The list of people who have resigned from the House of Lords is already absurdly long, and it is only going to get longer every year. What's the point? It may have seemed like a novelty when the first resignations began happening, but this law has been in force for nine years now. No other article about a legislature maintains a list of everyone who has resigned from it. Richard75 ( talk) 23:47, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Deleted I created these as this maybe the solution:
List of peers retired under the House of Lords Reform Act 2014 (2014–2020)
List of peers retired under the House of Lords Reform Act 2014 (2021–present)

It is easier to maintain and just keep up to date with either the deaths and the future retirements.

This article frankly reads like an advertisement for the subject and, as of now, it's unclear that it meets WP:GNG.

Of the fourteen cited sources: four ([10]-[13]) are interviews with the website's creator; two ([1] and [6]) are About pages from the website; two are posts on the website itself ([8] and [14]); one ([7]) is a self-published blog post by one of the website's contributors; and one ([5]) is a post on another website by the website's creator. This leaves four reliable secondary sources, two of which only briefly mention Naked Capitalism in passing as recommendations, and the other two of which are short biographical stubs about the website's creator, without more than a passing reference to the website.

One thing that becomes immediately clear upon going through these sources is that they lack significant coverage of the website - often only briefly mentioning the website as a product of its creator, without any further detail. There seems to be more information about the website's creator than the website itself, so if no more significant coverage from reliable sources can be found, maybe a short stub about her could be salvaged from this. But in its current state, I don't think this article meets GNG and as such, am recommending it for deletion. Grnrchst ( talk) 12:13, 13 July 2023 (UTC) reply

    Delete. Even using the sourcing given above, it's one in a list of items. Nothing at length about it... I can't find much for sourcing. Oaktree b ( talk) 17:41, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ Oaktree b I should mention that the article in the Risk journal mentions that it is based on a piece in the journal Credit, a sister publication; this runs to three pages. People can have a look; it is available on ProQuest via the WP:Library. The Financial Times interview article (1,750 words) actually was one of a series about the blog (final instalment here. Even the TIME listing is over 200 words. There are brief endorsements in the New York Times like this one. I can have a further look around, but even just with those I would have thought GNG is well met.
    The one thing that does make things difficult is that Smith has written so many news articles that it's hard to find stuff about her and her blog in Google News. A lot of the hits are links to articles by her, with the author info mentioning the blog. (Note that Yves Smith – a pun on Adam Smith – redirects to Naked Capitalism.) Andreas JN 466 19:49, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    Honestly these sources just confirm to me that, if this article is to exist, it should be about Yves Smith. None of these sources refer to Naked Capitalism as anything other than Smith's blog. It isn't clearly independently notable from her, although she is clearly a notable figure herself. -- Grnrchst ( talk) 10:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    As I see it, the sources are primarily about the blog. Take the TIME and CNBC listings, or the Financial Times interview, which is all about the blog, or the Institutional Investor piece. It's the blog that makes Smith notable, not Smith that makes the blog notable. Andreas JN 466 11:11, 18 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Move to Susan Webber (blogger) and keep at that title. BD2412 T 18:06, 22 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ BD2412 The problem with that solution is that even though Naked Capitalism was started by Webber (a.k.a. Yves Smith), and she remains the most high-profile contributor, it is a group blog and is indexed as such here for example by EconAcademics.org (a site hosted by the Research Division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.)
    A past version of the article included a bunch of contributing writers (another editor deleted them because they were unsourced). Some of those contributors have been referred to or had their NC posts republished by third-party sources; e.g. Matt Stoller here, David Dayen (see [9], Alternet running a piece previously published on NC, also cf. [10]), Philip Pilkington ( [11] [12]), Nathan Tankus ( [13]), Jerri-Lynn Scofield [14] etc.
    So I think the solution is to bring the contributing writers back into the article, with references, and make clear to the reader that it is a group blog.
    (Indeed, if you look at https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/ today or its archives, posts by Smith are in the minority.)
    So could I ask you to give it another thought? Best, Andreas JN 466 14:17, 23 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    • My impression is that the most notable aspect of the blog is its founder, and everything we currently have about it can fit in a section of an article on its found, with a redirect tagged with {{ R with possibilities}}. BD2412 T 19:55, 23 July 2023 (UTC) reply

A biographical article about an acting tutor and working actor whose teaching work and film/TV roles seem significantly short of meeting the WP:NACTOR criteria. The closest may be the role in "La hija de un ladrón" but the subject is mentioned just in routine listings and by Lanaja Factory, which does not appear independent of the subject (see [15]); he is unmentioned on the film production company's page on the film [16].

Article fails WP:GNG. Bear in mind there are two other footballers with the same name. Simione001 ( talk) 23:08, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply

But forget all that for a second - while starting a search on him, I discovered that there are three different North Korean footballers named "Kang Kuk-chol." They were all born within about a decade of each other, are almost exactly the same height, all play the same position (defender), and two of them even allegedly played on the national team in the same year. If that's accurate, that's absolutely hilarious. If there weren't headshots of them on the (very sparse) source links, I wouldn't believe it. That said, it's North Korea, so I'm not really inclined to believe it. Are we sure at least two of these aren't the same guy? Kalethan ( talk) 15:57, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply
It wouldn't surprise me if two of them were indeed the same. North Korean football is such a mystery to me and I'd love it to explore it further but you never know what sources to actually trust. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:53, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - An article should speak for itself and explain to the reader what is notable about the subject. The article is about what the company says about itself, and not what third parties say about the company, so that it does not pass corporate notability. There is also a draft which is the same as this article, and the originator may have created two copies of the article so that the article could not be draftified.

I'm sympathetic but I need to be convinced - can you help reconcile our guidelines with the point you're making?
As for the other companies, if they have similar problems then they're vulnerable to deletion, too. Someone's going to throw out " WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS" to shoot down comments like yours. (I have some problems with the pejorative way people use that one, but I digress)
If you can't muster a convincing reply today, then I see two ways forward:
  1. Invoke WP:IAR. In my experience, that's sort of a Hail Mary pass in deletion discussions.
  2. Draftify this article for now, then start an RfC to change our notability guidance. Note that we already have some allowed exceptions for in-depth coverage for things like places (see WP:GEOLAND). Maybe we need one for companies like this, too.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it. I do not want to Invoke WP:IAR, I would like to do this properly and inline with Wikipedia’s rules. Please see below for my convincing in relation to notability guidelines, if we need to go down the RfC, then I would love to be able to assist.
General notability guidelines:
1.Presumed. There are over 30 reliable sources from industry bodies and domain registries, some of which also list Lexsynergy on their Wikipedia page, meaning it is is not an Orphan.
2. Significant coverage. Only one source is from the Lexsynergy website.
3. Reliable. The majority of sources are secondary, from well-established news outlets or from industry verified (via non-profit industry regulator) vendors.
Subject-specific guidelines (organizations and companies):
1. Lexsynergy have attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the organization or product, such as well-established news outlets.
2. Smaller organizations and their products can be notable without being synonyms with fame. Lexsynergy have won several awards and are referenced across the internet and Wikipedia as an accredited registrar.
3. There are examples of substantial coverage, including reports by Industry bodies, providers and regulators. KyleGouveiaPortsmouth ( talk) 16:15, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Significant coverage is different from independence from the subject. Significant coverage requires that the coverage is in-depth. Please see WP:ORGDEPTH, which provides a lot of helpful guidance. ARandomName123 ( talk) 00:31, 1 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: A random selection of references seems to show that most sources are either listings and provide no significant coverage, or are not independent of the subject. No indication it meets WP:NORG. ARandomName123 ( talk) 00:27, 1 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Article fails WP:BIO, current sources are a list of Academy Award nominations and a very brief obituary. Searching finds very little with coverage of the award nomination limited to the name appearing in articles listing all nominees. For example this list article. A redirect to Das Boot (film), where he is mentioned in the Accolades section, is an alternative to deletion. Gab4gab ( talk) 18:19, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply

The German article has more information: de:Trevor Pyke. Unfortunately, despite Pyke's notability, neither the English nor the German articles have information about his life and career that doesn't come from IMDb, an unreliable source ( WP:IMDB), or his terse 2-sentence paid obituary. I found no good refs except some tiny little bits. [28] Hence the redirect; we just don't have enough to build an article with.

