The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. There is firm consensus here that this page is not suitable for the mainspace. I could draftify it again, but given that the creator has edit-warred over moving it to mainspace, I am not going to refund this unless and until the creator undertakes to work on it in draftspace only. It can be moved to mainspace by someone else if and when it passes AfC. Vanamonde ( talk) 16:31, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Non-notable producer. Can't find any actual reliable sources to support the claims here and i'm not even sure that the awards are notable. Possibly WP:TOOSOON CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 22:48, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • I sincerely apologize for any inconveniences, the first time I tried to write Wikipedia, I was hundred and bullied, I ran away since because I felt that was very mean to me. I came back just last month,though I have been reading comments,correcting small issues. However, this article was given to me by a new editor who just registered.That been said, the Nollywood industry is multifaceted there kaniwood,Yoruba Nollywood,Igbo Nollywood and even Ghana Nollywood. The young man in question has really created a niche for himself, in an industry that is dominated by older generation. He has not just been a producer, but has created platform for young people. It is important I explain these things.
    However, I'm still asking for direction as regards to the article, if you know how to make it better to be published do let me know thank you. 13th September 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabregado ( talkcontribs) 14:50, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Draftify This article is going through the AfC process and clearly still has a ways to go. signed, Rosguill talk 03:16, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - The principal author of this page moved it into article space when it was not ready for article space. I agree with Rosguill that draft space is a better place, and with Chrissymad that the case for notability has not been made. Robert McClenon ( talk) 04:24, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    • My response: I have been asking for help since last month on what next to do, it was moved straight to draft as soon as I uploaded it. So I started editing it by removing a lot of things that were included. Up till now I'm still willing to modify whatever you want to be modified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabregado ( talkcontribs) 14:50, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Question - For an admin, if we Draftify, and this page is moved to article space again without review by a reviewer, does that mean that we have to AFD it all over again, or does that mean that the principal author can be blocked for disruptive moving, or what? We are here because there was already one non-consensus move to article space. Therefore:
  • Draftify as an alternative to deletion, with the understanding that either Delete or Block are available if there is move-warring. Robert McClenon ( talk) 04:24, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - I do not want to argue over whether to delete or to draftify. My primary concern is to remove it from article space, for which it is not ready. I do not know whether it will ever be ready for article space. My guess is that it never will. The question is whether to give the author a chance, or to delete it now. I had not been seeing it as an autobiography. Is it an autobiography? Do we know that, or are we guessing? I will comment that the author moved it into article space without waiting for a reviewer. User:Rosguill - Do you think that it will be ready to be an article? Robert McClenon ( talk) 20:32, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
I think that there are some indications that the subject is a notable figure within Nollywood and thus could possibly be improved to comply with GNG, and I don't think there's any evidence of autobiography. Moreover, based on edit summaries, Fabregado appeared to be moving to article space in good faith, even if we deem their judgment of the article's quality to have been incorrect. Per WP:BITE it seems a bit harsh to nominate for deletion at this time. signed, Rosguill talk 20:42, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Based on what sources? BITE doesn't apply here. The creator has been given plenty of guidance and warnings prior to this AFD. Winning non-notable awards doesn't help notability. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 21:09, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
I am generally hesitant to vote for deletion when a lack of notability could be a consequence of systemic bias. Additionally, looking at Fabregado's talk page, I see lots of warnings (for other articles) and not much guidance, plus a clear misunderstanding on their part of how to send messages in a way that their desired recipients will read them, which leads me to believe that moving the article from draft was likely due to not understanding (or having read) WP:GNG. If they were to do this again after this AfD, I would consider their benefit of the doubt to have expired, but we're not there yet IMO. However, the more I review this article the less I believe that there is any possibility of notability. signed, Rosguill talk 21:31, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
I have for at least a year had mostly negative thoughts about the BITE - the guideline not to bite the newcomers. This discussion is a new reason why I don't like it. My basic problem with WP:BITE is that it is a guideline, but has been elevated to the status of a commandment, superseding not only guidelines but policies. I have seen editors tie themselves in knots in dealing with problematic new editors in order to avoid being bitey. This discussion identifies another problem, which is that it is being applied to the wrong subject. The guideline, or commandment, was only ever meant to apply to editors. Here it is being applied to an article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and quality of the encyclopedia should be foremost, because the purpose of behavioral policies and guidelines is to maintain a workplace in which the quality of the encyclopedia is upheld. If a page does not belong in article space, it should not be left in article space only because an editor is acting in good faith but is mistaken (as to notability or whatever). What should have been done instead of nominating the article for deletion? It could have been unilaterally draftified, but, since it had just been promoted by the author, that would have been move-warring. If it fails notability, it fails notability, and the good-faith of its author does not make it notable. Robert McClenon ( talk) 21:52, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
So let's discuss notability considerations, not whether to be nice to a new editor. Robert McClenon ( talk) 21:52, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • So what exactly do we need to know about the person in question?
    Notability in Nigeria is very subjective, it is a polarized place where people place premium on different issues. What maybe notable to you from the north may not for me from the East. That aside,I think we need to understand that the person in question has done more than I have written. He may not be widely popular because he is not on the screen, but he has really done so much not just for himself but the society at large, at his age and background . He is an inspiration to many people around here.
    But that's not the point. The point is,I need to know the exact problem so that I will correct it immediately.
    Please don't be hard on me,I'm still learning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabregado ( talkcontribs) 14:50, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    • I would suggest that you read through Wikipedia's general notability guideline, as well as Wikipedia's subject-specific notability guideline for biographies of creative professionals to get an idea of how notability is determined. The issue isn't so much that there is contentious information in the article that needs to be removed, rather the article's subject does not appear to pass the criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia. We need more citations to in-depth coverage at reliable secondary sources unaffiliated with the subject. Currently, the article cites an interview (generally not used to justify notability due to its reliance on content provided by the subject), a stub listing of the subject's career profile (not independent, not a secondary source), some YouTube links (not secondary sources, probably not independent, don't provide in-depth coverage of the subject), and an award announcement for an award that doesn't appear to pass the notability guideline itself (not in-depth coverage, possibly not independent). signed, Rosguill talk 17:38, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete does not meet the notability guidelines. I am considering here that there are many reliable news sources in Nigeria, and none of them have reported on this subject. Any notable subject will have been reported on by local sources. This is not a notable subject. — Frayæ ( Talk/ Spjall) 17:54, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Film producers, as well as cinematographers and film editors, rarely get significant coverage, unless they have a substantial number of notable productions to their credit, and then often because one or several of their films have won national level awards. Here we have a WP:UPE ( permalink) bio of a person with no notable films to his credit, and the prize received is from the local chapter of the Actors Guild of Nigeria; fails WP:ANYBIO as well as WP:BASIC/ WP:GNG.
    In regards to draftification: technically this article has only been in main space once, namely this time, and therefore technically it could have been moved to draft space unilaterally. However, since article creator's two first moves of the page showed clear intention of publishing the article, and since the third move must be regarded as a very active objection to draftification, it is well within the spirit of WP:DRAFTIFY when Crissy nominates this for AFD, cf. Other editors (including the author of the page) have a right to object to moving the page, and to have the matter discussed at WP:AfD. WP:BITE is not relevant here.

This page simply copies information from the transit authority's website without providing much additional material, unlike many other bus route lists which have historical background or detailed route statistics. Unfortunately, there does also not seem to be a significant or even existing group of editors available to keep this information updated, which would be required every route change, so in its current form, this list is forever outdated.

