We have three works by college students - one about "Comics in the Evolving Media Landscape," another about "The tools of Webcomics: The infinite canvas and other innovations", and one more about "iComic: A Deeper Look Into the Adapting World of Cartoons"- in them, our subject gets mentioned respectively seven, two, and two times; a couple of corporate media-statements in French, one by Hachette that they'll be publishing something from Hiveworks, and another from Hiveworks' partner ActuaBD; and a post by Publishers Weekly about how comics have become "the King of Libraries" (the text on our subject takes one paragraph). All we're left with are the 2021 inclusion of Xellette Stillwell in Forbes "30 under 30" yearly list; a Comics Beat advertorial about our subject's "latest releases"; and a report focusing exclusively on Mari Naomi, "creator and maintenance person" for a number of databases, in which our subject is mentioned once as part of Naomi's past work; there's a great article titled "Nerds flame on at Flame Con: all the queer cheer is here" in which many persons, characters, publishers, and platforms are mentioned, plus our subject; Book Riot offers an article titled "5 Queer-friendly Comics Publishers You Should Know" and one of the five is out subject. And that's it. We do not have enough cumulative citations specifically about our subject, and not abt others. Personally? I hope eventually they arrive. - The Gnome ( talk) 12:43, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

    A pundit or commentator is not inherently notable, but this person appears to be interviewed and make appearances as an expert since he was formerly an SEC lawyer, so I think that confers some notability. He's also mentioned in a few books. Ron Geffner graduated Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and began working for the SEC in the New York branch in 1991, making $40,000 a year. Geffner was SEC “class of '91,”, Too Good to Be True: The Rise and Fall of Bernie Madoff, House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street, “This is like waking up in the summer with snow on the ground,” said Ron Geffner, a former SEC enforcement lawyer. “The price is indicative that there were bigger problems at Bear than the clients and the public realized., The Street-Smart Trader: An insider's guide to the City, “Every trader wants an edge and there are many grey areas when it comes to aggressive research,” Ron Geffner, a lawyer at New York-based Sadis & Goldberg told the Bloomberg news service shortly after Rajaratnam's arrest.

The same can be said about the article on the website Poilnam and WordandDeed. Sources do not need to be entirely independent of Christianity to present independent coverage of a Christian topic.

Advocacy article with no evidence of notability. The first two sources are not reliable.

  • Comment The article on astrology also calls its subject matter pseudoscientific, does that make it an advocacy article? Partofthemachine ( talk) 23:32, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    No, because there are multiple reliable sources debunking the concept of astrology provided there. This article does not have that, and the fourth source you just added, in addition to being primary, isn't even talking about the same thing that you claim the third source is a "proponent of". This article is WP:SYNTH of unrelated sources to make a point, and astrology is not. (Nor are WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS arguments valid at AfD anyway) * Pppery * it has begun... 23:37, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    It is absolutely not WP:SYNTH because the first two sources I cited (both of which are written by reputable scientists) explicitly state that IS is not science. Partofthemachine ( talk) 23:42, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Come on man, it is trivial to find good, peer-reviewed publications on this topic [1] [2] [3] [4]. What this article needs is throwing out the rubbish sources currently present, integration of some solid academic sources, and then a rewrite that gets away from the finger-wagging "PSEUDOSCIENCE!" focus; this concept is principally one of traditional knowledge preservation and post-colonial cultural integration.

    Sources are database websites (Soccerway), primary (club websites), interviews, and routine transfer news. I don't think it's enough, and I've seen many other articles deleted with similary sourcing. Nehme 1499 23:00, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    I feel like that's the majority of football player articles that will be written and sourced such as that though (transfer news articles that summarize their career/key match performances in articles about the match, and player interview articles). The sources in this article are not all are primary, there are multiple secondary ones, plus there are no database/soccerway sourcing in this article. Even the other Marlon Santos article, despite having played in Serie A and Ligue 1, still only has that same type of sourcing (transfer news and primary articles sourced in his article) and is written in the exact same form as this article is, as are the majority of basic football articles (basically unless a player is super elite, transfer articles will be the main articles about them, supplemented by game articles/year end team articles). My rule of thumb has always been if their transfers are covered in non-primary sources (with a decent enough amount of detail) such as [5], [6], [7], [8] then it's good. If it's primary team sites only I say no RedPatch ( talk) 23:35, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    I agree that the other Marlon's page is more or less to the same standard as this one's. However, there are many more in-depth sources online which are not being used, such as [9] and [10]. I don't see sources such as these in this article. Nehme 1499 00:04, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    That first one is definitely more detailed. GNG is pretty subjective anyways, so what meets it for one isn't necessarily enough for another. While there weren't really any "Outstanding" sources, I feel there were enough Okay-Good sources to meet it. It wasn't really a struggle for me to find sources to make it a decent Start article, sometimes it's a lot more difficult for me to find them. Feel there might be a more sources in Portuguese too that didn't pop up in an English google search. RedPatch ( talk) 03:33, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply

I did a thorough analysis of the page's sources (please, see the Talk page "Proposed improvement or deletion of the page" and found that there is not even one article with in-depth coverage of the subject.The article about Fardad Fateri was created in 2013 when the standards for sources were not followed properly. I checked the last nomination for deletion (no consensus) and found out that even the creator of the page Cbryant23 agreed that the page was not notable but forgot to vote accordingly, offering to speedily delete the page. I thoroughly checked the articles’ references and didn’t find any publications that can qualify to prove notability of the executive. Per WP’ requirement we need 3 in-depth articles about Fardad Fateri but there is not even one that can meet the requirement. The article is also poorly referenced and doesn’t cite the sources properly. Onetimememorial ( talk) 18:25, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - I'm torn on this one. There's a long history of apparent WP:COI with the editors on this article trying to whitewash criticism, and deleting this article would serve in removing justifiably negative coverage of Fateri - especially since this article is the top Google search result for his name. However, I am also not finding any significant reliably sourced coverage of Fateri. There are a couple that mention his name and a couple sentences about his work background, but they're trivial mentions. If this article is deleted, I would at the very least recommend a lot of scrutiny on International_Education_Corporation and his other affiliated organizations to ensure they're not also suffering from COI. PDXBart ( talk) 19:19, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
PDXBart, I believe that notability of the page for Fardad Fateri and his involvement with International_Education_Corporation are two different issues and both have to be resolved in separate. If Fardad Fateri is found not notable to have a separate page on Wikipedia, then some of the information can be merged with other relevant pages including International_Education_Corporation.-- Onetimememorial ( talk) 17:49, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Onetimememorial, AFD is not a vote, but instead a discussion, and the closer reads the statements and closes based on their strengths. Cbryant23 commented in the previous discussion; it is irrelevant whether they specifically summarized their position with a keyword such as "keep". It's also not their WP:OWN page, so it's only of minor relevance what they now think of it. I note that much of their original content was excised editorially as being inappropriate; I'll WP:AGF that they now have second thoughts about the subject itself, but one might reasonbly say that "the article they wrote" isn't really this one. DMacks ( talk) 20:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
I agree that this is not a voting but rather opinions sharing. I meant that the creator of the page reacted weird by offering to speedily delete the page after PROD, which speaks about their lack of knowledge about Wikipedia basic rules. However, AFD process requires me to notify the original creator of the page regardless of their level of contribution — and so I did. -- Onetimememorial ( talk) 17:50, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete or Merge. Other than the LA Times piece (number 4, from 1998) there is no in-depth coverage on him in reliable sources that could be used to pass WP:GNG. Even the LA Times piece appears to predate his professional career and has no relation to any of the other claims to notability. He doesn't appear to qualify for WP:AUTHOR either, since I don't see any of his works being discussed or reviewed by any notable publications. His PhD dissertation is his most cited work, with a grand total of 3 citations on Google Scholar. Being CEO of International Education Corporation is not enough to pass WP:BUSINESSPERSONOUTCOME. As for the legal actions against the IEC, I think the guidelines from WP:NOTWHOSWHO are relevant: "Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic." The coverage of the action against IEC seems only to contain passing mentions of the subject, so it may be worth merging some of the content from this article to International Education Corporation.

    • Delete. I agree with the analysis of the nominator. I realize now that Wikipedia's standards of notability are much higher than I thought at the time when I created and published this page. It is very different now from my original version. Also, the reviewing standards in 2013 were not so good as they are now, so this article wouldn't stand a chance in 2022.

I am just not seeing evidence of notability, though there's likely COI creation and ongoing COI edits adding every bare mention of this guy, so I think everything that's available out there about him is actually already cited to in the article. Google brings up nothing. I did a source assessment, which is at Talk:Todd Mason#Notability. There's a single instance of sigcov in local business press but otherwise just nothing outside of stuff generated from press releases, bare mentions, routine business coverage of his companies rather than him, affiliated, interviews, etc., and most of it is in the same iffy media. Valereee ( talk) 18:12, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Agreed on lack of reliable sources. Mr. Mason needs to use a personal website and an IMDB page if he wants to list his career details extensively. His LinkedIn and other social media is extremely self promoting (no value judgement) and this article is in line with the rest of his internet presence. The majority of this (unsourced) content was added by a single user that hasn't touched any other articles, and I would guess is Mr. Mason himself or someone he hired. I'm not alone in this thought judging by the WP:DISCLOSE banner already on the article. PDXBart ( talk) 18:30, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Delete: The excellent source analysis Valereee has at Talk:Todd_Mason#Notability highlights the problems with this article. There's a lot of sources, but only one really good source. Many of the rest focus on a company where Mason was working and as he's been high up in several, there's a quote or two from him. That's not helpful for notability. There are areas where the article seems to exaggerate claims beyond what the article supports ("Mason created the world’s first major REMI Broadcast Hub") when the source, a press release from his company, only says it's doubling the capacity of an existing hub a year after opening the company's first center. That's correctable by editing, but it's emblamatic of the problems in the article. Press releases, bio pages on his company's website, interviews, articles focusing on a company make up most of the sources. WP:CREATIVE is the notability guideline most appropriae, and I'm not seeing that being met. No solid sources that support him being an important figure or widely cited by peers. Nothing to back a significant new concept/technique. While he's been involved in a fair number of works, the sources are mostly mentions of the company with at best a passing mention of Mason. The article notes that he's won several Telly Awards (but no reliable sources to support Mason winning), but this award doesn't feel like a significant award. The fact sheet from 5ish years ago [11] notes that the judging isn't competitive, with each nominee individually graded and upwards of 25% of entries with at least a Bronze award across a rather large number of categories. With CREATIVE not met, the fallback is WP:GNG and a single good quality source doesn't meet that. Ravensfire ( talk) 22:00, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. One reason that the page reads like his promotional materials is because parts of it at least have been copied from them. Some of that remains despite all the clean-up that's been done; I've blanked the page and listed it at WP:CP – the editor responsible has more than 30 edits to the page and I have neither the time nor the inclination to check every one of them today. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 17:22, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. I don't really understand why this has been renominated 3 times. It seems fairly clear that the subject is not notable by any criteria. Media coverage is extremely sparse, and I can't even find any information on the Washington Business Journal's editorial policies which could confirm that the coverage is not part of paid public relations. Chagropango ( talk) 08:08, 8 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, Valereee's table lays it out clearly, and my own BEFORE identifies no other sourcing on which we could write an article. Subject also appears to want it deleted and while we don't need to comply with wishes, no sense in not since notability is thin at best. Star Mississippi 01:56, 9 August 2022 (UTC) reply

In the WP library, reviews of her work include "Play About Eastern European Middle Class" ( The Warsaw Voice, 2016, "The article reviews the play "The Lake," directed by Yana Ross") and a citation for "Więcej niż węch / More Than Smell" (Didaskalia, (131):48-54, "Pola Sobaś-Mikołajczyk reviews Yana Ross's play Heart of a Dog"); on ProQuest, there is 2022 coverage in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, e.g. "Die Spur des Geldes: Salzburgs Festspiele und die Solway Group", e.g. (Google translated, "Yana Ross told online theater portal Nachtkritik.de that it's "very important that the festival belongs to the artists and not the sponsors, so it's our duty to taxpayers and the public to do the work they commission. Therefore we have no right to stop the work, but we have the right to draw the festival's attention to the mistakes made."") and "Ringelreih mit Knarre"; there is similar 2022 coverage in Welt am Sonntag, e.g. "Toxische Töne", Die Presse, e.g. "Die Klassikszene ist unter Druck" and "Kulturelle Kollateraldellen als Folge des Ukraine-Kriegs", and Die Welt, e.g. "Eine prüde Parade" (translation: "The only thing that caused a scandal in the new version by ten writers was the way the Latvian-born American director Yana Ross and the Swiss author Lukas Bärfuss attracted media attention about the "toxic" festival sponsorship", with additional commentary on the production).

