Non-notable but actively self-promoting corporation. Google search shows no third-party or independent coverage, only considerable promotion marked by the use of a lot of buzzwords. Robert McClenon ( talk) 23:10, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Comment – It isn’t clear whether Saal refers to the company or its products. It probably doesn’t matter, because it doesn’t satisfy corporate notability, software notability, or product notability. Most of the puffery has been removed from this article more than once, but the following remains, which illustrates the overall tone of the article:

 By using the power of NLP (Text), Computer vision (Image), Automatic Speech Recognition (Speech) and drawing inspiration from Neuroscience and Philosophy, Saal is able to accomplish any goal. 

Even after a considerable effort to trim out the buzzspeak, what is left is still a sales job. There is no evidence that the company is notable, but even if it is, the article needs to be blown up.

• Delete I made an attempt to remove most of the blatantly promotional content (and reverted to this after persistent restoration of it), but agree that there is no evidence of notability and WP:TNT is the best course of action. Melcous ( talk) 00:19, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Was created after death, and posted at ITN (where it was rejected - [1]). Appears to fail WP:NBASKETBALL. Black Kite (talk) 22:07, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Delete per nom. I spent some time during the ITNC discussion looking for pre-death coverage and unfortunately came up rather short. Most of what I came across was run of the mill, bordering on trivial and insufficient to ring the WP:N bell via WP:BASIC or NBASKETBALL. Significant coverage does not appear to begin until after the subjects untimely death which places it under the heading of BLP1E. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 22:29, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Neutral Striking my oppose out of deference to clear consensus. This can probably be closed early w/o controversy. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 14:05, 30 March 2018 (UTC) reply
• Keep Meets WP:GNG with multiple sources of significant coverage cited, including many before the recent death coverage. They are not routine, planned coverage of games, but rather articles with Upshaw as the main subject and in the title. Moreover, not meeting an SNG is not a reason to delete. Per WP:NSPORTS: "Subjects that do not meet the sport-specific criteria outlined in this guideline may still be notable if they meet the General Notability Guideline ..." Pro athletes that die while competing will undoubtedly be referenced in the future. The timing of the article's creation and its ITN status are red herrings.— Bagumba ( talk) 22:38, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply
• Weak keep Changed my mind, as the article is evolving (with more details about his life and career being added). Delete Fails condition 3 of WP:NBASKETBALL (no award, no lead in a major statistical category). The timing of the article's creation is clearly no coincidence. Pre-death news coverage is limited, and career highlight is from 2014. Example of recentism: the death of an athlete does not make the athlete notable. If the death is considered the only notable event then the article could be moved to Death of Zeke Upshaw. -- Renerpho ( talk) 23:38, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Keep Per Bagumba's rationale. Upshaw technically fails all 3 of NBASKETBALL's guidelines. In saying that, Upshaw played in the top league in Slovenia in 2014/15, then in Luxembourg's top league in 2015/16. Luxembourg is nothing to ride home about, but Slovenia's league is up there with the best in Europe. GNG clearly supersedes NBASKETBALL here. There is plenty of good coverage from his college days, and a bit more digging can easily expand his professional career section. Google searches are obviously saturated with sources from the past few days, but it's not difficult to find sources from pre-death. DaHuzyBru ( talk) 03:39, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Definitely Keep – The article has been updated to where it talks about his life more thoroughly with sources to back it up as well. And much like Rikster2 and Eddy before me mentioned, it does pass the general notability features that Wikipedia requires for articles like this. So I say keep it as is and don't rename it just off of the surprise death of a player. I mean, we don't do that for people like Len Bias or Reggie Lewis, now do we?

• Comment -- Nom should unbundle these. They're really different from one another and there's no plausible way to discuss them as a group.

Thus I'm calling for a technical close and, if necessary, five separate AfDs to be created. 192.160.216.52 ( talk) 14:47, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply

On what grounds are four members of the same municipal council, none remarkably better-sourced than any other, "different" enough from each other to require unbundling? Are you maybe just copying an argument you saw attempted (but not successfully, I must point out) in another recent NJ-related bundle of politicians? Bearcat ( talk) 17:58, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply

OMG, you're accusing me of copying an argument? On what grounds? Please comment on the contribution, not on the contributor. The grounds are that not one single one of the criteria for bundling is met here. WP:BUNDLE states "If any of the articles you are considering for bundling could stand on its own merits, then it should be nominated separately." Are you asserting that it is unimaginable that one City Councillor might be notable while the others are not? If it's imaginable then it's inappropriate to bundle. 192.160.216.52 ( talk) 18:24, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Calm your jumpies, it was just a question, not an "accusation" (as if that were an accusable crime in the first place) or an ad hominem attack. And at any rate, the appropriateness or inappropriateness of bundling is not determined by whether or not it's "imaginable" that one person in the bundle might be more notable than the rest — it's determined by whether or not one person in the bundle is already explicitly demonstrated as unequivocally being more notable than the rest. But nobody here is. Bearcat ( talk) 05:22, 29 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Where can one find the claim/interpretation you are making other than by you on this page? It would be good to read about it somewhere else on Wikipedia: Please provide links to page that back up what you are saying, thank you. Where is this wordy policy about bundles: determined whether or not one person in the bundle is already explicitly demonstrated as unequivocally being more notable than the rest. that is so confidently presented, certainly not in Wikipedia:BUNDLE, the guiding factor for making bundled nominations. Djflem ( talk) 19:37, 29 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia is not just a system of following the literal letter of written rules; it is also necessary to be familiar with the established consensus around how the rules are actually interpreted in actual practice when there's debate or disagreement about them. If all that was required to make a bundled nomination invalid was that it was imaginable that one of the bundled topics might have a stronger notability basis than the others, then by definition literally nothing would ever be bundlable at all, because that exact claim that a notability differential was imaginable could always be applied to any bundle of any two or more topics. So I'm correct about how BUNDLE actually applies at an AFD: not just "a notability difference between these topics might be imaginable in theory", but "a notability difference between these topics has actually been demonstrated in fact". Bundling Donald Trump here, in the hopes that people just voted "delete all" without actually noticing that Trump was in the batch, would be an inappropriate bundle — but a group of colleagues on the city council of the same city, where none has demonstrated any evidence of having a stronger pass of NPOL #2 than any of the others, is not. Bearcat ( talk)

Wikipedia is not just a system of making up random stuff because it's easier for you. You're not correct about bundling, and if you think you are, why don't you start an RfC to change WP:BUNDLE instead of attempting a sub rosa change in its meaning via some obscure AfD? According to your theory you could bundle any finite set of human beings for deletion on the basis that all humans are similar to some extent and then all of a sudden it's everyone else's responsibility to argue that they have distinct levels of notability. Obviously that's not right so neither is your theory. Why don't you just unbundle them since there's significant desire that you do so? 192.160.216.52 ( talk) 19:38, 30 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Nope, I'm correct about how BUNDLE works, and bundling a bunch of random humans together just because they're all humans, without regard to whether they had different bases for inclusion or not, would fit precisely into what I explicitly said about where bundling is not appropriate. Bearcat ( talk) 18:03, 31 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Delete all. The standard for inclusion of city councillors is not that the city is the largest in its own state, or whether its own local newspaper is a notable one or not — most cities' local newspapers are notable for our purposes, and notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. To get an automatic presumption of notability just for existing as a city councillor, the person has to serve on the city council of an internationally famous metropolitan global city, such as New York City or Los Angeles or Toronto or London. Outside of that range (even in those cities' own external suburbs), a city councillor qualifies for an article only if they can be sourced to a depth and volume and geographic range of coverage that marks them out as plainly more notable than most other city councillors in most other cities. Every city councillor anywhere could always show as much local coverage as any of these contains, because local coverage of municipal politics is quite routinely expected to exist everywhere. To be kept, the standard all of these people would have to clear is not that they exist, or that they can be sourced to some local coverage — they would have to be shown as significantly more notable than most other people at this level of political office, and none of these are.

Somali "town". Satellite imagery shows the claimed location has a handful of enclosures of some kind scattered around but there's no sign of a town or even a village. The one database entry cited describes it as a "locality" which means it's a place and people don't necessarily live there. No other sources to satisfy WP:V or WP:NGEO. Hut 8.5 21:14, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• KeepDelete. Not so sure about this one. Trip Mondo has a page for it and describes it as a city. That's probably pushing it even for Somalia, this page reports a population of 1043 within 7km. Several weather sites are reporting weather for it, eg Accu Weather. The name is definitely in their database, it's not just a generic response, trying some of this users more dubious creations on the same sites (eg Qaydarhagoog) draws a blank. This fishing site is quite informative. It describes Kala Hargo as a sports fishing destination. Not quite verifying that it is an inhabited settlement, but it is definitely a tourist destination and hence notable. Spinning Spark 23:08, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply
  • [2], [3] and [4] are just clickbait: somebody has run an automated process on entries from the database the article also draws from to create pages for the entries in the database. These don't have any real content beyond what was in the database. All the Somali places, including nonexistent ones, have several pages of Google hits for these kind of things - weather forecasts, travel destinations, Islamic prayer times, dating sites, even a site selling T-shirts. I'm less sure about your population estimate but there is a real town about 15 km to the west and I suspect that may be what it's registering. (It's possible it might be an estimate based on the general population density of the region, in which case it doesn't mean anything at all.) Hut 8.5 06:48, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Delete. Candidates in forthcoming elections do not qualify for Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot demonstrate and reliably source that she was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason besides her candidacy, then she has to win the election and thereby hold the seat to become notable as a politician. But this does not offer any evidence that she had preexisting notability for her prior work — the references are entirely to directly affiliated primary sources, and nothing claimed in the article text is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to get over WP:GNG on real reliable source coverage. Also, this is written more like a campaign brochure than an encyclopedia article (giveaway: capitalization of job titles like "PhD Candidate" and "Consultant" and "Program Examiner".)

I found far more sources describing "goat people" as "people who raise goats" than "mythological goat/humans". Does not seem to be a common enough motif to deserve a list to itself, given that half the list is less "goat person" and more anthropomorphic goat or demon.

