List of works published posthumously[edit]

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

Per WP:LISTCRUFT, not seeing the encyclopedic topic here. Paradoctor (talk) 20:35, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions. CAPTAIN RAJU^(T) 21:12, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. The article at the moment is close to a dog's breakfast (a skim through of it shows everything from films where the director or a lead actor had died before release through to those where a character playing a very small part did the same, and I'm sure there are similarly loose criteria for other parts of the list). That said, a Google search on "posthumous work" suggests that there are certainly critically-written lists of the "best" such films and books, as well as more than a few listicles of the same thing. With pruning, this may pass muster. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:20, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe my Google bubble is different than yours, but I fail to see "suggestive" results. Sources would be nice. Paradoctor (talk) 01:50, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was in a rush when I commented earlier. A couple I can find would be:

This piece from the Guardian, discussing the concept of posthumous publication and referring to a handful of the literary works cited in the list.
This one, which is an editorial for an online publication, again citing a handful of at least the names involved.
This, and its friend are examples of the more "listicle" results, which I'm happy to agree with any criticism of regarding reliability etc, although the fact that such things do exist argues that the entries on these lists (or at least a subset of some of them) are discussed as a group in a range of sources. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:20, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We need to distinguish between the list topic and the concept of "posthumous work" (currently a redirect to the list). The first two sources do suggest an article at the latter. Ideally, I'd like to see what shopping list has: a dozen refs, most of which in scientific(ky) journals, discussing the article's topic. The concept of "posthumous work" is likely notable due to the conflict between author's intentions and publisher's interests wrt to publication. Also, the problems of editing unfinished works / fragment collections would probably merit a section in such an article. Lists of works along these criteria from a few decent sources would nix the deletion for me.

"I was in a rush" No worries. ;) Paradoctor (talk) 15:33, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm inclined to agree with you, the more I think about it (I'll maintain a weak keep for the moment, but certainly won't feel slighted if the redirect is converted to an article with a few examples from here). Still looking for a couple of good discussions citing more than the "handfuls" of what's on this list as mentioned earlier, the presence of which may also give us some workable criteria for exclusion of a lot of the current list. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:35, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's such a vague and broad term that will require continual tidying and pruning, otherwise I can foresee repeated additions from (for example) editors whose cousin worked as an extra on some film but died before it reached the cinemas - it's just unmanageable, and I don't see how such a list serves any useful function. It makes the whole Wikipedia project look comical. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 11:21, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, but delete the drama and film sections. Movies and plays aren't "published". Clarityfiend (talk) 11:54, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Publication says otherwise. Paradoctor (talk) 15:34, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It may or may not be considered publication in some weird legal sense, but not by the general public. Also notice that neither movies or plays are mentioned in Publication#Types of publication. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:45, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Try publishing: "Publishing is the dissemination of literature, music, or information" (my emphasis). See also "to produce or release for distribution".

"neither movies or plays are mentioned" Didn't notice the {{expand section}} tag? ;) E. g., Dramatic Publishing. Paradoctor (talk) 14:38, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Films and plays are not information except in the very broadest sense. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:01, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:LISTPURP as index of articles by significant shared feature, and per WP:CLN as complementary to Category:Works published posthumously. That categorization has been maintained ~~without controversy~~ since 2006 (the only CFD discussions I could find involved a rename), so I see no reason to raise doubts for a list that can be annotated to explain its inclusion. But also following the lead of that category structure it probably makes sense to turn this into a list of lists that focus on medium, so list of books published posthumously, etc. That would help better address the broadness of this list as some have complained above, and targeted lists could better address what is meant in the context of each medium. That is of course a matter for further development by editors. postdlf (talk) 15:04, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"without controversy" That is not correct. More to the point, searching CfD and AfD for "posthumous" netted this:

The following are not about posthumous "works", but deal with the general criterion "posthumous"

The category has the same problem as the list. The "shared feature" is, by all appearances, not supported by reliable sources as a notable topic. It may be, but where are learned, scholarly, professional, or otherwise reliable sources concentrating on the topic? Shopping lists are as mundane and random as it gets, yet they do have an article supported by reliable sources. I'll gladly be shown my error, but I do insist on being shown. Paradoctor (talk) 17:57, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected on the CFD history. But the parent category has still survived, and specific categories were deleted were for reasons particular to categorization and the categorization of people, and even the nominators in many of those CFDs suggested lists instead. I also think the degree to which there are inclusion problems it is very medium-specific (with books, there is no question, with movies, arguably more ambiguous), such that wholesale deletion is not appropriate. postdlf (talk) 18:19, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The main purpose of the list is to show that there actually is quite a bit of argument going on. I'm not about to review all these discussions in-depth, save for pointing at WP:CCC.

But this is beside the point, as is the question of the vagueness of "posthumous" in some circumstances. The reason for this discussion is WP:DEL8. Where are the reliable sources establishing notability? I'm afraid two blog articles/opinion pieces are not sufficient to establish notability for "posthumous work", let alone the list topic. The two listicles are more nicely formatted clickbait than anything else, though I'll give Historylists points for being ad-free. Paradoctor (talk) 19:11, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Only notable works should be listed, and so this then functions as an index of articles. There's no need for the fact by which the articles are indexed together to itself be notable (though you concede above that the topic of posthumous publication probably is anyway), to the extent that even makes sense as an analysis. postdlf (talk) 19:57, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:LISTN: "Notability guidelines apply to the inclusion of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group." Shopping lists are the topic of scholarly discussion. There is even a one shopping list that is notable by itself. Where are the sources discussing lists of posthumous works, as opposed to sources discussing posthumous works themselves? Is there a notable list of posthumous works? Paradoctor (talk) 20:19, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This page is not about a list, because the list is not a subject; it is just our format of presenting information. LISTN is only one way to assess notability in relation to lists, its own terms state that it is not the only way, and it typically does not make sense when applied to article indexes. postdlf (talk) 21:31, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ^{Babymissfortune} 23:41, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but trim per Clarityfiend and Postdlf. We should have distinct lists for different significant kinds of works, and tight criteria for what it means for a work to be "published posthumously". For example, for films whose actor/actress died before the release, this should be limited to billed performers in a starring role in the film. bd2412 T 22:08, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. , and edit as suggested just above by User:BD2412. Appropriate list, multiple sources for having such lists and for considering them notable. DGG ( talk ) 00:20, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hamburgevons[edit]

