  • Soft Delete or Keep Official Disney+ Hotstar Ott Website [3] and more coverage in Tamil language, show is still airing. There may be important updates in the future.-- P.Karthik.95 ( talk) 09:50, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Like above, AfD, there is little coverage, and this article extensively relies on routine promotional coverage.
    • Source 1 is promotional coverage which only describes the promotional video posted on YouTube
    • Source 2 is routine tabloid promotional coverage on the first season ending, and just contains various frames of this as well as a sentence with one screenshot of the new season
    • Source 3 is routine tabloid coverage that only summarises the promotional video posted on YouTube
    • Source 4 is a timeline of Bigg Boss events, only connection is that ER2's cast participated in this
    • Source 5 is a link to the promo on YouTube
    • Source 6 is on Bigg Boss's ending, and does not mention ER2 in any way
    This reply links to the show's page on Hotstar, which is not a source and none of this proves how ER2 is notable for Wikipedia. Karnataka ( talk) 15:21, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Soft Delete - there is somewhat significant coverage about the show, however most of it is just gossip i'm afraid - @ P.Karthik.95 look up eeramana rojavey 2 in tamil, see what you can find but i only found one article that bears relevance. @ Karnataka - Disney+ Hotstar is primary sourcing, that's only one source though so your point stands. Would consider changing my vote to Keep if you can find sufficient sourcing, i've tried but only found one source. Aspiringeditor1 ( talk) 21:37, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Aspiringeditor1 my point is to find notability for the topic. The Hotstar page will not prove notability because every show produced by Hotstar will be there, and it is a primary source so will not fit the notability guideline anyways. I put it in tamil and switched to news section [4], the top results are news on the cast and routine updates on 'today episodes'. Karnataka ( talk) 21:53, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:GNG and WP:WRITER. The article relies exclusively upon primary sources and sources that are connected to Wolfmoor (only sources independent of the subject of the article can be used to establish notability). All information in this article is sourced from Wolfmoor's Tweets, blog and 'About the Author'. The article is based entirely on statements made by Wolfmoor and Wolfmoor's publishers. I was unable to find any good independent sources, making meaningful improvement to this article impossible. Baronet13 ( talk) 23:25, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep There is plenty of articles supporting GNG.
As the article mentions, the Author has changed their name in 2019 and most of their work from before then is attributed to their older name.
[5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]
I believe the nomination may have missed in WP:BEFORE of the authors prior name under which most work is published, so the nomination may fall under WP:SNOWBALL. Raladic ( talk) 05:03, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply
None of these are significant coverage in a secondary source. The first one is an interview (which is a primary source and cannot be used to establish notability). The fourth is already cited in the article and is just a list (not coverage). The third and fifth are also just lists and are not coverage. The second only has a sentence about Wolfmoor, and the sixth has only a short paragraph. Nothing here proves notability. Baronet13 ( talk) 21:23, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply
These are standard reviews for Publishers Weekly and Kirkus and absolutely prove notability. In fact, reviews such as these are the gold standard for proving notability for author articles on Wikipedia. Wolfmoor has also been a multi-time nominee for the Locus Award, so there's the 3 award finalists spots you asked for. Plus there is also far more coverage of Wolfmoor and their work out there including in genre industry publications such as this spotlight interview in Lightspeed Magazine and reviews in Locus Magazine (see 1, 2, 3 but there are many more) and Tangent Online (see 1, 2 , 3 but again there are many more). The sum total of all this is Wolfmoor meets notability guidelines. -- SouthernNights ( talk) 12:00, 13 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Interviews are primary sources and can't be used to establish notability. As for the others, most have only a single paragraph, many only a single sentence, referencing Wolfomoor's work. They are just general descriptions and impressions, not the sort of detailed and in-depth analysis that would qualify as significant coverage. These sources do not satisfy notability requirements. Baronet13 ( talk) 06:02, 14 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Reviews are can be used to determine the notability of creative professionals such as authors. Per WP:POET, notability can be established if a creative professional has "won significant critical attention," which these reviews establish. But on top of that Wolfmoor has been a finalist for three different major awards in their genre, meaning they also meet that notability criteria.-- SouthernNights ( talk) 12:45, 14 June 2023 (UTC) reply
WP:POET isn't relevant because Wolfmoor is not a poet. The issue isn't whether or not reviews can be used to determine notability, it's whether or not the particular sources you listed are 'significant coverage.' Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not clearly define 'significant coverage', describing it only as addressing 'the topic directly and in detail'. I don't think it's possible to cover a book (or anything else) in detail is a single paragraph or less, and as a result would not consider short reviews and brief overviews to be significant coverage. Baronet13 ( talk) 02:47, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Baronet13: As an FYI, WP:POET is merely a redirect pointing to the notability guidelines for creative professionals. If you click on it you'll see it applies to all types of creative professionals, including authors. As for your belief that it's not possible to cover a book in a single paragraph, that's merely your belief. I disagree, especially when the reviews are in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus.-- SouthernNights ( talk) 20:09, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Based on the links provided by SouthernNights I'd say a Weak Keep but would strongly suggest that someone who is familiar with the author actually improve the article as it stands.

The subject is non-notable. The text doesn't indicate any major gallery shows, there are no citations for the one minor show, and the majority of the citations are from publications that aren't notable enough to have Wikipedia pages themselves.

    Sergecross73, I don't think saying I have exceedingly bad judgement was necessary. I probably could have checked a little harder, I'm aware of that now, but I'm not an active editor at AfD, and considering we've now got to a level where my judgement is being unnecessarily attacked here, that is completely irrelevant to the article at hand, that's probably for good reason.

As a mid-level judge and a former city council member, I do not believe this person meets the criteria set out under GNG or Wikipedia:Politician. Local politicians and judges are neither inherently notable or inherently not notable. There is nothing in coverage found on Google or in newspaper searches that would put Judge Mentel into "notability".

Soft Delete: These guidelines may be helpful, specifically Such judges are not inherently notable, but holding such a position is strong evidence of notability that can be established by other indicia of notability. In particular, state courts of appeals judges who serve for a comparatively long time, who preside over important cases, or whose opinions are often cited by higher courts in the state, by federal courts, or by state courts in other states, are highly likely to be notable.

List of schools in Sejong City

I'm not seeing why we need an exhaustive list of schools for this city. The topic seems to be a violation of WP:NOTDIR Wikipedia is not a directory of everything in the universe that exists or has existed. Also this policy discourages simple listings without contextual information showing encyclopaedic merit. List also fails WP:LISTN due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV about this group of schools as a group. The local government website for Sejong is not an acceptable source as it's clearly not independent of the subject. This article only seems to have two notable schools (to be honest, even those two schools might be non-notable) so the list is not a useful index. Similar case to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of high schools in Asunción, Paraguay and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of schools in Riobamba among many others.

  • Comment: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Schools explains why we have such exhaustive lists: "Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability usually get merged or redirected to [...] the lowest level locality (elsewhere or where there is no governing body)." The local website of Sejong is an acceptable source to prove the school exists, and South Korean municipal websites document very well which schools exist in the country. Now does this mean the school has notability? No. The solution would be to redirect the school name to Sejong City. However this then requires the article "Sejong City" to carry the name of the school (so the redirect can exist). However if there are a large number of schools, a daughter article "List of schools in Sejong City" would be created to retain the information.
  • Whether to keep this list or not depends on how many schools Sejong City has. Can the city article comfortably keep the list of schools, or does it need a separate article? I've listed schools for Japanese municipalities and found ways to compress the lists using "div col", so I think I might be able to compress the lists of schools in the article Sejong City
  • WhisperToMe ( talk) 16:09, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
I understand the logic of those redirects being created as an alternative to an article although I do note that a lot of recent similar AfDs to this one have concluded in 'delete' which means that the consensus might be changing. My other concern is that I would still say that NOTDIR applies to a list of non-notable schools and I'm struggling to see why we find a directory list of schools acceptable, whether that be as part of the city article or as its own article, yet find directory lists of just about everything else to be unacceptable. I mean it wasn't that long ago that secondary schools were presumed to be notable enough for a stand-alone article without exception so maybe this needs looking at from scratch as it seems contradictory. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:03, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
One aspect is that many users wanted Wikipedia to function as a gazeteer of some sort noting major geographic sites, of which schools (especially government-operated schools) are one of them. As all incorporated municipalities are to have articles, there is an expectation of knowing about their respectively major functional sites like libraries, post offices, fire stations, and schools (especially government-run schools). Now, I notice in one of the AFDs the users wanted the schools being "discussed as a group or set in multiple, reliable secondary sources". I can check with South Korean editors if there are sources about the development of schools in Sejong City (which is a planned city set to be the administrative heart of South Korea).

This probably needs a broader discussion.

This may warrant an article in the future, but as of now, we have an article on a valet who is only known to the public because he was charged a few days ago. He hasn't and may not be convicted. We're getting into "do no harm" territory as far as BLP, which is fairly sacred. If it helps, I can throw in some other letters like WP:BLP1E and WP:CRIME.

If we have an infobox that says "Known for: being associated with someone" we're on shaky ground. GMG talk 12:44, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

I respectfully disagree. As of today, Nauta is the co-defendant of the first former president of the United States to be charged with a federal crime. That's a major role in a major event in the history of the United States. His role in this event is well documented.
Perhaps in the near future he will be a witness for the prosecution instead of a co-defendant, but that won't lessen his significance at all.

    I agree. It is critical to keep Waltine "Walt" Nauta's entry on Wikipedia. Trump's case is historical. Nauta is a party to the former president's indictment, having played an instrumental role in endangering America's national security aside from Mr. Trump himself and others in the know who have yet to be revealed. The fact that he was a member of our armed forces makes it all the worse and even more relevant at the same time. Please, keep Nauta's entry on Wikipedia and update the article as needed to reflect the latest developments as the case unfolds.

If mere "association" isn't valid reason for inclusion, why leave the entry for Morton Sobell? (Extreme analogy. Or is it?) Johannes der Taucher ( talk)
  • Keep You cited WP:BLP1E, which says we should not have an article when each of three conditions is met:
  • You say you can "throw in some other letters". Let's also look at WP:CRIMINAL: the criminal or victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies
    • 1. The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities;[10] or I guess the victim of this crime is the U.S. as a whole, so this doesn't fit.
    • 2. The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Yeah Donald Trump is alleged to have stored classified secrets in a bathroom and a ballroom stage, and Nauta is alleged to have helped move the boxes and apparently lied to the FBI in the process. The motivation for the crime and the execution of the crime are unusual, and this has become a well-documented historical event that will get more documentation as we get to a trial. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 15:03, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
      • A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person...Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured.
        I'm not sure I expect this will actually be deleted, because everything that touches Trump gets seven articles and four sidebar templates. But we're not supposed to be making articles based on what sources we feel will exist in the future, and we're supposed to be exercising the utmost caution with living people, especially living people who are only known for being connected with a crime for which they have not been convicted.

His lack of notoriety but role potentially facilitating the president to commit crimes is precisely why we need a curated article on him. He is now a public figure, like it or not. He is now and will always be noteworthy even if either/both are found not guilty or plead out in the future because Trump and his name will be tied together and the first thing I did reading the indictment today was look up the article on Wikipedia and thank goodness you hadn't deleted it yet.