Request to delete Articles for deletion.-- B Jambulingam ( talk) 08:55, 30 July 2022 (UTC) reply
Vanakkam, @ B Jambulingam I am not convinced that this is a notable temple. This seems to be a run of the mill temple that are found in every street in Tamil Nadu, cities. There is nothing in the page or the refs that make it notable. The build and temple architecture are fairly new and there is no claim from a reliable source or ASI about the ancient history. The claims of old history are promotional and should be taken with a pinch of salt.
As claimed, this temple might be a part of the 88 temples of Thanjavur Palace Devastanam Temples. If so, then this Thanjavur Nisumbasuthani Temple should be listed on the page of the Thanjavur Palace Devastanam Temples along with the refs. Based on the sources found so far, I see no reason why every minor temple in this group of temples need to be covered in a separate Wikipedia page. Only historically and architecturally significant temples that are covered by independent media should have their own Wikipedia page. Venkat TL ( talk) 10:18, 30 July 2022 (UTC) reply

There are no reliable sources online containing information or coverage of this restaurant aside from a Vox article that only trivially mentions it (two sentences) along with dozens of other closed restaurants. One of the sources for this page, an archived page from the Oregon Encyclopedia community-driven website, has a bio on Henry Thiele along with what look like notable sources.

    @ Another Believer Carrying over conversation on my talk page since it's relevant here too:
    I did in fact run searches for RS for this article before nominating. The sources you've added do help, but aside from the book they all seemed WP:TRIVIAL to me. I agree that the book coverage, which I missed in my searches, could count as significant, and uncovering things like this is the point of AfD discussion. I would however suggest that if you're making good faith efforts to encourage better editing that revision notes like "yet another source; nominating editor sure didn't try hard..." might work better if following WP:NICE, WP:NEWBIES, and WP:AFDEQ. I appreciate your feedback regardless. I will leave this AfD open for consensus building that the book coverage in addition to other trivial coverage satisfies notability.
    As for slowing down, I am simply following the Wikipedia "motto and...invitation to the newcomers [to be] WP:BOLD", which also suggests more experienced editors do not "thwart the efforts of newcomers who take that invitation at face value". I am making good faith efforts to clean up articles in the area that I live. If you have further questions about my motives or more detailed constructive feedback, you're welcome to leave it on my talk page. I have not until now received feedback across my AfD nominations that they were made carelessly. PDXBart ( talk) 14:50, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

    I am not saying the existence of that sources makes the article pass notability.

  • Comment. I tend to agree with the OP, that it would make a whole lot more sense to have a bio of the clearly notable founder, than of the restaurant, but I don't feel strongly enough to vote "delete." However, I want to strenuously disagree about the dismissal of the Oregon Encyclopedia as a reliable source. It should be regarded as one of the best sources available on Oregon history. This is a publication born of the scholars of the state historical society and one of the largest public universities in the state. from their FAQ: "The Oregon Encyclopedia does not accept unsolicited entries. The encyclopedia is an authoritative publication, which means we adhere to a scholarly editorial process."

That a fire occurred in a nightclub does not make that fire notable. Fires, like bus accidents, occur all the time, and though tragic, they are not usually considered notable unless the death toll is unusually high or the fire occurred for unusual reasons.

  • Keep. It has a double-digit death toll. The fire took longer to extinguish because of flammable soundproofing material in the building. It's nothing like a standard house fire with a single-digit death toll. There's no minimum death toll needed to establish notability & many of our articles about fires had low-double-digit death tolls. What are you saying isn't the case in regard to this fire that is in regard to the dozens of other fires that have their own WP articles? Jim Michael 2 ( talk) 11:43, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, per latest edit by me. As the the author of the counterpart article on Thai Wikipedia, I have translated it to English. Many sources are available and investigations are still ongoing (plus, corruption is highly suspected by the media as well - leading to even more investigations into the incidence), of course, mostly in Thai. IMO, It is a "notable enough" incident as it had two digits deaths and was the first of its kind in the given region. Such incident is rare in Thailand and has since sparked widespread debates and talks on Thai media. Please allow me to fix the article and please kindly provide me recommendations for the article to be improved. Thank you. -- Chainwit. ( talk) 14:00, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
Then wouldn't it be better to wait a little, until the long-term significance and notability of the event are clear?

It was never one line; it was three when I created it. The UK source I used - The Independent - has been repeatedly removed. Many reliable mainstream sources outside Thailand are covering it, including Al Jazeera, the BBC, CBS, CNN, The Guardian, NPR, Reuters & The Washington Post. I don't know why you're claiming that there's a lack of media coverage of it. Enter Thailand fire into Google & you'll see the coverage. Jim Michael 2 ( talk) 16:18, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I don't know if the discussions on (1) "possible a corruption case" (of course, await further investigations) (2) "similarities to the 2009 Bangkok nightclub fire" - stirring criticisms and (3) "being the first disaster to occurred in the district" would suffice the notability of the article (which is the reason the article was put for deletion). These are all the topics I found interesting and have so far made the case relatively more notable in comparison to countless other fires with similar death tolls in Thailand. If these aren't the case, then proceed the deletion process as I cannot find any further interesting notes in the incidence. Ps, if it's the case that this cannot be an article on its own; is it possible to have the content included in maybe related articles Santika Club fire or Sattahip District? -- Chainwit.

WP:EVENT#Don't rush to delete articles. PS The comparison to bus accidents is actually quite illuminating. A bus accident with a similar death toll wouldn't register as they occur all the time in Thailand.

Article unjustifiably created, and evidently/likely by the subject of the article (or a direct affiliate or acquaintance), which constitutes a conflict of interest anyway – Furthermore, this is not a truly notable or significant individual, musician, or public figure. They should not have a Wikipedia entry. Nor should this person be listed under North Atlanta High’s notable alumni, 1995 births, Living people, or any of the several other categories and articles to/on which they are linked.

As a musical act, they were never signed under any major (or independent) label or imprint, have never charted on any official record charts (0 results on Billboard for instance), and have no noteworthy (let alone legitimate) social media audience or following. It is suspected that their Verified check marks (Instagram and Facebook) were swindled, primarily due to the existence of this very Wikipedia article (and under the guise of public relevance). In addition, no trace whatsoever of their music (or any other significant work) even exists online at this point:

• In previous years, they simply posted their homemade music on their personal SoundCloud and YouTube ― to minimal plays and impressions

• They were never (and still are not) on any major streaming platforms or music services

• All their online content is removed altogether (absolutely no content is on YouTube or SoundCloud or streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, etc.) plus all their social media profiles (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat) have by now been emptied, hidden, made private, and/or abandoned for an extended time

They seemingly have transitioned all their online profiles from “Musical/recording artist” to the “Social media influencer” type. Therefore, they are indeed using their illegitimate social media Verification and misleading Wikipedia entry in hopes of attracting real followers instead of bot or purchased followers.

Finally, the article’s “sources” are not reliable and are all unknown, local, niche, and/or personal webpages directly connected to the subject (who, again, most likely authored this entry or had it authored on their own behalf). Moreover, every “source” is from fall to winter of 2016, with many of the links being dead, having expired domains, or being largely empty/devoid of any content (e.g., the subject’s very own, self-published tonibaldwin.com).

So, while trying to replace the sea of press releases with some RS, I was surprised to find there's almost no independent, secondary coverage of the company online. Just a ton of press releases, and passing mentions in the financial press.

The article as created was pretty over-the-top marketing [21], complete with ™ symbols and gushing self-promo quotes from the CEO. This was made even worse last month by Special:Contributions/Purple_2020, whose COI was pretty obvious.

Editors User:WikiDan61, User:Canterbury Tail and I cleaned out most of the blatant marketing and lame attempts to connect the company with COVID response, but what remains is sourced only by press releases and sponsored content, and doesn't assert notability per WP:CORP or WP:GNG.

Sorry, but where does it say that being "Xth oldest" does not make a subject notable? With all due respect, obviously you are not from the Philippines where Tropical Hut is considered to be an institution as far as restaurants go. It's notable enough to be have been mentioned many times in Philippine literature. I've added a few instances of these to the article. - Object404 ( talk) 11:44, 22 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Merge whatever is appropriate and Redirect to Mercury Drug#Tropical Hut changed !vote to Merge Delete This is a company/organization therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply. There are particular criteria for establishing the notability of a company. Also, unless blatantly obvious (e.g. Blog posts, Social Media (including twitter) etc), I'm assuming all the sources are reliable and the publishers are corporately independent from the topic organization - but there are a lot more requirements than just "RS" or mentions-in-passing "coverage" for establishing notability - we require *multiple* references that contains deep or significant in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) also containing "Independent Content". As per WP:SIRS *each* reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Here's an analysis of the references (excluding PRIMARY sources and twitter):
    • Equire profile on the "Oldest Food Chains in the Philippines" but unfortunately is merely a very brief (4 sentences) description with no in-depth information, fails WP:CORPDEPTH
    • Interaksyon article is a commentary on various tweets, social media is generally not WP:RS and the article has no in-depth information, fails WP:CORPDEPTH
    • Another Interaksyon article is also commentary on social media mentions, not WP:RS and also fails CORPDEPTH
    • Manila Bulletin article is yet another commentary on social media. It provides more details but attributes those to "its profile on Jobstreet". Again, no in-depth information and fails both CORPDEPTH and possibly ORGIND.
    • The book Major Companies of the Far East and Australasia 1993/94 is a mere listing containing an adress and phone number and an activities tag of "Supermarket operators". Nothing more. Fails CORPDEPTH
    • Bloomberg profile is based on information provided by the company and is considered trivial coverage, fails CORPDEPTH and ORGIND
    • CNN "In Photos" article is inspired by the recent "nostalgia" initiated by twitter in 2022 and is a reflection on the journalists' memories and visit to one of the branches sprinkled with other people's reflections from social media. Unfortunately it is also very light-weight containing no in-depth information and fails CORPDEPTH
    • This Yahoo news article is also a commentary on the same recent wave of nostalgia and mentions the "hiring new staff" company announcment. Also fails CORPDEPTH.
    • The remaining five books referenced in the article are mere mentions (as also described in the article) and also fails CORPDEPTH
None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability of the company, most even acknowledge that not much is known, none of the "reviews" provide more than a brief mention of the company.
I searched for other references and one that appeared to contain detailed information is available on StudyMoose (a source of "free essays" according to the website) which was written in October 2016 and predates the references above. It isn't a reliable source though. I also came across this essay/document on PDFCoffee which also appears to contain in-depth information but I am unable to find an original which would meet WP:RS. Even the metadata on their profile on WIX here contains details which appear in this article but which predate it. There is a COPYVIO concern in relation to some of the content in the article. All in all, none of the references meet NCORP criteria and nearly all of the information is either copied from a PRIMARY source or fails WP:RS. HighKing ++ 15:02, 25 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Due to the sources found not meeting the set criteria at WP:NCORP, as they either lack in-depth or independent coverage. Being the "7th oldest food chain" can't be used to establish notability. Hell, even the oldest food chain wouldn't be automatically notable, because NCORP is one of the most strict guidelines that requires sources and only sources to establish notability. When the sources don't meet the criteria set at NCORP, the rest is irrelevant. ~Styyx Talk? 11:03, 27 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, don't merge. Either this is notable or not. The Mercury Drug article isn't particularly long, but if it does get to be expanded and the content for Tropical Hut gets to be split, we'd be back with the same predicament here. Either the restaurant chain is notable or not. At this point, the article goes above and beyond WP:GNG, as there are multiple in-depth WP:RS about the company. Now if this article does not meet any other SNGs, that's not my problem as it does pass GNG, but if certain quarters will insist on using an SNG to delete this article, GNG vs SNG debate should happen elsewhere. (The article has some laughable references RN now, like a specific tweet from a nobody... sure that bloats the reference count. Howard the Duck ( talk) 22:42, 31 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Per WP:SNG (literally the section below GNG), subject-specific guidelines in some cases "help clarify when a standalone article can or should be written". They "can also provide examples of sources and types of coverage considered significant for the purposes of determining notability, such as [...] the strict significant coverage requirements spelled out in the SNG for organizations and companies". GNG requires reliable, independent and significant coverage. This company doesn't meet the GNG, because the available sourcing isn't considered to be independent for companies and for-profit organizations (because WP:ORGIND is a thing). So this actually doesn't go "above and beyond GNG", because it's not met at all. ~Styyx Talk? 11:40, 1 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Two quick points, Howard my good duck. First, you say the article goes above and beyond WP:GNG, as there are multiple in-depth WP:RS about the company - that's not the test for GNG (or even going far beyond it), we need more than mere RS as sources. Second, as Styyx says, NCORP is a thing which we can ignore under exceptional circumstances and default to GNG, but you haven't made any such case for that here. HighKing ++ 20:33, 1 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    With all due respect, the references are over and beyond what GNG looks for. "Social media" mentions are no different from what RS would do interviewing randoms on the street on what they noticed during a crime scene, or ESPN asking Tom Brady or Lionel Messi (ripping off the "based on information provided by the athlete") what he felt during the game. This is just the 21st century way of doing things. The Philippine Star, Manila Bulletin, CNN and Yahoo! News Philippines are all RS. AFAIK, they're not related to Mercury Drug (apparently the parent of this restaurant chain), and passes GNG.
    Citing social media directly is not RS. FWIW, the article is guilty of doing that. RS citing social media is still RS. Howard the Duck ( talk) 13:28, 2 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    Which reminds me of when I had to do some research to clarify an erroneous assumption by media outlets regarding the app used by Kelly Rowland when she "texted" Nelly in " Dilemma". Android Authority cited a tweet from an ex-Symbian developer who pointed out that no, it wasn't Microsoft Excel on that Nokia. Back on topic, you do have a point about social media posts being cited by RSes as akin to on-the-spot interviews. The witness may or may not be right, but it's still reporting nonetheless.
    What we do need is a "smoking gun" of some kind to firmly establish Tropical Hut's notability, e.g. if it's of seminal importance or more to it. Blake Gripling ( talk) 23:56, 2 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    There are so many smoking gun references, I've lost count. WP:RS can be occasionally wrong, but this doesn't make them no longer WP:RS. That doesn't happen here until proven otherwise (in other words, WP:RS interviewing random people about something doesn't make it wrong or not WP:RS, until another WP:RS makes it so). Now if WP:RS are wrong multiple times, time to list it at the WP:RSNB. Howard the Duck ( talk) 23:24, 8 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Keep You made an argument for improving the article, not deleting it, since the article is for the most part a list of pages and not something that needs original research to exist.

