Played 3 games for CS Concordia Chiajna and then retired in 2018 to become an account manager in Bucharest according to his LinkedIn page. I was unable to locate any coverage that would allow Asanache to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. The best that I can find are a very brief quote in Gazeta SV and a slightly longer quote in Liga 2. Quotes from Asanache himself do not count as significant coverage of him. Aside from these sources, all I can find are routine loan announcements.

Redirect to CS Concordia Chiajna if he played there, as nom suggests. Not enough for standalone article. Belichickoverbrady ( talk) 20:32, 14 August 2023 (UTC) reply
I wouldn't recommend redirecting as he isn't mentioned there. He also played for several other notable clubs, including ASC Oțelul Galați, so would prefer deleting rather than redirecting to one of his former clubs. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:36, 14 August 2023 (UTC) reply

This AfD was created by a now-banned user and subsequently deleted. I don't know anythin about that and only saw it because of the edit history of Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Albums and songs. What I do know is that I decided to look into the subject and see what I could uncover about it, and what I found was nothing. There were plenty of passing mentions, some of which implied the song's importance, but not much actual concrete evidence of it. The song isn't even mentioned on Irving Berlin's page, though it is listed on List of songs written by Irving Berlin. A redirect to the list page makes sense to me. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 21:21, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I found and have just now added two acessible sources on Google books, one of them with specific things to say about this song's importance. I also saw some promising hits on Google Scholar, but while the song appears to have been mentioned in the body of the articles, it wasn't in the abstract, and I couldn't get past the paywall. A Wikieditor with access to a university library and its JSTOR pass could get us more. Darkfrog24 ( talk) 23:44, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    I will give you that that is one solid paragraph (and the other a passing mention which isn't very useful). If those Google Scholar results come through then there could still be something here, but one good source (which I guess I must've missed, oops) isn't enough to change my mind just yet.

  • Speedy Keep The original AFD was not created by a "banned user", but created by a sockpuppet of a now-blocked "vandalism only" account. The AFD should have stayed deleted. We should not even be listing this. However ... It seems to have been a significant song. I've added the link from the US Santa Barbara Discography of Historical American Recordings, as well as a link to its listings at Library of Congress historical recordings Recorded Sound Research Center (16,626), the National Jukebox (16,441) and the Recorded Sound Section, Library of Congress (6,098). Maybe it could use a little extra editing, but UC Santa Barbara and multiple listings in the Library of Congress, make this a keeper. — Maile ( talk) 13:16, 9 August 2023 (UTC) reply

The result was delete‎. Participants effectively argued how this article subject does not meet notability guidelines such as WP:COMPOSER or WP:NMUSICOTHER. Tellingly, no additional work has been done on this article since the AFD nomination to correct its problems so I see no reason to relist this discussion. Liz Read!

I am not seeing how notability is met for this individual, much less how it was accepted at articles for creation with a draft sourced only to a sheet music store and his website. Why? I Ask ( talk) 21:05, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

WP:NMUSICOTHER are clearly met. Besides, all articles linked to the music store have their own ISBN. Thoyiqiwa ( talk) 05:33, 9 August 2023 (UTC) reply
All the contributions of Thoyiqiwa have been practically in the contested article, which they also created. - The Gnome ( talk) 11:44, 14 August 2023 (UTC) reply
The article is a translation from the original article, which is verified by further references and categorizations. Among other things, with the entry of the German National Library, where you are only included as an established and published author ( https://portal.dnb.de/opac.htm?method=simpleSearch&cqlMode=true&query=nid%3D1214670822). Thoyiqiwa ( talk) 05:11, 9 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Simply having published compositions and an entry in a library's database are not enough to established notability. Please note that the second point of WP:NMUSICOTHER means that he has to have notable compositions meaning that people have written articles about his music. Why? I Ask ( talk) 00:27, 10 August 2023 (UTC) reply
We are not talking about just any library, but the German National Library. The GNL "is the central archival library and national bibliographic centre for the Federal Republic of Germany. It is one of the largest libraries in the world. Its task is to collect, permanently archive, comprehensively document and record bibliographically all German publications".
Regarding the other point: It is sufficient if one criterion is met in order to prove notability. But even further criteria in other categories are also met: WP:COMPOSER item 5, WP:NMUSICOTHER item 1 and 2, WP:NALBUM item 1. Thoyiqiwa ( talk) 07:24, 10 August 2023 (UTC) reply
WP:NALBUM concerns albums; not musicians. Criterion #5 of WP:COMPOSER asks that our subject be "listed as a major influence or teacher of a composer, songwriter, or lyricist that meets the above criteria." Who might that "composer, songwriter, or lyricist" be? We have none. That leaves us with WP:NMUSICOTHER. Its criterion #1 is clearly DOA since classical music is anything but a "sub-culture" of music. Criterion #2 asks us to proffer "a number of notable melodies, tunes, or standards" our subject has composed. Yet, we find no such work in Wikipedia, the reason being none of them have been sufficiently notable for the encyclopaedia. - The Gnome ( talk) 11:44, 14 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Sources don't meet GNG as of now, but this is perhaps WP:TOOSOON as The Gnome points out. Also worth noting the creator of the article is a possible SPA. Belichickoverbrady ( talk) 20:35, 14 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Very much per The Gnome, as we wish his career trajectory well. But at this point—and with Thoyiqiwa promising to bring fresh sources to the article for four days but being unable actually to do so—the sources do not exist to support the basics of WP:ANYBIO or WP:BLPSOURCES.

Aamri2 ( talk · contribs), would you support a merge rather than deletion per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion? Cunard ( talk) 10:24, 13 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Yes, I'd support a merge, but there's so much information in the existing article. How much of it would you want to keep? Aamri2 ( talk) 16:50, 13 August 2023 (UTC) reply
It would be a selective merge to the article. To avoid undue weight issues, I think only a very small amount of content would be merged. Cunard ( talk) 22:23, 13 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Article about lawyer and former footballer (although I'm struggling to find proof that the lawyer is indeed the former footballer) which fails WP:GNG. It reads like a CV with promotional information from his employers and links to speaking engagements and an article he authored, but nothing that is significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. His footballing career might have received notice, but I can't find anything except database entries and routine coverage like match reports and squad listings. There are press releases [1] and [2] that cover his appointment to the board of FIFPro and as an arbitrator at the CAS, but they're not from independent sources (nor are they in-depth coverage).

BLP with no sign of passing WP:GNG or even WP:SPORTBASIC #5. Best Slovakian sources that I could find were MY Nitra and Piestansky Dennik, both of which only provide trivial coverage.

WP:BEFORE by Rosguill and myself shows no significant coverage in reliable sources beyond basic dictionary definitions. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 14:55, 1 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Searching now, I was able to come across this book [1], but am doubtful of its RS status, as it appears to present a wholly uncritical perspective on astrology writ large, making it a WP:FRINGE source. Somewhat damning is the absence of any books or Google Scholar results for phrases like "Midheaven in literature", which is where we would expect to see reliable secondary coverage of the relevance of astrological topics. signed, Rosguill talk 15:09, 1 August 2023 (UTC) reply

This is a likely vanity page (the pic is "own work", and Rmwalling is contributing to the article). The sources mostly go to trivial mentions and articles by non-staff contributors. There are several interviews, some of which are in reliable sources, but I'm not really sure that can establish notability by itself, which would require secondary sources.

  • Delete this unadulterated, exemplary piece of vanity, masquerading as a Wikipedia biography. The criteria demanded by WP:GNG are not met: There is a gaping void of sources that could support the subject's quest for fame. Yes, folks have zealously posted up an avalanche of links, yet their substance is more gaseous than any balloon can take:
We have texts written by our subject, e.g. here, here and here; corporate dialogue, e.g. here, to which one can only comment with "who cares?"; articles about something else entirely, in which our subject is name-dropped once e.g. here, here, or here if one goes for Italian; a few interviews -on which, as notability proofs see WP:INTERVIEWS, and note #d in WP:OR, e.g. here; and so on. We also have irrelevant thumb-suckers as this link. But no dead links, so we have something positive.

