  • Comment: So here's my question then, if it's "too soon" then are we supposed to wait to create an article until after a nominee is confirmed? Thereby waiting months, maybe years to do so? That seems really counterintuitive to me. Snickers2686 ( talk) 02:51, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Yes! Assuming these nominees will be confirmed is WP:CRYSTAL. Let'srun ( talk) 18:16, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Jeffrey Cummings; move to draft as to the rest. These articles raise an interesting conundrum. If these nominations are confirmed, as the substantial majority of federal judicial nominations eventually are, then notability will be automatic. If the unlikely event that any of these nominations are rejected in a Senate vote, that in itself would be a point in favor of the notability of the subjects. If these linger until the end of the administration and are never acted on, I don't think they confer notability thereby, but would be some evidence of notability in combination with other information on the subjects that might be found. Among these subjects, there is some coverage of notable rulings made by Cummings as a magistrate, and I think that one can likely stand as an article as is. The rest can be moved to draft for further research and/or developments. BD2412 T 03:29, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. The WP:USCJN section on U.S. District Court judges directive states a nomination doesn't mean they are inherently notable but that does not mean the nominees aren't notable. A person is never nominated to an equal branch of government for a lifetime appointment by the leader of the executive branch without having a lengthy career & background. All of the nominees have references to their careers in the press. The president's own announcement details each of their bios.

Article about an entrepreneur that fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. The sources are mostly passing mentions of the subject. The position he holds does not confer notability on the subject. Possibly WP:TOOSOON or WP:PROMO. Jamiebuba ( talk) 23:45, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply


  • Keep.

A person who is the head of the Minifootball Association of Nigeria isn’t notable enough because he’s head of a Nigerian Association? You’re expecting me to put ESPN and Goal.com links for a Nigerian football administrator instead of that from the local media? OR aren’t Nigerians allowed to have stubs?

Why are Nigerian pages such easy targets to pull down? Bob Lord (football chairman) is just a football chairman, so why is his page still standing?

I réalisé that most new Wikipedia editors don’t know what they are doing as regards inclusivity and equity in handling different pages from different background.

This reminds me of the time when someone went through all the pages I created and nominated for deletion all the Nigerian pages but left any page that I created of subjects of European or American descent.

I am a big supporter of sticking to the path of Wikipedia that you are familiar with. They are so many things to do on Wikipedia to help the community, scoring cheap points by pulling down pages of an already vulnerable demographic reeks of weakness and sycophancy. Don’t just meander into facets you aren’t familiar with. And y’all need to do better Amaekuma ( talk) 23:56, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete The minifootball position is likely not notable and I can only find sourcing about his nomination. The real estate is probably why it's here, some PROMO. Routine announcements, no features about the individual in RS. Oaktree b ( talk) 00:42, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
In your above question you asked if Mini football league was a league for little kids. AND EXACTLY IS THE PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING ON WIKIPEDIA. CLUELESS PEOPLE TAKING BIG DECISIONS.

Also the you say because the other subject has a chapter in a book, he is worthy of a page.

A person admitted that he doesn’t know what the meaning of the page’s topic is about, but yet went ahead to vote. And I’m supposed to just overlook that detail?

Article about semi-pro/amateur journeyman footballer which doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG. Fataki has never played football at a high-level; stints in the Belgian Second Division and Albanian Kategoria Superiore represent the "peaks" of his career. As a journeyman who has played for many clubs throughout Europe and Africa, there is a lot of routine coverage available (almost all of it consisting of match reports and transfer news/speculation). However, I cannot locate in-depth coverage in reliable sources that is independent of the subject; the best source I could find is an ADIAC transfer news piece that contains a paragraph recap of his career. Unfortunately, none of the sources included in the article now or that I found in my WP:BEFORE search could be paired with it to satisfy the GNG. References 1-13 are either not independent (his employers Balma SC, MDA Foot, FC Rouen), not reliable (Walfoot, Footpy) or routine (Le Foot, Gazeta Panorama x2, ADIAC, Gazeta Gerçek). External links 1, 2, 4 and 5 are not independent (Balma SC and FC Rouen again), not reliable (Walfoot again) or are interviews that contain almost zero secondary coverage (Actufoot). External link 3 (Paris-Normandie) is an interview with some secondary coverage but no byline. It mentions his performance in a trial friendly match (hardly notable) and the briefest of mentions of his footballing origins. I found plenty of other match reports, transfer news and interviews (Sud-Ouest, Footdrc.com) that are not SIGCOV, so I just can't see how this article meets our guidelines. If we think this sort of low-quality coverage is sufficient, the result will be that almost every semi-pro or amateur footballer with a lengthy or journeyman career can have an article.

  • Delete. Can't find any SIGCOV of him. 〜 Festucalex • talk 10:17, 23 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. As an initial side note, WP:PERP seems to be rather confused about itself, and links out to WP:WELLKNOWN for its criterion for being "well-known". But WELLKNOWN is part of BLP and is focused on "public figure" as a privacy standard. I'm not sure that's coherent enough to try to follow, but in any event, for the following reasons, I'd say it is safe to say that Schecroun is/was well-known in that sense. For starters, his 1962 arrest and confession attracted massive worldwide attention (e.g. Reuters, UPI, NYTNS). That was certainly the peak of his fame, but it wasn't entirely the end of it. For example, in 1974 he was featured in an Omnibus episode titled "Don't Take It For Granted", in which he apparently showed how forgery is done. Jeppson gave him a three-page profile with some excellent biographical detail in Fabulous Frauds (1970). Catherine Dossin has briefer but nontrivial coverage in The Rise and Fall of American Art (Routledge, 2016). I have reached my personal limit for the night but I have no sense of being anywhere near running out of coverage. -- Visviva ( talk) 04:06, 24 June 2023 (UTC) reply

WP:NPOL states: Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline."
WP:GNG states:
A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. PaulGamerBoy360 ( talk) 19:45, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply

I don't see any evidence that the subject passes WP:NPROF or GNG. Assistant professors are rarely notable and this doesn't seem to be an exception - his most highly cited paper has 65 citations, which is far from satisfying WP:NPROF#C1, especially in a high-citation field. The citations in the article comprise primary sources, his own works, and news items in which he provides a quote in passing - there's no independent biographical coverage of the subject himself. The article appears to have been the subject of extensive COI/UPE editing, which wouldn't be a reason to delete it if it were actually notable, but which furthers the impression that the topic doesn't meet our standards for inclusion.

    I am not understanding how the president of the United States nominating somebody to a lifetime appointment to a co-equal branch of the government & including a bio of them in the announcement not enough to make a person notable. The nominee is covered by numerous media outlets across the country once the announcement is made.
    MIAJudges ( talk) 06:14, 1 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    Then let me explain it to you. On Wikipedia, notability is determined through meeting one or more of several notability guidelines: in this case, for instance, by meeting WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV or WP:POLITICIAN. SIGCOV is the key here: it is not sufficient for a source (however reliable) to say "President Biden sent Soandso's name to the Senate for nomination." SIGCOV goes into some detail about what's needed, but the gist is that a source needs to discuss the subject -- not the nominating process, not President Biden, not the Senate Judiciary Committee, the subject -- in "significant detail," so that an article could be credibly made from that source alone.

    And that is it. I've told you a couple of times over that there are no other pertinent, explicit criteria. I have challenged you a couple times over to demonstrate that there is pertinent, explicit criteria such as you describe. We do not make determinations based on what you think should be in the criteria were you the one making the rules here. We make them based on the notability criteria already in place. Period.

    In the German system, full professors are generally chair of something. Niebergall is Chair of Logic and Philosophy of Language [5]. Whether that should be considered as equivalent to the sort of named chair that one might have in a US university is unclear to me. I have been told that there is a difference between established chairs (that are held by multiple people in sequence) and personal chairs (given only to one person as a way to list them as full professor) and that one is better than the other, but I don't really understand the distinction myself nor how to tell which one Niebergall has. Perhaps there is someone more familiar with German academia who can clarify. — David Eppstein ( talk) 01:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak delete. I'm not willing to extend automatic notability to all German full professors and I don't see anything here that goes beyond that, or anything in the citation record that would justify WP:PROF#C1 notability.

  • Keep. I love being misrepresented. My edit summary was actually: deprod; appears to hold an established chair. I didn't mention a named chair, as I am misquoted as doing. An established chair, as David Eppstein points out, is one that always exists, is only held by one individual at a time, and to which one is appointed, as opposed to a personal chair, which is merely an academic promotion to professorial rank (usually for long service) with no actual established chair attached. Named chairs (which are just established chairs that have the name of an individual or organisation attached, either because they funded the chair or in their honour) are relatively rare outside North America, where they seem to be the norm for established chairs. But he does hold an established chair (the Chair of Logic and Philosophy of Language). These are equivalent to named chairs and therefore meet WP:PROF #5. Many professors who already hold personal chairs are later appointed to established chairs, which are most definitely more prestigious. Wikipedia does not revolve around the American way of doing things, which is why PROF #5 quite clearly states "or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon". -- Necrothesp ( talk) 07:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep as Necrothesp says, holding an established chair (as opposed to a personal one) in Germany, a country that does not have named chairs, fulfils criterion No. 5 of WP:NPROF. Judging from the phrasing in the article, I wasn't sure whether the is the case with Niebergall, but source No. 3 explicitly states that he is the Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Logik und Sprachphilosophie, which translates to 'holder of the chair for logic and the philosophy of language', a significant difference to just 'professor' for these subjects.

