No evidence of sufficient notability to satisfy WP:GNG. Originally created as a Template file and moved to Draft . Draft then moved directly to main-space by author without review.

Wikipedia is not a listing of every product which has been offered for sale. Lots of features are listed, but references to satisfy WP:N are lacking. Edison ( talk) 23:15, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep: The article is well-sourced and many articles link to it. The only people who will find the article are those that are looking for it and they will be pleased to find it. People who aren't looking for it won't find it, and if they do they can costlessly ignore it. If Wikipedia is to be a repository of knowledge perhaps we should be more tolerant of articles about topics we don't care about. I, for one, would not miss all articles on sports, sports figures, sports contests such as the Olympics or the Super Bowl, anything to do with popular music, and I could go on. Acad Ronin ( talk) 00:22, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete "Well-sourced"? There are literally only two sources at all, one of which is an online user's manual and the other a link to ANOTHER wiki. There's not even the faintest hint that anyone has paid any attention to this specific model of camera. And the "article" itself is simply a bunch of bullet-pointed features, making it indistinguishable from a sales brochure. -- Calton | Talk 02:15, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I don't want to make a WP:OSE argument here, but I'm curious as to why this fails WP:N when other similar camera models on the page have articles but have not been nominated for deletion? A couple at a short glance appear to be sourced better, is there truly no way this article can pass WP:GNG? SportingFlyer talk 04:09, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Are you kidding me? I didn't even cast a vote, and I am curious as to why the nominator thought this particular model should be nominated without including other similar models in an AfD as well. SportingFlyer talk 00:40, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Since you asked (and I am not the nominator) a multiple AFD has been frowned upon. articles that all have the same problem can be grouped but as soon as someone adds one or two the Wikilaywers stretch their typing fingers to begin with "it is now too broad and confusing. WP:OTHERSTUFF has also become frowned upon because sourcing (to advance notability on an AFD) and consensus determines inclusion. Suggesting that "other stuff exists" appears to be an argument that notability can be transferred or inherited. I am going to place this on my user page: There is NO automatic or inherited notability on Wikipedia.. Otr500 ( talk) 23:32, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Familiar with multiple AfDs, but I was curious - while this article seems currently undersourced, it also is notable and I was curious if this were a starting point for the other camera models, if there was a particular reason why the other camera models passed WP:GNG and this one did not, or if this was the "starter article" to see if there was enough of a consensus to start culling the product models. SportingFlyer talk 04:04, 22 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Keep: This is in line with very numerous articles on cameras. This particular model is a notable step in the history of Minolta. I would agree that this is not one of the best articles on Wikipedia, but the reaction to this should be to improve the article, not delete it. Deletion has to improve the encyclopedia, typically by pruning articles that are controversial, libelous, slanted or misinformative; I cannot fathom how any of these criteria could apply to this article. Also, this article exists in three other wikipedias, and has in particular a wealth of information on de: that we could simpy translate for a start. Rama ( talk) 08:35, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • I cannot fathom how any of these criteria could apply to this article Since not a single one of those particular criteria were brought up, that's a faintly ridiculous argument.
  • Actually, it isn't a ridiculous argument; quite the opposite. If an article doesn't fail these important criteria, then the whole Afd hangs on "Notability", which is a criterion appropriate for dead tree media, but not WP. WP does not face the same resource constraints that writing on wood fibres does, and WP serves many highly specialized communities of interest. Acad Ronin ( talk) 03:23, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • This particular model is a notable step in the history of Minolta. Prove it. -- Calton | Talk 11:31, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Oh please, do tone it down a notch, will you? 1) Well why do you think there is anything hurtful to Wikipedia in the existence of this article? your sole argument is "indistinguishable from a sales brochure", you really think this is a cunning ploy to advertise a 30-year old product by a defunct company? And if all you are unhappy about is the present state of the article, well improve it. 2) The Minolta 9000 was the first auto-focus professional SLR, if that's not a stepping stone in the history of photography for you I don't know what is.

  • Keep: That there are "other like articles is NEVER a good reason to !vote keep. However: Notability is a reason to keep an article and not the poor shape of an article or the lack of sources on the article. If anyone actually thinks this article is well sourced please ping me so we can study some policies and guidelines. This camera is notable. The Maxxum 9000 was far more advanced than the 7000. The cost for a camera, battery pack, two lens, accessory motor, special back for bracketing, and camera bag was close to $1300.00. This did not include an optional winder. Fourteen lenses between the 9000 and the 7000 and most can be interchanged. The camera has the distinction of a first of a kind auto-focus and has a 1/12,000th of a second minimum shutter speed. These cameras can still be bought on ebay and Amazon for around a 100 bucks or close to $300.00 refurbished. Camera review. Otr500 ( talk) 23:48, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Bischoff's work "Rereading Room" was recently purchased by the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery. Being part of a gallery's collection warrants her WP:CREATIVE status. ( Krys.ro ( talk) 19:01, 15 March 2018 (UTC)) reply
The Belkin is not a museum, it is a university gallery. WP:Creative says "multiple museum notable collections" or something like that... Please also read the CBC source which describes the article subject as an employee of the Belkin gallery. 104.163.147.121 ( talk) 05:09, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
uh, no, WP:CREATIVE does not preclude galleries, whether part of a university, as your above statement implies, no. 4d says "is represented within the permanent collections of several notable(my emphasis) galleries or museums." Coolabahapple ( talk) 07:35, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply

And I agree that Krys.ro should declare any affiliations with the subject. Since they're new, they may not be aware of the issues with WP:COI.

  • Delete This is a 26 year old artist. If you look at the sources, the first is her dealer, and it is not until half way down the list that I see a Vancouver Sun article on her and her work that is an actual independent reliable source. The rest is puffery. To top it off, there is a CBC source where the artist herself declares a desire to improve articles on women artists in Wikipedia. What does that source have to do with this artist, who is also an employee of the Belkin gallery cited above as a buyer of her work? Yes Wikipedia needs more articles on women artists... but no, Wikipedia does not need to bend the notability rules applied to everyone (as is argued above) to achieve that. 104.163.147.121 ( talk) 05:18, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • I could go either way but I want to push back on a few points in this discussion: 1) The Belkin is a major university art gallery. With the exception of U of Toronto, in Canada they don’t have University Museums, they often use the word Gallery. The Belkin is somewhere in the zone in between the Berkeley Art Museum and the Philadelphia ICA or MIT List. They present major exhibitions and have a permanent collection. Their director has been the curator for the Canadian pavilion at Venice. 2) Age is not directly relevant. It is indirectly relevant because it determines how long they have had to establish a track record of notable exhibitions awards and reviews. Honest question: I wonder if being young is cited more frequently in articles about women than articles about men? (citation needed, but an interesting research question!) 3) I personally think COI is important, but I notice that on several other AfDs about men that are currently up for discussion, I have seen editors dismiss COI, and/or they simply do not acknowledge it at all. In this case, I do believe the editor that they are new and didn’t understand the mechanisms. 4) Having a role in organizing gender gap editathons does not preclude notability. I know of a dozen people with Wikipedia pages whose notability is independent/antecedent to their activity as organizers of editathons (myself included). I also know another dozen whose notability arises from their Wikipedia work. However uncomfortable it is for some in the community to negotiate, it’s just another piece of information. In this case I think the question hinges on whether the Belkin collection and The Vancouver Sun piece (which is a feature on her work, and takes the work very seriously). I note that the Wikipedia article about the The Vancouver Sun says it has the largest newsroom in the city, so it is the newspaper of record. The other reviews, and exhibitions are important to establishing the contours of her work, but aren't core to the notability question. I could go either way, the Belkin acquisition is significant, but it might just be a bit TOOSOON.-- Theredproject ( talk) 16:43, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
I usually agree strongly with your critiques, however... Speaking as a Canadian.. The Belkin is not that big of a deal. It just ain't. Although you are right, they do have a small permanent collection. I did not even know that until now, as you mentioned it. It's a bit moot here though, since the article subject works at the gallery and had her work bought by them. Also, the idea that "in Canada they don’t have University Museums, they often use the word Gallery." Is just hopeful nonsense. Is this a possible Museum/gallery? What about this one, did they mean museum? 104.163.147.121 ( talk) 21:58, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Passes both WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. Multiple, significant, pieces of coverage in independent, reliable, third party sources and her work passes point 4 of the SNG. The arguments against keeping are not policy based (participation in editathons, COI of a !voter, age) or factually mistaken (status of the Belkin gallery).

