Delete. Once again, what we have here is not a mayor who's properly sourced as notable, but classic Billy Hathorn: the local obituary that isn't an instant GNG pass all by itself in the absence of any other substantive sourcing the way Billy always thought it was, paired with a mix of primary sourcing and tangential verification of stray facts about the subject's relatives. As usual, this is not how you reference a mayor as notable enough for a Wikipedia article, regardless of the size of the city in question. Bearcat ( talk) 19:25, 22 March 2019 (UTC) reply
Delete This is a city that has never passed the 15,000 mark, yet Hatorn wanted us to accept all its mayors as default notable. I have created my fair share of articles on mayors, from Mrs. Kaufusi of Provo to Jim Fouts of Warren, but both cities are well over 100,000 people, have large vibrant economies. Provo is the center of a metro area with over 300,000 people, and Kaufusi has gotten coverage as the first female mayor in the city, even more so because of the police chief being ousted for sexual harrassment of employees. While Warren is always in the shadow of its larger southern neighbor Detroit, Fouts has been a leading political figure in that city for decades, and his clash with the king, I mean executive, of Macomb County and the claimed recording the executive has produced have gotten national attention.

Delete. Mayors are not handed an automatic notability freebie just because the place they were mayor of eventually surpassed an arbitrary population cutoff — the notability test for mayors is the ability to reliably source that they've been the subject of enough media coverage to clear WP:NPOL #2. The sources here are largely not helping, however: most of them are primary sources that do not support notability at all, such as government documents and raw tables of election results and genealogy records — and even the few that are reliable sources are mostly not about Dumas either, because except for his obituary in the local newspaper (which does not represent an instant free pass of GNG all by itself as the only valid source in play), the others are tangentially verifying stray facts about other people. Regardless of the size of the municipality he was mayor of, Billy Hathorn, this is still not how you source a mayor as notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat ( talk) 19:13, 22 March 2019 (UTC) reply
Weak keep. In my honest opinion, despite Bearcat's objections, U.S. mayors of places with 100,000 people or more ought to be inherently notable. — Mr. Guye ( talk) ( contribs) 05:41, 29 March 2019 (UTC) reply
Weak Delete While I don't entirely agree with Mr. Guye, I do believe that there is a fair chance that most mayors of cities with populations 100,000 generally receive enough coverage to pass GNG. I'm leaning towards deleting in this case due to the incredibly poor sourcing and I think its probably best that the a new article be created from scratch if someone does the research and comes up with reliable sources to prove GNG.

Comment: I'm not surprised this doesn't appear on Rotten Tomatoes - this was a one-off TV documentary made by a UK production company and shown on a UK TV station... I know Rotten Tomatoes reviews TV shows as well, but they tend to be American series. The production company is well known in the UK, as is the actor who did the voiceover, and it was shown on a major national TV station, so this has some clout behind it. But this was just a one-off documentary, and it didn't have any lasting notability... it's not a programme that people have been talking about since its transmission.

Aysha Naushad Khan

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article was perviously nominated here in 2014, with no consensus. Some T20I women's cricketers from minor cricketing countries don't qualify for inclusion under WP:CRIN, even after the ICC awarding all women's international sides T20I status. So why should this article be included? The matches Khan played were minor, carried no status, the coverage is routine, and the subject does not appear to have played cricket for nearly 3 years.

Keep I think she fails WP:NCRIC but just passes WP:GNG. This article is entirely about her, and I think the three paragraphs about her in this article might also count as significant coverage. The second article definitely addresses her directly. I'm not sure how in detail it needs to be to be considered significant, but for me it's got enough details. These are the only two articles I could find online that had more than a trivial mention of her (and they're also the two articles that were brought up in the previous AfD), so if either of these doesn't count as significant coverage then I'll change my vote to delete unless another source comes up.

Relisting comment: @ TripleRoryFan's comment regarding significancy of the subject's coverage needs to be evaluated further in terms of WP:SIGCOV.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tymon.r Do you have any questions? 22:10, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Comments on significant coverage: #1)- is just a note, #2)- "K.R. Nayar, Senior Reporter" = passing mention and is primarily about Dipanki Borcar, #3)- "Jai Prasad V. Rai, Sports Reporter": Bowled 'em over, coverage is GN Media publishing news reporting, "Gulf News Cricket", subtitled She's only 12, but the talented bowler has already caught the eye of coaches and the coaches are "her coaches" so the source, that includes interviews and opinions of her couches, is laced with positive advertising words, so has biased connotations over independent reporting, #4)- "Women's cricket could catch on in the UAE" = very passing mention: "while Aysha Naushadkhan, Petule Nadar & Humaira Tasneem chipped in with 1 wicket apiece.", #5)- CricNepal: Repeat of number 4, #6)- "UAE girls on song against Malaysia and Oman" = two instances of passing mention: "while Aysha Naushadkhan grabbed one to provide the finishing touch to victory.", and "Aysha Naushadkhan 1-7", #7)- "Humaira to lead U-19 team": Two passing mentions, "...and Aysha Naushadkhan (aged 13) is the youngest player in the squad." as well as a listing in the squad, "Aysha Naushadkhan", #8)- "NEPAL THRASHES UAE FOR CONSECUTIVE WIN": brief passing mention, "Thapa was caught by Kyna Vedhasinghe off Aysha Naushadkhan in the fifth ball of the sixth over", #9)- "ACC U-19 Women’s Championship 2010 - Results", Missed any mention of subject, #10)- Gulf News Cricket: "Sharjah honours top performers", Special awards include "Ayesha Naushad Khan" is passing mention, #11)- Gulf News Cricket: "UAE women’s cricket team win GCC championship" with the subtitle; "Subha bags best batswoman and Samiya wins best bowler of the tournament awards", missed any mention of the subject, #12)- dead link, #13)- "UAE women cricketers aim to strike hot at the GCC T20 tournament", missed any mention of subject, #14)- "UAE women beat Qatar to retain GCC T20 title", after Heena Hotchandani and Ayesha Naushad Khan bowled exceptional spells.. Same sentence mentioned twice and passing mention, #15)- "UAE women's cricket team win Gulf Cup": ...with Ayesh Naushad taking three wickets and Aysha Naushad (16) is Passing mention.

