Mizanur Rahman Khan[edit]

No evidence of notability. Two obituaries used as sources and looking for sources I did not find any significant coverage that would contribute towards notability. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 14:17, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Journalism, News media, and Bangladesh. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 14:17, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Seemingly non-notable, though some light searching indicates that he was a rather influential journalist/editor at the largest newspaper in Bangladesh. Would err on the side of delete unless someone (perhaps with better access to Bangladeshi sources than I) could provide evidence of greater notability.

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Women, and New Zealand. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:49, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep there are some article about her like 2011 Stuff-article during her early years, 2021 Daily-Sun-article about her and her partner and 2023 NZ-Times-article described her as the captain at the 2023 World Championships. Articles not counting I think (too short and somehow related to the subject) are the many of announcement- and results-articles with some paragraphs about her like NAU Athletics and New Zealand athletics. Note that her best result: 10th-place at the 2023 World Championships is not included in the article. 109.37.152.36 (talk) 10:22, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thank you 109.37.152.36 for finding the 2011 Stuff article (the first link above), I think this is a good reference to support notability. But it doesn't seem enough on its own, so does anyone have more examples of in-depth coverage? Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 01:47, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Twice represented New Zealand at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships (highest level of the sport of cross country) and captained the national women's team. SFB 17:41, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Representing at the "highest" level is not a criterion for WP:NTRACK. LibStar (talk) 23:30, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment 3 of the 4 sources are primary. The other one is a small mention of Roughan. LibStar (talk) 01:35, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete.The Stuff article is a high school interview (fails YOUNGATH) conducted by a journalism student (not RS) N. All the other sources are passing mentions. The Daily Sun article literally just says, 3/4 of the way into the text, "So Baxter, his wife, Emily Roughan, and Miles booked tickets." That's the only time she is mentioned other than once in a followup quote by Baxter. That is patently not an article about her and her partner N. The times.co.nz article has 1.5 sentences mentioning her N. Does not meet GNG.

delete clearly fails WP:NPROF and he does not seem to have a substantial impact on the academic discourse. The few mentions of him in the academic literature describe him as a freelance researcher in a local University journal. Nothing in the article indicates notability. The only coverage I could find was this single article [1] about ancient board games that were discovered, which is pretty short and not really about him but about the discovery he made. --hroest 21:59, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Country-Wide Insurance Company[edit]

Delete - Lack of reference (reliable source) and notability issue makes it a perfect candidate for deletion! Ekdalian (talk) 14:05, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep due to flawed nomination, since many sources exist for this 60-year old company, which I have added to the article (WP:HEY):
"No-fault Insurance Law Ruled 'Constitutional'", (where the company challenged a SCOTUS ruling)

"Insurers Ranked by Complaints"

"Country-Wide Under Fire From State Insurance Dept"

"State Ranks Best, Worst Automobile Insurers"

"State Revises Ranking of Insurance Carriers"

"A.M. Best Revises Outlook to Negative for New York's Country-Wide", (a trade journal that goes into depth about the company)

As the situation stands now, almost every sentence in the article is backed up by a third-party independent source, and the promotional tone has been completely excised. StonyBrook _babble 17:39, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regrettably, I think of these, only the last one is a plausible claim to notability. The additional source search is greatly appreciated, but even by the standards of the time, rankings updates is likely WP:ROUTINE and their involvement in a legal case has a WP:INHERITED issue given that they're only mentioned superficially there. I don't have an account to access the last source so it's difficult to comment. BrigadierG (talk) 01:43, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I think this coverage is also routine. A change in rating is similar to reporting on a change in stock price which is explicitly covered as not implying notability. BrigadierG (talk) 16:34, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete notwithstanding StonyBrook's diligent work. This company is on the edge of notability. As insurance companies go, it's small: just 250 employees and sales are limited to the New York City area. What might make it notable are all the negative reports and legal issues associated with this company. I turned up >50 using the Wikipedia Library. From a Wikipedia procedural standpoint, while collectively they paint a picture of the company, they're all small news chunks and that's not good enough for our unusually stringent requirements for any articles about companies. Otherwise, I'd say "keep" because there are certainly enough reliable sources to support an reliable article. Final comment: I would not buy their insurance.

Ping me if something promising turns up to establish notability.

Keep - The article needs work and a lot more sources, but the subject seems more than merely notable. The term itself is used in common parlance and rarely elaborated upon, making it a natural subject for an encyclopaedia. The paucity of information here is disappointing, as is the lack of such obvious concepts as familial and managerial power structures that we deal with every day of our lives. I am surprised the nomination got past D4, though, as gScholar has scads of info that would greatly improve the article. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:02, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't look like she meets WP:GNG, especially if WP:FORBESCON pieces are excluded.

Leaning weak delete here.

