Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:CRYSTALBALL. This restaurant popped up in the news before failing, and it's looking for investors right now. There's quite a few news articles on this restaurant's opening, but nothing afterward. As such, it passes WP:GNG but fails to fulfill WP:SUSTAINED and therefore fails WP:NOTNEWS. – FenixFeather (talk) (Contribs) 23:53, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Fails WP:GNG with lack of significant coverage from multiple indepenent, reliable sources. Does not meet WP:NHOOPS by playing in LaVar Ball's fledgling Junior Basketball Association. The only articles I have found that are more than trivial mentions or routine game coverage are from https://www.expressnews.com ( San Antonio Express-News) and https://www.mysanantonio.com, which are sister sites of Hearst Communications that are based in San Antonio, where Lyle's college University of Texas at San Antonio is located. However, GNG states: "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability" Thus, they only count as one combined source. — Bagumba ( talk) 19:02, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nomination. – Sabbatino ( talk) 09:00, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep I honestly don’t understand this effort to purge Wikipedia of JBA pages. Lyle is more notable than most as he was named Conference USA Sixth Man of the Year before joining the JBA, and I could provide a source for that. In addition to the several articles in the San Antonio Express-News, and it is important to keep in mind that San Antonio is one of the largest cities in the country and the Express News is not just a hometown paper, I was able to pull up an AP piece and this article based on a quick Google search. I could have found more if I looked harder. It is interesting the timing of this nomination since Lyle has been named to the JBA team touring Europe and will presumably get some coverage there. He will probably join a European team next year anyway, but there are enough sources right now to pass GNG. ~ EDDY ( talk/ contribs)~ 19:40, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    • Keep, with a question to ask regarding an article that was already deleted. I second that notion, especially if some of these players do have notability to their names like Lyle has right now. Someone like Deon Lyle could very well provide enough positive coverage for himself to where, yes, he can very well play for at least a proper international team sooner than later! Not to mention the fact that, since he's 22 years old and is under the notion of playing for a professional basketball team (even if you may question how professional it really is), he's also technically NBA Draft eligible as well. In fact, while on the topic of finding things under Google searches, I have to ask why exactly did Curtis Hollis warrant an article deletion himself? I mean, I checked the games out a bit, and it seemed to me he had some better overall playing abilities than Jordon Myers did during the one season they played together back in Houston. What exactly warranted his article being deleted without any warnings on my end? Anyways, Deon Lyle does have more notability than most JBA players would thanks to his previous college career, and he does look to at least have a genuine basketball career ahead of him moving forward, so I say keep his article up. – AGreatPhoenixSunsFan ( talk) 23:20, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply
      • Comment: None of what you said makes him notable. The notion that Lyle's pro prospects make him more notable falls under WP:CRYSTAL. Player performance in the JBA, experience in NCAA basketball, or NBA draft eligibility do not count towards notability whatsoever. Runningibis ( talk) 00:39, 21 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    • Press releases aren't independent @ Editorofthewiki: The source you referenced above by "this article" is a press release (or a promotional piece) from Cloud County Community College (CCCC), which Lyle attended. It is not "independent of the subject", as specified by GNG.— Bagumba ( talk) 11:36, 21 September 2018 (UTC) reply
      • There is also this written by a veteran journalist if you are doubting reliability. Plus a solid paragraph here. Some coverage in this article. Some more here. If he was a G-League player with this kind of coverage no one would complain, but since he is a JBA player he is nominated for deletion. ~ EDDY ( talk/ contribs)~ 16:13, 21 September 2018 (UTC) reply
        • Analysis The "veteran journalist", Jerry Briggs, seems to be a former newspaper writer with his own personal blog, which you linked. I dont know enough about him or his current work to comment on his reliability per WP:SELFPUBLISH. The "solid paragraph" you linked is from Conference USA, where Lyle was playing, so is again not independent for GNG purposes. The other two are one sentence mentions.— Bagumba ( talk) 17:11, 21 September 2018 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP of a musician, who has neither a strong claim of notability under WP:NMUSIC nor strong enough reliable source coverage to carry it. The strongest notability claim here is that "her song" was featured in an episode of a television series, but the reference for that claim reveals that it wasn't actually her song, she was just a guest musician on somebody else's. And of the seven references here, nothing's really helping to get her over WP:GNG: one is a Q&A interview in a university student magazine, five are unsubstantive blurbs, and the only one that even starts to count as a data point toward GNG is a piece of local coverage in her hometown community weekly. Which means that this is not enough coverage to get her over WP:NMUSIC #1, and she doesn't have a strong claim to passing any other NMUSIC criterion either. As always, no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when the notability equation changes. Bearcat ( talk) 18:55, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment -- the nomination states, in part, "...And of the seven references here, nothing's really helping to get her over WP:GNG..."
I suggest the nomination is using the wrong yardstick. Surely anyone with experience here has come across articles, particularly new articles, that are weak, poorly written, or poorly referenced, or both -- which yet were written on highly notable topics.
It is for this reason that nominator are supposed to conduct their own web search, so that if they decide to bring the article to AFD, they are doing so after making their own independent analysis as to whether the underlying topic is itself notable. Weak articles on notable topics are supposed to be improved, not deleted.
In my opinion, after a nominator has conducted their own, independent, meaningful review of all the available references, their nomination should address all the available references. Some people who weigh in at AFD rely on the nominator, trust the nominator, and don't take even a minute to perform their own web search. For this reason, I think a nominator who did the work necessary to meaningfully comply with WP:BEFORE then has to mention the references that the article is not currently using.
Right now seven of the references the article currently uses includes one reference to Now magazine. Now is a serious publication, with a long history of serious investigative reporting. A couple of years ago I added material to an article on a municipal politician in Virginia, who opposed a Virginia streetcar route, who naively quoted the criticisms of streetcars of, wait for it, Rob Ford. The main reference I used was an article from Now, written by Ben Spurr. The other contributor then naively assumed that NOW was just a bunch of unresearched, non-journalistic fluff pieces, wrapped around entertainment ads. Now is a free weekly publication, largely supported by entertainment ads -- but one which published serious, reliable articles, drafted by writers who do real research. Spurr, who they mocked, was soon hired by the Toronto Star, specifically to cover transit issues. So, he did know what he was talking about.
I did my own web search, and I will list here references the article could use, which it isn't currently using. Preview, there are two more articles about Mighty from Now, several by Exclaim! and a bunch from Brampton publications.
I am going to repeat that, in my opinion, it is a mistake for any nomination to confine itself solely to the references articles are already using, and to ignore the existence of the references the article is not yet using. Geo Swan ( talk) 22:47, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
The question isn't about whether Now is a serious publication or not — the problem is that the citation to Now is not substantively about Haviah Mighty for the purposes of helping to get her over WP:GNG — it's a mere 100-word blurb about her in a "many blurbs about many people" listicle, which states nothing about her that would pass any NMUSIC criterion, and therefore contributes nothing toward helping to make her notable enough for an encyclopedia article. Not because it's Now, but because it's unsubstantive and verifies nothing notability-making about her.
You've had to have it explained to you more than once in the past that there's a distinction between "sources which verify that the topic exists" and "sources which actually help to make the topic notable" — and you clearly need to have that explained to you again, because none of your sources below are improving the case for inclusion at all. A person is not automatically notable just because her existence gets namechecked in articles that aren't substantively about her, and a person is not automatically notable just because her own hometown hyperlocals (In Brampton, Bramptonist) have covered her doing things of purely local interest — a musician becomes notable enough for a Wikipedia article only when substantive coverage about her qua her exists in the context of her accomplishing something that satisfies an NMUSIC criterion.
