The guideline states that a "fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor." is presumed notable. How selective is the honor of being elected FRCP if you can
nominate yourself?
schetm (

The page doesn't seem to say you can nominate yourself. It does say you can declare your interest in becoming a fellow if you're already a member of the RCP. Even then though you have to be approved by the RCP council. The fellowship itself
appears to be considered pretty prestigious.

Comment - according to the
IEEE Member Grade Elevation page, "The grade of Fellow recognizes unusual distinction in the profession and shall be conferred only by invitation of the Board of Directors…." Per the '
WP IEEE' page, Fellow "cannot be applied for directly by the member". At least try.

DELETE - Subject does not meet notability requirements of
WP:NACADEMIC. Modest google scholar results. No search results outside of academia. None of the 'keep' arguments offer anything except 'FRCP' but this does not constitute a highly prestigious honour. People who claim that it does should read the RCP page which reads as an application for membership in a club requiring annual fees. Also, 'Candidates will need to […] pay an admission fee in order to accept our award of fellowship.' I am surprised to see it compared to the examples mentioned in ACADEMIC.

Comment The Royal College of Physicans in 2017 had
17,749 fellows (a majority of its membership). Add to the fact that any consultant with 3 years' seniority is automatically considered for the fellowship, the FRCP doesn't seem to be prestigious enough to justify the retention of the article.

Delete: Where is the
significant coverage? Consistency is important and I see a strong reason to !vote "Delete" or the need for an alternative that would be
prove it as a sourcing criteria for inclusion for
WP:BLP's. I have somewhat agreed to abide by the relaxed principles of sourcing regarding WP:NPROF and WP:ACADEMICS (primary over secondary and not necessarily independent) but FRCP or RCP fellowship alone as a criteria for meeting those is too thin. These !votes that appear to point to
I like it should reflect the better option of
WP:IGNORE, as two references and arguments the subject is a RCP fellow, or a member of FRCP, does not provide significant coverage to allow more than a career
pseudo biographical article on Wikipedia. The subjects notability regarding his "achievements in medical research" cannot be seen as "significant" without coverage. The criteria of sourcing to provide evidence of notability, especially on a BLP, is certainly more stringent
"than a simple name mention" (Medical collection listing from the article) or a
Google Scholar listing of his research (also from the article). A listing of a subjects research does not pass any criteria that others find the person notable as provided by sources. This becomes "there a list so he or she surely is notable". The present condition of article sourcing is not a determination for deletion but if the sources are so limited that others cannot find them then there is a reasonable expectation they don't exist. Since Wikipedia is not a
crystal ball we do provide for
WP:HEY circumstances (that include sources) that would allow the also reasonable expectation an article can be expanded. If this article is closed as "Keep" it should be considered it will be on the merit of actual votes (head count) and not the applicable !votes as supported by
policies and guidelines that certainly include the more stringent sourcing requirements for BLP's. A source can be acceptable for content yet not provide evidence of notability. Short of the above we possibly need to examine the criteria that of being a RCP fellow or a FRCP, possibly with a RFC, to try to have some consistency on reasoning if the two can replace or be an alternative to notability sourcing. The option of articles on 17,749 "fellows" with scarce to no actual sourcing seems a bit too relaxing and suggests we just forget the sourcing requirements and include everyone.

Weak Keep - While there is a dearth of online sourcing, he was the equivalent of mayor in a city of over 100,000. If this was in the U.S., that would normally be more than enough. The fact that there was a major celebration in rememberance of his death over 40 years later would indicate some lasting notability. The lack of sources might be due to him being mayor in the pre-internet era.
Onel5969TT me 20:03, 22 June 2019 (UTC)reply
Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody with access to archival referencing tools can do much better than this. A population of 100K is still not an instant notability freebie that overrides a dearth of actual sources — even in the US, a mayor who was this poorly sourced would still be deleted if nobody could actually show any new sources that could be added to fulfill the
WP:NEXIST criterion. Even for pre-internet people who don't Google well, the notability test still does not just presume that maybe better sources exist: we are allowed to cite offline print sources, but the existence of offline sourcing still has to be shown and not just speculated about. Of the three footnotes here, however, one is a Facebook post, one is a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article about something else entirely, and the only one that's about him to any non-trivial degree is a mere blurb, and that's not enough. If people could show better sources, then I'd be happy to reconsider this — but that's a matter of showing them, not just guessing at the possibility.
Bearcat (

Update. Two new sources have been added since I first commented here — but one of them is just a very brief glancing namecheck of his existence in the context of having had a park named after him, not a source about him, and the other is a mere photograph. So neither of them is making an ounce of difference.

