  • Merge to Pooja Hegde. Recent organization founded by a famous person. Seems to have enough information and sources to justify a paragraph on the subject's article, but notability is not inherited, and sources seem to focus on Hedge, not the org (some don't even mention the foundation's name).

  • Move to Gogetair G750 and re-purpose. Although most information about this type is only on the company's website, Facebook and YouTube presences, other sites do refer to it and it does appear to be a bona fide aircraft type which is, or has been, in small-scale production. As such, by longstanding consensus of the Aviation WikiProject, it is notable per WP:AIRNOTE and, for a fuller account, WP:NAIR. Even if online RS are hard to find with a search engine, it is sure to appear in reputable directories, national registration databases and the like. Since the company is only notable through its aircraft, it does not deserve an article of its own. — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 12:52, 13 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Correct me if I'm wrong but WP:BISHOPS #1 suggest that they're notable only if they are a major figure within a major world religion. I would assume that the Ausar Auset Society does not qualify under this category (given the coverage, size of article, and absence from the major religion article).

Homelessness in the MBTA Subway Station

Homelessness in the MBTA Subway Station

There are at least two problems with this article. First, it is an edge case as to whether it satisfies general notability. Second, more seriously, it is a statement of opinion by the author, and as such is a non- neutral point of view. Neutral point of view is the second pillar of Wikipedia. The opinion appears to be that housing the homeless will alleviate the problem of homelessness in the subway system, which is probably true but is an opinion. Rewriting this into a neutral discussion of what reliable sources say about homeless in the Boston subway system would not leave much, since the sources do not provide much.

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
1 mbta.com A history of the Boston transit system Yes Not about the subject Yes No
2 Boston Globe Editorial calling for end to homelessness Yes Yes Yes, although a statement of opinion, and so a reliable report of the opinion of the newspaper No, a primary statement of opinion
3 Boston Herald About homelessness in the subway system Yes Yes Yes Yes
4 Boston Globe About armrests in middle of subway benches Yes No Yes Yes

This article was moved to draft space by User:WhoAteMyButter once as not ready for article space (and it was not ready for article space), but was moved back to article space by the author. Robert McClenon ( talk) 22:47, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: This is primarily a personal persuasive essay, not an encyclopedia article. There's no evidence of notability; these sources strike me more as run-of-the-mill coverage. There's no indication that there's any substantial difference between homelessness on the MBTA and elsewhere in Boston, or between the MBTA and other transit systems. Any relevant information can go in a sentence or three at Homelessness in the United States by state#Massachusetts. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 00:02, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Good grief: Wikipedia is not the editor's personal editorial column. I recommend he start a blog on Wordpress or Blogger. Now with a century's worth of abandoned tunnels and stations (Scollay Square, Adams Square, the Pleasant Street Incline, the old Broadway streetcar tunnel, etc), there's always been a homeless population in the T tunnels, but all the coverage you see about it is an "OMG the troglodytes!" article every few years in the Globe or the Herald. Ravenswing 02:10, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete First of all, "Homeless in the MBTA Subway Station" is a grammatically incorrect title. It implies the article is about one singular subway station. And as has been said above, this is an essay, not an encyclopedia article. This calls for WP:TNT at best, but I don't think there's really a notable topic here either. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 13:17, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This is just not encyclopedic. I have to laugh at "in Boston in the winter it easily gets below freezing during the day and especially at night." In Boston in the winter there are times it does not get above freezing at all for at least multiple days, if not longer. The sentence misstates the issue. However I have to agree that "oh the troglodytes" articles rarely give us a good picture and are not the type of sources actual good encyclopedic articles can be built on. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:31, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Those articles follow a general pattern: (a) "Did you know that there are long-abandoned subway tunnels and sections under Boston?" (b) "HOMELESS people sleep in them!" (c) "Isn't it awful/dangerous/depressing?", and concluding with (d) "Gosh, the MBTA/police/National Guard/priests of Cthulhu should chase them out of there, because reasons!!"

Plainly passes WP:GNG with significant secondary source coverage for many years (in addition to those listed above): NY Times, Fox News, CBS Philadelphia, NY Post. This is an example of how we need to be careful before reflexively sending pages about people who are underrepresented on Wikipedia to AfD. agtx 15:15, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
The New York Post source is hardly useful. Firstly, per WP:NYPOST but also because it's just about her allegedly making homophobic posts online. Not really something to demonstrate notability. The Fox News source is frankly awful. How could that even be used for a BLP? The New York Times source is routine coverage about her candidacy. AusLondonder ( talk) 17:37, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Agree that the Fox News source is horrible, but it is an entire story regarding a purported controversy about her. I'm not saying it should be cited in the article. I'm saying it's evidence of her notability. The NYT article is a detailed profile about her that appeared in a paper of record, not a passing mention and not something that is afforded to every candidate for whatever office.

  • Comment: @ Hatchens - "Sudhanshu has directed a web series titled Detective Boomrah wherein he also played the titular role" - So, we don't have a wikipedia page for the film/webseries... but we have the page for the fictional character? Kindly explain! - Hatchens ( talk) 08:03, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Hatchens, as i checked on google and found that detective boomrah (web series) is based on a fictional character of Sudhanshu rai named Detective Boomrah. and found reliable coverage about this character so i created this article and i also thought about creating article on the web series and i am collecting details about the web series from the google.

  • Merge into The Closer (2021 film). I looked for sources covering Dorman prior to her mention in Sticks & Stones. She gets a minor mention in this 2017 USA Today piece describing her move into the tech industry. She is covered similarly in a USA Today listicle from the same day. The latter was syndicated into a lot of local newspapers like this one. I'm not sure much more than a line of encyclopedic content could be gleaned from that batch of coverage, and likely not even that much.
    And then there are the oodles of sources about her mentions in Chappelle's specials. I think that content is best summarized in the articles about those specials. To be clear, I think she meets GNG, but that WP:PAGEDECIDE applies. The info we have on here is best presented in the context of Chappelle's shows, context being the key point in two of PAGEDECIDE's critical questions. The third, about what sourcing is available, further favors a merge. Mention of Dorman this calendar year has been negligible, and always centered on coverage of Chappelle. Barring any major shifts in the sources, an article on Dorman is likely to be stuck as a perma-stub. In looking for sources, I used Google News and Newspapers.com. If someone uses other methods and finds sources that add new information, I'd gladly change my vote. Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 18:07, 24 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Intersectional environmentalism

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

This article is currently an WP:OR/ WP:SYNTH mess that suffers from deficient sourcing. Those sources include a blog run by a bank, a group blog, a scholarly work that does not mention environmentalism at all, a deadlink to what appears to be the "about us" page of a not-for-profit corporation run by Leah Thomas, an op-ed by Leah Thomas in a publication that doesn't even claim to be a news organization, and an op-ed by Leah Thomas in Marie Claire. My search for other information found a first-person interview with Leah Thomas published in The Cut, an interview with Thomas in a travel magazine, a popular press book by Leah Thomas, a brief review of that book by National Catholic Reporter, an op-ed by Leah Thomas in Teen Vogue, an ecotextile trade publication that does little more than name-check the topic, another op-ed by Leah Thomas (in Vogue), a piece from DW that more or less covers the topic as a brand of Environmental Justice, a transcript of a WaPo-hosted panel that covers it withing the context of environmental justice (Thomas is on the panel), an interview with Leah Thomas that describes intersectional environmentalism as being environmental justice, and a handful of college newspaper viewpoints and stories. In other words, the topic of intersectional environmentalism doesn't actually appear to be independently notable from the topic of environmental justice; the two appear to be framed as synonyms even by those who seek to promote the term. At most, this term appears to be an alternative name to environmental justice that was proposed by a single activist.

Since the content of the current page is an OR/SYNTH mess and the topic is not independently notable of environmental justice, I propose that this be redirected to environmental justice. — Mhawk10 ( talk) 19:16, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

As a friendly note for those doing google searches, the Leah Thomas who is the environmentalist that coined the phrase is not Lia Thomas and is not the cyclist who currently occupies the Leah Thomas page. Sourcing is probably enough to get the environmentalist a page, but I don't think the same can be said for this neologism. — Mhawk10 ( talk) 19:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Thanks for creating the Leah Thomas (ecofeminist) page! The current intersectional environmentalism page represents student work that is very much in progress. Due to the debate around this page, I would suggest giving the class a few more weeks, however then revisiting the discussion to merge with Environmental justice, or merge with the new page for Leah Thomas. Littlesalmon ( talk) 21:20, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Redirect A merge of some content about intersectionality would be relevant for Environmental justice, but this is not ready for a stand-alone article. I see that last month WikiDan61 appropriately removed more than half of the page for redundancy and content irrelevant to either environmentalism or intersectionality. Still, there is content irrelevant to environmentalism like "High Risk jobs are often held by people who are immigrants especially undocumented ones" with an unrelated source. I would encourage Littlesalmon and other course instructors to create new articles as WP:Drafts. Reywas92 Talk 20:27, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

The citations presented above appear don't appear to demonstrate that the topic of is covered significantly.
  1. The first "source" mentions "intersectional environmentalism" a whopping one time—the title of a parenthetical citation.
  2. The second source that allegedly reflects "scholarly research" is an op-ed in OpenDemocracy. This is an opinion piece, not a piece of scholarly literature.
  3. The third "source" is an anthropological review of "intersectional ecologies", which is a different topic altogether that focuses on the intersection of anthropology and ecology.
  4. The fourth "source" does not so much mention the term "intersectional environmentalism". In fact, it's explicitly a paper about environmental justice in Palestine, which helps to support the notion that the redirect target makes sense.
  5. The fifth source addresses the topic, although it's published in the Journal of Children's Literature which appears to be well out-of-field given that it's published by and English teacher's association.
  6. The sixth "source" does not so much as mention the term "intersectional environmentalism", let alone cover it significantly.
  7. The seventh "source" likewise does not so much as mention the term "intersectional environmentalism".
  8. I lack full access to the eighth source, but the snippets I can pull out from google scholar don't appear to include the phrase "intersectional environmentalism".
  9. The ninth "source" does not so much as mention the term "intersectional environmentalism".
  10. The tenth "source" does not so much as mention the term "intersectional environmentalism".
  11. The eleventh "source" does not so much as mention the term "intersectional environmentalism". It's plainly a paper that's about environmental justice that uses the lens of intersectionality, but this isn't WP:SIGCOV of the topic at hand.
  12. The twelfth source would at first appear to cover the concept in the context of the Green Belt Movement within its fourth chapter. But what the book is describing is something that's different from the intersectional environmentalism of Leah Thomas—the book is writing about a political strategy applied in Kenya, not a theory of justice. In other words, there are multiple topics with the same name.
While I reserve judgement on the eighth source (I'll need to head to a library), the whole remainder of the sources either don't cover the topic significantly or are written in a journal (one that focuses on kid's books) that's not reliable in this context (intersectional environmentalism). As such, WP:GNG is not met even if the sole source I cannot access were to cover this topic significantly. — Mhawk10 ( talk) 05:04, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply
This response conflates methods of assessing a biography with that of a concept; it's not possible to analyse the subject matter here akin to a BLP or with the use of CTRL+F. I'll use somewhat simplified dichotomies to illustrate, but I believe they are useful, nevertheless. We differentiate forms of environmentalism (eg Free-market environmentalism) as the means for achieving sustainability. There is a conceptual difference between environmentalism and sustainability, the former seeking the latter. We can differentiate between environmental justice and the means by which it is done, eg intersectional environmentalism or, purely for argument's sake, free-market environmentalism. This is similar to how one conceptually differentiates socialism from socialist movements, feminism from feminist movements. By definition, intersectional environmentalism is about movements, tactics, and strategy, not about end states, ie environmental justice. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 12:53, 26 April 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Goldsztajn:, you may have a point here (the means differs from the goal), but that doesn't change the need for notability, as demonstrated by significant coverage from sources independent of the movement. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 14:39, 26 April 2022 (UTC) reply

While Julian Assange is unquestionably notable, AssangeDAO is not. The quality references in this piece (CBS, BBC, etc.) are only used to support statements about Assange, not about the DAO. Those that write about the DAO are a mix of poor-quality sources (crypto blogs like CoinDesk and Coin Rivet), an interview with an artist that briefly mentions the DAO, and one decent source (Fortune). At the very most this justifies a brief mention in Julian Assange, though I'm not convinced the Fortune source is enough to justify even that.

