WP:NOTGUIDE. Unambiguous promotional material. All sources are primary. I cannot find any significant independent coverage discussing the APIs themselves; if there exists some controversy or coverage then notability could be met. If such a story does exist though I imagine it belongs on other google related articles. Darcyisverycute ( talk) 20:59, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Withdrawn by nominator due to new sources discovered and causing confusion due to combined nomination. Darcyisverycute ( talk) 01:17, 12 December 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I found some things here: [2], [3], and [4] Conyo14 ( talk) 21:56, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    2 and 3 are good, 4 is arguably only significant coverage of the malware itself. I think WP:PRODUCT could apply here, specifically, "Avoid splitting the company and its products into separate articles, unless both have so much coverage in reliable secondary sources as to make a single article article unwieldy." For example, it seems more logical to me personally to have the google maps API in source 2 covered in Google Maps, and the privacy API discussed by source 3 in Privacy concerns regarding Google, rather than grouping unrelated APIs in the same article. Darcyisverycute ( talk) 01:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    That's a fair point. Most of the news sources are on the variety of APIs that Google offers, rather than the API itself. However, there are educational sources on the subject: [5] ISBN: 0-7821-4333-4 [6] ISBN: 978-1-84969-436-0. That might be something worthwhile? Conyo14 ( talk) 03:09, 6 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    Thanks for finding the sources. 5 refers to the APIs collectively as "Google Web Services", perhaps we should have the article renamed to match that term? 6 seems to be about a separate set of APIs for visualisation, it only specifically refers to google web services once, but there does seem to be some overlap about web integration. Currently, 2, 3 and 5 are sufficient to establish notability in my opinion, and there are plenty more sources covering google web services, eg. [7], [8] which could be included also. If sources establishing notability for Google Web Designer are found among these sources they could easily be added in summary style too. Darcyisverycute ( talk) 11:20, 8 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, but TNT I think this article serves better as an educational resource. In its current format, it reads as an advertisement. However, if it were written in an educational format based on the several books I found, then it would be a very useful article.
  • As for Google Web Designer, delete. There is nothing I found that indicates any particular usefulness towards WP:GNG. Conyo14 ( talk) 17:30, 7 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, TNT and rename as per sources found by Conyo14, rename to Google Web Services. TNT is needed to clean up marketing language. (note to closers: I am the original nominator) Darcyisverycute ( talk) 11:24, 8 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. AfD is not cleanup. I'm also not sure why Google Web Designer was thrown into the same nomination when it is nothing similar to Google APIs. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 01:11, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    I chose to nominate because I believed the articles did not meet WP:NPRODUCT, because I could not find sources with significant, independent coverage, so I thought AfD was the best forum for determining notability. I do appreciate the sources Conyo14 has found. I chose to nominate both articles together because the articles are both about closely related google software with only primary sources and both appear promotional. I hope that clears up any misunderstanding, if you see issues with my personal choices for AfD nominations please post on my talk page to discuss. Darcyisverycute ( talk) 11:15, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting because I'm finding the comments here confusing. Typically, in my experience, TNT means blow to smithereens, Delete, so I don't understand what "Keep but TNT" exactly means. An AFD closer is not in charge of editing an article under discussion so, specifically, what does TNT mean in your arguments? Also, there are two articles that have been bundled together. Some editors have specified different outcomes, which is what should be done, but not all. Also, the nominator, User:Darcyisverycute who initiated this discussion to Delete (which is what AFD is for), is now advocating Keep! If you have changed your stance this radically, it would be appropriate to withdraw or at least strike your nomination statement.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:32, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply

I agree with Liz here, Darcy, you may want to just withdraw nomination. Cleanup of the article can commence. If you still feel strongly about Google Web Designer, put it in AfD as its own thing. Conyo14 ( talk) 00:02, 12 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Apologies Liz and Conyo14, I will explain my thought process. What I meant by keep and TNT is that I can't see anything worth keeping in the article as-is (so it needs TNT to completely wipe it and restart with better quality sources), and the current title of the article doesn't seem like the right one, that it should be called 'google web services' instead. So one option is to delete this and make the correctly named article, but doing so would erase the article history, so it would be better to rename (ie. move) the article alongside TNT. Whether to say that at the AfD now that new sources have been found, or to withdraw the AfD and make a separate request at WP:RM, I was not sure. I thought it was better to post it here, but I can see I was not very clear about that intention.
With that being said, I am not sure if there is consensus to move the page to 'google web services' without opening a move request, but I will close withdraw the AfD nomination on your recommendations. Sorry for making a bit of a mess about this. I do not feel strongly about either article so I will not open a second nomination for google web designer, but I can see that grouping the nominations in this case has caused more problems than it's helped, as I didn't expect divergent responses. (edit: I will not close the nomination yet to avoid disrupting any potential replies) Darcyisverycute ( talk) 01:13, 12 December 2023 (UTC) reply

This is a clear fail of WP:LASTING and WP:PERSISTENCE. All of the coverage is from the same 2 day interval on November 11-12 2010. No evidence of any lasting significance whatsoever, as has been noted by the creator at Talk:National_Stupid_Day. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 23:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply

It’s a few paragraphs, but most of that is a summary of the strip and Davis’s letter. The book itself is a history of Garfield and lists National Stupid Day as one of several “notable” strips. Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 23:02, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per Maddy from Celeste. ★Trekker ( talk) 22:38, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge with Garfield. I found a 2018 News18 article which has a paragraph about the strip controversy; I suspect I could probably drum up a few more post-November 2010 sources if I started cracking open databases. However, I ultimately think this article is much better covered within the context of the Garfield article. I've looked through the available sources and was unable to find any evidence of lasting impact; the 2022 Creation of Garfield Book outright states that the controversy resulted in "no long-term effects on Garfield." Several of the sources (including some summarized in the article) question whether there was really a controversy to begin with; the book states that things "blew over" after Davis's apology. Ultimately, this was a poorly timed strip that resulted in two days of media coverage and a handful of sporadic mentions in the years and decades after the strip ran; I think this information is best covered within the Garfield article rather than as a standalone article. Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 01:46, 6 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep - It had 9,921 views while on the main page, which is pretty remarkable. The article is well-written, explanatory, and deserving of being a stand-alone article. And it already had all those nit-picking DYK editors looking at it from every angle before it went live on the Main Page. Let's loosen up, have some fun, and let this stay as its own article. — Maile ( talk) 00:49, 7 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lewis (baseball) (2nd nomination), none of these reasons for keeping an article are valid. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 04:17, 7 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    And I reinforce my Strong Keep, whether any editor agrees or not, or whether anyone digs something to support their viewpoint. Bottom line ... if enough Keeps are here, it is unlikely to be deleted. — Maile ( talk) 17:54, 7 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    Notability is based on coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. Article views and the quality of the article are irrelevant; even articles that reach a milestone such as DYK can fail our general notability requirements. If you believe this article should be kept, then I encourage you to review WP:GNG and make an argument in line with that guideline. Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 22:44, 7 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge with Garfield - this strip was discussed at the time of publishing. If we look at the sources used in our article there are eight - but they are all basically the same coverage (they describe the cartoon controversy and print the apology). WP:ATD-M seems like a healthy compromise which preserves the material. I also checked WP:SIZESPLIT which states < 6,000 words < 40 kB Length alone does not justify division or trimming: the Garfield article (5,233 words) is not too long to accept this material. Lightburst ( talk) 15:15, 8 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge. This was actually a full section on the Garfield article at one point until I reduced it to a portion of the History section. Then it was removed. Anyway, this really seems to be forgotten nowadays and thus fails WP:SUSTAINED and WP:NOTNEWS. Contrast Cow Tools and Loss, both of which have been the subject of jokes years after their release. Right now, there's not much more to this comic than, say, the May 30, 1990 strip ( which people also misinterpreted). - BRAINULATOR9 ( TALK) 20:21, 8 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Almost all the article hinges on reporting from an event in June 2009 where Namibia's non resident ambassador presented his credentials to the Bangladesh president.

Notability issues - does not appear to meet WP:NACADEMIC or WP:NARTIST.

Melcous ( talk) 20:53, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply

I feel that is time that I respond to the discussion of my Wikipedia article, especially the notion of whether my work is "notable." I have had a diverse career, much of which was not notable, but there are at least two aspects of my work that are important. First, I produced a lot of films, one of which was a two-hour documentary film entitled, Voyage to Kure, that was broadcast nationally on PBS and distributed worldwide. I wrote the treatment and the shooting script, raised the funding, hired the crew and vessels, oversaw the editing, etc., all the things that a television producer does. Before it was broadcast, we screened the film for the governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle, at a gala event, and at the request of the White House, we screened that film for President George W. Bush and his staff. Bush told the press that our film was his inspiration to use his Antiquities Act power to create the largest marine protected area in the world, Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument , a 583,000 square mile national monument that protects the marine life and culture. ( Los Angeles Times, June 15, 2006). Our documentary film was a three-year project that was responsible for a presidential action that protects a portion of the ocean that is four times the size of the State of California and protects the nesting areas for 80 percent of the Pacific seabirds. There are not a lot documentary films that have had that level of impact on society. In my opinion, that is notable.
My second notable work was founding and leading a national non-profit, The NROC Project. This work has been going on for more than twenty years and has served more than 10,000,000 students nationwide. Today our learning platform, EdReady, has been adopted statewide in Texas, North Carolina, Montana, and systemwide in Kentucky, Indiana, Arizona, and is used in all 50 states. Currently there are 1.3 million students active in EdReady and will gain the math and English skills required to attend college because of our platform. Our work has substantially improved the lives of million of people in the U.S.
If this work is does not reach the standards of "notablility" at Wikipedia, I support deleting my article. GW Lopez ( talk) 01:04, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply
. Delete Sorry, I did not put my vote at the head of my comments. Melcous gave me some good advise about the pitfalls and risks of having a Wikipedia article.

  • Comment - Received an email on December 13, 2023, from Senior Wikipedia Administrator Brendan Conway, a member of the Wikipedia AFD “Article for Deletion” Reviewer’s team, saying "Given the notable aspects of your work, particularly your documentary film and the significant impact of your nonprofit, The NROC Project, it is clear that your contributions hold merit for inclusion on Wikipedia. To proceed with improving your article, I recommend focusing on providing well-sourced and neutral information about these achievements."— Preceding unsigned comment added by Greghenderson2006 ( talkcontribs)
    Greghenderson2006 there is no such thing as a "Senior Wikipedia Administrator" nor an "AFD Reviewer team". You should be aware yourself and inform Mr Lopez that this is a scammer looking to get him to pay them. I see here that Mr Lopez is offering the $1499 they suggested to an editor Melcous ( talk) 20:29, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ Greghenderson2006, this seems like a blatant attempt to game the system. Firstly, there are no super-editors whose comments or !votes can trump other editors !votes here, so posting this at the AFD seems really weird and intimidating to me. It sure seems like someone is trying to game the system. The link Melcous about the $1499 payment is very disturbing. Netherzone ( talk) 20:55, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    Thanks for letting us know. I had no idea it was a scammer. We should dissregard the comment. Greg Henderson ( talk) 21:11, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    I assume the plural "us" you speak of is you and your client Mr. Lopez. Did he offer $1499 as a fixer fee? Netherzone ( talk) 21:28, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    "Us" mean everyone reading this. Lopez sent me the email from brendanconway@wikipediaafd.org (user:Brendanconway), which mentioned user:William Avery. Lopez said that Brendan made the offer for $1499 to help fix the page with "well-sourced and neutral information." He thought it was a legitimate deal. How can we verify that brendanconway and/or William Avery are scammers? They have active accounts on Wikipedia. Greg Henderson ( talk) 22:01, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    I don't know how to verify if these are scammers. What I find very problematic is that your client, after paying you to make his article, is now offering someone else (scammer or not) $1499 to "fix" his article so it survives deletion.

