Repeatedly created and poorly sourced bio of a non-notable porn performer. This article was apparently translated from es.Wikipedia. It is sourced entirely to an unreliable porn blog and two adult film databases. An independent search failed to turn up any reliable source coverage to support
WP:BASIC or
WP:ENT notability. This page started out as a redirect to an unrelated film producer,
Sidney Cole. Since the porn bio's creator insists on keeping it, I am bringing it to the community for consensus.

Delete as per nominator. I suppose it's possible that coverage in reliable sources exists, but the huge lack of digitally-findable sources for someone in the digital era is a very bad sign for notability.

The page shouldn't be deleted, as it is considered to be of a general interest topic, because, the central person in the article, is considered to be of a relative fame, (see Cole's Awards, and participations) unlike, what sr. Gene93k does say. On the other hand, the page is mistakenly confused with the redirection, as it does not write the same way, it does when spelling "Sidney". Also, that could be solved with an acclaration like, Sydney Cole (Pornographic Actress), to solve the redirection problem. I'll also do my best to improve it as better as posible. It doesn't deserve to be deleted, many articles, with way less coherence nor valuable infromation are still on the web. Why should an article with an average relevance be deleted?

General interest (general notability/
WP:BASIC for Wikipedia purposes) requires support from independent reliable sources. Porn blogs and film databases are not acceptable sources. The porn awards won would not even have established notability when the old
WP:PORNBIO guideline was in effect. They don't do it now especially since PORNBIO has been taken down. The original redirect was there as a plausible search term from an alternate spelling/misspelling. As for the "famous" porn starlet, without good references, she is not notable.

Partial rebuttal to deletion rationale It cites two sources, albeit one only as a reference to itself: 1) the coat of arms of Governor General Michaëlle Jean of Canada, as a self-reference (it exists, therefore it exists), and 2) Milo Rigaud's 1969(?) work "Secrets of Voodoo" (it's unclear if City Lights is the name of the parent work or of a location in New York).

Keep or merge with another article on a related topic rather than draft-ify or delete. Any Wikipedian with the time and interest can take the sources in
Loa and related articles to beef this one up to at least Start-class with sufficient evidence of notability to withstand any notability-related deletion discussion. I am not that Wikipedian. As a "default" merge target if nothing better is found, go with
Loa even though that article also covers Loa from
Louisiana Voodoo. I have a weak preference for keeping over merging.

Weak delete due to an absence of a suitable merge target. If the Santa Rosa, California Chamber of Commerce had its own article, I might list there. The page's initial creation by a clearly-COI account tipped me from "neutral" to "weak delete."

The list, just like
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of accidental electric shocks on railways in Romania is the essence of triviality, and a clear violation of NOT INDISCRIMINATE. The individual events, do not belong in an encyclopedia . If we include this, it would make just as much sense to include lists of everyone who died in any sort of transport related accident.
But the introduction, which discusses numbers for the general phenomenon, could be added to
Train surfing. (it also show the worthlessness of the individual listing--it reports 100s a year, but there are many fewer than that listed, just the few that happened to be individually reported & easily findable in online sources. DGG (

There is nothing linking all this incidents and no interest in reliable sources to connect them, so it is an indiscriminate collection of random news. Moreover, there are probably thousands of train surfing incidents, so to create a list of reasonable length one should somehow limit the scope, and as there is no indication how to do it and users do it by themselves, we have original reaserch.

From LISTN: "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. " Just go to the first para and there's an article on train surfing in Australia and the problems there, as an overall problem. We do not need a specific source which say that "There are railways in Brazil too and amazingly enough falling off a train in Brazil is just as dangerous as falling off a train in Australia is". This is BLUESKY: it's reasonable to look for sources from the national bodies which manage rail safety of national railways, but the similarities from country to country are so self-evident that there's little reason for the
UIC to start making international lists as well.
Nor do we even need such a source: the emphasis on groups in LISTN is primarily there for the case when individual entries cannot demonstrate WP:N, whereas these are already well sourced as individuals.
"there are probably thousands of train surfing incidents" is a vague handwave about the wrong topic. This is not about train surfing, it's about cases where that leads to death, or at least serious injury (and these are all already WP:N incidents). If you want to delete
List of train surfing incidents, then you're making the wrong argument at the wrong place.

