Seen on WP:NPP. This is redundant to List of women astronomers, a "leadership position" is somewhat poorly defined, and there are no references about the specific cross-categorization. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 23:16, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete for being too specific per WP:SALAT. The vision-challenged Montanan horse thieves don't need company. Clarityfiend ( talk) 03:20, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • KEEP: This article is distinct from List of women astronomers because not all women astronomers are instrumentalists. In fact, instrumentation is a field with very few women compared to men, so this article is an important reference. Pmw21 ( talk) 06:58, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Then would it make sense to change the scope to "List of women instrumentalists"? 3 variables is generally a lot for a list (women + leadership position + instrumentation projects). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:32, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • That would make the list far too long... hundreds of people. This list will be (at present) roughly 50, which is easily curatable. Pmw21 ( talk) 16:03, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • To be clear, regardless of whether this list is kept or the scope changed, the people without Wikipedia articles should be removed per WP:LISTPEOPLE.

KEEP It is a very useful list, to be PI of this sort of project is pretty significant and these women are likely to need wikipedia pages of their own so it will help to encourage them to be written by others.

KEEP These are notable women for their position as a leader of one of these projects. If they are missing wikipedia articles that's an omission that should be fixed. I think this is a fascinatinng addition to other lists of notable astronomers. KarenLMasters ( talk) 17:11, 29 July 2018 (UTC) reply

KEEP Having a leadership role on an astronomical project is equivalent to managing from a few million to billions of local currency of public funds. Getting to that degree of responsibility as a scientist clearly merits notability, and this list will clearly and quickly show who needs articles (generally they are presently lacking articles due to the known underrepresentation on WP), so Rhododendrites's point will be speedily addressed. Iridia ( talk) 08:38, 30 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment This list has the potential for getting out of date very quickly, unless it has a section on past leaders and is then updated as and when retirements / change of role / new appointments occur. As an orphan it is not particularly useful to the project at this time. I wonder it would be better to collate these articles in a category rather than a list. Polyamorph ( talk) 15:23, 30 July 2018 (UTC) reply
I agree a section of past/current could make sense. As most of these positions are held either from concept through the duration of the respective mission (i.e. 5-10 years), or for directorships, at least a couple of years and generally more like 5-7 years, it may be a relatively minimal problem. Iridia ( talk) 08:01, 31 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep because it's a notable and reasonable list of notable people, although the title is clunky and as such the article needs to be moved/re-named. Bearian ( talk) 15:47, 2 August 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment Does it really matter how it aired? Was it done with continuity between to connect these segments with connecting commentary in-between? Doubtful. More likely it filled dead time slots and was just three ten-minute segments or two/three seven-minute segments packed together the same way anyone would create an iTunes playlist with just some 'here's the next one' filled in-between each segment.

  • Delete and/or redirect. To be fair, this was created 12 years ago, a time when our sourcing and notability standards were a lot more lax for TV shows than they are now — in 2006, a television show was granted a presumption of notability as long as its mere existence was verifiable via its own website. But that was a grave mistake which left us too open to advertorial abuse, so we've since considerably tightened up WP:NMEDIA's standards for the notability of a television show: now, a show is extended notability only if it can be shown as the subject of reliable source coverage about it in media. Since it aired in the 2000s, I ran a ProQuest search for older sourcing, and while I did find a glancing namecheck of its existence in an article about its network, I found nothing which was actually about the show for the purposes of getting it over NMEDIA. Bearcat ( talk) 23:01, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - I'm unable to find any reliable sources for this show. The proposed redirect provides little information about the topic (it's no longer broadcast by Treehouse TV) and is unlikely to be informative to readers who purposely search for the term.

The result was delete. While I acknowledge the vast difference in participation between this AfD and the previous one, I think we can call this consensus to delete. I'm sympathetic to the arguments now (and previously) that this is a well-defined genre, but I'm more convinced by the below participants that it is well-defined only by each listener (or, more likely, by their local broadcaster or DJ). In particular are the arguments about the subjectivity of such a list, especially given that two sources have largely determined this list (fantastic though Walt Hickey may be).

On a process note, I'm not actually deleting this, per se: it existed as a redirect to Classic rock for a decade before the first AfD, so I'm restoring it as such. Let me know if anyone is opposed to that, and I'll put it up at WP:RfD. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 21:36, 3 August 2018 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE. A song to be categorised as classic rock is extremely subjective, the only sources that verify this is songs mention in "best of" lists.

  • Delete. This list is hardly inclusive of the genre (even of songs which could be sourced as "classic rock" songs).

  • Delete The original article was the product of one misguided editor and it was correctly changed to a redirect where it remained for 10 years. Since it was restored it has been a magnet for unsourced POV entries that requires, but has not received, constant monitoring. The scope of this list is so vague that it could conceivably contain every rock song from an undefined era spanning the late 1960s to the late 1980s, or just the 200 songs that have been regularly played on classic rock radio stations for decades.

Completely subjective criteria; at this point I'm hearing Nirvana and RHCP regularly on WKLH, one of the most well-known classic rock stations in the US, for instance, and one station could embrace "Brown Eyed Girl" while another could have a DJ rant against Van Morrison's very existence for ten minutes.

Peteforsyth My research is still a work in progress. I admit, this (which has an interview you can ignore, or not) and this are among the best sources so far, and those are not ideal examples. I'm selecting these just from the initial sources used to expand the article, which I found via Google Search. I've not yet searched newspapers archives or other databases. I will say, though, he is mentioned in sourcing over the span of decades, because of his various roles, court cases related to his poisoning and the Rajneesh movement in general, etc. This one is a bit trickier given his many names, various locations of residence, etc. I hope I'm not doing this assessment injustice by sharing these links now, I just wanted to acknowledge your request and share where I'm at currently. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 21:17, 19 July 2018 (UTC) reply

The three pages cited cover Meredith's early days in England, his failing marriage to Eileen, his first affair, his firtst trips to India, his romance and marriage with Wendy and the birth of their son Daeveda, and his subsequent affair, as well as details of his religious beliefs.

  • Comment: In the spirit of addressing the WP:BOMBARDMENT issues, I've eliminated many of the references rejected in this discussion as "passing mentions". One of the difficulties in this research has been the four names the subject has used, meaning some articles refer to his as Meredith, others Devaraj, still others Amrito, and a few as John Andrews. Some use all four names, some two or three... so it's easy to miss some of the more in-depth coverage if you only find a passing mention in one section of a book, and miss entirely the sections where his life and work are discussed more thoroughly.
I would draw attention to three of the sources that actually do cover the subject in depth, and convince me he meets GNG:

Thanks for this, Grand'mere Eugene. I have to agree, research on this individual has been challenging, and I do think some source pruning was necessary. That being said, AfD forced us to scramble, and I'm glad we spent time combing through many sources to put together some sort of biography and timeline about this interesting and mysterious man. I, too, still lean towards keeping this article, as coverage of this subject spans decades and connects him with many notable events, people, and organizations. With a little more time and research, I believe this biography could be molded into an entry that benefits Wikipedia. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 04:19, 25 July 2018 (UTC) reply
What is the authority of a book written by an non notable individual and citing him as a reference? Such books are often around us and we can't immediately tell if they are reliable especially by looking at the author and the publisher of the book.

