Lenny Castro ( talk| | history| logs| links| watch) ( XfD| restore)

Sources have come to light that supports his inclusion in Wikipedia based on No. 1, 6, 8, 10 of WP:BAND. I have listed around sixteen or so sources on Lenny Castro's talk page, and I can search for more sources if necessary. (Ironically, his inclusion on so many albums makes it hard to search for significant coverage versus just personnel listings, but I've at least collected more sources than the original, deleted page had, judging by the state of Lenny Castro articles on other-language Wikipedias). Unfortunately, this page was SALTED after many people kept recreating it, but I believe that just means that there's at least some sort of audience interested in this musician. He easily meets the bare minimum for WP:GNG. At the very least, his inclusion on several hundreds of albums means that he should not redirect to Toto. Just searching his name on Wikipedia features several hundreds of articles mentioning him. Why? I Ask ( talk) 02:44, 28 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Hypothetical sources? You haven’t listed them. Write a draft stub and include WP:THREE notability demonstrating sources.

SALTED? Have you asked anyone to de-SALT. The protecting admin, or at WP:RfPP? DRV is a review forum, not a desalt forum. It is well used to review an unreasonable refusal to de-salt. A good proposal to de-SALT also will benefit from a draft stub with WP:THREE good sources.

  @ 81.100.164.154: you don't know my real life schedules. I am a college student that has experienced some mental stress and breakdown lately, yet I was still able to make this tabular list of deleted files due to no FOP (now mostly via FFD, I will add deleted files via PUF around next month). But I may need to do my usual real life (off-wiki) errands which will slow down my expansion of that tabular list. Be more cautious in your comments, you may not know the real life errands and also off-wiki stress of users like me that conflict with my contribution to that userspace tabular list of mine, which I created in my belief that someday in the future some of no-FOP countries will introduce commercial FOP, and to ease the burden of other users of tediously searching the FFD/PUF deletion requests.

  Exactly you have no idea about all the other users here, what priorities, stresses and otherwise they may have, so it's not clear why you'd be adverse to taking a different approach when queried, which in the end may be less burden all around. You didn't answer how it would be more onerous to group and ask the original deleting admins (who may either may say "no" for some reason (in which case DRV is still an option), or I suspect in many cases, if explained you intend to tag the undeletions correctly, will just do it) would be such a huge burden on you compared to listing them one by one on DRV. -- 81.100.164.154 ( talk) 18:38, 26 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Out of process early closure after only 2 days. Would probably have been closed as keep regardless due to the sheer amount of votes, but the sourcing was still being discussed after the last relist, and the closer's recent record doesn't inspire confidence that his snow keep was the best decision.

I'd have brought the relist here or an appropriate forum, except that seemed POINTy, and the situation would resolve itself within a week.

Additionally, controversial closes, such as ones where the closer must actually weigh !votes rather than count them, should absolutely not be performed by non-administrators.

  • Over 2 dozen references were added to the article, User:JoelleJay, after JBL first asked that; even JBL admits that one of them is good, meeting the minimum requirements of WP:SPORTCRIT (there's been no indication he's assessed all of them).

    • That's like a 300-word article published in The Advertiser (Adelaide) about a signing. It's even categorized by Gale as a "brief article". Not in-depth and thus not WP:SIGCOV. I've never understood how editors will point to something that short, that local, and that routine, and call it a GNG source. But, thank you for being the first person to point to a specific second source. Still, I think if that's the second-best source (and it is), then this subject doesn't meet GNG.
      Oh, and of the 346 words of that article, only 156 words are actually about Campbell, because half that article is about someone else. [4] Here is literally everything that article says about Campbell:

      City Force has made its first signing for the new season - 21-year-old New Zealand international Jeff Campbell. The highly-regarded midfielder from the Kingz soon should be followed with two more signings which coach Zoran Matic is confident will again make the Force a top-six finalist. "When we played the Kingz last season he (Campbell) gave us more problems than anyone else," Matic said. "We targeted him from the start and it's pleasing to know he's now an Adelaide City player. He will give us more steel in the midfield." Campbell has made 10 appearances with NZ but missed the World Cup qualifiers against Australia through injury. He also has represented NZ at under-20 and under-23 level. Campbell last season played in a wide position but preferred central midfield. "This is a good move for me because I feel playing in Australia will help my development," Campbell said. He is expected to arrive in Adelaide next month.

      The thing is, a closer should look at that, and say "this is not SIGCOV, no matter how many editors say it is, because WP:NOTAVOTE". And then the closer should say, "There are not two GNG sources here, no matter how many editors say there are, because WP:NOTAVOTE." Then the closer should close this as delete (or draftify, which is what I'd have !voted if I had voted).
      I remember this from the days when I regularly participated in FOOTY AFDs. People would put forward a paragraph and claim it's SIGCOV and meets GNG. I guess that hasn't changed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Levivich 16:39, 25 April 2022 (UTC) reply

      And only 93 words are independent -- the quotes from the coach must be ignored since he is not independent of Campbell. Routine signing cruft. JoelleJay ( talk) 20:56, 25 April 2022 (UTC) reply

      The thing is, a closer should look at that, and say "this is not SIGCOV, no matter how many editors say it is, because WP:NOTAVOTE". And then the closer should say, "There are not two GNG sources here, no matter how many editors say there are, because WP:NOTAVOTE." Then the closer should close this as delete...

    Dumping a bunch of trivial mentions/prosifying stats is the definition of WP:NOAMOUNT and WP:REFBOMB.

    SPORTCRIT presumes notability only if there are multiple SIGCOV sources. The single SIGCOV source requirement is for preventing automatic deletion of articles that are not under AfD discussion, it does not obviate the ultimate requirement of meeting GNG.

