  • Delete. Fails WP:N. Poorly written page and the sources have no significant coverage about the subject. No particulars about background, early life and education in any source. One source is an unreliable blog, second has him shown as member of faculty and third shows bare image url. The subject is known to be a popular science writer but only in Institute of Philosophy of nature where he is an executive secretary. Reliable sources have to be independent, free of influence.

There might be later coverage in whatever native language this area speaks, it's Pakistan, I doubt any post-breaking news sources would be in English if they exist.

  • Merge - per NEVENT coverage does not need to be ongoing for notability to be established...a burst or spike of news reports does not automatically make an incident notable sometimes interpreting whether an event is sufficiently notable can be tricky.

    User:DIVINE, pay attention. I didn't say there were none, I didn't say there were some. I said nothing of the kind, and I didn't look, not in any language. I'm talking about the principle. If you want to prove that there is a lasting effect, you need secondary sourcing. You're not proving that there is a lasting effect; you're just claiming there is. Also, refrain from responding to everyone--that's badgering, and your comment below to Shazback is getting there. Drmies ( talk) 20:27, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: We have no consensus and, right now, two different Merge target articles mentioned (although a mention in each might be appropriate). I was surprised not to see this attack mentioned at Pearl-Continental Hotels & Resorts which does cover another disastrous incident at one of their hotels. Editors arguing to Keep should share any sources they have found that demonstrates LASTING coverage and influence.

I don't believe the subject meets GNG yet. It may be a case of TOOSOON. He has made a single substitute appearance against a non-professional team. Although he has been noted as one of the youngest players to appear for his club, I don't think he has attracted enough attention for an article yet.

American Trial: The Eric Garner Story

American Trial: The Eric Garner Story (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a film, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, films are not all "inherently" notable just for existing, and have to meet certain specific criteria to qualify for Wikipedia articles -- noteworthy film awards, a WP:GNG-worthy volume of third-party coverage and analysis (e.g. reviews by professional film critics, etc.) about them, and on and so forth. But the notability claim on offer here is that the film exists, which isn't automatically enough in and of itself, and the referencing is entirely to Q&A interviews in which the filmmaker is talking about her own work in the first person, with absolutely no evidence of independent third-party analysis about the film shown at all.
As it's not a film I'm personally familiar with, I'm perfectly willing to withdraw this if somebody can improve the referencing, but the filmmaker just talking up her own film in her own words doesn't get the film over the notability bar all by itself, if that's all the coverage it has and nobody without a direct personal stake in the film has independently written about or analyzed it in the third person.

  • Keep. She was the president of the ISS (primary sources here and here). The lifetime achievement award seems prestigious to me. She has had two Festschrifts in her honour, according to this non-independent source; that meets NPROF 1c. I agree the evidence could be stronger, and it doesn't help that the current version of the article reads promotional and has had CoI edits, making it hard to separate notability from promotion, but for me it's over the bar. I think we are likely not finding secondary coverage in Kannada; for example, apparently she is a long-term newspaper columnist, but I'm not finding those online, and could not read them if I did. Realise those are SPS, but if they are not coming up in searches then other secondary coverage may also exist but not be coming up. Tacyarg ( talk) 08:55, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    As said previously, notability of ISS is not demonstrated in secondary sources. Least of the president of ISS. Next, this "non-independent" source is merely a profile of post-doc visiting scholar on a 19 year old university -- These texts put on profile-page are usually provided by the individual themselves only. Not sure that university conducted such an extensive research on her without mentioning any sources or even that is a researched profile. Which makes this "non-independent source" more of a WP:SPS. And hence does not meet WP:NPROF C1 also, as every post-doc/visiting scholar in every university has a profile page of his/her on university domain.

It's the Festschrifts that take the article over the line for me. 1c says The publication of an anniversary or memorial journal volume or a Festschrift dedicated to a particular person is usually enough to satisfy Criterion 1, except in the case of publication in vanity, fringe, or non-selective journals or presses. Do you think the two publishers, Concept Publishing and Roopa Prakasana, are vanity / fringe / non-selective? I don't know anything about them. Tacyarg ( talk) 15:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Concept Publishing certainly resembles a vanity publisher, considering the very wide range of topics it publishes on, including basically illiterate pseudoscientific treatises on homeopathy.

    The source looks reliable in accordance with WP:RS criteria, particularly given its editorial policies, thus fulfilling all of the WP:GNG requirements. Also, that publication only chose 12 businesses across the whole country (some of the others are based in Florida and Michigan for example), so it clearly bestows this business with some sort of significance. Do you have any concrete evidence that would discredit the quality of the source? Vague unsupported claims like this screams sensationalism wouldn't be helpful. Lastly, the article creator's edit history has no bearing on the notability of the topic. Left guide ( talk) 08:04, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    Reliable in that these are that author's opinions, but reliable vs notable aren't quite the same. Articles in companies and organizations is the highest standard applied for notability test, because they're the most susceptible to promotional article creation. That article certainly wouldn't be something that can be used to support notability of each of 12 businesses. Graywalls ( talk) 10:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    I respectfully disagree, it certainly can be used to support notability for each of those 12 businesses. If it was selecting 12 businesses from the same city block (like the sources we've seen in Carmel-by-the-Sea articles), then that would likely be an indiscriminate source, but this is far different; it's choosing these 12 among thousands in the U.S. Unless there's evidence that this is a WP:COISOURCE (which doesn't appear to be applicable here), I don't see how this source wouldn't count towards notability. In any case, we can wait for input from others. Left guide ( talk) 10:55, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    " The 12 Best Grocery Store Deli Counters, Ranked" source is from a website that describes itself as "made up of passionate foodies" focused on providing "opinions on which items are worth buying" - so in addition to being an example of trivial coverage according to the WP:NCORP guideline because it is inclusion in lists of similar organizations, particularly in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists, it also appears to be a low-quality website focused on advertising and promotion.

  • Delete - according to the notability guideline, WP:GNG is not the only consideration, and we should also examine the What Wikipedia is not policy; the WP:NCORP guideline incudes a focus on a common issue of advertising and promotion in company articles, and assists with an evaluation of sources by outlining generally higher requirements for sources that are used to establish notability than for sources that are allowed as acceptable references within an article. Regardless of editor intent, sources related to companies can tend to be promotional, and if an article is primarily built from such sources and lacks the significant coverage described in the WP:NCORP guideline, it can be excluded according to the notability guideline and WP:NOT policy. For example, this article includes several bizjournals.com sources - which is American City Business Journals, a source that describes itself as "the premier media platform for companies strategically targeting business decision-makers," so this does not appear to be the type of independent content that helps support company notability. There are also several news reports related to the death of the founder; announcements of store openings and closings and products ( examples of trivial coverage); several reports about donating food boxes (see WP:ORGTRIV); and references to various books (cited without page numbers) used to support limited content in the article. The WP:SIRS coverage needed to support a standalone article does not seem to be available at this time. Beccaynr ( talk) 17:29, 6 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. Part of the problem appears to be that the article currently overfocuses on the Portland grocery stores owned by Zupan's Markets. In the 1990s, Zupan's Markets was based in Vancouver, Washington, and operated many other stores in both Washington and Oregon, including Food World and Food Pavilion stores. The 1994 opening of the Food World in Cascade Park to much fanfare (as a Costco-like store without membership with rollerskating staff...in the midst of a grocery workers' strike), followed by its closure one year later and subsequent sale to Safeway, is interesting and well covered by the business section of local newspapers. Cielquiparle ( talk) 03:17, 20 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Which means it still appears to be of hyper-local interest. Do you have any independent, reliable, significant source that is not local? per WP:AUD and WP:NCORP you would suggest as notability supporting pillars? These hello and goodbye announcements are ok for confirming closure and opening but they're not contributing anything to asserting notability. Graywalls ( talk) 04:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Routine coverage of local franchise openings and business closures are examples of trivial coverage according to the WP:NCORP guideline, and the first source also appears to be substantially dependent on statements from the store spokesman, e.g. what he says about the timing, his expectation for turnout, his description of the concept, his mention about commercial accounts, and his general promotion of the store; while some of this source could be used to expand the article, it does not seem to help support notability, including because of the promotional aspect.