     The book notes:

     Pan, the half-man/half-Goat fertility God of Greek mythology (sometimes depicted with an erect penis), personifies the potency of the Goat's fecundity, as do creatures of equally fabulous ilk, satyrs, fawns and pookas. When negatively directing their potential, Goat people are typically followers who inconsequentially indulge themselves in shameless activity. They may drink to excess, for example, partake in illicit drugs, boast about their sexual conquests and forcefully exact their sexual wants and desires. They play harmful practical jokes, amuse themselves with cruel taunts and activities that frighten others (reckless driving, for example) and often adopt irrational or unreasonable attitudes regarding the environment and the world as a whole. When demonstrating their positive traits, however, Goat people are gentle and loving. They have an inherent love of animals, plants, the waterways, mountains and nature. They are demonstrative, funny, and sensitive. Goat people are often described as being the 'Salt of the Earth', grounded and sound.

     According to https://www.blueangelonline.com/about_us.html,

     Blue Angel Publishing started as a specialist bookstore and art gallery in 1997 and in 2001 evolved into a publishing company. The first Blue Angel Publishing publication was Toni Carmine Salerno's Universal Love Oracle.

     We are now a small boutique and independent publishing house with a strong network of distribution outlets around the globe and many of our publications are now published in various languages, including Japanese, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Slovenian, Polish, Czech, Portugese, Chinese, Danish, Russian and Norwegian.

     I consider this edited book from an independent publisher to be a reliable source.

     The book notes:

     Goat people
     
     Besides various elves who occasionally take goat form or who have goatlike qualities, there is an entire group who have assumed the characteristics of both men and goats. The most famous of these are the Panes, Satyrs, and Sileni of classical Greece. These were early wood and field spirits who were later changed into the classical half-gods with which we are familiar. The Sileni, or Albanian Goat People, were reduced to Silenus, the drunken old goat-man who followed Dionysos. The Satyrs, once known only in Argos, were suddenly recognized all over Greece as the "gentle gods." The wood and herd Panes were telescoped into "the great god Pan," the pipe-playing nymph ravager.

     In Italy, the Goat People were called Fauni and Silvani, The Fauni, once field spirits who gave nightmares to animals, were honored at state festivals and were changed into the god Faunus. The Silvani, elves who guarded the herds, houses, and land boundaries of the ancient Romans, became the minor god Silvanus.

     [An "Identification" subsection that discusses what Goat People look like.]

     According to the book's title page, the book was first published in 1977 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux and was published a second time in 2009 by Llewellyn Worldwide.
  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Goat people to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  Cunard ( talk) 07:34, 13 March 2018 (UTC) reply

@ Cunard: Umm ... the portion of Arrowsmith's book you quote seems to treat these myths with a degree too much credulity, and according to the publisher's website she has a master’s degree in acupuncture and runs her own healing practice: are you sure her book is a reliable source? As I said in the swamp monster AFD, mythology and folklore are topics of serious academic study, and we shouldn't be relying onfringe popular sources. Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 08:06, 13 March 2018 (UTC) reply

I do not consider the text to be unreliable based on how it's written. From Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction#Plot summaries of individual works: "In articles on individual works, the plot summary is usually described within a section labeled 'Plot', 'Story', or 'Synopsis'. This heading implicitly informs the reader that the text within it describes the fiction. For conciseness, it is thus not necessary to explicitly incorporate out-of-universe language". I believe Arrowsmith decided for concision not to use out-of-universe language (like "The Fauni, who was said in myths to be once field spirits who gave nightmares to animals" instead of "The Fauni, once field spirits who gave nightmares to animals") because it is clear to the reader that this is mythology.

The New York Times said of the book, "Rationalists, materialists, be forewarned: the ancient forces governing earthly incident and momentum lie neither in our heads nor our economics, but, rather, in the revelations from A Field Guide to the Little People." I don't consider this book, which was first published by mainstream publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1977, to be a fringe source based on the author's background.

Cunard ( talk) 08:50, 13 March 2018 (UTC) reply

I drafted a reply to an earlier comment that made it clear that there is a difference between "fiction" and what we are supposed to be writing here, but apparently forgot to post it. The guideline you quote definitely does not apply to articles on mythology and folklore, as I already painstakingly explained here. Anyway, are you aware that "Fauni" is plural? Your above hypothetical amendment to Arrowsmith's text seems to imply you are not, even though it is obvious from her grammar, and the NYT quote appears to agree with my reading of the source as fringe "the fairies are real" stuff, not with your assertion to the contrary. It is very difficult to discuss topics like this with editors who are not reading their own sources as closely as I am, and FS&G being a "mainstream" publisher is frankly irrelevant, as they're not an academic publisher known for strict fact-checking of content submitted to them by authors who promote fringe spiritualist theories -- Doubleday is a mainstream publisher, but that doesn't magically make The Da Vinci Code a reliable source on anything.