Liberland doesn't even have an established diplomatic relationship with the country that Boitel is supposedly "ambassador" to — which makes him not a real "ambassador" in the conventional sense, but merely a personal friend of the micronation's "president" who was given a courtesy "title" just because he happens to live in France. However, diplomats are not automatically presumed notable just because they exist, even in real established countries with real diplomatic recognition — and they are definitely not presumed notable if they're the "ambassadors" of virtually unrecognized micronations. Ambassadors are accepted as notable enough for articles if they can be properly sourced as the subject of enough reliable source coverage about them to clear GNG, but not if their only "source" is a photograph on a non-notable photographer's self-published personal website.

  • Delete. The "inherent" notability of deputy heads of state attaches to the deputy heads of state of real established countries with real diplomatic recognition, not to the self-appointed governments of virtually unrecognized micronations whose only established diplomatic relationship is with one other unrecognized polity, and no reliable source coverage has been shown to get him over WP:GNG as an individual in lieu.

  • Delete per Bearcat. In lieu of the lack of "inherent" notability due to the "government" not being recognized by any established full-fledged nations, there is simply not enough reliable coverage to satisfy GNG. -- TheSandDoctor ( talk) 03:12, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete the article has an additional problem of being overly promotional. To call Liberland a "partially recognized" nation is an abuse of the term. South Ossetia is partially recognized. Liberland only has recognition from the unrecognized Somaliland, which has no political influence in the region where Liberland claims to exist, so it is an empty gesture.

I am putting the whole text here if you don't have time to go over there and read the relevant story.
"A seller’s best bet for competing with Amazon is to offer a unique selection that the site doesn’t have, said Jennifer Becker, co-founder of BabyHaven.com, a baby clothing and accessory company with a warehouse in Santa Fe Springs.
“We try to find the product before Amazon stocks it,” Becker said. “You have to play around what Amazon retail is doing.”
Becker started selling electronics on eBay when she and her twin brother, Jason Becker, were still students at Crescenta Valley High School. While she was at Cal Poly Pomona and he was at Cal State Long Beach, they founded BabyHaven.com, which did $600,000 in revenue its first year.
The company sold $20 million worth of product in 2013 and is on track to increase that figure by 50 to 70 percent this year, Jennifer Becker said.
Last year, BabyHaven opened a brick-and-mortar store in Glendale to keep its vendors happy.
“They say that if somebody wants to test the stroller out they need a physical location,” Jennifer Becker said. “Even though what we’ve found is that they come in and look at it — and then they buy it online.”

This page in Wikipedia is just serving as a proxy for the company website; the only source for this list is the company website. Fails WP:LISTN as well as WP:PROMO, which says "...All article topics must be verifiable with independent, third-party sources.... Wikipedia articles about a company or organization are not an extension of their website...." This page grew out of a discussion here about whether this list belongs in the main Frontiers Media article; I and others have said it doesn't belong there. It doesn't cut it as a standalone article either. Jytdog ( talk) 17:44, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Keep This is clearly a WP:ABF nomination, not even giving time for the article to be built. This article is most certainly not a 'proxy for the website'. While Jytdog and others did indeed said it didn't belong in Frontiers Media, many others said that it did, or that an article on the series would be an acceptable alternative. In any cases, this is a notable series of journals, which easily meets WP:GNG, and should be kept. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 17:48, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Worthwhile information to have about a notable (but not in a good way) publisher.

XOR'easter ( talk) 17:55, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Neither !vote above addresses the reasons for the nomination. If you want to IAR that is fine of course but please be explicit about that, and acknowledge that this an extension of the company website (the only source for the complete list is the company's website) so fails PROMO and fails LISTN (what independent sources talk about all the journals, distinct from the publisher which already has an article?). Jytdog ( talk) 18:00, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
It is not an extension of the website, and never will be, nor is is in violation of WP:PROMO or WP:LISTN. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 18:02, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
This diff for example just pads this page, with content about the publisher. We already have an article on the publisher and N is not inherited. Jytdog ( talk) 18:03, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
In this case, both the series and the publisher are intertwined and inherit each other's notability, and the series also inherits its constituents' notability. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 18:22, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
(edit conflict) I think that in this case, notability is inherited. The publisher is notable, what the publisher does is publish journals, and so the "group or set" of journals is, jointly, notable. Given that the original article rather thoroughly documents the controversies surrounding the publisher, listing their journals is hardly an advertisement. (In fact, having a separate page for the list is suboptimal from this point of view.) XOR'easter ( talk) 18:24, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply

( edit conflict) I prefer the list in the publisher article myself, but Jytdog (among others) opposed that. Shows there's just no pleasing some people.

That it is beloved by cranks and charlatan is one further reason to keep the article. Regardless of your personal opinion about the reputation of these journals, the fact remain that Frontiers journals are have high visibility, and relatively high impact. You wouldn't catch me dead publishing in them, and I'd seriously question any research that was referenced to Frontiers, but we deal with the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.

This is worth commenting on. I totally get it, that some people think it is important for WP to be a sort of card-catalog for journals -- that there be this library-like function in mainspace. But Wikipedia is not a catalog. Wikidata could definitely serve that purpose; it is within its mission to gather up all data. If folks want something text-based, I wonder if there should be something like a "WikiCardCatalog" project where people who want to do this, can do it.

The article is nowhere near a catalogue entry. As for sources which discuss the journal series as a whole, you'll find this to meet exactly that criterion. An analysis of predatory publishing with and without Frontiers journals. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 04:26, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
That it is beloved by cranks and charlatan is one further reason to keep the article. That rationale has nothing to do with this list, and is a rebuttal to an argument not even being made.
The article is nowhere near a catalogue entry. Based on what? It's (almost) literally just a list of titles, with no notes, no explanations, no links, no details, and no organizing principle other than the alphabetical. If readers want a company catalog, it's not Wikipedia's job to provide that, it's the company's. -- Calton | Talk 07:27, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Based on the article. Did you even read it? There's plenty of analysis, history, commentary, sourcing. It goes well beyond a simple listing (which would be completely fine to have on its own, btw), and easily passes WP:GNG. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 10:55, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply

There wasn't yet a consensus to get around. I'd prefer to keep everything in one article; a separate list page was a not-great but not-bad-sounding alternative. Failing that, I think the sources turned up in the course of building this page (e.g., footnotes 11–17) should be incorporated into the main Frontiers Media article. Generally, I just think that when I look up a publisher in a reference work, one thing I'd like to be able to find is what they publish. XOR'easter ( talk) 05:25, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
That is exactly what I do not state. Nope, that's the only reasonable interpretation of what you wrote. If you want this -- frankly -- pointless list, get consensus to include it in the actual article. If you can't get, well, too bad, people will just have to go to the company website. -- Calton | Talk 07:27, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
@ XOR'easter: Luckily, for those who want to find out what Frontiers Media publishes, they maintain this website. It is a clear pass of the criteria at WP:EL, and should be included as an external link on the Frontiers Media page. It is also the only actual source for the content of this list, so exactly 0 encyclopedic value is lost by chucking the list for the link. (And if any individual journals are notable, there can be a reasonable-size subsection called "Notable journals" or something.) -- JBL ( talk) 13:04, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
It might be the only static source for the full content of the list itself (the only other sources I could find were partial, e.g., [2], or directory search results), but other references discuss the collection as a unit. And, as I mentioned in the original discussion, having a list of our own means that we can indicate if a journal changes its name, ceases publication, etc. This is the kind of information that, in my experience, is difficult to find from a publisher's catalogue because it gets buried or elided and has to be sourced from elsewhere. XOR'easter ( talk) 14:21, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
We can only do that if there are reliable sources that allow us to do that by writing about it. And if an individual journal has reliable sources writing about it, then it is independently notable and can have its own article. -- JBL ( talk) 15:09, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
We have plenty of reliable sources writing about the journal series. It easily passes WP:GNG. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 15:14, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
If an individual journal is only covered in one or two niche-but-reliable sources (as is the case for several in the list here, I've found), then I'm sure an article on that individual journal would be brought to AfD, and I bet a common sentiment would be to merge and redirect it to the article on the publisher, and we'd be right back where we started. XOR'easter ( talk) 15:24, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Well, I invite you to test this theory, rather than use a hypothetical with no supporting evidence as a reason to include an indiscriminate list of non-notable journals in a publisher's article when precisely the same service can be provided to readers by an external link without violating any important guidelines. -- JBL ( talk) 23:51, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
It's not all that hypothetical; it's what happened with History Matters, for example: mentioned only briefly in niche-but-reliable sources, and so merged into the article on the university that publishes it. Microbial Genomics was redirected to the Microbiology Society. Similarly for Hurly-Burly, which was merged to the article on its founder. In the case of Catalyst, the article on a new journal was redirected to that of its more-established sister publication, per WP:TOOSOON. The argument has also been made in discussions that ended up with deletion, e.g., IEEE Transactions on Emerging Health in Computational Intelligence. XOR'easter ( talk) 00:35, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Delete: This is now just a fork of Frontiers Media. The encyclopedic content belongs in that article (and that's what all the substantive references are about). The list of journals is not encyclopedic content and doesn't belong on Wikipedia (but would make a fine external link). -- JBL ( talk) 12:50, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Keep or Merge with Frontiers Media. This AfD nomination was made within 20 minutes of the article's creation while it was actively under construction, which to me does not assume good faith, and is fairly malicious. I know there's no rule on how soon an article can be nominated, but I'm tired of running into AfDs which were nominated while obviously still under construction. Just assume good faith people! I know there are draft forms and sandboxes for this, so the article's creator is more at fault, but in any case nominators should be able to tell when a page is under construction and should practice patience before getting a quick AfD stat. Ok, off my soapbox.. In its current state the article is well-written and well sourced with reliable and verifiable references. Since the AfD nomination the page has been completely overhauled and has a lot of material that is specific to the Frontier Journals that warrants a nice spinout article from the main page. My recommendation would be to change the name to "Frontiers journal series" as it is on the Frontiers Media page as that's how more people would likely search for it, but as it stands right now the page meets WP:GNG and should be kept.

