Self-promotional stub about a figure who is lacking in references from reliable sources. In the absence of such sources, there is little reason for the stub to remain as an article, especially amid repeated mass removals of unsourced sections for self-promotion. The only significant expansions to the page have been made by IP single-purpose accounts, and there is no reason for the article to exist in my view in the absence of these reliable sources and possible violations of BLP policy.

• Keep - Much to my surprise, this appears to be a GNG pass. HERE is a piece from the Great Falls Tribune, including an interview. And THIS is a feature story on him in the Pioneer Press from Minneapolis-St. Paul. And ANOTHER article on him, this from the Las Vegas Review Journal. That, my friends, fits the definition of multiple, independently published sources of presumed reliability dealing substantially with the subject — which is what we are looking for at AfD. Passes GNG. "Marilyn Manson meets David Copperfield," one of those calls him — that seems about right. Don't get tripped up on the IDONTLIKEIT and DOESNTSEEMNOTABLE AfD missteps... Carrite ( talk) 06:29, 3 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete per the sources provided by Carrite above: local two bit press pieces are not enough to meet the GNG in my book, and some of those are primary sourcing as well (interviews), so they don't count towards the GNG anyway. He also certainly doesn't meet WP:ENT, which is what I suppose those above are arguing for when they discuss the subject notability guideline. I'll throw in my standard critique of the GNG in here where we read it to mean that someone where the available sourcing makes clear they shouldn't be included because of how insignificant they are actually means they should be included. Nothing here suggests that the subject is important or notable. TonyBallioni ( talk) 18:18, 4 November 2017 (UTC) reply

@ Tjwigmor:The source you cite refers to her being a "Fellow of the Academy of Science". Taken in the context of the source itself being an annual report of the Ohio Academy of Science, it seems clear that the source refers to her being a Fellow of the Ohio Academy of Science rather than an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. I don't believe we have any sources indicating that she was the latter, and it is unlikely to have been the case.

• Keep – meets the GNG WP:BASIC, as per a source review. North America ¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:03, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply

I disagree with you about the sources. I'll break it down:

• NME: #2 is a listing/run of the mill, same with 3, 4 is a tour announcement, 5 is an interview.
• Guardian: Neither are what I would consider significant coverage from an independent reliable source.
• Allmusic: neither are coverage
• The list: a review from a website with no editorial oversight, so not exactly coverage. Basically equivalent of a blog.
• Gigwise: not even remotely considered an RS - it's literally rehashing of "press releases" and the band asking fans for things.
• BBC: First two are interviews, last one is a press release.
• Clash: Every single one is an announcement

The rest follow this pattern with maybe one exception of a review, none of which meet our notability standards.

All of these things could be used to support an article if the article were based on actual coverage in independent reliable sources, which is what is lacking here. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:36, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Michig What about it is nonsense? 90% of what was listed in those sources are press releases, interviews and announcements. None of which are coverage. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:24, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

NME: 4 news items and an album review (it even helpfully states 'Album Reviews' at the top), The Guardian coverage is both significant and in a reliable source, both Allmusic sources are coverage, The List is not a 'blog', its the website associated with a print magazine, Gigwise.com is a reliable source - there are two reviews listed that are certainly not rehashes of press releases, the third BBC source is a review (it even has 'Review' in the title), not a 'press release'. Some are news items based on information passed to them - such is the nature of news. The fact that magazines like the NME and Clash see fit to include these as news items differentiates the band from most. -- Michig ( talk) 20:34, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

And we delete many other things for more. In particular Gigwise is not RS and it is most certainly not WP:COVERAGE it's literally directly from the band/ WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. Just because there are reviews doesn't make them significant and doesn't make the source reliable. BBC introducing covers thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of bands that are definitely not notable. It's like having an MTV profile...anyone can do it. NME in particular is useless for determining notability because it's basic information, the equivalent of a press release without the words "press release." Please see WP:COVERAGE. This fails every standard we have and simply having reviews of an album from some random niche websites with no editorial oversight is meaningless. I'd say in this entire list only 2 items might be useful as independently reliable sources. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:40, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Regarding AllMusic, check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources, where it states, "Biography/reviews are fine, but do not use genre sidebar, as it is generated from a separate source from the prose. Don't use review score when review is not present, or mention the "Album Pick" designation." North America ¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:44, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

The result was keep. The arguments here were between the policy on not being an indiscriminate collection of information and our guidelines for spinning off separate articles and continuing coverage for notability. While the arguments for deletion were policy based, a consensus did not emerge in this conversation that the list was an indiscriminate collection of information, and a consensus did emerge that it is currently viewed as a valid spinoff article that has received continued coverage.