Comment: It may seem silly at first to you but it seems to me the article is referencing issues further from the mere fact that some nominal formal relations exist.

Comment (part 2): After expanding the article with further 18 references, many of which with in depth coverage I believe that comparison with Equatorial Guinea–Kosovo relations is inadequate one and probably even a false balanced approach. It would in fact be much more similar to the Georgia–Kiribati relations (maybe even Abkhazia–Vanuatu relations or Abkhazia–Tuvalu relations) case showing how in a globalized world some important links and relations (based on specific interest) between far away peripheral and semi-peripheral countries may develop.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 08:33, 27 May 2023 (UTC) reply
I'm sorry, but saying that the countries "collaborate" through an embassy in Tokio is just adding to the meaninglessness of this article. A blurb on the ministry of foreign affairs website does not constitute significant coverage of this "collaboration", most obviously because it's not a secondary source nor is it independent from the article subject.

Well, I understand that you may have a strong opinion that this is some silly and needless topic but once you stop laughing maybe take a look at other references in this article as well (the one you selected in no random way is obviously not independent but is neither stating anything controversial or analytical). Some of them are in depth independent sources which should be evaluated without strong preconceptions. That is all I expect and I believe people who get involved will be willing to do exactly that.

Which ones are in depth? Most of the reference section seems to be news coverage, at least I didn't notice much else. I combed through and saw nspm.rs which sounded like it could be an in-depth journal, but the article linked is from their 'chronicle' section and it seems to basically repeat a short press release. There's a handful of sources that are referenced more than once, an ABC article that quotes two academics from Macquarie University to explain, and an RTS article that seems to explicitly just carry a Tanjug wire article. This isn't about preconceptions, it's about the spirit and letter of WP:V. If the preponderance of coverage is about practically nothing, there's practically no reason to have an encyclopedia article about it. -- Joy ( talk) 09:20, 28 May 2023 (UTC) reply
It's about a small Pacific island nation with 4-5 embassies in total around the world which since 2018 managed to have two official heads of states meetings (Belgrade and New York), multiple high officials meetings (Belgrade, New York, Palau), clearly defined areas of interest in cooperation (climate, Kosovo), certain interest by USA and Russia in this relations, and bilateral agreements already signed or announced. There is also some precedence with certain role Yugoslavia played in UN's decolonisation efforts. All in all, this may be the best covered article on Palau's bilateral relations and I do believe that despite how small that state is their bilateral relations may be notable. Also, each of this requires significantly larger efforts by Palauan diplomacy to achieve than it would for any major state so even some simple meeting is hardly business as usual. Everything listed is properly referenced in multiple independent media sources (some of them with very sensationalist titles such as No smaller country no bigger friends) from Serbia and other countries. There is obvious media interest in this specific relations due to its linkage to Kosovo issue. It may seem to you equal to nonexistent relations between Kosovo and Equatorial Guinea but in reality it is not. It is also very much different than some hypothetical Serbia–Tonga relations since in this case both sides showed clear commitment to their cooperation (I shall not say collaboration I guess).-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 09:57, 28 May 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Despite the commendable effort to expand the article, there just isn't WP:SIGCOV in independent, reliable sources. Yes the article cites some sources that mention state visits and the like, but there's nothing that actually covers the topic of Palau–Serbia relations in any sort of depth. Yilloslime ( talk) 04:29, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Comment: there are multiple independent sources which I quoted in the article doing exactly what. Some of them addressing explicitly the beginning of bilateral relations for example. Also, sources dealing with bilateral meetings between the two countries are certainly a part of the topic. I would recommend everyone else to take a look at the reference list before assuming that the statement above is correct.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 06:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Comment (part 2): also, since there is concern over the article currently under discussion should we probably also nominate most of the other articles in the Template:Foreign relations of Palau to check their inclusion? I think it would be shame to delete them all but at least it would tell us something about our policies if that would be the result. Personally, I would not like to do it myself at this time to avoid any disruption of the current procedure yet I am of course very much interested in equal treatment of topics on which I worked/am interested in to any other topic in this category.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 07:19, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: meets WP:HEY now, in my opinion. I think it's reasonable that articles on bilateral relations consist mostly of news coverage because they are supposed to cover various events i.e. relations between the two countries. Despite establishing relations four and a quarter years ago, news coverage seems WP:SUSTAINED enough, comes from several notable newspapers independent of the subject, nearly all are entirely dedicated to Serbia and Palau (i.e. WP:SIGCOV). 5~6 of 28 references come from obvious primary sources (Ministry / National Assembly / The Office of the President / Socialist Party / UNESCO?) and I think that's not enough to discredit the entire article. Which sources aren't reliable among the rest? Palau seems to punch above its weight for what it is, and topics from underrepresented regions should be given more consideration before jumping to 'delete' voting. – Vipz ( talk) 12:40, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    Let's not beat around the bush here - the topic area of "Serbia vs. Kosovo" is hardly an underrepresented one. Does it warrant a 'bilateral relations' article for each of the offshoots? -- Joy ( talk) 18:21, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    Not to beat around bushes, the importance of Kosovo in the initial development of those relations is explicitly stated (at least on Serbian side it was a primary motivation, doesn't seem like that on Palau's side). Saying that their relations are ONLY about Kosovo issue is original research if there is no reliable source stating it without other reliable sources challenging it.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 20:40, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    But that's the thing - an encyclopedia needs to describe the real world. What's happening in the real world is a bunch of politicians occasionally talking. If our standard for reality is that, well, we might as well just give up on WP:AT and make a fresh article for each new press release :) This is not supposed to be WikiNews. -- Joy ( talk) 09:44, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    I don't know, maybe, but in this case we should split this article into multiple articles on 2-3 meetings, different policy areas, Yugoslavia in UN's body, shared initiative at UNESCO... but you are right, it may be too much. What is bringing it all together that it is about relations between Palau and Serbia in its different aspects and with different motivation.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 14:20, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply
To add, I believe that the coverage is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL and WP:ROUTINE since it is essentially inherited by country X being in the United Nations. Though I am hinging a little bit to change my vote since the updated sources do satisfy the basic notability guideline. 2001:48F8:3004:FC4:D480:5FD5:9310:3BA4 ( talk) 04:45, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply
In small countries of the Global South many initiatives which may be routine for major powers are in fact very important. For example, newly independent states without hard power, use summitry and ceremonies as an important tool. This fact is widely recognised in relevant literature (I can attach some references if needed but everyone may just Google it). They may be in the same category but will nevertheless be events of different magnitude for parties involved (e.g. person in Iceland speaking Icelandic and person in Paraguay speaking Icelandic, both in the same category of Icelandic speakers but the second one may be more notable). State visit from Hungary to Serbia is therefore very unexceptional, but state visit from Palau is certainly not.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 08:25, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. It is clear that there is RS here on Palu-Serbia, such as here, but it seems like a 1-event (or topic) category. Why don't we integrate these bilateral single-topic relations (which go back and forward over time, so they are strung out and are less like events), into a single article on Pacific Islands-Serbia relations (or other sensible groupings)? I have sympathy that disparate articles with small countries over the same topic will be too hard to manage/keep updated. Better to aggregate imho, or as time goes by, this article will fall into disrepair. Aszx5000 ( talk) 09:48, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Yes, it is a good idea to "aggregate" into more substantive topic areas if there is more "aggregate" RS on the topic; makes for a more stable article long-term (i.e. borderline cases have a habit of returning again to AfD). Aszx5000 ( talk) 14:17, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: a lot of work has clearly gone into the article, but I think it's still fundamentally WP:SYNTH: to stand as an article in its own right, it shouldn't be the only work in print or publication with its topic area. There are lots of sources cited for individual aspects of the relationship between Palau and Serbia, but unless multiple reliable secondary sources have written on that relationship as a whole, I don't think we can have an article on it. With that said, the proposal for an aggregated article may be able to clear that hurdle, if the sources exist. Another option might be for a list article? UndercoverClassicist ( talk) 15:27, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: sources should provide non-incidental coverage of the topic but the topic does not have to be the primary subject of the source. That being said, multiple quoted sources address the relationship in general, some even as a primary topic stated in the title (The beginning of relations between Palau and Serbia for example). Aspects of bilateral relations are certainly part of the topic and better suited for this than for any other article. Of course, the idea to consider other alternatives to deletion is interesting since this article certainly contains important encyclopedic information of interest for some readers.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 15:50, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply

    @ QuicoleJR it is technically true that the article no longer talk only about the diplomatic exchanges from 2018 and 2019 about Kosovo, it now has a paragraph about an event from 2022 at UNESCO, right? It seems to describe something happening with eight other countries. I thought these were about bilateral relations, not multilateral relations? What is the significant coverage of Serbia-Palau relations in https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000381043? It's a 5 page PDF that mentions the word Serbia one time in the summary. And how is this source independent of the subject, if these are member countries of the same organization? -- Joy ( talk) 17:15, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    If I may add to this technical information that it also deals with Our Ocean Conference (funding and subsequent participation), multiple meetings which included public diplomacy, reactions by other stakeholders and historical Yugoslav involvement (where there are most probably multiple primary and maybe some secondary sources still not digitalized or easily available). But sure, one of the sources in UNESCO's document jointly drafted and proposed as a common position by 10 countries two of which are Serbia and Palau- I don't see how it is not related to their bilateral relations, after all we often explicitly say something like "both countries are members of NATO, EU etc". It seems to me that there is nothing very controversial in the way this particular source was used, just as a source of some non-interpretative fact (for example, it may be very different to use some institution's website to A) reference their address or B) state that they are leaders in the field--- and here, the fact that it is a common position of 10 countries at UNESCO may even provide additional RS quality). If I am wrong the source maybe should be censored. But more importantly, my understanding is that some relevant number of sources must be RS (and other sources were in fact indicated by other users, not this one which you selected here) and that the fact that one or X number of other sources are maybe not up to that standard does not undermine those that are RS. Probably very often our sources are of different quality and we can't always ensure that all of them are A+ but as long as they are reliable and decent sources we may be in a position to work with them.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 20:27, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Yes. The main issue does the volume and quality of these mentions strongly support the topic as an article, or is it just an assortment of mentions. If an average English reader reads the article, are they going to conclude "ah, yes, these two nations engage in relations that I now understand", or are they going to conclude "wait, what? all that these two nations have done together is this, and I spent all this time clicking through references that were essentially clickbait?" -- Joy ( talk) 14:14, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    That is a fair point and my impression is that they will certainly have something to learn about this notable relation (even if they may be more about big ambitions which may not all materialise and motivated by some specific circumstances). On the other hand my strong impression is that some average English reader will in fact probably have some strong pre-assumptions that there are probably no any notable relations between Palau and Serbia so if they are interested in foreign relations of each one of them may learn something counterintuitive and very useful they potentially didn't know before. I think you had some similar pre-assumptions when initially you stated that Palau Serbia relations are equally silly to article on non-existent relations between Kosovo and Equatorial Guinea (now deleted) that actually simply stated that there are no relations. Now you assume that it is all just about Kosovo (that is probably why you included this discussion into Kosovo deletion discussions section as well although I don't necessarily think it is totally related) but references clearly show that it is not despite strong initial importance of this case. I think freeing ourselves from such pre-assumptions may help us evaluate this case in a better way. Just imagine you have to evaluate article with similar engagements and references between let's say Latvia–Lithuania relations or Moldova–Slovenia relations where pre-assumption would probably be opposite.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 16:07, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep.