They have been replaced by four references to non-crypto sources: Business Insider, Reuters, and two separate citations to Wired. I hope editors will deem this sufficient to meet WP:SIGCOV.

  • Weak keep or merge. There is some coverage but it's pretty much news about one event. I think it's borderline, but a merge might be best for now.

@ Piotrus: Respectfully, I draw your attention to ConstitutionDAO, which is notable only for a single event and did not survive the failure to achieve its sole purpose. By contrast, AssangeDAO scored a spectacular success in raising a record amount of funds, with which it achieved their initial goal. As shown by the group's active official website, Discord, Twitter (with 19.3K followers), and Substack presence, AssangeDAO survives as members discuss how to continue the organization's broader mission "to inspire a powerful solidarity network and fight for the freedom of Julian Assange." As for your suggestion of a merge, I presume you mean merging into the Julian Assange BLP. Given the ongoing resistance of involved editors to expand that voluminous page even slightly, a merge proposal is almost certainly doomed. Rinpoach ( talk) 15:28, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
@ XOR'easter: AssangeDAO is already included in the Assange BLP, as a 2-sentence paragraph at the end of subsection 5.6 Appeal and other developments. If you are suggesting that involved editors would agree to expand that paragraph, I respectfully submit you are mistaken. AssangeDAO is also already listed at Decentralized autonomous organization. As for ConstitutionDAO, I agree that given the standard set above by GorillaWarfare in nominating AssangeDAO for deletion, she or you or another user ought to likewise nominate ConstitutionDAO for deletion.

Counting #1, #2, #9, and the three others I found, this gives six detailed sources on AssangeDAO - much more than enough to pass WP:GNG. Duckmather ( talk) 03:54, 22 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I agree with nom. Looking at some of Duckmather's evidence, some of the sources are mere namedrops (e.g. The Guardian) and don't demonstrate GNG, and others don't show a real meaning/notability to this external to Assange, which means for presentational reasons this would be best covered in Assange's article. To be clear, I think the low bar of GNG is met, but meeting GNG doesn't guarantee standalone articles, and I think this particular subject matter is probably better discussed in Assange's article.

  • Delete This was a flash in the pan that received the brief flurry of electronic media time and that goes with anything on NFTs, Assange, anit-government-intelligence, etc. etc. Like all such trivia, it's generated hysteria among the fans and faithful without any ongoing mainstream significance. There was no substantial and reliably verified information as to the details of this DAO other than the somewhat dubious claim that it was solely to benefit Assange. The amount of money is trivial in the world of NFTs. WP is not an indiscriminate compilation of news and recent events. It is UNDUE for the Assange BLP, which already contains too much scrapbook-like fan coverage of minor details and fleeting mentions of Assange. If the DAO is demonstrated to fit WP criteria for either significance (article content) or notability (article subject) we can always reconsider at such time.

The former was de-prodded with the nonsensical edit summary "Please consider whether you could improve the article rather than deleting it". But I found literally nothing in an extensive WP:BEFORE. I decided to bundle the sister article as well for identical reasons. These existed, but there is literally nothing to say about them other than pages and pages of off-topic guff without a single source in sight. These articles have been stinking up Wikipedia for TWELVE YEARS without anyone even proving that a source could possibly exist, so it's time to nuke them.

Mostly just minor mentions about things going on there, a long article about artists who work there doing artwork for them, and obituaries of people who worked there.

However this page should not be merged with Battle of Chernobyl because the events are completely separate both geographically and chronologically.

Sredmash ( talk) 12:48, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose. The Battle of Chernobyl (2022) was not a battle, no (or very few) shots were fired, so that article is at the wrong title for a start and I'm not sure it is even notable enough for an article all things considered. Also, the events at Chernobyl and Slavutych occurred at entirely different times, so cannot be considered to be the same battle regardless. The content here seems to be notable enough to merit its own article as it is, but could do with expanding with additional English language sources, as I copied the base text from Ukrainian Wikipedia and used their sources as a starting point. Buttons0603 ( talk) 15:22, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Comment furthermore to this, I have just removed the content about Slavutych from the Battle of Chernobyl article, as it seems to have been copied and pasted directly from Battle of Slavutych at some point and shouldn't have been in the Chernobyl article in the first place.

Spammy article about a company that does not appear to meet WP:NCORP sourcing. It was soft deleted following a low-participation AfD discussion in 2021, and then undeleted upon the request of an SPA who claimed that there were new citation to prove its notability, but the article is still supported by the same four references that supported the deleted version - nothing new has been forthcoming.

[23] The main PC Gamer and IGN sources in the article give interpretation and analysis beyond primary source interview, and the sources in the Further reading provide additional context. Additionally, the same stories have received extended coverage in other outlets. The coverage of this topic clearly goes beyond the reception of Elden Ring and clearly has more in-depth discussion than "Luigi death stare", mainly that sources have made enough original statements about this independent phenomenon that the article can support what has currently been written not to mention the sources eligible for expansion. czar 02:00, 22 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Meaningless trivia driven in popularity through FromSoft's corporate sensationalism. Confounding that it should even be mentioned on Wikipedia. WP:NOTWHOSWHO - Christiaanp ( talk) 08:29, 22 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The nominator of this AfD did not advocate any valid grounds for deletion per WP:GNG, demonstrate they have properly done a WP:BEFORE, or provide any proper source analysis to demonstrate that the cited sources do not establish notability. I share the concerns expressed by LPS and MLP Fan about the nominator being potentially a bad faith actor. They appear to be a single purpose account who specifically joined Wikipedia just to start an AfD on the topic; though their argument for deletion based on A7 is a misapplication of Wikipedia policy, their actions indicate that they know more about Wikipedia processes then their inexperience would suggest. The majority of editors who have participated in this discussion have not offered arguments based on Wikipedia's relevant notability guidelines (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO) to rebut the presumption of notability established by the cited sources. There is a living person behind the player character, but based on a close inspection of the sources I believe that it is the character who is notable as opposed to its human creator, so WP:BLP1E does not apply.
Not liking the tone of what a reliable source has to say about the subject is certainly a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, which is still not a ground for deletion per guideline or policy. Agitating for deletion because the topic is in your subjective opinion "meaningless trivia" driven by "corporate sensationalism" does not make any sense because the developers and publisher have no hand in encouraging or promoting the topic's growing popularity. The ongoing glut of coverage from reliable and independent sources about the subject shows that it is anything but "meaningless trivia"; I am already seeing more recent content from sources like this, this, or this emerging from the past few days, which have not yet been cited in this article, that talk about a widely shared mod made by another third party unrelated to Tsuboi and the increasing number of fan art as part of the viral trend, so it is definitely salvagable and not a case of WP:TOOSOON or WP:NOTWHOSWHO. Article content, however broad or sparse, does not determine notability. Luigi Death Stare, a company-produced feature that unexpectedly went viral, is not an appropriate comparison because there are hardly any similarities between both topics; the "Let me solo her" character and viral phenomenon has more in common with Leeroy Jenkins in that both are fan-made characters, and that their players' unusual actions have achieved viral fame. This means a merge into the reception section of Elder Ring would be inappropriate and undue because not a single aspect of this fan-made character/player is a feature of the game itself, but is supported by original statements about this independent phenomenon.
The only valid arguments against this topic getting a standalone article in my opinion is that it may be too narrow in focus and probably should be discussed within the context of a wider Elder Ring fandom topic. For now, we have evidence of multiple sources which are specifically devoted to discussing the character in non-trivial detail and not as part of general Elden Ring gameplay or reception, so that fulfills the requirements of WP:SIGCOV. If there is WP:SIGCOV, then there is a presumption that a given topic may be entitled to be covered in a standalone article. Nothing on the pages of WP:GNG or even WP:NFICTION demand that a character must be "important" to the world to be considered notable. A direct quotation from WP:DELAFD, AfD processes "are not decided through a head count, so participants are each encouraged to explain their opinion and refer to policy". To conclude, the nomination and all of the pile-on delete votes ought to be discarded because no valid reason for deletion has been advanced in this discussion. For that matter, positions which flatly contradict established policy, are logically fallacious or based on personal views only, and those that show a lack of understanding of the issue at hand.
PS: On a side note, why do we even allow random editors below autoconfirmed or extended confirmed status the capability to conduct drive-by AfD nominations, especially when this is a topic area is notorious for rampant bad faith actions from block evading sockpuppets?

This is a content fork ( WP:CFORK) of Stock (food). Both article are about exactly the same topic, namely, a cooking ingredient consisting of water in which savory ingredients are simmered. The (identical) section "Stock versus broth" in both articles explains that "many cooks and food writers use the terms broth and stock interchangeably." It also explains that while there are writers that do make a distinction between stock and broth, they do not agree on what that distinction is.

It follows, in my view, that there should be only one article about the topic of savory hot water, with an explanation about the varying differences in terminology used by some writers. I have attempted to write such an article, but the merger was reverted. It's therefore time for a community discussion. I'm using AfD instead of a proposed merger because AfD is faster and content-forking is a reason for deletion. Sandstein 06:06, 2 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • What a mess. I'd be inclined to Merge the material from Broth that's about broths into Stock (food), and give Broth a hat-note indicating that many people use the term as a synonym of Stock, but retain the Broth article (initially as a stub), to handle things like Scotch Broth, which is not a stock. And incidentally, Scotch Broth isn't "the liquid in a soup which includes solid pieces of meat, fish, or vegetables", it is the soup. I can't site a source, only a million cans in supermarkets up and down the countries of England, Wales and Scotland. As it stands, the two articles are too similar to justify both in their current form. Elemimele ( talk) 13:21, 2 April 2022 (UTC) reply

      • It would be useful if you could show some examples of the many writers who think there is no difference (there is one such source in the article), and those who cannot agree on what the difference is.

I can't see it, and the articles don't make it clear either. Sandstein 16:50, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
It is not necessary to have an article on the difference between the two. Much like Tomato paste and Tomato purée, stock and broth are both independently notable enough to have their own articles and the distinction between them can form a small part of each article. SailingInABathTub ( talk) 17:31, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
But what is there to say about each of them that is not the same? Sandstein 17:43, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
It’s pretty clear when you stick to reliable sources (i.e. not sources that are confused about the distinction), that Broth or Bouillon is traditionally prepared primarily from meat and other ingredients and simmered for a short period of time, in a similar way to a light soup. Whereas traditional stock is made primarily by simmering raw or roasted bones and other ingredients, in water for an extended period of time. This should be made clearer in the Broth article and the sourcing could be improved, but this can be resolved through the normal editing process. SailingInABathTub ( talk) 17:05, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply
If that is in fact the difference - and I can't really make out any difference in this description - then what would be the point of writing two articles that are identical in all respects except for these two sentences? Sandstein 17:16, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Merge per BD2412. The differences in the two (three?) terminologies aren't enough to justify a separate page. Neither page goes into any depth that would be worth separating, but a combined article would have a higher quality than the sum of its parts. SWinxy ( talk) 17:28, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge The article pretty much consists of comparing stock to broth which is then poorly transcluded into the stock article. Not bothered too much on the title (although stock is the common term where I am from) as hatnotes can solve most reader related issues. Don't like Stock, broth, and bouillon as that is unnecessarily awkward. Maybe Stock as it is the best developed of the two and essentially is completed if the transculsion is no longer transcluded.

    Except that the broth article predates the stock article, so it's not a content fork of that article. If anything, it's the other way around. Mind you, the difference is only two months on articles that have both been around since 2004. Obviously the creators didn't consider them redundant. oknazevad ( talk) 18:38, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep –While similar, they are also distinct enough. Stocks are typically used as a soup base. Also, stock concentrates are produced by various manufacturers for professional and consumer uses. Broth concentrates are also produced, but are less common. Also, stocks are typically cooked much longer compared to broths, particularly when used as a soup base, and tend to have a much stronger, condensed flavor. A unique distinction is that broth is often served to sick, infirm, elderly, patients recovering from surgery, and that sort of thing. Some examples of this from Google Books include this 1716 book, this 1917 book, this 1875 book, this 1845 book and this 1855 book, Many more sources are available that further verify this. Conversely, after searching around, the service of stock to the sick seems to be quite uncommon. North America 1000 20:11, 24 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Completely unsourced WP:BLP of an actor and recording engineer, not making any claim to passage of either WP:NACTOR or WP:NMUSIC. The only notability claim on offer here is that he exists -- but the notability test for an actor is not passed just by saying that he's had roles, and the notability test for sound engineers is not passed just by saying that they exist. For either occupation, the notability test is passed by supporting the article with reliable source coverage that externally validates the significance of their work, such as by showing that they won major awards for it or critically analyzing their work in depth. There's just nothing here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on the sourcing, and even on a deep database search the only source I can find is a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article about a band he worked with as an engineer, which isn't enough.

