Timeline of three tallest structures in the world

Where to start. Unsourced since the turn of the decade and so impossible to check. The tallest structure is interesting but the second? The third? And if that why not the fourth or fifth?

The lengthy inclusion criterion is largely arbitrary, and is presumably editorial whim as there’s no source for it, making the lists subjective even if accurate. Accuracy is a particular problem the further back you go as it is presumably based on those still standing that can be measured.

And the formatting is badly broken. The laptop I am typing this on has a 1280 pixel wide screen but still cannot fit most of the third column in the top set. The combination of small blue text on saturated colours renders it at times unreadable. This can probably be improved but I’m not sure it can be fixed.

  • Comment. The inclusion criteria certainly do seem a bit arbitrary. I found this article at Smithsonian magazine, but it doesn't really give specifics, and it mostly just highlights how inclusion criteria can vary across groups that track these things. According to them, one prominent group doesn't even count TV/radio towers at all. As far as actual citations for the content, that's even more difficult. I assume that it's out there, but I'm not finding it in my quick-and-dirty searches. Most hits seem restricted to "it was at one point the tallest structure in the world" without giving any dates or specifics. So, I'm not really sure what to say. I guess it could just be deleted, but I suspect that a dedicated trivia fan could probably dig up a few sources. I'll wait to see if any do.

  • Delete. There is really no point in keeping this article. The topic hasn't been covered by reliable sources, so by necessity the creator put it together on his own. As others have pointed out before, the choice of the "top 3" structures and not the top 4, 5, 6, 7, etc. is quite arbitrary. By this logic, we could create an article on every single imaginable topic, which would be quite silly ( Timeline of the lives of the top 4 oldest people, for example.) The important topic, List of tallest structures in the world, is already covered and the structures' individual timelines should also be discussed in their respective articles. As mentioned by nom, the article is also very poorly formatted and difficult to even understand as a result. -- Biblio worm 19:22, 18 October 2015 (UTC) reply

However, if you search under his name in Bulgarian (Кирил Манолов), you can find quite a lot in the Bulgarian press, including a big feature on him here in Vesti, a television interview here on Bulgarian National Television, and another big feature on him here in Trud. See also coverage of his performances in the title role of Falstaff in the Spanish, Italian, and Hungarian press here. Also reviews of his performances in leading roles in the German press, e.g. here and here (there are more). He has also won at least two major singing prizes.

  • Delete - I realized that I gave my vote in haste, and mostly because of the fact that the nominator tagged many "long living" humans citing WP:NOTDIR. Taking into account the notability claimed in the article, as well as Wikipedia's policies, I believe that this person does pass WP:GNG and WP:BASIC (perhaps WP:ANYBIO if the person won an award?), but this article also falls under WP:1E, in that this person (had she died at an average age) would have otherwise not been notable at all. All of the sources provided in the article, as well as other sources I found, only mention this person's death. As pointed out by Ricky81682, AfD's in the past have come to a consensus to delete articles of people just like this one. Per WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, this person is notable. But, WP:1E is meant to be a check against people who pass the " notable test". Instead of each long-living person having their own article, they could instead be mentioned in an article regarding long-living persons. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 22:52, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Oshwah, on this reasoning, shouldn't all of the thousands of articles on athletes such as Alan Simpson (athlete)—notable only for an event—be deleted? -- I am One of Many ( talk) 23:52, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I am One of Many - I will make the assumption that the person you mentioned only has sources related to the event mentioned in the article. I think that your argument is completely valid, and it helps emphasize my underlying concerns: the WP:1E guideline, and exactly what defines highly significant events, is ambiguous and not 100% clear. With such ambiguity and the lack of a clear definition, one (for example) could argue that Presidential assassinations or high profile killings aren't highly significant in their culture or mind. There goes David Chapman, John Wilkes Booth, Timothy McVeigh, and Lee Harvey Oswald! Of course, we know that a Presidential assassination clearly doesn't fall under WP:1E per being a highly significant event (I was just simply using this as an example), but it asserts my point - the ambiguity of WP:1E and lack of clear definitions and details opens the door for inconsistent article deletions and closures, as well as the possibility of miss-translations between one person and another. Precedents absolutely should not be the only method that is available to use as an appropriate reference behind AfD vote discussion, and I feel that the problems with WP:1E mentioned have been contributing to the need to do just that - resort explicitly to old AfD's in the past. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 00:10, 17 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Update: After getting some preliminary input and opinions from other editors, I've decided to draft a proposed change to WP:1E and expand the guideline. It will seek to define highly significant events compared to events that are not, as well as provide a list of standards that can be used in determining events as highly significant event. After the draft is finished, I'll run it by RFC. Also, see this Afd regarding a similar article currently nominated; editors in rebuttal have responded with very strong arguments (IMO). I'm considering whether or not to change my vote back to "Keep". ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 06:00, 17 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I've changed my vote back to Keep. See this edit with my explanation. Sorry for all of the redacting. I found the essay that I was missing knowledge of, and I'm 100% back on board now :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 14:11, 17 October 2015 (UTC) reply

*Keep By this point, Canadian Paul should be laughed out of Wikipedia for attempting to nominate someone who's the 6th oldest person in history. Anyone this desperate to prove a point needs to take some time off, as they have successfully embarrassed themselves to the point that the only thing they could do that is more embarrassing would be nominating Shigechiyo Izumi or Jeanne Calment for deletion.