ForksForks ( talk) 18:21, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

@ NemesisAT: Thanks you for the rationale. My opinion is that there is no "List of bridges known for strikes" in any article. One needs to do original research to piece it together. Also what is the criteria to make the list? Does a bridge make the list if it is struck twice or five times? Bruxton ( talk) 18:42, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
Forgive me for butting in, please just tell me to leave it alone if you would rather I not contribute to the AFD due to my authorship.
The standard would be that the bridge is known specifically as a serial offender. So articles that generally mention that the bridge was struck would not be in scope. It would definitely be OR if we were trying to set a threshold for what bridges count, or trying to gather stats on how many times bridges get hit. This article [24] is a great example of what I'm talking about, where it documents the bridges notoriety and even gives examples of previous media coverage.
The point about being a composition of disparate things and not sourced from a central list is interesting, but based on articles I've reviewed this is not a common standard. See List of incidents at Walt Disney World and its companion articles. Generally its unreasonable to expect us to just copy a previous news outlets reporting to generate lists.

One way of measuring it (and not entire objective, I appreciate) would be whether a bridge has been deemed notle (ie, has an article) and the sources on that article mostly focus on bridge strikes. NemesisAT ( talk) 21:37, 21 July 2022 (UTC) reply

While there is information about the individual bridges being prone to strikes, I fail to see adequate sources that discuss strike-prone bridges as a group or set to meet WP:LISTN. Without that, the inclusion criteria become unclear; it becomes subjective as to how many strikes over a certain period of time are needed to be for a bridge to be considered appropriate for this list, as alluded to by Bruxton above. -- Kinu  t/ c 19:33, 21 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    Would like to reiterate that we cannot and should not be in the business of counting / gathering data. I would assert that multiple times certain bridges gain notoriety, in general, for their propensity for strikes.

Two editors have prodded the article because the person does not meet out WP:NPOL guideline. The person placed fifth in a Republican primary. They reached the office of Treasurer for the Quapaw nation which has 13,000-acres of territory and only 3,240 (2011) enrolled tribal members.

  • Keep: Hi all, I'm going to copy my comments from the talk page below for ease of access. The main reason I think this article should meet WP:NPOL is because I think being an elected official of a federally recognized tribe meets WP:NPOL. I know the policy is silent on tribal governments and their politicians entirely, but they function more similar to a state government than a local government so I think it's reasonable to argue that the policy should include tribal elected officials. The treasurer office is part of the legislative body of the Quapaw Nations government. I'd also like to repeat I think it's a misreading of WP:NPOL to cite the size of the government's jurisdiction or population as a reason its de-facto unnotable.-- TulsaPoliticsFan ( talk) 01:45, 29 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Comment: WP:NPOL is in favor of including "Politicians ... who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels." In the United States, federally recognized tribes often function in roles equivalent to state governments (having 3 branches of gov, exercising civil and criminal jurisdiction over territory, being elected democratically by voters) and their elected politicians should fall under "similar systems of government." Given that, I think Barker actually meets WP:NPOL. He's an elected official of the Quapaw Nation and that should meet WP:NPOL. Additionally, the Quapaw Nation has 6 people in their category, Category:Quapaw, expanding coverage is appropriate. His page is of similar length and source quality of other tribal politicians (see Milton Bluehouse Sr.). Category:Navajo Nation politicians has categories for Tribal Councilors and judges, similar coverage for other tribal nations should be in line with wiki guidelines.-- TulsaPoliticsFan ( talk) 17:29, 23 July 2022 (UTC) Edit: added signature later, original comment 04:29, 23 July 2022‎ reply
    • Comment:I wouldn't go as far to argue they are equivalent of the United States federal government, but for WP:NPOL purposes I think they're the equivalent of state/provincial office. Focusing on the size of the tribe by population or territory I think is a mistake for WP:NPOL application since there are countries smaller than the Quapaw Nation (see Niue and Vatican City). We also don't enforce size requirements for states- Wyoming has 9,000 voters in each state house district, but elected officials to the Wyoming House of Representatives still meet WP:NPOL (This article has more sourcing and content than say Jim Roscoe of Wyoming). The logic of why WP:NPOL applies to all state elected officials should be the same for tribal governments. Especially since they are sovereign nations with jurisdiction, branches of government, and territory. Expanding the Quapaw Nation's coverage on wikipedia is also probably good post McGirt v. Oklahoma, since the tribe is now exercising criminal jurisdiction again in its reservation. Additionally, federal provisions like Treatment as States (TAS) provisions mean that tribal officials like Barker get to write environmental policy usually reserved to state or federal governments. Wiki articles on not just Barker, but tribal elected officials in the United States should meet WP:NPOL in the same way state elected officials do. I totally understand the skepticism given his recent run for office which does not meet WP:NPOL, but I hope you WP:GOODFAITH and understand the creation of this article is motivated not by his recent run for office, but because he is a tribal elected official in Oklahoma and I'm trying to expand coverage of tribal governments as part of the Oklahoma wiki project. TulsaPoliticsFan ( talk) 17:27, 23 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I don't think the community has consistently interpreted WP:NPOL to include tribal officials (see Four Guns (judge closed as keep) and Charlotte Hallmark closed as redirect). I do not doubt the logic that TulsaPoliticalFan describes. With that being said, WP:NPOL is premised upon the fact that there is WP:V coverage about elected national and statewide legislators and officials. I cannot begin to assert that all tribal councilmembers meet WP:GNG, nor could I suggest that all principal leaders/chiefs would meet GNG. I do think there is enough coverage to describe the government of most tribal nations and include the list of officials who held offices in those nations (see Supreme Court of the Navajo Nation). -- Enos733 ( talk) 23:55, 31 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    Thank you for sharing both of these previous AfDs. While the editors don't mention it in Charlotte Hallmark's RfD, I think it's interesting and worth noting that they were a state recognized tribal politician and not a federally recognized tribal official. Editors in the Four Guns AfD noted that they were a high ranking politician in a federally recognized tribe who had treaties with the United States as a sovereign nation. I don't want to be misconstrued as implying state recognized tribal officials don't meet WP:NPOL, I don't think I have an opinion on that right now. However, I do think federally recognized tribal officials do meet WP:NPOL and the conclusion of the Four Guns AfD seems to support that conclusion.

Events like this are usually considered notable under the assumption that coverage is likely to exist for them, but I highly doubt that this 1889 solar eclipse, which peaked in an ocean near Madagascar, has generated any coverage, let alone enough to warrant an article.

  • Keep, per my reasoning at the AfD for solar Saros 162 (which closed "keep"), which I will reproduce here. The rationale for deleting or redirecting individual eclipse articles has been, so far, that they can be included in these list pages; it needlessly complicates things to start rummaging through the list pages themselves. As has been said, there is a large list of these cycles in the navbox, as they are all equal in the sense of being verifiably extant (whether they are ongoing, have ceased, or have not yet begun). Since it's possible to accurately predict eclipses thousands of years into the future, and the human race has successfully done so for hundreds (if not thousands) of years, it seems like it would be trivial to find adequate sourcing here. There's simply no chance of this not happening: the only thing that could cause it not to happen involves the literal destruction of the Earth, and if that happens, I don't think it matters whether Wikipedia had an article on it. jp× g 09:59, 23 July 2022 (UTC) reply

After searching, I don't see a pass of WP:NCORP. There are many reviews of their games but little independent coverage about the company itself. [27], [28], [29], and [30] are SIGCOV but none are remotely independent, all being based on interviews with the company's founder(s).

  • Keep Apologies for my misunderstanding and newness with this process.. I saw the request for the page on the Video Games wikiproject, so I attempted to start writing, but I realized that I couldn't find notable sources. That being said, the games Chicory and Tunic are two relatively large releases published by Finji with additional development provided by the team. I do understand that the lack of sources is problematic. I did add some notable sources to the talk page, which might be useful for building it out. Pizzarush ( talk) 16:09, 8 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Kew OhSo (artist)

Biography of a living person that was written to praise its subject rather than to describe him neutrally, but does not establish general notability. Nothing in this article describes the sort of significant coverage of the subject by reliable sources that would establish general notability. The title Kew OhSo has already been ECP-create-protected due to repeated recreation, so that creation with a disambiguation phrase is an attempt to game the naming of the article.

In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.

  • Redirect to CLAMP. Keep - In searches online and in the WP library, I found one book review ( Publishers Weekly, 2006), a mention at p. 98 of her as 'the only ex-CLAMP member to have made an impact on the Western market' in The Rough Guide to Manga (2009), and a 2011 mention in an Anime News Network post, i.e. "Some of the early members, notably Leeza Sei and Tamayo Akiyama, left the group for careers as solo manga-ka, but none have been a fraction as successful as the four women who stuck together." The article includes wikilinks to Mouryou Kiden and Hyper Rune, which have no sources, Secret Chaser, which includes a review ( IGN, 2012) identifying her as a former CLAMP member, what appears to be a crowd-sourced review also referencing her former work with CLAMP, a French-language capsule review for Vol. 2 noting her CLAMP background, and an Anime News Network announcement. The other wikilinked publication in the article is Zyword, which does not include the PW review noted above, but in its article has the Amazon page and the book itself as references, and an Anime News Network review of Vol. 1 which describes her as a CLAMP alumni. At this time, there appears to be support for a redirect to CLAMP, but insufficient support for a standalone article per WP:NAUTHOR/ WP:CREATIVE or WP:BASIC/ WP:GNG.

I disagree that the Mania review is crowdsourced and unreliable; as per WP:ANIME/RS#Situational, Mania is considered to be a reliable source for reviews outside of the Maniacs section, which that article was not published in, thus it is a reliable source. When combined with the IGN review, that is two reviews, thus making it meet WP:NBOOK. Zyword also meets NBOOK (at least you don't seem to be denying it does). The other series with articles are old, so they may have coverage in older English or French sources (which I will look through and see what, if anything, I can find. EDIT: Found this review in French and this review in German for Mouryou Kiden, which both seem fairly substantial, thus making it meet NBOOK). But even without those two, I think that between two notable series and some independent articles about her other series, she at least comes close to meeting WP:NAUTHOR 3. Link20XX ( talk) 03:53, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
Thank you for the WP:ANIME/RS#Situational link - I was trying to assess the site based on its appearance as a crowd-sourced fan site - the WP:ANIME link says, "Editors must be particularly careful the reviews are from AnimeOnDVD/Mania staffers and NOT from the user-submitted "Maniacs" section. When searching for reviews, those that have a URL format of http://www.mania.com/*title*_*somenumbers*.html and that follow the original AoD review format are written by staff reviewers and are considered reliable and usable for articles. "Maniac" reviews written by users which are not RS can be detected by the lack of structured format and a URL in the form of http://www.mania.com/*username*/review/*title*_*somenumbers*.html", and this url does not have a username in the title. I will adjust my comment and !vote. Beccaynr ( talk) 04:17, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP of an unelected political figure, not adequately sourced as having a strong notability claim. The claim here is that he's a former chief of staff to the speaker of a provincial legislature, which is not an "inherently" notable role that guarantees a free pass into Wikipedia -- he would have to pass WP:GNG on his sourceability to warrant a Wikipedia article.
But there are just two footnotes here, both of which are relatively short and unsubstantive sources that just cover him in the context of having briefly been in the news for investigating allegations of other people's impropriety, in other words doing his job. For the record, one of the two people he investigated was formally charged and the other was not, but this article isn't telling you that, and there are WP:BLP problems arising from its failure to tell you that — this was most likely created as a WP:COATRACK to get the criminal allegations into Wikipedia for "naming and shaming" purposes without actually trying to write WP:PERP-failing BLPs of the people Mullen investigated.

