I find this more promotional than notable and given the fact that the creator of the page's contributions have been exclusively related to articles specifically related to this person for 14 years, I'm slightly inclined to believe that this article's only purpose is to be promotional; sources used in the article are poor and I can only find mentions of him not already in the article that are very brief.

- Delete per WP:NOTRESUME. Mr. Black has been mentioned in some reliable sources, but these are typically in the form of brief statements in articles that are actually about his companies, without any background info to indicate that his career and biography are of interest. Meanwhile, the article is clearly an attempted promotion written by himself or an employee, not even trying to appear neutral. No, he did not pioneer the design of musician websites in the 1990s, and his recent app is not the first that ever offered a rewarding listening experience. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 15:19, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

- No, it's a criteria for a project built on NOTCENSORED, which I happen to believe applies to this case based on the WaPo article I cited. Consider beefing up your BEFORE, withdrawing the nomination, or accept the residual risk of appearing to have nomination priorities congruent with a totalitarian regime. That may be totally OK with you, but I would consider having myself apparently so aligned a pretty negative thing. Cheers, Jclemens ( talk) 00:24, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

For RadioactiveBoulevardier's objections above, I'd say that the tide of ill-advised AfD conclusions that go against policy are lamentable, but should not be used as a reason to keep something that does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NEVENT.

- Weak keep I feel like if an event happened in the US of this scale, it would be SNOW kept at AFD. We have to be wary of systematic bias on Wikipedia.
166.198.251.71 (
talk) 23:50, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- You may very well be right. There is, indeed, a systematic bias at play, but it is external to Wikipedia. Secondary sources - news, in this case - is biased in favour of covering Western world events. And since we here on Wikipedia are bound by the requirement to base our content on secondary sources, we end up with more coverage for events in the Western world whether we choose to or not. It's an unfortunate but unavoidable consequence of compiling an encyclopedia that isn't based on original research. Owen× ☎ 23:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: There is just about a consensus for delete here, although Left guide's comment needs to be responded to/refuted for that consensus to be strong enough to close as delete. Alternatively additional support for their view may lead to a no consensus closure. Final relist to hopefully reach a consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel ( talk) 23:38, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment -- The new sourcing found by Left guide does include one excellent WP:SECONDARY reference, as the Express-Tribune article has some WP:DEPTH and analytical, non-primary content. The remaining sources, including the original cites, are still WP:PRIMARYNEWS. They are not continued WP:SIGCOV or WP:PERSISTENCE, just routine news announcements that report on a new development. That one secondary source is strong, however, but it's a very tenuous peg on which to hang this article, especially without any WP:GEOSCOPE. Without more such sourcing – or, even better, if they enact one or more of the recommendations specified in the Express-Tribune piece to satisfy WP:LASTING – I maintain that the article still does not pass WP:NEVENT.

fix it yourself.

- Also, this is a deletion discussion. Articles of individual tropical cyclones should not be deleted and should instead be redirected if not notable.

Fails WP:NSOFT. Google search for Garmin BaseCamp finds just 11 references, the most in-depth any of them goes that isn't a download page or a WP:SPS is about four sentences on the topic. Google Books search finds several German guidebooks for Garmin GPSes that have a couple paragraphs of the software. Nothing in a Google News search. Newspapers.com had a handful of passing mentions (mostly the same coverage of a GPS being run in multiple Canadian papers.) The only articlespace page linking here is Base camp (disambiguation). Nat Gertler ( talk) 23:22, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- "Withdrawn by nominator" -- I'm withdrawing the article not for any of the reasons gone into below by the page creator (there are absolutely good reasons not to have articles on non-notable, still-alive software, as it will either need frequent updating or be out of date, and because it may often come up as the first result on a Google search while not offering the reader a better experience than the actual download page which may appear lower), but simply because I somehow biffed the WP:BEFORE. I'm not sure what I was doing that got 11 ghits, but I am now getting many more. This doesn't automatically mean that I think it is sufficiently notable -- the first screen of results were not things that contribute to notability -- but I haven't the energy at the moment to pick out the wheat from the chaff. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 19:13, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Where exactly is the harm in leaving this article be? It is neither nonsense, libellous, untrue nor written like an advertisement, and Wikipedia, being digital, is not bound by limits on physical size or weight; your book shelves are not going to collapse by leaving the article here, nor are the Wikipedia servers going to struggle with the sheer size of the article. "What is this BaseCamp thing?" is a valid thing for a user to wonder. Wikipedia can answer that question in a neutral and ad-free way, that is of course if you don't keep deleting things like this. Instead of coming up with ever more stringent a-priori requirements on "notability", ask yourself "could this information one day be of use to someone?".
On the question of "notability", the reason this policy was originally conceived is of course to keep contributors from creating pages on themselves, their dog and their impromptu band formed with two flatmates, or to keep Wikipedia from becoming free advertising space for commercial entities (and we have other policies to deal with that), but nowadays it seems to be used as an excuse for people who are looking to spend their free time looking for articles to delete from Wikipedia. I would urge you to look at other article quality measures as well, rather than using "notability" as the magic wand here.
I find myself wondering why I spend time on creating articles and other contributions to Wikipedia, if that means a lifetime of defending your content against the "deletionists". I think this eagerness to delete may ultimately harm the Wikipedia ecosystem more than it benefits it. Back when I was a student, do you know how discussions on contributing to Wikipedia went? A bit like this: "Have you ever contributed something to Wikipedia that wasn't removed immediately? No? Why bother then?". So really, this kind of behaviour can keep Wikipedia from attracting new contributors, and we should keep it from becoming some sort of dwindling in-crowd of self-proclaimed guardians of what can and cannot be included in Wikipedia, which apparently means that things can only be included if they're discussed in 20.000 other places as well. So what if it's a bit older or not used very much? It exists, the information is true and verifiable. If there are only a few paragraphs of factual information to give, why should that mean it's not a story worth telling?
So, before you decide to delete, ask yourself a few questions. Are you acting in the best interest of Wikipedia or are you only trying to win an argument? Are you acting in the best interest of Wikipedia or are you only trying to enforce a bureaucratic policy (see Vogons)? Create, don't destroy, it's a more useful way to spend your time. -- IByte ( talk) 14:21, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep if redirect then the material would be migrated back into the main article lengthening it again (which is why it was removed to its own article in May 2015)
The faith healing section was originally part of the main article but was lengthy and detailed enough for its own article as it was adding substantially to the main article which was to be condensed. This occurred in May 9 2015 by MaggieHood19
Sources are already well referenced, if there is an issue with "encyclopedic" tone, some specifics in this area to the problem sentences etc would be useful as objections currently too vague to be actionable by myself at least
In any instance, I plan to work on the article as needed, for example a neglected area is the opposition against McPherson in this area from theological view of Cessationism is the view that the “miracle gifts” of tongues and healing have ceased, at the end of the end of the apostolic age.
Granted more in this area could be done to explore the Cessationism aspect in the article and likely the only significant viewpoint missing since already there is the American Medical Association in San Francisco, Pastor Charles S. Price , (skeptic minister who came to believe after he saw) atheist, Charles Chaplin (skilled hypnotism and the power she commanded over the crowds); P.H.

- Keep but revise. If incorporated back into Aimee Semple McPherson there are a few references here that are different and should be kept. The main article already has 204 references (although possibly some of those can be cut down IMO). Some of this material could be moved to Faith healing which currently only says "During the 1920s and 1930s, Aimee Semple McPherson was a controversial faith healer of growing popularity during the Great Depression." although that article also isn't designed to go into details about individual faith healers. If this article is kept it needs revision. johnmark†: Talk(talk to me) 00:48, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Keep(duplicate !vote struck Daniel ( talk) 03:28, 29 December 2023 (UTC)) I intend on working on the article, especially past the "holidays;" December a good month for editors to work on articles demanding attention buried as they can be with all the responsibilities of friends and family around this time of year LoL.
As before the "Cessationism" view needs to be included, this I already have text and a source from a famous minister of the time, it has to be properly edited before it can be added to the article.
Also, among other things, more details on McPherson's first faith healing by which she learned of it she herself; (broken ankle) healed by William Durham, who brought the Azusa revival to Chicago and its link to Pentecostalism and its traditions of divine healing.
The healing, stated, by McPherson, in a testimony, was done before 12 witnesses (one a skeptic who was astonished then joined the others in praise after he saw the cast removed from the healed foot) divided the congregation. Doubters did not think the foot had ever been broken, or did not believe it had been healed (Epstein p 59).
William Durham, attended the Azusa Street revival, initiated with African American preacher William J. Seymour who had established the Azusa Street Mission in 1906. was known also for its numerous statements by people of either faith healings they saw or received.
William Durham, himself was convinced; after severe attack of rheumatic fever in 1891, he survived by praying, confirming his belief in the doctrine of divine healing.
The period skeptic of the era angle, among with mesmerism, hypnotism etc also have examples of persons who were not healed. At this time I have not located any information or interviews by skeptics investigating those who emphatically claimed they were healed such as the Romani who came to Christ because of stated healings; nevertheless I have some examples of those, given by some skeptics, who wanted healing and did not get it and shall include those in the article as well.

Two minimally-sourced articles about municipal council elections in a suburban town. Wikipedia long ago deprecated the idea that we need a standalone article about every town or city council election on earth -- what we need to see, to render a town or city council election notable enough for a Wikipedia article, is a significant volume and depth of
reliable source coverage about the election to pass our notability criteria for events by establishing some context (specific issues that were debated, specific campaign proposals, etc.) for what would make the event significant to a wider audience than just Oakville alone.
But these are both just results tables with boilerplate process introductions, featuring absolutely no content about any specific issues that may have been involved in the campaign -- and one is referenced solely to the muncipal government's own
primary source election results on its own
self-published website, while the other adds just one piece of "incumbent mayor announces that she won't run again" in the town's own community hyperlocal, which isn't enough coverage to pass NEVENT all by itself.
In addition, it warrants note that the established consensus of
WP:CANADA for Ontario municipal elections has long been to have one omnibus article per county, region or district, rather than separate articles for each individual town or city in a county, region or district -- so Halton Region articles might be fine, if somebody can actually be bothered to write substantive articles with proper context and sourcing to establish their significance, but Oakville doesn't need its own standalone articles separately from Halton, and there isn't nearly enough context or sourcing here to make "move these to Halton Region and walk away" a viable alternative.

- Keep. I believe Oakville is large enough that it can warrant having articles on its own municipal elections. I mean, it does have more people than most of Ontario's counties and districts, which we've agreed get to have their own articles. Yes, ideally this would be merged with a greater article for Halton Region, but we don't have articles on Halton's other municipal elections in 2003, so I think it's fine to have a standalone article until that time comes. -- Earl Andrew - talk 18:29, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Not without
reliably sourcing its significance, it isn't. There's no such thing as "place large enough that its municipal elections are exempted from having to have any sourcing to establish their significance" — even Toronto and Montreal don't have municipal election articles because they're large, they have municipal election articles because GNG-worthy reliable sources establish their municipal elections as significant and enable us to write articles with substantive information beyond just a bunch of raw vote totals.

- Keep: sure, it's a "suburban town", but Oakville is also the 25th largest municipality in Canada, and the 11th largest in Ontario by population size. That, by itself, does not establish notability for this particular election, but it suggests reliable non-primary resources should be available, including coverage in national news outlets. Owen× ☎ 20:34, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- We don't keep articles on the basis of guesses about what reliable non-primary resources "should" be available — we keep or delete articles on the basis of hard evidence about what reliable non-primary resources have or haven't been demonstrated to exist. That is, we don't speculate that national news coverage might exist — if you can't show concrete evidence that national news coverage does exist, i.e. by showing actual proof that real pieces of national coverage really exist, then merely speculating that it could exist carries no weight. Bearcat ( talk) 21:20, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep -- This article is sourced exactly as well as most municipal elections, with local election-result outlets. Policy and precedence are in conflict here, and I would side with precedence. On virtually any other topic, I'd do the reverse, but elections have always been an odd duck in the encyclopaedia. I do not think that deletion of this particular article improves the encyclopaedia ( WP:DDH). Cheers, Last1in ( talk) 23:15, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- What precedent exempts election articles from having to have proper sourcing? Any plausible precedent for that was kiboshed at least a decade ago, and local election articles are now routinely deleted if they don't have adequate sourcing. We rely on media coverage, not just the town or city council's own self-published results on its own self-published website, to establish the notability of municipal elections, and these aren't citing media coverage — so they aren't "sourced exactly as well as most municipal elections" in any sense, because municipal elections get sourced to media coverage if they intend to get kept.
Bearcat (
talk) 00:41, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- I certainly agree with you on the policy side. As I said, I have always !voted on strict policy guidelines in anything other than local elections. However, a quick survey of a few dozen articles about municipal elections shows that most of them seems to have exactly the same sources and, presumably, precisely the same lack of wider (non-local) media coverage. I still don't think that deleting this (or the dozens of other, similar articles) improves the encyclopaedia, and I feel that this is an example of an encyclopaedic article with valid, useful information. I believe that's why AfDs are consensus-based discussions, to notice and act on cases where a strict application of policy hurts the encyclopaedia. I feel that this is such a case, and you don't. That's a reasonable part of discussion. If consensus agrees with your position, I will happily accept that. Cheers, Last1in ( talk) 17:01, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete There are several reasons for deletion, primarily WP:NOTDATABASE. While we generally should be fine with sourcing from a government website (in this case results of an election), the problem is that these pages are just that - simple reassertion of the data. There is no sourced content that indicates the significance of the election (either for the municipality or any of the candidates). Size of municipality does not mean (much) anymore and has no basis in policy, as Bearcat mentions. Also some of the information is contanined in 2003 Ontario municipal elections, whcih could be expanded so the information is not lost. -- Enos733 ( talk) 14:28, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Oakville isn't the type of city where the local elections have more than local importance, and there's no clear lasting coverage of the event. Just because a race is a close one doesn't mean an election necessarily qualifies for its own article. Furthermore, a clear ATD exists where this could me merged into the Halton region, but it should not be its own stand-alone page. SportingFlyer T· C 02:11, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. The sources provide no convincing evidence of overall notability. Doczilla Ohhhhhh, no! 08:27, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. The coverage that I'm seeing here is extremely local in nature, and is routine coverage to boot. I don't see how a population of 200,000 is large enough to make the election so significant that we can ignore the lack of coverage. I'll also note that we don't have articles on many elections outside the global north in which the electorates were orders of magnitude larger. To be clear, I'm not saying that that is a reason to delete this; rather, that that lack shows there isn't a well-established or consistent precedent for local elections of a certain size, and that the lack of SIGCOV becomes harder to overcome as a consequence.

BeanieFan11 (

- Agreed. As I see it, the whole point of having secondary criteria is that when someone meets that criteria, there's a presumption of notability. Obviously it would be nice if we could easily access archives going back half a century but as far as this deletion discussion goes, he meets a notability criteria for retention.

Contested draftification of an article about a grandiose planned Saudi resort development. Draftified by User:AntiDionysius as promotional and advertising. Moved back to article space by its originator. The text of the article is about what the Saudi government says about the planned resort, not about what third parties have said about it, so that it does not speak for itself. A check of the references shows that none of them are independent sources. They are all either publications by the Saudi government, or press releases by the Saudi government to news media, and so it does not satisfy general notability.

