Although there are many huge names in hardcore on this tour, I can't find independent, reliable, and non-trivial sources about it. Metal Injection and Kerrang! have some very short pieces on it which say no more than "This tour is happening", and Distorted Sound has a review of it which mostly focuses on the performances of the bands, and not the tour itself. There are many more short pieces that fall into one of these categories. pinktoebeans (talk) 21:34, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: I contest the deletion of the Sills Cummis & Gross page (and the nomination to redirect to Arthur J. Sills) and propose to keep the page with improvements. I have posted several proposed edits for the community’s discussion on the Sills Cummis & Gross Talk Page. Due to COI, these cannot be made without the community’s assistance, but we hope these edits improve the article to Wikipedia’s standards. Gdavis22 ( talk) 20:54, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Gdavis22 The sources for your proposed edits are about Arthur Sills (NJ Globe titled "The Story of Sills), the firm's website which is a primary source and certainly not independent, an obit for Clive Sills, a routine announcement about the firm changing locations and an entry on list of large NJ firms which is trivial. None of those establish notability for the firm per WP:NCORP/ WP:GNG. S0091 ( talk) 21:16, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @S0091 Thank you for your prompt reply. Would you kindly let us know what types of sources can be used to establish notability? For example, there is also a Wall Street Journal Article that mentions the firm’s Newark and New York offices ( https://www.wsj.com/articles/people-are-returning-to-restaurants-stores-and-hotels-but-not-yet-the-office-11623749401). Can this be used as a notable source? Gdavis22 ( talk) 22:24, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Gdavis22 No. Please do take the time to thoroughly read the criteria I linked above, WP:NCORP. What the firm says about itself is not usable. For those who do not have access, the article is about post-COVID return to work and the portion regarding the firm is: Law firm Sills Cummis & Gross, which has offices in New York and Newark, N.J., started bringing back employees this month, managing partner Max Crane said. He said the plan was complicated by finances, politics, health and human nature. “You have to respect the psychological and emotional pieces of it,” he said. S0091 ( talk) 22:38, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Gdavis22: Here's my brief summary of what sources qualify in making sure that a topic is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article: For a Wikipedia article about an organization (such as a law firm) to be published, the organization must be notable. An organization is notable if you can provide multiple reliable, independent sources and if each of those sources has significant coverage—in-depth discussion—of the organization. Under Wikipedia's guidelines: "No company or organization is considered inherently notable."
    • A source is generally considered to be reliable if it has some clear editorial standards, including fact checking. For example, The New York Times or a scholarly journal article would be considered reliable.
    • A source is independent if it is not a person or organization associated with the company. Trade publications are looked upon with skepticism. Press releases and interviews with company employees are not independent.
    • Coverage of a company is significant if the subject is covered in depth in the source; passing mentions and routine news stories are generally not significant. "Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the ... organization."
    voorts ( talk/ contributions) 19:11, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Arthur J. Sills - online, there is mostly just press releases or non- WP:SIGCOV. Maybe this firm will be notable in the future. Unfortunately the content provided by Gdavis22 is not apt.

    I don't think the article, at least as I am seeing it, qualifies as WP:PROMO. It gives factual details on courses and departments, and while there's definitely a WP:PROPORTION issue, this is not uncommon among articles of this type and interest, and would likely be resolved with further article expansion that, for example, details the reasons for the university's foundation, its history, and any notable staff. The bigger problem is the reliance on sources published by the university, but so long as independent sources can be shown to exist, I don't think this is so big an issue to require the article's deletion. In other words, the non-independent sources aren't doing any harm and can stay until someone takes enough interest in the topic to find better sources, or if they really are unpalatable, the article can always be cut back to one or two sentences only using independent sources. IgnatiusofLondon ( talk) 01:57, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I'm quite surprised by how quickly the delete !votes have been accepted here. The law mentioned in the article checks out (article 31). I took the university's name in Greek, and the first gsearch turned out quite a bit of coverage: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It wasn't exactly hard to find these sources. Nonetheless, knowing nothing about the Greek language, I feel I can offer little more comment than to say that this university clearly exists and has been covered in multiple Greek newspapers as well as Greek law. It's also worth remembering that it's only been around 5 years, half of which were through Covid, which might explain why we might expect a few more sources than perhaps are immediately visible. IgnatiusofLondon ( talk) 01:48, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete functionally per Bearian. Searching for sources myself has not been fruitful, but I don't speak or read the language in question, so it's possible sourcing exists but we just can't see it.