This article is a short list of information that is inherently unverifiable because it is all based on reports of supposed apologies issued by a referee association. More importantly, this list violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE. This list has no place on Wikipedia, as we don't just stockpile information for the sake of it. At best, this could be a subsection on PGMOL's article. Paul Vaurie ( talk) 10:49, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Weak keep - The relevant guideline here is WP:NLIST which requires that the items listed have been discussed as a group/set by multiple independent reliable sources. I have found the following - [29], [30], [31] - which I think just about meet that requirement. The Mirror/Irish Mirror are not ideal sources but neither are they unreliable (see WP:DAILYMIRROR) - and I am not certain as to whether we should treat them as one source or two (they seem to be using the same source material, but the copy is different, with two different writers). Nevertheless, I think we just about have significant coverage in two or three reliable sources. This is also a potential source, although it does not focus directly on PGMOL apologies. No issues with the Squawka article as far as I can tell. This is not inherently unverifiable - all the incidents listed can be verified by reliable sources, such as news reports. Neither does this violate WP:INDISCRIMINATE - the list here does not compare with the examples given on that policy page. WJ94 ( talk) 12:03, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Good evening, I searched many time in Wikipedia about about the verses of Quran having direct link some subject i.e. Allah (God) but could not find. Took a lot of time to find such objective verses pertaining to some particular matter. I think very; briefly I tried to relate Quranic verses to a particular matter/subject. I am still convinced that this page may not be considered for deletion, Thank You Khan Muhammad Akazai ( talk) 15:44, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Would you mind explaining in more detail what you intended for this article to be about? It's possible a new article could written. As someone else has already mentioned in this discussion, Wikipedia is not Wikiquote (see What Wikipedia is not). So there's shouldn't be an article of just quotes. But if these quotes are a topic that others have studied and have written about, Wikipedia could have an article summarizing what these others have said. I'm just not sure what the topic is.

Look again. It's NOT a timetable! The routes are there, the ridership, the route length, but NOT A TIMETABLE.

Fixed routes is about everything that a regional bus service does. It's the CORE of the company's operations and doesn't need to be seperately notable. Just needs to be sometimes spun off. Not here but sometimes. Plus that statement isn't true. We know that news outlets regularly report on changes, efficiencies and needs of bus services. It is highly notable. Just it doesn't need to be, as long as the company and mode of transportation are notable. gidonb ( talk) 22:42, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Anyway, he has not yet made a senior Olympics debut (only a 10th place Youth Olympics finish and the Canadian team qualifying for 2024): it will be easier to judge GNG notability after that and so the article should at least be draftified (not deleted and not content-removal redirected yet) for this purpose.

This is a case for TNT. The subject is certainly sensible, but the article is in a dreadful state. It's peppered with random definitions and quotations, unsourced, and often just general bits of cell biology with no particular connection to proteins. The referencing is dismal. Many items in the list don't lead anywhere (no link, no idea what they would link to anyway). The hierarchies of the list, if it has any, are very unclear, so it doesn't really organise the material in any useful way. I think this was a good idea in the distant past that's got lost, and it's time to get rid of it and start again.

  • Delete The last nom was in 2009, so this isn't a frivolous renom. A list like this is inherently unworkable. Estimating the net worth of historical figures is fraught with uncertainty, and it's not clear that you can meaningfully compare the net worth of people who died hundreds or even thousands of years apart.

  • Delete Unlike lists such as those of the tallest mountain, oldest living person, etc., there is no possible way to make anywhere near accurate estimates. That's abundantly clear for historical figures where not only are there almost insurmountable problems to convert what we think is their wealth to current values, we often cannot be sure we have sufficient evidence. Even with living people it's difficult to determine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller ( talkcontribs) 08:23, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment in its current state, the list is clearly unworkable. It attempts to give extensive information on each individual, which means it's going to have to find an unreasonably tight criterion on richness to avoid being huge. And the inflation-adjusted wealth values are pretty meaningless as one goes back into the mists of time. But, I think there is a case for a simple navigational list, made up only of article-names, pointing to articles of historical figures who are particularly noted for being outrageously wealthy (e.g. Croesus). This is clearly a reasonable encyclopaedic question that a reader might ask, and they can browse the articles on the individuals themselves. It would also be easy to define (must have an existing article, WP article must cite multiple references mentioning enormous wealth specifically; usually wealth would feature in the Lead) and it wouldn't need to address quantitatively wealth-in-modern-terms (that, if estimates are available and deemed useful, belongs in the target article).

Yspaddadenpenkawr ( talk) 15:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete because the list of such figures is ambiguous (pre-Industrial Revolution wealth is nearly impossible to precisely measure), seems to heavily include English nobility but not that of many other European countries or regions, and is dynamic--new discoveries could change the numbers. I would keep or note the Industrial Revolution magnates, whose wealth is less ambiguous and can be adjusted for inflation though in a separate article.

This page is full of biased language and includes analysis of the citations to imply a particular point of view. It also conflates different issues (i.e. mentioning a laundry list of Healy's past "controversies", Banks' comments), and tries to connect it to the episode with much editorial bias, and even links it to other pages (i.e. Olivia Benson). Some examples below:

There was also an attempt to shoehorn the page to another page the editor created with the same conflation and bias:

I would like to express my amazement that in six days, no other editors from the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matty Healy (2nd nomination) or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ross MacDonald discussions have chirped in on this. (I'm not planning on pinging anyone, as that would be WP:CANVASSING, although I see that 119.94.172.56 has done just that.) The then-bloated Background section I included due to the wealth of "what is the Matty Healy controversy" style articles that came out in May such as [39] [40] [41], though I suppose it is already covered in the parent article, and the Banks section is well within scope as a reliably sourced direct response to Healy's comments on the controversy. To expand upon the above, I would like to point out to the closer of this nomination the following:
  1. that purported bias is a surmountable problem and therefore not a reason for deletion,
  2. that WP:ATTACK does not apply here as all content requiring reliable sources has them (i.e., not the WP:LEDE or MOS:PLOT - although I'd really like to see better sourcing for what's left of the Background section),
  3. that plots are supposed to be primary sourced per WP:PLOTCITE (which is what I meant by "what I heard"), and
  4. that with five months of coverage, this article makes mincemeat of WP:GNG.
WP:DUE "requires that mainspace articles and pages fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in those sources", and I am satisfied that I have done so.-- Laun chba ller 12:33, 23 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete / Merge: This does not need its own page per WP:NOPAGE as this page is mere WP:NPOVFACT-- "an attempt to evade the neutrality policy by creating a new article about a subject that is already treated in an article, often to avoid or highlight negative or positive viewpoints or facts. POV forks are not permitted on Wikipedia."
The page's original title before move was Matty Healy's appearance on The Adam Friedland Show The page move with the podcast title can be argued as another evasion of WP:NPOVFACT given its content. The content of the page has already been covered in Matty Healy's page (after disputes, and eventual consensus by several editors), as well as the podcast's page.
*Evidence of content forking to evade neutrality *
(1) The creator of this page has a history of editing Healy's page repeatedly about the podcast episode like here and here among a few, and even listed all of the things Healy has apparently been accused in the page's lede despite claims not being reflected with WP:NPOV in the body.
(2) Violates WP:NOTSCANDAL / WP:NOTOPINION, giving undue weight and rehash upon rehash of the topic. A cherry-picked list of Healy's perceived past indiscretions included by the creator to serve as "Background" section of this page even though sources cited do not relate it to the podcast is an attempt to establish notability and highlight negative viewpoints. Pages should be WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTDIARY with the page creator having also done this in Healy's page previously like here. This page is a patchwork very loosely sewn together to appear notable in itself.
(3) Page also does not pass WP:NOTESSAY especially after a particular mass revert by the page creator after another editor's cleanup with an Edit Summary stating "Sorry, but I know what I heard." despite The Guardian explicitly saying: "It’s worth noting that a lot of fans are incorrectly attributing a lot of the co-hosts’ comments to Healy."

