This is going to be a weird one. I have no doubt in my mind that this topic is going to be notable. However, there have been no announcements/new coverage/reports of which candidates are contesting what making it WP:TOOSOON and potentially falling afoul of WP:CRYSTAL to have a article. Having empty tables helps nobody, we should only be having this article once multiple candidates have decided to contest specific seats under the coalitions banner (and there has been significant coverage of the said declarations).

A review of all of the sources listed in the article don't establish notability.

    As for reviews of the article by other users (not sure what you mean), it is not technically needed. If you have other sources about him (t his one may be considered disputable, perhaps) even in other languages, feel free to add them to the page or here, that's all I can say. The future of the article depends on what consensus emerges from this discussion. I for one, think he should rather be considered notable as meeting the criteria for creative professionals (which includes journalists, Sumit Kadel being presented as a f ilm critic among other things)) "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" (I think you can reasonably argue that he is widely cited by his peers) but I can only speak for myself.

Source by source (of the ones not clearly non-independent), the TechCrunch piece is an interview with one of the founders of the company (and therefore not independent), the Forbes article is written by a non-staff 'contributor' and therefore not considered reliable per WP:FORBESCON, the Diamanti piece is essentially just a how-to article that happens to use MinIO (and so not significant coverage), and The Register only mentions MinIO in passing as an example of open-source object storage (and so not significant coverage).

Fails the general and band-specific notability policies. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:43, 9 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: Wasn't gonna renominate so soon since I'm told that's inappropriate, but as I said in the last AfD which I started, I found much too little evidence of notability to be convinced this should stay. Why it was even restored after soft deletion I'm unsure; no new coverage was presented that would've given it any more hope. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 18:50, 9 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: This band has not only been around since 1998, but has featured at least two (former) members of notable bands ( Emperor's ex- Tchort and ex- Satyricon's Daniel "Død" Olaisen). UndergroundMan3000 ( talk) 23:11, 9 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Procedural Comment - This nomination was made just three days after a soft deletion due to minimal participation, and the article's creator apparently requested its reinstatement. I question the strategy of such a fast re-nomination as if something different will happen if you keep pounding away at it. I once did something similar and got yelled at by two different Admins for a procedural violation, with one actually threatening to ban me from AfD discussions. I have observed the current nominator practicing this same process several times in the past few weeks. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 01:57, 10 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep or merge - Keep, or merge to Tchort, Bernt Moen or Erlend Caspersen. -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 11:25, 10 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ Jax 0677 haven't you been told before not to vote like this? Keeping and merging are two different outcomes and you need to pick just one. You offered three different targets and you need to pick just one. It's clear you do this just because you don't want deletion or redirection to be the outcome of any AfD, but you never offer anything useful to any specific AfD when you do that. It's a waste of a comment and you really need to stop doing it. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 01:46, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
From personal experience, I concur with the above comment. Also, merging a band article to one of the members, over the others, violates policy when those members are of equal notability themselves. Being an inclusionist at the high level is okay but it still needs to be adequately justified in each specific discussion. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 15:54, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Reply - I don't think that it is a big deal if I vote "Keep or merge". It is similar to voting "Keep", but saying that "If the article cannot be kept, that it should be merged". The article should be merged to the most notable member of the band. If they are all equally notable, then as BrownHairedGirl once said, flip a coin to determine to which member the band name should be redirected. -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 21:50, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete (without prejudice) - My comments above are about procedural violations in the nomination and previous votes, though I have not yet voted myself. The band's situation is not quite as dire as the nominators in the two AfDs have implied. They have a brief biography at AllMusic ( [1]) though it doesn't really tell us much, and they have a few occasional album reviews and genre mag interviews (e.g [2], [3]). Overall, they're kind of close to notability but I will have to cite the significant coverage rule in concluding that the coverage just doesn't add up to encyclopedic standards. However, if someone finds anything useful I would not oppose reviving the article in the future. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:21, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Another Procedural Comment - I fear that this AfD is destined for an unsatisfactory "no consensus" - if an Admin simply counts votes. Instead, I implore the closing Admin to inspect the quality of the votes, because the "keep" votes above (edit: and below) violate various provisions of WP:ATA. I also recommend that someone with authority discuss re-nomination procedures with this AfD's nominator. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:25, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: I can only echo Star Mississippi's comment. Also, Keep even if there is not evidence of notability for this band is one of the most inexplicable comments I've seen at an AFD. Notability is generally the basis of a Keep argument. It doesn't help that only an editor advocating Delete is discussing the available sources which are typically the territory for those arguing Keep. Finally, closer's don't like to decide Merge/Redirect target articles by flipping a coin. That just increases the possibility of a Deletion review and being accused of casting a "supervote".

Vote for redirect/merge target

There has been no viable argument presented for redirecting at all, much less to whom. That is not automatically the decision when there is disagreement over keeping or deleting. Meanwhile, recall that this whole mess started because the nominator disagreed with a WP:REFUND after a previous soft deletion. Everything going on here is the result of conflicting policies. Good luck to the Admins who get stuck with this dog; consider discussing conflicting policies among yourselves instead of complaining about the resulting messy votes. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:42, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Reply - I disagree that "There has been no viable argument presented for redirecting". Thorsen is the lead singer, therefore, unless a good argument is made for a different band member, the history should be kept in tact by redirecting to him, or some other member of the band. -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 23:05, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
There is no consensus above to redirect. In fact, not one single vote above is to redirect, not even your vote which was a nonsensical "keep or merge". This voting scheme of yours assumes by fiat that the Admins will decide to redirect, making the vote bogus by design. There are two policy based votes to delete above, plus the nomination, and all other votes at least partially violate WP:ATA. The Admins will probably give up and declare "no consensus" anyway. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 17:49, 26 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - Per Doomsdayer520, they are kind of almost notable, but I don't think they cross the line under WP:NBAND under any criterion. Looking particularly at criterion 1, there is a book referenced on the page (McIver, 2005) which mentiones them on pages 41, 50 and 87. The mentions are brief and the main mention is on page 41, a short bio amounting to one good paragraph. The Allmusic bio is similarly short, and per WP:ALLMUSIC, there is no consensus on the source reliability, although past discussions tend to suggest SIGCOV may be supported by staff writer reviews there. However, this is not a review. Other sources are similarly problematic and self published sources shouldn't really be on the page. I don't believe this crosses the line, and although singers may be independently notable, notability is not inherited. Thus, I think this one is a delete. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 16:35, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Jax0677 has not identified a policy that supports merging or redirecting, and any such policy must also come with a viable argument about how it overcomes other policies that the rest of us (legitimate) voters have discussed specifically, such as WP:SIGCOV or WP:NBAND. This is a common pattern with that editor, which itself violates yet another policy at WP:JUSTVOTE. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 13:18, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Still waiting for a viable discussion on how WP:POFR is more important than the other policies already discussed, especially since that policy is almost entirely about pages with tricky titles and this AfD is about the completely different matter of whether a band is notable. Meanwhile, resorting to WP:IAR is disrespectful of the WP:CONSENSUS process. See also WP:JUSTAPOLICY. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 14:34, 6 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Severe lack of references to back up the information, and those that exist are all primary. Take away all the unsourced info and you'd be left with an article that doesn't really have a purpose to be its own - the content could really easily just be a part of BitTorrent instead of separate here.

Even if sources are added right now in this article, I still think it's wiser to have this info about torrent files just be a part of BitTorrent. Chifonr ( talk) 14:42, 24 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • 'unsourced info' seems verifiable and, frankly, much better written than BitTorrent#Design (which doesn't have references either). Would've been preferable to incorporate the content from the article into BitTorrent before considering deleting. PaulT2022 ( talk) 02:30, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    I'd prefer that too. I wouldn't want to see content lost if it is verifiable. In either case though this article would be deleted/redirected anyway right? A contributor can attempt to source the info here and publish in BitTorrent. Chifonr ( talk) 10:39, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    I don't have a strong opinion on that, I mostly commented to note that there are no obvious issues with the unreferenced portion of it in terms of WP:V.
    BitTorrent seems a little too big to merge Torrent file into it as of now, making Torrent file a viable content split per Wikipedia:Summary style. It's not like there are not enough reliable sources that discuss how torrent files are organised and work in depth, even if they aren't referenced currently. My impression on a cursory reading of BitTorrent, however, was that it's excessively bloated, especially BitTorrent#Design, and it might be possible to incorporate Torrent file content into it without making it too large, but it'd require cleaning up BitTorrent first and probably easier done through a regular editing process than an AfD-mandated merge.
    I wonder what other editors think. I also pinged a second major contributor to Torrent file, who wrote most of its content, although they don't seem to be active very often nowadays. PaulT2022 ( talk) 13:49, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    Absolutely agree, I too noticed it the other day when looking at BitTorrent: very bloated and lack of sources in places (which led to me reporting it). In my view the Torrent file article goes hand in hand with it in terms of cleaning up and restructuring. I still support the deletion of this article, assuming some of the good info here would make its way to a cleaned up BitTorrent. Chifonr ( talk) 21:05, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Keep. Poor sourcing is a problem but that is probably fixable. If content is moved to BitTorrent, this should become a redirect not a red link. So keep without prejudice to reworking of content which might leave this a redirect. Eluchil404 ( talk) 21:11, 30 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Keep. There are 17 articles currently present in the Template:BitTorrent "technology" subsection, all dealing with technical aspects of the BitTorrent protocol. The nominator hasn't advanced an argument for why this particular article should be merged into the BitTorrent article - which would imply the topic has some sort of general interest above all the other technical aspects of the protocol, which I don't think is true. And if the argument is that all 17 articles should be merged (after significant condensations), that's something I really think should be done only after consulting related WikiProjects. I also don't see a sourcing issue. Technical articles on recent software often rely on primary source documentation. Ceconhistorian ( talk) 01:38, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply

This article was clearly written by the company who created the software. The software itself is also most likely malicious, the possibility of which is mentioned nowhere on the page. It's also not significant enough to have a Wikipedia article, which is made apparent by the lack of real references (note: looking back, it also seems to cite a lot of fake reviews that I noticed while checking out the product for myself). This is clearly just a company trying to sell its sketchy PUP to people looking it up on Wikipedia to tell if it's legitimate or not. After looking through the article, it's most likely that the latter is the case. -A Fluffy Kitteh | FluffyKittehz User Profile Page 22:11, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - Notable. The Nagpur Today refs look like reliable, significant coverage. The xpresstimes.in ref is pay-to-play. Others refs seem independent and reliable but are either too short to establish notability or just passing mentions. Nagpur is a city the size of Brussels but Sangramsingh Thakur is still a Nagpur "hometown boy". It's reasonable that Nagpur Today would cover him in-depth when out-of-town media give more limited attention. This gives us enough to write a reliable article about Thakur and reliability is the ultimate motivation behind our notability guidelines.
-- A. B. ( talkcontribsglobal count) 16:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Notability cannot be established by articles in one publication. The references in The Nagpur Today also fall under the same principles as WP:RSNOI as they do not appear to be written by staff writers. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 19:30, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply
CNMall41, here's what the notability guideline says:
  • "…a series of publications by the same author or in the same periodical is normally counted as one source."( Notability#Notes, footnote 4)
My interpretation is that "a series of publications" does not refer to 2 or more unconnected articles. I think footnote 4 refers to serialized content (for example, a 3-day, 3-part series on a given topic). In that case, that footnote does not apply to this subject.
Over the course of 100s of AfDs [4] [5], I've never seen this footnote invoked before until this and another AfD today. That makes me think this is a narrow rule, otherwise, we'd be tossing out articles just because a subject's multiple references are only to New York Times articles or only to Economist articles.
As for WP:RSNOI, that guidance does not rule out using articles without bylines; it suggests that lack of a byline may be an indication of paid, promotional content. When I read the Nagpur Today articles, they did not appear to be paid content.
It'll be interesting to read how others view these 2 issues.
-- A. B. ( talkcontribsglobal count) 00:32, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the reply. What I am saying is if a single publication is the only one running stories that would count towards notability, we shouldn't just keep a page based on that. If the person is worthy of notice, they would receive coverage elsewhere as well. As far as RSNOI, you are correct that it does not rule out articles without bylines. It does however state "exercise caution in using such sources for factual claims or to establish notability." We have to look at each reference individually. Outside of The Nagpur Today, the references that talk in-depth about the subject are Outlook India with a byline of IANS which is a "guest post" and has no editorial oversight (I would consider this akin to WP:FORBESCON) and Xpress Times which is clearly marked as "brandspot" at the top with the byline of "Express Times Team" indicating churnalism. The others are mentions and bios. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 03:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Just using one example, would agree that this source counts towards notability? -- CNMall41 ( talk) 20:45, 7 November 2023 (UTC) reply

I'm not sure what this means. World doesn't have many profiles, except for on Maniadb, Korean music streaming sites(Vibe, Bugs), a brief article on NamuWiki, and an article archive within Naver Library. They were a bit popular in 1995, but unknown by many Korean music fans now due to the group disappearing (disbanding) after a singular album. I've done a lot of research after becoming a fan of this group and created the Wiki page so English information about them is more accessible, as the only information about them is on Korean based blogs, websites, and archives. Minusta5 ( talk) 00:41, 27 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Read WP:GNG, WP:NMUSIC, and WP:RS. And also fyi, the various profiles are unreliable sources, we are not interested in that, what we are more interested in here is what WP:SECONDARY WP:INDEPENDENT reliable sources are reporting. Being on a music streaming services doesn't equal having WP:SIGCOV coverage. Neither is Namuwiki (also used on the article) considered a reliable source, in fact the WP:KO community doesn't considered it as such per WP:KO/RS#UR, and it also falls under WP:UCG.

I'm mainly talking about the music magazine article reported by Kyunghyang Shinmun newspaper from the Naver Library archive in which I also stated above in a previous reply.

What would you recommend for more reliable sourcing? I believed that the source of the magazine X, with an article about World reported by a daily newspaper was reliable, but I'm not sure anymore. I agree that the other sources can be questionable. Minusta5 ( talk) 01:03, 3 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Hi. I searched a little bit and I could not find much coverage in news. That Kyunghyang Shinmun article you have there is basically the only reliable, significant coverage about the group I could find. There is a chance that there's more stuff about them somewhere, but I feel you'd have to go really hard researching to make a case. Look, I mean, I have my own token obscure K-pop groups too (Kkaebi Kkaebi, anyone?), but I'm not convinced they have a snowballs chance in hell of getting a Wikipedia page. (If you wanna know what I've seen for Kkaebi Kkaebi, it's about one article from a semi-reliable source, a now-dead profile page from when they debuted, and an incomplete magazine article posted on a blog.)
But if you're like me and desperately want to get your favorite obscure group a profile somewhere, there are alternative outlets! You could try the K-pop Fandom Wiki, where there aren't any standards for notability (and slightly weaker standards for referencing - for example, Allkpop and Soompi are allowed there but not advised here). Wuju Daisuki ( talk) 13:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Ha, I love Kkaebi Kkaebi! But compared to them, World was just one of the many early to mid 90s groups that disappeared after one album and left with no legacy besides those who suddenly remember 엄마들의 예감 from their childhood. So it was honestly very hard to gather info, which I managed to collect quite a lot! But I understand where you're coming from, I haven't thought about possibly making a profile in Fandom. My first thought was Wikipedia since this is more "mainstream" and I'm more familiar with it, But I will definitely check that out! I've used Fandom before in the past many years ago, but haven't created a profile. Minusta5 ( talk) 16:35, 3 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Yeah, I just want to let you know that Wikipedia has way higher standards than your average fan profile or wiki, and you do need to get acquainted with those before you contribute. The reasons you're citing for why you created the page are the exact reasons it's not up to par for Wikipedia. You can't make a non-notable thing notable by putting up a Wikipedia article (as proven by the tons of businesses who've paid for an article and subsequently had it deleted for its lack of notability). But I understand your mindset. It's just that Wikipedia's not the right place. But If you really want something about World on here, there's a good amount of coverage (at least in Korean) on Kim Tae Hyung, one of the ex-Sobangcha members behind World - he doesn't even have a page yet, that would be a good one to make. World probably wouldn't be more than a light mention, but since it's a project he was behind I'd mention it. Wuju Daisuki ( talk) 21:27, 3 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete for not meeting notability guidelines. First off, I can read Korean. The Kyunghyang Shinmun source, I must say, is a pretty good source! Though it's not exclusively focused on World (the second half details another group called Boom), but it gives info on the members, their song, and the behind-the-scenes of their forming. But! That's the only reliable, significant coverage I could find. The other sources are very shaky - NamuWiki is a user-generated wiki with very low referencing standards (most of the time), ManiaDB is a database, though it's not a user-generated one (the Korean Wikipedia says the albums are recorded through "talent donations from music collectors"). Still, I don't think it establishes notability, seeing as all sorts of stuff is in there and it doesn't serve as much coverage other than saying "this exists." Discogs is much of the same case, but it's also user-generated and already under the perennial sources list as unreliable. So, the Kyunghyang source is basically the only thing holding it up, and as Paper9oll said, "one source is not SIGCOV period." (Apology in advance if I'm tripping over myself a little bit. This is my first venture into such a place.)
Oh, and also, I don't think this is definitive evidence, but the group World don't have a page on the Korean Wikipedia nor on NamuWiki. (For NamuWiki, the most they have on the group is a miniscule summary on a disambig. They do have an article on their song 엄마들의 예감, as seen on the page up for debate here.) I notice both of those have slightly lower inclusion standards than Enwiki, and plus they're from the country World originated from. So take that how you wish.

The Japanese article discusses this topic in greater depth. There have been municipal summits about this topic. There have been political disputes over the use of hiragana or katakana writing for place names (instead of the more traditional kanji).