    • Well, hang in there. The deletionists and overthinkers around here have discouraged me from working on no less than a dozen Portland related pages. Wanted to create a few, update others, etc. It's a total drag. Such a shame that so many editors are more interested in being pedantic and bickering over incredibly minute nuances of wiki-regulations with the passion of a lawyer in the final chapters of a John Grisham novel instead of, you know, sharing knowledge with the world, which is what this site is supposed to be all about. Unbelievably tedious. Constablequackers ( talk) 10:12, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment after additional content and citation added. We're now up to 36 references in the article and not a single one provides in-depth independent content about the company. For example, this article from The Columbian was added, described as an "in-depth article interviewing ~6 sources" but equally acknowledging the sources are "all connected in some way". So none of this is Independent Content, fails ORGIND. None of the stuff about openings/closings is relevant for the purposes of establishing notability as those articles inevitably all rely, entirely, on the announcement/PR from the company and therefore has no Independent Content, also failing ORGIND. If Another Believer or Cielquiparle believe there are a couple of particular sources which meet NCORP, please point them out here and also point out which pages/paragraphs in particular they believe meets NCORP.

    @ Beccaynr It's not cool to discourage article improvement at AfD, even if you believe it's futile. I have admired your work in improving numerous articles at AfD.

    I appreciate your follow up, Cielquiparle, because my intention is not to discourage article improvement at AfD; I linked to the Seattle Coffee Works AfD as a way to echo and emphasize HighKing's request for SIRS coverage to be identified in this discussion, because in that past AfD, it did take a long while to sift through the sources that continued to be added during the discussion.
    I do not think it is unreasonable to ask editors who are improving an article and advocating keep during an AfD to identify multiple sources to support the article according to the NCORP guideline. I think it is unreasonable to add dozens of sources, suggest notability-supporting coverage is somewhere in the midst of the additions, and other participants should review all of the new sources to determine whether they agree with this assertion of notability. These discussions are collaborative, not a battleground.

  • Keep per WP:GNG and WP:NCORP and WP:HEY. I actually agree with a lot of the analysis above, poking holes in various corporate press release-driven media coverage as sources establishing notability, although I think some of the categorical statements are too broad brush and extreme. Obviously this article and the sources cited have changed a lot over the course of the discussion, and by now it's clear that Zupan's Markets are not "just" an obscure family-owned business that no one has ever heard of outside of Portland. In fact, it got a lot of nationwide media attention in 2012 when it was the location for the "No Grocery Bag" sketch on Portlandia, and was even mentioned in TIME magazine. Going back to the 1990s, Zupan's Markets' practice of offering fresh fruit samples to customers was considered unusual (and "exciting"), earning it a favorable mention in Supermarket News. In terms of independent analysis of Zupan's Markets, that seeks to provide a "balanced" view, I would point to the 2017 Oregon Business article, "Zupan's departure dismays local businesses"; it assesses the impact of Zupan's Markets in the Belmont district over time as a catalyst for mixed-use development in a high-poverty neighborhood, and includes the opinion of other businesses in the neighborhood, with zero commentary from Zupan's. Another piece of significant coverage that seeks to take an independent, balanced view of Zupan's Markets is the 1999 Business Journal article "Hero or villain? Zupan's blunders ignite passions"; although it includes quotes from John Zupan and his lawyer, it also includes other quotes from the Portland City Council and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. If this is a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT and you feel that only national chains like Safeway, Albertson's, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods deserve Wikipedia articles, there is nothing I can do; but if your objection is to the gushingly positive descriptions of Zupan's or the "gentrification" of the food industry, I've tried to include some critique of Zupan's to balance out the otherwise rather favorable descriptions of the business. (But I fully expect it might not stand.) Cielquiparle ( talk) 12:49, 23 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • The objections have nothing to do with IDONTLIKEIT or requiring "gushingly positive descriptions" and it isn't helpful to include comments such as these. We require a minimum of two references which have in-depth "Independent Content". That's it. Nothing more and nothing less. None of those references come even close. The "Shock Departure" tells us almost nothing about the company other than they're a supermarket that didn't renew their lease. It certainly does not "assess the impact" of anything, it includes commentary from dismayed locals. Nor does one article which you've described as "significant coverage" concerning being cited four times for selling alcohol to minors include anything resembling significant in-depth "Independent Content" about the company.

  • I'll reply here to Cielquiparle's comments below so as not to mess up the formatting and subsequent discussion. In a nutshell, you're trying to dominate the discussion, repeating the same sources but not materially addressing the criticism, instead throwing shade at editors who point out why those sources fail to meet GNG/ WP:NCORP guidelines and accusing them of WP:IDONTLIKEIT or seeking a "Platonic level" of coverage which you say doesn't exist in the real world (despite the vast number of topics that meet the guidelines). This is not helpful to the process. If you genuinely want to "let other people make up their minds", then step back from the discussion yourself. HighKing ++ 11:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ HighKing Agree (with the last part). Trying to step away. Only keep coming back since pinged. Cielquiparle ( talk) 12:10, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply
The most in-depth articles on Zupan's Markets include two feature articles: "John Zupan runs grocery business at full throttle" which appeared in the Portland Business Journal in 1996, and "FRESH THINKING: Michael Zupan takes his parents' Vancouver-based grocery chain to new level" which appeared in The Columbian in Vancouver, Washington, in 2003; here is the continuation of that article on Page 2. In addition, there are numerous articles about John Zupan and Zupan's Markets after his death in 2011, like "John Zupan, Portland grocery 'maverick,' dies at 66" in The Oregonian in 2011. The obvious WP:ATD is to merge or more accurately, split, this article about Zupan's Markets into two biographical articles about John Zupan and Michael Zupan, since the notability threshold for articles about people is much lower than the threshold for organizations. That said, I do not believe this is the best outcome from a Wikipedia point of view; both individuals are mostly notable in the context of how they ran their family-owned business over a 50-year period, and I still maintain that the article satisfies WP:NCORP on the basis of these and additional articles provided in the earlier Keep paragraph above (for which I deliberately looked for non-feature articles focusing on a specific question about the company that didn't rely heavily on interviews with the founders) and that to dismiss all of it completely in pursuit of a Platonic ideal of coverage that doesn't exist in the real world misses the forest for the trees. I understand that HighKing and Beccaynr do not agree with this view, so please do not keep repeating that you do not agree and it is not good enough because it only serves to discourage further thoughtful participation in this discussion by other editors due to WP:TL;DR. We differ in opinion. Let other people make up their own minds. Cielquiparle ( talk) 06:17, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Additional sources have been identified and an ATD suggested, so in the spirit of a collaborative discussion, and because we operate from a baseline assumption of good faith, including that editors can change their minds based on new evidence and ideas, I considered the sources and the suggested ATD.
Source review
As to new sources presented:
  • the TIME magazine mention is not substantial coverage of the company, this is a brief mention in a report about Oregon politics and Portlandia
  • the 1996 mention in Progressive Grocer about having fruit samples is an example listed by a produce merchandiser and is one sentence about Zupan's, so also not substantial coverage
  • the 2017 Oregon Business source is not significant coverage of the company itself, but instead a brief report that seems more focused on the building, the neighborhood, and new development
  • I agree with HighKing that the 1999 Hero or villain? Zupan's blunders ignite passions source about an upcoming liquor license administrative hearing, with substantial quotes from Zupan's attorney is not substantial coverage to support notability per NCORP; we're not looking for a platonic ideal of coverage, but instead a level of depth and independence to allow us to develop encyclopedic content that is not advertising or a directory entry
  • Eater Seattle quoting a commenter in a brief post about Zupan's is also not significant coverage of the company
  • the 1996 Portland Business Journal is a bizjournals.com source that I discussed in a comment above; a promotional publication, and this source is substantially based on what John Zupan says about himself, what a "Business associate and racing buddy" says, what a close friend of Zupan's says, what Mike Zupan Zupan, etc - not independent content that can support notability
  • the Columbian "Fresh Thinking: Michael Zupan takes his parents' Vancouver-based grocery chain to new level" source is substantially based on statements from Michael Zupan, John Zupan, the landlord of one of the stores, and an architect who works with Zupan's - this is not independent content that can support notability
  • there are several sources related to the crash that killed John Zupan, including related criminal proceedings that do not support notability for the company, and the Oregonian source noted in this discussion is substantially based on quotes from people connected to John Zupan, and has some biographical content - even if this was substantially independent, the company does not inherit notability from an owner.