Conclusion: While there are references listed the sources are industry specific routine sports coverage that are mostly mundane, not specifically or primarily about the subject (passing mention), with only one coming close. Many sources are routine short-term interest sports coverage, mostly about the UAE team, that does not advance notability. Only the one source provides some actual biographical content that is advertising type and appears biased. As a WP:BLP this reflects more of a pseudo biography. Most sources that mention the subject uses the name as Aysha Naushadkhan.

These sources reflect that while there might be coverage, and they may be acceptable as a reference for article content, they can lack advancing notability. Otr500 ( talk) 09:26, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete: per my above comments. I also have concerns of a cricket player, failing WP:NCRIC but supposedly passing WP:GNG because of one source, centered specifically on the aspect of playing cricket, as advancing notability. There cannot be a double standard. If the subject is not notable as a cricket player then how in the world can she be otherwise considered notable to pass GNG? As an inquiring mind I would also wonder what happened after the 2015 season? If a considered sports reported "fame" of two seasons in not fleeting then what would constitute enduring notability? Did she quit to fall off the radar from 2016 to 2019 when it appears she turns 19. Otr500 ( talk) 09:56, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply
Comment Otr500, I wondered too why she just vanished off the radar. This could possibly be her, which might explain where she's been for the last few years. But your evaluation of the sources is spot on, just passing and routine. StickyWicket ( talk) 10:38, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply

When a list is made it is a good thing to try to create new articles. Sometimes the parent article is sufficient. When I considered a merge or redirect I saw the subject was not in the United Arab Emirates women's national cricket team, which is really about the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier. This subject at least has more substance and references than those listed in the squad on those two articles (duplicates) because I saw one team member shows a T20I debut date of 7 July 2018, and a last T20I of 14 July 2018. Maybe there is more out there but this article has a lot more than what appears to be a 7 day wonder, or even the rest of those squad members, and still to me just does not have notability for a stand alone article.

List of most-viewed and most-liked YouTube trailers

List is nothing more than popularity data that is subject to rapid changes and maintaining these lists is not what Wikipedia is about.

The creator of the article. Firstly WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, just because something exists doesn't mean something else should (in my opinion, those articles shouldn't exist either). Notability is not inherited. This article is different because it's a cross-categorisation of both Youtube and movie trailers. We're not a collection of every single statistic in the world. The references to the videos themselves require continual updating and the order of the list is not accurately established by these links therefore WP:SYNTH applies. Ajf773 ( talk) 05:40, 18 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Merge with List of most-viewed online videos in the first 24 hours. The other YouTube lists cover the key essentials: most-viewed, most-liked, and most-disliked. The other list is of the most-viewed online videos in the first 24 hours, which encompasses all online views, not just the ones from the YouTube platform. This one is different because it has an additional qualifier of the video needing to be a trailer. I like the information and think it has a place on Wikipedia, but just not on its own article. I think the information is much more suitable if it was located across the suggested merge to articles. Soulbust ( talk) 05:28, 15 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Katherine Porter

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not pass the general notability guideline as there is not significant, independent coverage. The references now in the article do not appear to be independent, and I was unable to find anything other than mentions in my search. Searching is confounded by the fact that this is a common name. In particular, hits for Katherine Anne Porter may create the illusion of notability but they are not the same individual. The article itself lacks substance. Arguably passes WP:ARTIST based on the inclusion of some works within several major collections but I believe that the GNG should govern. Uninvited Company 18:59, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Speedy Keep The subject definitely passes WP:ARTIST #4(d) "The person's work (or works) has: ... (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." This is easily verifiable by searching the collections of the museums listed in the article. The nominator appears to think that this is not enough, but Wikipedia:Notability states "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: (1) It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right," ie explicitly stating that it meets EITHER the WP:GNG OR WP:SNG. Someone whose works of art are in at least 6 major museums would probably also meet other criteria of WP:ARTIST, and perhaps also the WP:GNG, if one were to search newspapers, art journals, etc. Such sources could be added to the article, but as the article makes a clear, easily verified claim of notability, it should definitely be kept. RebeccaGreen ( talk) 07:22, 22 March 2019 (UTC) reply

North Carolina Museum of Art - "Five Tornadoes and Full Moon";

exhibited at:

Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art - "Instruments of Torture" (appears in Cornell Collects,

Rose Art Museum - "Katherine Porter: Paintings 1969‐1984" (Past Exhibitions: 1985),

Hudson River Museum - Six Painters (pages 42 to 47 of exhibition catalogue, lists lots more exhibitions that can be researched);

written about by John Russell in The New York Times ( "Art: Juicy Abstractions By Katherine Porter").

ps. searching is not "confounded by common name", just gsearch "Katherine Porter artist collections" then ditto "exhibitions". pps. i haven't bothered with all the galleries/museums listed in the article (another straight forward search either the gallery/museum own website or gsearch "(museum/gallery name) katherine porter") as i reckon the above is enough.

Keep per multiple reviews posted above (NY Times, ArtForum, etc.), holdings in multiple significant art museums, as well as entries in North American Women Artists of the Twentieth Century: A Biographical Dictionary, and Who's Who in American Art. These suggest enough published secondary sources exist, beyond the ones listed above, to make a neutral, encyclopedic article, even if short, and thus the assumption of WP:GNG is warranted (there are likely other print reviews that aren't instantly Googleable). While the article currently reads rather promotional and subjective, Articles for Deletion is not Articles for Improvement, and articles shouldn't be tagged for deletion merely because the current version is sub-optimal ( WP:ATD). Note: the artist's full name appears to be Katharine Pavlis Porter, as named in several editions of Who's Who in American Art, the cover of Noon Knives (2002), the 1963 Colorado College commencement program, and as suggested in the contact email at http://katherineporter.net/contact. Some websites and databases give the name "Katharine Page Porter", e.g. Skinner Auctions and even the Getty Union List of Artist Names. However, I beleive this is an error: the only credible art-related "Katharine Page Porter" appears to be a friend of Angna Enters who was an elementary art supervisor in Beverly Hills in the 1940s.

- Comment: @ MarkZusab:, with much respect, there appears to be more required to establish notability of a film than simply mentions in articles. Only two of those sources (LA Times and The Dissolve) are actual reviews written after the film's release, and they both shredded the film (not that a poor review affects notability, granted). The others, published before its release, are minor announcements about casting (e.g. Variety), regurgitated press releases (e.g. BroadwayWorld), a three-sentence synopsis (TimeOut Dubai) and so on. The majority of the articles suggested don't appear to constitute coverage except insofar as to say that the film exists. Then there's the apparent WP:COPYVIO.