@ Accesscrawl: Unless you have specific knowledge of the editorial practices of Om Publishing, there's a logical flaw in your argument: "I don't have reason to believe they have strong editorial practices" does not imply "their editorial practices are sub-par." Reviews in The Hindu and The Hindustan Times express the opposite sentiment, for instance "The book is the result of nearly three decades of reportage and is based on extensively recorded audio and video interviews with Osho’s closest followers and a mass of official documents, testimonies and press reports" and "Pune-based Vaidya is a senior journalist who has served as the Washington correspondent of a national daily and as an editor in India." Your argument may have some merit as a reason for skepticism of specific, controversial points within the book, and therefore relevant to how the source is used in the construction of the biography; but it's not an apt criticism of the book as supporting the general notability of the topic. A publisher's decision to cover a topic, and critical review of the book in reliable sources, is sufficient to establish it as contributing to the topic's notability. - Pete Forsyth ( talk) 23:30, 25 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: As a long-time ghost producer Mr. Wallbridge is probably responsible for some notable dance tracks... there's articles here from Billboard [6] and DJ Mag [7] about his involvement in ghost production but it means we'll never know what those songs were, and never have any RS to prove his role in them. None of his own records have ever charted, so it's likely that this article will be deleted due to lack of credible sources. This BBC clip [8] is only 20 seconds long and tells you nothing more than what's in the paragraph of text alongside it. Otherwise there are various EDM websites like YourEDM [9] and EDM Sauce [10], and I don't think we've ever really established whether these pass RS or not.
If Mr. Wallbridge's article gets deleted, the article for his album The Inner Me should be deleted as well. Richard3120 ( talk) 16:50, 6 July 2018 (UTC) reply
I think "probably" is the most important word in that sentence. Wikipedia requires that all material be attributable to reliable, published sources. If he has genuinely produced that many hit records, then having another should be a Wikipedia article for old rope, but for now it's too soon.-- Laun chba ller 17:06, 6 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep, Wallbridge does have some sources mentioning him in their pages, at Dancing Astronaut, YourEDM, and Billboard which I would generally cite as reliable. Page looks very sparse at the moment and would require a complete rewrite if it were to stay in the mainspace. Perhaps move it to draft for someone to rewrite it? (Note to the editor above, EDM Sauce is not a reliable source since it's a blog) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ANode ( talk • contribs) 14:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Thanks for clearing up the status of EDM Sauce, I appreciate it. The problem I see is that although the sources mentioned above are reliable, the content is weak or primary source material. The Billboard, DJ Mag and YourEDM sources are essentially the same thing, and are reporting on a video made by Mr. Wallbridge in which he talks about how he supposedly produced ten no. 1 records on Beatport and why he isn't going to be a ghost producer any more – that's a primary source, and there is no means of verifying his claims in the video. The Dancing Astronaut hits are mostly passing mentions of the "Ashley Wallbridge has a new record out" type. My concern is that even if the article is rewritten, we don't really have anything much more than "Ashley Wallbridge is a DJ and producer who has made lots of records, some of them in collaboration with other producers, and none of them have ever charted on any national chart. He also claims to have made ten records that made number one on a non-notable chart, although his claims cannot be verified." Richard3120 ( talk) 16:03, 9 July 2018 (UTC) reply
True, I agree that we cannot get very far with the content available as of now. Recently, I wrote a section here on Gareth Emery's page that discussed about CVNT5, a satire project that Wallbridge and him decided to do together in 2016. It's not much, but still counts as content for the Wallbridge page. Is it notable enough to save this page? aNode (discuss) 05:21, 11 July 2018 (UTC) reply

The article may be making valid points, but that is not the role of Wikipedia and its editors. They are expressly prohibited from making points if there isn't a source that has made that exact point that they are citing. Any list of apocryphal DNB pages would be subjective, in terms of what degree of modification rises to the level of making an entry apocryphal. Likewise, there are innumerable old books that contain errors, and lots of instances where newer editions correct material in older editions, but this does not a valid topic make - it is not Wikipedia's role to point out errors in old books by comparing a new edition to an old one. Agricolae ( talk) 08:45, 6 July 2018 (UTC) reply
In a nutshell, to have a list 'List of apocryphal biographies', we need sources that say 'this biography is apocryphal' (and preferably one that says 'these biographies are apocryphal' to indicate that the subject is notable) - we don't get to decide based on criteria that we ourselves have arbitrarily set what represents an 'apocryphal biography' and what doesn't, as would be required by such a page or list, any more than we get to decide which biographies are poorly written, which biographies contain bias, etc., without an explicit statement to that effect in a source.

You say there is enough coverage of these items, but just about all of the examples currently listed are editor-generated, comparing the two editions of DNB and deciding that the difference renders the original version apocryphal - pure WP:Original Research. I don't think anyone is questioning that some of the accounts in the original DNB were problematic, that is part of the reason they did a new edition, but the fact that recent editors found errors in a 19th century compendium is hardly noteworthy, let alone worth a page identifying ones that some editor deems eggregious.

  • Keep but rename -- I do not see why Kirkman Finlay should be "apocryphal". Gentleman's Magazine is as good a source as a newspaper, but his notability may be less than once through. MacDuff may indeed be a literary invention: it is a question of how far Shakespeare went beyond his sources. Brus may well be a real person but NN, save by inheritance. "Dubious" might be a better epithet than Apocryphal. However, the question is what to do with the content, which is a historiographic discussion of three items, none of which appear to have a substantive WP article. Merging to the DNB article would unbalance it; or leave a list with no adequate explanation of its significance. A mere list would provide no opportunity for the necessary historiography to appear in WPO. The criterion for inclusion may be articles in original DNB that were not carried forward to ODNB. Almost all articles were carried forward to ODNB: some were rewritten largely from scratch; others were amended; some were merged into "family" articles.

  • Delete - the only notability comes from the texting incident and the fallout, including him resigning. The coverage and related interest of this incident, which is primarily regional in nature, partially stems from the Zeitgeist, which lumps this in with other more notable scandals that were much more harmful, such as Larry Nassar's. That doesn't make this one more notable. I don't see serving as the director of the college band or school symphony as being notable, without associated coverage and reliable sources. The latter items fail WP:GNG. This is clearly a case of WP:BLP1E. I just made some edits to correct misleading and incorrect info, but don't see this being notable enough to keep.

The result was delete. It's rare that I think that I need to overrule a numerical majority (15:6 per the autocount) on the basis of strength of argument, but this is such a case. The "keep" opinions are almost all variations on the theme of "anybody who is among the oldest persons is automatically notable". Howewer, our WP:BIO inclusion guidelines do not provide for an automatic assumption of notability in such cases, as they do e.g. for certain politicians. A search of the guideline talk page archives indicates that there has been repeated discussion about adding such a presumption of notability, but no proposal has ever obtained consensus. That being the case, the very solid community-wide consensus about who is (or not) presumed to be notable by virtue of some personal characteristic cannot be overruled by local consensus at this AfD (see WP:CONLEVEL), and I need to discount almost all "keep" opinions as being at odds with established guidelines. I advise those who wanted to keep this article to start a WP:RFC about whether consensus has changed and certain very old people should now presumed to be notable.