  • Keep or merge. Well, several years ago (2007 ?), there was an article that listed the available low power consuming CPUs. That was very informative, but it is gone. That days the high power CPUs were popular. Environment protection was unpopular. There ought to be a discussion in the "Articles for deletion" archive, but I can't find it. -- Well, according to this article, it's more easy. This "List of CPU power dissipation figures" was at first part of the article CPU electrical consumption that moved to CPU power dissipation (21 November 2005). After a few years it was moved to Processor power dissipation (6 March 2009‎). In the same year the list section was seperated from the "Processor power dissipation" article to List of CPU power dissipation (15 November 2009‎). After a few years the list was moved to it's current lemma List of CPU power dissipation figures (14 August 2012‎). -- I think the relevance is proven. That's why I think it should be kept or merged back to the lemma "Processor power dissipation", where the list came from. -- Temdor ( talk) 01:49, 15 December 2023 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP of an actor, not properly sourced as passing WP:NACTOR. The attempted notability claim here is a minor bit part in an as-yet-unaired future television series, which is not sufficient in and of itself, and the only source shown is an unreliable franchise fansite which is not a WP:GNG-worthy source.

  • Comment @ Kazamzam: wrote the following on my talk page "Hi, I saw your AfD for the second book in the Pendragon series and proposed a redirect to the main series article. Going through, I think that is the appropriate move for all of the other books as well. I checked all time of them and the best they had as an independent source was the Publisher's Weekly blurb and most didn't even have that. Would you be willing to put up the rest of the series under the umbrella of the AfD for the sake of expediency? Happy to discuss further but to me, none of these cut the mustard. Thanks"

Article created by a sockpuppet of Slowking4, an LTA who rapidly creates stubby biographies of marginal notability, probably for pay. This one is about a journalist who writes on many notable topics, but there's no evidence that he himself is notable. The references in the article are links to his biographies in various publications he's written for, all of which use almost identical text and provide no in-depth information. The most compelling of the refs provided is an interview about Liu Xiaobo, but it is from Human Rights Watch, an agency where he is a deputy director, and is still about the topic and not about the journalist.

Clear vandalism by some disgruntled disreputable third-party of unknown origin, and who wishes to hide in the shadows. This is cancel-culture garbage in the worst of ways.
The individual who made the Dec 1 change(s) to this page did not even provide a Wiki account, and flagrantly disregarded many publicly available third-party sources lauding and describing Mr. Thaler's continuing work, credentials, and music industry experience. AllMusic, Discogs, Modern Drummer Magazine, Sticks 'n Skins (hard cover book), L'est Republican newspaper, Sabian, The Sound Collective NYC, SAE Institute, The Future Music Forum, Sync Summit, Monday Magazine, Stuff, ACast, CBC, Fountain.fm, Urban Music Scene, etc etc etc. There are such a large number of articles dating back to the 90's/2000's available for review that it is comical how inappropriate this vandalism is, or that Wiki does nothing to eject the perpetrator. Further, the edits posted purposely and aggressively defamed Mr. Thaler and others, even in "colloquial" language and terminology, is this common practice at Wiki to allow this? This article, as you can see, remained on Wiki for at least 10 years without any incident or demonization, only to be attacked multiple times beginning during Covid. This is reprehensible. HarleyMarcos ( talk) 04:57, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - The nomination and first vote above appear to be reactions to some vandalism in the article, committed by an anonymous user on December 1 and later reverted. The obvious personal attacks in the December 1 version were somehow interpreted as poor article quality and non-notability, which I find to be a curious leap in logic. In the article history, you can see that before and after that date we have a pretty typical biography, perhaps with questionable notability but without any bad-faith shenanigans. Mr. Thaler is indeed a known instructional drummer and producer though I'm undecided on notability for the time being. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 13:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply

    @ Doomsdayer520: I'm going to add though, I still feel as if Thaler isn't notable, and the page creator (who replied to this AfD with a long rant about cancel culture) does seem to have a clear personal connection to the subject; this is the singular and only page this user has created, a good portion of their edits have been adding Thaler to other pages, and the only photos they have uploaded to Commons are both only of Thaler and literally the only pictures of Thaler on Commons at all. I still kind of feel like this article is more promotional than encyclopedic, and I have doubts about his notability minus his alleged production on other albums.

Moreover, neither program has a history of particular prominence even at the Division II or College Division levels. Purported rivalries between such lower-level programs with no real history of prominence are not necessarily notable. See WP:NRIVALRY ("Sports rivalries are not presumed notable.") My searches turned up some coverage of the basketball series, but a quick review didn't turn up anything of real depth about a football rivalry, just a couple brief passages. See this and this.

  • Delete. Lack of actually in-depth, independent coverage as either a series of games (the actual topic of the article) or an alleged "rivalry". It's clear that the game series exists, but it is not an independently notable subject and should just be covered in brief at the articles on the teams or at the indistitutional articles under sections about sports/atheletics departments. The first source in the article is in-depth, but is not independent; the second is irrelevant to the subject (just a source for a particular date, and mentions only one team/institution and no "rivalry"). The third source, above, lacks depth and just mentions the "rivalry" then gives brief coverage of a specific game, while being dominated by notices of upcoming and unrelated events.
    As laid out in detail at User:SMcCandlish/Rivalry game mess, this is yet another case where the notion of rivalry game (an organized series of matches between two teams with a degree of geographical proximity, often but not always with a trophy and often but not always with a distinct name, sometimes with "Rivalry" in it) has been sorely confused with that of sport[s] rivalry (a sports subculture of antagonism between the fandoms of two teams). This is reparable with a bunch of article renaming and recategorization to account for the ambiguity (which has arisen because rivalry game is often reduced to rivalry as a shorthand in unclear sports journalism), and probably something that needs to be proposed for cleanup work at WT:SPORT.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  17:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Offwiki request by Generalissima. Rationale to come. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (no relation) 02:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Per the Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft, simply described as an ort ("location").
Macedonian imperialism and the Hellenization of the East (1924) names it as one of a number of locations Alexander marched through in his campaign in Mysia. An Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis (2004, pg. 986) describes it as a frontier marker of Kyzikos. Could find no other descriptions, so it appears to be some sort of non-notable geographical feature. If it was a town, only its name has survived. Generalissima ( talk) 02:24, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Agreed. Completely non-notable ancient location.
TheBritinator ( talk) 10:14, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. On the assumption that either could be the correct name, and since the linked page is just an index to PW, I checked the actual entries for both "Hermaion" and "Hermoton", in alphabetical order. PW has somewhat more to say than "a location":

Place in Mysia minor, known for the race and outwitting of the Parians on the Propontis and the Lampsacenes on the Hellespont in their dispute over the border of the territories on both sides. The name probably means a border marker made of stones or hill earth. It was 70 stadia from Parium and 200 stadia from Lampsacus. Presumably Hermaion from R. Kiepert's Map of Asia Minor B. 1, 13.5 km south of the ruins of Parium, 39 km southeast of Lampsacus, near Karajaly on the Karapunar (Black Fountain) Dan. It is very likely that Hermaion was called Hermoton in later times.