WP:BLP of a musician, whose claims of notability per WP:NMUSIC are not properly referenced. The notability test for a musician isn't as much about what the article says as it is about how well the article references what it says, but the references here aren't cutting it at all: three of the six are the self-published websites of himself and a colleague, a fourth is a primary source profile on the website of a company with which he has a direct endorsement deal, a fifth is a routine directory entry, and the only source that's fully independent of him is on a freelance music writer's own self-published blog. None of these are reliable sources for the purposes of getting a musician over WP:GNG, and nothing claimed in the article body is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better sources than this. A musician doesn't automatically get an article on here just because it's possible to provide technical verification that he exists -- a musician gets an article on here when he's the subject of enough media coverage to clear GNG.

Keep If lack of sources is the problem more can be added. This artist has been regarded as an elite and successful harmonica player among many in the blues community with several charting records. I have written about blues music a lot and I thought he warranted inclusion. I have added several sources since your message. The band he worked with Erin Harpe & The Delta Swingers has an article which mentions him. He has also worked with several Grammy winners and nominees that also have articles. The link to Seydel just has a short bio which Is why I linked to it. Reviews mention his contribution ^[1].

Reply to the above - The article in Positively Naperville is about him and more than a smidgen. It's good coverage.

Karl Twist ( talk) 07:45, 16 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Performing in all these acts as a session musician does not prove notability, according to WP:MUSICBIO. That guideline requires being a primary member in at least two notable acts. Also, two featured articles is, in my mind, more proof that he doesn't pass GNG than that he does. A redirect to his primary band would be the best choice until more coverage appears.

~~Keep~~ (strikeout second BluesmanRobert38 !vote) Prozialeck is talked about heavily in this article in Blues Blast Magazine a very respected source on the blues scene here http://www.bluesblastmagazine.com/issue-12-5-february-1-2018/ He is Notable enough to receive this recognition. There is more than enough sources to consider him "Notable". He also has appeared as the primary soloist on two nationally charting albums. He has performed with grammy nominees Charlie Musselwhite, Luther Dickinson, and Matthew Stubbs He is also appearing on two more releases for Karma Chief Records with GA-20 this year. And he was nominated for a Boston Music Award in the Delta Swingers last year. I do not think there is any question he is notable especially since everyone else mentioned here has their own page on this site.

Comment. I can't find any solid RS on this BLP from a proper source outside of minor online sites (of which he is rarely the principal subject). I definately can't find WP:SIGCOV which I think is important for a BLP – there is no material article on this subject (and where he is the subject) from a full WP:RS? I am struggling to see the basis on which this BLP can avoid deletion? It would help if the Keeps could present an RS that would be SIGCOV on him, but none have been presented so far. Otherwise we fall into the unsustainable situation where his WP BLP is the main source of his notability (it is meant to be the other way around).

Peter Parker (Spider-Man film series)

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a WP:CFORK of Spider-Man. A merge is not really required for this one. This does not meet WP:SPINOFF. The franchise the character is associated to is a comic book adaption rather than original creation. Though a popular character, there are many adaptions of Spider-Man/Peter Parker, and they don't really have any notable depth. WP:UNDUEWEIGHT should be considered in this case. Even the franchise (trilogy) itself is merged into Spider-Man in film. Therefore, this might also be considered a FORK of Spider-Man in film, since Spider-Man and Peter Parker are alter egos and the protagonists of the plot. Furthermore, there are no stand alone pages of the character Peter Parker himself (redirects to Spider-Man). THE NEW ImmortalWizard (chat) 17:49, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Keep. There is sufficient coverage of this character as a standalone adaptation, which a development history, character arc, and characteristics distinct from other versions. I would note that we had a similar discussion regarding, e.g., Tony Stark (Marvel Cinematic Universe), which resulted in a consensus for keeping the standalone article on the character. bd2412 T 19:09, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

However, the article under discussion is about a fictional character, as portrayed by a specific actor, in three specific films, and not in any other films or in the comic books or anywhere else for that matter. That is much different than an article about a fictional character. - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man. The traditional male pronouns are fine.) 05:48, 23 March 2019 (UTC) reply

It is for an independently notable specific iteration of the character. It has its own fully encapsulated storyline unique to the series. Therefore, it stands as its own article. bd2412 T 13:03, 23 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Storyline and characteristic uniquenesses doesn't mean it requires a standalone. Look at Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). This has a mixture of issues and requires more than just a cleanup in terms of its existence. A good example I give is Frodo Baggins. It has a lot of differences between the book and the movie. However, the movie character did not get there own page. The same could be told about Batman in the Dark Knight Trilogy, let alone Bruce Wayne. The fictional notability guideline. THE NEW ImmortalWizard (chat) 13:49, 23 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Irrespective of whether it "requires" a standalone, one has been written, and contains reliable sources specifically addressed to this topic. It meets the WP:GNG, so I see no conflict there. As for Batman, well WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST, example 4. bd2412 T 15:45, 23 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Such a hypocrisy since you were the one who brought up Iron Man. Anyways, can you link me the consensus? Plus you must know that just because a topic has reliable sources, doesn't mean it is notable. This also brings to my another argument, the topic is ambiguous. It has a mixture of content which are FORKed from multiple pages.

Please try to keep it civil. I brought up Tony Stark because it is clearly directly relevant. The discussion on the MCU character articles is at Talk:Marvel Cinematic Universe#MCU character articles. If you are a glutton for punishment, you could try to have that article deleted, although it is highly popular, getting well over half a million visits since its creation.

Keep and reiterating what I said here, "I support a standalone article for Peter Parker as portrayed in Raimi's films, though I think there could be a better article title since this can seem like it includes post-Raimi incarnations. When it comes to writing this kind of content in various scopes, there will always be some kind of redundancy. This kind of scope allows for a focus on character-centric content, putting aside production and reception details that are not directly pertinent to the character. Doing a search engine test, it appears that the book Make Ours Marvel: Media Convergence and a Comics Universe has a chapter called "Playing Peter Parker" that is devoted to Peter Parker in films (though not just Maguire)."

I am leaning on keep. I feel that many characters are indeed notable on their own.