User:Semmendinger thanks for your kind note. The additional content is padding and is about the publisher; this was entirely predictable. The creator is focused on getting the full list of Frontiers journals somewhere in Wikipedia under the (in my view) mistaken notion that WP should be a catalog for journals. That is what this is about, at base - they created this only after getting resistance to including the list in the publisher article. The list of Frontiers journals is not notable; the publisher is. Jytdog ( talk) 22:57, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Right: none of the encyclopedic content added to this article is about the "Frontiers in ... series" as distinct from the publisher Frontiers Media; the two subjects are synonymous for all practical purposes. There should be one article, it should have the union of the encyclopedic contents of these two articles, and it should not have the list of all journals because that's just an indiscriminate list and is better provided as an external link. If anyone is engaging in bad faith here it is Headbomb, creating and then padding this article to avoid the consensus here to delete the list of journals. -- JBL ( talk) 23:46, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Sorry for the delay in response. The way I see it now (after reading much more into the resulting conversation since I've initially voted) is that this page might be a proper WP:SPINOUT article for the main Frontiers Media article, but at this point in time that main page isn't large enough to warrant a spinout. I agree that the list of journals alone does not meet notability, but the rest of the information that's been included in the current state of this page is actually pretty well-sourced and would be a nice addition to the main page should this one fall under deletion. For now, I've changed my vote to Merge with the main page. SEMMENDINGER ( talk) 00:02, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Yes, I do not know the strength of the first ref you listed, but the other two are really good. At this point I just don't see the need to make a spinout article for the journals when this all would fit so well in the main page. Without the journal title section the rest of this article fits nicely in Frontiers Media. I think you've done a lot of excellent work in creating this page and am pretty much sitting on the fence because both sides are bringing up fair points (I feel bad for whoever has to make the final decision here). I'm 100% against deletion on this, but when this information fits perhaps better in the main article I can't strongly vote keep, so merge seems like a happy medium in light of arguments made here. SEMMENDINGER ( talk) 01:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Semmendinger: The first ref addresses specifically how the picture of predatory publishing changes depending on whether or not you consider the Frontiers journal series to be predatory. As for the list itself, it's of rather paramount importance, otherwise readers cannot know what journals are in the series, which also runs the risk of confusing a slew of journals and book series named Frontiers in/of... such as Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology (Elsevier) which a reader could easily assume is part of the series when it's not. Or even a worse situation, dealing with Frontiers of Physics ( Springer/ Higher Education Press journal) vs. Frontiers in Physics (Frontiers Media journal) vs Frontiers in Physics (Princeton University Press book series). Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 04:44, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Consider this situation, Alice applies for a job, with Bob being in charge of the hiring process. Alice published a paper in Frontiers in Diabetes. Having heard colleges having debates about the Frontiers in... series before, Bob decides to check the Frontiers Media/Frontiers journal series article to see what the fuss was about, but it doesn't mention which journals are parts of it, nor is the information available on Wikipedia. Since the journal is named Frontiers in..., they assume it's part of the Frontiers in ... series, while at the same time learning its publishes a lot of quackery, AIDS denialism, anti-vaccines crap, and the like. Bob then judges Alice negatively for publishing in quack journals, and hires someone else instead. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 04:58, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
I get your point, but that argument doesn't have a place on Wikipedia and I can't use it when i'm deciding how to vote.

If this article is going to be made into a substantive, encyclopedic article, separate from Frontiers Media (which sounds like a silly fork to me but otherwise is not objectionable) it is still the case that the list of journals in the article is unnecessary and should be replaced with an external like to the publisher's webpage, which is the only place it is ever going to be sourced from, anyhow. -- JBL ( talk) 21:42, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
If you make an article about a series of something, telling what people what is in the series of something is rather important. that's like saying the Forbes Celebrity 100 shouldn't say who the 100 are, because it's sourced through the Forbes Celebrity 100 official list.

Then I'll ask you to do the same. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 01:29, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Headbomb can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the point of the Forbes 100 example was that it's OK to have a list whose contents are sourced directly to the organization who made the list. Since a new Forbes 100 comes out every year, it's reasonable to avoid overkill and report only the top 10 from each year, which is what our article does. Whether we include the whole 100 or not is incidental to the point that I thought Headbomb was arguing. (The " America's Best Colleges" list is also annual, but shorter, and we report the whole thing.) Again, perhaps I am mistaken, but that's my take-away. I can sympathize with the desire to keep Wikipedia from becoming a giant cruft pile; I have myself argued for the deletion of articles on academics who I thought did not measure up to WP:PROF, or recreational trivialities from pop math, and I've definitely seen articles on journals that I felt should be deleted (e.g., this one or this one). I don't think cataloging every thing that anybody has called an academic journal is a suitable use for Wikipedia. I simply think that in this case, the publisher is obviously notable, and recording what they do makes our article more useful, without imposing a serious burden on readers who don't particularly care. (I do not believe that the original discussion had arrived at a consensus yet before it spilled over here. Three editors felt that a separate list page would be an OK course of action, if it could be reasonably guaranteed to be kept up-to-date, and @ Doug Weller: wrote, "List or whatever, I think it's important to have a way that readers can distinguish between those published by this company and those with just a similar name.") XOR'easter ( talk) 00:13, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
I am not really very interested in what Headbomb thought s/he was doing (funny how someone saturating every aspect of an interaction with personalized hostility and unpleasantness will do that!) but it also does not show the thing you are suggesting: there are sources in that article about the list qua list that are not published by Forbes. That list article is a very good example of several appropriate things to do while making a list on Wikipedia: including secondary sources, restricting to notable elements of the list, etc. No one has ever written an article discussing the list of journals published by Frontiers, and most likely no one will ever do so; most of the journals are not notable now, and they may never be. And the correct thing to do under those circumstances is to stick to information that can be supported by reliable secondary sources, giving due weight to those aspects that are notable, and using an appropriate external link for related valuable but non-encyclopedic content. -- JBL ( talk) 01:38, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
References 2, 15, 16 and 17 in the article as it currently stands are secondary sources that all identify the list of Frontiers journals as a unit (saying that all of them together can be considered a megajournal). Restricting a list to elements that are individually notable is eminently sensible in some cases (e.g., List of people by Erdős number), but it is not the only way to go about listing (e.g., List of polygons, or closer to the topic at hand, the publications section of SIAM or APS). Per WP:CSC, a short and complete list "of every item that is verifiably a member of the group" is permitted "if a complete list is reasonably short (less than 32K) and could be useful (e.g., for navigation) or interesting to readers." I think that a 4-by-15 table of 2,098 characters is "reasonably short", that it can aid navigation, and that the relative proportion of bluelinked items to plain ones is itself indicative about the Frontiers business. I can't speak to whether it is "interesting to readers" in general, but if they've read that far into a page about a topic of academic interest (pun intended) they probably care at least a little.
The general hostility of this discussion has been remarkably high (I am reminded of Sayre's law). I would like to apologize if I have contributed to that atmosphere, and I will be taking advantage of the "opportunity" that work deadlines are giving me to step away from wiki-stuff for a few days.

  • Keep. Adequately sourced, and I think it's important to have this as a warning to readers that content in those journals might not be reliable.