Funny coincidence: I last heard the name "Doubleday" in a lecture by John Meier about his influential series A Marginal Jew, which is a well-regarded scholarly work on exactly the kind of stuff Dan Brown got so wrong in his book; no general publishing house can be used as a measure of the "reliability" of everything they print, one way or the other.

@ Hijiri88: I based my close on sources provided by Cunard which passed GNG. I did further research after I revert my own close out of good faith. But to answer your question the revert forced me to do further research and I have provided sources which suggest this is clearly notable as an article. I was completely neutral at the time which is why I pinged you as a good faith editor. It appears you agree with my sources as defining the subject. But no, I had no favors keep or delete.

Valoem ^{talk contrib} 03:21, 3 April 2018 (UTC) reply

So, you are saying that you ignored (or read and then immediately threw out) my comments that demonstrated how Cunard's sources were completely useless? GNG has nothing to do with it anyway, since the concept of half-goat/half-human beings already has a separate article and the present title of this article is more likely to refer to other ( WP:INDISCRIMINATE) topics like people who raise goats.

No the initial nomination focused on this referring to people who deal with goats. My interpretations at the time believed source provided showed it focused on the mythological being. You made a strong argument which was then countered by Cunard. Further analysis suggests the discussion did not have a consensus, and was then updated to be closed as such. However, you disagreed and I reopened the discussion. I did further research as people generally do when questioned about a close which at the time I had no leanings. I've since found multiple scholarly sources which I listed below as well as additional book sources. These sources have yet to be countered. I now believe this should be kept.

Others have tried to patch it up with sources that only address satyr plays, etc. While it's true that articles like (totally unsourced) List of piscine and amphibian humanoids exist, that's not a compelling reason (to me) for creating one more. - LuckyLouie ( talk) 15:17, 2 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Updated sources There are additional sources which speak of Glaistig and Pan and goat man/goat woman

Richard P. Martin (1 April 2003). Myths of the Ancient Greeks. Penguin Publishing Group. pp. 63–. ISBN  978-1-101-12698-1.

The book notes:

Hermes was mightily pleased. He tenderly lifted the goat-child and wrapped it in the softest hides of a mountain hare. Holding the baby to his chest, he set out for Olympus, to introduce his new son to the other gods. All of them were abolutely delighted, especially Dionysus. Since all were made happy by the infant, that is what they called him: "All" or, in Greek, Pan.
Any human being unlucky enough to be alone in those wild places might chrink in fear hearing this powerful uncanny sound, an uncomfortable feeling that people began to call "panic", after the goat-god who caused it.

This is an independent publisher and reliable source.

Sue Weaver (16 April 2011). The Backyard Goat: An Introductory Guide to Keeping and Enjoying Pet Goats, from Feeding and Housing to Making Your Own Cheese. Storey Publishing, LLC. pp. 142–. ISBN  978-1-60342-699-2.

The book notes:

Goat woman

The Glaistig water fairies of Scotland are half woman, half goat. Though they can be dangerous, they enjoy looking after human farmers' cattle, as well as children and old folk.

According to the book's title page, the book focus on goat farmers but makes references to the mythos.

Another source is:

Morgan Daimler (8 December 2017). Fairies:: A Guide to the Celtic Fair Folk. John Hunt Publishing. pp. 83–. ISBN  978-1-78279-696-1. This source given detailed coverage of Glaistig. This should conclusively show that each creature on the list has been referred to as "goat man" and/or "goat woman". Valoem ^{talk contrib} 17:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Reviewing your sources here, it seems clear to me that if anything like this list is going to stay, it's going to have to be renamed. The Daimler and Weaver pieces are not reliable sources (they're non-specialists making general observations), and the first instance refers to Pan as a "goat-god", whatever that's worth. If we're going to keep something resembling this list, it's probably going to need a new title and will definitely need to have a defined scope. We're also going to need to keep superior sources as a mandatory requirement (then again, we should be doing this anyway). :bloodofox: ( talk) 21:17, 2 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Will someone at least remove the entry for "Chinese mythology"? It clearly uses the phrase "goat people" to refer to people born in the Chinese Year of the goat. It has nothing to do with the topic of mythological goat-humans. - LuckyLouie ( talk) 17:37, 2 April 2018 (UTC) reply

@ RoySmith: Your opinion on what should be done with this article seems identical to mine, but you frame it the exact opposite way.

Can't even understand most of these Keep votes. When you search for your description, we literally have a page for that article.

• Comment - suspect this is Badar Shah Following the instructions of Hazrat Shah Jalal (R), Badar Shah and the twelve Awlias defeated King Achak Narayan of Taraf and established Muslim rule there. Badar Shah then started to spread the message of islam in Chittagong. Several places in Chittagong are associated with him: Badartila (hathazari thana), Badarkhali (chokoria thana), Badarkua (cox's bazar) and Badar Mokam (Akyab in Arakan).