A college would need a lot of evidence to establish its having been a major academic institution if it only existed for 13 years. In other words, I would say that Miami Valley College wasn't even close to being a major academic institution. (None of the U.S.'s
regional accreditation agencies were founded until a few years after this college closed. But even if the college had remained open a few more years and achieved accreditation, accreditation alone is not enough to establish "major" status.) --

This reads like an article built on one arbitrary and unsourced definition: video arcade games where the screen neither scrolls nor allows the player to "move" between different screens.
There are definitely games that fall into that category and it would have been a common design constraint in the early days of videogaming, but it's a grey area, poorly explored here - as illustrated by the article being unclear about whether Space Invaders and Breakout are single-screen games (because they don't scroll) or multiple-screen games which "move beyond these limitations" (because when you clear one level you move to the next one which may have different contents). There are many modern games that would also fall into this category, such as practically any puzzle game, but it doesn't seem like a meaningful progression. Some games have a play area larger than the screen, others don't.

Poorly sourced
WP:BLP of a single-market local television journalist. As always, local television personalities are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist, but rather they need to meet one or both of two conditions: either they have a nationalized claim of significance, such as winning a noteworthy national journalism award, or they need to have enough
reliable source coverage about them to pass
WP:GNG. But the three footnotes here are her own staff profile on the
self-published website of her own employer, a weekly community hyperlocal, and a university student newspaper -- which means the sourcing isn't good enough for GNG, and there's no nationalized notability claim being made here at all to relieve her of having to have better sources than this.

Sources that you can use to get a person over GNG do not include (a) the alumni magazine of their own alma mater, (b) small neighbourhood pennysavers like The Montrealer or The Suburban, (c) university student newspapers like The Concordian, or (d) content
self-published by her own past or present employers. So the only source you've added that counts a bean toward getting her over GNG is the Montreal Gazette article, and that's not enough to singlehandedly pass GNG all by itself — even a basic GNG pass requires quite a bit more than just one source of that calibre.
Also, she did not win the Canadian Screen Award in 2019 — the winner of a category in that source is the person whose name is bolded, not the person whose name is first. The bolded name and winner in 2019 was
Michelle Dubé, and Arbec has never won a Canadian Screen Award at all to date in any category. And the awards that she has won are much less notable awards that are not notability clinchers if they can be "sourced" only to her own staff profile from her own employer — the extent to which any award confers an
WP:ANYBIO pass is always strictly coterminous with the extent to which the granting of that award gets reported as news by media other than her own employer. If your only possible sources for any given award are (a) her own staff profile on her own employer's website, or (b) the awarding organization's own self-published website or press release about itself, because fully independent /journalistic reportage about that award is non-existent, then by definition that award is not notable enough to make its winners notable for winning it.
And while the Canadian Screen Awards do get reported as news, and thus are an ANYBIO-passing award, merely being nominated for an award that a person has not won is still not an automatic inclusion freebie that would exempt her from having to get over GNG on her sourcing either — so she still needs more than just one solid source amid a bunch of university student newspapers, neighbourhood pennysavers and
WP:SPIP from her own employer before she clears the bar.

I think it still has value in its current form. That would be a good example, but that page has very little sourcing and considering that most of the animation on this page is anime, there are very few English sources. For the time being, I'm just reorganizing it into gender identities so its easier to navigate.

I don't think that solidifies it. Lets say that we do make an article specifically about the history of LGBT characters and themes in animated series. Great, that'd be an amazing idea. But I don't see how going from that, to a page which is just about the characters and nothing else (sans a lead paragraph) is nonsensical. Rather than focusing on various aspects of the representation, history, and all that, it focuses squarely on the characters. We have
history of animation, which gives info on the medium, but we also have pages that are just lists and focuse solely on which films were released; either by decade, country, etc.