Kadabra[edit]

One of the much older Pokemon articles on here, it's held up entirely by the lawsuit which in all fairness can be summarized briefly. Any discussion that was there is barebones and extremely limited, with the most reaction being to one particular Pokedex entry and in all fairness all the same reaction. WP:BEFORE didn't provide anything else either, and when listicle and extremely brief sources were cleaned out there wasn't anything left. Kung Fu Man (talk) 20:35, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam - we went over this 2 years ago and everyone decided that Kadabra was the only notable Pokemon there. Stuff like this, this and this are definitive proof it's notable, and whether it's due to a controversy or by its own merits is irrelevant. At most it's a discussion for a potential move to Kadabra controversy, but some page on this should exist. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:54, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At the very least the argument can be made that the controversy is the notable aspect and not the Pokemon itself, but it's still something that can be summarized briefly in a sentence or two. Why would you feel a whole article is necessary?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 21:47, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There's been news coverage over decades, so I feel like this is indicative of an unnecessary rush to merge things that may be notable unto themselves. There's not really a specific reason I think it's necessary, I just also don't agree it should be forced into a merge. I think my views are best summed up with WP:NOTPAPER - if it's minor, but it's notable, Wikipedia doesn't have to combine it to "save space" or some such. There's space for most anything. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:53, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But it's still just one singular event, and even then looking at the sources there's not a lot to say. It can be summed up in a single paragraph, and the other aspects of Kadabra as a fictional character have nothing to do with it.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 06:47, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If this were before there was a bunch of news coverage about how Geller took back his accusations, I'd probably agree with you. I think that shows WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE and importance. The fact that this has been an issue that fans have cared deeply about for 20 years and enough to force a well-known figure to walk something back is unusual for most characters, much less an individual Pokemon. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:15, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with Zx's argument after some debate. I wouldn't be opposed to a move to a "Kadabra controversy" page, or a potential merge to Geller's own article, but the information here is inherently notable. I feel the focus being on the Pokemon may be a bit misplaced, given the focus on the controversy more than anything else. Kadabra did have some controversy besides that, but I don't know if it's enough to merit separation.

As an aside, I went searching for additional sources a while back and found these:

It's a Dark World - Google Books

These are the creepiest Pokemon to ever exist - WIN.gg

But they're admittedly rather iffy, and I don't know if that's even close to enough to help the article substantially. If anyone performs a search and finds anything not in the article, then it might help its case. Regardless, I'm willing to change my vote depending on how the discussion goes, but for now I'll concur with a Weak Keep vote. Pokelego999 (talk) 22:29, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looking into it, win.gg appears to not be listed on WP:VG/RS; however, my observation is that it does not appear to have an editorial policy, and the staff's credentials are not evident. I would contend that it is almost certainly not reliable. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 12:29, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's a very iffy source, but I felt it would be good to at least reference its existence just in case. Doesn't seem like it'll be too handy now, though. Pokelego999 (talk) 17:04, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per as hashed out 2 years ago and determined notable by standards that have not appreciably changed since. Jclemens (talk) 23:59, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Kadabra is notable for a single event. I also find that a "Kadabra controversy" article would run afoul of recent decisions regarding controversy articles. For something that can easily be summed up in a few sentences - "[Whomever got sued] was sued by Uri Geller for allegedly stealing his spoon bending as part of creating the design for Kadabra. This led to Kadabra not being featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game for years in order to avoid controversy. Geller ultimately gave permission for Nintendo to resume printing of the card after Pokémon fan comments convinced him to do so." The article relies exclusively on this event to assert notability; the concept and creation section's only creation info is that Kadabra once had a different name, and the rest of the Reception has nothing of note. It's either listicles that all say the same thing, a non-notable and unverified instance of a preacher calling out Kadabra as Satanic, and additional details tied to the Geller case. Are we truly saying that a Pokémon is notable solely based on a single event? It seems to me like an extremely low bar for notability at that rate. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 01:07, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep consensus was to keep 2 years ago and that Kadabra is especially notable of the 3 Pokemon included in that AFD. Not much has changed since then. FYI the nominator blanked large parts of the reception section prior to nominating it for deletion. While some of the removal was fair enough, I've restored the sourcing which I believe to be more than a "trivial mention" which is the litmus test used for WP:SIGCOV. As part of the blanking rationale it was said that listicles can't be used. I believe that as long as their is some level of discussion about the character a listicle is fine to include per SIGCOV which states the article subject "does not need to be the main topic of the source material". This is notwithstanding that SIGCOV is purely a notability guideline and does not dictate MOS, i.e. article content. Satellizer el Bridget ^(Talk) 08:08, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Now hold on, I outright stated at the beginning I removed sources that were mostly trivial or unusable, and you restored two (2): one is an Inverse article repeating the "kid can turn into Kadabra is creepy!" sentiment in the very same manner as two of the previous entries, and the other is ScreenRant which is doing exactly the same thing, and per WP:VG/S shouldn't be used for notability more often than not. With [12] and [13] saying the same thing, are we really arguing repeated lists commenting about the same single Pokedex entry makes it notable? Previous AfDs on this same sort of subject have shown that doesn't hold much water.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 08:14, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Point taken re ScreenRant (though I do question whether WP:VG has the power to override a WP:RSN discussion that Screen Rant is usable for everything except controversial statements in BLPs. I do not agree with your other point though. Surely multiple reliable sources independently saying the same thing about something makes said thing more notable, not less. Satellizer el Bridget ^(Talk) 02:10, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's more a case of all the sources saying exactly the same sentiment on exactly the same thing, and it doesn't help "disturbing pokedex entry lists" are to Pokemon what "Top 10 Hotties lists" are to female video game characters when it comes to media outlets. If they said different things (especially about different entries) I would agree but they could easily just be bulletpoint chained behind one encompassing ref.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:44, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the Lawsuits section of Uri Geller. There have been several AfD nominations for Pokemon entries recently. In terms of notability, the consensus for these sort of determinations seems to be whether there are independent and reliable sources that offer some perspective about the Pokemon external to the work, often its design or reception. Sources with trivial reception (i.e. listicles stating it's the best, it's "scary", or it's "cool") tend not to be seen as a strong case for notability, which makes up most of this article's 'Reception' section. I'm not sure this is a Snorlax-type article where anything significant is being said in independent sources about Kadabra itself, how it was conceived, what impact it has had on popular culture, and anything in-depth about its reception. The sourcing is generally poor. Arguments that the AfD has already been considered should note the discussion was for Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam, which had three times the sources of the current article. In this case, I think the only thing establishing notability is the Geller controversy, which does seem to have engendered some mainstream attention, such as People, CBS, and BBC, but this is an unusual case where the notability of the subject matter is being argued for its controversy revolving around someone else. Given Geller's litigious reputation and coverage in his article, that episode is appropriate to cover there. Without that section, I think the article would not be notable in its current state. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 12:02, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment After going through the reception and cleaning it up, I found multiple cases where the text was somewhat padded, as well as some text that was not true to what was written in the source. Aside from the Geller sources, which are easily summed up in a single paragraph, you have a preacher whose criticisms of Kadabra were reported on by only one newspaper; a handful of sources reacting to Pokedex entries and making roughly the same commentary; and a user poll. I've not yet looked into the sources provided in the AfD, however. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 12:24, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per Cukie Gherkin. Only the lawsuit section has anything substantial and independent. I removed the line about the preacher taking issue with it as WP:UNDUE. SilverTiger12 (talk) 15:10, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Pokemon Trading Card Game, where the relevant controversy can be covered. If Kadabra were a BLP, this would be a BLP1E which wouldn’t necessarily require an article on its own.