Delete. People are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they lobbied for the creation of a statue. Literally nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to guarantee him a Wikipedia article just because he exists, but the referencing is a mix of unreliable sources (Blogspot, etc.) and glancing namechecks of his existence in news articles that aren't about him, so none of the sources get him over
WP:GNG either. If "no one published this story", that in and of itself is precisely why it is not our job to publish this story either: our job is not to help you create the web presence of a person who didn't get any media coverage, it's to keep articles about people who got media coverage and not keep articles about people who didn't.

WP:BLP of a local-market television journalist, not

As always, journalists are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they're technically verifiable as existing -- but the only references here are her staff profile on the self-published website of her own station and a press release from the larger company that owns it, not independent coverage of her in unaffiliated sources, and the article says nothing about her (e.g. winning a major national journalism award) that would make her "inherently" notable enough to get exempted from having to clear

Tension loop: As I said during an
RM discussion a year ago, I looked for sources that discuss this rhetorical device and was basically unable to find any mention of it by the name "open loop" (although the term makes sense). I did find some sources that called it a "tension loop". The editor who commented above added two sources to the article about an hour ago, but I reverted the addition. One of those sources cited Wikipedia as its source and the other one quoted Wikipedia's definition of the term word-for-word (and both were written after the Wikipedia article was). I somewhat wonder whether the term "open loop" even existed with this meaning before August 2011 when the definition was put onto Wikipedia without citing a source. The article contains nothing but a brief definition of the alleged term. Such a rhetorical device certainly does exist and is frequently used, but this is not the primary name for it and we would need more than a definition to justify having an article about it. Perhaps there is a third term for it that we have not yet identified, and there might even be an article about that already. —

Keep A major Hollywood film based on his life was made, called City by the Sea and starring Robert DeNiro.

Coverage in the Los Angeles Times runs for 29 paragraphs and LaMarca, not the movie, is the main focus of that article.

The “Northey Brothers” are the subject of a single story from an 1891 volume of ghost stories.

To support a Wikipedia biography written in the correct way, there has to be people who have actually researched and published documentation of this person's life and works. The fact that the article at hand sources all other information about the subject, apart from court cases and an appointment, to the subject's own autobiography on LinkedIn and Twitter, is telling. Searching, I find no
independent sources documenting this person's life and work in depth, merely lots of other autobiographies. It is not possible to write a Wikipedia biography of this person in compliance with Wikipedia's content policies. The Primary Notability Criterion is not satisfied, for lack of multiple, or indeed any, independent in-depth good sources.

The result was no consensus. With respect to the keep vs. delete argument, there is only one detailed keep argument and most of the delete argument appears to be for redundancy reasons. With respect to the merge argument (which owing to the delete arguments has particular importance), it seems like some people consider it a poorly written spinoff article whose notability as a list would be questionable and others feel like it can be turned into a good list and that the main YouTube article is too long for a merge. I don't think any of the arguments here is notably more compelling than the others in terms of policy/guideline or headcount, so no consensus. A dedicated merger discussion may be well advised, though.

Well, from my lengthy searches today, it doesn't look like there's any coverage of a YouTube suspension unless the suspended account is already generally notable (or notorious). I haven't found any coverage of an account being suspended that didn't already have an article. If there's no independent coverage to provide as a reference, a suspension shouldn't be added to the article. I didn't add any brief-mention coverage, such as "popular channels X, Y, and Z were suspended" in "YouTube pulled monetization for anti-vax" articles.