In 1340 Badar Shah helped kadal khan gazi, the general of fakruddin Mubarak shah, to capture Chittagong. The original name of Chittagong, Chattagram, is believed to have derived from the word chati or lamp. According to the legend, in the fourteenth century Chittagong was overrun by jinns and fairies who .... [12] we also have this story here - Badarkhali. Seems like this is probably notable (e.g. SOLDIER - the Awlias seem to have been accompanying a military force - 3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry. Shah Jalal seems to have had 360 Awlias, so 12 might not be so many in the Awlias scale) - but this needs Bengali sources. Icewhiz ( talk) 12:55, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply

I disagree. I think this is General (Sipahsalar) Syed Nasiruddin, mentioned at Shamsuddin Firoz Shah#Expansion of kingdom. If kept, I think the article should be moved to "Syed Nasiruddin". I see mention of him under that name in a number of places at google books, but the only detail that he led in the battle against Gaur Govinda ( "nasiruddin", "syed+nasiruddin", and many books with only snippet view for me). I'm fairly sure Badar Shah is a different figure; in some sources, both names are present and seemingly designating different individuals ( p140 and p160). One page, Habiganj District, said that there was once a state, Nasirabad, named for Nasiruddin Sipahsalar, but I am suspicious, as there are plenty of Bengali Nasiruddin's who were better known and could have served as a namesake (see: here) and I cut it. A version of this text has existed at that page since December, 2008( [13]). As such, I think we should probably keep and cleanup this article if it he is deemed encyclopedic or keep an eye out for and tabs on recreations if not. Smmurphy^{( Talk)} 19:34, 28 March 2018 (UTC) reply

We possibly have a synthesis here of two individuals here (unless this copy-paste story dates back to the 14th century...) - I went the alternate route of checking the underlying story (which I often do when I think that there would be a multitude of transliterations possible for the name) - starting out from "At Shah Jalal's direction, accompanied by twelve saints, he attacked and defeated king Achak Narayan of Taraf and became administrator there" - I see the story of the army with the twelve Awlias defeating King Achak Narayan of Taraf ascribed to Badar Shah. Icewhiz ( talk) 06:19, 29 March 2018 (UTC) reply

I'm not sure I follow. There is a list of the twelve Awlias at Shaharpara - with brief biographies of each in an older version of that page [14]. None of them have names that match Badar Shah or Syed Shah. The pir for Syed Shah is in Habibganj, while that of Badar Shah is in Chittagong. This page has Syed Nasiruddin born in Baghdad, while Badr Shah was, I think, born in Meerut [15] [16]. Also, I found the entry in Banglapedia (2003) for Syed Nasruddin [17]. This article is a copy of that, thus I have !voted below. The entry for Badar Shah is here: [18]. Smmurphy^{( Talk)} 20:08, 29 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Speedy Delete as a copyvio. [19] The subject is encyclopedic, as he has an entry in Banglapedia, the national encyclopedia of Bangladesh (per ANYBIO, anyone with such an entry is likely suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia).

I'm not sure that is how copyright violations are handled. In this case, the entire page is a copy, and there is not old version of the page which is not a copy. Hence, there is no amount of revdel that would deal with the problem ( WP:DCV). Smmurphy^{( Talk)} 16:21, 2 April 2018 (UTC). reply

• Delete per nomination. - The Gnome ( talk) 16:29, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply
• Merge to a new article about National Party leadership elections in general. It's not an inherently invalid topic — people are interested in the leadership histories of political parties, and they do get media coverage — but it's not necessarily the case that every leadership election always needs its own standalone article even if there's very little that can actually be said about it because it was a one-candidate race that ended in an acclamation. A better approach is what we do with New Democratic Party leadership elections in Canada: we start with an overview article about the overall phenomenon of the party's leadership elections in general. It directly contains all of the content about the races where we can't really write or source anything significant, because they were one-candidate or "incumbent leader challenged only by a minor fringe candidate who had no chance of actually winning" formalities, and then the races about which we can write and source more content have their own separate articles which are briefly summarized under a "main article" link to the standalone subpage. This isn't an inherently invalid topic, but it doesn't really need its own standalone article — including a brief summary of it in an overview article is a better approach in this case. Bearcat ( talk) 18:49, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Some of these elections, where they are contested, might be interesting enough to justify standalone articles, but for pro-forma processes like this where there is only one candidate, dressing them up as an "election" is borderline misleading for our readers.

• Keep There are many sources that discuss this modest hotel, because French superstar Édith Piaf lived there for several years at the beginning of her career. Several book length biographies of Piaf discuss the hotel, and it is mentioned in her Wikipedia biography. Readily available news stories discuss this historic Paris hotel, sometimes in great detail. Please do your homework per WP:BEFORE. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:18, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply

I did before. I found lots of websites to book a room there. It's just a hotel. Notability is not inherited from who lived there. This little page does not tell anything about the place except some one stayed there. Legacypac ( talk) 06:22, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply

I agree with the nominator. As it happens, I know about this particular hotel from way back, personally. I passed by it in the early 1980s, too. The reason, yes, is that Piaf lived there for a while. But this is not the Chelsea, where many famous people, mostly artists, lived and congregated. All we have about this hotel is Piaf's stay there. Nothing else whatsoever. Does this make it notable?- The Gnome ( talk) 10:54, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

An appropriate place to mention it is in her bio. You might even consider a redirect of the hotel name to her bio. But there are presumably no RS discussing the hotel as a stand alone topic. Legacypac ( talk) 15:59, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Should have been speedied, since it is a recreation of an article which was deleted just over a year ago, and has even less claim to notability now.