  • MERGE OR DELETE Using WP:DEL-REASON, there are three reasons why this page should be deleted (tho, personally merging it with the podcast would suffice).
One, this is basically an WP:ATTACK page based on the point of view it was written, content (full of editorialising, original research, sourcing bias, indiscriminate inclusion of irrelevant incidents to put the subject in a worse light), and intolerance of the creator in revisions by other users as pointed above. The tone has already been an issue on Matty Healy's page for so long (one editor was even named "I Hate Matty Healy" lol), and his page just recently became stable WP:STABLE. Which leads me to...
Two, conveniently, after Healy's page reached its stable version after much content disputes and edit warring, this was created. This is simply content forking for WP:WEIGHT to what was already covered extensively in Healy's page.
Three, again, this is riddled with original research. Maxen Embry ( talk) 11:06, 18 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete due to the biased language and sources which put Friedland and Mullen in a worse light, per WP:WEIGHT, although I think adding a section dedicated to this episode under the Adam Friedland Show page wouldn't be too bad of an idea. ChessPiece21 ( talk) 13:47, 22 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as I'd like to hear from other editors whether or not this article could be seen as an attack page. I do know I've never seen 29,303 bytes written on ONE episode of a podcast series so it clearly is overly detailed in relation to its significance. The question is whether the bias that is argued is in the article is inherent in the article's existence or whether it can be corrected through editing.

In my BEFORE, I found no particular shortage of references on the nightlife and the sink hole. An occasional article addresses yet another topic. Hence my conclusions on what the road is mostly noted for. Elemimele maps some of that below. Note that I subscribe to WP:NOTINHERETED. If only one building or land use is discussed, it creates passing mentions and does not add to notability. Only if an article discusses many buildings or land uses along a road, the road turns into the actual focus of an article. Your response seems to imply that AFDISCLEANUP. It is not.

  • Keep, as the bus incident alone, which is supported by a ref and could be supported by any number more, was quite a major event in Norwich history, and keeps coming up (or down!) in the news [42], as well as scholarly write-up. [43] I'd note too that the road is lined by notable places, for example the Plantation Garden, Norwich, whose chalk-quarry origins explain how the bus came to disappear so dramatically, the Earlham Road Cemetery, Norwich, the Catholic cathedral, Earlham Hall and the University. If nothing else, this road article provides a very useful "list" article allowing navigation of a whole set of undisputedly notable locations along its length, but it also puts them in context. Of course other things have happened there too, a well-known bust-up between developers and tenants that at one stage looked like it might result in a change in the law, and was documented by a photographer. [44]; some of its historic buildings could be referenced to Pevsner if that would help (e.g. [45]. Earlham road was also the site of one of the city's historic gaols (the other was the castle), and has importance for the history of Jews in Norwich (note Chantry place is a modern square situated between Earlham road and the next major arterial round). [46] As roads go, this one has many centuries of documented history, archaeology, coherence and relevance as the spine of a major suburb of Norwich today; it's very far from a minor B-road. The article's deletion would be a sad loss; it can very easily be improved by sources. Elemimele ( talk) 20:51, 9 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    • Yes, but most of those have articles already. -- Rs chen 7754 20:53, 9 July 2023 (UTC) reply
      Exactly. When you put a load of buildings in a row, with access down the middle, it's a street. And notable streets tend to be those that link a lot of notable buildings... If none of the buildings, parks, cathedrals, universities etc. in Earlham road qualified for an article, the road itself would indeed just be a minor B-road leading out of a city. In fact, this is one of the very few streets in the UK that has its own entirely independent claim on notability, an event that it achieved with the aid solely of a bus, and without needing to rely on any buildings at all. There are very few roads that have eaten a substantial item of public transport and been remembered for it for nearly a quarter of a century. Give the poor road a chance, if you deny it its notabiliy this time round, who knows what it will have to do to the unfortunate residents of Norwich to get itself an article next time. Elemimele ( talk) 21:48, 9 July 2023 (UTC) reply
      Before I go on leave, i will break down the issues:
      • The article should exist because of the sinkhole incident. Should it? Do a search of wikipedia of sinkhole incidents, there is only one article i can find that has a page, Bayou Corne sinkhole. This page already has a notice to improve as there has been nothing updated since 2015. In fact no sustained proof on the article, and in reality it should be redirecred and merged into the Bayou Corne, Louisiana article. This has happened to other sinkhole incidents. The incident in Norwich, has sustained coverage but it should be in the Norwich page, as it is the locality of the incident or have its own page.
      • The article should exist as links together other notable areas. Well inherited notability is not allowed.
      • Secondly, The Cathedral is linked in the Norwich article, the cemetery should be linked to Norwich. The University and Park are in Earlham, not on Earlham Road (as the article points out!), which for some reason Earlham doesn't have a page, which is probably notable. The synagogue again is in Norwich so should linked in this article. Earlham Hall is in Earlham, again why no article. Golden Triangle is an area of Norwich, which is notable, but Earlham Road is the boundary of this area, is that notable? No, the article just needs link to Norwich. The Plantation Garden is already linked in on the Norwich page.
      So basically we have a road that isn't notable except for one incident, the notable locations along it are either linked to the area they are in, and we have a notable area of Norwich (and former civil parish) that the road is named after that doesn't have a page! There are more historically notable roads in Norwich that don't have articles, like Tombland that have not been written about. Davidstewartharvey ( talk) 06:28, 10 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. See proposal below Agree with User:Gidonb — the fact that a street has many notable buildings helps cement its own notability. A road is more than tarmac and pavement. As User:Elemimele points out the bus sink hole event makes the road notable. A recent source describes the changing nature of part of the road and feature points along it, https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/23637344.earlham-road-norwich-becoming-citys-top-food-spot/ There's history on the bridge crossing the River Yare [49] - admittedly a better source needs finding to verify the details. Believe this road was part of the Norwich-Watton turnpike trust est. in 1770. Rupples ( talk) 07:27, 15 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Proposal. Keep but retitle the article "Earlham, Norfolk or Earlham, Norwich". This is the second time the article has been AfD'd. I acknowledge and take into account the concern expressed by the nominator and !delete votes. What struck me when searching for sources was surprise that no article had been written on Earlham. Earlham was an ancient and civil parish distinct from Norwich up until 1889 see https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10093790 There is content on Earlham's history and I believe the encyclopedia would be better served by having an article on Earlham the place rather than one restricted to Earlham Road. The opening paragraph and some of the text would need amending but the majority of content could be retained as it is still relevant to Earlham the place. I believe the retitled article would fall under WP:GEOLAND as a former legally, recognized populated place and notability isn't temporary WP:NTEMP. Pinging all contributors to this AfD for their views on this proposal in the hope that consensus can be achieved: @ Davidstewartharvey, @ Let'srun, @ Oaktree b, @ Gidonb, @ Rschen7754, @ Elemimele, @ Okoslavia.