As to the suggested ATD, while WP:BASIC anticipates significant coverage could be developed by a combination of independent, reliable, secondary sources, this does not seem supported because the same challenge for developing encyclopedic content on this company and biographies of its owners appears to be the limited and often promotional sourcing that is available at this time.

@ Graywalls To confirm, if the article is merged and redirected to John Zupan, it should not be retained in its full form. Another alternative would be to merge and redirect to John and Mike Zupan, but in my experience, many editors struggle with the existence of double biographies even when they are siblings or married couples. In this case, it would be a BLP-plus-non-BLP. IMO of the two, John Zupan seems more notable (plus he's the eponymous founder). Cielquiparle ( talk) 09:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Graywalls Yes exactly! I wasn't putting it forward as evidence of in-depth coverage. I was simply presenting the TIME magazine mention as evidence that it's not true that no one has ever heard of Zupan's Markets outside Portland. While the Belmont store was still open, many travel guides (and the travel section of the Arizona Daily Star for example) specifically mentioned it as the "real location" of that Portlandia TV sketch too. By itself, it wouldn't justify keeping the article, no. Cielquiparle ( talk) 21:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC) reply

      The book notes: "Founded by the late John Zupan in 1975, Zupan's is a locally-and family-owned market that serves Portland's food-loving community. Likened to farmers markets, Zupan's focuses on quality, selling everything from the best meats and wines to the freshest produce, baked goods, gourmet deli products, specialty foods, flowers and more. Touting a unique grocery shopping experience, Zupan's stores are meant to indulge the senses, inviting customers to see, smell, taste and learn. Regularly scheduled beer, wine and cheese tastings are among customer favorites. Full-service floral departments (Burnside, Boones Ferry and Macadam locations) have beautiful fresh-cut flowers year-round and provide custom design, wedding and event services. The deli features handmade, home-style items with grab-n-go meals, gourmet sandwiches and catering. Bakery items are delivered from 35 of the best bakeries around the Portland area."

      The source contains quotes from the subject but there is sufficient independent reporting to amount to significant coverage. The article notes: "Zupan's, with headquarters in Vancouver by no means has the lock on specialty groceries and prepared foods. Among the most prominent are Nature's, Whole Food Markets and New Seasons. Trader Joe's, ... Zupan's stores are 15,000 to 20,000 square feet, compared to the 40,000 to 50,000 square feet of the traditional supermarket. ... At one time, there were eight stores, including one store in Battle Ground and two in Vancouver with one on Mill Plain Boulevard and another in Salmon Creek. They were operated as Zupan's Food Pavilion, and, in the case of the Mill Plain store, Food World. Today, there are no Clark County locations. The first two stores in Vancouver were bought in 1989 and sold in the mid-90s."

      The article notes: "Imagine the bustling, hip Southeast Belmont business district without Zupan's Market. Belmont residents don't want to think about it. But it could happen if the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, the Portland City Council and the Portland Police Bureau revoke the store's liquor license."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Zupan's Markets to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard ( talk) 10:54, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment As you well know by now, "sufficient coverage" is not the criteria for establishing notability. None of those meet the Primary Criteria once you apply the tests (which you ignore) outlined in WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND, something that has been pointed out to you on multiple occasions in the past. Of the sources you've listed, the first is a tourist guidebook which includes a summary which has been copied for the most part from Zupan's website at that time, fails ORGIND. The others have been explained as failing NCORP above. HighKing ++ 12:15, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    Per WP:ORGIND: For the coverage to be significant, the sources must describe and discuss in some depth the treatment of the employees or major changes in leadership instead of just listing the fact that the corporation employs 500 people or mentioning that John Smith was appointed as the new CEO. In other words, it's OK if the SIGCOV focuses on a specific aspect of the company, or a specific milestone, or a specific event, as long as it does so in-depth and in a meaningful way. Nowhere does it say that every piece of SIGCOV we are counting for notability must be totally comprehensive about every aspect of the company. For this reason, I stand by my original argument that multiple sources exist to satisfy WP:NCORP. (I accept that travel guides tend to be somewhat problematic though.) Cielquiparle ( talk) 14:08, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    I don't think anyone is suggesting NCORP says "every piece of SIGCOV we are counting for notability must be totally comprehensive about every aspect of the company." In my first comment, I mentioned NCORP has source assessment standards to help apply the second prong of the notability guideline, specifically that Wikipedia is not advertising and promotion; the three sources listed above all seem to be contrary to NOT policy - a promotional guide, a local feature substantially based on promotion by people connected to the company, and a promotional publication with a substantial focus on what the company's attorney says about an upcoming local administrative hearing.

It is also beside the point of the AfD, by not addressing the reason provided for deletion (lack of notability), but attacking the nominator's motives and going on a weird tangent by making allegations against a shadowy cabal of editors. I'm therefore giving this opinion no weight in assessing consensus, but noting that nothing prevents the creation of a redirect to wherever people may think appropriate.

  • Redirect — Outright deletion achieved through consensus in name only, built on a nomination intended to promote systemic bias, would solely benefit the desires of those editors who appear more interested in defining what's notable than reflecting what's notable. The question here: do we exist to provide a historical record, or yet another current events or news site? Few places on the encyclopedia show greater disregard for the notion of Wikipedia as a historical record than our coverage of U.S. radio stations. The topic area is dominated by a group of SPAs unafraid to edit-war and WP:OWN content. The overarching POV they push is that notability centers around a current, valid FCC license. Of course, we have WP:NTEMP/ WP:DEGRADE for a reason. Whether or not the nominator is a part of this group, the fact is that this nomination falls perfectly in line with that particular bit of POV-pushing. Potential redirect targets include List of radio stations in Alaska#Defunct stations, Eagle, Alaska#Education and Alaska Gateway School District. As radio stations operated by grade schools are still pretty rare, this is significant enough to warrant mention as part of the historical context of the latter two topics. Deletion provides an excuse for those who appear to believe that the existence of the station doesn't need to be acknowledged in any context.

