its own ( WP:DEL14 and WP:DEL6.) I submit to the community that this is the best the article is ever going to look, and even in this state, it is not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia and is outside of scope, making deletion the only valid way to fix the problem. TonyBallioni ( talk) 07:11, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. As indicated by Tony, this page is miles better than it was at the time of the last AFD in 2019. That does not mean it is a suitable article, though. The article contains (in order) a set of opinions from biologists and animal trainers, a section simply indicating the two have/will/might live in the same area and thus might fight each other, and a section listing the historical interactions of the animals in captivity. Oh, and there's some pretty artwork at the end. There are no recorded instances of lions and tigers even interacting, let alone fighting, in the wild, and everything is either opinion or conjecture. In writing this I have briefly considered putting forward the idea of trimming it further and making it "a history of interactions between captive lions and tigers" but that would fail WP:CROSSCAT. In other words, we have an article that basically asks "lions and tigers are cool, who would win?" and then gives a few opinions and conjecture with no real substance. Primefac ( talk) 08:17, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. While there are most certainly parts of the article that should be cut or improved, the topic itself passes WP:GNG and WP:NOT. WP:OR / WP:SYNTH should indeed be removed, but the article is largely sourced from other parties, frequently as secondary sources, discussing the very topic throughout history, often with regard to the topics' history, which is precisely what this article covers. In direct response to the nomination statement, I submit that it's not yet in the best state it could be, as indeed not only can some of the criticisms be cleaned up at this point, but there are likely still further sources to compile here. A quick search, for example, reveals the Lion vs. Tiger entry in the popular children's series Who Would Win?. — siro χ o 08:26, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. I watch this article, I've helped clean up this article, I've argued about this before. "Who would win, animal 1 or animal 2" is a common topic and tiger-or-lion is just one of many permutations. The amount of times it has been brought up does not make it suitable for an encyclopedia article. The amount of SYNTH, conjecture, OR, and other problems this article is made of and attracts is laughable and frustrating. -- SilverTiger12 ( talk) 14:05, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The notability of this topic has not changed since it survived the previous AfD nominations, in which the existence of multiple reliable sources was demonstrated. WP:GNG is passed. Having a thirdfourth crack at deletion is starting to feel disruptive. The content (and perhaps the title) could be improved, but AfD is not cleanup. Barnards.tar.gz ( talk) 15:07, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    Considering how contentious the last two AfDs were, and the fact that most of the commentators in both were people who had nothing to do with the article (and that the second AfD was hit by the rather infamous Article Rescue Squadron), a third nomination, years after the last and with the article still showing the same issues of SYNTH/OR/etc, is not disruptive. SilverTiger12 ( talk) 16:13, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    Comment Just to expand on my reference to the previous AfD nominations, I'd like to point people to the subthread between Levivich and EEng in the "2nd nomination" discussion, where Levivich details many sources that directly cover the comparison of tigers and lions. Unlike the wall of text citations provided elsewhere, these are not articles which talk only about tigers, or only about lions. They are not only about hypothetical fights. Case in point is this comparison of genetics. Now, I'm fully on board with the complaint that the article is currently in a poor condition, but I absolutely see the WP:POTENTIAL in moving it to Comparison of lions and tigers and basing it on these sources. The fighting angle could be condensed to a single section, expanding with additional sections covering biological/genetic comparisons, political metaphor, representations in art, and so on. Barnards.tar.gz ( talk) 18:45, 20 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per siroχo, Barnards.tar.gz and 2A02:C7F:2CE3:4700:803F:4CC0:FA53:2D78. This article has been a part of English Wikipedia since October 2010 and has interwiki links to analogous entries in Arabic Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, Albanian Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, and Vietnamese Wikipedia. It is illustrated with 14 well-chosen entries from Commons and contains 57 extremely detailed inline cites, thus obviating complaints regarding insufficient sourcing. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:53, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    • And the most recent sister project to consider it for deletion, es.wiki, deleted it on the same grounds proposed here see es.wiki AfD. Just because other projects haven't cleaned it up yet is not grounds to keep it on en.wiki. The sourcing concerns are not given as rationale for deletion, nor is notability (though I do not think it is notable.)
      The concern given is that it is a WP:NOT violation that cannot be remediated and has not been remediated after 13 years and two different AfDs. This is the best the article has every looked, and it still falls outside of our scope and is unlikely to ever be improved to the point of not failing NOT. There are 14 reasons for deletion under WP:DELPOL, and this article satisfies at least two of them (DEL6 and DEL14.) So far, no one supporting inclusion has rebutted the arguments in favour of deletion on a policy basis. TonyBallioni ( talk) 00:00, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
      DEL6 is “Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources”. But the existence of reliable sources has been demonstrated. It’s a cleanup task to remove any unattributed or SYNTH material, not a deletion task. By all means apply TNT if necessary.
      DEL14 is “Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia”, but it’s not clear to me why this topic is not suitable for an encyclopedia. It’s a notable topic for which multiple reliable sources exist.
      By the way, I note there was an RfC which didn’t reach consensus to rename the article “Comparison of lions and tigers”, which is unfortunate because that would be a much better solution - this article shouldn’t be just about hypothetical fight situations. Barnards.tar.gz ( talk) 06:51, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
Having articles on other language wikis does not in any way demonstrate notability, nor does having been an article for a long time either. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 00:33, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Further comment: I went through a checked, and the SYNTH/OR is worse than I thought- only a fraction of the sources directly deal with lions & tigers coexisting and/or fighting in any meaningful manner, and the majority of those are rather sensationalist newspaper articles. Even if this article is somehow kept, I will likely gut it to remove the issue. Secondarily, I have doubts about the reliability of the majority of the sources (though I haven't checked them all yet). Thirdly, for everyone who argues that just because tiger vs lion has been mentioned many times: so has many other x vs y, who would win in a fight, where x and y are large animals. That doesn't provide GNG or encyclopedic content on any of side x vs y topics, and it doesn't here either. Good day. -- SilverTiger12 ( talk) 03:06, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Primefac Sorry for the repetitions. Because the whole thing is cumbersome, let me try to simplify what was in this article:

