  • Delete, I can find no meaningful sources.

I was waiting for the work in progress tag to be removed. Now that it has, the first problem that I noticed is that there aren’t any references for the lead, hence the reason as to why this fails WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH. None of the rhetoric in the lead is cited with a single source. Secondly, this article also violates  Wikipedia:NOT#STATS. There is no encyclopedic value for this data. Merely existing does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Finally, this is already covered in the articles for individual artist list of awards. The existence of this page is misleading and serves no purpose. TruthGuardians ( talk) 21:43, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete "The exact number of all awards received by an artist is difficult to verify because there is no organization regularly tracking the data." Your article is bad when your lede serves quite perfectly as its own deletion rationale. Nate ( chatter) 23:07, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete not feasible to maintain when most (or all) of the claims are hard to confirm in the first place. This at best is a collection of WP:SYNTH and doesn't warrant an article. SNUGGUMS ( talk / edits) 01:16, 1 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Just another WP:INDISCRIMINATE list. The lists lead itself clearly indicates that. The exact number of all awards received by an artist is difficult to verify because there is no organization regularly tracking the data. Most media only report the most-awarded artists at individual award show, and a complete list of the most-awarded music artists remains unavailable. Nevertheless, the following list features music artists having won 10 times or more at five different award shows, thus giving an illustration of the “most-awarded music artists in history The articles of individual awards shows like Grammy, American Music Awards clearly mentioned who bagged most of their awards.— TheWikiholic ( talk) 04:27, 1 March 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment and delete With celebrity culture of all-about them, as far I remember, a handful of publications have elaborated lists regarding "most awarded" artists, or at least some have reported a "total" of award and nominations received by a specific artist. However, it feels like circular reporting. Bluesatellite gave a picture, but I also felt is not necessary. Aside that doesn't exist any tracking body, the concept of "award" is hard to determine: some people could mix solo/group careers of certain artists to present a "total", or imagine those awards gave to artist's team instead them, "certified awards" (VEVO, Guinness World Records), even listicles... and so on. -- Apoxyomenus ( talk) 01:03, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. This is a new article that can be improved with more sources. Articles such as "Taylor Swift makes history as most awarded artist of all time" in Entertainment Weekly show that the media are keeping track of this topic. The book series Guinness World Records has kept track of this issue, listing Whitney Houston for many years as the most awarded female musical artist. I think it would be appropriate to WP:TROUT the nomination as this appears to be a content dispute about Michael Jackson with discussion based at Talk:Michael_Jackson#“Most_awarded_musician_in_history”. The fact that Michael Jackson doesn't appear at the top of this page is irksome to MJ's fanbase, and instead of expanding the article to include more of MJ, they are trying to delete it. Binksternet ( talk) 03:20, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
    The above Entertainment Weekly show link that you provided was about Taylor Swift overtaking Michael Jackson as the most-winning American music awards artist. And it's already covered on the page of the American Music Awards. And Whintey Houston being the most-awarded female musical artist is yet to be verified and hence it has been removed from her pages as well. Reading the above talk page discussion gives the impression that the creator of this list has created it only to prove his arguments. TheWikiholic ( talk) 11:34, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • This article aims to cover the most accolades won by any musician ever across all ceremonies combined, and TheWikiholic is correct that Binksternet's link is only about the American Music Awards. It therefore shouldn't be treated as saying Taylor is the most cumulatively awarded for anywhere else. To give another example, Beyoncé setting a separate record for most Grammys received doesn't make her the most worldwide awarded artist either when factoring in all award ceremonies, just from that organization. Unless somebody can provide a ref establishing how an artist got more wins across every award ceremony there is along with some runner-ups (which I doubt exists), the list here isn't sustainable. I either way would like to make it clear that my vote isn't based on trying to designate anybody in particular as the most awarded musician. Guinness unfortunately could be outdated for Whitney. SNUGGUMS ( talk / edits) 12:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
Not sure if Guinness World Records is necessarily a reliable source. LegalSmeagolian ( talk) 14:08, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
It most certainly is reliable, but its statistics often become obsolete with new records being made for things. SNUGGUMS ( talk / edits) 18:01, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
I'm sticking with my Keep vote because of various indications of media interest in who is the most-awarded across multiple awards. For instance, The Hollywood Reporter made a list in January 2018 of the top 25 musical artists based on Grammy awards, digital streaming, and retail sales figures. They talk about how Bruno Mars won multiple Grammys and AMAs to get listed at number 5. Other media observers relayed similar lists to their readers, including this 2018 list from Jacaranda FM which names Michael Jackson as the top. Another list came from this K-pop fan magazine talking about how a Korean group is listed alongside more famous Western acts. Loretta Lynn is named the most-awarded female country music artist by this piece in Billboard. The media are interested in this topic. Binksternet ( talk) 18:42, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Pile-on delete The most ridiculous thing about this is that the various artists and their awards cannot be directly compared to each other. Three of these artists have many Latin music awards, but the rest don't sing Latin music, so so what? Some have country, pop, or international awards that not everyone is competing in so there's no legitimate comparison to be made. Celine Dion apparently has 11 Best of Las Vegas Awards, but the linked article doesn't even mention these. Junk list altogether, and if the media above aren't using direct comparisons of awards everyone competed for (like within a single genre), they're junk too. Reywas92 Talk 19:57, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment That newspaper award should just be discounted entirely; those are always encouraged by the newspapers and businesses to have ballot stuffing. It's just a plaque hanging somewhere in the lobby, nothing Celine likely has ever touched herself. Nate ( chatter) 15:39, 6 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Non-notable aircraft accident. This is a 1951 crash of a DC-3 that was on a training flight, because the pilot stalled the aircraft and spun it into the ground, with all three people on board killed. It is not often that the actual text of the article makes the case that the article is non-notable, but this one actually does, stating It is not uncommon for this type of accident to occur during training flights as pilots may be experimenting with different maneuvers or training exercises. Indeed the text is correct: this sort of accident is very common and WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. Thousands of DC-3s and C-47s have crashed and most of these accidents are not notable. Being 72 years ago, we now know that there were no WP:LASTING effects from this accident noted, no airworthiness directives, no changes in flying or ATC procedures, etc. This article is just a simple newspaper story and contravenes our Wikipedia policy WP:NOTNEWS, which says Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. Ahunt ( talk) 20:47, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a composer, not properly sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. There are things stated here that would be acceptable notability claims if they were referenced properly, but the article is entirely unsourced, and there's nothing stated here that would constitute an "inherent" notability freebie in the absence of any WP:GNG-worthy sourcing. And the article has existed since 2006 without ever having any proper sources added to it except for inappropriate offsite links to the self-published websites of organizations named in the body text, which had to be stripped as WP:ELNO violations — so it's time to source it properly or lose it.
There's also a past prod in the edit history, which got the article deleted and then subsequently restored on an undeletion request by somebody with a username highly suggestive of being the article subject, which in turn raises conflict of interest issues. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which people are entitled to have articles just because they exist; notability has to be demonstrated by third-party reliable source coverage analyzing the significance of their work, not just by verifying that their work exists. (For example, competitions only become notability claims to the extent that they can be referenced to media coverage in order to establish that the competition is seen as a significant one by the media, and do not become notability claims if they're primary sourced to the competition's own self-published content about itself.)