KeepMerge and redirect to Burton, Lincolnshire.Unsurprisingly, the Lincolnshire Echo has sustained coverage on the planning and proposals for, and objections to the development from 1992 onwards, with which to write a background to the development. It looks to have been controversial. They can be found in the the British Newspaper Archive. An example is here for those who have access: [24]. There's enough to pass the GNG. Although a part of of Burton civil parish, the Ordnance Survey does describe it as a village and it looks to have a resident population so may come within the scope of WP:GEOLAND as a legally recognised populated place with presumed notability. I did consider whether I was WP:CANVASSED and should express an opinion. I don't think User:DragonofBatley's notifications amount to WP:VOTESTACKING. I've had no prior discussion about this topic, so DragonofBatley had no idea of my opinion. Looking at the editors contacted they are regular contributors to WP:UKGEO. I'm firmly of the opinion this has been done to broaden the number of contributors to the discussion, not to sway the discussion in a specific direction. Rupples ( talk) 23:11, 21 December 2023 (UTC). Changed initial opinion for reason set out in reply to User:Reywas92 below.- Merge to
Burton, Lincolnshire. This seems to be a gated residential and marina development, not a real settlement (as shown by the mention of second home owners on the Parish Council website, and the fact that it has candle shop, cafes, giftshop etc rather than practical shops, church, etc: a visitor attraction). (Please link to that Parish Council website, especially if using if to assert notability). I've cleaned up some sloppy non-sentences, fixed a link to a dab page, removed a link to another dab page (please, Dragon, use the helpful gadget which helps editors avoid accidental links to dab pages: I've told you about it before. Or, please check carefully every link you make, to be sure it goes somewhere useful.), but am not convinced it has notability beyond its developers' publicity. Re JMF's point: according to MAPIT the pub is definitely in Burton CP, and the parish council does exist, just no-one has yet mentioned it in the article on the village. I think it's called "Burton-by-Lincoln" or similar - am on phone, too much effort to find it again.

That article doesn't at present mention Burton Waters. Pam D 23:58, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk 01:56, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, that's a valid point and the Burton article could do with additional content. While I believe there's sufficient sourcing to pass the GNG for a separate article on the topic, it doesn't need to have one and in any case the demographic stats cover both places. Changing opinion to merge. Rupples ( talk) 04:07, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. My opinion has fluctuated between keep and merge. The article has been expanded and refocussed on the development's/settlement's history since being nominated for deletion. Most of what could be taken as promotional referencing and text has been removed. I believe distinct settlements within the same parish that are physically separated from each other by non-built up land are normally covered by separate articles where sources are sufficient to write more than a stub. This is the case here. It is preferable for the
Burton, Lincolnshire article to be expanded with a separate history of the overall parish and village of Burton-by-Lincoln and the Burton Waters article wikilinked — a brief Google search reveals content that could be used to expand the Burton article. Other than a promotional sounding narrative on the parish council's website there seems little in common between the two villages.
[27] and thus little context would be added by combining the two articles into one.

- Is there a policy/guideline to merge distinct settlements within a civil parish into an article on the parish? I'm not aware there is, but maybe I've missed it. The lead of
Burton, Lincolnshire was recently changed away from being about the village to be an article on Burton civil parish, presumably in response to and help support a merge opinion at this AfD. Nothing wrong with that per se but I don't believe this route is preferable here now Burton Waters has been expanded. Burton Waters is a settlement and so has presumed notability under
WP:GEOLAND (there have been additional residential schemes built since the marina part opened and development is ongoing). I don't see an obvious reason why Burton Waters shouldn't have its own article when readers seeking information on the place will likely search for it under its own name rather than the parish.

- Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about parishes.

- Weak keep per improvements. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 18:35, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- I've remained off Wikipedia since this article was nominated for deletion. I made a bunch of improvements by researching more books and scholars mentions of BW. I found a lot of sources as shared above in my responses and I'm still of the opinion per
WP: Geoland and
WP: Notability. The article has enough stance to remain in place and when looking at the different sources from websites and news to books and history. There's plenty of material for the settlement to be notable and worth an article of its own. It has bus times and services listed, it has it's own estate, it has plenty of sign posts and also the pub there is the oldest building dating back to the 60s before the entire area was redeveloped and the land was all previously occupied. So I lean heavily towards Rupples and Crouch, Swales points but Burton isn't part of this area it's a separate settlement being nearly a mile or so away. It's in the same parish district and county of course but not the same bua with greenbelt between them. Also look at
Skellingthorpe (Great Northern Railway) railway station map coordinates and you'll see Burton Waters. Not that it served it but the site was near to the area. As well as said bus times/services and the Burton CP website among other things like books and the Burton Waters Cup. They all mention the area. So I feel the article can be improved but a rash deletion is not the way to do it. Be like putting Hykeham for deletion because of Birth and South Hykeham but the area is in Lincoln and notable so is Burton Waters.

College athlete fails WP:GNG and does not come close to WP:NATH. Lots of search results, but none are WP:INDEPENDENT, all media related to her high school or college. A412 ( Talk • C) 20:20, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete College athletes are generally not notable, and with pretty much all sources here just being results statistics or routine player roster profiles, I see no basis for an exception here. I also request the author learn how to use the past tense; I'm astonished by the 42 instances of " would", which is a modal auxillary word used for future of the past, not regular past. Reywas92 Talk 02:03, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, there are some GNG sources I found from a brief search at e.g. [30] [31] [32]. Being local or college newspaper media does not preclude a source from being independent, a more specific rationale needs to be provided for each of the available sources. -- Habst ( talk) 02:15, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- First one is "The Official Website of Georgia State University Athletics". I don't think this is even a "college newspaper", the website for an athletic program an athlete plays for is not independent. Second one is borderline. It's better, it's not literally the athletic program, but I would give it serious audience-size concerns. Third one is plainly a trivial mention. It's one paragraph in a list of 24 athletes. That's one borderline GNG source out of the three.

A412, thank you for evaluating the sources because it's important to scrutinize our references. Can you please speak more to the Chester County Press source? It is a newspaper, presumably independent, and an entire section of the article with prose is devoted to the subject. If the mention was just one sentence, I would agree that it is trivial, but in this case it is an entire section. Also, even if not independent, the first two sources can still be used to add information to the article per policy. --

- Delete. Zero evidence of SIGCOV. The Chester County source has a blurb on the subject as it does on all the other 23 student athlete honorees for the fall season at Avon Grove HS. The blurbs were almost certainly only lightly adapted a submission by the school's athletic director, so likely not independent. Regardless, it's not SIGCOV and decidedly fails the requirement that coverage of HS athletes go way beyond local news reports. If this was all we needed to meet SPORTCRIT then all 24 of these high school athletes would merit articles (as would I!).

"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.

I don't particularly like the idea of a plain redirect as then all the details of the season is then lost; I still think we should have these details somewhere.

- Suggestion. The program was just getting started in the 1920s and played a total of only 10 games during the decade. I suggest merging the individual season articles into a single article covering Delaware State football "in the 1920s" or "early years" or "1924–1929".

Subject is named as a lawyer in a number of news items, but I see no evidence that she has "gained national recognition" or some such thing; really none of the sources discuss her as a person, as a lawyer, etc. Judging from the sources, she's only "known" for being sanctioned, a fact conveniently left out of this fluffy biography.

- Delete - as an initial note, I removed sources from the article, including
WP:PAGESIX, court records, and Twitter
[33], as well as blog posts
[34],
[35]. In the article, sources include a "LA Times Content Solutions"
source which is a promotional interview. There are also five sources listed to support article content stating Meyer gained national recognition for a case - but the coverage is about the case, without indication that anything about Meyer's work specifically became a focus of coverage or recognition. Then there are five sources about a case she lost, including what appears to be a duplicated AP reprint. There is also a Vanity Fair article that briefly mentions her twice in the same paragraph, about a deposition she conducted, and the court not making an adverse inference against the opposing party. There is also a non-working link to a Yahoo source, the
archive version shows it is Madamenoire, recycling
WP:PAGESIX etc. There is also
Venture Blvd, which looks a lot like a blog, and a
Whittier Daily News source about her and her husband and their house. There is also her HuffPost contributor profile, a link to something she wrote at CSQ, another profile page, and then three more news reports about court cases mentioning her briefly, including
WP:TMZ. Based on the available sources, it does not appear possible to write a balanced biography that is not
WP:PROMO, and
WP:BASIC/
WP:GNG also does not seem supported by independent, reliable, and secondary coverage.

- Regarding the Abbie Cohen Dorn case, Meyer's work is in fact the focus of coverage in more articles than I can count. Each article includes a quote from her, suggesting that she was important in the end result. Here are a few more.

BeFriendlyGoodSir (

- See the Jewish Chronicle where "Meyer points to the California Family Code, which says that the public policy of this state is to make sure children have frequent and continuing contact with both parents." Meyer was also in a 48 Hours (TV program) episode talking about it. BeFriendlyGoodSir ( talk) 22:53, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
-
Secondary coverage could include independent and reliable sources that analyze, evaluate, or interpret of her role and impact in the case - essentially some form of commentary about her role. From my view, that type of coverage, even if it is brief, could be combined with other independent, reliable, secondary coverage according to the
WP:BASIC guideline to help support her notability.

- The source cited
[37] for the new article content "As a first case of its kind, the result set a precedent for future cases of a similar nature, having implications for other disabled parents seeking child visitation rights" does not say this - it says "An unprecedented, horrific legal dispute is coming up in LA." The new article content appears to be

- Meyer referring to the case as having no case on point (example 1) or as "precedent-setting" [38] (example 2/CNN Wire), [39] (example 3/Associated Press) does not support saying the case "set a precedent" in WP:WIKIVOICE; this is commentary by Meyer about the case, not commentary by an independent reliable source about the case. A source saying opposing counsel noted there could be "implications" for other parents and children in the future does not support referring to this family law trial court decision as precedent - no independent and reliable source appears to have said this trial court decision is precedent.

As to the Attorney at Law Magazine source, this does not seem helpful for supporting notability because this source is primarily based on an interview with Meyer and two of her co-workers, so this substantially lacks independence; another concern is the source generally: a Target Market Media trade publication, based on the About page, which does not list staff nor editorial standards.

- Comment - I researched all the above criticisms. Considerable updates have been made to this page since the last discussion. Removed fluffy language, added reliable sources ( removed generally unreliable sources to the best of my ability), removed Meyer's clients Sebastien Izambard, Donna D'Errico, Kenya Barris, Kelly Clarkson ex-husband found in court docs but without RS sources, and included more details about the Abbie Cohen Dorn case while avoiding what may appear to be original research. I plan on digging into the Trevor Bauer case in more detail to highlight Meyer's involvement. Thank you for sharing recommendations on how you think I can improve an article. BeFriendlyGoodSir ( talk) 20:57, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - Developing
encyclopedic content requires more than
verifiability, particularly in
biographies of living people. Various policy-based reasons include (according to
WP:NOTNEWS) the need to consider
the enduring notability
of people, becausemost newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style
, and because Wikipedia is not a means of promotion, e.g.Wikipedia articles about a person, company, or organization are not an extension of their website, press releases, or other social media marketing efforts
. And when developing an article, particularly with sensationalized news coverage, the WP:NOTSCANDAL policy should be considered, becausecontent about living people are required to meet an especially high standard, as they may otherwise be libellous or infringe the subjects' right to privacy
- parties to cases are also protected by BLP policy.So the HuffPo contributor and CSQ Magazine contributor profiles, news reports about other people that briefly mention Meyer represents a party, a post from informationliberation.com about an "Instahoe" and Elon Musk comments, and a link to a podcast Meyer appeared on, do not help support notability nor develop encyclopedic content according to guidelines or policy. If there is independent, reliable, secondary coverage about Meyer and/or her work, I continue to encourage posting sources in this discussion, to make review easier, because Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. Thank you, Beccaynr ( talk) 22:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC) - Comment: Here is what I believe to be independent, reliable, and secondary coverage of the Abbie Cohen Dorn case. Whether you think it is enduring notability, depends on your interpretion of her role and impact in the case based on the collective commentary 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16. BeFriendlyGoodSir ( talk) 03:24, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- The sources listed above are news coverage of the case, without substantial secondary analysis, evaluation, or commentary about Meyer, and include some reprinted Associated Press coverage; there are brief mentions of Meyer, often based on quotes:

- This
WP:BOMBARDMENT seems to help show there were two flurries of coverage, in April 2010 and March 2011, and we do not have information about what happened after the temporary court order, and there also does not seem to be substantial commentary about the impact of the case nor Meyer's role. Based on the notability guideline, building a
neutral and balanced article does not seem possible if the article will primarily be based on brief mentions in sensationalized news focused on other subjects.
Beccaynr (

- At the current moment, I might agree with you. Although Meyer is quoted saying “we think that this is just the beginning, that their time with their mother will increase as they get older", I see no evidence that the court order is still in effect. The most recent article on this case was in 2016. However, if there is a similar case in the future, I imagine more details will emerge.
BeFriendlyGoodSir (

- As noted above in the source review, the 2016 date of the "Let's Talk" opinion piece in The Jewish Chronicle appears to be inaccurate, based on the content of the article, which is based on the April 2010 LATimes/Pioneer Press reporting about the pretrial hearing. And as repeatedly noted, Meyer's
promotion of her own importance or the importance of the case is not independent support for her notability. And our own opinions or speculation about
what may happen in the future does not help support notability or encyclopedic content.

- Comment: Dorn was scheduled to receive three-hour visits daily for five days each summer at her parents' residence in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Alongside the five-day visits, Abbie Dorn also was able to speak with her children by Skype for 30 minutes on the first Sunday of each month in an attempt to maintain a parental relationship with them. The ruling also required the father to display photographs of Abbie Dorn on a table or shelf in the children’s bedrooms. As I said, this ruling could play a role for future cases but missing the sources needed to support claims. BeFriendlyGoodSir ( talk) 19:02, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hesitant delete, though I would also support a rename/reframe. The coverage that I can see that has any substance has to do with the 2011 case involving visitation rights. There is a lot of such coverage, but it seems to be tangential to the lawyer and focused on the case. To me this suggests the case is notable, and the lawyer is not, as everything else is constructed of passing mentions. I don't think detailed coverage of a single case necessarily makes a lawyer notable. Vanamonde93 ( talk) 10:31, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep — As the creator of dozens of articles on Wikipedia, I created this article in good faith to celebrate a film that I enjoy and which I believe should meet notability for a film. One of the strange things about it is that DVD copies list critical praise and acclaim that is hard to find from third-party sources that meet our WP reliability standards, largely as a result of websites shuttering since the film's 2008 release. I did not mean to delete WP:PROD immediately by my objection, instead hoping to spend the next few days working on improving the article and trying to find more sources, as I have great respect for the work Fram in particular has done for our Wikipedia community.

- I wanted to add another thought in the argument for keeping the article, which I did not mention in my original Keep or Move to Draftspace argument. This is the high-profile nature of the cast, with the exception of the secondary lead as the only major role who doesn't have a Wikipedia page. We have standards of notability for books on the basis of their famed authors and films on the basis of their famed directors, and I do feel that this under-observed film deserves some for its highly notable cast. Still seeking better sources to back it up. PickleG13 ( talk) 08:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

The article is a WP:COATRACK of original research based on WP:SYNTHESIS, covering multiple distinct definitions of the word "enlightenment" in English in a way that confuses both the concepts and the reader. Various culture's forms of religious experience should not be merged together in such an unsupported and syncretic way. Buddhist definitions of enlightenment are extremely clear about its attributes; while the Hindu concept of moksha is similar, it is not identical - the attributes of beings who have attained moksha do not include many of the qualities that Buddhists attribute to enlightenment. Buddhist sources such as Jigme Lingpa's Treasury of Precious Qualities go into detail about the distinct differences between enlightenment and liberation, an identity which is simply assumed in this article without a shred of support. The Christian meaning is different still. The article ignores sources which contrast rather than conflate the topics. This is an example of sloppy New Age thinking, conflating distinct topics which should be covered separately. If anything, an article contrasting the differences would be more honest than an article using synthesis in an attempt to pursue the New Age agenda that "it's all the same" or "all paths lead to the same place". They don't. Most of the sections are simply short summaries of their main articles that do not in any way connect the material to the word "enlightenment"; many don't even contain the word!