Keep. I don't believe this is an indiscriminate or trivial list, and given the subject matter I think it's at least mildly insulting to suggest that it is (though I
do not believe it's the nominator's intention to be insulting). I believe it's more than appropriate to have a list about this subject matter, something we have had in
decades past. It should be well-sourced and this article could use some work in that regard, but it would not be difficult at all to find reliable sources for most of these entries, and the need for improvement is not a valid reason to delete an article. —

Keep, unsurprisingly. First of all, I would not call such a page as "listcruft". Multiple such lists focusing on LGBT characters have existed on Wikipedia for years. And other similar lists which people could describe as arbitrary exist; such as
List of deaths from drug overdose and intoxication, which is even a featured list. LGBT representation, especially in the past few decades has become a much discussed subject. In fact, while I can't talk much about anime, I have found multiple articles discussing LGBT representation in Western animation from the past few years; such as how it has progressed and improved in the last few years. Thus, it's not like a grouping like
List of animated series with LGBT characters is arbitrary, and it does have notability. Moreover, regarding representation of minority characters in media, I'm sure there are other similar examples about, i.e. Black / African-American characters. Having said that, I do kind of where TheLongTone is coming from and a problem somebody could argue this list has. It is a very focused one; concerning LGBT characters, in a specific medium, and in a specific decade. One may ask, why does it have to be this specific? But that's kind of the problem. Obviously having a list with every single LGBT character from every fictional medium would be impossible to manage and navigate. Hence the creation of the aforementioned "LGBT characters in animated series list". But even that list ended up being the single largest one on Wikipedia. On the list's talk page, various options on how to split it were discussed, but this seemed to best and most objective one; rather than separating them by country of origin. Going back to what I said earlier about coverage for the cartoons, I'm sure that that is also something that can be discussed in the lead section and showcase how this kind of list / grouping didn't just randomly pop out of nowhere. Lastly, while the list has issues, a shitton, I don't think that warrants a deletion. There are numerous articles on Wikipedia in an even worse condition, but they're still kept. They have the potential to change and become better; so does this page. Now, I'm not gonna make a false promise and say that I'll single-handedly bring this page to featured list status, but I'm willing to help with it.

Comment – This article was a bold
split from the main article,
List of animated series with LGBT characters, and so is
List of animated series with LGBT characters: 2000s, as can be seen in the
page history of the main article, and a very brief discussion on the
talk page of the main article. Unfortunately, the advice given at
split was not followed - To conform with Wikipedia's licensing requirements, which require that all content contributors receive attribution, the page receiving the split material must have an edit summary noting "split content from article name". (Do not omit this step or omit the page name.) A note should also be made in the edit summary of the source article, "split content to article name". The Copied template can also be placed on the talk page of both articles. For further information, refer to the main Copying within Wikipedia guideline. So using the nominator's logic, then all of these articles should be deleted, or in the alternative, be recoginized for what they are, splits from the
main article (that didn't follow the
information listed at

Keep, encyclopedic, no clear rationale for deletion (and while it's often forgotten on AFD, deletion should always be a last resort reserved for unsalvageable content). NORG seems to be adequately satisfied by the cited sources (e.g.
at least two paragraphs of dedicated coverage here, an English-language profile of the founder with significant detail on the organization
here). But even if the subject-matter of the article fails NORG, that would merely suggest that the UAJS does not merit a stand-alone article -- i.e. it should be merged to some other article on a more general topic. There is
no deadline, so we can wait for topic editors to create
Jewish Studies in Ukraine or similar, at which time they can reach a consensus on whether this content should be merged there or kept distinct. --

Neutral Comment I circled back on this article at least a half dozen times. In approving this out of AfC I relied on the 6th prong of
WP:MUSICBIO. I'll be the first to admit I'm probably not as qualified as some in making the determination of what constitutes a notable ensemble. I didn't examine each ensemble individually, but instead took into consideration the totality of his involvement with multiple ensembles. My judgement was that this subject had a better than not (if even just barely) chance of surviving AfD. To be honest, I have no real interest in defending this article one way or another, just stating my logic in approving it. Ultimately, the best arbiter of this may be some well versed in ensembles.