Ajf773 - I removed the G6 tag, as I believed the previous AfD was lacking (Due to editors not trusting non-English sources, and the idea that to pass GNG, sources need to be verifiable. I understand there is an argument for WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES here; and that video game magazines sometimes struggle to establish notability, and as such wouldn't go against the deletion process, however, the article was re-created by another user, and removed the tag.

I apologies for this, as I (for whatever reason), I thought the AfD was older than it was. I then saw the article was PROD'd for a second time, which confused me, as I thought under WP:CONTESTED that once an article had it's PROD removed, it shouldn't be re-added and thus go to AfD. Is that wrong? Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 09:38, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Hi Lee Vilenski - I didn't Prod it, I nominated it for speedy deletion, citing the AfD from last year. Doesn't look like this particular incarnation of the article has ever been prodded. Once you removed the speedy (which you have every right to do, not being the article's creator), since I disagreed with your rationale for removing the speedy tag, I took it to AfD. Take care.

Ok thanks for clearing this up.

I understand your confusion. G6 was not really applicable, but the article probably should have been deleted under WP:CSD#G4.

• Keep. Puzzled by the nom. She has two substantial profiles in major national outlets--the Times of India and the Hindustan Times--as well as the other recognition, including internationally. I realize the entry is not very well-developed in terms of drawing on those sources but AfD is about available secondary sources, not how they've been used to date... Innisfree987 ( talk) 19:26, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Times of India refers to her listing in 100 BBC Women. Hindustan Times refers to her appearing in 30 under 30. Are there sufficient secondary source articles about her that show notability independent of her being listed? Not at the article as currently presented. The ones presented by Bilorv are potentially good sources. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:35, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply

(EC) Short answer: yes the sum of these sources is sufficient. I don't see why noting of this international attention in the profiles would be disqualifying. It'd be a problem if these outlets had simply run two-sentence pieces noting this recognition and nothing more, but instead they ran substantial profiles--detailed coverage rather than trivial mentions, which is our test.

I'm confident I could (and perhaps later this week will) prove the point that we have sufficient secondary source coverage by significantly expanding the entry based on the information these sources offer, but I'll admit I get fussed when it comes to that, as it amounts a major and non-community-approved revision to the standards of AfD, in which showing the existence of sources is supposed to suffice; they do not yet have to be incorporated into the four corners of the extant entry. That's only the standard for CSD. Innisfree987 ( talk) 20:09, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply

I've expanded the article a bit based on the sources already there and those I listed above – though more expansion would of course be welcome. I agree that whether sources are included or not in the article is irrelevant for AfD, and WP:BEFORE gives clear guidelines on the level of searching for sources that is expected before bringing something to AfD. — Bilorv _{(c) (talk)} 20:43, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Thanks, the recently presented articles are helpful as they show she can be notable without having to be on those lists. If it were riding solely on BBC 100 Women and Forbes, it wouldn't survive the AFD.I'll go ahead and pull this. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 21:00, 20 March 2018 (UTC) updated 21:21, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply

My concern about going with anything post-BBC and post-Forbes would be that the notability would be circular. She's famous because she got listed which would then enable her to garner articles and press coverage about her which would then make her famous. I want to ensure she can be Wikipedia-notable because of what she is doing, that she is getting coverage not in response to the list. That the 2017 Deccan and later articles doesn't even mention her placement on such lists is helpful, but if there are any significant coverage articles pre-BBC list, pre-Forbes, let's get some of those added. Like Pieroni's article in 2014 [21] AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 21:36, 20 March 2018 (UTC) reply

As our policies currently stand though, that cycle isn't relevant to the worth of the sources. Discounting them on that basis would be a violation of WP:NPOV, which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic. We're not to substitute personal opinion for the editorial judgment of reliable sources. A given Wikipedian may personally think sources should not pay attention to the Forbes or BBC lists, but if one really objects to that, the place to take it up is with the publications in question--or, I suppose, with a differently structured encyclopedia. Wikipedia's project, though, is merely to summarize what reliable press and research journals see fit to cover. By our own declaration, we are not a reliable source, and instead we depend on those that are. Innisfree987 ( talk) 20:27, 30 March 2018 (UTC) reply

It's more that they raise promotional concerns. WP:SPIP Forbes and BBC 100 Women articles are considered primary and it can be argued that 30 under 30 is promotional, and the articles immediately written afterwards are being scrutinized for short-term notability WP:NRV and WP:NOTNEWS. Is that scrutiny of discounting those considered editorial bias? If a reporter writes a "where are they now" article in 2017, that's fine, in fact, those are the news articles that are now serving as the basis for sourcing this Wikipedia article. They are removed from the promotional cycle of 2015 and are coming from a variety of newspapers that aren't influenced by Forbes or BBC Women or those related news agencies. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 16:26, 31 March 2018 (UTC) reply