    @ RadioKAOS: I'm struggling to understand your comments. It's actually an unacceptable violation of WP:NPA to imply that I am a "SPA unafraid to edit-war and WP:OWN content" - I have more than 30,000 contributions with a miniscule number relating to radio content. You're accusing me of being an SPA in the radio topic area when you have radio in your name! You say that the "overarching POV" editors such as myself push is that "notability centers around a current, valid FCC license." - you must be joking. I think notability is dependent on WP:GNG. I literally couldn't care less about a government-issued licence which does not contribute to notability per GNG at all. I genuinely don't even understand your comment about systemic bias.

    AusLondoner, "RadioKAOS" is actually the name of a Roger Waters album from 1987, a rock band from Los Angeles, and a record store in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. I'd go with the first of the three as to the inspiration of RadioKAOS's username. While there is a KAOS-FM in Olympia, Washington, our RadioKAOS has no association (I know, I asked once). My point is, just because he has "radio" in his username is not a valid arguement. Also, just because someone disagrees without, offers a different viewpoint, doesn't mean they are personally attacking you. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 15:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Of course disagreement is more than fine, would just be preferable if editors commented on the substance of the AfD rather than on the alleged motives of the nom.

Non-notable amateur/local brass band. I can find nothing to indicate that the subject of this (effectively orphaned) article meets WP:SIGCOV or WP:NBAND. In terms of SIGCOV, and after exhaustive searches (for reliable/independent sources to expand the article beyond the single/primary source we have), the only coverage I can find are passing mentions in regional papers - like these listings entries in the Belfast Telegraph. And "local interest" stories in similar papers - like this in the News Letter). And passing mentions (in articles about people connected to the subject) - like these online pieces in the local news website Northernirelandworld.com. I can find no coverage at all by the BBC or other non-local outlets. Google searches (for various combinations of the subject's name) barely return a few hundred results. Mainly the subject's own website, social channels and this Wikipedia article and its mirrors. That we need to rely entirely on primary sources, to establish even the basic facts, suggests that SIGCOV is not met. The NBAND issues are self evident. This local amateur brass band hasn't charted or released an album on a major label. And coming 2nd in a very specific category in a North of Ireland Bands' Association competition is objectively not success in "a major music award"... I have reviewed possible WP:ATDs. But draftifying this ancient article serves no purpose and I can't recommend redirection anywhere (like to Carrickfergus - as there is no related section and creating one would give UNDUE weight/preference to a single otherwise non-notable local community group). I, frankly, can't fathom why this article was created in the first place. Its original incarnation reads entirely like WP:NOTWEBHOST content....

    Helo Wcquiddich,
    I have re-purposed the interviews with founders (so that they do not fail WP:ORGIND). Have removed the reprints of office moving announcements and the coverage of their own awards (since it is not notable enough, understandably). Have also removed references that are not independent (e.g. the company's website) except where relevant (e.g. how their service works).
    As for the trivial coverage, I have moved the CNN reference elsewhere (which is more relevant), and have got rid of the startup rankings.
    Aside these issues requiring a quick-fix, I still believe that this subject is eligible for a Wikipedia page due to its substantial coverage on the internet. A quick google search will prove my point.

    Draftspace is a namespace where articles are held in the short term while they are being improved so that they can be moved to mainspace. Articles are not moved to draftspace in lieu of deletion on the off-chance that they may one day become notable. Sometimes the lack of notability is an edge case such as a brand new product or event that is days old for example, where reliable sources haven't quite had time to manifest, or where notability is almost-but-not-quite there. This does not appear to be a situation where the article would benefit from draftification. - Aoidh ( talk) 14:52, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - as far as I can tell, all extant sourcing is either primary or glorified press releases. ― novov (t c) 07:40, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Draftify - Firstly from the completely pragmatic perspective that the page creator clearly intends to re-create the page in draft if it is deleted. That is not a draftify reason though. However I think there is a case for draftification. I'll start with the reasons this is not a keep for me. The article has 17 sources but many are general and not about the subject. Looking at those about the subject, the three up front in the first paragraph of the lead are all just the product announcement. There is one source that has good information about the OS that is later (Marek, 2024), but this is from the Eclipse Foundation and not independent. The primary sourcing has also been noted above. So there is no sourcing here that demonstrates notability.
So it probably should be deleted, but I am a touch wary. The Eclipse Foundation is notable. This is a major project of the foundation, and although it is niche, I am not certain that no secondary sources exist. It is written about in secondary sources, e.g. [4] but that source, for instance, could be attacked for not being independent. There is mention of the Oniro working group in this book [5] but the mention is passing. It is also mentioned in this book [6]. None of this adds up to notability, but it could be WP:TOOSOON or it could even be that it is notable but unproven. The page creator is a new editor who created the article in good faith and wishes to continue working on it. As they become more experienced with our notability guidelines, they will come to understand what is required to demonstrate notability, and they are well placed and willing to work on this in draft.

Furthermore, allowing the page to exist in draft and encouraging the editor to continue working on it there could encourage the development of a potentially very good editor.

  • Delete: I can only find press releases from Huawei, not even really about this OS.

  • Delete - I don't think this is the same as a garage sale. A house clearance is "clearing items and household waste from a property, including sheds and garages." (I would probably just call this "house cleaning" or "house cleanup" in America.) I don't see any reasonable redirect target, so I recommend deletion.

A search for ""Pearl continental" gwadar -wikipedia" in google news shows almost all coverage from May 2019. Does not seem to have lasting coverage to meet WP:EVENT. LibStar ( talk) 23:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply

There might be later coverage in whatever native language this area speaks, it's Pakistan, I doubt any post-breaking news sources would be in English if they exist. (searching in right to left languages is hard). Failing that, merge (the one sentence in the article) to Pearl-Continental Hotels & Resorts. PARAKANYAA ( talk) 00:03, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Merge - per NEVENT coverage does not need to be ongoing for notability to be established...a burst or spike of news reports does not automatically make an incident notable sometimes interpreting whether an event is sufficiently notable can be tricky.

Relisting comment: We have no consensus and, right now, two different Merge target articles mentioned (although a mention in each might be appropriate). I was surprised not to see this attack mentioned at Pearl-Continental Hotels & Resorts which does cover another disastrous incident at one of their hotels.

Vote now changed to keep. A lot of the info here is from the company itself. Does not pass WP:CORP, very little coverage about it in general. Additionally, the article reads like an advertisement.

Article about a film, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, films are not all "inherently" notable just for existing, and have to meet certain specific criteria to qualify for Wikipedia articles -- noteworthy film awards, a WP:GNG-worthy volume of third-party coverage and analysis (e.g. reviews by professional film critics, etc.) about them, and on and so forth. But the notability claim on offer here is that the film exists, which isn't automatically enough in and of itself, and the referencing is entirely to Q&A interviews in which the filmmaker is talking about her own work in the first person, with absolutely no evidence of independent third-party analysis about the film shown at all.
As it's not a film I'm personally familiar with, I'm perfectly willing to withdraw this if somebody can improve the referencing, but the filmmaker just talking up her own film in her own words doesn't get the film over the notability bar all by itself, if that's all the coverage it has and nobody without a direct personal stake in the film has independently written about or analyzed it in the third person.