Good Afternoon, this is my first time participating on WikiPedia. I am a Spotify convert for this band, and thought I could help. I have tried to review the rules as best I could in a short time. From what I can tell, the main issue is if the artist is "notable" and I believe this artist is. I jumped onto Spotify and they've got ~4.6 million listens on their most popular song, and three songs over the 1 million mark. On Youtube their official channel has a fair following with 2.45k subscribers (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaEyLZWWUUA). Regarding links, the EMURG link may be updated via the wayback machine (
https://web.archive.org/web/20131205225130/http://www.emurg.com/rock/memory-of-a-melody-things-that-make-you-scream/). Finally, I respectfully dispute the characterization of Metalholic as an advertising blog. The author of the piece on Memory of a Melody has written quite a lot and doesn't seem to be affiliated with the band (
http://metalholic.com/author/quasimojo/)
Although Metalholic does state they allow "PR" submissions on their about page, I don't actually think that's what this is, or if it is, there's some sort of curating and review process. I assess this by looking at the author and seeing he has many submissions, not just Memory of a Melody, but am open to correction. — Preceding

Comment - I don't think it meets criteria for speedy delete. With respect to WP:AUTHOR, I think there is enough there about queer identity in the Mennonite context that it may meet criterion 3. That possible area is admittedly a relatively specific one, but I wouldn't rule it out. With respect to WP:PRIMARY, the first four references in the article are written by individuals other than the subject, so I don't think it's clearly a reliance on primary sources. However since those cites aren't online, it's difficult to judge. The fact of only one book published certainly counts against notability. I think further investigation is needed.

Keep No evidence of a reasonable BEFORE. AfD is not cleanup. Please do not conflate content with the subject of the article. YRG CARE was founded by the the doctor who first identified HIV in India. Subject of studies in peer-reviewed journals.[1][2] Clearly the centre was a pioneer of HIV/AIDS research in India.[3][4]"one of India’s first voluntary HIV counselling and testing facilities...YRG care ... [undertook] fundamental and important clinical trials in conjunction with the NIH AIDS clinical trials programme...[Solomon's] work and the setting up of YRG CARE were significant factors in slowing the epidemic."[5]

Delete Simply incorrect to claim it "is an unincorporated community" unless you're counting the one homestead nearby as a community – maybe Mr. Robert Yeager of Earl Park, who
was hiring a farm hand in 1945, lived there? Archive results only show it's a frequent site for car accidents

WP:BEFORE link only to a page about deletion when it applies to article creation too?

I know that blogs aren't always considered reliable sources; I'm including them in this list because I think it demonstrates the level of public interest in this show. I'll add these to the article in a "Further reading" section so that people can use them to improve the article. --

I meant "area commander". It doesnt matter which country they operated. Please check
WP:MILPERSON to understand why we cannot have article on every regional/area commander who gets appointed. Similarly, we do not create articles on every soldier, Lieutenant, Major, colonel of Army when they are appointed as regional commanders or their death. ⋙–DBigXrayᗙ12:10, 23 February 2020 (UTC)reply
Insurgency in J&K was first identified in 1989 and thousands of militants were killed. In 2019, 160 terrorists were killed in one year. Did editors create articles about everyone? They know that everyone is not notable. Any small soldier or militant is a subject of notable when their presence or death has a negative effects on diplomatic relations between the two countries, or leads United Nations meeting over Kashmir after a violence caused by death of a militant. More AfD participants are needed to explain the subject's notability to help others understand.

Delete the first thing notable is almost always a work, except when a character has appear so often in so many works that a few of the works they appear in are non-notable. Here there is no notability outside the underlying works. Wikipedia's most overabundant articles are probably on fictional characters, although by percentage we may have the most unneeded articles on fictional things, places and organizations, since those are even less likely to be notable than fictional characters. These articles also have insane longevity, like
Barahir.