Historically, the comparative merits of the tiger versus the lion was a popular topic of discussion by hunters, naturalists, artists, and poets, and it continues to inspire the popular imagination in the present day. Lions and tigers have competed in the wild where their ranges have overlapped. They have also been pitted against each other in captivity, either as deliberate contests or as a result of accidental encounters.

  • Keep: I have added a couple of references showing critical reception of this film. As well as these, the intro to a 2009 festival showing said that "With his second feature (...) Tariq Teguia proves himself to be the most important new director in Algeria" [19]. More recently, the synopsis of a paywalled Journal of African Cinemas article (2016) claims "that Tariq Teguia's 2008 film "Inland" establishes a new frontier for North African cinema with the creation of a unique visual style that moves away from the thematic considerations of national cinema."

No evidence of a notable populated place here; the best source I could find was this which mentions a sheep camp at the base of a hill called Tah-chee.

  • Keep This appears to be part of the community of Blue Gap/Tachee, one of the 110 chapters of the Navajo Nation [21]. See also this Navajo Times article. [22] It's not the same exact community as Blue Gap, because in 1954, there was a school established at Tah Chee *and* a school at Blue Gap, that apparently later merged [23]. There are some historical notes about Tah Chee in A Diné History of Navajoland [24]. It's cited as a mission station (again separately from Blue Gap) of the Annunciation Indian Mission in the 1958 official Catholic directory. [25] And a 1985 article in Ethnic Forum notes that "Tah Chee" and "Tahchee" are variant spellings of the same name.-- Jahaza ( talk) 01:45, 4 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    According to the 1961 Navajo Yearbook the school at Tahchee had 25 students. [26] Robert Franklin Leslie visits circa 1967 and the "ancient" settlement has been abandoned by still nomadic Navajo herders.

  • leaning delete We really need a better way of handling the Navajo chapters than co-opting towns for them, because that's not what they are; they're more on the county level of governmental organization. As far as this specific spot is concerned, first, state road maps are a terrible source for GNIS. Looking through the aerials and topos, yes, there are buildings here, but they don't obviously interpret as something more than a ranch. Which takes me to the textual sources, where first of all we have the issue of disentangling the chapter from the possible settlement. And conversely, picking this point out as the central point of the chapter is not clear either, not when we are looking at potentially tens of thousands of acres. If we had something that strongly tied this point to the chapter facilities, I'd be likely to go for a "keep" result, but as it is I'm having trouble tying it all together.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. Kelley, Bill (1989-04-21). "Drug Story More Like Dirty Slush". Sun Sentinel. Archived from the original on 2021-06-30. Retrieved 2023-04-21.