  • Keep - Obviously notable person with significant sources and coverage to easily pass WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO and WP:BASIC (and I didn't even have to dig). The nominator of this ticket cited WP:NOTDIR as the main reason for listing this article for WP:AFD. There are no directories in this article whatsoever. Timtrent - I highly recommend that you brush up on WP:NOT and what the definition of a directory is. Directories are stand-alone lists of items that aren't associated with or significantly contribute to a Wikipedia topic or subject, such as a list of employee names and their phone number extensions under the organization's article, a syllabus or agenda of items for a concert, programming guides for a radio station, yellow pages or white pages - those are examples of directories. This article meets all notability criterion and does not qualify for deletion under AFD. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 23:36, 15 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I redacted this vote and changed to Delete. However, after taking additional time to find and read Wikipedia:What_is_one_event, I believe that the person does not fall into WP:1E. Specifically, noting that reliable sources cover her prolonged life with coverage on her 114th birthday, and so on. These constitute as separate events in her longevity, which is notable within itself. Therefore, I am officially reverting back to my original vote, and believe that the article should be kept. I apologize for all of the redaction; I'm just happy that I found that essay, which helped to clarify my assumptions regarding WP:1E and articles regarding people who lived an above-average life span. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 13:59, 17 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Notice that EVERY other person in this discussion - including editors uninvolved in this project - can clearly see that 1. Being the oldest person in the world is a notable accolade, and 2. The coverage in reliable sources is significant, and therefore this article should be kept. Citing a previous AfD to argue that this person isn't notable and that this one should be deleted is ridiculous (Koto Okubo wasn't even the world's oldest person and was unusual in that she didn't get covered widely in the media). -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 22:28, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Except it was different when it was Okubo as the oldest woman. Is the rule the oldest person, man or woman at that time? Therefore only the people at Template:Oldest people? I don't see the consensus for that from the other discussions. This feels like a complete one-off and I can't figure out why. And no, I'm not citing the prior one to reject this article per se; I'm saying that all the comments here that "Oldest woman ever = automatic keep" are quite odd and differ from all the prior discussions about this category of people. Most of Template:Oldest people is not written and as I noted, the depth of coverage here is largely obituaries which basically is routine coverage for most people. Not everyone who has a obituary is notable enough for inclusion so I'd need something more. All these AFDs are going wild with a ton of keeps or a ton of deletes (or just my delete and a ton of keeps) for some reason and we haven't seen to have figured out the middle ground yet and to me, "Oldest person ever" isn't it. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 04:09, 17 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I'd just like to note for the record that 8 out of the 14 references listed at the bottom of the article were written before the subject had died. So to describe the coverage as "largely obituaries" is innacurate. AtHomeIn神戸 ( talk) 00:46, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - I took some extra time to evaluate Ricky81682 argument with precedence and WP:1E's relevancy with this nomination. In short, I agree with his argument and I am changing my vote. Taking into account the notability claimed in the article, as well as Wikipedia's policies, I believe that this person does pass WP:GNG and WP:BASIC (perhaps WP:ANYBIO if the person won an award?), but this article also falls under WP:1E, in that this person (had she died at an average age) would have otherwise not been notable at all. All of the sources provided in the article, as well as other sources I found, only mention this person's death.

I'm not sure I understand your logic. It's like saying "If Tiger Woods wasn't a golfer, he wouldn't be notable, so he shouldn't have an article". The whole point is that she didn't die at a young age, and that's why she's notable. Being extremely aged isn't one event any more than being a golfer is; it's an intrinsic part of the person. The amount of coverage that the world's oldest people receive in the news is evidence that the oldest people in the world are notable. Furthermore, it's not true to say that AfD's in the past have deleted articles like this. World's oldest people titleholders are typically considered notable enough for an article. (P.s. I know I've posted a similar message elsewhere in response to a similar comment, but not everyone will have seen that one). -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 23:37, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep A myriad of sources from different parts of the world (such as Great-Britain [13], Brazil [14], and Japan [15], for instance) have reported on this woman, most notably during the time when she was the world's oldest person - as the three previously cited sources all confirm.

  • Keep A woman who lives to be 117 is notable, end of story. I think the problem with many of the recent longevity based Afd's (of which there have been a lot, I can hardly keep up) is that the nominator's are not interested and cannot understand how anyone else could be interested in this topic. I'm not interested in footballers, but I understand their articles serve a purpose. I also don't understand the nominator's point that "Wikipedia is not a directory of longest living people" - agreed 100%, but it's also not a directory of footballers, Members of Parliament, ice hockey players, beauty pageant winners, Olympic cyclists etc. If you're going to apply the same standards to all of these categories, then you're going to have a busy week.

  • Delete This person definitely belongs on the lists where she appears (although five lists on this topic, as indicated under the "See also" heading, does seem a bit excessive.) But there's nothing in this article that's particularly notable. Simply living a long time is not notable as that term is defined on Wikipedia; the only coverage in reliable sources is news items about successive birthdays and an obit. WP:NOPAGE. Also, nearly half of the article is filled with either information about her non-notable relatives and their ages or information about other "title-holders" and which "record-setters" succeeded which for each mythical "title". This is the stuff of trivia contests and hobbyist websites, not an encyclopedia. Human longevity is an important, encyclopedic topic. But not every long-lived person is notable simply because of their long life. David in DC ( talk) 15:26, 15 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Being the oldest person in a country of 60 million, one of the oldest people ever, and the last subject of Queen Victoria is not notable? And you're concerned about the lack of sourcing? Oh well yeah, I suppose if you just ignore all the reliable sources she was covered in. This kind of attitude ("people can't be notable for longevity and I don't care what you say la la la") is typical of many involved in the WP:BATTLEGROUND on longevity-related articles. -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 22:40, 15 October 2015 (UTC) — Ollie231213 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

  • Keep this one. Unlike the other supercentenarians nominated at the same time, this individual was, for a time, the world's oldest living man. That's a far more credible claim to notability than (from some of the other nominated articles) the oldest living person in California, the oldest Irish-born person, or even the oldest Jewish person. The latter are all, at least arguably, trivial intersections. But there is a unique oldest living man at any given time and, presuming there is third-party coverage sufficient to provide sourcing, those record-holders likely do have an inherent claim to notability.