Comment. Some editors are claiming that I don't have any clear arguments and the proposal is based on personal preference. That is pure ignorance and hence I feel the need to extend my comments. Whenever, I nominate for AFD, I don't usually touch on the content, instead focus on the notability of the topic itself. However, this case is really complicated and difficult. The title is "Peter Parker (Spider-Man film series)," that means it is about the fictional character Peter Parker in the Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. Pretty straightforward. Unfortunately, the content is far more mixed and ambiguous. First of all, I would like to disclaim that I am a huge fan of these Spider-Man films, so that takes away any of the presumption that I dislike the article as a whole. Back to the content, what really is the article focused on? It obviously need a lot of clean up and may not be encyclopedia, but that is not at all my argument for deletion. Let's go section-by-section. The lead seems fine to me, and it is supposed to summarize the whole article, which means I can ignore that for now. Then we come to creation and concept; it start off well by describing the creative initiatives of Parker, only to shift attention towards the actor Toby Maguire, training about his casting, training, future contracts and what not. Then it focuses on Spider-Man, Parker's alter ego; the rest half of the section focuses on the development of the costume of Spider-Man, which is not really about Peter Parker. Then we move to Themes and analysis. It appropriately touches on the characteristics of Peter Parker and character plot, which is absolutely. Then it talks about Raimi's influence, which is fine to. However, then it goes back to Maguire and the films planning and production itself. These could easily be merged to the correct articles. Then, the rest of the article is utterly unnecessary and could easily be removed IMO. You have one entire paragraph devoted to the "Enemies" of Spider-Man, the alter ego of Peter Parker in the fictional world, it is of six paras. Then you have "Fans and Critics", not about the character Peter Parker, but about Maguire's performances and his achievements. This also talks about other Spider Man films and their comparisons, exclusively on the actors' role on Spider-Man, not even Parker. Then you have "Other adaptations", which has little to no connection with Peter Parker or even the trilogy itself (for little I mean not notable). At least, the best adaptions I find being mentioned are that of the films, not the character Parker. Furthermore, there is a so-called consensus reached at Talk:Marvel Cinematic Universe#MCU character articles, which is a whole separated argument. That "consensus" does not work for a number of reasons which I don't want to bring up too much here. TL;DR: the topic of the article is unambiguous and it is an unacceptable content fork of various other topics, Spider-Man, Spider-Man in film, all three of the films themselves, Tobey Macguire and probably others I missed. Cheers. THE NEW ImmortalWizard (chat) 16:36, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply
- How can something be a "content fork" if it combines content from multiple articles? Wikipedia:Content forking says, "as an article grows, editors often create summary-style spin-offs or new, linked articles for related material. This is acceptable, and often encouraged, as a way of making articles clearer and easier to manage". Consider the typical Wikipedia reader who is not, like you, "a huge fan of these Spider-Man films". Maybe they know nothing at all of the comic book history, or of any other film versions of the character. If they are interested in learning about the character of Peter Parker as portrayed in the Sam Raimi film series, they should have a single article to read where all that information is in one place. This includes the detail of how the character's costume was designed, and how fans responded to the actor's performance, since the performance becomes inseparable from the perception of the character. bd2412 T 16:57, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply
  - ( edit conflict) I anticipated the response. As I've explained, this article fails to have a reasonable topic judging from its content. For the title itself, there isn't much of a detail to have a spin off article. Yes, it is okay, to content fork from different articles into one, as long as the topic is concrete, well-established and notable enough. Notability doesn't always depend on the interest of readers, and this article is certainly not convenient enough. THE NEW ImmortalWizard (chat) 16:59, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply
    - I have a possible compromise to suggest. In this case I think a reasonable alternative may be to move this to Spider-Man (Sam Raimi film series), and expand it into an article on the trilogy of films as a whole, of which the character of Peter Parker is a primary component. bd2412 T 17:01, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply
      - That might work, and could potentially be a proper content forking from Spider-Man in film and the films themselves. I am not really sure if this kind of conclusions occur in AFD though. That needs a separate discussion. Now that I think of it, spin off of Raimi series seems reasonable since Spider-Man is increasing in films. I checked Wikipedia:WikiProject Media franchises, but they can only recommend to Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). Nonetheless, at the moment that would be a better option. THE NEW ImmortalWizard (chat) 17:12, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply
        If this discussion closes without a consensus (it seems to be headed in that direction), then I will file a request to move this article to Spider-Man (Sam Raimi film series) under this rationale. bd2412 T 17:34, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply
        
        Very well. Just make sure it doesn't become a fan page under the pretence of having reader's interests. Also make sure it's weighed properly, one of the growing concerns regarding encyclopedic content. THE NEW ImmortalWizard (chat) 17:46, 24 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Relist following a no-consensus closure, because the original discussion ended as a debate exclusively between me as nominator and the person who approved it at AFC, with virtually nobody else weighing in at all one way or the other.
The problem here remains that this doesn't have a strong claim to passing WP:NFILM (it won craft awards at minor film festivals, not major awards for the purposes of NFILM #3), and the sourcing isn't solid enough to get it over WP:GNG in lieu: the referencing is 8/9 to primary sources, university student media and Q&A interviews in which the filmmakers are speaking about themselves, and even the interviews are entirely on non-notable blogs with the exception of one from the local morning show of a television station in their own hometown. The only source here that actually gets them off the starting blocks is #8, the Montreal Gazette -- but that's still their hometown newspaper, not evidence of expanding coverage, and even if you dismiss that problem it still takes more than just one GNG-worthy source for a topic to pass GNG.
The other keep rationale given in the first discussion was that this isn't just a film, but a multimedia project with musical and graphic novel components too -- but nothing stated in the article passes WP:AUTHOR or WP:NMUSIC either, so that's still not a notability freebie that would exempt it from having to have much more reliable source coverage than this. Bearcat ( talk) 16:24, 6 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Keep no prejudice to a future nomination does not imply 24 hours after the end of a three week listing. I haven't changed my mind about the long sections of prose in the articles that are being unfairly dismissed as just Q&A so this comment still applies: clearly passes WP:GNG with a substantial piece in the Montreal Gazette which is most certainly not a local hometown newspaper but a major regional source and a national reliable source. Reference one has three paragraphs of prose before the interview, which is admissable as coverage as articles including interviews are not summarily dismissed on that basis if they have valid extra content apart from the interview. Reference four from The Concordian has seven paragraphs in prose about the project before and mixed in with the interview and is clearly substantial coverage, university newspapers are generally reliable sources especially as they do not have the commercial pressure applied to them. Reference nine has six paragraphs of prose directly about the project before the interview section and is clearly substantial coverage. The Montreal Gazette piece documents the two main awards that the films have won so the awards are being reported on in reliable sources and are therefore notable awards according to the nominators rationale. Also it is not just a three film project it also included an album and written work, and I don't see anything advert like in the tone. The article was more or less abandoned till I published it and the project lost all momentum after the premature death of one of the brothers who created the project so there has been no publicity drive. In conclusion the article passes WP:GNG and deserves to be included, thanks Atlantic306 ( talk) 17:12, 6 March 2019 (UTC) reply