Hey Rupples, I think that both are notable. You are free to create said article! gidonb ( talk) 17:12, 15 July 2023 (UTC) reply
That's a tricky one. I'd agree there's nothing wrong with writing an article about Earlham the historic parish, and it could blend into Earlham, the modern region of Norwich, but I personally don't know what determines the actual boundary of Earlham today, and almost by definition the Norwich end of Earlham road isn't Earlham (or wasn't in origin...) because it was historically the road out of Norwich that led to Earlham! The places where you'd hope for a definitive boundary seem to provide only a centre-point. [50] Elemimele ( talk) 19:46, 15 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Yes, there's probably too much of the road outside of the historic boundary of Earlham to make a good fit. Oh well, seemed initially like a decent compromise. Guess this article will have to stand or fall as is. Thanks for replying and Gidonb. Rupples ( talk) 21:44, 15 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, seems to pass the GNG. While searching "Earlham Road" leaves one drowning in mundanities, searching for "Earlham Road" + "tram" yields considerably more interesting results. In particular this (paywalled) paper published in Engineering Geology has some very interesting background on the history of subsidence incidents along Earlham Road, neatly putting the bus incident into context. And this conservation area appraisal contains a wealth of historical information -- and even if the report itself is rejected as potentially being in the pocket of Big Road, it provides abundant starting points for further searches. This issue of Norfolk Archeology appears to have some in-depth discussion of the tunnels under Earlham Road that were re-discovered in 1823. All of these are well above the WP:SIGCOV threshold, covering the subject directly and in detail. In sum, there seems to be ample historical material to work with here. -- Visviva ( talk) 03:28, 19 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    The Conservation Appraisal is a perfect example of why Earlham Road is not notable. The report is for Heigham Grove, not Earlham Road. This is a suburb of Norwich, again without a wiki article which is notable. In fact this book [51] on the parish of St Giles has no mention of the road, but describes how the hamlet of Heigham Grove grew to encompass the parish (from 1886). As per the previous arguments, the road isn't notable, but the suburbs of Norwich are, and so these articles should be created. Davidstewartharvey ( talk) 05:25, 19 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Then I think we have a viable solution: Temporarily Keep this article until those are created, incorporate the useful (sourced) bits of this one, then retire this article as NN.

  • Delete, without prejudice. (Disclaimer: Referred to dispute from RFC bot on subject article's talk page) I do think that there is an intent to promote, and I do see that there is reasonable cause for a close connection. He's not an iconic broadcaster on a global basis (like Joe Rogan) nor on a local basis (like Pittsburgh's Joe DeNardo); saying he could be in the future would be a WP:CRYSTALBALL violation. While anything is possible with him, we don't determine notability based on unconfirmed notions; rather, we wait until such figure becomes notable and then write. It's how things have gone for a long time, it's a policy I support, and I neither foresee nor desire that its core message be changed.InvadingInvader ( userpage, talk) 02:15, 25 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    By saying he's not Joe Rogan is an WP:OSE argument. As you said "we don't determine notability based on unconfirmed notions", and that's true. We confirm notability based on reliable sources which are here by the way of the NY Times, Politico, and Variety, also local news from America's largest metropolitan area and niche sources confirm. If there's evidence to promote, then present it. Fodient ( talk) 02:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    Such sources mention him in passing and little have SIGCOV. I don't think that my usage of Rogan and DeNardo constitutes as an OSE argument. The examples provided in OSE are along the lines of We do not have an article on y, so we should not have an article on this; not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that Morano is not like Rogan where there are in-depth sources without affiliation to the subject. The NY Times article you bring up mentions him only ONCE, and in passing just for being the chair of some local board. I have qualified my statement of intent to promote with "I think"; since I am not god of the universe, I cannot know everybody's intentions, but I do get a gut feeling in my stomach based on previous debates that there is some intent to promote based on previous deletion. I qualify my statements when I am not 100% sure that something is the case, and it is important that you recognize such.

While there are many citations throughout the article, in spotchecking the references, it seems like some of them fail verification – in other words, they don't always back up the specific claims made.

    First section: Frank Morano is an American radio personality, radio, television and film producer, and political operative. He currently hosts the syndicated talk radio program The Other Side of Midnight from Red Apple Media's flagship station 770 AM WABC. Right out of his biography on WABC website. Not the best source but reliable enough to confirm his current employment.

    Radio host section: Starting in 2011, Frank Morano hosted Morano in the Morning on 970AM The Answer. In 2020, he began hosting The Other Side of Midnight overnights on WABC. The show has since been syndicated The source states he went to WABC in 2020. We know thats the name of his program. I just added a source stating his program is syndicated.

    Producer section: As a producer, Frank Morano has mostly worked in talk radio. He, produced programs on 770 AM WABC and 970 AM The Answer. The hosts of these programs included Joe Piscopo, Curtis Sliwa, and John Catsimatidis. On Newsmax, Morano was the managing editor for Liquid Lunch and a producer for Vito Fossella's Table Talk. He served as a producer for the 2017 Netflix documentary Get Me Roger Stone. I can remove As a producer, Frank Morano has mostly worked in talk radio., maybe its WP: OR but that seemed obvious based on the ratio from source. Newsmax's website listed him as managing editor for that program but that source was removed, probably incorrectly.

    Political section Frank Morano is a Staten Island resident that has been involved in local politics. Morano is currently the board chair for Staten Island Community Board 3. Morano was originally registered with the Independence Party of New York. He resigned from the Independence Party in 2010 after the party leadership refused to grant a Wilson Pakula to Republican State Assembly candidate Nicole Malliotakis. He went on to serve in a leadership role for New York State third parties with ballot access Reform Party and SAM Party. Everyone of those sources confirms everything in that section.

    Personal life Frank Morano is married to Rachel O'Brien.

    Which reliable sources independent of the subject or his job are WP:SIGCOV? InvadingInvader ( userpage, talk) 03:40, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    He is the subject of articles. Additionally multiple news outlets have reached out to him for quote or felt his opinion was significant enough to be quoted in their news article. The significant coverage by reliable sources of the subject, his job, voluntary political work, and his personal life is what makes him notable. All of which occurs in the largest metropolitan area in America. Fodient ( talk) 17:12, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    What articles? The ones that are online and are from reliable sources which are presently cited in the article mention him once in passing, which doesn't meet our notability standards. The fact he's in the NYC area doesn't matter when it comes to notability; if that were the case every person from NYC would be notable and we'd be flooded with database-entry like articles which are solely justified per OSE matters. Some of them aren't even online as when I try to read them, I get a 404. InvadingInvader ( userpage, talk) 17:31, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    Being from NYC is a factor. A media personality in huge market is going to be more notable than a media personality in a small market, and when you add in syndication the notability increases. No one is saying that merely being from NYC makes you notable. Reference 2, 3, 9 and 13 are about the subject. Reference 11, 12 have him significantly mentioned - the politico article mentions his name thirteen times. Reference 4 has a notable publication demonstrating his rankings. Reference 5 and 6 are reliable sources that amplify his producer credits. Reference 7 and 8 provide reliable sources that indicate his community service. Although he isn't affiliated with one of the two major parties, the totality of the references indicate that the subject is a major local political figure in NYC third party politics WP:Politician. Fodient ( talk) 19:10, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    Hosting a radio show which is only confined to one metro doesn't make such person notable. Morano did not make the same impact as a mayor or as a celebrity. Reference 13 is WP:TRIVIA. Bragging about community service as you've mentioned for refs 7 and 8 seem to me like a method to promote. InvadingInvader ( userpage, talk) 03:05, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    The article mentions that he is syndicated and two refences support that, I don't understand why you're saying in one metro area. I have no affiliation with the subject. Are you claiming that I'm bragging for him with references 7 and 8? I guess to some degree personal life sections are always WP:TRIVIA, but the eclectic group of notable people indicates that this section supports person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.

