  • leaning to keep - I have to say that this is not my area and my terminology might get in the way. But there definitely is a fairly large area in economics called Contract theory and the goal in it will be to get an efficient allocation. It's part of Welfare economics and related to the Coase theorem. It might just need to be merged into contract theory. And, in any case, there should be major improvements made in the text. Smallbones( smalltalk) 23:51, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep or merge. The concept of Pareto efficiency as applied to markets has been around for more than a century. [1] Efficient contracts can also refer to the idea allocative efficiency. GScholar and GBook searches show many sources over the decades. This article could be developed further, but a lot of the discussion of this concept already exists in the article Pareto efficiency. Merging there may provide better context for the topic. Or as Smallbones mentioned above, an efficiency section in Contract theory may be the way to go. --{{u| Mark viking}} { Talk} 19:03, 4 February 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Delete the two previous voters, with respect, appear to be engaging in speculation about what this topic could be without any references supporting their claims. The article reads like telephone tag from a college student's lecture notes. The Lyons reference talks of optimal incentives for both investment and trade, which is entirely different from if a contract exists, then it must be efficient due to survivorship bias in the article. There's nothing verifiable here and this should be deleted outright. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 05:02, 7 February 2019 (UTC) reply
    • I pretty much agree with Power~enwiki. The article as written doesn't do much for anybody. I'd hate to think though that a potentially important topic (or sub-topic of Contract theory) would just be swept away. But given the 3 choices of leaving up the non-article as is, merging to another article, or deletion, I'd choose one of the last 2 choices. Merging might be a case of "merge-to-delete" in any case. I generally take "merge-to-delete" as a fairly devious way of dealing with a problem, so I guess that leaves delete even though there ultimately might be a good article on the topic.

      The book notes:

      The catalyst for this renewed interest was the "rediscovery" of the notion of efficient contracts between unions and employers, and particularly the contribution of McDonald and Solow (1981). Efficient contract theory, which is commonly attributed to Leontieff (1946) and Fellner (1947, 1949) but was in fact present in Edgeworth (1881), depicts unions and employers as rational agents negotiating Pareto-efficient bargains covering multiple aspects of the employment relationship. By providing a coherent model in which to view union bargaining, these models solved one of the major theoretical problems identified in Johnson's earlier survey.

      The article discusses survorship bias and efficient contract theory:

      According to these researchers, cognitive limits on information-processing capabilities preclude people from designing optimal contracts (Langlois 1992). Moreover, people design contracts of varying quality because of differences in information about how to design efficient contracts. As a result, at any point in time, the efficiency of contract provisions varies across firms, as in the form of a controlled experiment. Because contract provisions are costly to change, and because firms must recognize that policies are flawed before they can change them, those firms unfortunate enough to have selected suboptimal arrangements face a higher risk of failure. Thus, over time, efficient contracts are established because misaligned firms tend to fail, while those with efficient designs tend to survive (Alchian 1950).

      In a section titled "Efficient Contracting Theory", the article notes:

      In recent years, much empirical research has found support for the propositions of efficient contract theory (see Lafontaine and Slade 1997 and Shelanski and Klein 1995 for reviews). In particular, Williamson (1975) and his colleagues (Joskow 1987, Masten 1996) have amassed considerable evidence of transaction-cost-minimizing con-tracts in cross-sectional studies of firms with equilibrium assumptions.

      However, many organizational theorists (e.g., Granovetter 1985), have taken issue with the functionalism of efficient contracting arguments, contending that firms, like all institutions, do not arise automatically in the form that is optimal for external circumstances. In particular, organizational theorists have presented three challenges to efficient contracting theory. First, efficient contract theory assumes that all parties are equally able to design contracts. However, different people possess different information (Hayek 1945), creating variance among economic actors in knowledge about how best to design contracts. Moreover, these differential endowments of information also influence the cost of searching for better information (Stigler 1961) because people's endowments of information influence their ability to absorb additional information (Cohen and Levinthal 1989). Therefore, the assumption that all people are able to design optimal contracts is inconsistent with received wisdom about human capital

      ...

      Second, efficient contracting theory assumes that people consider complementarities between a wide range of contract provisions when they design contracts (Holmstrom and Milgrom 1994).

    3. Zax, Jeffrey S. (Winter 1989). "Implications for Efficient Contract Theory". Industrial Relations. 28 (1). John Wiley & Sons: 23–31. doi: 10.1111/j.1468-232X.1989.tb00720.x. Retrieved 2019-02-10.

