Udom Jokrob[edit]

A BLP sourced only to a permanently dead link. No indication of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC being met. My own Thai searches led me to Blog Gang, however, this is only a passing mention followed by an image caption. In addition, this seems to be WP:USERGENERATED so would not meet WP:RS standards anyway. There are more blog posts by the same user here and here that also mention Jokrob in passing but, in any case, even if this were an acceptable source, we would need the coverage to be significant and addressing Jokrob in detail, which isn't the case.

  • Delete: BLP, fails GNG and NBIO. Source in article is primary and dead, I searched for Udom Jokrob and อุดม จอกรบ, I tried Udom Chokrob thinking this might be an alt, but BEFORE showed nothing that meets WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. BLPs require strong sourcing.  // Timothy :: talk  22:56, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This was a 2021 keep, but the sourcing identified does not appear to meet WP:ORG level depth and independence required. Note, the reason it appears to be an A7 is CV, which was addressed. The issue is the lack of sourcing upon which to build an article. Star Mississippi 15:29, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are only two articles in this disambiguation. The disambiguation should be deleted per WP:ONEOTHER: If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is not needed—it is sufficient to use a hatnote on the primary topic article, pointing to the other article. (This means that readers looking for the second topic are spared the extra navigational step of going through the disambiguation page.) Toptanazikov (talk) 06:22, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contested prod. Appears to be a WP:MILL office building with no individual notability. Sources have been provided since prod but only confirms that it will have corporate clients and a restaurant, which is no different to countless other such premises in every city IMO. Smaller counterpart to 1 Atlantic Square (which does have media coverage due to height and tenancy so appears to meet WP:GNG), see no reason this smaller building cannot simply be mentioned in that article as part of the project.

  • KEEP - I base this on the Wikipedia:Good articles/Art and architecture. GA does not require notability, but has their own criteria: Well-written, no OR, Broad, Neutral, Stable, Illustrated . I'm just saying that if GA might accept this by its own review, then I don't feel comfortable deleting this fairly new article based on "no individual notability". That's a bit of opposite POVs here, and I find this article interesting. — Maile (talk) 01:28, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect for now. I saw this as a prod and didn't contest, it seems borderline G11 to me (not the most deletionist of editors), because the coverage is mainly primary and in the absence of indept secondary coverage, the depth of detail feels promotional. Would not object to a slender merge in the sense of retitling 1 Atlantic Square to include and namecheck no 2, but not including this depth of coverage based on primary sources. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:14, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to 1 Atlantic Square. Get the impression this is an advert with its lead including "flagship development" cited from a marketer of the office space and the citing of worlds (sic) most "prestigious" companies. Sources mainly PRIMARY or from connected parties and thus not independent. The GlasgowLive source is about both nos. 1 & 2 Atlantic Square, which lends support to the two being treated in one article. Doesn't seem independently notable on sourcing under GNG. The buildings are similar with their retained facade and construction; no need for a separate article for this one. Rupples (talk) 11:33, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I believe that Josh Yguado is the main subject of several articles (good independent sources) I've just added to the page. While I'm not sure that this article will expand beyond a stub format, I do see the subject's noteworthiness. The awards are usually notwithstanding, so not terrible not great that some award is there and it may be removed from the page. --VertyBerty (talk) 08:45, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Good attempt, but in my opinion, the sources that you have added here are not of WP:SIGCOV of the subject. Other than Bloomberg, which I don't have access to and therefore unable to make a proper evaluation (however, from the opening paragraph, I do not think there will be sigcov about the subject. do let me know if I am wrong), the rest are about JamCity or post-myspace business activities in general. Nothing specific about the subject. – robertsky (talk) 11:44, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Jam City (company) - Doesn't pass WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. The news story about him being named CEO seems to be the only significant thing written about him. The sources added by User:VertyBerty are not significant coverage in my opinion. --Mika1h (talk) 11:41, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild keep te subject's role as co-founder and CEO of Jam City, as well as an investor in Cloud9, establishes his significance in the tech and gaming industries. The depth of coverage in existing sources has been questioned; however, the criteria for notability require significant coverage, which reflects his impact, not exhaustive coverage. The potential for the article to be expanded with additional information over time, as the industries evolve, makes me think that this is the reason why there is no consensus for the page's removal. NiftyyyNofteeeee (talk) 13:42, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NFF which states that films which were not released, even if shooting had commenced, should generally not have their own article. There is no indication this production or it's cancellation was particularly notable, either at the time or with the passage of time. Contested PROD; no clear merit offered in a redirect.