This article frankly reads like an advertisement for the subject and, as of now, it's unclear that it meets WP:GNG.

Of the fourteen cited sources: four ([10]-[13]) are interviews with the website's creator; two ([1] and [6]) are About pages from the website; two are posts on the website itself ([8] and [14]); one ([7]) is a self-published blog post by one of the website's contributors; and one ([5]) is a post on another website by the website's creator. This leaves four reliable secondary sources, two of which only briefly mention Naked Capitalism in passing as recommendations, and the other two of which are short biographical stubs about the website's creator, without more than a passing reference to the website.

One thing that becomes immediately clear upon going through these sources is that they lack significant coverage of the website - often only briefly mentioning the website as a product of its creator, without any further detail. There seems to be more information about the website's creator than the website itself, so if no more significant coverage from reliable sources can be found, maybe a short stub about her could be salvaged from this. But in its current state, I don't think this article meets GNG and as such, am recommending it for deletion. Grnrchst ( talk) 12:13, 13 July 2023 (UTC) reply

    Delete. Even using the sourcing given above, it's one in a list of items. Nothing at length about it... I can't find much for sourcing. Oaktree b ( talk) 17:41, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ Oaktree b I should mention that the article in the Risk journal mentions that it is based on a piece in the journal Credit, a sister publication; this runs to three pages. People can have a look; it is available on ProQuest via the WP:Library. The Financial Times interview article (1,750 words) actually was one of a series about the blog (final instalment here. Even the TIME listing is over 200 words. There are brief endorsements in the New York Times like this one. I can have a further look around, but even just with those I would have thought GNG is well met.
    The one thing that does make things difficult is that Smith has written so many news articles that it's hard to find stuff about her and her blog in Google News. A lot of the hits are links to articles by her, with the author info mentioning the blog. (Note that Yves Smith – a pun on Adam Smith – redirects to Naked Capitalism.) Andreas JN 466 19:49, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    Honestly these sources just confirm to me that, if this article is to exist, it should be about Yves Smith. None of these sources refer to Naked Capitalism as anything other than Smith's blog. It isn't clearly independently notable from her, although she is clearly a notable figure herself. -- Grnrchst ( talk) 10:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    As I see it, the sources are primarily about the blog. Take the TIME and CNBC listings, or the Financial Times interview, which is all about the blog, or the Institutional Investor piece. It's the blog that makes Smith notable, not Smith that makes the blog notable. Andreas JN 466 11:11, 18 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Move to Susan Webber (blogger) and keep at that title. BD2412 T 18:06, 22 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ BD2412 The problem with that solution is that even though Naked Capitalism was started by Webber (a.k.a. Yves Smith), and she remains the most high-profile contributor, it is a group blog and is indexed as such here for example by EconAcademics.org (a site hosted by the Research Division of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.)
    A past version of the article included a bunch of contributing writers (another editor deleted them because they were unsourced). Some of those contributors have been referred to or had their NC posts republished by third-party sources; e.g. Matt Stoller here, David Dayen (see [9], Alternet running a piece previously published on NC, also cf. [10]), Philip Pilkington ( [11] [12]), Nathan Tankus ( [13]), Jerri-Lynn Scofield [14] etc.
    So I think the solution is to bring the contributing writers back into the article, with references, and make clear to the reader that it is a group blog.
    (Indeed, if you look at https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/ today or its archives, posts by Smith are in the minority.)
    So could I ask you to give it another thought? Best, Andreas JN 466 14:17, 23 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    • My impression is that the most notable aspect of the blog is its founder, and everything we currently have about it can fit in a section of an article on its found, with a redirect tagged with {{ R with possibilities}}. BD2412 T 19:55, 23 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Article fails WP:GNG. Bear in mind there are two other footballers with the same name. Simione001 ( talk) 23:08, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply

But forget all that for a second - while starting a search on him, I discovered that there are three different North Korean footballers named "Kang Kuk-chol." They were all born within about a decade of each other, are almost exactly the same height, all play the same position (defender), and two of them even allegedly played on the national team in the same year. If that's accurate, that's absolutely hilarious. If there weren't headshots of them on the (very sparse) source links, I wouldn't believe it. That said, it's North Korea, so I'm not really inclined to believe it. Are we sure at least two of these aren't the same guy? Kalethan ( talk) 15:57, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply

The article is about what the company says about itself, and not what third parties say about the company, so that it does not pass corporate notability. There is also a draft which is the same as this article, and the originator may have created two copies of the article so that the article could not be draftified.

@ KyleGouveiaPortsmouth, I'm not saying you're wrong to keep but I'm trying to reconcile what you're saying about the refs versus my understanding of our current guidelines which usually call for some sort of in-depth coverage. I'm sympathetic but I need to be convinced - can you help reconcile our guidelines with the point you're making?
As for the other companies, if they have similar problems then they're vulnerable to deletion, too. Someone's going to throw out " WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS" to shoot down comments like yours. (I have some problems with the pejorative way people use that one, but I digress)
If you can't muster a convincing reply today, then I see two ways forward:
  1. Invoke WP:IAR. In my experience, that's sort of a Hail Mary pass in deletion discussions.
  2. Draftify this article for now, then start an RfC to change our notability guidance. Note that we already have some allowed exceptions for in-depth coverage for things like places (see WP:GEOLAND). Maybe we need one for companies like this, too.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it. I do not want to Invoke WP:IAR, I would like to do this properly and inline with Wikipedia’s rules. Please see below for my convincing in relation to notability guidelines, if we need to go down the RfC, then I would love to be able to assist.
General notability guidelines:
1.Presumed. There are over 30 reliable sources from industry bodies and domain registries, some of which also list Lexsynergy on their Wikipedia page, meaning it is is not an Orphan.
2. Significant coverage. Only one source is from the Lexsynergy website.
3. Reliable. The majority of sources are secondary, from well-established news outlets or from industry verified (via non-profit industry regulator) vendors.
Subject-specific guidelines (organizations and companies):
1. Lexsynergy have attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the organization or product, such as well-established news outlets.
2. Smaller organizations and their products can be notable without being synonyms with fame. Lexsynergy have won several awards and are referenced across the internet and Wikipedia as an accredited registrar.
3. There are examples of substantial coverage, including reports by Industry bodies, providers and regulators. KyleGouveiaPortsmouth ( talk) 16:15, 27 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Article fails WP:BIO, current sources are a list of Academy Award nominations and a very brief obituary. Searching finds very little with coverage of the award nomination limited to the name appearing in articles listing all nominees. For example this list article. A redirect to Das Boot (film), where he is mentioned in the Accolades section, is an alternative to deletion. Gab4gab ( talk) 18:19, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply

The German article has more information: de:Trevor Pyke. Unfortunately, despite Pyke's notability, neither the English nor the German articles have information about his life and career that doesn't come from IMDb, an unreliable source ( WP:IMDB), or his terse 2-sentence paid obituary. I found no good refs except some tiny little bits. [28] Hence the redirect; we just don't have enough to build an article with.