I got an opinion at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(organizations_and_companies) and I believe not having an article on local historical societies is reasonable absent unusual notability.

Delete. As a 9-year WP veteran of almost 200 AfDs, this was my first talk page solicitation. I was surprised and annoyed by the flippant response of the article's clueless creator after I called out their WP:CANVASSING. Typically in evaluating an AfD, I conduct a search for additional sources, and if I find RS, go for WP:HEY and revise the article to meet notability requirements. In this instance, however, while there are a few decent newspaper sources on the Carmel Valley History Center, there are only passing mentions of the Society. In my judgment there are not enough sources on the historical society itself to warrant this article: as Gertrude Stein said of Oakland, "There's no there, there." — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 09:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Yes, I was pinged and wp:canvassing was likely not followed properly but appears due to not knowing. That is not a reason to not objectively evaluate the article.

Comment - Agreed that it fails AUD. The lead paragraph of WP:ORG says, The scope of this guideline covers all groups of people organized together for a purpose with the exception of non-profit educational institutions, religions or sects, and sports teams. (Italics mine.) The Carmel Valley Historical Society is a non-profit association, but it does not qualify as an "educational institution". To prevent non-neutral promotional articles, WP:GNG is not enough for organizations, which are handled separately under WP:ORG. This article must therefore must meet the WP:AUD subsection of WP:ORG that says Attention solely from local media (e.g., the weekly newspaper for a small town), or media of limited interest and circulation (e.g., a newsletter exclusively for people with a very unusual job), is not an indication of notability. I've looked pretty thoroughly for regional/statewide sources, but the article fails that notability criterion. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 17:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment On North8000's talk page, the article's creator posted this We have spoken before about the Carmel Development Company Building and the Edward G. Kuster articles, and I know you are interested in California History. Please check out the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carmel Valley Historical Society and add your 2 cents to keep the article. I think the article has merit and should not be deleted. Any help you can be provide would be appreciated. Thanks!. He also posted something very similar to several other users on wiki. I am uncertain about extent to which he canvassed outside of Wikipedia. Graywalls (talk) 16:42, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My intent was not to canvass but to see if other editors could speak up and save an article that I feel is worth keeping as the only Historical Scoiety in the Carmel Valley area. Canvassing is a new concept to me and I now know not to do it. However, it should distract from the merit of the article. Greg Henderson (talk) 16:57, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Actually Greg Henderson specifically asked that North8000 vote K**P before changing his post after being called out for canvassing.[7] I think the closing admin take this canvassing into consideration, and also please consider reading the talk page of the article creator to understand the long time (over 10 year) history of COI, UPE and promotional editing. It seems that this article is part of a walled garden. Nor is this the first time canvassing took place as it also happened after numerous articles on the Henderson family and their associates were created by the same editor., so any claims that they did not know any better is questionable. Netherzone (talk) 18:05, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
BTW the background description on my talk page is not accurate. As far as I can tell my only interaction was that during NPP work I marked the two linked articles as reviewed and left one of my common complimentary notes on those and I never expressed the particular interest described. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 19:40, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Obviously many hours of work have been put in over many years by this editor to create this article and a large number of connected articles and it is disappointing to now have all this questioned. Unfortunately, most of them consist of large amounts of WP:OR, and use local and self published sources, not to mention are not written with a WP:NPOV. I wish this was picked up/addressed much earlier. But for the purposes of this discussion, it seems to me the only thing that matters is WP:ORG, and specifically WP:AUD, which is not met. Melcous (talk) 23:22, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Please look at the list of County and local societies. California only has three that are written. Now look at the two other ones that are written and you will see a similiar style. This one, the Carmel Valley Historical Society has WP:RS and follows the WP:SNG and WP:GNG guidelines. Don't delete it just because you have an issue with the editor. BTW, the Orange County Historical Society (Orange County, California) has WP:SPS and is shorter and less informational than my article. Greg Henderson (talk) 23:46, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than WP:Articles for deletion, wouldn't it be better to notify the author/editor, and give them a chance to improve it? Where is this desire to nuke them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greghenderson2006 (talk • contribs)