• Endorse It's not clear that the first relist was necessary or proper. Per WP:RELIST "A relisted discussion may be closed once consensus is determined without necessarily waiting a further seven days." Thus, since consensus was clear before the relist, no further input was necessary for any editor to close the AfD. However, two additional keeps were logged in the two days of relisting, so it was abundantly clear that the outcome was not trending towards no consensus, let alone deletion. NAC was specifically proper for this reason. Avilich's arguing to reopen a decision based on non-existent policy, when he acknowledges that the appeal here is moot, is most consistent with WP:BURO WP:BATTLE behavior and this outcome should be internalized and not be repeated. Jclemens ( talk) 04:39, 26 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I said it would probably be closed as keep due to the vote count (as it was), not that it should. But there was no consensus that the sourcing was enough for GNG. Avilich ( talk) 13:44, 26 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Admins don't have the authority to overturn numerical preponderance because that outcome is not compliant with a guideline, which notability is. Read WP:ROUGHCONSENSUS and WP:NHC: each references policy, not guidelines, and the former enumerates core policies and does not include notability anywhere in there. I don't know where people get the idea closers can discount !votes based on guidelines, since there's simply no policy allowing it: the ability to override by local consensus is what differentiates policy and guideline. Jclemens ( talk) 05:33, 27 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I think you overlooked the second last paragraph of WP:ROUGHCONSENSUS: Per "ignore all rules", a local consensus can suspend a guideline in a particular case where suspension is in the encyclopedia's best interests, but this should be no less exceptional in deletion than in any other area. BilledMammal ( talk) 05:36, 27 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Yes, absolutely. Most admins will ignore rationale-free WP:ITSNOTABLE and WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE !votes, and by rationale-free I include things like "Has enough sources" or "not enough sources". However, it's far more difficult to determine when you have disagreement about how good those sources are, as then it's not a binary notable/non-notable issue. Black Kite (talk) 07:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Overturn and relist - This one requires a thorough assessment of the arguments and whether or not the sourcing actually meets the requirements, not just a vote count, and is a poor candidate for NAC.

  • The closer should be cautioned about eager-beaver non-admin closes of AFDs.

The no consensus close is based on the premise that "policy is uncertain" on the notability of footballers and any deletion nominations should be postponed until discussion is completed at WP:NFOOTYNEW. While I agree that we should be cautious about deleting articles that could be notable under new guidelines, the presumption of notability has been removed from all NSPORTS SNGs and NFOOTYNEW, if adopted, would only tell us whether the required significant coverage is likely to exist.

The no consensus close is based on the premise that consensus cannot be reached until discussion at WP:NFOOTYNEW is complete. While I agree that we should be cautious about deleting articles that could be notable under new guidelines, the presumption of notability has been removed from all NSPORTS SNGs and NFOOTYNEW, if adopted, would only tell us whether the required significant coverage is likely to exist.

In general you don't need to get permission before recreating a deleted page, regardless of the reason for deletion. If your version also qualifies for deletion for some reason then it can be deleted, but that would be true if you weren't recreating a deleted page. These pages were deleted because the author is banned, which doesn't stop any editor who isn't banned from writing an article about the subject and doesn't mean the topic is unsuitable for Wikipedia.

The reasons provided for the deletion of the article do not apply in the slightest. The reasons given were G3 and G10, and the reasons they are invalid are given below.

- It is not vandalism, a hoax, or misinformation

- It does not disparage, threaten, intimidate, or harass Jack Manifold, his supporters, or those close to him

- It does not attack any of the aforementioned groups

- The article is not unsourced, as claimed in the deletion, as the oldest source of the image online was provided

- The image that the article centered around was not meant to mock the man in question, as the image was both taken and posted by someone that personally knows him, with the posting having his go-ahead

Tealyt - I agree on reflection that G10 doesn't apply, as I've pretty much said on my talk page.

WP:V requires that article subjects must have third-party reliable sources, and per WP:DGFA AfD closes have to be consistent with the verifiability policy regardless of the opinions of the participants.

• Overturn and delete. The nomination perhaps doesn't lay out the argument the best, and the delete voter likewise, but the keeps are an SPA apparently setup to attack the nominator and the other is rebutted. Their follow on point that the subject may not be related to the problems is a non-argument as it doesn't address sourcing or notability issues at all, and I'm not aware of any criteria which specifies not being involved in fakes leads to inclusion, so how the closer concluded they had some reasonable point seems weird. -- 81.100.164.154 ( talk) 18:30, 20 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Comment I closed this discussion at AfD, so I'm entering no declaration. Upon re-reading it, I agree with the above arguments that the "keep" !votes carry little weight, and I did not examine their evidence closely enough. However, I would point out that of the two !votes to delete, only one (the nominator) engaged with the substance directly; that simply isn't enough for a consensus for deletion, and I stand by the "no consensus" assessment overall. Today, I would likely close as no consensus with no prejudice against speedy renomination. Vanamonde ( Talk) 15:46, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Endorse and relist as a new AfD. The closing admin was within their discretion to close the discussion as "no consensus". Both the "keep" and "delete" arguments did not discuss the sources enough. The "keep" participant Dr.KBAHT began their comment with these two sentences: "The discussion should be focused on the subject, not the users. I see good sources. For example, the 1st one is perfectly valid." The first source in the article was:
  • "El Comité 1973 - Detalle de Instituciones - Enciclopedia de la Literatura en México - FLM - CONACULTA". www.elem.mx. Retrieved 2019-08-15.