If she doesn't have nationalized coverage of a nationalized accomplishment, like a hit single on Billboard or a national tour or making it into rotation on CBC Music or getting a Juno Award nomination, then local coverage in her own hometown media paired with glancing namechecks of her existence in articles that aren't about her is not enough coverage to hand her "notable just because media coverage exists". Every possible Google hit on her name is not automatically a notability-assisting source — only certain specific kinds of coverage actually help to build notability under WP:GNG, not every single web page that includes her name in it at all. Bearcat ( talk) 16:40, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  1. Please clarify. Do you accept that policy require nominators to make a reasonable effort to consider all possible references, not just those that have already been included in the article?
  2. Your initial nomination states: "The strongest notability claim here is that "her song" was featured in an episode of a television series, but the reference for that claim reveals that it wasn't actually her song, she was just a guest musician on somebody else's." Hmmm. Unfortunately, you didn't specify which reference said "...she was just a guest musician on somebody else's." Care to clarify which reference said that? I won't claim to be an expert on music, but I suspect you may not have given the references to an article on an artist you don't respect enough attention to really understand what they say. I found multiple references that talk about one of her songs being used in an episode of Insecure (TV series) Insecure. I didn't see any of them say she was merely a guest musician. They said the track was produced by someone named "Book". I won't claim to be an expert on music, but I do know there are some famous music producers, Daniel Lanois, Phil Spector, Mutt Lange. Music smarty-pants routinely said Shania Twain was a nobody, until she met, and was taken under the wing of her future husband, Lange<. Music smarty-pants said he took her songs, essentially keeping her lyrics, and her melody, but transforming her sound, by, I don't know, adding supplementary instruments, and studio tricks, like, I don't know, reverb. Music smarty-pants may recognize the style and significance of a music producer, but without stripping the song's authorship from the original song-writer. I think there are instances where music producers are listed as co-writer, and other instances where music producers who no one would begrudge a co-writing credit, forgo that credit -- knowing their peers will recognize their style, and the songwriter's fans couldn't care less about their role in the song's sound. I am not a music smarty-pants, but I am extremely skeptical that music producer try to supplant the intellectual property rights of song's songwriters. Is it possible you didn't read the references closely enough, and made the mistake of thinking that Mighty was merely the guest musician on a song she wrote, because her music producer was also mentioned?
  3. You use the phrase "mere 100-word blurb". One hundred words is not a "passing mention". Meaningful detail can be packed into one hundred well-written words. And if multiple references each devote something one hundred well-written words, but each pack different details into their 100 words...
  4. You refer to "glancing namechecks of her existence in Exclaim! articles that aren't about her". The third reference I offered below is from Exclaim!, and devotes over 200 words to her most recent release. The fourth reference devotes 171. The fifth reference devotes 268. So what do you mean by a "glancing namechecks"? How are these article not about her?
  5. You wrote: "If she doesn't have nationalized coverage of a nationalized accomplishment..." I am going to include the first criteria from WP:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles. I don't see it requiring "nationalized coverage of a nationalized accomplishment". I see it explicitly specifying publications, like student newspapers, that don't count. I don't see it explicitly discluding local newspapers. Geo Swan ( talk) 02:54, 21 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  1. I never said otherwise at all. However, that policy does not mean that we just count the number of Google hits a person's name gets, and keep anybody who meets or exceeds some arbitrary number of footnotes while paying no regard to notability factors like how substantive any given source is or isn't, how nationalized its geographic range is or isn't, and whether the context of what they're getting the coverage for verifies a valid notability claim or not. I did "consider all possible references, not just those that have already been included in the article" — and the other possible references just aren't cutting it.
  2. You're clearly not a music smarty-pants. In electronic dance music, the producer is considered and credited as the primary artist on the track, with the vocalist either relegated to "feat." status or not named in the artist credit at all — for example, " Wake Me Up" is labelled as an Avicii song, not an Aloe Blacc song. The reference I checked was the reference that's being used to support the statement — and it makes quite clear that the primary artist credit on "Vamonos" is to Book. Please also note that NMUSIC does not actually extend notability on the basis of song placements at all — creating and recording the series theme song to Insecure would be a valid notability claim for a musician (but even then, NMUSIC explicitly states that a person who has that as their only notability claim fails WP:BLP1E and therefore gets a redirect to the series rather than an article). But placing one song in one episode is not an article clincher in and of itself, not even for Book as the primary artist.
  3. Short blurbs do not count toward getting a person over WP:GNG. It's not a question of evaluating whether the blurb "packs" meaningful detail or not — anybody can simply claim that any blurb is "meaningful" — a blurb is inherently less substantive than a feature profile, and thus blurbs count for much less toward establishing GNG than coverage that expands beyond blurbness does.
  4. The problem with the Exclaim! references is that they're covering her only in the context of playing shows in Toronto. But for a musician from Brampton, Toronto is still the local market, not evidence of passing NMUSIC's touring criterion. Literally every band or artist playing the Toronto bar scene at all can always eventually show reviews in Exclaim! or Now or the Toronto Star or Eye/The Grid before it went belly-up or Torontoist or BlogTO, so the existence of reviews of local shows in what's still the artist's own home market is not a magic GNG pass for an artist who can't show concert reviews outside her own home market as proof that she passes the touring criterion. That's completely separate from the "glancing namechecks" issue, which has more to do with the fact that she doesn't magically pass GNG just because her name gets briefly mentioned in a Billboard article about TIFF. If and when Billboard writes and publishes a whole article about her, that will count as evidence of notability — but simply having her name mentioned in a source about something else does not help her get over GNG.
  5. Local coverage is not strictly banned from being used at all in articles — it's absolutely allowed to be used for verification of facts. But it does count for significantly less in terms of helping to establish that the topic is notable under GNG than nationalized or internationalized coverage does. As I've pointed out many times before, if GNG paid zero attention to the geographic range of coverage, and simply kept every article that technically surpassed an arbitrary number of media hits regardless of the "local vs. national" balance, then a lot of topics that we do not currently accept as notable would have to start getting kept: city or town councillors in every city or town that has a council, school board trustees, non-winning candidates for office, winners of high school poetry contests and battle of the bands competitions, owners of local businesses and food trucks, presidents of parent-teacher associations and community organizations and condo boards, organizers of local events, child actors who get human interest pieces in their local media as soon as they get cast in their first-ever bit part, my mother's neighbour who got into the local papers a few years back for finding a pig in her front yard, everybody who ever got profiled in the real estate section for their house-hunting process and/or their unique taste in interior design, and me, are among the topics that we would have to keep articles about if "the existence of purely local media coverage automatically gets them past GNG and therefore exempts them from having to actually have any real notability claim of enduring nationalized significance" were a thing. So no, a person from Brampton getting covered in the Brampton Guardian or Bramptonist or the Toronto Star or Now, in purely local contexts that don't pass any NMUSIC criterion in and of themselves, does not assist in helping her get over GNG in lieu of not passing any NMUSIC criterion — and even Exclaim! doesn't automatically reify into GNG-passing coverage, if the context of what it's covering her for is still localized and fails to satisfy an NMUSIC criterion. And also, incidentally, you acknowledge that NMUSIC explicitly specifies "publications, like student newspapers, that don't count", and yet you're listing the Algonquin Times, a student newspaper, as supporting notability below?
The bottom line is, we do not just hand an automatic GNG pass to every single person whose name happens to surpass a certain arbitrary number of media hits — we do evaluate factors like the geographic range that the sources do or don't represent, the depth of coverage that any given source does or doesn't offer, and whether the context of what the subject received coverage for passes the notability criteria for their field of endeavour or not, before we deem a person as passing GNG.

Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.
  • This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries except for the following:
    • Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.
    • Works consisting merely of trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories.
    • Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar), in most cases.

WP:BLP of a musician, who does not have any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC or any strong reliable source coverage to carry it. The strongest notability claim being made here is that his music exists, and the only sources being cited are a WordPress blog and a single piece of local coverage in the subject's own hometown — which means the sourcing here isn't solid enough to get him over NMUSIC #1, and nothing stated in the article gets him over any of NMUSIC #2 through #12 either. Obviously if he breaks out strongly enough in the future to change the notability equation, then the article can be recreated at that time — but nothing here is enough to already earn him an article as of today.

@ Insertcleverphrasehere: I am sorry but I disagree with you as per WP:PERESSAY. FOOTYN is an essay and failure to meet project specific guidelines essays is a legitimate argument to use in deletion discussions as is meeting project specific guidelines. As per point A: #3 in WP:BEFORE "further related essays at Category:Wikipedia notability." are part of the reading list and FOOTYN is in that category. Meeting these guidelines is an almost surefire way of having an article kept so pointing out that the project specific guidelines are not met is a way of showing that a BEFORE search has been done and that that argument cannot be used. There are a very large number of deletion discussions that are kept on the basis of these kind of essays even if GNG is not shown to have been met. -- Dom from Paris ( talk) 16:59, 25 September 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Domdeparis: I said it isn't a valid reason for deleting. While FOOTYN might espouse some views on what the Football Wikiproject thinks is generally notable, it says nothing about what is not notable. Given your subsequent comment I see now that you weren't using it as a reason for deleting, but rather just pointing it out so that others didn't have to bother searching, which is fine I guess. GNG is what is important, and I am glad that you based most of your deletion rationale on that. — Insertcleverphrasehere ( or here) 04:42, 26 September 2018 (UTC) reply

This is ~basically~ an attack piece with sources; i would have nominated per WP:ATTACK but it has sources. There is also an WP:UNDUE/ WP:NOTNEWS issue. The content is about an unfolding scandal, which may or may not turn out to have substance, and has intricate detail that is not encyclopedic - yet omits key details. Even the main independent source for this, notes that the investigation is being led by Rodolfo Fariñas, who leads the other political clan that has ruled the tobacco-growing province for decades, but this page somehow fails to mention this. In addition, this matter is already discussed in the the article about this person at Imee_Marcos#Misuse_of_tobacco_funds, which is sufficient detail for now.

Update: Since I see that the title of the article has so much to do with how focused it is on Marcos, I've taken the liberty of moving the page from "Imee Marcos' Misuse of Tobacco Excise Tax Funds" to " Ilocos Norte Tobacco Excise Tax funds controversy." I've also done minor revisions to the lede section and will try to make some changes further down in the text, as soon as I am able to do so. - Alternativity ( talk) 16:50, 5 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Second Update: I've made a number of changes to the article to clarify and further expand its scope, including a backgrounder on Tobacco in the Ilocos provinces and on the Tobacco fund law, and a section on previous controversies involving President Estrada and Ilocos Sur. I've also added a "missing information" hatnote in the section listing the individuals accused. I think that for the purposes of NPOV there needs to be a section on dynastic politics in the Ilocos region, and I think that the article chronology needs to be improved. But since this is not a historical era in which I have much expertise, I'll leave that all up to editors more up-to-date on current events. (Sorry, I'm mostly useful for providing historical backgrounds.) So I think that's it for me for now.