I don't understand the purpose of the main article anymore. This and that are basically the same thing, but that has a few corporate details that this one doesn't, and this one of course has The List. We basically have two chunks of content that we need to keep in sync which is just a stupid waste of time, especially on a journal that is controversial like this. User:DGG and User:David Eppstein your !votes make no sense in a meta-editing sense and are frankly disappointing.

Way to reward shitty behavior and make more work for the commmunity. We should probably just merge the main article here. Jytdog ( talk)
  • Merge. I've been following this discussion for a while now, but as I don't see any new arguments come up, I decided to give my 2c. Headbomb has put in a great effort to make this an interesting article and I think he has succeeded in that. He has also shown that the series is notable, I feel. The reason I still recommend a merge is the fact that I fail to see much different between "Frontiers Media" and the "Frontiers in" series. Frontiers is a different case from the BMC series. Frontiers only publishes journals in the "Frontiers in" series, whereas BioMed Central publishes the a number of journals outside of the BMC series. As such, I find that for most sources in this article it is not really clear whether they are about the publisher as such or about the series as such. Neither the article on the series nor the article on Frontiers Media is so large that a merge would be prohibitive (and there is some duplication anyway). As for the question whether the list of journals should stay or not, I am neutral. On the one hand, as I have already said elsewhere, I strongly dislike this kind of lists and in general do not feel that they add much value. On the other hand I am susceptible to the argument that readers should be able to see easily whether a certain journal is published by Frontiers or not. An alternative might be to remove the list of journals and replace it under "see also" with a list of notable journals named Frontiers in/of that are not published by Frontiers (perhaps with a subheading "Journals named Frontiers in/of that are not published by Frontiers Media"). -- Randykitty ( talk) 10:27, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply
    • Well, there is one difference. One can be completely oblivious to the company, while being very interested in the issues around the open access and open peer review model exemplified by the journal series.

  • Delete It's clear that he doesn't meet WP:NBOX. That means he needs to meet WP:GNG to be WP notable. At first glance this didn't look like a problem with sources like Forbes and Inc. listed. However, all those articles turned out to have written by the same sports agent as a "contributor", which means there is no editorial oversight--much like a newspaper's "letter to the editor." The remaining coverage does not seem to be the significant, independent coverage from reliable sources required by the GNG. Notability is not obtained by association with notable trainers, trying to market an app, opening a Rita's Italian Ice franchise, winning two bar fights in Tijuana (his two pro victories according to Boxrec), having a self-declared net worth of over a million dollars, or helping fund an orphanage in Cameroon (although it's certainly a good deed). I'll admit I don't know what it means to be the "WBU novice world champion" (novice and world champion are a strange pairing), which is not reliably sourced, but I know that even a full-fledged WBU world championship is insufficient to show boxing notability.

Several glaring problems here. First off, notability is not inherited which, in this case, to her alleged husband. All of the news sources are in the context of her spouse. Two, we are not the news; light coverage is tracked to early April 2017 then falls off immediately. And finally, the subject is a BLP and there is not a particular claim for individual notability, besides this one event. Perhaps you can argue this should be redirected to her husband's article and briefly mentioned, but a seperate article is clearly undue. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 03:02, 7 March 2018 (UTC) reply

    • As a courtesy to previously non-notable people people who are relatively unknown, we require a higher bar of notability, before we cover them. Dannyniu, are you really argung that Rahaf Zina should be seen as a non-notable person low-profile individual? However, wasn't her husband a Daesh cabinet member? Can anyone argue that people who measure up to WP:POLITICIAN, or their spouses, should be considered non-notable people people who are relatively unknown? As the widow of someone who measures up to POLITICIAN I suggest you should not argue she merits the courtesy privacy protection we offer previously non-notable people people who are relatively unknown. Geo Swan ( talk) 13:29, 7 March 2018 (UTC) reply
      • I won't speak for Dannyniu, but yes, I will absolutely argue that being the wife of a cabinet member does not make you notable. Notability is not inherited. We did not have an article on this person before this incident, and this article is made entirely of sources generated after the incident. The signs of prior notability are severely lacking. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 18:21, 7 March 2018 (UTC) reply
        • I wrote "previously non-notable people", and didn't use the precise phrases BLP uses " people who are relatively unknown" and low-profile individual No, being the wife of a POLITICIAN doesn't make you WP:NOTABLE notable, but my suggestion was that being the spouse of a cabinet member disqualifies you from the special courtesy privacy protections we extend to low-profile individuals, who are relatively unknown. Rahaf Zina, unlike people who meet the criteria for POLITICIAN, would have her notability built up by adding multiple notability factors, which would include:
        1. Claims she paid one million Phillipines dollars to a confederate who was a senior Police official;
        2. Claims she was involved in a plot to bomb the Phillipines;
        3. Marrying her former brother-in-law -- this was standard procedure, in various cultures, but is remarkably uncommon now.
This discussion may conclude her notability factors don't currently add up to enough notability for a standalone article, but I think claims she is a BLP1E are specious. Geo Swan ( talk) 19:41, 7 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • To the degree that "claims" can actually be said to be an "event", two claims made at once would still be one event. As for the claim that she married her brother-in-law:
  1. That claim was not in the source being cited, so I deleted source.
  2. Even had she married the brother of her late husband, that would not be marrying her brother-in-law, as marriages end with death; she would be marrying her former brother-in-law.
  3. Even had she married her former brother-in-law, that would not be the sort of thing that would get coverage on its own. I've never seen a headline proclaiming that someone otherwise non-famous has done that.
  • Er ... where is our list of articles of actual Daesh "cabinet members" again? I propose that Daesh "cabinet members" do not qualify for WP:POLITICIAN much less their spouses. There is a reason for this! Being an actual politician demands extensive publicity and press coverage to get people to vote for you. That is what makes it pretty likely there are large quantities of sources about you that we can write articles from. Being a leader of a terrorist group demands extensive secrecy to get your much more powerful enemies not to drop bombs on you. That's what makes it pretty hard to write articles about leaders of terrorist groups. Again, much less their spouses! -- GRuban ( talk) 18:59, 7 March 2018 (UTC) reply
    • As for a "fetish for terrorism related events, persons", etc... First, terrorists are much less common than murderers. We don't cover every murderer, only truly exceptional murderers, because murders are so commons, and, sadly most of them are so similar, that we can adequately cover almost all murders, and almost all murderers, in our more general articles, on murder, on domestic violence, on drug dealing, etc. But terrorists are relatively rare, rare enough that each one is unique enough for a standalone article. If murderers were that rare, we would cover just about every one of them too.

      Female terrorists are particularly uncommon. It is rather a man's field. Geo Swan ( talk) 13:42, 7 March 2018 (UTC) reply

      • Geo Swan careful calling a BLP a terrorist when, at best, she is a suspect. And terroists are relatively rare? There were over 11,000 individual terror attacks in 2016. [9] That is little over 30 per day and I imagine every single one was not committed simply by just one person. Do literally tens of thousands of people each year deserve an article simply because you are under the false impression that terrorism is "relatively rare"?

He got his facebook & twitter accounts verified as well, before anyone could jump on and start saying that verified page is not considered as parameter for notability....

Apologies if you find anything wrong in my comment. Proud to be Indian <3 :)

Have few questions

  • How many of an Indian motivational speakers given their speech in Google's head office? --> Very rare--> This guy did this
  • How many of an Indian motivational speakers given their speech British Parliament? --> Very few--> This guy did this

want some more? Who are we to decide his notability, Answer is... Yes, we are just a common people.