The NatWest Series was just a sponsor name for the One Day International matches played in England. Unlike what the article is trying to say, there was no links between the different year's matches, and so we don't need an article listing all the matches in series under the same sponsor name.

2600 words on entirely in-universe information, with no assertion the subject meets the GNG (and not a single reference, to boot.) Coverage of the character is glancing and incidental on a look for sources, with the best stuff I could find being side relevance to recaps and the like, or single mentions of the characters loud fashion choices, which does not a standalone article make. There's already a List of Quantum Leap characters article where a short summary would satisfy the relevance of this character. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 16:03, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, this character is central to the television series and one of two from it to have a well-deserved stand-alone article. I would think the actor's obit, at a minimum, would mention this iconic role. His television legacy now extends to the current series. As a side-note, Ziggy predates the popularity of the internet and Wikipedia itself which it foreshadows. Randy Kryn ( talk) 16:47, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    • The actor's obituary mention it, but nothing substantial to meet WP:GNG. They're arguments for the notability of the actor, not the role. As for predating the popularity of the internet, that doesn't really factor in here: I looked on Ebsco and ProQuest and the coverage of the character is incidental in contemporary reviews of the show, as well.

Birth of public radio broadcasting

Birth of public radio broadcasting (  | 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 article is a mess, and a Doug Coldwell creation. The whole premise is that Lee de Forest supposedly did the world's first public radio broadcast. As it turns out, this claim is not supported by the sources. The source for "this event is regarded as the birth of public radio broadcasting" actually says "In 1910, he attempted the first live broadcast from New York's Metropolitan Opera House (starring Enrico Caruso)." In other words, he took a source that doesn't support this claim at all and spun it into an OR creation. The line "The birth of public radio broadcasting had an immediate impact on radio broadcasting as it stimulated the idea of having additional musical programs." is entirely original research.

This one broadcast isn't individually notable, and this article never should have been created. This particular event is sufficiently covered at Lee de Forest#Initial broadcasting experiments, which also shows that this wasn't even the first broadcast by de Forest, identifying a 1909 broadcast of a suffragette speech by de Forest's mother-in-law! That this was even created, let alone passed GAN makes a mockery of the entire process. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 15:37, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. How terribly sad to see all this. The article's premise is simply mistaken and the claims are based on nothing. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 15:51, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. I do think a wider article on the early history of public radio broadcasting could potentially be notable (even if this particular event may not warrant its own article). However, this article would have to be completely rewritten, as it is extremely misleading. As the nominator says, this article itself contradicts Lee de Forest#Initial broadcasting experiments, and there are significant issues with source-text integrity. – Epicgenius ( talk) 16:09, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    I concur that the ostensible subject of the article (early history of public radio broadcasting) could be an encyclopedic topic. Sadly that is not what we have here. If we did, I would have stubbified and moved on (to PDEL copyvio) instead of using AfD. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 16:12, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    That makes sense. – Epicgenius ( talk) 01:51, 1 March 2023 (UTC) reply
    I should also note that I agree with Sammi Brie's comment below; this isn't even about public radio broadcasts. So the entirety of the article is based on two falsehoods. This already was not the first radio broadcast that the public heard, but even if it were, this was also not the first broadcast of public radio. Given that it wasn't the first radio broadcast heard by the public, nor was it the first public-radio broadcast, I do not believe it meets the GNG. I also doubt its long-term significance, since if something already happened once, the next occurrence of that thing isn't typically as important. – Epicgenius ( talk) 13:57, 1 March 2023 (UTC) reply

An article about this specific event, presuming that it deserves one, should be named for the event: Lee de Forest radio broadcast of January 1910, for example.

  • Delete per TAOT. I saw this AfD because I watchlisted the original GA review page back when it was nominated (before that page existed), and saw Sandy add a template to it. I don't do much GA reviewing, but take a look at the list of noms once in a while in case something jumps out. Around that time I came across a few nominations by prolific GA writers that seemed to have really fundamental problems (inappropriate scope/title, reliance on in-universe sourcing, notability concerns, etc.). I didn't dig into the sources of this one, but even still it seemed more like a small part of another article, spun out and given an inappropriate title/framing, rather than an independently notable event. I remember thinking "how is a reviewer going to even approach this?" To my surprise, it pretty much sailed through the review process (as did the others FWIW, mostly not articles by DC IIRC). Looking forward to seeing how the ongoing GA RfC will pan out, and how it will find a balance between minimum standards and not becoming a huge task for a reviewer. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:18, 1 March 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep There is no such thing as partial notability. With a biography, it is either established by significant coverage, per WP:GNG, or it isn't, and in this case the two books relied on clearly take Cholmondeley over that hurdle, the whole of him.

Moonraker ( talk) 20:48, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
I don't see that his role in Mincemeat was "a large one". The page is simply a brief description of his role in Mincemeat, with more detail about the Twenty Committee and Montagu than him.

Not sure why it's necessary for basic biographical details to be available for someone to be notable for Wikipedia. We can take from his Times obituary that he didn't seek publicity and probably didn't divulge these details. However, there are online sources that do reveal that he was born in South Australia on 27 January 1917 and was buried in St. David's Churchyard, Barton St David, Somerset and also what he did after the war.

    • It proves that he died and that Britain's premier national newspaper of record thought he was important enough to publish an obituary written by one of his colleagues. A rather different thing. Most people die without a summary of their life and achievements appearing in The Times.

      Sure, but it's also quite possible the obituary was run on the strength of who wrote it, and not the notability of the subject.