      The article notes:

      These results are consistent with the theory of demand stimulation. They may also offer some insight into efficient contract theory, in the context of public sector unionism. In principle, employment levels in unionized departments would exceed labor demand at negotiated compensation levels if governments and their unions were to negotiate efficient labor contracts (McDonald and Solow, 1981; Hall and Lilien, 1979). Eberts and Stone (1986) demonstrate that at least in the case of public school teachers in New York state, efficient contracts occur in the local public sector.

      With efficient contracts, the observed employment—compensation locus—which need not be the contract curve (Johnson, 1986—lies to the right of the actual demand curve. However, it may still have negative, infinite, or positive slope. As stronger unions attain higher points on this locus, a negative slope implies a negative relationship between union strength and employment, relative to nonunion employment levels. A vertical locus—a special case of particular interest (Hall and Lilien, 1979; Brown and Ashenfelter, 1980)—implies no relationship. The effects of associations on employment per capita and monthly payrolls per employee may be consistent with vertical loci.

      ...

      Contracts which are efficient in the strict economic sense require unions to sacrifice compensation in return for employment. Contracts which are also efficient in the political sense may eventually allow unions to increase both employment and compensation through the stimulation of demand for local public services. The positive employment effects of local public sector bargaining units suggest that local public sector unions are efficient in both senses.

    4. Hansen, Robert S. (March 2001). "Do investment banks compete in IPOs?: the advent of the "7% plus contract"". Journal of Financial Economics. Elsevier: 313–346. doi: 10.1016/S0304-405X(00)00089-1. Retrieved 2019-02-10.

      The article notes:

      The findings indicate that competitive banks will not break even using 7%, all else the same. The efficient contract theory asserts, however, that all else is not the same and competition in other dimensions will adjust the IPO contract to a "7% equivalent". Here, I investigate two implications of this theory.

      The article later notes:

      The evidence thus far favors the efficient contract theory over the cartel theory. Nevertheless, there remains the important prospect that a subtler form of collusion is present that is undetectable by the above tests.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow efficient contract theory to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • "Efficient contract theory" is an established term. It has been the subject of research such as the March 2001 article by Robert S. Hansen in the Journal of Financial Economics. The definition given in the Wikipedia article about efficient contract theory discusses survivorship bias. Survivorship bias is one of the applications of efficient contract theory as discussed by Scott Shane's March–April 2001 Organization Science article. The article does not violate Wikipedia:No original research. But it can be improved by having a broadened scope to discuss the general topic and other applications of the concept such as efficient contracts between public sector unions and governments (see Jeffrey S. Zax's Winter 1989 article in Industrial Relations).

  • Comment. The above are widely dispirate uses of the term and re-inforce the point that the term, as defined in this article, does not exist. In fact, it is not even clear that these sources are trying to create a defined term, outside of the phrase "an efficient contract". If "Efficient contract" was a defined term (as per "Efficient markets" theory), there would be loads of references with "Efficient contract" theory in the title and a description that meets the description in this article. However, there are none. This is WP:SYN (and largely made-up). Britishfinance ( talk) 10:49, 11 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. There is already a WP article on Contract theory that does not mention "Efficient contract theory". Here is investopedia (which has no "Efficient contract theory" entry) on "Contract theory" – again, no mention of "Efficient contract theory" [2]. Here is an article on the 2016 winners of a Nobel Prize for "Contract theory", and again, no mention of "Efficient contract theory" [3]. The only reference in Google scholar is to the 1996 paper referred to in the article [4]. After that, nothing. Britishfinance ( talk) 11:19, 11 February 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Note to closers. The above needs careful reading, as this article has a specific definition taken from one 1996 paper that was never adopted by other sources. Arguements have been put for other uses of "Efficient Contract" but these are different definitions, and uses (some are not definitions but just use of the phrase "an efficient contract").

Based on what I could find publicly, all I could verify was that he was a co-author of the paper "The Byzantine Generals Problem", and is now affiliated with Vocera. An article stubbed down to that length would not demonstrate notability or that he is a public figure, and sourcing to press releases like [5] wouldn't be good enough. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 23:28, 18 February 2019 (UTC) reply
The "Reaching Agreement" paper (cited >2000 times) as well as several other papers cited in the hundreds of times each, as well as the "Byzantine Generals" paper (cited >5000 times!) are together enough for a clear pass of WP:ACADEMIC#1, in my opinion. Reducing the article to the "Interactive Consistency and Byzantine Fault Tolerance" section, which is a more or less accurate description of the academic contribution, would be verifiable (paper contents + citation metrics for impact) and would show why he passes WP:ACADEMIC#1 with a "significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed".