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

Wikipedia is neither a dictionary nor a collection of neologisms. Unnotable word. L3X1 (distænt write) 20:01, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FTR, when I googled this I get an empty news page and a general search return of non RS. That is BEFORE. I am now convinced of notability. L3X1 (distænt write) 14:50, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, typography doesn't really end up in the news very often, does it? You would have seen a different picture if you'd tried a google books search, or if you'd known of the spelling variants (now pointed out by the IP who expanded the article). – Uanfala 14:54, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This could be added either to Typeface#Texts used to demonstrate typefaces or to Filler text. – Uanfala 20:36, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- The trouble is deeper here. The article is based on an unreliable source. In five minutes I discovered a whole new vocabulary that would have been used in this article. It's not a "bottom horizontal line," it's a "arm." It's not a "right-hand curve," it's an "ear." We need to strive for quality. Rhadow (talk) 20:57, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What I want to know is what the word means. The article doesn't tell me. I suppose some wikilawyer might try to say that without a definition it can't be considered a dictionary entry :) L3X1 (distænt write) 21:31, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, in its twelve letters, it has an example of every straight line and curve in a standard font. It's not a word. It's a sample graphic. Liken it to the typing sample. "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog," which uses every letter of the alphabet. Rhadow (talk) 21:43, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:ONEDAY Billhpike (talk) 00:25, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Please reconsider the WP:ONEDAY argument, I have added a few book sources, one is from 1972. Sam Sailor 23:11, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If someone (anyone) had bothered to do a WP:BEFORE, they would have found many reliable sources in books on typography that describe its use as a test word for font design and layout. Diverse published sources in reliable publications = notability. Seriously, with so many excellent published references out there why are you all advocating deletion?198.58.171.47 (talk) 02:13, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello 198.58.171.47 -- My point exactly. If the article creator had looked, the text would have been ... expository. Since you found so many excellent published references on Hamburgevons, why do't you put them in? Rhadow (talk) 02:24, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did. Eight sources and a biblio entry added, as well as an image from Commons. You should try researching the subject and adding sources sometime, as it is more constructive than not doing any research and blindly voting.198.58.171.47 (talk) 02:32, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per 198.58.171.47's work and the presence of enough sources. Shouldn't the title be changed to Hamburgefonts though? – Uanfala 11:57, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per 198.58.171.47. Seems like a topic which meets WP:GNG. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 23:33, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, an obscure term of art is no reason to delete, when there is (and there is) adequate sourcing for it from that field. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:39, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In another realm, Morphenniel PRODded a "Very obscure term that you would only find in a economics book, not an encyclopedia". Is HAMBURGEVONS very obscure or just obscure? Rhadow (talk) 13:22, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But that article was completely unreferenced. Perhaps you need to try editing articles and get some experience before delving into deleting them. Or are you just on Wikipedia to cause disruption and trying to delete the hundreds of hours of effort of true editors. Morphenniel (talk) 14:36, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep article has been substantially improved and certainly meet WP:GNG as not even ordinary font, but one for special purpose. –Ammarpad (talk) 07:28, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a nonce word for printing tests with no inherent meaning. At best it will be a WP:DICTDEF. The only reference I could verify was [1], which aids not at all in determining what the title would/should be. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:18, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Nonce-words aren't exempt from the notability guidelines, we've got articles on two dozen or so of them: Category:Nonce words, Category:Filler text. – Uanfala (talk) 00:30, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. more than a dicdef, and adequately referenced. DGG ( talk ) 21:55, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable enough and plenty of good sourcing to be found. It is worth keeping for readers who are looking for clarification on this non-word that is outside the scope of a dictionary. NerudaPoet (talk) 22:22, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Referenced in the typographical literature at least as far back as 1972. Neither a neologism or a dic def. Sources have been added, meets GNG. Sam Sailor 23:11, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Note that Hamburgefonts is currently a redirect to Type design. That should be changed to point here. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:33, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A Comparative Analysis of the Histories of Different Countries' Education Systems[edit]

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

This topic is a synthesis / original research. The references do not write about comparative analysis of different countries. So what we have here is a summary of the history affecting education in several countries. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:59, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Beiern (talk) 01:58, 7 December 2017 (UTC) This article is comparing eight different countries and how their histories affect their education systems. All sources are scholarly articles taken from JSTOR or other highly-regarded articles. Therefore, it is not original research. None of the information in this article is opinion-based; all statements are backed up by the scholarly articles previously mentioned. We, as the authors of this article, have already linked the article to a page based on Comparative Education and plan to change the title of the article to more specifically identify the topic of the research in the article. Beiern (talk) 01:58, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is a collection 3 WP:ESSAYs (Spain and Argentina / France, Taiwan, and Montserrat / Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iran) masquerading as a Wikipedia article. each sub-essay compares a rather random set of countries.Icewhiz (talk) 08:48, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A WP:BEFORE turns up no reliable independent sources to establish verifiability. Only one source CricketArchive whose own notability is in question. After eight years, we don't even know the cricketer's first name. Rhadow (talk) 22:46, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "Don't know the individual's first name" isn't really a very logical rationale for deletion... Bobo . 22:57, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Leaving two comments here at the same time because combining them into one comment makes no sense. We need to make a decision about this and then work on applying the solution. If you believe Cricketarchive's notability is "in question", then we need to look at a massive number of cricket articles on here... anyway, main point, if we are still deciding to delete cricket articles willy-nilly, we need to work on a solution, such as completing articles like List of Colts Cricket Club cricketers. These articles are no use with just the articles we've randomly decided to delete willy nilly. Bobo . 22:57, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep - has played first-class cricket. As I've said above, if we need to create a solution like club-by-club lists of players, then this is a job which should be on our priority list before sending to AfD articles which clearly meet guidelines. Bobo . 22:57, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Bibi. Furthermore, I'll add that POINTY, aggressive and destructive nominations like this is one of things that makes me want to stay away from Wikipedia.