  • Keep I had already regarded it as notable, and I am satisfied that Alternativity's efforts have substantially taken the focus away from Imee Marcos to such a degree that I doubt anyone would consider this an attack piece. The context of Prior Controversies on use of Tobacco Excise Tax funds is especially helpful, and is not suitable for merging in any other article. Daask ( talk) 22:50, 7 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Unlike the ace of spades and other card articles, there is nothing particularly significant about the queen of clubs. The card is described as having some meaning in cartomancy, but so does every other card. It has a given name in the Paris pattern, but so does every other face card. The "gambler's card" nickname appears to be limited to an Australian winery's backstory, and all the other facts about this card are that it sometimes appears by chance or inevitability in situations involving playing cards, and that you can use the phrase as a golf pun.

" It was deprodded by the creator, User:Maury Markowitz , with the following rationale "trivially easy to find articles on the company (mostly as Komatsu-Zenoah) and their products. Mentioned in Popular Mechanics, for instance, as an ultralight engine source, and in "major companies" guides)". Few months later I prodded it again, since this came up on my spam radar again, and was declined by Maury again - both times without bothering to ping me, despite my clear request to do so. Well, it's time for an AfD. This article is still a poorly referenced stub, and the fact that the company is mentioned a few times in other sources is not sufficient; as it stands, the article fails the notability requirements noted above. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:25, 4 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Comments:

  1. I'm being accused of posting "company spam".
  2. The OP has not followed the PROD guidelines by re-posting the PROD.
  3. The only statement of reasoning for the D is "poorly referenced stub", which is, of course, what a stub is.
  4. I see no evidence that the OP seriously considered any of the links I mentioned.

But whatever, if the OP feels this article is damaging the Wiki, by all means, argue away. Maury Markowitz ( talk) 11:37, 4 September 2018 (UTC) reply

@ Northamerica1000: I would support a merge, if I could find even *one* secondary article mentioning that Zenoah is part of Husqvarna Group. Yes, it is unquestionably part of it based on WP:PRIMARY sources from the company (e.g. company webpages, product pages and press releases). I also agree the tone of the current article is fine. But I'm seeing zilch on WP:SECONDARY sources, so I have trouble even justifying a merge. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 23:54, 26 September 2018 (UTC) reply

TheGridExeThe project did attract some attention from the local press, but nothing substantive, as nothing substantive ever happened with the project. They largely just directly reported what the Jacksonville Transportation Authority said about studies and reports they did. For instance this just reported on JTA's comment that on a feasibility study, and this dead link said the project would be costly and was unlikely to ever come together. This just said that one of the towns would support the project if it came together, which it didn't. Not only did it not get off the drawing board, it never got onto the drawing board after some initial studies. It can't even be said that JTA cancelled the project at some point, as it wasn't even to that stage, they just stopped talking about it.
It's also not connected to SunRail (a similar, real project in Central Florida) or Brightline (which isn't a commuter rail project, and doesn't operate in Jacksonville).-- Cúchullain t/ c 13:52, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

@ Cuchullain: The Rail Feasibility Analysis Summary Report study I linked above from FDOT provides a detailed summary with the project:

First Coast Commuter Rail In 2009, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) along with First Coast MPO and Northeast Florida Regional Council conducted a study on the feasibility of commuter rail throughout the JTA service area. The study found three feasible preferred alternatives, which included routes from downtown Jacksonville to St. Augustine, downtown to Green Cove Springs, and downtown to Yulee. Preliminary planning efforts were completed in 2014 and included travel demand modeling. The downtown-to-St. Augustine corridor (Southeast Corridor) would run parallel to Florida East Coast Railway’s tracks along Philips Highway. It would extend 38 miles and would feature 13 stations. The downtown-to-Green Cove Springs corridor (Southwest Corridor) would run along tracks owned by CSX and Norfolk Southern and would span 29 miles with 12 stations. The North Corridor from downtown to Yulee would be the shortest at 23 miles long but would have 15 stations. As of December 2017, funding is not programmed for further project development and evaluation of the corridors.