  • (Weak) Delete: The Hawkeye piece is good, but under WP:NCORP there should be multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources for a company to be notable and I don't see evidence of more than that one, an indication of non-notability (especially a US-based modern-day company). I wouldn't call the edm.com piece significant coverage about the company itself (it's a few paragraphs about its subsidiary). I'm also slightly skeptical of its independence given [32], which states it covers the music of labels it partners with and I'm not sure of how to check whether FiXT has partnered with them. The rest of the sources cited in the article are either interviews, sourced to the company, non-significant, or is a press release. As to its bands, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED (the label may not be notable even if some of its artists are).

    • Comment Thank you, Anon, for commenting. I don't know the reason for your anonymity, but assume good faith. --As I hope you do for me. I am quite aware of notability guidelines. I have two concerns over Lenticel's PROD, then AfD. First, that this is an abrupt effort against an article that has slow traffic, but is properly formed and non-promotional. I prefer we continue to allow it to gather improvements, versus killing it. But I completely agree it needs citations. My second concern is over many of the Fraternity and Sorority articles coming out of the Philippines, which, like UP Halcyon lack sources. We (experienced F&S volunteers) know that Philippine schools have a robust fraternity and sorority culture. But these organizations are not promoted by school portals nor do they get much press -- in English, at least. The nation has almost 200 languages and dialects, thirteen of which have a million or more speakers. Do publications in any of these languages offer citations? When we search for citations in JSTOR it appears we are looking at English sources (correct me if I am wrong.) To ignore the other languages would be unfair, and dismissive of those Philippine cultural/linguistic groups. (Thus Lenticel, I do not intend to be patronizing in any way. Sorry if that was how you read this.) With all this in mind, it is why I asked for help from the Rescue Squadron team.

Fellow editors, I don't know what is motivating this rush to kill this article rather than to improve it. This is a small organization, but valid, notable to their community, and the article isn't just thin promotion like so many, many others. Killing it is an example of Deletionism, a harmful tendency within Wikipedia. Perhaps Lenticel, normally a reasonable contributor, has decided to fight this battle because he/she took offense at me for questioning the PROD.

    • Comment Thank you, JWilz12345. You raise an important point, also alluded to by Dream Focus. The group operates without controversy, and without seeking publicity. They are not the subject of a scandal... Hence, they face a situation as do many of the "good" fraternities and sororities, in that they lack press coverage. Yet we've proven they are valid: they exist, and that they are notable to the college and its community: their awards. You've applied an overly broad interpretation of "Independent" here. The UP Halcyon group does not control what is on the College's website, nor vice-versa. The College was fully independent in its recognition of them.
This is a haphazard PROD, by a skilled admin who nevertheless does not have involvement with this category of organization articles. Rather than fix the page, he/she merely opted to kill it. I objected, and found two good sources. Cordially, I note that Wikipedia's rules regarding Deletion state that participants should have a reasonable level of [subject] competence, and elaborates on this, saying that "This means articles, categories or templates should not be nominated in a routine fashion, nor because one feels too lazy to check for sources, or if the content is still being built or improved." This is why I refrain from PRODing or voting on nominations regarding Australian Rules Football, or Rap Music. They're not in my sphere of competence. --What Lenticel may not know is that there are potentially 100,000 or 200,000 local fraternities that may desire a WP article. Our Project group itself only supports a few of these who meet a bar of inclusion (tenure over 10 years, usually a physical location, external references, etc.). The Halcyon group meets our bar of inclusion, which is very stringent, documented, and consistent.
I urge review of votes here, now that the page is improved with these references and clarifications. Jax MN ( talk) 17:01, 9 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • You need to take a close look at our guidelines and especially WP:NORG's criteria for establishing notability. Since this is the third time you've commented after someone's !vote to mention that fact you've added references, you should also be aware of WP:BLUDGEON. You are not an inexperienced editors and so you should be aware we have various policies and guidelines. Since this is an organization, WP:NORG guidelines apply. There are two sections in particular - WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND which essentially mean that we require multiple references that provide in-depth and significant coverage on the topic (not students or members or events, but the actual organization) which contains original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Your first reference from University of the Philippines Visayas Tacloban College is a mention in a list. This is trivial coverage, fails CORPDEPTH. In addition, the university is affiliated with the organisation and this reference would also fail ORGIND. Your second reference from University of the Philippines Open University marks the 48th anniversity of UP Visayas Tacoblan College. This article has no attributed journalist/author so it could be argued it fails WP:RS as we don't know its origin. Leaving that aside, the topic organization has a mention-in-passing (one sentence) and has no in-depth information *about* the organization, fails CORPDEPTH. Bottom line, despite your urging and your protestations, you appear to misunderstand the criteria for notability and you are obviously closely connected with the org. Wikipedia is not a forum for promotion or advertising or to be manipulated for "awareness", nor is it a Yellow Pages or some sort of directory. HighKing ++ 20:35, 9 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I agree that the subject is marginally notable and the article is thin on sources, but what tips me in favor of keeping is that this group won an award from the university. That does make the group notable within student organizations in the Philippines. Also, the article is well written for a starter. Finally, I believe diversity is important within the Wikipedia community. Sometimes that means understanding the challenges in finding what we consider traditional sources and/or English language sources. Would you even know whether or not a Philippine source was major or minor if there were more sources? The bottom line is that the university is a legitimate and independent source. It is credible and important in context of this topic. Keep the article--encourage the authors improve it and bring more topics to Wikpedia. Rublamb ( talk) 19:36, 10 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    • We need to see an argument based on our policies/guidelines, not opinion. The award (from the university they're affiliated with) is insignificant. The rest of your argument (award=notable, well written article, diversity is important, challenges for non-English sourcing, bottom line plea, move along nothing to see) is opinion and not based on guidelines, etc. HighKing ++ 10:29, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
      Quoting from WP:JUSTAPOLICY "While merely citing a policy or guideline may give other editors a clue as to what the reasoning is, it does not explain specifically how the policy applies to the discussion at hand. When asserting that an article should be deleted, it is important to explain why." That is what I did--explain my reasoning. Sorry if my explanation did not match your opinion. So let me cite with guidelines to back my thoughts. WP:SURMOUNTABLE I agree that this article needs more sources to meet the criteria for notability. However, this problem is surmountable because with more time for its editors to explore non-English sources, Philippine source, and non-digital sources, this article can be improved. I am not using the "sources must exist somewhere" defense, but rather my professional understanding of content seeking in countries like the Philippines, along with the credibility of the existing sources. WP:ITSLOCAL This is my primary defense, what you refer to as diversity. Quoting from ITSLOCAL, "Stating an article should be deleted because you and most of the world do not know about it is akin to the I've never heard of it argument. Many subjects are esoteric, meaning that only a small crowd is familiar with them. ...The same is true about subjects only of interest to those in a single city, town, or region. People who live outside the area who have never visited there or done any research on the area will obviously be unlikely to have ever heard of them. But Wikipedia is not limited to subjects that everyone in the world knows or will have a good chance of knowing. Being a global encyclopedia, Wikipedia can cover a wide range of topics, many of them pertaining to the culture of a single country, language, or an ethnic group living in one part of the world. The people living in a single city or town and everything they have built around them are likewise a culture and society of their own." WP:IGNORINGATD Ultimately, I recommended retaining this article at this time because GNORINGATD says "The fact that a topic is not notable is not, in and of itself, valid grounds for deleting a page, its content, or its history." At a minimum, @ SBKSPP is correct that we should be recommending whether to keep or redirect/merge this content, rather than to simply delete. Rublamb ( talk) 14:39, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Thanks Rublamb, this is a great clarification. You've quoted extensively from an essay WP:ATA rather than our guidelines and to paraphrase, you're saying that it is likely that more sources exist and you also say that you rely primarily on ITSLOCAL. That section also says subject-specific notability standards in some areas of endeavour do require evidence that the sourceability is more than purely local — for instance, corporations and organizations have to meet WP:CORPDEPTH or WP:ORGDEPTH which applies here since this is an organization. Bottom line: we need to see sources or we need to at *least* have some confidence that sources are likely to exist. To date, the only sources originate from other organizations that are affiliated with the topic org. We have seen no indications that any other sources exist, or likely to exist. HighKing ++ 15:13, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    Just did a quick Google search and came up with several new sources which I added, including the only LGBTQ magazine in the Philippines, a division of the Philippine government, and a nationwide news outlet founded by by 2021 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa. Also, more sources from the university itself. I think this proves my point that there is more out there to be found as I have yet to search newspapers. Rublamb ( talk) 15:56, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • It's great you've added more sources, thank you. I think there's a misunderstanding in terms of what is required in order to establish notability though. I've summarised NCORP below.
  • This is a company/organization therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply.
  • We require references that discuss the *organization* in detail. As per WP:SIRS *each* reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability - the quantity of coverage is irrelevant so long as we find a minimum of two. WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the organization* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content".
  • "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. This is usually the criteria where most references fail. References cannot rely *only* on information provided by the organization - quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews fail ORGIND. Whatever is left over must also meet CORPDEPTH.
Looking at the new references (you added 6).
  • This from Philippine News Agency doesn't even mention the topic org, fails to establish notability, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from the University website also doesn't even mention the topic org, fails to establish notability, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from the LGBTQ magazine simply mentions the topic org by name, a mere mention-in-passing. It is not significant. Fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from Rappler is a list of organizations running various initiatives to provide relief from the aftermath of Typhoon Odette in December 2021. The list contains over 100 organizations of which the topic org is one. It is not significant, contains no in-depth information about the topic org (fails CORPDEPTH) and merely repeats information provided by the topic org (fails ORGIND).
  • This from the Dept of the Environment and Natural Resources is a mere mention-in-passing, is not significant, provides no detailed information about the topic org. Fails CORPDEPTH
  • Finally, this from the University of the Philippines website states that the "author" is the University Media and Public Relations Office. The publishing org is affiliated with the topic org. It does not provide any in-depth info, fails CORPDEPTH
None of those references come close to meeting NCORP's criteria for establishing notability. This isn't about proving that the topic organization exists. Mere mentions or inclusions in lists are classified as trivial coverage. Material produced and repeated in publications have no intellectual independence and fails ORGIND. HighKing ++ 17:06, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
I think you misunderstood. Others were posting to delete UP Halcyon because there were no sources and nothing in Google. I proved both points to be incorrect, lending credence to my belief that there is a reasonable expectation that more references exist in sources from the Philippines. While I did not find an extensive article in my very quick scan of Google, the sources I found do qualify as independent and reliable. These citations back much of the previously unsourced content of the article, and also document the work undertaken by the organization which collectively builds a case for notability. For example, two of the sources I added prove that this group has partnered with the local city and a branch of the Philippine government on projects. Yes, I cited two articles that are not about the group, but they are about the award the group won (as in, is the award notable) and the group's founder (as in, is this group associated with anyone of importance and why does this name matter). One of my sources, that you say is just a list, includes a short paragraph about the Halcyon project and a graphic. I will repeat what @ Jax MN wrote previously: a university and its student organizations are independent of each other. I used to work in a department of information and development for a small state university--student orgs, the alumni association, the university, the sports office, and even the library are not the same, have totally different PR staff, have their own social media, and rarely speak to each other. Saying that the university is not an independent source in this case would be like saying we cannot use the NCAA as a source on Kansas Jayhawks basketball because the KU is a member of the NCAA. Or that NASCAR cannot be used as a source on Kyle Busch because he participates in NASCAR races. Just like the Jayhawks and Busch cannot control what the larger organizations publish, UP Halcyon cannot control what the university PR office writes. As I have said several times, I agree that more sources are needed to prove notability--I think everyone posting here agrees on this point. I am just suggesting that we take a minute and consider that this group with more than 5K Facebook followers and the potential for extensive coverage fits the criteria to keep under development. At a minimum, its content should be merged rather than deleted. Rublamb ( talk) 19:37, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply

I haven't found any evidence of an "Anton Vogl", military officer, ever existing, and I'm giving up after having found Anton Vogl, present-day scientist, Anton Vogl, early 19th-century physician (see eg [33]), and Anton Vogl, early 19th-century historian (presumably not the same guy, but who knows - see [34]). Only the physician is indexed at DB (and no NDB article).

