Semi-advertorialized article about a band, not properly referenced as clearing WP:NMUSIC. The sources here are their own self-published website, a band member's LinkedIn résumé and a directory entry in an indiscriminate "all local bands" database which isn't even for this band, but for one band member's former band -- which means none of them are reliable or notability supporting sources. As always, bands are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist; they need to have achieved something that passes NMUSIC, and have reliable source coverage about them in media to support it. Furthermore, this is a likely conflict of interest, as the creator's username corresponds to the name of one of the band members. Bearcat ( talk) 23:54, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Agree with Shellwood KidAd's original nomination but I have since made significant edits including the removal of promotional/CV-type content and the addition of WP:IRS citations.

  • Comment I may have to amend my vote as the article has been essentially decimated since I nominated it the other day. Either way, the stub is is so anemic that it illustrates how non-notable the subject it. KidAd ( talk) 22:02, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
@ KidAd: I made a further search and was able to add one more award. Your point carries weight but I would still be inclined to keep the article. Cabrils ( talk) 01:58, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Soft Keep I don't know if awards are really a definitive sign of notability, but there are at least enough sources out there to keep me from outright voting to delete this one. Unfortunately, it's hard to see what the sources currently on the page actually say because there are no links. But, I'm erring on the side of good faith, here. Gargleafg ( talk) 02:24, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I have started adding links to the sources (or moving them from External links to sources) ( Gargleafg, you may like to take a look). Whether the awards are notable or not, they resulted in newspaper profiles about him. There are also reviews of his work, some currently in External links - if information about the performances was previously in the article, it's not now, and will have to be added. The article doesn't even name the performance group he founded. I would point out to KidAd that, per WP:ARTN, "Article content does not determine notability". Also, per WP:NEXIST, "The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable." Cabrils has added more sources, and more can be added, with more information from them about his performances. He meets WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. RebeccaGreen ( talk) 15:15, 22 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Per WP:NORG and WP:Notability, and following similar nominations from Piotrus, this small bank subsidiary may not be notable given the relatively small single product, credit card, portfolio this banking subsidiary offers. Even if it's notable, with few substantive edits and only 2-3 sentences, this could easily be merged with Rogers Communications as a separate section (if it isn't already). Not every Canadian bank needs its own article until such time as one or more users want to fully develop an article. As such, this article seems to be either a permastub or an emerging permastub.

Doncram, Yeah, "merge" isn't exactly needed considering I'd already migrated the sentence or two into that section of Rogers Communications. I was hoping to do away without keeping the Rogers Bank redirect, but, on the other hand, someone could just well re-create it as a redirect. So, I wouldn't be opposed to a redirect, either. Besides, that shortened tag, properly redirecting to Rogers Communications#Rogers Bank would actually be helpful for those wishing to tag the non-notable banking subsidiary in related articles.
  • Merge/redirect to Rogers Communications#Rogers Bank, where the subject is covered, in lieu of deletion. It is useful to direct readers looking for more information about Rogers Bank to where it is covered. Cunard ( talk) 23:45, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Some superb masterpieces of "reliable media" that has been presented is using very vague words. And such vague words from at least one of the so called reliable media can be presented for so many songs. So what stops from creating redirects is just the mention of the song in some editorial piece somewhere. Such criteria might not seem lenient for western music wherein films dont have songs; but its absolutely rubbish to apply for Hindi film songs. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 10:35, 7 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Wall Street Journal ref says ""Pyaar Ki Pungi" is gaining popularity in India and has been topping the charts." NSONG requires it be "ranked on national or significant music or sales charts". We dont know what charts WSJ is talking about and hence we dont know if they satisfy the #1-NSONG criteria. Also, NSONG says "(Note again that this indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable.)" Emphasis is not mine, but original in the guideline.
  • The so called "superhit", "viral hit" and "hit" by NDTV, India Today and Scroll are passing mentions in articles which are about other songs/albums.
  • Re-enactment by Yadav is not same as "independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups". This re-enactment is more like a TikTok video and not re-released recording which is expected by NSONG.
  • The other 4 references you are giving: two refs of HT are not returning anything. The other two from TOI and Yahoo are about the Single Event controversies which some XYZ claimed in news to be plagiarism and did not further pursue any legal course of action on it. Speaks very much about the possibly raised plagiarism claim just for publicity.
  • Apart from all this; NSONG says "Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." This isnt happening here. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 11:35, 30 September 2019 (UTC) reply
  1. We will have to accept when a reliable source publishes that a song is topping the charts. You can go and dig which specific charts, but the fact that it does is enough.
  2. The very fact that they are using a superlative qualifier such as a superhit song, makes it pass our WP:GNG criteria.
  3. The re-enactment video can be considered as a re-release of the song. The fact that it went viral, makes it notable for addition into the article.
  4. those HT links are from AfD1, they can be checked at web archives.
  5. The subject is a hit song. it is notable and can be reasonably expanded. Remember WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP -- DBig Xrayᗙ 11:47, 30 September 2019 (UTC) reply
  1. No! Our guideline redirects to a detailed WP:CHART. If you can provide reference that WSJ's usage of word "chart" has similar or equivalent meaning then maybe we can consider it on facevalue. WP:CHART gives a huge list of websites that roam around as "chart" but are not considered as notable enough. We dont know what WSJ is talking about. You will have to do the digging to prove notability.
  2. Passing mentions are still passing mentions. GNG requires significant coverage; not one or half liners.
  3. Can be considered? Why? DJ Doll's "Kanta Laga", Harry Anand's "Chadti Jawani", Shankar-Ehsan-Loy's "Ae Watan", Chirantan Bhatt's "Har Kisi Ko", etc. are the independent releases by notable artists that NSONG expects. Lip-syncing on the original song on Tiktok is not whats expected here. Some video becoming viral in itself is not a notability standard thats expected as viral is a vague term and clickbaits can make anything seem viral.
  4. Can be or can't be. Lets not assume notability on non-verifiable sources.
  5. But AfD is for establishing notability; which is not happening here. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 12:41, 30 September 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Bollywoodlife, Bollyspice, Movietalkies are not WP:RS as has been discussed in various PRs/GAs/FAs.
  • The WSJ article you provided now is the same one that you provided above. So i have already argued about this WSJ article above. Btw, why is the WSJ url "blogs.wsj.com" and not just "www.wsj.com" like in this Hollywood film review of Gemini Man. Is the blog section not controlled by editorial team? That would make it non-RS.
  • The Indianexpress article is not WP:INDEPENDENT as it is an interview of the actress seen in the song and claiming the song to be wow and what-not.
  • The two articles published by HindutanTimes have been presented by you earlier. One of them has 3 full sentences of which one is quote.

  • I had presented the articles earlier, that does not make it any less reliable or its coverage trivial. It is unfortunate to see that you feel that a full article of five paragraphs at [14] covering the song in Hindustan Times one of the most widely distributed newspaper of India is trivialized as a trivial coverage.

The expansion of the article is irrelevant. Just like how HT has not standards and can break 200 words in 5 paragraphs, Wikipedia can do the same. I can stoop lower and expand your 700+ article to 1400+ even just for the sake of stuffing prose.

  • Merge. The lot of information in the article is about the song is "hit" which can be covered in two or three sentences. The copyright section is pointless. The production section has a long quote from Pritam and the whole section can be trimmed to few sentences. Other technical information is already covered in the article Agent Vinod. So I suggest trim, merge and redirect. A delete would be OK too after moving the content.- Nizil ( talk) 06:58, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Nizil thanks for sharing your opinion and pinging me. You may feel something to be pointless, but that does not mean it does not contribute towards notability or significant coverage. If reliable media considers it important enough to publish full page article on the topic, Wikipedia too should include this in the song article. The Plagiarism controversy of the song and subsequent court proceedings were widely covered in all the major reliable media, (some examples presented above) One more that I missed to add above is here. [1] I have objections to deleting or redirecting a notable Blockbuster song that has been covered by reliable media in significant detail i.e. WP:SIGCOV. Talks of merger are secondary to Notability question. Regarding the primary question of notability, why do you think that these reliable sources I presented above does not show the article passing GNG ? At the very least please clarify why these articles [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] covering the song in detail fail WP:SIGCOV ? -- DBig Xrayᗙ 07:23, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply

DBigXray Even if we consider that it has significant coverage, from WP:NOPAGE: There are other times when it is better to cover notable topics, that clearly should be included in Wikipedia, as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context. A decision to cover a notable topic only as part of a broader page does not in any way disparage the importance of the topic... there can be more complete context that would be lost on a separate page. and from WP:NSONG: Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. I have proposed the trimmed version of the whole article (stub size). Is there any significant/useful info left out in it? Add it. Do not add info already covered in Agent Vinod like lyricist, musician and other technical info. The song plagiarism issue is already covered in Agent Vinod (2012 film)#Controversies. So there will be no need of it after merger. - Nizil ( talk) 07:45, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
In response to your query on my talkpage, I believe that song is a borderline case of notability. There are large number of links/sources about the song but depth of coverage is not that good. A paragraph is enough to cover information about the song. And if it is in film article than a lot of sentences on singers etc would be already covered in soundtrack section. So I proposed better merge it with film article.- Nizil ( talk) 11:32, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
(Responding to ping by Nizil on talk) Thanks for agreeing that the song is notable (even if you think it is barely). Once the notability question is answered with a yes, it is quite easy to decide if the article needs to be merged or should be kept standalone. Regarding your quote above from WP:NOPAGE, the premise is mainly based on the context. Do you need to know about the film's plot or the story to understand this item song's plot ? Answer is No. A user does not need to read the film article if his only intention is to read and learn more about this song. No context is getting lost if the content of the song is presented in sufficient and necessary detail on its separate article. Regarding your second quote from WP:NSONG There is already enough material from reliable sources that the article has been expanded five times by me from a stub to a C class. I have already thought of a DYK for this song that will be nominated once the AfD tag is removed. So the assertion that "there is not enough material to warrant an article and hence article should be merged" has been proved to be false. Regarding the trimmed summary, I have replied on the talk page that it is not a good summary. You can add it into the main article but that does not mean the song article can be redirected. The topic is notable in its own right based on the sources and chart rankings and has enough material to merit its own article. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 07:04, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nominator CptViraj - material added is mostly trivial and only reinforces non-notability. Note MOS:POPCULT indicates that WP:TERTIARY sources are preferable. Song has no significance other than in the context of the film, AFAICS all the secondary WP:RS added to the article discuss the song in the context of the film, all but two of the WP:RS date from the release of the film.