This is an individual who tragically died at age 30. She was also the sister of a cross-country skier on Norway's national team, thus garnering attention. Ida Eide was also a skier herself, but as the article admits, not a comparatively accomplished one at that. Her highest level of competition was the nondescript Scandinavian Cup, with no top-15 placements in the national championships either.

Given the COI declaration and the subsequent discussion below, changing !vote to Redirect to Paul Kalas, with the understanding that the author follows WP:COI guidelines and works with other editors to add material to personal page. Bakazaka ( talk) 21:19, 16 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The author is a public/historic figure in science with an ongoing publication record. The book is a new addition to this publication record and involves the history of science pertaining to discoveries made with the Hubble Space Telescope. The book is being reviewed and independent references/response will be added. Financial COI's have been minimized. Pkalas ( talk) 21:01, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Pkalas: Your first-hand knowledge of the financial COI suggests a direct connection. Are you the book's author? Bakazaka ( talk) 21:21, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
In that case you need to follow Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest policy on disclosure and editing. That doesn't mean you can't edit, just that you must disclose your connections, for example on the talk pages of articles about you or your work that you edit, and that you should follow a few extra steps when creating or editing articles about yourself. I have gone ahead and placed a connected contributor notice on the talk page for this article. Bakazaka ( talk) 21:41, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Bakazaka: Thank you for the explanation. Next time I edit I will write that I am a connected contributor. Pkalas ( talk) 22:16, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Is more information needed? I satisfy WP:PROFTEST and notability. The book concerns the history of how I acquired the Hubble Space Telescope image of the planetary system around Fomalhaut -- this image appeared on the front cover of the New York Times (2008) and is displayed at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Therefore my work is notable (not fringe) because it is highly visible publicly (as opposed to a narrow, specialized academic topic) and impactful in the history of discovering planets outside the solar system. An independent and unsolicited reviewer posted on 18-minute book review on YouTube. Someone could add this review to the "Reception" portion of the page. A copy of the book has also been requested (and provided) to a reviewer in a journal that publishes book reviews which would also go to the "Reception" portion of the page (once the review is published). The book description is objective and the tone is neutral. Pkalas ( talk) 18:47, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Articles for Deletion discussions usually take a week or more, giving other editors time to chime in. Repeated voting by the same user will be taken into account by the editor who closes the discussion. Since the article is about a book and not a person, Wikipedia:Notability (books) is a relevant guideline. Note the threshold standards as well as the notability guidelines. For example, if the book has not been catalogued by a national library, it might be excluded simply on those grounds. Other policies and guidelines may apply as well. Bakazaka ( talk) 19:12, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Yes, more is needed (but almost certainly doesn't exist). The thesis of the book seems to be that your dreams predict the future, which is clearly a WP:FRINGE topic. A single (unlinked) Youtube review is certainly not enough to meet WP:NBOOK. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 20:19, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Pkalas, you can comment several times on an AfD discussion, however you can only post "keep" once. Also, I do need to note that notability is not inherited, which essentially means that in order for the book to have its own page it will have to have enough sourcing to establish how it meets WP:NBOOK and is independently notable of yourself. As far as reviews go, Wikipedia is pretty picky. Reviews published in self-published sources (SPS) like YouTube will almost always be seen as non-reliable sources on Wikipedia unless the SPS (in this case the YouTube channel hosting the review) is cited frequently enough in independent, reliable sources to be seen as a reliable source itself. It's incredibly rare for a SPS to gain this type of recognition, to be honest, which is why I never really bother using them in articles I'm trying to create or improve. The journal could be seen as reliable depending on its editorial oversight and status. Peer-reviewed journals are almost always seen as reliable sources on here. However that would only be one source at this point in time and you'd need more than this to really establish notability. Sometimes, if the sources make a claim of overwhelming notability such as the book winning a major award, 1-2 sources are enough but in the vast majority of cases book articles will need at least 3-4 to really pass NBOOK. The catch of the 1-2 sources part of NBOOK is that if there is that major of a claim to notability for the book, there will almost certainly be far more coverage out there (even if not on the Internet) to establish notability, making the 1-2 source point moot.
Since one was used in the article, e-commerce sites like Amazon are not seen as reliable sources because their primary goal is to sell you something. Its use can also make the page seem promotional -even if this is unintended by yourself - and can come across as Wikipedia endorsing the site or product. If you're just looking to back up publisher data, I'd recommend WorldCat. In any case, at this point I'd suggest that this be merged and summarized on your article given the lack of sourcing. ReaderofthePack (。◕‿◕。) 23:43, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Also, if the book is primarily about your experiences and discovery, then covering this in your article would make sense since then it could be used to expand the article to contain more information about yourself. Since there's a conflict of interest here, I'd recommend that you work with another editor on this since it goes beyond the addition of non-controversial info (ie, stuff that would be seen as relatively minor to adding whole paragraphs of content.)

  • MoveThis book should really be listed on the author page and not have its own separate entry. As it stands it does not have enough information to live up to WP:NB.

  • Thanks for the additional information. I was using my colleague’s book Physics_for_Future_Presidents as a template. It seemed to me that this apppeared on Wikipedia in 2014 because it represented a portion of his scholarly work, not because it was notable. Note that it was published in 2008 — the book and the book reviews were six years out of date by 2014. In the last 10 years there are no other references to the book, which is not consistent with notability. Nevertheless, it represents his writing and thinking. In my case, it seems I created a book page too early instead of too late.

I can't see how this business meets our notability guidelines for companies, nor where we might find enough solid and non-trivial in-depth coverage of it to allow us to write anything much more than the present pathetic stub (for which I take some responsibility). The page was created as an advertisement by an obvious paid editor in violation of our Terms of Use, and Wikipedia does not tolerate advertising of any kind. There is also, incidentally, a troubled history of interference from other connected parties, the most recent of which has attempted to blank the page; I don't think we need to let that deter us from deleting it if there is consensus to do so.