Another list of condolences and condemnation. As with other quote farms that have been nominated and deleted, I argue that is not an indiscriminate directory of information and synthing several quotes is in no way encyclopedic. Considering the parent article sufficiently summarizes what this lists says over and over, the purpose for this page has run out awhile ago. Certainly, it has already served its purpose of keeping unimportant reactions off the main page while the event was regularly in the news. And with certainty, I can say the incident is without a doubt notable but remember we are not discussing the shooting itself; anything associated with it is not inherently notable.

• Keep. A scrupulously referenced (117 inline cites), well-researched and detailed accounting of international reactions which is not easily obtainable anywhere else and aids those studying differences in how world entities view specific phenomena of this nature. If there is contention that such lists of reactions should not exist, then this should have been a mass nomination of all entries at Category:International reactions or, to go even further, Category:Reactions. If, on the other hand, the contention is that the other events are more notable than this event or that the structures of the other "Reaction" articles are more adroitly formed than the structure of this article, then we should be made aware of any deficiencies, so that needed improvements may be made. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 21:22, 4 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete. This article doesn't clearly aid those studying "differences" in how countries react to such incidents. I admit that I haven't read the reactions of all 84 countries and territories listed here, but all the ones I read either condemned the attack, expressed condolences for the victims, or both. (Even Iran, whose condemnation appears to have been less than whole-hearted.) Regarding the idea that lists of reactions like this should not exist, I have tended to support deletion of such articles, although such articles do have their supporters and some of them have been kept at AfD. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reactions to the 2010 Moscow Metro bombings (deleted, 28 September 2017) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reactions to the 2017 Barcelona attack (no consensus, 26 August 2017) for two recent examples. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:52, 4 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep this was actually on the news recently. Almost every article beginning with "International reactions to..." has now been to AfD, and hundreds (ok at least 50) have been kept, with only half a dozen deleted, I think that speaks for itself really. you may want to see WP:Reactions to... articles as well. I suppose some people don't like people condemning terrorist attacks, but I think these are important. Dysklyver 16:41, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Well, WP:Reactions to... articles is an essay, and it lists more than 6 of these articles that have been deleted (not all of which had their titles start with "International"). That essay does not specifically endorse keeping or deleting such articles. And when you say "I suppose some people don't like people condemning terrorist attacks ....", I'm not sure what you are implying, but that could be read as suggesting that the opponents of this article are against condemnation of terrorist attacks, which would be an extremely inappropriate mischaracterization. What the opponents of this article are against is a list along the lines of "The leader of Afghanistan condemned the attack and expressed condolences for the victims. The leader of Albania condemned the attack and expressed condolences for the victims. The leader of Algeria condemned the attack and expressed condolences for the victims. The leader of Andorra condemned the attack and expressed condolences for the victims. ... The leader of Zambia condemned the attack and expressed condolences for the victims. The leader of Zimbabwe condemned the attack and expressed condolences for the victims." -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:09, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply

      • • Incoming wall of text. to answer the questions put to me.

Metropolitan90's first comment, which mistakes the nature of my comment, asks by implication if my original comment is "suggesting that the opponents of this article are against condemnation of terrorist attacks", to which I can only say that although I did not write it to that effect (obviously!), I am not too worried if you take it that way, since that is possibly relevant (especially so if thats what you thought after reading it).

The essay was linked as a neutral source of information, I don't see how "you may want to see WP:Reactions to... articles as well." equates to thinking it was policy. Its main relevance is the amount of related information it includes.

The issue of all the African leaders using the same statement is a matter for article cleanup, you know as well as I do that there was massive and varied response both at the time and subsequently from many people, organisations, police forces, and leaders, much of which has not been expanded on to its full potential in this article.

It was the BBC news channel, I can't remember which day, but it was recent, and they were talking about peoples reactions to the Charlie Hebdo event, they had some people on talking about it, they said about how tragic it was and talked about the victims families and such. This influences my personal opinion as to the enduring relevance of recording what was said, this encyclopedia is after all supposed to be the sum of all relevant knowledge.

