Free State of Chukotka

Free State of Chukotka (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Possibly a hoax. J. Minahan's book mentions the state in question very briefly and without any citations, and the two other sources don't mention "Free State of Chukotka" at all. Google search in Russian similarly yields only a few passing mentions on websites that don't look like reliable sources; no mentions in academic sources at all, which is unusual for historical states, even short-lived ones. Overall, the article fails WP:V. Finstergeist ( talk) 19:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politics and Russia. Owen× ☎ 19:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, either a hoax or not enough coverage in RS. Wikisaurus ( talk) 21:00, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, why would Minahan make this up? As far as I can tell every other entry in his book did exist, why would he decide to make up the free state of Chukotka specifically. Passing mentions are still mentions. Yes the State only existed for a few days, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist. Are you saying the soviets made up the whole RevKom situation? That Mikhail Mandrikov and Avgust Berzin, who have a statue in Andayr, where simply figments of Soviet propaganda? Scu ba ( talk) 01:51, 21 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    The anti-Soviet coup in Anadyr was definitely real, but I have yet to see any sources that link it to "Free State of Chukotka" or anything like that. So far the only sources that directly mention "Free State of Chukotka" are Minahan's book and this list of flags, everything else seems unrelated. The lack of coverage in works by professional historians is definitely suspicious. Finstergeist ( talk) 20:43, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    I can accept the flag being a hoax, this wouldn't be the first time this has happened with a remote anti-soviet government in Siberia, but there was still an anti-soviet government. If it wasn't called the free state, what was it called? Scu ba ( talk) 18:58, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Update: this page confirms both "Free State of Chukotka" and its "flag" to be a hoax made up by someone named O.I. Tarnovsky. "In 1990s some well-known Russian fake flag fabricator made "flag of Chukotka" and sent that flag to Pavillons, Flag Reports, etc. This seems to be also the origin of fake Civil War flags of Yakutia, Kamchatka, etc. and fake 1990's Russian Oblast and Republic flags" (see here at the bottom). Tarnovsky's publications also are likey to be the source for the entry in Minahan's list. So, Strong Delete. Finstergeist ( talk) 20:55, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    That's a blog, that has a .ru domain, we're going to need something a little more concrete, and editorial. Also that blog states that the 1991 free state was a hoax, not the 1921 version. Scu ba ( talk) 18:59, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    vexillographia.ru is not a blog but the official site of Russian Centre of Vexillology and Heraldry (member of FIAV), and it's generally considered to be a reliable source. The page states that Oleg Tarnovsky made up the existence of "Free State of Chukotka" (October 1921 - December 1922) after watching the movie Chief of Chukotka in the 1980s, and in early 1993 he has submitted his fabrications to some French and Spanish bulletins. This entirely explains the apparent lack of mentions of that "state" in any sources published before 1993. Finstergeist ( talk) 12:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Keep I don't see why Minahan would include a fictional state, it definitely existed for a short time but the mentions of the flag being a hoax may be right and need to be looked into and verified but I see no reason to delete the page. AvailableViking ( talk) 03:26, 24 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • In the Russian Wikipedia, a similar article was deleted due to a proven hoax. So this article also needs to be deleted.-- Vladimir Solovjev ( talk) 09:25, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, I haven't found a single mention in reliable Russian-language sources, so probably a hoax (or a misunderstanding). Still, I'll check a couple books on Chukotkan history at my university library later to see if this state is mentioned, though I suspect it won't be. I've also placed a hold on the Minahan book to see if I can figure anything out from there. Dylanvt ( talk) 18:52, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    • Minahan himself says "The names of states and the dates of independence are often a matter of confusion or dispute. The state names are subject to translation and interpretation, and the dates of independence are subject to confusion with declarations of sovereignty or intent, the date the event was reported or the declaration report received, or the differences in the calendars in use at the time", so it is not quite verified information. Wikisaurus ( talk) 18:52, 2 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    The only relevant book I could get my hands on was Чукотка: Зигзаги истории малых народов Севера by М.И. Куликов, published 2002 in Veliky Novgorod. Part 3 of the book discusses early Sovietization of Chukotka, detailing the history from the revolution all the way through the 1920s, including the years 1921 and 1922, with not a single mention of a "Free State of Chukotka" or anything like it. I think it's safe to say this was not a real entity and can be deleted. Dylanvt ( talk) 20:01, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Main contributor recently indeffed for promo. Person's claim to fame is winning 2 awards. Both awards are minor pro-diversity titles focused on encouraging women in STEM rather than being het result of a specific outstanding achievement. These received some coverage including a short profile in the Independent and some local press, but I don't think this coverage is significant or sustained enough to warrant an article. A BEFORE turns up that she has continued her career as a civil servant but has not reached any elected positions.

There was a previous nomination which closed as no consensus. My take on the existing coverage is that:

1. Although the outlets are independent and reliable, I don't think the coverage was significant (they are short, uncritical profiles in Katy's voice without any secondary commentary) or sustained.

2. I don't think the awards in question meet the bar of "well-known and significant award or honor". Although the awarding bodies are large in both cases, the actual awards are nothing like the degree of prestige required for WP:NACADEMIC or WP:NARTIST.

Seems like a similar situation to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of television programmes broadcast by Vietnam Television (VTV). Citations provide coverage of individual shows, but do not pretend to cover VTV dramas broadcast in 2024 as a set, as required by WP:LISTN. signed, Rosguill talk 20:28, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Notability, which says: Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability.

    The list fulfills informational and navigation purposes.

    The list passes Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Purposes of lists:

    1. It meets Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Information, which says, The list may be a valuable information source. This is particularly the case for a structured list. Examples would include lists organized chronologically, grouped by theme, or annotated lists.

      This structured list is a chronological ordering of all the Vietnam Television dramas that have been released in 2024. It is an annotated list that has the dramas' broadcast dates, title, number of episodes, producers, cast and crew, theme song(s), genre, and notes.

      An editor supporting deletion said, "Every single VTV drama could be summarised on one article." A list containing all VTV dramas can coexist with a list containing VTV dramas broadcast in 2024. The lists serve different purposes. To avoid article size issues, a list of all dramas would necessarily have to cover less information than a list covering a specific year. A list containing only the dramas broadcast in 2024 is useful to readers, giving them an annotated list of what was broadcast that year.

      • Additionally, Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Titles links to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (lists)#Long (split) list naming recommendations, which discusses the conventions for splitting a long list into multiple sub-articles. The long list here would be "List of VTV dramas", while the sub-articles are "List of VTV dramas broadcast in 2023", "List of VTV dramas broadcast in 2024", etc.

        The guideline gives the example, For example, TV show season lists are named in the form "Show title (season 1)", although the present guideline would have preferred "Show title: season 1" (the use of colons in the titles of works to indicate a subtitle, as in Star Trek: The Next Generation, is a likely reason for this variance).

        The split by year is similar here. The split by year is a valid spinout to ensure the main list does not get too long.

    2. It meets Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Navigation, which says, Lists which contain internally linked terms (i.e., wikilinks) serve, in aggregate, as natural tables of contents and indexes of Wikipedia. This is an index of all the Vietnam Television dramas that have been released in 2024.

      Vietnam Television (VTV) produces Vietnamese-language dramas. Most English Wikipedia editors do not speak Vietnamese. This is why Category:Vietnam Television original programming has only 10 articles on television series, while the Vietnamese Wikipedia's version of the category, vi:Category:Chương trình truyền hình trên VTV, has many more. Wikipedia:Systemic bias discusses this, noting that As a result of systemic bias, Wikipedia underrepresents the perspectives of people in the Global South, which includes Vietnam. Although these articles do not exist on the English Wikipedia, they exist on the Vietnamese Wikipedia. Taking the 2023 list as an example ( vi:Danh sách phim VTV phát sóng năm 2023), there are detailed, well-sourced articles on 2023 VTV dramas such as vi:Không ngại cưới, chỉ cần một lý do and vi:Gia đình mình vui bất thình lình. There are not corresponding English Wikipedia articles because there are not enough English Wikipedia editors with the interest and Vietnamese-language skills to create them.


    WP:NOTTVGUIDE supports keeping this list because it is a "historically significant program list" from an influential broadcaster watched by millions in Vietnam.

    WP:NOTTVGUIDE says: Electronic program guides. An article on a broadcaster should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, format clocks, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable.

    The policy says that historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. 2023–24 United States network television schedule exists because it is a "historically significant program list".

    VTV and its dramas are highly influential in Vietnam, so a list of its dramas broadcast in 2024 is historically significant. Vietnam Television (VTV) is a national broadcaster that is watched by millions in Vietnam ( source 1 and source 2). This book from Routledge underscores the historical significance by demonstrating that VTV dramas have been the subject of academic study and newspaper reviews:

    The success of imported series naturally urged Vietnamese television to make its own dramas. Producers were also prompted to focus on ordinary themes instead of repeating the old mantra of socialist heroism. Foreign soap operas thus enacted a new practice that barely existed in the previous history of Vietnamese television: competition. In 1994, three years after the success of The Rich Also Cry, the first Vietnamese television dramas were broadcast every weekend on a new program entitled Culture and Art on Sunday [Văn Nghệ Chủ Nhật]. One episode per week was an extremely low frequency for the genre of television drama but was already seen as a significant success of national television. A report in Lao Động newspaper in 1994 commented that the birth of Culture and Art on Sunday ‘demonstrated an audacious effort by VTV3 to produce quick and cheap dramas, given an extreme lack of money, technologies, and human resources’ (Tô, 1995). Major topics of Vietnamese television dramas in the late 1990s were the incompatibility between love and poverty, the desire of youngsters to escape obsolete social and cultural norms, or the bitter nostalgia of socialist veterans in market time. Just like soap operas anywhere else in the world, money emerged as the cause and solution of almost all problems. ‘Serving the audience’ also became a common concept in many reviews of television dramas that appeared abundantly in the culture section of many newspapers in the 1990s. Viewers were now treated as valued customers and ultimate judges, instead of merely passive receivers of statecontrolled messages. With the arrival of television dramas, the integration of market regulation and political duty became the defining dilemma of television in Vietnam.

  • Comment But that doesn't address the concern of why these articles need to be broken out year-by-year. That's not normal practice for a television network list and is PROMO beyond a reasonable doubt since it singles out only one network's programming in a genre for a single year. I have no issue with a VTV programming article containing the network's full output; I have issues with it being presented in this manner. Nate • ( chatter) 18:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates#Advantages of a list notes that lists can be "formatted in many different ways" and "can be embellished with annotations". These advantages are why breaking the articles out year-by-year has several advantages over a single list. A single list would be unable to present the information in the way the list currently does. A single list would be overly lengthy. A single list would hinder the reader's ability to easily find information.

    The year-by-year list presents on a single page all the dramas that aired that year, grouping the dramas by the channel they aired on and further chronologically sorting them by when they were broadcast. It allows readers to easily find out what dramas aired that year, what genres were the most prevalent that year, what those dramas were about, and who starred in those dramas that year. It would cumbersome for readers to find this information in a single list crammed with information about decades of VTV television programs from a dozen channels.

    Regarding I have no issue with a VTV programming article containing the network's full output, I would prefer a standalone list. But per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion, merging this list into a VTV programming article would be far superior to deletion as it would retain this "historically significant program list".

    VTV is an influential broadcaster watched by millions in Vietnam. VTV dramas have been the subject of academic study and newspaper reviews. The policies and guidelines support retaining this list of VTV dramas. From WP:NOTTVGUIDE, historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. From Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Information, The list may be a valuable information source. This is particularly the case for a structured list. Examples would include lists organized chronologically, grouped by theme, or annotated lists. From Wikipedia:Article size, a list or table should be kept as short as is feasible for its purpose and scope. From Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Appropriate topics for lists, be prepared to explain why you feel this list contributes to the state of human knowledge.

    Regarding the "PROMO" concern, the list is neutrally written. I see no violation of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. The policy says Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. I find the list written in an "objective and unbiased style, free of puffery". Cunard ( talk) 11:25, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Agree with Pppery, OP, and asilvering. I would support this article once the season/year was over and the programming was confirmed as having aired. But until then, this sits rather closely to WP:NOTNEWS and certainly WP:NOTTVGUIDE. I understand the importance of these programs, but the importance is not obvious without proper explanation and/or contextualization within the article itself. Indeed, the explanation here of the programming's importance is functionally longer, and certainly more in-depth, than the content of the article as a whole. Anwegmann ( talk) 03:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: New arguments for deletion—namely WP:NOTNEWS and the article's flaws—have been raised after my previous responses. I will address them below.

    WP:NOTNEWS is not violated

    WP:NOTNEWS redirects to Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The section says Ensure that Wikipedia articles are not and lists four items. I reviewed each item to demonstrate that this list does not violate the policy:

    1. Original reporting. Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories. – this article is not "original reporting". It is a list of television dramas.
    2. News reports. Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. – this article is not a news report. Enduring notability has been shown through academic sources and newspaper reviews.
    3. Who's who. Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. – this article is not about any individuals.
    4. Celebrity gossip and diary. Even when an individual is notable, not all events they are involved in are. – this article is not about "celebrity gossip" or any individuals.

    The list is incomplete and does not explain the importance of the programs. It is fine for the list to be imperfect.

    Anwegmann wrote, "I would support this article once the season/year was over and the programming was confirmed as having aired." This raises a very good point about how the list can improved. The list includes five TV dramas that have not started airing yet. Two have unspecified airing times, while three will begin airing 4 March 2024, 5 March 2024, 11 March 2024. The list includes only one TV drama that had started airing. This is because the list is missing three TV dramas that are already being aired in 2024: vi:Chúng ta phải hạnh phúc (airing between 9 November 2023 and 4 March 2024), Chúng ta của 8 năm sau (airing between 6 November 2023 and 6 March 2024), and vi:Không ngại cưới, chỉ cần một lý do (aired between 21 September 2023 and 19 January 2024). The list can be improved by adding the three missing dramas. The list can be improved by removing the dramas that have not begun airing yet and adding them back after they've been confirmed to have aired.