    Dear Theroadislong, I understand you're looking at deleting this article. I am afraid I may have been lied to? I received an email from someone claiming to be a wikipedia editor cleaning up old articles which have been rejected. he, (now i see, recently someone edited or published my article, under the handle of "BradKins" said he'd edit my page to help it meet Wikipedia's standards. I thought this would be good, that an 'official' Wikipedia editor would improve the article. Now I see your message that the article is nominated for deletion. I remember you, Theroadislong, as you'd reviewed my article a couple of years ago. I do understand the reasons you think the article does not yet meet notability, but it is a work in progress, and I am always seeking new, valid press to validate the worthiness of this article. Please advise. Thank you kindly, Beth 2A02:1210:4AB8:4C00:597C:3125:BFD1:EAF4 ( talk) 10:26, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • I've had no involvement with this article, as the edit history shows, and this is not the first time that User:BradKins has pulled this stunt. I'll take this to WP:ANI, thanks for the ping.
As for the emailed offer of "help", a sockfarmer used my name in a similar scam last November, see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1141#User Wikishovel asking for money to publish our company. I cost these parasites money pretty regularly.
@ Beth Wimmer: you posted a response at your user talk page ten minutes ago, similar to the anonymous response above: was that you? If so, please log back in, thanks. It looks like you may be the victim of a scam. Were you asked for money for the "help" with the article? Wikishovel ( talk) 10:53, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Hello @ Wikishovel Yes, both of those responses were from me. I had responded without logging in, then noticed I should have logged in so you'd know it was really me.
Yes, I was asked to contribute money for the improvements Bradkins wanted to make. I have contributed money to Wikipedia before, officially, so the word contribute didn't worry me. The email I'd received sounded very official. I'm sorry for this trouble, this is upsetting for me. Beth Wimmer ( talk) 11:05, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Lacks notability as a separate topic (and no obvious redirect target), unsourced and abandoned article. Prod was removed because "Being featured on postage stamps is a pretty huge honor for any topic, as such the topic asserts notability," but while the fact that Asterix postage stamps have been made shows the (undisputed) notability of Asterix, the indicated lack of notability is for the topic of this list, "Asterix on postage stamps" as a whole. Fram ( talk) 08:44, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Merge to Asterix or Merge with Tintin on postage stamps and rename to Fictional characters on postage stamps - Not sure I really grasp the dePROD comment. Being featured on a stamp is a clear indication of the notability of Asterix, but I don't see how this creates any notability for Asterix on postage stamps. As an example, a quick search found that Louis Braille has been commemorated on stamps by multiple countries, including France, Belarus, India and Russia. I strongly disagree however that Louis Braille on postage stamps should be created or kept on Wikipedia because of this. The article should stand on its own notability: substantial coverage in reliable sources of stamps featuring Louis Braille. I would suggest merging either to Asterix#In popular culture as per Geschichte ( talk · contribs), or merging alongside Tintin on postage stamps into a new article about fictional characters on postage stamps, however I don't know if such a topic is sufficiently notable.

  • Comment Many years ago I created articles for clubs playing in the Central Midlands League but they were deleted on notability grounds due to them having not played at step 6 or in a national cup competition. I tried to argue that the Central Midlands League/Alliance should be exempt from this because, unlike all other step 7 leagues, it covers several counties, and the league's geographical area was further expanded when it merged with the Midland Regional Alliance. However, this argument was dismissed and the articles were deleted. This AfD is the right time to have this conversation again and I would argue that the teams playing in the North and South divisions should be considered notable enough for their own articles, thereby meaning that this article would be kept.

    • Comment That's the only reason for a potential delete but, as I said previously, I see the CMA as a special case due to it covering a much wider area than the other step 7 leagues which are all county leagues. This, to me, makes the CMA notable in a way that the other leagues are not for the purposes of each club having its own article on Wikipedia. Rillington ( talk) 06:03, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
      • The CMA does not cover a "much wider area" than other step 7 leagues – its footprint is not substantially different to some of the larger county leagues like Lincolnshire, Norfolk or Kent, and is probably smaller than that of the West Lancs League. It just happens to cross county boundaries (but is also not alone in doing so). Number 5 7 17:43, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    There's no rule, User:Kivo, that a team has to be at Step 6 or have competed in an FA competition, to have an article. If a team of kindergartners is getting long-term significant coverage, then it would be notable. Step 6 and FA competitions are just guidelines; and better applicable to teams with years of history, often at higher levels than they are at now. With a relatively new team, we can simply look at media coverage, which is all still accessible online, unlike Royston Vasey Town F.C.'s brief foray into an FA competition in the 1920s, which is hard to find online references to. Nfitz ( talk) 19:55, 10 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete The club seems to have generated some short-lived national coverage from a single event (the Scottish Cup stuff) but the rest is the kind of occasional coverage that even some Sunday league teams get in local newspapers. I would lean towards deletion on the basis of the Scottish Cup stuff falling under WP:NOTNEWS, without prejudice to re-creation if there is sustained coverage or the club manages to reach a notable level in future.