A list of CCP members would be too long to make a useful list ( WP:SALAT). The CCP has almost 100 million active members and Wikipedia is WP:NOTDATABASE. CCP membership is a good category but not a good topic for a list. SilverStar54 ( talk) 17:38, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nominator. This currently is an infinitely expandable list as noted.
-- A. B. ( talkcontribsglobal count) 17:54, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. You can imagine this being something like the example given in WP:LISTCRITERIA of List of Norwegian musicians, which is plainly on the face of it far too large a list to be comprehensive, but which remains manageable because it explicitly limits itself to only including Norwegian musicians who are individually notable. Even so, though, this list would be enormous, because virtually every important Chinese politician and a great many people in public life would be members of this list. What I think is even more important, though, is that their membership in the CCP is in many cases not the criterion on which their notability hangs (whereas many of the Norwegian musicians would not be notable if they were not musicians). In fact (following the advice at WP:LISTCRITERIA to ask "If this person/thing/etc. weren't X, would it reduce their fame or significance?"), it would be more notable for a highly successful Chinese politician to not be a member of the CCP! I also considered whether we should rename and narrow the scope of this page, but we already have a plethora of lists like Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, List of national leaders of the People's Republic of China, and Orders of precedence in China which are discrete versions of what this list would be if it were built out. Any missing subject areas can be covered with more specific list articles. - Astrophobe ( talk) 18:06, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Mayors are not "inherently" notable just for being mayors per se — the notability test for a mayor is not passed by minimally verifying that he exists, it's passed by writing and sourcing a substantial article about his political impact: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But this is literally "he is a mayor who exists, the end", which is not what's required — and even the Romanian interlang, while longer, still isn't actually doing what's required either, as the expanded content consists entirely of a smattering of background biographical information and his vote totals in his reelection campaigns rather than documenting anything he actually did in the job, so just translating that still wouldn't salvage this.

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Buddhism, and Korea. UtherSRG (talk) 11:54, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak delete - Jinpyo is a name used by other individuals later as well so that potentially obfuscates any results about this individual. I see a lot of search results mentioning this article's subject building, rebuilding, or expanding temples, but nothing that goes into any detail about the individual himself. However, sources may very well exist, but just in a way that I cannot access. I did find some potential books that I couldn't access that may or may not go into detail about this individual, and as an 8th-century Korean monk it's reasonable to assume that sources may exist in Korean that remain inaccessible to me due to a language barrier. However I can't argue that an article should be kept because I think reliable sources might exist that show notability, so until notability can be established I don't think there should be an article about this individual, not least of all because without sufficient sources there's no guarantee that the details in the article are even correct. If sources can be found, please ping me and I will be glad to reassess, but from what I can find WP:GNG isn't met. - Aoidh ( talk) 20:35, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Their basic name can make searching tough, but search in conjunction with member names or album titles, and non-English news articles are not too difficult to find. Meanwhile, even though the article has been waiting for sources for many years, that does not alleviate the need for a WP:BEFORE search that could have been done by the nominator. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 15:29, 11 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Clearly a POV fork of the article Operation Valuable and originally researched for the most part. There was no "Anglo-American invasion". Most reliable sources describe it as a covert paramilitary operation to topple a regime. The only source (a source of questionable academic value) which called it an "invasion" is this source and probably some other tabloids and blogs like this one.

  • Keep Operation Valuable was the only British operation to last until 1954. It was part of the invasion, during which the Americans conducted two other operations: Operation OBOPUS/FIEND and Operation Economic Warfare and also it was considered a covert invasion if we want we can change it to another name but deleting it would be pointless Christopherschweinsteiger ( talk) 11:45, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Hello I have looked at the whole discussion here and also had a look at what and I also agree that it is not a POV fork, Operation Valuable is only added here as a section on this, I have also researched and read that this operation is only the which was British and there were 2 more operations so the American was part of the invasion

Delete This is the only album by the group (whose page also needs a lot of cleanup) with an article, and it doesn't present any information beyond a tracklist that otherwise justifies it. A mention on the band's page is probably enough. Peribirb ( talk) 06:30, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Way back in the dark wikiages of 2006, Wikipedia's approach to the notability of albums was of the "any album released by a notable artist or band is inherently notable regardless of sourcing" — but that was long ago kiboshed, and has been replaced with having to get the album over WP:GNG in its own right. This album doesn't meet the stricter standards of 2023 at all, and in fact by the standards of 2023 even the band's notability is more questionable than it would have been by 2006 standards.

  • Comment: is the claim of lack of significant coverage because no coverage exists, or because you couldn't find it online? This is someone who would likely be covered in West Virginia newspapers during the 1980's—presumably the Charleston Gazette and Charleston Daily Mail, possibly others, such as the Huntington Herald-Dispatch, Parkersburg News, Wheeling Intelligencer—of which very few issues are available online (for example, Newspapers.com has the Daily Mail up to 1977, including some years of the Sunday Gazette-Mail, but none of the others, and no West Virginia newspapers of note during the 1980s; the Google News Archive seems to have only the Point Pleasant Register—a small town paper—from 1986 to 2004). But it's quite likely that these papers would have covered "Miss West Virginia 1984", and even more likely that they would have mentioned her death or the governor naming her a "Distinguished West Virginian" a few years later. Have you searched for coverage in likely sources, or was this limited to Google searches and online newspapers? P Aculeius ( talk) 14:03, 25 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ P Aculeius - He's doing a mass run through of various pageant contestants. He has nominated 9 beauty pageant articles in the last 3 days. I do not believe all of these nominations could have possibly been researched properly and I think it's asking a lot of people interested in this subject to go through this many articles at once. KatoKungLee ( talk) 03:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
I admit to having my doubts as to the notability of national beauty pageant contestants (as opposed to winners, or people who first came to public attention through pageants). But doubts aren't enough to determine notability, IMO, and I've seen many more articles nominated for deletion that shouldn't have been if a thorough search for coverage had been made, than I have articles for which there really was no justification.
In this case, I strongly suspect there's local newspaper coverage of some kind, but I also know that there are very few West Virginia newspapers from the 20th century available online. I do know there are archives besides the ones I have access to, and of course various libraries have these papers on microfilm, but they're not very easy to search if you don't know the exact dates you need. It seemed unlikely that the nominator would have searched them, but it was worth asking. It's technically the responsibility of the person nominating articles for deletion to show that significant coverage does not exist or is unlikely to exist. It's not the responsibility of those opposing the nomination to find coverage, although it nearly always works out that way.
If the nominator hasn't looked for coverage in the sources most likely to provide it, then I think this nomination should fail—along with other similar nominations if the nominator didn't search for sources other than on Google. There's a world of print sources that simply aren't available online, and it's not sufficient to report that online news sources don't provide coverage for events of local or regional interest from over thirty years ago. P Aculeius ( talk) 03:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
I searched beyond google, to be clear. Let'srun ( talk) 04:03, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Also, news doesn't equate to notability. Let'srun ( talk) 04:04, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
News verifies facts that make people notable; the extent of news coverage is what SIGCOV is about. And the relevant question isn't whether "any sources other than Google" were searched—it's what sources were searched?. Since we know reliable sources that are not widely available or available at all online exist, and probably include coverage of the subject of this article, the article cannot be fairly deleted without checking those sources. P Aculeius ( talk) 04:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • I searched all sources I had available. Fair point regarding the coverage of newspapers on newspapers.com and Google, but even so that would still make her fall into WP:BLP1E. I also could not find any coverage of her receiving the Distinguished West Virginian award, and it does not appear to be sourced in the article as is. Let'srun ( talk) 03:46, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
WP:BLP1E explicitly states that it only applies to living persons, or to persons who have recently died. Pennington died in 1988, so this policy clearly does not apply. Different standards apply to the notability of people who have been deceased for a considerable amount of time. The policy also specifically refers to people notable for only a single event; being named a "Distinguished West Virginian" by the governor would presumably be a notable event in addition to her being named "Miss West Virginia" and representing the state in a national pageant.
The fact that you couldn't find coverage of this is irrelevant if there are likely to be reliable sources that would verify it, and again—if you didn't review West Virginia newspapers (specifically Charleston newspapers, IMO, given both where Pennington was from and the governor's involvement) from 1988 (or local coverage of the pageant; there was likely some mention of Miss West Virginia prior to or following the pageant), then WP:BEFORE has not been satisfied. The fact that these papers may not be available online is irrelevant.
It may also be possible to contact the governor's office and find out whether there is a list of "distinguished West Virginians" named in past years, or a reference that might mention them (for example, the West Virginia Blue Book for 1989 might mention such recognition). The offices of the Gazette might have an index mentioning people and events by name, topic (awards or proclamations by the governor), or date. At the very least I would expect an obituary to verify the date of Pennington's death, and perhaps fill in some details; and it's likely that there'd be a short news story on or around the same date, since clearly her death at a young age came to the governor's attention. Unless sufficient information can be found to suggest that any of the facts mentioned in the article are hoaxes—i.e. a diligent search of sources that ought to mention them turns up nothing, meaning that the sources that would mention them, if any, have been identified and searched—this nomination should fail. P Aculeius ( talk) 04:13, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
I checked the blue book before; it doesn't state such recognition. Let'srun ( talk) 18:13, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Presumably acts of the governor are recorded somewhere, and as stated above, there should be newspaper coverage. The fact that the Blue Book doesn't mention it doesn't tell us that it didn't occur. Perhaps the thing to do would be to find out what was done in some other instance of the governor naming someone a "Distinguished West Virginian" and then figure out where—besides the newspaper—it was recorded—or to ask the Governor's office what would be done if someone were named a "Distinguished West Virginian" today. That might tell us where to look, assuming the process hasn't changed since 1988. P Aculeius ( talk) 21:50, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep - We must be careful to avoid WP:SBEXT. Newspapers.com does not have any West Virginia newspapers from 1984 on their website - See here. This is important as not only do we not have that, we don't have footage of any local television or radio broadcasts either, which would be the main sources of coverage. This is also pre-internet, so there will be little there. A lack of access to sources is different from not having any sources. There is some coverage on her here 1 and with her winning the pageant, being awarded an award from the governor of West Virginia and passing away unexpectedly at a young age, I expect more coverage to exist as it's an interesting story.