To answer gracefulslick, I was at first supportive of the general idea, on the premise nothing was being lost as it was unnecessary to have an extra article when the content was in the main one etc etc, all very convincing arguments. However I have come to the opinion that trying to merge these things back into articles which are already to long is not helpful and doesn't work, sure you can say "all the worlds leaders were very upset and expressed condolences for the victims" but that does not give the depth of knowledge that can be shown in a separate article. In the instances where these articles have been deleted, the knowledge has been effectively lost, along with any chance of meaningful expansion. Additionally I have realised that a "Reactions to..." article can actually be expanded beyond a list. It has happened, there are some already, therefore this should be treated as more of a stub framework than a representation of a finished dead-end article of insufficient quality for inclusion in the encyclopedia.

I have realised it is not necessary to cite some WP:THING every time I express my opinion, I can see people have already discussed the guidelines in this discussion, and in many other similar discussions and piling on and parroting is pointless, this is not a vote. It is far more effective in this case to point people to an essay with plenty of information, people can make an informed decision without me having to type it all in here, it even links to many other AfD's, I am aware that precedent is not binding, but given that the nominator and other editors seek to influence the outcome of this AfD with a misstatement on the way past AfD's have resulted it is only fair to direct editors to a more neutral standpoint.

The so called policies (they are actually guidelines) are neither defined nor binding, and are written in a way which can mean almost anything, so editors are literally split down the middle on the meaning of even the most basic concepts. What actually matters is common sense and building a good encyclopedia, and I would highly recommend everyone to always think of WP:5P when considering what these guidelines are actually for. I have pointed out why I think what I think, expressed some possibly useful points, and that is plenty, there are others here actively arguing precedent and policy, claiming 'quote farms' violate this and that, without any obvious grounding in reality or even the common understanding of policy.

• Keep While it may be true there has been a proliferation of these articles, with many created perhaps unnecessarily, that is not a valid reason to delete this article. International reactions to the Charlie Hebdo shooting were unprecedented, and probably the most significant since the September 11 attacks. The reactions from newspapers, artists, cartoonists, world leaders, and the public was significant and highly historically notable. The reactions, which included the march in Paris, received significant, in-depth coverage on a global basis. AusLondonder ( talk) 22:08, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep per AusLondonder. It's a well-sourced article and this event comes just below 9/11 and hence is notable. Pharaoh of the Wizards ( talk) 06:11, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• Comment Can we cool off on the 9/11 comparisons? For one, we are not discussing the incident itself and secondly it is a tad distasteful. This shooting was obviously terrible but 9/11 is on a whole other spectrum. Saying this incident is "just below" 9/11 -- remember 3,000 killed and over 6,000 wounded -- is a gross exaggeration. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 08:19, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• I second this comment. 9/11 had a massive body count and triggered the War on Terror, United States invasion of Afghanistan, and quite arguably 2003 invasion of Iraq. Charlie Hebdo was a significant terror attack, led to Je suis Charlie (a long enough article in itself! A reaction we should note), and international condemnations a bit out of the norm (more than usual outpouring of sympathy, some degree of Muslim nation ambivalence due to cartoons of Mohammed etc.). However in the grand scheme of things - there it was one in a chain - and didn't lead to any significant development (yes - France heightened security yes again. Yes - there was also an attack on cartoon drawing in Texas (however there were also attacks prior to Hebdo)). We already have quite a long and comprehensive reaction section in the main article. Icewhiz ( talk) 09:58, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• If this Charlie Hebdo massacre is so important, then why nominate its international reactions article, a valid WP:SPINOFF, for deletion? If the main reason for deletion is that it isn't 9/11 wouldn't that be weak argumentation? Maybe withdraw? gidonb ( talk) 14:04, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Gidonb where in my nom statement did you see me mention 9/11; how can you consider it my main reason for deletion? All I asked was for editors to not get carried away with such a comparison. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 17:18, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• TheGracefulSlick Point taken. I think it is best to judge each massacre by its own impacts. The Charlie Hebdo massacre had major impacts, see for example Charlie Hebdo attacks: five ways France has changed. gidonb ( talk) 02:03, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Gidonb can you consider Knowledgekid's !vote for a redirect? The target containd actual notable reactions, not just routine grief statements repeated a dozen times and easily summarized in a brief paragraph. It certainly would address the issue of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 04:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