  • Very strong keep. I deproDed the page (same nominator, see TP (indicating in my edit summary that given the state of the page and its content, even with no effort to look for further sources, a redirect should at least have been considered). I find both actions quite hasty to be honest (see page history). Most of all, this film has received considerable coverage. I had added some, some was on the page already, and plenty of other sources exist and are available in one click. As for the guideline referred to by the nominator and what it says about unfinished films, well, let's have a look: "Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines. Similarly, films produced in the past which were either not completed or not distributed should not have their own articles, unless their failure was notable per the guidelines." Number of independent reliable books extensively deal with the failure of this production (add Lorentz in the Google Books search and try....). -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 22:11, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mushy Yank: Thank you for your detailed rationale. Respectfully, at this moment I am not aligned with your position and refer back to WP:NFF which stipulates that the cancellation of the specific film would itself have to be notable to warrant an article. From my own searches of this, I could indeed see plenty of sources discussing that the film had undergone a period of shooting and that it did indeed, for at least a period of time, WP:EXIST. Whether that be backed up by 5 sources or 500 is inconsequential, as I have yet to determine a sufficient number to discuss this particular feature's cancellation specifically, by way of WP:SIGCOV. One of the citations offered, a book by Robert Ryan, notes: "after having gone way over budget with 90 days of shooting and nothing to show for the effort, RKO decided to shelve the unfinished film". The cancellation seems to be like it was simply a matter of costing too much, at a time when finances were stretched due to the matter of a world war. If you, or others, can find sufficient sources that cover the specifics of this film's cancellation, to a significant enough extent, that may help formulate the opinions of others, and indeed myself. Bungle (talk • contribs) 22:26, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your reply. Please take the time to read the sources in the page at least, if you don't have time to read all the other that are available online (again add Lorentz to the Google books search), it is not only a matter of money and the page clearly says so. Haven't you read the latest version before taking it to Afd? (the 5 minute time span between my last edit adding those sources and your nomination, would make me think that is the case, but you can take your time and read it now) There were various issues: for example Lorentz was unable to cope with the schedule and requirements of a commercial feature film, Ryan had doubts about Lorentz who had so far only filmed documentaries.... It's in the page and it's sourced. Sources do not only mention 90 days of shooting and financial issues! I'm leaving it at that for the moment, Best, -My, oh my!

Poorly sourced and highly advertorialized ("Mark was as happy discussing world politics with the likes of Jimmy Carter...as he was with encouraging his many close friends, all around the world") biography of an aviator with no strong or properly sourced indication of passing our notability criteria for aviators. The strongest attempt at a notability claim is that he had a role as a stunt flyer in a film, but that's sourced only to IMDb rather than any WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about that work -- and otherwise, the sourcing consists of a short blurb in which he's named only as the winner of a hamper in a contest, and a piece which is just an op-ed replying to points in his own earlier op-ed, neither of which are GNG builders.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a stronger notability claim, supported by much, much better sourcing, than this. Bearcat (talk) 21:54, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fails NCORP. Of the sources cited and other sources I could find through searches, none meet CORPDEPTH because they are routine news stories. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:16, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • You're potentially conflating two separate things here. NCORP provides guidelines on organization (commercial or otherwise), or any of its products and services which is why that sentence mentions "evaluation of a product" which would apply if this topic was a product. But it isn't, it is a commercial company so therefore the review of the product won't assist in establishing notability for the company. HighKing++ 20:00, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please take a look at WP:PRODUCTREV.

Here's what Canadian SME says about itself:
  • "With an aim to contribute to the development of Canada’s Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s), Cmarketing Inc is a potential marketing agency and a boutique business management company progressing rapidly in its scope. By acknowledging a firm reliance of the Canadian economy over its SMEs, the agency has resolved to launch a magazine, the pure focus of which will be the furtherance of Canadian SMEs, and to assist their progress with the scheduled token of enlightenment via the magazine’s pertinent content."
Here's what our notability guideline for companies says about interviews:
  • "A primary source is original material that is close to an event, and is often an account written by people who are directly involved. Primary sources cannot be used to establish notability. In a business setting, frequently encountered primary sources include:
    • "memoirs or interviews by executives"

Page length does not justify being anything but a small section on Carles Puigdemont and page subject does not establish notability or lasting impact. He was arrested on 23 September and freed without charge the next day, WP:NOTNEWS. This is not a seriously large case like the charges against Donald Trump. The Catalan Wikipedia article is long, but is mainly a turgid minute-by-minute of the filing of a legal case, which again is one which resulted in one night in jail and no charges. As for wider sources of lasting impact, the Catalan website Vila Web's tab on the case jumps from December 2021 when Vox tried to sue to keep Puigdemont in jail, to March 2023 when the stale case was officially closed. [1] The wider topic of the warrant against Puigdemont and the hypothetical legal basis for his home of Belgium or Italy to arrest and deport him is a subject for an enyclopedia, not this non-event Unknown Temptation (talk) 20:57, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond90 has a few sentences as does the Adelaide Now article linked above. Impetus Football also has a few articles on her. From the one I've linked just now, we have some non-routine bits of coverage on her such as Hodgson is a popular player amongst the Adelaide faithful. She is a skilful and tenacious fullback who is also capable of driving upfield and setting up goals. In the last match of the 2020/21 season she was thrust into an attacking role as The Reds needed to increase their goal difference. She responded with a sensational goal in front of a record crowd. There are quite a few more sentences written about her as well so I would say this just about scrapes GNG. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 10:04, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep per Spiderone. TarnishedPathtalk 02:35, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:BASIC which allows us to stitch together parts of different articles, even where Hodgson is not necessarily the main focus. She may not have been notable in the Wikipedia sense when this article was first created, but easily satisfies the basic criteria for notability now. Her main problem is that she gives so many interviews and is quoted a lot...so we need to look for objective coverage / analysis / facts outside of any direct quotes. But the good news is that more than enough secondary sources have now been added to the article which has been expanded significantly (per WP:HEY). Some of the best secondary sources include "A fine 50 for United captain", a feature article about Hodgson's achievement of 50 matches in The Advertiser in Adelaide, which has covered her very regularly over the years (helping her to satisfy the WP:SUSTAINED requirement), in addition to the Beyond90 and Impetus articles mentioned above, plus all the other pieces which discuss her as a person which are now cited in the article.