@ Oshwah: Don't give them too much credence though. Consensus can change and with the small number of users at AFD nowadays, consensus can swing wildly article to article for whatever reason. I just bring those up because the nominator here really didn't put much effort in and the issues I'm looking at have been discussed. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 04:38, 17 October 2015 (UTC) reply
1. Koto Okubo was never the oldest person in the world, only the world's oldest woman.
2. She remained anonymous until age 114 and was not covered widely in the media, so there wasn't much to write a biography about. That was the bigger reason to delete her article. But clearly, if a world's oldest person titleholder DOES get covered in the media, the wider community clearly does think that they're notable. See here.
3. That Goldie Steinberg is the "oldest verified Jewish person ever" is not really an issue of "trivia". Notice that in a large number of reliable sources, she was reported on because she was the "oldest Jew". Remember that Wikipedia is supposed to reflect outside sources... and the media clearly think that this is notable. So do I. -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 23:01, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reply
In contrast, Steinberg was the sixth oldest person. As to sourcing, WP:N says we look at the reliable sources that exist to determine notability. The lack of coverage is evidence of her lack of notability, as opposed to asserting a prior that she is notable and the lack of evidence is is why her biography is lacking. The fact that a titleholder didn't get covered unless it's a bunch of obituaries at the time of his or her death further convinces me that this coverage is WP:ROUTINE coverage, more like a WP:BLP1E situation and not evidence of notability. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 04:38, 17 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Being the sixth oldest person is not what she is primarily notable for. She's most notable for being the oldest Jewish person ever, as determined by the reliable news sources that have reported her as "the oldest Jewish person ever". Furthermore, your reasoning regarding the Koto Okubo AfD does not make sense. Why should, in theory, one particular world's oldest person be less notable than another? They both held the same title. And the fact that the W.O.P titleholder usually gets covered in the media suggests that being the world's oldest person is notable. That's why I'm in favour of saying that all such titleholders pass WP:GNG, in the same way that it's often decided on Wikipedia that "every member of parliament is notable enough for an article" and "every PGA tour golfer is notable enough". The only reason not to have an article would be the odd case like Koto Okubo where she wasn't as widely covered and as such, there aren't many details to write an article about. -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 15:21, 17 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Then forgetting Okubo then, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Augustine Tessier was closed with a person who was (1) the oldest living person; (2) the oldest living woman; (3) the oldest Frenchwoman ever and (4) the oldest nun and none of those facts made her automatically notable enough. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 09:15, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
As Tessier wasn't recognised as the WOP at the time due to Izumi's claim; had people known about him not being the age he claimed to be at the time, there would have been a (large) probability for Mrs. Tessier to have received more media coverage (such as Izumi received). Using Tessier as an example is clearly taking issues out of their context in this case. Fiskje88 ( talk) 14:15, 22 October 2015 (UTC) reply

I'm not convinced that WP:1E should trumps WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, but in this case there are a couple of reasons that make this dubious. First, a lifespan is not an event. It is the length of a lifespan that is notable, not any particular point in time. Second, she is the oldest verified Jewish person. If we were to call a lifespan an event, then according to WP:1E: "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." For many, being the oldest Jew is a highly significant event. So, I think you had a stronger argument for your original keep. -- I am One of Many ( talk) 23:08, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I'm not sure I understand your logic. It's like saying "If Tiger Woods wasn't a golfer, he wouldn't be notable, so he shouldn't have an article". The whole point is that she didn't die at a young age, and that's why she's notable. Being extremely aged isn't one event any more than being a golfer is; it's an intrinsic part of the person. The amount of coverage that the world's oldest people receive in the news is evidence that the oldest people in the world are notable. Look at all these reports on Goldie Steinberg while she was still alive. [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 23:23, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Hi, I am One of Many and Ollie231213. Thanks for responding to my vote change. To be honest, I'm very "on the fence" with my redaction. I think that both of your arguments in rebuttal are absolutely strong and enough for me to (wow... lol) consider redacting... my redaction... as stupid as this sounds (haha). My tipping point right now is WP:1E; I think that there are issues with ambiguity and lack of clarity in WP:1E, and that this lack of clarity is allowing AfDs to close inconsistently as well as overly-wide interpretations to occur. I think that you're right; the cause for notability (longevity) isn't an "event". I just see a big problem when editors are able to cite old AfD's with articles in identical areas that resulted different closures. Seeing the older AfDs that resulted in deletion of similar articles (people who loved a long time) is what contributed to my vote change. Expansion and clarity to this guideline is needed, and will help clearly define two very important terms:
  • What is an event, and
  • What is highly significant.

  • Move to Draft:Dominga Velasco and the page a redirect. Keep In response to EEng, we shouldn't go on "there's possible sources so we should wait" as that excuse could fly anywhere. Talk:Dominga Velasco has some interesting mentions that indicate that she may be independently notable, with her longevity being a secondary concern. Allegedly there's a Velasco building in Oakland named after her (I can't find any evidence of that searching). However, here is a link (not a reliable source) about a "Sigame" sculpture in Oakland about the pioneering women of Oakland which includes "Dominga Velasco "Domingita" 1901– Pioneer of the Mexican-American movement in Oakland", i.e. her.