As I already explained the first time, and was correct about, the question of whether coverage is "local" or "national" for the purposes of getting a person over WP:GNG is not a question of the publication's distribution range, it is a question of the physical distance between the publication's office and the article topic's house. Even The New York Times regularly covers people in contexts of purely local interest that don't make those people nationally notable just because they got a piece of local-interest coverage in The New York Times — we look at the context of what the publication is covering the person for, and the publication's distribution range does not automatically make them more special than they would be if they lived in a smaller city, but otherwise got the exact same article written about them in the exact same context in that smaller city's less famous local newspaper instead.

Student newspapers, similarly, are not notability-making sources on the grounds that they "do not have the commercial pressure applied to them"; they are non-notability-making sources on the grounds that they do not serve a general interest audience. If student newspapers could singlehandedly make people notable, we would have to keep an article about everybody who was ever president of a campus religious or political club. So a student newspaper can be used as supplementary verification of stray facts after notability has already been covered off by stronger sources, but are not GNG builders in and of themselves.

Q&A interviews can also be used as supplementary referencing for stray facts after notability has already been covered off by stronger sources, but do not count toward the initial matter of making a person notable if they are the best sources on offer. You've also failed to address my point that almost all of the Q&A interviews here are from blogs, and the only one that is actually from a real established media outlet is from a local television station in, again, the subjects' home town.

My nomination statement addressed the reason why "this also included an album and written work" is not a notability claim: nothing stated in the article gets the project over WP:AUTHOR or WP:NMUSIC either. And the question of whether a film award is notable enough to get it over WP:NFILM, again, is not just a question of "any award that leads the subject's local hometown paper to write a human interest piece about them because of it" — it is a question of awards that consistently generate coverage in a broad range of sources not limited to the subject's own hometown: the Oscars, the Canadian Screen Awards, the BAFTAs, and the top tier of internationally famous film festivals (TIFF, Berlin, Cannes, Sundance). It does not automatically cover off just every minor film festival that gives out any awards at all.

In other words, all you've done here is repeat the exact same keep rationale as the first time, while completely failing to respond to anything I said about why it wasn't a solid one. Bearcat ( talk) 21:52, 6 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Comment looking at the references The Montreal Gazette, Montreal Morning Television are regional media not local, Beautiful Bizarre Magazine is a quarterly arts publication in print as well as online with a world circulation of two million, The Concordian is a university newspaper, My Modern Met has a professional staff shown here, Earmilk does not seem to be a blog, MyMysticSons is not much good as it seems to be a pr company but overall there are enough reliable sources to pass WP:GNG. Also a number of the articles have lengthy prose sections as well as interviews including the writer's reviews of the film so they are in part secondary sources and GNG is clear that excerpts such as six paragraphs in one of these cases are acceptable and the entire article does not have to qualify, in fact the topic of the article can be about something else, thanks Atlantic306 ( talk) 22:58, 19 March 2019 (UTC) reply

As I already pointed out above several times, the question of whether coverage is "local" or "regional" or "national", for the purposes of getting a topic over GNG in lieu of having to pass an SNG, is not a question of the publication's distribution range. If a person lives in Montreal, then coverage coming from Montreal is local coverage regardless of whether the outlet has wider distribution or not. A person who owns a restaurant in the Plateau is not instantly getting over GNG just because a food critic reviewed him in the Gazette, for example — the context of what it's covering the restaurateur for is still of local, not nationalized interest, so the fact that the Gazette has a wider than just local readership does not render that food review into "more than local" coverage for the purposes of GNG. The question of whether coverage is "local" or "national", for the purposes of getting a topic over GNG, does not attach to where the paper gets read — it attaches to the context of what the paper is covering the person for.

And university newspapers do not help get a topic over GNG — if they haven't already gotten over GNG on much stronger sources before the university newspaper even comes up, then the university newspaper does not help. As I already stated, if university newspapers counted toward GNG, we would have to keep an article about everybody who was ever president of a student club.

And the difference between a blog and a reliable source media outlet hinges on significantly more than just whether it has named staff or not. The problem with the Earmilk source is that it's a short and unsubstantive blurb, and has nothing to do with whether Earmilk is a blog or not. And on and so forth.

Ontario Association of Art Galleries

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article on an association that represents art galleries in Ontario Canada. They represent lots of notable galleries, but we know that notability is not inherited. They do give out an award that is sometimes reported on, but an industry award given by the article subject seems only weakly notable. The sourcing in the article is poor and mostly primary. I'm unable to find significant independent reliabale sources that would allow me to easily establish notability. The article seems to be a promotional vehicle and listing of the non-profit and its members (you can't fault them for it) more than anything. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 06:21, 7 March 2019 (UTC) reply

It's hard to find external coverage of organisations of this kind, but that doesn't demonstrate that its not notable. The article actually consists mostly of a useful list of art galleries, and I'd like it kept to preserve that. There is regular coverage of their awards and its publications are quite notable.

Delete. Mayors of small towns are not automatically deemed notable just because they exist, but this is referenced nowhere close to well enough to get him over WP:NPOL #2 as the subject of significant press coverage — and serving as a president or a board member of an organization is still not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts him from having to get over NPOL #2 on media coverage. To get him over the bar for those other reasons in lieu of his mayoralty itself, you still have to be able to source them to media coverage about his work in those roles, not just to his staff profiles on the organizations' own self-published websites about themselves.