Delete The general notability guidelines trump sport specific guidelines, and those require multiple reliable third party sources. One directory listing just does not cut it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:37, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Interesting that you have voted delete in 97% of the last 500 AFDs you commented in. Jenks24 (talk) 09:13, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- Another very poor article based purely on statistical entries inflated into prose. The material is so minimal that it's not even possible to determine the player's first name. The only source has been shown to have non-negligible rates of error, which is problematic for the biography of a (presumably) living person. A better solution would be to merge into a list of players by club, but those seem to be discouraged currently. Reyk _YO! 06:58, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Only because they have consisted of the articles which people have decided, by their random, non-compliance to any kind of guideline, personal opinion as to which articles belong and which don't. If you are prepared to write an article named List of Colts Cricket Club cricketers, containing every first-class/List A player, please do so. Bobo . 09:46, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I asked User:Reyk at a previous debate to justify his assertion that CricketArchive has "non-negligible rates of error" by citing some examples of his own use of the site. I'm happy to state that I've used CricketArchive both here and in outside work over a period of about 12 years virtually every day, and have found it overwhelmingly accurate, and also amenable to correction for the very few errors and omissions. What is your actual experience of using the site, User:Reyk? Johnlp (talk) 10:32, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I provided a list of errors to you earlier. But I know how this is going to go: I show you two mistakes, you'll want to see five; I show you five, you'll demand 20. Sorry, not playing that game-- there are no goalposts in cricket. The mis-spelling of names and the vagueness regarding similarly-named players that we already know of (and for every demonstrated mistake there's undoubtedly several undetected ones) is enough for me to insist on independent verification beyond a handful of stats that barely amount to a few cells in an Excel spreadsheet. Reyk _YO! 11:02, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - You provided one instance where what appears to be a spelling mistake is repeated across both CricketArchive and Cricinfo, and another (on a cricketer whose AfD resulted in a "Keep") where CricketArchive was unable to differentiate between cricketers of the same name and was sensibly unwilling to conflate. It's not unreasonable, for those of us who use CricketArchive daily and rely on it, knowing it to be 99.9% accurate and reliable, to ask what depth of usage and knowledge enables you to derive your view that the site has "non-negligible" rates of error. Johnlp (talk) 11:18, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - And this would result in Wikipedia writing two articles about the same person as though they're two distinct people, or fusing two different players into a single fictional person. That you don't see a problem with writing biographies of living people when you can't even be 100% sure of their identity is very telling. Reyk _YO! 11:25, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      - I don't say that it is satisfactory, and one would always want more detail when it can be found, which is likely to be in Sri Lankan sources. But the AfD in that instance was for "Keep" and the certainty provided by CricketArchive was that a player of that name appeared in that particular notable match, and that was patently enough in that case for the WP community as a whole. Back to this one: why is it that you seem so reluctant to provide us with more evidence of your deep knowledge of the apparently multiple errors in CricketArchive? Do you actually use the site to contribute to WP? I'm trying to AGF on your behalf, but you must give me a bit of help. Johnlp (talk) 11:34, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As a matter of interest, if you wish to contact CA as to the "errors" you have found in their database, I have found them very hospitable to alter their database on the grounds of cited, factually accurate, provable data. Bobo . 11:23, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. First-class cricketer playing cricket at the highest domestic level in a country that plays Test cricket: therefore passes WP:CRIN, which is the longer, more explanatory form of WP:NCRIC which is itself the sector notability guideline that links into and informs WP:GNG. Johnlp (talk) 10:36, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I can't decide whether this destructive apparent campaign to have first-class cricketers from non-English speaking countries deleted from Wikipedia will end up at WP:LAME or WP:ARBCOM. Either way, it's distasteful, POINTy and contrary to our values. This first-class cricketer is verifiable despite the paucity of English-language sources. The lack of first name doesn't change that. His existence is demonstrably encyclopedic and the exceptionally tenuous attack on the highly-regarded source, used widely by cricket experts willing to shell out to get through the paywall (and sorely missed by those who can't afford to) brings even further discredit to the cause. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 11:57, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of the above, sadly. Our database is being destroyed by people who don't care for the sport nor for basic, consistent, NPOV guidelines. Has every major cricketer from a first-class English county team now been covered? Sadly this will probably mean that every major cricketer from a country other than England is now under threat, and there is no point submitting articles because in eight years time someone will come along and delete them... Bobo . 12:02, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I will say up front that I think this article should be deleted according to current WP:GNG definitions. Based on the subject's cricket activity, there is no way it will ever be anything more than a micro stub. It will never be a core in-dpeth article based on cricket activity. It is merely a replication of very basic and limited sports statistics. Where is the consistency in notabiity. If this was about an academic I suggest it would be hyper speedy deleted. If it was about a female football player it would be argued about but I suggest pretty solidly deleted. There are hundreds if not thousands of articles like this one. I note comments about building the [cricket] database. As far as I am aware this is not what Wikipedia is about. It is, amongst other things, about intrinsic demonstrable independent reliable sourceable notability. The subject does not deserve an article in its own right. However, the content is perhaps arguably encyclopedic. Accordingly, I suggest, if it is kept at all, the current article should be reduced to a redirect to an entry in a list table of this subject's cricket statistics, for the one club they played for once (a single event?) at top level.

Speedy keep. BW Wijetunge is a first-class cricketer and according to guidelines of WikiProject Cricket, first-class cricketers are noteworthy. Now I have added the Cricinfo profile of this particular first-class cricketer into the article. So it should not be deleted. Abishe (talk) 07:37, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Couple of misconceptions here. Firstly, this is not a speedy keep criterion. Secondly, the cricket wikiproject's rules are not guidelines, are strongly disputed, and are not accepted by the community outside the wikiproject. See, for instance, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/D._Kodikara, among many others. Thirdly, CricInfo and CricketArchive are not independent sources in the sense that one copies extensively from the other (or maybe the copying goes in both directions, I'm not sure), and this includes the copying of errors (see, eg, the "Brainder Sran" bungling pointed out here). It's not possible to regard these identical stats listings as two independent sources for our purposes. Reyk _YO! 09:33, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Badgering much? The odd article being deleted doesn't make us lose hope, and shouldn't make you start jumping up and down like an excited teenager just because you're getting your way. The fact that you seem more busy to push your agenda makes Wikipedia sad. The fact that people can't maintain simple guidelines is another issue entirely and frankly would see almost any other user dealing with any other sports biographical topic being topic-banned. As per the usual, the delete arguments are based on WP:ONESOURCE (which is fixable as soon as you point it out to someone), and WP:DONTKNOWHISFIRSTNAME, which seems to be a new guideline which I'm not aware of. Bobo . 09:42, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are red herrings here. The overwhelming consensus of just about everyone who knows a jot about cricket is that Cricket Archive and Cricinfo are both reliable sources. There's no such thing as a source entirely devoid of errors. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 11:11, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In fairness, if we only restricted cricket AfDs to people who knew about cricket or cared about Wikipedia, these debates would not be necessary. Bobo . 11:41, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We already discussed putting the single-appearance players into articles like Panadura Sports Club single-appearance players. It was rejected. WP has policies about BLP that require coverage beyond an entry in a stats database. As to corrections to CricketArchive, that's great. Show us please a source you would use to correct B. W. Wijetunge, perhaps even her first name. Rhadow (talk) 12:01, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was rejected because people included only the articles which, against basic logical Wikipedia guidelines, had been deleted. If people had been willing to make lists with every first-class cricketer for a team, this would not have be a problem. Mind you, if everyone had stuck to the same basic guidelines, this problem wouldn't have had to have been created, either... Bobo . 12:04, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not come close to meeting GNG. Per this RfC and recent AfDs, it is clear that SSGs do not supersede the GNG; therefore all keep votes above based on the subject meeting WP:CRIN are invalid. Dee 03 08:07, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just because you disagree with someone's opinion doesn't make it "invalid". I could just as easily point out that the two main notability "guidelines" completely contradict each other and therefore make each other completely worthless, proving that brightline criteria are the only sensible arbiter. Bobo . 11:05, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can find nothing to show notability for this person beyond their one appearance in a cricket match. The sources provided are database entires rather than substantive sources and tell us that a match that he played in took place, his surname and initials. We don't have a forename, date of birth or even which hand he batted with for example - in those circumstances I don't believe that we'll be in a position to verify anything about the person beyond what we currently have at any point in the foreseeable future. If we can't add substantive sources then there's a clear failure of the GNG and several RfC (such as this one) have made it clear that sports notability criteria only provide a presumption of notability if there is a hope that the GNG will ever be met. The close of the recent Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/D. Kodikara certainly seems to support such a position as well. In addition this is (probably) a BLP. In this circumstances I'm even more wary about keeping the article without sourcing beyond minimally detailed database entires - the profile tab of the one inline source in the article says it all: "Oops! We do not seem to have enough information about this player. Please check again later."