For a full explanation, see my talk page. A tl;dr version is that I went through a long WP:BEFORE search initially hoping to get rid of this page's reliance on primary sources, found one which might count toward satisfying notability guidelines, and a ton of others which don't due to being primary, not independent, or non-significant coverage of the subject. No prejudice against redirection if a good target is found ( University of Waterloo is currently not) or against keeping if adequate sources are found. ~ UN6892 t c 04:40, 1 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Despite what the name suggests, this appears to be a WP:FANCRUFTy, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and largely unsourced list of ... "themes and motifs" in the Harry Potter series, rather than the in-depth behind-the-scenes info and critical analysis you would expect — a stark contrast from other "Music of..." articles such as Music of Star Wars, Music of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Music of The Lord of the Rings film series. Unless this article is nuked and rewritten into a well-developed article similar to the other three I mentioned, this trivial list of themes should not have its own article.

  • Delete. No standalone notability under WP:NFILM. I don't think it's obvious that we should redirect this to Helen (actress); why not any other notable actor who was involved here? I think it's much better to have nothing here, rather than a redirect, per WP:R#DELETE#10: [A redirect should be deleted] if the redirect could plausibly be expanded into an article, and the target article contains virtually no information on the subject. To me, it's quite plausible that someone digs up some obscure reviews or other sources on this film and writes an article out of them. Redlinks encourage article creation, or so we assume.

Silver seren, I couldn't find any good sources online. Le Parisien looks like a start, could you access the entire L'Alsace article? I couldn't see significant coverage and it is also local coverage of an event in Mulhouse. The tournament is at challenger 5 level, which I believe means a top prize of $5,000 and it is aimed at younger athletes. TSventon ( talk) 09:12, 28 July 2023 (UTC) reply
$5K may seem meagre to outsiders, but that's the reality of squash. There's orders of magnitude difference between prize money in squash and for example tennis. Low money doesn't mean it's not a significant tournament in the professional world tour. Which BTW I think it's tremendously unfair to these superb athletes.

  • Delete The only independent coverage of her I can find - already quoted above by keep !voter - clearly fails WP:YOUNGATH. No problem with re-creation once she becomes notable, but as of yet, she clearly fails WP:GNG, and winning a professional tournament - especially one with a prize of only $5k - means nothing. SportingFlyer T· C 13:04, 1 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Hi, as explained above, the prize money means nothing. Prize money in squash is ridiculously low. This is a major tournament. Dr. Vogel ( talk) 14:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment More sources that discuss the subject have been added. Dr. Vogel ( talk) 15:11, 1 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    One of which was a brief mention from the French Squash Federation and the other of which was an interview from the same organisation, which still unfortunately doesn't count towards WP:GNG. This may just be WP:TOOSOON. SportingFlyer T· C 16:34, 1 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Those are sources written about the subject. And they join the various other sources that talk directly about the subject and consist of prose that gives information about her biography. And there are more, e.g. found by @ Silver seren, which we can't access due to paywalls.
    I think WP:TOOSOON would apply if, for example, this athlete had had a brilliant junior career, but had yet to win a senior professional tournament.
    That is not the case here. This athlete has won a senior professional tournament, and is in fact the youngest European, male or female, to ever achieve that, as some of the sources discuss.
    It's remarkable that there are several sources written about her, given the low coverage that squash gets because it's not on TV. And even more remarkable for a female athlete.
    Those unfamiliar with squash may not know about the comparatively lower coverage because it's not on TV. And not being on TV also means smaller prize money. Things need to be taken in context.
    And there's also the common sense and better off points made by @ Frank Anchor and @ Johnbod. Dr. Vogel ( talk) 01:17, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    She's a young athlete who hasn't been covered in any non squash-related coverage, as far as I can tell. All but one source currently in the article has some sort of problem with demonstrating notability - not independent of the subject or simple links to events she's played in. The only possibly good source in the article for notability is the Le Parisien article. If she keeps it up and there's more coverage, she's eligible, but unfortunately after a big brouhaha - if I can invoke a little French - over sports stubs we no longer keep sports stubs based on database entries and non-independent sources. SportingFlyer T· C 09:00, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    I don't know what you mean - there are multiple sources cited in the article, where multiple authors from multiple different organisations have written about the subject. And WP:ATHLETE only requires 1. Dr. Vogel ( talk) 13:33, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    NSPORT requires GNG to be met, which means multiple SIGCOV IRS sources. SPORTSBASIC requires at least one source to be cited in the article. JoelleJay ( talk) 00:11, 3 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, Baltayan does not pass GNG. The fact that Squash is a relatively unpopular sport that few watch is an explanation as to why she is not notable, not a reason for why the article should be kept. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 12:48, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    That's not the point, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. My point is that, despite squash receiving far less coverage than say for example tennis, this player has been the subject of multiple pieces.

Preliminary WP:BASIC WP:BEFORE check did not find significant independent coverage in reliable sources in the perspective of our guidelines WP:NCORP, WP:GNG and WP:ORGIND and I don't believe this company is notable enough to have an entry here. WP:INHERITORG clearly shows association with notable people do not implicitly make it notable by association. Sources must directly cover the article subject in question. Graywalls ( talk) 23:20, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Despite the insistences of the nominator (in other recent AfDs), there is no reason to ignore music expertise in assessing the encyclopedic value of music-related articles, and so WP:MUSIC's sense of an important indie label applies here. Arena Rock certainly qualifies as one of them, and their roster (of several dozen important artists) is of substantial importance to telling the story of independent rock music in the 2000s. NOTINHERITED, I maintain as I have elsewhere, is a red herring; labels are only notable for releasing notable music, and for no other reason! There are no WP:V issues in demonstrating the roster, and the article has some sourcing to boot; there's even a category for this label, complementing the list and helping serve the Wiki's information-provision function by interlinking the bands that share this label (which can't be done any other way than through a label list or label category).

  • Comment Policy based arguments are encouraged and these run of the mill articles are why notability guidelines exist.

Graywalls ( talk) 02:46, 25 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment again there's even a category for this label created by none other than this single purpose that edited for about two years only about things related to ARRCO.