This article is a short list of information that is inherently unverifiable because it is all based on reports of supposed apologies issued by a referee association. More importantly, this list violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE. This list has no place on Wikipedia, as we don't just stockpile information for the sake of it. At best, this could be a subsection on PGMOL's article. Paul Vaurie ( talk) 10:49, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Weak keep - The relevant guideline here is WP:NLIST which requires that the items listed have been discussed as a group/set by multiple independent reliable sources. I have found the following - [29], [30], [31] - which I think just about meet that requirement. The Mirror/Irish Mirror are not ideal sources but neither are they unreliable (see WP:DAILYMIRROR) - and I am not certain as to whether we should treat them as one source or two (they seem to be using the same source material, but the copy is different, with two different writers). Nevertheless, I think we just about have significant coverage in two or three reliable sources. This is also a potential source, although it does not focus directly on PGMOL apologies. No issues with the Squawka article as far as I can tell. This is not inherently unverifiable - all the incidents listed can be verified by reliable sources, such as news reports. Neither does this violate WP:INDISCRIMINATE - the list here does not compare with the examples given on that policy page. WJ94 ( talk) 12:03, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Look again. It's NOT a timetable! The routes are there, the ridership, the route length, but NOT A TIMETABLE.

Fixed routes is about everything that a regional bus service does. It's the CORE of the company's operations and doesn't need to be seperately notable. Just needs to be sometimes spun off. Not here but sometimes. Plus that statement isn't true. We know that news outlets regularly report on changes, efficiencies and needs of bus services. It is highly notable. Just it doesn't need to be, as long as the company and mode of transportation are notable. gidonb ( talk) 22:42, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Anyway, he has not yet made a senior Olympics debut (only a 10th place Youth Olympics finish and the Canadian team qualifying for 2024): it will be easier to judge GNG notability after that and so the article should at least be draftified (not deleted and not content-removal redirected yet) for this purpose.

While that article includes information about controversy in Obama's nominations, it's also a comprehensive list of all his nominees that were never confirmed.

This is a case for TNT. The subject is certainly sensible, but the article is in a dreadful state. It's peppered with random definitions and quotations, unsourced, and often just general bits of cell biology with no particular connection to proteins. The referencing is dismal. Many items in the list don't lead anywhere (no link, no idea what they would link to anyway). The hierarchies of the list, if it has any, are very unclear, so it doesn't really organise the material in any useful way. I think this was a good idea in the distant past that's got lost, and it's time to get rid of it and start again.

Nominating it after small discussion on WP:FTN.

I agree that this article is WP:OR and WP:LISTCRUFT. The stated amount of the wealth is broadly inconsistent among the low quality sources that provide coverage to this subject. Aman Kumar Goel ( Talk) 04:31, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete The last nom was in 2009, so this isn't a frivolous renom. A list like this is inherently unworkable. Estimating the net worth of historical figures is fraught with uncertainty, and it's not clear that you can meaningfully compare the net worth of people who died hundreds or even thousands of years apart. The criter for what qualifies one to be on this list is also very unclear. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 04:40, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Honestly, the sheer breadth of time involved makes this type of list unworkable. Furthermore, the fact that the sources evidently do not agree is another severe issue with listing historical figures by wealth. ― Susmuffin  Talk 07:34, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Unlike lists such as those of the tallest mountain, oldest living person, etc., there is no possible way to make anywhere near accurate estimates. That's abundantly clear for historical figures where not only are there almost insurmountable problems to convert what we think is their wealth to current values, we often cannot be sure we have sufficient evidence. Even with living people it's difficult to determine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller ( talkcontribs) 08:23, 24 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment in its current state, the list is clearly unworkable. It attempts to give extensive information on each individual, which means it's going to have to find an unreasonably tight criterion on richness to avoid being huge. And the inflation-adjusted wealth values are pretty meaningless as one goes back into the mists of time. But, I think there is a case for a simple navigational list, made up only of article-names, pointing to articles of historical figures who are particularly noted for being outrageously wealthy (e.g. Croesus). This is clearly a reasonable encyclopaedic question that a reader might ask, and they can browse the articles on the individuals themselves. It would also be easy to define (must have an existing article, WP article must cite multiple references mentioning enormous wealth specifically; usually wealth would feature in the Lead) and it wouldn't need to address quantitatively wealth-in-modern-terms (that, if estimates are available and deemed useful, belongs in the target article).

  • Delete per all the arguments given above. I concur with Elemimele's comment- there might be a case for something like a "list of historical figures noted for their wealth," but this article as it stands (the ranking and equation stuff) represents an untenable project, and it's impossible to imagine a version of it that avoids OR, SYNTH, etc (unless it's just reproducing a list given in an RS). Yspaddadenpenkawr ( talk) 15:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete because the list of such figures is ambiguous (pre-Industrial Revolution wealth is nearly impossible to precisely measure), seems to heavily include English nobility but not that of many other European countries or regions, and is dynamic--new discoveries could change the numbers. I would keep or note the Industrial Revolution magnates, whose wealth is less ambiguous and can be adjusted for inflation though in a separate article.

This page is full of biased language and includes analysis of the citations to imply a particular point of view. It also conflates different issues (i.e. mentioning a laundry list of Healy's past "controversies", Banks' comments), and tries to connect it to the episode with much editorial bias, and even links it to other pages (i.e. Olivia Benson). Some examples below:

There was also an attempt to shoehorn the page to another page the editor created with the same conflation and bias:

This page is unnecessary as material for this page has already been discussed at length on Matty Healy's page. This should be deleted / redirected to The Adam Friedland Show instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BiasedBased ( talkcontribs) 03:51, 17 July 2023 (UTC)BiasedBased ( talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

I would like to express my amazement that in six days, no other editors from the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matty Healy (2nd nomination) or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ross MacDonald discussions have chirped in on this. (I'm not planning on pinging anyone, as that would be WP:CANVASSING, although I see that 119.94.172.56 has done just that.) The then-bloated Background section I included due to the wealth of "what is the Matty Healy controversy" style articles that came out in May such as [39] [40] [41], though I suppose it is already covered in the parent article, and the Banks section is well within scope as a reliably sourced direct response to Healy's comments on the controversy. To expand upon the above, I would like to point out to the closer of this nomination the following:
  1. that purported bias is a surmountable problem and therefore not a reason for deletion,
  2. that WP:ATTACK does not apply here as all content requiring reliable sources has them (i.e., not the WP:LEDE or MOS:PLOT - although I'd really like to see better sourcing for what's left of the Background section),
  3. that plots are supposed to be primary sourced per WP:PLOTCITE (which is what I meant by "what I heard"), and
  4. that with five months of coverage, this article makes mincemeat of WP:GNG.
WP:DUE "requires that mainspace articles and pages fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in those sources", and I am satisfied that I have done so.-- Laun chba ller 12:33, 23 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete / Merge: This does not need its own page per WP:NOPAGE as this page is mere WP:NPOVFACT-- "an attempt to evade the neutrality policy by creating a new article about a subject that is already treated in an article, often to avoid or highlight negative or positive viewpoints or facts. POV forks are not permitted on Wikipedia."
The page's original title before move was Matty Healy's appearance on The Adam Friedland Show The page move with the podcast title can be argued as another evasion of WP:NPOVFACT given its content. The content of the page has already been covered in Matty Healy's page (after disputes, and eventual consensus by several editors), as well as the podcast's page.
*Evidence of content forking to evade neutrality *
(1) The creator of this page has a history of editing Healy's page repeatedly about the podcast episode like here and here among a few, and even listed all of the things Healy has apparently been accused in the page's lede despite claims not being reflected with WP:NPOV in the body.
(2) Violates WP:NOTSCANDAL / WP:NOTOPINION, giving undue weight and rehash upon rehash of the topic. A cherry-picked list of Healy's perceived past indiscretions included by the creator to serve as "Background" section of this page even though sources cited do not relate it to the podcast is an attempt to establish notability and highlight negative viewpoints. Pages should be WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTDIARY with the page creator having also done this in Healy's page previously like here. This page is a patchwork very loosely sewn together to appear notable in itself.
(3) Page also does not pass WP:NOTESSAY especially after a particular mass revert by the page creator after another editor's cleanup with an Edit Summary stating "Sorry, but I know what I heard." despite The Guardian explicitly saying: "It’s worth noting that a lot of fans are incorrectly attributing a lot of the co-hosts’ comments to Healy."