If we had a forename, date of birth etc... and the player could be shown to have played in other cricket matches (i.e. of a non-first-class status) then I could be persuaded that there is a reasonable probability that sources might exist. I would have no prejudice against the re-establishment of the article if such sources can be shown to exist. Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:45, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For what it is worth, I strongly suspect this was Bernard Wijetunge, who captained St Peter's College, Colombo in the Battle of the Saints in 1975 (the Sri Lanka equivalent of Eton v Harrow), and won the Saints Quadrangular with OPs in 1990 (for example, this); his father, also Bernard, played for St Peter's in the 1940s, and his son Sheehan in the 2000s. The point of a presumption of notability is that there are almost certainly offline print sources in Sri Lanka - probably including sources in languages than English - to establish his notability, in the 1970s or the 1990s or later. All we need is someone with the time and inclination to search through old newspaper archives in Colombo. Absent that, systemic bias (against things that happened in a foreign country far away, in another language, before the dawn of the internet) will see this article deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.74.175.21 (talk) 23:08, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bernard Wijetunge Jr is possibly the B Wijetunge who played club cricket for Nomads in the 1980s.[2] Hack (talk) 00:36, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Intriguing detective-work, cheers. Given that the main deletion rationale (as always) is "don't know the individual's first name", this fairly invalidates the initial rationale for deletion. Bobo . 18:23, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A blog entry by Dion Walles is not a reliable source that fairly invalidates anything. Insufficient to support a (presumably) BLP. Wijetunge is not an uncommon name in cricket or Sri Lanka. Piyal Wijetunge was the subject's contemporary (with a single cricket reference). Dingiri Banda Wijetunga was the prime minister of Sri Lanka in 1990. Rhadow (talk) 19:04, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which would be fair enough if this individual's name was DB Wijetunga. But it's not even spelt that way. Bobo . 19:10, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As a point of information, The Sunday Leader is not a blog. Nor is The Island. But I am impressed by your evident knowledge of frequency statistics of surnames in Sri Lanka. You have found our two articles. How many other people with that surname do you think there are? It is not like Smith or Jones, certainly. Or Wickramasinghe or Dissanayake or Jayawardene. I've also seen the Singhalese transliterated as Wijethunga. Another of the difficulties of dealing with events twenty and more years ago, far away in a foreign language. But the similarity of a relatively unusual surname with a couple of other clearly-notable people with articles is somewhat beside the point, although I would not be at all surprised to find they are all reasonably closely related. There are actually two existing sources for our article on the One Test Wonder Piyal Wijetunge (one in the infobox, and another to ESPNcricinfo; no doubt one could be added to CricketArchive without any trouble; as a Test cricketer who has also coached the Sri Lanka national team, he is also mentioned in many easily available newspaper reports). If I am right about this being Bernard Wijetunga Jr, he is actually from the previous generation (around 18 in 1975; Piyal was born in 1971). Bernard appears to be a prominent member of the Sri Lanka business community now, involved in tourism. If only there was an editor in Sri Lanka who could do the research using offline sources, rather than pontificating from afar using the paltry gleanings of Google.

In other words WP:VERIFY is totally failed on a BLP? It might be Bernard. The other one might be Bernard. They both might be Bernard (wouldn't be the first time the databases have got things wrong). Or neither may be Bernard - we simply don't know. If VERIFY is failed on a BLP then we have to seriously question if the article is one that should be kept - it makes the case for delete stronger, not weaker. It can always be re-created when the necessary clarification is gleaned from somewhere or other. Blue Square Thing (talk) 06:22, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I spend a lot of time voting on corporate AfDs and expect there to be some reliable coverage to substantiate notability. It's hard to argue that a player who appeared once is notable, while the match he appeared in doesn't even warrant coverage anywhere on Wikipedia. The most logical (but not easiest) solution is to put this player on a list of players for the club, but certainly not to devote an entire article to him.

Nom comment - I reverted an old vandal edit which hid the original entries being disambiguated, leaving only a see-also list of related titles which would be normal to find on a disambiguation page. However, the two titles being disambiguated, both "Hartford Wailers", were never known as "Whalers", and are also both redlinks. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:42, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Me Too (hashtag)[edit]

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

The article consists mostly of an arbitrary list of names of people who have had harassment allegations levelled against them since the fallout from the Harvey Weinstein controversy. While the article purports to about the Me Too hashtag, the minimal amount of content dedicated to this aim compared to the length of the indiscriminating list of names that follows it gives it the appearance of a WP:COATRACK.

Some if not many of the names being linked to single allegations are not even necessarily related to the topic of the page, and many of the citations are to questionable sources. Without specific context for each person listed, the list is a libel lawsuit in the making and is likely in breach of WP:BLP. An indiscriminating list of anyone who has since had any sort of allegation of any type made against them, regardless of reliability, as long as they are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia page is not the responsible way of documenting these serious, potentially reputation damaging matters.

There is some discussion on the the article's talk page about the appropriateness of the included list, but most of the conversation appears to be between contributors who created the list in the first place. Given the potentially defamatory nature of the list and a possible breach of WP:BLP, it seems appropriate to list the whole article here for a broader consensus. Kb.au (talk) 15:07, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Clearly a notable movement or moment or some such thing.[5][6][7] I had said this should be merged into the Harvey Weinstein article, back in October. In the last six weeks, this has clearly blossomed into a notable topic. They are Time Person of the Year. We're not committing libel, we're reporting on founded accusations. I wouldn't be against finding another name for the page (Time Magazine called them the Silence Breakers, so I redirected that term to the Me Too article), but the content meets WP:GNG. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:15, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. I think you might have an argument for the removal (or addition) of specific individuals or incidents, and certainly BLP has to be a concern with topics such as this. But I don't see any credible argument that the topic is not notable.

It's not a question of WP:BEFORE in this case (see User:Ritchie333/saves - I know all about WP:NOTCLEANUP - indeed I came across this article when declining an A7 tag on it), just I think a dedicated article for a terrorist is not a great idea (see WP:BLPCRIME) and I do not think there are detailed enough sources that an article that isn't basically a hit-piece can be written. Indeed, that NYT piece isn't really about him as such, it's about the problems of extremist radicalisation generally, and I have high standards for articles about living criminals.