  • Keep While I agree that the article text needs some aggressive pruning, the subject is verifiably notable under WP:ACADEMIC#1, as a search of Google Scholar will attest. Additionally, much of the SRI-related material is also covered in Donald MacKenzie's MIT Press book Mechanizing Proof, pages 269-272, and searching under "Rob Shostak" finds mid-to-late-1980s coverage in (e.g.) Computerworld, Byte, Infoworld, Personal Computing, etc of his work for companies like Ansa and Borland. So there's also a good case for WP:GNG. With notability easily established, the rest of the article issues are reasons to edit, not reasons to delete.

CYM Group is a student club formed in 2009 at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City to encourage critical thinking. Basically it is a non-notable student club, however, in 2011 it broke the Guinness World Record by making the largest jigsaw puzzle. For this it received media attention. So the question is, does a non-notable student club become notable just by achieving a Guinness World Record and some publicity, or should the article be merged into the university article?

  • Keep. As painter he is clearly notable, because he is the founder of a new painting style. As art expert he is clearly notable, because his reports were of global interest. And as author he is clearly notable, because his books are registered in university libraries. 4evayoung77 ( talk) 02:04, 19 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Per nomination. If he is "clearly notable", then where are the reliable secondary sources on him and his work (besides press-release like articles)? Furthermore, having someone's books registered in (any) library means just that the books are there, nothing else. —— Chalk19 ( talk) 06:27, 19 February 2019 (UTC) reply
PS. Seems to be part of a cross-wiki promotional effort. Celia has got some trivial references as he was involved as "an expert" in the authenticity verification of a supposedly Van Gogh sketchbook (see this) found by the Greek writer on astrology, occult themes, and esotericism, Doretta Peppa. "[T]he Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has discredited" (cf. "Experts fall out over Van Gogh's 'last painting'", The Guardian, May 19, 2008) the Peppa's sketchbook. —— Chalk19 ( talk) 06:51, 19 February 2019 (UTC) reply
PS2. In the article it is written that "[h]is study on the notebook was published in a chapter of the book “The Notebook of Vincent”, for which Athanasio Celia also wrote the preface" (cf. the Greek edition, and the international edition of the book). That's true, but this book is a self-publication of Dorreta Peppa, the founder/owner of the supposedly Van Gohg sketchbook, since her husband Giorgos Alexelis is the owner of the EPOS Press (see in this article in the mainsteam Greek daily Kathimerini: "ο Γιώργος Αλεξέλης των εκδόσεων Επος [συνεκδότης του τίτλου και σύζυγος της συγγραφέως]"), a publishing house specialising in printing books by Peppas and Celia!

If this was an indirect question to me, then please listen to his interviews with BBC and Reuters and read the corresponding studies which include the information you need. There is a list of museums (ref. 54) which can provide catalogues on request.

we do not try to diminish anyone; we try to establish notability by third party sources. it is the way things are done here, based on a policy called WP:Notability. (If you do not like it, we have a policy for that too: WP:IDONTLIKEIT.) We also give no value to the fact that a library has soemone's books. The current notability policy kind of works, seeing as Wikipedia is the fourth or fifth most popular website in the world. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 04:46, 20 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Important notice. The first deletion of the subject was 12 years ago - in 2007 . And the article was deleted, because an editor had wrote it without to use any references at all. This notice is very important, because the first deletion's record is now blanked - I don't know who has blanked it and why. But without the present notice could easily came up the impression that a similar article was deleted, like the very well documented present article. 4evayoung77 ( talk) 07:43, 19 February 2019 (UTC) reply

That link was necessary from the beginning of the voting, and because of that - in my opinion - the current process isn't valid (this is not a personal mention against you or against any other editor).

With all the respect Professor, he had some more interviews which were broadcasted globally (ref.26, 27, 28). And I think that there is no claim in the article that "Verticalism" is a movement, rather that it is "a new form of artistic expression" which relies on a new artistic theory (ref. 8). That theory is published in his fourth publication (p.25-26). 4evayoung77 ( talk) 23:02, 20 February 2019 (UTC) reply