  • Keep - Being the oldest person in the world is indeed notable, & the article appears to have the requisite number of citations to support notability. Regarding WP:1EVENT, "When an individual is significant for his or her role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both."

  • Keep The logic that having been the oldest person in the world for "only a few months" makes her non-notable is flawed, since she was the oldest person in Kanagawa for a lot longer than that, and she is currently the eighth oldest person ever (the highest person on that list not to have a standalone article is #26, who is one of only four named individuals in the top 50 not to be linked). The article does need work, though, since "のんきにすること" does not translate to "eating eel, drinking red wine, and never smoking" ( this source doesn't appear to mention smoking, mentions simply that she likes wine -- not "red" wine -- and eel, and does not say anything about what she attributes her longevity to; then again, it is cut off mid-sentence so it's possible the second page verifies all that content).

  • Comment Up till now, all "keep" !votes are non-policy based, but are different versions of WP:ILIKEIT, with unfounded claims that just being very old makes somebody inherently notable. However, even if we would accept that this person is notable, look at the article. There is absolutely nothing of encyclopedic interest in there apart from birth/death dates and places, which very easily can be accomodated in the List of the verified oldest people. Look at the references. I mean, really, look at them. The one in the Mirror, for example. All we learn from that "article" is that her family called her a "chatty godess" and that she liked sushi and eel. Or the Japan Times, which devotes two (2) whole sentences to Miyako, part of those talking about her predecessor and then talking about the current oldest persons. No biographical info whatsoever apart from the already mentioned birth/death dates and places. So, really? Is that really the kind of material that we'd like to build a biography on? The fact is that we have nothing to write about Miyako and given that more coverage is unlikely to follow, we'll never get beyond her liking for eel. -- Randykitty ( talk) 07:25, 29 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • I've removed two of the references (one she isn't mentioned and another was used twice). There's also one source (ref 2) that tells us the following about her: "The 116-year-old Chiyo Miyako lives in Kanagawa, Japan." I'm not kidding... CommanderLinx ( talk) 09:54, 29 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete and/or Redirect to this table (better redirect target) at the Oldest People article where she is appropriately listed. WP:NOPAGE and WP:PERMASTUB should almost certainly apply here. Despite the presence of NINE SEVEN sources, they tell us nothing of interest other than the absolute bare basics: her name, that she was born, she became the oldest in the world, and then she died. Throwing in some fluffy longevity trivia that strains to pad this article (oldest in her prefecture, she ate eel) means this article is never going to expand what can easily be summarised in a list/table somewhere.

  • Redirect to List of the verified oldest people per CommanderLinx. I struck my opinion above as this isn't going to be speedily closed, commander's argument swayed me here. What is the reader taking away from the article other than she was born, became the oldest person in the world, and then died? - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 15:44, 29 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep being the oldest person alive is a powerful claim of notabilty, as is being #8 on the list of the oldest people who ever lived. The basic facts are verified and editors who can read Japanese sources can improve the article. As for redirecting to List of the verified oldest people, that is a bad idea since there is no prose about the individuals on that list. Consider the case of Emma Verona Johnston mentioned as an example by the nominator above. That redirects to List of supercentenarians from the United States, where there are three paragraphs of prose about her life. Why should we have three paragraphs of prose about an American woman who lived to 114 but no prose at all about a Japanese woman who lived to 117 and was the oldest person in the world? That defies logic. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 21:59, 29 July 2018 (UTC) reply
    @ Cullen328: Could it be that we have three paragraphs about Johnston because there are reliable sources to support that content, but no reliable sources about Miyako that go beyond place and date of birth, place and date of death, period when she was the oldest living person, and her appreciation for eel, wine, and calligraphy? This discussion would be snow closed as keep if sources were presented that supported a decent (if short) biography, I suspect. EdChem ( talk) 06:03, 30 July 2018 (UTC) reply
    I have no problem whatsoever with a brief article based on the information that is now in the sources, and editors who read Japanese can expand the article. For example, the article does not now mention her husband and the fact that his railroad job allowed her to travel extensively. We have plenty of articles about Olympic athletes of 100 years ago that are very brief as well. Olympic athletes are notable and Wikipedia ought to have biographies of them, and the world's oldest people too. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:14, 30 July 2018 (UTC) reply
    FYI, I have re-written the Johnston piece into one paragraph, adding several references, and it is clear to me that there are others to be found. She did a videotaped interview that was used as part of a book on centenarians and was written up for her involvement in supporting education for women.

  • Randykitty, "silly" is your subjective opinion which I do not share and "permastub" is deletionist slang that has no basis in policy.

  • Slang it may be, but it is very much based in policy. WP:N (at WP:NOPAGE) has this to say about "permanent stubs": "Sometimes, when a subject is notable, but it is unlikely that there ever will be a lot to write about it, editors should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of creating a permanent stub." (Linking to the essay WP:Permastub. -- Randykitty ( talk) 16:36, 30 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • No, Randykitty, WP:N is not policy; it is a guideline. We have only three core content policies, which are verifiability, no original research and the neutral point of view. This article is in full compliance with those three core content policies. Also, the article is not a permastub because it does not include any information about her marriage, her husband's railroad career and their travels together, all discussed in reliable sources. When I expand the article to include that information, the "permastub" argument will be null and void. Also worth noting is that neither the guideline language at WP:NOPAGE nor the essay WP:PERMASTUB calls for the deletion of such stubs. The essay point out that paper encyclopedias are full of such stubs, which can be entirely appropriate. As for weighing the advantages and disadvantages of this particular article, it should be clear to you that many highly experienced editors disagree with this deletion attempt. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 00:01, 31 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Reply to DerbyCountyinNZ. Your sarcasm is unhelpful. Lack of compliance with a subject-specific notability guideline does not mean that an article should be deleted. Many topic areas are not covered by subject-specific notability guidelines. Being the oldest person in the world is a powerful claim of notability and if you cannot see that, then all I can do is to encourage you to re-think your position.