@ TimothyBlue: given that the primary concern is WP:BIO1E, it would be helpful if you gave a brief rundown of how extensive and far-reaching the coverage in Macintyre and Smyth is beyond MINCEMEAT. Simply asserting significant coverage in this context is not very helpful, especially since both Macintyre and Smyth appear (based on the titles) to very much be about the operation.

Firstly hopelessly out of date as it seems to assume that oil will peak due to lack of supply rather than demand.

Secondly the topic is covered much better in Fossil fuel phase-out.

By the way my earlier proposal to merge with peak oil was rejected. Chidgk1 ( talk) 14:37, 13 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete This is already covered in peak oil, and the topic is too closely related to peak oil to have its own article. Essentially, a discussion of peak oil is practically a discussion of the prediction of peak oil. There may be some salvageable information (especially historical context) that can be integrated into peak oil. -- Ita140188 ( talk) 17:33, 13 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    Good point about salvageable info - you and @ EMsmile have now convinced me I favour Redirect to peak oil so that future editors can use "View history" to easily retrieve anything they would like to move to that article Chidgk1 ( talk) 06:33, 20 February 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. This is already covered in peak oil, but in standard summary style, just as long articles must be. Naturally, there are many <main article> summary sections on that peak oil page. This is a long topic, rightly broken down to a summary article and component articles on subtopics. Peak_oil#Predictions is a fairly vanilla use of the <main article> style of article organization (something that's apparently used in 1% of all articles). This historical background is worthy of inclusion in the encyclopedia, but would give undue weight and length to the parent article if embedded there. (Presumably, this is why this page was given its own article, and why similar pages on complex subjects are broken out from their main topic, and was only reason that the earlier merger proposal was rejected.) So, I prefer the style as it is, but that's maybe just my personal preference. I want to address the three specific reasons given in the deletion proposal above. The first reason given for deletion is that: the article is "outdated"... but that's entirely to be expected of a retrospective of predictions. (Note that the lengthy Geocentric model article also uses the summary & <main article> organization.) The second reason given (in the AfD proposal) is that: "the topic is covered much better" in another article... Yet that other article actually contains almost none of the same content (on historic predictions) and really has a different focus (though not a different POV--it's not even a wp:povfork). The third proposal sentence is the killer, since it points out that an earlier merger proposal was rejected, which clarifies the intention: to excise this material from the encyclopedia. The effect of deletion would be: to remove interesting background content from Wikipedia, information that is not given on the main page or in Fossil fuel phase-out or on any other article (that I can find). If there were such parallel/fork articles, or if the merger request hadn't already been rejected, then moving this content would be a worthwhile discussion. But instead, this AfD proposal is simply a proposal to delete the detailed history of peak oil predictions. I.e. it's a proposal to erase notable and relevant background to the main article (which aleady includes this important sub-topic in summary form). We should keep this content. Outright notable content removal isn't a standard use of AfD. I don't see how deleting this article would satisfy any of the AfD criteria, but even if I've missed something in that list (that might by used to justify this deletion) the two reasons given in the proposal don't conform to any of the 14 reasons listed be the AfD policy (as well as being unclear reasons for deletion in themselves). -- Wragge ( talk) 04:51, 14 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    Reason 14 which covers anything else - because “A Wikipedia article should not be a complete exposition of all possible details, but a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject” As you rightly say the article is a detailed history of peak oil predictions. In fact it is so detailed and out of date that I contend that a reader would not be able to see the wood for the trees and would misunderstand the subject as we understand it today. I am not an academic but as I understand it nowadays (since the invasion of Ukraine) the peak year is most likely between 2022 and 2025 and depends on energy security and Russian drills falling apart, price caps, IRA and carbon taxes etc - this can perfectly well be summarized in a few paragraphs in the peak oil article. But I suspect editors are reluctant to update anything to do with peak oil because they fear getting tangled up in many pages of historical details. Chidgk1 ( talk) 12:46, 14 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    I should also have mentioned Phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles as another article which seems far more useful to the reader and which could be used to hold any bits of info which are actually summary style Chidgk1 ( talk) 13:14, 14 February 2023 (UTC) reply
I think I would support Chidgk1's proposal although a whole sale deletion sounds a bit harsh. I would assume some content could be salvaged in a kind of "history" section as part of peak oil. Actually this coincides with the proposal by Ita140188, so I agree with them. An alternative might be to give the article a name change to History of peak oil predictions. - Can we please have the link to the earlier discussion of merging it into peak oil?

We agree that there's a problem, but might differ on exactly what it is. For me, the key problem isn't the overabundance of historical predictions, but is the lack of detail on the most material point that the average reader would probably want to know: what is the best & latest estimate for the peak oil year? I think has Chidgk1 has put their finger on this point (in the comment above). The strange thing about all three of these articles is that (despite being very long) none lead with this date. This absence might be explained by an overinterpretation of WP:CRYSTAL, but whatever is the cause, the gap is glaring. (How can we have an article or a section on "predicting peak oil" without daring to give the consensus prediction?) And closing this gap can't be achieved by deleting material; it should be solved in the normal way: by boldly editing these articles to foreground the best estimates from the literature. (Ideally, this expected date would be in the first sentence of Peak_oil#Predictions and would be covered in more detail at the start of this <main> article.) In the current state, the most daring answer given to the main practical question is in the Peak Oil lede: "as of 2021, forecasts of the year of peak oil range from 2019 to 2040"... If that's really the best we can do, then it's not an argument for deleting (most) of the content in this article (maybe it's an argument against the deletion, since we need more detail on the reasons for uncertainty). Alternatively, if we can be more specific then a bold edit should solve it. -- Wragge ( talk) 02:22, 15 February 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Wragge If you or anyone else would like to spend the time and effort to bring the article up to scratch good luck with it - but I doubt there is enough good info to justify both this article and peak oil.

  • Keep The meat of this article is the detailed history of past and present prediction methods. Good encyclopedic material, and demonstrably quite extensive. I don't see why this should not be spun out into a separate article that is suitably linked and summarized in the main article.

Albanian Resistance in Yugoslavia

The bulk of the article actually discusses topics which already have articles of their own ( Albanian–Yugoslav conflict, 1981 protests in Kosovo, Adem Jashari, Insurgency in Kosovo (1995–1998), and Kosovo War). Leaving all of that out, we are left with a text about a supposed plan by the Communist-era leader of Albania Enver Hoxha to invade Yugoslavia after Josip Broz Tito's death which never materialized; content that can easily be merged into the Hoxha article or another.

The bigger problem is that the article links up various events in Kosovo post-Cold war era and declares that they were all part of one conflict that lasted from 1948-1999 with the direct involvement of Albania. It's a WP:SYNTH of sources and likely WP:OR on the part of the creator. This is not how bibliography or sources generally treat the subject. The level of involvement on the part of the government of Albania in the push for Kosovo independence or unification with Albania is also disputed. Even one of the sources cited, Julie Mertus' Kosovo: How Myths and Truths Started a War, says that "If Albania was, as some Serbs suggest, helping Kosovo Albanians in 1981, that move would have been against Albanian policy. Albanian had indeed beamed its television and radio programs and sent books over the border to Kosovo, but it did little more to encourage Kosovo Albanians to "unite with the motherland".. never wanting to create tensions with Yugoslavia, Albania had even returned members of illegal Kosovar groups who had sought shelter within its borders." Albanian influence in these various matters is something that could be mentioned but doubtful as an umbrella article of its own. Griboski ( talk) 22:50, 20 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Enver Hoxha had many conflicts with Yugoslavia or with Tito, about whom you also said that Enver Hoxha didn't want anything to go into any conflict with Yugoslavia, then tell me why Enver Hoxha had many plans with Mehmet Shehu to found Kosovar Albanian rebels, about whom Enver Hoxha also knew that there were many Albanians in Kosovo who made attacks on the Yugoslavs and Enver Hoxha withdrew and did not support Tito. NormalguyfromUK ( talk) 15:02, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Then to the protests in 1981 many Kosovo Albanian rebels like Nuhi Berisha and Rexhep Mala made attacks on Yugoslav policemen. Enver Hoxha supported their party and the Kosovars a lot during the crisis in Yugoslavia. Also because of this, Enver Hoxha made a plan to attack Yugoslavia during the 70 years in order to retake Kosovo. NormalguyfromUK ( talk) 15:06, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply
Please read more carefully. The issue is whether this topic deserves a stand-alone article. The article is mostly a rehashing of already existing articles.

I understand, however, there is no reason to delete the article. Maybe if we want, we could add tags to this article with More sources to improve, but I don't understand this as deletion. Resistance also existed and ended like that when the Kosovo war ended. You yourself agreed with me, Yes, many of the articles were also taken from the Wiki article, but this is part of the Resistance, I will add the main articles again. Even if it could be improved, deleting the article makes no sense to me! There were also several protests by Kosovar Albanians in Yugoslavia, which I would like to add to the Resistance. NormalguyfromUK ( talk) 19:34, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply
The situation is not a linear conflict that lasted from 1948-1999. You're also conflating two different things. On the one hand, you're talking about Kosovar Albanian resistance to the incorporation of Kosovo into Yugoslavia (which pre-dates 1948 btw) and on the other hand, the Government of Albania/Hoxha's covert attempts to secede Kosovo from Yugoslavia and unite it into Albania. IF the article is salvaged, it has to focus on a single topic. It's also much more complicated than "resistance", which implies there was an armed resistance throughout this period when in fact much of the Cold War period in Kosovo was marked by relative stability. The protests themselves were for different reasons with some merely seeking more rights. When creating an article, you have to make sure that it's a notable topic that's covered in reliable sources, is not original research, synthesis of sources or a WP:CONTENTFORK -- Griboski ( talk) 20:21, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • This certainly seems to be a lot of improper synthesis. The 1981 stuff and beyond is especially jarring, because when I was reading sources about those protests, and a lot of them were Serbian, there was barely any mention of this kind of meddling by Albania. I remember recently reverting an edit like this at the protests article as well, I guess it spilled over... certainly I don't think it's appropriate that we talk in an encyclopedia about "plans" to attack Yugoslavia in the 80s in a B92 article that relays a Jutarnji list article. This is far enough in the past that we can require serious scholarly, historical sources, as opposed to this. The mention of Hoxha's November '82 speech is also weird, because the suppression of the protests started in April '81, and we have post mortem coverage from July '81. This needs to go. Albania–Yugoslavia relations can be as good as place as any to salvage the few paragraphs that make sense. -- Joy ( talk) 11:45, 22 February 2023 (UTC) reply

This "organization" is an individual whom is spreading misinformation about what a trans person is and encouraging cult-like and harmful practices. This individuals blog is full of racist comments and they believe a transgender person and a cross-dresser are one and the same a harmful view to be promoting. The "Pledge of Membership/Code of Conduct" on their website includes "When in public, a members presentation will be either 100% feminine or 100% masculine, no mixing of the two. This also would include the presence of facial hair when enfemme." meaning they are not willing to recognize nonbinary people http://www.triessmn.com/membership-pledge-code-of-conduct.html . The individual is a heterosexual male whos only part in the LGBT community is crossdressing. Their website is also not up to the standard of a real organization and sites no sources for the misinformation it provides on any of its 6 pages. It is also copywrite 2013. On the page "terminology" they wrongfully state : "The term "transgender" has become an umbrella term encompassing a wide variety of those who consider themselves to be one of the "gender variant". The term transgenderist was first coined by Virginia Prince, one of the co-founders of TriEss to differentiate somebody who wished to live their lives as the opposite gender, but has no desire to physically change their bodies. It recognizes that "sex is between your legs, gender is between your ears".

Comment: I'm not sure what the deletion rationale actually is here. The fact that the subject spreads misinformation, or says racist or transphobic things, is not a reason for deletion; Wikipedia writes articles on notable people and organisations regardless of whether or not we agree with their views. The sourcing on the article looks dubious at first glance, but nobody actually seems to be arguing that the subject is not notable. Caeciliusinhorto-public ( talk) 09:06, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply

I was waiting for the work in progress tag to be removed. Now that it has, the first problem that I noticed is that there aren’t any references for the lead, hence the reason as to why this fails WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH. None of the rhetoric in the lead is cited with a single source. Secondly, this article also violates  Wikipedia:NOT#STATS. There is no encyclopedic value for this data. Merely existing does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Finally, this is already covered in the articles for individual artist list of awards. The existence of this page is misleading and serves no purpose. TruthGuardians ( talk) 21:43, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete "The exact number of all awards received by an artist is difficult to verify because there is no organization regularly tracking the data." Your article is bad when your lede serves quite perfectly as its own deletion rationale. Nate ( chatter) 23:07, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Just another WP:INDISCRIMINATE list. The lists lead itself clearly indicates that. The exact number of all awards received by an artist is difficult to verify because there is no organization regularly tracking the data. Most media only report the most-awarded artists at individual award show, and a complete list of the most-awarded music artists remains unavailable. Nevertheless, the following list features music artists having won 10 times or more at five different award shows, thus giving an illustration of the “most-awarded music artists in history The articles of individual awards shows like Grammy, American Music Awards clearly mentioned who bagged most of their awards.— TheWikiholic ( talk) 04:27, 1 March 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment and delete With celebrity culture of all-about them, as far I remember, a handful of publications have elaborated lists regarding "most awarded" artists, or at least some have reported a "total" of award and nominations received by a specific artist. However, it feels like circular reporting. Bluesatellite gave a picture, but I also felt is not necessary. Aside that doesn't exist any tracking body, the concept of "award" is hard to determine: some people could mix solo/group careers of certain artists to present a "total", or imagine those awards gave to artist's team instead them, "certified awards" (VEVO, Guinness World Records), even listicles... and so on. -- Apoxyomenus ( talk) 01:03, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. This is a new article that can be improved with more sources. Articles such as "Taylor Swift makes history as most awarded artist of all time" in Entertainment Weekly show that the media are keeping track of this topic. The book series Guinness World Records has kept track of this issue, listing Whitney Houston for many years as the most awarded female musical artist. I think it would be appropriate to WP:TROUT the nomination as this appears to be a content dispute about Michael Jackson with discussion based at Talk:Michael_Jackson#“Most_awarded_musician_in_history”. The fact that Michael Jackson doesn't appear at the top of this page is irksome to MJ's fanbase, and instead of expanding the article to include more of MJ, they are trying to delete it. Binksternet ( talk) 03:20, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
    The above Entertainment Weekly show link that you provided was about Taylor Swift overtaking Michael Jackson as the most-winning American music awards artist. And it's already covered on the page of the American Music Awards. And Whintey Houston being the most-awarded female musical artist is yet to be verified and hence it has been removed from her pages as well. Reading the above talk page discussion gives the impression that the creator of this list has created it only to prove his arguments. TheWikiholic ( talk) 11:34, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • This article aims to cover the most accolades won by any musician ever across all ceremonies combined, and TheWikiholic is correct that Binksternet's link is only about the American Music Awards. It therefore shouldn't be treated as saying Taylor is the most cumulatively awarded for anywhere else. To give another example, Beyoncé setting a separate record for most Grammys received doesn't make her the most worldwide awarded artist either when factoring in all award ceremonies, just from that organization. Unless somebody can provide a ref establishing how an artist got more wins across every award ceremony there is along with some runner-ups (which I doubt exists), the list here isn't sustainable. I either way would like to make it clear that my vote isn't based on trying to designate anybody in particular as the most awarded musician. Guinness unfortunately could be outdated for Whitney.

It most certainly is reliable, but its statistics often become obsolete with new records being made for things. SNUGGUMS ( talk / edits) 18:01, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
I'm sticking with my Keep vote because of various indications of media interest in who is the most-awarded across multiple awards. For instance, The Hollywood Reporter made a list in January 2018 of the top 25 musical artists based on Grammy awards, digital streaming, and retail sales figures. They talk about how Bruno Mars won multiple Grammys and AMAs to get listed at number 5. Other media observers relayed similar lists to their readers, including this 2018 list from Jacaranda FM which names Michael Jackson as the top. Another list came from this K-pop fan magazine talking about how a Korean group is listed alongside more famous Western acts. Loretta Lynn is named the most-awarded female country music artist by this piece in Billboard. The media are interested in this topic. Binksternet ( talk) 18:42, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Pile-on delete The most ridiculous thing about this is that the various artists and their awards cannot be directly compared to each other. Three of these artists have many Latin music awards, but the rest don't sing Latin music, so so what? Some have country, pop, or international awards that not everyone is competing in so there's no legitimate comparison to be made. Celine Dion apparently has 11 Best of Las Vegas Awards, but the linked article doesn't even mention these. Junk list altogether, and if the media above aren't using direct comparisons of awards everyone competed for (like within a single genre), they're junk too. Reywas92 Talk 19:57, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Non-notable aircraft accident. This is a 1951 crash of a DC-3 that was on a training flight, because the pilot stalled the aircraft and spun it into the ground, with all three people on board killed. It is not often that the actual text of the article makes the case that the article is non-notable, but this one actually does, stating It is not uncommon for this type of accident to occur during training flights as pilots may be experimenting with different maneuvers or training exercises. Indeed the text is correct: this sort of accident is very common and WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. Thousands of DC-3s and C-47s have crashed and most of these accidents are not notable. Being 72 years ago, we now know that there were no WP:LASTING effects from this accident noted, no airworthiness directives, no changes in flying or ATC procedures, etc. This article is just a simple newspaper story and contravenes our Wikipedia policy WP:NOTNEWS, which says Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events.

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a composer, not properly sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. There are things stated here that would be acceptable notability claims if they were referenced properly, but the article is entirely unsourced, and there's nothing stated here that would constitute an "inherent" notability freebie in the absence of any WP:GNG-worthy sourcing. And the article has existed since 2006 without ever having any proper sources added to it except for inappropriate offsite links to the self-published websites of organizations named in the body text, which had to be stripped as WP:ELNO violations — so it's time to source it properly or lose it.
There's also a past prod in the edit history, which got the article deleted and then subsequently restored on an undeletion request by somebody with a username highly suggestive of being the article subject, which in turn raises conflict of interest issues. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which people are entitled to have articles just because they exist; notability has to be demonstrated by third-party reliable source coverage analyzing the significance of their work, not just by verifying that their work exists. (For example, competitions only become notability claims to the extent that they can be referenced to media coverage in order to establish that the competition is seen as a significant one by the media, and do not become notability claims if they're primary sourced to the competition's own self-published content about itself.)

The NatWest Series was just a sponsor name for the One Day International matches played in England. Unlike what the article is trying to say, there was no links between the different year's matches, and so we don't need an article listing all the matches in series under the same sponsor name. This is a case of sponsorship rather than it being a genuine recurring event like the Cricket World Cup or The Ashes. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 09:14, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply

2600 words on entirely in-universe information, with no assertion the subject meets the GNG (and not a single reference, to boot.) Coverage of the character is glancing and incidental on a look for sources, with the best stuff I could find being side relevance to recaps and the like, or single mentions of the characters loud fashion choices, which does not a standalone article make.

Birth of public radio broadcasting

Birth of public radio broadcasting (  | 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 article is a mess, and a Doug Coldwell creation. The whole premise is that Lee de Forest supposedly did the world's first public radio broadcast. As it turns out, this claim is not supported by the sources. The source for "this event is regarded as the birth of public radio broadcasting" actually says "In 1910, he attempted the first live broadcast from New York's Metropolitan Opera House (starring Enrico Caruso)." In other words, he took a source that doesn't support this claim at all and spun it into an OR creation. The line "The birth of public radio broadcasting had an immediate impact on radio broadcasting as it stimulated the idea of having additional musical programs." is entirely original research.

This one broadcast isn't individually notable, and this article never should have been created. This particular event is sufficiently covered at Lee de Forest#Initial broadcasting experiments, which also shows that this wasn't even the first broadcast by de Forest, identifying a 1909 broadcast of a suffragette speech by de Forest's mother-in-law! That this was even created, let alone passed GAN makes a mockery of the entire process. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 15:37, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. I do think a wider article on the early history of public radio broadcasting could potentially be notable (even if this particular event may not warrant its own article). However, this article would have to be completely rewritten, as it is extremely misleading. As the nominator says, this article itself contradicts Lee de Forest#Initial broadcasting experiments, and there are significant issues with source-text integrity. – Epicgenius ( talk) 16:09, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    I concur that the ostensible subject of the article (early history of public radio broadcasting) could be an encyclopedic topic. Sadly that is not what we have here.

    I should also note that I agree with Sammi Brie's comment below; this isn't even about public radio broadcasts. So the entirety of the article is based on two falsehoods. This already was not the first radio broadcast that the public heard, but even if it were, this was also not the first broadcast of public radio. Given that it wasn't the first radio broadcast heard by the public, nor was it the first public-radio broadcast, I do not believe it meets the GNG. I also doubt its long-term significance, since if something already happened once, the next occurrence of that thing isn't typically as important. – Epicgenius ( talk) 13:57, 1 March 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per TAOT. I saw this AfD because I watchlisted the original GA review page back when it was nominated (before that page existed), and saw Sandy add a template to it. I don't do much GA reviewing, but take a look at the list of noms once in a while in case something jumps out. Around that time I came across a few nominations by prolific GA writers that seemed to have really fundamental problems (inappropriate scope/title, reliance on in-universe sourcing, notability concerns, etc.). I didn't dig into the sources of this one, but even still it seemed more like a small part of another article, spun out and given an inappropriate title/framing, rather than an independently notable event. I remember thinking "how is a reviewer going to even approach this?" To my surprise, it pretty much sailed through the review process (as did the others FWIW, mostly not articles by DC IIRC). Looking forward to seeing how the ongoing GA RfC will pan out, and how it will find a balance between minimum standards and not becoming a huge task for a reviewer. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:18, 1 March 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep There is no such thing as partial notability. With a biography, it is either established by significant coverage, per WP:GNG, or it isn't, and in this case the two books relied on clearly take Cholmondeley over that hurdle, the whole of him. On WP:1E, that says "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." Moonraker ( talk) 20:48, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
I don't see that his role in Mincemeat was "a large one". The page is simply a brief description of his role in Mincemeat, with more detail about the Twenty Committee and Montagu than him. There is a complete lack of basic biographical detail about Cholmondeley and none of the sources I have seen amount to SIGCOV of him satisfying GNG. Mztourist ( talk) 04:04, 1 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Not sure why it's necessary for basic biographical details to be available for someone to be notable for Wikipedia. We can take from his Times obituary that he didn't seek publicity and probably didn't divulge these details. However, there are online sources that do reveal that he was born in South Australia on 27 January 1917 and was buried in St. David's Churchyard, Barton St David, Somerset and also what he did after the war.

As for the obituary, I don't think we get to split hairs about content here: if someone has an obituary published in a national newspaper, that's evidence that they were considered notable. The content of the obituary is a nice extra, but there's no way to discount its existence as evidence of notability. UndercoverClassicist ( talk) 13:53, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
No, there are "real" obituaries written by the paper's obituary writers and others written by family or friends, the former go to notability, the latter don't. Montagu's "obituary" clearly is the latter. Mztourist ( talk) 16:39, 2 March 2023 (UTC) reply
A good quotation here from this book, p.370:

    • It proves that he died and that Britain's premier national newspaper of record thought he was important enough to publish an obituary written by one of his colleagues. A rather different thing. Most people die without a summary of their life and achievements appearing in The Times.

      Sure, but it's also quite possible the obituary was run on the strength of who wrote it, and not the notability of the subject.

@ TimothyBlue: given that the primary concern is WP:BIO1E, it would be helpful if you gave a brief rundown of how extensive and far-reaching the coverage in Macintyre and Smyth is beyond MINCEMEAT. Simply asserting significant coverage in this context is not very helpful, especially since both Macintyre and Smyth appear (based on the titles) to very much be about the operation.

Firstly hopelessly out of date as it seems to assume that oil will peak due to lack of supply rather than demand.

Secondly the topic is covered much better in Fossil fuel phase-out.

By the way my earlier proposal to merge with peak oil was rejected. Chidgk1 ( talk) 14:37, 13 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete This is already covered in peak oil, and the topic is too closely related to peak oil to have its own article. Essentially, a discussion of peak oil is practically a discussion of the prediction of peak oil. There may be some salvageable information (especially historical context) that can be integrated into peak oil. -- Ita140188 ( talk) 17:33, 13 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    Good point about salvageable info - you and @ EMsmile have now convinced me I favour Redirect to peak oil so that future editors can use "View history" to easily retrieve anything they would like to move to that article Chidgk1 ( talk) 06:33, 20 February 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. This is already covered in peak oil, but in standard summary style, just as long articles must be. Naturally, there are many <main article> summary sections on that peak oil page. This is a long topic, rightly broken down to a summary article and component articles on subtopics. Peak_oil#Predictions is a fairly vanilla use of the <main article> style of article organization (something that's apparently used in 1% of all articles). This historical background is worthy of inclusion in the encyclopedia, but would give undue weight and length to the parent article if embedded there. (Presumably, this is why this page was given its own article, and why similar pages on complex subjects are broken out from their main topic, and was only reason that the earlier merger proposal was rejected.) So, I prefer the style as it is, but that's maybe just my personal preference. I want to address the three specific reasons given in the deletion proposal above. The first reason given for deletion is that: the article is "outdated"... but that's entirely to be expected of a retrospective of predictions. (Note that the lengthy Geocentric model article also uses the summary & <main article> organization.) The second reason given (in the AfD proposal) is that: "the topic is covered much better" in another article... Yet that other article actually contains almost none of the same content (on historic predictions) and really has a different focus (though not a different POV--it's not even a wp:povfork). The third proposal sentence is the killer, since it points out that an earlier merger proposal was rejected, which clarifies the intention: to excise this material from the encyclopedia. The effect of deletion would be: to remove interesting background content from Wikipedia, information that is not given on the main page or in Fossil fuel phase-out or on any other article (that I can find). If there were such parallel/fork articles, or if the merger request hadn't already been rejected, then moving this content would be a worthwhile discussion. But instead, this AfD proposal is simply a proposal to delete the detailed history of peak oil predictions. I.e. it's a proposal to erase notable and relevant background to the main article (which aleady includes this important sub-topic in summary form). We should keep this content. Outright notable content removal isn't a standard use of AfD. I don't see how deleting this article would satisfy any of the AfD criteria, but even if I've missed something in that list (that might by used to justify this deletion) the two reasons given in the proposal don't conform to any of the 14 reasons listed be the AfD policy (as well as being unclear reasons for deletion in themselves). -- Wragge ( talk) 04:51, 14 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    Reason 14 which covers anything else - because “A Wikipedia article should not be a complete exposition of all possible details, but a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject” As you rightly say the article is a detailed history of peak oil predictions. In fact it is so detailed and out of date that I contend that a reader would not be able to see the wood for the trees and would misunderstand the subject as we understand it today. I am not an academic but as I understand it nowadays (since the invasion of Ukraine) the peak year is most likely between 2022 and 2025 and depends on energy security and Russian drills falling apart, price caps, IRA and carbon taxes etc - this can perfectly well be summarized in a few paragraphs in the peak oil article. But I suspect editors are reluctant to update anything to do with peak oil because they fear getting tangled up in many pages of historical details. Chidgk1 ( talk) 12:46, 14 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    I should also have mentioned Phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles as another article which seems far more useful to the reader and which could be used to hold any bits of info which are actually summary style Chidgk1 ( talk) 13:14, 14 February 2023 (UTC) reply
I think I would support Chidgk1's proposal although a whole sale deletion sounds a bit harsh. I would assume some content could be salvaged in a kind of "history" section as part of peak oil. Actually this coincides with the proposal by Ita140188, so I agree with them. An alternative might be to give the article a name change to History of peak oil predictions. - Can we please have the link to the earlier discussion of merging it into peak oil? Oh wait, I found it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk:Peak_oil&oldid=1136640945#Merger_proposal EMsmile ( talk) 15:44, 14 February 2023 (UTC) reply
We agree that there's a problem, but might differ on exactly what it is. For me, the key problem isn't the overabundance of historical predictions, but is the lack of detail on the most material point that the average reader would probably want to know: what is the best & latest estimate for the peak oil year? I think has Chidgk1 has put their finger on this point (in the comment above). The strange thing about all three of these articles is that (despite being very long) none lead with this date. This absence might be explained by an overinterpretation of WP:CRYSTAL, but whatever is the cause, the gap is glaring. (How can we have an article or a section on "predicting peak oil" without daring to give the consensus prediction?) And closing this gap can't be achieved by deleting material; it should be solved in the normal way: by boldly editing these articles to foreground the best estimates from the literature. (Ideally, this expected date would be in the first sentence of Peak_oil#Predictions and would be covered in more detail at the start of this <main> article.) In the current state, the most daring answer given to the main practical question is in the Peak Oil lede: "as of 2021, forecasts of the year of peak oil range from 2019 to 2040"... If that's really the best we can do, then it's not an argument for deleting (most) of the content in this article (maybe it's an argument against the deletion, since we need more detail on the reasons for uncertainty). Alternatively, if we can be more specific then a bold edit should solve it. -- Wragge ( talk) 02:22, 15 February 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Wragge If you or anyone else would like to spend the time and effort to bring the article up to scratch good luck with it - but I doubt there is enough good info to justify both this article and peak oil.

I don't see why this should not be spun out into a separate article that is suitably linked and summarized in the main article.

The bulk of the article actually discusses topics which already have articles of their own ( Albanian–Yugoslav conflict, 1981 protests in Kosovo, Adem Jashari, Insurgency in Kosovo (1995–1998), and Kosovo War). Leaving all of that out, we are left with a text about a supposed plan by the Communist-era leader of Albania Enver Hoxha to invade Yugoslavia after Josip Broz Tito's death which never materialized; content that can easily be merged into the Hoxha article or another.

The bigger problem is that the article links up various events in Kosovo post-Cold war era and declares that they were all part of one conflict that lasted from 1948-1999 with the direct involvement of Albania. It's a WP:SYNTH of sources and likely WP:OR on the part of the creator. This is not how bibliography or sources generally treat the subject. The level of involvement on the part of the government of Albania in the push for Kosovo independence or unification with Albania is also disputed. Even one of the sources cited, Julie Mertus' Kosovo: How Myths and Truths Started a War, says that "If Albania was, as some Serbs suggest, helping Kosovo Albanians in 1981, that move would have been against Albanian policy. Albanian had indeed beamed its television and radio programs and sent books over the border to Kosovo, but it did little more to encourage Kosovo Albanians to "unite with the motherland".. never wanting to create tensions with Yugoslavia, Albania had even returned members of illegal Kosovar groups who had sought shelter within its borders." Albanian influence in these various matters is something that could be mentioned but doubtful as an umbrella article of its own. Griboski ( talk) 22:50, 20 February 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Enver Hoxha had many conflicts with Yugoslavia or with Tito, about whom you also said that Enver Hoxha didn't want anything to go into any conflict with Yugoslavia, then tell me why Enver Hoxha had many plans with Mehmet Shehu to found Kosovar Albanian rebels, about whom Enver Hoxha also knew that there were many Albanians in Kosovo who made attacks on the Yugoslavs and Enver Hoxha withdrew and did not support Tito. NormalguyfromUK ( talk) 15:02, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Then to the protests in 1981 many Kosovo Albanian rebels like Nuhi Berisha and Rexhep Mala made attacks on Yugoslav policemen. Enver Hoxha supported their party and the Kosovars a lot during the crisis in Yugoslavia. Also because of this, Enver Hoxha made a plan to attack Yugoslavia during the 70 years in order to retake Kosovo. NormalguyfromUK ( talk) 15:06, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply
Please read more carefully. The issue is whether this topic deserves a stand-alone article. The article is mostly a rehashing of already existing articles. And I was not stating my opinion, I was using one of the sources you cited which stated that Albanian involvement in the 1981 protests was meager. -- Griboski ( talk) 18:00, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply
I understand, however, there is no reason to delete the article. Maybe if we want, we could add tags to this article with More sources to improve, but I don't understand this as deletion. Resistance also existed and ended like that when the Kosovo war ended. You yourself agreed with me, Yes, many of the articles were also taken from the Wiki article, but this is part of the Resistance, I will add the main articles again. Even if it could be improved, deleting the article makes no sense to me! There were also several protests by Kosovar Albanians in Yugoslavia, which I would like to add to the Resistance. NormalguyfromUK ( talk) 19:34, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply
The situation is not a linear conflict that lasted from 1948-1999. You're also conflating two different things. On the one hand, you're talking about Kosovar Albanian resistance to the incorporation of Kosovo into Yugoslavia (which pre-dates 1948 btw) and on the other hand, the Government of Albania/Hoxha's covert attempts to secede Kosovo from Yugoslavia and unite it into Albania. IF the article is salvaged, it has to focus on a single topic. It's also much more complicated than "resistance", which implies there was an armed resistance throughout this period when in fact much of the Cold War period in Kosovo was marked by relative stability. The protests themselves were for different reasons with some merely seeking more rights. When creating an article, you have to make sure that it's a notable topic that's covered in reliable sources, is not original research, synthesis of sources or a WP:CONTENTFORK -- Griboski ( talk) 20:21, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment -- There has been a longstanding nationalist movement in Kosovo, but how far this was promoted from Albania is doubtful. The militaries of many counties prepare plans (on paper) to invade their neighbours. What plans Albania may have developed may be interesting, but such plans are generally NN. I remain dubious of the merits of this article, but am not formally voting. Peterkingiron ( talk) 13:42, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge -- In addition to the aforementioned pages, the content can also be merged into Greater Albania. As mentioned previously, the events listed in the article are not connected and one would be extremely hard-pressed to find any reliable sources connecting these events. The content can be recycled as there is nothing wrong with it. ElderZamzam ( talk) 23:05, 21 February 2023 (UTC) reply
    • Delete -- Upon review of the possible pages for a merger, I can not see a way in which the content can be merged in a coherent manner. ElderZamzam ( talk) 21:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC) reply
  • This certainly seems to be a lot of improper synthesis. The 1981 stuff and beyond is especially jarring, because when I was reading sources about those protests, and a lot of them were Serbian, there was barely any mention of this kind of meddling by Albania. I remember recently reverting an edit like this at the protests article as well, I guess it spilled over... certainly I don't think it's appropriate that we talk in an encyclopedia about "plans" to attack Yugoslavia in the 80s in a B92 article that relays a Jutarnji list article. This is far enough in the past that we can require serious scholarly, historical sources, as opposed to this. The mention of Hoxha's November '82 speech is also weird, because the suppression of the protests started in April '81, and we have post mortem coverage from July '81. This needs to go. Albania–Yugoslavia relations can be as good as place as any to salvage the few paragraphs that make sense. -- Joy ( talk) 11:45, 22 February 2023 (UTC) reply

This "organization" is an individual whom is spreading misinformation about what a trans person is and encouraging cult-like and harmful practices. This individuals blog is full of racist comments and they believe a transgender person and a cross-dresser are one and the same a harmful view to be promoting. The "Pledge of Membership/Code of Conduct" on their website includes "When in public, a members presentation will be either 100% feminine or 100% masculine, no mixing of the two. This also would include the presence of facial hair when enfemme." meaning they are not willing to recognize nonbinary people http://www.triessmn.com/membership-pledge-code-of-conduct.html . The individual is a heterosexual male whos only part in the LGBT community is crossdressing. Their website is also not up to the standard of a real organization and sites no sources for the misinformation it provides on any of its 6 pages. It is also copywrite 2013. On the page "terminology" they wrongfully state : "The term "transgender" has become an umbrella term encompassing a wide variety of those who consider themselves to be one of the "gender variant". The term transgenderist was first coined by Virginia Prince, one of the co-founders of TriEss to differentiate somebody who wished to live their lives as the opposite gender, but has no desire to physically change their bodies. It recognizes that "sex is between your legs, gender is between your ears". " they again site no source for this claim and make several more incorrect statements about the history of terminology surrounding transgender people.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Frogwizard420 ( talkcontribs) 20:49, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Weak Keep. I can admit that the sourcing of this page is not great, but I also see it as a bit valuable and worthwhile, as it publishes "The Femme Mirror" (which is how I first heard of it) and other publications. I am worried that the comment by the OP provides no sources for their claims apart from one link to the tri-ess website, making me a bit skeptical of their claims. I would support making the article a re-direct to another page, if it comes down to it, but for now, I stand by a weak keep. Historyday01 ( talk) 02:51, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
Week Keep per @ Historyday01. I also want to add that I've come across this organization in my research of trans history often before so I know there are much better sources than used in the page. I'm surprised the article isn't more developed and frankly that the organization's still going, as I thought they'd fizzled out a while ago. The article needs serious work, no doubt there, so to leave for myself or whoever gets to it first: google news search (73 results) and google scholar search (264 results). I believe quite a few also contain criticism of their views/positions so those can be included as well. TheTranarchist ⚧ Ⓐ ( talk) 03:32, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply
I can agree, and it would be great to expand on the article with some more criticism. I really only heard of them tangentially, like you, during research on trans history. Historyday01 ( talk) 03:37, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply

Comment: I'm not sure what the deletion rationale actually is here. The fact that the subject spreads misinformation, or says racist or transphobic things, is not a reason for deletion; Wikipedia writes articles on notable people and organisations regardless of whether or not we agree with their views. The sourcing on the article looks dubious at first glance, but nobody actually seems to be arguing that the subject is not notable. Caeciliusinhorto-public ( talk) 09:06, 28 February 2023 (UTC) reply

    • Weak keep per newly-added sources. The SAGE Encyclopedia has a fully entry on it, about one page long, that's WP:SIRS. "Weak" because I'm not sure there's a second; the "Transgender Communities" chapter has about a paragraph on the organization.

    SAGE Encyclopedia of Trans Studies, Transgender Communities: Developing Identity Through Connection, and Virginia Prince: Transgender Pioneer to name 3. I added 5 sources total, removed some bad ones, and they provide a pretty good overview of the organization and its history at this point. If you still think there aren't enough I could always add more. Or you could. Anyone want to weigh in on if they think more sources are required?

    Thank you for expanding it.