You are confusing "looking for sources and finding them insufficient" with "not bothering to look for sources". AGF, please. As a related point, what should the first sentence of the article be - "Jerôme Courtailler was born in Bonneville, France" doesn't tell us anything, "Jerôme Courtailler is a convicted terrorist" isn't strictly accurate, ""Jerôme Courtailler is a radical extremist jailed for attempting to blow up the US Embassy in France" is too long winded.

I was responding to "The article is sourced and he is name-checked to The Guardian, so it's not a WP:G10" with the results of my BEFORE - I did not say anything regarding your due diligence prior to nomming other than disagreeing with the result. Regarding convicted terrorist - he was in an Al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan and convicted for terrorism charges, however WP:TERRORIST may apply.

Keep as a secondary school per longstanding precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:38, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Using WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES as a guide but not a reason unto itself, my reasons for nominating were:

Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist.
References to demonstrate notability may be offline, and this must be taken into consideration before bringing a page to AFD. Given that the article was tagged two years ago for being unsourced, I would think that if any offline sources were going to be added, it would have happened by now.
The only sources I could find were primary/self-published; brief mentions on the sites of architects and job postings; or news articles where the school was mentioned but not the primary focus of the writing.

--Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:10, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pinging Egaoblai and Störm, since they mentioned these sources in their keep rationales, just in case the above changes anything for them. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:52, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well actually reading those sources again, both mention that another school is being planned in Astana. So they're not as strong evidence as I suggested above, but taken with the other mentions (and, it appears, there may also be others in local language media of which only a small number appear in my google searches), there is enough to show that this school was planned and then opened. We're simply trying to show that the schools is not a fake and it exists, I think this collection of mentions is enough. JMWt (talk) 13:00, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've managed to find one other source at least, and have added that to the article. Most of the rest should probably be deleted as unsourced and overly promotional. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:56, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou Cordless Larry for the ping. they seem to have provided new sources for WP:V. so at the moment my vote is the same.Egaoblai (talk) 14:50, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some more mentions showing that the Astana school exists [15] and [16] JMWt (talk) 13:11, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

also for completeness this: [17] - not totally independent as it is written by the headteacher, however it is in an secondary publication who presumably are persuaded that it is a real institution. Again, not enough on it's own, but adds to the picture. JMWt (talk) 13:30, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have no doubt that it exists - we have the sources to demonstrate that. The question for me is whether there is enough coverage to warrant a separate article, or whether a redirect to Haileybury and Imperial Service College#Haileybury Astana might be a better idea.

These mostly seem to be about Darden, not Season 52, and notability is not inherited.Slatersteven (talk) 17:24, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Seasons 52 is a substantial, moderately high-end national chain (although it flopped in L.A. despite its health conscious, portion-controlled concept). GNews shows slews of hits and even if many of them are just local reviews, there's enough there to allow someone to turn this into a substantive article, if they're willing to expend the effort. As it is, the article does have a tinge of promotionalism and not much in the way of facts, so even though I do think the subject is notable, I could understand if the consensus were to merge this into the Darden article until someone actually writes a better article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:27, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

An fully automatic redirect to a different search confuses those searching for Rick Steeves, given the overlap in content (both travel authors, both widely traveled in Europe). That's widely evident when searching on-line for "Rick Steeves". I left in the reference to the other author, because he's certainly MORE notable. However, the error itself is notable in permitting those to find the correct source. Searches for Rick Steeves will generally turn up "Rick Steeves" pages, which primarily are for the same individual: Rick SteevesRickss03 (talk) 18:40, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rick, please read the policy on writing your own autobiography at WP:COI. Understood your concern about disambiguation. The idea of Wikipedia is not to disambiguation from every "George Bush" in the world, but only those George Bushes who have a Wikipedia article. And that is determined if they are notable or not. So we discuss if Rick Steeves is notable. If not, there is no reason to disambiguate with Rick Steves. -- GreenC 00:25, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Here's a whole lot more that I think are just as worthy bringing to the discussion:
There are far too many lists on educational institutions in cities, districts and states as I just found out in the drop down list. Literally all of these come under the Unsourced listcruft category. If you are thinking of deleting this list article, I feel all of those can also be added instead of just deleted one or two.PremKudva^Talk 03:37, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But there are many articles like this such as List of high schools in New York City and List of colleges and universities in New York City, List of active and defunct high schools in the Archdiocese of Detroit, List of high schools in the Cincinnati metropolitan area. If we take a decision, it would be good to have a collective decision for all.--DreamLinker (talk) 04:29, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- What "value" does it create for a reader, that is any more than what we get far more easily from the category page? I agree that "a page which lists these articles" is valuable and necessary. But that can either be a category (which we already have) or a fuller list article, like NYC schools, which this is not and we appear unlikely to get. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:33, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Then I will quote from WP:CLN: "Categories, lists, and navigation templates are three different ways to group and organize articles. Although they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, each method complements the others." and call WP:NOTDUPE to attention: "Furthermore, arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided." Whatever state some unlinked list article about NYC schools is in, could serve as an inspiration for other list articles, but it is not a reason for deletion.

Keep - The current state of sourcing in the article is poor. However, I can find multiple reliable sources that directly discuss the book's content. I don't have much experience applying WP:NBOOK, but being the subject of two published book review articles in academic journals would seem to satisfy criterion #1. In addition to the one review article cited on the page, I can find others by M Donelan, B PORTER, and DM MacKinnon. This is in addition to direct references to the book presented in at least three books. This meets our basic inclusion criteria at the least. I'll update the page with more (and better) citations as I get time over the next few days. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 00:38, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Robert James Martin Wight (1913 – 1972), also known as Martin Wight, was one of the foremost British scholars of International Relations in the twentieth century, author of Power Politics (1946, revised and expanded edition 1978) as well as the seminal essay "Why is there no International Theory?" (first published in the journal International Relations in 1960 and republished in the edited collection Diplomatic Investigations in 1966). The present Wikipedia article on Power Politics provides an enlightening overview of Wight's theses on international relations which have lost none of their relevance since first publication. The book's existence deserves to be noted on Wikipedia. I hope that my today's copyedit of the article will help enhance its attractiveness to readers.