The article cites to Polyaenus for the race and outwitting of the Parians, and to Arrian for Hermoton. Here's what Polyaenus has to say in Strategemata, vi. 24:

The Lampsacenians and the Parians, who had a dispute about the boundaries of their respective territories, agreed each to dispatch a certain number of persons from one city to the other at an early hour of the morning; and wherever the two groups met, that spot should be the common boundary between their territories. The Lampsacenians persuaded the fishermen, who were employed along the road where the Parians were due to travel, to cook some fish on that morning, and make libations of wine, as a sacrifice to Poseidon; and then they should ask the Parians, as they passed by, to share with them in the sacrifice, in honour of the god. The Parians agreed, but one mouthful of fish, and one glass of wine, induced them to take a second, and so on; until so much time was lost, that the Lampsacenians arrived first at the Hermaeum, which is seventy stades from Parium, and two hundred from Lampsacus. By this trick, the Lampsacenians gained a large territory from the Parians, and the Hermaeum was established as the boundary between the two states.

Under "Hermoton", PW has this to say, citing Arrian's Anabasis of Alexander, i. 12. 6:

Place (small river, see Hermotus) in Mysia minor, station of Alexander's train from 334 BC. BC, between Colonae and the Granicus, probably the same as the Hermaion in Mysia minor.

And checking Arrian, there's not much to add, apart from Alexander sending out scouting parties ahead of the army, which are described in some detail, although whether this should fall under the heading of Hermoton or is simply adjacent to its mention is unclear. For transparency, I used Google Translate on both articles, then edited them for spelling and grammar in English; I also omitted some internal citations and technical abbreviations.
Neither of these sources expressly state that Hermaion or Hermoton was a town, although one might infer that from the way that it's mentioned in Arrian. The Barrington Atlas evidently regards it as a village or town. But irrespective of whether it was a permanently settled place, it does appear to have some significance of its own that wouldn't be fully covered under say, Parium or Lampsacus, to say nothing of Alexander. Certainly there's enough for a short article, just as there is in PW—where it's actually split between two articles.
I'm not aware of any policy that says that the subjects of Wikipedia articles must be more notable than those in other encyclopedias; as our space is practically unlimited and we have the potential to combine material from different sources—such as what Polyaenus and Arrian actually had to say, how the Barrington Atlas or other archaeological resources regard the place, etc. we should presumably have a lower bar for inclusion, not a higher one. An assertion of non-notability despite the above articles, and particularly the mention in Polyaenus, seems arbitrary to me, and contradicts the plain statement in our policy that notability is not temporary; locations that had some notability in the Greek world do not become non-notable because they have no importance to the modern world, or because our information about them is limited to what a few surviving passages in Greek writers have to say, and what can be inferred from them.

  • Keep based on discussion above, seems to meet WP:GNG and possibly the first criterion of WP:POPULATED but that's harder to establish.

  • Comment: I've expanded it a bit using the material I cited above. I thought about quoting it, but that's a Google Translate version of the text from PW and Polyaenus, edited a little by me for clarity—so I figured it'd be easier to summarize than trying to figure out how to cite as a translation. I didn't include all of the details, including the map citation, which mentions several locations I'm not sure whether to identify with the more recent geographical references. So there could be more material here—including whether the river mentioned with the map under "Hermaion" is the same as the Hermotus mentioned in PW. P Aculeius ( talk) 05:23, 12 December 2023 (UTC) reply

These relations lack items that contribute to notability like significant trade, migration, state visits and embassies.

Taking this to AfD because Speedy deletion was denied under "5C," but the individual has not obtained distinguished professorship. I don't see notability, but hoping those more academically inclined can determine if this is up to standards

Subject seems to be an ordinary professor by the looks of this article, and I do not see anything that demonstrates WP:GNG, and not sure references fall under WP:SIGCOV.

I can't seem to make out how this individual is more notable than any other professor. (Also seems she participated in something but did not win) Cray04 ( talk) 02:11, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep. This is a bad nomination: the nominator has apparently been told that "Woodburn Professor of Applied Linguistics" at West Virginia University is the type of named professorship at a research university that passes WP:PROF#C5, but has failed to understand what they were told and has repeated only a garbled version of that in the nomination. Looking more carefully, though, the Woodburn Professorship is not a "one step beyond full professor" level of distinction, but rather something that is typically given to "mid-career" associate professors [34], so it probably doesn't pass #C5. That all said, I think the subject also has enough well-cited works to make a plausible case for WP:PROF#C1. — David Eppstein ( talk) 02:19, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep. There are also seem to be three reviews of The Role of Context in Language Teachers’ Self Development and Motivation [35] [36] [37]. Not enough for WP:AUTHOR on its own, but certainly contributing to the broader notability that David Eppstein has suggested. — siro χ o 03:27, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep. My findings are similar to David Eppstein's, but I would add that she was hired as head of department and subsequently appointed to an additional, higher-level administrative position, which offsets the breadth of the Woodburn professorships. I've done some polishing of the article to make notability clearer, and initially edit conflicted with the article creator, Vycl1994, making some of the same improvements.