    Anwegmann wrote, "I understand the importance of these programs, but the importance is not obvious without proper explanation and/or contextualization within the article itself." I agree that the list can be improved by explaining the historical significance of the dramas as discussed in the academic sources and newspaper reviews."

    The policies say that articles containing flaws should not be deleted if they can be improved. Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion says, If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page. Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required says, Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome.

  • Notability comment. I am sorry, but being invited to conferences and workshops is not a viable proof for notability as everyone who is a decent scientist gets such invites. Similarly being on panels, unless she was appearing in front of the House of Commons or similar. Also, everyone gets grants so this is also not a valid proof of notability. The ERC grant is, to quote the page, for talented early-career scientist who has already produced excellent supervised work, is ready to work independently and shows potential to be a research leader. As such it is on a par with NSF CAREER and the various similar DOE and DOD starter grants. Important for an early career scientist, but not high profile. We have to be consistent. If her grants and invited talks make her notable then every science faculty member at an R1 university in the US would automatically get a Wikipedia page when they get tenure. IMHO the bar for WP:NPROF has to be higher. My vote remains a Strong Delete and revisit in a few years. Ldm1954 ( talk) 12:16, 21 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Additional edits to provide more proof I linked the article to Uhlemann's Wikidata (which I edited as well) so that her scientific output is now better validated by various databases (see Authority control databases section at the bottom of the article). I apologize for not linking the article to the databases before. Ulrikelovesscience ( talk) 23:04, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Two triple-digit-citation first-author publications would be a borderline pass of WP:PROF#C1 for me, but with a middle-position authorship I think it's not enough. Being a panelist is not an indication of notability. None of the awards or memberships listed in the article rise to the level of WP:PROF notability. And we cannot count sources like the Cambridge "Women in STEM" or "Meet the 2023 Simons Emmy Noether Fellows" towards WP:GNG, because they are from her workplaces and therefore non-independent. She's on a strong track and will likely become notable by our standards in a few years but I don't think she's there yet. It doesn't really help that the article has been puffed up with detailed listings of primary-sourced minor accomplishments, making any actual notability hard to discern among all the chaff. — David Eppstein ( talk) 23:41, 26 February 2024 (UTC) reply

A regular professor position (or being a co-lead of a research group) is not enough, and the DPG positions do not really advance notability. The ERC starting grant is quite prestigious, but it is still an early career grant, and not sufficient for criterion #1. Few public appearances are not sufficient for criterion #7.

Article about a company that reads like a press release. I originally PRODed this but it was decline because sources might exist basically. It's a direct translation of the French article made by the same account, which was a SPA who made these articles then left. References given are hard to verify, and no inline citations are used. The French article uses the same references. Magazine Entreprendre exists and was around at the date given so you could probably find the issue, but Druckluftteknik is just the (mispelled) German word for air compressor technology and Pack News doesn't return anything useful. I don't think this has enough reliable sources to meet WP:NCORP but if it existed since 1870 like it claims it might have some coverage so I'll be happy to withdraw this if enough reliable sourcing is found.

I just read the notice about potential paid editing. That's concerning. I think we could significantly cut down the article (the pic is definitely a copyvio anyway, south korea doesnt have freedom of panorama) as a compromise. toobigtokale ( talk) 23:10, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment There's an incorrect assumption here the nominator didn't even look. Please assume good faith. I've been editing almost 19 years on English Wikipedia and have been an administrator for over four years. Before I nominate an article for deletion, I perform a reasonable BEFORE. I'll confess my inability to read Korean-language sources handicaps me greatly. That said, machine translations of the links already present and those User:Toobigtokale provided showed nothing approaching direct detailing on this project. I nominated this page because it was created by an apparent undeclared paid editor whose edits were almost entirely restricted to created pagespace related to Korean construction interests. The copyvio pic was uploaded by the page creator here. As an administrator, I see lots of promotional articles written on English Wikipedia about subjects in content and geographical areas where English sources are not available. I try to keep my unconscious bias in check, and often I fall short. But discussing THIS topic, on English Wikipedia, my analysis of sourcing so far is that it's composed entirely of routine business news with no direct detailing of the building itself. BusterD ( talk) 23:24, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    I'll be glad to post machine translations on this process's talk page... BusterD ( talk) 23:27, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    I apologize for incorrectly assuming you didn't look. Didn't mean to cause offense. I hope you can sympathize with where my sentiment is coming from; 3-5 times a week I de-PROD or suggest keep on articles about Korea-related topics, and almost all of the time my suggestions are accepted. In my month or so of paying attention to article delete requests on WP:WikiProject Korea, I think around 60-70% I disagree with for coverage in Korean reasons.
    Based on my reading of WP:NBUILD, it seems there's some wiggle room on interpreting degree of coverage for this building. I can understand concerns that the articles are not as in-depth as desired, and encourage others to weigh in. I did think the fact that it is a zero-energy building and energy-plus building was of some interest, but acknowledge sigcov takes priority. toobigtokale ( talk) 23:51, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Also, I acknowledge that this article being part of a concerning pattern of potential paid editing is not favorable to it being kept. Again, encourage others to weigh in. toobigtokale ( talk) 23:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    This is an aside and I'm not picking on this particular contributor. When I see obvious paid editing I want to inconvenience the editor as much as I reasonably can. I can do that best by taking their money away from them. I will prod and nominate and report and take any action which doesn't violate CIVIL in order to remove paid-space when I identify it as such. BusterD ( talk) 00:17, 28 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Honestly that makes sense and I didn't think about that; there needs to be stronger disincentivization towards paid editing. Otherwise they can/do scattershot and pray some parts of it will stick. I'm not really passionate about this topic and am happy to lean delete unless others have compelling arguments. toobigtokale ( talk) 01:21, 28 February 2024 (UTC) reply

The subject does not satisfy notability requirements. There is no substantive coverage of the subject in reliable sources. There are a total of three reliable sources that have covered the subject in some way: (1) A Financial Times column that reviews several books and spends one paragraph on Pilkington's book [9], (2) An Irish Times review [10] of the book, and (3) an American Affairs (a magazine founded in 2017) review [11] of the book. While these reviews are on the border of satisfying WP:AUTHOR, they don't seem sufficient. There's nothing in the coverage on which to build an encyclopedic article. As it stands, the Wikipedia article appears intended to promote the subject (all the sources in the article are self-authored at the moment). Thenightaway ( talk) 22:22, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Alexandermcnabb: Pages can be speedied more than once, but not if they've been tagged as G4, where it says: This criterion also does not cover content undeleted via a deletion review, or that was only deleted via proposed deletion (including deletion discussions closed as "soft delete") or speedy deletion. Though it only applies to pages that are tagged under the G4 criterion, and not to other types of speedy criteria. CycloneYoris talk! 05:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC) reply
@ CycloneYoris:See, I read that as 'if it has only been deleted via speedy and then restored then it can't be G4 but would have to go to AfD' rather than 'If it has ever been speedied and subsequently gone to AfD it can't be speedied again', which seems more logical to me... ie: AfD is sovereign...

All that came up in my searches were passing mentions ( 2010, 2012, 2013, etc.) Furthermore, the last two sources are on a Latvian rugby player, which is (probably) not even the same person, meaning there are even fewer sources of the footballer.

Despite working on the article and being excited for the film, I have now realized that WP:NFF is probably in effect here, as the film has not yet been confirmed to have commenced principal photography. Perhaps it can be drafted for the time being, though.

Also a note for anyone who saw the previous template: I confused one of the AfD templates for the current one that is up. The previous AfD template did not make it so a discussion page was open. I do not think it screwed anything up, but if it did, please let me know via my talk page so I can better learn what to do in the future, and I apologize in advance.

I have withdrawn my nomination for deletion, I have switched to draftify. Also, I am an idiot who had no idea what I was doing when I tried to close the article’s discussion, I was wrong to do that. This was a huge learning experience, and I apologize for the inconveniences I caused, I should’ve been more careful.

Hello, I am the creator of this article. I'd heavily advise deleting my article, but if you wish to not have in public view, change it into a draft, please. Also, the film is likely already in principal photography as several articles have stated that filming will begin in the summer of 2023. Like I said, the film is likely in a quiet development phase, so let's just let it be. Thank you. TheEpicApartmentLord ( talk) 19:25, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
No source has confirmed that it is in principal photography though. Also, Kane (the director) said in a live stream two weeks ago that the final draft of the script was done. So as far as we are concerned, it hasn't even begun pre-production. The Deadline article said filming would take place during summer as a joke due to Kane being in high school at the time.

It definitely is not filming. The line you are referring to about filming in the summer very much reads as a joke given his age. No lies were stated. No casting was ever announced, no announcement filming had begun was announced, nothing since the initial announcement. "If it's not ready, don't erase it, just turn it into a draft" it very much isn't ready to be in the mainspace, which is why I created a draft for it last year. It is linked down below, and frankly you would've been informed it existed when you intiated creating this page. They put in a big red banner up at the top of the page whether the topic had a draft article or not. We do not need two drafts about the same topic. So deletion is appropriate.

The gymnast recently won a bronze medal at an FIG World Cup event. She won this on the floor exercise which had a field of 56 gymnasts in qualification. The gymnast is also leading the women's rankings on the event. The 2024 FIG World Apparatus Cup series allows two gymnasts per event to qualify to the 2024 Summer Olympics, so she is in contention of gaining this nominative spot for herself. theworldgymnast1 ( talk) 20:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply

The minority of "keep" opinions must be given less weight because they do not address or rebut - by citing appropriate sources - the reason for which deletion is sought, namely, that there is insufficient coverage of the subject by reliable sources ( WP:GNG).

Flagged by someone claiming to be the subject's son, as a self-written vanity page, exaggerated and imbellished to such an extent as to be misinformation. The claim appears to be substantively correct. The only source that actually looks like a source is this about a production he was involved in, but it was a press release in what appears to be a local source, says so at the end. I could not verify many of the claims in the article either in the sources cited or independently. If reliable sources can be identified, I am happy to fix the article but it needs to be deleted if not. Usedtobecool  ☎️ 07:22, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: Disagree on the "self-written vanity" part. While it was apparently written initially by a colleague, and also contributed to by Rnguyen1 who provided the photo used in the article, during my cleanup, I believe I removed anything that may have been biased. You may elaborate on your concern of misinformation or unverified claims, and I can answer them. Disclosure: I do not know the subject, and I only happened to undelete the page at WP:RfU. Jay 💬 07:52, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    • Jay, would you agree that the restaurant, the polo and the personal life of the subject are irrelevant for encyclopedic considerations, that they may be included just because they can be but those are not by themselves knowledge worth knowing? Would you agree that the main issue here is whether or not the subject is notable as a producer? Would you then agree that we need a little bit of significant coverage to presume notability here, given the career happened far enough back but not too far back and in a country that generates a lot of coverage, in an industry that is, whatever the opposite of obscure is? Assuming we broadly agree on the above, the biggest problem I see is that most of the article is based on the presumption that the one self-published profile can be taken at face value. I simply do not think it can, especially in a BLP, especially when its accuracy has been challenged. The next source (the one from the American Film Institute) does not have enough for us to be able to tell that it's even the same person. We can assume they are, but it happens often enough that desparate sources we collate on lesser known individuals based only on a name search ends up creating a composite biography for a person that does not exist. These are not sources we can base a standalone biography on. That leaves the Los Angeles Times piece that is behind a paywall. I do not know what it has, but I suspect it does not have much simply because other sources didn't have much and the one piece that had some content was cited seven times compared to just once for that piece. But if I assume wrong and if it has usable WP:SIGCOV and if there is just one more source that also has SIGCOV, as I said, I would be glad to see one more well-sourced biography on a living person, especially knowing now that the subject was reportedly devastated to learn of its deletion.
      The impression that there is exaggeration in the biography, I get, from among others, the fact that our article says he produced Fire! while the IBDB source says it was "Produced by David Black; Produced in association with Jonathan Burrows". To editors who are partial to retention on the grounds that he produced Fletch, I caution that it should be determined what exactly his role was as can be verified from reliable sources. He is not among the many people that made it into the infobox of our article on that film (in contrast again, to this article's lead's claim that he is best known for producing that film). Generally, one film may be enough for a director or a lead actor, if the film is iconic enough, I do not think it should be for one of many producers, especially since "producer" can mean many things, not all of those imply a creative contribution. Best, —  Usedtobecool  ☎️ 11:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
      I'll respond to the points about "misinformation / unverified". Which is the self-published profile referred to, is it patch.com? You suspect that the person referred to in the American Film Institute source is a different person, and the suspicion arose because the article has been challenged. I agree that additional sources would have helped, but many sources I went through were blogs or interviews that I could not include. I took the Los Angeles Times ref and associated content from Fletch (film)#Development. On producing Fire!, I provided a source other than IBDB that said “Fire on Broadway”, which I assumed was a typo with quotes for “Fire" on Broadway. I agree in hindsight that "in association with" should have equated to "co-produced" or something of the sort. Jay 💬 13:24, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
      I have some experience improving articles that I decided against AFDing with what sources were there and what I could find. I would not expect to be held responsible for every little detail I miss when doing so. Indeed, that is how we are supposed to build this encyclopedia. I would have left the article entirely alone but for my misgivings about the patch.com piece. If only we could take the claims in there at face value, the worries about verification would be minor. Best, —  Usedtobecool  ☎️ 15:20, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, This seems like an attempt on character assassination by the person’s alleged son. Also, this article was active for quite some time and it was not a subject of debate all the time it stayed relevant. I just checked the talk page and there certainly have been a few very real participants suggesting additions to this article. Moreover, it also says that the person bought rights and produced fletch. The sources provided in the article are also verifiable, just not notable. You could argue to delete this just because it do3s not meet the notability criteria, disregarding the other information, but I think this article has its value of information, that should be preserved. I don’t see the point in deleting this article to be honest. RoundStrider ( talk) 14:17, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, The article's subject meets notability criteria on a couple bases, it reads unbiased nowadays, and there is reasonable evidence showing long term effort toward continuous improvement on this article. Deleting the article would not be a constructive removal given the individual's contributions toward many notable works under arts and entertainment and particularly destructive considering the apparent campaign coming from outside sources/people/sites to influence its removal. Pedantical ( talk) 15:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Fails WP:PRODUCER. Criteria 1 and 2 do not apply. As for Criteria 3 and 4, Fire! was not a notable theatre production. He also did not produce Fletch; the source merely says a production company bought the rights for it and didn't even end up producing the film. IMDB says his credit on the film is "Produced by Special Arrangement," under "additional crew"; this is not notable either, particularly if it simply means that his production company allowed another to use the rights. As for the list of theatre productions, "working as a production executive" on those isn't notable. Also, everything relies on one source, and while Patch may be reliable, the article is evidently promotional in nature: [1]. The wording is identical to Mr. Burrows' bio on the promotional site for Can-Can. As for the restaurant and polo stuff, mere mentions of him in articles that aren't about him at all don't make him notable. Mr. Gerbear| Talk 16:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Just wanted to clear up a few things about the way I feel about this article. My father is a well intentioned elderly gentleman who has been retired for about twenty five years, and who is unfamiliar with how wikipedia works. He wrote his own page and I stupidly felt a bit of second hand embarrassment from the way in which it was written. Ironically, I have opened a can of worms on myself and more and more people are checking out his page. I am sure this would make my father very happy, and he is having a rather rough time now, so this has made me happy and changed my perspective on the whole matter. I believe his work attempting to get Fletch produced is notable enough. Basically all I wanted cleared up with some irrelevant details about his personal life out of an overabundant and rather neurotic desire for privacy. I would like to offer my apologies, as well as my thanks, to the diligent people of wikipedia for their work on this trivial matter, as well as for all you guys do. Basically, I just wanted to protect my poor old Pops from putting too much about himself on the internet. Zanelburrows ( talk) 20:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. This person was a producer on only one film (or was he?), and an "associate producer" on another, which was a flop. He produced only one Broadway show (which ran for only 6 regular performances), two off-Broadway shows, one tour of an off-Broadway show (although none of the off-Broadway credits is verified) and later one regional theatre production. All of his other "producing" was as a "production executive". He was not a significant creator (only ever writing one short film). There is only one source cited for his producing, and it is from Patch.com.