    This is an encyclopedia entry about El Comité 1973. The entry provides three paragraphs of coverage about the magazine. From Google Translate:

    The magazine El Comité 1973 is a Mexican, digital and bimonthly magazine produced since July 30, 2012 by the literary group "El Comité", dedicated to dissemination, criticism and literary creation. Its mission is to spread literary texts and visual works of different creators in order to increase the culture of people around the world. As for the year that is part of the name, 1973, it alludes to the date of the death of the poet Pablo Neruda, which, in some way, tries to be a tribute to this Nobel Prize winner, whom Gabriel García Márquez called: "the greatest 20th century poet in any language”."

    According to a translation of es:Enciclopedia de la Literatura en México, "The Encyclopedia of Literature in Mexico (ELEM) is an encyclopedia on Mexican literature edited by the Fundación de las Letras Mexicanas, supported by the Ministry of Culture and the National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature of Mexico."
  I did not see this source addressed by the discussion's "delete" participants, so I am basing my endorsement of the "no consensus" close on this point. The rest of Dr.KBAHT's argument for retention was weak as it was based on sources "probably rephrased using AI".

  I am giving no weight to the "keep" argument from AYSO60, who did not provide any policy-based arguments for retention. The arguments from Born2bgratis and Whiteguru were policy-based but they did not address the first source cited by Dr.KBAHT when Dr.KBAHT wrote, "For example, the 1st one is perfectly valid".

  There was another source in the article that is potentially reliable but that I cannot find online:

  • Guzmán Pérez, Mario (October 3, 2017). ""Buena literatura independiente difunde El Comité 1973"". El Sol de Hidalgo (México). p. Sección Cultura.

    This article was published by es:El Sol de Hidalgo. From Google Translate: "El Sol de Hidalgo is a local newspaper from the city of Pachuca de Soto, in Mexico. It is one of the newspapers with the highest circulation and sales in the city and in the state, one reason is that its cost is low compared to other newspapers. It is owned and a member of the Mexican Editorial Organization, the largest journalistic company in Mexico."

  I support a relist to allow for in-depth discussion of the sources since the AfD under review did not do this. I support relisting as a new AfD since the AfD under review was closed in July 2021.

The article was deleted in 2015 because it was apparently a housing estate without official recognition as a hamlet, village, or town however it is an OS settlement [5] and is even an ONS BUA with its own population data. I'm not sure if being an ONS BUA makes it a legally recognized place per WP:GEOLAND but IMO is is probably at least strong evidence it is. It was later created as a redirect to Redruth its parish but should probably be a separate article. I suggest at least the edit history should be restored.

  It may pass GEOLAND if being a census settlement makes it "legally recognized".

• Restore the article's history under the redirect. Even though the article history contains trivial content as described by Sandstein, the DRV request was reasonable since non-admins like the DRV nominator do not have access to the deleted history so are unable to see what it contained. I support restoring the article history so that it is available to non-admins.

  When there is an alternative to deletion, I always support keeping the article's history accessible to non-admins if there are no BLP violations or copyright violations or anything else that should be publicly inaccessible in the history. The article may contain useful content for a merge or useful sources. The article may have unreliable sources that cannot be cited. But the unreliable sources may have information that helps editors find reliable sources that can be used. Without having to ask an admin to restore to draft, a non-admin who is interested in recreating the article with better sourcing and content can immediately view the prior state of the article to see if anything can be reused.

  North Country, Cornwall currently is a redirect to Redruth, which does not mention North County, Cornwall. This would result in deletion at Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion if not addressed. I still support restoration as this concern is surmountable. If it would be undue weight to mention North County, Cornwall, in Redruth, another option is to retarget the redirect to List of United Kingdom locations: Ni-North G, where it is already mentioned.

Given the deletion log specifically directs to REFUND (it even includes a link), and the deletion discussion doesn't result in a deletion, I'm really doesn't seem likely it would have been directed here. The point in using REFUND and/or talking to the closer/deleting admin is that it tends be a quicker resolution in simpler cases (which this appears to be), rather than going to a multi-day discussion here, though I guess since this is april fools from a year ago, time isn't really of the essence. The instructions say notify the closer, because that's whose decision is usually being discussed, in this case it was someone else who did the actual deletion so it's their decision, the pre-instructions also suggest discussion where the closer, who I'm sure would have directed you to the right person if that had happen.

This article was about the only convent school and one of the first schools in the whole town called Noida and have been deleted (I think in prejudice) without properly looking into the article, especially its notability. There were many links outside of the schools own website used as reference. Its possible that many of the links would have become dead or archived, but it should not result in the deletion of the article as per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. ~~ ScitDei ^{Wanna talk?} 06:41, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• (Non-administrator comment)Comment: Suggesting that the article may have been deleted in prejudice implies that the deleting administrator was acting in consideration of his own personal interests instead of the interests of Wikipedia. Is that the argument you really want to make here? Have you already tried to discuss your concerns over the article's deletion with the deleting administrator? Although such a thing isn't required, it's generally considered courteous to do so, often leads to clarification and even a quicker resolution in some cases. Anyway, you're correct that Wikipedia notability is not temporary, but it's also just as correct that Wikipedia notability requires verifiable evidence. Are you suggesting that new sources can be found to establish the Wikipedia notability of the school, or that the sources cited in the article at the time of deletion were already sufficient for that purpose. In the case of the former, perhaps you can clarify what these sources might be for the consideration of the deleting administrator and anyone else participating in this discussion. If, however, you're arguing the latter, then those sources were assessed by those participating in the AFD for the school and the consensus reached was that they weren't sufficient. Based on what was discussed in the AFD, the close doesn't appear to have been improper in any way, and a different administrator most likely would've closed the discussion in exactly the same way. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:34, 12 April 2022 (UTC); [Note: Post edited by Marchjuly to strikeout sentence about article being deleted in prejudice since the OP has clarified what they meant in a subsequent post. -- 21:28, 12 April 2022 (UTC)] reply