Advertorialized WP:BLP of a spiritualist and writer, not properly sourced as passing Wikipedia inclusion criteria. This is based almost entirely on primary source content self-published by people or organizations directly affiliated with the claims (her own website about herself, her book sourced to its own publisher, events sourced to the self-published websites of their own organizers, etc.) with very little evidence of reliable source coverage about her in real WP:GNG-worthy media.
As always, people are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia just because it's possible to verify that they exist -- the significance of their work has to be externally validated by GNG-worthy third-party coverage about them. And furthermore, the advertorialism here has been flagged since 2012 without being noticeably toned down in the entire decade since then.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to pass GNG on her sourcing — but this, as written, is such a poorly sourced (self?)-promotional mess that even if legitimate GNG-worthy sourcing can be found to salvage it with, it would still need to be blown up and restarted from scratch regardless. Bearcat ( talk) 14:56, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Which I acknowledged in my nomination statement was possible, but I was also 100 per cent accurate when I assessed the existing article as such a highly advertorialized mess that the WP:TNT (blow it up and start over from scratch) treatment would be necessary even if better sourcing could be found. As I noted, the article has been tagged for neutrality and advertorialism issues since 2012 without ever being deadvertorialized at all, and we shouldn't be keeping articles in that state for a decade — even for a notable topic, if the existing article is this bad we have to delete it and restart a new article from scratch, and cannot just leave the advertorialism to rot for another decade because nobody's fixing it. Bearcat ( talk) 14:00, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Bearcat, this happens more often, sources tend to appear only when the article has been AfD'd, that's when they decide to take the tag(s) more serious and work on the article, and to be honest it sucks, however with the presented sources I am leaning towards keep per Bridget. dxneo ( talk) 17:31, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply

We should not split articles by ethnicity. This is a non-neutral POV fork of tulku intended as an attack page against Western tulkus. Tulkus are tulkus. The entire system is criticized, and there are non-western examples of misidentification. Skyerise ( talk) 11:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Given the significant expansion of the article since the above, I am now less certain that merging is appropriate. I would however suggest that POV issues remain, and also that any article on Western tulku's needs to make clear that this is not the sole cause of controversy regarding tulku lineages. It might possibly be better to have a subtopic article on tulku lineage controversies generally, though that isn't without its POV problems too. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 14:44, 5 November 2023 (UTC) reply
  • I am currently in the process of creating the page. Whether or not it should be merged cannot be surmised as I am currently, actively creating the page.
  • It is not a POV fork as the entire page is (as it stands) original, and there was no debate on the tulku page which I forked this off from.
  • As I explained already to User:Skyerise once, I am a Shingon Buddhist and have no problem with Western tulkus. I am working from reliable sources which can, and clearly do, contain criticism from some Western academics (which I do not necessarily agree with.)
  • This AfD request is the result of a threat by the nominator, after he "suggested" I merged the (unfinished, work-in-progess) page into Tulku, he said that if I did not merge it, he would tag it as an AfD. He has taken it in his own hands and has now created a copy of the (unfinished!) page there.
I recommend an admin immediately close this AfD and allow me to at least finish the page before a merge or deletion discussion begins. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 11:33, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Frankly, I think you would do better to work on improving the section in the main Tulku article. It provides all the broader context that a separate article lacks. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 12:05, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
The section did not previously exist (it was created when the nominator decided to boldly merge the unfinished page) and based on the sources I have, it may double the size of the page (or dwarf the rest of the page) and I do not want the more general tulku page to be dominated by discussions of non-Tibetan tulkus. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 12:08, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
There are estimated to be as many as 500 Tibetan tulku lineages. Only 1 of these is detailed in the history section. If the history were properly written, there is no way the 3 Western tulkus you've identified would dominate the article. The fact that that history is missing is no reason to fork the article. Skyerise ( talk) 22:16, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
And why should I care? I'm not editing the tulku page. I'm not forking anything because what I'm writing is entirely original. I'm not interested in re-writing the tulku page (yet). Merging the pages would immediately dominate the tulku page. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 04:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply
How about listing here a few of the major sources you intend to cite, to give an indication that this subtopic merits the depth of coverage you propose? AndyTheGrump ( talk) 12:14, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
If you check the Bibliography section on the page, you'll find some of my sources -- I usually add them before I start working so I don't forget them and I have them "on hand" instead of having to go and add new sources in between editing stints. Again, none of those were on the original Tulku page, they are only there because of someone's unilateral decision to merge the page. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 12:19, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Also, note that the page is already half the size of the original tulku page (6,774 bytes vs. 14,912 bytes) and I'm not even done with the meat-and-potatoes of the page yet. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 12:21, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Notably, there is no mention of social analysis or criticism of Western tulku holders, which is prominent in the sources listed on both pages. This seems to be in line with Skyereise's version of neutrality: a NPOV is when you include positive material about Western tulkus along with listing Western tulkus who have NOT been criticized, as they told me to do on my talk page.
In fact, this entire debacle was prompted by Skyerise considering an embryonic version of the page to be offensive because of its inclusion of critical analysis of the Western tulku phenomena (despite this analysis being well-sourced and properly attributed.) That the unilaterally-merged version of the page at Tulku#Western tulku contains no mention of the social or political ramifications of Westerners being recognized as tulku should be telling.
There is some of this now; but the tulku page is fast being drowned out by discussion of Western tulku, which is exactly what I did not want to do and hence why I intended it as a separate page. Anyway, I stand by the claim that the clandestine merge is willfully deceptive. The claim is that I forked Western tulku out of Tulku as an attack page, and to substantiate this, Skyerise has been merging the pages without following WP:MERGEPROP (which is contradictory to the AfD proposal since clearly he thinks the page has useful content.) The AfD, anyway, is the result of a threat that if I did not merge the page as per his suggestion, he would mark it for deletion. I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but this has been incredibly frustrating to try and create a page in good faith and be disrupted by redundant drive-by tagging, clandestine merges, AfD threats, among other things.

-- MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 05:20, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: The primary reason not to separate Western tulkus from the tulku page is that Western tulkus are an integral part of the tulku system. They are part of the continuation of Tibetan tulku lineage into which they were recognized. The tulku article will be providing a summary of the history of each tulku lineage. These Westerners will be covered at part of their respective tulku lineages. To split the article is to take the Western tulkus out of the historical context of their lineages.
The second reason not to split the article is that Western tulkus are not like Plastic shamans. Western tulkus are made by high Tibetan lamas. While there is criticism about these Western tulkus, the Westerners are not at fault. The fault is in the system itself and the criticism, at least from the Tibetan side, is not about the shortcomings of the Western tulkus, but rather accrues to the high lamas who made them. Splitting the article seems to be an attempt to isolate these lamas from any criticism of their actions by making the article solely about the perceived faults of the Westerners themselves, out of context of the system and individual decisions of lamas to recognize them.
Western lamas and their faults simply reflect the faults of the system and the lamas who made them. This is best presented in a unified article. Skyerise ( talk) 12:29, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply
They aren't an integral part of the tulku system. They're a marginal part of it and there are only a handful of Western tulku while there are literally hundreds of Tibetan tulku. Western tulku, on the other hand, have generated a disproportionate amount of (English-language) literature regarding the globalization of Tibet Buddhism, which threatens to overtake the original tulku article as the Western tulku article is now over half the length of the older one...although it's now hard to gage since someone has been copying prose and references. That is why I created a separate article instead of adding to the older one.
Anyway, none of your other points are relevant, especially not to a deletion discussion. At best your argument is for merging, which you've already attempted (and your clandestine merge I still find to be incredibly deceptive.) You abandoned the merge proposal when you opened this AfD, following through on a threat after I declined to merge the article I was working on because you were offended. You keep referring to splitting the article and how this has something to do with "criticizing Western tulku", as if I've forked an article out to dunk on them -- which I haven't -- everything is entirely original and reflects the sources I have on hand. I'm sorry the sources offend you but that's what they say. A significant amount of the literature published is critical and I've done my best to attribute those opinions to their respective authors. If you don't like that, go publish your own research responding to them. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 16:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The subject is notable, and has received its own coverage independent of the main tulku tradition. If it were merged most of it would probably be WP:UNDUE there. Johnbod ( talk) 03:30, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply
    The coverage is not independent. All coverage describes the tulku system and also involves the Tibetan lamas who created the Western tulkus. The Western tulkus themselves are the current lineage holders of the Tibetan traditions which they hold. They are not distinguished as inferior within Tibetan Buddhism itself. They are not only Tibetan Buddhists, they are recognized functionaries of the religion, members of specific schools, and typically have been students and practitioners within the system for decades before being recognized (unless recognized shortly after birth). Article singles out and attacks "white people". Skyerise ( talk) 10:38, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply
    Most of the coverage is independent; indeed rather more so than most coverage of Tibetan religious subjects in English, which tends to be "in universe". The rest of your points don't bear on this Afd. This article has obviously got under your skin, for reasons I don't really understand. Your behaviour around this article has been disgraceful, and I'd strongly advise you to show some restraint. Johnbod ( talk) 17:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply

A self-described master-comment. If you want to discuss conduct, take it to the WP:AN thread. This is not the place. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 10:33, 5 November 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I have struck some of my earlier comments here and I am going to refrain from discussing this outside of this page (since it has flowered out into numerous other pages) but I would like to make a sort of master-comment. I no longer want this page draftified because I fear that when I do finish the page, most of what I have written will have been merged into the older Tulku page. First, in regards to particular arguments:
  • "We should not split articles by ethnicity." There is no policy on this and indeed for certain topics splitting by "ethnicity" is necessary for a topic such as this one...where a religious, feudal concept is transposed on to the modern west.
  • "This is a non-notable topic." This is not original research and there are a number of studies dealing with this phenomena, in particular:
See also Miller, Andrea (12 March 2021). "Magical Emanations: The Unexpected Lives of Western Tulkus". Lion's Roar. Retrieved 30 October 2023.
In other words, there is plenty of reason to treat Western tulku separately. Further, per @ Johnbod: merging the pages would give WP:UNDUE weight to Western tulku.
  • "This is a POV fork." Every criticism of Western tulku given here is properly attributed in accordance with WP:BLP. There is no evidence that the page is non-neutral past irrelevant musing on the relationship between Western tulku and their masters.
Next, I want to point out that this entire AfD proposal is in bad faith. Since the beginning, User:Skyerise has engaged in disruptive editing, including:
  • Threats; [1]
  • Refusal to assume (or accept) good faith; [2]
  • Canvassing; [3]
  • Purposefully creating edit conflicts, as they did not want to "let [me] finish" a completely misguided page per their own words; [4]
  • Censorship, removing mentions of race where it is present in the original source; and [5]
  • Merging against policy (i.e., without consensus), which is especially deceptive since they have been falsely claiming it is a fork which was split off the older Tulku page. [6]
I think that it is important to note that according to their user page, Skyerise is a western Tibetan Buddhist. This isn't exactly a conflict of interest but it seems to me to be a pretty clear-cut case of attempted censorship and POV-pushing based on Skyerise's personal offense taken at the criticism academics have levied against certain Western tulku or the concept of "tulku envy".
Apologies for the long comment, but this is incredibly stressful and I have to deal with white Buddhist rage enough as it is.-- MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 11:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply

References

  1. ^ As per WP:HARASS, threats to disrupt one's editing are against policy. As per WP:ATD, merges are alternatives to deletion, threatening to propose a page for deletion for not following one's suggestion to merge the pages is incredibly disruptive. On my talk page: I suggest you merge this material to Tulku. If not, I will Afd the article as not a notable subtopic, a POV fork, and an attack page. On the talk page for Western tulku: Honestly I should speedy it as an attack page.
  2. ^ On my talk page, I asked them to [p]lease assume good faith. For what it is worth, I am a Shingon Buddhist and I do not have anything against Western tulkus. They have continually claimed that I am singling out white people, including here, well after this.
  3. ^ Skyerise contacted User:Joshua Jonathan and User:Scyrme asking that they participate in the deletion discussion. In Skyerise's defense, they justified this as getting more eyes on the dispute. They did, immediately after contacting these users, warned me that I would be getting feedback about [splitting pages by ethnicity] from other editors soon enough here, which is ominous, to say the least.
  4. ^ Skyerise understands and respects the {{WIP}} template when they are using it (see their comment here), but ignore it on pages they apparently don't like, here and here and here and here and other places too.
  5. ^ They removed the word "white" from a sentence where it was necessary to disambiguate white Western tulkus from Western tulkus of Asian (e.g. Tibetan, Mongol) heritage. Here, they removed the word " Caucasian" because it sounded racist to them, which rendered something factually incorrect and contrary to the source in question: the first Western tulku were of Tibetan or partial Tibetan descent. They also removed a link to cultural appropriation here, their rationale was that tibetans encourage, not discourage, adoption of their beliefs; western tulkus do not make themselves: they are made by Tibetans which is irrelevant (even if it is true) given that the academic sources mention cultural appropration by name.
  6. ^ For example, here and here. They've literally been watching me develop the Western tulku page and merging whatever they can.

  1. There is no youth council supported by the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, and only the "Korea Children's Assembly" is held every year, which is an experiential activity. 'National Youth Assembly' is not official assembly run by government, it is only kind of civic movement group.
  2. Members of the 'council' are not elected by election, but are arbitrarily selected from the executive branch of adults.
  3. This organization has been criticized by Korean Intellectual Property Office and youth activity groups due to many operational problems, such as promotion through false or exaggerated information. Korean Government officially denied its relationship between National Youth Assembly. [1]

We have just had the 2023 local government elections. There have been no reforms to local government since then which might merit mentioning in this article. It is far too early for people to announce their candidacies. In short, this article was created too soon. Steelkamp ( talk) 03:20, 24 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Oppose deletion - Understand the points raised but I think given it's a periodic election (ie we are able to get clearer information on exactly who is up for election etc) plus the fact it's pretty standard, at least in my experience editing Australian elections, for the very next election to get its own page as soon as possible which can be added to.

No indication of notability per WP:GNG, WP:NACTOR. Only roles so far have been one episode of an animated series, and three uncredited roles, and it's not clear yet how big the roles are for the two upcoming films. I can find no evidence that he won a BET award.

Hello, according to the information provided you can see that it is an article by a person who has been recognized very recently, super reliable sources are shown and the arguments are Well reformulated, no errors found, I propose that your nomination be canceled and this article removed until more references are obtained from more relevant media.
Let us remember that not every user can create an article on Wikipedia, and we have also seen the support of several collaborators such as User:Slgrandson, User:AnomieBOT, User:Onel5969, User:Certes, User:GoingBatty, among others. Also that all the information has been provided in recent months, that is, if we give time to get more information to verify this article, we can leave this call open, while you fix the errors you found and try to remove the payroll deletion notice from the item.
Also if someone else would be interested in helping with the collaboration of such an article, it would be much better for everyone, also since I have been able to observe that there are some articles with only 4 references and they are not nominated for deletion, I thank you very much for your supervision, this helps me a lot to improve when it comes to creating articles, but please let's wait until I can fix this error , I thank you a thousand times for your notification, while we correct the error, your alert could be removed from the article.
Thank you Michellelopez1234 ( talk) 04:45, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
My collaboration was limited to replacing a link to Model by a more specific one to Model (person). I didn't assess the subject's notability. Certes ( talk) 09:56, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Michellelopez1234: Similarly, my one edit before today was to remove overlinking. This edit (or the copyediting I did today) should not be considered when evaluating if Guillart meets Wikipedia's notability criteria.
Yes, there are many articles that are poorly referenced, and these should not be used when evaluating if Guillart meets Wikipedia's notability criteria per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

I'd be open to placing light protection on the article title but I think full protection is overkill if it is only due to the actions of an IP account who is obviously unfamiliar with Wikipedia's policies. I also think heavier protection is warranted if an article has been created multiple times which isn't the case here. Of course, we might run into a CSD G4 situation but that can be dealt with.

The result was merge‎ to Timeline of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. This kind of discussion leads to a no-win type of closure but I think a Merge will address both those who believe this article should be Deleted (as this page will become a Redirect after Merger) and preserve some of the content for those who argue that it should be Kept. I will say that I briefly considered closing this as a procedural Keep as there wasn't a strong, policy-based deletion rationale but given the depth and breadth of the discussion that has evolved, I think that decision would have been disruptive.

This is not a lastingly significant event in this conflict, he doesn't appear to be that senior of a member of the organisation, and it's not even clear that it's actually an assassination (Hamas are blatant liars, and anything they say should be taken with a massive grain of salt).

Minutes later, the nominator also accused me of being a “fool” and not knowing how to edit (i.e. WP:CIR). I have absolutely no idea what brought on the personal attacks, but whatever.

    • My complaints about WW's conduct are due to them placing the accusations of Hamas (who have blatantly lied during this conflict, such as denying the massacres of civilians they clearly commited) in wikivoice when this is clearly inappropriate, and then reverting with no edit summaries an attempt to correct this [19], which also re-introduced an error that WW made calling Omar the "leader of Hamas", which is just blatantly wrong. In my opinion, it displays a lack of competence to edit this contentious topic area. My tone was one of intense exasperation rather than personal venom.

I get what you mean, but even when I was trying to have a genuine conversation, you just weren’t civil and are still accusing me of WP:CIR style stuff. I would have proposed a WP:MUTUAL for us to both leave the article, as one, I may not have the knowledge to edit this topic and you are not editing in good faith, or at least not really showing you are. The AfD complicates that though. I would still like to propose a MUTUAL thought, i.e. we both stop editing this AfD & article and let the community figure it out. Agreed?