We have three works by college students - one about "Comics in the Evolving Media Landscape," another about "The tools of Webcomics: The infinite canvas and other innovations", and one more about "iComic: A Deeper Look Into the Adapting World of Cartoons"- in them, our subject gets mentioned respectively seven, two, and two times; a couple of corporate media-statements in French, one by Hachette that they'll be publishing something from Hiveworks, and another from Hiveworks' partner ActuaBD; and a post by Publishers Weekly about how comics have become "the King of Libraries" (the text on our subject takes one paragraph). All we're left with are the 2021 inclusion of Xellette Stillwell in Forbes "30 under 30" yearly list; a Comics Beat advertorial about our subject's "latest releases"; and a report focusing exclusively on Mari Naomi, "creator and maintenance person" for a number of databases, in which our subject is mentioned once as part of Naomi's past work; there's a great article titled "Nerds flame on at Flame Con: all the queer cheer is here" in which many persons, characters, publishers, and platforms are mentioned, plus our subject; Book Riot offers an article titled "5 Queer-friendly Comics Publishers You Should Know" and one of the five is out subject.

Advocacy article with no evidence of notability. The first two sources are not reliable. The third source is essentially primary in this context (being used to as "proponent" of the conspiracy theory) and does not by my reading express opposition to the scientific method. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:24, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment The article on astrology also calls its subject matter pseudoscientific, does that make it an advocacy article? Partofthemachine ( talk) 23:32, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    No, because there are multiple reliable sources debunking the concept of astrology provided there. This article does not have that, and the fourth source you just added, in addition to being primary, isn't even talking about the same thing that you claim the third source is a "proponent of". This article is WP:SYNTH of unrelated sources to make a point, and astrology is not. (Nor are WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS arguments valid at AfD anyway) * Pppery * it has begun... 23:37, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Come on man, it is trivial to find good, peer-reviewed publications on this topic [1] [2] [3] [4]. What this article needs is throwing out the rubbish sources currently present, integration of some solid academic sources, and then a rewrite that gets away from the finger-wagging "PSEUDOSCIENCE!" focus; this concept is principally one of traditional knowledge preservation and post-colonial cultural integration. This is an indigenous science project. We are ill served with a knee-jerk stub culled from newspaper headlines. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 07:50, 7 August 2022 (UTC) reply

    Sources are database websites (Soccerway), primary (club websites), interviews, and routine transfer news. I don't think it's enough, and I've seen many other articles deleted with similary sourcing. Nehme 1499 23:00, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    I feel like that's the majority of football player articles that will be written and sourced such as that though (transfer news articles that summarize their career/key match performances in articles about the match, and player interview articles). The sources in this article are not all are primary, there are multiple secondary ones, plus there are no database/soccerway sourcing in this article. Even the other Marlon Santos article, despite having played in Serie A and Ligue 1, still only has that same type of sourcing (transfer news and primary articles sourced in his article) and is written in the exact same form as this article is, as are the majority of basic football articles (basically unless a player is super elite, transfer articles will be the main articles about them, supplemented by game articles/year end team articles). My rule of thumb has always been if their transfers are covered in non-primary sources (with a decent enough amount of detail) such as [5], [6], [7], [8] then it's good. If it's primary team sites only I say no RedPatch ( talk) 23:35, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    I agree that the other Marlon's page is more or less to the same standard as this one's. However, there are many more in-depth sources online which are not being used, such as [9] and [10]. I don't see sources such as these in this article. Nehme 1499 00:04, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    That first one is definitely more detailed. GNG is pretty subjective anyways, so what meets it for one isn't necessarily enough for another. While there weren't really any "Outstanding" sources, I feel there were enough Okay-Good sources to meet it. It wasn't really a struggle for me to find sources to make it a decent Start article, sometimes it's a lot more difficult for me to find them. Feel there might be a more sources in Portuguese too that didn't pop up in an English google search. RedPatch ( talk) 03:33, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply

I did a thorough analysis of the page's sources (please, see the Talk page "Proposed improvement or deletion of the page" and found that there is not even one article with in-depth coverage of the subject.The article about Fardad Fateri was created in 2013 when the standards for sources were not followed properly. I checked the last nomination for deletion (no consensus) and found out that even the creator of the page Cbryant23 agreed that the page was not notable but forgot to vote accordingly, offering to speedily delete the page. I thoroughly checked the articles’ references and didn’t find any publications that can qualify to prove notability of the executive. Per WP’ requirement we need 3 in-depth articles about Fardad Fateri but there is not even one that can meet the requirement. The article is also poorly referenced and doesn’t cite the sources properly. Onetimememorial ( talk) 18:25, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

-- Onetimememorial ( talk) 23:16, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - I'm torn on this one. There's a long history of apparent WP:COI with the editors on this article trying to whitewash criticism, and deleting this article would serve in removing justifiably negative coverage of Fateri - especially since this article is the top Google search result for his name. However, I am also not finding any significant reliably sourced coverage of Fateri. There are a couple that mention his name and a couple sentences about his work background, but they're trivial mentions. If this article is deleted, I would at the very least recommend a lot of scrutiny on International_Education_Corporation and his other affiliated organizations to ensure they're not also suffering from COI. PDXBart ( talk) 19:19, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
PDXBart, I believe that notability of the page for Fardad Fateri and his involvement with International_Education_Corporation are two different issues and both have to be resolved in separate. If Fardad Fateri is found not notable to have a separate page on Wikipedia, then some of the information can be merged with other relevant pages including International_Education_Corporation.-- Onetimememorial ( talk) 17:49, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Onetimememorial, AFD is not a vote, but instead a discussion, and the closer reads the statements and closes based on their strengths. Cbryant23 commented in the previous discussion; it is irrelevant whether they specifically summarized their position with a keyword such as "keep". It's also not their WP:OWN page, so it's only of minor relevance what they now think of it. I note that much of their original content was excised editorially as being inappropriate; I'll WP:AGF that they now have second thoughts about the subject itself, but one might reasonbly say that "the article they wrote" isn't really this one. DMacks ( talk) 20:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
I agree that this is not a voting but rather opinions sharing. I meant that the creator of the page reacted weird by offering to speedily delete the page after PROD, which speaks about their lack of knowledge about Wikipedia basic rules. However, AFD process requires me to notify the original creator of the page regardless of their level of contribution — and so I did. -- Onetimememorial ( talk) 17:50, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete or Merge. Other than the LA Times piece (number 4, from 1998) there is no in-depth coverage on him in reliable sources that could be used to pass WP:GNG. Even the LA Times piece appears to predate his professional career and has no relation to any of the other claims to notability. He doesn't appear to qualify for WP:AUTHOR either, since I don't see any of his works being discussed or reviewed by any notable publications. His PhD dissertation is his most cited work, with a grand total of 3 citations on Google Scholar. Being CEO of International Education Corporation is not enough to pass WP:BUSINESSPERSONOUTCOME. As for the legal actions against the IEC, I think the guidelines from WP:NOTWHOSWHO are relevant: "Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic." The coverage of the action against IEC seems only to contain passing mentions of the subject, so it may be worth merging some of the content from this article to International Education Corporation.

    • Delete. I agree with the analysis of the nominator. I realize now that Wikipedia's standards of notability are much higher than I thought at the time when I created and published this page.

I am just not seeing evidence of notability, though there's likely COI creation and ongoing COI edits adding every bare mention of this guy, so I think everything that's available out there about him is actually already cited to in the article. Google brings up nothing. I did a source assessment, which is at Talk:Todd Mason#Notability. There's a single instance of sigcov in local business press but otherwise just nothing outside of stuff generated from press releases, bare mentions, routine business coverage of his companies rather than him, affiliated, interviews, etc., and most of it is in the same iffy media. Valereee ( talk) 18:12, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Agreed on lack of reliable sources. Mr. Mason needs to use a personal website and an IMDB page if he wants to list his career details extensively. His LinkedIn and other social media is extremely self promoting (no value judgement) and this article is in line with the rest of his internet presence. The majority of this (unsourced) content was added by a single user that hasn't touched any other articles, and I would guess is Mr. Mason himself or someone he hired. I'm not alone in this thought judging by the WP:DISCLOSE banner already on the article. PDXBart ( talk) 18:30, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Delete: The excellent source analysis Valereee has at Talk:Todd_Mason#Notability highlights the problems with this article. There's a lot of sources, but only one really good source. Many of the rest focus on a company where Mason was working and as he's been high up in several, there's a quote or two from him. That's not helpful for notability. There are areas where the article seems to exaggerate claims beyond what the article supports ("Mason created the world’s first major REMI Broadcast Hub") when the source, a press release from his company, only says it's doubling the capacity of an existing hub a year after opening the company's first center. That's correctable by editing, but it's emblamatic of the problems in the article. Press releases, bio pages on his company's website, interviews, articles focusing on a company make up most of the sources. WP:CREATIVE is the notability guideline most appropriae, and I'm not seeing that being met. No solid sources that support him being an important figure or widely cited by peers. Nothing to back a significant new concept/technique. While he's been involved in a fair number of works, the sources are mostly mentions of the company with at best a passing mention of Mason. The article notes that he's won several Telly Awards (but no reliable sources to support Mason winning), but this award doesn't feel like a significant award. The fact sheet from 5ish years ago [11] notes that the judging isn't competitive, with each nominee individually graded and upwards of 25% of entries with at least a Bronze award across a rather large number of categories. With CREATIVE not met, the fallback is WP:GNG and a single good quality source doesn't meet that. Ravensfire ( talk) 22:00, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. One reason that the page reads like his promotional materials is because parts of it at least have been copied from them. Some of that remains despite all the clean-up that's been done; I've blanked the page and listed it at WP:CP – the editor responsible has more than 30 edits to the page and I have neither the time nor the inclination to check every one of them today. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 17:22, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. I don't really understand why this has been renominated 3 times. It seems fairly clear that the subject is not notable by any criteria.

Chagropango ( talk) 08:08, 8 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, Valereee's table lays it out clearly, and my own BEFORE identifies no other sourcing on which we could write an article.

What's the point of a list of 1? Including statistics (well, the 1 person is top and bottom of the list), and an extra list of the living examples (still the same 1 person). Was redirected, but apparently this was not acceptable either. I don't care if it gets redirected (somewhat unlikely search term) or deleted, but as a separate article it is completely meaningless.

I wish to inform that all the photographs were taken on the day of Kumbabishegam and were added earlier. Request to delete Articles for deletion.-- B Jambulingam ( talk) 08:55, 30 July 2022 (UTC) reply
Vanakkam, @ B Jambulingam I am not convinced that this is a notable temple. This seems to be a run of the mill temple that are found in every street in Tamil Nadu, cities. There is nothing in the page or the refs that make it notable. The build and temple architecture are fairly new and there is no claim from a reliable source or ASI about the ancient history. The claims of old history are promotional and should be taken with a pinch of salt.
As claimed, this temple might be a part of the 88 temples of Thanjavur Palace Devastanam Temples. If so, then this Thanjavur Nisumbasuthani Temple should be listed on the page of the Thanjavur Palace Devastanam Temples along with the refs. Based on the sources found so far, I see no reason why every minor temple in this group of temples need to be covered in a separate Wikipedia page. Only historically and architecturally significant temples that are covered by independent media should have their own Wikipedia page. Venkat TL ( talk) 10:18, 30 July 2022 (UTC) reply

There are no reliable sources online containing information or coverage of this restaurant aside from a Vox article that only trivially mentions it (two sentences) along with dozens of other closed restaurants. One of the sources for this page, an archived page from the Oregon Encyclopedia community-driven website, has a bio on Henry Thiele along with what look like notable sources. I think an article about Henry Thiele specifically, with a mention of this restaurant, would be plenty appropriate. But not this restaurant by itself.