• I don't think it necessarily implies the deleting administrator was biased as the project struggles with topics from certain geographical regions, including the topic of schools (though you are correct that it does assume bad faith on someone's part.) However the discussion with the closing admin would have been helpful here - it was a pretty easy close for someone since it was unanimous, but also a light discussion and on a topic where outcomes can sometimes be a struggle. I can't see the article but if there are salvageable sources, I'd be fine restoring to draft, and if not I'd be fine with a re-creation, assuming there are sources available. SportingFlyer T· C 08:04, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• I didn't imply that the deleting administrator had something personal against the article. Sorry if it comes out like this. I was just trying to say that a little more deliberation could have been done especially regarding notability. Also that the sources cited in the article at the time of deletion were already sufficient for notability in my opinion. Moreover more references would come out subsequently in time, perhaps from notable sources also.

• Those in the discussion saw the sources and concluded differently, why should DRV substitute your opinion that they were already sufficient? Likewise how long does a discussion need to last before you determine enough deliberation has been had, we can't leave discussions open forever. On the point of future sources appearing, that's not a reasonable way of doing it, on that basis we should create articles on just about everything on the basis that in the future there might be sources. Do you have additional sources (of suitable quality i.e. independant, non-trivial etc.) that weren't available at the time of the discussion? -- 81.100.164.154 ( talk) 11:15, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Those in discussion did conclude differently, I agree, but to be frank, I feel the Notability criteria can be a little subjective. I mean, since its almost impossible to clearly and objectively define notability criteria for each type of article topic, its the reviewer's own subjective interpretation of the Notability guidelines which finally defines the outcome. So I think a little more time could have been given to the deliberation so that all editors of the article would have a chance to give their opinions & options (clearly one week is not enough I guess). On the point of future sources appearing, WP:NTEMP suggests that an article maybe recreated whenever new evidence supports its existence as a standalone article. Since most of the references about this article would be in Hindi sources (there were already a few third party reliable Hindi news sources as references in the article), and searching in Hindi is not as easy as searching in English, I am hopeful of many new sources coming up in future. If it still does not merit a standalone article, WP:GNG suggest that it can be a sub section of another article. But for that we need the content of the article and instead of AfD, the article should have been requested for merge or something similar. In general, I would also say that, any article that is being deleted should have some way of retrieval of contents, atleast to the article creator, so that it can be improved. So I request Allow Recreation of Draft atleast~~ ScitDei ^{Wanna talk?} 07:26, 13 April 2022 (UTC) reply

How much time would you have considered it appropriate for the discussion to run? You were notified of the AFD on your user talk page on October 27, 2021, but you never commeneted in the AFD at all. Delsort notifications were added for three WikiProjects and it still only received a couple of !votes. The discussion was closed a week later which seems short, but there was no indication of any more time being needed. Even if the close had been relisted another week for further discussion, it doesn't appear that the outcome would've changed. Should the close had been postponed until you commented in it or until a certain number of users commented in it? According to your contribution's history, you didn't make any edits between September 2, 2021 and March 9, 2022. After you resumed editing on March 9, you didn't edit again until a month later on April 12 when you opened this DR. That's fine because we all get busy or we all decide to spend our time in other ways, but I don't we can expect Wikipedia to wait to do what it feels it needs to do until the timing is better for us. In addition, Wikipedia isn't going to wait on deleting an article just on the hope that more sources might possibly show up in the future; they either exist now or they don't, and if they don't then it's most likely WP:TOOSOON for a stand-alone article created. Furthermore, since nobody requested that the article be merge or something similiar, there was no reason for the closing administrator to consider such a thing. If, however, you feel that content about the school can probably be added to another article, then you're free to do so. You don't need the article to be recreated as a draft to do that; just find reliable sources that discuss the school and incorporate content that reflects those sources into the other article. Then, if the school does start receiving more singificant coverage in reliable sources (like you hope will happen) to justify a stand-alone article, the content about the school could probably be split of into its own article. There are five reasons listed in WP:CLOSE#Challenging a deletion for which a close might be challenged. The only one of the five that might possibly be applicable in this case is (in my opinion) #3. So, if you're able to provide significant information which wasn't considered at the AfD, then please do so. However, you can't just say that such information might maybe someday exist, you have actually show that it already exists. Even if this new information is in Hindi, you can still point it out so that it can be considered. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 08:57, 13 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• As the only opinions were to delete and no one had commented in a few days, I don't see what deliberation was going on that extending time would have changed anything. As you note such decisions are never "forever" views, so holding on just in case someone comes up with some decisive alternate view point, wouldn't really achieve much. To one degree or another notability is subjective, and that sometimes helps with a bit of flexibility in the greyer areas, if we did somehow decided on a set of comprehensive, bright line, un-gameable set of criteria, someone would always be unhappy that the line is where it's drawn and not an inch different one way or the other. The point about future finding of course is purely that keeping everything in the vague hope that sources may be found in future is not a sensible way to proceed from my point of view. I have no real opinion on if draft of this is sensible or not, though I personally wouldn't bother unless I was actively seeking out sourcing etc. S-- 81.100.164.154 ( talk) 12:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Jorge Vargas González ( talk| | history| logs| links| watch) ( XfD| restore)