Note that minutes before nominating for deletion @ Hemiauchenia blanked a number of sources here [20] with the edit summary "Reverting to the least terrible version, though whether this should be a standalone article is questionable". That edit summary, IMHO doesn't explain the edit, and the removal of sources seems to be attempt to undermine the article just before nomination.
In the alternative, draftify. Oblivy ( talk) 00:53, 24 October 2023 (UTC) reply
I reverted to this version primarily because it accurately stated in prose what happened, Omar Daraghmeh died in prison, Hamas and PIJ claimed it was an assasssination. WW's version stated definitively that he was assassinated, which was not appropriate. If you look at the actual sources covering this, like Reuters, The Times of Israel, Al Arabiya, they're all incredibly brief, maybe 3 paragraphs at most. There just isn't much to say about this event, which reliable sources don't seem to consider that significant. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 00:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC) reply

My first talk page question was and I quote, "Why is “assassination” not a neutral title? Two RS sources, Al Jazeera and Reuters used it ( Reuters article)}}". Nothing else. The response you responded to that started with and I quote, "Jesus fucking christ"... You aren't going after a notability reason, but rather a POV reason. That is the whole issue.

  • Speedy Keep - I chose not to comment earlier as I was wondering if anyone else would resurrect Oblivy's self-expunged SPEEDYKEEP #2. Since no one did, I will do so. I think that the article is in desperate need of cleanup and rewriting, probably to the point of TNT and certainly worthy of Draftify. However, you can't SPEEDY to either of those resolutions. The Talk commentary by the nominator -- specifically the use of obscenity, abuse, and insults -- seems to me to express open malice which satisfies CSK #2d. I cannot view this nomination as a good faith effort to improve the encyclopaedia; it appears driven by a desire to punish an editor based on their good-faith beliefs and reasonable edits. If brought by a neutral editors, I would happily !vote to TNT the article. Cheers, Last1in ( talk) 15:57, 6 November 2023 (UTC) reply

WP:TOOSOON. This article is based off of early highly-speculative articles for an election that is entirely WP:Crystal Ball at this moment. It is also written with the presumption that the next leadership election will be to succeed Sunak. Likely, but that would be entirely presumptuous and WP:Crystal Ball given it is not an impossibility that the party’s next leadership election sees Sunak seek to remain leader while facing a challenger, as Thatcher did in both 1989 and 1990 (and Labour’s Kinnock did in 1988).

This is going to be a weird one. I have no doubt in my mind that this topic is going to be notable. However, there have been no announcements/new coverage/reports of which candidates are contesting what making it WP:TOOSOON and potentially falling afoul of WP:CRYSTAL to have a article.

  • Delete: Wasn't gonna renominate so soon since I'm told that's inappropriate, but as I said in the last AfD which I started, I found much too little evidence of notability to be convinced this should stay. Why it was even restored after soft deletion I'm unsure; no new coverage was presented that would've given it any more hope. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 18:50, 9 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Procedural Comment - This nomination was made just three days after a soft deletion due to minimal participation, and the article's creator apparently requested its reinstatement. I question the strategy of such a fast re-nomination as if something different will happen if you keep pounding away at it. I once did something similar and got yelled at by two different Admins for a procedural violation, with one actually threatening to ban me from AfD discussions. I have observed the current nominator practicing this same process several times in the past few weeks. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 01:57, 10 October 2023 (UTC) reply

    @ Jax 0677 haven't you been told before not to vote like this? Keeping and merging are two different outcomes and you need to pick just one. You offered three different targets and you need to pick just one. It's clear you do this just because you don't want deletion or redirection to be the outcome of any AfD, but you never offer anything useful to any specific AfD when you do that. It's a waste of a comment and you really need to stop doing it. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 01:46, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
From personal experience, I concur with the above comment. Also, merging a band article to one of the members, over the others, violates policy when those members are of equal notability themselves. Being an inclusionist at the high level is okay but it still needs to be adequately justified in each specific discussion. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 15:54, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Reply - I don't think that it is a big deal if I vote "Keep or merge". It is similar to voting "Keep", but saying that "If the article cannot be kept, that it should be merged". The article should be merged to the most notable member of the band. If they are all equally notable, then as BrownHairedGirl once said, flip a coin to determine to which member the band name should be redirected. -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 21:50, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete (without prejudice) - My comments above are about procedural violations in the nomination and previous votes, though I have not yet voted myself. The band's situation is not quite as dire as the nominators in the two AfDs have implied. They have a brief biography at AllMusic ( [1]) though it doesn't really tell us much, and they have a few occasional album reviews and genre mag interviews (e.g [2], [3]). Overall, they're kind of close to notability but I will have to cite the significant coverage rule in concluding that the coverage just doesn't add up to encyclopedic standards. However, if someone finds anything useful I would not oppose reviving the article in the future. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:21, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Another Procedural Comment - I fear that this AfD is destined for an unsatisfactory "no consensus" - if an Admin simply counts votes. Instead, I implore the closing Admin to inspect the quality of the votes, because the "keep" votes above (edit: and below) violate various provisions of WP:ATA. I also recommend that someone with authority discuss re-nomination procedures with this AfD's nominator. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:25, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: I can only echo Star Mississippi's comment. Also, Keep even if there is not evidence of notability for this band is one of the most inexplicable comments I've seen at an AFD. Notability is generally the basis of a Keep argument. It doesn't help that only an editor advocating Delete is discussing the available sources which are typically the territory for those arguing Keep. Finally, closer's don't like to decide Merge/Redirect target articles by flipping a coin. That just increases the possibility of a Deletion review and being accused of casting a "supervote".

Vote for redirect/merge target

There has been no viable argument presented for redirecting at all, much less to whom. That is not automatically the decision when there is disagreement over keeping or deleting. Meanwhile, recall that this whole mess started because the nominator disagreed with a WP:REFUND after a previous soft deletion. Everything going on here is the result of conflicting policies. Good luck to the Admins who get stuck with this dog; consider discussing conflicting policies among yourselves instead of complaining about the resulting messy votes. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 16:42, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Reply - I disagree that "There has been no viable argument presented for redirecting". Thorsen is the lead singer, therefore, unless a good argument is made for a different band member, the history should be kept in tact by redirecting to him, or some other member of the band. -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 23:05, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
There is no consensus above to redirect. In fact, not one single vote above is to redirect, not even your vote which was a nonsensical "keep or merge". This voting scheme of yours assumes by fiat that the Admins will decide to redirect, making the vote bogus by design. There are two policy based votes to delete above, plus the nomination, and all other votes at least partially violate WP:ATA. The Admins will probably give up and declare "no consensus" anyway. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 17:49, 26 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - Per Doomsdayer520, they are kind of almost notable, but I don't think they cross the line under WP:NBAND under any criterion. Looking particularly at criterion 1, there is a book referenced on the page (McIver, 2005) which mentiones them on pages 41, 50 and 87. The mentions are brief and the main mention is on page 41, a short bio amounting to one good paragraph. The Allmusic bio is similarly short, and per WP:ALLMUSIC, there is no consensus on the source reliability, although past discussions tend to suggest SIGCOV may be supported by staff writer reviews there. However, this is not a review. Other sources are similarly problematic and self published sources shouldn't really be on the page. I don't believe this crosses the line, and although singers may be independently notable, notability is not inherited. Thus, I think this one is a delete. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 16:35, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Jax0677 has not identified a policy that supports merging or redirecting, and any such policy must also come with a viable argument about how it overcomes other policies that the rest of us (legitimate) voters have discussed specifically, such as WP:SIGCOV or WP:NBAND. This is a common pattern with that editor, which itself violates yet another policy at WP:JUSTVOTE. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 13:18, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Still waiting for a viable discussion on how WP:POFR is more important than the other policies already discussed, especially since that policy is almost entirely about pages with tricky titles and this AfD is about the completely different matter of whether a band is notable.

Severe lack of references to back up the information, and those that exist are all primary. Take away all the unsourced info and you'd be left with an article that doesn't really have a purpose to be its own - the content could really easily just be a part of BitTorrent instead of separate here.

    I'd prefer that too. I wouldn't want to see content lost if it is verifiable. In either case though this article would be deleted/redirected anyway right? A contributor can attempt to source the info here and publish in BitTorrent. Chifonr ( talk) 10:39, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    I don't have a strong opinion on that, I mostly commented to note that there are no obvious issues with the unreferenced portion of it in terms of WP:V.
    BitTorrent seems a little too big to merge Torrent file into it as of now, making Torrent file a viable content split per Wikipedia:Summary style. It's not like there are not enough reliable sources that discuss how torrent files are organised and work in depth, even if they aren't referenced currently. My impression on a cursory reading of BitTorrent, however, was that it's excessively bloated, especially BitTorrent#Design, and it might be possible to incorporate Torrent file content into it without making it too large, but it'd require cleaning up BitTorrent first and probably easier done through a regular editing process than an AfD-mandated merge.
    I wonder what other editors think. I also pinged a second major contributor to Torrent file, who wrote most of its content, although they don't seem to be active very often nowadays. PaulT2022 ( talk) 13:49, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    Absolutely agree, I too noticed it the other day when looking at BitTorrent: very bloated and lack of sources in places (which led to me reporting it). In my view the Torrent file article goes hand in hand with it in terms of cleaning up and restructuring. I still support the deletion of this article, assuming some of the good info here would make its way to a cleaned up BitTorrent. Chifonr ( talk) 21:05, 25 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Keep. Poor sourcing is a problem but that is probably fixable. If content is moved to BitTorrent, this should become a redirect not a red link. So keep without prejudice to reworking of content which might leave this a redirect. Eluchil404 ( talk) 21:11, 30 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Keep. There are 17 articles currently present in the Template:BitTorrent "technology" subsection, all dealing with technical aspects of the BitTorrent protocol. The nominator hasn't advanced an argument for why this particular article should be merged into the BitTorrent article - which would imply the topic has some sort of general interest above all the other technical aspects of the protocol, which I don't think is true. And if the argument is that all 17 articles should be merged (after significant condensations), that's something I really think should be done only after consulting related WikiProjects.