I believe that is where you and I disagree. I had checked these sources a few days ago but forgot to !vote at that time. Most of these sources discuss the plagiarism case, while others talk about the song in the context of the film. Then there are a few sources like bollyspice and glamgold whose reliability is dubious at best. BTW, I am not voting delete; there is clearly some useful information about the song that can be presented in the film's article. The point mentioned in PAGEDECIDE that is applicable here is: There are other times when it is better to cover notable topics, that clearly should be included in Wikipedia, as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context. A decision to cover a notable topic only as part of a broader page does not in any way disparage the importance of the topic. I am also in agreement with the "Merge" suggestion on the article talk page. Dee 03 14:27, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Dee03, Thanks for elaborating. The plagiarism case is not about the film or film plot, the issue and subsequent court case is about the song itself. The sources covering the court case are considered as WP:SIGCOV. I have already linked few other sources in my last comment which talk in detail about the song, its video, music etc etc, i.e. all the artefacts related to this song. All these sources give exclusive coverage to the song thereby imparting it notability via WP:SIGCOV.
  • You have further argued in favour of merge using the Criteria 1 of WP:PAGEDECIDE i.e. about context. You are quoting lines from the guideline without stating if it really applies and why. I consider this justification of context, inappropriate for some very strong reasons. This song is an item number (song). The plot of the item number (both its lyrics and song video) is completely disjoint from the plot of the film. The only overlap being both song and the film feature the main protagonist Saif Ali Khan. I have seen the movie and the song, and I can tell you that the viewer of the song does not need to read about the film or know its plot to get a greater understanding of whatever is happening in the song video. Hence the quoted text is not applicable to our case of this song. This reasoning for "context" might have held true had this been a normal song from a movie but being an item number song this is clearly an exception to it. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 17:37, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I know what that plagiarism case is about. The song does not become notable just because there was a plagiarism case filed against its makers. I have already explained, based on my editorial judgment, if PAGEDECIDE "really applies and why". Additionally, I take objection to some of the wording in the article, such as "Republic World reported that the song had gained cult status with the passage of time", when in reality the RW source only says "The movie performed moderately well but the songs of the movie gained cult status over time." I can see 12 songs on the soundtrack of the film. SYNTH concerns and usage of unreliable sources to spuriously swell up the article prose do not help your case. Dee 03 20:24, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Controversy coverage : Your claims are akin to stating that even if the reliable sources widely covered the court case, in separate article, completely dedicated to the court case of the song, the song did not become notable. Q. Did the court case about the song, get widely reported in the reliable media, or not? It did, and whether you like it or not, the controversy it created, was widely covered and hence it contributed to the notability of the song. Our job as AfD contributors, is to judge if there is enough independent coverage of the song or not, per WP:SIGCOV. The coverage of the court case controversy on the song, is still a coverage of an aspect of the song. Many banned books, songs and films become notable per WP:GNG simply because of it getting banned by the government. Because the act of banning generates coverage for the song and hence it passes our WP:GNG criteria. These extensive and detailed coverages from   Wall Street Journal, Zee News, Hindustan Times, Firstpost, and Telegraph of the song controversy are significant coverages and they cannot be ignored simply stating that "they are extensively covering an aspect of the song" and not the song.
  • Song coverage : The reliable sources are not just giving extensive coverage to the controversy, but the song as well. The song and its contents, are discussed in detail in these articles linked at, BollySpice, Hindustan Times, Zee News, BBC, Dainik Jagran, Telegraph, Glamgold. Even if you doubt the reliability of bollyspice and glamgold, there are enough detailed coverages of the song from other highly reliable sources such as Hindustan Times, Zee News, BBC, Dainik Jagaran and Telegraph. It is unfortunate to see, that one is ignoring the mere existence of these detailed coverages of the song, in independent reliable media that is adding to the WP:GNG criteria being met.
  • Cult status of the song : Regarding your last line, about "Republic World reported that the song had gained cult status with the passage of time". As you noted in your quote from the source this is what the source actually said. Is it reasonable to delete the article covering a "cult song" simply because its movie performed moderately?There is no requirement, for the film to do well, or become a blockbuster, for the song to become a cult song. A song can very well, become a cult song, in-spite of the movie becoming a super flop, and not even meriting its own film article. There are several songs in India, that are very popular, but the movie tanked and flopped badly. I can give examples, but it is unnecessary here and you get the idea anyway. What really matters here is that "The song gained cult status over time. Whether the movie did well or if the actor got kudos or not is completely immaterial as far as the popularity (and hence the notability) of the song is concerned.

  • Do you have a worthwhile reply to my comment or an analysis of source I presented? There is no need to comment if you do not have anything constructive to add to this discussion.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 14:36, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Let me repeat myself: The source says "the songs of the movie gained cult status over time"; there are 12 songs on the film's soundtrack. And you are defending your incorrect synthesis of source material by saying "this is what the source actually said." I brought up the unreliable sources concern only because I find two paragraphs in Production section cited solely to one such source. There are further issues in the Charts section in which there are vague claims that the song had topped "all charts", but which charts are these claims referring to? There is tangential information about a Fatboy Slim video in the Video section. Once we get past all the problematic stuff, the relevant content that we will be left with can be trimmed down to one concise paragraph. This is exactly the kind of scenario in which one is expected to make an editorial judgement on whether the topic is suitable for a standalone article or better presented as part of a larger article. Also, my opinion does not become "fallacious" for rightly pointing out your errors. Dee 03 16:35, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Please notice that the section header of the Republic article you are referring to is titled as "Pungi" which is also the most popular song of the film and the subject of this AfD discussion. " Pyaar Ki Pungi " and " Pungi " refer to the same song. Regarding charts, it was reported by Wall Street Journal as topping the music charts in India in March 2012. NDTV, India today and Scroll have called this song a Superhit, viral hit and hit respectively. [37]. Are you claiming that these reliable sources are lying about the song topping the charts in India ? On what basis are you claiming that this song did not top the charts as being reported by multiple reliable sources ? I can understand that one expects more detail info on the specifics of chart, but one cannot refuse to accept the reliable sources simply referring to the lack of details. I will not comment on rest of your statement since we are discussing the notability here and discussions related to worthiness of a few lines are better suited for the talk page of the article and not AfD. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 08:10, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • How does it matter what the section heading of the article was? What matters is what the source material explicitly states. And what it explicitly states does not match the current wording in the article. I don't think this is the "most popular song of the film"; I believe it is Raabta. You keep talking about how this song topped the charts. Can you tell me which charts you are referring to? Vague statements like it topped "all charts" are should be removed immediately. Dee 03 17:29, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • I understand your point but note that FWIW the source explicitly mentioned Pungi song in the section header talking about the cult status of the songs. It is not me or my WP:OR but these [38] [39], [40] [41] reliable sources that are claiming that Pungi song is topping the charts.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 17:41, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to the article about the film based on my reading of both the articles, the sources presented and the analysis of these sources in this discussion. I do wish to thank DBigXray for the hard work in searching for the sources and I think the content can be preserved in the article about the film. I will write a longer justification soon.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 17:45, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Explanation of my !vote
    1. Information about charts is vague/not reliable -
      This is one of the problems in India since there is no chart like Billboard. The sources which claim that the song topped charts are not really specifying which chart. For example
      1. Report in WSJ Blog (IndiaRealTime) claims it has "been topping the charts", but then links to http://www.livehindiradio.com/make-way-for-pyaar-ki-pungi/ as the source of their information which is not accessible and not sure how reliable.
      2. Scroll article covers the song in 1 sentence where it says "In 2012, another hit song Pyar Ki Pungi...", bit doesn't elaborate. The term hit song also seems to be used informally here.
      3. India today covers in 1 sentence saying "Incidentally, it was only a few days back that the Internet was abuzz with comparisons between the viral hit 'Pyaar Ki Pungi' from Saif Ali Khan's Agent Vinod and Iranian band Barobax's hit 'Soosan Khanoom'.". The term viral hit is not standard and has been used to describe many videos.
      4. NDTV article says that a video by 2 Bhojpuri film actors dancing to this song went viral. This is a human interest story, not about the song's charting. While the article does describe the song in 1 sentence as "Agent Vinod's superhit song", it is a description and not an indication of charting.
      5. Something which is cult status would be described as such by multiple sources and there will usually be significant reviews. In this case, I cannot find anything other than the Republic link which is a Buzzfeed style lisicle. There is not much information other than "The movie performed moderately well but the songs of the movie gained cult status over time." This is also confusing as it refers to the movie and "songs of the movie", instead of the particular song (for which I don't see any mention other than the section header).
    2. Sources are majorly covering the song in context of the film/soundtrack or plagiarism controversy. Most sources are short announcements and don't really emphasise why the song is independently notable of the movie.
      1. The somewhat substantial articles about the song deal largely with the plagiarism controversy. Report in WSJ Blog (IndiaRealTime), Zee News, Telegraph. However the controversy is relevant to both the song and the film it is part of. This is best mentioned in a single combined article.
      2. Some coverage refers to the soundtrack of the movie a whole. For example BBC is a very good source, but is a review of the entire movie album (I might add, that often it is the movie soundtrack albums which are notable)
      3. Some of the coverage is likely based on promotional brochures/press releases which extensively quote the people involved. For example, this Hindi Dainik Jagran article is most likely from one of the wire agencies as it largely quotes the people behind the song. The exact same article was reprinted in ZeeNews (and also in Bhaskar). I wouldn't really consider these as independent news reports.
      4. Some coverage is about the release, but are quite short. For example this Hindustan Times article called "Make way for Pyaar Ki Pungi" is actually just 2 sentences long.
      5. Some sites are unreliable/seem to have no editorial oversight Glamgold seems to be reproducing the press release or closely paraphrasing it based on this.
    3. Article content
      1. Currently, content about the plagiarism is duplicated at the film articles and this song article. These can be unified.
      2. Some of the content about the charts is vague. Some of the quotes can also be reduced a bit. Considering the size of both articles, it would be useful to merge into the film article.
Overall, I believe a merge works best here. It preserves all the content and yet keeps it from being fragmented. Readers who read the film article are also informed about the song and the controversy (and vice versa). Off topic, this is one of the longest AFDs I have ever read. I think everyone on this AFD has made efforts to find and analyse sources and I really appreciate everyone's hard work.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 20:10, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
DL, Thanks a lot for taking time and coming out with a detailed reply. I would register my disagreement with you on several points. (1) Regarding chart, Is there a reason for not trusting the WSJ article that this was topping the charts, the page it linked might be dead but the information does not become outdated. As for as WP:V goes, The WSJ stating it is good enough for verifiability on chart status. I hope you would agree that the reliable sources do not use the terms such as viral hits, superhits for non notable songs. (2) These articles are of varying lengths. What matters here is that these articles exclusively cover the song and its aspects in detail, and that makes it pass WP:SIGCOV. Regarding Glamgold article, if a blog mirrors a site, it does not devalue the article. (3) If the article is notable it can even remain a stub. The article content should be discussed on article talk and not AfD.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 18:13, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
About (1), this is one of the problems with recent journalism. The report in WSJ Blog (IndiaRealTime) cited http://www.livehindiradio.com/make-way-for-pyaar-ki-pungi/ as the source of their information. I did find an archived copy of it [42] which says

The renouned object strain from Illuminati’s Agent Vinod stoical by a ever-so-versatile Pritam Chakraborty is trending all over and creation a approach atop all charts interjection to a comic, impertinent and familiar tone.