The test for me is whether a person reading this page would know more after reading it than they did before. I don't think they would. JMWt ( talk) 13:45, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete – at first glance it does seem like a well-sourced article with a long history of contributions from many authors; however, upon further reading its WP:SYNTH qualities become apparent. I think it might have been nice to have an article covering why all these disparate concepts got translated to the same word "enlightenment" in English and how they got adopted by New Age practitioners in the West, but this isn't that – in fact, it's an example of that New Age thinking itself. It assumes a connection between tons of different religious concepts purely based on the fact that English explorers in India used the same word for ideas in the many religions they encountered. Deleting this article would not result in a loss of knowledge, as there are already detailed articles on kenshō, satori, kaivalya, moksha, mahavira, and kevala jnana which are all better than the poor treatment here.

- Strong Keep -- This article has extensive sourcing and a robust debate over the last 14 years. It meets GNG easily with extensive literature extant (much of it in the article already) on comparative cultural concepts of enlightenment. If you actually read the sources and the Talk discussions, the
WP:SYNTH argument simply does not hold water. Did anyone even try

- Seems to me that this is an argument for a merge to Religious syncretism or some other page. I'm sure you are correct that there are books pushing this line, it just seems to be giving undue weight to those off-the-wall ideas to give space with an easily searched term like this one, when the religions concerned say it isn't a thing. JMWt ( talk) 07:43, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Neutral - but convincing arguments, though I don't think that the word "enlightenment" has such a clear-cut meaning in Buddhism; it may refer to both initial awakening or insight, and 'final' of 'full' liberation (if such a state really exists). Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:34, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- That's only because you are mixing terms from Zen with terms from Indo-Tibetan Buddhism and considering them the same. The definitions of Enlightenment in Tibetan Buddhism are detailed, and include lists of attributes of body, speech, and mind: an Enlightened being has specific bodily indications; there is a detailed list of negative emotional states that no longer arise; a being who is merely a Bodhisattva on the 8th bhumi can understand and speak all languages, for example. The article suggests that the attributes of enlightenment and the attributes of moksha are the same; but Mahayana Buddhists define one of the qualities of a Buddha is that they choose to come back to help others; one can attain moksha without developing this attitude. Liberated beings intend not to reincarnate ever again; Enlightened beings intend to manifest within samsara to aid other beings to enlightenment. This is only the most major difference. Vajrayana recognizes the state of "personal liberation" as distinct from "enlightenment", and Jigme Lingpa gives detailed descriptions of each and the differences between them. Skyerise ( talk) 11:54, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep It seems like with that logic, "spirituality" shouldn't have an article either? There is no official text for spirituality, but it's a concept that's been so widely used as to be an obvious topic of interest, where the nuances are broken down within the article. Same goes for spiritual enlightenment. Like it or not, syncretic belief systems are extremely widespread. This is a common term and a common concept.

- Comment. That page does look like a Wikipedia:COATRACK. We have pages Enlightenment in Buddhism, Divine light and Divine illumination. We could also have something like Spiritual enlightenment, but I do not see sources which would treat this aa a single coherent subject. If there are such sources, that might be "keep", but I do not see them. My very best wishes ( talk) 20:12, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Weak Keep and refactor as more of a disambiguation page. We do our readers a disservice by leaving this a red link and making it harder to find the meaning of the term on Wikipedia, but we also do them a disservice if we present enlightenment as a single concept existing in multiple traditions rather than a single English term used for a number of more or less distinct concepts.

- Comment: the term "enlightenment" as it relates to Asian religions, and the one used in "Age of Enlightenment" are so different, some languages do not even use the same word for both. In Chinese, for example, one uses a character associated with awakening, while the other uses a character related to uncovering a truth. The fact that both ended up using the same word in English and in some other languages is a linguistic artifact, not a shared underlying concept. At best, this should be a disambiguation page - which we already have. Owen× ☎ 20:04, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTDICT. Wikipedia organizes articles by what things are, not by what they're called. This is essentially a list of usages of the word enlightenment, puffed up so that each definition reads somewhat encyclopedically at first brush. But just because one can staple together a few different usages doesn't mean that there is a coherent topic. To the extent that the juxtaposition insinuates that these are all the same thing, it's WP:SYNTH. The idea that all these varied enlightenments are the same, or aspects of the same, is itself a POV that must be treated as such. XOR'easter ( talk) 21:44, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge with Academic grading in the United States - I don't buy the argument that sources that explain that XF is a grade assigned for academic dishonesty, however many times it is said, provide significant coverage to write something encyclopaedic about the grade. It is not irrelevant, but there is not significant non trivial coverage here to write an encylopaedic article on the grade code itself. Academic dishonesty is a subject and so, it seems, is Academic grading in the United States. This information belongs in the latter, but should not be spun out from there.

- LimeLife ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is a very curious article. It has been nominated twice and failed twice, mainly due to sources from multiple media outlets from before 2010 (see previous noms). Further, due to the browser redirecting scheme I suspect they were born as paid articles. However, they all mention LimeLife as a mobile phone company. Sometime between now and then LimeLife became a (alleged MLM) cosmetics company. Whether that LimeLife is the same as this LimeLife remains a mystery. Since the new LimeLife fails GNG I am unable to find independent sources referencing it as a cosmetics company. In any case, it is safe to assume the old LimeLife is long dead. I am curious to see where this AfD will go. RetroCosmos ( talk) 17:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- It looks like some time in 2021 Limelife's
history was rewritten from its origins as a mobile phone company to the brainchild of a cosmetics company Alcone which notably does not have its own Wikipedia article.

- Revert the hijacked article back to
Special:Permalink/058694903, the Dec 2021 version of the women-oriented digital media company. Hijacking an article should not result in the deletion of the original article. Standards have changed since the article was kept at AfD in 2012, so it can be renominated for deletion if desired. Hijacking an article is not acceptable on Wikipedia so there is no need to even consider the acceptability of the current contents.

I will add that a Google search for the exact string "battle of Beit Lahia" only returned pages directly related to this Wikipedia article, like List of engagements during the 2023 Israel-Hamas war and some person's edit history, in addition to an article describing some events in 2004 as such, and a work of historical fiction.

- Merge to 2023 Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip -- Not every event in this conflict is independently notable. This portion of the invasion has zero WP:SECONDARY analysis, and it is not named as a 'battle' even in primary sources. It cannot pass WP:GNG, much less WP:NEVENT.

Keep: coverage by BBC and others establishes notability. Whether it was launched or not is irrelevant. We have many articles for products and projects that never came to fruition, and there's no policy to remove such articles. WP:CRYSTALBALL doesn't apply, as this isn't a prediction, it's a description of a past event or idea, which still exists as a notable idea. Owen× ☎ 15:52, 21 December 2023 (UTC)- Merge into

- @
OwenX, I should have clarified
Wikipedia:CRYSTALBALL, I meant that it is very unlikely that there will be more info about this particular product from Samsung in the near future, I just mentioned crystal ball because it is a nice idea to have "an invisible keyboard", but since this particular product didn't launch, we can't predict that there will be another product implementing this idea, thus I think it shouldn't have a standalone article.

- Also,
coverage by BBC and others establishes notability
. Since the only coverage is about announcement, I believe it is not enough for notability:a burst of coverage (often around product announcements) does not automatically make a product notable
per WP:NSOFT. Deltaspace42 ( talk • contribs) 17:15, 21 December 2023 (UTC)- I understand your point, and agree that such a burst of coverage does not automatically establish notability, and you are correct that we are unlikely to get additional sources about this concept. My claim is that when you take BBC along with all the other sources, this concept of a product marginally passes our usual threshold of notability.
- That said, in an effort to drive to a consensus here, how would you feel about merging this article to
Virtual keyboard? We certainly have more than enough sources here for a section in the target page.

I hate to nominate the article for deletion, but after wanting to expand this article several times and basically examining most, if not all sources out there for Dennaton, all of the available ones are just development info for Hotline Miami. In the current state of the article, it's also completely lacking third party sources at all to begin with. So, unfortunately, unless I'm proven wrong (which I'd love to be here), Dennaton Games isn't a studio that is independently notable from their own works. Negative MP1 09:25, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

- Unsure but likely keep so for now sharing some sources I found; the article currently isn't great but it was also only 71 minutes old when nominated for AFD. There's a lot of routine coverage in reliable sources, way more than is normal for corp articles that are deleted in my experience. What was source 4 (more sources since added) ("Red alert") is not solely an interview; since this nom someone else already added "How Red Light Management is breaking new acts during the pandemic". www.musicweek.com. Retrieved 2023-12-07., which says there's additional feature coverage behind a paywall (which I haven't found that particular source yet). In Virginia newspapers there's some additional coverage of them working on a new venue, one example Roanoke council will hear report Monday on ideas for amphitheater. There's some real, but not huge, coverage of Red Light in a couple of books abut DMB's Dave Matthews Band : music for the people, The Dave Matthews Band : step into the light, and Dave Matthews Band FAQ (which seems to be from a somewhat real publisher). There's also some that are, as far as I can tell, only behind paywalls: RED ALL OVER. another part interview, part feature, excerpt "Red Light is one of the biggest management companies in the world, with a UK office that’s grown rapidly since opening in 2012. But how can such an expansive business stay true to its independent and artist-friendly roots? And what does its future in Europe hold?" BRIGHT LIGHTS., I think the match to How Red Light above, interviews with multiple staff members of Red Light (mentioned to show availability of sources to expand article not just for notability); Red alert: How Red Light’s expanding UK operation is taking over the charts; Light up: Red Light expands with 'powerhouse' dance duo the duo is Sigma and it also includes a mini article titled "Red Light redemption: Game on for management firm".

- I don't see any specific allegations made by AlexTheAwkward other than a "potential" which seems reasonable based on your talk page (and Alex has worked on improving the article and !voted keep?). Punk Rock London, you should probably WP:AGF and WP:STRIKE the mention of reporting Alex and be mindful of the context of the useful feedback you've gotten on your talk page.
- And for good or bad, Wikipedia isn't based on "importance" or "size" but Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources and we're not here to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. I agree it seems likely that Red Light Management does probably meet WP:NCORP. I trust we can all work on improving the article if the consensus here is to keep.

Of the sources currently in the article, everything is primary source or a passing mention/routine coverage except for the two musicweek.com sources. Of these, the second (i.e. 4 in the nom statement) is an interview disguised as a feature, as you will see quotes from company personalities interspersed literally every other sentence. The first appears to be of a similar nature, though the quote-to-prose ratio is slightly less egregious (I mean the entire bloody article starts out with

- Keep (maybe weak?) I think for me. I agree it's not a 100% clear NCORP pass with the exact coverage I've found. Music Week seems to be seen as generally reliable trade publication (
search results in the RS noticeboard). Most business coverage outside of the large will have quotes/interviews from the business itself and so the question is if the resultant. So both the trade status and the "feature"ness of the Music Week pieces bring
Trade publications must be used with great care. While feature stories[3] from leading trade magazines may be used where independence is clear, there is a presumption against the use of coverage in trade magazines to establish notability.
from WP:NCORP into play (the ref note isA feature story is usually a longer article where the writer has researched and interviewed to tell a factual story about a person, place, event, idea, or issue. Features are not opinion-driven and are more in-depth than traditional news stories.
.A new-to-me article from Music Week covering Red Light Management: < https://www.musicweek.com/management/read/red-light-x-atlantic-inside-the-management-firm-s-new-songwriting-camp-for-uk-hitmakers/087060>:Red Light Management has launched its songwriting camp series with an inaugural week-long event for Atlantic artists at RAK Studios in London.
, but still a bit borderline. And < https://www.musicweek.com/management/read/if-you-re-not-thinking-globally-you-re-going-to-miss-out-red-light-management-s-james-sandom-talks-strategy/069409> is mostly interviewed but shows they did several pieces on them in 2017, as well. To step out of pure policy-based reasons arguments, there is a huge amount of coverage of artists getting deals with and leaving Red Light, along with lots of coverage of employees joining and departing. Looking in that vein, there is < https://www.billboard.com/pro/mary-hilliard-harrington-red-light-management/> which really seems about as much about Red Light as Hilliard:Red Light Management is beefing up its already significant Nashville presence with the hiring of Mary Hilliard Harrington in a senior management capacity. ... The new team will be based out of the office Red Light recently moved into in the Gulch neighborhood of Nashville. Harrington brings with her two staffers from her previous management firm and two new hires. Stephanie Johnson, who handles day-to-day management for Bentley, and Kevin Grace, who works on the digital and creative content side for all of Harrington’s clients....
And < https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/tim-mcgraw-signs-red-light-83138/> in 2009 has a short but solid info about of Red Light:Based in Charlottesville, Va., Red Light Management was founded by Capshaw in 1991 at the beginning of his 18-year role as the personal manager of Dave Matthews Band. The company has grown into one of the most active artist management companies in the industry.
Also for McGraw's signing, and this article in Billboard had more than I realized (looks like ~15-20 sentences about Red Light, still a mix of reporting, quotes from Capshaw, and McGraw) so I hadn't included it before: [62]/ [63] "Touring over a new leaf: with a new managers and ambitious concert plans, Tim McGraw isn't resting on his laurels":When word came last April that McGraw signed with Red Light Management, many on Music Row were taken by surprise. Capshaw, a Charlottesville, Va.-based entrepreneur with a wide-ranging portfolio—including real estate and a brewery—is perhaps best-known as manager of Dave Matthews Band, founder of direct-to-fan pioneer MusicToday (now part of Live Nation) and co-founder of ATO Records. Red Light's roster is very deep and diverse, but McGraw is the first established mainstream country star to enter the fold.
as a snippet.I don't really like WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments but compared the majority of company articles we have (let alone comparable companies) this one has a much better claim to notability. (And the raw number of times a person quoted is ID'd as working there or a photo of a musician is via courtesy them makes finding more in-depth sources harder.) So, to justify my weak keep, I think the coverage of them working on the new music venue in Virginia, the Music Week features (both the multiple articles issue in 2023 as well as the full page in 2019 about signing Sigma + Red Light's attempts at getting into gaming), and coverage of them in the context of BMB's founding, and coverage of hiring/signing together meets NCORP. I think really going through all the sources, esp if someone had access to the Billboard Pro content as well, this would be a solid keep given its history. (Apologies for the length, I'm not sure why I've spent this much time on this and really need to pause but hopefully will be able to incorporate some of this into the now-cut down article if kept.)

- Comment. It looks as though the Grove Park name was short-lived, but I haven't found a source dating the change of name from Weston Park. This about the school's football team winning the national English schools under-16 football trophy uses the Weston Park name in 2005. [64] The article states Grove Park was closed in 2008. Oasis Academy I believe has been built on the Weston Park/Grove Park site so could in essence be seen as a continuing educational institution under a different name, management and new buildings, but against this is that it's a merger of two schools. Notes on the predecessor schools in the Oasis Academy Mayfield history section would help to explain how the current academy came into being. If kept the article should probably be retitled "Weston Park Boys' Secondary School". The National Archives just refers to the Weston Park name. [65]. Worth reading this for background. [66].

Relisting comment: Relisting. There is such divided opinion on this article that it is not a Snow Keep. I would welcome some more editors who are AFD regulars to assess this article and newly found sources.

- Comment I disagree that WP:SNOW applies as it is not a frequently used current term (meaning it may be harder to verify) and some of the in-article sources are of questionable reliability. I would not outright dismiss the MDPI source Thenightaway mentioned as MDPI can publish good quality material, it should just be one of many factors in determining source reliability. I don't have enough knowledge on this topic to comment either way regarding the nomination, but I would suggest other editors to consider the relevance of WP:NEO for the nomination.