This exemplifies my bias concern. Forbes and BBC 100 Women articles are considered primary--by whom? They would obviously be primary if the subjects were publishing in Forbes about themselves, but we just received a helpful RS noticeboard opinion noting that the list is written by Forbes staff--and that independent notice is exactly the barometer you cite at WP:SPIP. The proposal we repeatedly depart from policy in handling this entry is concerning to me. Innisfree987 ( talk) 17:17, 31 March 2018 (UTC) reply

They are primary in the "Here's the list that I made" sense. The news articles in reaction to it is secondary. The only thing that we can do is add a single line about it, and I have to apply my editorial bias in that I don't believe being on 30 under 30 or BBC 100 Women makes her notable for ANYBIO as discussed below. So I removed that line from the lead paragraph as consistent with the Forbes List query and response. But these are giving grounds for more RS articles to be written about her. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 17:20, 31 March 2018 (UTC) reply

I am going to soon tap out because the outcome is so clear, but before I go, "Here's a list I made"--or "here's an essay I wrote", "here's my journal article"--could be primary sources, but only if we were debating an entry about the person who made the list/essay/article. But instead we are using them on one of the topics of the list, not its author. For that it is a secondary source, and RS per noticeboard to boot. It and all related coverage in RS are valid secondary sources to contribute to WP:BASIC, and there's no need to meet ANYBIO if BASIC is met. Innisfree987 ( talk) 17:40, 31 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Keep I added additional citations to her article. There is extensive in-depth coverage of her in newspapers and on major websites like BBC, Forbes, Times of India and Hindustan Times. Easily passes WP:GNG for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." She passes WP:ANYBIO for "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field" due to her work with people who are deaf. She passes WP:TEACHER because "The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity" while teaching Indo-Pakistani Sign Language. This impact of her work has been noted worldwide, which is how she ended up on so many lists of notable people. Lonehexagon ( talk) 07:42, 25 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Sorry, I'd love to change my opinion but I still see nothing of substance out there. The subject of the article is a teacher of sign language, the owner of a coffee shop, and a TV news presenter. And, no matter how many bits of text about her appear here and there, practically that's all there is to it! Trivial coverage of the subject in sources is not be sufficient to establish notability. Can we seriously claim that she's a notable person just because she does admirable work for speaking-and-hearing-impaired people? - The Gnome ( talk) 08:13, 25 March 2018 (UTC) reply

The coverage is in-depth and not trivial; whether or not you think the subject is trivial is irrelevant. Any of the three of the jobs you listed can qualify someone for an article here – see Category:Disability rights activists by country, Category:Coffeehouses and Category:Indian television presenters. Claiming that a subject is not notable "no matter how many bits of text about her appear here and there" is almost exactly the opposite of the actual notability definition of "those [subjects] that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time", which is judged by "evidence from reliable and independent sources" ( WP:N). — Bilorv _{(c) (talk)} 10:51, 25 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Sporadic and often suspect bits and pieces, and similar material, do not for notability make. You offer as retort to my argument about what the subject actually does in life the category of "coffeehouses", but this AfD is about a coffee house owner or sponsor; not a place. As to "TV presenters" and "activists", you misunderstood. I did not say she's not qualified because she's in these fields of activity. I object to her inclusion because, in my view, she's a TV presenter and an activist who's not notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. That's all. - The Gnome ( talk) 17:21, 26 March 2018 (UTC) reply

How does she qualify for WP:TEACHER when she is not an educator in the classroom sense or an academic? The TED talk describes her as an entrepreneur, or CEO and founder. And I'm not sure what you mean by disabilities activist. Do you have RS articles that indicate her occupation as teacher and activist? AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:08, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Even if you don't think she qualifies for WP:TEACHER, don't you think she qualifies for WP:GNG due to significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject? [22] [23] [24] [25] Lonehexagon ( talk) 03:59, 31 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• WION article - "Smriti Nagpal, the owner of Atulyakala," (implies entrepreneur, not teacher)

  Deccan Chronicle - "says the young social entrepreneur." (social entrepreneur)

  Times of India - "started a social enterprise" (social entrepreneur)

  Hindustan Times - "She is a sign language interpreter working tirelessly for the emancipation of people with hearing disability." (sign language interpreter)

  So if she isn't going in as a WP:TEACHER, don't apply those criteria. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 14:59, 31 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  Okay so the discussion actually just cites a Wikipedia article saying there are 41 lists (which I can't even see in the article, but I'll take it as true anyway); the "clickbait" and "non RS for BLP" are your own words and nothing to do with the noticeboard. Your argument "When you have 41 of something, it is of zero value" is patently absurd (I'm sure there are more than 41 New York Times articles published in a week and all are of value).

  I think the point is that per WP:ANYBIO, being listed on Forbes or BBC 100 Women is not a "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times." AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 15:15, 31 March 2018 (UTC) reply

  No one has argued keep on the basis of ANYBIO. The BBC and Forbes pieces are merely two additional pieces toward WP:BASIC's requirement for multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. And Scope_creep has offered us an RS noticeboard opinion that the Forbes 30 under 30 list is RS, and written by staff independent of the subjects.