If the WSJ report relied on this word salad in an unreliable source, I don't see why we should trust it. Journalists can make mistakes occasionally; I believe in analysing the source critically. In my opinion, the WSJ report does not satisfy WP:V for citing the song's performance in charts.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 17:32, 24 October 2019 (UTC) reply
When Wikipedia cites reliable sources, we trust the reliable sources and their editorial standards. Although the WSJ article linked that site, WSJ article no where stated that it is basing the fact that "the song was topping the chart" only on one site that they linked. So it is wrong to claim that they did so. IMHO responsible newspapers use multiple sources to verify and confirm their content before publishing it. In any case this was a blatant strawman arguement where you tried to nitpick WSJ. FYI On 14 March 2012, Hindustan Times (HT) reported that the song was "trending like hot cakes online" and was en route to the top of all the charts. The success of the song was credited by HT to its "comic cheeky and catchy tone". [43] India today reported the song as a chartbuster. [44]. So clearly there are other reliable and major newspapers in India that are also publishing that this song has been topping the chart, Any reason why you are specifically singling out WSJ and not these 2 papers who are saying it ? -- DBig Xrayᗙ 12:02, 25 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • I checked the nominations, but I am not really convinced, particularly as one of them is more about the singer than the song. I believe Raabta deserves an article by itself because the song has been in 2 films and multiple versions of it have been produced. That adds to notability and makes it harder to have a single target for merge. Pungi on the other hand could be mentioned in the article about the film.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 18:02, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
This is nit picking on your part. The singer was nominated for this song. Getting nominated for the best song is also significant achievement in the Indian film industry. Two major questions are of notability and enough content for a standalone article. Both of them are met here, as I elaborated in my response to Dee.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 18:16, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I guess we can agree to disagree here. In my opinion, the content can actually be trimmed. A lot of the content in the charts section is not really required. For example, the fact that a Bhojpuri singer had a viral video about the song is not exactly something I would expected to read in an encyclopedia article 10 years from now. The sources are more P3 gossip kind of news or listicles, instead of proper song reviews. A source claiming that a song is cult hit without any explanation and then giving it only a single sentence of coverage; I guess I don't prefer to use sources like that. The "Production" section also contains long quotes by Pritam sourced to bollywood gopssip sites of questionable reliability. The copyright issue is duplicated is the movie article as well. Editorially, a merge might be better here.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 19:23, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I would say that you are using a lot of strawman argument above, on the sources. I disagree with what you said above but yes, let's agree to disagree. This sub thread is for the awards nomination let's  focus on that. As you know there are no Billboards charts in India. What we do know is that these 2 awards are major and notable and are selected for the entire year. IMHO being in the Nomination for the Best song award means that the song was in the top 5 songs released for the entire year, this sounds like a good example of a song topping chart (not just a week but a year.) Hence IMHO, this also merits a KEEP per WP:Nsongs criteria #1. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 19:57, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Not a straw man at all. I was addressing specifically the "enough content for a standalone article" part as per WP:PAGEDECIDE. My point is that if we trim some of the non essential information, this can very well be merged. I am not disputing the award nomination, but I am saying it doesn't convince me to specifically keep it as a standalone article. An award nonination/win is presumed to be a good indicator of notability because usually such songs are reviewed in detail by critics and receive quite a bit of dedicated coverage. This is an exceptional case where a song nominated for Best Song at Zee Cine has hardly any dedicated review/coverage except the copyright controversy.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 17:23, 24 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Bollywood (Hindi Film Industry) released 1,602 films in the year 2012, Assuming an average of 5 songs per film, gives the total number of sample space of 8000 songs, of which 5 were nominated for the best song award at the 2013 Zee Cine Award and another   14th IIFA Awards for IIFA Award for Best Male Playback Singer for the Pungi Song. But here you are doing all sorts of nit picking and strawmans to claim that this blockbuster song should be merged. All stats and logic be dammned ? For reasons unknown to me you fail to appreciate this achievement of the song, it appears to me as if you believe that no Hindi film song should have its own separate page even if the song has been shown to be highly popular/superhit/blockbuster/award nominee, you are proposing to merge it with the film article and IMHO this is not appropriate. The discovery of this facet of award nomination has already convinced 2 editors (WBG changed to keep and 4meter4 voted to Keep). So I am glad that there is still hope for Wikipedia.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 12:02, 25 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per WP:HEY. Clearly passes WP:NSONG, WP:GNG, and WP:SIGCOV. The award nominations and copyvio stories convince me that this subject deserves an article seperate from the film. 4meter4 ( talk) 02:17, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Week Keep with optional Merge: Compelling arguments on both sides and a tough one. Comments by the nom and User:Goldsztajn, as well as others, that the majority of sources relate the song in context with the film, are valid for merging. Otr500 ( talk) 09:31, 25 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comments: I have a suggestion: There needs to be a gathering of the minds at WP:NSong and a discussion revolving around notability issue criterion for foreign songs on the English Wikipedia. Reading all the nit-picking gives me a headache. IF we are going to continue to promote merging foreign content here then there needs to be some basic understanding and agreement so there is far less battling. The article uses acronyms that need to be changed on first instance of use, and severe trimming to get rid of the bloat, but those are editing issues. The Wall Street Journal is a major publication and although more about the plagiarism/copyright of the song, shortcut to fame and attention or not, it revolves around the song but there really needs to be more.

  • Strong keep - It makes little sense to delete this article when there are still dozens of articles for individual characters in Harry Potter, a far inferior literary work. The proposed deletion criteria do not conform to WP:N or WP:V -- the article contains extensive secondary sourcing (not just primary sourcing) which establish that the character is notable and not just in an in-universe setting. A thorough WP:BEFORE search would have uncovered these citations if indeed one was performed prior to the current blitz of AFD prods. 107.77.203.73 ( talk) 13:52, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Delete (and delete the whole slew too). This one at least pretends to have sources (most of the other Vorkosigan articles nominated for deletion didn't even have a reference section), but they are all either the books she appears in or things written by the author of said books. Alas, much as I love me some manic-dwarf-trainwreck-chess science fiction, I don't think society has noticed this awesomeness. I will happily change my mind if somebody finds some sources, but the only keep vote on any of them is, essentially an appeal to WP:OTHERSTUFF. Rockphed ( talk) 15:05, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Strong Keep. A simple GScholar search turns up at least two dozen essays or books discussing the character. The Vorkosigian books are one of the most acclaimed series in recent science fiction, and have written about and reviewed extensively in genre, mainstream and academic sources. It's plain as day that neither the nominator nor any of the delete !voters have made more than the most perfunctory efforts to comply with the principles behind WP:BEFORE.

    • Can you list those pieces? WP:BEFORE also asks that you read them, so please don't just throw google hits at us, and explain how many paragraphs or such are dedicated to her in each of those pieces. You remember, of course, that mentions in passing generally don't help with making topics notable? My sampling of the GScholar sources (sadly, even through I have access to a university network and I use Library Genesis as a backup search, some of those works are inaccessible even for me) sadly ended up with only mentions in passing that don't go beyond a fictional summary of the character's biography. There are several paragraphs about her in in the chapter 'THE MOTHER-LODE: CORDELIA' but the work of JB Croft but they seem to be almost entirely a fictional character biography with little analysis, through granted, it's my subjective assessment (I invite others to access this source at [45]). Frankly, I read this entire chapter (less than one page, I think) twice, and I still have no idea what the author is saying much, nor can I even think of a single sentence we could add to our article using it as a reference (but again, I'd be happy to see if someone else could use it to expand this somewhow!). As far as I can see from sources I was able to access, this is the best, and I just don't think this is sufficient. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:30, 22 October 2019 (UTC) reply

    • I am not familiar with a tool that makes group AfDs easy, and they are too easy to 'torpedo' by the all too common super inclusionists / fanboys. If there is a point it is that your spurious deprods ended up spamming AfD with ~15 effectively uncontested and consensus for delete new threads. Perhaps we should discuss on AN whether you should not be banned from WP:PROD. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:54, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I believe that WP:ANI discussion has already been done and my WP:PRODPATROLLING was found to be what PROD patrolling is supposed to be. Making threats and writing off others as fanboys presents a potential WP:BOOMERANG issue for you. From my perspective, you are the one who initiated all of this "spam" by eschewing WP:ATD and bringing them to PROD and now individually to AFC. ~ Kvng ( talk) 15:27, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I have to be on Piotrus's side for this one, as your DEPROD rationale made absolutely no sense. "Consider merge or redirect per WP:ATD". There are no sources in the article, so "merge" is already out of the question, per the extremely basic concept of WP:RS. The only plausible option in this scenario is improve the article (if possible) or boldly redirect it, and you did neither. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 20:29, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Yes, I did miss an opportunity to do bold redirects. Sorry about that. Piotrus missed two such opportunities. ~ Kvng ( talk) 14:04, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I was and am expecting another inclusionist from the WP:ITSIMPORTANT camp to simply revert any redirect. AfD at least give a 'stamp' that prevents sneaky undoing of redirects (I am not saying you do sneaky undo of redirects, but I have seen such outcome, i.e. sneaky undo of redirects by some other editors, before. As such, I feel that if a prod is contested with a bad rationale, redirects are just a waste of time without an AfD to back such outcome). -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:21, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Thanks for explaining your thinking. The few sneaky redirect reverts I've seen are most often in good faith. Although there is technically no such thing as a bad DEPROD rationale I appreciate that mass-DEPRODDING is potentially WP:DISRUPTIVE. Unless there's reasonable indicatition in the PROD rationale why this is not a good idea, I will continue to DEPROD or boldly redirect PRODs that have an obvious redirect opportunity. This includes things like songs on notable albums, albums by notable artists, books by notable authors and characters etc. in notable books. These tend to be potential search terms and, your concerns about sneaky reverts notwithstanding, redirects are WP:CHEAP. ~ Kvng ( talk) 15:12, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: The basic information is already available at the Nidhi company article; the present article appears to be a user guide on setting up such a company, which therefore falls under WP:NOTHOWTO. (The article also refers to itself as "this blog entry" and is substantially similar to a "5 Things to keep in mind before starting a Nidhi Company" post on a site which cannot be linked here, so there is a possible WP:COPYVIO issue.)

The result was no consensus. Well, it seems like the only actual notability guideline that applies here is WP:GNG, seeing as WP:NFICTION is an essay and a TV series being notable does not automatically imply that an object in the series is as well. While a bunch of keep arguments are too perfunctory to carry a lot of weight, it seems like there is enough disagreement on whether the presented sources establish notability that this has no consensus for deletion (although it's closer to a remove than to a retain - saying "remove" since some people are advocating redirects rather than deletion) exist in this discussion.

I've seen Piotrus's request that I as the closing admin review the presented sources as well but I don't think it's a good idea; it muddies the distinction between the admin who impartially determines what the consensus - if it exists - is and the admin that supervotes on the basis of their own opinion. Whether Piotrus nominated a number of other articles for deletion is not really relevant to the status of the article. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk, contributions) 16:58, 22 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Happily, the references cited above include exactly what you are asking for. For example, the reference in which they go into detail on how they constructed the model, or the reference in which they go into detail describing the appearance of the model when it was being sold and so-forth. The closing admin should consider that this is one of ~30 article nom'd for deletion in ~24-48 hours by this particular editor. FOARP ( talk) 11:18, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
The closing admin will do well to review the refs themselves as to me a few sentences are very much the definition of mentions in passing. And the number of articles I nominated is irrelevant, I had a few easy days to work on some spam backlog and I nominated like two dozen of uncontroversial fancruft stuff like Sergyar that was negligible for prod, since it was declined by a certain editor who tends to decline all fiction-related stuff he sees in prod (and probably should be banned from deprodding articles...) so yeah, it has to end up here... -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:23, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete or Redirect - The sources brought up by FOARP have nothing to do with the actual ship and are related to the show itself or are just very tangential and crufty references. It proves nothing. The article about the ship fails GNG and the show articles explain what the Galactica is and what it does sufficiently. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 13:39, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Err... stuff "related to the show", at least in as much as it discusses how the ship was created, IS related to the ship. One of those references goes into detail about how Dykstra built it, another discusses it's appearance, size etc., another discusses the sales of models of the ship. "Crufty references" are not generally recognised as a WP:DELREASON. FOARP ( talk) 14:25, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep This is Articles for Deletion not a place to remake failed merge discussions. WP:NFICTION is just an essay, has failed as a guideline and so has no consensus or standing. There's plenty of coverage of the topic, as noted above, and so it passes WP:GNG. Applicable policies include WP:ATD; WP:BATTLEGROUND; WP:DELAFD; WP:NOTPAPER; WP:PRESERVE; WP:SK; &c.