Applied Economics and
Physica A are most definitely *not* predatory journals; there is no basis for the claim that
"These are completely unknown journals that churn out rubbish."
Regards, -- Goldsztajn ( talk) 06:25, 26 December 2023 (UTC) - Keep There is clearly sections of the article that are WP:SYNTH (in particular the individual country sections), however, there's a difference between an article containing SYNTH material which can be removed as against a topic which is SYNTHESIS. Furthermore, WP:NTEMP - notability is not temporary. Finally, the origin of a topic is immaterial to a consideration of notability - it might affect where we write about the topic (simplistically, does Windows get covered by itself or as part of Microsoft?), but we need only consider whether or not there is SIGCOV in reliable sources to determine notability. No evidence has been provided that *all* the sources listed above are predatory publications. I find the following three reliable sources spanning a seven year period more than adequate to satisfy the GNG. [1] [2] [3]

CIVETS are a group of such countries with fast growing economies. Economists often call this group 'tiger economies'. There is no geographical explanation for the formation of this group, which additionally includes structurally diverse economies. However, despite geographical dispersion and obvious variations, these countries have large and predominantly young population, a high level of domestic consumption and economies that are greatly based on products, while their financial systems are highly developed and modern. CIVETS countries generally do not record high inflation rates. Further, fiscal deficits have increased as a result of global economic crisis, but public debt in the CIVETS counties is still fairly low, and all the countries in this group appeared to be relatively immune to recent global recession, which is, generally speaking, only the proof of quality and properly created policy in the previous period. Even political risks in these countries are not high any more, therefore, although a certain risk is still present, all these countries have good prospects to remain stable. However, it is important to mention that CIVETS countries have not shown any interest in coordination of their foreign policies related to investment issues

Despite the fact that most CIVETS countries acceded to the WTO in 1994 (effective as of 1995) with a strategic view to adjusting to neoliberal ideas and so to participate in the global trade and investment environment, the decision to embrace the neoliberal logic was proximately responding to the pressure to overcome the financial crisis of the 1980s by accepting and implementing IMF recommendations. Furthermore, during the 1990s and the early 21st century, most CIVETS' policy-makers were either trained in the US or adopted the ideas of the Washington Consensus through their foreign affairs advisory bodies. In that context, it is clear that the phenomenon of policy convergence is easier to understand when the ideas and background of the main leaders are included as one of the variables of analysis.

CIVETS as a group playing a more and more important role in the world economy, is even considered as "the next BRICs". However, no comparative analysis of knowledge-based economy performance and scientific research performance between the two country groups has been conducted from the perspective of scientometrics.

This list is an over categorization. The creation of companies by Brown University alumni is not a notable cultural phenomenon.
- WP:CROSSCAT says:
- Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations, such as "people from ethnic / cultural / religious group X employed by organization Y" or "restaurants specializing in food type X in city Y". Cross-categories such as these are not considered a sufficient basis for creating an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon.

), but I also have to say that this is pretty transparently promotional—a prestige-measuring contest between universities, if you will. That also falls under the broader heading of WP:NOT, specifically WP:NOTPROMO: Wikipedia is not the university's PR team and should not act as if it were. This of course applies to all such lists for various universities. This article in particular doesn't exactly hide that it's also a work of WP:Original research, cross-referencing company founders with alumni. Where's the reliable source that made this cross-categorization on a group level, and why isn't it cited? My suspicion is that it simply does not exist. This kind of WP:SYNTH nightmare is the reason List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation had to be remade from scratch, but in that case we actually had a proper list external to Wikipedia to base it upon.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Doczilla @SUPERHEROLOGIST 18:52, 29 November 2023 (UTC)- Keep - Rizwan Sajan satisfies the notability criteria for biographies as outlined in WP:BIO due to significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources (WP:RS) such as Arabian Business, Gulf News. His entrepreneurial activities and leadership roles within the Danube Group are well-documented, and his involvement in notable projects and philanthropic efforts has been recognized by reputable awards (WP:ANYBIO). The subject's impact on the business sector in the UAE is further corroborated by coverage in Forbes Middle East, (Staff) establishing his notability within the context of WP:GNG. The article should be retained and can be improved by incorporating additional secondary sources that meet WP:V and WP:NPOV. Upon further investigation, the nominator seems to have almost no experience with wikipedia. In fact, @ Tagishsimon edit history shows only deletion nominations, and what seems to possibly be vandalism by tagging. and nominating. Nominator makes this AfD suspicious. May take to Ani. These do not seem like WP:Goodfaith edits.

- Doesn't work for me. The list is excessive wherever it's placed. Much more famous music venues do not go into so much detail, e.g.
Grand Ole Opry,
Radio City Music Hall,
Hollywood Bowl. The last one — by far the most detailed of the three — lists a few notable acts per decade, whereas this list averages maybe a dozen a year. Wikipedia is not a directory.

- Keep: There's no failure of
WP:NPOL, because Alemparte has received an important coverage from media (both pro-government and Boric-opponent media, for example El Desconcierto or Ex-Ante). Similarly, Alemparte has held state–offices like the surrogate mayor's office of Maipú or even the position of Chief of staff of ministeries during the governments of Michelle Bachelet.--
Carigval.97 (
talk) 18:07, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Evidently fails NPOL. Never elected to an office, fails NPOL, and has never held any state-office', that is blatantly untrue. In Chile, the equivalent of state/province-wide office is gobernador regional, delegado presidencial regional, delegado presidencial provincial, and in general members of Consejos Regionales and members of the Parliament, in addition to Cabinet members. Mayors, for instance, are not inherently notable, unless it is Santiago or regional capitals. Bedivere ( talk) 02:16, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- I repeat, despite Alemparte's offices, you are ignoring a point that establishes the same rule you cited ( WP:NPOL): 'Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage' (in Alemparte's cases: Radio Bío-Bío, La Tercera, El Desconcierto, Diario Financiero, etc). In the US, there's the case of Tony Podesta, a lobbist and activist (as you say about Alemparte) who has not held any position (neither in a political party nor in the state) and who has had press coverage given his controversies.-- Carigval.97 ( talk) 14:00, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

- He was just an interim mayor, as he was appointed by the incumbent mayor temporarily and held the office just for a little time. That does not confer notability at all. You can imagine, had we taken that stance, there would be hundreds of thousands of articles about such "surrogate mayors" (as Carigval mentions them). Bedivere ( talk) 02:18, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment The sentence 'Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage' in WP:NPOL is not a pass/fail criteria like the other bullets in NPOL. The SNG is written in a way to provide automatic passes to national and statewide elected officials. Because many elected officials serve in local offices, with powers and responsibilities that vary greatly, the SNG provides a way for local officials to meet our communities notability standard by meeting GNG. So, if the individual does not hold an elected or appointed federal/ statewide position, we must apply GNG and evaluate the sourcing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enos733 ( talk • contribs) 18:15, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Weak keep In addition to the above sources, I found this significant coverage as part of a feature on animal stars in games in a Chinese magazine.

- Zx, with respect, you always seem to be under the impression that if a subject is notable by Wikipedia's definition, then a stand-alone article is justifiable without exception. We can assess each case independently on whether it is merited ("presumed" part of GNG). I do think that Toro is a "notable" subject (in the general sense of the term), but it's a weak case for a stand-alone Wikipedia article. The sources you listed are all short blurbs, except the article about his (and other characters') birthday event. There isn't much to say about him; the article would be short. Given the fact that Doko Demo Issyo is the parent subject, and Toro is often discussed in context of the series, I think it would be more effective to have one article about the series and its games, with a section about Toro as sort of being a legacy of the series.

- I'm not sure what's so odd about thinking that - WP:NOTMERGE says that merging should be avoided if "The topics are discrete subjects warranting their own articles, with each meeting the General Notability Guidelines, even if short." Your entire argument hinges around articles being too short, which the page explicitly says should not be used as a rationale unless they are "one or two sentences" long, which is much shorter than the current state of the article, much less its potential size when expanded. The point is that merging is entirely up to personal opinion/consensus, but there is no rule requiring short notable articles to be merged unless people decide it so. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 07:28, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

No indication of passing WP:NB. While the book appears to exist, the entry is entirely unsourced, and has been tagged as such since 2007. I conducted a WP:BEFORE search, which consisted almost entirely of a different thing, Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens, and terms not relevant to the actual book. A search on other Wikipedias did not probe anything substantial either, except a singular catalogue entry from the Italian Wikipedia which merely documents its existence and provides nothing else. I was thinking it would maybe pass because of criteria 5, but I didn't find anything that would indicate this book as a part of Asimov's biography, aside from him being the author of the book.

- Comment The best notability case here would I think have to rest on WP:NB 5, and the idea that when we have an author of such major prominence it is desirable for completeness sake to summarize the contents of every story in Nightfall and Other Stories (where currently every story is a bluelink). Searching scholarly databases, all I find on a first look are a few articles like this one which use the story in a training corpus to study narrative point of view-- certainly not sigcov of the story.
- It's possible that some extended discussion of this story has happened within sources that don't mention it in the title, e.g., in the prefaces of scholarly editions; articles about the Nightfall book; articles about Asimov / sci fi in general... part of why I'd entertain an NB5 rationale is that I can easily imagine such coverage existing somewhere, especially in non-digitized sources closer to its first publication. But without said coverage in hand, I don't want to make a keep argument. I can't do more digging now but will come back if I find more. ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 04:57, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

- Draftify as it's a new article where sources to establish notability may become apparent shortly into early next year. I don't see much point restoring the redirect if it's an upcoming show in its own right now, so sending to draft space to afford more development time seems more reasonable.

- Draftify is certainly an option that I am also fine with. I would have draftified it straight out of the new pages feed but it's not actually a new page, since it was created out of an old redirect to the Korean series that it's based on (which also makes merge a potential option too)

- Yes, while it is a "new" article insofar as overwriting the redirect, it's not "new" as it has existing history in the form of the redirect. The redirect would probably serve little purpose now if the show is to exist in its own right, though I feel the expansion into an article is a little WP:TOOSOON.

Redirectto Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales - There is no real reason for there to be separate articles that cover such closely related topics with much of the same information in both. The article with the actual gamebook as the subject is in slightly better shape - while most of the content is based on Dragon magazine, which is not a secondary source as it was an official D&D publication, it does at least cite a couple of reviews from other publications. And even the external links being used in this article are actually reviews on the gamebook. As there is no actually sourced information in this article, and as the vast majority of the information here is already present at the target, a simple redirect would suffice. Rorshacma ( talk) 06:58, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Merge to Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales - The improvements made to the article by Guinness323 should definitely be merged over to the other article, so changing my recommendation accordingly. Rorshacma ( talk) 02:41, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Merge selectively to Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales - That article has been created later than Masque of the Red Death (Ravenloft), it seems to me as a good faith unintentional WP:CONTENTFORK. So I think we should not have two articles, and as has been said, Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales is better developed at this point. I do believe a few things should be preserved in a merge as not present at the target, specifically a note of the related products (the d20 version, Dungeon adventures, The Gothic Earth Gazetteer).

WP:ATD is a redirect to
Northern Ukraine campaign. Alternatively, the article can be converted to the "Vasylkiv during the Russian invasion of Ukraine" (courtesy ping to proposer
Mr.User200), with a broader scope. Initial reports of a large-scale battle here do not seem to have manifested, and are likely a result of the fog-of-war.
Curbon7 (
talk) 03:28, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- I would agree that anything of value could be merged into Northern Ukraine campaign, though it already has a section Ukrainian victory at Vasylkiv and the content there probably requires review. A search of news here reterns only one hit for "Battle of Vasylkiv" (search in quotes) that is not Wiki or a Wiki mirror. This is not a "named" battle. The reports that do exist look more like smoke and mirrors and/or largely inflated. Cinderella157 ( talk) 04:11, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Move to
Vasylkiv attacks or
Vasylkiv during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There are sources giving sigcov to events in Vasylkiv during the initial invasion (like the Guardian and NYT articles), including the reports of Russian landing attempts, so
WP:GNG is satisfied. There were definitely missile attacks. There may have been incursions by sabotage groups. There may or may not have been an abortive Russian plan to seize the airbase. There probably were not cargo planes full of Russian troops shot down, but that this was reported is an event of the war. (The rooster should be mentioned.) —

- Merge to Northern Ukraine campaign -- Like other wars, not every action is independently notable. Sources here are WP:PRIMARYNEWS (and, no, lots and lots of news mentions in the weeks around the battle do not eliminated the need for secondary sources that analyse the longer-term WP:EFFECT required by WP:NEVENT), and there is lack of WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:DEPTH. There is no policy basis for this to be standalone article. Note to closer: If merge is not the consensus, please consider these as arguments for deletion.

WP:GNIS. Google maps does not have people who independently decide what labels to put on it, no one made an editorial decision determining this was a town and should have a label there: they just import data from the GNIS. Now where does GNIS come from? In 1978 (in this case), someone read the map I linked and recorded every name on it and gave them feature IDs. They also did not perform analysis on these features, and in many cases classified them as "populated place" even when (a) they weren't populated places at all and (b) that "populated place" is not actually a town, is just a neighborhood of sorts, or does not meet standards for a standalone article. Many times railroads had a station in rural areas and gave it a name and put it on the timetables, but again, that does not mean it was a town – sometimes the name was just a local landowner. GEOLAND does not say "all towns are notable", it says legally recognized places are presumed notable. But there having been a label on a map once does not mean it's legally recognized, is notable, or is even an actual town. We don't know that this existed!

The tracks have been replaced by a trail. gidonb ( talk) 11:30, 14 December 2023 (UTC)- I'd like to see proof of it being known for streams. And there's an "Ah, but" for this, too.
Ah, but: Minnesota doesn't legally recognize villages any more. It stopped doing so on 1974-01-01. There hasn't been any such legal entity as a village in Minnesota for 50 years minus a fortnight. ( S.F. 655, Chapter 123. Laws of Minnesota. 1973. p. 233.)
- I'd like to see proof of it being known for streams. And there's an "Ah, but" for this, too.
- There are only a few sparse structures on satellite and not much else besides forests and fields for miles in any direction. The railroad in question was dug out at some point years ago and is now labelled on GMaps as a "snowmobile trail" (although I assume the trail is also used for hiking and such in the summer).
- Per User:Uncle G, whatever "village" or "unincorporated community" claim there supposedly is isn't legally recognized anymore, and even if it was, there is hardly anything there to really justify a "village" or "unincorporated community" claim. Unless there is any other proof out there that this was an actual recognized settlement at some point, this was certainly just a marker for a railway stop and nothing more. Streetlampguy301 ( talk) 20:39, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- I never called this a village. That's in User:Uncle G's citation, who then raised this with me. Or maybe he was just thinking out loud. In any case, more scrutiny led me to believe that it is unclear whether this is a populated place/community/settlement or just some houses that share a road. Perhaps there was more there there in the past but I am not 100% sure even about of that. gidonb ( talk) 22:28, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete This is another sad example of a rural railroad waypoint being falsely described as a "community" based only on GNIS and maybe a place-names guide. This map: [79] shows Wahlsten to be located on land owned by a C. Wahlstein, strongly suggesting this was a flag stop named for the local landowner (this was once a common practice on railroads). Flag stops are not inherently notable, and without other information we have no evidence this was a populated OR legally-recognized place. The 1951 Biwabik NE, MN USGS topo map shows a level crossing with 1 (one) building: [80], nothing even approaching a community. It's therefore a fail of WP:GEOLAND and without secondary coverage a fail of WP:GNG also. WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk) 01:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

This is not quite an immediate deletion process and I await the community's view. If kept, I will be pleased. If deleted, I will correct anything I feel needs to be corrected in my reviewing.