  • Comment The rationale for this deletion debate is flawed because it relies on the argument that the article is "unencyclopedic", whatever that means. According to Arguments to avoid in deletion debates, a widely respected essay, "the terms 'unencyclopedic', and its flip-side 'encyclopedic', are too general to be useful in deletion discussions". We do not delete articles based on the vague and general personal opinions of the nominator. I also object to the use of the term "fancruft" by the nominator in this debate. According to our essay on fancruft, "The term 'fancruft' is most commonly applied to fictional works and pop culture." Chiyo Miyako was a real human being and not the subject of popular culture. Describing her biography as "fancruft" is disrespectful and inappropriate. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 00:46, 31 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Chiyo Miyako was the 8th oldest person who ever lived. Every other person who was in the top 16 has their own WP article. The oldest person who doesn't have their own article, Ana Maria Vela Rubio, was well over a year younger than Chiyo Miyako when she died. Also, every single oldest living person since November 2003 has their own article. Precedent says that we keep this one. 1779Days ( talk) 05:49, 31 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • No its not a policy or guideline, but that and WP:WAX are used by the community as convincing arguments. I keep seeing keep arguments point to other articles, but not directly answering the main concern. What is the reader taking away from this article? - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 13:53, 31 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • I think discussions about consistency are valid & should not be lightly dismissed. This ought to be considered, though not in a complete absence of other factors. Regarding what the reader takes away from this particular article, anyone who is researching the 25 oldest people ever (as defined from List of the verified oldest people) ought to be able to find this information easily. Perhaps the reader wants to know about diet, health habits, marital status, country of birth & residence, etc. I certainly do. The key to notability for Chiyo Miyako is that less than 20 people out of billions have lived beyond 115 years. As per a common definition wiktionary:notable#Etymology_2, notable is "Worthy of notice; remarkable; memorable; noted or distinguished." Living to 117 is notable; I cannot understanding why anyone would think that it is not notable. That Chiyo Miyako may have lived an otherwise unnotable life is irrelevant to the fact that she is one of a unique group to have lived so long. Indeed, it may be that because she lived what may be appear to be a dull life to many may precisely be why she lived to 117. That deserves to be something that any reader who is interested then should be able to find easily. For me, that is the purpose of an encyclopedia, to be comprehensive. Peaceray ( talk) 16:27, 31 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • I'm afraid you are making the classical error of taking the dictionary definition of notable, whereas here at WP, the word "notable" has a very definite, but different, meaning. Please see WP:N for a more complete exposé. -- Randykitty ( talk) 17:19, 31 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • When the second paragraph of Wikipedia:Notability states Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice", I find Randykitty's assertion to be disingenuous. But let's continue with most of the General notability guideline criteria for argument's sake.
  • "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content.checkY (No original research here)
  • "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline.checkY
  • "Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.checkY
  • "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it.checkY
I fail to find that en.Wikipedia's notability criteria is at variance with the common sense understanding of notability. I believe that Chiyo Miyako fits the criteria for notability guidelines.

  • Ah, yes, that would buttress my earlier point. We are not going to see diet, health habits, marital status, & place of birth covered in List of the verified oldest people, are we? Those are all questions of importance to readers interested in gerontology. Therefore the answers to the WP:NOPAGE questions Does other information provide needed context? & Do related topics provide needed context? would be no, indicating a separate article is warranted. Peaceray ( talk) 19:42, 31 July 2018 (UTC) reply
(Refraining from sarcasm with difficulty). Given that the average gerontology fan is interested in huge amounts of trivia (as witnessed in a certain off-wiki forum) I wouldn't be surprised if they were interested in such "important" questions, however I doubt that the average reader with a passing interest in the oldest people (rather than gerontology in general) would be as concerned. In any case the info inthe article as it stands could easily be incorporated into List of Japanese supercentenarians#People as has been done in other cases where the subject did not merit a stand-alone article. Your argument on this basis is not convincing. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 04:08, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply
DerbyCountyinNZ, the rub here is that all the information that is of interest of a casual reader interested in gerontology (diet, health habits, marital status, place of birth, & the fact that someone was the eldest person alive at the time of their death) is all information that could easily be represented in an infobox or an expandable list, & not much to flush out beyond the bones of an article. My professional life has included designing databases (I am all about that lossless-join thing) & being a reference librarian, both occupations that are about preserving information of interest. The real solution would be to put all this info into Wikidata then pull it into Wikipedia via modules or templates to produce a directory-like listing either in an expandaded list or a standalone article. While many other language Wikipedias embrace this, unfortunately English Wikipedia has been very resistant to this, although I think an individual project like WOP could initiate it on its own. Come up with a way of presenting Rank, Name, Sex, Birth date, Death date, Age, Place of death, Place of residence, Place of birth, Marital status, brief description of diet, brief description of health habits, & an indicator if someone was the eldest person alive at the time of their death, then I do not really care whether it is a stand-alone article or a list. The only reason we have stand-alone articles for many of these folks is that the current lists are inadequate for the task. Peaceray ( talk) 16:18, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep While understanding WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, everyone else that lived to be over 115 has an article. I don't know what probability that is to live to be that old, but it's pretty small. I consider her notable. -A lad insane  (Channel 2) 23:35, 31 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Not even close to being correct. Two people in the current List of the verified oldest people do not have articles, and three are redirects to mini-bios in their respective country lists, all of those bios having (arguably?) more content than the current Miyako article. Apart from that even the GRG admits that "not all supercentenarians are known to researchers at a given time", so it is not "everyone else that lived to be over 115" it is only those listed here (which is a clone of the GRG list). DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 04:01, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Neither Giuseppina Projetto nor Ana María Vela Rubio are in the top ten for longevity. Chiyo Miyako sits at #8. Also, another piece of information that gets lost if Chiyo Miyako was subsumed into the list is that she was the eldest person alive at the time of her death. That is not captured in List of the verified oldest people & is an additional argument for keeping this as its own article. Peaceray ( talk) 02:41, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per Peaceray's argument above on notability as "worthy of notice" as less than 20 people out of billions [are known to] have lived beyond 115 years. There will be significant information lost if this page is deleted or redirected. The information contained within is of interest to a significant portion of our readers interested in longevity. (Not me, I plan on dying young! Living to old age is my nightmare.) And the subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources.---  Coffeeand crumbs 01:38, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply
    • The "significant information" lost if redirected to oldest people is she had a husband who travelled and she ate eel. And it being WP:INTERESTING is not a reason to keep. Again with WP:NOPAGE this article is never going to expand beyond what is easily summarised in a list. CommanderLinx ( talk) 05:48, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. Without delving into the depths of the Longevity issues on Wikipedia, here is a point that those in the "of course the world's oldest person is notable" camp might like to consider. Who says she is/was the world's oldest person? Simple right? Guinness "confirmed" this just before her death. End of story. Wrong! Guinness has previously stated that someone was the WOP, only to later to retract that attribution ( Shigechyo Izumi). That was back when they did their own research. Now they (AFAIK) let the GRG do all their longevity research. So, no problem you might think. In this case when Nabi Tajima died the next oldest "verified" person was Miyako, as was reported widely in WP:RS. And the GRG is more reliable than other sources in this matter right? Except that Elizabeth Bolden was announced to be the WOP by both Guinness and the GRG only for the later identification of María Capovilla to be older. In addition the GRG has previously listed people as verified but with a question mark most of whom were eventually removed, while Mathew Beard was eventually "confirmed" to be "validated". In addition at one point the GRG (through Robert Young) insisted that an English supercentenarian had died when a relative insisted on Wikipedia that she had not. The GRG was in error. So just how reliable IS the GRG??? Two successive RFCs here determined that no preference be given to the GRG over other reliable sources when it comes to the List of oldest living people. Given the edits/rationale behind the edits to List of oldest living people and Chiyo Miyako on July 25 (I have to note the multiple violations of WP:V, WP:RS, WP:BLP and WP:CONSENSUS and WP:EW for the edits I reverted in both cases), I have to wonder if the GRG should even be a considered a WP:RS at all. Are other editors still happy to blindly follow the GRG and Guinness when it comes to "verified" oldest (living) people? And if so surely it would be appropriate to define exactly what criteria determines notability in such cases. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 04:38, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Response You raise interesting questions, DerbyCountyinNZ, but those questions cannot possibly be resolved in an AfD debate about an individual article. As for the reliability of "GRG and Guinness", we rely on widely acceptable reliable sources to do that work of evaluating reliability for us. In this case, the accuracy of the facts reported by Guinness were evaluated and republished by the Associated Press and then by dozens of reliable sources worldwide. I recall Time magazine, the Washington Post, and Newsweek magazine, among many others. It is not Wikipedia's job to reject the reporting of reliable sources worldwide about supercentennarians or any other topic. It is our job to summarize those sources, accurately and concisely. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:55, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply
(Rushed). The point is that there are other Reliable Sources who claim that someone else is or might be the WOP. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 05:27, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply
Well, obviously, DerbyCountyinNZ, if sources as reliable as the Associated Press and the Washington Post article exist and assert that she was not actually the verifiable oldest person in the world, then those sources should both be brought to the debate and added to the article. Please produce those sources discussing Chiyo Miyako now, and explain why they are reliable. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:34, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply
Explain "why they are reliable"? Surely the onus is on users to explain which sources are NOT reliable? Every current entry in Longevity claims#Recent is as far as I am aware (though I have not checked, it's too much of a fanfluff page for me to be that bothered) reliably sourced. I would certainly have removed them if I thought they failed WP:RS. And as one of the criteria for inclusion is that they be claimed to be older than the "verified" oldest living person, then any one of them could in fact be the WOP. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 11:57, 1 August 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete This article provides nothing of encyclopedic value that cannot be found on lists in other articles. Information like, "She credited eating eel, drinking red wine, and never smoking for her longevity" is pure fancruft (as well as being unfounded original research provided by Miyako herself - despite the statement being sourced, in a sense, at heart it really is self-published, which is another violation of Wikipedia policy) and has no encyclopedic value, nor does the fact that she and her husband traveled a lot thanks to his railroad job. Longevity is not a contest, so there does not need to be a fancruft article for every new worlds oldest person. This article should be deleted. Newshunter12 ( talk) 07:33, 4 August 2018 (UTC) reply