  • Keep - The fictional spaceship Battlestar Galactica is notable culturally and the article gets about 100 page views a day which indicates there is public interest in the topic. Granted the fictional ship is not as culturally impactful as the Starship Enterprise, but there are three reasons why the article is notable culturally. First, The article on the BattleStar Galatica television series indicates: "The series garnered a wide range of critical acclaim both at the time of its run and in the years since, including a Peabody Award, the Television Critics Association's Program of the Year Award, a placement inside Time's 100 Best TV Shows of All-Time, and Emmy nominations for its writing, directing, costume design, visual effects, sound mixing, and sound editing, with Emmy wins for both visual effects and sound editing." So it was a very popular series and aclaimable by notable entities. Second, and pardon my frankness, although I personally don't think the series was good in terms of memorable characters, etc., it was probably the best the lame, baby boomers were producing at the time (Wikipedia's article on the baby boomers indicates, "When Generation X came along just after the boomers, they would be the first generation to enjoy a lesser quality of life than the generation preceding it"). So until the baby boomers pass away, the size of their generation and their penchant for nostalgia will continue to make the article culturally relevant and popular. Third, in terms of coverage of the topic in order to obtain Wikipedia's notabality standards, I agree with User: FOARP who said, "This is evidenced by significant coverage in reliable, independent source of the development of special effects model, its construction by special-effects artists, and its sale, the model kits that were sold for it, coverage of it in the career of John Dykstra, the Emmy that was awarded for the pilot episode etc. etc. etc." Knox490 ( talk) 18:32, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • WP:NOTINHERITED - Notability is not inherited. Because the show is notable does not mean ships on the show are notable. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 16:23, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect - The popularity of the show has nothing to do with on fictional element. The sources talking about models or the sale of props are trivial mentions at best. The special effects behind the ship would be fine to include if there's other real world context, but otherwise it belongs in the main article under an appropriate section detailing the general special effects process. TTN ( talk) 20:21, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The fictional spaceship Battlestar Galactica is notable. This is evidenced by WP:SIGCOV in WP:RSs Lightburst ( talk) 17:23, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to the show, unsure of whether to keep the history. The sources listed above either talk exclusively about the process of creating the models the show used or do not mention the ship itself. They would support an article on the special effects used in Battlestar Galactica (if such an article were deemed appropriate), but not on the titular ship. Rockphed ( talk) 19:52, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comment This source also contains substantial coverage of the development of the Galactica models for the television serieses, particularly how they were constructed, what their dimensions were, how much they cost to build, who built them, what kind of look they were trying to achieve (etc. etc. etc.). Note that this detail is nearly all from the smaller-font sections where the author of the book is editorialising (i.e., a secondary source), and not from the interview sections. Publisher is Tom Doherty Associates - a reputable publisher - so this is not self-published or whatever. FOARP ( talk) 07:39, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • You mentioned that above. I don't think it is enough about the ship to indicate notability. Do you have any sources that talk about the ship and its impact? A scholarly review of Battlestar Galactica that discusses the Galactica versus other fictional ships (say against the Starship Enterprise, or the Millennium Falcon, neither of which I am convinced are notable based on their current sources), especially if it goes into the symbolism of the Galactica being an enormous ship protecting a massive fleet versus the (relatively) tiny Millenium Falcon being part of a fleet or the (generally) solitary nature of the Enterprise? Even a review of the whole of either Battlestar Galactica that spent a paragraph or two discussing the ship would be a good source. I am sure that such a document should exist, and I regret to admit that I did not look hard enough for it. Rockphed ( talk) 13:31, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Okay, so I found a review of the sort I am looking for, albeit it is just a passing mention.
Carter, Bill (September 15, 1978). "Loved 'Star Wars'? You might like 'Galactica'". The Baltimore Sun. p. 26.
A better source would have at least a description of the ship, preferably with further commentary on its role in the show. Rockphed ( talk) 15:23, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Contrary to my instincts given the number of disruptive ARS-type keepist editors who have already commented, this topic clearly actually is notable and merits its own article. Best to keep it clear of fancruft by bros who enjoy the rebooted series and didn't even know until they checked Wikipedia that there was an earlier 1970s version, though... Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 07:53, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • @ Hijiri88:You do realize that this is about the ship itself, rather than the series. If so, then I would ask what your reasoning is that it deserves an article, because I would honestly like to know. It might convince me if it exists, because so far it doesn't seem to. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 20:35, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Yes, I do. That's why I clarified that my view would probably be different if the article were about a fictional ship in some flavour-of-the-month show no one will remember in ten years. Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 00:29, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
That being said, per WP:ALLPLOT, I wouldn't be opposed to userfying it to, for example, User:Andrew Davidson/Battlestar Galactica (fictional spacecraft), and forcing such a user to put their money where their mouth is and turning this into the article I'm convinced it could be (and they are no doubt tendentiously arguing that it could be with no good faith sincerity or intention to do so). A redirect in the meantime would also be fine. Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 00:36, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  1. Voting a Delete here is completely unjustified here as Note 1 of WP:NSONG states Note 1: Songs that do not rise to notability for an independent article should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song.
  2. You claim "Musicplus charts are not acclaimed" but refuse to provide any basis for your assertion. Music Plus Charts, has published its criteria which looks quite reasonable to me. The topic of discussion is not Musicplus but the song. Please let us know which charts in India are acclaimed/significant according to you.

Why are you shocked that editors are asking for deletion but not shocked at the poor page 3 references you are bringing up? Most of the articles you have dumped here are reporting the release of the song. Such PR stunts are pulled by all films. Then there is second category of the articles that simple put words to what is seen in the music video. Then of course you have presented the masterpiece which claims the song to be most viewed of the YouTube song. Just like how vaguely these refs claim that the song "tops the chart", it goes hyperbolic in making the claim of being the most viewed song as well. User:Winged Blades of Godric rightly said that there is nothing to write about the song. What he meant was there is nothing "encyclopedic" to write about the song. For the sake of writing one may always stoop down the quality levels and also write about all the codes to apply to make this song your caller tune. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 16:14, 11 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Essentially, James Grime is a very active self-promotion for-hire speaker with mathematics content. He is not a mathematics academic by any measure (no postdoctoral research), but a performer, a mathematics educator and entertainer

The sources are all promotional and non-independent. Many are WP:RS-failing. James Grime has written articles, but no one has written about him, not independently and in a reliable source. Some of the sources look like quality sources, but they are authored by himself.

Most of the content is personal trivia. So much is content based upon interviews, i.e. based upon himself talking about himself. SmokeyJoe ( talk) 01:31, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Note, I was the reviewer who passed the article for AfC, and also the requestor that the article be unsalted, so assess bias accordingly. As I see it, Grime is a professor at the very prestigious University of Cambridge [62], and passes WP:NPROF, specifically criteria 7. As noted in the last AfD, hes been a writer for the guardian [63], part of the Millennium Mathematics Project through which he tours an Enigma machine, and discovered a set of non-transitive dice. The last AfD was almost 6 years ago, Grime has been busy since then. Almost all of the sources have been published since then. Grime certainly passes WP:GNG as a popular mathematician, considering as well his viral contributions to Numberphile, and there is a strong case for NPROF 7.

    • Grime is a professor at the very prestigious University of Cambridge [64] Not true. Not Professor. H-index=2 means that he not recognized as a serious researcher. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 02:18, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    • passes WP:NPROF, specifically criteria 7. It says: "The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity". Do you have a single independent reliable source that says this?? -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 02:20, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    • hes been a writer for the guardian [65]. Writing articles for the guardian does not get you a Wikipedia article. Authorship does not create Wikipedia-notability, unless you are trying to meet WP:NAUTHOR. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 02:23, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    • Grime certainly passes WP:GNG ...? Can you point to two sources are are independent, reliable, and discuss James Grime? Possibly there are buried in the copious non-independent sources listed in the article, and returned by google. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 05:05, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Numberphile – basically per David Eppstein in the last AfD. Grime focuses on public engagement so is not likely to pass most WP:PROF criteria, but it's perfectly possible for him to be a notable populariser per WP:PROF#C7 or the WP:GNG. At first glance I assumed he would be—Numberphile certainly is notable—but on closer inspection the sourcing just isn't there. Most of the references in the article are to non-independent sources or passing mentions of Grime in popular articles about mathematics. I searched quite hard and couldn't find anything better. The closest is probably The Best Writing on Mathematics 2018, but we can't have a BLP hanging off a single, one-paragraph contributor bio in one book. But it's not a bad article. In the interests of preserving appropriate content we should redirect to the project he's most associated with ( Numberphile) and tag it with {{ R with possibilities}}. It can be revived should more independent sourcing emerge. –  Joe ( talk) 09:27, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    @ SmokeyJoe: I think your comments on Grime's career in the nomination are in poor taste. We're supposed to be assessing the merits of the sources, not the subject. Remember that Wikipedia is in the real world. –  Joe ( talk) 09:28, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
      • Did I come across as personally critical. Sorry. His Google Scholar shows that he obviously not a Mathematics Professor as someone (not James) says. James’s own pages explain that in completing his PhD he turned his interests to public speaking. It seems to reflect an honest interest, certainly not a lack of ability. He combines entertainment with education, which is admirable. All of the sources are “promotional”, by which we mean “not independent and linking to advertising to pay for his product”. He charges for his presentations, which is not a criticism of the person, everyone needs to earn money for their time, but Wikipedia is averse to building content on promotional sources. I’ve looked fairly hard, and I can find no independent commentary. He fails WP:PROF, and WP:PERFORMER, and the WP:GNG. I wish him well, but reliable others have not (yet) written about him. — SmokeyJoe ( talk) 10:01, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Quite a lot of people may have come across Grime when he has been giving a talk or they may have seen him on YouTube. They may be interested in knowing who the hell he is. By googling they'll either get highly promotional information or just detail about some particular thing he has done. For the sake of argument I'll assume everything in the article is verifiable – if not we can make it so. Also for the sake of argument I'll assume he fails all our notability guidelines (I haven't checked). But it is good to have an article about him and this article is worth reading. It helps readers and improves Wikipedia. If he fails our notability criteria it is because they are not perfect. Sometimes they give the wrong answer. They do not pretend to always give the right answer. They are there to guide us when we (as editors) try to represent the interests of readers. We should not blindly follow the notability guidelines when they fail us. (By the way a merge with Millennium Mathematics Project would be better than Numberphile but neither work too well.)

  • Delete - not easy working through the refs but in the end none of them make a robust case for notability. The whole thing reads like self promotion right down to the little advert for their own shop. Fails WP:GNG.   Velella   Velella Talk   10:58, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - A lot of people getting hung up on WP:NPROF above, but WP:BASIC is a much more easy test - which the subject fails according to my WP:BEFORE. I could not find any instances of WP:SIGCOV of the actual subject of the article, all I could find were one-or-two-sentence-long descriptions of him in articles about popular mathematics. FOARP ( talk) 11:31, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect with {{ R with possibilities}}–possibly with a semi-protect—per Joe. I'm a bit more lenient when it comes to reviewing AfCs than how I would personally argue at AfD – regardless of how I feel about the notability policy, I had an honest belief that such an article could survive an AfD, and would've accepted it (but would've tagged the article for cleanup) were it not for the salt, hence why I opened the DRV. Sceptre ( talk) 17:53, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    • I too am lenient with AfC, especially on academic related topics, like this, but when the reference list begins with non-independent unsuitable sources, it is a bad sign. I agree with Grime is close to the line, but he is below it. Uncomfortably, it may require two negative incidents for independent newspaper coverage that provide a distant perspective introduction for him to meet the GNG. However, if that happens, these sources will provide the anchoring perspective, and the article won’t begin with the subject’s childhood interests, etc. Wikipedia has many listed in Category:Science communicators; is it harder for mathematics communicators? —- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 20:42, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
      • Most contemporary popular mathematicians are in the Numberphile milieu these days. Mathematics doesn't really capture the imagination like astrophysics (NDGT) or futurism (Michio Kaku) do, either. The only mathematics communicators that aren't associated with Numberphile that I can think of on the top of my head are Vi Hart and Kevin Houston, and I only know of the latter because he lectures in the compulsory modules at my alma mater. Sceptre ( talk) 21:52, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect for now, without deleting the page history. I expected to vote for Keep, being familiar with Grime as a Numberphile presenter, but am persuaded by the above that Wikipedia's notability threshold is not passed yet. – Fayenatic London 22:34, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, no redirect. I'm surprised not to find more about him. But searching for sources that were not mere talk announcements, and did not merely namedrop him in the context of Numberphile, I found only a piece from his undergraduate university saying he won honours and was going on to a doctoral programme, and a story from a university he had visited about his visit. I don't think that's enough to demonstrate independent notability. As for why no redirect: he's only mentioned on our Numberphile article as one of some 30 people who had sometimes been interviewed on Numberphile, rather than as having any central role in the channel's creation. — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:13, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Thought I had !voted here. Looking on WP:GNG alone, I don't see any independent coverage of him, and some of the articles don't mention him at all. Almost all of it is self-generated content or social media-generated content. I don't see how WP:NPROF is met, so fails both the notability guideline and the academics guideline at this time, possibly also WP:PROMO. Please don't redirect, either - not closely associated enough with the proposed target. SportingFlyer T· C 09:45, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Semi-advertorialized article about a band, not properly referenced as clearing WP:NMUSIC. The sources here are their own self-published website, a band member's LinkedIn résumé and a directory entry in an indiscriminate "all local bands" database which isn't even for this band, but for one band member's former band -- which means none of them are reliable or notability supporting sources. As always, bands are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist; they need to have achieved something that passes NMUSIC, and have reliable source coverage about them in media to support it. Furthermore, this is a likely conflict of interest, as the creator's username corresponds to the name of one of the band members. Bearcat ( talk) 23:54, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply

@ KidAd: I made a further search and was able to add one more award. Your point carries weight but I would still be inclined to keep the article. Cabrils ( talk) 01:58, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Soft Keep I don't know if awards are really a definitive sign of notability, but there are at least enough sources out there to keep me from outright voting to delete this one. Unfortunately, it's hard to see what the sources currently on the page actually say because there are no links. But, I'm erring on the side of good faith, here. Gargleafg ( talk) 02:24, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I have started adding links to the sources (or moving them from External links to sources) ( Gargleafg, you may like to take a look). Whether the awards are notable or not, they resulted in newspaper profiles about him. There are also reviews of his work, some currently in External links - if information about the performances was previously in the article, it's not now, and will have to be added. The article doesn't even name the performance group he founded. I would point out to KidAd that, per WP:ARTN, "Article content does not determine notability". Also, per WP:NEXIST, "The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable." Cabrils has added more sources, and more can be added, with more information from them about his performances. He meets WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. RebeccaGreen ( talk) 15:15, 22 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Per WP:NORG and WP:Notability, and following similar nominations from Piotrus, this small bank subsidiary may not be notable given the relatively small single product, credit card, portfolio this banking subsidiary offers. Even if it's notable, with few substantive edits and only 2-3 sentences, this could easily be merged with Rogers Communications as a separate section (if it isn't already). Not every Canadian bank needs its own article until such time as one or more users want to fully develop an article. As such, this article seems to be either a permastub or an emerging permastub.