2022–23 Serie B

Article about the upcoming season of the second-tier Italian association football league. This article is too soon and does not contain enough information to satisfy general notability or any version of football notability. There are only two references, neither of which contains any information about secondary coverage of the league, and only one of which displays any information:

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
1 comofootball.com The web site of Como, one of the teams No Yes ? No
2 figc.it Appears to be the web site of the Italian football federation, but a 404 error No ?

This article was moved from article space to draft space by User:Eagleash with the edit summary: Not ready for mainspace WP:TOOSOON; insufficient information to remain as a published encyclopedia entry, which was correct at the time and is still correct. However, it was tweaked, and then moved back to article space by the originator with the edit summary "Ready", which was incorrect. It is not ready. It does not say anything encyclopedic except that the league exists, and there is already a parent article that says that.

The proper place for this page is either draft space, user space, or a bit bucket until the season starts, but another unilateral move to draft space would be move-warring. Robert McClenon ( talk) 15:44, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Comment: this was not the same person as the present Beth Taylor. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:33, 7 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Promotional (direct quote: "Her story is an honest, brave, heartbreaking, and hopeful look at her journey") page about person with limited notability. From 2009 - not sure how it survived this long, to be honest.

  • The page has 10 references - all are dead links, the two that were archived seem to be minor mentions, and even from the titles nine of the ten seem to have originally mentioned Taylor as part of a longer list of people.
  • The two official pages of the subject are also dead links. (Not that they would have contributed to notability directly, but I was hoping they might have better links to third party sources about her.)
  • The subject's claims to notability seem to be that:
    • she was Mississippi's first female television sportscaster (uncited, and honestly, that seems a relatively specific and minor qualification - imagine the thousands of articles we would need about the first female television consumer reporter in Alabama, the first female television arts reporter in West Yorkshire, the first female television health reporter in Chelyabinsk...)
    • she was a behind-the-scenes journalist at a few local newspapers and television stations, some of which won awards (not she specifically, just the newspapers or television stations)
    • wrote a self-published book that I can't find any reviews of,
    • had a small business (in marketing, of course) and
    • won a number of local awards (it says "more than 100" but only specifies maybe 10, of which many were again to her as part of a list or team, and all seem rather minor).

  • Two things stand out here, in addition to what the nominator says. At Special:Permalink/520719073 there are no sources at all until after the life and career parts, which is unsurprising given the article's history as a cleaned up version of the subject's autobiographies on LinkedIn and elsewhere, given the copying called out in edit summaries. When sources 1 to 5 are way down the article and are clearly supporting one sentence with a synthesized conclusion, something is very wrong. Special:Diff/520719073/1083571649 shows nothing substantial happening to the article in the 10 years since the subject last touched it. This is effectively an unsourced autobiography, either of which would be wrong by itself. We shouldn't be hosting this, or wasting editors' time on further cleanup.

Not notable. She has never been elected to parliament in any of her attempts having only gained a maximum of approximately 1.64% of the vote in any electorates she has run in. Never been a officer holder of any major political party. Her attempts at authorship and not notable either. Almost all mentions of her in the media are to do with her outbursts or bizarre behaviour around election times and she is forgotten once elections are over. Current media attention is momentary and she will be once again forgotten once the court case passes. All in an all a very unnotable person whose existence is not encyclopedic.

I think you are operating under a different definition of significant than what the policy actually says. -- Pokelova ( talk) 13:27, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Per WP:GNG, ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." A lot of sources that focus on one aspect, i.e., her outbursts at election times, do not address her in detail. Focusing on the same minor attention seeking behaviour over and over again does not address her as a biographical subject in detail. She lacks notability because there is no significant coverage of her. I think that is perhaps you that are operating under a different definition of significant than what Wiki policy says. AlanS talk 13:39, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Being primarily known for being a loon does not inherently make her unnotable. Your idea that "in detail" means every article about her needs to do a deep dive into her entire history is frankly ridiculous. -- Pokelova ( talk) 13:59, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

    Johnpacklambert, I'm unaware of the fringe subject guidelines. Could you please post a link? Schwede 66 01:12, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
    Schwede66, there is the WP:FRINGEBLP guideline, e.g. There are people who are notable enough to have articles included in Wikipedia solely on the basis of their advocacy of fringe beliefs. Notability can be determined by considering whether there are enough reliable and independent sources that discuss the person in a serious and extensive manner, taking care also to avoid the pitfalls that can appear when determining the notability of fringe theories themselves. Caution should be exercised when evaluating whether there are enough sources available to write a neutral biography that neither unduly promotes nor denigrates the subject. From my view, I think there are enough reliable and independent sources that discuss the subject in a serious and extensive manner, which has allowed this biography to be written in a neutral manner.

  • Keep - WP:BASIC notability appears supported by independent and reliable sources over time, based on my initial review of the article and sources available online. This guideline includes, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability, which appears to apply here. The WP:FRINGE guideline says, a Wikipedia article should not make a fringe theory appear more notable or more widely accepted than it is, and reliable sources must be cited that affirm the relationship of the marginal idea to the mainstream idea in a serious and substantial manner, and this appears to be well-covered by the Legal issues section of the article.

Having been notified of this article through WP:FTN, I found that the sourcing was entirely to acolytes and to primary sources stored by his eponymous/posthumous foundation. Looking for independent sources on this person, I find essentially nothing (there is a much more famous Paul Solomon who is not included at Wikipedia who shows up very high in search results, for example). As such, I do not believe this biography is worthy of inclusion at Wikipedia by any of our normal notability metrics.

Another run-of-the-mill failure of WP:IPC, WP:GNG, WP:NLIST, WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:TRIVIA. Only three references, so most of this is WP:OR. Lead states it wants to be a list "This article lists notable films and books set or with a significant scene in Edinburgh, Scotland, and other aspects of popular culture", and of course the article doesn't even respect its own inclusion criteria - most entries don't explain what, if any, part of the related media are connected to the city, and one of the few which does is arguably not significant ("The Dresden Files novels Turn Coat and Changes, by Jim Butcher, have scenes set in the White Council's stronghold which is hidden within Castle Rock."). The first video game mentioned, Test Drive 5, doesn't even mention the city in our article on the game... etc. This is just another TVTrope-like list of trivia that needs to go, with nothing to merge.

I have no doubt a good article could be written about the Edinburgh in literature.

This ( as with other lists of this sort) is an indiscriminate collection of original research (I am not opposed to an article on Edinburgh in literature be written if properly sourced).
P.S.: I have been to Edinburgh many times but I don't see why going to a place would make somebody more or less likely to vote delete. I've probably visited York more and have no doubt that many books and films have been set there.

However the article as it stands is just a list and one that is tending towards trivia, if not outright trivia. Thus my view would be that while this could be the subject of an article it would need to be almost totally reworked and changed into something discussing how Edinburgh has been portrayed in popular media rather than a list which could effectively include any book, TV series, film or shortbread tin which has ever depicted or even made a passing mention of the city.

At this point, this is a mix of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:TOOSOON. Most of the article consists of relaying news reports of sexual crimes, very loosely tied together with limited statements by a couple of Ukrainian officials. While I would not be surprised if this did eventually become separately notable, it is just not there yet as this moment; it is far too soon.

This article just doesn't necessarily have the board macro-scale needed to cross the threshold of WP:NOTNEWS yet. Curbon7 ( talk) 07:28, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Both the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine and Human Right Watch are raising Sexual Violence and rape as an issue in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Both these sources have been referenced in the article. Therefore believe believe the article meets the criteria required for a Wikipedia article. Ilenart626 ( talk) 08:01, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, and expand the scope to Sexual violence in the Russo-Ukrainian War. For example, Izolyatsia prison is a documented, notorious location used for systemic violence including sexual violence by Russian proxies, and sexual violence has been committed by Russian occupation authorities in Crimea, and documented by the UN.

Initially, the page was moved into the draft by Praxidicae and the creator was advised to submit the draft at AfC. Despite being advised, the page was again moved back to the main namespace by bypassing AfC on the basis of poor interpretation of WP:RS/ WP:RSP. Most of the citations (which are claimed to be reliable by the creator) are the interviews/first account quotes given by the subject to the portals. For more details, kindly check 1, 2, 3. The interviews can be used to source a statement of that fact. However, the existence of interviews should not generally be taken as the crux of an argument that the person has passed WP:GNG. If the person is not the subject of sufficient third-party analysis of their significance, then the existence of one or more interview pieces does not clinch them as notable all by itself.

Besides that, the title of the page has been modified by the addition of "choregrapher" as a suffix to bypass protected/blocked Kruti Mahesh which has been protected and requires extended confirmed access. Also, there is a draft existing under the same name; Draft:Kruti Mahesh. There is no doubt, that this page is end-to-end WP:PROMO, backed up by an editor who has WP:UPE/ WP:COI. Hence, calling for an AfD discussion. - Hatchens ( talk) 08:25, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Not notable. Derpdart56 ( talk) 13:37, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Ref 1 is a school newsletter from Ardsley school, who presumably bought the product, so they're not independent. It's just their explanation to the school's parents about what they're doing. It's evidence that a school used it, but it's primary, not a secondary source (newspaper, book, educationalist) writing about the scheme from outside.
Ref 2 is a pdf of unknown authorship, definitely a primary source.
Ref 3, 4, 5, 6 point to amazon, and are all case studies written by the subject of the article
Ref 7 is basically a blog, a self-published teacher help resource
Ref 8 is an index page pointing at andrelleducation.co.uk's own pages
Ref 9 is by the subject of the article
Ref 10 is currently unrelated to the article
Ref 11, 12 even the archived version is currently a dead link
Ref 13 and 15 are both school sites providing information about the scheme, and are identical, suggesting that they're merely reproductions of the information the scheme gives schools to give to parents.
Ref 14 is by the subject of the article
  • I am seeing no independent coverage whatsoever. I'm not saying the scheme isn't notable, but it's insane to consider this article properly referenced. The original nominator should have specified the reason for nomination, but given that they didn't, may I suggest: produced by a single purpose account with possible COI, and heavily edited by another single purpose account, obviously promotional, devoid of any independent sourcing. It's hard to search for independent secondary sources because of the generic name, and because any primary school that's used it will have something on their website about it for parents. The school sites are, of course, evidence that it's been used widely, which is great, but they're also primary sources (pun unintentional...). The article desperately needs a reference to an educationalist or someone else. The best I can come up with is an education organisation's report [28], but this isn't ideal.

  • Delete. No evidence whatever of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The references are largely promotional and not independent. Most of them don't give substantial coverage of the subject, and most if not all of them are not independent sources, being by the creator of "big writing", or on web sites selling materials related to it, etc. Also the Wikipedia article is unambiguously promotional.

The result was delete. The "keep" arguments consist only of assertions that a head of a very large police force is automatically notable, but this view has no basis in our notability guidelines. On the contrary, the community has some time ago deprecated WP:SOLDIER, which used to assume the notability of high-ranking military officers, which hold similar positions.

A biography of a police officer, who was Director general of police in Punjab. That is the only claim to notability, and I don't think a Director general of police is automatically notable. The sources are overwhelmingly articles and opinions pieces written by him, together with a couple of press releases about his books. The only independent source is this review of one of his books – it is not more than a paragraph, however.