No evidence of notability. I shall describe first the cited sources, and then what I found when I tried to find better sources.
The online references are very brief mentions, for that reason alone of no value for establishing notability, and they are also on niche web sites that don't seem to be significant sources. Here are descriptions of those sources:
http://www.atarihq.com/jeo/jeo_0204.htm is a very amateurish-looking magazine page, which amongst other things includes an interview with someone unrelated to Battle Girl. In one of the questions the interviewer asks the interviewee if he has ever played Battle Girl. The interviewee gives a brief answer, in which he says that he has "heard of" the game, and thinks "the screen shots looked cool".
http://www.insidemacgames.com/features/view.php?ID=379 is a forum-like list of readers' questions and answers to them. One three-sentence question is about Battle Girl, and there is a two-sentence answer to it. Essentially what it amounts to is Question: "Is there going to be a version of Battle Girl to run on OS X?" Answer: "No."
http://www.insidemacgames.com/news/story.php?ArticleID=3150 is a few sentences announcing announcement of release of two games, one of them Battle Girl, together with a couple of short quotes from the promotional material of the company producing those games.
The one other reference is a review in a magazine called "Next Generation". Unfortunately it does not appear to be available online (not surprisingly for a magazine that has been defunct for 17 years) nor can I find any other source anywhere that verifies that the quote given as coming from that magazine did appear in it. However, whatever it says, one review in a not particularly prominent magazine does not go very far towards establishing notability.
When I searched for sources I found download sites, software listing sites, a mention in a gaming forum, an amateur site which appears to provide nothing except screenshots of games (certainly that is all it provides for Battle Girl), this Wikipedia article, and so on. I didn't manage to find anything at all better than the cited sources.
Conclusion:There is no evidence that there is "significant coverage" in "multiple sources" (both quotes from
Wikipedia:Notability).

Keep Nothing can be found in online searches about this one, and the nominator's assesment of the current sources is spot on. However, there seems to be some print reviews of the game that are more than a passing mention in reliable sources like
Next Generation (magazine)[1],
MacWorld[2] and
MacAddict[3]. Checking the Moby reviews, Hot Games seems to be a straight unreliable, and there are "MacLedge" and "MacHome" reviews offered at

I can sort of sympathize with the nominator considering almost all coverage comes from very specific platform oriented websites or magazines (and the game also released on Windows, so it's not exactly a Mac exclusive which would give it some significance).

Comments: I am not sure where medical publishing ties in with WP:PROF? I have been looking for material and sources that might provide evidence of
notability to create more than a
pseudo biography. The subject is a pediatrician of infectious diseases, certified by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), and is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FAAP) so does have a leg up on some of the 28,374 other pediatricians in the United States. She is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) "Section of Infectious Disease" {SOID} member. As a committee member of the AAP she does publish papers but I am looking for something to qualify for WP:NAUTHOR. I will look at this more later.

Journal citation counts are the primary way that academics (physician or not) meet
WP:PROF#C1. FAAP just indicates a member of the AAP who is board certified, so that’s really not relevant to our notability standards. Some academics or physicians meet WP:AUTHOR, but WP:PROF is more typical.
Larry Hockett (

Some of this was just stuff I found. The connection to the AAP is that she has published works (through SOID) as a specialist in her field. I added some links to the references but So far there is a lack of evidence to provide a significant impact in their scholarly discipline to "get her over the bar for WP:PROF#C1 or C2". The different uses of her name, per the title, as Flor Munoz, and FM Muñoz should be covered.

The result was no consensus. Based on my reading of this discussion, the key arguments in favour of deletion are that a) she is not notable b) the article is a BLP violation and c) BLP1E. Regarding the first point, most of the delete arguments are just assertions and Saff V. and Mhhossein's sources have been largely uncontested except for Icewhiz's point which reads like a partial rebuttal. For the BLP vio claim, it's largely vague and it's not clear that it couldn't be resolved through editing rather than deletion. Finally, regarding the BLP1E point, it's again Mhhossein's and Icewhiz's points which are the most detailed, but it's not entirely clear whether one side is clearly more compelling than the other. Perhaps this leans more to a keep than a delete, but I'll play it safe and deem this a "no consensus".

Ignoring unreliable sources for a BLP, what we have in terms of reliable coverage is a few media reports (of the spat between our subject and her father and mother who are trying to get her out of the camp) - from November 2018 through February 2019.

WP:BLP1E does not apply here since, now, there's no single event making here notable. She's already a member so there's an ongoing story probably making her subject of more works in future. --

Keep Chessmetrics is referred to by the NYT as "widely respected"
[8]; it also features frequently at
chessbase.com (though contributions there seem to be written by the creator of the system and could very well not be acceptable for establishing notability under the criteria); it is also sometimes mentioned at
The Week in Chess, which seems to be independent. However, what seals the deal here is the presence of WP:RS which discuss the system; maybe they do not describe it to excruciating detail, but being referred to in 3 WP:RS (including at least one which deals exclusively with it) which provide commentary about the article topic seems enough evidence for me to conclude that the topic passes GNG, even if it seems to be highly specific to a certain field.