  • Redirect to Rogers Communications (or "merge" may be descriptive) because the discussion so far covers the fact this topic should be and/or is now covered in the redirect target article. -- Doncram ( talk) 18:15, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Doncram, Yeah, "merge" isn't exactly needed considering I'd already migrated the sentence or two into that section of Rogers Communications. I was hoping to do away without keeping the Rogers Bank redirect, but, on the other hand, someone could just well re-create it as a redirect. So, I wouldn't be opposed to a redirect, either. Besides, that shortened tag, properly redirecting to Rogers Communications#Rogers Bank would actually be helpful for those wishing to tag the non-notable banking subsidiary in related articles.
  • Merge/redirect to Rogers Communications#Rogers Bank, where the subject is covered, in lieu of deletion. It is useful to direct readers looking for more information about Rogers Bank to where it is covered. Cunard ( talk) 23:45, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Some superb masterpieces of "reliable media" that has been presented is using very vague words. And such vague words from at least one of the so called reliable media can be presented for so many songs. So what stops from creating redirects is just the mention of the song in some editorial piece somewhere. Such criteria might not seem lenient for western music wherein films dont have songs; but its absolutely rubbish to apply for Hindi film songs. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 10:35, 7 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Wall Street Journal ref says ""Pyaar Ki Pungi" is gaining popularity in India and has been topping the charts." NSONG requires it be "ranked on national or significant music or sales charts". We dont know what charts WSJ is talking about and hence we dont know if they satisfy the #1-NSONG criteria. Also, NSONG says "(Note again that this indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable.)" Emphasis is not mine, but original in the guideline.
  • The so called "superhit", "viral hit" and "hit" by NDTV, India Today and Scroll are passing mentions in articles which are about other songs/albums.
  • Re-enactment by Yadav is not same as "independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups". This re-enactment is more like a TikTok video and not re-released recording which is expected by NSONG.
  • The other 4 references you are giving: two refs of HT are not returning anything. The other two from TOI and Yahoo are about the Single Event controversies which some XYZ claimed in news to be plagiarism and did not further pursue any legal course of action on it. Speaks very much about the possibly raised plagiarism claim just for publicity.
  • Apart from all this; NSONG says "Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." This isnt happening here. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 11:35, 30 September 2019 (UTC) reply
  1. We will have to accept when a reliable source publishes that a song is topping the charts. You can go and dig which specific charts, but the fact that it does is enough.
  2. The very fact that they are using a superlative qualifier such as a superhit song, makes it pass our WP:GNG criteria.
  3. The re-enactment video can be considered as a re-release of the song. The fact that it went viral, makes it notable for addition into the article.
  4. those HT links are from AfD1, they can be checked at web archives.
  5. The subject is a hit song. it is notable and can be reasonably expanded. Remember WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP -- DBig Xrayᗙ 11:47, 30 September 2019 (UTC) reply
  1. No! Our guideline redirects to a detailed WP:CHART. If you can provide reference that WSJ's usage of word "chart" has similar or equivalent meaning then maybe we can consider it on facevalue. WP:CHART gives a huge list of websites that roam around as "chart" but are not considered as notable enough. We dont know what WSJ is talking about. You will have to do the digging to prove notability.
  2. Passing mentions are still passing mentions. GNG requires significant coverage; not one or half liners.
  3. Can be considered? Why? DJ Doll's "Kanta Laga", Harry Anand's "Chadti Jawani", Shankar-Ehsan-Loy's "Ae Watan", Chirantan Bhatt's "Har Kisi Ko", etc. are the independent releases by notable artists that NSONG expects. Lip-syncing on the original song on Tiktok is not whats expected here. Some video becoming viral in itself is not a notability standard thats expected as viral is a vague term and clickbaits can make anything seem viral.
  4. Can be or can't be. Lets not assume notability on non-verifiable sources.
  5. But AfD is for establishing notability; which is not happening here. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 12:41, 30 September 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Bollywoodlife, Bollyspice, Movietalkies are not WP:RS as has been discussed in various PRs/GAs/FAs.
  • The WSJ article you provided now is the same one that you provided above. So i have already argued about this WSJ article above. Btw, why is the WSJ url "blogs.wsj.com" and not just "www.wsj.com" like in this Hollywood film review of Gemini Man. Is the blog section not controlled by editorial team? That would make it non-RS.
  • The Indianexpress article is not WP:INDEPENDENT as it is an interview of the actress seen in the song and claiming the song to be wow and what-not.
  • The two articles published by HindutanTimes have been presented by you earlier. One of them has 3 full sentences of which one is quote. The second article of HT is about the song's release and describes in words what the song looks in the video.

  • I have no reason to believe it is not reliable.
  • I had presented the articles earlier, that does not make it any less reliable or its coverage trivial. It is unfortunate to see that you feel that a full article of five paragraphs at [14] covering the song in Hindustan Times one of the most widely distributed newspaper of India is trivialized as a trivial coverage.

Whom are you trying to fool by calling it "FIVE PARAGRAPHS"? Its 9 sentences, 193 words.

The expansion of the article is irrelevant. Just like how HT has not standards and can break 200 words in 5 paragraphs, Wikipedia can do the same.

  • Merge. The lot of information in the article is about the song is "hit" which can be covered in two or three sentences. The copyright section is pointless. The production section has a long quote from Pritam and the whole section can be trimmed to few sentences. Other technical information is already covered in the article Agent Vinod. So I suggest trim, merge and redirect. A delete would be OK too after moving the content.- Nizil ( talk) 06:58, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Nizil thanks for sharing your opinion and pinging me. You may feel something to be pointless, but that does not mean it does not contribute towards notability or significant coverage. If reliable media considers it important enough to publish full page article on the topic, Wikipedia too should include this in the song article. The Plagiarism controversy of the song and subsequent court proceedings were widely covered in all the major reliable media, (some examples presented above) One more that I missed to add above is here. [1] I have objections to deleting or redirecting a notable Blockbuster song that has been covered by reliable media in significant detail i.e. WP:SIGCOV. Talks of merger are secondary to Notability question. Regarding the primary question of notability, why do you think that these reliable sources I presented above does not show the article passing GNG ? At the very least please clarify why these articles [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] covering the song in detail fail WP:SIGCOV ? -- DBig Xrayᗙ 07:23, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply

DBigXray Even if we consider that it has significant coverage, from WP:NOPAGE: There are other times when it is better to cover notable topics, that clearly should be included in Wikipedia, as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context. A decision to cover a notable topic only as part of a broader page does not in any way disparage the importance of the topic... there can be more complete context that would be lost on a separate page. and from WP:NSONG: Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. I have proposed the trimmed version of the whole article (stub size). Is there any significant/useful info left out in it? Add it. Do not add info already covered in Agent Vinod like lyricist, musician and other technical info. The song plagiarism issue is already covered in Agent Vinod (2012 film)#Controversies. So there will be no need of it after merger. - Nizil ( talk) 07:45, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
In response to your query on my talkpage, I believe that song is a borderline case of notability. There are large number of links/sources about the song but depth of coverage is not that good. A paragraph is enough to cover information about the song. And if it is in film article than a lot of sentences on singers etc would be already covered in soundtrack section. So I proposed better merge it with film article.- Nizil ( talk) 11:32, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
(Responding to ping by Nizil on talk) Thanks for agreeing that the song is notable (even if you think it is barely). Once the notability question is answered with a yes, it is quite easy to decide if the article needs to be merged or should be kept standalone. Regarding your quote above from WP:NOPAGE, the premise is mainly based on the context. Do you need to know about the film's plot or the story to understand this item song's plot ? Answer is No. A user does not need to read the film article if his only intention is to read and learn more about this song. No context is getting lost if the content of the song is presented in sufficient and necessary detail on its separate article. Regarding your second quote from WP:NSONG There is already enough material from reliable sources that the article has been expanded five times by me from a stub to a C class. I have already thought of a DYK for this song that will be nominated once the AfD tag is removed. So the assertion that "there is not enough material to warrant an article and hence article should be merged" has been proved to be false. Regarding the trimmed summary, I have replied on the talk page that it is not a good summary. You can add it into the main article but that does not mean the song article can be redirected. The topic is notable in its own right based on the sources and chart rankings and has enough material to merit its own article. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 07:04, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nominator CptViraj - material added is mostly trivial and only reinforces non-notability. Note MOS:POPCULT indicates that WP:TERTIARY sources are preferable. Song has no significance other than in the context of the film, AFAICS all the secondary WP:RS added to the article discuss the song in the context of the film, all but two of the WP:RS date from the release of the film.

I believe that is where you and I disagree. I had checked these sources a few days ago but forgot to !vote at that time. Most of these sources discuss the plagiarism case, while others talk about the song in the context of the film. Then there are a few sources like bollyspice and glamgold whose reliability is dubious at best. BTW, I am not voting delete; there is clearly some useful information about the song that can be presented in the film's article. The point mentioned in PAGEDECIDE that is applicable here is: There are other times when it is better to cover notable topics, that clearly should be included in Wikipedia, as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context. A decision to cover a notable topic only as part of a broader page does not in any way disparage the importance of the topic. I am also in agreement with the "Merge" suggestion on the article talk page. Dee 03 14:27, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Dee03, Thanks for elaborating. The plagiarism case is not about the film or film plot, the issue and subsequent court case is about the song itself. The sources covering the court case are considered as WP:SIGCOV. I have already linked few other sources in my last comment which talk in detail about the song, its video, music etc etc, i.e. all the artefacts related to this song. All these sources give exclusive coverage to the song thereby imparting it notability via WP:SIGCOV.
  • You have further argued in favour of merge using the Criteria 1 of WP:PAGEDECIDE i.e. about context. You are quoting lines from the guideline without stating if it really applies and why. I consider this justification of context, inappropriate for some very strong reasons. This song is an item number (song). The plot of the item number (both its lyrics and song video) is completely disjoint from the plot of the film. The only overlap being both song and the film feature the main protagonist Saif Ali Khan. I have seen the movie and the song, and I can tell you that the viewer of the song does not need to read about the film or know its plot to get a greater understanding of whatever is happening in the song video. Hence the quoted text is not applicable to our case of this song. This reasoning for "context" might have held true had this been a normal song from a movie but being an item number song this is clearly an exception to it. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 17:37, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I know what that plagiarism case is about. The song does not become notable just because there was a plagiarism case filed against its makers. I have already explained, based on my editorial judgment, if PAGEDECIDE "really applies and why". Additionally, I take objection to some of the wording in the article, such as "Republic World reported that the song had gained cult status with the passage of time", when in reality the RW source only says "The movie performed moderately well but the songs of the movie gained cult status over time." I can see 12 songs on the soundtrack of the film. SYNTH concerns and usage of unreliable sources to spuriously swell up the article prose do not help your case. Dee 03 20:24, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Controversy coverage : Your claims are akin to stating that even if the reliable sources widely covered the court case, in separate article, completely dedicated to the court case of the song, the song did not become notable. Q. Did the court case about the song, get widely reported in the reliable media, or not? It did, and whether you like it or not, the controversy it created, was widely covered and hence it contributed to the notability of the song. Our job as AfD contributors, is to judge if there is enough independent coverage of the song or not, per WP:SIGCOV. The coverage of the court case controversy on the song, is still a coverage of an aspect of the song. Many banned books, songs and films become notable per WP:GNG simply because of it getting banned by the government. Because the act of banning generates coverage for the song and hence it passes our WP:GNG criteria. These extensive and detailed coverages from   Wall Street Journal, Zee News, Hindustan Times, Firstpost, and Telegraph of the song controversy are significant coverages and they cannot be ignored simply stating that "they are extensively covering an aspect of the song" and not the song.
  • Song coverage : The reliable sources are not just giving extensive coverage to the controversy, but the song as well. The song and its contents, are discussed in detail in these articles linked at, BollySpice, Hindustan Times, Zee News, BBC, Dainik Jagran, Telegraph, Glamgold. Even if you doubt the reliability of bollyspice and glamgold, there are enough detailed coverages of the song from other highly reliable sources such as Hindustan Times, Zee News, BBC, Dainik Jagaran and Telegraph. It is unfortunate to see, that one is ignoring the mere existence of these detailed coverages of the song, in independent reliable media that is adding to the WP:GNG criteria being met.
  • Cult status of the song : Regarding your last line, about "Republic World reported that the song had gained cult status with the passage of time". As you noted in your quote from the source this is what the source actually said. Is it reasonable to delete the article covering a "cult song" simply because its movie performed moderately?There is no requirement, for the film to do well, or become a blockbuster, for the song to become a cult song. A song can very well, become a cult song, in-spite of the movie becoming a super flop, and not even meriting its own film article. There are several songs in India, that are very popular, but the movie tanked and flopped badly. I can give examples, but it is unnecessary here and you get the idea anyway. What really matters here is that "The song gained cult status over time. Whether the movie did well or if the actor got kudos or not is completely immaterial as far as the popularity (and hence the notability) of the song is concerned.

  • Let me repeat myself: The source says "the songs of the movie gained cult status over time"; there are 12 songs on the film's soundtrack. And you are defending your incorrect synthesis of source material by saying "this is what the source actually said." I brought up the unreliable sources concern only because I find two paragraphs in Production section cited solely to one such source. There are further issues in the Charts section in which there are vague claims that the song had topped "all charts", but which charts are these claims referring to? There is tangential information about a Fatboy Slim video in the Video section. Once we get past all the problematic stuff, the relevant content that we will be left with can be trimmed down to one concise paragraph. This is exactly the kind of scenario in which one is expected to make an editorial judgement on whether the topic is suitable for a standalone article or better presented as part of a larger article. Also, my opinion does not become "fallacious" for rightly pointing out your errors. Dee 03 16:35, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Please notice that the section header of the Republic article you are referring to is titled as "Pungi" which is also the most popular song of the film and the subject of this AfD discussion. " Pyaar Ki Pungi " and " Pungi " refer to the same song. Regarding charts, it was reported by Wall Street Journal as topping the music charts in India in March 2012. NDTV, India today and Scroll have called this song a Superhit, viral hit and hit respectively. [37]. Are you claiming that these reliable sources are lying about the song topping the charts in India ? On what basis are you claiming that this song did not top the charts as being reported by multiple reliable sources ? I can understand that one expects more detail info on the specifics of chart, but one cannot refuse to accept the reliable sources simply referring to the lack of details. I will not comment on rest of your statement since we are discussing the notability here and discussions related to worthiness of a few lines are better suited for the talk page of the article and not AfD. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 08:10, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • How does it matter what the section heading of the article was? What matters is what the source material explicitly states. And what it explicitly states does not match the current wording in the article. I don't think this is the "most popular song of the film"; I believe it is Raabta. You keep talking about how this song topped the charts. Can you tell me which charts you are referring to? Vague statements like it topped "all charts" are should be removed immediately. Dee 03 17:29, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • I understand your point but note that FWIW the source explicitly mentioned Pungi song in the section header talking about the cult status of the songs. It is not me or my WP:OR but these [38] [39], [40] [41] reliable sources that are claiming that Pungi song is topping the charts.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 17:41, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply

I do wish to thank DBigXray for the hard work in searching for the sources and I think the content can be preserved in the article about the film. I will write a longer justification soon.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 17:45, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Explanation of my !vote
    1. Information about charts is vague/not reliable -
      This is one of the problems in India since there is no chart like Billboard. The sources which claim that the song topped charts are not really specifying which chart. For example
      1. Report in WSJ Blog (IndiaRealTime) claims it has "been topping the charts", but then links to http://www.livehindiradio.com/make-way-for-pyaar-ki-pungi/ as the source of their information which is not accessible and not sure how reliable.
      2. Scroll article covers the song in 1 sentence where it says "In 2012, another hit song Pyar Ki Pungi...", bit doesn't elaborate. The term hit song also seems to be used informally here.
      3. India today covers in 1 sentence saying "Incidentally, it was only a few days back that the Internet was abuzz with comparisons between the viral hit 'Pyaar Ki Pungi' from Saif Ali Khan's Agent Vinod and Iranian band Barobax's hit 'Soosan Khanoom'.". The term viral hit is not standard and has been used to describe many videos.
      4. NDTV article says that a video by 2 Bhojpuri film actors dancing to this song went viral. This is a human interest story, not about the song's charting. While the article does describe the song in 1 sentence as "Agent Vinod's superhit song", it is a description and not an indication of charting.
      5. Something which is cult status would be described as such by multiple sources and there will usually be significant reviews. In this case, I cannot find anything other than the Republic link which is a Buzzfeed style lisicle. There is not much information other than "The movie performed moderately well but the songs of the movie gained cult status over time." This is also confusing as it refers to the movie and "songs of the movie", instead of the particular song (for which I don't see any mention other than the section header).
    2. Sources are majorly covering the song in context of the film/soundtrack or plagiarism controversy. Most sources are short announcements and don't really emphasise why the song is independently notable of the movie.
      1. The somewhat substantial articles about the song deal largely with the plagiarism controversy. Report in WSJ Blog (IndiaRealTime), Zee News, Telegraph. However the controversy is relevant to both the song and the film it is part of. This is best mentioned in a single combined article.
      2. Some coverage refers to the soundtrack of the movie a whole. For example BBC is a very good source, but is a review of the entire movie album (I might add, that often it is the movie soundtrack albums which are notable)
      3. Some of the coverage is likely based on promotional brochures/press releases which extensively quote the people involved. For example, this Hindi Dainik Jagran article is most likely from one of the wire agencies as it largely quotes the people behind the song. The exact same article was reprinted in ZeeNews (and also in Bhaskar). I wouldn't really consider these as independent news reports.
      4. Some coverage is about the release, but are quite short. For example this Hindustan Times article called "Make way for Pyaar Ki Pungi" is actually just 2 sentences long.
      5. Some sites are unreliable/seem to have no editorial oversight Glamgold seems to be reproducing the press release or closely paraphrasing it based on this.
    3. Article content
      1. Currently, content about the plagiarism is duplicated at the film articles and this song article. These can be unified.
      2. Some of the content about the charts is vague. Some of the quotes can also be reduced a bit. Considering the size of both articles, it would be useful to merge into the film article.
Overall, I believe a merge works best here. It preserves all the content and yet keeps it from being fragmented. Readers who read the film article are also informed about the song and the controversy (and vice versa). Off topic, this is one of the longest AFDs I have ever read. I think everyone on this AFD has made efforts to find and analyse sources and I really appreciate everyone's hard work.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 20:10, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
DL, Thanks a lot for taking time and coming out with a detailed reply. I would register my disagreement with you on several points. (1) Regarding chart, Is there a reason for not trusting the WSJ article that this was topping the charts, the page it linked might be dead but the information does not become outdated. As for as WP:V goes, The WSJ stating it is good enough for verifiability on chart status. I hope you would agree that the reliable sources do not use the terms such as viral hits, superhits for non notable songs. (2) These articles are of varying lengths. What matters here is that these articles exclusively cover the song and its aspects in detail, and that makes it pass WP:SIGCOV. Regarding Glamgold article, if a blog mirrors a site, it does not devalue the article. (3) If the article is notable it can even remain a stub. The article content should be discussed on article talk and not AfD.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 18:13, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
About (1), this is one of the problems with recent journalism. The report in WSJ Blog (IndiaRealTime) cited http://www.livehindiradio.com/make-way-for-pyaar-ki-pungi/ as the source of their information. I did find an archived copy of it [42] which says

The renouned object strain from Illuminati’s Agent Vinod stoical by a ever-so-versatile Pritam Chakraborty is trending all over and creation a approach atop all charts interjection to a comic, impertinent and familiar tone.

If the WSJ report relied on this word salad in an unreliable source, I don't see why we should trust it. Journalists can make mistakes occasionally; I believe in analysing the source critically. In my opinion, the WSJ report does not satisfy WP:V for citing the song's performance in charts.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 17:32, 24 October 2019 (UTC) reply
When Wikipedia cites reliable sources, we trust the reliable sources and their editorial standards. Although the WSJ article linked that site, WSJ article no where stated that it is basing the fact that "the song was topping the chart" only on one site that they linked. So it is wrong to claim that they did so. IMHO responsible newspapers use multiple sources to verify and confirm their content before publishing it. In any case this was a blatant strawman arguement where you tried to nitpick WSJ. FYI On 14 March 2012, Hindustan Times (HT) reported that the song was "trending like hot cakes online" and was en route to the top of all the charts. The success of the song was credited by HT to its "comic cheeky and catchy tone". [43] India today reported the song as a chartbuster. [44]. So clearly there are other reliable and major newspapers in India that are also publishing that this song has been topping the chart, Any reason why you are specifically singling out WSJ and not these 2 papers who are saying it ? -- DBig Xrayᗙ 12:02, 25 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • I checked the nominations, but I am not really convinced, particularly as one of them is more about the singer than the song. I believe Raabta deserves an article by itself because the song has been in 2 films and multiple versions of it have been produced. That adds to notability and makes it harder to have a single target for merge. Pungi on the other hand could be mentioned in the article about the film.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 18:02, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
This is nit picking on your part. The singer was nominated for this song. Getting nominated for the best song is also significant achievement in the Indian film industry. Two major questions are of notability and enough content for a standalone article. Both of them are met here, as I elaborated in my response to Dee.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 18:16, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I guess we can agree to disagree here. In my opinion, the content can actually be trimmed. A lot of the content in the charts section is not really required. For example, the fact that a Bhojpuri singer had a viral video about the song is not exactly something I would expected to read in an encyclopedia article 10 years from now. The sources are more P3 gossip kind of news or listicles, instead of proper song reviews. A source claiming that a song is cult hit without any explanation and then giving it only a single sentence of coverage; I guess I don't prefer to use sources like that. The "Production" section also contains long quotes by Pritam sourced to bollywood gopssip sites of questionable reliability. The copyright issue is duplicated is the movie article as well. Editorially, a merge might be better here.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 19:23, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I would say that you are using a lot of strawman argument above, on the sources. I disagree with what you said above but yes, let's agree to disagree. This sub thread is for the awards nomination let's  focus on that. As you know there are no Billboards charts in India. What we do know is that these 2 awards are major and notable and are selected for the entire year. IMHO being in the Nomination for the Best song award means that the song was in the top 5 songs released for the entire year, this sounds like a good example of a song topping chart (not just a week but a year.) Hence IMHO, this also merits a KEEP per WP:Nsongs criteria #1. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 19:57, 23 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Not a straw man at all. I was addressing specifically the "enough content for a standalone article" part as per WP:PAGEDECIDE. My point is that if we trim some of the non essential information, this can very well be merged. I am not disputing the award nomination, but I am saying it doesn't convince me to specifically keep it as a standalone article. An award nonination/win is presumed to be a good indicator of notability because usually such songs are reviewed in detail by critics and receive quite a bit of dedicated coverage. This is an exceptional case where a song nominated for Best Song at Zee Cine has hardly any dedicated review/coverage except the copyright controversy.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 17:23, 24 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Bollywood (Hindi Film Industry) released 1,602 films in the year 2012, Assuming an average of 5 songs per film, gives the total number of sample space of 8000 songs, of which 5 were nominated for the best song award at the 2013 Zee Cine Award and another   14th IIFA Awards for IIFA Award for Best Male Playback Singer for the Pungi Song. But here you are doing all sorts of nit picking and strawmans to claim that this blockbuster song should be merged. All stats and logic be dammned ? For reasons unknown to me you fail to appreciate this achievement of the song, it appears to me as if you believe that no Hindi film song should have its own separate page even if the song has been shown to be highly popular/superhit/blockbuster/award nominee, you are proposing to merge it with the film article and IMHO this is not appropriate. The discovery of this facet of award nomination has already convinced 2 editors (WBG changed to keep and 4meter4 voted to Keep). So I am glad that there is still hope for Wikipedia.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 12:02, 25 October 2019 (UTC) reply

This redirect's purpose is neither evident, nor is it mentioned in the article it leads to. This was brought up on the article talk page two years ago, with no answer yet. If there is no way to know what "Yanwen" is or means, it would seem reasonable to delete it (the redirect might just as well be an error). -- Katimpe ( talk) 18:12, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Comment "Yan wen" is the Hanyu Pinyin transliteration of 諺文, which is the Chinese name for Hangul. It's not a very plausible search term though (someone is going to come to EN Wiki and search in pinyin for a Korean term?) so I'm OK with deleting it. Even in Chinese, my first thought on seeing "Yanwen" was that it might be a reference to classical Chinese (called "Yan-wen-yan" in Hanyu pinyin). FOARP ( talk) 19:11, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete - This is a very WP:PROMO article, but there does seem to be a bit of coverage of this man, albeit not rising to the level of WP:SIGCOV in reliable sources. His winning of the prize is a bare mention in a long list of names.

Sorry, how is NASA ADS not a selective database? It indexes journals based on a manual selection, including only reliable content of interest to professional astronomers, and filters out crank material (e.g. ADS removed the Journal of Cosmology from their listings). It's no more or less selective than Scopus, so appears to meet NJournals C1b. Modest Genius talk 13:09, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • It's not selective in the sense that it strives to be inclusive of anything that is of interest to astronomy, as opposed to, say, MEDLINE.

  • Strong keep - It makes little sense to delete this article when there are still dozens of articles for individual characters in Harry Potter, a far inferior literary work. The proposed deletion criteria do not conform to WP:N or WP:V -- the article contains extensive secondary sourcing (not just primary sourcing) which establish that the character is notable and not just in an in-universe setting.

  • Delete (and delete the whole slew too). This one at least pretends to have sources (most of the other Vorkosigan articles nominated for deletion didn't even have a reference section), but they are all either the books she appears in or things written by the author of said books. Alas, much as I love me some manic-dwarf-trainwreck-chess science fiction, I don't think society has noticed this awesomeness.

  • Strong Keep. A simple GScholar search turns up at least two dozen essays or books discussing the character. The Vorkosigian books are one of the most acclaimed series in recent science fiction, and have written about and reviewed extensively in genre, mainstream and academic sources. It's plain as day that neither the nominator nor any of the delete !voters have made more than the most perfunctory efforts to comply with the principles behind WP:BEFORE.

    • Can you list those pieces? WP:BEFORE also asks that you read them, so please don't just throw google hits at us, and explain how many paragraphs or such are dedicated to her in each of those pieces. You remember, of course, that mentions in passing generally don't help with making topics notable? My sampling of the GScholar sources (sadly, even through I have access to a university network and I use Library Genesis as a backup search, some of those works are inaccessible even for me) sadly ended up with only mentions in passing that don't go beyond a fictional summary of the character's biography. There are several paragraphs about her in in the chapter 'THE MOTHER-LODE: CORDELIA' but the work of JB Croft but they seem to be almost entirely a fictional character biography with little analysis, through granted, it's my subjective assessment (I invite others to access this source at [45]). Frankly, I read this entire chapter (less than one page, I think) twice, and I still have no idea what the author is saying much, nor can I even think of a single sentence we could add to our article using it as a reference (but again, I'd be happy to see if someone else could use it to expand this somewhow!). As far as I can see from sources I was able to access, this is the best, and I just don't think this is sufficient. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:30, 22 October 2019 (UTC) reply

I believe that WP:ANI discussion has already been done and my WP:PRODPATROLLING was found to be what PROD patrolling is supposed to be. Making threats and writing off others as fanboys presents a potential WP:BOOMERANG issue for you. From my perspective, you are the one who initiated all of this "spam" by eschewing WP:ATD and bringing them to PROD and now individually to AFC. ~ Kvng ( talk) 15:27, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I have to be on Piotrus's side for this one, as your DEPROD rationale made absolutely no sense. "Consider merge or redirect per WP:ATD". There are no sources in the article, so "merge" is already out of the question, per the extremely basic concept of WP:RS. The only plausible option in this scenario is improve the article (if possible) or boldly redirect it, and you did neither. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 20:29, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Yes, I did miss an opportunity to do bold redirects. Sorry about that. Piotrus missed two such opportunities. ~ Kvng ( talk) 14:04, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply
I was and am expecting another inclusionist from the WP:ITSIMPORTANT camp to simply revert any redirect. AfD at least give a 'stamp' that prevents sneaky undoing of redirects (I am not saying you do sneaky undo of redirects, but I have seen such outcome, i.e. sneaky undo of redirects by some other editors, before. As such, I feel that if a prod is contested with a bad rationale, redirects are just a waste of time without an AfD to back such outcome). -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:21, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Thanks for explaining your thinking. The few sneaky redirect reverts I've seen are most often in good faith. Although there is technically no such thing as a bad DEPROD rationale I appreciate that mass-DEPRODDING is potentially WP:DISRUPTIVE. Unless there's reasonable indicatition in the PROD rationale why this is not a good idea, I will continue to DEPROD or boldly redirect PRODs that have an obvious redirect opportunity. This includes things like songs on notable albums, albums by notable artists, books by notable authors and characters etc. in notable books. These tend to be potential search terms and, your concerns about sneaky reverts notwithstanding, redirects are WP:CHEAP. ~ Kvng ( talk) 15:12, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus. Well, it seems like the only actual notability guideline that applies here is WP:GNG, seeing as WP:NFICTION is an essay and a TV series being notable does not automatically imply that an object in the series is as well. While a bunch of keep arguments are too perfunctory to carry a lot of weight, it seems like there is enough disagreement on whether the presented sources establish notability that this has no consensus for deletion (although it's closer to a remove than to a retain - saying "remove" since some people are advocating redirects rather than deletion) exist in this discussion.

I've seen Piotrus's request that I as the closing admin review the presented sources as well but I don't think it's a good idea; it muddies the distinction between the admin who impartially determines what the consensus - if it exists - is and the admin that supervotes on the basis of their own opinion. Whether Piotrus nominated a number of other articles for deletion is not really relevant to the status of the article. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk, contributions) 16:58, 22 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Happily, the references cited above include exactly what you are asking for. For example, the reference in which they go into detail on how they constructed the model, or the reference in which they go into detail describing the appearance of the model when it was being sold and so-forth.

The closing admin will do well to review the refs themselves as to me a few sentences are very much the definition of mentions in passing. And the number of articles I nominated is irrelevant, I had a few easy days to work on some spam backlog and I nominated like two dozen of uncontroversial fancruft stuff like Sergyar that was negligible for prod, since it was declined by a certain editor who tends to decline all fiction-related stuff he sees in prod (and probably should be banned from deprodding articles...) so yeah, it has to end up here... -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:23, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete or Redirect - The sources brought up by FOARP have nothing to do with the actual ship and are related to the show itself or are just very tangential and crufty references. It proves nothing. The article about the ship fails GNG and the show articles explain what the Galactica is and what it does sufficiently. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 13:39, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Err... stuff "related to the show", at least in as much as it discusses how the ship was created, IS related to the ship. One of those references goes into detail about how Dykstra built it, another discusses it's appearance, size etc., another discusses the sales of models of the ship. "Crufty references" are not generally recognised as a WP:DELREASON. FOARP ( talk) 14:25, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep This is Articles for Deletion not a place to remake failed merge discussions. WP:NFICTION is just an essay, has failed as a guideline and so has no consensus or standing. There's plenty of coverage of the topic, as noted above, and so it passes WP:GNG. Applicable policies include WP:ATD; WP:BATTLEGROUND; WP:DELAFD; WP:NOTPAPER; WP:PRESERVE; WP:SK; &c.

  • Keep - The fictional spaceship Battlestar Galactica is notable culturally and the article gets about 100 page views a day which indicates there is public interest in the topic. Granted the fictional ship is not as culturally impactful as the Starship Enterprise, but there are three reasons why the article is notable culturally. First, The article on the BattleStar Galatica television series indicates: "The series garnered a wide range of critical acclaim both at the time of its run and in the years since, including a Peabody Award, the Television Critics Association's Program of the Year Award, a placement inside Time's 100 Best TV Shows of All-Time, and Emmy nominations for its writing, directing, costume design, visual effects, sound mixing, and sound editing, with Emmy wins for both visual effects and sound editing." So it was a very popular series and aclaimable by notable entities. Second, and pardon my frankness, although I personally don't think the series was good in terms of memorable characters, etc., it was probably the best the lame, baby boomers were producing at the time (Wikipedia's article on the baby boomers indicates, "When Generation X came along just after the boomers, they would be the first generation to enjoy a lesser quality of life than the generation preceding it"). So until the baby boomers pass away, the size of their generation and their penchant for nostalgia will continue to make the article culturally relevant and popular. Third, in terms of coverage of the topic in order to obtain Wikipedia's notabality standards, I agree with User: FOARP who said, "This is evidenced by significant coverage in reliable, independent source of the development of special effects model, its construction by special-effects artists, and its sale, the model kits that were sold for it, coverage of it in the career of John Dykstra, the Emmy that was awarded for the pilot episode etc. etc. etc." Knox490 ( talk) 18:32, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • WP:NOTINHERITED - Notability is not inherited. Because the show is notable does not mean ships on the show are notable. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 16:23, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect - The popularity of the show has nothing to do with on fictional element. The sources talking about models or the sale of props are trivial mentions at best. The special effects behind the ship would be fine to include if there's other real world context, but otherwise it belongs in the main article under an appropriate section detailing the general special effects process.