  • MERGE OR DELETE Using WP:DEL-REASON, there are three reasons why this page should be deleted (tho, personally merging it with the podcast would suffice).
One, this is basically an WP:ATTACK page based on the point of view it was written, content (full of editorialising, original research, sourcing bias, indiscriminate inclusion of irrelevant incidents to put the subject in a worse light), and intolerance of the creator in revisions by other users as pointed above. The tone has already been an issue on Matty Healy's page for so long (one editor was even named "I Hate Matty Healy" lol), and his page just recently became stable WP:STABLE. Which leads me to...
Two, conveniently, after Healy's page reached its stable version after much content disputes and edit warring, this was created. This is simply content forking for WP:WEIGHT to what was already covered extensively in Healy's page.
Three, again, this is riddled with original research. Maxen Embry ( talk) 11:06, 18 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete due to the biased language and sources which put Friedland and Mullen in a worse light, per WP:WEIGHT, although I think adding a section dedicated to this episode under the Adam Friedland Show page wouldn't be too bad of an idea. ChessPiece21 ( talk) 13:47, 22 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as I'd like to hear from other editors whether or not this article could be seen as an attack page. I do know I've never seen 29,303 bytes written on ONE episode of a podcast series so it clearly is overly detailed in relation to its significance. The question is whether the bias that is argued is in the article is inherent in the article's existence or whether it can be corrected through editing.

Merge selectively to Matty Healy. Big POVFORK issues here. There shouldn't be a beat-by-beat description of the podcast episode.

In my BEFORE, I found no particular shortage of references on the nightlife and the sink hole. An occasional article addresses yet another topic. Hence my conclusions on what the road is mostly noted for. Elemimele maps some of that below. Note that I subscribe to WP:NOTINHERETED. If only one building or land use is discussed, it creates passing mentions and does not add to notability. Only if an article discusses many buildings or land uses along a road, the road turns into the actual focus of an article. Your response seems to imply that AFDISCLEANUP. It is not. Per WP:NEXIST, Earlham Road passes both the WP:GNG and WP:GEOROAD. gidonb ( talk) 21:11, 9 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, city streets are subject to GNG. I will also note that had the article been named B1108 road, it would have been summarily redirected away as a non-notable highway per Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/B roads in the United Kingdom, yet as a city street somehow the bar is lower (when it should be the other way around per GEOROAD). -- Rs chen 7754 19:55, 9 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, as the bus incident alone, which is supported by a ref and could be supported by any number more, was quite a major event in Norwich history, and keeps coming up (or down!) in the news [42], as well as scholarly write-up. [43] I'd note too that the road is lined by notable places, for example the Plantation Garden, Norwich, whose chalk-quarry origins explain how the bus came to disappear so dramatically, the Earlham Road Cemetery, Norwich, the Catholic cathedral, Earlham Hall and the University. If nothing else, this road article provides a very useful "list" article allowing navigation of a whole set of undisputedly notable locations along its length, but it also puts them in context. Of course other things have happened there too, a well-known bust-up between developers and tenants that at one stage looked like it might result in a change in the law, and was documented by a photographer. [44]; some of its historic buildings could be referenced to Pevsner if that would help (e.g. [45]. Earlham road was also the site of one of the city's historic gaols (the other was the castle), and has importance for the history of Jews in Norwich (note Chantry place is a modern square situated between Earlham road and the next major arterial round). [46] As roads go, this one has many centuries of documented history, archaeology, coherence and relevance as the spine of a major suburb of Norwich today; it's very far from a minor B-road. The article's deletion would be a sad loss; it can very easily be improved by sources. Elemimele ( talk) 20:51, 9 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    • Yes, but most of those have articles already. -- Rs chen 7754 20:53, 9 July 2023 (UTC) reply
      Exactly. When you put a load of buildings in a row, with access down the middle, it's a street. And notable streets tend to be those that link a lot of notable buildings... If none of the buildings, parks, cathedrals, universities etc. in Earlham road qualified for an article, the road itself would indeed just be a minor B-road leading out of a city. In fact, this is one of the very few streets in the UK that has its own entirely independent claim on notability, an event that it achieved with the aid solely of a bus, and without needing to rely on any buildings at all. There are very few roads that have eaten a substantial item of public transport and been remembered for it for nearly a quarter of a century. Give the poor road a chance, if you deny it its notabiliy this time round, who knows what it will have to do to the unfortunate residents of Norwich to get itself an article next time. Elemimele ( talk) 21:48, 9 July 2023 (UTC) reply
      Before I go on leave, i will break down the issues:
      • The article should exist because of the sinkhole incident. Should it? Do a search of wikipedia of sinkhole incidents, there is only one article i can find that has a page, Bayou Corne sinkhole. This page already has a notice to improve as there has been nothing updated since 2015. In fact no sustained proof on the article, and in reality it should be redirecred and merged into the Bayou Corne, Louisiana article. This has happened to other sinkhole incidents. The incident in Norwich, has sustained coverage but it should be in the Norwich page, as it is the locality of the incident or have its own page.
      • The article should exist as links together other notable areas. Well inherited notability is not allowed.
      • Secondly, The Cathedral is linked in the Norwich article, the cemetery should be linked to Norwich. The University and Park are in Earlham, not on Earlham Road (as the article points out!), which for some reason Earlham doesn't have a page, which is probably notable. The synagogue again is in Norwich so should linked in this article. Earlham Hall is in Earlham, again why no article. Golden Triangle is an area of Norwich, which is notable, but Earlham Road is the boundary of this area, is that notable? No, the article just needs link to Norwich. The Plantation Garden is already linked in on the Norwich page.
      So basically we have a road that isn't notable except for one incident, the notable locations along it are either linked to the area they are in, and we have a notable area of Norwich (and former civil parish) that the road is named after that doesn't have a page! There are more historically notable roads in Norwich that don't have articles, like Tombland that have not been written about. Davidstewartharvey ( talk) 06:28, 10 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. See proposal below Agree with User:Gidonb — the fact that a street has many notable buildings helps cement its own notability. A road is more than tarmac and pavement. As User:Elemimele points out the bus sink hole event makes the road notable. A recent source describes the changing nature of part of the road and feature points along it, https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/23637344.earlham-road-norwich-becoming-citys-top-food-spot/ There's history on the bridge crossing the River Yare [49] - admittedly a better source needs finding to verify the details.

  • Proposal. Keep but retitle the article "Earlham, Norfolk or Earlham, Norwich". This is the second time the article has been AfD'd. I acknowledge and take into account the concern expressed by the nominator and !delete votes. What struck me when searching for sources was surprise that no article had been written on Earlham. Earlham was an ancient and civil parish distinct from Norwich up until 1889 see https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10093790 There is content on Earlham's history and I believe the encyclopedia would be better served by having an article on Earlham the place rather than one restricted to Earlham Road. The opening paragraph and some of the text would need amending but the majority of content could be retained as it is still relevant to Earlham the place. I believe the retitled article would fall under WP:GEOLAND as a former legally, recognized populated place and notability isn't temporary WP:NTEMP.