A declined PROD. Should never really have been a BLP as the subject's notability is tied to a climbing record that was never in itself notable. Coverage is limited to the recording of him holding the time record at a given moment, but nothing else beyond that. No SIGCOV of coverage on the person as a notable individual in any quality RS.

Nominating on behalf of an IP. Rationale is as follows: Article fails WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV. If you look at the sources you can see there's barely any actual coverage on the person himself. There seems to be more on promoting dao5 which isn't even notable enough to have it own article. And that's assuming you can even use such sources which I don't think is possible since they seem to not be independent. A few are flat out interviews which cannot be considered independent.

    And you can disagree without plain making things up. You are repeatedly claiming that spurious grounds are actually represented in notability criteria. You have repeatedly claimed that there has never been a case on Wikipedia where an article on a judicial nominee has been deleted. And you have repeatedly refused to demonstrate links to the former, or any evidence whatsoever of the latter.

    This is -- me not being afraid of answering questions -- why I took time to look at your page. It is common practice at ANI to survey the records of involved parties, especially when they're making extraordinary claims. I am not the first, nor the first hundredth, editor to do so. That record was what led some of us to conclude that you were tossing out spurious notability grounds and making wild claims out of inexperience. Your assertion that you are using an alternate account, and that you are actually a veteran editor, takes that excuse out of play. There are few other reasons for your repeated refusal to answer those questions. I struck that because it's gotten a whole lot more serious. You making up headlines to mislead participants in the Garnett AfD [11] is not only reprehensible, that sort of shenanigans is the reason why some of us are careful about checking evidence.

You will further note that having published statements in patent law is not listed, and I assure you that there are hundreds and thousands of patent law attorneys that can claim that much. The applicable notability criterion that McMillion would need to meet is having been a judge at the statewide level or higher. As it happens, McMillion is not, and has never been, a judge.

  • Comment I asked for the AfD to be resumed because I didn’t believe the speedy delete criteria were met, and because there seems to be a passionate fandom for this group, which seemingly has a long history, and has been described by fans as “the godfathers of South African rock” and “legendary” in the non-RS sources I found. WP:BEFORE may have been tricky, because the band named themselves after a Jimmy Jimi Hendrix song album. I found a Google Books source ("History of Contemporary Music of South Africa - Part 1 - Page 7") that states "They play heavy Hendrix - ZZ Top influenced music and have been around for years . Originally , they were known as the Sasons . They live on a farm , outside Johannesburg and are living proof to the maxim - " you never get old with rock ..." [12] I found these YouTube videos [13] [14] [15] and Facebook posts [16] [17]. None of the social media posts are, of course WP:RS, I’m not voting keep, so this isn’t a WP:TMBS argument and as it stands there would be very little choice but to delete the article. I’ve personally never heard of them (they’re from before my time, my parents were Bee Gees and Beatles fans) but editors may be able to dig up something in WP:RS about this group. It’s a long shot given how hard it is to find SA sources, and the low participation but there may be something out there. Also this article should probably be moved to Band O’ Gypsys EDIT: another editor found a number of results when Googling for: "band o' gypsys" site:rock.co.za" EDIT 2: They were interviewed on a national radio station (Radio Today) in 2006 [18]. I found this SA rock legends "family tree" that mentions them [19]. African Music Magazine had a 2004 writeup about an album release that said "they were the family band that ruled the SA heavy metal scene in years gone by" [20] and they seem to have been selected in some sort of fan competition for the Oppikoppi 10th anniversary show [21]. I don't know if these add up to notability or even if these sources qualify as WP:RS, but I'll dig some more - there seems to be an obsession with gypsies in the metal world, which makes it quite hard to filter. EDIT 3: Found this 1998 reference to them on USENET [22]. Again, not a RS, but definitely supports the notion that they existed and were popular. If the article is deleted and recreated, that should at least save it from another WP:SPEEDY. Park3r ( talk) 16:43, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
The article says they formed in 1962, so they cannot possibly be named after the Jimi (not Jimmy) Hendrix album (not song), which was released in 1970. This indicates the dangers of unreliable Internet chatter about stuff from long ago, and I would bet that both the formation year and the Hendrix connection are wrong. Blogs and YouTube comments are useless for verification purposes. However, I will affirm the last person's point on how the article misspells the band's name, as it should be "Band O' Gypsys" (apostrophe after the O). --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 17:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply

I found a MusicBrainz page stating that the singer's name is Peter Pulvenis, so I tried searching for him in conjunction with the band. All I can find is a hodgepodge of contradictions and wispy speculation in unknown blogs and the comments sections for videos. I see formation dates ranging from 1959 to 1965, multiple spellings of their name, and anachronistic allusions to being named "after" the Hendrix album (see above). I also found a Facebook post announcing that Pulvenis died in 2019, making me wonder if the band is truly still active. If the survivors are still playing rock today when they're probably in their mid-80s, good for them but someone in the reliable media is going to have to notice. As an old band, they might have been noticed in pre-Internet books and newspapers, but via targeted searches I can find nothing beyond the brief listing of their existence in the book found by the last commenter. In closing (finally), they really existed, they have directory listings at sites like Discogs.com, and occasional live appearances in recent years generated some basic social media chatter. But if they're so "legendary" in their country they would not be so invisible today. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 18:08, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
The fact that they’re low profile/“invisible” today isn’t surprising. They almost certainly played for whites-only audiences at segregated venues. Their fans would be quite old (55+) and many would have emigrated from SA or died by now. They seem to have played well into the 2000s, so I'm striking my last sentence. South Africa has experienced massive cultural shifts in recent decades, and a bunch of old white rockers, alive or dead, and no matter how popular they once were (bearing in mind WP:NTEMP) simply wouldn’t have much of a mainstream profile in contemporary South Africa. Park3r ( talk) 18:20, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
That's exactly the problem, because here we need something to write about, in the form of facts that can be reliably verified.

I never said otherwise. If no WP:RS that support the relevant inclusion criteria can be found then of course the article should be deleted. Park3r ( talk) 15:41, 1 July 2023 (UTC) reply
Sorry if this looks like an argument, but you're the one who requested that the speedy delete be overturned in favor of a fuller discussion in which you have largely agreed with deletion anyway. This has turned out to be unnecessarily bureaucratic, and that original speedy delete would not have prevented someone from creating a new article for this band in the future if they could demonstrate reliable sources after their own research. But will that ever happen? You, me, the nominator of the current AfD, and those involved in the original speedy delete have found nothing, and yet here we are still talking about it. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 14:26, 2 July 2023 (UTC) reply
The speedy delete nomination was flawed because the person who asked for the Speedy Delete seemed to be confused about the difference between WP:SPEEDY and WP:PROD, [23] and the AFD had already started. You, me, and the original nominator are not the only people who might be able to salvage the article or find sources, and we've already had a new editor try: [24] (and I haven't actually stopped looking yet, see above). I don't think allowing a WP:SPEEDY on flawed grounds to short-circuit the AFD process is a good idea, WP:NOTBURO or not. If, at the end of the AFD, no WP:RS are found (by any editors, not just me or you) then the article should be deleted. I added a Book reference to the article already as well, and that can be evaluated. Park3r ( talk) 00:10, 3 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep

Nominees for lifetime appointments to the federal bench & announced on the White House official home page are notable for that reason alone. Most nominees have numerous other reasons they are notable without the announcement, otherwise they wouldn't make it to that point. Even if the nomination fails it receives numerous headlines & therefore the person is still notable.

    But the "as usual" thing to do is let the nominees page remain & not move it to draftification. President Biden has nominated 176 federal judicial nominees. Four of them have been withdrawn yet out of 176, only two had their pages taken down. One was Jorge Rodriguez who was no longer a nominee because the judge he was nominated to replace withdrew their senior status. The other was Tiffany Cartwright who I still to this day do not understand why her page was moved to Draft. But even in her case she has not been confirmed yet & her page has been reinstated. President Trump nominated more then 230 judges & all of them kept their page from the time of nomination. Moving or deleting a federal judicial nominee's page is literally the opposite of "as usual" respectively.

Mehalchick has been regularly reported on since at least 2006 when Pennsylvania's state bar association named her as its "best young lawyer" of the year. In addition, the position for which she has been nominated by the President of the United States will have the potential power to significantly impact a majority of Pennsylvania residents.

  • Delete I considered tagging WP:A7 because it has "no credible indication of notability", but decided against it because of the topic (it’s not about a real person, individual animal, commercial or non-commercial organization, web content, or organized event - "web content" would be dubious since at its core it is a software/protocol proposal). That being said, there are no sources, hence no notability, hence zap it.
However, note that even sources that say the proposal is crap could establish notability. For instance this is in-depth and independent of the subject (but probably not reliable, it’s a random company’s blog).
@ Kin kad: Please stop discussing the merits of the proposal, those are irrelevant. We are not going to evaluate those for ourselves. If you want the article to be kept, you need to provide sources that are (1) independent of the subject, (2) reliable, and (3) describe it at length. If it’s the best RfC ever but nobody said anything about it, it’s not notable and it does not belong to Wikipedia.