off-topic legal threats discussion
  • @ Power~enwiki, Susmuffin, Darwinek, Kalogeropoulos, ThatMontrealIP, and Theredproject: All users who have voted in this discussion in favour of the deletion of the article, have been attacked and exposed to legal threats made against them by user 4evayoung77, as followers of -according to him/her- of a mean and shameful master plan conceived and implemented by the user who filed this deletion discussion (=user Power~enwiki) to diminish Athanasio Celia. The threats were made in the deletion discussion of the Greek arcticle on Celia (in the beginning via IP [16] but then by a follow up with her/his account [17]). There, she/he states ("υπάρχει η περίπτωση να αρθεί το απόρρητο των χρηστών και να κληθούν σε απολογία από την πολιτεία. Εγώ προσωπικά έχω ανακρίνει αρκετές τέτοιου είδους υποθέσεις") that in cases like this it is always open the possibility to have the wikipedian's identities disclosed and the users interrogated by the authorities. User 4evayoung77 stresses that she/he is a procecutor/district attorney (and points meaningful that he she/has revealed her/his identity in en-WP, cf. [18]), and -furthermore- that he she/has experience of conducting interrogations of this sort her/himself. —— Chalk19 ( talk) 13:54, 21 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Please concentrate yourselves on the matter, and don't try to attack me because of my identity. I gave only useful legal information and I never cross-examined, attacked, or threatened anybody... because this would be a crime, even through internet forums. But please consider that the subject is alive, that he never gave interviews about himself (I never found a self-promotional effort of him), and that he is active as a philanthropist without promotion - publicity... That means that institutions (like hospitals for children, churches etc.) which received philanthropic help from him, could maybe feel hurt by careless comments about him and file a complaint (and therefore I gave legal information). 4evayoung77 ( talk) 15:07, 21 February 2019 (UTC) reply

Two articles about municipal elections in a suburban town, not really offering any substantive content to make them worth maintaining. They both completely elide the mayoral race, the regional council seats and three of the four local wards, offering results tables only for one ward race -- and the 1991 table just says the winner was elected, without actually including the vote totals at all, while the 1994 table just says she was acclaimed. All of the sourcing in both articles, further, is parked entirely on followup mini-biographies of non-notable people: 1991's on Judi Longfield's non-notable competitor, and 1994's on the non-notable person who was selected to replace her after she resigned from the municipal council to run for Parliament. Which means neither of these actually has any real reason to exist: they're not offering any actual substance about the election, but both exist solely because Longfield won the parliamentary election and served as an MP — so in actual practice, they're really just functioning as a way to sneak minibios of non-notables into Wikipedia under the guise of event articles rather than as properly sourced or substantive articles about elections that are noteworthy in their own right.
WikiProject Canada's established consensus around Ontario municipal elections is to do one merged article per census division rather than separate articles about each individual town or city, so no prejudice against the creation of 1991 Durham Region municipal elections if somebody can actually find adequate sourcing to properly support more than just one town-level ward in Whitby -- but since these are missing eight of the nine offices that were actually up for election in Whitby, and are parking their sourcing entirely on overcovering non-notable people instead of on any actual substance about the election itself, they're not useful to maintain in the meantime.

This article is a WP:BLP that contains 1 third party source. Quick google-fu only shows articles that talk about the same event as the bbc article and interviews with the subject. Additionally, the article is heavily promotional. Almost every sentence is non-encyclopedic and most of the claims are not backed up by even the unreliable sources. For example "He is the first Tumblr influencer to have approved for the new partner program with the campaign starting at V Festival with support from ASOS" is not backed up by any source at all and just links to a post from the concert on the subject's Tumblr page. If I were to remove all non-sourced content from the article, the only thing left would be a sentence based on the bbc article, and that is not nearly enough to qualify for WP:GNG.

  • Comment. Originally looking at the article, the sources are terrible. The only acceptable one is the BBC article. But with a search, there's coverage in Metro, V Magazine, Gay Times, Billboard, and Cosmo. Those sources talk about the anit-homophobia work, his tumblr, starting a podcast, signing a book deal, and being an influencer. -- Kbabej ( talk) 21:19, 11 February 2019 (UTC) reply

Gbooks snippet-preview p.73 ( here) "This is a simple, typical North Hessian food from a ..." (end of preview), so i don't really know hom much in-depth it goes.

Received this from reference desk:

I couldn't get a better preview, but managed to tease out some more text by repeatedly searching for the last phrase of each search result: "Das ist ein einfaches, typisch nordhessisches Essen aus einer Mehlschwitze mit ausgelassenem Speck und darin gebratenen Zwiebeln, dazu gab es Pellkartoffeln. Manchmal aß ich bei den Schneidersleuten am Tisch mit. Der Geruch dieses..." [2] "Der Geruch dieses Duckefetts lag mir immer sehr in der Nase. An Gerüche kann man sich noch lange gut erinnern. Der Schneider hatte nicht nur seine Schneiderstube in Riede. An einem Tag in der Woche war er auch in Kassel, in der Dörnbergstraße. Dort hatte er sich ein Zimmer angemietet für seine Kasseler Kundschaft. „Da kann euer Junge ruhig mal mit hinfahren", meinte der Meister zu meinem Vater. Wenn der Schneider von seiner Kasseler Kundschaft sprach, dann bemühte er sich immer hochdeutsch zu sprechen. Die Kunden in Kassel waren irgendwie vornehmere Leute als die Dorfbewohner". [3]

Some further sources: my grasp of German is somewhat limited, but try: Du Stadt im grünen Grund by Manfred Knierim. Deutschland: das Kochbuch by Alfons Schuhbeck. Hessisch kriminelle Weihnacht: 25 Krimis und Rezepte edited by Ursula Schmid-Speer, Anne Hasse.