Comment: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heberto Andrade and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heberto Andrade (2nd nomination) both consist of a majority vote of which is keep. I'm well aware that this does not mean an article should stick around. I'm aware of the many times that a majority vote was still turned down. But I include this because many users in the past have made some pretty good arguments. Those nominating this article for deletion, or even keep, should at least take a look at the past discussions in the past nominations' entries and read the points that were made. -- AlexanderHovanec (talk) 22:36, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Well this is disappointing. Though I can't argue with the past nominations. Andrade does seem to be one of the least notable people of the Pirates staff. Nonetheless, I'd like to ask why Euclides Rojas meets the requirements, and why Andrade doesn't, compared to Rojas. In other words, could it be explained what Rojas has that Andrade doesn't? They practically have the same achievements and they're both bullpen pitchers for the Pirates. I know Mubosh thinks bullpen pitchers aren't notable, but I'd just like to question what Euclides has that Andrade does not. Hopefully this'll better my understanding of who needs an article and who doesn't, regarding my future article creations. A little help from the admins'd be appreciated. 👌 Last time I compared Wikipedia pages, I was scorned by an admin for whatever reason. He claimed he had no obligation to delve into the research, and I suppose did not feel like reading the article I linked and figuring it out. I don't think it takes that much work though... so I don't know how other admins would feel about helping me out here. Can someone list what Rojas has, to deserve an article, that Andrade lacks? How is Rojas more notable according to Wikipedia's criteria? Regards. -- AlexanderHovanec (talk) 06:10, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It may just be that Rojas hasn't been nominated for deletion yet (by nominating one article for deletion, no one is saying that a different article actually meets WP notability requirements). However, just at a glance, I see some differences. Rojas may have a case for notability via WP:NBASE for his participation as a star player with the Cuban national team, or he may meet WP:GNG because there are full-length articles (one I see is in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) that discuss Rojas, his career and his status as one of the early players to defect from Cuba. Note that neither subject is a "bullpen pitcher" - Rojas is a bullpen coach and Andrade is a bullpen catcher, a non-playing and essentially non-coaching role in which the subjects don't usually get significant coverage in reliable sources. EricEnfermero (Talk) 08:27, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@AlexanderHovanec: WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is an argument to avoid in deletion discussions. Bullpen coaches are covered by BASE/N because the presumption is there are sources, and a quick Google search for Rojas does turn up sources, while one for Andrade does not. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:35, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is a bit more information on the chain in the German Wikipedia article. Doing a gBook search, I was able to find a mention going back to 1985, unfortunately because the book predates the internet, little is visible in the snippet view. And then there's a discussion of the acquisition of the chain here. And, because it is a German chain, there is reference material available only in German.

It's not a periodical so that essay doesn't really apply; there are no independent sources so according to that essay it still may be not suitable - all it says is the promotion that it is the "most comprehensive.." because there are no independent sources. Not only that, it's not used that much. Used for various articles and some books, but only a few of academic work. Those articles are usually not very significant either. Galobtter (pingó mió) 09:21, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
From NMAG: evidenced by citing reliable sources which write significant commentary about the periodical in relation to the specific criteria and It is possible for a periodical to be notable according to this standard, and yet not be an appropriate topic for coverage in Wikipedia because of a lack of reliable, independent sources on the subject. Galobtter (pingó mió) 07:45, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- After re-reading, the wording of NMAG states that it doesn't apply here. I disagree with that position. Cricketarchive is widely cited in Wikipedia articles and in research papers on cricket-related topics, and is updated regularly. That should be sufficient for it to be considered notable. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:36, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. First and best website bringing together the many statistics from notable (first-class, List A) cricket matches in one place, therefore a significant resource for sport historians. It is also updated by significant authorities within the sports itself (national and local cricket clubs feed in directly) and by knowledgeable commentators. Johnlp (talk) 10:59, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I suggest to keep this article in English Wikipedia as it is used as one of the most reliable cricket websites used in WikiProject Cricket. I am shocked that this particular article has been nominated for deletion after 12 years since its creation. CricketArchive is a notable website and it is used as the primary source along with Cricinfo in creating most of the articles in Wikipedia. On the other hand, CricketArchive stores disability related cricket scorecards as well such as Deaf Cricket World Cup scorecards. So CricketArchive website deserves the article in English Wikipedia. Also the particular article is available in other language Wikipedias, so it should not be deleted in English Wikipedia. Abishe (talk) 07:08, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is possibly important. However there are no independent sources that talk about it, which is the criteria for WP:NWEB. Because of that, it is also quite promotional. We need at least one independent source to talk about it . Galobtter (pingó mió) 07:44, 8 December 2017 (UTC) Being used a source does not really confer notability, at least in the absence of even one independent source describing it. See also my reply to power above. It is not suitable as there are no independent sources. Galobtter (pingó mió) 07:49, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Being "quite promotional" is not ground for outright deletion. Once article is not G11'able, that means the promotion can be removed, even by you. –Ammarpad (talk) 06:30, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - very important resource for cricket. Maybe we can't find sources online but surely they exists. Störm (talk) 13:34, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @Galobtter: Now, I think article is in better shape with proper citations necessary to pass WP:NWEB. Maybe this is enough for closure? Störm (talk) 08:35, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I only see two lines in telegraph that in any way is a source. That's not enough for WP:NWEB - being used/mentioned in media sources doesn't mean that much. Galobtter (pingó mió) 08:43, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - If you are going to disregard mentions in national daily newspapers such as the Daily Telegraph and the Irish Times, that's going to set a very high bar for articles, and there would probably be thousands that would need to be deleted. JH (talk page) 10:23, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is essentially one line + a quote from the website. That's nowhere near what we need. Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:36, 9 December 2017 (UTC) I'm not setting the bar - that's WP:N. Thousands would actually need to be deleted, because there are thousands of non-notable articles among the 5 million that we have :) NWEB needs significant coverage - not just trivial description of the site or mere mentions. This is also to make the article not promotional and not rely solely or almost entirely on the website's own description of itself. Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:43, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep With its important to Cricket in general and as recognized database. Also the the sources in the article do indeed establish notability and WP:NWEB is met. –Ammarpad (talk) 10:53, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I agree with the nominator. I can find lots and lots of example of the website being mentioned briefly in articles in all sorts of places. Many of these essentially boil down to things such as "According to cricketarchive.com, my go-to place for such trivia..." (Guardian). What i can't find - and, believe me, I've looked - is anything that deals with the site itself in an in-depth way. If such passing mentions are enough to meet NWEB then fair enough, but they don't appear to do enough to meet it as I read it right now.

I have no doubt that CricketArchive is useful, reasonably comprehensive etc... I've no doubt that it's a reasonable source to use for many things - and that's what many of the keep votes here seem to amount to. But I don't see even vaguely in-depth coverage that would persuade me that the website - as a website - would meet the relevant notability criteria, let along something such as WP:ORG or the GNG. It concerns me that a number of the keep votes here don't refer to the relevant notability criteria. Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:25, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Many of the keep voters have said that sources about them exist, but none of them have actually produced any substantial sources about CA. As such, it seems the coverage of CA is insufficient to meet WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:46, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are sources already in the article. Also for "insufficient to meet GNG" opinion; that's very subjective statement, how many sources are sufficient? –Ammarpad (talk) 10:28, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