The result was keep. Lots of opinions here, which I'll summarize as: The keep camp is arguing that this clearly meets WP:LISTN, while the delete camp counters by saying this clearly does not meet WP:LISTN. I don't see any particularly killer arguments on either side, so I'm largely going with head count. Many people have pointed out that this could use better sourcing and curation.

This " List of breakfast foods" is yet another food & beverage related list with same or similar indefinite reach, scoping, and definition problems as
- " List of foods by calorie" (Deleted by AfD)
- " List of breakfast drinks" (Keept by 1'st AfD, likely Deletes by 2'nd AfD)
Note: Such (e.g. the above 3) kind of anything-goes lists stand in contrast to a list like " List of breakfast cereals", which does have tight scope: "breakfast cereals" is a commonly accepted classification of food products, and the actually foods under said classification, are all fairly exclusively eaten at breakfast.

You joke, saying "Ha"...this is a list of foods, etc. above, and then after that started adding various foods to the list ( diff, diff, diff, diff, diff). You also didn't add any sources to verify that these are common breakfast foods.

  • Keep, obviously. I fail to understand the thinking behind this nomination. We have an article, Breakfast, and this list article supports the main article by providing a verified list of the notable foods eaten at breakfast around the world. It is quite normal for encyclopedias to include information such as the types of food eaten at breakfast. This list does what Wikipedia does best, and creates a useful long list of such foods, rather than limit it to a few examples within the text. See, for example, Encyclopedia.com which contains embedded lists of breakfast foods: "In India, it might mean flatbread with cardamom-scented tea or steamed dumplings with a spicy sauce and coconut chutney (Sahni, p. 104). Mexicans eat huevos rancheros, or scrambled eggs with chilies and salsa, or even menudo, braised tripe, and burritos. In Saudi Arabia, families eat eggs, baked beans, cheese, olives, and ma'soub, or pancakes with bananas, but are also including American cereals." A Google search for "List of breakfast food" returns thousands of such lists. Difficult to get at the thinking behind this nomination. SilkTork ( talk) 16:48, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply

I have a phrase on my user page which may assist your thinking: "We are not the internet, we are an encyclopaedia. The difference being: we select, organise, and explain." We may wander in a disorganised world where nothing appears to makes sense. However, reference books and encyclopedias help to frame the world so we can better understand it. There are certain foods which are commonly eaten at breakfast, and these vary around the world. Some people may not know that, which is why it is useful to have a list of such foods. The intention of the list to to help people understand what foods are typically eaten for breakfast. It is up to each of us to make what we will of the opportunity offered by such information, but deleting information because someone doesn't understand the concept is not the right approach. If someone fails to understand the purpose or jurisdiction of a list, then what we need to do is to make it clearer to them. Removing the list is not the right approach as it doesn't inform the ignorant, only makes the ignorance worse. SilkTork ( talk) 17:05, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The topic obviously passes WP:LISTN and I'll list some sources for avoidance of doubt. The suggestion that breakfast cereals are the only such food which can be listed is ridiculous. Different cultures have their traditional favourites – the full English; the croissant; congee, &c. - and it's easy to find sources which list these such as Traditional breakfasts from around the world. Here's a list of books on the subject and they all naturally list many foods, dishes and drinks. Andrew D. ( talk) 16:55, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment – WP:LISTCRUFT is an opinion essay, not a guideline or policy. Regarding the notion of WP:REDUNDANTFORK, the Lists of foods article is essentially a lists of lists and main topics article; due to the high number of foods in existence, the Lists of foods article is limited to being organized categorically, based upon the main subcategories within the Foods category page, along with information about primary topics and list article links. It's unclear how this article could be considered as a redundant content fork, because very few of the entries in the list of breakfast foods article are listed on the list page.

  • Delete and curated merge to Breakfast. I don't see a simple bulleted list like this as being a particularly useful article or a notable topic as a list; it is currently quite indiscriminate (shrimp? tongue? Sure people around the world can eat them in the morning, but that doesn't make them breakfast foods by themselves) and as shown the the books linked above, hard to pare down especially with a global viewpoint. There are so many redundancies like variations of eggs and regional pastries all listed separately, making it this rather listcrufty and pointless, but the main article could definitely use some improvement with more examples in places and possibly consolidation by similar regions rather than a section for every country.

  • Keep but seriously rework. I'm not impressed by any of the breakfast-related articles I've seen on Wikipedia* but this subject - unlike List of breakfast drinks - can, I believe, be made into something encyclopaedic. Breakfast is a distinct meal - when restaurants offer an "all day breakfast menu" there is a clear and understood set of items on offer, different from the remaining fare. Therefore, it is reasonable to have an article that covers that. But a British (cooked) breakfast is quite different from a European (mostly uncooked) breakfast is quite different from an American breakfast, etc. The article could (and, IMO, should) discuss that and list examples of items in distinct sets. A purely alphabetical list of a zillion items all mixed up, which we currently have, is useless and indiscriminate and should be reworked - but I don't think it is necessary to delete and start again; this can be fixed by editing.