  • Comment @ Valereee:, thanks for finding that. Basically only the first sentence of the quote is about Duckefett; together with the Deutsche Welle article it might pass as a "weak keep" for me (but rn im undecided, as merging is also an option). For the other sources: Du Stadt im grünen Grund seems to be published by a self-publishing service, so it's somewhat questionable as a source per WP:SPS; Deutschland: das Kochbuch is a cookbook by famous chef Alfons Schuhbeck, which has a recipe for Duckefett. Hessisch kriminelle Weihnacht: 25 Krimis und Rezepte is a mix of crime fiction novel and cookbook, Duckefett is mentioned a few times and there also is a recipe included.

  • Comment: firstly, I think the "Romania Top 100" and "Media Forest" charts are one and the same, because in 2013 the only chart in Romania was the Airplay Top 100, compiled by Media Forest. That chart was broadcast on the Romanian radio station Kiss FM, and the song certainly reached at least number three on that chart, because there is an archived copy of Kiss FM's podcast of the chart of 9 June 2013 [23] - you have to download the podcast in order to be able to listen to it, and the song comes in at 2:18:10. But the Moldovan chart position can't be verified, and unless someone can come up with some good sources in Romanian, a redirect to Carla's Dreams seems to be the best option, as the band is unquestionably notable in Moldova and Romania. Richard3120 ( talk) 22:06, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
@ Richard3120: Redirect: The charts are indeed messed up in that article; for an overview of the charts operated in Romania, see Romanian music charts. The song attained some commercial success, but it isn't enough for a stand-alone article in my opinion. Redirect as well. Cartoon network freak ( talk) 23:01, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Comment - worth noting that there seems to be a lot more results in Russian (the name of the song means "I don't give an F" in Russian). My Russian is not nearly good enough to contribute to sourcing, but perhaps we can get some native input? Skirts89 15:53, 11 February 2019 (UTC) reply

Inadequately referenced article about a band notable only for appearing in, but not winning, a reality show. As always, competing in a reality show is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself, but literally nothing else stated here passes WP:NMUSIC either -- and even the referencing is parked on one video clip of their appearance itself on the reality show's own self-published website and one short blurb, which is not enough media coverage to satisfy GNG.

  • Keep - They have participated in both Talang and Melodifestivalen. Their song was released yesterday and will without a doubt chart on Sverigetopplistan on Friday. Also per criteria 1 on WP:NMUSIC, by friday they will cover Criteria 2 of the same guideline. They also cover Criteria 10 and 12 of WP:NMUSIC as of today. Clearly notable. BabbaQ ( talk) 18:31, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
The article states exactly nothing about them that is even remotely relevant to either NMUSIC #10 or NMUSIC #12. Criterion #10 does not cover off just any performance of any song on any television show, but pertains only to recording the primary theme song to a television series — and criterion #12 does not cover off every single appearance as a performer on a reality show, but only applies to news or documentary content profiling the band as a subject. Competing on a reality show and losing is not a notability criterion at all — the winner of the reality show is the only person who ever gets to have "was on a reality show" be the article-clinching notability claim in and of itself, while everybody else who competed but lost gets to have an article only if and when they have passed the same other notability benchmarks as any other musician who was never on the show at all. And releasing a single is not a notability freebie just because you predict that the song will become a hit in the future — if it hasn't already been a major hit single, then crystal balling its prospects of becoming one in the future counts for nothing. Bearcat ( talk) 21:04, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
The "future" is in 5 days. Secondly the group covers several sections of WP:NMUSIC as established above. Also, Melodifestivalen isnt a reality show, it is an established singing competition on primetime TV. BabbaQ ( talk) 21:12, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Firstly, you are interpreting the NMUSIC criteria incorrectly: neither NMUSIC #10 nor NMUSIC #12 covers off appearing as a non-winning contestant on a music competition show at all. And for the purposes of NMUSIC, there is no significant distinction between a "reality show" and an "established singing competition on primetime TV", either — because the reality show is also a singing competition n primetime TV, and the notability criterion for that is still winning it, not just being on it and losing. Bearcat ( talk) 21:32, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - As BabbaQ writes. Only the performance yesterday on Melodifestivalen should be enough. The rest is a bonus. Adville ( talk) 20:26, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
They competed in Melodifestivalen and failed to advance to the next round. That is not enough — notability from Melodifestivalen derives from winning it, not just from being present. Bearcat ( talk) 21:04, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Melodifestivalen is not a reality series. It is an established singing competition on primetime TV. Secondly, I have explained that High15 covers Criteria 10 and 12 of WP:NMUSIC. And that by friday the groups song will have charted. That is why Adville correctly !voted Keep. BabbaQ ( talk) 21:10, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Thank you Adville for adding an additional good source to the article. BabbaQ ( talk) 21:14, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
And I've already explained above that you are interpreting both NMUSIC 10 and 12 incorrectly. Criterion 10 refers to performing the primary theme song to a television series, not just to making an appearance on it — criterion 10 notabilizes nobody appearing on any singing or talent competition as a competitor, and applies only to the composer of the theme music the show uses over its opening credits. And criterion 12 does not magically hand every contestant on a singing competition a notability pass either — it applies only to bands or musicians who have been the subjects of dedicated news or documentary specials specifically about them. Simply appearing on a singing competition but losing does not pass NMUSIC #10, and it does not pass NMUSIC #12: those are both for completely different things that have nothing to do with competing in any form of singing or talent competition but failing to win it. Bearcat ( talk) 21:26, 3 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Bearcat, about Talang, I agree. That is wannabees competing. Nothing more. You lose you are out.
Melodifestivalen, however, is different. You are not in it without being someone. Maybe on your way up and notable enough to be asked to performe. Or you already are up. If you look at the land of original, Sweden and svwp, all artists/groups performing in Melodifestivalen are notable to get an article. (Not every member in a group). This makes them notable enough for an article in svwp. If you are not familiar with this part of Swedish culture, which has fostered a lot of our Great international artists, I understand your questions. But some research how it work from you will clarify it. Best regards. Adville ( talk) 02:32, 4 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Well, no, that is incorrect. Melodifestivalen is a "major miusic competition", as discussed in NMUSIC. If a musician ends up in first, second, or third place, that means they meet that criterion. According to the sources, they ended up in 6th place. It's clear-cut, I'm afraid. Maybe any band that performs in schlagerfestivalen is notable enough for a sv.wp article. That has zero bearing on their notability on en.wp. -- bonadea contributions talk 18:52, 9 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as after their #46 debut on Spotify they'll surely make it to the Swedish charts on Friday, but for the next Mello contestants I'd suggest to wait a few days until the criteria are met to create the article.