TheGracefulSlick I've seen it but strongly disagree. One article is for the popular response, the other for the formal response. Both are legitimate spinouts. As I pointed out below both have been proposed for deletion with little support. A simplified look at the more complex relations between the three articles: the fact that Charlie Hebdo attack was immediately perceived to be an important massacre (and a crossroads for the freedom of press, arts, and speech) brought wide popular reactions, strengthening again the importance of the Charlie Hebdo attack. As it came to be seen as such a major event the formal response gained in enduring importance just as well. gidonb ( talk) 00:06, 8 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Question - is anyone seeing WP:LASTING and WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE of international reactions to Charlie Hebdo specifically? Are the Cambodian, Georgian, Greek, Brazilian, or Mauritian referred to by any recent sources? Icewhiz ( talk) 14:33, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Not to an obvious extent in English sources in countries that are less connected to the incident. But the reactions in Germany, the US, Russia, Britain, Canada, Australia, Syria, Nigeria, Brazil, China, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, etc etc are still getting continued coverage and having lasting impact, and you could be sure that if there was a terror attack in Greece, the Greek response to this Charlie Hebdo incident would be back in the news. It is worth noting a certain amount of cleanup could be relevant to this article, I don't think most the responses from Africa are relevant, and there aren’t enough US and European responses, nor as much as I would like to see written about them.

• To be fair - that nom was made on the day of the attack itself before it was clear the slogan would be as notable as it has become - and was closed as a snow keep after it became clear (it actually had some editor support on 7 Jan, but in the following days it was all keep). However, whereas Je suis Charlie has lasting notability (and definitely will be discussed in the future in conjunction with the attack and in relation to other shows of sympathy to other attacks) - the boiler plate condemnations of random foreign ministers/word leaders really do not seem to be covered more than month after the event - these are all collapsed in subsequent coverage to "condemned by almost all world leaders", with notable exceptions noted.

• Keep  This seems to be a fad to nominate for deletion expressions of the milk of human kindness.  The nominator states in the nomination that the page, "has...served its purpose of keeping unimportant reactions off the main page", which is a statement that there are both unimportant and important reactions in this article.  To the extent that there is anything indiscriminate, this is something handled under WP:Editing policy, not under WP:Deletion policy, and a rather ordinary editing problem of WP:DUE.  The remedy for those who don't want to read, "France...offer[s] the world a timeless example that will endure well beyond the hateful vision of these killers", is: Don't read the article..  Unscintillating ( talk) 15:49, 11 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete does not meet notability guidelines for runners. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 01:33, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep According to WP:NATH, the subject is notable if they have competed in the Olympics, the IAAF World Championships in Athletics, the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics, the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, or the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships (former IAAF World Road Running Championships). The key word is or, so one or more of the listed events. The subject has competed in the 2015 World Championships in Athletics and so meets the criteria. Greenman ( talk) 07:19, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply

A technicality surely? He was entered in one race at the 2015 Championships which he did not finish. That doesn't count.-- CouncilConnect ( talk) 11:15, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply

The criterion is quite clear - it says competes, not finishes. Greenman ( talk) 12:28, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Looking into the subject further, he holds his country's current national half-marathon record, has won at least the Istanbul and Kilimanjaro half marathons, and his death was widely covered in media outside of his home country. Seems a fairly clearcut case to keep. 12:52, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

• Keep Subject meets WP:NATH multiple times. In addition to IAAF World Championships in Athletics appearance, subject finished 9th at the 2015 IAAF World Cross Country Championships – Senior men's race and won the Istanbul Half Marathon (an IAAF Gold Label Road Races). Meeting it multiple times gives a strong presumption of notability. That is a starting point, but not the end. It only gives a presumption. Here, we have an athlete from a country where, according to the Tanzania page, English is not the official language, but is list under "other." So we should be able to find at least some sources considering the recency and the role of English. Here, we have that. For example, the dailynews.co.tz article is a great source and goes towards meeting GNG (note that it is about the subject winning the Istanbul Half Marathon - the same race that causes the guideline to be met; almost like it's set up that way). With the coverage of his death, that seems to produce its own sources. To me, GNG is met. But even if someone says its not there yet, we are clearly close. In view of what is provided, WP:BIAS, and WP:NATH, keep. RonSigPi ( talk) 23:16, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply

AusLondonder , As per WP:NPOL we understand that; "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article"

That It does not gurantee notability does not auto-translate to he/she not being notable as line 8 above implies and explains. That aside, even on the grounds of WP:BASIC i feel this page merits a stand alone. Celestina007 ( talk) 1:16, 05 November 2017 (UTC)