I am not seeing the sources required for the title to pass WP:GNG. Kotaku is the only publication that mentioned it in a detailed manner, while Adventure Gamers is just an announcement posting. Well Played is not mentioned in WP:VG/S, others are unreliable.

    Comment As the article creator, no resistance to deletion for GNG. I've taken a second look for sources and sadly this does seem to fall short of other sources of major coverage. I dont think Well Played is a particularly strong source, but would be interested what the convention is for assessing notability of coverage by websites not covered under WP:VG/S for future reference.
    ly the Vrxces ( talk) 22:10, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    Well basically if the notability hinges on an unclear source, you can post the source on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Sources and then ask for feedback on whether it is reliable prior to making the article.
    In this case I still don't think it would be notable even if Well Played is reliable. However, given that the site describes itself as "a collective of gamers" rather than a true publication, I have serious doubts that it is. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 04:05, 26 May 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Indiegamesplus is Indiegames, it's just a site rename after the website no longer had UBM. As for the interview, this is an example of an interview as a secondary source, posted on a reliable website by an independent author. Finally, Kotaku Australia is its own separate staff, so being the same website doesn't really matter, since I don't imagine a coordinated campaign occurred to get both branches to talk about it. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk) 15:23, 26 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    The question is: is the independent IndieGamesPlus still reliable after splitting from its owner? I don't think that's just an open and shut case for its reliability. I also don't think it's provable that Kotaku AU's writer was not inspired in any way from seeing the earlier Kotaku review when writing the list.

    The staff of IG and IGP are the same, and multiple discussions occurred about the change where editors affirmed that having the same EIC and staff was enough that they didn't need to reevaluate it.

  • Keep the other AfDs were for non-sovereign entities. I don't see why these lists would be considered indiscriminate, either, which is important, because list articles don't need to meet GNG, making this an invalidly formed deletion argument. These were the sorts of articles you'd see in actual print encyclopaedias if I remember correctly. The "no scholarly research" argument doesn't apply to lists. I think you could make a very comprehensive argument that we could have say 2000s in Macau instead of individual years based on the amount of information available in each article, and I would support that merge, but deleting would remove information that's completely validly in the encyclopaedia for years per Wikipedia:Timeline.

    Macau is a non-sovereign city-sized administrative division of China, so I think the examples provided (Nagaland - Administrative Division) & (New York City - City) is appropriate. 33ABGirl ( talk) 09:26, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    I took a look at Wikipedia:Timeline, which seems to be primarily a style guide, without any specific standards on the notability required for the inclusion of a list. Likewise, the linked page Wikipedia:Timeline standards is also mostly a a style guide, without any standards on notability. 33ABGirl ( talk) 10:11, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Macau has the highest level of autonomy possible for a Chinese administrative region and is frequently referred to in the same breath as other sovereign countries, similar to Hong Kong. WP:LISTN is the valid guideline here, and Wikipedia:Timeline simply demonstrates that the "year in country" is a valid purpose as a result of: "Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability." This clearly fulfills a recognized informational purpose, even though I do admit it could be organised better. SportingFlyer T· C 11:02, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete hastily. There is simply no need for this breadth of detail on a small nation with no compelling need for subordinating historic information in this way, it's just unedited data. It's almost embarrassing when one comes across articles like this because it's unencyclopedic. What is the circumstance where a reader interested in Macau would need information laid out in this way?

    Guidelines

    Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists says: "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list."

    Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Specialized list articles says: " Timelines, using a standardized layout to present a chronological summary of a topic; examples include Timeline of architectural styles and Graphical timeline of the Big Bang. There is a special MediaWiki timeline syntax, but most Wikipedia timeline list articles do not presently use this recently introduced feature. For more information, see timeline."

    Analysis of the guidelines and sources

    The concept "timeline of Macau" has been discussed in independent reliable sources. Both Reuters and Macau Daily Times published articles with timelines of Macau. The information in these articles could be structured differently. SportingFlyer wrote, "I think you could make a very comprehensive argument that we could have say 2000s in Macau instead of individual years based on the amount of information available in each article". I think there is more than enough information in sources about Macau for there to be an article for each year in Macau. But as the individual year articles do not have much content yet, I think combining the articles is fine until enough information has been added to justify spinoffs. Per Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required and Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion, the articles should be kept with no prejudice against consolidation.

completely unnotable wiki. sourced to itself, poor quality sources, and trivial mentions. lettherebedarklight 晚安 07:41, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I've been editing WP for over 10 years. I took a quick look at WikiArt and can find no criteria for deletion present. The subject of the article is notable, since it was the topic of a serious article in the Smithsonian Magazine, one of its references. The article is written well, although a bit short, and contains references for its major points. There is no problem with WP:POV or WP:OR. On the other hand, the complaint that triggered this request for deletion is a brief, uncapitalized sentence that gives no examples to justify any of its four complaints. Because the complaint isn't reasonable as it currently stands, and because the topic relates to Ukraine, a country at war, my guess is that this deletion attempt is politically motivated. Again, that is just a guess, but it would explain its apparent attempt to vandalize WP. David Spector ( talk) 10:25, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

ref 5 No subject website ? moot ? moot ✘ No
ref 6 Yes Yes No here's the article which you (presumably) claim to count towards wikiart's notability. yet the only mention of it is this: To train their algorithm​, researchers used the more than 80, 000 images from WikiArt.org, one of the largest online collections of digital art. the rest is explaining the technology using wikiart's database. it's just mentioned as a database! ✘ No
ref 7 Yes Yes No or is it this one? still the same problem, the only mention of it is this: The other network is the “discriminator” network, which is trained on 81,500 images from the WikiArt database, spanning centuries of painting. that's it. ✘ No
ref 8 Yes ? No still the same problem! the only mention of it is this: For the training, they used 81,449 paintings by 1,119 artists in the publicly available WikiArt data set. nothing so far is significant coverage. ✘ No
ref 9 Yes ? No it's the same thing again and again. mere referrals to wikiart as a database, nothing more. ✘ No
ref 10 Yes ? No i think you know what i'm going to say already. ✘ No
ref 11 Yes Yes No only mention? trivial! The team collected a set of 15,000 portraits from online art encyclopedia WikiArt, spanning the 14th to the 19th century, and fed them into the GAN algorithm. ✘ No
ref 12 Yes Yes No big surprise, it's the same darn thing! To start, Cetinic and her colleagues analyzed more than 100,000 images from WikiArt. that's it. ✘ No

There are over 100 newspaper database matches for Dziewialtowski, but apart from a couple of paragraphs in the Aberdeen Evening Express for 26 November 1997, I couldn't find anything that amounts to more than brief, routine coverage of results.

  • Keep - going by newspaper coverage alone, you might have a point...but if we take Dziewialtowski as failing WP:GNG, I feel we will need to apply this to about half of all snooker player articles we have on Wikipedia. I'm happy to contribute to that process if that is the route we choose to take, but I believe it would be counter-productive to our aim of increasing the coverage of snooker here. I take the view that he meets the criteria for notability established here - [24] - having been ranked 68 at one point during a career lasting twelve years, and having been a quarter-finalist in a major tournament, the 1997 UK Championship. It's regrettable that there was only a passing mention of that achievement, but in my view, this should not detract from the fact that such an achievement - coupled with his albeit moderate career success - is sufficient for him to be notable here. Montgomery15 ( talk) 20:48, 27 May 2023 (UTC) reply
  • @ Montgomery15: I sympathise with your view but I don't think it accords with policy. Wikipedia:Notability (sports), which links to the page you mention, states that "The topic-specific notability guidelines described on this page do not replace the general notability guideline. They are intended only to stop an article from being quickly deleted when there is very strong reason to believe that significant, independent, non-routine, non-promotional secondary coverage from multiple reliable sources is available, given sufficient time to locate it." Near the top of the page that you link to, it says "Please note that the wikiproject advice below... should not be relied upon in the article deletion process, which is subject to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, not wikiproject recommendations." If you know of any other coverage in reliable sources about Dziewialtowski, such as in books or other media, please share the details. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 22:36, 27 May 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - My recollection was he got quite a bit of newspaper coverage at the time of the 1997 UK Championship and its aftermath. I suspect that this was largely as it was very unusual for a player at his ranking to get so far in a major tournament and there was a thought that he could be the next big Scottish player. While I would probably lean towards saying he is notable enough to have an article, I can see the case against as well. I would suggest if deletion is agreed to then a Redirect to 1997 UK Championship would be a good option as I do think people might search for him and this is undoubtedly the event that he is best known for (and why he would be searched for).

  • Keep, it's common practice to create separate pages for individual and team events to remove burden on the main page. See other SEA Games Badminton articles where singles, doubles, team all have distinct articles. You can find more sources when searching for this subject in NewspaperSG. This is a page related to Southeast Asian Games, where badminton is a hugely popular sport and the mass reporting was done on local newspapers, some of which are available at newspapersg.

  • Agreed on the logic, but the original article is so small no split is necessary. SportingFlyer T· C 15:32, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge with 1975 SEAP Games. The "parent" article is very short, so I think the split into different events is premature. Also, while the content of the article is currently very much on the line of WP:NOTDB I think it's plausible that more information could be found. The article has only been around for about 6 months now. Hopefully if the merge goes through, having that info moved out of an obscure sub-article will encourage searches for more in-depth sources.

  • Keep. You have got to be kidding me. It is not a made-up false thing (see photo at right, and see Commons category:Grand Mosque Allahabad). The article states it has 101 domes and capacity for 10,000 worshippers. It was under construction in 2018. Surely there is coverage of its construction, though perhaps not found by Google searching "Grand Mosque Allahabad", which is obviously not in Urdu and is perhaps not even its common name in English. Search "masjid Sindh" and other variations of placenames and "mosque". Here is one academic-type paper about it: Grand_Mosque_Allahabad_Kandyaro_5_april_1_corrected. There is a news report in OpIndia (a blacklisted site so my edit including the URL won't save) about a pretty horrible crime caught by CCTV (I believe in this mosque) "Pakistan: Maulvi rapes child reading Quran in mosque in Sindh province, caught on CCTV". User:BookishReader, your not liking the sources means you could tag the article, but opening an AFD is not called for without performing a decent wp:BEFORE effort. Given pretty obvious significance, if you haven't found significant coverage, you haven't searched enough. wp:AFDISNOTFORCLEANUP.

It's clearly verified, though, it's clearly mentioned in news reports to the point where WP:OR clearly doesn't apply, I can't search in languages that should clearly demonstrate notability, and a church of this importance elsewhere would be clearly notable.

List of Centralwings destinations (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

As was outlined at the 2018 RFC on lists of airline destinations and quoted in a recent related AFD, these are not suitable content for Wikipedia. As per the subsequent AN discussion, subsequent AFDs may or will be nominated in a orderly fashion provided they have a link to the RFC, and the closer of any AFD was to take the RFC into account in any closing decisions.