Response. Thank you all for taking the time to look at my article and for your constructive input. While I don't know how to respond to the terms 'puff piece' and 'heaping pile', I can say that since this is my first article, I only ask for constructive help in improving my writing and sourcing skills though this article and any others I might write in the future. I've removed any text that may be construed as 'promo'. I've removed the reference and article text from the Toledo Blade article that I now see did not meet Wiki's criteria. Thank you for that. I tried to include articles from as wide array of sources and geographic areas as possible for this artist. In this case, London, England, Toledo, Ohio, and Sarasota, Florida. In my opinion, 4500 miles would not qualify as 'hyper local'. In fact, the review in 'PROG' magazine, a well respected and long established publication out of the UK, wasn't either a 'puff piece' or a 'heaping pile' - in fact, the article clearly states, in their opinion, that this guy's voice is 'weak' but with harmonies 'it works'. Thanks again for all your input. - Kkb1960 ( talk) 20:15, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

The only piece in here that could be considered decent coverage is this review. The rest are: a hyper local paper/blog and an interview so not independent coverage, a piece which makes not a single mention of the subject, not remotely a useful or valid source to establish notability, a student paper with a passing mention/listing, not even remotely about the subject, it's about his son, it's hyper local, an interview, press release. None of these do anything to support the article in any form, notability or otherwise. I'd also ask Kkb1960 what your affiliation to Berry given there's a fair amount of information in this article unsupported by sources. Praxidicae ( talk) 20:29, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Thong (footballer)

Disambiguation page created due to mistaken page moves which have since been reverted. Almost all Thai people have nicknames, and are referred to by them in informal contexts, in much the same way given names are used in English. But it is implausible, in most cases, that anyone would try to look up a person by nickname alone. We don't have a David (footballer) disambiguation page and expect David Beckham, David Platt (footballer) and others to be listed there. The same would apply here. G7 declined by RHaworth, so bringing to AfD. Paul_012 ( talk) 16:19, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Comment (as nom): I'm in agreement with Levivich in that while the name may or may not warrant a name-list WP:set index article, it does not warrant inclusion on the main disambiguation page, since readers will not be searching for the persons by this name alone. Merging into Thong (disambiguation) would be a gross violation of the WP:NAMELIST section of the WP:Disambiguation guideline, which states: "Articles on people should be listed at the disambiguation page for their first or last name only if they are reasonably well known by it." This is not the case for either subject here. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 16:45, 22 March 2019 (UTC) reply

  talk) 16:55, 22 March 2019 (UTC) reply
  - The guideline uses "reasonably well known", and gives the following example:
    We reasonably expect to see Abraham Lincoln at Lincoln (disambiguation), but very few sources would refer to the waltz composer Harry J. Lincoln by an unqualified "Lincoln", so he is only listed at the Lincoln (surname) anthroponymy article. This is even more widespread for first names—many highly notable people are called Herb, but typing in Herb gets you an article on plants. Herb (disambiguation) does not even list any people named "Herb", but instead links to Herb (surname) and Herb (given name), where articles on people named "Herb" are listed.
    No one would expect to find either footballer referred to by an unqualified "Thong". -- Paul_012 ( talk) 17:18, 22 March 2019 (UTC) reply
    - Abraham and Herb are common names that are covered by their respective name SIAs, so people named Abraham or Herb should not be individually listed at the disambiguation pages. Similarly, Thong Khon isn't and shouldn't be listed at Thong (disambiguation) because it's covered by Thong (surname). There isn't a nickname page for Thong, so it needs to be covered by the disambiguation itself. If it is only these two footballers who are known as Thong, then those footballers should be listed at the disambiguation. If it's a nickname for all people named Thongchai, then the disambiguation should link to Thongchai, where these footballers are listed. -- Tavix ^(

It was deemed important enough to receive coverage from International Sociological Association two years after its launch ( [16]). It may not be indexed in top indexes yet, for whatever reasons (perhaps being 'just' ~10 years old is not sufficient for those dinosaur-like entities?), but the point is it is already well established in its subfield (also, search on books/scholar/plain google reveals plenty of citations to it, as further proof it is actually part of many debates, and not some obscure 'no real impact' outlet - through not sure how objectively it relates to meeting NJ#2 without a proper citation index ranking).

Delete. OMICS is, of course, a spectacularly unreliable source. The mention in the book is just in-passing. The ISA coverage was written by a member of the editorial collective, hence not independent. Previous AfDs are irrelevant (I don't know why they don't pop up here, usually that is done automatically), but I note that they were both closed "no consensus" at a time when our criteria were interpreted in a much less stringent way. I don't see anything in GScholar that makes me change my mind either. 10 years is ample time to be included in at least some abstracting and indexing services, but this journal is not even in a single non-selective one. In short, this completely fails NJournals and GNG. -- Randykitty ( talk) 09:16, 7 March 2019 (UTC) reply

I value your view a lot, but in this particular way, speaking as a social movement scholar, I do think that for what is worth, my experience as a professional in this area leads me to repeat that NJ#1 is met. People in the field are aware of this journal, it has some impact. I am all for pruning journals that want to use Wiki as advertising, or otherwise are non-entities, but this is not a case here. PS. I've contacted the journal editor about why they are not indexed, and he sent me the following explanation: "It's not indexed because we're not a commercial journal (many indexes only consider journals published by specific commercial publishers; the others like the Directory of Open-Access Journals still have submission requirements which are too onerous in terms of time and administrative demands for a journal without paid staff)." --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Piotrus, two things here. 1/ I'm perfectly willing to believe you when you say that this journal has impact. However, the word of a WP editor is not enough, we need sources for that. 2/ The journal editor is completely wrong. I don't know of any index that does not include non-commercial journals. Of course, commercial publishers employ people who's job it is to fill out the applications to databases for their journals, so they know exactly what they are doing and I appreciate that this may be more difficult for a journal that doesn't have such staff available. The issue remains that whatever the reason for this, indexing doesn't provide any evidence for notability either. Basically, all we have is your personal evaluation and I'm afraid that that is not enough. -- Randykitty ( talk) 12:23, 8 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Randykitty Well, I know that editor's personal opinion has little weight on Wikipedia, but I'll note that I am a professional sociologist familiar with social movement studies field. Not I dispute that this is enough. And I also think it shouldn't be that difficult to get this journal indexed, and it should be a priority for getting better publications it (on personal level, I will NOT publish in that journal, because my career depends on publications in indexed outlets... doesn't matter that people in my field consider this publication reliable, my university administration doesn't care about it, so, shrug). But I disagree that there are no other sources. The book source I provided mentions the journal is seen in the field as comparable to indexed journals like Mobilization or SMS. And it's not like either of those has in-depth coverage of any sort, now, is it? They are notable because they are indexed. But being indexed is not everything, per NJ#1. As for the ISA coverage, yes, it is an academic type of press release, but it's not like ISA will advertise any journal. They do it for free, AFAIK, and they do it only for journals they consider notable. So it should not be disregarded just for 'being written by the editor', ISA newsletter won't accept such submissions from any editor, there is some selectivity in play here too. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Keep as I said earlier, borderline. The objections in previous afds were in large part that the publisher was OMICS, which has been listed as a predatory journal publisher. They've disputed that, and I think the status is that they're trying to get a viable model, and are not actually predatory. Their publishing model in fact seems somewhat appropriate for this sort of specialized academic/advocacy publication, which would not fit into a regular academic publisher's portfolio. The journal doesn't quite meet our usual standards, but the very nature of our standards is that they are only our usual, not invarible standards. There's a reasonable case here for keeping. It's an appropriate exception. (Innfact, I thinkfor all journals likely to be cited in WP, we should be inclusive if in any doubt -- the articles can be informative to our readers).