The tone of the article is so promotional that I was tempted to speedy tag it as spam. If the article should be kept after this AfD, it will have to be cut down and thoroughly rewritten. In addition, very little of the biographical information has a source (one wonders where the information in the "Early life and family" section comes from). bonadea contributions talk 15:18, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply

    • This has been said before, but those who say it completely fail to understand that American policing works completely differently. The California Highway Patrol is merely one police agency among thousands in California. The Punjab Police, however, polices the whole Punjab. The Commissioner of the CHP is not the head of the police in California, but merely the head of one relatively small agency. The DGP of the Punjab is the head of the police in the Punjab. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 22:13, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I started by trying to clean the article up, and realised that I could not find anything to indicate notability, unless a Director General of Police in an Indian state is inherently notable. Looking at various SNGs I just couldn't find that – but I'm happy to be proven wrong. I disagree about the current sources meeting GNG. -- bonadea contributions talk 09:05, 15 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Oddly enough, at least in the US, I am suspecting that city level police chiefs are more likely to be notable (well, as in more are notable, the percentage notable will be less, but that is because there are so many more cities), than state police chiefs. I am sure we could create multiple well sourced articles on the heads of police in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles and possibly a few other major cities, I think we would be much more hard pressed to create articles on heads of police for New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan or California. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:20, 15 April 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Again, as I pointed out above, state police forces in America are generally not especially large and the head of the state police is not head of all policing in the state, but only of their own force which only has limited jurisdiction. Most policing is handled by independent city or county police agencies. This is a fundamental difference between policing in the United States and most other countries (which mostly only have a single national force or sometimes only a single force in each state) which seems to confuse many American editors. This gentleman, on the other hand, directly commands all or almost all police in the entire state of Punjab, a force 80,000 strong (nearly twice the size of the NYPD, America's biggest police agency). That's an enormous difference. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 22:55, 15 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Keep: The gentleman is eminently notable on account of his outstanding work in his professsion-37 years of well recognised service in the IPS( Indian Police Service) which is equivalent to the IP of British times. His stint in the premier investigating agency of Govt of India -CBI- is also notable. His work won public acclaim . His notability is also due to his being an eminent writer contributing more than 115 articles in national Newspapers and having written four books launched by two different Governors of Punjab state. Governors of Indian States don't launch books without first verifying of their worthiness. His books were well received and discussed in the media as referenced . A police officer being also an eminent writer is in itself remarkable and notable. His achievements found wide publicity in Indian media. His professional work in police related to a period prior to November 2006 when he retired from the Indian Police Service. That was not the time of widescale use of internet , at least in India. Hence, searching for notability for such a person by references listed on internet would not be correct. The gentleman created a new benchmark of work ethics ,the same having been recognised by award of various medals including President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service.
Note: I am the creator of the article . Hence, I am putting forward my views this way, as I am blocked on regular channel due to some misunderstanding for which I will appeal 2405:204:3018:C64B:98E1:D68D:4249:1924 ( talk) 13:34, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I agree that the article in its current state has severe WP:NPOV and sourcing issues - but as said that isn't particularly relevant to the notability discussion. ObsidianPotato ( talk) 23:25, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
As a creator of the article, I am answering to concerns of Obsidian Potato, esteemed member of Wikipedia community-
(1) President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service ( known as PPM in short). It was awarded under an order of the President of India on the occasion of Indian Independence Day 1993 (15 August) on the recommendation of Goverment of Punjab and Government of India. The medal as such was, however, presented to the awardee in 1994 , as per practice, in a ceremony  at Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Police Academy , Phillaur ( Punjab) in 1994 at the time of Annual Passing Out Parade , by the then Chief Minister Punjab , Beant Singh, as shown correctly in photo. However, in the heading over the photo, 1994 needs to be changed to 1993 which I will do once I get access.
Since, the award relates to 1993 , it may or may not be verifiable online as it was pre-internet era.
Other awards and achievements are also real; photos of two have been posted . In respect of that at SN 9 ( reward for arrest of dangerous Interpol criminal of Canada ), the copy of the letter can be posted but it has the name of the " dangerous criminal" who after arrest was extradited to Canada where after undergoing 20 years' imprisonment, he was out of jail , and hence can pose danger to the life of the subject of the article, if the name is disclosed.
Other medals are also shown worn by the officer in photo, some of which medals were war time medals of 1971 ( Indo-Pak war of 1971) for duties in areas bordering Pakistan. Some are for duties in the period of terrorism in Punjab ( 1981-1996).
Online verification of these may not be possible as these relate to pre-internet era.
(2) Notability - As already mentioned, the subject of the article was in active service of Indian Police Service(IPS) from 1969-2006, much of which relates to pre-internet era. His works in various capacities including district superintendent of police in two important districts and as DIG, CBI( Govt of India) and later as IG Commando of Punjab State ( 1992-1994, an important period of Punjab terrorism phase ) were reported in newspapers quite often but these related to pre-internet era, and hence online availability of these , in the very nature of things, cannot be expected. "India Today" , a well known national fortnightly magzine of India had carried a several-pages story on Punjab Commando Force during 1992-1994 when the subject was its head as Inspector General of Police , he being the first IG Commando having raised 5 batallions of the force which fought terrorism very successfully . Naturally, online link to the Article in "India Today" would not be available.  Moreover, newspapers in post-internet era have made the online papers a paid service and hence online links to even such news would not be accessible ( without payment). Links obtained by payment would be openable by subscriber only.  This is the limitation in this case. However, reference at SN 5 has his name at number 4 listing some of his achievements (not all).
The subject of the article is a well known figure , now more than 75  years, and after having put in a very notable service in police career for 37 years , has  now turned a writer where he has shown remarkable talent. References are already mentioned.
The notability of the subject ,seen in totality and in correct perspective , is not in doubt. 47.31.96.226 ( talk) 05:29, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Thank you for a detailed answer. I understand that internet sources might not exist, or might be difficult to find. However, foreign-language sources, subscription-locked sources, as well as paper sources including books and newspapers, are also acceptable (as long as they are published, verifiable and properly quoted).
I recommend you re-read WP:V, WP:RS, and look at derivative policy articles/essays for further advice (e.g. WP:NOTTRUTH). You can also use tools like the Wayback Machine to access internet sites that aren't available anymore. Unfortunately, as per the verifiability policy, this article needs citations, not assertions.

The only WP:RS links in the article are to Tribune; all of which are subject's own columns and are completely useless for this WP:BLP page. The only reliable book review, again Tribune, specifically says it's a "Tribune Short" and devotes a single paragraph. Hence WP:NAUTHOR is also not an avenue.

This article has existed for 12 years with no sources. The only sources I found appeared to be Wikipedia mirrors. I am not sure I found anything that even verifies his existence, clearly nothing that shows that he is notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. I've found a source for the article, the problem is it's "too good", as in - our article is a perfect translation, word for word, from it, so WP:COPYVIO is a likely issue. The source is a biographical note in an article by him, with no indication who wrote the note, and based on what sources. The magazine it was published in is a very minor, local historical periodical, although reliable, think bottom rung historical journal ( pl:Cracovia Leopolis). Regarding the sources mentioned by @ Mccapra, I took a look (I am a Polish speaker). There are several citations to him, and mentions in passing, but I couldn't find any WP:SIGCOV. Based other visible snippets, he was somebody important enough that several folks mentioned him, briefly, in their diaries/memoirs, and his works were cited a few times, but overall there is little so show he meets NBIO. That said, it's possible there is something not digitized that we are not picking up, after all, the 2006 short biography I found is based on something. It's a very borderline case, there are signs better sources may exist (as much as I hate WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES), but I cannot locate them. (He is briefly mentioned in a interview with his daughter published in a 2018 issue of the same magazine, [29], but that's a very brief mention). Frankly, I'd probably we at "weak delete", given we cannot find better sources, but I am a bit inclusionist for Polish history, and again, the odds that there is something more, just not digitized yet, aren't very bad here, so there's that.

  • Strong keep: easily meets WP:BAND for Poland.
    • @1. Talked about in a number of independent sources, e.g. Wyborcza, Wirtualna Polska, and more.
    • @2. Lista_Przebojów_Programu_Trzeciego is one of, if not the most famous music chart in Poland.
    • @3. Sales certifications - the English OLiS article is mediocre, but the list is definitely legit and published by ZPAV (see also the Polish Wiki article [32]).
    • @5. Both albums released with Agora (company), [33] [34] which should qualify as "an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable". [35]
...etc. It satisfies a number of points in the WP:BAND list (note that the criterion is you really only need one). The suspicions about the author aren't particularly relevant to the nominator's notability claim + it's entirely plausible that the same independent editor might want to create both articles.

  • Reluctant Delete - I am familiar with this band and saw them live back in the day, and I can attest that they had some underground credibility at the time. Alas, I am surprised to find that they attracted very little mainstream notice. Searching is tough because the band's name is also a purported slang term, but a search in conjunction with the names of band members also reveals little. For the band, I can find nothing beyond the partial and/or unreliable reviews mentioned in the discussion above; note that singer Abby Gennet has a little media notice for her later activities but the band is only ever mentioned briefly. Also note that they have two album articles at Get a Load of This (album) and Slunt (EP), which should at least be redirected in the event that the band's article survives. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 13:45, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Neutral: On one hand, I agree that the article is really hard to source and the notability is questionable/borderline. Objectively, however, I can't see what changed since the 2007 discussion, and so as per WP:NTEMP by deleting it now we would essentially be disputing that decision. If the two published albums made the band notable back then, it should also be notable now. PS: The two album articles - Get_a_Load_of_This (album), Slunt (EP) - fail WP:NALBUM and so they should be deleted/merged, and redirected into the main article. ObsidianPotato ( talk) 23:33, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply

As such, by longstanding consensus of the Aviation WikiProject, it is notable per WP:AIRNOTE and, for a fuller account, WP:NAIR. Even if online RS are hard to find with a search engine, it is sure to appear in reputable directories, national registration databases and the like.

Correct me if I'm wrong but WP:BISHOPS #1 suggest that they're notable only if they are a major figure within a major world religion. I would assume that the Ausar Auset Society does not qualify under this category (given the coverage, size of article, and absence from the major religion article).

Homelessness in the MBTA Subway Station

There are at least two problems with this article. First, it is an edge case as to whether it satisfies general notability. Second, more seriously, it is a statement of opinion by the author, and as such is a non- neutral point of view. Neutral point of view is the second pillar of Wikipedia. The opinion appears to be that housing the homeless will alleviate the problem of homelessness in the subway system, which is probably true but is an opinion. Rewriting this into a neutral discussion of what reliable sources say about homeless in the Boston subway system would not leave much, since the sources do not provide much.

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
1 mbta.com A history of the Boston transit system Yes Not about the subject Yes No
2 Boston Globe Editorial calling for end to homelessness Yes Yes Yes, although a statement of opinion, and so a reliable report of the opinion of the newspaper No, a primary statement of opinion
3 Boston Herald About homelessness in the subway system Yes Yes Yes Yes
4 Boston Globe About armrests in middle of subway benches Yes No Yes Yes

This article was moved to draft space by User:WhoAteMyButter once as not ready for article space (and it was not ready for article space), but was moved back to article space by the author. Robert McClenon ( talk) 22:47, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: This is primarily a personal persuasive essay, not an encyclopedia article. There's no evidence of notability; these sources strike me more as run-of-the-mill coverage. There's no indication that there's any substantial difference between homelessness on the MBTA and elsewhere in Boston, or between the MBTA and other transit systems. Any relevant information can go in a sentence or three at Homelessness in the United States by state#Massachusetts. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 00:02, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Good grief: Wikipedia is not the editor's personal editorial column. I recommend he start a blog on Wordpress or Blogger. Now with a century's worth of abandoned tunnels and stations (Scollay Square, Adams Square, the Pleasant Street Incline, the old Broadway streetcar tunnel, etc), there's always been a homeless population in the T tunnels, but all the coverage you see about it is an "OMG the troglodytes!" article every few years in the Globe or the Herald. Ravenswing 02:10, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete First of all, "Homeless in the MBTA Subway Station" is a grammatically incorrect title. It implies the article is about one singular subway station. And as has been said above, this is an essay, not an encyclopedia article. This calls for WP:TNT at best, but I don't think there's really a notable topic here either. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 13:17, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This is just not encyclopedic. I have to laugh at "in Boston in the winter it easily gets below freezing during the day and especially at night." In Boston in the winter there are times it does not get above freezing at all for at least multiple days, if not longer. The sentence misstates the issue. However I have to agree that "oh the troglodytes" articles rarely give us a good picture and are not the type of sources actual good encyclopedic articles can be built on. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:31, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Those articles follow a general pattern: (a) "Did you know that there are long-abandoned subway tunnels and sections under Boston?" (b) "HOMELESS people sleep in them!" (c) "Isn't it awful/dangerous/depressing?", and concluding with (d) "Gosh, the MBTA/police/National Guard/priests of Cthulhu should chase them out of there, because reasons!!"