Comment I have new WP:SECONDARY's to support the article and its history. Both citations provide interpretation and synthesis of the of the facts regarding the opening of the center in 2009 and later the museum in 2013. You can read them at the article's Talk page for Request Edit B. Greg Henderson (talk) 14:24, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
These Carmel/Pebble Beach/Monterey articles rely very heavily on hyper-local trivial coverage like the Carmel Pine Cone, which is a weekly publication with a circulation of 18,500. Melcous is correct that the article fails WP:ORG (aka WP:NCORP) and WP:AUD. Organizations and businesses have no inherent notability. What you are bringing to the table with the Monterey Herald is trivial coverage about a construction project and fundraising for the construction, such as Individuals and families pay $100 for a small tile and $250 for a larger one. Businesses pay $200 and $400. “If we sold 1,000 tiles, we”d have the money to finish the project,” Jones said. The society had sold 200 so far, he said. and And a rummage sale will be held later this month at Hidden Valley as a fundraiser, Jones said. It's obvious that it is a community advertorial piece, esp. since it concludes with: For information on how to support the history center, call 659-4338. This is PROMO, not journalism. Netherzone (talk) 14:38, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reading the WP:ORG it says, "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." The Carmel Valley Historical Society has 11 source citations, which is "significant coverage" in multiple reliable sources, that are both primary and secondary. Why would you want to delete an article that has already been reviewed, has 11 source citations, with coverage independent of the article subject? If we are truly an "encyclopedia," then we should allow the Carmel Valley Historical Society to belong to the List of historical societies. Greg Henderson (talk) 14:51, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I find the comments above by User:North8000 to be persuasive. The WP:AUD requirement in WP:NCORP was passed with the intention of curbing the proliferation of paid (or at least promotional) articles on for-profit businesses. The same concerns really don't apply to historical societies which are not driven by the profit motive. Historical societies at their core are intended to promote research, learning, and education about our collective past -- a purpose entirely consistent with our goals here at Wikipedia. I am persuaded that application of WP:AUD to such historical societies is inconsisent with our core encyclopedic purpose. Of course, GNG/SIGCOV would still need to be met, but not the stricter AUD element. (On a separate note, and with a respectful nod to WP:OSE, none of the other 22 pages in Category:Historical societies in California are as well sourced as this one -- do we really want to delete content on these valuable educational institutions?) Cbl62 (talk) 23:35, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
the difference between profit vs non-profit is in how it is registered with the relevant tax authorities in the jurisdiction where it is located. There absolutely is plenty of nonprofit advert articles. Have a look at Habitat for Humanity Canada as an example. Graywalls (talk) 23:49, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just did my best to give input and will be happy with whatever result y'all decide. So what follows is just more "doing my best" discussion. There is a fundamental difference....the mission of one is to make money, the mission of the other is something else. I had considered a few things in addition to those expressed by Cbl62. An article on a profit making corporation is more likely to have maxed out (regarding sources etc.) because typically they tend to have somebody 'working the (Wikipedia) system whereas a non profit is more likely to have additional not-included sources. Also my take ( Wikipedia:How Wikipedia notability works ) that the notability system does factor in to what degree is the topic enclyclopedic and so I consider it to be legitimate to take that into consideration. Sincerely North8000 (talk) 01:52, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The Carmel Valley Histocial Society has significant coverage in media at the regional level and is a member of the Conference of California Historical Society and the Carmel Chamber of Commerce. Mulitple independent and reliable sources are available. Greg Henderson (talk) 17:41, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
GregmHenderson, which regional source(s) have significant coverage of CVHA, the association, rather than the Carmel Valley History Center, which it established and supports financially? — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 17:18, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
CVHA maintains memberships with several notable organizations, including the Conference of California Historical Society, the Carmel Valley Chamber of Commerce, and the Monterey County Free Libraries. These affiliations offer extensive coverage of CVHA's local center and museum while also highlighting its resource base. Furthermore, CVHA enjoys partnerships with various institutions, such as the Carmel Valley Association, Carmel Valley Locals, California Revealed, and numerous others. Newspaper mentions of CVHA can be found in publications from Petaluma, Salinas, and Sacramento. Greg Henderson (talk) 18:07, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of the first three sources you listed, only the Monterey County Free Libraries had any references to CVHS that were not references to the Society's web page, and that only lists CVHS as the publisher of 10 of the 12 books listed. "Newspaper mentions" don't sound like significant coverage... — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 19:07, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The citations have "Significant coverage" that addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content and is the main topic of the source material. Please see Carmel Valley Historical Society, Internet Archive, and Monterey County Weekly for more details. Historical societies like CVHS is an organization dedicated to preserving, collecting, researching, and interpreting historical information or items. Regional societies should not be dismissed simply because they lack the widespread recognition of larger state societies, such as the California Historical Society. It's important to note that CVHS operates within the Western United States and serves as a significant county-level society. Information about CVHS and its historical records for Carmel Valley, California should be readily available to anyone consulting an encyclopedia. Greg Henderson (talk) 20:16, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, the Carmel Valley Historical Society struggles to find permanent site for archive.No Place Like Home article gives signigficant coverage to CVHS. However, this listing contains info from CVHS's website, as does this listing. Not enough significan coverage, definitely not meeting WP:AUD, as the Monterey County Weekly is a small, local newpaper. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 20:40, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Erin Regan[edit]