The discussion noted above has clear WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS issues which should not be brought here. In addition to the AfD noted above though, it also notes this AfD and this one which support the notion that there is clear consensus above and beyond the guidelines that non-fully professional clubs do not need their own season articles unless they can be supported by WP:GNG on an article-by-article basis.

And some of the sources used are Digital Magazines and Newspapers that cover events in the Mar del Plata area, like Ajo Digital, EntreArte and Butaca 22. Though it doesn't seem much compared to groups and collectives from bigger cities around the world for one in Mar del Plata, they are actually quite known within the artist's community. If the issue arises from the need of more reliable sources like newspapers, the local newspaper doesn't upload all the articles, but I can get the dates when the articles about them where published to reference. So, does the article need more important references? Acrata 08:45, 4 October 2015 (UTC)AcrataAcrata 08:45, 4 October 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acrata ( talk • contribs)

Reply Thanks for the information Sionk. I also want to ask, if in an event people from other cities and countries participate, does their involvement not make the event known enough even if it moves in the independent artist community? I'm asking as one of the references is from the Uruguayan Book Fair and they have spread to the city of La Plata where a similar event takes placeAcrata 08:06, 5 October 2015 (UTC)AcrataAcrata 08:06, 5 October 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acrata ( talk • contribs) reply

This is a recently created article, published by Mularam2014 ( talk · contribs) on 7 September 2015‎.

  • Comment. It appears none of the listed buildings are notable (we barely have enough entries in Category:Buildings and structures in Ranchi to have a completely general "list of buildings and structures in Ranchi", period), and so we'd at least expect some measure of the list topic itself ("tallest buildings in Ranchi") being notable and thus satisfying WP:LISTN. Otherwise I'm failing to see the informational value, and I think we (correctly) tend to delete "tallest buildings" lists under these circumstances. postdlf ( talk) 01:40, 6 October 2015 (UTC) reply

    • If we have to compile this data ourselves because no secondary source ever has, and if we have to dig through public archives to locate the data in the first place, then I can't see how this is a topic we should be covering. And even though we can compare heights to tell that one building is taller than another, we'd have to make our own judgments about whether our research has been comprehensive enough (and that we are comparing the right figures from building to building), which would slide this into WP:OR. postdlf ( talk) 16:18, 14 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment the HuffPo piece I found wasn't about the book, just thought I'd mention that. Primefac ( talk) 15:24, 10 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. The only criterion of WP:NBOOK this book has a chance of meeting is criterion one. It requires that the book be the subject of two or more non-trivial published works independent of the book. At first glance, we have four sources: the Huffington Post article, the footnote, the Calgary Herald article, and the academic review from persee.fr. However, Primefac said he made a mistake and that the Huffington Post article didn't really exist after all, so that can be disregarded. The "article" from the Calgary Herald is actually not about the book, but rather about the author (it only mentioned the book once). That leaves us with the academic review and the footnote. But a footnote can't really be called a non-trivial work; it's more of a passing mention. We're left with only the academic review, which is not enough to meet the book notability criteria (it requires two non-trivial independent sources). Therefore, I think the justification for keeping this article is quite weak. -- Biblio worm 16:10, 10 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • @ Tokyogirl79: Where? -- Biblio worm 15:21, 14 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • @ Biblioworm: The Calgary Herald and Books in Canada. They came up when I searched via my college's databases, although I was able to find a copy of the BIL article that didn't require access. Both are fairly major outlets (or was, in the case of BIC), so they'd qualify as RS. That leaves us with three reviews, which would show notability, but I'd like to be able to find things that could flesh the whole article out as a whole. I'm going to drop a note at WP:CANADA and see if anyone there has read the book and could use the book to flesh out the article more. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:39, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • So reliable reviews aren't what is required to pass the software notability bar anymore, what's next? Only software that has been used to reach the Moon will be notable?

  • Keep While I don't given much credence to the Wikipedia:Notability_(software) essay, determining which software is notable is a tricky and subjective matter (as nearly all non-person,non-book notability discussion are). To suggest that "computer" books or magazines establish notability doesn't make sense in this context (as it would in the case of history or rare birds), so we're left to look at whether multiple credible sources are writing editorial and/or informative content on the subject. It's easy to cast aside software reviews, but they're presently the means by which nearly all modern software is discussed in an objective manner (unless the Wikipedia list of software is to stop in 1999). Older, less-noteworthy software that made it in with the "Wiki land rush" must not crowd out software that is more recent and noteworthy. Queries for drync show extensive writing on it by a number of sources with a style and substance that satisfy WP:Verifiability, WP:Reliable Sources, and WP:Wikipedia is not. Any investigation should certainly take its course and any misconduct be dealt with, but that would not seem to bear on a deletion request at this time.-- 69.204.153.39 ( talk) 13:58, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply

This page has numerous issues; I would like for the community at large to give their opinion as to whether or not it should be kept. I believe it was already deleted in the past, but I am not entirely sure of this. Rambunctious Racoon ( talk) 05:11, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: This was deleted via WP:A7 on 21 August 2015, by Sphilbrick. Just by a glance I'm not entirely sure if this really expands on Modern paganism. The idea of this is already somewhat covered with this portion:
The term neopagan provides a means of distinguishing between historical pagans of ancient cultures and the adherents of modern religious movements. This category of religions includes syncretic or eclectic approaches like Wicca, Neo-druidism, and neoshamanism at one end of the spectrum, as well as culturally specific traditions, such as the many varieties of polytheistic reconstructionism, at the other. However, some reconstructionists reject the term neopagan because they wish to set their historically oriented approach apart from generic neopagan eclecticism. Scholarly writers often prefer the term contemporary paganism to cover all new polytheistic religious movements, a usage favoured by The Pomegranate: The International Journal of Pagan Studies, the leading peer-reviewed journal in the field.
I suppose that this could probably be redirected to the article on modern paganism. It's slightly a neologism in this specific format, but the above section does show that the term "eclectic" has been used to describe modern paganism so it'd likely be a reasonable redirect. I'm going to perform a little more research before making a final decision, though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:36, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • It looks like it's considered to be both separate and part of modern paganism depending on who you read. Some classify it as separate, some as part. I've found two good sources and if I can find at least one more, I'm going to argue for this to be kept separate since the academic source argues that it's separate from modern paganism. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:50, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep or merge/redirect. I've found mention of this in reliable sources like academic texts and this seems to be viewed as separate from modern paganism to a certain extent. The article in its original format kind of gave off the impression that the above (now struck) paragraph would roughly cover this enough to where it'd be redirectable to the page for MP, but the sourcing I've added shows that this is not the case. On a side note, I can't remember if Llewellyn is reliable or not. I'm leaning towards not, but I've included it just sort of to show that this is a thing. It looks like part of the issue with finding sources for this is mostly because the terminology for this is a little loose. It is covered however, and mentioned as a specific version of paganism in this one by NYU Press. Part of the reason for the confusion is that sometimes it's sort of generalized with MP and other forms of paganism, but it is considered to be separate by its practitioners for the most part. I think that there's enough to keep, in any case. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:06, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • It looks like this is also termed "Universalist Paganism" per this source. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:13, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I'm finding the term "Druidcraft" attached to it as well and it'd fit the initial version of the article, but this was put out through a non-academic publisher so I'd like to make a search for this term and find an academic source before putting this in the article. ( [51]) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:28, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I'm not opposed to this being merged and redirected into modern paganism, so I'm slightly altering this to take into consideration a merge/redirect. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:32, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply

Person's only claim to fame is that a famous person remixed or covered one of his songs, if I understand it correctly. The sourcing is thin as well. Not notable per ARTIST or per GNG. Drmies ( talk) 03:06, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. The Migos article was created because Drake remixed their song. The article is supported by reliable sources such The Fader, Complex and Rap-Up. He is also has a EP released. You're against this article because you disagreed with my edits on the Fetty Wap accident, which was supported by reliable sources. Ramriddlz also did a interview with Vice Media, Inc. which is very credible.— Preceding unsigned comment added by I'm from Covina ( talk • contribs) 03:23, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Also see his song "Sweeterman" was mentioned in a written article for Billboard. http://billboard.com/entry/view/id/132525
    • Actually, I got interested in your edits because it was suggested you were a sock of a pretty prolific master. Anyway, it doesn't matter: the article should be able to stand on its own, and whatever you bring up here (minor mentions) doesn't add up to enough coverage to pass the GNG. Having done an interview and getting a song covered isn't enough. That story on Complex is just silly, and only a few paragraphs because there are no facts to cover ("[Ram and his manager] have managed to keep a low profile"--voluntarily?) Rap-up mentions him in one single sentence (a sentence about Drake and his banana). The Fader story is also about Drake (and Meek Mill), and has two sentences on Drake covering the song, with 13 words devoted to your subject.