    WP:NBASIC: People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. Just to take one of the many articles that are fully devoted as interviews with Pikulska: Katarzyna Pikulska: Infection statistics are misleading:
    1. Pikulska's name is in the title of the article;
    2. Pikulska's photo heads the top of the article;
    3. Rzeczpospolita is one of Poland's two newspapers of record;
    4. the entire article is an interview with Pikulska, with the interviewer's questions each followed by Pikulska's opinions.
    @The Wolak, Piotrus, and Marcelus: In what sense is this April 2020 article on COVID-19 pandemic related issues not significantly presenting Pikulska as a sociopolitically relevant person in Poland for events prior to the November 2020 protests? Is Rzeczpospolita controlled by Pikulska (e.g. she funds it, she owns it - please provide sources)? The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the dominating socio-political issues in April 2020.
    @The Wolak: Do you still claim that Pikulska is not a main character of this Rzeczpospolita article?
    @Piotrus: Do you still claim that Pikulska is just given a passing mention in this article?
    Keep in mind that in an AfD, you are expected to look at the existing sources, and look for other sources. Boud (talk) 21:58, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. The interview is with her, not about her. It does little to estabilish her notability. She can have a Wikipedia article about her when independent, reliable sources cover her life and activities, not just ask her to speak about Polish medicine/politics/etc. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:53, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Well, that didn't work. I did look for sources just now. This source does verify it's a fictional city used in exam questions for Hong Kong highschoolers, and goes on at some length about different fictional elements of the city and which years they were made up. It might not be an independent source; I have no idea how their academic system works, but I feel like the host for that source is involved with the administration of the test in which "Heung Hsing" appears.
    This source indicates it also lends its name to some sort of educational programming; unclear if the topic is the same or if it's just using the same words. Chinese sources indicate that "Heung Shing"s native name is also shared by: a historical toponym mentioned in the Shuijing, near modern Yongcheng; a chain of hotels in Taiwan; a botanical garden in Suzhou. At least.
    It's not super clear to me whether this topic is an educational conceit with something of a broader currency, like Alice and Bob, Foobar, or Spherical cow; or something super niche, only of interest to highschoolers, highschool educators, and test designers.
    I was low key thinking initially that a merge into Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education might be appropriate, but I'm not sure where in the article would be a good spot for it. It has a lot of incoming mainspace links, but all of them seem to be via transclusion of Template:Education in Hong Kong (I definitely may have missed some; I'm pretty sleepy).

There are multiple reviews of her one book [4] [5] [6] [7]. But one book with a modest number of academic reviews is not enough for WP:AUTHOR for me (it would be a weak keep if we had the same number of reviews split over two authored books) and there seems to be nothing else.

  • comment.

    NBOOK is really just GNG in disguise. If a topic has multiple reliable independent sources published about it, then it is notable. GNG is a one-size-fits-all guideline with neither special consideration for topics which we might think notable but for which independent in-depth sourcing can be scarce (like major academic journals or societies) nor for topics which we might think routine but for which independent in-depth sourcing can be plentiful (like academic monographs). In this case, really the only throttle (without overthrowing GNG in favor of different notability thresholds for different topics) is whether some editor is interested enough to take the effort of making an article on the book. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:56, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think some of the logic of using students is that the minority group is very under represented in the Wikipedia space. Yes, students may need some corrections (simply because we do not have the experience as you all do) but I am certain after this lesson that's being learned, I would have learned a lot as a new editors. As well, most minority people just do not get the gigantic exposures as other groups. So in order for wikipedia to attempt to do it's part in closing the gap yes reliable regional publication is what the reach may be for the subject at this moment. Wikipedia realizes this and this is why they are reaching out to colleges to start to engage. I admit before this assignment, I always thought only professional prominent people created wikipedia pages. Now, I know I too can be a part of a diverse group teaching and adding to the big website full of data, SydtheSloth22 (talk) 03:03, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SydtheSloth22, I’m not sure if minority people are under-represented, but I do think some groups like this are under-represented. But let’s admit it, many groups are under-represented in the real world, so perhaps Wikipedia is just reflecting that?
Anyway, it doesn’t relate much to our discussion here, because those under-represented can still be notable, and the under-represention can be one of the reasons that makes one notable! --Dustfreeworld (talk) 18:42, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This article was created in 2019. I am a student learning about updating and creating wiki pages. I am removing the image and would like to uploaded after reviewing more wiki images video to ensure it is properly uploaded. The image is free to use but the uploading process is plain out confusing. Perhaps I need more training to understand all of the image uploading options. This article had merit before I made any changes to it. Dr. Okoro has had lots of media coverage on the work and accomplishments, she has earned. I am fine with the page reverting back from my edits. Her page should not be deleted.Dustfreeworld SandyGeorgia SydtheSloth22 (talk) 13:49, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SydtheSloth22 thanks for joining in; the best way to learn about Wikipedia is get actively engaged, as you're doing. We can discuss the image issues back at Talk:Melanie Harrison Okoro, so this page can stay focused on whether the subject meets Wikipedia's notability guideine. There's no need to worry about older versions of the article, as experienced editors know how to look back, and also how to look forward in terms of discovering whether third-party independent sources with more than a passing mention exist to demonstrate notability, even when those aren't yet in the article. I've responded to your image queries over on the article talk page. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:36, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