Such list-based articles have a place on WP per WP:CLN.

Because of its broadness, I would like to oppose merge of the list of breakfast cereals, and suggest that if in the future, the list be split by nationality, culture, or some other logical division, since seeing as "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been.", the list may become untenably large, and shorter lists may better serve the purpose of navigation.—  Alpha3031 ( t· c) 08:58, 3 August 2018 (UTC) reply

North America 1000 11:24, 29 July 2018 (UTC) reply
    But it's scope is too wide and fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Also see WP:NOTDIR "Simple listings without context information. Examples include, but are not limited to: listings of business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, store locations, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions and tourist attractions. Information about relevant single entries with encyclopedic information should be added as sourced prose. Lists of creative works in a wider context are permitted." Common selection criteria also states "Criteria for inclusion should factor in encyclopedic and topical relevance, not just verifiable existence. For example, all known species within a taxonomic family are relevant enough to include in a list of them; but List of Norwegian musicians would not be encyclopedically useful if it indiscriminately included every garage band mentioned in a local Norwegian newspaper."

Subject fails WP:VICTIM and WP:BLP1E (Note: as a recent death BLP still applies.) Coverage of the subject overwhelmingly revolves around his alleged murder.

Nomination withdrawn The coverage before his death that I was able to access from the table below (two of the links I was unable to access) did not impress me. Of those I was able to read only the first was actually about the subject. The other three were about the project and the subject was mostly just providing background. However the first one was in fact significant in depth coverage which counts toward establishing WP:N. Importantly though, the coverage of his death is both significant, and global. I am satisfied on that basis that there is enough overall overage to ring the WP:N bell.

I don't see the point of having an article about things that never happened. Also, some of the sources cited are not reliable (e.g. personal communication). ... discospinster talk 15:04, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Delete. Reading the request here, I immediately thought WP:BALL. Looking at the article, that's not exactly what it is: most of the items are appearances by guests that were announced or reported somewhere but did not actually happen, and the detailed text does make that clear. It might make sense to add a section to the main article like "announced guest starts who did not actually appear", perhaps a table, with only the material from this article that's properly cited; or mercilessly clean up this article, and come up with a better title; but I'm not saying that's a precondition for deletion, either.

Non-notable actress. The cited sources exhibit none of the characteristics of reliable sources or lack independence (TV channels touting their own shows). All lack significant coverage.

None of the following have a reputation for accuracy and fact-checking: modelsfashionpk.com, pakistani.pk, awamiweb.com, springmediabubble.com, pakistanidramahd.com, dramaguru.net, dramalyrics.com, festbyte.com, moviesplatter.com, tv.com.pk, pakistani.pk, and hipinpakistan.com. They appear to be mostly self-published or group blogs, with no indication of editorial oversight. Modelsfashionpk offers to let models "configure his/her biography details". Pakistani.pk lets users register and add listings. Festbyte also accepts user-submitted content. Hipinpakistan encourages readers to contribute articles.

Draft:Kiran Tabeer(Pakistani actress) was declined for the above reasons at Articles for creation. The author had asserted that "there are few [newspaper or magazine references] but all in Urdu". They were informed that it would be fine to cite any reliable Urdu sources that exist, but that the English sources above are not reliable and should be removed. Instead they copied and pasted the draft to article space (minus the AfC decline and comments) and had the draft deleted.

Without significant coverage in reliable sources, does not meet WP:GNG. According to the article, her current TV role is her first lead one. The show has a Wikipedia article, but it is flagged for notability (its only source is the TV channel that airs it). The other three shows in which she has had lesser parts and that have Wikipedia articles are also flagged for notability. With only one significant role and appearances only in shows of questionable notability, does not satisfy WP:NACTOR either. Worldbruce ( talk) 14:59, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Hi! I would like to tell you that I included new references from Dawn, Geo and other reliable sites. So, I will remove those sources which you asked to be unreliable. And also, the actress's lead role is not the serial she is currently working in. She performed many lead roles before too. I would also like to state that the sources which you told me that are unreliable have been quoted by me after discussing it with other experienced users who edit articles related to the same topic. For example, Sarah Khan and Maham Amir have the same sites as mine. So why only my article has been nominated for deletion? Thank you Knightrises10 ( talk) 15:19, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Actors are not something that would be expected to have an article on English Wikipedia, unless they have done leading roles in soaps, films et cetera and I can't find a single RS which verifies that she has had major roles in TV soaps.

  • comment There is, or at least was, an assertion of importance, so G7 doesn't apply. It's in Wikipedia's best interest to let the AfD run its course. The topic was created in 2016, and at least three times so far in 2018 (in draft and article space). Editors who don't follow our policies and guidelines are likely to keep creating the topic. Let's get consensus on the record that at this time these are the best sources available, and they don't demonstrate notability. Then any future article can be speedily G4'd unless its sourcing clearly improves on this effort. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 16:48, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Free Lebanon State

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

The one citation that is used to prove that it exists, doesn't actually mention the term "Free Lebanon State" There is little to no proof that it exists, outside of one opinion article from gulfnews which doesn't cite anything, the one book that mentions it that provides a citation cites Azar and Haddad (1986) and hanf (1993), but this is very vague. I couldn't find either Azar and Haddad 1986, nor hanf 1993. Hopefully I am wrong here, but due to the very limited evidence that it existed, the actual article by free-lebbanon that the article provides is fairly sketchy as a citation for the existence of a State and doesn't mention the existence of such a State specifically anyway, I am under the impression that the "Free Lebanon State" never was actually a thing. There is actually a few citations on the Hebrew page, but the one actual thing that it really provided as a citation was a book called "בעין הסערה - חמישים שנה בשירות מולדתי לבנון" which I found actually exists, though not much else on it specifically. The Arabic article cites the same thing the English article does, and the Português article cites 2 books for the States existence, one of which is the one I mentioned earlier, the other one is a book that doesn't cite the claim at all, and merely marks it as a date.

UPDATE: My mistake, I found some other books, that talk about it after afd'ing it. Sorry everyone, though a quick note, if you search for books, the vast majority of them are false positives for some reason, but there are way more than 2 that actually talk about it, though some are clearly biased, there does seem to be some more proof that it existed. When I originally searched, I just looked at the Wikipedia citations, news and a general search, and a google books search without quotations, and only the first 2 results mentioned it, the rest I assumed were all false positives.

She's even prominent enough to have been mentioned in the 2016 SAGE Handbook of Digital Journalism.