As a soccer player, she is close to zero in terms of notability. I could not find a single GNG-qualified source about her soccer career to establish her notability. However, it seems that she has received coverage as a Los Angeles County firefighter. She is better known for being a firefighter than a soccer player, yet the article is about her being a soccer player. The next point I want to make is that she is not notable as a firefighter either. Being interviewed a couple of times due to being a female firefighter does not make her pass GNG. She has received coverage for being "one of 79 female firefighters in Los Angeles" here, here, and here. Not everyone interviewed by CNN (which is what I think most of the coverage stems from since it's the oldest interview I could find) becomes notable because of that.

Keep, Regan passes WP:GNG as a firefighter. While Wake Forest Magazine is an Alumni newspaper for the relatively small Wake Forest University and is therefore probably not reliable, the combination of the WBUR piece and the CNN Business article, which has a lot of original content and doesn't really qualify as an interview in my view, is enough to showcase notability.

- Comment. Per the policy of WP:ATD-I, this nominator — who is an active new page reviewer and, assuming good faith, may simply not be familiar with ATD-I — is both allowed and encouraged to unilaterally draftify new articles, especially those fewer than 90 days old, without requiring AfD consensus as a valid alternative to deletion.

Incubation satisfies WP:ATD, allows time for potential collaborative improvement, allows for soliciting feedback via AfC, and automatically deletes the draft without requiring consensus if not edited for six months. Drafts are also not required to meet WP:GNG, and if questionable notability — not verifiability or reliability of sources — is the only concern, then draftification is the most appropriate action.

Particularly, per ATD, "The content issues should be discussed at the relevant talk page, and other methods of dispute resolution should be used first, such as listing on Wikipedia:Requests for comments for further input." This specific nomination admits potential notability and instead proposes deletion over content issues that could have been flagged and discussed on the Talk page, or in comments on a draftified article. Instead, the nominator made no effort to flag or improve the article before nominating. -75.164.167.40 (talk) 17:52, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The only exceptions are primary sources associated with the CyberRays themselves, which also do not contribute to GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 13:08, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - Dorn played in the first season of women's professional football in the United States, and she was a regular as the club won the league. I would've expected more coverage for a player with that background, but I'm not finding it (I'm only finding routine or superficial stuff like these: [12], [13]).

Delete. When this was first created in 2005, Wikipedia essentially conferred an automatic presumption of notability on any television series that was technically verifiable as existing, regardless of sourcing problems. That's long since been kiboshed, and replaced with having to get the series over WP:GNG on its sourceability — but there's no sourcing here, and nothing else of substance turned up on a WP:BEFORE search either. Bearcat (talk) 19:27, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of programs broadcast by Much#Exposed (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. The television show is very close to passing the general notability guideline. It received a substantial review in The Hamilton Spectator. The other sources I found were less significant coverage, which is why I am supporting a redirect instead of "keep". The show aired in 2004, so there is a good chance that there is offline print coverage of the show.
A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow editors to selectively merge any content that can be reliably sourced to the target article or to Much (TV channel). A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow the redirect to be undone if additional significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future.

  The article notes: "MuchMusic is ready to be Exposed. The television show Exposed premièred last week and we got a chance to learn a little bit of what Avril Lavigne has gone through the past year or so. The show is a look at the world beyond the celebrities and the lives of the rich and the famous, when they actually open up to the camera and say what's on their mind. Other stars that will be Exposed will be Sum 41, Shaggy, Swollen Members and Nick Carter. They'll talk with MuchMusic and give viewers insight into their lives. Each week there will be a different celebrity. The format is similar to Egos & Icons, so I decided to watch it to see if I was right. It turns out I was. The only difference was that Exposed was more like "a day in the life" and Egos & Icons was a collection of clips."

Delete The show existed merely to provide 'guerilla PR' for record companies and it's doubtful anything about the interactions between host and artist outside what they said naturally wasn't filed down to the edges to be inoffensive as possible. It's a basic artist profile show, only with shaky cams and location shoots. This Nick Carter episode shows at the end that the record company provided the artist, and all of the sites visited were there in exchange for plugs.