”... blogs from prominent scientists writing in their field of expertise may be usable when properly attributed. Nature Blogs, ScienceBlogs, and Discover blogs host many such experts, as do more specific portals such as the public outreach and service blogs at the Large Hadron Collider blogs or the more STEM policy oriented blog hosted by the American Physical Society.” --Dustfreeworld (talk) 19:23, 11 November 2023 (UTC) --Dustfreeworld (talk) 08:13, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
These (and the sources you've cited above), appear to be short bios or interviews, which isn't enough to establish notability. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:10, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SandyGeorgia, The Scientific American blog reference possibly works per WP:NEWSBLOG which makes an exception (with a caveat) for news organization' blogs:
  • "Some newspapers, magazines, and other news organizations host online columns they call blogs. These may be acceptable sources if the writers are professionals, but use them with caution because blogs may not be subject to the news organization's normal fact-checking process. If a news organization publishes an opinion piece in a blog, attribute the statement to the writer, e.g. 'Jane Smith wrote ...'"

Hi voorts, thanks for the reply. As I’m fairly new here, can you explain that more? As per WP:SIGCOV,
"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material --Dustfreeworld (talk) 02:01, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
One of the requirements for notability is that a source must be independent. The sources you've cited are either brief bios in the context of the subject being a contributor to or associated with a project or publication, brief mentions in top 10 lists, or they're interviews. Interviews do not generally establish notability. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:11, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation :)
I agree with you that sources associated with the subject are not suitable for establishing notability. I just listed whatever I found, thinking that some of those can be used as sources later. I still believe the sources #3, #4 and #5 I listed above and the Sci American one do establish notability. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 08:22, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All of those sources are interviews, which generally don't establish notability unless they're in very high quality sources. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:13, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the comment, but please see Wikipedia:Interviews#Notability:
“A multitude of interviews with a breadth of styles shows a wide range of attention being given to the subject and can be considered as evidence of notability. Elements of interviews include selecting the subject, contacting the subject, preparation of questions, and writing supplemental material such as a biography...
...interviews that show a depth of preparation, such as those that include a biography. An interview presented as investigative journalism of the sort we associate with 60 Minutes can be helpful. In these interviews, the interview material is often interspersed with the interviewer's own secondary analysis and thoughts.
...if the material the interviewer brought to the table is secondary and independent, contributes to the claim that the subject has met the requirements laid out in the general notability guideline.
If you aren't looking at a reputable publication, you need to consider whether the interview is really an advertisement written and paid for by a marketing campaign…” --Dustfreeworld (talk) 02:00, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The controversy (which accounts for most mentions of this blog in sources) is not itself notable, and is at best a minor side point in the player's bio article (it probably passes the WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE test).

Vanishingly small evidence of notability. Previously referenced to various fringe right-wing sources, tabloid gossip sites and non-RSes. After I asked on the talk page over a week ago for three solid RSes showing notability, a frequent editor tried to remove the single RS reference. On a WP:BEFORE, there doesn't appear to be anything in solid mainstream RSes that discusses this topic such as to show it meets WP:GNG or any specific notability guideline.

  • Delete Calling this a podcast is pretty much incorrect; it's more of a never-ending live stream and it seems these moments get picked out because...the show is six hours long and the guests are lethargic by the end and the regulars somehow call that a 'gotcha moment' to mock their invited guests. Just by its length, lack of topic clarity and and its guest pool made up of mostly unknowns, it can't easily hit WP:GNG because you have to be in that specific interest field and have the endurance to last six hours to call it notable, and very few are going to make that commitment to a show that can't even be bothered to stay on its topic of dating.

    2. Leor Galil in Chicago Reader [14] including:

      ... rapper Lucki Ecks released Son of Sam, an EP that moves further toward the hazy, narcotized soundscapes he’s toyed with throughout his short career. He takes an abrasive, experimental turn on “Jigga 98”....

    3. Chris Mench in Complex magazine [15] including:

      The majority of the tape is dark, with Eck$ spitting over hazy, haunting beats. It's certainly not destined for the radio, but his slurred, macabre style certainly has its appeal. At times, his voice can even sound more like another part of the beat than something totally distinct from it.