Not about BDP
|
✘ No |
| This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{ source assess table}}. | ||||
- The article mentions that the BDP is notable for its connection to the Khilafat Movement, but I couldn't find any information on the Khilafat Movement Wikipedia page or in the articles linked to it.
- Lead mentions that he is an Islamic scholar but a WP:BEFORE on Google Books, scholar, JSTOR and newspaper returns with 0 results almost and I am not able to find primary sources of his works as well.
At this point [82] (not the assessment table above), Sources 1,2 and 4 are the same. 3 is unreliable per WP:RAJ and has no sigcov. 5 Only mentions BDP's father. 6 passes if someone can verify it. 8 is about BDP's son and not BDP themselves. Jeraxmoira ( talk) 08:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- @
Jeraxmoira: while I agree with you on SIGCOV, I can't see how the book written in 1992 by
Sarah F. D. Ansari, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London could possibly be considered unreliable under
WP:RAJ.

Curb Safe Charmer ( talk) 11:43, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment The article does its subject no favours - it begins "Sayyid Ihsanullah Shah Rashdi was an 19th century Islamic scholar" but the next section says he was born in 1896. The quote in the "death" section is mangled to make no sense. What were his actual achievements, beyond running a (private?) library? The
Sarah Ansari book Sufi Saints and State Power: the Pirs of Sind, 1843-1947 (Cambridge, 1992) ought to be an excellent RS, bang on this very obscure area, but it is only used to ref the litigation with his brother. He has no article in any other language.
Khilafat Movement lists two other books, from BRILL and Columbia, that ought to be RS & very much on this topic. Does he appear in either?

- Mar4d hasn't edited for 11 days, so I have gone ahead and accessed the first source (which most of the references rely on) through the Wikipedia Library, allowing me to download the 12 page PDF. I tried uploading it to Google Translate, which has a document translation facility, but this didn't work because the Urdu text is an image - it needs to be OCRed. I have been able to use Azure AI document intelligence to extract the Arabic script, and then used the translation facilities in Microsoft Word to translate the whole document. There are plenty mentions of the subject in the text - from what I can tell, most of the 12 pages of text is about him. Curb Safe Charmer ( talk) 21:22, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete: Per my previous comment and source assessment above. Events mentioned in the article are merely notable, there are no other sources to verify it and its vaguely supported by the major contributor's word/ translations. There are instances of them trying to add unsourced content and deliberately introducing factual errors on quoted statements (discussion is on their talk page).

- You may very well be right. There is, indeed, a systematic bias at play, but it is external to Wikipedia. Secondary sources - news, in this case - is biased in favour of covering Western world events. And since we here on Wikipedia are bound by the requirement to base our content on secondary sources, we end up with more coverage for events in the Western world whether we choose to or not. It's an unfortunate but unavoidable consequence of compiling an encyclopedia that isn't based on original research. Owen× ☎ 23:54, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

- Comment -- The new sourcing found by Left guide does include one excellent WP:SECONDARY reference, as the Express-Tribune article has some WP:DEPTH and analytical, non-primary content. The remaining sources, including the original cites, are still WP:PRIMARYNEWS. They are not continued WP:SIGCOV or WP:PERSISTENCE, just routine news announcements that report on a new development. That one secondary source is strong, however, but it's a very tenuous peg on which to hang this article, especially without any WP:GEOSCOPE. Without more such sourcing – or, even better, if they enact one or more of the recommendations specified in the Express-Tribune piece to satisfy WP:LASTING – I maintain that the article still does not pass WP:NEVENT.

Fails WP:NSOFT. Google search for Garmin BaseCamp finds just 11 references, the most in-depth any of them goes that isn't a download page or a WP:SPS is about four sentences on the topic. Google Books search finds several German guidebooks for Garmin GPSes that have a couple paragraphs of the software. Nothing in a Google News search. Newspapers.com had a handful of passing mentions (mostly the same coverage of a GPS being run in multiple Canadian papers.) The only articlespace page linking here is Base camp (disambiguation). Nat Gertler ( talk) 23:22, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- "Withdrawn by nominator" -- I'm withdrawing the article not for any of the reasons gone into below by the page creator (there are absolutely good reasons not to have articles on non-notable, still-alive software, as it will either need frequent updating or be out of date, and because it may often come up as the first result on a Google search while not offering the reader a better experience than the actual download page which may appear lower), but simply because I somehow biffed the WP:BEFORE. I'm not sure what I was doing that got 11 ghits, but I am now getting many more. This doesn't automatically mean that I think it is sufficiently notable -- the first screen of results were not things that contribute to notability -- but I haven't the energy at the moment to pick out the wheat from the chaff. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 19:13, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Where exactly is the harm in leaving this article be? It is neither nonsense, libellous, untrue nor written like an advertisement, and Wikipedia, being digital, is not bound by limits on physical size or weight; your book shelves are not going to collapse by leaving the article here, nor are the Wikipedia servers going to struggle with the sheer size of the article. "What is this BaseCamp thing?" is a valid thing for a user to wonder. Wikipedia can answer that question in a neutral and ad-free way, that is of course if you don't keep deleting things like this. Instead of coming up with ever more stringent a-priori requirements on "notability", ask yourself "could this information one day be of use to someone?".
On the question of "notability", the reason this policy was originally conceived is of course to keep contributors from creating pages on themselves, their dog and their impromptu band formed with two flatmates, or to keep Wikipedia from becoming free advertising space for commercial entities (and we have other policies to deal with that), but nowadays it seems to be used as an excuse for people who are looking to spend their free time looking for articles to delete from Wikipedia. I would urge you to look at other article quality measures as well, rather than using "notability" as the magic wand here.
I find myself wondering why I spend time on creating articles and other contributions to Wikipedia, if that means a lifetime of defending your content against the "deletionists". I think this eagerness to delete may ultimately harm the Wikipedia ecosystem more than it benefits it. Back when I was a student, do you know how discussions on contributing to Wikipedia went? A bit like this: "Have you ever contributed something to Wikipedia that wasn't removed immediately? No? Why bother then?". So really, this kind of behaviour can keep Wikipedia from attracting new contributors, and we should keep it from becoming some sort of dwindling in-crowd of self-proclaimed guardians of what can and cannot be included in Wikipedia, which apparently means that things can only be included if they're discussed in 20.000 other places as well. So what if it's a bit older or not used very much? It exists, the information is true and verifiable. If there are only a few paragraphs of factual information to give, why should that mean it's not a story worth telling?
So, before you decide to delete, ask yourself a few questions. Are you acting in the best interest of Wikipedia or are you only trying to win an argument? Are you acting in the best interest of Wikipedia or are you only trying to enforce a bureaucratic policy (see Vogons)? Create, don't destroy, it's a more useful way to spend your time. -- IByte ( talk) 14:21, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

The faith healing section was originally part of the main article but was lengthy and detailed enough for its own article as it was adding substantially to the main article which was to be condensed. This occurred in May 9 2015 by MaggieHood19
Sources are already well referenced, if there is an issue with "encyclopedic" tone, some specifics in this area to the problem sentences etc would be useful as objections currently too vague to be actionable by myself at least
In any instance, I plan to work on the article as needed, for example a neglected area is the opposition against McPherson in this area from theological view of Cessationism is the view that the “miracle gifts” of tongues and healing have ceased, at the end of the end of the apostolic age.
Granted more in this area could be done to explore the Cessationism aspect in the article and likely the only significant viewpoint missing since already there is the American Medical Association in San Francisco, Pastor Charles S. Price , (skeptic minister who came to believe after he saw) atheist, Charles Chaplin (skilled hypnotism and the power she commanded over the crowds); P.H. Welshimer of First Christian Church (hypnotism and "mesmeric power") and others in the Views on McPherson’s work section and elsewhere. SteamWiki ( talk) 00:22, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

The main article already has 204 references (although possibly some of those can be cut down IMO). Some of this material could be moved to Faith healing which currently only says "During the 1920s and 1930s, Aimee Semple McPherson was a controversial faith healer of growing popularity during the Great Depression." although that article also isn't designed to go into details about individual faith healers. If this article is kept it needs revision. johnmark†: Talk(talk to me) 00:48, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Keep(duplicate !vote struck Daniel ( talk) 03:28, 29 December 2023 (UTC)) I intend on working on the article, especially past the "holidays;" December a good month for editors to work on articles demanding attention buried as they can be with all the responsibilities of friends and family around this time of year LoL.
As before the "Cessationism" view needs to be included, this I already have text and a source from a famous minister of the time, it has to be properly edited before it can be added to the article.
Also, among other things, more details on McPherson's first faith healing by which she learned of it she herself; (broken ankle) healed by William Durham, who brought the Azusa revival to Chicago and its link to Pentecostalism and its traditions of divine healing.
The healing, stated, by McPherson, in a testimony, was done before 12 witnesses (one a skeptic who was astonished then joined the others in praise after he saw the cast removed from the healed foot) divided the congregation. Doubters did not think the foot had ever been broken, or did not believe it had been healed (Epstein p 59).
William Durham, attended the Azusa Street revival, initiated with African American preacher William J. Seymour who had established the Azusa Street Mission in 1906. was known also for its numerous statements by people of either faith healings they saw or received.
William Durham, himself was convinced; after severe attack of rheumatic fever in 1891, he survived by praying, confirming his belief in the doctrine of divine healing.
The period skeptic of the era angle, among with mesmerism, hypnotism etc also have examples of persons who were not healed. At this time I have not located any information or interviews by skeptics investigating those who emphatically claimed they were healed such as the Romani who came to Christ because of stated healings; nevertheless I have some examples of those, given by some skeptics, who wanted healing and did not get it and shall include those in the article as well.

Two minimally-sourced articles about municipal council elections in a suburban town. Wikipedia long ago deprecated the idea that we need a standalone article about every town or city council election on earth -- what we need to see, to render a town or city council election notable enough for a Wikipedia article, is a significant volume and depth of
reliable source coverage about the election to pass our notability criteria for events by establishing some context (specific issues that were debated, specific campaign proposals, etc.) for what would make the event significant to a wider audience than just Oakville alone.
But these are both just results tables with boilerplate process introductions, featuring absolutely no content about any specific issues that may have been involved in the campaign -- and one is referenced solely to the muncipal government's own
primary source election results on its own
self-published website, while the other adds just one piece of "incumbent mayor announces that she won't run again" in the town's own community hyperlocal, which isn't enough coverage to pass NEVENT all by itself.
In addition, it warrants note that the established consensus of
WP:CANADA for Ontario municipal elections has long been to have one omnibus article per county, region or district, rather than separate articles for each individual town or city in a county, region or district -- so Halton Region articles might be fine, if somebody can actually be bothered to write substantive articles with proper context and sourcing to establish their significance, but Oakville doesn't need its own standalone articles separately from Halton, and there isn't nearly enough context or sourcing here to make "move these to Halton Region and walk away" a viable alternative.

- Keep. I believe Oakville is large enough that it can warrant having articles on its own municipal elections. I mean, it does have more people than most of Ontario's counties and districts, which we've agreed get to have their own articles. Yes, ideally this would be merged with a greater article for Halton Region, but we don't have articles on Halton's other municipal elections in 2003, so I think it's fine to have a standalone article until that time comes. -- Earl Andrew - talk 18:29, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Not without
reliably sourcing its significance, it isn't. There's no such thing as "place large enough that its municipal elections are exempted from having to have any sourcing to establish their significance" — even Toronto and Montreal don't have municipal election articles because they're large, they have municipal election articles because GNG-worthy reliable sources establish their municipal elections as significant and enable us to write articles with substantive information beyond just a bunch of raw vote totals.

- Keep: sure, it's a "suburban town", but Oakville is also the 25th largest municipality in Canada, and the 11th largest in Ontario by population size. That, by itself, does not establish notability for this particular election, but it suggests reliable non-primary resources should be available, including coverage in national news outlets. Owen× ☎ 20:34, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- We don't keep articles on the basis of guesses about what reliable non-primary resources "should" be available — we keep or delete articles on the basis of hard evidence about what reliable non-primary resources have or haven't been demonstrated to exist. That is, we don't speculate that national news coverage might exist — if you can't show concrete evidence that national news coverage does exist, i.e. by showing actual proof that real pieces of national coverage really exist, then merely speculating that it could exist carries no weight. Bearcat ( talk) 21:20, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep -- This article is sourced exactly as well as most municipal elections, with local election-result outlets. Policy and precedence are in conflict here, and I would side with precedence. On virtually any other topic, I'd do the reverse, but elections have always been an odd duck in the encyclopaedia. I do not think that deletion of this particular article improves the encyclopaedia ( WP:DDH). Cheers, Last1in ( talk) 23:15, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- What precedent exempts election articles from having to have proper sourcing? Any plausible precedent for that was kiboshed at least a decade ago, and local election articles are now routinely deleted if they don't have adequate sourcing. We rely on media coverage, not just the town or city council's own self-published results on its own self-published website, to establish the notability of municipal elections, and these aren't citing media coverage — so they aren't "sourced exactly as well as most municipal elections" in any sense, because municipal elections get sourced to media coverage if they intend to get kept.
Bearcat (
talk) 00:41, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- I certainly agree with you on the policy side. As I said, I have always !voted on strict policy guidelines in anything other than local elections. However, a quick survey of a few dozen articles about municipal elections shows that most of them seems to have exactly the same sources and, presumably, precisely the same lack of wider (non-local) media coverage. I still don't think that deleting this (or the dozens of other, similar articles) improves the encyclopaedia, and I feel that this is an example of an encyclopaedic article with valid, useful information. I believe that's why AfDs are consensus-based discussions, to notice and act on cases where a strict application of policy hurts the encyclopaedia. I feel that this is such a case, and you don't. That's a reasonable part of discussion. If consensus agrees with your position, I will happily accept that. Cheers, Last1in ( talk) 17:01, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete There are several reasons for deletion, primarily WP:NOTDATABASE. While we generally should be fine with sourcing from a government website (in this case results of an election), the problem is that these pages are just that - simple reassertion of the data. There is no sourced content that indicates the significance of the election (either for the municipality or any of the candidates). Size of municipality does not mean (much) anymore and has no basis in policy, as Bearcat mentions. Also some of the information is contanined in 2003 Ontario municipal elections, whcih could be expanded so the information is not lost. -- Enos733 ( talk) 14:28, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Even the Globe and Mail (not in newspapers.com, but source added) weighed in when recount was conducted.-- Earl Andrew - talk 21:25, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: As @ Earl Andrew said, seeing as there are no articles about the Halton Region municipal elections in both 2006 and 2003, until the time comes that those exist it would be best to keep these to be transferred over.

- Delete Oakville isn't the type of city where the local elections have more than local importance, and there's no clear lasting coverage of the event. Just because a race is a close one doesn't mean an election necessarily qualifies for its own article. Furthermore, a clear ATD exists where this could me merged into the Halton region, but it should not be its own stand-alone page. SportingFlyer T· C 02:11, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: article is only of local interest. Therefore the topic fails WP:NOT (which needs to apply alongside WP:GNG to keep any article). More specifically WP:NOTDIRECTORY. बिनोद थारू ( talk) 04:53, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. The sources provide no convincing evidence of overall notability. Doczilla Ohhhhhh, no! 08:27, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. The coverage that I'm seeing here is extremely local in nature, and is routine coverage to boot. I don't see how a population of 200,000 is large enough to make the election so significant that we can ignore the lack of coverage. I'll also note that we don't have articles on many elections outside the global north in which the electorates were orders of magnitude larger. To be clear, I'm not saying that that is a reason to delete this; rather, that that lack shows there isn't a well-established or consistent precedent for local elections of a certain size, and that the lack of SIGCOV becomes harder to overcome as a consequence.

- (bit of a rant) A question: what is the point of having a criterion like that if there is absolutely no meaning to meeting it (which is essentially you're suggestion) - there should be some kind of presumption / immunity / some kind of less lenient treatment for subjects who were clearly stars in their country decades before the internet era, and in places where there is absolutely no way we can get the sources that we can be 99% sure they were covered in, absent something ludicrous like myself learning Japanese, traveling to Japan and digging through expensive offline library archives in the span of a week; now, besides that, at the Japanese wiki there are two offline sources that look like they've got a decent chance of being sigcov: one is titled "Kyohei Shio passes away - Melbourne Olympic track and field representative" from 47News (probably tossup as to whether its sigcov, but its a deadlink so we can't know as additionally the Wayback Machine never archived it on time) - then there's another one from the further reading section called "The Retsuden of Athletics" from an offline magazine.