      The film review notes: "Tropical Snow is that bleakest of low-budget entities -- an exploitation B- movie with a social conscience. ... Once Tavo and Marina ally themselves with Oskar, the risks of the trade and their own stupidity quickly bring them to a bad end. Tropical Snow is directed and acted with the sort of solemn incompetence that only the truly untalented can achieve. Even the sex scenes, which are surprisingly explicit, have a sad, desperate quality. Apart from Carradine, the actors are as unconvincing as the film is boring."

    2. Coto, Juan Carlos (1989-04-21). "Tropical Snow is topical but simplistic". Miami Herald. Archived from the original on 2023-04-21. Retrieved 2023-04-21 – via Newspapers.com.

      The film review notes: " Tropical Snow tells the story of Tavo (Nick Corri) and Marina (Madeleine Stowe), two Colombians who flee poverty in Bogota for the promised land of New York City. The film manages to address anxieties facing illegal aliens, but it doesn't translate them into powerful drama until the last 40 minutes. ... Writer-director Ciro Duran uses pat story conventions early on, and even an offensive cliche -- while Tavo and Marina are strolling through Bogota, two Colombian women slug it out in the street, apparently because hot-blooded Latin spitfires are supposed to do this. ... Tropical Snow owes an obvious debt to El Norte, the 1983 drama about a brother and sister who flee Guatemala for Los Angeles. The new film fails to match its predecessor's poetic strength -- until the end. Though topical, Duran's film sometimes seems as simplistic as the metaphor in his title."

    3. Mills, Michael (1989-04-23). "'Tropical' is glum, full of stereotypes". The Palm Beach Post. Archived from the original on 2023-04-21. Retrieved 2023-04-21 – via Newspapers.com.

      The film review notes: "Along with the movie's portrayal of hot-blooded Latinos-- every man seems to have only one thing on his mind-- there are other insensitive stereotypes. ... The three leads speak English (except for their peculiar habit of referring to New York as Nuevo York). Everyone else speaks Spanish-- just watch their lips-- that is overdubbed with English. The effect is disorienting. The best thing about Tropical Snow is that it's beautifully photographed. Eduardo Serra's cinematography gives everything, even the hillside shanty towns, a tarnished glow. This Bogota doesn't look like such a bad place, and that odd detail works at cross-purposes to the story."

    4. Lent (1989-10-18). "Tropical Snow". Variety. Vol. 337, no. 1. p. 30. ProQuest  1286063343.

      The film review notes: "In view of Colombia's war on local druglords, tropical becomes topical in this sluggish "exposé" on cocaine smuggling, helmed by Colombian filmmaker Ciro Duran. ... Tech credits are okay with attention paid to sleazy barroom atmosphere and hazy Bogota streets. Acting is also all right. Abundant nudity may hinder tv sales, which seems like the most obvious market, especially with current media focus on Colombia's cocaine connection. -Lent."

      The book notes: "Seen as a "topical" entry because the US and Colombia fought the cartels together, Cird Duran produced the saga of cocaine smuggling shot in Bogota. Noting that this was a fictitious story, it also claimed to be an everyday occurrence. Focused on two attractive youths who spend much screen time enjoying each other's bodies, they dream of going to the US to earn dollars for themselves and their families. Unable to obtain a tourist visa, a drug dealer promises them one if they will simply carry some cocaine to JFK airport for them. The scenes are graphic, boy and girl are made to swallow over a hundred units of the drug fitted into the cut finger of surgical rubber gloves. A gruesome process at best, they must pass the material within twenty-four hours of they will die. The handsome boy does, his girl serves time in a US prison, then is returned to Colombia."

Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company. p. 597. ISBN  0-89950-560-0. Retrieved 2023-04-21.

      The book notes: "In view of Colombia's attempted crackdown on druglords, this movie filmed in Bogotá and Barranquilla in 1986 is at least timely. Colombian couple Nick Corri and Madeleine Stowe want to leave their country for New York to find a better life. They are offered free passage by David Carradine if they will do him a little favor — smuggle a lot of cocaine into the States."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Tropical Snow to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

I'll place my original PROD reason here as I believe it's still valid.

Goodbye Volcano High. Therefore I believe that keeping this topic as just a mention in GVH's article is enough.

My original PROD was endorsed twice: once by Zxcvbnm mentioning that it fails WP:GNG which I agree with, and once more by QuicoleJR mentioning that there is no significant coverage, which I also agree with.

