A spin-off character from Doctor Who. While relevant in universe, there doesn't seem to be significant coverage beyond that. A search yielded little to no good results. Not sure what a possible AtD would be, since he's not currently listed at the Companions article, and the book he debuted in, Death in Diplomacy, is currently a Stub article, so that's up to debate.

I cam across this during new page patrol - it was a redirect until July 28. I prodded the article on August 21 because the person does not appear to meet WP:ANYBIO, WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NPROF. I had some discussion with the original redirect creator on my talk page. But since the prod was removed no work has been done to show notability. I am putting it here so that the community can determine if the person is notable. Lightburst ( talk) 00:24, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Thanks @ Buidhe:. You were notified because you started the page as a redirect. And your comment that this was "written" is a stretch. It is a stub with 57 words and three words are his name and 13 are about the book. This book has an article which you also started (only 33 words so there is room) so your idea of a merge or original idea of redirect makes sense.

  • Strong Keep – this is not a dictionary article. There is already a Wiktionary article, here, and it says, and says only (and perhaps too narrowly), that "iron horse" means a "railroad steam locomotive". An accurate description of the Wikipedia article is that it is an article about the origins of the term, and how the term has been used over time. As such, it is an article that one would find not in a dictionary, but in an encyclopedic dictionary, and Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Indeed, as the article "encyclopedic dictionary" indicates, early major encyclopedias were an evolution of encyclopedic dictionaries. All of this does not mean that the Wikipedia article could not do with some improvement; it could. But the mere fact that it could do with improvement is not a sufficient reason to delete it, particularly now that it is better sourced than when it was nominated for deletion.

Article's reception were filled with listicles and such. Most of the sources are about his Smash Bros. reveal and rankings, some of the sources are pretty dead right now.

Merge to List of generation IV Pokémon. Not seeing any non-plot summary source there that meets WP:SIGCOV. The extensive research for passing mentions is nonetheless valuable and a merge should be carried out. While many articles like this have issues with stand-alone notability, I feel we don't do enough to merge the valuable content from them into relevant lists :( A problem that can be at least rectified one day if history is preserved (SOFTDELETE). -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:36, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Many of the "listicles" do discuss and/or go into a level of detail about the character. WP:SIGCOV explicitly states that a topic "does not need to be the main topic of the source material". The poll mentioned in the article isn't just any fan poll - "In the Pokémon of the Year poll held by The Pokémon Company, Lucario was voted the most popular Pokémon from Diamond and Pearl, receiving 102,259 votes. It was also the second-most popular Pokémon overall." This result was then covered by RS. If that isn't demonstrative of real-world notability, idk what is. Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 02:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete or merge as WP:ATD. Most coverage is WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs. There isn't much to write about the fan poll other than it happened, and it's not enough WP:SIGCOV to

  • Merge Pokemon articles tend to be vulnerable to AfM/AfD as the article's secondary sources are often used to add trivial commentary, especially where listicle-type articles are used to describe a Pokemon as one of the "best", or "cool". The test seems to be whether secondary sources offer a meaningful and independent perspective outside of the work. Unless notable in themselves, I'm not sure that user-based fan polls add substance in establishing notability. The kind of sourcing we are looking for is the IGN source, which seemed to be promising assessment of the impact, but turns out to only be a sentence in another listicle-type article. Contrast with Snorlax where meaningful secondary commentary has talked about the design of the Pokemon and its impact on popular culture. VRXCES ( talk) 09:46, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep There seems to have been a giant crusade against Pokemon articles these past few years, but Lucario was literally the central character of a Pokemon movie, so he's at least more noteworthy than say Growlithe or Farfetch'd. There's tons of real world coverage of Lucario within the article itself ( [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. If some of the sources are unusable now, that can be fixed through editing and not deleting. We don't need an article on every thousand something Pokemon, but noms such as this lean too far the other direction.

Noting the above is an essay and not policy; I think I'd qualify it's less that a cited article is a listicle and more that the secondary sources lend themselves to a trivial discussion and evaluation about the subject matter. Lucario has obviously been mentioned across wide sources in some way, but the depth and relevance of those sources as significant coverage is the issue. For instance, of the sources cited above, [1] briefly discusses Lucario only in the context of its appearance in Smash; [2] evaluates Lucario as "iconic", a "personal favorite" and "instant hit", but there is little discussion of why, which lends itself to an interpretation it is trivial coverage; [3]-[4] are purely descriptive of Lucario products; [5] conveys the outcome of the poll but does not mention Lucario at all; and [6] is a primary source that mentions Lucario once in passing.

  • Merge "Full of listicles" is technically not a valid deletion argument, as listicles are fully admissible as sources, but "full of trivial mentions" is, and that's what describes the sourcing in the article. Listicles are usually trivial coverage and this is no exception, therefore the same issue applies as many fictional subject articles in which the editors assume that any mention, no matter how small, counts towards notability. Most of what I was able to find is simply SEO-style content. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ) 05:49, 6 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge None of the articles listed above constitute significant coverage of the subject.
  • In the case of this example given above: [7], Lucario isn't even mentioned by the writer at all; the name is only seen once, in passing, on the republished poll results at the bottom of the page.
  • In this example given above: [8], the source is a listicle of the "top 150(!) Pokemon", each entry only getting 3-5 sentences in what clearly constitutes trivial coverage.
  • In this example: [9], Lucario is only mentioned in one sentence: "Yes, it's incredibly difficult! Especially [coming] up with a name [that] is universal here, in the U.S. or Europe, such as Pikachu, Dialga, Palkia, and Lucario." Not only is Lucario not the focal point of the interview, they're not even the focal point of the one sentence they appear in.

Lucario might be the main character of a movie or a popular character in a video game, but the sources provided haven't done a good job of showcasing significant coverage. FlotillaFlotsam ( talk) 03:09, 7 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Selective Merge I've gone through the article and the Reception section seems to be the only section with sources independent of the subject. (An IGN article was cited in the Concept and creation section. However, the article contains only two full sentences about Lucario and is sourced entirely to the Super Smash Bros. official website-hardly an independent source). In the main Reception section, the vast majority of sources consist of listicle grade articles where large number of Pokémon will be included on a list and get only a few sentences of coverage each. The Merchandise sub-section is supported by a few relatively short articles about specific pieces of Lucario merchandise such as Nanoblocks and Gallery figures; there aren't any sources focusing on Lucario merchandise as a larger category. In summation, there is little in-depth coverage of Lucario from sources independent of Nintendo/Game Freak and what independent sources do exist consist mainly of routine Pokémon-related coverage that contains barely more than a trivial mention about Lucario. It could perhaps be argued that Lucario and the hundreds of other Pokémon that have received similar coverage just barely meet notability requirements. However, I think it's preferable to confine most Pokémon to the lists and reserve stand-alone articles for only the most notable Pokémon than it is to create hundreds of articles on debatably notable Pokémon (see WP:PAGEDECIDE). To this end, I think we can cover our bases here by adding a sentence or two about Super Smash Brothers and Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew to Lucario's entry in the List of generation IV Pokémon article and then redirecting this article there.

Article was an unsourced BLP for many years and eventually deleted via WP:PROD in March 2021, with just this source. A few days ago, on 15 August 2023, it was recreated as a translation from the French Wikipedia, with two obituaries as sources. I am having trouble finding anything further, and I am skeptical that this French translation addresses the notability issue that resulted in the last proposed deletion. The only thing changed was the subject had passed away. Was someone who wasn't notable due to having only one source would suddenly become notable upon his death because he has two obituaries? He may well be notable but the sources are likely to be in Persian. He might even meet WP:MUSICBIO in Iran, although evidence of that is scant. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 18:10, 15 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Article about former footballer who had a non-notable journeyman career and which comprehensively fails WP:GNG. I created this article in 2007 before I understood that NSPORTS required significant coverage in reliable sources, and following WP:NSPORTS2022 that is well-established. I attempted to PROD months ago, but an editor reverted on the grounds that many similar articles exist. I've searched for significant coverage in English, Portuguese, Icelandic, Greek and Bulgarian language sources without finding anything helpful (e.g., the Icelandic newspaper archive yields a Fréttir squad listing).

This article used to give the illusion of being notable for having a bunch of unreliable sources caked onto it to justify WP:FANCRUFT. After clearing the garbage, all that remains is only five sources and a WP:PERMASTUB. What are these five sources and what do they have?

  • 1 announces the game is coming to mobile, doesn't say much else except that it was a fad.
  • 2 is just evidence of an Internet fad that died out in months, maybe one paragraph of reception.
  • 3 ...I'm not sure what says, I don't speak German and I don't know about the reliability of Google Translate here.
  • 4 is a developer interview. Usable for development information but nothing really for reception.
  • 5 just says that the game was popular with YouTubers.

None of the sources provided are usable critic reviews (YouTubers do not count) and a search for WP:BEFORE turned up nothing extra. There is also no coverage to cover the games extra versions and the upcoming sequel, which for the subject is key information. This article would be lopsided with being 95% development and gameplay and 5% reception. I almost think it's better not having an article at all due to the lack of coverage, hence why I am nominating it. Negative MP1 16:29, 29 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: The Kotaku and 4Players easily are good enough sources to determine notability, but I'll list some more sources to boot: Game Design Deep Dive: Horror ISBN  9781000451108 (pg. 85), Automaton review (in Japanese), Pixel (in Polish), and Konbini (in French). Niche but reliable publications in lots of languages for you! Why? I Ask ( talk) 06:23, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Is there proof these smaller niche places are reliable sources? None are listed in WP:VG/S. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ) 14:22, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Game Design Deep Dive: Horror may as well fall under the same boat as the Gematsu / Game Developer article (writer also writes for the site). Also, it mentions the word "Baldi" once. As for the others, there is no evidence that Pixel and Konbini are reliable sources, so it is likely safe to not use them in notability related discussions. Also take into consideration the things I pointed out about the lack of new information on the game, which is pretty key for the subject. Negative MP1 18:14, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Pixel and Konbini both have Wikipedia pages as they are decently known, but non-English, sources. Automaton is published by Active Gaming Media and is decently popular in Japan. Just because they are foreign sources does not mean they are not useable. Why? I Ask ( talk) 20:40, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    My point isn't the fact they're foreign sources, that was never the point, we have sources like Jeuxvideo that are considered perfectly usable here, it's the fact they're undiscussed here that slightly concerns me. Do the Wikis for those specific languages consider them reliable sources? I'm not saying they're completely unusable, just concerned about their usage for notability. Negative MP1 20:52, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Delete This is a borderline case where the sources are surprisingly shallow on independent commentary. Part of the ambiguity is that a WP:BEFORE doesn't yield any other reliable sources in WP:VG/S, so we need to evaluate several sources of variable depth and reliability for what they have to say about the game. The Kotaku articles, when taken together, do offer some brief assessments of the game, and comment on the cultural impact of the game. For the Game Developer article, I disagree with the characterisation that Couture has not provided his own perspective on the game - the article does thoughtfully evaluate the effectiveness of the game's design, but it is mostly a primary interview source. Otherwise, I agree the article's current reliable secondary sources, including the Pocket Gamer and 4Players articles, offer marginal to no evaluative commentary on the game, and mostly read as a description. This sadly seems to also be the case with the suggested sources, particularly Automaton and Pixel, the reliability of which I have no idea. The page on Game Design Deep Dive is not significant coverage of the game in question, but a brief description of the game as an example of its use of a horror narrative device. That leaves very little breadth of independent coverage on this article that isn't a description of the game. I admit that I was surprised this game hasn't received more coverage. Happy to be proven wrong; I think all this article needs is another strong source or two to confidently say this enters general notability. VRXCES ( talk) 12:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Redirect to Lollipop (Italian band): The one immediately apparent advantage this article presents is charting, but ItalianCharts.com doesn't list the album (it does support the charting for "Batte Forte" though) and Hung Medien's charts only show the top 20 per week. Without that, the article as is does not support any claims to notability, and my search (also probably limited in regards to Italian-language sources) turned up nothing additional.

  • Keep - The article was gutted three times in the last week for lack of RS with no apparent attempt to improve it with sources. It is appropriately tagged with {{unreferenced}}. Deleting this article does nothing to improve Wikipedia. • Policy-specific objections: It is abundantly clear that WP:BEFORE was not even attempted. B2 (and all of D) per Mutt Lunker and gScholar note below; B3 (wholesale gutting noted above); B6 (there are 336 inbound links); and B4, C1 and C3 (nothing on Talk at all). As a Scottish clan, WP:GNG is incredibly easy to establish with a quick search on gScholar. Note that, when improving the article, some care will need to be taken as many scholars of Clan MacInnes are members of the Clan, either by name or descent, which may make some of them WP:PRIMARY.

  • Comment this is a back-to-front list. Algal oil is definitely a hot topic, and it's reasonable to have a list of companies connected with it, but the nominator is correct that the list is only useful if it provides an entry-point to further information. As a list it should contain predominantly blue-links with the odd red-link where an article really ought to be written. As it stands, it's mostly no-links, with locations wiki-linked to make it look as though there's some blue-linking. If we trim out all the entries that don't link to something, there will be so little left that the list is useless. The existing list has some small merit as a starting-point for anyone who wants to write articles about companies that produce algal oil (or said they would). And it is a collection of 64 sources which is a substantial amount of work to track down. I would much rather see this list converted into what it should be, than deleted. Anyone fancy writing a very large number of articles? Elemimele ( talk) 16:53, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep based on my experience at Articles for deletion/Commercial fusion. I didn't realize how big a field commercial fusion had become - there's more private money going into fusion research this year than government money. Fascinated, I started chipping away at all the unreferenced entries as the AfD went on; I'm proud of the finished product: Commercial fusion. I also became more familiar with out stand-alone lists guideline. Sometimes a list will contain mostly entries that don't merit their own articles. The requirement is that they be still be reliably referenced. This allows reliable coverage without 50+ little marginal articles. If a crummy article appears, we just redirect it to the list.

I spent some time flagging problematic citations. I'll continue tomorrow. Time permitting, after marking all the existing citations, I'll start searching for better refs. At first glance, some of these seem dinkier and older than the companies on the commercial fusion lists. Some no longer have web sites (I'll delete those) and others have 1990s style main pages. I'm guessing the link will shrink by 50% but we'll see. A. B. ( talkcontribsglobal count) 23:25, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - No policy-based reason is given for this AfD. Wastes reader’s time is a long way of saying WP:IDONTLIKEIT. It should have been procedurally closed immediately. Since it wasn't: I don't even like list articles, and I have to admit this is one of the best-sourced to come up for deletion in a while, and it actually passes WP:SELCRIT.

  • Comment. The article was not moved to draft three times by three different editors. It was moved one time by Pbritti, then improved and submitted to AfC and accepted by me. The nominator then moved a second time, which I reverted per WP:DRAFTOBJECT.

Weak keep. From a quick google search I thought notability would be very clear, but I'm not sure any of the RS coverage is significant. Not gonna whack out the sources table. UPE allegations unlikely since coverage is pretty mixed in tone.
I'm guessing there are lots more arabic sources here I'm not getting at. Given that this individual's focus is primarily in producing arabic content for muslims and is relevant enough in that field to be mentioned by BBC and The Guardian, I think it's fair to assume more coverage exists that I'm not able to locate right now. That said, the current article is a puff piece and doesn't adequately represent the extent to which he has been criticised for bigoted views.

  • Keep: Without looking any further than the article, I see feature articles from the Boston Herald and the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune giving significant coverage to the subject, and it's disquieting to see that those sources were in place when the nomination was made. Given that the nomination was made in a flurry of other edits, if WP:BEFORE was done at all, it was done hastily and sloppily. Just on the basis of those two sources I'd give this a GNG pass -- leaving aside what other sources are out there -- that the subject doesn't meet NPOL is irrelevant. Ravenswing 12:18, 21 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Never mind that just simply typing "Daniel Koh" + "Boston" into a Google News search also turned up significant coverage in the Boston Globe [53] and shorter pieces in the Boston Business Journal [54], the New York Times [55], Bloomberg Law News [56] and the Andover Townsman [57].

  • Is Deputy Cabinet Secretary a notable role for NPOL? I don't think WP:GNG is met based on those sources, since one's a 40 under 40, another is directly on him but is more about finding someone who has ADHD than his own notability (but is clearly the best one), the Bloomberg is what we would describe in the sports world as "routine transactional", the NY Times simply quotes him for an entirely different story, and the Andover Townsman isn't GDPR friendly.

    Wondering that myself, and whatever it is, what notability guideline explicitly debars it.

Ravenswing 05:07, 22 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    We typically delete political candidates who may even pass GNG on the grounds that anyone running for office gets a certain level of coverage and typically redirect them to the page of the election they ran for. That's even a step below that - this person might run. Same with low-level elected officials. I'm also not arguing GDPR is disqualifying, just that they're local websites which don't follow GDPR guidelines and so aren't accessible to me. SportingFlyer T· C 09:07, 22 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Let's try again: to what are you referring when you say "GDPR?" What notability guideline cites it as a valid reason to disqualify a GNG pass? (The only definition of the acronym I can find refers to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, which can't possibly refer to a United States citizen, and it would be flat out absurd to think it had any connection with a newspaper putting its articles online.) What do you mean by "not accessible here?" I can access those sources just fine, and in any event you're well aware that even being behind a paywall or being offline doesn't disqualify a source.

    With that, you can't have it both ways. You can't claim that otherwise reliable, valid sources are disqualified from the GNG (and again, what guideline says so?) if they're concerning a candidate running for public office, and in the next breath concede that they're not concerning a candidacy for public office, but for some reason they're disqualified anyway. Ravenswing 02:30, 23 August 2023 (UTC) reply

    I am saying I cannot access these sources because American websites do not comply with the GDPR and as such are not accessible in my location. I am not trying to disqualify those specific sources, though they appear to be from very local news publications. One appears to be a "local guy makes good" article from the headline, though. SportingFlyer T· C 07:55, 23 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per sources identified by Ravenswing. @ SportingFlyer: a comment in good faith as you appear unaware: it's not at all hard to get around GDPR restrictions - free VPN services are readily available and more than adequate to check US news sites. FWIW, I don't feel there's community consensus on the application of "routine coverage" here ... there's a lot of devil in that detail and nothing explicit in WP:ROUTINE that includes elections. Coversely, elections almost by definition are routine so it's somewhat contradictory to claim that local election coverage is routine but say, US Presidential election coverage is not...what's significant in determining notability here is scale, not recurrance. Regards, -- Goldsztajn ( talk) 13:06, 23 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    It's fine - I was just noting I hadn't seen those articles. But I still stand that he's not notable - what exactly is he notable for? He lost an election where the winner had 18,000 votes, he won a very local election with 2,700 votes, he opted not to run for lieutenant governor. Is he notable because he works in the White House? Is he notable because someone wrote an article discussing his ADHD? Because those are the other two options, unless notability is simply "the local paper wrote one feature article on him."
    We also consistently delete unelected candidates for office for a number of different reasons. We even consistently delete articles on elected mayors who have only received local coverage. The fact any candidate will receive some level of ROUTINE coverage being only one of them. And if this particular article is scale over recurrence, there's no scale here. SportingFlyer T· C 13:17, 23 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    I would emphasise the distinction between demonstrating notability through the existence of in depth reliable sourcing and demanding what a subject is notable for. The GNG/BASIC requires the former, not the latter. Asking questions such as "Is he notable because he works in the White House?" is misleading to the extent that the *sources* determine the answer to this, not our opinion of work in the White House. There are plenty of people working in the White House who lack indepth RS coverage, ipso facto, no article. On the other hand, people working in the White House with in depth coverage in multiple RS are notable by our guidelines. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 10:58, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    I agree with Goldsztajn that the reason why someone garners enough coverage to meet the GNG does not matter -- the community has consistently declined to limit GNG passes to only those purportedly "worthy" of receiving media coverage.

    With that, c'mon. Yes, articles are deleted all the time of local politicians getting passing mentions in local weekly papers. I strongly disagree that we routinely delete subjects for whom feature articles can be found in Pulitzer Prize-winning publications with continental scope. Ravenswing 11:32, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Upgrading my comment to a delete. Koh fails WP:NPOL as someone who has only won very hyper-local election, so isn't de facto notable as a politician. The sources identified all have some problem with them.

In the article:

  • Boston Herald article is routine election night coverage for a primary recount;
  • Local election results aren't SIGCOV;
  • Boston Herald article talking about how he might run for lieutenant governor, which he ultimately didn't;
  • His biography from an organisation where he's a member, not secondary or SIGCOV;
  • An ADD blog where he talks about his struggle with ADHD;

In the AfD so far:

  • A Boston Globe article where he talks about his struggle with ADHD;
  • A Bloomberg Law article which is a short biography about how he moved to the White House;
  • A New York Times article where he's simply quoted;
  • His listing in a 40 under 40, which generally isn't considered for notability;

I cannot access sources about how he started marathon running.

On the whole, this looks like SIGCOV, but for what? In order to get him over the GNG line for being a politician you have to combine a feature article about how he has ADHD with an article about he might run for an office he didn't ultimately wind up running for, neither of which are related to the thing he's most wiki-notable for: losing a primary election. He's simply a failed candidate who hasn't made any sort of impact outside of being a failed candidate. SportingFlyer T· C 12:57, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply

"One the whole this looks like SIGCOV" - so that's a pass of the GNG. NPOL is a positive test for inclusion; a subject does not fail NPOL the result of which provides justification for deletion, it simply means the criteria of NPOL are not satisfied for presumption of notability. Not satisfying NPOL does not mean all other criteria we use for assessing notability cannot apply. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 20:31, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply
It's significant coverage of ...the fact he has ADHD? SportingFlyer T· C 20:55, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Where does the GNG require us to assess what the significant coverage is for? That's a content discussion, not a notability discussion. We have a subject with significant coverage, just because he's a minor political functionary/representative does not exclude him when he meets our notability criteria. NPOL contains presumptive inclusionary criteria, not exclusionary criteria. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 22:19, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Well, failed candidates getting deleted fall under WP:NOT, where someone can still receive coverage but not being notable enough for the encyclopedia. He's notable for being a failed political candidate. The wrinkle here is that there are two pieces of coverage outside the election which look okay, one talking about how me might run for a race he never ran in, the other profiling him for having ADHD, which wasn't about politics. I simply am applying common sense here and think that those two pieces of coverage aren't enough to make him a "notable" failed candidate. SportingFlyer T· C 14:00, 26 August 2023 (UTC) reply
I think this discussion shows the challenge of relying on GNG to determine which subjects should receive a stand-alone page. I agree with SportingFlyer that the sources are not that significant - the Boston Herald article about a possible run really doesn't contain much information about the subject (despite the headline) - but if we add the ADDitude piece, I can see how we get to a technical GNG pass. That said, just because a subject may be notable, our guidelines do not require a stand-alone article be created. So, we have a subject that may just pass GNG, but may fail ten-year test of an international encyclopedia. - Enos733 ( talk) 17:08, 26 August 2023 (UTC) reply

I also don't think WP:NOT applies here to the failed candidacy, because the application of NOT would be NOTNEWS or NOTWHOSWHO, but if this person is notable, it's for multiple things, so these would not apply. For similar reasons BIO1E and BLP1E do not apply.
So the remaining question, I think, is: is this person notable, under WP:BIO as a moderately successful politician who is ADHD?. The politics and ADHD are linked in this only-partially-secondary source [58]. Because of the fact that we would have to rely on this type of source to connect the notable aspects, I'm just not quite sure. I slightly lean keep because WP:BASIC is explicitly flexible in pulling bits of notability from multiple sources, and we have no BLP or V issues, and no other NOT issues either. — siro χ o 07:52, 28 August 2023 (UTC) reply

no idea why it was created. In fact, Tatomirovic also reached out to the person who created it and that user had no particular reason to create it.

Agree that the first draft was not well-sourced and did not adhere to Wikipedia standards for living person's bio/page. Full disclosure: I know the person about whom this page is through our professional network and she reached out to me - she claims not to have created the page or asked for the page to be created, but would like it cleaned up and to remain. So I took her bio, significantly copyedited, reformatted, and tried to pull as many quality links as I could. Since she's been a PR pro for several major companies, it's difficult to parse what to include and what not to. Tried to keep it simple. Apologies if this throws a wrench in your review of the references, but I'll be around and happy to help remove or add anything that's needed! Nikibgd ( talk) 15:12, 2 September 2023 (UTC) reply
No wrenches have been thrown. Being a PR Pro doesn't make you you notable. It is a the most banal and generic article of somebody doing there job. Your just a chancer. We will have a look at the references. scope_creep Talk 03:35, 3 September 2023 (UTC) reply
Yeah, the original ref sources sucked. And I did a poor job fixing that the first time around. This time, I did much better. In short, Tatomirovic is pretty well known in Belgrade societal and definitely professional circles. I sifted through the hundreds of PR statements she's made for others and have found several interviews in highly regarded Serbian media specifically about her, her book, etc.. I'll go through all of the refs and my rationale in using/keeping them.
Ref 1 [1] Passing mention of Tatomirovic in an old TV report, but thought I'd keep it because the experience of students and journalists under S. Milosevic in Serbia was "interesting" to put it mildly. Also cool with having it removed though.
Ref 2 [2] Link to Tatomirovic's book description on goodreads.com for added info, also cool for having this removed.
Ref 3 [3] Interviews with Tatomirovic about her book in Politika newspapers online version. Politika is the oldest newspaper still being published in the Balkan region and the paper of record in Serbia.
Ref 4 [4] Article in PCPress announcing Tatomirovic joining the Forbes Comms Council. PCPress is one of the most popular monthly magazines in Serbia, established in 1995.
Ref 5 [5] Interview in Pancevo, Serbia local media about Tatomirovic's love of dogs, which I only included as a reference because it mentions details of her private life and that she lives between Serbia and Germany.
Ref 6 [6] Another link from PCPress, this time an interview with Tatomirovic. Only included as reference for fun fact that she had a novel character based on her, although that factoid is also available in the Wikipedia article about the author of said novel, Igor Marojevic.
Removed all potentially PROMO references. Nikibgd ( talk) 21:26, 4 September 2023 (UTC) reply
These are even worse that ones you had before. Forbes council is paid for. Anybody can join. Goodreads is social media and is non-rs. Interviews are WP:PRIMARY. Passing mentions can't be used prove notability. She is plainly non-notable. scope_creep Talk 08:25, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Lets examine the references 1-7
  • Ref 1 [61] Profile and vlog selling herself. It is plain advertisement that any business person would do. It is WP:SPS source. It is WP:PRIMARY.
  • Ref 2 [62] TV news archive. It is a passing mention at best.
  • Ref 3 [63] This the ladies blog. It is WP:SPS source.
  • Ref 4 [64] "The spokeswoman of the Higher Commercial Court in Belgrade, Tanja Tatomirović" Another passing mention and WP:PRIMARY.
  • Ref 5 [65] "Tanja Tatomirović, PR of that company, confirmed for Danas." That is another passing mention. It is WP:PRIMARY even though it is junk.
  • Ref 6 [66] Paid role. I could join. Is non-rs.
  • Ref 7 [67] A story written by Tatomirovic.

There is either primary sources, SPS sources or passing mentions. They are really poor mentions. They are particularly poor and none of it constitutes a claim to notability. scope_creep Talk 03:49, 3 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Can't argue with most of this. And thanks for reviewing the sources and the clarity on that here. Appreciated your time on this, for real. What I can say is that Tatomirovic, due to her visible roles, is a visible and known figure in Serbian media. Which, as you said, just means she's doing her job well. However, she's also a staple of the Belgrade "scene" and has a novel character based on her. All of this doesn't mean she's notable outside of Serbia. So not sure how that applies to English-language Wikipedia. Anyway, I'll try to dig up two or three more sources from established media that are more than a passing mention and will then leave it up to you guys.

  • Keep. This looks like the start to a good article. Also, when writing about Wikipedia, using Wikipedia as a source is allowed. As stated in WP:NOTSOURCE:

    An exception to this is when Wikipedia is being discussed in an article, which may cite an article, guideline, discussion, statistic or other content from Wikipedia or a sister project as a primary source to support a statement about Wikipedia (while avoiding undue emphasis on Wikipedia's role or views and inappropriate self-referencing).

    Yes, thank you, there is a big potential into turning the article into big and good one. Just look at its Russian version to see how it can go. Russian version is more elaborated, but still a way smaller that it deserves to be. It is just a matter of time. Tatar Wikipedia (and Bashkir) are outstanding in a way how it is promoted among "regular" people. There are not many Wikipedias that have support from mass media, state insitutions, including scientific institutions.

  • Comment Bing Translator has Tartar but as far as I know you have to copy/paste the text and manually select Tartar in the drop down list. It translate the first section as "Tatar Wikipedia (lat. tat. Tatar Wikipediase) is the Tatar-language section of Wikipedia. In terms of the number of articles among Wikipedia in Turkic languages, Turkish ranks second only to Wikipedia. It opened on September 15, 2003, and originally operated with only the Latin alphabet. Today, the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets are used in tatar Wikipedia on equal rights. [1] The majority-accepted name of the Tatar language section - "Tatar Wikipedia" - states only the language of writing articles, not that it belongs to any ethnic group or state."

    Dear Sirs,
    Good morning, everybody.
    I say good morning because, in Italy, it is 04:47 a.m.
    I consider myself a serious person and professional.
    For me, having a page on Wikipedia is an honor and a joy.
    Recently, on my page, I posted some official links.
    These links have all been deleted, and I even read that you want to delete my page.
    Why this prejudice against me?
    Before deleting the links I place, and closing my page, I ask that my links be analyzed and verified for their source and content.
    I understand that they are in Italian and, therefore, can hardly be understood, but there are translators for people of good will.
    I give some paradoxical examples: In the “Biography” section, I had entered:
    https://accademiatiberina.it/cerimonie/198-anno-cerimonia-di-inaugurazione/
    https://accademiatiberina.it/cerimonie/198-anno-rassegna-fotografica/#iLightbox%5Bgallery_image_1%5D/55
    These are the links to the inauguration of the 198th academic year (2010), during which I was awarded the prestigious title of academician. You have deleted everything. Do you want to question the prestigious Tiber Academy?
    In this regard, I also included a Wikipedia link:
    https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accademia_tiberina
    You have also deleted yours.
    Immediately after, you find Giuseppe Gioachino Belli written in blue.
    This link is old; I still need to put it in.
    This is a Wikipedia link:
    /info/en/?search=Giuseppe_Gioachino_Belli
    Doesn't this seem like a paradox?
    This is fine; the one I inserted is not by Wikipedia policy?
    And again, in order not to go on too long, I will mention only three examples of links that you have unilaterally removed:
    https://www.concorsiletterari.net/rassegna-stampa/verbale-ufficiale-di-giuria-le-nove-muse-2023/
    This is a public record officiating the awarding, to me, of a prestigious Critics' Award for the Mauro Montacchiesi book, "The Star on this July Night" (Amazon Publishing).
    https://www.lagazzettadimassaecarrara.it/brevi/dedicato-un-libro-in-lingua-inglese-a-marina-pratici
    This is a newspaper. The Gazzetta of Massa and Carrara
    The article is in Italian, and I cannot translate it because it is printed.
    However, if you read well:
    The volume is entitled "Tribute to the Artist Marina Pratici" and is the work of Mauro Montacchiesi, an Italian poet who lives and works in Rome.
    -
    https://www.accademiapoesiarte.it/2020/10/02/poesia-2020-mauro-montacchiesi/
    https://www.accademiapoesiarte.it/
    This is the International Academy of Signification Poetry and Contemporary Art.
    Look and check well the logos of the sponsorships: Public University Roma Tre, Regione lazio, Roma Capitale, Italian Cultural Institute New York, Municipality of Canale Monterano.
    You have deleted these as well. Why?
    I could give so many more examples, all well-founded and substantiated, of official links that you have deleted.
    Again, I have included details of some books that I published in 2022.
    They are all books with regular ISBNs and deposited at the National Library in Florence.
    The ones that I entered are not good; the earlier ones, which I did not enter, are fine.
    At the top of my page, I read:
    This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.
    Since no one is doing this, I try to do it, but I am regularly boycotted.
    I leave it up to you to examine and decide on the case.
    Best regards.

  • @ MAURO PAOLO PIETRO, to answer your questions, we have rules that govern article retention. In particular, refer to the detailed information in these guidelines: WP:BIO, WP:RS, and WP:COI.
WP:COI: You are not allowed to edit your own biography. This is to protect Wikipedia's integrity against self-interested editing.
WP:BIO: The article has to demonstrate that you are notable as defined by WP:BIO above; you may disagree with those notability criteria but they're the rules of this website.
WP:RS: Any claims this article makes about you have to be backed up with citations to references that meet the WP:RS guideline.
Presently, this article does not meet our notability requirements based on the references in the article.
I'm sure you're a very good poet. If it's any consolation, most of the world's very good poets aren't notable by our rules. They have not gotten the substantial, in-depth coverage required.
Ultimately, notability on Wikipedia is more about vagaries of media coverage by reliable sources than merit. We're an encyclopaedia diligently compiled by a group of amateur volunteers. We're compiling information from around the world for our articles; we're not forming or imposing our own opinions.
I'm sorry I have to tell you this; I know it's a disappointment. Please don't take it personally - this is just a really big website, and we're not poetry experts.

I also noticed the subject is from 19 century an merits respect. In her bio there are dozens of verifications to external links archives. All of them mentioning Anita as the "Argentinian star" and everybody agrees that she was a very famous TANGO singer. It will be insulting to remove her.

Anita Bobasso was one of the most famous singers of tango as you can see in the dozens of links listed in her biography! they are from archives of course. and yes, there is a biography in spanish ( and in many others she is mentioned ). She was remembered just 3 years ago as the (Anita Bobasso the star of tango that the public asked her to sing over and over again the same song because they loved so much) as you can see in this modern publication of 2020 https://www.historiadealagoas.com.br/antonio-hugo-da-silva-o-boemio-maestro-antonio-paurilio.html
    Regarding a biography, YES, here is one in Spanish: https://ragazzoitaliano25.wixsite.com/anitabobasso
    and she is always mentioned in most press of his famous actor grandson all the time. I would like to protect the bio from malicious people but I am 75 years old and its not easy for me to do it because I do not know much about wikipedia and how to defend myself from people.

First time doing AfD process, so sorry for anything I'm doing wrong. This article seems to fail WP:ORG because of a lack of significant coverage. Sources 1,2,3,6,11 are primary sources. Source 4 is an article largely written by the company CEO, which would make it fail independence. Sources 5 and 12 are seemingly press releases authored or co-authored by the company. Source 7 is no longer functional, and has no backup. The remaining sources (8,9,10) all seem okay, but none of them seem to give substantial coverage about Leadec outside of a single acquisition event per source; plus, sources 8 and 9 do not bring the strongest face forward for notability, neither being a nationally- or regionally-significant news source. In addition, a quick search of Leadec turns up no notable incidents which have been widely covered. There are also no easy merges or redirects which can be done, given that no important personnel within the company, nor companies which have acquired or been acquired by Leadec, have Wikipedia pages. Therefore, I believe the article for Leadec should be deleted. Leafy46 ( talk) 02:48, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Just another note - I also took a look at the German page for the company to see if it could be expanded, and it seems to suffer from the same problems. Specifically, it mostly relies on primary sources, and the other sources are a video which doesn't exist anymore and two online newspaper articles from seemingly small and unnotable sources.

Longer articles/reviews in newspapers (there are more capsule/short reviews that exist): [97] & [98] (talking about repairing espresso machine using the author's Francis machine), [99] stand alone review, [100] discussion in the context of Italian artistic things and includes mention of FrancisFrancis!'s plate set.

  • Redirect to Illy. It's a high threshold for a product to warrant its own article, which is not, in my opinion, met in this instance. There is nothing lost by having a redirect to the company page, which is certainly notable. If the product has sufficient discussion in secondary sources, a small sentence would be fine on that page. However, there is nothing of significance I can see regarding this particular machine that makes a merge vote worthwhile or practicable.

  • Strong Keep – this is not a dictionary article. There is already a Wiktionary article, here, and it says, and says only (and perhaps too narrowly), that "iron horse" means a "railroad steam locomotive". An accurate description of the Wikipedia article is that it is an article about the origins of the term, and how the term has been used over time. As such, it is an article that one would find not in a dictionary, but in an encyclopedic dictionary, and Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Indeed, as the article "encyclopedic dictionary" indicates, early major encyclopedias were an evolution of encyclopedic dictionaries. All of this does not mean that the Wikipedia article could not do with some improvement; it could. But the mere fact that it could do with improvement is not a sufficient reason to delete it, particularly now that it is better sourced than when it was nominated for deletion.

Merge to List of generation IV Pokémon. Not seeing any non-plot summary source there that meets WP:SIGCOV. The extensive research for passing mentions is nonetheless valuable and a merge should be carried out. While many articles like this have issues with stand-alone notability, I feel we don't do enough to merge the valuable content from them into relevant lists :( A problem that can be at least rectified one day if history is preserved (SOFTDELETE). -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:36, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Many of the "listicles" do discuss and/or go into a level of detail about the character. WP:SIGCOV explicitly states that a topic "does not need to be the main topic of the source material". The poll mentioned in the article isn't just any fan poll - "In the Pokémon of the Year poll held by The Pokémon Company, Lucario was voted the most popular Pokémon from Diamond and Pearl, receiving 102,259 votes. It was also the second-most popular Pokémon overall." This result was then covered by RS. If that isn't demonstrative of real-world notability, idk what is.

  • Merge Pokemon articles tend to be vulnerable to AfM/AfD as the article's secondary sources are often used to add trivial commentary, especially where listicle-type articles are used to describe a Pokemon as one of the "best", or "cool". The test seems to be whether secondary sources offer a meaningful and independent perspective outside of the work. Unless notable in themselves, I'm not sure that user-based fan polls add substance in establishing notability. The kind of sourcing we are looking for is the IGN source, which seemed to be promising assessment of the impact, but turns out to only be a sentence in another listicle-type article. Contrast with Snorlax where meaningful secondary commentary has talked about the design of the Pokemon and its impact on popular culture. VRXCES ( talk) 09:46, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep There seems to have been a giant crusade against Pokemon articles these past few years, but Lucario was literally the central character of a Pokemon movie, so he's at least more noteworthy than say Growlithe or Farfetch'd. There's tons of real world coverage of Lucario within the article itself ( [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. If some of the sources are unusable now, that can be fixed through editing and not deleting.

Noting the above is an essay and not policy; I think I'd qualify it's less that a cited article is a listicle and more that the secondary sources lend themselves to a trivial discussion and evaluation about the subject matter. Lucario has obviously been mentioned across wide sources in some way, but the depth and relevance of those sources as significant coverage is the issue. For instance, of the sources cited above, [1] briefly discusses Lucario only in the context of its appearance in Smash; [2] evaluates Lucario as "iconic", a "personal favorite" and "instant hit", but there is little discussion of why, which lends itself to an interpretation it is trivial coverage; [3]-[4] are purely descriptive of Lucario products; [5] conveys the outcome of the poll but does not mention Lucario at all; and [6] is a primary source that mentions Lucario once in passing.

  • Merge "Full of listicles" is technically not a valid deletion argument, as listicles are fully admissible as sources, but "full of trivial mentions" is, and that's what describes the sourcing in the article. Listicles are usually trivial coverage and this is no exception, therefore the same issue applies as many fictional subject articles in which the editors assume that any mention, no matter how small, counts towards notability. Most of what I was able to find is simply SEO-style content. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ) 05:49, 6 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge None of the articles listed above constitute significant coverage of the subject.
  • In the case of this example given above: [7], Lucario isn't even mentioned by the writer at all; the name is only seen once, in passing, on the republished poll results at the bottom of the page.
  • In this example given above: [8], the source is a listicle of the "top 150(!) Pokemon", each entry only getting 3-5 sentences in what clearly constitutes trivial coverage.
  • In this example: [9], Lucario is only mentioned in one sentence: "Yes, it's incredibly difficult! Especially [coming] up with a name [that] is universal here, in the U.S. or Europe, such as Pikachu, Dialga, Palkia, and Lucario." Not only is Lucario not the focal point of the interview, they're not even the focal point of the one sentence they appear in.

Lucario might be the main character of a movie or a popular character in a video game, but the sources provided haven't done a good job of showcasing significant coverage. FlotillaFlotsam ( talk) 03:09, 7 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Selective Merge I've gone through the article and the Reception section seems to be the only section with sources independent of the subject. (An IGN article was cited in the Concept and creation section. However, the article contains only two full sentences about Lucario and is sourced entirely to the Super Smash Bros. official website-hardly an independent source). In the main Reception section, the vast majority of sources consist of listicle grade articles where large number of Pokémon will be included on a list and get only a few sentences of coverage each. The Merchandise sub-section is supported by a few relatively short articles about specific pieces of Lucario merchandise such as Nanoblocks and Gallery figures; there aren't any sources focusing on Lucario merchandise as a larger category. In summation, there is little in-depth coverage of Lucario from sources independent of Nintendo/Game Freak and what independent sources do exist consist mainly of routine Pokémon-related coverage that contains barely more than a trivial mention about Lucario. It could perhaps be argued that Lucario and the hundreds of other Pokémon that have received similar coverage just barely meet notability requirements. However, I think it's preferable to confine most Pokémon to the lists and reserve stand-alone articles for only the most notable Pokémon than it is to create hundreds of articles on debatably notable Pokémon (see WP:PAGEDECIDE). To this end, I think we can cover our bases here by adding a sentence or two about Super Smash Brothers and Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew to Lucario's entry in the List of generation IV Pokémon article and then redirecting this article there.

Article was an unsourced BLP for many years and eventually deleted via WP:PROD in March 2021, with just this source. A few days ago, on 15 August 2023, it was recreated as a translation from the French Wikipedia, with two obituaries as sources. I am having trouble finding anything further, and I am skeptical that this French translation addresses the notability issue that resulted in the last proposed deletion. The only thing changed was the subject had passed away. Was someone who wasn't notable due to having only one source would suddenly become notable upon his death because he has two obituaries? He may well be notable but the sources are likely to be in Persian.

This article used to give the illusion of being notable for having a bunch of unreliable sources caked onto it to justify WP:FANCRUFT. After clearing the garbage, all that remains is only five sources and a WP:PERMASTUB. What are these five sources and what do they have?

  • 1 announces the game is coming to mobile, doesn't say much else except that it was a fad.
  • 2 is just evidence of an Internet fad that died out in months, maybe one paragraph of reception.
  • 3 ...I'm not sure what says, I don't speak German and I don't know about the reliability of Google Translate here.
  • 4 is a developer interview. Usable for development information but nothing really for reception.
  • 5 just says that the game was popular with YouTubers.

None of the sources provided are usable critic reviews (YouTubers do not count) and a search for WP:BEFORE turned up nothing extra. There is also no coverage to cover the games extra versions and the upcoming sequel, which for the subject is key information. This article would be lopsided with being 95% development and gameplay and 5% reception. I almost think it's better not having an article at all due to the lack of coverage, hence why I am nominating it. Negative MP1 16:29, 29 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: The Kotaku and 4Players easily are good enough sources to determine notability, but I'll list some more sources to boot: Game Design Deep Dive: Horror ISBN  9781000451108 (pg. 85), Automaton review (in Japanese), Pixel (in Polish), and Konbini (in French). Niche but reliable publications in lots of languages for you! Why? I Ask ( talk) 06:23, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Is there proof these smaller niche places are reliable sources? None are listed in WP:VG/S. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ) 14:22, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Game Design Deep Dive: Horror may as well fall under the same boat as the Gematsu / Game Developer article (writer also writes for the site). Also, it mentions the word "Baldi" once. As for the others, there is no evidence that Pixel and Konbini are reliable sources, so it is likely safe to not use them in notability related discussions. Also take into consideration the things I pointed out about the lack of new information on the game, which is pretty key for the subject. Negative MP1 18:14, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Pixel and Konbini both have Wikipedia pages as they are decently known, but non-English, sources. Automaton is published by Active Gaming Media and is decently popular in Japan. Just because they are foreign sources does not mean they are not useable. Why? I Ask ( talk) 20:40, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    My point isn't the fact they're foreign sources, that was never the point, we have sources like Jeuxvideo that are considered perfectly usable here, it's the fact they're undiscussed here that slightly concerns me. Do the Wikis for those specific languages consider them reliable sources? I'm not saying they're completely unusable, just concerned about their usage for notability. Negative MP1 20:52, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Delete This is a borderline case where the sources are surprisingly shallow on independent commentary. Part of the ambiguity is that a WP:BEFORE doesn't yield any other reliable sources in WP:VG/S, so we need to evaluate several sources of variable depth and reliability for what they have to say about the game. The Kotaku articles, when taken together, do offer some brief assessments of the game, and comment on the cultural impact of the game. For the Game Developer article, I disagree with the characterisation that Couture has not provided his own perspective on the game - the article does thoughtfully evaluate the effectiveness of the game's design, but it is mostly a primary interview source. Otherwise, I agree the article's current reliable secondary sources, including the Pocket Gamer and 4Players articles, offer marginal to no evaluative commentary on the game, and mostly read as a description. This sadly seems to also be the case with the suggested sources, particularly Automaton and Pixel, the reliability of which I have no idea. The page on Game Design Deep Dive is not significant coverage of the game in question, but a brief description of the game as an example of its use of a horror narrative device. That leaves very little breadth of independent coverage on this article that isn't a description of the game. I admit that I was surprised this game hasn't received more coverage. Happy to be proven wrong; I think all this article needs is another strong source or two to confidently say this enters general notability. VRXCES ( talk) 12:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - The article was gutted three times in the last week for lack of RS with no apparent attempt to improve it with sources. It is appropriately tagged with {{unreferenced}}. Deleting this article does nothing to improve Wikipedia. • Policy-specific objections: It is abundantly clear that WP:BEFORE was not even attempted. B2 (and all of D) per Mutt Lunker and gScholar note below; B3 (wholesale gutting noted above); B6 (there are 336 inbound links); and B4, C1 and C3 (nothing on Talk at all). As a Scottish clan, WP:GNG is incredibly easy to establish with a quick search on gScholar. Note that, when improving the article, some care will need to be taken as many scholars of Clan MacInnes are members of the Clan, either by name or descent, which may make some of them WP:PRIMARY.

  • Keep -- Potentially restore this version, tagging it as unreferenced. The account in that version reads to me as a credible account from tradition.

  • Comment this is a back-to-front list. Algal oil is definitely a hot topic, and it's reasonable to have a list of companies connected with it, but the nominator is correct that the list is only useful if it provides an entry-point to further information. As a list it should contain predominantly blue-links with the odd red-link where an article really ought to be written. As it stands, it's mostly no-links, with locations wiki-linked to make it look as though there's some blue-linking. If we trim out all the entries that don't link to something, there will be so little left that the list is useless. The existing list has some small merit as a starting-point for anyone who wants to write articles about companies that produce algal oil (or said they would). And it is a collection of 64 sources which is a substantial amount of work to track down. I would much rather see this list converted into what it should be, than deleted. Anyone fancy writing a very large number of articles? Elemimele ( talk) 16:53, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep based on my experience at Articles for deletion/Commercial fusion. I didn't realize how big a field commercial fusion had become - there's more private money going into fusion research this year than government money. Fascinated, I started chipping away at all the unreferenced entries as the AfD went on; I'm proud of the finished product: Commercial fusion. I also became more familiar with out stand-alone lists guideline. Sometimes a list will contain mostly entries that don't merit their own articles. The requirement is that they be still be reliably referenced. This allows reliable coverage without 50+ little marginal articles. If a crummy article appears, we just redirect it to the list.

I spent some time flagging problematic citations. I'll continue tomorrow. Time permitting, after marking all the existing citations, I'll start searching for better refs. At first glance, some of these seem dinkier and older than the companies on the commercial fusion lists. Some no longer have web sites (I'll delete those) and others have 1990s style main pages. I'm guessing the link will shrink by 50% but we'll see. A. B. ( talkcontribsglobal count) 23:25, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - No policy-based reason is given for this AfD. Wastes reader’s time is a long way of saying WP:IDONTLIKEIT. It should have been procedurally closed immediately. Since it wasn't: I don't even like list articles, and I have to admit this is one of the best-sourced to come up for deletion in a while, and it actually passes WP:SELCRIT. It passes WP:NLIST and, if it wasn't a list, would pass WP:GNG as well. There is no valid, policy-based rationale for deletion, and it would not improve Wikipedia to do so.

Weak keep. From a quick google search I thought notability would be very clear, but I'm not sure any of the RS coverage is significant. Not gonna whack out the sources table. UPE allegations unlikely since coverage is pretty mixed in tone.
I'm guessing there are lots more arabic sources here I'm not getting at. Given that this individual's focus is primarily in producing arabic content for muslims and is relevant enough in that field to be mentioned by BBC and The Guardian, I think it's fair to assume more coverage exists that I'm not able to locate right now. That said, the current article is a puff piece and doesn't adequately represent the extent to which he has been criticised for bigoted views.

  • Keep: Without looking any further than the article, I see feature articles from the Boston Herald and the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune giving significant coverage to the subject, and it's disquieting to see that those sources were in place when the nomination was made. Given that the nomination was made in a flurry of other edits, if WP:BEFORE was done at all, it was done hastily and sloppily. Just on the basis of those two sources I'd give this a GNG pass -- leaving aside what other sources are out there -- that the subject doesn't meet NPOL is irrelevant. Ravenswing 12:18, 21 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Never mind that just simply typing "Daniel Koh" + "Boston" into a Google News search also turned up significant coverage in the Boston Globe [53] and shorter pieces in the Boston Business Journal [54], the New York Times [55], Bloomberg Law News [56] and the Andover Townsman [57].

  • Is Deputy Cabinet Secretary a notable role for NPOL? I don't think WP:GNG is met based on those sources, since one's a 40 under 40, another is directly on him but is more about finding someone who has ADHD than his own notability (but is clearly the best one), the Bloomberg is what we would describe in the sports world as "routine transactional", the NY Times simply quotes him for an entirely different story, and the Andover Townsman isn't GDPR friendly.

    Wondering that myself, and whatever it is, what notability guideline explicitly debars it.

Ravenswing 05:07, 22 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    We typically delete political candidates who may even pass GNG on the grounds that anyone running for office gets a certain level of coverage and typically redirect them to the page of the election they ran for. That's even a step below that - this person might run. Same with low-level elected officials. I'm also not arguing GDPR is disqualifying, just that they're local websites which don't follow GDPR guidelines and so aren't accessible to me. SportingFlyer T· C 09:07, 22 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    Let's try again: to what are you referring when you say "GDPR?" What notability guideline cites it as a valid reason to disqualify a GNG pass? (The only definition of the acronym I can find refers to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, which can't possibly refer to a United States citizen, and it would be flat out absurd to think it had any connection with a newspaper putting its articles online.) What do you mean by "not accessible here?" I can access those sources just fine, and in any event you're well aware that even being behind a paywall or being offline doesn't disqualify a source.

    With that, you can't have it both ways. You can't claim that otherwise reliable, valid sources are disqualified from the GNG (and again, what guideline says so?) if they're concerning a candidate running for public office, and in the next breath concede that they're not concerning a candidacy for public office, but for some reason they're disqualified anyway. Ravenswing 02:30, 23 August 2023 (UTC) reply

    I am saying I cannot access these sources because American websites do not comply with the GDPR and as such are not accessible in my location. I am not trying to disqualify those specific sources, though they appear to be from very local news publications. One appears to be a "local guy makes good" article from the headline, though. SportingFlyer T· C 07:55, 23 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per sources identified by Ravenswing. @ SportingFlyer: a comment in good faith as you appear unaware: it's not at all hard to get around GDPR restrictions - free VPN services are readily available and more than adequate to check US news sites. FWIW, I don't feel there's community consensus on the application of "routine coverage" here ... there's a lot of devil in that detail and nothing explicit in WP:ROUTINE that includes elections. Coversely, elections almost by definition are routine so it's somewhat contradictory to claim that local election coverage is routine but say, US Presidential election coverage is not...what's significant in determining notability here is scale, not recurrance. Regards, -- Goldsztajn ( talk) 13:06, 23 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    It's fine - I was just noting I hadn't seen those articles. But I still stand that he's not notable - what exactly is he notable for? He lost an election where the winner had 18,000 votes, he won a very local election with 2,700 votes, he opted not to run for lieutenant governor. Is he notable because he works in the White House? Is he notable because someone wrote an article discussing his ADHD? Because those are the other two options, unless notability is simply "the local paper wrote one feature article on him."
    We also consistently delete unelected candidates for office for a number of different reasons. We even consistently delete articles on elected mayors who have only received local coverage. The fact any candidate will receive some level of ROUTINE coverage being only one of them. And if this particular article is scale over recurrence, there's no scale here. SportingFlyer T· C 13:17, 23 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    I would emphasise the distinction between demonstrating notability through the existence of in depth reliable sourcing and demanding what a subject is notable for. The GNG/BASIC requires the former, not the latter. Asking questions such as "Is he notable because he works in the White House?" is misleading to the extent that the *sources* determine the answer to this, not our opinion of work in the White House. There are plenty of people working in the White House who lack indepth RS coverage, ipso facto, no article. On the other hand, people working in the White House with in depth coverage in multiple RS are notable by our guidelines. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 10:58, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply
    I agree with Goldsztajn that the reason why someone garners enough coverage to meet the GNG does not matter -- the community has consistently declined to limit GNG passes to only those purportedly "worthy" of receiving media coverage.

    With that, c'mon. Yes, articles are deleted all the time of local politicians getting passing mentions in local weekly papers. I strongly disagree that we routinely delete subjects for whom feature articles can be found in Pulitzer Prize-winning publications with continental scope. Ravenswing 11:32, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Upgrading my comment to a delete. Koh fails WP:NPOL as someone who has only won very hyper-local election, so isn't de facto notable as a politician. The sources identified all have some problem with them.

In the article:

  • Boston Herald article is routine election night coverage for a primary recount;
  • Local election results aren't SIGCOV;
  • Boston Herald article talking about how he might run for lieutenant governor, which he ultimately didn't;
  • His biography from an organisation where he's a member, not secondary or SIGCOV;
  • An ADD blog where he talks about his struggle with ADHD;

In the AfD so far:

  • A Boston Globe article where he talks about his struggle with ADHD;
  • A Bloomberg Law article which is a short biography about how he moved to the White House;
  • A New York Times article where he's simply quoted;
  • His listing in a 40 under 40, which generally isn't considered for notability;

I cannot access sources about how he started marathon running.

On the whole, this looks like SIGCOV, but for what? In order to get him over the GNG line for being a politician you have to combine a feature article about how he has ADHD with an article about he might run for an office he didn't ultimately wind up running for, neither of which are related to the thing he's most wiki-notable for: losing a primary election. He's simply a failed candidate who hasn't made any sort of impact outside of being a failed candidate. SportingFlyer T· C 12:57, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply

"One the whole this looks like SIGCOV" - so that's a pass of the GNG. NPOL is a positive test for inclusion; a subject does not fail NPOL the result of which provides justification for deletion, it simply means the criteria of NPOL are not satisfied for presumption of notability. Not satisfying NPOL does not mean all other criteria we use for assessing notability cannot apply. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 20:31, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply
It's significant coverage of ...the fact he has ADHD? SportingFlyer T· C 20:55, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Where does the GNG require us to assess what the significant coverage is for? That's a content discussion, not a notability discussion. We have a subject with significant coverage, just because he's a minor political functionary/representative does not exclude him when he meets our notability criteria. NPOL contains presumptive inclusionary criteria, not exclusionary criteria. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 22:19, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Well, failed candidates getting deleted fall under WP:NOT, where someone can still receive coverage but not being notable enough for the encyclopedia. He's notable for being a failed political candidate. The wrinkle here is that there are two pieces of coverage outside the election which look okay, one talking about how me might run for a race he never ran in, the other profiling him for having ADHD, which wasn't about politics. I simply am applying common sense here and think that those two pieces of coverage aren't enough to make him a "notable" failed candidate. SportingFlyer T· C 14:00, 26 August 2023 (UTC) reply
I think this discussion shows the challenge of relying on GNG to determine which subjects should receive a stand-alone page. I agree with SportingFlyer that the sources are not that significant - the Boston Herald article about a possible run really doesn't contain much information about the subject (despite the headline) - but if we add the ADDitude piece, I can see how we get to a technical GNG pass. That said, just because a subject may be notable, our guidelines do not require a stand-alone article be created. So, we have a subject that may just pass GNG, but may fail ten-year test of an international encyclopedia. - Enos733 ( talk) 17:08, 26 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Leaving aside that is neither policy nor guideline, the consequence is nevertheless that deletion is not answer. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 10:13, 27 August 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Weakest keep. I agree that WP:GNG is probably not a good guideline to apply here. I also don't think WP:NOT applies here to the failed candidacy, because the application of NOT would be NOTNEWS or NOTWHOSWHO, but if this person is notable, it's for multiple things, so these would not apply. For similar reasons BIO1E and BLP1E do not apply.
So the remaining question, I think, is: is this person notable, under WP:BIO as a moderately successful politician who is ADHD?. The politics and ADHD are linked in this only-partially-secondary source [58]. Because of the fact that we would have to rely on this type of source to connect the notable aspects, I'm just not quite sure. I slightly lean keep because WP:BASIC is explicitly flexible in pulling bits of notability from multiple sources, and we have no BLP or V issues, and no other NOT issues either. — siro χ o 07:52, 28 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Yeah, the original ref sources sucked. And I did a poor job fixing that the first time around. This time, I did much better. In short, Tatomirovic is pretty well known in Belgrade societal and definitely professional circles. I sifted through the hundreds of PR statements she's made for others and have found several interviews in highly regarded Serbian media specifically about her, her book, etc.. I'll go through all of the refs and my rationale in using/keeping them.
Ref 1 [1] Passing mention of Tatomirovic in an old TV report, but thought I'd keep it because the experience of students and journalists under S. Milosevic in Serbia was "interesting" to put it mildly. Also cool with having it removed though.
Ref 2 [2] Link to Tatomirovic's book description on goodreads.com for added info, also cool for having this removed.
Ref 3 [3] Interviews with Tatomirovic about her book in Politika newspapers online version. Politika is the oldest newspaper still being published in the Balkan region and the paper of record in Serbia.
Ref 4 [4] Article in PCPress announcing Tatomirovic joining the Forbes Comms Council. PCPress is one of the most popular monthly magazines in Serbia, established in 1995.
Ref 5 [5] Interview in Pancevo, Serbia local media about Tatomirovic's love of dogs, which I only included as a reference because it mentions details of her private life and that she lives between Serbia and Germany.
Ref 6 [6] Another link from PCPress, this time an interview with Tatomirovic. Only included as reference for fun fact that she had a novel character based on her, although that factoid is also available in the Wikipedia article about the author of said novel, Igor Marojevic.

What I can say is that Tatomirovic, due to her visible roles, is a visible and known figure in Serbian media. Which, as you said, just means she's doing her job well. However, she's also a staple of the Belgrade "scene" and has a novel character based on her. All of this doesn't mean she's notable outside of Serbia. So not sure how that applies to English-language Wikipedia. Anyway, I'll try to dig up two or three more sources from established media that are more than a passing mention and will then leave it up to you guys.

I have previous mentioned in this discussion that I know Tatomirovic personally through professional circles, as well as that she reached out to me regarding this article and that I was in touch with her. I believed this to be enough of a COI disclosure and didn't want to take up any more room here. However, @ Scope creep has pointed out that my conflict of interest needs clarification. Here it is.
While I am a communications consultant that gets paid, among other things, for online reputation management consulting, I am NOT being paid to participate in this discussion or to keep this article up.
Have I consulted for Tatomirovic in the past? Yes. Will I be receiving any remuneration from anyone dependent on whether or not this article is removed or kept? Absolutely not.
And because I know Tatomirovic, as previously disclosed, I have refrained from voting keep/delete or expressing any opinions of my own, and am doing my best to simply contribute to the article. Nikibgd ( talk) 09:31, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

    "Aztec Stadium is going through a World Cup rehearsal with a two-week series of soccer matches among Italy, Mexico, West Germany, and England through June 15.
    "Italy defeated England, 2-1, last Thursday amid a wave of concern about crowd violence at soccer matches. Thirty-eight spectators, mostly Italian, died May 29 in rioting at the European Cup Club Championship between Liverpool and Juventus of Turin in Brussels.
    "Eight Mexican fans died May 26 at Aztec Stadium when the crowd stampeded at the National League championship match. The biggest disaster occurred May 11 in Bradford, England, when the soccer stadium caught fire, causing more than 50 deaths.
    "Yet Mexican soccer officials, immersed in the complex preparations for the mammoth 1986 event, say they are convinced Mexican fans will not pose any problems. Mexico hosted the 1970 World Cup and it is remembered as a joyous sports festival." [74]

  • Keep. This looks like the start to a good article. Also, when writing about Wikipedia, using Wikipedia as a source is allowed. As stated in WP:NOTSOURCE:

    An exception to this is when Wikipedia is being discussed in an article, which may cite an article, guideline, discussion, statistic or other content from Wikipedia or a sister project as a primary source to support a statement about Wikipedia (while avoiding undue emphasis on Wikipedia's role or views and inappropriate self-referencing).

    Daniel Quinlan ( talk) 03:24, 2 September 2023 (UTC) reply
    Yes, thank you, there is a big potential into turning the article into big and good one. Just look at its Russian version to see how it can go. Russian version is more elaborated, but still a way smaller that it deserves to be. It is just a matter of time. Tatar Wikipedia (and Bashkir) are outstanding in a way how it is promoted among "regular" people. There are not many Wikipedias that have support from mass media, state insitutions, including scientific institutions. Tatar Wikipedia (and Bashkir) are viewed as a way to preserve language and culture, and lot of efforts were made into that.

    Dear Sirs,
    Good morning, everybody.
    I say good morning because, in Italy, it is 04:47 a.m.
    I consider myself a serious person and professional.
    For me, having a page on Wikipedia is an honor and a joy.
    Recently, on my page, I posted some official links.
    These links have all been deleted, and I even read that you want to delete my page.
    Why this prejudice against me?
    Before deleting the links I place, and closing my page, I ask that my links be analyzed and verified for their source and content.
    I understand that they are in Italian and, therefore, can hardly be understood, but there are translators for people of good will.
    I give some paradoxical examples: In the “Biography” section, I had entered:
    https://accademiatiberina.it/cerimonie/198-anno-cerimonia-di-inaugurazione/
    https://accademiatiberina.it/cerimonie/198-anno-rassegna-fotografica/#iLightbox%5Bgallery_image_1%5D/55
    These are the links to the inauguration of the 198th academic year (2010), during which I was awarded the prestigious title of academician. You have deleted everything. Do you want to question the prestigious Tiber Academy?
    In this regard, I also included a Wikipedia link:
    https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accademia_tiberina
    You have also deleted yours.
    Immediately after, you find Giuseppe Gioachino Belli written in blue.
    This link is old; I still need to put it in.
    This is a Wikipedia link:
    /info/en/?search=Giuseppe_Gioachino_Belli
    Doesn't this seem like a paradox?
    This is fine; the one I inserted is not by Wikipedia policy?
    And again, in order not to go on too long, I will mention only three examples of links that you have unilaterally removed:
    https://www.concorsiletterari.net/rassegna-stampa/verbale-ufficiale-di-giuria-le-nove-muse-2023/
    This is a public record officiating the awarding, to me, of a prestigious Critics' Award for the Mauro Montacchiesi book, "The Star on this July Night" (Amazon Publishing).
    https://www.lagazzettadimassaecarrara.it/brevi/dedicato-un-libro-in-lingua-inglese-a-marina-pratici
    This is a newspaper. The Gazzetta of Massa and Carrara
    The article is in Italian, and I cannot translate it because it is printed.
    However, if you read well:
    The volume is entitled "Tribute to the Artist Marina Pratici" and is the work of Mauro Montacchiesi, an Italian poet who lives and works in Rome.
    -
    https://www.accademiapoesiarte.it/2020/10/02/poesia-2020-mauro-montacchiesi/
    https://www.accademiapoesiarte.it/
    This is the International Academy of Signification Poetry and Contemporary Art.
    Look and check well the logos of the sponsorships: Public University Roma Tre, Regione lazio, Roma Capitale, Italian Cultural Institute New York, Municipality of Canale Monterano.
    You have deleted these as well. Why?
    I could give so many more examples, all well-founded and substantiated, of official links that you have deleted.
    Again, I have included details of some books that I published in 2022.
    They are all books with regular ISBNs and deposited at the National Library in Florence.
    The ones that I entered are not good; the earlier ones, which I did not enter, are fine.
    At the top of my page, I read:
    This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.
    Since no one is doing this, I try to do it, but I am regularly boycotted.
    I leave it up to you to examine and decide on the case.
    Best regards.

  • @ MAURO PAOLO PIETRO, to answer your questions, we have rules that govern article retention. In particular, refer to the detailed information in these guidelines: WP:BIO, WP:RS, and WP:COI.
WP:COI: You are not allowed to edit your own biography. This is to protect Wikipedia's integrity against self-interested editing.
WP:BIO: The article has to demonstrate that you are notable as defined by WP:BIO above; you may disagree with those notability criteria but they're the rules of this website.
WP:RS: Any claims this article makes about you have to be backed up with citations to references that meet the WP:RS guideline.
Presently, this article does not meet our notability requirements based on the references in the article.
I'm sure you're a very good poet. If it's any consolation, most of the world's very good poets aren't notable by our rules. They have not gotten the substantial, in-depth coverage required.
Ultimately, notability on Wikipedia is more about vagaries of media coverage by reliable sources than merit. We're an encyclopaedia diligently compiled by a group of amateur volunteers. We're compiling information from around the world for our articles; we're not forming or imposing our own opinions.
I'm sorry I have to tell you this; I know it's a disappointment. Please don't take it personally - this is just a really big website, and we're not poetry experts.

Copying over comments from @ Ragazzodeitalia: at the talk page:

It is a biography of a singer of typical Argentine "tango" songs, very famous in the last century and that can be verified in the dozens of links in her bio, despite the fact that at that time there was no press like there is now... without Yet she had it. after 25 years she died press is still talking about her as this article of 2020 https://www.historiadealagoas.com.br/antonio-hugo-da-silva-o-boemio-maestro-antonio-paurilio.html Please help me so that it is not deleted, I am an old man and I don't know how to do it. very thankful Ragazzodeitalia ( talk) 12:48, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Anita Bobasso for what I am reading I believe the editor requesting deletion has a personal problem with the subject because there is not reason. This should NOT BE DELETED. I also noticed the subject is from 19 century an merits respect. In her bio there are dozens of verifications to external links archives. All of them mentioning Anita as the "Argentinian star" and everybody agrees that she was a very famous TANGO singer. It will be insulting to remove her. Also, the editor is including the deletion request in everywhere he can obviously showing that there is a problem? Editors should help to this biography do not be deleted. thank you !

    thank you Johnbod for being sympathetic with this. Some people does not understand that in the 19 century (even in the early 20 century) there was not press, magazine and newspapers like we have now!! Anita Bobasso was one of the most famous singers of tango as you can see in the dozens of links listed in her biography! they are from archives of course. and yes, there is a biography in spanish ( and in many others she is mentioned ). She was remembered just 3 years ago as the (Anita Bobasso the star of tango that the public asked her to sing over and over again the same song because they loved so much) as you can see in this modern publication of 2020 https://www.historiadealagoas.com.br/antonio-hugo-da-silva-o-boemio-maestro-antonio-paurilio.html
    Regarding a biography, YES, here is one in Spanish: https://ragazzoitaliano25.wixsite.com/anitabobasso
    and she is always mentioned in most press of his famous actor grandson all the time. I would like to protect the bio from malicious people but I am 75 years old and its not easy for me to do it because I do not know much about wikipedia and how to defend myself from people.

    how he will ask to a person from 19 century to have results on google search, books and else?? those did not exist back then!!! enough that this person was working until she was 100 years old!! and still showing in movies links and comments.

First time doing AfD process, so sorry for anything I'm doing wrong. This article seems to fail WP:ORG because of a lack of significant coverage. Sources 1,2,3,6,11 are primary sources. Source 4 is an article largely written by the company CEO, which would make it fail independence. Sources 5 and 12 are seemingly press releases authored or co-authored by the company. Source 7 is no longer functional, and has no backup. The remaining sources (8,9,10) all seem okay, but none of them seem to give substantial coverage about Leadec outside of a single acquisition event per source; plus, sources 8 and 9 do not bring the strongest face forward for notability, neither being a nationally- or regionally-significant news source. In addition, a quick search of Leadec turns up no notable incidents which have been widely covered. There are also no easy merges or redirects which can be done, given that no important personnel within the company, nor companies which have acquired or been acquired by Leadec, have Wikipedia pages. Therefore, I believe the article for Leadec should be deleted. Leafy46 ( talk) 02:48, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Just another note - I also took a look at the German page for the company to see if it could be expanded, and it seems to suffer from the same problems. Specifically, it mostly relies on primary sources, and the other sources are a video which doesn't exist anymore and two online newspaper articles from seemingly small and unnotable sources.

There is nothing lost by having a redirect to the company page, which is certainly notable. If the product has sufficient discussion in secondary sources, a small sentence would be fine on that page.

Notability issues. Cursory online search reveals coverage was not sustained, and his role in the scandal could probably be merged to Sponsorship scandal Bremps ... 00:46, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Merge to the scandal is fine. Brief media coverage at the time, nothing since that I see. Oaktree b ( talk) 01:54, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. There's also some coverage of his bankruptcy filing about a year after the conviction. Eastmain ( talkcontribs) 16:41, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to sponsorship scandal. His role in the scandal itself is relevant and well-sourced enough to be covered in that context, but that isn't and of itself a reason why he would need a standalone BLP as a separate topic from the scandal. Essentially, this is a WP:BLP1E in its current form, but nothing else here is demonstrating independent notability for other reasons outside of said 1E.

One source given. No sustained (or any) coverage found online, failing notability. Bremps ... 00:33, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Delete No coverage for whatever this group was at the time (assuming a political lobby, but the article isn't clear). Occupy Wall Street, yes, not this outfit. One whole source doesn't help. Oaktree b ( talk) 00:38, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete or possibly a weak Merge. This needs substantially more coverage to be notable, and even then, mentioning them in the article about the Occupy movement is probably sufficient. Cortador ( talk) 13:19, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Last AfD was no consensus. Analysis by Timothy in last AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David McIlroy indicates sources are not sufficient. Fails WP:BIO. LibStar ( talk) 00:10, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Guinea, I concur with the analysis in the last AfD that the seemingly solid Belfast Telegraph ref is in fact an interview, and thus a primary source. All other sources I could find were either also primary sources or were passing mentions, with the possible exception of this in Africa Intelligence, which is behind a paywall and would not be enough to pass GNG by itself in any case. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 02:57, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Guinea. I am in full agreement with the nom's rationale and the past source analysis of the last AfD. Additionally, I also found this but it's, again, a short message from McIlroy leaving office. The find by Devonian Wombat regarding the Africa Intelligence piece is interesting, but McIlroy doesn't seem to be at the heart of the article, so I doubt it can count towards the GNG. I also found this but it's pretty much just McIlroy's parting words. Pilaz ( talk) 14:21, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

The subject has earned at least seven caps for the Zimbabwe women's national football team. I am unable to find sufficient in-depth coverage from third-party sources, failing WP:GNG. JTtheOG ( talk) 00:04, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Yet again, an American decides to choose to judge us Africans by Western standards. If you want sufficient in-depth coverage from third-party sources, then come and purchase our local newspapers that are printed and sold in the streets of Zimbabwe. Not everything we do is put on the internet. Mangwanani (talk) 15:01, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: I could not find find significant coverage, only social media posts referencing Tumbare. Mangwanani's comment is an understandable frustration but the sourcing here needs to be verifiable. Simply claiming print coverage exists isn't enough - What articles? When were they published? What newspaper? If sources can be shown, I will gladly change my vote. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him) Talk to Me! 16:08, 5 September 2023 (UTC) reply