  • ( edit conflict) Comment The article is rather poor (though in fairness it was only created 12 minutes prior to the deletion nomination), but the concept is likely notable.

  • Keep: While I'm not in the literary scene, the Wikipedia Library got me access to a handful of sources that provided rudimentary definitions and examples of this concept. While what I've added to the article right now is probably only just on the cusp of demonstrating GNG (mostly a question of SIGCOV), I'm now certain this is notable. For the references lacking links, please refer to the Wikipedia Library. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 05:57, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Eh... I'm not convinced. The references amount to two literal dictionary definitions and a handful of sources that use the term as a descriptor. The expansion, though well intentioned, thus verges on original research. I'd want to see at least one reliable source that discusses the concept itself, in depth. Jfire ( talk) 06:19, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    • The Somers and McGowan sources provide more explicit definitions of plot armor. Additionally, usage of the term in academic texts suggests its notability. Without access to the OED definition, I don't have the citations that they may have used to provide their definition. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 06:35, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply
      @ Pbritti I don't think those citations are likely to be useful for showing notability anyway, since the OED's business is to find the earliest possible example, not to point readers to the most in-depth sources. -- asilvering ( talk) 09:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The current article sourcing looks good to me. The article could also be expanded further with coverage of plot armor in interactive media. I find an entire chapter on plot armor, called "Plot Armor", in this book about role-playing games. The chapter itself is not in the free preview but it's listed in the table of contents; based on the author's discussion of fixed points in time here (a chapter that references the plot armor chapter) I believe it's a proper SIGCOV analysis of how the trope itself functions. There's also a page of analysis of plot armor on p 98 of this essay, also not readable to me right now. My search preview says "The only way Mercer could prevent queer death in Critical Role would be by giving certain characters Plot Armor, a trope where “a main character’s life and health are safeguarded by …" -- in context this section is leading up to a substantial analysis of character death, in which the plot armor trope will be examined for its narrative implications. In other words, both sources present analysis rather than trivial mentions. ~ L 🌸 ( talk)
    There are several other similar books that document this concept (and the similar plot immunity) but most appear to be self-published or come from publishers that don't possess formal editorial oversight. I refrained from using these sources when I expanded the article, preferring limited coverage in RSs. I wonder if there is SOGCOV in print texts from RS publishers that we're missing, though. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 17:24, 3 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Weak delete. Could not find sources outside of her being the first female Dalit mayor in the UK, which like Oaktree b said, could be a claim to notability, but it is rather specific and I do agree with Jeraxmoira's WP:BLP1E assertion. Not to mention that the only keep vote here is from a blocked sockmaster casting WP:ASPERSIONS, so their comments should really be discounted. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 22:42, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: I could be wrong, but I think non-elected mayors of London Borough Councils are little more than ceremonial mayors serving one-year terms in rotation, whereas council leaders are the ones with real executive power. In WP:POLOUTCOMES (which Jeraxmoira cited above), this would then be more akin to In general than Mayors, and so the subject would be even less likely to meet common AfD outcomes. I think the subject is worth a sentence in Ealing London Borough Council, maybe even British Indians, as the first Dalit woman to become a UK mayor, but I'm afraid I don't think WP:NPOL is met.

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:TOOSOON article about a future election that there's just nothing of any real substance to say about it yet. The election is scheduled for October, which means absolutely nothing is happening with relation to the election yet as of January -- none of the races have any declared candidates yet, and with just a handful of exceptions even the incumbent mayor and councillors haven't announced whether they're running again yet or not, and we're months away from even being able to identify any of the issues that people will be basing their votes on.
Future "next" election articles are permitted at the federal and provincial levels, because there are always things for such an article to write about -- ongoing polling on the performance of the incumbent government, scandals, by-elections, and on and so forth -- but at the municipal level we just don't start articles about future elections until much, much closer to election day, because there just isn't anything meaningful to say about them, beyond "this is a thing that will happen", until much, much closer to election day. As of right now, the only other future municipal election in all of Canada that has an article at all is the imminent mayoral by-election in Mississauga, where we have actual known candidates and polling to write about, and even if the exact date is still up in the air we know that it has to happen by the spring at the latest.
So this can certainly be sandboxed in draft or userspace as a base, if the creator wishes, but there's no need for it to exist as an article until there's a lot more content to write about it than just "incumbent has not yet announced whether they're running again or not" over and over again. Bearcat ( talk) 15:30, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I already find it useful as a reference as to who is re-offering and who is not. I appreciate the concern about this article being premature or lightweight and will keep that in mind when creating articles in the future. But in this case – news outlets are already coming out with pieces on this election, so the article may as well remain to be built upon in the coming months.