Delete - the main claim to notability seems to be the picture of Trump, already well covered at the artist's page. Additionally, I tend to feel any page that is only edited by COI accounts and good-faith editors doing damage control on those COI accounts should be deleted. This isn't policy, but spam made me a deletionist. Pinkbeast ( talk) 17:43, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Tentatively Obviously keep. Justlettersandnumbers—you are once again gutting an article and then nominating it for deletion. You seem to have decided that sources documenting art exhibitions at art galleries do not have the potential to contribute to the notability of art galleries. But this reasoning is flawed. Reliable sources relating to an art exhibition at an art gallery certainly can contribute to the notability of an art gallery. We do not have notability guidelines specifically tailored to contemporary art galleries. You are repeatedly referring to WP:NCORP in these instances. In doing so you are completely disregarding the nature of contemporary art galleries. You've dropped the language of "a car dealer does not become notable because he sells well-known brands of car, a butcher's shop does not become notable because it sells a famous kind of meat, a second-hand charity shop does not become notable because it sells clothes made by famous companies, a plumber does not become notable because he works on a famous building" [8] (variations of which you have used in many previous instances) but in essence you are still disregarding the difference between other sorts of businesses and contemporary art galleries. One of the most important differences is that the sources that would support the notability of art galleries are found in the reviews by reliable sources of the exhibitions held at the art gallery. You are removing those sources and then nominating the gallery for deletion. And this does not necessarily involve the policy of WP:INHERIT. The reviews have the potential to confer notability directly on the art gallery. You are incorrectly understanding these reviews as only conferring notability on artists and on artworks. The gallery plays a major role in mounting these exhibitions, not to mention in choosing which artists to select and which artworks to show. I am not arguing pointedly that this article should not be deleted. But you've got to take a rational approach to evaluating the suitability of art galleries. The comparisons to other businesses that you are are repeatedly making are inappropriate. In your edit summary here you are comparing an art gallery to a bookstore. Bookstores are virtually dictated to by forces well beyond their control. But gallerists often make highly independent decisions about what "product" to proffer to the customer. Bus stop ( talk) 15:10, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
It is difficult to see how any art gallery could fail to be notable under this rationale. They all have exhibitions, and doubtless they can all get Phil Space to mention their exhibitions on page 94. Pinkbeast ( talk) 18:42, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Not this again. Bus stop should really give up on this line of reasoning. they have never found consensus for it, and in fact never bothered to show how it could work in practice when I proposed to them, as an example, an article entirely based on exhibition reviews of very notable artists with minimal mention of the gallery in Draft:Galerie Greta Meert. This cannot work, and it has no chance of finding consensus. It is high time to drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass. -- Vexations ( talk) 22:16, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Hi Omgwtfbbqsomethingrandom—what would constitute "in-depth coverage about gallery itself"? Would that be type of lighting? How many square feet the gallery has? What would it be? Bus stop ( talk) 21:58, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Per WP:NCORP: Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. Vexations ( talk) 23:00, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
In many instances there are reviews of art gallery exhibitions published by reliable sources. Would reviews of art exhibitions held by the art gallery constitute "evaluation of the product" per WP:NCORP? Bus stop ( talk) 02:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply
If you have such a source, show it so we can evaluate it. If you don't have such a source then you're being disruptive. Vexations ( talk) 11:40, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Reviews of exhibitions have been removed in this edit prior to the nomination of this article for deletion. While I have not scrutinized each of the removed references, I see at a glance that some contain citations. The reasoning expressed in the edit summary also shows a non-recognition of an aspect of the policy of WP:NCORP, which says that "evaluation of the product" is a factor to be considered. How can we blithely remove references to "evaluation of the product" and then nominate an article for deletion? The edit summary says "exhibitions are the routine business of galleries, no need to list them here; would we list every book-signing at Hatchards? (or indeed, every book?". So what? The sources that are being removed are potentially evaluating the product, are they not? I picked a source at random, and this is the only source I've looked at. A photographer named David Yarrow is mentioned. I read in the removed source:

"Also on show with Maddox Gallery in Miami will be the engrossing photography of David Yarrow, the world’s leading wildlife photographer. David Yarrow has built a world-class reputation for producing photographs of the planet’s most remote landscapes, cultures and endangered animals. His methods for enticing dangerous animals near enough to his lens for the best photograph include researching which animal is most attracted to which scent and then coating his camera in it as he lays in wait."

Considerably more is said in that source about Maddox Gallery and the artist and the artwork. I would contend that this constitutes "evaluation of the product". The bottom line, at the very least, is that you can't just remove a list of reviews of exhibitions that have been held at the gallery over the years, and then nominate an article for deletion. That is unfair to the article. Apparently I'm just wasting my breath because I've raised this issue several times in the past.
I would contend that WP:NCORP supports the inclusion of material that evaluates the product, and the inclusion of such material tends to contribute to the notability of an art gallery. I will concede that the burying of material in citations is a less-than-adequate means of informing the reader about the gallery. To me, that points to the need to include excerpts from these citations—we need to discuss in the article the reliably-sourced descriptions and evaluations of the artwork the gallery has shown. In general I favor a common sense approach to our treatment of art galleries, especially those covering contemporary art. We are unfairly deleting articles on what in many instances are vital cultural institutions. Before new art reaches museums it passes through art galleries. These scrappy enterprises warrant special consideration and yet our notability guidelines do not specifically address them. Bus stop ( talk) 14:26, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Characterizing the work of artists who exhibit there as "products" of a gallery is tenuous. Do bookstores, theatres, and cinemas inherit notability from media coverage of the things they present for viewing/sale?
I don't support the notion that Wikipedia should give "special consideration" to promote "scrappy enterprises" which its editors deem "vital". You know, I happen to regard small independent booksellers and comics shops, family-run taquerías and pizza parlors, and cheap neighborhood pubs and queer bars as scrappy enterprises of great value to society, and the lifeblood of communities and their economies. But I don't think that makes it Wikipedia's responsibility to promote them.

  • "Characterizing the work of artists who exhibit there as 'products' of a gallery is tenuous." Please explain to me why works of art are not the "products" sold at art galleries.
  • "Do bookstores, theatres, and cinemas inherit notability from media coverage of the things they present for viewing/sale? We read in WP:NCORP at WP:CORPDEPTH that "significant coverage" can be demonstrated by "discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product". Art galleries sell art as their product. Reliably sourced reviews of art displayed for sale in an art gallery constitute "significant coverage" because they include "discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product".

  • If I said that as scrappy enterprises art galleries should receive special consideration in Wikipedia then I stand corrected. I might have misspoken, as that is not the position I hold.
  • As to the question of whether or not artworks sold in galleries are "products" of art galleries—it is my position that in a sense they are. My reasoning here you may not entirely agree with, but the gallerist chooses what art to show. Ninety-nine artists approached the gallerist with works ranging from the representational to abstract to the conceptual to the surrealistic and of those ninety-nine artists the gallerist chose to represent only one of those artists. You may disagree but to me it is obvious that the gallerist chose which "product" to put on display and to place for sale within their gallery and therefore in a sense that artwork is the "product" of the art gallery, obviously shared with the artist. It is not unthinkable that a level of collaboration is attained between an attentive gallerist and an artist. In a sense I reject the absolutist understanding of an artist as an auteur who plots his own path without consideration of the feedback he might receive from others. In short, gallerists sometimes nurture artists and provide guidance. Bus stop ( talk) 16:29, 15 September 2018 (UTC) reply

I think you'll find upon evaluating them that there were good reasons many of them were removed. -- Vexations ( talk) 21:20, 15 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Vexations—there is a big difference between an article that needs to be improved and an article that should be deleted. I would contend that we've seen articles on entirely notable galleries of contemporary art, deleted in these processes. Who is going to recreate those article? Notability is satisfied because in keeping with WP:NCORP we have extensive "discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product". If you disagree with that, then that is what we should be discussing. Yes, I picked a random source. It was this source. Do you disagree that that source contains discussion, analysis, and evaluation of the product? Let's look at another source. How about this one. The Guardian is a source of impeccable quality. The subtitle is "Illma Gore’s painting, on display at Maddox Gallery in London now with a £1m pricetag, depicts the Republican presidential candidate with a small penis". That is a discussion of the product on display (and for sale) at the Maddox Gallery. Also contained in that citation: "Cordelia de Freitas, Maddox gallery director, said: 'It only really got out of hand when Donald Trump referenced it in a debate, which sums up Trump and his ego. From there, everyone wanted to see this image.'" There are several more Guardian citations in the list that you posted above. Thanks for compiling them all in one place. In my opinion the first order of business is rescuing this article from deletion. Bus stop ( talk) 15:03, 16 September 2018 (UTC) reply
User:Bus stop I regret that based on your not actually reading the sources prior to forming an opinion on the notability of the subject, I cannot take your contributions to this AfD seriously. You're just trying to make the same flawed argument that you've been making elsewhere that exhibition reviews can establish the notability of art galleries. It doesn't. You're misreading "Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization." to give you license to include https://www.artrabbit.com/events/autumn-contemporary as a source for Autumn Contemporary - Group exhibition. That is absurd. It's a press release. Vexations ( talk) 15:59, 16 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Bus stop, just to point out that you're incorrectly interpreting the use and context of the word "product" as it is used in WP:NCORP. The use of the word "product" applies when the topic of an article in question refers to a product and not an organization/company. Read the first sentence of WP:NCORP. Since the topic in this instance is the art gallery, then we need references that discuss the gallery. References that discuss the product fail the criteria for establishing notability (as per WP:NOTINHERIT). HighKing ++ 14:25, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

There are many issues here.