  • Keep - I've not really got the energy for another impassioned defence of one of my own articles, but that's probably just as well! Anyway, I am fairly sure he passes WP:NSPORT, especially in relation to cue sports. The article needs fleshing out, but how many others players who have been ranked inside the top 64, for example, have been found not to be notable? A fluke ranking event quarter-finalist I would understand, but by being ranked 50th, Flowerdew was an integral part (however rarely-mentioned in newspapers he may be) of the professional side of the sport in the mid-1990s. I would argue that how he gained his pro status is irrelevant in this case, because he did forge a career which made him worthy of note regardless. Of course, if the consensus is otherwise, I'll be happy to vote in favour of deletion in future discussions! I do feel it would be a shame were that to happen, though. Montgomery15 (talk) 14:20, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Montgomery15: The WP:NSPORT FAQ says that "The topic-specific notability guidelines described on this page do not replace the general notability guideline. They are intended only to stop an article from being quickly deleted when there is very strong reason to believe that significant, independent, non-routine, non-promotional secondary coverage from multiple reliable sources is available, given sufficient time to locate it. Wikipedia's standard for including an article about a given person is not based on whether or not they have attained certain achievements, but on whether or not the person has received appropriate coverage in reliable sources, in accordance with the general notability guideline." I've checked in the British Newspaper Archive as well as using a search engine, and not found any significant coverage. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:58, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Prob Draft - I'm satisfied that there are enough references in books to show that the player existed but not enough to verify the current content of the page. By that reasoning and WP:V the whole contents can/should be removed. I suspect there are snooker magazines that maybe have more coverage, but until we have verified content we can't say anything about him. JMWt (talk) 14:56, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. With no existing references and my own search showing nothing beyond results and WP:ROUTINE, I see no way to argue that this page meets WP:GNG. Aspirex (talk) 07:20, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify. It seems fairly probable to me that various snooker-related paper sources may have more and sufficient material about this subject, but it will take someone with a collection of, or ready access to, such periodicals to do the work, and this might not happen in a timely fashion. I don't think this has enough GNG sourcing to remain in mainspace, but I don't see any need to outright delete it when there's a fair chance of its improvement.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  17:22, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Before 1991, when the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association opened membership to anyone who paid a fee, it was likely that a new professional would get at least a paragraph in Snooker Scene; in the late 90s, the Benson and Hedges Snooker Yearbook would generally also have brief profiles on each player. The November 1990 Snooker Scene reported that there were 443 new snooker professionals; in a monthly magazine with only around 32 pages, obviously there was not going to be room to provide in-depth coverage of all of the new intake alongside all of the other snooker and billiards news and reports. Cue World had already been merged into Snooker Scene by that point, and from the issues of Pot Black I have from around that time, it seems unlikely that they would have given any more coverage than Snooker Scene, despite their higher page count. Similarly, as 401 professionals including Flowerdew lost their status at the end of the 1996-97 season, it was unlikely that all would receive much coverage at that point. The British Newspaper Archive is often a fruitful source for coverage of snooker players, especially from local/regional press, but I didn't find anything substantial there.

Mostly unreferenced, and notability not demonstrated. This was originally made live at Music of Versailles but in 2012 I moved it to the present title since it is nearly all about a particular set of suites by Bernard de Bury. However, that set is not the only "Premier livre de Pièces de Clavecin"; a Google search finds others than Bury's, by Jean-Philippe Rameau, François Couperin, Jean-François Dandrieu, Charles-Alexandre Jollage and Joseph-Nicholas-Pancrace Royer, so if this article is not deleted then it should be renamed with the suffix "(Bury)". This article states its source as the PhD thesis of Ruta Bloomfield (reviewed at doi:10.1017/S1478570616000129). Bloomfield previously had a bio article in Wikipedia, which was created by the same editor, both in Feb 2009. The bio was deleted in 2019 as non-notable per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruta Bloomfield. – Fayenatic London 13:24, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - A documented battle which was fought over a military base. The article (Wiki) was also mentioned by a media organization as well [17]. Also, an WP:OTHERLANGS argument (can’t be used alone) also helps supports my point, given this battle is in over 10 other Wiki-languages. Obviously, that argument can’t be used alone, but when media name the battle + mention the English Wiki article + translated into 11 other languages, one can’t just say it “isn’t” notable without providing good reasoning. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 04:29, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Documented", mentioned by media, and OTHERLANGS are not valid arguments. This article must meet WP:NEVENT (not GNG), and it doesn't, because it lacks depth and duration of coverage, and documented (sourced) lasting effects or historical significance. The sources are breaking news sources, which generally don't count for event notability. DFlhb (talk) 09:08, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am curious on why you said OTHERLANGS is “not valid” for an argument? My reasoning was clear without mentioning it and actually per WP:OTHERLANGS, A notable topic will often be covered by Wikipedia articles in many languages other than English. It is covered by several news articles and this Wikipedia article was mentioned by a news article. Anyway, after watching an article with 2 sentences pass AfD (version after the keep conensus) because it had several RS sources supporting it, a well-documented brief battle with at least 8 WP:RS sources, which was mentioned by a media outlet & has been translated into nearly a dozen other Wikipedia languages clearly passes the bar. Direct comparison should be avoided by itself per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but there is too many RS sources (my exact reasoning) mentioning the battle as well as several supporting facts for this case. My !vote will remain keep. WP:COALing out time. Peace y’all. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 09:30, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Additional comment - Based on the RS listed in the article it passes WP:GNG and the AfD nomination nor the additional !vote actually suggest deletion. Both are pertaining to merges. A look at the article talk page hints at 0 prior discussions occurring for a merge, so it appears WP:BEFORE wasn't followed and the AfD is being used incorrectly, when the nominator appears to be more or less requesting a merge, not deletion. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:26, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - An important battle, where Israeli forces were defeated and Hamas subsequently filmed dead Israelis for social media. It seems to be one of the more disasterious defeats of the IDF. It is also costumery for there to be articles on. Also there seem to be ample articles on subject.