I'm unsure if this got molded into something else as there's a bus service with the same name. However, to say it didn't get anything beyond "local coverage" is kind of a misnomer when we're talking about Jacksonville (largest city in size minus Alaska) and St. Augustine. – TheGridExe ( talk) 15:51, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Local to the Jacksonville metropolitan area, which includes St. Augustine. What you're quoting is just an announcement that the study was done. It never proceeded beyond that point, it hasn't merged into anything else, and there are no sources that say anything beyond the fact that JTA once commissioned feasibility studies for commuter rail. As the summary says, JTA has not committed any further money to get any such project on the drawing board, let alone off the drawing board.-- Cúchullain t/ c 17:36, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
What I quoted was from a Rail Feasibility Analysis Summary Report that FDOT did for Interstate 75 (not 95) Relief. A feasibility study is definitely more than a planning board adding something to a LRTP. It's still a study by FDOT that verifies the project regardless of its progress. – TheGridExe ( talk) 15:49, 21 September 2018 (UTC) reply
David Tornheim: This isn't remotely as significant as the Cincinnati subway, which at least got to the stage that some infrastructure was built, and has a lot of sources about it. This is an idea that was floated and then abandoned by a transit agency before getting anything but cursory attention in local press at the time.-- Cúchullain t/ c 13:52, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
What evidence do you have that it was "abandoned"? I don't remember seeing it in the WP:RS. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 08:50, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply
When I wrote this, JTA called me and told me they'd dropped the commuter rail plans years ago and don't have any current ones (I added a comment to that effect after their call). It's not surprising that that hasn't been covered in many reliable sources, because it just sort of quietly fizzled out before any real planning and work was done. There are occasionally still comments about commuter rail being desirable at some unspecified future point, and there are more likely possibilities for things like Brightline, but nothing more than that as far as "First Coast Commuter Rail" goes. Frankly, given that this never moved past the initial studies, the article shouldn't have been created in the first place.-- Cúchullain t/ c 15:26, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply
See, this info could have been presented from the start before having to dig for information. Saying the article shouldn't have been made at the time (2008-2009) just really is the nature of urban planning. The article could have expanded as such but a merge can benefit just as well. For instance, there's a lot of railroads that are forever stubs (which is fine with Wikipedia) due to the Florida population boom of the 1920s. – TheGridExe ( talk) 15:54, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Thanks for the explanation. Even though we can't use that in the article, I trust your accurate reporting of that phone call. I'm still in agreement with TheGridExe that something that is planned and not executed does not make it un-notable. Plans can be notable. I certainly agree about stub railroads, which can be like feeder canals ( Glens Falls Feeder Canal) (or abandoned segments of canals) that had "bigger and better" plans. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 00:34, 21 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Author of multiple published books. Books are each subject of multiple published book reviews. Notable author. Independent notability. Notability prior to, during, and after any one individual particular event. Sagecandor ( talk) 17:59, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Publishing books doesn't necessarily mean notable. See WP:AUTHOR, where the guidelines are "widely cited," "originating a new concept," "well-known work," or "significant critical attention." I don't think Judge can demonstrate any of these. Mr Ernie ( talk) 18:34, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
@ Fuzheado: The third criterion reads, "If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented." There is no question that Ford's allegations are significant. However, Mark Judge's role in the underlying event was at most unsubstantial. As Ford tells it, his active participation consisted solely of jumping on top of the grappling couple, sending all three tumbling. Even accepting her version as true, we are left to ponder why he did so. Was it drunken horseplay or was he trying to prevent a rape? And in any case, Mark Judge himself denies the whole incident. KalHolmann ( talk) 18:35, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
( edit conflict)@ Fuzheado: They do not meet the criteria for WP:AUTHOR. From what I see it meets all three criteria for WP:BLP1E. Certainly only received the vast majority of his coverage in relation to this one event. After this event they are unlikely to be notable for anything besides this event. Finally their roll in this event is rather insignificant. If they need to be covered in relation to this even they can be covered in any of the three other articles that talk about it. PackMecEng ( talk) 18:38, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

RS say otherwise, with little to no coverage of the books before this event. Even then they meet no criteria of WP:AUTHOR. So no coverage and no impact from his writing means they are not notable for their writing. PackMecEng ( talk) 18:40, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Wrong. Multiple book reviews for multiple books. Sagecandor ( talk) 18:48, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
Unfortunately my friend you are very mistaken. Also he fails to meet the other criteria of WP:AUTHOR as others have pointed out. Point one, heck no. Point two, again nope. Point three, don't think so. Point four, not happening. Having books does not make one a notable author. PackMecEng ( talk) 18:53, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
WP:AUTHOR as author of multiple books that satisfy WP:NBOOK, does make one a notable author. Sagecandor ( talk) 18:59, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
WP:NBOOK is for the books themselves, not the author. Which these books do not meet either btw. Also WP:AUTHOR has nothing to do with the number of books. PackMecEng ( talk) 19:02, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

You kind of skipped over the first part, which must be met before the "in addition" section you quoted.

  • No. When he came into this week's news cycle, he was being described as a as a high school drinking/partying buddy of Kavenaugh' who had published a memoir about his youthful alcoholism. Turns out he published several. I started this article only after looking and ascertaining that his books had gotten enough coverage back when they were published to support notability. It looked like this [14]. WP:HEYMANN, many more pre-2018 sources have since been added, a couple by me, most by other editors. What I want to point out is that it is routine and legitimate for an editor like me who creates pages often, to notice a topic because it is in the news cycle, run some searches, and decide that the subject in the news had pre-existing notability, as happened with Judge who can pass AUTHOR on pre-2018 material. Of course, a lot of WP:BLP1Es are kept, because the person has become too notable to delete (you might want to re-read that policy). But to me, and despite the fact that I had never heard of him until this week, Judge is not in the [[WP:BLP1E] category because of the many years of coverage in WP:RS.

That is not the same as saying The person would still be notable if this event had never occurred. The one event, along with the prior coverage both factor into to GNG, and it's not necessary that either of those alone would meet GNG to say that both of them together do. BLP1E is not leave to arbitrarily ignore extant sources when considering the entire body of sources available for a subject.

  • Delete per WP:NOTESSAY. Not seeing any sources directly discussing this. The closest I could find was two books, firstly this book, which has a chapter on "The rise of neoteric positivism". This doesn't really discuss evolution, it seems to be a defence, or reinvention, of logical positivism. However, our essay article may be looking at evolution from the POV of this philosophical school. The philosophy itself is barely notable, let alone its view (if it actually has one) on evolution. The second book is differential evolution with a chapter on "Neoteric differential evolution". The book is about the algorithms of evolution. It is highly mathematical and does not seem to relate to our article at all. I suspect that the word neoteric is being used here merely in a generic sense of its meaning. It does however, have a passing mention to Darwin in a student question "Does differential evolution obey the natural selection theory of Darwin?"