The first is that the main subject of the article in its current state, is that of a very minor local semi-pro football team. Its WP:GNG-worthy coverage appears non-existent and only gets a few brief mentions in local papers, and even then, the subject of those mentions are in WP:ROUTINE game summaries for the Racine Raiders. This article definitely reads very WP:FANCRUFTy.

Second, it appears this article was originally created for a team in the National Soccer League (Chicago) before it was taken over by various IPs earlier this year to create the page for the semipro team. This is obviously an inappropriate action and possibly should be split out and this page reverted to its original intent.

However, the original article was created using only two references, both being stats pages, which is typically insubstantial to meet WP:GNG. Not sure if the NSL has any "automatic" presumed notability for WP:FOOTYN. Due to its age, there is a possibility of printed media coverage that I am not finding, which if that is the case, then it should at least have its own page as it is completely unrelated to the semipro American football team. Yosemiter ( talk) 17:07, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Withdrawn by nominator, the Footy project believes the soccer club is notable for the US Open Cup and there are at least some printed refs and books about that at least mention or discuss the Falcons. I would like to see better references used than the stats pages currently on the page. However, I have reverted the article to the point prior to the article overwrite of the semipro American football team because it seems fairly clear that all involved feel that subject does not meet WP:GNG. In a related subject, the same editors that overwrote this article created Asif Ali (American football), which I have nominated for deletion here for having both insubstantial independent sources for GNG and clearly false claims.

  • Incubate this is a prime example of an article that is so bad it should be deleted... not that it wouldn't be served well with two separate articles (maybe yes, maybe no) but until that is determined and cleaned up, I don't think we can accurately assess what we are looking at.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 18:45, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, kind of. There are two articles here where there should only be one, and Yosemiter has done a good job of describing the issue. The gridiron team is clearly non-notable, despite the sources all of them are primary, and some of their links ( Asif Ali) probably could be AfD'd as well. The football team appears absolutely notable for winning the U.S. Open Cup in 1953. I don't have a subscription to the site and can't verify the quality of the article, but I can say they were definitely mentioned in media at the time: [9] I would recommend restoring the article to the revision on November 2017, which is just about the football team. SportingFlyer talk 23:24, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - please note that the original article I created was about a defunct, notable soccer team (which won the US soccer national cup!) - it has since been hijacked by an IP about a gridiron team. No comment on their notability. If both are notable, the article needs to be split. If the American Football team is not notable then strip it back down to the soccer team. Giant Snowman 11:36, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Since I was unfamiliar with FOOTYN standards (which is why I made sure to alert the original creator), I am willing to withdraw this nomination based on reverting back to the article about the football team. I have since found they are mentioned in some books, but I am not sure on the significant coverage there to meet GNG. I am not positive I agree that winning the US Open Cup in 1953 would have been well covered then as mostly amateur or semipro teams competed for it at that time (such as the NSL Falcons themselves). That might be a discussion for another day though. But right now, we seem to agree that the nomination for the American football team is a theoretical delete/revert additions. Yosemiter ( talk) 12:42, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • I've found a couple period sources and want to flesh out the soccer article but am loathe to do it with the way the article stands at the moment. You're right in the sense the cup final didn't have a great level of coverage but it was discussed in newspapers in the areas where soccer was popular at the time (St. Louis, Chicago, Brooklyn) and Sports Illustrated did run the scores of the semifinals and finals. SportingFlyer talk 04:22, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Thank you for restoring the article. I've struggled a bit because I don't have full access to the newspapers and the OCRs are typically terrible, but have improved the article/sources. I'm particularly frustrated since I haven't been able to find anything using internet searches in 1950s Chicago-area newspapers - the Chicago Public Library has online newspaper access, but I'm not local to Chicago and can't review it, but I have a feeling there's more information out there.

This content was split off from the Weinstein effect article after concerns (permalink here) that the lists there consisted of WP:OR and, if not restricting the lists only to cases cited by reliable sources as being the result of the Weinstein effect, could go on forever if including anyone who has been accused of sexual assault since the Weinstein effect and Me Too movement have taken a hold of society. Even if restricting the lists in such a way, it was noted that the Weinstein effect article is not a list article and that the lists could continue to expand (albeit at a slower rate). A solution was to cut the lists, not to create a WP:Content fork of the material. This content fork has the potential to be worse than it was in its original format since the title for it is broad and can easily allow for the inclusion of anyone who has been accused of sexual assault since the rise of the Me Too movement. It will be nothing but an indiscriminate list of accused people, with many entries not even tied to the Weinstein effect and/or Me Too movement. In fact, a number of the entries on this list are like that now. It is an unmanageable WP:BLP issue magnet. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 16:40, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Inadequately sourced article about a person notable only as a county councillor. As always, people at the county level of government are not handed an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL #2 just because they exist -- to qualify for a Wikipedia article, a county supervisor needs to show a volume and depth and range of reliable source coverage that suggests she's got a credible claim to being substantially more notable than most other county councillors. But this doesn't suggest that at all: it cites just six local media hits. of which three just include her giving soundbite in an article about something else rather than being about her for the purposes of helping to get her over WP:GNG, and three are from a community hyperlocal webmedia startup rather than a notability-supporting major media outlet. Every county councillor in North America could always show a handful of local coverage in the local media, so this is not enough coverage to make her a special notability case among an otherwise not inherently notable class of topic.

  • Keep. I wp:BOLDly moved the article to Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir. It is usually not good to make moves of an article under AFD discussion, but this seemed silly to me... there is sentiment towards acknowledging that the properly named reservoir exists and is notable, while if it is mis-named the topic is asserted to be non-notable. Whatever. Please discuss the notability of Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir. It seems to be a geographical feature, therefore it is notable. -- Doncram ( talk) 06:48, 6 September 2018 (UTC) reply

*Rename to Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir (as Doncram boldly did) and then Keep the renamed article. It is not called Burrs Mill Lake, no such lake exists. However the Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir actually does exist. But the Burrs Mill Brook article claims that they are separate lakes. This appears to be factually incorrect, Burrs Mill Lake does not exist and the Burrs Mill Brook article is mistaken. It appears to be an honest mistake, from someone who does not know the correct name is Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir. I support Doncram’s move to change it to the correct name. According to WP:NGEO, named lakes and reservoirs are notable if sources can be found to document them, which is true in the case of Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir, Alansohn found Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir listed in GNIS for instance and Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir is also on Google Maps. Here is an actual BOOK that mentions Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir: The National Gazetteer of the United States of America: New Jersey 1983, by the U.S. Geological Survey and United States Board on Geographic Names, page N-126. Piotr and Alansohn’s deletes vote do not (at this time) reflect the WP:BOLD move that Doncram below has made, which fixed the naming issue but complicated this AfD discussion a bit. Both of those votes are on Burrs Mill Lake, the old name, rather than Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir, which Doncram moved it to. Yetisyny ( talk) 23:05, 7 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Yetisyny, the rename is a step forward, but the article that remains for the reservoir has no sources and no indication for why it should have an article.