The PROD was contested six days after the original proposition by User:CJ-Moki, the author of the article, citing an inconclusive discussion on the talk page. I believe that this article should be deleted because there is zero coverage ‘‘about’’ it. There is only coverage about its controversy regarding the game that it is parodying, and therefore it is unsuitable for Wikipedia. Galo223344 ( talk) 22:39, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Little is mentioned as a Sigma Gamma Rho founder in The AJC in 2022, and her obituary is published by the LAT in 1992. A Butler University archive description states she "was one of the seven founding members of Sigma Gamma Rho and is considered the sorority's primary founder." Local news reports Butler University has a monument to the founders; the school paper reported honorary degrees for the founders in 2022; EBONY also reports this along with other historical events for the sorority. Beccaynr ( talk) 22:51, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    That's part of why I think she should be merged. One of the founders is of significant history, but I don't think it's enough for standalone. Star Mississippi 23:06, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    I haven't accessed the WP Library yet to check the Journal of Southern History reference, but Gregory S. Parks and Caryn Neumann, Lifting as They Climb: Race, Sorority, and African American Uplift in the 20th Century, 27 Hastings Women's L.J. 109 (2016) includes biographical information for Little (along with other founders) in fn 13; the law review could also support content in the Sigma Gamma Rho and Zeta Phi Beta articles.
    From my view, it seems possible to create a Founders section in the Sigma Gamma Rho article (perhaps as a subsection in the History section), with biographies of the founders, and Little listed first based on her being considered the primary founder, being listed first in a variety of sources, and having a sorority award named after her. Beccaynr ( talk) 00:49, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    Would make total sense to me. I don't know about the sorority award or honoree degrees, but that could be handled editorially.

Of course folks could find more , I'm just saying what if/do they need a full "article" for their professors, which is where I hope Wiki Ed folks can help Star Mississippi 02:53, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    A book now generally cited in the article, Black Greek-letter Organizations in the Twenty-First Century (University of Kentucky Press, 2008) has a full page biography of Little at p. 127 (which notes Little wrote the sorority pledge) and at pp. 125 - 126 includes contextual history of the sorority (the chapter is titled "Seven Schoolteachers Challenge the Klan"), and at pp. 128 - 133, biographical information of other founders, as well as further context and history about the sorority at pp. 133 - 134. I would also like to hear from Wiki Ed folks, because I think there is potential for expansion at Sigma Gamma Rho that could make inclusion of concise biographies for Little and other founders WP:DUE per WP:BIO1E.

  • Keep Parks (cited in the article) includes a page length biography. McClure (also cited) notes that the sorority was her "brain child." Also see the sources provided by User:Beccaynr in the comment above. I think establishing one of the "divine nine" and having secondary sources stating that fact, is sufficient for notability. -- Jaireeodell ( talk) 14:42, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • ( edit conflict) Leaning merge per WP:PAGEDECIDE, which includes: When creating new content about a notable topic, editors should consider how best to help readers understand it. Often, understanding is best achieved by presenting the topic on a dedicated standalone page, but it is not required that we do so; at times it is better to cover a notable topic as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context (and doing so in no way disparages the importance of the topic). Our notability guideline is a broader consideration than WP:GNG/ WP:BASIC, and includes context and what may best help readers. For this subject, she is known for her work with others to found the sorority, and secondary sources seem to present them as a group with similar depth of biographical information and context; for example, they have the same historical context, have been honored with a monument, and were awarded honorary degrees. While there are details that distinguish Little's role as a primary founder, drafter of the pledge, first president, etc, I think developing a Founders section or subsection in the main Sigma Gamma Rho article, along with adding relevant content to other parts of that article, provides the most contextual understanding of the topics, and per WP:SUMMARY, it may eventually make sense to create a standalone article for the founders, with a link and a summary paragraph in the main Sigma Gamma Rho article. For now, the content would first need to be developed to assess how to proceed. From my view, a permanent stub for Little is less helpful for readers than a redirect to an article with contextual significance. Beccaynr ( talk) 15:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep; subject was president and founder of a national organization still in existence. Article has been somewhat improved since nomination (has an image now). Penny Richards ( talk) 16:08, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as notability has been established in the above discussion per WP:GNG, and because many editors have helped improve the article, which was in poor shape at the time it was nominated for deletion and was clearly moved into mainspace prematurely. The main debate now seems to be whether or not this article should be merged into Sigma Gamma Rho, or if it's deserving of a standalone article. In the past, I have been skeptical about whether sorority founders really deserve their own standalone Wikipedia articles, but in this particular case, this is a huge international sorority with a history of over 100 years, and the primary founder who was the first president, wrote the pledge, and has the biennial award named after her, whose founding story is significant in historical context and who remained involved in sorority activities through much of her life, seems justified. (And equally, that founding story and the biographical history of the founders is a big enough topic that trying to cram it all into the main sorority page would probably be disproportionate relative to the rest of the history of the sorority, which is significant.) That said, it is indeed the case that the original founders as a group are known as the "Seven Pearls of Sigma Gamma Rho" and have coverage as a group (although it seems Mary Lou Allison (Gardner) (Little) had the most and is also recognized separately), so I would not be opposed if other members of this WikiEd course at Allen University (or other editors) were to decide to expand this article to include all seven founders; at that point, we could use redirects with the individual founder names to redirect to the Seven Pearls of Sigma Gamma Rho page. But right now, that article content does not exist, so it's fine to keep the Mary Lou Allison (Gardner Little) article as is. Cc: Ian (Wiki Ed) and Helaine (Wiki Ed) and course instructor Kazooch.