A county-level branch of a political party with no specific claim to notability seperate from the larger party organisation. Fails WP:ORGCRIT as lacking "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." Existing secondary sources do not focus on the county branch, rather covering election results by Republicans in Multnomah County. AusLondonder ( talk) 12:52, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Delete - The only coverage beyond a passing mention in the last 5 years is about recalling their leader and splitting into 2 factions, [27] [28] which is hardly grounds for notability. It's unclear if the group even exists in any meaningful sense at this point. Jamedeus ( talk) 09:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Note that notability is not temporary, even if the organization hardly exists nowadays. Has there been prior historical WP:SIGCOV of this affiliate? Curbon7 ( talk) 08:25, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Not that I was able to find. Most mentions in secondary sources are along the lines of "<person name>, chair of the Multnomah County Republican Party" - but the person is being covered for other reasons and the party is not mentioned again. There are a few 2017 articles about hiring alt right groups for meeting security, and older stories about raffling an AR-15, but they tend to cover resulting outrage more than the party itself. Jamedeus ( talk) 09:29, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply
These sources are mostly hyper-local and not overly helpful per WP:AUD. They almost all appear to relate to one or two controversial incidents as well, rather than about the organisation specifically which amounts to trivial coverage per WP:ORGTRIV: "coverage of purely local events, incidents, controversies" .

This was previously nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ctrl the Tour and the discussion there concluded that it should be redirected, as there wasn't sufficient significant coverage of this tour outside of what's already summarised in the album's page, Ctrl (SZA album). The page was then recreated under the slightly different name "Ctrl The Tour" in 2023, which I have just history merged into the original page.

  • Comment - I am the original article creator, and wrote the article as it was listed on requested articles. I am not inclined to disagree with the NOTDICT argument - but on the other hand, the very similar article Surgery (politics) exists, and was my basis in the limited research I could do for the article.
There is much in the news on the various attacks that constituency offices have received, which could possibly be an area for expansion that would provide something more than a dictionary could? Also, as I touched on a little in the article, there could be something more to write about the involvement of Ipsa in the selection of offices.

The result was merge‎ to Hymnology (tentatively), though I would note there is nothing at all wrong with a merge into more than one article, so certainly there is no issue with also merging some content to Anglican church music or any other appropriate target as well.

I hate to have to do this, but I see no way that this passes GNG. This gets relatively few GHits, and by and large they are passing references in pages concerningother other work cited one of the four hymns (generally either Lo! He Comes With Clouds Descending or Hark! The Herald Angels Sing). Meanwhile, the English Hymnal was a quarter century away from publication, and at this very late date I would have to imagine that if one compared all the different current Anglican hymnals one would find far more than four hymns appearing in nearly all of them— I dare say that there are probably a couple hundred which appear in every last one. Of the runners-up, "Sun of My Soul, Thou Savior Dear" didn't make it into the 1940 Episcopal Hymnal and while " Jerusalem The Golden" was retained in the The Hymnal 1982, the other three sections of Bernard's hymn were not, and I have never in half a century sung it. I would also point out that hymnals of the era did not officially assign tunes to the texts, which further blunts things: some recent survey in the Episcopal Church identified "Alleluia, Sing to Jesus" as the favorite hymn, but it's a cinch that the preferred American tune, Hyfrydol, plays a large part in that. Furthermore, one can look in in the original work and see that this notion of a "great four" isn't his idea: it comes from the other work cited, by David Briggs, who I would point is not, at least by school affiliation, an Anglican in the first place (his school, Western Theological Seminary, which is in the Reformed tradition). Both of these works are more theological and devotional in character and are primarily interested in the writing of hymns in various eras, and not so much on the statistics. When all is said and done this just doesn't seem to have been that important an idea, and by the time the second edition of Briggs's work, it's likely that the number of such hymns was many times larger than four.

See, this is the thing: I can find a fair number of references like these, about one of the hymns, I'm not seeing anything that has any interest in them as a set, and indeed, as I said above, even the original source doesn't mention them as a set at all: his "First Rank Hymns" number 105. " O Come All Ye Faithful" is in this group, at position 75 because for whatever reason only thirty-four hymnals of the set included it. At the time Oakeley's translation was forty-four years old; now, of course, its inclusion in English language hymnals must be well-nigh universal. But nobody is going to remark on it being one of over a hundred. So this "four" is really not a thing in itself; it's just a factoid which gets brought up when talking about some of the four hymns, and indeed, if I put in a date range before this article was published, I get almost no hits at all on the phrase, and just a couple of those are legit. It appears to me that the only reason why so many of these pages on the individual hymns mention this is because our pages on those hymns all mention this. Wikipedia is the source for all these mentions, as far as I can tell. Mangoe ( talk) 02:29, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep - I find the argument by Pbritti above to be convincing, while Great Four (hymns) is probably a better title for the article. My vote is "weak" for a couple of reasons: we have specific rules on grouping things together at WP:NLIST, and the term "Great Four" seems to be less important now than it was a century ago. It also appears that Rev. King may not have coined the term himself. However, it appears that the term is used fairly often today to add some heft to professional discussions of the hymns: [44], [45]. Also, a Google Books search for the term "Great Four" leads to dozens of results for books discussing the hymns themselves and/or the musicological work of Rev. King when he did his study. Here are two examples: [46], [47]. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 15:00, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. I'm a bit puzzled (as someone who was a practising Anglican for around 30 years) that there is only one of these "four great Anglican hymns" is at all familiar to me, namely Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. I'm not sure I've heard of all of the other three, and I don't think I've ever sung any of them. Missing, on the other hand, is Oh come all ye faithful, which may well have been the most popular of all Anglican hymns in my youth. I'm therefore wondering if Anglican is being used in an American sense (Episcopalian) rather than the more usual sense (Church of England). If forced, I would probably vote delete, but I shan't lose any sleep if the decision is to keep. Athel cb ( talk) 17:59, 12 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • After reading Benham 1887 which is (a) contemporary and (b) William Benham, it is clear that the number four as the focus is quite wrong. Benham gives King's Hymnology and King's ranking of hymns almost an entire half page and does not mention the number four once. Benham discusses why it's going to be increasingly outdated (from the viewpoint of 1887!) as the years go by, too. LEvalyn might have the right idea here. We either cover this as the Anglican Hymnology specifically, or under an Anglican hymns topic of some sort. I lean toward the former.

    But — people! — if we don't include Benham's observation and Julian 1892, p. 343 rubbishing King's methodology then Wikipedia isn't even as comprehensive as the encyclopaedias of the 19th century were in poking holes in this. We've sourced our article uncritically and primarily to the originator of the idea, with not even the third-party analyses that have been available since within a decade of its publication.

    That said, looking for 20th century sources turns up Marks 1938 which confirms what this article says about Louis FitzGerald Benson doing a U.S. equivalent as The Best Church Hymns in 1898. (James F. King was vicar of the then St Mary's in Berwick-on-Tweed, Athel cb.) So limiting this to Anglican Hymnology might be a mistake. There's a hint in another source that Robert Ellis Thompson did the same as King and Benson with his 1893 The National Hymn Book. There's definitely a subject here, and the 19th century encyclopaedias suggest that it's somewhere under hymnology. See their article titles. But almost no-one mentions the number four.

    The ball is in your court, LEvalyn and Mangoe. ☺

  • Merge to hymnology as AtD. Uncle G's research is thorough and persuasive. I do think some of the information at the original article would improve the hymnology article, which is currently a bit slight. Not having looked closely at Uncle G's sources it doesn't seem like the Great Four Hymns are a "thing" even if King's identification of them attracted comment; rather, it seems like there's a broader discourse by which people were trying to identify the best/most-used hymns. If we don't merge somewhere, I think the article should be deleted. ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 23:49, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • comment All of the talk about merging or some similar resolution are not dealing with the issue I pointed out earlier, which is that it seems entirely likely that all the citations for this besides the primary sources are derived from our articles on these four hymns— well, two of these articles, because nobody seems to care to write articles in the popular press about the other two since nobody sings them any more. If we deleted those passages and this article, new citations would dry up because (as I've said before) once the term was coined, there seems to have been no interest in the idea until someone stated mentioning it in WP articles. And that's hardly surprising, because by the time of coinage, the original survey was quite dated, the English Hymnal having been published a little over a decade later. But at any rate,I just don't see why we need to keep promoting this notion, which is what we ae doing. Mangoe ( talk) 04:14, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  1. The concept of a "winning streak" is notable, as illustrated by sources presented by different editors in this discussion. I suspect that there are sufficient sources out there to avoid WP:NOTDICTIONARY.
  2. The trickier questions are:
a) whether Wikipedia should host an indiscriminate list of longest winning streaks, and
b) if so, whether that list should be at this article title.
I think some editors previously contributing to this discussion have cast !votes answering one but not both of these questions, which might render determining consensus difficult if we're talking across each other.
I'm ambivalent on question 2a, though I think it's generous to suggest that a list of longest-winning streaks will be maintained faithfully. But on question 2b, I definitely do not think that the list of winning streaks should be at this article title. My instinct is that Winning streak should be reserved to winning streaks as a concept, with some examples if necessary, while the current article's contents should be redistributed to List of winning streaks and similar articles. For this position, there is no real AfD !vote that suffices, because it's essentially a redistribution of contents away from the article. Whether those contents should be hosted on another page of the encyclopaedia is another question, and one we don't have to discuss at this AfD. Interested editors can retrieve those contents from the page history after a trim, and include elsewhere as appropriate. IgnatiusofLondon ( talk) 01:18, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
This might be an unhelpful exercise, but I've tried to understand previous contributors' views with this framework. This is my understanding of their positions from what they have explicitly said (feel free to amend if you disagree).
1. Is there notability beyond WP:NOTDICTIONARY?
Yes: JPxG, Conyo14, GiantSnowman, Svartner, Govvy, The Kip, Das osmnezz, BeanieFan11, Let'srun and IgnatiusofLondon
No: Flibrigit, ChrisTheDude and Aspirex
2a. Should Wikipedia host an indiscriminate list of longest winning streaks?
Yes: Frank Anchor and Randy Kryn
No: SpacedFarmer, Oaktree b, ChrisTheDude, Govvy, The Kip, Joseph2302, Batagur baska, OwenX and Aspirex
2b. If Wikipedia should host an indiscriminate list of longest winning streaks, should it be at this article title?
Yes: has anyone taken this position explicitly?
No: Govvy, The Kip and IgnatiusofLondon
As the list suggests, editors seem to be discussing either 1 or 2a, but rarely both. The way towards consensus is probably if editors start engaging across the questions... IgnatiusofLondon ( talk) 01:38, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep But obviously it needs clean up. Some of the suggestions in here for that are good ones, and while discussion for the clean-up should be at the listicle talk page, I will say that it at least needs a more indicative title, well-sourced expansion on the concept, and clear inclusion guidelines for the list. Anyway, since it's clearly not any more a dictionary entry than other sports terms, there has been no reason for deletion even provided in creating the nom and it should be a procedural close (or, at this point, a consensus-driven close) for "keep and go discuss improvements at talk". Kingsif ( talk) 12:50, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Although this appears to be heading for no consensus which is keep by default. That's a pity. A perfectly good policy reason for deletion was given up front in WP:NOTDIRECTORY, and if you pull the directory out it is just WP:DICDEF. To think of this another way, step back and consider readers of Wikipedia. How does this mishmash of editor curated disparate winning streaks serve a reader's information requirement? If they want to know the longest basketball winning streak, they'll look on a basketball page. If they want to know what a winning streak is, they will be better advised to check wiktionary. If they want to know the longest surf championship streak, longest tiddlywinks streak, or conkers, or dominoes, they are out of luck. This cannot be comprehensive and the list of editor chosen winning streaks fails WP:LISTN. Not a notable collection. This page is not a good fit for Wikipedia nor any encyclopaedia. It should go.

  • By your argument, the articles on hat-trick, penalty shoot-out, sports season - off the top of my head, among who knows how many others - should go because their primary purpose is to explain a sports concept. Not every article with such primary purpose, however, is a dictionary entry, and !voters should do well to know the difference between a simple definition and an article (or what could be an article) that has encyclopedic purpose for detailing e.g. the history of such concepts, their impact in sports, how they are perceived socially.