Alansohn ( talk) 16:39, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Even properly named as Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir, I see no indication it is notable. I disagree with the above synopsis of WP:NGEO. NGEO says features CAN be notable IF "enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article..." "beyond statistics and coordinates." I haven't found anything beyond routine directory type listings. The best is this one which only adds that it is 3.5 miles from somewhere else and doesn't even know what species of fish can be caught there. Just not enough to support an article. MB 00:09, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per MB and Alansohn. It seems I did not understand WP:NGEO correctly, apparently more verifiable content besides just basic statistics and coordinates is needed as MB explained above. Due to my mistake I crossed out the obviously mistaken portions of my earlier Keep vote, please disregard the portions I crossed out. Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir does indeed exist while Burrs Mill Lake does not, and Doncram did the right thing by renaming it to the right name, but existing is not enough to make it notable. At least it got renamed to the correct name so we could debate whether or not Burrs Mill Brook Reservoir is notable or not. It seems it is not in fact notable. I looked into WP:NGEO again, reading the text carefully, as well as taking what MB said about its meaning into account, and it became immediately apparent to me that MB was right and I had been wrong. Thus I have crossed out my earlier vote and am in total agreement with MB. I thank MB for educating me on this matter with such a good explanation of what that policy means and how it applies in this case. Yetisyny ( talk) 04:12, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Showing just enough sourcing to nominally verify that he exists is not enough -- but with just one local news hit and his own primary source profile on the county board's own self-published website, this is not sourced well enough.

  • Keep There is no requirement that politicians have to be "more notable than most other" politicians at the same level, only that they have received in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources. That said, Cox is very much more notable than most County Supervisors, as a WP:BEFORE check would have discovered. He is the incumbent president of the National Association of Counties; a former "immensely popular" Mayor of Chula Vista (a city of a quarter-million people); a six-term incumbent; and apparently a major force in the politics of the fifth-most populous county in the USA. Overall, he is very much a major local political figure...who has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists (per WP:NPOL), and this has been the case for decades. Rather than listing sources here, I invite editors to look at my expansion of the article. FourViolas ( talk) 21:39, 15 September 2018 (UTC) reply
That's not a policy-based deletion rationale either: NPOL and GNG say nothing about sources' scope, only their reliability (A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists), and WP:AUD only applies to organizations. The local newspapers mainly used are clearly RS for local politics: the San Diego Union Tribune is over 150 years old and has four Pulitzers and a circulation of several hundred thousand, and the Times of San Diego is a younger source but one that has also won a number of journalism awards.
That said, the LA Times has written about Cox many times about aspects other than the COI allegation: they've covered Cox giving speeches; being endorsed; fighting environmental regulations to get the Chula Vista Bayfront project approved [10] [11] [12] and to build a Navy housing project; asking for surplus Port money; and more recent activity [13] [14]. He's also been mentioned in national [15] [16] and local non-California media [17] [18]. FourViolas ( talk) 13:22, 16 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Although he is a politician and although Wikipedia has rather strict rules with regard to which politicians warrant coverage, it looks to me like the coverage of Cox is above the merely WP:ROUTINE (though I am noticing that WP:ROUTINE is an WP:EVENTS guideline, not a WP:BLP one). The election coverage gives us a basis for including the various personal details, but any coverage above this, like his becoming president of the National Association of Counties, seems to push him over the hump into notability.

Wait, "none of them are about him"?? I must be missing something. I had the sense that at least most of them were "about" him, but that only some of these would count towards a notability argument.

What's left is basically nothing. This AFD is appropriate, as the last AfD had no logical keep votes. It was all SOURCESMUSTEXIST and ILIKEIT, as someone pointed out there. The first keep vote it had said "well they have 42 staff, they must be notable." Thus the last Afd made no policy-driven keep arguments. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 01:06, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply

I said "no prejudice against renomination", so I'm ambivalent about this. I have no strong opinions on whether the article stays or goes. That said, going immediately to a second AfD is mildly disruptive - have all the participants in the first AfD being pinged? If not, why not? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:34, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Ritchie333, I think your statement was really ambiguous.A closing administrator cannot have a prejudice against a renomination, shall it occur after a considerable period of time and going by a literary reading, it is sort of unnecessary.To my eyes, it thus resembled WP:NPASR.Mildly disruptive, probably.But, given the quality of the debate from the other camp, I don't bother any.

  • Strong Keep - The subject is the central character [1] in the longest running sitcom (over 10 years) of the indian television history and many mainstream sources have pages dedicated to him [19] , [20], [21] , [22], [23]... Also "Jethalal" has received widespread popularity over the years, has definitely become a household name and is regularly appearing on every show of this very popular sitcom since past 10 years [2]. -- Adamstraw99 ( talk) 09:04, 28 August 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Please look at the aticle. Subject is treated as a real person in the article and there is lack of sources in the article because there are not many references discussing about the character in real world sense. We already cover this information in main sitcom aricle as well as in characters article. Why we need a separate article on a single character if we already have an article on characters of the sitcom? Please see MOS:TVCAST. Most references you listed above are in-universe information or provide little information about Jethalal character. Regards,- Nizil ( talk)

Well many mainstream media already covered Jethalal Gada. That's why I think the article should not be deleted. And one think I want to add that we created a separate article on tnkoc cast although we covered the cast in this article. So where is the problem to keep this article.

I think there is not enough well referenced real-world information to have separated article for Jethalal Gada and what is covered is "in-universe". All in-universe information on him is also covered in characters article. So in my opinion, there is no need for separate article even if he is daily appearing TV character.- Nizil ( talk) 04:37, 31 August 2018 (UTC) reply
Apart from hundreds of popular videos, Jethalal and his popularity is very much covered in numerous sources [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29].. and i can post many more coverage but info in my trail comments and this must convince you unless there is some competitive agenda IMHO, Thanks -- Adamstraw99 ( talk) 09:30, 31 August 2018 (UTC) reply
Adamstraw99, Jethalal is a popular character but there is already an article on characters which covers information on him. The references you posted above has no detailed information on his characters apart from telling that it is popular and successful. This thing is already covered in the character article and thus no separate article is needed IMO. If we have references on role, development, Characterization, themes, critical reception of Jethalal; I would agree to have separate article from the characters article but I could not find any details. So the subject is better served by the character article alone. - Nizil ( talk) 12:35, 31 August 2018 (UTC) reply

Article about an annual conference, which makes no particularly strong claim of notability beyond the fact that it exists. This is "referenced" solely to a linkfarm of external links to its own self-published content about itself rather than any evidence of reliable source coverage to get it over WP:ORGDEPTH or WP:EVENT.

We don't keep unreferenced articles just because somebody asserts that the topic is "major" and "important" — what would actually need to be shown to get this kept is that reliable source coverage actually exists for it to be cleaned up with. Media coverage about this is who has to tell us that it's "major" and "important" enough to have an encyclopedia article — an unreferenced assertion of importance is not enough all by itself, because anybody could simply say that about anything if they didn't actually have to show the sources to prove it.