Passes WP:POLITICIAN. Vargas has held the position of Regional Councilor (equal to a state parliament) in O'Higgins Region since 2018 (before the article was actually deleted), having been elected in 2017 and 2021 to such position. Meeting the first criteria, this person is notable enough for inclusion. Personally I believe the criminal cases against him also were noteworthy, but this person easily passes NPOLITICIAN for being a regional councilor, not for being the mayor of Pichilemu. Bedivere ( talk) 22:48, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• There's nothing obviously wrong with the afd, and being a regional politician with under 20000 constituents - which the deleted article said during the afd, so it can't claimed it's new information - doesn't by itself show any more notability than being a mayor of about 14000. An afd's enough to rebut the presumption of notability a SNG like WP:POLITICIAN provides, so unless you can point to better, WP:GNG-meeting sources, endorse. — Cryptic 23:10, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  To be honest I came across this deleted article as I am interested in the geographical area. I am not particularly familiar with this person but he was elected as a member of the O'Higgins Region Council (or board, however you call it) which governs the whole O'Higgins Region along the governor, recently elected, Mr. Pablo Silva Amaya. Although it may be true Vargas was not elected with many votes ( 5788 to be exact, in 2021), his constituency (one of four that make up the regional board) has only 42.676 inhabitants according to the 2017 census. And 22997 voted. I think the deletion of this article only happened because of systemic bias. Vargas is a Chilean, is not an English speaker and probably will not interest many English speakers as a result. In contrast, for example, an article about Angelia Williams Graves, member for the 90th district in the Virginia House of Delegates, elected with only 3.691 votes, actually exists and nobody has questioned its existence (I am not questioning it anyway; yet that article only contains some news reports about her announcements of candidacies, while Vargas' article had plenty of material regarding his criminal cases and they were included in a National Biography Dictionary, authored by Emilio Philippi).

• Comment NPOL's presumed notability for subnational politicians applies to state/provincial legislators in federal systems (Switzerland, Canada, Nigeria etc) or those from parliaments of autonomous territories (eg Faroe Islands). Notwithstanding current constitutional discussions, Chile at present is not a federal state (or even quasi-federal like South Africa), the regional councils are not legislatures. FWIW, AfD discussions have not accorded presumed notability to members of the French regional councils (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bruno Subtil and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Binder), which perform similar roles. Regards, -- Goldsztajn ( talk) 12:30, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  At least since last year, Chile has a semi-federal system with the popular election of regional governors. Regional governments exist since 1993. Bedivere ( talk) 15:19, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  An elected body/position is not synonymous with legislative/executive power. Many states have engaged in processes of regionalisation and decentralisation, however, this does not mean they have devolved legislative/executive power to lower levels (as opposed to devolving administrative power). See discussions here around devolution and presumed notability in relation to NPOL. Happy to discuss Chile, certainly quite likely to evolve with a far more autonomous regional structure given the current constitutional convention. In South America, Brazil and Argentina are the two clear examples with presumed notability for subnational legislators, there's also Bolivia but personally I'd question whether actually it has the same status. Chile in its present constitutional structure, and certainly what applies to the case of González, is far from any of those three. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 00:38, 13 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  I appreciate your input, Goldsztajn. Certainly, the new Constitutional draft (if approved) will provide more autonomy to regions (they are actually dubbed Autonomous Regions). Certainly, too, Regional Boards currently do not have legislative powers as they do in the US, for example. However, I think Chilean regional councilors should be presumed notable because they are part of the regional government; the regional boards are relatively small (O'Higgins has about 20 members since last March; previously only 16) and they mostly represent densely populated areas. I know Cardenal Caro province, represented by Mr. Vargas, is not the most populated area in the world but they are still the member of the regional government of a densely populated region. Additionally, as I said before, in this particular case, the controversies they've been into, and the criminal cases against him, which received national coverage (including El Mercurio, considered Chile's newspaper of record) certainly makes this person noteworthy.

A little dab page that I thought I had created, but now I've found out, much to my surprise, that it got deleted per WP:G7 a month ago. I was told by the deleting admin that I had not in fact created it and that it was not an appropriate dab page. If my recollection was wrong all along, then I'm really sorry to everyone for all this silliness. However, at least from the explanation I was given for why the dab page wasn't needed I can infer that it had two appropriate entries and so should be viable. – Uanfala (talk) 23:52, 8 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Comment I was the deleting admin. Here was my response to on my talk page to Uanfala: You were not the page creator, User:Zxcvbnm was and they asked for the page to be deleted. The rationale was "Nothing left to disambiguate now that the D&D monster article was soft deleted". It looks like Spider eater (Dungeons & Dragons) was the only article on this disambiguation page and it has been turned into a redirect. The other listing was simply "an organism that feeds on spiders" and was linked to Arachnophagy so I don't think the page really fulfilled the purpose of a disambiguation page once the D&D page was gone as an actual article. I hope this answers your question.

It looks like what happened is that Zxcvbnm created a redirect after moving a page. Then Uanfala changed that redirect to a disambiguation page. But when Zxcvbnm tagged the page for G7 deletion and I looked at it, they were the page creator and I honored their request to delete the page. I should have looked at the page history more closely. I have no objections if folks here decide to restore the page but it barely functioned as a disambiguation page. I'm no expert on MOS, and WP:MOSDAB in particular, but a disambiguation page containing two redirects, one to an article unrelated to "spider eaters" doesn't seem to function appropriately as a disambiguation page.

  Pages substantially edited by users other than the creator are never valid G7s either. Here, Uanfala not only substantially edited the dab that was deleted out-of-process, but was its only substantial editor.
  Disambiguation pages not ending in "(disambiguation)" are not G14s unless they disambiguate zero pages (not articles, not non-redirects, pages). This disambiguated two.

This is not some strange bureaucratic twist in the text of the policy. It should be obvious why any criterion titled "author requests deletion" would not apply here.