  • The article subject covers point 1, point 10 and point 12 of WP:NMUSIC. It is a guideline established by the Wikipedia community. Any opinion that differs from that are POV and POV never trumps guidelines. This article should be kept, if we follow our own set guidelines. BabbaQ ( talk) 10:50, 11 February 2019 (UTC) reply
The article says nothing about them that passes point 10 or point 12 — as I already pointed out above, the only way anything stated here passes either of those criteria is if you misinterpret the criteria to mean something completely different than what they were actually intended to cover. #10 covers off writing a show's theme song, not appearing on a reality show as a non-winning performer, and #12 covers off being the subject of news or documentary content, not appearing on a reality show as a non-winning performer. And all of the sources in the article are either (a) non-independent (appearing on a reality show does not translate into a notability freebie just because the reality show uploads a video clip of the performance to its own self-published website), or (b) glancing namechecks of their existence in articles that aren't about them — so passage of #1 isn't being demonstrated by these sources either.

    Specifically, the topic itself is useful, which is why the topic is notable. Unsuccessful school attacks are broadly studied and discussed in an attempt to figure out how to stop these sort of attacks. School attacks are somewhat unusual among mass-violence in that people involved know each other, at least sort of. Key findings are the importance of forming relationships with all students and quick, grounded reaction by staff. As there continue to be more unsuccessful attacks over the coming years I expect the list to grow and perhaps it will lead to new discoveries on what to do. Because a great deal of safety advice is ignored by students, it is important that this article remain on the internet. Descriptions of events that occured in the recent past in my opinion are less likely to be ignored than the safety advice. Maybe someday, Joe Shmoe will read it, infer with his own mind on what to do, and make a difference in the real world.
Additionally, it perpetuates a fallacy to only list the "successful" attacks on WP, as if only the point of view of the attacker matters. These "unsuccessful" attacks perhaps should be renamed List of successfully stopped attacks related to schools-- Epiphyllumlover ( talk) 01:25, 19 February 2019 (UTC) reply

  • 1st remove the non-notable/signicant shootings from the article (that would reduce it by at least 50%) then convert it into one table, alternatively, add a paragraph/section that discusses the shooting with the largest/er number of casualties. Coolabahapple ( talk) 06:08, 5 February 2019 (UTC) reply
Then this AfD should have been opened after renovating " List of school shootings in the United States" extensively. It is a wrong order. Could anyone voting Delete explain how to pick the highest death incident from the current " List of school shootings in the United States"? It is virtually impossible.―― Phoenix7777 ( talk) 06:19, 5 February 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Death toll of school shootings (e.g. all the news stories - "deadliest school shooting", "Nth deadliest school shooting) is obviously a notable intersection of school shootings. As long as List of school shootings in the United States is formatted in a way that isn't sort-able by death toll, then this article is not redundant fork. Should List of school shootings in the United States become sort-able (seems to entail putting it all in one list without the era section breaks) - then I'm amendable to changing my !vote. Icewhiz ( talk) 12:10, 5 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Keep It's not a duplicate, it is a shorter list of a specific subgroup, arranged in an order users will find useful. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 21:17, 5 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, another concern is the arbitrary nature of inclusion in this list (4 or more deaths), why not double figures only, or 3 or more? where are the sources that back up 4 as the appropriate number? Coolabahapple ( talk) 00:05, 6 February 2019 (UTC) reply
    ps. the sort of thing that is required for WP:LISTN (as is sources that discuss (part of) the group). Coolabahapple ( talk) 00:19, 6 February 2019 (UTC) reply
    I changed the listing criteria from "four or more victims" to "the worst 25" (actual number is 27).―― Phoenix7777 ( talk) 00:39, 6 February 2019 (UTC) reply
    That's still just as arbitrary. Why not 30 instead of 27? or 42? or 50? Even worse, now it's an unsourced claim (on top of "worst" being WP:POV, but that's a minor point) – there's no way to ever verify that something hasn't been missed. And it's still ultimately a duplicate of the information at the main list. This reduces maintainability even further. If you think it's really that vital that people be able to pick out the highest-death toll shootings, then the main list can be worked into a single table (which might be a good idea anyway). Making a separate list that duplicates the information in another every time some idiosyncrasy of the main list prevents someone from gleaning one facet as efficiently as possible is a bit asinine. – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon •  videos) 00:59, 6 February 2019 (UTC) reply
    (Full disclosure, I just reverted the change as unsourced). – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon •  videos) 01:01, 6 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: "Top 10", "Top 25", "Top 100", "four or more victims" and so on are inherently all arbitrary not backed by any source. It is ridiculous to request a source for the number. The number is determined by a consensus which number is the best suited for a list. The arbitrary number cannot be a reason for AfD.―― Phoenix7777 ( talk) 08:11, 6 February 2019 (UTC) See Deadliest Mass Shootings in Modern US History Fast Facts (not limited to school shootings) by CNN. Why does this article list eight or more victims? It is because CNN arbitrarily determined that the number is the best suited for the list, not too long and not too short.―― Phoenix7777 ( talk) 22:58, 6 February 2019 (UTC) reply
    Indeed - that's a content issue to be discussed in the article. Icewhiz ( talk) 08:13, 6 February 2019 (UTC) reply
    No, what's unsourced is that the 25 listed attacks are indeed the deadliest 25 and that none have been missed (even as of a particular date). That sort of claim does require a source. And that still misses the point that it's an arbitrary cutoff point to duplicate material from a list that already exists. – Deacon Vorbis ( carbon •  videos) 14:39, 6 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, mmmm, interesting, so we dont need any sources as the no. is inherently arbitrary? well here are some more lists relating to school shootings that im sure will be useful/of interest, look forward to them being created: "List of School Shootings in the US by number of perpetrators", List of US School Shootings by State", List of US School Shootings by Size of School", "List of US School Shootings by Size of Community", "List of US School Shootings by no. of Injuries".

Nabeel has an extensive modeling career and has acted in 3 serials and 1 film in span of two years so in this way, this is not the case of WP:TOO SOON.

The result was keep.

  • Keep and develop. It is about the historic building, and I think in practice we do cover all theatres surviving from its era, at least of high-style Art Deco or various revival styles such as Egyptian Revival, or at least all those that have been restored such as this one has. From source in the article: "a flamboyant example of Assyrian style architecture. It’s interior has guilded lions, ornate columns and very elaborate light fixtures. It was built in 1927 and the architect was Wyatt C. Hedrick of Fort Worth. Opening night was December 5, 1929 when a vaudville show was presented on stage, and on screen was Bebe Daniels and John Boles in “Rio Rita”. / The exterior is done in cut sandstone with black marble. Columns frame the entrance. / The Yucca Theatre was closed as a movie Theatre in 1974. It was restored in 1981 and is now used for live performances, operated by the Summer Mummers. It seats a little over 1,600. The Yucca Theatre is a Texas Historical Medallion Landmark." It got a historic marker in 1981, as I just verified from Texas Historic Sites Atlas. -- Doncram ( talk) 19:30, 6 February 2019 (UTC) reply
It's good to have the material about the building in a separate article, with appropriate categories ( Category:Theatres in Texas etc.) and links to other examples as navigation aids to readers. And to cover its architecture and its history before the Summer Mummers. On the other hand, the article about the organization there now, the Summer Mummers, could do with some paring down, IMHO. -- Doncram ( talk) 23:41, 7 February 2019 (UTC) reply

Lower tier institutions sometimes pay people to write bios of their staff. Prominent ones like Harvard or University of Cambridge do not need to.