Weak Keep - The concept of graft definitely passes GNG just from common use. There is also a significant semantic difference between graft and the general concept of political corruption, so I don't see merge as a great option. That said, this article does little to show that distinction. It also looks like every time a source is added, it gets deprecated for one reason or another. Draftify isn't an option, either, as there hasn't been anyone seriously interested in the article for years. There is still a raft of good source material on gScholar and gBooks if we could find editors interested in the subject. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 14:19, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article has already been proposed for deletion three times:

6 March 2011
- No references.
3 April 2016‎
- "Both this and the Swedish Wiki have no better convincing signs of satisfying the applicable notability and my searches noticeably found nothing better at all; the current sourcing here is also not convincingly enough."
11 May 2022:
- "Poorly sourced articles to non-independent websites that has been tagged for 9 years for lack of citations."

No sufficient improvements have been made since. For example, its references still "do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources".

Draftify -

This draft or article is about an unreleased film. The film notability guideline identifies three stages in the production cycle for films:

1. Planned films that have not begun production (principal photography or animation). These planned films do not satisfy film notability.
2. Films that are confirmed by reliable sources to have begun production, but have not been released. These films are only notable if production itself satisfies general notability in terms of significant coverage. Mere mention of the start of production does not satisfy notability.
3. Films that have been released, whose notability is determined by reception and reviews, or a major notable award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking.

This film page must be evaluated based on general notability of production..

Transport in the Arab world[edit]

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

WP:UNSOURCED and failing WP:GNG since creation in 2007 (tagged as such since July 2010), and WP:OR in defining a region and listing a bunch of random facts or non-facts such as that Boghé is supposedly a "port or harbour" on the "Atlantic Ocean". As far as I can tell, Boghé (population: 42,759, in the Futa Tooro region where most people speak Wolof or Fula, not Arabic) is a town on a river, some 250 kilometres downstream, flows into the Atlantic Ocean. What this has to do with "transport in the Arab world", I have no idea. Maybe because Mauritania is one of the Member states of the Arab League, and you can use a river to transport stuff? It's such a stretch. (By that logic, we could create an article called Transport in the Turkic world and mention Nukus as an example, and that is being charitable). The entire article is like that. Maybe we could split off the "Airports" section and turn it into something like List of the busiest airports in the Arab League (by analogy with List of the busiest airports in the Nordic countries), and delete the rest? I would prefer a WP:TNT for that though. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:20, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe draftify? This seems like it could be a cohesive topic, but as it stands it's just so vague and unfocused. Needs a lot of work. I would not be opposed to a delete but I do think there's a rough idea of an article here. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 15:34, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's why I'm thinking about splitting off the airports, but it would need to be draftified. Then again, I'm not willing to adopt such a draft, and Reywas92 already pointed out the Arab League does not appear to have a unified transport policy. There is a Sport policies of the Arab League, but that article has its own problems. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:41, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On closer inspection, even the Transport in the Arab world#Airports section is little more than a bunch of WP:REDUNDANTFORKs of articles which can also be found in Category:Lists of airports by country, e.g. List of airports in Saudi Arabia, List of airports in the United Arab Emirates. And they provide more information than just a list of names, so there is no added value to this section at all. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:48, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Arab World or Arab League is more of a ethnopolitical construct than a geographic one, but there are no sources discussion the topic as w whole. It's not clear that the Arab League has a unified transport policy that would warrant an article. Something like Transport in the Middle East or Transport in North Africa could be appropriate, but when this is just unconnected lists of infrastructure that are available elsewhere, I don't see the point.

Delete. No need to rehash the same information time and again. We do not need such articles even by subcontinent. Reason is that people and goods travel between e.g. France and Germany (same subcontinent) as they travel between France and Italy (different subcontinent). For cultural groupings, such as the Arab world, Middle East, and Latin America, these articles make no sense at all! So a big NO also to draftifying. Moderator access to use content for proper continents -- sure. gidonb (talk) 00:24, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. By the way, France and Germany (same subcontinent) ... France and Italy (different subcontinent) is already a controversial statement as well. Germany is often grouped as "Central Europe" and France as "Western Europe" and Italy as "Southern Europe". Then again, you can group Italy and France as "Southwestern Europe" along with Spain, Portugal and Andorra, if you prefer. Or how about categorising Luxembourg as "Northern Europe" (I'm not kidding)? Not last and not least, even the Netherlands can officially scientifically be grouped as "Central Europe" (or actually "Middle Europe") if you're talking about flora; here was I thinking all my life that I lived in Western Europe! It's all arbitrary and it depends on who you ask. ;) Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 09:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move/rename to Transport in the Arab League. We have already debated at nauseam about the definition of "Arab" which at this point seems to be a philosophical question that needs to be debated in a general page to develop consensus that can be applied on other pages concerning Arabs. I disagree with the charahctarisation of "Arab" as a construct; I'd recommend going through the lead in Arabs, and the rest of the article if you want to get into the weeds.