  • Draftify as this will clearly be notable within six months (the WP:G13 timer). There is not SIGCOV currently, and anyone advocating to keep this article should be able to point to some. "It will be notable" is not a reason to keep an article, because it is not notable at the current moment. But drafts need not be notable, and given that this article will certainly be notable in the not-too-distant future, incubating is the best way forward.

  • Draftify: per OwenX, Oaktree b, and HouseBlaster. This will be notable in short time, but there's no reason for a mainspace article until there's actually significant coverage of the election. Until then, once draftified, I think redirecting to Halifax Regional Council makes sense. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 17:08, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep the Global article that's been referenced is significant coverage of the election. No one objects when the Toronto election article is created 15 months before the election there. This one is a lot sooner than that! Like it or not, there is news already about the election, and the plans of most of council. - Nfitz 03:58, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Draftify until more sources become available. There is no harm done in keeping it in draft space until we see WP:SIGCOV. Pretty much all sources right now are about candidates announcing if they are running for reelection or not, not about the election itself. Some of the arguments for keeping it are personally not very convincing ( WP:TOOSOON, WP:WHATABOUTX, WP:ITSUSEFUL...). AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 23:12, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Definitely WP:TOOSOON, but in the month that this article has been going through AfD, at least two further news articles (incorporated into the article) have been released on the election, I think in response to the mayor announcing that they would not stand for reelection. It's each to their own as to when "enough coverage is enough coverage", but I'm minded to think that said threshold will be met sooner rather than later, and I don't really see the usefulness of bouncing the article to draft and then back to mainspace in the time until then.

There are not enough verifiable sources to establish the notability of this education association. Although it seems to be an established and reputable organization, the only articles I could find about it were promotional in nature and outdated, such as this one: [25]. The association has been briefly mentioned by some major outlets in the past, [26] or [27], but that alone does not satisfy the notability criteria. There is no need to have a separate article about this organization, especially with the current, heavily promotional tone.

WP:BLP of an arts journalist, not properly referenced as passing notability criteria for journalists. As always, journalists are not "inherently" notable just for existing, and have to show external validation of their significance: notable journalism awards, third-party coverage and analysis about their work in sources independent of their own employer, and on and so forth. But seven of the eight footnotes here are just her own work metaverifying its own existence (or formerly metaverifying its own existence, because now it's all dead links across the board), and the last one is a MySpace (!), meaning that absolutely none of them represent GNG-building coverage about Laura Thompson.
Again, you don't get a journalist over the bar by citing sources where she's the bylined author of coverage about other things, you get a journalist over the bar by citing sources where she's the written-about subject of coverage authored by other people, and nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have that kind of sourcing.

Per WP:ONEEVENT, this young man doesn't seem to me to be a suitable subject of a Wikipedia article. Basically teenager goes missing and is found 8 years later. Slightly unusual event, but with no lasting consequences. Sionk ( talk) 23:47, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The potential ramifications of this case are ongoing. It is also linked to in other wikipedia articles including that of Quannel X to contextualise their current activism. Also it does not seem to be a case of "goes missing and then turns up" as the entire issue is about if he was missing at all, if he was assaulted, what role his mother played in this and any potential responsibility of the Houston PD. While this may not be a hot button case any longer making the waves I think that is an important reason to leave it up. That way any information and updates can be collated and more easily accessed. 110.21.186.111 ( talk) 08:48, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Although there are many huge names in hardcore on this tour, I can't find independent, reliable, and non-trivial sources about it. Metal Injection and Kerrang! have some very short pieces on it which say no more than "This tour is happening", and Distorted Sound has a review of it which mostly focuses on the performances of the bands, and not the tour itself. There are many more short pieces that fall into one of these categories. pinktoebeans (talk) 21:34, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: I contest the deletion of the Sills Cummis & Gross page (and the nomination to redirect to Arthur J. Sills) and propose to keep the page with improvements. I have posted several proposed edits for the community’s discussion on the Sills Cummis & Gross Talk Page. Due to COI, these cannot be made without the community’s assistance, but we hope these edits improve the article to Wikipedia’s standards. Gdavis22 ( talk) 20:54, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Gdavis22 The sources for your proposed edits are about Arthur Sills (NJ Globe titled "The Story of Sills), the firm's website which is a primary source and certainly not independent, an obit for Clive Sills, a routine announcement about the firm changing locations and an entry on list of large NJ firms which is trivial. None of those establish notability for the firm per WP:NCORP/ WP:GNG. S0091 ( talk) 21:16, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @S0091 Thank you for your prompt reply. Would you kindly let us know what types of sources can be used to establish notability? For example, there is also a Wall Street Journal Article that mentions the firm’s Newark and New York offices ( https://www.wsj.com/articles/people-are-returning-to-restaurants-stores-and-hotels-but-not-yet-the-office-11623749401). Can this be used as a notable source? Gdavis22 ( talk) 22:24, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Gdavis22 No. Please do take the time to thoroughly read the criteria I linked above, WP:NCORP. What the firm says about itself is not usable. For those who do not have access, the article is about post-COVID return to work and the portion regarding the firm is: Law firm Sills Cummis & Gross, which has offices in New York and Newark, N.J., started bringing back employees this month, managing partner Max Crane said. He said the plan was complicated by finances, politics, health and human nature. “You have to respect the psychological and emotional pieces of it,” he said. S0091 ( talk) 22:38, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ Gdavis22: Here's my brief summary of what sources qualify in making sure that a topic is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article: For a Wikipedia article about an organization (such as a law firm) to be published, the organization must be notable. An organization is notable if you can provide multiple reliable, independent sources and if each of those sources has significant coverage—in-depth discussion—of the organization. Under Wikipedia's guidelines: "No company or organization is considered inherently notable."
    • A source is generally considered to be reliable if it has some clear editorial standards, including fact checking. For example, The New York Times or a scholarly journal article would be considered reliable.
    • A source is independent if it is not a person or organization associated with the company. Trade publications are looked upon with skepticism. Press releases and interviews with company employees are not independent.
    • Coverage of a company is significant if the subject is covered in depth in the source; passing mentions and routine news stories are generally not significant. "Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the ... organization."
    voorts ( talk/ contributions) 19:11, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Arthur J. Sills - online, there is mostly just press releases or non- WP:SIGCOV. Maybe this firm will be notable in the future. Unfortunately the content provided by Gdavis22 is not apt.