Keep. Vivint is big enough/covered enough/sued enough (?) that its co-founder is notable, and can be covered in a stand-alone article. I might have a bit of bias, however, so take my !vote as very weak: I know someone who's an employee. DavidLeeLambert ( talk) 14:52, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Keep. I was glad to find the article after a Vivint salesman appeared at my door. That was my comment as what I presume to be a "typical" Wikipedia user. Now, for some comments as a Tutnum: The man is CEO and co-founder of a $2B company that we have an article on. The arena the Utah Jazz play in is 3 years into a 10-yr. Vivint naming contract; the man appeared on a prime-time CBS show; he's covered in the media; all that's notable. -- YoPienso ( talk) 03:12, 29 July 2018 (UTC) reply

I think this particular article is useful for users of Origin but doesn't fulfill notability because it is just a list of a particular class of freely given-away games from a particular brand, and therefore should either be deleted or changed.

Quoting the below from WP:NPROF ‘Note that as this is a guideline and not a rule, exceptions may well exist. Some academics may not meet any of these criteria, but may still be notable for their academic work. It is important to note that it is very difficult to make clear requirements in terms of numbers of publications or their quality’’ As per the guidelines, individual does not need to follow all criteria.

  • Comment: the general test for notability is whether there has been significant discussion of the individual or his research. His research might be timely and important from a social point of view, but that is not relevant to a notability discussion here. Yes it's been cited by others, but that's true of all professors. Notability means that others have noted his work, or himself, and not just cited as a matter of course. I've been cited too but nobody has written anything about me (in reliable sources anyway), so I wouldn't be notable for the purposes of a Wikipedia article. Profs can also pass the notability test if they are a fellow of an academic society or hold a named chair at an institution. ... discospinster talk 13:16, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment: In other words, Cavalryman V31 has no citations, references or knowledge to support the assertion that Dr. David Leavitt is a backyard breeder.

IQ125, thank you for your response. This link confirms that the Leavitt Bulldog and the Olde English Bulldogge are in fact the same breed. As for your other links:
1. Supports that they are the same breed as the Olde English Bulldogge.
2. Is a mere mention in an article and does not establish this as anything other than a line of OEBs.
3. Is not a reliable source but still supports that they are the same as the OEB (until a reputable organisation like the UKC recognise the name change then it remains un-notable).
4. Supports that they are simply a line of OEBs.
5. States emphatically that the Leavitt Bulldog is a line of the OEB, something I have already covered above with this edit.
6. States the Leavitt Bulldog Association as one of two parent clubs of the OEB breed (along with the Olde English Bulldogge Kennel Club), again confirming they are in fact OEBs, something I have already covered below with this edit.
Everything you have shown me confirms the Leavitt Bulldog is in fact simply a line of the recognised (and notable) Olde English Bulldogges. Do you propose this page be merged into Olde English Bulldogge? Kind regards, Cavalryman V31 ( talk) 05:04, 23 July 2018 (UTC). reply
Comment - Unfortunately, Cavalryman V31 has proven himself to be a deletionist editor at Wikipedia. Deletionists are very harmful to Wikipedia as they attempt to delete even well written and well reference articles, as is the case with this article. This is my final words on this matter. IQ125 ( talk) 11:49, 23 July 2018 (UTC) reply
IQ125, I have tried to find some reliable sources to improve this page but cannot, all sources I (and you) can find indicate this is no more than a line of the Olde English Bulldogge. Cavalryman V31 ( talk) 12:28, 24 July 2018 (UTC). reply
  • The Leavitt Bulldog is an UKC recognized breed: This deletion procedure absurd. Its only started by haters. The Leavitt Bulldog is just being broadcast in March of this year on the BBC in a program '''Saving the British Bulldog''' with Catherine Tate [24] see at 42.37 [25]. The discussion is going on now since April 2014 [26]. The wikidogs scaled the breed to a C class wich is low but still approved by them. [27]. There was and is no notability issue only haters who are childish and giving fine people like yourselves extra nonsense work to do.So please delete the deletion procedure and keep the article. User:BarryS75 — BarryS75 has made no other edits outside this topic.
BarryS75, can you provide any WP:RS citing this is anything other than a line of Olde English Bulldogge? Because currently there is I can find nothing that indicates this page meets Wikipedia's notability policy. The UKC does recognise these dogs as an established breed on their webpage and a further reliable source I could find describes these dogs as Olde English Bulldogges, and the Leavitt Bulldog Association as one of two parent clubs of the Olde English Bulldogges breed (along with the Olde English Bulldogge Kennel Club). [2] I certainly do not hate these dogs, they are very handsome and healthy looking animals, I am simply questioning the notability of this line of Olde English Bulldogges beyond a mention in the OEB article.

The article is largely WP:OR or WP:INUNIVERSE and gives undue weight to extremely obscure fictional currencies. I see no encyclopedic reason for the list to exist, as the amount of notable fictional currencies with their own articles is so low that they can be counted on one hand, and can be integrated into Fictional currency.

  • Delete This is so many different kinds of cruft that I don't even want to list them, and there is no practical encyclopedic reason to have such a list. Also, it's very difficult to find reliable secondary sources covering this stuff since the money used is usually such a background detail in these properties hat even "reliable" sources have no choice put to pull details out of their noses. Presumably when Palpatine took over and established the Galactic Empire, he had the old currency recalled and reissued to such an extent as was feasible, and kept doing so over subsequent decades, but maybe the "Republic credits" mentioned in the prequel trilogy are actually just the same thing as the "Imperial credits" mentioned in the original trilogy, and you'd be surprised how many fan sources are so convinced they have the answer that they take it as a given. The same is true for virtually every other entry that could be listed. I don't know a lot of fantasy or sci-fi works created by professional economists, but I imagine they'd be the only ones we could actually write anything about. Andrew's reliance above on click-baity top ten lists only highlights this problem, and I am legitimately surprised he could append a "keep" !vote to such a comment with a straight face. Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 04:32, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Just to give some more examples: for all the information given in Rick and Morty, those three currencies are all the same, or different units of the same currency equivalent to cents, dimes, nickles, dollars... and you will never find a reliable secondary source that elaborates on this. The "fictional currency" in Naruto is not "ryõ" but " ryō", a real historical Japanese currency that is incorporated into the fictional Naruto universe in the same way multiple other real-world elements are (it's one of "those" fictional settings where it's not entirely clear if it is set in a highly fictionalized version of the real world or in a purely fictional world with a large number of anachronistic elements that could only exist in the real world because of very specific historical circumstances). The "Lien" in RWBY, which was clearly heavily influenced by Naruto, might just be the Wu Chinese pronunciation of the same character. Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 04:45, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply

Zachary Taylor Wood

Zachary Taylor Wood (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am nominating Zachary Taylor Wood for deletion because I am led to beleive that this person may be the same person as Stuart Wood. I say this because there are no sources showing him as a separate person, and the RCMP's list of former Commissioners does not include him, but does include Stuart. There is also a grave, shown here: http://www.rcmpgraves.com/commissioner/wood.html, showing the name "Stuart Zachary Taylor Wood" on the headstone. According to the RCMP site, as I stated above, ( http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/former-rcmp-commissionershttp://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/former-rcmp-commissioners), Stuart is the only member of the Wood family to serve in the top rank, and no sources have contradicted this to date. Likewise, all of our sources have shown the Stuart Wood's father was John Taylor Wood, not Zachary. (This article states that John Taylor Wood is Zachary Taylor's father as well, which would be impossible, if Stuart is supposedly Zachary's son). I have been unable to locate any publication confirming Zachary Taylor Wood's existance, only that of Stuart Zachary Taylor Wood. All this leads me to beleive that this is a duplicate article created out of confusion somewhere, given that Stuart Zachary's name seems to get varied from site to site, which may have caused the misconception. I previously nominated this article for WP:Speedy, under WP:A10 on two occasions, however both were unsuccessful due to unsourced objections from other editors, hence I've brought it here, suggesting that we either Merge it with Stuart Wood, and/or Delete it altogether.