To briefly summarise, the articles on their own would fail WP:NOT, in particular WP:NOTCATALOG/ WP:NOTDIRECTORY. To outline and quote an argument in the linked related recent AFD mentioned in the first paragraph, WP:CORP would apply to articles dedicated to the products and services offered by a company. The airlines nominated on this list are also defunct (or have since closed down), and lack of (or zero) sourcing in nominated would pass that standard. The extremely limited coverage was found in only one of those articles ( List of Midwest Connect destinations), which largely came from the closed airline's website (now a defunct link) and is therefore not an independent source and would not pass WP:INDEPENDENT. All other nominated articles are largely unreferenced and clearly fail WP:V.

WP:BEFORE is not mandatory, however doing a brief research found only a Air Wales route map on a blog website, whilst looking for MexicaLink and Delta Express destinations largely returned results linking to mirror websites of Wikipedia and may be worth being a minor mention in the parent airline's articles ( Mexicana de Aviación and Delta Air Lines) under their history sections respectively.

I am open to other suggestions, but considering the listed airlines are defunct and the lack of available independent sources that may rescue those articles, for now I would recommend Delete as the nominator. Coastie43 ( talk) 03:19, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Not that it really matters, but NOTGUIDE doesn't apply here as this is not the sort of information that would ever appear in a guidebook.

    @ Kvng: I am not sure what part of the remainder of the article is helpful - all that is left is a single sentence and a list of books. I can find no secondary sources with which to establish notability, and the claims in the articles found in a Scholar search make such extraordinary claims that I don't believe there's enough sourcing to justify their inclusion per WP:REDFLAG. I suppose the article could be draftified, but I see no value in the article's current form. Tollens ( talk) 17:13, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Minimally, the value is that this is a remedy that exists and is discussed in sources and so is likely to be searched for by readers. I'd rather readers see a stub than nothing at all. Some of those readers will be curious, will search elsewhere and will come back and improve this article. That's how Wikipedia works. ~ Kvng ( talk) 17:19, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    I just don't see what sources could be used to improve the article. I can find exactly zero reliable secondary sources even mentioning the existence of the remedy, but WP:GNG states explicitly that "Sources" should be secondary sources. I too would rather readers see stubs than nothing at all, provided that it is possible to expand the article, but there is simply nothing I can find that would be appropriate to cite.

    If all of them had made a similar credible claim, they would absolutely be usable, but they instead all make different claims including but not limited to preventing fatigue, enhancing memory, eliminating insomnia, protecting the brain after a stroke, curing underactive bladder, preventing liver injury, reducing pain, preventing contact dermatitis, enhancing stamina, and improving circulation to the kidneys. It should be clear that if an effective remedy for all these things existed there would be more than a couple studies, and at the very least one reliable secondary source that has mentioned it. Tollens ( talk) 01:40, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply

    Ah - my mistake. Again, however, the conclusions they come to, even in that single source, are absurd. From their abstract's results section:

    In clinical studies, GJD has the various effectiveness in cardiovascular diseases, alcoholic hepatitis, mild dementia, anemia. Also experimental studies related to the GJD show a variety of effects, such as anti-oxidative activity, neuroprotective activity, hepatoprotective activity, anti-inflammatory activity, immunological activity, reproductive recovery activity with fewer side-effects.

IP, notability is not inherited (e.g. just because a video game is notable it doesn't mean that any of the characters are also notable.) Plus notability requires significant coverage in independent secondary sources, not primary ones. That means it needs to have coverage that isn't from the official IAC websites, but there's a lack of that coverage. -- Prodraxis talk contribs 01:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Strong delete – fails to meet notability guidelines and has received practically zero significant non-internal coverage CitizenKang414 ( talk) 23:38, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
I posted at the top of the discussion about only a fraction of the coverage. I can include many, many more articles, both current and from years past, if needed. I will include a copy of the posting from above, below. Also, several non-profit universities have hosted tournaments in recent years, including Princeton University. High schools and middle schools report on their participation (non-internally). If necessary, I can add more links to coverage. I am new to this and do not know if it was better to put the links at the top of the discussion or here. NAQT officially includes this as one of the bees they recognize, which can be found here.
There are numerous sources for news coverage of winners of the event. Some recent ones include this one from CBS News Pittsburgh, this one from the Houston Chronicle, this one from the Dayton Daily News, and this one from the Chicago Tribune. There are many more that could be listed, but these bees and bowls easily get as much coverage as any other ones. And they are recognized by other quizzing organizations. Santoslhelper ( talk) 00:38, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Having done even more cursory research, I can provide a longer list of articles, if needed. Also, the amount and kinds of reportage - in local and state newspapers and television stations - seems to be exactly in line with every other Quizbowl tournament - those hosted by or listed by NAQT and other state organizations. Why it would be this particular bee and bowl that is suggested for deletion is a bit confusing, given the others. Scripps and National Geographic (before it ended) had corporate sponsorship which naturally leads/led to more national coverage for them. Santoslhelper ( talk) 01:10, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete all My initial reaction was that these may need to be nominated individually, because the nom didn't explain they are all relatively recent events run by the same organisation, hence why they were grouped together, and I was prepared to try and keep these or at least make some sort of argument to spin off the AfDs. That's not needed, though. What's very clear upon review is that there's no independent secondary coverage of any of these articles - it's all routine local coverage of winners, citing the org's website, and a link to a Google Sheet. SportingFlyer T· C 21:11, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    But this appears to be the same kind coverage for all of the regular quizzing competitions at the middle school and high school level. Does that mean that Knowledge Bowl's and Commissioner's Academic Challenge's pages and other state bowl's and bee's pages should be deleted as well? None of the NAQT competitions receive the same coverage as Scripps. Theirs are all in line with the History Bee and Bowl competitions, but there is not a move to delete those pages. Why is this the only one, when local coverage of the events is what is generated for this kind of competition? Santoslhelper ( talk) 21:22, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    That doesn't matter for the purposes of this discussion - what matters is the sort of coverage the articles at this specific AfD receive. If other bees are basically sourced only to their own website, then they could probably be deleted as well. SportingFlyer T· C 21:25, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Just to be clear, I do not think any of these competitions' pages should be deleted. But if what is noted above - citing org's pages for winners and local coverage - is all that is required for deletion, then nothing but Scripps would survive. It seems more prudent to recognize that quiz bowl and bee competitions at the middle school and high school level are valid topics for inclusion, but that their individual tournaments are not likely to garner more than annual local and statewide coverage. But the aggregate of that coverage, year over year, and the number of participants, in the many thousands every year, make for something significant. Santoslhelper ( talk) 21:30, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    • That's not impossible. Wikipedia requires a topic to be notable before it can have a stand-alone article, and we define notability as being recognised by secondary sources. If the only sources we can use to create an article are WP:PRIMARY, then it's not notable enough. Unfortunately we also discount routine local news stories - none of the "local child wins bee" article are significant coverage of the bees, because they rarely talk about the actual event. If you can find secondary sources which talk specifically about the events, then we can keep these, but as they stand they're basically just extensions of the web sites, mostly if not all created by one user with few other edits outside these pages, which potentially suggests promotional concerns as well. The Times of India article at least has a couple sentences on the Geography Bee, but I don't think that's enough. We also have the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as an argument to avoid during deletion discussions - each article must be judged on their own notability merits.

  • Delete (all). Per my discussion above, this is not to be confused with the other notable Bees. These are commercial enterprises where the organizers generate revenue from selling test books to the young contestants (a bit like Beauty pageants). I haven't found - and nor has there been presented at this AfD - a single quality independent RS that gives SIGCOV to these tests (never mind WP:THREEREFS). Generally, when this straightforward test (no pun) can't be met, the "walls of text" often follow. Aszx5000 ( talk) 22:26, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    This is not true. The organizers do not produce study materials for this bee that are sold to the participants. I understand if the page is cut for some other reason, but what the above comment is stating is not true.
    This leads me to believe that they, and possibly others, are confusing this bee and bowl with another. It is very easy to prove that the above statement is not true. Here is a link to the website for the bee and bowl. There are no materials being sold in the manner suggested above. Santoslhelper ( talk) 02:53, 7 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    This is a for-profit and privately owned business. Here is the founder David Madden talking about his model (and promising never to sell to investors). There are many of these "pageants" with their own for-profit business models. Some sell their own books, some take licensing fees from others selling the books. Some make revenue from registration fees and hotel bookings etc. We have lots of articles on Wikipedia on for-profit enterprises, but as with WP:NCORP, they must demonstrate notability. Aszx5000 ( talk) 06:05, 7 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Having quickly looked at his BLP, I don't think that the owner of these tests, David Madden (Jeopardy! contestant), would also get through AfD. Most of his refs are WP:PRIMARY from Jeopardy!, and there is little proper SIGCOV on him as a standalone person by quality independent RS. Aszx5000 ( talk) 06:11, 7 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    This would seem to not be the case as PACE (Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence) writes this on their website: "Teams cannot qualify for the PACE NSC through competitions whose questions focus entirely or predominantly on a single academic subject (e.g. National History Bee and Bowl, National Science Bowl). The Wild Card Committee may consider performance at subject-specific academic competitions in the event that an applying team has a lack of available opportunities to play all-subject quizbowl in their area." Here is the link to the PACE Wikipedia page. If they see National History Bee and Bowl as a legitimate competition for qualification for PACE NSC, that would suggest that National History Bee and Bowl is legitimate. Santoslhelper ( talk) 01:38, 8 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    We are not trying to prove existence/Legitimacy but notability. Being listed in PACE does not help notability. We need quality third party independent WP:RS doing WP:SIGCOV pieces on these tests. We don't have that as yet. Aszx5000 ( talk) 12:29, 8 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Then I read some claims in the discussion that were clearly, demonstrably false ("beauty pageant" language and such), so I sought to set things straight. Then the conversation pivoted from that disparaging kind of language to talk of "notability," which, if that's the metric, I understand.

This is essentially advertising. The only links are to Masquelier's own site. The article says almost nothing about him: where did he study? where did he work? what did he publish? Web of Science lists 89 publications for Masquelier J, but a high proportion of these were written by other people with similar names, and 29 were published long after he died. Web of Science gives h = 15 (not too impressive if taken at face value) but h = 7 is a more plausible value if one tries to correct for homonyms.

  • Weak Delete Week keep. I'm just not seeing independent coverage needed for GNG or WP:NPROF in the above conversation. In the existing article, the only thing that maybe gives a little weight to notability is being a dean, but that is not good enough for NPROF under Criteria 6. The only thing I do notice is from a Google Scholar search where Masquelier is frequently mentioned for identifying the compounds (though that's about it). That's flirting with WP:BLP1E a bit, but I think there's just enough to have a stub. If it is kept, I do think it will benefit from combing out the promotional or closely tied sources, non-MEDRS health sources, etc. I could switch to delete if the google scholar search isn't what it appears to be though (e.g., they turn out to mostly be health woo articles).

I went looking through the sources I mentioned earlier in scholarly searches with a bit more depth, and while borderline in many cases, I would say they didn't really quite hit the bar for WP:SIGCOV.