    I don't think the article, at least as I am seeing it, qualifies as WP:PROMO. It gives factual details on courses and departments, and while there's definitely a WP:PROPORTION issue, this is not uncommon among articles of this type and interest, and would likely be resolved with further article expansion that, for example, details the reasons for the university's foundation, its history, and any notable staff. The bigger problem is the reliance on sources published by the university, but so long as independent sources can be shown to exist, I don't think this is so big an issue to require the article's deletion. In other words, the non-independent sources aren't doing any harm and can stay until someone takes enough interest in the topic to find better sources, or if they really are unpalatable, the article can always be cut back to one or two sentences only using independent sources. IgnatiusofLondon ( talk) 01:57, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I'm quite surprised by how quickly the delete !votes have been accepted here. The law mentioned in the article checks out (article 31). I took the university's name in Greek, and the first gsearch turned out quite a bit of coverage: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It wasn't exactly hard to find these sources. Nonetheless, knowing nothing about the Greek language, I feel I can offer little more comment than to say that this university clearly exists and has been covered in multiple Greek newspapers as well as Greek law. It's also worth remembering that it's only been around 5 years, half of which were through Covid, which might explain why we might expect a few more sources than perhaps are immediately visible.

    Dear Theroadislong, I understand you're looking at deleting this article. I am afraid I may have been lied to? I received an email from someone claiming to be a wikipedia editor cleaning up old articles which have been rejected. he, (now i see, recently someone edited or published my article, under the handle of "BradKins" said he'd edit my page to help it meet Wikipedia's standards. I thought this would be good, that an 'official' Wikipedia editor would improve the article. Now I see your message that the article is nominated for deletion. I remember you, Theroadislong, as you'd reviewed my article a couple of years ago. I do understand the reasons you think the article does not yet meet notability, but it is a work in progress, and I am always seeking new, valid press to validate the worthiness of this article. Please advise. Thank you kindly, Beth 2A02:1210:4AB8:4C00:597C:3125:BFD1:EAF4 ( talk) 10:26, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • I've had no involvement with this article, as the edit history shows, and this is not the first time that User:BradKins has pulled this stunt. I'll take this to WP:ANI, thanks for the ping.
As for the emailed offer of "help", a sockfarmer used my name in a similar scam last November, see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1141#User Wikishovel asking for money to publish our company. I cost these parasites money pretty regularly.
@ Beth Wimmer: you posted a response at your user talk page ten minutes ago, similar to the anonymous response above: was that you? If so, please log back in, thanks. It looks like you may be the victim of a scam. Were you asked for money for the "help" with the article? Wikishovel ( talk) 10:53, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Hello @ Wikishovel Yes, both of those responses were from me. I had responded without logging in, then noticed I should have logged in so you'd know it was really me.
Yes, I was asked to contribute money for the improvements Bradkins wanted to make. I have contributed money to Wikipedia before, officially, so the word contribute didn't worry me. The email I'd received sounded very official. I'm sorry for this trouble, this is upsetting for me. Beth Wimmer ( talk) 11:05, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
You've done nothing wrong, and the emails used for these scams can be quite persuasive. Please don't blame yourself for this, it can very easily be put right. Wikishovel ( talk) 11:15, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Lacks notability as a separate topic (and no obvious redirect target), unsourced and abandoned article. Prod was removed because "Being featured on postage stamps is a pretty huge honor for any topic, as such the topic asserts notability," but while the fact that Asterix postage stamps have been made shows the (undisputed) notability of Asterix, the indicated lack of notability is for the topic of this list, "Asterix on postage stamps" as a whole. Fram ( talk) 08:44, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Merge to Asterix or Merge with Tintin on postage stamps and rename to Fictional characters on postage stamps - Not sure I really grasp the dePROD comment. Being featured on a stamp is a clear indication of the notability of Asterix, but I don't see how this creates any notability for Asterix on postage stamps. As an example, a quick search found that Louis Braille has been commemorated on stamps by multiple countries, including France, Belarus, India and Russia. I strongly disagree however that Louis Braille on postage stamps should be created or kept on Wikipedia because of this. The article should stand on its own notability: substantial coverage in reliable sources of stamps featuring Louis Braille. I would suggest merging either to Asterix#In popular culture as per Geschichte ( talk · contribs), or merging alongside Tintin on postage stamps into a new article about fictional characters on postage stamps, however I don't know if such a topic is sufficiently notable.