Moved from Talk:Neoteric evolutionary theory

There seems to be a problem - I have failed to communicate the nature of the Neoteric approach to Evolutionary Theory. a) It's a theory b) It's in a Neoteric 'state' - unmentioned, unexplored by evolutionary scientists, paleoanthropologists, etc. c) The 'theory' is a set of conclusions derived directly from their findings however, supported by Darwin's own writings. d) The notion of recall is first mentioned by him (Darwin)as being the prime mover of 'consciousness'. You can look it up. I gave the reference. e) Consciousness underpinned by recall is not found in other species. f) What I call the 'Recall Paradigm' drives human behaviour. g) Human behaviour is characterised by an ability to shape the environment directly. h) So unlike all other species, we don't rely on slow mutational changes to evolve as 'better fitted' to a particular niche. i) Instead of evolving physically, mental evolution ( the Recall Paradigm ) enabled us to leapfrog the entire process. j) The evidence is all around us. Key advances like flint tools (3.3 mya) are the date stamps for the evolution of mind. k) So we can inhabit fabricated niches - like towns, a submarine, space vehicles, New York, a farm, Wikipedia. l) There is nothing new here; the evidence is all around and stretches back millions of years. m) It just needs a little insight to connect all the dots. n) Sorry I've caused you all so much grief. Obviously, you're not ready for all this. 0) The 'mental niche' is uniquely human and expanding exponentially. Pity Wikipedians want to vote the other way. p) In the light of this I think an entry in Wikipedia not relevant any more. q) I too vote delete DeQuinceyMalden ( talk) 15:26, 25 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Restore redirect to University of the Philippines Diliman. The notability test for a radio station is not passed just because the article says it's passed — it's passed only when its claims to passage are supported by reliable source coverage about the station in media other than itself. But of the seven footnotes here, five are to the university's own web page (which is still a directly affiliated primary source, and not support for notability), and the Rappler source is still a press release from the station itself (so still not support for notability). And the last one, PeriodismoHumano, is a citizen journalism project that allows anybody to submit their own personal journalism about anything, and thus still not valid support for notability because that type of publication can be (and often is) misused by people and organizations to game our rules by creating their own "media coverage" about themselves. The notability test for a radio station is not passed by what an article says, it's passed by how well the article can reference what it says to media coverage it didn't create itself — and the sources here simply aren't cutting it at all. So this can certainly be mentioned in the article on the university, as is standard for student radio stations, but these sources aren't adequate to earn it a standalone article separately from being mentioned in the university's article.

  • Restore redirect back to University of the Philippines Diliman (disclosure: I'm a UPD alumni) I've looked at online local major newspaper articles and it seems that at best sources that I could find are only passing mentions of the station and people who are working or has worked in said station. I don't think any of these mentions are enough to make an article out of the station. The strongest claim for the article's notability are the The KBP Golden Dove Awards nominations and the Golden Dove Award for a program but those mentions can be easily added to the main UP Diliman article. Personally speaking, the station is there to improve the skills of the College of Mass Communications students and help UP researchers promote their projects which is cool and all but that does not necessarily makes the it notable. -- Lenticel ( talk) 01:01, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Snow keep. Leaving aside the presentism of assuming that an online presence is the most important indicator on notability, it was trivial to find other online mentions relating to the NOAA/BoF website, as well as a good many mentions on Google books.
These boats, much like some of the Canadian fisheries patrol boats, punched far above their weight in influence on boat design, and were, like the Healy, often the only real representation of their federal governments in remote waters and outports. IMS, these boats also directly inspired some of Weston Farmer’s work well inland. Qwirkle ( talk) 16:32, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    • The NOAA site is not an independent source, it is the government talking about a government ship. The Google books results, could you perhaps indicate which ones you consider significant and independent? Most seem like passing mentions (something like the Pacific Motor Boat, Volume 14 source) and routine announcements, or again not independent, like the "Fisheries Service Bulletin". Which ones of "Pacific Marine Review - Volume 14 - Page 71", and "Pacific Motor Boat - Volume 14 - Page 37" are the "good many mentions" you refer to, and which of those is actually a significant, non routine, independent source? Because after these four I have now mentioned, there is nothing as far as I can see in those results which is even about these boats at all. Oh, and "the presentism of assuming that an online presence is the most important indicator on notability", no, but it's all we can base us on, certainly when the article creator doesn't add any sources (online or not) showing notability initially or after the article was prodded. Simply assuming that old things will be notable somehow is not really helpful.
    • For the rest of your comments, do you have any independent evidence that these boats had such an "influence on boat design" and so on? Just making that claim is not really sufficient. Fram ( talk) 20:48, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - There is in-depth coverage by the NOAA and WP:GNG makes it explicitly clear that "reports by government agencies" are acceptable sources.

    • Of course government sources are acceptable sources, if they are independent, as the GNG makes perfectly clear in the bullet point after the one you reference. A government agency reporting on the history of that agency (or a very closely related one) is not an independent source. In this case, the sources from NOAA are perfectly acceptable with regards to verifiability, but have zero value for notability. And all the sources in the article are from NOAA... Fram ( talk) 06:45, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: I am the originating author of the article and am working on a project to captrue the maritime history of current and previous U.S. government agencies, including coverage of U.S. federal fleets other than that of the U.S. Navy. These include the NOAA fleet, the fleet of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (an ancestor of NOAA), etc. Right now I am working on the historic fleets that were ancestors of the National Marine Fisheries Service side of NOAA, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, and the U.S. Fish Commission. Pending the outcome of this discussion, I have suspended my project until I find out if my efforts will be wasted by deletions of the some of the articles I am creating in order to capture this otherwise poorly covered maritime history. I note the following:
    • For ships in U.S. federal fleets, mere association with a U.S. federal fleet seems to be enough to qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia. Fore example, cargo ships, tankers, patrol boats, etc. with otherwise unremarkable histories are extensively covered in Wikipedia if they served in the U.S. Navy. The maritime history of other U.S. agencies ought to be considered just as important and – unless we want to start wholesale deltions of Navy shipos based on some other notion of notability criteria – should merit similar treatment to the Navy, i.e., their ships get included.
    • The development of a fisheries patrol capability in the Territory of Alaska was important to the Bureau of Fisheries, and this ship and her sister were the first two fisheries patrol ships ever constructed for that service. There is some significance in that alone,both for NOAA and Alaskan history, as well as ship history.
    • I do not understand the idea that a NOAA site reporting on its own history makes it somehow self-serving or suspect. NOAA gains no monetary benefit from posting the information for public use. The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships is a U.S. Navy source and forms the basis for most U.S. Navy ship articles on Wikipedia, often without other sources in the case of many obscure or older ships that did not benefit from the existence of the Internet in their lifetimes. Is there anything in the AFSC History Corner series of articles that suggests that NOAA is making up the history, or reporting it in a self-serving way? I rather think that NOAA is one of the best sources for its own history, because if it doesn't care about its history, who does? And, as always, I have edited out any signs of hyperbole or romantic description that NOAA may have indulged in (as I do with sources like DANFS for Navy ships).
    • The NOAA site cites sources used for each article. (DANFS does not, but is accepted.) The NOAA site also clearly describes what is known and unknown, attributes its photos, and so on, and even solicits addiitonal research anyone can provide, so it clearly is trying to achieve and maintain the best possible historical information. Why would it not be viewed as meeting a high standard?
    • I continue to research this vessel, but most online information appears to come from this one source. I think we should keep the article and keep researching it. Rather than deletion, a "this article relies too much on a singel source" note would be a better and less destructive approach than deletion, which simply sets Wikipedia back without gaining Wikipedia anything. I understand that Wikipedia is against "do no harm" arguments, but surelyd eletion for notability or single-source is a misapplication of those concepts in this case.
    • Does the nomination for deletion come out of true, universally agreed upom lack of notability, or out of the nominator′s personal lack of interest in the topic? If the latter, keep.