WP:NOTMEMORIAL, WP:BIO1E. Prod removed by article creator. "Petition" for MoH has not gone anywhere in several years, and it is unlikely that it will. MSJapan ( talk) 02:08, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Wikipedians have not come into an agreement into what constitutes notability for soldiers. WP:PEOPLE states we should check WP:SOLDIER but that page is an essay rather than a guideline. Regardless, the essay states we should consider whether the soldier received the second highest award a nation can confer. This is the case for Haerter who received the Navy Cross. Looking at what we do rather than what we should or should not, one notices that it's quite common to host articles for Navy Cross recipients as we have a standalone category for them: Category:Recipients of the Navy Cross (United States). The category hosts more than 680 articles. Picking one randomly, such as Edward H. Ahrens, we notice it's common in Wikipedia to host articles for soldiers that only detail the event related to the award. Haerter differentiates himself from the rest as it's likely that his Navy Cross will be "upgraded" to a Medal of Honor in the future. As our guidelines are not clear it's difficult to assess whether Haerter deserves an article on its own. However, when looking at the number of references provided and their time horizon once notices that Haerter's notability extends throughout the years: he has been covered in 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2014. Even in 2015 he is still casually mentioned by the press [52]. — Ahnoneemoos ( talk) 03:28, 30 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete While Yale and Haerter did display extraordinary heroism warranting the award of the Navy Cross, they are one of nearly 6900 estimated recipients of the Navy Cross. The bill to upgrade their awards died in congressional committee in 2014. The consensus has been that being awarded a nations highest award would confer sufficient notability, but the second highest award does not. This would seem to be WP:BIO1E. Their deaths are tragic but Wikipedia is not a memorial. EricSerge ( talk) 01:39, 6 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • But how do you account for time horizon? Haerter continues to be covered by reliable sources years after his death. WP:BIO says that's enough to consider notability. — Ahnoneemoos ( talk) 03:43, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Local coverage still about the 1 Event. EricSerge ( talk) 04:15, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I don't think that coverage by Fox News and Business Insider can be considered "local" coverage though. Besides, we don't care if the coverage is local or not. Our notability guidelines only care about independent coverage on time horizon. Haerter fulfills that criteria. — Ahnoneemoos ( talk) 05:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. A single second-level award is not generally regarded as enough to establish notability. We have deleted many recipients of such awards of various nationalities. I see no reason to make an exception here. If it is subsequently upgraded to the Medal of Honor then obviously he will become eligible for an article, but not yet. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 08:16, 6 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Irrelevant. Every serviceman from the United States killed or decorated these days gets plenty of internet coverage. That doesn't make every one of them notable. It's just a symptom of the internet age. Is he any more significant than someone who won a Navy Cross in the Second World War just because he lived in the 21st century? Of course he isn't. That's why we have WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:ROUTINE. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 13:13, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • That's irrelevant. Our notability guidelines don't care about date of birth, they only care about whether independent reliable sources cover the subject at hand. In this case they do. Period. Haerter satisfies both WP:GNG and WP:BIO. — Ahnoneemoos ( talk) 23:14, 10 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • If that's the case then so does pretty much every other American serviceman killed or decorated in the internet age. Do you really believe that? -- Necrothesp ( talk) 10:18, 12 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Subject does not meets WP:BLP and fails the notability criteria. Also the article lacks independent reliable sources; in current state the article have references either from self-published sources such as personal website, Facebook and partner sites which is the violation of Wikipedia's policy for use of reliable sources to establish notability. The article links to some reliable sources such as Times of India, which lacks significant coverage. In addition, earlier the draft was declined two times for failing Wikipedia's notability criteria and neutrality point of view. Draft submitter Coolkrc moved the draft to mainspace article even after AfC declines. His contributions to Wikipedia indicates conflict of interest or paid editing. — Sanskari Hangout 14:35, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Challenging the AFD Sanskari Hangout (With grateful help from <+Chess> in IRC) Chef Ranveer Brar is notable because, according to criteria 1 of WP:CREATIVE, one can be "regarded as an important figure" to be notable. In this case, you can see from the Sanjeev Kapoor reference [1] , he is not just well regarded by Sanjeev Kapoor, an renowned Indian chef, he is also well regarded by many other organisations, such as the James Beard foundation. Chef Ranveer is at par with the top chefs of the country, along with Sanjeev Kapoor and Vikas Khanna. He was the co-judge of MasterChef India season 4 [2]. He has many more accolades to his credit, validation for which have been added to the article. The credits for which I could not find anything relevant were omitted to avoid guideline violations. Request if this challenge can be reconsidered and the article reinstated. I assure you this is not a paid edit or service. If the challenge is w.r.t the facebook page inclusion, that was just one instance, reason being there was no other news ref at that time. But today I have found and included an article link from the Economic Times and removed the FB reference. Kindly check and advise further. Coolkrc ( talk) 06:18, 9 October 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Coolkrc: The facts and the information on the article has to be cited with the reliable sources. Where we do not accept self-published sources (including that of archived).

@ Sanskari: thanks for your reply. This morning, I have edited and verified all the supportive links in the References section. Additionally some websites had archived or removed their articles, and I have amended those mentions. Have you checked the article post its latest revision please? They are all external sources. Please let me know. Coolkrc ( talk) 11:04, 9 October 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Sanskari: WP:CREATIVE states "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." I have already quoted a reference from Chef Sanjeev Kapoor's page to this effect. Chef Sanjeev Kapoor is an industry on his own and is world-famous!! I had also, when putting this article together for the very first time, added a whole bunch of external links which talked about Chef Ranveer to support my claim to his notability. But some admin asked me to remove that section completely!!! Coolkrc ( talk) 11:07, 9 October 2015 (UTC) reply
This doesn't help in establishing notability. You need to cite the facts with independent and reliable sources E.g. Ranveer Brar is important figure citation needed. Most of the reliable sources that you have provided does not have significant coverage about the subject which is required as per WP:BPL. Please note: WP:BOMBARD does not helps the article to establish notability. — Sanskari Hangout 11:21, 9 October 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Sanskari: going back to my first question, have you checked the article after I have revised it this morning? As mentioned, I found out only today that some websites had removed or archived the links I had quoted and I have since changed or omitted them.

@ Sanskari: Do you suggest i add multiple references for 1 statement? Sorry, I dont understand what you mean by coverage here. If you see Sanjeev_Kapoor it is such a limited article with basic references. I have followed that simple model, by sticking to known facts and supporting them with valid links. If you google Ranveer Brar, there are pages after pages talking about him and his work. So help me here, in what more I can add in terms of coverage.

These are more than enough to establish Chef Ranveer's notability as a celebrity in his own regard. Obviously I cannot include these in a WIKI article!! Moreover, whatever info had a verifiable external source, I have mentioned and recently updated as well. This celebrity chef is also due to be part of I Can Do That (Indian TV series) starting 17th Oct. Please see the program WIKI page to confirm.

Unfortunately this is another case where sources may not be easily accessible, if any exist, and without anything to confirm this information including after all this time, there's nothing to suggest keeping (We have different standards here so maybe Arabic Wiki can keep it where standards may not be as high and maybe someone can eventually improve it).

  • Neutral. If we take the unreferenced article text at face value, he was a member of the Senate of the Kingdom of Libya, which would make him presumptively notable. But I cannot find any list of the members of the 1952 Libyan Parliament (especially the appointed upper house, to which this individual is claimed to belong). This is clearly an access and cultural bias issue; sources that list the members of the first Senate of the Kingdom of Libya must exist, but without access to them, our options are badly constrained.