This article had tons of puffery in it, and it just feels like it's a corporate profile that was written with significant COI problems. The sources are VERY weak, and these are not within the standards expected to Wiki.

Article about a mayor, not reliably sourced as the subject of sufficient coverage to pass WP:NPOL #2. As always, mayors are not all "inherently" notable just because they exist -- the notability test for a mayor requires significant coverage that enables us to write a substantive article about her political impact: specific things she did, specific projects she spearheaded, specific effects her mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But all that's here is two footnotes verifying her declaration of her candidacy and her swearing-in as mayor, which is not enough.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when a stronger, more informative and better-referenced article can be written, but just stating and minimally sourcing that she exists as a mayor is not enough in and of itself. Bearcat ( talk) 00:49, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. The last eight mayors of Springfield, Illinois have articles and only Karen Hasara would be considered notable under the notability guidelines for politicians. There's a reason. Generally, locally significant politicians can pass GNG. Springfield is the state's capital, the central city of a metropolitan statistical area, and has 100,000+ residents. I think this is a case of a need to improve the article rather than delete the article.-- Mpen320 ( talk) 03:48, 21 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to List of mayors of Springfield, Illinois - coverage is all WP:ROUTINE coverage of a local politician running for office. The past mayors of the city having pages is not a rationale for keeping an article... There is always going to be routine coverage of local elections. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 12:43, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    What is routine coverage? WP:SBST, a subsection of our main notability guideline, says this:
    • "For example, routine news coverage such as press releases, public announcements, sports coverage, and tabloid journalism is not significant coverage."
    WP:SIGCOV (a.k.a. WP:GNG, gives the rationale, which I believe clinches the argument for this article:
    • "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
    This definitely applies to this mayor -- there is substantial independent coverage of her in multiple reliable sources to support this article.
    WP:ROUTINE is a subsection of Wikipedia:Notability (events). Mayor Buscher is not an event.
    Wikipedia:Notability (people) is instead the applicable guideline. Here's what the guideline says at the very top ("Basic criteria"):
    • "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."
      • "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability."
    WP:NPOL is the subsection of Wikipedia:Notability (people) that mentions politicians. Referring to local politicians it says:
    • "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline."
    The article cites full-length reliable, independent news coverage of this mayor.
    These are our guidelines and they're what the closing admin will use to decide this case
    -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count) 16:53, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    True the mayor isn't an event, but it's been held over and over again at AfD that WP:ROUTINE applies to news coverage of any topic in Wikipedia, and there's no distinguishing news coverage here. SportingFlyer T· C 09:59, 26 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    SportingFlyer, I can only go by what our guidelines say. That's what the closing administrator will use. I suggest if you don't like these guidelines, that you propose a change; you can cite these AfDs you're talking about.
    -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count) 22:23, 26 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    @ SportingFlyer - I just re-read my comment above and thought it probably sounded snarky. That was not my intent.
    When I said that stuff about changing guidelines, I meant that for real - it's a discussion worth having elsewhere (perhaps as an RfC at the Village Pump) to settle this issue (i.e., guidelines don't match actual recent practice). I think it's suboptimal when practice doesn't match our guidelines -- either change the guideline or reinforce its use as already written.
    I didn't mean it in the sense of "go away" but it looks that way when I look at it now.
    -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count) 01:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    Mayors need more than routine local coverage to be kept at AfD. I don't know why I'd need an RfC to change that rule - it's just what we've always done, take a look at some of the archives. SportingFlyer T· C 09:38, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to the list of mayors as per above - mayors do not have inherent political notability, and there's nothing demonstrating she's received any notability from non- WP:ROUTINE coverage outside the city she's been in charge of, so she doesn't meet WP:GNG.

  • Keep, largely per A. B.'s analysis above. I don't think there is any serious question that the GNG is met here.

  • Redirect to BulletBoys. I acknowledge that this discussion will be made more complicated by #6 at WP:MUSICBIO, because Sweda has been a member of two notable bands. But note that the first sentence of WP:MUSICBIO says that someone may be notable for any of the following reasons, not definitely notable. Sweda has done little of note outside of those two bands and there is nothing to discuss in his own article except repeats of basic history already described at the bands' articles. As for where to redirect, he was indeed in King Kobra but he receives more coverage as a founding and constant member of the more successful BulletBoys. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 14:25, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Yeah, thats what i had initially done. But then a single-purpose account, likely Sweda himself, popped up to remove the redirect without an explanation and restore the article -- FMSky ( talk) 21:57, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per Mbdfar (although he did say Weak keep) and WP:HEY. I found three secondary reliable sources to back up most of what was already in the article, one of which goes into much detail about the subject or his family. I also added new sourced information that wasn't there previously, and made things more wiki-friendly. Note that there are many sources mentioning the subject as part of BulletBoys, but those are mostly passing mentions and therefore not really useful for a biography. But I think much of what is included now would not fit well in either of the band articles. StonyBrook babble 22:45, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply
I acknowledge your efforts to improve the article, but I think it's telling that you were able to find only one source that talks about any of Sweda's works outside of BulletBoys and King Kobra, and that was in his hometown newspaper (Merced). Perhaps not enough to qualify for "significant" coverage at WP:SIGCOV, but I will accept the consensus of others in this discussion. Also, the fact that he has a wife and son is not particularly encyclopedic even though a newspaper said it. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 14:47, 19 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Keep. ESTREAM is one of the major crypto competitions, the article is not much different from other articles about crypto competitions, such as NIST hash function competition, Advanced Encryption Standard process, CAESAR Competition etc. Relying on primary sources is a problem, sources should definitely be improved. Clicking on "books" and "scholar" at the top of this discussion gives a lot of additional sources, but for "news" and "google" searches one has to add an additional keyword to filter out unrelated stuff (e.g. adding "cipher" keyword works).

Worth noting, by the way, that those viewership numbers are not sourced. They are mentioned in the reception section, but neither of the sources in that section mention those numbers. And viewership numbers alone, regardless of whether they're verifiable, don't necessarily translate to notability if the series isn't getting coverage from independent reliable sources.

Define what is considered "notable"?
Using Sam Hyde as a primary source showing his analytics page, we can see that 57,000 active users are all, at the same time, watching a new medium of livestreaming that has never been accomplished before, during its debut. Furthermore, we can see from subsequent advertisements of the show on the Sam and Nick's Perfect Clips YouTube channel (This is the official YouTube channel) that viewership on the trailer is 333k views, with fishtank.live viewership in the early portions of the show being between 10-24k. If we really want to be pedantic about the whole "notability" situation, we can probably get Jet Neptune or Sam Hyde to publish the analytics numbers as a primary source.

I would also like to note that Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources says that "Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability". When notability is at issue, which it is here, then primary sources like a TV host's self-reported viewership numbers do not contribute to solving that issue. And I don't think subject-matter expertise is relevant here either; that's usually reserved for academic material or art criticism. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 03:01, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I find that the article, while somewhat lacking in length and depth due to a short lifespan, should be preserved. It is not too dissimilar from other projects such as The Jerma985 Dollhouse, and barring the claimed controversial nature of the creator (a factor that should not play any significant role in the decision process as per WP:NPOV) I see no reason that undue scrutiny should be placed on this article as opposed to its contemporaries. Furthermore, while the issue of citing primary sources is obvious, it is hard to gauge internal statistics otherwise; in cases where the content is directly hosted on a website as opposed to a streaming service, unless we are to use external sites such as SimilarWeb, we are inherent limited. Although I understand concerns regarding issues of unreliability, I think that the sources provided overall are able to consistently cover the topic, one which is of similar scope and quality when compared to other projects and entries also found in the livestreams category.
DvcDeBlvngis ( talk) 06:30, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
The Jerma985 Dollhouse's coverage is from a significant list of reliable publications, and it won a notable award. These things are not equal, and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS does not count. And I've never made any claims about the creator or his supposedly controversial nature, nor would I disagree to the irrelevance of that factor.
As for the viewership numbers that respondents keep obsessing over, let me be clear about this: If those numbers aren't being covered by reliable publications, then do they even matter? We have guidelines such as WP:SINGLEVENDOR which make clear that if numbers aren't being reported on then they aren't worth including, and I think the same notion applies here. That the numbers in question here aren't even sourced to begin with makes the whole argument behind them look really weak. They aren't even verified, let alone by a publication which could confirm their value. They're a moot point without that. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 06:45, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
You offer no solutions through your assessment, which is quite telling. This was obviously a notable event and show, the YouTube and Twitter numbers undeniably reflect that, it is disingenuous to insinuate otherwise, more so if you consider Sam’s Follower/Subscriber count AND the fact that he is the biggest streamer on YouTube behind Tim Poole. It’s not an alien concept that they could garner a fraction of their total following at any one moment. Let’s be serious for a moment, please.