    @ Another Believer Carrying over conversation on my talk page since it's relevant here too:
    I did in fact run searches for RS for this article before nominating. The sources you've added do help, but aside from the book they all seemed WP:TRIVIAL to me. I agree that the book coverage, which I missed in my searches, could count as significant, and uncovering things like this is the point of AfD discussion. I would however suggest that if you're making good faith efforts to encourage better editing that revision notes like "yet another source; nominating editor sure didn't try hard..." might work better if following WP:NICE, WP:NEWBIES, and WP:AFDEQ. I appreciate your feedback regardless. I will leave this AfD open for consensus building that the book coverage in addition to other trivial coverage satisfies notability.
    As for slowing down, I am simply following the Wikipedia "motto and...invitation to the newcomers [to be] WP:BOLD", which also suggests more experienced editors do not "thwart the efforts of newcomers who take that invitation at face value". I am making good faith efforts to clean up articles in the area that I live. If you have further questions about my motives or more detailed constructive feedback, you're welcome to leave it on my talk page. I have not until now received feedback across my AfD nominations that they were made carelessly. PDXBart ( talk) 14:50, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

I tend to agree with the OP, that it would make a whole lot more sense to have a bio of the clearly notable founder, than of the restaurant, but I don't feel strongly enough to vote "delete." However, I want to strenuously disagree about the dismissal of the Oregon Encyclopedia as a reliable source. It should be regarded as one of the best sources available on Oregon history. This is a publication born of the scholars of the state historical society and one of the largest public universities in the state. from their FAQ: "The Oregon Encyclopedia does not accept unsolicited entries. The encyclopedia is an authoritative publication, which means we adhere to a scholarly editorial process."

That a fire occurred in a nightclub does not make that fire notable.

Many sources are available and investigations are still ongoing (plus, corruption is highly suspected by the media as well - leading to even more investigations into the incidence), of course, mostly in Thai. IMO, It is a "notable enough" incident as it had two digits deaths and was the first of its kind in the given region.

These are all the topics I found interesting and have so far made the case relatively more notable in comparison to countless other fires with similar death tolls in Thailand. If these aren't the case, then proceed the deletion process as I cannot find any further interesting notes in the incidence.

Article unjustifiably created, and evidently/likely by the subject of the article (or a direct affiliate or acquaintance), which constitutes a conflict of interest anyway – Furthermore, this is not a truly notable or significant individual, musician, or public figure. They should not have a Wikipedia entry. Nor should this person be listed under North Atlanta High’s notable alumni, 1995 births, Living people, or any of the several other categories and articles to/on which they are linked.

As a musical act, they were never signed under any major (or independent) label or imprint, have never charted on any official record charts (0 results on Billboard for instance), and have no noteworthy (let alone legitimate) social media audience or following. It is suspected that their Verified check marks (Instagram and Facebook) were swindled, primarily due to the existence of this very Wikipedia article (and under the guise of public relevance). In addition, no trace whatsoever of their music (or any other significant work) even exists online at this point:

• In previous years, they simply posted their homemade music on their personal SoundCloud and YouTube ― to minimal plays and impressions

• They were never (and still are not) on any major streaming platforms or music services

• All their online content is removed altogether (absolutely no content is on YouTube or SoundCloud or streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, etc.) plus all their social media profiles (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat) have by now been emptied, hidden, made private, and/or abandoned for an extended time

They seemingly have transitioned all their online profiles from “Musical/recording artist” to the “Social media influencer” type. Therefore, they are indeed using their illegitimate social media Verification and misleading Wikipedia entry in hopes of attracting real followers instead of bot or purchased followers.

Finally, the article’s “sources” are not reliable and are all unknown, local, niche, and/or personal webpages directly connected to the subject (who, again, most likely authored this entry or had it authored on their own behalf). Moreover, every “source” is from fall to winter of 2016, with many of the links being dead, having expired domains, or being largely empty/devoid of any content (e.g., the subject’s very own, self-published tonibaldwin.com).

  • Delete - It looks like she was a relentless self-promoter for a couple of years, with shenanigans like announcing her own album release in a short YouTube video and then using that video as evidence in self-published webzine articles about how the album was announced. The article is dependent on her own rampant self-promotional social media posts before she apparently got bored and dropped that strategy.

Not yet notable by WP:CORP. Company is listed on the CSE and the FSE, but as noted at WP:LISTED, while that should make it much more likely for a company to be notable, it doesn't guarantee it. So, while trying to replace the sea of press releases with some RS, I was surprised to find there's almost no independent, secondary coverage of the company online. Just a ton of press releases, and passing mentions in the financial press.

The article as created was pretty over-the-top marketing [21], complete with ™ symbols and gushing self-promo quotes from the CEO. This was made even worse last month by Special:Contributions/Purple_2020, whose COI was pretty obvious.

Editors User:WikiDan61, User:Canterbury Tail and I cleaned out most of the blatant marketing and lame attempts to connect the company with COVID response, but what remains is sourced only by press releases and sponsored content, and doesn't assert notability per WP:CORP or WP:GNG.

  • Merge whatever is appropriate and Redirect to Mercury Drug#Tropical Hut changed !vote to Merge Delete This is a company/organization therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply. There are particular criteria for establishing the notability of a company. Also, unless blatantly obvious (e.g. Blog posts, Social Media (including twitter) etc), I'm assuming all the sources are reliable and the publishers are corporately independent from the topic organization - but there are a lot more requirements than just "RS" or mentions-in-passing "coverage" for establishing notability - we require *multiple* references that contains deep or significant in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) also containing "Independent Content". As per WP:SIRS *each* reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Here's an analysis of the references (excluding PRIMARY sources and twitter):
    • Equire profile on the "Oldest Food Chains in the Philippines" but unfortunately is merely a very brief (4 sentences) description with no in-depth information, fails WP:CORPDEPTH
    • Interaksyon article is a commentary on various tweets, social media is generally not WP:RS and the article has no in-depth information, fails WP:CORPDEPTH
    • Another Interaksyon article is also commentary on social media mentions, not WP:RS and also fails CORPDEPTH
    • Manila Bulletin article is yet another commentary on social media. It provides more details but attributes those to "its profile on Jobstreet". Again, no in-depth information and fails both CORPDEPTH and possibly ORGIND.
    • The book Major Companies of the Far East and Australasia 1993/94 is a mere listing containing an adress and phone number and an activities tag of "Supermarket operators". Nothing more. Fails CORPDEPTH
    • Bloomberg profile is based on information provided by the company and is considered trivial coverage, fails CORPDEPTH and ORGIND
    • CNN "In Photos" article is inspired by the recent "nostalgia" initiated by twitter in 2022 and is a reflection on the journalists' memories and visit to one of the branches sprinkled with other people's reflections from social media. Unfortunately it is also very light-weight containing no in-depth information and fails CORPDEPTH
    • This Yahoo news article is also a commentary on the same recent wave of nostalgia and mentions the "hiring new staff" company announcment. Also fails CORPDEPTH.
    • The remaining five books referenced in the article are mere mentions (as also described in the article) and also fails CORPDEPTH
None of the references meet the criteria for establishing notability of the company, most even acknowledge that not much is known, none of the "reviews" provide more than a brief mention of the company.
I searched for other references and one that appeared to contain detailed information is available on StudyMoose (a source of "free essays" according to the website) which was written in October 2016 and predates the references above. It isn't a reliable source though. I also came across this essay/document on PDFCoffee which also appears to contain in-depth information but I am unable to find an original which would meet WP:RS. Even the metadata on their profile on WIX here contains details which appear in this article but which predate it. There is a COPYVIO concern in relation to some of the content in the article. All in all, none of the references meet NCORP criteria and nearly all of the information is either copied from a PRIMARY source or fails WP:RS. HighKing ++ 15:02, 25 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Due to the sources found not meeting the set criteria at WP:NCORP, as they either lack in-depth or independent coverage. Being the "7th oldest food chain" can't be used to establish notability. Hell, even the oldest food chain wouldn't be automatically notable, because NCORP is one of the most strict guidelines that requires sources and only sources to establish notability. When the sources don't meet the criteria set at NCORP, the rest is irrelevant. ~Styyx Talk? 11:03, 27 July 2022 (UTC) reply

The Mercury Drug article isn't particularly long, but if it does get to be expanded and the content for Tropical Hut gets to be split, we'd be back with the same predicament here. Either the restaurant chain is notable or not. At this point, the article goes above and beyond WP:GNG, as there are multiple in-depth WP:RS about the company. Now if this article does not meet any other SNGs, that's not my problem as it does pass GNG, but if certain quarters will insist on using an SNG to delete this article, GNG vs SNG debate should happen elsewhere. (The article has some laughable references RN now, like a specific tweet from a nobody... sure that bloats the reference count. Howard the Duck ( talk) 22:42, 31 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Per WP:SNG (literally the section below GNG), subject-specific guidelines in some cases "help clarify when a standalone article can or should be written". They "can also provide examples of sources and types of coverage considered significant for the purposes of determining notability, such as [...] the strict significant coverage requirements spelled out in the SNG for organizations and companies". GNG requires reliable, independent and significant coverage. This company doesn't meet the GNG, because the available sourcing isn't considered to be independent for companies and for-profit organizations (because WP:ORGIND is a thing). So this actually doesn't go "above and beyond GNG", because it's not met at all. ~Styyx Talk? 11:40, 1 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Two quick points, Howard my good duck. First, you say the article goes above and beyond WP:GNG, as there are multiple in-depth WP:RS about the company - that's not the test for GNG (or even going far beyond it), we need more than mere RS as sources. Second, as Styyx says, NCORP is a thing which we can ignore under exceptional circumstances and default to GNG, but you haven't made any such case for that here. HighKing ++ 20:33, 1 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    With all due respect, the references are over and beyond what GNG looks for. "Social media" mentions are no different from what RS would do interviewing randoms on the street on what they noticed during a crime scene, or ESPN asking Tom Brady or Lionel Messi (ripping off the "based on information provided by the athlete") what he felt during the game. This is just the 21st century way of doing things. The Philippine Star, Manila Bulletin, CNN and Yahoo! News Philippines are all RS. AFAIK, they're not related to Mercury Drug (apparently the parent of this restaurant chain), and passes GNG.
    Citing social media directly is not RS. FWIW, the article is guilty of doing that. RS citing social media is still RS. Howard the Duck ( talk) 13:28, 2 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    Which reminds me of when I had to do some research to clarify an erroneous assumption by media outlets regarding the app used by Kelly Rowland when she "texted" Nelly in " Dilemma". Android Authority cited a tweet from an ex-Symbian developer who pointed out that no, it wasn't Microsoft Excel on that Nokia. Back on topic, you do have a point about social media posts being cited by RSes as akin to on-the-spot interviews. The witness may or may not be right, but it's still reporting nonetheless.
    What we do need is a "smoking gun" of some kind to firmly establish Tropical Hut's notability, e.g. if it's of seminal importance or more to it. Blake Gripling ( talk) 23:56, 2 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    There are so many smoking gun references, I've lost count. WP:RS can be occasionally wrong, but this doesn't make them no longer WP:RS. That doesn't happen here until proven otherwise (in other words, WP:RS interviewing random people about something doesn't make it wrong or not WP:RS, until another WP:RS makes it so). Now if WP:RS are wrong multiple times, time to list it at the WP:RSNB. Howard the Duck ( talk) 23:24, 8 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Keep You made an argument for improving the article, not deleting it, since the article is for the most part a list of pages and not something that needs original research to exist.

@ NemesisAT: Thanks you for the rationale. My opinion is that there is no "List of bridges known for strikes" in any article. One needs to do original research to piece it together. Also what is the criteria to make the list? Does a bridge make the list if it is struck twice or five times? Bruxton ( talk) 18:42, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply
Forgive me for butting in, please just tell me to leave it alone if you would rather I not contribute to the AFD due to my authorship.
The standard would be that the bridge is known specifically as a serial offender. So articles that generally mention that the bridge was struck would not be in scope. It would definitely be OR if we were trying to set a threshold for what bridges count, or trying to gather stats on how many times bridges get hit. This article [24] is a great example of what I'm talking about, where it documents the bridges notoriety and even gives examples of previous media coverage.
The point about being a composition of disparate things and not sourced from a central list is interesting, but based on articles I've reviewed this is not a common standard. See List of incidents at Walt Disney World and its companion articles. Generally its unreasonable to expect us to just copy a previous news outlets reporting to generate lists.

    Would like to reiterate that we cannot and should not be in the business of counting / gathering data.