  • Comment normally I'd expect a claim of a professorship to be supported by at least a direct mention on an institutional website. In this case, the current Woodburn professor appears to be someone quite different [38], while the source supporting Thompson's holding the post (since 2018) is her own 31-page CV available as a pdf from the currently cited source [39], the main web-page curiously not mentioning her professorship. I think other editors are correct that this professorship is a red herring anyway for notability. But is there any limit to our trust of academics, or do we believe the claims they put in their CVs without further verification? Elemimele ( talk) 11:21, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    • 5 links to a different department within the same university. The source found by David Eppstein indicates that multiple Woodburn Professorships can be awarded throughout different departments. See [40], and the Inside Higher Ed source that indicates Thompson holds her named professorship as of 2023. Vycl1994 ( talk) 12:59, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply
To answer the general question, I believe we have usually accepted CVs hosted by the university/department website, at least for reputable universities, though if reasonably challenged of course further verification becomes required. Espresso Addict ( talk) 03:56, 12 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Her Woodburn professor title is noted on the website of her department of which she is the chair here. These websites are usually not managed by a central unit at the university, and each office's website at college level is maintained/updated by their respective staff/admins.
Thompson has a role in the dean's office in addition to her chair role. Her dean's office page was updated today. Her Woodburn Professor title is reflected in her bio here. Oztanmeh ( talk) 01:56, 13 December 2023 (UTC) reply

After looking for sources to support this article for a book, I was able to find one review in Publishers Weekly, which is good. However, I only found one other review, which was from a questionable source. The author did go on the Today Show to discuss the book, but I think that has more to do with the first book, Why Men Love Bitches, than the notability of this book.

  • Comment I found some things here: [2], [3], and [4] Conyo14 ( talk) 21:56, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    2 and 3 are good, 4 is arguably only significant coverage of the malware itself. I think WP:PRODUCT could apply here, specifically, "Avoid splitting the company and its products into separate articles, unless both have so much coverage in reliable secondary sources as to make a single article article unwieldy." For example, it seems more logical to me personally to have the google maps API in source 2 covered in Google Maps, and the privacy API discussed by source 3 in Privacy concerns regarding Google, rather than grouping unrelated APIs in the same article. Darcyisverycute ( talk) 01:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    That's a fair point. Most of the news sources are on the variety of APIs that Google offers, rather than the API itself. However, there are educational sources on the subject: [5] ISBN: 0-7821-4333-4 [6] ISBN: 978-1-84969-436-0. That might be something worthwhile? Conyo14 ( talk) 03:09, 6 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    Thanks for finding the sources. 5 refers to the APIs collectively as "Google Web Services", perhaps we should have the article renamed to match that term? 6 seems to be about a separate set of APIs for visualisation, it only specifically refers to google web services once, but there does seem to be some overlap about web integration. Currently, 2, 3 and 5 are sufficient to establish notability in my opinion, and there are plenty more sources covering google web services, eg. [7], [8] which could be included also. If sources establishing notability for Google Web Designer are found among these sources they could easily be added in summary style too. Darcyisverycute ( talk) 11:20, 8 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, but TNT I think this article serves better as an educational resource. In its current format, it reads as an advertisement. However, if it were written in an educational format based on the several books I found, then it would be a very useful article.

    I chose to nominate because I believed the articles did not meet WP:NPRODUCT, because I could not find sources with significant, independent coverage, so I thought AfD was the best forum for determining notability. I do appreciate the sources Conyo14 has found. I chose to nominate both articles together because the articles are both about closely related google software with only primary sources and both appear promotional. I hope that clears up any misunderstanding, if you see issues with my personal choices for AfD nominations please post on my talk page to discuss.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting because I'm finding the comments here confusing. Typically, in my experience, TNT means blow to smithereens, Delete, so I don't understand what "Keep but TNT" exactly means. An AFD closer is not in charge of editing an article under discussion so, specifically, what does TNT mean in your arguments? Also, there are two articles that have been bundled together. Some editors have specified different outcomes, which is what should be done, but not all. Also, the nominator, User:Darcyisverycute who initiated this discussion to Delete (which is what AFD is for), is now advocating Keep! If you have changed your stance this radically, it would be appropriate to withdraw or at least strike your nomination statement.

I agree with Liz here, Darcy, you may want to just withdraw nomination. Cleanup of the article can commence. If you still feel strongly about Google Web Designer, put it in AfD as its own thing. Conyo14 ( talk) 00:02, 12 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Apologies Liz and Conyo14, I will explain my thought process. What I meant by keep and TNT is that I can't see anything worth keeping in the article as-is (so it needs TNT to completely wipe it and restart with better quality sources), and the current title of the article doesn't seem like the right one, that it should be called 'google web services' instead. So one option is to delete this and make the correctly named article, but doing so would erase the article history, so it would be better to rename (ie. move) the article alongside TNT. Whether to say that at the AfD now that new sources have been found, or to withdraw the AfD and make a separate request at WP:RM, I was not sure. I thought it was better to post it here, but I can see I was not very clear about that intention.
With that being said, I am not sure if there is consensus to move the page to 'google web services' without opening a move request, but I will close withdraw the AfD nomination on your recommendations. Sorry for making a bit of a mess about this. I do not feel strongly about either article so I will not open a second nomination for google web designer, but I can see that grouping the nominations in this case has caused more problems than it's helped, as I didn't expect divergent responses. (edit: I will not close the nomination yet to avoid disrupting any potential replies) Darcyisverycute ( talk) 01:13, 12 December 2023 (UTC) reply

This is a clear fail of WP:LASTING and WP:PERSISTENCE. All of the coverage is from the same 2 day interval on November 11-12 2010.

  • Merge with Garfield. I found a 2018 News18 article which has a paragraph about the strip controversy; I suspect I could probably drum up a few more post-November 2010 sources if I started cracking open databases. However, I ultimately think this article is much better covered within the context of the Garfield article. I've looked through the available sources and was unable to find any evidence of lasting impact; the 2022 Creation of Garfield Book outright states that the controversy resulted in "no long-term effects on Garfield." Several of the sources (including some summarized in the article) question whether there was really a controversy to begin with; the book states that things "blew over" after Davis's apology. Ultimately, this was a poorly timed strip that resulted in two days of media coverage and a handful of sporadic mentions in the years and decades after the strip ran; I think this information is best covered within the Garfield article rather than as a standalone article.

  • Strong Keep - It had 9,921 views while on the main page, which is pretty remarkable. The article is well-written, explanatory, and deserving of being a stand-alone article.

    Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lewis (baseball) (2nd nomination), none of these reasons for keeping an article are valid. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 04:17, 7 December 2023 (UTC) reply

    Notability is based on coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. Article views and the quality of the article are irrelevant; even articles that reach a milestone such as DYK can fail our general notability requirements. If you believe this article should be kept, then I encourage you to review WP:GNG and make an argument in line with that guideline. Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 22:44, 7 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge with Garfield - this strip was discussed at the time of publishing. If we look at the sources used in our article there are eight - but they are all basically the same coverage (they describe the cartoon controversy and print the apology). WP:ATD-M seems like a healthy compromise which preserves the material. I also checked WP:SIZESPLIT which states < 6,000 words < 40 kB Length alone does not justify division or trimming: the Garfield article (5,233 words) is not too long to accept this material. Lightburst ( talk) 15:15, 8 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge. This was actually a full section on the Garfield article at one point until I reduced it to a portion of the History section. Then it was removed. Anyway, this really seems to be forgotten nowadays and thus fails WP:SUSTAINED and WP:NOTNEWS. Contrast Cow Tools and Loss, both of which have been the subject of jokes years after their release.

I feel that is time that I respond to the discussion of my Wikipedia article, especially the notion of whether my work is "notable." I have had a diverse career, much of which was not notable, but there are at least two aspects of my work that are important. First, I produced a lot of films, one of which was a two-hour documentary film entitled, Voyage to Kure, that was broadcast nationally on PBS and distributed worldwide. I wrote the treatment and the shooting script, raised the funding, hired the crew and vessels, oversaw the editing, etc., all the things that a television producer does. Before it was broadcast, we screened the film for the governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle, at a gala event, and at the request of the White House, we screened that film for President George W. Bush and his staff. Bush told the press that our film was his inspiration to use his Antiquities Act power to create the largest marine protected area in the world, Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument , a 583,000 square mile national monument that protects the marine life and culture. ( Los Angeles Times, June 15, 2006). Our documentary film was a three-year project that was responsible for a presidential action that protects a portion of the ocean that is four times the size of the State of California and protects the nesting areas for 80 percent of the Pacific seabirds. There are not a lot documentary films that have had that level of impact on society. In my opinion, that is notable.
My second notable work was founding and leading a national non-profit, The NROC Project. This work has been going on for more than twenty years and has served more than 10,000,000 students nationwide. Today our learning platform, EdReady, has been adopted statewide in Texas, North Carolina, Montana, and systemwide in Kentucky, Indiana, Arizona, and is used in all 50 states. Currently there are 1.3 million students active in EdReady and will gain the math and English skills required to attend college because of our platform. Our work has substantially improved the lives of million of people in the U.S.
If this work is does not reach the standards of "notablility" at Wikipedia, I support deleting my article. GW Lopez ( talk) 01:04, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - Received an email on December 13, 2023, from Senior Wikipedia Administrator Brendan Conway, a member of the Wikipedia AFD “Article for Deletion” Reviewer’s team, saying "Given the notable aspects of your work, particularly your documentary film and the significant impact of your nonprofit, The NROC Project, it is clear that your contributions hold merit for inclusion on Wikipedia. To proceed with improving your article, I recommend focusing on providing well-sourced and neutral information about these achievements."— Preceding unsigned comment added by Greghenderson2006 ( talkcontribs)
    Greghenderson2006 there is no such thing as a "Senior Wikipedia Administrator" nor an "AFD Reviewer team". You should be aware yourself and inform Mr Lopez that this is a scammer looking to get him to pay them. I see here that Mr Lopez is offering the $1499 they suggested to an editor Melcous ( talk) 20:29, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ Greghenderson2006, this seems like a blatant attempt to game the system. Firstly, there are no super-editors whose comments or !votes can trump other editors !votes here, so posting this at the AFD seems really weird and intimidating to me. It sure seems like someone is trying to game the system. The link Melcous about the $1499 payment is very disturbing. Netherzone ( talk) 20:55, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply

    "Us" mean everyone reading this. Lopez sent me the email from brendanconway@wikipediaafd.org (user:Brendanconway), which mentioned user:William Avery. Lopez said that Brendan made the offer for $1499 to help fix the page with "well-sourced and neutral information." He thought it was a legitimate deal. How can we verify that brendanconway and/or William Avery are scammers? They have active accounts on Wikipedia. Greg Henderson ( talk) 22:01, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    I don't know how to verify if these are scammers. What I find very problematic is that your client, after paying you to make his article, is now offering someone else (scammer or not) $1499 to "fix" his article so it survives deletion. To my way of thinking this reinforces the fact that the article is an attempt to use WP as a vehicle for promoting and advertizing, which is a clear policy violation of WP:NOT. Netherzone ( talk) 22:11, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ Melcous:, Since there's no authentication process to sign up for an account on Wikipedia, there's no telling if that account is the article's subject though. The offer to pay could be just show for others to entice others to pay under similar circumstances. Pinging CU @ GeneralNotability: to look into this non-sense.

Primarily, I start deletion discussion according to WP:NOTCATALOG, in addition to quality concerns including extensive presence of original research, as well as verifiability concerns for the more than 1300 processors listed. XrayBravoGolf ( talk) 18:37, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep or merge. Well, several years ago (2007 ?), there was an article that listed the available low power consuming CPUs. That was very informative, but it is gone. That days the high power CPUs were popular. Environment protection was unpopular. There ought to be a discussion in the "Articles for deletion" archive, but I can't find it. -- Well, according to this article, it's more easy. This "List of CPU power dissipation figures" was at first part of the article CPU electrical consumption that moved to CPU power dissipation (21 November 2005). After a few years it was moved to Processor power dissipation (6 March 2009‎). In the same year the list section was seperated from the "Processor power dissipation" article to List of CPU power dissipation (15 November 2009‎). After a few years the list was moved to it's current lemma List of CPU power dissipation figures (14 August 2012‎). -- I think the relevance is proven. That's why I think it should be kept or merged back to the lemma "Processor power dissipation", where the list came from. -- Temdor ( talk) 01:49, 15 December 2023 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP of an actor, not properly sourced as passing WP:NACTOR. The attempted notability claim here is a minor bit part in an as-yet-unaired future television series, which is not sufficient in and of itself, and the only source shown is an unreliable franchise fansite which is not a WP:GNG-worthy source. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he has a stronger notability claim and better sourcing for it, but nothing here is already enough as of right now. Bearcat ( talk) 18:44, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply

That's for the discussion to decide, but for what it's worth it isn't generally good practice to redirect an actor to one specific work he was in, unless that's absolutely the only acting role he or she ever had in his or her entire career. Bearcat ( talk) 19:27, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment @ Kazamzam: wrote the following on my talk page "Hi, I saw your AfD for the second book in the Pendragon series and proposed a redirect to the main series article. Going through, I think that is the appropriate move for all of the other books as well. I checked all time of them and the best they had as an independent source was the Publisher's Weekly blurb and most didn't even have that. Would you be willing to put up the rest of the series under the umbrella of the AfD for the sake of expediency? Happy to discuss further but to me, none of these cut the mustard. Thanks"

Article created by a sockpuppet of Slowking4, an LTA who rapidly creates stubby biographies of marginal notability, probably for pay. This one is about a journalist who writes on many notable topics, but there's no evidence that he himself is notable. The references in the article are links to his biographies in various publications he's written for, all of which use almost identical text and provide no in-depth information. The most compelling of the refs provided is an interview about Liu Xiaobo, but it is from Human Rights Watch, an agency where he is a deputy director, and is still about the topic and not about the journalist. I did not turn up any sort of depth of coverage from the internet. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 17:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Not seeing anything that satisfies WP:MUSICIAN. The article states "Many of his personal & professional references are often citations of other self-generated web-pages, & content." Clarityfiend ( talk) 13:03, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Clear vandalism by some disgruntled disreputable third-party of unknown origin, and who wishes to hide in the shadows. This is cancel-culture garbage in the worst of ways.
The individual who made the Dec 1 change(s) to this page did not even provide a Wiki account, and flagrantly disregarded many publicly available third-party sources lauding and describing Mr. Thaler's continuing work, credentials, and music industry experience. AllMusic, Discogs, Modern Drummer Magazine, Sticks 'n Skins (hard cover book), L'est Republican newspaper, Sabian, The Sound Collective NYC, SAE Institute, The Future Music Forum, Sync Summit, Monday Magazine, Stuff, ACast, CBC, Fountain.fm, Urban Music Scene, etc etc etc. There are such a large number of articles dating back to the 90's/2000's available for review that it is comical how inappropriate this vandalism is, or that Wiki does nothing to eject the perpetrator. Further, the edits posted purposely and aggressively defamed Mr. Thaler and others, even in "colloquial" language and terminology, is this common practice at Wiki to allow this? This article, as you can see, remained on Wiki for at least 10 years without any incident or demonization, only to be attacked multiple times beginning during Covid. This is reprehensible. HarleyMarcos ( talk) 04:57, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - The nomination and first vote above appear to be reactions to some vandalism in the article, committed by an anonymous user on December 1 and later reverted. The obvious personal attacks in the December 1 version were somehow interpreted as poor article quality and non-notability, which I find to be a curious leap in logic. In the article history, you can see that before and after that date we have a pretty typical biography, perhaps with questionable notability but without any bad-faith shenanigans. Mr. Thaler is indeed a known instructional drummer and producer though I'm undecided on notability for the time being. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 13:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply

    @ Doomsdayer520: I'm going to add though, I still feel as if Thaler isn't notable, and the page creator (who replied to this AfD with a long rant about cancel culture) does seem to have a clear personal connection to the subject; this is the singular and only page this user has created, a good portion of their edits have been adding Thaler to other pages, and the only photos they have uploaded to Commons are both only of Thaler and literally the only pictures of Thaler on Commons at all. I still kind of feel like this article is more promotional than encyclopedic, and I have doubts about his notability minus his alleged production on other albums.

  • Delete. Southern News and The Charger Bulletin are the student-run newspapers at Southern Connecticut University and the University of New Haven. They are therefore not WP:INDEPENDENT and get little or no weight in assessing whether the topic passes WP:GNG. In this case both schools compete in Division II, which is the third tier of college football below FBS and FCS. Moreover, neither program has a history of particular prominence even at the Division II or College Division levels. Purported rivalries between such lower-level programs with no real history of prominence are not necessarily notable. See WP:NRIVALRY ("Sports rivalries are not presumed notable.") My searches turned up some coverage of the basketball series, but a quick review didn't turn up anything of real depth about a football rivalry, just a couple brief passages. See this and this. If others come up with more/better coverage, I'll keep an open mind. Cbl62 ( talk) 22:24, 27 November 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Lack of actually in-depth, independent coverage as either a series of games (the actual topic of the article) or an alleged "rivalry". It's clear that the game series exists, but it is not an independently notable subject and should just be covered in brief at the articles on the teams or at the indistitutional articles under sections about sports/atheletics departments. The first source in the article is in-depth, but is not independent; the second is irrelevant to the subject (just a source for a particular date, and mentions only one team/institution and no "rivalry"). The third source, above, lacks depth and just mentions the "rivalry" then gives brief coverage of a specific game, while being dominated by notices of upcoming and unrelated events.
    As laid out in detail at User:SMcCandlish/Rivalry game mess, this is yet another case where the notion of rivalry game (an organized series of matches between two teams with a degree of geographical proximity, often but not always with a trophy and often but not always with a distinct name, sometimes with "Rivalry" in it) has been sorely confused with that of sport[s] rivalry (a sports subculture of antagonism between the fandoms of two teams). This is reparable with a bunch of article renaming and recategorization to account for the ambiguity (which has arisen because rivalry game is often reduced to rivalry as a shorthand in unclear sports journalism), and probably something that needs to be proposed for cleanup work at WT:SPORT.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  17:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Offwiki request by Generalissima. Rationale to come. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (no relation) 02:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Per the Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft, simply described as an ort ("location").
Macedonian imperialism and the Hellenization of the East (1924) names it as one of a number of locations Alexander marched through in his campaign in Mysia. An Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis (2004, pg. 986) describes it as a frontier marker of Kyzikos. Could find no other descriptions, so it appears to be some sort of non-notable geographical feature. If it was a town, only its name has survived. Generalissima ( talk) 02:24, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Agreed. Completely non-notable ancient location.
TheBritinator ( talk) 10:14, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. On the assumption that either could be the correct name, and since the linked page is just an index to PW, I checked the actual entries for both "Hermaion" and "Hermoton", in alphabetical order. PW has somewhat more to say than "a location":

Place in Mysia minor, known for the race and outwitting of the Parians on the Propontis and the Lampsacenes on the Hellespont in their dispute over the border of the territories on both sides. The name probably means a border marker made of stones or hill earth. It was 70 stadia from Parium and 200 stadia from Lampsacus. Presumably Hermaion from R. Kiepert's Map of Asia Minor B. 1, 13.5 km south of the ruins of Parium, 39 km southeast of Lampsacus, near Karajaly on the Karapunar (Black Fountain) Dan. It is very likely that Hermaion was called Hermoton in later times.