The solution is to redirect to Sam Hyde's page, which I stated above. And I've been entirely serious throughout this entire process; I'm explaining how Wikipedia handles these matters, and unfortunately, regardless of your claims, these things need to meet notability requirements. What you're asking is for me to let this be kept based on your claims of Hyde's online success, but that assumption not backed up by reliable sources amounts to original research which is not allowed. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 20:12, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Why should it be redirected to Sam's page when it's a separate thing entirely? It's related to Sam and it should be noteworthy on his page, but Fishtank itself deserves its own page because it was a huge group project far bigger than any one individual. The viewers were substantial and their veracity isn't being questioned by anyone here other than you, funny that. Clearly the reason being because you are a self described 'queer' and you are trying to censor a guy who has been censored for years due to some of his more uncouth behaviour. You are doing so because you believe the permeation of his content is bad for society. C00l, whatever, nobody else cares. Everybody here on this comment discussion can see that you're just an irked bozo that doesn't want Sam Hyde to get any more exposure than he has already had. Not that there's anything wrong with that or that it matters in the slightest, but at least make your intentions known - they're very obvious anyway.

Not even QuietHere is denying the numbers, it's just that views are simply completely irrelevant to whether the article should be kept - what Wikipedia cares about is not big numbers, but in-depth reliable sourcing. You are not helping your case by calling into question people for being queer or by calling those who disagree with you "irked bozos". Please see Wikipedia:No personal attacks. Alduin2000 ( talk) 15:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC) reply
They were denying the authenticity of the numbers further up the chain, or at least calling them into question. What is not reliable about fishtank? Nobody is questioning it happened or the veracity of the figures cited, there are hundreds upon hundreds of hours of footage of it on YouTube and Twitter. What exactly isn't reliably sourced within the current article? Queer people do not like Sam Hyde, I should know given I am also Queer, and I do not like Sam Hyde because he is heavily bigoted :) What I do not like is people that clearly have agendas. 2A00:23C4:108:BB01:4261:5382:E201:8470 ( talk) 22:51, 9 June 2023 (UTC) reply
I was calling the numbers in question because there's no source backing them up. There is no veracity behind them if someone just wrote 'em down, and given how many apparent Sam Hyde fans this ordeal has attracted, those numbers are even less reliable because they could've been fudged. And since those numbers have been the only thing close to a legitimate point of argument anyone voting keep on this has made (to which WP:BIGNUMBER is very relevant), I've had nothing else to discuss in this.

    1. What would make this a non-event? Sounds like a livestream would fit the definition to me.
    2. Guidelines aren't just for the very specific things they're designed to target. They all give us a better understanding of Wikipedia generally, and their logic can usually be applied generally because the site is meant to be as consistent as is reasonable.
    3. Take note of how WP:PERSISTENCE links directly to WP:SUSTAINED which is part of the main notability page and is saying essentially the same thing. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 08:08, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply

    That is unfortunate, however, as far as I am aware there is no established link between Fishtank and the WIN Group. As well, the site has a separate category for livestreaming, which the article in question was filed under. Said category covers a multitude of various streaming culture related topics on various platforms, from Twitch to Kick. While not exactly being the best look, unless a definitive link is established between Fishtank and WIN Group, I think we should not go out and assume that it is a non-independent promotional article.

List of night vision devices

This list article has a few problems, the most serious of which is that it has no sources. It also does not indicate what the criterion is for inclusion, and so does not satisfy list notability. The criterion isn't having a Wikipedia article, since some of the entries are not linked to articles. This list was moved to draft space by User:BoyTheKingCanDance with the statement that it has no sources (because it has no sources). It was then moved back to article space by its creator without adding sources. This is a contested draftification and so is being sent to AFD. Robert McClenon ( talk) 05:08, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Comment the lack of sourcing is a red-herring. Our List of botanists, for example, has no sources, and rightly so: it's a navigational aid to find articles on notable botanists, and all the sourcing required to establish that they are botanists and notable is to be found in the articles on each botanist. The question is whether we really need a navigational aid to find articles on individual night-vision devices. Lists can also be useful to keep articles on the general topic more concise, but since our article on night-vision devices already lists everything, mixed up with the text, this stand-alone list isn't achieving anything particularly useful. Also stand-alone navigational lists shouldn't contain items that don't have a corresponding article. Elemimele ( talk) 06:06, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I generally prefer lists to categories, but this list is not in a good state yet. Either this ends up no different from Category:Night vision devices, or it adds red links, or the non-linked entries need sources so they aren't removed. — siro χ o 09:43, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per siro's point above. This list already exists as a category and has nothing to add to that category. Night vision devices that are notable will end up in the category, while non-notable devices don't really belong in the list anyway, because they end up running afoul of WP:NOTADVERT and the list specificity requirements.My vote could be swayed under the condition that the list adds something that the category does not while also having strict enough entry requirements to avoid just becoming a list of every night vision device ever invented (or dreamed of, for that matter). -- Licks-rocks ( talk) 12:01, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Couldn't find enough coverage or verify sales/charting mentioned on the artist's page.

  • Keep, I think; but could use some help from a Korean-language speaker. It charted at #22 (debuted there and never went higher); and it got coverage in Korean-language news (e.g., [40]; [41]; [42]) (She's sometimes identified in Korea as "지나" rather than "G.NA", which helps a little on googling.) I think those satisfy a couple of the factors in WP:NALBUM (1. "been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works..."; and 2. "has appeared on any country's national music chart").
I'll add the charting; I'm reluctant to add the news coverage, since I don't read Korean and would need to rely on machine translation. TJRC ( talk) 02:55, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Article about a political candidate, not properly sourced as having a strong notability claim. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they didn't win -- the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. To qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia rather, a candidate must show that either (a) he already has preexisting notability for some other reasons (e.g. having held a different notable office, having established notability in another career independently of politics) that would already have secured inclusion in Wikipedia anyway, or (b) he has a credible claim to being a special case whose candidacy should be seen as uniquely more notable than other people's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance.
But neither of those things is in evidence here: there's no serious claim that he was notable for other reasons besides an unsuccessful election campaign, the writing shades into "campaign brochure" territory by spending entirely too much time on his political opinions, and the referencing consists of a small smattering of the purely run of the mill campaign coverage that every candidate in every election can always show, which hardly constitutes evidence that he's more notable than other candidates.
This previously existed as a redirect to the election he ran in, before being converted into this yesterday -- so no prejudice against restoration of the redirect, but this should be stricken from the edit history first. There's just nothing here that's "inherently" notable at all. Bearcat ( talk) 02:57, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - I don't have time to research sources but I'll note that he got attention in the Lower 48. Even I recognized the name going down the list of todays AfDs. I think you'll find enough sources in the way of general profiles, etc. to build an article. Losing candidates don't normally get articles but nothing rules it out if they meet WP:GNG.

Ok, I just looked at a translation of the German article. It's got some puffery. There is one substantial German-language article cited that's about Heléne Huby.

  • Keep Jeffrey Cummings; move to draft as to the rest. These articles raise an interesting conundrum. If these nominations are confirmed, as the substantial majority of federal judicial nominations eventually are, then notability will be automatic. If the unlikely event that any of these nominations are rejected in a Senate vote, that in itself would be a point in favor of the notability of the subjects. If these linger until the end of the administration and are never acted on, I don't think they confer notability thereby, but would be some evidence of notability in combination with other information on the subjects that might be found. Among these subjects, there is some coverage of notable rulings made by Cummings as a magistrate, and I think that one can likely stand as an article as is. The rest can be moved to draft for further research and/or developments. BD2412 T 03:29, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Article about an entrepreneur that fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. The sources are mostly passing mentions of the subject. The position he holds does not confer notability on the subject. Possibly WP:TOOSOON or WP:PROMO. Jamiebuba ( talk) 23:45, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply


  • Keep.

A person who is the head of the Minifootball Association of Nigeria isn’t notable enough because he’s head of a Nigerian Association? You’re expecting me to put ESPN and Goal.com links for a Nigerian football administrator instead of that from the local media? OR aren’t Nigerians allowed to have stubs?

Why are Nigerian pages such easy targets to pull down? Bob Lord (football chairman) is just a football chairman, so why is his page still standing?

I réalisé that most new Wikipedia editors don’t know what they are doing as regards inclusivity and equity in handling different pages from different background.

This reminds me of the time when someone went through all the pages I created and nominated for deletion all the Nigerian pages but left any page that I created of subjects of European or American descent.

I am a big supporter of sticking to the path of Wikipedia that you are familiar with. They are so many things to do on Wikipedia to help the community, scoring cheap points by pulling down pages of an already vulnerable demographic reeks of weakness and sycophancy. Don’t just meander into facets you aren’t familiar with. And y’all need to do better Amaekuma ( talk) 23:56, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Article about semi-pro/amateur journeyman footballer which doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG. Fataki has never played football at a high-level; stints in the Belgian Second Division and Albanian Kategoria Superiore represent the "peaks" of his career. As a journeyman who has played for many clubs throughout Europe and Africa, there is a lot of routine coverage available (almost all of it consisting of match reports and transfer news/speculation). However, I cannot locate in-depth coverage in reliable sources that is independent of the subject; the best source I could find is an ADIAC transfer news piece that contains a paragraph recap of his career. Unfortunately, none of the sources included in the article now or that I found in my WP:BEFORE search could be paired with it to satisfy the GNG. References 1-13 are either not independent (his employers Balma SC, MDA Foot, FC Rouen), not reliable (Walfoot, Footpy) or routine (Le Foot, Gazeta Panorama x2, ADIAC, Gazeta Gerçek). External links 1, 2, 4 and 5 are not independent (Balma SC and FC Rouen again), not reliable (Walfoot again) or are interviews that contain almost zero secondary coverage (Actufoot). External link 3 (Paris-Normandie) is an interview with some secondary coverage but no byline. It mentions his performance in a trial friendly match (hardly notable) and the briefest of mentions of his footballing origins. I found plenty of other match reports, transfer news and interviews (Sud-Ouest, Footdrc.com) that are not SIGCOV, so I just can't see how this article meets our guidelines. If we think this sort of low-quality coverage is sufficient, the result will be that almost every semi-pro or amateur footballer with a lengthy or journeyman career can have an article.