I assumed that the link the criticism by GM Nunn (see article) was about Chessmetrics; on looking at it seems that it isn't even mentioned directly so I have gone ahead and added a {{Failed verification}} template because of the statement that "First, Nunn discusses various methods for trying to make assessments of the relative strengths of the players." - you could reasonably construe that it would include Chessmetrics, but we'd need to take a look at the book to be sure, and WP:AGF means I don't see why it should be removed if there is at least indirect evidence it is discussed. In any case, the way it is described in the NYT and the fact it is discussed and criticised (if even summarily) in papers still seem like enough weight to conclude that the topic is notable, per
WP:NRV which states "the evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, [...] Sources of evidence include recognized peer-reviewed publications [i.e. the 2 papers], credible and authoritative books [i.e. Nunn is an authoritative source on chess], reputable media sources [NYT], and other reliable sources generally. [emphasis mine]" A direct quote from one of the (independent) papers cited in the article describes Chessmetrics as "the most complete and resounding attempt [to compare chess players]" and declares that the author (Sonas) "has become a leading authority in the field of statistical analysis in chess" - which might or might not be sufficient to meet criteria that the author is a
subject matter expert as given by
WP:SPS (though the author's publication are probably not acceptable for WP:N purposes in any case, even if they could be acceptable sources for article content).

Delete I can’t find anything to indicate the division was ever established, and only this article and mirrors of it to indicate that it was ever proposed. There may be sources in other languages but for an official administrative division on this scale in India I would expect English sources to exist.

CommentMahasamund references this article in the lead paragraph, with no source. It was originally added in

The result was redirect to
New Brunswick, New Jersey. The sole keep arguments here don't quite work - all arguments on
Talk:List of tallest buildings in New Brunswick, New Jersey#Requested move 22 May 2017 are about the page title. As for CSC/SAL it's pointed out in
Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Common selection criteria "Before creating a stand-alone list consider carefully whether such lists would be better placed within a parent article. (Note that this criterion is never used for living people.)" and it seems like most people here don't see a reason to keep a separate list - plus that guideline is more about inclusion criteria in lists than on the question of whether a list should exist in the first place. The
WP:NLIST point has not been rebutted either. I am going by a redirect here as there seems to be some disagreement on whether some content could be kept in the target article, thus leaving the option open to copy content over.

A list of mostly non-notable buildings. Even those with links are mostly redirects to other pages. As per
WP:LISTN, even if the members are not notable, the list may be notable if discussed as a group by independent reliable sources, this is not the case here. Also, these building are not very tall. The tallest is 299ft which according to our article on
Skyscrapers is far short of the 492ft that would result in that classification.

Delete "Tallest buildings in city" requires some form of independent coverage, otherwise it appears to be, prima facie, trivia. "Tallest buildings (all under 100 m) in (city with less than 60000 inhabitants)" is, without a shadow of a doubt, and the likelihood that there are sources discussing such a group seems unlikely, the only I could find is
this, and it is not "discussing the group" but rather appears to be merely some form of database (edit: and WP:UGC at it, per below, so not even an adequate source), which falls under
WP:NOTDIR, thus fails to meet
WP:LISTN.

Best I can tell, that website (emporis.com) is
WP:UGC and shouldn't be used at all.--

Merge into New Brunswick page per
discussion with regards to Fort Lee if felt needed/desired, but do not keep as an independent article per above. Especially if Emporis.com turns out to be
WP:UGC (I just thought it was inappropriate since it was an indiscriminate collection of information.) –

Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example,
List of Dilbert characters or
List of paracetamol brand names. Such lists are almost always better placed within the context of an article on their "parent" topic. Before creating a stand-alone list consider carefully whether such lists would be better placed within a parent article. (Note that this criterion is never used for living people.)
Short, complete lists of every item that is verifiably a member of the group. These should only be created if a complete list is reasonably short (less than 32
K) and could be useful (e.g., for navigation) or interesting to readers. The inclusion of items must be supported by reliable sources. For example, if reliable sources indicate that a complete list would include the names of ten notable businesses and two non-notable businesses, then you are not required to omit the two non-notable businesses. However, if a complete list would include hundreds or thousands of entries, then you should use the notability standard to provide focus to the list.
Also, the article on skyscrapers mentioned in the nomination is not of importance here as that has nothing to do with it.