The New York Post source is hardly useful. Firstly, per WP:NYPOST but also because it's just about her allegedly making homophobic posts online. Not really something to demonstrate notability. The Fox News source is frankly awful. How could that even be used for a BLP? The New York Times source is routine coverage about her candidacy. AusLondonder ( talk) 17:37, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Agree that the Fox News source is horrible, but it is an entire story regarding a purported controversy about her. I'm not saying it should be cited in the article. I'm saying it's evidence of her notability. The NYT article is a detailed profile about her that appeared in a paper of record, not a passing mention and not something that is afforded to every candidate for whatever office.

  • Merge the content in to The Closer (2021 film). The content there would do well to be enhanced. Chumpih t 09:15, 24 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge into The Closer (2021 film). I looked for sources covering Dorman prior to her mention in Sticks & Stones. She gets a minor mention in this 2017 USA Today piece describing her move into the tech industry. She is covered similarly in a USA Today listicle from the same day. The latter was syndicated into a lot of local newspapers like this one. I'm not sure much more than a line of encyclopedic content could be gleaned from that batch of coverage, and likely not even that much.
    And then there are the oodles of sources about her mentions in Chappelle's specials. I think that content is best summarized in the articles about those specials. To be clear, I think she meets GNG, but that WP:PAGEDECIDE applies. The info we have on here is best presented in the context of Chappelle's shows, context being the key point in two of PAGEDECIDE's critical questions. The third, about what sourcing is available, further favors a merge. Mention of Dorman this calendar year has been negligible, and always centered on coverage of Chappelle. Barring any major shifts in the sources, an article on Dorman is likely to be stuck as a perma-stub. In looking for sources, I used Google News and Newspapers.com. If someone uses other methods and finds sources that add new information, I'd gladly change my vote. Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 18:07, 24 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Intersectional environmentalism

This article is currently an WP:OR/ WP:SYNTH mess that suffers from deficient sourcing. Those sources include a blog run by a bank, a group blog, a scholarly work that does not mention environmentalism at all, a deadlink to what appears to be the "about us" page of a not-for-profit corporation run by Leah Thomas, an op-ed by Leah Thomas in a publication that doesn't even claim to be a news organization, and an op-ed by Leah Thomas in Marie Claire. My search for other information found a first-person interview with Leah Thomas published in The Cut, an interview with Thomas in a travel magazine, a popular press book by Leah Thomas, a brief review of that book by National Catholic Reporter, an op-ed by Leah Thomas in Teen Vogue, an ecotextile trade publication that does little more than name-check the topic, another op-ed by Leah Thomas (in Vogue), a piece from DW that more or less covers the topic as a brand of Environmental Justice, a transcript of a WaPo-hosted panel that covers it withing the context of environmental justice (Thomas is on the panel), an interview with Leah Thomas that describes intersectional environmentalism as being environmental justice, and a handful of college newspaper viewpoints and stories. In other words, the topic of intersectional environmentalism doesn't actually appear to be independently notable from the topic of environmental justice; the two appear to be framed as synonyms even by those who seek to promote the term. At most, this term appears to be an alternative name to environmental justice that was proposed by a single activist.

Since the content of the current page is an OR/SYNTH mess and the topic is not independently notable of environmental justice, I propose that this be redirected to environmental justice. — Mhawk10 ( talk) 19:16, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

As a friendly note for those doing google searches, the Leah Thomas who is the environmentalist that coined the phrase is not Lia Thomas and is not the cyclist who currently occupies the Leah Thomas page. Sourcing is probably enough to get the environmentalist a page, but I don't think the same can be said for this neologism. — Mhawk10 ( talk) 19:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Update: Leah Thomas (ecofeminist) is now a page. — Mhawk10 ( talk) 20:21, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Thanks for creating the Leah Thomas (ecofeminist) page! The current intersectional environmentalism page represents student work that is very much in progress. Due to the debate around this page, I would suggest giving the class a few more weeks, however then revisiting the discussion to merge with Environmental justice, or merge with the new page for Leah Thomas. Littlesalmon ( talk) 21:20, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Redirect A merge of some content about intersectionality would be relevant for Environmental justice, but this is not ready for a stand-alone article. I see that last month WikiDan61 appropriately removed more than half of the page for redundancy and content irrelevant to either environmentalism or intersectionality. Still, there is content irrelevant to environmentalism like "High Risk jobs are often held by people who are immigrants especially undocumented ones" with an unrelated source. I would encourage Littlesalmon and other course instructors to create new articles as WP:Drafts. Reywas92 Talk 20:27, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect and Draftify: as the article currently stands, it is not ready for publication. It is a WikiEd project, but since my original merge proposal and removal of blatantly irrelevant material, I have seen little work by the class participants or anyone else to improve it. I have already mentioned to Littlesalmon that the class project would have been better created in the draft space. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 15:05, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply

The citations presented above appear don't appear to demonstrate that the topic of is covered significantly.
  1. The first "source" mentions "intersectional environmentalism" a whopping one time—the title of a parenthetical citation.
  2. The second source that allegedly reflects "scholarly research" is an op-ed in OpenDemocracy. This is an opinion piece, not a piece of scholarly literature.
  3. The third "source" is an anthropological review of "intersectional ecologies", which is a different topic altogether that focuses on the intersection of anthropology and ecology.
  4. The fourth "source" does not so much mention the term "intersectional environmentalism". In fact, it's explicitly a paper about environmental justice in Palestine, which helps to support the notion that the redirect target makes sense.
  5. The fifth source addresses the topic, although it's published in the Journal of Children's Literature which appears to be well out-of-field given that it's published by and English teacher's association.
  6. The sixth "source" does not so much as mention the term "intersectional environmentalism", let alone cover it significantly.
  7. The seventh "source" likewise does not so much as mention the term "intersectional environmentalism".
  8. I lack full access to the eighth source, but the snippets I can pull out from google scholar don't appear to include the phrase "intersectional environmentalism".
  9. The ninth "source" does not so much as mention the term "intersectional environmentalism".
  10. The tenth "source" does not so much as mention the term "intersectional environmentalism".
  11. The eleventh "source" does not so much as mention the term "intersectional environmentalism". It's plainly a paper that's about environmental justice that uses the lens of intersectionality, but this isn't WP:SIGCOV of the topic at hand.
  12. The twelfth source would at first appear to cover the concept in the context of the Green Belt Movement within its fourth chapter. But what the book is describing is something that's different from the intersectional environmentalism of Leah Thomas—the book is writing about a political strategy applied in Kenya, not a theory of justice. In other words, there are multiple topics with the same name.
While I reserve judgement on the eighth source (I'll need to head to a library), the whole remainder of the sources either don't cover the topic significantly or are written in a journal (one that focuses on kid's books) that's not reliable in this context (intersectional environmentalism). As such, WP:GNG is not met even if the sole source I cannot access were to cover this topic significantly. — Mhawk10 ( talk) 05:04, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply
This response conflates methods of assessing a biography with that of a concept; it's not possible to analyse the subject matter here akin to a BLP or with the use of CTRL+F. I'll use somewhat simplified dichotomies to illustrate, but I believe they are useful, nevertheless. We differentiate forms of environmentalism (eg Free-market environmentalism) as the means for achieving sustainability. There is a conceptual difference between environmentalism and sustainability, the former seeking the latter. We can differentiate between environmental justice and the means by which it is done, eg intersectional environmentalism or, purely for argument's sake, free-market environmentalism. This is similar to how one conceptually differentiates socialism from socialist movements, feminism from feminist movements. By definition, intersectional environmentalism is about movements, tactics, and strategy, not about end states, ie environmental justice. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 12:53, 26 April 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Goldsztajn:, you may have a point here (the means differs from the goal), but that doesn't change the need for notability, as demonstrated by significant coverage from sources independent of the movement. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 14:39, 26 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Notability. Just another local rivalry of very little interest or importance. TheLongTone ( talk) 12:45, 5 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Oh puh-lease. Two articles in local papers. And sports journalists are notorious for their love of cliche. TheLongTone ( talk) 11:49, 8 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • There's less on this derby than the other one up for nomination and the sources in the article aren't great for showing a rivalry, but they also haven't been in the same league during the recent internet era, and Cambridge has more rivalry articles up than Peterborough. Clearly a rivalry, probably passes WP:GNG, but probably needs another couple (older?) sources to comfortably clear the bar. SportingFlyer T· C 19:08, 8 April 2022 (UTC) reply

While Julian Assange is unquestionably notable, AssangeDAO is not. The quality references in this piece (CBS, BBC, etc.) are only used to support statements about Assange, not about the DAO. Those that write about the DAO are a mix of poor-quality sources (crypto blogs like CoinDesk and Coin Rivet), an interview with an artist that briefly mentions the DAO, and one decent source (Fortune). At the very most this justifies a brief mention in Julian Assange, though I'm not convinced the Fortune source is enough to justify even that.

Sure, we are using this Talk:Bitcoin_Cash/Archive_3#RfC_to_tighten_sourcing_on_this_article and WP:GS/Crypto. These two have greatly clamped down on the rampant WP:PROMO that is often WP:COI related on crypto articles.

Jtbobwaysf ( talk) 20:57, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Since nomination at 18:33, 19 April 2022, two of the original references (CoinDesk and Coin Rivet) have been removed. They have been replaced by four references to non-crypto sources: Business Insider, Reuters, and two separate citations to Wired. I hope editors will deem this sufficient to meet WP:SIGCOV. And at the risk of invoking WP:WHATABOUT, I would be remiss to not point out that AssangeDAO surpassed ConstitutionDAO in amount raised, and unlike its predecessor actually succeeded in purchasing the item upon which it bid. If ConstitutionDAO is notable enough for its own Wikipedia page, surely AssangeDAO is, too. Rinpoach ( talk) 00:40, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep or merge. There is some coverage but it's pretty much news about one event. I think it's borderline, but a merge might be best for now. If the DAO surives and is covered again in some other capacity, then it would likely deserve a stand-alone article. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:03, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
@ Piotrus: Respectfully, I draw your attention to ConstitutionDAO, which is notable only for a single event and did not survive the failure to achieve its sole purpose. By contrast, AssangeDAO scored a spectacular success in raising a record amount of funds, with which it achieved their initial goal. As shown by the group's active official website, Discord, Twitter (with 19.3K followers), and Substack presence, AssangeDAO survives as members discuss how to continue the organization's broader mission "to inspire a powerful solidarity network and fight for the freedom of Julian Assange." As for your suggestion of a merge, I presume you mean merging into the Julian Assange BLP. Given the ongoing resistance of involved editors to expand that voluminous page even slightly, a merge proposal is almost certainly doomed. Rinpoach ( talk) 15:28, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
@ XOR'easter: AssangeDAO is already included in the Assange BLP, as a 2-sentence paragraph at the end of subsection 5.6 Appeal and other developments. If you are suggesting that involved editors would agree to expand that paragraph, I respectfully submit you are mistaken. AssangeDAO is also already listed at Decentralized autonomous organization. As for ConstitutionDAO, I agree that given the standard set above by GorillaWarfare in nominating AssangeDAO for deletion, she or you or another user ought to likewise nominate ConstitutionDAO for deletion.

The topic is does not see coverage beyond passing mention in any of the cited sources -- Wired ("Assange's NFT Clock Sale Rides a Wave of DAO Crowdfunding") & Business Insider are probably the best things here but are pretty limited in their coverage, they don't make a clear case for general notability. Following WP:THREE in my assessment here. SiliconRed (he/him) ( talk) 15:56, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep searching for WP refs brings up lots of sources: Wired, Reuters (which also happens to be ref #2), a brief mention in The Guardian, and two articles in Yahoo Finance that are quite in-depth. As for refs already listed: #1 is quite in-depth, #2 is already mentioned, #3-7 are background info (discussed by nom), #8 gives a single-sentence mention to AssangeDAO, and #9 looks pretty in-depth too. Counting #1, #2, #9, and the three others I found, this gives six detailed sources on AssangeDAO - much more than enough to pass WP:GNG. Duckmather ( talk) 03:54, 22 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I agree with nom. Looking at some of Duckmather's evidence, some of the sources are mere namedrops (e.g. The Guardian) and don't demonstrate GNG, and others don't show a real meaning/notability to this external to Assange, which means for presentational reasons this would be best covered in Assange's article. To be clear, I think the low bar of GNG is met, but meeting GNG doesn't guarantee standalone articles, and I think this particular subject matter is probably better discussed in Assange's article.