• Strong delete even major party candidates for governor are not 100% passes of GNG, although there is probably enough indepth coverage for most to pass. Minor party candidates for governor are orders of magnitude below passing GNG considering how little impact minor parties have in US politics. This is from an editor who voted for the Constitution Party candidate for US president in 2016, so I have no animus against the party, I just recognize that Riccardi does not meet notability criteria. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:27, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete. Unelected candidates for office are not guaranteed articles just for being candidates — and being a candidate for governor isn't an automatic notability boost either, especially if one is a minor-party candidate. Even for Democratic or Republican candidates for governor, the notability usually derives from having already held another notable office prior to running for governor — such as lieutenant governor, or attorney general, or a seat in the state legislature or the US Congress, or mayor of one of the state's biggest cities — rather than from the fact of running for governor per se. But there's no preexisting notability for other reasons being demonstrated here, nor enough reliable source coverage that's substantively about him to grant him a special exception: of the 13 footnotes here, five are unnecessary reduplications of his own primary source campaign website, one is a raw table of the prior election results from 2013, three are unnecessary repetitions of two of the others, and two are basic and WP:ROUTINE overviews of all the gubernatorial candidates rather than sources which single him out for dedicated attention. So there are really only two sources here that count toward establishing notability at all — and that's not enough. Bearcat ( talk) 20:38, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  I apologize for the confusion. I brought the discussion here, out of abundant caution, to seek admin attention and community input for properly handling this page. My concern was primarily to ensure the editing history of this long-standing page is preserved. I did mention the possibility of preserving that history thru a WP:HISTMERGE which I understand includes the deletion and re-creation of the page. In my determination to err on caution's side, it seems I have mistakenly chose the wrong venue, causing confusion thereby.

This article overlaps too much with "fractional reserve banking" see [Overcategorization] Reissgo ( talk) 12:01, 4 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Economics-related deletion discussions. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 13:01, 4 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep. It's true there is some overlap, however there are good reason to keep the money creation article as a generic article on the topic:

1. the value of the money creation article is that it describes other ways to create money outside of the banking system (ie money creation by the central bank itself). FRB is just one way to create money;
2. the notion of fractional reserve baking itself has been largely criticized. Fractional reserve banking can be rightly described as the outcome of the money creation process, but banks don't "multiply" central bank reserves into broad money (they adjust their reserves a posteriori). I don't want to start a debate on this point here, but as a matter of fact there are a number of alternative terms to describe Fractional reserve banking (eg. "inside money"; "broad money"). It's probably not a coincidence that most central banks have avoided reference to FRB and talk about "money creation" instead (see the BoE & Bundesbank for example).

Anyway, I see the need to reorganise somehow the content between the two articles, but "money creation" remains the most generic term that anyone can understand (and in fact the one that most people look for) so it would keep it and make sure to refer people to the FRB within it and make sure both articles are consistently complementary. My two cents. Stanjourdan ( talk) 15:58, 4 November 2017 (UTC) Post-edit: actually the Money supply article would be a far better candidate for deletion/merge! reply

• Delete. Money creation and fractional reserve banking are almost synonymous. Indeed the Bank of England paper Stanjourdan mentions, entitled "Money Creation in the Modern Economy" is essentially a paper that describes how fractional reserve banking works. The two articles have sections going over the same ground - see for example their sections on the Money Multiplier.

No they are not synonymous! That's what i tried to explain above. The fact that FRB is money creation does not mean all money creation is FRB...

Reissgo ( talk) 09:22, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply

You don't need to convince me about the overlaps (and neither do i need convincing about the need to seriously improve the consistency of all money related wiki pages) but yet I remain unsatisfied by your lack of response to my objection that all money creation mechanisms are not linked with FRB, hence one cannot claim that the FRB entry would advantageously replace money creation. Second I would be curious to know what would justify moving money creation to FRB and not – for example – to Endogenous money or money supply. I think there is need for a much larger conversation here before deciding on deleting this particular page. Stanjourdan ( talk) 10:55, 5 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Indeed Stanjourdan, there could be money creation mechanisms not connected to FRB. But the term "money creation" as discussed in textbooks would normally be a reference to money creation within a fractional reserve system. If you made a Venn diagram of fractional reserve banking and money creation (as discussed on the wiki page), then the sum total of what is outside of fractional reserve banking is IMHO A) rather small and B) fully covered elsewhere.