Graywalls ( talk) 19:46, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • I don't like promotional editing, but it is irrelevant to determining notability or encyclopedic importance. Lots of people who turn out to be notable write their own articles; it's lamentable, but sometimes produces good ends, and a commonsense category listing is a good end. Certainly, this is a record label I'd heard of before I even started editing here, so this is not a case of me being "hoodwinked" by some promotional account.

  • Delete. It is true that not every company will have public investigations of illegal conduct associated with it, and there are about 7 English language news articles about this incident, but I feel I need to again emphasise there are differences between a topic that is newsworthy and one that would be notable under our guidelines. Reading those articles, I think the one that is the closest to being considered significant coverage would be the Gulf News (insofar as it is even possible to say any one of them is the "closest") and I don't think there are two consecutive sentences that would meet the commentary, analysis, discussion that we would expect from a source used to establish notability, under the GNG or basic criteria of any of our SNGs. Admittedly, there are also Arabic news articles, when searching for شركة الاتحاد العقارية, numbering roughly a gross, which is significantly more than the 84 English language news articles I get for "Union Properties" PJSC, and I am not sufficiently literate in the language to perform more than a cursory review, but of the roughly a dozen I have looked at, the contents are the textbook "standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage" like much of the English language coverage, which does not exactly engender confidence that qualifying coverage exists. I have serious questions whether it truly is possible to improve the article. Perhaps there are older, offline sources. Even then, that raises the question, whether there is any content currently in the article worth salvaging. Reading the actual article under discussion, there seems to be very little encyclopedic content, and one has to wonder if one would not be better served, should one find the sources, by starting entirely afresh.

  • Keep. NCORP has a high standard for independence (not a concern in this case), but it doesn't establish a particularly high standard for depth of coverage. I'm basing this largely on WP:CORPDEPTH, in particular this: [Appropriate] coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization. I think the sources we have do go significantly beyond "brief mentions and routine announcements", particularly with regards to financial misconduct investigations (e.g. AP, Al Jazeera). There is no equivalent to BLP1E for companies, and thus, the sources we have are more than sufficient for establishing notability under NCORP, even if the appropriate sources relate to only one event. Of course Wikipedia is not a newspaper, but there is enough depth of coverage here to build an article beyond a permastub; another criterion from WP:CORPDEPTH. Other aspects of WP:ORGCRIT don't seem particularly contentious; there's coverage in multiple (check) reliable (check) secondary (check) sources that are independent of the subject (check). I don't see any other issues. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 19:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Fails the criteria of WP:NSCHOLAR. Specifically fails Criterium 1 - the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates. (Google Scholar doesn't indicate high citation rates). Lesser administrative posts (provost, dean, department chair, etc.) are generally not sufficient to qualify under Criterion 6 alone.

Here is a notice from 2022, which does not appear to be on Wordpress. However, In much of the world, hosting official webpages on free hosting websites like Wordpress is perfectly normal, and that seems to be what the University of Jaffna or the particular department is doing in this case. The relevant guideline should therefore be something like WP:BLOGS: is this credibly the University of Jaffna's website being hosted on Wordpress, and is the University of Jaffna credible on this issue? To my mind the answer is yes on both counts. - Astrophobe ( talk) 17:31, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The fact he was founding professor of chemistry and head of the chemistry department at the University of Jaffna strongly suggests he held an established chair, which meets the criteria of WP:NACADEMIC #5: The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon. (Italics mine). -- Necrothesp ( talk) 12:35, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: The nomination rationale is at odds with the definition of WP:NSCHOLAR in multiple important ways. The nominator writes that the article subject "Fails the criteria of WP:NSCHOLAR. Specifically fails Criterium 1". The section that defines NSCHOLAR says: "Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable" (emphasis in the original). It is fully expected that many notable academics will not meet any number of the criteria in NSCHOLAR. Failing to meet a criterion under NSCHOLAR is not grounds for deletion; if just one of the criteria is satisfied, then the subject has presumed notability. Discounting notability because of their google scholar hits is a particularly bad misreading of WP:NSCHOLAR, because there is a caution specifically against reliance on Google Scholar in the guideline itself, at Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Citation_metrics. In this case, with an academic who would have written mostly in offline sources, maybe not in English, before the internet age, who does not have a google scholar profile, of course google scholar will show low numbers of citations compared to contemporary academics publishing online in English. In light of that, Necrothesp's point looks correct to me. Criterion 5 specifically acknowledges that the particular practice of being a "named chair" is culturally and temporally quite specific, but the motivation for this criterion is that universities regularly have internal mechanisms for signaling which of their faculty they believe are highly notable for their academic work, so that we can capture that kind of notability on Wikipedia. The page subject clearly received numerous such acknowledgements of notability, from being the founding chair of the department and dean of the science faculty, being credited by the university and in the news as a pioneer in the department and of Sri Lankan chemistry generally, and being the subject of a named lectureship and a student award. The nominator has responded above that nearly all of these should be discounted because they are not properly independent of the article subject. The lack of independent sources would be a concern for demonstrating notability under WP:GNG, which I would agree is not met. But meeting NSCHOLAR is sufficient for presumed notability, separate and apart from GNG. Regarding simple statements of fact ("there was a lecture named after this academic"), it is perfectly acceptable to use a university's own declaration of the lecture series. Unless there is serious reason to suspect that the University of Jaffna is fabricating the lectureship, the award, the department chair position, the dean position, and so on (is there any such reason for doubt?), this is a perfectly acceptable use of a source that is not independent of the subject of the article. Even if it were a primary source published by the article subject himself, WP:PRIMARYSOURCE says that "Primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia", but "only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts". This aren't even primary sources, so I don't see any issue with using them to make statements of fact. All of that said, !voters should ask themselves: what would a Sri Lankan chemist of the 1980s have to do to be classed as notable? Unless someone can cast serious factual doubt on the existence of this person or the University of Jaffna's credibility in describing the positions he held and the honours he was given, the subject of this article has all the traces that we associate with academic notability. - Astrophobe ( talk) 17:23, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Lack of significant independent coverage on the entity "Hush Records" in depth such that it satisfies WP:NCORP. Though there has been some editors naming WP:NBAND #5 as the basis of recording company notability, there's no consensus supporting such application, but if it exists, linking to such discussion is encouraged.