  • Keep. Soman, below, did an excellent job of providing exactly the sources that I was unable to locate. At some point, there will have to be an editorial decision about what the WP:COMMONNAME transliteration of his name should be. Our article is currently titled Ahmed Rafiq Almhadoui, but uses Ahmed Rafiq al-Mahdawi in prose. The cited journal article below uses both Ahmed Refiq al Mahdevi and Ahmed Refik el-Mehdevi in its English abstract. That sort of thing didn't make sourcing easier...

  • You could have just redirected it yourself. This is articles for deletion, not articles for redirecting. Anyway, I've redirected it again and I'll revert any undone edits. If the redirect does not fly, I will support a merge to his band's article. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 12:28, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • There should be no reason to delete this article. The lead singer has enough notability to have his own article. There are characters that have full articles made for them, yet they are not needed. An example being Valentina Vostok Knuxfan 8:12 AM, 7 October 2015 (CDT)
  • Narutolovehinata5, Knuxfan has been contesting this (he also went to REFUND to contest it) and repeatedly reverting the redirect, which looks to be why RD6 brought it to AfD. It might be worthwhile to let this go through a full AfD because if it closes as a redirect we'll then have the ability to revert based on the AfD closure. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:11, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Tokyogirl79, I'm sorry that I've repeatedly reverted the redirect, and that I went to REFUND, I don't fully understand this process, and don't really know when or how these things are taking place. I can't code or anything like that for shit. So, sorry about the misunderstanding, if it needs to be deleted because it's not an adequate page, then fine. But is there not a way that I can get the topic to have an article made after it? The reason why RD6 requested it for deletion(redirection) was because he said the topic failed to enough notability to warrant it's own article, and I disagree. If the case was with my errors, and it being an incomplete page(I wasn't done editing it, and learned to use the sandbox after the article was already set for deletion), then I'd be fine with that, as I could upload a complete and adequate page later on.(or could I not?) Knuxfan 9:55 AM, 7 October 2015 (CDT)
  • We can always move a copy to the draftspace at WP:AfC and let you work on it there. Basically what you need to do is show where Walden has received coverage for things outside of Emarosa. The easiest way to do this is by providing coverage for singles and albums he's released by himself, if applicable. The other way to do this is to show that his other band is notable enough for its own article, which can be more time consuming and difficult, especially since it's an indie band. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 15:02, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Okay, thank you for explaining. I'm good with that. Do sales count as notability? Or likes/views on videos or music produced by them? Or analytics taken from a page of their's, like website traffic and such? Or maybe even social media followings, or is that reaching? Knuxfan 3:31 PM, 7 October 2015 (CDT) —Preceding undated comment added 20:32, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • No, stuff like that isn't considered to be something that would give notability on here. These are all things that can make it more likely that someone will gain coverage, but popularity (which is what this boils down to, essentially) isn't something that automatically makes something notable. ( WP:ITSPOPULAR) Now having a large fandom can sometimes make someone qualify, but that fandom would have to be extensively reported on ala Trekkies.

  • Delete per WP:BLPCRIME. I found sources here, here, and here, but this seems to have the potential for WP:COATRACK. Per the Forbes article:
Since news of his indictment on 22 counts of wire fraud and money laundering broke in April 2011, the conspiracy adherents have homed in on Thorsen as the mastermind of a fraud to convince people that vaccines are not causative in autism. Why Thorsen? Because he is the fourth author of seven on a paper showing no link between MMR and autism in a large population study of Danish children. The study and data, which are readily checked thanks to Denmark’s meticulous population registries, have not been called into question (through formal channels) or retracted.

  • Delete. This was not an accident and merely an incident. WP:NOTNEWS - not everything (incident) that gets a news article / attention can have a Wikipedia page. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 09:33, 14 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per WP:EVENT and WP:NOTNEWS. Sideways713 ( talk) 12:17, 14 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Will probably soon be forgotten, short media coverage only.-- Müdigkeit ( talk) 13:46, 15 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per NOTNEWS. Passengers die on airliners, captains die on ships, bus drivers have heart attacks, etc. If no further fatalities occur as a result, they aren't notable. Clarityfiend ( talk) 23:05, 15 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete someone dies a natural death at work. If it wasn't in a plane, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all. Seems that it wouldn't be notable - the fact it was on a plane doesn't make it notable. The coverage in the news is typical of the "oh, interesting" to fill up space. Will there be any coverage of this a month from now, 2 years from now? no. Notability isn't temporary; this event was certainly temporary. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 05:00, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete mostly per WP:NOTNEWS. A medical emergency happened, the plane was diverted, and everyone but the captain lived happily ever after. It's not an accident, so it can't be merged to a list of accidents. I don't think routine incidents like this should have their own article. Yes, the news media did report on it, but we are not beholden to create an article on every single topic that briefly bubbles to the top of Google News. This is more applicable to Wikinews.

  • Delete Should be relegated to encyclopedia dramatica. Fudpukker ( talk) 20:59, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per everything above, but could be mentioned in 2015 in aviation, for example. Brandmeister talk 11:37, 17 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I agree with the above comment. It doesn't need its own article; it's not particularly notable as the FO took over the flight and the safety of the aircraft and passengers were never in danger. It was a medical emergency rather than a flight emergency. smrgeog ( talk) 18:53, 17 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Final comment - My final comment, while searching air crashes on Wikipedia (1997-2010), I found that there are other Wikipedia articles that have the same context as Flight 550:

Which by these two alone, Flight 550 seems to fit snug in between them in context, however this event is more rare, like many have already established in the news.