  • Soft Delete or Keep Official Disney+ Hotstar Ott Website [3] and more coverage in Tamil language, show is still airing. There may be important updates in the future.-- P.Karthik.95 ( talk) 09:50, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Like above, AfD, there is little coverage, and this article extensively relies on routine promotional coverage.
    • Source 1 is promotional coverage which only describes the promotional video posted on YouTube
    • Source 2 is routine tabloid promotional coverage on the first season ending, and just contains various frames of this as well as a sentence with one screenshot of the new season
    • Source 3 is routine tabloid coverage that only summarises the promotional video posted on YouTube
    • Source 4 is a timeline of Bigg Boss events, only connection is that ER2's cast participated in this
    • Source 5 is a link to the promo on YouTube
    • Source 6 is on Bigg Boss's ending, and does not mention ER2 in any way
    This reply links to the show's page on Hotstar, which is not a source and none of this proves how ER2 is notable for Wikipedia. Karnataka ( talk) 15:21, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Soft Delete - there is somewhat significant coverage about the show, however most of it is just gossip i'm afraid - @ P.Karthik.95 look up eeramana rojavey 2 in tamil, see what you can find but i only found one article that bears relevance. @ Karnataka - Disney+ Hotstar is primary sourcing, that's only one source though so your point stands. Would consider changing my vote to Keep if you can find sufficient sourcing, i've tried but only found one source. Aspiringeditor1 ( talk) 21:37, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply
@ Aspiringeditor1 my point is to find notability for the topic. The Hotstar page will not prove notability because every show produced by Hotstar will be there, and it is a primary source so will not fit the notability guideline anyways. I put it in tamil and switched to news section [4], the top results are news on the cast and routine updates on 'today episodes'. Karnataka ( talk) 21:53, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:GNG and WP:WRITER. The article relies exclusively upon primary sources and sources that are connected to Wolfmoor (only sources independent of the subject of the article can be used to establish notability). All information in this article is sourced from Wolfmoor's Tweets, blog and 'About the Author'. The article is based entirely on statements made by Wolfmoor and Wolfmoor's publishers. I was unable to find any good independent sources, making meaningful improvement to this article impossible. Baronet13 ( talk) 23:25, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep There is plenty of articles supporting GNG.
As the article mentions, the Author has changed their name in 2019 and most of their work from before then is attributed to their older name.
[5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]
I believe the nomination may have missed in WP:BEFORE of the authors prior name under which most work is published, so the nomination may fall under WP:SNOWBALL. Raladic ( talk) 05:03, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply
None of these are significant coverage in a secondary source. The first one is an interview (which is a primary source and cannot be used to establish notability). The fourth is already cited in the article and is just a list (not coverage). The third and fifth are also just lists and are not coverage. The second only has a sentence about Wolfmoor, and the sixth has only a short paragraph. Nothing here proves notability. Baronet13 ( talk) 21:23, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply
These are standard reviews for Publishers Weekly and Kirkus and absolutely prove notability. In fact, reviews such as these are the gold standard for proving notability for author articles on Wikipedia. Wolfmoor has also been a multi-time nominee for the Locus Award, so there's the 3 award finalists spots you asked for. Plus there is also far more coverage of Wolfmoor and their work out there including in genre industry publications such as this spotlight interview in Lightspeed Magazine and reviews in Locus Magazine (see 1, 2, 3 but there are many more) and Tangent Online (see 1, 2 , 3 but again there are many more). The sum total of all this is Wolfmoor meets notability guidelines. -- SouthernNights ( talk) 12:00, 13 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Interviews are primary sources and can't be used to establish notability. As for the others, most have only a single paragraph, many only a single sentence, referencing Wolfomoor's work. They are just general descriptions and impressions, not the sort of detailed and in-depth analysis that would qualify as significant coverage. These sources do not satisfy notability requirements. Baronet13 ( talk) 06:02, 14 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Reviews are can be used to determine the notability of creative professionals such as authors. Per WP:POET, notability can be established if a creative professional has "won significant critical attention," which these reviews establish. But on top of that Wolfmoor has been a finalist for three different major awards in their genre, meaning they also meet that notability criteria.-- SouthernNights ( talk) 12:45, 14 June 2023 (UTC) reply
WP:POET isn't relevant because Wolfmoor is not a poet. The issue isn't whether or not reviews can be used to determine notability, it's whether or not the particular sources you listed are 'significant coverage.' Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not clearly define 'significant coverage', describing it only as addressing 'the topic directly and in detail'. I don't think it's possible to cover a book (or anything else) in detail is a single paragraph or less, and as a result would not consider short reviews and brief overviews to be significant coverage. Baronet13 ( talk) 02:47, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Baronet13: As an FYI, WP:POET is merely a redirect pointing to the notability guidelines for creative professionals. If you click on it you'll see it applies to all types of creative professionals, including authors. As for your belief that it's not possible to cover a book in a single paragraph, that's merely your belief. I disagree, especially when the reviews are in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus.-- SouthernNights ( talk) 20:09, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Based on the links provided by SouthernNights I'd say a Weak Keep but would strongly suggest that someone who is familiar with the author actually improve the article as it stands.

The subject is non-notable. The text doesn't indicate any major gallery shows, there are no citations for the one minor show, and the majority of the citations are from publications that aren't notable enough to have Wikipedia pages themselves.

As a mid-level judge and a former city council member, I do not believe this person meets the criteria set out under GNG or Wikipedia:Politician.

List of schools in Sejong City

I'm not seeing why we need an exhaustive list of schools for this city. The topic seems to be a violation of WP:NOTDIR Wikipedia is not a directory of everything in the universe that exists or has existed. Also this policy discourages simple listings without contextual information showing encyclopaedic merit. List also fails WP:LISTN due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV about this group of schools as a group. The local government website for Sejong is not an acceptable source as it's clearly not independent of the subject. This article only seems to have two notable schools (to be honest, even those two schools might be non-notable) so the list is not a useful index. Similar case to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of high schools in Asunción, Paraguay and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of schools in Riobamba among many others.

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Education, Schools, Lists, and South Korea. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:16, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Schools explains why we have such exhaustive lists: "Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability usually get merged or redirected to [...] the lowest level locality (elsewhere or where there is no governing body)." The local website of Sejong is an acceptable source to prove the school exists, and South Korean municipal websites document very well which schools exist in the country. Now does this mean the school has notability? No. The solution would be to redirect the school name to Sejong City. However this then requires the article "Sejong City" to carry the name of the school (so the redirect can exist). However if there are a large number of schools, a daughter article "List of schools in Sejong City" would be created to retain the information.
  • Whether to keep this list or not depends on how many schools Sejong City has. Can the city article comfortably keep the list of schools, or does it need a separate article? I've listed schools for Japanese municipalities and found ways to compress the lists using "div col", so I think I might be able to compress the lists of schools in the article Sejong City
  • WhisperToMe ( talk) 16:09, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
I understand the logic of those redirects being created as an alternative to an article although I do note that a lot of recent similar AfDs to this one have concluded in 'delete' which means that the consensus might be changing. My other concern is that I would still say that NOTDIR applies to a list of non-notable schools and I'm struggling to see why we find a directory list of schools acceptable, whether that be as part of the city article or as its own article, yet find directory lists of just about everything else to be unacceptable. I mean it wasn't that long ago that secondary schools were presumed to be notable enough for a stand-alone article without exception so maybe this needs looking at from scratch as it seems contradictory. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 17:03, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
One aspect is that many users wanted Wikipedia to function as a gazeteer of some sort noting major geographic sites, of which schools (especially government-operated schools) are one of them. As all incorporated municipalities are to have articles, there is an expectation of knowing about their respectively major functional sites like libraries, post offices, fire stations, and schools (especially government-run schools). Now, I notice in one of the AFDs the users wanted the schools being "discussed as a group or set in multiple, reliable secondary sources". I can check with South Korean editors if there are sources about the development of schools in Sejong City (which is a planned city set to be the administrative heart of South Korea).

This probably needs a broader discussion.

This may warrant an article in the future, but as of now, we have an article on a valet who is only known to the public because he was charged a few days ago. He hasn't and may not be convicted. We're getting into "do no harm" territory as far as BLP, which is fairly sacred. If it helps, I can throw in some other letters like WP:BLP1E and WP:CRIME.

If we have an infobox that says "Known for: being associated with someone" we're on shaky ground. GMG talk 12:44, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

I respectfully disagree. As of today, Nauta is the co-defendant of the first former president of the United States to be charged with a federal crime. That's a major role in a major event in the history of the United States. His role in this event is well documented.
Perhaps in the near future he will be a witness for the prosecution instead of a co-defendant, but that won't lessen his significance at all.

  • Keep You cited WP:BLP1E, which says we should not have an article when each of three conditions is met:
  • You say you can "throw in some other letters". Let's also look at WP:CRIMINAL: the criminal or victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies
    • 1. The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities;[10] or I guess the victim of this crime is the U.S. as a whole, so this doesn't fit.
    • 2. The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Yeah Donald Trump is alleged to have stored classified secrets in a bathroom and a ballroom stage, and Nauta is alleged to have helped move the boxes and apparently lied to the FBI in the process. The motivation for the crime and the execution of the crime are unusual, and this has become a well-documented historical event that will get more documentation as we get to a trial. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 15:03, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
      • A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person...Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured.
        I'm not sure I expect this will actually be deleted, because everything that touches Trump gets seven articles and four sidebar templates. But we're not supposed to be making articles based on what sources we feel will exist in the future, and we're supposed to be exercising the utmost caution with living people, especially living people who are only known for being connected with a crime for which they have not been convicted.

His lack of notoriety but role potentially facilitating the president to commit crimes is precisely why we need a curated article on him. He is now a public figure, like it or not. He is now and will always be noteworthy even if either/both are found not guilty or plead out in the future because Trump and his name will be tied together and the first thing I did reading the indictment today was look up the article on Wikipedia and thank goodness you hadn't deleted it yet.