This article was clearly written by the company who created the software. The software itself is also most likely malicious, the possibility of which is mentioned nowhere on the page. It's also not significant enough to have a Wikipedia article, which is made apparent by the lack of real references (note: looking back, it also seems to cite a lot of fake reviews that I noticed while checking out the product for myself). This is clearly just a company trying to sell its sketchy PUP to people looking it up on Wikipedia to tell if it's legitimate or not. After looking through the article, it's most likely that the latter is the case. -A Fluffy Kitteh | FluffyKittehz User Profile Page 22:11, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - Notable. The Nagpur Today refs look like reliable, significant coverage. The xpresstimes.in ref is pay-to-play. Others refs seem independent and reliable but are either too short to establish notability or just passing mentions. Nagpur is a city the size of Brussels but Sangramsingh Thakur is still a Nagpur "hometown boy". It's reasonable that Nagpur Today would cover him in-depth when out-of-town media give more limited attention. This gives us enough to write a reliable article about Thakur and reliability is the ultimate motivation behind our notability guidelines.
-- A. B. ( talkcontribsglobal count) 16:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Notability cannot be established by articles in one publication. The references in The Nagpur Today also fall under the same principles as WP:RSNOI as they do not appear to be written by staff writers. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 19:30, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply
CNMall41, here's what the notability guideline says:
  • "…a series of publications by the same author or in the same periodical is normally counted as one source."( Notability#Notes, footnote 4)
My interpretation is that "a series of publications" does not refer to 2 or more unconnected articles. I think footnote 4 refers to serialized content (for example, a 3-day, 3-part series on a given topic). In that case, that footnote does not apply to this subject.
Over the course of 100s of AfDs [4] [5], I've never seen this footnote invoked before until this and another AfD today. That makes me think this is a narrow rule, otherwise, we'd be tossing out articles just because a subject's multiple references are only to New York Times articles or only to Economist articles.
As for WP:RSNOI, that guidance does not rule out using articles without bylines; it suggests that lack of a byline may be an indication of paid, promotional content. When I read the Nagpur Today articles, they did not appear to be paid content.
It'll be interesting to read how others view these 2 issues.
-- A. B. ( talkcontribsglobal count) 00:32, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the reply. What I am saying is if a single publication is the only one running stories that would count towards notability, we shouldn't just keep a page based on that. If the person is worthy of notice, they would receive coverage elsewhere as well. As far as RSNOI, you are correct that it does not rule out articles without bylines. It does however state "exercise caution in using such sources for factual claims or to establish notability." We have to look at each reference individually. Outside of The Nagpur Today, the references that talk in-depth about the subject are Outlook India with a byline of IANS which is a "guest post" and has no editorial oversight (I would consider this akin to WP:FORBESCON) and Xpress Times which is clearly marked as "brandspot" at the top with the byline of "Express Times Team" indicating churnalism. The others are mentions and bios. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 03:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply

I'm not sure what this means. World doesn't have many profiles, except for on Maniadb, Korean music streaming sites(Vibe, Bugs), a brief article on NamuWiki, and an article archive within Naver Library. They were a bit popular in 1995, but unknown by many Korean music fans now due to the group disappearing (disbanding) after a singular album. I've done a lot of research after becoming a fan of this group and created the Wiki page so English information about them is more accessible, as the only information about them is on Korean based blogs, websites, and archives.

Read WP:GNG, WP:NMUSIC, and WP:RS. And also fyi, the various profiles are unreliable sources, we are not interested in that, what we are more interested in here is what WP:SECONDARY WP:INDEPENDENT reliable sources are reporting. Being on a music streaming services doesn't equal having WP:SIGCOV coverage.

What would you recommend for more reliable sourcing? I believed that the source of the magazine X, with an article about World reported by a daily newspaper was reliable, but I'm not sure anymore. I agree that the other sources can be questionable. Minusta5 ( talk) 01:03, 3 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Hi. I searched a little bit and I could not find much coverage in news. That Kyunghyang Shinmun article you have there is basically the only reliable, significant coverage about the group I could find. There is a chance that there's more stuff about them somewhere, but I feel you'd have to go really hard researching to make a case. Look, I mean, I have my own token obscure K-pop groups too (Kkaebi Kkaebi, anyone?), but I'm not convinced they have a snowballs chance in hell of getting a Wikipedia page. (If you wanna know what I've seen for Kkaebi Kkaebi, it's about one article from a semi-reliable source, a now-dead profile page from when they debuted, and an incomplete magazine article posted on a blog.)
But if you're like me and desperately want to get your favorite obscure group a profile somewhere, there are alternative outlets! You could try the K-pop Fandom Wiki, where there aren't any standards for notability (and slightly weaker standards for referencing - for example, Allkpop and Soompi are allowed there but not advised here). Wuju Daisuki ( talk) 13:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Ha, I love Kkaebi Kkaebi! But compared to them, World was just one of the many early to mid 90s groups that disappeared after one album and left with no legacy besides those who suddenly remember 엄마들의 예감 from their childhood. So it was honestly very hard to gather info, which I managed to collect quite a lot! But I understand where you're coming from, I haven't thought about possibly making a profile in Fandom. My first thought was Wikipedia since this is more "mainstream" and I'm more familiar with it, But I will definitely check that out! I've used Fandom before in the past many years ago, but haven't created a profile. Minusta5 ( talk) 16:35, 3 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Yeah, I just want to let you know that Wikipedia has way higher standards than your average fan profile or wiki, and you do need to get acquainted with those before you contribute. The reasons you're citing for why you created the page are the exact reasons it's not up to par for Wikipedia. You can't make a non-notable thing notable by putting up a Wikipedia article (as proven by the tons of businesses who've paid for an article and subsequently had it deleted for its lack of notability). But I understand your mindset. It's just that Wikipedia's not the right place. But If you really want something about World on here, there's a good amount of coverage (at least in Korean) on Kim Tae Hyung, one of the ex-Sobangcha members behind World - he doesn't even have a page yet, that would be a good one to make. World probably wouldn't be more than a light mention, but since it's a project he was behind I'd mention it. Wuju Daisuki ( talk) 21:27, 3 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete for not meeting notability guidelines. First off, I can read Korean. The Kyunghyang Shinmun source, I must say, is a pretty good source! Though it's not exclusively focused on World (the second half details another group called Boom), but it gives info on the members, their song, and the behind-the-scenes of their forming. But! That's the only reliable, significant coverage I could find. The other sources are very shaky - NamuWiki is a user-generated wiki with very low referencing standards (most of the time), ManiaDB is a database, though it's not a user-generated one (the Korean Wikipedia says the albums are recorded through "talent donations from music collectors"). Still, I don't think it establishes notability, seeing as all sorts of stuff is in there and it doesn't serve as much coverage other than saying "this exists." Discogs is much of the same case, but it's also user-generated and already under the perennial sources list as unreliable. So, the Kyunghyang source is basically the only thing holding it up, and as Paper9oll said, "one source is not SIGCOV period." (Apology in advance if I'm tripping over myself a little bit. This is my first venture into such a place.)
Oh, and also, I don't think this is definitive evidence, but the group World don't have a page on the Korean Wikipedia nor on NamuWiki. (For NamuWiki, the most they have on the group is a miniscule summary on a disambig. They do have an article on their song 엄마들의 예감, as seen on the page up for debate here.) I notice both of those have slightly lower inclusion standards than Enwiki, and plus they're from the country World originated from. So take that how you wish.

PROD by User:TartarTorte Upon WP:BEFORE, I could not find anything that would put this athlete over WP:GNG. Endorsed by me. This was then removed by the original creator, who added some sources. I am not satisfied that any of the new sources meet the requirements of GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC, both of which require significant coverage from sources that are independent of the subject. A source analysis will follow and this will analyse the 6 sources used in the article as well as the best 3 found in my own BEFORE search.