Unreferenced BLP, but no slanderous content. More of a WP:NBIO concern, really - the only things that stands out is that she was (presumably, this is not worded very clearly) part of the team that won a relatively major Australian journalistic award, the Walkley Awards. But this is unreferenced, the Walkey webste does not mention her name ( [17]), the award was to the "ABC Radio Newcastle Team" and as such WP:NOTINHERITED is an issue. Even AGF that she was part of the team, it is likely such a team is well over a dozen people, it's not like co-winning a Nobel Prize. I don't think even if verified that would be sufficient to make her notable.

Weak Keep – This is based totally on the number of locations, in excess of 1,000 separate locations. Typically any franchise or wholly owned corporation with this number of store locations is deemed notable (an example is a wholly company owed convenience store called Wawa, Pennsylvania here in the States.

On the other hand, I can understand the nomination here at AFD. There is no National or International independent news coverage. In additional there is virtually no local independent news attention. The only area of significant exposure of the company is through Trade magazine. For, many they will claim this is third party coverage. However, I take their articles with tongue in cheek in that if you spend enough advertising dollars with the magazine they will proclaim your company as the second coming.

The result was redirect to Austria–Russia relations. There appear to be consensus that a stand-alone article currently is not warranted and that most of the current content is SYNTH/OR.

Russian influence operations in Austria

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A contested PROD in 2010 by the article creator Gazpr. However, they also turned the page to a redirect to Austria–Russia relations, it seem an action of self blanking.

The prod reason was :

The article as written is classic WP:COATRACK material. It presents information on Gazprom business in Austria, and attempts to portray this as "Russian influence operations". There are other issues such as WP:SYN, WP:OR and the like which are still unresolved after a month, and given that there is also potential WP:BLP violating material in the article, it is best that this be deleted and if the article creator wants to start again, he should do so with WP:NPOV in mind.

While the nominator User:Russavia was blocked as sockmaster and other issues. No other significant editors for this article.

For the article itself, it seem OR. Matthew hk ( talk) 23:53, 13 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Question: Matthew hk, what exactly do you aim to achieve with this nomination? Deletion of the page history? Removal of the redirect? Or both?

Relisting comment: It would be easy to close this as delete right now, but I'm going to relist it, largely because User:Alpha3031 never got an answer to their question. I'm not seeing any solid policy-based arguments to delete this. On 13 March, this was a redirect. The nom removed the redirect, reverted the article back to a previous state (which apparently fails WP:SYNTH), and then immediately nominated it. Why not just leave it as the harmless redirect as a WP:ATD? The goal here seems to be a full history delete, for which we generally require stronger arguments than just plain WP:SYNTH.

Comment @ RoySmith: I note Alpha3031's question was not answered but does it matter? This material is almost a decade old and nobody touched it in the interim. Even by the creator's own admission (which I agree with), it is just too WP:SYN / WP:OR to be used in any substantative way. The individual references are now over a decade old and it is more likely an editor will find them in other ways, then uncover them in a Redirected version of this article? Either way, this is an AfD delete or Alpha3031's G7 delete? Am I missing something? thanks. Britishfinance ( talk) 14:10, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

I think I explained my reasons in my relist statement. But, what also bothers me is that people seem to be reading intent into the redirect which isn't obvious. You talk about, the creator's own admission [...] it is just too WP:SYN / WP:OR to be used in any substantative way. All I can see in the logs is that it was redirected. I don't see any statement about why, so your statement about their intentions is just speculation. Like you said, this has been around for many years. If it takes another week to resolve these questions, what harm is done? Please note, I'm not arguing either way (and have no opinion). I just didn't feel that the existing discussion had reached a policy-based consensus, so I'm giving the discussion more time. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:36, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

@ RoySmith:. Sorry, I misread the opening quotebox above as being from the author; however, I do believe that several editors above (and myself included) have expressed the same concern. Is WP:SYN / WP:OR not considered policy? Regardless, no harm in re-listing it anyway. thanks. Britishfinance ( talk) 14:41, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

WP:SYN and WP:OR are indeed policy, but so is WP:ATD, which says a redirect is preferable to deletion. We've got an article which had been redirected. The nom came along, undid the redirect, and then complained about the content which had previously been hidden by the redirect. That seemed like a pretty odd thing to do.
Looking at this another way, there's an argument above that after the deletion, the redirect should be re-created. That's essentially the same as requesting that the previous history be WP:REVDEL'd. I'm quite sure that such a request would be refused as failing WP:CRD.
So, from my point of view trying to close this, the logical thing seemed to be to restore the redirect, but I knew that would just be WP:DRV-bait. Having people look at this for another week seemed like the preferable course of action. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:15, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Walter Görlitz ( talk) 20:13, 7 March 2019 (UTC) reply

There's no way to divorce notability from referenceability: by definition, referenceability is what the concept of notability measures. There is no notability claim so "inherently" notable that the "need" to maintain an article about them justifies the use of poor quality sources because good ones don't exist — the quality of the sourcing is what the entire concept of notability is. Bearcat ( talk) 20:28, 7 March 2019 (UTC) reply

I will add more sources, however, the comments below contain numerous unfounded assumptions. GAMEO is NOT a wiki. The article cited is from 1989. Nor is The Carillon a "pennysaver." It's a long-established subscription-based newspaper. The article also links to already-existing articles about Jack Thiessen in both the German and Low German wikipedia pages. Neverthless, I will add more sources.