    Looking at all the votes, all the keep voters are circlejerking off each other with not much to say other than agreeing with each other whilst all the delete voters have more to say.

  • The concern about bloat is already solved by the "Table of Contents". Readers can easily find the sport they are interested in. Two valid points of view exist here (see my essay WP:RULEOFTHUMB), and since the Keep point-of-view has a solid number of experienced editors favoring it then it would have among readers as well. Readers come to the page either looking for either something in particular or just to browse to enhance their knowledge of the overall topic "Winning streaks". 46,000 have done so in the last year. Encyclopedic purpose is thus fulfilled by its existence. Randy Kryn ( talk) 10:25, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Readers can easily find the sport they are interested in. I can't. No sport that I'm interested in is listed. Neither can I see winning streaks in war, in casinos, computer games or anything else. Your rule of thumb essay is not policy. The policy reasons for deletion are clear, and I do not see any policy reasons for retaining this hot mess. I can add tiddlywinks and Fortnite, but editor curation of the list of winning streaks is WP:OR. I am not seeing any policy case for retention, and neither has anyone presented any sources that would show this or any listing would meet WP:LISTN. We can learn nothing by page hits. We do not know that any of those page hits were people satisfying their information requirement, and again, it is not at all clear how any information requirement is met by this. No one is saying there should be no mention of, say, the record basketball winning streaks - but if that is what people are searching for, they will find that and more and better relevant and targeted information on those pages rather than this.

    Most of the !keep votes indicate that work, including delistifying needed doing. It is not uncommon (and should definitely not be discouraged) for articles to be improved in the process of an AfD. A closer takes comments and the status of the article at the time of closing into account, so unless you think there is a majority !keep argument that the article as it was should be kept as it was, it would surely be counterproductive to not only suggest but actually try to enforce that articles at AfD shouldn't be improved after people have !voted. The fact it has been significantly changed has been noted here. Kingsif ( talk) 14:45, 2 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Your reversion to the pre-AfD version, besides reflecting basically just your own personal preference, is also setting that dangerous precedent I mentioned of discouraging improvement during the course of AfDs. I strongly suggest you self-revert based on the principles of being involved (that a user with an interest should not be unilaterally taking decisions favouring that interest).

The section "Divine eyes" is pure SYTH; going through the references; the references are about the deities with 1000 eyes; however the books devote a line or 2 about the eyes in paras about deity overall.

This list might go on. Each of the sources justify the mention of Polo, Pony, Manipuri (or Meitei) Culture and History. Even, some might argue, modern Polo on Pony was invented in the state of Manipur. So, I don't see any non-coherent or vague compilation of list. As per Brusquedandelion, the list does not fulfill WP:SAL. In that specific policy, it is mentioned that, the all of the entries in a list not necessarily have to be notable as an independednt article, but it seems, in this list, all the entries are notable as independent article as well as have the same connection of being about Polo, Pony, Manipuri Culture.

  • The fact that some articles specifically mentions the connection between Polo and Manipuri Pony, as well as mentions the temple of the god of pony, Marjing really has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. There is already an article on Sagol Kāngjei and that is not the article that is being discussed for deletion here. It is almost a given that any sufficiently long reliable source that discusses this sport will also discuss at least one instance when the sport is played, and in doing so mention one or perhaps several locations where this has happened. But this is not the same as discussing a list of places where the sport is played as a conjunct. You note that the WP:NLIST says all of the entries in a list [do] not necessarily have to be notable as an independednt article, but this was never under dispute with respect to this article and isn't the cruz of my point. Nevertheless, since you seem to believe all the entries are notable as independent article I would strongly rebut this claim. A single mention of a game on a random website is generally not considered to be WP:SIGCOV by Wikipedians who curate and edit sports pages. But this is besides the point: we are not discussing whether each of these events should have a Wikipedia page, we are discussing whether a list of them warrants a Wikipedia page, and for the reasons I have already stated, per WP:NLIST guidelines, they clearly do not. Mentioning other random facts from WP:NLIST that aren't actually relevant here makes me wonder whether you are being intentionally obtuse to confuse the discourse by raising unnecessary and irrelevant issues and thereby impede the consensus-forming process. If that is not the case, I invite you to please consider the points being made rather than posting a kneejerk reaction just because of some sentimental value you have for this article.

WP:NOTDIRECTORY does not apply as the index is a list of actual Wikipedia articles about people who are notable for some aspect of their diving activities, not just any notable people who happen to be occasional divers. It is an index, which is an easy way to find an article by alphabetical listing, not a category tree, which is an appalling way to find an article alphabetically, due to subcategories, which break the alphabetical listing up, and Wikipedia categories are full of inappropriate categorisations, making them even more ineffective. Categories have their functions, but they are not the only accepted method. Indexes are an broadly accepted navigation tool on Wkipedia, and have been so for a long time.

Please link to the explanation of how it is "overly long", then you might consider comparing its length with an index from a print encyclopedia, even quite a small one. There are no other ways that the information in it is stored that are reasonably accessible, as you would notice if you compare what all is available on Wikipedia with what is in this index.

It is not just a list of underwater divers, it is an actual index to underwater divers notable for being underwater divers and having a Wikipedia article.

Perhaps I should mention that there are literally millions of underwater divers, a very small part of whom are ever likely to have a Wikipedia article, and an even smaller number who are likely to ever be notable for their diving activities or experiences. The current scope of the index is relatively tiny in comparison with the scope of this proposal, which would actually be relatively well represented by categories.

With regard to the notability of an index list of notable divers, the exact criteria for inclusion in our index is obviously subject to consensus in the usual way. (Make your proposals on the talk page, and we can take it from there). There are organisations such as International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame and Women Divers Hall of Fame dedicated to honouring notable divers within their scopes, which do not necessarily coincide with our criteria, which currently also include divers notable for other things, like involvement in notable accidents, setting world records, performing notable rescues, discovering or salvaging notable shipwrecks, starting notable diving related organisations etc, inventing notable equipment or procedures, and generally being sufficiently notable to have an article on Wikipedia, as well as being notable in connection with underwater diving. We can make our scope narrower and more precise if someone can produce an appropriate set of criteria which are both rational and within policy and guidance. It is likely that this will become necessary over time, but it does not seem to be urgent at present.

This battle does not have significant coverage in reliable sources.

The relevant sources (e.g. Barthold 1968 and Sverdrup 2017) only discuss it as a minor skirmish in the lead up to the Battle of Parwan, and describe it in three sentences or less. This is reflected in the weighting of the article, the vast majority of which is dedicated to "Background" and only two sentences to the actual battle. Additionally, as noted on the talk page, the source which states that this battle resulted in uprisings can be clearly seen to misread his source. Further justifications for keeping the article on the talk page were largely original research or WP:ILIKEIT.

    • Barthold 1968 pp.441–2: "From [Parwan] [Jalal al-Din] first of all defeated a Mongol force which was besieging the fortress of Waliyan (or Walishtan) in Tukharistan. The Mongols lost 1,000 men killed, crossed the river (probably the Panjshir) and destroyed the bridge; by this means they delayed their enemies long enough to enable them to return swiftly to Chingiz-Khan." There follow 17 sentences on the Battle of Parwan and its aftermath.
    • Sverdrup 2017: "Mongol officers Taqacaq and Mulgar attempted to take Waliyan. Jalal al-Din moved to Parwan; making a quick move across the mountains to the north, he surprised and routed the Mongols at Waliyan, inflicting a reported 1,000 loss on them. The Mongols retreated across a river, and destroyed a bridge to keep the enemy from following (spring 1221). Jalal al-Din had left his baggage at Parwan and returned there." There follow 20 sentences on the Battle of Parwan and its aftermath.
  • And those relevant to the alleged uprisings:
    • Jacobs 2012 p. 132: "Jelal ad-Din (1207–1273) had organized an army at this time and even beaten a Mongol army at Waliyan (Barthold, 441–2). In several other towns the citizens took heart at this victory and rebelled, slaying their Mongol governors (op. cit., 442)."
    • Here Jacobs, a non-specialist historian, makes two errors which shows his lack of familiarity with the material: 1) he gets Jelal ad-Din's dates entirely wrong (he actually lived c. 1995–1233), and 2) he misunderstands Barthold, who clearly states that the rebellions were the result of the Battle of Parwan. This clearly shows that Jacobs is not a reliable source.
  • What the article currently says on the battle: "From there, he went first to Waliyan, which was under siege by the Mongols, defeated their two armies under the leaderships of Tekejik and Molger, and lifted the siege of Waliyan, with about 1,000 Mongol casualties. The Mongols fled by crossing a river, probably the Panjshir River, and destroyed the bridge behind them. The victory of Waliyan motivated other cities to rebel against the Mongols, and to slain their Mongol Governors." ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 13:42, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep :Sources are few and laconic, but this is clearly more than a "skirmish" since as many as 1000 Mongols soldiers are said to have been lost... The timing too seems fairly remote from the Battle of Parwan, as Waliyan occured in spring, whereas Parwan was in autumn. Parwan was actually motivated by the humiliation of Waliyan, which incited Genghis Khan to mobilize a large amount of troops for retribution, so Waliyan was not an insignificant encounter in his mind either: it was a significant and humiliating defeat which deserved a strong response. The location too is fairly distant. Actually, I started this article because the Battle of Waliyan is illustrated in ancient sources ( ), whereas Parwan is not, and I was wondering what this was refering to. We can trim the article by reducing the background if necessary, but I don't see how the encyclopedia would benefit by deleting it: we're better off by having a map, a description of the encounter, the historical illustration of it, and a summary of what sources have to say about it... पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 14:05, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

I am fairly satisfied with notability given that the battle is significant and mentioned in several reliable sources.

  • Thanks for raising these issues. The wikipage for Niels Fabian Helge von Koch (the mathematician who formulated the Koch snowflake) has had a longstanding red link for his father Richart Vogt von Koch, so I added content to that empty wikipage using information from the corresponding Swedish page ( https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richert_Vogt_von_Koch). BTW, the editors of the Swedish wiki pages didn't raised any concern that this individual is sufficiently noteworthy as a Swedish historical figure; indeed, the Swedish wikipage includes citations of a number of novels and other publications authored by this individual. Should those novels be listed on the English wikipage? Does it matter whether any of those works have been translated into English? More generally, is it possible for a Swedish historical figure to merit a Swedish wikipage but not an English-language wikipage? BTW, I have 100+ edits but not the 500-edit threshold required to use the Wiki Translate Tool (which would automatically convert all of the bibliography entries and references from the Swedish wikipage to the English wikipage). Could either of you recreate this wikipage using that Translate Tool, and then I'll be glad to help ensure that the translation is comprehensible? Again, many thanks!! Andrew.T.Levin ( talk) 15:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Each language version of Wikipedia decides its own policies and guidelines, so, in principle, it is possible to qualify for a Swedish page but not an English one. As far as the English criteria go it doesn't make any difference whether works have been translated into English, and sources can be in any language.

"Colony/kolonia". Weird. @ Stok @ Malarz pl Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:07, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Similar as Czarnorzeczka. Brzozowo-Kolonia is standalone kolonia (one of polish types of localities, usually smaller then village), listed in SIMC database, PRNG database and Dziennik Ustaw (Polish Journal of Laws). So it's a "legal recognised populated place" as described in WP:GEOLAND. Malarz pl ( talk) 08:57, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    1) A Kolonia is not a "standalone" community but an extension of another community (in this case, very obviously of Brzozowo as indicated by the name). It is also not a village, since that would be a wies.
    2) The location given in this article is that of Brzozowo, not any other place. Whilst an empty field some distance from Brzozowo is labelled "Brzozowo-Kolonia" in GMaps, the farms around this location all have postal addresses in Brzozowo. Where is Brzozowo-Kolonia? Who lives there?
    3) "Legal recognition" is not simply being listed on a database. It requires some empowerment, some status, being conferred on the populated place.
    4) If the place is populated, then what is its population? And if the Polish census does not collect population data for it, then isn't this a rather strong indicator that it isn't notable?
    5) GEOLAND only gives a presumption of notability, it does not give automatic and unchallengeable notability. In this case the presumption can be rebutted just by pointing out that its very name indicates that it is an extension of another community.
    5) Even if GEOLAND is passed, WP:NOPAGE is clear about what to do with a locality about which we have essentially nothing to write - we would simply redirect it to Brzozowo. FOARP ( talk) 14:49, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Brzozowo, Sokółka County Gmina Dąbrowa Białostocka, as an AtD. It's the name of a solectwo (a ward and/or a legally recognised settlement) with council representation and councillors per this list, so people live there: [60]. Rupples ( talk) 21:39, 10 February 2024 (UTC). reply
Another possible redirect is to Brzozowo, Sokółka County, the neighbouring settlement, which is also listed as a solectwo. Brzozowo, Sokółka County gives population figures.

@ Rupples Yes, the population figures of Brzozowo contain the kolonia as well, I just need to correct the presentation of this on Brzozowo's page.

  • Comment - I still side with deletion as a more simple solution - I don't particularly buy WP:CHEAP in this case since for a mass-creation problem it turns out to be anything but cheap to redirect hundreds/thousands of articles rather than deleting them which is far more straight-forward. Kotbot created tens of thousands of these articles without any checking whatsoever, it is misguided to think the solution to that is to redirect them one-by-one when that would take decades to complete.
However, like I said in my original !vote, if a redirect is warranted, it should be to Brzozowo, Sokółka County which it is straight-forwardly an extension of according to its name. FOARP ( talk) 08:50, 12 February 2024 (UTC) reply
@ FOARP, do you know for certain that the editor running Kotbot made no after creation checks? Didn't the bot have to go through an approval process? Rupples ( talk) 03:04, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Rupples - As far as I can tell there were no checks. The entire thing was premised on the idea that the PL Wiki articles used as a source for the data in them were already correct. As far as the approvals process went, it did not appear to involve any actual checking of the articles, merely people vouching for the bot.
Realistically speaking, the articles were created at such a rate that no-one could have been checking more than a tiny fraction of them. In a 48-hour period centred around the creation-time of the article we're discussing here (18:43, 31 July 2008) Kotbot created more than 5,000 articles, does anyone really think Kotniski was checking these?