On another note altogether, much of the contents of fractional reserve banking is very contentious and has been battled over for years by many frustrated editors. If we have another page which contains essentially the same material in similar levels of detail then we are unnecessarily creating two battlefields. Reissgo ( talk) 11:18, 6 November 2017 (UTC) reply

If anyone is concerned that deleting the money creation page could leave readers missing out on anything, we could A) have money creation redirect to fractional reserve banking. and B) add a small section to fractional reserve banking entitled "Alternative ways of creating money" which gave links to pre-existing wiki pages.

Yes that's where the shells and gold rush stuff comes in. I guess they didn't have a gold rush in Great Britain but they did sail all hither and yon in search of material wealth and inflations and deflations ensued. This is one of the snowiest AfD keeps in recent memory. Nor is the content controversial. It's just one editor with a bug in his britchesbee in his bonnet about the British banking system.

I concede that the money creation page *could* talk about many things unconnected with fractional reserve banking - but the page as it stands scarcely does.

This article has various problems. It is encyclopedic; written from a biased and a non Neutral point of view; with unclear criteria of selection; some entries being trivial or normal in any society; highly speculative with more assumptions than proven facts; it has a journalistic sensationalist tone and unreliable sources. If we are talking about foreign affairs Hong Kong and Macau shouldn't be in this article, those entities being part of China, so it is an internal issue and again the tone is biased and speculative with unproven assumptions.

Favor deletion: As per above, plus

1. The article cannot meet the suggestions for alternatives to deletion at WP:ATD, such as editing or merging because "interference" cannot be defined neutrally. The article is POV by its very nature.
2. A search of Wilkipedia interference of finds no other article for any other country.

Oppose deletion: You may delete the content there is not with reasonable citation. However, many of the events listed were with reliable citation, and were included in other WikiPedia article. Hong Kong and Macau is regarded as not Part of China in many technical context. The reason of listing the respective incidents are therefore justified. Hong Kong and Macau are not only internal affairs of China, but also places that should be protected by international treaties. An ignorance of the treaties should also be considered as interfenence of affairs of the other treaty-signing country. Universehk ( talk) 19:54, 1 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Oppose deletion: The title is a bit biased, It should say 'involvement' instead of 'interference' as interference is too broad. Actually there a a page similar to foreign events with the interference of the United states and its United States involvement in regime change. I don't see a proposal to delete that page. While inclusion of Macau and Hong Kong is debatable, there plenty of reasonable citation in major international events and if there is any highly speculative entries, those entries can be deleted on said grounds, but not the entire wikipedia page. DoctorHell( talk) 06:42, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment 1) This is not only about the sources. It's about the tone of the article. As an example look at the first entry. Some students showing their opinion (nothing wrong with that, we are not here to judge them), the consulate is supporting its citizens (it’s the consulate/embassy job anyway). So what’s wrong here? Oh, it is about that villainous China with her evil CCP! They surely have an evil master plan to corrupt the minds of the free Aussies. See, we are making some biased, highly speculative and unproven assumptions, writing them from a non NPOV. And this is the case with most the informations from this this article. Sure this can make a sensationalistic (click-bite) MSM news, but it’s inappropriate for an encyclopedia.

2) Saying that HK/Macau is not part of China is like saying that the State of California is not part of the US. (Yes Universehk, I know about the „treaties”) Daduxing ( talk) 08:32, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment Yes the tone of the article could be argued as biased, thats the reason there is an NPOV dispute template put in place. In regards to the first entry, it is very puzzling why would a consulate get involved in an internal university affair in the first place, the characterization of the sources being "sensationalistic (click-bite)" is an opinion, while others would think of those sources as highly reputable sources.  DoctorHell( talk) 17:37, 2 November 2017 (UTC) reply

I nominated this article for deletion last year and it was kept in a low-turnout discussion with some specious keep arguments. The problems with this article are manifold. It is a BLP with precisely zero reliable sources. There are supposedly good sources for this subject (per the arguments in the previous AfD) but they have not manifested themselves in the ensuing year.

My original goal was to return to this highly promotional article, scrape off all of the promotional fluff and start over with good sources. But there are no good sources, and it is all fluff. A fluff-ectomy would leave no article behind.

In short, there is no indication in the article that the subject meets the GNG, and the fact that it has been entirely unsourced for over 8 years is both a major BLP problem and a strong hint that it will never be adequately sourced. A Train ^talk 00:32, 21 October 2017 (UTC) reply

I have now removed the long, unsourced bio, added some reliably sourced material, and I continue to think that Frangipane is notable. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 10:08, 23 October 2017 (UTC) reply

The article is definitely getting better. E.M.Gregory, and if it ends up being kept, I promise to help you improve it further. That said, I am not massively swayed by the sources here. Just to be extra pendantic, let's have a reminder of what the project considers a good source: Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This stricture is even more important for BLPs, like this one. So let's examine our sources.