This is another bilateral relations article that doesn't actually describe much of that - there is no significant coverage, only some statements by politicians, and that does not warrant a standalone article. I stumbled upon this just like the Equatorial Guinea Kosovo relations article, this sounds equivalently silly. -- Joy ( talk) 18:53, 26 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Comment: It may seem silly at first to you but it seems to me the article is referencing issues further from the mere fact that some nominal formal relations exist. The issues already addressed include bilateral state visit by Palau president to Serbia, potentially controversial issue of de-recognition of Kosovo as well as climate change effects on international relations.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 19:06, 26 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Comment (part 2): After expanding the article with further 18 references, many of which with in depth coverage I believe that comparison with Equatorial Guinea–Kosovo relations is inadequate one and probably even a false balanced approach. It would in fact be much more similar to the Georgia–Kiribati relations (maybe even Abkhazia–Vanuatu relations or Abkhazia–Tuvalu relations) case showing how in a globalized world some important links and relations (based on specific interest) between far away peripheral and semi-peripheral countries may develop.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 08:33, 27 May 2023 (UTC) reply
I'm sorry, but saying that the countries "collaborate" through an embassy in Tokio is just adding to the meaninglessness of this article. A blurb on the ministry of foreign affairs website does not constitute significant coverage of this "collaboration", most obviously because it's not a secondary source nor is it independent from the article subject. Also please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. In a globalized world, people write a lot of misguided encyclopedia articles and essentially waste volunteer time and effort. -- Joy ( talk) 07:15, 28 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Well, I understand that you may have a strong opinion that this is some silly and needless topic but once you stop laughing maybe take a look at other references in this article as well (the one you selected in no random way is obviously not independent but is neither stating anything controversial or analytical). Some of them are in depth independent sources which should be evaluated without strong preconceptions. That is all I expect and I believe people who get involved will be willing to do exactly that. As for waste of time, nominating notable topics for deletion can also be interpreted as a waste of time and this topic looks notable to me. But let the community decide. Cheers!-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 07:32, 28 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Which ones are in depth? Most of the reference section seems to be news coverage, at least I didn't notice much else. I combed through and saw nspm.rs which sounded like it could be an in-depth journal, but the article linked is from their 'chronicle' section and it seems to basically repeat a short press release. There's a handful of sources that are referenced more than once, an ABC article that quotes two academics from Macquarie University to explain, and an RTS article that seems to explicitly just carry a Tanjug wire article. This isn't about preconceptions, it's about the spirit and letter of WP:V. If the preponderance of coverage is about practically nothing, there's practically no reason to have an encyclopedia article about it. -- Joy ( talk) 09:20, 28 May 2023 (UTC) reply
It's about a small Pacific island nation with 4-5 embassies in total around the world which since 2018 managed to have two official heads of states meetings (Belgrade and New York), multiple high officials meetings (Belgrade, New York, Palau), clearly defined areas of interest in cooperation (climate, Kosovo), certain interest by USA and Russia in this relations, and bilateral agreements already signed or announced. There is also some precedence with certain role Yugoslavia played in UN's decolonisation efforts. All in all, this may be the best covered article on Palau's bilateral relations and I do believe that despite how small that state is their bilateral relations may be notable. Also, each of this requires significantly larger efforts by Palauan diplomacy to achieve than it would for any major state so even some simple meeting is hardly business as usual. Everything listed is properly referenced in multiple independent media sources (some of them with very sensationalist titles such as No smaller country no bigger friends) from Serbia and other countries. There is obvious media interest in this specific relations due to its linkage to Kosovo issue. It may seem to you equal to nonexistent relations between Kosovo and Equatorial Guinea but in reality it is not. It is also very much different than some hypothetical Serbia–Tonga relations since in this case both sides showed clear commitment to their cooperation (I shall not say collaboration I guess).-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 09:57, 28 May 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Despite the commendable effort to expand the article, there just isn't WP:SIGCOV in independent, reliable sources. Yes the article cites some sources that mention state visits and the like, but there's nothing that actually covers the topic of Palau–Serbia relations in any sort of depth. Yilloslime ( talk) 04:29, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Comment: there are multiple independent sources which I quoted in the article doing exactly what. Some of them addressing explicitly the beginning of bilateral relations for example. Also, sources dealing with bilateral meetings between the two countries are certainly a part of the topic. I would recommend everyone else to take a look at the reference list before assuming that the statement above is correct.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 06:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
Comment (part 2): also, since there is concern over the article currently under discussion should we probably also nominate most of the other articles in the Template:Foreign relations of Palau to check their inclusion? I think it would be shame to delete them all but at least it would tell us something about our policies if that would be the result. Personally, I would not like to do it myself at this time to avoid any disruption of the current procedure yet I am of course very much interested in equal treatment of topics on which I worked/am interested in to any other topic in this category.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 07:19, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: meets WP:HEY now, in my opinion. I think it's reasonable that articles on bilateral relations consist mostly of news coverage because they are supposed to cover various events i.e. relations between the two countries. Despite establishing relations four and a quarter years ago, news coverage seems WP:SUSTAINED enough, comes from several notable newspapers independent of the subject, nearly all are entirely dedicated to Serbia and Palau (i.e. WP:SIGCOV). 5~6 of 28 references come from obvious primary sources (Ministry / National Assembly / The Office of the President / Socialist Party / UNESCO?) and I think that's not enough to discredit the entire article. Which sources aren't reliable among the rest? Palau seems to punch above its weight for what it is, and topics from underrepresented regions should be given more consideration before jumping to 'delete' voting. – Vipz ( talk) 12:40, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    Let's not beat around the bush here - the topic area of "Serbia vs. Kosovo" is hardly an underrepresented one. Does it warrant a 'bilateral relations' article for each of the offshoots? -- Joy ( talk) 18:21, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    Not to beat around bushes, the importance of Kosovo in the initial development of those relations is explicitly stated (at least on Serbian side it was a primary motivation, doesn't seem like that on Palau's side). Saying that their relations are ONLY about Kosovo issue is original research if there is no reliable source stating it without other reliable sources challenging it.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 20:40, 30 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    But that's the thing - an encyclopedia needs to describe the real world. What's happening in the real world is a bunch of politicians occasionally talking. If our standard for reality is that, well, we might as well just give up on WP:AT and make a fresh article for each new press release :) This is not supposed to be WikiNews. -- Joy ( talk) 09:44, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    I don't know, maybe, but in this case we should split this article into multiple articles on 2-3 meetings, different policy areas, Yugoslavia in UN's body, shared initiative at UNESCO... but you are right, it may be too much. What is bringing it all together that it is about relations between Palau and Serbia in its different aspects and with different motivation.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 14:20, 31 May 2023 (UTC) reply
To add, I believe that the coverage is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL and WP:ROUTINE since it is essentially inherited by country X being in the United Nations. Though I am hinging a little bit to change my vote since the updated sources do satisfy the basic notability guideline. 2001:48F8:3004:FC4:D480:5FD5:9310:3BA4 ( talk) 04:45, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply
In small countries of the Global South many initiatives which may be routine for major powers are in fact very important. For example, newly independent states without hard power, use summitry and ceremonies as an important tool. This fact is widely recognised in relevant literature (I can attach some references if needed but everyone may just Google it). They may be in the same category but will nevertheless be events of different magnitude for parties involved (e.g. person in Iceland speaking Icelandic and person in Paraguay speaking Icelandic, both in the same category of Icelandic speakers but the second one may be more notable). State visit from Hungary to Serbia is therefore very unexceptional, but state visit from Palau is certainly not.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 08:25, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. It is clear that there is RS here on Palu-Serbia, such as here, but it seems like a 1-event (or topic) category. Why don't we integrate these bilateral single-topic relations (which go back and forward over time, so they are strung out and are less like events), into a single article on Pacific Islands-Serbia relations (or other sensible groupings)? I have sympathy that disparate articles with small countries over the same topic will be too hard to manage/keep updated. Better to aggregate imho, or as time goes by, this article will fall into disrepair. Aszx5000 ( talk) 09:48, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Yes, it is a good idea to "aggregate" into more substantive topic areas if there is more "aggregate" RS on the topic; makes for a more stable article long-term (i.e. borderline cases have a habit of returning again to AfD). Aszx5000 ( talk) 14:17, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: a lot of work has clearly gone into the article, but I think it's still fundamentally WP:SYNTH: to stand as an article in its own right, it shouldn't be the only work in print or publication with its topic area. There are lots of sources cited for individual aspects of the relationship between Palau and Serbia, but unless multiple reliable secondary sources have written on that relationship as a whole, I don't think we can have an article on it. With that said, the proposal for an aggregated article may be able to clear that hurdle, if the sources exist. Another option might be for a list article? UndercoverClassicist ( talk) 15:27, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: sources should provide non-incidental coverage of the topic but the topic does not have to be the primary subject of the source. That being said, multiple quoted sources address the relationship in general, some even as a primary topic stated in the title (The beginning of relations between Palau and Serbia for example). Aspects of bilateral relations are certainly part of the topic and better suited for this than for any other article. Of course, the idea to consider other alternatives to deletion is interesting since this article certainly contains important encyclopedic information of interest for some readers.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 15:50, 3 June 2023 (UTC) reply

    @ QuicoleJR it is technically true that the article no longer talk only about the diplomatic exchanges from 2018 and 2019 about Kosovo, it now has a paragraph about an event from 2022 at UNESCO, right? It seems to describe something happening with eight other countries. I thought these were about bilateral relations, not multilateral relations? What is the significant coverage of Serbia-Palau relations in https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000381043? It's a 5 page PDF that mentions the word Serbia one time in the summary. And how is this source independent of the subject, if these are member countries of the same organization? -- Joy ( talk) 17:15, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    If I may add to this technical information that it also deals with Our Ocean Conference (funding and subsequent participation), multiple meetings which included public diplomacy, reactions by other stakeholders and historical Yugoslav involvement (where there are most probably multiple primary and maybe some secondary sources still not digitalized or easily available). But sure, one of the sources in UNESCO's document jointly drafted and proposed as a common position by 10 countries two of which are Serbia and Palau- I don't see how it is not related to their bilateral relations, after all we often explicitly say something like "both countries are members of NATO, EU etc". It seems to me that there is nothing very controversial in the way this particular source was used, just as a source of some non-interpretative fact (for example, it may be very different to use some institution's website to A) reference their address or B) state that they are leaders in the field--- and here, the fact that it is a common position of 10 countries at UNESCO may even provide additional RS quality). If I am wrong the source maybe should be censored. But more importantly, my understanding is that some relevant number of sources must be RS (and other sources were in fact indicated by other users, not this one which you selected here) and that the fact that one or X number of other sources are maybe not up to that standard does not undermine those that are RS. Probably very often our sources are of different quality and we can't always ensure that all of them are A+ but as long as they are reliable and decent sources we may be in a position to work with them.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 20:27, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Yes. The main issue does the volume and quality of these mentions strongly support the topic as an article, or is it just an assortment of mentions. If an average English reader reads the article, are they going to conclude "ah, yes, these two nations engage in relations that I now understand", or are they going to conclude "wait, what? all that these two nations have done together is this, and I spent all this time clicking through references that were essentially clickbait?" -- Joy ( talk) 14:14, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    That is a fair point and my impression is that they will certainly have something to learn about this notable relation (even if they may be more about big ambitions which may not all materialise and motivated by some specific circumstances). On the other hand my strong impression is that some average English reader will in fact probably have some strong pre-assumptions that there are probably no any notable relations between Palau and Serbia so if they are interested in foreign relations of each one of them may learn something counterintuitive and very useful they potentially didn't know before. I think you had some similar pre-assumptions when initially you stated that Palau Serbia relations are equally silly to article on non-existent relations between Kosovo and Equatorial Guinea (now deleted) that actually simply stated that there are no relations. Now you assume that it is all just about Kosovo (that is probably why you included this discussion into Kosovo deletion discussions section as well although I don't necessarily think it is totally related) but references clearly show that it is not despite strong initial importance of this case. I think freeing ourselves from such pre-assumptions may help us evaluate this case in a better way. Just imagine you have to evaluate article with similar engagements and references between let's say Latvia–Lithuania relations or Moldova–Slovenia relations where pre-assumption would probably be opposite.-- MirkoS18 ( talk) 16:07, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep.

    ly the Vrxces ( talk) 22:10, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    Well basically if the notability hinges on an unclear source, you can post the source on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Sources and then ask for feedback on whether it is reliable prior to making the article.
    In this case I still don't think it would be notable even if Well Played is reliable. However, given that the site describes itself as "a collective of gamers" rather than a true publication, I have serious doubts that it is. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 04:05, 26 May 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Indiegamesplus is Indiegames, it's just a site rename after the website no longer had UBM.