  • Apologies for lack of brevity. I cannot find a way to access archives of The Oregonian beyond headlines, which is probably the most likely source of coverage. Here's some sigcov via Proquest that might not quite meet CORPDEPTH.
    1. [18] Hush Records is a Portland record label known for its quiet and soothing, but artistically interesting music. The label has a showcase on Saturday at ACME. Highlights include...
    2. [19] In February, Velella Velella signed with Portland's respected Hush Records, home of top-shelf indie rock artists such as Decemberists, Norfolk & Western, Kind Of Like Spitting, Laura Gibson and Corrina Repp. Hush is re-releasing V. Velella's 2005 triumph, "Bay of Biscay," with national distribution in May. It's a flexible deal ...
    3. [20] One of the most intriguing is Graves, a one-man band who has just released a new CD on acclaimed Portland, Ore., label Hush Records....Graves' new CD, "To Sur With Love," is more experimental, ranging from avant-rockers closer to Tom Waits to ballads that may remind listeners of other Hush Records groups such as the Decemberists or Norfolk And Western.
I have followed this label in the past, and it has a documented influence on the Portland music scene and the broader indie music scene. Most of the documentation just happens to be in articles about artists and releases. We don't really have a standard process (other than the blunt instrument of merging) for moving otherwise-notable topics away from corp/org articles into broad concept articles that are less promotional in nature. But, the encyclopedia would have a clear gap without covering it, so in absence of keep consensus I would strongly suggest a merge to something like Music of Oregon and maybe a bit more merged also to Indie music scene or a better target if one can be found, it might even be worth starting an Indie music scene of Portland, Oregon just as an ATD. I'm hopeful that someone has access to The Oregonian archives though to bypass the difficult decisions. — siro χ o 04:38, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Question I am just curious how a presumption can be made about the significance of coverage without having read the whole article. An extensive independent reporting and analysis on the article subject itself is the key which we can not assume by just looking at the first few lines. For the purpose of evaluating WP:MULTSOURCES, are those sources all from unrelated publishers and different authors? Graywalls ( talk) 06:04, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
I'm not precisely sure what you're asking so I will give the best answers I can. First, for the 3 sources I provided, those I was able to see the article in question, and they are from three different newspapers from three different cities. Second, I cannot see any historical archives from a different news publication, The Oregonian, which I believe is likely to have more coverage of this label. Thirdly, there also is a lot more short coverage about the label in various news articles that might help with GNG but do not qualify for NORG. I hope this answers your question. — siro χ o 06:23, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Despite the nominator's claim in the nomination, and as I have said elsewhere, there is no reason to ignore WP:MUSIC #5 here, and this is yet another example of a Portland-based record label being picked off. I doubt any Portland-based labels meet NCORP, but I don't think they should have to, for the good of encyclopedic coverage of music. I've already made this case in like 10 previous AfDs in the past couple weeks, and it's fatiguing. Chubbles ( talk) 05:17, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Comment Just as I invited in the AfD argument, please link to well participated talk pages and RFCs that suggest there's a broad community support to apply NMUSIC #5 criterion for the purpose of evaluating record labels. I made good faith attempt to search for this and I haven't been able to locate it myself. Anyone make any argument based on personal convictions based but that doesn't support there's a community consensus in favor of that view. Graywalls ( talk) 06:10, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
I did this at my talk page, at your request. Go and look at old Record Label AfDs. Sure community consensus can change. You seem to acknowledge that policy does acknowledge NMUSIC#5, and you are therefore trying to change policy at WP:N. That's fine, but please don't make the bad-faith assumption that Chubbles, a very long time music contributor and AfD participant, doesn't know what he's talking about. 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 10:40, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
I am only acknowledging that some editors have been making the argument even though I find NMUSIC 5 is absolutely irrelevant to notability of record label companies. Graywalls ( talk) 05:35, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep The fact that two notable real-world wrestlers have commented on Eddy, going so far as to attribute their moves to him, is demonstrative of real-world notability and the character's cultural impact. The sources criticising Eddy's controls, although perhaps individually limited in depth, when taken as a whole show Eddy's impact on gaming culture as a character associated with button mashing and gimmicky gameplay. There also seems to be offline sources discussing Eddy's association with capoeira. For example, Jesper Juul discusses in Half-real: video games between real rules and fictional worlds (2005) Eddy as an example of a character that only exists in a "fictional world", but uses the "real rules" of capoeria in combat. (Disclaimer: I was unable to access that source, but the example is cited in this journal article here. Embodying Brazil: An ethnography of diasporic capoeira (Delamont, Stephens & Campos 2017) discusses how "the capoeira men we have known since 2003 are of a generation for whom it was the video game Tekken 3, which first appeared in 1997 featuring an African-Brazilian hero, Eddy Gordo" that drew them to capoeira.

KatoKungLee ( talk) 00:42, 29 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    All of the coverage appears to be pretty routine and is a case of BLP1E being the winner of a statewide pageant. It isn't sustained, and as such doesn't rise up to the standards needed to keep just because sources exist. WP:LOTSOFSOURCES is not a reason to keep any article.

This AfD was created by a now-banned user and subsequently deleted. I don't know anythin about that and only saw it because of the edit history of Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Albums and songs. What I do know is that I decided to look into the subject and see what I could uncover about it, and what I found was nothing. There were plenty of passing mentions, some of which implied the song's importance, but not much actual concrete evidence of it. The song isn't even mentioned on Irving Berlin's page, though it is listed on List of songs written by Irving Berlin. A redirect to the list page makes sense to me.

Thoyiqiwa ( talk) 05:11, 9 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Simply having published compositions and an entry in a library's database are not enough to established notability. Please note that the second point of WP:NMUSICOTHER means that he has to have notable compositions meaning that people have written articles about his music. Why? I Ask ( talk) 00:27, 10 August 2023 (UTC) reply
We are not talking about just any library, but the German National Library. The GNL "is the central archival library and national bibliographic centre for the Federal Republic of Germany. It is one of the largest libraries in the world. Its task is to collect, permanently archive, comprehensively document and record bibliographically all German publications".
Regarding the other point: It is sufficient if one criterion is met in order to prove notability. But even further criteria in other categories are also met: WP:COMPOSER item 5, WP:NMUSICOTHER item 1 and 2, WP:NALBUM item 1. Thoyiqiwa ( talk) 07:24, 10 August 2023 (UTC) reply
WP:NALBUM concerns albums; not musicians. Criterion #5 of WP:COMPOSER asks that our subject be "listed as a major influence or teacher of a composer, songwriter, or lyricist that meets the above criteria." Who might that "composer, songwriter, or lyricist" be? We have none. That leaves us with WP:NMUSICOTHER. Its criterion #1 is clearly DOA since classical music is anything but a "sub-culture" of music. Criterion #2 asks us to proffer "a number of notable melodies, tunes, or standards" our subject has composed. Yet, we find no such work in Wikipedia, the reason being none of them have been sufficiently notable for the encyclopaedia. - The Gnome ( talk) 11:44, 14 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Article about lawyer and former footballer (although I'm struggling to find proof that the lawyer is indeed the former footballer) which fails WP:GNG. It reads like a CV with promotional information from his employers and links to speaking engagements and an article he authored, but nothing that is significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. His footballing career might have received notice, but I can't find anything except database entries and routine coverage like match reports and squad listings. There are press releases [1] and [2] that cover his appointment to the board of FIFPro and as an arbitrator at the CAS, but they're not from independent sources (nor are they in-depth coverage).

This is a likely vanity page (the pic is "own work", and Rmwalling is contributing to the article). The sources mostly go to trivial mentions and articles by non-staff contributors.

  • Delete this unadulterated, exemplary piece of vanity, masquerading as a Wikipedia biography. The criteria demanded by WP:GNG are not met: There is a gaping void of sources that could support the subject's quest for fame. Yes, folks have zealously posted up an avalanche of links, yet their substance is more gaseous than any balloon can take:
We have texts written by our subject, e.g. here, here and here; corporate dialogue, e.g. here, to which one can only comment with "who cares?"; articles about something else entirely, in which our subject is name-dropped once e.g. here, here, or here if one goes for Italian; a few interviews -on which, as notability proofs see WP:INTERVIEWS, and note #d in WP:OR, e.g. here; and so on. We also have irrelevant thumb-suckers as this link. But no dead links, so we have something positive.

A list of CCP members would be too long to make a useful list ( WP:SALAT). The CCP has almost 100 million active members and Wikipedia is WP:NOTDATABASE. CCP membership is a good category but not a good topic for a list. SilverStar54 ( talk) 17:38, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nominator. This currently is an infinitely expandable list as noted.
-- A. B. ( talkcontribsglobal count) 17:54, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. You can imagine this being something like the example given in WP:LISTCRITERIA of List of Norwegian musicians, which is plainly on the face of it far too large a list to be comprehensive, but which remains manageable because it explicitly limits itself to only including Norwegian musicians who are individually notable. Even so, though, this list would be enormous, because virtually every important Chinese politician and a great many people in public life would be members of this list. What I think is even more important, though, is that their membership in the CCP is in many cases not the criterion on which their notability hangs (whereas many of the Norwegian musicians would not be notable if they were not musicians). In fact (following the advice at WP:LISTCRITERIA to ask "If this person/thing/etc. weren't X, would it reduce their fame or significance?"), it would be more notable for a highly successful Chinese politician to not be a member of the CCP! I also considered whether we should rename and narrow the scope of this page, but we already have a plethora of lists like Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, List of national leaders of the People's Republic of China, and Orders of precedence in China which are discrete versions of what this list would be if it were built out. Any missing subject areas can be covered with more specific list articles. - Astrophobe ( talk) 18:06, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete mayors do not have notability just for being mayors, and local news will cover any mayor. It does not appear Grigorisin has received notability above and beyond simply being a mayor of the city. SportingFlyer T· C 00:05, 11 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Mayors are not "inherently" notable just for being mayors per se — the notability test for a mayor is not passed by minimally verifying that he exists, it's passed by writing and sourcing a substantial article about his political impact: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But this is literally "he is a mayor who exists, the end", which is not what's required — and even the Romanian interlang, while longer, still isn't actually doing what's required either, as the expanded content consists entirely of a smattering of background biographical information and his vote totals in his reelection campaigns rather than documenting anything he actually did in the job, so just translating that still wouldn't salvage this.