  • Delete This was a flash in the pan that received the brief flurry of electronic media time and that goes with anything on NFTs, Assange, anit-government-intelligence, etc. etc. Like all such trivia, it's generated hysteria among the fans and faithful without any ongoing mainstream significance. There was no substantial and reliably verified information as to the details of this DAO other than the somewhat dubious claim that it was solely to benefit Assange. The amount of money is trivial in the world of NFTs. WP is not an indiscriminate compilation of news and recent events. It is UNDUE for the Assange BLP, which already contains too much scrapbook-like fan coverage of minor details and fleeting mentions of Assange. If the DAO is demonstrated to fit WP criteria for either significance (article content) or notability (article subject) we can always reconsider at such time.

The historic nature of AssangeDAO, as cited by mainstream reliable sources, is not due to its primacy but to what Business Insider called "the stunning amount generated by over 10,000 contributors," which Fortune reported "smashes Juicebox's previous fundraising record from ConstitutionDAO."

Mostly just minor mentions about things going on there, a long article about artists who work there doing artwork for them, and obituaries of people who worked there. Anyway, the American government paid them to build nuclear powered spaceships there, and they do get mentioned in a lot of different newspapers in articles, not just ads. I'd say that's notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Dream Focus 00:44, 10 April 2022 (UTC) reply

However this page should not be merged with Battle of Chernobyl because the events are completely separate both geographically and chronologically. Slavutych was only attacked a month after the (very limited) fighting in Chernobyl. I also think that the Chernobyl "battle" article should be deleted or at least renamed. Sredmash ( talk) 12:48, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose. The Battle of Chernobyl (2022) was not a battle, no (or very few) shots were fired, so that article is at the wrong title for a start and I'm not sure it is even notable enough for an article all things considered. Also, the events at Chernobyl and Slavutych occurred at entirely different times, so cannot be considered to be the same battle regardless. The content here seems to be notable enough to merit its own article as it is, but could do with expanding with additional English language sources, as I copied the base text from Ukrainian Wikipedia and used their sources as a starting point. Buttons0603 ( talk) 15:22, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Comment furthermore to this, I have just removed the content about Slavutych from the Battle of Chernobyl article, as it seems to have been copied and pasted directly from Battle of Slavutych at some point and shouldn't have been in the Chernobyl article in the first place. So that removes the duplication of content issue across articles. I've also requested a page move regarding the currently problematic Battle of Chernobyl article title. Buttons0603 ( talk) 15:40, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose - As Buttons0603 correctly pointed out, these were different events. The current article is large enough to warrant its own existence - not due to the battle, however, but the civilian resistance. Perhaps it might be better to rename the article - "Occupation of Slavutych", for example, and focus more on the notable civil events instead of the short fighting phase.

Spammy article about a company that does not appear to meet WP:NCORP sourcing. It was soft deleted following a low-participation AfD discussion in 2021, and then undeleted upon the request of an SPA who claimed that there were new citation to prove its notability, but the article is still supported by the same four references that supported the deleted version - nothing new has been forthcoming. These are: a blog run by an affiliated company, a deadlink to a (presumably self-authored) profile on Bloomberg, another blog by an affiliated company, and a press release - nothing at all that is independent, reliable and secondary.

The reliable source coverage of this topic is extended, enduring, non-trivial, and in-depth, from the individual's first appearance through to their backstory and cultural responses (fan art and mods). [23] The main PC Gamer and IGN sources in the article give interpretation and analysis beyond primary source interview, and the sources in the Further reading provide additional context. Additionally, the same stories have received extended coverage in other outlets. The coverage of this topic clearly goes beyond the reception of Elden Ring and clearly has more in-depth discussion than "Luigi death stare", mainly that sources have made enough original statements about this independent phenomenon that the article can support what has currently been written not to mention the sources eligible for expansion. czar 02:00, 22 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Meaningless trivia driven in popularity through FromSoft's corporate sensationalism. Confounding that it should even be mentioned on Wikipedia. WP:NOTWHOSWHO - Christiaanp ( talk) 08:29, 22 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The nominator of this AfD did not advocate any valid grounds for deletion per WP:GNG, demonstrate they have properly done a WP:BEFORE, or provide any proper source analysis to demonstrate that the cited sources do not establish notability. I share the concerns expressed by LPS and MLP Fan about the nominator being potentially a bad faith actor. They appear to be a single purpose account who specifically joined Wikipedia just to start an AfD on the topic; though their argument for deletion based on A7 is a misapplication of Wikipedia policy, their actions indicate that they know more about Wikipedia processes then their inexperience would suggest. The majority of editors who have participated in this discussion have not offered arguments based on Wikipedia's relevant notability guidelines (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO) to rebut the presumption of notability established by the cited sources. There is a living person behind the player character, but based on a close inspection of the sources I believe that it is the character who is notable as opposed to its human creator, so WP:BLP1E does not apply.
Not liking the tone of what a reliable source has to say about the subject is certainly a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, which is still not a ground for deletion per guideline or policy. Agitating for deletion because the topic is in your subjective opinion "meaningless trivia" driven by "corporate sensationalism" does not make any sense because the developers and publisher have no hand in encouraging or promoting the topic's growing popularity. The ongoing glut of coverage from reliable and independent sources about the subject shows that it is anything but "meaningless trivia"; I am already seeing more recent content from sources like this, this, or this emerging from the past few days, which have not yet been cited in this article, that talk about a widely shared mod made by another third party unrelated to Tsuboi and the increasing number of fan art as part of the viral trend, so it is definitely salvagable and not a case of WP:TOOSOON or WP:NOTWHOSWHO. Article content, however broad or sparse, does not determine notability. Luigi Death Stare, a company-produced feature that unexpectedly went viral, is not an appropriate comparison because there are hardly any similarities between both topics; the "Let me solo her" character and viral phenomenon has more in common with Leeroy Jenkins in that both are fan-made characters, and that their players' unusual actions have achieved viral fame. This means a merge into the reception section of Elder Ring would be inappropriate and undue because not a single aspect of this fan-made character/player is a feature of the game itself, but is supported by original statements about this independent phenomenon.
The only valid arguments against this topic getting a standalone article in my opinion is that it may be too narrow in focus and probably should be discussed within the context of a wider Elder Ring fandom topic. For now, we have evidence of multiple sources which are specifically devoted to discussing the character in non-trivial detail and not as part of general Elden Ring gameplay or reception, so that fulfills the requirements of WP:SIGCOV. If there is WP:SIGCOV, then there is a presumption that a given topic may be entitled to be covered in a standalone article. Nothing on the pages of WP:GNG or even WP:NFICTION demand that a character must be "important" to the world to be considered notable. A direct quotation from WP:DELAFD, AfD processes "are not decided through a head count, so participants are each encouraged to explain their opinion and refer to policy". To conclude, the nomination and all of the pile-on delete votes ought to be discarded because no valid reason for deletion has been advanced in this discussion. For that matter, positions which flatly contradict established policy, are logically fallacious or based on personal views only, and those that show a lack of understanding of the issue at hand.
PS: On a side note, why do we even allow random editors below autoconfirmed or extended confirmed status the capability to conduct drive-by AfD nominations, especially when this is a topic area is notorious for rampant bad faith actions from block evading sockpuppets?

This is a content fork ( WP:CFORK) of Stock (food). Both article are about exactly the same topic, namely, a cooking ingredient consisting of water in which savory ingredients are simmered. The (identical) section "Stock versus broth" in both articles explains that "many cooks and food writers use the terms broth and stock interchangeably." It also explains that while there are writers that do make a distinction between stock and broth, they do not agree on what that distinction is.

It follows, in my view, that there should be only one article about the topic of savory hot water, with an explanation about the varying differences in terminology used by some writers. I have attempted to write such an article, but the merger was reverted. It's therefore time for a community discussion.

And incidentally, Scotch Broth isn't "the liquid in a soup which includes solid pieces of meat, fish, or vegetables", it is the soup.

      • It would be useful if you could show some examples of the many writers who think there is no difference (there is one such source in the article), and those who cannot agree on what the difference is. Even the sources in the article, that say that they use the terms stock and broth interchangeably, acknowledge that there is a difference between the two.

            To put it another way, what exactly is the substantial difference between the two topics that would warrant detailing this difference at article length, rather than mentioning the distinction in the one article for which we have material? I can't see it, and the articles don't make it clear either. Sandstein 16:50, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
It is not necessary to have an article on the difference between the two. Much like Tomato paste and Tomato purée, stock and broth are both independently notable enough to have their own articles and the distinction between them can form a small part of each article. SailingInABathTub ( talk) 17:31, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
But what is there to say about each of them that is not the same? Sandstein 17:43, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
It’s pretty clear when you stick to reliable sources (i.e. not sources that are confused about the distinction), that Broth or Bouillon is traditionally prepared primarily from meat and other ingredients and simmered for a short period of time, in a similar way to a light soup. Whereas traditional stock is made primarily by simmering raw or roasted bones and other ingredients, in water for an extended period of time. This should be made clearer in the Broth article and the sourcing could be improved, but this can be resolved through the normal editing process. SailingInABathTub ( talk) 17:05, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply
If that is in fact the difference - and I can't really make out any difference in this description - then what would be the point of writing two articles that are identical in all respects except for these two sentences? Sandstein 17:16, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Merge per BD2412. The differences in the two (three?) terminologies aren't enough to justify a separate page. Neither page goes into any depth that would be worth separating, but a combined article would have a higher quality than the sum of its parts. SWinxy ( talk) 17:28, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Merge The article pretty much consists of comparing stock to broth which is then poorly transcluded into the stock article. Not bothered too much on the title (although stock is the common term where I am from) as hatnotes can solve most reader related issues. Don't like Stock, broth, and bouillon as that is unnecessarily awkward. Maybe Stock as it is the best developed of the two and essentially is completed if the transculsion is no longer transcluded.

    Except that the broth article predates the stock article, so it's not a content fork of that article. If anything, it's the other way around. Mind you, the difference is only two months on articles that have both been around since 2004. Obviously the creators didn't consider them redundant. oknazevad ( talk) 18:38, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep –While similar, they are also distinct enough. Stocks are typically used as a soup base. Also, stock concentrates are produced by various manufacturers for professional and consumer uses. Broth concentrates are also produced, but are less common. Also, stocks are typically cooked much longer compared to broths, particularly when used as a soup base, and tend to have a much stronger, condensed flavor. A unique distinction is that broth is often served to sick, infirm, elderly, patients recovering from surgery, and that sort of thing. Some examples of this from Google Books include this 1716 book, this 1917 book, this 1875 book, this 1845 book and this 1855 book, Many more sources are available that further verify this. Conversely, after searching around, the service of stock to the sick seems to be quite uncommon. North America 1000 20:11, 24 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Completely unsourced WP:BLP of an actor and recording engineer, not making any claim to passage of either WP:NACTOR or WP:NMUSIC. The only notability claim on offer here is that he exists -- but the notability test for an actor is not passed just by saying that he's had roles, and the notability test for sound engineers is not passed just by saying that they exist. For either occupation, the notability test is passed by supporting the article with reliable source coverage that externally validates the significance of their work, such as by showing that they won major awards for it or critically analyzing their work in depth. There's just nothing here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on the sourcing, and even on a deep database search the only source I can find is a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article about a band he worked with as an engineer, which isn't enough.

2022–23 Serie B

Article about the upcoming season of the second-tier Italian association football league. This article is too soon and does not contain enough information to satisfy general notability or any version of football notability. There are only two references, neither of which contains any information about secondary coverage of the league, and only one of which displays any information:

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
1 comofootball.com The web site of Como, one of the teams No Yes ? No
2 figc.it Appears to be the web site of the Italian football federation, but a 404 error No ?