  • Keep. She was the president of the ISS (primary sources here and here). The lifetime achievement award seems prestigious to me. She has had two Festschrifts in her honour, according to this non-independent source; that meets NPROF 1c. I agree the evidence could be stronger, and it doesn't help that the current version of the article reads promotional and has had CoI edits, making it hard to separate notability from promotion, but for me it's over the bar. I think we are likely not finding secondary coverage in Kannada; for example, apparently she is a long-term newspaper columnist, but I'm not finding those online, and could not read them if I did. Realise those are SPS, but if they are not coming up in searches then other secondary coverage may also exist but not be coming up. Tacyarg ( talk) 08:55, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    As said previously, notability of ISS is not demonstrated in secondary sources. Least of the president of ISS. Next, this "non-independent" source is merely a profile of post-doc visiting scholar on a 19 year old university -- These texts put on profile-page are usually provided by the individual themselves only. Not sure that university conducted such an extensive research on her without mentioning any sources or even that is a researched profile. Which makes this "non-independent source" more of a WP:SPS. And hence does not meet WP:NPROF C1 also, as every post-doc/visiting scholar in every university has a profile page of his/her on university domain.

It's the Festschrifts that take the article over the line for me. 1c says The publication of an anniversary or memorial journal volume or a Festschrift dedicated to a particular person is usually enough to satisfy Criterion 1, except in the case of publication in vanity, fringe, or non-selective journals or presses. Do you think the two publishers, Concept Publishing and Roopa Prakasana, are vanity / fringe / non-selective? I don't know anything about them. Tacyarg ( talk) 15:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Concept Publishing certainly resembles a vanity publisher, considering the very wide range of topics it publishes on, including basically illiterate pseudoscientific treatises on homeopathy.

    The source looks reliable in accordance with WP:RS criteria, particularly given its editorial policies, thus fulfilling all of the WP:GNG requirements. Also, that publication only chose 12 businesses across the whole country (some of the others are based in Florida and Michigan for example), so it clearly bestows this business with some sort of significance. Do you have any concrete evidence that would discredit the quality of the source? Vague unsupported claims like this screams sensationalism wouldn't be helpful.

    Reliable in that these are that author's opinions, but reliable vs notable aren't quite the same. Articles in companies and organizations is the highest standard applied for notability test, because they're the most susceptible to promotional article creation. That article certainly wouldn't be something that can be used to support notability of each of 12 businesses. Graywalls ( talk) 10:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    I respectfully disagree, it certainly can be used to support notability for each of those 12 businesses. If it was selecting 12 businesses from the same city block (like the sources we've seen in Carmel-by-the-Sea articles), then that would likely be an indiscriminate source, but this is far different; it's choosing these 12 among thousands in the U.S. Unless there's evidence that this is a WP:COISOURCE (which doesn't appear to be applicable here), I don't see how this source wouldn't count towards notability. In any case, we can wait for input from others. Left guide ( talk) 10:55, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    " The 12 Best Grocery Store Deli Counters, Ranked" source is from a website that describes itself as "made up of passionate foodies" focused on providing "opinions on which items are worth buying" - so in addition to being an example of trivial coverage according to the WP:NCORP guideline because it is inclusion in lists of similar organizations, particularly in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists, it also appears to be a low-quality website focused on advertising and promotion.

  • Delete - according to the notability guideline, WP:GNG is not the only consideration, and we should also examine the What Wikipedia is not policy; the WP:NCORP guideline incudes a focus on a common issue of advertising and promotion in company articles, and assists with an evaluation of sources by outlining generally higher requirements for sources that are used to establish notability than for sources that are allowed as acceptable references within an article. Regardless of editor intent, sources related to companies can tend to be promotional, and if an article is primarily built from such sources and lacks the significant coverage described in the WP:NCORP guideline, it can be excluded according to the notability guideline and WP:NOT policy. For example, this article includes several bizjournals.com sources - which is American City Business Journals, a source that describes itself as "the premier media platform for companies strategically targeting business decision-makers," so this does not appear to be the type of independent content that helps support company notability. There are also several news reports related to the death of the founder; announcements of store openings and closings and products ( examples of trivial coverage); several reports about donating food boxes (see WP:ORGTRIV); and references to various books (cited without page numbers) used to support limited content in the article. The WP:SIRS coverage needed to support a standalone article does not seem to be available at this time. Beccaynr ( talk) 17:29, 6 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. Part of the problem appears to be that the article currently overfocuses on the Portland grocery stores owned by Zupan's Markets. In the 1990s, Zupan's Markets was based in Vancouver, Washington, and operated many other stores in both Washington and Oregon, including Food World and Food Pavilion stores. The 1994 opening of the Food World in Cascade Park to much fanfare (as a Costco-like store without membership with rollerskating staff...in the midst of a grocery workers' strike), followed by its closure one year later and subsequent sale to Safeway, is interesting and well covered by the business section of local newspapers. Cielquiparle ( talk) 03:17, 20 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Which means it still appears to be of hyper-local interest. Do you have any independent, reliable, significant source that is not local? per WP:AUD and WP:NCORP you would suggest as notability supporting pillars? These hello and goodbye announcements are ok for confirming closure and opening but they're not contributing anything to asserting notability. Graywalls ( talk) 04:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Routine coverage of local franchise openings and business closures are examples of trivial coverage according to the WP:NCORP guideline, and the first source also appears to be substantially dependent on statements from the store spokesman, e.g. what he says about the timing, his expectation for turnout, his description of the concept, his mention about commercial accounts, and his general promotion of the store; while some of this source could be used to expand the article, it does not seem to help support notability, including because of the promotional aspect.

    • Well, hang in there. The deletionists and overthinkers around here have discouraged me from working on no less than a dozen Portland related pages. Wanted to create a few, update others, etc. It's a total drag. Such a shame that so many editors are more interested in being pedantic and bickering over incredibly minute nuances of wiki-regulations with the passion of a lawyer in the final chapters of a John Grisham novel instead of, you know, sharing knowledge with the world, which is what this site is supposed to be all about. Unbelievably tedious. Constablequackers ( talk) 10:12, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment after additional content and citation added. We're now up to 36 references in the article and not a single one provides in-depth independent content about the company. For example, this article from The Columbian was added, described as an "in-depth article interviewing ~6 sources" but equally acknowledging the sources are "all connected in some way". So none of this is Independent Content, fails ORGIND. None of the stuff about openings/closings is relevant for the purposes of establishing notability as those articles inevitably all rely, entirely, on the announcement/PR from the company and therefore has no Independent Content, also failing ORGIND. If Another Believer or Cielquiparle believe there are a couple of particular sources which meet NCORP, please point them out here and also point out which pages/paragraphs in particular they believe meets NCORP.