What does a requested move have to do with consensus to keep (hint: nothing)? Also,
WP:INTERESTING/
WP:USEFUL are non-arguments (I could very easily make the opposite claims), and the criteria of
WP:LISTN that "Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables" still stands: unless there is a
WP:RSdiscussing (i.e. that word is important, a mere listing of the buildings without commentary is not sufficient) the grouping, then there is no sufficient coverage to warrant an article.

That consensus doesn't apply in this case - the subject question of the requested move was whether to move to article to a different title; which is a different question than whether to delete it - please look at
WP:DELAFD (and pages linked from there) which is the relevant guide for deletion discussions such as this one; it takes precedence per
WP:LOCALCONSENSUS since it is project-wide policy. Or in more simple nearly mathematical terms: RM ≠ AfD and AfD >> RM (in this situation).

Yes, an article's history and the consensus at
Talk:List of tallest buildings in New Brunswick, New Jersey#Requested move 22 May 2017 is relevant to this discussion since it clearly establishes that a number of editors (more so far than in this discussion) had considered the matter & through their contributions established a consensus to keep it at that time. Shall we ask them?
Djflem (
talk) 22:16, 22 June 2019 (UTC)reply
There was not consensus to keep. The question being asked was not whether the article should be deleted, but what name should it have? Completely different question, but even if there had been a previous deletion discussion (which clearly is not the case),
consensus can change.--

Duh! What absurdity! Clearly there is a consensus to keep an article if editors have a discussion about the name of the page and decide to re-name it. They decided to keep the page named List of tallest buildings in New Brunswick, New Jersey instead of List of tallest buildings in New Brunswick, didn't they?
Djflem (
talk) 06:48, 23 June 2019 (UTC)reply
Yes, I would agree. So shall we asked those who participated in the earlier discussion about a name change if by their edits they indicated that the article is/was one that they believe should be kept? Yes or no?
Djflem (

Comments like "Duh! What absurdity!" might indicate a need for you to see
WP:CIVIL. You have already been told many times that that discussion has no bearing here, and that even if it had, consensus can change. As for asking those who participated there, that might constitute
WP:CANVASSING - they are certainly aware of the deletion process (thanks to the notice on the page) and participation is a choice they can make themselves.

Thanks for sharing your opinion about what has bearing and who is certainly aware of the AfD process. Would seem
WP:APPNOTE appropriate notification would be in order, just to be sure, since, of course, consensus can change and the AfD process benefits from participation?

Delete Not a single one of these buildings even reaches 300 feet and few are notable. I'd say to merge to
List of tallest buildings in New Jersey but none even meet its inclusion requirement! This is quite excessive to list these as tall buildings, this is not necessary for every place with a handful of moderately sized office buildings. The few tallest could be merged to New Brunswick article.

Delete (pinged above). Frankly, the RM participants focused so much on the aspects of titling and disambiguation that no one at the time bothered to look at notability of the article. Now that I looked, I agree with the first poster above that it fails LISTN: it's a list of not-very-tall buildings in a not-very-big city, and no RS coverage of them as a group exists to justify existance of this list.

The list contains three notable buildings for which there are independent articles and two for which there are redirects where they are discussed:
The Vue,
New Brunswick Performing Arts Center,
Johnson and Johnson Plaza,
Skyline Tower and
The Yard. There is no requirement for lists of tallest buildings that they be skyscapers or be located in a major city.
Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists-
Wikipedia:CSC outlines the policy. Additionally there is coverage discussing the phenomenon of such a city as New Brunswick being redeveloped with taller buildings mentioned in following:
"New Brunswick, NJ Is America's "5th-Most Exciting Small City'. Why?". walkableprinceton.com. January 5, 2014. Retrieved 2014-03-21. The height of the new buildings in New Brunswick (up to 23 levels in the newest luxury tower) would clearly be out-of-scale for Princeton, but for a city like New Brunswick, they offer a way to capture value from desirable locations close to university facilities, downtown amenities and a direct rail connection to New York.