@Sirfurboy:, Good morning. Most of the sources in the article point either to the language Angika or the historical region Anga, both of which are notable. However, the sources used for the "modern Anga region" fail WP:RS. There isn't much in Google/Books either, most of which have been used for wp:or. I believe the article needs to removed from mainspace for failing WP:GNG. Mikeanand (talk) 08:28, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It can't be draftified again so the question is going to be whether it meets WP:GEOLAND. If it does, it is presumed notable. If not then it will have to be a delete (with consideration of salt owing to the way it was rushed out of draft space). I have some reading to do here before I can express an opinion, but to confirm then: (1), it is not a legally recognised name for the region? (2) are there reliable secondary sources that refer to the region by this name now, even without legal recognition? and (3) I see the Angika language was spoken in Bihar. Was the territory of the language formerly known as Anga? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:21, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Sirfurboy: Well, to put it straight forward, it fails WP:GEOLAND. It is not a legally recognised name for the region. There was a territory called "Anga" in the history, which already has a separate article, Anga. Angika is named after the historical territory of Anga, however, there are no reliable sources to establish the notability of a modern day Anga (region). Thank you.— Mikeanand (talk) 11:13, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Sirfurboy the different books such as Agama Triptika have recognised it as a seperate region referring to Anga Lipi 's region. Biharpro7252 (talk) 12:33, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sirfurboy Well It passes WP:GEOLAND
The answer is neither yes nor no.

Yes It is recognised as a seperate region in Modern times.the sources are ABP News which is a national media channel which still shows it as a seperate modern region of Bihar during any coverage on BIhar. Its a common thing in Bhagalpur , Munger and parts of purnea division territory of Anga as popular national hindi newspapers such as Dainik Jagran,Hindustan , Prabhat Khabar have always published it as Anga region hindi ang kshetra.Shreyasi Singh a national level shooter Commonwealth games champion has said in an interview Anga as her region referring to guiness book of world record And the National party BJP in the region have always termed it as a seperate region.The local MLAs and MPs have also recognised the region as Anga.

Yes ,the answer is references are there . Outlook.com an Indian weekly magazine and all the competitive books have recognised it as a language of anga region. sources are there in languages .I will try to upload more.

Biharpro7252 (talk) 12:31, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well that is clear as mud :) So to question 1, the answer cannot be neither yes nor no. It is one or the other. It is a legally recognised region or it is not. From my reading thus far, I am coming down on the "not" side there.

Question 2 has contradictory statements, but what matters is the sources. On the page there are a few useful sources, and one of these is [16] which has:
Angika is the local dialect and is spoken by the majority. It is an Indo-Iranian language of the Anga region of India, an approximately 58,000 km2 area that falls within the contemporary states of Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal.
(page 272). The book is published by Springer, and has good editors but is not on the subject of geography. It is about education practice. But it is a WP:RS I believe. References in [17] on pages 95-98 appear to be primarily historical.

The answer to question 3 is, by general agreement and per that second source, yes there was a historical region called Anga which encompassed the extent of the Angika language. Yes we have an Angika article, but that is about the language, and not the territory. But then we run into a problem, because the linguistic extents of different languages overlap. So an informally defined area as the extent of the Angika language is not a clearly defined region. In any case this article purports to be about a modern Anga region or Ang Pradesh.

I am not convinced the article is well targeted. We have some evidence that the area of extent of the Angika language is still known as Anga. That makes sense, but it is not a legally defined name. Indeed, the area is within other specific regions. I have not been able to find enough on this to make this a clear keep, so at this stage, I am thinking it should be a merge to Angika which article has a territory section, in which we can say that the territory in which Angika is spoken is known as Anga or Ang Pradesh. If I find more sources, or more are presented, I would be willing to reconsider this. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:52, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge ~~Delete per Mikeanand and Fylindfotberserk in the previous AfD (linked in the nomination).~~ /I am myself unsure about what could be merged, if anything, but I believe those editors who say that there is some content good for merging/ I'd particualrly like to point out that I can't verify that this is, as it is claimed, a geographical region as in a region that is bounded by natural features. About "historical region", I couldn't find any confirmation that a modern "Anga region" or "Ang Pradesh" or "Anga Pradesh" contain, as is claimed, includes the territory of the Santhal Pargana division, for example. According to our article, in 2011, ~10 percent of the people in that division spoke Angika. Yet the article seems to argue that the Anga region is the "territory" where Angika is spoken. We could construct a modern "geographic and historical region" like this for any ancient or medieval Indian state, and we'd have layers upon layers of such "regions" that overlap, intersect etc. See: Category:Historical Indian regions. Each has its own legacy and some residual, notional, presence in the modern day, but we should not make modern mirror images of these articles. —Alalch E. 20:33, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per Sirfurboy. From what I understand, Anga is not a legally distinct area. It's just where Angika speakers live. However, language and culture go hand in hand so this is a point of contention. As mentioned in Angika#Relationship_to_Maithili, there is tension between speakers of Maithili (majority language) and Angika (minority language). Maithili speakers have made calls for a separate state (Mithila). Judging by how this usually goes, there is probably some level of irredentism in saying Anga exists as a region of its own for Angika speakers. On the other hand, there may be a case of Angika erasure. Either way, I feel these claims would make great additions to Angika and Anga (if properly sourced). Looking through some talk page history, it seems the article author (Biharpro7252) believes they are targeted by editors who are "all are from a specific political group and always target a specific language and page". Specifically, I think they are referring to Mikeanand who is on WikiProject Mithila. It seems this feud between Angika and Maithili speakers goes a bit deeper. Recently there were a few vandalistic AfD requests by user Proverealbiharhistory who also seems to promote Angika and dislike Maithili culture (they requested to delete Maithili_language and Mithila_(region)) --Klausklass (talk) 05:38, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ya you are right. Mithila too is associated with Maithili.same ways Anga is associated with Angika. There is always some tensions between the both. I too support Anga as my cultural region. 2409:408A:2C44:1B7A:0:0:AA8A:FC0A (talk) 16:22, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mathili and angika is sister language ( same origin) but both are different.official angika is classified as a direct of Hindi and one of addition official language of jharkhand .