How do we make Wikipedia a better source for non-U.S. Navy fleets if we delete ship articles because only the U.S. Government parent agency has written about them or because other information on the ships is hard to find? And why would we apply a different standard than we do for DANFS and U.S. Navy ships? How about continuing research in the years to come instead of deleting articles? Mdnavman ( talk) 18:05, 20 September 2018 (UTC)mdnavman reply

      • US navy ships (or any other nave for that matter) with the same type of problems should be deleted as well, but WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not really a good argument. You seem to be making some strawman arguments as well. I never suggested that anything in the article was made up or false (by you, NOAA, anyone). The only concern is that all we have is an organisation writing (in great detail) about their own organisation, and that no one else has bothered to pay significant attention to this. Blaming this on "but it's a pre-internet object" is not really convincing, I often write about things which are much older but get solid attention (in articles, books, ...) in recent years anyway. That's what notability means: that independent sources have paid attention to it, preferably over a long period of time. Fram ( talk) 07:22, 21 September 2018 (UTC) reply
I'm sorry if I came across as trying to provide strawman arguments. What I was trying to do is explain my rationale for thinking that articles like these have merit. I have noted over time that fans of article deletion tend to always be able to find something in Wikipedia policy that seems to justify deletion (notability, which usually is a matter of opinion based on reader interest, not something formulaic as deleters present it to be; "do no harm," which deleters use to counter the argument that the article seems to do some good and should remain unless there is some compelling reason to delete it; and now you have added "other stuff exists," which takes away the argument that common practice should be applied across Wikipedia, and that established norms someone might cite in defense of retaining an article are themselves wrong). I find these uses of these policies unconvincing; I thought they were there to delete, say, a high school student writing about himself or herself, or someone writing about the gas station down on the corner where nothing has ever happened except for people buying gas. I remain surprised and disappointed that these policies are being used as a way of justifying the deletion of the coverage otherwise interesting topics that are under-covered on Wikipedia (or even elsewhere on the Internet). My point merely is that NOAA, like DANFS, is an authoritative source; it clearly is providing well-researched, fact-based information about its history with citations; it is not credible that there is not interest in the topic outside of NOAA; as we can see from the smattering of "keep" responses above, there is interest in the topic; and it's not as clear as you make it out to be that a lack of Internet presence can be construed as a lack of notability. In fact, the lack of Internet attention may reflect a lack of attention rather than notability, and any judgment of notability needs to be based on something more intrinsic to the topic that Internet popularity. I suspect that if you launched an initiative for the deletion of a lot of U.S. Navy ships you deem not notable - which I think you are confusing with not being interesting to you - that you would encounter much resistance, because I think you are not taking into account that association of a vessel with a federal fleet is itself a notability factor than you must honor before engaging in deletion of an article. As for NOAA writing about itself and its history, I can't think of a better place to start building an article on a NOAA ship than with information NOAA itself holds on its own history. Who would know better than NOAA? I would agree with this article being classified as a "start" article and receiving a "single source" note at the top of the page, but deletion strikes me as unmerited and a destructive act that makes Wikipedia a lesser place, at least when it comes to the maritime history of the U.S. Government and without benefiting Wikipedia or its users. To me, it's harder to argue that we DON'T want articles like these than that we DO want them. Mdnavman ( talk) 12:55, 21 September 2018 (UTC)mdnavman reply
You seem to be confusing notability, a concept restricted to Wikipedia in this form, and "noteworthiness". "it is not credible that there is not interest in the topic outside of NOAA": that you and other editors may be interested in this topic has no actual relevance here, as long as no reliable independent sources have shown said interest in it. "you are not taking into account that association of a vessel with a federal fleet is itself a notability factor" Again, you don't seem to be talking about our actual guidelines ( WP:NOTINHERITED) but about what you consider noteworthy. "the lack of Internet attention may reflect a lack of attention rather than notability": this is the crux of your mistake here, attention is notability on Wikipedia. Said attention does't have to be online, a good book which hasn't been made available online is equally valid; but a lack of attention is a lack of notability. "As for NOAA writing about itself and its history, I can't think of a better place to start building an article on a NOAA ship than with information NOAA itself holds on its own history. Who would know better than NOAA?" Now you are arguing verifiability, which is not under dispute here: the NOAA source is perfectly acceptable for the contents of the article, and I have no reason to doubt the veracity of the facts. But this is not what is (or should be) discussed here.
I didn't use "other stuff exists" as a reason to delete this one (that would be some weird "we already have enough ship articles, no need to have one more" argument which I wouldn't support), I indicated (through a link which reflects a long-standing rather generally held opinion, not something I just made up) that arguing to keep article X because article Y, Z, and Q exist, is rarely accepted here: X needs to be able to justify its retention on its own.

No sources or non-opinion content. After reading the discussion on WT:MATH#Mathematical practice, I think it needs to be fixed (converted to something (at least theoretically) sourceable), changed to a Wikipedia essay, or deleted. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:32, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Speedy Keep The nomination makes no clear proposal; it just lists some issues and wants the article discussing in a general way. But we already have an appropriate discussion in progress, as the nomination notes, and so this is forum shopping. As for the topic, it might be difficult as it is rather broad in nature, as it will tend to have at least three strands:
  1. the way in which mathematics is performed at the cutting edge, from the geometry of Euclid to modern techniques such as computer-assisted proof
  2. pedagogy – the way in which mathematics is studied and taught, from rote learning of multiplication tables to mastery
  3. philosophy – the way in which the practice of mathematics affects its nature. For example, did you know that Italian mathematicians used to hold votes to determine whether a proof was correct or not? See The Changing Nature of Mathematical Proof.
These aspects are covered in numerous substantial sources and so the topic is highly notable. A selection follows. Andrew D. ( talk) 05:19, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Comment, looking at Coopers Edge via gmaps there are plenty of occupied houses, and facilities, including a school, so to state that it "is as yet unfinished" is a bit misleading (of course there may be new houses being built there but it may just be out-of-date information), i have been bold and removed those words. having a quick look at google for sources (there aren't any apart from the usual local and community type announcements) it appears to be a part of Brockworth, Gloucestershire so, in line with WP:NPLACE, a redirect/merge there with a couple of sentences may be appropriate.