Was a recurring character (not main cast) in two notable television shows. However, notability is not inherited. What little coverage I can find is either not significant, not independant, or from an unreliable source.

Unable to find any significant coverage of the author to pass WP:GNG. Plenty of sites list him and his books like a bibliography and a few have a couple of sentences about the author but nothing coming close to "significant coverage."

There are reviews of his stories/books but nothing that would qualify for any of the criteria in WP:AUTHOR. Toddst1 ( talk) 15:07, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. The article needs a ton of work but the citations already listed prove notability with multiple reviews of his works in Publishers Weekly and Library Journal and the listing in Gale's Contemporary Authors. However, the citations already in the article barely scratch the surface of what's out there. A quick search turned up a ton more reviews of this author's work in places like Booklist, The Bookseller, Midwest Book Review, and many other places. And one review I found in The Bookseller, which I've now added to the article, called Barclay "One of the UK's most popular genre fantasy authors." As it states at WP:AUTHOR, notability is proved is a person "has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." Barclay easily meets this standard with his collective body of work as proved by being the subject of multiple reviews.-- SouthernNights ( talk) 19:28, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Okay that was sarcasm I gather. I went and looked up "citogenesis", which per Wiktionary is Wikipedia jargon: citogenesis (uncountable). (informal, Wikimedia jargon) A circular form of citation where various sources report each other." --Doncram ( talk, contribs) 21:15, 30 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • "Tikal Cacao Plantation" seems to be a red herring sourced to an unreliable source and inserted into the article a few years after it was created. This was clearly created in reference to the place also known as "Tetteh Quarshie cocoa farm" covered in the obviously-not-citogenesis book published by Taylor & Francis in 2011.

  • Keep. Maybe the article has been edited now? It doesn't appear to suffer from what is asserted above. It seems to be a museum, a public attraction, and the reasoning in essay (to which i contributed) wp:ITSAMUSEUM / wp:ITSAPUBLICATTRACTION applies. I don't see reason to completely distrust travel accounts such as:
It seems to be a legitimate thing, or to have been one (and once notable always notable), and by ITSAMUSEUM we should keep it. To include credible touristy-type information about what's there and why to visit it (but not museum opening times like is disallowed by wp:DIRECTORY), and to allow accumulation of other reliable information on this topic. --Doncram ( talk, contribs) 21:11, 30 March 2023 (UTC) reply

This article appears to be about an education initiative in Brazil. It is sourced only to what appears to be a press release The link is dead but an archive is available. The article itself is very poorly written as it appears to have been edited by editors with insufficient English language capability. My own searches for sourcing is hampered by having to rely on machine translation of Portuguese, but what I can find are just enrolment announcements. This project does not meet notability.

Single source, without enough information to pass WP:VERIFY. Was sent to draft, but returned to mainspace without improvement. I asked User:Folly Mox to take a look and see if they could improve the sourcing, and they did work on the article, but as they said on their talk page, the subject is a bit out of their area of expertise.

  • Oops – I misinterpreted the talk page request to improve the formatting of the citations, not to find additional sources. The article subject has got his own chapter subheading in the Ming Shi. The reason I didn't add any additional citations is because they'd all point to the same spot. I suspect I have access to the same versions of most of the standard histories as our Chinese language editors who cite using search strings instead of page numbers. It's actually quicker to look up that way, especially if the source is not famous enough to earn a modern punctuated edition.
    This person's actually notable enough to be covered by modern historians (Mx. Granger's links 2 and 3 above each provide significant coverage), but I claim that the people with biographies in the standard histories are all going to pass GNG. We may only have one surviving source describing their life, but it's been put together from various lost sources by professional historians, who considered them important enough to create space for those people's stories in the execution of their historiography. I have no reason to question their professional opinions, no matter how long they've been dead for. Folly Mox ( talk) 15:50, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

There’s is other coverages. The reason it was deleted in past was due to the confusion with “ArrDee” the UK rapper.
This one is AirDee from South Africa. He is one of the legendary producers in Africa and we feel he deserved a spot this time.