I'm sorry, but the followup question to those claims has to be "where are the sources for that"? You already know that Facebook and Twitter accounts are not indicators of notability as Wikipedia defines it, but it looks like you might be under the impression that sources have to be online (if I interpret your comment "finding traces of notability over internet" correctly). That is not the case. Most online sources are useless as far as showing notability is concerned, and many offline sources (books published by reputable publishers, reliable printed newspapers and magazines, etc) are perfectly acceptable as sources as long as they actually support the information in the article. There are no sources at all for the claim that he was especially invited by Google's CEO (and I'm sorry, but that in itself would not mean the person was notable as Wikipedia defines it), and the sources for his speaking in front of Parliament are not independent/secondary (and again, his speaking there is not a claim to notability in itself. Many people do that. If theie speech is discussed in secondary sources it's a claim to notability, if not, it's not.) -- bonadea contributions talk 15:06, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep -- First of all, there is nothing in WP:NOTGUIDE which applies to this list. Second, WP:LISTCRUFT is not only a mere essay, it also doesn't apply, since this list is not indiscriminate; it has perfectly binary inclusion criteria, and it's also not trivial. First, let's talk about notability. The only relevant guideline here is WP:LISTN, which tells us that a list is notable "if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources." That is obviously going to be the case with any legit accrediting consortium, and it's the case with this one. For instance, Newsweek, Financial Times, and so on. Furthermore, WP:CLN tells us that categories and lists complement one another. There are tons of categories based on accreditation association, just for instance, Category:Universities and colleges in the United States by accreditation association. In short, this list is notable, it's not a guide, it's not cruft, it's the kind of thing which complements many existing categories, and so it should be kept. 192.160.216.52 ( talk) 13:49, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. LISTCRUFT only reasonably refers to keeping a list of minor unimportant things. Everything listed here is notable or potentially notable, and the factor of being accredited by a particular accreditor is a key part of their `significance.
It should also be a category. The two are complementary. Categories are automatically populated, but lists can give some additional information, in this case, a location and the affiliated university. Sometimes one is helpful for navigation, sometimes another. Of the arguments for deletion given in the nomination
"We don't need to guide which university is accredited with what through a list " that's a matter of opinion. I think that in general we need every rational navigational aide. the nature of the accreditation can best be see by a list of what they accredit. What one editor may or may not need is not a criterion for deletion. If I made WP according to what I think important or needed, it would have about 1/2 as much content, and similarly I suppose for everyone else--but a different 1/2 for each of us.
"Very dynamic list" Is that supposed to be a criticism. I suppose it means that the list will be hard to maintain. I don't see why--as we add the articles, we maintain the list. It will need a check every few years to see if it is still the case, but that also applies to every individual article that lists it. Eventually, Wikidata will solve this and most other updating problems DGG ( talk ) 04:01, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply

We usually don't copy rankings from sites and mirror them per WP:NOTMIRROR. This is very selective with undefined criteria, better do what we do for 'Forbes rankings'. This comes under WP:LISTCRUFT.

  • Keep -- First of all, WP:NOTMIRROR is completely, astoundingly, irrelevant to this article. This list has exactly none of the qualities discussed there. Secondly, WP:LISTCRUFT is an essay, not policy, and it also does not apply here. That essay is about indiscriminate lists, that is lists without a well-defined inclusion criterion. This list has a perfectly well-defined objective binary inclusion criterion, stated right at the top of the list: Universities "which are ranked in the top 50 by at least one of the following..." Thus there's no valid reason given for deletion. Finally, the actually applicable notability guideline, WP:LISTN, tells us that a list subject is notable when the entries have been discussed as a group by RS. That's clearly the case with World University Rankings. See e.g. The Guardian, Times Higher Ed Supplement, and so on. 192.160.216.52 ( talk) 13:57, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep – And again Well said 192.160.216.52. I know AFD is not a Wikipedia:Polling is not a substitute for discussion where we count up the Keep and Delete comments and that the one that is represented more is the final outcome, but rather a censuses on which side presents the better argument. 192.160.216.52 presented such a very compelling and valid argument that I cannot add anything other than to say Keep. I may just follow you around all day! ShoesssS Talk 14:37, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep On the undefined criteria issue, I think that is a fair point, but there is an article on these criteria (including criticism), and a link to that would remove the problem. They are certainly not arbitrary lists, all three ranking organisations being respectable and with their own articles. Having a single place giving the results for one year is a useful resource - rather than delete, encouraging similar reports for other years would be a good way forward. The listing itself is noteworthy, giving Anglo-American universities all the top places - depending on your view notably encouraging or something that reflects the criticism of the approaches discussed in the other articles; but this article is not attempting to interpret it, just giving the data for readers to consider and other editors to use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.70.166 ( talk) 15:47, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I believe WP:CIL applies. The selection of rankings also seems rather arbitrary (unless it would be explained). -- Muhandes ( talk) 14:15, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per Muhandes; pages that are simply replications of lists published elsewhere should generally be deleted. Also, having this type of list for every individual year is excessive. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 20:53, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep.First, about the criteria etc This is a comparison of the three standard international lists--it is easy to show they are currently the principal lists ( Inside Higher Ed . [4] )--it will also be possible to discuss adding others. An introductory paragraph is necessary to explain this, and to very briefly summarize how the criteria for the 3 lists are different, so people reading it will not be confused. Second, about repeating material from elsewhere: this is a compilation of data, and, within limits, that has always been part of the function of encyclopedias and almanacs; and , according to WP:NOT, WP is both. Nor is this very simplified comparison available elsewhere as conveniently findable lists; other available comparisons are much more complicated. WP has an important role as a summary of more complicated material for the general user.
In fact, most of our comparison lists is of this nature: we always have similar problems as here--we have to select which daa to compare, and the data is invariably available elsewhere. But we can present it more usably. Usefulness is a valid criterion for a list. DGG ( talk ) 21:33, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Let me try to understand the argument. Are you saying that since this is the purpose of Wikipedia, we are allowed to violate copyright? Because this list either violates it or it doesn't, and I don't see anyone here saying it doesn't, and if so, why. -- Muhandes ( talk) 17:39, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • What these references look to show is that Super Seducer may be notable. This article being deleted would not preclude the creation of that one (there is arguably a lower threshold for video game notability, and it looks to me that the game clearly meets that threshold). The sources would not simultaneously merit an article about La Ruina and his game. What we would need is significant coverage of the subject beyond coverage of the game in reliable sources (not blogs, not opinion columns, not generally others in the same business, etc.). That coverage would need to be in depth and over a period of time. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 23:30, 12 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Neutral. Mr La Ruina has been condemned by Sony who have blocked his "super seducer" game from being released on the Playstation as it is offensive and misogynistic, and promotes stalking. [10] [11] This is the main topic when searching for sources, so it should be the main focus of his article, not a small paragraph at the end. I've got no real issue if the article is deleted, but keeping it and rewriting it to a neutral point of view using proper sources will teach people that an article about yourself is nothing to be proud of.

Article solely about coining a term that is now in limited use in academia. Before recent cleanup this was an unencyclopedic, rather promotional essay, about who has written what articles and reviews about one another's academic articles. After cleanup, most of the sourcing is to older authors that never mention the term. The majority of the writing cited is not by Indigenous writers, and not by or about Two spirit or Indigenous peoples of the Americas.

The "Colonization" section seems to be germane to the topic, but I suspect that few of these sources cite Driskill or use the term sovereign erotic. If that's the case, then even if they talk about similar things, conflating them is OR (unless, of course, another scholar makes the connection for us). If the headword has been discussed enough in the literature by independent scholars, and if this isn't fringe, then the article can stay—minus the OR. Otherwise, delete per the GNG or WP:FRINGE.
In the meantime, the deletion of the Driskill quote seems a bit unfortunate, as it showed the original context of the headword, and the deletion deprives the article of the closest thing it had to an unequivocal definition. — Ringbang ( talk) 00:14, 7 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment- I find filling Wikipedia with random phrases to be tedious and lacking in necessity. The phrase sovereign erotic has been used prior to the individual being credited with coining the term, for example it can be found in academic writing published by Deborah Miranda [1] and Judith Butler [2] so should the article stay it needs an entire rewrite so that it doesn't come off as a promotional piece.

Comment - I put this up for XFD for this discussion. I think there are certainly ideas worth exploring in the article, which is why I didn't completely gut it in the cleanup. But given Indigenous girl's comments above, I don't think WP is the place for it. I don't have an issue per se with some of the content I cut, but rather I am concerned about some of the personal claims and possible academic competition/credit WP may be being used for here. As there are uses that pre-date Driskell's, Driskell's claim of coining the term can't stand. I was already concerned about this last night. We can't let the 'pedia be used to advance any kind of misrepresentation here. I think it may be best, and in the interests of protecting the 'pedia, to just take any content by notable authors and put it in their articles. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 00:47, 7 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Queer studies, delete is also possible.Redirect to Two-spirit. I'm not sure that crediting Driskill is inappropriate - however in my BEFORE I found fairly little use of this in general - and what use there was was mainly due to Driskill's work and other authors quoting/citing/mentioning Driskill - as such, this is for the most part a single researcher concept (whether being the original coiner or not - it would seem this was mainly promoted due to Driskill ). Icewhiz ( talk) 13:29, 7 March 2018 (UTC) Modified my !vote per comments below on redirect target which convinced me.