    @ Beccaynr It's not cool to discourage article improvement at AfD, even if you believe it's futile. I have admired your work in improving numerous articles at AfD. It takes a while to sift through tons of coverage like Zupan's Markets has over its nearly 50 years of operation. Cielquiparle ( talk) 12:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    I appreciate your follow up, Cielquiparle, because my intention is not to discourage article improvement at AfD; I linked to the Seattle Coffee Works AfD as a way to echo and emphasize HighKing's request for SIRS coverage to be identified in this discussion, because in that past AfD, it did take a long while to sift through the sources that continued to be added during the discussion.
    I do not think it is unreasonable to ask editors who are improving an article and advocating keep during an AfD to identify multiple sources to support the article according to the NCORP guideline. I think it is unreasonable to add dozens of sources, suggest notability-supporting coverage is somewhere in the midst of the additions, and other participants should review all of the new sources to determine whether they agree with this assertion of notability. These discussions are collaborative, not a battleground.
    And I also admire your article improvement work, and think your comment below is an example of collaborative AfD participation (e.g. identifying sources for evaluation) that can help further develop the discussion. Thank you, Beccaynr ( talk) 15:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per WP:GNG and WP:NCORP and WP:HEY. I actually agree with a lot of the analysis above, poking holes in various corporate press release-driven media coverage as sources establishing notability, although I think some of the categorical statements are too broad brush and extreme. Obviously this article and the sources cited have changed a lot over the course of the discussion, and by now it's clear that Zupan's Markets are not "just" an obscure family-owned business that no one has ever heard of outside of Portland. In fact, it got a lot of nationwide media attention in 2012 when it was the location for the "No Grocery Bag" sketch on Portlandia, and was even mentioned in TIME magazine. Going back to the 1990s, Zupan's Markets' practice of offering fresh fruit samples to customers was considered unusual (and "exciting"), earning it a favorable mention in Supermarket News. In terms of independent analysis of Zupan's Markets, that seeks to provide a "balanced" view, I would point to the 2017 Oregon Business article, "Zupan's departure dismays local businesses"; it assesses the impact of Zupan's Markets in the Belmont district over time as a catalyst for mixed-use development in a high-poverty neighborhood, and includes the opinion of other businesses in the neighborhood, with zero commentary from Zupan's. Another piece of significant coverage that seeks to take an independent, balanced view of Zupan's Markets is the 1999 Business Journal article "Hero or villain? Zupan's blunders ignite passions"; although it includes quotes from John Zupan and his lawyer, it also includes other quotes from the Portland City Council and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. If this is a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT and you feel that only national chains like Safeway, Albertson's, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods deserve Wikipedia articles, there is nothing I can do; but if your objection is to the gushingly positive descriptions of Zupan's or the "gentrification" of the food industry, I've tried to include some critique of Zupan's to balance out the otherwise rather favorable descriptions of the business. (But I fully expect it might not stand.) Cielquiparle ( talk) 12:49, 23 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • The objections have nothing to do with IDONTLIKEIT or requiring "gushingly positive descriptions" and it isn't helpful to include comments such as these. We require a minimum of two references which have in-depth "Independent Content". That's it. Nothing more and nothing less. None of those references come even close. The "Shock Departure" tells us almost nothing about the company other than they're a supermarket that didn't renew their lease. It certainly does not "assess the impact" of anything, it includes commentary from dismayed locals. Nor does one article which you've described as "significant coverage" concerning being cited four times for selling alcohol to minors include anything resembling significant in-depth "Independent Content" about the company. HighKing ++ 21:54, 23 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • I'll reply here to Cielquiparle's comments below so as not to mess up the formatting and subsequent discussion. In a nutshell, you're trying to dominate the discussion, repeating the same sources but not materially addressing the criticism, instead throwing shade at editors who point out why those sources fail to meet GNG/ WP:NCORP guidelines and accusing them of WP:IDONTLIKEIT or seeking a "Platonic level" of coverage which you say doesn't exist in the real world (despite the vast number of topics that meet the guidelines). This is not helpful to the process. If you genuinely want to "let other people make up their minds", then step back from the discussion yourself. HighKing ++ 11:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    @ HighKing Agree (with the last part). Trying to step away. Only keep coming back since pinged. Cielquiparle ( talk) 12:10, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply
The most in-depth articles on Zupan's Markets include two feature articles: "John Zupan runs grocery business at full throttle" which appeared in the Portland Business Journal in 1996, and "FRESH THINKING: Michael Zupan takes his parents' Vancouver-based grocery chain to new level" which appeared in The Columbian in Vancouver, Washington, in 2003; here is the continuation of that article on Page 2. In addition, there are numerous articles about John Zupan and Zupan's Markets after his death in 2011, like "John Zupan, Portland grocery 'maverick,' dies at 66" in The Oregonian in 2011. The obvious WP:ATD is to merge or more accurately, split, this article about Zupan's Markets into two biographical articles about John Zupan and Michael Zupan, since the notability threshold for articles about people is much lower than the threshold for organizations. That said, I do not believe this is the best outcome from a Wikipedia point of view; both individuals are mostly notable in the context of how they ran their family-owned business over a 50-year period, and I still maintain that the article satisfies WP:NCORP on the basis of these and additional articles provided in the earlier Keep paragraph above (for which I deliberately looked for non-feature articles focusing on a specific question about the company that didn't rely heavily on interviews with the founders) and that to dismiss all of it completely in pursuit of a Platonic ideal of coverage that doesn't exist in the real world misses the forest for the trees. I understand that HighKing and Beccaynr do not agree with this view, so please do not keep repeating that you do not agree and it is not good enough because it only serves to discourage further thoughtful participation in this discussion by other editors due to WP:TL;DR. We differ in opinion. Let other people make up their own minds. Cielquiparle ( talk) 06:17, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Additional sources have been identified and an ATD suggested, so in the spirit of a collaborative discussion, and because we operate from a baseline assumption of good faith, including that editors can change their minds based on new evidence and ideas, I considered the sources and the suggested ATD.
Source review
As to new sources presented:
  • the TIME magazine mention is not substantial coverage of the company, this is a brief mention in a report about Oregon politics and Portlandia
  • the 1996 mention in Progressive Grocer about having fruit samples is an example listed by a produce merchandiser and is one sentence about Zupan's, so also not substantial coverage
  • the 2017 Oregon Business source is not significant coverage of the company itself, but instead a brief report that seems more focused on the building, the neighborhood, and new development
  • I agree with HighKing that the 1999 Hero or villain? Zupan's blunders ignite passions source about an upcoming liquor license administrative hearing, with substantial quotes from Zupan's attorney is not substantial coverage to support notability per NCORP; we're not looking for a platonic ideal of coverage, but instead a level of depth and independence to allow us to develop encyclopedic content that is not advertising or a directory entry
  • Eater Seattle quoting a commenter in a brief post about Zupan's is also not significant coverage of the company
  • the 1996 Portland Business Journal is a bizjournals.com source that I discussed in a comment above; a promotional publication, and this source is substantially based on what John Zupan says about himself, what a "Business associate and racing buddy" says, what a close friend of Zupan's says, what Mike Zupan Zupan, etc - not independent content that can support notability
  • the Columbian "Fresh Thinking: Michael Zupan takes his parents' Vancouver-based grocery chain to new level" source is substantially based on statements from Michael Zupan, John Zupan, the landlord of one of the stores, and an architect who works with Zupan's - this is not independent content that can support notability
  • there are several sources related to the crash that killed John Zupan, including related criminal proceedings that do not support notability for the company, and the Oregonian source noted in this discussion is substantially based on quotes from people connected to John Zupan, and has some biographical content - even if this was substantially independent, the company does not inherit notability from an owner.

As to the suggested ATD, while WP:BASIC anticipates significant coverage could be developed by a combination of independent, reliable, secondary sources, this does not seem supported because the same challenge for developing encyclopedic content on this company and biographies of its owners appears to be the limited and often promotional sourcing that is available at this time.