The Guardian lists him for his honour, which definitely isn't significant coverage. The reference to the Independent does not mention or cover Jackson at all. The Times piece is the only one that constitutes significant coverage, but it's not independent of the subject as the GNG requires. The author is Jackson's old boss, as she mentions in the article.

• Comment Ralbegen's forensic work above is quite conclusive on the issue. - The Gnome ( talk) 17:32, 26 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment - Nope. Per Who's Who In Cameron's Resignation List? "Political allies and spinners, a "stylist" and the referendum campaign losers - the full list of those honoured by David Cameron." Jackson was a Member of the British Empire (MBE), honored by PM Cameron which satisfies verifiability and adds to stacking for notability. He was Head of Operations under 2 PMs, Cameron and May; a rather notable task. The Times writes about him, "Ms Perrior says her “fixer” Richard Jackson, second right, helps the PM avoid campaign pitfalls". There are other RS to stack for multiple coverage over his career - example: BBC, "Tory spokesperson complained about Mark Clarke in 2008", and Telegraph. Also see WP:GNG & WP:NNC which states:

1. ...it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
2. ...There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Sources do not have to be available online...
3. ...The notability guidelines do not apply to contents of articles or lists (with the exception of some lists, which restrict inclusion to notable items or people). Content coverage within a given article or list (i.e. whether something is noteworthy enough to be mentioned within the article or list) is governed by the principle of due weight and other content policies.

He meets the requirements of both GNG and POLITICIAN. ^{Atsme 📞 📧} 20:00, 26 March 2018 (UTC) reply

@ Atsme: The GNG says that a topic needs to receive significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. None of the sources presented meet those criteria - there's some trivial coverage in independent reliable sources and some significant coverage in non-independent reliable sources. So I don't see how he can pass GNG? And I don't think that his office gives him notability by WP:POLITICIAN. It's not so much national political office as working for a national politician, and there are plenty more non-notable staffers that would be covered by such an interpretation. Regardless: at the head of the additional criteria it spells out that "meeting one or more [additional criteria] does not guarantee that a subject should be included". Ralbegen ( talk) 21:03, 26 March 2018 (UTC) reply

@ Atsme Sorry but Jackson is not notable enough according to the criteria for a mixed martial artist. Yep, those criteria are about as relevant to the subject of the article as is WP:POLITICIAN. Mr Jackson is not a politician. (I've no idea if he's into karate chops.) As to the quotes from the rules you copied above: The 3rd one is irrelevant, and you omitted the important portion from another, i.e. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material (emphasis added). Perhaps significance is in the eye of the beholder. To me, this is a background actor in an ensemble play. (Should we try WP:ACTOR?) - The Gnome ( talk) 13:17, 29 March 2018 (UTC) reply

@ James500: I agree the page can be safely renamed, but please do not ignore the fact that many references cited on this page are not even considered RS. Seemingly the event passes GNG but If you scrutinize the sources closely, you will found most of them are press release sites who copy each other (for example [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38]). And then some of the material is backed up by RS but is not relevant such as "The trend of getting online and using ..... Pakistan half among them are present on Mobile." Similarly, "Entire Grand Diwali Mela" section is irrelevant in this article, in my opinion. Coverage about the event in the Pakistani RS (such as Dawn, Nation, The News and Daily Pakistan) are published pre-event and are merely press releases if you look at them closely. For example, all the coverage about this event in Dawn is sponsored and paid. See the bylines [39], [40], [41], [42]. The same can be true for press coverage in other Pakistani RS. If indeed this had been a major event, Dawn would had definitely ran a couple of unpaid news stories but they did not. -- Saqib ( talk) 20:51, 27 March 2018 (UTC) reply

• Delete This is not a google event, so the name is incorrect. Per Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not, Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion and this article is precisely that: unambiguous promotion. I also found the sources (even though they are all from well known media outlets ( Daily Pakistan, The News International, The Express Tribune, Boy Genius Report, Zee News and The Nation (Pakistan)) suspiciously similar. With the exception of the Tribune, they're virtually identical, and there is no reason to cite them all other than to give the impression that the event has received much attention in the press. I suspect they are all minor rewrites from release by a news agency, probably INP (inp.net.pk). That's not a lot of independent reporting, that's one piece that got republished a number of times. Given the state of the media, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was paid for. It certainly reads that way. Vexations ( talk) 19:19, 1 April 2018 (UTC) reply

  (expand) another point I want to make is that all the coverage in the media precedes the event.

This is a biography (perhaps an autobiography) of a person who has not achieved encyclopedic notability. Sources are either Wikipedia, IMDB, a HuffingtonPost contributor and a blog, none of which would we consider reliable, in-depth and independent. When I first came across this article a few days ago, I placed a few citation-needed tags on it. But despite a goodly number of edits since then, the only new sourcing has been some directory listings.

Most recently, I've been in a small edit war with an IP address over whether the article should contain the name of a non-notable child. I recognize that this in itself is not a good reason for deletion, but it did cause me to change my mind about waiting longer before nominating here.