  • Keep as I think they´re different people, and suppose you go on with the discussion of the identity without directly requesting a deletion if need be. For example the page you brought up for the grave (rcmpgraves) has a page about Stuart stating Zachary to be the father, putting him as Assistant Commissioner, which would make clear why not being listed as Commissioner, right over here. A quick google search brings the same information (father of the later and Assistant) in several books and on several pages. More importantly, Zachary is listed as Commissioner of Yukon and included at their governmental page (with dates and picture) right over here. ... GELongstreet ( talk) 13:15, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply
    • @ GELongstreet: I beleive that the Yukon government may just be listing Stuart Zachary under a variation of his name, omitting his first name, which as I stated before, has seemed to occur on multiple occasions. Also, if Zachary Taylor Wood was never Commissioner of the RCMP (acting or otherwise), I begin questioning his notability. Fhsig13 ( talk) 19:26, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply
      • For not mixing things up I think it would be beneficial if we´d refer to them as Zachary and Stuart, respectively, otherwise nobody will know who is meant. Zachary`s dates are given as born in 1860, in Yukon at 1902 and death in 1915. Stuart as born in 1889, would have been 13 years old at that time in Yukon, and live until 1966. You´re talking about a whole generation missing (or being invented instead). Both men have attested service times and life dates. A father and a son. It is very possible that a variation of a name is used in files due to several first names - but I see nothing that says only a single person was meant, to the contrary. And notabiliy is a different question so if you want him deleted because being non-notable I suppose you accordingly change your request. ... GELongstreet ( talk) 19:47, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply
        • I have seen no attested service dates for Zachary, and I can't find sources for him either. That said, I think the author may have simply confused some dates, and as a result someone new got invented. Fhsig13 ( talk) 20:03, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply
          • So once you drop the only-one-person idea it seems to resolve into a question of content and sourcing (which again should be on the article talk page). And it seems logical to tag the authors of most of the article: @ Fat pig73: @ Victoriaedwards:. ... GELongstreet ( talk) 20:24, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Different people (e.g. see - [28]). Is the namesake of a rather tall mountain - Mount Wood (Yukon). [29] Sourcing available - [30] [31] Seems also he may have been acting commissioner as some point. Icewhiz ( talk) 12:33, 29 July 2018 (UTC) reply
    • Even if they are different people, the sourcing needs major improvement, especially in reference to proving that he led the RCMP at some point. There is no accurate source for that, however there are many for Stuart Zachary, thus I think Zachary Taylor's identity was either fabricated or confused with his father's (Stuart's), in terms of the RCMP.

@ Kraose:@ Necrothesp: By what standard are they different people? No reliable sources exist to prove this, and the dates coincide in most instances, making it worthy of at best a Merge.
Zachary Taylor Wood (1860–1915). Stuart Wood (1889–1966). In what way do the dates coincide? Who's Who, which is a highly reliable source, has entries for both of them and states clearly that Stuart Wood (the article should be renamed Stuart Taylor Wood, incidentally, as that appears to be the name he used) was Zachary Taylor Wood's son. Most definitely different people. This AfD needs to be closed. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 09:04, 2 August 2018 (UTC) reply

A dictionary of definitions~ Defining other cultural clothing in a generic term.
A publisher of original thought~ The article is ripe with particular feelings about a topic by one or more editors.
A soapbox or means of promotion~ Advocating for a position where Wikipedia's voice of authority has been made to push an idea or opinion even over what the sources claim or say in regards to the subject.
A direstory~ Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations. Is a grass skirt really the things being claimed, or are they a more specific subject as the article seems to indicate?
A manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal~ The article depends entirely on the relationship between one factor in relationship to another.
A indiscriminate collection of information~ The article, as it stands, is a summary-only description of other subjects.
The actual term; "Grass skirt" is not notable, as it is only used to describe other things of true encyclopedic value. The article is best as a redirect to more accurate information.-- Mark Miller ( talk) 00:57, 27 July 2018 (UTC) reply

I disagree and believe your insistence that this article is deleted and disruptive editing (I have seen it as such and the nominator of this AFD has seen it as such) thus far to accomplish that objective has based on a goal to censor content that are cultural offensive to you. The grass skirt is culturally insensitive to modern Hawaiian and a non-authentic costume to the traditional Hawaiian dance. I agree with that. Then that should be noted in the article not deleted and censored from Wikipedia. The Fu Manchu moustache is culturally insensitive to my culture and I do not advocate its deletion because the history of racism and cultural insensitivity is important to note and learn from.

Assuming he's telling the truth (I've not investigated at all, so expressing no opinions), we have someone trying every other way of getting it deleted, and the person's being disruptive, so AFD was a good idea because it would likely result in a clear and enforceable consensus. Also, pretty much any other type of deletion process would be seen as disruptive during such an AFD, so this has the effect of stopping other kinds of actions: either the disruptive user will stop, or he'll keep it up and become an obvious candidate for a block.

As for grass skirts in Hawai'i, that garb was not part of traditional attire and is rejected by contemporary Hawai'ian traditionalists, but was adopted in the 19th century by highly respected hula dancers such as Kini Kapahu Wilson who toured the world in the 1890's promoting Hawai'ian culture. This woman was a giant in Hawai'an history. Yes, the grass skirt was also long associated with inaccurate and sexist stereotypes of that culture, and protests against the grass skirt cliche go back 100 years or more. But we do not deal with that long problematic history by deleting an article about a notable topic, but rather by improving the article using the highest quality sources. We do not impose contemporary Hawai'ian traditionalist concerns on a worldwide encyclopedia, although we must treat those concerns with respect as they are described in reliable sources, by summarizing those sources accurately and neutrally. The bickering in this debate among editors who work on articles about Hawai'i is very unseemly and those editors are advised to control themselves in the future.

Cullen328, with a name like The lancet, I figured it was some minor news website with attendant reliability problems, but Elsevier Science Direct is a good aggregator, and Ulrichsweb describes it as academic/scholarly. Good find! Nyttend ( talk) 12:34, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply
We're questioning The Lancet now?! Andy Dingley ( talk) 13:46, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply
The Lancet is one of the world's most prestigious medical journals and has been published for almost 200 years. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 19:11, 28 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Would this CNN source which mentions the same dangers in a different manner be as reliable for the subject?-- Mark Miller ( talk) 07:53, 29 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Of course not, Mark Miller. That news story describes a single fatal incident involving a synthetic novelty grass skirt in the context of a party among Merrill Lynch employees. The article in The Lancet is about a public health problem among indigenous people wearing traditional garb, and documents a pattern, not a single incident.