Two editors have prodded the article because the person does not meet out WP:NPOL guideline. The person placed fifth in a Republican primary. They reached the office of Treasurer for the Quapaw nation which has 13,000-acres of territory and only 3,240 (2011) enrolled tribal members. I am not sure that the treasurer office has any equivalence with national legislative bodies. Bruxton ( talk) 23:25, 28 July 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: Hi all, I'm going to copy my comments from the talk page below for ease of access. The main reason I think this article should meet WP:NPOL is because I think being an elected official of a federally recognized tribe meets WP:NPOL. I know the policy is silent on tribal governments and their politicians entirely, but they function more similar to a state government than a local government so I think it's reasonable to argue that the policy should include tribal elected officials. The treasurer office is part of the legislative body of the Quapaw Nations government. I'd also like to repeat I think it's a misreading of WP:NPOL to cite the size of the government's jurisdiction or population as a reason its de-facto unnotable.-- TulsaPoliticsFan ( talk) 01:45, 29 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Comment: WP:NPOL is in favor of including "Politicians ... who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels." In the United States, federally recognized tribes often function in roles equivalent to state governments (having 3 branches of gov, exercising civil and criminal jurisdiction over territory, being elected democratically by voters) and their elected politicians should fall under "similar systems of government." Given that, I think Barker actually meets WP:NPOL. He's an elected official of the Quapaw Nation and that should meet WP:NPOL. Additionally, the Quapaw Nation has 6 people in their category, Category:Quapaw, expanding coverage is appropriate. His page is of similar length and source quality of other tribal politicians (see Milton Bluehouse Sr.). Category:Navajo Nation politicians has categories for Tribal Councilors and judges, similar coverage for other tribal nations should be in line with wiki guidelines.-- TulsaPoliticsFan ( talk) 17:29, 23 July 2022 (UTC) Edit: added signature later, original comment 04:29, 23 July 2022‎ reply
    • Comment:I wouldn't go as far to argue they are equivalent of the United States federal government, but for WP:NPOL purposes I think they're the equivalent of state/provincial office. Focusing on the size of the tribe by population or territory I think is a mistake for WP:NPOL application since there are countries smaller than the Quapaw Nation (see Niue and Vatican City). We also don't enforce size requirements for states- Wyoming has 9,000 voters in each state house district, but elected officials to the Wyoming House of Representatives still meet WP:NPOL (This article has more sourcing and content than say Jim Roscoe of Wyoming). The logic of why WP:NPOL applies to all state elected officials should be the same for tribal governments. Especially since they are sovereign nations with jurisdiction, branches of government, and territory. Expanding the Quapaw Nation's coverage on wikipedia is also probably good post McGirt v. Oklahoma, since the tribe is now exercising criminal jurisdiction again in its reservation. Additionally, federal provisions like Treatment as States (TAS) provisions mean that tribal officials like Barker get to write environmental policy usually reserved to state or federal governments. Wiki articles on not just Barker, but tribal elected officials in the United States should meet WP:NPOL in the same way state elected officials do. I totally understand the skepticism given his recent run for office which does not meet WP:NPOL, but I hope you WP:GOODFAITH and understand the creation of this article is motivated not by his recent run for office, but because he is a tribal elected official in Oklahoma and I'm trying to expand coverage of tribal governments as part of the Oklahoma wiki project. TulsaPoliticsFan ( talk) 17:27, 23 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I don't think the community has consistently interpreted WP:NPOL to include tribal officials (see Four Guns (judge closed as keep) and Charlotte Hallmark closed as redirect). I do not doubt the logic that TulsaPoliticalFan describes. With that being said, WP:NPOL is premised upon the fact that there is WP:V coverage about elected national and statewide legislators and officials. I cannot begin to assert that all tribal councilmembers meet WP:GNG, nor could I suggest that all principal leaders/chiefs would meet GNG. I do think there is enough coverage to describe the government of most tribal nations and include the list of officials who held offices in those nations (see Supreme Court of the Navajo Nation). -- Enos733 ( talk) 23:55, 31 July 2022 (UTC) reply
    Thank you for sharing both of these previous AfDs. While the editors don't mention it in Charlotte Hallmark's RfD, I think it's interesting and worth noting that they were a state recognized tribal politician and not a federally recognized tribal official. Editors in the Four Guns AfD noted that they were a high ranking politician in a federally recognized tribe who had treaties with the United States as a sovereign nation. I don't want to be misconstrued as implying state recognized tribal officials don't meet WP:NPOL, I don't think I have an opinion on that right now. However, I do think federally recognized tribal officials do meet WP:NPOL and the conclusion of the Four Guns AfD seems to support that conclusion.

  • Keep, per my reasoning at the AfD for solar Saros 162 (which closed "keep"), which I will reproduce here. The rationale for deleting or redirecting individual eclipse articles has been, so far, that they can be included in these list pages; it needlessly complicates things to start rummaging through the list pages themselves. As has been said, there is a large list of these cycles in the navbox, as they are all equal in the sense of being verifiably extant (whether they are ongoing, have ceased, or have not yet begun). Since it's possible to accurately predict eclipses thousands of years into the future, and the human race has successfully done so for hundreds (if not thousands) of years, it seems like it would be trivial to find adequate sourcing here. There's simply no chance of this not happening: the only thing that could cause it not to happen involves the literal destruction of the Earth, and if that happens, I don't think it matters whether Wikipedia had an article on it. jp× g 09:59, 23 July 2022 (UTC) reply

What I'm saying here boils down to two things, basically -- first of all, AfD is not a process where the creation of new articles is carried out, and second of all, existing consensus from a number of previous discussions established that these lists were a suitable merge target for the information in sub-articles. People !voted to merge the articles and include their content in lists, not to delete the information from Wikipedia entirely (which is what would happen in this case, per List of saros series for lunar eclipses). jp× g 16:58, 3 August 2022 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus. AfD has no common law. As much as people are pointing to other AfDs, they have no influence on the outcome of this one. Further, "keep so we can have an RfC elsewhere" is a rather weak argument. While this discussion is almost unanimous, these flaws led me to this close. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 17:13, 14 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Request - Can we centralized all this discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Solar Saros 162? ~ Kvng ( talk) 14:46, 21 July 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, per my reasoning at the AfD for solar Saros 162 (which closed "keep"), which I will reproduce here. The rationale for deleting or redirecting individual eclipse articles has been, so far, that they can be included in these list pages; it needlessly complicates things to start rummaging through the list pages themselves. As has been said, there is a large list of these cycles in the navbox, as they are all equal in the sense of being verifiably extant (whether they are ongoing, have ceased, or have not yet begun). Since it's possible to accurately predict eclipses thousands of years into the future, and the human race has successfully done so for hundreds (if not thousands) of years, it seems like it would be trivial to find adequate sourcing here. There's simply no chance of this not happening: the only thing that could cause it not to happen involves the literal destruction of the Earth, and if that happens, I don't think it matters whether Wikipedia had an article on it. jp× g 09:40, 23 July 2022 (UTC) reply

I think that usually, AfD is not a process where new articles are created, but this isn't always or necessarily the case. Sometimes we create an article on a book while discussing the author, for example, because it is more clear that the book is notable than that the author is. A page on an obscure mathematical constant was deleted, which prompted the creation of a draft on a broader topic around it, which eventually became an article. It's an unusual outcome, but not one forbidden by any grand principle. XOR'easter ( talk) 00:58, 4 August 2022 (UTC) reply

After searching, I don't see a pass of WP:NCORP. There are many reviews of their games but little independent coverage about the company itself. [27], [28], [29], and [30] are SIGCOV but none are remotely independent, all being based on interviews with the company's founder(s). "Last Chance Media" doesn't seem to turn up much either, although there is the non-independent [31].

The number of notable games published by this company gives me pause, but WP:NCORP is stringent for good reasons. Ovinus ( talk) 04:53, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete I AGF and draftified the page when it was first created, but it had been moved back into mainspace without any improvements to the sourcing or prose, so maybe this article creation is promotionally motivated. I agree that it doesn’t meet WP:NCORP, let alone GNG. The company has not produced that many notable games, they can easily be tracked with a category tag for Finji.

Biography of a living person that was written to praise its subject rather than to describe him neutrally, but does not establish general notability. Nothing in this article describes the sort of significant coverage of the subject by reliable sources that would establish general notability.

In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.

  • Redirect to CLAMP. Keep - In searches online and in the WP library, I found one book review ( Publishers Weekly, 2006), a mention at p. 98 of her as 'the only ex-CLAMP member to have made an impact on the Western market' in The Rough Guide to Manga (2009), and a 2011 mention in an Anime News Network post, i.e. "Some of the early members, notably Leeza Sei and Tamayo Akiyama, left the group for careers as solo manga-ka, but none have been a fraction as successful as the four women who stuck together." The article includes wikilinks to Mouryou Kiden and Hyper Rune, which have no sources, Secret Chaser, which includes a review ( IGN, 2012) identifying her as a former CLAMP member, what appears to be a crowd-sourced review also referencing her former work with CLAMP, a French-language capsule review for Vol. 2 noting her CLAMP background, and an Anime News Network announcement. The other wikilinked publication in the article is Zyword, which does not include the PW review noted above, but in its article has the Amazon page and the book itself as references, and an Anime News Network review of Vol. 1 which describes her as a CLAMP alumni. At this time, there appears to be support for a redirect to CLAMP, but insufficient support for a standalone article per WP:NAUTHOR/ WP:CREATIVE or WP:BASIC/ WP:GNG. Beccaynr ( talk) 18:23, 5 August 2022 (UTC) - comment and !vote updated, per below Beccaynr ( talk) 04:25, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
I disagree that the Mania review is crowdsourced and unreliable; as per WP:ANIME/RS#Situational, Mania is considered to be a reliable source for reviews outside of the Maniacs section, which that article was not published in, thus it is a reliable source. When combined with the IGN review, that is two reviews, thus making it meet WP:NBOOK. Zyword also meets NBOOK (at least you don't seem to be denying it does). The other series with articles are old, so they may have coverage in older English or French sources (which I will look through and see what, if anything, I can find. EDIT: Found this review in French and this review in German for Mouryou Kiden, which both seem fairly substantial, thus making it meet NBOOK). But even without those two, I think that between two notable series and some independent articles about her other series, she at least comes close to meeting WP:NAUTHOR 3. Link20XX ( talk) 03:53, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
Thank you for the WP:ANIME/RS#Situational link - I was trying to assess the site based on its appearance as a crowd-sourced fan site - the WP:ANIME link says, "Editors must be particularly careful the reviews are from AnimeOnDVD/Mania staffers and NOT from the user-submitted "Maniacs" section. When searching for reviews, those that have a URL format of http://www.mania.com/*title*_*somenumbers*.html and that follow the original AoD review format are written by staff reviewers and are considered reliable and usable for articles. "Maniac" reviews written by users which are not RS can be detected by the lack of structured format and a URL in the form of http://www.mania.com/*username*/review/*title*_*somenumbers*.html", and this url does not have a username in the title. I will adjust my comment and !vote. Beccaynr ( talk) 04:17, 6 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per my comment above; having three notable series is enough to meet WP:NAUTHOR 3 in my opinion.

WP:BLP of an unelected political figure, not adequately sourced as having a strong notability claim. The claim here is that he's a former chief of staff to the speaker of a provincial legislature, which is not an "inherently" notable role that guarantees a free pass into Wikipedia -- he would have to pass WP:GNG on his sourceability to warrant a Wikipedia article.
But there are just two footnotes here, both of which are relatively short and unsubstantive sources that just cover him in the context of having briefly been in the news for investigating allegations of other people's impropriety, in other words doing his job. For the record, one of the two people he investigated was formally charged and the other was not, but this article isn't telling you that, and there are WP:BLP problems arising from its failure to tell you that — this was most likely created as a WP:COATRACK to get the criminal allegations into Wikipedia for "naming and shaming" purposes without actually trying to write WP:PERP-failing BLPs of the people Mullen investigated.
This simply isn't of enough enduring significance to justify an article that's this unsubstantive and minimally sourced. Bearcat ( talk) 03:34, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • (Weak) Delete: The Hawkeye piece is good, but under WP:NCORP there should be multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources for a company to be notable and I don't see evidence of more than that one, an indication of non-notability (especially a US-based modern-day company). I wouldn't call the edm.com piece significant coverage about the company itself (it's a few paragraphs about its subsidiary). I'm also slightly skeptical of its independence given [32], which states it covers the music of labels it partners with and I'm not sure of how to check whether FiXT has partnered with them. The rest of the sources cited in the article are either interviews, sourced to the company, non-significant, or is a press release. As to its bands, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED (the label may not be notable even if some of its artists are).