Finally, Kotaku Australia is its own separate staff, so being the same website doesn't really matter, since I don't imagine a coordinated campaign occurred to get both branches to talk about it. - Cukie Gherkin ( talk) 15:23, 26 May 2023 (UTC) reply
    The question is: is the independent IndieGamesPlus still reliable after splitting from its owner? I don't think that's just an open and shut case for its reliability. I also don't think it's provable that Kotaku AU's writer was not inspired in any way from seeing the earlier Kotaku review when writing the list.

    The staff of IG and IGP are the same, and multiple discussions occurred about the change where editors affirmed that having the same EIC and staff was enough that they didn't need to reevaluate it.

Per the precedent set at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1964 in Nagaland, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1963 in Nagaland and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2018 in New York City, I nominate this article, along with 41 other articles for deletion.

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There are no secondary reliable sources asserting the "[X year] in Macau" is a topic for scholarly research. The articles fail WP:GNG, and thus should be deleted. All of these lists are also stubs, with very little information presented.

The complete list of pages nominated for deletion are:

  • Keep the other AfDs were for non-sovereign entities. I don't see why these lists would be considered indiscriminate, either, which is important, because list articles don't need to meet GNG, making this an invalidly formed deletion argument. These were the sorts of articles you'd see in actual print encyclopaedias if I remember correctly. The "no scholarly research" argument doesn't apply to lists. I think you could make a very comprehensive argument that we could have say 2000s in Macau instead of individual years based on the amount of information available in each article, and I would support that merge, but deleting would remove information that's completely validly in the encyclopaedia for years per Wikipedia:Timeline. SportingFlyer T· C 09:20, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

    I took a look at Wikipedia:Timeline, which seems to be primarily a style guide, without any specific standards on the notability required for the inclusion of a list. Likewise, the linked page Wikipedia:Timeline standards is also mostly a a style guide, without any standards on notability. 33ABGirl ( talk) 10:11, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Macau has the highest level of autonomy possible for a Chinese administrative region and is frequently referred to in the same breath as other sovereign countries, similar to Hong Kong. WP:LISTN is the valid guideline here, and Wikipedia:Timeline simply demonstrates that the "year in country" is a valid purpose as a result of: "Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability." This clearly fulfills a recognized informational purpose, even though I do admit it could be organised better. SportingFlyer T· C 11:02, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete hastily. There is simply no need for this breadth of detail on a small nation with no compelling need for subordinating historic information in this way, it's just unedited data. It's almost embarrassing when one comes across articles like this because it's unencyclopedic. What is the circumstance where a reader interested in Macau would need information laid out in this way?

  • Comment these have so little content combining down to say decades would make more sense KylieTastic ( talk)
  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

    Guidelines

    Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists says: "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list."

    Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Specialized list articles says: " Timelines, using a standardized layout to present a chronological summary of a topic; examples include Timeline of architectural styles and Graphical timeline of the Big Bang. There is a special MediaWiki timeline syntax, but most Wikipedia timeline list articles do not presently use this recently introduced feature. For more information, see timeline."

    Analysis of the guidelines and sources

    The concept "timeline of Macau" has been discussed in independent reliable sources. Both Reuters and Macau Daily Times published articles with timelines of Macau. The information in these articles could be structured differently. SportingFlyer wrote, "I think you could make a very comprehensive argument that we could have say 2000s in Macau instead of individual years based on the amount of information available in each article". I think there is more than enough information in sources about Macau for there to be an article for each year in Macau. But as the individual year articles do not have much content yet, I think combining the articles is fine until enough information has been added to justify spinoffs. Per Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required and Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion, the articles should be kept with no prejudice against consolidation.

  • Merge any relevant info to the respective Year in China articles. While Year in Macau would be valid WP:SIZESPLIT child articles if it became necessary, I don't believe that it is at this time. I'll note that there are a lot of these miscellaneous Year in X articles that need clean up, and I think that merging them like this is a good response in general.

completely unnotable wiki. sourced to itself, poor quality sources, and trivial mentions. lettherebedarklight 晚安 07:41, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I've been editing WP for over 10 years. I took a quick look at WikiArt and can find no criteria for deletion present. The subject of the article is notable, since it was the topic of a serious article in the Smithsonian Magazine, one of its references. The article is written well, although a bit short, and contains references for its major points. There is no problem with WP:POV or WP:OR. On the other hand, the complaint that triggered this request for deletion is a brief, uncapitalized sentence that gives no examples to justify any of its four complaints. Because the complaint isn't reasonable as it currently stands, and because the topic relates to Ukraine, a country at war, my guess is that this deletion attempt is politically motivated. Again, that is just a guess, but it would explain its apparent attempt to vandalize WP. David Spector ( talk) 10:25, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

ref 4 No borked, but is clearly the website's own blog ? moot ? moot ✘ No
ref 5 No subject website ? moot ? moot ✘ No
ref 6 Yes Yes No here's the article which you (presumably) claim to count towards wikiart's notability. yet the only mention of it is this: To train their algorithm​, researchers used the more than 80, 000 images from WikiArt.org, one of the largest online collections of digital art. the rest is explaining the technology using wikiart's database. it's just mentioned as a database! ✘ No
ref 7 Yes Yes No or is it this one? still the same problem, the only mention of it is this: The other network is the “discriminator” network, which is trained on 81,500 images from the WikiArt database, spanning centuries of painting. that's it. ✘ No
ref 8 Yes ? No still the same problem! the only mention of it is this: For the training, they used 81,449 paintings by 1,119 artists in the publicly available WikiArt data set. nothing so far is significant coverage. ✘ No
ref 9 Yes ? No it's the same thing again and again. mere referrals to wikiart as a database, nothing more. ✘ No
ref 10 Yes ? No i think you know what i'm going to say already. ✘ No
ref 11 Yes Yes No only mention? trivial! The team collected a set of 15,000 portraits from online art encyclopedia WikiArt, spanning the 14th to the 19th century, and fed them into the GAN algorithm. ✘ No
ref 12 Yes Yes No big surprise, it's the same darn thing! To start, Cetinic and her colleagues analyzed more than 100,000 images from WikiArt. that's it. ✘ No
ref 13 Yes ? No go on, guess. ✘ No

There are over 100 newspaper database matches for Dziewialtowski, but apart from a couple of paragraphs in the Aberdeen Evening Express for 26 November 1997, I couldn't find anything that amounts to more than brief, routine coverage of results. Looks to me like he fails to meet WP:GNG. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 15:19, 26 May 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Sportspeople, Cue sports, and Scotland. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 15:19, 26 May 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - going by newspaper coverage alone, you might have a point...but if we take Dziewialtowski as failing WP:GNG, I feel we will need to apply this to about half of all snooker player articles we have on Wikipedia. I'm happy to contribute to that process if that is the route we choose to take, but I believe it would be counter-productive to our aim of increasing the coverage of snooker here. I take the view that he meets the criteria for notability established here - [24] - having been ranked 68 at one point during a career lasting twelve years, and having been a quarter-finalist in a major tournament, the 1997 UK Championship. It's regrettable that there was only a passing mention of that achievement, but in my view, this should not detract from the fact that such an achievement - coupled with his albeit moderate career success - is sufficient for him to be notable here. Montgomery15 ( talk) 20:48, 27 May 2023 (UTC) reply
  • @ Montgomery15: I sympathise with your view but I don't think it accords with policy. Wikipedia:Notability (sports), which links to the page you mention, states that "The topic-specific notability guidelines described on this page do not replace the general notability guideline. They are intended only to stop an article from being quickly deleted when there is very strong reason to believe that significant, independent, non-routine, non-promotional secondary coverage from multiple reliable sources is available, given sufficient time to locate it." Near the top of the page that you link to, it says "Please note that the wikiproject advice below... should not be relied upon in the article deletion process, which is subject to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, not wikiproject recommendations." If you know of any other coverage in reliable sources about Dziewialtowski, such as in books or other media, please share the details. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 22:36, 27 May 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - My recollection was he got quite a bit of newspaper coverage at the time of the 1997 UK Championship and its aftermath. I suspect that this was largely as it was very unusual for a player at his ranking to get so far in a major tournament and there was a thought that he could be the next big Scottish player. While I would probably lean towards saying he is notable enough to have an article, I can see the case against as well. I would suggest if deletion is agreed to then a Redirect to 1997 UK Championship would be a good option as I do think people might search for him and this is undoubtedly the event that he is best known for (and why he would be searched for).

  • Keep, it's common practice to create separate pages for individual and team events to remove burden on the main page. See other SEA Games Badminton articles where singles, doubles, team all have distinct articles. You can find more sources when searching for this subject in NewspaperSG. This is a page related to Southeast Asian Games, where badminton is a hugely popular sport and the mass reporting was done on local newspapers, some of which are available at newspapersg. So when you say that this is an "indiscriminate" collection of facts, you are completely wrong. It has a high importance when looking it from the view of Badminton World, being a significant regional event. zoglophie 06:27, 29 May 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Merge with 1975 SEAP Games. The "parent" article is very short, so I think the split into different events is premature. Also, while the content of the article is currently very much on the line of WP:NOTDB I think it's plausible that more information could be found. The article has only been around for about 6 months now. Hopefully if the merge goes through, having that info moved out of an obscure sub-article will encourage searches for more in-depth sources.

  • Keep. You have got to be kidding me. It is not a made-up false thing (see photo at right, and see Commons category:Grand Mosque Allahabad). The article states it has 101 domes and capacity for 10,000 worshippers. It was under construction in 2018. Surely there is coverage of its construction, though perhaps not found by Google searching "Grand Mosque Allahabad", which is obviously not in Urdu and is perhaps not even its common name in English. Search "masjid Sindh" and other variations of placenames and "mosque". Here is one academic-type paper about it: Grand_Mosque_Allahabad_Kandyaro_5_april_1_corrected. There is a news report in OpIndia (a blacklisted site so my edit including the URL won't save) about a pretty horrible crime caught by CCTV (I believe in this mosque) "Pakistan: Maulvi rapes child reading Quran in mosque in Sindh province, caught on CCTV". User:BookishReader, your not liking the sources means you could tag the article, but opening an AFD is not called for without performing a decent wp:BEFORE effort.

List of Centralwings destinations (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

As was outlined at the 2018 RFC on lists of airline destinations and quoted in a recent related AFD, these are not suitable content for Wikipedia. As per the subsequent AN discussion, subsequent AFDs may or will be nominated in a orderly fashion provided they have a link to the RFC, and the closer of any AFD was to take the RFC into account in any closing decisions.

To briefly summarise, the articles on their own would fail WP:NOT, in particular WP:NOTCATALOG/ WP:NOTDIRECTORY. To outline and quote an argument in the linked related recent AFD mentioned in the first paragraph, WP:CORP would apply to articles dedicated to the products and services offered by a company. The airlines nominated on this list are also defunct (or have since closed down), and lack of (or zero) sourcing in nominated would pass that standard. The extremely limited coverage was found in only one of those articles ( List of Midwest Connect destinations), which largely came from the closed airline's website (now a defunct link) and is therefore not an independent source and would not pass WP:INDEPENDENT. All other nominated articles are largely unreferenced and clearly fail WP:V.

WP:BEFORE is not mandatory, however doing a brief research found only a Air Wales route map on a blog website, whilst looking for MexicaLink and Delta Express destinations largely returned results linking to mirror websites of Wikipedia and may be worth being a minor mention in the parent airline's articles ( Mexicana de Aviación and Delta Air Lines) under their history sections respectively.