Firstly, GAMEO is a Wiki, which can be plainly verified just by looking at it: it looks exactly like Wikipedia, just with a different logo in the top corner, and it explicitly states about itself that it's powered by MediaWiki, and can be edited by anybody who sets up an account on it. And I don't know where you're getting the idea that "pennysaver" and "subscription based newspaper" are two mutually exclusive things: "pennysaver" is simply a term that means a newspaper published in a small town or city neighbourhood, but not widely distributed enough to make a person notable just because they have some coverage in it. Bearcat ( talk) 20:28, 7 March 2019 (UTC) reply

I fear we may be weighing into semantics here and perhaps a bit off topic. Nevertheless. Yes, I take your point that GAMEO does use Wiki technology, but as you can see at the bottom of the article, the articles are taken from an actual published encyclopedia, The Mennonite Encyclopedia published by Herald Press. After consulting this publication I have update the citation. As for the term "pennysaver," it is by definition a free newspaper that focuses on publishing advertisements. So, yes, The Carillon is a small town paper, but it is not a pennysaver. I take your point, however, that this one citation is insufficient to warrant the Jack Thiessen article. I trust that new references I have added have proven Jack Thiessen's notability.

Pennysavers do not only publish advertisements, but most certainly do also publish real but locally targeted news content. Yes, they may be advertising-heavy, but the word's meaning does not inherently imply that they're advertising-exclusive. Bearcat ( talk) 01:36, 9 March 2019 (UTC) reply

I did not use the word "exclusive" or "only". I said pennysavers "focus" on publishing ads, which is true. That is their primary goal, which is why they are able to give them out for free, and is why the articles that do appear in them would be considered less credible. In this context, however, the term "pennysaver" was misapplied to a traditional newspaper that in no sense fits that definition. Anyway, perhaps this discussion can return to the subject of Jack Thiessen.

There is one source in the article, and it is a notable source, but I cannot find other notable such sources. Notable sources appear to be the only way this can come close to being notable, as the single did not chart or receive notable awards. Additionally, even if multiple notable sources did exist, I'd be hard-pressed to see it as appropriate, by the aforementioned notability guidelines as well as my own judgment, for this to be its own article rather than merged into Hospice (The Antlers album).

Delete - hard to assess since "bear" and "antlers" are both common terms which generally do not refer to this song. But, I am unable to find anything beyond the Pitchfork review. Didn't chart and I don't see significant coverage. And for that reason, I'm out. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 14:10, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

K&C Video

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Aoziwe with the following rationale "I too am not convinced of the notability of the subject. However, the subject may well be considered iconic by some people and they may well be able to dig up sufficient IRS, etc. Accordingly, I think before this one is deleted, it should go to AfD for a broader discussion". Fair enough - can anyone find anything to salvage this? WP:BEFORE produces a big fat zero (maybe the company name is mispelled?). The only link in the article goes to a forum, not even a subthread. At this point this could even be a WP:HOAX, through probably it is not, given it was created by an established and unblocked editor. But I very much doubt the company is notable. PS. If this is deleted, I'd suggest speedy deletion of Category:K&C Video which wouldn't survive a CfD even if this company was notable. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Comment I would agree that the category should go regardless. I suspect it was created to hold all the VHS production or distribution tape releases by the company, that never had their own articles written or have since been deleted? Aoziwe ( talk)
Comment I had a look on Trove for Australian newspapers that may ahe made a comment on this, but I found nothing. (Perhaps there is poor coverage of this time period though). Because of this I did not contest the prod. Don't count any significance as to me creating the page though, as it was done on behalf of an IP editor, when AFC standards were minimal.

Delete Not a hoax (found an ebay ad for a "rare" K&C videotape), but doesn't seem to be notable.

Post City Magazines

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a publisher of community newspapers at the neighbourhood level, completely unreferenced to any reliable source coverage for the purposes of establishing notability per WP:NCORP. The closest thing there was to "referencing" here at all was a series of WP:ELNO-violating offlinks to each individual title's own self-published website, but the notability test for media outlets is not that their own web presence metaverifies itself; rather, the notability test requires the company to be the subject of media coverage it didn't publish itself. But even on a deep ProQuest search, I can't find the coverage it would take; all I'm getting is glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of other things or people, not anything that's substantively about this company. There's also a direct conflict of interest here, as the article was created by a user named "Postemployee". Bearcat ( talk) 00:26, 21 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Delete. Bossier City is large enough that a mayor (interim or otherwise) might get over the bar if the article were really well-referenced, but it is not large enough to hand him an automatic inclusion freebie just because he existed as a mayor — and this is not really well-referenced, but depends two-thirds on primary sources and one-third on local media coverage that isn't even fully cited enough for us to even identify what it was. (Small-town city councillors, for example, have not received "significant press coverage" for the purposes of NPOL #2 just because you can reference their vote totals to a raw table of election results, which is what I suspect the Shreveport Journal citation might be given the context of what it's being used to footnote.)

Delete. Bossier City is large enough that a mayor might be able to clear the bar if the article were really well-referenced, but it is not large enough to hand every mayor an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing as a mayor — and this article is not really well-referenced, being cited entirely to primary sources and Find-a-Grave entries with not even one piece of real media coverage being cited at all.

Billy Guin

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

County level official who fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Despite the length and detail the article is almost entirely made up on non-reliable sources including: obituaries of people in local newspapers who are not the subject of the article (Sources 8,10, 12, 14, 15, 18, 21, 26, 31, 32, 33, & 34); his own obit (1); dead links to online searches (3 & 4); original research and personal notes from the article's since-banned author (2 & 22); Local Newspaper articles that are both unlinked and untitled so we can't even verify that they even existed (11, 13, 17, & 28); Census records that do nothing more than prove that Guinn did, indeed, exist (5); a dead link about a public high school (6); a link to an E-yearbook site (7); a self-cited work by the article author in the North Louisiana History (16); an article about his administrative assistant (19); PDF's of a lawsuit's (20, 23 & 27); a general fact check about water fluoridation on the John Birch Society's website (24); Some sort of local recorded history about Shreveport's debate over water fluoridation that mentions Guinn 3 total times in a 4 page span out of 182 total pages in the document (25); a dead link to what appears to have been a list of Baptist Deacons in Shreveport, LA (29); a dead link to the flyer for a banquet (30). While the article is detailed and in-depth there's not really anything about Guin that indicates notability, and the sources used in the article don't do anything to establish that he was significant enough to meet GNG.