Articles from this style's federation and books by people who teach the art do not constitute significant, independent coverage in reliable sources. Can you point to coverage that actually satisfies WP:GNG? Papaursa ( talk) 17:21, 10 September 2018 (UTC) reply
I only see one official book. I don't how you define independent, but only experts can write books on their expert subject, do you object to books written by scientists (or other academics) on the subject they specialised in or taught? If you did, you find that a large chunk of sources would need to be removed from Wikipedia as they are written by experts, and you end up with half-informed rubbish written by non-experts. Did you check the sources in Japanese as well? Hzh ( talk) 22:43, 10 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Since I don't read Japanese there would be little point in me looking at Japanese sources. However, I would point you to WP:GNG where it says ' "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it.' I would say that eliminates teachers of Hakkō-ryū. Scientists would not be considered independent of the school they teach at. Papaursa ( talk) 23:00, 10 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Per WP:NONENG, non-English sources are permissible, whether you can read them or not is not relevant unless you have reason to dispute the sources. There are plenty of sources in the Japanese wiki, and you cannot dismiss the sources simply for not being able to read them. You'd also find that a lot of articles in fact require sources written by experts on their subject, e.g. in WP:MEDRS, reviews are preferred, and they can only be written by experts who understand their subjects well, which by your interpretation would not be permitted, therefore your understanding of "independent" is not what it is intended to mean. In any case, how did you know that the authors are teachers rather than people who knows their subject very well? Hzh ( talk) 23:35, 10 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Did you read what I actually wrote? I didn't say non-English sources were unacceptable, I said I can't read them so why would I look at them. Feel free to use them as long as you can say in English why the source shows notability. Please note I talked about scientists and their school (not their field), which is correct analogy when talking about martial arts instructors. When the author is listed as a shihan, it's not rocket science to figure he's a martial arts teacher. It's also worth mentioning that just because a subject is notable in another language's wiki does not mean it's automatically notable in the English WP. Papaursa ( talk) 23:44, 10 September 2018 (UTC) reply
It is sourced, that is the point, especially when the nom noted that there is also the Aikido Journal in the English wiki. I only gave examples of books specifically on the subject, but there are in fact other English sources, e.g. Black Belt magazine - [35] [36] [37], and [38] (all these from just a minute or two of Googling) It is clear from the abundance of sources that WP:BEFORE had not been performed.

  • Very weak Keep The Black Belt magazine articles are OK, but only count as 1 source. The Aikiko Journal sources are a one paragraph overview of the art and an interview. The mention in the book on "The Art of Arrests" says this art's use by law enforcement is "almost non-existent". Altogether, these sources are not nothing but they also don't make this a slam-dunk case for notability. While I think Hzh has overstated the coverage of this style, I don't believe it's an obvious delete candidate either.

I put up the request on 27 August 2018 because it does not comply with encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia and not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. Other than that, in the original contents (before I clean it up) filled with references "on Text based" which cant be verified. When I cleaned it up, I intended to re-do the article but I realised then that the article has no valid references and couldn't find sources.

  • Keep - as Atlantic306 stated as per text refs. There are a lot of refs that wouldn't be suitable, but sufficient that would be (reviews etc) for notability to met. Additionally, while there is often a concern that text refs can be used to hide a lack of notability, this definitely doesn't read or appear as such, even discounting any AGF Nosebagbear ( talk) 12:57, 3 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Hi Nosebagbear, I was not referring to text reference only but overall contents and "link" references given - in which most are not accessible. Look at Germany embassy links and many more. I have searched on the net, some of the events mentioned cannot be found. Read my reply to Atlantic306. Secondly, the group is not noted enough but the contents are overrated. Some of them are based on "the author's opinion". Addition: The choir group has no website but a Facebook only. In their Facebook, they pointed Wikipedia as their website. It looks like it is used for marketing purposes -- Jay ( talk) 14:04, 3 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Much of the sourcing comes from programs and interviews. In my opinion this very closely resembles original research. Further, the writing style is subjective, promotional, and over-detailed considering the claimed notability of the subject matter. I agree that wikipedia is being used here as a supplement for a website for the group, for advertising purposes, and that notability is not verifiably supported.

  • Comment I'm still thinking about this, but am currently inclined towards deletion. The references and the article itself are heavily "padded" with material that has nothing whatsoever to do with the choir. This section is a prime example. The sole reference provided there [39] does not even mention this choir let alone support the assertion "Cantus Musicus has been accompanied by various pipe organists playing the Riddell-Eminent pipe organ in St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Kuala Lumpur, on a number of occasions." There are multiple examples of these shenanigans in the references especially in the lead paragraph which asserts that various people have praised the choir. That and the obvious COI of the single-purpose accounts who are the principal editors of this article leads me to highly mistrust the putative contents of the offline sources. Basically, this is a small amateur choir that sings occasionally in church services and at minor events for charities, local organizations, and embassies. There is no evidence whatsoever that it passes any of the criteria at WP:MUSICBIO. Nor, is there much indication that it passes WP:GNG. Given that it has been in existence for 15 years and is still performing, there should be much more independent coverage available in the mainstream Malaysian press. All I have been able to find are two reviews in the "Community" section of The Star ( 2006 2017) and this one in the now online-only Malay Mail. References consisting of concert programs and announcements do not attest to notability. If this article is kept, it will need to be drastically pruned solely to what can be verified and will need a major copy edit for neutral point of view and encyclopedic content and tone.

  • Delete per VdT, fails our notability requirements for organisations. Its own concert programmes and the like cannot be considered independent reliable sources. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 20:54, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Indeed! Some of the "references" are not even that. In the current version, there are 6 citations that merely repeat the name of the event (footnotes 2, 11, 14, 15, 25, 30). There are many others which fail to mention the choir at all, but simply link to biographies of people they have allegedly collaborated with or places where they have allegedly performed (footnotes 6, 7, 8, 9. 10, 11, 13, 40, 43, 45). Two more (those supporting alleged praise of the choir by various musicians) refer vaguely to an "interview" with the artist but give no indication that these interviews were ever published (footnotes 1, 5). This is what I meant above by the article being heavily (and misleadingly) "padded". Then we have footnote 49, a brief article in a local UK paper about an unfortunate woman who threw herself under a train. It mentions at the end in one sentence that she had been a former member of this choir when she was living in Malaysia. Voceditenore ( talk) 08:13, 18 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • "Cantus musicus" seems to be the latin for "a musical air" [40] or "harmonious singing" [41]. It appears in hundreds of sources in GBooks, though many cannot refer to this choir because they were published long before 2003. Even if this choir was not notable (no comment on that yet), we might well want this page name for its original meaning. James500 ( talk) 05:09, 18 September 2018 (UTC) reply
I agree. Actually, "cantus musicus" is a later term for "cantus figuratus" and means the same thing [42]. It is used in contrast to " cantus planus". If this article is kept, it should be disambiguated as Cantus Musicus (ensemble). Incidentally, there's a Swiss early music ensemble called "Cantus Figuratus".