  • Comment Many years ago I created articles for clubs playing in the Central Midlands League but they were deleted on notability grounds due to them having not played at step 6 or in a national cup competition. I tried to argue that the Central Midlands League/Alliance should be exempt from this because, unlike all other step 7 leagues, it covers several counties, and the league's geographical area was further expanded when it merged with the Midland Regional Alliance. However, this argument was dismissed and the articles were deleted. This AfD is the right time to have this conversation again and I would argue that the teams playing in the North and South divisions should be considered notable enough for their own articles, thereby meaning that this article would be kept. Rillington ( talk) 10:16, 2 February 2024 (UTC) reply

    • Comment That's the only reason for a potential delete but, as I said previously, I see the CMA as a special case due to it covering a much wider area than the other step 7 leagues which are all county leagues. This, to me, makes the CMA notable in a way that the other leagues are not for the purposes of each club having its own article on Wikipedia. Rillington ( talk) 06:03, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
      • The CMA does not cover a "much wider area" than other step 7 leagues – its footprint is not substantially different to some of the larger county leagues like Lincolnshire, Norfolk or Kent, and is probably smaller than that of the West Lancs League. It just happens to cross county boundaries (but is also not alone in doing so). Number 5 7 17:43, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    There's no rule, User:Kivo, that a team has to be at Step 6 or have competed in an FA competition, to have an article. If a team of kindergartners is getting long-term significant coverage, then it would be notable. Step 6 and FA competitions are just guidelines; and better applicable to teams with years of history, often at higher levels than they are at now. With a relatively new team, we can simply look at media coverage, which is all still accessible online, unlike Royston Vasey Town F.C.'s brief foray into an FA competition in the 1920s, which is hard to find online references to. Nfitz ( talk) 19:55, 10 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete The club seems to have generated some short-lived national coverage from a single event (the Scottish Cup stuff) but the rest is the kind of occasional coverage that even some Sunday league teams get in local newspapers. I would lean towards deletion on the basis of the Scottish Cup stuff falling under WP:NOTNEWS, without prejudice to re-creation if there is sustained coverage or the club manages to reach a notable level in future.

Seems to be more of a How-To Article than a Wikipedia article. ‍ Relativity 20:15, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply

On August 18, 2020‎, I deleted a section of Plot device called "Plot armor" because it had been unreferenced for more than a year.— Anita5192 ( talk) 20:50, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • ( edit conflict) Comment The article is rather poor (though in fairness it was only created 12 minutes prior to the deletion nomination), but the concept is likely notable. That doesn't necessarily mean it should have a stand-alone article (might be better to cover it as part of some other article per WP:PAGEDECIDE), but it probably could. TompaDompa ( talk) 20:52, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: I'm going to bet myself a nickel that I can HEY this, per TompaDompa. It's a term in the common lexicon of modern popular media, so I'm almost certain that there is enough RS material out there to demonstrate notability. Expect improvements to come inside of 24 hours. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 21:22, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Delete - Not notable enough to warrant its own article. Might be worth reinserting section in plot device mentioned above but with a reliable source if findable. Rambling Rambler ( talk) 23:00, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Move to draft and improve. This is a highly notable trope in fiction, up there with the Mary Sue, but needs development to merit inclusion in mainspace. BD2412 T 00:14, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: While I'm not in the literary scene, the Wikipedia Library got me access to a handful of sources that provided rudimentary definitions and examples of this concept. While what I've added to the article right now is probably only just on the cusp of demonstrating GNG (mostly a question of SIGCOV), I'm now certain this is notable. For the references lacking links, please refer to the Wikipedia Library. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 05:57, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Eh... I'm not convinced. The references amount to two literal dictionary definitions and a handful of sources that use the term as a descriptor. The expansion, though well intentioned, thus verges on original research. I'd want to see at least one reliable source that discusses the concept itself, in depth. Jfire ( talk) 06:19, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply
    • The Somers and McGowan sources provide more explicit definitions of plot armor. Additionally, usage of the term in academic texts suggests its notability. Without access to the OED definition, I don't have the citations that they may have used to provide their definition. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 06:35, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply
      @ Pbritti I don't think those citations are likely to be useful for showing notability anyway, since the OED's business is to find the earliest possible example, not to point readers to the most in-depth sources. -- asilvering ( talk) 09:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The current article sourcing looks good to me. The article could also be expanded further with coverage of plot armor in interactive media. I find an entire chapter on plot armor, called "Plot Armor", in this book about role-playing games. The chapter itself is not in the free preview but it's listed in the table of contents; based on the author's discussion of fixed points in time here (a chapter that references the plot armor chapter) I believe it's a proper SIGCOV analysis of how the trope itself functions. There's also a page of analysis of plot armor on p 98 of this essay, also not readable to me right now. My search preview says "The only way Mercer could prevent queer death in Critical Role would be by giving certain characters Plot Armor, a trope where “a main character’s life and health are safeguarded by …" -- in context this section is leading up to a substantial analysis of character death, in which the plot armor trope will be examined for its narrative implications. In other words, both sources present analysis rather than trivial mentions. ~ L 🌸 ( talk)
    There are several other similar books that document this concept (and the similar plot immunity) but most appear to be self-published or come from publishers that don't possess formal editorial oversight. I refrained from using these sources when I expanded the article, preferring limited coverage in RSs. I wonder if there is SOGCOV in print texts from RS publishers that we're missing, though. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 17:24, 3 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: At this point, the sourcing is sufficient. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cortador ( talkcontribs) 12:10, 4 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Like the keep opinions before me, I see now enough sourced material for an article beyond a dictionary definition. Currently it is not a very long article, but no good merge target comes to mind. Daranios ( talk) 16:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to protagonist, what is here is largely a dictionary definition. Generally speaking, "plot armor" tends to involve the protagonists escaping harm repeatedly because they are important to the story. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ) 17:03, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: Has decent sourcing, is a notable concept. It comes up a lot in discussions about media such as video games. StreetcarEnjoyer ( talk) 19:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, per the massive improvements that have been made since the beginning of this discussion. On another note, nominating an article on a subject like this for deletion (that isn't promotion, spam, etc -- a topic which is mentioned and talked about pretty broadly, and which WP:BEFORE revealed a wealth of sources for) twelve minutes after its creation seems like rather bad manners to me. jp× g 🗯️ 03:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per the work put in by Pbritti. I concur with the assessment from BD2412 that this is functionally at the same (or near same) literary level as Mary Sue, and I'm satisfied with the present sourcing. I also echo the sentiments of JPxG that nominating an article for deletion within ~12 minutes of it's creation should generally be avoided for the future, barring the exceptions noted. — Sirdog ( talk) 05:54, 9 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Weak delete. Could not find sources outside of her being the first female Dalit mayor in the UK, which like Oaktree b said, could be a claim to notability, but it is rather specific and I do agree with Jeraxmoira's WP:BLP1E assertion. Not to mention that the only keep vote here is from a blocked sockmaster casting WP:ASPERSIONS, so their comments should really be discounted. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 22:42, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: I could be wrong, but I think non-elected mayors of London Borough Councils are little more than ceremonial mayors serving one-year terms in rotation, whereas council leaders are the ones with real executive power. In WP:POLOUTCOMES (which Jeraxmoira cited above), this would then be more akin to In general than Mayors, and so the subject would be even less likely to meet common AfD outcomes. I think the subject is worth a sentence in Ealing London Borough Council, maybe even British Indians, as the first Dalit woman to become a UK mayor, but I'm afraid I don't think WP:NPOL is met.

2024 Halifax municipal election (  | 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)

WP:TOOSOON article about a future election that there's just nothing of any real substance to say about it yet. The election is scheduled for October, which means absolutely nothing is happening with relation to the election yet as of January -- none of the races have any declared candidates yet, and with just a handful of exceptions even the incumbent mayor and councillors haven't announced whether they're running again yet or not, and we're months away from even being able to identify any of the issues that people will be basing their votes on.
Future "next" election articles are permitted at the federal and provincial levels, because there are always things for such an article to write about -- ongoing polling on the performance of the incumbent government, scandals, by-elections, and on and so forth -- but at the municipal level we just don't start articles about future elections until much, much closer to election day, because there just isn't anything meaningful to say about them, beyond "this is a thing that will happen", until much, much closer to election day. As of right now, the only other future municipal election in all of Canada that has an article at all is the imminent mayoral by-election in Mississauga, where we have actual known candidates and polling to write about, and even if the exact date is still up in the air we know that it has to happen by the spring at the latest.
So this can certainly be sandboxed in draft or userspace as a base, if the creator wishes, but there's no need for it to exist as an article until there's a lot more content to write about it than just "incumbent has not yet announced whether they're running again or not" over and over again. Bearcat ( talk) 15:30, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep (article creator) – most (65%) of the incumbents have announced whether or not they will run again, so I don't think the above characterisation of the existing article is quite accurate. I already find it useful as a reference as to who is re-offering and who is not. I appreciate the concern about this article being premature or lightweight and will keep that in mind when creating articles in the future. But in this case – news outlets are already coming out with pieces on this election, so the article may as well remain to be built upon in the coming months.

  • Draftify as this will clearly be notable within six months (the WP:G13 timer). There is not SIGCOV currently, and anyone advocating to keep this article should be able to point to some. "It will be notable" is not a reason to keep an article, because it is not notable at the current moment. But drafts need not be notable, and given that this article will certainly be notable in the not-too-distant future, incubating is the best way forward.

  • Draftify: per OwenX, Oaktree b, and HouseBlaster. This will be notable in short time, but there's no reason for a mainspace article until there's actually significant coverage of the election. Until then, once draftified, I think redirecting to Halifax Regional Council makes sense. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 17:08, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep the Global article that's been referenced is significant coverage of the election. No one objects when the Toronto election article is created 15 months before the election there. This one is a lot sooner than that! Like it or not, there is news already about the election, and the plans of most of council. - Nfitz 03:58, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Draftify until more sources become available. There is no harm done in keeping it in draft space until we see WP:SIGCOV. Pretty much all sources right now are about candidates announcing if they are running for reelection or not, not about the election itself. Some of the arguments for keeping it are personally not very convincing ( WP:TOOSOON, WP:WHATABOUTX, WP:ITSUSEFUL...). AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 23:12, 15 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Definitely WP:TOOSOON, but in the month that this article has been going through AfD, at least two further news articles (incorporated into the article) have been released on the election, I think in response to the mayor announcing that they would not stand for reelection. It's each to their own as to when "enough coverage is enough coverage", but I'm minded to think that said threshold will be met sooner rather than later, and I don't really see the usefulness of bouncing the article to draft and then back to mainspace in the time until then.

There are not enough verifiable sources to establish the notability of this education association. Although it seems to be an established and reputable organization, the only articles I could find about it were promotional in nature and outdated, such as this one: [25]. The association has been briefly mentioned by some major outlets in the past, [26] or [27], but that alone does not satisfy the notability criteria. There is no need to have a separate article about this organization, especially with the current, heavily promotional tone.

Laura Thompson (journalist) (  | 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)

WP:BLP of an arts journalist, not properly referenced as passing notability criteria for journalists. As always, journalists are not "inherently" notable just for existing, and have to show external validation of their significance: notable journalism awards, third-party coverage and analysis about their work in sources independent of their own employer, and on and so forth. But seven of the eight footnotes here are just her own work metaverifying its own existence (or formerly metaverifying its own existence, because now it's all dead links across the board), and the last one is a MySpace (!), meaning that absolutely none of them represent GNG-building coverage about Laura Thompson.
Again, you don't get a journalist over the bar by citing sources where she's the bylined author of coverage about other things, you get a journalist over the bar by citing sources where she's the written-about subject of coverage authored by other people, and nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have that kind of sourcing.

Does not meet WP:GNG; the only example of significant coverage in an independent source is the cited Pontianak Tribun profile, coverage online is otherwise minimal or else non-independent. signed, Rosguill talk 16:17, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Per WP:ONEEVENT, this young man doesn't seem to me to be a suitable subject of a Wikipedia article. Basically teenager goes missing and is found 8 years later. Slightly unusual event, but with no lasting consequences. Sionk ( talk) 23:47, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply

The potential ramifications of this case are ongoing. It is also linked to in other wikipedia articles including that of Quannel X to contextualise their current activism. Also it does not seem to be a case of "goes missing and then turns up" as the entire issue is about if he was missing at all, if he was assaulted, what role his mother played in this and any potential responsibility of the Houston PD. While this may not be a hot button case any longer making the waves I think that is an important reason to leave it up. That way any information and updates can be collated and more easily accessed. 110.21.186.111 ( talk) 08:48, 1 February 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS. I see no evidence that the "potential ramifications of this case are ongoing", and I cannot find any substantive coverage in reliable sources outside of local news (viz. WP:AUD) beyond information from around the date of the incident. -- Kinu  t/ c 18:51, 3 February 2024 (UTC) reply