@ Zxcvbnm: I don't think it's an obscure rule and really Liz should understand better as someone who often deals with csd (in my experience), however I agree that this is becoming something bigger than it needs to be and I am disappointed with the tone this review is taking. Explicit may have genuine concerns and perhaps some frustration is understandable if there seems to be a recurring pattern, though I think it could have been conveyed more amicably (and I don't think he called for Liz to be "removed").

• It's important that deletion review should be a welcoming place where both complainants and closers feel respected. If we're hostile to closers and make them feel defensive, then we won't get openness and reflection from them. At DRV we are explicitly a drama-free zone, and I think that in practice this means it's our role to talk about decisions, not decision makers.— S Marshall  T/ C 12:21, 14 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Good day!As the author of the article, I think that its removal was wrong, since those who participated in the removal discussion misinterpreted the consensus. During the discussion, two more participants, except for me, found that this article was in the interests of the encyclopedia. The references to authoritative sources that were presented in the discussion were not taken into account. But the erroneous belief some participants have that I am a ‘paid editor’ was formed because my edits come from the good intentions related to my sincere desire to improve the article. I am asking the community to participate in the discussion on whether it was correct to remove the article. Deviloper ( talk) 09:29, 7 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Star Mississippi, the closing admin, concluded: "So in evaluating each of those in the second section, I landed on a stronger weight for those in favor of delete because they went into a depth on why the sourcing was not acceptable that generally was not matched or countered by those in favor of keeping the article."

I thank Star Mississippi for their very detailed rationale. Closers almost never go into this level of detail to explain their closes, so I really appreciate their taking the time to do so. I agree with the closer's conclusion that some of the comments should be discarded or given less weight since they are not policy-based or do not discuss the sources. However, I think several the "keep" participants (specifically, GoldMiner24, Heartmusic678, and M4DU7) and Jumpytoo (who said "the article is also in a poor state so I'm not inclined to cast a hard vote") made a sufficiently strong case that the company had sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) and Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline that the discussion should have been closed as "no consensus" instead of "delete". Although most of the "delete" participants went into substantial detail, some of the "keep" participants went into detail too.

Two sources that these editors presented at the AfD were:

1. An entry about Meesho in the 2021 edition of the St. James Press-published International Directory of Company Histories ( link) amounting to three pages of coverage (pages 295–297). Harvard Business School says that the book provides "Comprehensive histories of 8,500 of the world's largest and most influential companies".

   The closing admin said, "The book could be good, but no one was able to access it to verify that it was in enough depth." I do not have access to Meesho's entry in the 2021 edition of the directory, but I do have access to the 2014 edition of the directory which is available through Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library. This extensive profile about "Gilt Groupe, Inc." ^{Internet Archive} is an example of the depth of coverage the directory goes into. Each entry I've seen in the International Directory of Company Histories goes into substantial depth about the company, so I think three pages of coverage about Meebo should have been enough to contribute to notability.

2. Sharma, Nishant. "Meesho Is Turning Housewives Into WhatsApp Entrepreneurs". BloombergQuint. Retrieved 2022-03-08.

   Jumpytoo wrote, "There is 5 paragraphs of independent & in-depth coverage of the app by expressing concerns about how the app is vulnerable to competition though aggressive expansion into underserved regions and that the quality of the products of poor impacting sellers earnings, which is supported by information from Priyanka who is a Meesho seller and two expert analysts: Ankur Pahwa from Ernst & Young, Satish Meena from Forrester Research."

• Endorse A tough AfD but I think the close was reasonable as it was well-argued that NORG did not appear to be met. In terms of additional sourcing, I have doubts about whether the International Directory of Company Histories is truly independent based on a quick visit to their website - they receive information directly from companies per their website.

Improper reasoning to judge there to be no free equivalent of this photograph that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose.

• Endorse: the file in question appears to have been used in Columbus Developmental Center#History per this and I'm not seeing how any of the concerns raised in the FFD about it were incorrect. If the building's decay made it appear vastly different at some point, then adding sourced critical commentary about those changes to the article might've helped justify a case for the file's non-free use; however, there doesn't appear to be anything close to that in the article that require the reader see such an image when the FFD was closed. Moreover, there's FOP for buildings in the US and the building is still standing (at least as of October 2021) according to File:Columbus Developmental Center 01.jpg (also uploaded by the nominator); so, a comparison to how the building at the time of main infobox photo and present day seems more than possible and additional free images could be taken for further comparison purposes.

Whether it's replaceable or not depends on whether the free image can serve the same purpose in the article. For example the OP pointed to the fact the central tower's roof was removed in the non-free image. If the article had some sourced coverage about the removal of the tower's roof then you could reasonably argue that this makes the non-free version isn't replaceable, but there wasn't. Same goes for all the other points the OP raised. The image was just being used in the article to illustrate what the building looked like, and the free version serves the same purpose.