Free State of Chukotka

Free State of Chukotka (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Possibly a hoax. J. Minahan's book mentions the state in question very briefly and without any citations, and the two other sources don't mention "Free State of Chukotka" at all. Google search in Russian similarly yields only a few passing mentions on websites that don't look like reliable sources; no mentions in academic sources at all, which is unusual for historical states, even short-lived ones. Overall, the article fails WP:V. Finstergeist ( talk) 19:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politics and Russia. Owen× ☎ 19:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, either a hoax or not enough coverage in RS. Wikisaurus ( talk) 21:00, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, why would Minahan make this up? As far as I can tell every other entry in his book did exist, why would he decide to make up the free state of Chukotka specifically. Passing mentions are still mentions. Yes the State only existed for a few days, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist. Are you saying the soviets made up the whole RevKom situation? That Mikhail Mandrikov and Avgust Berzin, who have a statue in Andayr, where simply figments of Soviet propaganda? Scu ba ( talk) 01:51, 21 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    The anti-Soviet coup in Anadyr was definitely real, but I have yet to see any sources that link it to "Free State of Chukotka" or anything like that. So far the only sources that directly mention "Free State of Chukotka" are Minahan's book and this list of flags, everything else seems unrelated. The lack of coverage in works by professional historians is definitely suspicious. Finstergeist ( talk) 20:43, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    I can accept the flag being a hoax, this wouldn't be the first time this has happened with a remote anti-soviet government in Siberia, but there was still an anti-soviet government. If it wasn't called the free state, what was it called? Scu ba ( talk) 18:58, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Update: this page confirms both "Free State of Chukotka" and its "flag" to be a hoax made up by someone named O.I. Tarnovsky. "In 1990s some well-known Russian fake flag fabricator made "flag of Chukotka" and sent that flag to Pavillons, Flag Reports, etc. This seems to be also the origin of fake Civil War flags of Yakutia, Kamchatka, etc. and fake 1990's Russian Oblast and Republic flags" (see here at the bottom). Tarnovsky's publications also are likey to be the source for the entry in Minahan's list. So, Strong Delete. Finstergeist ( talk) 20:55, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    That's a blog, that has a .ru domain, we're going to need something a little more concrete, and editorial. Also that blog states that the 1991 free state was a hoax, not the 1921 version. Scu ba ( talk) 18:59, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    vexillographia.ru is not a blog but the official site of Russian Centre of Vexillology and Heraldry (member of FIAV), and it's generally considered to be a reliable source. The page states that Oleg Tarnovsky made up the existence of "Free State of Chukotka" (October 1921 - December 1922) after watching the movie Chief of Chukotka in the 1980s, and in early 1993 he has submitted his fabrications to some French and Spanish bulletins. This entirely explains the apparent lack of mentions of that "state" in any sources published before 1993. Finstergeist ( talk) 12:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Keep I don't see why Minahan would include a fictional state, it definitely existed for a short time but the mentions of the flag being a hoax may be right and need to be looked into and verified but I see no reason to delete the page. AvailableViking ( talk) 03:26, 24 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • In the Russian Wikipedia, a similar article was deleted due to a proven hoax. So this article also needs to be deleted.-- Vladimir Solovjev ( talk) 09:25, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, I haven't found a single mention in reliable Russian-language sources, so probably a hoax (or a misunderstanding). Still, I'll check a couple books on Chukotkan history at my university library later to see if this state is mentioned, though I suspect it won't be. I've also placed a hold on the Minahan book to see if I can figure anything out from there. Dylanvt ( talk) 18:52, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    • Minahan himself says "The names of states and the dates of independence are often a matter of confusion or dispute. The state names are subject to translation and interpretation, and the dates of independence are subject to confusion with declarations of sovereignty or intent, the date the event was reported or the declaration report received, or the differences in the calendars in use at the time", so it is not quite verified information. Wikisaurus ( talk) 18:52, 2 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    The only relevant book I could get my hands on was Чукотка: Зигзаги истории малых народов Севера by М.И. Куликов, published 2002 in Veliky Novgorod. Part 3 of the book discusses early Sovietization of Chukotka, detailing the history from the revolution all the way through the 1920s, including the years 1921 and 1922, with not a single mention of a "Free State of Chukotka" or anything like it. I think it's safe to say this was not a real entity and can be deleted. Dylanvt ( talk) 20:01, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Main contributor recently indeffed for promo. Person's claim to fame is winning 2 awards. Both awards are minor pro-diversity titles focused on encouraging women in STEM rather than being het result of a specific outstanding achievement. These received some coverage including a short profile in the Independent and some local press, but I don't think this coverage is significant or sustained enough to warrant an article. A BEFORE turns up that she has continued her career as a civil servant but has not reached any elected positions.

There was a previous nomination which closed as no consensus. My take on the existing coverage is that:

1. Although the outlets are independent and reliable, I don't think the coverage was significant (they are short, uncritical profiles in Katy's voice without any secondary commentary) or sustained.

2. I don't think the awards in question meet the bar of "well-known and significant award or honor". Although the awarding bodies are large in both cases, the actual awards are nothing like the degree of prestige required for WP:NACADEMIC or WP:NARTIST.

      This structured list is a chronological ordering of all the Vietnam Television dramas that have been released in 2024. It is an annotated list that has the dramas' broadcast dates, title, number of episodes, producers, cast and crew, theme song(s), genre, and notes.

      An editor supporting deletion said, "Every single VTV drama could be summarised on one article." A list containing all VTV dramas can coexist with a list containing VTV dramas broadcast in 2024. The lists serve different purposes. To avoid article size issues, a list of all dramas would necessarily have to cover less information than a list covering a specific year. A list containing only the dramas broadcast in 2024 is useful to readers, giving them an annotated list of what was broadcast that year.

      • Additionally, Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Titles links to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (lists)#Long (split) list naming recommendations, which discusses the conventions for splitting a long list into multiple sub-articles. The long list here would be "List of VTV dramas", while the sub-articles are "List of VTV dramas broadcast in 2023", "List of VTV dramas broadcast in 2024", etc.

        The guideline gives the example, For example, TV show season lists are named in the form "Show title (season 1)", although the present guideline would have preferred "Show title: season 1" (the use of colons in the titles of works to indicate a subtitle, as in Star Trek: The Next Generation, is a likely reason for this variance).

        The split by year is similar here. The split by year is a valid spinout to ensure the main list does not get too long.

    2. It meets Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Navigation, which says, Lists which contain internally linked terms (i.e., wikilinks) serve, in aggregate, as natural tables of contents and indexes of Wikipedia. This is an index of all the Vietnam Television dramas that have been released in 2024.

      Vietnam Television (VTV) produces Vietnamese-language dramas. Most English Wikipedia editors do not speak Vietnamese. This is why Category:Vietnam Television original programming has only 10 articles on television series, while the Vietnamese Wikipedia's version of the category, vi:Category:Chương trình truyền hình trên VTV, has many more. Wikipedia:Systemic bias discusses this, noting that As a result of systemic bias, Wikipedia underrepresents the perspectives of people in the Global South, which includes Vietnam. Although these articles do not exist on the English Wikipedia, they exist on the Vietnamese Wikipedia. Taking the 2023 list as an example ( vi:Danh sách phim VTV phát sóng năm 2023), there are detailed, well-sourced articles on 2023 VTV dramas such as vi:Không ngại cưới, chỉ cần một lý do and vi:Gia đình mình vui bất thình lình. There are not corresponding English Wikipedia articles because there are not enough English Wikipedia editors with the interest and Vietnamese-language skills to create them.


    WP:NOTTVGUIDE supports keeping this list because it is a "historically significant program list" from an influential broadcaster watched by millions in Vietnam.

    WP:NOTTVGUIDE says: Electronic program guides. An article on a broadcaster should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, format clocks, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable.

    The policy says that historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. 2023–24 United States network television schedule exists because it is a "historically significant program list".

    VTV and its dramas are highly influential in Vietnam, so a list of its dramas broadcast in 2024 is historically significant. Vietnam Television (VTV) is a national broadcaster that is watched by millions in Vietnam ( source 1 and source 2). This book from Routledge underscores the historical significance by demonstrating that VTV dramas have been the subject of academic study and newspaper reviews:

    The success of imported series naturally urged Vietnamese television to make its own dramas. Producers were also prompted to focus on ordinary themes instead of repeating the old mantra of socialist heroism. Foreign soap operas thus enacted a new practice that barely existed in the previous history of Vietnamese television: competition. In 1994, three years after the success of The Rich Also Cry, the first Vietnamese television dramas were broadcast every weekend on a new program entitled Culture and Art on Sunday [Văn Nghệ Chủ Nhật]. One episode per week was an extremely low frequency for the genre of television drama but was already seen as a significant success of national television. A report in Lao Động newspaper in 1994 commented that the birth of Culture and Art on Sunday ‘demonstrated an audacious effort by VTV3 to produce quick and cheap dramas, given an extreme lack of money, technologies, and human resources’ (Tô, 1995). Major topics of Vietnamese television dramas in the late 1990s were the incompatibility between love and poverty, the desire of youngsters to escape obsolete social and cultural norms, or the bitter nostalgia of socialist veterans in market time. Just like soap operas anywhere else in the world, money emerged as the cause and solution of almost all problems. ‘Serving the audience’ also became a common concept in many reviews of television dramas that appeared abundantly in the culture section of many newspapers in the 1990s. Viewers were now treated as valued customers and ultimate judges, instead of merely passive receivers of statecontrolled messages. With the arrival of television dramas, the integration of market regulation and political duty became the defining dilemma of television in Vietnam.

  • Comment But that doesn't address the concern of why these articles need to be broken out year-by-year. That's not normal practice for a television network list and is PROMO beyond a reasonable doubt since it singles out only one network's programming in a genre for a single year. I have no issue with a VTV programming article containing the network's full output; I have issues with it being presented in this manner. Nate • ( chatter) 18:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates#Advantages of a list notes that lists can be "formatted in many different ways" and "can be embellished with annotations". These advantages are why breaking the articles out year-by-year has several advantages over a single list. A single list would be unable to present the information in the way the list currently does. A single list would be overly lengthy. A single list would hinder the reader's ability to easily find information.

    The year-by-year list presents on a single page all the dramas that aired that year, grouping the dramas by the channel they aired on and further chronologically sorting them by when they were broadcast. It allows readers to easily find out what dramas aired that year, what genres were the most prevalent that year, what those dramas were about, and who starred in those dramas that year. It would cumbersome for readers to find this information in a single list crammed with information about decades of VTV television programs from a dozen channels.

    Regarding I have no issue with a VTV programming article containing the network's full output, I would prefer a standalone list. But per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion, merging this list into a VTV programming article would be far superior to deletion as it would retain this "historically significant program list".

    VTV is an influential broadcaster watched by millions in Vietnam. VTV dramas have been the subject of academic study and newspaper reviews. The policies and guidelines support retaining this list of VTV dramas. From WP:NOTTVGUIDE, historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. From Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Information, The list may be a valuable information source. This is particularly the case for a structured list. Examples would include lists organized chronologically, grouped by theme, or annotated lists. From Wikipedia:Article size, a list or table should be kept as short as is feasible for its purpose and scope. From Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Appropriate topics for lists, be prepared to explain why you feel this list contributes to the state of human knowledge.

    Regarding the "PROMO" concern, the list is neutrally written. I see no violation of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. The policy says Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery. I find the list written in an "objective and unbiased style, free of puffery". Cunard ( talk) 11:25, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Agree with Pppery, OP, and asilvering. I would support this article once the season/year was over and the programming was confirmed as having aired. But until then, this sits rather closely to WP:NOTNEWS and certainly WP:NOTTVGUIDE. I understand the importance of these programs, but the importance is not obvious without proper explanation and/or contextualization within the article itself. Indeed, the explanation here of the programming's importance is functionally longer, and certainly more in-depth, than the content of the article as a whole. Anwegmann ( talk) 03:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: New arguments for deletion—namely WP:NOTNEWS and the article's flaws—have been raised after my previous responses. I will address them below.

    WP:NOTNEWS is not violated

    WP:NOTNEWS redirects to Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The section says Ensure that Wikipedia articles are not and lists four items. I reviewed each item to demonstrate that this list does not violate the policy:

    1. Original reporting. Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories. – this article is not "original reporting". It is a list of television dramas.
    2. News reports. Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. – this article is not a news report. Enduring notability has been shown through academic sources and newspaper reviews.
    3. Who's who. Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. – this article is not about any individuals.
    4. Celebrity gossip and diary. Even when an individual is notable, not all events they are involved in are. – this article is not about "celebrity gossip" or any individuals.

    The list is incomplete and does not explain the importance of the programs. It is fine for the list to be imperfect.

    Anwegmann wrote, "I would support this article once the season/year was over and the programming was confirmed as having aired." This raises a very good point about how the list can improved. The list includes five TV dramas that have not started airing yet. Two have unspecified airing times, while three will begin airing 4 March 2024, 5 March 2024, 11 March 2024. The list includes only one TV drama that had started airing. This is because the list is missing three TV dramas that are already being aired in 2024: vi:Chúng ta phải hạnh phúc (airing between 9 November 2023 and 4 March 2024), Chúng ta của 8 năm sau (airing between 6 November 2023 and 6 March 2024), and vi:Không ngại cưới, chỉ cần một lý do (aired between 21 September 2023 and 19 January 2024). The list can be improved by adding the three missing dramas. The list can be improved by removing the dramas that have not begun airing yet and adding them back after they've been confirmed to have aired.

    Anwegmann wrote, "I understand the importance of these programs, but the importance is not obvious without proper explanation and/or contextualization within the article itself." I agree that the list can be improved by explaining the historical significance of the dramas as discussed in the academic sources and newspaper reviews."

    The policies say that articles containing flaws should not be deleted if they can be improved. Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion says, If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page. Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required says, Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome.