  • Keep The fictional spaceship Battlestar Galactica is notable. This is evidenced by WP:SIGCOV in WP:RSs Lightburst ( talk) 17:23, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to the show, unsure of whether to keep the history. The sources listed above either talk exclusively about the process of creating the models the show used or do not mention the ship itself. They would support an article on the special effects used in Battlestar Galactica (if such an article were deemed appropriate), but not on the titular ship. Rockphed ( talk) 19:52, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comment This source also contains substantial coverage of the development of the Galactica models for the television serieses, particularly how they were constructed, what their dimensions were, how much they cost to build, who built them, what kind of look they were trying to achieve (etc. etc. etc.). Note that this detail is nearly all from the smaller-font sections where the author of the book is editorialising (i.e., a secondary source), and not from the interview sections. Publisher is Tom Doherty Associates - a reputable publisher - so this is not self-published or whatever. FOARP ( talk) 07:39, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • You mentioned that above. I don't think it is enough about the ship to indicate notability. Do you have any sources that talk about the ship and its impact? A scholarly review of Battlestar Galactica that discusses the Galactica versus other fictional ships (say against the Starship Enterprise, or the Millennium Falcon, neither of which I am convinced are notable based on their current sources), especially if it goes into the symbolism of the Galactica being an enormous ship protecting a massive fleet versus the (relatively) tiny Millenium Falcon being part of a fleet or the (generally) solitary nature of the Enterprise? Even a review of the whole of either Battlestar Galactica that spent a paragraph or two discussing the ship would be a good source. I am sure that such a document should exist, and I regret to admit that I did not look hard enough for it. Rockphed ( talk) 13:31, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply

A better source would have at least a description of the ship, preferably with further commentary on its role in the show. Rockphed ( talk) 15:23, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Contrary to my instincts given the number of disruptive ARS-type keepist editors who have already commented, this topic clearly actually is notable and merits its own article. Best to keep it clear of fancruft by bros who enjoy the rebooted series and didn't even know until they checked Wikipedia that there was an earlier 1970s version, though... Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 07:53, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • @ Hijiri88:You do realize that this is about the ship itself, rather than the series. If so, then I would ask what your reasoning is that it deserves an article, because I would honestly like to know. It might convince me if it exists, because so far it doesn't seem to. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 20:35, 17 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Yes, I do. That's why I clarified that my view would probably be different if the article were about a fictional ship in some flavour-of-the-month show no one will remember in ten years. Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 00:29, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
That being said, per WP:ALLPLOT, I wouldn't be opposed to userfying it to, for example, User:Andrew Davidson/Battlestar Galactica (fictional spacecraft), and forcing such a user to put their money where their mouth is and turning this into the article I'm convinced it could be (and they are no doubt tendentiously arguing that it could be with no good faith sincerity or intention to do so). A redirect in the meantime would also be fine. Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 00:36, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - The article needs some cleanup but WP:BASIC notability is there. The RBK Group stated she frequently appears in media as an expert on Iran. She has worked for Russian Newsweek, has been published in GQ Russia and her book "Brides of Allah", about female suicide bombers, was published in nine countries. Her book "Beslan Dictionary", about the 2004 Beslan school massacre that killed 330 people, had a preface by a Nobel prize winner and was published in at least two countries. Her detention and release were covered worldwide by outlets such as the BBC, Al Jazeera, The Times of Israel, and Today Nigeria. Granted, much of what is out there now is related to her arrest, but the information presented by these stories help to bring out her accomplishments.

  1. Voting a Delete here is completely unjustified here as Note 1 of WP:NSONG states Note 1: Songs that do not rise to notability for an independent article should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song.
  2. You claim "Musicplus charts are not acclaimed" but refuse to provide any basis for your assertion. Music Plus Charts, has published its criteria which looks quite reasonable to me.

Why are you shocked that editors are asking for deletion but not shocked at the poor page 3 references you are bringing up? Most of the articles you have dumped here are reporting the release of the song. Such PR stunts are pulled by all films. Then there is second category of the articles that simple put words to what is seen in the music video. Then of course you have presented the masterpiece which claims the song to be most viewed of the YouTube song. Just like how vaguely these refs claim that the song "tops the chart", it goes hyperbolic in making the claim of being the most viewed song as well. User:Winged Blades of Godric rightly said that there is nothing to write about the song. What he meant was there is nothing "encyclopedic" to write about the song. For the sake of writing one may always stoop down the quality levels and also write about all the codes to apply to make this song your caller tune. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 16:14, 11 October 2019 (UTC) reply
ignoring the beating around the bush. Same Q as above. Please explain how you reached the conclusion that these articles e.g. [58] [59] [60] [61] from independent reliable sources are trivial ? -- DBig Xrayᗙ 16:19, 11 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Update I would invoke WP:HEYMANN now to keep the article. The article has now been completely Re-written by me and expanded 8 times of the size when it was nominated for deletion. Folks who believe that there isn't enough content to write the article have been proved wrong. I will continue my expansion and have plans to nominate this for DYK once the AfD is closed. I have added sources proving WP:GNG and added charts from India as evidence that this is indeed a notable song.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 10:56, 12 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Merge to the article about the film where it can be adequately explained and also provided better context. The main reason is that most sources mention the song either in the context of the film or they are short announcements of the release. What is missing is why this song is independently notable of the film soundtrack. I might follow up with a detailed justification later.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 20:14, 21 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per WP:HEY and WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. The article's text and sourcing has vastly improved since it was nominated. There seems to be enough text and coverage to warrant a separate article. If others disagree, I suggest they tag the page itself for merger and discuss on the article's talk page instead of having that conversation here at AFD. 4meter4 ( talk) 21:59, 22 October 2019 (UTC) reply

James Grime

AfDs for this article:
James Grime (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Essentially, James Grime is a very active self-promotion for-hire speaker with mathematics content. He is not a mathematics academic by any measure (no postdoctoral research), but a performer, a mathematics educator and entertainer

The sources are all promotional and non-independent. Many are WP:RS-failing. James Grime has written articles, but no one has written about him, not independently and in a reliable source. Some of the sources look like quality sources, but they are authored by himself.

Most of the content is personal trivia. So much is content based upon interviews, i.e. based upon himself talking about himself. SmokeyJoe ( talk) 01:31, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Note, I was the reviewer who passed the article for AfC, and also the requestor that the article be unsalted, so assess bias accordingly. As I see it, Grime is a professor at the very prestigious University of Cambridge [62], and passes WP:NPROF, specifically criteria 7. As noted in the last AfD, hes been a writer for the guardian [63], part of the Millennium Mathematics Project through which he tours an Enigma machine, and discovered a set of non-transitive dice. The last AfD was almost 6 years ago, Grime has been busy since then. Almost all of the sources have been published since then. Grime certainly passes WP:GNG as a popular mathematician, considering as well his viral contributions to Numberphile, and there is a strong case for NPROF 7.

    • Grime is a professor at the very prestigious University of Cambridge [64] Not true. Not Professor. H-index=2 means that he not recognized as a serious researcher. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 02:18, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    • passes WP:NPROF, specifically criteria 7. It says: "The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity". Do you have a single independent reliable source that says this?? -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 02:20, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    • hes been a writer for the guardian [65]. Writing articles for the guardian does not get you a Wikipedia article. Authorship does not create Wikipedia-notability, unless you are trying to meet WP:NAUTHOR. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 02:23, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    • Grime certainly passes WP:GNG ...? Can you point to two sources are are independent, reliable, and discuss James Grime? Possibly there are buried in the copious non-independent sources listed in the article, and returned by google. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 05:05, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Numberphile – basically per David Eppstein in the last AfD. Grime focuses on public engagement so is not likely to pass most WP:PROF criteria, but it's perfectly possible for him to be a notable populariser per WP:PROF#C7 or the WP:GNG. At first glance I assumed he would be—Numberphile certainly is notable—but on closer inspection the sourcing just isn't there. Most of the references in the article are to non-independent sources or passing mentions of Grime in popular articles about mathematics. I searched quite hard and couldn't find anything better. The closest is probably The Best Writing on Mathematics 2018, but we can't have a BLP hanging off a single, one-paragraph contributor bio in one book. But it's not a bad article. In the interests of preserving appropriate content we should redirect to the project he's most associated with ( Numberphile) and tag it with {{ R with possibilities}}. It can be revived should more independent sourcing emerge. –  Joe ( talk) 09:27, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    @ SmokeyJoe: I think your comments on Grime's career in the nomination are in poor taste. We're supposed to be assessing the merits of the sources, not the subject. Remember that Wikipedia is in the real world. –  Joe ( talk) 09:28, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
      • Did I come across as personally critical. Sorry. His Google Scholar shows that he obviously not a Mathematics Professor as someone (not James) says. James’s own pages explain that in completing his PhD he turned his interests to public speaking. It seems to reflect an honest interest, certainly not a lack of ability. He combines entertainment with education, which is admirable. All of the sources are “promotional”, by which we mean “not independent and linking to advertising to pay for his product”. He charges for his presentations, which is not a criticism of the person, everyone needs to earn money for their time, but Wikipedia is averse to building content on promotional sources. I’ve looked fairly hard, and I can find no independent commentary. He fails WP:PROF, and WP:PERFORMER, and the WP:GNG. I wish him well, but reliable others have not (yet) written about him. — SmokeyJoe ( talk) 10:01, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Quite a lot of people may have come across Grime when he has been giving a talk or they may have seen him on YouTube. They may be interested in knowing who the hell he is. By googling they'll either get highly promotional information or just detail about some particular thing he has done. For the sake of argument I'll assume everything in the article is verifiable – if not we can make it so. Also for the sake of argument I'll assume he fails all our notability guidelines (I haven't checked). But it is good to have an article about him and this article is worth reading. It helps readers and improves Wikipedia. If he fails our notability criteria it is because they are not perfect. Sometimes they give the wrong answer. They do not pretend to always give the right answer. They are there to guide us when we (as editors) try to represent the interests of readers. We should not blindly follow the notability guidelines when they fail us. (By the way a merge with Millennium Mathematics Project would be better than Numberphile but neither work too well.)

  • Delete - not easy working through the refs but in the end none of them make a robust case for notability. The whole thing reads like self promotion right down to the little advert for their own shop. Fails WP:GNG.   Velella   Velella Talk   10:58, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - A lot of people getting hung up on WP:NPROF above, but WP:BASIC is a much more easy test - which the subject fails according to my WP:BEFORE. I could not find any instances of WP:SIGCOV of the actual subject of the article, all I could find were one-or-two-sentence-long descriptions of him in articles about popular mathematics. FOARP ( talk) 11:31, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect with {{ R with possibilities}}–possibly with a semi-protect—per Joe. I'm a bit more lenient when it comes to reviewing AfCs than how I would personally argue at AfD – regardless of how I feel about the notability policy, I had an honest belief that such an article could survive an AfD, and would've accepted it (but would've tagged the article for cleanup) were it not for the salt, hence why I opened the DRV. Sceptre ( talk) 17:53, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    • I too am lenient with AfC, especially on academic related topics, like this, but when the reference list begins with non-independent unsuitable sources, it is a bad sign. I agree with Grime is close to the line, but he is below it. Uncomfortably, it may require two negative incidents for independent newspaper coverage that provide a distant perspective introduction for him to meet the GNG. However, if that happens, these sources will provide the anchoring perspective, and the article won’t begin with the subject’s childhood interests, etc. Wikipedia has many listed in Category:Science communicators; is it harder for mathematics communicators? —- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 20:42, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
      • Most contemporary popular mathematicians are in the Numberphile milieu these days. Mathematics doesn't really capture the imagination like astrophysics (NDGT) or futurism (Michio Kaku) do, either. The only mathematics communicators that aren't associated with Numberphile that I can think of on the top of my head are Vi Hart and Kevin Houston, and I only know of the latter because he lectures in the compulsory modules at my alma mater. Sceptre ( talk) 21:52, 15 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect for now, without deleting the page history. I expected to vote for Keep, being familiar with Grime as a Numberphile presenter, but am persuaded by the above that Wikipedia's notability threshold is not passed yet. – Fayenatic London 22:34, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. No pass of WP:Prof#C1. Still not enough sources to pas GNG for promotional activities. Xxanthippe ( talk) 09:13, 17 October 2019 (UTC). reply
  • Delete, no redirect. I'm surprised not to find more about him. But searching for sources that were not mere talk announcements, and did not merely namedrop him in the context of Numberphile, I found only a piece from his undergraduate university saying he won honours and was going on to a doctoral programme, and a story from a university he had visited about his visit. I don't think that's enough to demonstrate independent notability. As for why no redirect: he's only mentioned on our Numberphile article as one of some 30 people who had sometimes been interviewed on Numberphile, rather than as having any central role in the channel's creation. — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:13, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete with a note that it may just be WP:TOOSOON. The most substantial recognition seems to be his inclusion in the 2018 Best Writing on Mathematics collection. There just doesn't seem to be enough to base an article upon. XOR'easter ( talk) 04:11, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep He is more notable, as far as the general public is concerned, than most academics. MathPerson ( talk) 01:55, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Thought I had !voted here. Looking on WP:GNG alone, I don't see any independent coverage of him, and some of the articles don't mention him at all. Almost all of it is self-generated content or social media-generated content. I don't see how WP:NPROF is met, so fails both the notability guideline and the academics guideline at this time, possibly also WP:PROMO. Please don't redirect, either - not closely associated enough with the proposed target. SportingFlyer T· C 09:45, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply

There is no need for subsidiary fancruft articles for this sort of thing. The sourcing for this list is entirely primary (Episodes), with two other links to the official website, i.e. there is no reliable secondary sourcing at all, so there really isn't anything much that can be merged.