@ Graywalls To confirm, if the article is merged and redirected to John Zupan, it should not be retained in its full form. Another alternative would be to merge and redirect to John and Mike Zupan, but in my experience, many editors struggle with the existence of double biographies even when they are siblings or married couples. In this case, it would be a BLP-plus-non-BLP. IMO of the two, John Zupan seems more notable (plus he's the eponymous founder). Cielquiparle ( talk) 09:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply
I personally don't agree with creating an "anchor" bio article to be used to retain a company article that may not pass NCORP. I am also not certain John Zupan merits meets WP:ANYBIO. I've not put time into investigating. Graywalls ( talk) 09:14, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply
@ Graywalls As I said in an above paragraph, I'm OK with redirecting John Zupan to Zupan's Markets. Maybe there is no need to have two separate articles. I just thought it was helpful to "see" it so we could decide accordingly. Cielquiparle ( talk) 10:11, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Cielquiparle:I have looked at your addition about plastic bag. This is tangential mention of Zupan's and pure fluff of no real substance. Graywalls ( talk) 21:25, 24 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Graywalls Yes exactly! I wasn't putting it forward as evidence of in-depth coverage. I was simply presenting the TIME magazine mention as evidence that it's not true that no one has ever heard of Zupan's Markets outside Portland. While the Belmont store was still open, many travel guides (and the travel section of the Arizona Daily Star for example) specifically mentioned it as the "real location" of that Portlandia TV sketch too. By itself, it wouldn't justify keeping the article, no. Cielquiparle ( talk) 21:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC) reply

      The book notes: "Founded by the late John Zupan in 1975, Zupan's is a locally-and family-owned market that serves Portland's food-loving community. Likened to farmers markets, Zupan's focuses on quality, selling everything from the best meats and wines to the freshest produce, baked goods, gourmet deli products, specialty foods, flowers and more. Touting a unique grocery shopping experience, Zupan's stores are meant to indulge the senses, inviting customers to see, smell, taste and learn. Regularly scheduled beer, wine and cheese tastings are among customer favorites. Full-service floral departments (Burnside, Boones Ferry and Macadam locations) have beautiful fresh-cut flowers year-round and provide custom design, wedding and event services. The deli features handmade, home-style items with grab-n-go meals, gourmet sandwiches and catering. Bakery items are delivered from 35 of the best bakeries around the Portland area."

      The source contains quotes from the subject but there is sufficient independent reporting to amount to significant coverage. The article notes: "Zupan's, with headquarters in Vancouver by no means has the lock on specialty groceries and prepared foods. Among the most prominent are Nature's, Whole Food Markets and New Seasons. Trader Joe's, ... Zupan's stores are 15,000 to 20,000 square feet, compared to the 40,000 to 50,000 square feet of the traditional supermarket. ... At one time, there were eight stores, including one store in Battle Ground and two in Vancouver with one on Mill Plain Boulevard and another in Salmon Creek. They were operated as Zupan's Food Pavilion, and, in the case of the Mill Plain store, Food World. Today, there are no Clark County locations. The first two stores in Vancouver were bought in 1989 and sold in the mid-90s."

      The article notes: "Imagine the bustling, hip Southeast Belmont business district without Zupan's Market. Belmont residents don't want to think about it. But it could happen if the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, the Portland City Council and the Portland Police Bureau revoke the store's liquor license."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Zupan's Markets to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard ( talk) 10:54, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Comment As you well know by now, "sufficient coverage" is not the criteria for establishing notability. None of those meet the Primary Criteria once you apply the tests (which you ignore) outlined in WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND, something that has been pointed out to you on multiple occasions in the past. Of the sources you've listed, the first is a tourist guidebook which includes a summary which has been copied for the most part from Zupan's website at that time, fails ORGIND. The others have been explained as failing NCORP above. HighKing ++ 12:15, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    Per WP:ORGIND: For the coverage to be significant, the sources must describe and discuss in some depth the treatment of the employees or major changes in leadership instead of just listing the fact that the corporation employs 500 people or mentioning that John Smith was appointed as the new CEO. In other words, it's OK if the SIGCOV focuses on a specific aspect of the company, or a specific milestone, or a specific event, as long as it does so in-depth and in a meaningful way. Nowhere does it say that every piece of SIGCOV we are counting for notability must be totally comprehensive about every aspect of the company. For this reason, I stand by my original argument that multiple sources exist to satisfy WP:NCORP. (I accept that travel guides tend to be somewhat problematic though.) Cielquiparle ( talk) 14:08, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    I don't think anyone is suggesting NCORP says "every piece of SIGCOV we are counting for notability must be totally comprehensive about every aspect of the company." In my first comment, I mentioned NCORP has source assessment standards to help apply the second prong of the notability guideline, specifically that Wikipedia is not advertising and promotion; the three sources listed above all seem to be contrary to NOT policy - a promotional guide, a local feature substantially based on promotion by people connected to the company, and a promotional publication with a substantial focus on what the company's attorney says about an upcoming local administrative hearing.

The result was delete‎. Nobody wants to keep this, and the "redirect" opinion does not propose a specific redirect target. It is also beside the point of the AfD, by not addressing the reason provided for deletion (lack of notability), but attacking the nominator's motives and going on a weird tangent by making allegations against a shadowy cabal of editors. I'm therefore giving this opinion no weight in assessing consensus, but noting that nothing prevents the creation of a redirect to wherever people may think appropriate.

  • Delete: Another obvious remnant of the looser notability "standards" present in this topic area in 2008. (Even then, this apparently was a recreation of an article deleted via PROD in 2007 with the rationale Article does not establish notability, and low-power FM radio stations in the US are generally non-notable.. Suffice it to say that's a deletion rationale that, in this topic area, you would have been more likely to encounter today [after a 2021 RfC closed the books on the notion on broadcast stations getting a more lenient notability guideline than the GNG] than in 2007…) For what it's worth, while non-notability is probably as unable to be inherited as notability is, Eagle Community School itself has no article, so any redirect in that realm isn't happening (the school district it's in does, but a redirect would be a surprise and a merge would be undue).

  • Redirect — Outright deletion achieved through consensus in name only, built on a nomination intended to promote systemic bias, would solely benefit the desires of those editors who appear more interested in defining what's notable than reflecting what's notable. The question here: do we exist to provide a historical record, or yet another current events or news site? Few places on the encyclopedia show greater disregard for the notion of Wikipedia as a historical record than our coverage of U.S. radio stations. The topic area is dominated by a group of SPAs unafraid to edit-war and WP:OWN content. The overarching POV they push is that notability centers around a current, valid FCC license. Of course, we have WP:NTEMP/ WP:DEGRADE for a reason. Whether or not the nominator is a part of this group, the fact is that this nomination falls perfectly in line with that particular bit of POV-pushing. Potential redirect targets include List of radio stations in Alaska#Defunct stations, Eagle, Alaska#Education and Alaska Gateway School District. As radio stations operated by grade schools are still pretty rare, this is significant enough to warrant mention as part of the historical context of the latter two topics. Deletion provides an excuse for those who appear to believe that the existence of the station doesn't need to be acknowledged in any context.

    @ RadioKAOS: I'm struggling to understand your comments. It's actually an unacceptable violation of WP:NPA to imply that I am a "SPA unafraid to edit-war and WP:OWN content" - I have more than 30,000 contributions with a miniscule number relating to radio content. You're accusing me of being an SPA in the radio topic area when you have radio in your name! You say that the "overarching POV" editors such as myself push is that "notability centers around a current, valid FCC license." - you must be joking. I think notability is dependent on WP:GNG. I literally couldn't care less about a government-issued licence which does not contribute to notability per GNG at all. I genuinely don't even understand your comment about systemic bias. Systemic bias against unsourced articles? AusLondonder ( talk) 14:50, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    AusLondoner, "RadioKAOS" is actually the name of a Roger Waters album from 1987, a rock band from Los Angeles, and a record store in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. I'd go with the first of the three as to the inspiration of RadioKAOS's username. While there is a KAOS-FM in Olympia, Washington, our RadioKAOS has no association (I know, I asked once). My point is, just because he has "radio" in his username is not a valid arguement. Also, just because someone disagrees without, offers a different viewpoint, doesn't mean they are personally attacking you. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 15:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC) reply
    I guess you missed the bits about "The topic area is dominated by a group of SPAs unafraid to edit-war and WP:OWN content" and "the fact is that this nomination falls perfectly in line with that particular bit of POV-pushing" I'm not suggesting there's an issue with the name, it was more a sarcastic comment given the remarks about SPAs and ownership of radio content. Of course disagreement is more than fine, would just be preferable if editors commented on the substance of the AfD rather than on the alleged motives of the nom. Per WP:NPA: "Comment on content, not on the contributor."