  • Notability comment. I am sorry, but being invited to conferences and workshops is not a viable proof for notability as everyone who is a decent scientist gets such invites. Similarly being on panels, unless she was appearing in front of the House of Commons or similar. Also, everyone gets grants so this is also not a valid proof of notability. The ERC grant is, to quote the page, for talented early-career scientist who has already produced excellent supervised work, is ready to work independently and shows potential to be a research leader. As such it is on a par with NSF CAREER and the various similar DOE and DOD starter grants. Important for an early career scientist, but not high profile. We have to be consistent. If her grants and invited talks make her notable then every science faculty member at an R1 university in the US would automatically get a Wikipedia page when they get tenure. IMHO the bar for WP:NPROF has to be higher. My vote remains a Strong Delete and revisit in a few years. Ldm1954 ( talk) 12:16, 21 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Additional edits to provide more proof I linked the article to Uhlemann's Wikidata (which I edited as well) so that her scientific output is now better validated by various databases (see Authority control databases section at the bottom of the article). I apologize for not linking the article to the databases before. Ulrikelovesscience ( talk) 23:04, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Two triple-digit-citation first-author publications would be a borderline pass of WP:PROF#C1 for me, but with a middle-position authorship I think it's not enough. Being a panelist is not an indication of notability. None of the awards or memberships listed in the article rise to the level of WP:PROF notability. And we cannot count sources like the Cambridge "Women in STEM" or "Meet the 2023 Simons Emmy Noether Fellows" towards WP:GNG, because they are from her workplaces and therefore non-independent. She's on a strong track and will likely become notable by our standards in a few years but I don't think she's there yet. It doesn't really help that the article has been puffed up with detailed listings of primary-sourced minor accomplishments, making any actual notability hard to discern among all the chaff. — David Eppstein ( talk) 23:41, 26 February 2024 (UTC) reply

    Ok, I don't find any of the 'keep' votes persuasive, in the sense that they would establish that any of the NPROF criteria are fulfilled. I already commented on the h-index above. A regular professor position (or being a co-lead of a research group) is not enough, and the DPG positions do not really advance notability. The ERC starting grant is quite prestigious, but it is still an early career grant, and not sufficient for criterion #1. Few public appearances are not sufficient for criterion #7.

It's a direct translation of the French article made by the same account, which was a SPA who made these articles then left. References given are hard to verify, and no inline citations are used. The French article uses the same references. Magazine Entreprendre exists and was around at the date given so you could probably find the issue, but Druckluftteknik is just the (mispelled) German word for air compressor technology and Pack News doesn't return anything useful.

Unnotable noblewoman. Seems to only have notability due to being a relative of notable people, which seems to be a case of WP:INHERIT. Browsing across the web shown nothing remotely able to give her enough notability to have an article. ''Flux55'' ( talk) 17:38, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment There's an incorrect assumption here the nominator didn't even look. Please assume good faith. I've been editing almost 19 years on English Wikipedia and have been an administrator for over four years. Before I nominate an article for deletion, I perform a reasonable BEFORE. I'll confess my inability to read Korean-language sources handicaps me greatly. That said, machine translations of the links already present and those User:Toobigtokale provided showed nothing approaching direct detailing on this project. I nominated this page because it was created by an apparent undeclared paid editor whose edits were almost entirely restricted to created pagespace related to Korean construction interests. The copyvio pic was uploaded by the page creator here. As an administrator, I see lots of promotional articles written on English Wikipedia about subjects in content and geographical areas where English sources are not available. I try to keep my unconscious bias in check, and often I fall short. But discussing THIS topic, on English Wikipedia, my analysis of sourcing so far is that it's composed entirely of routine business news with no direct detailing of the building itself. BusterD ( talk) 23:24, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    I'll be glad to post machine translations on this process's talk page... BusterD ( talk) 23:27, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    I apologize for incorrectly assuming you didn't look. Didn't mean to cause offense. I hope you can sympathize with where my sentiment is coming from; 3-5 times a week I de-PROD or suggest keep on articles about Korea-related topics, and almost all of the time my suggestions are accepted. In my month or so of paying attention to article delete requests on WP:WikiProject Korea, I think around 60-70% I disagree with for coverage in Korean reasons.
    Based on my reading of WP:NBUILD, it seems there's some wiggle room on interpreting degree of coverage for this building. I can understand concerns that the articles are not as in-depth as desired, and encourage others to weigh in. I did think the fact that it is a zero-energy building and energy-plus building was of some interest, but acknowledge sigcov takes priority. toobigtokale ( talk) 23:51, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Also, I acknowledge that this article being part of a concerning pattern of potential paid editing is not favorable to it being kept. Again, encourage others to weigh in. toobigtokale ( talk) 23:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    This is an aside and I'm not picking on this particular contributor. When I see obvious paid editing I want to inconvenience the editor as much as I reasonably can. I can do that best by taking their money away from them. I will prod and nominate and report and take any action which doesn't violate CIVIL in order to remove paid-space when I identify it as such. BusterD ( talk) 00:17, 28 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Honestly that makes sense and I didn't think about that; there needs to be stronger disincentivization towards paid editing. Otherwise they can/do scattershot and pray some parts of it will stick. I'm not really passionate about this topic and am happy to lean delete unless others have compelling arguments. toobigtokale ( talk) 01:21, 28 February 2024 (UTC) reply

The subject does not satisfy notability requirements. There is no substantive coverage of the subject in reliable sources. There are a total of three reliable sources that have covered the subject in some way: (1) A Financial Times column that reviews several books and spends one paragraph on Pilkington's book [9], (2) An Irish Times review [10] of the book, and (3) an American Affairs (a magazine founded in 2017) review [11] of the book. While these reviews are on the border of satisfying WP:AUTHOR, they don't seem sufficient. There's nothing in the coverage on which to build an encyclopedic article. As it stands, the Wikipedia article appears intended to promote the subject (all the sources in the article are self-authored at the moment). Thenightaway ( talk) 22:22, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Alexandermcnabb: Pages can be speedied more than once, but not if they've been tagged as G4, where it says: This criterion also does not cover content undeleted via a deletion review, or that was only deleted via proposed deletion (including deletion discussions closed as "soft delete") or speedy deletion. Though it only applies to pages that are tagged under the G4 criterion, and not to other types of speedy criteria. CycloneYoris talk! 05:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC) reply
@ CycloneYoris:See, I read that as 'if it has only been deleted via speedy and then restored then it can't be G4 but would have to go to AfD' rather than 'If it has ever been speedied and subsequently gone to AfD it can't be speedied again', which seems more logical to me... ie: AfD is sovereign...

Despite working on the article and being excited for the film, I have now realized that WP:NFF is probably in effect here, as the film has not yet been confirmed to have commenced principal photography. Perhaps it can be drafted for the time being, though.

Also a note for anyone who saw the previous template: I confused one of the AfD templates for the current one that is up. The previous AfD template did not make it so a discussion page was open. I do not think it screwed anything up, but if it did, please let me know via my talk page so I can better learn what to do in the future, and I apologize in advance.

I have withdrawn my nomination for deletion, I have switched to draftify. Also, I am an idiot who had no idea what I was doing when I tried to close the article’s discussion, I was wrong to do that. This was a huge learning experience, and I apologize for the inconveniences I caused, I should’ve been more careful.

Hello, I am the creator of this article. I'd heavily advise deleting my article, but if you wish to not have in public view, change it into a draft, please. Also, the film is likely already in principal photography as several articles have stated that filming will begin in the summer of 2023. Like I said, the film is likely in a quiet development phase, so let's just let it be. Thank you. TheEpicApartmentLord ( talk) 19:25, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
No source has confirmed that it is in principal photography though. Also, Kane (the director) said in a live stream two weeks ago that the final draft of the script was done. So as far as we are concerned, it hasn't even begun pre-production. The Deadline article said filming would take place during summer as a joke due to Kane being in high school at the time.

It definitely is not filming. The line you are referring to about filming in the summer very much reads as a joke given his age. No lies were stated. No casting was ever announced, no announcement filming had begun was announced, nothing since the initial announcement. "If it's not ready, don't erase it, just turn it into a draft" it very much isn't ready to be in the mainspace, which is why I created a draft for it last year. It is linked down below, and frankly you would've been informed it existed when you intiated creating this page. They put in a big red banner up at the top of the page whether the topic had a draft article or not. We do not need two drafts about the same topic. So deletion is appropriate.

The gymnast recently won a bronze medal at an FIG World Cup event. She won this on the floor exercise which had a field of 56 gymnasts in qualification. The gymnast is also leading the women's rankings on the event. The 2024 FIG World Apparatus Cup series allows two gymnasts per event to qualify to the 2024 Summer Olympics, so she is in contention of gaining this nominative spot for herself. theworldgymnast1 ( talk) 20:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply

The minority of "keep" opinions must be given less weight because they do not address or rebut - by citing appropriate sources - the reason for which deletion is sought, namely, that there is insufficient coverage of the subject by reliable sources ( WP:GNG).

Flagged by someone claiming to be the subject's son, as a self-written vanity page, exaggerated and imbellished to such an extent as to be misinformation. The claim appears to be substantively correct. The only source that actually looks like a source is this about a production he was involved in, but it was a press release in what appears to be a local source, says so at the end. I could not verify many of the claims in the article either in the sources cited or independently. If reliable sources can be identified, I am happy to fix the article but it needs to be deleted if not. Usedtobecool  ☎️ 07:22, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

You may elaborate on your concern of misinformation or unverified claims, and I can answer them. Disclosure: I do not know the subject, and I only happened to undelete the page at WP:RfU. Jay 💬 07:52, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    • Jay, would you agree that the restaurant, the polo and the personal life of the subject are irrelevant for encyclopedic considerations, that they may be included just because they can be but those are not by themselves knowledge worth knowing? Would you agree that the main issue here is whether or not the subject is notable as a producer? Would you then agree that we need a little bit of significant coverage to presume notability here, given the career happened far enough back but not too far back and in a country that generates a lot of coverage, in an industry that is, whatever the opposite of obscure is? Assuming we broadly agree on the above, the biggest problem I see is that most of the article is based on the presumption that the one self-published profile can be taken at face value. I simply do not think it can, especially in a BLP, especially when its accuracy has been challenged. The next source (the one from the American Film Institute) does not have enough for us to be able to tell that it's even the same person. We can assume they are, but it happens often enough that desparate sources we collate on lesser known individuals based only on a name search ends up creating a composite biography for a person that does not exist. These are not sources we can base a standalone biography on. That leaves the Los Angeles Times piece that is behind a paywall. I do not know what it has, but I suspect it does not have much simply because other sources didn't have much and the one piece that had some content was cited seven times compared to just once for that piece. But if I assume wrong and if it has usable WP:SIGCOV and if there is just one more source that also has SIGCOV, as I said, I would be glad to see one more well-sourced biography on a living person, especially knowing now that the subject was reportedly devastated to learn of its deletion.
      The impression that there is exaggeration in the biography, I get, from among others, the fact that our article says he produced Fire! while the IBDB source says it was "Produced by David Black; Produced in association with Jonathan Burrows". To editors who are partial to retention on the grounds that he produced Fletch, I caution that it should be determined what exactly his role was as can be verified from reliable sources. He is not among the many people that made it into the infobox of our article on that film (in contrast again, to this article's lead's claim that he is best known for producing that film). Generally, one film may be enough for a director or a lead actor, if the film is iconic enough, I do not think it should be for one of many producers, especially since "producer" can mean many things, not all of those imply a creative contribution. Best, —  Usedtobecool  ☎️ 11:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
      I'll respond to the points about "misinformation / unverified". Which is the self-published profile referred to, is it patch.com? You suspect that the person referred to in the American Film Institute source is a different person, and the suspicion arose because the article has been challenged. I agree that additional sources would have helped, but many sources I went through were blogs or interviews that I could not include. I took the Los Angeles Times ref and associated content from Fletch (film)#Development. On producing Fire!, I provided a source other than IBDB that said “Fire on Broadway”, which I assumed was a typo with quotes for “Fire" on Broadway. I agree in hindsight that "in association with" should have equated to "co-produced" or something of the sort. Jay 💬 13:24, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
      I have some experience improving articles that I decided against AFDing with what sources were there and what I could find. I would not expect to be held responsible for every little detail I miss when doing so. Indeed, that is how we are supposed to build this encyclopedia. I would have left the article entirely alone but for my misgivings about the patch.com piece. If only we could take the claims in there at face value, the worries about verification would be minor.

  • Keep, This seems like an attempt on character assassination by the person’s alleged son. Also, this article was active for quite some time and it was not a subject of debate all the time it stayed relevant. I just checked the talk page and there certainly have been a few very real participants suggesting additions to this article. Moreover, it also says that the person bought rights and produced fletch. The sources provided in the article are also verifiable, just not notable. You could argue to delete this just because it do3s not meet the notability criteria, disregarding the other information, but I think this article has its value of information, that should be preserved. I don’t see the point in deleting this article to be honest. RoundStrider ( talk) 14:17, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, The article's subject meets notability criteria on a couple bases, it reads unbiased nowadays, and there is reasonable evidence showing long term effort toward continuous improvement on this article. Deleting the article would not be a constructive removal given the individual's contributions toward many notable works under arts and entertainment and particularly destructive considering the apparent campaign coming from outside sources/people/sites to influence its removal. Pedantical ( talk) 15:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Fails WP:PRODUCER. Criteria 1 and 2 do not apply. As for Criteria 3 and 4, Fire! was not a notable theatre production. He also did not produce Fletch; the source merely says a production company bought the rights for it and didn't even end up producing the film. IMDB says his credit on the film is "Produced by Special Arrangement," under "additional crew"; this is not notable either, particularly if it simply means that his production company allowed another to use the rights. As for the list of theatre productions, "working as a production executive" on those isn't notable. Also, everything relies on one source, and while Patch may be reliable, the article is evidently promotional in nature: [1]. The wording is identical to Mr. Burrows' bio on the promotional site for Can-Can. As for the restaurant and polo stuff, mere mentions of him in articles that aren't about him at all don't make him notable. Mr. Gerbear| Talk 16:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Just wanted to clear up a few things about the way I feel about this article. My father is a well intentioned elderly gentleman who has been retired for about twenty five years, and who is unfamiliar with how wikipedia works. He wrote his own page and I stupidly felt a bit of second hand embarrassment from the way in which it was written. Ironically, I have opened a can of worms on myself and more and more people are checking out his page. I am sure this would make my father very happy, and he is having a rather rough time now, so this has made me happy and changed my perspective on the whole matter. I believe his work attempting to get Fletch produced is notable enough. Basically all I wanted cleared up with some irrelevant details about his personal life out of an overabundant and rather neurotic desire for privacy. I would like to offer my apologies, as well as my thanks, to the diligent people of wikipedia for their work on this trivial matter, as well as for all you guys do. Basically, I just wanted to protect my poor old Pops from putting too much about himself on the internet. Zanelburrows ( talk) 20:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. This person was a producer on only one film (or was he?), and an "associate producer" on another, which was a flop. He produced only one Broadway show (which ran for only 6 regular performances), two off-Broadway shows, one tour of an off-Broadway show (although none of the off-Broadway credits is verified) and later one regional theatre production. All of his other "producing" was as a "production executive". He was not a significant creator (only ever writing one short film). There is only one source cited for his producing, and it is from Patch.com.