Violence against women in Ukraine

Violence against women in Ukraine (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The problem is definitely exaggerated. One third of all women in the world suffer violence against them. In WHO report for a selection of European countries (including Ukraine) this percentage makes up 25% (1/4 only). Per this Ukrainian study it's even lower - 22% of women aged 15-49 experience some type of physical violence or sexual violence. See also this article on gender equality in Ukraine. Since 2017 domestic violence is criminalized. So generally, the topic of this article is made out of thin air Piramidion 09:04, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. First of all, this article talks about violence against women in Ukraine, which exists. Saying that it's not a big problem is not an argument, as that violence exists nonetheless. Second of all, even if it is "just" 25%, that is still a huge lot – this is obviously an opinion, just like yours. Perhaps the article itself needs some improvement, but that does not mean it should be deleted, because it discusses an issue that exists, regardless of its size. Moreover it does look like certain UN agencies have raised this issue and talked about this topic, which in my opinion proves that this topic deserves its own article. BeŻet ( talk) 09:16, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    This would mean that there should be an article with this exact name scheme for every other country, including Poland. Do you want me to create one? Because as I said - the problem is exaggerated. Because what about violence against men? Because if this kind of an article should exist, it should be centered on domestic violence, not just violence against women. Or another article named "Violence against men in Ukraine" should be created as well, because why not? Such a thing does exist as well. Otherwise this is not an encyclopedic approach. -- Piramidion 09:37, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    Feel free to create articles for other countries. Is violence against men in Ukraine at similar levels to that of women? If so, create one too, but I'm pretty sure that, like in other countries, violence against women is a lot bigger problem than violence against men. BeŻet ( talk) 10:00, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    Well, you're being inconsistent here: "Saying that it's not a big problem is not an argument, as that violence exists nonetheless." - these are your words.-- Piramidion 10:30, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    I am not being inconsistent. Violence against men exists in Ukraine, and everywhere else. What I'm saying is that if we talk about violence against women in Ukraine, that does not mean we automatically have to create articles for every single country and also about violence against men. BeŻet ( talk) 10:46, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    I'm not talking about "having to create", I talk about that we "should be able to create", that is, those articles shouldn't get deleted per some kind of notability guidelines, because "More than 40% of domestic violence victims are male", or "The 1975 National Family Violence Survey (Behind Closed Doors: Violence in the American Family, Straus et al.) found men and women equally abusive", or "A total of 215,273 homicides were studied, 77% of which involved male victims and 23% female victims", or the WHO report Injury and violence kill more men than women (and that makes up the inconsistency). If this percentage of women suffering violence in Ukraine is enough for an article, then it should be enough for other countries as well. Am I correct? Or do I misunderstand something? If the final decision of this discussion would be "keep", it should mean that it can be used as a precedent for creating other similar articles.-- Piramidion 12:43, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    Your main argument was that the problem is exaggerated. Your sources include statistics regarding United Kingdom, not Ukraine. Regardless, in this particular case, the topic of violence against women in Ukraine has been raised on multiple occasions on multiple levels, including national and international. Women are still on average twice as likely to be be victims of domestic abuse around the world. We can create additional articles about violence against men in a specific country if there are strong reasons for that, e.g. the problem is widely discussed and has an impact. Not to cater for some men's fragile egos. BeŻet ( talk) 13:26, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    Ok, I think I got your point. If the topic is discussed widely and has drawn some public attention (violence against women did, violence against men did not), then it deserves an article in Wikipedia. If not - it doesn't. Am I correct? And yes, the sources were random, because I did not talk about Ukraine only. If we talk about Ukraine, 30% of calls about domestic violence had been made by men but that doesn't really matter for Wikipedia, if I got you right.-- Piramidion 13:49, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    Well according to your own stats, women are over twice as likely to call the hotline, which makes it more notable. This situation is not symmetrical, therefore it isn't equally important to create an article regarding violence against men in Ukraine. BeŻet ( talk) 13:56, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply

No, this is encyclopedia, and I don't really care about what you perceive as "shameful" here. Or is there any kind of censorship that prevents from providing these numbers?

  • Keep – I consider the United Nations to be a reliable source, and a UN report directly states that such detention centers exist as per The Times article (underline emphasis mine):

The UN report documents hundreds of cases of illegal detention, torture and ill-treatment of detainees — both by pro-Russian armed groups and by government agencies. It draws attention to prisoner abuse and murders by pro-Russian rebel groups, but also exposes the scale and brutality of Ukraine’s government-backed torture programme for the first time, as well as the existence of five secret government detention centres.

Add: there's a lot of going-on below about online questions in the vein of "what's the difference between..." - but the fact is that I can unearth these for any two superficially similar animals or types of animals you care to mention - mice and shrews, whales and manatees, birds and bats, arachnids and crustaceans, snakes and legless lizards, on and on. And the answers to that can be found on Wikipedia - in articles on mice, shrews, whales, manatees, etc. An encyclopedia is not in the business of having an article addressing any question someone might ask, but rather collating the material that can be used to answer any question. This ain't Yahoo Answers.

  • Comment, the same arguments do not apply, and this is not arbitrary, it is WP:notable, as detailed below, and the introduction has been changed since the time you commented to this, to show its notability: "The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), jaguar (Panthera onca), and leopard (Panthera pardus) are three species of felids that are known for having yellow or tawny fur marked by spots.

  • (ec)Well, let's take a look at Porter1894. It mentions the cheetah in comparison to the leopard (p. 137) and to the tiger (p.240), but not to the jaguar. So this book clearly isn't evidence that the comparison of these three is a notable subject. Nowak 1999? Also a rather passing discussion of leopard vs. jaguar, no discussion of keopard vs. cheetah vs. jaguar (or siply cheetah vs. jaguar).

Jaguar versus leopard:
Cheetah versus leopard:
And that is not all. Even WP:reliable sources talk about it: Leo1pard ( talk) 10:32, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
1) Porter said that the jaguar could be mistaken for a "large and thick-set panther" (leopard) [9]
2) Nowell and Jackson compared the rosettes, heads, builds and limbs of the leopard and jaguar. [6]
3) Nowak compared their physiques. [8]
On the contrary, it is a random combination of three species. You give us some mentions of two-by-two comparisons, including loads of unreliable ones. You lack reliable comparisons of these three (and only these three), using things like pinterest, youtube, and blogs to make your cause; and you ignore that the same sites you use also give other very similar comparisons you don't use. E.g. compareanimal.com (not a reliable site) has, for the jaguar alone, comparisons with black panther, with lioness and with bengal tiger. Other sites make the comparison with an ocelot [60] So your choice to compare these three and not others is a random comparison based on some superficial similarities. Fram ( talk) 11:31, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
No, because the cheetah, leopard and jaguar are considered to be big cats, unlike the serval for example, and I have given my reliable references for that in the content, [9] [6] [8] with other external links being kept in external links, and I have my reliable references for that. I already put in reliable references like these before you commented that I did not provide any, so I have to dismiss your argument as a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Leo1pard ( talk) 11:45, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Like I said above, none of these three sources make this three-way comparison, e.g. Nowak compares (very briefly) the cheetah to the leopard, and to the tiger, but not to the jaguar. Fram ( talk) 11:47, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Wrong, Nowell and Jackson did. [6] Leo1pard ( talk) 12:40, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply

I looked more carefully at the WP:RS and don't see key sources that specifically compare the three species. I am agree with the other newer votes that this is a somewhat arbitrary comparison of the three. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 06:06, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete For this topic to be worthy of an article, it must have reliable, significant, secondary source coverage, not of cheetahs separately, jaguars separately, leopards separately, or big cats in general, but specifically of comparison of all three of these animals. The list of "sources" above are a collection of random, unreliable, mostly self published internet websites. If a giant list of "sources" contains not a single reliable source, then obviously this isn't a notable topic. – FenixFeather (talk) (Contribs) 20:20, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, I already said that aside from some links ( 1, 2, and 3) that I posted already, there are references that directly talk about the issue of cheetahs vs jaguars vs leopards, so this is a WP:Notable topic, not a mere cross-categorization or indiscriminate collection of information, do you need more than these? [10] [11] [1] Leo1pard ( talk) 04:31, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Scientific journals like this [1] are considered reliable, according to the rules. Firstly the complaint that I did not provide any reliable sources, after I did, and now the complaint that a scientific publication like this [1] is not reliable. Leo1pard ( talk) 07:21, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. FenixFeather more or less described what I was going to say. As with my comments at Jaguar vs leopard , discussing differences in somewhat similar species does not indicate notability, but just something of due weight for an identification section. If anything, this is getting into a non-encyclopedic cross categorization violating WP:NOTDIR. Kingofaces43 ( talk) 21:39, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply

[10] [11] [1] Leo1pard ( talk) 04:31, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Those comments are exactly why deletion is justified. What you are describing and WP:DUE for content within existing articles for standard comparison of species for identification. That doesn't reach any level of individual page notability though. Kingofaces43 ( talk) 15:55, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
I said that this is not a mere cross-categorization or indiscriminate collection of information, and I have my sources for that, which are already in the article, and as stated in the article, "comparisons between them (the cheetah, jaguar and leopard) have been made. [10] [11] [1]" and these are not the only sources that compare the 3. If it had been the case that a comparison between the 3 was not directly mentioned in even 1 source, then what you said, that this is a cross-categorization, would have applied, and can you not see that sources like this [1] are reliable scientific publications? In addition, the article is not WP:biased to any of the 3 mentioned species, but states what sources, including scientific publications like this, [1] say about them, how they compare to each other, like in physical appearance. Leo1pard ( talk) 04:52, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep it and the jaguar versus leopard. Both of these articles are encyclopedic. If people need info about the similar look of three cats they can look for on Wikipedia. — Punetor i Rregullt5 ( talk) 07:29, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete differences between species are already noted in each of the species articles. LittleJerry ( talk) 17:22, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    • Comment, other than the link to this article, there is nothing about jaguars in the article 'Cheetah' as of the time that you said this, or anything about cheetahs in the article 'Jaguar'. and like you would often say, the main articles should not always have specific details, and this is not some random choice of species, but meant to detail what sources like this [1] say about all 3, including details that are not in the other articles. Otherwise, do you accept that I would have put in here in the main pages? Leo1pard ( talk) 04:53, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete : random choice of species -- BhagyaMani ( talk) 20:47, 13 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    Comment This is not a random choice of species. [10] [11] [1] For example, Van Valkenburgh et al., in their scientific journal, directly compared the cheetah to the jaguar and leopard, in things like the structure of the limbs. Leo1pard ( talk) 04:45, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • About Van Valkenburgh, the only reliable source which touches the actual topic of the article; it can be read here (at least by me, this may depend on your country). There is one sentence comparing the three, on page 25: "Their elongate limbs, slender body, and small heads distinguish them easily from other similar sized felids, such as the leopard or jaguar." That's it. There's an image comparing the skull of the cheetah with that of the jaguar and that of the extinct giant cheetah, but there is no leopard there. There is a reference to a scientifc article comparing the pharynx (and bite force) of the lion, toger, cheetah, jaguar, and domestic cat, again evidence how such comparisons articles could be made for any combination of felids if one uses the very loose "it exists" rules of the keep proponents. If this is the best source, then it will be a very easy delete. Fram ( talk) 07:39, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Indeed, not any more, please. Something like "The man-eating tigers of Sundarbans" [61] has one sentence fragment about the three animals: "Several of the big cats - like the leopard, jaguar, and cheetah - have handsome spots". It continues with "Lions, bobcats and cougars are a nice tawny colour", so I guess that these three will be your next article? Notability is not shown by such throwaway comments, these are not significant coverage. So not This fashion article from the NYTimes, or BBC texts about illegal fur trade. Fram ( talk) 11:07, 14 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Feel free to complain wherever you want, just be aware that that will also bring your actions to the attention of more editors, which might lead to a WP:BOOMERANG. You again bring up sources which I have already shown to be negligible for this article (van Valkenburgh), or yes, not making a comparison between these three species despite your repeated claims that they do (Nowell and Jackson).

  • Keep/Merge : I after reading over the article wouldn't exactly call it a personal essay, it seems to be strangely worded and could be interrupted as 2nd person narrating or lecturing but I don't find that to be obvious. I also would not say that the existence of the articles Theology and Christian theology rule out the validity of this even existing, wouldn't that be equivalent to saying "because there's an article about Chemistry there cant be an article about Chemists"? I do however think that it would be appropriate to merge this with Christian Theology as the 2 topics seem more similar than say Chemistry and chemists as an example again.

  • Repurpose as a list List of Christian theologians and prune. The article has a merge tag to Christian theology. I cannot support such a merge as that article is already very large and about concepts, not people. The present article has a definition (possibly inadequate); short biographies of two of Protestant reformers (which should be pruned); and a list of other theologians (which needs links).

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Rich Farmbrough with the following rationale "No problem, this is a notable company.". Sadly, Rich hasn't added any new source to justify his claim. All I see in Google Books and such are passing mentions, and few business-as-usual press-releases style notes on acquisitions or such. This sub-stub is still unreferenced and fails to prove its notability, aside of Rich's assertions. We need sources, I am afraid.

  • Strong keep: obviously Kirbanzo, you have not read the article since I added 15 sources today. The meme itself is discussed by Newsweek, The New Yorker and Vice News. I also added supporting quotes and further discussion from a myriad of sources, Huffington Post, Daily Beast, Daily Kos, New York Times, The Hill and I only got off the first page of google. Damn, I thought I also added CNN. Point being there are tons of sources discussing this subject. As I said when I removed the PROD, on WP:GNG grounds alone this is clearly a notable subject. Several commentators have made it a primary theme of their programming. I think the real reason this article is under attack today is it was just added to the Bernie Sanders page, where I noticed it in my watchlist for the first time. But the article has been around for almost a year. Now that it gets some exposure, we will get more people and !votes from the WP:IDONTLIKEIT crowd. But that is not a legitimate excuse to delete an article. Trackinfo ( talk) 02:41, 11 September 2018 (UTC) reply

"After Trump’s election, “Bernie would have won” became a wistful meme, a sign of things that should have been.

— Newsweek

In the post-election climate of shock and chagrin, the phrase “Bernie would have won” caught on among young democratic socialists and other diehard Sanders supporters, and became a meme on social media. It’s a taunting counterfactual, typically tossed off with a sense of melancholy and bit of righteousness—and, often, with the aim of needling centrist Democrats who didn’t get Sanders’s appeal."

— The New Yorker

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies)/ Wikipedia:Notability (websites) requirements. Coverage is in passing, no in-depth review; pretty much the best source is this short write up in a Wired blog, and it is not impressive, nor that reliable (blog, after all). We are not a directory of random pages, and this one doesn't seem that notable. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:37, 4 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Does not satisfy either academic notability or general notability. Being director of a clinical trial program is not in itself notable. Google search shows that she exists and has given interviews, but that is not enough.

An admin moved this page to draft as undersourced, but author has moved it back, so it needs to go to AFD. Robert McClenon ( talk) 11:35, 4 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment the article was started, and most of the contents written, in 2009 by an undeclared paid editor, banned in 2010 even under the much less strict rules at the time. The editor worked almost exclusively on the various products of Internet Brands. Most of the individual article they started then have since been deservedly deleted. That added factor, which I had not noticed when I made then nomination here ,should be enough to make even clearer the need for deletion DGG ( talk ) 17:47, 15 September 2018 (UTC) reply

This songstress appears to fail WP:MUSICBIO. She has only appeared as a featured singer on a handful of singles; and none of her own albums or singles charted. Contested prod. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 15:14, 28 August 2018 (UTC) reply