Icewhiz ( talk) 06:25, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
I think Queer studies would be a better fit for the redirect. The material that's been added to, and then cut from, the Two Spirit article in the past, that seems to have been from people using the term, was strongly framed in a modern Queer Studies framework and perspective, rather than an Indigenous, Two-spirit approach. From what I can see, most of the people using this term are not Two Spirit, and not involved in the Two Spirit communities. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 23:02, 8 March 2018 (UTC) reply
If a phrase primarily used by one individual absolutely must be retained, I agree, the redirect should be to Queer studies. The term is not used in Two Spirit or indigenous communities. Redirecting to Two Spirit would be erroneous. Indigenous girl ( talk) 23:52, 12 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Merge to List of earthquakes in the British Isles. Marginally notable only because earthquakes of this magnitude (small as it is) in the British Isles are rare leading this one to be listed in coverage of other earthquakes in the British Isles (e.g. [12] [13]) - however it seems it is mainly covered in conjunction with other earthquakes as a previous example, so it would seem this is not independently notable of the set. Icewhiz ( talk) 13:26, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • I remember this happening, and British people couldn't stop talking about it for a few days, but it is not the largest ever in the British Isles (biggest for 12 years - not to bad), and it is not 'big' at 4.8 on the Richter scale, and it didn't damage anything. Merging with a list is fine, because there is no possible content here beyond; "there was a small earthquake, it measured 4.8 on the Richter scale and lasted for 20 seconds, the epicenter was at grid reference SO898913, and it could be felt about 300 miles away".

  • Comment - The problem with putting this earthquake back into the list (which was recently drastically shortened by me) is that such standalone lists should be lists of notable topics (assuming that this is an example of the first type mentioned in WP:CSC) so for inclusion they should individually meet the criteria - to quote "This standard prevents Wikipedia from becoming an indiscriminate list, and prevents individual lists from being too large to be useful to readers", which in my opinion the previous version of the list article was (~50k). I will try to think of other ways in which such non-notable events could be recorded without recreating the list as it was. We should not be trying to match the full British Geological Survey list of earthquakes. Mikenorton ( talk) 16:42, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
    Set a Richter threshold that would leave the list with an event every 3 years or so. This particular earthquake is clearly being referenced years after it has occurred (mainly when the next quake occurs). Icewhiz ( talk) 16:51, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
I think it's notable enough, the issue is that there isn't anything to write about. This earthquake got national coverage, insisting on national coverage is a reasonable criteria. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 17:12, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete – Delete as suggested. Redirecting to the list is an outdated concept. The event does not qualify for the list. Dawnseeker2000 18:39, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Merge I have no idea why this event wouldn't qualify for the list with the suggested merge. Earthquakes of lower magnitudes are on there. Suggest someone qualifies that list to events of >4.5 magnitude. SportingFlyer talk 04:13, 15 March 2018 (UTC) Keep The article as it stands is pretty poorly sourced, but I think it clearly meets WP:GNG and WP:EVENT; there's national diversity of sources, including lookbacks after weeks and years, and journal articles: [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19]. SportingFlyer talk 05:54, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Two of these links are to the website of the Black Country geological society, one is a local news website, the BGS paper is BGS seismologists doing what they're paid to do - resarch British earthquakes, Keele Uni has been involved in researching British earthquakes for some decades, hence their interest and finally the BBC England (not the national part of the website) report the BGS's more considered view of the event. How do these demonstrate diversity? Mikenorton ( talk) 01:02, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
The point of WP:DIVERSE is that multiple different sources are available to discuss the event at hand. While I have linked several sources that would be related to each other, this article continues to be mentioned in other articles about earthquakes even to this day, in a wide range of news sources - these were not the only two news sites to discuss the 'quake, and the local news article discussed it years after the fact. The BGS is not the sole source of earthquake news in Britain. SportingFlyer talk 01:31, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment The earthquake notability guideline linked above seems incredibly strange as well, as most guidelines for inclusion include articles in which GNG is assumed, and then articles that aren't automatically notable but nevertheless meet WP:GNG. The guideline pointed to doesn't include WP:GNG anywhere. Does anything else override WP:GNG that's not WP:NOT on a consistent basis? SportingFlyer talk 05:56, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
The guidelines have been in use for nearly 8 years now - they were drawn up after a series of contentious deletion debates. If you think that they are in need of revision then open a discussion on the relevant page. This is not the place for that. Mikenorton ( talk) 01:02, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
You can assume the WP:GNG overrides that guideline, which is merely an explanatory guide on what earthquakes are considered relevant. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 01:33, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
That was my thought. It's just curious that an article passing WP:GNG could be considered not notable by a WikiProject, which another voter mentioned above. SportingFlyer talk 01:35, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Editors (even me) rarely correctly communicate their full thoughts, I don't think anyone above is solely relying on the earthquakes guideline, but rather neglecting to mention WP:GNG, as it is very common not to mention it if there is a more specific guideline (like saying "fails WP:NPOL", when it by rights should be "Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL".) this really is a overall failing in the guidelines caused by the fact they are a patchwork of different bits written by different people at different times with varying consensuses, and varying adherence to the guidelines since. Hardly the easiest framework to work with. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 01:44, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Question

Does this article have encyclopedic value? If your answer is yes, please explain. Thanks, Dawnseeker2000 02:24, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Yes. As the largest earthquake in the UK for a good few years, and as an earthquake in a seismically stable region with few perceptible earthquakes, and as the event was covered by national news and mentioned internationally, documenting the event is of great encyclopedic value. But don't mistake that as meaning there ought to be a standalone article, that's another matter. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 02:32, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Response OK, I didn't make myself clear as I should have. My intention was to say that encyclopedic value and having an article mean the same thing. PoT, I want to respond to some of your ideas:
1) There are many perceptible earthquakes in the UK. Did you look at the list prior to the trim? Please count them for me and post the total here.
2) The news don't know what they're talking about when it comes to earthquakes. They never mention intensity. See Mikenorton's post about magnitude and intensity below. Going forward, magnitude is not going to be the standard by which we decide whether an EQ is notable. That practice has to stop right now.
3) What is it about this earthquake specifically that makes it stand out? If it's worthy of including, as a stand-alone article or as a list entry, there should be something to say on it. All I'm seeing is 1,000 characters/160 words saying where it happened, what magnitude it was, that there was no impact, and that there was a small aftershock that followed. I don't see anything encyclopedic about that. We can't just list events because they happened.
Dawnseeker2000 01:12, 19 March 2018 (UTC) reply
    • Fair enough, I can't say I disagree. (there is about 120 on the list). I think documenting this event is of encyclopedic value, however I can't see why that should involve a standalone article, when it could be part of a list (as I point out above, below and as you mention). It was the biggest for 12 years in the region, and in my view, that alone is good enough to put it on a list currently filled with all kinds of unverified size medieval earth movements. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 01:34, 19 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Actually it's 224 on the list as restored to its former (and sadly current) indiscriminate glory - what is really odd in that list is the number of 19th-century earthquakes, 80 of them, the medieval ones are positively sparse in comparison. I attempted to shorten it to this, with 36 earthquakes, all with a decent claim for notability. Also I have proposed a way to include other events that will never get their own articles at Talk:List_of_earthquakes_in_the_British_Isles#Draft_summary_for_events_not_notable_enough_for_the_main_list as mentioned below. Mikenorton ( talk) 14:40, 19 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Yes I'm completely uninvolved with the earthquakes WikiProject, but as Prince of Thieves wrote above, even though the earthquake was marginal in size and damage to property, the fact it was a unique and well-documented event makes it an event a person who lived through it is likely to look up. Also as per Prince of Thieves, this yes has nothing to do with the requirements of the actual AfD - I assume you're taking a straw poll. SportingFlyer talk 02:43, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • No - It was the largest for just 12 years, at least the 2008 England earthquake was the largest in England for more than 50 years, that gives it more of a claim I think. It was notable locally, barely nationally and not globally. There was no significant damage or injuries. There's one of these about every 10 years in the UK. I've suggested a way for such earthquakes to be recorded in the List of earthquakes in the British Isles, see Talk:List_of_earthquakes_in_the_British_Isles#Draft_summary_for_events_not_notable_enough_for_the_main_list. Mikenorton ( talk) 11:33, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep or as a 2nd preference merge (not redirect) to the list. UK is a region where earthquakes are rare. Certainly in global terms this is a minnow. It looks as if in UK we sometimes keep articles for UK earthquakes of 4.5 or above. I will add that I remember the earthquake: it woke me up. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
What matters in an earthquake is generally the intensity of shaking, not the magnitude, that's what causes the damage and injuries. There was an earthquake in Barrow-on-Furness in 1865 that has an estimated magnitude of 2.2, but due to its very shallow hypocenter caused maximum shaking of VIII (severe), compared to a maximum of V for the Dudley event (moderate), magnitude cut-offs don't work too well for that reason. Mikenorton ( talk) 17:51, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Not by itself. The information is useful in relation to other earthquakes in the region as a regionally unusual event - but really the sole interest here is on the level of "strongest in X years" sort of information. Icewhiz ( talk) 16:50, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Personally that's why I feel like it would fit on a list, even if not really the right sort of topic for a standalone article. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 17:00, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: update Unknown to all participants here, it turns out there is a world-wide list system covering theme parks, i.e. List of theme parks -> List of amusement parks. I created a redirect from Theme parks in the United Arab Emirates to the already-existing section, List of amusement parks in Asia#United Arab Emirates, which has a subsection for Dubai, which already listed numerous parks and a few planned-but-not-yet-completed projects. I added Sahara Kingdom there. However, as stated in its article Sahara Kingdom is a planned park within larger Dubailand, which has a longish article including a passage on Sahara Kingdom which includes pretty much everything in the current separate article. Redirecting to that passage seems appropriate. Also the Dubai subsection in the list-article (accessible by List of amusement parks in Dubai) also now includes a subsubsection for planned or cancelled projects, which also would be an okay redirect target. But Dubailand appears to be the better target. There is coverage about Sahara Kingdom in above sources whether or not GNG is met (for there to be a separate article), and the project also could revive, so it makes sense to cover it in the parent organization/park article.
People, please note that we are intended to find alternatives to deletion, where possible, which is the case here. Outright deletion is not appropriate, as that does not serve readers seeing mention of this place and searching for it, and it would lose contributions history of development about the topic, if/when a standalone article is again warranted. I first !voted "Merge" above, but change that to "Redirect" now, as there is not substantial info in the article which is not already included in the target ( Dubailand). -- Doncram ( talk) 07:20, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
The sources found above might support redirection as a suitable alternative to deletion, but it's important to take into consideration that Dubailand as a whole is still a project in the midst of a decade-long struggle. Some of these sources are simply stating Sahara Kingdom as a passing mention without much detail. How many of the announcements seen in the press were ideas that were modified or cancelled? Is the current state of the whole theme park still uncertain? While Dubailand may technically deserve its own article, I'm not sure we need redirects for each of the proposed elements and ideas within that project. Doing so could rub up against WP:NOTPROMOTION and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Verifiability doesn't guarantee inclusion, and we want to avoid the unintended consequence of allowing something in that may never receive any closure in secondary sources. In the amusement park world, this happens a lot. You hear a lot about proposals that never solidify, or when they do, it's demise/removal may never get reported. A redirect isn't the end of the world in this situation, but deletion may not be either. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 09:50, 19 March 2018 (UTC) reply