  • After researching, I realized that it can't be classified as an "accident" since the person, inside the aircraft, suffered injuries from natural causes (which is according to Annex 13, section (a.) enforced by the Chicago Convention). However this can still be classified as an "incident" since it was an occurrence that happened inside the aircraft mid-flight, it was a notable event covered by numerous sources (including outside the United States), and it is still believed to be a rare occurrence that doesn't happen often as accidents. At this time I did not edit the article as much since the AFD, however I left on the talk page more information that could be added (if the sources coincide with NOT NEWS). Thank you all for your feed back too (whether against or in favor). Adog104 ( talk) 23:57, 20 October 2015 (UTC)Adog104 reply
  • Comment This flight has no lawsuit nor is related to the setting (an aircraft), whereas turbulence is a part of aviation. If there was clear proof that aircraft ventiliation systems caused the death of the pilot or something like that, then the two above examples would be applicable to this scenario, but since the pilot's death is not recorded as being related to aviation, nor does it have any legal implications, I think a delete would be the most appropriate. As for 'covered outside the United States', many other aircraft incidents that are not recorded on Wikipedia have been as well - just because two flights are on Wikipedia doesn't mean 20 more similar aren't, and the two examples given may also be deleted in the future. Honestly, pilots dying mid-air isn't that rare, which is sad, but just the way it is. It's not necessarily a 'rare occurence'. Yny501 ( talk) 12:13, 22 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Merge to Faisal Saif... where we may use the many sources speaking about his plans for making this film to speak of it there. Just as instructed by WP:NFF notability found through coverage may still have a home here even for unmade or cancelled projects... and the director's article is the perfect place to speak of it.

Individuals with powers of a Constable

Delete for lack of sources, it appears to be all original research. This is a list and fails WP:Stand-alone lists: which states: Selection criteria (also known as inclusion criteria or membership criteria) should be unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources. This list lacks adequate criteria, lacks reference to sources that would establish those criteria, lacks necessary background information and references to sources for that background information, and lastly fails to provide encyclopaedic context. See also Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section. It is best to remove it. So far as I can tell this information if properly cited would belong, not as a list, but as a discussion comparing the various duties and powers of police and quasi-police officials in the UK, as such it would have a totally different title, or be part of another article. I am sure that there are Police Science textbooks that would prove valuable in such an endeavor. No redirect to Constable as it is not a likely search term. -- Bejnar ( talk) 00:13, 7 October 2015 (UTC) reply

This article is now having references added. The people with powers of a constable are a clearly defined group. To add them to the Constable article wouldn't make sense and would be confusing. The public are generally unaware of what employees other than the Police do and this is a source of tension. This article is only designed to clarify this. Leopheard ( talk) 13:14, 10 October 2015 UTC
Constable powers are not uniary. The powers of these various officials vary considerably. A list is not a useful presentation for disparate information. No one is suggesting at this point adding the "list" to the Constable article. What makes you think that people with powers of a constable are a clearly defined group. Do you have a citation to a reliable source that says that? My experience is that neither the "powers of a constable" nor the class of officials with arrest powers are clearly defined. Often they are individually defined, but not as a group. For example, the citation added to the article for "special constables" says nothing at all about their powers. -- Bejnar ( talk) 14:10, 10 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Some positions in the UK have their powers of search and seizure legally defined as "the powers and privileges of a constable". But the use of that phrase in law is not a topic. It does not, and cannot, satisfy WP:LISTN, because there has been no nontrivial, reliable, third-party discussion of the merits of that particular verbiage. And by the article's own admission, the phrasing is what matters; other positions that have search and seizure powers in common with a constable are not included if they are do not share the same legislative definition. And, of course, none of this applies in any other country, where the position of constable may have more (or fewer) powers, shared with entirely disjunct lists of other offices. Squeamish Ossifrage ( talk) 14:57, 14 October 2015 (UTC) reply
[b]Merge[/b] The deletion of this article will not clarify the confusion that exists with the public when it comes to an individual who is clearly not a Constable but is exercising the powers of. "How is he able to do that when he's not a bobby?". There are countless examples in the media where trading standards have been obstructed, Environment Agency bailiffs or PCSOs assaulted, not to mention a plethora of inaccurate articles explaining the difference between a PCSO and PC yet have many inaccuracies. It is only pertinent to the law enforcement area on Wikipedia to at least cover the basics on the differences and where they come from. Also, there are plenty of other places that use the term Constable for law enforcement e.g. Texas. As whether they have Constables and those with the power of, I am unsure as yet leopheard ( talk) 09:23, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
The simple anser is No. See WP:NOLEGAL. The more complex answer is, as I said above, constable powers are not uniary. One might be able to do a large table, just for England and Wales, that listed a number of specific powers cross-indexed against various offcials, but that would not be this article, which as detailed above has a number of problems including, but not limited to, an over-broad scope, lack of reliable criteria, and a basic failure to understand legislative delegation. Just for fun, you might read the Texas constable article and see just how different they are from the English version. -- Bejnar ( talk) 21:02, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete all, and then some. Several of these explicitly state that many of the schools involved are not generally known by their initials. WP:DABABBREV is the controlling guideline here, and it's pretty clear as to what the outcome should be. Also, it may be worth considering four related articles along with this, named "(schools)" instead of "(high schools)": AHS (schools), BHS (schools), HHS (schools), and NHS (schools). AHS (high schools) redirects to the (schools) version, and the (high schools) versions of BHS, HHS, IHS, LHS, and SHS all redirect to their equivalent core disambiguation page. There's no compelling reason why those redirects should need a separate trip to RFD, however. And, needless to say, the various xHS core disambiguation pages will need tidied up after all of this is done. Squeamish Ossifrage ( talk) 15:27, 14 October 2015 (UTC) reply