GNG is subjective but in this case there's not enough one source that has even a full paragraph on it. Galobtter (pingó mió) 10:33, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. More material has been added, just in case anyone would want to review their vote in the light of it. Johnlp (talk) 10:26, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Having some important people does not give 'em notability; praise that it's database is "unmatched", would indicate that sources could be found, but they haven't been. Galobtter (pingó mió) 10:50, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for informing the AfD - it's always really helpful when people do that! My gut response is that I'm still unconvinced that NWEB is met - specifically whether, "the content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself". Beyond non-trivial, if we were to take the ACS comments into account I have obvious issues with "multiple" and I'm concerned about the relationship between the ACS and CA - is there an "independent" relationship or are they, in many ways, the same core people involved? I'm really unsure about this and would welcome some clarity - certainly the ACS website seems to suggest that there is an informal working relationship between the two at least. Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

brief summary of the nature of the content is trivial coverage - I would say it is trivial too. Galobtter (pingó mió) 12:23, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would tend to agree - the ACS stuff is the most detailed I've seen: the rest is certainly trivial; if there were multiple sources in the sort of detail the ACS has then I might be convinced, but I have real concerns about the independence of the source - both founder of CA are ACS members and have won ACS awards for example. Blue Square Thing (talk) 13:41, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If there are only two websites that claim comprehensive statistics on a sport, then one is best and the other second best. It makes neither of them reliable or notable, which is why no reviewer has written a comprehensive review. Lots of people use them, yes, and many quote from them, too. It doesn't make the subject website notable. Rhadow (talk) 12:33, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Engineering News-Record California - "Los Angeles Begins EIR on Visionary Hollywood Central Park Project", Gizmodo - "Five Cities Turning Ugly Overpasses Into Vibrant Parks", Urban Land - "Cap Parks", Curbed Los Angeles - "Plan to cap the 101 freeway in Downtown LA with a park moves forward", Los Angeles Times - "Freeway cap parks can be L.A.'s High Line" (op. ed.), Unrbanize.LA - "Downtown Freeway Cap Park Reemerges", "Exploring Glendale's Freeway Cap Park", Next City - "Seattle Architect Says the Time Is Right for This Highway-Capping Park Design", The Dirt - "In Los Angeles, Freeway Cap Park Plans Move Forward", Time Out Las Angeles - "A look at the proposed plans for Glendale's freeway cap park", Archinect - "More details on Glendale's "freeway cap park" emerge", btw where is the article: Cap park (any article creators out there are more than welcome to use any of the above sources:))?

Good idea. There are now many, including Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. Hope someone writes it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:12, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think a "cap park" is the same thing as a "Linear park". I don't see any difference between the two, and have created the redirect, but if someone thinks they are different, they can always develop an article using the excellent sources above.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:27, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I changed the category on the page to Category:Proposed parks in the United States. Sourcing is sufficient to keep this article. If the project gets cancelled, we update the text and create a category similar to Category:Failed museum proposals in the United States and move it there, as was done, for example, with The Boston Museum.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:42, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While it seems to have marginally better sources than it did when tagged in 2009, it still only has at best one fully indepdent, reliable source. This is just not enough to pass GNG, and his roles as an actor clearly do not add to notability. His role as an activist is the only place where he has a chance for notability, but my search on google did not show any sources that suggested he has actually achieved notability as an activist.

Weak Keep - Looking at the arwiki + a check in google books and scholar seems to indicate he quite possible passes on WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF (was dean at the Sharia faculty in Zarqa University). Due to the nature of the subject area, most of the sources are in Arabic, however he does seem to be mentioned quite a bit in book refs. It also seems he was translated quite a bit - google-books with Ashqar as author (mainly translated) - which is typically a sign of author notability.

@Kvng: Then if offline sources are found we can look at them. A lot of English language 'offline' stuff is in fact online (Google Books). We cannot assume that sources exist. If they do not, and nobody can (or bothers) to find them, the topic fails GNG. It is pretty simple.

K103CX[edit]

Station is fake, no station with this callsign appears in the FCC database. Furthermore, 87.9 would be channel 200, as in K200AA. K103CX would be 78.5 on the FM dial. Broadcast FM radio in the US only goes as low as 88.1 with just one station (K200AA) on 87.9.

The 87.9 frequency is not available for other stations to move to or new stations to begin broadcasting from, per FCC rules. K200AA being on 87.9 (and KSFH previously being on that frequency) were flukes when those stations were pushed off their previous frequencies and 87.9 was the only frequency available.

Keep On the talk page of the article I had highlighted four sources that help establish notability here ([23], [24], [25], [26]). Some of this is trade press stuff but mostly has bylines so generally considered reasonable sources. As for the other concerns, I assume this isn't WP:G11 unambiguously promotional or we wouldn't be here. Any other WP:PROMOTIONAL issues are not so severe as to require WP:TNT and can be fixed through editing. Also we don't delete things just because there are paid or COI editors involved.

Delete I completely disagree with the line that "this AfC acceptance was grossly inappropriate" and to be honest I am slightly surprised to see it written by Tony. This draft is very borderline in terms of notability and it is not completely unreasonable to see a reviewer accepting this. I also ignored the promotionalism- that can be improved and doesn't require deleting the whole article to do so. The issue is that the subject is fundamentally not notable- the four sources listed above are what I judge to be insufficient and largely reprints of press releases, which don't help to demonstrate notability. jcc (tea and biscuits) 15:57, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Comment regarding notability: one, while VTOL aircrafts e.g. Harrier Jump Jet have been experimented with and developed in the past, it has taken some time for this technology to translate to the realm of drones. Currently, professional drones either follow Fixed-wing aircraft design or Rotorcraft designs. Reason behind drafting this article was to throw some light on one of the few mature drone technologies that emulate VTOL design (i.e. hybrid of Fixed-wing aircraft and Rotorcraft design). That WingtraOne is notable in this regard can be verified with a simple search for "VTOL drones for surveying" etc. Secondly, some of the sources cited such as this one [27] from Neue Zürcher Zeitung and [28] (edit: another independent source: [29] and its written summary [30]) are reputable, independent sources and not press releases, but perhaps not checked so far because of language/regional reasons. As the technology is based in Switzerland, there are reputable sources like these to be found in German (and WP:N does allow for sources other than English). Would also point to the editorial integrity of sources such as this one: [31] and this one: [32]. For the technology itself, there are references to research papers published in IEEE, e.g. [33], [34], [35]. Would agree that the article can be improved with regards to WP:PROMOTIONAL and this is also indicated by the Start-Class label as assigned by Kvng, but would otherwise vote to keep as it talks about technology (VTOL drone) that is starting to mature and is likely to see more entries in the future.