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Buddhism, and Korea. UtherSRG (talk) 11:54, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak delete - Jinpyo is a name used by other individuals later as well so that potentially obfuscates any results about this individual. I see a lot of search results mentioning this article's subject building, rebuilding, or expanding temples, but nothing that goes into any detail about the individual himself. However, sources may very well exist, but just in a way that I cannot access. I did find some potential books that I couldn't access that may or may not go into detail about this individual, and as an 8th-century Korean monk it's reasonable to assume that sources may exist in Korean that remain inaccessible to me due to a language barrier. However I can't argue that an article should be kept because I think reliable sources might exist that show notability, so until notability can be established I don't think there should be an article about this individual, not least of all because without sufficient sources there's no guarantee that the details in the article are even correct. If sources can be found, please ping me and I will be glad to reassess, but from what I can find WP:GNG isn't met. - Aoidh ( talk) 20:35, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Their basic name can make searching tough, but search in conjunction with member names or album titles, and non-English news articles are not too difficult to find.

Clearly a POV fork of the article Operation Valuable and originally researched for the most part. There was no "Anglo-American invasion". Most reliable sources describe it as a covert paramilitary operation to topple a regime. The only source (a source of questionable academic value) which called it an "invasion" is this source and probably some other tabloids and blogs like this one.

  • Keep Operation Valuable was the only British operation to last until 1954. It was part of the invasion, during which the Americans conducted two other operations: Operation OBOPUS/FIEND and Operation Economic Warfare and also it was considered a covert invasion if we want we can change it to another name but deleting it would be pointless Christopherschweinsteiger ( talk) 11:45, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Hello I have looked at the whole discussion here and also had a look at what and I also agree that it is not a POV fork, Operation Valuable is only added here as a section on this, I have also researched and read that this operation is only the which was British and there were 2 more operations so the American was part of the invasion

Delete This is the only album by the group (whose page also needs a lot of cleanup) with an article, and it doesn't present any information beyond a tracklist that otherwise justifies it. A mention on the band's page is probably enough. Peribirb ( talk) 06:30, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Way back in the dark wikiages of 2006, Wikipedia's approach to the notability of albums was of the "any album released by a notable artist or band is inherently notable regardless of sourcing" — but that was long ago kiboshed, and has been replaced with having to get the album over WP:GNG in its own right. This album doesn't meet the stricter standards of 2023 at all, and in fact by the standards of 2023 even the band's notability is more questionable than it would have been by 2006 standards.

I recognize the need to be diligent in searching for sources on topics that may lack online coverage; however, we must have some solid evidence that coverage exists, and in this case it appears that the argument to keep rests on her having been a pageant contestant, which does not have consensus.

Does not have the WP:SIGCOV to meet WP:GNG. Let'srun ( talk) 13:22, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: is the claim of lack of significant coverage because no coverage exists, or because you couldn't find it online? This is someone who would likely be covered in West Virginia newspapers during the 1980's—presumably the Charleston Gazette and Charleston Daily Mail, possibly others, such as the Huntington Herald-Dispatch, Parkersburg News, Wheeling Intelligencer—of which very few issues are available online (for example, Newspapers.com has the Daily Mail up to 1977, including some years of the Sunday Gazette-Mail, but none of the others, and no West Virginia newspapers of note during the 1980s; the Google News Archive seems to have only the Point Pleasant Register—a small town paper—from 1986 to 2004). But it's quite likely that these papers would have covered "Miss West Virginia 1984", and even more likely that they would have mentioned her death or the governor naming her a "Distinguished West Virginian" a few years later. Have you searched for coverage in likely sources, or was this limited to Google searches and online newspapers? P Aculeius ( talk) 14:03, 25 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ P Aculeius - He's doing a mass run through of various pageant contestants. He has nominated 9 beauty pageant articles in the last 3 days. I do not believe all of these nominations could have possibly been researched properly and I think it's asking a lot of people interested in this subject to go through this many articles at once. KatoKungLee ( talk) 03:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
I admit to having my doubts as to the notability of national beauty pageant contestants (as opposed to winners, or people who first came to public attention through pageants). But doubts aren't enough to determine notability, IMO, and I've seen many more articles nominated for deletion that shouldn't have been if a thorough search for coverage had been made, than I have articles for which there really was no justification.
In this case, I strongly suspect there's local newspaper coverage of some kind, but I also know that there are very few West Virginia newspapers from the 20th century available online. I do know there are archives besides the ones I have access to, and of course various libraries have these papers on microfilm, but they're not very easy to search if you don't know the exact dates you need. It seemed unlikely that the nominator would have searched them, but it was worth asking. It's technically the responsibility of the person nominating articles for deletion to show that significant coverage does not exist or is unlikely to exist. It's not the responsibility of those opposing the nomination to find coverage, although it nearly always works out that way.
If the nominator hasn't looked for coverage in the sources most likely to provide it, then I think this nomination should fail—along with other similar nominations if the nominator didn't search for sources other than on Google. There's a world of print sources that simply aren't available online, and it's not sufficient to report that online news sources don't provide coverage for events of local or regional interest from over thirty years ago. P Aculeius ( talk) 03:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
I searched beyond google, to be clear. Let'srun ( talk) 04:03, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Also, news doesn't equate to notability. Let'srun ( talk) 04:04, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
News verifies facts that make people notable; the extent of news coverage is what SIGCOV is about. And the relevant question isn't whether "any sources other than Google" were searched—it's what sources were searched?. Since we know reliable sources that are not widely available or available at all online exist, and probably include coverage of the subject of this article, the article cannot be fairly deleted without checking those sources. P Aculeius ( talk) 04:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • I searched all sources I had available. Fair point regarding the coverage of newspapers on newspapers.com and Google, but even so that would still make her fall into WP:BLP1E. I also could not find any coverage of her receiving the Distinguished West Virginian award, and it does not appear to be sourced in the article as is. Let'srun ( talk) 03:46, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
WP:BLP1E explicitly states that it only applies to living persons, or to persons who have recently died. Pennington died in 1988, so this policy clearly does not apply. Different standards apply to the notability of people who have been deceased for a considerable amount of time. The policy also specifically refers to people notable for only a single event; being named a "Distinguished West Virginian" by the governor would presumably be a notable event in addition to her being named "Miss West Virginia" and representing the state in a national pageant.
The fact that you couldn't find coverage of this is irrelevant if there are likely to be reliable sources that would verify it, and again—if you didn't review West Virginia newspapers (specifically Charleston newspapers, IMO, given both where Pennington was from and the governor's involvement) from 1988 (or local coverage of the pageant; there was likely some mention of Miss West Virginia prior to or following the pageant), then WP:BEFORE has not been satisfied. The fact that these papers may not be available online is irrelevant.
It may also be possible to contact the governor's office and find out whether there is a list of "distinguished West Virginians" named in past years, or a reference that might mention them (for example, the West Virginia Blue Book for 1989 might mention such recognition). The offices of the Gazette might have an index mentioning people and events by name, topic (awards or proclamations by the governor), or date. At the very least I would expect an obituary to verify the date of Pennington's death, and perhaps fill in some details; and it's likely that there'd be a short news story on or around the same date, since clearly her death at a young age came to the governor's attention. Unless sufficient information can be found to suggest that any of the facts mentioned in the article are hoaxes—i.e. a diligent search of sources that ought to mention them turns up nothing, meaning that the sources that would mention them, if any, have been identified and searched—this nomination should fail. P Aculeius ( talk) 04:13, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
I checked the blue book before; it doesn't state such recognition. Let'srun ( talk) 18:13, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Presumably acts of the governor are recorded somewhere, and as stated above, there should be newspaper coverage. The fact that the Blue Book doesn't mention it doesn't tell us that it didn't occur. Perhaps the thing to do would be to find out what was done in some other instance of the governor naming someone a "Distinguished West Virginian" and then figure out where—besides the newspaper—it was recorded—or to ask the Governor's office what would be done if someone were named a "Distinguished West Virginian" today. That might tell us where to look, assuming the process hasn't changed since 1988. P Aculeius ( talk) 21:50, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep - We must be careful to avoid WP:SBEXT. Newspapers.com does not have any West Virginia newspapers from 1984 on their website - See here. This is important as not only do we not have that, we don't have footage of any local television or radio broadcasts either, which would be the main sources of coverage. This is also pre-internet, so there will be little there. A lack of access to sources is different from not having any sources. There is some coverage on her here 1 and with her winning the pageant, being awarded an award from the governor of West Virginia and passing away unexpectedly at a young age, I expect more coverage to exist as it's an interesting story.