Minor comic book location. As usual, we just have a plot summary and a list of comics and related media it appears in. No analysis, reception, etc. Refs are mostly comics themselves supplemented by a few comic book summaries (illustrated plot summaries for fans) like The DC Comics Encyclopedia. Fails WP:GNG.

  • It's not really that. It's that it doesn't seem to be true from article title at the top to non-functional GNIS link at the bottom. The National Map has a Kakeout Mountain at this location. And a 1960 Master Plan of the Borough of Kinnelon, New Jersey has Kakeout in its names, too; so there's serious doubt that this was ever true, including in the 1980s. Everything in this article seems to be unverifiable. Uncle G (talk) 18:49, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I did get into GNIS on this: it lists Kikeout as an invalid name, along with another. This is an area where the topos go way back, and interestingly, the oldest one say "Kakeout"; then the feature name disappears for a while, and when ti reappears, it is now "Kikeout" and stays so for the rest of the series.

  • Keep. Far from one event, George Washington visited Kikeout Mountain, there was a reservoir built here (Kikeout Reservoir) which resulted in quite a bit of coverage, in 1897 gold was allegedly found on Kikeout Mountain, and it goes on and on. There's plenty of coverage. While not required, it is highly advisable to check newspapers.com for US locations as part of WP:BEFORE. I have clipped a few of these, hopefully will find time to post some of them here, but please check for yourself!

  • Comment. this sheds some light on the name change. Jacona (talk) 12:14, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not for me, as I don't have access, and you haven't cited anything about the source to find it. The GNIS record for feature 877559 says "Kakeout Mountain" and dates it to 1979-09-08, which is before the supposed fuss about it being changed from "Kikeout" to "Kakeout" in 1986. So we've got a couple of journalists talking about a mountain and a road, and the actual 1960s borough plan, the National Map, and even the GNIS record to which this is sourced all saying "Kakeout" all along; which rather casts doubt on the reliability of the sources that say it was changed from "Kikeout" to "Kakeout", on which almost all of which this article content is based.

      I finally located the NorthJersey article using the Wayback Machine (which points to non-existent archives in several snapshots). It's very confusing, apparently mixing and matching letters to the editor in 1986 with a newsgroup post in 2005. But that sources the name change to the newsgroup post, and places it "after World War II". Google Groups doesn't turn up a newsgroup post, but there's a Rich Dean, erstwhile emergency services dispatcher (xe states) posting on Facebook, which is basically non-searchable.

      So we have an article, starting off at Special:Diff/645570523 with a name that isn't in the records from at least the 1960s onwards, and isn't on the National Map today, and we're basing most of this "controversy", and most of the article, on 1 letter to the editor of a local newspaper written by Albert G. Hotkins (whoever that is, NorthJersey doesn't say) decades after World War II. And Facebook posts.

      I think that we're woefully misinforming readers, here, with stuff that hasn't been verifiably true for 60 years, and 1 angry letter to the editor inviting people to join an apparently 1-person local pressure group in 1986.

After twenty years, there have been basically no reliable third-party-sources written about this webcomic. It was mentioned by Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards, but notability isn't inherited. There's an interview by ComixTalk, but that seems to be a blog. After twenty years, you'd think there would be some coverage in reliable sources, that when I google the name of the webcomic, I'd get some results beyond Reddit posts, this very Wiki page, and the TVTropes article, but there aren't any except decades-old sources of questionable usability mentioning the comic in WP:PASSING.

  • Delete I thought there might be two claims of notability in the lead paragraph, but upon further reading it turns out that "is a member of the Create a Comic Project" just means the comics were used in a "Free Public Library as an after-school program". And then "won a Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards" just means this won a web poll where "Winners of awards receive an individualized web banner". There is no significant coverage in reliable sources for any of this, and it is unbelievable that the highest achievement this has reached is "won a web banner in an online poll" and "was used in an after-school drawing program at a local library" and we have have articles on these things. I am in agreement with the editors above that this does not meet even the lowest standards and it is crazy to think, after some of the far better sourced articles I've seen deleted, that this article has existed for twenty years and three deletion discussions.