A county-level branch of a political party with no specific claim to notability seperate from the larger party organisation. Fails WP:ORGCRIT as lacking "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject."

Delete - The only coverage beyond a passing mention in the last 5 years is about recalling their leader and splitting into 2 factions, [27] [28] which is hardly grounds for notability. It's unclear if the group even exists in any meaningful sense at this point. Jamedeus ( talk) 09:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Not that I was able to find. Most mentions in secondary sources are along the lines of "<person name>, chair of the Multnomah County Republican Party" - but the person is being covered for other reasons and the party is not mentioned again. There are a few 2017 articles about hiring alt right groups for meeting security, and older stories about raffling an AR-15, but they tend to cover resulting outrage more than the party itself. Jamedeus ( talk) 09:29, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply
These sources are mostly hyper-local and not overly helpful per WP:AUD. They almost all appear to relate to one or two controversial incidents as well, rather than about the organisation specifically which amounts to trivial coverage per WP:ORGTRIV: "coverage of purely local events, incidents, controversies" .

  • Comment - I am the original article creator, and wrote the article as it was listed on requested articles. I am not inclined to disagree with the NOTDICT argument - but on the other hand, the very similar article Surgery (politics) exists, and was my basis in the limited research I could do for the article.
There is much in the news on the various attacks that constituency offices have received, which could possibly be an area for expansion that would provide something more than a dictionary could? Also, as I touched on a little in the article, there could be something more to write about the involvement of Ipsa in the selection of offices.

Great Four Anglican Hymns

I hate to have to do this, but I see no way that this passes GNG. This gets relatively few GHits, and by and large they are passing references in pages concerningother other work cited one of the four hymns (generally either Lo! He Comes With Clouds Descending or Hark! The Herald Angels Sing). Meanwhile, the English Hymnal was a quarter century away from publication, and at this very late date I would have to imagine that if one compared all the different current Anglican hymnals one would find far more than four hymns appearing in nearly all of them— I dare say that there are probably a couple hundred which appear in every last one. Of the runners-up, "Sun of My Soul, Thou Savior Dear" didn't make it into the 1940 Episcopal Hymnal and while " Jerusalem The Golden" was retained in the The Hymnal 1982, the other three sections of Bernard's hymn were not, and I have never in half a century sung it. I would also point out that hymnals of the era did not officially assign tunes to the texts, which further blunts things: some recent survey in the Episcopal Church identified "Alleluia, Sing to Jesus" as the favorite hymn, but it's a cinch that the preferred American tune, Hyfrydol, plays a large part in that. Furthermore, one can look in in the original work and see that this notion of a "great four" isn't his idea: it comes from the other work cited, by David Briggs, who I would point is not, at least by school affiliation, an Anglican in the first place (his school, Western Theological Seminary, which is in the Reformed tradition). Both of these works are more theological and devotional in character and are primarily interested in the writing of hymns in various eras, and not so much on the statistics. When all is said and done this just doesn't seem to have been that important an idea, and by the time the second edition of Briggs's work, it's likely that the number of such hymns was many times larger than four. Mangoe ( talk) 21:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply

See, this is the thing: I can find a fair number of references like these, about one of the hymns, I'm not seeing anything that has any interest in them as a set, and indeed, as I said above, even the original source doesn't mention them as a set at all: his "First Rank Hymns" number 105. " O Come All Ye Faithful" is in this group, at position 75 because for whatever reason only thirty-four hymnals of the set included it. At the time Oakeley's translation was forty-four years old; now, of course, its inclusion in English language hymnals must be well-nigh universal. But nobody is going to remark on it being one of over a hundred. So this "four" is really not a thing in itself; it's just a factoid which gets brought up when talking about some of the four hymns, and indeed, if I put in a date range before this article was published, I get almost no hits at all on the phrase, and just a couple of those are legit. It appears to me that the only reason why so many of these pages on the individual hymns mention this is because our pages on those hymns all mention this. Wikipedia is the source for all these mentions, as far as I can tell. Mangoe ( talk) 02:29, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep - I find the argument by Pbritti above to be convincing, while Great Four (hymns) is probably a better title for the article. My vote is "weak" for a couple of reasons: we have specific rules on grouping things together at WP:NLIST, and the term "Great Four" seems to be less important now than it was a century ago. It also appears that Rev. King may not have coined the term himself. However, it appears that the term is used fairly often today to add some heft to professional discussions of the hymns: [44], [45]. Also, a Google Books search for the term "Great Four" leads to dozens of results for books discussing the hymns themselves and/or the musicological work of Rev. King when he did his study. Here are two examples: [46], [47]. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 15:00, 29 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. I'm a bit puzzled (as someone who was a practising Anglican for around 30 years) that there is only one of these "four great Anglican hymns" is at all familiar to me, namely Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. I'm not sure I've heard of all of the other three, and I don't think I've ever sung any of them. Missing, on the other hand, is Oh come all ye faithful, which may well have been the most popular of all Anglican hymns in my youth. I'm therefore wondering if Anglican is being used in an American sense (Episcopalian) rather than the more usual sense (Church of England). If forced, I would probably vote delete, but I shan't lose any sleep if the decision is to keep. Athel cb ( talk) 17:59, 12 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • After reading Benham 1887 which is (a) contemporary and (b) William Benham, it is clear that the number four as the focus is quite wrong. Benham gives King's Hymnology and King's ranking of hymns almost an entire half page and does not mention the number four once. Benham discusses why it's going to be increasingly outdated (from the viewpoint of 1887!) as the years go by, too. LEvalyn might have the right idea here. We either cover this as the Anglican Hymnology specifically, or under an Anglican hymns topic of some sort. I lean toward the former.

    But — people! — if we don't include Benham's observation and Julian 1892, p. 343 rubbishing King's methodology then Wikipedia isn't even as comprehensive as the encyclopaedias of the 19th century were in poking holes in this. We've sourced our article uncritically and primarily to the originator of the idea, with not even the third-party analyses that have been available since within a decade of its publication.

    That said, looking for 20th century sources turns up Marks 1938 which confirms what this article says about Louis FitzGerald Benson doing a U.S. equivalent as The Best Church Hymns in 1898. (James F. King was vicar of the then St Mary's in Berwick-on-Tweed, Athel cb.) So limiting this to Anglican Hymnology might be a mistake. There's a hint in another source that Robert Ellis Thompson did the same as King and Benson with his 1893 The National Hymn Book. There's definitely a subject here, and the 19th century encyclopaedias suggest that it's somewhere under hymnology. See their article titles. But almost no-one mentions the number four.

    The ball is in your court, LEvalyn and Mangoe. ☺

  • Merge to hymnology as AtD. Uncle G's research is thorough and persuasive. I do think some of the information at the original article would improve the hymnology article, which is currently a bit slight. Not having looked closely at Uncle G's sources it doesn't seem like the Great Four Hymns are a "thing" even if King's identification of them attracted comment; rather, it seems like there's a broader discourse by which people were trying to identify the best/most-used hymns. If we don't merge somewhere, I think the article should be deleted. ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 23:49, 20 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • comment All of the talk about merging or some similar resolution are not dealing with the issue I pointed out earlier, which is that it seems entirely likely that all the citations for this besides the primary sources are derived from our articles on these four hymns— well, two of these articles, because nobody seems to care to write articles in the popular press about the other two since nobody sings them any more. If we deleted those passages and this article, new citations would dry up because (as I've said before) once the term was coined, there seems to have been no interest in the idea until someone stated mentioning it in WP articles. And that's hardly surprising, because by the time of coinage, the original survey was quite dated, the English Hymnal having been published a little over a decade later. But at any rate,I just don't see why we need to keep promoting this notion, which is what we ae doing. Mangoe ( talk) 04:14, 23 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  1. The concept of a "winning streak" is notable, as illustrated by sources presented by different editors in this discussion. I suspect that there are sufficient sources out there to avoid WP:NOTDICTIONARY.
  2. The trickier questions are:
a) whether Wikipedia should host an indiscriminate list of longest winning streaks, and
b) if so, whether that list should be at this article title.
I think some editors previously contributing to this discussion have cast !votes answering one but not both of these questions, which might render determining consensus difficult if we're talking across each other.
I'm ambivalent on question 2a, though I think it's generous to suggest that a list of longest-winning streaks will be maintained faithfully. But on question 2b, I definitely do not think that the list of winning streaks should be at this article title. My instinct is that Winning streak should be reserved to winning streaks as a concept, with some examples if necessary, while the current article's contents should be redistributed to List of winning streaks and similar articles. For this position, there is no real AfD !vote that suffices, because it's essentially a redistribution of contents away from the article. Whether those contents should be hosted on another page of the encyclopaedia is another question, and one we don't have to discuss at this AfD. Interested editors can retrieve those contents from the page history after a trim, and include elsewhere as appropriate. IgnatiusofLondon ( talk) 01:18, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
This might be an unhelpful exercise, but I've tried to understand previous contributors' views with this framework. This is my understanding of their positions from what they have explicitly said (feel free to amend if you disagree).
1. Is there notability beyond WP:NOTDICTIONARY?
Yes: JPxG, Conyo14, GiantSnowman, Svartner, Govvy, The Kip, Das osmnezz, BeanieFan11, Let'srun and IgnatiusofLondon
No: Flibrigit, ChrisTheDude and Aspirex
2a. Should Wikipedia host an indiscriminate list of longest winning streaks?
Yes: Frank Anchor and Randy Kryn
No: SpacedFarmer, Oaktree b, ChrisTheDude, Govvy, The Kip, Joseph2302, Batagur baska, OwenX and Aspirex
2b. If Wikipedia should host an indiscriminate list of longest winning streaks, should it be at this article title?
Yes: has anyone taken this position explicitly?
No: Govvy, The Kip and IgnatiusofLondon
As the list suggests, editors seem to be discussing either 1 or 2a, but rarely both. The way towards consensus is probably if editors start engaging across the questions... IgnatiusofLondon ( talk) 01:38, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep But obviously it needs clean up. Some of the suggestions in here for that are good ones, and while discussion for the clean-up should be at the listicle talk page, I will say that it at least needs a more indicative title, well-sourced expansion on the concept, and clear inclusion guidelines for the list. Anyway, since it's clearly not any more a dictionary entry than other sports terms, there has been no reason for deletion even provided in creating the nom and it should be a procedural close (or, at this point, a consensus-driven close) for "keep and go discuss improvements at talk". Kingsif ( talk) 12:50, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Although this appears to be heading for no consensus which is keep by default. That's a pity. A perfectly good policy reason for deletion was given up front in WP:NOTDIRECTORY, and if you pull the directory out it is just WP:DICDEF. To think of this another way, step back and consider readers of Wikipedia. How does this mishmash of editor curated disparate winning streaks serve a reader's information requirement? If they want to know the longest basketball winning streak, they'll look on a basketball page. If they want to know what a winning streak is, they will be better advised to check wiktionary. If they want to know the longest surf championship streak, longest tiddlywinks streak, or conkers, or dominoes, they are out of luck.

  • By your argument, the articles on hat-trick, penalty shoot-out, sports season - off the top of my head, among who knows how many others - should go because their primary purpose is to explain a sports concept. Not every article with such primary purpose, however, is a dictionary entry, and !voters should do well to know the difference between a simple definition and an article (or what could be an article) that has encyclopedic purpose for detailing e.g. the history of such concepts, their impact in sports, how they are perceived socially.

  • The concern about bloat is already solved by the "Table of Contents". Readers can easily find the sport they are interested in. Two valid points of view exist here (see my essay WP:RULEOFTHUMB), and since the Keep point-of-view has a solid number of experienced editors favoring it then it would have among readers as well. Readers come to the page either looking for either something in particular or just to browse to enhance their knowledge of the overall topic "Winning streaks". 46,000 have done so in the last year. Encyclopedic purpose is thus fulfilled by its existence. Randy Kryn ( talk) 10:25, 29 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Readers can easily find the sport they are interested in. I can't. No sport that I'm interested in is listed. Neither can I see winning streaks in war, in casinos, computer games or anything else. Your rule of thumb essay is not policy. The policy reasons for deletion are clear, and I do not see any policy reasons for retaining this hot mess. I can add tiddlywinks and Fortnite, but editor curation of the list of winning streaks is WP:OR. I am not seeing any policy case for retention, and neither has anyone presented any sources that would show this or any listing would meet WP:LISTN. We can learn nothing by page hits. We do not know that any of those page hits were people satisfying their information requirement, and again, it is not at all clear how any information requirement is met by this. No one is saying there should be no mention of, say, the record basketball winning streaks - but if that is what people are searching for, they will find that and more and better relevant and targeted information on those pages rather than this.

    Most of the !keep votes indicate that work, including delistifying needed doing. It is not uncommon (and should definitely not be discouraged) for articles to be improved in the process of an AfD. A closer takes comments and the status of the article at the time of closing into account, so unless you think there is a majority !keep argument that the article as it was should be kept as it was, it would surely be counterproductive to not only suggest but actually try to enforce that articles at AfD shouldn't be improved after people have !voted.