BeanieFan11 (

- Agreed. As I see it, the whole point of having secondary criteria is that when someone meets that criteria, there's a presumption of notability. Obviously it would be nice if we could easily access archives going back half a century but as far as this deletion discussion goes, he meets a notability criteria for retention. Hopefully the article will be worked on further. DCsansei ( talk) 20:36, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Contested draftification of an article about a grandiose planned Saudi resort development. Draftified by User:AntiDionysius as promotional and advertising.

The text of the article is about what the Saudi government says about the planned resort, not about what third parties have said about it, so that it does not speak for itself. A check of the references shows that none of them are independent sources. They are all either publications by the Saudi government, or press releases by the Saudi government to news media, and so it does not satisfy general notability.

KeepMerge and redirect to Burton, Lincolnshire.Unsurprisingly, the Lincolnshire Echo has sustained coverage on the planning and proposals for, and objections to the development from 1992 onwards, with which to write a background to the development. It looks to have been controversial. They can be found in the the British Newspaper Archive. An example is here for those who have access: [24]. There's enough to pass the GNG. Although a part of of Burton civil parish, the Ordnance Survey does describe it as a village and it looks to have a resident population so may come within the scope of WP:GEOLAND as a legally recognised populated place with presumed notability. I did consider whether I was WP:CANVASSED and should express an opinion. I don't think User:DragonofBatley's notifications amount to WP:VOTESTACKING. I've had no prior discussion about this topic, so DragonofBatley had no idea of my opinion. Looking at the editors contacted they are regular contributors to WP:UKGEO. I'm firmly of the opinion this has been done to broaden the number of contributors to the discussion, not to sway the discussion in a specific direction. Rupples ( talk) 23:11, 21 December 2023 (UTC). Changed initial opinion for reason set out in reply to User:Reywas92 below.- Merge to
Burton, Lincolnshire. This seems to be a gated residential and marina development, not a real settlement (as shown by the mention of second home owners on the Parish Council website, and the fact that it has candle shop, cafes, giftshop etc rather than practical shops, church, etc: a visitor attraction). (Please link to that Parish Council website, especially if using if to assert notability). I've cleaned up some sloppy non-sentences, fixed a link to a dab page, removed a link to another dab page (please, Dragon, use the helpful gadget which helps editors avoid accidental links to dab pages: I've told you about it before. Or, please check carefully every link you make, to be sure it goes somewhere useful.), but am not convinced it has notability beyond its developers' publicity. Re JMF's point: according to MAPIT the pub is definitely in Burton CP, and the parish council does exist, just no-one has yet mentioned it in the article on the village. I think it's called "Burton-by-Lincoln" or similar - am on phone, too much effort to find it again.

- Yes, that's a valid point and the Burton article could do with additional content. While I believe there's sufficient sourcing to pass the GNG for a separate article on the topic, it doesn't need to have one and in any case the demographic stats cover both places. Changing opinion to merge. Rupples ( talk) 04:07, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. My opinion has fluctuated between keep and merge. The article has been expanded and refocussed on the development's/settlement's history since being nominated for deletion. Most of what could be taken as promotional referencing and text has been removed. I believe distinct settlements within the same parish that are physically separated from each other by non-built up land are normally covered by separate articles where sources are sufficient to write more than a stub. This is the case here. It is preferable for the
Burton, Lincolnshire article to be expanded with a separate history of the overall parish and village of Burton-by-Lincoln and the Burton Waters article wikilinked — a brief Google search reveals content that could be used to expand the Burton article. Other than a promotional sounding narrative on the parish council's website there seems little in common between the two villages.
[27] and thus little context would be added by combining the two articles into one.

Burton, Lincolnshire was recently changed away from being about the village to be an article on Burton civil parish, presumably in response to and help support a merge opinion at this AfD. Nothing wrong with that per se but I don't believe this route is preferable here now Burton Waters has been expanded. Burton Waters is a settlement and so has presumed notability under
WP:GEOLAND (there have been additional residential schemes built since the marina part opened and development is ongoing).

- Weak keep per improvements. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 18:35, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- I've remained off Wikipedia since this article was nominated for deletion. I made a bunch of improvements by researching more books and scholars mentions of BW. I found a lot of sources as shared above in my responses and I'm still of the opinion per
WP: Geoland and
WP: Notability. The article has enough stance to remain in place and when looking at the different sources from websites and news to books and history. There's plenty of material for the settlement to be notable and worth an article of its own. It has bus times and services listed, it has it's own estate, it has plenty of sign posts and also the pub there is the oldest building dating back to the 60s before the entire area was redeveloped and the land was all previously occupied. So I lean heavily towards Rupples and Crouch, Swales points but Burton isn't part of this area it's a separate settlement being nearly a mile or so away. It's in the same parish district and county of course but not the same bua with greenbelt between them. Also look at
Skellingthorpe (Great Northern Railway) railway station map coordinates and you'll see Burton Waters. Not that it served it but the site was near to the area. As well as said bus times/services and the Burton CP website among other things like books and the Burton Waters Cup. They all mention the area. So I feel the article can be improved but a rash deletion is not the way to do it. Be like putting Hykeham for deletion because of Birth and South Hykeham but the area is in Lincoln and notable so is Burton Waters.

I don't think this is even a "college newspaper", the website for an athletic program an athlete plays for is not independent. Second one is borderline. It's better, it's not literally the athletic program, but I would give it serious audience-size concerns. Third one is plainly a trivial mention. It's one paragraph in a list of 24 athletes. That's one borderline GNG source out of the three.

- Delete. Zero evidence of SIGCOV. The Chester County source has a blurb on the subject as it does on all the other 23 student athlete honorees for the fall season at Avon Grove HS. The blurbs were almost certainly only lightly adapted a submission by the school's athletic director, so likely not independent. Regardless, it's not SIGCOV and decidedly fails the requirement that coverage of HS athletes go way beyond local news reports. If this was all we needed to meet SPORTCRIT then all 24 of these high school athletes would merit articles (as would I!).
- First one is "The Official Website of Georgia State University Athletics". I don't think this is even a "college newspaper", the website for an athletic program an athlete plays for is not independent. Second one is borderline. It's better, it's not literally the athletic program, but I would give it serious audience-size concerns. Third one is plainly a trivial mention. It's one paragraph in a list of 24 athletes. That's one borderline GNG source out of the three.

here BNN states
We have provided evidence that disproves the allegations and wish to reiterate that we have no involvement in the subject matter of your previous report, which appears to be the focus of your new report.

BBC News:
ANI's news reports have found space in many mainstream Indian news outlets and publishers. Its content was further reproduced on more than 500 fake media websites across 95 countries, the researchers found. Websites identified by the report as fake media outlets include those owned by Big News Network, which describes itself as a "leading provider of news headlines with over 400 distinct categories of latest news".
- I quoted WP:NCORP as the guideline that this private news agency clearly fails. Would you mind sharing in-depth non-routine references that meets WP:CORPDEPTH standard?

- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/ WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "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. I dithered on this because of the EU Disinfo lab report(s) but they also do not provide sufficient detailed information about this company.

- I wonder how are we supposed to deal with articles like this - not just for DelState but for early college seasons as a whole, many of which were like this. Historically, we have regarded and usually kept every season of a Division I program (I can't recall one ever having been deleted). Would some type of merger be best? I don't particularly like the idea of a plain redirect as then all the details of the season is then lost; I still think we should have these details somewhere. Also worth noting that DelState is a historically black program; the white papers didn't tend to cover black teams and people all that well and the black papers of the time are almost exclusively offline or don't exist anymore.

- The NCAA didn't even have divisions until 1973. The fact that a school plays at this type of competitive level now has no bearing on the 1920s. The fact that you can't recall any of these being deleted just means these obscure topics have avoided scrutiny until now and it's a pain in the rear to deal with hundreds of such articles.

- Suggestion. The program was just getting started in the 1920s and played a total of only 10 games during the decade. I suggest merging the individual season articles into a single article covering Delaware State football "in the 1920s" or "early years" or "1924–1929". Such a solution has been followed for other programs, e.g., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1924 Michigan Mines football team (merging multiple articles into Michigan Tech Huskies football, 1920–1942) and is consistent with WP:NSEASONS ("In cases in which the individual season notability is insufficient for an article, multiple seasons may be grouped together in a single article.").

- Delete - as an initial note, I removed sources from the article, including
WP:PAGESIX, court records, and Twitter
[33], as well as blog posts
[34],
[35]. In the article, sources include a "LA Times Content Solutions"
source which is a promotional interview. There are also five sources listed to support article content stating Meyer gained national recognition for a case - but the coverage is about the case, without indication that anything about Meyer's work specifically became a focus of coverage or recognition. Then there are five sources about a case she lost, including what appears to be a duplicated AP reprint. There is also a Vanity Fair article that briefly mentions her twice in the same paragraph, about a deposition she conducted, and the court not making an adverse inference against the opposing party. There is also a non-working link to a Yahoo source, the
archive version shows it is Madamenoire, recycling
WP:PAGESIX etc. There is also
Venture Blvd, which looks a lot like a blog, and a
Whittier Daily News source about her and her husband and their house. There is also her HuffPost contributor profile, a link to something she wrote at CSQ, another profile page, and then three more news reports about court cases mentioning her briefly, including
WP:TMZ. Based on the available sources, it does not appear possible to write a balanced biography that is not
WP:PROMO, and
WP:BASIC/
WP:GNG also does not seem supported by independent, reliable, and secondary coverage.

Secondary coverage could include independent and reliable sources that analyze, evaluate, or interpret of her role and impact in the case - essentially some form of commentary about her role. From my view, that type of coverage, even if it is brief, could be combined with other independent, reliable, secondary coverage according to the

A source saying opposing counsel noted there could be "implications" for other parents and children in the future does not support referring to this family law trial court decision as precedent - no independent and reliable source appears to have said this trial court decision is precedent.

Removed fluffy language, added reliable sources ( removed generally unreliable sources to the best of my ability), removed Meyer's clients Sebastien Izambard, Donna D'Errico, Kenya Barris, Kelly Clarkson ex-husband found in court docs but without RS sources, and included more details about the Abbie Cohen Dorn case while avoiding what may appear to be original research.

- Comment - Developing
encyclopedic content requires more than
verifiability, particularly in
biographies of living people. Various policy-based reasons include (according to
WP:NOTNEWS) the need to consider
the enduring notability
of people, becausemost newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style
, and because Wikipedia is not a means of promotion, e.g.Wikipedia articles about a person, company, or organization are not an extension of their website, press releases, or other social media marketing efforts
. And when developing an article, particularly with sensationalized news coverage, the WP:NOTSCANDAL policy should be considered, becausecontent about living people are required to meet an especially high standard, as they may otherwise be libellous or infringe the subjects' right to privacy
- parties to cases are also protected by BLP policy.So the HuffPo contributor and CSQ Magazine contributor profiles, news reports about other people that briefly mention Meyer represents a party, a post from informationliberation.com about an "Instahoe" and Elon Musk comments, and a link to a podcast Meyer appeared on, do not help support notability nor develop encyclopedic content according to guidelines or policy. If there is independent, reliable, secondary coverage about Meyer and/or her work, I continue to encourage posting sources in this discussion, to make review easier, because Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. Thank you, Beccaynr ( talk) 22:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC) - Comment: Here is what I believe to be independent, reliable, and secondary coverage of the Abbie Cohen Dorn case.

- This
WP:BOMBARDMENT seems to help show there were two flurries of coverage, in April 2010 and March 2011, and we do not have information about what happened after the temporary court order, and there also does not seem to be substantial commentary about the impact of the case nor Meyer's role. Based on the notability guideline, building a
neutral and balanced article does not seem possible if the article will primarily be based on brief mentions in sensationalized news focused on other subjects.

Although Meyer is quoted saying “we think that this is just the beginning, that their time with their mother will increase as they get older", I see no evidence that the court order is still in effect.

promotion of her own importance or the importance of the case is not independent support for her notability. And our own opinions or speculation about
what may happen in the future does not help support notability or encyclopedic content.

- Comment: Dorn was scheduled to receive three-hour visits daily for five days each summer at her parents' residence in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Alongside the five-day visits, Abbie Dorn also was able to speak with her children by Skype for 30 minutes on the first Sunday of each month in an attempt to maintain a parental relationship with them. The ruling also required the father to display photographs of Abbie Dorn on a table or shelf in the children’s bedrooms. As I said, this ruling could play a role for future cases but missing the sources needed to support claims. BeFriendlyGoodSir ( talk) 19:02, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hesitant delete, though I would also support a rename/reframe. The coverage that I can see that has any substance has to do with the 2011 case involving visitation rights. There is a lot of such coverage, but it seems to be tangential to the lawyer and focused on the case. To me this suggests the case is notable, and the lawyer is not, as everything else is constructed of passing mentions. I don't think detailed coverage of a single case necessarily makes a lawyer notable. Vanamonde93 ( talk) 10:31, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

One of the strange things about it is that DVD copies list critical praise and acclaim that is hard to find from third-party sources that meet our WP reliability standards, largely as a result of websites shuttering since the film's 2008 release. I did not mean to delete WP:PROD immediately by my objection, instead hoping to spend the next few days working on improving the article and trying to find more sources, as I have great respect for the work Fram in particular has done for our Wikipedia community.

This is the high-profile nature of the cast, with the exception of the secondary lead as the only major role who doesn't have a Wikipedia page.

The article is a WP:COATRACK of original research based on WP:SYNTHESIS, covering multiple distinct definitions of the word "enlightenment" in English in a way that confuses both the concepts and the reader. Various culture's forms of religious experience should not be merged together in such an unsupported and syncretic way. Buddhist definitions of enlightenment are extremely clear about its attributes; while the Hindu concept of moksha is similar, it is not identical - the attributes of beings who have attained moksha do not include many of the qualities that Buddhists attribute to enlightenment. Buddhist sources such as Jigme Lingpa's Treasury of Precious Qualities go into detail about the distinct differences between enlightenment and liberation, an identity which is simply assumed in this article without a shred of support. The Christian meaning is different still. The article ignores sources which contrast rather than conflate the topics. This is an example of sloppy New Age thinking, conflating distinct topics which should be covered separately. If anything, an article contrasting the differences would be more honest than an article using synthesis in an attempt to pursue the New Age agenda that "it's all the same" or "all paths lead to the same place". They don't. Most of the sections are simply short summaries of their main articles that do not in any way connect the material to the word "enlightenment"; many don't even contain the word!

- Delete – at first glance it does seem like a well-sourced article with a long history of contributions from many authors; however, upon further reading its WP:SYNTH qualities become apparent. I think it might have been nice to have an article covering why all these disparate concepts got translated to the same word "enlightenment" in English and how they got adopted by New Age practitioners in the West, but this isn't that – in fact, it's an example of that New Age thinking itself. It assumes a connection between tons of different religious concepts purely based on the fact that English explorers in India used the same word for ideas in the many religions they encountered. Deleting this article would not result in a loss of knowledge, as there are already detailed articles on kenshō, satori, kaivalya, moksha, mahavira, and kevala jnana which are all better than the poor treatment here.

- Seems to me that this is an argument for a merge to Religious syncretism or some other page.

JMWt ( talk) 07:43, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Neutral - but convincing arguments, though I don't think that the word "enlightenment" has such a clear-cut meaning in Buddhism; it may refer to both initial awakening or insight, and 'final' of 'full' liberation (if such a state really exists). Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:34, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- That's only because you are mixing terms from Zen with terms from Indo-Tibetan Buddhism and considering them the same. The definitions of Enlightenment in Tibetan Buddhism are detailed, and include lists of attributes of body, speech, and mind: an Enlightened being has specific bodily indications; there is a detailed list of negative emotional states that no longer arise; a being who is merely a Bodhisattva on the 8th bhumi can understand and speak all languages, for example. The article suggests that the attributes of enlightenment and the attributes of moksha are the same; but Mahayana Buddhists define one of the qualities of a Buddha is that they choose to come back to help others; one can attain moksha without developing this attitude. Liberated beings intend not to reincarnate ever again; Enlightened beings intend to manifest within samsara to aid other beings to enlightenment. This is only the most major difference. Vajrayana recognizes the state of "personal liberation" as distinct from "enlightenment", and Jigme Lingpa gives detailed descriptions of each and the differences between them. Skyerise ( talk) 11:54, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep It seems like with that logic, "spirituality" shouldn't have an article either? There is no official text for spirituality, but it's a concept that's been so widely used as to be an obvious topic of interest, where the nuances are broken down within the article. Same goes for spiritual enlightenment. Like it or not, syncretic belief systems are extremely widespread. This is a common term and a common concept.

- Comment: the term "enlightenment" as it relates to Asian religions, and the one used in "Age of Enlightenment" are so different, some languages do not even use the same word for both. In Chinese, for example, one uses a character associated with awakening, while the other uses a character related to uncovering a truth. The fact that both ended up using the same word in English and in some other languages is a linguistic artifact, not a shared underlying concept. At best, this should be a disambiguation page - which we already have. Owen× ☎ 20:04, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTDICT. Wikipedia organizes articles by what things are, not by what they're called. This is essentially a list of usages of the word enlightenment, puffed up so that each definition reads somewhat encyclopedically at first brush. But just because one can staple together a few different usages doesn't mean that there is a coherent topic. To the extent that the juxtaposition insinuates that these are all the same thing, it's WP:SYNTH. The idea that all these varied enlightenments are the same, or aspects of the same, is itself a POV that must be treated as such. XOR'easter ( talk) 21:44, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete: a project of this size is unlikely to be notable and no sources contributing to notability have been presented. The article consists of extremely quickly dated primary source statistics and niche inner community workings that only show existence. There is no analysis of impact of the Wikipedia on the Classical Chinese language. There is no consensus on en.wiki that we evaluate articles on Wikipedia outside normal notability guidelines (indeed, some worry Wikipedia-based articles are acts of navel-gazing). — Bilorv ( talk) 16:41, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge with Academic grading in the United States - I don't buy the argument that sources that explain that XF is a grade assigned for academic dishonesty, however many times it is said, provide significant coverage to write something encyclopaedic about the grade. It is not irrelevant, but there is not significant non trivial coverage here to write an encylopaedic article on the grade code itself. Academic dishonesty is a subject and so, it seems, is Academic grading in the United States. This information belongs in the latter, but should not be spun out from there.

This is a very curious article. It has been nominated twice and failed twice, mainly due to sources from multiple media outlets from before 2010 (see previous noms). Further, due to the browser redirecting scheme I suspect they were born as paid articles. However, they all mention LimeLife as a mobile phone company. Sometime between now and then LimeLife became a (alleged MLM) cosmetics company. Whether that LimeLife is the same as this LimeLife remains a mystery. Since the new LimeLife fails GNG I am unable to find independent sources referencing it as a cosmetics company. In any case, it is safe to assume the old LimeLife is long dead. I am curious to see where this AfD will go. RetroCosmos ( talk) 17:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

- Revert the hijacked article back to
Special:Permalink/058694903, the Dec 2021 version of the women-oriented digital media company. Hijacking an article should not result in the deletion of the original article. Standards have changed since the article was kept at AfD in 2012, so it can be renominated for deletion if desired. Hijacking an article is not acceptable on Wikipedia so there is no need to even consider the acceptability of the current contents.

ayakanaa (

- Delete per Timothy, AndyTheGrump, and Jebiguess; perhaps merge information into Siege of Gaza City if it is not already there. I will add that a Google search for the exact string "battle of Beit Lahia" only returned pages directly related to this Wikipedia article, like List of engagements during the 2023 Israel-Hamas war and some person's edit history, in addition to an article describing some events in 2004 as such, and a work of historical fiction. SaintPaulOfTarsus ( talk) 14:43, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge to 2023 Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip -- Not every event in this conflict is independently notable. This portion of the invasion has zero WP:SECONDARY analysis, and it is not named as a 'battle' even in primary sources. It cannot pass WP:GNG, much less WP:NEVENT. To be ready for mainspace, it would need strong secondary sources (plural) with WP:DEPTH, WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:GEOSCOPE, none of which are likely.

Much like "Battle of Beit Lahia," the precise term "Battle of Beit Hanoun" does not exist in RS, including the page's own references, so it is not clear if it passes WP:GNG.

Keep: coverage by BBC and others establishes notability. Whether it was launched or not is irrelevant. We have many articles for products and projects that never came to fruition, and there's no policy to remove such articles.

OwenX, I should have clarified
Wikipedia:CRYSTALBALL, I meant that it is very unlikely that there will be more info about this particular product from Samsung in the near future, I just mentioned crystal ball because it is a nice idea to have "an invisible keyboard", but since this particular product didn't launch, we can't predict that there will be another product implementing this idea, thus I think it shouldn't have a standalone article.

- Also,
coverage by BBC and others establishes notability
. Since the only coverage is about announcement, I believe it is not enough for notability:a burst of coverage (often around product announcements) does not automatically make a product notable
per WP:NSOFT. Deltaspace42 ( talk • contribs) 17:15, 21 December 2023 (UTC)- I understand your point, and agree that such a burst of coverage does not automatically establish notability, and you are correct that we are unlikely to get additional sources about this concept. My claim is that when you take BBC along with all the other sources, this concept of a product marginally passes our usual threshold of notability.
- That said, in an effort to drive to a consensus here, how would you feel about merging this article to
Virtual keyboard? We certainly have more than enough sources here for a section in the target page.

I hate to nominate the article for deletion, but after wanting to expand this article several times and basically examining most, if not all sources out there for Dennaton, all of the available ones are just development info for Hotline Miami.

- Delete. Dennaton Games is merely the collective name for two otherwise independent developers. I would argue that, other than "they got together" and "they made Hotline Miami", there is very little actual information on the duo as a duo.

- Unsure but likely keep so for now sharing some sources I found; the article currently isn't great but it was also only 71 minutes old when nominated for AFD. There's a lot of routine coverage in reliable sources, way more than is normal for corp articles that are deleted in my experience. What was source 4 (more sources since added) ("Red alert") is not solely an interview; since this nom someone else already added "How Red Light Management is breaking new acts during the pandemic". www.musicweek.com. Retrieved 2023-12-07., which says there's additional feature coverage behind a paywall (which I haven't found that particular source yet). In Virginia newspapers there's some additional coverage of them working on a new venue, one example Roanoke council will hear report Monday on ideas for amphitheater. There's some real, but not huge, coverage of Red Light in a couple of books abut DMB's Dave Matthews Band : music for the people, The Dave Matthews Band : step into the light, and Dave Matthews Band FAQ (which seems to be from a somewhat real publisher). There's also some that are, as far as I can tell, only behind paywalls: RED ALL OVER. another part interview, part feature, excerpt "Red Light is one of the biggest management companies in the world, with a UK office that’s grown rapidly since opening in 2012. But how can such an expansive business stay true to its independent and artist-friendly roots? And what does its future in Europe hold?" BRIGHT LIGHTS., I think the match to How Red Light above, interviews with multiple staff members of Red Light (mentioned to show availability of sources to expand article not just for notability); Red alert: How Red Light’s expanding UK operation is taking over the charts; Light up: Red Light expands with 'powerhouse' dance duo the duo is Sigma and it also includes a mini article titled "Red Light redemption: Game on for management firm".

- Keep (maybe weak?) I think for me. I agree it's not a 100% clear NCORP pass with the exact coverage I've found. Music Week seems to be seen as generally reliable trade publication (
search results in the RS noticeboard). Most business coverage outside of the large will have quotes/interviews from the business itself and so the question is if the resultant. So both the trade status and the "feature"ness of the Music Week pieces bring
Trade publications must be used with great care. While feature stories[3] from leading trade magazines may be used where independence is clear, there is a presumption against the use of coverage in trade magazines to establish notability.
from WP:NCORP into play (the ref note isA feature story is usually a longer article where the writer has researched and interviewed to tell a factual story about a person, place, event, idea, or issue. Features are not opinion-driven and are more in-depth than traditional news stories.
.A new-to-me article from Music Week covering Red Light Management: < https://www.musicweek.com/management/read/red-light-x-atlantic-inside-the-management-firm-s-new-songwriting-camp-for-uk-hitmakers/087060>:Red Light Management has launched its songwriting camp series with an inaugural week-long event for Atlantic artists at RAK Studios in London.

To step out of pure policy-based reasons arguments, there is a huge amount of coverage of artists getting deals with and leaving Red Light, along with lots of coverage of employees joining and departing. Looking in that vein, there is < https://www.billboard.com/pro/mary-hilliard-harrington-red-light-management/> which really seems about as much about Red Light as Hilliard:Red Light Management is beefing up its already significant Nashville presence with the hiring of Mary Hilliard Harrington in a senior management capacity. ... The new team will be based out of the office Red Light recently moved into in the Gulch neighborhood of Nashville. Harrington brings with her two staffers from her previous management firm and two new hires. Stephanie Johnson, who handles day-to-day management for Bentley, and Kevin Grace, who works on the digital and creative content side for all of Harrington’s clients....
And < https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/tim-mcgraw-signs-red-light-83138/> in 2009 has a short but solid info about of Red Light:Based in Charlottesville, Va., Red Light Management was founded by Capshaw in 1991 at the beginning of his 18-year role as the personal manager of Dave Matthews Band. The company has grown into one of the most active artist management companies in the industry.
Also for McGraw's signing, and this article in Billboard had more than I realized (looks like ~15-20 sentences about Red Light, still a mix of reporting, quotes from Capshaw, and McGraw) so I hadn't included it before: [62]/ [63] "Touring over a new leaf: with a new managers and ambitious concert plans, Tim McGraw isn't resting on his laurels":When word came last April that McGraw signed with Red Light Management, many on Music Row were taken by surprise. Capshaw, a Charlottesville, Va.-based entrepreneur with a wide-ranging portfolio—including real estate and a brewery—is perhaps best-known as manager of Dave Matthews Band, founder of direct-to-fan pioneer MusicToday (now part of Live Nation) and co-founder of ATO Records. Red Light's roster is very deep and diverse, but McGraw is the first established mainstream country star to enter the fold.
as a snippet.I don't really like WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments but compared the majority of company articles we have (let alone comparable companies) this one has a much better claim to notability. (And the raw number of times a person quoted is ID'd as working there or a photo of a musician is via courtesy them makes finding more in-depth sources harder.) So, to justify my weak keep, I think the coverage of them working on the new music venue in Virginia, the Music Week features (both the multiple articles issue in 2023 as well as the full page in 2019 about signing Sigma + Red Light's attempts at getting into gaming), and coverage of them in the context of BMB's founding, and coverage of hiring/signing together meets NCORP. I think really going through all the sources, esp if someone had access to the Billboard Pro content as well, this would be a solid keep given its history. (Apologies for the length, I'm not sure why I've spent this much time on this and really need to pause but hopefully will be able to incorporate some of this into the now-cut down article if kept.)

- Merge into Oasis Academy Mayfield, or keep per WP:RECENT/ WP:NTEMP. Although there aren't many sources relating to it under this final name, there are many more that relate to its previous name (Weston Park Boys' School) - enough to easily satisfy WP:GNG.

- Comment. It looks as though the Grove Park name was short-lived, but I haven't found a source dating the change of name from Weston Park. This about the school's football team winning the national English schools under-16 football trophy uses the Weston Park name in 2005. [64] The article states Grove Park was closed in 2008. Oasis Academy I believe has been built on the Weston Park/Grove Park site so could in essence be seen as a continuing educational institution under a different name, management and new buildings, but against this is that it's a merger of two schools. Notes on the predecessor schools in the Oasis Academy Mayfield history section would help to explain how the current academy came into being. If kept the article should probably be retitled "Weston Park Boys' Secondary School". The National Archives just refers to the Weston Park name. [65]. Worth reading this for background. [66].

Applied Economics and
Physica A are most definitely *not* predatory journals; there is no basis for the claim that
"These are completely unknown journals that churn out rubbish."
Regards, -- Goldsztajn ( talk) 06:25, 26 December 2023 (UTC) - Keep There is clearly sections of the article that are WP:SYNTH (in particular the individual country sections), however, there's a difference between an article containing SYNTH material which can be removed as against a topic which is SYNTHESIS. Furthermore, WP:NTEMP - notability is not temporary. Finally, the origin of a topic is immaterial to a consideration of notability - it might affect where we write about the topic (simplistically, does Windows get covered by itself or as part of Microsoft?), but we need only consider whether or not there is SIGCOV in reliable sources to determine notability. No evidence has been provided that *all* the sources listed above are predatory publications. I find the following three reliable sources spanning a seven year period more than adequate to satisfy the GNG. [1] [2] [3]

CIVETS are a group of such countries with fast growing economies. Economists often call this group 'tiger economies'. There is no geographical explanation for the formation of this group, which additionally includes structurally diverse economies. However, despite geographical dispersion and obvious variations, these countries have large and predominantly young population, a high level of domestic consumption and economies that are greatly based on products, while their financial systems are highly developed and modern. CIVETS countries generally do not record high inflation rates. Further, fiscal deficits have increased as a result of global economic crisis, but public debt in the CIVETS counties is still fairly low, and all the countries in this group appeared to be relatively immune to recent global recession, which is, generally speaking, only the proof of quality and properly created policy in the previous period. Even political risks in these countries are not high any more, therefore, although a certain risk is still present, all these countries have good prospects to remain stable. However, it is important to mention that CIVETS countries have not shown any interest in coordination of their foreign policies related to investment issues

Despite the fact that most CIVETS countries acceded to the WTO in 1994 (effective as of 1995) with a strategic view to adjusting to neoliberal ideas and so to participate in the global trade and investment environment, the decision to embrace the neoliberal logic was proximately responding to the pressure to overcome the financial crisis of the 1980s by accepting and implementing IMF recommendations. Furthermore, during the 1990s and the early 21st century, most CIVETS' policy-makers were either trained in the US or adopted the ideas of the Washington Consensus through their foreign affairs advisory bodies. In that context, it is clear that the phenomenon of policy convergence is easier to understand when the ideas and background of the main leaders are included as one of the variables of analysis.

CIVETS as a group playing a more and more important role in the world economy, is even considered as "the next BRICs". However, no comparative analysis of knowledge-based economy performance and scientific research performance between the two country groups has been conducted from the perspective of scientometrics.

WP:Non-encyclopedic cross-categorization (thus satisfying

), but I also have to say that this is pretty transparently promotional—a prestige-measuring contest between universities, if you will. That also falls under the broader heading of WP:NOT, specifically WP:NOTPROMO: Wikipedia is not the university's PR team and should not act as if it were. This of course applies to all such lists for various universities. This article in particular doesn't exactly hide that it's also a work of WP:Original research, cross-referencing company founders with alumni. Where's the reliable source that made this cross-categorization on a group level, and why isn't it cited? My suspicion is that it simply does not exist. This kind of WP:SYNTH nightmare is the reason List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation had to be remade from scratch, but in that case we actually had a proper list external to Wikipedia to base it upon.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Doczilla @SUPERHEROLOGIST 18:52, 29 November 2023 (UTC)- Keep - Rizwan Sajan satisfies the notability criteria for biographies as outlined in WP:BIO due to significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources (WP:RS) such as Arabian Business, Gulf News. His entrepreneurial activities and leadership roles within the Danube Group are well-documented, and his involvement in notable projects and philanthropic efforts has been recognized by reputable awards (WP:ANYBIO). The subject's impact on the business sector in the UAE is further corroborated by coverage in Forbes Middle East, (Staff) establishing his notability within the context of WP:GNG. The article should be retained and can be improved by incorporating additional secondary sources that meet WP:V and WP:NPOV. Upon further investigation, the nominator seems to have almost no experience with wikipedia. In fact, @ Tagishsimon edit history shows only deletion nominations, and what seems to possibly be vandalism by tagging. and nominating. Nominator makes this AfD suspicious. May take to Ani. These do not seem like WP:Goodfaith edits.

The article has been unsourced since 2013, though I'm sure routine coverage can be found to verify the list of performers (if nothing else). I'm not sure what the encyclopedic value/precedent is for determining whether list articles such as this one should exist.

- Keep: There's no failure of
WP:NPOL, because Alemparte has received an important coverage from media (both pro-government and Boric-opponent media, for example El Desconcierto or Ex-Ante). Similarly, Alemparte has held state–offices like the surrogate mayor's office of Maipú or even the position of Chief of staff of ministeries during the governments of Michelle Bachelet.--
Carigval.97 (

- Evidently fails NPOL. Never elected to an office, fails NPOL, and has never held any state-office', that is blatantly untrue. In Chile, the equivalent of state/province-wide office is gobernador regional, delegado presidencial regional, delegado presidencial provincial, and in general members of Consejos Regionales and members of the Parliament, in addition to Cabinet members. Mayors, for instance, are not inherently notable, unless it is Santiago or regional capitals. Bedivere ( talk) 02:16, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- I repeat, despite Alemparte's offices, you are ignoring a point that establishes the same rule you cited ( WP:NPOL): 'Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage' (in Alemparte's cases: Radio Bío-Bío, La Tercera, El Desconcierto, Diario Financiero, etc). In the US, there's the case of Tony Podesta, a lobbist and activist (as you say about Alemparte) who has not held any position (neither in a political party nor in the state) and who has had press coverage given his controversies.-- Carigval.97 ( talk) 14:00, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

- He was just an interim mayor, as he was appointed by the incumbent mayor temporarily and held the office just for a little time. That does not confer notability at all. You can imagine, had we taken that stance, there would be hundreds of thousands of articles about such "surrogate mayors" (as Carigval mentions them). Bedivere ( talk) 02:18, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment The sentence 'Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage' in WP:NPOL is not a pass/fail criteria like the other bullets in NPOL. The SNG is written in a way to provide automatic passes to national and statewide elected officials. Because many elected officials serve in local offices, with powers and responsibilities that vary greatly, the SNG provides a way for local officials to meet our communities notability standard by meeting GNG. So, if the individual does not hold an elected or appointed federal/ statewide position, we must apply GNG and evaluate the sourcing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enos733 ( talk • contribs) 18:15, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Bedivere, the NPOL applies —as Carlos Yo, 6UNKR, and Enos have also expressed (this last one in the edition history)—... Partially, but it applies (for the significant press coverage). Similarly, Alemparte passes GNG because at least fourteen reliable, independent, secondary, and published sources provide significant coverage specifically about him (Alemparte).

- Please read carefully NPOL. If this person fails NPOL, as they do, it could still pass GNG. My opinion is that he doesn't. While he has made controversial remarks as a result of his participation on a TV show, that does not make him notable. Furthermore the article reads like a CV. That's why I ask @
SportingFlyer to reconsider. This seems to me like a promotional effort in favor of Alemparte.

- I've re-reviewed the article and done a source search and even when you discard Sin Filtros and interviews, I think there's still enough there to pass GNG. There's just quite a bit of coverage from all corners in the past couple years or so. I've also seen articles that read far closer to CVs than this one.

here from a cursory glance. He's been the protagonist of numerous games so far, enough to comprise a series larger than most video game series. I'm still not sure whether he is notable, but it's almost certainly going to involve solely Japanese sources.

Weak keep In addition to the above sources, I found this significant coverage as part of a feature on animal stars in games in a Chinese magazine.

- Zx, with respect, you always seem to be under the impression that if a subject is notable by Wikipedia's definition, then a stand-alone article is justifiable without exception. We can assess each case independently on whether it is merited ("presumed" part of GNG). I do think that Toro is a "notable" subject (in the general sense of the term), but it's a weak case for a stand-alone Wikipedia article. The sources you listed are all short blurbs, except the article about his (and other characters') birthday event. There isn't much to say about him; the article would be short. Given the fact that Doko Demo Issyo is the parent subject, and Toro is often discussed in context of the series, I think it would be more effective to have one article about the series and its games, with a section about Toro as sort of being a legacy of the series.

- I'm not sure what's so odd about thinking that - WP:NOTMERGE says that merging should be avoided if "The topics are discrete subjects warranting their own articles, with each meeting the General Notability Guidelines, even if short." Your entire argument hinges around articles being too short, which the page explicitly says should not be used as a rationale unless they are "one or two sentences" long, which is much shorter than the current state of the article, much less its potential size when expanded. The point is that merging is entirely up to personal opinion/consensus, but there is no rule requiring short notable articles to be merged unless people decide it so. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 07:28, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

No indication of passing WP:NB. While the book appears to exist, the entry is entirely unsourced, and has been tagged as such since 2007. I conducted a WP:BEFORE search, which consisted almost entirely of a different thing, Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens, and terms not relevant to the actual book. A search on other Wikipedias did not probe anything substantial either, except a singular catalogue entry from the Italian Wikipedia which merely documents its existence and provides nothing else. I was thinking it would maybe pass because of criteria 5, but I didn't find anything that would indicate this book as a part of Asimov's biography, aside from him being the author of the book.

- Comment The best notability case here would I think have to rest on WP:NB 5, and the idea that when we have an author of such major prominence it is desirable for completeness sake to summarize the contents of every story in Nightfall and Other Stories (where currently every story is a bluelink). Searching scholarly databases, all I find on a first look are a few articles like this one which use the story in a training corpus to study narrative point of view-- certainly not sigcov of the story.
- It's possible that some extended discussion of this story has happened within sources that don't mention it in the title, e.g., in the prefaces of scholarly editions; articles about the Nightfall book; articles about Asimov / sci fi in general... part of why I'd entertain an NB5 rationale is that I can easily imagine such coverage existing somewhere, especially in non-digitized sources closer to its first publication. But without said coverage in hand, I don't want to make a keep argument. I can't do more digging now but will come back if I find more. ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 04:57, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Jclemens (

- @ Jclemens: Nah. It's a short story, not a book, so NBOOK does not properly apply. In particular, NBOOK criteria 5 is not valid, since the story is not likely to meet "Threshold standards" (being held in a major library), and anyway, NBOOK states that "Articles that are plot summaries" are not valid. Find sources that show some coverage of this first. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:41, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

2016 Wake Forest Demon Deacons football team#Leaks of plays where it's covered in more detail and actually explained. There's definitely reliable sources, but the article is a single sentence long and doesn't appear significant enough (long term) and seems better suited to be a part of the season article.

Redirectto Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales - There is no real reason for there to be separate articles that cover such closely related topics with much of the same information in both. The article with the actual gamebook as the subject is in slightly better shape - while most of the content is based on Dragon magazine, which is not a secondary source as it was an official D&D publication, it does at least cite a couple of reviews from other publications. And even the external links being used in this article are actually reviews on the gamebook. As there is no actually sourced information in this article, and as the vast majority of the information here is already present at the target, a simple redirect would suffice. Rorshacma ( talk) 06:58, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge selectively to Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales - That article has been created later than Masque of the Red Death (Ravenloft), it seems to me as a good faith unintentional WP:CONTENTFORK. So I think we should not have two articles, and as has been said, Masque of the Red Death and Other Tales is better developed at this point.

- I would agree that anything of value could be merged into Northern Ukraine campaign, though it already has a section Ukrainian victory at Vasylkiv and the content there probably requires review. A search of news here reterns only one hit for "Battle of Vasylkiv" (search in quotes) that is not Wiki or a Wiki mirror. This is not a "named" battle. The reports that do exist look more like smoke and mirrors and/or largely inflated. Cinderella157 ( talk) 04:11, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Move to
Vasylkiv attacks or
Vasylkiv during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There are sources giving sigcov to events in Vasylkiv during the initial invasion (like the Guardian and NYT articles), including the reports of Russian landing attempts, so
WP:GNG is satisfied. There were definitely missile attacks. There may have been incursions by sabotage groups. There may or may not have been an abortive Russian plan to seize the airbase. There probably were not cargo planes full of Russian troops shot down, but that this was reported is an event of the war. (The rooster should be mentioned.) —

- Merge to Northern Ukraine campaign -- Like other wars, not every action is independently notable. Sources here are WP:PRIMARYNEWS (and, no, lots and lots of news mentions in the weeks around the battle do not eliminated the need for secondary sources that analyse the longer-term WP:EFFECT required by WP:NEVENT), and there is lack of WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:DEPTH. There is no policy basis for this to be standalone article. Note to closer: If merge is not the consensus, please consider these as arguments for deletion.

She bowled for the Canadian youth league in 2003 and 2004; qualifying scores in the 2006 Cup; that she had also bowled in the 2005 Cup, also alongside Michael Schmidt; that her rank in 2005 was 31, so she moved up 10 places, good on her; and that there are more listings on reddit for Wikipedia AfD than I'd ever cared to wonder about.

WP:GNIS. Google maps does not have people who independently decide what labels to put on it, no one made an editorial decision determining this was a town and should have a label there: they just import data from the GNIS. Now where does GNIS come from? In 1978 (in this case), someone read the map I linked and recorded every name on it and gave them feature IDs. They also did not perform analysis on these features, and in many cases classified them as "populated place" even when (a) they weren't populated places at all and (b) that "populated place" is not actually a town, is just a neighborhood of sorts, or does not meet standards for a standalone article. Many times railroads had a station in rural areas and gave it a name and put it on the timetables, but again, that does not mean it was a town – sometimes the name was just a local landowner. GEOLAND does not say "all towns are notable", it says legally recognized places are presumed notable. But there having been a label on a map once does not mean it's legally recognized, is notable, or is even an actual town. We don't know that this existed! If you can find significant coverage about a town beyond some guy going to the ruins of the station, then we can talk. The same goes for any of the articles you made.

Ah, but: Minnesota doesn't legally recognize villages any more. It stopped doing so on 1974-01-01. There hasn't been any such legal entity as a village in Minnesota for 50 years minus a fortnight. ( S.F. 655, Chapter 123. Laws of Minnesota. 1973. p. 233.)

- Per User:Uncle G, whatever "village" or "unincorporated community" claim there supposedly is isn't legally recognized anymore, and even if it was, there is hardly anything there to really justify a "village" or "unincorporated community" claim.

- Delete This is another sad example of a rural railroad waypoint being falsely described as a "community" based only on GNIS and maybe a place-names guide. This map: [79] shows Wahlsten to be located on land owned by a C. Wahlstein, strongly suggesting this was a flag stop named for the local landowner (this was once a common practice on railroads). Flag stops are not inherently notable, and without other information we have no evidence this was a populated OR legally-recognized place. The 1951 Biwabik NE, MN USGS topo map shows a level crossing with 1 (one) building: [80], nothing even approaching a community. It's therefore a fail of WP:GEOLAND and without secondary coverage a fail of WP:GNG also. WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk) 01:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

- I am not sure if you have checked it completely. It is posted by an 'admin' and there are no sources/ references to what is written on that website apart from his son's autobiography, "
- Sources are allowed to be hagiographic. The point is that multiple sources are commenting on the subject. Jeraxmoira, meanwhile, is applying strictly western values to a Pakastani publishing company, which seems unhelpful. --

- Whilst working on the article I too found the source, but felt it didn't amount to significant coverage and was written in a hagiographic tone.

He (rah) was a follower of the path of the Salaf and was distinguished in knowledge and action” -

I prefer not to vote as I've been extensively involved in this article, butI'd like to raise some points for other editors to consider. Here is my source assessment.

✘ No |
| This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{ source assess table}}. | ||||
- The article mentions that the BDP is notable for its connection to the Khilafat Movement, but I couldn't find any information on the Khilafat Movement Wikipedia page or in the articles linked to it.
- Lead mentions that he is an Islamic scholar but a WP:BEFORE on Google Books, scholar, JSTOR and newspaper returns with 0 results almost and I am not able to find primary sources of his works as well.
At this point [82] (not the assessment table above), Sources 1,2 and 4 are the same. 3 is unreliable per WP:RAJ and has no sigcov. 5 Only mentions BDP's father. 6 passes if someone can verify it. 8 is about BDP's son and not BDP themselves. Jeraxmoira ( talk) 08:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- @
Jeraxmoira: while I agree with you on SIGCOV, I can't see how the book written in 1992 by
Sarah F. D. Ansari, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London could possibly be considered unreliable under
WP:RAJ.

- Comment: @ Fahads1982 and Faismeen: as members of Category:Translators ur-en with recent activity. Notability in this AfD may hinge on the first reference in the article, which is a book written in Urdu. Would you be able to check the references and establish whether there is WP:SIGCOV? Curb Safe Charmer ( talk) 11:43, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment The article does its subject no favours - it begins "Sayyid Ihsanullah Shah Rashdi was an 19th century Islamic scholar" but the next section says he was born in 1896. The quote in the "death" section is mangled to make no sense. What were his actual achievements, beyond running a (private?) library? The
Sarah Ansari book Sufi Saints and State Power: the Pirs of Sind, 1843-1947 (Cambridge, 1992) ought to be an excellent RS, bang on this very obscure area, but it is only used to ref the litigation with his brother. He has no article in any other language.
Khilafat Movement lists two other books, from BRILL and Columbia, that ought to be RS & very much on this topic. Does he appear in either?

- Comment: @
Mar4d: as a currently active editor who had added themselves to
Wikipedia:Translators_available#Urdu-to-English: Notability in this AfD may hinge on several Urdu references in the article. Would you be able to check them to establish whether there is
WP:SIGCOV?
Curb Safe Charmer (
talk) 09:55, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- Mar4d hasn't edited for 11 days, so I have gone ahead and accessed the first source (which most of the references rely on) through the Wikipedia Library, allowing me to download the 12 page PDF. I tried uploading it to Google Translate, which has a document translation facility, but this didn't work because the Urdu text is an image - it needs to be OCRed. I have been able to use Azure AI document intelligence to extract the Arabic script, and then used the translation facilities in Microsoft Word to translate the whole document. There are plenty mentions of the subject in the text - from what I can tell, most of the 12 pages of text is about him. Curb Safe Charmer ( talk) 21:22, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

- Comment: What may make a difference to the outcome of this discussion is the publication on Commons of two files, currently displayed in the article. I am unable to translate them at all. Thus I present them without further comment, save that the author of the article states that they are part of a tribute, read out in 1923, to the subject of the article. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:48, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: It looks like the discussion is ongoing regarding notability being established by Urdu-language references, so relisting to give more time to examine and discuss this as consensus as it stands is unclear.

- Comment. SaneFlint, a significant contributor to both the article and the discussion above, has now been blocked for sockpuppetry. — David Eppstein ( talk) 08:09, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: Per my previous comment and source assessment above. Events mentioned in the article are merely notable, there are no other sources to verify it and its vaguely supported by the major contributor's word/ translations. There are instances of them trying to add unsourced content and deliberately introducing factual errors on quoted statements (discussion is on their talk page). This situation discredits their translations, particularly because we lack other Sindhi language editors to verify the information at this point. Jeraxmoira ( talk) 06:23, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Current consensus is still unclear, but relisting to see if a consensus emerges. The sockpuppetry block of a major contributor to this AFD and the article itself may change the arguments presented.