Advertorialized WP:BLP of a spiritualist and writer, not properly sourced as passing Wikipedia inclusion criteria. This is based almost entirely on primary source content self-published by people or organizations directly affiliated with the claims (her own website about herself, her book sourced to its own publisher, events sourced to the self-published websites of their own organizers, etc.) with very little evidence of reliable source coverage about her in real WP:GNG-worthy media.
As always, people are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia just because it's possible to verify that they exist -- the significance of their work has to be externally validated by GNG-worthy third-party coverage about them. And furthermore, the advertorialism here has been flagged since 2012 without being noticeably toned down in the entire decade since then.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to pass GNG on her sourcing — but this, as written, is such a poorly sourced (self?)-promotional mess that even if legitimate GNG-worthy sourcing can be found to salvage it with, it would still need to be blown up and restarted from scratch regardless. Bearcat ( talk) 14:56, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Which I acknowledged in my nomination statement was possible, but I was also 100 per cent accurate when I assessed the existing article as such a highly advertorialized mess that the WP:TNT (blow it up and start over from scratch) treatment would be necessary even if better sourcing could be found. As I noted, the article has been tagged for neutrality and advertorialism issues since 2012 without ever being deadvertorialized at all, and we shouldn't be keeping articles in that state for a decade — even for a notable topic, if the existing article is this bad we have to delete it and restart a new article from scratch, and cannot just leave the advertorialism to rot for another decade because nobody's fixing it. Bearcat ( talk) 14:00, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Bearcat, this happens more often, sources tend to appear only when the article has been AfD'd, that's when they decide to take the tag(s) more serious and work on the article, and to be honest it sucks, however with the presented sources I am leaning towards keep per Bridget. dxneo ( talk) 17:31, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply

We should not split articles by ethnicity. This is a non-neutral POV fork of tulku intended as an attack page against Western tulkus. Tulkus are tulkus. The entire system is criticized, and there are non-western examples of misidentification. Skyerise ( talk) 11:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Given the significant expansion of the article since the above, I am now less certain that merging is appropriate. I would however suggest that POV issues remain, and also that any article on Western tulku's needs to make clear that this is not the sole cause of controversy regarding tulku lineages. It might possibly be better to have a subtopic article on tulku lineage controversies generally, though that isn't without its POV problems too. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 14:44, 5 November 2023 (UTC) reply
  • I am currently in the process of creating the page. Whether or not it should be merged cannot be surmised as I am currently, actively creating the page.
  • It is not a POV fork as the entire page is (as it stands) original, and there was no debate on the tulku page which I forked this off from.
  • As I explained already to User:Skyerise once, I am a Shingon Buddhist and have no problem with Western tulkus. I am working from reliable sources which can, and clearly do, contain criticism from some Western academics (which I do not necessarily agree with.)
  • This AfD request is the result of a threat by the nominator, after he "suggested" I merged the (unfinished, work-in-progess) page into Tulku, he said that if I did not merge it, he would tag it as an AfD. He has taken it in his own hands and has now created a copy of the (unfinished!) page there.

Frankly, I think you would do better to work on improving the section in the main Tulku article. It provides all the broader context that a separate article lacks. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 12:05, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
The section did not previously exist (it was created when the nominator decided to boldly merge the unfinished page) and based on the sources I have, it may double the size of the page (or dwarf the rest of the page) and I do not want the more general tulku page to be dominated by discussions of non-Tibetan tulkus. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 12:08, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
There are estimated to be as many as 500 Tibetan tulku lineages. Only 1 of these is detailed in the history section. If the history were properly written, there is no way the 3 Western tulkus you've identified would dominate the article. The fact that that history is missing is no reason to fork the article. Skyerise ( talk) 22:16, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
And why should I care? I'm not editing the tulku page. I'm not forking anything because what I'm writing is entirely original. I'm not interested in re-writing the tulku page (yet). Merging the pages would immediately dominate the tulku page. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 04:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC) reply
How about listing here a few of the major sources you intend to cite, to give an indication that this subtopic merits the depth of coverage you propose? AndyTheGrump ( talk) 12:14, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
If you check the Bibliography section on the page, you'll find some of my sources -- I usually add them before I start working so I don't forget them and I have them "on hand" instead of having to go and add new sources in between editing stints. Again, none of those were on the original Tulku page, they are only there because of someone's unilateral decision to merge the page. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 12:19, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Also, note that the page is already half the size of the original tulku page (6,774 bytes vs. 14,912 bytes) and I'm not even done with the meat-and-potatoes of the page yet. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 12:21, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Notably, there is no mention of social analysis or criticism of Western tulku holders, which is prominent in the sources listed on both pages. This seems to be in line with Skyereise's version of neutrality: a NPOV is when you include positive material about Western tulkus along with listing Western tulkus who have NOT been criticized, as they told me to do on my talk page.
In fact, this entire debacle was prompted by Skyerise considering an embryonic version of the page to be offensive because of its inclusion of critical analysis of the Western tulku phenomena (despite this analysis being well-sourced and properly attributed.) That the unilaterally-merged version of the page at Tulku#Western tulku contains no mention of the social or political ramifications of Westerners being recognized as tulku should be telling.
There is some of this now; but the tulku page is fast being drowned out by discussion of Western tulku, which is exactly what I did not want to do and hence why I intended it as a separate page. Anyway, I stand by the claim that the clandestine merge is willfully deceptive. The claim is that I forked Western tulku out of Tulku as an attack page, and to substantiate this, Skyerise has been merging the pages without following WP:MERGEPROP (which is contradictory to the AfD proposal since clearly he thinks the page has useful content.) The AfD, anyway, is the result of a threat that if I did not merge the page as per his suggestion, he would mark it for deletion. I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but this has been incredibly frustrating to try and create a page in good faith and be disrupted by redundant drive-by tagging, clandestine merges, AfD threats, among other things.

  • Comment: The primary reason not to separate Western tulkus from the tulku page is that Western tulkus are an integral part of the tulku system. They are part of the continuation of Tibetan tulku lineage into which they were recognized. The tulku article will be providing a summary of the history of each tulku lineage. These Westerners will be covered at part of their respective tulku lineages. To split the article is to take the Western tulkus out of the historical context of their lineages.
The second reason not to split the article is that Western tulkus are not like Plastic shamans. Western tulkus are made by high Tibetan lamas. While there is criticism about these Western tulkus, the Westerners are not at fault. The fault is in the system itself and the criticism, at least from the Tibetan side, is not about the shortcomings of the Western tulkus, but rather accrues to the high lamas who made them. Splitting the article seems to be an attempt to isolate these lamas from any criticism of their actions by making the article solely about the perceived faults of the Westerners themselves, out of context of the system and individual decisions of lamas to recognize them.
Western lamas and their faults simply reflect the faults of the system and the lamas who made them. This is best presented in a unified article. Skyerise ( talk) 12:29, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply
They aren't an integral part of the tulku system. They're a marginal part of it and there are only a handful of Western tulku while there are literally hundreds of Tibetan tulku. Western tulku, on the other hand, have generated a disproportionate amount of (English-language) literature regarding the globalization of Tibet Buddhism, which threatens to overtake the original tulku article as the Western tulku article is now over half the length of the older one...although it's now hard to gage since someone has been copying prose and references. That is why I created a separate article instead of adding to the older one.
Anyway, none of your other points are relevant, especially not to a deletion discussion. At best your argument is for merging, which you've already attempted (and your clandestine merge I still find to be incredibly deceptive.) You abandoned the merge proposal when you opened this AfD, following through on a threat after I declined to merge the article I was working on because you were offended. You keep referring to splitting the article and how this has something to do with "criticizing Western tulku", as if I've forked an article out to dunk on them -- which I haven't -- everything is entirely original and reflects the sources I have on hand. I'm sorry the sources offend you but that's what they say. A significant amount of the literature published is critical and I've done my best to attribute those opinions to their respective authors. If you don't like that, go publish your own research responding to them. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 16:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The subject is notable, and has received its own coverage independent of the main tulku tradition. If it were merged most of it would probably be WP:UNDUE there. Johnbod ( talk) 03:30, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply
    The coverage is not independent. All coverage describes the tulku system and also involves the Tibetan lamas who created the Western tulkus. The Western tulkus themselves are the current lineage holders of the Tibetan traditions which they hold. They are not distinguished as inferior within Tibetan Buddhism itself. They are not only Tibetan Buddhists, they are recognized functionaries of the religion, members of specific schools, and typically have been students and practitioners within the system for decades before being recognized (unless recognized shortly after birth). Article singles out and attacks "white people". Skyerise ( talk) 10:38, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply
    Most of the coverage is independent; indeed rather more so than most coverage of Tibetan religious subjects in English, which tends to be "in universe". The rest of your points don't bear on this Afd. This article has obviously got under your skin, for reasons I don't really understand. Your behaviour around this article has been disgraceful, and I'd strongly advise you to show some restraint. Johnbod ( talk) 17:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply

A self-described master-comment. If you want to discuss conduct, take it to the WP:AN thread. This is not the place. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 10:33, 5 November 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I have struck some of my earlier comments here and I am going to refrain from discussing this outside of this page (since it has flowered out into numerous other pages) but I would like to make a sort of master-comment. I no longer want this page draftified because I fear that when I do finish the page, most of what I have written will have been merged into the older Tulku page. First, in regards to particular arguments:
  • "We should not split articles by ethnicity." There is no policy on this and indeed for certain topics splitting by "ethnicity" is necessary for a topic such as this one...where a religious, feudal concept is transposed on to the modern west.
  • "This is a non-notable topic." This is not original research and there are a number of studies dealing with this phenomena, in particular:
See also Miller, Andrea (12 March 2021). "Magical Emanations: The Unexpected Lives of Western Tulkus". Lion's Roar. Retrieved 30 October 2023.
In other words, there is plenty of reason to treat Western tulku separately. Further, per @ Johnbod: merging the pages would give WP:UNDUE weight to Western tulku.
  • "This is a POV fork." Every criticism of Western tulku given here is properly attributed in accordance with WP:BLP. There is no evidence that the page is non-neutral past irrelevant musing on the relationship between Western tulku and their masters.
Next, I want to point out that this entire AfD proposal is in bad faith. Since the beginning, User:Skyerise has engaged in disruptive editing, including:
  • Threats; [1]
  • Refusal to assume (or accept) good faith; [2]
  • Canvassing; [3]
  • Purposefully creating edit conflicts, as they did not want to "let [me] finish" a completely misguided page per their own words; [4]
  • Censorship, removing mentions of race where it is present in the original source; and [5]
  • Merging against policy (i.e., without consensus), which is especially deceptive since they have been falsely claiming it is a fork which was split off the older Tulku page. [6]
I think that it is important to note that according to their user page, Skyerise is a western Tibetan Buddhist. This isn't exactly a conflict of interest but it seems to me to be a pretty clear-cut case of attempted censorship and POV-pushing based on Skyerise's personal offense taken at the criticism academics have levied against certain Western tulku or the concept of "tulku envy".
Apologies for the long comment, but this is incredibly stressful and I have to deal with white Buddhist rage enough as it is.-- MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!( talk or whatever) 11:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC) reply

References

  1. ^ As per WP:HARASS, threats to disrupt one's editing are against policy. As per WP:ATD, merges are alternatives to deletion, threatening to propose a page for deletion for not following one's suggestion to merge the pages is incredibly disruptive. On my talk page: I suggest you merge this material to Tulku. If not, I will Afd the article as not a notable subtopic, a POV fork, and an attack page. On the talk page for Western tulku: Honestly I should speedy it as an attack page.
  2. ^ On my talk page, I asked them to [p]lease assume good faith. For what it is worth, I am a Shingon Buddhist and I do not have anything against Western tulkus. They have continually claimed that I am singling out white people, including here, well after this.
  3. ^ Skyerise contacted User:Joshua Jonathan and User:Scyrme asking that they participate in the deletion discussion. In Skyerise's defense, they justified this as getting more eyes on the dispute. They did, immediately after contacting these users, warned me that I would be getting feedback about [splitting pages by ethnicity] from other editors soon enough here, which is ominous, to say the least.
  4. ^ Skyerise understands and respects the {{WIP}} template when they are using it (see their comment here), but ignore it on pages they apparently don't like, here and here and here and here and other places too.
  5. ^ They removed the word "white" from a sentence where it was necessary to disambiguate white Western tulkus from Western tulkus of Asian (e.g. Tibetan, Mongol) heritage. Here, they removed the word " Caucasian" because it sounded racist to them, which rendered something factually incorrect and contrary to the source in question: the first Western tulku were of Tibetan or partial Tibetan descent. They also removed a link to cultural appropriation here, their rationale was that tibetans encourage, not discourage, adoption of their beliefs; western tulkus do not make themselves: they are made by Tibetans which is irrelevant (even if it is true) given that the academic sources mention cultural appropration by name.
  6. ^ For example, here and here. They've literally been watching me develop the Western tulku page and merging whatever they can.

  • I shalt solicit a delition of this document because information of unknown origin was included, and a large amount of information was found to be false as a result of fact-finding of the content; example of:
  1. There is no youth council supported by the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, and only the "Korea Children's Assembly" is held every year, which is an experiential activity. 'National Youth Assembly' is not official assembly run by government, it is only kind of civic movement group.
  2. Members of the 'council' are not elected by election, but are arbitrarily selected from the executive branch of adults.
  3. This organization has been criticized by Korean Intellectual Property Office and youth activity groups due to many operational problems, such as promotion through false or exaggerated information. Korean Government officially denied its relationship between National Youth Assembly. [1]

Hello, according to the information provided you can see that it is an article by a person who has been recognized very recently, super reliable sources are shown and the arguments are Well reformulated, no errors found, I propose that your nomination be canceled and this article removed until more references are obtained from more relevant media.
Let us remember that not every user can create an article on Wikipedia, and we have also seen the support of several collaborators such as User:Slgrandson, User:AnomieBOT, User:Onel5969, User:Certes, User:GoingBatty, among others. Also that all the information has been provided in recent months, that is, if we give time to get more information to verify this article, we can leave this call open, while you fix the errors you found and try to remove the payroll deletion notice from the item.
Also if someone else would be interested in helping with the collaboration of such an article, it would be much better for everyone, also since I have been able to observe that there are some articles with only 4 references and they are not nominated for deletion, I thank you very much for your supervision, this helps me a lot to improve when it comes to creating articles, but please let's wait until I can fix this error , I thank you a thousand times for your notification, while we correct the error, your alert could be removed from the article.

I'd be open to placing light protection on the article title but I think full protection is overkill if it is only due to the actions of an IP account who is obviously unfamiliar with Wikipedia's policies. I also think heavier protection is warranted if an article has been created multiple times which isn't the case here. Of course, we might run into a CSD G4 situation but that can be dealt with.

This kind of discussion leads to a no-win type of closure but I think a Merge will address both those who believe this article should be Deleted (as this page will become a Redirect after Merger) and preserve some of the content for those who argue that it should be Kept.

    • My complaints about WW's conduct are due to them placing the accusations of Hamas (who have blatantly lied during this conflict, such as denying the massacres of civilians they clearly commited) in wikivoice when this is clearly inappropriate, and then reverting with no edit summaries an attempt to correct this [19], which also re-introduced an error that WW made calling Omar the "leader of Hamas", which is just blatantly wrong.

I would have proposed a WP:MUTUAL for us to both leave the article, as one, I may not have the knowledge to edit this topic and you are not editing in good faith, or at least not really showing you are.

Note that minutes before nominating for deletion @ Hemiauchenia blanked a number of sources here [20] with the edit summary "Reverting to the least terrible version, though whether this should be a standalone article is questionable". That edit summary, IMHO doesn't explain the edit, and the removal of sources seems to be attempt to undermine the article just before nomination.
In the alternative, draftify. Oblivy ( talk) 00:53, 24 October 2023 (UTC) reply
I reverted to this version primarily because it accurately stated in prose what happened, Omar Daraghmeh died in prison, Hamas and PIJ claimed it was an assasssination. WW's version stated definitively that he was assassinated, which was not appropriate. If you look at the actual sources covering this, like Reuters, The Times of Israel, Al Arabiya, they're all incredibly brief, maybe 3 paragraphs at most. There just isn't much to say about this event, which reliable sources don't seem to consider that significant. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 00:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC) reply

The response you responded to that started with and I quote, "Jesus fucking christ"... You aren't going after a notability reason, but rather a POV reason. That is the whole issue.

There does not appear to be any evidence that this will meet WP:LASTING and will fail as NOTNEWS, and no evidence that DRAFTing will improve the article with time, so trimming (article is longer than sources) and merging into an appropriate target which exists is the best option. If subject develops sources with SIGCOV that show it passes WP:LASTING and is something more than routine news, article can be split back out easily.  //  Timothy ::  talk  17:05, 2 November 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy Keep - I chose not to comment earlier as I was wondering if anyone else would resurrect Oblivy's self-expunged SPEEDYKEEP #2. Since no one did, I will do so. I think that the article is in desperate need of cleanup and rewriting, probably to the point of TNT and certainly worthy of Draftify. However, you can't SPEEDY to either of those resolutions. The Talk commentary by the nominator -- specifically the use of obscenity, abuse, and insults -- seems to me to express open malice which satisfies CSK #2d. I cannot view this nomination as a good faith effort to improve the encyclopaedia; it appears driven by a desire to punish an editor based on their good-faith beliefs and reasonable edits. If brought by a neutral editors, I would happily !vote to TNT the article. Cheers, Last1in ( talk) 15:57, 6 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Note: I have struck what I consider to be an unfounded aspersion against me in the above post. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 17:11, 6 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Please do not ever change a post by another editor. I have changed my own wording to make clear that these are my impressions. You do not get to strike through things you do not agree with, especially after your own behaviour on the subject article's Talk. Cheers, Last1in ( talk) 19:39, 6 November 2023 (UTC) reply
Please review WP:RPA, and if you think somebody is acting in bad faith report it. You do not get to attack other editors in an AFD, if you think the nomination was disruptive then go report it. nableezy - 19:47, 6 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Next Conservative Party leadership election

WP:TOOSOON. This article is based off of early highly-speculative articles for an election that is entirely WP:Crystal Ball at this moment. It is also written with the presumption that the next leadership election will be to succeed Sunak. Likely, but that would be entirely presumptuous and WP:Crystal Ball given it is not an impossibility that the party’s next leadership election sees Sunak seek to remain leader while facing a challenger, as Thatcher did in both 1989 and 1990 (and Labour’s Kinnock did in 1988). Should be either deleted or draftified. SecretName101 ( talk) 00:39, 31 October 2023 (UTC) reply