Actually, having worked for one such institution, even at the highest levels some certainly do write staff bios for WP. There are multiple different groups doing PR at a major university, they often work independently, and at least one of them may well write a bio here even if it is the general university policy not to: besides the university PR dept., there's the PR dept. of the grad school or medical school, etc., and the person in each department who does PR, and often a person in some large research group who sees to the PR. --all of these count as paid editors. (I also know this exists because of the internal evidence of style here, which I can do not like to detail on-wiki, , and, more directly, because I have had discussions with people in these positions to dissuade them from contributing here.

  • Comment I believe that short author lists, let alone single-author papers, are a rarity in Page's field, so looking for them would not be helpful in applying the WP:PROF criteria. Going by media coverage [25] [26] [27] [28], she's not "only" in administrative work. XOR'easter ( talk) 18:55, 18 February 2019 (UTC) reply
The practice of many large research groups is to include everybody's name regardless of their contribution. That is why it is difficult to write bios of people in such groups until later in their careers when they branch out and demonstrate independent achievement. Xxanthippe ( talk) 06:31, 19 February 2019 (UTC). reply
The sources are about the discovery of the group, not about her. The UTube (which is not considered to be a reliable source as it is unmoderated) posts, suggest that she is the group's PR contact. Xxanthippe ( talk) 21:30, 18 February 2019 (UTC). reply
The videos are clips from BBC Four's The Sky at Night; they just happen to be hosted at YouTube. What she is actually doing when they filmed her is not administrative or PR work, but handling live reports from the Swift space telescope. XOR'easter ( talk) 21:59, 18 February 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. I think the notability case is borderline (there isn't quite enough for WP:PROF#C7), but the content isn't so bad that it needs expunging, either. So, a redirect-with-possibilities appears the right way to go. XOR'easter ( talk) 16:29, 22 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as WP:TOOSOON and failing WP:GNG. Keeping an article like this would require lowering the bar for notability, and ironically rather than advance or elevate coverage of women in science, it coddles them by treating minor achievements (e.g. undergrad awards) or fleeting coverage as important enough to warrant encyclopedic coverage. --Animalparty!

List is not encyclopedic content and we are not the Hot 100. Looks like listcruft and WP:NOTSTATS. List is nothing more than poll/popularity data that is subject to rapid changes and maintaining these lists is not what Wikipedia is about. These lists are magnets for UPE/COI promotional editors.

There also seems to be enough people following and updating the page that I'm not concerned with it becoming out-of-date.

  • Keep The question of whether this is WP:OR is an interesting one - I'm inclined to say it's not. Looking at articles in Category:Lists_of_superlatives, they usually seem to follow the same pattern as this one, where the value attributed to each item in the list is sourced, but there's no source for the list/ranking as a whole. e.g. in List of oldest cats, we have a citation saying that Nutmeg lived to be 32 years old, but we don't source the claim that this makes her the 8th oldest cat. Perhaps the reason this pattern has been allowed to stand in so many articles is that identifying and sorting the largest values (of cat ages, Instagram likes, exoplanet sizes, etc.) can be considered a form of routine calculation? Given the popularity of superlative lists, I do wish the topic were treated WP:STANDALONE. Colin M ( talk) 02:17, 20 February 2019 (UTC) reply

The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. The article's first, second, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth sources are all unreliable sources. Being interviewed by Nigerian Entertainment Today and YNaija doesn't make one notable. Also, being nominated for the Future Awards Africa and the City People Entertainment Awards doesn't qualify one for stand-alone inclusion. A YouTuber with only 26, 000 subscribers and 1.3 million channel views cannot be notable. There are tons of YouTubers out there with more than that who are not notable.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 22:26, 10 February 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Agree on very weak sourcing. I did find a few articles on BellaNaija (e.g. 10 vloggers to watch), but I can't opine on whether BellaNaija is a good RS? There are listings of him being nominated for awards ( The Guardian (Nigeria)), but no more, and certainly no proper article on him as the main subject from a significant source (e.g. don't think this is a proper RS for a BLP TechCabal). Leaning to Delete. Britishfinance ( talk) 12:46, 16 February 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I agree with you, Ammarpad. The article has about half of the references as unreliable citations, and after removing the bad references and the information supported by those references, it is going to be small.