I don't understand, @ Fastily: @ Marchjuly: @ Stifle: @ SportingFlyer: @ Hut 8.5: @ Jo-Jo Eumerus: how not a single one of you can understand how these are dramatically different photographs? It's like comparing an image of the Roman Forum in 1 AD versus 2020 AD. The building in the deleted photo is a ruin of its once grand structure. It shows how deterioration and deferred maintenance led it to become a good candidate for demolition. I laid out all the specifics in the FfD. These photographs barely even show the same building, nonetheless an equal free version. NFCC 1 says that equivalents need to "serve the same encyclopedic purpose." In no way does a ruin of a building serve the same purpose to the reader as a photograph of a building at its height. ɱ (talk) 22:19, 8 April 2022 (UTC) reply

(Non-administrator comment) That's why in cases like this sourced critical commentary of the actual image itself is generally needed to help establish and strengthen the context you're referring to above. You look at the image and see one thing, whereas someone else looking at the image may see something else. In order to avoid the non-free use appearing to be more WP:DECORATIVE than not and also to avoid any sort of image-like WP:OR or WP:SYN, non-free content use tends to require a stronger connection connection between image and text per WP:NFC#CS, and I don't think that connection has been established here. A non-free use needs to satisfy all ten non-free content criteria, and I don't see how this use meets NFCC#1 and NFCC#8. To be fair, I'm not an administrator so I'm sort of flying blind a bit in that I can't see the actual deleted image per se and am only going by how it seems to have been used in the article as well as whatever experience I have when it comes to assessing non-free content; so, if you want to through out my WP:!VOTE than that's fine. Fastily, Stifle, Hut8.5 and Jo-Jo Eumerous, however, are administrators who can see the deleted file and who are pretty experienced when it comes to file stuff; so, there opinion might carry more weight than my. If they can be swayed to reopen the FFD discussion for this file, then that's fine. I think though that you're going to need to make a more compelling argument that the above and not basically repeat what the one made in the FFD which led to the file's deletion. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 22:41, 8 April 2022 (UTC) reply

These photographs do show the same building. The only important thing that the non-free image has is that it lacks a few spires, their absence can easily be described in text where they aren't even mentioned. And as folks have said above, if the building still exists you or someone else can go and take a photo, which would make the non-free image (which shows a more recent state than the free one) replaceable. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk) 09:15, 9 April 2022 (UTC) reply

As far as I can see the only "encyclopedic purpose" of the image in that article was to give the reader an idea of what the building looked like. There wasn't any commentary on the image in the text or anything like that. The free version also fulfils the same encyclopedic purpose of showing the reader what the building looked like. Yes, the fair use image had differences to the free image, but unless those differences are actually needed for the image's use in the article they aren't relevant to the question of whether the image is replaceable.

    • Science fiction by definition is a fictionalization of real science. "Antineutronium" can refer to either antimononeutronium (single antineutrons), which is produced nearly every day in accelerators during hadronic collisions, or to antipolyneutronium, which is hypothetical (as opposed to fictional) and has never been detected. The laws of physics require every form of matter to have an antimatter counterpart, regardless of whether sufficient quantities of antineutrons actually exist under the correct conditions to form antipolyneutronium (the material that an antineutron star would be made of). Multiverse theory also postulates that some universes are matter-dominant and other universes are antimatter-dominant (what we call "matter" versus "antimatter" is anthropocentric to our particular universe), and as such antineutron stars should still (hypothetically) exist in other universes, assuming that the sign of charge conjugation is distributed randomly across different universes. Nicole Sharp ( talk) 03:10, 6 April 2022 (UTC) reply
      • The terms antimononeutronium and antipolyneutronium appear unknown to google, and I guess that they are your neologisms? WP:Neologism are best avoided.
      • I note that Neutronium is defined as a substance, not a particle, and in common use it means a material, not simply the particle it is made from. I think this distinction carries into derivatives of the word "neutronium".
      • I do not find any reported evidence that neutronium, or antineutronium, has been observed to exist (bigger than a single neutron, or smaller than a neutron star). Evidence of a transient particle is not good evidence for the bulk substance. Every use of "antineutronium" I find comes from science fiction. Two such uses are in articles. The existence of a redirect that prevents a reader from finding the term used in these articles is a disservice to the reader. SmokeyJoe ( talk) 03:58, 6 April 2022 (UTC) reply
    • It should also be pointed out that there is no way to tell for sure whether a neutron star (or any other electrically neutral astronomical object) is made of matter or antimatter, other than by the annihilation of infalling material. We just assume that all the neutron stars in this particular universe are made of neutrons instead of antineutrons, which is the simplest explanation based on our current understanding and observations. One of the motivations for impacting space probes early in the space program was the serious concern that the Moon or Mars might be made of antimatter.

    • Redirect pages are not relevant to Wikipedia Search, since any user can manually search for keywords, even if a redirect page exists for that keyword. The purpose of redirect pages is specifically to avoid using the Wikipedia Search altogether, so that you are automatically taken to the most relevant page for the term you searched for, without needing to manually search through multiple pages. As such, my opinion is that "antineutron" is the most relevant page relating to searches for "antineutronium." Regarding a hypothetical bulk material composed of antineutrons, one would need to link from "antineutron" to "neutron" to "neutronium" but that is acceptable since the fundamental component of antineutronium (in any form) is the antineutron. Nicole Sharp ( talk) 04:04, 6 April 2022 (UTC) reply
      • Redirect pages are relevant to Wikipedia Search in that they prevent an attempted search in the "Go" box from happening.
      • This search: https://en.wikipedia.org/?search=Antineutronium&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 gives exactly two uses of the word "antineutronium" anywhere in mainspace. Both are science fiction. A redirect sending them to a page that does not use the word, and preventing discovery of two pages that do, is a disservice.
      • I think that is just a personal preference. When I do a Microsoft Bing Search for "antineutrium", the first result is the Wikipedia page for "antineutron", thanks to the redirect. I think this is helpful. Antineutronium/antineutrium (regardless of usage or context) is something that is made of antineutrons. Nicole Sharp ( talk) 06:15, 6 April 2022 (UTC) reply