For a full explanation, see my talk page. A tl;dr version is that I went through a long WP:BEFORE search initially hoping to get rid of this page's reliance on primary sources, found one which might count toward satisfying notability guidelines, and a ton of others which don't due to being primary, not independent, or non-significant coverage of the subject.

Silver seren, I couldn't find any good sources online. Le Parisien looks like a start, could you access the entire L'Alsace article? I couldn't see significant coverage and it is also local coverage of an event in Mulhouse. The tournament is at challenger 5 level, which I believe means a top prize of $5,000 and it is aimed at younger athletes. TSventon ( talk) 09:12, 28 July 2023 (UTC) reply
$5K may seem meagre to outsiders, but that's the reality of squash. There's orders of magnitude difference between prize money in squash and for example tennis.

    One of which was a brief mention from the French Squash Federation and the other of which was an interview from the same organisation, which still unfortunately doesn't count towards WP:GNG. This may just be WP:TOOSOON. SportingFlyer T· C 16:34, 1 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Those are sources written about the subject. And they join the various other sources that talk directly about the subject and consist of prose that gives information about her biography. And there are more, e.g. found by @ Silver seren, which we can't access due to paywalls.
    I think WP:TOOSOON would apply if, for example, this athlete had had a brilliant junior career, but had yet to win a senior professional tournament.
    That is not the case here. This athlete has won a senior professional tournament, and is in fact the youngest European, male or female, to ever achieve that, as some of the sources discuss.
    It's remarkable that there are several sources written about her, given the low coverage that squash gets because it's not on TV. And even more remarkable for a female athlete.
    Those unfamiliar with squash may not know about the comparatively lower coverage because it's not on TV. And not being on TV also means smaller prize money. Things need to be taken in context.
    And there's also the common sense and better off points made by @ Frank Anchor and @ Johnbod. Dr. Vogel ( talk) 01:17, 2 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    She's a young athlete who hasn't been covered in any non squash-related coverage, as far as I can tell. All but one source currently in the article has some sort of problem with demonstrating notability - not independent of the subject or simple links to events she's played in. The only possibly good source in the article for notability is the Le Parisien article.

Preliminary WP:BASIC WP:BEFORE check did not find significant independent coverage in reliable sources in the perspective of our guidelines WP:NCORP, WP:GNG and WP:ORGIND and I don't believe this company is notable enough to have an entry here. WP:INHERITORG clearly shows association with notable people do not implicitly make it notable by association. Sources must directly cover the article subject in question. Graywalls ( talk) 23:20, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Despite the insistences of the nominator (in other recent AfDs), there is no reason to ignore music expertise in assessing the encyclopedic value of music-related articles, and so WP:MUSIC's sense of an important indie label applies here. Arena Rock certainly qualifies as one of them, and their roster (of several dozen important artists) is of substantial importance to telling the story of independent rock music in the 2000s. NOTINHERITED, I maintain as I have elsewhere, is a red herring; labels are only notable for releasing notable music, and for no other reason! There are no WP:V issues in demonstrating the roster, and the article has some sourcing to boot; there's even a category for this label, complementing the list and helping serve the Wiki's information-provision function by interlinking the bands that share this label (which can't be done any other way than through a label list or label category).

  • Delete. It is true that not every company will have public investigations of illegal conduct associated with it, and there are about 7 English language news articles about this incident, but I feel I need to again emphasise there are differences between a topic that is newsworthy and one that would be notable under our guidelines. Reading those articles, I think the one that is the closest to being considered significant coverage would be the Gulf News (insofar as it is even possible to say any one of them is the "closest") and I don't think there are two consecutive sentences that would meet the commentary, analysis, discussion that we would expect from a source used to establish notability, under the GNG or basic criteria of any of our SNGs. Admittedly, there are also Arabic news articles, when searching for شركة الاتحاد العقارية, numbering roughly a gross, which is significantly more than the 84 English language news articles I get for "Union Properties" PJSC, and I am not sufficiently literate in the language to perform more than a cursory review, but of the roughly a dozen I have looked at, the contents are the textbook "standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage" like much of the English language coverage, which does not exactly engender confidence that qualifying coverage exists. I have serious questions whether it truly is possible to improve the article. Perhaps there are older, offline sources. Even then, that raises the question, whether there is any content currently in the article worth salvaging. Reading the actual article under discussion, there seems to be very little encyclopedic content, and one has to wonder if one would not be better served, should one find the sources, by starting entirely afresh.

  • Keep. NCORP has a high standard for independence (not a concern in this case), but it doesn't establish a particularly high standard for depth of coverage. I'm basing this largely on WP:CORPDEPTH, in particular this: [Appropriate] coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization. I think the sources we have do go significantly beyond "brief mentions and routine announcements", particularly with regards to financial misconduct investigations (e.g. AP, Al Jazeera). There is no equivalent to BLP1E for companies, and thus, the sources we have are more than sufficient for establishing notability under NCORP, even if the appropriate sources relate to only one event. Of course Wikipedia is not a newspaper, but there is enough depth of coverage here to build an article beyond a permastub; another criterion from WP:CORPDEPTH. Other aspects of WP:ORGCRIT don't seem particularly contentious; there's coverage in multiple (check) reliable (check) secondary (check) sources that are independent of the subject (check). I don't see any other issues. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 19:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Fails the criteria of WP:NSCHOLAR. Specifically fails Criterium 1 - the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates. (Google Scholar doesn't indicate high citation rates). Lesser administrative posts (provost, dean, department chair, etc.) are generally not sufficient to qualify under Criterion 6 alone.

Comment, apart from the fact that this is reliant on an outdated unreliable primary source (WordPress is not usually considered an acceptable or reliable source) - which indicates that the lectures only went until 2017 not that they are ongoing.