This article was moved from article space to draft space by User:Eagleash with the edit summary: Not ready for mainspace WP:TOOSOON; insufficient information to remain as a published encyclopedia entry, which was correct at the time and is still correct. However, it was tweaked, and then moved back to article space by the originator with the edit summary "Ready", which was incorrect. It is not ready. It does not say anything encyclopedic except that the league exists, and there is already a parent article that says that.

The proper place for this page is either draft space, user space, or a bit bucket until the season starts, but another unilateral move to draft space would be move-warring. Robert McClenon ( talk) 15:44, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Another second tier league that also has been created is 2022–23 EFL Championship. If the article was deleted, it would be recreated shortly. If it isn't good enough, then WP:ATD applies, which says editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page.

Comment: this was not the same person as the present Beth Taylor. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:33, 7 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Promotional (direct quote: "Her story is an honest, brave, heartbreaking, and hopeful look at her journey") page about person with limited notability. From 2009 - not sure how it survived this long, to be honest.

  • The page has 10 references - all are dead links, the two that were archived seem to be minor mentions, and even from the titles nine of the ten seem to have originally mentioned Taylor as part of a longer list of people.
  • The two official pages of the subject are also dead links. (Not that they would have contributed to notability directly, but I was hoping they might have better links to third party sources about her.)
  • The subject's claims to notability seem to be that:
    • she was Mississippi's first female television sportscaster (uncited, and honestly, that seems a relatively specific and minor qualification - imagine the thousands of articles we would need about the first female television consumer reporter in Alabama, the first female television arts reporter in West Yorkshire, the first female television health reporter in Chelyabinsk...)
    • she was a behind-the-scenes journalist at a few local newspapers and television stations, some of which won awards (not she specifically, just the newspapers or television stations)
    • wrote a self-published book that I can't find any reviews of,
    • had a small business (in marketing, of course) and
    • won a number of local awards (it says "more than 100" but only specifies maybe 10, of which many were again to her as part of a list or team, and all seem rather minor).
  • This page was created in 2009 by a single purpose editor, User:Tygerbait, every single edit of whom was to this page.

At Special:Permalink/520719073 there are no sources at all until after the life and career parts, which is unsurprising given the article's history as a cleaned up version of the subject's autobiographies on LinkedIn and elsewhere, given the copying called out in edit summaries. When sources 1 to 5 are way down the article and are clearly supporting one sentence with a synthesized conclusion, something is very wrong. Special:Diff/520719073/1083571649 shows nothing substantial happening to the article in the 10 years since the subject last touched it.

Not notable. She has never been elected to parliament in any of her attempts having only gained a maximum of approximately 1.64% of the vote in any electorates she has run in. Never been a officer holder of any major political party. Her attempts at authorship and not notable either.

Per WP:GNG, ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." A lot of sources that focus on one aspect, i.e., her outbursts at election times, do not address her in detail. Focusing on the same minor attention seeking behaviour over and over again does not address her as a biographical subject in detail. She lacks notability because there is no significant coverage of her. I think that is perhaps you that are operating under a different definition of significant than what Wiki policy says.

    Schwede66, there is the WP:FRINGEBLP guideline, e.g. There are people who are notable enough to have articles included in Wikipedia solely on the basis of their advocacy of fringe beliefs. Notability can be determined by considering whether there are enough reliable and independent sources that discuss the person in a serious and extensive manner, taking care also to avoid the pitfalls that can appear when determining the notability of fringe theories themselves. Caution should be exercised when evaluating whether there are enough sources available to write a neutral biography that neither unduly promotes nor denigrates the subject. From my view, I think there are enough reliable and independent sources that discuss the subject in a serious and extensive manner, which has allowed this biography to be written in a neutral manner.

  • Keep - WP:BASIC notability appears supported by independent and reliable sources over time, based on my initial review of the article and sources available online. This guideline includes, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability, which appears to apply here. The WP:FRINGE guideline says, a Wikipedia article should not make a fringe theory appear more notable or more widely accepted than it is, and reliable sources must be cited that affirm the relationship of the marginal idea to the mainstream idea in a serious and substantial manner, and this appears to be well-covered by the Legal issues section of the article.

Having been notified of this article through WP:FTN, I found that the sourcing was entirely to acolytes and to primary sources stored by his eponymous/posthumous foundation. Looking for independent sources on this person, I find essentially nothing (there is a much more famous Paul Solomon who is not included at Wikipedia who shows up very high in search results, for example). As such, I do not believe this biography is worthy of inclusion at Wikipedia by any of our normal notability metrics.

Another run-of-the-mill failure of WP:IPC, WP:GNG, WP:NLIST, WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:TRIVIA. Only three references, so most of this is WP:OR. Lead states it wants to be a list "This article lists notable films and books set or with a significant scene in Edinburgh, Scotland, and other aspects of popular culture", and of course the article doesn't even respect its own inclusion criteria - most entries don't explain what, if any, part of the related media are connected to the city, and one of the few which does is arguably not significant ("The Dresden Files novels Turn Coat and Changes, by Jim Butcher, have scenes set in the White Council's stronghold which is hidden within Castle Rock."). The first video game mentioned, Test Drive 5, doesn't even mention the city in our article on the game... etc. This is just another TVTrope-like list of trivia that needs to go, with nothing to merge.

I have no doubt a good article could be written about the Edinburgh in literature.

This ( as with other lists of this sort) is an indiscriminate collection of original research (I am not opposed to an article on Edinburgh in literature be written if properly sourced).
P.S.: I have been to Edinburgh many times but I don't see why going to a place would make somebody more or less likely to vote delete. I've probably visited York more and have no doubt that many books and films have been set there. However, if an article called York in popular culture turned up at AFD in the state that most of these "pop cult" articles are I would support deletion.

However the article as it stands is just a list and one that is tending towards trivia, if not outright trivia. Thus my view would be that while this could be the subject of an article it would need to be almost totally reworked and changed into something discussing how Edinburgh has been portrayed in popular media rather than a list which could effectively include any book, TV series, film or shortbread tin which has ever depicted or even made a passing mention of the city.

At this point, this is a mix of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:TOOSOON.

Initially, the page was moved into the draft by Praxidicae and the creator was advised to submit the draft at AfC. Despite being advised, the page was again moved back to the main namespace by bypassing AfC on the basis of poor interpretation of WP:RS/ WP:RSP. Most of the citations (which are claimed to be reliable by the creator) are the interviews/first account quotes given by the subject to the portals. For more details, kindly check 1, 2, 3. The interviews can be used to source a statement of that fact. However, the existence of interviews should not generally be taken as the crux of an argument that the person has passed WP:GNG. If the person is not the subject of sufficient third-party analysis of their significance, then the existence of one or more interview pieces does not clinch them as notable all by itself.

Besides that, the title of the page has been modified by the addition of "choregrapher" as a suffix to bypass protected/blocked Kruti Mahesh which has been protected and requires extended confirmed access. Also, there is a draft existing under the same name; Draft:Kruti Mahesh. There is no doubt, that this page is end-to-end WP:PROMO, backed up by an editor who has WP:UPE/ WP:COI. Hence, calling for an AfD discussion. - Hatchens ( talk) 08:25, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Oaktree b So you mean if Hatchens thinks that i am Sock Puppert of any other’s account then this choreographer became less notable? Sorry to say, but it doesn’t make any sense. and I don’t have any previous account so this allegation is baseless. Talking about this choreographer I explained that she has won notable awards. So please check all details. i am talking about this article so if any investigation is on going so it doesn’t mean this choreographer is less notable or non notable. National Film Award, Filmfare awards and IIFA awards are India’s most notable awards. Google would help you if you have any doubts.

Not notable. Derpdart56 ( talk) 13:37, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Ref 1 is a school newsletter from Ardsley school, who presumably bought the product, so they're not independent. It's just their explanation to the school's parents about what they're doing. It's evidence that a school used it, but it's primary, not a secondary source (newspaper, book, educationalist) writing about the scheme from outside.
Ref 2 is a pdf of unknown authorship, definitely a primary source.
Ref 3, 4, 5, 6 point to amazon, and are all case studies written by the subject of the article
Ref 7 is basically a blog, a self-published teacher help resource
Ref 8 is an index page pointing at andrelleducation.co.uk's own pages
Ref 9 is by the subject of the article
Ref 10 is currently unrelated to the article
Ref 11, 12 even the archived version is currently a dead link
Ref 13 and 15 are both school sites providing information about the scheme, and are identical, suggesting that they're merely reproductions of the information the scheme gives schools to give to parents.
Ref 14 is by the subject of the article
  • I am seeing no independent coverage whatsoever. I'm not saying the scheme isn't notable, but it's insane to consider this article properly referenced. The original nominator should have specified the reason for nomination, but given that they didn't, may I suggest: produced by a single purpose account with possible COI, and heavily edited by another single purpose account, obviously promotional, devoid of any independent sourcing. It's hard to search for independent secondary sources because of the generic name, and because any primary school that's used it will have something on their website about it for parents. The school sites are, of course, evidence that it's been used widely, which is great, but they're also primary sources (pun unintentional...). The article desperately needs a reference to an educationalist or someone else. The best I can come up with is an education organisation's report [28], but this isn't ideal. Can anyone find something better? Elemimele ( talk) 19:29, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. No evidence whatever of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The references are largely promotional and not independent. Most of them don't give substantial coverage of the subject, and most if not all of them are not independent sources, being by the creator of "big writing", or on web sites selling materials related to it, etc. Also the Wikipedia article is unambiguously promotional. (It was created as blatant spam by a single-purpose account which also created several other pages, now deleted, advertising "big writing". Its promotional tone has subsequently been drastically reduced by other editors, but it's still unmistakably there.) JBW ( talk) 20:21, 13 April 2022 (UTC) reply

The result was delete. The "keep" arguments consist only of assertions that a head of a very large police force is automatically notable, but this view has no basis in our notability guidelines. On the contrary, the community has some time ago deprecated WP:SOLDIER, which used to assume the notability of high-ranking military officers, which hold similar positions. The "delete" side's arguments that there are not enough secondary sources to write an article with remains uncontested. Sandstein 12:32, 26 April 2022 (UTC) reply

A biography of a police officer, who was Director general of police in Punjab. That is the only claim to notability, and I don't think a Director general of police is automatically notable. The sources are overwhelmingly articles and opinions pieces written by him, together with a couple of press releases about his books. The only independent source is this review of one of his books – it is not more than a paragraph, however.