Comment in response to relisting comment. I'm honestly not surprised these articles aren't better referenced. It's not fun wading through everything given the number of iterations and the amount of advertising for each of them. I have zero doubt this and other similar original transformers characters all meet GNG individually, they just occupy a very different place in the cultural zeitgeist that is neither pure cruft nor academic. Here's a bit of a refdump to get started with. The Bellemo guide has sigcov of most of the original toys, including this one [18]. Here's a different bleedingcool piece on a different incarnation of the toy. [19], Here's a comicbook.com article on yet another iteration of toys[20]. Here's some more brief coverage from comicbook.com[21] that gives an interesting reception of the original character Jazz was one of the coolest characters in the G1 Transformers cartoon in the '80s - an early harbinger of the hip-hop culture to come, who had his own distinct swagger and then contrasts with the later movie character. Here's some coverage of the character as a car from a car website [22]. For this character in particular, there even seems to be some coverage in Jazz Times [23] though Google books snippet view is failing me and the microfiche on archive.org is not working for me. —siroχo 10:49, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, as it's been archived with the Cliffjumper discussion (another frustrating aspect of this sort of bulk nomination is how fractured the discussion gets) but as a general note Transformers looks like a highly tricky subject to write a good article on. I've been down the rabbit hole a bit with the Transformers Wiki (which is a bit fanboy and a bit sneery) and while they're obviously beholden to a different set of standards in terms of sourcing it's actually maintained and researched pretty well. But I digress. As far as I can tell, Jazz is: -
- A character in the cartoon and the old film
- A similar but different character in Marvel comics
- A similar but different character in the new films
- A similar but different character in a newer cartoon on Cartoon Network
- A similar but different character in newer comics by IDW
- At various points a similar but different character in lots of less prominent media
- And a frequent source of merchandise, some of which is directly related to the various fictional characters and sometimes not
- ...and all of this seems to feed on each other as and when, so you get a toy of the movie character that looks like the cartoon character, or a new toy is referenced in a comic, or a piece of media adds additional character traits, et cetera.
Basically it's really easy to see how a page on any character can get messy very quickly without some sort of semi-official template being set out. And it's easy to see why redirecting to a single bulk list is a dumb "wash our hands of this" step like so much of what happens in AfDs. What would Jazz's entry on that list entail? About the only thing universal is he's an Autobot who turns into a sportscar (as far as I can tell).

I'd be up for redirect or merge the second someone who was actually going to do the work puts forward a solution as to how to implement it. In the meantime I reiterate Keep, as I feel sources are out there, they're just not immediately evident on Google, and those there suggest the character is worth a redirect minimum.

Fails GNG. The current single source in the article, Hypebeast gives just four sentences to this mixtape (the other three sentences is on Khalifa in general, whereas the final sentence is about another unrelated tour) and is not SIGCOV. My BEFORE search found non-SIGOV sources: a 6-sentence coverage here, of which only 5 sentences are about the mixtape (the other sentence is about an unrelated tour), this, which is also just 6 sentences, with the final two sentences about Wiz's High School Reunion Tour, this, with 9 non-quote sentences (even fewer about this mixtape as a few sentences are also about Wiz got his fans ready with a visual for “Close Frame"), this, with only 5-sentences about this mixtape and the rest being simple listings on unrelated tour dates, and other non-reliable user-generated reviews. Overall, I don't see how GNG is met, and would BLAR this to Wiz Khalifa. However, another bold action (draftifcation) was contested, so I am bringing this to AfD instead. Thanks.

Redirect to Wiz Khalifa discography. If there's hardly any references talking about the tape and several tour dates unrelated to it, as well as no charts or critic reviews, I feel like redirecting it. You could draftify it, but what's the point in doing that when it probably'll never meet WP:NALBUM. DaCrashy aka AJB (TALK 2 ME)(Everything I Did) 02:48, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to fail NPROF, ANYBIO and GNG, lacks any reliable independent sources and my BEFORE search didn't find anything which helped this pages case. Furthermore, the subject appears to be sending paid editors at the page to "improve" it, leaving it a mess of promo and fluff. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 02:50, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The article is pretty terrible: mostly a self-promotional mess with only a couple of references that aren’t related to the subject or their place of work. As for notability, I don’t think the subject meets WP:NPROF even with fellowship in the American College of Physicians and American College of Cardiology, and I could find no other sigcov.

Delete the highest cited articles where the author is either first or last author are reviews; the highest cited research article where he is a first author has 55 citations. I think this does not pass WP:NPROF#1; also the article is clearly promotional and would need to be rewritten. --hroest 21:52, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