• A book review in the Des Moines Register. I take this one on faith because it's behind a ProQuest subscription link. This is a reliable source for the book more than its BLP author, anyway.
• An exceedingly trivial mention of the subject in this Christian Post blog. Even if this was an in-depth profile of the subject, is the Christian post a source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy? Dunno about that one.
• Two citations from the Institute on Religion and Democracy, a Christian thinktank. Again, does this have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy?
• A mention in a book by one Michael Wilkinson, a redlink author.

I'm totally open to the idea that this fellow is a major figure in contemporary Christianity. But where's the big profile in National Review, American Spectator, or Christianity Today to that effect? A Train ^talk 11:18, 23 October 2017 (UTC) reply

(edit conflict) I was just writing this when you rang: Sourcing Article needs sourcing and expansion, and sources are available in books. Although ~ the first 5 pages of a book search turn up books written by Frangipane, after that you start to get SIGCOV discussions of his ideas, and a few details about his career. Not all is favorable, one described his writing on "the Jezabel spirit" as "anachronistic." Some of the books that discuss his work are probably self-published, but some are by "real" publishers. The same is true of books written by Frangipane; he has had books published by Baker Publishing Group, but has also (mostly?) self-published. However, a number of his books have been translated into other languages. Article needs an editor, or several of them. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 11:27, 23 October 2017 (UTC) reply

The Christian Post is well regarded, and probably about as good on facts as the average American daily. I am hoping that one of the editors I pinged above will be more able than I to set Frangipane in his proper context. There is, for example, his book The Jezebel Spirit, which is about the Jezebel spirit. I added material cited to a single book to the text. Talking like this about women certainly places him at one edge of modern Protestantism. But my point here is that if you run a book search on frangipane +"jezebel spirit", you get quite a few hits [47]. The first hit is to the book I cited in the text; the 2nd hit is self=published, but the third hit is on Music in the Old Bones: Jezebel Through the Agesis out from Southern Illinois University Press, it is by Janet Howe Gaines, a literature professor at the University of New Mexico, and it offers a scholarly encounter with Frangipane's work. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 11:41, 23 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Okay, that all is sounding more promising to me. If some more academic references materialize then I'm happy to withdraw the nomination and get to work improving the article. A Train ^talk 12:18, 23 October 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep -- but not for the reasons one might expect. I expect evangelists to engage in self-promotion as much as any musician or comedian. There is a dose of COI here too, I suspect. My concern is the standard used for academics, whose ONLY claim to fame is their bibliography. No mainstream press articles about Frangipane? There aren't many about most academics, either. Rhadow ( talk) 20:20, 28 October 2017 (UTC) reply

This strikes me as half of an argument. Preachers are different from profs, and therefore we shouldn't use the same criteria when evaluating them. Okay, for the sake of discussion, I'm with you so far. But where is there criteria that we should use when evaluating them? You seem to be arguing that, because they aren't typically covered in mainstream sources, preachers should be exempt from the WP:GNG. A Train ^talk 07:44, 31 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Forgive me for jumping in here, especially since my own comment is deserving of criticism as half an argument, but there is a difference between preachers and evangelists, going back to the Greek words.  Unscintillating ( talk) 23:06, 31 October 2017 (UTC) reply

As a classicist, I am embarrassed. You are correct, Unscintillating: I used broad synonyms carelessly. I think my point remains, however. A Train ^talk 23:22, 31 October 2017 (UTC) reply

I have to disagree.  Many if not all churches have preachers, but evangelists are few and far between.  Unscintillating ( talk) 23:58, 31 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Then surely a character of such distinction has been written about in spades. But we're in the same place we were when I nominated this article two weeks ago, and little removed from when I nominated it over a year ago: a BLP with no reliable sources. A Train ^talk 00:14, 1 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Your edit comment is "great. where are the sources then?"  By changing the topic of your own question, you are making the keep !vote stronger, since the point about PROF is exactly the point that GNG (and your fallacy, "surely a character of...distinction has been written about" with sufficient sources to show GNG) is not the core definition of WP:N. 

And yet, I was thinking something quite similar, which is, "what is the evidence that the topic is an evangelist"?  I would love to see that evidence.  It doesn't have to be GNG sources.  And evidence is more important in WP:N than sources. 