  • Delete and SALT this time as well. Contrary to what the person above said, all three nominations are for the same person, the South African producer/singer AirDee, as can be seen via mentions of his work with Locnville. This guy's articles have already been deleted twice because as a producer, he only ever appeared in the credit lists of other people's works, which is a curse that producers face. This time, his status as a behind-the-scenes and non-notable producer has not changed. He has since moved into creating his own music, but his one solo song so far has not attracted significant notice and has only been hyped at unreliable sites that reprint his management's promo announcements. This should also be salted to prevent yet another unneeded recreation of the article. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 19:26, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Another contested draft returned to mainspace without improvement. Zero in-depth sources from independent reliable secondary sources. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 11:58, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

I don't know if you're acquainted with football, but season by season articles for each major team (among the biggest in the world) is the standard. The fact that sourcing could improve does not detract from the fact that the Udinese season, just like all the other ones in existence, is notable by virtue of its subject. See here: "Individual season articles for top-level professional teams are highly likely to meet Wikipedia notability requirements." It's not a case of "Other stuff exist" either, I am actually basing it on Wikipedia guidelines. Please, give me time to improve refs, I did not expect such a rushed action for something that is basically a staple in top level football club articles. OscarL 07:59, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: Honestly, this one shouldn't even be a discussion. A top-flight Italian team which competed in a European competition easily garners SIGCOV to more than meet GNG.

  • Keep/Draftify as per above this is a top Italian team and one of the top European and world at the time so clearly warrants a season article. This article is clearly in need of improving, not deleting. However, as this is almost 20 years after the season, I don't understand the pushback by OscarLake to draftifying the article and improving it in draft space. Currently the article is a short lede, an inclusion of the ladder, and the squad. -- SuperJew ( talk) 15:11, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
The problem with draftifying an article that is (or should be) assumed to be notable enough is that it reduces the amount of editors who can help out with improvement. No one beyond the article creator is going to know about the draft's existence really. Also, I don't take kindly to one single editor undemocratically taking it off mainspace with no consensus-seeking discusisons beforehand. The nominator in question has gotten criticism for this. If you are draftifying at the speed and volume that the nominator is, then there will be a pushback from some editors. Communication and collaboration are important for the Wikipedia project, neither of which happened in this case. OscarL 16:36, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
I understand your point, and I would support having the article in the mainspace if it was a recent season, but as it's over 20 years ago, I don't think having it in mainspace encourages too many editors to work on it. Regardless I am against deleting it. Regarding the nominator, I'm not such a big frequenter of AfD, but after this, just today I came across a bunch of bad nominations by them, so I can understand. -- SuperJew ( talk) 05:47, 23 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Tiger versus lion

AfDs for this article:
Tiger versus lion (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Historically this has been the worst article on the English Wikipedia. It's been cleaned up quite a lot since it was last at AfD, but the clean-up only serves to point out that the subject and article is a WP:NOT violation, in this case original thought and indiscriminate collection of information. The article as a whole is largely WP:SYNTH, which falls under our understanding of original research. It take conclusions drawn from a variety of sources and tries to synthesize it into a consistent argument, while also discussing which side is favored. On the indiscriminate part: the history of observed fights and galleries are not organized in any coherent way, and there is no distinguishing criteria for what should be included.