  • Delete. Can't find any SIGCOV of him. 〜 Festucalex • talk 10:17, 23 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. As an initial side note, WP:PERP seems to be rather confused about itself, and links out to WP:WELLKNOWN for its criterion for being "well-known". But WELLKNOWN is part of BLP and is focused on "public figure" as a privacy standard. I'm not sure that's coherent enough to try to follow, but in any event, for the following reasons, I'd say it is safe to say that Schecroun is/was well-known in that sense. For starters, his 1962 arrest and confession attracted massive worldwide attention (e.g. Reuters, UPI, NYTNS). That was certainly the peak of his fame, but it wasn't entirely the end of it. For example, in 1974 he was featured in an Omnibus episode titled "Don't Take It For Granted", in which he apparently showed how forgery is done. Jeppson gave him a three-page profile with some excellent biographical detail in Fabulous Frauds (1970). Catherine Dossin has briefer but nontrivial coverage in The Rise and Fall of American Art (Routledge, 2016). I have reached my personal limit for the night but I have no sense of being anywhere near running out of coverage. -- Visviva ( talk) 04:06, 24 June 2023 (UTC) reply

I don't see any evidence that the subject passes WP:NPROF or GNG. Assistant professors are rarely notable and this doesn't seem to be an exception - his most highly cited paper has 65 citations, which is far from satisfying WP:NPROF#C1, especially in a high-citation field. The citations in the article comprise primary sources, his own works, and news items in which he provides a quote in passing - there's no independent biographical coverage of the subject himself. The article appears to have been the subject of extensive COI/UPE editing, which wouldn't be a reason to delete it if it were actually notable, but which furthers the impression that the topic doesn't meet our standards for inclusion.

  • Keep. Appears to have established notability. "Adjunct professor" has two possible meanings in North America: a status-only appointment, where someone does research and teaching at a university which should be recognized, but is not paid for that work; or someone who is paid by the course to teach (often badly). Even though "adjunct professor" does not give automatic notability, this person's accomplishments (including as a founder of a university program) point to notability.

  • Keep Nominees for lifetime appointments to the federal bench & announced on the White House official home page are notable for that reason alone. Most nominees have numerous other reasons they are notable without the announcement, otherwise they wouldn't make it to that point. Even if the nomination fails it receives numerous headlines & therefore the person is still notable. MIAJudges ( talk) 07:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    As you know, there is in fact no notability criterion granting presumptive notability to a nominee to the bench, nor to someone mentioned on the White House website. Whether or not the subject is destined to receive "numerous headlines," the fact is that as of yet, she has not. Ravenswing 06:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    I am not understanding how the president of the United States nominating somebody to a lifetime appointment to a co-equal branch of the government & including a bio of them in the announcement not enough to make a person notable. The nominee is covered by numerous media outlets across the country once the announcement is made.
    MIAJudges ( talk) 06:14, 1 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    Then let me explain it to you. On Wikipedia, notability is determined through meeting one or more of several notability guidelines: in this case, for instance, by meeting WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV or WP:POLITICIAN. SIGCOV is the key here: it is not sufficient for a source (however reliable) to say "President Biden sent Soandso's name to the Senate for nomination." SIGCOV goes into some detail about what's needed, but the gist is that a source needs to discuss the subject -- not the nominating process, not President Biden, not the Senate Judiciary Committee, the subject -- in "significant detail," so that an article could be credibly made from that source alone.

    And that is it. I've told you a couple of times over that there are no other pertinent, explicit criteria. I have challenged you a couple times over to demonstrate that there is pertinent, explicit criteria such as you describe. We do not make determinations based on what you think should be in the criteria were you the one making the rules here. We make them based on the notability criteria already in place. Period.

    In the German system, full professors are generally chair of something. Niebergall is Chair of Logic and Philosophy of Language [5]. Whether that should be considered as equivalent to the sort of named chair that one might have in a US university is unclear to me. I have been told that there is a difference between established chairs (that are held by multiple people in sequence) and personal chairs (given only to one person as a way to list them as full professor) and that one is better than the other, but I don't really understand the distinction myself nor how to tell which one Niebergall has. Perhaps there is someone more familiar with German academia who can clarify. — David Eppstein ( talk) 01:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak delete. I'm not willing to extend automatic notability to all German full professors and I don't see anything here that goes beyond that, or anything in the citation record that would justify WP:PROF#C1 notability. The Stegmüller Award is an early-career award [6] that I think is too low-level for notability. — David Eppstein ( talk) 20:11, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    • Changing to weak keep now that the distinction between established and personal chairs has been clarified and we have documentation that he holds the more prestigious kind. — David Eppstein ( talk) 20:46, 3 July 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I love being misrepresented. My edit summary was actually: deprod; appears to hold an established chair. I didn't mention a named chair, as I am misquoted as doing. An established chair, as David Eppstein points out, is one that always exists, is only held by one individual at a time, and to which one is appointed, as opposed to a personal chair, which is merely an academic promotion to professorial rank (usually for long service) with no actual established chair attached. Named chairs (which are just established chairs that have the name of an individual or organisation attached, either because they funded the chair or in their honour) are relatively rare outside North America, where they seem to be the norm for established chairs. But he does hold an established chair (the Chair of Logic and Philosophy of Language). These are equivalent to named chairs and therefore meet WP:PROF #5. Many professors who already hold personal chairs are later appointed to established chairs, which are most definitely more prestigious. Wikipedia does not revolve around the American way of doing things, which is why PROF #5 quite clearly states "or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon". -- Necrothesp ( talk) 07:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep as Necrothesp says, holding an established chair (as opposed to a personal one) in Germany, a country that does not have named chairs, fulfils criterion No. 5 of WP:NPROF. Judging from the phrasing in the article, I wasn't sure whether the is the case with Niebergall, but source No. 3 explicitly states that he is the Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Logik und Sprachphilosophie, which translates to 'holder of the chair for logic and the philosophy of language', a significant difference to just 'professor' for these subjects.

There seems to be more on promoting dao5 which isn't even notable enough to have it own article.

I took a look, and while some potential sources exist, they don't seem to be enough to establish this incarnation as a separate article. Thus, this article currently does not meet the GNG or SIGCOV.

There is nothing really demonstrating that the particular version of the Doctor that appeared in it is notable in his own right so that a spinout article is needed, and pretty much all of the information regarding the development and the question of canonicity of the character is already covered in the main article of the series.

Delete. Candidates for political office does not confer notability; even a candidate for Congress. By analogy, a nomination for judgeship does not either. Nor does education, experience as a lawyer, or appointment as a magistrate. Kablammo ( talk) 13:35, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominees for lifetime appointments to the federal bench & announced on the White House official home page are notable for that reason alone. Most nominees have numerous other reasons they are notable without the announcement, otherwise they wouldn't make it to that point.

Per the WP:USCJN section on U.S. District Court judges, "Nominees whose nomination has not yet come to a vote are not inherently notable.

    The tone in your response is really unnecessary. You can argue your viewpoint without resorting to calling the views of somebody who differs with yours "BS" & hoping "the closing admin ignores entirely". You wrote on the AFD that you have 19 years at Wikipedia. I would expect somebody with your experience to stick to the matter at hand without those types of shots being thrown. It's really not necessary. Feel free to review the advice you gave another user in the past...

    I have no problem with a difference of opinion. You are entitled to that. I have a problem with calling other volunteers opinions “BS” & saying they should be ignored. So I stand by your statement you sent to the other user I linked above. You can disagree without being disagreeable & I would expect somebody who touts their 19 years of Wikipedia seniority as much as you do to do so.
    Since you took the time to look at my page per your incident comments on the AFD (I still don’t know why) I took the time to look at yours. I see I’m not the first person to mention this to you. Stick to arguing your position & drop the vulgarities & personalizing your attacks & you will be living by the advice you gave I mentioned above.
    MIAJudges ( talk) 17:39, 4 July 2023 (UTC) reply
    And you can disagree without plain making things up. You are repeatedly claiming that spurious grounds are actually represented in notability criteria. You have repeatedly claimed that there has never been a case on Wikipedia where an article on a judicial nominee has been deleted. And you have repeatedly refused to demonstrate links to the former, or any evidence whatsoever of the latter.