  • Keep. It is standard for Wikipedia articles on major software components to have information on version histories. Sometimes these are in the articles themselves such as at Linux kernel. Since articles can become large they are more often done in Wikipedia:Summary style with major subtopics in their own articles. Version histories can be such child articles as seen at Category:Software version histories. These child articles do have to meet notability requirements in their own right. Though this article currently relies on Microsoft sources, .Net Framework releases are covered in independent software publications as a quick google search shows: Microsoft Releases .NET Framework 4.7.2. Not to mention the negative magazine coverage that comes up when Microsoft breaks something and has to retract an update. There is a lot of independent coverage of these versions due to issues raised in the business community that could be added to the article. StarryGrandma ( talk) 00:06, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Erm, it's already been split. I don't think our counting methodologies are the same - see List of .NET libraries and frameworks, this, the main one and any others hanging around. My point being the topic is notable (rated high and top), so merge rather than deletion would be prudent (not that I see any consensus or reason for that). Widefox; talk 18:18, 19 September 2018 (UTC) reply
That answer didn't address the question that the nom fails DISCUSSAFD as quoted. It's not clear from the nom why it should be deleted, but presumably the notability of the topic .NET Framework isn't questioned? No? In which case see WP:Viability of lists While it is best to re-establish notability within the list, it is not always necessary. Some lists are notable because the topic itself is notable. If the topic is notable then a list dealing with the topic is notable... . The nom doesn't address that this is a notable topic, rated high and top. Widefox; talk 17:39, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Keep This is just a sub-article of .NET Framework. The parent article is notable, so I'd say sub-articles inherit the notability of the parent. SJK ( talk) 05:23, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    @ SJK: sub-articles don't inherit the notability of the parent, see WP:NOTINHERITED. wumbolo ^^^ 10:34, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    @ Wumbolo: WP:NOTINHERITED is says that a person being notable doesn't make their child or spouse or parents automatically notable. i.e. one person/thing being notable doesn't automatically make a separate but related person/thing notable. But that is not what I mean by "sub-article". I mean an inseparable aspect of the article topic, which might be treated in more detail in a sub-article, but which is not something which can have an independent but related existence. (The version history of a software has no separate or independent existence from the software itself; unlike relatives, who have independent lifespans, and can do very different things in their respective lives; for that reason, relatives have a need for separate evidence of notability which a software version history sub-article doesn't.) So I don't believe WP:NOTINHERITED is applicable to this case. SJK ( talk) 11:45, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    ( edit conflict) @ SJK: so List of Google Search logos is a valid article topic just because it is a sub-topic of Google Search? Furthermore, changelogs are explicitly excluded from your logic because they are listed on WP:NOTCHANGELOG. wumbolo ^^^ 11:49, 23 September 2018 (UTC) reply
    @ Wumbolo: As far as your hypothetical "List of Google Search logos" article goes, I don't see the problem with such an article, if someone feels motivated to create it. Changes in the Google Search logo not infrequently get some media attention, so I think there would likely be sufficient WP:RS to sustain such an article. Also, "WP:NOTCHANGELOG" is not an absolute prohibition on software version history, it is a prohibition on excessive detail. I think the appropriate level of detail is that found in reliable sources that are independent of the vendor. For a very popular software product like .NET, there are going to be many independent reliable sources talking about its new releases and the new features they introduce, so the level of detail this article represents is justifiable. Less popular software products, there is unlikely to be any reliable independent coverage of the version history, so it is going to be harder to justify such an article. Now, the article as it currently stands relies almost entirely on non-independent sources, but a cursory search of Google News and Books will establish there are lots of independent sources for this kind of information for .NET which can be used – and all that counts for WP:AFD is that usable sources exist, even if the article in its current state doesn't cite any of them.

75% of these 6 sources are of her employer, VH1; she doesn’t have reliable sources outside of that. This article is a stub. She lacks her own notability at this time and I highly suggest redirecting it to the Love and Hip Hop article until she accrues enough notability.

  • CommentPer Consensus  : While currently has no current visibility profile and probably at the end of its lifecycle I am unclear if it achieved notability and the dead link to an article in the Guardian doesn't help. But all said it doesn't spring to mind in my memory. Djm-leighpark ( talk) 09:32, 13 September 2018 (UTC) The Guardian article was in the Wayback archive (dunno how I missed it) and was a blog so I can see no reason to keep unless someone brings a revelation to the table.

Does not pass WP:GNG, no in depth coverage at reliable sources. If, as the article says, he is best known for being friends with imam Omar Suleiman then it seems that this article makes no claim to the subject's notability. signed, Rosguill talk 05:18, 12 September 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete No substantial coverage outside of his association with Omar Suleiman. I see a few other news articles in local coverage and passing mentions, but they don't add up to anything to suggest the world at large has taken notice of the person for him to qualify under any notability criterion per WP:N. It is possible he may qualify in the future as he appears to be active in various issues, but at the moment not quite notable enough yet. Hzh ( talk) 11:25, 20 September 2018 (UTC) reply

Article about a radio station, completely unreferenced and tagged as such since 2010 without improvement. While I don't doubt that this exists, as it's listed in and linked from Catholic Media Network, one of the base conditions that a radio station has to meet to qualify for its own article is that it originates at least some of its own programming in its own standalone studios, rather than serving strictly as a pure rebroadcaster of a parent service -- but neither this article nor Catholic Media Network's adequately answers whether that condition is met here or not. And another condition that a radio station has to meet to be deemed notable is that it is properly referenced so that the content is verifiably accurate -- a condition which quite clearly isn't met here.