Non-notable amateur/local brass band. I can find nothing to indicate that the subject of this (effectively orphaned) article meets WP:SIGCOV or WP:NBAND. In terms of SIGCOV, and after exhaustive searches (for reliable/independent sources to expand the article beyond the single/primary source we have), the only coverage I can find are passing mentions in regional papers - like these listings entries in the Belfast Telegraph. And "local interest" stories in similar papers - like this in the News Letter). And passing mentions (in articles about people connected to the subject) - like these online pieces in the local news website Northernirelandworld.com. I can find no coverage at all by the BBC or other non-local outlets. Google searches (for various combinations of the subject's name) barely return a few hundred results. Mainly the subject's own website, social channels and this Wikipedia article and its mirrors. That we need to rely entirely on primary sources, to establish even the basic facts, suggests that SIGCOV is not met. The NBAND issues are self evident. This local amateur brass band hasn't charted or released an album on a major label. And coming 2nd in a very specific category in a North of Ireland Bands' Association competition is objectively not success in "a major music award"... I have reviewed possible WP:ATDs. But draftifying this ancient article serves no purpose and I can't recommend redirection anywhere (like to Carrickfergus - as there is no related section and creating one would give UNDUE weight/preference to a single otherwise non-notable local community group). I, frankly, can't fathom why this article was created in the first place. Its original incarnation reads entirely like WP:NOTWEBHOST content....

    Helo Wcquiddich,
    I have re-purposed the interviews with founders (so that they do not fail WP:ORGIND). Have removed the reprints of office moving announcements and the coverage of their own awards (since it is not notable enough, understandably). Have also removed references that are not independent (e.g. the company's website) except where relevant (e.g. how their service works).
    As for the trivial coverage, I have moved the CNN reference elsewhere (which is more relevant), and have got rid of the startup rankings.
    Aside these issues requiring a quick-fix, I still believe that this subject is eligible for a Wikipedia page due to its substantial coverage on the internet. A quick google search will prove my point.

    I think that most of the sources are reliable - Just because the sources are in greek doesn't undermine their reliability.
    This company has been around for a decade. It has been used as an example by established greek news, won first place in North America's largest hospitality convention, and has even had a case study in a book published by the Entrepreneur (a fairly established and notable publisher). Its clients are also some of the biggest hotel chains in the world.
    Although some of the sources were questionable, I am in the process of removing them. - That aside, I genuinely do not see a reason for an outright deletion of this article. Mattheozard123 ( talk) 00:25, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

    Draftspace is a namespace where articles are held in the short term while they are being improved so that they can be moved to mainspace. Articles are not moved to draftspace in lieu of deletion on the off-chance that they may one day become notable. Sometimes the lack of notability is an edge case such as a brand new product or event that is days old for example, where reliable sources haven't quite had time to manifest, or where notability is almost-but-not-quite there. This does not appear to be a situation where the article would benefit from draftification. - Aoidh ( talk) 14:52, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - as far as I can tell, all extant sourcing is either primary or glorified press releases. ― novov (t c) 07:40, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Draftify - Firstly from the completely pragmatic perspective that the page creator clearly intends to re-create the page in draft if it is deleted. That is not a draftify reason though. However I think there is a case for draftification. I'll start with the reasons this is not a keep for me. The article has 17 sources but many are general and not about the subject. Looking at those about the subject, the three up front in the first paragraph of the lead are all just the product announcement. There is one source that has good information about the OS that is later (Marek, 2024), but this is from the Eclipse Foundation and not independent. The primary sourcing has also been noted above. So there is no sourcing here that demonstrates notability.
So it probably should be deleted, but I am a touch wary. The Eclipse Foundation is notable. This is a major project of the foundation, and although it is niche, I am not certain that no secondary sources exist. It is written about in secondary sources, e.g. [4] but that source, for instance, could be attacked for not being independent. There is mention of the Oniro working group in this book [5] but the mention is passing. It is also mentioned in this book [6]. None of this adds up to notability, but it could be WP:TOOSOON or it could even be that it is notable but unproven. The page creator is a new editor who created the article in good faith and wishes to continue working on it. As they become more experienced with our notability guidelines, they will come to understand what is required to demonstrate notability, and they are well placed and willing to work on this in draft. There is ceratinly the possibility that they will be able to demonstrate notability in the future. Furthermore, allowing the page to exist in draft and encouraging the editor to continue working on it there could encourage the development of a potentially very good editor. WP:TOOSOON allows that draftification may be the most appropriate and I do not see a downside to that. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 08:44, 12 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - I don't think this is the same as a garage sale. A house clearance is "clearing items and household waste from a property, including sheds and garages." (I would probably just call this "house cleaning" or "house cleanup" in America.) I don't see any reasonable redirect target, so I recommend deletion. The research of Annebelle Pollen e.g. [1] looks like good sourcing, but it's not enough to write an article around. I couldn't see other sourcing that would make me want to keep this.

    Hm, fair enough. I'll strike my redirect suggestion. -- asilvering ( talk) 03:40, 23 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Merge (like a paragraph) to Terrorist incidents in Pakistan in 2023. It doesn't seem an especially significant one of Pakistan's many, many attacks, but given Pakistan's broader security problems it's best to retain that it happened and this article has a few details that would be useful for a brief summary.

PROD removed. Random name that fails WP:NNAME and WP:NOTDICT. No sources found outside of dictionary definitions, databases and baby name websites. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 03:48, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Delete, on the grounds that while Агафодо́р might be notable in Russian, Agafodor isn't in English. Hence, Agafodor isn't warranted here. I also note that there are no notable people on Wikipedia with the first name Agafodor. Klbrain ( talk) 18:27, 7 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Yes, dictionaries. If an article can be sourced only to dictionaries then I’m pretty sure it’s not likely to be notable. Even if the bishop is notable, we’d need at least two articles to meet WP:NNAME. I’ll look into the other people further when I have access to my computer.

  • Delete. Doesn’t satisfy notability requirements due to not being notable. Mr Mangina ( talk) 03:20, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Hello, Mr Mangina, you just registered your account today. How did you come to find this AFD discussion on your third edit? Deletion discussions are typically not the first thing new editors participate in. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 23:03, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Even if I do think it should be deleted, I have to agree that this is strange. The argument is essentially "it's not notable because it's not notable". Maybe they saw the AfD and decided to make an account to comment on it? AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 03:40, 20 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Per nom. Fails relevant notability criteria. Certain individual with this name might be notable, but that doesn't make the name itself notable. Yilloslime ( talk) 19:41, 20 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Exactly. If the bishop is even created then I suppose we could redirect it there. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 02:09, 21 March 2024 (UTC) reply

The result was soft delete‎. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Liz Read! Talk! 23:38, 25 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I can't find any reliable secondary sources, both within and outside of the article, that would establish notability. Most of the secondary sources I could find are by people with unknown credentials. HyperAccelerated ( talk) 01:18, 5 March 2024 (UTC) reply

  • I oppose deleting this as it's clearly a very active project (note the forum) with some history. I know people that use it. Okay it's no notepad++ popularity wise. I also see no gain from CudaText's side as it's open source and my adblocker kicked in only for the github link (to those that don't know GitHub is a VERY popular code hosting site and this is very normal).

  • Delete: The "incomplete" comment in the 2017 PROD may have been a bit unfair, in that it is not uncommon for text editing software to be released then improved, but while there are occasional mentions of gsoft text editor in Linux forums etc., I am not seeing coverage to demonstrate attained notability, nor an appropriate target.