Even if this meets GNG (which is debatable) the cleaned up article is still a massive WP:NOT violation, which based on the deletion policy is ground for removal from Wikipedia via deletion on its own ( WP:DEL14 and WP:DEL6.) I submit to the community that this is the best the article is ever going to look, and even in this state, it is not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia and is outside of scope, making deletion the only valid way to fix the problem. TonyBallioni ( talk) 07:11, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. As indicated by Tony, this page is miles better than it was at the time of the last AFD in 2019. That does not mean it is a suitable article, though. The article contains (in order) a set of opinions from biologists and animal trainers, a section simply indicating the two have/will/might live in the same area and thus might fight each other, and a section listing the historical interactions of the animals in captivity. Oh, and there's some pretty artwork at the end. There are no recorded instances of lions and tigers even interacting, let alone fighting, in the wild, and everything is either opinion or conjecture. In writing this I have briefly considered putting forward the idea of trimming it further and making it "a history of interactions between captive lions and tigers" but that would fail WP:CROSSCAT. In other words, we have an article that basically asks "lions and tigers are cool, who would win?" and then gives a few opinions and conjecture with no real substance. Primefac ( talk) 08:17, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. While there are most certainly parts of the article that should be cut or improved, the topic itself passes WP:GNG and WP:NOT. WP:OR / WP:SYNTH should indeed be removed, but the article is largely sourced from other parties, frequently as secondary sources, discussing the very topic throughout history, often with regard to the topics' history, which is precisely what this article covers. In direct response to the nomination statement, I submit that it's not yet in the best state it could be, as indeed not only can some of the criticisms be cleaned up at this point, but there are likely still further sources to compile here. A quick search, for example, reveals the Lion vs. Tiger entry in the popular children's series Who Would Win?. — siro χ o 08:26, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. I watch this article, I've helped clean up this article, I've argued about this before. "Who would win, animal 1 or animal 2" is a common topic and tiger-or-lion is just one of many permutations. The amount of times it has been brought up does not make it suitable for an encyclopedia article. The amount of SYNTH, conjecture, OR, and other problems this article is made of and attracts is laughable and frustrating. -- SilverTiger12 ( talk) 14:05, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The notability of this topic has not changed since it survived the previous AfD nominations, in which the existence of multiple reliable sources was demonstrated. WP:GNG is passed. Having a thirdfourth crack at deletion is starting to feel disruptive. The content (and perhaps the title) could be improved, but AfD is not cleanup. Barnards.tar.gz ( talk) 15:07, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    Considering how contentious the last two AfDs were, and the fact that most of the commentators in both were people who had nothing to do with the article (and that the second AfD was hit by the rather infamous Article Rescue Squadron), a third nomination, years after the last and with the article still showing the same issues of SYNTH/OR/etc, is not disruptive. SilverTiger12 ( talk) 16:13, 18 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    Comment Just to expand on my reference to the previous AfD nominations, I'd like to point people to the subthread between Levivich and EEng in the "2nd nomination" discussion, where Levivich details many sources that directly cover the comparison of tigers and lions. Unlike the wall of text citations provided elsewhere, these are not articles which talk only about tigers, or only about lions. They are not only about hypothetical fights. Case in point is this comparison of genetics. Now, I'm fully on board with the complaint that the article is currently in a poor condition, but I absolutely see the WP:POTENTIAL in moving it to Comparison of lions and tigers and basing it on these sources. The fighting angle could be condensed to a single section, expanding with additional sections covering biological/genetic comparisons, political metaphor, representations in art, and so on. Barnards.tar.gz ( talk) 18:45, 20 April 2023 (UTC) reply

    • And the most recent sister project to consider it for deletion, es.wiki, deleted it on the same grounds proposed here see es.wiki AfD. Just because other projects haven't cleaned it up yet is not grounds to keep it on en.wiki. The sourcing concerns are not given as rationale for deletion, nor is notability (though I do not think it is notable.)
      The concern given is that it is a WP:NOT violation that cannot be remediated and has not been remediated after 13 years and two different AfDs. This is the best the article has every looked, and it still falls outside of our scope and is unlikely to ever be improved to the point of not failing NOT. There are 14 reasons for deletion under WP:DELPOL, and this article satisfies at least two of them (DEL6 and DEL14.) So far, no one supporting inclusion has rebutted the arguments in favour of deletion on a policy basis. TonyBallioni ( talk) 00:00, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
      DEL6 is “Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources”. But the existence of reliable sources has been demonstrated. It’s a cleanup task to remove any unattributed or SYNTH material, not a deletion task. By all means apply TNT if necessary.
      DEL14 is “Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia”, but it’s not clear to me why this topic is not suitable for an encyclopedia. It’s a notable topic for which multiple reliable sources exist.
      By the way, I note there was an RfC which didn’t reach consensus to rename the article “Comparison of lions and tigers”, which is unfortunate because that would be a much better solution - this article shouldn’t be just about hypothetical fight situations. Barnards.tar.gz ( talk) 06:51, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
Having articles on other language wikis does not in any way demonstrate notability, nor does having been an article for a long time either. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 00:33, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Further comment: I went through a checked, and the SYNTH/OR is worse than I thought- only a fraction of the sources directly deal with lions & tigers coexisting and/or fighting in any meaningful manner, and the majority of those are rather sensationalist newspaper articles. Even if this article is somehow kept, I will likely gut it to remove the issue. Secondarily, I have doubts about the reliability of the majority of the sources (though I haven't checked them all yet). Thirdly, for everyone who argues that just because tiger vs lion has been mentioned many times: so has many other x vs y, who would win in a fight, where x and y are large animals. That doesn't provide GNG or encyclopedic content on any of side x vs y topics, and it doesn't here either. Good day. -- SilverTiger12 ( talk) 03:06, 19 April 2023 (UTC) reply