    This is -- me not being afraid of answering questions -- why I took time to look at your page. It is common practice at ANI to survey the records of involved parties, especially when they're making extraordinary claims. I am not the first, nor the first hundredth, editor to do so. That record was what led some of us to conclude that you were tossing out spurious notability grounds and making wild claims out of inexperience. Your assertion that you are using an alternate account, and that you are actually a veteran editor, takes that excuse out of play. There are few other reasons for your repeated refusal to answer those questions. I struck that because it's gotten a whole lot more serious. You making up headlines to mislead participants in the Garnett AfD [11] is not only reprehensible, that sort of shenanigans is the reason why some of us are careful about checking evidence. You want to explain yourself, and you want to do it fast. Ravenswing 06:06, 5 July 2023 (UTC) reply

    Well, no. You didn't. You added a quote from the now-defunct Encarta, mentioned in the lead of WP:BIO. The actual, explicit criterion for WP:JUDGE is "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels."

    You will note, as I assume the closing admin will, that having an engineering or a science degree is not listed. You will also note that having a law degree is not listed. You will further note that having published statements in patent law is not listed, and I assure you that there are hundreds and thousands of patent law attorneys that can claim that much. The applicable notability criterion that McMillion would need to meet is having been a judge at the statewide level or higher. As it happens, McMillion is not, and has never been, a judge. I stand on my statement above: that you need to advocate based on the notability criteria in place, not on what you wish the criteria would read if you were the one making the rules.

  • Comment I asked for the AfD to be resumed because I didn’t believe the speedy delete criteria were met, and because there seems to be a passionate fandom for this group, which seemingly has a long history, and has been described by fans as “the godfathers of South African rock” and “legendary” in the non-RS sources I found. WP:BEFORE may have been tricky, because the band named themselves after a Jimmy Jimi Hendrix song album. I found a Google Books source ("History of Contemporary Music of South Africa - Part 1 - Page 7") that states "They play heavy Hendrix - ZZ Top influenced music and have been around for years . Originally , they were known as the Sasons . They live on a farm , outside Johannesburg and are living proof to the maxim - " you never get old with rock ..." [12] I found these YouTube videos [13] [14] [15] and Facebook posts [16] [17]. None of the social media posts are, of course WP:RS, I’m not voting keep, so this isn’t a WP:TMBS argument and as it stands there would be very little choice but to delete the article. I’ve personally never heard of them (they’re from before my time, my parents were Bee Gees and Beatles fans) but editors may be able to dig up something in WP:RS about this group. It’s a long shot given how hard it is to find SA sources, and the low participation but there may be something out there. Also this article should probably be moved to Band O’ Gypsys EDIT: another editor found a number of results when Googling for: "band o' gypsys" site:rock.co.za" EDIT 2: They were interviewed on a national radio station (Radio Today) in 2006 [18]. I found this SA rock legends "family tree" that mentions them [19]. African Music Magazine had a 2004 writeup about an album release that said "they were the family band that ruled the SA heavy metal scene in years gone by" [20] and they seem to have been selected in some sort of fan competition for the Oppikoppi 10th anniversary show [21]. I don't know if these add up to notability or even if these sources qualify as WP:RS, but I'll dig some more - there seems to be an obsession with gypsies in the metal world, which makes it quite hard to filter. EDIT 3: Found this 1998 reference to them on USENET [22]. Again, not a RS, but definitely supports the notion that they existed and were popular. If the article is deleted and recreated, that should at least save it from another WP:SPEEDY. Park3r ( talk) 16:43, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
The article says they formed in 1962, so they cannot possibly be named after the Jimi (not Jimmy) Hendrix album (not song), which was released in 1970. This indicates the dangers of unreliable Internet chatter about stuff from long ago, and I would bet that both the formation year and the Hendrix connection are wrong. Blogs and YouTube comments are useless for verification purposes. However, I will affirm the last person's point on how the article misspells the band's name, as it should be "Band O' Gypsys" (apostrophe after the O). --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 17:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
The Google Books source I quoted above states that they were founded as The Sasons, and renamed themselves so there isn’t a contradiction there. As for the rest, I’ll defer to you-Hendrix was long before my time. Park3r ( talk) 17:58, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Searching is tough due to many other things called Band of Gypsys, and the article doesn't help by providing no other info with which to search. I found a MusicBrainz page stating that the singer's name is Peter Pulvenis, so I tried searching for him in conjunction with the band. All I can find is a hodgepodge of contradictions and wispy speculation in unknown blogs and the comments sections for videos. I see formation dates ranging from 1959 to 1965, multiple spellings of their name, and anachronistic allusions to being named "after" the Hendrix album (see above). I also found a Facebook post announcing that Pulvenis died in 2019, making me wonder if the band is truly still active. If the survivors are still playing rock today when they're probably in their mid-80s, good for them but someone in the reliable media is going to have to notice. As an old band, they might have been noticed in pre-Internet books and newspapers, but via targeted searches I can find nothing beyond the brief listing of their existence in the book found by the last commenter. In closing (finally), they really existed, they have directory listings at sites like Discogs.com, and occasional live appearances in recent years generated some basic social media chatter. But if they're so "legendary" in their country they would not be so invisible today. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 18:08, 30 June 2023 (UTC) reply
The fact that they’re low profile/“invisible” today isn’t surprising. They almost certainly played for whites-only audiences at segregated venues. Their fans would be quite old (55+) and many would have emigrated from SA or died by now. They seem to have played well into the 2000s, so I'm striking my last sentence. South Africa has experienced massive cultural shifts in recent decades, and a bunch of old white rockers, alive or dead, and no matter how popular they once were (bearing in mind WP:NTEMP) simply wouldn’t have much of a mainstream profile in contemporary South Africa.

That's exactly the problem, because here we need something to write about, in the form of facts that can be reliably verified.

Sorry if this looks like an argument, but you're the one who requested that the speedy delete be overturned in favor of a fuller discussion in which you have largely agreed with deletion anyway. This has turned out to be unnecessarily bureaucratic, and that original speedy delete would not have prevented someone from creating a new article for this band in the future if they could demonstrate reliable sources after their own research. But will that ever happen?

The speedy delete nomination was flawed because the person who asked for the Speedy Delete seemed to be confused about the difference between WP:SPEEDY and WP:PROD, [23] and the AFD had already started. You, me, and the original nominator are not the only people who might be able to salvage the article or find sources, and we've already had a new editor try: [24] (and I haven't actually stopped looking yet, see above).

    But the "as usual" thing to do is let the nominees page remain & not move it to draftification. President Biden has nominated 176 federal judicial nominees. Four of them have been withdrawn yet out of 176, only two had their pages taken down. One was Jorge Rodriguez who was no longer a nominee because the judge he was nominated to replace withdrew their senior status. The other was Tiffany Cartwright who I still to this day do not understand why her page was moved to Draft. But even in her case she has not been confirmed yet & her page has been reinstated. President Trump nominated more then 230 judges & all of them kept their page from the time of nomination. Moving or deleting a federal judicial nominee's page is literally the opposite of "as usual" respectively.

  • Keep: Per, earlier commenters, the significant news coverage of her legal career by independent, high-quality sources over the years clearly establishes her notability. (The Scranton newspapers cited are not only metropolitan newspapers that cover a major metropolitan area in Pennsylvania, they have a significant readership across the NEPA/northeastern Pennsylvania region, and produce stories that are frequently syndicated and/or used as source materials by major national news outlets. Mehalchick has been regularly reported on since at least 2006 when Pennsylvania's state bar association named her as its "best young lawyer" of the year. In addition, the position for which she has been nominated by the President of the United States will have the potential power to significantly impact a majority of Pennsylvania residents.

The article IPv10 should be deleted for the follow reasons:

  • Most trackable discussions are about whether the proposal is technically serious or a hoax. [25] [26] [27]

  • Delete I considered tagging WP:A7 because it has "no credible indication of notability", but decided against it because of the topic (it’s not about a real person, individual animal, commercial or non-commercial organization, web content, or organized event - "web content" would be dubious since at its core it is a software/protocol proposal). That being said, there are no sources, hence no notability, hence zap it.
However, note that even sources that say the proposal is crap could establish notability. For instance this is in-depth and independent of the subject (but probably not reliable, it’s a random company’s blog).
@ Kin kad: Please stop discussing the merits of the proposal, those are irrelevant. We are not going to evaluate those for ourselves. If you want the article to be kept, you need to provide sources that are (1) independent of the subject, (2) reliable, and (3) describe it at length. If it’s the best RfC ever but nobody said anything about it, it’s not notable and it does not belong to Wikipedia.