The article cites to Polyaenus for the race and outwitting of the Parians, and to Arrian for Hermoton. Here's what Polyaenus has to say in Strategemata, vi. 24:

The Lampsacenians and the Parians, who had a dispute about the boundaries of their respective territories, agreed each to dispatch a certain number of persons from one city to the other at an early hour of the morning; and wherever the two groups met, that spot should be the common boundary between their territories. The Lampsacenians persuaded the fishermen, who were employed along the road where the Parians were due to travel, to cook some fish on that morning, and make libations of wine, as a sacrifice to Poseidon; and then they should ask the Parians, as they passed by, to share with them in the sacrifice, in honour of the god. The Parians agreed, but one mouthful of fish, and one glass of wine, induced them to take a second, and so on; until so much time was lost, that the Lampsacenians arrived first at the Hermaeum, which is seventy stades from Parium, and two hundred from Lampsacus. By this trick, the Lampsacenians gained a large territory from the Parians, and the Hermaeum was established as the boundary between the two states.

Under "Hermoton", PW has this to say, citing Arrian's Anabasis of Alexander, i. 12. 6:

Place (small river, see Hermotus) in Mysia minor, station of Alexander's train from 334 BC. BC, between Colonae and the Granicus, probably the same as the Hermaion in Mysia minor.

And checking Arrian, there's not much to add, apart from Alexander sending out scouting parties ahead of the army, which are described in some detail, although whether this should fall under the heading of Hermoton or is simply adjacent to its mention is unclear. For transparency, I used Google Translate on both articles, then edited them for spelling and grammar in English; I also omitted some internal citations and technical abbreviations.
Neither of these sources expressly state that Hermaion or Hermoton was a town, although one might infer that from the way that it's mentioned in Arrian. The Barrington Atlas evidently regards it as a village or town. But irrespective of whether it was a permanently settled place, it does appear to have some significance of its own that wouldn't be fully covered under say, Parium or Lampsacus, to say nothing of Alexander. Certainly there's enough for a short article, just as there is in PW—where it's actually split between two articles.
I'm not aware of any policy that says that the subjects of Wikipedia articles must be more notable than those in other encyclopedias; as our space is practically unlimited and we have the potential to combine material from different sources—such as what Polyaenus and Arrian actually had to say, how the Barrington Atlas or other archaeological resources regard the place, etc. we should presumably have a lower bar for inclusion, not a higher one. An assertion of non-notability despite the above articles, and particularly the mention in Polyaenus, seems arbitrary to me, and contradicts the plain statement in our policy that notability is not temporary; locations that had some notability in the Greek world do not become non-notable because they have no importance to the modern world, or because our information about them is limited to what a few surviving passages in Greek writers have to say, and what can be inferred from them.

  • Keep based on discussion above, seems to meet WP:GNG and possibly the first criterion of WP:POPULATED but that's harder to establish.

  • Comment: I've expanded it a bit using the material I cited above. I thought about quoting it, but that's a Google Translate version of the text from PW and Polyaenus, edited a little by me for clarity—so I figured it'd be easier to summarize than trying to figure out how to cite as a translation. I didn't include all of the details, including the map citation, which mentions several locations I'm not sure whether to identify with the more recent geographical references. So there could be more material here—including whether the river mentioned with the map under "Hermaion" is the same as the Hermotus mentioned in PW.

Taking this to AfD because Speedy deletion was denied under "5C," but the individual has not obtained distinguished professorship. I don't see notability, but hoping those more academically inclined can determine if this is up to standards

Looking more carefully, though, the Woodburn Professorship is not a "one step beyond full professor" level of distinction, but rather something that is typically given to "mid-career" associate professors [34], so it probably doesn't pass #C5.

My findings are similar to David Eppstein's, but I would add that she was hired as head of department and subsequently appointed to an additional, higher-level administrative position, which offsets the breadth of the Woodburn professorships. I've done some polishing of the article to make notability clearer, and initially edit conflicted with the article creator, Vycl1994, making some of the same improvements.

  • Comment normally I'd expect a claim of a professorship to be supported by at least a direct mention on an institutional website. In this case, the current Woodburn professor appears to be someone quite different [38], while the source supporting Thompson's holding the post (since 2018) is her own 31-page CV available as a pdf from the currently cited source [39], the main web-page curiously not mentioning her professorship. I think other editors are correct that this professorship is a red herring anyway for notability. But is there any limit to our trust of academics, or do we believe the claims they put in their CVs without further verification? Elemimele ( talk) 11:21, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    • 5 links to a different department within the same university. The source found by David Eppstein indicates that multiple Woodburn Professorships can be awarded throughout different departments. See [40], and the Inside Higher Ed source that indicates Thompson holds her named professorship as of 2023. Vycl1994 ( talk) 12:59, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply
To answer the general question, I believe we have usually accepted CVs hosted by the university/department website, at least for reputable universities, though if reasonably challenged of course further verification becomes required. Espresso Addict ( talk) 03:56, 12 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Her Woodburn professor title is noted on the website of her department of which she is the chair here. These websites are usually not managed by a central unit at the university, and each office's website at college level is maintained/updated by their respective staff/admins.
Thompson has a role in the dean's office in addition to her chair role. Her dean's office page was updated today. Her Woodburn Professor title is reflected in her bio here. Oztanmeh ( talk) 01:56, 13 December 2023 (UTC) reply

After looking for sources to support this article for a book, I was able to find one review in Publishers Weekly, which is good. However, I only found one other review, which was from a questionable source. The author did go on the Today Show to discuss the book, but I think that has more to do with the first book, Why Men Love Bitches, than the notability of this book. I feel like notability of this book is on the line. Significa liberdade (she/her) ( talk) 00:37, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply
