Keep Margaret has been shortened to lots of things over the years, including Meg, and different usages ni different places. Definitely deserves a listing. There was also an entry that hadn't been added, which I have now done, so it is 3 Megs, and a Megan and Margaret in the see also. 3 valid entries plus 2 valid see alsos is enough to meet the guidelnies - and dabs are cheap.

The subject does not appear to meet
WP:GNG. To try to inform a requested move discussion, I've been trying to find reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. There don't appear to be any that provide significant coverage beyond a mere trivial mention. Other than blogs, web forums and stand-alone images, she is only mentioned a few times in society pages or listed in genealogical directories. These do not clearly demonstrate 'significant coverage'.

Badly sourced BLP with a claim to meeting
WP:NFOOTBALL but nothing to support this claim.
Playmaker Stats,
BeSoccer,
WF,
Tribuna,
Soccerpunter and
Football Database all have an entry for him but there are no appearances listed at all, with the exception of BeSoccer, which has an U17 Cyprus appearance, which does not confer notability to the subject.
Searches in Greek on

this Anorthosis blog (translated), which has a couple of sentences about him playing in a pre-season friendly.
Even if this guy does somehow pass NFOOTBALL, his notability is still highly questionable and there is a growing consensus that

A superficial literature review also shows that her poems have been widely taught, making them notable per
WP:NBOOK#4. Additionally, her poems were translated into English and Spanish (maybe more) and famously set to music by
Ivor R. Davies, which certainly suggests notability as an artist. It appears that Prayers from the Ark is her most notable work, so I wouldn't object to moving the article to that title, but it's unnecessary.

The most significant of the remaining cited coverage is a single paragraph in the Bangla Tribune. The Department of Films & Publications, Rokomari.com, and BoiBazar.com are directory-type listings. Banglanews24.com, Daily Naya Diganta, and Shomoyer Alo are editorials (the last two identical) that briefly mention the magazine in a list of magazines. It hasn't won any awards, has a sixteen year history during which no one seems to have written much about it, has not been shown to be regularly cited by reliable sources, and as an Islamic magazine in an overwhelmingly Islamic country, can hardly be said to be representing an undeserved niche market.

Delete. This article has two sources, one of which is a newspaper article about arguments on Twitter, and the other of which is a meme posted on Reddit. If there is a topic here worthy of encyclopedic coverage, there ought to be much better sourcing and clearer writing for the benefit of readers outside India who are unfamiliar with the underlying controversy. --

Keep – I've found some sources: see
[13][14][15][16][17][18]. While none of them are too substantial individually, they can probably be combined per
WP:BASIC to amount to sufficient coverage. Additionally, I don't doubt that more sourcing is out there: the many variants of his name make searching difficult, and offline sources likely contain far more information. (Nineteenth-century Mughal royalty is precisely the sort of topic to which
WP:NEXIST should be applied.) But what we already have is sufficient to at least see the outlines of a man who played a noteworthy role in the demise of the Mughal Empire and the rise of English influence over the Indian subcontinent.

Comment. All of the sources above at most repeat (sometimes verbatim) the same paragraph-long anecdote about his European affectations and nothing more. If that is all the info we can find on him wouldn't it be better to put it in his father's or another article? The combined coverage exception in BASIC assumes multiple sources are providing different information that can be added up to SIGCOV, but here you could use only the Twilight of the Mughuls ref and lose zero coverage.

The claims of this article are patently false. There were people born after Brunnegger who served in the German military in World War II, and near the end of World War II there were people being recruited at a younger age than Brunnegger was when the war began. Just to throw out on person I know of who disproves any claim in this article
F. Enzio Busche was in the German Army during World War II, starting at age 14, and was 7 years younger than Brunnegger. I suspect there were people younger than Busche in the Germany military of World War II. We should not have articles built around a patently false claim.

pburka (

Merge to an appropriate article (e.g.
Port Washington Branch) per
WP:NBUILD and
WP:NOTNEWS. The bridge is not architecturally notable per WP:NBUILD and it's not even a bridge, just an overpass over the Port Washington Branch. Its main claim to fame is that it is being replaced right now. In the "Description" section, the main reference used is a wiki (bridgehunter.com) and the only sources in that section that aren't bridgehunter are used to describe the location of the overpass. That is not enough to demonstrate its notability, as it is very easy to find sources that demonstrate where something is located. The first part of the history section doesn't really give me confidence either as numerous overpasses were built across this line around the same time.
Source 6 doesn't mention the overpass at all, only that the line opened, and sources
5 and
7 are primarily about the current bridge rehabilitation.That said, the main issue why this bridge appears notable is because of the damage identified in 1979 and the subsequent repairs in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. However, per WP:NOTNEWS, this could adequately be described in another page, like the Port Washington Branch page. Merely needing repairs and spanning a railroad line does not make a bridge unique per
WP:MILL. Looking through newspapers.com and ProQuest, most of the search results seem to discuss either repairs, crashes, or traffic reports, which doesn't give me confidence in the subject's notability

Ok ignore my incorrect statement - could someone address the main part of my question? Particularly concerning the topic and not the article as it stands.
Mosthistories of the
Serbian people seem to go through the various states that have included Serbs or been a Serbian nation-state. If the article was cleaned up, POV removed, reliable sources included, put in line with
History of the Serbs etc, how is it any less notable than the above cited articles? I'm just trying to see what the base level of notability is seeing as there are quite a few articles in this format.
Herearesomemore. To lay my bias on the table: I think 95% of current list articles should be deleted (including most of the ones I cited earlier).
Vladimir.copic (

Keep accepting that the POV issues need to be fixed and the article better sourced. Rightly or wrongly there are many list articles like this on Wikipedia. A quick look by me produced 23 similar articles all with corresponding pages or sections on the history of those people or nation (see below table). This makes the idea that this article just being a content fork a little hard to swallow. While I think all of these articles are fairly useless, if this is a convention on WP I see no reason why an article on the Serbs should be excluded. This probably just needs
WP:CLEANUP unless a larger decision is made on the future of similar pages.

Nevertheless, the street-name is someone else:

We also need to be careful that we don't delete the article on this chap merely because his son went into the same business, and has put a biography of his dad on his studio's website.

4meter4 the AutoBild Klassik article from Curbon7 contains a huge amount of biographical detail and discussion of the importance of his work, at least in respect of the petrol/motoring illustrations. If it's classed as independent and reliable, then it could support most of the article. I can read German and I'm happy to go through screening the article to remove anything not supported. But as I say, it'd be great if there were a second source as I'm not greatly comfortable with single-source articles. I just feel it would be a pity to lose all trace of this chap and his work, when it clearly was influential.

@
Elemimele: nice work on decoding the street name. Regarding his work being influential, I am not sure of that. There does seem to be a family-driven campaign to say it is influential, both through the first source (Atelier Klaus Bergner/Aatelier-bergner.de) and the author of the German wiki article (Jbergner). I don't think it is a coincidence that the AutoBild Klassik article quotes his son directly, and is also used in this article ("Some years later his son, Klaus Bergner, shared the opinion that his father probably owed his survival in the prison camp to that talent: "My father probably survived [because] ... he painted the apartments of the Russian officers and, from time to time, produced the odd painting"). It's pretty obviously mostly a family effort to memorialize the father. The painting included in the de and en articles was also
uploaded by Jbergner. I do not see a source for personal details like the birth/date of death. There is a lot more evidence here that this is a family memorial page than there is of independent recognition. I'm taking the sourcing with a large grain of salt... ---
Possibly☎ 16:51, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
I think you're right that a lot of information has come from the son's recollections of his father, but not all of it; Sylvia Lott, the journalist who wrote the AutoBild article, had clearly also interviewed his old collaborator, the advertising manager at Gasolin, whom she also quotes. I think we have to distinguish what his son says directly (for example on the website of the current business) from what an independent journalist reports his son as having said. She is allowed to use sources we cannot, and her screening of their information makes them allowable for us. I also think it's inevitable that a lot of information will come from memories of family and friends. So far as his birth and early life is concerned, we've got to consider the context of post-war Germany: life was incredibly chaotic, records patchy, and half the infrastructure bombed. Human memories may be all we have, and we must trust journalists to make of them what they believe. I've put a translation of part of the article, and a summary of the rest, here
[24]. I hope it's okay to do this. I'm conscious that the article is copyright, so we can't just put translations willy-nilly on WP. This is purely to help editors assess whether the information is appropriate as a source, and I'll have to request its deletion as soon as this AfD is sorted out. If Bruno Bergner survives deletion, I am, as above, happy to edit to remove information that can't be found screened via Lott and any other sources anyone can find. As regards his significance: my feeling is that if you are the pen behind a massive advertising campaign over more than a decade, whose work would have been familiar to every household in a major country, then you're probably notable. It's like being the person who made up the image of Super Mario, or the cocoa-pops characters; it might be that no one actually knows who you are, but because your creation is so widely known, it's legitimate for an encyclopaedia to take an interest in your existence. We're here to answer those people who ask, one day, "I wonder who it was, who made that thing that I see every day..." (on which, I'm not totally against merging, if there's somewhere to merge to)
Elemimele (
talk) 18:46, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
It's way too convenient that the son gets interviewed in the article about the father's painting, and another relative uploads images of Bergner's paintings. It's obviously a family memorial. The same Citroen image that appears in the AutoBild article was uploaded to Commons by Jbergner. Finally, if he is a famous graphic designer, why don't we see more examples of his graphic designs when doing an image search? All I see in an image search is material that his family uploaded. Which means that while he may have done widely distributed designs, he wasn't recognized for it. ---

Also it might be that no one actually knows who you are, but because your creation is so widely known, it's legitimate for an encyclopaedia to take an interest in your existence.... no, this is fundamentally incorrect. If no one actually knows who you are, you do not get an article. That would be using Wikipedia to create the memorial. We do have an article on Super Mario creator
Yōichi Kotabe, because he is well known and has been widely and independently written about. ---
Possibly☎ 19:51, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
I think you're maybe finding coincidences that perhaps aren't really there. The German Wikipedia article, undoubtedly written by a CoI relative, appeared in 2006, while the AutoBild article appeared in 2011, and Bergner died in 1995, so it's not like this is a flurry of memorialisation by the family following his death.
Auto Bild isn't the sort of news outlet where you phone one day and ask them to produce an article on your dad. Our own WP describes it as a leading German automobile magazine. And if they chose to write an article about Bergner, it would be decidedly odd if they hadn't sent a journalist to talk to his family. I regard the fact that a leading independent German automobile magazine chose to write two pages on him 16 years after his death as evidence that he is of some notability in at least the German automobile community (a significant sized group). As regards the images, yes, there is one image in common between the German WP article and AutoBild, but the AutoBild article also contains quite a few other images from his work. Thinking from the perspective of Auto Bild, they just wanted some attractive images that their readers might remember with nostalgia; the less effort the better. Much of his work must be under copyright, and probably a copyright whose current ownership is very unclear (it would have been property of Gasolin, passed on to Aral, and goodness only knows where since). I can well imagine they'd use images provided by the family, purely because they're the easiest source. The relevant fact, again, isn't that the image came from family, it's that an independent secondary source thought the image was worth publishing.

I can't, however, find anything apart from Sylvia Lott's article, and a lot of his leaflets on e-bay (I'm discounting all WP and atelier Bergner sources, obviously), and that bothers me. If we had a second source, I'd happily go for the full keep, but the fact we've only got one is why I was originally a weak-keep. I'm fighting his corner, but I don't have a personal axe to grind on this.
Elemimele (

Signing of on this, but I will add that I have edited and created way more than 1000 articles on artists. There's very little evidence of notability here. No museum collections, no published images outside those sourced by family, no entries in dictionaries of artists, no exhibitions of his graphic work, no awards by learned artistic societies. If you cannot read about the person in more than one source, can't see their work in museums, can't find independently published copies of their work online, well, they're not notable. ---
Possibly☎ 21:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
In view of @Possibly's totally reasonable argument, I'm quite prepared to re-think my original weak keep. As a matter of information, I've started a draft on the petrol-station chain for whom Bergner created his advertising work (Gasolin AG), translating the German WP page
[25] (my incomplete draft is at
[26]). Since it's Bergner's advertising work that's most memorable, and the Gasolin AG petrol concern was enormous (and far more notable) I think it's reasonable for me to merge a little of Bergner's information into the draft, which to my mind clears the way for deletion of
Bruno Bergner from English WP if that's the outcome of this AfD (unless miraculously someone finds more solid sources for him). Meanwhile, minor point: the links in the Bergner article to NITAG are linking to an article on a completely different subject.

If Elemimele is looking for a second source, that would seem to be one, but I can't access the book (which is not obviously written by a family member), and without seeing the book I'm also reluctant to do more than make that comment.

Keep. Firstly, the top-level leagues, such as the NHL in hockey, are such an important level of play that it's incredibly important for us to be as complete and thorough as possible a reference for everybody who was ever there at all. Just merging some players into lists doesn't cut it —
List of Boston Bruins players does not offer anywhere to document his birthplace, his birth and death dates or his OHA record. That's precisely why the notability criteria for sportspeople have the "one game in the top leagues = notable" rule in the first place — because it's incredibly important that we have as complete as feasibly possible a record of every single person who ever played for the Boston Bruins at all, rather than picking and choosing and leaving some Bruins in the dust. Does it need better sources, yes — but on that point, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that the article also has a redirect to it from the spelling "Fred Bourdginon", which actually has more mainspace links travelling through it than are actually linking directly to the "Bergdinon" spelling — and even "Bourdginon" is a spelling error what I or anybody else with French Canadian ancestry can guarantee was actually on his birth certificate, Bourgdinon. So if you're having trouble finding sources, try the Bourdginon and Bourgdinon spellings as well. (Which I don't think anybody did, because the only thing anybody mentioned above is having tried a couple of variations on his first name.)

WP:NTENNIS says notability comes from competing "in one of the highest-level professional tournaments", with the US Open mentioned as an example. But in 1942 the US Open was an amateur tournament; it did not admit professionals until 1968. See

Keep - contributors here should take note of the nomination, which asserts that the subject is not
notable. I disagree in this instance, but statements that support deletion on the basis that this is a "non-notable, promotional article" are unlikely to be taken seriously. For one, articles need not be notable, but they should be about a notable subject. It might sound like an academic distinction but
WP:BEFORE is very clear; there are steps A, B, and C before nomination for deletion at D. The question here is whether the subject is notable, not whether or not the article does a good or bad job of presenting the subject. Because bad writing is fixable. Second, the article being promotional (in an encyclopedia that aims not to promote things) is an example of bad writing. And again, bad writing is fixable. What I don't see is any kind of argument as to why the sources outlined above don't establish notability... so unless someone wants to contribute more than flippant non-policy opinion, there hasn't been a single substantive argument for deletion yet.

This doesn't absolve him from being covered in secondary, independent sources. If there's nothing in secondary sources, well, then, I beg to differ,
WP:NPROF is irrelevant, since there's no justification for basing an article entirely on primary sources, no matter how "well-cited" some of the subject's papers might be. That's also what the criteria says, "The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." No independent reliable sources = no article. As simple as that.

The citation record (that is, the body of citing papers) comprises thousands of independent reliable sources for
WP:NPROF.
Russ Woodroofe (
talk) 17:25, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
A scholar having their works cited by peers in their discipline is run of the mill. The vast majority of citations are not
WP:SIGCOV of the author of the paper in question. If there are no independent sources to provide encyclopedic coverage about the article subject (such as biographic details and the like), then that's all very nice, but the article fails
WP:V and probably
WP:NOR due to being based solely on primary, self-published sources for its content.
RandomCanadian (
talk /
contribs) 18:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
A scholar having citations at this level may not be run of the mill.
WP:NPROF is independent of GNG, and explicitly states that it is an alternative. I agree that the article is undersourced and overly based on primary sources, but
WP:DINC.
Russ Woodroofe (
talk) 18:58, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
DINC, yes, but it's not that I didn't try, I just couldn't find non-primary sources, so while NPROF might be independent of GNG ([insert rant about SNGs, and in particular ones like this one which seemingly allow articles written solely on primary sources]), so this would still fail core policies regarding sourcing, and given it's a
WP:BLP, we should be more strict about sourcing than just allowing self-published sources.
RandomCanadian (
talk /
contribs) 19:35, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
NPROF was written explicitly to allow articles on important academics who wouldn't otherwise have the SIGCOV in IRS necessary for GNG. In my opinion the criteria are too permissive (most editors' perceptions of what a "high" citation profile is in any given field are several standard deviations below the actual median, so low-impact scholars slip through all the time), but that's just what we have to work with until more people agitate for change.

Weak keep. While the subject is highly cited, on most of the highly-cited work he is middle author on a highly coauthored paper (in a field where order matters). I see several papers with high citations on which he is first/last author, however; and the higher-cited middle author papers do not detract.
Russ Woodroofe (

Run-of-the-mill beauty contestant. This article was moved into draft space by
User:Onel5969, and was then moved back into article space, so a second move to draft space would be
move warring .
This article does not
speak for itself and does not explain why the subject satisfies either the
general notability guideline or any other notability guideline. The only
credible claims of significance are finishing second in a beauty contest, and a controversy over vote-rigging in the beauty contest. The latter seems to be
a living person known for one event, which can be covered in an article on the beauty contest, if the beauty contest is itself notable.
The article has been
reference-bombed, and it should not be necessary to go through the sources to check on notability. However, reading the references shows that they are mostly about the 2019 beauty contest controversy.

This article is really about the beauty contest controversy. Either there should be an article about the beauty contest and the controversy, or there shouldn't; but the subject is clearly
noted for one event. It appears that she or her flack are trying to use Wikipedia to advance her career by publicizing the controversy. The three conditions of
BLP1E are all met. Either cover the controversy as a controversy, or don't cover it.

Comment The sources posted above are about the rewards program and not the company itself. And as stated above these are advertorials and they are not too well disguised as articles. They also are testimonial type advertising. There is nothing wrong with that except these are not useful as determinants for notability on Wikipedia. And Wikipedia is not a
platform for promotion. Merge is possible. And, there is not much about Swagbucks in the article as far as I can tell. I think the first reference should not be merged. So for now I agree with Merge but not Keep unless someone can make a good argument against merging. ---

Move to draft. There are hints towards potential avenues of notability - a substantial list of publications and teaching at high-level institutions - but a Google Scholar search does not indicate that the subject is well-cited. I would provide an opportunity for improvement, but delete if it is not substantially forthcoming.

Keep. Registrar of the International Court of Justice would appear to be a notable enough role. Combined with his publications and academic positions, I think it's enough to cross the notability threshhold. --

Keep. Registrar of the International Court of Justice seems important enough to be listed in the WP article and on the court

Registrar (law) is an important position that is not purely administrative. Remove promotional material and we should be good. --

There's simply nothing I can find of this that isn't from A) its inventor/people closely associated with him (so not independent sources), or B) other pseudoscientific alternative medicine promoters (which are not, therefore, reliable sources). I can't find anything about any of the two main names (Hashimoto and Hayashi) cited, either. The few google hits I get seem to be mostly sales website of the books [along with an unrelated Japanese sociologist], while for the second they are entirely unrelated. There doesn't appear to be any potentially valid target where this could be redirected. Therefore, suggest delete.

Playmaker Stats,
BeSoccer,

this Anorthosis blog (translated), which has a couple of sentences about him playing in a pre-season friendly.

A superficial literature review also shows that her poems have been widely taught, making them notable per
WP:NBOOK#4. Additionally, her poems were translated into English and Spanish (maybe more) and famously set to music by

The magazine is not the main topic of the thesis but is briefly mentioned. Bangla Tribune's critical commentary on publication by religious institutes does not call it the most but widely circulated monthly magazine and that is a key difference. The magazine is not the main topic of this opinion piece and does not help its notability. The Banglanews24.com report, written by a guest writer, lists all magazines published by "Qwami scholars".

As evidenced by significant coverage in ...? Magazines have to meet the
general notability guideline. They are commonly expected to meet criteria in
WP:NMEDIA or
WP:NMAG. The thesis handle is not working for me at the moment, but the OP says it mentions the magazine only briefly. The most significant of the remaining cited coverage is a single paragraph in the Bangla Tribune. The Department of Films & Publications, Rokomari.com, and BoiBazar.com are directory-type listings. Banglanews24.com, Daily Naya Diganta, and Shomoyer Alo are editorials (the last two identical) that briefly mention the magazine in a list of magazines. It hasn't won any awards, has a sixteen year history during which no one seems to have written much about it, has not been shown to be regularly cited by reliable sources, and as an Islamic magazine in an overwhelmingly Islamic country, can hardly be said to be representing an undeserved niche market. What is the evidence of notability? --

Delete the article is written by the subject himself so I’m going to presume he’s given it his best shot and what we have here is the best sources available. Of the six sources, the first three are deadlinks, the fourth a review on Booklist (not sure how useful that is for notability), the fifth is a Kirkus review, and the sixth confirms the subject is on the staff of the NAR. There are some unsourced claims of prize wins and I just deleted an entire section of unsourced material. For a career spanning nearly forty years this is very scant and does not indicate to me that the subject is notable.

Keep, against deletion. Clearly meets criteria. "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." The position she has is described as the most powerful non-elected office in New York. Massive press coverage. "Secretary to the governor" is NOT a low-level secretarial job, and we shouldn't mix it up with this (which may have happened?). Her job has been described as overseeing the daily government operations for the State on New York. And, she meets
WP:General Notability Guidelines: significant coverage, reliable sources, the author is independent on the subject and "significant coverage
in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article." She has been described as the "spearhead" of the Cuomo sex scandal coverup.

UNTIL she resigned, Derosa was among the highest paid and most influential appointees in NY’s executive branch. She resigned abruptly about a week ago after the New York Attorney General’s investigative report revealed that she was the center of a political and sexual harassment scandal involving Governor Cuomo. The editor that suggested deletion needs to know that in American federal and state government offices, just as with the secretary of state of the United States, Derosa was not a ‘secretary’ in the sense of somebody who types dictation.
she is at the center of a major scandal that resulted in the governor of the fourth largest state in the United States resigning under a cloud and under threat of first impeachment of a NY governor in over 100 years.

F. Enzio Busche was in the German Army during World War II, starting at age 14, and was 7 years younger than Brunnegger. I suspect there were people younger than Busche in the Germany military of World War II. We should not have articles built around a patently false claim.

Merge to an appropriate article (e.g.
Port Washington Branch) per
WP:NBUILD and
WP:NOTNEWS. The bridge is not architecturally notable per WP:NBUILD and it's not even a bridge, just an overpass over the Port Washington Branch. Its main claim to fame is that it is being replaced right now. In the "Description" section, the main reference used is a wiki (bridgehunter.com) and the only sources in that section that aren't bridgehunter are used to describe the location of the overpass. That is not enough to demonstrate its notability, as it is very easy to find sources that demonstrate where something is located. The first part of the history section doesn't really give me confidence either as numerous overpasses were built across this line around the same time.
Source 6 doesn't mention the overpass at all, only that the line opened, and sources
5 and
7 are primarily about the current bridge rehabilitation.That said, the main issue why this bridge appears notable is because of the damage identified in 1979 and the subsequent repairs in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. However, per WP:NOTNEWS, this could adequately be described in another page, like the Port Washington Branch page. Merely needing repairs and spanning a railroad line does not make a bridge unique per
WP:MILL. Looking through newspapers.com and ProQuest, most of the search results seem to discuss either repairs, crashes, or traffic reports, which doesn't give me confidence in the subject's notability

Keep accepting that the POV issues need to be fixed and the article better sourced. Rightly or wrongly there are many list articles like this on Wikipedia. A quick look by me produced 23 similar articles all with corresponding pages or sections on the history of those people or nation (see below table). This makes the idea that this article just being a content fork a little hard to swallow. While I think all of these articles are fairly useless, if this is a convention on WP I see no reason why an article on the Serbs should be excluded. This probably just needs

Weak Keep, The AutoBild Klassik article that @Curbon7 located is a solid account dedicated to Bergner and describing his impact on German society, and he clearly made a society-wide mark. It would be nice if we could find another similar source, but we have to remember that one source a few decades ago is worth about five nowadays, where someone only needs to sneeze, and (if they have a publicist), there will be 5 articles on it the next day. Nevertheless, the street-name is someone else:
[23] (article describes a political activist killed in a concentration camp in 1942 and commemorated by the street name in the town of his birth, and probably also worthy of an article). We also need to be careful that we don't delete the article on this chap merely because his son went into the same business, and has put a biography of his dad on his studio's website. It's natural that he should do so, and says nothing about his father's notability - positive or negative.

4meter4 the AutoBild Klassik article from Curbon7 contains a huge amount of biographical detail and discussion of the importance of his work, at least in respect of the petrol/motoring illustrations. If it's classed as independent and reliable, then it could support most of the article. I can read German and I'm happy to go through screening the article to remove anything not supported. But as I say, it'd be great if there were a second source as I'm not greatly comfortable with single-source articles. I just feel it would be a pity to lose all trace of this chap and his work, when it clearly was influential.

@
Elemimele: nice work on decoding the street name. Regarding his work being influential, I am not sure of that. There does seem to be a family-driven campaign to say it is influential, both through the first source (Atelier Klaus Bergner/Aatelier-bergner.de) and the author of the German wiki article (Jbergner). I don't think it is a coincidence that the AutoBild Klassik article quotes his son directly, and is also used in this article ("Some years later his son, Klaus Bergner, shared the opinion that his father probably owed his survival in the prison camp to that talent: "My father probably survived [because] ... he painted the apartments of the Russian officers and, from time to time, produced the odd painting"). It's pretty obviously mostly a family effort to memorialize the father. The painting included in the de and en articles was also
uploaded by Jbergner. I do not see a source for personal details like the birth/date of death. There is a lot more evidence here that this is a family memorial page than there is of independent recognition. I'm taking the sourcing with a large grain of salt... ---
Possibly☎ 16:51, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
I think you're right that a lot of information has come from the son's recollections of his father, but not all of it; Sylvia Lott, the journalist who wrote the AutoBild article, had clearly also interviewed his old collaborator, the advertising manager at Gasolin, whom she also quotes. I think we have to distinguish what his son says directly (for example on the website of the current business) from what an independent journalist reports his son as having said. She is allowed to use sources we cannot, and her screening of their information makes them allowable for us. I also think it's inevitable that a lot of information will come from memories of family and friends. So far as his birth and early life is concerned, we've got to consider the context of post-war Germany: life was incredibly chaotic, records patchy, and half the infrastructure bombed. Human memories may be all we have, and we must trust journalists to make of them what they believe. I've put a translation of part of the article, and a summary of the rest, here
[24]. I hope it's okay to do this. I'm conscious that the article is copyright, so we can't just put translations willy-nilly on WP. This is purely to help editors assess whether the information is appropriate as a source, and I'll have to request its deletion as soon as this AfD is sorted out. If Bruno Bergner survives deletion, I am, as above, happy to edit to remove information that can't be found screened via Lott and any other sources anyone can find. As regards his significance: my feeling is that if you are the pen behind a massive advertising campaign over more than a decade, whose work would have been familiar to every household in a major country, then you're probably notable. It's like being the person who made up the image of Super Mario, or the cocoa-pops characters; it might be that no one actually knows who you are, but because your creation is so widely known, it's legitimate for an encyclopaedia to take an interest in your existence. We're here to answer those people who ask, one day, "I wonder who it was, who made that thing that I see every day..." (on which, I'm not totally against merging, if there's somewhere to merge to)
Elemimele (
talk) 18:46, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
It's way too convenient that the son gets interviewed in the article about the father's painting, and another relative uploads images of Bergner's paintings. It's obviously a family memorial. The same Citroen image that appears in the AutoBild article was uploaded to Commons by Jbergner. Finally, if he is a famous graphic designer, why don't we see more examples of his graphic designs when doing an image search? All I see in an image search is material that his family uploaded. Which means that while he may have done widely distributed designs, he wasn't recognized for it. ---

Yōichi Kotabe, because he is well known and has been widely and independently written about. ---
Possibly☎ 19:51, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
I think you're maybe finding coincidences that perhaps aren't really there. The German Wikipedia article, undoubtedly written by a CoI relative, appeared in 2006, while the AutoBild article appeared in 2011, and Bergner died in 1995, so it's not like this is a flurry of memorialisation by the family following his death.
Auto Bild isn't the sort of news outlet where you phone one day and ask them to produce an article on your dad. Our own WP describes it as a leading German automobile magazine. And if they chose to write an article about Bergner, it would be decidedly odd if they hadn't sent a journalist to talk to his family. I regard the fact that a leading independent German automobile magazine chose to write two pages on him 16 years after his death as evidence that he is of some notability in at least the German automobile community (a significant sized group). As regards the images, yes, there is one image in common between the German WP article and AutoBild, but the AutoBild article also contains quite a few other images from his work. Thinking from the perspective of Auto Bild, they just wanted some attractive images that their readers might remember with nostalgia; the less effort the better. Much of his work must be under copyright, and probably a copyright whose current ownership is very unclear (it would have been property of Gasolin, passed on to Aral, and goodness only knows where since). I can well imagine they'd use images provided by the family, purely because they're the easiest source. The relevant fact, again, isn't that the image came from family, it's that an independent secondary source thought the image was worth publishing.

I can't, however, find anything apart from Sylvia Lott's article, and a lot of his leaflets on e-bay (I'm discounting all WP and atelier Bergner sources, obviously), and that bothers me. If we had a second source, I'd happily go for the full keep, but the fact we've only got one is why I was originally a weak-keep. I'm fighting his corner, but I don't have a personal axe to grind on this.

Signing of on this, but I will add that I have edited and created way more than 1000 articles on artists. There's very little evidence of notability here. No museum collections, no published images outside those sourced by family, no entries in dictionaries of artists, no exhibitions of his graphic work, no awards by learned artistic societies. If you cannot read about the person in more than one source, can't see their work in museums, can't find independently published copies of their work online, well, they're not notable. ---
Possibly☎ 21:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
In view of @Possibly's totally reasonable argument, I'm quite prepared to re-think my original weak keep. As a matter of information, I've started a draft on the petrol-station chain for whom Bergner created his advertising work (Gasolin AG), translating the German WP page
[25] (my incomplete draft is at
[26]). Since it's Bergner's advertising work that's most memorable, and the Gasolin AG petrol concern was enormous (and far more notable) I think it's reasonable for me to merge a little of Bergner's information into the draft, which to my mind clears the way for deletion of
Bruno Bergner from English WP if that's the outcome of this AfD (unless miraculously someone finds more solid sources for him). Meanwhile, minor point: the links in the Bergner article to NITAG are linking to an article on a completely different subject.

Keep. Firstly, the top-level leagues, such as the NHL in hockey, are such an important level of play that it's incredibly important for us to be as complete and thorough as possible a reference for everybody who was ever there at all. Just merging some players into lists doesn't cut it —
List of Boston Bruins players does not offer anywhere to document his birthplace, his birth and death dates or his OHA record. That's precisely why the notability criteria for sportspeople have the "one game in the top leagues = notable" rule in the first place — because it's incredibly important that we have as complete as feasibly possible a record of every single person who ever played for the Boston Bruins at all, rather than picking and choosing and leaving some Bruins in the dust. Does it need better sources, yes — but on that point, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that the article also has a redirect to it from the spelling "Fred Bourdginon", which actually has more mainspace links travelling through it than are actually linking directly to the "Bergdinon" spelling — and even "Bourdginon" is a spelling error what I or anybody else with French Canadian ancestry can guarantee was actually on his birth certificate, Bourgdinon. So if you're having trouble finding sources, try the Bourdginon and Bourgdinon spellings as well. (Which I don't think anybody did, because the only thing anybody mentioned above is having tried a couple of variations on his first name.)

Could not find any sources, only places I could purchase the book from as well as answers to the question itself. I believe there may be reliable sources out there but I did not come across any, which is why I would rather discuss this first. However, it appears to just genuinely be a non-notable book which fails
WP:GNG.