Article about a mayor, not reliably sourced as the subject of sufficient coverage to pass WP:NPOL #2. As always, mayors are not all "inherently" notable just because they exist -- the notability test for a mayor requires significant coverage that enables us to write a substantive article about her political impact: specific things she did, specific projects she spearheaded, specific effects her mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But all that's here is two footnotes verifying her declaration of her candidacy and her swearing-in as mayor, which is not enough.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when a stronger, more informative and better-referenced article can be written, but just stating and minimally sourcing that she exists as a mayor is not enough in and of itself. Bearcat ( talk) 00:49, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply

    What is routine coverage? WP:SBST, a subsection of our main notability guideline, says this:
    • "For example, routine news coverage such as press releases, public announcements, sports coverage, and tabloid journalism is not significant coverage."
    WP:SIGCOV (a.k.a. WP:GNG, gives the rationale, which I believe clinches the argument for this article:
    • "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
    This definitely applies to this mayor -- there is substantial independent coverage of her in multiple reliable sources to support this article.
    WP:ROUTINE is a subsection of Wikipedia:Notability (events). Mayor Buscher is not an event.
    Wikipedia:Notability (people) is instead the applicable guideline. Here's what the guideline says at the very top ("Basic criteria"):
    • "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."
      • "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability."
    WP:NPOL is the subsection of Wikipedia:Notability (people) that mentions politicians. Referring to local politicians it says:
    • "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline."
    The article cites full-length reliable, independent news coverage of this mayor.

    @ SportingFlyer - I just re-read my comment above and thought it probably sounded snarky. That was not my intent.
    When I said that stuff about changing guidelines, I meant that for real - it's a discussion worth having elsewhere (perhaps as an RfC at the Village Pump) to settle this issue (i.e., guidelines don't match actual recent practice). I think it's suboptimal when practice doesn't match our guidelines -- either change the guideline or reinforce its use as already written.
    I didn't mean it in the sense of "go away" but it looks that way when I look at it now.

  • Redirect to the list of mayors as per above - mayors do not have inherent political notability, and there's nothing demonstrating she's received any notability from non- WP:ROUTINE coverage outside the city she's been in charge of, so she doesn't meet WP:GNG.

But note that the first sentence of WP:MUSICBIO says that someone may be notable for any of the following reasons, not definitely notable. Sweda has done little of note outside of those two bands and there is nothing to discuss in his own article except repeats of basic history already described at the bands' articles. As for where to redirect, he was indeed in King Kobra but he receives more coverage as a founding and constant member of the more successful BulletBoys. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 14:25, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per Mbdfar (although he did say Weak keep) and WP:HEY. I found three secondary reliable sources to back up most of what was already in the article, one of which goes into much detail about the subject or his family. I also added new sourced information that wasn't there previously, and made things more wiki-friendly. Note that there are many sources mentioning the subject as part of BulletBoys, but those are mostly passing mentions and therefore not really useful for a biography. But I think much of what is included now would not fit well in either of the band articles. StonyBrook babble 22:45, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply
I acknowledge your efforts to improve the article, but I think it's telling that you were able to find only one source that talks about any of Sweda's works outside of BulletBoys and King Kobra, and that was in his hometown newspaper (Merced). Perhaps not enough to qualify for "significant" coverage at WP:SIGCOV, but I will accept the consensus of others in this discussion. Also, the fact that he has a wife and son is not particularly encyclopedic even though a newspaper said it. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 14:47, 19 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Keep. ESTREAM is one of the major crypto competitions, the article is not much different from other articles about crypto competitions, such as NIST hash function competition, Advanced Encryption Standard process, CAESAR Competition etc. Relying on primary sources is a problem, sources should definitely be improved. Clicking on "books" and "scholar" at the top of this discussion gives a lot of additional sources, but for "news" and "google" searches one has to add an additional keyword to filter out unrelated stuff (e.g. adding "cipher" keyword works). ESTREAM is also quite often mentioned in various crypto papers, such as today's NIST report on lightweight crypto.

The result was redirect‎ to Sam Hyde. While there was good-faith support for keep among some less policy-based arguments, a thorough analysis of sources undemined the independence of some sources with extensive coverage. Several !votes were phrased as "delete" rather than "redirect, but beyond bare statements of preference (and some of the delete !votes don't even do that much with respect to redirection), but no argument was given for why a redirect to the target, which already briefly mentions Fishtank, would not be valid. signed, Rosguill talk 03:43, 8 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Worth noting, by the way, that those viewership numbers are not sourced. They are mentioned in the reception section, but neither of the sources in that section mention those numbers. And viewership numbers alone, regardless of whether they're verifiable, don't necessarily translate to notability if the series isn't getting coverage from independent reliable sources. Wikipedia has rules about this stuff for good reason, and if this series doesn't meet those parameters then it's simply not notable. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 00:54, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Define what is considered "notable"?
Using Sam Hyde as a primary source showing his analytics page, we can see that 57,000 active users are all, at the same time, watching a new medium of livestreaming that has never been accomplished before, during its debut. Furthermore, we can see from subsequent advertisements of the show on the Sam and Nick's Perfect Clips YouTube channel (This is the official YouTube channel) that viewership on the trailer is 333k views, with fishtank.live viewership in the early portions of the show being between 10-24k. If we really want to be pedantic about the whole "notability" situation, we can probably get Jet Neptune or Sam Hyde to publish the analytics numbers as a primary source.

I know you might want to say that Twitter isn't a reliable source, but as per Wikipedia:RSP, it is considered generally unreliable UNLESS THE AUTHOR IS A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT. Same thing goes for YouTube. Generally, I know Wikipedia tries to shy away from using YouTube sources, but these are all from the primary source, that being Sam Hyde's official YouTube channel or official Twitter account. Much of the other published content about the show is direct video with voiceover from community members. You should explain how direct recordings of the show itself are not reliable independent sources. 138.88.107.147 ( talk) 02:36, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
For the definition of notability, look here. I would also like to note that Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources says that "Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability". When notability is at issue, which it is here, then primary sources like a TV host's self-reported viewership numbers do not contribute to solving that issue. And I don't think subject-matter expertise is relevant here either; that's usually reserved for academic material or art criticism. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 03:01, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I find that the article, while somewhat lacking in length and depth due to a short lifespan, should be preserved. It is not too dissimilar from other projects such as The Jerma985 Dollhouse, and barring the claimed controversial nature of the creator (a factor that should not play any significant role in the decision process as per WP:NPOV) I see no reason that undue scrutiny should be placed on this article as opposed to its contemporaries. Furthermore, while the issue of citing primary sources is obvious, it is hard to gauge internal statistics otherwise; in cases where the content is directly hosted on a website as opposed to a streaming service, unless we are to use external sites such as SimilarWeb, we are inherent limited. Although I understand concerns regarding issues of unreliability, I think that the sources provided overall are able to consistently cover the topic, one which is of similar scope and quality when compared to other projects and entries also found in the livestreams category.
DvcDeBlvngis ( talk) 06:30, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
The Jerma985 Dollhouse's coverage is from a significant list of reliable publications, and it won a notable award. These things are not equal, and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS does not count. And I've never made any claims about the creator or his supposedly controversial nature, nor would I disagree to the irrelevance of that factor.
As for the viewership numbers that respondents keep obsessing over, let me be clear about this: If those numbers aren't being covered by reliable publications, then do they even matter? We have guidelines such as WP:SINGLEVENDOR which make clear that if numbers aren't being reported on then they aren't worth including, and I think the same notion applies here. That the numbers in question here aren't even sourced to begin with makes the whole argument behind them look really weak. They aren't even verified, let alone by a publication which could confirm their value. They're a moot point without that. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 06:45, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
You offer no solutions through your assessment, which is quite telling. This was obviously a notable event and show, the YouTube and Twitter numbers undeniably reflect that, it is disingenuous to insinuate otherwise, more so if you consider Sam’s Follower/Subscriber count AND the fact that he is the biggest streamer on YouTube behind Tim Poole. It’s not an alien concept that they could garner a fraction of their total following at any one moment. Let’s be serious for a moment, please.

The solution is to redirect to Sam Hyde's page, which I stated above. And I've been entirely serious throughout this entire process; I'm explaining how Wikipedia handles these matters, and unfortunately, regardless of your claims, these things need to meet notability requirements. What you're asking is for me to let this be kept based on your claims of Hyde's online success, but that assumption not backed up by reliable sources amounts to original research which is not allowed. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 20:12, 5 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Why should it be redirected to Sam's page when it's a separate thing entirely? It's related to Sam and it should be noteworthy on his page, but Fishtank itself deserves its own page because it was a huge group project far bigger than any one individual. The viewers were substantial and their veracity isn't being questioned by anyone here other than you, funny that. Clearly the reason being because you are a self described 'queer' and you are trying to censor a guy who has been censored for years due to some of his more uncouth behaviour. You are doing so because you believe the permeation of his content is bad for society. C00l, whatever, nobody else cares. Everybody here on this comment discussion can see that you're just an irked bozo that doesn't want Sam Hyde to get any more exposure than he has already had. Not that there's anything wrong with that or that it matters in the slightest, but at least make your intentions known - they're very obvious anyway.

Not even QuietHere is denying the numbers, it's just that views are simply completely irrelevant to whether the article should be kept - what Wikipedia cares about is not big numbers, but in-depth reliable sourcing. You are not helping your case by calling into question people for being queer or by calling those who disagree with you "irked bozos". Please see Wikipedia:No personal attacks.

There is no veracity behind them if someone just wrote 'em down, and given how many apparent Sam Hyde fans this ordeal has attracted, those numbers are even less reliable because they could've been fudged.

  • Keep There is substantial significance to this article as it is one of the many footnotes in internet entertainment and history, I can tell there is a bias against this due to it being in relation to Sam Hyde and all of the controversies that come with him. I hope we see to look past that and more as just an 'internet show' with much regard for it to have its own page. Second to DvcDeBlvngis. BlackMesaMoment01 ( talk) 14:57, 20 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: Relisting as I still am not seeing any policy-based arguments from those advocating Keep who seem to rely on unverified viewer numbers which are not important for notability on Wikipedia. These personal attacks are unacceptable and if they continue, there will be blocks. Right now, I'm leaning towards a Redirect. By the way, I am not familiar with this series creator and whatever views he might have. If you are new to AFDs, what matters is reliable, independent, secondary sources that establish notability, that's the only "agenda" here.

  • Redirect per nom. These sources seem really questionable and there doesn't seem to be enough to support an article. To the extent the series is significant without being Wikipedia-notable, its significance can be discussed in the Sam Hyde article until such time as there is sufficient high-quality independent coverage to support a separate article. -- Visviva ( talk) 02:35, 21 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Despite the canvassing, appears to pass WP:GNG. [34] [35] [36]. The second source has a bit of an advertorial vibe, but enough negative information is peppered in that I changed my mind about it. There is plenty of WP:SIGCOV. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 10:08, 21 June 2023 (UTC) reply

    I wonder if WP:PERSISTENCE, part of WP:NEVENT, applies to non-events though. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 05:32, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    It's a live stream, albeit a long one, so it's at least worth considering. I don't have a strong sense on GNG for this one, because reliability (and to some degree, independence) is a bit difficult to establish on any sources. — siro χ o 06:02, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply
    1. What would make this a non-event? Sounds like a livestream would fit the definition to me.
    2. Guidelines aren't just for the very specific things they're designed to target. They all give us a better understanding of Wikipedia generally, and their logic can usually be applied generally because the site is meant to be as consistent as is reasonable.
    3. Take note of how WP:PERSISTENCE links directly to WP:SUSTAINED which is part of the main notability page and is saying essentially the same thing. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 08:08, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply

    Thanks for that link. Sadly, it makes me even more skeptical of win.gg. They're explicitly tied to esports betting via "WIN Group". Via a different article from that same publication, they seem to partner and promote and promote some folks they cover [37].

    That is unfortunate, however, as far as I am aware there is no established link between Fishtank and the WIN Group. As well, the site has a separate category for livestreaming, which the article in question was filed under. Said category covers a multitude of various streaming culture related topics on various platforms, from Twitch to Kick. While not exactly being the best look, unless a definitive link is established between Fishtank and WIN Group, I think we should not go out and assume that it is a non-independent promotional article.

List of night vision devices

This list article has a few problems, the most serious of which is that it has no sources. It also does not indicate what the criterion is for inclusion, and so does not satisfy list notability. The criterion isn't having a Wikipedia article, since some of the entries are not linked to articles. This list was moved to draft space by User:BoyTheKingCanDance with the statement that it has no sources (because it has no sources). It was then moved back to article space by its creator without adding sources. This is a contested draftification and so is being sent to AFD. Robert McClenon ( talk) 05:08, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Comment the lack of sourcing is a red-herring. Our List of botanists, for example, has no sources, and rightly so: it's a navigational aid to find articles on notable botanists, and all the sourcing required to establish that they are botanists and notable is to be found in the articles on each botanist. The question is whether we really need a navigational aid to find articles on individual night-vision devices. Lists can also be useful to keep articles on the general topic more concise, but since our article on night-vision devices already lists everything, mixed up with the text, this stand-alone list isn't achieving anything particularly useful. Also stand-alone navigational lists shouldn't contain items that don't have a corresponding article. Elemimele ( talk) 06:06, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I generally prefer lists to categories, but this list is not in a good state yet. Either this ends up no different from Category:Night vision devices, or it adds red links, or the non-linked entries need sources so they aren't removed. — siro χ o 09:43, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per siro's point above. This list already exists as a category and has nothing to add to that category. Night vision devices that are notable will end up in the category, while non-notable devices don't really belong in the list anyway, because they end up running afoul of WP:NOTADVERT and the list specificity requirements.My vote could be swayed under the condition that the list adds something that the category does not while also having strict enough entry requirements to avoid just becoming a list of every night vision device ever invented (or dreamed of, for that matter). -- Licks-rocks ( talk) 12:01, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Couldn't find enough coverage or verify sales/charting mentioned on the artist's page. I guess I can't definitely call this non-notable, but it's at least gonna need some work to meet that burden of proof, and if it can't do that then it should be redirected to G.NA. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 02:29, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, I think; but could use some help from a Korean-language speaker. It charted at #22 (debuted there and never went higher); and it got coverage in Korean-language news (e.g., [40]; [41]; [42]) (She's sometimes identified in Korea as "지나" rather than "G.NA", which helps a little on googling.) I think those satisfy a couple of the factors in WP:NALBUM (1. "been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works..."; and 2. "has appeared on any country's national music chart").
I'll add the charting; I'm reluctant to add the news coverage, since I don't read Korean and would need to rely on machine translation. TJRC ( talk) 02:55, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply
I just noticed that the article as it exists says it peaked at #1; but the reference has rotted away, even via the wayback machine, and I cannot independently verify that.
If it indeed was a #1-charting album, it would certainly meet notability; but I'm a little skeptical of that. TJRC ( talk) 03:06, 15 June 2023 (UTC) reply

I have evaluated the following sources vacuumed up from the last AFD, this AFD, and the article: [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53], and I think only [54] passes GNG/NCORP (assuming that page 5C has another paragraph talking about Grupo Senda).

Article about a political candidate, not properly sourced as having a strong notability claim. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they didn't win -- the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. To qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia rather, a candidate must show that either (a) he already has preexisting notability for some other reasons (e.g. having held a different notable office, having established notability in another career independently of politics) that would already have secured inclusion in Wikipedia anyway, or (b) he has a credible claim to being a special case whose candidacy should be seen as uniquely more notable than other people's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance.
But neither of those things is in evidence here: there's no serious claim that he was notable for other reasons besides an unsuccessful election campaign, the writing shades into "campaign brochure" territory by spending entirely too much time on his political opinions, and the referencing consists of a small smattering of the purely run of the mill campaign coverage that every candidate in every election can always show, which hardly constitutes evidence that he's more notable than other candidates.
This previously existed as a redirect to the election he ran in, before being converted into this yesterday -- so no prejudice against restoration of the redirect, but this should be stricken from the edit history first. There's just nothing here that's "inherently" notable at all. Bearcat ( talk) 02:57, 29 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Hélène Huby plays for the european space travel a similar role like Elon Musk in USA. -- Allexkoch ( talk) 08:49, 11 June 2023 (UTC) reply

      • Look here and here its ESA I think its independant. -- Allexkoch ( talk) 08:06, 13 June 2023 (UTC) reply
        • I might be missing something, but neither of those actually mention Huby herself. They mention The Exploration Company, but ESA is certainly not independant when talking about what contacts it signs. - Kj cheetham ( talk) 10:22, 13 June 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - see the German Wikipedia article -- it's much longer and has many more references: de:Hélène Huby
-- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count) 05:32, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Ok, I just looked at a translation of the German article. It's got some puffery. There is one substantial German-language article cited that's about Heléne Huby. I will let others read and decide for themselves whether it's "independent" -- it's a bit puffy (at least after translation). The German article mostly cites articles about The Exploration Company.
I'm still researching but leaning to redirect and merge to Ms. Ruby's company.-- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count) 17:08, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply
The German article survived an AfD just a month ago:
On closer examination, the Germans don't have an independent article on The Exploration Company - it's a redirect to Ms. Ruby's article.
-- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count) 17:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply
Merge and Redirect to The Exploration Company. Any independent material about Ms. Ruby herself can be put in a section about the CEO. At a later date, there may be more coverage to justify an article just about Ms. Ruby. If someone finds more coverage in reliable sources, please ping me.-- A. B.

Redirect to List of Doctor Who supporting characters. Who made an article for like every single reoccurring classic Dr. Who thing ever?

Highly promotional tone, and only one source. I found only one other reliable source, from Mayo County Council https://www.mayo.ie/en-ie/home-to-mayo-2022/ambassadors/adrian-flannelly -- but that doesn't seem independent. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 10:08, 14 June 2023 (UTC) reply

There are no sources.. there are dead links.. one of which is archived but it leads to some archive of a personal page that has nothing of substance. This person is not mentioned anywhere. The template for needing more sourced was added 16 years ago.. I think there has been plenty of time to fix the article. There is no fixing it.

Keep Seems to be a rather prolific journalist/writer, you get many, many hits on columns in Billboard, Variety and a few books he's written, which are quoted by other stories, such as this [59] in American Songwriter. More than likely as notable for being a senior writer at Billboard. Oaktree b ( talk) 14:02, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply
He's also said to be a notable chart journalist in an NPR article. [60] and his "Billboard Book of Number One Charts" seems to have gone through five editions since the 1980s [61], implying it's widely used as a reference work. Oaktree b ( talk) 14:03, 22 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Very minor antagonist in the franchise who has barely shown up past his initial appearance. The previous deletion discussion allowed it to stay due to a few encyclopedic sources, but outside of those few sources, I don't believe it meets GNG or SIGCOV.