    You are one of what appears to be only two editors who indicated that you think the article should have an extensive list, and therefore you are involved. Your reversion to the pre-AfD version, besides reflecting basically just your own personal preference, is also setting that dangerous precedent I mentioned of discouraging improvement during the course of AfDs.

This list might go on. Each of the sources justify the mention of Polo, Pony, Manipuri (or Meitei) Culture and History. Even, some might argue, modern Polo on Pony was invented in the state of Manipur. So, I don't see any non-coherent or vague compilation of list. As per Brusquedandelion, the list does not fulfill WP:SAL. In that specific policy, it is mentioned that, the all of the entries in a list not necessarily have to be notable as an independednt article, but it seems, in this list, all the entries are notable as independent article as well as have the same connection of being about Polo, Pony, Manipuri Culture.

  • The fact that some articles specifically mentions the connection between Polo and Manipuri Pony, as well as mentions the temple of the god of pony, Marjing really has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. There is already an article on Sagol Kāngjei and that is not the article that is being discussed for deletion here. It is almost a given that any sufficiently long reliable source that discusses this sport will also discuss at least one instance when the sport is played, and in doing so mention one or perhaps several locations where this has happened. But this is not the same as discussing a list of places where the sport is played as a conjunct. You note that the WP:NLIST says all of the entries in a list [do] not necessarily have to be notable as an independednt article, but this was never under dispute with respect to this article and isn't the cruz of my point. Nevertheless, since you seem to believe all the entries are notable as independent article I would strongly rebut this claim. A single mention of a game on a random website is generally not considered to be WP:SIGCOV by Wikipedians who curate and edit sports pages. But this is besides the point: we are not discussing whether each of these events should have a Wikipedia page, we are discussing whether a list of them warrants a Wikipedia page, and for the reasons I have already stated, per WP:NLIST guidelines, they clearly do not. Mentioning other random facts from WP:NLIST that aren't actually relevant here makes me wonder whether you are being intentionally obtuse to confuse the discourse by raising unnecessary and irrelevant issues and thereby impede the consensus-forming process. If that is not the case, I invite you to please consider the points being made rather than posting a kneejerk reaction just because of some sentimental value you have for this article.

  • Speedy Keep. WP:NOTDIRECTORY does not apply as the index is a list of actual Wikipedia articles about people who are notable for some aspect of their diving activities, not just any notable people who happen to be occasional divers. It is an index, which is an easy way to find an article by alphabetical listing, not a category tree, which is an appalling way to find an article alphabetically, due to subcategories, which break the alphabetical listing up, and Wikipedia categories are full of inappropriate categorisations, making them even more ineffective. Categories have their functions, but they are not the only accepted method. Indexes are an broadly accepted navigation tool on Wkipedia, and have been so for a long time. They are not to be deprecated at the whim of a small group without first going to the community with an appropriate RfC. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 18:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Lists (including indexes) are an acceptable article type. Redundancy between navigation pages is also acceptable, and is covered in WP:CLN, while the acceptability of distinct page types on the same subject is covered in WP:DIFFFORKS. Aside from the erroneous policy citation, nominator has based his deletion argument on his own opinion ("Don't need"), rather than on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please link to the explanation of how it is "overly long", then you might consider comparing its length with an index from a print encyclopedia, even quite a small one. There are no other ways that the information in it is stored that are reasonably accessible, as you would notice if you compare what all is available on Wikipedia with what is in this index.

It is not just a list of underwater divers, it is an actual index to underwater divers notable for being underwater divers and having a Wikipedia article. There are many articles on people who also happen to be underwater divers, but are not notable for that, and are listed in the category tree, that do not belong in this index. Cheers,· · · Peter Southwood (talk): 11:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Perhaps I should mention that there are literally millions of underwater divers, a very small part of whom are ever likely to have a Wikipedia article, and an even smaller number who are likely to ever be notable for their diving activities or experiences. The current scope of the index is relatively tiny in comparison with the scope of this proposal, which would actually be relatively well represented by categories.

With regard to the notability of an index list of notable divers, the exact criteria for inclusion in our index is obviously subject to consensus in the usual way. (Make your proposals on the talk page, and we can take it from there). There are organisations such as International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame and Women Divers Hall of Fame dedicated to honouring notable divers within their scopes, which do not necessarily coincide with our criteria, which currently also include divers notable for other things, like involvement in notable accidents, setting world records, performing notable rescues, discovering or salvaging notable shipwrecks, starting notable diving related organisations etc, inventing notable equipment or procedures, and generally being sufficiently notable to have an article on Wikipedia, as well as being notable in connection with underwater diving. We can make our scope narrower and more precise if someone can produce an appropriate set of criteria which are both rational and within policy and guidance. It is likely that this will become necessary over time, but it does not seem to be urgent at present.

You're looking in the wrong place.
    What harm could possibly be caused by leaving the article to give someone with access to the relevant information time to find it and add it?

The relevant sources (e.g. Barthold 1968 and Sverdrup 2017) only discuss it as a minor skirmish in the lead up to the Battle of Parwan, and describe it in three sentences or less. This is reflected in the weighting of the article, the vast majority of which is dedicated to "Background" and only two sentences to the actual battle. Additionally, as noted on the talk page, the source which states that this battle resulted in uprisings can be clearly seen to misread his source. Further justifications for keeping the article on the talk page were largely original research or WP:ILIKEIT.

Bringing this here as a previous WP:BLAR to Battle of Parwan#Prelude was reverted. I still think a redirect there is the best course of action. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 13:26, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • In case anyone is confused about the sources, here are the ones relevant to the battle:
    • Barthold 1968 pp.441–2: "From [Parwan] [Jalal al-Din] first of all defeated a Mongol force which was besieging the fortress of Waliyan (or Walishtan) in Tukharistan. The Mongols lost 1,000 men killed, crossed the river (probably the Panjshir) and destroyed the bridge; by this means they delayed their enemies long enough to enable them to return swiftly to Chingiz-Khan." There follow 17 sentences on the Battle of Parwan and its aftermath.
    • Sverdrup 2017: "Mongol officers Taqacaq and Mulgar attempted to take Waliyan. Jalal al-Din moved to Parwan; making a quick move across the mountains to the north, he surprised and routed the Mongols at Waliyan, inflicting a reported 1,000 loss on them. The Mongols retreated across a river, and destroyed a bridge to keep the enemy from following (spring 1221). Jalal al-Din had left his baggage at Parwan and returned there." There follow 20 sentences on the Battle of Parwan and its aftermath.
  • And those relevant to the alleged uprisings:
    • Jacobs 2012 p. 132: "Jelal ad-Din (1207–1273) had organized an army at this time and even beaten a Mongol army at Waliyan (Barthold, 441–2). In several other towns the citizens took heart at this victory and rebelled, slaying their Mongol governors (op. cit., 442)."
    • Here Jacobs, a non-specialist historian, makes two errors which shows his lack of familiarity with the material: 1) he gets Jelal ad-Din's dates entirely wrong (he actually lived c. 1995–1233), and 2) he misunderstands Barthold, who clearly states that the rebellions were the result of the Battle of Parwan. This clearly shows that Jacobs is not a reliable source.
  • What the article currently says on the battle: "From there, he went first to Waliyan, which was under siege by the Mongols, defeated their two armies under the leaderships of Tekejik and Molger, and lifted the siege of Waliyan, with about 1,000 Mongol casualties. The Mongols fled by crossing a river, probably the Panjshir River, and destroyed the bridge behind them. The victory of Waliyan motivated other cities to rebel against the Mongols, and to slain their Mongol Governors." ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 13:42, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nom. Obviously no copyright rules have been violated here as far as I am aware, but see also what Earwig's Copyvio Detector says when comparing this article to the Battle of Parwan, it's indeed mostly copied from that article; [59]. -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 13:59, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep :Sources are few and laconic, but this is clearly more than a "skirmish" since as many as 1000 Mongols soldiers are said to have been lost... The timing too seems fairly remote from the Battle of Parwan, as Waliyan occured in spring, whereas Parwan was in autumn. Parwan was actually motivated by the humiliation of Waliyan, which incited Genghis Khan to mobilize a large amount of troops for retribution, so Waliyan was not an insignificant encounter in his mind either: it was a significant and humiliating defeat which deserved a strong response. The location too is fairly distant. Actually, I started this article because the Battle of Waliyan is illustrated in ancient sources ( ), whereas Parwan is not, and I was wondering what this was refering to. We can trim the article by reducing the background if necessary, but I don't see how the encyclopedia would benefit by deleting it: we're better off by having a map, a description of the encounter, the historical illustration of it, and a summary of what sources have to say about it... पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 14:05, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

I am fairly satisfied with notability given that the battle is significant and mentioned in several reliable sources. Its only shortcoming is that not too many details are known about the battle, but shortish articles are also acceptable on Wikipedia. In addition, a map helps understand the dynamic of this encounter, and the depiction of the battle ( ) is quite famous. Best पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 14:22, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Thanks for raising these issues. The wikipage for Niels Fabian Helge von Koch (the mathematician who formulated the Koch snowflake) has had a longstanding red link for his father Richart Vogt von Koch, so I added content to that empty wikipage using information from the corresponding Swedish page ( https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richert_Vogt_von_Koch). BTW, the editors of the Swedish wiki pages didn't raised any concern that this individual is sufficiently noteworthy as a Swedish historical figure; indeed, the Swedish wikipage includes citations of a number of novels and other publications authored by this individual. Should those novels be listed on the English wikipage? Does it matter whether any of those works have been translated into English? More generally, is it possible for a Swedish historical figure to merit a Swedish wikipage but not an English-language wikipage? BTW, I have 100+ edits but not the 500-edit threshold required to use the Wiki Translate Tool (which would automatically convert all of the bibliography entries and references from the Swedish wikipage to the English wikipage). Could either of you recreate this wikipage using that Translate Tool, and then I'll be glad to help ensure that the translation is comprehensible? Again, many thanks!! Andrew.T.Levin ( talk) 15:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    Each language version of Wikipedia decides its own policies and guidelines, so, in principle, it is possible to qualify for a Swedish page but not an English one. As far as the English criteria go it doesn't make any difference whether works have been translated into English, and sources can be in any language.

Of the linked sources, several are not independent coverage: then e.g. tag it as Stub or Expert Needed (Category:Computer_networking_articles_needing_expert_attention for example). It was the very first version. I was looking for an article about that project and only found one in the ru wikipedia. Then I spent my weekend writing an initial English version of it...
I still don't see how alternatives to deletion have been considered so far tbh.
while others do not mention it at all: Do you mean the sources for references to information from standards or related topics that I compared it with? Ofc.

"Colony/kolonia". Weird. @ Stok @ Malarz pl Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:07, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Similar as Czarnorzeczka. Brzozowo-Kolonia is standalone kolonia (one of polish types of localities, usually smaller then village), listed in SIMC database, PRNG database and Dziennik Ustaw (Polish Journal of Laws). So it's a "legal recognised populated place" as described in WP:GEOLAND. Malarz pl ( talk) 08:57, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    1) A Kolonia is not a "standalone" community but an extension of another community (in this case, very obviously of Brzozowo as indicated by the name). It is also not a village, since that would be a wies.
    2) The location given in this article is that of Brzozowo, not any other place. Whilst an empty field some distance from Brzozowo is labelled "Brzozowo-Kolonia" in GMaps, the farms around this location all have postal addresses in Brzozowo. Where is Brzozowo-Kolonia? Who lives there?
    3) "Legal recognition" is not simply being listed on a database. It requires some empowerment, some status, being conferred on the populated place.
    4) If the place is populated, then what is its population? And if the Polish census does not collect population data for it, then isn't this a rather strong indicator that it isn't notable?
    5) GEOLAND only gives a presumption of notability, it does not give automatic and unchallengeable notability. In this case the presumption can be rebutted just by pointing out that its very name indicates that it is an extension of another community.
    5) Even if GEOLAND is passed, WP:NOPAGE is clear about what to do with a locality about which we have essentially nothing to write - we would simply redirect it to Brzozowo. FOARP ( talk) 14:49, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Brzozowo, Sokółka County Gmina Dąbrowa Białostocka, as an AtD. It's the name of a solectwo (a ward and/or a legally recognised settlement) with council representation and councillors per this list, so people live there: [60]. Rupples ( talk) 21:39, 10 February 2024 (UTC). reply
Another possible redirect is to Brzozowo, Sokółka County, the neighbouring settlement, which is also listed as a solectwo. Brzozowo, Sokółka County gives population figures.

@ Rupples Yes, the population figures of Brzozowo contain the kolonia as well, I just need to correct the presentation of this on Brzozowo's page. Because of how the census areas work (as mentioned in the Czarnorzeczka discussion), it may be best to create a templated footnote. Ilawa-Kataka ( talk) 15:22, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - I still side with deletion as a more simple solution - I don't particularly buy WP:CHEAP in this case since for a mass-creation problem it turns out to be anything but cheap to redirect hundreds/thousands of articles rather than deleting them which is far more straight-forward. Kotbot created tens of thousands of these articles without any checking whatsoever, it is misguided to think the solution to that is to redirect them one-by-one when that would take decades to complete.
However, like I said in my original !vote, if a redirect is warranted, it should be to Brzozowo, Sokółka County which it is straight-forwardly an extension of according to its name. FOARP ( talk) 08:50, 12 February 2024 (UTC) reply
@ FOARP, do you know for certain that the editor running Kotbot made no after creation checks? Didn't the bot have to go through an approval process? Rupples ( talk) 03:04, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Rupples - As far as I can tell there were no checks. The entire thing was premised on the idea that the PL Wiki articles used as a source for the data in them were already correct. As far as the approvals process went, it did not appear to involve any actual checking of the articles, merely people vouching for the bot.
Realistically speaking, the articles were created at such a rate that no-one could have been checking more than a tiny fraction of them. In a 48-hour period centred around the creation-time of the article we're discussing here (18:43, 31 July 2008) Kotbot created more than 5,000 articles, does anyone really think Kotniski was checking these?