  • Keep The article is tagged to request citations. I agree these are lacking. It is otherwise well-written, and non-promotional. I see no problem in letting it continue to gather improvements as it is a work in progress. We have the space. With several hundred graduates and a 17 year history at the school, professional pages showing membership by its graduates, an updated and busy Facebook page, the organization appears valid. To support the need for citations I've written to the group, asking pointedly for these, and have updated the official website link on the article. To suddenly push an AfD here is arbitrary, and inconsistent with the collaborative process of building this resource. Jax MN ( talk) 15:47, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

    • Comment Thank you, Anon, for commenting. I don't know the reason for your anonymity, but assume good faith. --As I hope you do for me. I am quite aware of notability guidelines. I have two concerns over Lenticel's PROD, then AfD. First, that this is an abrupt effort against an article that has slow traffic, but is properly formed and non-promotional. I prefer we continue to allow it to gather improvements, versus killing it. But I completely agree it needs citations. My second concern is over many of the Fraternity and Sorority articles coming out of the Philippines, which, like UP Halcyon lack sources. We (experienced F&S volunteers) know that Philippine schools have a robust fraternity and sorority culture. But these organizations are not promoted by school portals nor do they get much press -- in English, at least. The nation has almost 200 languages and dialects, thirteen of which have a million or more speakers. Do publications in any of these languages offer citations? When we search for citations in JSTOR it appears we are looking at English sources (correct me if I am wrong.) To ignore the other languages would be unfair, and dismissive of those Philippine cultural/linguistic groups. (Thus Lenticel, I do not intend to be patronizing in any way. Sorry if that was how you read this.) With all this in mind, it is why I asked for help from the Rescue Squadron team. I have no experience with Cebuano, Tagalog, etc. Can we simply fix this article, instead of killing it? Jax MN ( talk) 19:50, 5 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Comment The added references are neither independent nor show notability. The first reference is literary awarded for following campus rules. As for the second reference, an award by your own institution does not show independence nor notability as its recognition is limited on just one campus. An acceptable notable student org award in the country would be the Philippine Quill Award. -- Lenticel ( talk) 03:44, 8 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I am unable to locate any references whatsoever that meet WP:NORG's criteria for establishing notability. HighKing ++ 15:41, 8 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Comment See the most recent version of the article. The two references I added are indeed independent, (i.e.: not controlled by the organization), and show that, to the school and its community, the organization is notable. The school recognized this particular group out of all other student groups with their inaugural award as a valued contributor. The organization did not control that vote.
Fellow editors, I don't know what is motivating this rush to kill this article rather than to improve it. This is a small organization, but valid, notable to their community, and the article isn't just thin promotion like so many, many others. Killing it is an example of Deletionism, a harmful tendency within Wikipedia. Perhaps Lenticel, normally a reasonable contributor, has decided to fight this battle because he/she took offense at me for questioning the PROD. The other votes seem to me to be casual "me too" votes, without considering improvement or attempting to help. I think that a fair-minded editor would pause, and adjust their vote to !Keep. Jax MN ( talk) 16:56, 8 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: the two sources are too closely-linked to the mother organization of the subject, coming from UP Diliman itself. That runs afoul to WP:INDEPENDENT. JWilz12345 ( Talk| Contrib's.) 14:15, 9 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Comment Thank you, JWilz12345. You raise an important point, also alluded to by Dream Focus. The group operates without controversy, and without seeking publicity. They are not the subject of a scandal... Hence, they face a situation as do many of the "good" fraternities and sororities, in that they lack press coverage. Yet we've proven they are valid: they exist, and that they are notable to the college and its community: their awards. You've applied an overly broad interpretation of "Independent" here. The UP Halcyon group does not control what is on the College's website, nor vice-versa. The College was fully independent in its recognition of them.
This is a haphazard PROD, by a skilled admin who nevertheless does not have involvement with this category of organization articles. Rather than fix the page, he/she merely opted to kill it. I objected, and found two good sources. Cordially, I note that Wikipedia's rules regarding Deletion state that participants should have a reasonable level of [subject] competence, and elaborates on this, saying that "This means articles, categories or templates should not be nominated in a routine fashion, nor because one feels too lazy to check for sources, or if the content is still being built or improved." This is why I refrain from PRODing or voting on nominations regarding Australian Rules Football, or Rap Music. They're not in my sphere of competence. --What Lenticel may not know is that there are potentially 100,000 or 200,000 local fraternities that may desire a WP article. Our Project group itself only supports a few of these who meet a bar of inclusion (tenure over 10 years, usually a physical location, external references, etc.). The Halcyon group meets our bar of inclusion, which is very stringent, documented, and consistent.
I urge review of votes here, now that the page is improved with these references and clarifications. Jax MN ( talk) 17:01, 9 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • You need to take a close look at our guidelines and especially WP:NORG's criteria for establishing notability. Since this is the third time you've commented after someone's !vote to mention that fact you've added references, you should also be aware of WP:BLUDGEON. You are not an inexperienced editors and so you should be aware we have various policies and guidelines. Since this is an organization, WP:NORG guidelines apply. There are two sections in particular - WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND which essentially mean that we require multiple references that provide in-depth and significant coverage on the topic (not students or members or events, but the actual organization) which contains original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Your first reference from University of the Philippines Visayas Tacloban College is a mention in a list. This is trivial coverage, fails CORPDEPTH. In addition, the university is affiliated with the organisation and this reference would also fail ORGIND. Your second reference from University of the Philippines Open University marks the 48th anniversity of UP Visayas Tacoblan College. This article has no attributed journalist/author so it could be argued it fails WP:RS as we don't know its origin. Leaving that aside, the topic organization has a mention-in-passing (one sentence) and has no in-depth information *about* the organization, fails CORPDEPTH. Bottom line, despite your urging and your protestations, you appear to misunderstand the criteria for notability and you are obviously closely connected with the org. Wikipedia is not a forum for promotion or advertising or to be manipulated for "awareness", nor is it a Yellow Pages or some sort of directory. HighKing ++ 20:35, 9 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I agree that the subject is marginally notable and the article is thin on sources, but what tips me in favor of keeping is that this group won an award from the university. That does make the group notable within student organizations in the Philippines. Also, the article is well written for a starter. Finally, I believe diversity is important within the Wikipedia community. Sometimes that means understanding the challenges in finding what we consider traditional sources and/or English language sources. Would you even know whether or not a Philippine source was major or minor if there were more sources? The bottom line is that the university is a legitimate and independent source. It is credible and important in context of this topic. Keep the article--encourage the authors improve it and bring more topics to Wikpedia. Rublamb ( talk) 19:36, 10 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    • We need to see an argument based on our policies/guidelines, not opinion. The award (from the university they're affiliated with) is insignificant. The rest of your argument (award=notable, well written article, diversity is important, challenges for non-English sourcing, bottom line plea, move along nothing to see) is opinion and not based on guidelines, etc. HighKing ++ 10:29, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
      Quoting from WP:JUSTAPOLICY "While merely citing a policy or guideline may give other editors a clue as to what the reasoning is, it does not explain specifically how the policy applies to the discussion at hand. When asserting that an article should be deleted, it is important to explain why." That is what I did--explain my reasoning. Sorry if my explanation did not match your opinion. So let me cite with guidelines to back my thoughts. WP:SURMOUNTABLE I agree that this article needs more sources to meet the criteria for notability. However, this problem is surmountable because with more time for its editors to explore non-English sources, Philippine source, and non-digital sources, this article can be improved. I am not using the "sources must exist somewhere" defense, but rather my professional understanding of content seeking in countries like the Philippines, along with the credibility of the existing sources. WP:ITSLOCAL This is my primary defense, what you refer to as diversity. Quoting from ITSLOCAL, "Stating an article should be deleted because you and most of the world do not know about it is akin to the I've never heard of it argument. Many subjects are esoteric, meaning that only a small crowd is familiar with them. ...The same is true about subjects only of interest to those in a single city, town, or region. People who live outside the area who have never visited there or done any research on the area will obviously be unlikely to have ever heard of them. But Wikipedia is not limited to subjects that everyone in the world knows or will have a good chance of knowing. Being a global encyclopedia, Wikipedia can cover a wide range of topics, many of them pertaining to the culture of a single country, language, or an ethnic group living in one part of the world. The people living in a single city or town and everything they have built around them are likewise a culture and society of their own." WP:IGNORINGATD Ultimately, I recommended retaining this article at this time because GNORINGATD says "The fact that a topic is not notable is not, in and of itself, valid grounds for deleting a page, its content, or its history." At a minimum, @ SBKSPP is correct that we should be recommending whether to keep or redirect/merge this content, rather than to simply delete. Rublamb ( talk) 14:39, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Thanks Rublamb, this is a great clarification. You've quoted extensively from an essay WP:ATA rather than our guidelines and to paraphrase, you're saying that it is likely that more sources exist and you also say that you rely primarily on ITSLOCAL. That section also says subject-specific notability standards in some areas of endeavour do require evidence that the sourceability is more than purely local — for instance, corporations and organizations have to meet WP:CORPDEPTH or WP:ORGDEPTH which applies here since this is an organization. Bottom line: we need to see sources or we need to at *least* have some confidence that sources are likely to exist. To date, the only sources originate from other organizations that are affiliated with the topic org. We have seen no indications that any other sources exist, or likely to exist. HighKing ++ 15:13, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
    Just did a quick Google search and came up with several new sources which I added, including the only LGBTQ magazine in the Philippines, a division of the Philippine government, and a nationwide news outlet founded by by 2021 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa. Also, more sources from the university itself. I think this proves my point that there is more out there to be found as I have yet to search newspapers. Rublamb ( talk) 15:56, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
  • It's great you've added more sources, thank you. I think there's a misunderstanding in terms of what is required in order to establish notability though. I've summarised NCORP below.
  • This is a company/organization therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply.
  • We require references that discuss the *organization* in detail. As per WP:SIRS *each* reference must meet the criteria for establishing notability - the quantity of coverage is irrelevant so long as we find a minimum of two. WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the organization* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content".
  • "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. This is usually the criteria where most references fail. References cannot rely *only* on information provided by the organization - quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews fail ORGIND. Whatever is left over must also meet CORPDEPTH.
Looking at the new references (you added 6).
  • This from Philippine News Agency doesn't even mention the topic org, fails to establish notability, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from the University website also doesn't even mention the topic org, fails to establish notability, fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from the LGBTQ magazine simply mentions the topic org by name, a mere mention-in-passing. It is not significant. Fails CORPDEPTH
  • This from Rappler is a list of organizations running various initiatives to provide relief from the aftermath of Typhoon Odette in December 2021. The list contains over 100 organizations of which the topic org is one. It is not significant, contains no in-depth information about the topic org (fails CORPDEPTH) and merely repeats information provided by the topic org (fails ORGIND).
  • This from the Dept of the Environment and Natural Resources is a mere mention-in-passing, is not significant, provides no detailed information about the topic org. Fails CORPDEPTH
  • Finally, this from the University of the Philippines website states that the "author" is the University Media and Public Relations Office. The publishing org is affiliated with the topic org. It does not provide any in-depth info, fails CORPDEPTH
None of those references come close to meeting NCORP's criteria for establishing notability. This isn't about proving that the topic organization exists. Mere mentions or inclusions in lists are classified as trivial coverage. Material produced and repeated in publications have no intellectual independence and fails ORGIND. HighKing ++ 17:06, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
I think you misunderstood. Others were posting to delete UP Halcyon because there were no sources and nothing in Google. I proved both points to be incorrect, lending credence to my belief that there is a reasonable expectation that more references exist in sources from the Philippines. While I did not find an extensive article in my very quick scan of Google, the sources I found do qualify as independent and reliable. These citations back much of the previously unsourced content of the article, and also document the work undertaken by the organization which collectively builds a case for notability. For example, two of the sources I added prove that this group has partnered with the local city and a branch of the Philippine government on projects. Yes, I cited two articles that are not about the group, but they are about the award the group won (as in, is the award notable) and the group's founder (as in, is this group associated with anyone of importance and why does this name matter). One of my sources, that you say is just a list, includes a short paragraph about the Halcyon project and a graphic. I will repeat what @ Jax MN wrote previously: a university and its student organizations are independent of each other. I used to work in a department of information and development for a small state university--student orgs, the alumni association, the university, the sports office, and even the library are not the same, have totally different PR staff, have their own social media, and rarely speak to each other. Saying that the university is not an independent source in this case would be like saying we cannot use the NCAA as a source on Kansas Jayhawks basketball because the KU is a member of the NCAA. Or that NASCAR cannot be used as a source on Kyle Busch because he participates in NASCAR races. Just like the Jayhawks and Busch cannot control what the larger organizations publish, UP Halcyon cannot control what the university PR office writes. As I have said several times, I agree that more sources are needed to prove notability--I think everyone posting here agrees on this point. I am just suggesting that we take a minute and consider that this group with more than 5K Facebook followers and the potential for extensive coverage fits the criteria to keep under development. At a minimum, its content should be merged rather than deleted. Rublamb ( talk) 19:37, 11 August 2022 (UTC) reply