I'd agree there's nothing wrong with writing an article about Earlham the historic parish, and it could blend into Earlham, the modern region of Norwich, but I personally don't know what determines the actual boundary of Earlham today, and almost by definition the Norwich end of Earlham road isn't Earlham (or wasn't in origin...) because it was historically the road out of Norwich that led to Earlham! The places where you'd hope for a definitive boundary seem to provide only a centre-point. [50] Elemimele ( talk) 19:46, 15 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Yes, there's probably too much of the road outside of the historic boundary of Earlham to make a good fit. Oh well, seemed initially like a decent compromise. Guess this article will have to stand or fall as is. Thanks for replying and Gidonb. Rupples ( talk) 21:44, 15 July 2023 (UTC) reply

I found two strong and two week sources in a cursory search. Maybe salvage that part into Norwich and scrap the rest? Last1in ( talk) 20:25, 16 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, seems to pass the GNG. While searching "Earlham Road" leaves one drowning in mundanities, searching for "Earlham Road" + "tram" yields considerably more interesting results. In particular this (paywalled) paper published in Engineering Geology has some very interesting background on the history of subsidence incidents along Earlham Road, neatly putting the bus incident into context. And this conservation area appraisal contains a wealth of historical information -- and even if the report itself is rejected as potentially being in the pocket of Big Road, it provides abundant starting points for further searches. This issue of Norfolk Archeology appears to have some in-depth discussion of the tunnels under Earlham Road that were re-discovered in 1823. All of these are well above the WP:SIGCOV threshold, covering the subject directly and in detail. In sum, there seems to be ample historical material to work with here. -- Visviva ( talk) 03:28, 19 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    The Conservation Appraisal is a perfect example of why Earlham Road is not notable. The report is for Heigham Grove, not Earlham Road. This is a suburb of Norwich, again without a wiki article which is notable. In fact this book [51] on the parish of St Giles has no mention of the road, but describes how the hamlet of Heigham Grove grew to encompass the parish (from 1886). As per the previous arguments, the road isn't notable, but the suburbs of Norwich are, and so these articles should be created. Davidstewartharvey ( talk) 05:25, 19 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, without prejudice. (Disclaimer: Referred to dispute from RFC bot on subject article's talk page) I do think that there is an intent to promote, and I do see that there is reasonable cause for a close connection. He's not an iconic broadcaster on a global basis (like Joe Rogan) nor on a local basis (like Pittsburgh's Joe DeNardo); saying he could be in the future would be a WP:CRYSTALBALL violation. While anything is possible with him, we don't determine notability based on unconfirmed notions; rather, we wait until such figure becomes notable and then write.

    By saying he's not Joe Rogan is an WP:OSE argument. As you said "we don't determine notability based on unconfirmed notions", and that's true. We confirm notability based on reliable sources which are here by the way of the NY Times, Politico, and Variety, also local news from America's largest metropolitan area and niche sources confirm. If there's evidence to promote, then present it. Fodient ( talk) 02:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    Such sources mention him in passing and little have SIGCOV. I don't think that my usage of Rogan and DeNardo constitutes as an OSE argument. The examples provided in OSE are along the lines of We do not have an article on y, so we should not have an article on this; not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that Morano is not like Rogan where there are in-depth sources without affiliation to the subject. The NY Times article you bring up mentions him only ONCE, and in passing just for being the chair of some local board. I have qualified my statement of intent to promote with "I think"; since I am not god of the universe, I cannot know everybody's intentions, but I do get a gut feeling in my stomach based on previous debates that there is some intent to promote based on previous deletion. I qualify my statements when I am not 100% sure that something is the case, and it is important that you recognize such.

    First section: Frank Morano is an American radio personality, radio, television and film producer, and political operative. He currently hosts the syndicated talk radio program The Other Side of Midnight from Red Apple Media's flagship station 770 AM WABC. Right out of his biography on WABC website. Not the best source but reliable enough to confirm his current employment.

    Radio host section: Starting in 2011, Frank Morano hosted Morano in the Morning on 970AM The Answer. In 2020, he began hosting The Other Side of Midnight overnights on WABC. The show has since been syndicated The source states he went to WABC in 2020. We know thats the name of his program. I just added a source stating his program is syndicated.

    Producer section: As a producer, Frank Morano has mostly worked in talk radio. He, produced programs on 770 AM WABC and 970 AM The Answer. The hosts of these programs included Joe Piscopo, Curtis Sliwa, and John Catsimatidis. On Newsmax, Morano was the managing editor for Liquid Lunch and a producer for Vito Fossella's Table Talk. He served as a producer for the 2017 Netflix documentary Get Me Roger Stone. I can remove As a producer, Frank Morano has mostly worked in talk radio., maybe its WP: OR but that seemed obvious based on the ratio from source. Newsmax's website listed him as managing editor for that program but that source was removed, probably incorrectly.

    Political section Frank Morano is a Staten Island resident that has been involved in local politics. Morano is currently the board chair for Staten Island Community Board 3. Morano was originally registered with the Independence Party of New York. He resigned from the Independence Party in 2010 after the party leadership refused to grant a Wilson Pakula to Republican State Assembly candidate Nicole Malliotakis. He went on to serve in a leadership role for New York State third parties with ballot access Reform Party and SAM Party. Everyone of those sources confirms everything in that section.

    Personal life Frank Morano is married to Rachel O'Brien. Vincent Ignizio was his best man, and their wedding was attended by Nicole Malliotakis, John Catsimatidis, John Gotti Jr., Joe Piscopo, Carol Alt, Betsy McCaughey, James Oddo, Joe Borelli, Michael Cusick, Ronald Castorina, Dan Donovan, Fred Cerullo, Vincent Gentile, Sal Albanese, Robert Auth.

    He is the subject of articles. Additionally multiple news outlets have reached out to him for quote or felt his opinion was significant enough to be quoted in their news article.

    What articles? The ones that are online and are from reliable sources which are presently cited in the article mention him once in passing, which doesn't meet our notability standards. The fact he's in the NYC area doesn't matter when it comes to notability; if that were the case every person from NYC would be notable and we'd be flooded with database-entry like articles which are solely justified per OSE matters.

    Being from NYC is a factor. A media personality in huge market is going to be more notable than a media personality in a small market, and when you add in syndication the notability increases. No one is saying that merely being from NYC makes you notable. Reference 2, 3, 9 and 13 are about the subject. Reference 11, 12 have him significantly mentioned - the politico article mentions his name thirteen times. Reference 4 has a notable publication demonstrating his rankings. Reference 5 and 6 are reliable sources that amplify his producer credits. Reference 7 and 8 provide reliable sources that indicate his community service. Although he isn't affiliated with one of the two major parties, the totality of the references indicate that the subject is a major local political figure in NYC third party politics WP:Politician. Fodient ( talk) 19:10, 26 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    Hosting a radio show which is only confined to one metro doesn't make such person notable. Morano did not make the same impact as a mayor or as a celebrity. Reference 13 is WP:TRIVIA.

  • Delete. I am a regular listener to this show as I work odd hours. This article was started by fans when Frank Morano complained for a significant period one morning he didn't have a Wikipedia page. It did not originate from an organic interest in him as a public figure. There is currently an active attempt on Facebook in his fan group to have people visit and "vote" to keep this page, no doubt to inflate his ego.

But he’s a team owner with a storied history in the sport? I understand your take on the matter absolutely but he’s the key figure to 2 of the top development programs in stock car racing currently and is a team owner, what’s the difference in him and other team owners with wiki pages? He just happens to not currently own a team, and if most crew chiefs like Chris Gabehart can have Wikipedia pages I see no reason a team owner can’t have one also, thank you for your time.