The tone of the article is so promotional that I was tempted to speedy tag it as spam. If the article should be kept after this AfD, it will have to be cut down and thoroughly rewritten. In addition, very little of the biographical information has a source (one wonders where the information in the "Early life and family" section comes from). bonadea contributions talk 15:18, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. The head of the police in an Indian state with a population of nearly 28 million is clearly significant enough for an article. Poor article, but enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Being a poor article is not a criterion for deletion. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 12:46, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I'm not so sure that being the head of police for a state of large population is a lock for a notability pass. For instance, after checking it's category there doesn't to be an article on a single commissioner of the California Highway Patrol. Some of these refs appear to be self-written and others as simple book listings. Best, GPL93 ( talk) 16:09, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply
    • This has been said before, but those who say it completely fail to understand that American policing works completely differently. The California Highway Patrol is merely one police agency among thousands in California. The Punjab Police, however, polices the whole Punjab. The Commissioner of the CHP is not the head of the police in California, but merely the head of one relatively small agency. The DGP of the Punjab is the head of the police in the Punjab. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 22:13, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply
      • Commenting as nominator: I don't know anything about USAnian police systems but I do know what the DNG is (I linked to the article in the nomination, to make sure that other participants in the discussion could check), and I definitely did not mean to imply that the article was nominated because it's in a poor state. I started by trying to clean the article up, and realised that I could not find anything to indicate notability, unless a Director General of Police in an Indian state is inherently notable. Looking at various SNGs I just couldn't find that – but I'm happy to be proven wrong. I disagree about the current sources meeting GNG. -- bonadea contributions talk 09:05, 15 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete we just do not have the level of coverage to justify an article on him. Oddly enough, at least in the US, I am suspecting that city level police chiefs are more likely to be notable (well, as in more are notable, the percentage notable will be less, but that is because there are so many more cities), than state police chiefs. I am sure we could create multiple well sourced articles on the heads of police in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles and possibly a few other major cities, I think we would be much more hard pressed to create articles on heads of police for New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan or California. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:20, 15 April 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Again, as I pointed out above, state police forces in America are generally not especially large and the head of the state police is not head of all policing in the state, but only of their own force which only has limited jurisdiction. Most policing is handled by independent city or county police agencies. This is a fundamental difference between policing in the United States and most other countries (which mostly only have a single national force or sometimes only a single force in each state) which seems to confuse many American editors. This gentleman, on the other hand, directly commands all or almost all police in the entire state of Punjab, a force 80,000 strong (nearly twice the size of the NYPD, America's biggest police agency). That's an enormous difference. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 22:55, 15 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Keep: The gentleman is eminently notable on account of his outstanding work in his professsion-37 years of well recognised service in the IPS( Indian Police Service) which is equivalent to the IP of British times. His stint in the premier investigating agency of Govt of India -CBI- is also notable. His work won public acclaim . His notability is also due to his being an eminent writer contributing more than 115 articles in national Newspapers and having written four books launched by two different Governors of Punjab state. Governors of Indian States don't launch books without first verifying of their worthiness. His books were well received and discussed in the media as referenced . A police officer being also an eminent writer is in itself remarkable and notable. His achievements found wide publicity in Indian media. His professional work in police related to a period prior to November 2006 when he retired from the Indian Police Service. That was not the time of widescale use of internet , at least in India. Hence, searching for notability for such a person by references listed on internet would not be correct. The gentleman created a new benchmark of work ethics ,the same having been recognised by award of various medals including President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service.
Note: I am the creator of the article . Hence, I am putting forward my views this way, as I am blocked on regular channel due to some misunderstanding for which I will appeal 2405:204:3018:C64B:98E1:D68D:4249:1924 ( talk) 13:34, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I find @ Necrothesp's arguments for keeping at the very least noteworthy but I'm struggling to see how to reach sufficient verifiability for this article. Pending further sources - perhaps there is information in Punjabi or some other language that I wouldn't be able to access.
I agree that the article in its current state has severe WP:NPOV and sourcing issues - but as said that isn't particularly relevant to the notability discussion. ObsidianPotato ( talk) 23:25, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
As a creator of the article, I am answering to concerns of Obsidian Potato, esteemed member of Wikipedia community-
(1) President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service ( known as PPM in short). It was awarded under an order of the President of India on the occasion of Indian Independence Day 1993 (15 August) on the recommendation of Goverment of Punjab and Government of India. The medal as such was, however, presented to the awardee in 1994 , as per practice, in a ceremony  at Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Police Academy , Phillaur ( Punjab) in 1994 at the time of Annual Passing Out Parade , by the then Chief Minister Punjab , Beant Singh, as shown correctly in photo. However, in the heading over the photo, 1994 needs to be changed to 1993 which I will do once I get access.
Since, the award relates to 1993 , it may or may not be verifiable online as it was pre-internet era.
Other awards and achievements are also real; photos of two have been posted . In respect of that at SN 9 ( reward for arrest of dangerous Interpol criminal of Canada ), the copy of the letter can be posted but it has the name of the " dangerous criminal" who after arrest was extradited to Canada where after undergoing 20 years' imprisonment, he was out of jail , and hence can pose danger to the life of the subject of the article, if the name is disclosed.
Other medals are also shown worn by the officer in photo, some of which medals were war time medals of 1971 ( Indo-Pak war of 1971) for duties in areas bordering Pakistan. Some are for duties in the period of terrorism in Punjab ( 1981-1996).
Online verification of these may not be possible as these relate to pre-internet era.
(2) Notability - As already mentioned, the subject of the article was in active service of Indian Police Service(IPS) from 1969-2006, much of which relates to pre-internet era. His works in various capacities including district superintendent of police in two important districts and as DIG, CBI( Govt of India) and later as IG Commando of Punjab State ( 1992-1994, an important period of Punjab terrorism phase ) were reported in newspapers quite often but these related to pre-internet era, and hence online availability of these , in the very nature of things, cannot be expected. "India Today" , a well known national fortnightly magzine of India had carried a several-pages story on Punjab Commando Force during 1992-1994 when the subject was its head as Inspector General of Police , he being the first IG Commando having raised 5 batallions of the force which fought terrorism very successfully . Naturally, online link to the Article in "India Today" would not be available.  Moreover, newspapers in post-internet era have made the online papers a paid service and hence online links to even such news would not be accessible ( without payment). Links obtained by payment would be openable by subscriber only.  This is the limitation in this case. However, reference at SN 5 has his name at number 4 listing some of his achievements (not all).
The subject of the article is a well known figure , now more than 75  years, and after having put in a very notable service in police career for 37 years , has  now turned a writer where he has shown remarkable talent. References are already mentioned.
The notability of the subject ,seen in totality and in correct perspective , is not in doubt. 47.31.96.226 ( talk) 05:29, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Thank you for a detailed answer. I understand that internet sources might not exist, or might be difficult to find. However, foreign-language sources, subscription-locked sources, as well as paper sources including books and newspapers, are also acceptable (as long as they are published, verifiable and properly quoted).
I recommend you re-read WP:V, WP:RS, and look at derivative policy articles/essays for further advice (e.g. WP:NOTTRUTH). You can also use tools like the Wayback Machine to access internet sites that aren't available anymore. Unfortunately, as per the verifiability policy, this article needs citations, not assertions.

This article has existed for 12 years with no sources. The only sources I found appeared to be Wikipedia mirrors. I am not sure I found anything that even verifies his existence, clearly nothing that shows that he is notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:58, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. I've found a source for the article, the problem is it's "too good", as in - our article is a perfect translation, word for word, from it, so WP:COPYVIO is a likely issue. The source is a biographical note in an article by him, with no indication who wrote the note, and based on what sources. The magazine it was published in is a very minor, local historical periodical, although reliable, think bottom rung historical journal ( pl:Cracovia Leopolis). Regarding the sources mentioned by @ Mccapra, I took a look (I am a Polish speaker). There are several citations to him, and mentions in passing, but I couldn't find any WP:SIGCOV. Based other visible snippets, he was somebody important enough that several folks mentioned him, briefly, in their diaries/memoirs, and his works were cited a few times, but overall there is little so show he meets NBIO. That said, it's possible there is something not digitized that we are not picking up, after all, the 2006 short biography I found is based on something. It's a very borderline case, there are signs better sources may exist (as much as I hate WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES), but I cannot locate them. (He is briefly mentioned in a interview with his daughter published in a 2018 issue of the same magazine, [29], but that's a very brief mention). Frankly, I'd probably we at "weak delete", given we cannot find better sources, but I am a bit inclusionist for Polish history, and again, the odds that there is something more, just not digitized yet, aren't very bad here, so there's that.

Possible Promotional paid job on a musical band that fails to meet any criterion from WP:BAND, a before search doesn’t show me reliable sources that the band is notable, nor do they meet any criterion that suggests notability. Note that the article creator has been content forking and/ walking, they also created this non notable article; Katarzyna Sienkiewicz which is also nominated for deletion. Celestina007 ( talk) 21:13, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Delete. Definitely falls short of the guidelines in WP:BAND, and I agree that I suspect this is a paid promotion. Additionally the page is tagged as using deprecated sources, though I'm unable to tell which references they are. aismallard ( talk) 21:44, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Keep, very popular band in Poland. Two LPs, three Platinums, PL Video Music Awards in 2018, constantly on radio Marcelus ( talk) 07:25, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: their first album reached no. 7 in Poland, the second one reached no. 1 [30]. The platinum and double platinum certifications for the first and second albums, respectively, which are listed in the article also check out. The debut single has a triple platinum certification and the second one has been certified platinum as well [31]. This may be paid editing, but they are definitely popular and notable in their home country. Richard3120 ( talk) 13:48, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply
    I wouldn't say popular, but borderline notable in the context of Wikipedia, yes. Weak keep from me per Marcelus and Richard. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:48, 16 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Strong keep: easily meets WP:BAND for Poland.
    • @1. Talked about in a number of independent sources, e.g. Wyborcza, Wirtualna Polska, and more.
    • @2. Lista_Przebojów_Programu_Trzeciego is one of, if not the most famous music chart in Poland.
    • @3. Sales certifications - the English OLiS article is mediocre, but the list is definitely legit and published by ZPAV (see also the Polish Wiki article [32]).
    • @5. Both albums released with Agora (company), [33] [34] which should qualify as "an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable". [35]
...etc. It satisfies a number of points in the WP:BAND list (note that the criterion is you really only need one). The suspicions about the author aren't particularly relevant to the nominator's notability claim + it's entirely plausible that the same independent editor might want to create both articles.

Delete: per nom, roles listed in subject's filmography all seem to be minor after IMDb review. Tow ( talk) 23:50, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Tow Imdb isn’t a reliable source to check his work. He acted as Khanna in the movie Bala. [36] he played as CISF Inspector in the film Bunty Aur Babli 2 [37] and as Police man in Flesh. [38] also he played a noted character Mr. Gupta in Chalo Koi Baat Nahi. [39]]. “Shashie Verma, who was seen playing pivotal roles in Shorgul, Bala and Panchayat, will be seen essaying the role of a cop in Swara Bhasker-starrer web series Flesh” mentioned in Tribune India. [40] He passes WP:NACTOR. When you are voting for an afd, you should check everything thoroughly.

IndaneLove ( talk) 03:50, 14 April 2022 (UTC) reply

As per your links, he played the role of 'Hair Transplant Doctor' in Bala. I reviewed the other movies & shows as well. I reviewed your sources. I don't see how any of these are significant roles. The roles were not even notable enough to have been listed on the Bunty Aur Babli 2 & Chalo Koi Baat Nahi Wikipedia pages it seems. Tow ( talk) 04:16, 14 April 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Tow How can you judge that if he has played a hair transplant doctor then it’s a minor character. Maybe he has appeared in full movie. As Tribune India claimed that he played pivotal roles in Shorgul, Bala and Panchayat. Also check this source for Shorgul he played as Shiva. [41] IndaneLove ( talk) 04:34, 14 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I know it is minor because he isn't even listed once in the synopsis. Tow ( talk) 04:39, 14 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Well, it’s according to you but not as per sources.

  • Delete He doesn't meet the notability criteria for boxers or kickboxers. He does appear to have four top tier MMA fights, which does meet WP:NMMA. However, he won none of those fights and won only 7 of his 18 pro MMA fights.

Found a non-404 review here: [42] and a mention here: [43] (he says they disbanded in 2007 so maybe we can source & add something about that and save the article?). The albums probably don't deserve separate articles regardless. ObsidianPotato ( talk) 03:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of New York-related deletion discussions. CAPTAIN RAJU (T) 04:19, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Reluctant Delete - I am familiar with this band and saw them live back in the day, and I can attest that they had some underground credibility at the time. Alas, I am surprised to find that they attracted very little mainstream notice. Searching is tough because the band's name is also a purported slang term, but a search in conjunction with the names of band members also reveals little. For the band, I can find nothing beyond the partial and/or unreliable reviews mentioned in the discussion above; note that singer Abby Gennet has a little media notice for her later activities but the band is only ever mentioned briefly. Also note that they have two album articles at Get a Load of This (album) and Slunt (EP), which should at least be redirected in the event that the band's article survives. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 13:45, 19 April 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Neutral: On one hand, I agree that the article is really hard to source and the notability is questionable/borderline. Objectively, however, I can't see what changed since the 2007 discussion, and so as per WP:NTEMP by deleting it now we would essentially be disputing that decision. If the two published albums made the band notable back then, it should also be notable now. PS: The two album articles - Get_a_Load_of_This (album), Slunt (EP) - fail WP:NALBUM and so they should be deleted/merged, and redirected into the main article. ObsidianPotato ( talk) 23:33, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply
Weak Delete: Changing my vote as per discussion - Even though it seems kinda close with the two released albums, I think it's unlikely sufficient coverage/sources exist to justify this article. ObsidianPotato ( talk) 18:14, 24 April 2022 (UTC) reply
What changed since 2007 is that the notability rules for musicians at WP:NBAND have gotten tougher, and it is now necessary to prove that the band got more than a few blog-like reviews and gig announcements. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 19:22, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply
