  • Keep. This is a useful short article on a skater who was successful in international junior skating tournaments; her best result was the Youth Olympics. Articles such as Figure skating at the Winter Youth Olympics work in their current format because there are articles on most of the medalists; there is therefore no need to say anything about the medalists in such articles. Deleting articles such as this one, through an over-zealous application of rules to borderline cases such as this one, has a detrimental effect on other articles.-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:38, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP of a cinematographer, not properly referenced as passing notability criteria for cinematographers.
The only notability claim being attempted here is that his work exists, which isn't enough in and of itself -- the notability test for a cinematographer doesn't vest in listing his film and television credits, it vests in showing third-party reliable source media coverage externally validating the significance of his work: coverage about him, evidence that he has won or been nominated for major awards for his work, and on and so forth.
But this is referenced almost entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, like his IMDb profile and the self-published website of his own employer, with the closest thing to a reliable source being a specialty trade magazine that just links to his name being present on the cover without showing any evidence that he was the subject of any written content inside the magazine — and even if somebody can verify better than I've been able to that he was the subject of an actual article, it would still take more than just one source to get him over WP:GNG anyway.
And even on his IMDb profile, the only awards listed there are regional (Leo) or specialty (Canadian Society of Cinematographers) awards that would be fine to add here if the article were sourced properly, but are not prominent enough to hand him an instant notability freebie without proper sourcing.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better sourcing than this. Bearcat ( talk) 17:38, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep although this company has not received lengthy coverage, tThey are well documented to have been a pioneer in private health funding in the UK (one of just three players throughout the 1980s and early to mid 1990's). Even if this were to be seen as failing SIGCOV, I think it should be kept on WP:IAR grounds as a company worth documenting due to its early role in shifting cost burdens to the private sector.
    @Eastmain added some cites. I have added several more. The article was in a bit of a sorry state, but I tried to add some context about their role in the move to private and top-up insurance. I also did some section reformatting to make the article less scatterbrained although there's an entire section on WPA Healthcare Practice that is unsourced and I don't have a good way of fixing that right now. Oblivy ( talk) 01:07, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
As you say, the organisation is lacking "lengthy coverage", not enough to meet WP:ORGCRIT, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." AusLondonder ( talk) 15:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Then the correct policy to apply would be WP:IAR which says that if a policy interferes with improving or maintaining the encyclopedia it should be ignored. Oblivy ( talk) 11:15, 7 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I have added another two links (one is just to support existence of WPA Protocol as the link is dead and not archived), and improved a link to an offline source by linking to the PDF. Previously I added an article from the Times which is significant coverage of the company.
I also had a look at the links added by @ Eastmain two of which are offline. There's actually quite a lot of sourcing for the article although the offline links make it hard to know how lengthy the treatment is. Oblivy ( talk) 13:48, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This is a company therefore GNG/ WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. Also, IAR isn't a policy that says "Let's keep articles that fail our notability criteria", it says don't let a rule prevent you from improving an article. There's no rule at play here preventing anybody from improving the article or for showing references that shows notability. HighKing ++ 23:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Both @ Eastmain and I have been improving the article and with the addition of the Times article I don't think there's a basis to say this fails WP:NCORP. I've modified my vote comment accordingly. As for WP:IAR it's a foundational policy, and appears at the top of every notability PAG. It absolutely says that where the application of those policies and guidelines would interfere with the project they should be ignored. Oblivy ( talk) 01:31, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply
You might be "improving" the article, but the first test is whether the topic is notable. You mention you've added the Times article but that article appears to be entirely based on a company announcement just like the other articles carrying the same corporate story such as "Insurance to Secure New Cancer Drugs" by Rececca Smith which appeared in the Evening Standard on the same date and also the article "INSURANCE THAT OFFERS LIFE-SAVING CANCER COVER" by Liz Philips in the Daily Mail, also on the same date (both articles available in WP Library). Also just to say, IAR along with all the other policies and guidelines are generally transcluded into various pages, not disputing that, but that doesn't give it any special hierachial weighting or put it above other policies. Feel free to correct me if I've misread your position, I accept IAR encourages editors to go ahead and improve articles and to do so even if that means breaking some rules - but are you saying that establishing notability doesn't matter so long as an article is being improved, and because AfD "interferes" with article improvement by proposing to delete an article, the AfD process is trumped by IAR and you can keep any old topic regardless of whether they meet notability guidelines or not? If so, that's a ridiculous proposition. HighKing ++ 18:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: Is there any more support for a selective Merge?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:52, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per WP:GNG and WP:HEY (and move to CaliforniaSpeaks). I have nearly finished rewriting the article completely; it's still very much a work in progress but much better than before. Anyway this was not "just a conference" and there has been WP:SUSTAINED coverage of the event in many academic journals subsequently. Most in-depth is Esterling, Fung and Lee (2015), "How Much Disagreement is Good for Democratic Deliberation?", Political Communication 32(4):529–551, which focuses on CaliforniaSpeaks and also happens to be widely cited. I also liked Lee, Caroline W. (2015). Do-It-Yourself Democracy: The Rise of the Public Engagement Industry. Oxford University Press. pp. 182, 204–205, 210. CaliforniaSpeaks even got a sizable footnote in James S. Fishkin's When the People Speak: Deliberative Democracy and Public Consultation, Oxford University Press, 2011. And of course there are a ton of newspaper articles like this 2007 one in Fresno Bee. The above just scratches the surface for sourcing and there already are several other good sources if you look at the article now; in any case it's enough to keep the article.

  • Keep but consider restructuring: Cielquiparle has improved the article to the point at which I'm landing at keep (albeit on the weaker side). I think, however, it would be a much stronger article if the article were reworked/renamed so that its topic were actually on the bill being discussed (which is not named here nor the aftermath well-covered). The start would be expanded from the current background section, the CaliforniaSpeaks consultation process would constitute much of the middle, and the end would feature the bill's passage through the house, financial analysis, and subsequent death in the Senate.

  • Delete Seems a failure of WP:10YT no lasting notability. Simonm223 ( talk) 18:59, 8 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Eh, keep. "no lasting notability" makes no sense, Simonm223, given that there was an academic article published about it eight years later. That article already makes it halfway-notable. If the books by Lees-Marshment and Fishkin and Kahn (no preview--thanks Google) indeed discuss the actual subject of the article, then we're easily past GNG, and AGF basically requires that we assume that these books do that. So that's "keep", already. Having said that, stuff like this may add to the background, but it won't add to notability, and "At the end of the event, AmericaSpeaks handed out postcards" really does not add to the encyclopedic quality of the article. Also, no, don't merge or rename this unless the books/academic article suggest that. AmericaSpeaks, as an article, is a promotional piece of crap. Drmies ( talk) 22:43, 8 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Son of Godzilla, the kaiju's first appearance. Much like the cases of Ebirah and Manda, available sources on the creature pretty much just cover plot and production details of the pieces of media it appeared in, rather than any kind of analysis that demonstrates notability of the monster itself. And to pre-empt the argument that was made on both of those AFDs, while the Japanese Wikipedia article on the creature cites numerous sources, those are also just supporting plot and production details, and are also largely from official Toho sources. The fact that a real life species of spider was named after the kaiju is an interesting bit of trivia, but not enough to base an article around. Rorshacma ( talk) 21:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:NCORP, fails WP:NEVENT.

Specifically, this is an article about either Mexia Supermarket the business, or about the event of the food there becoming rotten and going off after the power was cut there.

If this is an article about Mexia Supermarket as a business, then its notability is not established as the only sources cited are local newspapers and an ~1 minute-long interview with the guy in charge of the clean-up on an Ancient Aliens-style speculative television program. Local newspapers alone cannot establish the notability of an article per WP:AUD. An interview with the guy in charge of the clean-up is not an independent source and in any event was not significant coverage.

If instead we look at this as an event, there's a clear lack of WP:LASTING coverage or WP:GEOSCOPE. The newspaper coverage was all in local papers and all comes in an approximate four-week period from 13 November 1999 to 9 December 1999, with no coverage at all in reliable, independent sources after that - the story had no WP:PERSISTENCE. As discussed above, the interview is not independent and not in a high quality source, but additionally the real subject of the show it was on was not this event but simply to use it to illustrate what would happen to food stockpiles if humanity suddenly disappeared.

A search on Newspapers.com and other sources failed to turn up anything further covering this business/event. For the avoidance of doubt, Google Maps is not a reliable source.

Ultimately this is just a very run-of-the-mill event common in communities around the world: "local thing smells bad and people complain". FOARP ( talk) 21:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply

As stated on the article's talk page, I, as creator of the page, don't contest its deletion. I was more swept up in just making the thing than actually ascertaining whether it had enough coverage to qualify, which was rather silly given quite how much time I spent actually looking for sources; to clarify, I didn't find any further lasting coverage or initial coverage of the incident. As stated on the talk page, I was at least a little surprised by how little lasting coverage there was beyond that history channel docuseries.
I'd be willing to CSD it under WP:G7. CommissarDoggo Talk? 21:15, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
There were some TV news broadcasts about this story at the time, albeit still local. It may have been worth covering on a larger scale but maybe they didn't want the world to focus on the embarrassing incident. Beyond the 2010 appearance in Life After People, this story has gained more traction through a video by Blameitonjorge called 'Disturbing Lost Recordings of Real Events, uploaded Nov 25, 2023. It has as of now 739k views. The lost footage refers to the full unedited tape of the store from the Life After People episode showing rotted food and hazmat workers clearing it away. The News broadcasts are not publicly viewable currently. They are known to exist through news logs. This is a part of the
KXAS-NBC 5 News Collection at the University of North Texas. One may need special clearance and a fee to access the broadcasts. Here is a link showing 2 Mexia stories on the same page. There were some other ones too including the December public meeting held after the store was cleaned.

Like you said, this is still local coverage. It also doesn't get over the fact that this is a very run-of-the-mill story of the kind that regularly appears in local news. I mean, just looking at the news in the UK from the last 12 months for stories in the county of Sussex that are "thing smells bad, locals complain" I see:
...and that's not even reading all the way to the bottom of the first page of results. This is clearly the kind of run-of-the-mill story that local news runs all the time and not something remarkable. FOARP ( talk) 21:28, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply

This article about Vinheteiro fails to meet WP:NMUSIC.

Details about Vinheteiro in the article are not cited in accordance with source, which makes it seem to have reach the requirement of WP:NMUSIC e.g. the article stated that Vinheteiro participated in Brazilian programs such as Jornal Nacional (seems to meet criteria 12), while the source 'Jornal Nacional' was about his video of playing of JN's theme song went viral. e.g. the article stated that Vinheteiro performed in China with local musicians (seems to meet criteria 4), yet the source was about his videos' popularity on Chinese online video platform, Bilibili, where he launched online music courses.

If the article is considered as Wikipedia:WikiProject YouTube/Notability rather than WP:NMUSIC, I doubt its sources are significant enough to meet WP:GNG. -- EleniXDD※ Talk 07:53, 15 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I have carried out WP:BEFORE for this article about an actor, and added a review of a film he was in. This is just a few words of coverage, however.

In some cases in Indonesian history of the last 1400 years, a single act can be the key component of a whole range of subsequent things, which of course runs counter to WP:BLP1E.

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Reasons are listed below:

  • The article title, "Siege of Ontala (1599)," appears to be fabricated. There are no reliable sources mentioning either "Siege of Ontala (1599) [12]" or simply "Siege of Ontala [13]" that occurred in 1599. This name seems to be invented, as no historian refers to the military conflict by this name .
  • Among all the sources cited in the article, with the exception of "Encyclopaedia Indica: Mughals and Rajputs," all other sources fall under either WP:RAJ, WP:AGEMATTERS, or WP:V. The article lacks coverage in enough reliable secondary sources, thus failing to meet the notability criteria WP:GNG. The information can be easily merged to any of the parent articles.

Thanks for sharing these, @ Narook
From my perspective, 1 and 2 are not admissible. 1. We should not be using encyclopedias as proof of notability. 2. Does not describe a proper noun, it describes that a siege occured at this place. The existence of a siege is not what is under discussion but whether the acton was commonly referred to as The Siege of Ontala.
3. is great and supportive of keeping the page. However, I still do not think it is sufficient alone. Tennisist123 ( talk) 14:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as the sourcing in the article is lacking, mostly industry publications. While there's no specific bar on earned media being used for WP:NORG notability these are quite narrowcast and not indicative of independent reporting. The Wash U article is an outlier -extensive, independent but narrowly focused on a COVID/PPE issue. If other reliable in-depth coverage surfaces I'd be willing to reconsider.
    @ BoraVoro did you do WP:BEFORE searches? There is quite a bit of independent discussion of the company in connection with Hunter Engineering Co v Syncrude Canada Ltd but I don't see that blossomed into a broader article about the company. It would have been helpful if you had acknowledged the existence of such sources and explained why they didn't support notability.
    @ Mlaviolette is a single purpose account focusing on this company and its chairman Stephen F. Brauer. A query about conflict of interest is unanswered at the talk page for nearly 5 years, but this edit admits to working for the company. Oblivy ( talk) 14:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This is a company therefore GNG/ WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

  • Strong Delete On examining what is in his apparent Scholar page, many of the papers are not his, so the h-factors of 47 and 10k citations claimed by the original editor is incorrect. His university page https://cug.irins.org/profile/100821 has 357 journal articles claimed (dubious) and an h-factor of 28. Some of the claims on his patents are also very dubious on closer inspection. I have no tolerance for anything that comes close to academic dishonesty. Ldm1954 ( talk) 12:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    Can you explain why? I'm unclear on what he's being dishonest about. Oaktree b ( talk) 13:11, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    It's not uncommon for Google Scholar profiles to be inaccurate, because Google automatically picks up publications from people with similar names and the person whose profile it is doesn't take the effort to remove them again. Being lazy about curating one's profile is not dishonest. But the article creator should know better. If the article creator is taking the GS profile as valid when it isn't, that speaks to a certain lack of care but is not in itself dishonest. If the article was created through COI editing or undeclared paid editing (for which I have no evidence) then it involves likely oversight by the subject and then honesty might come into it. — David Eppstein ( talk) 20:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    As an addendum, please remember that Google Scholar profiles are created by academics, and they can (should) subtract inappropriate papers which might end up there. If you go to his profile and follow the papers to look at where authors are from, e.g. this and this you will see that they have "Man Singh" authors from different locations and very different fields. There are some where the initials are different. There are other interesting issues in the Wiki page such as the statement that he is/was a Dean, which I cannot verify at his university.

  • Delete. Looking through the top-ten-cited publications on Google Scholar, I see: "Ecofriendly application", "Cassia fistula extracts": Hindawi, dubiously-reliable publisher. "Survismeter": heavy self-citations. "Decline of human anatomy", "Soil fungi for mycoremediation", "monthly high‐dose vitamin D", "Structure and Biogenesis": different affiliation, probably not by the same person. "Methods and computer program products", "Chest pain": not even the same name. At #9, finally, we have "Physicochemical and friccohesity", looking legitimate but with 93 citations. That's definitely not enough for WP:PROF#C1.

  • Keep "Speak Gently" is fairly widely reprinted, and his poetry has attracted a bit of critical discussion (though not an overwhelming amount) [14] [15] [16]. More importantly, we get significant coverage of Bates here from the reputable Martin Gardner, which includes mention of obituaries in the Philadelphia Public Ledger and Philadelphia Inquirer, and a bit of coverage here.

No consensus two years ago, and zero improvement since. The topic may be notable, but our execution is abysmally bad and begs for WP:TNT - after tiny prose lead, this is just a WP:IPC-violating list of random examples. I.e. this is another de facto list that fails WP:LISTN, a simple WP:INDISCRIMINATE listing of all instances self-replicating machines appeared in a work of fiction ( WP:NOTTVTROPES). If we were to approach it as an article, it falls WP:GNG, mostly WP:V and WP:OR). No prejudice to this being turned into a prose-based stub if anyone wants to work on this, but otherwise I think blanking/redirecting this would be best as 100% of the content we have here is unencyclopedic (TVTROPIS lists and OR).

  • Keep / (Oppose Merge per below The existence of these in literature, esp. science fiction, is hopefully obvious. Immediately, the topic reminded me of the fictional story by Philip K. Dick titled Autofac. If the article has problems, just work to improve it. I have not looked extensively at the WP:RS, but a quick search on Google scholar seemed to find a relevant article. Also [20], "Science fiction writers have kept pace. Phillip K Dick, Arthur C Clarke and Nobel-nominated Karel Capek have all toyed with the idea, before John Sladek based his 1968 satirical novel, the Reproductive System, on a self-replicating machine that goes wild. It set the scene for movies like the Terminator to tap into fears of robots capable of reproducing and taking over." Chapter 4 of this book starts "The growing popularity of the dystopian genre in early twentieth century literature was fuelled in part by a fear of how technology might negatively influence the development of human society [24]. Here we highlight works from the genre that involved ideas of machine self-reproduction and evolution". I think that WP:RS shows it is notable. I'm not a big fan of WP:TNT. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 10:17, 5 April 2024 (UTC) [revised 00:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)] reply
Piotrus Rather than WP:TNT, why not tag the portions you think could use sourcing and/or contact the editors who put the material in and put them on notice that if they can't find sourcing, their addition(s) will go. And when a new editor comes in and tries to add unsourced material, let then know right away that won't work. I have a similar article on my watchlist List_of_films_impacted_by_the_COVID-19_pandemic in which editors, esp. IP's, come in and add films about to be released that have no evidence they were impacted by the pandemic. I revert them and warn them. And I am slowly purging the list of films whose RS does not mention the pandemic. I'd rather teach the new editors to behave rather than destroy their "work". I have added this one, and can help in that regard.... -- David Tornheim ( talk) 10:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
@ David Tornheim The problem is that I think nothing here is rescuable except maybe the unreferenced lead. And if we let it be, nobody will bother working on this - this needs to be cut down to a sentence or two, and built up again from it. I'll ping User:TompaDompa who has rewritten and rescued more similar articles than me so the can give you a few examples (I am falling asleep now). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
@ David Tornheim: I don't know if you regularly edit X in fiction articles and are familiar with the rather specific set of common problems associated with them, but in case you do not and are not (as well as for the benefit of others reading this): Newcomers adding unsourced material because they genuinely haven't yet learned how sourcing works on Wikipedia is certainly a problem, but it is generally speaking a relatively minor one. The most common reason these articles are so bad is that they were created long ago when standards were either lower or not as diligently enforced, and have never been cleaned up properly. This article is a case in point: the (terrible) list existed on self-replicating machine until it was (correctly) removed by Harizotoh9 back in March 2017. That would have been the end of it, except Fixuture restored it to this stand-alone article in May 2017. It languished in this form until it was nominated for deletion by Piotrus in June 2022. That eventually went to deletion review—the upshot was that there was agreement that the article was not in a satisfactory state but disagreement about whether it should be fixed or deleted entirely (both the AfD and the Deletion Review were closed as "no consensus"). Nearly two years later, the article has still not been improved. This is, unfortunately, par for the course.
The core problem is that most editors do not know how to write articles on topics like this, and their intuitive best guess—emulating TV Tropes—is wrong. This problem was outlined by Uncle G back in 2008 in the essay WP:CARGO. The way to do it properly (also mentioned in WP:CARGO, though both the problem and solution are described in a slightly different way there than I do it here) is to find sources on the overarching topic (in this case, that would be self-replicating machines in fiction) and then use those sources to write about the topic, taking care to abide by WP:PROPORTION by presenting each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject. This, of course, takes a lot more time, effort, and—frankly—skill than the typical TV Tropes approach.
I'm all for leading by example. As Piotrus alludes to, I have rewritten (and thus fixed) quite a few articles similar to this one during the course of AfD discussions—see WP:Articles for deletion/Eco-terrorism in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Earth in science fiction (2nd nomination), WP:Articles for deletion/Space stations and habitats in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Supernovae in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Neptune in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Genies in popular culture (2nd nomination), WP:Articles for deletion/Battle of Thermopylae in popular culture, WP:Articles for deletion/Loch Ness Monster in popular culture (2nd nomination), and WP:Articles for deletion/Time viewer. I have also brought three X in fiction articles to WP:Featured article status: Mars in fiction, Venus in fiction, and Sun in fiction—the Venus one in collaboration with Piotrus who also did the initial cleanup there (I cleaned up the Mars one, and created the Sun one properly from the get-go).
The hope is that when people see what it looks like when done properly, they will at minimum stop doing it improperly, and perhaps even start doing it properly. To some extent it seems to have worked: there are now a handful of editors who know how to write such articles and are willing to do so. Their levels of proficiency vary of course, but that's not a problem since it is a trainable skill—when I look at some of my earlier efforts I find them to be rather mediocre (which is still way preferable to outright bad, as the TV Tropes-style lists are). On the other hand it has not worked nearly as well as I would have liked it to—there are still a large number of editors, even experienced ones who should really know better, who do not understand or do not accept that WP:PROPORTION applies to fiction-related content and that such content thus needs to be demonstrated to be a significant aspect of the overarching topic by citing sources on the overarching topic. Removing unsourced (or inadequately-sourced) content and explaining the sourcing requirements sounds like it should be a straightforward way to maintain these kinds of articles, but it isn't always. In my experience, it is usually easier to get through to the editors who want to include something without the proper sourcing when the article is already in decent shape than during the cleanup stage. TompaDompa ( talk) 22:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Thanks. I'm still reading the rest of your response. Are you willing to help us fix the current article? Or consider the solution I suggested? I looked again at the history and saw that it appeared to be a fork off of the "self-replicating machines" article. No, I have not edited much on the SciFi stuff. But I know the problems from teenagers coming in and not knowing the rules. I'm all for teaching them. Will finish reading the rest of your response soon. One reason I can't stand WP:TNT, is because then we lose *EVERYTHING* that was written before and who wrote it. I would much prefer just seeing all the text that is poorly sourced removed and editors who put it in notified about the problem of adding unsourced material. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 23:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
@ David Tornheim As someone who invoked TNT, note that I also favor preserving the history of a page, hence the suggestion of a redirect to the main article. Sooner or later someone will restore this, in a proper way. Maybe even now - TompaDompa just recently did so with regards at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mind uploading in fiction, which in theory is still ongoing, but it will certainly end as keep. Note that the new article has next to nothign in common with the mess that I nominated (but said messis preserved in the history in case someone wants to check if there is something useful there).

@ TompaDompa: I finally found a moment to review the rest of your explanation. Thanks. I agree about the problem of WP:CARGO of amassing pointless lists. I have no reason to believe it should be difficult to clean this one up by focusing on what the WP:RS says about the significance the item has in fiction rather than just a list of things editors decided had the item (self-replicating machine). As in the examples you gave.
In this case, as I showed in my post, there are clearly reliable sources that discuss this. Why don't we amass a bunch of the best WP:RS and put it on the talk page? Then, attach the WP:RS to those items that are listed in the WP:RS--minimizing the current description to what the WP:RS says, and then delete all the items that have no WP:RS? And summarize what the WP:RS says about the topic. The result of that would a little like List_of_utopian_literature.
With more work it could evolve to be not even be a list at all--like the examples you gave--or like Postmodern literature, Literary modernism, Utopian and dystopian fiction.
As for stopping new additions, as long as it is on our watchlists, it should be no problem IMHO. I am willing to start doing that now, unless that would somehow mess up this AfD. Does anyone object to my moving forward with this plan? -- David Tornheim ( talk) 07:41, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Attaching sources to examples that were originally added without them is an approach that well-meaning editors have taken in the past with articles like this, but unfortunately it is merely a cosmetic fix that does pretty much nothing to ensure properly reflecting the balance given to different aspects by the sources. When we start with material added by editors based on what they personally felt were important and add sources after the fact, we end up reproducing and compounding those editorial biases. The way to get articles to reflect the balance of the sources is to use the sources as a starting point from which the article is built.
Turning this into a prose article is definitely the way to go. Experience tells us that the list format itself encourages the addition of content that lacks proper sourcing. The four articles you mention are not really examples to emulate—they are all (at time of writing) rife with unsourced (and likely also inadequately-sourced, though I haven't taken a close enough look to say that for certain) material. TompaDompa ( talk) 08:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I've removed the entire list, since it needed to go anyway. Feel free to start building an article based on proper sources unencumbered by the previous mess. TompaDompa ( talk) 08:28, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I might add that based on the sources I've found, this seems to mostly be discussed in the context of nanotechnology, so covering it at Nanotechnology in fiction (itself an article that needs to be rewritten from scratch) might be an alternative. TompaDompa ( talk) 08:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
@ TompaDompa: I do see your point about working from the WP:RS first rather than attaching ref to the list. It doesn't bother me that you deleted all the entries in the list that were not properly referenced. Those who want them back can ask.
I put in the three refs I found.
I disagree that this is primarily about nano-technology--even though that is mentioned in some of the sources. If you look at something like Autofac, those machines were not nano. I imagine there are countless other examples that are not nano. But it might be a subgenre of the self-replicating machines. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 11:06, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Just so we're clear, it's not whether the stories are about nanotechnology but about whether the sources are. Gary Westfahl's Science Fiction Literature through History: An Encyclopedia covers it in the "Nanotechnology" entry, for instance. Stephen Webb's All the Wonder that Would Be: Exploring Past Notions of the Future likewise covers self-replicating machines in the context of nanotechnology. George Mann's The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction does too. And so on, and so on, and so on. Of course, these may not be representative of the overall literature on the topic. The gray goo scenario probably goes a long way towards explaining why this is the context in which so many sources discuss self-replicating machines.

  • Comment There is one good source that covers the topic in-depth and at length: Rise of the Self-Replicators: Early Visions of Machines, AI and Robots That Can Reproduce and Evolve [ Wikidata (2020) by Tim Taylor [ Wikidata and Alan Dorin [ Wikidata. Part of chapter 4 (pp. 29–34) deals specifically with the topic of self-replicating machines in fiction, and part of chapter 7 (pp. 83–89) touches upon it a bit more. If there are more sources of this caliber it should be possible to write a pretty good article on the topic. With only this and sources where the coverage is a lot briefer and/or surface-level (or indeed lower-quality sources) however, I don't think there's a realistic approach to doing so without falling into over-reliance on a single source.

  • Merge to Self-replicating machine. GreenishPickle! ( 🔔) 00:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I changed my original !vote to include "oppose merge" [21]. Why? Although I agree the new version is short enough to justify a merge, that was after a huge deletion was just made on 4/6/24. Also, I appear to be the only one did a search and found some WP:RS. I would be surprised if there is not significantly more in literature books about science fiction and dystopic novels.
Also, the merge suggestion is to bring it back to "self-replicating machines" where I believe it was originally forked from. Although relevant to that article, I believe this topic is not primarily about abstract or theoretical concepts about such machines (as proposed by inventors like Descartes, von Neumann, Alan Turing, or recent discoveries in Nano-tech) that just happened to be fictionalized with the idea that these might be technologically feasible and desirable. Some of the most notable fiction writers like Philip K. Dick and Stanley Kubrick (or writers of Terminator) that use them frequently portray these with a clear sense of dread about what these machines might do if "left to their own devices", similar to a works like 1984, We_(novel), Logan's Run (film), and countless dystopic novels and films. These themes suggests to me that the portrayal of the machines in fiction is not about primarily about the technology itself, but is instead about telling important stories about humans and their relationship with technology and warning about perceived dangers.
Hence, I believe it should be available from both directions (fiction and technology) rather just technology side.
@ Zxcvbnm, Shooterwalker, Rorshacma, Greenish Pickle!: Those of you suggesting a merge, can you please address my concerns? Some of you didn't give much reason for your !vote and few discussed what is in the WP:RS. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 00:51, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Because as it stands, it offers no benefit to readers to have this as a separate article. It is a stub that half of is simply repeating the information found in the first couple of sentences in the Self-replicating machine article. Per WP:NOPAGE, even notable topics don't automatically need to have stand-alone articles when covering it as part of a broader topic gives greater context, which I believe is the case here after the terrible TV Tropes style list was correctly removed by TompaDompa. It is also important to note that merging now does now preclude it being split back out in the future - if a full prose article that is not just a list of examples can be developed, it can be easily restored as a separate article then. But until that is done, I would not advocate keeping this as a separate article. Rorshacma ( talk) 02:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply

This domaine is historically probably the oldest Ylang Ylang (NOT food) distillery and perhaps the oldest of all in terms of essential oils and perfumes. So your understanding, patience and encouragement are the order of the day.

  • Keep: As article creator. Also, that reasoning is very short, I doubt it's going to go very far. First AFD by creator and it's already an erroneous one. In addition, lack of templates is not a reason to nominate an article for deletion. If it's unorganized, why don't you be bold and fix it yourself? thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 22:02, 4 April 2024 (UTC) reply

You should consider making a response Delete or Keep. You just replying to someone makes you look rather foolish then anything. And his intention (zAviation21), is that the flight has absolutely no notability of anything, engine fires, emergency landings are too far way to common. They also don't even meet the requirements for an article. Its like making an article for a flight because lightning struck its wing.

  • Delete: That is only part of the problem. The big problem with this article is that it isn't a notable event.

Ok here is an example of a removed article that was pulled last month. UA35, you now what that is right? if not, it was a United 777 that lost a wheel on take off and hit a parked car. that was pulled due to it not meeting the notability criteria.

The article underwent AfD discussions in July 2023, leading to a "soft delete." However, it was reinstated in December 2023 by the same article creator, confirmed as a sockpuppet. Despite its restoration, the article fails to address the issues that prompted its removal in July 2023, particularly regarding WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Notably, in the Filmography section, nearly all entries list her as uncredited. The one exception where she is credited only features her in a supporting role.

  • Comment - Given that she received an in-depth profile in Aneka magazine (well, based on the amount of information, three or four pages - the maximum to expect from such magazines in the 1950s) it is likely that contemporary magazines gave her coverage as well. Unfortunately, most such magazines have not been made available digitally. Also, there was another actress billed simply as "Zainab" active in Indonesia in the 1950s (born in 1933, rather than 1935, and appearing in films such as Tiga Dara; source: Biran, Apa dan Siapa Film Indonesia, 1979), and so finding sources online would be difficult.
Please note that I was canvassed off Wikipedia. As such, I am not !voting.  —  Chris Woodrich ( talk) 19:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply
According to WP:NACTOR, an individual may be deemed notable if they have played significant roles in numerous noteworthy films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. However, this doesn't apply to this person and the other "Zainab," as they are credited as uncredited in both films they appear in. Ckfasdf ( talk) 23:31, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Never said that she met NACTOR; indeed, as you point out, she did not play significant roles in these films (I'm unfamiliar with Singaporean cinema, and can't speak to the significance or noteworthiness of the films themselves). Those comments pointed to the possibility that she met GNG, if access to older records were possible.

  • Keep. This is a useful short article on a skater who was successful in international junior skating tournaments; her best result was the Youth Olympics. Articles such as Figure skating at the Winter Youth Olympics work in their current format because there are articles on most of the medalists; there is therefore no need to say anything about the medalists in such articles. Deleting articles such as this one, through an over-zealous application of rules to borderline cases such as this one, has a detrimental effect on other articles.-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:38, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP of a cinematographer, not properly referenced as passing notability criteria for cinematographers.
The only notability claim being attempted here is that his work exists, which isn't enough in and of itself -- the notability test for a cinematographer doesn't vest in listing his film and television credits, it vests in showing third-party reliable source media coverage externally validating the significance of his work: coverage about him, evidence that he has won or been nominated for major awards for his work, and on and so forth.
But this is referenced almost entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, like his IMDb profile and the self-published website of his own employer, with the closest thing to a reliable source being a specialty trade magazine that just links to his name being present on the cover without showing any evidence that he was the subject of any written content inside the magazine — and even if somebody can verify better than I've been able to that he was the subject of an actual article, it would still take more than just one source to get him over WP:GNG anyway.
And even on his IMDb profile, the only awards listed there are regional (Leo) or specialty (Canadian Society of Cinematographers) awards that would be fine to add here if the article were sourced properly, but are not prominent enough to hand him an instant notability freebie without proper sourcing.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better sourcing than this. Bearcat ( talk) 17:38, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep although this company has not received lengthy coverage, tThey are well documented to have been a pioneer in private health funding in the UK (one of just three players throughout the 1980s and early to mid 1990's). Even if this were to be seen as failing SIGCOV, I think it should be kept on WP:IAR grounds as a company worth documenting due to its early role in shifting cost burdens to the private sector.
    @Eastmain added some cites. I have added several more. The article was in a bit of a sorry state, but I tried to add some context about their role in the move to private and top-up insurance. I also did some section reformatting to make the article less scatterbrained although there's an entire section on WPA Healthcare Practice that is unsourced and I don't have a good way of fixing that right now. Oblivy ( talk) 01:07, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
As you say, the organisation is lacking "lengthy coverage", not enough to meet WP:ORGCRIT, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." AusLondonder ( talk) 15:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Then the correct policy to apply would be WP:IAR which says that if a policy interferes with improving or maintaining the encyclopedia it should be ignored. Oblivy ( talk) 11:15, 7 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I have added another two links (one is just to support existence of WPA Protocol as the link is dead and not archived), and improved a link to an offline source by linking to the PDF. Previously I added an article from the Times which is significant coverage of the company.
I also had a look at the links added by @ Eastmain two of which are offline. There's actually quite a lot of sourcing for the article although the offline links make it hard to know how lengthy the treatment is. Oblivy ( talk) 13:48, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This is a company therefore GNG/ WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. Also, IAR isn't a policy that says "Let's keep articles that fail our notability criteria", it says don't let a rule prevent you from improving an article. There's no rule at play here preventing anybody from improving the article or for showing references that shows notability. HighKing ++ 23:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Both @ Eastmain and I have been improving the article and with the addition of the Times article I don't think there's a basis to say this fails WP:NCORP. I've modified my vote comment accordingly. As for WP:IAR it's a foundational policy, and appears at the top of every notability PAG. It absolutely says that where the application of those policies and guidelines would interfere with the project they should be ignored. Oblivy ( talk) 01:31, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply
You might be "improving" the article, but the first test is whether the topic is notable. You mention you've added the Times article but that article appears to be entirely based on a company announcement just like the other articles carrying the same corporate story such as "Insurance to Secure New Cancer Drugs" by Rececca Smith which appeared in the Evening Standard on the same date and also the article "INSURANCE THAT OFFERS LIFE-SAVING CANCER COVER" by Liz Philips in the Daily Mail, also on the same date (both articles available in WP Library). Also just to say, IAR along with all the other policies and guidelines are generally transcluded into various pages, not disputing that, but that doesn't give it any special hierachial weighting or put it above other policies. Feel free to correct me if I've misread your position, I accept IAR encourages editors to go ahead and improve articles and to do so even if that means breaking some rules - but are you saying that establishing notability doesn't matter so long as an article is being improved, and because AfD "interferes" with article improvement by proposing to delete an article, the AfD process is trumped by IAR and you can keep any old topic regardless of whether they meet notability guidelines or not? If so, that's a ridiculous proposition. HighKing ++ 18:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:52, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per WP:GNG and WP:HEY (and move to CaliforniaSpeaks). I have nearly finished rewriting the article completely; it's still very much a work in progress but much better than before. Anyway this was not "just a conference" and there has been WP:SUSTAINED coverage of the event in many academic journals subsequently. Most in-depth is Esterling, Fung and Lee (2015), "How Much Disagreement is Good for Democratic Deliberation?", Political Communication 32(4):529–551, which focuses on CaliforniaSpeaks and also happens to be widely cited. I also liked Lee, Caroline W. (2015). Do-It-Yourself Democracy: The Rise of the Public Engagement Industry. Oxford University Press. pp. 182, 204–205, 210. CaliforniaSpeaks even got a sizable footnote in James S. Fishkin's When the People Speak: Deliberative Democracy and Public Consultation, Oxford University Press, 2011. And of course there are a ton of newspaper articles like this 2007 one in Fresno Bee. The above just scratches the surface for sourcing and there already are several other good sources if you look at the article now; in any case it's enough to keep the article.

  • Keep but consider restructuring: Cielquiparle has improved the article to the point at which I'm landing at keep (albeit on the weaker side). I think, however, it would be a much stronger article if the article were reworked/renamed so that its topic were actually on the bill being discussed (which is not named here nor the aftermath well-covered). The start would be expanded from the current background section, the CaliforniaSpeaks consultation process would constitute much of the middle, and the end would feature the bill's passage through the house, financial analysis, and subsequent death in the Senate.

  • Delete Seems a failure of WP:10YT no lasting notability. Simonm223 ( talk) 18:59, 8 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Eh, keep. "no lasting notability" makes no sense, Simonm223, given that there was an academic article published about it eight years later. That article already makes it halfway-notable. If the books by Lees-Marshment and Fishkin and Kahn (no preview--thanks Google) indeed discuss the actual subject of the article, then we're easily past GNG, and AGF basically requires that we assume that these books do that. So that's "keep", already. Having said that, stuff like this may add to the background, but it won't add to notability, and "At the end of the event, AmericaSpeaks handed out postcards" really does not add to the encyclopedic quality of the article. Also, no, don't merge or rename this unless the books/academic article suggest that. AmericaSpeaks, as an article, is a promotional piece of crap. Drmies ( talk) 22:43, 8 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Son of Godzilla, the kaiju's first appearance. Much like the cases of Ebirah and Manda, available sources on the creature pretty much just cover plot and production details of the pieces of media it appeared in, rather than any kind of analysis that demonstrates notability of the monster itself. And to pre-empt the argument that was made on both of those AFDs, while the Japanese Wikipedia article on the creature cites numerous sources, those are also just supporting plot and production details, and are also largely from official Toho sources. The fact that a real life species of spider was named after the kaiju is an interesting bit of trivia, but not enough to base an article around. Rorshacma ( talk) 21:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply

A rather short article, based around a minor character in the series. I found two book sources that give a good paragraph on him, but nothing more. Every news source is just Screen Rant, and I can't find anything bar the two above, and the few things you can scrape together really aren't enough for a whole article.

Mexia Supermarket

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NCORP, fails WP:NEVENT.

Specifically, this is an article about either Mexia Supermarket the business, or about the event of the food there becoming rotten and going off after the power was cut there.

If this is an article about Mexia Supermarket as a business, then its notability is not established as the only sources cited are local newspapers and an ~1 minute-long interview with the guy in charge of the clean-up on an Ancient Aliens-style speculative television program. Local newspapers alone cannot establish the notability of an article per WP:AUD. An interview with the guy in charge of the clean-up is not an independent source and in any event was not significant coverage.

If instead we look at this as an event, there's a clear lack of WP:LASTING coverage or WP:GEOSCOPE. The newspaper coverage was all in local papers and all comes in an approximate four-week period from 13 November 1999 to 9 December 1999, with no coverage at all in reliable, independent sources after that - the story had no WP:PERSISTENCE. As discussed above, the interview is not independent and not in a high quality source, but additionally the real subject of the show it was on was not this event but simply to use it to illustrate what would happen to food stockpiles if humanity suddenly disappeared.

A search on Newspapers.com and other sources failed to turn up anything further covering this business/event. For the avoidance of doubt, Google Maps is not a reliable source.

Ultimately this is just a very run-of-the-mill event common in communities around the world: "local thing smells bad and people complain". FOARP ( talk) 21:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply

As stated on the article's talk page, I, as creator of the page, don't contest its deletion. I was more swept up in just making the thing than actually ascertaining whether it had enough coverage to qualify, which was rather silly given quite how much time I spent actually looking for sources; to clarify, I didn't find any further lasting coverage or initial coverage of the incident. As stated on the talk page, I was at least a little surprised by how little lasting coverage there was beyond that history channel docuseries.
I'd be willing to CSD it under WP:G7. CommissarDoggo Talk? 21:15, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
There were some TV news broadcasts about this story at the time, albeit still local. It may have been worth covering on a larger scale but maybe they didn't want the world to focus on the embarrassing incident. Beyond the 2010 appearance in Life After People, this story has gained more traction through a video by Blameitonjorge called 'Disturbing Lost Recordings of Real Events, uploaded Nov 25, 2023. It has as of now 739k views. The lost footage refers to the full unedited tape of the store from the Life After People episode showing rotted food and hazmat workers clearing it away. The News broadcasts are not publicly viewable currently. They are known to exist through news logs. This is a part of the
KXAS-NBC 5 News Collection at the University of North Texas. One may need special clearance and a fee to access the broadcasts. Here is a link showing 2 Mexia stories on the same page. There were some other ones too including the December public meeting held after the store was cleaned.

Like you said, this is still local coverage. It also doesn't get over the fact that this is a very run-of-the-mill story of the kind that regularly appears in local news. I mean, just looking at the news in the UK from the last 12 months for stories in the county of Sussex that are "thing smells bad, locals complain" I see:

This article about Vinheteiro fails to meet WP:NMUSIC.

Details about Vinheteiro in the article are not cited in accordance with source, which makes it seem to have reach the requirement of WP:NMUSIC e.g. the article stated that Vinheteiro participated in Brazilian programs such as Jornal Nacional (seems to meet criteria 12), while the source 'Jornal Nacional' was about his video of playing of JN's theme song went viral. e.g. the article stated that Vinheteiro performed in China with local musicians (seems to meet criteria 4), yet the source was about his videos' popularity on Chinese online video platform, Bilibili, where he launched online music courses.

Very old, largely unreferenced article with what looks like an extensive history of COI editing (though not recent).

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Reasons are listed below:

  • The article title, "Siege of Ontala (1599)," appears to be fabricated. There are no reliable sources mentioning either "Siege of Ontala (1599) [12]" or simply "Siege of Ontala [13]" that occurred in 1599. This name seems to be invented, as no historian refers to the military conflict by this name .
  • Among all the sources cited in the article, with the exception of "Encyclopaedia Indica: Mughals and Rajputs," all other sources fall under either WP:RAJ, WP:AGEMATTERS, or WP:V. The article lacks coverage in enough reliable secondary sources, thus failing to meet the notability criteria WP:GNG. The information can be easily merged to any of the parent articles.

Thanks for sharing these, @ Narook
From my perspective, 1 and 2 are not admissible. 1. We should not be using encyclopedias as proof of notability. 2. Does not describe a proper noun, it describes that a siege occured at this place. The existence of a siege is not what is under discussion but whether the acton was commonly referred to as The Siege of Ontala.
3. is great and supportive of keeping the page. However, I still do not think it is sufficient alone. Tennisist123 ( talk) 14:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as the sourcing in the article is lacking, mostly industry publications. While there's no specific bar on earned media being used for WP:NORG notability these are quite narrowcast and not indicative of independent reporting. The Wash U article is an outlier -extensive, independent but narrowly focused on a COVID/PPE issue. If other reliable in-depth coverage surfaces I'd be willing to reconsider.
    @ BoraVoro did you do WP:BEFORE searches? There is quite a bit of independent discussion of the company in connection with Hunter Engineering Co v Syncrude Canada Ltd but I don't see that blossomed into a broader article about the company. It would have been helpful if you had acknowledged the existence of such sources and explained why they didn't support notability.
    @ Mlaviolette is a single purpose account focusing on this company and its chairman Stephen F. Brauer. A query about conflict of interest is unanswered at the talk page for nearly 5 years, but this edit admits to working for the company. Oblivy ( talk) 14:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This is a company therefore GNG/ WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

  • Strong Delete On examining what is in his apparent Scholar page, many of the papers are not his, so the h-factors of 47 and 10k citations claimed by the original editor is incorrect. His university page https://cug.irins.org/profile/100821 has 357 journal articles claimed (dubious) and an h-factor of 28. Some of the claims on his patents are also very dubious on closer inspection. I have no tolerance for anything that comes close to academic dishonesty. Ldm1954 ( talk) 12:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    Can you explain why? I'm unclear on what he's being dishonest about. Oaktree b ( talk) 13:11, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    It's not uncommon for Google Scholar profiles to be inaccurate, because Google automatically picks up publications from people with similar names and the person whose profile it is doesn't take the effort to remove them again. Being lazy about curating one's profile is not dishonest. But the article creator should know better. If the article creator is taking the GS profile as valid when it isn't, that speaks to a certain lack of care but is not in itself dishonest. If the article was created through COI editing or undeclared paid editing (for which I have no evidence) then it involves likely oversight by the subject and then honesty might come into it. — David Eppstein ( talk) 20:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    As an addendum, please remember that Google Scholar profiles are created by academics, and they can (should) subtract inappropriate papers which might end up there. If you go to his profile and follow the papers to look at where authors are from, e.g. this and this you will see that they have "Man Singh" authors from different locations and very different fields. There are some where the initials are different. There are other interesting issues in the Wiki page such as the statement that he is/was a Dean, which I cannot verify at his university.

  • Delete. Looking through the top-ten-cited publications on Google Scholar, I see: "Ecofriendly application", "Cassia fistula extracts": Hindawi, dubiously-reliable publisher. "Survismeter": heavy self-citations. "Decline of human anatomy", "Soil fungi for mycoremediation", "monthly high‐dose vitamin D", "Structure and Biogenesis": different affiliation, probably not by the same person. "Methods and computer program products", "Chest pain": not even the same name. At #9, finally, we have "Physicochemical and friccohesity", looking legitimate but with 93 citations. That's definitely not enough for WP:PROF#C1.

  • Keep "Speak Gently" is fairly widely reprinted, and his poetry has attracted a bit of critical discussion (though not an overwhelming amount) [14] [15] [16]. More importantly, we get significant coverage of Bates here from the reputable Martin Gardner, which includes mention of obituaries in the Philadelphia Public Ledger and Philadelphia Inquirer, and a bit of coverage here. There are also some brief contemporary reviews of The Eolian, ie [17] and [18] and [19]. I think there's enough here to establish notability, especially for someone from the 19th century.

No consensus two years ago, and zero improvement since. The topic may be notable, but our execution is abysmally bad and begs for WP:TNT - after tiny prose lead, this is just a WP:IPC-violating list of random examples. I.e. this is another de facto list that fails WP:LISTN, a simple WP:INDISCRIMINATE listing of all instances self-replicating machines appeared in a work of fiction ( WP:NOTTVTROPES). If we were to approach it as an article, it falls WP:GNG, mostly WP:V and WP:OR). No prejudice to this being turned into a prose-based stub if anyone wants to work on this, but otherwise I think blanking/redirecting this would be best as 100% of the content we have here is unencyclopedic (TVTROPIS lists and OR).

  • Keep / (Oppose Merge per below The existence of these in literature, esp. science fiction, is hopefully obvious. Immediately, the topic reminded me of the fictional story by Philip K. Dick titled Autofac. If the article has problems, just work to improve it. I have not looked extensively at the WP:RS, but a quick search on Google scholar seemed to find a relevant article. Also [20], "Science fiction writers have kept pace. Phillip K Dick, Arthur C Clarke and Nobel-nominated Karel Capek have all toyed with the idea, before John Sladek based his 1968 satirical novel, the Reproductive System, on a self-replicating machine that goes wild. It set the scene for movies like the Terminator to tap into fears of robots capable of reproducing and taking over." Chapter 4 of this book starts "The growing popularity of the dystopian genre in early twentieth century literature was fuelled in part by a fear of how technology might negatively influence the development of human society [24]. Here we highlight works from the genre that involved ideas of machine self-reproduction and evolution". I think that WP:RS shows it is notable. I'm not a big fan of WP:TNT. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 10:17, 5 April 2024 (UTC) [revised 00:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)] reply
Piotrus Rather than WP:TNT, why not tag the portions you think could use sourcing and/or contact the editors who put the material in and put them on notice that if they can't find sourcing, their addition(s) will go. And when a new editor comes in and tries to add unsourced material, let then know right away that won't work. I have a similar article on my watchlist List_of_films_impacted_by_the_COVID-19_pandemic in which editors, esp. IP's, come in and add films about to be released that have no evidence they were impacted by the pandemic. I revert them and warn them. And I am slowly purging the list of films whose RS does not mention the pandemic. I'd rather teach the new editors to behave rather than destroy their "work". I have added this one, and can help in that regard.... -- David Tornheim ( talk) 10:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
@ David Tornheim The problem is that I think nothing here is rescuable except maybe the unreferenced lead. And if we let it be, nobody will bother working on this - this needs to be cut down to a sentence or two, and built up again from it. I'll ping User:TompaDompa who has rewritten and rescued more similar articles than me so the can give you a few examples (I am falling asleep now). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
@ David Tornheim: I don't know if you regularly edit X in fiction articles and are familiar with the rather specific set of common problems associated with them, but in case you do not and are not (as well as for the benefit of others reading this): Newcomers adding unsourced material because they genuinely haven't yet learned how sourcing works on Wikipedia is certainly a problem, but it is generally speaking a relatively minor one. The most common reason these articles are so bad is that they were created long ago when standards were either lower or not as diligently enforced, and have never been cleaned up properly. This article is a case in point: the (terrible) list existed on self-replicating machine until it was (correctly) removed by Harizotoh9 back in March 2017. That would have been the end of it, except Fixuture restored it to this stand-alone article in May 2017. It languished in this form until it was nominated for deletion by Piotrus in June 2022. That eventually went to deletion review—the upshot was that there was agreement that the article was not in a satisfactory state but disagreement about whether it should be fixed or deleted entirely (both the AfD and the Deletion Review were closed as "no consensus"). Nearly two years later, the article has still not been improved. This is, unfortunately, par for the course.
The core problem is that most editors do not know how to write articles on topics like this, and their intuitive best guess—emulating TV Tropes—is wrong. This problem was outlined by Uncle G back in 2008 in the essay WP:CARGO. The way to do it properly (also mentioned in WP:CARGO, though both the problem and solution are described in a slightly different way there than I do it here) is to find sources on the overarching topic (in this case, that would be self-replicating machines in fiction) and then use those sources to write about the topic, taking care to abide by WP:PROPORTION by presenting each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject. This, of course, takes a lot more time, effort, and—frankly—skill than the typical TV Tropes approach.
I'm all for leading by example. As Piotrus alludes to, I have rewritten (and thus fixed) quite a few articles similar to this one during the course of AfD discussions—see WP:Articles for deletion/Eco-terrorism in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Earth in science fiction (2nd nomination), WP:Articles for deletion/Space stations and habitats in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Supernovae in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Neptune in fiction, WP:Articles for deletion/Genies in popular culture (2nd nomination), WP:Articles for deletion/Battle of Thermopylae in popular culture, WP:Articles for deletion/Loch Ness Monster in popular culture (2nd nomination), and WP:Articles for deletion/Time viewer. I have also brought three X in fiction articles to WP:Featured article status: Mars in fiction, Venus in fiction, and Sun in fiction—the Venus one in collaboration with Piotrus who also did the initial cleanup there (I cleaned up the Mars one, and created the Sun one properly from the get-go).
The hope is that when people see what it looks like when done properly, they will at minimum stop doing it improperly, and perhaps even start doing it properly. To some extent it seems to have worked: there are now a handful of editors who know how to write such articles and are willing to do so. Their levels of proficiency vary of course, but that's not a problem since it is a trainable skill—when I look at some of my earlier efforts I find them to be rather mediocre (which is still way preferable to outright bad, as the TV Tropes-style lists are). On the other hand it has not worked nearly as well as I would have liked it to—there are still a large number of editors, even experienced ones who should really know better, who do not understand or do not accept that WP:PROPORTION applies to fiction-related content and that such content thus needs to be demonstrated to be a significant aspect of the overarching topic by citing sources on the overarching topic. Removing unsourced (or inadequately-sourced) content and explaining the sourcing requirements sounds like it should be a straightforward way to maintain these kinds of articles, but it isn't always. In my experience, it is usually easier to get through to the editors who want to include something without the proper sourcing when the article is already in decent shape than during the cleanup stage. TompaDompa ( talk) 22:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Thanks. I'm still reading the rest of your response. Are you willing to help us fix the current article? Or consider the solution I suggested? I looked again at the history and saw that it appeared to be a fork off of the "self-replicating machines" article. No, I have not edited much on the SciFi stuff. But I know the problems from teenagers coming in and not knowing the rules. I'm all for teaching them. Will finish reading the rest of your response soon. One reason I can't stand WP:TNT, is because then we lose *EVERYTHING* that was written before and who wrote it. I would much prefer just seeing all the text that is poorly sourced removed and editors who put it in notified about the problem of adding unsourced material. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 23:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
@ David Tornheim As someone who invoked TNT, note that I also favor preserving the history of a page, hence the suggestion of a redirect to the main article. Sooner or later someone will restore this, in a proper way. Maybe even now - TompaDompa just recently did so with regards at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mind uploading in fiction, which in theory is still ongoing, but it will certainly end as keep. Note that the new article has next to nothign in common with the mess that I nominated (but said messis preserved in the history in case someone wants to check if there is something useful there).

@ TompaDompa: I finally found a moment to review the rest of your explanation. Thanks. I agree about the problem of WP:CARGO of amassing pointless lists. I have no reason to believe it should be difficult to clean this one up by focusing on what the WP:RS says about the significance the item has in fiction rather than just a list of things editors decided had the item (self-replicating machine). As in the examples you gave.
In this case, as I showed in my post, there are clearly reliable sources that discuss this. Why don't we amass a bunch of the best WP:RS and put it on the talk page? Then, attach the WP:RS to those items that are listed in the WP:RS--minimizing the current description to what the WP:RS says, and then delete all the items that have no WP:RS? And summarize what the WP:RS says about the topic. The result of that would a little like List_of_utopian_literature.
With more work it could evolve to be not even be a list at all--like the examples you gave--or like Postmodern literature, Literary modernism, Utopian and dystopian fiction.
As for stopping new additions, as long as it is on our watchlists, it should be no problem IMHO. I am willing to start doing that now, unless that would somehow mess up this AfD. Does anyone object to my moving forward with this plan? -- David Tornheim ( talk) 07:41, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Attaching sources to examples that were originally added without them is an approach that well-meaning editors have taken in the past with articles like this, but unfortunately it is merely a cosmetic fix that does pretty much nothing to ensure properly reflecting the balance given to different aspects by the sources. When we start with material added by editors based on what they personally felt were important and add sources after the fact, we end up reproducing and compounding those editorial biases. The way to get articles to reflect the balance of the sources is to use the sources as a starting point from which the article is built.
Turning this into a prose article is definitely the way to go. Experience tells us that the list format itself encourages the addition of content that lacks proper sourcing. The four articles you mention are not really examples to emulate—they are all (at time of writing) rife with unsourced (and likely also inadequately-sourced, though I haven't taken a close enough look to say that for certain) material. TompaDompa ( talk) 08:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I've removed the entire list, since it needed to go anyway. Feel free to start building an article based on proper sources unencumbered by the previous mess. TompaDompa ( talk) 08:28, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I might add that based on the sources I've found, this seems to mostly be discussed in the context of nanotechnology, so covering it at Nanotechnology in fiction (itself an article that needs to be rewritten from scratch) might be an alternative. TompaDompa ( talk) 08:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
@ TompaDompa: I do see your point about working from the WP:RS first rather than attaching ref to the list. It doesn't bother me that you deleted all the entries in the list that were not properly referenced. Those who want them back can ask.
I put in the three refs I found.
I disagree that this is primarily about nano-technology--even though that is mentioned in some of the sources. If you look at something like Autofac, those machines were not nano. I imagine there are countless other examples that are not nano. But it might be a subgenre of the self-replicating machines. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 11:06, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Just so we're clear, it's not whether the stories are about nanotechnology but about whether the sources are. Gary Westfahl's Science Fiction Literature through History: An Encyclopedia covers it in the "Nanotechnology" entry, for instance. Stephen Webb's All the Wonder that Would Be: Exploring Past Notions of the Future likewise covers self-replicating machines in the context of nanotechnology. George Mann's The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction does too. And so on, and so on, and so on. Of course, these may not be representative of the overall literature on the topic. The gray goo scenario probably goes a long way towards explaining why this is the context in which so many sources discuss self-replicating machines.

  • Comment There is one good source that covers the topic in-depth and at length: Rise of the Self-Replicators: Early Visions of Machines, AI and Robots That Can Reproduce and Evolve [ Wikidata (2020) by Tim Taylor [ Wikidata and Alan Dorin [ Wikidata. Part of chapter 4 (pp. 29–34) deals specifically with the topic of self-replicating machines in fiction, and part of chapter 7 (pp. 83–89) touches upon it a bit more. If there are more sources of this caliber it should be possible to write a pretty good article on the topic. With only this and sources where the coverage is a lot briefer and/or surface-level (or indeed lower-quality sources) however, I don't think there's a realistic approach to doing so without falling into over-reliance on a single source.

  • Merge to Self-replicating machine. GreenishPickle! ( 🔔) 00:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I changed my original !vote to include "oppose merge" [21]. Why? Although I agree the new version is short enough to justify a merge, that was after a huge deletion was just made on 4/6/24. Also, I appear to be the only one did a search and found some WP:RS. I would be surprised if there is not significantly more in literature books about science fiction and dystopic novels.
Also, the merge suggestion is to bring it back to "self-replicating machines" where I believe it was originally forked from. Although relevant to that article, I believe this topic is not primarily about abstract or theoretical concepts about such machines (as proposed by inventors like Descartes, von Neumann, Alan Turing, or recent discoveries in Nano-tech) that just happened to be fictionalized with the idea that these might be technologically feasible and desirable. Some of the most notable fiction writers like Philip K. Dick and Stanley Kubrick (or writers of Terminator) that use them frequently portray these with a clear sense of dread about what these machines might do if "left to their own devices", similar to a works like 1984, We_(novel), Logan's Run (film), and countless dystopic novels and films. These themes suggests to me that the portrayal of the machines in fiction is not about primarily about the technology itself, but is instead about telling important stories about humans and their relationship with technology and warning about perceived dangers.
Hence, I believe it should be available from both directions (fiction and technology) rather just technology side.
@ Zxcvbnm, Shooterwalker, Rorshacma, Greenish Pickle!: Those of you suggesting a merge, can you please address my concerns? Some of you didn't give much reason for your !vote and few discussed what is in the WP:RS. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 00:51, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Because as it stands, it offers no benefit to readers to have this as a separate article. It is a stub that half of is simply repeating the information found in the first couple of sentences in the Self-replicating machine article. Per WP:NOPAGE, even notable topics don't automatically need to have stand-alone articles when covering it as part of a broader topic gives greater context, which I believe is the case here after the terrible TV Tropes style list was correctly removed by TompaDompa. It is also important to note that merging now does now preclude it being split back out in the future - if a full prose article that is not just a list of examples can be developed, it can be easily restored as a separate article then. But until that is done, I would not advocate keeping this as a separate article. Rorshacma ( talk) 02:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply

    I would argue that simply being a junction doesn't give a station notability, according to my interpretation of WP:STATION. Even in Korean I couldn't find anything outside of the fact that it exists. Granted, this may be because of the fact that the North Korean internet is not very good at presenting information about its country. OsmiumGuard ( talk) 00:51, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Fails WP:GNG/ WP:SIGCOV. None of the voters above made a policy based vote. A single source, no matter how in-depth, does not meet the multiple sources requirement. That said, nobody has seen this source and there is no evidence that it has in-depth coverage. Additionally, there is no obvious merge or redirect target, so WP:ATD can't be invoked. The closer should consider the strength of the arguments.

  • Keep: As article creator. Also, that reasoning is very short, I doubt it's going to go very far. First AFD by creator and it's already an erroneous one.

Ok here is an example of a removed article that was pulled last month. UA35, you now what that is right? if not, it was a United 777 that lost a wheel on take off and hit a parked car. that was pulled due to it not meeting the notability criteria.

The article underwent AfD discussions in July 2023, leading to a "soft delete." However, it was reinstated in December 2023 by the same article creator, confirmed as a sockpuppet. Despite its restoration, the article fails to address the issues that prompted its removal in July 2023, particularly regarding WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Notably, in the Filmography section, nearly all entries list her as uncredited. The one exception where she is credited only features her in a supporting role.

  • Comment - Given that she received an in-depth profile in Aneka magazine (well, based on the amount of information, three or four pages - the maximum to expect from such magazines in the 1950s) it is likely that contemporary magazines gave her coverage as well. Unfortunately, most such magazines have not been made available digitally. Also, there was another actress billed simply as "Zainab" active in Indonesia in the 1950s (born in 1933, rather than 1935, and appearing in films such as Tiga Dara; source: Biran, Apa dan Siapa Film Indonesia, 1979), and so finding sources online would be difficult.

According to WP:NACTOR, an individual may be deemed notable if they have played significant roles in numerous noteworthy films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.

  • Never said that she met NACTOR; indeed, as you point out, she did not play significant roles in these films (I'm unfamiliar with Singaporean cinema, and can't speak to the significance or noteworthiness of the films themselves).

An article on company/organization needs significant, independent, reliable coverage in multiple sources and at least one of those needs to be a regional or national source. Graywalls ( talk) 02:26, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep: This article by a California-wide magazine might count as regional significant coverage: [29], but it's an obscure publication. There's lots of information about this group out there, but as nom pointed out it's almost all local, affiliated with the VWA, and/or routine nonprofit listings. The article is well-written and informative, so it would be a shame to delete it, but without better sourcing that might be the only answer. WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk) 02:45, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ WeirdNAnnoyed:, This is an organization, so NCORP is the stanard to be met. "obscure publication" would likely not pass WP:AUD Graywalls ( talk) 23:08, 5 April 2024 (UTC) reply