Very few refs on page for many years. Nothing much to suggest notability. Also apparently incorporates text from another encyclopedia, which doesn't seem good. JMWt (talk) 05:39, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • JMWt, see the assessment of tertiary sources in general at WP:TERTIARY and a discussion of the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition's reliability in particular at Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition#Public domain. Tertiary sources can be used to establish notability and they can be used with care as sources but they are definitely not preferred.
The Encyclopædia Britannica series has been around for two centuries and generally viewed as one of the best (if not the best) encyclopaedias
The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition is unreliable for the many things that have changed: aereoplanes, relativity, plastics, etc. For historical topics, the concern is that interpretations of history may have changed: Reconstruction after the American Civil War, the Boer War, etc. Also, archeology or the discovery of old texts: Dead Sea Scrolls, Norse colony in Newfoundland, etc.
I think in this case, we're pretty safe. Looking at the Wikisource copy: 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Blakesley, there's little interpretation done - basically a short factual article with no ideological bias. Blakesley died just 24 years earlier, so there weren't archaeological discoveries to be made. There's no science or technology. I think it's a solid ref for this particular article.
I don't find this article especially interesting or compelling but it is encyclopaedic. Blakely was notable in 1911 and by our rules, that means he still is today.
--A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 06:26, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are two issues. First if we can use encyclopedia for notability, second if we can incorporate text.
On the first I disagree that we can assume that Britannia 1911 uses the same criteria of notability as we do. At the time it was focussed on minor British personalities and does not necessarily give the sibstantial coverage we need.
But even if we do accept it as a reliable source to show notability, we need at least 2 others.
On the second issue, I do not believe we should be "incorporating text" from other encyclopedia even if it is from 1911. JMWt (talk) 06:33, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Looking at Google Books, it looks like Blakesley was frequently quoted back in the day: [42] That page of search results doesn't establish notability but it does indicate that Blakesley was a 19th century "influencer".

He wrote letters to newspapers. If that is the criteria for notability, there are hundreds perhaps thousands of others who could be included on the same rationale. JMWt (talk) 06:38, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I think we can presume that any article in the 1911 can have an article here. It's no strecth to imagine that there is a second reliable source about him somewhere. In addition, deans are generally (but not necessarily) notable - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Wall (priest), for example, and the Dean of Lincoln article: we have an article on every Dean since 1722.

This radio station was silent even before it shut down, no evidence online that it even existed other than FCC filings DirtyHarry991 (talk) 04:53, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: A quick search of records show this station was off the air more than it was on. It's original license to cover is listed as 11/28/2006, it went silent a day later. I can't say for certain if it ever launched. It supposedly resumed operations on 05/31/2007 only to fall silent again on 03/17/2008. This pattern of silent for months, on for a few days, then silent again would repeat over and over and over until 07/09/2015 when when it's final license to cover was requested to be cancelled, that took place on 07/13/2015. There is a Special Temporary Authority filed in 2016, but it was never acted upon by the FCC. The callsign and license were officially cancelled on 07/13/2015, not in 2016 or 2018 as the article states.

Beyond this, I can find nothing regarding the station outside of Wikipedia mirrors and FCC documents. Nothing on Golden Age Communications either. The addresses for the station, in FCC documents, all track back to residental homes. In short, I don't think this station ever existed outside of paper. Delete per GNG and former NMEDIA rules, while didn't allow for this kind of page in the first place. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:59, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The apparent July 2015 dating for the license cancellation that might appear in certain FCC searches appears to be little more than a quirk in FCC's CDBS database with regard to reflecting these cancellations; that was actually when a frequency change from 93.5 to 107.9 was licensed. The station itself has its "license cancelled" status dated June 28, 2018. The owners (theoretically) pulled the plug for financial reasons in September 2016 (this is the aforementioned STA request), the FCC informed the station in May 2018 it was on the verge of losing its license for not resuming broadcasts within a year, and a lack of response led to the license being canceled that June.)

@Wcquidditch: Thanks for the corrections. When the FCC switched from CDBS (the old filing system) to LMS (the new one), things got lost, messed up, etc. Since that's probably what happened there. Again, thanks for the correction. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 17:56, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: This is definitely a leftover article from the days when we were so lax on notability for broadcast stations that we were creating stubs on pretty much any licensed facility, regardless of whether there was anything else we could even verifiably say. The GNG requires much more significant coverage than could possibly be provided by FCC records, of course, and even the NMEDIA essay's old overpresumption of notability still required reliable sources (though again, enforcement of that was not particularly stringent for too long).