    • "Mono-" and "poly-" are standardized by the IUPAC and have been adopted into physics (e.g. "triquark" or "polynucleon"). It is acceptable to use neologisms when they are standardized by an official body and the meaning is clear. In general use (a descriptivist definition as opposed to a prescriptivist definition), "neutronium" typically refers to the bulk material (polyneutrons or polyneutronium) as opposed to referring to single neutrons (mononeutrons or mononeutronium) as are typically encountered by experimental physicists. With a prescriptivist definition, it is grammatically correct to refer to an "antineutron beam" as "antineutronium" in the same way that it is correct to refer to an "antiproton beam" as "antihydrogen" but there could still be confusion between the polynucleonic material (the most commonly used definition of "neutronium") and the mononucleonic material. However, that kind of analysis I think is too much for a simple redirect. The question for a redirect page is just: "What is the most relevant page for someone searching for 'antineutronium'?". How the word is actually used or from what context is mostly irrelevant here. In every sense of the word, and in every context, "antineutronium" always refers to something made of antineutrons. As such, "antineutron" should be the most relevant page for a redirect. Nicole Sharp ( talk) 04:18, 6 April 2022 (UTC) reply
      • You have a bad case of WP:OR. This doesn't mean that you are not right, but that your arguments are not suitable here.
      • " antineutronium" is used, past tense, verifiably, in relation to The Forge of God. If the title were to redirect anywhere, it would be there. However, the benefit of deletion is that any attempt to jump straight to that title will invoke the search engine and give up-to-date information, on its usage in Wikipedia.
      • If you think it should get coverage in other articles, eg antineutron, then you need to first add actual coverage there.
      • I have tagged the redirect that you re-created with {{ db-g4}}. SmokeyJoe ( talk) 04:57, 6 April 2022 (UTC) reply
      • @ Liz: That seems premature since the consensus here seems to be to keep the redirect, including from the person who originally deleted the page. Nicole Sharp ( talk) 05:46, 6 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Good lord. OK, if we're doing this: allow creation of redirect.— S Marshall  T/ C 11:54, 6 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• If there is any suitable target for this redirect, I would think that Antineutron is a better target than Neutronium because only the former is about antimatter. I note that this discussion is getting bogged down with OR, as is all too common in particle physics. In fact, I had already removed all the fictional content from Neutronium because it was probable OR not backed by RS, and isn't discussed in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 07:13, 7 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Endorse This wasn't a well attended discussion by any means but the discussion it's based on, which deleted anti- redirects, is sound, and a quick search shows it doesn't appear to be a viable search term. Would keep deleted. SportingFlyer T· C 17:43, 7 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Endorse - As noted above, the material is hypothetical, and if the term is used as a search term, we might as well default to using the internal search engine. The particle is only the transient particle in this observable universe. Robert McClenon ( talk) 15:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Allow creation of draft Robert McClenon ( talk) 16:38, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Allow creation as per newly found sources, either as draft or to mainspace. -- Ab207 ( talk) 18:57, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Endorse. Nominator is wrong, the AfD was not closed on the basis of no sources, but on the topic failing WP:NFILM. Encourage him to create a draft, on its talk page note the WP:THREE best notability-attesting sources, and submit through WP:AfC. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 23:14, 5 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• There's nothing stopping you from writing a new article about it, you don't need anyone's permission to do so. The deleted article was extremely short, it only really consisted of a cast list and infobox, so it wouldn't be much help to you, but if you want it restored to draft to serve as a starting point then I'm sure that could be done.

Arabian Gulf rugby sevens team ( talk| | history| logs| links| watch) ( XfD| restore)

This was closed by AssumeGoodWraith as "not going anywhere", but that does not seem like an accurate summary of the discussion at all. While participation was limited, the delete arguments (that there are no sources to support the article content, hence it failing WP:V) are much more convincing than what looks like a claim to inherent notability. Might be an instance of something similar to WP:Relist bias (given that the closer did not have access to the delete option). Should be overturned to delete.

• Endorse per WP:RELIST, a third relist should be exceptional. V, though arguably unmet, can be addressed in that I can find content in Google News search with a slightly modified search string ("Arabian Gulf" "rugby sevens") that would likely support the article. Low participation, low content in the article, and probably hampered by poor WP:BEFORE efforts devoted to the subject; even if it was deleted, it would be at most a soft delete. Regardless, no consensus was a decent read, even by a non-admin, because the participation dearth almost demanded such, although the closing statement could have been better. Of all the Great Wrongs to be Righted on Wikipedia deletion, this seems an odd one to fret over. Jclemens ( talk) 21:44, 2 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Overturn BADNAC. It could have been reasonably closed as "delete", and so it was not an appropriate NAC. It could not have been closed as a "keep". On the basis of the discussion, I think it leans "delete", but in a few minutes I think I cam finding sources, eg https://www.emirates247.com/sports/other/arabian-gulf-rugby-stars-boost-uae-squad-2011-09-20-1.419695. Why did the nominator not check? It does not fail WP:V. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 06:52, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• I wouldn't advise a non-admin to close a sports AfD at the moment. Closing statement is terrible and can't stand.— S Marshall  T/ C 08:52, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Weak Endorse - It was a terrible closing statement, but there is one fact. The AFD wasn't going anywhere. Either No Consensus or Delete would have been a valid closure. It really didn't require another Relist. It should have been left for an admin, who would have had the same result. Duh. Robert McClenon ( talk) 16:45, 3 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Overturn and delete. The two delete !voters raised the policy-based argument that the article had insufficient sourcing to meet WP:V. This was not rebutted. Had we not already had endorsements here, I would have vacated the close and deleted. Stifle ( talk) 08:00, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Comment: At the time of the close of the AfD, the article did not meet Wikipedia:Verifiability as it had no sources and the only "keep" AfD participant did not provide any sources. A more accurate close would be "delete" based on Wikipedia:Verifiability. To address the verifiability concerns, I expanded and added sources to the article.