nominated version of the article; etymology-section has been removed after deletion-proposal. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 06:48, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply

WP:OR and WP:POV. The whole article is an original research and Gioferri ( talk · contribs)'s agenda to create Altaic or Turkic origin for many Eurasian peoples. Look at the cited sources and how the mentioned editor interpreted them: Herodotus, Genesis, Jeremia, Darius - Behistun Inscriptions, Avesta - Vendidad, Ptolemaeus - Geographia, Strabo, Erodotus and etc. The article creator only cited one modern scholar (Giampietro Fabbri) and that cited historian's works don not match with the rest of article because the whole article is Gioferri's POV. The user even uploaded this made-up and bogus map, completely unsourced and just based on his pov: [20] Wario-Man ( talk) 06:49, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply

And the cited source "Fabbri" is neither historian nor linguist, he's an engineer. Please see Talk:Proto-Indo-European_homeland#Fabbri and [21]. This article is pure bogus, using WP for promoting an agenda as I mentioned it in my rationale. -- Wario-Man ( talk) 08:49, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Support More Turkomania by yet another obvious Tirgil34 sock. As mentioned, Fabbri teaches industrial engineering and is not a scholar with any relevant credentials, and the article completely depends on Fabbri's work (for which "fringe" is a euphemistic description, it's pure fantasy), but is misleadingly designed to make it seem like it depends on multiple sources. -- Florian Blaschke ( talk) 10:09, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Notability trumps bad article-quality. If the subjects of those other articles, about the Getae and the Massagetae, are notable enough to remain in Wikipedia, then how can we strike off Sagetae? IMVHO , it is a very badly written text (no sources, possible OR, etc); but if our main case against it is that it's badly written, then we should tag it for clean up and give it some time for improvement. Agendas or no agendas. - The Gnome ( talk) 22:20, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment The article can surely be improved. However, as I understand, the main problem is that the author of the source that I cite, Giampietro Fabbri, also has a degree in Engineering. I think that the fact that Fabbri has a degree in Engineering is relevant as that he also has black hair, a blue car or a white dog. I have read the Fabbri’s theory and I have found it interesting and consistent with a large amount of data which the author presents. I have cited part of this theory in a concise way, clearly reporting the sources which are available also online. No user in this page points out discrepancies in the reported theory.
    As I understand, some user believes that I am a sock of an user called Tirgil34 since I would be affected by Turkomania and I would promote the thesis of an Altaic or Turk origin for may Eurasian peoples. On the contrary, I cite the Fabbri’s theory which demonstrates an Indo-European paternity of Altaic peoples.
    As I am new as Wikipedia editor, I can not understand whether “bullshit” has a particular meaning in this context. However, it seems offensive and not a constructive comment aimed to improve the article and Wikipedia.
    I have drawn the map trying to summarise the main informations given by the cited sources. I will check whether I misunderstood them.
    I will try to modify the article taking your constructive comments into account.-- Gioferri ( talk) 22:15, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Gioferri: see Bullshit, a slang profanity term meaning "nonsense", especially as a rebuke in response to communication or actions viewed as deceptive, misleading, disingenuous, unfair or false. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 22:23, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Fabbri's theory might (and I'm not sure about this) have a place (a very short mention) in Thyssagetae and Massagetae. However a standalone topic (a speculative ancestor group with a single proponent) this does not make. Icewhiz ( talk) 07:08, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I thank Prince of Thieves for explaining the meaning of Bullshit. However, I can not understand what has no sense in the original version of the article Sagetae. Joshua Jonathan could explain it in order to let the article be improved.-- Gioferri ( talk) 22:11, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Joshua Jonathan deleted the section that had been entitled “Etymology” since he believes that sources are not reliable, but he does not specify why he believe this. The only motivation for considering unreliable the source that I find expressed in this page is that Fabbri has a degree in engineering. Universities are used to confer degrees “honoris causa” to the people for the quality of the research they performed in a field in which they had no academic degree. This demonstrate that also who has no degree in a particular sector can perform good quality and reliable research in that field. The reliability of a source is not determined by the author’s biography, but, depending on the kind of source, by its consistence, coherence and method. These are to be taking into consideration to evaluate the reliability of the source, but I do not read nothing about these in this page.
    The deletion of the etymology section by Joshua Jonathan seems to be an agenda to cancel theories unreliable from his personal point of wiew. I do not know whether Wikipedia uses a particolar code to define that, but I believe that it is not correct. Instead of deleting the section, Joshua Jonathan could improve it adding other theories that he knows and believes more reliable. I will try to do a similar improvement as soon as I can.-- Gioferri ( talk) 22:22, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Already explained at Talk:Proto-Indo-European homeland#Fabbri, which you seem to ignore. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 05:20, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
I can not find any explaination in that talk. You just reported some parts of Fabbri’s source adding some typographical errors, without pointing out what do you believes incorrect or unreliable and explaining why. I did not add any comment in that page yet since I am still trying to understand what was wrong in my edit. The only motivations for reverting my edit that I can find in that talk are that Fabbri also has a degree in enginering and I am supposed to be a sock of a previous user who was called Tirgil34. Only reading this article for deletion page I learn that Tirgil34 was a turkomaniac who wanted to diffuse his ideas on a Altaic or Turkic origin for many Eurasian peoples. As I have already written, I wonder of this supposition, since I reported Fabbri’s theory which is in contrast with those ideas, considering Altaic peoples as derived by Indo-Europeans. Perhaps, I did not report this part of Fabbri’s theory enough clearly due to necessity of being concise as probably I neither have been.-- Gioferri ( talk) 16:25, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Icewhiz believes that the article Sagetae is a fork of Massagetae and Thyssagetae. However, there are at least two points of view, 1) considering the names Massagetae and Thyssagetae as compound of Sagetae, 2) considering these names as having a different derivation, may be as compound of Getae. From the first point of view the main argument should be Sagetae while Massagetae and Thyssagetae should be treated as derivated. From the second point of view the name Sagetae means nothing. Including Massagetae and Thyssagetae in subsections of an article Sagetae would favour the first point of view. Having no article Sagetae would favour the second one. To be impartial, Massagetae, Thyssagetae, Sagetae, and Getae had to be treated as subsections of an unique article. But how to entitle it? Peoples having a name ending with getae? Perhaps is better to have an article for each of these names with links to the others.-- Gioferri ( talk) 22:36, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Gioferri: a combined article would be a good idea. As the title, you pick the common name, which is the one used most often, or best covered in sources. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 00:56, 16 March 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Prince of Thieves: I agree with you. A combined article could be a good idea. However, I had already tried to add an edit in Massagetae article, but some users reverted it immediately. I though that they were vandalisers, but, as I wrote, in this page I understand that they believe that I am a sock of a turkomaniac.-- Gioferri ( talk) 22:31, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
I see. Well you could try and convince them otherwise. Or just save a copy of this page, don't worry about it and go edit other topics for a while, then come back with a fresh perspective. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 22:34, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete -- Until some sources are added referring the the views of modern academic commentators, I must regard this as WP:OR, trying to draw together two distinct Scythian tribes as if they were one. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:52, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Peterkingiron: Do you consider reliable only the sources of Academics? -- Gioferri ( talk) 22:38, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Peterkingiron: However, you probably read the current version of Massagetae article, while, as I understand, the Etymology section is mainly under discussion, which has been deleted by Joshua Jonathan. In that section it was clearly specified that Massagetae and Thyssagetae were different tribes just bordering on each other and having different customs. -- Gioferri ( talk) 17:46, 19 March 2018 (UTC) reply
@ TimTempleton: Actually, you can find the term "sagetae" in internet at least in Encyclopaedia Britannica https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclopædia_Britannica/Brahui "Sajdi, another Brahui tribal name, is Scythian, the principal clan of which tribe is the Saga, both names being identifiable with the Sagetae and Saki of ancient writers." -- Gioferri ( talk) 11:01, 22 March 2018 (UTC) reply
I will point out that "Sagetae" does not appear anywhere in the current edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica. However the 1911 edition [22] states clearly that it is a anarchic name for the Saga tribe of the Brahui people. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 12:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Yet another credits dump that pretends to be an article. Stub in JP Wiki. MizukaS ( talk) 05:51, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply

@ The Gnome: What about sources such as this, this, and this, among others? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 22:45, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Apologies, Narutolovehinata5, but I do not speak Japanese. I still fail to see how the subject's notability can be established on the basis of English-language media. If the case can be made strictly on the basis of Japanese sources, we will have to first accept that they are reliable, e.g. not "fan sites", "gossip mags", etc. Take care. - The Gnome ( talk) 23:01, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
@ The Gnome: Two of the sources I mentioned, Da Vinci News, and Mynavi, are considered reliable Japanese sources and are frequently used as a source for anime information in both the Japanese and English Wikipedias. Da Vinci News is also published by Kadokawa Corporation, which isn't into publishing fan sites or gossip from what I heard. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 23:06, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Narutolovehinata5: Kadokawa Shoten publishes manga novels and magazines. Without some serious evidence, I would not consider any of its publications to be a reliable source; my first guess would be "promotional material for the company's product" even if indirectly. Per Bloomberg, Mynavi Corporation operates "an information website primarily for job-placement and educational advancement." We could perhaps use its content for data such as number of movies, titles, etc, in anime articles, but as an overall reliable source? That would take a bit of convincing.

Comment, actually, that position is neither "a named chair appointment or distinguished professor", which would indeed fulfill #5.

Onel5969 TT me 10:26, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Comment I agree with Onel: if you actually look it up, it is not a named or endowed chairship, nor it it a named professorship as described in WP:PROF /5. WP:PROF is not met by this point. 104.163.147.121 ( talk) 02:41, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Maybe you missed or mis-read the ArtNews source, which says, "Dietrich has been a longtime supporter of the museum, and led a capital campaign in 2005 by endowing the Daniel W. Dietrich II position now occupied by Sadao." Academic institutions hire librarians and museum directors into endowed chairs, even though the positions may technically be classified as administrative, rather than as teaching faculty. The point is that a named endowed chair for an administrator has the same prestige and honor as a named endowed chair for a faculty member. See, for example, Deborah A. Carver. At any rate, Megalibrarygirl has provided additional RS, showing Sadao also fulfills GNG. Grand'mere Eugene ( talk) 03:03, 15 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Plus this is a mainspace article. We simply don't create articles in anticipation of notability. Given the already accepted low level of notability required for NFOOTY, people certainly shouldn't be creating mainspace articles on players who don't obviously satisfy GNG when they fail footy and to be honest probably shouldn't be creating draft articles either. Fenix down ( talk) 18:12, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Maybe you're right, generally speaking. In this case, Elbouzedi missed the early part of the season due to a pre-season injury. When the previous version was deleted, he was already working his way back from injury by playing in Scottish League Two, and he made his debut in Scottish Championship just four weeks later. A BBC report cited in the original article quoted the team manager stating that he would compete for the team when he was healthy. Nobody commented on this in the original AfD (including me), and this seems to have been a decisive oversight. There isn't a shortage of draftspace as far as I know, so someone could have cited WP:COMMONSENSE. Jack N. Stock ( talk) 18:35, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Collectively, these play an important role in a city. At the very least, a list of these should be kept which will be useful. As we already have an article about a list, I think we can merge. If there is contention about a merge and what content to merge, at I would request a redirect which preserves the history.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 18:26, 17 March 2018 (UTC) reply
    • Since in Singapore context, a bus depot is more like a bus garage than a bus station, so I don't see redirecting the article to List of bus stations in Singapore being relevant. R22-3877 ( talk) 06:12, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
      • I would say bus station is actually an umbrella term. A subheading of bus depot is fine and can be included in the article. The reason I say is because bus depots (particularly if they house more than 100 buses) are fairly large structures which stay over time. Considering that we have articles for every single railway station, a bus depot would be equally significant. I am not arguing for a separate article but I think a redirecting to a list is fine. A list of bus depots in Singapore would be informative to readers as well. Currently we only have the List of bus stations in Singapore as an umbrella article, so I would prefer to redirect it there. In the future is someone does research, they could potentially create a new "List of bus depots in Singapore"-- DreamLinker ( talk) 14:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply
      • Come to think of it, a list of bus depots would be interesting, particularly if the data could be presented in a tabular format with the opening dates, bus capacity, location, owner and other information. That would be helpful and serve the purpose of an encyclopaedia.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 15:27, 18 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - In the UK atleast bus depots are where buses are maintained and stored .... so if this is the same in Singapore then there's absolutely nothing notable about it, If on the other hand it's a bus station then it could be notable however nothing on Google's coming up for me so this either way fails GNG, I object to redirecting as nothing needs preserving, We don't preserve crap like this at all. – Davey2010 Talk 04:22, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Just a comment, I believe he is correct, the misconduct issue was related to the subjects boss, as a bank worker the subject was mentioned in some court documents but was in no way indicated to be involved.

I don't think you are factually correct there. The Times say "FMCP [the complainant] argues that Mr Marino misappropriated the money with the help of Yoshiki Ohmura, a Swiss racing driver who ran the structured investment arm of GAM, a $76 billion hedge fund subsidiary of Julius Baer. Mr Ohmura is also a defendant in the case. He allegedly helped to draw up the "introducer fee" contract between GAM and Ironfly." He may be completely innocent of course but his alleged role seems more than minor and significant enough for The Times to comment on in detail. Philafrenzy ( talk) 14:39, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete articles about business-people are generally non-notable unless well covered in secondary sources. I would say that this a fairly low level/middle management swiss banker who isn't a major figurehead and whose work is not notable. The times coverage is a mention about the misdealings of a company he works for and his boss who was probably corrupt [26]. Bloomberg routinely lists bankers and does not establish notability. hedgefundsclub.com etc are not in my view reliable sources and the FT article is barely a mention. His activity as a racing driver is not even professional, let alone at a higher level, people are not notable for their hobbies that are not covered by reliable sources. I will totally ignore the possibility of this being the subject asking for deletion because the correct venue for that is via an OTRS procedural nomination. However the nominator is correct that this biography is not notable. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 13:56, 14 March 2018 (UTC) reply
If he is so private could you please explain the existence of the HFC page which discusses his motor racing, his business activities and his family, and was clearly done with his agreement, the interview with the Financial Times (agree the other FT ref is minor), and his involvement with the television series Make it your Race of which he says "I’m one of the judges and the coach for the Swiss team. The show was a big success and broadcast in many countries." Here is one of the professionally filmed publicity videos he did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yR0QLe2Qa8 Here is the Ferrari driver page for him: http://races.ferrari.com/en/corse-clienti/drivers/yoshiki-ohmura/ There are numerous other publicity photos and videos on the web. All look professionally done. He doesn't seem that private to me. Isn't it more likely that he has had an attack of privacy since receiving adverse press coverage?