As for WP:V#Notability, it says, "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it."  Is this satisfied?  Unscintillating ( talk) 01:03, 1 November 2017 (UTC) reply

I'm afraid that I'm not following you at all. How exactly have I "changed the topic of my own question"? That sounds like a pretty nifty trick I've got there, apparently.

There is a lot of handwaving in this debate but it really just comes down to one thing: are there enough reliable sources to support a BLP? BLP concerns are paramount everywhere on Wikipedia. Are there reliable sources that will support a BLP in this article or indeed anywhere? The answer continues to be no. All I have been doing since the beginning of this discussion (and not unreasonably, I like to think) is ask for sources. There is a lot of argumentation but the sources are not forthcoming. A Train ^talk 01:28, 1 November 2017 (UTC) reply

I'm not wanting to defend my position as having said reasonable things, but your responses are having an effect of pushing me to explain to you that my comments are based in reason.  Your first question was, "But where is there criteria that we should use when evaluating <evangelists>?"  Interesting question, but the next thing I know, your argument has shifted to GNG sources.  WP:N doesn't need sources.  The fact that the article needs reliable sourcing is a different question than Wikipedia notability.  Unscintillating ( talk) 02:38, 1 November 2017 (UTC) reply

I'm genuinely sorry if I'm alienating you, User:Unscintillating that is not my intent. I guess we just have wildly divergent understandings of WP:N. As you yourself point out above, WP:N demands that if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. I do not understand how this logically squares with your assertion that WP:N doesn't need sources, or with the notion that I have somehow moved the goalposts.

The thought experiment about WP:NEVANGELIST was a (mildly) entertaining path to finding what sourcing guideline we should have for this subject, but it is ultimately always down to sources. A Train ^talk 07:59, 1 November 2017 (UTC) reply

"Wildly"?  Your softening words are joined with ever increasing escalations.  WP:V is core content policy.  Policy pages state that they are widely (not wildly) accepted standards that all editors should normally follow.  As long as you look at a quote from a core content policy, WP:V, and think that I'm citing a minor guideline, WP:N, your escalations will continue to be your personal problem.  It does verify that you haven't a clue what I've been emphasizing as the most important issue starting with my first comment. 

But the problem here is also your understanding of W:N, which does not require sources, and PROF is a helpful example of how this is applied.  Unscintillating ( talk) 09:13, 3 November 2017 (UTC) reply

• Comment -- OK, I think I can express myself more clearly now. Politicians and athletes get press automatically. We have our choice of mainstream articles. We can afford to be critical and choosy. College professors get tributes when they retire. Preachers, I'm not sure when. So we take what we can get; we should use good judgement. In the case of Frangipane, we might ask ourselves, "Is he someone we want to remember in fifty years time?" Or, put another way, would the New York Times publish his obit without being paid? It's easy to write a policy, hard to teach judgment. Tell me what you really want to do and I'll change my vote. Rhadow ( talk) 01:38, 1 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• Comment  WP:N asks the question, "is the topic worthy of notice".  Especially in my search through pages 5-10 of Google scholar, I saw reference after reference quote from the topic.  This to me shows that the topic is worthy of notice.  Readers will have a reason to ask, "Who is Francis Frangipane". 
  What can I/we write reliably about the topic is a different question.  Should we accept in Wikipedia's voice that he has ministered to thousands of pastors?  Maybe we should just say that we couldn't find the type of material that we needed to write an article, making the point that those in the ministry could add a "Media" page to their primary website showing where independent sources have written about them.  Maybe we just haven't looked at reliable things we could say with the material we have.  My sense right now is that we don't have an article.  Unscintillating ( talk) 02:12, 1 November 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete -- I'm not able to find any substantive review of the subject's works. That's how notability for authors is judged. If 3rd party sources take notice of the author's work, then it's appropriate to have an encyclopedia entry. I don't see it this case.

Some of the links in her biographical entry have not been made to point toward their proper targets, but those misdirected links should not become a reason in singling out the article for proposed deletion. Wildlife should be either redlinked or unlinked, because the pilot episode for this unsold NBC sitcom, in which Cathy Shim had a major supporting role, does not have its own Wikipedia entry, but is mentioned, at least, in the article for its star, Christopher Sieber#Television. As for The Cleveland Show, that link should actually flow not to the show's main header, but to the episode in which she provided the voice of Margaret Cho, Love Rollercoaster (The Cleveland Show), as depicted here. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 23:31, 4 November 2017 (UTC) reply