Here is a notice from 2022, which does not appear to be on Wordpress. However, In much of the world, hosting official webpages on free hosting websites like Wordpress is perfectly normal, and that seems to be what the University of Jaffna or the particular department is doing in this case. The relevant guideline should therefore be something like WP:BLOGS: is this credibly the University of Jaffna's website being hosted on Wordpress, and is the University of Jaffna credible on this issue? To my mind the answer is yes on both counts. - Astrophobe ( talk) 17:31, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The fact he was founding professor of chemistry and head of the chemistry department at the University of Jaffna strongly suggests he held an established chair, which meets the criteria of WP:NACADEMIC #5: The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon. (Italics mine). -- Necrothesp ( talk) 12:35, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: The nomination rationale is at odds with the definition of WP:NSCHOLAR in multiple important ways. The nominator writes that the article subject "Fails the criteria of WP:NSCHOLAR. Specifically fails Criterium 1". The section that defines NSCHOLAR says: "Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable" (emphasis in the original). It is fully expected that many notable academics will not meet any number of the criteria in NSCHOLAR. Failing to meet a criterion under NSCHOLAR is not grounds for deletion; if just one of the criteria is satisfied, then the subject has presumed notability. Discounting notability because of their google scholar hits is a particularly bad misreading of WP:NSCHOLAR, because there is a caution specifically against reliance on Google Scholar in the guideline itself, at Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Citation_metrics. In this case, with an academic who would have written mostly in offline sources, maybe not in English, before the internet age, who does not have a google scholar profile, of course google scholar will show low numbers of citations compared to contemporary academics publishing online in English. In light of that, Necrothesp's point looks correct to me. Criterion 5 specifically acknowledges that the particular practice of being a "named chair" is culturally and temporally quite specific, but the motivation for this criterion is that universities regularly have internal mechanisms for signaling which of their faculty they believe are highly notable for their academic work, so that we can capture that kind of notability on Wikipedia. The page subject clearly received numerous such acknowledgements of notability, from being the founding chair of the department and dean of the science faculty, being credited by the university and in the news as a pioneer in the department and of Sri Lankan chemistry generally, and being the subject of a named lectureship and a student award. The nominator has responded above that nearly all of these should be discounted because they are not properly independent of the article subject. The lack of independent sources would be a concern for demonstrating notability under WP:GNG, which I would agree is not met. But meeting NSCHOLAR is sufficient for presumed notability, separate and apart from GNG. Regarding simple statements of fact ("there was a lecture named after this academic"), it is perfectly acceptable to use a university's own declaration of the lecture series. Unless there is serious reason to suspect that the University of Jaffna is fabricating the lectureship, the award, the department chair position, the dean position, and so on (is there any such reason for doubt?), this is a perfectly acceptable use of a source that is not independent of the subject of the article. Even if it were a primary source published by the article subject himself, WP:PRIMARYSOURCE says that "Primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia", but "only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts". This aren't even primary sources, so I don't see any issue with using them to make statements of fact. All of that said, !voters should ask themselves: what would a Sri Lankan chemist of the 1980s have to do to be classed as notable? Unless someone can cast serious factual doubt on the existence of this person or the University of Jaffna's credibility in describing the positions he held and the honours he was given, the subject of this article has all the traces that we associate with academic notability. - Astrophobe ( talk) 17:23, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Apologies for lack of brevity. I cannot find a way to access archives of The Oregonian beyond headlines, which is probably the most likely source of coverage. Here's some sigcov via Proquest that might not quite meet CORPDEPTH.
    1. [18] Hush Records is a Portland record label known for its quiet and soothing, but artistically interesting music. The label has a showcase on Saturday at ACME. Highlights include...
    2. [19] In February, Velella Velella signed with Portland's respected Hush Records, home of top-shelf indie rock artists such as Decemberists, Norfolk & Western, Kind Of Like Spitting, Laura Gibson and Corrina Repp. Hush is re-releasing V. Velella's 2005 triumph, "Bay of Biscay," with national distribution in May. It's a flexible deal ...
    3. [20] One of the most intriguing is Graves, a one-man band who has just released a new CD on acclaimed Portland, Ore., label Hush Records....Graves' new CD, "To Sur With Love," is more experimental, ranging from avant-rockers closer to Tom Waits to ballads that may remind listeners of other Hush Records groups such as the Decemberists or Norfolk And Western.
I have followed this label in the past, and it has a documented influence on the Portland music scene and the broader indie music scene. Most of the documentation just happens to be in articles about artists and releases. We don't really have a standard process (other than the blunt instrument of merging) for moving otherwise-notable topics away from corp/org articles into broad concept articles that are less promotional in nature. But, the encyclopedia would have a clear gap without covering it, so in absence of keep consensus I would strongly suggest a merge to something like Music of Oregon and maybe a bit more merged also to Indie music scene or a better target if one can be found, it might even be worth starting an Indie music scene of Portland, Oregon just as an ATD. I'm hopeful that someone has access to The Oregonian archives though to bypass the difficult decisions. — siro χ o 04:38, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Question I am just curious how a presumption can be made about the significance of coverage without having read the whole article. An extensive independent reporting and analysis on the article subject itself is the key which we can not assume by just looking at the first few lines. For the purpose of evaluating WP:MULTSOURCES, are those sources all from unrelated publishers and different authors? Graywalls ( talk) 06:04, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
I'm not precisely sure what you're asking so I will give the best answers I can. First, for the 3 sources I provided, those I was able to see the article in question, and they are from three different newspapers from three different cities. Second, I cannot see any historical archives from a different news publication, The Oregonian, which I believe is likely to have more coverage of this label. Thirdly, there also is a lot more short coverage about the label in various news articles that might help with GNG but do not qualify for NORG. I hope this answers your question. — siro χ o 06:23, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Despite the nominator's claim in the nomination, and as I have said elsewhere, there is no reason to ignore WP:MUSIC #5 here, and this is yet another example of a Portland-based record label being picked off.

I did this at my talk page, at your request. Go and look at old Record Label AfDs. Sure community consensus can change.

Non-notable performer. I can't find any album reviews or mentions of anything she's performed in. Appears PROMO. Gsearch is straight to this wiki, then her social media. Oaktree b ( talk) 17:29, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Seems to meet WP:BASIC. Article needs some cleanup but it's not so far gone as many. Here's what I have so far, independent research:
    1. Sigcov in background outside of non-independent attributed statements and quotes: (>200 words of once non-independent is filetered out) [26]
    2. More Sigcov in background outside of non-independent attributed staements and quotes. (>350 words once non-independent stuff is filtered out) [27]
    3. Abstract here has 150 words of sigcov, article will almost certainly have more. [28]
    4. Allmusic staff album review with sigcov of artist [29]

  • Keep because the subject meets Wikipedia:Notability. Regarding PROMO, this alone is not valid reason for deletion due to Wikipedia:AFDISNOTCLEANUP, if WP:NBASIC is still met. I believe it is, as significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources exists. Here is a source assessment table:

Most of the reception were filled with listicles and/or passing mentions. The Cultural impact section sources doesn't directly talking about the character. The only usable source was there was a "button mashing" article by Kotaku. Im having hard time finding SIGCOV at google news. GreenishPickle! ( 🔔) 00:27, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep The fact that two notable real-world wrestlers have commented on Eddy, going so far as to attribute their moves to him, is demonstrative of real-world notability and the character's cultural impact. The sources criticising Eddy's controls, although perhaps individually limited in depth, when taken as a whole show Eddy's impact on gaming culture as a character associated with button mashing and gimmicky gameplay. There also seems to be offline sources discussing Eddy's association with capoeira. For example, Jesper Juul discusses in Half-real: video games between real rules and fictional worlds (2005) Eddy as an example of a character that only exists in a "fictional world", but uses the "real rules" of capoeria in combat. (Disclaimer: I was unable to access that source, but the example is cited in this journal article here. Embodying Brazil: An ethnography of diasporic capoeira (Delamont, Stephens & Campos 2017) discusses how "the capoeira men we have known since 2003 are of a generation for whom it was the video game Tekken 3, which first appeared in 1997 featuring an African-Brazilian hero, Eddy Gordo" that drew them to capoeira. Unfortunately I was only able to get snippets from Google Books, though. Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 05:06, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Not the strongest of Tekken characters, but the wrestling sources plus the scholarly source is worthwhile. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk) 23:54, 8 August 2023 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus‎. I'd like to give this a definitive close but with no comments after two relistings, all we have to go on is three opinions. I don't see a consensus here. Liz Read! Talk! 00:17, 15 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Leaning delete, subject does not appear to rise to the level of encyclopedic notability. BD2412 T 01:16, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - 1 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, [ 13, 14, 15, 16 - This is why I had an issue with so many articles being nominated within a short time frame. If you check CC's page, most of the links are dead or behind paywalls. I feel that this should have been mentioned in a WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG nomination as it's impossible to know what's behind dead links and paywalls. From what we know of the sources I posted and some of the sources mentioned in the other links, she was on interviewed on Portland TV about her win, she did various appearances and MC gigs, she was covered in TLC's Miss America 2010 preview, she was interviewed on 105.1 FM The Buzz and had multiple articles written about her in the dailyastorian. She's very clearly a local celebrity in Oregon. I believe there's more out there and with her winning 4 pageants, I have more reason to suspect that more coverage exists. KatoKungLee ( talk) 00:42, 29 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    All of the coverage appears to be pretty routine and is a case of BLP1E being the winner of a statewide pageant. It isn't sustained, and as such doesn't rise up to the standards needed to keep just because sources exist. WP:LOTSOFSOURCES is not a reason to keep any article.
    Some of the sources you linked to are simply Facebook posts as well, which aren't at all reliable. Let'srun ( talk) 01:43, 29 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    Let'srun - The point of the facebook links are that we now know more coverage exists, which is important in a debate about WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. And to - All of the coverage appears to be pretty routine, it's really hard to rate a source when it's dead or behind a paywall, which most of the sources listed are.