  • Keep. The implicit deletion reason here is WP:DEL-REASON#8, which is to say that this article's subject fail[s] to meet the relevant notability guideline (emphasis mine). In this case, we have a very simple set of facts: this is very clearly a geographical entity, and the relevant SNG is WP:GEOLAND. What we have here is quite simply a legally recognized populated place, so the relevant notability criterion is met, and there is no good policy basis for deletion that has been presented. That there is news about events that have happened here (for example, coverage of a murder in the town [46], [47], [48], [49]) is secondary to the fact that the relevant notability criterion is met.
    Additionally, the claim that there's no significant coverage of this town seems a bit like a stretch. Even with my extremely limited knowledge of Arabic, I was able to find a digital source covering road paving in the town—I'm fairly confident that an individual with better understanding of the local language/culture and local print sources would be able to build this article out. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:17, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I expanded this article in response to a request through the WP North Carolina. The nominator's complaint that the article was largely based on one source and needs additional sources has been addressed. It has now received a C-class rating from an independent editor. Allen was important in the early years of the state’s public education systems. He founded two schools (one which survives today) and was the superintendent of five school systems in North and South Carolina. He also authored textbooks, including one that was used in North Carolina for more than forty years. Notability is proved by three feature-length newspaper articles written when he was alive; these sources are not from his local newspaper but from the Asheville Citizen-Times which was/is the largest circulating newspaper in the western half of the state. Other significant coverage is an article in the Dictionary of North Carolina Biography, published by UNC Press. His death was announced in newspapers across the state; two obituaries are sources, including a lengthy one that was published in the news section and another from a leading newspaper in eastern NC. Of these six sources, five meet WP:GNG as being reliable, secondary, significant coverage, and independent of the subject. In addition, these and other sources fulfill the requirements of WP:NSUSTAINED. A quick scan shows that there are more sources available, including book reviews and details of his work in education. WP:NEXIST instructs to keep articles when sources exist for potential expansion. Rublamb (talk) 15:43, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Long article for minority theory which never saw any wide support. I don't believe a version of this article is salvageable due to how widely rejected the theory is and the fact that the theory is only being advanced by a single author. Fails WP:NOTABILITY as a standalone article, though likely warrants mentioning in Theo Vennemann's article. Essentially this is an entire article dedicated to a single rejected theory by a single author without any mainstream support. Warrenmck (talk) 00:45, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • The problem with this nomination rationale is that since the last time someone argued this at AFD in 2008, and it was pointed out that there were people independent of the creator writing about it, even if only to reject it and explain why, the world has only gained more experts covering the subject. 2 years after the AFD discussion Paul Roberge (professor of Germanic languages and professor of linguistics) gave it a detailed write-up, explaining the hypothesis and then how xe thought it was flawed, in Roberge 2010, p. 408–409, for example. 1 year after the AFD discussion Marc Pierce (professor of Germanic linguistics) did a assuming-that-the-hypothesis-is-true-does-it-explain-anything paper in Pierce 2009, for another example.

    It isn't becoming less covered in-depth by third parties with credentials in the field, as the years go by.

  • My concern with this line of reasoning is the underlying theory itself is functionally static; there's no wider acceptance or development. Occasionally somoene points to it to criticize it, but WP:NOTABILITY would arguably require more than two (!) paragraphs in a text about the topic from a mainstream perspective saying "this theory exists and doesn't have wide support", which is about the sum of the mention in "Contact and the History of Germanic Languages". In fact, the mention there seems to be only to highlight that this (potential substrate) problem has existed for a while and has been tackled in several ways, by highlighting one novel approach, rather than discussing it with any serious depth. I think the suggestion below, about a possible redirect/merge to Theo Vennemann, makes more sense than an article itself. Warrenmck (talk) 23:21, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: WP:ATD would be a redirect/merge to its progenitor Theo Vennemann. Curbon7 (talk) 21:21, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Potential keep -- Sometimes it is useful to have an article on a subject such as this even if the consensus is that it is wrong. This means that the argument on the subject are available for the uninitiated to read. Such an article needs to end by explaining the arguments for the consensus view that the theory is wrong. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I am bit torn here. The Insular Celtic part of Vennemann's Atlantic proposal is nothing new, as the article also states. Speculations about a Semitic substratum in Insular Celtic predate Vennemann's project of trying to relate the unfamiliar (potential traces of pre-IE languages in specific branches of IE) to the familar (attested language families, thus completely ignoring the likely fact that pre-IE Europe was home to lost language families). These earlier speculations make up a topic that is clearly notable with WP:SIGCOV (for a review see e.g. this article[50]). AFAICS, only the article Atlantic (Semitic) languages hosts at least some information about this notable topic.
OTOH, the combination of the Semitic substratum hypothesis for Insular Celtic with the assumption that "un"-IE elements in Germanic languages go back to the same substratum, that's clearly a one-scholar project that has gained much less scholarly attention than the "classic" Semitic substratum hypothesis, and also less attention than his "Vasconic" hypothesis. Vennemann's work is notable as a package, but his "Atlantic languages" aren't. So I am inclined to propose to merge the Atlantic hypothesis to Theo Vennemann#Theories, and to incubate the notable parts (about Morris-Jones and Pokorny) somewhere for a future article Insular Celtic substrate hypothesis. –Austronesier (talk) 17:40, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A series of game score articles that were mostly unreferenced. Some that do have sources, like the 2008 one, cited "Sligo Champion (Summer/Autumn 2008)" and "Sligo Weekender (Summer/Autumn 2008)", without other identifying details for newspaper sources (dates, pages, etc.). The 1996 one cited two news articles about manager appointment, none of which talked about the scores in the 1996 games. I could not find any online sources confirming these stats, at least not the ones that don't source back to these Wikipedia articles.

Relisting comment: With a bundled nomination like this, we need to hear from more editors, ideally some who are experienced with nominations like this one.

  • Delete: Doesn't meet anything at WP:NSPORT or WP:NEVENT, and coverage on newspapers at newspapers.com seems limited to routine match results. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 18:29, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Unless a one of its ~22,000 residents dedicates the time to recover those hardcopies, expansion will likely remain unviable. Extending ARandomName123's concern, any nearby coverage would be unlikely to significantly cover this sports event. XxTechnicianxX (talk) 18:00, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was soft delete‎. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Liz Read! Talk! 01:16, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dying while trying to qualify for the Indy 500 is not enough to satisfy WP:BIO and Wikipedia is WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Not sure if this is worth a redirect/merge to 1949 Indianapolis 500. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:24, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