you linked to 4 random non-notable books. the last two look like those big, glossy-page ones that you would expect to find in an elementary school library. none of these establishes notability, these are fluff. ValarianB ( talk) 12:12, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
Punetor i Rregullt5, this chain of comments really does display a staggering lack of clue. First of all, do you actually know what this site is? You should really read WP:5 pillars, especially the first point. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not an exotic pet comparison guide or a fantasy fight compendium.
Why on earth are you referencing notability when talking about those sources? The notability of the source is irrelevant, what matters is if the source is reliable. Three of those books are literally elementary schooler level texts for children learning to read, how on earth are they suitable sources for an academic encyclopaedia article? 192.76.8.81 ( talk) 12:46, 21 April 2023 (UTC) reply
At this point brother, I couldn't care less if the article is deleted. Excuse my expression, but I can see why our generation is certainly failing; after all, what good does it bring to debate whether a tiger beats a lion, while you have a life to live and succeed?

Nominated this for deletion via PROD, but apparently it had already been AfD'd in 2005 and deleted. Think thats too long ago to G4. Sending to AfD instead. My rationale for the PROD, and now this AfD is: "Non-notable university club. Coverage is predominately local press and a novelty. Does not meet our standards for inclusion."

  • Keep: I have added a couple of references showing critical reception of this film. As well as these, the intro to a 2009 festival showing said that "With his second feature (...) Tariq Teguia proves himself to be the most important new director in Algeria" [19]. More recently, the synopsis of a paywalled Journal of African Cinemas article (2016) claims "that Tariq Teguia's 2008 film "Inland" establishes a new frontier for North African cinema with the creation of a unique visual style that moves away from the thematic considerations of national cinema."

No evidence of a notable populated place here; the best source I could find was this which mentions a sheep camp at the base of a hill called Tah-chee. Satellite views show what appears to be a cluster of ranching-type buildings, and topos do not show the name prior to 2011. – dlthewave ☎ 18:19, 3 April 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep This appears to be part of the community of Blue Gap/Tachee, one of the 110 chapters of the Navajo Nation [21]. See also this Navajo Times article. [22] It's not the same exact community as Blue Gap, because in 1954, there was a school established at Tah Chee *and* a school at Blue Gap, that apparently later merged [23]. There are some historical notes about Tah Chee in A Diné History of Navajoland [24]. It's cited as a mission station (again separately from Blue Gap) of the Annunciation Indian Mission in the 1958 official Catholic directory. [25] And a 1985 article in Ethnic Forum notes that "Tah Chee" and "Tahchee" are variant spellings of the same name.-- Jahaza ( talk) 01:45, 4 April 2023 (UTC) reply
    According to the 1961 Navajo Yearbook the school at Tahchee had 25 students. [26] Robert Franklin Leslie visits circa 1967 and the "ancient" settlement has been abandoned by still nomadic Navajo herders. More discussion of Tah-chee in this book [27], where circa the early 21st century it's being used as a summer settlement camp. [28] Jahaza ( talk) 02:16, 4 April 2023 (UTC) reply
  • leaning delete We really need a better way of handling the Navajo chapters than co-opting towns for them, because that's not what they are; they're more on the county level of governmental organization. As far as this specific spot is concerned, first, state road maps are a terrible source for GNIS. Looking through the aerials and topos, yes, there are buildings here, but they don't obviously interpret as something more than a ranch. Which takes me to the textual sources, where first of all we have the issue of disentangling the chapter from the possible settlement. And conversely, picking this point out as the central point of the chapter is not clear either, not when we are looking at potentially tens of thousands of acres. If we had something that strongly tied this point to the chapter facilities, I'd be likely to go for a "keep" result, but as it is I'm having trouble tying it all together.

I first saw this article when I was surfing the article about the film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever only to find the short description and the filmography about the actress. I prefer the information about this article should be other websites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