Keep. In general, "a specific type of aircraft that has flown" has been considered to be prima facie evidence of notability; the explosion of mini-/micro-/nano-/itsybitsyteenyweenie-drones has made that a bit wobbly in their situations, though, as radio-controlled aircraft do not count, in Wikipedia terms, as aircraft - where is the line between "aircraft" and "toy"? That said, once a little elbow grease was applied to some very simple formatting of the article, suddenly it looks much more like an article and much less like an advertisement. And while the WP:BOMBARDMENT of references does include a lot of the "not intellectually independent" types that are in vogue at AfD to be called out, I believe there is enough here - perhaps just enough, but enough nontheless - to establish WP:GNG compliance. The article does, in fact, need a lot more polish and pruning of the spamosity that is in the aforementioned bombardment, but AfD is not for cleanup - and, at this point, all that is needed is cleanup, not deletion. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:36, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- So you are saying that there are no policy based reasons to keep? Considering that the notability guideline makes it clear failure of NOT is a reason for deletion. You also seem to be calling for us to ignore NCORP, specifically WP:ORGIND because you want to allow non-independent sources to count. Deletion is not cleanup is an essay, and spam is not something that can be cleaned up. By allowing it here, we are actively undermining Wikipedia. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:28, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I beleive The Bushranger is making a WP:NOTCLEANUP argument. ~Kvng (talk) 15:54, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which is not policy based, correct. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:56, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Spam is not something that can be cleaned up" is a WP:IDONTLIKEIT argument: WP:SPAM, in fact, explicitly states: "When an article on an otherwise encyclopedic topic has the tone of an advertisement, the article can often be salvaged by rewriting it in a neutral point of view." - so Wikipedia's own policies and guidelines disagree with your assessment. The policy-based reason to keep is WP:PRESERVE. As for "WP:NOTCLEANUP is only an essay", WP:CONSENSUS - which said WP:ONLYESSAY documents - is policy. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:13, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

False, we delete spam per WP:DEL14 and WP:DON'T PRESERVE all the time. It is up for the participants in an AfD to determine whether it is worth doing that. Deletion of borderline notable topics because of promotionalism is becoming the normal consensus in AfDs. Additionally, ignoring the promo aspect if we shall, this article is entirely non-notable. My point with ONLYESSAY is that cute redirects that don't address the actual policy arguments for deletion (obvious failure of NOT, and failure of the GNG) are not valid arguments. If this survives AfD, it will be the exception to the norm, and will likely be back here within a few months, because as it stands now, there is no actual reason to include this in Wikipedia even from the most generous inclusionist standpoint. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:22, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Utterly non-notable subject. After I removed the founder's biography and sourcing to articles that were not about them at all, it is entirely sourced to the company itself. You'll find a fair amount of Google News hits, but those aren't coverage of the company: they are photo credits for architectural renderings. In addition, this is a commissioned work that is designed to promote the subject. After all the spam and misrepresentation was removed, there is nothing left for an article.

Keep - Satisfies WP:GNG with multiple third-party sources. Also, the Austin Senators and the Texas League are not "low level". The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 03:46, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. In 1907 alone, the Texas League was classified as a "C" level minor league, below five "A" level leagues and seven "B" level leagues. As far as the sources, one is a PDF of a game he played in pulled from a blog-type site, while three others are books which merely mention his name, not proving ample coverage of his life and career. The Sporting News article doesn't even mention him. Penale52 (talk) 16:58, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I should point out the number of "A" and "B" Leagues above the Texas League is irrelevant as all were on equal footing (at least compared to others at the same level.) So there were two steps above it, not 12. I'm not saying you were suggesting otherwise, but I want to make this clear to anyone reading this who may not be as knowledgeable about the levels. Nonetheless, it's not high level, so it comes down to GNG, which I'm undecided about for now. Smartyllama (talk) 16:56, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Just curious, Paulmcdonald and The Master which sources supposedly help this player meet GNG? The ones in the article? Those passively mention his name and others are about a blowout minor league game. I haven't found a single source that describes him significantly which is what we actually look for when we measure a subject against GNG. I urge you both to read the sources and reconsider your stances. By the way, the teams are in fact "low-level", as in they are minor league ball clubs.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 08:55, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Above link to CSV file compiling view and subscriber levels of 277 channels found in List_of_YouTubers article, illustrates that YesReneau's channel rises above the 25th percentile in subscriber level and 17th percentile in view count, which suggest that it meets level expected.

If there exists an authoritative source as to what exactly is level of view and subscriber counts expected from YouTube content creator to have their presence on Wikipedia other than data from contemporaneous articles, please refer to it before stating it hasn't been met. How else could we gauge expected level if not by contrasting with parallels?

Moreover it is advised to bring the article back to state from before being stubbed: Special:PermanentLink/803897636 where secondary sources to support multitude of primary ones were USA Todays and The Tabs published articles originated by journalists S. Behrens and C. Verrastro respectively.

While quest of editors that stubbed the article, which seem to be keeping Wikipedia in constraints of what constituted as encyclopedia historically, has been serving platform well in many cases, here it is not well grounded nor in bounds of fine line that distinguishes between constructive moderation and overextending behaviour.

Following search result returns over 5000 biographies of living people hosted on Wikipedia linking to USA Today, most of which are using it as secondary source:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=incategory%3A+Living_people+linksto%3A%22USA_Today%22&title=Special:Search&profile=default&fulltext=1&searchToken=dt1ie0hybbm6knhd7xza4pr0u

The Tab while less popular as source, caters for two YouTube personalities' biographies on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=incategory%3A+English_YouTubers+linksto%3A%22The_Tab%22&title=Special:Search&profile=default&fulltext=1&searchToken=bqus41uv91n8pkz38y6pjo0f8

Above results suggest that publishers in question were historically considered reliable enough (Even though specific articles used in the Special:PermanentLink/803897636 may relatively weakly classify as reliable secondary source as per WP:No_original_research#Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources, they still do. Please correct me if I'm wrong.) to support vast supply of primary sources.

Comment. It's surprising that this discussion was relisted, given that the long "keep" argument above is entirely specious. Appears as if the moderator did not actually check it. Briefly, the commentator is arguing keep on the well-known GHITS fallacy and that the sources in a previous version demonstrate notability. They don't and that is because they were all either YouTube videos or webpages. There wasn't, and still isn't any RS. To further the argument, this panelist offers more websites and WP searches, i.e. Wikipedia sourcing itself. As I said, some simple checking, which took me just a few minutes, shows the entire argument to be specious. Agricola44 (talk) 15:53, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Agricola44: It's a closing administrator's (note: administrator not moderator) job to assess the consensus of the participants in an AfD, not to impose their own judgement on the available sources. The initial delete !votes cited a lack of sources. L8 ManeValidus explicitly contradicted this and listed several sources. Nobody responded to this significant new claim, hence my decision to relist. The onus is now on those in favour of deleting to assess and respond to these sources. This is a discussion, after all, not a poll. – Joe (talk) 17:06, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If what you say is true, then closing admins are just vote counters and we should just have a bot take over that job to save time. It is the closing admin's job to assess the evidence in each commentator's argument. For example, "keep per GNG", the most heinously abused argument in all of AfD, is not equal to some cogent, evidence-filled argument to delete. The "keep" argument I commented on is specious, which minimal checking has confirmed. (There is no onus. The job is already done.) Agricola44 (talk) 17:31, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This region doesn't seem to be mentioned in the single source given, and I have found no official figures for it. Googling "[anywhere] region" will always find stuff (eg "Reims Region"), likewise "downtown Trondheim", "central Trondheim". They are just weakly defined notions.