Keep - contributors here should take note of the nomination, which asserts that the subject is not
notable. I disagree in this instance, but statements that support deletion on the basis that this is a "non-notable, promotional article" are unlikely to be taken seriously. For one, articles need not be notable, but they should be about a notable subject. It might sound like an academic distinction but
WP:BEFORE is very clear; there are steps A, B, and C before nomination for deletion at D. The question here is whether the subject is notable, not whether or not the article does a good or bad job of presenting the subject. Because bad writing is fixable. Second, the article being promotional (in an encyclopedia that aims not to promote things) is an example of bad writing. And again, bad writing is fixable. What I don't see is any kind of argument as to why the sources outlined above don't establish notability... so unless someone wants to contribute more than flippant non-policy opinion, there hasn't been a single substantive argument for deletion yet.

Not really sure how this works, but as there are many actors who are not "notable" but still busy in the filmmaking world, i hardly think singling out this article for deletion is appropriate.

After trimming of the overly promotional content, there's not much left that isn't based on sources published by the subject or closely affiliated ones. A search doesn't reveal much further (social media sites, one interview, publications/patents/...). Fails
WP:GNG. If the
HHV-6 Foundation was notable enough, this could maybe be redirected there. Since that is not the case, there's a clear case for deletion.

Keep. Passes
WP:Prof#C1 as-coauthor of 19 papers with over 100 cites each, albeit in a highly cited field. I cannot understand why the nominator expected to find anything about a biomedical researcher on social media sites. If he had, would this have improved notability?
Xxanthippe (
talk) 02:48, 6 August 2021 (UTC).reply
This doesn't absolve him from being covered in secondary, independent sources. If there's nothing in secondary sources, well, then, I beg to differ,
WP:NPROF is irrelevant, since there's no justification for basing an article entirely on primary sources, no matter how "well-cited" some of the subject's papers might be. That's also what the criteria says, "The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." No independent reliable sources = no article. As simple as that.
RandomCanadian (

The citation record (that is, the body of citing papers) comprises thousands of independent reliable sources for
WP:NPROF.
Russ Woodroofe (
talk) 17:25, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
A scholar having their works cited by peers in their discipline is run of the mill. The vast majority of citations are not
WP:SIGCOV of the author of the paper in question. If there are no independent sources to provide encyclopedic coverage about the article subject (such as biographic details and the like), then that's all very nice, but the article fails
WP:V and probably
WP:NOR due to being based solely on primary, self-published sources for its content.
RandomCanadian (
talk /
contribs) 18:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
A scholar having citations at this level may not be run of the mill.
WP:NPROF is independent of GNG, and explicitly states that it is an alternative. I agree that the article is undersourced and overly based on primary sources, but
WP:DINC.
Russ Woodroofe (
talk) 18:58, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
DINC, yes, but it's not that I didn't try, I just couldn't find non-primary sources, so while NPROF might be independent of GNG ([insert rant about SNGs, and in particular ones like this one which seemingly allow articles written solely on primary sources]), so this would still fail core policies regarding sourcing, and given it's a
WP:BLP, we should be more strict about sourcing than just allowing self-published sources.
RandomCanadian (
talk /
contribs) 19:35, 6 August 2021 (UTC)reply
NPROF was written explicitly to allow articles on important academics who wouldn't otherwise have the SIGCOV in IRS necessary for GNG. In my opinion the criteria are too permissive (most editors' perceptions of what a "high" citation profile is in any given field are several standard deviations below the actual median, so low-impact scholars slip through all the time), but that's just what we have to work with until more people agitate for change.

Weak keep. While the subject is highly cited, on most of the highly-cited work he is middle author on a highly coauthored paper (in a field where order matters).

Run-of-the-mill beauty contestant. This article was moved into draft space by
User:Onel5969, and was then moved back into article space, so a second move to draft space would be
move warring .
This article does not
speak for itself and does not explain why the subject satisfies either the
general notability guideline or any other notability guideline. The only
credible claims of significance are finishing second in a beauty contest, and a controversy over vote-rigging in the beauty contest. The latter seems to be
a living person known for one event, which can be covered in an article on the beauty contest, if the beauty contest is itself notable.
The article has been
reference-bombed, and it should not be necessary to go through the sources to check on notability. However, reading the references shows that they are mostly about the 2019 beauty contest controversy.

This article is really about the beauty contest controversy. Either there should be an article about the beauty contest and the controversy, or there shouldn't; but the subject is clearly
noted for one event. It appears that she or her flack are trying to use Wikipedia to advance her career by publicizing the controversy. The three conditions of
BLP1E are all met. Either cover the controversy as a controversy, or don't cover it.

Comment The sources posted above are about the rewards program and not the company itself. And as stated above these are advertorials and they are not too well disguised as articles. They also are testimonial type advertising. There is nothing wrong with that except these are not useful as determinants for notability on Wikipedia. And Wikipedia is not a
platform for promotion. Merge is possible. And, there is not much about Swagbucks in the article as far as I can tell. I think the first reference should not be merged. So for now I agree with Merge but not Keep unless someone can make a good argument against merging. ---