I am open to other suggestions, but considering the listed airlines are defunct and the lack of available independent sources that may rescue those articles, for now I would recommend Delete as the nominator. Coastie43 ( talk) 03:19, 10 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Not that it really matters, but NOTGUIDE doesn't apply here as this is not the sort of information that would ever appear in a guidebook.

    Ah - my mistake. Again, however, the conclusions they come to, even in that single source, are absurd. From their abstract's results section:

    In clinical studies, GJD has the various effectiveness in cardiovascular diseases, alcoholic hepatitis, mild dementia, anemia. Also experimental studies related to the GJD show a variety of effects, such as anti-oxidative activity, neuroprotective activity, hepatoprotective activity, anti-inflammatory activity, immunological activity, reproductive recovery activity with fewer side-effects.

IP, notability is not inherited (e.g. just because a video game is notable it doesn't mean that any of the characters are also notable.)

I posted at the top of the discussion about only a fraction of the coverage. I can include many, many more articles, both current and from years past, if needed. I will include a copy of the posting from above, below. Also, several non-profit universities have hosted tournaments in recent years, including Princeton University. High schools and middle schools report on their participation (non-internally). If necessary, I can add more links to coverage. I am new to this and do not know if it was better to put the links at the top of the discussion or here. NAQT officially includes this as one of the bees they recognize, which can be found here.

Santoslhelper ( talk) 00:38, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Having done even more cursory research, I can provide a longer list of articles, if needed. Also, the amount and kinds of reportage - in local and state newspapers and television stations - seems to be exactly in line with every other Quizbowl tournament - those hosted by or listed by NAQT and other state organizations. Why it would be this particular bee and bowl that is suggested for deletion is a bit confusing, given the others. Scripps and National Geographic (before it ended) had corporate sponsorship which naturally leads/led to more national coverage for them. Santoslhelper ( talk) 01:10, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete all My initial reaction was that these may need to be nominated individually, because the nom didn't explain they are all relatively recent events run by the same organisation, hence why they were grouped together, and I was prepared to try and keep these or at least make some sort of argument to spin off the AfDs. That's not needed, though. What's very clear upon review is that there's no independent secondary coverage of any of these articles - it's all routine local coverage of winners, citing the org's website, and a link to a Google Sheet. SportingFlyer T· C 21:11, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    But this appears to be the same kind coverage for all of the regular quizzing competitions at the middle school and high school level. Does that mean that Knowledge Bowl's and Commissioner's Academic Challenge's pages and other state bowl's and bee's pages should be deleted as well? None of the NAQT competitions receive the same coverage as Scripps. Theirs are all in line with the History Bee and Bowl competitions, but there is not a move to delete those pages. Why is this the only one, when local coverage of the events is what is generated for this kind of competition? Santoslhelper ( talk) 21:22, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    That doesn't matter for the purposes of this discussion - what matters is the sort of coverage the articles at this specific AfD receive. If other bees are basically sourced only to their own website, then they could probably be deleted as well. SportingFlyer T· C 21:25, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Just to be clear, I do not think any of these competitions' pages should be deleted. But if what is noted above - citing org's pages for winners and local coverage - is all that is required for deletion, then nothing but Scripps would survive. It seems more prudent to recognize that quiz bowl and bee competitions at the middle school and high school level are valid topics for inclusion, but that their individual tournaments are not likely to garner more than annual local and statewide coverage. But the aggregate of that coverage, year over year, and the number of participants, in the many thousands every year, make for something significant. Santoslhelper ( talk) 21:30, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    • That's not impossible. Wikipedia requires a topic to be notable before it can have a stand-alone article, and we define notability as being recognised by secondary sources. If the only sources we can use to create an article are WP:PRIMARY, then it's not notable enough. Unfortunately we also discount routine local news stories - none of the "local child wins bee" article are significant coverage of the bees, because they rarely talk about the actual event. If you can find secondary sources which talk specifically about the events, then we can keep these, but as they stand they're basically just extensions of the web sites, mostly if not all created by one user with few other edits outside these pages, which potentially suggests promotional concerns as well. The Times of India article at least has a couple sentences on the Geography Bee, but I don't think that's enough. We also have the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as an argument to avoid during deletion discussions - each article must be judged on their own notability merits.

  • Keep: For all the reasons that I have listed in replies.

  • Delete (all). Per my discussion above, this is not to be confused with the other notable Bees. These are commercial enterprises where the organizers generate revenue from selling test books to the young contestants (a bit like Beauty pageants). I haven't found - and nor has there been presented at this AfD - a single quality independent RS that gives SIGCOV to these tests (never mind WP:THREEREFS). Generally, when this straightforward test (no pun) can't be met, the "walls of text" often follow. Aszx5000 ( talk) 22:26, 6 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    This is not true. The organizers do not produce study materials for this bee that are sold to the participants. I understand if the page is cut for some other reason, but what the above comment is stating is not true.
    This leads me to believe that they, and possibly others, are confusing this bee and bowl with another. It is very easy to prove that the above statement is not true. Here is a link to the website for the bee and bowl. There are no materials being sold in the manner suggested above. Santoslhelper ( talk) 02:53, 7 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    This is a for-profit and privately owned business. Here is the founder David Madden talking about his model (and promising never to sell to investors). There are many of these "pageants" with their own for-profit business models. Some sell their own books, some take licensing fees from others selling the books. Some make revenue from registration fees and hotel bookings etc. We have lots of articles on Wikipedia on for-profit enterprises, but as with WP:NCORP, they must demonstrate notability. Aszx5000 ( talk) 06:05, 7 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Having quickly looked at his BLP, I don't think that the owner of these tests, David Madden (Jeopardy! contestant), would also get through AfD. Most of his refs are WP:PRIMARY from Jeopardy!, and there is little proper SIGCOV on him as a standalone person by quality independent RS. Aszx5000 ( talk) 06:11, 7 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    This would seem to not be the case as PACE (Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence) writes this on their website: "Teams cannot qualify for the PACE NSC through competitions whose questions focus entirely or predominantly on a single academic subject (e.g. National History Bee and Bowl, National Science Bowl). The Wild Card Committee may consider performance at subject-specific academic competitions in the event that an applying team has a lack of available opportunities to play all-subject quizbowl in their area." Here is the link to the PACE Wikipedia page. If they see National History Bee and Bowl as a legitimate competition for qualification for PACE NSC, that would suggest that National History Bee and Bowl is legitimate. Santoslhelper ( talk) 01:38, 8 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    We are not trying to prove existence/Legitimacy but notability. Being listed in PACE does not help notability. We need quality third party independent WP:RS doing WP:SIGCOV pieces on these tests. We don't have that as yet. Aszx5000 ( talk) 12:29, 8 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    I am a little surprised about your comment on commercial enterprises. Most sports leagues are private for profit commercial enterprises.

    Hello IP and welcome to Wikipedia. We're not really focusing on the "commercial" part; instead we are focusing on notability. I do have to say that commercial or not these competitions fail the notability guideline as they lack significant coverage in independent secondary sources, which is the minimum threshold for notability. -- Prodraxis talk contribs 00:35, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Then I read some claims in the discussion that were clearly, demonstrably false ("beauty pageant" language and such), so I sought to set things straight. Then the conversation pivoted from that disparaging kind of language to talk of "notability," which, if that's the metric, I understand.

This is essentially advertising. The only links are to Masquelier's own site. The article says almost nothing about him: where did he study? where did he work? what did he publish? Web of Science lists 89 publications for Masquelier J, but a high proportion of these were written by other people with similar names, and 29 were published long after he died. Web of Science gives h = 15 (not too impressive if taken at face value) but h = 7 is a more plausible value if one tries to correct for homonyms.

His methods do appear to be researched by others, such as in this article in Nutrition Journal. Haven't yet made a determination on a !vote. Curbon7 ( talk) 18:24, 25 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Weak keep The peer-review study cited and explained by Athel cb is of concern, but that's how research gets done, drug companies sponsor studies. The honorary awards are probably the best proof we have for notability. Oaktree b ( talk) 14:22, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. The article used to be significantly longer, but another editor removed a bunch of text as unreferenced. See this version: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Jacques_Masquelier&oldid=1044714873 Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 01:19, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Comment. Not just unreferenced. The edit summary said "There is absolutely no source for these grandiose claims. The links are to a company selling Masquelier-brand snake oil." I agree. Athel cb ( talk) 08:54, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. This article in a peer-reviewed journal shows that his work had a lasting impact. Weseler, Antje R.; Bast, Aalt (2017-01-19). "Masquelier's grape seed extract: from basic flavonoid research to a well-characterized food supplement with health benefits". Nutrition Journal. 16 (1): 5. doi: 10.1186/s12937-016-0218-1. ISSN  1475-2891. PMC  5248468. PMID  28103873. His death notice mentions two honorary degrees, the position of rector at a wine-lovers' association, and the position of "dean of the faculty" at Bordeaux (presumably the University of Bordeaux). Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 02:02, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Comment. Yes, but notice that the authors of that article say "This work was financially supported by International Nutrition Company (INC) BV, Loosdrecht, The Netherlands.", and the web site of that company says "INC​ is the exclusive worldwide supplier of MASQUELIER's Original OPCs / ANTHOGENOL ® and MASQUELIER's ® FRENCH PINE BARK COMPLEX. Dr. Jack Masquelier is not only the discoverer of OPCs, he is also the inventor of both products' original production methods. INC's MASQUELIER's ® products are being made per the scrupulous manufacturing standards "set" by Dr. Masquelier." Back to advertising, it seems to me. However, I accept that honorary degrees from Laval and Bordeaux are legitimate evidence of notability. Athel cb ( talk) 09:07, 2 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Delete Week keep. I'm just not seeing independent coverage needed for GNG or WP:NPROF in the above conversation. In the existing article, the only thing that maybe gives a little weight to notability is being a dean, but that is not good enough for NPROF under Criteria 6. The only thing I do notice is from a Google Scholar search where Masquelier is frequently mentioned for identifying the compounds (though that's about it). That's flirting with WP:BLP1E a bit, but I think there's just enough to have a stub. If it is kept, I do think it will benefit from combing out the promotional or closely tied sources, non-MEDRS health sources, etc. I could switch to delete if the google scholar search isn't what it appears to be though (e.g., they turn out to mostly be health woo articles).

I went looking through the sources I mentioned earlier in scholarly searches with a bit more depth, and while borderline in many cases, I would say they didn't really quite hit the bar for WP:SIGCOV. It wouldn't take much for a few sources to get this person past the notability bar though given what I have seen, but we'd still have to be careful that they aren't of the fringe or WP:PUFFERY variety if such sources show up in the future.

  • Delete per WP:TNT. "Masquelier.com your guide to MASQUELIER's Original OPCs health benefits" as the main source?? Really? This looks like a blatant fail of WP:MEDRS and a WP:COATRACK to cite this non-MEDRS source. None of the sources listed appear to be all of in-depth, reliable, and independent of the subject. There is no real evidence of WP:PROF nor WP:GNG notability, and I agree with the "snake oil" comment above. — David Eppstein ( talk) 07:23, 8 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Neither the general nor the specialized notability criteria are met; there is no indication that we need to write about the person rather than the compounds. XOR'easter ( talk) 06:35, 13 June 2023 (UTC) reply
